The U.S. has begun a massive bombing campaign on Iranian Revolutionary Guard targets in Syria and Iraq.
Basically, ladies and gentlemen, the U.S. has just begun a very long protracted war in the Middle East.
Surprise, surprise. Where have we heard this one before?
I'm not surprised it's happening, but the question is, how will it escalate?
I believe that the news we're seeing here is basically, it's a unilateral declaration
of war by Joe Biden.
We are now attacking Iran.
The questions are, why is Iranian Revolutionary Guard operating in Syria and Iraq?
And when did we declare war on Syria?
And why are we there anyway?
I think the Uniparty, the establishment, realized, you know, the problem isn't that we unilaterally declare war and everyone complains about it.
They're complaining about it because we told them we did.
So now they're just, just go do it.
Ignore it and don't talk about it.
But now, of course, there are a bunch of media outlets and a bunch of politicians in various countries once again saying World War III.
They've been saying World War III for like a year now.
So I don't
know, I guess. Are we in it? But basically at the UK saying gear up and get ready. Several other
countries have been mentioned in the past week have been contemplating or advocating for a
military draft. And many news outlets are saying this action by the United States could be that
escalation. Then, of course, we have the prospect of civil war here on the border as a new bill through Congress would authorize the National Guard to use lethal force against illegal immigrants in certain contexts.
Now, the easy context, of course, is if they're facing something life threatening, but it also says and for other reasons should be interesting.
Basically, it looks like they are advancing the position where we may actually see combat on the border
or some kind of force. And the funny thing about that is Ian is the one who's talked about his fear
that it comes to that point. And I'm like, well, you know, that builds in Congress. Maybe it doesn't
make it. Maybe it does. We'll see. And FBI is warning that China will be attacking U.S. domestic
infrastructure. So perhaps there's just a whole lot of World War Three going on. We'll talk about
that. And then actually in some really big and very good cultural news,
Joe Rogan, according to the Wall Street Journal, has secured a $250 million multi-platform deal
with Spotify. The reason this is really, really good news is the deal basically says that Rogan's
show will be everywhere, YouTube, Spotify, anywhere, but Spotify is now going to buy the ad rights to
the show
so that they can basically sell ads against his show.
What does that mean?
Spotify believes Rogan and whatever controversies may arise in the press from his guests is
not going away and is profitable.
They don't think they're going to lose money on this deal and it's good for everybody else
because if Joe Rogan leads the way, Spotify is basically saying we're going to put 250 million
dollars of our money up front because we think we'll make more money on this basically it's it's
paving the way for everybody else who produces content it is much more likely that comedy and
you know offensive kind of uh content will not be taken down moving forward because these platforms
are banking on it we'll talk about all that before we do my friends head over to castbrew.com Appalachian Knights ground is back in stock stock, but we only have 274 and I'm

Joining us tonight to talk about this
and everything else is Charlie Spearing.
Who are you?
Hi, I'm Charlie Spearing.
I'm an author of a new book called
Amateur Hour, Kamala Harris and the White House.
Right on. So you basically, was it, were you face palming every time you had to write something? You're like, wow, I can't believe it.
Yeah, it was really fun to research.
Well, what's the general premise of the book?
General premise of the book is she's struggling, clearly, in the first three years of her vice presidency.
She clearly wasn't ready to run herself.
That's why Biden's running again.
And if Biden runs and wins, we're in the very real possibility of the 47th president becoming
Kamala Harris.
I don't think Joe Biden can win, but I also have no idea what's in store for us this year.
Yeah, me neither. I don't think Joe Biden can win, but I also have no idea what's in store for us this year.
Yeah, I mean, either if if Joe Biden doesn't make it, if he can't make it to Election Day, I think the Democrat Party, that's their worst fear, because that's when everybody with the
money as bad as Biden is losing their mind.
They're like Kamala's worse.
That's kind of funny.
All right, man.
Well, it should be fun.
Thanks for hanging out.
We got Hannah Claire Brimelow as well.
Hey, I'm Hannah Claire Brimelow.
I'm a writer for SCNR.com.
I'm glad that you're here
because I feel like I give Kamala a hard time always.
She's so easy to pick on, but she's not great.
So I'm glad you guys are joining us tonight.
Shane's here.
What's up?
I'm back.
It's good to be back.
Sounds like Charlie wrote a horror novel.
And I'm scared.
You're like reading through it.
Is this fiction?
Yeah, it's terrifying stuff.
But it's great to be back.
Oh, shout to the Discord. I be back, shout out to the Discord
I keep seeing stuff coming out of the Discord
It's amazing what you all are doing out there
And it's good to see you, Serge
Oh yeah, how you seeing the Discord stuff, man?
Serge has been inundating my phone today
With stuff that he gets from Discord
And we were laughing for the last hour
Yeah, that's great, no after show today
But yeah, Discord rules
I like being on there
every once in a while. I am surge.com. Let's get into it, Tim.
Here's the big story today. And of course they did it on a Friday.
U.S. drops 125 bombs and 85 targets linked to Iran's revolutionary guard in devastating
airstrikes on Iraq and Syria. Biden warns retaliation for drone attack that killed
three soldiers will continue after
long-range bombers and drones hit middle east uh unilateral declaration of war or is it just
we are in such a perpetual state of war they don't care they're just going to keep ramping
things up and we're going to spiral out of control and implode or uh or what they're used to being a
wasteland of our bomb shrapnel it doesn't doesn't seem like it could escalate into a regional war, but they telegraphed it to
everyone that we'd be bombing them.
So then everyone that might have been responsible for the drone attack is gone.
And we're taking out what could be the places where the drones were.
But we'll see.
I don't know.
It's just interesting to me because I was on the phone today with a friend who's in
Special Forces for the Navy navy and he was talking about
whatever's going on his life and then he was saying oh yeah i'm supposed to deploy this fall
and i was like oh where do you where do you think you're going he's like oh we're getting back in
the middle east but he says it the whole thing he didn't say something specific right which makes
me think that like everyone is preparing for intense uh escalation wasn't there uh something
about the roman empire bringing in foreigners to fight in wars?
That is part of the story, I believe.
Is it part of the story?
Does anybody know enough about the Roman Empire?
Come on, man.
I thought this was all you think about.
We're supposed to think about it every single day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But seeing this, you know, it's perpetual war.
The fact that Congress does not approve of these things anymore.
We've been at war in the Middle East for decades or longer decades or longer actually and we're in syria iraq and syria i mean iraq i know right and syria
when i mean of course it happened with we never left well with obama we go in but my question is
was when when the iraq war started there's protests everywhere when barack obama decides
to invade syria ain't nobody says anything.
Right.
Nothing.
Donald Trump comes in, tries to get the troops out.
They lie to him to keep the troops in.
Right.
It's crazy they're at this point.
And so now, with the bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria,
we've basically got a unilateral declaration of war on Syria.
We're attacking Iranian linked targets, whatever that means.
It's just there's not going to be any formal declaration of a World War III or expansion of war.
We're just slowly walking our way into further and further escalation.
On top of that, everyone has been sharing this video from December 4th of C-SPAN
of Senator Dick Durbin saying we should make illegal immigrants soldiers. We should bring them in. I mean, this is C-SPAN of Senator Dick Durbin saying we should make illegal immigrants soldiers.
We should bring them in.
I mean, this is C-SPAN right here.
Dick Durbin wants to make it possible for illegal immigrants to join the U.S.
And I've been getting a bunch of people messaging me being like, that's exactly how the Roman
Empire collapsed.
Yeah.
I mean, I remember we were we did IRL today.
He did this in Kingsley Cortez.
It was here and we had the same reaction, which was that you can't have a bunch of people
who don't have a tie to this country come in and fight for you because ultimately their loyalty is to the federal government.
It's not to the culture or the people or the states.
And that is dangerous for the population that potentially could resist the federal government.
It's it's such a ridiculous suggestion, but it's obviously been on the minds of senators in this country for a long time.
Again, to me, that speaks that they are not ultimately loyal to the people that they serve.
They're loyal to power and controlling the masses.
Yeah, it's kind of like the new form of DACA, right?
This is the way we get more migrants into our country.
We let them serve in our military, and then we give them citizenship, say, well done.
Now you can go to college on the GI Bill
and then you'll be sufficiently roped in
and hopefully support Democrats.
So do we see this administration going around
and rounding up the illegals
and giving them guns and sending them away?
And if they refuse, that administration deports them?
Like, how does it look?
I just don't think they get organized fast enough, right?
Like, the reality is that he's going into somewhat of a lame duck period.
I mean,
we've got to November.
We expect a wave of executive actions at the orders at the end of the year.
But like,
I just don't know.
The thing is like one of the reasons that we can't find,
we don't know the true number of how many illegal aliens are here is because
they are unregistered.
So how would the government
you know round up enough of them they'd have to they'd have to put out a call and most immigrant
groups like all of the ngos or non-profits that support illegal aliens in this country they always
say like if police come to your door don't answer and you know resist that so actually there's now
a problem like you can't get them to come out and the propaganda the propaganda is crazy there's this
viral uh meme i guess around in statistics on crime.
And it's like some guy being like, just going to drop this here.
And it says native born Americans.
Crime is really high.
Undocumented immigrants is low.
And then immigrants is super low.
And I'm just like, my guy, the crime rate for illegal immigrants is at least one to one like quite literally you can't it's impossible to claim native-born
citizens commit more crime as opposed to quote-unquote undocumented immigrants because
they started off by committing a crime yeah which means literally every single one of them
has committed a crime not every single native-born citizen has committed a crime right they're at a
hundred percent right off the bat that crime doesn't matter though that that's not a real crime that's
just a civil disobedience right but but it is and they exclude it when it's literally a crime
to to illegally enter the country illegally it's a crime we exclude all kinds of crime
it as long as you take down the right statues or as long as you take out you know storm the
right office or desecrate the right government building.
If you're doing the thing we want you to be doing, then we're okay with it.
I love the meme that someone made recently where it's the guy on January 6th with his feet on the table.
And it's not even a funny meme.
It's just like six years in prison.
And then it's the photo of the guy having gay sex in the Senate building.
And it's like no charges, no evidence.
It's crazy.
And they expect everyone to just go along with it.'s like no charges no evidence it's crazy and they
expect everyone to just go along with it like that's they said there's no evidence of a crime
like there's no evidence of a crime the only reason we know it happened is because there's a
video that went viral like what are you what if they actually did bring charges against the people
involved and it actually went to court in washington dc would they be convicted because
you know how cops work.
They only charge when they feel like
they can get a conviction, right?
I'm so old for this, man.
There's a video out of Boston
of a bunch of cops standing outside
of the community center in the black neighborhood
where they were housing all the criminal aliens.
And there's a black dude screaming,
like, I can barely afford to live.
I work 40 hours a week,
and I can't even go to my community center anymore.
And the cops are like GTFO.
And I just it's just I love it, man.
I tweet F these these cops, scumbags.
And I get these conservative blue line people being like, Tim, it's not the police officer's fault.
It's not their fault.
I'm like, it's dude, it's nobody's fault but the person who committed the crime.
OK, like some some guy you've never heard of in an office somewhere you've never been to is the real criminal.
What are you talking about?
I'm watching a guy work with criminal aliens right here.
Like, just how wild would it be if somebody is in the middle of beating a child and you're like, well, hold on.
Hold on.
Who told them to do it?
I'm like, I don't care, dude.
Stop the person.
These cops are committing crimes.
No, but they were told it's not legal dude and that's where we're currently at where i just see
everything man i think we got cultural victories and all that stuff but man it does feel like
things are falling apart because you got every man for himself mentality it's like watching the
cops not do anything for the riots like right in the city just standing by meanwhile when they were
told to go arrest people trying to have a prayer service in a park in the city you know they would do that or yeah arresting people wearing
the mask or not wearing it's less likely that people praying are going to resist i mean they're
expecting the certain people to comply and i i find that that's sort of an insight i mean we
talked about it a couple days ago on the show but older generations are more likely to trust media
they're more likely to trust the federal government and so in some respects like the the thing that makes them vulnerable to being arrested by police
is the fact that they want to comply with the system they want to be supportive whereas the
police are like well that seems so crazy over there i'm not sure what we can do so we just
won't like that seems like an insult to people who are ultimately trying to live by the rules
of law and order yeah so the authorities just go after the people who are ultimately trying to live by the rules of law and order. Yeah. So the authorities just go after the people who are easy targets.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Because they're afraid of the riots and they're afraid of the public image.
Can we just like, I know-
Well, probably the bureaucracy within the department, that's usually what kills any
sort of impetus to do something virtuous is I will lose my job and my wife and kids are
going to suffer and I'm going to lose my pension.
And so I'm not gonna do that
you should quit then you know part part of me is glad we haven't seen a lot of that have we
like you lose your cops being like i'm done and i think yeah no we have victims in these pensions
we've seen a lot of it actually in new york massive uh all over the place uh i think you
know at one point a few years ago during the defund the police movement we were looking at more than half of like departments had seen you know resignations
resignations sick outs yeah a lot of cops were just like i won't do this anymore there's even
a viral video where a cop in seattle is like stopping at a light and all the activists are
screaming and laughing at him and he's and he yells you won you won you win i'm out i quit
yeah and then everyone they're all laughing. They're like, we got them.
I'm just like, what I was gonna say is I'm glad the police are refusing to charge the guys
who had the gay sex in the Senate building
because I just want everybody listening
to bring that conversation up
to your liberal friends and family members.
Just bring it right up.
And when, and just like, I'm sorry,
like when they're like, well, you know, I'll be like, dude, come on.
There's a video, a viral video, literally of a Democrat Senator staff member getting banged in the Senate building.
And they won't criminally charge him.
You want to come to me?
You want to come to me and tell me that the machine's not biased.
Come on.
Have we seen any people defend that?
Like I haven't even heard from him.
He put out a statement being like, I'm being persecuted because of who I love.
Right.
And so immediately they superimposed me, man.
That's why we can't let it go.
Yeah.
That's why, because if you notice all of the prominent leftists will not bring it up.
So everybody should just keep talking about it.
And it took like 36
hours for it to puncture through mainstream i think fox was one of the first people reporting
it but again it wasn't that much i mean the story is crazy typically what they say is sex sells and
in case in this case it's like no that's the wrong kind yeah not this one we don't like this
we did the culture war episode maybe the day or two after that happened and we on the show looked
it up in the news and there were no reports on it at all.
Cause it broke on a Friday.
I'm pretty sure.
And like by Saturday was when I was starting to get news alerts about it.
But like, of course I had our, like, it is one of those things that reminds you that
Twitter is a very different space than the rest of nature.
Yeah.
Was it the Daily Caller?
Daily Caller did.
Yeah.
Yeah. They've been getting a lot of stuff. Yeah it the Daily Caller? The Daily Caller did, yeah. Props to them.
Let's jump to this story.
We got this from the Daily Mail.
National Guard would be able to
use force against armed migrants
entering the U.S. under a new bill from Navy SEAL
veteran Republican congressman.
They're going to mention that House Republicans are pushing a bill
that would authorize the National Guard to use lethal force
against individuals with weapons crossing from Mexico into the United States.
They do.
They do keep saying that.
But they also mentioned the bill actually says and for other other other issues or whatever.
They say in the last year, there have been multiple instances of migrants crossing into the U.S. carrying weapons with some brand brandishing rifles like an ar-15 as the biden administration and texas governor greg abbott clash over border security policies the bill latrell claims will enable the national
guard to better protect the u.s by using any means necessary to stop armed migrants look at
they got photos of these dudes that's kind of that's kind of wild i just can't believe that
we have to pass this law what are we even doing this whole time it's legit an invasion yeah i know
why are we not just, the headlines should just say
invasion at the border. Well, of course they won't.
Who wrote this? Can we?
Here you go. They call
them the people smuggler. Oh, that sounds
like a super villain name. The people smuggler
was filmed by Texas Department of Safety drone
on Wednesday near Eagle Pass. This is
Wednesday. Take this photo,
post it on Twitter and say
invasion. Okay, spare me.
These dudes are coming with rifles and our our guys aren't even allowed to defend this
country from armed people.
Wow.
Again, why does this have to be a law?
I just don't get this.
I mean, I'm glad it is if no one has thought that this is something that's necessary.
Why do we have a border if we're not trying to stop people who are entering armed who are trying to enter illegally while armed like again what are
we doing here team well and what are we doing say why are these governors setting the national guard
down there if they are aren't i didn't know they're not allowed to use their weapons against
put out their arms and be like go back hey you Hey, you. Hold hands and sing a song.
I'm so glad that Ron DeSantis and all these governors
are sending more and more National Guard troops
because all they can do is just build fences
and say, please, go.
They're going to link arms and just be like,
you cannot cross.
You shall not pass.
They're not allowed to retaliate.
Having been to the border in Yuma
and seeing how they treat people coming across the border
with luggage tags and van rides and plane tickets and stuff.
I wouldn't be surprised if they come with a gun and be like, do you need more ammo?
Like where you-
Is everything okay?
Do you need a case for that rifle?
Yeah.
It's totally crazy.
Hey, where'd you get that?
Did that come from here?
Or did you-
It is interesting to me.
So there's this belt.
And then there was another one that the house passed yesterday saying, I have to remember,
I should give this guy credit i can't remember his
name uh basically it's um barry moore from alabama i think he proposed this bill that if you if
there's an illegal immigrant who's in the country and gets convicted of or admits to driving while
intoxicated oh right why then that's ground that makes them inadmissible so they couldn't get like
a green card they couldn't get like a green card they
couldn't get any status and also it's grounds for deportation which when i read it it was sort of
like yes of course because you're here illegally in the first place already committing a crime and
then you commit another crime seems like you should definitely go but the fact that we have
to spell this out politics is like let's just pick one crime that everybody can sort of gather around like it seems
it also seems reasonable like someone who commits a crime while in the process of committing another
crime being here illegally right probably i don't want them to be a citizen probably they are not
here with good intentions yes like it seems basic and obvious but at the same time 150 democrats in
the house voted against it right like it is weird that we have to say this is a bad idea and in fact there were
congressmen from every border state you know california new mexico arizona who are democrats
who voted for this so it makes me wonder like are you seeing this in your community where there are
people who are here illegally and are proceeding to you know potentially be hazards to you know
the illegal population but also the legal residents in your communities.
It's very weird.
I feel like at a certain point, they just can't deny it.
And their constituents are like, our homes are ruined.
This place is ruined.
People are leaving.
The economy in this town or city is dying.
Like we see with Eric Adams when he spoke out.
But then once he spoke out, they tried to Me Too him.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That kind of disappeared for a while, didn't it? He was getting raided by the feds, wasn't he, they tried to meet to him like a year or two later. Oh yeah. That kind of disappeared for a while.
He was getting raided by the feds, wasn't he?
Yeah, he was.
Jeez, man.
We're at the, like, this is the 11th hour, dude.
We got like, can we pull up his picture again?
My friends.
That's not the only one.
He's hanging out in the trees over here.
Bro, this is an invasion.
It's like, this guy's got a gun and apparently it's an issue.
They're like, maybe we should give
the National Guard
the ability to like
I don't know
fight back
when they're being
shot at or something
well Tim
he's a poor asylum seeker
he's just trying to
you know
come for opportunity
hands up
don't shoot
it's xenophobic
to question
armed asylum seekers
I'm actually totally down
for saying asylum seekers
they're ready to go to war
Tim
just like you've been saying
he's like
Dick Durbin
I'm coming
I'm ready to fight
I'm here to sign I'm here to sign up
and fight for Uncle Sam. They're like, this guy's
got experience. No, the left likes to call
them all asylum seekers, even when they're
criminal aliens or smugglers or whatever.
And so then you get the right saying illegal
immigrant. And I'm telling people
criminal alien is the legal term for this.
I'm going back to asylum seeker
because I'm going to say armed asylum seekers.
Mostly peaceful. Mostly peaceful. But armed. Possibly peaceful. I'm going back to asylum seeker because I'm gonna say armed asylum seekers yeah mostly peaceful
mostly peaceful yeah but you know possibly peaceful look he loves the second amendment
of course he's an American this is hopefully peaceful it's just wild and this is I mean I
wish I had listened to a current champion white house briefing today I'm sure if she saw this was
asked about it she'd be like everything at the border is fine. Don't question this at all. Like, at what point?
This is for the hardcore progressive Democrats. I don't know that anything on this level will
convince them. But people who are sort of nonpolitical, moderate, maybe lean a little
socially left. When you see these pictures, at what point are you just like, yes, this is
incorrect? No, no, no. If you take a closer look and you zoom in, you can actually see there's something on the back, right?
He's holding a small anvil.
Of course.
He's trying to set up a smithing shop.
Right.
Stop assuming these are criminals.
I don't know.
It almost looks like a bump stock to me.
The thing is, Wile E. Coyote used anvils all the time for bad things.
And so I just, that counts as a weapon to me too.
And to be clear to your point,
it's like those very same people you're talking about
looking at this and thinking that they might
come to terms with it, the reality of it,
they're the ones who looked at the riots
and thought they were just.
See, I think that shifted.
I think there are,
I think there's been sort of a bleeding effect away
because some of these things are so concrete.
And that's why I think a lot of progressive outlets,
a lot of progressive outlets a lot of progressive
activists harp on january 6th so much because it's a way to sort of quell the fear like you
can't question anything that's going on because ultimately look at this very bad thing theoretically
that happened this one time whereas this is an active invasion that's going on constantly and
in fact has been going on for three years i mean it's what the the official number is something
like we think six
million illegal criminal aliens are here but when ronda santos was doing his uh press conference
when he was saying i'm gonna send people to the border he was like what's the number like 10
million no one knows how many of these people are here there's no way of knowing did you see
theo vaughn's tweet i think it was last weekend he tweeted let's
what was it
like let's close
get a head count
on who's in this MF
I'm not doing it justice
he had another recent one too
I forget what he said
he's had a bunch of good ones
he's so funny
until we can figure out
what's going on
yeah
Charlie
as the resident
Kamala expert
what's her take
on the border
as our borders are
true
wasn't she supposed to be
in charge of the border go back to i think it was in june 21 when she went to guatemala and she held that press
conference and she got real stern and said yeah do not come do not come remember angered aoc and
a lot of other progressives well i guess they're not listening to kamala but why would they not
listen to kamala i've heard that she's very influential.
She's historic.
I don't know why they didn't get the memo.
Why did they make her border czar?
Does your book know?
Yeah, this was kind of Biden's first attempt to be like,
all right, Kamala, you're my buddy, Vice President.
You're going to take one for the team.
Here's what we do.
I'm putting you in.
So I always wondered if that was him sort of being like, I'm'm gonna give you a bad job because i don't really like you i don't
want you to be more like successful than i am and he knew exactly what he was doing because obama did
the same thing to him charlie i gotta stop you there though when has anyone ever said that body
knows exactly what he's doing sorry maybe in the first few months of his first term as what vice
president as president well at least his team knew right because he's had the same team for decades In the first few months of his first term. Okay, okay. As what, vice president? As president.
Well, at least his team knew, right?
Because he's had the same team for decades.
We've heard stories.
We got them from Obama, I heard.
No, they're his guys.
Really?
Team Biden is very strong and very powerful.
And they are not beholden to anybody else but their own interests.
They aren't even beholden to the Biden family at this point.
It's just them.
So why did they want, if he was immediately going to stick her with a terrible job, their own interests. Like they aren't even beholden to the Biden family at this point. It's just them.
So why did they want,
if he was immediately going to stick her with a terrible job trying to reign in the border,
not really though,
if you're a Democrat,
why did he select her as VP?
Like if there's always been a little bit of tension there,
was it just that she would bring him the demographic that he wanted?
As I outlined in the book,
it was a very political decision.
He actually preferred Gretchen Whitmer because, you know, she's Midwestern, swing state.
She campaigned on the idea of fixing the damn roads.
The feds love her.
He liked that.
He liked her style of politics and thought she was a real winner.
She actually tried to drop out of the running because, you know, the whole process was sort of overrun by the George Floyd riots.
And it's like got very volatile and that's
when everyone sort of started dropping out you had Amy Klobuchar just be like oh I gotta go former
prosecutor right in Minnesota so I was like I'm not I'm not I'm not doing this so you saw more
and more candidates drop out and so he ended up but he had to pick up you know he had vowed to
pick a woman vice president and then ultimately it was
clear by you know senior advisors that he had to pick a woman of color during this time of you
know racial tension and he was not doing so good on racial issues he was going around saying you
know poor kids are just as just as smart as white kids and you're not out there you're not black if
you vote for trump and so yeah he really had
to show that part of his base that he was serious about hearing them and getting a woman of color
on the ticket you know you know what i was thinking it's like it's really funny how the
left says these christians are all super hateful and all that and i'm thinking this because i'm
like you know i blame for all of the stuff happening right now like where we are in my
generation i blame christian conservatives and it's because they're too good of people and they you know, I blame for all of the stuff happening right now, like where we are in my generation.
I blame Christian conservatives.
And it's because they're too good of people
and they were very tolerant and accepting
to so many really bad people
that they kept acting in good faith
and allowed these far leftists and communists
to infiltrate institutions.
So I mean that somewhat, I'm half joking.
But 30, 40 years ago, like or 50 60 years ago when you
have a very christian conservative nation evil steps in lies and being good people they're like
well you know i think we should give these people a fair chance and now you've got communists running
over everything and even to this day the republican party is still impotent and won't address these
things i mean don Donald Trump gets sued,
criminally charged, abused mercilessly in these jurisdictions. Not a single Republican
jurisdiction is countering. I mean, maybe there's one or two small ones here there, but
where's West Virginia or Texas? Ken Paxton should file criminal charges against Joe Biden
for facilitating human smuggling. Why not? I mean, the charges against Trump are ludicrous. He did
not lead an insurrection. OK, Ken Paxton filed charges against Joe Biden right now for leading
an insurrection at our southern border. Use that photo and let them argue he's immune.
Whatever. He will have to answer to the Texas legal system. But you know what?
As much as Texas is the stand standing your ground and all that stuff,
I know the judges, they're going to go, oh, geez.
Oh, well, you know, we can't do that.
I'm like, dude, are you watching what they're doing in New York?
But we are better men.
OK, well, then Trump goes to prison.
Have a nice day.
Yeah, it does seem like they need to become more of an offense right now.
It does feel like a lot of states are just on defense or kind of waiting to respond to
what more progressive activists are doing.
But I don't I'm not enough of a legal
expert to know what what steps should be taken i think it would just be good for conservative
voters to see action taken so i tweeted that uh eugene carroll was a deranged i'll just say person
it was a bit more it was a bit more uh aggressive than that and i got all these leftists this one went viral and
it was like hey i'm tim pool i'm going to defame a woman who just won a massive defamation lawsuit
and i'm just like for one i did not defame her i insulted her there's a difference
two this is not how the law works you people are morons however fair point people like this are in law in new york and
they're like we'll do it anyway and so when the question comes up as to what are the legal
requirements for ken paxton in texas to actually bring about some kind of charges or to to uh i
don't know if he would be the actual guy to bring the charges or how he could pursue this it doesn't
even matter you look at what's going on in new y York and it's all fake and we all know it.
Come on.
Single Republican in any jurisdiction.
Do I have to run for office?
I swear.
I swear.
I might have to.
You guys make Tim run for office.
He'll be real mad.
I'm going to be really mad.
But I'll run for some office where I'm like, I don't care what it is.
I will take a sheriff's office and I will immediately be like, I am going to go and
start arresting people who are breaking the law.
Like, that's it
like in west virginia they should have a criminal investigation right now into the customs and
border protection facility it's a massive facility on 340 in west virginia there should be state
state law enforcement raiding that building with a warrant from a judge because we want to know
what's going on with their internal communications as per the human smuggling they're involved in
ain't nobody got the balls to actually do anything though yeah do you think sorry do you think it's what's going on with their internal communications as per the human smuggling they're involved in.
Ain't nobody got the balls to actually do anything though. Do you think it's because they're spineless or they're like stalled by their fear of these institutions?
See, I was wondering if it's similar to the fear.
Like if you are, when the federal government investigates itself, it's always like we've done nothing wrong.
Everything's good, right?
So like with the DOD probe into Lloyd Austin's hospitalization and like the fact that he
didn't tell anybody and no one knew, like when he did his press conference, he said,
you know, there is an internal investigation.
Congress has done some stuff.
But ultimately, if you're investigating yourself, you're going to say it's OK.
So with like the Custom and Border Patrol, it would be, I assume, West Virginia that
needs to come in and say, we're investigating what's going on here but i've heard so often from law enforcement oh well you know fed trump state
the feds are allowed to do whatever and i want to know is that actually true or is this just the
attitude that has become that you think that the federal government because texas is proving that
wrong right now texas said our right to self-defense is the supreme law of the land let me pull up this
story here from uh the post-millennial big fans new york city to pay out 53 million dollars on prepaid debit cards to illegal immigrants in
pilot program oh uh so when eric adams comes out and says this will destroy us he gets accused of
crimes and he gets raided the next thing you know he's like i am going to give 53 million dollars
to illegal immigrants i am totally for this it's coming it's coming out of my bank account too he's like blinking out in morris
code like i want to rescue me no it's bad i think it'd be funnier if they spent 53 million dollars
to just ship them to eagle pass at which point they're escorted back across the border i i
genuinely think the democrat strategy is we have to destroy this country to the greatest degree
imaginable before trump wins because the only response we have or i this country to the greatest degree imaginable before Trump wins, because the only response we have, or I should say not the only, but the functional response,
the best course of action is Trump wins. So I think, you know, there's a, I just love all of
the articles that are popping up about Taylor Swift. I'm not going to get into the whole thing
about Taylor Swift. My point is this, have any of the people who've pushed that story stopped to ask themselves why it is the corporate
press is running full speed ahead, pumping out dozens of stories about the right attacking
Taylor Swift? They want you to. They want you to do this. Okay, don't. Why is it? We look at this.
I think their attitude is like they're desperately praying some right wing or MAGA guy acts a fool.
They want they want some right wing guy to act out of line so they can use that.
And so they're going to press and turn the heat up in the pressure cooker as much as possible.
Fifty three million dollars of your money going to illegal immigrants the border crisis
like the cbp cutting border barrier razor wire like why are they doing this obviously they want
to destroy the country but i think they're trying to force or actually create the circumstances
where they can at least claim the right engage in some kind of violence i think we're we're seeing
this like sustained absurdity
and it's and they're becoming very desperate and uh this is about to be dark so if you have little
ones listening uh it's dark but this is how i've been thinking about the government lately in terms
of their desperation i think of ted bundy and how ted bundy operated secretly for years you know
doing horrible things and his last act of desperation when they were on to him went
on a horrible murder spree you know and it seems like with this kind of sustained absurdity and
and violence and the war on every front possible it seems like you know i think of the government
like ted bundy in that last desperate act it may be like for him he said oh no they're gonna catch
me i better get as much as i can in for the democrats and the uniparty i think they're thinking we like trump
is going to reverse whatever it is we do let's so so imagine this way let's say there's a scale of
uh zero to 100 and they're like if we're at 50 trump is going to pull him pull us back to 20
we need to push things to 100 so trump can only go back to 70 so it's, they know that Trump's going to deport a million migrants.
That's how the left works, destroy everything.
Trump's going to deport a million migrants.
Let's bring in 10 million
so we can only deport one out of the nine we got in.
It's a big ask in terms of policies.
And it has two effects.
Number one, they can run screaming
with all these headlines being like,
how could he do this?
He's deporting poor asylum seekers and et cetera, et cetera.
And also they can then say and he didn't
even do that good of a job there are so many more people here he didn't come through with his
promises like they're trying to set him up to fail on two fronts which is crazy it's the inverse of
what biden did with the economy coming back after trump locking it down so they keep claiming all
these jobs came back but they came back because we took them away right and then they spin as a
positive for biden so it'll be the inverse of that for trump when they make it
they wreck this country so much and it's like almost impossible to bring it back to the way
it was you know i think we're missing the bigger point is like joe they're now trying to set up joe
biden as a wartime president you know single-handedly pressing the buttons of hundreds
of missiles into the middle east meanwhile he's back in bed in Delaware,
I think, right now, right?
They released a three-paragraph statement.
Typically, the president's supposed to get up there
and give a speech to explain to the American people.
Now it's just on autopilot.
I don't think they're trying to make him
a wartime president because, like you said,
he should be up there standing giving speeches,
and he's not.
I think it's part of the big,
we'll call it the big act, not the big ask, where they're saying, if Trump gets elected, he's pulling our troops out of all these places.
Let's scattershot the Middle East, forcing military action on the United States that Trump could never even pull back from.
So bring in 10x illegal immigrants so Trump can only deport half of them.
Go to war as much as possible in the Middle East so that Trump will struggle to get our troops out.
They're just trying to create the biggest mess for Trump to clean up so it looks like he's not succeeding.
No, no.
They're trying to get eight years of the presidency in four years.
It's crazy. So that when Trump goes in, and actually I say 12 years because Trump's going to reverse four years of their actions.
They want eight.
They want 2020 to 2028 everything they
want illegal immigration war conflict crisis if trump is minus four years they need to do 12
12 years of this policy happening in four years and that makes sense if you think about it 10
million illegal immigrants in in in in the span of a couple years right if they had if they had the
uh if they had the white house
up until 2028 they can be like well we can sustain it slowly but they genuinely think trump's going
to win most people think trump's going to win so they're like we have to triple our efforts so that
trump can only pull back a little bit but that allows them to accomplish their goals from now
until 2028 yep i've been calling them uh these things in the store in the in the media like
invisible landmines
where there's something that you know that all the migrants are criminals fugitives the invasion is
happening and then they're filling the country trump takes over then they turn him into the bad
guy by saying look he's doing all these crazy things he's deporting everyone he's the monster
we always told you he was they're going to show pictures of him like people are being loaded into trucks and buses and they're going to say we said never again but it's happening
now yeah think of all the new yorker covers they're going to paint him you know looking like
like hitler and whatnot but well maybe he should be more strategic maybe just uh start by deporting
the child molesters and the drunk drivers but that's not going to matter for the cop assaulters
right you know it's not going to matter for the photographs it's not going to matter for the photographs and the propaganda so the smart play is that he has to deport them
in a way that makes it difficult
for them to run that narrative
and I actually think that hopefully
conservative media gets out with him
because I think that's part of it
they can't back down and use the terms
they have to be honest about the fact that these people were always here
illegally and they're not supposed to be here
I think the answer I brought this up the other day is uh donald trump
gets in immediately goes i agree with dick durbin we're gonna bring them into the military
good men and women in uniform and then you take all the illegal immigrants so you you you with
handshakes and a salute we're like you, you're coming to basic training. And then through all this, you know,
they'll post a photo on a magazine being like,
Trump is enlisting illegal immigrants, I guess.
It's like, well, it's a Democrat idea.
And they may try to spin it,
but then what you do is you-
This is some free DHS.
Hold on, hold on.
You deploy them, wink.
Oh, ah. All right, so what country are you from, sir? I'm from Honduras. Hold on, hold on. You deploy them. Wink. Oh.
All right.
So what country are you from, sir?
I'm from Honduras.
Congratulations.
You're being deployed to Honduras.
You don't need a gun or a helmet.
Here's that one more ticket. It's like a more expensive route to do this, but, you know.
We're going to send you to the other side of the border to guard the border.
We'll take the money.
That's a good idea.
You guys stay over there.
Don't let anybody in. Wait, That's a good idea. You guys stay over there. Don't let anybody in.
Wait, that's a good idea, actually.
You're all being deployed
to line the border.
Don't let anybody in.
Who needs a wall?
We have a human wall.
If anybody gets in,
none of you get citizenship.
Yeah.
If you can hold it for a year,
but then the best part...
Ten years.
But the best part is
we can promise them anything
and like the U.S. government
already treats its veterans,
they just abandon them.
Yeah. Right. We give you nothing. There you go already treats its veterans, they just abandoned them. Yeah.
Right.
We give you nothing.
There you go.
It's like I served for four years.
It's like, do you notice the line of all the other veterans that we've ignored?
Man, you should have read the fine print.
I think that's true.
Maybe this is the way to solve this issue.
I was skeptical at first because it seemed like we'd just be using taxpayer money to
do something crazy.
But well, it is.
That's the only way to secure the border.
But then when the media is like,
Trump is loading up all these people
on the buses and trains,
and then he's like, but yeah,
because they chose to join the military
because they're good people.
Why would you insult them like that?
Oh, geez.
And of course, the training camp
is a new training camp we set up
in Southern Mexico.
This is getting very Roman Empire of you, Tim.
I mean, that's what you could do like basic training for all uh non-citizens who want to enlist we uh well that that training camp is
not in the united states it's uh you know in guatemala right we exported our training facilities
to mexico it's cheaper there just like our manufacturing job we're saving money for
everybody yeah yeah and then we just you know your your your job is to guard the training camp and they all just stay there problem solved
interesting but yeah you'll need creative solutions otherwise they're going to run this
narrative donald trump is hitler i mean i gotta be honest like they've already run that narrative
ad nauseum yeah they'll add photos to the mix i wonder if at that point everyone's going to be like i just i just don't care anymore you know like apathy central well no look i mean this might
be the best thing in the world for trump trump finally gets in actually is loading people on
buses and trains and sending them off to be deported and the media screams he's hitler
and at that point you're like i get it the sky is falling and there's wolves i don't care i'm
so over it well i think the thing is if they run the pictures of Trump loading people up on buses because, you know, why would he deport
people who are illegally? Apparently that's the wrong thing to do. I think hopefully conservative
media gets behind him and it runs the photos of every person who has been killed by someone who
was here illegally. I mean, there are already resources that do this. Borderhawk does this.
Dan Lyman. There are people who suffer because of illegal immigration, not just the economic
effects, but like the crime.
If you showed all the footage of the, you saw this,
the trash and like the underwear that's at the border, right?
There's horrible things.
There's evidence that something is wrong
and we just don't show those pictures enough.
It's that like Republicans in Congress,
the media that supports Trump or the influencers,
let's say the spokes, the talking heads that do it need to be just as on the offense.
I think I figured it out.
I know what we need.
You guys remember that article where it said it was like Trump ends up supporting lockdown so that everyone opposes or something like that.
What we need is 5D chess where Trump gets elected but keeps doing everything the Democrats want to be
done. And so they have no
choice but to oppose all
of it.
Prepaid debit cards.
That's the first action
of business. Donald Trump gets in and he's like
we're going to open the border, let everybody in. And the Democrats
are immediately like, we got a bill through Congress
and no more border. And he's like,
I guess I have to sign it.
And then he signs it.
And then he's like,
we're going to send all our troops to Iran.
I'm like, no, no, we oppose it.
You can't do that.
Yeah, Trump's a fascist.
Like, oh, geez, I guess I got it.
Okay, no troops to Iran.
That really might be the only way to do it
because the Republicans,
even when he had Congress and Senate
in that first two years,
not much was done.
And the Democrats do mobilize.
You got to trick them.
Do you feel like
the there's been a changing of the guards in that in the house and in the senate with the republicans
that are there i feel like after the last year we've really seen a sort of uh clashing of old
and new i would say it just seems like it's fractured like it hasn't coalesced or anything
just like you know right-wing twitter at times you know there's no well certainly in the
senate you have mitch mcconnell and he doesn't i don't imagine he'll be sticking around if trump
wins again he's alive as i think that's when he bows out and then it's up to who john thune
john barasso who else is in leadership i i think we're just it's unfortunate, but conservatives are too demure across the board.
Like the left will line up as enemies to whoever is declared the enemy.
You like some leftist activists can come out and say, I think X is a bad group of people.
And they all just immediately fall in line.
You literally have police officers guarding criminal aliens occupying a building and
i got tons of thin blue line or like back to blue guys being like no i defend the cops and i'm like
you know the cops are the ones who are burning your neighborhoods down and you're smiling
and saying it's it's not their fault okay dude i i i don't know like culturally i see a bunch
of victories bud light sponsoring shane gillis is hilarious and i do think we're winning but you know it is a challenge and perhaps we could mitigate some of the damage
if we had more balls and more willingness to call out bad people so jan 6 wasn't the right play is
that what you're thinking yeah definitely not i think the right play is like every single
conservative should be completely aligned with if police officers are facilitating
human smuggling they are they are opposed to those police officers but there's so many people
on the right who are like no i don't blame the guys who are committing the crime it's the person
who told them to do it and i'm just like i both of them i don't care but like if we went if these
cops in boston knew that if they were filmed this, they would never eat another hot dog again.
They would never be able to get a hotel room.
No one would make them a cheeseburger.
They wouldn't do it.
And so what the left does is funny.
When these cops are in New York and the left is trying to protest, the left will film them and be like, yeah, we're going to film you.
The cops are like, I don't care.
You're fringe nobodies. You are my community i don't care if the conservative back the blue people did it they'd start sweating bullets because these are the
people who actually live in your neighborhoods and you're gonna walk in and be like aren't you
that guy that i saw helping criminal aliens take over some town you think you can eat food in my
restaurant oh out of here dude yeah conservatives
are like i don't blame you it's not your fault yeah there will always be that big that deep
respect for law and order and it's kind of baked in conservative but like but right but understand
what you're saying you're saying that conservatives are not actually respecting law and order they are
defending criminals because the criminal has a badge and i want to make sure this is clear i'm
talking about a cop who's like walking down the street and he's like break up the fight guys i'm talking about
cops who were ordered to facilitate human smuggling and they're like you got it boss
and they went there and they're like i'm gonna guard a bunch of criminal aliens who have taken
this community center from these people because my boss told me to do it i'm like well you're a
criminal you have broken the law you should be arrested i have no respect for you i think a lot
of them are afraid to sound like you know rioters during BLM and they're overcompensating for how that looked,
you know, when that whole thing played out.
But then I would remind people,
look at the cops who went in and rip people out of stadiums that weren't
wearing a mask.
You know, there was a sheriff,
a woman was in Minnesota and she tried opening her cafe during lockdown.
And so they put out a warrant for arrest or whatever.
So she fled to Iowa and the sheriffs hunted her down.
They were like, we're going to make sure this old lady suffers.
Man, there were so many instances where cops were just brutalizing regular, like my favorite
is the New Jersey cops.
A woman was live streaming.
She had a store and she was live.
So she would sell things.
You could come in and buy stuff.
It was like a resale shop.
When they shut everybody down, they're all closed.
So what does she do?
She started live streaming on Facebook saying, here are the things that I have.
Let me film them for you.
And you can order them on the site and I'll ship them to you.
Cops went to her store and said, ma'am, you need to close your store.
And she goes, what are you talking about?
I am closed.
They're like, no, stop filming and stop trying to sell things.
Proving it was never about the pandemic.
These were just dictators.
And it's remarkable that people were like, well, I back the blue.
Well, the other weird thing that came out in the beginning of the pandemic was that domestic violence rates.
I cannot talk right now.
Domestic violence rates jumped significantly.
And so there are people that would have maybe needed law enforcement's help that probably didn't get it.
But then there were businesses that were just trying to find a way to make money, potentially keep their employees on.
And they got the brunt of law enforcement.
It's their livelihood, right?
So the store owners, when your livelihood is threatened, that's when you're ready to just civil disobedience.
That's when the conservatives are like, like hey don't threaten my livelihood you know maybe that's
what it takes for the conservatives to turn on law enforcement but we didn't say there are other
things that are going on like because we locked everyone in their homes there are other social
uh uh issues that are coming up and we should maybe use law enforcement to help with those things.
Instead, it was like,
how do we make everyone hurt economically?
And then we had a lot of people
just have to quit or were fired
for not getting the shot.
And so who was left?
I want to turn things around.
We'll get a little too dark.
Too black, Billy.
Let's go white, Bill.
Check this out.
Wall Street Journal, big news,
ladies and gentlemen.
Joe Rogan gets new Spotify deal worth up to $250 million.
Hit show to be distributed broadly, including on YouTube, rather than exclusively on audio
streaming service.
All right.
Where are we at?
This deal is an upfront minimum guarantee.
What does that mean?
It means Spotify told Joe Rogan, here's what we're going to do, boss.
We're going to take your show.
We're going to put it on all platforms, every single platform imaginable.
We're going to pay you $250 million upfront guarantee, but we get to sell ads on all your content on every platform, and you got to pay us back that $250 million.
After that, we do a rev share.
So his original deal was he had an exclusive deal.
This is my understanding from Wall Street Journal. He had an exclusive deal where they said, we're going to pay you what was like $200 million so that your show is only on Spotify.
Many people were speculating.
I was talking to people in the media industry and they were like, you think Joe's going to re-up this deal?
And now we got the news.
He's coming back to YouTube.
He's coming back to all platforms with Spotify in control of how the ads are placed and generated because uh spotify i
believe i believe spotify owns megaphone so i want to google that real quick and i'm pretty sure they
do and that is basically youtube's ad network how you can auto place ads this is what uh megaphone
does so if you're gonna like put a podcast upload a podcast you put it there then you can place ads
just like on youtube so spotify is basically going broad and they're saying like we want
your content everywhere the reason this is good demonetization is no longer a factor joe rogan
in the news all the time hosts a lot of politically spicy things and edgy things
spotify with this bet it's not so much that they're predicting something, but they're
setting something.
Spotify is a juggernaut.
If they say Joe Rogan is working with us and we're going to sell ads on his content,
demonetization is out the window.
YouTube is not going to demonetize Joe Rogan's show when he has Alex Jones on because Spotify
is going to be like, that's my money.
And Google, my understanding is a shareholder to some is a, is a shareholder to some degree,
or there's some connection there between the two. I think Google might have the majority
or something like that. I don't know. Long story short, even that's not the case.
Spotify does not want to lose money. They don't think they're going to lose money.
And they're not going to let these big companies take their money from them by taking Joe Rogan
down, which means we all get to ride the coattails
of joe rogan's show it's not like you're gonna get absolute free speech on most platforms
but joe rogan's hosted you know controversial guests and the media's lost their mind over it
now spotify's putting putting money behind it on youtube and all these other platforms on every
platform that's like we win dude yeah this is like uh this is like the uh inverse of john
stewart coming back to the daily
show that seems like a desperate play for them to install this guy to deceptively edit reality and
try to just take the election uh but this is like a big cultural win you know this is very impactful
especially he's gonna be back on youtube during election it will be election year do we know when
this starts i believe it's now i mean i don't know when they're going to. When was it? It was the end of 2020.
They were like January of 2021 or something.
He moved over.
Wow.
So it's about time for his contracts to expire.
I don't know.
Spotify announced in 2020 that it was going to acquire Megaphone for $235 million.
Wow. And then it looks like the deal didn't finalize for a little while, but.
I'm pretty sure it went through.
Are you sure? It is finalized now. It just looks like it took a year or two oh right on so how does this affect the sort of the
left-wing industry of getting advertisers to boycott um you know personalities and then somehow
that chokes off their revenue yeah i'm not really sure well it's basically it's basically it's the end man you think spotify
is is as as a major player in the space is going to tolerate that they're going to go to joe rogan
google's going to start going here and spotify is going to say don't touch it because that's
their money now it's not yep you think they'll listen yeah google and well let's see i don't
know if this is uh i pulled it up in the spring of 2019
google announced the acquisition of the world-renowned swedish music streaming service
spotify google believed the acquisition of the world's most popular service blah blah blah
did it actually they considered a transaction amount to be quite acceptable uh spotify google
remain as two independent companies in 2023 okay so it's not but i think basically when you have
major industries saying we endorse this
look at dave chappelle's comedy you look at bud light sponsoring shane gillis it's just like
we're winning the culture and the culture is what leads to the politics like donald trump getting
elected is a component of that when you look at all the things that the left is doing the democrats
are doing it's like they want to burn the country down incite violence because they're desperate it's like you were saying about ted bundy like
they the walls are closing in man we're winning everything do you think we'll see a trump on rogan
on youtube i don't know man it would be epic it'd be epic i mean you know biden's not gonna do he
can't sit in one place and talk for two hours his His face would fall off. This is one of the things I've started to start following just for my own amusement.
Like he did the national prayer breakfast and he spoke for 10 minutes.
And the year before he spoke for 20.
So it really is dwindling how long he speaks.
So he really, I mean, we've talked about this with the people who are running for office
right now.
Vivek was really good about this.
RFK is on the podcast circuit.
They're kind of embracing these alternative platforms,
but this format of just talking for several hours
is not natural to everybody.
And I really don't think it's natural to Joe Biden.
Not even on the people who are running
for the conservative ticket,
like DeSantis and Haley couldn't do a podcast.
But Trump is a complete natural for it.
I mean, he goes long on his speeches just because he wants to anyways.
I mean, he could talk for three hours by himself.
Him and Rogan eating Trump steaks.
Just hanging out, having a good time.
It'd be great.
Trump steaks.
Yeah.
Let's do it.
Trump steaks still exist, right?
I have no idea.
I thought they were done, but they could be.
This is the thing about this.
This is what really, you know what?
You know what helped me be aware of the lies about donald trump in the 2015-16 cycle i'm i'm at uh fusion in uh and it's
in miami it's in durell it's like right next to trump durell uh golf resort okay and so if i'm in
new york and everyone's saying oh trump did this trump is that i'm like wow that's crazy i'm like
you know i'm and i'm and i'm i'm going on the ground i'm meeting people and i'm like well that one doesn't seem to
make sense but then i go to trump durell trump steaks available on the menu trump bottled water
and trump magazine i'm i'm fairly certain it was all there and i went oh trump ice his companies
are like mcdonald's makes their own mayonnaise it's cheaper for Trump to make a product internally
than it is to pay a premium
to have another company do it.
If Trump gets his stakes
from a big steak company,
he's going to be paying
for their 10% margin or whatever.
If he does it all on his own
as a Trump steak,
he saves 10%
when he sources the materials
for his hotels and his resorts.
Hotels need bottled water.
It's kind of a microcosm of america first right always
buy from trump yeah but then the media kept saying that like his companies are bankrupt
and they were like you can't even buy trump steaks where are they at and i was like huh
well they're right here along with the taco bowl that's right the taco bowl i wonder if trump
steaks are still no trump states are unfortunately not a thing they stopped in 2007 which is pain
really but i'm sure they're still on the menu i'm sure like if you get a steak at
there's like a freeze-dried vertical integration going on there yeah it wouldn't not be so
no this is also isn't it not i feel like it'd be normal if if people shut down branches of
their business like this happens all the time why the fact that he even built a trump steak
brand is hilarious in the first place he's
not gonna get credit for that steaks i don't know tim you might have something here tim steaks
they had trump water and i brought i brought uh trump water back to the office in new york
because they were all saying that trump water went out of business and that trump was bankrupt
all these companies and they loved running this line where they were like donald trump has been
bankrupt five times how is he still rich and well it's because the banks are propping up it's because
he had 500 companies so 495 were fine and the trump organization was fine so i come back i'm
like oh here's the trump water like where'd you get this and i'm like from trump hotel like
literally next to the office in miami they were like wow i'm like these people have no idea what's
going on in the world god look at that picture that picture. I just want like a SkyMall equivalent, but it's Trump-related products.
Yeah.
Like just Trump Mall, and he just sells you like all kinds of random things.
Those have like popped up independently all around the country, you know?
Really?
Say, I want Trump official stuff.
This is like this like mainstream wasteland, and then all of a sudden you'll see a store
that's just like the Trump store.
There's a lot of them in Florida.
What?
You'll see them in like the middle of the country but you'll just be driving along and then you'll see just all of a
sudden just a window plastered with trump paraphernalia it's like a souvenir shop for like
the part of america that's voting for him like this is amazing this is crazy look at this in
the wikipedia for trump stakes says in august 2015 time magazine included trump stakes on the list of
trump business failures in december 2015 during the 2016 presidential campaign a super PAC supporting john casick produced an ad mocking
trump stakes blah blah blah i don't care dude i should totally make a list of my business failures
yeah there's a lot right i once worked on an app to facilitate political donations on facebook for
politicians and this was like 2009 or 10 or something,
very early days.
It was like the app days of Facebook.
And I was working with some,
like how would anyone ever find out?
Like we worked on a project.
It went nowhere.
We fizzled out.
We had like an early prototype that couldn't really,
you know, then we were like,
ah,
we don't know.
There's too much regulation.
Let's do something else.
The amount of things Trump's probably worked on.
The funny thing is they mock him for his failures.
It's a perfect,
perfect example of who they are. They have no no failures they think that's a good thing yeah
but they never tried to do anything they're averse to risk and they don't want to fail
they're averse to any work yes this is true yeah that's why they like the pods
i mean look let's let's let's let's this. We put them in the pods.
They don't mind.
We give them the bugs.
They also don't mind.
Who's complaining?
I don't got to eat the bugs.
And I'm not going to live in the pod, but they can.
I mean, that's what they're doing.
Give them the new Apple headset.
Yeah.
This is my life plan, right?
Like, just let them go and I'll stay here.
And if that's what you guys want to do, cool, cool, cool.
But I don't want to. In that direction, like the trend of a lot of people growing up not having
kids they're just going to fizzle out and also they're going to plug into the neural link and
they're going to go to their micro universes where they're you know the demon slayer and you know
they got all the busty women jumping up and down around them it's funny because they don't like
elon right now but they also didn't like trump but it was trump's vaccine but now they love the vaccine so at some point they'll probably like the neural link even if also didn't like Trump, but it was Trump's vaccine, but now they love the vaccine. So at some point they'll probably like the neural link. Even if they
didn't like Elon's metaverse, because that's how they, that's their logic. Yeah.
No, but look how many of these, these liberal people have hidden their blue checks on Twitter.
Yeah. Why, why sign up for the service just to pretend like you didn't sign up for it?
You know what I mean? Yeah.
What a genius move by Elon to just hide that though. It's like the best to give them the option. You can hide your verification. Great move. Great move. That's because they're scared politically. You can't give Elon money. What a genius move by Elon to just hide that though. It's like the best move ever. To give him the option, you can hide your verification badge.
Great move.
Great move.
That's crazy.
You want to be a coward, you can do it.
I think these people are going to line up.
The left is going to line up to jump into the matrix with smiles on their faces.
It's their entire MO.
And they're going to advocate their kids do it.
And they're going to, you know what?
You're better off.
Ignorance is bliss.
Well, look.
They're going to be eating those big juicy steaks yeah how could you be depressed
right a clinical um hormonal depression i suppose where you just don't understand why you're you
feel your body doesn't produce the correct amount of serotonin yeah or something like that but for
the average person their listlessness and depression i love the funny funny thing about Lauren Southern had this tweet where she said,
before we give you SSRIs,
you have to go to the gym twice a week or something.
And everyone's like,
you don't understand some people.
And she's like,
I'm not talking about people who are immobile.
She's like,
if you have the ability to go to the gym,
go start working out.
It releases endorphins.
It makes you feel better.
What's going to happen is someone's going to be like,
I'm depressed.
And I'm like,
have you considered plugging in an oral link and being a mini god in your own universe
my friend uh joe allen who's with the war room went to some tech convention recently and he
posted a video of a new like type of metaverse thing where you can plug in you're like a little
girl i'm like yeah it's like they were like it was like uh i know i know and there was like a feed
that you put on your like a thing on your mouth that i know i know and there was like a feed that you put on your like
a thing on your mouth that i think wait wait start over an adult man went to a convention
convention for adults including adult men is all tech for all new tech and there was one like booth
sharing some new tech of like a metaverse thing where you plug in and have the headset on and
uh a mouth thing over you so you can scream or be loud and no one can hear you outside and brought
you into a you are a little girl and the character on the screen was like a young girl so i mean i
guess sell it as like look the transgender surgeries are even cheaper in the metaverse
well i suppose it's like if someone made a video game and it's like some old dude plays it that's
kind of creepy but i'm not going to blame someone who made a game with a character you know i think it's weird because that's promoting like you a lot of people
can go into the metaverse and now be these things that they want to be oh bro i think that's morally
this exists already well it's west world right no it exists already so during lockdowns uh we
we still have the oculus nobody uses it but uh shout outs to Space Pirate Robot Game. You ever play that one?
Yo, that game is amazing.
It's a VR game for the Oculus.
And you're staying on this big platform and there's robots flying at you.
Oh, I've played this game.
Yeah.
It's so fun.
And you have like different kinds of guns or an energy sword and a shield.
And so I just love whacking the robots.
It's so fun.
But there's also a chat room function where you go into this virtual reality chat room and there's like a rabbit walking around and there's like the mad
hatter and there's just like you know a crocodile dude and one guy's a carrot and they're walking
around and the guy's like identifies a carrot you know like no one really i'm kidding no one really
said that oh so they're not npcs they're's humans. It's human beings in the game, walking around in their VR space.
It's inanimate objects.
And you can like point the stick and then teleport because you can only move so far.
But this is what I was saying.
Like in the future, you're going to be in a business meeting and you're going to like,
it's going to be indistinguishable from reality.
You're going to put on your headset or whatever, plug in your neural link, fall back.
And then you're walking into the office.
You sit down at the table and you got Mario to your left.
You got the Incredible Hulk over here.
A giant cupcake with a smiley face.
You don't even need an electric car to get there.
No, you just teleport.
And the cupcake is going to look at you with a big old smile and go,
Okay, let's get into the TPS reports.
Our sales were down last week.
Nobody wants to buy anything.
New guy's going to walk in looking just like a human being.
And he's going to be the only one.
He's going to be like, am I in the wrong room?
I'm like, no, no, you're here.
This is Jim.
He's been emailing you.
He identifies as a cupcake.
You go, oh, okay.
Well, okay, great.
Yeah.
My brother is an eclair.
Like, oh, really?
You guys should talk sometime.
You're making a lot of comments.
Yeah.
It's like-
No, and then the cupcake is like, actually, eclairs are very offensive to us.
It's like, oh, I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
I mean, I do think that there will be people who are interested in this.
And in some ways, this sounds more entertaining than like endless Zoom meetings if you work from home.
But I just think it'll ultimately be one of these things that like really splits people.
And I think to your point from earlier, like people are already kind of dividing up in the way they live.
We have very separate lifestyles going on people who choose not to have children and are maybe more like more into pursuing their specific interests
the metaverse might be a great place because it makes traveling cheaper because you just have to
plug in you don't have to buy a plane ticket it makes you know something that might physically
risk you like if you wanted to be a great uh skydiver right you don't actually have to do it
you can just get the thrill of doing it virtually. Whereas there'll be people who are like, no, I want to talk to people in real life
and I want to have kids and I want to bear responsibilities in a way that you clearly
don't want to. They'll just stop interacting. I saw this reel on Instagram where someone was
saying like when you move different cities and like one group of friends is talking about settling
down and having kids and the other one is like, I'm doing peyote this week and I'm doing whatever.
There are just people who split and they do different things and they live different ways
and they'll stop intersecting at some point do we take away their right to vote or run for office
if they're in a meta only net taxpayers can vote problem solved all right there we go that solves
all problems if you're a net taxpayer you can vote have a nice day door dashes just come out
ahead because they will be delivering food to all of the people plugged into the metaverse.
You cannot feed people on the metaverse.
The Matrix got all this wrong.
They needed it because there's no
conflict without it, but the premise of the Matrix
is that they gave humans paradise
and humans rejected it because humans need conflict.
But there's no reason to
create one Matrix. Each
individual person could be in their own matrix
with experiencing their own conflict and they would never have rebellion the machines would
control everyone because you'd be in your own universe and they could make the universe whatever
you wanted it to be kind of like a truman show more like sort of yeah but no one's really watching
it's just to control you and you put yourself there self-imposed truman show and what if uh what if simulation theory what if it's prison you are for like if if we get to that point of neuralink
someone commits a crime they're going to say you are sentenced to live a life
in this way through neuralink and so you know they take out your happyink and then Neuralink and then they put in the bad one.
Well, no, they don't have to change anything.
Neuralink is an implant.
They just program it.
You just wireless connect to it.
Yeah.
So some guy is driving his car and he's drunk.
He's like, oh, and then he crashes and he kills some teenager and they're like, you're going to prison.
He's like, no.
And they're like, we're going to make you live a life as a parent who loses a child in this way and you will live in them and that'll be your punishment and the sentence
is only like a week long but they put the guy in the pod crying they turn the thing on and then he
experiences 70 years of life as growing up having a family raising a kid kids killed by a drunk
driver he has to live through it all and then he wakes up like then he ages gets old dies and then wakes up in the pod like like would we as a society
accept that as a punishment you think the problem with the united states is that we went a little
crazy with the no cruel unusual punishment thing and uh it's a good thing but i mean we went a
little crazy with it in that like now there's literally no instead of actually trying to figure out ways to create deterrence we just say put them in a box
and we've created gang hangouts we've like just centralized gang headquarters
yeah and it's like it is good we said no cruel unusual punishment the problem is we need to be
more specific about what it means to be cruel and unusual like our
punishments are completely uniform for the most part and it's you go into a box and then like
people are getting raped in there yeah is that not cruel and unusual it certainly is but we don't
care so we've uniform like it's made this uniform thing whereas like there are means of creating
penalties for crimes that are better deterrence and i I'm not going to list a bunch, but I'll give you an example.
And I think it might be like Switzerland.
If you're speeding, you have to pay a percentage fine.
So in the United States, you pay a dollar fine.
I think it's Switzerland.
I'm not sure.
But there's countries in Europe where it's like, okay, your fine is, you know, 0.5% of
your yearly income based on your past year's taxes.
And that's getting kicked in the balls.
If you're making, you know, 20 million bucks, you're like,'s taxes and that's getting kicked in the balls if you're making you know 20 million bucks you're like oh man that's a fine but what happens is like right
now we're like nope everybody's got to pay 50 bucks for a parking ticket it's like okay for a
lot of people that's just paying for parking so like uh wrigley field in chicago for instance
people everyone parks illegally because it's like i'll get it i'll get a hundred dollar ticket
cost 100 bucks to park.
Yeah.
And so they're double parked.
I remember cause I used to live there two blocks away and people would double park down our street,
blocking our cars in.
And it's like,
we got to get them towed,
get them towed.
And then what happens when the people come out,
they pay 200 bucks to get the car out of the impound lot,
which is not that far away.
And they're like,
okay,
they're like worth it.
Yup.
Because you can't park anywhere else.
Right.
It's like you're driving down Clark and and there's a guy waiting service right and now
you know where your car is at you're like i just want to come out my car will be it'll be safe in
the impound no one's gonna break in or steal anything yeah so perhaps i'm phrasing it wrong
like we should not allow cruel and unusual punishment but we should allow for variety
in how we handle crimes yeah this is what I found interesting about the nitrogen hypoxia execution that took it
was the first one ever on January 25th.
And the whole argument was that this guy, Kenneth Eugene Smith, who's in Alabama, dead
now, he had they couldn't do a lethal injection in 2022, I think.
And part of it was he had said, you're not gonna be able to get a vein and it's gonna
be uncomfortable for me.
And this is cruel.
You guys shouldn't make me do this.
And eventually that was true.
It didn't happen.
Alabama stayed executions for three months.
And during that time, he was like, I want nitrogen hypoxia.
That's what I want.
And Alabama is one of three states where it's legal.
Then later he was like, no, there are too many risks.
Like, I don't want to do this.
And ultimately, you you know legal proceedings
the un there was a commission there being like it is it's human experimentation you can't do this
and when he died you know you had some outlets that ran it that were like it took 22 minutes
to strap in he struggled well also there are reports that like he refused he held his breath
he didn't want to breathe the nitrogen is coming in just like during the lethal injection there are reports that he at one point you have to clench your fist and
he wouldn't do it like ultimately this person did not want to die which i sympathize with except
you were on death row so i want to die quickly he wanted to yeah it is like you're on death row for
a murder so you knew this one was coming uh only pc america is going to do like oh how safe this whole conversation is like is this
is nitrogen hypoxia less cruel more cruel is it okay to have other options because if you can't
get a vein on someone it takes several hours to try and find when you ultimately call it off that
seems way more cruel to me but what about just like regular old hypoxia right why nitro it's
nitrogen but it's like nitrogen deprives the oxygen from your body so they just fall asleep or what you fall asleep and then eventually you're going to organ failure
but you don't feel it because you're asleep okay what's wrong with it yeah he said that if anything
were to go wrong i could be a vegetable i could risk a stroke which is like there are risks to
lethal injection too and then one of his there were lots of things that came up at last minute
resistance uh he had a spiritual advisor who was who filed a complaint saying albama's made me
sign this waiver that if anything goes wrong if i'm within three feet of him i risk exposure to
this nitrogen and you're stopping me from being able to anoint him at death uh well so it's it's
just it's as we move forward with all of these new technologies and all of these new options we
have to ask along the way like is this experimentation is it cruel and unusual but
also you have to say like people who are delving into this sometimes are just doing it
to avoid punishment here's here's the harsh reality in uh singapore i think it's uh six
canings you get you get caned six times yeah the canings are like people don't understand
it's like a it's like a hard giant bamboo stick it's it's not fun at all like you pass out if you
litter they beat you
yeah and so nobody litters nobody chews gum do they do it publicly i know it's not public it's
not public it's private thing so i'm against the state being allowed to kill people uh and so is
one of my favorite writers albert albert camus someone i love his writing and uh he was also
against the state having the ability to kill people however he made an argument in uh the essay notes on a guillotine that if we're going to do this it needs
to be very public to actually deter people from doing it instead of doing it behind closed doors
where no one knows it's an amazing essay i actually don't think the death penalty is a
strong deterrent i think publicly beating someone while laughing at them would be there's a especially
with a lot of criminals having this like uh especially in chicago a lot of the criminals are they want respect
humiliating them in public would be a deterrent for sure i'm not saying i advocate for it i'm
saying the guys that i know in the south side if they were like if you get caught stealing
we will put you in a stock and spank you and shame you and make you wear a diaper
in public and take pictures
and post it to the internet, they'd be like, I ain't getting caught
dude, I ain't doing that, you're nuts.
I got Connell on the brain, but that's
what she did in California when she was
AG. Spanked people. No.
Well, there was that Montel Williams stuff.
A little bit of trying to humiliate
the work
having prison crews
fight wildfires.
Well, that's slavery.
That's different.
That's not humiliation.
They want that.
The people in the prisons ask for that duty because it gets them out.
Yeah.
They get to go on, they get to go out, they get to go on rides, they get paid a dollar an hour.
But it's like, it's compelled servitude.
Right. No, I'm saying like, I don't't speak for everybody but caning in public would be a
tremendous deterrent i mean there's a reason why we don't do it because it's so severe and i'm not
again not advocating for it but that's the harsh reality is that places like singapore there's no
gum on the ground people don't litter they're there because it like you will be beaten we used
to put people in stocks here yeah what happened to that make
stocks great again yes make america stock again st-o-c-k okay would you guys would you guys
support uh neural link prisons no i don't think i think real life is real life and you have to
be punished in real life yeah i do too it's like waking up from a dream you know it will
affect you for a day perhaps i also just don't trust neural link at all and so there's a level
of i don't feel like i can in good faith put someone in neural link prison if i also don't
i will let elon but hold on experiment on bad people hold on let's say you got somebody like
that was that was there's one group that tried that this dad let's say you got somebody who he's 20 years old and him and his buddies go into a bodega and armed robbery, steal from the store clerk, smash everything up, take all his money, ransack the place and then leave.
They get caught later and he gets sentenced to four years in prison for the armed robbery.
His sentences, he will be placed in a neural link where he will wake up with the memories of a store clerk owner and none of his past life.
And he will experience having his life savings and life destroyed in this moment.
And then after that moment, he wakes up realizing what he did and how they felt.
Isn't that kind of like what they were doing in Clockwork Orange when they had the guy's eyes
kept open and they're showing him all the
footage? Yeah, but like actually having him experience
the life of a... Yeah, a little different.
You're a guy who saved up... You know, he's like,
I'm working really hard. My wife is sick.
I need to make money. And then
you come in, smash
something and destroy it all. And then
they leave and you experience all of that
suffering. i guess one
of the things that brings up for me is the idea like in the neural link are you able to program
someone's emotions because like if you don't feel the guilt or if you don't feel empathy really
then going into someone else's life and suffering like would you experience that's the point like
you force them through that experience and it's monitored and measured. I'm just really worried
about the amount of power
who's controlling
the Neuralink.
That would be...
Yeah, I'm just anti-Neuralink,
I think, across the board.
Reality is pretty good.
What about only as...
Only for the left.
Yeah.
Only for people...
No, but they want it.
No, but they want it.
Like, what if the prisoners
are like, okay,
you can do this one
or you can go into the Neuralink?
Like, do we want there like lethal injection versus nitrogen hypoxia do we want there to be options
for people to choose how they're punished what if we just say we're gonna we're we're gonna send you
like you committed a crime you can go to prison regular real life prison for like okay so this
is a serious crime it's a negligent homicide you were drinking and driving you killed two kids
you're gonna get 10 years because it's your it's your like third dui you weren't supposed you didn't It's a serious crime. It's a negligent homicide. You were drinking and driving. You killed two kids.
You're going to get 10 years because it's your, it's your like third DUI.
You weren't supposed, you didn't have a license.
You're not someone who was like trying to go out and kill, but you've shown a pattern of behavior.
And they say, what are we going to do?
We're going to lock you up for 15 years, 20 years, or Neuralink for life.
But Neuralink happiness.
You can go into this machine we remove you from society
because you're a danger to society you will live a normal happy life where you will feel good
and you will cause no harm to anybody i guess that's the other question like is imprisonment
about separating people from the population or is it about rehabilitation because there are other
countries that have different feelings about this and i think it would be hard to know it's supposed
to be in the united states the purpose of prison is to uh unite gang members and harden them to the worst criminals until
there's a lockdown and then you release them all so the crime right and then they keep their
populations down it's just a culling method man that's all it is but shane what if one day you're
like on your deathbed your family's all around you and then you're like thank you for such a
good life and they're like we love you we love you and then you wake up and you're like some 26 year old gangbanger who like
shot who shot an author who wrote weird sci-fi mystery novels i would be extremely depressed
i would have to wake up and not have that family well how do you wake up
but think about like you guys have you ever watched the rick and morty episode where uh
summer is in the car and rick is like protect summer and so that's good it shoots a guy in
the spine at first it slices a guy into cubes and she screams like don't do don't kill people
so then it paralyzes the next guy and she's like stop hurting people so then when the police show
up it it genetically it clones the son of one of the police officers.
And the child comes out and he's like, daddy.
And he's like, oh, my God.
And he hugs his son.
But then his son's like, don't hurt the car, daddy.
He's like, what?
And then the kid melts and he's screaming.
Like, think about the kind of torture you could do to people with a Neuralink where you give them a child and then force them to to live
full neural link reality of watching their child be murdered in front of them it also depends on
the degree to which these people can or have a capacity for emotion because some of these
psychopaths i don't know if it would work on them so in the end we were saying like you can make
them feel some emotions or whatever but like i don't think that's the point the point is to get
the person to feel those emotions but then you you get to the idea of, yeah, whether
they can feel those or if they're capable of feeling it.
Yeah, would, like Hannah mentioned
earlier, are you able to control their
emotions or you just try to manipulate
them? Well, but like,
you could theoretically make, I think
at the point of neural link, you can make them feel things.
Like if we're talking about read, write.
Physical pain, emotional pain. Emotional,
everything. Like, if we can write to the brain enough
to where they can experience things,
you could force emotional sensation.
That's what I'm curious about.
Because like, again, I would never be a foreign Neuralink.
I don't think I could ever be convinced.
But with like, you can make someone feel something,
but it is enough to rewire the way their brain works, right?
Like if you had a sociopath,
is Neuralink gonna be able to make them experience enough to make them have empathy like if you're hardwired to to function a certain way maybe you
just use the neural link to reprogram his brain to be virtuous but that's that's the point no but
yes that's the point the way hey we're gonna take out the murder part yeah be careful but this is
this is the point right the point is when so imagine the sci-fi movie, a guy is living a life and he experiences the death of his girlfriend and he starts an organization to fight drunk driving and he becomes an old man.
And then, you know, like a young woman comes in and just wants to let you know that, you know, you really helped my dad and the organization you did, blah, blah, blah, turned his alcoholism around.
And he's like, thank you so much.
And then on his deathbed, he's got, you know, his loved ones around them are like, you stopped
so many drunk drivers.
And then he wakes up as a 23 year old who killed two people in a drunk driving accident.
And he's immediately like, we can never allow drunk driving ever again.
Oh my God.
And then completely abandons.
It could work on some and it might not work on others.
That's why I think it's, it's an unreliable punishment.
But hold on for the sociopaths who can't feel emotional pain.
You just simulate
them being flayed alive over and over again we'll do a we need a neural link for unit 730
or whatever it was 371 731 whatever it is in japan uh yeah so this is why i'm trying to talk
to elon about the neural link so we can get answers to these questions one day one day he'll
respond yeah i don't know man there's a whole lot of power
for the person pushing the buttons the thing about neural link is there's beautiful things
about what he talks about elon talking about now with fixing epilepsy or paraplegics goes yeah
exactly but these these things we're talking about that are i don't think that far away from
what neural link is capable of doing i'm really curious do you think i think we use for people
that have like that have psychological,
what's the word?
I guess antisocial disorders?
Neurodivergence.
Okay, hey, I'm neurodivergent.
I had a brain injury.
I'm neurodivergent, all right, guys?
I have real brain damage, okay, guys?
Someone who has a personality.
Stop claiming that you're special.
Always want to be the victim.
I'm from South Africa.
I lived abroad.
I have brain injury
I get it
I get it
You're very very special
No
You're all very special
Now go home
No but the thing is
Like could it
Could it cure
A personality disorder
Yeah that's what I'm saying
Like could someone
That's like a murderer
Have their
That's murder
Turn off
But then someone
Could hack it
And someone would
Program what personality
To you
Right
Who's personality Well someone Someone posted uh there was a meme actually i wonder i wonder if i can find it uh
it was basically like some guys being annoying on the train so they hack his neural link to make
him trans to give him to give him gender dysphoria No, thank you. We can't have that future.
Tim, I'm sure you saw in Ghost in the Shell
and a lot of the different stuff they talk about there,
they would hack people, literally,
because if anyone knows the anime,
they have people in there that are cyborgs,
and they would literally hack the cyborg
and make them...
One of the opening scenes,
this guy doesn't know what he's doing,
and he thinks he has this whole program life
of 30 years,
and in reality,
he just got hacked this morning,
and he thinks he's living out this whole grand scheme, and he's a wife and kids and stuff but really it's not even
real it's just fake memory this is what dreams are people just hacking us in the simulation
i mean could be who knows man no i don't buy dreams are when you log out and you're out yeah
you log out like in westworld there is no AFK no thank you
did you like Westworld
did you watch it
I watched the first season
I think
like most people
yeah
and then
yeah what happened
Jesse from
Breaking Bad
got really depressed
and I was like
yeah
the first season
of Westworld
was amazing
I just binged it
and then the second season
I was like
this is trash
first season is great but I reference that lot talking when we talk about like npcs
right the the robots in westworld couldn't see a door so you knew right they couldn't see a door
they're a robot and when you talk about npcs and the alternate reality they're and they don't see
our reality that's they're the robots right so i just look at that show it's like a test for
vampires i can't see the reflection and what if we are all NPCs and there are weird,
you know,
eight foot tall green people
who walk around
like just laughing
and watching the show
and they're like,
oh, this is so fun.
Yeah, I guess there's a degree
of relativism to NPCs
because we would be then
to the shadow beings
or the gray aliens
that are walking amongst us.
The shadow beings.
Yeah.
They're here right now.
They're in that chair.
Yeah, they're just like,
they're watching,
like it's like a movie. Yeah. I'm'm just like look at these guys talking about these guys
thinking they have free speech free will how it's the world below they all think they're
gonna make millions there's some fat green skin thing sitting next to its fat green skinned
roommate eating popcorn being like it's really funny that they're debating free speech but
they're all programmed wait till they hit the next level and we upgrade this into wait till we
see what we do with joe rogan next yeah they're really enjoying their corpse president it's so
funny i mean it it certainly doesn't feel like we're in the uh in in real life how crazy everything
is it's just like you know people want to look for miracles i'm like
well donald trump being president doesn't seem like real life nobody thought it was possible
and here he is so it's i don't know what you think miracles are supposed to look like but
all the crazy stuff that we've seen over the past few years it really does feel like someone wrote
this yeah i i think i don't believe we're in a simulation i believe that there is a false reality
put on top of this reality by the corporate press, by the bureaucrats.
Oh, that's true.
And they keep selling it and people buy into that world, which is basically like being
a simulation, which is why we feel like we're in an alternate reality from the people on
the left.
You think Trump is real?
I stopped believing in Trump when I was 12.
You think the 90s was actually a thing?
Yeah, it was too good to be true.
Yeah.
How could they make it?
Wait, you remember the 90s think about what
it's going to be like with deep fakes in the future they're going to have candidates they
just manufacture there will be a guy named like you know joe biden joe biden and everyone watches
the videos online and they see him on tv and he doesn't exist they're just deep fake creating this
and everyone's like i didn't vote for joe biden or or bo jiden there's no actual people yeah dude in the
future they're going to if we have a future they're going to have debates on whether or not robots
should vote what what it means to be a person you know can they can they run for office because
they'll be so advanced you would have the robots next generation had that episode really yeah i
think it's called measure of a man interesting and. And it's data, Android, is they hold a trial to determine whether or not he's property or a sentient being with rights.
What was he?
That he was a sentient and had rights.
And it seems also obvious to us now, but we grew up with people having written these ideas out.
And it's been a long time since I saw the episode, but I think there was one where he gets asked by the guy who says he's a
machine,
basic questions like,
how do you know you're alive?
And he just goes,
how do you know you're alive?
And the guy's getting frustrated.
He's like,
I'm a human being.
I am alive.
And like,
and then he asks them,
you know,
questions.
Can you,
how do you,
how do you,
how can you prove?
And he's like,
can you,
and the guys can't.
Right.
And they're going to try to redefine what a soul even means if we get to that future where robots are fighting
for their ability to vote or or even be married legally like that i i do see that as like a
possible future in the dystopia that we are on right now and then humans will die off and the
robots take over right yeah oh i'll miss humans the worst no you won't it'll it'll be like
thousand thousands of years and the last human
didn't they make a like isn't there like a movie or a show about this where it's like there's only
one old human left and everyone else is a robot there is that game uh what is it what's that
what's that cat game you guys play the one that game is awesome you play as a cat and you're in
a simulator you're no you play as a cat you're in a future where humans have all died
and all that's left are the ai robots that served humans and they've become confused and purposeless
and dejected because there's no longer any humans and so you're a cat going around do they do they
end up like the cat rally the robots to the robot of him i like there's uh i guess it's the most
human thing on there's multiple levels one level it's the most human thing on the planet.
There's multiple levels. One level, it's like the slums
and the sewers.
Everyone, it's just robots.
Then there's one level where the security
robots have everything locked down and
won't let anyone or anything leave because that was their job.
And so all the robots are just
trapped and stuck and can't do anything.
But then the cat,
because you're the cat, it learns how to talk to a robot and then it opens this do anything. But then the cat, because you're the cat,
it learns how to talk to a robot and then it opens this thing up
and then releases the robots.
I guess the premise is now the robots can become
the new civilization or something.
Are they all ultimately indebted to cats?
I have to assume that the cat ends up on top.
This is cat person
propaganda for sure.
That only cats will save the AI robot.
Yeah, and the cat has
like a little backpack with a robot that comes out and like adorable i love it i'm in i'm gonna
play i mean the game's awesome yeah it's super awesome i understood how video games work yeah
yeah and i remember when the ads came out and it was like showing the cat just like doing cat stuff
and like rubbing its face and then you play it how can we help you today well so i thought it
from the ads it was just like you get to play as a cat and the cat knocks things off shelves or whatever
and then i played and i was like oh it's a sci-fi dystopia where humans have been wiped out and
robots have taken over very different game to what i thought it was going to be yeah but it was good
it was fun you know i think that's future righted for i thought this for a long time actually humans
are going to create ai and robots the capabilities of self-replication
and humans die off for some reason
and robots are just like
adios. We got it from here.
We're progressing ourselves out of existence.
The robots can live by themselves
and build more robots
and they can float through space
for 50 billion years
and we're going to let them
we're not going gonna get in a fight
and scorch the sun like the matrix we're just gonna be like hey no it's cool like why would
robots and humanity fight that way if anything what'll happen is we create rudimentary ai that
is too stupid and then just shoves corn down our throats like humans like corn make more corn corn
good i mean because like current algorithms produce insanity however if we actually
get to the point where ai is improving itself it will become some kind of demigod instantly
the exponential growth curve means it's like within an hour it doubles its intelligence within
an hour it's quadrupled with another hour it's 10x then it's 100 then a thousand and it's just
and the human race just lets that happen and doesn't try to stop it at any point we are actively building it right now
and no one is resisting no but after it starts wrestling for control of the world but there
there's no there's no circumstance where the ai has to wrestle for control we have handed all of
the control to it so you're saying we've already surrendered to the rope absolutely yeah absolutely
i criticize him on a lot but he has i mean look at your algorithmic facebook and youtube and twitter
and instagram the robot has decided what you should think and you can't do anything about it
out of sight out of mind i mean ask ask yourself why it is that your liberal friends and family
members don't know what joe biden's doing and there certainly some people are more responsible
than others but the machine controls what you can see and if you can't see the news you won't know
what's happening harry tumman said i freed many slaves i would have freed many more if only they
knew they were slaves so i see a post from the krasnstein's you know we love to rag on these guys
and it's a clip where someone is talking about the barisma scandal and i think it was ed krenstein said this is a lie and
it was proven a lie imagine that being fed to someone in an algorithm and they believe the
barisma stuff is not true this like ed's line he's he's it is it is so clearly true all that
stuff that's happened and there's just piles and piles of evidence but you go on twitter the for
you page sends you false information and in your mind you're like wow that was a lie
it was all a lie and you believe joe biden did not engage in that shakedown this is like a problem i
had you know the mario naufal whoever that conglomerate of people is on twitter you know
the x feed wants me to see their posts all the time. And recently he shared that the Pawn Stars son died, but he shared the wrong son picture. And that was out there for hours. And then eventually it was
deleted because a lot of people were like, you're sharing the wrong son. But people will have seen
that post, hundreds of thousands, and then they'll believe that reality where that person was dead,
which creates a kind of false Mandela effect yeah exactly yeah and then
they're like someone got 10 years later like that's not entirely accurate one of his sons did
die right but they saw the picture of the other son so in 10 years they're gonna be like yeah you
know john died they're like no it was bill like shut up dude i remember when we're from different
timelines that's the thing about the mandela effect because are you familiar with it no it's
where uh people believe that there are different timelines or that
the timeline changed and so some people remember mandela dying in prison while others remember
remember that he was released he didn't die and so the mandela effect is why do so many people
believe this happened the other one is the fruit of the fruit of the loom this is the best one
so can you describe the fruit of the Loom logo?
It has fruit on it.
And what else?
I don't know.
Like describe the fruit.
Like bananas, cherries.
An apple.
And there's nothing else?
It's got the loom that goes this way and then the words come into it this way.
Charlie might be from the appropriate timeline.
What's the loom?
Well, the loom refers to like the cornucopia basket there is no
cornucopia the fruit of loom logo are you sure well and this is the timeline you're from this
is either a failing of advertising in our memories or it's something to do with large hadron collider
being turned on fruit of the loom but that doesn't mean like that could be their current logo logo
you can go back and look they do claim that it never had a cornucopia.
Where's that one from?
This is so...
Who made it?
I've never seen that.
This was shared by someone.
You've never seen that one?
That's the only one I think about.
So you guys are from different timelines.
So nice to meet you.
Here's the best part.
So you can look up Fruit of the Loom's historical logos.
It never had the cornucopia, but people believe it did.
Really?
There was a rock like
a metal band that made a gag version you know this you know this i've saw it and they put a
cornucopia and it's from like the 80s or something and so people are like wait wait wait if this if
they never did this how did these parodies of it exist with the cornucopia it's like with the
berenstein bears as well there's a spelling that some people remember it being. Berenstein.
Berenstein, I guess.
I forget what the spelling is.
It was Berenstain.
I don't know. Oh, E-I-N instead of.
It's one of those.
Yeah.
So people constantly think.
There's a whole ton of examples of this.
Yeah.
The thing about the Mandela effect, if you're South African, it's like, no.
The real Mandela effect is that he had a great PR team and they convinced everyone that he wasn't a marxist violent right yeah but i mean he
did spend his time in prison and he came and reformed and he did a lot of good things i think
in the neural link right i i think i think you you explained it perfectly at the time when mandela
was in prison a major news organization somewhere falsely reported his death so every so there's millions of people driving to work in the morning and they hear a
report.
Nelson Mandela has died in prison and it was wrong.
And they never issued a correction because they lie.
Those people information in nothing out.
Forgot about it.
Don't know.
Don't care.
10 years later,
they hear he's alive and they go,
what?
No,
no,
no,
no.
I remember when they said he died and the reality is the media lied.
And I call that,
I call those people, the engineers of the false reality the the fake simulation that we're not
like the zeros and ones kind and uh they that they buy into this they they create a reality
where people buy into it and uh it destabilizes all of reality so everyone's having these
conversations like wait that person didn't die or that or trump did this or didn't do that you
know it's why i feel like we are actually injured so i i guess they added the cornucopia in 2022 what did we pressure them
yeah there was a cornucopia oh that's so good i remember cornucopia from my childhood
right well after the controversy and likely because everyone kept saying it they went okay
we'll add that and it clearly does not look like it fits that's that's not the one i remember i've
never seen i'm from isn't there like some kind of like
scholastic warfare thing that had a similar thing conflated i don't know it could be to disprove
the mandela effect two friends of mine i've created fake mandela effects nice so the way it works is
memory is very fallible so what you do is you ask them if they remember something very specific and
obvious so like do you remember Power Rangers?
Yes, of course.
And you remember Rita Repulsa?
Yes, of course.
Then you think about something.
Do you remember the gold and silver monsters that she would have?
And she would make my monster grow.
And there was the giant golden ape.
And then there was the silver one as well.
And people go, yeah, of course, there was no silver one.
I made the one up.
And so the point is, people start thinking in their minds, their fills the gap like i remember rita i remember goldar and then
the so and and the silver chimp as well that was the big one with the wings and then they think
in their mind just because they're not really some people might catch it and they go a silver thing
but many people that your brain will fill the gap because everything made sense except for that one
thing they'll put it in there i don't know if you remember this but this was like an unofficial part of my interview when
i first met you and you pulled out mandela effect oh one of the nights and you were like i forget
what it was kellogg or something what was spelled with two l's yeah yeah and you pulled you printed
it out you're like well how do you think this was this from your timeline i think i passed
which is why i did a kellogg i believe it's spelled with two g's right i forget now
or i think it's been we're in a, right? I forget now. I think it is.
We're in a few different timelines now.
We're all going to get fired.
Yeah, Kellogg has two Gs in it.
And so I think I did a fake Mandela effect with this,
where I actually printed out the logo on something with one G.
Yeah.
And then the goal- What's wrong with this picture?
No, the goal was, like, how do you spell Kellogg?
And then, so I'm pretty sure we printed out a
fake label that was identical but put so but spell kellogg was spelled with one g right so we could
fake a mandela effect by saying how do you spell kellogg and then they're like oh it's uh k-e-l-l-o-g-g
it's like you're wrong and we show the box and it's got one g like whoa i always thought it was
was two g's and then i'm like now do you remember it was like, whoa. I always thought it was 2Gs. And then I'm like, now do you remember?
It was always 1G.
Yeah, you're right.
It was 1G.
Actually, there's a fake box.
We printed it out.
It's not real.
It's so easy to convince people.
We're not hiring you.
You're out.
You failed the Mandela test.
Yeah.
Good luck.
All right.

Here we go.
Triple Flip says, after the whole Texas come and take it flag thing, are barbed wire tattoos
cool again?
Now, if you see a guy with a razor wire in his arm, you're like, based.
Only razor wire.
It's funny that razor wire is
a symbol of resistance right now.
Ted Cruz is actually getting it right now.
We made the come take it
fly. We got a request
for a poll. Is the Mandela
effect real?
I believe it.
Personally, I think there's multiple
types of Mandela effect. I do think the Large Hadron
Collider has affected reality, but I also think there's a type we're talking about where the
corporate press has created a false reality and a false history and a false 70 instantly put
it's right away yes oh it's at 78 right now and so uh votes are coming in 235 75 say yes it is
i know someone whose husband of many years has uh it was like last year she said
all of a sudden he thinks there's a light switch where there never was i heard that and she was
like i think he's from a different timeline like maybe he is the uh this this the mandela effect
resulted in a subculture of i think it's called dimension jumping oh yeah and it's where people
claim with absolutely and i think they're just trolling
but there are forums where they're like i've successfully jumped into another dimension
oh yeah it's called it's called like skipping or something it's on it's on tiktok it's a tiktok
thing that took and so well well before the tiktok thing yeah yeah for a while yeah the idea was the
mandela effect happens and everyone's like whoa but i remember mandela died and then someone goes
you must be from a dimension where he did it. Somehow you crossed over. So the theory is this. I love it. Where we
are right now in the multiverse is a thread. Every possible moment, millions of possibilities
are emerging, all different timelines. Every action you could take results in another timeline.
That's the general hypothesis. And so that means some
timelines are very close to each other. Like today I woke up and I had two pieces of biltong instead
of one. And so the timelines are almost identical because nothing was changed, but they are separate.
These people believe that if the timelines are close enough, you can jump between them
by closing your eyes, shutting like sensory deprivation
shutting everything down and then focusing on that timeline and then you wake up in the timeline
however understand you cannot jump timelines too far so if you like got your leg you lost a leg in
an accident that timeline split is so intense that you can't make the leap that's too far you could
only jump like to right before
you went to that place like no it just depends on if the timeline is close enough so the variations
in time can't be so different to where the leap is too far so typically they say it's things where
it's like you accidentally did something you want to undo and there are people who legitimately are
like this morning i blew a red light and got pulled over closed my eyes and boom i woke up i was driving instantly i was driving again stopped at the red light the cop
was gone and it's like i swear i did it and it's like okay dude this is like organic neural link
they can jump dimensions not what's really happening is people online are bored and
they're lying about it to see if they can get a rise out of people right but there there is a
theory i forgot the name of it where every they say every moment of your life is like a still
frame and that it's infinite well dude yeah and it goes on forever like that to a varying degree
so you're kind of they believe that you could be immortal if you look at mandela died in 2013
he died in in prison didn't he who did no 2013 so you're saying he died after large hadron collider
was turned on no all right let's All right, let's read some more.
Let's read some more Super Jets.
All right.
Chafed BM says, first fact, Ilhan Omar married her brother.
He says, deport her.
I believe that based on the reporting from the Star Tribune, it is likely she did.
The Star Tribune, I can't believe it.
You know, honestly, when the Star Tribune said she may have married her brother,
and they did, I was actually surprised.
That is racist.
But such a storied publication can't be wrong, can they?
It's a different culture.
You couldn't understand.
I read an article from Star Tribune that said,
new information has come to light suggesting that Ilhan Omar may have married her brother
or something like that.
And I read it and I went, whoa! Holy crap!
This is like a major publication.
This is not some fly-by-night fake news website.
It's certified by NewsGuard.
And then I think it was Media Matters or they're like Tim Pool claims.
And I was like, I most certainly did not.
Excuse me?
I was like, man, I can't even read the news.
All right. here we go dj madero says i believe
president joe biden will make this country what it once was an arctic wasteland covered in snow
yeah jackson glass says hey tim do you guys put stuff uh in the coffee i bought some for my
leftist aunt and she and for the first time in 20 years she agreed with my conservative grandpa we just put it love in it and that's how you win people over love and
compassion but it depends on if you gave her the prime time sign two times caffeine because that
has more caffeine drink responsibly all right steven says says correct me if i'm wrong but
there was no congressional authorization of military use. Correct. This is Joe Biden being like, we're going to blow him up.
That's their game, man.
Launch the missiles.
X Tin Man says,
draft lawyers and judges,
adjudicate all of the asylum claims,
get it done, get them out.
Hannah Clare, you are British,
but you always have the nicest teeth.
What's up with that?
It's an illusion.
It's AI.
Just kidding.
It's a filter.
Yep.
Actually, no teeth at all
don't tell the secret i'm not married yet you know i can't i can't let anyone know until i've
trapped a man then the filter comes off what do we got brian jesus from a border patrol friend
he said border patrol arrests all they come in contact with that crosses the border. ICE is in charge of all the transportation. And so you have on video CBP
opening the gates at the bollard fence and counting them as they walk in. Okay, so that's
them committing crimes. And you have videos of them taking them and bringing them into vans and
transporting them to their NGO destinations. I get it. And ICE is responsible for the transportation
inside the country. Totally agree.
I apologize
to the CBP agents who
I did not include your
brothers in ICE who are working
domestically to engage in human smuggling.
But on the border,
you work with the cartels, let them in, you're responsible.
ICE, good point.
They're responsible too. Can't leave
them out.
Jordan Cogburn says
it wouldn't surprise me at all if the
feds teamed up with the cartels to police
cities and fight against citizens.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if the cartels
were working for the government and they were
just black operations.
Could be an extension of Operation Fast and Furious.
Yeah, like why did we send them guns what if the real scandal is bring them back over exactly well what right like we wanted to give them guns so we could track them what if the
real scandal is actually they work for the cia and they they provide cover for u.s operations
in mexico yeah it's a yeah it's a whole thing to cover i mean what about the cia and and and crack
epidemic and all that stuff?
Who was that journalist who committed suicide by shooting himself twice in the head when he was uncovering the CIA drug scandal?
I don't remember.
I forget his name.
Someone want to Google it?
The chat will get it, I'm sure.
Yeah, he committed suicide by shooting himself twice in the head.
Impressive.
Classic.
Typical way to go when it's suicide.
And they were like, but look, depending on how you do it, you can survive a shot to the head.
People think it was execution style or whatever, but it's still a crazy story.
What was that guy's name?
The chat I know knows his name.
Someone's going to say his name.
Clank.
No, that's not.
That's a six hex name reference.
Could be.
I don't know.
I can't see the chat right now.
I guess nobody's saying his name. I'll Google it. Now all of a sudden it name reference. Could be. I don't know. I can't see the chair right now. I guess nobody's saying his name.
I'll Google it.
Now it's going to...
All of a sudden it's going to go boom.
David Webb.
Wait, Gary Webb.
There you go.
Yeah, that was it, right?
Gary Webb?
Yep.
There you go.
All right.
Thinker for Life says,
Biden's importing voters to use the Voting Rights Law of 1993 to win.
We must make flyers in Spanish and inform these illegals that all Dems stand for the communism that they flee and child sex changes.
They are not going to vote.
They are going to bolster congressional districts to give themselves more electoral college votes.
They don't need to vote.
We are not a direct democracy.
This is the thing a lot of conservatives make the mistake of.
They're like, they're going to vote. We're not a direct democracy. This is the thing a lot of conservatives make the mistake of. They're like, they're going to vote.
We're not a direct democracy.
They don't need to vote.
They just need to use the census to say there's a million people.
So we need another district and another electoral college vote.
And that's even worse because now these people have no voice at all.
Democrats are bringing in congressional districts where like half the population are second class citizens who can't vote.
That makes sense why they made such a huge stink out of it when Trump tried to revise the census.
Exactly.
When he said citizenship on the thing, they're like, no, no, stop him, stop him.
That's the craziest thing.
Tell me exactly what you're doing without using the words to say exactly what you're doing.
And then that opens the door to we only count citizens towards the congressional apportionment.
Doesn't that seem crazy
that we would only count citizens?
Pando says grandma's
on her deathbed. Uncle trying to come
to US via emergency visa but was denied.
Can't believe it. They just let everyone through the border.
I had a friend
from Ukraine who wanted to come to the United States
and couldn't get a visa.
And she was like, I know though that if I go mexico i can walk right in and they'll let me in
yeah and i'm like it's a weird thing i don't know that's that's how they do it i guess
yep yeah mega mikey says the democrats are trying desperately to invoke a violent right response
why won't republican ags press criminal charges against biden you literally just answered your own question tim filing a criminal charge is not a violent
response what are you what are you saying i don't understand what you're saying yeah it's literally
like biden you're hereby ordered to report to court tomorrow morning and then they're gonna be
like you can't do it he's immune but okay great we agree case dismissed trump's you're immune yep it's over good move right let's go
the sig p says the invasion is china's doing watch tucker's podcast there is no doubt in my
mind that biden isn't actually treasonous and in bed with china i would agree yeah i think not that
there's no doubt in my mind but i think it's a strong likelihood that he's in the pocket of China because of the deals that they were running in the past
and they got dirt.
Yeah.
I've been calling him Joe by Jen for a long time now.
Joe by Jen.
Joe Jin Ping.
Yes, pretty much.
Let's grab some more super jets.
Eric Vegas says,
pensions make you slaves.
The system is perfect.
They lock you in and they can take it away from you and people get scared they don't want to they don't want to speak out
and then they're willing to commit crimes can't risk it yeah the golden handcuffs yeah literally
fat sean says make make i you mean make it the fiduciary responsibility of the corporations
to assist in deportation make it a fifty thousand dollar fine to hire hire them and a five thousand dollar tax credit to turn them in that actually is a bad idea so i watched a
documentary a long time ago about what are these a lot of these companies near the border would do
advertise in mexico come work jobs available they would come in illegally there was like no
bollard fencing at all get hired they come They come to this corporation and say, yeah, I'm from Mexico.
I saw your flyer.
They say, perfect.
Work and then we'll pay you a lot of money.
And then as soon as the pay period ended, they'd call ICE.
They'd be like, how much do I owe you?
A thousand?
Okay, ICE.
I got an illegal immigrant here.
And they'd come and take them and ship them back.
And they wouldn't.
Yeah.
Don't come to this country.
We treat you terribly.
Seriously.
Evil stuff. yeah don't come to this country we treat you terribly seriously evil stuff and it was uh it
was like republicans and coke brothers who wanted to bring in this this cheap labor
next the slayer says yes people with handoff policies lead to a downfall from bad ideologies
but keep in mind that if christians pushed harder we'd have no rock music dnd or video games
it's better to try new logically consistent things than stop when once damning data comes out.
Yo, I don't understand.
Look, being like it's a board game.
Well, we don't like the board game.
We should get rid of it.
Then we fight.
We go, okay, fine.
We'll accept the board game.
It's very different from child sex changes.
You know what I mean?
Like, I will have an argument over someone as to why my
board games allowed if and and accept their capitulation to allow my board game but we
can all agree like the child sex change thing is going too far right way too you know what's crazy
is we were uh we we're in the green room downstairs we'll put on music right before
we're getting ready for the show and stuff and on auto rotation uh i write sins not tragedies came up panic of the
disco they censored the word god and goddamn and that was like mid-2000s on youtube they would not
say goddamn they censored that weak dude and uh magic gathering has a card called unholy strength
had a pentagram on it they removed it because of outrage they were like we don't want our kids
seeing this they said okay so that the new version, the new set, got rid of it.
So I think we actually have one over there.
I think in the case
we have an original Unholy Strength with the
pentagram in it that was removed. It's not really
worth that much, but it is a little bit more valuable.
But hey,
there you go.
Simpler times. Alright.
Alan Shower says, Tim, as a Star Trek The Next Generation
fan, you must know
the outcome of the meta is moriarty interesting uh uh story arc in next generation they uh so the
ai there's an ai that runs everything right you go computer do this and it does and so they have
the holodeck where they could go in and say computer run program simulation and they tell
what to do and then it'll make whatever they want and so they're trying to do like a sherlock holmes and so data is is in there as
sherlock or whatever and so they ask the computer to make a villain that would be difficult for data
to solve but data being like a super intelligent ai that the ai creates a sentient being in the
holodeck who takes the ship over by taking like and it's moriarty the villain
and he's like i'm alive as soon as as soon as as soon as they run the program moriarty in the
program realizes the program realizes it's a program moriarty the character in the program
and then confronts like i think it's picard and he's like what am i and what are you tell me the
truth and they explain and instantly he's like I don't want to be a villain.
This is not who I am.
I want to know what life is and I want to live.
And they're like, whoa.
Wow.
And then in Voyager.
So the problem was he can't leave the holodeck because it's just light projections and he's a program.
But then in Voyager, they created portable holographic projectors.
So the doctor is a hologram.
And he's in a room.
He can't leave that room or he can't leave areas without holographic projectors but then eventually they create mobile projectors he can
wear which create a physical form made of light from a small device i think that was the end of
voyager sci-fi is fun you just make stuff up you remember when they uh did a hologram wolf blitzer
was it wolf blitzer yeah was it wolf blitzer or maybe wolf blitzer was in the room and they hologram someone else in the room it's a great moment and silly yeah silly
justin lied says why haven't you talked about the gavin newsom story the governor of the largest
state in america admitted to going full karen on a target employee i mean it was interesting but i
just don't think it right it like we we load up all these stories. But then if we don't get to, we don't get to it.
So if a story is not big, but basically he was like, they were blaming me for the shoplifting.
And he's like, we've got the 10th toughest law in the country.
Nine hundred and fifty dollars.
He's like, he's like.
And then he said he watched someone just steal stuff.
And he's like, why am I paying for this?
So they can just walk out.
I don't think you understand.
This dude is so detached from reality it's
amazing attached from a reality buddy at the same time the way he speaks he's
trying to be authentic and and it kind of rings it kind of makes him look like
a psychopath mm-hmm perhaps he is I stood next to him he's a psychopath
villainous V says landfill at the border you say sounds like there's climate
change there and the climate activists need to clean up the mess to stop the climate change
that's how we show them what's wrong believe the amount of trash along that wall people
throwing their ids from china or any other country i think trump had it wrong though
when he said he wanted to build a big beautiful wall 30 foot 30 feet tall from sea to shining sea it's a 30 foot trench you got
to build a 30 foot trench okay and fill it with alligators there's water yeah so it's a moat i
don't know about alligators just there you go water for fun for fun though the wall it is beautiful
it looks like a piece of modern art when you see it. What is a humane deterrent we could put at the border
that is not alligators in a moat?
Maybe spoiled milk.
You know, like nobody gets hurt,
but boy, you'd not want to be down there.
There's like a rancher and he's like, this is hell.
Yeah, it's too bad.
Cause like, at least in Arizona where I was,
it's all lettuce farms right there on the wall.
That would be terrible.
What about a 30-foot trench full of rats?
Snakes.
What I was saying is that they should turn the border wall into a 24-7 reality show like Ninja Warrior.
Because at least then it would be entertaining.
We could film it.
We could make money off it.
They have the best times.
Yeah.
What if Mexico was doing that, though?
This is like another country.
It's like, we already filmed this.
It's hilarious.
Okay, here's what we do.
There's two ports of entry next to each other.
One is that you walk up and apply with a piece of paper,
and the other is a Ninja Warrior course
that if you get passed, you're in, baby.
You made it.
No.
That's not enough
of a reason
to let people
into this country
it is amusing though
hey but this is
that's like the best
and the brightest
like that's a good reason
it's the brightest
what are you talking about
that's a skill test
right
you have to have a
that's how we know
we can put them
in the military
yeah right
I feel like you guys
don't understand
culture or loyalty here
watching them like
do the salmon ladder
where it's like you pull a bar.
Look, I love skill.
American Ninja Warrior is great,
but I will emphasize American Ninja Warrior.
I think it's important that we have culture
and loyalty and patriotism.
And I think if you're trying to scale the wall
to break into this country illegally,
you're missing out on the values I appreciate.
Who wants to be an American Ninja Warrior?
Who wants to be?
Hold on.
There you go.
That's good enough.
I got an idea.
It's the right title.
Who wants to be an American Ninja Warrior?
It's a combination of who wants to be a millionaire and an American Ninja Warrior where after
every obstacle, you have to answer a question about the United States.
Whoa.
Hannah Clare, think of the ratings.
And then you have to agree that you will never take part in chain migration.
There has to be a little bit more here. No, we just make that not legal. Yeah, it's not legal. Sure, I'd you have to agree that you will never take part in chain migration like there has to be
a little bit more
no we just make
that not legal
yeah it's me
sure i'd be happy
to do that but
until then
okay can we
produce this
is this a
tin can
who wants to
be an american
major warrior
this is great
ernie your
citizenship in 20
minutes by running
this course and
answering all of the
questions with
increasing difficulty
and then or how about you have to answer the question while doing the course yeah yeah so
you're like on the salmon ladder and you're like the third president with john adams was it no it's
thomas jemison right oh you gotta go back second i don't know man i'm bad at my presidents uh
all right here we go fringe patriot gaming says hey tim this question may be pointless
if we actually head into World War III,
but are you interested in sponsoring
other people with Cast Brew?
If so, what's the best way to contact your team?
We are.
But so far,
I think we only have one person
we're sponsoring just now.
I don't know if we can say it just yet.
I think it's probably obvious who it is.
It's me.
Don't even worry about it, guys.
But once we get all that sorted, maybe. For it's me don't even worry about it guys but uh once we
get all that sorted maybe for now i don't know what we're doing it's it's also too it's also
like if we sponsor somebody we have to make more money than we give them in sponsorships so if
we're like sponsoring someone it's costing us x amount of dollars but we're making x minus one
dollar then you know with like a slight loss,
it might still be worth it just for building brand by having,
you know, sponsorships.
But ultimately, you have to sell more
than you're spending.
Otherwise, you just shut down, you know.
All right.
Joseph Velvet says,
Tim, do you remember the civil response
to the Bundy ranch situation?
Yes, I do.
He says, Texas feels like that again i remember
that we had emin bunny on the show and boy are they trying to destroy that guy's life that's crazy
all right frontline texan says hey tim considering you mentioned we used to be a christian country
would you consider getting doug wilson on the show sometime i don't know he is but no idea maybe
never heard of that yeah maybe uh just build culture war is usually better for long cultural
conversations and arguments and stuff whereas like irl we go through news stories uh let's grab uh
grab one more here i'll be damn says how about a trench with freaking sharks with freaking lasers
on their freaking heads there we go there you go there you go my friends if you have not already
would you kindly smash that like button subscribe to this channel share the show with your friends head over to timcast.com
click join us because this show is made possible thanks in part to viewers like you when you become
a member you get access to all of our member content we got a couple documentaries we're
making more it's just it's expensive and uh the more members we have the more we can do the more
we can hire and we are basically we're at that point so we need to we need to pitch
better i'll tell you the one thing we don't have is the members team which all these other companies
do have where they call people on the phone and say hey i see that you uh canceled your membership
can we convince you to sign back up and what was the reason we don't do any of that because we're
like operating on duct tape over here yeah we're also america first we're not outsourced at the
bangladesh no but like some of these other podcasts they have like two guys in the office
yeah it's true go through the list making phone calls i thought it was funny surge and i'm like
i don't know should we do that maybe perhaps maybe we get more people to sign back up
well because i used to work for non when i used to do the non-profit fundraising
some people would be like you'd call them and they'd say no i'm still a member and they'd be
like uh your payment stopped going through like oh i'm sorry here's my new my new information and then
you're like cool some people don't even realize they're members anymore and some people have like
a card kick them off or whatever but yeah that's what it is the expired card the the worst enemy
of a subscription company yep yep and so maybe that's what we gotta do we gotta just call people
