BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. A new story published by The Intercept may be one of the biggest stories of our lives. I believe it may be. It could be one of the biggest stories in the world. If not, I'm sorry. Well, it is one of the biggest stories of our lives. I believe it. I believe it may be. It could be one of the biggest stories in the world. If not, I'm sorry. Well, it is one of the biggest stories in the world. It may be one of the biggest stories in the history of the United States. According to new documents released by The Intercept, along with documents revealed through

a lawsuit filed by the Missouri attorney general, we now have hard proof that executives at big tech companies were colluding with DHS and the FBI to manufacture consent, manipulate public opinion, censor certain information that was deemed hurtful to U.S. financial institutions, and influence the elections in the way they wanted. It's right there. Now, I know that most of us knew this was happening because we've seen so many grains of sand forming that heap. But now we actually have leaked text messages where you can see the DHS talking with Microsoft and the Microsoft exec saying we need to get more companies on board with government involvement. The Jayagade of Twitter was directly meeting with the government monthly, according to The Intercept.

No wonder she got fired. This is this is huge stuff. They said that the goal was to manipulate information on racial justice, financial. I mean, this is crazy. So, yeah. And a week before the election, no less. I kind of believe that this leak was intentional because Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter meant that he is sitting on a trove of evidence. And it was only a matter of time before he got it. And so they're basically thinking we better get in front of this one. It was reported the Biden administration was seeking to have a national security review of the Twitter sale to Elon and then ultimately didn't. And I wonder if that was because they knew something bad was going to happen. The information would be released. And now it is.

So now we know this is a direct violation of the Constitution. And that's probably putting it lightly. Some are calling it treason and sedition, considering you've got elements of the government actively colluding with people like Vijay Agade to manipulate information, to censor people, to violate their rights and manipulate our elections. Literally, they report one of the reasons for this was the 2016 election fear about disinformation. So they started actively interfering. Here's the crazy thing. The Facebook login portal for the government is still up.

We can show you. That's how crazy it is. We're gonna talk about that. Plus, we have another really ridiculous and insane story about Paul Pelosi and the conspiracy theories around what really went down with his house, because you either believe that a QAnon cultist tried to murder Nancy Pelosi, but only found Paul, or you think that a leftist Black Lives Matter pride flag waving male prostitute was having a good time with Paul Pelosi. And I think both stories are a bit over the top, to be completely honest. I think we can we can break down if you're really if you're really looking for what happened.

You can come up with some reasonable explanations. But all that matters, we need the information. We need the evidence. We need the surveillance footage.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and more is Jake Beckett. Tim, great to be with you. Thanks for having me. Absolutely.

Who are you, good sir? So I am Jake Beckett from the great state of Arkansas, born and raised. I played football for the University of Arkansas back in the glory days. We had some good teams back in those days. Played four years with the Patriots. Stole a Super Bowl ring from those guys. Stole it? Yeah, stole it.

I was lucky to be there. I tell everyone that it wasn't really Tom Brady and Bill Belichick who were the real masters of the program. It was all me. All you. Everybody knows. It was all me. Everyone knows that. And then I joined the Army. I spent four years in the Army. I was an infantry officer. I went through ranger school, deployed to Iraq, and then I ran for U.S. Senate out of Arkansas. Came a bit short this time, but I love to serve my state, my country, and I want to be in the fight, and that's where I am. Right on.

Well, thanks for hanging out. This should be fun. Thanks for having me. We got Luke, of course. Hey, guys. Happy Halloween, for the record. I did have a Halloween costume, but it was a bit inappropriate for the show. If you want to see it, you can on my Twitter or Instagram, at LukeWeAreChanged.

But I'm just wearing just a regular Joe Joe Biden t-shirt. If you get the reference, you know exactly what's going on. You are in the know. And it's a shirt of a big nose sniffing Biden. You can get it on thebestpoliticalshirts.com because you do.

I am here. Thank you so much for having me. What's up, everybody? Ian Crossland here sipping on a little bit of this liquid gold turmeric myself. Not an advertisement, just telling you it's delicious.

That's delicious, in case you didn't hear that. Good to see you. What's up, Serge? Hey, and I'm Serge.com. I'm also drinking this turmeric drink. It's delicious in case you didn't hear that. Good to see you. What's up, Serge? Hey, and I'm Serge.com. I'm also drinking this turmeric drink. It is rather good. And happy Halloween, guys.

Hope you're feeling spooky. I know I am. We had a Halloween contest earlier. A lot of really great costumes. Carter built a Mothman costume with a helmet that had glowing eyes. He ended up winning. But we're going to have that up tomorrow on the cast castle vlog showing you all of the ridiculously offensive like everybody just decided to be offensive that it's like

it's what you do i guess so anyway let's jump into this first story and talk about the end of the world how about that we have this from the intercept truth cops that's the headline it's amazing leaked documents outline homeland security's plans to police disinformation. I'm kind of surprised they put it that lightly. Let me show you this Twitter thread from Lee Fang, one of the writers on this article. He says docs show Facebook and Twitter closely collaborating with the Department of Homeland Security and FBI to police disinfo plans to expand censorship on topics like withdrawal from Afghanistan, origins of COVID info that undermines trust in financial institutions. FBI agent Laura Demlow was in communication with Facebook that led to the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 over the false

allegation that it was disinformation. This year, she met with Twitter DHS to stress, quote, we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable. Check this out. Facebook and Twitter created a special created special portals for government to rapidly request takedowns of content. The portal, along with the NGO partners used to censor a wide range of content, including obvious parody accounts and content disagreeing with government pandemic policy. That right there, the government doesn't like that your dissenting was colluding with communications platforms, private collusion, literal conspiracy to silence you for your dissent.

Check this out. There's text messages right here. The emails and documents show close collaboration between DHS and private sector. Twitter's Vijaya Gade, fired by Elon Musk last week, met monthly with DHS to discuss censorship plans. Microsoft exec texted DHS, quote,

platforms have to get comfortable with government. Incredible. He says, how does DHS justify its evolving mission from countering foreign terror groups to policing domestic disinfo

on social media? Leaked planning docs show the agency argues false information is a source of radicalization and violence. And of course, I really want you to see this. This right here is the Facebook URL for the Facebook. What is this? The portal is for onboarded partner requests pertaining to content issues on Facebook and Instagram. If you are an onboarded partner, please put in your request through this portal. It's still live. The Facebook link for the government to go and tell Facebook what to take down is still available right now.

This is crazy. This report's actually ridiculously long. I was reading through it. It's massive. They mentioned that they were policing information on, say, like racial justice. For what reason? What justification would the government have to do anything like this? Outright, it's subverting our elections, especially now. They're saying it's ongoing. And Twitter executives, Facebook, Microsoft were meeting with the DHS to police what they deem as disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation.

And to me, this is far beyond that this is a criminal conspiracy this is the government colluding with big tech social media in order to make sure that they have all the power all the influence and anyone daring to just question them not just about you know racial justice issues as you mentioned here but but the topics here that they specifically decided to intervene on make them look bad. It was also Afghanistan. It was also the origin of COVID. It was also a product that, of course, they were working and colluding to make a lot of people take. And when you look at those issues, what do those issues have in common, especially Afghanistan?

They clearly show something that the government got wrong. They clearly led people down a wrong pathway. They clearly screwed the people of Afghanistan over. They clearly screwed all the soldiers there, but they wanted to control the narrative so they could still look like they did something good when they obviously did something horrible. And when you're doing that, when you're creating godlike power and authority to silence people, to censor people people and to control narratives we're talking about huge amounts of power that that is almost virtually impossible to to hold anyone accountable to i'm trying to elevate my perception to the level of global governance like if if i was in

control of american military and and there's like a world because like for me i'm an american citizen american politics and and the Constitution. That's key. If you violate the Constitution, you're messing up. But then you elevate to the next level of like I'm now in control of the military. And they intern Japanese people during World War Two, though they will violate the Constitution in times of great stress to make sure that we all survive. I need this. This is going to be settling in.

I mean, I had a feeling that they've been doing this since 2012, 2013, but it's just, I don't know if it has to happen. Yeah, it's just confirmation. Yeah, I've been screaming about this. This has been happening for years, and everyone's like, you know, you can't really prove it. It's not happening. Because when you look at all the censorship efforts that they were doing throughout the years, it all made sense that this was organized not for the benefit of big tech social media,

but for the benefit of the people in charge, in power. And now we have the documents. Now it's proven. Sorry, I cut you off. No, absolutely. I mean, to me, I feel sorry for those who still believe we have a truly private sector, because really this is the government. They're outsourcing their dirty work to these giant tech corporations. And we saw it during COVID. We saw it, I think it really started during the 2016 elections. Because Trump, I mean, Trump won in large part, in my opinion, due to his influence on social media. He was able to go around the corporate legacy media,

go around that distorting prism of their influence and go directly to the people. And they kind of had this Rubicon, this never again moment. We're not going to let this happen again. We can't let these America first populist types go around our gatekeeping mechanism and go straight to the voters. And so that's where it started, in my opinion. I'm sure it happened before that. But 2016 was kind of the collective never again moment.

And I think it was accelerated through trump's administration um you know they they they took it exponentially uh you know higher during covid during 2020 um and it's just it's really sad because there's so many politicians and and people in the gop you know our leaders who are supposed to be representing us at the highest level who are still fighting the same battle they were pretending to fight back in the 80s. You know, it was a give and take on corporate tax rates and, you know, we're the party of small government and we're the party of, you know, freedom of enterprise. And that battle has been lost. And so now we're seeing this terrifying union of big government tyranny.

BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. And outsourced to these big tech corporations and nothing can be more, you know, subversive to liberty. And, you know, until we recognize that, until we as a people and we as a Republican Party, those on the right, until we just come to grips with that new reality, we're never going to be able to even, you know, much

less defeat it, even fight back against it. Take a look at this from the story. Trump signed it. They say that the stepped up counter disinformation effort began in 2018 following high profile hacking incidents of US firms when Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act, forming a new wing of DHS. Wow.

Trump probably, he said, hey, it sounds like a good idea to me. I wonder if he read it. Probably not. Probably not. He probably had some advisor just be like, this is good. It's going to protect our infrastructure.

And he was like, makes sense to me. And he signed off on it. Little did he know that all of a sudden now damning information that was bad about say Joe Biden's family would be suppressed because the FBI was going to Facebook and being like, look out for this.

And not only that, but this is specifically referencing this story by The Intercept, and these leaked documents are specifically mentioning the Hunter Biden story, which they even named the FBI agent in this story that went to Facebook and said, hey, this is disinformation, you got to take this down, when the FBI knew that they were lying through their teeth after their interview with Tony Bobulinski. They knew that the Hunter Biden story was legit. It wasn't Russian disinformation,

but Trump signed into law what essentially was a major component and part of him getting kicked out of office, which is absolutely crazy. And not only that, but a lot of the nonsense that the American people had to go through within the last two and a half to three years when it came to COVID, the lockdowns, small businesses being shut down.

They were only able to get away with it because they dominated the conversation. Anyone speaking out against them would be censored, would be kicked offline. Doctors would be kicked out of medical boards, would have their licenses taken away for even questioning what was going on here and now we're finding out that was that was what the doj and the fbi were making sure was happening because now we're finding out that they were at the head of making a lot of these decisions pushing for censorship pushing for disinformation not in in an alleged fight against fighting it but in reality they were really pushing it no no no you said were they are did you say that the portal is still active on facebook right now they specifically went to facebook and asked them to censor specifically the Hunter Biden story. OK, then Mark Zuckerberg lied to Joe Rogan. Yes, yes.

Look, they were not specific. Or he didn't know. Look at this. There is a Facebook portal where they can go and specifically say, take this down. Now, hold on. To be specific and to be very careful, Mark Zuckerberg may be the one time that the FBI didn't have to go through this portal and they were talking to Mark on the phone, maybe he was referring to some very specific moment and that's how it went down.

You're not going to convince me when Facebook has an active portal for government takedown requests that they went to Mark and said, there may be a story. We can't tell you which one though. And then Mark went, better take down this Hunter Biden laptop story. Don't buy it. Not when Facebook built them a portal to specifically request takedowns.

Yeah, and when you look at the story and specifically the tweets, they mentioned an FBI agent, Laura Delmo, Delmo Lo. Demlo, was that what it was? Demlo. And specifically referencing the Hunter Biden story to the FBI, to Facebook.

So they're mentioning it from all these leaked documents. It's more in our face more than ever. And I'm sure the story is well sourced, and I'm sure there are some within these institutions who are on our side. But to my mind, I'm wondering where is the right-wing resistance inside these institutions? It's kind of like the dog that didn't bark. We're not seeing the kind of organized resistance to the Biden administration that we saw from these institutions in permanent D.C. as during the Trump administration. So that tells me these institutions, they're beyond being salvaged. They're not reformable. And I just don't hear enough from people who are in politics on our side, on the right, kind of the old right, as I say, who truly grasp that.

Who say, like, you know, there's no nipping around the edges of the FBI. There's no nipping around the edges of the DOJ. There's no nipping around the edges of DHS. Because they are in cahoots with permanent Washington, with the left-wing media, with big tech. And until we understand the power of that union, we can't defeat it. Yeah, you got to build systems that are indiscernible, that are decentralized, that are mesh networked, that aren't relying on centralized services, that run under the radar because I don't think you can compete with global government military force.

You mean like the LavaBit email servers, Ian? That's specifically where it started, that Edward Snowden was using, where the NSA came to and gave them an official national security letter saying, shut up, give us all your information or you're going to jail. The LavaBit story, I actually interviewed the founder a few years ago, Ladar Levinson, absolutely stood up to some crazy insanity when it came to the federal government coming after him trying to, of course, spy on whistleblowers. And he leaked that story. And he actually safeguarded a lot of very important data and information.

This is LavaBit is an open source encrypted webmail service founded in 2004. And it was 2013, the government ordered it to turn over its SSL private keys. So that then they were, yeah, I think the service should not be holding onto the private keys. Those should be the only, the sender and receiver should have those keys. That's a big part of it. I want to say, did I call it or did I call it? Here's a tweet. It's an excerpt from that story.

In a March meeting, Laura Demlow, an FBI official, warned the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S. government. Imagine that. Do you think? Luke, I got to imagine you're trying really hard every day to undermine support for the U.S. government. But I'll keep reading. Demlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Twitter and JPMorgan Chase stressed that we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable. This is what I was saying, that the reason Elon tried backing out is because they showed

him confidential information saying we have these arrangements with the federal government and you can't disclose it and you now have to buy it. And Elon probably was like, no way, dude, no way. Now, maybe that's not the case. But what I did get right was that Twitter was actively working with the government on what they deemed to be national security issues, albeit bunk ones. What may have happened now, because also I won't say I got 100% correct. What may have happened after this, Elon Musk buys Twitter.

Now he's leaking information. You guys see this? The evidence that they withheld information on fraud or whatever. He posted this tweet of the guy being like, basically, we're doing what Elon's accusing us of doing. And the information was withheld from the courts. I think Elon gets Twitter. The Obama, I'm sorry, the Biden, well, the Biden administration panics. They leak this information because they know Elon is now sitting on a trove of evidence and he probably will publish it or it will get leaked and they can't control it anymore. He knows how the federal government manipulated the public landscape, manipulated the elections,

manipulated national strategies, manipulated what happened in Afghanistan, manipulated what happened with COVID. That's a treasure trove of information that he has as his fingertips right now that could show us the direct manipulation by government, the direct manipulation and interference of government when it came to, of course, destroying free speech in this country. And again, I've been screaming about this for years and everyone's always was saying, but it's a private company. It's a private company. I still remember, you know, even three years ago being on the show and then there was a guest saying, but there's a private company. It's a private company. I still remember, you know, even three years ago, being on the show, and then there was a guest saying,

but there's a private company. They get to do what they want. And I was like, they're not a private company. They were never a private company. They always had connections with the federal government. They are a proxy of the U.S. government. Exactly. And the special interests who control the U.S. government,

that actually pulled the strings of the bureaucrats inside of Washington, D.C. And then people need to realize this is real. This is absolute real life, crazy conspiracy that that has turned out to be true a week before the election. Let me tell you, guys, we hear from from the left, the Democrats. They're like this election is could be the death of democracy. If the Republicans win, the Republic is over, whatever. Well, they don't say Republic. They say the death of democracy. I genuinely believe it. This story got exposed that this election very well may be a battle for the soul of

the Republic, to which I don't even know if Republicans can save it, to be completely honest. But certainly Democrats are going to rip it to shreds. And the last line of defense is going to be some of these MAGA Republicans who might actually push back against this. But let me put it this way. They started this campaign after the 2016 election. We then saw how the media was manipulating. We saw all of it. We saw the lies about Donald Trump constantly, social media censorship, the banning of Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos, Project Veritas. They are doing this specifically because they want to manufacture consent. The Democrats have controlled Congress since 2018. This has been ramping up. Trump

signed the CISA Act around 2018 with Democrats in control. If they retain control of Congress, these programs will manipulate and subvert public discourse, manufacture consent, and interfere with our elections. If there is not an effort in any way, I don't know if Republicans, I'm not saying Republicans are guaranteed to do anything about it, but they're certainly the only ones who are able to. If this is not, if the Democrats win, this is going to ramp up tenfold, and then that's it. But hold on, I want to kind of question that a little bit, because it was Donald Trump who put this into place, right? And if you're a Republican coming into power, right,

that's like the ring of Sauron right here. You have the ability to navigate and control speech online. You have the possibility to fortify elections. Why would Republicans give up that power? Because it consumes you. Exactly. Yeah, but I don't trust the Republican Party. I mean, not the leadership.

There are good Republicans. There are good members. And there are good candidates running this cycle. But what I struggle with is, you know, here we go again. We've had wave elections in this country before. 1994, 2010, 2016, we had the trifecta. You know, White House, both chambers of Congress. And here we are again,

we're talking about another wave election. Well, where did those three previous wave elections get us? Right here. So what's going to be different about it this time? If we take the House, we'll have Kevin McCarthy as the Speaker. If we take the Senate, we'll have Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader. And I'm not saying it's a good thing to have the Democrats in full control for two more years. But I just want to hear how this is going to be different this time. I agree. And what frustrates me to no end is we don't treat our voters with respect. We don't treat the right-leaning people in this country, our constituents, we don't have the humility to look them in the eye and say,

hey, what we've been doing has been failing, and we're going to try something different. I don't see them doing anything different. But that's just me. That's my own perspective. I mean, there's Thomas Massey. There's Marjorie Taylor Greene. There's Rand Paul. There are great members.

They may, if the Republicans get in, they may be able to make some, look, it's the best chance we got. Especially in the House. There's some great members on the House side. The Senate's a different story. Unless your proposal, Luke, is, I don't know, vote Libertarian? It's a uniparty. It's two heads of the same snake

at the end of the day. We also have to understand our public opinion matters on this. What we say, what we think, how we respond to this story, how we share this story absolutely matters. And I say that specifically because if you remember, not so long ago, the federal government tried to pass the Disinformation Government

Board, and they had a disinformation czar that they were putting forward. Essentially, what they government tried to pass the disinformation government board and they had a disinformation czar that they were putting forward. Essentially, what they were trying to do is codify what they were doing in secret. And then the wide response to that was, hell no, are you crazy? You want to control speech in this country? You're insane. But now we're finding out, oh yeah, they were just doing it the whole time, but under a sub-organization of the DHS under CISA. That's the organization that was doing this. That's the organization doing this now. So we have to understand,

they're only doing this in secret because that's the only way that they could get away with this. Right now, we need more of a bigger pushback. And again, left, right, I think we shouldn't be consumed with parties. We shouldn't be consumed by making mass generalizations about individuals based on their gang and their affiliation.

We should focus on the individual. If an individual is good, we should support them. If an individual sucks and is a corporatist and is a banker and is a little sellout status shill that will screw you over, don't support that person. I don't think that the solution is in the government, though. I think that as always in the United States, it comes from the public, the private sector, the people that are willing to build systems that adhere to the U.S. Constitution. The government's there to protect us if things go wrong. And I think social media in general, you're never going to be able to ask it. Stop manipulating. Stop manipulating things. Stop. It's never going to stop. It's there for the world.

The problem with free systems is they're easy to manipulate. They're easy to hijack. So that's one kind of flaw in the united states freedom and democracy it lets people come in and just twist it around and say whatever they want and that's spread communism and spread authoritarianism and so that's oh oh i i think that uh oh anyway continue yeah i'll get back to that's actually one of the big conspiracy theories of history is that the British didn't actually surrender the Revolutionary War. They realized that we were attempting to build a government of, for, and by the people. And they said, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We can finance control of the colonies.

We don't need to do anything. And they really did. The central banks, they warned us that the central banks are more dangerous than standing armies. And over the years, they've tried. This is the third one that they've installed in the United States. What was it? Andrew Jackson got shot after he broke up the second one. He did.

Just finished a great Andrew Jackson biography. Yeah, I mean, he was a hero. I mean, imagine abolishing the federal bank and being in office with a federal surplus. Not a debt, a surplus. I mean, the big controversy in his administration was how to distribute the surplus amongst the states. Imagine that. Imagine that problem. And then they put him on the $20 bill.

But you're talking about something here that's very important here because this DHS board, this information board, was also working to, of course, make sure that information wasn't being released that would undermine our financial institutions inside of the United States and trust in the financial institutions that literally have bankrupted this country it's not a recession it's a robbery what's happening right now with the banks and what they've done to the american public yeah they have to really hate us i imagine like ian rank ragging on the federal reserve 24 7 luke as well well how does this show exist some people just want to end it all and they'll be like take it down to burn it to the ground but i'm not not like that. I'm one of like, make a better system so that we can transition away from the Federal Reserve into like a decentralized system of banking. The great thing about the Federal Reserve is if someone robs it and takes your money, they'll cover it. FDIC insurance, like if you lose your bank card, you can go get another

one. With crypto, if you lose your keys all your crypto's gone forever you have nothing if someone steals your crypto out of your wallet you are you have nothing yeah it's a bear and there's no recourse very dangerous for like the common man i understand why there's reticence but at the same time like it's like pick your poison do you want total overarching control authoritarianism or do you want fully decentralized laissez-faire good luck out there lifestyle i don't you know i don't maybe there's a middle ground i probably want a middle ground um but who's going to be who would be in control of the crypto wallets who would be there to be like i'll

make sure i'll be the one that'll hold your keys for you that doesn't i think anything's better right now than the current system we have now where the government literally prints money and just hands it to the richest people in the world. I think specifically the people who promote the ESG score and use that kind of leverage and power in order to push woke nonsense onto people, that should be pushed back, Don. But again, a lot of it is coming from top-down corporations that get a lot of money from the Federal Reserve. I agree, Luke. They should not be printing money and giving it to the richest people in the world.

They should be printing the money and giving it to me. Then I'd be totally okay with it, right? Just give me the money and then we're good because that's'd be totally okay with it, right? You know, just give me the money and then we're good because that's the way that's the way power works. A lot of people do think like that, yeah. That's exactly how people think.

Everybody thinks that they have all the answers and actually, interestingly, it tends to be that the only answers come from decentralization when everyone is actually arguing and then the ideas that make the most sense rise to the top and then end up succeeding.

There's like value to like minimal centralization, like nodes of centralization all over the place, proliferative. You don't want more than 60 people involved in a node or something like that. But Tim, what you're mentioning right now is extremely important and exactly what the Department of Homeland Security is preventing. They're preventing the best ideas from going out there. They're preventing solutions. They're preventing a lot of this nonsense to be stopped in our lives. The pain and suffering that a lot of people are going through is because of the disinformation out there that they are spewing actively, and they are not fighting it. They are making sure that they are codifying their agenda, their narrative, which goes against you and everyone else. That's a great point, because that was the original concept of our

government, was a very decentralized system with very little power vested in a central government. The states could be the incubators of liberty, as I think someone, one of the founders said. But, of course, the powers that be, they understand that when people are presented with the truth, with an opposing narrative, they're attracted to it. It gets them thinking, and it reduces their own power. So they have to squash it. And that's what we're seeing with this story. That's what we've seen for the past six years on steroids.

And it's never going to stop until they feel the consequences of that decision they've made. Well, I think they're losing control. And this story is one element of that. But take a look at this from Daily Mail. Democrats demand a national security investigation into Saudi Arabia's stake in Twitter under Elon Musk. Senator says kingdom wants to repress political speech and impact U.S. politics. Boy, was that fast.

The Saudi prince has had a major stake in Twitter for a very long time. And not a single one of these psychopaths batted batted an eye until now with elon musk taking over there there was a tweet and they said how long until all of a sudden the democrats the but my private company democrats change their mind and say we need regulation and insight and oversight into this well here you go yeah robert reich immediately with the elon thing like lit him on like not like not, but just set him off. Like Rob, all of a sudden now he's screaming about Elon being an oligarch. We need to break it up.

Like he never mentioned that. I mean, I've never, like Jack Dorsey wasn't. Yeah. Wait until they find out about Tik TOK in China. Wait until, wait until they find out about Facebook and, you know,

the department of Homeland security. So we just find out what we found out about right now. Again, this is clearly an attempt to punish Elon Musk as he is presenting an opportunity to fight back against all of this nonsense and provide the best ideas to rise to the top. That's an idea that's scaring the crap on the individuals who have a monopoly on ignorance and violence.

And that, of course, is the state. Absolutely. I mean, the Saudi Public Investment Fund, they've, you know, publicly they've invested in this live golf tour recently. They were early investors in Uber. The PIF has their hands in a lot of American companies. That's not really a new thing. I found it interesting that the DOJ launched a criminal investigation into Tesla last week,

coincidentally the week of the closing of the Twitter deal, into Tesla's full self-driving capabilities. So I thought that timing was a bit more than suspect, that the week the Twitter deal closes, the DOJ launches not a civil investigation, a criminal investigation with potential jail time for Tesla executives. Can I just ask everybody if they have their shot glasses ready so I can say Civil War now? There you go.

Should have given you a second. We have this tweet from Chris Murphy says, Today I'm requesting the Committee on Foreign Investment, which reviews acquisitions of U.S. businesses by foreign buyers, to conduct an investigation into the national security implications of Saudi Arabia's purchase of Twitter. He already had the stake in Twitter. And the reason why I bring up those magic words is because when the

Democrats overlook or defend things like foreign influence in our social media platforms, when it favors them and then seek to weaponize the U.S. government or the DOJ when when all of a sudden that power shifts, we can't function that way. It's not possible for this country to exist if one political party is actively weaponizing law enforcement and the weight of the federal government to target their political rivals. And that's the only way it ever goes. Eventually, confidence shatters. And it doesn't have to be civil war like people charging at each other. That's not how the first civil war started. It can be a peaceful divorce. Would you consider what Gandhi did with India, a civil war, when they just stopped saying,

sorry, Britain, just passive disobedience, we're not following anymore? It could be that. My beef with the national divorce crowd, I'm open to that concept, but I think that fundamentally misunderstands the nature of the radical left. They're never going to let red states just go off and do their own thing. The left, they get off on rubbing your nose in it. They get off on lording it over you. As we're seeing now, just look at one example out of many. Look at the way that the gay pride movement has evolved over the past 20, 30, 40 years.

It started as just do what you want in your own bedroom to civil unions, to gay marriage, to the pride movement, to transgender, to grooming children. It's about rubbing it in the faces of their political enemies. And so I think that the concept that we're going to have this very so I just, I think that the concept that we're going to have this very civil national divorce, I think that's a bit naive. Nothing civil, but at the same time, I agree with your point. There are statists that love to tell people what to do. But when you have a centralized, big federal bureaucratic government, you have a vessel to allow them to do that. And I think we're seeing the results of that.

And I think we're seeing such divisiveness, so many people fighting each other because of other people pushing their ideas onto other individuals. That's why I think a decentralization, a moving away from a big federal government and enforcing state governments could be something like a peaceful divorce

that could eventually happen in a way where it's not really a divorce, but at the same time, we don't have other people forcing ideas onto other people because there's no vessel in order to do it adequately and that's why i would always argue because i am for uh you know uh you know a peaceful divorce but a peaceful divorce in a way that doesn't rely on the federal government telling states what to do states deciding for themselves what they should be doing themselves a limited federal government regarding this saudi this saudi uh news so this is the same investment saudi investment that was in twitter before the acquisition yep and so here's what

happened this guy had a stake in twitter elon went to existing major shareholders and said will you keep your stake in so that i can acquire this company and turn it around? At first, he was like, nah, get out of here. Then he was like, okay. This is, by the way, the same Saudi prince that has an investment with tens of millions of dollars with Bill Gates. Why isn't Bill Gates being investigated by the federal government with his Saudi Arabian collusion, especially with his Chinese collusion, especially with his energy companies, especially with his nuclear companies and his technology that's helping the Chinese

build new weapons. Why isn't he being investigated for that? There's a lot more at stake with that than Elon Musk having a platform where people could now finally talk to each other. There's a big difference between the two. And obviously, this is a clear action just to try to hurt Elon Musk here. Exactly. I mean, if you want to outlaw all foreign investment in American companies, yeah, let's have that conversation. But it's the selective enforcement that Senator Murphy, I mean, obviously, they're just they're trying to, you know, attack a political enemy.

As I see, Musk is now a political enemy of the left. Do you think it would be righteous to ask the Saudi prince to recuse himself from the stock holdings of the American companies? I mean, in general, you think that's a wise move? He's invested in a lot of things in the United States, by the way. And I mean, are we going to single out this one guy? Yeah, I don't want to single out this one guy. I would say the Chinese. I mean, there is no universe in which the Chinese Communist Party should have any stake in American companies, period.

American farmland, American companies, like we should treat them the way we used to treat the USSR during the Cold War. And before that, there was zero, essentially zero trade relationship between the American government and the American marketplace and the Soviet marketplace. I think there could be some trade, but probably a lot of sanctions. Are they an enemy or not? I mean, that's a decision we have to make. Especially with the Uyghur camps.

That's why I think, you know, my fear is that sanctions could eventually lead to escalation. But do we just ignore? That's a tough thing. You've got the interventionist versus anti-interventionist. And the lightest form of it is still like, hey, you're doing a thing we don't like, so we're going to sanction you. But I'm telling you, in Arkansas, you know, like rural, deep red, you know, God's country Arkansas, we have a lot of Chinese-owned land in our state. We have a lot of Chinese oligarchs and Chinese government investment in our state. We had a Chinese native who was a professor at the University

of Arkansas who was convicted of espionage on behalf of the CCP. I mean, it's the University of Arkansas. Let me ask you, why should any American citizen have to compete with the finances of Chinese oligarchs? If you're in Arkansas, if you're in any state, and you want to buy a plot of land to start a business, raise a family, why are you competing in the market with a foreign country? That's a no-brainer. I mean, that shouldn't even be a debate. But again, the free market, we take these things to the logical extreme when it makes no rational sense.

I feel like if a guy in like 1989 was found committing espionage against the United States, he was a professor? Was he in Chinese National? He was a Chinese National at the University of Arkansas. That would have been global. Yeah, that would have been like global news. It would have been on massive news. Very little coverage. If they wanted to create

animosity towards the Chinese, which right now I don't think they want to create animosity towards the Chinese. It seems like they're very in cahoots that they want to sell Taiwan to the Chinese, which, by the way, you could always sell eastern Ukraine to the Russians if you really want to go deep and just kind of peacefully sell out. I don't know. I don't think it's as simple as that. It's better than conflict. So I've always been concerned about the Saudi prince's stake in Twitter. The difference between then and now is then you had a public company

where he was pushing his influence. Now you have Elon in full control. There is still a question of whether or not this Saudi prince is saying to Elon, like, I gave you some of this money, so I expect favors, something like that. So the funny thing is, look, I don't trust this Democrat

to actually have a legitimate investigation, but I think we should know exactly to what degree this Saudi prince's influence on Twitter. Did Elon not pay the $44 billion then? He got debt financing. He had other stuff. So this Saudi Prince had this nearly $2 billion piece of Twitter. He said, hold on to that, but give me control of the company. Basically, like loaning Elon. Basically. He might get a board seat of some kind. Well, Elon made himself the sole board member, I guess. For now.

For now. He said that's temporary. Yeah, he tweeted today that it's not going to be for long that he is just the sole guy in charge here. Right. I wouldn't want that pressure either. Sure. And that's the question. Like, I mean, should we allow a foreign national to be, you know, a board member of even an American private corporation?

I mean, that's, I mean, that mean, are we serious about this or not? I don't think it's wise to have foreign nationals, if they can't run for office, to own our social networks that we use probably more than... Especially how we've just demonstrated they're not even free enterprise private companies anyway. They're federal government proxies. Are you against African-American-owned businesses like Twitter?

Ian, is that what you're trying to say here? Is that what you guys are trying to say? You caught me. You caught me. No, I fully support African-American-owned businesses like Twitter. I think it's a very complex landscape. It's not easy, but I'm saying it's easy. I'm all for the free market, but essentially we don't have a free market.

We have socialism for the super rich. We have government intervention with tax incentives, with subsidies, with them giving money from the poorest people and giving it to the biggest corporations that pay off the politicians. So we don't have a free market system. If we did, I would think that this system

would of course fix itself naturally with incentives and better business practices and better competition. But we don't have any of that. So I think before making any laws, first we've got to get the government out of business, and then business will fix itself. There's no real free market. It's a doublespeak term. It's always been controlled either by the people with the money or the governments. Not when Andrew Jackson ruled, though.

Well, it was probably the oligarchs at that point, like the Vanderbilt, pre-Vanderbilt. Robert Barron's, allegedly. Yeah, yeah. They call it free market to appease the masses, and they're like, don't worry, it's free, but when you realize what's happening, it's controlled by the... Well, the same with communism, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but look, look, look, look. The idea of a free market is, I don't think anyone, if you believe in a utopian view of things, you're probably wrong, but in the general sense of a free market, it means that someone from the lowest class can find a way to make money, trade,

and eventually become the upper echelon and gain significant control over that system. So it's upward mobility in a system. As opposed to like a centralized market. Yeah, or caste system. Yeah, whenever you have the government not involved in private business, businesses expand, but also quality of life expands. But whenever the government centralizes a lot of the stuff, as we've seen throughout

history, this is not always the case. But correlation historically says less government, more economic freedom, more prosperity for human beings. And then the opposite of that is also true historically. Correct. Because the free market, I mean, really all it does is just harness, you know, human nature. And people's ability to fix their problems. People acting in their own self-interest. And really, I'm not attacking the free market per se. I'm attacking people arbitraging the system, gaming it to essentially be rent-seeking behavior. I mean, that's what these people are doing by centralizing power and gaming the free market to their own advantage.

That's what I'm attacking. But they're not gaining a free market. They're going to the government and be like, we want to make sure we have no liability when we give you this product. We want to make sure that no one could sue us if we hurt people when you help us promote for us and do our PR in making sure people take our product. That's not a free market at all. No, that's an aberration.

It would originate with two guys selling apples and they're like, we're going to compete. Whoever wants to buy my apples at a cheaper price will do this. Then eventually, the two apple sellers get together, and they collude, and they're like, yo, let's set the price of apples. So then the government comes in. They're like, no, we need a free market. We're going to make sure no one violates the law. And then the government sets the laws and sits there as an arbiter, except now what

you're saying, they're giving people subsidies. Not just that. The federal government is selling a product for the benefit of big pharma selling it shilling it and then using their monopoly of violence in a way to get protection no matter what happens in this any liability which is crazy that's not a free market guys i just want to give a shout out considering the episode and the subject matter to all of the uh feds who are watching and what up and uh feel free to you know set the record straight if this stuff is not correct or whatever you know you guys can uh send emails and and and send information uh project veritas i'm sure would be really interested to hear what's really going

on behind the scenes so uh i've been a lot of people are out of control in their heads like what do we do what do we i want to preserve american constitutionalism we are globalizing and it's happening like a snowball and they're like what do we do do i just go along with what what's already been in place like are we are we coagulating with the chinese becoming an uber state they don't believe in the constitution they believe that this country was founded not in 1776, but in 1619. They believe a whole bunch of insane historical manipulations, lies, misinterpretations to justify their weird cult. That's the scary thing.

So when they're like in this in this in the meeting report from the story from the intercept, they're saying things like people lack critical thinking skills these days. And that's a problem. It's funny because these people writing it are the example of those who lack critical thinking skills. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what the next step in your actions is? Like you do a thing. What happens next? They clearly don't know.

They don't think about it. They just think they're smarter than you. They read garbage, fake news, believe it. And then they say, how come none of these people believe the garbage that I believe? Oh, they must be stupid. I know. Let's censor information and manipulate the public opinion. These people are just not smart enough.

It's that quote. I always forget who the guy is, but he said something like, if the idea is that people aren't smart enough to govern themselves, so a smarter person needs to control them. What makes that person smarter than anybody else? Same problem. Well, in the old C.S. Lewis quote, I mean, he said, I'm butchering it, but he essentially said, I don't fear the tyrant who wants to torture me. I fear the tyrant who wants to do something for my own good.

And that's what the left is really doing because I think deep in their hearts, you hook them up to an EKG lie detector, they would tell you they're doing this for our own good. They're censoring this for our own good because we lack their critical thinking skills that they have in spades. And so that's what's so terrifying is because I think obviously there are some who are, you know, sadistic and just want to hurt people. But I think there is a large portion of the left that are truly doing this from, in their own perspective, a sense of justice or a sense of do-gooderism.

And that, to me, is so insidious because in their hearts, they think they are helping you by crushing your freedom. That's the low-level guys, in my opinion. I think there's sociopaths on top that are truly calling the shots. But that's an army of low-level guys. Bloomberg said, tax the poor. You guys remember this? In that video, he said, because they're too stupid, I'm paraphrasing, but too stupid to know what's good for them. So if we take their money from them and then tell them what they can buy, they'll be better off. Like when he taxed sugary drinks. Look, I think sugary drinks are really bad for you. Do I think people should be allowed to have them? Sure. The problem is a culture where people understand don't drink a liter of cola with your

burger. But Bloomberg's solution is no one should tax them, punish them for doing it. That's the dystopian, authoritarian ideology of these people. Now you see him and his ilk and how they take to the rest of these platforms. They think, you know what? I'm smarter than you, so I'll be in control. And the reality is they're not. They're not. And that's how they're not. They're not.

And that's how they would approach national divorce in my mind. They would say, we can't let them go their separate ways because we have to help them. They would just go harm themselves or harm others. I think there are a small percentage of people that need to be guided, that if they see two opposing views, that they'll'll fall for it but most a lot there's a huge amount of people that are discernible that can tell like you give me the hunter biden story and the evidence that shows not well they they those people i think actually wanted to to hide that story but i they did there was polls showing that it would it would have swayed and

impacted the election yes yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like 70%. Yeah, it was a decisive censorship. It would have changed our current political landscape. So this is the manipulation of public perception and support. The government going to big tech... Let me just... Come on, guys.

You know they're going to the media. I can tell you this definitively. How about this? I was in Antalya, Turkey, I think is the name of the city. Is that what it is? Someone want to look it up? It's like a Russian resort town, I guess. And I was there with the guys from Vice. We are hanging out at, they were doing a talk.

It was all these rich people. It was an organization called WPP. What is it like? Wire and Plastic Products, something like that. They own a major portion in all of these companies around the world. And the CEO of Vice explained how after they went to North Korea, they got a call from the State Department and they had a conversation.

They talked about all this stuff. I don't think he said any Shane said anything about them telling him what to report on. But they're they're in direct communication over the stories they're doing. And he said something like he told them, like, you talk to this guy in north korea because he was western educated there's like an opportunity so look man birds of a feather flock together rich and powerful it doesn't matter if you're in government doesn't matter if you run a big company powerful elites want to hang out with powerful elites that's why they have big conferences every year and they all hang out with each other in secret. You know, the story that we read in the beginning of today's broadcast, extremely important and

really should make people aware of the larger manipulation that the government is conducting behind the closed doors. But if they're doing this to big tech social media, what do you think they're doing to the corporate media? What do you think? I'll tell you. You may think your favorite reporter is actually a CIA agent or an FBI agent or the DHS. No, no, no, no. That's not how it works. The way it works is there will be a reporter, young, 24, fresh out of college, gets a job writing for like a blog and they're doing, you know, blog articles or something.

And all of a sudden they publish this big scoop. Their bosses are like, whoa, how'd you get this story? And so I have a source. Within a few years, they go from having only a few thousand followers on Twitter to reporting on major breaking stories about Russia, about social media manipulation, Russian disinformation, seemingly just dumping evidence appearing on MSNBC and these other channels. All of a sudden they say, look, we know that Donald Trump did this, that, and this,

fueling the Russiagate narrative. The reality is there's a young journalist who is stupid and government actors and agents say, hey, I'm going to be a source for you. Take a look at this story. And then the young journalist gets all excited. Whoa, this is a huge scoop. They go to their boss. I got a source in the government who just gave me this document. And they go, whoa, that's an official U.S. government document. How did you get that? I have a source.

How much money do you want? Next thing you know, they're being put on TV. They're getting a big salary bump. And they're major stars in news organizations. Why? Because government actors choose them to be their conduit for releasing the stories they want released. And it's not just like that. It's a lot more insidious, especially when you look at the 1975 church committee meetings that literally talked about how the intelligence agencies

were at the head of the major broadcasting companies deciding what stories they were going to cover and not cover. They were inside of the newsroom. There was another famous journalist award winning German reporter who worked for some of the biggest publications in the world, Udo of Keti, who came out and said, essentially, they would send me articles that I would just put my name on that they would write for me. I was essentially just regurgitating what the intelligence agencies wanted me to say. He died under, of course, mysterious circumstances. But again, this shows you that the government has the corporate media, and it's obvious. You look at their reporting, it's not reporting,

it's just an establishment press release. They're not reporting on anything. They're essentially trying to set up mind control in a way that works to their benefit. And that is clear as day when you watch the corporate media. It's not as clear on social media, but it's becoming clearer by the day, especially with the big reveal that we just found out about today when it came to the DHS. Hard segue. We got to talk about San Francisco and Paul Pelosi, because this one I was reading so much stuff about.

For those that aren't familiar, Nancy Pelosi's house was broken into. Paul Pelosi, your husband. It's like two in the morning or whatever. He's in his underwear. Some guy apparently breaks in. They get into a fight. Now, a whole lot of information comes out. Information is changing. Everybody's trying to figure out what's really going on. The first story was that like cops showed up and an unknown man let him in. And then they see, you know, Paul Pelosi's fighting over a hammer with this guy who then beats him. Then they arrest the guy. People are so.

So here's what breaks down to on the left. They say this guy posted QAnon conspiracy theories and he was a radicalized Trump supporter on the right. They're saying his house. And this is true, has a pride flag, a BLM flag and like a unite against hate sign in the window. And the neighbors say they were like hippie nudist hemp weaving leftists. So there's that story. The right that I'm seeing the memes is that the guy who attacked Paul was a gay prostitute. The glass on the door was broken from the inside. So the glass went outside and that Paul Pelosi called the police and said he was a friend. I think both of those stories go a little too far. I think it's fair to say we don't know exactly what happened. And it's probably what they're

saying about this guy being a Q cultist. I don't believe he was a registered Green Party guy. But before we get into it, I just want to say a couple of things. The reason why I think Paul Pelosi said he was a friend, if you listen to the police report, the 911 dispatch call, you wake up in the morning, some guy breaks in your house. He's not immediately attacking you. He says, where's Nancy? What do you do? Do you say, start screaming and swinging at him? What if you're 82? So the story apparently is that he went to his bathroom where his phone was and then called the police. My assumption is that he told the guy, oh yeah, yeah, don't worry. Just wait right here. Called the cops. I, I, you know, hey, there's a guy in my house. And the cop probably said, do you know who he is? And he goes, no. And they said, okay. And then Paul goes,

he's a friend. He's waiting for my wife. Because you've got a crazy guy sitting, you know what I'm saying? Crazy guy sitting in front of you. I don't think Paul said to the police on the phone, hi, I just want to let you know there's a guy I don't know in my house. And he's a friend. I'm waiting for my wife. I think the police asked him. He said, he probably said, hey and he's a friend waiting for my wife i think the police asked him he said he probably said hey there's a man in my house he's a friend he's waiting for my wife the cops probably said do you know this man he said no so that this guy didn't hear what he was saying i think that's entirely plausible why is the glass on the outside because the guy breaks it in and then pulls the glass out to reach in and get the door handle i don't know now i think the story is

not doesn't completely make sense this guy was a leftist so the story about him being a QAnon cultist doesn't seem to make sense. But I don't know. What do you guys think? Well, did the official police reports say that Paul called him a friend on the phone with the cop? Yes. I don't think ever, if there was a break-in, that you would tell the police your friend is over. If a crazy person broke into your house and started telling you, Ian, that you needed to help him right now to stop the gnomes who stole your spoons, would you be like, let me call the police and they'll get us on the phone? No.

No. I'd turn the fan on in the bathroom and be like, there's a psychopath in my living room. Maybe. I wouldn't lie to the cops if I needed their help. Lock the door to the bathroom. Close it there. There's also a couple things that make you kind of wonder what's going on here. The Pelosi's are some of the richest people in the world and some of the most powerful and influential people in the world that have had their home targeted before by political activists.

And they had no security. They had no security. They had no one. It was their decision that they they they intentionally like refused security. Yeah, that's what they're saying? Yes. That's absolutely just mind-boggling. Especially after the congressional leadership.

If you're doing something shady like they do in House of Cards, which, by the way, Bill Clinton said is 99% accurate, maybe then I would understand that. But there's also another thing that happened here, specifically with the political reporting that police told them that there was an unknown person that let them in political is now reporting that this is a baseless claim when they originally reported on it no no i want to say i want to say this guys all of this the whole story something doesn't add up that's clear as day right yeah it is a good point if he was able to go into his bathroom and close the door but where his phone was charging we don't know why. I mean... And where's the body cam footage? I mean...

But it's early, it's early, right? Here's what I want to say, though. I want to say this. I think the gay prostitute narrative is the trick, is a trick. Because once everyone starts posting memes about this crazy story about a leftist gay prostitute,

it makes any regular person be like, what? Get out of here. It's ridiculous. crazy story about a leftist gay prostitute it makes any regular person be like what yeah get out it's ridiculous a break-in sounds plausible they're trying to turn the story for about a break-in into a q anon far-right cultist so i don't know i don't know for sure wasn't the story that the guy that broke in was screaming about nancy like i'm where's nancy i want nancy that to me sounds like i found the guy's passport in the wreckage on 9-11 it fell out of the flaming ball of airplane and landed on the ground this proves that he was in the plane you're like what kind of psycho story is that passports don't fall out of burning explosive rubble like that uh and also they don't prove anything if they did and and

just just having someone tell me that a guy screamed something political is like, that just sounds like a red herring. Well, Cass Sunstein, Obama's disinformation czar, openly talked about how they need happened in New York City in order to, of course, send in more propaganda, more disinformation in order to confuse everyone and make everyone look bad who were legitimately asking questions. This is what I'm saying, right? The story can be something much simpler than people are making it out to be. It could be that Paul Pelosi was doing something embarrassing with a local guy who was a leftist maybe they were friends something bad happened and they're trying to cover it up there's two ways you do it the guy was a cute cultist and then you get the right to push the most absurd

story possible that no one would ever believe and here we go i'm seeing all the memes that are like paul pelosi's gay gay lover is trending and i'm like that's how they get you he was driving drunk a couple years a year ago or something and who was the guy who was with him when he was driving his car drunk? Oh, I don't know. Was there a guy with him? So here's my point. For all we know, this guy could have been delivering drugs. That's substantially more reasonable and plausible. If you

go to a regular person and say, do you think high profile members of the government do drugs? Yes! Do you think powerful CEOs and executives do drugs? Of course they do. It's like a movie trope. They're doing coke all the time. Do you think powerful CEOs and executives do drugs? Of course they do. It's like a movie trope. They're doing coke all the time. Do you think it's possible that a drug deal could go bad? A small one, like a guy's dropping off at two in the morning, some blow or something. That's happened. Okay. So do you think it's possible this could be something like that?

Yeah, maybe. But the guy was reportedly a Q cultist. I'm like, what do you think is more plausible? That one of the most secure places in the country, the third in line for the presidency, had no security, and a fringe conspiracy theorist was able to break in, and the government didn't know about it, or a dude was trying to buy some blow, and it went bad. Right. And to me, it's clear the social condition that's going on, everything the left does right now is blamed on, you know, know MAGA terrorism white supremacist terrorism they're trying to I mean if you any uh you know four-star general from the military or you know any corporate CEO you know whatever it is they're all going to tell you in a congressional hearing you know the

number one threat to America these days is MAGA terrorism white supremacist terrorism and again like I think if there's going to be an explanation for this incident, whatever it is, that's their go-to card. And I just think they're playing that card every single time because they're conditioning everyone to anticipate that eventuality. I do believe the likely scenario is kind of what you were saying, Tim, that it was like some sort of late-night rendezvous that got heated or something like that. And they probably knew each other. And it could be gay prostitution. I just think that is a more shocking and difficult to believe story. And it's really the worst case scenario that Paul is doing some blow

with some dude that got out of hand and then he grabbed a hammer, I guess. Like, get out. It's time for you to leave. And the guy's like, I'm not leaving, Paul. We're doing another line. And they were like, oh, no. There was something about a wellness check. Like the cops weren't even called

there originally due to the disturbance it was a wellness check on paul as part of his probation yeah i mean that was in the original recording was that they were they were called there on a wellness check was that from was that from when he got caught during drivings at the yes at 2 a.m at 2 a.m cool so hold on no double check me on this because that was that was the original the original story i heard was that the cops were there doing a wellness check. And then that escalated because the hammer didn't come out. In the original Politico article, they said that Paul was not attacked with the hammer until the police arrived. It wasn't like they broke up a hammer attack.

It's like the police showed up and then the struggle over the hammer ensued. That was what i heard so like this i got dispatcher heather grimes had sensed something was wrong with the situation and ordered officials to conduct an expedited wellness check on the home look at this the glass is broken it so the glass on both the outside and the inside people need to understand it i'm seeing a lot of people say the glass on the outside you can see the glass is clearly inside and outside yeah you kind of pulled it out as he was right right right right so i i know a dude who once kicked a glass window your foot his foot went through it because it was safety glass he could have pulled it out as he was breaking it open. Right, right, right. So I know a dude who once kicked a glass window. His foot went through it

because it was safety glass and when he pulled it out... He raked it out. Oh, jeez. I knew a guy did it with his arms and then he just shredded his arms. Do not yank your arms out if you go through a window.

Stay there and stay calm. Yep, but anyway, glass comes out the other side too. So this is true. They were conducting a wellness check. So they say, quote, what's going on?

Let me read. They say, Paul Pelosi managed to call 911 and alert the dispatcher to his dire situation without his eventual attacker even knowing. Pelosi, the husband, blah, blah, blah. The alleged attacker, David DePapi, didn't realize Pelosi had dialed his phone or understood that Pelosi was speaking in code. What's going on? Why are you here?

What are you going to do to me? Pelosi, Pelosi, Pelosi allegedly said in order to alert 911 to the emergency situation. See, so this wellness check wasn't random. That's what I thought happened. He didn't make a phone call and say, hello, there's a man in my house. I don't know him, but he's my friend. He was speaking in code. So the people don't believe this. There were tons of viral stories that have been around for a long time of women who order pizza and they'll say something. They'll call 911 and say, I'd like to order a large pepperoni pizza.

Ma'am, this is 911. Yes, I understand. Ma'am, you're calling 911. It's not a pizza place. Yes, I do understand. I would like to order a large pizza. And the dispatcher says, are you in danger, ma'am? Yes.

And is this someone threatening you at home? Yes. And they're like, OK, can you tell us what's going on? Are you in danger? I'm sorry. I don't know. And they and they'll go okay and then the police show up you like if you've got some crazy person standing in front of you and you down on 9-1-1 you can't go help police quick he's here because then you die or or you know i don't know i don't know it could be anything but i'll tell you this at the very least going for the most like circuitous story,

Paul Pelosi was having a secret gay rendezvous. It got out of hand. The police showed up. It's like, yeah, I don't believe that. I also don't believe the political propaganda. You can believe it if you want. I'm just saying, tell that to one of your normie friends and see how quickly they dismiss you and think you're insane.

Yeah. Stay away from non-factual proven things right now. That's why I'm always like, look, sometimes the conspiracies are true. Like the DHS story we have right here, we've long had this evidence. But if before these documents were released, even now it's probably hard. You go to someone and say, the government is colluding with big tech. We've got this from this lawsuit. People are going to be like, you're crazy.

Now we have the Intercept reporting, a leftist publication. It's still going to be hard because the story sounds so nuts. I'm just saying it may be true. You just got to be careful how you're presenting it because it sounds ridiculous. And it may be. And I recall the Andrew Gillum story. You know, that was Ron DeSantis's gubernatorial opponent in 2018 in Florida. And, you know, there was a story there where, you know, he was he was found, he was found in a drug-induced coma. Naked. Yeah, naked, having done all kinds of drugs with a gay escort. And if

the photographic evidence of that rendezvous didn't exist, that would all be dismissed as a right-wing conspiracy theory. That's why it's so important. And then the DHS and the FBI would go to big tech social media companies and be like, you've got to censor this right now and make sure no one talks about this. If they do, they get kicked off.

So it's plausible that right now the media is just trying to get their story straight. That they're just, that's why Politico is like country's near and reporting. Like they're just trying to get the narrative right. You know, they got, they say they got body camera footage, New York Post. They say it's in, it's called a police body cam. So release it. Yeah. So where is it?

But you know, they're going to, they're back. Well, you know, Paul's in his underwear and got to blur it out blur it out like andrew gillen i want to see i want to hear it more than anything right uh okay it's starting to sound a little less nefarious now that he called the cops spoken code that's exactly what i see when i when i heard the dispatch call and they said he says he doesn't know him but he's a a friend, you know, and he's waiting for his wife. And I saw everybody being like, why would he say he's his friend? And I'm like, it's like those pizza phone calls where the woman calls and says, like, you know, we want pizza. And they're calling 911.

He called in code. It's believable. I still think there's something really off about them not having security. It doesn't make sense. Right. And the initial report of a third person, they're saying, was a misunderstanding. Another person was there. Come on, come on dude like we have security and and we don't we're like one millionth of the value of the pelosi's like seriously yeah for real yeah yeah but like it's no sense to me yeah it was a conscious act by them to not have security present

that raises a lot of red flags or they had it and they're they're saying they didn't to facilitate a story they they just had the people in they're saying they didn't to facilitate a story. They just had the people in. They're like, don't worry about it. I know the guy. And then the guy's in there. We didn't even have security. I think if I was going to believe there was a conspiracy or anything, it'd probably be that it was a break-in.

Like the where's Nancy, where's Nancy stuff sounds way too much like the fake AOC story. Where is she? Where is she where is she shut up that never happened like i'm sure the cop walked and said where is she where is she she's in the bathroom uh ma'am you need to be evacuated and she's like they're coming to get me and then she lied about when it happened to make it seem like the january 6 rioters were coming for her when her story took place a full hour before the capitol was even breached well not in the Capitol, in the building. Not even

in the same building. I want to fire off some healing love to Paul. Recover from the head trauma, brother. Yeah, man, I hope he's okay. It's a crazy story regardless. I hope that'll make him run for political office anytime soon. He's had a rough year. I mean, just like baseline, he's had a rough year.

Self-inflicted rough year. Nancy,, just like at baseline, he's had a rough year. I mean, it's, you know, self-inflicted rough year. Nancy, too, this has got to be stressful. I would encourage you, Nancy, like you don't need to be there. I think that a lot of people that are in Congress, they feel like if they leave, they've failed. But at some point, you've got to take care of yourself and your family and let us take care of the rest because we're here for you. I think it's like the Bear Bryant situation.

I mean, he resisted retiring in Alabama because he figured if he retired, he would die, which he did six months later. Six months after he retired from coaching football, he was dead. I think a lot of these members of Congress, they're so old and ancient, they don't want to die. And they figure that, hey, if I go retire, then that'll be it. I'll be in the grave. Because purpose keeps you alive. That's right.

People who retire, I think retirement age is like the highest most likely time of death. Absolutely. They could keep working if they retire from Congress. Yeah, we shouldn't put humans in a position where they're 85 and feel like they can't stop being a representative. And their entire self-esteem and self-worth is wrapped up in that office itself. All right. I hope you guys are ready for some more bad news.

This story is from Politico. Biden bashes oil sector for war profiteering and warns of windfall tax on profits. You know what that means, right? If they put a tax on the profits for gas companies, what do you think is going to happen? The price of gas is going to go up. Yeah, the company was trying to make a high-sumer eat it. I'm going to punish them for price-gadging all of you by charging them more money so they'll be forced to increase the prices? Is that what you're saying?

Yeah, people need to understand gas is higher in some places than other places because of the gas tax of the government already taxing it the government could make gas lower by just not taxing it but now they're deciding we're just going to tax it even more which is absolutely ridiculous i've heard that oil companies have been maintaining record profits uh oil companies get been maintaining record profits. Oil companies get record profits amid global crisis. What does that mean? It's August 11th. What does that mean, record profits?

$55 billion this last quarter between BPX on Chevron Shell and... What about Apple? What about Apple? No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on. $55 billion in profit? Yeah.

Okay. I'm not a fan if they're raking in the profits at a time of crisis, but hold on. What was their total revenue? What was the gross revenue to profit? And then last year and the year before, I want to know their total profit to total gross revenue. You know why? Because of inflation? Yeah, right. So they could say it's a record profit. Yeah, because inflation is up 10%. So they got 5 billion more than they got last year. Does that mean the buying power of their profit

is the exact same, but the number is larger because biden's because of by inflation this uh from the guardian shows that exxon made second quarter profits 17.8 billion four times the year before so their their second quarter profits were four times uh in one year we did not have four times inflation i have a feeling that these companies are spiking the deal that they're taking advantage of it for sure. I see Biden begging them to lower their prices on Twitter, and they're just like, we don't have to. But it's not just these companies. It's also Saudi Arabia. It's also Russia. It's also a lot of other countries that produce oil.

Plus, Biden shut down Keystone and banned fracking on certain lands. So if he really wanted to get things down, he could be increasing competition and he's not. Absolutely. Yeah, if you really want to harm the energy companies, increase the domestic oil supply. And that's increased exploration, that's reduced regulations. If you want to make them have fewer profits, then increase competition.

Because if you add tax to the gas company taxes, you can't make them set their price. I mean, can you legally in the United States make a company set its price? That's very communist tactic. You can do that in Venezuela. Because it's a communist state. That's referred to as price fixing.

It wouldn't be legal. That's what they did to toilet paper in Venezuela. And that's why you can't get toilet paper in Venezuela. I don't know a whole lot about Brazil's politics, but seeing Lula win made me kind of worried. Because there's a lot of... I don't know, man. i don't know man i don't know enough about politics to to say too much it probably would not be fair for me to comment but bolsonaro's out he's out and i look at stuff like this and i'm like people were all like trump is

bad and then they vote for biden but it's like i'm gonna make your gas cost 10 times as much and here you go right well lula is another world Economic Forum member. So I'm sure Brazil is going to be protecting the globalist policies that, of course, are pushing the UN 2030 vision. Russia's all, let me sell you our gas through the Mediterranean. United States and United States is all, nah, nah, can't, nah, don't compute, nah. And Russia's like, yo, let's be trade partners. And they're like what like is this still people are afraid of communism like they're afraid and but russia is russia's not communist it's a federation and they're and the u.s seems to be buddy buddy with china at least in a lot of regards i should i should say democrats like biden are which is fine

i want to be trade partners with china and russia i think the three countries can run the world together you know and then we'll spread American republicanism, ideally. But they disagree with you. The Chinese Communist Party is worried about American republicanism, so they want to crush it. So what do you do? I saw a video out of Brazil. Yeah, it could have been fake, but I think it was multiple videos. I think I know what you're talking about. Yeah, it was a recording of a major prison in Brazil of the prisoners celebrating as they received the news that this Lula, whatever his name is, defeated Bolsonaro because they know that this guy is a left-wing radical.

He's a jailbreak justice type of guy. And they know that their sentences are about to become a lot lighter. There's allegedly a lot of gang members in the favelas shooting off guns and celebrating as well allegedly that's not a good sign not a good sign and he was charged with he was he was convicted of corruption or something it's like stealing millions of dollars amazing but look man that's

part of the course down there to be honest but not just that i mean even the united states you have people who will vote for john fetterman right his brain is is busted and i feel bad for the guy man but he's not all there and there are people who vote for him theetterman. Right. His brain is busted. And I feel bad for the guy, man, but he's not all there. And there are people who vote for him. The same thing is true of Joe Biden. There are people who hate you so much they would vote for a ham sandwich if it meant you suffered. That's a great point. And it also shows that the left, they view their political leaders as just merely vessels

for their ideology. You know, Joe Biden, I mean, Joe Biden's the commander-in-chief and everyone can see plain as day that he is mentally incapacitated. It doesn't matter. He's just, he's a vehicle. John Fetterman. I mean, he could be the ideal U.S. senator for the left.

He's just, you know, he's an empty vessel. He can, you know, he'll vote yay or nay the way they want to every single time. That's perfect for him. And that's just,

I think that's a hard pill for many to swallow is that that's where we are as a country. It's where our political system is. We have one party that in this cycle could potentially elect someone who is a walking VAERS report. Man, that's brutal, Fetterman.

And we can't talk about why he's in this condition, can we? Well, we should because he lived across the street from a steel mill. Well, but we can talk about it on the after show if you want to really get into it. Fair enough. But he had a stroke in May. And now he's... The timing of that was interesting. And he's unable to effectively communicate.

And they argue that it's just his auditory processes. But he clearly can't speak. And they lied about that. Dude, I watched an interview in his house. It's echoing, booming echoes in his house because it's just wide open. They have wooden floors. It's echoing, booming echoes in his house because it's just wide open. They have wooden floors. It's just constant sound just nailing him. He went, that sound messed that guy up.

He took the steel mill from across the street, breathing in all that carbon. Oh, man, John. Well, people in this country are willing to vote for, as you said, empty vessels. But I think it's not just that they're going to vote yay or nay as they want it. It's that they hold in their hearts the same level of hatred for you. Joe Biden going out on TV and saying the MAGA Republicans are an extremist threat. He hates you as much as all of his voters do. It's like their only policy is we hate you and we want you to suffer. That's it. Now, they'll argue that's what Republicans think. And there's probably a lot of Republicans that are, you know, probably do think that way. I don't know. I think Republicans are fairly bad in a lot of ways. But you sit down here and we talk with some of these various politicians and they will articulate their positions about why they want to do what they're doing. And then you take a look at the modern Democrat narrative and it's MAGA Republicans are evil. Right. It's like, well, when we talk about like child sex changes, we have very real, real concerns. We can easily articulate what's wrong

with it. They'll just say, but you're a racist. You're a bigot. You, you, you're transphobic, like not even give you an argument. They just don't like you. Exactly. And we on the right are so unprepared to deal with that ideology. They're not interested in debate. We, we wrap ourselves. I think we, we kind of make of make a lower G God out of our intellect, out of our ability to rationalize. Whereas the opposition, they don't care about that. No. All they care about is crushing you. And they don't care. That's the whole Ben Shapiro thing. Ben Shapiro will dazzle you with his intellect. But when you look, their feelings don't care

about your facts. So are you prepared to defeat that? More importantly, Ben Shapiro actively tries to have conversations with people he disagrees with and come to an understanding. And I respect that, but they don't care. Right. They don't care. They're going to vote for John Fetterman. Well, so I think the best example is we will invite them to sit down here and express themselves

and they will say no. Every single libertarian, traditional, disaffected liberal and conservative will say anytime, let me know when. But the Democrat left is nope, no dice. And even when I talk to them on the street, they'll be like, delete that. Delete that recording. You can't use it. It's like, bro, you're in public. You walked into my camera. That's not how works we've had we've had a couple so that happened to me i told i feel the story but we've actually had some instances for timcast.com where people are like i've changed my mind and it's like dude you said in public in front of everyone what you said like we you walk up to us we're filming it you can't come later but i revoke consent to being filmed i'm not sure if you guys saw it was a matt Walsh. He was doing a speech and he

this young trans. It was a man. I don't know what gender the person was, but they were trans and they were they were talking to Matt and like, I don't know what to do. You say these things. I'm upset and I don't want to put words in their mouths. You should watch the interview. It's great. And then Matt was like, I don't just I don't hate you. I love I want the best for you. I'm angry with these pharmaceutical companies selling medicines for profit that haven't been tested and telling people that they're safe. This is the test run. I care deeply.

You could see like he really cares about these people. That was an example of someone from the left expressing their emotions and someone from the right understanding and communicating in their language in an emotional way. But also displaying some facts about the pharmaceutical companies. Sure.

I saw that. That was very powerful. And, you know, it's a great example of, you know, the, you can't have an ultimately, you know,

quote, free market because that's a great example is these, you know, quote, gender transition, you know,

genital mutilation treatments. I say treatment. They're just barbaric procedures. In Arkansas, you know, we had a state law that was passed that would have outlawed them for minors. Our Republican governor vetoed that legislation. We overrode it. That's the rub.

You know, he is a, you know, Republican governor of a deep red state, an R plus 30 state. This is Arkansas. And the Republican governor vetoed the legislation. And, you know, that law got passed. It was overridden. We overrode his veto in the legislature. But that law, there was a big lawsuit, which is still ongoing.

And, you know, the plaintiffs in that lawsuit trying to stop the law from being implemented, it was, you know, all the medical associations, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Walmart, the Walmart Foundation, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Walmart, the Walmart Foundation, the Arkansas Chamber of Commerce, all these big entities, the globalists, for lack of a better term, they're against it. You can't say that word anymore now, remember?

Who said that? So there was, this actually is, I don't want to derail you though, if you want to finish your thought. No, no, that was really, we're powerless right now to stop that from happening, even in deep red states. And that's hard for us to swallow. They started this campaign, they actually started I think in like 2018, against Alex Jones, that globalist is anti-Semitic.

And then people are like, but what do I say to describe someone who wants a one world government? And they're like, you can't. It's anti-Semitic. It's like, what are you saying about Jewish people? Yeah, right. I say internationalists. There's nationalists and there's internationalists. Internationalists care more for international relations and community, and nationalists care more for their nation and country.

Name-calling in general is looked down upon. Don't slander someone calling them up. What else do you call a globalist than a globalist? It's not name-calling. It's not name-calling. general is looked down upon. Don't slander someone calling them up. What else do you call a globalist than a globalist? It's not name-calling. It's not name-calling. It's a description of an ideology. I think globalist is a good term.

I just use globalist. But name-calling people is like, eh. Let's talk culture war. We have this from the New York Post. Twitter to start charging $20 per month for verification under new owner Elon Musk. Are you going to pay, Tim? Yes. Oh, those are money bags. Tell me more. 20 Tim? Yes. Oh, Mr. Moneybags.

Tell me more. 20 bucks. I've talked about this a lot before. I think that verification should be literally for the purpose of verifying users. So you know who I am. So there's no impersonators. So that I can be like, this is my official account. Then Timcast News will also, by its verification, say this is the official account of Timcast News.

So that you don't follow the wrong account. It's easily there for you. And the other thing people don't realize is it's going to come with features. And I just think it's ultimately good that regular people can choose to sign up and then you know you're talking to a real person. It makes the platform way more valuable, in my opinion. Yeah. You want to put your money where your mouth is. And right now, Elon Musk and Twitter are promising some really amazing things to combat a lot of the nonsense that we're facing. If they backtrack on it, if the government defeats them, if Elon doesn't keep his promise, I'm canceling my $20 subscription. That's another way to vote with your dollar. And he also talked about, there's also

rumors right now that he might bring back Vine soon. He tweeted about it. That he's going to allow cryptocurrency on the platform and allow people to, of course, have end-to-end encryption. So he's promising a lot of good things that I think are interesting. So far, he's doing things that I think are good. I can't really criticize him. He hasn't done everything I wanted him to do, but it's too early,

but I'm going to be keeping an eye on it. Here's the best part. Many of the woke Twitterati, these journalists, they don't have 10,000 followers, 5,000, 20,000, but they're verified. Meanwhile, there were people like James O'Keefe.

They banned him and he had like a million something and he was not verified. Julian Assange, not verified. For these people, it's the only thing that makes them feel valuable or important. And Elon is going to rip it right out of their chests. And I want to see it. There are people that they're like, well, you know, I have a verified Twitter account with 5,000 followers.

And I'm like, oh, yeah, buddy. So does my dog. My dog's verified. These people build their self-worth off of getting verified on Twitter, working for these big institutions and being prestigious. And Elon Musk is going to

call him on, whip it right out from him. And then I'm going to laugh the whole time because they stake their value on a little stupid icon on a social media platform. Thanks, Elon. I went the other direction.

I am not verified. I have no interest in asking, but I will only become verified if they ask me to become verified. That's my goal with Twitter. Well, again, you're a free person. You can do whatever you want. And it's going to be interesting

because this is a way to fight against the pressure that Elon Musk is facing from Bill Gates, the Washington Post, and a lot of people in the establishment that are calling for an advertiser boycott. Now with this new system, yeah, boycott all you want. We don't care. We got people paying for the platform

if they want to use it. I'm going to be paying for it. I want to use it, especially if he keeps his promises. He doesn't, I'm going to boycott it. That was my plan up until Elon bought it was I'm never going to ask to be verified. If they come to me and they're like, okay, hey, come get verified, Ian.

I would do it. Now, this sounds like an upgrade of Twitter Blue. So this is just basically the paid version of Twitter. I kind of like it because if it offers a bunch of cool features like editing,

longer tweets, things like that. Longer videos. It might just be worth paying the 20 bucks for. In that case, I would maybe consider doing it and if it comes with verification,

then I'm open to it. There's talk of longer videos. Right. I do think though, you know, I guess inversely twitter needs to be paying its top accounts for producing content or just do some ad share or you know yeah just share some of that money you could pay them a percentage of the twitter blue income or yeah

right but based on like how many views do your tweets get or something like that it's always tough because then people will make inflammatory tweets maybe put legitimate fake news for the purpose of generating traffic but that's youtube right right so what do you do oh yeah yeah so would you police it or would you just have you know just kind of a true like free-for-all you allow the advertisers to advertise on who or what they want to if they're offended by someone you just simply give them the choice like okay i won't you cannot yeah you can't ever your your content won't be shown with this person's content he also elon also talked about having a platform where you decide your experience so you could go into a kid's version of twitter where of course everyone cares about your emotions everyone is there calling you by your pronoun and

your gender and then an adult version where people could actually have you know rational real conversations that don't need to play by certain rules a wild west and when you do that you open kind of the pathway of individuals to kind of determine their own experience which i think is awesome and great you could gamify the system i built a and then you can't say you can't have a person complain like i i can't i don't want to go on the kids playground then if you don't want to be in the adult section, go into the little playground pit here. On Mines, I built a gamification model

for Mines where you would basically get tokens for using the site. You could use these tokens to buy or to hire avatars that you'll send out on missions. And then every day you'll get a notification

throughout the day. If you click the notification, it's like, your hero found a sword if you're there. If you don't click the notification, he doesn't find find it so you'll be like it'll create generate attention for the site and then when they come back from their mission you get a trophy that goes in your profile so if you want to turn on gamification mode is there a play and then that'd be a good

way to integrate utility tokens well let me just invert invert that on you is there a dnd social media so but you could totally do that you could battle against friends and use tokens to empower abilities and stuff i would like like like it's it's basically a social media website but it's a dnd game and then dude you could augment react do augmented dnd twitter like you could look at your friend and like have a turn-based at game it'd be so fun i'd probably sign up for something like that it'd be wild and you could have it could be an overlay where you flip it on and then just turn it back off if you don't want it on. Or not. I'm just saying

like literally I bet someone's going to comment saying it exists but I'm saying like a website where you create a profile you friend people and your profile is also a leveling up character with notifications that like you can engage in scenarios and play games Yeah. That'd be fun. Hell yeah

That'd be a fun game like there's got to be something like that engage in scenarios and play games. Yeah. That'd be fun. Hell yeah. It'd be a fun game. Like it's, there's gotta be something like that. I don't know, but I don't know the models built. So if you want to implement it, Elon, let me know.

We just didn't have enough developers at minds to put it up. It's like a, it's like a social media MMO. Yeah. You know? Yeah. That'd be fun. It's a good token sink.

Cause the thing about utility tokens and giving them out as you're making them, you need a way to, to deflate the currency. So it's a good way for people to put tokens back into the system right kids version what is it russell brand gave your iword tweet props yesterday on his youtube segment i just started tweeting words like none of those broke the rules i was like i said can i tweet naughty words now when elon bought would finally close the deal as i started tweeting words that are questionable like i guess

for twitter's rules or something but it's like you can basically tweet most words without actually getting in trouble on youtube i mean i mean on twitter that's how most of these platforms work anyway have you seen more engagement in the past week or so well i gained a bunch of followers yeah i guess people are coming back too i did as a spike too. I did as well, yep. Without tweeting very much, so. Yep. Yeah, I just think what happened with Twitter is that when they realized journalists were using it, that was their core user base, started pandering to them.

It's their echo chamber. It's how stories are generated. The reason, so Twitter talked about removing follower counts, retweet counts, and making verification for everybody, and they just decided not to do it. And the reason? Because the journalists like the gamified retweet counts, like bragging about their follower counts, and they like the fact that the verification badge is a status symbol that's granted to you, like knighthood. So they would never give up on it. I think if Elon Musk strips all that away, here's what I say. Elon should remove follower counts, remove retweet counts, put all those analytics behind

the scenes. You can find someone's profile. You don't know how many followers they have. You can follow them if you want. You can see how many followers you have. The public doesn't see it. You tweet something out. They can retweet it if they want.

No one can see how many retweets it has. Why? Why is the retweet icon got a number on it? What's the point of that? It's for the user can use that number to inflate their own value if they want to get. You can see it behind the scenes. Why is it being shown? You're right.

You could. Yeah, you don't need to be public. It's not like I saw your tweet and need to know that it was also a part of, you know, 10,000 other accounts broadcast. It makes no sense. It's a it's a It's a value symbol. The same thing with ratios. Twitter intentionally built the system for the quote-unquote ratio. There's no reason to show me a number of replies. Just show me the replies.

Unless you want drama. Unless you want to see who got ratioed. Unless you want to start controversy. And I think these organizations have been doing that deliberately. They have been pushing, I think, a divide and conquer agenda that makes people hate each other and fight each other based on trivial differences that don't really matter in our lives. And I think at the end of the day, it wasn't an accident.

I think the FBI, DHS is like, hey, we got to make sure that these people fight each other so they don't really see what's really happening to them. And that's a perfect way of doing that. And now we have the proof. The government has been controlling the big tech social media companies.

So it's fair to assert right now that they are the ones pushing for ratios, pushing for hatred, pushing for all the divisiveness and all the drama that, of course, captivates big tech social media. I just hope Elon's ready for the storm. I mean, it's just beginning. I mean, they're not going to let him just purchase a piece of the cathedral, as you said the other day. I mean, he's got a piece of it now. And they're not just going to let that go quietly.

You can't hold it. It's like the one ring. You need to disperse it. Melt it into dust. Elon knows who Michael Malice is. He needs to call up Michael and say, let's talk. Michael needs to start advising him on how to deal with a lot of this stuff. Yes.

Decentralize the algorithm. You want all this stuff out of your own hands, Elon. You don't want to hold people's passwords. You don't want to hold people's names and addresses and stuff like that. Get an email verification. Keep it as baseline as possible and get that stuff out. Well, I'll go into more detail later. I think he's going to try and turn it into X.com, right?

He made X Holdings to acquire it. Into PayPal. Right. He wants to make it the one app for everything, like WeChat. The American WeChat. And that's kind of scary if you think about it. Look, there's a lot of good things coming from Elon, but I don't completely trust him.

He's got business dealings in China. This isn't necessarily going to be a good thing. If we end up using Twitter, think about how bad Twitter is with censorship. And we're hoping Elon fixes it. It's still bad. Viva Fry got suspended for tweeting about the Paul Pelosi thing, which is BS. Imagine you start using that for your payment processing and for everything, and the censorship never gets fixed.

So I'm not entirely confident. It's like he's in a position like George Washington was after the revolution where he's the, now he's the president and they want him to become king. People will be like, hey, just you be the one in charge. Don't do it, dude. You got to give up the power. He's got a part in the political prisoners. He has to unban a lot of these people. But how is he going to deal with the Department of Homeland Security breathing down his neck being like, no, you're not.

When so much of his businesses are dependent on government contracts. Yep. SpaceX especially. They're going to come after him. They're going to punish him. Sure. All the satellites that they're building. Sure.

All the tech that they're building. His kind of dalliance with transhumanism is concerning as well. Neuralink and his business in China know it's not a good guy he's skeptical of everyone obviously but when it comes to the battle of ideas he is he is proposing amazing ideas important ideas that no one else is and they're crucially important for our uh existence right now agreed so his battles against Gates, his battles against depopulation, his battles against the real things that are coming and are going to be hurting humanity, I think are important. And I'm still not 100% convinced.

I'm still skeptical of him. But I think so far, he's one of the best things we have right now when it comes to ensuring freedom of speech. No human can handle that responsibility, though. You need to disperse the— A robot, you're right. It should be an automated system. Like a department of Homeland Security, right?

Like a big federal government that knows— Government bureaucrats sitting in offices deciding what people can and cannot do, right? No, no, no. A system where everybody holds their own private keys and can log in with their own private data and log out. And there's no central repository of data that the DHS can go after. You just say, because I can't give you the info because I don't have it. I never did.

That's the point. If you have it, they would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com.

Okay. Alex, come on the show. It's always a good show with Alex Jones.

We have a skit when it comes to our Alex Jones's right jar. Yeah, we want to do it. You want to do a Cass Castle vlog thing with Alex. Yeah, it'd be super cool. All right. Salty Duckling says, what are your thoughts on the Chris Rose arrest in Florida?

He was protesting an illegal 2A infringement by the DeSantis campaign with GOA Florida director Louis Valdez. DeSantis is slowly showing how much of a neocon tyrant he truly is. Benedict Arnold too. I don't know anything about it. What happened?

Do you know, Luke? I haven't heard. You guys heard anything about it? I'm going to look into it now, but thank you for letting us know. Christopher Rose was the guy's name? Yeah, Chris Rose. All right. Dominic Camerata says, hey, Tim, my brother doesn't believe

the left doesn't run every institution. Can you please do a clip worthy response as how they do? It's not really the kind of content I make. I do opinion and commentary and news analysis. So doing like a deep dive documentary on the left control of institutions isn't really the kind of content i make you know i do opinion and commentary and news analysis so doing like a deep dive documentary on the left control of institutions isn't something i would do i don't know who would be a good person for that are you asking me anybody just anyone okay any recommendations

no idea no idea all right let's see trey hudspeth says luke where the hoo-hahs it doesn't matter if you talk about civil war i'm drinking tonight it's halloween yeah hard to you the hoo-hahs are with everyone you know william nichols says i stumbled on taylor lorenz doing a live stream on tiktok tonight i said who is this old broad and she blocked me well you know there you go a penna nicola says happy halloween tim and crew watched quote kill all others episode last night honestly you hyped it too much it wound up being more about the aliens than anything else the conclusion underwhelming i don't know i thought it was still great i don't know what you mean some of those black mirrors are all over the place well this is this is electric dreams oh

yeah yeah i thought it was crazy. I thought it was good. All right, all right. Where are we at? D Stuff says, Arkansas resident here. Excited to see Jake on the show. Voted for him in the primaries

to get rid of the Rhino Bozeman. Hope to be able to vote for him again in the future. Good luck, Jake. Absolutely. What was that like running? Go Hogs. It was a battle. I mean, it was my first campaign. Obviously, jumped off the high dive taking on an incumbent U.S.

senator. It's hard to take on incumbents these days. You know, the establishment is so powerful. They, I mean, it was the most expensive primary in Arkansas political history. Bozeman spent about $12 million against me. I raised about $12 million. Yeah, between him and his pack. And I mean. It was really funny. I'm sure this... What was the commenter's name? I'm sure he saw the TV ads. Since I was a new candidate, low name

ID, their strategy was to paint me as a Democrat in disguise. Don't know me that well, but that's one thing I'm not. They ran these ads with my face in between Nancy Pelosi and AOC as fake Jake, the liberal who's going to defeat Donald Trump's America First agenda. But that's how politics works.

They just took an undefined candidate, and with their war chest, that's how they defined me. And that created enough doubt in people's mind that we fell short of forcing their runoff. So it was a great learning experience. It was hopefully a first step, and we'll see what happens. Would you do anything different if you were going to do it again? I'm not sure that defeating an incumbent is possible in the Senate anymore. I wouldn't change a thing in terms of the campaign. I took bold positions.

I think that I moved the needle, forced Bozeman to take some tough votes in the Senate that he did not want to do. He voted against the first $40 billion of Ukraine aid. He's been an establishment student his entire career, but right before the primary was that first vote, and he voted no. I was very proud of that. I mean, he only did that. I mean, there were like four or five other senators,

and Bozeman was not part of that crew. So the only thing that I would possibly reevaluate is taking on an incumbent. I salute those who do, but unless you have a dead body in your trunk and you're an incumbent, you're going to win reelection. It's just they have too much money, they're too powerful, and, you know, it's tough. All right, Baseman619 says, Paul had just finished his third glass of wine when the door rang. He's here.

Paul excitedly spritzed a bit of Nancy's obsession onto his neck as he licked his lips and grabbed the hammer as he headed to the door. Too soon! Sounds like he was there. That was worth the $30. Thanks, basement. We have the best commenters. I'm in the chat the whole show reading almost all of them.

You guys are incredible. Check us off. Kalashnikov says the reason the right doesn't protest isn't cultural. It's systematic oppression. Social media repeatedly censors right-wing gatherings along with the barrage of media smears and military adversity. Yeah. I think that the definition, like protests have changed to online now.

If you make an internet YouTube channel and you get 100,000 views, that's a big protest. You're able to protest things with your voice and the people will listen and change. And you don't have to stress out the militants by gathering tons of people, because that's when they start to get really concerned is when there's large groups. Jason Take says, on the Joe Rogan show, Vijaya's smug answer to you about the government being comfortable about Twitter's actions make a lot more sense now. That's right.

Tina Collette says, try to share this live feed to my Facebook page it kept trying to share your Will of the People music video instead that's a weird YouTube glitch where it shows the graphic from it instead I think so maybe it was working but it was showing the wrong graphic I don't know many people also notice that when

we launch the live streams there's no thumbnails often it's just like a gray block what's up with that? Who knows? Yeah. But then when people are scrolling through YouTube, they see a gray block and they don't realize it's the show

and then they don't, you know, they ignore it. Or people are like, I can't find it. How do I find it? And it's like, it's the gray block because they're not putting our thumbnail up. Very weird, huh? How about that? I got a notification today, which is good,

but I mean, that's the first one in a couple weeks so perry lc says usa out of diesel coming november 21st 2022 oh i'm excited for that what we're down to 21 days someone someone want to google us diesel supply just to make sure because i know we were at 25 days but they replenish it it's not like it just goes down in 25 days and then just disappears sure it's if if supply stopped there would be 25 days until it's gone yeah that's still absolutely insane it's the worst diesel stops everything stops especially farming like that is super dangerous people don't understand it's not just gasoline fueling this country it's diesel i think this members only segment is going to be particularly lit because i've been watching a bunch of stuff over the weekend plus some of the stuff we were talking

about so sign up at timcast.com for the members show yeah did you did you look it up yeah i'm reading about it what does it say how much is left 21 25 26 million barrels they usually have a number they have a chart that shows there's a chart that shows how many days in the supplier left okay this might take me some time well see if you can find it let's read some more john stewart says ten dollars more for the alex jones was right jar we actually have a lot of money in that jar yeah yeah but but like i i don't know why people just put money in it you know like whether or not they're listening to alex jones they just put money in it oh let's grab some more super chats michael mLeod says, can we impeach Biden now? Harris be damned.

The regime has got to go. When the Republicans win, maybe you'll get some support, some for impeachment. I doubt half the Republicans would sign on for it, though. Half would be for half would be against it. I'm from News Talk KGVO.com. Yeah, 25 days of supply, of diesel supply. You were asking for something specific about a change in that? Well, anyway, it looks like we're about 25 days.

25? Yeah. That's where we've been, yeah. Douglas Kaplan with a very big super jet. Thank you very much. He says, Tim, I have to ask this. Earlier today, I got a message claiming to be you. I have to know, was that really you posting to me in that one YouTube message you took on Telegram?

I said about Luke talking about the dust from Bill Gates thing, and I made a reference to Bible revelation and the sun shining through a sky like, like sad cloth. If anybody is messaging you claiming to be me,

it's a scam bot. That's just it. It's a scam bot. There's like scam bots that post crypto scams with my avatar on on youtube and stuff yeah everywhere it's crazy they don't crack down on those but but you you dare talk about some vitamins oh it's the end of you if the account isn't verified then look all my youtube accounts are verified and my twitter is verified my instagram is verified that's the point of verification so safety and happiness says salty tears tsunami alert well okay i'm listening

leaf hagan says why did hillary let benghazi happen then blame it on and even jailed the guy for posting a film online why did pelosi let january 6 happen, then use it as an excuse to silence Trump and remove Parler? I don't know. Good questions. Cultural Abduction says, Timmy, do you think the Twitter story is the biggest October surprise ever? Yeah. I mean, look, we've got hard confirmation the U.S. government

is colluding to manipulate and manufacture public opinion. That is massive. That is insane. It's huge. It's like real deep state. Yeah, I mean, is insane it's huge it's like real deep state yeah i mean there you go and they're like deep state doesn't exist you're gonna be like here's a story from the intercept a progressive left-leaning publication yeah and it's this lawsuit from missouri's is it really interesting man all right a pen and nicola says basically tim my gripe with electric dreams episode is that

you made it sound like a twilight zone thriller but it wasn't nearly as interesting ah I think so maybe you didn't like it that's fine

you're not you know we aren't like the same things it is what it is I think people should watch it you guys watch it yet loop nope I have what are you

kill all others okay yes interesting show you got to make it. You got to watch Electric Dreams on Amazon Prime. The episode is called Kill All Others. Okay. It's an interesting show. You got to check it out. All right. All right. None of Business says, Ian, LavaBits SSL keys were used for transport encryption, not message encryption.

They could still be used to decrypt incoming mail without PGP. Interesting. Some of those words went over my head, but that does explain that it wasn't direct messaging to messaging SSL keys. Thank you. Patriot American says, Jake, the right is split into four factions. One,

the old right to paleo cons, three neocons, and for the new right and the libertarians, we need to bring all the anti-establishment supporters from all factions together. If we are going to win this, I think we need international community support as well. It does not stop at the end of the American border.

We need everybody on board. What do you mean by that? Like we need global support, just like the Americans couldn't win the revolution without the French. We can't do this without the world's support. We need all of these, all the anti-establishment force from all these other countries to come together to form a coalition to compete against those who are trying to form this international coalition. You know what I'm saying? Right. You know what I mean?

Like in a parallel economy, is that what you're saying? Yeah. Multiple parallel economies. I think that there's this mindset of like, if you're not with us, you're against us kind of mindset. That's not true. You can be parallel of you without being with or for or against. Let's grab more super chats.

Ian Kinney says, Obama through the NDAA got rid of the Smith-Mund Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987, which prevented the U.S. government from using propaganda on the American public. Wow. Yeah, people talk about that quite a bit, huh?

Dryden 54 says, it's here. The establishment is so desperate, it's telling on itself never before have they been as dangerous as they are right now keep an eye out for a 9-11 size distraction trumps arrest mushroom clouds ears and eyes open desperation is a is it is a what's the word pungent perfume right i like that yeah pungent salt miner says hey tim so glad you brought jake on i'm a huge hog fan and just wanted to say i love watching you play we are in dark times and we are going to need more people like all of you

in the coming days thank you razorback fans are the best and we didn't talk about the nfl much but what was the greatest play of your life? Greatest play. So it probably happened in college. Yeah, you got your Super Bowl ring. Yeah, Super Bowl ring. For those who haven't seen this, very subtle piece of jewelry here. Massive. That's why I never wear it. But it was great for the campaign.

You've seen that thing? Yeah, this is cool. Yeah. I was like, I want to check it out again. Get an earring out of it. Yeah, when I was in college, probably the play I'm best known for, my senior year against South Carolina, came on a blindside sack and

literally knocked the quarterback unconscious. He fumbled the ball, scored the next play, kind of ended the game. Wow. Yeah, that was I let off my campaign launch video with that hit, just to kind of set the tone. I'll do that in the U.S. Senate. There you go. Cool. Yeah. Super Bowl ring.

Yeah. Rob says ring. Yeah. Rob says, I sold all my Bitcoin and bought Doge a month ago. So far, have doubled my money. Wow. Doge has been spiking. Not financial advice.

What was the catalyst? I mean, Elon, I think. Yeah. Okay, Elon. Elon might integrate it with Twitter. Is he really?

He might. You don't know. You never know. It's up 116% in the last week. I have 46 Doge. I just cannot take it seriously. It's not based on anything. It's just a...

Well, I mean, you can make it your utility token. You can look it up. So there was some Goldman trader who literally retired off of Doge speculation. He saw what was coming, and he put a couple million to Doge at one penny and then sold it at maybe a dollar or whatever like maybe 60 whatever the peak he sold out the peak and made you know nine figures wow i think it was like 14 cents at one point it's what is it right now 1.2 cents yeah i think it was up to i don't remember yeah last week it was

seven cents now it's 12 yeah i think it hit in the mid 60s 12 cents 12 yeah right now it's a 12 that was the peak yeah yeah and you know what's funny is like you'd think that because we're in the news we would be really good at these trades because like we're sitting here going like oh look you know elon there's rumors of him integrating doge and now doge is you know value is spiking and then we just don't do anything we don't buy any doge and then a week goes by and they're like oh yeah i doubled my money on doge and it's like how are we the ones doing the show and not capitalizing some crazy dudes put like all their money into that kind of thing that that gamble the highest it's ever been is 63 cents right that was a year and a half ago that's crazy wow it went from like it went from nine thousandth

of a cent to 60 cents how many doge are created each year? That's the question. A lot. Yeah. It's like 2%, I think. There's 132 billion in supply right now. And the maximum supply... Oh, is it at its maximum? There is no max. It can be printed infinitely. It's supposed to be inflationary currency. Yeah, it's not. There's no value to it.

The value is what you want it to be. The idea of it was that the money supply would expand. Whereas with the other cryptos like well like bitcoin it's eventually going to stop right the idea with with doge is that it can be used as cash because it just goes up two percent every year something it's a meme coin yeah literally yeah i mean i bought like it could work 100 bucks when i first came out like 2013 and then that computer got stolen in my car imagine my shock when it was 67 cents and i couldn't cash out on that. I'm watching the price change in real time

as we're talking about it. Oh, wow. Harrison Bonner says, Luke, fellow New Hampshire and freedom lover here, but currently stuck behind the Iron Curtain in MA. Oh, no. Thanks for all that you and the crew at TimCast do. Would love to buy you a beer someday

or, if we're lucky, another Louis. Oh, man. Louis was fun. We packed open some louis 13 when the elon closed the deal oh wow yeah very expensive i had that one time at the uh the patriots rookie dinner that was a highlight every season uh in the nfl some teams stopped doing it the patriots still did it because brady was very into it um every year one road trip um the veterans would make all like take all the rookies out to dinner and give us the tab and i think it was like thirty four thousand dollars wow and so yeah we had all the cognac all the bottles of wine i mean and the rookies had to pay for it and the

rookies paid the tab and we divided it up based on signing bonus so i was a third round pick so my i think my my cut was like two grand. Wow. We had two first-round picks. I think theirs was like $10,000 or $12,000 for one dinner. But yeah, the tab was like $34,000. Is that including Tim?

That's including Tim. For the entire team? For the entire team. Well, yeah, most of the team went out. And Brady, I mean, this guy's worth nine figures. And he was the ringleader. He was ordering everything. He loved sticking it to the young guys. Why? Did he get it stuck to him when he was he was the ringleader he was like you know ordering everything and just i mean he loved like sticking to the young guys why did he get it stuck to him when

he was a rookie i'm sure this was like ptsd from like his rookie dinner nine figure salary you're gonna make the the low guy pay for it i'm too much of a of a commie to to allow something like that it's commitment well they're making so much money like i mean imagine is that the purpose is like exactly it's just kind of a it's a, it's a hazing thing, you know, in a, you know, not like sadistic way. And it was fun.

I mean, we got a good story out of it. Like, when else am I going to drink Louis XIII Cognac? Was it good? It was very good. It was, it was,

it was strikingly good. We have some. You're owed a small bit for the celebration. Yeah, we should have some right now in celebration of the DHS leaks that came out. And finally, we're finding out

Do you want to celebrate that? Yeah, we find out what happened. We're finally, you know, Uncovering, yes. Everything I've been screaming about for years came true. Drink. You're going to get a phone call

from a friend like, Luke, I'm sorry. I was wrong. It's not a private corporation. Brian Lewis says, Hey, Tim, we have less than 20 days with the diesel. Is the government holding us hostage to vote blue, or is this career suicide?

Less than 20? Is that where we're at? Because that's what some other people were saying, too. Two days ago, it was 25, according to one source. But that could have changed in two days. I think we can turn plastic into diesel, and we should start doing that locally. We should go fill the truck up with diesel. How long does

diesel stay good? I already did that and filled up my tanks and then back up tanks. Does it evaporate? I did that in Florida too right before there was an infrastructure attack. But it could last, depends, a few months, I think six months.

Really? Around there. Yeah, but after six months, what do you do? Use it. No, but I mean like if it's gone bad and it's in your truck, you can't drive it, can you? Well, I don't know. I'm not a diesel expert. Yeah, this is six to 12 months. Then it gets gummy. Yeah.

Oh, no. How do you rejuvenate old diesel? Pour 50 gallons of old diesel into the 50-gallon drum. Measure three ounces of PRDD or 280 yeah it's probably like additive yeah reconditioner all right all right james cutbirth says justice department is busy arresting parents as domestic terrorists while china claims 230 000 suspects in u.s were successfully persuaded to return to china from April 2021 to October 2022. Wow.

Suspects. Crazy. Pinochet's helicopter tour says, When I'm weaker than you, I ask for freedom because that is according to your principles. When I'm stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles. Frank Herbert. That's right. I love that guy's name, Pinochet's helicopter tours.

I was in Chile, and it's so fresh in the memory Pinochet was like this autocratic dictator that would take people on helicopters and drop his political or people he didn't like out of hell

like they just had black helicopters and people go up they never come back they would drop them into the ocean and stuff pretty dark dark but I like the name

Chile's beautiful it's so amazing Viña del Mar have you ever been there no I didn't leave Santiago I went to see the capital building where Pinochet killed himself wait no no it was the guy Chile's beautiful. It's so amazing. Viña del Mar. Have you ever been there? No. Incredible city. I went to see the Capitol building where Pinochet killed himself. Wait, no, no.

It was the guy right before Pinochet that killed himself in quotes. He was there. And then they were like, what was that guy's name? Valparaiso is also really, really an incredible city. I love spending time down there. I almost moved to Chile. Me too. I literally was this close from living in Chile forever. Yeah. Why didn't you? It's it was all like i was like if i'm gonna miss this flight i'm not

i'm just gonna live here the flight the flight was delayed and i and i waited and i did everything and i was like whatever the the rental car was late there there was a long line there was you know problems there was a long security check and i'm like this is a sign i gotta live here and then and then and then and then i walked in like 40 minutes late to the plane and the plane's delayed i'm like this is a sign that means i have to go back oh i just take it that way i was waiting for you yeah literally because yeah not for me but there was just a technical you know the federalities are everywhere it's all federal government there's no local cops so like you got feds on every not on every corner but if you make a mistake in one area of chile you make a mistake in every area i just loved

valparaiso because it was like a fishing town and it was kind of bohemian but it was kind of free it was it was it was like a san francisco without the state dude people would talk so highly about paris so well yeah i loved it there it was was incredible. Very narrow country. Yeah. Very narrow. What's the width mile-wise? I'm not sure, but... A lot of coastline. Yeah. A lot of coastline. A lot of coastline.

I had an idea that they could, because they're like, we need more Chile. They want to make the size bigger. So I was like, you can tap the volcanoes with a sieve, get the lava to flow down to the ocean and to create more land,

like cool into the water, and then you grow Chile out. Or, here's an idea, give guns to your people and then just take the land from somewhere else. That's been done before. I had a Chilean girlfriend there. Me too.

I was just, I was a month in there and I'm like, this is amazing. It's amazing. I found a hidden little community that was in the woods. A lot of German speakers. No, no, that's amazing. I found a hidden little community that was in the woods. A lot of German speakers. No, no, that's Argentina.

Argentina. Argentina. All right. Let's read some more. Cain Abel says, Tim, are you and Luke using Ian to speak in code because the FBI told you not to report the facts and truth of the matter of the Pelosi? Ian is actually making more sense here.

Well, you know, sometimes Ian rolls 20s. Yeah, that's right. He's rolling a 20. I'm choosing to speak code on my own. That's right. And code that no one understands. Only Ian. Beat Borp.

Beat Borp. All right. Shlongathan McTwinkletwot, good name, says, question for Luke. How do you feel about regime libertarians actively ruining the ideology? Yeah. My favorite meme is, like, the two people fighting and then the one person, you know, with the bong laughing.

And it's, like, libertarian fighting a libertarian with the libertarian laughing at the libertarians fighting each other. I do believe there's a lot of, you know, a COINTELPRO kind of like behavior inside the Libertarian Party that has kind of made it the larger joke that it is. The candidates that they had

within the last few years were just utter jokes. You had the Ghazi guy. You had the Black Lives Matter woman. It was just ridiculous. And again, we shouldn't be prioritizing a lot of this nonsense. We shouldn't try to placate Black Lives Matter or the national security state. We should just be

promoting personal responsibility, just having people that are going to be the strongest, best versions of themselves. If we just focused on you being the best version of yourself, health-wise, physically, mentally, spiritually, man, would that party take off because there wouldn't be a need for the party. And that's essentially what libertarianism is, according to my own opinion. All right. EW says, Ian, Exxon made more profit last year than in 2021 than in 2020 because COVID killed demand and oil companies took a loss in 2020 because of

it pay attention to why it happened and how the narrative is framed please wow interesting good news so it's four times only because it's dropped right well let's dig into that that's what i was saying right it's a record profits and it's like is it inflation related so i guess the best comp is what 2019 that'd be you know pre-pand Yeah, the best years of our lives. I think they were saying that. Yeah, let's see that comp. All right, here's a good one. Where is this? Michael Crotow says, quote,

a media infrastructure that is accountable is the opposite of a free press. Accountable to who? They, the press, to be accountable to the state. They want state media. They want propaganda. Yep, that's right. All right, we'll grab just, we'll grab state media. They want propaganda. Yep. That's right. All right. We'll grab

one more. Here we go. But they should be accountable to the viewer. Eric Mercone says, Tom Brady was the only player in sportball history to take a $60 million pay cut so the team could hire better players. That's actually a great point. So one reason for the Pat's success over the years was

that Brady played for a substantially sub-market contract. He was the best quarterback in the game, whereas other QBs like Joe Flacco or Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, whoever, they take these massive contracts that cut into the salary cap. Because the NFL, unlike the Major League Baseball or the NBA, there's a hard salary cap. So each team can only spend a certain amount of money.

When your QB1 is taking up a $30 million per year cap hit, that really hamstrings the rest of your roster in terms of talent acquisition. So Brady, he played for, I think, an average of like $8 to $10 million a year when he was worth $30. It helps when your wife is independently wealthy, so it wasn't like he was missing any meals. But also, at a certain point, it's like you're worth millions and millions of dollars.

So it is legit that he's doing it, but it's a lot different from someone who makes like 100K being like, I'm going to go down to 60. It's like, man, you're really hurting yourself on this one, you know? True. But it's cool. It's cool. It was to the benefit of the team.

And there's a counterargument. So the NFL Players Association had a lot of beef with that because ultimately what the NFL Players Union wants is to eliminate the NFL salary cap. And the best way to do that is to make – because there's, I mean, not to get too deep into this, but there's a divide amongst NFL owners. There are some NFL owners, like the super wealthy ones like Jerry Jones, who want to get rid of the salary cap so they can be like the New York Yankees

and spend $400 million a year to get the best players. There are other owners who are cheaper who like the salary cap because it keeps costs down. So when someone like Tom Brady plays for a sub-market deal, he's in effect helping the owners who want the hard salary cap because that overall depresses the market value for quarterbacks. So in a way, yes, he was helping the Patriots. In another school of thought, he was hurting the rest of the league in terms of the players because he was artificially depressing NFL salaries. You think they should keep the salary cap?

I don't think so. I think the best system, I think baseball has the best system in a lot of ways because it lets teams like the Yankees or Dodgers or Red Sox spend whatever they want to spend to get the best players. And that obviously enhances the market for players. You know, it increases their salaries because there's a pure competitive environment. I think it's a freer market. Some would say that that hurts competition, but that's BS because the Rays have won the World Series, the Astros. These are low-spending teams.

They do more with less while letting the higher-cap teams spend unlimited amounts of money, so it helps everyone. That's what Moneyball was about, the movie. Correct. The Oakland A's, they were one of those lower spending teams. And, you know, Brad Pitt's character in the movie, Billy Bean, you know, he devised this or he used this, you know, system, sabermetrics to try to identify better, cheaper players.
