Tonight on TimCast IRL, Maryland man fatally shot by police, quote, while asleep in his bedroom.
Conspiracy or just warrants gone wrong?
Warrants gone wrong.
What's up, everybody?
The lead story we have for you was requested by a lot of people. We started looking into it.
We got some articles pulled up. It's about a man named Duncan Lemp who was killed by police.
They were serving a warrant, and witnessesemp, who was killed by police, they were serving a warrant.
And witnesses say that he was just sleeping and the cops started firing through the door.
I don't know.
They're like wearing masks or something.
It's like a crazy story.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know if there's too much in the way of like legit reporting on what's really going on.
We got a couple stories.
But this really does fall in line with a couple things.
Well, I should say with one real thing it's these red flag laws right where they basically serve a warrant
without you knowing and they're like we're coming to take your your guns and then people are like
no you're not and then they get killed it's happening a lot because the people who said
my cold dead hands yeah they meant it yep so welcome to the show everybody i am tim pool this
is uh adam what's up everybody we got to lydia lydia behind the scenes we are working on the They meant it. hit that like button and share and share make sure you tell everyone we are really awesome people
please do yeah say say you must come and and watch this amazing show especially that soy jesus guy
yeah soy jesus he's a vegan but you'll like him you will like him no that's funny because he's
not a pushy vegan right but no that there are people saying like i once thought that uh soy
jesus was a soy boy but then i realized he's actually a soy chad and i was like all right
there you go nice soy bro yeah yeah so we got it we have a bunch of stories we'll see what we get
to but we're gonna talk about atlantis as well because we were talking about the other day
and i think to get away from the coronavirus and politics we're like let's just talk about
some weird stuff weird stuff's fun you know i like weird stuff there's a there was a viral
video on youtube where people were claiming they discovered Atlantis.
I love it.
They were like, this is where it is.
And then jerks were like, no, this is not where it is.
And so we have the debunk article.
We'll figure it out.
We're going to –
I have something that I want to be true and believe.
But I'll talk about it when we're talking about the subject.
Well, so this first story, I read the article, the Duncan Lemp one, and it's a similar story we hear a lot.
So I didn't know if there's anything – I don't know how to actually address what's happening.
People think it's like some grand conspiracy.
Somebody commented in the Super Chat this guy was working on some kind of encrypted program or Bitcoin or something like that.
Yeah, I haven't seen anything, but it feels like if he was, they would probably want to keep it under wraps, you know, whatever it was.
But I'm sure someone out there knows and just doesn't want to say anything because if this happened to, you know, the person they know that was working on it.
Yeah.
There have been a handful of people who have died under mysterious circumstances.
Indeed.
Suicide, et cetera.
I know someone personally.
Who have been working on some crazy stuff.
Oh, I don't know if you want to bring that up.
Yeah, that's another subject.
The chat will light up.
It falls in line with this a little bit, if this is the case.
And it involves a very, very high-profile individual.
It really does.
What is he talking about?
Isn't everybody all excited right now?
I know.
What could it be?
All right, yeah, so let's just go into this.
If it comes out, if it comes along. We'll see what happens.
All right. Here we go. The guardian. This is a story from March 14th, Maryland man,
fatally shot by police while asleep in his bedroom. Montgomery County police at Duncan
Socrates Lemp confronted officers as eyewitnesses gave contrary account.
They report a Maryland man who was shot and killed by a police officer was asleep in his bedroom when police opened fire from outside his house.
An attorney for the 21-year-old man's family said on Friday the man's girlfriend was also wounded.
The Montgomery County Police Department said in a news release, Duncan Socrates Lemp confronted
police and was shot by one of the officers early on Thursday. But Renee Sandler, an attorney for Lemp's relatives, said an eyewitness gave a completely
contrary account of the shooting. She said police could have absolutely no justification for
shooting Lemp based on what she has heard about the circumstances. The facts, as I understand them
from eyewitnesses, are incredibly concerning. The warrant police obtained to search the Potomac home
Lemp shared with his parents and 19-year-old brother does not mention any imminent threat to law enforcement or to the
public, Lemp's relatives said in a statement released by their lawyers.
Nobody in the house that morning had a criminal record, the statement said.
Any attempt by the police to shift responsibility onto Duncan or his family,
who were sleeping when police fired shots into their home, is not supported by the facts.
A police department spokesman did not immediately respond to statements from the family or their
lawyer. Not surprising. The department's news release said tactical unit members were serving
a high-risk search warrant around 4.30 a.m. when one officer fatally shot Lemp. Police detectives
recovered three rifles and two handguns from the home, Lemp was prohibited from possessing firearms, police said.
Detectives were following up on a complaint from the public that Lemp, though prohibited,
was in possession of firearms, the release said, without elaborating.
Sandler said the family believes police fired gunshots, not a flashbang or other projectile,
from outside the home, including through Lemp's bedroom window, while he and his girlfriend were
sleeping. Nobody in the home heard any warnings or commands before police opened fire. There is
no warrant or other justification that would ever allow for that unless there is an imminent threat,
which there was not. The police released said facts and circumstances of the encounter
were still under investigation. Prosecutors from neighboring Howard County will review the evidence
at the conclusion of the investigation. So I guess we'll wait and see.
But I have a feeling this will get buried.
Definitely.
It feels like it's going to get buried.
I mean, it's interesting that they were just—let me scroll up a little bit.
It says detectives were following up on a complaint from the public.
That's it?
They're going—that's the reason they went and got a warrant?
Because the public was complaining that he had guns?
No way, dude.
Who was complaining?
Who knew a guy with no criminal record was not allowed to have a weapon?
Exactly.
And then it's like, wait, why was he prohibited to have weapons?
I don't know.
It doesn't say.
It doesn't say that either.
It's like, what?
And the biggest thing, if they had a confrontation with him, that means they saw him and they would have shot him.
How did his girlfriend get wounded?
Because they fired into the window.
That doesn't make any sense to me.
Were they just be like
just shooting in the general direction?
No, they're trained to aim
at the person. Well, it was dark.
Okay, and they
saw he had a gun and said
put it down and he didn't so they would
shoot at him. Why would his girl
be there with him if she
was sleeping would she follow him right stand right behind him during this whole thing well
so we have this story it's from the american conservative this is really interesting because
we're starting to see you know the left for the longest time has decried police brutality and a
lack of accountability yeah now especially with red flag laws conservatives are also saying basically the same thing and then it is interesting too when you see there's a lack of accountability. Yeah. Now, especially with red flag laws, conservatives are also saying basically the same thing. And then it is interesting, too,
when you see there's a lot of sheriffs and police who are saying they refuse to serve
like confiscation orders or anything like that. So we'll see how far that, you know,
whoever it is who wants to push these laws, we'll see how far they take it. Yeah. But this story
from the American conservative says the mystery deepens over the pre-dawn police killing of Duncan Lemp.
Well, that's an interesting thing, too.
The pre-dawn, 4.30 a.m.
They show up in the middle, you know, hours in the morning.
And is it to catch them sleeping?
Because they did.
That's what they found.
They caught them sleeping.
Yep.
And they were wearing masks.
Yep.
Dude.
And as that eyewitness said, they didn't announce themselves.
They didn't like, this is a, we're serving a warrant.
Yeah, they would have woken up.
If you're waking up at 4.30, hearing someone breaking into your house without hearing that they're the police, what do you think it's going to be?
It's a robber or someone coming to shoot you.
Oh, this happens all the time.
Why wouldn't you like grab the, you know, your defense?
Yep.
You know?
And defend yourself.
Dude, there are tons of stories like that where there's, like, no-knock raids with plain-clothes cops.
That's insane.
And then people are like, here's a strange man wearing regular clothes in my house with
a gun.
That's crazy, man.
And then you end up in prison.
Yeah, there's a bunch of stories like that.
Jeez, dude.
I don't understand it.
So we have this story from the 18th, from the American Conservative,
saying, under pressure by media criticism, the police department issued a detailed statement this afternoon, purportedly exonerating itself. That's my favorite one. We investigated ourselves
and found we did nothing wrong. Yeah, what are the odds? That statement, the third revision of
their official account of the fatal raid, is contradicted by multiple eyewitnesses.
Police now say that the raid was spurred by an anonymous tip at the beginning of the year, indicating that Lemp was in possession
of firearms. A response from the Lemp family delivered by their lawyer, Renee Sandler,
noted, using a three-month-old anonymous tip, the police sought and obtained a no-knock search
warrant on March 11, 2020, at 2.38 p.m. The police department states the warrant was served in the early morning hours
consistent with Montgomery County Department of Police practice. So an anonymous tip is all it
takes for a SWAT team to launch violent pre-dawn assaults on Montgomery County homes, the press
statement declared. Three months old. Yeah. The officers entering the residence announced
themselves as police and that they were serving a search warrant. Why did they obtain a no-knock warrant if they intended to enter the residence and announce
themselves? Yeah, because they're full of it. According to the statement from family members,
the raid began when SWAT officers initiated gunfire and flashbangs through Duncan Lemp's
bedroom window in the front of the house. According to the police, upon making contact
with Lemp, officers identified themselves as police and gave him multiple orders to show his
hands. The press release reads almost as if Lemp, officers identified themselves as police and gave him multiple orders to show his hands.
The press release reads almost as if Lemp died from an overwhelming sense of guilt rather than being shot perhaps multiple times by police.
It also doesn't specify whether they'd shot or otherwise wounded Lemp before making contact and issuing commands.
According to Lemp's pregnant girlfriend, who was in bed.
What?
Wow.
How did they leave that out of the story?
Oh, that's F. pregnant girlfriend who was in bed. Wow. How did they leave that out of the story? Yeah. And she
said, police never made
verbal commands upon either
her or Duncan until after Duncan
was shot and lay bleeding on the floor.
Wow. The press release declares, upon
entrance by officers into Lemp's bedroom,
Lemp was found to be in possession of a rifle
and was located directly in front of the
interior bedroom entrance door.
Was he, quote, found to be in possession as he lay on the floor bleeding?
And was it Lemp or the rifle that was directly, quote, in front of the interior bedroom entrance
door? The police claim to be vindicated because they found five firearms in the house and because
they asserted today that Lemp had a criminal history as a juvenile. I thought they said
there was no criminal history in the other article from The Guardian. That prohibited him
from legally possessing or purchasing firearms in the state of Maryland
until the age of 30.
Did the police have a right to kill anyone who possesses a firearm in violation of any
statute on the books?
If so, that's bad news for the tens of thousands of Maryland gun owners who are federal felons
because they use marijuana and or other illicit drugs.
The police department has offered a sham of transparency.
They refused to
answer any of my questions last Friday. I sent another set of questions to them this morning
prior to the latest revision of their story among them. Many people online have suggested that Lemp
was targeted for a raid because he was helping to build a secure computer site for people who
shared his pro-gun political beliefs. Is that allegation correct? Did concerns about Lemp's
political beliefs or associations
factor into the SWAT team's decision to launch a violent raid at 4.30 a.m.? Did the SWAT team or
other police department or Montgomery County officials do any assessment of the likelihood
that someone would be injured or killed by a nighttime SWAT raid that began with shooting
or flashbangs? Did Montgomery County police or other officials make any effort or even consider
making an effort to serve the search warrant in any way that would have permitted the peaceful
voluntary cooperation of Lemp family members? He goes on to say that he sent these to them.
He asked some other questions. So, you know, in the end, he says the Montgomery County Police
Department doesn't have a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent after it kills county residents.
The SWAT team wore body cams and police have thus far refused to release the footage. They deserve no benefit of the doubt for this violent killing. Yeah, I want to see that
body cam footage. Yeah, man, bring it out. I don't care what your politics are. How are you not
showing that? And if the fact that you're not makes me not believe anything you're saying,
police. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. You wear them for this reason.
Have you ever seen that video where the
cop thinks he's turning his body cam off and he turns
it on and then films himself planting drugs?
Wow. I haven't seen that.
But I'm not surprised.
That's crazy.
Yeah, dude. This kind of stuff happens all
the time. So, look.
People have been saying this guy was developing
some kind of encrypted chat system or something and all also the cops came in and took them out. You know,
the issue I take with that for the most part is, is that enough to kill? Like there's,
there's companies that have encryption that have resisted national security letters and then been
shut down. You know, they're, they're activists, uh, websites that do email that have the feds
come and seize their servers would some dude working
on this warrant like an assassination by the state i wouldn't yeah who knows i don't know
it could be it could be an attempt to like restrain him in some capacity that went wrong
okay like they know maybe he was warned already or something no no like no i'm gonna i'm still
doing no no like in that was them being like we want to put pressure on him to get him to stop what he's doing.
But overzealous SWAT guys were like, let her rip.
I don't know, man.
You know what the issue is?
I interviewed an NYPD detective, and he told me, this was years ago, he said there's nothing more dangerous, and this is a little hyperbolic, than a scared person holding a gun.
And you have these police officers who keep saying, I'm scared for my life.
I was scared for my life.
And he's like, well, if you're scared, go home to your mother.
Because this job is not for people who are terrified all the time.
That's a good point.
And this is an NYPD cop.
He told me a story about how he had his gun.
He confronted a crazy guy who had his gun drawn, and he refused to draw his weapon.
And he was like, because if I draw, I'm escalating that conflict.
And now that guy, we're getting in a shoot-off. was like bro i'm not gonna draw i'm gonna keep my hands up
and i'm gonna talk to you there's no way out of this you got to put it down eventually the guy
put it down and they took care of things now that's that's a cop right that's policing right
that's a good cop awesome and you see that you ever see that story i think it was from brazil
a guy comes in a hospital he's got a knife and the guy just the cop just like sits down and puts
his hands up starts talking to the guy.
And this might have been in Thailand or something.
But then eventually he convinces the guy to drop the knife and gives him a hug.
Awesome.
Talk about people who are brave and heroes who actually shut these things down.
Yeah.
Look, I get it, man.
I was talking to – I can't remember where I saw this, but I was reading a story about some cops and their mentality when it comes to dangerous situations.
Okay.
And I've talked to some people who have served, like, who have done law enforcement stuff.
And there's, like, this idea that some of them say is, I'm not going to risk my life for you.
I'm at work.
And so there needs to be some kind of cultural honor, you know, within this, you know, within police culture, I guess, where it's not
about you going, going to work and dealing with annoying people. It's about you being a hero who's
supposed to defend the community. That's a good point. And that means you are held to a higher
standard. It means you are at risk and it means that, that yes, you will put yourself on the line,
you know, to, to do the right thing. So I can understand. It's like, if, if, if you're walking
up to a car, cause I've seen, I've also seen these videos man where uh because they release body cam stuff for
this too a cop is walking up to a car and then the guy in the front and then he walks up and
he's like license and registration and then the dude reaches down and pulls out a gun he goes pop
pop pop pop yeah and the guy starts screaming i've seen those videos and i'm sure every single cop
has seen those too so they're like we know exists. There's people that just simply hate cops.
Doesn't matter who, what kind of cop.
Like, it could have been the best cop, you know, who walked up and would have probably let him off.
But it doesn't matter.
They had drugs in the car or, like, something, something, warrants.
Right.
And they're like, there's nothing that's going to stop me from killing this cop and getting out of here.
Because that's the fight or flight triggers, you know.
Who was that guy?
Was it Alton Sterling? Was that his name? Yeah. It wasn triggers you know who was that guy was it um
alton sterling was that his name yeah it wasn't the guy who was in his car i hope i'm getting
the right name let me check but there was a guy who was a legal gun owner okay and and the cop
came up to his car yeah and said something like you know license license and insurance or whatever
and then he asked me if he was armed and uh the dude was like i am i have a permit and a concealed weapon and the cop was like don't reach for it he's like
i'm not and he goes don't reach for it i'm not pop pop pop pop pop wow and the girlfriend was
filming it that wasn't the guy who was in his car but yeah there was a guy who was sitting in his
car that wasn't i got the name wrong to get his id yeah i forget his name i think his name was
philip philip castile yeah philando philando Castile. Was that it? Let's see.
When was this?
A while ago or recently?
A few years ago.
2016?
Yeah, he was pulled over while driving in Falcon Heights, Minnesota and killed.
So this is interesting to me, right? I think we're absolutely allowed to have a discussion about gun control stuff, but this
is what we're getting from it.
They pull up to a guy who's a legal gun owner.
Philando Castile.
That was his name, right?
Yeah, that was his name.
All right, cool.
Who's Alton Sterling?
Was another one of these people?
Yeah, he's the riot guy.
Oh, okay, okay.
Was that Maryland?
Was that Baltimore?
I think that was in Baltimore.
All right.
I think.
Check out this story from 2018.
And I gotta be honest,
I just Google searched red flag law,
like killed.
And then it's like all these stories pop up
where the police get a warrant
to come to someone's property and take their guns without them knowing, without giving them a reason, without serving them.
They just walk up and say, turn them over.
You got to realize like the people who own weapons believe in their right to own weapons and the Constitution straight up says you can.
Yeah, exactly.
You want to have a discussion about changing that?
I got no problem.
We'll have a discussion.
But if you didn't change it, you can't just show up and then shoot somebody because they refused to turn it over.
But they're doing it.
Dude, there's tons of stories like this, and it's crazy.
It's pretty insane.
There's one.
This might be it.
Like, basically, look at this.
A 61-year-old man is dead after he was shot by an officer trying to enforce Maryland's
new red flag law in Ferndale Monday morning.
And a Rundale County police confirmed the police involved shooting
happened on the 100 block of Linwood Avenue. Yeah, we get it. At 5 a.m., 515 a.m. Of course.
Yep. 517. According to police, two officers serving a new extreme risk protective order,
a Maryland protective order to remove guns from a household, shot and killed the man listed on
that order. Under the law, family police, mental health professionals can all ask for the protective orders to remove weapons. The man was identified as Gary J. Willis
of the same address. Officials said Willis answered the door while holding a handgun.
Willis then placed the handgun next to the door. When officers began to serve him the order,
Willis became irate and grabbed his gun. One of the officers tried to take the gun from Willis,
but instead Willis fired the gun. The second officer fired a gun striking Willis. He died at the scene. Yeah, this is this
was someone saying my cold dead hands straight up. Yeah. Cops showed up and they were like,
we're taking your guys like, nope. And he went to grab it. They fought for it. And he was like,
nope. So, you know, all of these people, these gun grabber type peoples, you realize
these people mean it. Yeah. There's a constitution that says you can't take it and there's there's a serious conundrum i don't understand how these red flag red flag laws
got passed in the first place because it's a direct violation of the constitution right it
makes no sense well the argument is that the argument is that there are limits on the on the
amendments like within uh free speech you know you can be sued for slander.
And if you threaten someone's life, you can be charged with, you know, threatening someone's life.
Right, okay.
So their argument is that this is, if somebody has a mental illness, they shouldn't have a weapon.
So someone else can flag them.
Yeah.
Which is abused.
So what is the, yeah, exactly.
That's the problem.
It's abused.
It said, like, the family, what is it?
Who can do it?
The family, the police officers
uh mental health professionals uh under the law yeah so it's like a family member just
is upset with you or like an ex or mad at you well i mean yep as an ex would they would that
count with you like your ex-wife so sure okay separated just simply hates you yeah exactly
like i'm wants you out wants you out of the house and wants to go and take stuff or something who knows but you're armed and they're like you know what i'm gonna i
can abuse this law yeah yeah yikes and there are people who are not going to give it up so this is
you know this all leads into you know what we've been seeing recently there was a there was a viral
thread where somebody went through a list of all of our rights that were just erased due to the
pandemic and it's a lot.
Really?
Oh, yeah, man.
The right to assemble, to worship, like our expression is being threatened.
You can't go outside at all.
And these are all violations of the First Amendment.
The government shall not be able to do this.
They just did it and no one did anything.
So this is what worries me because, look, I think it's fair to say that the coronavirus is a serious threat.
It's happening all over the world.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It's not like all these countries are in on it.
It's a pandemic for a reason.
Right.
But then do we just cheer when all of a sudden our constitutional rights don't exist anymore?
I mean, are they written so that it's just an indefinite thing now?
Or is it because of the pandemic, during the pandemic, until the pandemic ends pandemic ends not saying i like any of this you're saying two years is that written is that written in there
so in it's written into these laws for two years you can't assemble no no you can't protest like
maryland in groups maryland's law is indefinite this red flag stuff no no maryland's you know
quarantine decree basically it's it's it's there's no time limit it
straight up says you can't do these things period that's and we'll let you know when we revoke this
law that's not yeah they're they're screaming about hungary because uh victor orban gets decree
power and i'm like yeah that's a bad thing yeah they just did it here in the u.s and all these
different states yeah power it's the same thing i'm i'm annoyed with all the people who go out
and don't care and ignore you know quarantine stuff because like's like it's not that big a deal, man.
You don't you don't you don't go fight in the front lines.
You don't got to risk your life.
Just stay home.
It's going to be boring.
And there is within reason how long we can we can we can do this.
Yeah, I don't think you know what they've been saying is 12 to 18 months, two months on one month off, that kind of thing until we have a vaccine.
But I don't like
the idea of just blindly trusting the government i agree for now i'm looking at these other
countries and i'm like okay i think it's clear to see like there's not an international cabal
conspiracy yeah to you know make this stuff happen but never let a good crisis go to waste
so like victor orban for instance in hung a, uh, or they're proposing a law, a bill that would change their, their, uh,
all the laws that say the word gender to gender at birth. Okay. So it's like, but that's a political
ideological move. And while I understand what they're doing and to a certain degree, I agree
with like protecting civil rights for biological females. I understand. I do i agree with like protecting civil rights for biological females i understand i do not agree with like oh what's that we got decree power because we're under a pandemic
now let's do a bunch of political agenda items that we want to get done because no one can stop
us yeah it's messed up i agree yeah i just saw uh gavin newsom talking about this i think it was
he's like this is the best time to push our progressive minds into the world i was like
yeah we know what did what did uh What did Clybourne say to Pelosi?
Now is our chance to shape things into our vision.
Into our vision.
That's messed up, man.
Dude, these people are evil.
Dude.
Like, to just...
And the problem is people who want to be fair and rational and good faith and have an honest conversation typically don't want to be in charge.
Yeah, that's true. have an honest conversation typically don't want to be in charge yeah but these sociopaths who
think they're smarter than you want to be in charge so they run for office yeah they get elected
and then they start seizing power and doing really stupid things and you know what most people don't
pay attention so just that's why i want to vote for tim pool 2024 yeah man i'm on it no but i'll
tell you what how about we do this we'll hop over to those super chats. Yeah. And then we will talk about
the next story we have is
this is not the apocalypse
you were looking for. Yep. Pop culture
has inundated with
catastrophe porn for decades.
None of that has prepared us for our new reality.
No zombies. So we're going to continue
the conversation into dystopian nightmare, but
unfortunately for all of you,
man, is it so boring
like the most boring apocalypse ever two out of ten you know zombies i mean we're getting drones
and police raids and like i wanted it i guess we're kind of like 1984 you know what it hasn't
really hit the fan that's true here's what i demand so trump is doing daily press briefings
true i would like the camera to be just straight on his face so you see nothing but his face in the TV when he talks.
And I want him to start with a routine of calisthenics.
Yes.
Before we get started on the pandemic, everybody,
10 squat thrusts.
Let's go.
And it's just his face talking.
That's excellent.
Now jumping jacks.
Oh, he's not doing anything himself.
No, no, no.
He's just telling everybody.
He's standing
at the podium but the camera zooms into his face three good job yes at least big at least 1984
would be funny then i'd be like i guess so that's true and they put cameras on all the tvs and they
watch you do it for those uh who are watching we have returned the globe the gloves back we have
yes and we kept the ufo ufo is getting close to the earth tell us what you think there you go
All right, let's grab these super chats
And then we will we will carry on from there King Canuck says saw Jeremy's update on what's happening with you and Chris
Anyone else here who wants to ask about it go watch those videos and don't bother Tim about it tonight

Also, Tim, literally on Crowder tonight on Skype.
And you may have noticed, hold on,
that I had to rig this weird camera setup.
We had to test the Skype.
It was so annoying.
And it's choppy,
and I'm going like this on camera.
He really is a robot.
Because the frame rate was like nine frames per second
or something really awful.
Sure.
I think the beanie was just on low power. Dude, we are not set up for skype it is the worst we i hate it we might be able to but
the thing the issue with uh skype is that getting the camera system to go into skype versus what we
use with our live production software totally totally different so annoying yeah so having
someone it's not so much even about being set up for Skype. It's also just like we wanted to be an in-person show podcast, not another, you know, because
everybody, you know, just like you could do a Skype conversation easily.
We were actually bringing guests out, sitting them down, having conversations, you know,
jerky and stuff.
They can't run away and they can't turn the camera off.
Yeah.
Especially now because we'll have them trapped in the middle.
Like, ha ha.
Got you.
Can't leave.
Perfect.
This is the plan, yes.
Beanie sandwich.
All right, let's grab some more.
Sketchy.
Yeah, also I'm like on Crowder tonight and I was like, wait a minute.
He's two places at once.
That's so weird.
Like people are going to, like our views are, we have less concurrent viewers today than
we have in the past few days.
We always do on Thursdays.
But I'm like, maybe it's because I'm on Crowder and people are like, I'm going to watch Tim
on Crowder because that'll be fun.
It was fun.
Crowder's cool. Tim is taking people away from us. Yeah. That's all right. I'm competing with maybe it's because I'm on Crowder. And people are like, I'm going to watch Tim on Crowder because that'll be funny. It was fun. Crowder's cool.
Tim is taking people away from us.
Yeah.
That's all right.
I'm competing with myself.
Dude.
All right.
Let's see what we got here.
Wolf Spain says, hey, Tim, if you were to buy a gun, would you go ahead and buy it?
Or would you go to a gun range to learn how to use it properly first?
Well, of course I'd go to a range.
And I did.
When I was covering a story in Ferguson about the riots and everything.
I thought it would be appropriate to actually go to a range, talk to people and fire weapon so that I could get a general just a little feel for like, you know, I don't think it was appropriate.
Well, I'll put it this way.
People who don't know anything about guns trying to report on guns is ridiculous.
Agreed.
The very the very the bare minimum was like, I'll go to a range.
And I had really, really good precision, and I had bad accuracy.
Okay.
So when I aimed for the center of the target, I missed, but I nailed the crotch ten times in a row.
Stay away from Tim.
But no, this is a good thing.
I can't remember what he said, but he explained to me what I was doing wrong.
Okay.
Like, I was tensing up, so I was pointing.
Before I would pull the trigger, the gun would tilt down okay but he was like you're you're able to hit in the same area
over and over again you just need to correct for you know what you're doing when you like you pull
you something like that i can't remember right this was like six years ago and me i've spent
time in texas so i know what i'm doing with a gun by osmosis yeah it's true i went to uh fairly
accurate there was a there's an event at DEFCON, the Hacker Convention, every year.
Sure.
They do...
I forget what it's called, but they bring out all these crazy guns.
It was awesome.
They go out in the middle of the desert.
Cool.
And I got to watch...
Like, this dude had a belt-fed...
I could be wrong, because I know very little about guns.
But it was like...
I think it was a belt-fed, like, old World War II 7.62 or something like that.
Like, it had a huge belt.
My goodness. And it was massive. It was one of those like old World War II, 7.62 or something like that. Like it had a huge belt.
My goodness. And it was massive.
It was one of those?
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
That's so cool.
And I brought a drone because what I wanted to do was fly the drone and have it carry a target.
And then have them just go at it.
And they were like, well.
Until the drone gets hit.
Right.
And I was like, I'm down.
Oh, you didn't care.
Well, the drone was broken a little bit but still flew.
Oh, okay.
So it was fine. So the problem was that the controller was broken. It could still go up and down
Okay, and so I was like it's busted man. I can't do anything with it
There's no warranty or anything and I was like obviously I don't want you to break it But if it broke and then I tried to fly it and then I brought the propellers
Oh for people I'm like let's lift this target up the weight when it was going up the the
This strings I had tied to it were slightly off.
So it went up.
It tilted from the weight lifting it and then flipped and then crashed.
And the propellers broke and then I couldn't fly it anymore.
So I was like, you guys can keep it.
Like, it works, but you'll have to figure it out.
That's cool.
But it's cool.
So the video's on my main channel from a few years ago.
And it's like they had all of these different kinds of guns it was crazy
and they were doing they were doing uh like a speed shooting contest where there's like
five there's a post with like five targets yeah yeah and you have to go like
yeah cool stuff yeah that sounds like fun did you ever see the uh keanu reeves doing the yeah dude
john wick that dude knows what he's doing yeah amazing i want him on my team yeah seriously
that guy trained.
We'll see how he does in, well, they're probably going to do more John Wick, but they're doing
John Wick 4.
They are, right?
The Matrix 4.
No, no, no.
Oh, the Matrix.
No, not that.
How are they doing?
I don't care.
I'm down.
Yeah, I am too.
I am so down.
I'm for sure.
Kyle Buchanan says, Lydia, your Twitter is the best thing.
Your Tweety.
Your Twitter is the best thing I read.
If you want a crazy good show, watch Joe Rogan with Graham Hancock.
Thanks, man.
I will look it up.
Dark Renji says, good evening, guys.
I hope you're all having a good day.
I saw the Quarter Rings video, and they made me respect you more.
Stay strong, homie.
Appreciate it.
Samuel says, F, thank you.
Yes.
Expert says, were you able to see the Ecuador situation?
No.
What's going on in Ecuador?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Yeah.
All right.
What do we got here?
Joseph Kester says,
hey, Beanie Brigade,
I sent a link to the Tim Kester IRL Instagram
full of compiled statistics and data about COVID,
infection rates,
number of people dying with previous conditions,
et cetera, by country too.
Cool.
Cool.
I want to see that.
Here we go.
Indivisual says, they delayed The Last by country two. Cool. Cool. I want to see that. Here we go.
Indivisual says,
they delayed The Last of Us 2.
Really?
Yeah, I heard about that.
Isn't that the,
like,
people were complaining
because it went like
social justice-y or something?
Did it?
I don't know.
I think it's like the,
The second game?
Yeah,
that's the one about the little girl
who,
like,
and the zombies.
No,
I didn't know there was zombies.
The Last of Us?
Oh,
yeah.
Isn't that the one where
like something different maybe yeah like the mush like the fungus takes over their brains
i never played it but i heard it was really good it does appear that they went in a leftward
direction the last of us two is not meant to be fun says neil druckman what what's the heck and
why would i buy it yeah it's a game right right? No, it's a chore. Apparently.
I don't want to do video game chores.
Yeah, dude.
I never liked it.
Yeah, no thanks.
So what's happening in Ecuador is bodies are piling up in the streets.
From coronavirus?
Yeah.
Whoa.
Oh, man.
That sucks.
You know what I really want to do?
Can we figure out if I don't want to start the world on fire is public domain yet?
I will look it up.
Is it?
It's a great song.
I mean, I could play it.
No, because if it's not public domain, then they'll turn the stream off.
They'll disable audio.
Just because I'm covering it?
It would be a cover.
Oh, you play it on the guitar.
Yeah, I can actually play the song.
I think that's fine.
I would think so.
Okay.
It's from 1938.
It's a great song.
So good thing you mentioned that because things published 1924 or earlier, including those
voluntary placed in
public domain i gotta wait 14 years to be able to play that music yeah so for those that aren't
familiar it's the song from fallout 3 sing it no okay it's a it's a or 76 is also in 76 oh is it
really yeah it's i don't want to set the world by the ink spots yeah yeah great good song man
all right well john terry says tim needs a Zeppelin engineer t-shirt.
I have spoken.
I mean, yeah, I'm down.
That'd be funny.
I dig it.
Like me with like goggles on and I'm like, you know, pulling like a Zeppelin flying.
Well, it's cool.
The next thing we got the UFO.
We got the earth.
Then we'll have a little Zeppelin over here.
It looks like it's floating above the earth.
We can get like spinning around.
Yeah.
That'd be so cool.
Oh, my.
Chuck Morris says, Soylent Jesus is people. It's around. Yeah, that'd be so cool. Oh my, Chuck Morris says Soylent Jesus
is people. It's people.
Well, it's person.
I actually never saw that movie.
Soylent Green, is that the name of the movie?
He looks like a person. I don't know, but
I'm pretty sure the whole Soylent Green thing is like the
very, very last scene.
So it's not like the movie is entirely...
I don't know. I need to see it. I've never seen it,
but I know exactly what they're talking about. You logan's run no that's the one where they have
the light in their hand and when they turn 30 it's like it flashes before they turn 30 once
it turns 30 it turns red and they get executed oh because no one's over 30 right yeah that reminds
me of a really funny joke that family guy did where they were like they they did a callback
or like whatever whatever it's, a cutaway gag.
And he was like every 80s sci-fi movie ever.
And it was like very much so.
Like they're running through a red desert wearing weird suits.
And then it's like a guy and a woman.
And he's like, we have to escape the corporation.
And then the woman stops running.
And he's like, what are you doing?
And then she shoots him.
And then he's like, why?
And then she pulls her face off.
And she's a robot and it goes
boing, boing, boing
and it like zooms out. Yeah, they
nailed it. That's wonderful.
Front Hole Enthusiast
says, while it's true, Tim Poole
did not build a Zeppelin while eating
ice cream. It is true reports
say he did indeed build a Zeppelin.
Debunked. Not while eating ice cream.
Debunked. Here we go. Cliff says, you're multidimensional.
You're here and on Crowder now.
No.
How does he do it?
It's magic.
Well, they're actually more than one of me.
Yeah.
Twin Zeppelin.
Twins.
Twin Zeppelin.
Twin cool.
Kaj says, Tim, that Fallout song won't be in the public domain until 2067.
Yeah.
Have you heard of the VR eye contact lenses developed by Mojo Vision?
They seem very interesting.
Ooh, that sounds cool.
Look it up.
Very cool.
STFUFFS says,
God damn it.
Super Chat was refusing to let me post.
Well, we got you.
Yep.
Greg Morgan says,
How about a picture of Lydia spinning
on the spaceship until you get a camera?
Yeah.
Just cut out a little picture.
Have her face.
A little alien.
Just spinning around.
I love it.
I like that.
Alex Aiello says,
I haven't seen the shows
uploaded this morning.
I don't know.
They're all up.
Everything's up.
Yeah.
Promise.
Some people are asking me
about the main live stream
and that's actually not listed.
So you won't find that
in our videos.
If you want to get the link
to the show,
you have to subscribe
and hit the notification bell.
YouTube is supposed to send you the link, and what's kind of annoying is that they don't.
Yeah.
We just need to make sure we post the unlisted link in the community section.
The reason we're doing this is that when you have a channel and you have a two-hour-long video next to a 10-minute video,
people will click the two
hour long video, especially on a podcast with like a live opening, and they X out right away.
And then YouTube says, whoa, people don't want to watch this. And they punish the entirety of
your channel for this. So by putting the full length podcast unlisted, only the people who
know what they're getting and want to watch, so it doesn't destroy and disrupt the rest of the
channel. YouTube system is stupid.bert franklin says police story has changed
too many times they murdered duncan for owning guns they uh maryland doesn't like you and you
cannot change my mind geez well it's not the first time the story i pulled up from 2018 there was
another story from maryland they keep doing this wow yeah don't move to maryland man we're right on the line too chris cronin says his name was duncan lemp yeah man eggman says
if lydia is your jamie and skateboarding is your mma what is your dmt i don't know
it's a secret sauce that he mixes yes he has and he puts it on everything it's amazing he puts it on everything and i and
people i'll pull out a bottle and people will be like what is that and i'll be like it's a very
secret recipe i'm only gonna tell you one time so pay attention because if you don't listen you'll
miss it and you'll never know how to make it and they're like okay what is it i'm like first
you take mayonnaise and then you mix in barbecue sauce.
And that's it.
That's it.
That's it.
But I do put it on like almost everything.
It's so good, guys.
Try it.
Yeah.
Well, it tastes like Chick-fil-A sauce.
Yeah, it does.
That's basically what it is.
It really does.
But people are confused.
Like, what is it?
I'm like, dude, I just put mayo in my barbecue sauce bottle.
It's not even a big deal.
Yeah.
I don't even know why you guys bring it up.
Because it's great. It's unique. You you don't drink you don't do anything like
related so it's like what what do you do you eat food and that's yeah that's it yeah we got to
figure out what we can say no you know i don't know there's no dmt but yeah skateboarding is
like our ama mma mma Yeah, but MMA is super popular.
Okay.
Skateboarding is too, but skateboarding is nowhere near as popular as MMA.
I agree.
You don't get, like, primetime, pay-per-view, street league skateboarding.
Conor McGregor.
And it wouldn't ever go there now.
I mean, maybe in, like, 1999, Tony Hawk does the 900, and all of a sudden, video games were, you know, it had its time.
That's true.
And that time has passed though.
You know what I think it is though? It's because I think
skateboarding is entering the Olympics
and the teams have been set up.
Now it's postponed, but I think
that'll change things. I think
Olympic skateboarding is going to make skateboarders
extremely wealthy. I think you're right.
Ridiculously wealthy. I mean, look at Naja, man. He's got
driving around Lamborghinis.
Dude's rolling in and out. There's like a small handful of skateboarders who are all extremely rich yeah i mean granted
he's incredible yeah he's so clean at all of his tricks and he's he might be one of the better
best skateboarders on the planet right now totally i. I mean, he's won the X Games like five years in a row now or something. It's just that...
That might not be accurate.
When he competes,
it seems like he refuses to lose.
And so someone will do a crazy trick
and he'll have this look on his face
and he'll do something crazier
and you're like,
come on.
He's like, I could do that.
He's like, I'm gonna do better than that.
What makes him so good
is he's good under pressure.
It's like if you put the camera on
and he's like,
I'm gonna land this trick then.
Yeah.
And he lands it.
It's like, jeez. Dude, Chris Joslin's i'm gonna land this trick then yeah if any lancet it's like dude chris jocelyn's tray flip at el toro yeah i know wow tray flip heard around the world man we got some good skating in today too yeah i had fun nice out
day yeah i got uh nollie tray like almost right away and i did uh got switch hard flip in there
and uh front feeble so i landed a half cab flip for the first time ever there you go that was
nice that felt good yeah what i what i like to do is like you know most i've been skating for so long
i've done most of these tricks yeah so it's like every year i mentioned this before like every year
i go through a new like okay i have to check mark all the tricks i haven't done yet to make sure i'm
going through all of them yeah yep that's right yeah you got that feeble that long feeble right
on the ramp that was that was pretty good so actually you know what that was the first time
i've ever done that too yeah and that's that's a weird grind to do on a ramp. That was pretty good. Actually, you know what? That was the first time I've ever done that too. Yeah. And that's a weird grind to do
on a ramp. Yeah, it was weird.
I got caught up a lot, but I saw you trying to do that
on the rail and I was like,
I want to do that. Right on.
And I did. Felt great.
Jeb Reed says, Lemp must be avenged.
Chuck Morris says, As a cop, if I see
a beanie, shoot first. No.
Don't. No, no, no. Hey, man.
Here's one. Left is insane.
He says, hey, Florbos, can you do a segment on psychedelics, treating anxiety, and drug abuse?
We were...
Sorry.
Go on.
He says, I used to have a drug problem and it helped.
LSD also made my dreams more vivid and showed flaws in my personality.
It's nice that some states are actually starting to do research into this.
And it's wonderful because it actually can help people
you ever see that libertarian t-shirt that says something like i wanna i wanna pay for my gay
wedding with bitcoin while smoking pot and firing my guns or something like that yeah i have seen
that it's like where where is the politician for that stuff you know what i mean like i mean but
how many people agree with that yeah i, I guess it's a problem.
You know why the general libertarian, whatever you want to call it,
they're not all unified in terms of policy completely.
But I'll tell you this.
I'd rather have a right libertarian kind of system
where it's just sort of more of a free market free-for-all
than anything else if I had to because you can build whatever system you want within it.
Yeah, that's true.
So if like our country was extremely libertarian, it's like, okay, well,
I will set up my own whatever I want with my own rules. It's something Ron Paul said.
I think it was Ron Paul. He said, nothing is stopping any socialist from creating their
own socialist town and creating their socialist rules and creating a commune.
Why aren't they doing it?
And some actually are.
There's a very famous commune, and you've got to apply to get in, and they do it right.
They all farm.
They all work really, really hard.
And I think people don't realize the reason why they don't do it, the people who claim they want it, is because they don't realize you work all day, every day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We Americans are wealthy, fat, and fat and happy yep very much so michael connor says hospital i work
for notified us that we'll be using pto this month as it comes out of a separate bank i'm expecting
layoff soon corporate side this is the apocalypse what does that mean mean? PTO, what's that? Pay time off. I think.
But check this out.
People are saying, we can't, you know, there's a viral meme.
It's got like 150,000 retweets on Twitter.
And it's the trolley problem.
I saw that.
The trolley is on one track and there's people and it says,
you can stop the trolley at any time,
but it would cause a loss of profits for the trolley corporation.
And it is funny, but they don't seem to understand that if there's no economy,
there are no medical workers. That's also true. So if the hospital can't pay for anything,
they run out of money, why would a nurse or doctor continue working if they can't pay their bills,
eat food, or pay their rent? They'll have to move on to survive. So they're risking their lives for
nothing then. Some will. Many of them will, I'm pretty sure. It's respectable. They're there to save lives.
That's why they started that job in the first place. Here's the other issue though.
Even if we do give them money, if you can't buy anything with it, why would you keep working
there? So it's an issue of, look, the government can keep printing money and eventually the money
becomes worthless. Right. That's not going to work. The economy's got to reopen. It's really
annoying to me to see, like, there was a viral thread,
the Young Turks guy was pushing it out,
where a guy says this is proof that if they really wanted to,
they could do universal health care.
And I'm like, bro, a one-time $6 trillion infusion
is not the same as a consistent $30 trillion, you know,
or $3 trillion infusion every year that dramatically inflates
or deflates the,
I'm sorry, yeah, inflates our currency and cause it to be worthless. People would be racing and
they wouldn't, it just, we've seen what countries do when they, when they, when the money machine
just keeps printing out and then they have bags of money that nobody wants. Yep. All right. Carl
Schneider says, Tim, don't forget you're appearing on Crowder's show in a few minutes oh yes i am um what time is it all right um we're on crowder now david campbell says it
was pre-recorded lydia's cam is taking too long so i'm just going to pretend she is a talking globe
ufo depending on the week there we go or the subject john mcleod says have a 20 face mask
mask order from the manager of the inn inside the gated community
i guard after he saw the mask i was wearing that i made cool john smith says psa 4b and 4 billion
in aid to israel are military vouchers they can only spend it on american military equipment
this is so israel is dependent on us and won't make close ties with russia or china not nefarious
interesting and the money that's spent on us equipment is made to a certain degree. It's spent in the United States. People don't realize that as well when they complain
about like wasting money overseas. We definitely do. Yeah. But when when when research is being
done in this country, when engineering is being done in development, it's it's people here,
you know, who are paid to do it. Kevin Thompson said, Tim, watch Beastars. All right.
ML says, please consider changing the font or color of IRL thumbnails.
It would help to differentiate on my feed.
Y'all rock, though.
We have been talking about that.
We need to figure out. I actually thought about that today, too.
And I was like, maybe we should do that.
But it's interesting that there's a shadow on them.
But unlike on my channels, always uh fade the image so that
behind the text it's just black so you can read the image it gets really confusing yeah yeah so
we have to we have to fix that jessica cora says i've lost all purpose went from working 80 hours
a week to sing at home what can we do to stay sane dude build something i yeah crochet oh i know i know take something that people need
put a clock in it right yeah people need to know what time it is i'm kidding it's an old joke from
the 90s it's like a seinfeld joke they actually used to do that though it reminds me of uh
zoobie tweeted something he said you know i'm reading a lot that people are bored
you know that why why are people bored? Have they reached
all of their life goals? Because if so, okay, I guess you can be bored. But if not, what are you
waiting for? Now, you worked 80 hours a week. So obviously, you are used to working a lot. Like,
I don't know what field you were in. But what's your passion project? You know, what's your
grand goals? You know, maybe you can start working towards that.
So, hey, Jesus, life coach.
Hey, I'm going off something Zuby said.
It's true, though.
I don't agree with everything he says, but he does have some good stuff.
Well, if you don't have a violin, you can't.
Play the spoons.
Learn to play the spoons.
Learn to play a comb.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sure there's something you can work on.
You can order stuff online still.
Amazon's still working.
Yeah, for sure.
No, don't spend money.
That's not a life goal.
No, no, no.
You should spend money.
Sure, spend money.
I'm talking about
like a life goal, you know?
Something a little more...
Long term.
You know, spending money
probably doesn't have...
Write a book.
Sure.
I mean, if you had goals
to write a book,
this is the perfect opportunity
to do that.
Hmm.
What could you do?
I don't know. Exercise? Get fit?
True. You could do that too.
Yoga?
Yeah, yoga.
If it's a life goal, get to it.
John Smith says, Adam with short hair looks like Michael Fassbender.
Cool. Thanks.
He's awesome. I love that guy.
He's cool, dude.
STFU says, Tim, look up LA Sheriff Donald P. Scott.
They appraised his ranch before a raid claiming it was a pot farm.
They killed him and took his place.
Whoa.
California's crooked, dude.
That was a long time ago.
There's scary stories about California towns.
Yeah, man.
Wild, wild west.
Jeez.
The Red Bike Master says, according to the case law, police have no duty to protect.
Wow.
Yeah, I've heard that.
Fearless Soldier soldier aren't
you supposed to be live with steven crowder i am i don't know if like people know that he does
pre-recorded interviews and i'm like i don't know if it's an issue i don't know like we did we did
it yesterday cats out of the bag yeah and i was just like i guess we were talking about before
we went live i was like oh dude i'm on crowder tonight and you know adam was like oh so that
means like what you have to do the show i'm like no no no like oh, dude, I'm on Crowder tonight. And, you know, Adam was like, oh, so that means, like, what, you have to do the show?
And I'm like, no, no, no, no. Like, I'm on
and I'm on this show. Like, both at the same time.
Yeah, I thought that you were going to actually, like,
be on the show.
So we were going to be like, alright, for the next 20 minutes,
we'll, we're going to, you're going to
see a blank screen.
Or we're going to cut to just Soy Jesus
and the guitar. Oh, yeah.
And then I'll just, like, sit there playing for 10, 20, 15 minutes.
Spanish flu.
Just on repeat.
I love that song.
It's great.
All right.
Bobcat says, why are ERPOs allowed to be served in the wee hours of the morning, even ignoring
their blatant violation of due process?
It's bad tactics.
So that's the extreme risk protection orders.
Dude, seriously.
Why?
What is the point?
I don't get it.
And why don't they issue at first a warning saying, you know, you have been warned.
In the next, you know, 24 hours or whatever, an officer will be arriving.
Police, you know.
So they at least know not to shoot the police, not to have a shootout.
Or shouldn't.
That's what blows me away.
It's like, as far as i'm
concerned anyone who owns a gun it has it for protection and for the most part so if someone
comes into their house they're probably going to shoot them think about how crazy it is expecting
it's like they want to be shots or shot at so they can shoot people it's it's crazy i don't
understand it at all well it's because humans are dumb. Oh, that's
right. Thank you, Tim. I'll put it this way.
George Carlin said, think about how stupid the average
person is. Yes. Now realize half
of them are stupider than that. It's that
half of them stupider than that
that hear something that
sounds like it makes sense without investigating and just say, do
it. And so you see these
big news stories of mass
tragic events. And no one actually investigates or looks into it. They so you see these big news stories of mass tragic events, and no one actually investigates
or looks into it. They have an emotional, knee-jerk reaction. And then some politician
wanting to get elected just says, yes, we will ban them. No one knows anything about them.
No one looks at any of the stats. Handguns are used in more shootings than rifles,
but rifles are what they want to ban. It makes no sense. I agree.
Not only that, but they ban things based on cosmetics. It's just politicians, they want the keys to the castle. They have no idea what they want to ban. It makes no sense. I agree. Not only that, but they ban things based on cosmetics.
It's just politicians, they want the keys to the castle.
They have no idea what they're talking about.
There's no legitimate argument.
They also want the cash from the lobbyists.
Totally.
Yeah.
That's a big thing, too.
It makes no sense.
The weird thing to me about the anti-NRA argument is you see these activists saying,
we're coming for you, NRA. It's like, the NRA is a non, it's like, my understanding is they're a nonprofit
and they function based off of a ton of members. It's not like there's an evil, you know, Dr. Doom
going, now that I've convinced all of these people to be dupes, I will do whatever I want.
No, it's all of the people contacting the NRA and saying, here's what we want you to do. And
they're like, yes, it's like a coalition of Americans. Yeah, it's all of the people contacting the NRA and saying, here's what we want you to do. And they're like, yes.
It's like a coalition of Americans.
Yeah, I'd be more concerned
about the government
doing these things.
Yeah, agreed.
Dude, how long do you think it is
until somebody's violated quarantine
and they get killed?
Oh, gosh.
Not long.
Yeah.
I don't want to go down that path.
And it's not going to be
because they're violating quarantine.
Someone will be violating quarantine.
There's going to be some cop
who gets scared,
thinks he has a weapon. There you go'll happen yep i see it happen yeah you're
right trent thanks for the super chat student of history says uh-oh we just got a super chat jump
i love when they do this super jump super jump and now we're starting to get inundated warp speed
student of history says red flag laws and no knock raids are going to get people killed
take people at their word my cold dead hands means it the people who pass these laws should
be at the front of the stack you know what's really challenging is like do we just say well
it's the law we have to obey it at what point do you say it's an unjust law that must be resisted
yeah more importantly if i said right now asserted a position on when and how you should
resist, YouTube would delete this in two seconds, which means the default will always be media
pundits and personalities saying, no, no, the law is just, you must always follow it. Nah. I mean,
there's a line for me. I'll say right now, unjust laws should not be supported in any capacity.
And I talk about this all the time with like the Extinction Rebellion people and other activists who get arrested.
There's a line for me. Like if you go around smashing windows, starting fire,
like you should be arrested. Agreed. And I'll tell you this. If you block a road and hold up
a sign, you should also be arrested. But that to me is socially acceptable. Civil disobedience
that's disruptive and nonviolent, I think is what we need to do to push the boundaries
of certain things. And there are certain things that should not be illegal. There's a guy named
Moxie Marlinspike. He's a famous hacker. And I was asking him about the problem of surveillance
states. And he said, if the government knew everything you were doing all the time,
they would, you smoke pot, and then they show up and they arrest you, right?
But we're now starting to legalize pot, like recreationally in all these different states.
How would we know that we want it to be, you know, legal recreationally unless people were
actually smoking it illegally?
And I said, that's a really good point.
So, right.
If nobody was smoking because the government said no and they had a surveillance state,
then we would eventually just default into harder and harder authoritarianism.
There would never be an opportunity for repealing laws or decriminalizing things.
It would always just get worse.
And then eventually people are sitting in a gray cubicle wearing a gray jumpsuit with their heads shaved,
just like shaking, wondering, like, they move their hand to grab a scissors,
and then the cop's like, ah, got you.
That's an improper use of scissors.
Scissor grabber.
Yeah.
You know, like, you know a cop could pull you over for stopping at a yellow light?
And a cop could pull you over for going through a yellow light.
Yeah, I know. I figured that out.
Right.
How's this supposed to work?
Yeah.
Because stopping abruptly is negligence.
It can cause an accident.
And trying to speed up to catch a yellow light is...
Oh, you started speeding.
Trying to go against the law.
Yeah.
And depending on jurisdiction, it's like there's literally nothing you started speeding. I'm going against the law. Yeah. And depending on jurisdiction,
it's like there's literally nothing you can do.
If they want to, it's illegal.
Yep.
Welcome to the future,
especially with what's going on with the coronavirus.
Yay.
Super Bam Bam says,
did you see that movie Cuck?
Ended up bombing in the box office.
It was a movie meant to attack those on the right.
I did not see that movie.
I didn't even know.
That's why I bought it.
Right.
Bad marketing.
Straight to DVD.
Yeah.
Get woke, go broke. Crash says, get charged for domestic abuse, Tim. See that? I didn't even know that. That's why I bought it. Bad marketing. Straight to DVD. Yeah.
Well, go broke.
Crash says, get charged for domestic abuse, Tim.
Then all your rights go poof.
And you get into a fight with a woman.
Who are the cops going to believe 90% of the time, huh?
Yep.
Never settle.
Always fight.
Always defend yourself.
I mean, legally, you know.
Yep.
If someone comes at you, you defend yourself.
You do not just bend over.
The Great Dub Dude says, I just want a simple beanie that says,
it's complicated or here's the thing.
We're working on it.
We'll figure it out.
Yeah, man.
Once they open up.
Yeah.
After the apocalypse is over and we're, you know,
we're Mad Maxing it up.
Yeah.
Nathan says,
a guy I work with said the government should suspend
the whole constitution to give them the ability
to get a hold of this virus.
I told him that's insane.
Whoa.
Agreed.
That's insane.
He can move to China. Actually, he probably can't because they're super racist. I told him that's insane. Whoa. Agreed. That's insane. He can move to China.
Actually, he probably can't because they're super racist.
Yeah, he can't move.
Vokun says, these people are freaking demons.
Make fun of me all you want, but Hillary Clinton is a gosh darn demon.
That's a quote from Alex Jones.
Oh, really?
He actually said, make fun of me all you want.
These people are gosh darn demons.
Yeah, that's why they used him for
that doom clip that was awesome right that's what it was that's awesome yeah yeah well i mean
figuratively i think they're demons you know they're just like nasty people alex jones gold
yeah renek says china lied 50 000 plus died that's true harry potter says there's already cameras in
all of the TVs, Tim.
Well, it's a funny thing happened. I went to, I was at Best Buy with Luke,
Luke of We Are Change. You guys might know him. And he was like, I don't want to get a smart TV because, you know, you never know what they put in. There could be cameras or Wi-Fi or something.
And the Best Buy guy was like, oh yeah, dude, you have no idea. And I was like, wait, what?
Best Buy guy's telling me this? Wait, what? Yeah, Luke was right. I was like. yeah dude you have no idea and i was like wait what that's my guy's telling me this
wait what yeah luke was right i was like luke is right yeah i mean i don't know but the best guy
guy was like yeah dude like i've been reading all this stuff which tv did you want again and i'm like
the smart tv and he's like yeah so anyway there's like microphones you know and they're like what
it's true that there's there's microphones in them though right because it's like the
they have voice activation echo speakers that you can be like, hey, put this show on, and they can do that.
Those things are always listening.
Yeah.
It's a fact.
I know.
We did that segment on it.
Yup.
We did a segment on it.
They lie about it, but they use weasel words to say things like, you'll ask them, is it
always recording?
And instead of saying yes or no, they'll say, well, the, you know, whatever device activates upon saying its name. And then it always recording? And instead of saying yes or no, they'll say, well, whatever device activates upon saying its name.
And then it begins recording.
How does it activate?
You didn't answer my question.
Is it always listening?
Well, you see, the device activates only when you say its name.
That's not what I asked you.
Answer the question.
Well, the device only eats ice cream when you're saying its name.
Right, exactly.
If you said that uh the you know
the amazon or google device they're always listening yeah snopes would write is it true that
you know amazon's device is always listening while you're eating ice cream yeah no it's not
no and it'll be like actually no it'll say false and it'll say there's nothing to suggest that the
act of eating ice cream would trigger this to record anything you were saying.
Right.
But then people just see the false.
And at the bottom, it's like, well, it is true.
It's always on and recording everything you say.
There's no correlation between you and ice cream.
You're not saying anything.
Right.
So it's not listening.
There you go.
No, it is always on.
It's always listening.
That's how it activates when you say its name.
I don't know about cameras.
You know, I don't know about that, but I know there's like, there's microphones in them.
Don't like it.
Here we go. what is this uh talbot says did y'all see defranco peed off today no what does that mean philip defranco got ticked off about something did he i don't know oh i don't
know this is news to me yeah there was there uh so when that whole thing happened with jim acosta
and what are you talking about and the woman in the white house,
uh, where he went to grab her microphone. Yes. Okay. I watched that in great detail
and it was insane. They were claiming that, you know, Trump was sharing a doctored video
because frames were missing and it's like just completely made up. What it looked like to me
was that, uh, the woman was holding the mic and Costa grabbed it from her.
But it was one of these things where it was like,
is the dress blue and black or white and gold or something?
I cannot agree.
Yeah, and Philip DeFranco messaged me and he was like,
do you really think that he grabbed this?
Like, I can't believe it.
Just completely stunned that, you know, and I was like,
that's crazy that we both see this completely differently.
Right.
But I will add, I like Phil.
I think he's a cool dude.
I think his show's fine.
But he was on the wrong side
of the Covington thing.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So, you know, nobody's perfect.
I'm not trying to drag the guy.
Let's see, where are we at?
Chance says,
can we get an anime character
on the table?
Oh, I do.
I've got One Punch Man
and I've got Android 18.
We could, yeah, we could,
oh, we might be able to get... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't want to crowd the table, alright? No, no, no, but what if we put
one punch man on the UFO so he's spinning
around? Well, he'd get in my close-up shot.
That's true. Oh, we can't block Adam out.
But he's a little.
It would be cool. Oh, he's like tiny? Yeah, he's a little thing.
We'll have to play around with it. I think
having her face is way funnier
than having one punch man on there.
We could put one punch Man on the globe.
On top of the world.
But he wouldn't spin with the globe.
Oh, boo.
Oh, no, he wouldn't.
No.
That would look weird.
Yeah.
Charles says, look up Caleb James Cole red flag case.
We'll check it out.
Chuck Moore says, time to start selling the not soy shot glass.
There you go.
Not soy.
Andrew Hoft says, hey, Tim, in your honest opinion,
do you think the collapse of civilization will be a slow and painful process or a quick and less painful process? Also giving everything going
with COVID-19, you should start coming with good names for your beanie babies. I think, um,
the apocalypse is going to be, it's an, it's like a rollercoaster. Like you're slowly getting to the
peak and then you slowly, and then boom, it's going to be crazy.
Dude, the post office is shutting down.
Not completely, but people have found out, like they go outside, their mail's not there.
And then they call and they're like, we've suspended delivery to you.
So the point I was making earlier is you've got record gun sales.
You've got 6.6 million unemployment claims.
In the past two weeks, 10 million unemployment claims that completely shatters. So what people were saying when the first report came out of 3.3
million, they were like, yes, it's high, but it's not the craziest ever been. You see,
because it all happened at once. People don't seem to realize that throughout the Great Recession,
which was, you know, 10 or 12 months, that unemployment claims actually totaled this,
you know, 7 million number. Beat you know seven million number beat you two
weeks in two weeks two weeks 10 million total claims is crazy so uh i don't know that i think
it might be repeat claims for sure but i could be wrong about this some people trying to get it
again because the first one didn't go through no no no my understanding is that every week you call
and you say i would like to i remain unemployed. But I don't know what they mean by
that. Yeah. Because every week you're supposed to call to update and they ask you questions.
It could be new claims. So it could be 10 million people. But you add all that together
and with, you know, people buying guns, you know, like crazy mass unemployment,
the hospital workers are starting to get pay suspended and shut off. If we can't even have
hospital workers in the hospitals, then COVID is
going to wipe everyone out anyway. But the post office is the first crack in the government.
Not necessarily the first crack, but it's a crack in the government. And what people don't seem to
get about government, it's all based on confidence. If you had no confidence that the money in your
hand would get you something, you wouldn't value it. That's a good point. So if people are not
coming to a point where the post office, they have no confidence in
getting their deliveries, they stop using it.
If people don't have confidence in their local police department, they stop calling.
They stop relying on any of it.
Or they stop abiding by the laws.
If I don't think, you know, I shouldn't say I, but if someone's like, the cops aren't
going to enforce anything anyway, then they do whatever they want.
I'm going to take things into my own hands for good and bad.
Not even about that, but like,
oh, I can't do a U-turn here.
There's no cops anymore.
I'll do a U-turn. What's the big deal?
And then that's when things start to...
We'll see how it plays out.
Interesting.
The Red Bike Masters, Adam, get it right.
It's the great state of Texas, not just Texas.
Adam, how dare you?
I'm so sorry.
Excuse me. All right, I dare you? I'm so sorry. Excuse me.
All right, I'm going to speed things up now.
I got to say, though, I do love Texas.
Texas is a cool place.
I don't like driving through Texas.
Texas sucks to drive through.
But the state is great.
And everyone that I've met in Texas, in the great state of Texas, is awesome.
There you go.
All right, I'm going to start speeding things up in the Super Chat.
So I apologize if I can't get to you.
Super fast.
Grant Thompson says,
Thanks for providing solid content, Tim.
When do you buy yourself a firearm?
When you do buy yourself a firearm, I suggest getting a 9mm.
Either a Sig Sauer if you're getting a semi-auto,
or a Chiapa Rhino if you're getting a revolver.
Love and respect from BC.
Very cool.
Yeah, I got to write an essay.
We'll see how that plays out.
Everything's kind of shut down now anyway.
Yeah.
The Price is Right says,
Sup, bro? I find it funny. Independent Everything's kind of shut down now anyway. Yeah. The price is right, says. Sup, bro?
I find it funny.
Independent woman goes out of the window these days.
Just being honest, this pandemic is not going to be fun for a lot of women because since
a lot of men refuse to marry.
Well, it's one of the things we definitely talked about that.
It is not women.
It is feminists.
Yeah.
I am perfectly happy.
I'm perfectly comfortable.
I'm not upset at all about this.
Like, I don't get it.
Sorry, I'll let you carry on. social justice is uh it's a luxury politics it is yeah you know this you you you can't go out in march
for and it is kind of scary to a certain degree because people fighting for civil rights has been
a good thing in in most circumstances i say most because these authoritarian weirdos who claim to
be fighting for it or not but like when when you're at war, they suspend civil liberties.
Yeah.
And it's scary.
And I don't know if I agree with it, but this is the, I think it was Glenn Greenwald and
like Todd Kalinske, they're very progressive.
We're tweeting about the begrudging, you know, feeling where you have a desire for state
authority to protect us from the virus while being like a very anti-authoritarian liberty-minded individual yeah i don't know
i don't know the solution is because why should i just trust the government on all of this stuff
i mean it's easy now like watching what's going on in other countries you don't got to worry about
what the u.s is you know the u.s is lying to you because it's like happening everywhere
but if it was something else where it's only happening in the US, I don't blindly trust anybody, you know, at least of all the government.
K98 says, reality is a battlescape of minds and the only guarantee of liberty is to take control
of the warping of your own. So spit on the sacred, exalt the profane, and transgress the norm.
Hail Azathoth. The Price, right? Says I respectfully question your
statement on the baby blip. When I see you do videos on why marriage rates are low and the
divorce and the divorce surge in this pandemic, it's really not going to be fun for a lot of
women. Yeah. Stevie says, is there any new COVID gun owners without, if there's any new COVID gun
owners without knowledge, I'd be happy to help teach the basics locally, Dallas-Fort Worth, over chat or over chat.
And then he says, same name, SZettle on Discord.
Just want y'all to stay safe and healthy.
Right.
Benito says, live in California.
Just got news.
My big bro is coming down from up north because they canceled classes for Academy.
Corrections.
Apparently, a sergeant got infected.
Really happy he's coming home, but also scared and worried.
Jeez.
Let's see.
Shaogoff, thanks for becoming a member.
Thank you.
Vasht says, mayo is condiment of the gods.
Also, what type of barbecue?
Sweet Baby Ray's, bro.
Yeah, man.
Always.
Yep, Sweet Baby Ray's.
The sauce is the boss.
There's no other sauce.
My dad always used that, too.
John, thanks for becoming a member.
Thank you.
And it just jumped on me again.
I love it when it does that.
It's very, very fun.
There we go.
Connor says, no knock raids are one of the reasons you see people like me at Home Depot
in a Hawaiian shirt buying a couple hundred pounds of fertilizer and 50 boxes of nails.
Haha, alphabet boy go boom.
No, no, no, no, no, not funny.
Zachariah Kitzman says, the idea about the early morning raids is that they are safer
for the police officers serving the warrant.
Arguably, it's untrue as seen by these stories, and I'll never serve one as a police officer.
But that's the idea.
Matthew says look into bronze.
The Bronze Age collapse.
Normally, global economic collapse precedes each dark age.
Oh, yeah.
Chisholm says the worst cop was the worst cop was when went for a girl who had been raped and tried to OD on meds.
We were trying to calm her and get her to come with us. He threatened to put her in cuffs and
take her to the ER man. Charlie, thanks for coming to member. Seshmiu says as a life member of the
NRA, never get a life membership of these organizations. NRA does defend, uh, does you
mean does not defend our rights anymore? The GOA, which I am a member, not life member, is fighting for our 2A
rights. Daniel says
Android 18, which I do have a little Android
18 figure. Samuel says
the Google Home devices are definitely
always listening. You can turn off the mic
and say, hey, Google,
it will tell you it can't hear you because
the mic is turned off.
How does that work?
That's so crazy, man. I can hear you, but I can't hear you because the mic is turned off how does that work that's so that's pretty crazy man i
can't hear you student of history says comparing modern sjws to the civil rights movement is like
comparing muslims italy to the roman empire yeah they're not civil rights they're they're people
who are like if you call me a name that's violence no it's not and the people who are being you know
attacked by dogs and spray with hoses were fighting for civil rights. Yeah. Right. Eve Welcome says, for more content that's not COVID, look into solar
cycles and Valentina Zarkova's work. She predicts an extended period of low solar activity, and she
was right about solar cycle 24 being weaker than cycle 23. Well, we'll see it. LB John says, love
the show, Tim. If you want to understand the danger of red flag laws even further you should interview a youtube called the philosopher there you go all right well speaking
of those red hold on before we move on i just want to i saw this one random comment and said
tim's not the kind of guy who would shoot someone but adam is and lydia probably has a machine gun
and i was like that is hilarious. They got us down.
Oh, man.
I would agree with that.
I would too.
See, what I would do is I would sneak up and disable a person.
And I wouldn't shoot to kill.
Right.
Oh, my gosh.
For real.
No.
So if someone was, like, breaking into my house, my first instinct would not be to, like,
to grab the weapon and go charging and be like it would be to like
yeah surprise attack yeah exactly
and to go for like a disabling move like a headlock
or something yeah and take them down
I think you'd kind of just be like
yeah
I would be really like tactical
with it yeah
and Lydia would have a machine gun like Metal Gear
Salad was an awesome game.
Dude.
I played it pretty heavy back in the day.
Yeah, man.
He's ready.
I love this subject.
And I got really good aim.
Don't mess with me.
Okay.
Wired writes, this is not the apocalypse you were looking for.
Pop culture has been inundated with catastrophe porn for decades.
None of it has prepared us for our new reality.
And they have this picture.
I guess it's like a zombie hand coming out of the dirt. But yes, here's what they say. The shock itself is shocking.
Shouldn't we have been more prepared? Hasn't culture been drenched in catastrophe porn for
decades? The bomb, the breakdown, the fallout, the senseless armies of shambling corpses,
all the nightmares of dead generations sliding out of our screens. For more than a decade,
young and youngish people have been living in anticipatory grief for everything we know,
but somehow this is different. The idea of imminent annihilating catastrophe has been
part of the collective unconscious for as long as we've had one. From the end date of the Mayan
calendar to the epic of Gilgamesh, from the Genesis flood to the book of revelations,
humans have been haunted by the idea of the end of everything for a very, very long time. Lately, it's been our default popular
entertainment. Raised with the threat of global warming in the teeth of a financial crisis,
we sat stunned and exhausted watching our civilization die on screen again. And again,
more post-apocalyptic entertainment has come out in the beginning of this century than in the
entirety of the last one.
The day after tomorrow, Zombieland, The Walking Dead, The Road, Children of Men, The Last of Us.
The same story again and again.
Somewhere between wish fulfillment and trauma rehearsal, getting us used to the idea that the future was canceled,
that someday soon everything would collapse and there would be nothing left and nothing we could do about it.
You know, I love, I love this yeah everybody who is you know watching these these films and and
pretending like it would be fun yeah and the sad reality was for now we're not roaming the streets
fighting over food questioning the person in the gas station asking them whose side they're on
or anything like that.
No, we still got some time.
It still feels like we have some semblance of the norm.
I think we're closer than we've ever been.
I agree with you completely. But for now, it's like, it's the waiting I can't stand.
Like, either pull the trigger on the collapse of civilization,
or let us get on with our boring routines.
Right?
Yeah. Exactly. Nah. on the collapse of civilization or let us get on with our boring routines right yeah exactly no
you know i i think we are dangerously close uh close closer to it than we've ever been
but we mentioned this before and i think it's interesting that people like they glorify and
fantasize about this stuff yeah they couldn't handle it and none of those movies are like the
after like the after side of it you know it's like it's always right when it's happening like
oh man we got to escape this volcano or escape this tsunami wave or right you know travel south
and it's like during the the you know everything hitting the fan you know but then it's like okay
then what then what what do you do you don't have seeds you don't have food you know you got to find
water somewhere but it's like they don't those none of
these movies are showing that part like the the real gritty part of life that is is like people
starve into death yeah because it's not exciting eating each other yeah eating each other they're
straight up you don't understand how many people are on this planet there's a lot of new york new
york's scary you know what the good thing about this going kind of slow is people getting out of
new york that's a good point because if if the if the collapse happened like overnight people in new york would go on they'd
go full-on cannibalistic human humanoid underground dweller in like days no more food no more water
people will be swimming to like get out like if like there are any people who are going to be
trapped they don't they don't know where they can go and they're going to be people who are going to be trapped. They don't know where they can go, and they're going to be desperate. There's going to be fighting. There's going to be, man, dude, New York is going to be literal hell.
Like, people with guns looking for food, and you have a building in New York with, you know,
10 or 12 floors and, like, several apartments on each floor,
and they're going to be going methodically through each one.
Yep, certain.
You live in the middle of nowhere.
You set up a couple of auto defense turrets right around the property and you turn them on and you go
to sleep. Everything's good. No, I'm kidding.
You obviously have much less to worry about
when you're surrounded by a lot less people. Yeah.
I would really love to see
how people would respond to
a full-on apocalyptic scenario.
How you could simulate that to see how humans
react to it. I don't know.
Yeah, that's a good point because there's
so much like the
spectrum of like humanity ending stuff could be anything from i don't know so huge crazy solar
flare that completely you know wrecks us a massive asteroid here's super volcano i don't know i'm
just wrapping here's some advice a microwave
is a Faraday cage
I think
so jump in the microwave
and close it
and you're safe
put your phone
so I actually know
a lot of people who do this
I don't know if this is legit
but I know people
who have microwaves
in their basement
and they have
a brand new cell phone in it
why
but why
so that when the
EMP hits
hasn't been used yet or with like they preload apps and stuff
on it so when the emp hits and all the satellites are completely you will have the summation of
human knowledge in your pocket and you will be king oh i see okay you can download the manual
you can download wikipedia it's like seven gigs you can download survival guides science how to
make wire how to start fire all that stuff i did get a survival guide and i was scrolling through it and it's amazing the amount of stuff that's on it think about how powerful a
calculator is just a calculator yeah like that was a premise for i think uh there was like a justice
league like series where uh i can't remember what the guy's name is savage sent a laptop just a laptop regular old laptop from like
2005 to himself during world war ii okay and that simple bit of technology was so powerful compared
to the rest of the world they were able to rapidly develop crazy weapons and completely win and it's
dude if uh whatever happens having having a smartphone yeah man so i know yeah people will like like, I know some people, they have a little nook in their basement.
They'll put a microwave in it.
They'll put stuff around it.
And I'm like, that might not be enough.
You might need more than that.
So what is the advantage of having a phone with this stuff loaded on it when you could have like a survival book?
You could have both.
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, obviously.
The book you just put in a shelf.
Your phone will
the battery will run out before too long get a solar panel i actually have a little little
backpack uh unfolding from goal zero just like a you know you throw it out in the sun you plug in
uh i have a little battery pack you plug it in you can charge my laptop what's my phone awesome
yeah so it's great i don't know if i told this story yet to you guys but during
occupy wall street someone donated farmland did i tell you guys a story no i don't think so somebody
donated farmland and this is like hearsay so i know there's probably some occupied people are
gonna be like that's not true or whatever but okay whatever here's what someone told me someone
donated farmland and a bunch of occupy wall street people who wanted to get off the grid
they didn't want to be a part of society and capitalism and the destruction of the planet.
So they went to move to a farm.
And guess how long they lasted?
Two days.
What did you guess? Also two days.
You got to cut in some slack.
It was about two weeks. Two weeks?
Wow, that's impressive. It is impressive.
She took my answer, so I would have said
a week.
You know why they didn't last that long? Because they're city dwellers and they're used to not having to
work that hard exactly they're used to not having to work yeah I've I know some people with farms
and I've actually done you know done some farm work and it's like you got to get up early and
start working you don't get to like chill drink your coffee and like relax and then write a blog
write a blog about Brad Pitt's junk for $50,000 a year.
Scroll through your Instagram feed. It's like,
no, no, no. You've got to get up and do.
Because pretty much the rule of thumb
on a farm is you finish
one chore, two more
prop up, and it never
ends. Never. But this
was about survivability farming. The idea
was you got off the grid and you were self-sustaining.
And it's like, now do you understand why you like oil so much?
And capitalism.
And why you don't want that to go away.
Specialization.
I find it so remarkable that, you know, it's mostly people who live in big cities who benefit the most from fossil fuels and machinery and technology who are the ones complaining about it.
Yeah, that's funny.
It's like, yeah, it's real.
You know what they say like this is what people on the left say that
from a point of privilege equality looks like oppression it's like you have you have no idea
do you have any idea what would happen if you got your your wish with like shutting down fossil
fuels like greta wanted to do yeah you you would be like you're no electricity so no elevators
right now you've got to walk up those 17 flights of stairs.
Right.
Like we use coal for electricity.
It's like more than half of our of our electricity.
Well, I think New York has nuclear power, but they want to shut that down, too.
Yeah, they do.
Dude, these people would not make it.
No.
You know, when I was told about the farm thing with Occupy, they ended up leaving.
OK.
And I and I was asking somebody who knew, they knew the people who were there.
And they were like, dude, do you have any idea how insane it was?
I'm like, oh, I do, of course.
I do, because I'm not an idiot.
And these people didn't realize.
They thought living on a farm was going to be like sitting in a lounge chair, like, you know,
chewing on a piece of straw, reading a book, and getting away from all the noise,
and life would be so much easier.
And guess what it was really like?
Yeah, getting your hands dirty.
Waking up at 6 a.m. And work nonstop. And working until midnight. Yeah. And then what it was really like? Yeah, getting your hands dirty. Waking up at 6 a.m. and working
until midnight and then going
to bed. You get to eat a little bit in between.
But when you stop working, you don't have food.
The best part was, winter was a coming.
And then you gotta
stock up a bunch of the food,
store it for the winter, preserve it properly.
And not only that, you're getting
a horrible diet throughout the winter.
You're not getting the vitamins you need. Your is imbalanced yeah they could not take it yeah
that's not surprising at all so what do you think these people would do in a real apocalypse
they would starve not would they i don't know you think they they're the ones that are going to go
rioting no no no well oh yeah maybe riot yeah yeah but they're what they're not going to get
very far no they're not going to get very far
no they're not i mean there's because there's plenty of people out there that maybe not like
our prepper status but are prepared yeah they're prepared in the sense that don't come into my
house yeah yeah because they've been like that for a long time so once people are like starting
to riot they're gonna be like, don't come to my house.
Well, this now I will shoot you because this was there's there's two two similar jokes.
One was a Dilbert comic, Scott Adams.
And Dilbert was like, I think it was he was asking about how the woman is preparing.
And she goes, I'm not I'm just going to go, you know, I'm preparing.
Like, what are you doing?
And then she basically said, oh, can you pick up Hot Pockets so that when this all breaks down, I can get them? Like, the joke is, someone posted this in the Super
Chat before. They were like, gun owners want to thank all the people who don't own guns for
stocking up the supplies for us when the apocalypse happens. That's a good point.
Here's the thing. What we're seeing right now is not the apocalypse. It's a catastrophe.
That's what they point out in the article. But'm curious we've seen a lot of movies and the movies try to pretend they know how people would respond
to an apocalypse no yeah i don't think we really do and everyone loves to be that person that oh i
would i would never do that yeah i would have gone left i would have stayed put oh i would have done
anything but whatever which was just pushing the narrative of the movie
along you know it's like okay well obviously they have to like tweak a little bit here's the truth
man when when the apocalypse does come the most brutal are the ones who survive period period
so here's a little thought experiment i tell people and i usually it's it's weird to me that
there's like a lot of urban young people don't understand how real life works and i, it's weird to me that there's like, a lot of urban young people don't understand how
real life works. And I think it's because they've been insulated. Here's the question I say to
people, and I'll ask you guys right now. You're in the middle of woods, hundreds of miles from
civilization. You're lost. You have with you a gun, a rifle with, you know, limited rounds.
You have a small canteen of water. You have a little bit of food. All of a sudden, off in the distance, at the exact same time, you notice another person,
and they notice you. They have the exact same things that you have. You don't know where your
next meal is going to be. You don't know where you're going. You don't know where civilization
is, and you see this person. What do you do? Hmm. And the world's over already.
No, no, no.
Regardless of that,
let's let's do the equation.
You're in the middle of nowhere
in the Yukon, lost.
You got teleported there.
Who knows?
Okay.
And you've got a rifle.
Yeah.
You've got a little bit of food,
a little bit of water
and the clothes on your back.
You don't know where civilization is.
It's cold.
You're trying to find food, shelter, whatever.
About a hundred yards away,
you and another person, you both make eye contact
at the exact same time. What do you do?
I would probably say hello.
And then they yell back, floor-ga-blop.
Floor-ga-blop.
Floor-ga-blop. Floor-ga-blop-blop-blop-blop-blop-blop.
I don't think you communicate very well.
How do you know they would speak English?
Well, I would probably have a smile on my face, and I would wave then, you know?
And probably, because we have, like, 100 yards away, it's pretty far.
Right.
You know, so it's like, you know, I would probably lift my gun up, you know, in, like, a non-threatening manner.
Like, holding my hands up with the gun visible, but not aimed at them.
As soon as you raise your arm with the gun they lift
their gun up to you shaking what do you do well i probably duck behind a tree then they see you
move so they start shooting good thing i ducked behind a tree right so this this this this thought
experiment isn't meant to have a correct response okay it's to point out that no matter what you do
you can't expect how someone else would respond and And everyone, you know, you know what? Like, this is really funny because one thing I often hear from conservatives is like they would have
their hand properly on their weapon. They'd hold up their hand and they would move really slowly
and they would back away and leave. I hear from moderate people more stuff like what you were
saying, like I would try to make contact. You know, I hear from people on the left.
Oh, I'd go and greet them. Now they can help me.
No, I wouldn't trust no i wouldn't trust i
wouldn't trust them immediately though no you don't know but see if i was in an environment
like that you never know if like if they were friendly then you're two and not one so your
chances of survival increase so that's that's where my first instinct would be is like i would
rather be two than by
myself and if they're friendly you know how do you approach them if they don't speak my language
it's obviously going to be more difficult assume they do right you know so if i yell hello and they
like all right you know florida blob yeah so. So the challenge is if you see this person, you don't know if they're starving.
Yeah.
If they're angry, if they're scared, you have no idea what they're feeling.
They might see you and see what you're carrying and be like, if I take his stuff, I'll live.
Yeah.
Why should I bother with this person who might hurt me?
I don't know them.
I don't know what they're saying.
And so, you know, I try to explain to people that a lot of people with these utopianist views think this is how the world could work, everyone holding hands and singing and it's like a rainbow.
And it's like, no, the reality is you take that scenario I gave you and you scale it up to nation states.
We don't know what the other is doing.
We don't want to give up our secrets.
We don't know what they're planning.
We don't know if they're going to attack us.
And everyone needs resources. And so when you look at a lot of how these countries are responding to the controversy or the crisis right now,
we don't know what China's internals are. They might, you know, for all we know, there's like
some government official who's like his his buttons are all undone. His tie is he's drunk
and he's just like, this is the end. We're out of resources. Our money is going up. The food
supplies have stopped. But don't tell anybody. And so then you have these people saying things like we need to be cooperating
with China. They're a global leader supplying us and they're ready to press the button.
Yeah, we just that's the problem. That's that's where you go with conflict and war and stuff.
But also for that scenario, too, it's like, man, I think it's a it's a guarantee that if the
apocalypse happened. Like liberals, liberal minded would – and I say this because liberals tend to be very passive, like the actual liberals.
I'll say it.
They would die out.
Oh, that's what you were about to say.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, totally.
Yeah, yeah.
The reason is, though, when I say liberal, I'm talking about people who, like, are going to vote for Joe Biden.
Yeah.
They're clearly not paying attention.
They don't know or care about what's going on.
And they're just like – They clearly haven't even heard him speak. Right. Yeah. They're clearly not paying attention. They don't know or care about what's going on. And they're just like, I haven't even heard him speak. Right. Exactly. Now,
now the progressive far leftists. Yeah. Many of these people are now actually rather pro to a.
Yeah. This has been a big thing. Because of like with Antifa, there have been a lot of, you know, far left people who are like, no, we demand our rights to own weapons.
And you see and they're there. There are groups that are considered to be that or aligned like, no, we demand our rights to own weapons. And you see, and there are, you know, groups that are considered to be that or aligned like, you know, Black Panthers, for instance,
that showed up in Virginia. And all of the liberty-minded people agree, like we should
have a right to bear, you know, bear arms and that stuff. But the far leftists, I think,
will survive. The communists, the authoritarians, because they'll take what they want. They're
aggressive. Conservatives who are prepared and calm and like methodical, who are like not all of them,
but enough of them will be prepared and ready.
And then liberals like your average liberal in this country are going to be sitting on
their hands confused about what's happening around them.
Not believing it until someone comes and takes their stuff.
Yeah.
Or no, no.
I'll tell you what, like it's going to be in Manhattan and there's going to be like
a picture of this, a dude with like a beard and like wavy brown hair and thick black
frame glasses with a blue button up shirt tucked into his khakis with a leather belt,
sitting in his Manhattan apartment, watching the TV as they say, like the government has collapsed.
We don't know what this means. Then this door gets kicked in and a bunch of dudes come in and
they have their guns out and they're like, where's the food? Where's the food? And he's like, oh,
in the cabinet. And he's going to be like, what? What their guns out and they're like where's the food where's the food and he's like oh in the cabinet and he's gonna be like what what's happening and they're
gonna take his food they're gonna leave and he's gonna have no food yeah those are the kind of
people it's like yeah yep it's true that's the apocalypse i know yeah that's a quick this is
what they want yeah i don't know man but but you know i'll go back to that last point and we can
jump to the super chats but like i think we all know, we look at movies to see how people would react.
But when you look at movies like The Hunger Games or like, you know, I don't know, Dawn of the Dead or something,
we don't take in consideration the, you know, the political alignment or like the predictable behaviors of certain areas.
Like, you know, areas of utah for instance like more
mormon areas will react very very differently to new york very differently yeah i'd be willing
to bet too like religious areas will survive very very well oh yeah immediately because they have a
unifying you know force yeah right there's culture yeah whereas people of all different random
backgrounds and ideologies will be unified again by what you're in a city and everyone's running around and you're going to be like, I got to get
out of here. But if you're in an area with like, you know, a very religious community, you're
going to be like, let's go see what everyone's doing because you know, everybody, you can,
this is one of the things that's interesting about religion that we've lost as the U S has
become more secular is that people used to meet each other at the church and talk about stuff.
Cause I, I did this when, you know, when i was growing up how many people in new york get
together with their local community and talk to each other meet each other they don't do it at
all no never no they don't luke uh the we are changed dude has this video from a long time ago
where he went on the train and he was like all of these people millions of people every day on the
train never talked to each other at all.
Yeah, it's dead silent.
Yeah.
Everyone's on their phone, listening to music.
So, look.
Yeah, that's true.
I'm not saying, like, I'm personally not religious.
I'm not, you know, I don't read the Bible or anything like that.
But I think, fact-based, you have people in New York who have no ties to any community.
They don't know who lives below them.
Like, when I lived in Brooklyn, I had no idea who my downstairs neighbor was same here heard him
playing music almost almost all of my apartments i i didn't know anybody yep and the problem i mean
there is people aren't in places long term either you know they're there for a year maybe two but
then they find a different apartment with a different friend or they broke up with their significant other and they're like have to find new places and they're
like constantly moving.
And that's like every apartment, you know?
Right.
It's like.
So then when.
Consistency is not there.
Yeah.
When it hits the fan.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
Who do you trust?
You go downstairs, knock on your neighbor's door and you're like, we've never met before
and he goes, get your stuff.
Yep.
You have no idea.
Or he's like, take my stuff.
Please don't hurt me. And you're like, well, I didn't even ask you for your stuff. I don't want your stuff. Yep. You have no idea. Or he's like, take my stuff. Please don't hurt me.
And you're like, wow, I didn't even ask you for your stuff.
I need help.
Yeah.
I don't want your stuff.
Let's band together.
Right.
But I mean, you know, even like when I was growing up in Chicago, we knew all the neighbors.
Everybody knew each other.
New York?
Yeah, we lost that.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So, you know, I was thinking about it and I was reading something a while ago that actually
was not, it wasn't making this point,
but I realized it. They were talking about the water cooler, the town hall churches, and it was
talking about social media censorship and the threat we face because of it. And one of them was
that because people used to meet for church and it was like a very, very prominent thing in this
country, you know, decades and decades ago that conversations about politics were being had as
people were gathering and then leaving.
They would also do events.
When I was growing up, the church we had on,
I think it was on Sundays.
I don't know how often they would do this,
but I think Sunday mass was followed by like a potluck.
What is it called when like everyone brings something?
Everyone brings food.
And so me and my friends wouldn't, you know,
we were just little kids.
So we'd be like, dude, it's so awesome.
You go there and you just like stand there for an hour and then it's all the free food
we didn't know anything about the religious stuff but people would be hanging out and then people
would talk and they and they loved that there were kids there like eating and like of our own
volition yeah all that's being lost in big cities so yeah man let's grab this there you go if the
apocalypse happens there's a lot of reasons to speculate as to why your average liberal is doomed liberals pay attention that's for real
though i mean call it bias or whatever but let's grab some super chats and then what should we do
should we talk about atlantis yeah we'll talk about atlantis yeah there was a viral video where
people thought they discovered atlantis and um somebody wants to run on our parade. So we'll let them.
No.
Okay, here we go.
There's solar cycles and TGR.
Thanks for becoming a member.
Thank you.
Eric says, noticing similarities between Duncan Lemp and Trevin Cole.
Check out What Happened in Vegas by Ramsey Dennison.
We'll check it out.
I don't know what that symbol is.
They say Lydia can't comment on if she would shoot someone for legal reasons i cannot nope correct oh yeah the grizzly says if we're going to enter a dystopia
we should enter the warhammer 40 000 it's everything that that is the complete opposite
of star trek humans are a religious space empire built on constant war with space knights and
aliens is that what it is i have no idea idea. I've never played Warhammer. Sounds fun.
Chuck Morris says, I'm with Lydia.
Always double tap.
There you go.
Daroon says, always shoot to kill.
Many stories of bad guys suing homeowner and homeowner being forced to pay the criminal for life.
Well, in my opinion, that's not the reason to end someone's life.
You know, that they're going to sue you.
The bigger issue is that, you know, it really bothers me in movies.
It's like, dude, all the time they'll be like, I have subdued the bad guy.
And then they, like, run.
Like, dude, like, I'm watching a movie the other day and there's a guy who's, like, he's a slasher film.
He's killing people.
And then they finally, like, knock the guy down.
And they're like, quick, now let's leave.
And I'm like.
What?
You just knocked him down.
He's going to get back up.
He's going to get up.
And he's going to pick up his knife again.
Yeah.
Like, you have to defend yourself
and you've subdued him at the very least tie him up don't even do that when somebody's unconscious
it's not like in the movies you don't wake up 20 minutes early 20 minutes later it's later you wake
up like three minutes later not even three minutes it's such a short time it's like 30 seconds to
three minutes it's usually it's not long three minutes that's like brain damage that would be
the longer end yeah yeah it's like permanent brain damage though is it sure yeah people who get
knocked out like if you watch like mma they'll go down and they'll start to get back up right away
yeah it's a few seconds so that's what you know the reason i would say if you're in a self-defense
situation there are certain circumstances where you know our society finds lethal force justified
if somebody is is shown intent to continue no matter what happens,
you've got to stop them.
Not just you, but for other people.
That's what I can't stand.
People just don't have...
Oh, man.
That's what really bothers me about movies.
I always imagine a movie and I'm like,
they could have ended this movie in 10 minutes
and I want to see it ended in 10 minutes.
And for the record, I was just making a joke about that.
About what?
Not shooting to kill.
You're like, Adam, you have to. No, no about that. About what? Not shooting to kill. Oh.
You're like, Adam, you have to.
No, no, no, no. Here's what I want to do.
Can we start a production thing where we make three-minute versions of movies where we solve
the movie before anything happens?
We should.
Oh, that'd be so much fun.
Yes.
It's like the murderer is seen and someone goes like, or actually, you know, Family Guy
made that joke.
Did they?
Yeah, they did a cutaway gag to Home Alone with Competent Robbers.
Oh, no.
And the robbers walk in the front door, and the one guy goes, that was strange.
The doorknob was hot.
He's like, really?
He's like, yeah, but I just let go.
Huh.
And then Kevin MacLeod sits at the stairs.
He's like, ha-ha, I've caught you.
And then he goes, bang.
And the kid just died.
That's it.
That's brutal.
Competent robbers.
I love it.
I mean, don't do that. It was hot, so I let go. That's funny. Yeah that it was hot so i let go that's funny
yeah it was hot so i just let go because remember in the movie he holds it he's like
ah like it's silly movie well it's so hot that his skin i think burned and stuck to it i thought
it was uh electrocuted and that'll make your hand close that was a different a different part i
think yeah maybe it was just hot. It's a fun movie.
Oh, all right.
Come on, it's fun.
It's fun.
I would be very satisfied to watch movies end in a minute.
Like a one-minute short film.
Like here's Avatar ended in one minute.
I would have liked if Avatar had ended in one minute, to be fair.
I love that movie.
What's wrong with you guys? Avatar?
That was a great movie.
Oh.
I mean, it was Fern Gully, sure.
Yeah.
Redone.
Fern Gully and TV. Yeah. Redone. Fern Gully and TV.
But it was great.
Pocahontas, Fern Gully, and Dances with Wolves all like mashed together.
Everything I don't like.
Yeah, okay.
Apparently they got like six new scripts of it or something.
Oh, whatever.
Oh, great.
Yeah.
The Lopardi says, don't shoot to wound.
If you find yourself in a position that you have to shoot someone, it's a kill or be killed situation.
Stay safe and folks.
Well, I do agree with that.
I do think it's fair to
point out typically the rule is never point a gun at something you're not intending to destroy yeah
that was the rule yeah you know it's crazy to me that they don't allow civilians to own less lethal
weapons like like bean bags yeah bean bags pepper balls stuff like that interesting why aren't we
allowed to own that stuff there was a cool thing i saw i don't know it was like i think it was on
mythbusters i'm not sure where it was an invention this cop had where you put a cap over the gun and the first round is less
lethal and then after that it's lethal pop a cap i like that so yeah so it's like if if they're
trigger happy or you know if they let one out of the chamber it's like obviously it's they've
started something so the the first hit will put you in the hospital and you'll be like
vomiting blood yeah it's not pretty but you're not dead but you're not dead yeah but after that
the bullets are like so it's like normal bullets and it like catches something and then hits you
with this like red you know like a less lethal round interesting but you do not want to get
with those things no i don't want to get hit at all. Yep.
Shadowmaster says, right, it's always the anticipation that's the hardest part, or the quote, it's not the fall that kills you, but the impact.
Lance says, the TV show Revolution is a much watch about the end of the world.
Muscle says, Tim, when someone intends to do you harm, it's foolish to not end the threat.
Attempting to disarm a monster only puts yourself and anyone
you want to protect in undue danger only saying this because i care no i get it i think you know
it's an interpretation of what the event is right if you don't know why someone is doing something
and you're being proactive then you know but right if someone is coming in with a weapon and they're
screaming and firing guns like yeah you better you. Or if they're not saying anything and they have a gun, like some cops showing up in the
middle of the night wearing masks.
Oh, man.
Yep.
What do you do?
How are cops not getting killed?
They are.
It's happened.
And it's like, that's not surprising because they're showing up in the middle of the night.
And then the homeowner is a cop killer who goes to prison.
So crazy, man.
We have a constitution.
I wish it wasn't Swiss cheese right now.
Valleycat says,
about the libertarian t-shirt,
the politician you are looking for is Adam Kokesh.
Oh, I remember Adam.
I don't follow him and all that,
but he went to D.C.
I don't remember what happened with this,
but he brought a gun to D.C.,
he had a shotgun,
and he did a video,
and he like,
and you're not allowed to do that.
But he was trying to do this gun march
in defense of 2A
where they all crossed the bridge from Virginia virginia into dc and like protest and
then it ended up not happening i guess i think he got charged i don't know what happened yeah he's
a very libertarian dude rainick says if you want to see the after effects of an apocalyptic event
watch the film threads 1984 made by the bbc truly horrifying I don't know. Student of History says, Noah, radio with solar charger
costs $25 on Amazon,
has USB charger
so you can charge your phone.
Very cool.
Crash says,
Tim, normally US cities
only have a three-day food supply.
Think on that for a second.
Oh, I know it.
Yeah.
I totally know it.
Dude, I tell people this.
Like, you realize
they'll be eating each other
in New York.
Most people start fleeing
and then after a certain point,
people who stay behind. You know, if everybody flees New York, Most people start fleeing, and then after a certain point, people who stay behind.
You know, if everybody flees
New York, then they're going to have a lot
more than three days. But it depends on how many
people flee. If there's like one person in
Manhattan, they can probably eat for the rest of their lives.
Oh, for sure, yeah. If they can find the food.
No, but bodegas and like if there's no
other people. Yeah, just gotta go get it. Eventually
I'd imagine animals will find it though.
Yeah. So maybe you'll be like fighting animals or something. Yeah, just gotta go get it. Eventually I'd imagine animals will find it, though. Yeah. So maybe you'll be, like, fighting animals or something.
Yeah. Thanks to
Super Chat Simon. Damien
says, only seven months till winter starts your
uh, winter. Start your garden now.
Oh, yeah, definitely. LB says,
Adam, never say you would shoot to wound.
That would get you locked up, even in pro-gun states.
It's always shoot to stop the threat.
You see? Huh. Alright, well.
I've never heard this. I was making a joke, but people don't care.
No, it's fine.
It's fine.
Yeah, it's true.
I mean, if I let me just reiterate right now, if someone was coming at me and my family,
I would put them down.
Well, you would defend yourself with the necessary force.
Absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
So that if they weren't going to stop, what choice would I have?
Right.
And I would take the choice that I had.
And you'd probably still end up in prison
because we're in New Jersey.
Well, my family would be safe.
That's true.
Exactly it.
Yep.
That's how people feel.
Yep.
Caleb Foster says,
Soy Jesus isn't a soy boy.
He's a soy man.
Heck yeah.
And then he has a flexing emoji.
Woo, yeah.
Ghostel says,
The pandemic is going to shape our culture in the future,
much like how the Cold War shaped the 60s and 70s. Yeah. I think Americans are going to shape our culture in the future much like how the cold
war shaped the 60s and 70s yeah i think americans are gonna stop shaking hands i think so they're
gonna start wearing masks yeah juan says offer food and show your gun just no tool says have
you seen the road i haven't aaron larson says just finished watching your interview on crowder's live
channel how are you two places at once just Just kidding. Great job, Tim. Love seeing y'all
collab.
I actually have seen The Road. It's really
interesting about...
I don't remember who the two
main characters, but I think it's like an
adult and a kid traveling
down the road. I think it's maybe a father and son.
And it's an interesting take
on being able to trust people.
They run into different humans along the way, and it's like there's a constant tension in the air the entire movie because of it.
So it's interesting.
I just watched a movie where – yeah, it was a horror film, but I'll spare you the greater details.
It's actually pretty good.
And this guy ends up meeting a stranger.
He's looking for evidence of ghosts.
He meets a random guy, and he's offering a ton of money. And then the guy's like, we go in this abandoned building. And then
he just goes, look, if you just want to rob me or do some weird stuff, can I just give you the
money? Because I really don't want to deal with the other stuff. But it turns out the guy was
legit to an extent. I don't want to spoil the movie, but I find that funny. It's like, look,
okay, you know what, man? Just take the money. I'm done. You don't got to rob me. Just have it.
Yeah. Like, let's just cut the BS.
Some way to do it ab says if i was in tim's thought experiment i'd size them up if i could win i'd shoot if i couldn't i'd be all smiles but you
see that's what you don't know the person you're looking at might be the person thinking can i win
can i get that stuff that's the point yeah you don't don't know. Drunk. Oh, we just jumped again. I love it. I love it.
Where are we at?
I don't know where we're at.
Oh, there we go.

Utah and Idaho will be a powerhouse because of shared Mormonism, as well as Idaho farming and Utah mining and production. That's
what I was saying. I completely agree. Sam says Captain Kratzer of the USS Teddy Roosevelt has
been relieved of command for the COVID letter being leaked. What's your opinion on the matter?
Scary stuff. That is scary. You know, I don't, is it his fault the letter got leaked? That's crazy.
Yeah. What do you do? I don't know. I don't know. War is a brewing man. Ethan Johansson says,

ooh check it out
Vanessa Stoller says
to spoil your next movie
if the character
doesn't have an iPhone
they are the bad guy
I heard about that
Apple wouldn't let them
give bad guys iPhones.
Really?
Yeah.
Interesting.
JVal says, in the ashes of civilization, there will be two factions, the Mormons in the West
and the Amish in the East.
Yes.
I was thinking about the Amish.
Jack Halsey says, check out the anime Dr. Stone.
Follows a modern scientist stuck in the Stone Age after the end of humanity.
It is.
It's pretty cool.
It's a weirdly educational show.
It is.
It's basically like everyone
turns to stone for some reason and then this really really smart guy wakes up in the future
where humanity is we're like just in stone age and he's trying to build cell phones and so it's
like he has to go through all the basics first okay first we need to smelt metal then we need
to generate electricity here's how we build a vacuum tube it's actually like it's like kind of like magic school bus almost yeah yeah though one thing about the the mormons
and the amish i feel like the mormons would be better set up because they're more um technological
technological and can probably defend themselves against roving bands of crazies where the amish are not not i don't know if they even
do they use guns you know are they i don't think so carriers i i don't really know i thought i
thought it was their way to like keep true to the old ways you know like you know no electric
anything but uh i don't know if they're not it's not necessarily true that they don't use technology i don't know
what the rules are but i do know that like in chicago farmers markets they were amish farmers
that would come in to sell stuff and they were like normal people with trucks okay and there's
i don't know what the rules are but someone there was explaining it to me but i did go somewhere in
maryland that had an amish market okay and it's like there was a lot of regular technology there
but a lot of people dressed
in very Amish clothes.
We're not very far from Amish.
We should go to Amish country.
Apparently they do own them for like pest control.
They do not want to use them against other people.
That's like the whole point.
Interesting.
Yeah.
I'm going to speed up super chats because we got to get this Atlanta segment.
But Buck says, if you're interested about the effects of urban life on group behavioral
psychology, Tim, do a little research into John B. Calhoun's Rat City and Mouse Utopia experiments from the 50s and 60s. We'll check
it out. Simona says huge gap in the US education is the study of the Soviet Union and Russian

as bad as 9-11 was, it was just a few hours on a tuesday morning
i can't imagine the implications of this in our future too i am a firearm manufacturer and
business is great but supply line is shot oh dude yikes yeah that makes sense drunk shovel says
sinus aportet distri is that len paxton fairbank says the mormons fought a war against the u.s
before the civil war eat your heart out texas go. Well, now on to our as we get away from dystopian. Yes, this is interesting.
Like, I actually I listen. We formulate these things very well. We started with here's something
legitimately happening. Right. That's scary. The next segment was here's, you know, it's not the
apocalypse we expected, but what's
apocalypse like?
Now we have what happens after the apocalypse and history has wiped you out.
The story of Atlantis.
So there's this thing, it's called like the Rai Chat structure, I guess.
And there are people who, there's a viral YouTube video claiming they found Atlantis.
And obviously the first thing I pull up is the skeptics know Atlantis has not been discovered in North Africa.
So check out this structure.
I wonder if they show this on the Wikipedia page.
This is where it is.
And you can see this image here.
A topographical reconstruction scaled 6 to 1 on the vertical axis from satellite photos show false coloring.
Whatever the point is.
So it's got a Wikipedia page.
Look at that.
Isn't that crazy?
It's like a weird circular structure.
So that's not actually what color it is.
This is a satellite picture.
It says false color.
Does that mean it's not an added color to it?
Well, they have the other photo right here, right?
It's like brown.
Oh, okay.
That looks more legit.
This YouTube video, I got i gotta admit was really fascinating oh
but of course like i always mention they could easily frame stuff to like make you think things
yeah yeah so what the argument is is that it like the water level used to be higher
and that this circular structure where you can see water pouring in describes basically what
atlantis is i wonder if there's an image of atlantis here oh they don't have it oh that's
kind of a bummer there's a drawing of of Atlantis as it was described by who described
it. Was it Plato? No, no, no. But it's a lost civilization of Atlantis. It was described by,
you know, a bunch of people, I guess. And it's really interesting to see, you know,
the Rishat structure is what they what they consider. Let me pull up Atlantis right here
because the location hypotheses will start with this and then we'll talk about why they think
they didn't find it. So they say since Donnelly's day, there have been dozens of locations proposed for
Atlantis, to the point where the name has become a generic concept, divorced from the specifics of
Plato's account. This is reflected in the fact that many proposed sites are not within the
Atlantic at all. Few today are scholarly or archaeological hypotheses, while others have
been made by psychic Edgar Cayce or other pseudoscientific means, the Atlantis researchers Jacques-Colina
Girard and Georgios Diaz-Montexano, for instance, each claim the other's hypothesis is pseudoscience.
Many of the proposed sites share some of the characteristics of the Atlantis story.
Water, catastrophic end, relevant time period, but none has been
demonstrated to be a true historical Atlantis. So I'm sorry I'm raining on your parade before
we even get started. But the general idea is there was once a great civilization.
It was completely wiped out. I'm going to read you this story about the video.
The first thing I want to say, though, to those of you who want to live in a post-apocalyptic
society, guess what? You are. They don don't realize it there have been great civilizations that have risen and fallen yeah and we are living in the aftermath of them
we've just continually gone up so even if things get really bad now and everything collapses
in 100 years people are not going to realize it they're not going to think twice yeah you know
or maybe maybe more than 100 yeah we're we're actually in the great year like there's a there's
like a wave of of like when we're right at the bottom, the very dark time.
I don't know if it's certain.
I'm not saying I believe it, but that's what they say.
It's like the great year comes in waves every 13,000 years, I guess.
It's like a golden age and then a dark age.
And supposedly, the calendar year ends at the very bottom of the dark age. So you think we're starting a dark age or we're in the dark age and supposedly it ends the calendar year ends at the very bottom of the dark age so
you think we're starting a dark age or we're in the dark age well supposedly we would be in the
dark age right now at the very bottom point really where it goes it hits zero in 2012 oh okay so now
we're we're gonna see an upswing up over the next 13000 years. Oh, okay. To the next golden age peak.
I don't know if that makes sense to me.
I mean, we're living pretty good.
True.
Yeah.
I mean, for what we believe we are living good.
So you're saying like the next 13,000.
We could be living much better, I think.
Frame of reference.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah, but everyone hates each other.
That's true. We've got a great comfortable bubble that It's like, yeah, but everyone hates each other. I mean,
we've got a great comfortable bubble that we're all comfortable in,
but still everyone seems to hate something,
you know,
hate,
hate somebody else.
I kind of unified.
I don't,
I don't think we're looking at humans 13,000 years.
I think right now,
depending on what your,
your politics are,
we could be looking at,
uh,
there's a, there's a resurgence of traditionalism,
where there's going to be. We're starting to see feminists freak out. We're seeing vanity
politics kind of get washed away. And the manufacturing is coming back, border security,
nationalism. Yeah, it's like we're going back. So a lot of people, more traditionalists are
probably happy about all these changes. Other people on the left feel like we're going to
apocalypse. So it's really just your politics for, your politics for the most part. Yeah,
exactly. I think we're heading towards some kind of hard reset on the country and I think it's
going to get bad. And then I don't know, I don't know what the time period is. So, so basically,
you know, I gave you the gist of it. This is, you know, the interesting claim, but I'm immediately
going into the debunk, which I kind of feel bad about. And I think we should have pulled up something better,
but here's what they basically say about what Atlantis may have been.
Some of the specific claims, the primary piece of evidence for this viral video is that the
Rishat structure is a series of concentric rings that precisely matches Plato's description of
Atlantis. The only real match, however, is the simple fact that both are concentric rings, which is not unlikely at all. This is a great example of interpreting a general similarity following
basic geometry as if it were a specific match. Concentric rings are not uncommon in nature.
He further has to use some creative imagination to argue that the Reichshead structure,
if it were fed by rivers and therefore filled with water, would have two rings of land and
three of water. But that is not obvious at all. The rings are not discrete, not complete in places,
and it's unclear how water would fill the structure. You could count four rings of water
if you looked at the whole structure. This is also an example of ignoring details that don't fit.
Plato also described a canal that ran through all the walls to the outer structure,
connecting the rings. No such canal is evident. So that was, that's basically a general debunk of the right-hit structure.
I don't know if we actually have, you know, I kind of feel bad.
I don't think we have enough to actually get into.
We probably should have pulled up, I had a better article and I thought,
I felt bad pulling up something that was just too extraordinary.
No, that's fine.
Do you ever hear about the underwater city that's like outside Japan? No, that's fine. Do you ever hear about the underwater city
that's like outside Japan?
No, what's that?
There's like straight up like a city.
Well, I haven't seen it myself.
I haven't like scuba dived down
in the water south of Japan,
but supposedly there's this city under there.
Have you heard of it?
Yeah, it's called Yonaguni Island.
Yeah, and they said it's like the you know the atlantis of the east
of japan yeah there's a there's a bunch of isn't alexandria underwater like i guess so not not
something like that not not like necessarily the entire city but there's a lot of places that were
like in egypt so what is water rising are all these cities like wiped out or maybe where they
were built well i mean if you think about it what what was the last ice age 10,000 years ago?
I don't know.
If there was so much ice
on the planet,
like ice is all melting
so the waters are rising,
but if there was so much ice
10,000 years ago,
wouldn't all the water be frozen
so that the water would be lower
and then lower altitudes
would be hotter
in some places
so that they would be able to grow?
It depends on if the ice is on a landmass or not.
Do you ever see the movie Stargate?
Yes, a long time ago.
I loved Stargate.
And it's really interesting because it's basically an alien that comes to Earth
and uses the pyramids as like a charging station.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
And there's like planets all over with these Stargates
that connect them all.
And he would, or the alien, I say he,
but just because it took over the body of a boy.
But it was cool because it built all the ancient stuff
and used us as slaves to basically mine materials that it needed.
And Stargate Atlantis, it's kind of they find
a ring i mean it was a tv show i actually haven't seen in a while it doesn't have anything to do
with um the movie the movie per se but you know atlantis was actually just a place that we warped
to and it's not actually a place on earth and i always thought that was kind of cool of an
interesting premise they basically say that most people believe atlantis is just a myth of the story
we believe it was real or it could you know you know what's interesting to me is how
we have all this fictional lore of goblins and you know witches and yeah and it's like all that
stuff really just comes from back when humans didn't have mass communication and rapid communication.
And you're just like a regular guy living a regular life, and you're walking, and all of a sudden you find a very twisted, deformed human.
Yeah.
And then you go and describe it, and then boom, now there's stories of the crooked witch with the hooked nose.
Yeah.
And it's just descriptions or like we talked about before about how
you know vampires was
what was it like rabies or something
it all just turned into something else for all we know
Atlantis was like this little hovel
like a really crappy little thing and then
it's just a game of telephone someone described
it was like it's a really cool place it's like this little village and there was
like a ring of water around it and someone's like I heard
there was this town with a ring of water
around it and the next guy's like did you hear about this city that has this big ring of water and it's like a ring of water around it. And someone's like, I heard there was this town with a ring of water around it. The next guy's like,
did you hear about this city
that has this big ring of water
and it's like these big tall walls?
Yeah.
And then everyone keeps imagining
it being bigger and bigger.
And over the thousands of years
of playing telephone
along the human history line.
Yeah, it's interesting.
So here's something that's not imaginary.
Cleopatra's Palace in Alexandria
actually is underwater.
And oh, it is amazing
looking um they found more than 140 artifacts they uncovered i guess they were cast into the
sea by an earthquake so this wasn't really like melting ice or anything okay um they want the
ruins to be opened up to divers and tourists oh i want to go oh i'm getting certified too so
i read a story about a Civil War painting.
I don't know if it's true or not.
I was reading this book a long time ago, and they said that somebody drew a painting that showed regulars, the British regulars, firing on a bunch of Minutemen farmers running away.
The next time the painting was recommissioned, the person showed a few of the Minutemen fighting back.
They were like, well, some of them were fighting fighting back the next painting showed very few people running away the next commission you
know of the battle showed a standoff between you know minute men and regulars firing equally
and then eventually after recommissioning of the battle it was the redcoats fleeing and it was the
the minute men standing their ground so history is left to the
rich people to or not necessarily the rich people but the people who are dictating what is taught
and there there are people in culture right now who want to alter history who want to change
history by claiming you know it's like christopher columbus what i was just thinking it you know we
knew of him yeah and now what they're saying about him, it's all changed. It's just what people choose.
I do think it's funny, too.
What I will give in terms of credit to the social justice activists is that we have a very Eurocentric view of the world.
Like the discovery of America.
I've never understood this.
We didn't discover it.
There were already people here.
Those people discovered it.
When did they first get here?
Or even for that matter, like Leif Erikson.
Like, Christopher Columbus didn't discover America.
He found some island in the Bahamas, didn't he?
Yeah.
And then, you know.
Plymouth Rock?
Like, no.
No, that wasn't him.
That was the Pilgrims.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Yeah, but, like, Leif Erikson was going, like, north and around, so he ended up in, like,
Nova Scotia or something.
Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, but like Leif Erikson was going like north and around. So he ended up in like Scotia or something.
Yeah, but we do.
And I think it's fair to point out that, you know, history is very culture specific.
It was interesting to me, too, when I was listening.
I think I mentioned this before listening to the radio and they talked about the beer law of like the German, the Belgian beer law of like 1260 or something.
And I'm like, wow.
Why?
No, no. It's just these laws that have persisted for a millennia or whatever
but i i so here's what ended up happening so i'll i'll eat this one i had an article about
atlantis and explaining this and i was concerned that it was conflating too much and trying to
make it sound like it was real when it wasn't okay and i forgot to pull i was going to pull
it both and i only have the one and i'm like, oh, this is missing too much information. So, yeah. We'll do a better job.
Yeah, my concern
is that if we get too fantastical
with something that's obvious.
So there's this viral video. It's really cool, by the way, but you should watch it.
Then I'm, you know, I'm just trying to
be more skeptical. But hey, it is what it is.
Whatever. I'm tired.
We'll eat it. We'll grab some Super Chats.
Yeah, man.
Alright, where are we at?
People talking about Stargate. Yeah. Yeah, man. All those Super Chats. All right. Where are we at? People talking about Stargate.
Yes.
Here we go.
I really like the shows.
They were really good.
Keyboard.
Thanks for the Super Chat.

All right.
I don't know what it is,
but all right.
Victor says,
you should do a deep dive
on the structures on Mars
and the fact that NASA
detected Uranium-235,
which can only be created
through a nuclear detonation.
What?
That is interesting.
That's cool.
Spider Chan says,
Stargate SG-1,

robert says i've only caught two podcasts live and in both you reference theories that graham
hancock has hypothesized said that you called him a pseudo scientist last time i did i don't know
who he is.
Graham Hancock?
No, we haven't.
I think tonight is the first time we ever mentioned him.
No, I just read what the Wikipedia said.
Right?
I don't even know who that guy is.
No.
Yeah, no.
I don't know.
I missed it.
I will have to look him up.
Yeah.
No, I don't know.
I take responsibility.
Abcoat says, It is known that after the cataclysm, the Atlanteans fled to the Thurian continent,
settled in the grim lands of Samaria, and from there, number was born Conan. Ah, interesting.
Stively says, look up the Reichette structure or Eye of Africa. Yeah, that's what we had pulled up.

That's why I didn't realize I was going to be on
Crowder because I forgot it was Thursday.
Time flies, man. People were saying you were great on Crowder
Crowder is hilarious
really good at being at two places at once
Crowder likes breaking the rules
not like I don't want to say
like no he likes pushing the envelope
he's a comedian
he's good I started following him recently
he's a funny dude
I like his content
I will add this too for all of you that saw it or missed it. The one last thing I'll say before we sign off is that
when it comes to politics right now, it's not even about policy. You know, like conservatives
aren't arguing about like the left and right arguments are typically about like, which person
do you like? Is the president a good president or a bad president? It's like if you say I don't know, then you must be a conservative.
If you say I hate him, then you must be
a liberal. But those aren't policy positions.
Just feelings. That was like a
part of the conversation we were having that just reminded me of.
Anyway, we're going to wrap it up.
Feel free to follow us. There's my tag.
