Obamagate! Donald Trump tweeted Obamagate. It is the biggest tweet in the world, the most replied, the most retweeted, the most quoted. Obamagate, what does it mean? Is that true? The most? Yeah. Out of all? Out of everything. Yeah. Wow. Everything. It's just, it's Twitter right now. Obamagate. That's all, that's all he said. Man, there's too much to talk about for Obamagate. We're not talking about Obamagate. I just had to say it because it is such a big like i don't know he tweeted it and everyone was like no we're talking about elon musk and a bunch of other stuff um much better elon musk said arrest me bro do it what you're gonna do no he actually he actually tweeted out watch he gets arrested i don't think so i that they'd be nuts i mean texas arrested a salon or was it texan texas or was it florida it was texas

salon owner salon owner. Oh, salon owner. This is great. I mean, it's California. It wouldn't surprise me if he got arrested. So we actually have a very fun first hour. So we got Elon Musk basically saying, I'm reopening. I'm reopening my factory.

You can't do anything about it. Come at me, bro. Yeah, come arrest me. He was like, if anyone's going to be arrested, arrest me. And so he's getting ragged on by the left, and it's like a weird culture war thing. But Elon Musk is actually in the right for a lot of reasons we'll talk about. But this brings us to the next bit is that there's a bunch of prisoners caught on tape trying to catch COVID. This is crazy.

You know why? Because they'll probably get out, right? Exactly. So now they're like, hey, get me sick so I can go home. Let me get that get out of jail COVID. But the salon owner, knock her up. Well, I mean, they let her go. Well, because of the intervention. But think about how insane it is.

I know. They're exploiting the system to escape the switch. You know what, man? All right. Anyway, welcome to the show, everybody. This is Tim Castarro podcast. I am Tim Poole. And I'm hanging out with some peeps.

You know, you know me it's adam you know me it's adam krigler hanging out what up and there's a another person here it's me i'm lydia hello lydia's a human yeah i mean i am it's true bears the burdens and a little skyrim joke for y'all yeah so uh thanks for hanging out make sure to uh hit that subscribe button if you haven't hit the like button if you haven't and i don't know there's something else you're supposed to do right like oh share no share follow me follow adam oh yeah here wait there's his at there we go oh i'm getting good at this follow me for those up on twitter for those that are only listening adam is excited because he successfully pointed to his name on the screen first try first. First try, right away. First try?

Yeah, it's great. But you should absolutely follow Adam because you can send him story ideas. Please do. On the Twitters. Yeah. At Adam Krigler. And then we actually use those stories. So, yeah, man, don't forget.

Also hop into the Super Chat because we're going to be reading questions and comments and all that good stuff. But do your best. If you're going to Super Chat, try and put the specific context in it. Because oftentimes people will be like, they'll say something like, man, I disagree with that.

That's crazy. And we'll be like, we don't know what you're referring to. So it really helps if you want to get to the specifics of the question, make it easier for us. But we've got a bunch of stories. We might actually get to a few other stories. Donald Trump giving a smackdown to the press is always fun. But we've got a story. This kid, this 11-year-old kid, nailed the first ever.

It was a fakey 1080, I'm pretty sure. It was fakey. So there's an interesting debate here, though, because I did talk about this on my other channel, but it'll be interesting to talk with Adam about it. 11-year-old skateboarder breaks a record landing the first ever 1080. And we've got another story about transgender athletes. So there's a lot of questions that come up around puberty and testosterone i think we can talk to but the first story and what we got to get to mr elon musk elon musk defies coronavirus order and asks to be arrested kind of i know my my title

for the video he said arrest me bro is much more exaggerated than what they said but he basically said if anyone's gonna be arrested i just ask it's only me. So it's basically the same. It's the same. There's a lot going on here, man. And it's funny because Elon Musk is getting dragged, but he's absolutely in the right on this one for so many reasons. But let's read the story to get you the context. The Verge writes, Tesla is reopening its California car factory against Alameda County's wishes. They say Musk spent parts of the weekend railing against the order, which was put in place in mid-March by Alameda County officials in order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The order restricted all but essential

businesses from performing anything other than the most minimal operations, like processing payroll. After initially fighting the order, Tesla shut down the factory on March 23rd. Musk has argued that the statewide stay-at-home order put in place by Governor Gavin Newsom left room for Tesla's auto manufacturing plant to remain open. And Musk had Tesla file a lawsuit against the county on Saturday in protest. On Monday, Newsom said that the state has had very constructive conversations with the county officials and Tesla representatives, and that he hopes the company could open up as early as next week. Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty told the New York Times this past weekend

that the county and Tesla had been close to an agreement to reopen the factory on May 18th, but that was before Musk lashed out and filed the lawsuit on Saturday. Tesla started making cars over the weekend, as The Verge reported earlier on Monday. So apparently, what, they've already broken the weekend, as The Verge reported earlier on Monday. So apparently, what? They've already broken the order, it sounds like, and told all of the employees that it placed on furlough to get ready to get back to work. Those employees have been told they can stay home if they feel uncomfortable, but have to take unpaid leave in order to do so.

Wow. Other automakers. Yeah, but it's a furlough. Can't they just file and get the claim like everybody else does through the government or the Trump bucks or something? Yeah, I guess. I think most people. Can't they just file and get the claim like everybody else does through the government or the Trump bucks or something? Yeah, I guess. I think most people haven't even got it anyway, though. I actually know somebody who used to work at Tesla, and I know for a fact that Elon works his employees pretty tough and hard anyway.

Yeah. So it's like, that's kind of brutal. Like, yeah, you could stay home if you're uncomfortable, but you're not going to get paid. But why would they get paid if they don't come to work? Everyone's furloughed. I mean, are they getting unemployment, though? That's up to them to file. Furloughed means you're... Not getting

paid. Right, but you're not fired. Right. So can you get unemployment if you're not fired? Yes. Oh, okay. Specifically, the CARES Act covers that. Oh, cool, cool. Yeah. So let's just pull up Mr. Musk's tweet here. Oh, yes. He said, Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules.

I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me. So he's going to be down on the line working the factory also. Is that what he's saying? Like, I'll be on the line too? Am I right? Okay. Interesting.

I respect it. So the first reason why Elon Musk is in the right, and the most obvious one, Gavin Newsom said that the state was easing up and they were going to allow manufacturing plants to reopen. So Elon Musk was like, all right, great. Here we go. Awesome. And then Alameda County specifically intervened and was like, nope.

The mayor of Fremont, where the plant is, said yes. What? Yup. So Alameda is seemingly interfering with arbitrary rules that it's like, why? Yeah, why? What? Messing with Elon. That's got to be it.

The other point, why Elon Musk is in the right. He said, you don't have to come to work. It's crazy because we're seeing all of these people on the left say things like, Elon Musk is a whiny baby putting his employees at risk. It's like, the employees well don't don't they as human beings have agency to decide whether to work or not yeah exactly it's like you don't want to get sick man just stay home yes well how is said that you can stay home if you don't if you're uncomfortable so are they like trying to insinuate he's a slave driver he's gonna snatch him up from their house and drop him in the factory

and lock all the doors work slave well you were saying so so you were saying you know somebody who's to work there right yeah their argument against him well this woman lorena gonzalez who's like a really controversial democrat in san diego said f elon musk i just snapped whoa yeah and elon musk responded message received whoa okay but she was claiming that he that he's a bad boss. Okay. He overworks people. Well, I have heard that firsthand. That he overworks people? But at the same time, well, he doesn't work for them anymore, but he still enjoyed working for Tesla.

It's not like he was, I mean, it was stressful, but he liked his job. It was enjoyable for him. So it wasn't like he left angrily you know so i don't know it's it doesn't make sense you can always quit someone to say f you yeah i mean that's nuts so that you can always quit exactly here's the funny with that the funny thing about that lady is that she's responsible for something called assembly bill 5 okay which resulted in like thousands of lefty journalists getting fired it was a crazy bill It was the gig economy bill that basically said, if you're a writer, you can only write like 35 pieces per year.

What? Yeah, because the unions were like, hire full-time employees or don't hire or don't contract because contracts undermine labor rights. Oh, okay. So she was like, you got it. And then all of these lefty writers started like, at first they were like, we did it, everybody.

We won. Union rights. Yee-hee. And then December came around. And they got a notification from all of their companies saying, we're terminating your contracts. And they were like, but, but, but, but, but. But what now? The funny thing about that was Vox.com wrote an article saying, like, a major win for progressives.

This bill that you this woman passed and then vox ended up laying off thousands of uh severing the contracts of like thousands of writers like at january 1st and all these people it's like dude you were cheering for this anyway but it's not like people that actually worked at vox right it was more like the people that they they did hired not like per per article right yeah but it's like you might have a contract with Vox where it says we want you to write 20 articles per week. Okay. That's your job.

The reason you're a contractor is because... But is that the same thing, though? As what? I don't know. As someone that would be hired to write an article. Technically. So here's the issue. The reason that they would contract you for a writing job

is because you can do it anywhere at any time so long as you deliver so basically put it this way if i was like yo adam i need from you a uh a little wooden boat okay i need five of those every week i'd start whittling just whittle but you whittle when you feel like it you could whittle all in one day if you want just as long as every sunday you give me those five little boats i'm gonna put them in my shop why why would i have to hire you as an employee of my company you run your own company you're You could whittle all in one day if you want. Just as long as every Sunday you give me those five little boats, I'm going to put them in my shop. Why would I have to hire you as an employee of my company? You run your own company. You're a boatmaker.

You know what I mean? Well, unless I am hired as your company. Because if not, there's the other side. You can hire an actual boatmaker. You can contract someone who does really good whittling boats. Or I can work here and work for you but you're not as you're like part of your company the point is the argument from this woman and like we're getting a little off track we'll come back don't worry it's gonna be fun but but i would be in the in the union and that whittler wouldn't be in the union and then and then you couldn't sell any of

your wood products to anyone else my boats what no no, no, no. The widdled boats that I make. Let's say you have 10 clients. Okay. And you widdle five boats for each client every week. Sure. And now because of that bill, they all terminate their contracts with you. They shut your company down. Exactly.

Wouldn't you be able to sell your boats wherever you want then? You'd think you'd be able to, but no but no according to this bill they can't contract you in this way yeah right so this this lady is responsible for terminating probably hundreds of thousands of jobs and destroying a bunch of companies and sole proprietorships and she got tore up so she has the nerve to come out against elon musk because he's like i want to reopen my factory people to work put people back to work even though the governor, the city agrees, and this one county is like, no, not Elon. They're like, we don't like Elon, so we're just going to keep his factory shut down. I'm going to throw some shade at the COVID argument people because I got this tweet here.

Hold on, let me get my umbrella. Yeah. Okay, I'm ready. Check it out. Ready. So this dude, James Todaro, MD, says, update on COVID-19 at Smithfield Meat Plant in South Dakota. It has now been almost one month since the first employee death

and three weeks since the second death. Out of nearly 1,000 confirmed infections, still only two deaths. Infection fatality rate is 0.2%. 0.2. Comparable to the flu. Hmm. A little bit worse. But the reason I bring this up is there's two points we made.

The first, to be fair, look, man, you could get sick. Yeah. You don't want to get sick. It's like the flu. Some people die. It's a nasty flu. It's 0.2%. So it's arguably like, you know, 33% to 30% worse than the flu at this number.

But this plant and South Dakota has never locked down. They're fine. Yeah. They're like what ranked the 30th in terms of hospitalizations for COVID. But you had all the press being like, you must lock down, you must shut down your economy. And the governor was like, no, we won't do it. Yeah. So now looking at this data, going back to Elon Musk's point, reopening the factory, it looks like for the most part, you might get sick, but that's about it.

Hey, if you're healthy, you could probably beat it. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Most people who get it, it's like the flu. Now, well, be careful because it is still serious.

It is novel. So a lot more people are still likely to get it, but they only have a thousand confirmed infections. That may actually be a lot more people are still likely to get it. But they only have 1,000 confirmed infections. That may actually be a lot considering how many people work at the plant. Confirmed infections, though. So that's not counting the people that got it

and don't know they got it. Right, right, right. Because there's a high chance of not having any symptoms at all, right? Isn't that also something that's going on? Yeah, asymptomatic. Right. So the point I'm trying to make,

everybody calm down, because I know that the Google ban people are, they have fingers shaking over the button getting ready to just ban. What I'm saying is it's serious. There was a lot of overestimates. We got to take it seriously. We don't want anyone to die. It's novel.

So it's worse than the flu in that regard. More people are likely to get it and does have a higher infection rate. I'm sorry, a higher mortality rate. But I'm just saying it's not the apocalypse at the end of the world. Everyone can calm down. You know, you don't you don't have to worry. It's a point to mortality rate. Take the precautions you need to take. Wear your mask, wear your protective gear. The Tesla has taken a ton of crazy precautions and they have like a mandatory training thing for people to be like more cautious when dealing with

good materials they've also moved things around to streamline the process in the factory so the point i'm trying to make is everybody was freaking out saying the world was going to end we were worried this was going to be a lot worse than it was it's not the worst case scenario for you know for a lot of places actually we've seen all these studies come out it could be bad it's not it's not the three percent we thought it was going's not it's not the three percent we thought it was going to be it's at the four percent we thought it was going to be yeah so look man i don't see why uh people can't choose to go back to work if they want to you know that's just that's just it it's elon musk is not forcing anybody you can stay furloughed if you want you

can go back to work if you want they're taking precautions and i think people for tribal reasons are just trying to go after elon and you know i I want to go back to that point about the Lorena Gonzalez woman. We'll drive a little bit on this. I wanted to make sure we wrapped up the Elon thing a little bit. But I really want to talk about this lady who's attacking Elon Musk because what she's proposed is the most – it's one of the most insane things I've ever heard. Basically, unions wanted to make sure that everybody was working at the company so that the union could pressure them to join the union. Because in California, my understanding is if you get hired to a company that's a union, you've got to join the union. Okay. I hate that.

And you have to pay union dues and all that. Imagine getting a law passed where you can force people to pay your organization. That's messed up. I hate it. Yeah, it's pretty messed do with your organization if you want the job you got to do it that may not be true i don't i don't know exactly if california has that law but a lot of places do there's a lot of lawsuits popping up where people are uh suing saying i shouldn't have to join your union to work here okay and so i think they're winning in some of these places but i mean what would it why would it be? I know it's forcing anyone to do anything is the problem that you have with it, right? But I always was going under the assumptions that unions were a good thing, right? They protected your rights.

Maybe 70, 80 years ago. So you don't think we even need unions anymore? We need collective bargaining. Unions are messed up bad. Okay. There are some good unions for sure but like what it's become is you get these i'm not gonna i'm not gonna name some of these because they're just they're just like shakedown organizations that'll sue me if i say their names but they go

to media companies they convince activists to unionize not because they need improvements to their benefits or anything like that but to force all the employees to pay those union dues every month. And then the union can claim, we just added, you know, 300 new subscribers. Imagine if you could snap your fingers and 300 people were giving you 50 bucks a month or something. It's great. Love that money. Sounds pretty good. And what do they really do for you?

Let me try it. What do they really do for you? It's not working. So what we need is, what we need is legit unions. Yeah. And that's, that's the challenge. Like, we need is legit unions. Yeah. And that's the challenge. Like, how do you weed out the corruption and the breakdown of the system? So the initial concept of unions was, like, really, really great.

You know? You had a bunch of really awful conditions, and all the people got together and engaged in collective bargaining, which is fantastic. Yeah. And I'm, like, I'll put it this way. I'm actually extremely pro-union. Okay. But my concern is that a lot of the big corporate unions are corrupt and they exploit companies and try and hurt them and things like that. So you end up with people who don't know what they're doing, giving up their rights.

Let me tell you, man, I worked for a company. They forced me to join the union and then I couldn't move at all within the company. It was like all of my opportunity and all my rights were gone because, and whenever I had a problem, I couldn't go to my boss. I couldn't go to the supervisors and be like, yo, I got a problem. They'd go, no, no, no union rep, union rep. Nope. Get out, get out, get out. I can't talk to you. I can't talk to you about this. So then I'd have to go to a union rep and then issue my grievance. If I wanted to raise, go to a union rep. And then you know, the rep would say, yeah, yeah. I don't know, man, you know, whatever. I'd be like, well, how do we do it? Negotiations, man.

They come at the end of the year. Come on, bro. I'm working. So you couldn't do anything. I'm already getting your paycheck. I don't care. They don't care. That's what I hear right now.

So, like, the issue I take with it is that it got so big that instead of actually defending the rights of people, it just defends the rights of the people who line their pockets with gold. We had people who would run for executive board. They'd be making an extra $20,000 a year because the union basically pays them. That sounds like the problem with most positions of power. It's always the same thing. Whoever gets to the power, they're like, oh, you know, this power is pretty good. My bank account's looking pretty fantastic. I don't really care about my morals anymore.

My bank account. Look at my bank account. They never cared. Look at my bank account, though. Yeah. That's not. That's important. Got to take care of me on my own, they would say.

That's a thing. That's why, like, for me, running these companies, we were talking about. I don't know if we talked about Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks. Yeah, we did. And he's like union busting. Yeah. That was hilarious. Nah, nah. You know what it is? It's funny because he's supposed to be a

progressive. My attitude is this. I'll give you honest advice. I think the problem with unions, you know, but if you want to come to me and tell me you're going to unionize, I'm going to be like, hey, man, you do your thing. Like if you want to jump into a wellhead first, I don't care. I'm not going to stop you, man. I'm all about freedom and liberty. So you do what you got to do. And I just think it's detrimental to the individuals. A lot of people don't get it. They don't get it. You're giving up so much to it. It really depends. It's the point, right? It's like I was mentioning, it's corrupt organizations that lock you down, take your money and hold you back, especially at, you know, to be honest, like, especially the company like the Young Turks,

they're not that big. They're pretty big. Yeah. But I wouldn't want to be involved in any of the person. What's pretty big? Like 30, 50 employees? No, I'm talking like thousands. Oh, they have a thousand. No, no, no, no, no. Young Turks probably has a hundred

or something like that. Yeah, yeah. All right. So I'm saying, yeah, yeah. They're not very big. Right. So that's the kind of company where you can walk up to Cenk

and be like, yo, here's what I need and here's what I want. You can get involved. You can never do that again i mean you probably could you know because it's still not that big yeah yeah but i'll tell you what man i've been i've worked at companies that have dealt with this stuff and it's like you lose that freedom to shine they cut off the tall grass it's it locks you down it it basically straps everyone's ankles together which can be a good thing for the people who can't swim so look think about it this way. You got 100 people all in the ocean. You got 20 of them who can't swim, 20 of them who can swim really, really well, and the rest are average. You chain everyone

together, and the really great swimmers are being held down by everyone else, and the really bad swimmers are being held up by everyone else. I personally don't want someone chained to my leg. That sounds horrible. That's how I view it. That's my view of it. Okay. But that's why I'm saying if someone came to me and they were like, I think we want to do this, I'd be like, go for it. I don't care.

Keep me out of it. Yeah. I mean, that's why I run my company. I don't – I'm not going to – that's the thing, right? When I worked for these companies, I was straight up like, no, I don't want to be involved. Yeah. When I worked for these companies, I was straight up like, no, I don't want to be involved. But anyway, going back to that Lorena Gonzalez woman, the most detrimental, devastating thing about what she ended up pushing with AB5, it's like you have people who do writing for a bunch of different outlets, right?

Okay. Someone might be like, I write about food for food.food. I write about news for news.news. And I write about sports for sports.sports. So you've got three clients that you, that you work for. Okay. Like basically it's like you're a fruit vendor and every day you have a company who says, I will buy a satchel of, you know, oranges. And then another guy buys apples and the guy buys mangoes because of this bill. They've basically said you can no longer deliver

these products to your, your customers. So like, what's, what do you, what do you do? Do you like form an LLC then? And now you're officially a company providing deliverables. They've basically just said, let's say you have three different websites you write for. And a lot of people did, had multiple sites they were writing for. They all got their contracts severed because of this lady. So then what's the point? Now I have to beg one of those companies to hire me and my company gets shut down? That's insane. That's empowering the big corporations, empowering venture capital, and empowering big corrupt unions.

It seems to be the way everything's moving. Just Walmart is taking over everything. Oh, yeah, dude. I mean, Amazon. Talking about the lockdown and what Tesla's doing, we are seeing a bunch of small shops now defy the orders and like F you, basically. Yeah. Because a local, you know, like a local shoe store can't be open.

Walmart, no problem. Walmart sells shoes. Yeah. Gardening supplies, closed. Walmart, open. So there was like a weird loophole where it's like, if you sell booze, you can stay open. So you're like, if you're a gardening shop, make sure you get a liquor license and sell a small case of beer. That way you can't get shut down ever again. It doesn't make sense. But the bigger issue is that big box stores, major corporations were basically immune. So all these lockdowns did

was empower massive conglomerates. Yeah. I'm sure they made a killing, man. Well, they're losing a lot of money, but it's like they're not sinking. Every single time I went into any store over the past two months, it was like Sam's Club or Walmart. I mean, those are the few places that were open. Mad people, full carts. Every single person I saw was just packed a packed cart well because you can't go anywhere else anymore exactly so it used to be like yeah i'll go to walmart pick up some paper towels bread milk and eggs right yeah now i'm gonna go there

and get shoes a new tv so i'll control it for my playstation so game stops out yeah they're already struggling i mean i don't but they're big too game stop was actually still around anyway yeah because we just order stuff. Order Best Buy. I just download my games. But it's the small businesses. Yeah. You know, the, you know, people who did specialty jobs.

That's what we're seeing. It's the weirdest thing to see this like a tribal issue where it's like, we want to destroy small business and we want everyone to work for someone else. That's the craziest thing. Yeah. I don't get that. If you run your own company, you're fine. Well, let's get, let's, let's, let's get over to the next bit where it gets even crazier

talking about the lockdown orders and all that stuff. We have this tweet from Bill Malou Malougan. The L.A. County sheriff says video surveillance shows inmates at a jail in in Castaic sharing a water bottle, then rubbing the same mask on their faces to purposefully infect themselves with covet 19 oh my because they thought it would force their release 21 end up infected well they got what they wanted now could you imagine if they actually arrested elon musk yeah they're not gonna do it but you know they're out there thinking like some people want to well there was there was one person that tweeted like i'm serious there was one one person tweeted like i agree

arrest elon musk it's like a weird tribal thing wow yeah they're not going to but they did arrest that salon owner in dallas yeah and then they forced them to let her go intervention from conservatives got her out you know people she made like 500 grand on a go fund me or something good for her yeah yeah great great so at the same time what did she was a boss i gotta just say she was a boss to that judge but think about how insane this is dallas released like a thousand county jail inmates insane because it was dallas that she got arrested same so we talked about this before what is going on same. So we talked about this before. What is going on? The last time we talked about this, I was like, I don't think it's the same jurisdiction. Let's be fair.

No, it was. It was. Dallas released like a thousand jail inmates and then put her in. That is embarrassing. That's insanity. Yeah, all right. That's probably a better word. Now look what they're doing.

Oh my goodness. They're purposefully trying to get COVID because they know they're going to get let go. Check out this story. California Sheriff says inmates tried to infect themselves with coronavirus. Two groups of inmates at a Los Angeles County jail. This is a different story, right? No, no, this is LA. Okay, I think this is LA, right?

Same story? I think so. They tried to infect themselves by sharing water and a mask. Okay. And within two weeks, 30 prisoners tested positive. Sheriff Alex Villanueva at a briefing showed surveillance videos from two dormitory units at the North County Correctional Facility in Castaic. Yeah, okay. It's the same place.

The footage captured inmates in one unit sharing a container of hot water and others in a second unit sniffing a mask. So gross. Let me sniff that mask, bro. Hey, man. You got mask? I got mask. got mask covid positive i'd like to go home look it up let me sniff that mask yeah my goodness the footage captures

inmates in one unit sharing a container over that the sheriff said the inmates used hot water to try to raise their temperatures just before a nurse checked them and elevated temperature is a symptom for coronavirus villanueva said the inmates mistakenly believed that if they were infected, they would be freed. It's dismaying and it's disheartening. None of the 30 inmates required critical care when they were sick, though some had moderate symptoms, said Bruce Chase, the department's assistant sheriff of custody operations. No prisoners within the county's jail system, the largest in the country, have died from the virus. Jails and prisons nationwide have become flashpoints. More than 25,000 inmates have been infected and about 350 have died nationwide from Rikers Island in New York to federal, state, and local lockups coast to coast,

according to an unofficial tally kept by the COVID-19 Behind Bars data project run by UCLA Law. In California, five inmates in a state prison in San Bernardino have died from COVID complications and outbreaks. So we got this. They say in LA County in mid-April, the North County Correctional Facility didn't have a single case. Days later, nine inmates were flagged as being potentially sick. I don't know if California has actually ended up releasing anybody. So I'll wrap this one up. They say for most people, the coronavirus cases are mild or moderate. We know this. Fever, cough, yada, yada. For some, it's all there.

Okay, we get it. So the inmates think they're going to get released. Yeah, because this is California. They're not letting you go. Yeah, not in California. It's not Texas or New York, right? Why would Texas let people go? I don't know.

You'd think Texas is the place where they're like, son, you got COVID, so we're giving you the chair. Yeah, just line them're giving you the chair. The last, yeah. Just line them up. Pull the lever. Crank them in, crank them out. Do they still hang people? Everybody hold hands. Do they still hang people in Texas?

Maybe in Texas. I don't know. I don't think so. What? No. But they definitely have a death penalty there. Yeah, Texas? Yeah.

They haven't hung people for years. I thought there was a state that just got rid of it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that there was a state that still hanged people. What? No. I swear. Can you look it up? I'm looking it up right now.

I was kidding about Texas. We love Texas. But Texas, you'd think, would be substantially more brutal in terms of keeping people locked up, not letting them go, and then arresting a salon owner. That's nuts. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. But it gets better. It gets better.

Well, we've got to set examples for those salon owners that think they can open up. How dare they? We've got to set that example, man. Or you also had in Texas, I mean, you do have some hardcore people, those dudes showing up with rifles at the bar, Big Daddy Zanes or whatever. Oh, right, Big Daddy Zanes. whatever? Big Daddy Zanes, right.

And then the police end out that big bear cat or whatever it's called. Things are getting spicy, man. This is nuts. What are they doing? Check out this story, though. Yeah. Prisoner released from facilities to limit COVID-19 spread, arrested again for crimes.

Now, this is Everett, Washington. Oh, my goodness. They say, Commie Borg is a business owner in Everett, and she knew this was inevitable. It puts everybody at risk. He could have broken into our store.

Instead, police say Matthew Crewson raged on a Thai restaurant across the street on Broadway, amped up on methamphetamines, using a crowbar to smash the wooden boards. I'm sure glad

they released this man from jail. Oh, me too. Let me ask you something. Listen. We do have an ethical conundrum here. What are the moral constraints of a society when it comes to locking someone up where they could potentially be infected with a deadly disease? Like, is that ethical? Is that moral? Is that

constitutional? It might border on cruel, unusual punishment. Yeah. Telling someone straight up, I know that you mugged that old woman and you're getting a year in jail. Also, there's a viral contagion with a moderate mortality rate according to estimates that could mess you up. Do we as a society have a right to put someone in that position? That's a tough question, man.

I don't know. That's why I understand and lean towards letting people out, but they got to do better vetting. Like this guy, what's the first thing he does? He takes a bunch of meth and then goes and smashes windows with a crowbar or something. But how many times have we read stories

like this? This is like, what, the fourth or fifth? All I can think of is the birdshot, buckshot, birdshot, buckshot. Oh, Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle. He's on meth, oh no! He gets up. He's on math. Oh, no. Yeah. He gets up. He's unfazed. That was awesome.

That was awesome. But think about what's, like, all of a sudden it's happening. And now it's like, okay, we're going to arrest Elon. We're going to release criminals. We're going to let everybody go. I think this is a major catalyst for the Boogaloo, man. I think so, too. The Boogaloo.

It's funny. Vice wrote about the Boogaloo Boys. The Boogaloo Boys. The Boogaloo. It's funny. Vice wrote about the Boogaloo Boys. The Boogaloo Boys. The Boogaloo Movement. It's like, calm down, Vice. You're looking for everything everywhere. I do think we're dangerously close to a civil war. I don't know.

I don't know what that means, right? I could just be a little excited. I've been saying this for a while now. A little? But I haven't been wrong. A little fear-mongering? No. No?

No, no, no, no no no no so unlike you fear-mongering would be me lying and trying to claim something so that i could drum up clicks or something okay me telling you my legit opinion on what's been going on over the past several years and where we at today okay that's not fear-mongering sure some people will say it is for sure criticize me but i'm being completely legit when i'm asking these questions yeah because listen a bunch of dudes showed up to a grocery store they're wearing masks they have body armor they have rifles totally legal totally legal then you had a bunch of people show up to this bar that was defying the governor orders the governor's orders and then the bearcat comes out technically still totally legal right because inside the store

right it's not even that the governor doesn't have the right to decree that you can't right you know uh do these things it's like now now when it comes to business licenses there's an argument there but we're still getting dangerously close then you look at prisons letting people out judges telling them when you have to apologize to me apologize now or else and she was was like, no. But I'm not even. I applaud that woman, by the way. Yeah, seriously. Liberty. When I heard her say that, I was like, oh, yes. But here's the important bit.

The Supreme Court of Texas overturned it, meaning we were always on the side of the law when we said she should not submit and apologize. Right. And the Supreme Court overruled the lower court. So we and everybody who said this woman was doing the right thing was correct. The scary thing is you can get banned from social media because, you know, they don't care. It's like, oh, you can't say these things. But I'll tell you what right now.

We won't get super political, but I got I'm going to throw Obamagate into the mix on this one. Oh man, Obamagate. Obamagate. And then we'll come, we'll bring it back to the on the ground stuff and the Boogaloo stuff. Listen, man. Right now you've got Donald Trump tweeting at Obamagate. Obamagate. And then we'll come. You heard him say it. We'll bring it back to the on the ground stuff and the Boogaloo stuff. Listen, man. Right now, you've got Donald Trump tweeting at Obamagate the implication that Obama directed or was involved in false charges brought against Trump administration to sabotage his administration as he was coming into power. It seems like it.

But it's beyond that. There's a lot of insinuations about, you know, was the previous administration involved in trying to sabotage the campaign of Trump to help Hillary win? Beyond that, why do we go through years of this conspiracy theory stuff? Yeah. So we don't need to get too much into that because, you know, I want to keep it to the on the ground stuff. But this is where it brings us today. documents being released from, you know, the attorney general and, you know, classified documents and conservatives are pretty much on board with, it looks like there's something dirty here from the Obama administration for sure. At the very least Obama knew, and we don't know how he knew this stuff was going on. And it was, it's like, it's crazy. The FBI went after Michael

Flynn's kid. They had no justification for investigating him in the first place. They took one casual statement he made and claimed it was a lie during an investigation and used that to prosecute him. So all this is overturned. You have two factions right now. You have the left that believes Donald Trump is subverting the rule of law. Okay. And that he's a mobster getting all his buddies off the hook for crimes they committed.

Then you have another faction that believes the Obama administration and the FBI were falsely laying charges to sabotage Trump's administration. And now finally, Trump is on the counteroffensive, weeding out the corrupt. It doesn't matter what you think is right. The fact is they exist. So what happens when Trump gets reelected or what happens when this goes, when stuff like this starts happening? So to bring it back to the on the ground stuff you have in the debate about whether or not to reopen or stay closed. Tribalism. The left doesn't care about the science. They don't care about the facts.

They don't care about the studies. They don't care about the UN. They don't care about the starvation. They're saying shut up and shut down, period. Yep. That's scary. It's true. So what?

So it is. It's spreading people into two factions like open up or not to open up. I think the objective, the objective reality is that we can see real wrongdoing on the part of these FBI agents. Yep, definitely. Obama knew. We'll see how far that goes. I'm not going to make.

I know a lot of people did a lot of research in this. We'll make more definitive claims about the Obama administration. But it stands to reason that right now the evidence shows the right is, it's like correct leans in their direction, especially when you look at what's going on with the lockdown is where things get crazy. First of all, governors don't have the right to decree that you can't protest. Ridiculous. Bill de Blasio has no right to decree that you can't protest.

So the left is already in the wrong on this one. Absolutely. UN says starvation is coming. We got to reopen. What does the left say? People want haircuts. Just not true. That's not what people are protesting for.

Some people for sure, but to highlight the one person under the hundreds of thousands. Yeah, it makes no sense. We're seeing surfers in California and Hawaii be like, no way, dude. Insane lies from people that the virus is vaporized in the ocean shore and it'll get you sick if you go near it. It's nuts. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. But then they come out and they argue that the right is anti science and elon musk is anti-science they arbitrarily say elon musk can't reopen wait

the right says that the left oh okay yeah yeah so the right i was like did i say the right yeah i was like what the left is arguing that like you you know you can't reopen or whatever yeah it's stupid so if you look at what's actually going on with the data that we have we have four or five studies now saying the mortality rate is very very very low and we there there's substantially more people who have had this we've had local doctors come out get their videos deleted from youtube yep for for calling this out yep the un says if we don't reopen 130 million we'll starve i think at the very least we can say we get it it's serious yeah people are gonna lose their lives right more people are gonna lose their lives because the economy is collapsing exactly we've got to get things going again so people can get food and get they don't they don't

care yeah people can go out just wear masks wash your hands social distance we can do this people aren't idiots we can we can make it happen people well it reminds me of that men in black comment right a person is smart okay people are dumb panicky you know dangerous animals dangerous animals that was the quote yeah i love that yeah it's a good quote but an individual who doesn't want to get sick right right if if you want to go to walmart you see someone not wearing a mask you avoid them that's true you walk away you wear gloves you sanitize your hands don't touch your face there are ways you could protect yourself. But we also know the data has shown going outside is actually better. 66% of people who have gotten sick were staying home.

I think this was in New York. Showing that the people who are going out consistently were less likely to get sick. So the lockdown may have failed. Something happened? Yeah, I don't know what that was. It was a ghost. The lockdown may have may have been substantially uh may have hurt us more so so we have all this data now it's time to reassess what do we get

yep tribalism saying no so i just think about what happens come november vegas odds have trump to win the polls had biden to win but they're dropping this is crazy it was a really funny tweet i saw where um a bunch of b of Bernie supporters were laughing when the polls came that Trump was now beating Biden in a bunch of key states. Yeah. So it's like, what happens when you have all of this, all of these people who arbitrarily want the lockdowns to continue, jokingly saying, fine, go and arrest Elon Musk, attacking Elon Musk, even though he's completely in the right.

Yeah. And then Trump wins again. Do these people just say like, well, gosh, darn it, we lost. Musk attacking Elon Musk, even though he's completely in the right. Yeah. And then Trump wins again. Do these people just say like, well, gosh, darn it, we lost. I guess we'll just carry on with our lives. I don't know. It feels like they're becoming a minority. Like, I don't know anybody like that anymore.

And all my friends who used to like Bernie don't really follow Bernie anymore. They're becoming more, I say conservative, but they're not conservative. But they sure don't associate follow Bernie anymore. They're becoming more, I say conservative, but they're not conservative, but they sure don't associate with Democrats anymore, the left side. And that's everybody I know. Maybe then what we're really seeing is like the last remnants of the Democratic establishment collapsing. See, that makes more sense to me.

I don't think it's going to be a boogaloo. It's going to be people are like, oh, wait, we all feel the same way? All right. All right, good. Well, the few that thought they had a huge voice and a huge backing, they're like suddenly there's no one behind them and they're just standing by themselves. It's the Internet. You know, yes. But I think maybe one of the ways to look at it is the trump defeated the republican

establishment okay crushed them they're gone they've either fallen in line with trump or they've retired and they're gone they did it to themselves more what do you mean the democrats no the republicans defeated the republican establishment oh okay yeah in 2015 2016 when he won right right right shut him out and then you had the never Trump or Republicans go, oh, harumph. Oh, no, we'll resist. And then they join the Democrats. But now you have that last vestige of the establishment collapsing. You've got the leftist populists mocking them and laughing as they wither. And the same thing from the right wing populists. Like the elite establishment is gone. It's true. So maybe.'s that's a good point i think about it maybe there won't be a boogaloo because what we're really seeing is the vocal the the last remnants of a vocal minority all right shrinking into into nothingness yep that's what i that's what i see yeah yeah for the for the record he agreed with me yeah that's kind of an interesting take everyone loves calling out the other way

but see there are some times maybe there will be no boogaloo I don't think there's going to be a boogaloo it is fun to say though boogaloo it's from an 80's movie how did it become the word for civil war it sounds like a really cool cat's name

oh that's boogaloo he's cool that is a good name for that's Boogaloo. He's cool. He's cool. That is a good name for a cat. Yeah, I like that. Boogaloo. Start calling him that. You're welcome. Yeah, Trump wants to reopen.

Barr is going to the states for the lockdowns. I don't think people come November are going to blame Trump for this once the Democratic governors who are insisting we stay shut down and people are complaining. And the Republican governors are the opposite. Like, yeah, let's keep open. Let's open everything. It's such a weird world, man. It's weird, yeah.

Like we mentioned several times, Gallup polls showing Republicans in Congress have higher favorability now for the first time in like 20 or 30 years. That's crazy. I try telling people, you know, it's like they want to accuse me of being biased. And I'm like, I think you just don't see what's really going on. Yeah. Give it time. Give it time. Give it time, Yeah. When I said all the things I said two years ago, right. What happens two years later? Gallup poll comes out saying Republicans have a higher favorability. Why? It's not because I'm making things up or lying to protect the right. It's

that the right was was correct about what they were doing. Yeah. And the American people responded positively to it. And so then I was like, see see i wasn't wrong there you know donald trump's approval rating is higher than it's ever been on average it's it's gone down a bit from its highest point but it's still higher than it's been on average yeah his favorability is up new york times says my opinion of him has certainly raised up higher you know what it is? I got to tell you, man, the more they lie, the more they get caught lying, the more anger I have for everything the media, the Democrats, the cronies have done. And I can feel it. You know, when you go to that voting booth and you want to just stick it to the man by slamming down that Donald Trump lever. Yeah, Dude, Chuck Todd, he's MSNBC, right?

Meet the Press? Oh, yeah. He put out a clip out of context and got called out immediately for it. They used to think they could get away with this. They played a clip of Bill Barr, the attorney general, making it seem like he was gloating that nothing, like, ha ha ha, we're the winners, so we can do whatever we want. Okay.

Basically, he was asked about dropping the charges against Flynn, Michael Flynn, and he said, well, you know, history is written by the winners. Oh, okay. But he said, I think history will shine favorably, showing us we followed the rule of law. They cut the last part out, so it's him laughing, going like, history is written by the winners, like making it seem like. Yeah. They used to do this stuff.

And no one was for it. They were like, this is BS. Yeah, and they had to apologize. Shut your mouth. one no one was for it they were like this is bs yeah and they had to apologize shut your mouth yep that's how bad it was good like everyone called him out the doj called him out i love it yeah i think it was really stark because uh chuck todd went on to say well he didn't say anything about following the rule of law or having any kind of compassion and then somebody showed the full clip and it was like yeah that's exactly what he said next exactly what he said knew it yeah so here's here's what i here's what i see man i see these these pundits on twitter and they put out their like it just it just insults all day it's like the you'll see if you'll see a comment from a trump personality or from uh the president and

they'll say he's stupid he's ridiculous he's a criminal he's crook he's corrupt i'm like these aren't ideas it's just you're just it's just saying your opinion and that's news but the lies man the media lies yeah makes me angrier and angrier and boy do i not not want them to get away with all the deception and the deceit and the lies and it's really frustrating too man when i see my friends go on like Instagram and post stuff about how, you know, we must remain locked down. Like the economy is like, people are so dumb. They want to save the economy. How dumb are they? They just want to make rich people, you know, get richer. And I'm like, it's like, no, that's happening already. Right. It's like, what? Yeah. It's the

small businesses that are going under now exactly so that these like they and the supply chain right well how do how do you talk to these people man i i don't know they have a set mindset and it's like they're they're getting triggered in any other sense and they just go emotional so all the logic goes out the window you can't you can't talk to people like that so i have friends posting on Instagram and Facebook and stuff where they're like, these heartless conservatives want people to get sick and die like Elon Musk. And I'm like, what do I say over Facebook to this person I've known for years?

To let them know, I sent a message to a friend of mine. It was like a high profile individual who was saying like no to reopening the economy. Okay. And I was like, the UN says 130 million people will starve. Should we just let those people die? Yeah. No response. Just ignore it.

Yeah, because it goes against what they believe. So they're triggered and get emotional and can't. You're just an enemy to them now. Is it is it possible that what's happening, you know, so I've always been, like both of us, well, all three of us, we're like calm, rational, logical people. And so we're driven away from these hyperbolic, emotional, like pointless reactions. Agreed. Yeah, I definitely am. So is the right becoming a more calm and logical place still with its emotional reactions for sure. And is the left becoming a haven for the people who just react emotionally?

I can't speak for the right because I feel like I'm still in the center. And that's where I, I mean, because I agree with both sides. I disagree with both sides. So I think far left are crazy people that I don't associate with at all. But here's what I mean. Okay. You are moderate, probably left. Well, actually, you took the compass test. You're a liberal. I am on the left. And so here you are talking about close to center, though. Right, right, right. That's normal. That's

where like liberals have usually been. So what I kind of think might be happening is when someone like you or me sees a conservative or liberal on Twitter and the liberal on Twitter, and the liberal is yelling re, and the conservative is saying, I humbly disagree. Right. Which one do we trust? And here are my reasons. Right. Right, exactly. I mean, when you put it that way, that's absolutely the person I would side with.

So then my question is, over time, will we end up seeing the right, I'm doing air quotes as to whatever the right is, be a bunch of people calmly sipping their tea and saying, well, dare I say, good sir, my question about the economy has to do, and then, you know, Peter Jordan said, well, let me tell you about what I think, and then Joe Rogan's like, that's crazy, I never thought about that. And on the left, it's reee! To be less silly.

That was a very good re, by the way. That was excellent. Yeah, I like that. Quality. I had to try and tone it down because I didn't want to scream. I know, it was good, though. Thank you. I guess the point I'm trying to make is, if

people who have emotional reactions and don't care to do research are manipulated into believing all this fake stuff, then the left will just be people who are all waving their arms and going, while the people on the right are going to include moderates, liberals, conservatives, libertarians,

all being the right and having a wide range of views but having a conversation about that's kind of what i was saying earlier where it feels like those people on the left that are reeling are just slowly fading away because they're becoming more and more in a spotlight for one people that that girl who screams no when trump won yeah she's now a forever mean of just and who wants to be that who wants to be that person everyone's like wow that person's ridiculous look how emotional that person is and it's like yeah or you could you know get political and try to make a difference

instead of just standing there screaming no doing absolutely nothing the re thing is is an exact i'm exaggerating a bit right to be fair right i'll put it this way. I have a friend with hundreds of thousands of followers who makes a post saying, we can't reopen the economy. All it will do is make the billionaires wealthier and it'll sacrifice the poor people. And so there's no logic there. There's no real understanding of how the economy works.

Complete disregard for the science and the economics of it. And we're not backing it up, I'm assuming. No, just saying. Just saying. Just saying the government should just give us money and waive rent that's what they said to me and so when i respond with how how will these companies pay their employees if you don't pay the rent like the landlord isn't some guy like in a castle with a crown right it's a dude in an office who's like i've got a bunch of properties yeah i gotta pay you know here's my mortgage here's my interest here's my bills Here's my mortgage. Here's my interest.

Here's my bills. Here's my groundskeeper. Here's my staff. Here's my electrician. Here's my repairman. Here's my, you know, the delivery guy. How will all those people get paid if you say you shouldn't pay rent? Well, the government should pay it.

Okay. Where does the government get the money? They just print it. Yeah. Okay. So my question is like, your reaction has no basis in reality. You've done no research. You've read no news stories. You have reckless disregard for those who would starve to death. Is that what

the left has become? Letting people starve to death is basically like letting the poor die. And that was their argument to keep it closed, wasn't it? Exactly. The small businesses are collapsing. Wait, what? The small businesses are collapsing, not the corporate enterprise. Right. The billionaires are making money. They're simultaneously. The billionaires are fine right now. Yeah. They're not worried.

That Robert Reich guy or whatever his name is. Is that his name? Robert Reich or something? Robert Reich. I haven't. I'm not familiar. Sorry. Elon Musk tweeted that he was boring and stupid or something. Oh, shoot.

He tweets out like billionaires added, you know, $200 billion to their wealth during the lockdown while poor people are suffering. He's like, the poor people are suffering because you've shut their businesses down. Yeah, exactly. You don't understand. So it's like. And they lost all their jobs, even if they weren't their own business. Now they have no jobs. Their strenuous life, the line that they were riding, now it's all crumbled away.

So how do you talk to them? What do we do? Yeah. You know what, man? It's crazy because I've always been really good at communications. Like I did fundraising for nonprofits, literally communicating with the public to convince them. And I'm at a loss for how we deal with these people. It's like, how do you deal with someone who says,

I believe in science. And then when you go, here's a study saying people are dying and starving to death and the mortality rate is low. And they go, no. And they throw it in the garbage. They don't want that study. Yep. That challenges my belief system.

So I'm not going to listen to that or believe it. That's what they do. Yep. They're like, nope, I'm good. I don't have to agree with you or argue with you because you challenge what I believe. That's scary. So I'm just going to go the other way and ignore you forever. Block.

It's like, what? You know what the crazy thing about it is? When I was growing up, it was the religious people who behaved more that way. Yeah. Like, I'm right. I don't care. This is what's true yeah and now it's all of a sudden you have like there i was talking to people about this you know notably ben shapiro's philosophy because he's he's very religious orthodox jew but he's libertarian so it's like he his his his his idea is kind of like i'll mind my own business and practice my religion how I want to. I like that.

But now it's like, it's the flippening. It's probably why the conservatives have a higher approval rating in Congress. Something switched. The left started, you know what I was thinking? Maybe it might be that it works this way with trends too and cultures. So you have the left of like 10 years ago. You got Jon Stewart. Right.

Funny guy. Honest guy. Great guy. He called out Joe Biden. The audacity of grope. Uncritically showing Project Veritas, like legitimately showing Project Veritas and praising the work they did. Yeah. Even though Veritas, you know, is, you know, right leaning or whatever people want to accuse them of.

Yeah. Today it's all like attacks and smears. But here's what I think happens. You have someone like Jon Stewart and you have a left that actually has thought leaders comedians funny people and so all the cool kids are involved i miss those days but so so the left was cool yeah you know john stewart was leading the charge in like a comedic way to deliver the news to people yeah he was great it was clever too because people didn't care about the news and he found a way to get people to care and it was funny and it was cultural yeah what people didn't care about the news and he found a way to get people to care and it was funny and it was cultural yeah what do we get after john stewart

samantha b john oliver trevor noah that's just fake it's it's them lying and making stuff up john stewart was legit so here's what i think happens the cool people you know the skateboarders for instance okay were on the left because the left was being rational and honest. When the left stopped being rational and honest, started attacking the thought leaders and the thought leaders started leaving. We lost George Carlin, you know, 12 years ago. Yeah, that was a huge hit for what those saying left was. Yeah. Jon Stewart retires.

Now the cool people are watching the re people shrieking and cancel culture. And so they're more attracted to the right, which is fun and memes, leaving all of the, like a leaderless movement, essentially. The left has become emotional, reactive, and leaderless. No high profile. I mean, look at Joe Rogan, for instance. He says he'd rather vote for, he wanted to vote for Bernie. Then he says he'd rather vote for Trump. But they call

him alt-right and all this other weird stuff. Of course. So it's like, if Joe Rogan, who is a lefty, pot-smoking... You say they, but that group feels so small now. They're just a small group of people. That's what it feels like to me. They're just screaming and they have a platform to scream on, which is Twitter and mainstream media even.

It's like they're all over there. But the social media companies protect them and ban everyone else. I know. It's not going to last very long. But it's because they were always default. Yeah. Like, Jon Stewart was cool and valuable. HBO, all these things.

And so the big companies are late to the party. They don't realize that, you know, the ad dollars are propping up things people don't like. You know, hey, maybe we're crazy. Maybe we're wrong. It's going to crumble eventually, though. Maybe people like being ignorant. Plus, maybe we're the minority. I think that's the real boogaloo that's going to happen.

It's just going to be a battle between those two forces, but they're going to be smushed. The majority, as far as what I believe, is people in the middle and on the right looking at the left like, wow, they're really crazy now now this is why they hate YouTube on YouTube when they put up one of these stupid social justice commercials yeah obliterated yeah they disabled the comments they disabled the like and dislike ratio of that that's hilarious and then eventually just delete the video but but think about what reddit does reddit banning. The moderators will ban a conservative post or a moderate post.

And so what ends up happening is Reddit. So this is the way I was explaining it earlier. If you have 100 people, 50 conservative, 50 liberal, that means there's a good civil war between ideas. It's like I might say like, I like oatmeal cookies. No, chocolate chip is better. And someone says snickerdoodle. And sometimes you'll see a snickerdoodle post or chocolate chip post or an oatmeal cookie post okay but then reddit says we don't like oatmeal cookies because sometimes raisins are in them so we're going to ban anyone

who posts oatmeal cookies that's a shame i love all of a sudden the oatmeal cookie people start leaving yeah because they're like we don't get to hear about oatmeal cookies anymore yeah and then all of a sudden chocolate chip just starts skyrocketing and now there's no way to ever get a post upvoted that's about oatmeal cookies because they started removing posts so reddit becomes hyper polarized and people get washed into that insanity oatmeal gate so so anyway the point is you say like they might get trust them they crushed they might be small but the institutions are propping them up like no one in their right mind no no sane reasonable person thinks joe

biden can be president but they're losing their power like reddit is losing their power i feel i mean kind of i think it is i think their ranking has been dropping a little bit that doesn't this doesn't surprise me and i'm sure the same is for youtube like who knows like bit shoots now around mines is out like i don't know if there's going to be a competitor. People have asked you. And I know it's because YouTube sets up all the different things into one spot. So it's hard. And they can easily

probably put someone down if they're going somewhere else. It's only a matter of time. Twitter, same thing. I think they attacked YouTube so hard. Because with YouTube, people who, if you click the video and then you watch for a long time, YouTube recommends it more. Okay.

It wasn't about an arbitrary group of moderators deleting stuff. Yeah. So this allowed content that people actually like to start doing really, really well. And there's been a massive spike in conservative content. At least they call it conservative. What I really think it is, it's the culture war right right i don't think it means right wing or left wing and it's more just not left right would be more exactly right yeah because in the in the rankings they consider my content conservative when i made i made a video i'm like the death penalty should be opposed by

all measures like at all costs and i had a bunch of conservatives argue with me like I disagree. And I'm like, well, I oppose the death penalty. It's not a conservative opinion for the most part. I say for the most part because it's a particularly libertarian position. But it's like I can say my position and my politics, which are clearly liberal left-leaning, as are yours. But because we'll rag on the left, they say we must be right. So this kind of content is skyrocketing. These social justice racist commercials are getting attacked left and right.

Yeah. But then, you know, it's almost like venture capitalists and advertising agencies are trapped 10 years ago when they thought the left was hit. Yeah. I'll tell you what, man. Yeah, that's it. You're right. I have rock stars. I say rock stars, but, like, very famous musicians.

Really? Who hit me up. Oh. And, like, will be like, yo, bro, I saw your video, man. And they'll say, like, here's what I was thinking. COVID. Pro skateboarders. I want to jam with these people.

I want to skate with those people. Dude. COVID. The craziest thing to me, I've said this before, but it bears repeating in the context of this video. When I got hit up by some of these pro skateboarders. Yeah. Like, dude, skateboarders trespass. They break the rules.

They care for no laws. They're anarchists, like libertarian. And they were hitting me up being like, I agree 100%. Like, this is nuts. Dude, you know what it is? I think skateboarders really, not for the most part part because a lot are probably just not paying attention but at the core like these authoritarian leftists and the weird social justice stuff it's fake social justice it's authoritarian and it's the antithesis of skateboarding yeah skateboarding is all about you conquering by yourself like a skateboarder

will tell you hey man you got to do it you got to drop in no one's going to drop in for you yep that's the antithesis of what they say it's true like you need to you need no someone has to drop in for you because of your privilege it's not fair or something you're too tall you're a man you're a woman whatever so i started getting hit up by skateboarders telling me they agreed and stuff and i'm like some people that i've known since i was a kid and looked up to i was like wow man like these people are hippies like these are the leftists who are like chilling, smoking pot in the beach, arguing against the Democrats right now. That to me is like, I think I think these marketing companies still just assume the left is cool. Right.

I'll tell you what, man. Side note. And then figure it out. They'll follow the money. Well, actually, we should we should jump to the skateboarding segment in this in this, you in this but I'll make one more quick comment there was a post on reddit about it was like F the alt right

or something like it's a subreddit dedicated to ragging on the alt right which basically doesn't exist anymore like as a movement like it's been wiped out by social media but it was a picture of Desmond the 11 year old drag queen are you familiar with the Desmond story? I don't think so.

11-year-old boy ripping off their clothes on stage for money as adult men throw money at him. Okay, I've heard about this, but I never saw the video. Was it really cringe? It's horrifying. Sounds terrible. I don't want to get too into detail, but it's a little boy pulling off his clothes on stage. He's wearing clothes underneath, multiple layers. Okay.

And then men throw dollars at him. I asked some people I know who have familiarity with the gentleman club enterprises, strippers. I know some strippers. And I asked them. Sure. And they told me that was stripping they said that what people don't realize yeah about stripping is that a lot of strip clubs don't allow full nudity yeah so so the women wear they wear like sports bras and sports running shorts and when

they strip they're still fully clothed underneath okay and so i was specifically told about that video they're like oh yeah like in south dak Dakota, 100%, that's legit stripping. Like, that would be considered stripping to any stripper in, like, these areas and these jurisdictions. So is this, who's okay with this video? Like, how? The tribal left. So this is the point I was getting to.

Like, where I think things might be starting to break, maybe, is that somebody was attacking the alt-right, posted the picture, and said something like, right-wingers keep trying to post this to attack this poor child or something and then i looked at the comments and the comments were all like uh no i kind of agree that's messed up like what the like oh my like is this kid dance what is this yeah like people actually saw it and they were like what like this is messed up stuff put it on tv though a like like, I don't know which channels I'm going to call them out and get in trouble, but a bunch of channels are, like, praising this and cheering for it. Yeah, dude, it's getting nuts out there, man. My goodness.

So, yeah, I just bring it up as the last bit of, like, it's one of the more extreme instances. But we do have an interesting story that I want to get controversial for everybody. So I hope you all are ready. This is from Slate. Anti-LGBTQ firm tries to disqualify judge because he won't let it misgender trans kids.

The story's not true. It's not? Technically it's not true. So this is where things start getting really weird. You read a little bit about like the trans athlete stuff, right? Yeah. Like, basically, they're saying

if you're biologically male but identify as female, you can compete against women. Right, which I don't agree with. Here's what happened first. At first, they said, woman and man are words for gender, which is a social construct.

Okay. So, if you identify as a woman, you can be a woman because it's just a social construct. So if you identify as a woman, you can be a woman because it's just a social construct. Male and female are biology. That's what they said first a few years ago. So they were like, we get it, we get it. Male means you were born with, you know, XY

and female means XX. And then there's intersex and things in between. Over time, they've been erasing that entirely and completely arguing that there's no such thing as biological sex. And it's funny because I tell people this and they say, that's not true. No one's saying that. Nicholas Matt, a professor from Toronto on public access television in a debate with Jordan Peterson said several years ago, it is not correct that there is a such thing as biological sex. Normally I like pulling it up to prove it to people. Yeah. No, I actually saw that.

I've seen that. So that's where we're at. No, I actually saw that. Right. I've seen that. So that's where we're at. So here's the real story. There's biological males that have taken no hormones, undergone no treatments. Yeah. And they're racing against biological females. It's ridiculous. And they're winning every time.

What a surprise. And shattering records. Sure. So some young women sued, some young females sued. In the case, the attorney was on a conference call with the judge and the judge said, you cannot, my order is that you cannot refer to these athletes, the males, as male. You must call them transgender female. Think about what that means in a court argument. Your Honor, I believe these females should not be allowed to compete against these females because these females have a direct advantage based on their female anatomy.

Well, you'd have to say these transgender females against these females. They're not transgender females, though. But that's, oh, I thought that's not the order. The judge is wrong. Oh, okay. So a male who is transgender. Right. To be woman.

A transgender woman means you are a male who is transgender right to be woman a transgender woman means you are a trans you are a male you're not born a woman right a male who is transgender right biologically male okay who is transgender okay is now a woman who wants to be a woman right or or identifies as potentially as a woman i don't know what they identify as okay the judge doesn't seem to understand but more importantly whether he understands or not, I'm sure people will argue what transgender female really means anyway. Of course they will. So this is where like it gets really, really crazy. Now you have these articles pop up. This is nuts. Like this article is an outright lie. How do we, how do, how do we actually deal with protecting the civil rights of individuals? So these, these women are suing basically saying it's discrimination based on their biological sex.

And the judge is saying, you can't say these words. I don't know. Pardon me. I mean, I follow Ariella. She was on the show. And she's a well-known lesbian who has a lot of trans friends. And I see her post things to communicate with others and ask questions to try to understand it. And so I'm following it.

And there's a lot of trans people who don't agree with this. They're like, yeah, it's not fair. I'm trans and I don't agree with this. And it's like, oh, that's interesting to know that not everyone, even the trans people, think it's fair. It just makes me think it's not even the trans people, think it's fair. It just makes me think it's not even the trans people who are even fighting anymore. It's media companies. It's the Karens. It's the people who are

offended for others. Like, oh no, that's offensive. I should fight for it. No, don't tell me that I'm not that. I don't care. I'm going to fight for it anyway. Let me be offended on your behalf. Yes, exactly. That's what really bothers me the most about these people is like that's what i think all of this stuff is when i was at

occupy wall street having these white progressives tell me yeah that i didn't understand racism i'm like bro like do i gotta say it i'm gonna say it my family's mixed race like how many times i got it's funny because people bring up they're like tim says mixed race all the time i'm like yeah because you don't get it man like when i'm trying to communicate effectively to a conservative i don't have to say i don't say it at all they don't care they literally don't it's not an issue for them but if i'm trying to make a video that will at least in some way speak to some of these progressives and liberals i have to say it otherwise they're like what do you know you're you're a white guy not even that like

half the time they call me hispanic right yeah they just it's it's it doesn't matter it's insane how bigoted these people have become while claiming like you know you know you know the perfect the perfect the perfect quote for this what is it um be careful when fighting monsters lest you become one for when you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back okay that perfectly explains these people. They started saying racism is bad. We're going to fight for it. And they became the overt racists.

Yeah. And now it's like, but it's not just about race. It's about the bigotry, right? They said, we're going to fight for the rights of minority groups. And they're literally taking away the right of females to have a competitive sport. Yeah. It's like all the fight that women have fought for for all these years, for everything.

Females. Sorry, females. Or whatever it is. It's like, eh, well, if a guy feels like he can do it better than you, I'm going to be a woman now and win. It's not even that. It's not even that, right?

I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than that. Yeah, so I'll be as fair as I can be. I'm sure there are some guys who are like, I'll just say I'm a woman and I'll get to compete. Hasn't that happened already? I mean, I don't know. Not proven, but it sure seems like it. It's dangerous territory because then you're claiming somebody is a... Maybe.

But the reason I'm careful on this is because we don't even need to go there. Okay. If somebody is born male and then says, I want to compete against females, it's like, I get it, but that's not fair. Exactly. That is not equality. It isn't. That is inequality. You are taking the rights away from them to have their specific division.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. And this is where we get to go a little scientific. Not really. It's anecdotal oh great so the olympics will allow um i believe the olympics in some capacity are going to allow males to compete in the women's divisions so long as their testosterone levels are at a certain level are like suppressed right okay pull up this story pull up the story lockdown Spurs 11 year old skateboarder to make make history with first 1080 degree turn Guy Curie lands Holy Grail of skate skate skating while in lockdown Brazilian

surpasses previous record first set by Tony Hawk 11 years old brutal Tony Hawk was what's amazing 30 32 30 when he did that? The 900? Yeah. What's Tony Hawk's birthday? Can you look up his birthday? I will look up his birthday. Yeah. Sometime in the 70s. Yeah.

I think he was like 30 or 32 or something. Maybe he was in his late 20s. Either way. Yeah. My point is obvious. He was born in 68. 68. Yeah, dude.

He was like 32. Wow. He was like 31 or 32 when he landed. His birthday is tomorrow. Oh, happy birthday, Tony. Happy birthday, Tony. Tony Hawk's awesome. I love watching his videos on instagram he's amazing yeah he is really great so now we're gonna get controversial because i'm sure we're gonna make much people angry oh yeah here's my question the first five four okay so for those that don't aren't familiar with skateboarding okay there we go uh each time the board rotates so that it's parallel is 180 degrees. So a half turn, full turn 360.

One and a half is 540. Two is 720. You get it. It's math. Tony Hawk in, I think it was 1999. Okay. Was it 99? I think so.

Maybe. He landed the first 900 degree spin. Yeah. Meaning he went up, spun two and a half times and came down. And it took him forever. It was outside of the rules of the event. He'd already gone over. But everyone's like, just do it took him forever it was outside of the rules of the event he'd already gone over but everyone's like just do it just do it man and it was so powerful that he got

all these crazy video game deals it sparked the tony hawk franchise yeah he made tons of money all skateboarding immediately became like a multi-billion dollar industry he revived the sport and culture with one move the 900 and now sunday 10th of may an 11 year old boy just spun one more time than he did yeah at like the height of 360 more oh no no no it was so what this kid did was he he went fakie which means you go backwards and he added a half turn. So it's incredible. Guy Curie skateboarding coming soon. I mean, this is... Yeah, right? A video game series.

So the first 1080 we ever saw was on the MegaRamp. Yeah, was Misho something? No, no, I think it was Tom Scharr? Mitchie Brusco? Yeah, Mitchie Brusco July 2011. Was it was it yeah that's the first 1080 so that was on a mega oh maybe he did the 1200 no no tom what was it last year tom shard to the 1260 i'm not sure oh my gosh these numbers someone did a crazy i think it was

1200 or something like they both did like crazy moves that's why i always mix them up yeah 1260 yeah and it was a huge deal but that's the mega ramp that's a really really I know that's where you get tons of speed this little kid on a standard halfpipe that's why it's record-breaking and it's breaking the new record it's huge here's why I bring us up in this context the first female 540 I think was like 2008 or 2009 or something okay the first male 540 was like the 70s yeah I don't know the disparity in skateboarding between men and women is is the biggest for any sport i've ever seen i don't know why don't ask me

but women definitely have been improving dramatically and there's some really really good female skaters well no you you explained it on we we talked about this before and you explained it perfectly it's the reason why is because there isn't as many women to compete against. So when a woman goes out there and they do a kickflip to 5-0 on a rail, it's like, oh, wow, that's the best trick done. So they don't have to raise the bar too high to win. So why would you? But it's not just that.

Here's the question I'm bringing up now where I'm going to get in trouble and we're going to get yelled at by YouTube. Sure. Why is it that a prepubescent 11-year-old boy, no puberty, was able to pull off a record-breaking historical move in skateboarding history? Where are the 11-year-old females doing the same thing? It's because prenatal testosterone plays a huge role. So my question is, if we're going to allow trans athletes, transgender people born male, to compete in the women's division, no matter what is done, no matter if they get their testosterone levels down, they will have an advantage, period.

100%. I agree. Like, dude, I've seen videos of six year old boys like doing crazy things yeah i've competed i'm not going to shout out some of these people some of them are pro now so i'll leave them to their own i'm not going to get them dragged into this but i've competed against some people who are like much much younger than me who absolutely destroyed me at my prime like little kids just so good i'm like this is nuts yeah i'm an adult man these kids are just wiping the floor with me in this contest but we don't see the same thing from from from you know eight-year-old girls or nine-year-old girls there have been some like pretty good moves from little

kids yeah you know younger females well i mean i i have to just bring in that the the whole societal impact of what a girl should be and what like girls dolls barbies like the whole thing like guys you know a boy sees skateboarders and there's not that many female skateboarders to look up to there's tony hawk is huge you know it's like you said it like 1999 skateboarding became a billion dollar industry you know so and that's a guy sport predominantly. So growing up, there's going to be more 11-year-old skateboarders, boy skateboarders making history over the girls. So that does come into play. I think, yes. But I think...

I mean, your point remains, though. He did it before puberty, still broke a record. That's insane. It's history, man. This is such a big... I agree. Like, when you look at Tony Hawk's career, landing the 900, how big it was. Yeah.

This 11-year-old kid just landed the 1080 on a standard halfpipe. Yeah. Now, he should do it in a contest. I mean, these kids are skating their whole lives. This kid definitely was born on a skateboard. I'm willing to put money on it. And he's Brazilian,zilian too so it's like you know brazilians for whatever reason brazilians are just like the best skateboarders

they're really good at skateboarding uh bob burnquist yep um he's great and and leticia buffoni basically like the best female skateboarder in the world amazing yeah yeah she's better than like 99 of dudes probably but that's yeah so that's like obviously female skateboarders can be ridiculously good leticia is insanely good yeah she's really good but why you know i bring this up because i don't believe it's just society okay i think it plays a role i think it's fair like you know a younger girl is not going to see any like you know super like uh well-known females breaking records and anything like that it probably has an impact yeah but shouldn't it be at least i don't know if they're skating together similar i don't know man i i really

do feel like prenatal prenatal testosterone plays a huge role in this i agree because i've talked to some scientists about it who brought that up and said that's the case that even if you reduce your testosterone levels you will still have an advantage due to prenatal testosterone levels yeah so now that we're now that we're basically banned from YouTube forever because they're going to claim hate speech and whatever nonsense. Oh, gosh. Yeah, I don't know how we navigate this, man. This is just us.

I mean, I have transgender friends. I'm not trying to discredit them. Just by saying that? What? That you have friends? Yeah. That's a huge no-no, bro. You can't say that.

Friends? Oh. And they're amazing people. Nope. And they agree with with me you're not allowed to say that okay that's like super offensive to who to the they to the left whenever you're having an argument if you say well i have friends who are x they immediately snip that take that and attack you for it well the reason why is because i i've actually had conversations with them. So, like, I'm going off my own experiences of what they've told me. So it's like, I don't, you say the left and all these people, and it's like, who are they even to talk anyway? Pitchfork mobs on Twitter.

Yeah, exactly. So bring it on. Like, I don't care. I know what I know. I know who, you know, has told me their opinions on things. And it's weird that these companies are more reactive to the left's mobs than the right's mobs. You're right. The way I explained it before, it's simple.

Here's what I said. Because they're the ones that will burn your building down. Bingo. Bingo. Seriously. They're the scary mobs. There will never be a moment where Ben Shapiro leads a pitchfork mob of, you know, black clad masking people.

He's like, well, listen, you can't have a debate in this building because it's offensive to me and my people. So we're going to burn your building down. Like, never going to happen. Never. In fact, the worst case scenario was he'd show up and be like, I would like to formally request a debate with you on your stage. And we'd be like, hey, that's awesome.

Come on. Yeah. All right. The left just shows up and screams re and throws a brick yeah you're never gonna you're never gonna see like i mean maybe there will be some you know there are some conservative because nobody's perfect but it's lopsided there's very few people on the right that would ever try and pull something like that off the left just lets it happen they just re so so here's what here's what i'll say about the left man yeah regular liberal people are they going to stand up and defend our rights?

No. No, because they're doing their own thing. They don't care. They're not paying attention. Yeah, they're doing their own thing. Conservatives are wired, man. They're on. They're active.

They're posting memes. They're making memes. Yeah, that's true. Yep. The left is just... So here's what happens. The craze of the left are in control of the left because the regular leftists just aren't paying attention. Yeah, that's what we get, man.

So I don't know. I wanted to bring this up because 1080 awesome. It is awesome. And the other story was ridiculous. You want to you want to discredit all the people that are trying to yell that he didn't actually do it, and he reverted out at the last bit, which is total BS, by the way. I've heard people argue that he did the 1080, but he did a quick re...

No, get out of here. He nailed it, dude. That was legit. I think he was past the 90-degree point. Yeah. He might have touched on one wheel. His back wheels came down when he had 80 degrees left. Yeah, exactly.

I don't care, dude. But he rolled it out. He rolled through. He landed it perfectly. As far as I can tell. Yeah, yeah. He nailed it. He took it low. I know. He was going for it, man. Yeah. So this kid's basically like 20 feet in the air. And when you're on a half-pipe, you want to connect with the top so you can transfer your energy

back to the ground. Otherwise, you just, boom, into the ground. Yep. He took it low. He was like, I'm not going to land it. I'm not going to put my feet down until I stick it. I guess the advantage of being 11 is he weighs like 50 pounds. That's true. It won't hurt if he whiffs it, which he probably did many times.

Lose your board and you just slowly float to the ground. Just slide on your knees. Yeah, when you're an adult. Like, Tony Hawk is like 6'3", probably weighs like 200 pounds. He's a big dude, yeah. He's lanky, so I'd say 200 ever. Yeah. So when he slams, you know. But's a big dude, yeah. He's lanky, that's why I say 200 ever. Yeah. So when he slams, you know. But they still, dude, he shreds, man.

Yeah, dude. Him and Andy Mack, they're constantly posting videos. I love watching his Instagram. It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, it's like I just follow skateboarding Instagram. That's all I follow. It's great.

Nice. All right, man. We went a little long on the segments, but we're going to jump over to the Super Chats. Super Chats. What up, everybody? Super Chats. Now, this is the point of the video where we start reading what you have to say. So the first thing you have to do is hit the like button.

Hit the button. Because apparently YouTube cares. Hit the like. I already liked it. And you can follow me at TimCast. You can follow Adam at AdamKrigler. Right down there. Send Adam story ideas.

You'll post a tweet or something, right? And tell people to follow. I'll do that right now. I'm going to do it at this very moment. I'm going to be like, we're on live. Send me stories. We are live. You can send Adam story ideas.

We are live. We use the stories. And yeah, man. Jump in the Super Chat if you'd like. We're going to start reading it. You know, maybe what we can start doing to make sure we can read the Super Chats is just do all of, like, the general talking for the first hour or so and then just read Super Chats until we're done. We can do that. Because then we can try and get through more.

Yeah, I love getting through the Super Chats. I read them all on AdamCast. We have higher standards for Super Chats. Oh, okay. Well. I'm just kidding. Oh, someone said they disliked the video.

You are freezing. Actually, that is totally fine. That works too. I will accept a dislike. It absolutely does hurt the channel 100%. This is a myth. Is it?

For a long time, it's been a myth that dislikes are just as good as likes. Not true at all. Oh, really? I've actually talked to Google about this

and they said they didn't, they gave me a wink, nudge nudge okay and guided me through basically telling me that when you dislike a video you destroy it oh wow yeah 100 wink wink nudge nudge so basically they what does that mean though they can't they can't give away their algorithmic secrets oh that makes sense so they never tell anyone what works and what doesn't okay and so i was talking to someone and i said the common idea for most people is that likes and dislikes just mean engaged with so youtube is equally as likely to recommend it if it's got likes or dislikes okay and they went don't get dislikes.

Yeah. That's what they said to you? Yeah. Oh, jeez. And I was like, really? Because is that bad for the video? And they were like, if you want recommendations, likes really help. And I'm like, ah.

And so I've actually looked at data and tracked this. The more dislikes, you can actually see the viewership drop in line with the amount of dislikes you start receiving. Wow. So absolutely. So make sure you like. Please like. Like the video and subscribe. Hit the bell button.

If you really dislike it, by all means, do it. You're free to do whatever you want. I'm not going to tell you what to do. I'm just saying like people seem to think when you see a video you don't like on YouTube and you give it a thumbs down, it really, really hurts the video. That's one of the reasons they disable it. Wow, yeah. But you can still like or dislike it even if they hide

it. Yeah. And so by hiding it, they're trying to discourage people from doing it because when you see the dislike ratio, people pile on. You should stop talking about it. The more you talk about them, the dislikes are just going up. Get some honorary people. Whatever. People can ruin the channel. Actually, wait. They're going down now. People are free to do whatever they want to do.

And the like buttons are going up. Now they know. Yeah. Everybody knows now. All right. Let's read the comments. All right. Not a banned account says, lost and got rehired at my job same day.

COVID. Whoa. Welcome back. Weird. Wow. Weird. Interesting. Congrats.

Good. Just Us says, first. Well, you were second, actually, unfortunately. But it goes on to say, eat plants. Oh, okay. Dude, we made a vegan pizza the other day. It was really good. I didn't try it. It's not really hard to make. We just, we laid chow cheese on

the crust and then put sauce on top. You hear that? He's making vegan stuff. I'm not even around. He's not even around. I'm so proud! But I ate a whole mess of chicken. I ate a whole mess of chicken. And so, after eating this big thing of... That's right.

Bring it around. Bring it back around. It was like Greek yogurt chicken. It was delicious. Some egg salad. And then I was like, I want to make a pizza. But we don't have any like pizza cheese. We have American cheese and we have the vegan stuff.

And I got to be honest, like American cheese for pizza is like whack. Oh, no. Not good. You can't do it. So we did the vegan stuff. That was actually really good. Came out really well. Kordo says, here's a story for you, Tim.

Apparently, smoking nicotine possibly prevents COVID-19. Isn't that weird? Look up China's and France's low infected numbers among active smokers. I heard that. So weird. Interesting. Because it like blocks something in the lungs or something like that. I don't know.

I'm not going to recommend smoking. Well, don't the lungs build up this huge defense system if you're a smoker? Yeah, I think that might be perfect. I was a smoker for a long time and when I quit I hacked up stuff for like a year straight. Seriously. And it's probably what it was. Yeah. Secret medicinal effects, huh? Yeah.

Drunk Shovel says, Elon Musk is genuinely the hero we need. Dude, I think Elon Musk is awesome. I agree. Yeah. But he's not perfect. No. He's just an eccentric dude who like... He's a human.

Yeah. And he... Yeah, he does his thing. I tweeted at him once. He responded. Very cool. It was a good day. I asked Elon Musk why he hadn't made an Iron Man suit yet.

And he said, building Starship. And I was like, that is an acceptable response. LaSalle says, welcome back, guys. love the stuff today tim appreciate it kenrick says did you all see the videos of the 1080 by a kid you know it oh yeah amazing yep dude i watched it i'm all excited i want to skate today i'm like i'm ready to just throw down any trick on the ramp and just fall and get hurt because i'm we have a three foot mini this kid's throwing out a 1080 dude at least i can do is like a kickflip 50.0 or something.

Tylenol. Tylenol. There you go. Too easy. Yeah. Charles says, Elon Musk, be like, come at me bro for sure dude totally stfu says nicotine is a known poison and anti-parasitic really it's anti-parasitic interesting yaron says y'all got any good book recommendations i do uh i mean if you're into the books that i read i

And then I'll read them. I think that's very sweet. I'm going to read it. Harry Potter. I've never read it. Those were fun books to read when you're like a little kid. I'm waiting to have kids, alright? And then I'll read them.

I think that's very sweet. I'm gonna read it with them. Alright. I.B. Ripenham says, Tim, I need your help. AOC is trying to ban bathroom talk. Please do a segment on my dilemma and let the left know that fart speech is free speech. Alright. Here it is. We just got it. I'll rip one for you,

sir. Yeah. That's right andrew says our grenel is looking to declassify any obama official involved in flynn unmasking according to abc yes i saw that it's getting spicy look as we get closer to november we're gonna see a ton of stuff declassified in my opinion but we'll see man because i do i do not look we live in a boring world could you imagine imagine if a former Obama high-ranking official actually got arrested and it was a big scandal? Yeah, right. They're going to cut a sweetheart deal.

I can see it. They're going to cut a deal. They're going to be like, we'll give you a million dollars and you can go live in your mansion and then we're all going to walk away from it. That's what they do at the top. Nobody faces justice. Logan says, Don't know how much you all know about history, but May 8th was the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, the day Germany surrendered. That's right, it's Victory

Day. Paul says, Musk should make medical grade PAPRs for his Tesla production workers and shame California. Blinky Bill says, proposed bill HR6666. Did you hear about this? No. What are they thinking? What the heck? The bill to provide

funding for like COVID tracing is 6666. Well, that's four sixes, though. It's one worse. It's 33% worse than regular 666. But come on, why would they do that? This is why people think it's the end of the world. You know what, man? Oh, that's silly.

Contact tracing is going to- I mean, what if it is literally just the 6666 it's standard just oh my goodness just skip it or do a bill where you're like propose an ice cream party whatever you do don't name the bill where you're going to contact trace people six six six six whatever i don't even care that's silly it is really silly but i thought it was so weird. The Dashing Rogue says, people forget that Tesla makes overtime mandatory for its workers.

When Tesla opens in Texas, watch for complaints about the hours and work conditions. Well, Elon Musk got to fix that, because those are legitimate complaints. I will call him up. That's true. That's some of the stuff I was talking about. My buddy that worked at Tesla,

he would work there a ridiculous amount of hours. I worked for American Eagle Airlines. They also had mandatory overtime. You could not leave. If they could just tell you, nope, you're staying. But you'd get overtime pay though, right? Okay. Legally, they have to do it.

Right, right, right. They call it mandatory. Okay. And so you'd be working a night shift. It'd be Friday night. You're like, oh, I'm all excited because I you know, I get out at like 10 and then I'm going to go to my friend's place, get their bike 11. And then they go, no, you're doing mandatory because a flight got delayed.

So it was kind of crazy because one flight could get delayed. Yeah. And it would be like, it's two hours late. So you got to sit in that room and watch, you know, reruns of Friends for the next two hours. You can't leave. Yeah. Sucks.

People bring an Xbox, though. They play video games. So not so bad. Not so bad. Not so bad. Adrian says, do you think Obamagate articles are strategically released to prevent certain Democratic officials from replacing Biden? Love the show. I don't know about that. Interesting.

I mean, it might actually encourage replacement if they implicate Biden in knowing these things, too. That's true. I don't know. I think they're coming out over time because there's two factors. If Trump doesn't get reelected, then these people get away with everything. And so the safest bet is to release as much as they can before the election, but also timing it strategically because it will help Trump get reelected. Yeah. I don't think the Democrats like any of this. They played the game, man. Yeah. But we'll see if anyone actually gets in

trouble. I doubt it. Yeah. Kyle. Well, I think it'll be low ranking officials. I don't think it's gonna be anyone high up. Makes sense. Kyle Miller says Tim's beanie is a SCP. Hello, I from the government and I am here to help. All right. He says so much respect to Elon Musk. Lots of love to you guys. Thanks for being you. Appreciate it. Wolf Spain says when will black communities learn these democratic strongholds and media aren't their friends? I'm tired of seeing my community destroyed by politicians who don't care about them. It's frustrating. Zuby brought this up because Zuby is British

and he said he genuinely didn't understand and Nigerian. Is he? Yeah, he is. He said he didn't understand why black communities in the US vote for Democrats when the Democrats keep giving them bad policies that hurt their community. Right. Hey, man, don't look at me because I don't know. I'm not a part of that community, so I can only

give you an external opinion. He does point out a lot of things. People love ripping him apart for it too, but he's so right. Didn't he write a song called Okay Dude? He wrote a song about it too? He did, yeah. He wrote his t-shirts and his suspension. We're so getting banned this episode.

That dude's funny though, man. He's red. He's got some really great points on life. But it's interesting because he's, you know, coming from an outside perspective, looking at how Americans, you know, vote in the black community. Yep. And, I mean, he's right. He's right.

Now, you've got Candace Owens, and she's much more gloves off when it comes to attacking the Democrats. Okay. So she just, like, you know, it's aggressive comes to attacking the democrats okay so she just like like you know it's it's it's aggressive to say the least i don't know much about her zuby's inquisitive side of stuff you know he'll be like i'm genuinely curious could someone help me understand why yeah that's what i like about candace owens is like these people have destroyed our community and they have no respect and i will see them you know you know she's much more aggressive on it but i defer

to them man i mean you can't you can't ignore their opinions right because i'm what am i supposed to say like this one group of people is right this up no i don't know i'll take they'll take their word for it kyle harman says f tyrants you know it miguel thanks for becoming a member thank you paul n says black panthers are carrying rifles at ahmed armory events arboree events and And the media, except Daily Mail, is not reporting. But I mean, who cares? This is the crazy thing to me. OK, like I went to an event in Texas and there were a bunch of white dudes with body armor and like rifles and they're holding them and they're standing around. And then a dude, a black dude walks up with a shirt that said Black Guns Matter. And he walked up and he shook all their hands and they were hanging out. And I'm like,

there's no problems here, man. The 2A people aren't freaking out that the Black Panthers showed up. The Black Panthers showed up in Virginia to defend the Second Amendment, and they were like, thank you for being here. The media is lying about who these people are. They want you to think it's a bunch of racists when it's not. It's liberty. So it's like when the Black Panthers show up to march with weapons,

the people I know who are about like Second Amendment are like, cool. Yeah, right on. Glad people are doing it. Yep. I agree. Talbot says truckers were affected by the gig bill too. They were fixing the pipelines as the shutdown happened. Surprised it went as well as it did.

Wow. Spencer, thanks for the super chat. A raffle says, hey, Tim and cast. Thanks for all you do. Check out recent vids. The newest two are well. Oh, my recent vids. Yeah, well, I'll take a look. Big LC says, how do you think things would be playing out if the DNC rigged the primary

for Buttigieg instead of Biden? If they did, I would be sitting here arguing about how I think Buttigieg is slightly, you know, he's not strong enough to beat Trump, but Buttigieg is a legitimate candidate. More than Biden was. What is Biden? You know what it is? Biden is like the last vestige of the Obama administration. They need him in for whatever they're like to maintain their power.

Like Hillary was Obama. That's funny. You just made me realize that what we think of Biden is like the remnants of the left that still thinks they have power. The media still thinks the left is cool. Biden, the Obama era. It's like, no, it's over. It's an old man who can't think straight.

It's an old man who can't think straight. And meanwhile, we're over here laughing at memes. And we're playing video games and laughing at memes, man. They don't get it. They lost. They lost this war. Nodar says, heard you say you were thinking about getting a flow hive. Be careful.

Some plants bees use produce honey that is almost solid and won't flow, thus making it almost impossible to remove without damage. Interesting. Well, we can't actually get it where we live anyway. We're not zoned for any of that stuff. We can't even have chickens. Nonsense. Now, that's BS.

We really can't have a flow hive though no i wonder i wonder if that uh whatever the pollen they get if that's like all across the country or if it's in a certain area that that pollen is interesting though we can't even have chickens man yeah like what's up with you get a little chicken you put them in your yard man and it poops out eggs and you eat them up can't do it because people are dirty i don't know i guess because the chickens can jump over fences and like get away or something oh really i don't know what the reason is yeah why chicken like the roosters i get yeah people waking up and like hey get out of here or goats and stuff i get but chickens now the bees too it's like i think the bees might be like a um local safeties like concerns or

something bees i mean we really need to save the bees that people are out killing bees now because they're so afraid of murder the murder hornets or something somebody went and burned a bunch of hives down it's like what bees are essential for like one out of three bites of food people don't get that bees are chill why are you killing bees yeah exactly they're super chill bees are not wasps yeah. Yeah. Like, if you get too close to a bee, they don't do anything. They'll fly away. Or land on you and be like, what are you all about? And, yeah, bees are chill.

It's wasps and yellow jackets, and people confuse them. And hornets. Yeah. Drunk Shovel says, Elon's got that African's tenacity that it takes to tame the bush. American needs that grit again. Thomas says, many from the conservative tribe are against the use of masks.

Say anything to excuse themselves for not using them. I now call them bug chasers. Oof. Joseph Taylor says, after telling friends I bought my limit in meat for my freezer, my friends called me an alt-right quasi-theocratic libertarian. What does that mean? I don't know. No idea.

Oh, man. Spencer says, Harley Rota, a Dem who was put into office thanks to a ballot harvesting in Orange County, California. It was private beach, was seen at the beach after tweeting to all people in OC not to go to the beach. Surprise, surprise, man. Rules for thee, but not for me. Kyle Miller says, Tim, when are you going to start selling a tim pool body pillow well we've got to do beanies i was thinking about doing skateboards pretty far down the list it'd be cool to have our own skateboards because then i never have to worry about buying them if i just get used to the same boards

gotta find a good company that makes boards though because you know i really like deluxe you know real and anti-hero i I can picture this body pillow, though. Just, like, the top half is, like, a big beanie. And then, like, you know, your face. Oh, the pillow itself could be the top. It could be, like, you know, like, you know. Beanie material. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then we'll have to replicate that shirt. And no legs, though. You don't have any legs. No, it's going to be an anime version of me. Right. Oh, not as fun. Well, it'll be funny. And then one for you as well sure we'll do skateboards too david says i saw an article about a bill that dems were pushing not too long ago to abolish right to work states probably that means

you have to join the unions i'm pretty sure wolf spain says sorry tim i forgot to mention that my first super chat is about the mob mentality and manipulation around ahmed arbery it's like they don't realize it will just hurt them in the end this is what i don't get about like the people i know who are posting about ahmed arbery i just want to ask them like are you tired of being wrong you were wrong about covington you were wrong about justice smollett there were a ton of other instances where you were wrong like hands up don't shoot during like michael brown stuff okay federal review apparently that's what happened right they reviewed the evidence and said he didn't have his hands up yep no they didn't i think yeah and that came out a few months ago like i mean a few months after the story whatever so all these narratives and now they're like he was just jogging it's like

bro dude wasn't jogging in the middle of the night three times yeah like in construction sites i used to work construction no one does that yeah they're in there stealing copper or tools trying to find anything. So why are all these conservatives coming out and being like, I always go to construction sites. That doesn't make any sense. I know. I'm like, what? Does that make it okay, then? No, they lock construction sites down.

You can't get in there. If you can get in there, that means you found a way in there and you shouldn't be in there. Well, the garage door was open. Okay. So why were you in there? It's funny. What's the reason? Not cool.

Just checking out the construction, man. You know, fun to fun to look at a new build or something that's what people are saying that's why they leave little windows i took my family i'm just kidding no some people tweeted like i took my family to a new build just the other day i'm like what dude where i grew up you know you get smacked in the teeth. Somebody, somebody's walking around on their property. Yeah. Like, I don't know. That's Chicago, man. I guess. That's weird to me, dude. Man. Matthew says, that's why I'm worried unionization in the, in the game industry, professional

game developers. Totally. Trade says, Louisiana is a right to work state. If a company has a union, you don't have to join and you get the same benefits as the union member. I personally like that more. Why would you want to join the union? You just have to pay more money.

Garant. Don't ask me. I have no idea. Because when they go on strike, you lose your job. I don't know. I don't get it. If you're in a union and they say, hey, we're going on strike, guess what? You can't work.

Yes. Like, what? I got needs, man. I got to feed my family. Yeah. Nope. Going on strike. I'd be like, nah. Then what? I got needs, man. I got to feed my family. Yeah. Nope. Going on strike. I'd be like, nah.

Then what? Bomchoo says, my sister lost her job because Governor Prickster made it illegal to run any type of non-union teaching facility. This forced her daycare to join a union which wanted over four years of back dues amounting to over, what is that, $50,000? $500,000. Four years of back due? Wow? How is that legal? What? That doesn't even make sense. Not even. Bowen says,

Our rights are inalienable, not government-given. The Constitution isn't just for sunny days. President Trump has lost my confidence and perhaps vote. But why, though? He's not the one taking it away. He's the one advocating for the rules to be restored. Bill Barr is the one taking it away. He's the one advocating for the rules to be restored. Bill Barr is the one who's arguing the Constitution isn't suspended. Connor says lockdowns, drones, armed protesters, insane media, even more

polarization. Where do we go from here? Boogaloo, baby! Where else do we go? I don't know. I don't know what else to do. You know, I was thinking one of the results we might not expect is actually complete demoralization. So what happens is that as things get crazier and crazier, people just stop caring completely. So like, a boogaloo requires people to fight and to have that energy and be like,

and fall to their knees and yell, right? Right. But what happens if people feel defeated and then just go, I'm over this. You guys want to go get pizza i don't think that's going to be a uniform feeling though giving up yeah if everybody just gave up then everything goes back to normal i'll see but you're right normal no one's gonna these anti-trump people are foaming at the mouth yeah yeah they really are what is wrong with these people dude rob thanks for coming to member thank Thank you. Charles says, Tim, you don't want someone chained to your leg.

Don't work as an oarsman on a Roman galley. I will keep that in mind. Good news or good advice. Good advice. Eric says, people seem to think lockdown are a cure. If we get the number low enough, it will disappear. Lockdowns are a precaution and a

closed economy may kill more over a longer period of time than the virus. And you you know people don't realize the economic damage comes slowly so everything we're seeing now it's a delayed response even if we open reopened right now the next few months yeah exactly already coming bro seth baldwin says apparently there were 2.9 million background checks for freedom launchers in April. Freedom Launchers? Freedom Launchers. Is that what they're called? Enough to arm half the population of Denmark.

Very nice. Sneaky Sobey says, I was reminded of the existence of Tim Allen's Home Improvement this weekend. And the show within the show of Tool Time. If you ever decide to change the name of your podcast, think Pool Time would be fairly fitting. But I think that would be more of like a silly, fun hangout thing with some skateboarding pool time. Bone says these tyrannical governors went full fascist with President Trump turning a blind eye. The solution was simple. No shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service. But Trump doesn't have that power. Tenth Amendment. The states are going to do it and Trump can't stop them. Water Dancer says, Tim the Rogue, Adam the Bard, Lydia the Cleric.

I do play Rogue, 100%. I played World of Warcraft. The brief D&D we did, I played Rogue. What do you play in D&D? Probably more of like a Ranger kind of type. Yeah. Yeah. I go for Rogue.

Riverwind. Sneaky. Jeremy says, I'm on a union eboard and i don't get a damn cent you don't see old open shop guys eats them up i get the chain to you idea but baddie baddie's reps will precede them and they run themselves off let's see a larga soda says i hate you tim love richard but thank you for the ten dollars lars and rune thanks for super chat john says re prisoners if they tried if if they tried their best to get covet i wonder what percentage caught the cv by trying would be interesting data set

it's actually a good question we can look at how many actually tried and how many actually got it yeah and then see like deliberate infection rate. But in that article, it was they tried to infect each other. Infected each other. No one died. No one got released. So they just got sick. They were like, man, we have the flu now. We're sick basically.

Yeah, well, you know what, man? That's what you get. King Canuck says, you aren't real skate punk unless you can play the goldfinger discography and the only real punk is my specific punk look how anti-conformist i am oh yeah i know the whole tony tony hawk pro skater 2 soundtrack baby mike says people who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them eric hoffer check out the book the true believer username says trump on twitter despite all the negative press covfefe media, Trump

can't spell. Trump signs covfefe act. Twitter. No point censoring the president now. Sad face. Trump is a genius. Cordy says, as far as I know, as far as I know, Texas does have a death penalty, but not by hanging. New Hampshire. They do.

New Hampshire. As a secondary form of death penalty. New Hampshire hangs people. But when was the last time they actually did it? 1939. 1939. Yeah, okay. Yep, now I know all about this. Thanks, guys. Corey says, I live in El Paso and have a friend that worked as a prison guard a while back. Maximum Casey says, I wanted to ask this question to all three of you.

What do you think about the difference between authoritarianism and totalitarianism, and how do you think those two apply in current events? Well, personally, I think those are not on the same spectrum. So totalitarianism is authoritarianism, but totalitarianism is like a more specific form of government where the government has total control over literally everything. It is a form of authoritarianism. It is peak, absolute authoritarianism, but it doesn't say anything to the economic system. So you can have a far right authoritarian system that, you know, basically beats you down, forces people to do

things, has strict laws, but you're allowed to trade within certain confines. And then you can have like, you know, you know, far left communism where you get fed what you get fed. And there's a command economy controlling everything. I don't know if you guys have thoughts on that. I'll leave it to you. Zynmart says Utah used a firing squad a few years ago. What? Yeah, some states did have firing squads. Firing squad?

What? Brutal. Yeah, it's pretty metal. I don't know, man. I gotta be honest. It's so metal. I think lethal injection might be worse, in my opinion. Why?

You just go to sleep. No, it's extremely painful. Really? Yeah, it's extremely painful. Who's here to tell us this? We know the chemicals cause excruciating pain, but they paralyze you beforehand for the people executing you so you don't scream

and shriek. Yikes. So they issue a paralytic. I have no idea. And then it's an excruciatingly painful chemical death. But it's not just that. I gotta be honest. I completely oppose the death penalty in all its forms. Okay. I think just

walk me to the beach, I'll go in the ocean and start swimming. Really? Yeah, absolutely. Just swim that way. I will take my chances swimming in the ocean,

then you locking me in a room and killing me. Right? It depends. What have you done? I mean, some people will probably just be like, I'll just end it now.

Nah, man. What if you, like, just swim out and then you'll probably die but at least by mouth you're gonna die by drowning probably that doesn't sound good yeah maybe

but it's like in the.001% chance you have of somehow surviving in some way you can befriend like a sea turtle and he'll help you in all likelihood take you to a secret island a sea turtle and he'll help you in all likelihood take you to a secret island so you have guaranteed death in in the death chamber with a state executioner yeah or you can go in the ocean and try swimming i'll go for the ocean man you know just go for it whatever i mean being put up against a wall and shot is

more instant then wouldn't it be yeah but it's the it's the anticipation, right? I'll tell you what. The anticipation of swimming off? I'd prefer not to know that I was sentenced to death and then just have a surprise and have no idea it happened. Let me go to bed one night and have them tell me, don't worry, you're not being sentenced to death. They could just gas your room. Yeah.

Just suck the air out or something. Or suck the air out. So you just will fall asleep. Just fall asleep and then carbon monoxide. and you just don't wake up perfect yeah why don't we do that you just fall asleep and you don't wake up yeah just put them in a sealed room go to sleep but not even tell them just like i don't believe the death penalty i think it's wrong i don't think anyone deserves to die it's it's a really really tough moral ethical uh situation someone just said death death by covifi. I appreciate that comment. Mark says,

Dallas and South Texas are very liberal compared to the rest of the state. It's been shocking to see how many Texans support these shutdowns. People are nuts, man. The Jack-O-Lantern says, make Texas great again by keeping out the commies. You know what? Just let them lock it all down. Just let them do it. Fine. Fine. Whatever.

Figure out how you got to survive but when they say we must lock down say okay you know why who do you think's going to survive in in a total apocalyptic scenario the urban liberals who are demanding money from the government or the conservatives who live in semi-rural areas who believe in personal responsibility yep it's like dude if you want to sink the boat you're on, okay, fine, because I know how to swim and you don't. Yep. I'm not really advocating for that,

but what are these, like, they don't seem to understand like how much their, dude, New York would be a nightmare. God, I'm so glad I don't, I'm not there anymore. People will be drinking each other's blood. Exciting. Wow. Yeah, I'm only half kidding, too. Very metal.

Dave, thanks for the super chat. Mark Martinez says, Tim, have MSNBC or CNN ever asked you to guest appear for them? If they haven't and they did, would you show up? Which host would you prefer to engage in a debate? I don't like debates at all. I don't debate anybody. I love a discussion.

Debates are weird. Debate is like this premise where you think you're right and you're battling to prove you're right or something. I don't understand what the point is. I'll have a discussion with somebody because there's probably a lot of things I don't know and we'll talk about it. That's about it. And if I end up having things that I think are wrong, well, the discussion is so that we both can improve our understanding. But I have been on MSNBC one time after I got attacked by anti-capitalists, essentially, you know, our equivalent

of Antifa back in 2011. They had me on a talk about it. That was a while ago. And I don't think I have been on MSNBC or CNN since. I don't think I've ever been on CNN. I've been on Fox News several times. It's really funny too. Because when I worked for Fusion, which is like super far left, I got invited onto Fox News and they told me to go do it. And I was like, okay. And then a bunch of people at the company got mad at me. And I was like, but they told me to do this. What are you mad at me for? Yeah. But I would go on MSNBC or CNN and it wouldn't be a debate. I don't care who I talk to. I'll talk to anybody. It'll be interesting. It'll never happen though, because they want to control the narrative. Gary says Dallas is heavily liberal and the governor has been against it.

California has released thousands. Yikes. Andrew says Arbery dividing people as well. Absolutely. Thank you, Sparka. Super Bam Bam says, Tim, why you keep touching yourself? You've tugged on your shirt about 40 times, according to chat at this time. It's because my shirt. It's over 100 and I think 120 now. My shirt droops. And so I straighten it. Fix it. Have you noticed my neck starts going down, and so I go like that? No. And then put it back up? No one has. I think it bothers them.

Because they don't know. Now they know. Yeah. You should fix your shirt. Fred Fredfurter says, would you moderate a political debate at any level for the 2020 election? If so, would you wear an all-black suit and tie with a fancy beanie? I would not moderate a political debate at any level.

I don't like debates. You know, I could have a discussion with somebody. But the second question, though. Would I wear an all black suit? Absolutely not. Of course not. I got invited. But the fancy beanie, though. I got invited to the Clinton. I want to see the fancy beanie.

I got invited to the Clinton Foundation Gala. And this was, I think, in like, maybe, I can't remember what year it was, 2013 or 2014, and I said only if I can wear my normal clothes. And they said it's a black tie affair. I said, too bad. And I didn't do it. Don't care.

The Last Chicken Nugget says I can't wait for the 20, 30 years from now when a document titled The New American Civil War magically comes to light. Yeah, interesting. The Buzz says Sidney Powell and Tim Fitton deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom. John Burkett says Tim, shirt tug game on point. But see, the problem is no one's ever pointed out the shirt tug thing before.

And I've been wearing this shirt for like, what, two years now? Yeah, I don't know. I did it the night before you guys got back. Yep. I pointed it out. This is your fault. It's my Yeah, I don't know. I did it the night before you guys got back. Yep. I pointed it out. You point, this is your fault. It's my fault. I don't mind at all.

OCD, bro. It becomes a thing now. Everyone's loving it. It's great. Ceylon Blue says, Did you see the tweets about people in SC that were in a subway with rocket launchers? Thread had homophobic photo edits on the pics.

X to double standards. Yeah, I've seen some of the rocket launcher pics. Yeah, I've seen a lot. Ultimately, if someone's acting legally, I don't have the problems. Is it loaded, though? It's like, who knows? I think one of the problems, though, is there's absolutely a double standard. Well, I think anecdotally, there's a bunch of videos where you can see black people carrying guns and getting stopped, and it's nuts.

Okay. That's why I'm like, dude, we need more, like, the NRA should be 100% on top of this. Yeah, I agree. I don't think they care. I think it's tribal, that's why i'm like dude we need more like the nra should be 100 on top of this yeah i don't think they care i think it's tribal though yeah there's a video where a black dude's walking with a rifle and a bunch of suvs swarm him and like get on the ground get on the ground and they're pointing at him yeah and he lays down to take his gun away and there are videos where there's like two guys that walk around with guns and the police are like just want to make sure they're not automatic all right you're good good to go yep now that could be selective you know filming right true because there's there was a video i saw of a white guy with uh it was a it was a league it was legally a pistol but it

was modified so as far as like the average person could tell from far away it looked like a rifle yeah but it was legally a pistol and so the cops came and stopped him and detained him and like it was a huge issue. So, you know, I don't know what happens. Let's see what we got. Charles says, when it comes to who will win in November, Biden or Trump, I put my money on Vegas. Totally agree. Etler the Dark says, so it has come to this.

No context needed. Eric says, 100 tugs per hour. Oh, more than that. You have no idea. Because when the camera's not on, I'm going like this. I'm shocked he hasn't ripped it. Gotta get it all out. You know when you wind up a toy or bring it back?

That's what he does. Every so often, he needs to reset. I actually have this big glass chamber, and I go inside, and I have to get all the tugs out. But it generates a ton of energy, which powers the studio. It's so cost-effective. Also powers the beanie. I love it. Yeah, it's the best. Thank you, Ted. Ferocious Cake says,

whoa, you guys see this. You have a professor arrested on charges of ties to China. I mean, that happens a lot. Wouldn't be the first. That's happened a lot. Not the first.

Mark says, see the White House press conference. I think about five different reporters asked the same question about tests despite getting the same answers.

It's no wonder Trump walked off. It's pointless talking to them. Yup. And that woman, what's her face from CNN, was arguing with Trump. Trump's like, not you, her. And she goes, but I have questions. No, her. But I have questions. Okay, I'm out. And then he just walks off. But she had questions, Tim. Dude, I'd throw them out. I'd be like,

if you say one more word, can you escort them out? Thank you. But I guess he can't do that. He got sued. Really? When he took away Jim Acosta's press pass. Oh, man. So he did the right thing.

I love it. He's just like, thank you, everybody, and he walks away. I agree. You're not going to listen to me? You're going to argue with me? I'm out of here. They argue we shouldn't show his press events because he's lying. Then they demand press events because he stopped them

then he brings them back and they say oh we can't show this he's lying it's like shut up you people are awful i can't stand these people yeah nicholas says the dems running biden is proof that within the next 25 years the party will attempt to run an artificial ai candidate black mirror is here oh man i mean what if they use cgi joe biden to debate wouldn't it be funny if like whoa jo if like Joe Biden standing on stage and he's not, he's like not really moving. And then he moves like this. Well, Trump, I personally disagree. That'd be great. I'd be like, yes.

Freaky. Like not even good animatronics, like Chuck E. Cheese level, like 30 year old banjo playing chucky cheese joe biden matthew says simp is now banned on twitch with the word is it really seriously ml says it says a lot about conservative media that my best talking points come from a guy as left as tim you do a uh you you do really do a great service brother in liberty appreciate it not heisenberg says can you tug your shirt please no no get out of here lr design studios laurie sullivan says the left is becoming irrelevant as more people realize the conversation is on the right and the left only shames and screeches i agree conversations

the grizzly says did you guys get the new ikora set in magic i heard they had godzilla cards in that set what kinds of decks would you build? And who are your favorite Godzilla monsters if you watched the movies? I haven't, have you? I haven't played Ikora yet. I actually just re-downloaded Arena on my computer. And I was just checking it out. Ghidorah? Is that the Hydra? Like the multi-headed dragon?

No idea. I think it's... I don't remember. That's my favorite Godzilla monster. the multi-headed no idea i i think it's why i don't remember that's that's my favorite godzilla monster multi-headed one the multi-headed dinosaur sweet hydra dragon thing or what yeah i forget the name of it though but yeah he's cool let's see let's see cranberry says our goal the right is liberty and tolerance so if you can tolerate us and not call us including liberals and conservatives evil god, God willing. Nicholas says, Tim, Jesus, Lydia,

do you think that in the near future with devices like Neuralink, politics will get more or less divided? Man, I don't know. I think less divided. I don't know yet. I don't know. I think a lot of people

are more similar than they let on or want to believe. It's not that. Once they create, there's two things that will change the world have you seen altered carbon oh jidra yeah gedora is the name sorry i was i was people in chat were have you have you seen altered carbon i have yeah where they have the cortical stack

that stores their consciousness yeah all of a sudden your body is irrelevant yeah it's just a sleeve and you can in and out of and but so that also plays into the other idea of virtual worlds so in altered carbon they have like they can plays into the other idea of virtual worlds. So in Altered Carbon, they can go into virtual and there's constructs they can be in. Right. But, dude, I'll tell you what. As soon as we have Neuralink, which can transmit virtual reality into your brain, so your brain experiences Skyrim, politics will be over.

Because people will literally be like, bro, bro, I don't care. Just make sure there's food on my table so I can go back to Skyrim. I don't agree with that. People are going to want to live in other worlds, man. Not everybody. There's going to be some people that will forever deny Neuralink and will fight it. In 70 years? You're right.

In 70 years. Yeah, maybe. There will be an older generation like, I'm not getting that thing put in my brain. And then their kids are born. It might always be that that faction though yeah for sure luddites they'll exist yeah but there's going to be people who you know in 100 200 years it'll be a small minority that doesn't yeah like even in altered carbon they have the neo-catholic right that like refuse to be re-loaded into new bodies for those that are familiar in the show it's basically like if you die there's a device in your neck that stores your consciousness, and they can transfer it to a new body.

So that will change a whole lot of our perception about, you know, race and stuff like that. Gender. But it's not so much about the changing bodies that I'm bringing up, it's the virtual reality. Like, dude, if people are going to want to live in the world where they can control things and be

happy, and it's like... Yeah, but more about the politics side of it, though. It's because we're going to want to live in the world where they can control things and be happy. And it's like, yeah, but more about the politics side of it, though, it's because we're going to become more connected. And that's really what the question is, is whether or not it's going to be more or less divided. And I think it's going to be less because we're going to be connected on such a like we're already more connected in this like the Internet right now we're we're connected to a bunch of people who are connected to a bunch of people but the i think i would say yes the problem is the interference from the big companies the censorship okay has created has made the divide a hundred times worse okay absolutely yeah so if they created a space but will they have the same amount of power though it's like right, it's time to vote. You just close your eyes and, you know, you just tell your Neuralink who you're voting for.

Boom. And that's it. It's like you. It'll get really, really, really bad. Really bad. Because you'll have a bunch of people now back. Oh, I'm going to vote. Just whatever.

Democrat. Because they don't know. They don't know or care. People aren't going to care. They're going to think Skyrim. Unless to vote, you actually have to watch the video in your head something like that who knows i don't know i'm just like coming up with something you know it's like if everyone in my opinion if every single person in the country voted okay you'd have a whole bunch of people

who don't know don't care and don't want to vote voting but do you think that that would make the they would be the majority that that's who would they like whoever they voted for would be the person who got the power then yeah or the people who pay attention are the the majority that they would actually make the decision if who do you think in that sense when people are going to vote for the people who don't care that don't know we'll always win we'll always win always win you know why because the politician is going to say in order to win i just need to get all these people don't care you vote for me and i'll give you a thousand bucks okay they're gonna be like yeah but they actually have to they have to care

a little bit to even listen to that person say that so the point is the guy will just run ads only saying i'll give you a thousand bucks over and over and over again everywhere okay and so that way they'll be like i don't know this other guy i don't know what he's all about something about you know immigration the other guy's gonna give me money so i'll vote for him kind of like andrew yang to be honest although andrew yang had a really a whole lot of really great policies perhaps that's what he was trying for i don't know but what ends up happening is you'll end up with emotional voters versus logical voters but you've said it before people will walk in and be like man i don't know whatever and that's what they're gonna end up doing they they're not going to be they're not going to be out there looking at ads

watching tv looking at that no their friends are going to be like you're voting for a democrat around the go oh yeah sure okay oh you're voting for a republican okay but no but urban centers with dense populations like the popular vote it's why we have the electoral college okay so i guess if we maintain an electoral college that could have a a serious impact on how the vote you know works okay but if it would so i guess yeah i guess that's what it really comes down to for the most part though i think republicans tend to be engaged at least what we're seeing right now the right is people who are debating and challenging and things like that and the left is a bunch of emotional people who aren't paying attention like dude i gotta be honest okay if i guarantee you 90 of my friends who do vote democrat if i actually sat down with them for 10 minutes

they wouldn't okay and i'd be like i'm not and that's what happened to me but but for real no i know so so think about the millions of democrat voters who have no idea what's going on is go democrat yeah whatever okay no idea and then what do they do for the past three years scandal scandal scandals getting no nothing done no issues so but i don't think you're taking into the the what neural link will become in 70 years 100 years it's not you're you're almost not going to be able to just be clueless on what's happening because you're going to be connected. It'll be...

I mean, I guess I'm making... Yeah, but not inside in my brain. That's like another level of connected that we don't even understand yet. There's not going to be a point where you won't have that choice. Unless you're talking about the Borg.

Then the Borg, there would be no vote. It would be a constant buzz. Okay. So if we have Neuralink, then you would basically be like, you'd be sitting there and you'd think Twitter and then the thing would pop up and you'd be looking at it in your mind. Right. You'd be choosing to do these things. Yeah, but that's a good point though, the whole Borg thing. That's kind of what I'm trying to lean towards.

It's like, sure, it might not be like one voiceless, you know, whir in our head that you don't really know what's happening. But if all of us are, every single person is like engaging and. That's what Twitter is. Yeah, but Twitter, as you told me, is only like, what, 2% of the population? Those 2% of people who are active and engaged on Twitter are ripping each other's heads off and at war. That's true. So what do you think would happen if you plugged everybody into that war? Then you'd have a civil war in two seconds.

Or the majority would be like, you small minority over there and you small minority over there, shut up. Nope. Because— That could happen, though. You can't just say nope. Yes I can because we have nope you back. We have every historical reference to say that you're wrong. Okay. In the Revolutionary War.

But we're not there yet. In the Revolutionary War. They weren't connected in their brains. This is a whole other thing we don't understand yet because we're not there. It doesn't matter if one person takes a gun and goes and starts shooting people and then someone else reacts to it. The majority can say no all they want. It won't what's happening okay so when the majority in the rebel in the colony said no to war and the revolutionary said we're doing it anyway right

they did it anyway okay so if you have everybody plugged in and 70 of people are saying everyone shut up we'll stop then someone's going to be like i'm being oppressed and they're going to go out and do something nuts and the other factions would be like we warned you all and you told us to stop and now look what's happening and that's literally what's going on with twitter and facebook and youtube okay even though the majority of people are saying kanye west kim kardashian leave me alone the warring factions are still showing up in the street punching each other and everything's still going nuts so even if you connected everybody into everyone's minds okay it's always most people who say no sure stop i don't want to be involved and then a small handful of crazies pick up arms and go nuts and it drags everybody into it. Yeah. I'm not saying

that that can't happen. Sure. That's not what I was saying. I'm saying that there is still the possibility of what I said to come true. I just, we don't understand. Neuralink is something that's going to bring us all together on a different, different level that we don't understand yet. I think it's fair to say that we don't know what the full effects will be if we're fully plugged in yeah but i also think it's fair to point out the precursor is things like twitter sure where we can see what happens when large swaths of the population are placed into this virtual political space i still feel like the twitter the twitter verse is not this like we're still kind of figuring it out. We've got to wait 10 more years to really understand what it's doing to us as a society, as a whole.

You know what I mean? What you're just saying right there. Still, only 2% of the population are on Twitter. Not everybody's on Twitter. Look at the data from LexisNexis going back to 2008, where words like, phrases like critical race theory, social justice, feminism, racism skyrocketed like several, like just thousands of times, a thousand fold plus. Yeah. Whereas the news used to say racism, you know, like 10 times a month, it now says it a million times a month. Right, exactly. Now plug everyone into that. Okay. And they will go insane in seconds. like 10 times a month it now says it a million times a month right exactly we're that much more

everyone into that okay and they will go insane in seconds right but it's also the the people that are making those things trend are not fully knowledgeable about everything that's happening they don't care they want money right the so specifics of them but as a whole i don't know if i agree with that you plug everybody in and you're still going to have 80% of people saying, I don't care, and I'm not paying attention. And then of the small factions, you're going to have people vying for influence, lying and manipulating to gain that influence.

Then you will see all of these people right now who don't read Vox and BuzzFeed, now they're plugged into it, and the access is substantially easier, and it can just appear in front of them or whatever the circumstance is where they can just know it and now you've pulled you've you've rapidly hyper polarized all of the masses but at the same time civil war right now we're seeing this this shift where people are starting to look over at those people and be like actually you're not

right actually you seem pretty ignorant on what's actually going on and you're just screaming and you know we're already seeing a shift it's already changing maybe but the problem is 300 people went out january 20th 2017 starting fires and throwing bricks and running through the streets of dc okay in a town of millions of people it takes only hundreds to destabilize everything in during occupy wall street took one pepper spraying to spark a national movement. So if you have most people saying enough, perhaps what could happen is these establishment resistance types get backed into a corner and then snap. And then say our only opportunity is to go nuts because we've lost all our power. So first of all, I think if you have Neuralink, you're not going to get people forced to do anything, which means they'll still ignore everything. It basically just means that

you've got your phone in your head. Well, people still don't use Twitter, even though they can use their phone to get it if they wanted to. That's like level one Neuralink. Yes. So then at what point do people lose their free will? That's a good point. That's a good question. It's not going to happen. The moment Neuralink flips on a switch where it says we're taking your free will, there will be riots, explosions, and humanity will eat itself alive. I agree. So there's going to be a lot of people who reject it.

There's going to be Luddites and people who refuse to get it. It could be 100 or 200 years when most people are totally fine with it. And then they implement, you know, the evil overlord presses the button and activates no free will or something. But there will always be some people who won't wire in. And then they'll go arm up.

And then that'll be it. Then some people will see some things and it'll change and disrupt. I don't think that we can, it's very likely that right now, based on what Neuralink is, we are going to have a Borg situation where people lose free will, which means even if you're wired in, I don't got to listen to what you have to say. People would go insane.

Could you imagine like trying to sit down and like watch a movie and you hear someone screeching? Definitely not. I couldn't. I couldn't handle that. Then why would anyone do it different from what twitter already is i think what neural link will do is if we get to the point where we can actually project experiences into your brain then people will just buy experiences like video games total recall you get to act right exactly you get to

actually be in this world people will be like i go to you know what they'll do you put in the neural link you send yourself to the beach while your body just goes to the motions doing the job think about that if we get to that point and then you like come to and you're like wow i just worked eight hours and i remember yeah i was at the beach just chilling virtual reality all right here's what we're gonna do we're gonna we're gonna start speeding up to the super chat so i apologize oh we're already 10 minutes over yeah we're way over well we kind of we kind of went on we kind of went on a tangent there that's great i couldn't help i couldn't help myself but i do think that we actually might have to super speed through

because we literally have like a couple hundred oh my. Thank you so much, everyone. Alright, let's see. You guys are fantastic. Oh man, there is so much. That was a lot of fun to debate you there, Tim. It was good. It's always good to have a little conflict on the show. Alexander says, letting people starve to death was the second thing

that happened after the Russian Revolution. That is after they put the farmers in camps. Sean says, sending some of my Trump bucks to recommend that the lady crochets a beanie for the top of that UFO. Also, what do you think about underwater farming and livable habitats?

Bioshock. Totally down. I don't know if underwater, but they are actually working on these floating islands that are self-sustaining universities. Yeah, they are actually working on these floating islands that are self-sustaining universities and that's yeah they're actually colleges that are they're really it's it's like the beginning of it but they're making it a school so it's kind of cool it's they well they get the funding i'm sure it's a lot easier but basically it's a fully self-sustaining island that has everything you can think of it's pretty cool and we can make

we can make biodomes in jars you ever see those things oh yeah yeah they're like it's like a eco something i guess the sunlight's coming in why don't we do that i've actually been to the biodome oh really the real one yeah the real one there it's in arizona yeah yeah there's two aren't there i i've been to biodome too i don't know if the first one still exists or where it is. It failed, though, didn't it? Like they tried to do it? No, they were in there for a few years. Oh, wow, really?

Yeah. They made a movie about it. Yeah. Pauly Shore was there. Biodome. Biodome. Jack says, wait, so we don't get to have a civil war? Well, we'll see, I guess.

Yeah. Mike says, Seattle port cop fired for speaking out against tyranny. Thoughts? Shame. Hey, if he's speaking out against tyranny. on them for firing him doing doing the right thing free nation says what's your take on the silence of climate change activists through all this we've shut down the global economy you'd figure they'd be lauding the impact putting aside venice canals just on co2 because they don't want to accept that all the misery coming from this is what they were what they were proposing hammer says please stop giving john stewart credit for a format that rush limbaugh created in 1992

96 kilbourne was the first host in 96 of the show then stewart in 98 rush first at comedy politics politics tv i'm not saying john stewart created it i'm saying that back in the day we trusted him because he was honest about it yeah but was was was Rush on the left, though? Wasn't he a Republican? Yeah. Right. So you were saying that John was leading on the left. Who was intellectually honest and funny. Right, right, right.

And now we've lost those thought leaders. Right. So you're left with a weird husk of emotionally reactive leftists. Yeah, that's not the same. Yeah. Maris says, This lockdown reminds me of the story of Killdozer. Tread on those who tread on you. Yikes. Keys says, says this lockdown reminds me of the story of killdozer tread on those who tread on you yikes

keys says re love the show and love the fact that you are based in facts being a black conservative i know the struggles of trying to communicate with the left appreciate you guys and your honesty appreciate it thank you hudson says i don't think the arbury saga saga and the subsequent fake news and hate crime hoax is going to reinforce tribalism on partisan lines it's probably designed to instigate race riots and it might yeah maybe jester says donating for the second time because adam likes wheel of time the greatest series of all time keep it the good work guys oh there you go see shout out the book i did here i heard a rumor that they're actually uh making it a tv series i don't know how i feel about it but if if they mess it up, I'm going to be pissed. And they might.

Oh, man. They better do it right. They're going to inject a bunch of weird feminism stuff into it. That's what they're doing with mine. I heard about that, actually. With what? With the series that I really love. Oh, no.

The Terry Pratchett series, the Discworld series. Ooh. Yeah. Well. Messing it up. That's what happens, man. Let's see. Darth Zeketh says, did you hear about the police

officer greg anderson in washington that got fired for a youtube video speaking out about liberty and integrity there's a gofundme i will check that out that sounds yeah i think i saw that video geez big daddy says do you guys ever struggle with the thought of maybe being an annoying to close friends or family for having political opinions and really like talking about controversial controversial subjects i feel it a lot i don't talk to my family about these things nope i don't care what people think about me or or talk like whatever i give my family my honest opinion i give my friends my honest opinion i give you i give you my honest opinion that's that's all i can say it's annoying when you talk their ears off and they don't care but i'll tell you what

if someone came to me and said, hey, I heard that Trump did a backflip and he didn't, I'd be like, well, he didn't do a backflip. I can show you the article if you're interested. Otherwise, we can go have pizza. It's up to you. And if they're like, well, I'd be like, look, if you want to have an argument about whether he did or didn't, we can.

I think it's kind of boring, but I'm telling you he didn't. I bet a lot of my family is really stoked that I'm like more in line with Trump now than I was ever before. Because they're Arizona conservatives or what? No, no, no. My family in Illinois. Oh, are they Illinois conservatives? Probably. I would say that.

I mean, outside of Chicago, it's all Republican. They're in the burbs. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. Let's see. Omniplex says, if you love Wheel Wheel of Time you'll love Brandon Sanderson's collection of novels collectively known as the Cosmere I'd highly recommend starting with Mistborn

by my favorite author I've read them all have you really well Brandon Sanderson finished the Wheel of Time uh because Robert Jordan died before he could finish it although he did write the last book or the end war anyway but it it was great and that's how I found Brandon Sanderson and I read all of his stuff. He's great. Word. Kubomi says, nicotine, like caffeine, is used in plants as an insecticide and was widely used

as this in the past. It is not known as an antiviral. Aaron Garcia says, because the Shapira impression was spot on, LOL. It was. on LOL it was nice that was pretty good JT says

love the show guys keep up the good work for whoever is looking for a good book I highly recommend the Licanius Trilogy by James Islington cool

Jackson says first time catching the live normally watch on 1.5 speed speak faster how's that local Costco replaced meats with the total tofu deli meat

supermarkets still have meat so maybe maybe it's a quality issue. There are no chicks with Ds. Johnny only dudes with bobs. Wow, that was good. That was great. Really good. Auctioneer. Say it faster.

The Revenge says, movie to watch, fight club, manga to read, berserk, game to play, RDR2, people to love, all kinds, freedom to give up, none. Red Dead 2 is really good. Bastion's Moms, to finish the expanse, need another recommendation. Also, Ria, Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan is an amazing book series for those looking for something good to read. too is really good bastion's mom says i finished the expanse need another recommendation also ria revelations by michael j sullivan is an amazing book series for those looking for something good to read man the expanse was a good show it was a good show i don't have anything offhand it's really it's really funny because people are always like on the joker and podcast they said that guy

talks really fast he's got to be on uppers it's like dude i try really hard to speak slower yeah this is his natural tone. But I am on no uppers other than, I guess right now, caffeine. Coffee, yeah. Yeah, you do drink coffee. But I drink less than the average person. Yeah, I guess so, huh? Yeah.

You drink one cup in the morning, is that right? It's two cups. Okay. Yeah. Because I do a big glass. But the average person drinks four a day, I think, or some ridiculous number. Maybe I'm wrong. Four cups a day? Because they have two cups. Because they have

two in the morning and then two in the afternoon or something like that. Okay. I just have I've been doing this oatmeal coffee. It's actually a little bit less than I think technically. No, I think it's about two cups of coffee. Yeah. But that's, that's, I just talk fast, man.
