Timcast IRL - Timcast IRL#253 - Biden Admin To Roll Out Vaccine Passport, GOP Says NO WAY w/Cassandra Fairbanks

Episode Date: March 30, 2021

Tim, Ian, and Lydia join friend and journalist Cassandra Fairbanks to discuss breaking news of forced Covid vaccination passports, side effects of the Astra-Zeneca vaccine that led to Canada pausing use, teachers in Virginia attempting to dox parents who disagree with them politically, and Nike's choice to sue the overly creative and controversial artist Lil Nas X.

Canada is suspending the rollout of one of the vaccines, I don't know which one, over fears about blood clots. So we're going to get into the specifics on that story. I want to be very careful with this because, you know, we want to make sure we're getting this data, these stories accurate. But in the bigger picture, the reason this is important is that the Biden administration is reportedly planning a rollout of a national COVID vaccine passport or just a general vaccine passport, I guess, because I'm willing to bet this app is going to include all of the vaccinations you've gotten, not just COVID. We'll see. In New York, they already have this. And a lot of people are angry, rightly so, because

even CNN compared it to Nazis demanding you show your papers. No joke. Fareed Zakaria actually showed a scene where a guy was like, give me your papers. And then he is like, I don't have them. And then the cops are coming or whatever. That's pretty intense when even CNN is bringing up that argument. But they had this ethical dilemma about whether or not vaccine passports are legit. And so we're gonna get into all of the deep philosophical and ethical questions around this. And I think it's fair to say when you've got countries that are issuing these warnings, when people with food allergies aren't supposed to get it, when pregnant women aren't supposed to get it, how are you going to roll out mandatory vaccines when you're also telling people why they shouldn't get it or

certain countries are putting in restrictions? That seems absolutely just nuts to me. But we'll get into all this. We've got some other stories. There's a school, apparently it's in Virginia, right? Yeah. Where apparently these teachers are getting doxxed because they oppose critical race theory. And it's people in the school who are, it's a crazy story. I mean, the level of indoctrination from critical race theory is just getting nuts. Even Sesame Street now is coming outright against Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision, which is kind of shocking to me. So we'll get into it. Joining us today, of course, is Cassandra Fairbanks. Hey, thanks for having me. Quick intro.

Just maybe, you know, a couple seconds. I write for Gateway Pundit. Irritate people on Twitter constantly. I don't know. That's about it. There you go. We got Ian Chilling. What's up, everybody?

Ian Crossland over here. Good to see you. Good to see you, Cassandra. And then me in the corner pushing buttons. We're going to have a great night tonight. That's right. And we have an amazing sponsor tonight. Everybody, let's give a shout out to PocketNet.app.

In the description below, you will see the link to PocketNet, a fully decentralized social media platform. They say, no corporation, open source, nobody can take your subscribers away. All advertising revenue goes directly to you as content creator. It is owned and self-policed by users like you. And these are all really, really smart things. One of the coolest things about this, they mentioned that it is totally decentralized. There's no central authority or corporation. The platform is run by equal nodes on a blockchain.

All revenue is split between node operators and content creators. Node operators stake pocket coin in order to mint blocks with rewards and transaction fees. Half of rewards in each block go to content creators based on ratings their content gathers from users. The reason why I'm stoked to have PocketNet as a sponsor is because we've often talked about the need for decentralizing social media. And it's one of the things we really want to implement too with TimCast.com. We want to incorporate some way that there can be a decentralized ability for individuals

to comment, speak their minds, have their opinions, and no one can ban them. I think the reality of social media is that you need to put the individuals in control of what they see. Now, Twitter does this. You can block people. But for some reason, there's an obsession with manipulating and controlling that flow of information, probably, in my opinion, for political gain. With a system like PocketNet,

totally decentralized, there is no boss. There's no one who could take that power. So it's pretty cool. So special shout out and thank you to PocketNet for sponsoring the show. Their link is in the description below. You can go to PocketNet.app and check it out. And also, don't forget, go to TimCast.com and become a member to get access to exclusive members-only segments where we talk with our guests about a bunch of, you know, things YouTube usually doesn't want us to, or sometimes we're just kind of weird with it. We talk about, like, DMT and God.

And recently we had Jeremy from The Quartering. We had Aaron Berg. We had Jody Shaw. We had Kurt Schlichter, Jack Murphy, comedian Chrissy Mayer. So make sure you go to TimCast.com, become a member, because this is how you support the show. And we're going to be rolling out a ton of amazing new content. I'm actually planning on hiring a news editor.

We're going to be hiring some writers. We're going to start making articles. And we're even thinking about doing TV shows, movies, short films, and just going absolutely nuts with it. So, again, go to TimCast.com, become a member. And I also want to give a quick mention for people who are curious about the specifics on what happened with Friday's show and being canceled. And there's no big conspiracy, there's no big controversy. Quite literally, there was some miscommunication. We had Jeremy from The Quartering.

Love him. He's an awesome dude. We were going to have him on for two nights in a row. But I guess at some point, someone gave him the wrong time to show up. And because we had already done a show with him, we kind of like exhaust a lot of what we want to talk about a lot of ideas. We needed to do pre-production. And I guess Jeremy was given the wrong time. So that's totally on us. We were the ones who told him where and when to be to be up here and be ready to go. And then by

the time we were getting set up to go, we had like only a few minutes to actually launch. And I was like, dude, I just I don't want to launch a show and be like, we don't know what we're doing. We don't know what we're talking about. So maybe it just doesn't make sense. And it's our fault. And so I want to apologize to Jeremy for, you know, that happening. It's totally our fault. That's all I can really say about it. But let's let's jump into the first story about Fox. I'm sorry, the Biden administration working with it's from Fox Business, the Biden administration working with industry to develop COVID-19 passports as vaccinations progress. Passports offer a glimpse of a future that many are longing for after months of COVID-19

restrictions. I really love that Fox is saying that people are longing for vaccine passports. Aren't you guys? Because, Kondra, Ian, don't you want to be able to have an app where they can know everything about you and you scan it if you want to go shopping? I'm really bummed that it's an app and not paper. It makes things a lot more difficult show me your papers no they're saying it's it will also be paper okay oh my god i think covet passports okay hold on this is like the social credit score in china right well so they implemented a similar system i'll just break it

down very simply for for those that don't know what it is you will have an app on your phone you will put in all your private information and then when when you get vaccinated, it will have that information. If you go to the store or you go to a theater or you go to an airline, they'll have an app. But you must scan it to prove you've gotten your vaccinations. I think COVID is just the beginning. How long until they're like, oh, if you want to go to the store, have you gotten, you know, your hep shot or something like that or your tetanus shot? Have you gotten your flu shot? Well, you got to have that and with the ease of an app like this the vaccine passport they're calling it and you know

walmart or whoever else can be like you know what everybody should get flu shots end of story so you better carry around your papers right yeah i don't i don't have a phone i don't carry paperwork around with me get off my back i'm just wondering how long it's going to take for a black market for for them to spring up on it. There's fake IDs. Yeah, I feel like people are going to have hacked apps. People are just going to jailbreak their phones and make their own apps. Medical tracking is terrifying. I mean, if they make it so you can't do anything without it, people are going to find a way to get it, even if they don't actually want to get the vaccine or if they can't.

Think about how crazy that's going to be, though. You can't go to Walmart unless you have an app you can scan on the way in. So what about somebody who doesn't own a phone, right? Let's say you're really, really poor. You can't even get any kind of smartphone, even though there's some pretty cheap ones. You can't get it. And then you got to go to a place to issue a vaccine passport from a certain place on a card.

They say that voter ID is racist because poor people and minorities struggle to go to the dmv and i'm like dude the dmv has been around for literally ever everybody can ask someone yo where's the dmv at if you if you if you went outside right now and walked up to a random person said hey where can i get a vaccine they're like i don't know so you think poor people and these people you believe are underprivileged are gonna have an easy time figuring out how to navigate the system. Now they're creating some kind of like caste system. This is like when polio, the vaccine, people wanted that vaccine because polio is crippling people. It's terrifying.

It's deadly. It's devastating. So people wanted it. You didn't have to force them to get it and track to make sure they got it. Like people were just getting it because they needed it. They wanted it. This vaccine that's in is a 99.97% recovery rate. This COVID thing.

I don't think a vaccine is necessary, especially ones that are accessing blood clots. For older people. Maybe for older people. Yeah. Maybe. But it's still so early in the process that they rushed it out in like six months. This vaccine's been out. I'm not super opposed to the rushing process.

I'm concerned about the non-approval process. You know what I mean? That as well, yeah. So the FDA hasn't approved this yet. Yeah, both of those things concern me. I think that the rush is scary. I mean, we don't know what the lasting effects of any of this stuff will be. We don't even know what the lasting effects of COVID will be.

So just all of it, the rush, the lack of, you know, testing and approval, I just it freaks me out. And I'm very pro vaccines. I'm not like anti-vax at all. I just think that people are rushing into this stuff. Yes. But I was reading about the approval process from the FDA.

Did you know it's something like it's something like six months to get to get legitimate hard fda approval yeah so it's probably it's going to be approved soon so that's why a lot of people are like well it's an emergency use authorization i think that matters because they now you got canada talking about blood clots or whatever it definitely matters but i'd like to see fda approval you know what i mean like i don't think that's unreasonable for me to be like, yo, you know, I don't think it's fair. New York's already rolling out the passports.

Here's the bigger problem. It's not the government doing it. Biden's got a plan. Biden's working with industry, but they can't force anybody to do anything. What's going to happen is you're not going to be able to board a plane. You're not going to be able to buy a ticket from Ticketmaster or or whatever they're going to it's going to be social enforcement in the private sector that's going to make all this happen like masks for instance what happened in texas when they were like yo we're done with this there was like some some chain of grocery stores something

that said nope you still got to do it i think walmart was like nope you still got to wear masks their um infection rates are going way down though right now yep yeah so everything is just crazy it's like i don't know i live in the woods up on a mountain i interact with like four people a week like i i'm just like i don't really feel like i need anything like this like we're fine we're up in the mountain you guys can do your things in the city. But yeah, so what about in cities, though? What if they said vaccine passports only in the city and not in the mountains? I mean, I don't care. I don't want to go to cities. I hate going to cities. So I'll stay up on the mountain. You guys can get your papers down there. When did you used to live in big cities? Yeah, I hate them. I like what happened. So I haven't been back to a city since I moved to Westridge, or I hadn't until last week because I had to take my cat to an emergency vet and it was a whole thing.

But he had to go get surgery in Richmond. And I went there and I was like, wow, this is like The Walking Dead or something. Like apocalyptic? Yeah, it was just everybody's walking around masks they're all like i don't know it's just really weird because i hadn't for the past almost a year i've been up you know in the mountain you know where where i am pretty isolated like we go to the country store nobody wears a mask we try to buy a bunch of right wing nut jobs yeah i love my right wing nut job community but uh yeah everything's like normal

like you have to wear a mask if you go to like the big chain stores like if you go to walmart or something but if you go to like the local nursery or the country store you're not going to see people wearing masks and they're going to get looked at funny if you if they do they tell people take them off yeah they're like you should take that mask off yeah and i'm like well it's your business you know what i mean like that's that's interesting thing about the whole mask thing like what if a business tells you you can't wear masks and people are like well it's like my my view is the private business man if if it's that's the challenge with a lot of this passport stuff is that it's social enforcement yeah if every business is saying we all do this then what do you do yeah i guess you

just get your passport right that's what makes me think this bad information is freaky like flu numbers are down covid numbers are up is that right like they were the flu numbers were way down but those covid numbers were way up and they were like oh equal amounts of deaths is normal but this time it's no flu deaths it's all covid deaths yeah but that could be spurious correlation maybe Maybe. Could be. That's the thing. They don't know, but they want to force a vaccine. It's crazy. But I'll say this.

So one of the things that they've been saying for a long time is that locking people inside their homes is a mistake because COVID transmits easier indoors. So it could be that putting people in their house makes flu go down, but then spreads COVID easier. So it was like the dumbest thing they could have done. But not, you know, yeah, I think that's like a simple solution, I suppose. But when you have in Europe, they were like, if you're pregnant, don't get it. If you have food allergies, don't get it. And I'm like, okay, I won't. You know what I mean? I'll chill. I'm not in a rush. I think something like 50%

of people said they're willing to just wait and take it easy. That's what's really interesting when Fox runs a story and they're like, everyone's longing for this, you know, reopening. I'm like, most people said they're willing to wait on the vaccine because their concerns about, you know, potential long term effects that haven't been studied properly. Yeah, I might be in like a weird right wing bubble because like my community are all, you know, normal, sane people who are not freaking out about anything. And but I'm, I'm perfectly happy not getting a passport staying on my mountain my garden ordering yeah everything gets delivered to my house i don't even go grocery shopping so it's like okay you guys enjoy your passports

living in the mountains so here's the crazy thing though virginia's red i mean i'm sorry west virginia's red and virginia's blue like like like, even right where West Virginia and Virginia kind of meet. It's crazy how I've gone out there to see like Trump signs everywhere. And I feel really bad for them, actually, because it's like they don't get a vote. West Virginia actually, I think it was about a year ago, offered to take those counties into West Virginia because it sucks for them. Like they're all pro-gun. They're, you know, right wing and they're being represented by the people who work in D.C. and live in the cities that are close to D.C. And you know why they don't want to live in DC?

Because it's horrible. Because they're racist. Oh. Yeah, I think I absolutely think it's because most of these well-to-do progressive liberal types are super racist. They don't want to live in the cities that they've destroyed with their policies. Like DC has a very, very high percentage of Black residents. It's no surprise then the people who live, who work in D.C. and run D.C. decide to move

out of D.C. They don't want to. This is what happens. And now Virginia is turning blue across the board. And then they're not going to want to live there in a year or two. And they're going to move to Maryland or they're going to move south and go to North Carolina or something and slowly keep moving away from the things they keep voting for. One of the funny things about West Virginia is I see these stories where I was talking to a guy at

a gun shop and he was like, you can tell who the liberals are like when they're moving in because they complain about mountain things that no one like no conservative cares about. Yeah. So like, you know, someone said my neighbor left their trash out and I why are they doing this? You know, what do I got to do to make them pick their trash in? And everyone's like, who cares? My local community Facebook group is always like joking about that. Whenever somebody new moves in, they'll be like, are you guys allowed to be shooting guns as close to people's houses?

And they're like, welcome to the mountain. Get ready for the UTVs and ATVs too. People you'll see some people driving around in rascals with a couple of ars like american flag shout out to the united states because i used to live in first i was in the suburbs grew up then i went to the cities and lived that part of my life and now in the mountains it's like another world it's another world it's like another country we got this race car it's like super nice race car And we've got these two foot quarter pipes in the parking lot. And we just bought it.

And we're kind of like, we can do whatever we want. So we just, this thing can go 60 miles an hour. Oh my gosh. We just launched the thing like 25 feet in the air. It's flipping around and smashes the ground. It's bouncing. And we're like, probably going to break it. Just laughing.

But you can do that out here. Yeah. So that's the crazy thing too. Like all the whole time with COVID, I've been saying that since, you know, when COVID started, we were in the Philadelphia area. That was actually really scary. Yeah. You're surrounded by all these people. And then you get told like Donald Trump appears on TV and he's like, I'm shutting down travel to Europe and all this stuff.

And we were like, damn, this is serious. And we were worried, too, because like the supply shortage, the toilet paper was gone. Like our local Walmart toilet paper all gone. The neighbor bounced. Like the one neighbor. Yeah, the neighbor was gone for like two months. And then when the storm blew like the fence off, it was just down. They just abandoned their house for like two months.

They took off. I think it was longer than that. Probably. It's freaky. It was like all summer. So then we ended up moving out to the middle of nowhere. It's like paradise. People just go about their business like normal.

You go down to like the local shop nobody nobody hassles you i just want to say though we also have bigfoot people play their banjos really loud all night there's a lot of shooting like things in their front yards um confederate flags everywhere leftists don't move don't move to west virginia you will hate it it's awful um and that is all just had to throw that in so that's so i tweeted i tweeted uh i don't know if you saw the story like lindsey graham said he has an ar-15 you see that he's like doing an interview and he's like i got an ar-15 and you know if it i forgot what he said if like it goes all if it all goes bad or whatever the gangs whatever, this is the last place the gangs will go because I can defend myself.

And so I tweeted, Lindsay is an AR-15 pathetic. We should ban AR-15s outright, completely. And then the government should issue everyone a Barrett M82, 50 BMG semi-automatic anti-material rifle. Then you'll truly... I'm kidding, by the way.

But, you know, that's the thing about west virginia is that well so i've been buying a lot of bullets because you know first of all they're hard to get and then people were saying you know you want to have like a thousand rounds per gun it's like a good amount yeah to have to have on store and people got to realize this too i'm sure to people who don't know anything about guns a thousand rounds sounds like a lot because it did to me when i was first buying guns you go to the range one time and you're like oh i get it now yeah go through like 120 really quick or something real quick i mean if you're with your friends and

you're practicing you're doing training you're gonna go through you know a decent amount of rounds quickly so a thousand rounds might you know be a couple months of practicing at the range if you want to take it seriously a lot of people don't shoot that much but for hunting people might shoot a couple times well so, so I started buying bullets. And I was like, I was talking to a guy at the shop. And I was like, I'm getting a bunch of 12-gauge. And I was like, is this too much? Does this notify anybody?

He started laughing. And he goes like, you think you're anywhere close to Prepper territory or even West Virginia resident territory? He's like, come on, man. Those are rookie numbers. You got to pump those numbers up. I'm like, all right, I'll take what you got. got put them in the box and then i got like a huge box of 12 gauge i guess but it does go quick you know but anyway i digress we're talking about covid sorry i'm a west virginia fangirl apologies and i like ammo i'm talking about ammo oh what were

you gonna say no sorry like um i brought this up before you play fallout you know caps bottle caps is the currency of the future after the nuclear war. I think that ammo, it would just be ammo. So you use your ammo or you trade your ammo. The ammo has weight. I think that would be a great modification for the game. Super valuable. Yeah.

Insanely valuable. In another game I'm playing, it's water as the currency. So you carry that around and trade fresh water. Yeah, but it depends, I suppose. Fresh water is probably... But you're not going to be carrying lots of water. It's heavy. That's the problem.

Cigarettes and whiskey too. Yeah. So you can find like metal, copper and stuff, but ammo. Cigarettes is a good one. Yeah. And alcohol. Antibiotics. Yes.

Bitcoin, because people will still have phones. I'm kidding. I have one. No. No. Yeah. I don't know. Stuff that disappears after you use it.

It's hard to know, actually, because water makes sense, but you can't carry a lot of water around with you. You can carry enough for personal use. You carry too much and then you can't you're actually exerting water to carry the water it's a great currency model for a video game because of the weight plus if you're carrying a big thing of water on like a wagon like you're you're a target yeah those roving bands are going to show up you have to hide it somehow so maybe not water but bolts make sense you know you'll bullets for sure also heavy but i can't imagine that maybe casings because bullets you got to use you don't want to give those up they're too valuable

like too valuable dude the apocalypse happens and you've got just like five nine millimeter for your gun you're going to be like i will never give these things up you know i would never want to fire them that's why i train with the bow and arrow because i don't want to waste my ammo yeah all right let's check this out. Let's talk about some serious COVID stuff right now, because this one's probably going to get us a little bit in trouble on YouTube. Daily Mail reports, is this the link between AstraZeneca's COVID vaccine and blood clots? Shot may trigger an immune response that leads to the life-threatening side effect in rare

cases, study claims. They say about 30 cases of blood clots among people who got a dose of AstraZeneca's vaccine were reported in Europe. German researchers found signs of antibodies that attack platelets in the blood of nine people who developed clots after getting the shot. These antibodies destroy the platelets to make up for the loss. The body overproduces platelets, causing them to clot. The team says that if their hypothesis is correct, the reaction can be identified and

easily treated by medical professionals. More than 20 European countries paused the use of AstraZeneca's shot this month and made clot fears, but subsequently resumed its use. Officials in the EU ruled the rate of clots was not above that in the general population. But Canada on Monday issued a pause on the use of vaccine for under 55s, citing concern over clots. This is the kind of stuff that freaks me out because we've seen a bunch of stories. And this is what pisses me off.

A bunch of stories where they're like, man gets shot shortly after dies. And then you read the story. It's like one month later, he died and he was 75 years old. And I'm like, come on, man. Like, dude, we really need to know about this stuff. And you got a bunch of media that wants to just freak us out and scare us this is legit though and i wouldn't be surprised if youtube gets mad at us for even talking about it but this is a legit newsguard certified source daily mail and they're saying in europe they suspended it briefly in canada they're suspending it

so i don't know what you guys think about this but this to me i think you know they're going to go after people calling them anti-vax if they bring anything like this up. And that's the more dangerous thing, in my opinion. Yeah, because, I mean, it's a real thing that's happening. The governments are having to suspend it. But then if you're critical of it or if you're skeptical or if you're nervous about taking it yourself, then you're this like crazy anti-vax monster who believes disinformation and you can't even discuss it so everybody's like hiding in shame being like freaked out about this thing and nobody can even talk about it vaccines are amazing amazing technology but if they're misused they're

super dangerous and can kill people so that's why they have all this massive testing and they make them go through years of trials and stuff why would you ever want to put yourself in a position where you might get blood clots for something unless that thing is super deadly and like gonna like gonna cripple you or something what we what we have to look at is the rate at which people got blood clots and the covet survival rate for someone who's under 55 i gotta tell you i don't see a reason why people who are under 55 should be taking a medication that's been suspended by the government. If Canada says don't take it, then the people in Canada probably can't do it, which means

the passport thing, the whole vaccine passport thing is broken. It's not going to work. The survival rate for people under 55, I think, is what, like 99.995 or some really, really high number. It's super high. Young people are not being negatively impacted by this. It's almost like a large voting block of older people are worried about this and pushing for this.

And that's kind of like been the narrative for most of my life. Older people wanted Social Security, so they voted to put money into it. Then they take from it. The system collapses. It's always been like... Jeez, look at Congress. They're all like, not all of them, but a lot of them are over 70. I mean, Nancy Pelosi is what she's 80, right? Yeah, it's super old, a very broken system when you're sacrificing your children to save the old. I everybody's gonna call me a monster for saying that, I guess. But our children are committing suicide at super high rates right now. They're

suffering from depression. They're, you know, abused children are stuck at home and not seeing teachers who could get them out of that situation. There's all these like horrible, negative effects of what they're doing for children right now. And I mean, all of this is comes down to people who are older are afraid. And so we're sacrificing our youth in multiple ways. We've seen these videos of the kids sitting at their desks and they're six feet apart and surrounded by plexiglass. It's horrible. These kids are going to be very, very developmentally stunted. Did you see the mother giving birth and there's a plastic tarp between her and the baby and she like squeezes the baby against the plastic baby's like in its face smushed on

the plastic i thought i thought babies and like the super young were not were like fine like covid wasn't affecting them they like kids in schools weren't being affected or whatever yeah people are living in terror and they're being irrational these stories i'll tell you the big problem is that a sane and rational population would say, hey, you know, Canada is suspending this over blood clot fears. Should we consider something like that in the U.S. and look to these other countries in terms of their medical prowess and endeavors? I mean, we hear all the time from the left about the health care systems of these other countries being infinitely better than ours. There was recently a story where I guess like Norway was was calling the U u.s an underdeveloped medical uh system which is just ridiculous by the way it was clearly just the stupidest thing ever like you may talk about the payment systems being

screwed up in pharmaceutical companies and the way the money goes in the insurance companies fine but we got advanced technology here in terms of medicine but they were mocking the u.s saying underdeveloped it was like be wary of traveling the countries with underdeveloped health care systems for example the united states ha ha ha very funny yet tons of people come here for medication anyway the point is if we can't have a conversation about okay fine these other countries are taking this seriously then we're in trouble yeah and that's it It's almost as if we have an overly qualified medical. Basically, what I'm thinking about is potassium bromate, or I think it's bromide or bromate. It's a leavening agent in bread that causes cancer.

It's been known to be, what are they, carcinogenic? And most of Europe has banned it from their bread products, but the United States has not. So it's a big problem that the medical that the pharmaceutical chemical industry it has more sway than common sense sometimes what i'm saying is that i'm talking about the media i'm talking about the fact that we'll be like wow canada is suspending their their their you know vaccine for people under 55 they're gonna call us anti-vaxxers they're gonna insult and smear and say they were questioning it and it's like no dude and the leaving agent is obviously there's evidence that it's carcinogenic yet the media why would the media not be like well let's get it out of our bread products if it's causing cancer and they don't care

like that's that's not in the news cycle they want to sell that stuff brominated vegetable oils and like oh it's so bad for people too sure sure sure like evidently the media cares about protecting the status quo in the establishment there's no national conversation about bromine. There's a national conversation about covid and vaccines. And so they want to toe the line. They want to mimic the status quo and they want to write what other outlets write. And if they find you as an other, it'll work. I think the big problem, it's really annoying to me.

Are we are we really in the minority? Are we the silent majority? Which is it? Is this country 80% a bunch of really dumb people who are like, I'm not going to talk about anything and I'm going to sit here and plug my ears and just do whatever I'm told? Terrifyingly, the data says yes. I think that it's like 90 doesn't want it and that everybody has common sense about it that, you know, they think that people who are very elderly should take it and that people who are younger should not. And that's just like the common all the conversations that you have with people in my neighborhood. That's what it is and

then you see it online and everybody just acts like that's a completely crazy unreasonable fringe take so it it's very disconnected for me i don't know i saw something really funny today it was brian stelter from reliable sources asking if the national if the white house press corps like the the national press is out of sync with the american people or whatever. And I'm like, man, it took you this long. Wow. It's been like... Children who are wrong. Yeah, six years. It's the... Yeah. Are we out of sync? You know what I realize is

really funny? When there was a story in the New York Times about a party someone from the New York Times had been to a few years prior and they were like canceled over it or something and I'm like, what regular American is like, I'm going to turn to the New York Times for the important news. Janet went to a party three years ago and got canceled for being racist. Wow. That's the news I pay for, but people pay for it. Their subscribers, it's going up. They're

making more and more money. Journalists write about each other. And I'm like, who are you talking to? Yeah. What? Who is this? But you know what, man? It's frustrating because I was at, you know, we went out to a bar the other day and there was a guy who made a really great point. He said, look, the vaccine's here. It's available.

We're done. It should be over. If you don't want to get it, that's your problem. I'll be fine. Because he was like, he said he was getting the vaccine. And I'm like, totally agree. why should we have a vaccine passport system why should we mask mandate or any social distancing when the people who get the vaccines will be fine if someone chooses not to get it well then you're the one person who's going to get it nobody else will i don't understand the

logic the logic is if you don't get the vaccine and you carry it then you can transport it to other people or but if you're vaccinated, you're fine. According to Fauci, you may still need to wear a mask because you're not immune if you get the vaccine. You're not. What are you going to say about that? I wanted to speak to this because Fauci and Joe Biden, all these people are still wearing masks after they've gotten the vaccine. What is the point of getting a vaccine if nothing changes? I'm starting to feel like they're waging a war of demoralization

on the american people and this is still an idea in development because they don't understand why they're doing they don't know if the vaccine is effective we are the test they do they do they do know if it's effective i mean they've done numerous tests the issue is it is it is safety versus freedom it is easier for them to be like i would would rather just be safe. Peter Hitchens wrote this op-ed about getting the vaccine. And he was like, I got the vaccine and all it cost me was my freedom. And I'm like, look, man, I think the bigger issue is that there's no trust in our public institutions anymore. We're hyper polarized and we don't like each other. Because if we were actually a unified country combating this great villain,

we would be like, yes, we got to get everyone vaccinated. We'd be like cheering for it. It would be only a few people who oppose it. Yeah, exactly. Everyone comes together. Right. No, we're fractured. Nobody trusts each other. The media is garbage. They're like writing about each other and another nonsense. They write about, oh, no, Glenn Greenwald. We got to write about him now. Who cares? Stop writing about other nonsense. They write about, oh, no, Glenn Greenwald. We got to write about him now. Who cares? Stop writing about other people. That's the problem with a lot of it. The media really killed their credibility during the Trump administration. I mean, they were selling the American public a horror movie and now they don't have much else to write about. So they're trying to create all these villains and everybody's just like, what are you doing?

Like, none of this is relevant to me. and so when they do put out information about things like vaccines or covid people are skeptical rightly because for years we've been fed russiagate and all this crazy nonsense from the media the p-tape like all this stuff that's just like completely insane that they've been feeding us for so long how are you supposed to trust them when there's something actually serious? I look at this. Um, I agree with that. Russiagate was so stupid and didn't have evidence. I mean, or maybe it didn't have enough evidence to warrant that amount of what's her name?

It was a girl with a short hair. Yeah. Maddow's obsession with it for two years. It was like, you know, cried. Oh my God. But what I'm thinking about is level of cognitive dissonance also that we're looking at because I think that obesity is a big part of this epidemic. And like with 60% of people, what were these numbers?

I want to get this number right. Of people that have COVID are obese or 60% of people that are obese. That's insane. 78% of COVID patients were obese. Well, but look, you know, I'll add to this. People who are out of shape, unhealthy and sick are much more likely to die in general. And so you add in, you know, COVID, which is I think the mortality rate is like double the flu. So it's like substantially higher. And you're gonna get a ton of people who are who have comorbidities dying from this thing. And if they're like,

I don't want to stop drinking Pepsi. I don't want to stop eating red meat every night. But I want you to get a shot that may or may not work so that I can feel a little better. It's like, dude, take care of yourself. The issue is they believe the vaccines will work. However, it's easier just to say safety over freedom. That's why I always bring up that point from the guy in the bar who was like, we get the vaccine, it's on you now.

It's your responsibility. I'm like, that's a great point. He was pro-vax. He was bragging about how he was getting his COVID vaccine. He was really excited. And he was like, and now it's your problem because you're the one who's going to get sick, not me. And I'm like, that's right.

He's like a liberal guy. And I'm like, that's perfect logic. People have a choice to take care of themselves. They don't want to do it. Or, yeah. So the issue is when it comes to Fauci, when it comes to Biden, when it comes to all these companies, listen, imagine Walmart. They're being told everyone's doing a COVID passport or whatever. And they say, no, no, we're not going to do that because it's on the individual. Well, then somebody gets sick and then sues Walmart, right? Because you can sue

a ham sandwich. It doesn't mean you're going to win. So Walmart's like, it is easier just to go with the flow and do whatever we're told, because then at least we can have plausible deniability or reject liability in the event someone gets sick in our store. Then we'll just beg, oh, no, no, we have the passport. Everybody's supposed to be, you know? So I remember when I worked for Fusion, they made me do this hostile environment training, even though I had spent like several years already in hostile environments. And so it was fairly, there's some really cool aspects to it, fairly rudimentary, in my opinion, at least relevant to my experience. And I was like, I was talking to the people about why are they, you know, making me do this? I have extensive field experience in conflict and crisis. And they're like, well, you know, it's just good. And I went, insurance, isn't it? Well, you know.

Yeah, because if I get hurt and then I say, well, they didn't give me the proper training. So they're just like, it's easier to just make you do the stupid training course you don't need to do and waste the money and time. Because in the event you get hurt, we don't want to get sued. It's a big problem with corporations and insurance and all that is that they look at people like numbers and they just treat us like a math equation. I think we're seeing the same problem at two different levels we're seeing a lack of responsibility and people who refuse to take care of themselves and you're seeing a lack of responsibility responsibility from these companies who are like we're not having anything to do with it you know we're not going to assume any kind of responsibility for whatever happens here and they you know they don't want to be sued i get it at the same time it's like you need to

like have some kind of accountability like they'd rather poison i would imagine the corporate beast of walmart would rather poison the population than suffer a bankruptcy so i think about it this way when it comes to politics do you think any one of these politicians actually cares about you they not me because they don't know who i am no they can't care about you they don't even know me because when they look at the numbers look look, if it was an election between 100 people between, you know, and they're like, OK, you're going to vote for me as 100 people. I need to win 51 votes. You actually could care about each of those people because you can meet them and know

them and then actually convince them to vote for you. When it comes to a politician who needs 50,000 votes in a local election, they can't spend time knowing everybody. So they don't care. All of these systems have developed that way. Walmart, Target, whatever the store is, the movie theaters, they look at their numbers and they're like, we had 50,000 people come in this week to see a movie. We don't know who they are. We don't care who they are. A hundred of them got sick. Okay, we'll ban those people. I don't know. We don't know them. They're just numbers.

I'll put it this way. When, when I look at my YouTube video account, I see a number 250,000. I don't know any of the people who watch that. The number is meaningless to me. And when I look at analytics, I see this in a bunch of other news outlets. That's why the media becomes what it is. They don't care about the individual. They don't care about their ramifications.

Rachel Maddow says, Donald Trump, an agent of Russia. And then all of a sudden, she looks at the number and the number's bigger. And she's like, hey, look, it said 2.7. It says 3.1. We should do the same thing again. Not realizing that she was contributing to driving people insane. Now, I absolutely self-reflected on all of that stuff and was like, I don't know what the solution is if we're all genuinely having these opinions and we're talking about them. And in the end, many people are driven by looking at their analytics, every company, looking at their marketing numbers, every politician, not caring about the individual, just doing whatever it takes to make that number go up. But that means people are driven by confirmation bias. So this

is what happens to the media. Rachel Maddow is like, just keep saying the same thing over and over again. The numbers keep going up until they can't anymore. That's the reality here as well. When they're looking at, it's like a cost benefit, a cost risk analysis, you know? You ever see Fight Club where he's on the plane and he's like, if the cost of a lawsuit is less than the cost of a recall, We'll just take the lawsuit, basically. That's the way it works. So you look at Fauci, you look at the government and they're like.

The cost of forcing people to stay home is lower than the cost of the risk. Should something go bad? Just make everybody stay home. And we used to be we came from this group of people. And in fact, I'll tell you this. My props to all of the immigrants who are, you know, climbing mountains and riding trains and wandering through 90 miles of desert to get here. Because those people have more pioneer blood in them than most of these urban progressives and suburban uppity-do liberals who are like, I'd rather just be safe. Now, these people are like, I'm going to cross a mountain and rip my feet to shred and be abused and victimized by cartels.

But I'm coming to America for that American dream. I respect that a heck of a lot more than people who are like, I just want to be safe. It's like that meme, you know, of the Shiba Inu being all ripped and strong. And it's like, you know, colonists coming from Europe, dying on the boat halfway there, landing on a shore with nothing but trees and being like, I'm finding freedom. America today. Just keep me safe. That's what we get. Nah, that's my rant.

I think that the further you get from these things, the easier it becomes to shrug it off. I think part of the reason that Eastern Europe is still strong against communism is because they freaking remember. They remember what communism was like. And once they start to forget, it's all over. I mean, that was not even 30 years ago.

It wasn't that long ago. Yeah, Luke, who's been on the show frequently. I don't know where he is. Luke, you left all your steaks here. Luke! Your steaks are frozen, Luke. We bought all these Peter Luger steaks. You gotta get Peter Luger steaks.

He's like, save them for me. Keep them in the freezer. I'll buy them. All right? They're in the freezer, dude. But anyway, he was born in Soviet Poland. Thank God. That's part of why he's so awesome.

Poland was a satellite state of the Soviet Union, but he was born into that system. It's made of coal. And he left when he was a little kid. But I think it ended when he was very young. His parents and his uncles and aunts went through it pretty hardcore. Yeah. So he was told a lot about it. I don't think he saw with his own eyes.

I don't know if he saw horrors. He doesn't really talk about the horror a lot. You really got to kind of pry it out of him. I would, you know what I'd love to do? I'd love to do like an ancestry analysis of the people who support critical race theory and where their grandparents were during the civil rights movement. Because I got a feeling that there's going to be some correlation between the status quo loving uppity do anti-civil rights white folk and the critical race theorists of today either for one or two

reasons like it was a backlash these people you know or ashamed of their history and ancestry they're overtly racist their family's racist and so they're like yes they're going to come out and admit their racism and then do everything they can to recognize and acknowledge all of these racial issues and everything. I wonder about that because you mentioned, you know, for Luke, his parents told him about what it was like in communism. So he naturally hates it. So what about these uppity do critical race theory people? Did they learn about segregation or not that they're actually supporting it these days or actually i guess good using communist tactics which brings me to our next story check this out this is this

is where it gets just real crazy man daily mail reports cops investigate virginia teachers facebook group for naming parents who were against critical race theory and urging members to gather information on them. They say the anti-racist parents of Luton County group shared personal details of those they say had opposed moves to teach the controversial curriculum. I'm glad they're calling it controversial. It urged followers to, quote, gather information and silence critics of the theory. Others in the group encouraged people to share addresses and social media. According to Purdue University, critical race theory scholarship shows how racism continues to be persuasive and why it denies individuals their rights. Talk about double speak on that one.

That's nuts. But critics say it leaves people exposed to the training, feeling that they are being blamed for problems which they did not cause and that it itself is racially divisive. It's overtly racially discriminatory and racist. One parent on the list, Patty Mender, says I was personally attacked. LCPS interim superintendent Scott Ziegler said we fully support the expression of First Amendment rights and deplore any efforts to silence voices. I got a question. Who is the LCPS superintendent talking about right there? He says, we fully support the First Amendment and deplore efforts to silence voices. I'm guessing the teachers because the liberals run all the school boards. So, but wait, wait.

Is he defending the people who are being doxed because it was threatening to silence them? Doubt. Or is he defending, doubt, right? So he's defending the doxing. Right. Yeah, man. This is a cult. I would put money Doubt. Or is he defending... Doubt, right. So he's defending the doxing. Right. Yeah, man. This is a cult. I would put money on it.

This is a cult. Yeah. It's a cult, Ian. Dude. It's a cult. Because we haven't... We did have the civil rights. You're right.

And a lot of people weren't privy to it, unfortunately. But like United States has never been a totalitarian dictatorship. So there's this threat of us falling into it seamlessly and man it looks like looks like that's what that's what this is it but listen it's social enforcement this is the big thing that happens from the bottom up that's where it gets really creepy and then once people lose confidence in government which is literally happening i mean look at the six for, people are losing confidence in the system. And then you get a bottom up movement of cultists who are just the only thing they care about is being in their cult. Look, these people were posting for years, anti Asian sentiments all

over social media, all over the place. And then one day the tide shifted and the cult decided that was wrong now. And now they're trying to cancel themselves because some of them were posting anti-Asian stuff. There is no rule. There's no structure to this. It's literally just a cult. Man, at least with Christianity, there's a Bible and people can follow tenets and understand and read through it. And I certainly believe there are instances where people selectively will choose to follow or not follow some things. But there's literally a Bible. You can look at it. And I certainly believe there are instances where people selectively, you know, will choose to follow or not follow some things, but there's literally a Bible. You can look at it and yes, it's been retranslated and changed. And I'm critical of that. But for now in the United

States, the King James Bible, there you go. You read it, you know what it says. Could you imagine if one day they were like an editing board was just came out and they were like on page, you know, 232, we actually changed this one. You actually can eat shellfish now. We're good. Basically, that's what they did. The Council of Nicaea. I know, for sure. That's why I'm saying.

They twisted that thing. We can be critical of that. But at the very least, right now in the United States and for the past several generations, the Bible's been the Bible. Yep. For hundreds of years. Since King James twisted his own version into reality. But with critical race theories, it's not even written down.

At the very least, they had to translate it and argue about it, right? Yeah, I think the Black Lives Matter had like tenets on their web page that they stripped from the web page and they no longer have. That was kind of the Bible. I mean, that's the most...

Disrupting the nuclear family. Yeah. Check this out from the Daily Mail. San Francisco school board strips vice president of her leadership title and removes her from all committees over 2016 tweets calling Asians. I'm just I'm not going to repeat.

I'm not going to say the word racial disparaging racial term for black people, but she still refuses to resign. So this woman, this was her name. Allison is her name. Allison Collins and anti Asian tweets. Yes. Allison Collins. She posted that she wanted to have to give Asians a racial awakening. Total cult stuff.

And then she referred to them in a very racist and disparaging way, like outright using a racial slur. Now they're calling for her to resign. This is all sorts of screwed up for several reasons. For one, this is the vice president of a school board in San Francisco. The people who are indoctrinating your kids using racial slurs and then claiming to be anti-racist. That's why I mentioned, like, who are these people's parents and grandparents? Homeschool your kids. Yeah.

Yes. I think that we can't beat them by insulting them and calling them horrible for being racist. I just feel like the only way is to like – maybe it's so obnoxious to say this over and over again, but it's to create a better system. To be a pinnacle of what you believe in, which I think equality of opportunity of all of us, whatever we look like, I don't really care. And then roll around in that. But this is interesting to talk about too. Like I almost completely ignore this stuff in my daily life. and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then

and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then

and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then

and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then

and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then

and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then

and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then

and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then

and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then Right. They fester. You have to call it out. The problem is that the left is working really hard to get to children younger and younger. I mean, they're putting stuff on Sesame Street. They're getting critical race theory into elementary schools. They're doxing parents who are having wrong think. There is a school, I think, in North Carolina or South Carolina where they actually did a conference instructing parents to go up against, I mean, instructing the teachers to go up against and contradict the parents of the students. I mean, there's just all this stuff going on.

The left is targeting children with their agenda. And the right is largely like, we're going to lead by example. And we're going to, you know, we want to keep kids out of politics. We're going to take the high road. We're not going to stoop to their level. But we're losing because of it. That's a culture revolution. Having the kids indoctrinating them and then telling them to reject their parents.

Yeah. Hardcore culture revolution. I was like disgusted. I posted about it for Gateway. I forget the name of the reporter. He's doing amazing work on critical race theory stuff right now that's happening. But he had a whole report about this this conference and you read it and it's just like we're letting this happen i mean school board elections don't have party affiliation listed which i know you support but i don't because we're getting all these leftists who are going into red areas and they're deliberately

going in there so they can counter what the children are learning at home from their parents who are right wing. I hate it. That's a problem. But I think it's a bigger problem that people have given up on their civic responsibility. Right. So I think you agree with me on removing party affiliation. Big time, yeah.

I was just studying ancient Greece last night. I was telling you I was watching a visualization of virtualization of Athens and they were talking about the politics and they would take 50, 500 people from around every, like of all 50 from all the 10 areas of Attica, bring them to Greece,

to Athens. And then they would all be part of politics. And then 50 of those 500 would get chosen to be like the head of the council. This is everybody, every citizen, every, I think they were only males at the time,

but every citizen, male citizen, and they were all involved and they were all super excited to, like, adjudicate lawsuits about like people. Are they guilty? They were just so involved. Everyone was so involved in the politics of the day. I think we need that. So now what happens is you get these leftists, these Marxists.

They'll run and be on the school board. And then what people are going to be like, this person sounds nice and just vote for him. Well, the problem is, yes, all of this stuff would be great in a utopia like where we don't have political parties. Ideally, I would like there to not be political parties either. But there are. And so when you have school board elections, you don't have people named. These people are running on things like we're going to get new school buses. We're going to help build a new football team. They're not talking about whether or not they're going to be pushing critical race theory. And people who live in these red areas assume that these are people from their communities who have similar culture and values. So they're not necessarily

digging as hard as they should be. And a lot of these people are learning it right now. I've seen it happening in quite a few towns out in West Virginia. But it's a problem because people don't realize. I mean, they're just like, you know, you know what they say when you assume. Yes. Yeah. I feel like, oh, I know. Yeah. I make a butt out of you. I think almost that we should be voting for smart contracts and not people. Because if those people are telling you we're going to do this, this, and this, and then they go in and they also do that and that, we didn't vote for that. Right. We voted for their contract. That's true.

Oh, interesting. That's a good point, actually. Politicians should be like, these are the only things I plan to implement, and they should have a very comprehensive package. Because that's a really, really good point point think about andrew yang for instance one of the reasons i liked him was that his policy proposals were were off was like nuts like the dude sat down and just started writing a book about all the policies he wanted he had one on like mma unions and stuff and i'm like man this guy's what yeah exactly he was legit telling you like here's what i want to do now i guess the problem is like like you, you guys both point out if someone comes

to you and says, no, no, I'm not going to do all those really bad things. I'm only going to do the really good things. And then you're like, then I vote for that. Then I choose you to do those things. Then as soon as they're elected, they're like, now I'm going to do the things you hate and not the things you like. Well, we should be able to be like, nah, reaches of grievances. You ran on this slate of proposals. You are not

implementing them. Instead, you're bringing in, you know, critical race theory. They should be able to be removed instantly. There needs to be a way to do like an immediate emergency recall. Well, thanks to COVID, at least the one good thing that's come out of this is that kids have been learning at home. So parents are seeing what they're getting taught and a lot of them are getting a rude awakening, like real bad. And so I think that the one good thing that might come out of this is that parents are going to be looking more into the education system in West Virginia. I think that was today. Justice signed a bill where now we're going to be funding students instead of institutions. Is it like a voucher system? Yeah, I'm so excited about this. Wait, wait. It's literally like a voucher thing where like –

You can use it for homeschool. You can do private school, charter school. That's a revolution, man. It's so cool. I am amped about this. This is something that I've been talking about for even years, even before I was on the right. But yeah, it just got signed into law. I think it goes into effect in 90 days. 90% of West Virginia children are going to be eligible cash stipend for covering costs and stuff like that? Yeah, I think they're called Hope Scholarships. I could be wrong. Don't quote me on that.

But it's something, Hope something, but they're going to do like savings accounts where you basically can access this money that is for the child's education and you can put it towards public school or private school or whatever you want. Teachers unions obviously are outraged because who the heck wants to send their kid to public school if there's other options? It's glorious. You know what i think yay justice we've we've become a very dull people and i'm thinking of dull in terms of like color saturation we are we're we're all such npcs and i don't mean like you or i or you know lydia or ian specifically i mean awesome yeah you're great you're the best just kidding best obviously not us though I do think we're duller in a sense than the people who came before us

yeah what I mean is that people have really just given everything up where are the parents to be like I want to go to my school and be involved and now they don't know that Marxism critical race theory whatever you want to call it is is seeping in. Well, before my daughter was homeschooled because she went to public school for about a year and a half, I was very involved in the school. And I didn't know half of the stuff that they were teaching because they don't do it in front of the parents. Like I went in. I volunteered every Friday. I went in as like a teacher's assistant and I would help with crafts and cleaning and stuff like that. I went on all the field trips. I was involved in like parents groups. And you don't know any of this stuff. I

mean, when I was there, we actually had a huge scandal and the freaking school administration was threatening to call the cops on all of us because a 14 year old student got raped in the bathroom by two adult illegal immigrants that were. Wait that happened yeah in rockville the rockville rape now they say it wasn't rape and that it was consensual but the fact of the matter is it was a 19 year old who was in high school with our our kids um having sex with a 14 year old and another guy they took photos of it the whole thing was horror like horrible and so me and a whole bunch of other parents were upset about it we started writing being like hey how many adults are going to school with our children and there was nothing about race at all i mean i was still a leftist back then who

are these guys like why were they there uh they were adult illegal immigrants and they got they're placing them into the high schools because they're they're at such a lower learning curve that they they're getting placed some of them in middle schools. And so we all wanted to know how many adults were going. There was nothing about race. There was nothing about immigration. We just wanted to know how many adults were in the schools. They sent a school district wide email saying that racism will not be tolerated, that they'll call the police. It was wild.

I mean, I pulled my daughter out of school like two weeks later, but. I'm so sick of the cult, man. Yeah. It's so amazing. And the only reason it works is because people have become dull. Listen, when someone comes out and you're like, I don't like the fact that a child was, you know, attacked and they go, you're racist.

Shut your mouth. Yeah, they like. Get me swearing almost. I mean, they red pilled a lot of moms that day. There was. I mean, I was involved with all these parent groups. Everybody was super liberal. But as soon as that email came out, we all started messaging each other being like, what

the hell is this? Like, it was crazy. Safety. Yeah. The school's just thinking about what's the easiest way out. And so they're just throwing spaghetti at the wall, seeing what sticks. Yeah. I don't know.

Just call them racist. They blocked me on Twitter because I started tweeting about it, too. Wow. The school district blocked me. Nice. And I wouldn't stop. But that's in West Virginia? No, that was back when I lived in just outside D.C.

Right. It was Rockville. The Rockville. Right, right, right. There was a ton of coverage of it. I mean, I was sending all I lived in just outside D.C. Right. It was Rockville. The Rockville. Right, right, right. There was a ton of coverage of it. I mean, I was sending all the emails to every station. Now in West Virginia, the kid comes to school and they hand him a gun. There's your gun.

Welcome to school. You're 13. They used to do that back in the day, didn't they? They did, yeah. Well, they had gun clubs at the schools. That's a good idea. I was thinking about guns and gun rights. And I think I realized something when you first start buying guns and getting into it.

You realize we're totally desensitized to cars. I know cars aren't created for the purpose of killing people, so I get that part of the left's argument. Cars are dangerous. Cars kill a lot of people very, very, very, very often. And I think about how we walk through busy streets you go to new york and like somebody will just walk through a busy street as cars are flying past them because they know people will use their brakes why don't they have that same level of trust in somebody walking down the street with a gun that's a really good point i know and i've

seen kids they they're like arrogantly walking in the street and the car will slow down start honking at them angrily or look at the Antifa people who go around surrounding cars and smashing them they know no one's gonna do anything to them yet when it comes to guns the assumption is that like every law-abiding citizen will just go nuts and start shooting randomly I think because guns are are unique they're not transport vehicles like their their only job is to fire a bullet, basically, which is basically a killing tool. It's not necessarily true. You can also consider them a deterrent. If you see somebody with a gun, you're not going to mess with them. But I see your point, Ian. But what I'm saying is, don't you trust people? Kind of, dude. Sometimes I drive down the road and I'm like, whoa, okay.

No, for sure. Two tons of metal going past each other 120 miles an hour, calculated, both 60 in each direction. And we're just trusting that neither one of us

is going to hit the wheel. It's amazing, isn't it? Think about this. I'm driving down a West Virginia road and it's like 55 mile limit and there's a thin yellow paint strip in the middle of the road to stop me in another car

which is like two feet from me from slamming in with the full force of 110 miles an hour and i was just mutilating and vaporizing to answer your question yeah i trust people on like explicitly i don't i'm constantly holding the oh i don't know i call it the o-s-h yeah i call it the o-s-r that's what I realized when I would like, you know, walk around West Virginia. I see those people with guns all the time. And I'm just like, I'm not worried about any of these people doing anything to me because I'm not worried about cars either. So you're becoming desensitized to it because I bet if people had never seen a car and they

were first time, they'd be terrified. Yeah, like it's coming right for me. But since we're like two or three they're like what look both ways at the car i mean in the very beginning they were probably we were probably terrified of the noise yeah the speed and i'm just you just get used to it it's trust man regular people are all right but guess what sometimes people ram cars into people like some like we see these videos man and there's some really awful instances that have happened to that van thing in europe so we've just become so accustomed and he's sensitized to the fact that regular people just want to live their lives sometimes people drink and drive i think a

lot of it is situational too though when i lived in dc when i heard gunshots i would get scared and i would like contemplate calling the police or going to look if there's somebody like dying outside when i hear gunshots in west virginia we all say like it sounds like freedom because And I would like contemplate calling the police or going to look if there's somebody like dying outside. When I hear gunshots in West Virginia, we all say like, it sounds like freedom. Because you know that it's just like one of your neighbors doing target practice in the yard. Think about it. So it's different.

Think about it this way. If you are in an area where guns are, and you know what people are doing with the guns, you're not worried. Right. People like, you know, they're shooting at the range down in the mountain, you know, shooting at, you know, with a really great backstop. And if you're in a big city and you hear car noises, you're fine. Now imagine this.

You're in the middle of nowhere on top of a mountain. There's no roads anywhere for like 15 miles and you hear cars driving around. You're going to freak out. Right. Like if you're in your cabin in the woods on your property, it's like, you know, 20 acres or something in the middle of nowhere, or you're on some resort and you hear cars driving around and there's no roads you'll probably wake up like what is going on you'll freak out imagine if you're you know vacationing somewhere in a private community and then you hear

a weird noise that doesn't belong doesn't matter if it's a car or otherwise same thing is true for guns when you're in dc and you know the only reason people are shooting us because they're criminals it's gonna freak you out yeah i mean and it's weird because it's kind of backwards for me now i live on like a dead end road so when i hear cars i get freaked out but when i hear gunshots i'm like oh it's just you know the neighbors even my liberal neighbors will sit on their front lawn we have like one semi-liberal house in the community. And even they sit out there and they'll like shoot off their porch and stuff. It's liberal to you. I mean, they're more, they probably libertarian, but whatever.

They're more left than the majority of people on our street. But when I hear a car go by, I'm always like, what the heck is that? And then I'm like, oh, it's just the dump truck. But we don't even have like mail that comes to the house because I'm so far out there yeah so when a car comes up i'm like who the heck what's going on but when i hear gunshots i'm just like oh yeah yeah i remember i was walking through this area in west virginia and i heard gunshots going off and i'm like i gotta find out where those are and i'm walking towards the sound oh my god you know? Because the people who are there shooting aren't insane people. They're not shooting randomly into the woods.

And it's not hunting season. So I know that as long as, you know, if I'm going to make my way to these people, I know that they're probably target shooting because I was told specifically by a store that they do target shooting. I'm hearing this. Then I know they're very, very likely practicing safety. And I'm not worried about them. It's, it's just like when I'm driving, crossing the street, I'm not worried about a car crashing into me. I know that I can, I see the car. I don't try making cars break for me when I, when I cross the street, you know what I mean? Like if you're, if you have a crosswalk, I'll

try to like run across quickly, but I'm not worried. They're going to slam the gas on and try and, you know, steer into me. I know it's not going to happen. They they don't want to do that so when i hear shots in the middle of nowhere and i know there's a range nearby i'm like i'm not worried that someone's gonna have an accidental discharge these people are at a range they're shooting i'm gonna keep following the noise and then i ended up finding the range and there was a guy an older guy and he was you know zeroing in his sights for his you know hunting rifle of some sort and i was like hey howdy he's like hey how's it going he's like oh we're about done here it's all yours i. I'm like, hey, nice to meet you. And that was it. That's regular people.

So are you guys familiar with the story of Switzerland and how they do their guns? No. I was reading about them. And they start to train their kids to shoot when they're very young. This is culturally acceptable. They go to these shooting clubs. Boys, it used to be a boys-only thing. Now boys and girls do it.

From my understanding, they did have like a mandatory military service. Everyone has a gun. Zero murder rates. Everyone treats them responsibly. And I caught a little bit of heat on Twitter for saying this, but I think that gun should be viewed not as a toy, but as something that is fun and recreational, worthy of respect, a tool, something important that we need to understand and like really grasp. I think that's what we're missing. We need to make it like cultural norm for guns to be acceptable because if we don't they're just gonna be terrifying and only bad people are gonna have them we're getting we're getting dull like dull in color and dull and sharpness people used to die all the time it

was crazy it was crazy yeah people would have like 10 kids because half of them would die i was just telling you guys about that that siege of in crete where they it was a 21 year siege where kids were born into the city that was under siege and they till 21 and they would dig tunnels i mean their life was they would go under in tunnels they couldn't see a guy from me to you and they'd have knives or like bats and try and kill each other in these tunnels and lay mines and i mean it's just horrible dude horrible this was like 500 years ago this is i'm glad we don't do that anymore well i know and thank god but like if we're not careful it could degrade back to that like that's why i'm studying this stuff like how do we survive if society collapses oh you build mines under the opposing

uh fence and then you look yikes it's crazy dude and like tunnel rats in vietnam that would climb down into the mud and climb in this like the suffocation was a constant threat just the the terror and horror of war and we have grown soft to that stuff to everything though so it's like what's happening now is these these cultists are coming in they're taking over and it's a really weird thing like i don't understand this weird overlap between the liberals the left and wokeness because there are a bunch of hard leftists like dsa they're as woke as woke can be to the point where it's actually horrifying like that video where the guy's like hello my name's toby he him i just like to say a you know point of point of privilege um the chatter in this room is really

making it hard for me to focus everybody guys you need to calm down the other person goes stop saying guys and don't and i'm like this is just lunacy they can't even have a cohesive meeting you know so i'm wondering where's that then there's like the dirt bag left that are pro-gun anti-woke and just socialists so i'm like what's this overlap so are these cultists are they socialists the people who are coming in doing critical race theory in these schools or are they just woke cultists you know what i mean they're like um or is there opportunists yeah i mean i think they're marxists so they're like all about redistribution of the means of

production or what yeah and they're also on a power trip a lot of this i think isn't even political necessarily i think that some people got bullied in high school and now they want to get back at the world by bullying everybody else. I honestly think that a lot of it is not political. I think that it's just power. It's a cult. That's all it is. And that's what I was saying earlier. It's like the rules don't exist. They change on a whim because the real goal is that there's a the real issue is that there is a chaotic, destructive force that just seeks to infect and destroy. And it has no real goals.

Like, think about what the woke stuff is doing. What is it doing? It's vengeance. Destroying businesses. Yeah, it's corroding culture and destroying enterprise and business. People want to be avengers in real life. They want to they want to avenge their past torture from being bullied. I know because I went through it in 2006. I started making YouTube videos. I was like, wow, if I want to destroy anyone right now,

I could get a crowd of people to go destroy their lives. Not physically, but just basically, it was pre-cancel culture, pre-docs, pre-all that stuff. But I realized how powerful it was, this ostracization and how humiliation of people I could use. Because I had like 10,000 people would watch and I'd be like, call this guy on this day. Everyone call him at this time and let him know this information. And then let's do it again tomorrow.

And the power of the crowd, it was. And so I didn't allow myself to fall, thank God. Think about it this way. You said the Avengers. Marvel movies were didn't allow myself to fall. Thank God. Think about it this way. You said the Avengers. Marvel movies were amazing. Making tons of money. Everybody really likes them. And they started getting a little woke.

And then people started complaining a little bit. You know, Black Panther got some heat, which I don't think was entirely undeserved. But I like Black Panther. I give it a 7 out of 10. Captain Marvel got roasted and it absolutely deserved it now they all made a ton of money don't get me wrong but it's like that was the biggest cultural institution we had in film like the marvel movies are each movie's over a billion dollars event endgame was like the biggest movie for a while i guess avatar got re-released

and then they infect it infect it in fact infect it with this cult that starts just destroying what makes it interesting then you start seeing you know some of the movies that come out are not as good and the writing gets a little weaker and it's like eating at the base of what makes things fun and interesting and slowly eroding and destroying them it creates nothing it does nothing that's why i think marxism makes sense these people want to completely destroy what culture there is to create a new one they want to they want to erase it first so they're not producing anything they're going to destroy everything and then from the from the ashes they will try to build a new i'm not familiar enough with marxism um like communism like china

is like a pseudo or like a neo-communist. It's not a real communist. It's like capitalist communism. It's just a totalitarianism. Yeah. It's a weird like amalgamation of communism and capitalism. And so there probably is a new word for it. Maybe what these people are doing is a new word for like a neo-Marxism. I would say it's fair to say real communism has never been tried. And then you must add the caveat to that because every single time someone does try to do or I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No, that's what's wrong.

Real communism has never been implemented. And the issue is that every time real communism is tried, they end up just killing tons and tons of people, millions of people. And so that says to me that every single time you try, you will not be able to successfully implement your utopian vision of full on communism. It's a feature. Yeah. Well, so the general idea these people have, and that's why they don't believe that they ignore the history is they're like, gotta keep trying, gotta keep trying. They have this, this magic view that we're all going to live in a utopia,

that we're all just going to be holding hands and singing under a rainbow. And then everyone will own everything. And it's just garbage nonsense fairy tales. So then someone says, I'm going to try and do it. Hello, good sir, Ian. I'm going to make a communist utopia as we've all dreamed. Would you like to join? Yes or no? Absolutely. Cassandra, would you like to join my communist utopia?

Sure. You would. Lydia, would you? Yeah, sure. Congratulations. None of you have to die. Wait, I'm having second thoughts. Oh, I've got a Glock 9mm here.

Not about this. Oh, it's too late. Now there's no one left to oppose my utopian vision that's exactly what happens every time it doesn't work because people say two words i disagree i'm gonna have to kill you i guess i mean that's essentially what they're doing to people like digitally now they're making it so people can't get jobs they can't get bank accounts i mean they're they're effectively like trying to kill people. But that's why it just becomes authoritarianism. You call it fascism if you want.

And the left says, well, fascism is actually, I don't care what you want to call it. It's a bunch of psychopathic, violent morons who are going to destroy everything because they want power. They're not smart enough to make a machine work, so they're going to throw a wrench in it. You need some authority, like obviously a local level of authority. You need a sheriff. Maybe you don't need a sheriff these days, but it seems like you need a local order.

But top-down authority is very dangerous. That's the lesson I've learned. I was talking to this anarchist dude about how in like uh was it uh uh archipelago is it archipelago not an archipelago just like archipelago yeah uh it's very anarchistic and you know that's what they do in archipelago and i and i was like this guy's telling me he's like look where i live there's no government there's no police there's no law and everyone gets along just fine and i was like so what would happen if you like walked into your neighbor's house and took his stuff?

He's like, I'd probably shoot me. I'm like, oh, because you have a general understanding about what is and isn't acceptable, right? Of course. It's how people work. And I was like, listen, the general understanding of what is or isn't acceptable is the basic formation of government between people, a social order that exists. So you're not in. OK, fine. I get it. You call it anarchy and there's no authority. So and without

anarchy authority that I understand. But there is government. People are armed. And so let me ask you another question. If someone comes into your house and takes your stuff, would your neighbors help you stop that person? Yes. Congratulations. You formed a small government that there's no exchange of currency. You just agree. We live here. We are in charge. And if someone comes and tries to take from us, we're going to use force against them. Scale that up and you get more and more government.

So it's really simple to start creating government. And then you take a look at these small anarchist communities. And it's no surprise that over time, as more and more people move in, government becomes more and more overbearing. So I actually was thinking about this in terms of science. And I feel like it's basically following a similar principle to the state of matter. So I think about it this way. You have gas. Particles are far apart, bouncing around all crazy.

And so it makes this, you know, gas can be, you know, moved and shifted about, and you can whiff through it and all that stuff. As you start to compress that into a tighter and tighter space, it becomes liquid. Now, it's harder to move through. And then if you compress it even further, it becomes a solid, now you can't move through it at all. That's basically how I view government. If you have a bunch of people all separated, then they have these big bubbles of inherent of personal freedom where they can do whatever they want. We can go outside and launch our remote control car 50 feet up in the air and laugh as it smashes it in the ground. You can't do that in New York. They'll come and get angry because the closer people get

together, it starts becoming rigid like solid matter. People's rights get compressed as more people emerge around them. And then big cities start pushing totalitarian and despotic rules and laws can't have guns anymore you can't play loud music you can't you know play you can't play play instruments in your own home you you can't go out at certain points oh no there's a pandemic now everyone's got to get shots and everyone's got to get vaccine passports then you go to the mountain where everyone's separated life's normal yeah make totally free we're also unincorporated too so we don't even have like that much government really i mean obviously you have like state and county and stuff but we don't i mean people will be in our group chat being like hey is this legal and people

respond and be like is somebody gonna die and then they'll be like, no. And they're like, okay, then do it. What do we like? Nobody cares. Like, I mean, that's, that's, that's, so we had a conversation about guns with Luke. And we were talking about how like in New York City, for instance, it's like almost impossible to have a gun. And then you get all these liberals being like, why would anyone need an AR-15? And it's like, you're not even saying anything when you say that, because there's so many different variants and like calibers and modifications just like you don't know what you're talking about but I mentioned you know it's probably not a good idea for someone to have

a 308 you know rifle for home defense in a studio condo in New York City because that bullet's gonna rip through walls and maybe hit somebody. And then Luke instinctively said, maybe we restrict. And I was like, oh, up, up, up. No, no, no. The point is maybe the individual is responsible for whatever comes out of the barrel of that gun.

And if they do have a.308 in their home, they should know better than firing it because it's going to go through walls and if they hit somebody, that's negligent homicide because you are the individual responsible for that weapon. You should be allowed to have it

but if you shoot it, you're going to get arrested when someone gets hit or for the vandalism and damage you cause by doing it. Same as if you had a car and you drove on a private property, you're in trouble.

Same if you had a car and you were speeding and you hit somebody. You're legally allowed to have a car, you're not legally allowed to crash that car into someone's storefront. So I'm like, you know, that's the idea of individual responsibility in big cities. You can still have that freedom. It's just your responsibility.

I really like this metaphor of states of matter and government, like constriction, like pressure, like because beyond. So maybe we're in the fluidic state. It's either liquid or gas. There's resistance when you move. The government is the resistance. You can kind of push through it there's wind resistance you hit terminal velocity but once you get even more spacious than gas you turn into plasma which is the fourth state of matter which is like there is no wind resistance in a place people are running around firing rockets in their backyards it's electromagnetic yeah what it like? Like plasma is the fourth state of matter.

I would liken that to living literally in, you know, 100 square miles of desert with no one around you. You could just take a dump right there. With access to whatever you need. Like electrons can appear in different places within the cloud. Well, okay. No, I don't know about that. Or like matter formation.

I'm just talking about the closer people come together, their rights start compressing and it becomes totalitarian, like a rigid, solid state of matter. And if you need to import resources, that's bringing people closer together. So if you don't need to import resources and you can create them on the spot, you could take a dump in the desert. You can create your water and your food. That's where we're headed. The fourth state of this analogy is that you're in the middle of the woods on this massive 200 acre plot of land you own and there's no one who's allowed on your property and you take a dump right there in an open field

and the only one you bothered is the guy in the space station who's looking down with his you know satellite telescope whatever and he's like posting it to instagram you know he's like that's so gross or he laughs and he's like legit if people could have lots of space and could create all their materials on on source like at a location I think that we would not really need government. Not like this. You could have in the middle of nowhere. It would be a new. So there still is population density of the planet, which means you can't build nuclear weapons and stuff because people – you'll interfere with them at a greater distance.

But think about like your range of effect when it comes to your rights. If you live in a tiny cubicle apartment in New York, you can't play the drums, man, because you're gonna have 10 people being like, dude, come on, man. It's not fair to us.

I know that firsthand. Right. And so you're like, I have a right to be noisy between these hours. And it's true, but it's kind of a dick move. You know, people might got to sleep.

They might got a night shift. So it's not necessarily just about law. It's about social enforcement. Now you live in the middle of nowhere, 200 acres. You're right in the middle middle you could literally pull out like i mean just watch hickok 45 the dude just goes nuts i watched the video i was tweeting about the ksg 25 dude loads ksg 25 with slugs it's a tactical shotgun that holds 25 shotgun shells and he's just going boom boom like crazy just shooting shotgun slugs like nuts because there's nobody

around him and if you had your own planet you could set off nukes all over the planet no one exactly that's the plasma you have your own planet like dr manhattan and he builds a gigantic weird structure and he floats around doing whatever he wants because you got nothing no one to bother and that's literally you could light off nukes and no one would care. Or it wouldn't be concerned. Let's jump to a less philosophical but interesting story about someone bothering somebody. This is nuts. You guys ready for this? Nike sues rapper Lil Nas X over Satan shoes that have real blood in the soles.

The shoes, which contain a drop of human blood in the sole, went on sale Monday for $1,018 per pair. They say the shoes are unofficial designs of Nike's trademark Air Max 97 design, though the shoe company said is not involved with the creation of the shoe. They contain a drop of human blood in the sole and went on sale Monday. Only 666 pairs were made available and all were sold out shortly after going on sale. The shoes drew plenty of high-profile critics, including South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and former Clemson University quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Our kids are being told this kind of product is not only OK, it's exclusive, Noem tweeted.

The artist responded by writing, you're a whole governor and you on here tweeting about some damn shoes. Do your job. Lil Nas X is not named as a defendant in Nike's lawsuit. Not named. Interesting. Shortly after the lawsuit was announced, he posted a tweet showing a homeless squid word from SpongeBob SquarePants begging for change. And it says, me after the Nike lawsuit.

And there's a homeless squid word. I thought that was funny. I thought that was funny. I thought that was funny. Nike filed a trademark infringement and delusion complaint against MSCHF today, related to Satan shoes. Quote, we don't have

further details to share on pending legal matters. However, we can tell you we do not have a relationship with Lil Nas X or Mischief. The Satan shoes were produced without Nike's approval or authorization. And Nike is in no way connected with this project. First of all, that tweet with the Squidward thing. That was legit.

That was funny. How did he decide? Like, how did how was he able to make a Nike shoe without Nike's approval? That's that's just not their customs. They're not actually by Nike. But isn't that infringement of some sort? You would think. But it seems like they they i mean there's a huge culture i've been learning this last two days because i'm in a twitter war of nazis fans right now but i got ratioed to hell myself but uh um there's this like huge subculture of people who customize sneakers and apparently it's a really big deal and nike

normally doesn't enforce copyright i guess but because this one has caused so much blowback i think they had no choice really i don't care about this shoe this i actually think it's kind of funny he dripped blood in the shoes and then resold them is that what i wonder i don't think it's his blood i really want to know whose blood it is. That's kind of weird. Nobody has said. I mean, look, I think it's weird, but I think if somebody wants to make a weird shoe and sell it

and they're like, oh, I'm saying bleh. But whatever. It had the Nike design on it? The logo? Yeah. Okay. My issue with it

is not the troll game. Like, I respect his troll game. He got me ratioed real hard. Like, I got ratioed to hell like it was crazy i i have to give him props for that at least i you know troll respects troll i guess but um my only issue with anything that he's done is the fact that in january he was doing interviews with NPR, bragging about how children are his fan base. He was doing videos with Elmo. He wrote a children's book.

He performed in an elementary school gym. I think there was a Kidz Bop version of Country Roads or whatever the song is called. Kidz Bop. I mean, he really went out of his way to market to children, which is a smart thing to do because children are a huge consumer base and parents are going to spend money on their kids all the time. And it's smart. I think I'm glad he did. But the problem is you can't brand yourself.

I mean, I think that the lyrics to Old Town Road are questionable anyway, and parents probably shouldn't have been letting their kids listen to it. But, you know, after the children's book and the NPR interview and during concert in Roblox, he's branded himself as somebody that is safe for children. So this is the best thing he could have done with the Satan shoe with the blood in it. Because now parents are going to be like, whoa, maybe I shouldn't have my kid following this stuff. Right, if they catch it on time. I mean, as a parent, I have a really difficult time with it because my daughter wants to watch people playing video games and stuff. And so I'll be watching a video game channel with her and it'll seem very wholesome and it'll be great for weeks.

And then all of a sudden they'll start talking about like some insane cult blue and on nonsense or, you know, saying that there's 170 genders or whatever the hell. And it's hard to keep up with it, especially on YouTube and stuff like that. But even with like Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, it's very hard right now to find like wholesome content that you can trust. And I and I know parents work and there's all kinds of stuff going on. You can't always keep up. This guy built a reputation that he was safe for children. And then he came out with a video where he's pole dancing to hell, and then giving a lap dance to Satan. You can't really blame parents for being upset with this one. I'm just saying, by doing this and generating the controversy, it's like setting a flare up into the air so that parents can see it and maybe now realize he's not so safe for kids. Right. Which is why people are calling it out. Right. Everybody's like, you're trying to get him canceled and, you know, all this stuff.

And first, it's like, yeah, kind of, because, like, I firmly believe that we should be canceling the left back. But also, it's more about making sure that parents see it. You want parents to know not to let their kids watch this. And so by putting articles up on Gateway Pundit that are getting, you know, hundreds of thousands of views, maybe some parents will be like, oh, crap, my kid really likes this. I better watch out. Absolutely. And I think that's important.

It kind of reminds me of I think it's I think it's a family guy joke where they give, you know, one of the kids like Stewie, a children's video on YouTube. And they're like, hi, kids, let's learn the ABCs. guy joke where they give you know one of the kids like stewie a children's video on youtube and they're like hi kids let's learn the abcs and then like the parent walks away and they're like abc all right your parents god good go into mommy's purse get her credit card now go to this website yeah yeah it's like are they gone all right let's do this there's a lot of jokes like that i just think i mean for one again i'll stress his troll games on point and so i look at what he's doing

as like screwing the status quo it's punk rock man and i was i was thinking about that like where's where's the you know we we talked about eminem's song cancel me or something i think it's called i don't know without me no no no it's like a new one they're trying to cancel me he's so dorky yeah it's not very good but But we talked about that song, Without Me. You guys remember that song? I love that song. From like 2002. The whole song makes no sense.

Oh, right. No, no. Without Me is not the real Slim Shady. Oh, I thought it was, yeah. It's called Without Me. And the whole song is about cultural references at the time. He's literally just talking smack and being extremely offensive i don't think anybody would make anything like that and popularize it on tv or in movies the way they did because he

literally makes disparaging remarks about christina aguilera you know surfacing to guys from that era in the song and that song's got a billion views i'm just thinking about this stuff like where are the people who are like i'm going to screw with the system to my utmost – to the maximum possible level and just tell everyone to go shove it and you can't do anything about it? I mean this isn't new though. We had Marilyn Manson. We've had all this stuff before. It's not new. It's just kids' things.

The only thing that's different is, yeah, this is literally two months ago. It's not like we're talking about like Miley Cyrus where she was a child star and then grew up and started making content that was more geared for adults. I know people still get mad about that, but that bothers me less. This was literally in January. He's putting out children's books. He's going on NPR talking about how he wants to appeal to children or how he likes that he appeals to children. And it was a marketing strategy. Children are a huge huge

product consumer base like what how old of children i mean the average age for roblox concert is under 13 like the average roblox users under 13 my daughter uses it all the time um he did a video with elmo i mean that's geared towards toddlers. Sesame Street was like full-on racist, apparently. Anyway, so Elmo got to learn about why Martin Luther King Jr. was wrong in one of the weirdest segments I've ever seen Sesame Street do. It's amazing. Tell me. Yeah, so Sesame Street

introduces two new black puppets, ABCs of racial literacy, and apparently these characters are saying the color of their skin is a very important aspect of who they are. All right, fine. I'm being a bit hyperbolic when I say they learn about why Martin Luther King was wrong. It's not literally what they're saying. I'm sure Martin Luther King Jr. thought there was relevancy to the color of skin because of racism.

They say, first revealed on March 24th by Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization responsible for the long-running children's show production, ABC's of racial literacy resource, is designed to help families celebrate their own unique identities and answer children's tough questions about race and racism. Apparently in this like Sesame Street segment, he asks them why they're like black and they explain their race and all that stuff. The issue I take with it is that while I certainly think colorblindness as a general term is probably not a good thing. We do want to recognize racism exists and that people are treated poorly. You want to treat people as equals without consideration of their race. The problem is, I guess, many people are saying, no, you should give me positive discrimination because of past discrimination. That's Ibram X.

Kendi's thought process. So sure, this dude's doing videos with Elmo. I'm not sure Elmo is something people want to have their kids watch. But you know what happens? I bet a lot of millennial parents are like, I used to watch Sesame Street. You should watch Sesame Street too. And their kid comes in one day, like a seven-year-old goes to their mom and starts preaching about racial segregation. And the mom's going to be like, what? Maybe you should have paid attention. I mean, this just happened to me like recently. And it's shocking. I am almost a helicopter parent about what my daughter sees, what she does on the internet.

I don't allow her to be on the internet if I'm not in the room. I am kind of a bit much about this. But I was watching. We went on vacation. We don't have cable at my house. We just watch streaming services. But we were on vacation. We were in like streaming services. But we were on vacation. We were in the hotel room and I put on the Disney Channel.

And we were just watching a show that we've watched a million times, old show. So it's not, you know, over the top. But a commercial came on talking about like the impeachment and how he's not necessarily – just because he was found not guilty doesn't mean he didn't do something wrong. And then Black Lives Matter commercials and all this stuff. And I'm sitting there. I'm like, when i was little disney was wholesome as heck like and so i i implicitly like i trust disney channel and nickelodeon and stuff because when i was a kid it was like people getting slimed and stuff they weren't talking about politics they weren't talking about this stuff wow when i when i was a, all that stuff I wanted to do the opposite of.

You know what I mean? Like when we would see those commercials about like, well, at least maybe it's growing up in the south side of Chicago, where they're like, you know, stay out of gangs, kids, and don't do drugs. Like all of my friends were like, hmm, I think I'm going to go do those things. What are those? Yeah. What are those?

Yeah. Apparently there was like, I guess in some instances, the DARE program, which was telling kids not to do drugs, just taught them how to do drugs. It was like, don't put it in your mouth and light it with a lighter and then suck it in. Don't do that. Don't inhale afterwards. Yeah. So we just watched Man of the Year, just like as an aside real quick.

Have you seen Man of the Year? No. From 2006, Robin Williams. So Andreas was telling us, he's a dude who hangs out here. He was telling us that there's a scene where Robin Williams says, covfefe, covfefe, over and over again. He doesn't. But we watched the film.

It's about a media personality who's supposed to be like Jon Stewart. And people are like, why don't you run for president? He does. And then he wins. It's the craziest thing. You got to watch it. You got to see this movie. You know why?

You know why you got to watch it? It was like watching someone predicted donald trump robin williams plays a misogynistic anti-semitic comedian and i don't mean that in the literal sense i mean that at the time that comedy was considered appropriate and good and everyone loved it on the left so when he makes jokes about women and jews and illegal aliens everyone's laughing and so he actually just gets he gets like 10 in the polls there's one scene where basically he's debating the other two presidents because his poll numbers are so well and then he's like they want to add a constitutional amendment so you can't burn the american flag it's a distraction because four

million illegal aliens just crossed our border robin williams said that wow and i was like this is crazy and then he ends up winning i'm gonna spoil the movie it's you know 20 years old but he ends up winning because of a computer glitch so new electronic voting machines are brought in and there's a glitch which causes him to win it's the weirdest thing ever just like watching this movie now the weird the craziest thing about it is it ends with like he wins the presidency then it ends with him realizing wins the presidency. Then it ends with him realizing he didn't really win. He goes on Saturday Night Live and he's like, the establishment should be in charge. We should allow the political elites who have no allegiance to

the American people. But like he says, seriously, the whole point of the movie is him saying the Republican Party, the Democratic Party don't represent us anymore, that they're just in it for the special interest to take all this money then they owe favors to these to these interests and they pay him back by screwing over the little guy and ignoring what the people need and at the end he's like but you know what maybe that's how it should be and then they all cheer and celebrate and send it live it's like yay it's really it's a really creepy movie oh super creepy yeah just you should check it out anyway let's go to super chats my friends if you have not already, smash that like button because it really, really does help.

I'm very excited to do it. oversee the project but uh yeah how about cults conspiracies with cassandra triple c pretty good yeah and thank you all right i'm very excited to do it mark hunt says what's your thoughts on the suez canal situation i love the memes there was one post where someone said every man on the planet has a solution to how to get the ship unstuck it's like all of the men of the world standing around a pickle jar that needs to be unstuck and they're telling you how to do it. And then the best with the response was, and each and every one of their responses is correct. Yes. Yes.

They got it unstuck, the ship. And then 10 minutes later, it got stuck again. Oh, wow. But I guess they got it back out. Oh, good. It's funny. Okay. So that was costing, it was a ship ran ag good. It's funny. Okay. So that was costing.

It was a ship ran aground in the Suez Canal, blockaded and was costing like $60 million a minute or some absorbent amount of lost transit. So there's a bunch of memes where it's like, you know, I think Luke posted, ordered nine millimeter. And then it was like shipping. It was like, it was en route. And it's the guy like smiling. And then it says, last known location, Suez and he's like all shocked yep well not it's not that

it's in the canal it's that nothing could get through the canal all right let's see cryptic says tim how do you feel about the rising wall street silver movement some mints are now unable to deliver silver to unallocated accounts until months. Looks like the physical squeeze on silver is working. That'll be really interesting. I mean, I don't know enough about silver, how that's going to work. I do own silver. I mean, I think most people have some kind of silver.

It'll be cool. I don't know. I don't know if it's good or bad. I should say that 20 million a minute. I don't know if that's what was being lost in the Suez Canal. Yeah, the Athenians. What do you think about silver? The Athenians mined it. That's made athens so great silver yeah silver mine what they do with it um they would melt it into coins primarily uh i don't know what else but they would

just use slaves people would like lease their slaves to the athenian state to go down there mine silver interesting robin cosby says astrazeneca covet vaccine is the blood clot one that everyone is worried about. Well, there's all there's alternatives, you know. Eric Allen says thanks for clearing up Friday for people. It definitely helps. And I hope you guys collab again soon. Much love.

Legit. It was our fault. I didn't communicate with Jeremy beforehand. And then he ended up going on Adam's show. And so then when I came up for pre-production, what people need to understand is for a lot of guests, when they come in here and I haven't talked to them before, there's always something we can just talk about. So you'll notice some shows are literally like when we had Jodi Shaw on. I think for like 40 minutes, she was just telling her story.

We didn't need a lot of pre-production to be like, tell me your story. Let's work our way through this. For Jeremy, we both do a very similar kind of commentary thing. And we had just done a show the night before. So we kind of exhausted a lot of the topics we could have talked about. And then he didn't realize we had an earlier call time because it's our fault. Someone on our end told him not to worry about it. And then I was like, dude, I don't, we don't have any stories.

Like I've not prepared anything. We haven't gone over anything. We haven't talked about anything. And a lot of stuff we were going to talk about, we talked about yesterday. I was like, I just don't know if I have it in me to like put, pull something together in the last few minutes. And so it was, it was my fault nothing to do with jeremy he was he did everything he was supposed to be jeremy you are the man dude i hope you're watching i love you dude and thanks for coming that was really fun and uh we should play games someday

i know it's a little obfuscative if uh over the internet but um let's hang out sometime come back or i'll go over your house yeah some people mentioned like with james o'keefe he was super late and i'll mention with james straight up when when he called me before the show and said i'm gonna be late i was like i can't do it bro i was like look we try to be on time for everybody and if you can't make it like i'm i just i don't play i don't play favorites with people i've had so many really amazing high profile people message me saying just do a remote show tim just for me and i'm like dude i can't do it because i'm not going to do a special thing for every single person james chartered a private plane and so i was like okay i was like all right dude okay you got it

so and that and that also too was very much James says, don't worry. I've got a bunch of stuff to talk about. So when I get there, I was like, okay, I guess we'll try and put something together. And then when he gets here, he's just going to talk to us. We ended up doing a full hour bonus show because there was so much James and I hadn't talked about. It's really, really hard. I think people need to understand, too, that there's a decent amount of pre-production. It's not the biggest deal in the world, but it's a decent amount where we warm up we talk about ideas we line up our stories

you'll notice we pull up a bunch of stories and read through them it's because we did all the work loading them in the first place so maybe not the what people expected but that's just the reality and uh sometimes it's just hard to pull things together and we screw up it's just a sad reality i guess let's see coldy locks production says what happened to the right to privacy or patient confidentiality from doctors, businesses and government doesn't need to know my medical history, let alone what I do in my private life at home. That's actually a really, really important point. HIPAA laws, right?

What if I just say I don't have to prove it because my privacy, we give them an inch and they're going to take a mile. That's my fear with all of it. The Nazis would like really they would execute sick people that was a big part of it he wanted to get rid of like the the not pure people and a lot of those were like people that have mental problems or physical you know problems or just illness in general i have a question was it with the americans with disabilities act is that what it's called yeah so what if you go to walmart and they're like you have to have proof of vaccine and you say, I have allergies.

I can't get it. Can they say you're not allowed to come to this business because of a medical condition? I wonder if they'll do exemption cards. I've dealt with severe allergy before when I was growing up. It freaks me out. I was in the hospital like for a couple of days, I think. I can kill you. Yeah.

It's no joke. That's why people carry EpiPens. And so when they announced, they're like, vaccine, don't take it. If you have food allergies, you got to wait. I'm like, you got it. Because I've been through that. I do not want to go through that again. So what am I supposed to do?

If they launch these passports, look, I think vaccines are rad. But I was advised against, you know, and it's not even any particular vaccine. I was reading about it. And they said for most new vaccines, there's a wait period for people with food allergies because there's the possibility of anaphylactic reaction. And then we saw those nurses who had it. So I'm just like, apparently those nurses were like, no, it's okay. I'm fine. I was treated.

I'm like, yeah, but like going to the ER and like getting the epinephrine, like, I'm not all about that, man. Sorry. Like if people, you know but like going to the ER and like getting the epinephrine. I'm not all about that, man. Sorry. Like if people, you know, I want to get it. Like I got no beef. I'm stoked. Look, I know a lot of people are saying they're worried about it being rushed. But I'm like, Trump's the one who rushed this through. I don't think I don't trust Trump with everything either.

He didn't even pardon Assange. That's true. I don't know. Trump is wonderful. He's great and all. I don't know. Trump is wonderful. He's great and all. But just because he pushed it doesn't mean that it's great. I'm sorry. I can't get on board.

I'm going to get us in trouble if I keep talking. I just think that I think they didn't want to give him a success. You know what I mean? I think FDA approval is extremely important. A lot of these vaccines have been around for a really, really long time. So we know the adverse effects. So I really just, I'm not, I don't know. I just think we need FDA approval. I think that people who are very high risk should take it.

I just think that the risk for people who are not high risk is too questionable. I don't want a food allergy risk. The FDA is not even the end all. It's just a government organization. They say aspartame is totally fine because they've done one study on rats with it that caused cancer or seemed like it was carcinogenic. But because they never did other studies on aspartame, they say there aren't enough studies to say that it's carcinogenic 100 sure about all of those facts last i've studied that yeah last i've studied they did one one aspartame study carcinogen study on rats and then it showed that there was a likelihood that it was carcinogenic and then they stopped doing the studies and now

they say there aren't enough studies to prove it so well but there's not enough evidence i think cultural enforcement social enforcement is always the most important thing you know that people don't drink that stuff a lot as much anymore like soda regular old soda people don't like drinking that anymore water consumption is going up so great we got that you ever see hydro homies on reddit there's a there's a viral reddit group where it's just people like got to drink more water and they post pictures of bottled water and that's like memes about drinking more water yeah i was reading that like soda consumption is way way down wow i know all my friends when we go out to eat we usually just get like water or alcohol if you get alcohol but when it comes to like fast food restaurants most people go to fast food restaurants

don't get large sodas anymore does nestle like unsweet tea or something it's coca-cola nestle on coca-cola no i think coca-cola um I wonder if they're investing in water, like doing bottled water. Is Avion? Oh, of course they are. Absolutely. So they're like, let's get away from soda. Let's buy the water mines and then we'll start selling water instead, which has a double-edged sword, I guess. All right, let's read this from Brent Saigan. He says,

Hey, Tim, your bullying of my brother Grant to make an account on your website has yet to work. But could you shout out my friend Robert? He listens to some of your stuff and he's leaving for the Navy today. Oh, wow. Sounds rad. Cool, man. Well, have fun.

Absolutely. And thanks for listening to the show. And your brother Grant. Darn it, Grant. He's letting us down. I think if Grant doesn't sign up, I may just have to pack it in because to be honest, I was just trying to get his respect the whole time. Grant.

Grant. What's up, dude? If I can't inspire you, then maybe I just just take the beanie off and just go downstairs. You can inspire, dude. You can do it. Oh, come on, Grant. You can join. Become a member at TimCast.com.

Joe Spinella says the Privileges and Immunities Clause, U.S. Constitution, Article 4, Section 2, Clause 1, also knows as the Com the comity clause prevents a state from treating citizens of other states in a discriminatory manner so that means new york can't really do what they're doing this vaccine passport huh that's weird i don't know i look that up it's going to require a supreme court lawsuit i feel like the government's doing a whole lot of things that they shouldn't be able to do so i don't even know anymore urgency yeah yeah they often and yep i mean we're still dealing with the patriot act and stuff i mean we're going to be dealing with these covet emergency things for a long time i think so uh nishra produces uh some of some of my music and you know uh many people many people many people probably know her from adam's show which which I remember she asked a few months ago.

She was like, we're talking about guns, and she's from Sweden. She goes, wait a minute, I'm confused. The Second Amendment says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. And we all go, uh-huh. But they're infringing, and we all start laughing. Like, yes, yes.

She's so cool. She mentioned this to me before. She was like, just earlier today. She was like, I don't understand how your constitution literally says you can't do it. But like everywhere does it. And I'm like, you're asking me, dude. That's my thing.

It's like, I actually think we should be responsible and have a conversation about gun control. But I think the constitution says otherwise. And if people want to change that, doesn't matter what my opinion is or anyone else's. There it is. Constitution says it. Then you got to bring all the states together and change it. And that's the reality of how it's supposed to work. Yeah, it's a free everywhere.

And then state by state, they can kind of dictate. But then city by city, can they do it also? Can they be like, in this city, it's open carry, even if the state says no? Apparently, there's a bunch of rulings already saying everything they do is illegal anyway. But who wants to be the person to get standing to sue after they get arrested or charged the nra or someone like that the nra are they like in the pocket of somebody the nra is just like a i don't know that's kind of i don't know what do they do isn't their purpose to uphold gun rights they don't yeah but that's supposed to be their purpose is to collect donations gun owners is

really good though as an alternative to NRA. I really like them. They actually stood up for the controversial person in Kenosha. I want some gun rights organizations to go to the inner city youth in Chicago who are arrested on gun possession charges and advocate for the right to keep and bear arms. That's pretty cool. I'm actually looking right now. West Virginia just passed something pretty cool but i don't want to misstate it and i'm sorry that i keep talking what do you think it is um you are legally obligated to carry a gun no there's something um something they're they're gonna not um

enforce federal laws about guns. But I don't want to misstate it. Yeah, well, there's always the ATF. Yeah. All right, let's see. Karis says, Hey, Tim, I work in healthcare. I install patient monitoring

hardware and software. I work with nurses, doctors, and biomed personnel. Sometimes a mask is our only armor in these hospitals, like that rare charm in an RPG.

Yes. Yeah, man. people don't realize about this hospital people don't realize this about hospitals but old people die from hospitals yes no joke they'll get sick or they'll have to go to the hospital for a broken bone and then there is just illness all over the hospital people are sick and so they can contract the stuff what like you know mursa and stuff and staff yes yes all right. All right, let's see. I found it. West Virginia House passes bill to ban enforcement of federal gun control past, present, and future.

Wow. Wow. So, I mean, it'll still have to go to justice and stuff, but. Right, right, right. And you still got to deal with the ATF. Yeah. So we got the federal government. But we've had a lot of counties in West Virginia becoming sanctuary counties, too.

Yeah. And they're saying that they won't work with ATF. They won't work with FBI or whatever. So yeah, it's, but that means, so what, so it'll be interesting to see what happens if someone in West Virginia decides to get a full auto weapon without going through the NFA tax and all that stuff in the ATF. We'll see. They're not going to have help from local law enforcement if, if, you know, things go

as they look like they're going to. But then this could lead to a lawsuit that goes to the Supreme Court. Yeah. All gun control is racist. And I'm not even exaggerating. That's true. Ask Maj Toure and Black Guns Matter about it because they're not wrong. All right.

Landoon says, hey, Tim and crew, I'm a soldier in the U.S. Army. Our unit has had loose rules regarding the wearing of the mask since the lockdown began. But other units are very strict about the mask. It all depends on who your leaders are. Interesting. Darth Typhon says, Tim, you guys should have Magnus Penvidya on the show. It would make for a great conversation regarding the culture war between the establishment and bottom unity groups such as boogs, anti-fascists, and right-wing militias. Keep up the great work.

Thank you very much. Stormskip says, Tim, can you talk about how Democrat policies fit together? Lockdowns cause people to lose jobs so they can't afford the reintroduced individual mandate of ACA. Soon they need to go on government health care to get a vaccine passport. That's really interesting.

Did they reintroduce the individual mandate not sure the in the involuntary mandate ben walker says thanks for talking seriously about vaccine risks i'm 100 pro vax but side effects can be serious check out pandemics gsk swine flu vaccine that gave over 10 people narcolepsy i have narcolepsy. It's no joke. Provax, but people should be aware of potential risks. I think that's, in an honest society, we'd be saying, dude, vaccines are amazing. They're amazing. I had a conversation with some conspiracy person a while ago, and I said, if you've got, you know, a million people who might die from something, so you introduce a vaccine that's going to save 950,000. And then 50,000 people will get some serious side effect from the vaccine,

some resulting in death. But you save 950,000 people. Like the problem, I think a lot of people don't realize is that if there is a system in place that causes some adverse effect, they focus on that as the worst possible thing when it's possible. COVID could have been way worse. So one of the challenges with talking about lockdowns and masks and all this is that we have no metric by which to judge a lot of these policies because we all did it. You can look at Sweden. You can look at the numbers in Texas.

And we start to get a clear picture of, okay, maybe lockdowns were a bad idea. In the beginning, though, we just didn't know. There was nothing to compare it to. So we were like, let's try and do the right thing. And then when people were looking at numbers, we still didn't know. Maybe it would have been worse if we didn't. We don't know. Now it's a year plus on.

Now we're starting to get a better picture. Texas, the number's going down. In Florida, they're well below average because it turns out COVID actually transmits easier indoors. I guess that's what Fauci was saying. And now we're kind of changing that policy for some reason. Biden wants to keep going. I think it's because safety is easier just to absolve themselves of responsibility.

Of course. But if you give up freedom for safety, you lose both and deserve neither. According to one of the great founding fathers. All right. Steve Smithy says, Hey, Tim, love the show. Are you excited for the new Hearthstone expansion? What class are you looking forward to playing the most? Also, if you like card games,

you should check out this upcoming game called The Bazaar. I'm not super... I don't... I used to be way more into Hearthstone. I don't care too much or track the expansions or anything like that. But I do play a lot. I typically just play the Tavern Brawls and the Solo because... Eh.

It's more fun. It's just more fun great youtuber called trump that uh yeah hearthstone vids which i watch a lot of trump um trump mage mage is mage is i like warlock because of the draw yeah but it's slow it's it's just so op the mage getting that one point of damage every turn to just spot removal you know what i mean mage is insane have you preached this one stone it's bl. It's Blizzard's card game. It's awesome. It's like a Warcraft card game.

Nice. All right. So Bass says, DeSantis is already planning an executive order banning vaccine passports in Florida. I need to leave New Jersey.

Yes, sir. You need to leave New Jersey. We left quite a while. We left a little while ago. Only several months at this point. It's been just about half a year or so. Not quite uh yes and so luke went to florida luke went to

florida because of desantis i'm assuming desantis is like we're going to protect people from censorship we're we're going to allow people to be open and live normally and luke was like you can buy guns you can go to the beach you can go to the restaurants and eat food like normal censorship desantis is doing a good job i'm like i want to love desantis so bad but he's actually not really great on censorship um he was very i think he actually signed a bill in israel um that was um in israel yeah it's about bds and as much as i hate the left and they make me crazy i i think that censoring bds what is bds uh boycott divest and sanction yeah it's against the israel against israel yeah and so a lot of people are advocating for it and then some a lot of groups have tried to like ban it in some capacity. Like didn't Congress try to ban it or something? like government mandates on who you can boycott or not. And I think that that's a very

strange and dangerous form of censorship. So I don't like it. It's really simple. I oppose blocking contracts with companies that engage in any capacity in BDS because they're calling for boycotting, divesting or sanctioning Israel. I don't agree with BDS, but they're expressing their political views and their opinions. I do agree with Donald Trump's executive order banning government contracts with companies that engage in critical race theory because the critical race theory trainings are a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. I believe Title VII. It's a big difference.

BDS is here's my opinion and here's what I think we should do. And so we're going to hold this ourselves to this. And the other companies are like, we're engaging in illegal practices. Also, it's a foreign nation. Like you're boycotting a foreign nation. It's not like you're doing something that has any effect on American companies or I don't know. It just it's weird to me to legislate that Americans can't speak out against another nation. It's very to me to legislate that Americans can't speak out against another nation. That's very strange.

Right? And I mean, I know a lot of the right really supports it. But for me, that is a thing. Every time that I'm like, yeah, DeSantis, you're killing it. You're doing great. I think about that. And I'm just like, that's really, it nags at me. It's like.

Yep. You got to be careful for tribalism. Yeah. Because they might just be doing things that are popular with the base. Yeah. Alright, Patrick says, as a proud mountaineer, I've been very happy with how my state has handled COVID. The election and the bills being put through the

legislature right now. Very cool. Yeah, me too. They're so good. I've been watching it all day. My whole feed is cheering for various things that West Virginia passed. The Dallas Dead Eye says, Tim is like, don't believe fake news media, but bet your life on medical media

because they don't lie. Foolish. You see, that is just a gross mischaracterization of my opinions. Here's what I actually think. A good portion of VC-funded digital media outlets is woke rage bait garbage. This stuff has begun infecting

a bunch of major corporate news outlets like CNN, the New York Times. Many of these outlets do report very fine news, but I have to sift through it to try and figure out what's garbled nonsense and what's actually backed up. And even I can't do that all the time. So I actually don't say, you know, I will definitely say question a lot of the stories from the media and fact check them. But I use CNN, The New York Times for various stories, and I use them on purpose because I'm not saying everything they do is bad. I'm saying they have very corrupt components within them. As for the medical media, let me tell you this.

Doctors used to tell you to smoke. They're not always right. And there are risks involved in any of these things. But I'll put it this way, man. I've gotten tons of vaccines. I understand this is rushed. I understand people are taking serious issue with it. I understand Canada has just suspended the AstraZeneca vaccine.

European countries did something similar. There are real conversations happening around whether or not there are going to be serious risks and the long-term effects. My point is that I think you said it best. The older people who are at risk should get it. Younger people probably don't need it. And I'll put it this way. When it comes to vaccines, I go to the doctor and the doctor says, Frozoldazaban and not Nasoprene or whatever. And I'm like, I don't know, dude, I have no idea what that is. I'll Google it and be like, I don't know, what am I supposed to do? Patch me up doc and send me on my way. Talk to your doctor. And I got to be honest, you way talk to your doctor and i got

to be honest you should be trusting your doctor more than you trust me or anybody else your doctor who you talked to talk to is going to know about your health more than dr fauci or trump or me or joe biden or anybody and that's all that really matters man i kind of take a view of like skepticism with any kind of media but also not obtrusivism like don't just reject it at face value just because it comes from the media or the pharmaceutical industry, including these, like, I was just looking up some aspartame studies. There was one about rats in 2006. You looked it up? Yeah, that caused cancer. They said there were problems with the study.

They say they've done more studies on it, never really found a link. You know, that's how I live. I'm skeptical. I got to do my own research, really, and read each study piece by piece. Yeah. Myself says, Tim, I had a dream that you hosted an event at your compound and we went turkey hunting on your property you see a lot of turkeys out there been practicing your calls we have a lot of turkeys the other day we had a group of turkeys just walking through the parking lot

and they're just doing turkey stuff they're chung dude uh we're not gonna kill them though nice yeah so i was asked by the guys at the gun shop they were like you got a lot of turkeys i was like oh one day we probably like 20 or 30 and they were like come on and i'm like no no no we're like you know we're not gonna kill it made me think about andreas was telling me in the sauna the other night we have a sauna by the way it's amazing get in the sauna if you can um that if you play bat sounds did he tell you this i was like how do we get rid of the mosquitoes he's like you play bat sounds, did he tell you this? No. I was like, how do we get rid of the mosquitoes? He's like, you play bat sounds. What? Mosquitoes,

they know that sound. He said he went into a room in South America that was like infested with like thousands of mosquitoes. Like it was disgusting. And they played bat sounds on their phone

and they all left. All the mosquitoes left the room. Because the bats eat them. Yeah. That's very smart. Smorgasbord. So you just blast it out in the backyard.

We got chickens. Sad news though, I tweeted about it. We did lose two of the chickens. And the sad truth is that they were just weak. You know, we talked to the... We went to a local farm. We got some...

We got eight chickens. And they were all fairly young. I think they were like five weeks old. And very quickly, two of them started getting sick and displaying signs of parasites. One of them just dropped dead. And it was like rather abrupt. knew it was sick and i didn't i was like i don't know what to do i googled it and then within like 16 hours of realizing it was sick it was just it just collapsed i went out one morning and it was just standing there all poofed up and chilling came back an hour later and it was collapsed and it was struggling to breathe and then within 20 minutes

gone the next one was was really sad It was a really nice little chicken. And it was active. We got brought to the vet. The vet said, looks like a parasite. We're going to give it some medicine. We did. And then we started on medicine for the first day. And then all of a sudden, it started improving.

She started drinking water, started eating food, and peeping. And I was like, this is fantastic. Next morning, dead. Wow. Yeah, just gone another of our chickens started poofing up stopped he started getting lethargic and i was like oh man because they're they're spreading this parasite so i gave it the medicine at the first sign later in the day chicken was running around eating again next day i gave a medicine seems to be totally fine now but

it is with the medicine because there might be still trace parasites. They basically poop in their own food and then pick at it. They're such nasty little things. Filthy little dinosaurs. Watching these little things walk up to their water, drink, and then turn around and just lift their wings and just dump right in their water. I'm like,

what are you doing? I gotta clean it out. Wow. And they're still alive. But they've learned. The species has persisted. We got stink bugs here like crazy. Like nobody's business. Chickens love stink bugs. They'll eat right out of your hands too and it doesn't hurt. They'll peck at your fingers.

It doesn't hurt. But you give them a stink bug and they'll start chasing each other, fighting over it. I want to do a chicken race where one of them has a stink bug and you just have a long corridor that they run. They're great. They're getting big real fast. I'm excited. Yeah, right now they're in Chicken College in the Chicken City

because they all hang out together and like huddle together. No Marxism though. And then, yeah, there's no Marxism. That's very capitalistic. And then once they're older, there's houses. They'll have to, you know, move into their own homes. No critical chicken theory.

No critical chicken theory. We're watching though to see if it displays naturally. Yeah, it won't clayton pajunas says hey guys i just want to say thanks and share some tendies hopefully my diamond hands gorilla shirt comes soon p.s ian's killing today love y'all oh hey there you go i'm excited for you to get your shirt yeah we uh we got we got them they're downstairs we need to open oh nice i'll wear one tomorrow maybe yeah the diamond hands gorilla so most of you know we have the i am a gorilla shirt it's just a meme about alex jones when he kept saying he was a

gorilla so we made a gorilla saying i'm a gorilla means nothing else really but then because there was the meme from the wall street vets about apes strong together the planet of the apes thing and they use the gorilla emoji i was like let's give our gorilla a suit and hold stacks of cash with a cigar and sunglasses so it's the diamond. See, he's got all this cash because he has diamond hands and he held for as long as possible and then he sold out at the top. I guess diamond hands means you never sell.

I haven't sold. I still have a bunch of AMUs. If it were me, I'd keep it forever. Why not? I mean, AMC. Arsian says to both Ian and Tim, you guys need to do more research on the Council of Nicaea. If you know anything about the history of Catholicism, you would know that Gnostic Bibles were made to subvert Christianity. Narcissism came hundreds of years after Christ.

Constine protected the Bible's legitimacy. Interesting. I think the Palace of Gnosis was a Cretan, a Minoan capital. It was K-N-O-S-S-I-S, not Gnosis. I don't know if they were related. Seemed like a learning place. But Seamus will be here eventually and he is a master of Catholicism.

Yeah, he knows a lot. We could definitely talk about that. That'd be fun. Stephen Pizowski says, I live in Richmond, VA. Cassandra is right. Broad Street, which was the best it's been in 50 years, is still mostly boarded up from the riots. I work in government. Small business applications are down 90%.

I was right where the riots were. And in the Stonewall Jackson statue, we drove past that and stuff. And I was just like, it's not the Richmond that you think of anymore. It was very odd. And yeah, you could see all the riot think of anymore. It was very odd. And yeah, you could see all the riot stuff left over. It was horrible. Yeah.

Dixon says, Ian is soy Moses and I'm here just to watch him take red pills. I will feed you the golden calf. You can eat gold, monatomic or colloidal gold suspended in water. If you go online and look for it. And it's really good for you. It coats the neurons in your brain, causes them to superconduct. If you're stretching and your muscle is going to rip, it'll fill in the rip and you can keep stretching.

Don't take medical advice from me. This is not medical advice. It's a supplement. It's like a food. But apparently gold used to be in the ground and we would get trace – like you want iron in your body. You want trace metals. Vitamin B from dirt too. And we mine so much of it out that we're not getting enough gold in our diets so you supplement

interesting that moses moses would have been all right doctor doctor says a man who is truthful to himself has no secrets and tells no lies has nothing to to fear but himself also change starts from within and flows outwards thank you to all for all Thank you to all for being self-actualized. You're helping others find their way in voice. Much love. Appreciate it. Nice. Thank you.

Hayden says the terrifying cult isn't actually Marxist. It's traditionalists with a capital T. Look into Professor Benjamin Teitelbaum's work on the subject. Greenwald is a fan. This was the Viking aim of Ragnarok, the utopian goal of the Germans in 1930s and others. Yeah, the woke left are not progressives in the actual literal definition. They're very much reactionaries in the literal definition. So reactionaries were those who wanted to maintain the status quo in the French Revolution,

simplifying for sure. And they'll call themselves progressives today because they know it's the only way to convince people because, oh, the progressives are always right. In reality, the things they're implementing are things from a long time ago that we defeated. They're trying to rewind the clock on freedom of speech. They're trying to rewind the clock on racial segregation, and they're getting it. These people are outright reactionaries who are trying to revert the system back to the way it used to be because they don't like the world we're in now. That's like doublespeak at its finest. it progressivism that's what they do wow

the anti-fascists and they go around beating people the worst part for that i've been thinking about a lot is that there's white moms that are pushing all this white men bad stuff online and in the ballot box and it's just like how what kind of culture and society has moms that are doing these things that are against their own children's self-interest or their own children's interest did you see that emily radichkowski article for vogue where she's like i had a friend who was pregnant and she would look at her sleeping husband with disgust saying there was nothing worse than a peacefully sleeping white man in patriarchy or something. Oh my God. And she was shocked that she was bringing another white man into the world.

She cried. Yeah, she cried. And then she later finally learned that she could love her husband again. That is psychopathic. I'm trying to like put myself in the position of a kid that had it when I had to hear that it would have messed me up so bad if i thought i was just inherently a problem but that's all that the kids are hearing right now that's what they're hearing with critical race theory that's what they're hearing with these stupid sesame street programs and all this propaganda that's

flooding all the time i mean you're having white supremacy they're talking about how like shooting mass shootings are white supremacy when it's mostly not white people or that they're talking about how mass shootings are white supremacy when it's mostly not white people or that they're the ones attacking Asians, mostly not white people. Mass shootings are mostly white people. No. I looked it up. No. Look up the...

There's a website that has actual photos of every single one from 2020. The thing, you're probably not counting gang shootings. I just looked up the hard numbers for shootings of four people or more and it's like 66 white and like 22 black then they're not counting gang shootings there's some websites that don't count them ah not to look into it all right shameless girlfriend says first super chat absolutely love the members only jack murphy content cross smack openness is the most og video on the tube hoping for a shout out to steve cronin early victim of youtube censorship

and true libertarian cross smack openness was my first youtube video it's on my cross mac channel which was my old my old email address and uh thank you for that i love it's real man freedom thoughts says tim you've been talking a lot about how the far left likes guns. That's definitely true. But for how long? I think once they gain power, they'd strip them. On another note, you should make some Timcast logo stickers for cars, perhaps. And you're probably right.

One hundred percent. Once they gain power, it depends. The actual libertarian left pro-gun will always be pro-gun and want to be hippies on a farm with their guns and say, leave us alone. We share in the fruits of our labor. And that's how it works. actual libertarian left pro-gun will always be pro-gun and want to be hippies on a farm with their guns and say, leave us alone. We share in the fruits of our labor. And that's how it works. There's like a famous commune has a hundred people and they mind their own business. That doesn't scale up. You can't make a 330 million government based on left libertarianism. Sorry, it doesn't make sense. Right libertarianism does because capitalism is a structure by which

people can associate and form, you know, an economy. And then you have the authoritarian left, which is the natural progression of the libertarian left when they realize they can't actually scale up their world. So then they become they are pro-gun. And then once they realize the only way to maintain their system at scale is to oppress people, then they do. There you go. All right. The breeze says, I don't know. The Breeze job application.

Remember when you said you would read people's application if they sent you $50? No. That was a joke. Wow. Here's $100, so read it twice. Love you guys. Well, we will just search the Gmail for The Breeze. We'll see what we can find.

Love. All right. Let's see. We got a couple more here. EY says, what is it? Sun son say i don't know what that is son say is uh son jan's son he was a chinese warlord from the wu province southeast china son say you run the the well he's not speaking uh chinese or whatever he's saying the son say and then there's like i don't know s-u-n-c-e no no different sunset sun julie simone says thanks for bringing cassandra back i get her passion for west virginia

i recently relocated from ca to florida and feel the same the level of personal respect for people in florida is so refreshing after seven years in california awake not woke hi ian hi there you go yeah i that's awesome congratulations on getting out of there i lived in california for a decade and i yeah me too would never want to go back goosey goose's idea for merch don't tread on me but with baby chickens instead of snake also hello cassandra keep it the good fight uh your friend goose that'd be great little chicks don't tread on me one of i think it should be a goose like attacking somebody that'd be awesome yeah because like gooses are nuts when i when i yeah they're crazy geese when i was i can't remember i can't remember the name

of the park in california echo park no no no the one the one that's off of uh wilshire close to um east over there yeah yeah it's East it's named after a soldier right is it MacArthur Grant Park no it is MacArthur yeah I think

MacArthur Park there's a bunch of crazy geese and they are massive and they harass you they go they chase after you you're like

get out of here and they'll peck at you and like give me food they charge you yeah I'm terrified of birds except for chickens.

I can deal with chickens. We probably killed off all the geese that could fly because those things are nasty. They could fly at you. They're all food. I can't. All right, we'll just do

a couple more here. Geese are the worst. Sonny James says, I literally watched a Reuters article edited like three times. The unvaccinated fear exclusion. They think they edited the title. I swear the original I watched says those on the green passport are told what they can and cannot do.

I saved it before RT Reuters edited. You can go to archive.is and drop a link and it'll clone the website archiving it for basically ever. And that's one thing you can do if you're trying to track these changes. Z McKnight says, I am also from Southside, Richmond. The city isn't growing and that's why I left. The leadership isn't good in the River City. That's a bummer, man.

When these cities start falling apart because, you know, you get bad leadership because people, you know, many people aren't paying attention bad leadership comes in destroys the city good people leave the city keeps falling in a downward spiral it's a brain drain i love studying history for that reason like civilizations are so transient there's never been one that's lasted more than i don't know a couple thousand years that we know of well they like will break apart and then reform under similar

names or the same groups and it's like i'll put myself in the mind of an Athenian looking at the beautiful towers and structures and thinking this is the greatest that's ever come. And it will never end because it's so great. And then it would just get wrecked by an external military, by a plague, by an earthquake. Like none of this is forever. All right. Last super chat. The most important path of resilience says geese are essentially cobra chickens. Yes.
