How's it going, everybody? Welcome to the Memorial Day special episode of the TimCast IRL podcast. My name is Tim Poole. I am hanging out with my friends. Hey, what's up, everybody? It's Adam here. How you doing? Thanks for coming. Appreciate it. And me, producer Lydia. I'm here as well. Thank you. We are hanging out while everyone else is out, I guess, barbecuing, boating, beaching in defiance of the lockdown orders. Good. Those lawbreakers. There's a viral video of the Lake of the Ozarks.

Where is that, like Missouri or something? Yeah. And it's like everybody's just partying like normal. You know what? Look, man, here's what we're talking about tonight. We're talking about a lot of things, but I just, I had a friend go completely insane with social justice, lunacy, to the point where these people are overtly breaking the law and i'm like it's it's the weirdest dogma it's religious insanity

it's funny because you know growing up and i'm sure you guys have probably experienced this experienced this to different degrees or in different perspectives you had the the moral authority of the religious right and now that's all kind of drifting away into some kind of like libertarian right and it's being now our society is like if you're a funny offensive freedom-minded edgy boy and you want to make your silly little jokes and go about your business you're right wing but that was south park that was family guy that was the left before that's. And now the left is dogmatic to like a religious degree. And it's freaky.

And these are people that I knew. And it's like they've lost it. And you can't even talk to them anymore. It's the craziest thing to me is I remember when I was growing up trying to talk to somebody who was religious. And I went to Catholic school for the first six years of my grade school. So I could understand. I could talk about a lot of the stuff and i was always you know he's rather you know pragmatic and calm and we have good conversations and i'd be like oh here's what i think and then mostly when i got older because when i was young i was kind of a

kind of a far lefty dick okay yeah i was like i'm so smart i'm smarter than you and then i was like so the left really hasn't changed much huh no but this was like anarcho punk skater i know i'm just making a joke i was smarter i was the best but yeah no no for sure right but to see like you know i had i had this friend message me complete and utter garbage mangled nonsense oh man and trying to explain to them like why that was wrong was like talking to a die-hard religious person 15 years ago. And I'm like, wow. It's like the way they

it's weird because there are still people who view the right the same exact way. Like they've always been. I'm like, that's just not the case, bro. Like we walked away. We left. We're done with this dude. That's what we're going to be talking about. And we're going to talk about how this is negatively impacting everything, how it's negatively impacting journalism. Pulitzer Center.

Man, I'm thinking about actually launching my own award for journalism. I love it. I love this idea. And dumping mad cash behind it. I'm talking, like, insane money. Like, ugh. We'll see. So the Pulitzer Prize, I think, is $10,000.

Okay. Yeah. All right. Ten times. Well, I don't know how many awards they have for the Pulitzer Prize, but think, is 10 grand. Okay. Yeah. All right. Ten times. Well, I don't know how many awards they have for the Pulitzer Prize, but it's like a bunch. Yeah, but you should just do one prize. The best. The best of the best.

I want to do a bunch. I want to do a bunch. Legitimate journalism. It's like, dude, you know, it's like when I see these stories about people getting all this money, super rich, I'm like, oh, there's so much you need to, like, there's people who should have that money. What I mean by that is, like, Joe Rogan, for instance, said that in the New York Times interview with Barry Weiss. He's like, it feels gross that he made all this money. Okay. And I'm like, bro, hook up some comics.

You know, like, that's your thing. Yeah. Find some comedians. Figure out a way to do comedy better online or whatever. And you can do that. I'm sure you will. Right. I'm not acting like he's not going to do it. Okay. And that's what thing. Yeah. Find some comedians. Figure out a way to do comedy better online or whatever, and you can do that. I'm sure you will, right? I'm not acting like he's not going to do it. Okay. And that's what I'm saying. I wish there were more successful journalists, political media personalities who are like,

let me throw money behind this. The Pulitzer Center is supposed to be that. Anyway, I should save this. And before we get off on a tangent, we're going to be talking about a lot of this stuff. Yeah. We're going to get into it. Chad's saying it should be the Pulitzer Prize. The Pulitzer?

It's pretty good. I see you, chat. I'll get sued. I see you, chat. I'll get sued. It's a different word. We got some other stuff. It's a new word.

It's a great new word. We got some stuff about big tech or whatever. We're going to talk about Memorial Day. I think we got something about, yeah, we're going to talk about soldiers dying and stuff. Yeah, I definitely want to talk about it. That's what today's about you know respectful like you know looking at all the yeah adam you mentioned like a list of all the you know casualties of war and stuff yeah yeah yeah man so we'll talk about it so if you haven't already hop in that super chat send us some uh

some memorial day messages we love you guys and uh hit the like button smash that like button share the video like subscribe whatever you're supposed to do on YouTube. I'm going to go ahead and like it right now. Yeah, we're chilling. It's Memorial Day. We don't got anything to do, I guess. Someone can hear. They can hear the hum of that.

Can you turn that off? Of the AC? Yeah, the AC. All right. We'll turn it down. That's amazing. You got good ears. Yes.

I saw someone asking about it, and I'm like, I can hear it, too, I think. It's like at negative 40 dB. That's impressive. Someone heard it. They were like, there's some hum. What is that hum about? Oh, wow. That's a big difference.

But we can hear it, but these are directional mics. Oh, okay. But yeah, I'm sure a lot of people heard it. Yeah, it is what it is, man. Now you can hear the birds. Maybe. Can you guys hear the birds? These birds are like chilling right on the roof.

They're really pretty. They're looking in the window, and they're going like, ah, ah. They're like, chilling right on the roof. They're really pretty. They're looking in the window and they're going, It's like, anywhere else. We have a robin in the backyard now. It's like a fat, egg-filled lady robin. Oh, dope. And she stands on one of those garden things and just like yells all day. I'm like, all day.

I haven't seen her. You walk out and she's just like there and she's like, and you're like, she's not doing anything. Like, no, no, no, I don't think I'm your type. Sorry. Like, she's just like there. And she's like. And you're like. It's beautiful. She's not doing anything. Like. No, no, no. I don't think I'm your type. Sorry. Like why doesn't she move?

Literally not your type. She's guarding her nest. Guarding. Is that what she's doing? Yeah. So her nest is like right under the porch. She's yelling come at me bro. Yeah.

That's exactly what she's doing. There was a. There was. There was like a hawk or something flying over. A big one. And a bird attacking it. Really? Yeah.

I went on the deck and I looked up. And it was just like fluttering around. And like chomping it and pecking at it and i was like whoa hog didn't care well the hawk probably kept going went to attack the nest already yep and the other bird was like uh-uh yeah and was probably having an aerial battle yeah it was but the hawk was just like nature it was just flying it didn't flinch the other bird was like attacking it. Yeah, the hawk's like, okay. Yeah. I laugh at your feeble attempts. I could eat you if I wanted.

Yeah, man. So I guess let's just jump into talking about hypocrites breaking civil rights law, man. And this weird. SJWs. SJWs. They really know how to scream. Or we'll start with this. We'll start with this tweet right here. Sure, yeah. Let's go with that. Here wes. They really know how to scream. Or breathe, I guess. We'll start with this. We'll start with this tweet right here.

Sure, yeah. Let's go with that. Here we go. The Pulitzer Center. For those that aren't familiar, the Pulitzer Prize is for journalism, but it's also for writing and stuff, too. I think it's nonfiction. I think they do fiction, though.

Yeah, I think they give you awards for a lot of stuff. And it's like you get this little... I don't know if they give you a physical award. I think you do. You get this brass thing with a guy's face on it or something. Okay. And they give you 10 grand. That's my understanding.

And they tweeted this and they're getting ratioed. Now, I might point out the ratio is relatively small because nobody cares about the Pulitzer Center for the most part. But it says, we recognize that our mission to raise awareness of underreported global issues through journalism and education can only be achieved by actively cultivating diversity, equity, and inclusion in our work internally and externally. Read our full statement here.

No, I'm not going to read your full statement for your religious proclamation. I'm not interested. But it is a bummer because this is like a direct statement of like the core of journalism being like we have adopted religious dogma at the core of our mission. And now I've seen some journalists say that they've basically warned you. If you want to win an award, you have to do this. You have to say these things. And then, you know, the 1619 Project?

I've heard of it. Yeah, we've talked about it a bunch of times. You know about it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, basically it's fake news. They made some stuff up. Like it was all made up, basically. Fake history.

Yeah, so for those that aren't familiar, it was basically the New York Times wrote a series of essays written by people who made some stuff up. Like it was all made up basically. Fake history. Yeah. So for those that aren't familiar, it was basically the New York Times wrote a series, like a series of essays written by people who just made stuff up. They said that America was like a slavocracy, that everything in American history was designed to perpetuate slavery. None of this is true. It's like historians came out saying, what is this? Who wrote this? This is ridiculous. Like, it's not true. In fact, a lot of the founding fathers, they could have done better. I'll tell you what. But they directly opposed slavery from, you know, before even the inception of the United States. And I was reading about it. They said that the only reason slavery was allowed, was permitted within this new country

was because they didn't have the support to defeat the british in a revolution without certain states that had slaves uh so i'm i'm not a fan of that that's like you know that's it seems like you're willing to sacrifice your principles for power yeah i don't like it but hey man look the declaration of independence the constitution these have been tools for dismantling oppression and now we're coming to a period where the pendulum is just swinging all the way in the direction seems like yeah yeah now it's like like we were mentioning earlier the left has become this dogmatic religious entity but the problem is it was like a build-up where liberals were the left in this country for a long time they took over you know inherited a lot of institutions journalism media rural outlets started you know decaying due to the internet you know inherited a lot of institutions journalism media rural outlets started you know decaying due

to the internet you know like smaller papers and stuff and now that urban liberals dominate this they're all being replaced by religious zealots so it's like all of a sudden you wake up one day and a cult owns your mainstream media owns your video gaming it starts manipulating and you're watching them stick their tendrils into it. Even like small town businesses are being taken over Walmart, you know, Home Depot. They're adopting. Well, no, they're they're I mean, I'm just making comparison. It's the same kind of thing. It's happening across the board, you know, like the weird just people taking over. You know what it is? I think it's the natural progression of civil rights law. But now it's gone to a point where it's overtly breaking civil rights law.

So, you know, for those that are curious about like the headline, I just have, I have more than one friend and I can see these, these people that I knew have, have, I would, I would, dare I say, have lost it. It's like, how do you get someone out of a cult? And it's funny because they messaged me saying things like, what happened to you, man? And I'm like, nothing, literally nothing. Nothing happened to me. I'm the same exact way.

I've always been. I had some people that I knew from Vice come over. They're like, we're hanging out. And they're saying this insane stuff. And I'm like, what changed for you guys? And they were like, what do you mean, man? Like, you know, they're looking at me saying that I've changed. My content's changed. And I'm like, let me you mean, man? Like, you know, they're looking at me saying that I've changed. My content's changed.

And I'm like, let me ask you a question, man. Think about an article Vice would have written 10 years ago. Okay. Think about an article Vice would write today. Like, come on. I don't know Vice anymore. So I can't even think of something that they'd write. They wrote an article that said this horrifying app can show you any woman topless. Cause what it would do is

you take a picture and then it would Photoshop it instantly to like take the shirt off. Okay. And I was like, here's the article. Right. And they're like, yeah. And I'm like, do you, would vice have written this 10 years ago? No. And they're like, no. And I'm like, right. So you look at me and you're like, you're, you changed, man. I'm like, no, I didn't. I went to work for the company. In what year was it? It was 2012 is when I started talking to Vice. 2013 is when I got hired.

And that was around the time things started to change. I went to go work for the company that would write offensive comments and content and do gross things like take a dump in a jar and leave it festering in the back of the building. They actually did that. Yeah, there's weird stories about the things they used to do when they were edgy and punk rock. Like, really weird stuff. And then they all of a sudden just became infected by this stuff. And I'm like, you guys don't understand

that you are, you don't, what you say and what you're doing, regular people don't like it. You know? Yeah, regular people. So it's like, you think about policy-wise i'm like here you are

advocating for for one violating the civil rights law when they do posts where they're like we're only hiring so in like the uk they do this thing where they say they're only hiring bame okay what does bame stand for never even heard of it i'm not sure but that's the word right let me look it up yeah it's like b like... BAME. B-A-M? Yeah, B-A-M-E. BAME. Yeah, it's like something African and minority ethnic, I think. Black, Asian, minority ethnic.

There you go. Black, Asian, minority ethnic. And in the United States, that's illegal outright. Yeah. There's some exceptions. Okay. Yeah, so if someone came out and said, I'm looking to hire for this job, but you have to be this category okay that's

totally illegal makes sense and so the the uh civil rights movement was built to stop people hiring based on identity yeah and we pass a law saying you can't do this anymore and now they're doing it now the people who claim to fight against it, it's like the pendulum swinging the other direction. Yep, that's all I was thinking, the pendulum swings. They're trying so hard to be not racist that they're racist. Or does it not even swing the other way? Maybe it just swung back. Maybe the pendulum swing really is like,

racists, freedom. Racists, freedom. And it doesn't matter what the core ideology is if they're just overt racists, freedom. Racists, freedom. And it doesn't matter what the core ideology is if they're just overt racists. Yeah. The Pulitzer Prize seems just like it's become a participation trophy. Like, oh, you did an awesome article about SJW stuff. Here you go.

You win one. You wrote a good sermon for the SJW population. Yeah, the Church of Inclusion and Diversity. Yeah. And the definitions keep changing. Like, this is funny, James Lindsay is a... Is James Lindsay a professor? He's a professor, right?

He is. Yeah. And do you know what the Sokol Squared hoax is? No idea. You're going to love this, bro. Oh, man. And I know a lot of people listening probably already know this, but if you don't, you're going to love this.

So Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay, and Helen Pluckrose, the three masterminds of what's called Sokol Squared. Peter Boghossian is, what is he? He's an associate professor of philosophy, I think. No, he's a math teacher. He's a math? Yeah. No, Peter Boghossian. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Yeah. James Lindsay's a math teacher, right?

I was going to say, yeah. Let me see. They wrote fake academic articles, published them, or submitted them and got them published in prestigious academic journals. Now, first, they wrote one called, what was it like? They wrote, where are we getting feedback now? What's going on with that?

Yeah, I hear that. There we go. I don't know if they can hear it. I don't think they can. It's just us. All right. Hold on. Hold on. I don't want to barely. Go ahead. They wrote about rape culture in dog parks.

In dog parks? Dog parks. Okay. And it gets, I think that one got picked up. Yep. Here's the best one. They took a section out of Mein Kampf and they changed certain proper nouns to feminist buzzwords.

Okay. And it got published. Wait, what's Mein Kampf? That's Hitler's book. Oh to feminist buzzwords. Okay. And it got published. Wait, what's Mein Kampf? That's Hitler's book. Oh, jeez. Yep. Okay. And it got published.

I think that one did get published. So there were some, that's some professional troll work right there. Oh, my God. And they got attacked for it. They're trying to prove a point. Yeah. The point was that. Because it got picked up.

Social sciences has been totally dominated by dogma. Yeah. The point was that. Because it got picked up. Social sciences has been totally dominated by dogma. Yeah. That if you just adhere to the dogma of the social justice rhetoric, they'll publish anything. It's like, man, could you imagine this? This is what's crazy. Because I had my complaints with the moralistic religious right when I was growing up, but they couldn't add pages to the Bible. Right. You know what I mean?

It was like the Bible was there. Imagine if they could, though. Yeah. It's like today we're putting a new chapter right in the back. And that what I mean? It was like the Bible was there. Imagine if they could, though. It's like today, we're putting a new chapter right in the back. And that's what we're getting with social justice.

Well, they'd have to fit it. Isn't the end like the end of all times? I don't know the Bible at all. Isn't Revelations, is that in the middle? No, but that's at the end of the world.

I thought it is. End times, yeah. End times, isn't it? No, I think you guys are wrong. I will tell you this. I certainly don't have anything. I don't know the Bible at all. you guys are wrong. I will tell you this. I certainly don't have anything. I don't know the Bible at all. I was raised in it.

Yeah, you know. I would trust her. End of days. And I'm right. So couldn't go then. They'd have to fit it in before that. Yeah, just squish it in. Right before the end, all this new stuff will happen that we're going to declare.

Not about what will happen, just like new rules. Yeah. Leviticus 8,926. Yes, Old Testament. Well, how often do you think that that had to have happened though in real life they actually added they had to add stuff and they did new things and i mean i don't know a whole lot about the history but i'm pretty sure there was like something like council of rome or something do you know about this council of nicaea is that what they went through

and they like edited some of it yeah yeah come on what is that all about i know the word of god isn't good enough here it's good enough. Let's just fix a little bit. So anyway, look, the point is the King James Bible has been the same. And for all of my arguments with the people I grew up with who are religious, I knew what I was arguing against. Now they just keep changing everything. Now it's like, look, James Lindsay said, I'll kindly add some expanded clarity on these

continuously evolving definitions for you. What does that even mean? But he's right. Well, they keep changing stuff. Diversity. What does it mean? Diversity means more than just acknowledging and or tolerating difference. Diversity is a set of conscious practices that involve

understanding and appreciating interdependence of humanity, cultures, and the natural environment. Practicing mutual respect for qualities and experiences that are different from our own. Understanding that diversity includes not only ways of being, but also ways of knowing. Recognizing that personal, cultural, and institutionalized discrimination creates and sustains privileges for some while creating and sustaining disadvantages for other. Building alliances across differences so that we can work together to eradicate all forms of discrimination. Now, as far as I'm concerned, this whole thing is like the new nobility. That's what it is.

And they want to maintain their class power by claiming that they're advocating against their class power. But they're not. They're establishing it. Right? Okay. I see what you're saying. A society that says everyone has equal opportunity and merit determines means that, well, of course, some people have class-based, you know, advantages. But when you assert this and you straight up say white people have privilege. You're establishing that always you as a white person are above that.

You're better off. You're you're you're anchoring your position as in the hierarchy above other people. It's literally what they do. Yeah. And they justify it by saying, like, but we're going to help those in need. It's like, no, you're actually just telling people that you're smarter and better than them, you know. And now it's in journalism. And it'll be everything.

You know, I think we were talking about how this stuff is kind of drifting away when COVID happens. It felt like it for a while, yeah. Yeah, and now that COVID's going away, this is coming back. Coming back, yay. Going away, in quotes. But it is. I mean, like, we see those videos of people out partying at the lake of the ozarks it feels like they're really trying to keep it as long as possible though like wait

where's covid can we keep it around somehow we blame it for something we don't have enough powers as it is yeah and for a while the culture war was covid yeah that's true it was like the dogma from the left was the lockdown must remain and it was and then the right started saying no the lockdown must be lifted and like that was it it was like what yep that was it it's a partisan issue now yep what and now what are we dealing with we're dealing with like the uh the lockdowns backfired yeah we've got numerous studies saying it it the new york times uh this is what my main segment on my YouTube, my TimCast channel was about. The New York Times said the coronavirus is worse in Democrat

counties. Yeah, I didn't see that video. We talked about it before you recorded it, though. It's interesting. If you live in an area where Hillary Clinton won, you are more likely to be negatively impacted by COVID. I was not expecting to hear that. Yep. And the New York, and so a lot of people immediately say like, oh, well, you know, the Hillary Clinton districts are all population dense. Doesn't explain Houston and Dallas. It doesn't explain Japan.

It doesn't explain a bunch of big cities around the world that did not face this. Well, someone actually tweeted this to me earlier. They said that you talked about, you referenced Japan, the numbers in Japan. Yeah. And they said that they live in Japan. They've been there for six years. And it's really hard to get tested. It's really hard to get treatment.

So a lot of the people who have COVID are going unnoticed, basically. Sure. But look at... It's hard to get an actual number. Look at the numbers in... So I think the easiest way to assess that is you look at South Dakota, you look at Texas, you look at Florida. Right right are there hospitals overrun with covid patients no so testing aside that actually got me thinking was which hospitals were overrun in new york there were there there was

yeah some hospitals went overrun definitely okay i mean there's videos of this and then why didn't they use those extra hospitals that they set up then javits was used it was okay and i'm not sure about the boat right though was it the mercy or the medical boat yeah i don't Why didn't they use those extra hospitals that they set up then? Javits was used. It was used. Okay. And I'm not sure about the boat. Right. Was it the Mercy or the medical boat? Yeah, I don't think it was. The Javits Center was used, but most of the field hospitals, like 90% or whatever, never used at all.

So now they're just keeping everything locked down. So technically, it was a partisan issue. Yeah. Weird, right? Right. Yeah right in many ways yeah so the policies of look we look at that data and we can't say exactly which policies we can't say the extended lockdowns were wrong so texas was one of the last to lock down and one of the first to open according to the new york times okay tex Texas also had almost none of the problems of New York. New York was one of the first

to lock down and Washington was one of the first to lock down and they had it really, really bad. Yeah. And then we saw,

this is what blows my mind, Andrew Cuomo comes out and does his thing on a daily basis and he's like, look at this, 66% of people

getting sick are at home. Better extend the lockdown another month month and a half yeah like wait what you're taking people out of the jails and then putting them in the place where they're getting sick and then taking up sick people and putting them in places where the most potent people who are going to get it the most the old people's homes are that's where they're putting yeah the nursing homes like why would you put like, of course, those are the people that are getting killed. Why are you putting people in there?

Adam. Oh, that was Trump's fault. Oh, right. He blamed Trump for that. Even though Trump sent over the medical boat. Right. Yeah. Which now I'm finding out they didn't even use.

Yep. I don't know. How does that make any sense? I don't know. I don't know why they didn't use it. I mean, look, is that just their go to? Oh, am I being blamed for something? No, no, no, no, no.

Trump did it. It's Trump's fault. It is. That's their go-to. Listen, when Trump says, I want the states to reopen, they all go, yeah, yeah, you can't make the states reopen because you don't have the authority. And Trump goes, I have the authority. I have supreme authority.

And all the journalists are like, no, you don't. And he doesn't. Yeah. But then when the states are falling apart, they like trump should have locked down sooner he just told him he couldn't do it yeah it's it's it's when when the problem it was their fault it's trump for doing it and they need money but then when trump wants to change things hey you're not allowed to because you don't actually have the authority to do it yeah oh yeah and they want money yeah they do need oh man i love it oh yeah man they need money it reminds me of you know

the you know the greatest story ever told by george carlin it sounds familiar i might have heard it yeah i don't know if you've ever seen the zeitgeist documentary i have it opens with him saying like the greatest ever story ever told and then he talks about religion he drags religion oh yeah but then he ends by saying you know there's a man in the sky and he needs money and that reminds me of what these these governors are doing where it's like they've shut down they've destroyed their economies they've locked people out of their buildings they've threatened them with the rest now that there's no tax revenue coming in they got to go to the federal government because they need money they can rag on trump all day and night it's all his fault yeah that's what phil murphy's doing

phil murph in uh in new jersey yeah so he was like, we desperately need federal funding. And by the way, all our medical professionals are going to run out of work. And we're going to have to fire all the paramedics. Give us some money. He actually said they're going to fire medical professionals. Wow. This is the problem I have with the, you know, kind of loop it back in with like the culture where SJW stuff. Is I had a friend message me saying the government should provide for everybody.

They should provide for health care and food and cover rent or like an important amount of rent and evictions while this is happening. And I'm like, that is such a fairy tale view of the world, man. Yes, the good old government fairy will float down your chimney and sprinkle their little magic cane and poof, a cornucopia of fruit and vegetables and bread will pour out. And they'll smile like a Disney movie. What a lovely image. Lovely image.

Imagine Uncle Sam, but fat, with wings. And he floats in. And it's like Disney animation. And he goes like. Okay, whoa, whoa. It just now turned to a nightmare. My gosh. I don't want to imagine that.

And then when you wake up, he goes, you. I want you. Like, you want me? To eat this bread I made. And you're like, thanks, Uncle Sam. Do you know the government used to give people cheese? Government cheese. Government used to give people cheese, bro.

Government cheese. Yeah. Real cheese. Yeah. Oh, real cheese, not fake cheese, huh? The government used to give people cheese. Yeah, who knew? I mean, I'll take some chow cheese from the government.

No, it was nasty. It was nasty stuff. Look at this. Government cheese. It looks gross. It's real. One big, huge block of cheese. Government cheese is processed cheese provided to welfare beneficiaries.

Could you imagine Ronald Reagan actually coming to your door? Is that Reagan holding a big block of cheese? Here's cheese, buddy. You hungry? No. Not anymore. Is Velveeta the same as government cheese? Ooh.

You won't soon forget it. Its flavor was described as somewhere between Velveeta and American. Huh. The government made its own cheese and gave it to people. That doesn't sound that bad. So they weren't trying to sell it or anything, huh? No. It was like their equivalent of food stamps. Oh. They'd give you a block of cheese, it was like their equivalent of food stamps.

They'd give you a block of cheese. Here you go. The government comes in. So, okay, I'll tell you what. Maybe if people grew up in the 50s and they got cheese, they're like, the government should give us cheese again. I demand. Cheese.

Remember when they gave us cheese? I remember. I miss those days. I don't know how I'd feel. What is it? Does it come in a cooler? Oh, no, because Velveeta is shelf stable. Blah. Yeah.

No. No, thanks. I'm good. No. I mean, it's American cheese. What do you expect? I never liked American cheese anyway. Food stamp recipients and the elderly receiving Social Security in the U.S. got government cheese.

Oh, man. And food banks. It was processed cheese used in military kitchens during World War II. Oh, wow. And it had been used in the schools since the 1950s. So I guess they had too much. They made a bunch of cheese for the war. And so they were like, give people cheese?

Wait, when were they actually giving away this cheese? In the 50s. Oh, it was in the 50s. Yeah, in the 50s. That's crazy, right? Anyway, back to the main point. I don't know how we got here. Random. No, because what I'm talking about. That's crazy, right? Anyway, back to the main point. I don't know how we got here. Random.

No, because what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. My friend who's gone completely down the cultist rabbit hole. Okay. And it's shocking to me. That's hard. That they used to be normal, and then something happened to them.

And it's like I was explaining early on, like, nothing happened to me, dude. Like, there's a reason I left Vice. Everyone started going crazy. I'm very individualistic. I'm very headstrong. I know what I'm doing, where I'm going. The things that I've talked about policy-wise, it's like Bernie Sanders in 2008 or whatever. He's like, we got to build a wall. Bernie, we said border fence or something. Okay. We need a barrier between this country and Mexico. Because he, and then even recently with the New York Times, he said,

illegal immigration depresses wages. And I'm'm like these are facts that every democrat supported but now they've all gone so far left on this cultist rabbit hole they're like we got to stop deporting people and let them work here it's like wait and give them health insurance yeah wait we don't even have health insurance as americans yeah why are you jumping over to giving other people health insurance how does that make any sense you know the easiest way i can explain it? Have I ever told you about the Tai Chi Hitler stuff? No. Let me see if I can find this.

Oh, please enlighten me. Tell me about Tai Chi Hitler stuff. I'm not sure where this is going. It kind of makes me uncomfortable. I'm not going to play. Maybe I should play. Is it an anime? No, let's pull this up. Hulk versus Hitler finger family nursery rhymes.

Oh, it's this. Oh, this thing you were talking about the other day. Whoa. That was loud. We do not want to play that. My ears hurt. All right, let's see. Let's see.

Sorry if that affected anyone else. All right, there you go. For those that are watching, we got Adolf Hitler and what looks like some kind of Hulk monster. It looks like a lizard Hulk. And so what it is, I'm not going to play the audio. It's really creepy. Look at this. What is that?

That's like Sasquatch Hulk. Oh, wait, look, here's a green bikini lady and cat woman doing the same thing. And then a finger comes up with the green lady's face. What is going on? What are we watching? We are watching... I feel like we just jumped into the SJW hole. Right.

I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It does. It feels like we're in a hole somewhere. Oh, this is a nursery rhymes for children. This is what you were talking about the other day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Right.

So listen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For those of you that are listening, I'm going to explain this to you. Wow. We're looking at this freaky Hulk versus Hitler 3D animation nursery rhyme video. that are listening i'm gonna explain this to you wow we're looking at this freaky hulk versus hitler 3d animation nursery rhyme video and this is the easiest way i can explain to people social justice

politics yeah so let me explain to you why this video exists please try to explain it to me mothers i don't get it we're giving babies ipads right they would put the ipad in front of the baby and they would turn on finger family nursery rhyme okay the original videos are just like door of the explorer dancing around and it sings this nursery rhyme which i'm not going to sing because people get mad at me because i'll get stuck in their head where it like basically names all the fingers okay youtube's autoplay algorithm doesn't differentiate between substance it It only interacts with like, are you watching for a long time? Okay.

And are the keywords relevant, right? The algorithm at the time, this is several years ago, like just, it didn't work very well. And so what ends up happening is when a baby is laying in a crib and the iPad is just playing autoplay for hours, first it'll play a real nursery rhyme video. Then it'll

play another real nursery rhyme video. Okay. But then the quality will start to degrade. This video was developed by people in India who used basically keyword scrapers to figure out what was getting the most plays on YouTube. And make stuff that would also get hits, basically. Yeah. And so what happens is after a few runs, the autoplay algorithm on YouTube would play complete garbled nonsense. Right. Now, here's what's funny. When you look at that as a sentient human adult who is like learned even a little bit, you're like, this is insane. Yes.

But what would happen if someone took an amalgamation of general politics and mashed it all together and then presented it for you? It would look real to a baby. They can't tell the difference. They see this. The baby's like, oh, that's just, yep. That's the only thing I know. Yeah. So here's what happens with social justice politics. Facebook started early on in Facebook's days, a bunch of blogs started popping up like Huffington Post, BuzzFeed. And they found that by exploiting Facebook's algorithm, they could get a ton of shares on their articles and make a lot of money.

But it was completely dependent upon Facebook, people on Facebook clicking share. Something truly fascinating ends up happening. A website like Huffington Post will write about a police brutality article. Okay. You know, like some police brutality thing happens.

100,000 shares. They get 10 million views and they're like, we just made 40 grand off of that one article that took you 10 minutes to write. Yeah. Write more.

Yeah. But then something even stranger happens. BuzzFeed writes about sexism. And that also gets 10 million to write? Yeah. Write more. Yeah. Yeah. But then something even stranger happens. BuzzFeed writes about sexism. And that also gets 10 million, right? So the algorithm says sexism, show this more because people share it. Racism, show this more because people share it. And then a light bulb appeared over Jonah Peretti's head.

A sexist racist. Boom. Booyah. What? Making the money. And that's how you get intersectional feminism so so now on facebook all of a sudden they started jamming as many things as possible into their articles and so intersectionality was the key man it was the obvious outcome of

facebook's algorithmic algorithmic manipulation an article about sexism gets you x views yeah an article about racism gets you y views an article about sexism gets you X views. Yeah. An article about racism gets you Y views. An article about sexism and racism gets you X plus Y views. All I can think of is that woman talking about Ivanka and how that article just had every, she hit every different point. She could even, we were like, how did it even go there? But nope, she was just putting it all in there to hit all the check boxes.

And it might not even be on purpose. It might be a natural tendency. So here's what happens. I mentioned when I say Jonah Peretti and BuzzFeed, those are hypotheticals. I'm using them as examples because this is what they're accused of doing

by like Jeff Jarvis is a professor and he did some Twitter thread about how BuzzFeed's whole business model was basically using Facebook's algorithm. When Facebook changed this, they all panicked and lost a ton of money and laid a ton of people off. But now we end up seeing

this tendency occurs, right? The first thing that happened was this. Krigler News pops up, right? A legitimate news source. Krigler News pops up on Facebook. It's not a thing, but it could be. So let's say the year's 2007 and someone creates the Kriglet the cricklington post oh an interesting twist yes the cricklington

post is straight news straight news yo only the real news that's what we do at cricklington and so it was articles that were like today in syria 17 fighters approached the u.s border and you know surrendered really really boring dry stuff stuff. Okay. At the same time, the Huffington Post pops up. They both publish articles. Cricklington News, the Cricklington Post, is straightforward, fair, and objective. That's right.

Huffington Post is shock, content, outrage, intersectionality. Guess which one gets more shares? Not Cricklington Post, I'm sorry. No, I know. The straightforward news, people just didn't want it. We hadicklington Post. I'm sorry. No, I know. It was sad. The straightforward news. People just didn't want it. We had to go under. So now what happens is the real news goes out of business.

Yep. Venture capitalists start seeing Huffington Post and all these companies. And so they're like, let's dump some money into this. Yeah, let's invest better. Boom. All of a sudden, these companies were worth hundreds of millions of dollars. They're getting crazy investment. I mean, Vox got like, you know, 200 million. Vice got like 500 million. Just, ooh, just dump it all in. Light it up.

And this propped up these companies. Now they were funded. Something else funny happens. So you get a company like Vice. What do they do? They hire people like me. They hire a bunch of cool people who know how to do news and do real legit on the ground reporting they also hire some rage bait sjw types guess which content gets more money yeah so guess who eventually falls off the budget look that would be you well not me i quit right i left i they probably would have kept me there forever yeah if i was still there yeah and pushed you further and further away though because you you didn't fall in line with what they were doing though you know no with vice i don't see i don't see you no no no with vice i was playing i was doing everything they wanted oh okay yeah i mean vice was was developing things around what i was doing like yeah it's it's it's complicated but shane of course

it is well yeah of course it's not so simple especially building vice news but shane said at the knight foundation award someone asked him like you ever think you do vice would be doing on of course well yeah of course it's not so simple especially building vice news but shane said at the knight foundation award someone asked him like do you ever think you do vice would be doing on the ground reporting and he was like no it wasn't until you know tim pool came and i think he's sitting right over there and i was like oh wow i already quit at that point and i was like i appreciate it man so they they didn't want to do it it was difficult they were resisting i was like i want to do field reporting and they're like we don't do that we do documentary stuff and i'm like i want to do it yeah and And they're like, we don't do that. We do documentary stuff. And I'm like, I want to do it. And then Rocco, who's working on scanner now was actually a big advocate. Like you got to look at what this dude's doing. It's crazy.

So they started building stuff around it, but I could see where things were going because it was slowly turning into a corporate machine. And I knew where that would turn, what that would become. But there's, there's another, there's another big aspect to this right so i ended up joining fusion and at first these companies weren't infected the infection spreads to them right vice is actually all right yeah you know vice was was making money off being like the opposite of a lot of these social justice companies for one reason or another more like having to do with the accus the sexual harassment accusations against higher ups advice, they started adopting this stuff. And I think it has to do a lot with the investors who are looking at these other companies and they were like, this is what we have to do to avoid these scandals. But the infection hit the people who are more likely to write articles to

get traffic were social justice, rage bait writers. So they were more likely to keep their jobs because they got the views, they made the money, and the companies became social justice rage bait outlets. And that was the spread of the infection. And it's funny because a lot of people would say things like, you know, Tim Pool doesn't get it. You know, this was a year, it's like 2014 stuff, 2015. And when they were talking about Gamergate and like video games being infected with social justice stuff.

Yeah, yeah. And I was like, the video game stuff it's actually really really obvious how that all started let's say you write for a video game outlet okay what do you write about today video game come out of something destiny me personally yeah yeah i mean i would be talking about the game the mechanics of the game what game uh probably right now i'd probably talk about revenant and uh the new stuff that's coming out. No, it's been out for a little bit, but it's not really well known,

and it's an incredibly fun game. What do you write about tomorrow? Probably a different game. I would just go through all the games I've played in the past. What's the news, though? It's a news outlet. You're not just doing reviews.

It's the news. What's the news, man? Did something happen in gaming? I could probably talk about the deer person, but that's a one-off. Then what? I would stick to the games. As much as I could. The answer is

you can't. It's impossible. What is news in games? A game's coming out. A game's getting reviewed. That's what I would be focused on. Some of these journalistic gaming sites would do a big en like, encyclopedia. Basically like a game guide. Okay.

So some of these gaming outlets, you'd go there and you'd see, like, a ton of articles about how to do certain things. But when your job is to write five articles a day and it's about gaming, what do you write about, man? What do you do? Well, I wrote four articles. That's every game coming out this month. Now I got to write five articles every day for the rest of the month? Social justice fake controversy. They make it up.

Like that woman we mentioned about the Ivanka Trump article. For those that aren't familiar, it was this article that said, okay, Ivanka Trump responded to Elon Musk. Oh, right. Elon Musk said, take the red pill. Ivanka said, okay, Ivanka Trump responded to Elon Musk. Oh, right. Elon Musk said, take the red pill. Ivanka said, taken. And she writes 400 words about incels and misogyny and what this really means about Ivanka.

And I'm like, bro, she said a five-letter word. Calm down. I know. What word? She stuffed everything in there. Everything. Yep. And so she might not even do that on purpose. That could just be that like... I ran out of steam and I need to write another one. No.

She's the natural crazy person who writes crazy nonsense whose articles work. She might not be consciously being like, hmm, how do I craft a lie? And so what happens, a lot of these companies, people think that journalists are like told to do this and they do. Nah, man. They're the ones who survived. The industry is collapsing.

You know, the Atlantic just laid off 20% of its staff. Yeah. Who do you think stayed? Do you think the, let me tell you something, man. Go to an investor. That's a good point. Go to an investor. All right.

And tell them this. I want to start a news company and we're going to do a really big news investigation. Okay. Investors are going to do a really big news investigation. Okay. Investors are going to ask you how much that costs. First year, full investigation. We're going to need at least two other people on staff. We're going to need a travel budget. We're going to need equipment. Oh man, to get off the ground for a good investigative reporter, we're talking like a hundred K. Like I'm talking like a good one, like an award-winning, like we're going to, this is going to be big, right? Yeah. Okay. Let's, let's, let let's let's let's roll that down it's gonna be a new company we got some young

upstarts we're gonna pay them 50 because they live in New York and this is their demand because other companies pay comparably so we've got two people at 50 we're gonna buy a bunch of cameras we're gonna put probably you know 30 or 40 in production so I'm gonna need like 100 200 just in staffing then I'm gonna need like 50 in office space. And then I'm going to need probably like 100 in travel and everything else. So let's just call it 300K. Investor's going to say, all right, sounds good. What's our projection after one, three or five years? And you're going to say nothing, nothing and nothing. Okay. Well, hold on, man. You're asking me for $300,000. What do you mean? Nothing.

Right. Nothing. We might not even get the story, bro. You're asking me for $300,000. What do you mean? Nothing. Right. Nothing. We might not even get the story, bro. We might spend a year investigating and nothing comes out of it. And that budget we're asking for, it's for one year. You want to talk a three-year budget? We'll need a million dollars. Not to mention inflation costs, salaries, and everything.

So you mean to tell me, I'm the investor, you mean to tell me that you want a million dollars for a three-year operation with no guarantees of anything produced? Get out of here. I'm not paying for that. That's nuts. And another guy walks up and says, buddy, buddy, I'll tell you what. You give me five grand right now. I'll hire a freelancer for a hundred bucks to write me some nonsense about some racist video gamer. I'll make a $2,000 return like that overnight. We're just going to gain the algorithm. Five grand. That's it. Yup. Five grand. That's it. What do I get out of that i think i'd turn into 50 how long you know a couple weeks deal there you go now people are being inundated with this across the board you look at cnn they're struggling they're burning to the ground so what do they do let's play the game baby yeah let's play the game you think that infection that you're talking about the sj SJW clickbaity stuff, that's kind of the reason why all these Karens are going nuts

because they're, well, look at what's being spread around on the internet. This must be the way life is. They're turning into it. The toxic masculinity. Well, look, these are the articles that are being shared. This must be the way things are. Kind of, yes. The infection's growing into people's minds now.

It's not making them Karens. It's activating the Karen gene. There it is. You know making them Karens. It's activating the Karen gene. There it is. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like the X gene. So what happens is if they see nothing but content where it tells them people not wearing masks, bad.

What do they do? You ever see Invasion of the Body Snatchers? No, we've referenced it. And people have yelled at me to watch it because it's supposed to be great. Let me pull up this tweet that I posted. I got to do some navigating. But Cassandra Fairbanks, who is funny, she posted this clip from these these Karens who are screeching at somebody for not wearing a mask. Oh, yeah, I've seen it.

And so I posted I posted a video and I want to play the sound. Oh, no, I probably can't play the sound. I think we might be able to. Anyway, I'll just show you the image. Oh, this is from the movie? Yeah, so here, watch. This is Donald Sutherland. She walks up, and then he goes like this.

And he's just screaming so loud. It's like ear slaying. But, yeah, we'll get flagged if I play it. He's like, ooh, ooh. That's beautiful. Because he's been body snatched. He's been I play it. He's like, ooh, ooh. That's beautiful. Because he's been body snatched. He's been body snatched. He's like, ooh.

That's the joke I make, right? Yeah, yeah. So that's what happens. The Karen gene. People want to fit in, right? Yeah. And so they don't want to be ostracized. If the only thing they see every day, they're being inundated by the same narrative, a narrative

that makes no sense, then they just say, like, whatever that is same, same narrative. A narrative makes no sense. Then they just say like, whatever that is. Right. Yeah. Well, it makes sense to them. No, it doesn't make sense. And they know it. That's why they don't do interviews.

I don't know. Absolutely. That's why they don't do interviews, man. They don't, they don't want to because they know they're, they have no ideology. They have, all they have is the tribe, the collective. Yeah. And if they defy it, they'll get canceled. And the rules change every day.

So if you do an interview and you say something about them, tomorrow the rule might be different. So anyway, here's the point I was going to make about the video of the Hitler dancing. You can see all of the weird keywords mashed together that makes no sense. But in order to exploit an adult, you need to take things that make sense and then present it in a way where they're like, I know what these things are. And then you need to figure out how you can connect them. That's why the rules change so often, because it doesn't make sense at all. Like what is or isn't offensive makes literally no sense.

But mash all of these different political causes into one and you end up with like the Muslim LGBT alliance where you have in the uk muslims showing up to protest the lgbt curriculum in what was it in birmingham i think so or you know whatever like elementary school elementary school was doing lgbt curriculum muslims protested it and they were fighting with each other yet intersection like actually a better example than this too is r slash atheism on reddit it is a subreddit a forum with millions of people dedicated to ragging on religion okay but for the most part just christians i mean you can't rag on muslims they're an oppressed minority you know and so there was like recently a really funny post where it was someone criticizing islam

and all of the comments were walking on eggshells. Look, if you want to talk about Christianity, they're like, these backwater yokel morons, so stupid, Trump chuds, and they just go nuts ragging on Christians. Islam, they were like, you know, I think it's fair to say

we can criticize and talk critically. Unfortunately, too much of these people have hidden motives. And it's like, are you kidding me, dude? Like, you want to rag on religion, rag on religion, bro. Where'd all that internet sass go? It's about what's safe. And, you know, it's interesting because we did an event. There's a group called Mythicist Milwaukee.

Okay. We did an event. They did an event in Milwaukee. I showed up at the last minute. And there's like an interesting break in the atheist community and i think there's this really weird thing that happened in the early 2010s okay where the left and the right like spun in a weird way and then split in half so it's's like... Like a polar shift. Not really. Maybe, maybe. Maybe like a polar shift.

But you now have... Like there are people I know who made lefty anti-war videos. They're now suit-wearing MAGA hat dudes. And I'm like, how did that happen? How did that happen? That's a change for sure. Hashtag walk away. For sure. But there are people who are a lot like us who for

the most part are the exact same talk about the exact same things but everything else shifted around us yeah definitely so like the best example is these people at vice being like man you changed dude like what happened and i'm like bro remember when you wrote that edgy article yeah i'm like i didn't even write that there's one dude who became an overt SJW. And then people looked at his history writing for Vice. And they were like, bro, you are the most racist, sexist we've ever seen. Yeah. And he was like, oh, well, I mean, I disavow my past.

And they're like, don't care. You're canceled. And like, just light him up online. Like, just go at him like crazy. But these are the people that just, they're the grifters. And they accuse everyone else of being a grifter. It's sad, dude. When, like, I have good friends that I've known for years and, like, we'd hang out, we'd have a good time to hear what they're saying now.

And I'm, like, directly breaking the law. Their companies are advocating for things that are outright illegal. How do you, oh, just like hiring those people? Yeah. And I'm like, how do you, how do you go from being like, we need the civil rights act to prevent discrimination in the hiring process to two years later being like, I'm going to hide, I'm going to discriminate against the people I'm hiring. It's like, so it's illegal to say, I want to hire this specific type of person for the most part. Yes. Okay. Like if you came, if there was a job posting that said, you know, we're looking for a janitor but men only okay super illegal if it said christians only illegal if it said americans only

illegal like even even i think national origin is yeah yeah yeah so so now what's happening is you've got people putting putting up posts being like we're only hiring women we're only doing this there are exceptions for modeling entertainment performance for obvious reasons. And there are some exceptions that can be argued in court. Like, that's what the point of judges are for, right? Like, copyright infringement and fair use. Literally everything is copyright infringement that's under fair use, but it's an exemption.

So you can be sued and then you'll win on a fair use grounds. Okay. So like, when I show a news article and I'm talking about it and reading it and commenting. Yeah. Yeah, technically that's infringement. Right. Except it's fair use. So, you know.

Because it's public. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when it comes to these like employment violations. Like think about who was posting these jobs like, you know, so-and-so need not apply in the 60s long-haired freaky people you gotta apply right long-haired freaky people i think you're allowed to discriminate against long-haired freaky people no i'll never work again long-haired freaky people today it's like what am I supposed to say to somebody who's become like a hardcore racist? And they're in the dogma. And it's like the craziest thing is it's all tied together with politics.

Yeah. So the lockdown is part of it, too. These same people. What makes it even worse, though, it becomes part of their like emotions, you know, so even having a logical conversation with someone like that like you ask like how do you talk to someone like that you almost can't you can't because as soon as you go against what they believe they get triggered and you you can't have a logical peaceful conversation because they their emotions just shoot through the roof and then that starts driving you know it's their world everything they're talking about yeah you're going against

their worldview and that's you you don't do that. As soon as you do that, boom, emotions take over. Same thing. It's crazy how like. Even food, you know, talking about people, like people get triggered whenever the word vegan comes around. It's like, oh my gosh, triggered. And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't care about what you eat.

Don't even say it. It's like the other day he said, you know, oh man, vegans talking about food. And it's like, it wasn't even me in the room. Yeah, it was't care about what you eat. Don't even say it. It's like the other day he said, you know, man, vegans talking about food. And it's like, it wasn't even me. Yeah, it was me talking about it. You were talking about it, you know? And it's like that's getting you. There's a trigger that happens against the worldview. It's like, you know,

that happens pretty much to everyone on different levels, but especially in this situation. You know what I mean? Exactly. So it's like when people bring up the vegan stuff, it's usually not as heated as the political stuff. Absolutely, yeah.

But people always get heated about. Well, when you get crazy vegans, which there's certainly crazy vegans out there, you know, they'll attack even me for having like a pet, you know. Having pets to some vegans is like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're using them as love slaves. And it's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, PETA will come. That's what humans have done for a long time.

Like, okay. Anyway, it's pretty funny. It's impossible to have a conversation with somebody who's adopted a dogmatic worldview. And what blows my mind is that right now, the religious right are the ones begging for the conversation. Yeah, that's a good point. And I think Ben Shapiro is a great example. How often he's had calm conversations

about what he thinks and what he believes. Even if he's wrong. Even if people call him out. Even if they make videos on YouTube where they're like, here's Ben Shapiro being wrong. He doesn't scream at people and freak out. He conceded. He has his debates. Yeah, but that's what we need. How did we come to a point where this inversion happened, where

Jon Stewart was making fun of everybody, and it was funny, and you had George Carlin, and it was like, oh man, these authoritarian... It's like the libertarian shift happened. Maybe it's like the pendulum of libertarianism. And it was on the left for a while, now it's on the right for a while. And it's like authoritarianism goes up, and then it goes down, it goes back and forth, or whatever.

Now it's the right. And while. That kind of makes sense. And it's like authoritarianism goes up and then it goes down, it goes back and forth or whatever. Yeah. Now it's the right. And so if you're mostly just a libertarian type, you are now more likely to have a good conversation with Trump supporters, conservatives. And if not with the left. Yeah, you can't further yourself

if you're just only going to believe what you believe. You have to hear the other side of it to you know oh how do you know it's it's dark at night well because it's bright during the day and then it gets dark at night i looked out my window yeah let me stop you right there buddy that's the most i don't need to look out the window to know when night and day is okay yeah it's hilarious okay here's another example of like the the just just the dementia that's affecting this group of people. Somebody commented in reply to Trump, these Trump apply guys, and they said something like,

you know, there's only ever been one instance of known voter fraud from mail-in voting, and it was a Republican. And so I quoted that in saying, whoa, a Republican tried cheating with mail-in voting. That's a good reason for Democrats to oppose it. I didn't say I was for or against mail-in voting. I was poking fun at the argument that you're accusing Republicans of cheating and being in favor of mail-in voting. Like, how does that make sense? Right? Right. And so then someone responded with, are you seriously opposed to mail-in voting? You MAGA Trumpsters need to blah, blah, blah. It's like some high profile guy who said this. Someone responded with Tim lays out his position in the evidence here and links one of my videos. His immediate response was, let me stop you right there, buddy. I don't need to

watch a video to understand that these people are stupid, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like my position was for the most part, we do have evidence of voter fraud. We shouldn't be changing the rules of an election six months before an election. That seems nonsensical. You can say the same for about literally any, I don't care if they're Republican, Democrat. If you want to change the rules, you want mail-in voting, you got to do it beforehand. Pandemics happen. You can't argue, but we're in an emergency now. Yeah. Okay. Well then where's your emergency provision for how elections are dealt with during an emergency? You can't just sign an executive decree and mail out ballots and be like, we've changed the whole thing. So this is a person who says, I don't need to see the evidence.

I'm just going to whinge. That's what's happening nowadays. I like it. Yeah, that's the thing to do. And you know what, man? Let's do this. Let's jump to this UBI thing I want to talk about. Do I have this?

Let's talk about universal basic income and Starship Troopers. have you ever seen starship troopers yeah service guarantee we've talked about a lot on the show actually have we service guarantees comes up a lot huh service guaranteed citizenship yeah basically oh there we go so here's what i was getting to right so in the previous segment we're talking about you have a bunch of people who refuse to read evidence, who refuse to watch videos and just want to be angry. And these people vote. And that voting impacts how society functions. And they vote for people who exploit their unwillingness to actually read and understand and engage. So the example I used was someone who said, like, someone sends him a video of, like, here's Tim's opinion.

And they go, let me stop you right there. I don't need to watch a video. It may prove me wrong, so I'm not going to watch it. It's not even that. It's like people... Oh, that's in there. They're just, their brains are closed.

Like, I know. I don't need anybody to show me anything. I know. And that person goes and votes. So that gets me thinking, like, I'm, for the most part, not in favor of the Starship Troopers argument about service guaranteed citizenship. But I think it's an interesting idea we're talking about.

Or just the simple right to vote if you serve. What do you mean? Well, I mean, it's one thing to become a citizen, but then you can be a citizen, but then have the ability to vote. I know they're not exactly the same thing. For those that aren't familiar with Starship Troopers, it's basically like everyone has equal rights but only citizens vote. So what do they call it? Civilians and citizens, right? Oh, okay. Is that what it was?

Man, it's been too long since I've seen this movie. And the book apparently was like a lot better. But basically, all the civilians have equal rights free speech whatever if you want to vote you have to sign up for i think was it two years i think so yeah and then after two years you become a citizen and now you have you enjoy you know the right to vote and run for office and elect people and it's funny because a lot of people on the left have claimed starship troopers is a model of fascism where it's like you have to serve the military before but i don't think that's even true for this for the book i think it was like civil service not military service i'm entirely sure yeah i don't know i want to talk about universal basic basic income but i'll first ask you what

do you think about that idea uh well i mean what do you what's what would be a civil service you know like uh working at the post office or i guess you know dmv so working a regular job that is in the government something you know working on roads fixing roads cleaning up the side of the highway like what that kind of stuff probably i mean yeah something like that and that could include military service okay but military service doesn't mean combat. That's what a lot of people don't understand, too. They think it means you're going to go out with a gun. That's actually the response I got from Cameron Kasky.

I don't know if you know who he is. He's one of the survivors from Parkland who did a big press. He got a bunch of press after the Parkland shooting. He's a cool dude. I think he's a cool dude. But his response to me. So here's what I said. Here's what I said. What if universal basic income came with mandatory

civil service? The army is recruiting and they pay your bills and college, right? I wasn't saying everyone should have to join the army in order to get universal basic income. I was making a point about how there is an easy path to getting government wages, college, healthcare, and join the army. You know what i mean true one example of civil service his response was let's throw free speech in there too why have the right to speak if you haven't almost been killed and there's a lot wrong with with with his immediate response it's like first of all yeah a lot of people in the army like desk clerks you know what i mean it's like you know you know the the story of the covington kids. The kids who were standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial?

Oh, and they... Native Americans banging the drums? They were wearing MAGA hats? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. Native American guy was like, I'm a Vietnam-era veteran. Yeah, he was a refrigerator repairman in, like, Tulsa or something. Oh, okay.

Yeah, do you know what city he was in? I don't know. Yeah, he was just, like, a refrigerator repairman. People seem to think that, like, joining the Army means they're, like, parachuting you into Afghanistan. Vietnam-era. Yeah, Vietnam-era. Indeed. Because he didn't actually do anything and he got like discharged i don't know what happened to that guy but that's that's like the immediate reaction people have

they assume like any service to the government is like i don't know death patrol or something yeah so so for those that aren't familiar with what universal basic income is i assume most of you are it's a guaranteed income from the government. So I asked the question. That's it. I didn't say we should do it this way. It should be this way. I was like, what if? What if UBI was mandatory civil service? Meaning everybody got a guaranteed wage and then you had to do some kind of civil service for some kind of period. I didn't even say what is the question i think that would raise the general uh what's the term i'm looking for just respect for your land and your your neighbor you know because doing civil service you're helping others that's essentially what it is you know so i feel a lot of people kind of

lose themselves in just maintaining their own personal lives and they don't let they don't let others affect them they don't do they don't care about other people they just maintaining their own personal lives. And they don't let others affect them. They don't care about other people. They just do their own thing. And that tends to lead to things that people get greedy, whatever. I'm sure there's many different ways. But the more you help others, the more empathy you gain. And I think that's a big problem with humans nowadays.

For sure. I think if there was like, i think we used to have more community based programs and now everything's fractured exactly yeah like virtual yeah we need that back but here's what i was thinking about this right i'm thinking about civil service and universal basic income and what's really funny is the resistance from those who would typically support ubi okay how dare you tell me i would have to work to receive money? That's kind of telling. It should be a right. A universal, I'm like, and there we go. Yeah, okay.

Listen. It should be a right to live for free. If you don't want to give, why should you get? Yeah, I agree with that. Someone has, so the point I made in response to him. Someone's got to work. Is free speech costs nothing. Burgers, burgers require human labor.

So should people have to contribute in order to receive? If not, then where do the burgers come from? If you have a hundred people and when a hundred of them are saying, I would like a burger, but none of them want to work, then there's no burgers. Yeah. It's that simple. So I was thinking like, Andrew Yang has talked about universal basic income being opt in. If you do, you forego other benefits. Right. So it can actually cut a lot of costs. That does make sense, actually. It doesn't necessarily cover the total cost of UBI. Okay. However, if not everybody signed up for it, then you might actually be able to do it. Now, the challenge, I guess, is for one, it's definitely a huge government,

massive expansion of power and authority and stuff like that for sure it's a good point yeah definitely but uh is it it's not necessarily bad if it's run you know locally and independently locally or something like that but regardless of the merit of whether it's good bad the point is it makes infinitely more sense that if the government is going to be giving you money you should do something for it in which case it's just a national jobs program. Yeah, basically. You know what I mean? And then it's like the green. But I'll tell you what. Are you familiar with the Green New Deal? A little bit.

Yeah, so it was like guaranteed income for those unwilling to work was one of the things they put in their document. That's the one they pulled, though, right? They panicked and were like, I don't know. They got rid of it. It wasn't really our idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so Cato Cortez puts out a frequently asked questions. And it's like, we're going to give income to people unwilling to work. That's the extent they go.

And I'm like, isn't the compromise just create like a federal jobs program where, what if we did like bounties? You know what I mean? Like there could be like a community center where people who work in government, there could be a task required. They'd have a set budget and they would say here's a job that needs to be done and then it would pay a set rate and you could go in and do like freelance government you know contributions or civil service or

something yeah i don't know otherwise what we just give people free stuff i mean you someone can mop a floor and someone could do a terrible job of mopping the floor. I'm just using mopping the floor as a random idea, but it's like, not everyone's going to do the job well. It's like they could mop half the floor and be like, yeah, I did it. Sure, give me my income now. Yeah, it's clean. Sure, whatever.

Right. So in that case, you end up not actually getting anything done. Exactly. Then the government's spending money for people like, yeah, I did the job. And then it ends up being being like they didn't even do the job they just clicked that they did it and then they're getting paid and then it's like somebody actually responded with that that they were like that what happens then is the government hires a bunch of kids to dig holes and a bunch of other kids to fill the holes that they just dig they just dug yeah exactly yeah

you want to hear one of the crazier ideas that may be crazy like Fox is paying people who commit crimes. Hmm. Yeah. That's the punishment. If you commit a crime, they give you money. Huh? Yeah. Have you heard that? Not a very good incentive. No. How does that work? The argument is that it costs us like, you know, $30,000 a year to house an inmate. Okay. thousand dollars a year to house an inmate okay and if a lot of these crimes are property crimes as the result of poverty we're better off giving them strict restrictions like you got to check in

you got to do these things and then we'll give you cash paying criminals not to commit crime is cheaper than actually putting them in jail and it actually stops the crime i like that i mean why wouldn't we go into that? Think about that. That's pretty legit. Because then you encourage people to just become criminals for income. Or not be criminals. I mean, yeah. No, no. You're right.

I see what you're saying. Yeah. So people have these funny ideas where you think about it and you're like, I get it. And then think about what that means. It's like, oh, yeah. Okay. I know. I get it.

You're right. You're going to end up with like, you know, I heard there's a meme about Scandinians okay who want to go to jail because it's awesome because it's nice yeah have you heard that because you actually there's it's funny that you say that because there's a jail that's for sale in her where her parents live and it's like right in the middle of town and it's i'm looking at the building it's beautiful people they got tvs in the room everyone's got a nice window on like the third or fourth floor overlooking the water you got to give context to her so you can just this is my wife this is a this is a small town in sweden it's it's in some islands so it's like

right in the middle of an island it's right in the entrance of the town and it's beautiful i mean it's for sale it's like a i mean it could be in like a dope Airbnb. But it's a jail. But I'm looking at it and I'm like, that does not look like a jail. All the rooms are fairly large for what you would expect a jail cell to look like. And it doesn't look like a cell. So interestingly, one of the arguments for universal basic income is that it would reduce crime because it would reduce poverty. Okay. It's interesting.

And I see this. This is one of the biggest problems just people in general have. Yes, poverty breeds crime. That doesn't necessarily mean giving criminals money will stop crime. Well, that's kind of like, isn't that kind of like saying that if you just give a homeless person a house, you'll solve the problem? I don't actually see that solving the problem because there might actually be some underlying issues

that aren't just not happening. I see another problem is we don't teach, even, you know, whatever class you're in. We are not teaching kids like about money. I didn't learn about money in my school. So like and especially probably in these poverty areas, they're not like teaching like, all right, so if you make some money, don't just go buy stuff. You need to invest properly. Think about what you need in your life.

Like this isn't something that we're even talking about. It's like that also is part of the problem. You know, they get money from the government and like, oh, I'll go buy a new TV instead of you need to use that for what you need to use it for, to pay your rent, to make sure you're eating food correctly, furthering yourself instead of just being part of the system that they want. That's what they want. This is why the question what if is so important in any discussion right and that's why i tweeted what if

i'm not and you get a bunch of emotions being thrown back at you anger and people like you know defensiveness because this is why i find myself in a milquetoast fence sitting position yeah dude there's so much involved in what could happen and what needs to happen before any kind of major overhaul of any kind of program. No one can predict or calculate. So you sit down with a bunch of people, you talk about it. And if eventually you say, I think we've covered as many bases as possible. Let's do a trial run. Well, there you go. If one person just comes out and demands income for people unwilling to work, it's like, dude, you can't just throw a wrench into an engine. You'll break it.

It's not going to change. It's like, I think this cog would go good here. Smash. Yeah, especially when there's like millions and millions and millions of pieces to this engine, which is America, you know? And so it's grinding and everything's going crazy. But I just thought of something when you mentioned that school. What if public schools paid kids for A's, good grades, but it wasn't they just give them cash.

They basically can buy things within the school. Or give them credit for college. It's like school credits. Like a future, you know, you're investing in your future. If you get all A's, you're going to get a percentage off whatever college you go to. No, no, no. I'm just spitballing here. What I'm trying to say is a school would have a local commissary or something.

Okay. Candy bars, sodas, lunches. Sure. And the school will say for every egg you get on a test, you earn five school credits. Five school credits is the equivalent of a dollar or something. Okay. Then the kids actually have an account.

They can look at their accounts. They can balance their accounts. They can see what they can spend on. They can trade credits between each other. Actually give them an understanding of how money works, how to save money. I love it. The schools could have like an interest system. It's not real cash.

It's just like the school could spend $1,000 a month on like a – and it could be pens and pencils and erasers and staplers. Yeah, things they need. Yep. I like that and then a kid could be like you know i got an a on every test in my class now i can go get that you know candy bar i wanted i like that make them actually work and get some benefit from their work and understand the real value of work and what they can buy with it instead what do we do we put kids in institutionalized learning facilities where everything is provided for them

yeah and then finally by the time they graduate with their degree at 22 after college, they're like, tell me what to do, boss. What do I do, boss? Why isn't the government? I need you to do this. Do your job. Yeah. That's why I hired you. And then they vote for communism.

Right. Because they're like, my entire existence was in a room where someone told me what to do and provided for me. Why should I have to figure out how to make food? That's what I want. Nailed it. That's why all these college kids come out and they're like, communism, the authority. You know what's crazy though?

What? I think the general idea of communism can only be bred from children. From the immature. There's a better way to put it. Children is just me doing an emotional dig at these people. Why is that? Yeah, yeah, okay. from the immature. There's a better way to put it. Children are just me doing an emotional dig at these people because I think they're... Yeah, yeah, okay. So I think one of the things we see with millennials

is that they never feel like they're ready to take over. And the best example of this is our three or four 70-year-old, 80-year-old presidential figures. Good point. Now, Tulsi Gabbard, awesome. Pete Buttigieg, awesome. Andrew Yang, awesome.

He's in his 30s, right? Late 30s? Buttigieg. Yeah. Yeah, yep. Buttigieg and Tulsi areabbard awesome Pete Buttigieg awesome Andrew Yang awesome he's in his 30s right late 30s Buttigieg yeah yeah Buttigieg and Tulsi are both like 37 30 I think

that's awesome Yang is what Yang is in his 40s that's what we need younger blood younger blood in the government so it's fair to say we have a decent amount

of political candidates you know who are younger yeah but I think because of how millennials view themselves their children not everybody

like you know clearly you know not us and not probably people watching, to be honest. Yeah. But a lot of them do. They've never grown up. They've never become adults. They don't want to, more importantly.

Definitely. Yeah. They have zero interest. It's way easier. That's scary. They want Grandpa Bernie to take care of them. Yeah. Grandpa Bernie.

Bernie is like, I'm going to get your dinner for you. I'm going to pay for your school. I'm going to give you ice cream. You know what my whole life has been? Man, you're so that that's true it's true yeah i've got to figure out how look dude we have a garden in the back yeah what do we grow we grew radishes we have radishes chives we have carrots of chives you know the crazy the craziest thing who what was that sketch i don't know if you've ever seen it where it's this british dude and he's like, he like looks over, and it's on a camera, and he goes, hey, hey, you want to hear a way

to get rich quick? Check it out. I got these seeds, right? Put them in the ground. That's it. Put some water on them. Food grows up. You can sell it.

It grows right out of the ground. Just like that. You don't got to do anything. And it's like, has someone ever- Genius. Have these young people ever realized that but they're so used to in my opinion things being given to them that they don't have a concept of how to make create source or be independent yeah and so they're not and so they need someone to do things for them it's like have you ever solved a problem

on your own and haven't and now you think about about our last subject about the SJW clickbaity things that everyone's spreading around on the Internet. And it's like that's reaffirming their beliefs that they're owed stuff, that they should get all this stuff. Yeah. So it's just this whole cycle is just never ending and getting worse and worse and worse. It is. It's a problem of human. Like, it's like just human nature. It's the cycle.

It's like Unilever owns both Dove and Ben and Jerry's. Yeah, exactly. And Dove does the real beauty campaign where it's like, you can be overweight. It's no big deal. And then their other property is ice cream. They're like, eat more ice cream. And they also own like the lactose medicine for the belly. You just sell it in one pack.

You know why I always thought that we drink Coke sodas with our Big Macs and fries? Why? Because you're eating a big pile of garbage and slogging up your system, so you need a psychoactive stimulant to get you back to feeling normal. Think about it. Yeah, that's true. Well, it's like a burger is trash and you eat it and you're like, I feel terrible.

Let me take my caffeine, which is a psychoactive stimulant very similar to cocaine and you drink a gallon of it and then you've got... I can handle anything now. Yeah, caffeine makes you euphoric. It enhances muscle endurance, makes you less tired, so you eat trash and then drug yourself to feel better.

I don't like that. People gotta eat better, dude. That's a whole nother subject. But it's an example of how, you know, glutton culture expands and comes to this point where you literally have people who are morbidly obese and unhealthy being told by the media, it's okay to be morbidly obese and unhealthy and eat trash. You're beautiful. You're being oppressed, actually. You take no responsibility for your health.

And look, I'll tell you what, is what I always clarify. If you know the risks and choose to do it, I don't care. Right. But if you think you have no responsibility for your own health and then demand I pay for your health care. Yeah, I have issues with that. It's the perfect example of these people. Dude, let me go out into the woods with a dog.

I'll build my own log cabin. Leave me alone. You people have lost your minds and they just don't want to work. And it's like they just drag everybody down. That's probably one of the most like people are going to be like, oh, man, Tim's going crazy. Red pill law. He's so conservative.

Look, at a certain point, what's the saying? If you're not liberal when you're young, you have no heart. And if you're not conservative when you're older, you have no head. Brain. Yeah. Brain. Well, head is better. It's like, you know, a little illiterate, I guess. But it's not even it's not even about that. I think I think that saying comes from the fact that when these young people finally get their first paycheck and see how much taxes they had to give away, they're like, what? Why? And start asking questions. Now that's a red pill. How much of my money went to killing kids?

Yeah. Woo! No, thank you. Most of it. I got to pay for that guy's health care? He's smoking a pack a day. Yeah. Come on, man.

You know. And eating McDonald's every meal. 100 pounds. Dude, I feel like. Chugging the Coca-Cola. It's the best, it's the best way to like... You know, these young people haven't experienced someone refusing to take responsibility and then demanding they cover for them. Yeah, that's a good point.

Because they're the ones constantly demanding. They become that person. It's getting really bad to the point where like... You have these kids in schools where you might argue... Were you ever in a lab where you had a partner? And the lab partner did no work? Oh, yeah. And you're like, fail unless you help it's like oh dude whatever and you're like and then you end up doing all the work i have that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll turn you into a young conservative for sure but now the kids are just complaining to the teachers they shouldn't have to do it at all and they're calling teachers racist

and he's just like okay i'm sorry class is canceled all right you all get a's yep yeah they're literally doing that and they're arguing they're arguing now with their dogma that like teachers should give better grades for like diversity and inclusion and wait wait you didn't we're canceling you yep yeah and the students will straight up can't that's happened right you know brett weinstein it's like uh one of the funniest stories is that they started spreading lies about him and he's like a progressive lefty guy and so he's like some people approached him i can't remember what happened but they were calling him like a bigot a racist and then he actually started arguing for them like saying it's it's you know humans have inherent bigotry and racism where it's because

we i don't want to i don't want to put words in his mouth but basically the idea is i understand it is humans have a tendency to feel safer around things that are familiar. So they look for people who look like them. So if you try very hard to break down our inherent biases and they're like, what? But you're the you're the white supremacist. Like when their brains go and just broken. Yeah. Yeah.

But but, you know, it's a fun image. Yeah. There's a lot. There's a lot to complain about, I guess. We just it's a random rant today, huh? Yeah. Just like randomly. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know. It's a fun image. Yeah. There's a lot to complain about, I guess. It's a random rant today, huh? Yeah. Just like randomly. Yeah, whatever. Because here we are now with everything locked down.

And it all stems from, you know, it's just, I feel kind of sad. It's like you lose a friend to a cult, you know? That's hard. That's what it feels like, yeah. They say things that clearly make no sense. And when you try talking to them, like, listen, let me just ask you one question. The government should provide the food. Where does the food come from?

The farmers. From the government. I know, but like the government has to get the food from somewhere, right? Right, yeah. Well, they just have it. Like, what's your answer? From the farmers. Okay.

Where do the farmers get the resources to make the food? Like you said, dude, the food just grows out of the ground. yeah who puts it there who pulls it out who's actually doing it driving the truck right they actually have like automatic trucks like tractors now they like drive and do it themselves pretty sure but they have to charge those trucks that's the real argument for you behind my opinion that's why i like andrew yang automation is a real argument like what happens when the factories are totally automated that's a a good point. Like the farms are. Granted, we're not there yet, but we are heading there certainly. Yeah. So this is why, you know, I ask these questions because I don't think, I think the biggest challenge from going from our current capitalistic system to a post-scarcity system,

should we ever, it's the middle period where there's a hybrid of it. This is one of the things I brought up on the Rogan podcast last month. We're going to end up with a period where there's a hybrid of it. This is one of the things I brought up on the Rogan podcast last month. We're going to end up with a period where there's people who have to work and people who can't. What happens when 90% of your population doesn't have to work and 10% does? Kind of like what we're seeing with essential workers. People have to go out and do all this hard work while we get a $600 bonus for not working. That's exactly what's happening. That's like kicking them in the balls, being like, you work for less.

We are going to watch TV and play video games for the next two months and get extra money to do it. Yeah, that's nice. The extra money thing is part of the problem. But either way, could you imagine living in a society where you had a surf class that had to do the labor while you didn't? It's like the Hunger Games. Yeah, it does feel like it. I understand it's kind of honorable. We're like, we're going to have UBI and we're going to get to that point where everybody is free.

Never going to happen, bro. They're all heroes for working. Good job, heroes. I'm going to go back to watching my YouTube videos. And we're going to pay them less. Here's the best part. You guys ready for this? And then we should definitely take super chats.

While they're advocating for UBI in America, they ignore every other country. So I'll give you this example. Let's say America right now enacted UBI. Everyone in this country got $2,000 a month, two grand. So you know what happens? This, you know, SJW type, whatever is all like, this is the money I'm owed. And they order a Samsung or an Apple product off the internet. And they give that sweet, sweet money to Apple. Then Apple takes that money, counts it, smiles, and then presses the button at the Foxconn factory where people on the roofs are walking off in mass committing suicide because they're

basically slaves crammed in boxes. You can have your UBI and the things you buy will come from countries that basically treat people like slaves. When we got to get the raw materials for the products you consume in America as a wealthy country, sure, we're a wealthy nation. We can spread the wealth all consume in America as a wealthy country. Sure. We're a wealthy nation. We can spread the wealth all around each and every one of you. And then you need to realize the microphones you get, the computers you get are composed of products and elements that are mined from the earth. I watched a documentary about dudes mining sulfur and their

teeth fall out of their mouth. They're like 26. It's crazy. They jam rags in their mouths because we don't want to do it. So these, these people who are like, it's only fair that we get money. It's like, well, what about the people in these countries that are like enslaved? Yeah, the reason your phone is even under $1,000 is because they got it made in another country that's dirt cheap. Where people – Where they're paying nothing – the people working on them nothing so they can make a killer profit on you. That to them is okay. And that exposes everything about this fake ideology.

Yeah. I shouldn't have to work in exchange for the money. And then when I get it, I don't care if other people in, you know, in the Foxconn labs are enslaved. I was talking, I have a friend and I was talking about this and I said, I don't believe you genuinely want to fix the world the way you describe it. I think what you really want to do is save your town, your friends, and your family. And she was like, that's not true. I'm here fighting for everybody. I was like, no, it's not. You've got a Samsung

computer that's made at the Foxconn lab. Those people are committing suicide in mass. And she was like, they are? And I'm like, you didn't even bother to read this. You don't know about it. Listen, man, you tell me you want to fight for the world. I hear you. It's idealistic. I get it. But you've done no research on what's going on in the world. You have done no research to source where your tools and your wealth comes from. And you're acting like you're in this, you know, marginalized position while you're on top of the top of the world, exploiting these underprivileged people around the planet.

And to you, that's OK. Yep. Nah, man. Have you ever seen The Good Place? Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, a little bit of spoilers. It's kind of an old show, but basically everyone's going to hell.

Yeah. There hasn't been someone to go into heaven for like hundreds and hundreds of years. And they're like, when they find out, they like try to go to the judge. And they're like, well, look what's happening. You know, this person buys an apple and that apple was from a country and whatever and it was exploit exploitation and the judge was like well they can do they can search that information can't they and they're not so whatever let them go to hell and it's like it's got a point that's exactly it look i get it man you can improve things in your own country but it's funny to me that like i'm fully accepting of all

this stuff like i get it and that's part of what gives me my my my you know world view like this thing right here what is this thing yeah this is the thing we use to spin the ufo it's a it's an air duster i'm sure we'll use it in a little bit i bet this thing is made in china of course it is and it's probably made by some dude who's wearing you know cargo shorts covered in oil and dirt in his bare feet and he's assembling things with a little handy screwdriver and he gets paid like a dollar a day. And then we get to have our cheap products.

Maybe we should be more conscious. I think the polls have shown most people don't want to buy stuff made from China anymore. It's a good thing. On that note, I've been saying let's bring it back to America. Someone argued it to me and they were saying about the well, the minimum wage, products would be more expensive.

And I said, good. That'll stop this fast, I use fast fashion because it's pretty much across the board of everything. Everything is cheap. We need to bring it back to having quality products. I've had the same phone for four years. I don't plan on getting a new phone. I don't need to get a new phone.

This phone is great. It works for me. Don't update it. I'm certainly not. Well, actually, I could because it doesn't include the new contact trace and stuff. No, no, no. What? It does?

It'll slow the phone down so you can't use it anymore. I thought that was illegal, didn't they? Apple does that. I thought Apple. I think they still do that. No, they got sued for it, didn't they? Yeah. That's the story I heard.

Well, either way, regardless, it's the story but either way that that's regardless it's like if we make quality products that last a long time they we can spend more money because we're not replacing it every year we're not having to replace it it just lasts and then we can even fix it you know yep i don't understand how that that doesn't come into play when people are talking about american-made products it's like i I have a friend who, who, who made a new clothing company. It's called 1620. I just ordered some awesome product. Uh, they don't endorse this or anything. I'm just, uh, give them a shout out. It's guaranteed for life and get a pair of pants. If it, if it falls apart, send it to them, they'll fix them or send you a new pair. It's like, that's what I'm talking about. They're a little expensive, but it's worth

it because I, I, I've been wearing the same clothes. I wear the same clothes. I don't need new clothes. It's like once my clothes fall apart, I'll get new clothes. You know, it's like, you know, that's, there's a mentality thing that needs to change. I just, I guess one of the challenges you can't get past evil people like they will exist.

Yeah, they will exist. They will exploit. And I was thinking about, you mentioned this there there's fake photos that go around of trump hats okay and then someone will hold it and they'll flip it over and say made in china those are fake really they're meant specific they're fake hats specifically made to lie about the president makes sense of course trump makes his stuff in america dude yeah there's there was like ab some news outlet did a tour of like the trump hat factory and it's like all the maga hats all the trump hats, that's the smear.

These people are evil. They do it because they want quick access to power. Anybody who comes to you and says, I should be able to have all of your resources but not do work for it, question this person. Or to cancel the people in power that are challenging their ways. That's the way to get the power. I'll tell you one quick story, and then we'll jump to the Super Chats. Because I was down at Occupy Wall Street, and I had some people tell me this. The goal was to flip the power. I'll tell you one quick story and then we'll jump to the super chats. Because I was down at Occupy Wall Street.

And I had some people tell me this. The goal was to flip the pyramid. You know the pyramid? Yeah. You got the working class. You got the merchant class. You got the bourgeoisie, whatever. They said, we're going to flip it over.

And I said, does that mean that the landlords and owners will be on the bottom with the least amount? And that the working class will be on top or does it mean that when you flip the pyramid over the bricks all tumble down and it forms a new heap in the shape of a broken pyramid with at least one or two former working class people on top right basically and they said that's exactly it they did not expect and this is a couple of activists they did not expect the pyramid to flip over and stay perfectly like a perfect structure. Yeah. They expected it to flip over and then all the bricks tumble down. And then it becomes a jagged, broken heap with them on top. What's that saying?

You got to break a few eggs? Well, it's like, yeah, you have a perfect pyramid. It's designed. It's very pretty. And there's some things missing. And it's kind of gross. They want to destroy everything that meant they would be the ones in power. And then everyone else falls down to the bottom again.

All I can think of is your song, The Will of the People. Exactly. Just the next person is going to step up and get that power, get a taste of it, and want more of it, and then become the top of the pyramid. It's the same thing. That's all it is. And everyone's, everyone, when you, this is how you get Civil War. When you have these Karens on Facebook inundated with all this intersectionality garbage, they're convinced this worldview is true and just. Yeah, exactly. And then they body snatches you.

And then they attack you. They get violent. And they've done it. So now when you have people screeching and reeling about not wearing a mask, it's like, dude, I get it. I have no problem wearing a mask. But this video is ridiculous. What made these people go insane? If someone's not wearing a mask it's like dude i get it you're like i have no problem wearing a mask but this video is ridiculous like what made these people go insane if someone not wearing a mask walk away yeah like what what gives don't get in his face and yell at him dude it's a bit it's mob mentality it's supposed to the masks are supposed to prevent you know close proximity

spit or whatever you're getting in their face you're increasing your chance if they have something or you have some you're increasing the chances it's spreading like the people who rushed full speed into the stores to grab the toilet paper when a pandemic was fighting slapping each other it's a pandemic here's the best part oh the last and last part which i brought super chats is these same people saying i can't believe how dumb these people are. They would, someone tweeted, you're really going to risk everyone's life so you can go to Taco Bell. I'm like, I saw that tweet. I kid you not. And I was like, oh no. Okay, dude, first Taco Bell never closed. All right. Taco Bell is running drive-thrus. No one's risking anything by going to Taco Bell. Second of all,

you didn't even read any of the science that's come out so far that has said the lockdown may have backfired, the lockdown wasn't effective, that certain countries that didn't lock down did better. And now we have the New York Times straight up saying Democrat areas did worse than Republican areas. Republican areas were less likely to lock down and less scared of this. Yet they still don't read a single thing. And they're like, we're the smart ones. Emotions. Yep. My tribe is correct. We've done no research. Let me stop you there. I don't need to actually read any of this

research, these studies, or these newspapers, because I know what's best. You, on the other hand, refuse to accept science. That's a good Karen. It's like, oh my God, dude, listen. Karen Poole. And so, I think conservatives have been really lucky that they've fallen on the right side of this more often than not.

Yeah. And it's partly due, I think, to the fact that conservative media is more critical and analytical. But you certainly have a lot of people on the right who don't want to read either. It just so happens that, like, everybody was, you know, when it came to Russiagate, it was all tribalism. Yeah. You know, there were a lot of people who fell on the right because Russiagate was nonsense. And it was, like, was like confusingly like what is this weird conspiracy garbage yeah we're finding out that it's not even true and even still they

bring it up right there's it's been debunked proven like it's been debunked endlessly and they still use it like oh russia russiagate and it's like what what are you oh you're living in a hole right right sjw hole okay there. Well, they're the resistance. There's one really funny point. Someone tweeted, they were like, isn't it funny that the group that called themselves the resistance immediately buckled down to bend over for the government the moment they said stay in your home?

That's some resistance you got there. Stunningly brave. Yeah, man. It's particularly frustrating because to loop it all back and tie it with a nice little bow, my friend coming to me saying you know we need to have you know government guarantees and going full sjw and i'm like nothing i could send you no amount of proof and you know what it is there really are grifters i'm not going to name these people but i've been i've been having a tiff with someone. And it's become apparent to me.

It's like, dude, are you faking this? You think it's true? You think that's what's happening? I know some people who are lying about everything. You think it's just to fit in to their surrounding? Money, money, money. Money, okay. They accuse me of the same thing.

They say, Tim only has his opinions. The funniest thing to me is when they say that I used to be lefty and and then became right wing i'm like bro you're not right wing i was at occupy wall street and in 2011 i said to them you shouldn't be making decisions based on race in 2011 it's 2020 you shouldn't be making decisions based on race your words people your words no no no no no no i know but that's that's the thing it's like and back in 2011, that's what you were saying. When I worked for Fusion, I made some points about like journalism. And it was like stuff you're dealing with Gamergate and men's rights. And my approach was we should interview, you know, the activists on both, you know, both sides of the issue.

And they were like, that's white supremacy and so then because of this because of some video that we promoted that mocked political correctness they started probably like behind the scenes calling me a white supremacist and i'm like bro i didn't yeah it's funny it's like white people yeah white white white people telling the the mixi over here mixi and that's what's funny to me it's like bro you guys are you guys are so racist, dude. I'm not even here. You know, they tell me I changed. And I'm like, sorry, dude. Like, I've been listening to George Carlin, Joe Rogan, Dave Chappelle, you know, Ricky Gervais. Have not changed my, you know, some of my pigeons have changed for sure. But for the most part, these people have gone nuts.

Anyway, there's the whole hour and a half rant for whatever reason. We're going to read Super Chats. You know, before we do, I just want to give a shout out to everyone in the service to our country. I mean, today is Memorial Day after all. Oh, yeah, for sure. You know, my brother's in the service. He's in the Marines. And we have so many people have died for us and our country.

And this is not a partisan issue. I don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican, you know, if you are against the wars that they're fighting, they're still out there fighting and dying for us. So I just want to give mad respect to all those people that are currently fighting for us, have fought for us in the past that are still with us, have died for us. And thank you, because everyone tries to make it, you know, something other than what it is. And I don't care if you agree with the wars or not. You're still out there fighting for us.

I really appreciate you. So thank you. Amen. You're here. For me, like one of the biggest factors for a president is that they've served. Straight up. It's one of the reasons I like Tulsi Gabbard. Plus, you know, her anti-war stance, anti-regime change war stuff.

Yeah. Half the time, it doesn't look like Trump enjoys his job even, but he's doing it. You know, it's like he has golf a lot. Yeah. I don't care. How dare he golf? First time in three months this time. Oh, well.

That's a good point. Since February, right? Yeah, he's been super busy. I'm so over like every complaint, every time. It's like, shut up. Unless you're going to come to me and say Trump, you know, was like boiling babies or something i'm not interested oh what's that you said you'd vote for joe biden even if he did do you see that article what's wrong the woman who said she'd vote for joe biden even if he was boiling babies and eating them god yep okay i don't understand it clearly there's not why biden

can do no wrong and trump can only do wrong right i'm out yeah you're not you're not being honest all right we got it we got to read some of these super chats now. Yeah, thanks everybody. I.B. Ripitum says, I've been diagnosed with Rancid 19, the world's most dangerous fart disease. Cuomo will have me arrested if I fart within six feet of another person. Well, that's understandable. Careful. Careful, I.B.

Carson Snachick says, are you gonna talk about the escalating tension in Kashmir? Even China's getting involved. Looks like conflict is looming. I will check that out. Kyle Buchanan says, Y'all three have a wonderful Memorial Day. Remember why we celebrate it.

Star Trek or Halo to be the future of humanity. Lydia, stay beautiful. Oh, thank you. David Caballero says, Hey guys, what are your thoughts on Eurovision? I had the Icelandic song Think About Things stuck in my head all weekend. Eurovision is not a thing in the States. I don't know what that is. I actually know all about it because I've actually lived in Sweden

periodically over the past couple of years. So I've been privy to it. And there's some good music that comes out of it. There was that metal band, I think from Poland or something, that did awesome or maybe, I don't know if it's where they were from, but they won a few years back and it was like some awesome metal music and it's crazy there's it doesn't there's

no genre that does better it's always the musicians that are good so I've seen I haven't seen anything this must be some of the new Eurovision stuff that's going on right now I don't know anything about it but I'll check it out think about things is that the name of the song there yeah I'll check it out yeah cool Ben Things. Is that the name of the song there? Yeah, I'll check it out. Cool.

Right on. Ben Ritter says, have you had a chance to try Election Year Knockout? A Steam version is coming soon too. Unfortunately, I have not but we will try. I mean, you should play it.

I work nonstop. No, I don't know. I just haven't had a chance. Mr. Self Aware, thanks for becoming a member. Thank you. Super Bam Bam says, did you see that Kroger

is demanding associates to pay back hazard pay and is sending it to collections and everything i saw that that's messed up talk about like sacrificing all goodwill you may have had for anything i respected that for a while yikes yikes samuel williams the founding father says when i hear you say you want dems to nominate an old school dem it's like watching a friend chase a girl that dumped him years ago but he still keeps trying move on bro i did move on that's the point i think it was like two months ago i was like that's it i'm done i'm done now i know it's like being like in the friend zone they keep goading you on and like you know they they want you to be there for

them but they don't want to give you what you're asking for they're keeping you and i just in case and i realized you know what this relationship wasn't meant to be because if they're keeping you and i just in case and i realized you know what this relationship wasn't meant to be because if they're not going to provide if we're not working on it together i'm not going to you know i'm not going to i'm not going to be that person podcastage says thanks for continuing to sling sling that tent off topic question favorite band and album from that band muse definitely and i don't know if i have a favorite album from them because i think we're beyond the era of albums for the most part right no I refuse to believe that I love a really good

album Fear Inoculum for example incredible album it fits Tools like you know I just posted about this the other day it's just it's such a good album from start to finish it feels like a Tool album it didn't feel like something new and different. It felt like I had been listening to this music for a long time. Now, I'm not saying that that's what I would pick, but man, that's the first thing that came to my mind. So I'll just go with that.

What are these weird little red things? What? Little bugs. What? They're bugs? What? Oh, gosh. I don't see them.

Are you sure they're there? Are you just seeing things? I'm seeing bugs. I finished them off. They came out of the thing from China? Oh, no. Oh, yeah. This is how we die.

I think we'll be fine. Drunk Shovel says, Stuck working. I've had eight customers in my shop in eight hours. Thanks for keeping me company. I'm bored to tears. Sorry, dude. Goliog says, Tim, perform a Hillary Trump debate, but you do all the voices. Yes.

Did you ever see the... That would be entertaining. They staged a debate where they had a woman be Trump and a man be Hillary. Interesting. The argument was that Hillary only lost because she's a woman.

So this performance group said, we're going to do the debate completely staged, but the woman character will be played by... Inverted the genders. Interesting. And guess what the audience thought.

Verbatim? Like they just did the exact same... It was a scripted event. And? The audience, who, they were unfamiliar with the politics, said Hillary's character was snide and unlikable and the woman was justified and, you know, strong and you know, things like that. Wow. Yep.

So it really was like, I mean, like the way Hillary acted was elitist snooty like Acted? Past tense? Continues to act. Right. Well, thankfully we don't have to see her on TV anymore. Yeah, sorry. No, no, no. Oh, she's making a scene.

For some reason, she keeps poking her head on the scene nowadays. Here's what I told her. I wonder why. We were hanging out with Luke. I told him, here's what's going to happen. Joe Biden's going to pick Hillary. Then he's going to win. And then they're going to, I just imagine the scene where it's like Biden's in a wheelchair

with his head drooped down and he's got a blanket over his lap. And there's like a Secret Service guy and he wheels him into the sunroom where he puts him up against a window. It's like a bookshelf. Yeah. And the sun is, you know, just beaming down on sleepy Joe and he's asleep. And then Hillary, like, comes out of the shadows of the room and she looks at the security guard.

That's walking past him like this. And she goes and just walks past him like this, and she goes, and just walks past him. Oh, man. And then the security guard pulls up, put on gloves, and then he pulls out a grot wire, and that's just the end of it. Oh, my gosh. President Hillary.

That's dark. Very visual. Yeah. Thank you for that. I should make short films. I imagine her just, like, appearing out of the shadows. Right. And just, like, cutting his throat,

and then, like, going back into the shadows. She's wearing gloves. Yes. And she's, like, his throat and then like going back into the shadows. She's wearing gloves. Yes. She's prepared. No, but I like the idea of her looking at the Secret Service guy and going,

like making a nasty scowl and like, yeah. Frightening. And then it's like, and then like the next scene is like a newspaper and it says,

you know, Biden dies of old age. President Hillary, first real president. Yep. Yep. I don't think it's actually going to happen though.

I think he's going to pick Klobuchar or something. Cal Buchanan says, my shirt just showed up harumph excellent nice yes send me pictures awesome robo finn says what do you think about halo mcc on pc also china's taking advantage of coronavirus to bring hong kong into the fold yeah i don't know about halo i don't know much about the whole the whole hong kong thing but I was reading a little bit about it earlier. What about Halo? Do you know anything about Halo? Not really. I played Halo 1 on Xbox One, and it was an awesome game. But I played Destiny.

That's a Bungie game. China is trying to force Hong Kong, and it's creepy. Yeah, it's crazy. China's infiltrating and taking over, man. That's what they do. Fred Fredfurter says, It is 8pm on a federal holiday. Tim better

be paying at least time and a half. Yep. Alright, noted. Noted. Duly noted. Ikaj says, Tim and crew are the only thing keeping me sane while I wait to ship out to Navy boot camp. Keep up the good work. Right on. We will try. That's hard work. Thanks for your service. Eric Heffelfinger.

Any plans to do a 2020 election special? I would love to see you three react to at least the last hour of the final numbers coming in. I think we probably would be. Yeah, that would be so fun. Maybe. I'll look up. What date is it? Yeah, we'll see. I don't know. Yeah, we'll do that. Yeah, we'll do that. That sounds fun.

Hocticus says, I'm going to go camping this week and hang out in the woods. Highly recommend. Helps you unwind. Definitely. Sounds good. Cordy says, listening to you while at work right now makes it more bearable. Appreciate it. Kyle with Super Chat says, you think that Trump will make it so that states cannot do mail-in voting if they want to bail out from the situation they got themselves into? I don't know what's going to happen, but I think mail-in voting is a last ditch Hail Mary to try and win. They're changing the rules less, man.

I don't like it. I agree with that. Look, if we're in an emergency or emergencies happen, then you should have a bill prepared for when emergencies happen. Plan ahead, man. Yeah. Pyrocent. I love both of your guys' music so much,

I remastered the songs to listen in my car. I can play music and would love to add guitar solos where appropriate. I wanted to ask permission first. Cheers. I'll tell you what. That cool whatever you want and then um figure you can send it to actually follow adam yeah give your twitter what's your adam criggler yeah there you go you can see it's adam criggler a-d-a-m-c-r-i-g-l-e-r and you can hit me up send him whatever on twitter make a link or something yeah you can follow me at Timcast as well. On YouTube also. But if you,

if you, you know, tweet at me like, hey, here's this video I did or this song that I mastered. That'd be cool. And you can also follow

Sour Patch Lids. Yes, you can. Here, hold on. Wait, this is me. Yeah.

With an L-Y-D-S. Yep, that's my name. And also, thank you so much. That's, that's really great. That's awesome.

It's fun hearing feedback and I really appreciate, I love playing music for people who enjoy it. And also, thank you so much. That's really great. That's awesome. It's fun hearing feedback and I really appreciate it. I love playing music for people who enjoy it. And that makes it so much better. We'll play more on Friday. Yep. And smash that like button. Just smash it.

Just once. Smash that like button. Just once. Let's try and get to 50 billion likes. Oh, yeah. 50 billion or bust. 50 billion. Yes.

That means we need people to click it more than once. And to come back from the dead. Yeah, make new accounts. Jack Daw says, if you ever do decide to vote for Trump, please consider not telling us. I know we all want you to finally get on board, but you play a rather important role in the culture war and remaining unaffiliated is a big part of that. But it's silly to make believe. I'm not going to do that, right?

The issue is certainly many people on the left who are diehard Biden anti-Trump are assuming I've already voted for Trump in the first place. So what am I going to do? If I vote for Trump, I'll say I voted for Trump. But we'll see how things play out. Colt says the Nephilim are returning. Don't let them deceive you, Tim. I won't. Talbot says y'all see Beijing finally made open and full claim over all Hong Kong rights, courts and markets. It's going to get spicy. It's going to get spicy. Yeah, it is. It's going to get spicy when they go for Taiwan.

That's going to get nuts. That's the next move. They probably need Hong Kong because they want to control more of the coast. Makes sense. Before they can go to Taiwan. Cliff says, I love your jamming Friday.

Crowder has mug club. You and Adam should put out an EP or album and make band club. Yeah, we could. That'd be fun, yeah. We're working on it. That'd be awesome. Skateboards, too.

I'd be ripping them, says, worst censorship, fart book or tutor? Both. Oh, man, I just had a very bad idea of what tutor would be. It's just people. Moving on. It's following.

You follow people and they just fart. Oh, no. I think I'd be ripping them. It would be totally down. Yeah, he'd run that thing. Run it. David says, always loved economics, but Tim, you got me into politics.

Moved to Syracuse. Vegan pizza on me, Adam. Thank you. Syracuse is fun. I've been there before. Logan, thanks for the super chat. Only Real Cloud says, Tim, you inspired me to make my own channel, Only Real Cloud. I tried making daily videos, but it's so much work.

I make vids most weekdays. Much respect for your work ethic, and thanks for the inspiration. Ain't no problem. It's a lot of work, and he does it every day. Get a system. I have two half days off. You're a lot of work. And he does it every day. Get a system. I have two half days off. You're a beast, dude. Yeah.

Didactics and David Lopez says, went to Venice Beach yesterday. Crowds of people, many with no mask. Cops minding their own business with their masks lowered. Kids digging the skate park out of the sand. Most of it dug out. Awesome. Good to hear. Skateboarders clean everything.

That's so true. So I've been skateboarding most of my life. We would have mops and rakes and shovels and everything. You have to, right? Yeah. If you drove a half an hour to skate like this famous spot and there was dirt or something, you wouldn't just go home. You'd be like, all right, let's clean it up.

Yep. You get like a pump water thing. That's actually interesting. I lived in New York and I went to many different skate parks in New York. And there is trash everywhere in New York. Everywhere you go, there's trash. You get to the skate park, you get to the skate park, it's clean. It's clean. They take the trash, they throw it away. I mean, it's like they're holy ground, essentially. Man, they care about it. It's true. I've helped

clear drains at flooded parks. It's like, well, we're here. Now what do we do? Everything's under a foot of water. It's all right who wants to who wants to sacrifice it and go to the drain and start digging up the leaves yeah it's fun and then you go and you have like pull the leaves out and the water is draining and then we have squeegees and then your respect level bar grows though it's like but it's for you it's not for anybody else true it's like i'm here i want to skate the only way that's going to happen is if i clean this place up i'm gonna make it happen that's what i'm saying skateboard well the other day you did it for me though it was raining air blowing though you weren't skating you're like i'm not skating

i'm like i want to skate you're like i got you we're going to dispel this myth there's a clip we put on instagram of adam doing a switch blunt front side grab in and it is just adam laughing afterwards and for some reason people think it's me yeah i don't know why they think it's you because you're holding the camera and it's oh yeah i'm a pro you can hear the pure joy in my laugh of me landing that trick because it was like it just stopped raining we quickly squeegee it off the ramp and air and blew it off and then adam it's got like you got like 10 minutes before it was gonna rain yeah and you adam was like i had a dream i did this trick i'm gonna try minutes before it was going to rain. And Adam was like, I had a dream. I did this trick.

I'm going to try it. And it was first try. You're like, let me film it. I'm like, okay. Yeah, I got down. I was sitting down. I went wide mode. And you did it first try.

It was awesome. And you left because you did it first try. I know, yeah. People were saying I was laughing. No, no, no, no, no. You know why I take offense to that? Because I'm a professional cameraman. I know full well. One of the worst things you can do in skateboarding, because I've got a clip.

Like, after the Rogan thing happened, all of these old clips of me are, like, popping up on YouTube. It's so weird. It's, like, 14-year-old skate videos. And one of them, I think I did a backside tail slide over this gap. So there's, like, a ledge and there's grass. So you have to slide on top of the ledge to come off. And the cameraman starts laughing. He's like, yeah, what?

I'm like, no. Shut up. You ruined it. You gotta put music. What are you doing? Let it mainly land it and roll away first before you laugh.

You can laugh. You can high five, but the camera person is just a tripod. You know what I mean? Let's read some more. That's nice. Max says,

I personally enjoy Lafrague and Highland Park. Oh, I got your man right there. Oh, Lafrague is definitely one of my favorites. This guy spoiled me here.

Well, hold on. Go ahead. We did an event out here and Antifa threatened to burn the theater down. And so everything was up in the air. We we worked really really hard and eventually we were able to pull it off and so I went out and I bought a Lafroig how do you say it Lafrague Lafrague Lafrague and I'm not a drinker I do not like drinking I thought it tastes like an ashtray I love that smoky flavor though yeah oh it's so good but it was it's very expensive it was like 700 really good but it was this big event we put on it ended up being i think

i think for me it was a net loss i'm not entirely sure that's about to shut off is that not plugged in the camera oh i don't know i'll look at it carry on carry on yeah it's about to be about to turn it off so all right let let's see. Where are we at? All the other cameras are good, right? That's weird. Why did the cord come out? It must not be plugged in. No idea.

I got it. All right, let's see what we got. Zachary says, Adam, if you could assign an alimony power to the three of you, what would they be? Also, I have the re-ring the subscription bell several times. I've had to re-ring. Oh, that's weird. What's an alimony power?

I don't know. Is that just like allocating power to among us all? Man, that feels like a trap. And the power strip is the most fun? I would say, I mean, Tim and I have been friends for a long time. So I don't know. I've always done my own thing my entire life. So it's, I don't know.

I feel like I'm just hanging out with my friend even though it's like technically you're my boss like i guess i don't i know we're doing the show together so i would say that him and i are about equal and then lydia is kind of just standing on onto the side doing her own thing too i don't know this is too much of a trap i feel like i don't even want to touch this what's wrong what with it? No, I mean, is it plugged in? That's weird. Open the LCD, take a look at what it says. Does it say battery dying? Try and unplug it from the back and plug it back in or something.

Clearly the plug's not working. Yeah, something's going on. Is it still? I think it's the power strip. Everything else is in the power strip. Technical difficulties, everybody. The power strip has individual buttons. You can press a button.

Allomancy from Mistborn. Now I know what you're talking about. Thank you, everybody. Now I can answer this question. Basically, what we're saying is what would each of the powers be? What kind? What does Allomancy mean well that's kind of the

magic in miss born that's uh one of brandon sanderson's books you fixed it uh man it's been a few years since i've actually read this uh that that series it was good it's basically like the manipulation of metal allomancy we fixed we fixed the camera yeah i can't really really think about it good we fixed the camera everybody now now adam stop't really think about it. Good. We fixed the camera, everybody. Now, Adam, stop stalling for time. All right, where are we at? Okay. The Grizzly says, hey there, Tim Cass. How's it going?

I wanted to tell you something. A lot of times in your videos, I always hear you say, maybe we can break some echo chambers. In a pretty doubting voice, let me just tell you this. You did. You helped me back in. And then half, let's see if I can try and just jump ahead and figure out where the next half of that. Oh, yeah.

I want to hear this. This sounds good. There we go. In 2017, your coverage of the Mueller report helped me out of a leftist echo chamber and helped my drift toward the right. Not exclusively, though, with help from razor fist and sticks, but I did want to let you know that you help people out. I appreciate it. I don't necessarily, like, it's, I guess you could say that if you think you're getting better information that's that's fact checked and you trust it, then it's a good thing. That's all that really matters. Like, I don't do the things that I do because I'm trying to convince someone to be

right or left. You're trying to make echo chambers, though, right? I mean, to an extent, like it's not so much about telling someone what they should or shouldn't do. It's about being like, here's what happened and here's what I think about it. And I think too many people don't pay attention. So I guess it's a good thing, right? i'd be happy about it look at this we are we are slammed man also it's it's like 90 degrees in here so it is it is pretty hot a little annoying hum sorry yeah the hum's coming back because we're putting the ac back on i'm gonna pass out yeah it's pretty hot let's see what we got it's pretty hot in here let's see if this thing's gonna tell me where we're at this room's boiling 78 degrees 77 80 80 degrees you guys are

took someone from back in the past, World War II, around I'm today, they would be on the right for sure.

You really get a feel for the sets a little more i don't like the set no play some limited based on just looking at it i kind of roll i'm like i like the companion idea i do it does feel like they ripped off hearthstone because hearthstone did that first what hearthstone has a series of cards that are like at the start of the game if your deck only fits these criteria okay and do x and so it's like one guy is if your deck only has three you know cards that cost three or more then at then you start the game with this creature or you gain these three cards something like that yeah hearthstone i tried it dude magic has done magic has followed a lot of what hearthstone had ended up doing heartharthstone's super simple.

Yeah. But I like Commander. Sean L. Bucholoco says, When you redefine racism to exclude hatred of a particular race and convince that race they are not allowed to defend themselves, that race becomes a fair game for hateful acts. That's why racism is racism. They're trying to change the definition for political power. Kalt says,

The Council of Nicaea did not edit the Bible. That is a lie pushed by the movie Zeitgeist. Really? Is that where that comes from? Yeah, Zeitgeist had a lot of wrong stuff in it for sure. Stephen says, careful, Tim,

the COVID will hear you if you say its name too much. Don't say its name three times in the mirror. Right. Talbot says the left used to say it's time to be human, to be a human,

doing and say to go protest. Now they say it's ableist, but you should still go protest. Matthew Hammond says, now you know why conservatives are against a living and breathing constitution. The left will make the constitution whatever they want it to be if they are allowed to define it, amend it, to change it. But it is amendable. The problem is zealotry.

We need to defend against cultist authoritarians. Amendments require all the states, don't they? Our majority. Yeah, they require tons the states, don't they? Our majority. Yeah, they require tons of states. Oh, man. Allergies. Roger says, you're not being offended on behalf of black people for Biden. You're being alarmed that he is so openly racist.

Alright, so I think we're going to have to start speeding things up, and I hate to do this to you guys,

but this is often what happens. Oh, it's already 10. Yeah, we get too many super chats. It becomes very difficult to read through everything. So that means we're not going to be able to read through the smaller super chats. For that, I apologize. Later in the night, it happens. I'll spin the UFO

for you all. But Adam's going to spin the UFO. Beautiful. Chase Smith, thanks for the super chat. The Dark Wall says, I love you and your content for years.

He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. Trump can make states reopen through enforcing the rights to assemble from the First Amendment. But businesses and stuff, there's probably nuances there, and there's courts. I like the checks and balances. Vosht says, SJW hole, is that like the front hole? Slav in the chat says greetings from greetings western imperialists i very much enjoy this show also i am sending you a copy of future by dimitri glagovsky so do not buy it don't worry it's it's it's english copy so even western spies can enjoy

Mac Hero says, why was it so easy to compare SJW ideology influence to infants watching Finger Family? Because they're children. That's basically what we went over. Mark Wolf says, I am starting to view the issues of today by this filter. Good men forsooth are scarce. There are hardly as many

as there are gates of Thebes or mouths of the rich Nile. Juvenile set. Jack Conti, In Illinois, my apartment complex emailed residents to inform on each other if we don't wear masks in the hallways. Amenities closed. Wow. I'm considering

not paying rent until Illinois gets together. That's my, as my protest. Gets it together. Professor Ramandev says, so if dry real news content isn't profitable, how do you make a news organization that can last? It's subsidized.

Now, news was always a loss leader. It's, it's a marketing thing. You do breaking news. You get a big, a bunch of attention for your brand or whatever. Now they've become profit engines. So maybe that's the plan. I don't know. I don't know.

Altark Ali Ark says, Hey, Tim, Adam, and Lydia. Thanks for all the stuff you do. Keep up the great work. Also, since it's Memorial Day, Semper Fi, Philip, keep watching from on high, buddy. Awesome. Awesome. Kels, thanks for joining. EF says this stream should be illegal. Common sense is not allowed on YouTube. Don't you know it? No, come on. Joe Rogan's got a huge show. That's true. Let's see. Baggin says, Have any of you considered the idea that the U.S. government is complicit in supporting violations of the First Amendment by giving legal protections to social media companies that file as a public platform? The publisher platform argument is

wrong. Many people get that wrong. And it's actually the First Amendment that protects these companies from having to host content they don't want. That's the challenge. The government can't create a law that would prohibit their ability to speak as an entity. I think we need to change it, but it's actually the First Amendment. The government can't compel you to say something. So these companies are like, we can post whatever we want, no matter what. I think there are problems there. We'll have to figure it out.

It's actually like the traditionally liberal position, government regulation over these issues, you know. But the left today, it's like they want power. It's actually like the traditionally liberal position, government regulation over these issues, you know. But the left today, it's like they want power, so. Aaron Larson says, and the sign said long-haired freaky people need not apply. So I tucked my hair up under my beanie and I came to ask him why. Song stuck in my head now. Thanks, guys and gal. Ha ha.

As my hair is tucked, totally tucked into my beanie. As soon as we're done, I'm going to tell the robot to play it. Nice. The robot. You can't say your name. No. Ricky J says here in the UK, you can discriminate for employment if there is a legitimate reason. For example, hiring a woman for social care for women or hiring fit people to work in construction.

That's true for America, too. It is. Nonservium says service should guarantee voting for commander in chief. If you know how to balance a checkbook and pay an even a dollar more than you take out in welfare programs at the end of the year, you should be able to vote for how our finances in this country go. Action Man says, you should watch Solar Opposites

made by Justin Roiland. One episode has the girl character trying to smash the patriarchy but has to start a boys club because everything is already inclusive. Yes, I saw that. It was awesome. I haven't seen it. So she's by her teacher to like take down the patriarchy for for like her assignment okay but everything she finds is inclusive so she makes a boys club started by a girl that says no girls allowed and a bunch of boys show up to protest it and she's trying to start it so she can smash it but then the boys show up and accuse her of being a bigot because she excluded girls

and they chase her out. It's so great. I loved it. I really enjoyed that. Kyle Harmon says, Ivan at Niage. Let's go join the Navy. Do you remember that Simpsons episode? Ivan at Niage?

You don't remember that song? Ivan atniage. Sing it, Sam. Yeah. Yeah. So it was the Simpsons. The Navy recruiter hired Bart in his, like, boy band to sing it. And it says, join the Navy backwards.

Oh, okay. Yvonne Etniage. Nice. Yeah. Nanan says, voting rights should be granted to landowners. The most affected by most of the decisions made. One vote per acre of land zone residential owned rounded down to the nearest integer no i understand why the history used to

be that way but now i understand why it's not that way because we don't actually we're not actually a country of landowners anymore a lot of most people live in rental properties and stuff sketchy says the idea of the citizenship for service makes more sense as they have taken a stake in government much like the original idea behind the property for voting as taxes pay into it but with more uh with it being more meritocratic perpetual punster says in starship troopers anyone could apply to be a citizen and work to become one however two years of civil service guaranteed citizenship oh i see it guarantees that's the point ef says what have your what is your opinions of the biden gaffes

he's sun setting and old and he can't think straight anymore how many gaffes does it take to finally just have dementia exactly exactly how many how many how many gaffes equals one dementia or when you open your mouth and it's always a gaffe it's better keeping his mouth combustion says i wonder how the acoustics are in the jail and if it could work as a recording studio probably it looked like it could cyberpunk says remember remembering my first cousin uh do you know spc means sergeant uh private first class or something spc daniel j agami died from an ied in iraq 2007 oh man we must never allow neocons to get in power again. Sorry to hear, man.

A handy redneck says, Tim, the church churches used to be the focal points for community togetherness. Quilting bees, bake sales, etc. Yup, for sure. I know because I grew up in, I went to a Catholic school and they would do weekly,

like, gatherings. Yeah. And you actually paid less tuition if you were parishioners and you showed up to their events and stuff. Yeah. And you actually paid less tuition if you were parishioners and you showed up to their events and stuff. Yeah, that's interesting. Let's see. David says,

What does it say? C. Collins, 68. Paying people to commit crimes reminds me of the new Ghost in the Shell, where they have this concept of sustainable war. Controlled wars to help boost the world economy and control the population. Oh, man. That sounds terrible. Yikes.

Kyle Harmon says, giving the homeless houses. My experience is pawn shop work. Some customers have paid so much interest to the shop, we have mercy on them and give them their collateral back for free. 100% they turn around and pawn it right back. Yikes. Just Jen, thanks for becoming a member. Thank you.

Vanessa says, the elementary school my youngest goes to has Ranger Bucks. They can buy toys, school supplies, and if they have enough, extra recess. Wow. That's so cool. I had something in first grade where if you did good, you'd get a ticket. Okay. And if you got 10 tickets, you can buy a toy. It wasn't necessarily the same, but I thought that was awesome.

You know, later on in hindsight, I like the idea of being able to buy toys for sure. Krizzy Kitty says, I went to high school that basically paid you credits to use at the school store. They had more than candy and school tools. I got a VCR at one point. Wow. That's awesome. Random. Yeah. Sean says, the government is amazing with money. Yes.

Let's have those people teach the kids. Public school curriculum would be worse than having no financial education to figure it out for yourself. That's a good point. That's fair. Johnny Cash says, Tim, please invite Sticks, Hex, and Hammer on for a general policy discussion. Not a debate, necessarily, but something I think would be a good collaboration

for both of your audiences. Yeah, Sticks is awesome. I want him to sit. I want him to come here and sit down and hang out. Yeah, that'd be fun. But we're locked down. I guess, is he in Europe now? I thought he was overseas last I checked.

Does he live there now? I don't know. He's back in France. Sticks is great. He's a smart fella. He's funny. The Unrepresented says, automated mining is now in some places with driverless dump trucks.

Wow. Interesting. Randy says, I'm moving to New Zealand ASAP. They have an actual directory for job seekers. it says automated mining is now in some places with driverless dump trucks wow interesting randy says i'm moving to new zealand asap they have an actual directory for job seekers on top of that i refuse to spend ungodly amount ungodly amounts of money for medical treatment whether they want you i heard that new zealand is very what's the right word for it almost homogenistic politic culturally like everyone is dronish like like there's no dissenting thought everybody it's hard to

explain I guess but you know like the left is yeah I W's imagine a whole country where everyone is just homogenous and their thoughts I wonder if that's partly because

they have such a discriminating immigration policy they're an island they can do whatever they want they let in whoever they want yeah and they're really, really picky. Highly educated. And yeah, so I wonder.

Sean Moore says, what is wrong with a burger if it's just beef and cheese? The bread is bad though. You know, I haven't had a burger in a long time because I don't like eating beef. It doesn't sit well with me. And I stopped having dairy. So there's only bread left.

No, I don't even like bread. I have a weird diet. I don't even know what to call i call the tim diet it's not keto it's not vegan it's not paleo i eat some vegan food because of this guy yeah it's like i'm like i was eating something i remember what it was and i was like it's 99 vegan so it's not vegan at all yeah because it was like vegan food but i put mayonnaise on it right well it's because you tried some of my food and you're like that's pretty legit yeah yeah to's pretty good, yeah. Yeah, to be honest. Not bad. So Adam's got like vegan freezer food that you can like nuke real quick. Yeah.

That's great. And I got fish sticks and I microwaved them and then I said, right on the box, you can't do that. And I was like, well, how am I? What about my snacks? My snacks. I post shows snacks. If I'm going to cook something, I'll cook something.

That's right. Right, exactly. I just want something fast. I just want to put something in the microwave for 30 seconds, then slop some barbecue sauce on it and eat it. And probably mayonnaise. So then we got chicken nuggets, and then some vegan stuff too. That all works for me. That's why it's like a weird Tim diet.

Indeed. Alright, we just had a big ol' YouTube jump. I love when that happens. We're doing great though. The superchats just drop all in at one time. Yeah, thanks for hanging out, everybody. Oh man, we got so many superchats. Heaven's me. I hope everyone's enjoying their barbecues. Wow, I can't. There we go, there we go. Alright, thanks for hanging out, everybody. Oh, man, we got so many super chats. Heaven's me. I hope everyone's enjoying their barbecues. Wow, I can't. There we go, there we go. Alright, we found it.

Christian Moore says, Adam, that Biden child predator video creeped out my whole family. Invading personal space, like that can't be normal. Oh, did you post the Biden video? No, someone tagged me in it and I commented on it because I said, what has been seen cannot be unseen.

And it's, I mean, when you really see it and it's basically this guy, he's a professional. I don't know if he's a psychologist or whatever it is. He's a doctor that works with victims in this line of videos. And he's basically saying like what he's doing is grooming children oh right leads it into being used to being touched and less likely to like report it and talk about it and it's bad it's it just man I just he creeps me out he's such a creepy old dude like Oh John Stewart and the Daily Show did a segment called the audacity of grope. Where they show one of the clips, and then Jon Stewart takes hand sanitizer and puts

it in his eyes. I know. I wish I could understand. But it's like. You can't. He's a public figure. Dude, disappear. Go.

Listen. Go retire, please. He apologized for it, and then kept doing it. Right. It's like, this dude. He's not sorry. He said sorry for appearances. I'm going to be bold, bro.

Oh, really? You're going to be bold? You know Hunter Biden? I mean, I don't know much about him. I know he's Biden's son. You know Hunter Biden? I'm very familiar with Hunter Biden. You heard the stories about what he does at those clubs?

Yep. He's a hot mess. I don't know if I want to know. Dude, he's such a mess. Oh, I knew that. I know he's a druggie, right? He took his brother's widow and knocked her up shortly after her brother died yeah yeah it was great he got caught with crack pipes and stuff

he's a hot mess he's a hot mess i wonder what biden was doing to him when he was growing up i don't want to think about it poor guy you know i never even thought about that yeah what has been seen set says exploitation not good, but what do you do when the third world is willing to work for $1 a day to Americans? $1 a day is exploitation. To the third world, they sign up for it every day. And that's been a big argument that it actually

helps them. But we're a community of Americans, man. You know, it's like if you don't want to pay an American for the hard work they do, you're basically... You're extracting our resources. It doesn't help them, though, because there's multiple factories and those factories themselves compete with each other to get the best price. So even that dollar a day will eventually turn into 75 cents a day. And there's going to be a factory that'll be like, you know what,

we'll offer that. And then everyone will move to that cheaper factory because that gives them a better price. Here's a good one from Diacritical1. He says, being able to call POC white supremacists is the whitest of all privileges. I know, right? I've seen it so many times. Amazing. And a 20-year-old white woman with purple hair yelling at a black man that he's racist. And I'm like, what?

I know. Your own ideology says that only white people can be racist. Why are you? Yeah, here you are. There's a viral video of a black cop and this young college woman yelling at him that he's supporting white supremacy. And he's like, what? He's like, I grew up in civil rights. What are you talking about?

These people, man. These are arrogant kids, man. Yeah. Marty Peltz says, first time catching the show live. I've watched you a long time and I haven't returned the favor, though. Our favor enough. I've been watching Gold Silver with Mike Maloney and it's oddly familiar. Thank you, Marty. I think it is a problem, man, for sure.

Thanks for hanging out. Daniel says, Do you think your podcast would be demonetized, shadow banned, if you invited the doctor from Sweden that decided to keep the country open? Yes, I absolutely do. Do you think so? Really? Of course. Like, they took down those two open. Yes, I absolutely do. Do you think so? Really? Of course. They took down those two doctors in California.

They took down a former advisor to the World Health Organization. That's insane. Yeah, you're right. Bobby Aragon says, thanks for the UFO spin and everything else y'all do. You guys are awesome and a routine part of my days. Keep up the good work. We will try. Thank you very much. Spike Tracks says, I've lost my black card

and with my credit, I can't reapply. Bummer. James Warren says, I've watched your videos since your first show up on Crowder. I'm out in Arizona. Do you know a YouTuber named Razor Fist?

If so, would you ever bring him on IRL? I'd love to watch. Of course. Yeah, Razor's awesome too. I know Razor Fist. I don't really know. He's loud? I haven't watched...

He's louder than Styx? Oh, yeah. He's like really... He's like... He's louder than Styx. Oh, yeah. He's like Styx on heroin. No, on heroin. I don't know what he's on. He's fast. Oh, okay, so heroin slows you down. Right, yeah. Razor's like, he does these really long, fast, like...

It's almost like theatrical. It's great. Yeah, I'll have to check him out. I love it. I don't know a lot about Razor, though. I do catch the occasional Sticks video, and I'm familiar with Sticks, and Sticks is a very calm, intelligent... Razor is also, my understanding, cool dude and everything. I've only seen a few Razor Fist videos, though.

He does not like John McCain. Because he's in Arizona, too, I think. Ah, there you go. Andrew says, government is made of people. All of you are people. Voting is not your only option to change it. Run for government positions and carry patience and vigilance for the ideas you believe in. Yeah, we got a few good politicians, man. I think Rand Paul is my favorite politician right now.

Just because he's like the only... We need more politicians. A younger generation. Put Rand Paul on the phone machine. Don't just vote. Go get a job in politics. This is a call for more younger generations in politics. Find a way to clone Rand Paul.

Hey, they're working through this pandemic. I know, right? David says, did you hear about the Valve China Steam client alpha test? Apparently they play a five second propaganda video on launch of any game and you can't play during certain times. Oh my goodness.

I saw about it, but I haven't dug into it. I just noticed it earlier. Adam says, Oh my goodness. Sounds like China. I saw about it, but I haven't dug into it. I just noticed it earlier. Dang. Adam says, Titan. Is it because it's the first one you started as? I mean, I play them all. I do, when I'm playing Destiny,

I'm not currently playing Destiny, but I'll definitely start playing before the fall when they introduce the new expansion DLC. But yeah, I always like Titan. I like their jumps the best and their supers. Cyan Davies says, Have you seen about the Vick Gov in Australia making an infrastructure deal with China?

Reporters asked your VP, and he said, The U.S. don't want to disconnect from Australia, but will if they have to. Wow, really? I don't know about that. Banker Supreme says, part one of four. Hi, Tim. Just want to say some stuff about the Constitution.

Specifically about how people are changing what words mean based on today's context, and more specific, the Second Amendment. I told you the Second Amendment, if I told you the second amendment base on how it was written and context at the time, it gives the right for citizens to almost to own almost any weapon. Would you believe me? I think you, you meant own. I absolutely would. Of course I would. And, and it's funny. Someone made a joke about if we applied that standard, the way that the Democrats are saying, like they they're expecting, you know, only own a musket. Some guy that wrote this really funny thing where he's like, wake up at a.m and someone kicks in my door grab my rifle run

downstairs you know take the first shot miss because it's smoothbore hit the neighbor's dog right reload as they're panicking fire blast a four inch hole in the chest because it's a it's a musket round like a metal ball right Run up to my roof and load up my artillery and fire an artillery shell. Yeah, cannon at their car. Tally-ho, lads! All right. Part three says, but through manipulation of language today, people are taking away our rights. If we go down this path, the Constitution won't matter as a written document anymore.

That's a good point. And where's part four? There we go. But if you do believe the Constitution does need to be changed regarding to the Second Amendment, who do you trust to correctly change it? Man, I honestly don't know. That's the key right there. That's why we need younger people in politics.

Smart and smart people. But times change and people keep moving in that direction. That's a good point. We'll see. I mean, look, Joe Rogan's, I think he's pro-gun and he's a lefty dude. What people in this country don't realize is that the anti-gun crowd is smaller than the pro-gun crowd, and that's why the rules aren't changing. They don't get it.

That's a good point. It's weird when I meet these lefties who are like, nobody actually wants these things, and I'm like, bro, even blue states, like Maine, for instance, it's blue, right? I'm pretty sure Maine is partially blue. I don't know. Is Maine blue or purple? I think, let me check. Anyway, you've got these northeast blue-ish states.

They like their weapons, man. Like Vermont, especially. That's why Bernie Sanders was usually moderate. Yep, it's blue. Yeah, and Maine, you can like, my understanding is you got concealed carry without a permit. You just walk in, buy it, and you put it in your trench coat or whatever.

Mr. Paul R. says, awesome. What y'all do Monday through Friday. Love what you do five days a week. Hats off to Timcast. That's seven days a week, love Lydia's horizontal striped shirt, appreciate it Shadow Fox says, my uncle was a green beret during Operation Desert Storm, and I was a part of Operation Inherent Resolve in

2017, and my dad is still in the army in his, while he is 50, wow, right on Bobcat says, Tim, get your team some 10th Mountain Rye. Also, don't come to PA. You can't legally buy the good stuff here because the state owns all the liquor stores. Yikes.

Really? Come on. I didn't know that. Xerxe says, Adam is trying to give the serious answer, yet Tim is so focused on the dead camera. Oh, yeah. Technically, it was dying. Dying.

Sorry, it was me. I was standing over there. Miguel says, try Lagavulin 16. It's a gateway whiskey for people who don't like Petey Islays. I've had that. And it's a great drop. Anyway, I just don't like drinking. I don't drink. Yeah. Yeah. Antony says, by the power of Soy Jesus, you shall not

simp. This super chat is paid for by Simping Point USA. Thank you. Rocklexicon says, great rants tonight, Beanie Crew. Less SJW, more gratitude for the blessings we have. Can't wait to get my Haram Faisay shirt that I ordered. Awesome.

Thank you for that. Raulgan says, What is your opinion on China's digital currency that is backed by gold? Will this be their first step on controlling crypto? Maybe it's an attempt to trick people into buying it up with real cash, and then they just say, Okay, now we don't honor it. Bye-bye.

Good point. Mr. Sparky says, hey, Tim, have you thought of moving to Florida? We have no state income tax, decent housing cost, and great weather. Excuse me? You say great weather? Great weather? How dare you? Do you like swimming when you go outside?

How dare you? We lived in Florida. We lived there. Been there, done that. It was fun that it was always a tropical hurricane in Miami. Yeah. But I couldn't do it. that it was fun that it was always a tropical hurricane in miami yeah but that doesn't sound fun even our house had like bar barricaded windows that we could they had like hard metal sheets in

the garage that you'd have to replace if a hurricane was coming yep it's crazy michael coventry says you guys are awesome when i was younger i tried skateboarding smacked my nose on the board oof that sucks oh man we just got a big old jump. Where are we at? There we go. Let's see. Sexy Goose. Thanks for becoming a member. Thank you. Sam says,

Have you ever seen the Chinese-made movie Hero starring Jet Li? It's the most visually stunning film I've ever seen. Full stop. While it is definitely propaganda, it really gives insight into the Chinese mentality.

Ooh, I'll check that out. That sounds cool. What is it called? Hero. Chinese Hero. Cool. Redwall says, I think I got blackpilled.

I'm ever growing in favor of a revolution to overthrow the leftist media, big tech, and political system, similar to how the socialists want to overthrow large corporations. Now, that is dangerous thinking there, buddy. It is tough because we got a really good thing going on and they're disrupting it. So it's an issue of defending the Constitution from these people. Jonathan says, can you start doing interviews? I want to see some hardcore interview.

Also, Soy Jesus, I think you'd be a great person to do with. I think you mean to with. Also, the second they accept this... Okay, I'm just going to read this. Also, the second she, they, lady on your cast, more she add good stuff, but it's weird when you hear her,

but don't see her. Wait. But she, we, she does have a camera. I have a camera. It does go to her when she speaks. Sometimes I'll say a few words without showing my face, like now. But not always. Solitary Gamer says, Maine is not blue with guns. We rejected Bloomberg regulations and have constitutional

carry. That's right. Wow, constitutional carry. Daniel says, do you think they would hold a double standard than potentially not demonetizing mainstream media in Sweden, policing just American independent commentary? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. No idea. I don't know how it would work internationally

actually, but I think they would take the whole video down. Ascendia says, Adam, what order of Knights Radiant would you be? Stormlight Archives reference. Man, that is a good book series. This is the one I was talking about. This is Brandon Sanderson's epic, basically. I think it's supposed to be nine books long.

But man, what order of the Knights Radiant would it be? Honestly, I don't know. I couldn't answer that. I would love to be a knight just to wear the suit and jump around and be epic. They basically have these suits, these knight in shining armor,

and it's literally shining with this power that it radiates and it uses. Is it sci-fi or fantasy? I wouldn't say sci-fi. It's more fantasy. Maybe it's sci-fi. I don't know. It's got magic. There's

singers that sing to the the weather and yeah that's a cool book series i gotta uh i gotta read in it because i haven't read in a while but i guess a new book's coming out this fall supposedly the fourth book so we have that to look forward to well if you haven't already smash that like button just find the little button no no i'm sorry i'm sorry take your mouse hover over the button and give it a little tap so it's a little tap yeah yeah don't don't smash your mouse don't smash your mouse it's a little tap yeah the uh the likes really do help and uh if you like the show share it it's the it's the best way think about how many people are watching i don't even know how many but

no don't worry about it okay if every single one of these people were like i'm going to press share or hit the like button we'd have like a ton of likes and youtube would then be like i'm going to push this up to the top of the ranks, make sure everybody sees it. Yeah. We appreciate that. And it really is. But you don't have to.

Just what do you want us to talk about? And you can follow me at TimCast if you want to see skateboarding pictures of cats on Instagram. And also on Twitter, usually just complaining about stuff. Posting news sometimes.

And then also there's Sour Patch Lids. Oh, yeah. L-Y-D-S. L-Y-D-S. L-Y-D-S. She posts spicy memes. I do. I talk to people a lot. Spicy memes.

And we got one more super chat, and then I think we're about to head to bed. Andal's History says, Tim, do you think UBI can work when guaranteed income equals guaranteed increase in charges for things like rent, et cetera? Yeah, right. That's the main problem.

It's like minimum wage a little bit. If you don't have to work and you get money, then how do we incentivize the lowest tier of labor? In which case, nobody will want to do the basic level of work. Exactly. Like someone's got to, like there's certain things we haven't automated yet. And that means low-skill labor will be like,

I'd rather not do it. And someone's response to me was that I was wrong because people would then become entrepreneurs. haven't automated yet. And that means low skill labor will be like, I'd rather not do it. Yeah. And someone's response to me was that I was wrong because people then become entrepreneurs. I'm like, no, they would take that money and use it as an investment to something they want to do. And then we have we'd have 50,000 people getting guitar lessons. Yeah. For real. It's a good point.

Yeah. Yeah. All right. I think we're about to wrap it up. We went a little long. We went half an hour longer today, but we did it because we love you. Yes. And I'm sorry we couldn't get to every single chat.
