Starting point is 00:00:00 Tonight, leaked documents released to the nation reveal a coordinated program of domestic counterinsurgency against Antifa. We can't afford real music, so we just got to go. Yeah, apparently this program is called PACT or something. It's a joint effort between federal agencies all over the country. The documents that have been released by the nation come, the nation is, it's like a lefty publication. So they're, they're very serious, like Donald Trump's Gestapo, you know, that kind of, that kind of attitude.
Starting point is 00:00:37 But it does show that there is a coordinated effort since the first, following the signing of Donald Trump's executive order to protect statues and all that stuff to target a far left insurgency. I mean, to be fair, I think the language of domestic counterinsurgency comes from the nation. I think CBP and like ICE and, you know, the marshals were just kind of like general law enforcement. Right. But the left wants to make it really spicy. So they're saying Gestapo and counterinsurgency they call themselves revolutionaries because that's what they're doing i mean day 48 now what's going on in portland but we got some news too apparently
Starting point is 00:01:13 that there was a ton of arrests the other day they really are cracking down hard we could talk a lot about this we got some other stories too we got uh i i'm i'm i'm kind of furious i was. I was getting really triggered earlier. I wanted to just make I wanted to title this episode like F the media full on. But I did tweet about it. I wouldn't have been upset there. There's a story right now where Trump was on Fox News and he was he said to Chris Wallace, who's one of their anchors, one of their journalists, that Biden wants to defund the police. And Wallace goes, no, sir, he does not.
Starting point is 00:01:48 And Trump's like, let's go get it. They couldn't find the evidence in the Bernie Sanders pact. And it's a stupid story anyway, because it's not like it has to be in writing. In fact, it's in an interview. Joe Biden says he does agree with redirecting their funding, which is the literal definition of what they've claimed defund is. So I just debunk this, this man. It is so difficult to understand what's happening in this country because I can pull up like 50 stories, AP false. Joe Biden does not want to defund the police. Then you find another story. It's like true. Joe Biden does want to defund the
Starting point is 00:02:19 police. So we're going to break this down definitively. And we're going to, we're going to, you can just see, it's going to be an excellent media literacy 101 course for everybody who doesn't understand how the media is lying to you. And just before we started the show, Adam was talking about, you know, he's on Facebook trying to explain why he thinks Biden's in the bag for China. And how do you prove it? Because you've got 50 million out of context, deceptive, falsely framed stories. Well, not even not even that. All I said was I this is why I posted about what's going on in China with the with the camps that we're finding out about or that we've known about for a long time.
Starting point is 00:02:56 They've been going on for a long time. There was an article. I forget who I posted it from, but it's talking about how it's been going on for 20 years. And I'm like, this is what's going on in China. Like, I like Trump because he's he's trying to cut out China from our lives and try to bring bring it back here. And Biden wants to cozy up with them. And people, of course, freaked out on that.
Starting point is 00:03:17 And they're like, no, Trump's just saying that. Can you prove it? It's like the Obama administration was spearheading the Trans-Pacific Partnership. OK, I can't read you every page. Right. And mention every country and the goals. They claim their goals were noble. The left wing activists really opposed this. Biden was the vice president at the time. I'd be really willing to bet that he would enter us into a free trade agreement with China, which would incentivize the moving of our factories back to China. It's just that simple. There are a lot more complexities to it.
Starting point is 00:03:45 But anyway, the point is, how are you supposed to explain this to regular people when the media is just, oh man, I'm going to show you this. Because I really want to just, I hate the media, man. Me too. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:03:56 I walk that back a little bit. It's like they're on the ground, sort of, like at a ground level, like they see a statement come out and they just write it and they walk away. Kayleigh McEnany said, the science should not stand in the way. All good here, everybody. That's the quote.
Starting point is 00:04:09 And we're not going to provide any context. The journalists are supposed to help you understand what's happening in the world. Just taking a random string of words from somebody, not explaining what it means is ridiculous. It's not journalism. And it's not only that. It's a whole story that they write from that one sentence. They take that out of it and then they're going all right well what can how much can we elaborate on this it's so much better yeah then
Starting point is 00:04:31 they start pulling the tweets of random resistance democrats on twitter right and they make a here's how everyone reacted to trump saying he hates science yep and then you have a bunch of people being like yo trump's so dumb and And it's like, oh, no. But it'll be fun. It'll be fun. And we got some other stuff, too. We actually have the mainstream media waking up to the fact that woke social justice nonsense is literally racist. I'm glad to see it.
Starting point is 00:04:56 New York mag. Of all people. A guy with raging Trump derangement syndrome is like, hey, wait a minute. That's pretty racist. This woke stuff sounds like literal white supremacy. I'm like, you just figured it out. That's great. I'm glad there's there's some wheels still working in there, buddy. You know, I wonder if it's politically expedient, though, like that what they try and wield this power of the far left to hurt Trump to cause chaos. And then once it gets close to the election, they go, oh, oh, now we understand
Starting point is 00:05:24 why it's bad now that it's hurting us. That's what I said. As soon as it starts hitting the elites, they're going to change their mind. Well, these are the liberal elites. They're signing this Harper's Harper's letter like, oh, no, don't cancel me. No, but I think they're hoping that Joe Biden gets elected and then they can get rid of the far left. That's what I was saying. They're trying to wield that power, thinking they can control it, and they can't.
Starting point is 00:05:46 So they're going to try and cast into the fires of Mount Doom. Biden's speech about bring back better or something. Buy America. Is that what he said? I don't know. It's basically like he's trying to cater to the Trump fans. And everyone's just like, who are you talking to right now? It's embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:06:01 This face right here. This is the face of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. He's like the second in command for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. No, this guy's not going to buy American. He's going to get in and be like, look, fat, we got to have more factories in China. Your job, China. Oh, what? Which one?
Starting point is 00:06:17 Oh, I moved it. His. You're a lying dog-faced pony soldier. I wanted to say it to you. Oh, you did. I would have pressed that button. We got to get ahead. If I had the ability to press, I don't have my soundboard yet. Forget it. I'll to say it to you. Oh, you did. I would have pressed that button. If I had the ability
Starting point is 00:06:26 to press... I don't have my soundboard yet. I'll have my soundboard soon. It's going to be fun. Ladies and gentlemen, it is imperative that you heed these words. Smash the like button. You better smash that like button. Smash it. Smash it. I took a break today, actually.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Well, I didn't. I took a two-hour break. A two-hour break? That was my break. Well, we didn't go skating today, actually. Well, I took a two-hour break. A two-hour break? That was my break. Well, we didn't go skating today, and I was like, I'm just going to go for a drive. It's muggy. I'm going to go for a drive and listen to some music. Oh, is that what you did?
Starting point is 00:06:54 We were like, Adam's gone. I just went for a drive. I just had to run away. I was just like, yeah, this is nice. Not thinking. Oh, man. But it was good. It felt good.
Starting point is 00:07:04 I got myself some nice whiskey, actually. Not thinking. Oh, man. But it was good. It felt good. I got myself some nice whiskey, actually. Quality whiskey. I had to drive quite far for it. Really? This is the Ron Swanson of whiskey. It's the Ron Swanson of whiskey. What is it? Lagavulin.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Huh. This is... No idea. Those who watch Parks and Rec will know what that is. I haven't tried it yet. I've never tried it, but I popped it open, took a smell. Wow, it smells good. It's very up my alley.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I'm very excited to try that later on tonight before we jam. Yes, that's right. We're going to make sure you subscribe. Hit the notification bell. Hit that like button. Get in your super chats if you'd like. We try to read as many as we can, but we certainly can't read everybody. But after the show tonight, so around 10, we're going to jam out.
Starting point is 00:07:46 It's Friday night, so we're all still kind of, sort of locked down, and they're probably going to lock it down again. You can't go anywhere, so you might as well just sit here and listen to us play music after the show. Yeah, so we're here to provide more entertainment after the news.
Starting point is 00:08:02 After the depression. After the depression. Our show is the Great Depression. Let's read this story. Now we're smashing through the Great Depression. Check this out. We got this story from The Nation. Border patrol responsible for Portland arrest. An internal memo obtained exclusively by The Nation details a coordinated program of domestic counterinsurgency. Man, that sounds cool.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Yeah. That sounds so cool. They nailed that. Let me decontextualize that. Or recontextualize it. Federal officers are going to arrest whiny, progressive, upper-middle-class kids that are throwing bricks at federal buildings and trying to light it on fire.
Starting point is 00:08:45 I think the reason they write it that way, and I'm more than happy to use the language, is because it sounds fun and exciting. Now, granted, these guys are nuts. They're trying to bash people over the head with hammers. So, yeah, I think it's fair to say. I think what's interesting about the framing of it is that it's positive for the federal law enforcement. To literally call Antifa insurgency justifies what the feds are doing.
Starting point is 00:09:06 That's a good point. Yeah, it's kind of interesting. Yeah. Let's read a little bit and I'll just show you the straight documents. But more importantly, look at this image. This is cool. It's like, what is this? Is that an actual photo?
Starting point is 00:09:15 I mean, what I see before we even get into it, reading that title, you know what I think most people are thinking? Cool. Finally. Yes. Awesome. End it, please. Stop this. you know what what i think most people are thinking cool finally yes awesome end it please stop this it's a it's a massive pr weapon for them they are milking this to the most absurd degree it's exactly the trap that was described and now we're seeing all the democrats from mayors senators all the resistance people like dude these videos out of portland yeah probably have a collective 15 plus
Starting point is 00:09:45 million views yeah it's going it's going crazy it's reaching which side though of antifa destroying antifa being the good guys being the good guy exactly being victimized impressed pushing that out yeah that's that's that's bad that's very very bad for for trump and law enforcement because they're going to use this and so a lot of people have said, like, what should the feds do? Should they back off? Tough call. But you know, you know, you know, I'm going to say if the feds keep cleaning up the mess for these Democrat city mayors, then these people in the cities will keep voting for them. That's a good point. It's like when you have a kid having a temper tantrum and the parent just keeps giving them whatever they want, the kid's never going to stop.
Starting point is 00:10:22 So these people come out, they destroy the city. They start romping about starting fires, tearing down statues. And the Portland government goes, we're out. Yep. It's all you. Bye. And then what happens? The federal law enforcement says, okay, I guess we're gonna have to arrest these guys. Occupying army. Let's read a little bit. The nation writes. So mind you, the nation is very left biased, very important to understand, but they're the only one. So mind you, the nation is very left biased. Very important to understand. But they're the only one. This is their exclusive document release. So let's see how they frame things.
Starting point is 00:10:51 They say, for days, federal agents in unmarked cars have reportedly been snatching Portland protesters off the streets. That's right. Snatching Portland protesters. OK, let me. Already. Already. We just got to fix it.
Starting point is 00:11:03 OK, they're detaining rioters. Right. I'm not fix it. They're detaining rioters. I'm not trying to be biased against anybody. They're literally people wearing masks and helmets, throwing things at cops. And trying to light fires. Literally lighting fires. Yeah, yeah. No, they are lighting fires. Right. Exactly. Protesters.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Oh, man. But I'm telling you, man, when these videos go viral and you don't see any of that, and you just see a dude putting his hands up and they're like, look at these peaceful protesters being being, you know, black bagged by unmarked Gestapo. Regular people see them like, whoa, because they don't know what happened. Right. I got some crazy for you guys, though. We got we got to talk about this. some people. So here's the context, right? They mentioned that the federal agents are, you know, snatching up these protesters because a video went viral, a couple of them, where a van pulls up, some guys jump out and they're wearing like DHS patches and police, but they're in like full camo. And they walk up and a guy put his hand up, hands up. And this woman's like, use your words, use your words. The feds grabbed the guy, bring him in the van,
Starting point is 00:12:02 take him away. According to one of these stories, one of these guys, it might be the same guy, not sure, was questioned for about an hour and a half before he was released. I didn't realize this. I should have realized this. It's my fault. A lot of people are saying they were snatching up an informant. That's why they weren't actually arrested. During Occupy Wall Street, there was somebody that most people, I would say,
Starting point is 00:12:26 bordering on almost confirmed, there was somebody that everybody was like, we have reason to believe this person is a confidential informant for the police. Okay. For a variety of reasons. I'm going to keep it private because I don't want anybody to, you know, bring this person up. But I remember one time when I was at Occupy, I was getting off a train a few blocks away and I watched, I saw the dude standing on the corner and then the squad car next to him, two guys, two cops just grabbed him and he's like, no, no, what, what? And they arrested him. And I was like, whoa, I just watched this dude get arrested for what? So I go to the park and I'm like, yo,
Starting point is 00:12:58 I just saw this guy get arrested. And they're like, yeah, so did we. And I was like, you did? Because I was just three blocks away. No, right here. Wait a minute. And so what apparently happened was they arrested him. They arrested him. In front of everybody. In front of everybody. And then when they were dropping, like, they drove him around, asked him, like, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:13:19 What are you doing? And when they were going to drop him off is when I walked up and I was like, hey. And then they grabbed him again, like, he recognized him and so apparently after the fact people were like hey we heard you got arrested yeah i was no no we heard you got arrested twice in like 20 minutes no i'm not talking about so when this story comes out where you see a guy walking in the street and the cops jump out and carry him to the car and he's like whoa whoa oh no oh no they got me it's a good point that that way they can bring him in and he can say all right here's what they're doing here's what they said here's what i heard from these people and they're
Starting point is 00:13:51 like all right man good job buddy good you know good job officer officer so and so yep and then he's like i'm gonna go back out there we'll just you know you guys detained me i'll complain your words we love you so that that could be. It could be a plant. It could be, you know, informant. Keep that in mind. We don't know for sure, though. But this kind of distrust among these far leftists is, it runs deep. The reason these rumors are popping up
Starting point is 00:14:14 is because they're the ones probably saying it. Why weren't you charged with any crimes? Why were you brought in and cut loose? All of us got arrested, and the cops know this, and they could pull people in specifically for this reason, sowing distrust. Well, I don't know. At the same time, we got all of us got arrested and the cops know this and they could pull people in specifically for this reason sowing distrust well i don't know at the same time we got the you know the guy who punched the police chief in new york city and was released with no bail i know you can go i think
Starting point is 00:14:35 that's bail reform all right that's so insane dude i know the guy in the face like what i i don't understand i don't get it hey 2020, 2020 has been fun, huh? Yeah. Well, check this out. Let me just pull up the actual documents. So these are apparently leaked to the nation. And I got to admit, upon looking at them, it's quite boring. It does not paint this picture of an action movie counterinsurgency. It's literally them being like, Donald Trump has signed an executive order to protect statues and federal facilities will be will be deploying law enforcement to protect federal facilities right it's literally like exactly as he said but but not even that it's like police officers go police there you go yeah and they're like trump has launched a counterinsurgency and
Starting point is 00:15:22 like they they really view themselves as insurrectionists, like, revolutionaries. Remember, they're the resistance. I know. That makes sense. That's so cringy. I'm so deeply offended by them calling themselves the resistance. Yeah. Like this, you know, 50-year-old, 5'4", fat, balding dude who thinks he's a resistance warrior because he sits on the computer and complains about Trump all day.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. In his air conditioning basement. The dudes that were, like, planting bombs to take out Nazis were the resistance. You're some dude sitting in his room complaining the orange man is bad again. Yep. Or posting about this. Check this out. Public Affairs Guidance.
Starting point is 00:15:56 CBP support to protect federal facilities and property. They say on June 26th, the president issued an executive order protecting American monuments, memorials, and statues and combating recent criminal activity. In this order, the president directed that DHS shall provide as appropriate and consistent with applicable law personnel to assist with the protection of federal monuments, memorials, statues, or property. In furtherance of that directive, the acting Secretary of Homeland Security has formalized the DHS Protecting American Communities Task Force, PACT, to provide an ongoing assessment
Starting point is 00:16:29 of potential civil unrest and property destruction and to address internal resource allocation and potential surge activity to ensure the continuing protection of people and property. Additionally, with the consent of other departments and agencies, DHS has determined that it is in the public interest and fiscally sound for the Federal Protective Service to partner with other federal law enforcement to execute the direction of the president. To that end, DHS began coordination with the Department of Justice and the Department of the Interior to establish information intelligence sharing and resource coordination as outlined in the order. CBP will be supporting this effort by deploying personnel to provide support over the July 4th holiday weekend, which has the potential for increased disruptive activity at specific locations across the country that could threaten our personnel and the federal facilities and property they protect. That's basically it. And then it names, you know, the executive order and their statements and what they're going to do and some questions.
Starting point is 00:17:24 What is CBP's role? Blah, blah, blah. It feels like standard procedure. Right. So some documents got released saying, hey, we're going to enforce the law. We're going to talk to people and go out and make sure people aren't breaking stuff.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Oh my gosh, Tim. It's the end of the world as we know it. But I'm loving the propaganda stuff they're pumping out totally there's like a thread that's got 10 000 retweets and it's this like white progressive you know uh you know far-left activist claiming that it is it is a really colorful depiction of of portland okay and i admit, this thread, it sounds awesome. It sounds great. It makes it seem like Portland has escaped from LA or escaped from New York.
Starting point is 00:18:12 They're like, for the past four weeks, Trump's federal army has been storming the streets, snatching people up and blackbagging them, barricading parks, taking over buildings. It is a nightmare here. You have no idea. They're gassing civilians. And it's like, wow. It really sounds like you're watching some crazy, you know, you're going to go to Portland and it's a bunch of whiny 20-somethings who are like, F the police, man.
Starting point is 00:18:40 You're so dumb. You don't even do anything. And then the cops just like, you know. I mean, it's a riot. So people are throwing bricks, starting fires. Cops are firing tear gas and all that stuff. But it's just, man, it's not a revolution. You want to see insurrection?
Starting point is 00:18:57 You want to see like, look, I'll give it to these kids. I say kids, but some of these people are pretty old. So I'll give it to them that they certainly got anger and conviction. You know, they're going to go out and do their thing. I can respect the demands, but I think they're insane regardless. But you want to watch real, you know, like real, like watch the Ukraine stuff from the Euromaidan. I don't even know what you'd call it.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Protest. It wasn't a riot because they had barricades. They had built massive walls defending. It was like civil war almost. I guess they called it, I don't know what you'd call it. I have no idea how you'd describe it. But in this area, there's one video where like a government APC comes up to the wall. And then you just see like dozens of Molotovs just in the seconds just pelting like from all over the place.
Starting point is 00:19:47 And the whole thing is just engulfed in flames that's nuts yeah these videos are a bunch of kids going use your words use your words we love you you're violating his rights yeah we love you we love you we'll defend you we will get we'll get you out oh man but it is 48 days of just like low-tier violence. And I think, to be fair, I think there's a reason why they're not doing like what we see in Ukraine or whatever. Where they just throw 50 miles of cocktails at once. It's because they don't want to be on the news. Yep. Well, and you even said you were talking to a friend of yours and they were like, yeah, well, the rioting ended like a month ago.
Starting point is 00:20:24 It's like, do you know what's going on in Portland right now? Georgia? Yeah, Georgia. Two national emergencies declared in the past week and a half. Yeah, it's... Chicago? You know what's going on in Chicago? You know what's going on in New York?
Starting point is 00:20:36 It's like, no. People are stealing bread, I hear, from AOC. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so somebody superchatted us the other day from, I think it's Don't Walk, Run Productions, did a video about AOC's claim that the reason crime is going up is because people are maybe stealing bread. And I don't know the host's name, but he was like, how much bread does AOC think is being stolen right now? Like, crime is up 130-something percent. Did you hear what de Blasio said? What did he say? He said, for the first time since World War II, we've had the lowest amount of inmates in our prisons.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Yeah, I know where they are. And then he stood there like this. It's like that meme where it's like... Are you kidding me? You let them all out. They're out there shooting everybody. But wait, wait. This reminds me of that meme where it's like... There's like a Twitter account called Obvious Fax something.
Starting point is 00:21:27 And it was like you can get rid of all criminals by making all crime legal. Right. Like, yeah. If there's no crime on the books, there's literally. So, yes. We have less inmates than we ever have because you let them all go without finishing their sentences. And now you've got, I think it's like 13% to 15% are recommitting. It's like hundreds of people have committed crimes.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Crazy. And AOC, this is the funniest thing. She's like, maybe it's because they're scared to pay their rent. And they're hungry and are stealing bread or something. And Don't Walk Run Productions points out. She's so clueless. They point out that petty larceny is down like 23%. Not only is that not what's happening, but nobody's even stealing these
Starting point is 00:22:08 things. Right. Like the crime is gone. It's the murders and the shootings. Yeah. I love that. I love that she thinks that's like some guy walks out and he goes, hey, look, there's a guy with his daughter.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I need bread. Bang. I need to go get bread. And then he walks away. Like, does he frisk the guy looking for bread? He's like, walk up to the dude on the ground. Be like, let me see. Where's that bread at? Oh, there's no bread. Oh, how am I going to go get bread. And then he walks away. Does he frisk the guy looking for bread? Does he walk up to the dude on the ground and be like, let me see where's that bread at? Oh, there's no bread. Oh, how am I going to go get a loaf of bread?
Starting point is 00:22:30 Yeah, that video upsets me. But I think that really does show that these people have no idea what's going on in their own jurisdictions. No, they're clueless. AOC is clearly clueless. Now she's fighting for taxing the rich. Tax the billionaires. And Cuomo's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They'll leave town. You realize, right? They'll go to a different city and we won't get their tax money at all.
Starting point is 00:22:53 He said, what did he say? God help us if the if the wealthy leave. Right. Well, they're leaving. Surprise, surprise. You're going to love this. There's a documentary about this from a long time ago about how Donald Trump saved New York City by creating a desire for luxury inhabitants. So in the 80s – and I could be totally wrong because I just watched – I remember one night I was just like half glazed over sitting on the couch and it was on in the background. That's my extent of this knowledge. But they talked about how in the 80s New York was collapsing. The crime was skyrocketing.
Starting point is 00:23:25 The tax base was eroding. Nobody wanted to live there. So Trump basically came in and said, give me a massive tax break. Make it worth my while. They fought him on that too. Yeah. And then he was like, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:23:35 He's like, but give me a tax break. I'll bring some buildings. I'll get rich people to live here. Your tax base will skyrocket. That's the Trump Tower right there. And then there's multiple. You've got the Trump Tower on 5th. Well, that was the start.
Starting point is 00:23:47 That was the beginning. How many are there? Are there three or are there more? Oh, man. I mean, how many that he built or that have the name Trump on them? Well, you've got the Trump International Hotel at Columbus Circle. You've got Trump on 5th Avenue and you've got Trump at the UN. So I don't know what the Trump at the 5th Avenue one is like the ice cream shop in it.
Starting point is 00:24:04 That's the famous one where he comes down the escalator. I actually know I hung out once with a couple of people who live across the street from the UN at the other Trump luxury building or whatever. And then there's the yeah. And then there's the Trump International Hotel. But his strategy was make it like desirable. Yeah. All the rich people want to be there. You want to be cool, man. You want to be like Trump. You have that people want to be there you want to be cool man you want to be like trump you want that golden toilet you got to come to new york and it worked yep that did well that's that and that's what i saw from this documentary that was running in the background while i was like eating ice cream or something i have no idea but you you i don't know if you've
Starting point is 00:24:35 come across that stuff because you've been reading a lot about it well yeah that's why yeah that was the uh the beginning like he they fought him for a while um uh mayor i think it was mayor cock coach coach how do you say his name i don't know what coach coach yeah yeah they were fighting they were fighting for a while about it and uh trump eventually won and then built the building but then of course filled it out like yeah people were like lining up yep he sold one for like 10 million dollars one one building but it's like those taxes all went into the city. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:25:08 And it's like people don't realize the amount of like the ripple effect that just that one building had for the taxes of the city. There's a from I think it's the American Enterprise Institute. They did a graph showing the net income per income bracket. Okay. And most people receive benefits. Most people don't pay in. Yeah. It's basically the top 10%.
Starting point is 00:25:32 And then, no, I think it's the top 20% is where you actually get a net benefit to the government. The top 1% covers the overwhelming majority of all taxes. Something like that. You have to look up the hard numbers. But basically, during Occupy Wall Street, there was the We Are the 99 percent movement, where people would take pictures saying, like, you know, I went to school and now I got $100,000 in debt and I can't pay it all because I work at McDonald's. I am the 99 percent.
Starting point is 00:25:59 But then something happened on the other side where people started writing, I think it's the 47 percent of Americans who actually pay taxes. Right taxes right yeah and so according to this graph i saw from american enterprise institute basically everybody pays taxes right but what people don't realize and this is a serious problem for us is that if you're making like 40k a year and you pay you know 23 or whatever in taxes you're probably receiving more benefit in terms of all the infrastructure, the entirety of public services. You're probably receiving more than you're paying in. And then you have the rich people, which are paying a ridiculous amount.
Starting point is 00:26:35 And that's exactly why Trump wanted to bring people into New York. It's exactly why Andrew Cuomo said something like, I think he said, God help us if the wealthy leave. And now they're starting to leave. I pulled all this stuff up. I did a segment on it where I was like, Cuomo's worst nightmare is here. Following COVID, the wealthy people are fleeing. Oh man, she lit that city on fire. This is not a joke, man. Amazon was going to build a second headquarters in Queens. 25 to 40,000 jobs. Dang. Do you have any idea how the tax base works i'm saying this aoc not to you right like that one person who gets hired by uh by amazon they get paid 100k a year whatever
Starting point is 00:27:15 just let's we'll just say 100k because it's amazon job amazon's got to pay employment tax then that that that resident has to play pay taxes then they rent a building they pay taxes then they start paying into the metro system to get around. Then they start buying goods, sales taxes. That one person generates a massive amount of taxes because it's not just your paycheck. When I have a dollar, if I give it to you and you pay taxes on it, now you have 80 cents. Then you give me 80 cents. Then I pay tax on it.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Now I've got 70 cents. Back and forth. Uncle Sam keeps taking a little bit. In this instance, Uncle Cuomo keeps taking a little bit of cash. So when you have 25,000 to 40,000, let's say it was in the high end, man, that was money that city needed desperately because the MTAs is facing a $4 billion shortfall. Those trains are going to stop working. They were going to shut down the L train. For those that don't live in New York,
Starting point is 00:28:07 the hot hipster neighborhood, Williamsburg. There's one train to get in there from Manhattan. The L. Bed Bushwick. Yeah. Eastern Williamsburg. Well, they just kept changing the names. So basically, Williamsburg was the hot neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:28:20 In order to convince people to move to crummier neighborhoods surrounding it, they would call it like East and Southeast Williamsburg. Right. Just like change the name of the neighborhood because people want to live there that's bedstuy right yeah yeah yeah sorry but so so here's here's what happens the l train was falling apart so they announced they were going to suspend service and then i think that was years ago like it was supposed to have been shut down i don't know what they're doing yeah it was vastly approaching before i left town. I mean, I skated most places. I would skate everywhere. So I didn't take the train that often
Starting point is 00:28:48 unless I needed to get somewhere quickly and it was like dumping outside or whatever. I would then take the train. The L train. But the L train was supposed to shut down because it really, really needed some repair. It kept breaking. It kept breaking. And then so they were going to shut it down for months. No, like a year or something. Oh yeah. Yeah. Maybe, maybe even a year. I don't know exactly. So my, so my understanding of what happened just as a, as someone who lived nearby, not, you know, following the news that much was that property value just tanked. Every, everybody was investing in this neighborhood thinking like it's up and coming. It's super hot and hipster. The L train was basically one stop from Williamsburg into Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:29:24 It just brought you under the water. When they announced they're going to shut it down, all of the real estate, you know, owners, investors were like, no, like, oh man, we're going to lose everything. Yeah. Because no one's going to want to live stuck in this little peninsula you can't get out. So anyway, long story short, they ended up suspending the timeframe and moving it, whatever. This is why the Amazon deal was so important, bringing these jobs in. And AOC, she leads these protests. She went down to the financial district and she was like, Amazon got to pay their fair share. And there's this really cringe video
Starting point is 00:29:55 where she walks up to the camera, like she's walking out of a meeting. And then someone asks her like, Ocasio-Cortez, what about Amazon? And she goes, can you believe they were going to give Amazon $3 billion? And then everyone was like, dude, it was a discount. They weren't giving money. So basically, if Dunkin' Donuts said $2 off a dozen donuts, she'd be like, I can't believe they're going to give people $2. No, no, no, no, no. You have to buy the donuts and they're just a little cheaper than normally see how that works cyber cyber reset just uh sent it's a little super chat said aoc is the
Starting point is 00:30:30 new uh mary antoinette oh geez and it's so accurate like what you just said like well just give them some give them some bread then yeah that's basically what she's saying why don't they just eat some bread well if they just want bread why don't you just hook them up with some bread then? Why not? Well, so she chased out Amazon and then started saying, I don't even represent that district. Why is everyone blaming me? And people were like, dude, you were like the lead speaker at the protests to kick them out. Because you have a following and people think they know what you're talking about aoc that's why she kept she was tweeting about it and she was speaking about it
Starting point is 00:31:09 and she was wrong about it and cuomo was was livid and local democrats were livid and she still won her primary how about that that that blew my mind so now you've chased out amazon here's the best part oh i love it so amazon announces they're gonna open a marketing office okay which has like a thousand employees and she takes a picture of herself in her lobby smiling like and then she got him and then she tweets like when you're proven right amazon comes back anyway and then all of these dumb lefties are all high-fiving each other going like yeah you know and everyone's like first of all that is 1 000 employees not 25, first of all, that is 1,000 employees, not 25,000. Second of all, they were going to open that office anyway. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:48 It's a different office. Marketing. Those jobs were already going to be there, but we just lost all these other jobs. Thanks, AOC. To go back a little bit to what's going on in Portland, this is why I do not like the feds cleaning up the mess for these Democratic mayors and governors and whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:06 They just reelected AOC in the primary. I swear, if she's going to win, the general, then New York City deserves it. They're asking for it. And Trump says he's not going to give them money. Good. Good. Listen, here's the way I see it. If the people of Portland will not indict, they refuse to return indictments on these
Starting point is 00:32:26 rioters. They clearly want it. Yeah, it's true. And if the mayor says, we like our city burning down, well, okay, then the feds can go into the courthouse and defend the courthouse. And then Antifa can go around running around destroying whatever and give the cities what they ask for. The problem is if you, like you're a parent, if you keep cleaning up the messes for your kids, they never learn. And then what ends
Starting point is 00:32:53 up happening is the more the federal government steps in to clean up the mess for these people, the more they keep electing them and it gets worse. Then their senators get elected and their Congress people get elected and they go to the federal government, and they bring that mess with them. What I think would be appropriate is if they don't want to indict people and they want riders running around, oh, well, it's the Portland cops' job to deal with that, not the feds. Yep, I agree. So the feds should guard the courthouse and just let the rioters do their thing. But someone mentioned this, that the people of Portland, they don't really care about what happens downtown because they don't live there.
Starting point is 00:33:34 So this is the perfect opportunity for the left to start filming feds acting a fool. I mean, from their perspective, like, aha, look, look what they're doing. And regular people aren't there and they won't realize. So it's a perfect propaganda opportunity. Anyway, long story short, man, you get you get what you vote for, you know, and Portland didn't vote for Trump. So why should why should Trump's pact be cleaning up their messes? I don't have an answer for that. I shouldn't. But there's another big problem in this world today that contributes to this nightmare. And that is fake news.
Starting point is 00:34:09 My friends, I must show you the fakest of fake news. I'm going to explain to you something I've probably explained a lot. Break it down, Tim. Why it is people in this country have no idea what's going on and why their brains are broken. Boom. So a good example. Actually, let me give you the full context. First, Daily Mail says, quote, Let's go. Donald Trump furiously orders aides to provide proof to Fox News as Chris Wallace that Joe Biden wants to defund the police and his staff can't provide any. First and foremost,
Starting point is 00:34:41 they frame the story as though it is not true. Let me just tell you, Trump was right. Joe Biden does, based on the common understanding of what defund means, Joe Biden does want to defund the police by his own admission, his own words. Yes, absolutely. We'll get to that. But what you need to understand about why this story is so annoying is when Adam talks about he's trying to convince people on Facebook or not even necessarily convince people, just explaining people like, yo, you know, here's a story that's really important about why, you know, I want to vote for Trump. And then you get a bunch of people saying, like, I don't believe you. You know, well, how dare you? You vote for someone that is a bigot. And it was like, that has nothing to do with what I just presented you.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Like, look at what I just said, read the article that I'm presenting, and you're just, you're coming at me with something different. Well, here's the best example. Earlier today, you posted something about Joe Biden will get back in bed with China. Right, yeah. And then someone was like, you're only saying that because Trump just said it's not true, blah, blah, blah. And the difficult thing is you can pull up 50 billion articles that will make it seem like Joe Biden is all about America.
Starting point is 00:35:56 But when you actually dig in and look at the framing, you realize it's just lazy journalism. Yeah. And then they actually, some of them have messaged me privately. Here's all this. Here's all the articles that I was talking to you journalism. Yeah. And then they actually, some of them have messaged me privately. Here's all the articles that I was talking to you about. Yep. And I read them all. 80% of them, Trump allegedly did this.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Trump allegedly did this. Trump allegedly did this. And I'm like, oh, I'm sick of this allegedly stuff. It's like, give me the exact stuff because everything I'm reading, I look into and it didn't actually happen. So it's them saying whatever, whatever.
Starting point is 00:36:29 We'll come back to this. Go ahead. But I want to make sure everybody who's watching this gets an understanding of how the media is broken. I bring you now to the Daily Mail. You see, I read you this headline. Trump furiously says, you know, I want proof, but he can't provide any. Oh, no, Trump. Oh, oh, no. Look at this. Trump claims Joe Biden wants to defund police in upcoming Fox News interview. Now we have this one from the Hill. Fox host Chris Wallace fact checks Trump claim Biden wants to defund the police. Now they're all a bit more neutral on this, but the reality is Joe Biden absolutely does. And I have for you the interview where he literally says yes. Let me
Starting point is 00:37:06 see if well, let's let's let's play it. Hopefully the sound works. Surplus military equipment for law enforcement. They don't need that. The last thing you need is an up armored Humvee coming into a neighborhood. It's like the military invading. They don't know anybody. They become the enemy. They're supposed to be protecting these people. So my generic point is that we agree that we can redirect some of the funding. Yes, absolutely. One of the things that. OK, well, from now this. Yes, absolutely. Cut police funds. They've become the enemy. First, let me call out the Trump war room. He didn't say cut funding to the police. He said redirect some of the funding. And Joe Biden said, yes, absolutely. Now I bring you to the New York Post story. In this interview, Chris Wallace is
Starting point is 00:37:52 like, he's talking to Joe, he's talking to Donald Trump. And Trump says, well, look, Joe Biden wants to defund the police. And Wallace goes, no, sir, he does not. And Trump's like, yes, he does. He just did this, this pact with Bernie Sanders Sanders and he goes, let's go. And he calls his aides and his aides can't find anything specifically in this document with Bernie that says defund, but it does talk about like reallocation. More importantly, however, the New York Post does bring up this at the bottom. They say the Bernie Sanders unity agenda does not use the term defund, but calls for policies that will reorient our public safety approach toward prevention and away from over policing. Biden orally committed last week to steering funds away from the police.
Starting point is 00:38:33 An interviewer asked the former vice president, but do we agree that we can redirect some of the police funding? Yes, absolutely. Now I know right away. Chris Wallace is probably saying, well, redirecting funds does not mean defund or abolish. And I'm sure all of the lefties are going to be like, no, you see Biden. Someone tweeted this to me. Biden was talking about moving funding from like one department to another. No, he literally said redirect police funding. Okay. You want to make, you want to make
Starting point is 00:38:59 an assumption about what it means. Feel free to do so. I'm not going to do that. I'm going to show you what they literally mean. According to the Brookings Institute, defund the police means reallocating or redirecting funding away from the police department to other government agencies funded by the local municipality. That's it. Boom. It's that simple. It's that simple.
Starting point is 00:39:17 So now you have all these people running around. You see stories like this. AP, Joe Biden did not call for defunding the police. Hold on a minute. If the definition that they gave, okay, in numerous instances, because look, I'm choosing these select sources, right? Right. There's 50 billion sources that say defund means literally defund.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Check this one out. Yes, we mean literally abolish the police. That's helpful. Okay, man. So I'll tell you what. If Joe Biden doesn't know what he's talking about, you do not have the right to claim you can read his mind and knew what he really meant. What they're doing in the media is they're using whatever definition is is, you know, going to get them the most points. Yep. So when when they first said defund the police
Starting point is 00:39:59 and it shocked the minds of America, when they were like, whoa, defund the police, almost like I believe something like 80% or so say no to this. They don't want to see a reduction in police funding. But a lot of people thought it meant remove all funding from police. All of a sudden, we heard a split. A bunch of people said, no, no, no, no, no. It just means like demilitarize. Like Joe Biden was saying, they got big tanks.
Starting point is 00:40:24 They don't need that become the enemy. Yes. He's taking the democratic party's approach that the police departments should have a little bit less funding because they got too much big, big, you know, APCs and weapons and stuff. That is literally one of the definitions of defund the police. Yep. According to the other definitions, it means literally abolish, but based on what Joe Biden said, it does fit what they're claiming. And now the AP says this. During claim, during an interview with activist A.D. Barkin, Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden gave his full support to defunding the police in the United States. AP's assessment, false. Biden said he supports redirecting some police funding to
Starting point is 00:41:02 address mental health or to change the prison system. I'm sorry. What did the Brookings Institute say? So who's right? This is why no one has any idea what's really happening in this country. I have an answer. I have an answer. Trump is. Exactly. Trump is right. He is. He was correct. Yep. So this is the problem. When Trump says Hillary Clinton acid washed her server and then NBC says Hillary Clinton actually didn't use a corrosive substance on her computer. That would be ridiculous. Or then when Trump's having a candid interview with Chris Wallace, he doesn't have these sources pulled up in front of him. I'll tell you what, Donald Trump, I'm going to assume you're listening. You better be. Of course. Or Trump Jr. Kayleigh McEnany needs to be standing next to you for all of these interviews. 100%. You know why? Because she got that binder with all those tabs. And Chris Wallace would be
Starting point is 00:41:49 like, no, sir. Joe Biden does not want to. Up, up, up, up, Kayleigh. And she'd go, I have it right here, actually. He said, we would. Yes, absolutely. When asked if we would reallocate. And then Chris Wallace will go, well, reallocating is up, up, up, up, up, Kayleigh. And then she'd go, yes, actually, right here in this source this source this source in this source they all defined defunding as reallocating funds so yes joe biden agrees with that and then it would be over yep he knew kaylee mcennany you got just got you got to bring her you just have her she's the press secretary yep she should be just standing right after this then when trump wants to call his aides over and they read through the the biden bernie pact and they don't know what's in
Starting point is 00:42:25 it or where Joe Biden said he wants to reallocate some of this funding, I'm pretty sure Kelly McEnany has all the answers. Yep, she does. She's a beast. That photo, you saw that? You've seen that photo? I wonder if people are watching. Yeah, her binder's got all these tabs of like all these different stories. It's so legit. And I love it. She'll get asked some stupid question and she'll go, I'm glad you asked. And then she'll pull the tab and then she'll go, ah, here we are. It's amazing. Oh, yeah. That example. Well, what about this example? This example, this example and this example. Next. And now, yes, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to I would like to slam dunk the last portion of this segment. Oh, slam it, babe. Come on.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Does Joe Biden want to defund the police? Well, as we've broken down for you, the answer is a technical yes. I mean, he said he wants to reallocate funding. That's at least one of the basic definitions. So I think we can say, although there are many people of different perspectives, he at least fits one of them. But how about this? Biden campaign staffer mocked cops as worse than pigs and called for defunding the police. I understand it's not Biden directly, but come on, man. It's Biden's. It's a campaign staffer. So maybe he doesn't know her, but this is a part of his campaign. Same as Bernie Sanders when he had those people exposed by Veritas. Okay. This is what this person, Sarah Pearl, tweeted.
Starting point is 00:43:51 It's an image. It says, please stop calling cops pigs. Pigs are highly intelligent and empathetic animals who would never racially profile you. I have a question. And then there's hearts next to a pig face. I wonder if she's vegan. I bet she eats bacon. I don't know. Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised. I bet she eats bacon. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised if they're all vegans. I don't know. Who knows? After what they were demanding from the Chaz. We demand seitan. No, that was in Portland, I think. That was the original pre-Chaz.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Pre-Chaz. We demand vegan food. I told you about when... I told you... Portland? I told you the sad story of the wasted vegan pizza at Occupy. Yeah. You told me about it.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Yeah. Just this tastes weird. Someone's trying to poison it. Well, it looked weird. Oh, and nobody knew what it was. Yeah. So at Occupy, a bunch of pizzas got delivered and people opened it. Notice that on one pizza looked normal.
Starting point is 00:44:37 And the other one, the cheese looked like it wasn't all the way melted. Right. Exactly. And so people were like, I don't know. This looks weird. And someone tried it. And so people were like, I don't know, this looks weird. And someone tried it. It doesn't taste like regular pizza. And they were like, we don't we better not eat it. And they just dumped it. Such a shame. Yeah, it was vegan pizza. Yeah. And the regular pizza was fine. The vegan pizza probably way healthier. Probably. But so
Starting point is 00:44:59 anyway, look, no doubt, actually, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna pretend like just because one campaign staffer called for defunding the police or whatever. But I think you add this with what we just talked about. And there it is. Joe Biden, his campaign, they do agree with the same activist sentiment. Call it whatever you want. Reallocate, you know, address, whatever. Joe Biden says yes, absolutely. When the activists ask him if he's
Starting point is 00:45:27 on board. Yeah. Defund means take funds away, period. So now it doesn't matter where they go. If you're moving them somewhere else, you're defunding the police. But now for the sad, pessimistic view of the world. Oh, great. Every single story is this. Obviously, not literally all. I'm just saying like 90 something percent every day I'm going through the news and it's like, you know, Snopes, did Donald Trump actually, you know, like did Donald Trump carry a bag of burning puppies, you know, and toss them into a burning building? Mostly true. And then what it'll say is while Donald Trump did throw a bag of puppies into a burning building, it was actually
Starting point is 00:46:07 because he was moving them out of the burning room into the safe room where the firefighters were waiting to safely rescue them. It was the living room of the building. That's what they do, right? Yeah. So it's like you get this really great story. Donald Trump, you know, jumps in front of car to save little kid and they'll show the picture of Trump like this in front of the kid in front of the car. And it'll be like, you know, did Trump push a kid in front of a car? True. Donald Trump pushed the kid who was in front of a car to save his life. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:31 It's like, that's not the context. Yeah, man. Learn the context, people. No, it's on purpose. Learn the context. They know. Jim Acosta knows what he's doing. The media are storytellers.
Starting point is 00:46:43 That's what I'm finding out. They're storytellers that tell the story that they want to tell. And you have to look it up. Look up the context. That's what I've been doing. Everyone keeps giving me, oh, well, here's this article. And I'm like, all right, I'll read it. Yeah, but dude.
Starting point is 00:46:57 And then I'll go and follow the sources to the end to where it actually is talking about. And I'm like, oh, so it's not true. And I go back to the conversation. Okay, so that's not true. And I go back to the conversation. Okay, so that's not true. But what the right. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yes, it is. Someone actually said that to me.
Starting point is 00:47:11 But the average person spends most of their day at work. You're right. And all these people coming at me on Facebook, that's what they tend to do also. They don't. And I actually try to explain to them, okay, well, my job is actually researching all of this nonstop all day. That's what I've been doing. Even even my free time. I don't even have free time anymore. My free time is when we go skating. Yeah. As soon as that's over, I'm like, all right, back to the grind. You know, it's like but they don't want to hear that. They don't want to hear it.
Starting point is 00:47:38 They're like, are you a doctor, Adam? Are you a doctor? Someone told me that today because I've been i've been talking about certain things on facebook and and basically what they like to do is how about you you know just leave it to the experts adam and then when you say something like actually it's my job to read the news all day and fact check these things gone they just don't respond that's true because they don't actually care about what's important what what's true. This is a serious cultural problem we have. Because I'll tell you what, man. If the American people don't want to high five and yell America together, well, then that's a bigger problem.
Starting point is 00:48:13 That's all that matters. So, look, even if we disagreed on certain policy issues, as long as we agree on America, you know. That's not even the thing anymore. People are starting to be convinced that America is not good. And it's like, that's crazy to me. That is insane. And I know a lot of these people have never been outside America. And they need to.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Probably not even outside their hometown. I know for a fact that they have. But as far as leaving the states, i know one friend of mine has traveled around a lot and he should know better but it's like i read america is an amazing place we we are we are free here the our civil rights how many how many countries have have the amount of civil rights that we do what do you think oh man i honestly don't know a percentage really small actually tiny percentage because well it's it, it's really, really small. Even European countries don't have the same civil rights as us.
Starting point is 00:49:08 You're absolutely right. Like Canada, you can get arrested for saying naughty words on the internet. In the UK, Count Dankula made it. Count Dankula's story is the perfect example of how insane things are, even in Western nations. Because he made a joke for like 10 subscribers of his dog doing something offensive. Yeah. They arrested the guy and they like, they took the money out of his bank. They charged, convicted him for making a joke on the internet in the United States. This even happens to people, you know, you know, there are stories, people, uh, posting rap lyrics, getting arrested
Starting point is 00:49:39 and charged with terror and stuff. Seriously? Yeah. There's one story about some kid who posted rap lyrics and the rap lyrics were lewd no like terroristic oh wow yeah like talking about you know popping a cap or whatever hmm that's a whole nother conversation about about a certain culture that's uh you know making people do certain things and believe that that's the cool thing to do it's not even about that it's about the fact that we have a First Amendment right here in this country. Yeah. And even when the line is blurred, you can sometimes have your rights violated. And we still are one of the best countries. You're right.
Starting point is 00:50:12 I don't, I guess, arguably, in terms of freedom, Mexico might be better. You know why? Why? They've got, you know, I think it's in like Southern Mexico, a bunch of anarchists. Okay. Like both left and right wing. Kind of just do they want because it's it's relatively lawless yeah uh luke ridkowski if we are changed went down to i guess i don't know if it's acapulco and arcapulco or however like wherever it is but he literally went to the city that's all private
Starting point is 00:50:39 it's like private security everyone there's like no real strong government people just do whatever they want yeah and then rich people like to go down there and have private security guards guarding their property because they can do whatever they want. Think about the things you can actually do. Maybe play a game of poker with your friends. Maybe fire a bow and arrow in your backyard. I want to talk about things that if you knew what you were doing and you had a decent sized backyard and you had the proper safety and all that stuff and you knew it was safe you still can't do that in a lot of places like they'll call the cops yeah or even a bb gun so a
Starting point is 00:51:14 lot of people thinking about that and probably drugs they want to go off in the middle of nowhere but these places like in southern mexico are not necessarily the middle of nowhere they're towns with functioning you know stores and goods. And it's interesting, man. Talk about freedom. But you know what? I do personally think I'm not personally not an anarchist. I do like some government.
Starting point is 00:51:36 I would consider myself liberal. So a little bit more government than a libertarian would want. Yeah. That means I like the cops. I like being able to to have a justice system that for the most part tries to get it right not perfect not all the time better than some random dude you know because uh in this in an archipelago some lefty hippies were actually doing drug something and somebody ran in and just shot him and killed two of the
Starting point is 00:52:00 guys yeah just went bang bang bang and what do you? You can't do anything about it. And so I see that stuff and I'm like, that's why I like police. Not because the cops are going to magically appear and stop this. You got to defend yourself. You got your responsibilities. True. But then we have a justice system that will, to whatever degree you're happy with, like not sometimes it's not perfect. They'll try to stop these people so they don't do it again.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Yeah. And that does reduce the amount of crimes and murder. And now the best part, man, New York City, they defunded the police, $1 billion. They reassigned 600 anti-crime unit cops. Crime skyrocketed. And now guess what? They're asking for it back. Local activists.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Begging for it back. Please. Please bring back our police. We didn't. Local activists in New york are saying like no we want our cops back yeah the crime's going up help right and what is what do we get from aoc what a surprise aoc is like well it'll be like the suburbs they just want bread really that's what it well before she even got to that statement well what does defunding the police look
Starting point is 00:53:00 like oh it looks like the suburbs where everyone has like a big large property and they're a nice house like really that's what it's going to look like sure less less dense population less dense population people aren't living on top of each other hmm that's what it's going to look like to you what she where does she live she comes out is mary antoinette it's true she comes out and says defund the police means defund and this isn't enough we need more yeah meanwhile the people who actually live in New York are saying, please help us. We need our police. And is she listening? No. She's saying, maybe they need bread. I love that, dude. That's Mary Antoinette.
Starting point is 00:53:35 It is. Let them have bread. Let them have bread. Maybe they're stealing bread while they're shooting each other. Wow, man. And beating cops up. Yeah, dude. Yeah, and shooting each other. New York and beating cops up yeah dude yeah and shooting each other new york in front of their kids you know it's you know it's funny we talked about donald trump setting up these luxury buildings to get rich people to come back to pay taxes yep now trump's gone everybody you know all these people all these people in new york are ragging on him all the time and now their tax base is eroding due to their horrifying job dealing with covid yep they blame him for it but it's all Cuomo's fault.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Yeah, absolutely. It's all de Blasio's fault, to be fair. And mostly Cuomo. They're both to blame. Yeah, I think Bill de Blasio first. Yeah. And then Cuomo, but both of them. They were probably talking about it.
Starting point is 00:54:17 It's like they're both standing there yelling, we saved the city. And like, everybody's dead from COVID. Patrick and SpongeBob there. Yeah, exactly. We did it. We saved the city. Congratulations everybody's dead from covid patrick and spongebob yeah exactly we did it we saved the city congratulations it ran them up killed a bunch of people and that was them you know there's like bill de blasio's people early on saying come down to chinatown nancy pelosi was doing the same thing and they want to try and blame trump for it look man you can you
Starting point is 00:54:42 can criticize trump he's not good doing good, but you have to do better than him. Like, if you're doing a really bad job, like, imagine this. Imagine, like, the kitchen is a disaster zone. And, like, you're cleaning it. And I'm sitting there literally throwing garbage on the floor. And I'm like, Adam, why don't you clean up your mess? And you're like, first of all, I didn't make the mess. Second of all, you're literally throwing garbage on the floor.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Like, you can't be. By the way, this actually happens. No, this doesn, first of all, I didn't make the mess. Second of all, you're literally throwing garbage on the floor. Like you can't be, by the way, this, this actually happens. No, it doesn't happen. No, I'm just kidding. But my point is you can criticize Trump for sure. And you can, you, but, but I think it's fair to say, if you've got criticism, you've got, you've got, can you do better? Right. One of the problems I have with, uh, actually, you know, I'm going to give a shout outs to a Casey Neistat video and try and connect these into a similar idea about relativity. So they're saying Trump's doing a bad job. Relative to what?
Starting point is 00:55:33 Who do we compare COVID to? Other countries that are smaller and have different, you know, border controls. You know, when you look at these European nations that are much smaller than the U.S. and they were able to lock down their borders, that certainly helped we didn't lock down our borders between states it's up to the states to do not trump and remember we are called the united states for a reason there's different states every state has its own laws it has its own governors they do their own thing they straight up told trump to f off like don't even don't even try to tell us what to do we're running the show we're the the governors. And he was like, here's my guidelines.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Yeah, yeah. He tried to help. And they were like, no, no, no. Those are your guidelines. This is the United States. This is what we do. But then as soon as as soon as that corner turns, they flip it on him. Like, well, now we can blame him.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Now we're going to switch it around. It's relativity. Relativity. Is Trump doing a bad job on COVID? In order to say yes or no, you need a control United States, which does not exist. That's a good point. And so I see a lot of people saying, well, look at Italy. How come they, well, Italy is like one state.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Okay, well, still, how come Italy versus what, New York? Because New York is the epicenter. Right. Well, what about Pennsylvania? Do we have border restrictions stopping people from traveling between New York and Pennsylvania? No, you can just go boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. And Trump can't do anything about that. Yeah. So it's not the same. It's very hard to quantify. But this brings me to the general lefty argument. I was watching this video from Casey Neistat. It's an older video.
Starting point is 00:56:58 And it's called something like being rich versus being poor. And he basically talks about how he was reading this article that said this guy makes $1.2 million a year and he hates his life. He's miserable. His office sucks. And he's unhappy. And they talk about like a janitor
Starting point is 00:57:13 who loves his job and feels so helpful. He's like a janitor at a hospital. Okay. And they bring up a really good point about purpose and fulfillment. Basically, if you're a real estate broker or whatever, agent, and you're making millions of dollars, if you're a real estate broker or whatever, agent, and you're making millions of dollars, do you feel fulfilled? Are you actually helping the
Starting point is 00:57:30 world be a better place? Probably not. So what the guy said was, when I die, will anyone care that I got a 2% return on my investment? But the janitor is saying, I may not be a doctor, but without me, people will literally die. I need to clean up medical waste and make sure the hospital is functioning in such a way that doctors can bring these people in safely and securely. And so what I'm doing is very important. So anyway, purpose, people need a purpose. In this video, he talks about how he says, you know, they claim money can't buy you happiness, but it can. And the reason he gives is that everybody's trying to find happiness, love, purpose, and fulfillment and others. These are like, you know, human desires.
Starting point is 00:58:12 And then he mentions that, then he like folds this thing up and it says healthcare, clothes, you know, housing. And he was like, when you, when you are rich, you can just pay for all of these problems to go away. And then these other things, you're just free to explore. So money can literally solve your problems. And I take, I disagree. I humbly disagree. And this goes back to a lot of what we're saying about the far left, about AOC. Think about what healthcare means today. Think about what housing means today you know so standards living everyone's used to the standards of living in this country are so incredibly high the only reason you think your health care is a problem is because you
Starting point is 00:58:52 know someone has it better that's a good point think about it that's a good 100 years ago if you got cancer what do you do you know what yes I'll die more importantly though it's they don't know that there's people in the world that have it less. Well, that's what I mean. That's the other side of the coin. But that's what everyone ignores. They only see someone that's doing better. Capitalism is so bad.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Is it? Or are you just clueless to what's really going on in the world? Because that's what I'm seeing. The meme is graduates with, you know, feminine dance degree, and then complains capitalism isn't working. Like, why isn't this working? But you know, when I watch this video, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:59:33 if you stubbed, you know, if you got a cut in the middle of the woods, you know, two or 300 years ago on an important journey, you'd look down and go, oh man, guess I'll die. I'm kidding, but that's like the joke. But it could. Lose your leg? Near water where you can open, like take out the sliver of the, you know,
Starting point is 00:59:52 you stub your toe on a piece of wood. Burn it, I guess. A bit of wood. You could cauterize it. I have no idea. I cut my foot, my ankle on coral when I was 12. Just cut it open. It was bad.
Starting point is 01:00:02 I mean, I got it sewn up. Everything was fine. Seven months later, I got a bone infection in my right hip. I was bedridden for months. I couldn't walk. So it was really bad. But that's the kind of thing that we don't even think about. It's like, sure, yeah. If I cut it, I could have maybe sewn the wound shut, whatever, it would have been fine. But the infection that got me later on in life. I'm not saying people should be resigned to poverty.
Starting point is 01:00:29 I'm just saying keep some perspective. Perspective is everything. Just because other people might have it better doesn't mean you have it worse. We've gradually improved everything. I was watching a rerun of Outer Limits, that show from the 90s. I was talking about it. Because I just watched it. I love that show.
Starting point is 01:00:44 One of them, it's these two guys who get teleported. They get time traveled to the Civil War. Okay. One of the guys is an actual medic. And so he gets captured by the Confederates. He's dressed like a Yankee for a reenactment. And they force him to perform a surgery on a guy who got shot in the leg. And they're like, we need you to amputate.
Starting point is 01:01:01 And he goes, no, I don't need to amputate. And the colonel or whatever is like, if you do not amputate, this man will die. And he goes, this man will not die. Because he had his bag with him. And he pulled a little tube of Neosporin or something, some antibacterial. He just rubbed it on the leg and was like, good to go. And then the next day, the guy's like, you saved my life. And it saved my leg.
Starting point is 01:01:20 It was some simple, something we take for granted. You go to Walgreens and you're like, how much for this i stubbed my toe and like that'll be two dollars and you're like two dollars right fine or you like take some mouthwash and you like splash it on because you're like well i guess i'll use this right and it's antiseptic it's antiseptic so i i so far i look at a lot of these lefties that think they should be Rockefeller. They think they should be Donald Trump. And I'm like, no, no, no, no. There will always be people who are better, who are richer. I mean, there's one person out of 7.2 billion that is the richest person.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Literally not everybody can be completely equal in all these terms. You can be equal in poverty. Right. Go to a country like Venezuela. Even there, you're not completely equal. they're still wealthy people who have military power and control and they'll they'll do the well i mean his dad was rich and it's like that's true okay well then think about your great grandchild think about that that child and be make sure that they're set up think about them don't think about yourself anymore. Think about how Trump got that.
Starting point is 01:02:27 And his great-grandfather came here. He wasn't super wealthy. I mean, I'll talk about it more tomorrow. I don't want to, like... But basically, it's like, that's what you got to do. Plan for the future. Think about the future and be like, I need to better myself today
Starting point is 01:02:41 so that when my child grows up, they're going to be better off. Whoa, whoa, whoa, Adam. That sounds like you're talking some white supremacy here. Planning for the future. Yeah, whatever. That stupid article. I don't want to give credence to that. That's stupid. I don't even like joking about it. It's stupid. This is a serious issue. If you seriously think that there's other people out there that are doing better than you and that's what you're focused on, your focus is wrong. You need to focus on on yourself that's what people don't want to do
Starting point is 01:03:08 anymore and that pisses me off well well well i'm seeing it everywhere but but hold on what the way i'd put it is if you look at somebody and they're better off than you and your reaction is i deserve what they have your next question should be what do i have to do to accomplish it that's exactly right boom and and then more importantly within the law because some people will be like i got me a knife i'm gonna go take what i deserve and some people are gonna be like i got me a molotov and i'm gonna go demand the government give me what i deserve you gotta earn it you deserve what you build and then they say but capitalism is exploitative and And you know what, man, you're free. You are free. I'll tell you what. Why don't any of these people understand entitlement? Do they buy a shirt? No. Do they wear shirts? Do they do you want to wear a hat?
Starting point is 01:03:56 Do you use headphones? Do you communicate on your phone every day? You know such a blind eye to the benefits of what it has brought us. Even down to antiseptic, which is super important. We should start a fund, raise a bunch of money, to buy a big plot of land
Starting point is 01:04:20 and build a commune and invite all of them to live there for free and bask in true utopian equality what would they do well if you want food you gotta grow it but they did that they did that you you told me about i know i'm saying let's make it a thing it's like so all these people are like we didn't we demand equality and socialism bro we got a socialist commune ready to go exactly as you dreamed it up and if you work hard you'll be fine and i literally mean it in the best ways possible but you know i expect what happened warlord no well yeah someone
Starting point is 01:04:51 would show up with a gun and be like i'm gonna sit right here and you give me grapes yep and then they're no but like let's say we we actually set up a real commune because they've they exist there's one it's really really great okay they they um they all vote on who they let in and they have a limit on how many people are allowed, but it really does function properly. I've seen, there's a few and they exist over in Europe also, some in the UK. I got mad respect. And some here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they built it. And they work hard.
Starting point is 01:05:16 And they work hard. Every single day you don't stop working. But they love it. People don't want to work either. Hard work is another one on those lists. I don't want to. But check it work is another one on those lists. But check it out. The people who actually started these communes, they're hard workers. That's true. They invited in hard workers, and the people who don't work hard are free to go at any time.
Starting point is 01:05:34 No, no, no. Are kicked out. If you don't work hard in those kind of environments, you are not welcome. You don't get food, and then you leave. No, they're very strict. Yeah. don't get food and then you leave so they're like no they're very strict yeah i i've i've watched a few things on those those kind of places and they are strict if you don't do the work you're not welcome there and that makes sense to me what i'd love to do is i'd love to set up a little commune
Starting point is 01:05:57 and i will pay your your travel ticket in style you'll come down you bring whatever you want and then get to tilling that field baby you want You want food tomorrow, you better work. Chop, chop. Up at sunup, go to bed, go to bed, you know, three or four hours after sundown, after you finished all your work. And if that's what you're into, some people really are into that. But it's like, if people just need to experience hard work, because like I told you, like I had friends who did and they immediately were like, wow, I like being American. I like cheap Chinese plastic crap. I don't want to work.
Starting point is 01:06:32 These people, I'll tell you what, man, in New York City, now they're moving out because these jobs are remote. Could you imagine what it must be like to work at BuzzFeed? No. Listen. I would never. I used to, when I was 18, I got a job at American Eagle Airlines, which is American Airlines' regional branch.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Okay. And it was eight hours a day, lifting like 30 to 50,000 pounds of luggage all day, every day, just loading up, you know, planes. Or if you're in the bag room, everybody hated that. It wasn't so bad, actually. The reason people don't like the bag room is because you sit in front of a conveyor belt watching bags and you have like a certain zone. So you're like these cities.
Starting point is 01:07:08 You have to grab their bags, load them up. Okay. And so it actually wasn't that bad because sometimes you'd sit around doing nothing. When you're loading planes, however, planes come in every like 40 minutes. Right. So you're constantly going to a different spot. No, no, no. When the planes are coming in 40 minutes, you have actually like a 15-minute break in between.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Oh, all right. You know, like a 20-minute break. So I do this job, hard work all day, every day. The first time I saw a news office, I just busted out laughing, laughing. I walk in, half the chairs are empty. And I'm like, oh, wow. A lot of empty chairs. Oh, no, they're still working from home. And I like working from home yeah do they have to come in i mean you know we like it when they do but not really what do they do um you know they just do clickbait couple articles per day like what is you know so this person does our music blog they would write like i just you know advice articles are like oh yeah it's like i listened
Starting point is 01:08:01 i i smoked a bunch of weed and then listened to this old sublime album and dude it was crazy and they were just right like this and i'm like you know how much they got paid advice like 30k a year which was double what you would make lifting heavy bags but i'll tell you what some of these companies it's like you write listicles about brad pitt's junk like look at all these bulges here's's a list. And they're getting paid 30, 40K a year. I'm not going to pretend it's a lot of money for New York City,
Starting point is 01:08:28 but relative to somebody making minimum wage lifting heavy bags, I couldn't help but bust out laughing. This is what you consider work? Wow. And I'll tell you what, man.
Starting point is 01:08:39 I work for these companies. Like, I got to be real. They have no idea what they're doing. Half the time, they're sitting around doing nothing. Right. Not even, they're sitting there.
Starting point is 01:08:48 And I'm like, what are you doing? I don't know. You going to write? I'll tell you what I am doing. I'm getting paid. That's right. Yup. On salary.
Starting point is 01:08:57 And that's just. That's boring. That's a crazy thing about the media industry. That when they fall apart and they fire everybody, you wonder why. It's like these people aren't producing things. It's fire everybody, you wonder why. It's like these people aren't producing things. It's not real. It's not.
Starting point is 01:09:08 It's not real, man. The media bubble, it does feel like it's crumbling. Here's my solution. Wonderful. I've figured it out, everybody. I've figured out a way to save the news industry.
Starting point is 01:09:18 I'm going to recreate the vice office, but instead of people sitting around confused at the time, I'm going to make them make birdhouses. They're going to be building birdhouses instead of people sitting around confused at the time, I'm going to make birdhouses. They're going to be building birdhouses instead of sitting around doing nothing.
Starting point is 01:09:29 Hear me out. We sell the birdhouses and make a profit. And then, of course, whenever they have time, they can write one of their stupid articles about smoking pot and listening to Sublime or something. No downtime. If you're not reading the news, you're building a birdhouse. You got that? That's pretty good.
Starting point is 01:09:45 There you go. It's pretty good. We sell those birdhouses online maybe we can do like uh crochet and stuff and make scarves make we'll make beanies whatever you're good at everybody must be must be making beanies i like this yeah idea the beanie idea you must be you must you must be manufacturing to be to be fair though my my vision of a functioning media company would would be literally everything you do is work and so this is actually something they tried doing with vice but never took off where it was like when we would go out on uh documentary shoots for say oh we're going to a riot you know we're gonna we're gonna go we went to ukraine okay and they asked can you film other things with your downtime? Like, you got to eat, right?
Starting point is 01:10:26 Can you film yourselves eating? Hey, we're in Ukraine, and they just served us up some cabbage. And we're going to eat Ukraine cabbage. Yeah. Look how excited we are. Boom, article. Not an article, video. Oh, video, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:38 Because then you can make really quick videos where, like, here's what food is like in this place. It's actually really clever. That's great. That's a good point. Never did it. Never. But it was a good idea. It like can you can you always be working yeah but they actually did a show that was like people really loved about food i can't remember
Starting point is 01:10:51 what the guy's name was action bronson or something was that his name yeah yeah and he did yeah i think he did it yeah yeah yeah and everyone really loved it i guess he's pretty funny yeah man but uh wow such little work in that city of New York City. I'd rather do that. You want to hire me to do that? I'll fly around and find all the crazy food. You want to quit the podcast? No.
Starting point is 01:11:15 But we will. When we expand, we're going to do silly food stuff and skateboarding and whatever. But I'll tell you what. We have a serious problem in this country with the general balance of wealth and labor. I think that's, that's actually a fact. So that's why, like, I'm pretty left when it comes to like the wealth inequality stuff. Yeah. And there's a lot, there's a lot of things that I think are, you know, strange that conservatives would support or that liberals would support that are probably contradictory. Like, listen, there are wealth and equality problems in this country. The easiest
Starting point is 01:11:46 way to put it is, why is someone getting paid three times as much to write about Brad Pitt's junk compared to someone who actually will build or fix something? Good point. I tell you, man, look, when you're like one of your own business doing like carpentry or plumbing or some kind of actual trade, you'll make good money. But why is a senior editor who sits at a computer collecting articles from other people and then just reads them and says, I'm going to publish this, getting paid more? They're not making anything. We could literally just delete all of these companies. We'd be better off for it.
Starting point is 01:12:18 Probably. Look, some news, a lot of, we need news. We need real journalism. What we don't need are these trash blogs you know like buzzfeed and fox buzzfeed springs to mind yeah buzzfeed what how do we rebalance that you know when i was little i always agreed that it's crazy that baseball players that you know basketball players get paid all this money and scientists and tradesmen and firefighters don't. And that's like a common lefty kind of perspective. What is that?
Starting point is 01:12:48 There's a CEO that gave up his salary to take like a crazy cut. Do you know who I'm talking about? In Seattle. Super stressful. I don't remember who it is. No, it was a company in Seattle, right? He was talking about it. He was like, look, my company wouldn't exist without the workers.
Starting point is 01:13:04 So I'm going to pay myself significantly less. about it he was like look i i wouldn't my company wouldn't exist without the workers so i'm gonna i'm gonna get pay myself significantly less but this was and all of that would go what it's not real there's i have to pull it back up but i'm pretty sure it was because people don't understand how businesses work okay i'm not going to say anything specific about this guy because i don't know the specific guy you're referencing but i think i do okay let me just tell you something when you own a corporation okay you can say i'm going to reduce my salary to you know 50 000 a year to be the same as the people um accountant yes just issue it all as profits at the end of the year right so you can publicly announce your salaries being reduced right i'm not i'm i'm not saying that like look
Starting point is 01:13:43 if you work if you get a job at a company and they're like, what's your salary requirement? You say 50 grand a year and they say you're hired. And then you're like, but it turns out the CEO makes $5 million. That's too bad. That's his company. You don't got to work there. What I mean is, why is a person literally writing about going to a rave and taking acid and then passing out in the bathroom and getting paid more, or at least the same as a dude who literally builds houses. Like if you, if you are the lowest tier apprentice, you know, showing up and being like, I have no idea how this works, but I can carry tools for you. You deserve more than someone who's like, I saw Brad Pitt's junk today.
Starting point is 01:14:20 He was popping out in a, in a tabloid magazine. And here's a list of all the times a celebrity's junk has appeared. Why are you getting paid for that? To be fair. Why do people care about that? Well, that's what I was going to say. To be fair, people care. And people are more willing to essentially buy or cater to those products. And that's why they make so much money. But I kind of feel like there's something wrong with that. And I don't know if you can actually solve it because then we get into the conversation about capitalism, you know, free market versus controlled or command economy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:53 But it does bum me out that it's part of the conversation we've had before that if humans ever shake hands with aliens, it'll be not because they overcame nuclear weapons, but because they overcame the Xbox. PlayStation would be more accurate. Right, considering, accurate right considering you know but at the time when the quote was said xbox was up there you know like hey everybody's got an xbox but no but it is true man it bums me out that we allocate so much of our energy as humans to dumb nonsense it's true i don't know how you solve that though because free will individuality that's why we need a space race that's why we need a space race. That's why we need Trump's, what's the Artemis Project? Artemis, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:32 That's why Elon Musk and then going from the moon to Mars. Because we need to inspire a culture to look beyond writing stories about doing drugs at a rave. Yeah, everyone's so complacent in this world that we live in right now. That's an issue, too. People are comfortable and then are so comfortable they're forgetting what it's like to not be comfortable. They're forgetting what it's like to not have all these amazing amenities that this world now offers us to everyone, most people. You need water? Go get some water. In some states, it's illegal to say no to someone who's asking for water. I'm talking about Arizona specifically.
Starting point is 01:16:07 There's probably other places, maybe Texas, somewhere along the south. Is it illegal to ask for water? No, no, to deny someone water. If you walk in and say, oh, water, I need water, it's like, okay, here you go. They have to give it to you. They have to give it to you. Because in a place like Arizona, you could really die. Yeah, you could.
Starting point is 01:16:22 I just had a terrifying thought. What's that? What if the simulation is already over? And it's just running. Now it's just running its course. No, like, yeah, right. The credits are rolling. And that's why everything's getting crazy, right?
Starting point is 01:16:33 Yeah, maybe. Have you played Civilization? I haven't, no. So in Civilization, there's multiple ways to get a victory. For those that aren't familiar, it's a video game where you literally start from, like, you know, nomadic tribes and then develop technology. And then eventually you have these big civilizations and you go to war whatever there's several ways to win there's like a space race victory where you can go and colonize other planets cultural victory where you become the dominant culture of the planet war victory by
Starting point is 01:16:57 just blowing everybody up and taking over their land but once you beat the game you can choose to just keep playing anyway okay and then the game objective is done and you're just doing whatever. So that's where you think we are? Yeah, maybe the simulation ended a long time ago. You know what I was thinking about? Like, why was there a space race in the 60s? What was the motivation of the United States to say, we must be better than the Soviets, that we don't have any of that today?
Starting point is 01:17:21 Honestly, it was just fear because the American public thought that because they were in space they could spy on us from space. So it was it was laced with fear of them being able to you know shoot us from the stars essentially you know. Right. And that's what spawned it into. So you know it was pretty much fear that led it into the new space race. So how have we how have we come to this point where everyone feels like they've beaten the game? Where it's like you've got nothing to do, you're bored, you're angry. There's no fear.
Starting point is 01:17:53 You've got food, you've got video games. There's no purpose. Whatever you want at the tip of your fingers. No fear, to be honest. I think that's a good point. We were concerned for our safety. Yep, that's why. Our security wasn't guaranteed.
Starting point is 01:18:04 We had to strive to be better to protect ourselves. Now we don't. Well, that's why. Our security wasn't guaranteed. We had to strive to be better to protect ourselves. Now we don't. Well, that's why I want to talk about Chicxulub. If you don't know what that is, that is the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs. There's a layer of molten, I don't know, material all around the world from the same time period. And that's because it struck the planet
Starting point is 01:18:24 and killed 99% of life on this planet. That can happen. We see, like, there's a comet flying by right now. If it's nighttime where you are, go outside and look. It's cool. Neo, what is it called? Neo something? I don't remember. I don't know, but we talked about the news of the flybys.
Starting point is 01:18:42 Yeah, yeah. Where, like, the orbit gets really really close and it's like, woo. It's like everyone's so desensitized by Armageddon, the movie, however many other. Deep Impact. Deep Impact. Yeah, they make clone movies. Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, whatever. It's just movies.
Starting point is 01:18:59 And it's like, well, yeah, well, that could actually happen. We are flying through. Our sun isn't sitting in one spot. It's flying. It's flying through space. We are traveling around a traveling star. So we don't know if there's a rock out there that's just floating that's going to enter our solar system and run into our planet.
Starting point is 01:19:22 There was Au Mao Mao Mao or something. Au Mao planet. There was Au Mao Mao. That was an interstellar object that entered our solar system, orbited around the sun one time and dipped out. We got lucky. It didn't hit us. But those kind of things exist. That could happen. I'm not trying to instill fear but it is something that we need. That's why I love space. Space is something we don't think about as much anymore, but it's out there.
Starting point is 01:19:52 The immensity of what space is. So we need a meteor false flag. I mean, I guess. We need an announcement where it's like, there's a meteor in the sky, and we've got five years to build interplanetary defense. And then everyone comes together, and then it's like Independence Day. We will not go quiet. Yeah, maybe. Into the night.
Starting point is 01:20:16 It's not going to be aliens, though. It's going to be a meteor. I feel like that's the largest threat to the planet. Always, at all times. Climate change didn't work though because we are floating through space that that's like people stop thinking about it because it's just you know movies whatnot they tried climate change right as the big grand apocalyptic event yeah a lot of people don't we just had a pandemic and i couldn't even do it maybe we we so we used to have fear behind us and a family ahead
Starting point is 01:20:46 of us yeah now they're taking our families and there's no fear behind us that's a good point maybe it's because we have no families nobody there's nobody going like no fear no families great think about it the fear is gone yep for some reason that even though we're watching in california they're forcefully injecting hormones into this kid. People are still saying, well, you know, I'm worried about my kids, so I'll just do nothing. No, but for real, like,
Starting point is 01:21:11 aren't you scared for your children? I would be. People aren't. They're like, well, I am in the sense that I could lose my job, but not in the sense that the future is going to be a nightmarish dystopian hellhole that I'm okay with.
Starting point is 01:21:22 There's no fear about what you leave for your children. Why not? Because we're taught to worry about yourself. Yeah, man. That's what we are told. You can be anything. You're a star. You can do whatever you want and move out of your family home. Get your own place. If you still live with your parents, like you're not an adult yet. You know, you got to live on your own. You got to be your own person. So it's like the community
Starting point is 01:21:53 of how humans have gotten to where we are is being lost. I feel like when you raise people to be self-centered, but they still have their natural instinct to protect their kids, you get what we have today. No real fear for the future their children will inherit,
Starting point is 01:22:09 but a general fear for their immediate safety. Yeah, yeah. It's dread of the present. If we were scared that like, what if the Soviets build a satellite that could launch, you know, what do they call it? Rods from God? The tungsten rods?
Starting point is 01:22:22 Tungsten rods. Balls up your city and then everybody dies and that scared them and said we must defend ourselves but today they're like what if these people literally inject my children with hormones and then arrest them for saying naughty words right oh you know i don't know i'm not gonna say anything or like the i hate bringing this list up but it's on that list that said well we have this story oh the media is still oh this oh this they're talking about aren't they this is the yeah calling it calling out white culture calling out the the bias training people as as racist well i guess but before we get to that
Starting point is 01:22:55 i just wanted to say on that list that i guess we're about to talk about it says delayed gratification is something that they're damning like abolish it's a bad thing it's like that is exactly the problem we if if it's just instant gratification you're not getting anything you're not doing anything right you're just that's you know that's playing you know the the worst games just you know it in every aspect of your life just to get it get it now instead of thinking about your children. Why do you think all these people who have a lot of money that they're traveling? I'm bringing up the Trump thing about how his dad like furthered this thing.
Starting point is 01:23:33 And it's like, sure, generational wealth. Well, if you are thinking and jealous of generational wealth, start the generation. Delayed gratification is knowing that your grandchild is going to be better off because of what you're doing right now a society grows great when people plant trees whose shade they know they will never they will never sit in where's that from it's a greek proverb but i think is it greek it couldn't be couldn't be more true though yeah yeah but nobody believes it anymore right because we're comfortable no but i think because we've been raised to be selfish. Yep. Man, think about how... Comfortable and selfish.
Starting point is 01:24:06 It used to be all for the kids. Yep. Now it's all like, I guess I have kids. Whatever. Well, there's a compelling argument to be made that the reason that we're so selfish is because our parents worked their butts off so that we could have the best life ever. Like, literally the best life that anyone's ever had. That was our parents' goal.
Starting point is 01:24:23 That was their parents' goal. After World War II, they came back and they were like, we have to make life really good for our kids that's what i'm saying we won we beat the game yeah man they did i know my dad worked his butt off so we we beat the game me the last two like two generations ago was when the game screen popped up and says congratulations you've won you've created the best possible life for your children would you like to keep playing anyway and they just set the controller down and and they pressed autoplay and like whatever i'm gonna go i don't really care yeah make a hot you ever see that story about the dude who left uh he had like a a civilization game from like it was running for like 20 years or something there was a really funny story was like civilization 2 from the 90s okay and apparently
Starting point is 01:25:05 he had been playing the game for 20 years and it was a post-apocalyptic wasteland of constant nuclear bombs going off oh man because people would just the war could never end because the hatred ran so deep and every time they nuked a city the nuclear waves would make it impossible to recover but then they would all just build another nuke and then nuke each other and it was just a the year was like 20 000 and it was a nightmarish what if that's where we're going man no we beat the game we did it we've got the best lives we got instant communication we got running water clean water now not for the rest of the world but in america yeah the universe is out there the entire universe yeah man we're a pale blue dot thank you car, Carl Sagan.
Starting point is 01:25:45 People need to watch him. People need to know their history. They got to know what we've been through. We need an energy revolution. It's happening. What's the latest? Solid state batteries? Well, that is actually an amazing innovation that has happened.
Starting point is 01:25:59 That's going to change the game. It is. I think it allows... They don't degrade. That's the key. Yeah, that's the key. And they don't blow up. And they don't blow up. Exactly. Those two things are fairly important. Incredibly. Who are we kidding?
Starting point is 01:26:11 It's incredible. But I mean, it's not necessarily enough for the energy output we would need for like the current level of, you know... Well, there's graphene. Space travel. Graphene is another big thing that they just figured out. Me and Ian talk about it a bunch.
Starting point is 01:26:27 We can basically take any carbon-based anything and turn it into graphene, and graphene can be used for everything. It's an incredible – we have it on a very small scale right now, but eventually we're going to have to go dig up our trash from dumps, and we're going to be able to use it to make more graphene yeah and that's incredible that's so cool so that that's that's something that we're we're going to be able to do so that's that's a change it's and we're going to need that for space travel think about like all the the trash maybe whatever we come up with we can make graphene
Starting point is 01:26:59 out of it and then use that graphene as as hey look you know we had we had that plague what year was the plague 1918 what are you talking about no no the literal plague the black plague oh gosh that was like 1300 but after that followed the renaissance or something didn't it like you have this level of technology but everybody is you know straining for resources then a large portion of the population dies because of the plague but the the level of technology remains. So then everybody flourishes and grows rapidly again. It's kind of like breathing. Well, that's why Elon wants to occupy Mars because we need to expand or that will happen naturally. And I agree with him.
Starting point is 01:27:40 But Mars doesn't have a magnetic field, and I don't think it has the gravity to maintain an atmosphere. It doesn't matter. So we do domes and stuff. We have to figure out a way to move on. We have to. Yeah, for sure, for sure. We must. Maybe we just underground some training.
Starting point is 01:27:56 Maybe we, you know what we do? You know the movie, have you ever seen Red Planet? Val Kilmer? Yeah, yeah, the first people to go to Mars. I don't remember they fight i saw when it first came out the robot turns evil or something okay so you know what you do we need to combine the movie the core was that bruce willis in the core i don't remember either the oh who was that i don't know they have to like restart the earth's core yes so here's what we do
Starting point is 01:28:21 all right we take the actors from the movie Deep Impact and the actors from the core and we bring them together and they go to Mars and they kickstart the core. I don't know. I'm just kidding. I don't know how you would actually do it. First you've got to defund Hollywood and make it more inspiring for kids to want to be the scientists that come up with the answers. Well, Hollywood's a great tool for that. I know, but it's not being used correctly.
Starting point is 01:28:50 Exactly. So what we need is. People want to be actors. People want to be influencers. They want to be TikTok stars. YouTubers. Like, that is not helping anything. That's them thinking they are superstars, which is what they've been taught.
Starting point is 01:29:03 This is the addiction, bro. That's what they've been taught. I'm a superstar, so I should be able to do and be famous. And it's like, okay, well, you got to have a reason that people are going to want to watch you. If you don't fill yourself with something to give to these people, you're nothing. So you got to make something of yourself first. And they're ignoring that fact. Look at who succeeded in this open environment. Pranksters.
Starting point is 01:29:26 I can't name one prankster. I can name... I'm not going to personally call them out. Okay. But there are a lot of high-profile prank channels. A lot of videos were getting views by... Are they still famous? They got banned.
Starting point is 01:29:37 Oh. Because YouTube was like, yo, this is... When left to their own devices, people were like, I'm going to make a video where I go around saying racial slurs. And then they just one-up each other.
Starting point is 01:29:46 One-up each other. One-up each other. So there was a series of videos where they would go around saying certain things that sound like racial slurs when said quickly enough. Yeah. Like, hello, my neighbor.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Okay. But they would say it really, really fast. Oh, I see. And then people would be like, what did you say to me? I got a teacher that got really mad at me because I said, what the hello teacher and they were like how dare you and then took me to the principal's office the principal was like
Starting point is 01:30:10 get out of here what are you talking about i was like 11 or something what this is why i'm not a laissez-faire capitalist but i don't think i would ever i think i think the answer is something like can we come together to fund movies that inspire people i mean like interstellar was awesome i agree great movie we need we need more cultural cohesion yeah around doing better but you know one of the problems is this critical race theory stuff thinks that science is evil whiteness that must be abolished also crazy when elon musk launched that car into space they were like look how crazy these billionaires are wasting waste they he could have you know given people health care or something and it's like you realize that money was spent on earth right people had jobs yeah paid taxes
Starting point is 01:30:53 and they needed to have weight he was trying to test that there's something cool inspirational no before that they decided to do that it was because they needed to have weight to test to payload right that the rocket would work. So he was like, oh, well, I'll put a car out there. And you know what it did? It did inspire a bunch of kids to get into space programs, which Trump brought back. The Artemis program. It's incredible stuff.
Starting point is 01:31:19 He gave them back their funding. And I love that. What did the Obama administration think was going to happen? We were going to create a consumerist humanity that just loves plastic i yeah plastic crap yeah i don't know what the cheap plastic crap would put a clock in it made in china yeah we need something better yeah we need a mission and right now the mission is this weird religion intersectionalism right yeah man well if we don't if we don't get on top of that what's going to happen to us in 20 years we're just a bunch of like sunken-eyed gaunt angry antifa intersectionalists with shaved heads i don't think that disease is spreading as
Starting point is 01:31:57 as far as as well now that the media is slowly getting on board with calling it out as literal white supremacy perhaps it'll be better. But, dude, it's in the army. It's in the federal government. It's in every school. It's in every grade school. Dude, I was out for a Christmas dinner, a Christmas breakfast with my family. And I was talking to my mom and my sister about that Equity comic where it shows three people standing in front of a fence.
Starting point is 01:32:23 You know that one? For those that aren't familiar, it's like there's a tall guy a medium guy and a short guy and the tall guy and the medium guy can see and the short guy can't they said in equality everybody gets a crate well the tall guy and the medium guy don't need a crate in equity they give two crates to the short guy so he can see now too and i was talking about it and i was explaining why it doesn't make sense and why it's a manipulation. And my niece, who's like eight, she goes, they show us that in school. And I was like, they do.
Starting point is 01:32:51 And she was like, yeah, like this specific image. And she goes, yeah, they taught us about it. And I was like, oh, man. That is indoctrination to a religion. Eight years old. What I explained was it's very simple to quantify the idea of equity when you're looking at a fence with crates. But now there's like 50 different versions of
Starting point is 01:33:10 this stupid comic explaining what real justice is. And I said, how do you determine, how do you quantify access and privilege when you're judging people based on like 200,000 different immutable characteristics? Are blue eyes better than brown eyes? What if you have crooked teeth? What if you have blonde hair or what if you're dyed your hair what if you personally
Starting point is 01:33:28 choose to do something there's no way to quantify that all right and so i was i was talking to my family about it but she's being indoctrinated by her teachers to believe this critical race theory stuff equity so yeah it's pervasive yeah and then why why would anyone want to be like a who knows like any any sort of a job if it pays the same as everyone else? You know, why would I do that when I could just do the easy job? Right. I'll just do the easy job. That's the problem with socialism.
Starting point is 01:33:54 Everyone's just going to want to do the easy job. No one's going to want to do the hard job. Yep. And if everything pays the same, all the hard jobs won't get done anymore, and then society will fall apart. So there needs to be like an aspect. And they're not thinking about that. But that's the problem.
Starting point is 01:34:11 Always. They're not thinking about it. They're ignorant of the facts of what is actually going on. I think a mixed economy makes the most sense. I do believe. And that's what we are, aren't we? A lot of. We are.
Starting point is 01:34:22 I do think a lot of people are not. They're not motivated by money. Some people are motivated by money and they take jobs where they manipulate money to make money. I'm not a fan. But when it comes to the ability to hand someone cash and take it back, well, that exists. You know, people are going to be able to exploit that. Right.
Starting point is 01:34:38 I do think it's possible to create a culture where people are motivated by passion and success for their mission, less so money. Yeah, it exists. Because at a certain point, like I know people who make a ton of money who literally don't care because they're like, my mission is I got to build this thing. Like I'm sure Elon Musk isn't focused. Elon Musk isn't thinking like, how can I make a billion dollars?
Starting point is 01:34:58 He's thinking, how can I get to Mars? How can I occupy Mars? Exactly. He's very blunt about it. However, Elon Musk is a man with a mission. True. And Exactly. He's very blunt about it. That's what he wants. However, Elon Musk is a man with a mission. True. And vision.
Starting point is 01:35:09 That's true. And he worked really, really hard to make this money and succeed, and now he can do it. If you create a society where everybody gets paid the same, like in communism, how would you get the visionaries like Elon Musk to actually be in that position to fund a rocket mission? Well, on an even more basic level than that, why would you study so hard as to become something like a doctor? Like, why would you, well, why would you want to do something that's really hard and has a really high... I don't agree with that.
Starting point is 01:35:33 Well, that's... No, she makes a good point, though. That's the inverse, though. That is the person who wants to learn how to save people, so they're going to push themselves to become a doctor so that that's what they're doing. Even if they're getting paid the same,'re still they have the the that's what i'm saying the benefit of getting you know the reason why people love of saving someone the
Starting point is 01:35:53 reason why people would want to do a job even if it was harder to get to that job's position is because they're passionate about being a doctor right like i always wanted to be a doctor i'll do whatever it takes but that's not that's that's that's. Being a doctor, like, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Sure. But that still doesn't take away the fact that there's all the jobs that – who's going to be the garbage guy? Right. I say garbage guy.
Starting point is 01:36:14 The garbage human. You know what you're going to do? Garbage person. The garbage person. It's really simple. This is what really, really bothers me about you capitalists. In our communist utopia when someone when we need someone to take out the trash and be the garbage man i just pull
Starting point is 01:36:29 out my glock and i point at them and say get on your knees and take the trash out otherwise to the gulag with you okay problem solved then we have our utopia that seems like that'll work and once we force people to do the jobs that no one else wants to do, there will be peace. Oh, man. Utopia. You see, that's the issue. In a capitalist system, people say, I don't want to take the trash out. And then you go, I'll give you $100, and they'll go, I'll take the trash out.
Starting point is 01:36:54 There you go. Boom. Yeah. Incentive. Exactly. That's why I think a mixed economy makes sense. That's why communism just will never work. Got the wrong kind of human. Because you need a gun.
Starting point is 01:37:03 And there's always going to be the person that thinks that they don't need to do that. That they're the ones who knows how to do everything better, how to fix it all or organize and manage. Actually, John over there, he's the best at taking the trash out. So John's going to be the trash guy now. You know what I hear pays a ton of money? What? Crime scene cleanup. Really? Yeah, you know why? Because it's hard to get blood out guy now. You know what I hear pays a ton of money? What? Crime scene cleanup. Really?
Starting point is 01:37:25 Yeah, you know why? Because it's hard to get blood out, maybe? Brain matter and skull bits. Yeah, that's why. And you're going to be on the ground being like, let me try and get this big brain fragment out of the carpet. Oh, that's tough. Gross. Crime scene cleanup pays a lot.
Starting point is 01:37:37 Huh. And how many people are willing to do that and want to see? I wouldn't want to do that. Dude, people have no idea what it's like a dead body you know you know um you know what happens when you die right yes brigham artist no when when when all the smooth muscle just relax relaxes the gases you void your bowels oh yeah so then they bring in these people who have these kits and full hazmat suits and you get paid a pretty penny because nobody wants to do it unless you get paid good enough.
Starting point is 01:38:06 I remember when I was a lot younger, there was an advertisement for it saying it was like $100, $150 an hour because that's what you got to pay when you get someone to come in and clean up a corpse. Yeah. And you got to – yeah, man. So that's – at least people are willing to do it because they feel like they'll be rewarded for it. But in the communist system, I really don't believe you'll have an easy time finding someone passionate about waiting around in sewers. Reminds me of Waterworld.
Starting point is 01:38:34 Remember the guy who was in the oil tank? Yeah, he's one of my favorites. So in the movie Waterworld, they have an oil tanker and there's a guy who tests his job to tell him how much oil they have. So he's just in a little boat in oil yeah in the oil tank and then when he calls for help the guy spits on him he goes thank you like good luck finding somebody who's going to do this job all right we got to read super chats okay yes it's time we got a super chat here from commander
Starting point is 01:39:00 232 he says adam much respect to you for grinding the research. I get inundated with text every day from work with updates because I am an FPS officer, so I know how you feel. I just want to give up some days, but I can't because I also serve in the Army and the oath I swore. Thank you for that, and thank you for serving. Right on. Appreciate that. Xander says, dude, I smoked a bunch of weed and listening to Tim cast IRL and it's crazy.
Starting point is 01:39:27 Spoofo. He said spoofo. I get it. Spoofo. I speak that language. Alpha Zero Omega says, been following Tim since around the Milo fiasco at Berkeley. He is a fine example of where hard work and dedication can get you in a free country. I appreciate all of you and I'm glad that you are committed to doing what you do power to you thank you very much good sir for supporting the channel villa music dude oh this is two of two so we got where's where's one
Starting point is 01:39:53 of two they didn't pop up huh two of two all right i'm i guess we'll have to find it that's gonna be difficult youtube does it sometimes all right well we'll come back to this deplorable pirate captain gun captain Gunbeard says, Dear commies of all genders, red, yellow, black, white, you all have the same vital hit points, isn't equality grand? Thank you very much. You know what I forgot to say? If you haven't already and you want to jump in some super chats,
Starting point is 01:40:17 feel free to do so. We'll try to raise them as we can. But also, Adam? I'm rather subdued right now. It's been a heavy episode. It's been a heavy day for me. You want me to yell? Yeah, you do it.
Starting point is 01:40:30 Smash the like button. That's pretty good. That wasn't even a yell. That was like a rock growl. Yeah, man. Smash the like button. But in all honesty, though, smash the like button. Do it for me.
Starting point is 01:40:43 Do it for me. Do it for Lydia over there. That's right. Do it for Tim. I appreciate it. Do it for all three of us. Oh, yeah yes do it for me do it for me do it for lydia over there that's right do it for tim i appreciate it do it for all three of us oh yeah do it for yourself make you feel good you owe yourself a smash well you should all biden like button oh come up right behind it put your arms around that like button oh my goodness Get a nice little sniff. Inhale deeply. Joe Biden. Binding the UFO there. Binding the UFO here. All right, let's see. Wugnut Man has put in a request already to play Melancholy Hellhounds. Oh.
Starting point is 01:41:14 Oh, wow. We have an official request. Request, yeah. That's cool. That one's good. I'll play it. I'm going to do it. He requested it.
Starting point is 01:41:21 I'll play it. That'll be the first thing I play. Talks Too Munch says, You should invite Andrew Schultz from the Brilliant Idiots podcast onto the show or consider going on his podcast. I think there's a lot of topics you could discuss and it could be a great conversation. That dude is hilarious.
Starting point is 01:41:35 Hilarious. Joseph Spiro says, Tim keeps saying anyone can start standing up against what's going on, saying if everyone stood up at the same time that it'd have an impact, only influential leaders can synchronize behavior like that. You are correct, which is why it requires a cultural movement of people just deciding right now, no matter what, no matter what I risk, no matter what I lose, I will stand up. Remember when Trump tweeted kafifi? And you know
Starting point is 01:42:01 what people claimed it meant? What? I will stand. Yes. That's what they were claiming it meant. Really? Yeah. So weird. They were like, it's actually Arabic for I will stand. And it was supposedly saying something like, despite the negative press. Coverage. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:42:13 They were claiming that covfefe was Arabic for I will stand. And that what Trump was saying is, despite the negative press, I will stand. And it was like the stupidest thing I'd ever heard. The dude mashed some buttons on accident and accidentally pressed send. That's what happened. I like that. And then when everyone went nuts on Covfefe, he rolled with it and it was hilarious.
Starting point is 01:42:30 Yep. But anyway. We got a large super chat here from Drew38. He says, hey guys, Tim's part Asian, just in case you didn't know. I did just hear that. Is that confirmed? Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:42:43 I need to double check that. I need a newsguarded source on that. Newsguarded source. I'll take a newsguarded for that. Is that confirmed? Oh, no, I need to double check that. I need a newsguarded source on that. Newsguarded source. Yeah, I'll take a newsguarded for that. Quiet guitarist fan says, haven't super chatted in a while. Here's a cool 50 for your troubles. Recently started getting into the naked communist. Talks a lot about the methods of Marxists and socialists.
Starting point is 01:42:59 Interesting read. Hope y'all are great. Smash the like button. Smash it. You'll do. Chad Jensen says says you are doing the lord's work you are a warrior tim thank you very much nathan trimmingham says hey y'all i'm looking into getting a longboard but i'm six four and three pounds any suggestions well i would my the
Starting point is 01:43:17 first thing i would always say is go to a store that sells longboards and try them all out but because that's not really the case that you can do right now um it would depend on your budget if you are just just look up long boards get get you know a wide base a longer wheel base so you don't want to get like a small board if you know you're clearly a big uh big person you just want you want to be comfortable on the board it's easier to find your balance on a skateboard, longboard, if it's a significantly longer board. So get something with a long wheelbase, and that'll make it much easier.
Starting point is 01:43:53 And something wide, you know, if you probably have a large shoe size, so it's easier to get your base on a bigger board. Red? Yeah. Arts Theo says, As a Cuban immigrant, I'd really hate for my family and I to jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.
Starting point is 01:44:09 Let me know if you want me to take a couple of libs on a real tour of Cuba. People still don't have running water there. Wow. Yeah, people don't know anything about what life is like outside of this country. I mean, obviously people do. I mean, these specific people.
Starting point is 01:44:21 Yeah, they clearly don't. Xander Klein says, dude, oh yeah, I read that one. That was a good one. All right, let's see what we got here. So Larth says anything, including labor is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. What someone deserves is completely subjective. I agree. I agree. Exactly. Villa music dude says one, let the free market to do what it is supposed to do. Stop bailing everyone out. Let debt liquidate, return to commodity currency. So government is forced to reduce. Stop bailing everyone out. Let debt liquidate. Return to commodity currency so government is forced to reduce spending. Remove price floors and ceilings. And then he says,
Starting point is 01:44:50 let demand do what it's supposed to do. Sound money, not fiat. Increased purchasing power. Short terms of capitalism are painful. But when you increase debt, you pull away resources that would help recover it faster to nonproductive sectors prolonging pain. Those are solid. Yeah, I hear you. That makes a lot of sense. Space Monkey says, brave new world. That's their vision. Justin Gillette says, Graham Hancock and many others have discussed the torrid meteor belt.
Starting point is 01:45:15 We passed through it twice a year. June and November, I believe. Tunguska in 1908. Possibly what hit Greenland 12,000 something years ago that caused the younger dry, uh, dry us also. Wow. Yikes, man. I look into that. Cool. Yeah. Ashley Torres says Antifa equals terrorists. They're under federal and military jurisdiction. Special special forces detained terrorists by Intel cyber command slash NSA, then give military tribunals terrorists forfeit constitutional rights and due process.
Starting point is 01:45:51 Domestic terrorists don't have American peers. I think the issue with domestic terrorism that they've said is that Americans have constitutional rights. And so if you're engaging in particular political messaging when you engage in inaction, it's free speech. But then I would question hate crime laws. If you're engaging in a speech, then how could that be regulated? Your intention, you know what I mean? In which case, wouldn't terror stand as well? The difference being hate is based on an immutable characteristic and terror being based on politics? I don't know. Not a lawyer. Irez TV says, Tim, I was raised conservative in Washington where everyone was blindly liberal and I never heard convincing arguments and remained Republican because it made sense to me. I found you. It actually brought me more to the left. I appreciate that y'all have the sense to be
Starting point is 01:46:31 intellectually honest. I guess, you know, the thing, the thing I think is I hate being wrong. You know what I mean? I do too. So I always want to make sure I have likes being wrong. Apparently there are a lot of people who have found that the easiest thing to do is pretend to be right. No, no, no. The difference is, though, they think they're right. They believe the core of their being that they're right. And that's an issue. That's why they look at anyone else that critical thinks that's willing to look at all sides as evil.
Starting point is 01:47:02 Because, whoa, whoa, whoa, you just don't instantly believe what I believe. You're evil, period. Because I'm right. It's a belief system. When you present them with evidence, they say, I don't need evidence. Right, and I hear that a lot. I've heard it a lot lately.
Starting point is 01:47:15 My thing is like, what's really challenging now is I want to make sure that I'm not wrong. Yeah. I don't want to deceive people. I want to know that I have my facts correct. And so I'll look for sources and try and verify them. But we're at a point now where sources are almost meaningless because like we talked about in this earlier segment, they just make things up. Storytellers. Pulling things out of context and just say what they want to say.
Starting point is 01:47:34 Yep. So now anyone can pull any source for anything. Dude, the fake news problem has reached critical mass. I agree. It's beyond just someone making a blog and lying. It's literally the point where CNN is lying nonstop all day because they know they can't compete with fake news websites. So think about it. There were a bunch of stories years ago about these dudes who made a blog that just wrote fake news all day about right-wing issues. Because they knew they would get shares,
Starting point is 01:48:01 they knew they'd make money. CNN realized no matter what they did, they would never compete with fake news. You can't. If CNN does a story that was real and it said, you know, Donald Trump shakes hand of, you know, Japanese prime minister. Now, who cares? And then these other companies know they could write a story where they said Donald Trump punches Japanese prime minister in the face and it would get a million shares and they didn't care if it was real or not. Yeah. CNN realized we'll lose because they can do this. They have a right to free speech and they can say it. What do we do? We got to get as close to the sun as possible without falling from the sky. So CNN said, let's play baby. Chris Cuomo lies about having COVID.
Starting point is 01:48:40 They just go straight for the fake news. Just make it up. Yeah. Jim Acosta, just make it up. And there's the money. And now the ratings are better than ever. Well, not really better than ever, but the ratings are actually up. So Jong the Great says, we need to reject the far left's agenda. It's not a real culture. There's a Korean saying that translates to, you don't avoid poop because it smells, you avoid it because it's disgusting spin the smash button ufo the like i love how the language is is corrupted around whatever this is supposed to mean i love it i'm okay with it the joker says i'm 35 and have two small kids eight and four and i fear for their
Starting point is 01:49:16 future all the debt we keep occurring accruing china these morons that that talk socialism most sane parents are terrified for our kids. Spin the UFO. I will spin it. I'll keep it spinning. I will spin it. It's okay. I will spin. I'll never deny it.
Starting point is 01:49:30 Despite the negative press coverage, I will spin the UFO. That's right. It's getting a little... There's a speed that'll kick it off. It's bouncing like crazy. I can't overspin. BearPost says,
Starting point is 01:49:40 Tim, Adam, and Lydia, please give $25 of this to the charity of your choice. Keep on doing what you are doing. I'd love to do that. All right. Your favorite. Oh, we just jumped.
Starting point is 01:49:49 What happened? We had a post and then YouTube decided to take it away. Well, it's gone. I'll take this time to just let everyone know tomorrow I'm going to be doing AdamCast IRL and I'm going to do a deep dive on Donald Trump. So we're going to talk about, me and Ian are going to talk about it, how he became as powerful as he is in the business world, you know, his family history, the things he's done for this country.
Starting point is 01:50:14 I'm going to just do a deep dive. When he decided to become a white supremacist and officially pledged. Anyway, so 8 p.m. tomorrow. Tune in. It's going to be a good episode. All right, here we go. Your favorite sociologist says, former decade-long Marxist socialist professor, 20-year activist, now voting Trump.
Starting point is 01:50:30 Whoa. Whoa. I know. Clearly, via social forum, Comic-Con meets. BLM is not about change but destabilization. I worry media will ignorantly promote support. They will.
Starting point is 01:50:42 They absolutely will because it's just cash. One of the pitfalls of capitalism is woke capitalism it's true baka says my friday night after this hard week's work is to sit on my couch in the home i own a drink whiskey and play civ 6 without the work the slacking wouldn't feel so good i hear you man all right let's see let's see leland thanks for the super chat. Winter Walker says, submitted a fraud claim with the Oregon, I believe it's Oregon, Secretary of State against Portland Mayor, Council, DA, and Gov for gross waste of public money. Com Hardesty said $7 million spent on the police overtime.
Starting point is 01:51:21 They can save us money by stopping the riots, but refuse to do it. Definitely, man. Let's see. Drew 38 gave us a super chat. Oh, it's message redacted. redacted oh wow it's gone i think we read that one anyway though bobcat says you were talking about how we need reliable clean energy and cheap access to space earlier i have a proposal to solve both problems that i would like to send you could you do a story on it once i get it sent it is possible but you should send it it to spin the UFO at gmail.com. Yep.
Starting point is 01:51:46 And then we'll check it out. And if you haven't already, make sure you subscribe to this channel right now. We do the show Monday through Friday live at 8 PM. You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and parlor at Tim cast. You can also follow at Adam Krigler on the same platforms and parlor.
Starting point is 01:52:00 Yep. I did say parlor. Oh, you did. Okay. I did. And you can also follow at sour patch lids. L Y D S parlor. I was thinking about parlor. I was like, we cannot forget to mention it? Yeah. I did say parlor. Oh, you did? Okay. I did. Sorry. And you can also follow at Sour Patch Lids, L-Y-D-S. Also on parlor.
Starting point is 01:52:07 I was thinking about parlor. I was like, we cannot forget to mention it. Yeah. Armchair Engineering says, Tim Pool should say, I'll get you next time, Gadget. Next time. In that low voice. I'll get you next time, Gadget. Next time.
Starting point is 01:52:20 Oh. Nice. That's pretty good. Edward Hughes says, hard work, rugged individualism. Drive to be number one. I think intersectionalists just declared Michael Jordan the whitest basketball player of all time. Oh, yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 01:52:33 Perhaps they did. Don't mess with Michael, man. Galandro Glade says, really appreciate you guys. You have a global influence. Keep up the great work. Appreciate it. Thank you. I mean, we're hearing crazy stories.
Starting point is 01:52:42 Like, you were telling me a crazy story about someone at work, like, secretly watching the podcast. Yeah, yeah. I'll tell it. Thank you. I mean, we're hearing crazy stories. Like you were telling me a crazy story about someone at work, like secretly watching the podcast. Yeah, yeah. I'll tell it. Yeah. So someone had to go ask their coworker a question about something. And I guess they walked up to their coworker and they quickly hid the phone away. They saw that they were watching videos, but they heard our voice, me and Tim's voice. And they were like, hey, are you watching TimCast IRL?
Starting point is 01:53:06 And they were like, oh, yeah. And they were like, you're not doing anything wrong. Fist bump. And walked back. I was like, yes. That's so awesome. You know what I was looking at? There's seeing like the amount of like growth that we're getting with the show
Starting point is 01:53:18 from everybody liking, subscribing, and sharing. I really do appreciate it. Like we've seen like tremendous growth. I think it's been now we're going on, man, it's only been like five and a half months, 420,000 subscribers. Yeah, thanks everybody. But what it gives me hope for is that
Starting point is 01:53:34 it's not the biggest channel in the world. We don't got 5 million, you know, but the growth suggests that there are moderate individuals, both slightly to the left, slightly to the right, that feel similarly to how we feel. Yep.
Starting point is 01:53:48 And are talking about it. Yeah. Are secretly watching, are concerned. And, like, these stories I hear make me feel like not only do people really like, you know, not only do people really like what we're saying, they agree with us in many respects. Disagree, obviously. But that some of these stories, there are a lot of people scared to admit it they're watching as as milquetoast a conversation as we're having it's not really milquetoast i mean it's it's more of a joke i don't i don't sit on the fence but listen we're
Starting point is 01:54:14 not a show where two guys wearing maga hats are screaming trump we're a show where you're like i'm gonna vote for trump because i did my research and i'm saying you know we'll see well let's talk about it yeah and that is not like a lot of these a lot of these conservative shows are overtly conservative Republican. Yeah. One way or the other. I think there's a lot of people who are in a similar position to where we are, where it's like either they're begrudgingly voting for Trump, have just decided to or recently converted as like mainstream liberals now realizing that Biden has no strength. He's gutless. He's giving in to the far left demands, which are insane and nobody wants. He is trying to defund the police.
Starting point is 01:54:47 He is? He is. Or at least he's so weak. He just says, I'll do whatever you say. Joe Biden doesn't want to defund the police. Fact check true. Joe Biden doesn't, but he's so spineless. He'll say he does.
Starting point is 01:54:59 How about that one? That could, that could be true. That's what I'm saying. I'm like listening to a speech. He just wanted to be Trump. He wanted to say everything that Trump was saying. But then he wasn't. He was converting it to his own weird leftist version of it.
Starting point is 01:55:13 It's like, what are you talking about? At a certain point, you've got to recognize the far left wants more than you can offer. Absolutely. They're not satisfied with what Biden's offering. But they think they can steamroll him. Yeah. So I'm hopeful. No, no. Not think. They know. They're not satisfied with what Biden's offering, but they think they can steamroll him. Yeah. So, you know, I'm hopeful. No, no.
Starting point is 01:55:27 Not think. They know. They said it. They straight up said it. Right. We can't manipulate the president who's in the office right now. We need Biden in there because he can be manipulated to the masses. Yep.
Starting point is 01:55:41 We can mass riot and he'll make changes for us. He's going to be sitting in a wheelchair with a blanket over his lap sitting in the sun and they're going to walk up and go, now we're going to abolish the police.
Starting point is 01:55:51 And he's going to go, oh yeah, just sign here. Oh, okay. He's going to sign it. Yep. Doop, doop, doop, doop, doop. And that's it.
Starting point is 01:55:59 All cops gone. I'm exaggerating. I know someone's going to be like, Tim Pool just said Joe Biden's going to abolish all the police. That's a joke. Well, they clearly don't watch the entire episode.
Starting point is 01:56:10 They're just looking for that gotcha line. That's true. Media. I'm so sick of that media. Will says, please play Motorhead if you could. We can't do covers, unfortunately. We can cover each other's music, but that's about it.
Starting point is 01:56:25 Kaleem Mims says, I know I've said this before about creating my own animation company, even though to be as big as Disney, which is a big goal, I have more respect for the people who do the gross jobs I wouldn't do. That's that South Park Bowls Movement joke, though. LOL. Yep. Yep. Kenny Jackson says,
Starting point is 01:56:45 Start watching Warrior Poet Society, Tactical Rifleman, and T-Rex Arms to get some good tips on becoming more proficient with firearms. Love the show. Stufo. Stufo! Not spoofo. I like it, though.
Starting point is 01:56:58 Spin the UFO. Yeah. Hashtag stufo. Let's do it. Robert Jorgensen says, Tim hates being wrong but is willing to be wrong. Oh, for sure. There's do it. Robert Jorgensen says, Tim hates being wrong, but is willing to be wrong. Oh, for sure.
Starting point is 01:57:07 There's something amazing about the ability to admit that you're wrong. People forgot that too. Right. They're so stuck in their pride that they can't even, they can't fathom it, you know, let alone admit it.
Starting point is 01:57:20 You know. Ego problems. Absolutely. You know what I think it is? Absolutely. I think it's because they don't actually feel confident in themselves. Yep, that's true. And so the only thing they have is I think it's because they don't actually feel confident in themselves. Yep, that's true.
Starting point is 01:57:26 And so the only thing they have is this fake image of who they are. Because for me, and again, I think it's skateboarding. When we skate, Adam was trying to do this run where he's trying to do a bunch of tricks in succession, right? And it gets increasingly difficult because you have to land all, like you were doing, what, four tricks? You got one, two, three, four. You have to do them all.
Starting point is 01:57:48 You have to do them all. If you mess up one, the whole line breaks. You can't lie. You know you did it and you're confident in yourself saying, I did it. It's a fact. It is an objective fact and everyone saw me do it. It took me three days. But if you have no real skill or provable, discernible, objective accomplishments, then the only thing you have to believe is this fake sense of self.
Starting point is 01:58:10 Yeah. There's no fake sense of self. You did it. I did. You landed the trick you wanted to do or the series of tricks. It felt amazing. I was elated. And so now-
Starting point is 01:58:20 Now, I feel like this is it. Like psychologically in your mind, if you were wrong, you're like, oh, because you already know that I can do what I set my mind to. I'm confident and comfortable in, like, what my abilities are. Yeah. Oh, I was wrong about that. Hey, how about that? Yeah. It doesn't affect your view of yourself.
Starting point is 01:58:35 You know you struggled to get this line done, and then you accomplished your goal. Yeah, exactly. Skateboarding is proof. And I think that lends itself to this worldview, I guess, that many of these of these lefties have no accomplishments they can't prove their value they're not the best at anything so that's why they get so angry when they're proven wrong because the only thing they have is their imaginary self i've got i've got i've got thoughts deep thoughts with simple yeah man like when i well when i go skate and i'm like today i'm gonna do this trick if i don't get it i know i'll try again later yep and then you know i'm trying to do right now nollie flip rock on the mini ramp and i'm getting close i know i can't land it i can't lie about that i can't go
Starting point is 01:59:14 hey adam i did it right you're gonna be like no you didn't no i would say all right let me see it yeah go do it prove it that's what that's what i say exactly prove it prove it to me that you did it so think about how this translates then you You know, in skateboarding, you film it to prove it. Yeah, that's true. And if you didn't, that's what poser, you're posing. You would put the board down and you would pose for it to lie. And people would know, it's not really doing it. On the internet, you claim, I know I'm right about this.
Starting point is 01:59:38 And the same response, prove it. No. Could you imagine? I don't need to prove it because I'm right. Imagine any sport where someone walks up, basketball, football, hockey, skateboarding, BMX, whatever, and they're like, I'm the best. I can do this special move. You'd be like, cool, let's see it.
Starting point is 01:59:55 No. What? Why did you tell me you could do it? Don't you want to show off? Yeah, like just don't say it. Just do it. It's like the old saying, those who know don't say and those just just don't say it just do it it's like the old saying those uh those who know don't say and those who say don't know yeah we have to actually incorporate the way sports
Starting point is 02:00:10 does things into into real life they pick the best of the best to be on their team yep they're not gonna they're not gonna dude imagine this picking you know an nba team a bunch of players yeah and they're like they're all chosen because they said they were better. Because of equality. So we want to know, before we sign you this team, are you the best? I am, in fact, the best. Then everyone else, yep. Can you show us?
Starting point is 02:00:33 No. Good enough for us. Welcome to the team. You've said you're the best. We believe it. They all come out. It's a match. It's like the Bulls versus this other team.
Starting point is 02:00:43 And the Bulls are playing. The SJWs. And the SJWs are on their arms crossed. And they're like, we don't have to prove we can actually play. Like, you demanding that of us. How dare you? That's bigoted. Whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 02:00:54 We don't actually play the game. No, no, wait, wait. We just win. It gets better. And then one of the players, like, after a few minutes of them all confused, one of the players walks over to one of the ref like, the refs and whispers to them. And the ref shrugs. And then all of a sudden their score goes to 100.
Starting point is 02:01:09 And they're like, they said they had 100 points. We asked for proof that they've scored. And they said they didn't need to prove it. So we're just changing the scoreboard. That feels like it's literally happening. It's true. We don't need to prove it. We're saying it's true.
Starting point is 02:01:20 Therefore, it is. And we're asking, like, can you prove it? Is that power? Nope. We're here to watch this the game be played no no no no no no the game is whiteness no no no right everybody everybody walks in the teams run out then they say okay everybody now leave everybody leaves and they come back and the scores are changed yeah and they're like just just we don't have to prove to you who actually
Starting point is 02:01:41 scored like this is like this is it done. Anyway, welcome to the show. We've got to bring back All Ball. Hope you're enjoying it. All Ball. Hashtag All Ball. We'll figure it out. The idea of All Ball was a sport where it's like, I guess the idea we had was like Hunger Games, where there's every ball, a football, a baseball, a softball, a basketball, a dodgeball,
Starting point is 02:01:59 and there's nets for them, and then everyone runs in and tries to grab them or something. Yeah, yeah. And then the dodgeballs would be like, you can get people out. Yeah, it's nets for them. Yep. And then everyone runs in and tries to grab them or something. Yeah, yeah. And then the dodgeballs would be like you can get people out. Yeah. It's like dodgeball. We got to do – you know what? I'm going to start a thread. You're going to start writing it down.
Starting point is 02:02:13 I'm going to start – no, no. Even better. I'm going to start a thread on Twitter and I'll throw one up on Parler too because I know a lot of people aren't on either or. And I'll just be like what should the game be? What should the rules be? All ball. But on the premise of it needs to have all the balls in the center of the court, we'll
Starting point is 02:02:32 just say the court, the center. And then on the outside, it's like a circle. We got a kind of a premise going already. Well, that means you need bases. Maybe. And you need. No, who knows? Well, you need a bat.
Starting point is 02:02:42 I don't know. There's a baseball. Let's discuss. We'll do it. I'll put it out. So let's let's discuss. You'll do it. I'll put it out. I'll put it up there. So there's gonna be a dodgeball. And that means if someone runs to have the football to throw it, then you hit him with
Starting point is 02:02:52 a dodgeball. They're out. Yeah. But then if he like throws the football and catches the dodgeball, his player comes back in. Oh, snap. And then someone pitches the baseball and someone's got a bat for some reason. I have no idea.
Starting point is 02:03:01 No, no, no. Because see, see, now we're getting into someone could get seriously injured. You can get injured playing any sport. Come on. I have no idea. No, no, no. Because see, now we're getting into someone could get seriously injured with a baseball. You can get injured playing any sport. Come on. I know, but I don't want to. The batter's in the batter box, man.
Starting point is 02:03:10 He's not running around swinging a bat. So someone could throw the football and he can try and hit the football through the field goal. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 02:03:17 Someone throws a dodgeball and he hits it and it bounces back. Clearly we need to deliberate about the rules of all ball. Some creative differences. All Ball.
Starting point is 02:03:28 Ladies and gentlemen, with that being said, Adam is cracking the whiskey. What that means? It means smash that like button. Oh my. Subscribe to the show for new live episodes
Starting point is 02:03:37 every Monday through Friday. And hit that like. Oh my goodness. The notification bell. Sorry, the notification bell. Ron Swanson knew what he was doing. Is it good stuff? Well, it smells good.
Starting point is 02:03:46 I haven't tried it yet, but he's one of the greatest TV characters ever. You guys know Ron Swanson. Yeah, but he's like actually- Lydia's over there like, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's got like raging TDS. Yeah, in real life, he's kind of terrible. Yeah, that's the actor.
Starting point is 02:03:59 I'm talking about the character Ron Swanson. The character is great. You know? My friends, I would say that the show is technically over, but the after party has just started. Oh, that's good. We're going to hang out a little bit more. Adam's going to set up the music,
Starting point is 02:04:14 and we're going to stick around for about another 26 or so minutes for the Friday night jam session. And that's what we do on Friday. So thanks for hanging out, everybody. As far as it goes with cultural talk, commentary, politics, that part is, for the most part, done. We're not just going to hang out. It's a Friday night, which means Adam is probably going to play a couple songs.
Starting point is 02:04:32 I think I might play one song. I don't even know what I would play. But yeah, we're going to play some music. And the important thing you need to know is that we're both actually the best there ever was. It's true. Both of them. We're the best.
Starting point is 02:04:44 But this time, we're actually going to prove it to you no we're going to jam we're we're i guess we're okay a lot of people like the music so we'll be uh we'll be hanging out and uh again thanks for thanks for hanging out you can still feel free to you know subscribe like super chat whatever while adam sets up that their microphone and is that no just jam just the just the the good mic that we normally use all right i'm gonna i'm gonna mute the audio real quick so i can plug this in And is that... No, just the good mic that we normally use. All right. I'm going to mute the audio real quick so I can plug this in.
Starting point is 02:05:21 Okay. And we're back. Because Adam is setting up the mic. Well, does it sound all right? It's giving me the mic. It's giving me fuzz. Yeah. It is certainly. Oh, we're good. I think it was because it was on this power cable right there.
Starting point is 02:05:41 Is it better? Yes, sir. Sounds good. And for those that are listening, we are very, very close to a large expansion where we're going to be having multiple studios. We're going to have a much, much better sound setup.
Starting point is 02:05:53 We're going to be building out and expanding. Basically, as we stated earlier with the fact that we gained almost half a million subs in five and a half months, things are going well enough for a decent expansion. So new shows, vlogging, all the good stuff. You gonna play Melancholy Hellhound?
Starting point is 02:06:13 Yeah, I'll play it. That was the request. guitar solo I just wanted to play that little ditty. What's up, everyone? I'm going to play... This is the first time we actually had a request from the audience which is kind of cool thank you for that super chat appreciate it
Starting point is 02:07:08 so I'm going to play Melancholy Halla this is one of my my jams it's one of the one of the songs I like to jam on and this Lagavalloon
Starting point is 02:07:17 I think I said it wrong I don't know it's amazing I've never had it before so this is it's incredible but it's the 16 year highly suggest it cheers to everybody
Starting point is 02:07:31 this is melancholy hell huh well I don't want your money I just want some wine Yeah, give me some of your honey I promise I'll take my time Oh, welcome to the heartache It always feels the same Yeah I find myself growing senseless to the pain Yeah, well I stretch and crawl

Starting point is 02:08:57 Yeah, it's like and crawl to figure it out But in the end you'll find me Oh, well, I still get the feeling Yeah, of judgmental eyes Only difference being, it's just not worth my time Cause I welcome all the heartache, oh it brings tears to my eyes Yeah Those tears remind me Remind me
Starting point is 02:09:53 I'm alive Yeah, alive Yeah, well I'll scratch and crawl to figure it out But in the end end it's just me Thank you everybody, cheers I'm gonna play a nameless song
Starting point is 02:10:16 You're gonna what? Play a nameless song Oh, he's coming over Untitled song I know, that's the problem with your songs I'm like, hey, what was that- Oh man! What's that song you were playing? I actually have a career that's not music related.
Starting point is 02:10:30 Oh, he's bringing the 12 string over. Yeah, cause I'm gonna play a song that's just chords, so I think, uh... Yeah, that's cool. Hello everyone! My name is Tim Pool. This is probably out of tune. Should I play with the 12? I could play with the 6. I'm going to play with the 6, I think,
Starting point is 02:10:50 because I'm not brave enough to do it. How are you guys doing? It's Friday night. This is what we do when we're bored. We play music. This song has... Oh, wait. This song does have a name. It's called Carved Out of Stone. Oh, well, there you go. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:21 Well, the ice is getting low And the days are getting longer I knew that we would make it on our own And true it's true enough That we'll never see another night Wide like this that I had seen with you when you promised to. This is not an idea I made up on my own. Won't you consider it?
Starting point is 02:12:01 The paper people unfold, their hearts are exposed More than you'd ever know, for so long as you know Well, the days have gotten short And the nights are getting longer Now our time has come to an end, we know But true, it's true enough That we worked it out together And the plans we made have brought us to our own road You told me that you know
Starting point is 02:12:54 This is not an idea you made up on your own Won't you consider it? The plastic people in molds whose hearts are controlled More than you'd ever know For so long as you know This is not an idea To dismiss on its own Once you consider it To carve yourself out of stone you must pave your own road into the wilderness the paths that you have paved and the prices you paid
Starting point is 02:14:05 Guide them in infinite And everyone who follows knows The path that you drove Brings them to their own end For so long As you know I'll give it up now to Adam. Are you all right, sir? All right.
Starting point is 02:14:52 Well, I pulled my fly up. It was down. I had no idea. Why didn't anyone tell me? I'm sorry. I didn't know. You didn't know? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 02:15:02 Well, it's probably best that you weren't noticing. Am I your flies keeper? Apparently. Honestly, I don't care. It's not like you can see anything, but whatever. So actually, it's interesting. Someone asked me last week to play a song. I think it was maybe on my show that they requested it.
Starting point is 02:15:23 No, maybe not. I don't remember when it was, but it's called Hindsight. And it's funny because it's the year 2020, and it's kind of the hook is involved about Hindsight's 2020. But it's not about craziness like that. This is about a friend of mine who was in a crazy relationship nonstop on the phone. And it was a mess.
Starting point is 02:15:44 But this is what that song is about so this is called hindsight oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i'm stuck answering all your phone calls, I'm stuck answering All your phone calls, mmm again Whoa again, again Always again Feels like I'm locked up in your phone calls nearly every single night I know we've had
Starting point is 02:16:30 this conversation at least a million times It's not my job to make sure that everything's alright I knew you were trouble Well, it's always 2020 when it's in your hindsight
Starting point is 02:16:46 oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm on the phone again I feel my mind slip away because we're still arguing I don't know what else to say So I hung up the phone Same routine every day With you With you With you
Starting point is 02:17:24 Always again Whoa, with you, with you, always again. Feels like I'm locked up in your phone calls nearly every single night. I know we've had this conversation at least a million times. It's not my job to make sure that everything's alright. Well, I knew you were trouble, well, it's always 20-20 when it's in your hindsight. It's always 20-20 when it's in your hindsight. I knew you were trouble Well It's always 2020 when it's
Starting point is 02:18:12 In your hindsight So that was for whoever requested that last week. Forgot about that request, so that was cool. I got the ultimate request. Tim's got a request. The ultimate one that's a big mistake. Uh-oh, it's the ultimate request. Exciting.
Starting point is 02:18:35 I'm good. The ultimate request. The one that's going to make me not be able to work for the next week. Oh, no. Is it Will of the People? Yeah. Don't do it. I can play anything else. I. Is it Will of the People? Yeah. Don't do it. I can play anything else.
Starting point is 02:18:46 I knew it was Will of the People. I can try and not blow up my vocal cords trying to sing this song. Technically, I could sing it for you. Oh, man. And play the guitar. I'm going to go for it. Play it out. Play it out.
Starting point is 02:18:56 So this is a song that was like, what, two or three weeks now. I had done six full belt recordings in the studio because we're currently working on an animation. This song is not necessarily about all the political goings on that we're experiencing. I wrote the song last year, but it really is apt to what we're seeing today, inspired by the last several years. The song is basically about the cycle of revolutions when every single person thinks that their fringe minority represents what people actually want and it's not true and the song is called the will of the people so I did like six full belt versions of it in like a half an hour or longer and then like that Friday I do The studio version's coming soon, though. Yeah, so I'll see if I can play it. Out on the march in the morning He called his soldiers down
Starting point is 02:20:13 To take aim at the traitors To gun those rebels down Now they'll face the consequences They held themselves above This is the will of the people He said
Starting point is 02:20:36 I wish I could spare them Make them see the path Tempting as that sounds, a laugh to pass and know what's needed for the good of the people to save them Out in the dark without without warning, he raised his fist above, let it cry to his people. The consequences They held themselves above This is the will of the people He said
Starting point is 02:21:32 I wish I could spare them Make them see the path Tempting as that sounds A laugh to pass I know what's needed For the good of my people to save them. Now drop your arms and march for them Against a wall And bow your head
Starting point is 02:22:10 Speak your last words Let them be said Out on the march in the morning, he called his comrades down To take aim at the traitors, to gun those fascists down Now they'll face the consequences They held themselves above, this is the will of the people He said I wish I could find it The way to restore peace
Starting point is 02:23:15 Blessed were those days We held in vain I'd give it all for a chance at redemption But the cycle turns again. You've seen it before, the blood pooling If you think it ends here, think again Yeah! Almost perfect. I messed up one part. All right.
Starting point is 02:24:25 We're like, save your voice, Tim, no! Yeah, that should be the last one. That's such a good song, though. I get overconfident. Did you turn the mics off over there? Because I was singing along. I might have... No, they're on.
Starting point is 02:24:38 I might have infiltrated that song a little bit. Because I was singing along. You were singing. I regret nothing. He's jamming. It's cool. There was a couple people in there that were asking me to play specific songs.
Starting point is 02:24:50 I played Find Yourself last week on this show, so I'm going to play that tomorrow night. AdamCast IRL, 8 p.m. Same as TimCast IRL. Tune in tomorrow. We're going to do a deep dive on Donald Trump and then me and Ian jam after the show. It's going to be great.
Starting point is 02:25:07 So I'll play that then. And then I saw another person ask for torn photographs, which I actually was thinking about playing anyway. So I'm going to play it. So this is torn photographs. I'm just going to check the tuning because I can't help myself. Okay, it sounds fine. This is Torn Photographs. I come home late I get the feeling you're still here
Starting point is 02:26:02 But you're not Don't you remember All of those things I did I did to prove to you All I wanted Was a little something In return You'd think you'd be better off without me
Starting point is 02:26:43 Baby, all I wanted was for you to be happy I guess I'm all out of luck cause you were my everything Oh and now I'm all torn up because now you're gone And obviously I'm alone With my thoughts and old torn photographs Of distant smiles on the floor As you walked out the door Distant smiles on the floor As you walked out the door I close my eyes Only to find that you're still here
Starting point is 02:28:07 A flashlight Oh, and one more memory slides to the floor Maybe I am better going on without you but that's gonna be so
Starting point is 02:28:38 hard cause you think you'd be better off without me Baby all I wanted was Cause you think you'd be better off without me Baby all I wanted was for you to be happy Oh I guess I'm all out of luck Cause you were my everything And now I'm all torn up the castle Now you're gone Oh, and obviously I'm alone
Starting point is 02:29:14 With my thoughts and old torn photographs Of distant smiles on the floor As you walked out the door All the pain That you caused me when you walked out It didn't stop me from putting All those pieces back together To see your face just one last time
Starting point is 02:29:56 Again Again Oh, yeah So that one's kind of heavy. So I actually wrote that for a good friend of mine back in Chicago who was just going through it, you know. He's coming over again. Dude, you're not going to lose your voice, are you? I hope not. I see the smile on his face.
Starting point is 02:30:50 I'm like, I think I can play one song. I've traveled a thousand miles in the dark Just to be with you And I've made it a thousand nights to your heart. Just to see it through. Maybe this is the only way I can justify my stay. Maybe I could trade you something For the words to say When you say never
Starting point is 02:31:51 If we stayed together Until we die We would only fight I'm saying just never forget What it was Only just because we let it die I've seen into the sky the broken shards Reflected in your eyes.
Starting point is 02:32:28 And I've traveled through the night to see the art of your lies. Maybe this is the only way I can justify my stay. Maybe I could trade you something for the words to say when you say never. If we stay together until we die, it'll be all right alright I'm saying let's never forget what it was Only just because we let it die Maybe this is the only way I could justify my sin Maybe I could trade you something for the words to say When you say never, if we stay together through the night it'll be alright just promise me you'll never forget what it was only just because we let it die Bye. I'm gonna play one more and then we're gonna be done. This one is a request from my mom,
Starting point is 02:34:25 who's watching right now. Hey mom, how you doing? Love you. This one's called, this one actually, it's got two versions of it. And I might as well, I'll play a little bit of the first version. I've been sitting here a long time, well,
Starting point is 02:34:44 move over, yeah So this was a little tiny ditty that I had And it was just talking about Sitting in one spot for a long time And someone coming by and telling you to move over And it's just like, who are you to tell me? I've been sitting here a long time But I wrote a full song about it
Starting point is 02:35:02 And it's totally different So I'm going to play the full I'm gonna play the full song. Cause I, I that's, that's what it is now. It's called, um, in the,
Starting point is 02:35:10 uh, the rubble of, or the, uh, a love stories remains. That's what it's called. A love stories remains. Well, hello, miss. I'd love to kiss your lovely name. Well hello miss
Starting point is 02:35:26 I'd love to kiss your lovely name The things I do To get you dancing in the rain I want a piece So say you want the same A love story remains I know we'll go through Some hard times
Starting point is 02:35:45 And I'll always be there if I can Oh, but there's a chance we're not like mine Oh, this love story may end I'm just being honest I'm just being honest, I'm just being honest with myself I'm gonna miss the way you kiss under the rain All the times you saved me but that love don't feel the same I wanted peace so you wanted me to change.
Starting point is 02:36:26 Only connected when you're calling out my name. I know we've been through some hard times. Oh, those times have helped me to find myself. Oh, honesty is my policy. Yeah, we might be better with someone else I'm just being honest I'm just being honest
Starting point is 02:36:52 with myself well come and sit let's take a trip down memory lane If I had to choose baby I wouldn't miss a thing Cause I found peace, oh look you found the same In the rubble of the remains Of love stories remains I found a peace of mind Love stories remain
Starting point is 02:37:26 I found a piece of mine Something you helped me find I wouldn't trade it for anything Just be honest Just be honest with yourself. Thank you very much, everybody. I'm going to head back over there. And this is the end of the music.

Starting point is 02:39:20 different shows different sets and we're going to set up we originally did have a space set up for the gaming set up we've never got to that point And we're going to set up. We originally did have a space set up for the gaming setup. We've never got to that point. Right.

Starting point is 02:39:37 Pinball machine is something you can do. You can drop that. I was the most excited there. You know, I brought my bowling ball here from Arizona when I moved here because we went bowling a few times and I was like getting hyped. I'm like, I'm about to join. Are you okay? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:39:51 You good? Oh, boy. Yeah. It's because you're not drinking the good stuff. That's why. Anyway, back to bowling. I'm disappointed. So when you drop this, like, we're going to have a bowling alley.
