Starting point is 00:00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's episode of the TimCast IRL podcast. I am proud to announce we have a very, very special guest. I could not believe we pulled off this interview. It's a surprise. We didn't tell anybody, but sitting next to me is not Adam Krigler. In fact, it is our current guest, former vice president and current Democrat, well, presumed Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden. There he is, gently caressing that like button. Joe, thanks for coming on the show. Can you tell me what you want the audience to do?
Starting point is 00:00:35 Biden that button. Biden, I don't know if anyone can hear you. I can't wait to see what that looks like. Oh my God. I can see it. Oh my goodness. That is great. Hey, everybody. I think that may be the stupidest thing we've ever done.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Don't worry. We'll stop it. So someone sent us a big stand up of the Biden. And it came with that wonderful little cut out of his face. And I couldn't resist. Did you see the video I put on Instagram? I did. So we keep making jokes about how because we have this cardboard cut out of Joe Biden,
Starting point is 00:01:17 that's really creepy. So like in the middle of the night, you're going to get a glass of water from the sink. And you like at the corner of your eye, you see someone standing there and you look ah it's joe biden oh gosh so i decided to film a funny video where i'm like i walk in the studio it's all dark i'm like why are the lights turned off what's going on i heard a noise and then i look and i scream and it just cuts it's just joe biden standing there i needed a good laugh though seriously man for real joe biden says smash that like button sniff it smell it. Smell it. Sniff that like button. Caress that like button. Look fat.
Starting point is 00:01:47 You got to smash that like button. Make the like button's hair stand on its edge. Too far? No, no, no. I got long blonde like buttons. And the kids, they like to put their hands on it and press that like button. Oh my gosh. This is what we're going to do from now on to make sure everybody mashes the like button as hard as possible.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Oh, dear. We're getting weird props going on this show. We're having a lot of fun. Oh, my goodness. I'm having fun anyway. We do have very serious news. Trump threatening federal action on the Democrat liberal cities. It's probably more of a passive comment, but considering what happened in Portland
Starting point is 00:02:25 and how insane everything's getting, yeah, maybe. I mean, they've already called the feds an occupying army. And then we're just going to go through some of the press about how they're handling all this stuff. But we do have, there's another story,
Starting point is 00:02:39 the DNC and the RNC are basically going to ban, I don't know if they're going to ban, but they're warning people about not using TikTok. Oh, good. Because of Chinese spying stuff. Finally. But we're just going to talk about stuff. But I have good news, too, before we get started on everything.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Ladies and gentlemen, Florbo has returned to the Urban Dictionary. Florbo returns. Yes. With a more acceptable definition. So first, actually, if you haven't subscribed, I know Joe Biden told you to smash the like button. So first, actually, you should, if you haven't subscribed, I know we, Joe Biden told you to smash the like button. So you did. But Joe also wants you
Starting point is 00:03:08 to subscribe to the channel too. Oh gosh. He'll be back tomorrow. He'll turn up behind you. Yeah, we do the show every Monday through Friday live at eight. But for those that saw
Starting point is 00:03:15 the previous show where we talked about Urban Dictionary, they got woke. Urban Dictionary, Urban Dictionary, you got to make sniffing noises while you do it.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Somebody, somebody mentioned when I was doing the Instagram instagram joke there should have been sniffing noises in the background like echoing oh yeah totally done that what's that what the heck what's this noise but we have some other ideas for funny bits but anyway um urban dictionary got woke and there's a word that i use that is specifically designed to be non-offensive floorbo let me explain this to you. So first, Urban Dictionary said, we're not going to be a platform for hate speech, so we're going to be considering this,
Starting point is 00:03:51 and I don't know what that means. Because Urban Dictionary is just like nothing but offensive words. That's the point of it. What does this offensive word mean? I'll check Urban Dictionary. You know what? There was a few things I wanted to say that I thought wouldn't be overtly offensive,
Starting point is 00:04:05 but I figured some people, like I don't want someone's kid to go, Dad, what does that mean? And they have to be like, oh, not gonna explain that. So I'm gonna avoid saying some of these things, but we are a family-friendly show, so we mentioned instead of, we talk frequently about, say, like an instance where a bunch of jerks, mean people, have formed
Starting point is 00:04:21 a big circle where they're all patting each other on the back. A circle of jerks. Not having to define what the actual phrase would be. Anyway, that's what Urban Dictionary does. So for them to start banning these words, it makes no sense. Well, sure enough, Florbo got banned. It got removed from Urban Dictionary. To me, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:42 I'll tell you why it's crazy. Florbo was designed to be a neutral third party in the culture war. Okay, listen, you have people who demand you use their pronouns or use nonstandard pronouns. I mean, like they, them, right? But then you have conservatives saying, no, I will use the pronouns that are appropriate as I see. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, guys, guys, we need to come up with a word that I will make up that won't be offensive to anybody, that no one will force anyone else to say. The idea is you can't make me say what, you know, what you want me to say. And I can't get mad because you're using the wrong pronoun.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Florbo. Florbo. The point of Florbo is if you don't know what someone's identity is, you don't got to say they, them, you don't got to say they, them. You don't got to say the wrong pronoun, jeezer, whatever. You just say Florbo. And it was like – I'll be fair. I think it was like a half joke. Like the idea was if someone's going to get offended that you said that you're telling them to say they, and they're going to be like, no, I won't use that pronoun, and someone else is going to get offended if you misgender them on an accident yeah then maybe the best thing you do is just use a neutral word from a third party and so somebody made a definition and it actually was the definition was actually a little bit more
Starting point is 00:05:53 antagonistic to the left like making fun of i guess sam smith or whatever it got banned and i was i was offended yeah because the word specifically not offensive to anyone it's a whole point so there's two new definitions that were put in and these are actually uh these are actually because the word's specifically not offensive to anyone. It's a whole point. So there's two new definitions that were put in, and these are actually good. Check this out. The first one says, what someone may be called when their preferred pronouns are unknown to the speaker
Starting point is 00:06:14 replaces he, him, she, her, them. And there's an example. Who is that over there? It looks like Florbo is trying to climb that giant oak tree. Yeah, it's just neutral. It's just not meant to be an attack on anybody or anything like that. But the one down here is actually just neutral. It's just not meant to be an attack on anybody or anything like that. But the one down here is actually really good.
Starting point is 00:06:26 It says, a term to refer to any person identifying as any identity, no identity, multiple identities, or any combination of the former without offending anyone. So it says, Florbo is offended by being called Florbo without understanding that a Florbo is a catch-all term to refer to all Florbos. We are all Florbo.
Starting point is 00:06:44 And if we are all Florbo, then no one should be offended by the term floorboat. Does that make sense to floorboat now? Boom. I really do like that. That's great. It's like everybody is. Yep. So don't be mad because I am as well.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Someone actually tweeted at me a couple days ago when we talked about this. Maybe it was yesterday. When did they strike it? Was it yesterday? Yeah. I don't remember exactly. Maybe it was yesterday. When did they strike it? Was it yesterday? I don't remember exactly. Maybe it was last week. But either way, someone hit me up and said,
Starting point is 00:07:08 I actually just re-entered it into the database because you have to send it to them and they have to approve it. Oh, they approved it. Oh. So this was actually someone who watches our show, potentially. I don't know if this is exactly it, but if you're out there, you tweeted at me once, you can tweet at me again.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Tweet at me and let me know, and that would be cool. Because if it is, thank you. Wait, they approved this. Urban Dictionary did. Right. Approved it. I know. Boom.
Starting point is 00:07:35 It's canon. There we go. I'm fairly certain this is because this is directly from us talking about it. I think so. No, but my thing is, Urban Dictionary, I thought you could just put whatever word you wanted in there. You could just be like, Blaffler is a giant unicorn with laser eyes. All hail Blaffler. Blaffler.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Volsiferon is a reference to mechanized cyborg furries or something. You know what I mean? I thought you could just make up words and just put it in. I didn't think it had to be approved. But considering they're getting woke, I guess they have to approve it now? I guess so. I'll tell you what. That's a glorious endorsement of the word.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Yeah. Indeed. Yeah, Florbo. That's great. Yeah. And as I was explaining before, I felt like it you know, it's supposed to be a soft word. Reminds me of Flubber from that Robin Williams movie. Everybody loved Robin Williams.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Like his movie was fun. His family was great. It was meant to be a very fluffy, neutral, everybody can get along. Let's lay down on a big old pile of beanbags and have a conversation. But I have to imagine some people probably are still offended by it. That's why I got removed in the first place. But hopefully these are more acceptable. I think so.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Thank you, everybody. Now that we've wasted, what, eight minutes of your time talking about this word. Someone just tagged me and said it's been in Ricky Morty for a while. I think you're thinking of a plumbus. Oh, yeah. Everybody has a plumbus. Oh, no, no, a flurbo. Flurbo.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Oh, yeah, flurbo is different than florbo. Very different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, to be fair, like. Flurbo. Flurbo. Oh, yeah. Flurbo is different than florbo. Very different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not the same thing. Well, to be fair, like... It's close. I think they use a bunch of gibberish words. They do, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:12 And it's like it's really hard to, you know, come up with a gibberish word. But I'm sure there's probably some subconscious, you know, thing. I don't know. Oh, flurbos are money. I think flurbos are money. Oh, yeah. They're currency. Flurbo, though.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Flurbo. Not florbo. Yeah, florbo. So, flurbos are money. I think flurbos are money. Oh, yeah, they're currency. Flurbo, though. Flurbo. Not florbo. Yeah, florbo. So totally different. O or er. Yeah. Yeah, it would be. You get it.
Starting point is 00:09:33 It would be like the difference of trying to explain someone who doesn't speak English, the difference between mister and my sister. Because when you say it fast enough, a non-English speaker might be like, my sister, mister. That sounds like almost the same word when you're speaking really fast. It's actually something I've encountered. That's why I brought it up. So, different words, different words. Anyway, now that you've all had your time gloriously wasted.
Starting point is 00:09:54 No, no, no. Enlightened. Enlightened. Is the term you should have used there. We've brought you into a new world of understanding. Florbo. Actually, to be fair though, there's a tweet from James Lindsay about math and postmodernism and stuff. And he talks about how
Starting point is 00:10:11 a lot of the arguments made by the woke left are just to confuse an issue. It's interesting. There's a comic going around where two people are talking about two plus two equaling four and how that's not a true statement.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Oh, yeah. It equals five now, right? No, now right no no that's what they're trying to say the argument is it can equal anything and that your understanding is skewed and this is actually really dangerous in my opinion um it seems like the goal of a lot of these activists is to destroy is to create tribalism to an extreme degree yeah so some activists posted i'm being you know people are attacking me for claiming two plus two equals five how can this be a true statement and then all of a sudden a bunch of posts emerged so what what they tried doing is in this comic it shows two black people they're like cartoon characters they like stick figures talking and one of them says uh two plus two is always four and the other person says i'm concerned
Starting point is 00:11:06 about your use of the word always because that implies like absolutes which is not true blah blah and then the person says two apples plus two oranges does not equal four apples but the problem was that is that's a non-standard equation they're trying to confuse you into making you think that since variables exist basic formulas are improper. They're trying to make you just not understand basic math. I've heard this argument so many times from people who want to sound like they're smart. Actually, two plus two could be ten in base form, if only you actually understood and you were as smart as me.
Starting point is 00:11:40 That's basically what they're doing. Sure. So this comic ends up going viral and james lindsey points out that a lot of these things you hear are attempts to confuse people and like shatter non-standard understandings of reality i'm probably you know going into a little bit more deeply than he did in his tweet but i think i think that's true with a lot of the uh identity claims about what people dress as how they they call themselves. It's more of an asserting power. Like it's like it's it's like Karen almost when you're like, you think two plus two equals
Starting point is 00:12:12 four. Let me explain to you. You don't even know what binary is, do you? No. So then you end up with, you know, kind of weird words and weird definitions. And I think what's particularly dangerous about it is that it's really rooted in people trying to feel like they're special. They want to know that they're smart. They want to convince you they're smart. They want to contribute, honestly. They want to be a part of something. Everybody does.
Starting point is 00:12:40 So when you say something like, you know, what goes up must come down. Well, actually you're only referring to within microgravity and they start giving off explanations because technically up in the universe could be any direction. Oh, you see, there you go. So it depends
Starting point is 00:12:57 on the rotation of the earth too because you can go up when you're on this side and then you'd be going in the same direction going down when you're on the other side. And think about how stupid it is for someone to actually assert something as dumb as that. I'm sorry, you're very dumb. Let me explain.
Starting point is 00:13:11 See, in outer space, there is no up. And besides, even if there was, you could throw something to the right, but if the planet was to your left, it would go from right to left. So what goes right must go left. How stupid are you? Yeah, that's a lot of...
Starting point is 00:13:22 No, the sky is blue, Tim. The sky is blue. Actually, the sky is black. Tim. The sky is blue. Actually, the sky is black. What you're referring to is the reflection of particles in the atmosphere that are absorbing certain spectrum of the visible spectrum. Oh, my gosh. Well, we're having fun, aren't we? Now that we've wasted more of your time.
Starting point is 00:13:39 More time. What are we talking about, Tim? 10 plus 10 equals 1,010. Somebody posted something like that. Oh gosh oh nice we're actually going to be talking about uh trump and uh federal enforcement oh yeah and look man i i'm i'm getting really really sick and tired of this news cycle i think the democrats are panicking and panicking maybe isn't the right word for it. I think the Democrats are probably in full on mental breakdown over the fact that they are losing support from the black community. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:15 As referenced by that documentary we talked about the other day. I think from the entire community, not just. Well, Rasmussen has Trump support support at 41 among all likely black voters oh wow so to see the sheer level of rate like racial news to me is like it is insane it is insane is insane the cdc 1200 employees demanding they declare racism a public health crisis like what what what is this this this news cycle it's just absolutely ridiculous yeah it is like it's it's it's everything taken up i would say take them to 11 but it's like 50 it's like they ripped the knob off every story i look
Starting point is 00:14:58 up on uh uh you know now the top story is that donald trump said when he was asked about black lives matter he says what about white people who get killed? And now, all of a sudden, here we go. How dare you make this about another? It's like, okay, well, what about the statistics? That's true, because that is true. He wasn't wrong. It's like they're trying to tear.
Starting point is 00:15:18 I think it's because they know they're not offering anything tangible to minority voters. Not just the black community, but Latinos, Asians. It's true. And Trump is, in the polls, gaining, and that means he wins. Yep. And I wonder if, you know, they talk about how the polls are unable to capture non-college educated whites. I wonder how effective the polls are at capturing, you know, like the black community vote. If these are communities that were taken for granted by all political parties for a long time,
Starting point is 00:15:44 regardless, Republican and Democrat, then I don't know if the pollsters can effectively track these demographic changes like the rise of the black conservative and stuff like that yeah yeah and then we might be seeing these polls what may what may be skewing the polls is that it may they may be all true yeah trump is losing support among certain white voters. So Biden is leading. But the polls may be ignoring certain minority communities because they've never had to poll in this way before. It's a good point. So Trump could actually be way up. And we're going to see something like we saw in 2016 when the polls were all saying Hillary was going to win. The probability said she was going to win. And then afterwards they went, well, we knew we couldn't actually survey these, you know, non-college educated white people. So we didn't realize how wrong we were going to be. You know, you just said something to the rise of the black conservative.
Starting point is 00:16:34 That's inaccurate. It's actually the return of the black conservative, because that is a lot of the black conservatives are the ones that were really making the leaps and bounds in civil rights in our history. So they were prevalent. I think it's the – I don't know what it is. I don't know. Maybe it's that people are becoming less – some people are too scared to speak up. Some people are less scared to speak up. Yep.
Starting point is 00:17:02 You know what's interesting too about the argument, because I've been talking about this a lot, about people refusing to speak up, is that there are so many people who have found success in speaking out. There are people who have been canceled who have turned it into a career. There have been people who weren't even canceled but started saying unpopular things and found their audience. Good point. And there are people who are hiding in their closet
Starting point is 00:17:25 hoping that when the Reaper comes to their door, they'll be the one house he just skips over. Yep. Sorry, it's not going to work that way. Well, I'm certainly speaking up. I'm exhausted, mentally exhausted from the amount of re-explaining I have to do because it's really hard to just just simply say oh sure here's
Starting point is 00:17:46 all of the five months of research that I've been doing and the hundreds of hours that I've had with you know with you on this show and you know outside of the show that we talk about things that are going on it's like how do I like quantify all that and just a simple response on Facebook well why are you voting for him it's like okay you can't do it on Facebook no Well, why are you voting for him? It's like, okay. You can't do it on Facebook. Calm down. No, I know. But it's not about Facebook because now I've had certain people reach out to me outside of Facebook. Hey, talk to me about what is it about him that you like? Why are you voting? Why are you voting like that? And those few
Starting point is 00:18:22 people, people on Twitter are like dude just don't worry about them there's going to be haters and it's like no we we have to talk i i have we have to speak up we've been talking about it we have to have these conversations i i'm civil and some of them don't agree with me and some of them are like you know what that's fine i'm still not going to vote for trump but i'm glad we had this conversation. It's like, yes. I'm not trying to sway anyone, but I'm sick of the lies that I'm seeing and I'm calling them out. And that's kind of why I wanted to have that conversation. It feels like, you know, I grew up with all of these people saying the war was bad, protesting war in Iraq and Afghanistan. And now here we are are and when i actually asked one of my friends who's like same
Starting point is 00:19:07 age as me chicago liberal yep would you support pulling out the troops from afghanistan yes of course right no no no no really there's like a uh-oh wait a minute uh-oh is this a trap i know what tim thinks and so the response is no longer we must pull out. The response is now, well, maybe, but, and I'm like, are you kidding me? Do you have an original thought in your brain? Look, man, you can complain about all the worst things in the world from Obama, from Trump, from anybody. But if you have stood on this, if you have stood on this hill that we should not be in the Middle East and Trump says, OK, I'll pull out of the Middle East, you can't all of a sudden be like, well, no, actually, I think. No, you say, all right, well, you know, OK, I'll take it, I guess. Someone asked me the other day, why are they against pulling against the troops?
Starting point is 00:19:59 And that's why I asked you yesterday. And it's like the war machine, the Russia contracts, all these things. And I'm like, I've looked into it and I still have yet to find a nice, legitimate answer. There is so much to break down in terms of the actions being taken in the Middle East. But the first thing you can say, you can look at a map and see that Iraq and Afghanistan are on both sides of Iran. And John Bolton, you know, who was advising Trump for a while and then got outed and then turned on, that was a mistake. He wanted to invade Iran. And so it has a lot to do with oil.
Starting point is 00:20:34 It has a lot to do with resources. Of course it does. It has a lot to do with regional power. It has a lot to do with competing for natural resources. So there's this big international— Isn't it always, right? I mean, it's energy. Energy equals expansion.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Expansion equals, you know, cultural expansion. And so we're competing with China and a bunch of other interests to expand. And China is rapidly gaining ground. So I can't tell you what they want from Iran.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Maybe it has to do with defending Israel, controlling the region. You know, Israel's constantly under threat, and the U.S. is definitely trying to stabilize. There's a lot of reasons. I'm sure there's a lot of people who just do it for money. I'm sure there's a lot of people who do it for ideological reasons, a lot of people who do it for strategic reasons, for dominance around the world. But in the end, there's a lot of people in this country who are sick of it and have wanted for a long time first of all we never we should have never gone over there and now want us to return how is it that there are people who are now serving in the military
Starting point is 00:21:33 who were born after we invaded yep you know that's the craziest thing to me or at least that's like a talking point to say like we are now at that point but trump comes along and i'm sitting here and like my position's long been like one of the only things I really care about first before we can move on is bringing our soldiers home and not being this invading force in these foreign countries. And then everything just stops when Trump goes, OK. I'm like, wait, what? He's like, yeah. And I'm like, wait, wait, you're actually going to do it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:00 It's like it's something something that I've been saying for a long time. Like we got to stop the war machine and stop being the world police. And almost every single person I know that is arguing with me now has felt that way. You know, they flip and now they support being the world police. Well, I mean, you can't have a rational conversation. So I've never got there. I haven't I haven't been able to even get to that point in the conversation. You know, I listed all of the things that I've found that are good that he's done and that's on there.
Starting point is 00:22:28 That's one of the things. And they're just like, that's not good enough. He's friends with Nazis. And I'm like, what? Where are you getting your information? So I simply just said, now's when you show me your source. And I have yet to hear back. But I'm not going to not have a civil conversation. I'm not going to not have a civil conversation. I'm not going to become emotional. I want to have all the facts. I'm laying them all out.
Starting point is 00:22:51 I'm going to continue doing so. These people who think that we're the empire from Star Wars, they think that America is the worst imperial foreign invading country. Okay, well, you've got your choice of Biden, who was part of the Obama administration, working with Hillary Clinton and exacerbating these problems. And you have Donald Trump, who's being blocked as he tried to return. He tries to bring the troops back. This is why, this is why, look, I didn't, I voted for Obama the first time, not second time.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Because he was like, we're going to bring our troops home. And then he gets in and he's like, more troops. And then they started blowing up kids and civilians and then calling them enemy combatants and stuff. Oh, they're military you know that that's that's good enough for us and so i was like yeah right i'm not gonna fall for this again and i didn't i did not vote 2012 i did not vote in 2016 now i'm at a point where for one yeah cancel culture pc culture the weird intersectionalism freaks me out but then trump's like even though i didn't vote for him he's talking about bringing our troops back and i'm like, he didn't he didn't promise me to do anything. I didn't vote for him.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Hold on. He's literally just doing. He's not just saying we got to bring our troops home. He's he's going into detail. We need to stop being the world police. We need to focus on our infrastructure, making our roads better, helping our minority communities, which he is doing. And it's like, how are they ignoring that now? This is one of the biggest reasons why I thought I didn't like him.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Because I didn't think that he was for that. Because I didn't actually listen to the right people, to the right things, to the actual policies that he was putting forth. Here's what I'm saying. When Obama made me that promise, like, we're going to do all these great things. We're going to bring our troops back. And I was like, I like what he's selling. I'm going to buy.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Vote. And then what did he do? One of the first things he did was he bombed a village of women and children looking for an enemy combatant or something. And I was like, that's not what I paid for. I mean that metaphorically, not literally. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I come into a shop and I say one slice of pepperoni pizza. You give me some weird, you know, veggie tofu stuff. I'm going to be like, hey, hey, whoa. I get it. Some people
Starting point is 00:24:48 might want you, you know, to do certain things, but that's not what I asked for. That's not what you promised me. Right. I didn't vote for Trump. I actually, I laughed when he won and I didn't care. I'm like, yeah, well, you know what? I was totally disenfranchised, disaffected. Now Trump's being, they're resisting him trying to bring the troops back. And I'm like, that's the biggest thing to me. I don't care about anything else. It's like, well, what about Trump and his very fine people? I don't care. Wait, wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:25:11 You think that because Trump said naughty words, I'm supposed to not support the idea that we're going to pull our imperialistic Star Wars stormtrooper troops out of the Middle East? Back home? Bring them back to their families? You think this is the empire from Star Wars stormtrooper troops out of the Middle East. Back home, bring them back to their families. You think this is the empire from Star Wars? You think that it's better for Joe Biden to get in and send more people over there just so he can say nice words to you? Trump could go on a foul mouth tirade for five hours, cussing, using every slur in the book.
Starting point is 00:25:38 And then if he said, and after all that, here's an executive order. I am ordering all the troops to return tomorrow. I'd be like, OK, I don't care what he said because you know i've i've he's doing it he's trying to do it now yeah that's why i kind of feel like his promises are meaningless if he said trust me re-elect me and i'll do it i'd be like yeah right right i'm not buying it but he's straight up doing it and so i'm like i want to i want to help him do that i want to i want to i want to end that i don't like that i don't i've never liked that and i I've actually been to, you know, I was in Egypt during the revolution. I don't pretend like I was in Afghanistan or Iraq or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:26:11 But I've covered a lot of this national security news for a decade. And I understand a lot of the complexities of it. I've heard the debates. And I just can't square away what we do over there with my morals and my ethics. And along comes a president who, without asking, without telling me, like, I need your vote to do this. He just started doing it. And I'm like, oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:30 And that a few different people were like yelling at me for for supporting a Nazi supporter, basically. And I'm like, what is this from? And it all boiled down to that one fake speech. And I was like, OK, I wasn't paying attention then. I'll go look one fake speech and i was like okay i wasn't paying attention then i'll go look at the speech and i'll listen to what he's saying and i did and the very first thing out of his mouth i do not condone any neo-nazis they should all like go away they should be condemned totally period and then he moves on and they're like well well what about what about the the people that were there and he's like I'm sure not everybody there was a neo-Nazi.
Starting point is 00:27:07 They were against the statues coming down. He was right. And I was like, okay, that makes sense to me. And he was talking about the people that specifically were not the neo-Nazi. You know what's funny? How come the right didn't go, Trump just defended Antifa? Trump is defending Marxist and violent communists. Did you hear him when he said there's very fine people on both sides?
Starting point is 00:27:28 On both sides. That was Trump defending neo-Marxists. I guess so. Communists, violent authoritarians. No, it's the other way. It doesn't go both ways, Tim. It doesn't go both ways. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Politics flows in one direction. That's true. It's to the left. Well, away from the left so if you are seen in a video with a guy wearing a maga hat and you're smiling you're giving a thumbs up they'll be like adam's a trump supporter now wait till i actually put on a maga but then wait but then wait if you're caught in a photo standing next to antifa giving a thumbs up they'll go that antifa guy is a is a trump supporter now you get it yep it's It's only one direction. So when Trump says
Starting point is 00:28:06 both sides had good people, the media doesn't say Trump defends communists. They say Trump defends Nazis, even though he didn't. In fact, hold on. Hold on. Trump, I dare say that's a new t-shirt we need to make. I dare say Donald Trump condemned the Nazis. Did Donald Trump in that speech condemn
Starting point is 00:28:22 communists? He did not. Therefore, it is more apt to say Donald Trump actually defended communists as very fine people. It makes more sense. Because if you actually go through his speech. Yeah, that's true. Because he actually condemned the neo-Nazis. Specifically. That's true.
Starting point is 00:28:39 That's the only people that he did condemn in that speech. I am not. I think Trump lacks tact. I don't like his behavior. He mocked a reporter getting body slammed. I'm not a fan of these journalists and everything like that. But there's a certain demeanor that I expect of the office of the president. And that's why I've never been a big fan of Trump.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Yeah, his tact is not the best. I don't care. I'll be the first to admit that, you know. Sure. is not the best. I don't care. I'll be the first to admit that, you know, sure. And it totally played into the story, you know, that the whole narrative that orange man bad, you know, because he's,
Starting point is 00:29:12 he is not a politician. He is a showboater and it loves attention. That's obvious. And I, I, I look, I, I,
Starting point is 00:29:21 I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
Starting point is 00:29:21 I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
Starting point is 00:29:22 I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
Starting point is 00:29:22 I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
Starting point is 00:29:22 I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
Starting point is 00:29:22 I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
Starting point is 00:29:24 I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I have more disdain for the media than him. Yeah. And they lie about him all the time. So does most of the general public, doesn't it? But Trump said something. I want to make sure I'm getting this right, but I vaguely remember him saying something like, I'm a mean guy, but I work for you.
Starting point is 00:29:39 And so that I found funny. I also really loved when he was like, I ran for office one time. He became president of the United States. He is a funny guy. He's funny. Yeah, yeah. But my thing's like. Well, he toyed with I ran for office one time. He became president of the United States. He is a funny guy. He's funny. Yeah, yeah. But my thing's like – Well, he toyed with the idea for a long time, though. I think he knows what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Yeah. I've done a lot of digging. I've got to be honest. I've got to be completely honest. I don't like him. He's funny. Okay. There's some things that I like he's doing.
Starting point is 00:29:59 I'm willing to vote for him mostly because of the war stuff. And also because this guy here is nuts. Joe Biden is just just it's ridiculous but what scares me more about this this guy is who's behind this guy because administration the establishment exactly that's right so so i'm i'm in this position where there's like there's a lot of you know moderate individuals intellectual dark web types or whatever they call them where it's like there's there's a lot of reasons to be upset about this cycle and for me for the longest time i've been like i mean last year i was like i'm never voting for trump it's like look i get it i get the culture all this stuff but listen there there really is the character issues and integrity issues tact issues
Starting point is 00:30:42 arrogance ego yep but you know what i don't care about any of that. If it comes down to him signing that order to bring our troops back, and he's been trying to, and they're blocking him and they're smearing him. Yep. And so I'm sitting here saying, you know what? We got about, we got less than four months. I want to, if he actually takes some very substantive action, I will gladly walk in there and be like, yep, stamp right on that line.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Because the way I see it is, what is Joe Biden going to get us? Under Obama, the racial tensions were escalating. The violence was- Chinese rule. I mean, that's potentially, you know, it's just, I'm talking about all the problems we face today. Could Joe Biden snap his fingers and make COVID go away? Of course not. But it'll happen.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Andrew, well, we joke about it. But look, Andrew Cuomo caused all those problems. And Murphy. And Murphy. And there were problems in Connecticut. The tri-state was a disaster. Yep. So if Biden was president, would that change?
Starting point is 00:31:39 No, of course not. Would the riots have changed? No. What could Joe Biden do to prevent the George Floyd incident? Was he going to magically like parachute in as it was happening and say, halt, I'm super Biden to stop this because I'm psychic? No, it would have happened. And I'm totally not racist.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Now, it's possible that the media wouldn't have gone nuts with it and they'd simmer down because the orange man bad narrative is cash, cash money for these businesses. But I think you bring in Biden and you get more of Obama. And a lot of people are going to laugh right now and go, but we liked Obama. That's fine. That's fine if you like the re-upping of the authorization for use of military force in the Middle East. That's fine if you like the indefinite detention provisions under the NDAA, the extra judicial
Starting point is 00:32:18 assassinations of American citizens, the killing of women and children, the use of the Espionage Act. I can go on for a really long time. I know you can. I don't want this guy to come back and bring back his stupid nonsense. And so I look at Trump and I'm kind of like, yeah, yeah, yeah. The economy was good. I get it.
Starting point is 00:32:31 But then the Afghanistan thing happens. They're now trying to accuse, you know, Russia was putting a bounty on soldiers. And I'm like, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Okay, it's been disputed. But you mean to tell me that the Taliban that already wants to kill American soldiers needed help? Needed incentives to do it? Shut up. Yeah, someone was giving me a hard time about that.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Like trying to convince me that that was the case. And I just kept asking for sources. No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. You just say, wow. Really? Oh, man. We should definitely bring them back.
Starting point is 00:32:59 We should bring them home. Yeah. We better bring them back before they get hurt. Because you agree, right? Trump's not going to help them, right? Yeah, we better bring them all home. Yeah. We better bring them back before they get hurt. Cause cause you agree, right? Trump's not going to help them, right? Yeah. We better bring them all home. Imagine what we can do if all that energy we put over there and truth be told, we have reduced our forces over there substantially, especially under Trump. I think there's like 8,600 or so remaining.
Starting point is 00:33:18 I'm not entirely sure, but imagine if we took all of those people and said, here's Flint, we need to, we need to refit all these pipes and get that lead out there clean that water yeah how about that how about that guys that sounds great so we're talking about this this just came up the pentagon says the u.s has withdrawn from five bases in afghanistan after the taliban agreement just so you know that's what i'm saying dude it happened i didn't i didn't ask to make moves i didn't ask trump to do anything for for what i think needs to happen but you know what happened though right he just did it did it. No, he is straight up. What time is it? 830? He's watching the show right now. It's true. It was 15 minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Executive order. We're going to name this one. You get the pool move. No, no, no. I don't know. He's watching the show on his phone and he's like sitting in the office. He's like, so these these city liberal guys that Adam guy, he's like sitting in the awful office he's like so these these city liberal
Starting point is 00:34:05 guys that adam want us that adam guy he's he's all right yeah yeah he's all right vaguely he's gonna do like a rally he's gonna be like adam criggler i was watching this show it's the best podcast dimcast irl this guy he says i'm gonna vote for trump good man i mean to be honest crazy things have happened to me like this. I'm not joking. What, like people watching the show or whatever? Just my life has been one amazing thing after another. So, you know, I'm a lucky person. Well, maybe we're in a simulation and you're the main character.
Starting point is 00:34:36 So when the Civil War breaks out, whoever's actually running the game is going to be playing you. And you're going to be running into a wall, like stationary and spinning in circles and jumping for no reason yeah but i i think i've i've beaten the point to death but it's like it's it's it's a weird feeling living through obama where he made a promise and then broke that promise as a serious promise and it was hope and change and then to for me to be like i'm not voting for that guy i'm not gonna vote for him or her. And now Trump's like, I'm withdrawing troops on these bases. And I'm kind of like, I didn't even ask him to do it. Right. You know?
Starting point is 00:35:09 You literally just said it, though, like 10 minutes ago. That's why I'm like, I'm suspect. He's watching the show. What's up, President? He makes a phone call. Mr. President. Hello, sir. Get our troops out of Afghanistan so that the liberals are happy.
Starting point is 00:35:24 It's the weirdest thing to me. Operation The Pool's Closed. Ooh, pool out. That's chat, though. I'm watching you chat. You guys are great. They say things like there's security reasons we don't know. That's why we're over there.
Starting point is 00:35:38 And if we leave, there's a power vacuum and all that stuff. And I just, I'm sorry, man. You know, if you're concerned about the expansion of these foreign powers in a power vacuum in the power vacuum in the middle east why aren't you concerned about the death of the middle class the loss of the manufacturing base and all these other things that trump has addressed as well yep and that's why i'm kind of looking at this like i'm i'm not even my my my focus was never even like are we going to bring our factories back it was never a part of my you know my, my worldview because I didn't work. I worked in media and journalism,
Starting point is 00:36:09 but covering a lot of these things, I was like this. The Middle East was the biggest blunder. And I blame Bush. It was a it was a it was reactive. It was stupid. I think they use 9-11 as an excuse. And now Trump's doing something. I can't I can't make the president do anything. I can't make Biden do anything. I can't make Obama do anything. All I know is right now I have one vote. And if Biden gets in, he'll do 50 billion things I don't like. If Trump gets in, he'll do 50 billion things I don't like. OK, well, at least I'll get one thing that's extremely important, extremely important. It's almost like that one move of bringing the troops back and ending this ridiculous BS occupational war, whatever you want to call it, is worth 100 votes, 1,000 votes.
Starting point is 00:36:51 You know, Trump can go in there and say he's going to end cancel culture with, you know, strong executive order, Section 230 reform. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are things that are important to me. But it's like for every one key wedge issue, you have 10,000 points towards how bad the war is. So, Mr. President. Oh, yeah. If you're listening.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Reform 230. Yes. Huge. Yes. It's really important for freedom, the freedom of speech for the future. Very important. End the war on drugs. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Legalize at the federal level. Remove marijuana from, what is it, Schedule 1? Yeah. Is it Schedule 1? I think it's Schedule 1, narcotics, yeah. That's insane. I agree. Schedule 1 is nuts.
Starting point is 00:37:38 I'll tell you what. Let's create a review board that goes through every single nonviolent conviction and then grants – what do you think? Pardon or commute? What's the difference? Well, if you're pardoned, you're not a felon. If you're commuted, you're free to go, but you're still a convict. I think pardon then. Full pardon.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Yeah, because if we're making it legal, then it wasn't a crime. One of the concerns is that people say that some people may have pleaded down. Okay, so those are the cases that will be commuted then, maybe. Commute? Or commuted, yeah. Well, if somebody's a violent murderer, but they caught them on drug charges and they know and they have good suspicion, my position was innocent until proven guilty if the state didn't make their case. But it is still fair to say the state may have walked away from more serious violence charges if they knew they would get harsher drug charges.
Starting point is 00:38:30 I mean, the whole the whole crime bill thing that I was learning about, it's like that that prevents felons or anyone. Actually, it specifically states if you are incarcerated at all in the in the American system anywhere, you are not allowed to further yourself. You can't get a degree. And I think that is ridiculous. That needs to be repealed immediately. I'll tell you what I'll do. And that's part of what we're talking about, though, right now. It's like for those people, if they are in there, it should be about becoming a better
Starting point is 00:38:58 person and getting a degree. And they stopped that back in 1994. And that was Biden, by the way. Who did that? Before Election Day, Donald Trump withdraws our troops from Afghanistan. I don't think we have that many left in Iraq anyway. I think it's only a few hundred. So, ideally both.
Starting point is 00:39:21 And he pardons nonviolent marijuana-related offenses. I'll put on a MAGA hat. Oh, you'll wear a MAGA hat? If he does that. Oh, snap. Now, that's a bold move. That's because, like, you can't deny it at that point. You can't. I know.
Starting point is 00:39:31 It's true. All of these people who are locked up for something as dumb as pot, all of the people we have in the Middle East who should not be there, our soldiers, should be brought back home. Boom. Those are two groundbreaking, historic moves that could be made. I would absolutely just be like, absolutely, Trump. Absolutely. You do those things. That's just me, though. And so, you know, I always want
Starting point is 00:39:51 to make it clear, like, I don't know what other people want. I don't know that other people need for their lives. I know a lot of people out there just want freedom. Yeah, they want to live their lives. And I I'm pretty sure that's most of the country. I wonder if – I don't know if Trump has the ability to remove marijuana from the scheduling system. Yeah, I don't know either. That might have to be Congress. I'm not sure. But I know he can probably issue an executive order instructing no more enforcement of federal marijuana laws. It would go down to the states.
Starting point is 00:40:20 But even if he did that and then all of these non-violent offenders on marijuana charges were pardoned and that's a lot of people that's a lot yeah i'd throw a party i'd put up a banner yep and and troops in the middle east yeah i'd probably man i don't even know how to describe it i'd probably put a flag i put up a flag or something yep but but you know i gotta i gotta imagine that's like i'm talking about winning the lottery i don't think that'll ever happen i don't think trump would do that i don know. He's doing a lot for the minority communities. People keep trying to claim that he's a racist. And I'm just like, until you know how much he has done for the minority communities in this country, you're not allowed to say that to me anymore. Because all I
Starting point is 00:41:01 hear is that you are ignorant of what he's actually done because I know what he's done. I've looked at his policies. I have a thread on my page right now. I'm like, what do I not know? What has he done that you know that you like? And there is hundreds of comments and it is countless stuff. That's just incredible that he's done for our country.
Starting point is 00:41:23 I haven't just like read the thread and been like, oh, that sounds great. I've took each individual thing, cross-checked it, read the actual bills that he put out and they are impressive. So if you think he's racist, go look at what he's done for the minority communities
Starting point is 00:41:40 and then talk to me. The media's go-to for Republican presidents is racism. And it's partly because that's the issue they use to make sure they want to convince minority voters not to be a... It was in that documentary. They talked about it. They tell you this.
Starting point is 00:41:55 They told Kanye that if he didn't support them, he would lose his career and things like that. Yeah. And that's when he blew up and had mental issues. And it's like, listen. I listen to his speech or it was like they call it. I'm calling it a speech, but it was his rant before the show. And it was just him telling people to wake up and do their own research that they're being lied to. And it's like, hmm, sounds like he was just trying to drop throat, you know, make it rain red pills.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Because he was like standing up on a platform, too. So no wonder they tried to shut him down. Trump has one of one of one way they get him is that he just blurts things out all the time. That's true. And sometimes you're like, what did he just say? Like, I can't. What? It's confusing.
Starting point is 00:42:42 And it's almost like, you know, the intercept. It's really funny funny the intercept is very progressive and they rag on Trump all the time but they call them the most honest president in history of the United States yeah because he's got no filter it's true but he does lie about like they point out that he's dishonest about things that are
Starting point is 00:42:58 kind of weird about like personal issues and ego issues so if he feels slighted he'll be like I have the biggest numbers nobody has bigger numbers than me. And they're like, why? Why? No, that's like, you know. Well, I mean, I know a lot about him and I'm going to save it.
Starting point is 00:43:12 I'm actually going to do a deep dive on him this Saturday with Ian on my show, Adamcast IRL. So if you would like to come check that out, I'm going to I'm going to dive deep into who Donald Trump is, what he's done. I'm going to we're going to go nuts. So this Saturday, 8 p.m., you can check it out, AdamCast. It feels like the very famous moment I bring up all the time because the Intercept referenced this was when he's being asked by a journalist and he goes, we're going to do a great weapons
Starting point is 00:43:36 deal with Saudi Arabia. They're going to buy tons of our weapons. It's great for the economy. And all of the progressive anti-war people are just like, what? He just said it. You're not supposed to say that. He didn't care. But then it's like when it comes to ratings and stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Right. He'll be like, I'm the biggest and the best. And people like point out like, that's not true. Why is he lying about that? Like his ego stuff is weird. But then he'll just be open and honest about these other weird things. Yeah. Like he's not supposed to.
Starting point is 00:44:00 I don't know, man. Look, you know, I think the important thing to bring up to a lot of people who are big fans of Trump is that when you're having a discussion with somebody on the left, you really need to understand they have a giant ball of mucus blood and pus pulsating that disgust that they feel that's an it's a raw emotion that's very hard to overcome because their view has been shaped by it's not just the media lying trump has tacked problems yes he does he just blurts things out and it makes it really easy to come after him and ego problems which you know it's like puts his name in big gold letters on top of buildings yeah could have seen it coming it's true so i'll tell you what man uh i would never consider myself to be a supporter of the man
Starting point is 00:44:55 a trump supporter but if he pardoned all the non-violent marijuana related offenses and stuff i'd be like that's that'd be shocking i just learned something about marijuana that i actually didn't know so it is a schedule one you're crazy yeah so this is something that they consider to have no medical value that i'll just i'll just leave that there i'll just leave that there it is considered more of a problem than cocaine and methamphetamine wow also just so you know yeah this is how they class it ridiculous absolutely insane that's ridiculous man i was uh i was trying to find who said this, and I am kind of bummed that I can't, I don't have it pulled up, but I read it earlier today,
Starting point is 00:45:30 and it was someone who was just responding to a long conversation on Twitter, and basically it was saying, the left just sees anyone on the right that's not on the left as evil. Yep. Just complete evil. And they can't even get along with them them because they're just evil
Starting point is 00:45:45 but someone who's not on the far left can be friends and can tolerate the people on the left because they don't see them as evil they see them as misinformed and that's a huge difference the right thinks the left is misguided the left thinks the right is evil
Starting point is 00:46:00 it's a big difference it's really crazy how hateful some of my friends have become it's like watching an anger machine. I can say the same thing, Tim. It's scary. It's sad. There are people that I used to really, really respect because they've always been very progressive,
Starting point is 00:46:17 but they've always been very Socratic, trying to have conversations and be open, inviting, and now they've become rageaholics yep they just want to scream just just i don't know this is there's a viral video a bunch of women stripping their clothes off and then screaming and just groaning and screaming and you know you know i'm talking about i'm cringing because you know what i'm talking about yeah and there's pictures and you're just like what is this this? I'm 75% straighter. What is why?
Starting point is 00:46:47 You know what, man? Every day I wake up, you know, the first thing I think is today is going to be a good day. Guess what? It is because it's like the sun is shining. You know what? You know what I think when it's a nice sunny day? Oh, it's a nice sunny day. Oh, it's pretty warm.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Well, I'll get I'll get all nice and sweaty on that skate. Love getting all sweaty. Don't skate. You know what i think when it's raining oh oh no i think i can't skate today no nice nice rain i guess i guess get a day off from skating i'll chill out you know the flowers the flowers will grow tomorrow the point is i don't i don't look at the rain as a problem right when it's raining i'm like oh cool finally a storm and you're like look out the window and you're like, wow. It's like, what's your worldview? For me, no matter what the weather is like, it's an awesome, it's wow.
Starting point is 00:47:31 You know, hey, these things happen. I'm alive. I'm here. I'm gonna make the best of it. It's a good point. But these people are becoming infected with a demoralization mind virus. Everything is awful. Everything is awful.
Starting point is 00:47:42 It's too hot. It's so hot. Now it's raining and I'm wet. Like you were talking about with Florbo. Yeah. They can't even be – they're mad at that. They banned Florbo from – someone brought it back. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:56 But it's like, yeah. That's not even enough. It's like because they want to be angry. You're right. So that if you try – even if you try and find a solution, they'll find some way to be angry. Yep. This is why they attack themselves and each other. It's true.
Starting point is 00:48:08 It's why I tell people there is no staying safe. You know what's really funny? Imagine the scenario, zombies are rampaging through the city, eating everybody's brains. Yeah. And someone's like, well, as long as I don't yell at the zombies, they won't eat my brains. It's like, but they're eating everyone's brains They're not going to ignore you for any reason in their logic though angry. They are condoning people eating brains It reminds me you know it reminds me of it's like a Shaun of the Dead how they cover themselves in oh yeah guts Yeah, and then they start going like how do the zombies know?
Starting point is 00:48:42 It's so hilarious, but like, is that the goal? Is that what people are doing? Maybe. So the CDC, I covered this story earlier today, has 1,200 employees signed a letter demanding that they declare racism to be a public health crisis. I don't even know what that means. But you mean to tell me the CDC has 1,200 people who all agreed with that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:01 No, I think a good portion are Shaun of the Dead people rubbing the guts all over them over them and going i'm a zombie too don't bite me look how woke i am i don't have a brain i'll sign it i bet it was one or two people they're like will you sign our pledge sure sign now please don't don't attack me and now you end up with 1200 signatures yeah these it's like somebody tweeted at this to me saying i've got a family and i've got to keep them safe and i'm like but you were literally not doing that like get like imagine this imagine this you're with your family in in you know in the middle of the forest in a tent and a bear comes up and starts shredding the tents and just mauling everybody and you're like calm down if we just be nice to the bear it won't maul us after it's finished mauling everyone else yeah i'm keeping my family safe by not by not doing anything to deal with the fact a bear is killing people right and the bear mauls everybody and then you're like oh no how could this have happened
Starting point is 00:49:53 it reminds me that the the um that meme which one the the andre what's his face meme you know that meme where he shoots the guy on the couch oh yeah yeah he's like how dare you make me do this no i mean there's a million different meetings how could they do this yeah how could they do this yeah i'm like have you heard of unwoke the website the hiring website yep yeah yeah so for companies that don't want to deal with people who are woke it's anonymous you get a job at i mean well yeah you're gonna pull it up okay it is yeah so here we go higher thinkers not activists higher courageous free thinking and freedom loving individuals not ideologues who
Starting point is 00:50:31 whose only agenda is to weaponize your brand and business to further a radical cause check this out look at this that is some serious stuff right there this is interesting look at all these people and there's a lot who have have listed their skills, their resumes. You've got video editors. You've got business operations leadership, web developers, bus operators. 120,000 a year? That's serious jobs here. Yeah, these are legit careers.
Starting point is 00:50:57 But you've got recent college grad with certain knowledge as a manager. And then you can also find work. So those are employees. Here's employers. These are people looking for jobs. we're looking for people who can do these things and we don't want woke people right how amazing yeah this is this is uh carlin carlin uh borsenko posted this up this morning i was like that is that is dope yeah like that's what we need this this is more people are like you know what we've had enough we're not going to hire these people you can't you're not welcome here anymore because needless to say racism isn't prevalent like you're saying it is well it seems like they're trying to head it off at the pass like they're trying to stop it before it even starts don't even bring it into
Starting point is 00:51:40 your company right which i think is great it's a good idea oh okay the companies are you mean right yeah i i i told you about when i worked for the non-profits i did a twitter thread about it but i'll give you i'll give the quick version okay we i used to do street canvassing the people would walk around outside and be like yo hey come talk to me i'm gonna save the bears or whatever yeah and then you fill out the form and you give me a credit card and now you're a member for life not really but you sign up for a monthly donation i I used to do that. It's a very, very taxing job because for the average person, everyone rejects you. Yeah, I did telemarketing for a while. So there's a lot I can talk about in this field. For me and my friends, we were, man, we were masters. We didn't waste our time targeting people we knew didn't want to talk to us.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Right. So we didn't deal with this. But most people get rejected nine out of ten times. And that level of rejection starts demoralizing people who don't have the mental fortitude to handle that kind of rejection. Nonstop. Get away from me. No. I'm sorry. Not today.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Oh, don't talk to me. Yeah, it was tough. Telemarketing. Were you doing it on the phone? No, street. Oh, street. Canvassing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:44 All right. marketing so were you doing on the phone no street oh street yeah walking to people yeah all right so what happens is eventually someone gets totally demoralized okay frustrated angry no matter what i do it's impossible then they look over at me and i'm sitting there with like my eyes half glazed over and shut and i go you over there come here and they go what's up mike sign this out give me your credit card and they do and it's like how did he do that so now Give me your credit card. And they do. And it's like, how did he do that? So now they're watching other people do it. They can't figure it out. They get really, really, really angry. Hey, you. Yeah, come over here. Jump in the pool. No, but this is part of the problem.
Starting point is 00:53:15 When you would have people who would be like, hi there. Would you like to talk about the environment? No. I wouldn't do that. I'd be like, yo. Yo, what up? And they'd be like, huh, me? I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come here, come here, come here. Like, why? What's up? Check this out. Here, take that. They take it. I'm like, read it. I be like, yo. Yo, what up? And they'd be like, huh, me? I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come here, come here, come here. Like, why? What's up?
Starting point is 00:53:26 Check this out. Here, take that. They take it. I'm like, read it. I'm like, okay. And it's just like, just talk to people. Let them do the work for you. So what happens is people get frustrated.
Starting point is 00:53:36 It's like playing a video game where no matter what you do, you keep losing. You get really angry. They go back to the office and they're fuming. And they'll be sitting next to someone and they'll go, this job is it's so dumb i'm sick of it these people everyone is mean everyone is awful all the time i hate everyone then that negativity spreads to someone else and they start getting anxiety then they go out they hyper focus on the negative and the office starts breeding negativity yeah you know what the directors of the offices would do when that happens fire everybody fire every single person they'd fire everyone no matter what even even the people who are good at it you
Starting point is 00:54:08 know why they want to make sure no one remembered no one remembered the demoralization so that's very maoist isn't it absolutely yep a little bit so when the new office comes in everyone's like they'd be like we're just relaunching our new season campaign and everybody always does really well. Yeah. Everything's the best. But then as soon as they would try and catch it fast. Yeah. So they would do debriefs. You'd come back and if they're like, how are you feeling?
Starting point is 00:54:34 What do you think? And as soon as you start saying things like, I don't know, it's just so hard. They'd be like, OK, well, you know, we'll talk to you and they call you. Don't come back because they don't want you to spread that pessimism, that negativity. Dang. back because they don't want you to spread that pessimism that negativity dang and that's but that that's that's that's ripping through the country right now people who just wake up every morning and they go i'm angry i hate everything and i want to hate more and i wake up and i'm like life's great what trick do i want to do today i get about an hour to skate i really want to try blunt backside 180 oh man i'm so excited once i get about an hour to skate. I really want to try blunt backside 180.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Oh man, I'm so excited. Once I get done with work, I get to go out there and try that trick for the day. I just want that one run, man. Yeah, Adam's been trying a pretty beefy run. I'll get it. You'll get it. I'll get it.
Starting point is 00:55:17 So when I wake up, I'm thinking like I got my plans for the day. I got to do my work, man. You know? And the reward is sitting there waiting to get a good skate session, get all sweaty. Oh, it's 90 degrees out.'s like wow it's hot i'm like great i'll get sweaty it's good it's healthy you know ripping yeah dude just just wore my shirts all drenched
Starting point is 00:55:33 feels good everything can be a good thing like you've got you've got this mangled twisted scar on your on your ankle yep from getting you know skateboard whacking you i have multiple twisted scars on my ankles now. But there's one in particular. But we joke about it. It's quite large. You keep, like, you posted a photo, right? Yeah, there's blood everywhere.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Yeah, it was gross. And you got a big old smile on your face. That's true. You're like, cool, I'm going to post a picture of it. Actually, no, I didn't say that. You said, dude, yeah, gnar, you got to post a picture. And I'm like, all right. But there it is, man.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Positive mental attitude. It's true. Your ankle is covered in blood. You have every reason to be like, ah, I'm so angry. Instead, you're just like, I'll post a picture. All right. And you're like laughing about it. And that's like whenever one of us gets hurt, like we don't get seriously hurt, but you'll be skating.
Starting point is 00:56:24 You'll fall down. One of us will just be like, you got to pay your dues. Yeah. That's just part of life, you know. It's true. These people don't have that. They're like, I should. Could you imagine a skateboarder whose mentality was I shouldn't have to get hurt ever?
Starting point is 00:56:38 That's not. That doesn't exist in skateboarding. No. It should be. Falling in skateboarding should be banned. Whoa. How? Skateboarding is not long for this world if that's the case. That's what I hear when they're like ban hate speech. Well this is when we were skating the other day and I was like man
Starting point is 00:56:55 I love skateboarding. You know I feel like everyone needs to at least try it because there's something about getting hurt and trying to – it's not a competitive sport. You are facing only one person, and it's yourself. And when you're able to conquer yourself and learn something that's difficult, that is painful, that you can get bloody ankles, and if you can get past that and you land that trick, even if it's an alley, even if it's just rolling forward, even just that is exciting.
Starting point is 00:57:32 There's actually a really funny thing. Like somehow Adam manages to hit the exact same spot like a couple times per week. It's true. It's like winning. You got to go buy a lottery ticket. I told you I'm lucky. You think I'm joking. How does it keep hitting you in the same spot?
Starting point is 00:57:45 I am lucky, man. I have constant luck, and I am supremely blessed because of it. But this is funny, too. Of course I'm lucky because it keeps hitting the same spot. No, but this is funny. It's like your view of this injury is that it's good luck. It's that you're a lucky person. It's true.
Starting point is 00:58:02 When you have every reason to be angry about it. Instead, it's a funny thing. That's you're a lucky person. It's true. When you have every reason to be angry about it. Instead, it's a funny thing. That's how I view it. And that's funny. I think what we're describing with all this is healthy masculinity. Okay. Enjoying the rye with a smile on your face, the good and the bad, all the things that come with life.
Starting point is 00:58:16 That's a good point. Maybe not even masculinity. The reason I say that is because the idea of getting hurt, I think within reason getting hurt feels good. I agree. And it's not so much that you like pain like you're a masochist or something. The idea of getting hurt, I think, within reason, getting hurt feels good. I agree. And it's not so much that you like pain, like you're a masochist or something. It's annoying.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Like, you get whacked in the shin, and you're like, and you get angry. Yeah. But then you laugh, and you're like, hey, man, you know, that's the name of the game. That proves you're playing. These are the risks that come with it. Yeah. And for me, when I get hurt skating, hurt skating it reminds me of like the point of skating that you are like when i do a trick that fear of trying the new trick is the reward it's like overcoming this mental and physical challenge and when you sometimes get hurts when you sometimes get hurt it's reminding you that that the road traveled well it's reminding
Starting point is 00:59:03 you of what makes the game worth playing exactly you're avoiding this yes you don't want to get hurt it might happen and when it does you're like i got me you got me but when you land that trick you've got five seconds of like a dopamine rush of elation yeah it's true and then after that it never comes back no that's not true well no no what i mean is you just have to keep doing stronger and harder exactly. There was a great essay I read about skateboarding, and they described in very great detail someone doing a really difficult trick down a massive set of stairs. Okay. And it was written like, Adrian sits atop a seven-foot tall, ten-foot long stair set.
Starting point is 00:59:42 His goal right now to make the board spin 360 degrees, flipping end over end one time, catching it midair, landing it, and riding away. And then it goes into great detail. It's like he drops the board to his feet. And then finally when you get to the bottom of the essay, it's like with the board now in the air, his feet firmly on it, he lands. And in that
Starting point is 01:00:00 moment, he feels the greatest feeling of accomplishment he will ever feel in his life. That's awesome. And three seconds later later it's gone yeah and he wants it again and he can't and he won't get high again he can't do the same thing to get that feeling yep he's already done it it's a good point so it's like it's it's all part of that challenge if you don't have that in your life i wonder i have to wonder i mean there's a lot of people and i think there's probably some correlation between the willingness to fight take risks take challenges you know uh complete challenges yeah and wokeness and the sjws who are unwilling and haven't they won't do this they think everything should be bubble wrapped well and they think all
Starting point is 01:00:40 masculinity is toxic and that that couldn't be further from the truth you know like there there needs to be a balance in society of both it's it's you know it's toxic femininity toxic masculinity is like basically being purged out anyway like you get anywhere close to it and they cancel you but there's nothing stopping the left or toxic femininity femininity yeah you know there's another thing, too. I was thinking about this when it came to get what go broke concept. Toxic diversity. Hmm.
Starting point is 01:01:10 I have never heard that. No, I was just thinking about it. Oh, OK. That's what I'm going to call it. So because I think diversity is a good thing. Yeah. Give you an example. Different people from different parts of the world with different perspectives contributing
Starting point is 01:01:21 to solve a big problem like the International Space Station. Good point. A bunch of different nations coming together, and their different views, developments, technology, research helps make the station work. That's absolutely true. It's a great example. Tucker Carlson has Antifa on his show where he debates them. Diversity of opinion and thought. Oh, definitely.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Cool. I didn't know that. Interesting. That's what diversity is supposed to represent, not just skin color, but perspective, ideas. That reminds me of a conversation I was having today with a friend of mine. He didn't want to watch that documentary. And I was like, why? What about it that you don't want to watch?
Starting point is 01:01:56 Oh, well, I heard this and that. And a few other people are saying, oh, well, Candace Owens is in it. So I know what she's all about. So I'm not going to watch the documentary. It's like, so you're admitting to me you're refusing to just even accept to view the opposing side. Well, no, I'm not done. The friend that I was talking to, we were talking for a while about it and eventually got to the point where he was like, you're right.
Starting point is 01:02:22 I'll go watch it. And I was like, yes, go watch it and tell me. Please hit me up right when you're done and call me right i'll go watch it and i was like yes go watch it and tell me please hit me up right when you're done and call me we'll talk are these people purported supporters of black lives matter uh some of them are and they refuse to watch that's right voices speaking out that's correct toxic diversity good point yeah these are exactly so when you see these like movies where it's like you know diversity at the expense of another group that's toxic diversity yeah so like we're gonna we're gonna do a movie with a female lead and then that female all those all the men in the movie are just talking about how dumb men are
Starting point is 01:02:54 toxic diversity you want to sound familiar terry sounds really familiar what how where do i know that from name name one of the movies blocking it out we did a review on it i was gonna say ghostbusters oh ghostbusters okay that's true yeah i was talking about uh but birds of prey yeah well same thing with ghostbusters 2016 it was criticized because they were trying to empower women at the expense of men right exactly whereas wonder woman allows the characters to be strong good or bad in their own right exactly real diversity nailed it. Nailed it. You look at Into the Spider-Verse. Miles Morales' main character, mentored by
Starting point is 01:03:29 an older, divorced, kind of loser Spider-Man. But he's a guy with flaws. That's true. But he's also still a hero who does help Miles become the Spider-Man he needs to be. Honestly, now that I've saw it and I love that movie, it might be my favorite Spider-Man movie.
Starting point is 01:03:46 Out of all of them. I think so. I think so as well. 100%. It was a great movie. I've got to say, I love Homecoming. I'm far from home. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Those ones are pretty good, too. Yeah. Mysterio. I love that. That was great. Oh, no. I haven't seen that one yet. You haven't seen Far From Home?
Starting point is 01:04:02 No. Dude. I haven't. Dude. I've got to see that. I haven't. Dude, dude, dude. I gotta see that. But look, look, look. I gotta see that. I always love referencing the static shock.
Starting point is 01:04:09 I know, yeah. Real diversity. Yeah, the story's great. But then you get birds of prey, toxic diversity. Toxic, yeah. And this is what they do. I think this is an important distinction in toxic diversity because I think it explains what really is at issue here.
Starting point is 01:04:26 I've had conversations with progressives where they're like, you just don't like, you know, you're just supporting racists or whatever. Trying to explain what authoritarian social justice is, you know, where people are canceling, you know, cancel culture and stuff like that. Yeah. But when talking about get woke, go broke, complaining about the Gillette commercial. Right. The Gillette commercial. it's not because of diversity. It's toxic.
Starting point is 01:04:50 It's belittling one group of people, showing a bunch of men and saying, what men do are bad, men are bad, man bad. It's all toxic. Agreed. They could have done. I know what they used to do. It used to be the best a man could be. And it was showing firefighters and heroes.
Starting point is 01:05:07 Yeah. But then they were like, no, let's drag and insult the guys who buy our products. Toxic. Represent the good and show a good example of what people should be doing. Boom. Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse. You have the Japanese, I don't know her name, but she, Kimiko, I think, maybe. She's got the Spider-Mech.
Starting point is 01:05:24 Oh, yeah. You've got Spider-Man Noir. You've got... Nicolas Cageiko, I think, maybe. She's got the spider mech. Oh, yeah. You've got Spider-Man Noir. You've got... Nicolas Cage Spider-Man. Right. That's him. I don't know. Nicolas Cage Spider-Man.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Dude, that was awesome. I love that movie. So good. But nobody complained about that. Yeah. There were no, I mean, there were some people for sure. Was there? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:05:39 I mean, because racists exist. That's true. But the movie's overwhelmingly positive. Everybody loves it. Yeah. Great movie. And then the other funny thing, too, is like with The Last of Us 2. Right the movie's overwhelmingly positive. Everybody loves it. Yeah, great movie. And the other funny thing, too, is, like, with The Last of Us 2,
Starting point is 01:05:48 it's getting a lot of bad reviews. And it's funny when people are like, these men just don't like seeing strong women. And then people are like, The Last of Us has, like, an add-on, DLC. Okay. Nobody complained about that. The first one?
Starting point is 01:06:02 Yeah. So the first game has an add-on where you play as Ellie and another girl, I guess. I don't know a lot about it. But then people reference a ton of games with strong female leads, and they're like, gee, I wonder why no one's complaining about these games.
Starting point is 01:06:17 That's a good point. Maybe there's something toxic about how these games go about their storytelling that you won't accept. So I'll tell you what I'm about to do. I will absolutely accept there's toxic masculinity. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:31 Well, there is. Macho bros who refuse to accept fault for anything, who think they're better than everyone else, they're egotists, they're bullies. And then there's real masculinity. The dude who, you know, runs full speed to, like, push a kid out of the way of a car before the car hits him.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Or the man that caught that baby from the fire yeah what a boss it's like yeah he ran over and caught that baby like awesome or how about a firefighter in general good point runs into a burning building yeah with the real risk to their life life or the police officer who runs towards the gunfire yeah real masculinity yeah toxic masculinity is unearned arrogant you know dominant behavior you don't you know i think you don't think i think toxic masculinity is when you cheat to be a man good good call yeah that's a good point whereas someone who's truly masculine would you know like a tree you know a moderately sized tree is about to fall down on a kid and he runs over and he grabs it he's like and he's like risking himself and he's like trying to stop the tree from crushing a kid.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Yeah. Superhero stuff. Like from Game of Thrones. It's like the king that needs to yell and scream that he's the king is no king at all. 100%. Toxic masculinity
Starting point is 01:07:34 is the guy who brags and lies and pretends like he's better than everyone else to assert his masculinity versus the guy who keeps his mouth shut and is just, you know. Who just simply is the king yep yep yeah man and then there's toxic femininity it's it's it's toxicity i think we need to call out toxic diversity that's great i like that a lot toxic diversity that's really
Starting point is 01:07:57 it's solid we gotta toxic we gotta talk about it is when someone rags on white people, you know, for the sake of like, I'm not racist. And then they do. What is that? That mute white people button on Instagram. Right. Toxic diversity. Toxic. Blaming Asians for their success and saying that we should be allowed to discriminate against them in schools.
Starting point is 01:08:17 Right. Toxic diversity. Exactly. You are not actually trying to help people solve these problems and poverty. You are just being racist yes toxicity that's and what this makes me think of what i said yesterday we people need to stop confusing holding people accountable for their actions or lack of actions with racism because it's not the same thing right it's toxic right yep people do bad things they're like you
Starting point is 01:08:44 can't criticize them. Yeah, exactly. That's toxic diversity. You know? And so that's what I think is happening. We've got to throw it to Jordan Peterson, I guess. We don't know where the line is. So our brands, our institutions will not draw a line and say that's too far.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Yep. We know when the right goes too far. We know when men go too far. What about women? Literally, I've heard attempts at defining toxic femininity from many people and they can't do it. Well, there's actually a rise of I'm seeing this and like Amber, Amber Heard, for example, she it's probably the biggest case of the opposite side of it. And I'm seeing tweets that are flowing around about how you know men don't complain they don't they don't uh because of their masculinity when they get abused they're
Starting point is 01:09:33 more inclined to go i'm not gonna let this affect me or you know complain about it you know so it kind of like gets swept under the rug like it doesn't exist when it clearly does i would define toxic feminine femininity as wrapping an entire room in bubble wrap putting your kids wrapping pillows around their body banning all naughty words banning all hate speech banning all roughhousing and then just like suspending them from a series of elastic straps so that an earthquake wouldn't hurt them and they just don't move. It's like the most extreme version of protecting someone possible. You know who I know that this pisses off? Who?
Starting point is 01:10:12 Lydia. You know how I know? Because of my face. No, no, I can see you're on the edge of your seat. I literally go up on the edge of my seat. It pisses me off. Tim's right about wrapping people in bubble wrap but there's a savage element and it's not the kind of masculine savagery. It's right about wrapping people in bubble wrap, but there's a savage element.
Starting point is 01:10:27 And it's not the kind of masculine savagery. It's not on the front lines. It's underneath. It is sneaky. It is manipulative. I really don't like it because I've seen it. So a feminine savagery, you mean, is what you're saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's under the surface.
Starting point is 01:10:41 Listen, subliminal savagery. Yes, I like that. It's, so I think about if you want to use the word masculinity and femininity, what they're supposed to represent. The masculine is going out on the hunt. The feminine is nurturing and caring and providing for the family. Both can be toxic. The arrogant guy who bullies people and pushes them around
Starting point is 01:11:01 and thinks he's better than everyone else is toxic. The mother that refuses to allow their children to grow up and experience the world wraps them in bubble wrap and snow plows everything is toxic yep you are not helping the children survive you're not helping anybody right mother yeah they're not preparing them for real life what it's really like out there yeah yeah it's not fair it's toxic to the kids and then there's also of course the manipulative you know but you know why i don't i don't necessarily equate that with feminism lying to steal resources is not masculine or feminine i'm talking about i'm talking about using your wiles and using your brains to get what you want i'm not talking about
Starting point is 01:11:41 controlling like means and i'm saying i don't see that has anything to do with you want. I'm not talking about controlling means and outcomes and stuff like that. I don't see that as having anything to do with female or femininity. Interesting. No, because men do it. You've got confident, charismatic men who sell snake oil. That's true. They'll walk up and be like, this year, this guy right here, vote for him, and he'll end racism.
Starting point is 01:11:57 So that just sounds like toxic character. Yes, where's my like button? Wait, hold on. We've got to bind that like button real fast. Oh, yes. There we go. My like button. Oh, I love my like button.
Starting point is 01:12:12 Oh, my gosh. Yes. Okay. What were we talking about? Well, we were supposed to talk about Trump's calling in federal forces. Oh, my gosh. What happened with that? That was like an hour ago.
Starting point is 01:12:27 I was thinking usually it's better to wait to the middle so that everyone can come in and normally we'll go to about nine. Let's actually jump to this. The main actual thing we wanted to talk about. Exclusive.
Starting point is 01:12:44 President Trump threatens federal action in violent Democrat-run cities. Town Hall says during an exclusive interview with Town Hall from the White House Tuesday, President Trump warned his administration will take action if Democratic mayors and governors can't get crime under control. They are cities run by liberal Democrats. We're now looking at having to do something. We have to be asked to go into a city like Chicago, which is so ridiculous, where they had like 68 shootings and 18 deaths
Starting point is 01:13:10 over the weekend. It's not even comprehensible. Worse than Afghanistan. Worse than any war zone. Nightmarish. Can you check off your bingo cards now for Tim Pool saying the word nightmare dystopia? I have it. I have it. Yep. On the right. There you go. Checked. There it is. There it is. We're supposed to be asked. She is supposed to call the mayor Lightfoot, Lori. She's supposed to call and say, we need your help. We call her. Would you like to have us come in? And they don't want us. And I say, what's going on? During the interview, Trump said police in cities like Chicago and New York, New York City aren't allowed to do their jobs and are terrified of legal action. We are going to have to do something very comprehensive. It means sending people in.
Starting point is 01:13:48 It means sending people in to clean up. There's a point at which we're allowed to go in, and that point is rapidly being reached. There's a point at which we will have to do it because we just have to do it for the good of the country. When asked about what threshold must be met before federal action is taken, the president said carnage and death is his standard. I'm pretty sure we're past that. Yeah, Chicago's, you know, it's funny because Chicago was the most dangerous city in America for a while. And then it started to get a little bit better for a little bit there for a couple years. And man, is it a war zone again.
Starting point is 01:14:24 It's getting worse. And it's getting worse and and it's getting worse you know and and and this makes a good point like the cops aren't allowed to do their job for fear and they're terrified of legal action i i watched a video of um nypd training of what they have to go through and they're they are now not allowed to do most non-lethal tactics anymore. Like leaning on their chest, leaning on their back, sitting on them. Like I get the, you know, you don't want people to kill anybody. But they're now riding between not doing anything and the only means which is pulling their gun when they're in fear of their life. Which is the last thing I want.
Starting point is 01:15:05 I don't want people pulling guns. I don't want them to have to use lethal force. I think Crowder was talking about this. Like the use of chokeholds is a is a less lethal tactic for the escalation. Didn't he choke out one of his? Yes, he did. Let's not do that on this show. Can we not?
Starting point is 01:15:20 Like, do you know, you know, kids would play the pass out game? No. Remember that? No. I'm not going to explain what they do, but kids would play the pass out game no remember that no i'm not going to explain what they do but they purposely made themselves pass out they would go in like smart in grade school they'd be like and then you'd they'd fall over and everyone would laugh is this another one of those tiktok challenges i wouldn't be surprised but this is back when i was a kid oh
Starting point is 01:15:37 okay yeah it's basically you know how to do a choke hold the original tiktok real life yeah well they were doing that the skull breaker challenge yeah terrible make someone jump and then knock jeez man these kids are nuts but anyway trump sending in the troops you see in oregon as soon as the feds came in to defend federal jurisdiction yeah the federal courthouse trump's occupying army that's what they said yeah this annoys me because they they've been it's always this back and forth game they keep going with trump they're like how come he's not doing anything and he's like i'll do something if you want me to and they're like how dare he try to do something
Starting point is 01:16:15 at all and he's like okay i'll back off how dare he say he's gonna back off like and it's just like back and forth and back and forth and back and forth i hope american people can see this oh i think they can man they're like fairly certain donald donald trump says i'm gonna go in and we're gonna clean up covid we got serious problems and they're like you have no right you have no authority over the states you can't tell them what to do right you can't shut them down now they're like it's all trump's fault how dare he not shut all the states down? How dare he? It's the weirdest thing that New York is the problem. And New Jersey. And New Jersey.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Both of them. Those are the big problems. Yep. And why are they blaming Trump for this? Yeah, why? He can't control what the governors did. And the governors locked down. Right.
Starting point is 01:16:59 And then they did a bunch of other really messed up things. And while they were doing it, they had their chins high. They said, I dare you to do something, Trump. Hmm. I dare you. really messed up and while they were doing it they were they had their their chins high they said i dare you to do something trump i dare you and like bring it on you know what man i think we're it's all his fault i don't think people realize exactly where we are in terms of the dramatic escalation i think yeah i don't i was watching oh yeah, Knowing with Nicolas Cage We were watching Knowing And it's like
Starting point is 01:17:28 It's a 20 year old movie so spoiler alert The planet blows up I don't know, there's like a solar flare But there's a scene at the end of the movie Where the solar flare hits And it shows you like an overview of New York With a fire sweeping across You could be standing in like Battery Park At the southern the southern tip of Manhattan Island, and not realize that
Starting point is 01:17:48 in one minute, a giant wave of fire was going to blow you up. Yeah. And so people are standing there just doing nothing, you know, not realizing in a minute later, they're gone. I think that's where we're at. I think, I think the figurative meteor has slammed into the planet already. And the wave is now sweeping across, but people don't realize how bad it already is it's a good point i think we're really close to donald trump i think i think we're closer than closer to presidential directive 51 we've ever been to i think there's
Starting point is 01:18:14 a really good possibility come november trump is gonna is that bush who put that into place yeah yeah it was like you know i think it was in 07 okay could be wrong but uh i think we're really close to trump enacting presidential directive 51 which would reform the government and create a continuity coordinator and dissolve and restructure it due to catastrophe i mean at this point i wouldn't be surprised if most of the country was like oh finally seriously well so with the threat of war with the chaos in the streets when i mentioned i mentioned this several times the cdc having these employees yeah if the cdc declares racism a public health crisis what does that mean i have no idea are we going to get to the point where i've mentioned before like you must destroy your copy of the constitution because
Starting point is 01:19:03 it was made by racists and racism is killing people you don't want to kill people do you well then you can't support racism right that's funny i was listening to a speech from obama and he said uh if anyone has any doubts that america isn't amazing that and you can do anything that our forefathers didn't didn't make this happen let there be no more doubts yeah and it's like that wasn't that long ago right like where where did that happen what like imagine if if trump said that right now imagine if trump said that right now people would flip yep and it's like we had two what's the difference it's true two terms of obama right that means people voted for trump voted for obama people that voted for obama then went to vote for trump It's true. Two terms of Obama. Right. That means people voted for Trump,
Starting point is 01:19:49 voted for Obama. People that voted for Obama then went on to vote for Trump. That's true. But they're all racists. I look at what's going on and I think there's a hurricane of brewing, man. Yeah, it's it's it's it's made landfall and people are sitting there thinking I'm just going to sit back and wait for this to all. I'll throw another Shaun of the Dead reference. The zombie apocalypse is here. They're they're romping about there. They're thinking, I'm just going to sit back and wait for this to all. And I'll throw another Shaun of the Dead reference. The zombie apocalypse is here. They're romping about. They're smashing people. They're biting and killing. And you get these people who are like, let's go to the Winchester and wait for this to all blow over.
Starting point is 01:20:15 And so they go to the pub and think the zombies won't come. Zombies do come. And so I think it's substantially worse than people realize. Yeah. When you see, you know, what's going on with the rioting, with COVID. Let's talk about the economy. The stocks are skyrocketing right now. So I have, the only stock I have is Square.
Starting point is 01:20:35 Actually, this was a funny little disclaimer we did at the beginning of the Joe Rogan podcast with Dorsey. I was like, full disclosure, I've got a small amount of Square stock because he's the CEO. Oh, yes. It has doubled. Doubled. Wow. like full disclosure i've got a small amount of square stock because he's the ceo it is it is doubled doubled wow in a couple like two months doubled that's insane yeah i wonder if these are death throes hmm yeah so so listen mortgage uh housing payments were missed 32 people aren't paying rent people aren't working yeah jobs are coming back and all that stuff but i've mentioned this before man when the economy was just stopped by all these governors not by trump the train doesn't just go boop and stop every car starts ramming into the next and
Starting point is 01:21:15 all that energy gets transferred and the whole train starts flipping over and crashing off the tracks you can't just stop it so the damage that's hit the tax base it's funny. New York City says we're going to defund the police by a billion dollars. You know what I think? They needed that money. They needed that money elsewhere. Bingo. The trains are collapsing. Sure. We'll defund it because we were so broke. And De Blasio's going, thank you. Thank you for giving me an excuse. We are in serious trouble. Yep. And people are fleeing. I went on a Zillow.com real estate website. In the past 30 days, New York City, 7,600 entries for real estate for sale. Wow.
Starting point is 01:21:51 For sale. Do you know how many listings there were in the two months before? 5,000. Oh, 5,000? I'm sorry. Did you say 750,000? 7,000. Oh, 7,000.
Starting point is 01:22:04 Okay, okay. So listen. It didn't go up that much then. In two months, you had about 5,000 listings. Yeah. The next month, which was last month, 7,600. Well, that's a pretty big bump. What happened in the last month that tripled the amount of listings? It's not just buildings.
Starting point is 01:22:21 It's condos and residences. Oh, sure, sure. Yeah, it's the collapse, man. A lot of these people probably already left. They're no longer paying taxes to the city or the state. Now they're selling their property.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Good luck selling it. The prices are going to collapse. When that happens, the tax base has already been eroding. They were already in trouble. That's just New York. You know what? They're going to rename the city
Starting point is 01:22:42 New Flint. New Flint. Yep. It's going to be like Detroit. Yep, exactly. They're going to rename the city New Flint. New Flint. Yep. It's going to be like Detroit. Yep. Exactly. They're not going to be able to support clean water. Well, I think New York's water source is actually really clean, and they're lucky because it comes from up north in the mountains and stuff.
Starting point is 01:22:54 Yeah, that's true. But New York was already hurting. Then COVID happened. Then the riots happened. The economy is in really bad shape, more than anyone realizes. Now, Trump, I believe, is obligated to be optimistic because if he came out and said it's worse than you realize, people would panic. That would lead to more destruction. Good point. I think Trump's best he can do is tout the good numbers. But what does the media do? No matter what happens,
Starting point is 01:23:20 it's bad. It's like, you know, record breaking jobs month. And they go, they're like, this is actually, you know, not true because these were furloughs and Trump's just lying. It's like, can you can you let people have this one? Can you get you can take the win? Can you let the American people think that at least? Because who cares about Trump at this moment? Let the American people have a little bit of hope. Confidence. How about that? Confidence. Start working. Yes, exactly. And things will recover. But I'm going to be honest. And I'm not trying to say this to be a naysayer or pessimistic. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:23:51 But look at... Go ahead. Say it. Just say it. What were you going to say? Mortgage-backed securities. What were you going to say? I'm saying it.
Starting point is 01:23:56 Oh, okay. Yeah. People aren't paying their mortgages. What happens when the mortgages go delinquent? The banks default on their... The loans default. Yep. Then the banks default and we get 07 again.
Starting point is 01:24:08 That's true. So guess whose fault it's going to be? In the mainstream media, guess who they're going to blame? No, no, no, no, no. I think it's COVID. I think there's nothing that could be done. It's nobody's fault.
Starting point is 01:24:17 Now we can blame the Democratic governors for a lot of things, particularly putting COVID patients in nursing homes. But now that they're demanding these ridiculous restrictions, I got to say, man, first and foremost, you get your health advice from your doctor and nobody else. Period. Nobody else. But maybe Trump is right. There was like a leaked memo where apparently Trump is saying we're gonna have to learn to live with this.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Like COVID is here. We can't just stop. The economy has to function. It's true. And maybe he's right. I mean, this whole thing about people being upset about masks is most people wear masks. Most people wear masks. I don't mind wearing a mask. There are people who don't wear masks. Some high-profile people do. There are some people that don't wear masks.
Starting point is 01:24:59 That's very true. But for the most part, nobody cares about wearing a mask. We'll wear a mask if we need to. Trump wore a mask. People want to work again. They need to get back to work. Period. Yep.
Starting point is 01:25:11 We need to make it happen. But that ripple from when the meteor dropped into that water. Yep. That damage from the economy from the initial COVID lockdown. You're right. It's going to rip apart everything. It's going to. The craziest thing to me when I see these
Starting point is 01:25:26 activists posting things like print money and I'm just sitting here like, listen, listen, Alyssa Milano, you saw that? Yeah, I did. When she was like, we are not going back to school. We're just print money and give it to people. There's no reasoning with her rage. Nope.
Starting point is 01:25:41 She's addicted to it. You're right. And that idea of just not working, sitting back and printing money, leads to one thing. The end of America. Yep. It's not an exaggeration. It's not hyperbolic to say. No. If you just keep printing money and no one produces, you will have hyperinflation.
Starting point is 01:25:58 And this will have a profound detrimental effect on the rest of the planet. Hyperinflation and no products to even... Exactly. But nothing will be worth anything. That's why the money becomes worthless. And what happened in Venezuela? Yeah. That's exactly what happened in Venezuela.
Starting point is 01:26:12 What can you do with your money? Let's say someone gave you a million bucks right now. What would you do? Now, for now, you could buy a Tesla. I'd buy a house. I'd buy a house. There's things you could do. Could you go to an infinity pool on a rooftop bar? Probably. No, you can't. Why not?
Starting point is 01:26:28 Because they're closed. They're relocking everything down. That's a good point. The point is that these luxury items that gave the money value in the first place. I'm pretty sure the million dollars I could do it though. I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced. Because it's a lot of these people who have access to this are part of the anti-Trump, you know, shut it all down train.
Starting point is 01:26:48 Good point. They're not. They're going to be like, what are you crazy? I'm not going to risk grandma's life for you. Now, I'm sure there are a bunch of rich people who know where to go and do their thing. You know what I mean? The point is a million dollars. Okay, maybe over the top.
Starting point is 01:27:01 If you had a hundred bucks, could you go to the bar down the street, sit down, have a pint? You can't. Nope. So how much value does the money have if services have been erased? It has less already. It has less value? Yeah. So then when someone says, I'll give you a hundred bucks, you can go, I can't even do anything with a hundred bucks. What am I going to do? Buy a bag of potatoes? Okay, how about 200 bucks? I guess I can get two bags of potatoes. Fine, I'll take 200 bucks. The less the dollar can do, the less value it has. It's as simple as basic understanding of reality. If you had a machine that could
Starting point is 01:27:30 drive, it could be a boat, a car, or a plane, that's a valuable machine. Especially if it's very safe. That's got to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Look at a regular car versus a Tesla. The more versatile, the more it can do, the more valuable it is. US dollar works the same way.
Starting point is 01:27:45 Yep. If you can't buy anything with it, what were we trying to order? Skateboards? Yep. A specific skateboard? Sold out. Sold out. Can't get them.
Starting point is 01:27:53 Yep. So what it's like, if someone came to me and said, you know, obviously you need money for food, but there was a point I made before. What if you have food? What if you work at a market, you have a bunch of excess food you can't get rid of because business has been slowed down. And someone comes and says, I'll give you $100 to do a thing. You're going to be like, I got food.
Starting point is 01:28:12 I don't know what I would do with it. Everything's shut down. I don't drive anywhere. I mean, I guess I'll take it. Money's money. At a certain point, if we lose – so right now, people still have confidence in the dollar. So the dollar will have value. But what happens in – they're saying it's gonna be another nine or 12 months
Starting point is 01:28:27 of lockdown. What happens in a year of continued lockdown? And then it gets to the point where people start losing confidence and they say, I mean, I could take your dollars, but I can't really do anything with them. So do you have anything else? Looking at the death rates,
Starting point is 01:28:42 the whole, now no one's talking about the death rates at all. It's like nonexistent. No one's talking about it because they're really low. No one's dying anymore. Yeah. I mean, yes, it exists. But it's like the one story like, wow, so this one person died today of COVID. And it's like, that's it?
Starting point is 01:29:01 One person? Isn't that fantastic? Yeah, because people can have it because it's it's a like a regular coronavirus like the term coronavirus has been weaponized now yeah it's craziness i think we're in trouble and it almost feels like there are people who are so dumb they don't realize you have the choice between people are going to get sick and they're going to die and Trump or lock everyone in their homes. And everyone will die worse. And just strip everyone's resources away and just –
Starting point is 01:29:36 Wither and die. What do you do about a person like Alyssa Milano who doesn't realize – it's like imagine you found somebody who was like, you know, blind, deaf, and dumb. And they're just like totally incapable and you just put their finger on a trigger for a nuclear bomb. You can't reason with them. They're going to go, just not knowing what to do.
Starting point is 01:29:58 Alyssa Milano's got tons of followers. She has no idea what she's talking about, but she's angry. And she's firing off 50 cows in a random direction. Just print money, print money, and it's like you're destroying everything. Stop. No, because Orange Man is bad. Yep.
Starting point is 01:30:13 That's what's going to happen. All these people on Twitter. You know what, man? It's like if I was targeting a foreign country, working for a military or whatever, you could not ask for a more perfect outcome to destabilize and destroy your enemy. You're absolutely right. Having a bunch of people demand the government do nonsensical things that destroy their own country,
Starting point is 01:30:34 and they're doing it. And there's no reasoning with them because they're addicted to anger. You're absolutely right. How do we pull out of this tailspin? I'm trying to figure the answer. Residential Directive 51. Every single day.
Starting point is 01:30:44 Every single day, I try to figure the answer residential directive every single day every single day i i've tried to figure it out i i thomas soul is an economist i watch an every try to do a new interview every single day that i don't i didn't watch before he he's an incredible smart incredibly smart man that everyone needs to go listen to i think we're close to the point where we end up with hardcore authoritarianism from the right. Yeah, but knowing I mean, I just I've been diving into Trump lately and I know the type of person he is. I don't think that he wants that. I think he I think he believes in the American life, the American freedom, the American way, the dream of being an American.
Starting point is 01:31:26 I think both sides are at a point where there's no reconciliation. Good point. And both are going to demand of their own faction. The only way to save our country is to violently purge the other side. It's a shame. The conversations I've had with people, i'm sure the conversations you've had when you see children disowning their parents parents selling their children or whatever yeah like how do we get past that if i think november is going to be a hoot
Starting point is 01:31:55 say the least too man i think it's going to be it's i mean i gotta learn how to not only not only november i think going from this point to November, it's just going to get crazier and crazier. Yeah, dude. This has been the craziest year of my life, hands down. I'm pretty sure everyone can say that. Everyone, everyone. Most people can say that. Let's jump over to the Super Chats.
Starting point is 01:32:18 Oh, yes. David Holguin says, you three give this American-Mexican conservative hope for the future. I appreciate that. Thank you. Great. I meanican conservative hope for the future. I appreciate that. Thank you. Great. I mean, glad you enjoyed the show. I hope that is still true at this point. BG says, read today that there are 17 million plus primary votes for Trump across 31 states
Starting point is 01:32:35 so far. Previous incumbent record is 9 million. Is this a sign of support growth or is it explained by the base's enthusiasm or both? Both, I'd imagine. Both. Definitely. I think there's probably some other factors in there as well i think i think it's going to be a landslide i got a uh a hefty super chat from eternal genju here he says with regards to uh masculine versus feminine archetypes manipulating others to resolve your issues
Starting point is 01:32:59 is inherently a feminine means according to evolutionary psychology. It was needed when they had to rear child. Tim's confusion is because only feminine methods of attack are allowed now. Perhaps. Interesting, yeah. Somebody, Harpoon Trading says, Tim Pool equals Ben Shapiro in disguise. Changed my mind. I think I'm substantially less Jewish than Ben Shapiro.
Starting point is 01:33:24 I think so, yeah. Good point. That so yeah good point that's a good that's a lot more asian a lot a lot yeah yeah you know what's funny it's like uh the videos i've seen of ben shapiro the ones that get recommended to me or the ones that people share i almost always agree with but then when i actually watch him and his full i'm like wow i disagree with him a lot okay a lot a lot he's got a very i got a lot he's got a lot of religious positions for instance yeah and so it's like i think the sharing of certain liberty-minded you know libertarian and liberty-minded ideals american freedom stuff yeah that overlap allows us to be like i agree like
Starting point is 01:34:02 that's great i you know appreciate what he saying. Freedom. Yeah. I actually think you guys might have similar personalities. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. That's what I came up with. I know you guys disagree on a lot. Probably. I've only just started listening to him. And because there was an interview with Jordan Peterson and Shapiro and David Rubin was kind of moderating it.
Starting point is 01:34:23 And it was. Yeah. It was insightful. Right. it. And it was insightful. Great. Yeah. Let's see what we got here. REO says, I'm a couple minutes behind live, but I would define toxic femininity as the rejection of anything considered to be masculine without reasonable discretion under the guise of it being toxic or being part of the patriarchy. Well, that's just, I think that derives from it.
Starting point is 01:34:43 That kind of scratches the surface. Yeah. It's like, it think that derives from it. That kind of scratches the surface. Yeah, it's like, it is true. Yes. Right. But it's so much more than just that. I think toxic femininity breeds that, but it's something else. Good point. Justin says, drugs never should have been treated as a criminal issue.
Starting point is 01:34:58 They should have been treated as a mental health issue. Boom. Smash the like button. Smash that like button. Oh, was it you saying, or did they say that? They said it. Nice. Smash. Smash the like button. Smash that like button. Oh, were you saying or did they say that? They said it. Nice. Smash.
Starting point is 01:35:07 Smash it. Villa Music Dude says, hey guys, Peter Schiff had predicted 2008 and I believe Robert Kiyosaki was on the same train. Listen to what he has to say. He was on Joe Rogan today.
Starting point is 01:35:19 Episode should release tomorrow. Schiff was Ron Paul's economic advisor. What did he say? What is he saying? We will find out tomorrow. Is it the end? I don't know who that is. Do I buy gold? Oh gosh. I will look that's economic advisor. What did he say? What is he saying? We will find out tomorrow. Is it the end? I don't know who that is. Do I buy gold? Oh gosh. I will look that up. Tim. What?
Starting point is 01:35:29 He's saying a US dollar crisis is much closer than people think. When it hits it's game over. No more can kicking. The paper must be the piper must be paid. What does that mean? He's literally saying what you're saying. The US dollar if it's worthless is it's over. It's over. It's totally done. We're printing money. We must stop printing money.
Starting point is 01:35:45 I think one of the reasons stocks are skyrocketing right now. Because they're switching from money to stocks. And because at least in the stock, you know, at least the stocks control the actual production of some kind of resource.
Starting point is 01:35:54 Good point. But I don't know. I don't know. You must be watching our show too because that was 30 minutes ago. Oh, wow. I wonder if... We're on fire tonight, Tim.
Starting point is 01:36:02 Yeah, man. Look, if you have a company that literally can produce a thing, is owning a part of that more valuable than having just a piece of green paper? You know, the thing. That thing. The thing you produce. Look fat. Look fat.
Starting point is 01:36:18 A dollar crisis, man. Yeah. I don't know if y'all have noticed, but I'm going to give you a hint. If you watch any of my videos, and even some of these, you'll notice advertisements. Those advertisements tell you what I've been searching for. Yes. I noticed it. Two big things.
Starting point is 01:36:33 I noticed it. Do you know what the first big thing is? Skate ramp. Skate ramp. Do you know what the second big thing is? Gold. Gold. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:40 Skateboard ramps. We got these ramps that are like uh really easy to build but i don't want to call them cheap we'll call them inexpensive they're pretty legit they're okay yeah i mean they're not like permanent the real mini ramp we have skate light and everything it's from keen ramps yeah i love it amazing one of the best i've ever skated i'm really impressed so smooth yeah and then we got these the ramp tech ones ones. For what they are, they're incredible. They're pretty legit. But they're inexpensive, easy to build, and they're good. They're good.
Starting point is 01:37:10 They're fun. I really enjoy them. But if you've got the budget, man, Keen Ramps, that's a fantastic company. Fantastic. They've got really good stuff. Let's read some more of these. The best. Super chats. The best.
Starting point is 01:37:18 Tracy Nolan says, Breaking Report, 33 Florida labs were just busted. Cooking the books. Reporting 98% positive rates rather than 9.8. Is that true? It is. Interesting. I'm going to look it up.
Starting point is 01:37:30 I want to find, I want to hard source on that. We were talking about it earlier. Yeah. I want to hard source. I want to put it out there. COVID numbers, man. You got to spike them up through the roof to make people afraid. Fox News.
Starting point is 01:37:42 Fox News says it. They are not reporting negative test results. That would skew things a little bit. Oh, wow. Fox News. Fox News says it. They are not reporting negative test results. That would skew things a little bit. Oh, wow. Holy cow. So it's all positive because that's the only thing.
Starting point is 01:37:52 100%. That's amazing. Nice. Excellent. Jeremy Boone says, what is your take on how the military and police will react
Starting point is 01:37:59 if your proposed civil war scenario takes place? Both have oaths to support and defend the Constitution. They take very seriously. I'll tell you what's going to happen. When the mob showed up to the McCloskey's house and started, you know, threatening and screaming and breaking the fence, and the
Starting point is 01:38:13 McCloskey's on their own property with their constitutionally protected right to bear arms and castle doctrine law said, get off my property. The police showed up and seized Mark McCloskey's rifle. The police just did what the mob told them to do. They did not serve the Constitution. They said, sorry, we know there's a Constitution, but our oath is to follow orders, not the law. What happened when the governors locked down all of these businesses in violation of the Constitution. And Bill de Blasio himself said no protests allowed, except for Black Lives Matter. The police said, sorry, the Constitution is something we wipe our butts with, not actually swear an oath to.
Starting point is 01:38:53 Oh, that's what that is. But what's that directive? Directive 51. Right. So if he actually enacts that and takes over, he goes, these are your orders now. They'll all say yes. I know they will. Pathetic.
Starting point is 01:39:11 The McCloskeys licked the boot of these police officers because, in my opinion, they're pathetic. You don't have to, I'm not saying defy. I'm saying when the police show up to your house and said, we're seizing your rifle, you say, no. You say, okay. Yeah. Serve the warrant. Yep. Have a nice day.
Starting point is 01:39:21 And F you. Not, I know you're sorry about this sorry they're violating the constitution on your own property castle doctrine law and second amendment and you're just going to be like these nice police officers are just doing their jobs well they're lawyers and they they clearly want to abide by the law yes that's not what i'm talking about at all no i know but i'm just pointing that out though that's all I'm doing. And they should absolutely abide by the law, as should everybody. And then you can condemn the police for just following orders.
Starting point is 01:39:53 You can condemn the government. You can condemn all of them. And they say, we're not going to blame the police for just doing their job. And then I had people tweeting at me when I said this. They were like, you've got to strike at the root, which is the prosecutors and the government. No, the root references the smallest bit that leads up to the trunk of the tree. Each individual officer who says, I will tear up the Constitution when asked, that's the problem. If every single officer, like we saw the sheriffs in Virginia and across the country,
Starting point is 01:40:19 said, I will not enforce unconstitutional laws. If every city cop said that. In Ohio, in Florida, in Texas. I've seen it all over the place that. In Ohio, in Florida, in Texas. I've seen it all over the place. That they're like, no way. We're not going to be the mask police. So to clarify, when it comes to the big cities and conflict breaks out, the governors are going to call for unconstitutional things. And the police are going to have a smile on their face as they stomp the boot on yours.
Starting point is 01:40:42 I don't know. New York had 400,000 applicants to retire. 400,000? Some crazy. No, maybe. It was up like 400% or something. Or maybe that's what it was. 400%.
Starting point is 01:40:56 Some sort of an incredible increase that they had to stop it. They were like, sorry, no one can retire right now. No one can retire. I'm not saying that all cops are bad. Right. A lot of cops are going to say no. They're like, sorry, no one can retire right now. No one can retire. I'm not saying that all cops are bad. Right. A lot of cops are going to say no. They're going to quit. They're going to blue flu. They're going to turn the other way. They're not going to force it.
Starting point is 01:41:14 But there will be cops. I'll clarify this. There will absolutely be police who care not for the Constitution at all. They're going to be like, look, man, I get paid $27,000 a year. I'm going to just do what i'm told because i gotta go back to my parents basement after this i'm not exaggerating i'm not i'm not trying to make fun of new york this is a huge story in new york that a lot of the cops that they hire get paid trash wages and live in their
Starting point is 01:41:39 at their parents homes it was a big story so they're gonna be like i don't know man i just gotta do my thing right there will you know, it's really funny. The small town cops, probably the bulk in this country of police are refusing. No doubt. Yeah. I just looked it up. It was 400, 400% increase in retirement in New York. NYPD.
Starting point is 01:41:58 Oh, yeah. I think I did see that. They're like, we're out of here. Yep. This is insane. It's not working. Yep. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:03 We're like, we put our lives on the line. Let me rephrase this to clarify. There's going to be patriots and there's going to be stormtroopers. The stormtroopers are the people who will stay in the government and just do whatever they're told in defiance of the Constitution.
Starting point is 01:42:19 And the patriots will be people who either resign or join up and say we will not allow you to destroy the law. You must follow the law. So many cops in these cities are breaking the law and don't care. They would rather follow orders than the law. But who will hold the governor accountable for unlawful order? Isn't it true that people in the military have a requirement to defy unlawful orders? I don't know. We'll look it up. Somebody tweeted that saying, this is one of the big problems. In the military, if you're given an unlawful order i don't know somebody somebody tweeted that saying this is one of the big problems like in the military if you're good if you're given an unlawful order you say no it's against the law right and the police though are just like i mean they took an oath to defend
Starting point is 01:42:56 this country to anything foreign and domestic right that's in the oath isn't it i believe yeah i think so i don't know you know it's interesting too because these uh some there's a particular somebody who has been quite vocal on my facebook page and yet can't stand the governor like i'm like well here's here's this information from your governor like how how do you describe oh well the governor's the worst man he's the worst and like well why are you fighting me why why what are you fighting right now i don't understand because what i'm saying i'm with you he is the worst that's what i'm saying right now the democrats are ruining these countries or these uh these cities yes it is you know these states they basically they are they're ruining them. Yeah. It's crazy, man.
Starting point is 01:43:49 I'm going to jump back to make sure I don't miss any of the earlier Super Chats. Sure. Long Dong John says, would Section 230 reform still help if the social media platforms decide to offshore? Can it be enforced against what would then be foreign companies? Yes. They wouldn't be able to operate. But it's interesting because I don't think they would just block the website. So I have no idea how that would work.
Starting point is 01:44:08 That's one of the problems. Something to think about. I'd be willing to bet that Facebook's going to go, okay, we'll go to China. Yeah. Congratulations. What else do you do? The Brat says, my favorite podcast, Eclipsing Beauty and the Beta. Tim, no matter who you vote for, still love you. Lydia TY for having a camera to see you.
Starting point is 01:44:24 Adam, a heartbreaker. Soy Jesus, spin that. S, still love you. Lydia TY for having a camera to see you. Adam, a heartbreaker. Soy Jesus, spin that S hit. Oh. Yeah, I hear you. I'm going to spin that S hit. The Joker 201 says, You keep telling us to speak up, but you have the platform to lead.
Starting point is 01:44:40 How can we stand up without support of people? If every single person, literally every single person who opposed cancel culture just went out in the street right now and started yelling no cancel culture. Yep. The whole country would change overnight. Right. But everyone keeps saying they believe in the silent majority, but won't say anything because they don't actually believe in the silent majority.
Starting point is 01:45:01 If you believe the silent majority was real, you would go on your porch right now and yell MAGA or Trump. That is exactly what I'm doing. I am doing that right now. I am challenging the people that I know personally in my life, challenging them to do their own research. And for the people who say this to us, that we have a platform to lead, what do you think we're doing here? What do you think we're doing? We're critically thinking about the problems that are facing us right now. If you're here, you are part of the conversation and you are doing it too.
Starting point is 01:45:35 And that's what we need. But you need to look, if you work for a company and someone comes to your office or to your cubicle or to your station and they're like, we want you to sign this letter, then you should say no. I think that'll put a target on my back, and I'm really scared about the state of politics right now, and I think this is inappropriate for our workplace. I respect what you're saying. I understand, but I think you're going to put me
Starting point is 01:45:56 in harm's way, and that scares me. That's a neutral way to actually challenge this. You have so many companies where they're going to put out these brand statements. Brand respects group of people, and you don't have to come out and say MAGA, Trump, free speech and all that stuff. And I refuse or blue lives matter or defend the police. You can literally be like, I think you're putting me at risk. I think you're going to make the white supremacists come after me. Don't do it. Stop. And that's enough to, to, to, to, to stop, you know, the extremism, this constant spread of this ideology. When it comes to the people roaming the streets, there needs to be protests. Now, to be fair, Blue Lives Matter
Starting point is 01:46:32 protests were massive across the country. There were big protests this past, you know, weekend or whatever. There was. Yeah. And then we even, I even have a story right now, I think. Did I actually pull it up? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at this. Pro-police agitators and Black Lives Matter protesters clash in Brooklyn. Look at this. Agitators. And protesters. Protesters. But at least the people came out to defend what they thought was right.
Starting point is 01:46:54 Pro-police agitators. Oh, spare me. They're protesting. Yep. They're all protesting. Everybody. Look, that's where it starts. Time Magazine.
Starting point is 01:47:04 You're up against the media. Great narrative. Nice nice nice narrative time magazine i used to respect you look used to look what they say about shame on you dave rubin you know what i mean the things they say about this guy yeah he's like he has a talk show and they accuse him of platforming people it's like so they'll accuse him of the most ridiculous things taking money from the coke brothers to fund like far right blah blah whatever it's like what are you'll accuse him of the most ridiculous things, taking money from the Koch brothers to fund like far right, blah, blah, blah, whatever. It's like, what are you talking about? The Koch brothers did some event with George Soros or something. Like the Koch brothers are industrialists.
Starting point is 01:47:32 They're not in agreement with what Dave Rubin is doing. Right. Not necessarily. I think the bigger concern from a lot of people is the Mercers, not the Koch brothers. But it's like a narrative. So when you get someone like Dave who's actually going to sit down with someone, have a conversation, that's not supposed to be, you know,
Starting point is 01:47:47 not part of the mainstream narrative. They will lie. They will try to cancel him. And sometimes it works against a lot of people. They've been canceled, have been banned, lost their income. Well,
Starting point is 01:47:58 yeah. You know, when you skateboard, you fall. Adam got a big old bloody gash on his ankle. And guess what? He was skating just the other day. What's that called? Paying your dues? Paying your dues.
Starting point is 01:48:07 And you know what? I'll have bloody ankles again one day. Yep. Because I'm not going to stop. The cost of tray flip is high. But the price I'm willing to pay, and I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one. So if you want to land a tray flip, that means you might bang up your ankles. But if I'm the only one,
Starting point is 01:48:24 then so be it. But I'm willing to bet i'm not here here here here tim i am so patriotic once again ripping off captain america home brian says grant imahara passed away last night rip a great scientist yeah that's sad man he's 49 so young that dude was rad he was one of the mythbusters guys his optimistic nature was was just infectious that whole show they were all having fun with science and it was great some of them are just becoming orange man bad cultists you know yeah yeah dude i mean it happens that's so weird man it is the narrative though it's. That's so weird, man. It is the narrative, though. It's everyone. It's contagious. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:49:07 I don't even want to get into it anymore. Cuddle Panda says those volcano sharks are proof Sharkboy and Lavagirl are real. Oh, yeah. Confirmed. Jay Merger says the Babylon 5 storyline is coming. Respect the chain of command. Civilians are not supposed to order the military. Oh.
Starting point is 01:49:24 Bree Evans says, Hi, guys. Found out my younger brother watches you guys, too. And he said, we're cast buddies. Oh, cute. Nice. I love it. Thanks for providing something for us to bond over while being thousands of miles apart.
Starting point is 01:49:35 Spin the UFO for Hawaii and Maryland. Oh, that's cool. That's really sweet. Bringing family together. I love it. I'm spinning that for you guys. For both of you. Two for one.
Starting point is 01:49:43 From sea to shining sea. Heavy Arms Guy says, I'm spinning that for you guys. For both of you. Two for one. From C to Shining C. Heavy Arms Guy says, Got my Twitter temporarily suspended for criticizing Nick Cannon's comment against specific ethnic individuals. Thanks, 2020. Of course. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:56 What he said was so insane. Racist? Beyond racist. Black identity extremism. That's true. And we lived on that street where that black identity extremist killed that Latino and that Asian cop. That's true. We've seen it firsthand right in front of our home what people like nick cannon bring about yeah they need to be called out but you know what what they say is allowed it's it's being it's on twitter nobody cares he straight up says he he's
Starting point is 01:50:21 spouting the words of fair con it. It's beyond that. He is calling certain races subhuman. That's true. Think about what Molyneux got banned for. That's exactly it. That's what their argument is. It's worse. It was way worse than what he said. I don't know the full details, but Molyneux was basically using metaphors about
Starting point is 01:50:39 predator and prey and stuff like that. That was enough. But to be fair, again, I don't watch. Didn't watch. So I want to be careful about, you know, my criticisms or statements about Malinuka. I didn't watch his content, so. But Nick Cannon just comes out right out and says it.
Starting point is 01:50:53 He's like, I'm going to be careful here, but here's the thing. I'm going to be careful saying this, but I'm dropping bombs. Racist supremacists. Racist bombs. And they allow it. They allow it.
Starting point is 01:51:03 It's crazy. Yeah, man. Welcome to 2020, huh? All right all right let's see where are we at yeah do philip hunter says i've been following since occupy love the trajectory iran do you guys believe we should help those who ask for it and align with our interests um are you talking about states you think or like the state general or or maybe the countries because we were talking about policing the world in this in a sense oh i see i see i see could it could have been either or i'd say the answer is half yes well we already do help everybody in in a sense you know i i think bringing doing what trump is doing he's trying to make america really strong
Starting point is 01:51:41 and i think we can do that we can show we are on the forefront of showing what it's like to be free and maintain that freedom. And we are at a very pivotal moment in our in our history of of America. We're still considered young. We're a young country. We're still figuring things out. And we're at a very, very crucial point that it could just spiral out of control. And there's a lot of people that want to see that happen. And we need to stand up and stop it. From the ashes of the old, they will build a new. The chaos vote, the far left, they want to destroy everything
Starting point is 01:52:17 because the only way for them to create their new world is to destroy the old one. That's a good point. Firefox says, I've decided to call all police that just follow orders oath breakers. Spin that UFO clockwise, please. I'll do that. You got it. Other direction. Specifically asked. Yeah. I don't do this often, but I guess I don't really
Starting point is 01:52:35 want to make a thing. I'm finding it. I'm resisting it some... I'll do it. Come on. You gotta do it. Well, while he's spinning it, make sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram at TimCast. You can follow at AdamKrigler on Instagram, Twitter as well. Both of us are on Parler, of course.
Starting point is 01:52:51 And then you also have at Sour Patch Lids. Yes, I'm all of those places as well, including Parler. L-Y-D-S for Lids. And please go follow AdamCast IRL. This weekend, I'm going to be doing a deep dive onto Donald Trump, and it's going to be really interesting. Ian Crossland joins me. We did an episode last Saturday basically introducing ourselves, saying
Starting point is 01:53:11 who we are, kind of our path a little bit. We talk about little video games. We're both gamers. But this Saturday is going to be a big episode because we're going to be talking about Trump and doing a deep dive into who he is, what he's doing. Look, fat. What is he doing over there? What the heck? You think you know about Trump? Well, you know the thing about Trump and what we're doing.
Starting point is 01:53:37 So you don't AdamCast IRL. We have a Joe Biden now. We have a Joe Biden now. That's great. I really enjoy it. I think we do need a Trump. We do now we have a joe biden now that's great i i really enjoy it i think we do need a trump we do we need a trump yep let's oh i'm gonna see if we can find it we need a china button and we need a cheat an election oh my gosh we have so much what is what should we just buy a couple of these things no they're made in china let's not let's not do that i'd rather not let's find somewhere else um mac grendel says, Tim, you're doing good work.
Starting point is 01:54:06 I don't mean just quality. I mean good. You're pointing to the deception of the American people. Thank you. Well, I do appreciate it. Yep, that's right. Let's see. Perry Does Mapping says, spin the UFO. I'm going to spin it. Anyways, I've been following you for
Starting point is 01:54:21 three years since high school, and you have helped me shape my political views and whatnot. I used to be a far-left crazy until I stumbled upon you. Ever since then, I've been following you for three years since high school, and you have helped me shape my political views and whatnot. I used to be a far-left crazy until I stumbled upon you. Ever since then, I have been a right centrist. Very cool. You know, I think the center is a pretty savvy spot to be. Yeah, it's where most people are. Both sides don't like it.
Starting point is 01:54:40 You know why? They both say the exact same thing. They say centrists are people who you know can't stand up for what's right and are too scared they go whichever the way whichever the way wind takes them people who stand in the middle of the road tend to get run over they say my goodness centrists are people who understand the left has some good arguments the right has some good arguments right we need to figure out what the best arguments are here here right now the problem is the left is not the other side of the road the left is like on the other side of town different continent i can't even see where
Starting point is 01:55:09 they're at so they're like they went trekking into the forest and they're somewhere deep into the forest i'd be willing to bet the people who think they're center right are probably center left but the overton window is being pushed so far there was a funny thing i did i did this i've mentioned it before. I did the political compass test, and I'm center-left libertarian, like left-leaning libertarian. I did one with Luke Rutkowski of We Are Change, and he's right-leaning libertarian. And then we put these videos, and a lot of people were shocked to find they were actually left-leaning, and they didn't know. Because the Overton window is now basically like,
Starting point is 01:55:42 if you're not Stalin, then you're literally Hitler. Right. So there are people who are like, well, because I'm not a communist, I must be conservative. And it's like, actually, you might not be. There's got to be something in the middle. I'm more conservative than you. I took the test a while back. Are you?
Starting point is 01:55:55 Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. We compared it. I'm a little bit further to the right than you are, which honestly makes sense. I think it's like one quadrant down into the left. Like I'm a little like one degree libertarian left from you. yeah but it's it's obvious we're pretty close a lot i think a lot of people who grew up in cities who do similar things to us have similar views true and those views do not mesh with the current iteration of whatever it is the left is authoritarian weirdo dogmatic
Starting point is 01:56:20 yeah whatever i i do have to say, though, for everybody that has complained about me on Facebook, on my post, there's an equal amount of people that are hitting me up going, I'm with you. So, a little shine and a light. MB says, thanks for introducing me to Tom McDonald. I'm a 36
Starting point is 01:56:39 year old white mom of three, and now feel less weird listening to rap at the gym because of his message. Fighting the power one song at a time. Also, watch you every night white mom of three and now feel less weird listening to rap at the gym because of his message. He's awesome. Fighting the power one song at a time. Also, watch you every night. Spin the UFO, Adam. I will do that.
Starting point is 01:56:52 Everyone's going to add Spin the UFO to every Super Chat night. He's like, oh, yeah. Spin the UFO. Hey, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's part of the show. You were doing the 8-bit, Bob. Oh, I was.
Starting point is 01:57:02 Yeah. So it's true. We do do it. Somebody made an 8-bit graphic of all of us, and we're like bouncing like a video game. Did you see the Atomcast one? Which one? Oh, the skateboard. Same one made the Atomcast for me.
Starting point is 01:57:15 It's pretty cool. That's amazing. Rad, rad. Smash that like button. Smash it. Smash. I want you to smash it. Biden that like button. Oh, I want you to smash it. Biden that like button.
Starting point is 01:57:26 Oh, yeah. Look fat. You got to press the like button, you know. The thing? The button. Because America. Back when Obama and Trump was bad, but Obama and I smashed it. I'm bad.
Starting point is 01:57:43 I'm terrible at Biden. I can't. You just got to say look fat. No. Look fat. I'm terrible at buying. I can't. I can't. You just gotta say look fat. No. I don't like that. That's all good. I know it's what he actually said, but.
Starting point is 01:57:51 Look fat. The thing. Omega Hunter says. I don't like it. Have you thought about extreme victim complexes propped up recently? Historically, genocide starts with this kind of mentality. Yep. Post script.
Starting point is 01:58:01 Tim, my father gives you $25 of this super chat. He's become a fan since I shared this video a few times. Well, thank you very much. Thank you very much. You see, it is very important that you all spread the good word of TimCast IRL. Yes. And let them know that we've added Joe Biden permanently to the cast. Yes, he is part of us
Starting point is 01:58:17 now. Oh, man. He is inseparable from us. We should get a Joe Biden soundboard too. Like, we have Greta. We should get a few key phrases. Yeah, I want a legitimate soundboard. Let's do it. Yeah, man. We got to figure that one out. Hey, if you guys go to...
Starting point is 01:58:31 I'm not going to ask, but I'm trying to figure out how to do a soundboard. Somebody sent us this, which is like you record a sound. They custom made it too. They added How Dare You on the top. Oh, yeah. And then they glued the thing
Starting point is 01:58:44 that lets you record it on the bottom so you can't undo it. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty cool. When you press it. How dare you? It's awesome. It's so beautiful. But what we need is like a full board that actually sinks into our mixer.
Starting point is 01:58:55 Right. And I bought these mixers and they don't do it. Yeah. And so I'm like, man, I am just not the person. We'll have to figure something out. So how dare you? Yeah. How joe joe biden oh man adrian curry says this show is my version of who watches the watchman thanks guys appreciate it cool e finn says three pints for you guys you all keep me informed i teach media literacy and love your show cheers for the end of the
Starting point is 01:59:23 zombie apocalypse well here's hoping man yeah media literacy it's your show. Cheers for the end of the zombie apocalypse. Well, here's hoping, man. Yeah. Media literacy. It's going to end. It will. Zach Miller says, came in late. Did you guys address Ghislaine's trial being put off till 2021? Whoa, really?
Starting point is 01:59:34 You got to vote for Trump. That's why. That's why. Because you know what happens if Biden gets in? That'll never happen. Nothing. Ghislaine Maxwell, tragically, took her own life very sad somebody tweeted when uh epstein got arrested they're like so if he he kills himself we all riot right
Starting point is 01:59:52 and it went viral and then epstein killed himself allegedly and nobody did anything nobody cared because i don't i i i don't get it you know i i why why are the protests how come hundreds of thousands of people didn't march to the streets i don't know if if something if something happens to giz lane i will i will march 100 okay i'm gonna hold you i would do it yeah i'm gonna hold you to that i will if if something happens to giz lane maxwell, COVID, anything, I don't care. Then I say we need to get rid of every single person from politics. All the incumbents are gone. We've got to turn it off and on again.
Starting point is 02:00:34 Every single one. Yep. Yep. Absolutely. Yep. I wish too. So you agree with the crazy left to burn it all down? I didn't say burn it all down.
Starting point is 02:00:43 Well, I mean, that's essentially what they're trying to do. Voting't say burn it all down well i mean that's essentially what they're trying to do the incumbents okay well that's different than marching out there and marching in protest protesting demanding that we i want this i want specifics so yeah specifically the left and the right should come together should march hand in hand demanding all the incumbents are gone yeah so that's what you're gonna do that's what you're gonna specifically march for i'm trying to lock you in as much as I can. I would march specifically for that. Now, the left goes out demanding that Trump be arrested because they blame him for on some stupid conspiracy. I wouldn't march. I'm saying if the left and the right came together saying we don't
Starting point is 02:01:16 we just want, you know, answers, publish the documents, the video. Oh, yeah. Uncumbrance out. Okay. Sure. All right, let's see. Where are we at? Deridus says, politically homeless veteran here. Use this to help split a vegan sandwich. Oh, how nice. Will do.
Starting point is 02:01:36 Cool. Robert Jorgensen says, I think the big cities are in a universe 25 situation. What is that? I don't know. No idea. Tom, thanks for the super chat. And what else we got? Just more calls.
Starting point is 02:01:51 Talbot says, always a good time with y'all. Spin the Warudo. Well, you're going to spin it? I'll count it. It's past 10. It's the magic word, spin. It's past 10.
Starting point is 02:02:04 So what you need to do right now is make sure you subscribe, because if you didn't, you should. Yes. Subscribing seems to be almost meaningless at this point. It's not really a subscribe button anymore. It's more of a, I think this channel is really good, and you should show it to other people. Yeah. It seems like the only thing YouTube really does with any kind of comments, like button, subscription, is tell YouTube to promote the channel. That's a good point.
Starting point is 02:02:26 So the more you guys engage with, you know, smashing the like button and subscribing, the notification bell, the more likely YouTube is to recommend to other people. If you think we're doing a good job breaking down the media and talking about these issues in a fair way, then I think it's really important then, you know, that we can talk to more people. Yep. So yes, I say all the time to speak up. If you're still unwilling to speak up, at least you could be willing to hit the like button and subscribe in an effort to make sure more people can hear what we have to say, right?
Starting point is 02:02:53 At the very least. Please, and we really appreciate it. Definitely. Yeah, for sure. And with that being said, make sure you follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at TimCast. And you can follow me, Adam Krigler, on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube. You can follow me on my new channel, AdamCastIRL, also.
