This is the weirdest thing. This report comes out from NBC claiming that Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, answered the door for the cops. And then he calmly walked back to the crazy dude who told the police everything's fine. Then the crazy dude cracks him over the head with a hammer. NBC then deletes the video, resulting in everyone being like, yo, what's going on with this? The story keeps changing and no one can tell us

what really happened. So, of course, no one believes it. We're going to talk about that. And then we got to talk more about Elon Musk because apparently that's the only thing that happened for the past two weeks.

Elon got rid of his transparency, accountability, the moderation team members, and the entire curation team. Fired half the staff, locked them out. We got the emails. It's just absolutely nuts. Now there was like a lawsuit they filed against them.

All right, this one's getting interesting. Elon's tweeting up a storm saying they're trying to destroy the company even though nothing's changed. They're still moderating hate speech, but tons of advertisers are pulling up. They're losing $4 million per day. So that's why I fired people. The funny thing is all these woke activists who are complaining caused advertisers to freak out, cause Twitter to lose money and cost them their jobs. I'd like to give a slow clap to you guys because you did it to yourselves. And now they're complaining like, why am I getting fired? Because you gutted your own

company's revenue. How about that? We're going to talk about all of that, my friends. But first, here's what we got to do. If you go over to Pop Vortex, we released a song at about 9 a.m. this morning. You guys heard us talking about it. Genocide, losing my mind. We around, I think it was a 420 or 430 today, displaced Taylor Swift on the iTunes top 100, taking the number one spot away from the current number one hit song on the Billboard Hot 100. So I want to say thank you to everybody who listened to the song, who bought the song on iTunes. Now, as much as we just hit number one and we've been sitting there for several hours, Taylor Swift, of course, is Taylor Swift. She got winded her back. You know, we're promoting the song in our video content. She's just naturally massively famous. So if you haven't

already got the song, you can pick it up on iTunes. It's 69 cents. You can go to losingmymind.com, watch the video, listen to the song. We're getting tremendous feedback. And really, if you haven't seen the music video, you got to watch it because we've got Taylor Lorenz, Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon and and more. And Alex Jones in this video, legally distinct from guests or featured players. They're just in the video because, you know, we're we're making them sing for us, basically put it that way. But considering y'all helped us in a matter of eight hours, hit number one on iTunes and helped us displace Taylor Swift. And no beef Taylor Swift.

I am saying this because she is the biggest right now. She has the top 13. I think it is on the top 100. She is the biggest. And we actually got our song to displace her on iTunes. So that's a sign of respect for Taylor and the work she did. And the fact that we're impressed that with your help, we were able to get to the top. So what we're gonna be doing is we got everybody who, almost everybody who helped put the song together. Before we get started,

we are going to re-crack that Louis 13 that we cracked open. It's a very expensive bottle of cognac. We broke it open when Elon Musk successfully took over Twitter. Joining us today to talk about the news and more, of course, is Pedro Gonzalez. How's it going, man? You want to introduce yourself? Yeah, man. Happy to be back. It's been a while. I'm a writer and editor at Chronicles Magazine, and that's about it. I'm a polemicist. I make people angry on Twitter. Right on. And then, of course, just very quickly joining us to celebrate with this Louis, we got Luke, we've got Ian, Serge, Kellen, Carter Banks, who produced the song. He's

also in the video as well. My brother who helped make the video happen, and of course, my girlfriend who helps run the company. So now we're going to take this epic bottle of Louis XIII. If you're not familiar, Google it. It is very nice. And this is a celebration

and my thanks to everybody in the room who is helping make all this possible and who helped put this video together. We'll see how the song does. The first song we put out, Only Ever Wanted, was totally apolitical and it did really well. It's our first song or our second song, really. And it ends up hitting

Billboard on a bunch of different charts. We're actually looking at the metrics right now and it looks like this song is going to do better. So if you guys want to just start pouring the Louis. Who's first? Who's going to come up? You guys coming up to grab it? Come on. It was Chris. Chris was first. All right, let's go.

I've never had this before. So this is a kind of bourbon. I'm reading about it here. Louis XIII. Oh, it's a cognac. Louis XIII. I'm going to take a louder with Roberto. And don't spill it. We got a wide shot playing right now?

Yeah, trying to get it sorted out right now. Just got to zoom. Wide, wide. A little bit. Here we go. And I just want to give a special shout out to Taylor Swift, who's an awesome musician. Taylor, I'm looking forward to working with you in the future, man. Let's make another number one hit together.

Can I also highlight this for all you guys? This is our Louder With Roberto Bug Club mug. Crowder, they also wrote about the song on their website, so shout out. This is our spoof of Louder With Crowder. Bug Club. Roberto,

you know we like our chickens and our roosters. A fine cognac. Alright, who's next? This is a lot. I'm coming around. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, that's a good amount. That's a good amount? Whoa. I can smell it from right here.

It smells like Band-Aids. Who still needs some? I'm such a pleb. Band-Aids. We got everybody? Ah, it's good. Wow. I'm so glad I got that reaction right there.

That was a good one, Ian. Ah, yeah. Look like you're drinking it in, yeah. Don't drink it yet. Cheers. You gotta celebrate your victory. Look how much was spilled. Like a vanilla. Party foul.

It's like $100 worth of Louis XIII. Let's find out why. Alright, everybody. Cheers, Tim. Nice work, man. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers all around. Alright, yes. I'll y'all. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers all around. Cheers all around. Cheers, sir. We're not going to make it.

All right. Yes. It's the best we can. I'll take the bottle. Cheers, guys. Cheers. I think Luke is just constantly trying to find excuses for drinking the Louis and celebrating. You got to celebrate your victories, right? So I think there's a number of news stories today that we should be drinking towards.

So keep that on the table there. I agree. You should celebrate victory. Thank you, Ian. I don't like to celebrate dates. I've kind of gotten away from the whole hey, it's December 25th, let's all party just because it's a day.

But when you earn it, that's when it's worth it. The worse it tastes? I thought it was actually really good. Headphones? Not many headphones? There should be a lot in there. Methino, Provost. Alright. Seriously, everybody who's listening, I am seriously eternally grateful

to all of you who support and continue to support our work. It was, you know, when we released Only Ever Wanted, it took 12 hours for us to hit number two on iTunes, and that's the best we did. And then I knew that if we put out something that was more political,

because we had this one in production, and right before the election, we'd probably do way better do way better but everyone's you know a lot more people are it's a better response people are saying the songs they like this one better because it's like you know boppier and poppier and all that stuff so uh i just want to say thank you for helping make all this possible without all of you this would be meaningless without the human experience without support from our fellow man and everything uh i'd just be living in the woods with a pointy stick and a dog or something so and thank you to carter and ian for working on it carter especially for for doing all the heavy lifting thanks for and uh kent i know uh you know

kent's not here because he doesn't live out here but kent welling did all the heavy lifting on the video we filmed for like an hour then we send send the footage over to Kent who puts this whole thing together super quick and it was an absolutely incredible production. And a special shout out to Wombo.ai. They are the company that took the pictures of these media personalities and then made them sing for us that we could put in the video.

So you can check it out at losingmymind.com. We have right here, you can see the video if you want to pull that up real quick. We're inside breeding, concocting all the lies that we use to control your minds. And then you can see we have a nice little feature individual. Look at that face. So anyway. Can you play a little bit of it for the show just to give them a little taste?

I'll just play a tiny bit. This is the song you guys got to go listen to it made to control your lives we're inside reading and cutting all the lies that we use to control your mind all right we'll we'll wrap that up and we'll get on with the news and talk about the to get away from it. I'm losing my mind. All right. We'll wrap that up and we'll get on with the news and talk about the craziness.

It sounds even better in the headphones, I gotta say. Sounds really good. Really good. But forgive the extended early opening segment talking about this.

I just wanted to make sure I said thank you to you guys. We did the celebration to thank everybody who put stuff together. So that being said, Pedro, we introduced. If we want to just get to it. Luke's hanging out. Hey, you know, I got I got the message for perfectly for today's show. And it says being happy and healthy is a

revolutionary act. Celebrate your victories. Happy Friday, because essentially there is a war on your immune system and your mental health. Make sure you're fighting it as best as you can by being happy and healthy. And if you like that message, you could get the shirt on thebestpoliticalshirts.com because you do. That's why I'm here. Right on. Introducing. Hey, guys, thanks for having me. Tim, thanks for having me be a part of the song. Carter, nice work, man. And I really want to point people at the music tonight. Looking forward to talking with you guys about whatever comes up. And we got a big show because the table is completely full. We got Carter hanging out as well.

Yeah, you know, I've been mixing in a cave for a little bit, but I'm also here for a reason and would love to talk some politics. Where can people find you? They can find me on Instagram, CarterBanks4L, and the rest of YouTube, Twitter is just at CarterBanks. And yeah. Sounds good. And we got Serge pressing all the buttons. Yeah, running around here. And yeah. Sounds good. We got Serge pressing

all the buttons. Yeah, running around here. And there's another guy in the corner with the wide shot. You can see that's Kellen. Kellen's rocking. He also presses the buttons. We have a full room

and it's all dudes. Yeah, real sausage cast. Sausage fest here, guys. I was thinking it, but you said it. All right, let's get into this first story and just let's roll with it

because, you know, we love this story. NBC News mysteriously polls its exclusive report on how Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, calmly opened the door to cops in his underpants and then walked towards the hammer intruder who bludgeoned him. I mean, that's basically it. They deleted this video. But OK, we got it. There's so much to break down. First, the story was an unknown third person opens the door. They walk in. Paul Pelosi and this guy are fighting over a hammer and the guy gets it and hits him. And then the cops are like, oh, and they subduing. Then the story changes. There's no third guy. The cops came in and saw them fighting. Then the story changes again. Now you've got Paul Pelosi

opening the door and calmly walking back to this guy. If he was really facing an intruder or being threatened, he would have walked out. He would have opened the door for the cops and said, please, officer, that's the guy. And he would have walked with the cops, not away from the cops. So the question is, did NBC News delete this report because this report was fake news? Or was there other reporting fake news and this is the real news? I don't know. NBC said, for the record, specifically, by the way, it matters here what they said in this report that's now deleted and people can't find other than, of course, the saved videos that are being shared on social media.

But they said specifically that Paul Pelosi, quote, did not immediately declare an emergency or tried to leave his home, but instead began walking several feet back into the foyer towards the assailant there's also reports from that nbc program that this was something that was going on for over 30 minutes again they why can't they get their story straight here why did they delete this what is really going on here and the people who are asking questions were right all along but but this is this gets even deeper because NBC just released another article, another report, and the headline of it is, quote, the GOP has Paul Pelosi's blood on its hands. I mean, come on. I mean, just when you're trying to manipulate an event for your own personal political benefit, now we have such outrageous lies and confusion and so many different versions of events here. What's going on? I disagree.

I think this is just as bad as 9-11. This is racist-11 no no no even worse this is worse than january 6th way worse than 9-11 and january 6th and pearl harbor look who hasn't been caught wrestling on the floor with some guy in his underwear and a hammer when his wife's not home in his house like if that hasn't happened to you like you can throw the first stone okay yeah but now they're saying the guy wasn't in his underpants right why yeah because remember no no look look they said he was in his underpants they said he was in his underpants and then they found zip ties and then people went where did he put the zip ties and they went uh he had a backpack they're like so he had a backpack in his underpants okay okay well he wasn't in his underpants that clears up everything that clears up everything no i mean release the cameras they

have cameras. They won't release them. This all could end if they release the footage. And the fact that they won't, I think, says something. What it says, I don't know. But I mean, you can go back to the 911 call. And what does Paul Pelosi say? His name is David and he's my friend.

He says, I don't... Well, he didn't say that. The cop is reporting what he heard. Right. And so the cop is like, he says he doesn't know the mail, but his name is David and he's a friend and he's going to wait like he says he doesn't know the male but his name is david and he's a friend and he's gonna wait for his wife that's right now that it makes sense that the story was paul dialed 9-1-1 without letting the dude know and then was talking loudly in code saying something like i don't know you and the guy was probably like don't worry i'm a friend

i want to talk to nancy i wonder if the real story was this guy is a leftist he's got blm in his window he's got a pride flag he lives with berkeley hemp hippies i wonder if he was like i need to talk to nancy like she's gonna help me do you remember when that guy climbed trump tower and he said i need to talk to trump he was a supporter he wasn't a he wasn't a hater i wonder if that's what happened and then when when pelosi calls the cops he's thinking like everything's fine. And then the dude ends up hitting him or something. Maybe he pretended like he was calling Nancy. Hold on.

I got another story for you. What if the police hit Paul Pelosi? What if what really happened is Paul did call the cops? No, no, no. Don't hear me out. What if Paul called the cops and the cops rush in freaking out, break glass kick the door in and then see paul in his underwear hit him knock him down and then go oh crap that was the homeowner and hold on that would explain why they said the intruder was in his underwear it was an unknown man who answered

the door and now they're changing their story he could have been drunk and and rowdy and and out of control and they would they were like hey bring in the hobo down the street we got to blame this on somebody but but who knows what happened here too hey yeah yeah that's another possibility here well so you know what if and and maybe they brought him i don't know i don't get too conspiratorial but what if paul does call the cops and when he sees the cops he runs to the door yelling or doing something frantic and the cops just boom right in the face i wouldn't necessarily blame the cops like it's a bad thing if the cops just struck a guy but if you get a call there's a home intruder and there's a there's a crazy man in my house and then you walk up and you see a dude in his underwear coming towards you frantic and yelling the cops are gonna

be like back up and they're gonna hit you they put the guy down they paul pelosi goes down hits his head and they go oh crap could we get our story straight could we play the nbc report because it was very telling i don't know if we have it it's all over social media it's all over twitter i tweeted it out yeah i can i can pull it on my twitter but but they also reported that the police officers didn't know the severity of the situation didn't know that it was uh paul pelosi and, again, just extremely unlikely. Just arrived here at the Pelosi home exactly a week ago today. They initially didn't have any idea exactly what was going on. They knew they had a high priority call on their hand. What was unclear, what was happening inside the property just behind me.

This morning, Paul Pelosi is home back at the house that became a crime scene a week ago today. NBC News learning new details about the moments police arrived. Sources familiar with what unfolded in the Pelosi residence now revealing when officers responded to the high-priority call, they were seemingly unaware they'd been called to the home of the Speaker of the House. How? After a knock and announce, the front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi. The 82-year-old did not immediately declare an emergency or try to leave his home. Why?

But instead began walking several feet back into the foyer toward the assailant and away from police. It's unclear if the 82-year-old was already injured or what his mental state was, say sources. According to court documents, when the officer asked what was going on, defendants smiled and said everything's good. But instantaneously, a struggle ensued as police clearly saw David DePapp strike Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer. After tackling the suspect, officers rushed to Mr. Pelosi, who was lying in a pool of blood. What we do know is he brutally attacked Mr. Pelosi and attempted to kill him. After spending several days in the ICU, Pelosi, who is recovering from a fractured skull and serious injuries to his arm and hand,

is now home where Capitol Police remain on alert. Investigators have previously said Pelosi did not know DePapp when the 42-year-old broke into his home. How did they know? Why Pelosi didn't try to flee or tell responding officers he was in distress is unclear. All right, let's pause real quick. There is zero confirmation that DePapp broke into the house. This is between Pelosi and DePapp. DePapp's pleaded not guilty.

There is a statement he gave. And so what I mean to say is I'll clarify. There is circumstantial evidence he broke into the house, a lot of it. I'm saying is we've not seen hard evidence. The story is as they claim. We've not seen videos. We've not seen like third parties. We just have the two people involved saying, here's what happened. And then the cops changing their story 50 times. So I think it's fair to say, why did NBC delete this video? Maybe the reporter was lying. Maybe the reporter was wrong. If you come to me and said, hey, Tim, this reporter lied,

I would say, is it a day ending and why? So then someone said, hey, Tim, this reporter lied, I would say, is it a day ending and why? So then someone says, yo, Paul, that story, this isn't true. I'd be like, not surprising. Now, hold on, hold on. That being said,

deleting the video itself could be them trying to manipulate and cover up. So if you told me they deleted the video because it was true, I'd say, is it a day ending and why? So I'm not going to sit here

and trust NBC. But their report was predominantly based on the police report and interviews they did with the police. So the burden of proof is not on NBC here. It's on the police officers who are trying to tell you there's no way the two knew each other. How do you know that? Were they following and spying on these two people for their whole lives? Again, that doesn't make sense. And another aspect here that doesn't make sense

is this suspect that broke into the home was allegedly a mastermind, Q MAGA guy who was going to target Pelosi and go after her, saw the cops, and then that's the moment he decided to take a hammer and strike Paul. That doesn't make sense.

It doesn't add up. I don't know how this sounds, but I actually don't care a whole lot about this incident and the details of it. And what I care more about is the fact that it was propagandized as a kind of as an example of deliberate, methodical right wing violence, an attempt to assassinate a Democrat by some QAnon Trump supporting person when just everything we know about like the basic facts of it say that that's that's not true. And at the same time that that's happening, you know, Bill Maher does a whole segment that this is a continuation of the Cold War, right? This is the Cold War in the United States heating up.

He does this whole monologue. It's just absurd, right? And as that's happening, you have a GOP candidate, I think his name is Pat Harrigan, whose house was fired at. This happened in the last 24 hours. His kids almost died. Police confirmed that someone shot

into the home where his parents live. And I think his kids were in the house at the time. And that's just one example, right? Like over the summer, Lee Zeldin was attacked. And I think there's other recent examples of Republican politicians who are being attacked. And it's obviously difficult to find, like, are these people actually Democrats or what are they? I think there's one politician who was attacked by what the media characterized as a libertarian activist.

But we don't know that, right? But the point is, is that there is a disproportionate amount of violence that I think obviously comes more from the left. But where the difference is, is in the coverage. I don't believe your average MAGA person gets violent. Like I say, on average, there's outliers, of course. But you hear these stories where Bill Maher says the danger of the right wing. And then it turns out to be these

Jussie Smollett incidents. Yes. But the media always reports it as though the right caused the problem. So an example is I was in Portland. Proud Boys were marching. Antifa started a counter protest. The Proud Boys were minding their own business and walking around with American flags. Antifa was antagonizing and screaming racial slurs.

Did the media come out and say a peaceful march by conservatives was attacked by Antifa? Of course not. They said, you know, violent right-wing group shows up and clashes with Antifa or whatever. But that wasn't the reality of what happened.

We saw that a whole lot. The Proud Boys would go somewhere, or not even the Proud Boys, like right-wing groups, conservative groups would march with flags. And then all of a sudden, Antifa would jump and get into fights. And the media would say it was either mutual combat or violent right-wingers showed up. And then you see what happens in New York, the mistake made by the conservatives. When Antifa came and showed up to a gavin mckinnis a proud boys or it was a gavin mckinnis speaking event and started throwing things at people and basically

surrounding the outer blocks proud boys run full speed at them get into a fight start bragging about what they were doing and how they fought and it was all live streamed when the police arrested them well the good cop loving right wingers said sure officer i'll tell you everything and antifa pulled their masks up and ran full speed and refused to give statements the antifa guys no charges why don't know who they are that's right the proud boys they're in prison yeah that's how it works yep back to blue right we have this other story though let's let's always back to blue don't question that that's right always support the boot check out this story in the in a similar vein vandal throws molotov cocktail through oklahoma donut shop window days before it was set to host a drag queen event

second time shop has been vandalized in as many weeks i gotta say i don't know if uh i find it really hard to believe that a guy would put on a maga hat and a black hoodie and then firebomb a cupcake shop. Even if there's a, you know, drag queen story hour happening or whatever. You know, like, would a Trump supporter or right-wing guy be like, better put on my MAGA hat before I go and commit this crime? No way in hell. It would probably be the opposite. Actually, if it wouldn't, you know, I would probably wear like an Antifa costume.

You would. And do it. Well, not me. I would do something like this. But if I were in that person's shoes right right no right exactly it's a repeat of the jesse incident right like that this is MAGA country yeah it's literally that except with a hat that's it well you know the issue is when one side is evil and plays dirty they're going to do things like this now now look uh you know before the show you mentioned you wouldn't be surprised if it really was

someone on the right right yeah i mean i I wouldn't. It wouldn't surprise me in this environment. Now, if they came out right and they arrested this guy and it turned out his name was John Smith and there's photos of all over Trump's rallies, I'd be like, well, he's clearly crazy because we think anybody doing this is crazy, be it left or otherwise or whatever. But I mean, yeah, right. Considering the environment that we're in. You've got people targeting kids. And now, I don't know if you guys saw, Stephen Colbert apologized. The Tudor Dixon debating Gretchen Whitmer says, a guy came to me and said, these explicit books are in these schools.

The Democrats won't give me answers, so I'm voting Republican. Colbert goes on his show and says it's made up. It's not real. He was forced to apologize on his show. Because if he just did a Google search, he would have realized this wasn't made up. And he opened himself up to defamation by saying, Tudor Dixon made this story up. That happened. So there's a lot of parents who are starting. Look, when you have Democrat voters in places like Dearborn, these are Muslims, coming out and being like, my whole family's voting Republican. What do you

think conservatives, like staunch religious right conservatives are thinking when they're seeing this stuff happen to kids? It's worse than that. I mean, speaking of Muslims, there is a case documented by Abigail Schreier in City Journal. A devout Muslim had a son who's autistic and he had a really bad episode. And I think this was during COVID. So he took his son to the hospital. They lived in washington washington state and because of the covid policies he couldn't stay with his son overnight so he goes home and the next day he gets a call from the hospital and they tell the father well your son's problem is not that he's autistic and had an episode uh it's that he's actually a girl wow and to this father's credit

he played it a lot cooler than i would have been and And basically he played along and was like, yeah, I just, what do I do next? You know, like we're, what are the next steps to basically beginning the process of affirming my, my, my son's real identity. And the hospital releases his kid and he takes his family and moves them out of Washington state because he knew that if he would have bucked too hard, uh, social workers would have gotten involved because the way that that works, the way that the hospital, you know, was able to confirm that he was trans was between doctors coordinating with social workers and kind of evaluating the kid. And I mean, like we already have cases where families are being broken up by these people to transition kids. And you have

people that work for organizations like USPATH and WPATH, these trans advocacy organizations that are saying, like these are doctors that are saying we're working with courts to teach them how to take kids out of houses so that we can transition them when their parents are being difficult. Well, it gets even worse than that because in places like Canada and some European countries, if the parents don't play along, don't go along with what the doctors or the psychologists want the kids to do and to go along with the transition. They literally get put in jail. They get arrested for misgendering their own children and not going along with the transition of their child.

So you come for people's kids and then you're surprised that the temperature in the room rises? When you say things like, you can't stop us from transitioning your kids and we'll bring the courts to bear on you, like you're surprised that some people might lash out. Yeah, now this guy either is an absolute idiot who was doing this as he, you know, is portraying himself to do this, or he's someone who's, you know,

doing something just for the optics there because there was a surveillance camera in HD. He did have that red MAGA hat. And either he's an absolute dumbass who's very stupid and just has very low impulse control and then did this stupid act as a real act, or it was a setup in order to get those optics going right before the election that, of course, work in favor of the main campaign issue that the democrats have and that of course is january 6th maga republicans bad maga guy fire buying firebombing this publicly lit area with a big surveillance camera with the red hat not to mention he was wearing a mask well and it was the second time in however many weeks that

that place has been right it could be a right winger. I don't know. You know, but I just love it's like they learn from the Justice Millett thing. They're like, OK, we need the people to actually wear the hoodies and the MAGA hats and yell this is MAGA country. Otherwise, no one will believe it. But I think that's I think that's a good point, is that every incident like this is framed as part of this bigger narrative of like basically. I mean, it's so obvious, right? Like the media is trying to turn the Paul Pelosi thing,

this thing into the case for why you should not vote Republican during the midterm elections because they have no other case, right? Like they've completely doubled down on being insane going into midterms. And I think there's a recognition of that. Like, well, the only thing that could convince people

to not vote Republican or whatever is to convince them that there's a recognition of that like well the only thing that convinced people that could convince people to not vote republican or whatever is to is to convince them that there's this like imminent mass violence that's going to happen after midterms i mean yeah but from democrats well i mean you're hearing this right like uh it's them they're gonna yeah well they're saying like vote vote for us or else yes that's basically what we're being told literally like six days until democracy did you see that guy on msnb who said that the Republicans are going to kill your children? Beschloss? Yeah. Yeah, he said six days until democracy ends.

He said they will murder your children. Yes. I was watching and I was just like, this guy's lost it. But hey, you know, when I say civil war, everybody, that's your cue. It's because of people like this. Drink. There you go. Hey, you got it.

But he's going to. He's really good, by the way. Drink. There you go. Hey, you got it. But he's going. He's going. Luke poured himself a lot. Hey, I got the pour. Okay. I didn't pour myself the glass. Someone gave me the pour. Where's yours, Louie?

Tim? I finished it. Oh, you did? You ate it. Delicious. I didn't give myself that much. It was just, you know, to sip it. This is a burden, not a gift.

Okay? No, it's a burden. By the end of that glass, it will feel like a burden. It's a bird by the by the end of the by the end of that glass it will feel like a burden but yeah it's a cognac maybe uh i i wonder if i can try and find that video while we're talking you guys keep talking but uh yeah this guy goes on msnbc he's raving and and and it's it's normal to them to have him go on the show and say this stuff look you know people people have a meme about me saying civil war but my approach is always like, you know, we hope it doesn't happen. We're kind of on that path.

It may be an informational warfare. It may be fifth generational. It may just be this, but who knows? It really could get crazy. This guy goes on and says, six days. They could kill your children. And who knows if historians will even be able to write anymore. It's wild.

None of the ones that are currently writing should. That's my position. But I think that you actually should take these people at face value when they say things like that. It's wild. None of the ones that are currently writing should. That's my position. But I think that you actually should take these people at face value when they say things like that. And I think it's a mistake that the right makes or conservatives make that they don't take people who are insane seriously. Like people like this, if given power, would absolutely do things to hurt you and make your life worse. Yeah, I was thinking about people that are in pain, taking them seriously. Like people that are young people that feel like they're in the wrong body or transitioning their bodies. Like it's not, not right to laugh and joke and point. Cause like

they're, they're real people. And if you do ignore them, the threat will get worse. It could become a real threat. Like, so it's, you got to take this stuff seriously. So when they're saying things like that, yeah. I mean like you, you, you mean, obviously it's funny to hear that, but at the same time, it's like, no, you give these people the power to hurt you and they will do it. Absolutely. Because they see themselves as the victims. They see themselves, although the establishment is completely on their side, they absolutely view you as the oppressor and they're going to act accordingly.

I thought that it was very strange. This guy was wearing a, a MAGA hat. MAGA? MAGA? Well, it looks like a MAGA hat. I don't know what it says. Oh, really? So they don't know. It's a red hat with white letters, and it's got

some trim on the brim. It's the kind of thing where if some random guy, some random Indonesian dude, shout out to Indonesia, went and burned a house to the ground and then laid down a piece of paper on the ground that said Trump on it next to the burned rubble, some media would be like,

Trump's supporters! and you're like the media is reporting it is a MAGA hat the David Dodd is yes so remember when that football player like ex-football player tried opening like a pizza in a wing place and then he vandalized them and then wrote like MAGA and like racial slurs and then they were

like it was actually him who did it I miss this there was a church that got burned down and then the dude put like a racial slur on the ground and it turned out like it was the him who did it i miss this that there was a church that got burned down and then the dude put like a racial slur on the ground and it turned out like it was the pastor that did it and they were just trying to frame the right yeah this happens all the time rural right wingers are not getting in their cars and driving into cities to seek these people out i mean the the amount of work involved in that i don't think the average person has. And if you're going to commit a crime, right, check out the place for surveillance cameras. And then maybe, you know, knock the surveillance camera down.

But don't frame yourself right in the middle of it when it makes the perfect shot of this propaganda that we're seeing shared everywhere right now. I think there was a story in the Wall Street Journal that actually argued that, like, in these days, more often than not, or at or at least at an alarming rate a lot of these let's call them hate hoaxes are fake and they're perpetrated by the supposed victims yeah like this is in the wall street journal and i think that's uh so why wouldn't it be the case that people on the right might be less inclined to do this stuff and i think it's there's an understanding that like you will go to jail like unlike the left that you know burned down half the country in 2020. And pretty much everyone who was involved in those riots got off with either a slap on the wrist or no slap at all. Like if you, if you get caught doing something like this and you're actually right wing,

like you're going to jail for a long time. There's just, there seems to be a kind of understanding that the system is against you and it's going to punish you severely. I want to play this video. Clay Travis tweeted, MSNBC historian says, if you vote for Republicans, your kids will be murdered and democracy will die. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado. And a historian 50 years from now, if historians are allowed to write in this country, and if there are still free publishing houses and a free press, which I'm not certain of. But if that is true, a historian will say, what was at stake tonight and this week was the fact whether we will be a democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested and conceivably killed. We're on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system, and it could be a week away like and

this is what happens they watch msnbc and this guy says if the republicans win they're going to arrest your children and kill them like they actually think in their minds the cop is going to be like you know trump's orders sorry walk into your house take your seven-year-old in cuffs and then bring them to a firing squad? What are they imagining happens in this country? They're riding the back of the Trump bad narrative, man. The whole Biden administration and momentum is based on, look

how bad Trump was. It's so annoying. And now they're still saying it. They've extrapolated it to Trump's voter base and how bad, bad, bad they are, how bad they are. It's just Nazi propaganda, man. It's what Hitler did to the communists with the reichstag fire it's just this full false flag nonsense about creating a boogeyman that's what i'm getting out of it the um the the funny thing is if you juxtapose it to what mccarthy has said are the gop agenda is after midterm elections do you know

what it is what is it entitlement reform yeah so you have this guy screaming that you know like they're going to genocide your kids and then mccarthy's like actually we just want to cut social security but it's just but on the other how do i say this um i wish the gop was half as radical um as these people think it is because the disappointing thing is is that the gop is not nearly prepared to actually use the electoral windfall that it's going to get. For nothing it did, by the way. I think people are voting Republican understandably because the Democrats are so insane. But the GOP, I don't think, is prepared to actually use the electoral gain that it's going to get to change the trajectory of the country in a meaningful way. Bill Maher's a great example of what's wrong with the left. Because you can see it when he says things on his show about the woke left and the whiny millennial and Gen Z babies and all that stuff. It's like, okay, he's clearly heard something, but he's not actually Googled it.

Like, he's seen a video on Twitter and then said, heaven's me, I'm not going to research that. So then he goes on MSNBC and he's like, these right-wingers are so violent. It's like, bro, there was an insurrection on May 29th, 2020,

where there were thousands of far-left extremists. There's photos of D.C. with fires raging. It's an overhead view of D.C. You see smoke everywhere. They tore down the barricades

at the White House. They set fire to St. John's Church. They fire-bombed a guard post on the White House. They set fire to St. John's Church. They firebombed a guard post on the White House grounds. And they injured 150 cops. 529. Worse than January 6th.

Yep. No, that's exactly right. The president was forced into a bunker. But I'm glad that Bill Maher will just kind of reflexively, you know, do that. Because it reminds people that, like, you can't trust people like Bill Maher. I'm sorry. Like the, their tendency is always going to be to punch right at the moment of decision.

And I think that's good that people are reminded of that because there was a moment where, you know, there was that, that, uh, segment that Bill Maher did, I think with,

with, uh, uh, with Weiss about COVID. And like, it was Weiss basically finally saying like, well, I'm not comfortable with like masking things like that. Right. It's like the rest of us are like already fed up with this. And like it was Weiss basically finally saying like, well, I'm not comfortable with like masking things like that, right? It's like the rest of us are like, already fed up with this.

And but because Barry Weiss and Bill Maher talk about it, now it's fine, right? Now we can we can start saying like the masking and the vaccines and all the regulations were dumb and wrong. So I think it's good that Maher will still kind of misstep and expose himself. I want to show this photo. Yeah, that's right. I just Googled DC BLM riots. Yeah. There's this view. I guess it came from a helicopter. And you can see black smoke rising.

There's actually a wider shot. It shows black smoke rising in several areas. Yeah. This doesn't happen to these people. Like, in their minds, this never happened. No. You ask them, what are you talking about? I actually saw a leftist journalist have a big Twitter thread about how the BLM protests

were peaceful. Fiery, but mostly peaceful. That's what uh who said that msnbc cnn cnn said yeah these there's a journalist who said the reason why we take maga so seriously blah blah is because although there were protests during blm they were peaceful and we didn't understand that when we go out i'm like are you talking about people died they literally got killed several dozen yes people were killed billions of dollars in damage yeah and then and then you see you see that msnbc thing where they're the panel of trump supporters and the host goes a cop died on january 6th and they're like no he didn't yeah no he died later from natural that was the only that was the only person who died as a direct result of that of that whole thing yeah let him keep saying it you know why because if there's anything you can do like you

know ian you brought this up with your mom when you said biden shouldn't be sniffing kids and she said he's not doing that and then you showed her and she went okay he shouldn't be doing that if you can show someone that's right not as an adversary like here's a video of them ransacking of you know burning saint john's church yeah here's a video of them ransacking, you know, burning St. John's Church. Here's a video of a man in Dearborn, Michigan, saying, I don't like sexually explicit books in my kids' libraries. Then they watch Colbert. And Colbert goes, that never happened. It didn't happen.

We looked into it. Now, all of a sudden, that normie aunt or uncle of yours is watching. Be like, I actually saw that. I saw that video. Colbert's lying yep this is the part in the movie where people start pulling other people out of the matrix and start waking them up and it's because they're emotionally on the same level it was like with the the whole uh replacement theory thing that happened a while ago i wrote an article in

newsweek um and it was just so easy to show that the Democratic Party has for decades made it an official electoral strategy to simply replace the electorate. Like it's, they say it openly, you know, like that basically fewer white people means more wins for us. Like this is, this is not me saying this. This is the Democratic Party saying this. And this is why it fell apart was because it's like, no, no, no. We can just quote the New York Times saying this.

But when Tucker Carlson said, this is what they're saying, they said he's promoting great replacement. That's right. And it's like he no, no, no, we can just quote the New York Times saying this. But when Tucker Carlson said, this is what they're saying, they said he's promoting great replacement. That's right. And it's like he's quoting Democrats. Yes, it's like the New York Times is promoting the great replacement. Charles Blow, you know, like it's Democrat politicians who are promoting it. Tucker is just repeating what you're saying in your own words. So no, you're right.

You allow these people to just show you who they really are. Yeah, but he's not celebrating and cheering it on. So he's man bad. But I do think the white angle is the incorrect angle. Like, I really don't care if a bunch of Venezuelans come to the United States, for the most part, because they hate communists. Like, that's the reason they're fleeing. So typically, when you see, like, in Miami, you'll meet Venezuelans and Cubans. They're like, communism is trash.

We love America. This is a great country. Free speech, free enterprise. And I'm like, I like that. These are good people. So it's not about race. It's about values. The problem we have is they're bringing in people who are just looking for an economic opportunity. And it's nothing to do with any of this. When you see people coming across the border, it's like, I can make more money here. They don't know our values. They don't believe in our values. And that's an issue for us because Democrats are trying to bring in people to allow them to get political power, either through the census or through creating new demographics, new voter bases. But they're creating a demographic of people who are like, I just want something.

So then you get voters who are like, don't care, don't know. If you give me something, I'll vote for you. That's why Joe Biden's like, I'll give you 10 grand towards your student loans. I think, I mean, there's a whole argument to make that, you know, that the identity aspect does matter. But from my position, I just think it's ghoulish to basically celebrate and advocate replacing the core demographic of a country. When has it ever happened before? When has it been openly discussed in human history? Like, let's take the, you know,

like the stock population and just replace them. Yeah, it's not like- Genghis Khan, I think. The Romans, for sure, but they don't talk joyfully about it. No, about themselves. I'm saying like, that's just, this has never happened before.

Never in human history has a society talked about its own core demographic population like that that's just this has never happened before it never in human history has a society uh talked about its own core demographic population like that like the romans didn't say we're going to replace ourselves or something like that no no they would replace like the conquered gauls with romans i really don't think the identity thing is i don't i don't think the immutable identity thing matters when candace owens comes out they say she's a white supremacist i get that too it's because there's cultural that's the point like if if what look the white liberals nod and agree with whatever they say so it works for them any other group that agrees with they say it works for them but it's it's it's not about race they'll come out and claim you know this this white person who is engaging in racist activities isn't racist if it's in favor of them.

Affirmative action, for instance, or creating segregated libraries. They did that educational thing in, I can't remember where it was, Seattle or whatever. Dearborn did this with POC and non-POC digital cafes. If it's a white person doing that, it's not racist. If it's a conservative white person, no matter what you do, it's racist. But if you're a conservative black person, if you're Larry Elder, you're the black face of white supremacy. So what I see is they're looking for a way to bring in people who don't care about the American ideology, the American way of life. That's all that matters. If you were born in America and you're a Marxist and you hate America, you are welcome. They're not going to insult you. They're not going to smear you. You're good. You're golden, even if you're

white. If you're a black conservative, but you believe in American values and free speech, you're a white supremacist. Yeah. Or Uncle Tom. Yeah. I mean, yeah, sure. I think there's a middle ground there between people like me and people like you. I mean, basically, yeah, it does seem to be a policy of the Democrats to simply try to replace the demographics that they view as troublesome, whether or not that that's actually true. I mean, that is what they advocate, yeah. It's a correlation, right? This country in the 60s, I think, was like 90 some odd percent white. Most of these people are, you know, they're Christian, they're meritocratic, they're anti-communist. So the

easiest way to target that demographic is the surface level racial attack, exploit racial animosity. I mean, I think this is part of like the communist strategy for subverting a country. But the reality is you can be of any background and have values that we think are good and the Democrats will try to destroy you. They'll lie about you. They'll smear you and they don't want you here. Yeah, I think ultimately what we're talking about is assimilation. And I think that what we're saying is that people that come to this country are expected to assimilate into certain values, right? And my position is just that the things that we refer to as American values originate in a specific demographic. And that's not to say that other

people can't, you know, assimilate into that. But assimilation is very tricky. It requires pauses in immigration. It requires a kind of a basic understanding of like house rules. We don't have that. You know, anything goes except, of course, the things that we can characterize as racist.

So yeah, I mean, I think there's an agreement there. Let's jump to Twitter. Sure. We have this beautiful tweet from our good friend, Will Chamberlain. How's it going, Will? Shout out. He says, Elon Musk has fired the curation team, the human rights team, the ethics team, transparency and accountability team.

Nothing of value was lost. Bravo. So this individual said, yesterday was my last day at Twitter. The entire human rights team has been cut from the company. Bravo! So this individual said, yesterday was my last day at Twitter. The entire human rights team has been cut from the company. Why is there a human rights team at Twitter? It is a tech platform for you to send words to people. Why do they have a human rights team?

Well, according to what I'm seeing online, they were specifically going after people who were calling for bodily autonomy, calling for medical freedom, and for parental rights. So, there you go. They were going after those specific individuals. I love this one the most. What do those words mean, though? Sorry, go ahead. The curation team. The entire curation team was fired.

I'm very happy about this, because Twitter once put on their What's Happening trending tab, for like two weeks, a fake story about me. Totally fabricated, completely insane.

And people were commenting on Twitter being like, why is this really weird fake story trending when no one's talking about it? It's not relevant. It's not political. It's just a hit piece. What was the story?

I'm not going to get into it. Okay. It's just a fake story. Fabricated in every respect. Okay. And Twitter's curation team decided they should make sure all of their users see a story that no one cared about. And the response from most people was like, why is this trending? This story is clearly fake.

Because they're ideological. Because these people are Marxist leftist cult members. And so anything they can do to attack their ideological enemies, they do. So good riddance to them. And then we have Ben Collins. He's also one of these fake news guys. He says the entire ethics, transparency and accountability team at Twitter is gone. If you want a sense of where the site is headed, where is it headed?

Where is a tech platform headed that doesn't have a ethics team? Yeah, look, man, that's what i call bloat that guy ben collins his his uh bio on twitter is dystopia beat which is hilarious because he just runs cover for actual dystopia yeah he just writes fake stuff right that's right no i i think that um i i have noticed that i'm being uh targeted less with tweets, people and content that I hate. Whereas like before I would log in and be bombarded with like, you know, pro-Ukrainian war propaganda, people screaming about how the U.S. needs to get involved in stuff. And I hated it because I don't follow any of these people. Like I don't follow the Kiev Post or the Kiev Independent, right?

But I'd open my app and there would be somebody saying that the United States has to continue giving Ukraine aid like after midterms. I mean, why am I seeing this? You know, go ahead. No, I've just noticed that like in the last few days, I don't see that anymore. Elon Musk's $8 plan is striking at the heart of US cyber command operations, manipulation, etc. So we learned this 10 years ago or so from this leak that the U.S. government was producing sock puppet accounts that private companies would make a series of fake bots or bots and sock puppets. A sock puppet is an account that looks like a real person that you control. So, you know, a sock puppet would be John Doe has 10 accounts. One is John Doe, and then he has Jane Doe, Rick Doe, Bobby Smith, and he acts like they're different people.

Then you tweet something like, I'm a big fan of pineapple on pizza. And then all of a sudden, you get slammed by just 10 posts all being like, you're disgusting. That's really awful. Oh, come on. You don't really like that. And it makes you feel like you're being unpopular all of a sudden people are attacking you for doing this thing and so you're like oh you know i was just kidding i won't but it's one guy with elon musk doing this eight dollar thing the ability of the u.s government and other intelligence agencies to manipulate using bots and sock puppets is gone because people are going to be like i don't want to interact with random anonymous accounts sorry i'm going to ignore like i don't want to interact with random anonymous accounts sorry i'm gonna ignore ignore don't care yeah i mean that was something that i commonly

heard was that people who would tweet things that you know contrary to the consensus on the war would just be swarmed by by just a non tiny and non-counts that were either just recently created or very few followers that would all be just be basically brow like i saw it too like my i wrote about ukraine and stuff like i would get swarmed by these accounts like these nobodies and a lot of them had been created in the last year or so i don't really notice that anymore i just i tweeted this and a bunch of people got mad i said something like stop interacting with anonymous accounts on and your experience on twitter could become way better and this was maybe like a year ago and then I had a bunch of people, even like real people, be like, you're so you're so wrong. Tim opposes anonymity, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, when did I say you

shouldn't be allowed to be anonymous? I said, if you don't interact with them, your day is better. Why? Look, you're allowed to be anonymous. I don't care. I think it's good in a lot of ways. But don't expect me to waste time with one point one.3 million people, you know, if they're all using cartoon communist squirrels. Like, dude, I am not going to argue with someone I can't see. I'm not going, I hear muttering through the wall. I'm not going to start screaming at the wall. I'm going to ignore it.

Someone gets on Twitter. They don't want to show their face. They don't want to use their real name. You can't expect me to engage with a million plus people doing that. Sorry. I see somebody who uses their name, Will Chamberlain, right? We brought him up. It's a picture of him and his family, and it's his real name.

So there's a strong likelihood I'm actually talking to someone, and that could be fruitful for me. I won't be wasting my time. I don't know, man. You could have a cartoon, a communist squirrel account, and it's probably the same guy arguing with me from 10 different accounts. I'm not going to waste my time i don't know man you could you could have a cartoon a communist squirrel account and it's probably the same guy arguing with me from 10 different accounts i'm not going to waste my time with that you're allowed to be anonymous i got no beef with that i'm just saying don't expect me to give you my time if you don't show me your face i'd originally taken it to the extreme and said if you don't make a video and speak so i can hear your voice and look in your eyes i'm not

going to respond to you because i don't believe who that you're who you say you are it's a little extreme because like i know will chamberlain personally and i know that's his twitter account so there are cases where i'll respond to some text and now i'm a little more lax on it now i want to kind of involve people but i'm not going to get stressed out by text go ahead i just want to point out real quick with the termination of all of these uh teams this means that right before the midterms if a hunter biden laptop story came out there's no weirdo to censor it yeah so like the paul pelosi thing yeah it's it's that's it free speech no i think you're you're already kind of seeing this again it might be just be perception because

you know we're excited about the possibilities of musk making uh twitterless cancerous but i mean it does seem like uh things are getting through. But on the point of Anons, I follow a few Anons, but the ones that I follow are high follower accounts, typically, that have shown that they're either historians or independent scholars. I think good Anons can be really constructive and you can learn a lot from them. But yeah, I think there's a problem with these SOC accounts, basically. Right. Just one dude swarming. Well, it's not just SOC accounts.

It's psychological operations. Israel first started to talk about how they were hiring tens of thousands of individuals that would just go online and, of course, actively work on setting the perception online as Israel being more favorable than anyone else. The United States and the Pentagon, of course, have a similar program. But I agree with you. There's a fine balance because we still should have privacy. But at the same time, we've got to be careful when it comes to the psychological operations, which seems like Elon Musk is disrupting. What will be the price for that disruption? How will the deep state, the Pentagon, and all these other large government institutions

that depend on this for their larger psychological operations response to this? That's another question that I think we should worry about. Oh, man, I want you to imagine what a future is going to look like. If Elon Musk has his way, if the Republicans win on Tuesday, I'm imagining mixed-race families hanging out in their front porch the dad's playing catch with his son he smiles then the pizza man delivers it off there's a there's a milk crate from the milkman dude's just horrifying it's gonna be nuts kids healthy everyone's fit no fat people anywhere oh i'm so terrified yeah a lot of discussion here's the scariest part they go to church on sundays is it is it bad that my fantasy is is much more like vengeful of what happens

i want to hurt these people because they've been trying to hurt me and like no decent americans hurts kind of vague that's a bad way to put it we want to fix the problems have accountability you don't want to become what you're fighting no i mean i mean i think well do you want to be what they are? I won't leave that one go. But no, I think the reality is, is in order to fix this country, like you're going to do things that are going to,

like transgenderism, right? Taking on transgenderism is going to make heads explode. And you would have to necessarily shut down institutions. Like you would have to attack uh the accreditation of clinics of hospitals yeah but now you're helping people right it is look yes yes that's right i know what you mean i don't want to hurt yeah we don't we don't but i'm willing to change the banking system and people will lose their jobs so you could argue well then they were hurt by that but that's exactly what i mean yes you have so many stories of detransitioners who wish

they never went through with it and their lives are irreparably harmed. So when you start coming in and following the science and actually stopping the bad stuff, you're actually helping a lot of these people. That's right. So you take a look at what's going on in Europe, and they've already started doing away with a lot of that stuff. In the U.S., they're just the left is a cult. They're they're obstinate, unwilling to look at the data. They believe what the media tells them. They believe what the government tells them.

And that leads people to dangerous, dangerous places. We need we need to stop all that and actually just try and be, you know, calm about things and genuinely help everyone. So the end result is I don't I don't know the Republicans are going to solve all the problems. I honestly think they won't. I think there's a handful of good ones that will do some good things. They're saying that Rand Paul will be the head of like the health committee or something like that. Awesome. Yeah, I don't know. I saw that on Twitter and I'm like, oh, Fauci must be sweating bullets. Hey, that sounds really good if they win. So let's get that to happen at the

very least. But the end result of this is, we're not seeking to hurt anybody. Nobody's getting hurt. We're getting justice and accountability. When you arrest a guy who robbed a liquor store, you're not hurting him. He may be hurt in the arrest. I get that. But we're ultimately doing it because we want to help everyone and stop this guy from doing wrong. Ideally, in my view, we would arrest someone because we are trying to help them. We're trying to rehabilitate. Unfortunately, I think we need prison reform and criminal justice reform because too often we don't do that. But the end result should be we are better than they are. We don't go out and burn down buildings in riot like Antifa does. We don't justify the violence and then lie about it. Everything that's happened from this

eclectic bunch of people from libertarian, post-liberal, and conservative has been to make everyone's life better. And the problem is the left exploits the goodwill and good faith of those trying to actually help people. Yeah, I just think that in order to really, like I said, do the things that need to be done, like we have to be willing to become a little bit more ruthless with power. I mean, holding people accountable for things like transgenderism for covid like you're talking about like i i don't i'm not just kidding when i say we we should have military tribunals for the people that thought it would be a good idea to lock people in their homes and force vaccines you don't do a military tribe tribunal citizens. You do a normal prosecution. Like, you don't bring in the army to arrest people for civil violations.

Right. Well, you understand what I'm saying. Like, I think the scale and the level. Yeah, but you just arrest them. You arrest them. We charge them. And first, we get Rand Paul on the health committee, whatever it's called. Then he launches investigations, files subpoenas.

Then Congress can start making criminal referrals. Then after the Republicans get in in 2024, we can weed out the corruption in the DOJ. It's going to take a long time. But the solution is fairly more normal. Congressional inquiries, federal investigations, special counsels, arrests. And I think that's the path to go for. Let's jump to this next Twitter story. Elon Musk. He says Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content

moderation. And we did everything we could to appease the activists. Extremely messed up. They're trying to destroy free speech in America. Now, this is funny. Elon Musk himself was fact checked. It says multiple advertisers have confirmed they are pausing spending while they see what direction Elon Musk takes the platform. The growing exodus of advertisers comes amid concerns Musk will scale back misinformation and security protections on the platform, which he did. Hank Green, famous YouTuber, says you tweeted a conspiracy theory from a website less credible than the National Enquirer like four days ago. We all need to look inward as well as outward. Elon responds, and therefore Twitter should die. And Hank says, of course not.

It's just it's too simple to attribute this to. I love how he put it's just dot dot dot as if he's talking like, why would you do that? It's too simple to attribute this to activists when advertisers are given reasons to be cautious. You wield a lot of power and it would be very good for Twitter for you to do it more thoughtfully. Hank, these people publicly came out, various media organizations, and told Twitter, I'm sorry, they told the advertisers to pull their ads from Twitter until Elon makes guarantees. So this was like, I think it was Media Matters, a few other organizations. The activists actually publicly went to the advertisers and got them to pull their ads. So it's just like, you know, Elon Musk says, Hank, try a Google search. Seriously.

What was he talking about? Who, Elon? I didn't get the... If you Google search activists are pulling ads from Twitter, you will see numerous high-profile mainstream stories of big activist groups telling advertisers to pull their ads off Twitter. Elon tweets that's happening, and Hank says,

you can't attribute this to activists. The advertisers have real concerns. Like, no, it was literally activists who wrote the letters and sent this their way. Yeah. Even according to the Foundation for Freedom Online, they came out with a report

detailing how specific individuals, specifically Bill Gates, were the ones pouring millions of dollars into dark money funds to attack Elon Musk to make sure that advertisers pull ads out of Twitter.

And today we're seeing General Mills, Audi, Pfizer, of all companies, pulling their ads from Twitter. And today we're seeing General Mills, Audi, Pfizer, of all companies, pulling their ads from Twitter. Yes. What are we going to do without those? I say boycott, but I'll read this.

Elon Musk says, regarding Twitter's reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4 million a day. Everyone exited was offered three months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required. It's true. But I just want to bask in this if you guys want to just feel the emotion.

Angry leftists started screaming at advertisers to get them to drop Twitter. And then Elon had to fire them because he no longer had the money to pay their salaries. So I just want to make sure I really reiterate that. They got fired because of themselves. That's just, it's wonderful to see. They cost themselves their jobs. That's exactly right. They literally cost themselves their jobs.

So now they're going to go home and they're going to cry and they're going to demand the government give them money. Congratulations. What do you do when people don't learn, right? I think the $8 a month tactic is wise because you want to get away from investors. Well, you do what you want to get away from investors. You want to get away from advertisers. You don't want to let other corporations run your corporation or decide the things you got to do. So I'm fully on board with this $8 a month. Well, you never, you know, quote, bite the hand that feeds you. And when it comes to big pharma,

when it comes to Pfizer, they sponsor a lot of news reports. They sponsor a lot of media organizations. They sponsor a lot of social media organizations, which I think it's fair to say and criticize right now that it affects their coverage, their curation of that particular company that keeps pouring in millions and millions of dollars into these platforms that does result in favorable coverage for them. Going back to tribunals. I'm just kidding. So overall, this is a great thing that, yes, advertisers are showing themselves. They're showing their true colors. They're saying, hey, we don't stand by free speech.

We don't stand by something that we can't control. We can't curate towards our personal benefit. You having free speech is a threat to us. So we're going to shut this down and we're going to make sure that we're going to publicly take ads off of Twitter to try to bring it all down. So I think it's clear as day what's happening right now.

And I think that $8 a month model is something that's going to fight against a lot of this bull crap. And why I said from the beginning, I would support it. I would pay for especially if elon musk keeps his promise and only when freeze the unbanned people yes my attitude is when he unbans the political prisoners then i'm going to sign right up and be like thank you good sir it's a good product i was so ready to gamify this website with avatars that you can buy with tokens and get them outfits and stuff i

was just looking over my documents uh the systems that I've built for this. Elon, let's do it, dude. Let's go. I think mostly based off of how Mines does it, my proposal was when you sign up for Twitter, every account is defaulted in the top level safe for work mode, meaning any post that's not safe for work is blurred out unless you click on it to reveal what that post is. But no shadow bans. If you're following someone and their post is it breaks the rules, it gets just blurred. And then you have to choose. It'll say this post broke the safer work

rules and maybe not safer work. You click it. Twitter actually has something like this, but you don't need to suspend or ban people if the rule break is like hate speech or whatever, or maybe like it's something, some kind of offensive thing. So the way I see it is if you break the rules, your single individual post is blurred. If you break the rules three times, your whole account is default into the second tier, not safe for work category. People can go into their accounts and put, always show me not safe for work category, people can go into their accounts and put always show me not safe for work posts. And then everyone is identical.

Or they can stay in the safe for work mode. And then every post from you will still appear in their feed with your name, but they have to click it to see it. That way advertisers don't appear next to it unless the person chooses to have it appear next to them. That's not the company's fault. More importantly, if someone lands in not safe for work mode from violating the rules, you can have it be that ads don't appear next to these posts. It's that simple. And then when you get put into this

filtered mode, it lasts, depending on the severity of the rule break, between one and three months, unless you commit a crime. Then you are off the platform, depending on the severity of the crime, for as long as the punishment of that crime is. So like basically, if you commit a crime, you go to prison. We get rid of your account once you're out of prison and paid your debt. Then you get your account back. It'll be not safe, not safe for work mode for three months and then restored. And then someone said, what about people who are already banned? All of their accounts instantly get reactivated, but are in not safe for work mode for three

months and then instantly restore to a normal account no shadow banning no algorithmic restrictions the only change is it's blurred or it's not and someone can just click it and it unblurs good move yeah mines has a lot of that implemented already with the not exactly work stuff and but but the problem is this isn't about that for twitter the problem is they want you gone. If you say something like communism is bad, they want you gone. Who do you mean? Who's they?

Like the establishment left the cult. They just destroyed their own jobs. They would rather see Twitter explode than lose this political power. You saw this kind of play out over the debate over blue check marks, right? There is something deeply offensive about the idea of people being able to buy one as opposed to them being awarded based on what is essentially prestige matt iglesias i think is one of the worst analysts of our time uh did this thread and he argued the opposite he's like trust me he's lying journalists don't think that the

blue check is prestigious why are they freaking out over this no no no no i can tell you for a fact having worked advice absolutely that it was like when i when i started advice people asked me like oh do you want to get verified they're like let's put in the call make it happen and that's literally i think what they did was they emailed and then i was verified boom like that yeah it's a social status and personality absolutely and they lorded over you but but it's not even that we had i think it might have been fresh and fit i'm not sure if it was them but they said when you're verified on instagram you're you get dms you dm you dm a woman on instagram and you're verified it's like you get a date the verification everyone knows what it means these journalists only like a year ago actually one guy recently tweeted i'm verified on twitter with 30 000 followers don't f with me

and he was like talking about, it's a product. Like some company did him wrong. And so then his response was, I am verified with followers. And I will, they absolutely view it as a status symbol. 100%. As a social media developer, it is so funny to watch people obsess over their social media stuff. Because it is, you're a button click away from being zeroed out,

just so you know when you use social media stephen king what did he say that they should be paying us he's right though they should be and elon's agreed to do it so twitter is one of the only platforms that doesn't pay its top creators so that's a good point yeah i i they started showing you view count on your tweets on mobile or whatever and it's like my tweets get hundreds of thousands of views or whatever. So Twitter is relying on me to generate interest in being on the platform. And then I get nothing for it. That's why they did the verification thing, because it was a way to not pay people, but trick them to be active on the platform.

Right. I mean, it worked. And you see how taking it away from them is making them so angry. I agree with it. I love the idea. It's going gonna be awesome so one of the challenges with verification the reason why they made it exclusive was because they couldn't afford to to look at everyone's id there's just too many people charging eight bucks elon can hire people to actually do the verification process and then what you do when you get verified is like you

show an id in a credit card or something something like like that. I think it's like an ID. For me, because Vice did it, Vice just said, you're good. And they said yes. Yeah. But there are other people who, like you'll wake up one day and it'll be like, hey, we're verifying you. It was, hey, it's happening. And oh, and then they ask you to send your ID or something to prove it. I say anyone can do it. If you have a business, you just submit plain as day.

And then we know your business is the official account because someone at twitter confirmed your account that's all it means it's just verifying the official account so that if you see another tim pool they know that you're the one that has the check mark that's the point of verification and then you don't need to appease advertisers you have advertisers sure great but you don't need them you're not dependent on them you're you know pfizer in uh, they spent $2 billion on advertisement. That's a lot of money. Not on Twitter, just in general. I got to say, too, to be honest, I did an ad for Will of the People, and it had really great impact.

I was impressed. On Twitter? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It traveled off of Twitter, got millions of hits for not that much money, and then I ended up seeing results on other platforms from people who had heard the song. And I was like, wow, it's actually, I'm kind of surprised because I thought Twitter would be bad. Let's do it again. I'm sure Elon would appreciate the investment.

Now imagine what $2 billion does. Oh, for sure. I mean, I think we did like five, I think it was like five grand in ads and got like millions of hits. I was shocked by that. That's crazy. And we are doing with the new song, with Genocide doing we have a company handling it so i don't know exactly what's going on but they they sent me like here's the things we're going to be running and i'm like yeah yeah do whatever but i'm looking forward to it um with elon musk coming out and doing this stuff it's a good sign i'm totally down for advertising on

twitter i will sign up for twitter blue the moment he actually unbans the political prisoners. Because otherwise, it's just like, you know, dude, don't, don't, it's Jack Dorsey all over again. He told me to my face, we're going to create a path to redemption. And then he never did. They never had any interest in doing it. And it's insane because why not just let Milo come back on the platform?

Like, no, seriously, why not? Be like, hey, you were banned for six months. We're sending you this email to let you know we're going you were banned for six months we're sending this email to let you know we're going to restore your account and we're asking you to follow these rules if you don't follow the rules we will just have to ban you again we're hoping that you agree and then they'd get a power user back but they're it's ideologically driven they just want the political victory but but jack was you know a symbol and and jack also didn't get rid of the human rights team so so you know props to him because again everyone get rid of the human rights team. Elon Musk did. So, you know, props to him.

Because, again, everyone's freaking out. The human rights. They don't understand what the team actually did, the larger effects of it. And it was a net negative to everyone. Let's exemplify exactly what happened. To help you understand why what Elon Musk is doing is so important, I have a tweet here from, what is this, Luke Rudkowski. I heard about that guy.

Luke, we are changed. He tweeted, what kind of dystopian nonsense is this bull-ish? The Twitter fact check of the White House got fact check on Facebook as missing context. This is what Elon Musk is fixing. The White House put out a tweet that said seniors are getting the biggest increase in their social security checks in 10 years through President Biden's leadership. There was a flag, a tag posted on that on that tweet that said, actually, this is because of Richard Nixon and the increases due to inflation. It's automatic. So the White House deleted the tweet.

Luke shared this image and Facebook, I should say AFP, labeled it as misleading post, claiming Twitter started fact-checking Biden. When you have partisan actors working on your fact-checking, this is what they do. But when Twitter fires them, the legitimate fact-check resulted in the White House deleting their tweet. Yep. And, you know, I got a warning about this on my personal Facebook page. All I tweeted was the photo of what happened on Twitter saying, now this is a fact check. Just being like, hey, this is pretty incredible that this happened on Twitter. And now they're warning me that my posts could be moved lower in the newsfeed. I mean, they're already pretty low

in the newsfeed. They get very little engagement, that people are less likely to see them because I shared a photo of what was going on here. Again, this is the fact checkers at war here. And when you're seeing this in our social media landscape, this actually gives me a lot of optimism. It gives me a lot of hope to see this larger battle of ideas finally playing out in such an absurd way where Facebook fact checkcheckers are fact-checking a Twitter fact-check.

They're helping Biden. Yeah. This is the crazy thing. If Twitter was to remain the same without Elon Musk, they would not have gotten fact-checked this way. They would not have deleted the tweet. They were lying to the American people. But on Facebook,

you've got this one organization called Lead Stories. They've published fake news about me more than once and they had to retract it because they put these fake. There was one. I did a story around the 2020 election and it said something like Republicans send slate of electors to cast a vote for Trump. They flagged it as fake news. And they said the Republicans don't have electors. They didn't win. And I said the Republicans did send a group they called the slate of electors. didn't win and i said the republicans did send a group they called the slate of electors the first 30 seconds of the video was me saying these are not the official slate of electors being sent by republicans they didn't even watch the video they fact checked it

and they got my channel demonetized and damaged by lying they don't even do this is this is the game and you can see it happening right now on Luke's Facebook, on Luke's Twitter. It happened so many times it's infuriating to even keep up with because there's dozens of events when either it's CNN issuing a fake copyright claim against me, taking down my live streaming abilities. Whether it's Reuters saying that my photo from Davos and all the private jets wasn't real, even though it was an actual photo from Davos. I could keep going on and on how reality is just being manipulated in a way to attack people who just try to give a different perspective, a different side of the story. If you're anti-establishment, you're going to be dinged. You're going to be punished. You're going to be downranked in the algorithm and put in the cyber gulags for daring to express an opinion that these people don't like. And that's absurd. And this is

an abuse of power by these big tech social media companies that are really run by intelligence agencies. These people think that if Republicans win, the Republicans will arrest their children and murder them. Now, I'm sure not all of them think that, but enough of them probably working at Facebook do. And they're saying, I have to do this to save democracy fact check false even though i know it's true it's real for them absolutely yeah i think

that's what makes them so dangerous and and so willing to to do this kind of thing maybe maybe donald trump will bring back the institution the mental institutions and uh but not in the you know i don't want any negative ones. I want ones that actually help people. I don't like the idea that we send medically ill people, you know, addicted people to prison. People who are unwell need help. They need compassion, understanding. So when someone comes out and calls themselves frog self and thinks the Republicans are taking children and murdering them, it's like you are suffering from a delusion. We're not mad at you because of this. We don't hate you because of this, but you are a danger to yourself and to

others. And to allow you to go on social media and organize other people who are suffering is going to, it's going to hurt more than just yourselves. So what we're going to do is it's called a 5150, a temporary psychological hold so that we can assess. You know, I think there's real challenges to allowing the government the power to lock someone up like that. But there's also a balancing act of what do you do when people are legitimately mentally ill and being given positions of power as opposed to being given help so they can get their head straight? Well, I think we've fetishized what is essentially mental illness in many cases. I mean, like transgenderism is obviously one of these things. Until recently, it was understood to at least be indicative of some kind of underlying...

I think in the DSM-5, it's considered a mental disorder. I think they distinct that from... It's distinct from illness. Yeah. I don't know. Well, the point is that we've not only normalized it, but we glorify it. We encourage that kind of behavior. In other words, we encourage mental illness.

Yeah. And where these things actually require compassion instead of glorification or simply just actually abusing these people somehow. No, I completely agree. Specifically, we have the neurodivergent trend. You're familiar? You're not familiar with it? Is that like a fancy way of saying autistic or something? Neurodivergent means you're suffering from a mental disorder or a mental illness.

So this starts, I think it starts on Tumblr, where people are like- Everything bad starts on Tumblr. Yeah. Somebody would be diagnosed with ADHD or Asperger's. They would say, I'm neurodgent, like meaning your brain is different. They would say that it's not bad to be away from like the norm. And like, no, but here's the problem. All of these things start from a correct place of, you know, we don't hate you for being

divergent. Like if you're overweight, I don't hate you. I want you to get healthy. You know, I'd say, you know, cut out the carbs. I did. I lost a lot of weight. You know, just I want you to be healthy and happy. I look, I grew up skateboarding.

If you really want to feel good, go to a skate park. There's a lot of snooty people, something that skate. But if you go to a skate park and you're really bad at skating and everyone can see that you're really bad and then you finally land your first trick, the whole park erupts. People are screaming and cheering. If you go to a skate park and there's like pros, the best of the best skateboarding

and all you can do is a humble kickflip and you're trying for an hour and you can't get it and then you go up the pyramid and you do a kickflip and it's the worst, it's the ugliest in the world but you get it, everyone's gonna start screaming and cheering and high-fiving, and it's the worst, it's the ugliest in the world, but you get it,

everyone's going to start screaming and cheering and high-fiving you. Because it's about you. It's about you doing well and doing better. That's how I view things. When I see people who are doing bad or whatever, I want to see them do well. And then I want them to mind their own business so I can mind mine. But on social media, the exact opposite happens of what you just described. Because when you're not doing well, when you're afraid someone, when you're delusional, when

you're paranoid, when you have a mental disorder, you're then praised. You're then congratulated. You're then even promoted in the algorithm, which has, we have to acknowledge the elephant in the room. And whether it's Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google. Especially TikTok. Especially this instant kind of glorification, this kind of algorithm that has been running our lives. We have to acknowledge that it has had an extremely net negative impact on humanity

and its mental health to the point where we are reaching a point that there's no going back from where people are losing their minds and still somehow deciding it to turn it into some kind of content where they turn the selfie camera on and still try to glorify it somehow. And that's nonstop what you see on Instagram, nonstop what you see on TikTok. And whether it's adultery, whether it's degenerate behavior, whether it's just behavior that's

extremely negative for the individual, all of that is glorified on social media. And we should really be taking a step back from that and saying, hey, we should really decide what is going to be happening here with this impact on society. I think anorexia is a really good example of something we all know and understand is a bad thing, right? It's a bad, it's a negative behavior. What's really interesting is to see how anorexia was spread through basically peer groups in a thing that's called social contagion, that basically one girl would become anorexic and then her friends would become anorexic. And then through social media and group chats and things like that, other people who are outside of the immediate friend network

would then also become anorexic, right? Because the idea was to get their bodies to conform with some standard, okay? But the difference is that we knew that things like anorexia were spreading through peer contagion, through social networks, but we always knew that it was a bad thing. We always knew that anorexia was something to be treated, not something to be glorified. And so you can basically take this idea of social contagion and apply it to like, you know, transgenderism, which I keep coming back to or whatever.

Like there's so many other things that fall under neurodivergent, I don't know. And as opposed to with anorexia, which we acknowledge is bad, we glorify it now, right? Like when someone is skinny, like that's kind of synonymous with having anorexia. We don't do that when someone is overweight or trans or whatever, or has some other weird thing like ADHD. We glorify these things and it continues to spread through mimesis. And so these are anorexia is a mental disorder. I'm assuming it's in the DSM-5. This is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition. And this includes gender

dysphoria. So the challenge that we have, I think, is you get banned for bringing this stuff up. Yes. You'll say something like, hey, gender dysphoria is listed as a mental disorder in the DSM-5. There was this big push from activists to get it delisted so that it would no longer be considered a disorder. And then what happened was a bunch of prominent activists said, stop. If you get this delisted, you can't get prescriptions for it anymore. It needs to be a medically recognized disorder so that people can go to doctors and get treatment for it so they were like actually in their activism for like i guess the the status of of being considered normal i

suppose they didn't want to be associated with a disorder they almost lost their ability to get to get uh treatment i think i keep. I keep coming back to the radium fad a few decades ago. More than a few decades. We started applying radium to everything. Obviously watches and porcelain and things like that.

But people also started to... It actually wasn't that... It's not as long ago as you think it was. The women who were doing the painting on the watches, would brush their gums and their faces, and then what they would do is they would smile and their teeth would

glow, and then their jaws would fall off a few years later. They called them radium girls. Here's a, look up radio, the radio endocrinologist. Here's a really good example for our time. For a while, it was believed that if you were a woman you could take a radium suppository and insert it into your body and it would it would improve your female functions wow and on the other hand the radio endocrinologist was a credit card sized uh

device that as a man you would tuck under your scrotum when you went to sleep at night and the idea was is that the radium would make you more virile that if you had you know problems what with with mr pool down there that it would help you um quite literally doing the opposite and so when you go to sleep you tuck it under there right and uh obviously all this did was sterilize people really similar to the stuff that we're seeing now right in the end they're just sterilized yeah but but the the really interesting part of this was is that physicians believed in it yeah physicists believed in it uh members of the u.s government created entire institutes like the national radium institute people used to drink mercury right but and here's here's a really another really

interesting aspect of it in order to sell this stuff like how do i get you to tuck some radium People used to drink mercury. it desirable to start taking radium suppositories or use the radiochronology because you want to be a real man, don't you? With like a nuclear boner or something. You know, that sounds like marketing. You know, they came up with a product. They said, this is great. We're going to make tons of money off of this. Humans aren't, well, I suppose, depending on how you put it,

humans are either stupid or they're not stupid. For the entirety of the planet, we're actually really smart. But who knows what's out there uh yeah dogs lick their own butts you know what are we up against it's really quick a nuclear i say nuclearized boners is is a great marketing term yeah it was and it was super effective and a lot of guys were sterile humans are not much smarter than they were actually i think i think what i read was humans are not smarter than they were 40,000 years ago. We just know more.

We've accumulated more data, created data repositories, so when a new human is born, all of that knowledge has been collected and they can read through it and learn it very, very quickly and then specialize in it. That means several hundred years ago, they would drink mercury because they wanted to cure syphilis and they didn't know what else to do

and they thought it worked and they were dying and then we discovered penicillin and antibiotics and then all of a sudden we started curing these a lot of these diseases today or so going back then with the the radium scrote tuck thing they are there are just people who are like i'm gonna make money sounds good to me they don't have the data and then we get the data and then we're like hey maybe you shouldn't do that because of making your balls. But it was the marketing that they were doing off of people's manhood. They were looking up. No,

I'm just right. Right. But what I mean is my point was that they used that man, the manly stuff was marketed for everything. Like eat your steak like a real man. There's that famous ad that went viral on Twitter of the husband spanking the wife because she bought bad coffee. Yeah. And it's like a lot of that marketing existed no matter what the product was so like

browbeating people based on their sexuality as a marketing tool they still do they did no but look at the gillette commercial remember that one yeah don't be a toxic man yeah well my my point with the radium thing is is that it was a moment where it was like, well, this is what the science says. The science says that this stuff is going to make you more of a man or more of a woman. And we just didn't know. And then the humans were the study. Well, they thought they did know. That's my point.

The same way that we think we do know now everything about- Did they have short-term results? Is that why they thought it was- Just kind of ask about that. It was like years later, the women's teeth would fall out. Their jaws would swell and get cancerous and fall off. I imagine a tiny bit of radiation is probably good for your body. No.

Yeah, it's heat. Well, I mean, ionizing radiation is not the same as heat. The sun gives us some. You're talking about. You want it a little bit. I'm talking about. You're talking about thermal radiation, not ionizing radiation. All right?

So your cell phone is non-ionizing radiation. I believe it uses what? Like microwaves to send signals that don't destroy your dna ionizing radiation rips your dna to shreds causing your body uh to be unable to replicate proteins and then you die so there's a bit different the national radium institute was founded in 1913 uh by a dr howard kelly a physician at johns hopkins and james s douglas who used to work uh for the federal government so let's 1913 by a doctor, Howard Kelly, a physician at Johns Hopkins, and James S. Douglas, who used to work for the federal government.

So ionizing radiation is a result of too much radiation. If radiation gets too insane, then it starts to ionize. So the radiation you're referring to, I think, is like electron decay, when the electrons are firing off because the element is unstable. Hey, don't be mad at Ian. He's onto something. He's trusting the science. He's trusting the medical experts and the government from from day one am i and he's doing the right thing according to you know the federal government and the cdc

and the fda i want to he's a man of honor he's doing the right thing here i want to get this one last story in because we're going into we're not going to be here for this weekend we got the midterms coming up white house violated ethics ethics guideline by deleting. I like how they say fat checked, fact checked tweet saying Biden had given American seniors the biggest boost in Social Security. The reason I want to bring this up, first and foremost, the White House violated ethics by deleting public record. But someone super chatted this to us. And forgive me for not remembering your name. They super chatted saying, is it even legal for Biden to delete public records from the White House Twitter account? That's public record. And lo,

you were correct. So here we go. This is how, I guess, broken the White House is. They try passing off a lie. And when they get caught, they violate ethics to try and get away with it. Now it's only made it worse, which is another example of the Biden administration. They're digging their hole deeper. Someone should make a sitcom about this guy you know a sitcom about biden i'd watch that just hey wait wait there is add a laugh track yeah add a laugh track to you ever see um those viral videos of like friends with no laugh track yeah it's so weird and it's really creepy we could totally take a biden speech and just add laughs and it would be like a comedy or you know biden walking around or whatever i'm kind of like i i was more comfortable when they were lying to me and i didn't know with george bush jr in the iraq war at least then i was like

oh they lied everyone kind of agreed hey they shouldn't have done that we've mostly yelled back like don't do that anymore now it's like when it's happening in real time and it's becomes apparent i'm i'm guess i'm glad it's happening out in the open now because where you can see it and we can criticize it i think that's an important part of this process it's happening in the open like because it was always happening i guess i criticize it too as another question yeah as long as you don't make unfounded claims yeah according to who according to them according to me sir to them man seeing the the ivory tower crumble when donald trump got elected the first time i likened it to there's an ivory tower and there you know the left-wing populists and the right-wing populists

come up to the doors and they're yelling rabble rabble rabble and then you know pelosi and schumer and the clintons and obama they're looking out the window with their pinkies out drinking wine going, oh, the rabble is trying to get in the building. Bernie Sanders knocked on the door. They splashed water on his head and said, get out of here. And he went, oh, OK, I'm sorry about that. And then he left. And then the other group of right wing populists leave, come back with a bull. And then they look down going, oh, crap. And then Donaldald trump who's the bull smashes the door in and starts rampaging through the ivory tower and i found it hilarious you know there are people who are like donald trump is a fascist destroying this country and i was like i'm just imagining all of these uppity elites laugh like like terrified that donald trump

is doing these things and it makes me happy yeah that's all i can say whatever it's not my choice but now i'm looking at where we are with with twitter since then it's like sledgehammer has been taken to the base of the ivory tower and it's on the verge of crumbling and they're and they're looking out the window going stop stop if you let them keep doing this democracy will end and it's like okay dude you're up there we're're down here. Sorry, I'm not listening. So, you know, I'm kind of looking forward to Tuesday. The White House, they can violate ethics all day and night. It's the desperation. It's become an ugly perfume. How about that?

So should we sue or should somebody sue the White House for violating an ethics clause? Well, I don't know how you handle this. I mean, maybe we need to make sure that if any Republicansans do win we're screaming in their faces like figuratively no you need inquiries we want subpoenas we want criminal referrals we have to wait until facebook fact checks this so we know exactly what to think about it and then we can move forward confidently knowing that we're we're appropriately informed judiciously the white house should keep the tweet up and then the fact check should be there as public record and they should comment on the fact check they but they can't the issue was biden accidentally said the high inflation is my fault they said social security is going up because of biden's leadership but it was only going up

it was triggered by an automatic it was an automatic trigger due to high inflation so he basically said that high inflation you're suffering from is because of me. Whoops! You need to delete that. So they were like, we gotta get rid of that. They used the phrase through Biden's leadership. So you could define that in a couple of ways. One is like, through his hard work, this happened as a result of his hard work.

Or you could say like, yeah, through 2022 we did all this. It wasn't like 2022 did it to us. We just did it through the process of his him being leader so in that sense you could argue that yes social security did go up through the period of his leadership but i think that they were insinuating that he just brought up so much more attention to this bullcrap they just literally i would they uh barbara streisand this to such a high level that we're still talking about how they inflated the economy to the point that they're giving out record Social Security checks.

I mean, this is beautiful. It's awesome. And again, this is mainly because of the change at Twitter. I don't think this would happen if Elon Musk wasn't at Twitter. No, they won't stop the community. There would be no. Exactly. Agreed. twitter no they won't stop the community the community check i would think exactly agreed and then and then someone would tweet out the white house is lying about the social security

thing and it's only happening because of inflation and then it would be locked it would get a red exclamation point and it would say election interference fake news that's what they just did that to jesse kelly i'm pretty sure they locked one of his tweets he said something like if you can't count the votes in a day, there's cheating or whatever. That's right. Well, dude, people are allowed to have opinions. And if someone's like, I don't like it that we have a month of voting. Sorry, we're going to lock your account because of that.

There's there's that's that's clearly bunk. But I got to tell you, Elon Musk has gotten rid of the ethics, accountability, transparency, curation, and moderation. So what I will say going into this weekend is going to be very interesting because there's nobody at Twitter. The offices are all closed and everyone's locked out until Monday. The only people who are still there are critical infrastructure. Does that include content moderation? There's pros and cons. That means you

can be algorithmically locked out of your account and there's nobody there to fix it. It could also mean that there's nobody there to lock you out of your account right before the midterm elections. It's a free-for-all. Yeah, so we might, this is kind of like It's like 2016. It's like the

powers, the meme magic was suppressed and locked away by dark forces. And then Elon Musk, he comes into this tomb carrying a torch and he sees this large green frog-shaped rock. And then he strikes it with a hammer and then it cracks and then green meme magic bursts. We may actually see a glimpse of the power of the meme magic from 2016 with all of these people being removed from Twitter. It's going to be like it was where people are posting jokes constantly. The memes go viral. Everyone's laughing, having a good time. And then MAGA Republicans get memed into office.

Maybe. It's the midterm. If Elon Musk pulls this off, 2023 is going going to be crazy 2024 is going to get even crazier oh yeah the memes the great meme war three is upon us i'm just here for the memes i don't care who wins i don't care who's in office as long as we just have the memes we i got i got an idea for uh seamus for freedom tunes it's a guy pulling up like an old computer laptop and like blowing the dust off of it and wiping it away and opening it up. It's a guy pulling up like an old computer laptop and like blowing the dust off of it and wiping it away and opening it up.

And there's a big folder that says memes. And then he double clicks it. He's like, we're back. You can dust them off. Bring them out. Bring out all the old memes. Do you guys ever see the Donald Trump CAC meme magic mini documentary? Yes, actually.

It's been a while. I have. Yeah. Just talking about how like the ancient god kak was a frog and then oh yes kak was world of warcraft dude that's so crazy yeah it's great i vaguely i think i remember this stuff see we see this is the crazy thing there was a brief moment where we started to understand the power of memes and i don't mean literal magic i mean community organizing but then this this video came out talking about how people memeing this stuff was actually having an impact on politics they destroyed it and now we're going

back to this curated top-down world that sucks like when there were three tv channels you can't stop the meme though that's why i came in blazing about graphene when i started on the show and i just i wanted to set a meme standard i'm the graph i'm the meme guy i'm the graphing guy now when you think of graphene you think of me. That was my intention. I memed it into existence. Maybe I'm being a little bodacious. Sorry.

No, no, no. When people say things like, you know, Twitter's not real life, I think it's a misunderstanding of the dynamic that the Internet has with relation to politics and things like that. Like, actually, the things that happen on platforms like Twitter can ultimately influence, they do influence elections. And otherwise, the left would not be trying so hard to maintain control over Twitter if that wasn't the case, right? And I mean, you're seeing this in the mainstream.

People are saying that, you know, what potential changes Musk can bring to the platform are a threat to the outcome of the— Ben Collins actually was the one that said this, that it could threaten the midterm elections. But if Twitter, a change in management, has the power to threaten elections, then that means that Twitter already has the control over this and somehow control over the discourse in a way that's consequential. So I think, yeah, I think the meme magic

is really just getting at this relationship between the internet and reality, which I think it's established at this point. I would just say it's not even just the left. It's really the Department of Homeland Security, the DOJ, the FBI, that are truly calling the shots here and saying, this idea is banned. Sure, but I think that, I mean, the left, it's a category that we use to define something,

but ultimately, like the left is a counter-establishment, you know, countervailing forces collapsed because all of its views align with the views of the federal government. And, I mean, to your point about this, I think in the last two years or so, Twitter removed accounts for what it said was, quote, undermining faith in the NATO alliance. In NATO?

Yeah. It's on Twitter's official page. It says undermining faith in the NATO alliance. In NATO? Yeah. It's on Twitter's official page. It says, Undermining Faith in the NATO Alliance. Well, a lot of, the Atlantic Council also plays a lot of fact-checking roles and curation roles. They censored a lot of people critical of the U.S. military-industrial complex many times.

Many organizations, many individuals, many reporters coming out, and it's the same as we saw on the corporate media. There's no anti-war voices there, and they're building a world on the corporate media there's no anti-war voices there and they're building a war a world where there's going to be no anti-war voices anywhere right so yes and inconveniently the like it just happens to be the case that the left's views and tendencies align with the establishment's views so yeah but it's even further with the dhs coming to them be like we're going to do this now. We're going to go to Super Chats.

If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com. But also head over to LosingMyMind.com and check out the new song, Genocide, that we put together for you guys. I really, I want, again, to say thank you to everybody. We had a little celebration at the beginning of the show, which you probably saw, because we hit number one on iTunes, displacing Taylor Swift, who currently has the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100. I don't think we're going to hit number one. Definitely not.

But I think we may actually chart on the Hot 100. We'll see. With your support, if you guys buy the song, wherever you can, you can watch the YouTube video, the link in the description below, or go to losingmymind.com, or just buy it on iTunes. It would really help. And we're going to be doing a big push all next week to get this song on. I appreciate the people who referred to it as a red pill music video because it mocks the media and has other points in it. So appreciate that. Let's read some super chats. Koba Corey says, hot take. All speech is free speech. Anyone who starts to police it starts to determine

what's acceptable in their own morals only police criminal activity including obvious violent threats here here yep grofty says stay calm and tweet about it that's a line from the music video it's one of the graphics very very cool all right we'll grab some more andrew ho says how please have dr shiva on your show as he was the one through his lawsuit found the backdoor censoring portal at the intercept wrote about then you will learn the whole story uh that would be great actually i'd be i'd be very interested in that um i think uh yeah yeah we had to mention the other day the other day people were talking about his name exactly as right yeah you know uh genocide is one of two alternative rock songs in the top 100 only two alternative rocks in the hot in the hot 100 in the itunes one oh really what's the other one number 80 something

it's called uh bones by imagine dragons and that's kind of old song alternative rock oh wow so we're like bringing alternative butt rock back hell yeah called it butt rock well that's what it's been that that was them trying to insult only ever wanted but it's funny because like bro you insulted it but we got it's like almost two million views and it and it's and it hit billboard like number two in sales now we're we're number one on itunes so we'll see what ends up what happens on billboard but this one's more like i don't know what you describe it as like pop rocky pop punk yeah circus rock i don't know about sir i don't know about that i feel the circus maybe if we had some bigger drums in some like accordion or something yeah all right kermit gilla says

wasn't a huge fan of the last two songs but enjoyed the release today the others were just not my style good job tc irl crew there are relatively different kinds of songs you know and and a lot of the songs we have we have a bunch of songs that are relatively different kinds of songs, you know, and a lot of the songs, we have a bunch of songs that are very different, but, you know, we're just going to release what we release. We'll see what comes next. Man, I got a bug in my face. Get out of here.

All right. A gnat. Miguel Olvera says, Genocide is an unironically amazing song, guys. Sharing it with everyone I know. Congrats on the number one spot. Also, Harley Pasternak's government ties are super sus. Yeah, we talked about this. This is what we were talking about before the show.

This is the guy that Kanye alleges tweeted out that Harley was saying, I'm going to put you back on medicine and throw you back into zombie land. Basically, I'm going to lobotomize you. That's nuts. And this guy has connections with, you were saying, the Canadian government? He has connections to the Canadian military. Yes. Interesting. It's wild. Yes. Yeah. Interesting.

It's wild. Celebrity doctor. Grofty says, genocide. Losing my mind was on repeat. Tom Tucker, channel you. Ian, that was epic. So in the video, I'm basically doing a spoof where I'm Tucker Carlson. And then I'm like watching these other people.

And I'm like, you like, Alex Jones is there. It's really, really fun. What's that guy, Bill O'Reilly? Pull a Bill O'Reilly. There's no Bill O'Reilly. When Alex comes in and you're like, shut it off, turn it off. Oh, right, right, right, right.

Bill O'Reilly. Yeah, Alex Jones hacks the feed and I'm yelling. I'm like, get him out of here. What's going on? We'll do it live. That was fun to make. That was fun to make. All right, Andrew Yu says,

in your new song, Genocide, what is the symbolic meaning of the quicksand over the eyes as opposed to the other liquids and eye coverings? It's a reference to you are slowly sinking in fake news and lies,

and eventually it goes over your face and you can't see anything anymore and you're living in a world of darkness. That's how I view the average person. They've lived in a world for seven years of Russiagate. They believe this is reality. They are well over their heads in the quicksand of fake news.

How do you get someone out of that? It's very difficult. Someone who is passively absorbing information, they're easier to pull out. They're kind of just sitting there stuck a little bit. But someone who's sunk all the way down? Encourage them to keep calm, throw them them a stick and then let them lay there and but my big part is stay calm if you struggle you sink faster that's right all right christian

jamagotian says npr published audio recording of an abortion procedure made me sick to listen to the derangement never ceases to amaze me thoughts i am really glad they did because wow yeah it's that it was like the voiceovers might be the worst thing about it yeah because she's likening it she's basically likening it to like childbirth essentially when when you hear stories from the pro-choice crowd about abortions they make it seem like it's no big deal you go in and you don't even realize and you're done this video made it very obvious that it was a it was a taxing and disturbing procedure where you hear like a vacuum turn on and the woman's groaning the woman is groaning the whole time in agony and they're like you can do this come on come on you can do

it and she's like oh it's just like it's so if any if like you know what they're turning people pro-life hearing that like okay no more, no more of this. This is scary. I mean, it's like seeing genitals that are constructed out of people's forearms. Yeah, that's also disgusting. Show someone that. Show someone a picture of that. The thing that comes to mind is death cult. It's a little term.

Familiar with it. Mark Sauce says, Hey Luke, can you make a shirt with a hammer? Throw a turtle from Mario with David as the turtle and Paul as Mario. My goodness. I have some very spicy shirts, but that would be a little bit too spicy

for everyone. But again, still at the end of the day, someone got hurt here. It's not good to celebrate that, so no. Derek Verbrugge says, Breitbart falsely accused a libertarian journalist of assaulting Republican candidate

Don Bolduc. Do you have any comments on the story? I did comment on the story earlier today. And so far, I've seen dozens of people send me a 10-second video of Don Bolduc running out towards an empty lot. There's like a crowd of people to his right.

And then two guys run up to his left and he starts pointing at one of them and then the cops run in. If you think that's enough video for me to do a report or make a determination, then you are incorrect. Because just like with the Covington kids, when everyone started sharing this minute or two minute long video of a kid

standing in front of a Native American and everyone's like look at the horrible thing he did. I was like, bro, I have no idea what's happening here. Now everyone's saying, look, here's a video where a guy doesn't do something. And I Native American, and everyone's like, look at the horrible thing he did. I was like, bro, I have no idea what's happening here. Now everyone's saying, look, here's a video where a guy doesn't do something. And I'm like, and? I'm sorry, dude.

If the guy was falsely accused, I have no idea. I wasn't there, and I have no evidence. Yeah, the guy's speaking out publicly and is saying he did not assault him and that the exact opposite of that happened and that he's going to be pressing charges

and a slander lawsuit against, what's his name uh don the press i think he's going for the press or whatever but but don also specifically he's saying as well so here's the issue i i have you i can't look at a 10 second video and then tell you wow look at that bad thing that happened i will never do that so what's the possibilities i don't know The report that I saw said that he was someone swung at him as he was going to the debate as before the debate. I see a video of a guy clearly leaving something. And then I see him point a guy out. Is it possible that something happened prior and he went, hey, officers, that's the guy I told you about. So look, I'm sorry if this dude's being falsely accused. I have no idea. I'm not going to accuse anybody of doing anything. That's all I can really say. But I will tell you what's really annoying is when a bunch of

activists spam me saying it's a fact, but I'm not going to give you any proof. The absence of proof is proof we're right. I can't do anything with that. So, you know, like, guys, I get it, man. I'm not a fan of people lying and making fake news, but there's nothing I can do. So, all right. Andy Deb says, congrats topping Swift. I bought my copy on iTunes today. Great song, even better video. Thank you very much.

I appreciate it. All right, all right. Let's try and, I do want to talk about things other than the song that people really like it. Rose says, cheers, you guys. Love the song. Best part was watching Maddow say things she would never say on the air the truth prost seeing her smile yeah we we were trying to figure out for the third verse which is explicitly the media explicitly

admitting that they're a machine meant to manipulate you lie to you and control your mind trying to figure out who should be the one to do it you know micah brzezinski i thought would be funny because she had that famous line where she said it. But then I was like, I think Taylor Lorenz is the right person to sing that line. Because she's more contemporary for like people in our age group, you know, especially with the libs of TikTok stuff. I really like seeing Chris Cuomo smile, even though it was just a few words. You just, our age group, what do you mean by that? Because we don't know how old Taylor is.

No, no, no. I'm saying for millennials, we know who she is. It's a joke about the fact that she may be 60 years old. I have no idea. Well, I think, I think she's like in her 40s. Is that what she is? I think her wiki says like she was born circa some year. But she lied.

She tweeted out that she was 40 something and it confused a bunch of people. And now it's like, no one knows. I think she's, I think she's, she's probably in her early 40s. She might be, she might be 36. I think she's she's probably in her early 40s she might be she might be 36 she's 36 she blocked me well she blocks born and she's born somewhere between 84 and 87 i told you like she's some medieval character right that we have no idea the records are scarce about taylor's I am the one accused but was elbowed by Don Bulldog. It's okay video. Go watch it.

I have watched it. So the Covington Catholic video shows a kid standing right up in the face of a Native American. And there's like 30 seconds to a minute. And then everyone in the world, even conservatives, started attacking this kid. I was sent that and said, bro, I have no idea what this video is. And they're like, people were saying, Tim, Tim, look at what the kid is doing. And I was getting spammed like crazy. And I'm like, what is the kid doing? I don't understand what's going on.

And it turned out, when I finally got a hold of the actual full stream, it was the Native American who actually assaulted the kid. And so, look, bro, I get it. But someone comes to me and says, I elbowed i'm like okay dude i i need evidence and if there's no evidence there's like a single video that's 10 seconds

long doesn't i can't do anything with that i can highlight the story and tell people hey there's this dispute happening check it out that's for sure but i can't make an assessment on it with covington was there an actual assault was that in it no i think covington was worse so it depends uh this was uh in dc i don't know what dc assault law is it could be colloquial assault or legal in illinois assault if you get up in someone's face you've assaulted them battery would be making physical contact in a way that hurts or humiliates i don't know if dc has the same assault in New York. Assault is physical harm done. Meaning in New York, what I was told by cops is you can actually strike a person. But if you don't cause any visible injury or discernible injury, there's no crime, which to me is just nuts because I mean, someone could grab you. But in Illinois, if you are this crazy in Illinois, if I'm 20 feet away from you and I grab a rock and raise my arm up, I've assaulted you.

I have put you within reasonable fear of bodily harm or physical harm. I would think in New York, if you grab someone, that that might be, what would that be? Like if you're holding someone and you're not letting them go, that's different than pushing them. What would that be called? Detainment? Yeah. Detain someone. That would be illegal.

But it also depends if someone has a bruise. If you have a bruise, you could say this person caused it by hitting me here and then that other person is getting arrested with some in some jurisdictions it's just crazy the covington thing was worse in some ways because we had video from the beginning and it just like the charge was that the kid was being disrespectful towards an old man like that was even like national. They ran a story and they said that the Covington Catholic kids spit on the cross by standing there basically and not kowtowing to this Native American man pounding a drum. They took the article down, I think. So we should talk to Nick Salmon at some point. I don't know if you guys know him.

He'd be cool to talk to. Mayonnaise says major tornado outbreak in Texas, Oklahoma oklahoma and arkansas right now prayers and thoughts to those affected sadly i know the dems will be screeching about climate change tomorrow morning yeah we were uh we were in the green room and this is the weirdest thing we were playing music and i was showing i think i was showing you but you're the song yeah and then it auto played a live stream of warning tornadoes are slamming all these places and i was like i was like what's going on? Like,

why are we getting an autoplay? That's not music. And then we were like, Oh, is this live? Like, Oh man, that's crazy.

Yeah. So thoughts and prayers, man. I hope everybody's okay. Yeah. Uh, Jaeger tree says the Paul Pelosi story changing this much and fast makes you talk so much that no one will care by the time the truth drops.

All this info wagging the dog. Yup. Yup. Hard to know, man. All right. Crystal Max says, I love the new song. I was skeptical, I have to admit. Long time listener and just knew you as a passionate politico. Wow, you've proved me wrong. Well, check out Will of the People. You know, it's funny. We put up Will of the People two years ago, almost two years ago to date, to this day. And it's like got a long it's a complex political narrative and storyline. Now we did Only Ever Wanted, which is kind of like the minimal thought process of a song. Like there's there's nothing really expansive about it.

It's just a typical old song about like regret. And that's it. Not complicated. And then we put out this one, which is a bit more complicated, but much, much simpler and overtly political. So we'll see which one does the best. Didn't you write this one like 20 years ago or something? The melody and the rock of it.

Like the guitar part. I think, and then Carter added a bunch to it. We changed, we adapted the lyrics. Simply put, like, there has been an establishment elite machine for a long time. And so writing music, complaining about it for a long time is just like a thing. It's evergreen. Right, yeah, it's like evergreen. But certain parts of it, we like, when we started working on it, we were like, hey, let's modernize. And so people are like yeah it's like evergreen but uh uh certain parts of it we like when we started working on it we were like hey let's let's modernize and so people are like it

sounds like green day it's like yeah i wrote the guitar like a long time ago yeah people heard heard us playing it uh a few years ago on this show on a friday night and so some people commented that they were excited we finally got it done but it's crazy how you know something that was written so long ago again we did update some of it uh but how like it fits so well with the video that we did in terms of criticizing the media and all that stuff all right tim pauls interesting name says hey tim i love the video for losing my mind something weird i released a video on october 13th with the exact same concept thought it was interesting we were thinking of the same idea. It's on my channel. It must

be true by Tim Pauls. I kind of can't believe that's real because your name sounds too much like mine. So if you made a video that's similar, it's just crazy sometimes, right? Denise Ann says, we do not live in a democracy. You are correct.

We don't. Correct. What do we got? Track Media Only says, remember when the left blames someone for something, they are really telling you what they want to do. I agree. When they, when Elon started taking over, we saw these leftists say, he's going to ban us now.

And it's because that's what they would do if they were given the power. They'd ban you. Johnny Atchison says, jordan peterson live last night best line of the night was quote manipulation doesn't benefit you in the long run deception turns reality into a force to be used against you dems will never learn well i mean you can manipulate something without deceiving jordan where you at yeah that's true malinformation was one of the things they're talking about. Real facts that are presented in a false context to trick people. So, oh, man. I think power is the deciding factor. I mean, Musk, like it had to be someone like Musk who

has power, but in his case, it's money that came in and could buy Twitter, you know? So I mean, like I disagree with guys like Peterson that basically, like, inevitably, this whole project collapses. I actually, I think you need people like Musk, you need elites, in other words, in power that they can ultimately change the tide. I don't think that in the market of ideas, things can just naturally win. I think you need a, you need a decisive factor, whether that's someone like Trump, or someone like Musk. This is interesting. Nate Slocum says,

DePap is being held as illegally staying in the US from Canada, will be deported, and will never find the truth. Or suicide. He might commit suicide. I'm just kidding. I don't know about that one.

But I think they'll... Those Canadians, man. We got to close the border. It's dangerous. Legamath again says, if we all get out and vote, we can initiate a process to accomplish in this country

what Elon has accomplished in Twitter. Let us all get out and vote red, not rest on our laurels in overconfidence and not surrender to the black pill of possible fraud or suppression. Completely agreed. Y'all must get your friends, go out and vote.

Tuesday, it's coming up. We're going to be having a long show probably that day we're going to have wings and pizza and drinks and whatever we have a rotating crew and we're going to be talking about all this just having a good time hanging out but uh this is it man all right chris wood says congratulations tim on this red pill song that hit number one lol it would take a fellow homeschooler to bring this to the mainstream well it's all you guys who made it possible. Look, I can sing. I can write a song. Carter can engineer

it. Ian can do backups and then, you know, be the reporter in our video and all that stuff. If nobody watches it, it's nothing. So it really is you guys sharing it, you guys watching it, you guys buying it. When you buy it and push it to the top of the charts, then all of a sudden all these other people start seeing it. They're like, what's this song?

Why is like a pop punky kind of song now a number one there you go people are going to hear it and they're going to be like what's this all about there was a really great super chat that i really want to find uh that man it was just too good let me see if i can uh if i can find it i remember it was was someone complaining in a funny way. I'm gonna, here we go. Got it. There is Aaron Barry.

Tim, I am appalled by your new fake news music video. When you showed a news bar saying fiery but mostly peaceful drone strikes, you clearly showed a manned McDonnell Douglas F-15, not an unmanned drone.

Congrats, man. Great video song. Great video, great song. You are correct. We actually talked about this in the production. I said, maybe we should have it say

airstrike, and then we ultimately, in the edit, when it got to the, near the final version, it still said drone strike, and I was like, no, no, no, no,

it should say drone strike because drone strike is a political concept we're familiar with, and the video is just the video. So I know we did show an F-15, but the idea was to make a commentary on drone strikes, not a commentary on the video we were playing.

Good catch, though. Yeah, very good catch. And calling out a manned McDonnell Douglas F-15. There we go. Group B says Reddit has a premium service with r slash lounge and nobody bats an eye. Elon rolls out Twitter blue with check marks and everyone loses their minds.

I'm glad that AOC went nuts over it. We need the debate. It's better than her just being silent and trying to pass some legislation to screw the guy over. Someone just did a GoFundMe for AOC so she could afford the blue check mark. It's going viral on Twitter.

I tweeted it. A GoFundMe for $8. so she could afford the blue check mark. It's going viral on Twitter. I tweeted it. Go fund me for it. $8. Look, Elon, he doesn't get it. Communists don't want to pay for things. It's simple math. Communist, I want free stuff. Twitter should be free.

Elon says, but we have to pay to make it work. And they go, no, we don't have to pay for it. So, okay, dude, go to Mastodon or whatever. They like to spend your money, but not their money. Well, right. All right. so okay dude go to mastodon or whatever they like to spend your money but not all right you know all right just because i like it says i'm always 15 to 20 minutes late to the stream so i played at 1.5 speed until it catches up to live tonight i thought everyone was drunk talking so slow from the louis the 13th possible but there you go i haven't had alcohol in like the last time we opened the bottle

and in a very long time yeah I think I had like a third of an ounce so it's hitting me Luke stopped you had a fuller glass yeah he did I'm like nursing it very slowly last time I had it was when Lauren Southern

poured a little into a paper cup and then put some honey in it it's illegal in Poland to waste alcohol. Rusty Shackleford says, Luke and Tim, what are y'all wearing on your wrists? Also release your songs on vinyl. We will release the songs on vinyl. We're really excited for that. And these, they're given to you.

And they say spying devices. Yeah, after you complete training at Quantico, everybody gets these special bracelets. They're health monitoring devices and communications devices, but they can also be activated to – it releases a sedative. So if you begin saying the wrong thing, you just collapse. They're just special op devices that – if we mention certain topics or certain individuals here – Wait, wait. Don't say it. It will activate the device.

They're actually whoops. It's called whoop. It's W-H-O-O-P. It's a fitness, don't say it. It'll activate the device. They're actually whoops. It's called whoop. It's W-H-O-O-P. It's a fitness tracker. That's it. But also an NSA spying device. It depends if you give them all your information which I didn't. It tracks your heart rate, your heart rate variability, your calories, your stress,

your strain. Temperature. Respiratory rate. The technocrats are celebrating it does kind of annoy me sometimes but it tells you if you're getting sick before you even realize it and that's amazing so i i woke up and it's like warning your body temperature is elevated and your heart your heart rate variability is low and your recovery is low and i felt fine and i was just like why is my temperature going up so sure sure enough, I went and I slammed vitamin C and zinc. And then by the next day, I had like a light cold.

And then I was like, it probably would have been worse if I didn't start taking the vitamins. And that's cool. I like that it can tell you if you're starting to swell before you feel it. I don't like that it can set your placebo mind to make you think that you're sick when you're not. Well, I've been like doing lot of health stuff, so it's a great way to see if it's working or not working or what I'm doing is going to be good for me or not for me, but don't give them your

private information. I think I'm a Ligma Johnson on here. Fake name, fake address, fake email. Have you found that they're awesome, though, and effective? Yeah. Yeah. All right. We'll grab one more. one more one castle says tim the bigger question here where was luke on the new music video at least have him play the cowbell well you know uh when

we were filming this uh luke i was testing my health with the whoop app and making sure i was recovering from an extensive hard workout i'm'm sleeping! I think you actually had... I was sleeping. You guys were knocking on my door. You're like, I'm like, I just can't. I had bad sleep. Hugh Jennings says you should do an acoustic version of Genocide. Maybe we will. Maybe we'll do a special session

like acoustic version, and then we'll see. My friends, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and help us hit the top spot on Billboard. I mean, we hit iTunes number one in about eight hours, displacing Taylor Swift, who's currently number one on the Hot 100. If every single person right now listening went on iTunes or just went to the link in the description below or I think losingmymind.com if you bought the song. Not just listen to it.

Literally bought it. If the 40 some odd thousand live concurrence bought it, I'm pretty sure that would put us in the top 10. Maybe not. Maybe not. That's bold. But that combined with all the streams and everything, we'd probably do really, really well.

That being said, if every single person who ends up watching this show, it's going to end up being, I think, like three to four hundred thousand spent the sixty nine cents to just buy that song. Not only would that be a lot of money for the company that we'd use to fund more stuff, we would definitely hit number one. So if you like the song and you want to support us and you want to support us producing more songs and even signing on new artists and things like that, definitely go to losing my mind dot com. Find the song on iTunes. The music video on YouTube, there is a link to buy the song, so you can check that out too.

I'm feeling pretty good about this one. I think the response has been really great, so we really do appreciate it. You can smash the like button for this show, subscribe, follow the show at TimCastIRL, follow me at TimCast. Pedro, do you want to shout anything out?

Yeah, just follow me on Twitter and everywhere else, basically at the same handle, at E-M-E-R-T-T-I-C-U-S, Emeriticus. And check out my sub stack at Contra.substack.com. Right on. Carter. You can follow me at CarterBanks4L on Instagram, CarterBanks on Twitter, and same on YouTube.

Pedro, that was great. Thank you so much for coming. Thanks for having me. Celebrate your victories. The conversation ends here, but I have another conversation starting up on lukuncensor.com. I have a forum on there. I just did a video there about the real Skynet,

a creepy video about what's happening in China, coming here to the United States. lukuncensor.com. See you there. Skynet is a real company. It's real software being used in China. That's AI facial identification. That's interesting. It's real software being used in China that's AI facial identification. That's absolutely

terrifying. But in China, they're going to use Skynet for good and it's actually based on the real Terminator Skynet analogy.

I got chills. That's wild. Hey, love you guys. Pedro, good to see you again, man. You too. And have a good weekend.

Take care of yourself. Get some rest. Get some sleep. Get some water. Hydrate. Get some sleep. Make love. Make peace. Have fun. Get some rest. Get some sleep. Get some water. Hydrate. Make love. Make peace.

Have fun. Catch you later. Hey, guys. Surge.com here. I'm at surge.com pretty much everywhere. I just want to say go vote. Please go vote. Rally your friends this weekend.

If you're doing nothing this weekend, talk to your friends. Please go vote. The red wave is not a given. You must go and vote. Please. And I want to just say one thing, too. Like, never forget that Donald Trump won in 2016 and then got three Supreme Court justices who then did a bunch of things you liked. Is it perfect? No.

But, yo, legit, if Trump can win in 2016, whatever you think, all you got to do is get everybody to go out to vote, and then you will be surprised. There's one thing I'm really looking forward to. If the Republicans win the Senate, and it's looking like they will, but they need your vote, Rand Paul will be high ranking or chair like the health committee. This is what I've heard. It's like someone tweeted about it. And I was just like, that may be the greatest thing I've heard yet. And the one reason why it's worth it, if nothing else, I am a big fan of the Pauls, both Ron and Rand.

And I've already seen what Rand had to say to Fauci. Imagine if he's actually in charge and has some subpoena power or actually can move the needle a little bit. That's going to be really, really great. So, but we'll be back Monday to remind all of you to go vote on Tuesday. And I will say one more time, a sincere thank you to everybody who

bought the song. It means so much to me and to everybody who worked on it. Seriously, it's incredible and I thank you all so much. Thanks for hanging out and we'll see you all next time. Cheers.
