They're not going to be, I guess, charging this cop, the guy who was putting his knee on the neck.
They said there's, what did he say? He said something like...
He said something along the lines of there's evidence showing that there's no reason to charge him.
Something along those lines.
That they have evidence contradicting the fact that what everyone sees.
I don't buy it.
I don't buy it either.
I mean, I think what they might be alluding to, I think one possibility is that the cop
showed up late because people are like, hey, that cop wasn't the cop in the video.
And because there's a video of George Floyd not resisting.
Right.
Some have argued he was because he just like is grumbling as they push him and like staggered
or whatever.
But it's not resisting, man.
If what he's
saying is true why did they fire them why did they fire all four of them then yep what oh there's
evidence to the contrary then why did you fire all four of them it could be because this this is the
you know what man what to prevent this right it's not gonna he i know no well they're stupid yeah
exactly listen at some point these people got to learn that apologizing does nothing exactly and to prevent this. Right. It's not going to... I know. No. Well, they're stupid. Yeah, exactly.
Listen, at some point,
these people got to learn that apologizing does nothing.
Exactly.
And that's scary.
It's scary.
Because when I watched
this video of George Floyd,
my immediate reaction was like,
I do not see how they can
justify this in any way,
no matter what.
Agreed.
Because the dude's just not...
He's not resisting.
He's saying,
please, please, please,
I can't breathe.
Yeah.
They could have called
somebody over.
They could have...
All right, let's just put you in the back of the cop car. Something like that. Some people said, like, please, please, I can't breathe. They could have called somebody over. All right, let's just put you in the back of the cop car.
Something like that.
Some people said the criminals lie, and then they use it as a chance to escape.
You're responsible, man.
He had other cops around him, though.
Like, okay, let's all put him in the back of the vehicle.
Done.
There's this crazy thing that people don't understand.
When it came to Eric Garner,
do you know the story about Eric? He was slinging...
Cigarettes.
Yeah, what do they call them?
Singles or whatever?
Yeah, I don't remember.
When it came to him...
Lucy's.
Lucy's, yeah.
The cop had him in a chokehold
and he said,
I can't breathe, I can't breathe.
And then everyone started saying,
if you can talk, you can breathe.
It's not true.
It's really easy to force air out of your lungs,
but pulling it back in requires more pressure
right that's my understanding of it so that makes sense but i don't even care about i don't care
about any of these excuses i really really don't i mean the reality of it is we have they like they
got to be more responsible so i i could understand like maybe this guy cop shows up late right he
doesn't know what happened and they just say this guy was resisting and he was okay and so he doesn't
know anything about the guy keyword there was resisting even if it was past
tense it's like he wasn't resisting anymore that's not the point the language of the point they could
have said he's resisting hold him down and this cop shows up and he's like okay i know but i'm
seeing i'm seeing people post about there's there's training that when you need to restrain somebody
if their hands are tied behind their back and they're on their belly,
sitting on their hands does the same as sitting on their neck.
He could have sat him up.
Or sat on his hands.
They don't care.
Exactly. They don't care. That's the key.
The thing is, I really don't like the racialism
of everything all the time.
Because growing up on the south side of Chicago,
I've seen cops just not care.
I don't care what your race is.
They didn't care about any of us.
Yeah.
And to me, it was like I watched white dudes get beat up.
I watched Asian dudes get beat up and I watched black dudes get beat up and I got falsely
arrested.
Right.
And so when it comes to this, like I totally understand the anger and I'm not trying to
dismiss it.
I'm just saying like we can all agree on some fundamentals and we can avoid the more
contentious aspects.
Yeah.
And then we can talk about your how you feel about this when it comes to race.
I'm not saying don't talk about it.
I'm saying if we all agree right now, George's rights were violated completely.
Fifth Amendment, due process, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
And they could have just propped him up and sat him down.
There's a lot of ways they could have done.
Like, we got to talk about the callousness and the desensitizing of the police force.
These are all things I think everybody agrees with.
Look at how they were enforcing the pandemic.
These cops didn't care about you.
At the Atlas Gym, which is by us, these guys are like, we're going to open our business because we can't do this anymore.
They brought in, this is what we were told.
It might not be true, but we told by uh one of the locals there they brought
in cops from another town because they knew the local cops wouldn't want to enforce this against
their own town oh wow that's a problem yes that's how they get around it a cop who's like i don't
know you i don't care and then when he so look it's tough yeah But if you, in my opinion, cop or otherwise, if you're going to assert force over someone else and they comply, you are responsible in this regard.
So, anyway, I don't want to get too much into it because we got a ton of news.
So let's get started.
If you're just tuning in, we got the Super Chat going.
I think this is going to be a brutal night.
So just keep in mind we can't get to every single Super Chat. We'll do our best.
And we'll probably go through Super Chats.
Normally we'll read through a bunch of stories,
and then do Super Chats. I think we'll go in between today, just because
of what's going on with Twitter
and the shenanigans. We do have a bunch
of stories. We'll see what we can get to, because I think we're
going to be having a big conversation about what's happening around the country.
But it's getting...
It's nuts, man. I agree.
Let's just get started in
the first segment. Check this out. At least 30 arrested in NYC protest over death of George
Floyd. This is from just about an hour ago. And I mean, it's it's it's not stopped. We've we saw
the protest in Los Angeles. We're seeing him in New York. We got these photos coming out. Look,
this is the New York Post. We can see a bunch of photos here. Oh, wow. This is, these
photos, so I haven't seen video.
I like this cat here. I'm gonna leave it because
we're talking about heavy stuff, so it's kind of
nice. I've seen
arrests like this. I've seen protests
like this, and
you know, things can get rough
in New York. New York is usually really
chill relative to the places. Like, you were with me in Baltimore.
Yeah. Baltimore compared, and you were with me in New York.
I know, yeah, it's true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
New York was like, you know.
It's like, yeah, people are marching.
And Baltimore, it felt the same.
They were burning down their houses.
No, no, no.
I mean, you mean like Minnesota, the same.
Comparative to Minnesota, yeah.
Right, right.
I'm saying like when we were in New York.
Oh, yeah, New York, it felt chill always.
You were like riding around on your skateboard.
Right.
It was like, you know.
But people are getting arrested.
It's just that they're not burning things down.
This actually is surprising to me to see these photos of daytime arrests like this.
Yeah.
Because I didn't see that a whole lot when I would be covering a lot of protests in New York.
I mean, it happens.
It for sure does.
But I think we're looking at one of the most – I mean, this is the worst I've ever seen it.
Yeah, I agree.
In terms of a protest.
So when I was in Ferguson, they would ride at night and we'd go back and we'd go to sleep and we'd wake up the next day.
Everyone would be calm and there wouldn't be riding.
And it was all really centralized.
Right now we're hearing that there's riding in St. Paul.
So St. Paul is like a part of Minneapolis, but it's like it's just different areas all over the city.
In the Ferguson riots, one area, one street.
And then there was some stuff that happened, like, in a southern part of St. Louis County.
Yeah.
Well, Baltimore was pretty widespread, though.
Oh, yeah.
Baltimore was widespread.
We walked around all over.
We were driving.
We saw people randomly, like, jumping through windows, like, smashing windows out.
Yeah.
So there's actually – so let me show you the breaking news stuff first, right?
So NBC News reporting unrest erupts again. Yeah. So there's there's actually. So let me show you the breaking news stuff first. Right.
So NBC News reporting unrest erupts again after death of George Floyd. Minnesota governor activates National Guard. They're coming in. This is where things get spicy, man.
Yeah. I've seen the National Guard get called in before, but I've not seen them called in a
situation this bad. So I'm curious as to as to what happens with the National Guard in Baltimore.
I don't think so.
Okay, so what are the sound devices, LAR?
LRAD.
LRADs.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That was Baltimore PD that had those?
Everybody's got those.
Okay, okay.
Long-range acoustic device.
Yeah, yeah.
These things, if you've ever heard these things, man, these are brutal.
Yeah.
I don't think we heard them, though.
They're weapons, but I've heard them so many times.
Yeah.
I actually did this thing where I went to a Brazilian expo where they were, like, showing off weapons,
and the French outright company is all proud, and they're, like, blasting at everybody.
It's like, wah, wah, wah, wah.
So what it does – what they use it for, for the most part, is to make announcements.
Okay.
It's impressively loud.
If you're standing, like, a block away from the cops, when they turn it on, it sounds like someone's standing right in front of you saying, you need to leave.
This is a direct order.
And you're like, whoa.
Literally sounds like they're standing in front of you and you can see them at the end of the block.
Wow.
When they put it on weapon mode.
Make your ears bleed.
The chirping doesn't bother me all that much.
No?
They do a really, really loud and high-pitched chirp and and you cover your ears, and it's meant to, like, be distracting.
Yeah.
But these things can make your ears bleed if they actually weaponize them to the max.
They could probably blow out your eardrums.
And they can knock you on the ground.
That's the craziest thing.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, they can do really, really, really loud.
So they say.
I've never seen it done.
Okay.
I have seen people get, like, I guess I could argue a minor injury.
Like, ah, and they fall down.
Like, they've done it too loud.
But, yeah, man.
So we're seeing all this stuff pop off.
It's been going on nonstop.
They burned down low-income housing.
They burned down AutoZone, I think, like some other buildings.
Wendy's and McDonald's.
Wendy's!
Yeah.
That's me.
How dare you.
And I mean this somewhat jokingly, but like for serious, like why?
Why?
It's the best fast food restaurant.
I don't get it.
It's just a restaurant.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Like what?
How is?
And the craziest thing to me is like on Twitter, they're all saying things like, you know,
if you're if if if, you know, an unarmed black man was killed by the police and the only
thing you're caring about is that they're burning down buildings, that you're part of the problem.
And I'm like, dude, you burn down low-income housing.
In places people work.
You're the baddie.
You know what I mean?
You're the one who lives there.
Why are you burning your own place?
Well, it was like being built.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So like new buildings.
A new building meant to help poor people that the community is pitching in for.
You don't get it.
It's like, you're the baddie, dude.
Yeah.
They don't get it.'re you're the baddie dude yeah these are the they don't they don't they don't get it i'll tell you what when you watch when you watch a video of someone going and taking a tv i'm like that's not justice dude
no you don't need the tv but then they'll re-at you and say this is what you get though this is
what you what you you take it's your target bro no i don't live there it's true what is what i get
this is what's crazy to me about these riots, man.
They don't affect rich people.
They affect poor people.
And this is why this is this is amazing.
Yeah.
There's a conspiracy theory that the writing is started by the cops or by, you know, I
was I was looking into this because people kept posting at me saying, look, look at this.
This is what it was actually like some white folks that started this.
And I didn't find anything.
Bro, I would be absolutely unsurprised if white Antifa started this.
Okay.
I'd be like, what else is new?
I've been to so many of these protests, even in New York.
They do.
What?
The white Antifa far leftists will crouch down in the crowd walk into the middle of
random innocent peaceful protesters and then chuck a bottle at the cops and then the cops start
beating the innocent you know the regular peaceful protesters and then it makes everyone go nuts
oh okay the the the far leftists call them what you want saboteurs aggressors what what what's
the what's the word i'm thinking of uh there's a? No, no, there's a word. Instigators?
No, no, no.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
Man, what's the word
they call them? People who infiltrate to start the violence.
Spies? No, no, no.
There's been evidence in the past that the police
have done this, but a cop is so obvious
in these crowds. Even if they're
wearing street clothes, you're like, dude, come on, man.
Yeah, they have a stance.
It's not even that. We've seen 45-year-old
6'3
dudes that are
middle-aged, you're
kind of muscular, you're standing
tall and straight, and everyone else is a lanky
almost crippled
gaunt white
college student.
Not all of them are cops.
But sometimes it's very obvious,
especially on the boots they're wearing.
But I did talk about this earlier today.
In Ferguson, they definitely thought it was a conspiracy because they thought the police were trying to start the riots.
The people who were rioting weren't from there.
And that's something we actually heard
again about Minnesota.
The people who are rioting right now in Minneapolis
aren't from there. So, that's what I heard.
So they wrote in just to get some free stuff.
Free stuff, baby. What's really
frustrating is that you have these far-left
magazines that write, there was
an article that was written, it was called In Defense of
Looting, and they were trying to
argue that this is the most
evil, evil thing I've ever
seen. Evil.
They argue that the people in these communities
are rioting to push back on the oppressive system
and finally take what's theirs and blah, blah, blah.
The only problem?
In Ferguson, the people rioting didn't live in Ferguson.
So what was happening was you had this moment
where these Ferguson residents linked arms
to defend the liquor store.
That was one of the stores being looted.
And they were basically saying, please help us.
These people who don't live here are destroying our community.
And then the leftists are like, well, they're only looting to fight back against oppression.
Meanwhile, the poor, underprivileged community is saying, please, please stop them.
Yeah.
That was gruesome.
What just makes me think of this tweet that I retweeted from Dominic Clare.
He started by saying, if I ever get killed by the police, I beg you not to
burn my city and my community to the ground.
And I was like, man. And then
he added more. He said, we are
angry. Great. Let's use that.
But let's not let George Floyd
die in vain. And that's what
feel like it's happening. It's like
any upper hand that they had
that they should have used, they're losing.
And it's not even them.
Exactly.
Which is the point that you're making.
It's being stolen from them.
It's being stolen from them.
Exactly.
And then you have these high profile activists, for whatever reason, defend the opportunists
who are exploiting this community.
You want to know what's really sad?
Man, this one got me.
A video surfaced of George Floyd telling kids to knock off the gang culture, gun violence stuff.
You're not being tough when you do this.
And he's like, you know, I.
That's awesome.
Like, I know we need to remember his message.
Like, you know, what a boss.
You know, you know, you know why he got stopped by the cops?
No.
Oh, yeah.
You mentioned a $20 counterfeit bill.
He probably didn't even know.
Maybe.
I'm not going to assume
he did or he didn't.
Well, in this country,
he's innocent until proven guilty.
Right.
So as far as I'm concerned,
he's an innocent man.
First and foremost.
Or was an innocent man.
I know because I know
people are going to say this.
First and foremost,
no matter what he did,
he should have died.
Absolutely.
Here's the thing, too,
about this country.
You can be a bloodthirsty murderer rampaging around like,
and we still catch you and you stand trial.
We made the Nazis stand trial because we want everyone to see and know exactly what they did,
why they did it, and why we do this to maintain that standard and say we believe in justice and truth and exposing this.
And that's one of the biggest problems when they do this.
And it's terrifying that in this country people assume if you're arrested, you're guilty.
So first and foremost, I don't care what he did.
He stands trial.
Everyone does.
And people are saying this about some of the worst of the worst terrorists in the world.
We want them to stand trial for their crimes.
We want them to sit in that chair so we can point the finger and we can provide that justice,
that moment to the victims, no matter who they are. So this so this guy i don't care but then you realize they claimed he was
resisting then we see a video where it's like at at worst it seems like he may have passively
resisted by falling over yeah or maybe fell over which which isn't resisting right if you if you
just go limp right exactly it's it's it's the opposite of resisting. It might be annoying for the cops, but going limp, they pick you up and then it's like
activists are told, specifically by lawyers, you know, just like you're a ragdoll.
Yeah.
Because then they'll pick you up and they'll carry you on.
I get this guy was big.
But even if he was doing that, let's say he did decide to passively resist, which I don't
think he did.
Why knee on his neck?
Right. Why? And his neck? Right.
Why?
And then to make it all worse, a $20 bill?
This is why this all happened?
Yeah.
A counterfeit $20 bill.
Wait.
You mean to tell me these cops were like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We got $20.
Get all these guys.
Round them all up.
Throw them on the ground.
Seriously?
That's crazy to me.
Like, when you watch the the video they have him sitting up
against the wall and then they walk over pick him up and start walking to the car and then you see
him it looks like he may fall over near the car i'm not entirely sure it's hard to tell okay and
then we don't know what happens next but in the next video you see the cop with the knee on his
neck and he's saying please please he can breathe. How does this happen over these trivial things?
All I know is he was alive when the cop was on his neck.
Right.
That is a fact.
There's a video of that.
And then he's dead.
And I'm laughing because it's like, the reason I'm laughing is it's just the absurdity of how simple all of this is.
Yeah.
A guy's got, you got your knee on his neck.
Mm-hmm.
I can't breathe.
Please, please get your knee off his neck, dude.
As soon as you're in their custody, they're responsible.
Right.
Yeah.
Is that not the law?
That makes perfect sense.
I'm fairly certain that's the way it is.
Check this out.
As soon as they handcuff you, you're in their custody and they're your responsibility.
Check out this clip.
Oh, this out. As soon as they handcuff you, you're in their custody and they're your responsibility. Check out this clip. Oh, this guy.
Minnesota prosecutor says video showing George Floyd's death is terrible, but says there's
other evidence that does not support a criminal charge.
You know, man, I'm the last person on the planet.
Then why did you fire them then?
If they were supposedly doing their job and there's other evidence that doesn't support
any criminal charge.
To be fair, I think there's a line between losing your job and
going to prison. And being prosecuted for
killing somebody. I mean like
if you work at a cafe
and you take coffee and you slam
it on the ground like they're going to fire you.
Now if you do the same thing but in an old
man's face, then you get arrested.
But isn't manslaughter when someone dies
and it's not, you're not
murdering somebody but someone dies because of something you did.
Exactly.
Right.
That's still something that he needs to be held accountable.
Right.
It's manslaughter.
Right.
I agree.
And I think the argument they're going to go with is, boy, cops are supposed to subdue people.
Therefore, it's not manslaughter.
He seemed pretty subdued.
This is what they do when it comes to police
and these kinds of incidents.
They say,
in a normal circumstance,
if you kill this person,
it would be manslaughter.
However, because the police
are tasked with going
to the community
and engaging with people
in this way,
and sometimes they have
to subdue people,
it's the normal course
of his job.
It was an accident.
They're probably going to argue
the knee on the neck is a standard procedure know procedure to subdue someone and he didn't realize or something
like that but that's not that's not standard procedure i've had people hit me up today
about it saying it's not even someone in chat i believe earlier said in i have a friend in the pd
that says that is not standard procedure to kneel on someone's neck. I've had that happen to me.
Someone knelt on your neck. Yes.
A cop.
In Chicago.
Well, it's not standard procedure.
Shouldn't be done.
I'm not saying, yeah, right, right, right.
It's them taking their power and doing whatever they want to do.
I'm saying they argue like, oh, like in Eric Garner, they said no one used a chokehold.
Then a video came out, you see the guy going like.
Right.
Clearly chokeholding him.
I'll be careful because, you know, I know a lot of people have followed up
on these stories. When I mentioned Freddie Gray, people were like,
hey, Tim, you were wrong about this. I'm like, right, right, right. I haven't read
the Freddie Gray stuff, followed up on it
in a long time.
I don't know how we solve for this
problem. I don't like the idea
that the only reason anything's happening is because
of an outrage mob. And we have no
like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Like with the Ahmaud Arbery stuff, I'm like, dude, unless we have hard evidence, this is a really murky case.
This one, it's like that guy was saying, please, I'm dying. Yeah. And you didn't do anything.
You know what I mean? Imagine imagine this way. Imagine there's a guy laying on the ground
and there's no cop on his neck. Imagine there's three cops surrounding a guy on the ground who's
who's grasping at his chest saying, help me, I'm dying.
And when people try to get close, the cops push him back.
And then the guy dies on the ground.
They would still be responsible for that.
You see what I'm saying?
Yeah.
You're right.
If it really was, even if the cop didn't do anything to him, it's like there's a guy dying saying, please, I'm dying.
Then you've got to administer some kind of help.
I get it.
People say criminals like to lie and pretend they're sick and they're dying, so cops just
don't care anymore.
And I'm like, I get it, but that doesn't matter.
You can't assume someone's faking it because sometimes people fake it.
The standard is on you.
You are using the power of the state against a citizen who has constitutional rights, and
so you always have that higher standard.
You can't get relaxed.
And what I'm seeing now is, oh, well, he just got fired.
That's it.
That's setting the precedent that cops can continue doing what they've been doing
because this isn't the first time this has happened.
You know what's the worst thing about this, though?
Tell me.
The rioting actually starts to break that precedent.
And it started to.
And I would argue now it's reversed it in a sense.
So, like, at first, you would hear a lot of these stories,
and they would immediately come out and say,
we're not charging or firing anybody, and everyone would get mad.
Then riots started happening.
Yeah, it's different.
Now they panic.
Yeah.
Now they're like, we fired them.
You're right.
It was racism.
The FBI is coming in. These guys are going down. Now they're like, we fired them. You're right. It was racism. The FBI is coming in.
These guys are going down and they still riot.
And thus proving and riot worse.
From the beginning.
Yeah.
I could not believe how fast it was.
Thus proving capitulating to the rioting did nothing.
Well, because everybody, including me, are going, they're just getting fired.
That's it.
They're getting they're getting
away with manslaughter what you're arguing is the so what these people are arguing is because
these guys weren't arrested charged or indicted and convicted in 24 hours they're going to riot
it's like well hold on just happened and everyone agrees with you the president's called it out and
directed the fbi the fbi is investigating the mayor said it was a racist situation be, you know, these guys need to face justice and justice will be had.
The guys were immediately fired.
Yeah.
And now we're waiting.
That's a good point.
You're right.
That's a good point.
But nobody wants to wait.
So why should anyone do anything if apologizing and actually giving in does nothing?
So you could argue all the bad writing and everything we saw.
Well, for a minute there, maybe they made a point.
If they didn't write and they said they could have come up triumphantly and said, you know, all those riots in the past.
It's the only reason these people are listening to us now.
True.
No, they're not going to listen to you, bro, because the writing in the past meant nothing.
Because as soon as they do give in, you still write.
It's like cancel culture.
You know, Jimmy Fallon apologizes.
You see that Twitter thread?
He apologizes for that joke
20 years ago. They don't care.
No, they tear into him like crazy. Here, pull up
the Twitter because we got some images from
Unicorn Riot. If you guys aren't familiar, Unicorn
Riot is like a lefty
independent non-profit news.
They actually operate out of Minnesota.
And they got a bunch of photos going back
a couple hours. They said that Verizon
has windows smashed out. Look at these. We got some photos of tear gas. a couple hours. They said that Verizon, its windows smashed out.
Look at these.
We got some photos of tear gas.
It looks like in a parking lot of a... It looks like a Super Target.
Yeah, it's like a Super Target shop.
Look at this, man.
The vitamin shop.
They took out noodles and company.
Now, that's the line, man.
I'm kidding, by the way.
Look at Verizon.
They got shutters.
They're not playing around.
Oh, man.
Check this out.
They got video here.
Tear gas in a target parking
lot dozens of police vehicles lined up in front of target a burning bush in front of the building
was extinguished they're trying to start you were right it was a super target it was yeah do you
see the look it's a super target oh yeah they're trying to start fires in the middle of the day
they never stopped and so i think i think that's it for this thread.
But I actually have a...
It was like 3 p.m. today.
They've been posting more.
So this one is actually from 7.47 p.m. Eastern.
So right before we started, we got this video of...
Oh, hold on.
Let me do this.
Let me...
Whoa, what are they shooting at?
Let me turn on the audio for you guys.
So it sounds like tear gas.
Do you hear that?
People stole cars from here earlier.
So they're stealing cars.
You hear about the guy in the pawn shop?
Yeah.
The one that got shot and killed?
Yep.
And everyone's mad about it?
Ah, man.
Look.
You're mad that the guy defended his property?
I'm anti-death penalty.
Yeah.
And I'm not going to argue against...
You break into someone's house.
Yeah.
They defend themselves from you.
So the point is, I don't want anyone to die.
Yeah.
Agreed.
So if you're trying to break in and you're attacking their property, I don't want anyone to die. Yeah. So if someone if you're trying to break in and like you're attacking
their property
I don't want the store owner
to die.
Then you know
it falls down onto the
There's more of you
than there are of him.
The dude who dies
is the dude who
kicked the door in.
Yep.
And that's what happened.
And people are freaking out about it.
And the crazy thing too
is the cops are doing CPR
on the guy
and people thought
the cops did it.
They're just making
everything worse.
So here's another clip from Unicorn Riot.
They're doing an ongoing thread. This is from 15 minutes ago.
Protesters moved east
from the furniture barn back towards the target.
Police with riot gear are clearing the Verizon
store. Messages sprayed with black paint
left of the windows. Rip George.
And then I think it says F12
Black Lives Matter. George Floyd
protests are ongoing in the Twin Cities.
And New York, as we
know it now. So I don't know what
other tweets I have. Oh, so this is the Cassandra stuff.
We'll get to that in a second. We'll talk about the
what you call it,
the pawn shop.
So, anyway, I think
we have this. We can talk a bit
now about the online reaction, too.
Unless, I don't know, is there anything you
thought we should tackle?
I mean, we don't know. I mean we we've said it all i feel yeah you know there's i guess we can we can throw it's a shame because it does truly feel like they're just taking advantage of
george now and it seems like he was such an amazing person going up again going against this
kind of violence you know i wish i wish you had that video pulled up you know because i want i want people to know that i didn't even know you told me this earlier
and i was like wow that was such a cool video what an awesome dude what a shame that he has
now lost his life because he moved you know when he's getting angry i'm getting angry bro
i'm getting real angry right now man why george floyd calls for an end to gun violence and resurface video it's like man this is the kind of people we need in this world you know and and he was taken out
for a 20 bill i'll be as i'm finding out a 20 bill i mean that's that's what's reported i'll
be the uh the wet blanket because i'm always you know pulling back he might not been a saint
you know true he could be He might not been a saint.
You know what I mean?
True.
He could be,
he could be that,
that nasty guy who comes to your house,
farts all over the place,
takes your food and walks out and you're like,
man,
I can't.
Sure.
And,
and he's still just another dude and he's got to,
and,
but this video just lends so much more to his character. And I'm just like,
I agree.
This is the guy.
Yep.
I wish,
I wish,
I wish this message.
Our,
our young generation is clearly lost,
man.
Let me read this for you guys.
This is from the New York Post.
George Floyd calls for an end to gun violence in a resurfaced video.
George Floyd, the 46-year-old Minnesota man who died at the hands of white cops, urged the younger generation to put an end to gun violence in newly emerged video, according to a report.
It's clearly the generation after us that's so lost, man.
I agree with him, dude.
Boom.
But, you know, older generations always say it's about younger generations.
That's true.
Floyd says in the undated footage that circulated on Twitter on Wednesday before urging them to come home.
Our young are clearly lost, man.
Clearly lost.
I don't even know what to say anymore.
You youngster is just going around busting guns in crowds, kids getting killed.
Floyd also expressed his disgust after hearing that an adult had apparently condoned the use
of firearms. Man, I knew it was crazy. Then a N-word my age saying it and condoning this S bro.
You know what I'm saying? And half of them young N-word shooting guns go home and their knees
shaking at night, but they don't show it to nobody because they aren't tough then.
Come on now.
Come on home, man.
It's going to be you and God.
You're going up or you're going down.
Floyd died.
Man.
Oof.
I'm pissed.
That's heavy, yo.
Seriously, dude.
That makes me angry.
Growing up in Chicago, one of the biggest problems I have, and that's something that's often brought up a lot by conservatives, is that there's a lot of gun violence among young people in the black community in Chicago.
Yeah.
And I did an interview with a woman who was amazingly pro-Second Amendment, Chicago, urban liberal.
And she said, we need to stop the illegal guns, man.
She was like, I should have a right to carry my weapon, to protect myself.
And we got to do something to stop the illegal guns these people are getting.
And that's the big problem we're looking at.
And she was talking about gun violence and stuff.
And like growing up in Chicago, I'm like, dude, yes.
It just makes everything worse.
Like, bro, if you, you know, one of the leading cause of gun violence among young people in Chicago is?
What?
They think it's gang.
It's not.
It's like social media beef.
What? It's social media gang. It's not. It's like social media beef. What?
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
Social media beef.
Oh, my gosh.
So there was one story that I was on.
It was a nightcrawler beat.
I went out with some journalists.
We found out some dude got killed because someone on Snapchat called him, you know,
a punk A, B, you know, messing with my girl and stuff like that.
So the dude gets in his car and drives up and bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
I don't know a lot of...
I don't know who this guy was, George Floyd.
I don't know about his personal life.
And I don't know about
most of his character.
Just because you see one or two good things.
But I'll tell you this.
If I don't know you, I'm going to
assume in a more positive direction
to try and be a more optimistic person.
Yeah, for sure.
Same.
Especially when it comes to issues of law enforcement.
But I'll tack on this.
I'm totally biased right now, especially after seeing this video.
The only image I have of this man right now is that he was a good dude.
That's the assumption I'm making.
Against gun violence.
Against gun violence.
Trying to help his community.
Think about what he said.
It's going to be you and God.
You're going up or you're going down.
He's telling those kids to get right yeah that makes me angry man and then
when i think about you know when i see these videos like the cop walking into the car you
don't know what happened you don't know how if things got crazy right you add this to that you
add the previous video it wasn't resisting and now it's like hold on hold on and then you add
the picture of the cop that's kneeling on his neck.
Dude.
Make America white again.
Wearing that hat.
Why would he be wearing that white hat?
What do you mean?
Did you not see this?
The picture of him?
It's the same cop wearing.
Make America white again.
He was wearing that hat?
Yes.
No way.
I don't know if it's true or not, but I've seen it floating around.
That sounds fake, dude.
I've seen it floating around.
That would be like.
But people are.
I mean, people are. I've seen it. If I've seen it, they've seen it. Let dude. I've seen it floating around. That would be like. But people are, I mean, people are, I've seen it.
If I've seen it, they've seen it.
Let's pull up.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Find it.
Yeah.
Let's investigate this for sure.
Actually, can you start digging that up?
Because I think it's going to require a little bit.
Oh, I already know.
We've got to be real careful on that stuff.
I already know.
Well, for the record, I've seen this picture floating around a lot today.
Is it like.
They're spreading it around.
They got a picture of him on his neck
and the picture next to each other
and they're like, boom.
So in a different picture,
this guy was wearing that.
Different picture, yeah.
Oh, man.
We definitely got to find that.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, it's...
But think about that, you know?
It's like, man, that's...
If this is the case,
it's not only...
Okay, so people are saying
it's a fake picture.
Yeah, that's what they... It's not the... Okay, so people are saying it's a fake picture. Yeah, that's a fake picture.
It's not the same guy.
All right, so it being fake, that's still being spread around.
Yeah, it's a little piece of propaganda.
Yeah, it's more Tinder on the flame of what's going on today.
Let me just give a shout out to the chat.
We have the best fact checkers in real time.
Oh my gosh, look at this.
I love it.
Yo, seriously, I love our chat.
I love it.
I love our chat.
Yo, shout out to all our people here with us because you guys at this. I love it. Oh, yo, seriously, I love our chat. I love it. I love our chat.
Yo, shout out to all our people here with us because you guys are awesome.
I really appreciate you all.
We got 50 million chats coming in
like every second
and it's all fake, fake, fake, fake.
Good, that's cool, you know?
That's great.
But I'm like, here's the thing.
I can't read any individual one,
but seeing fake a thousand times,
I'm like, we got it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm glad it is fake.
But that's fine, that's fine.
I wasn't saying that that is the case.
It is out there and people believe it because that is what happened.
They don't even read an article.
They see the title and post it along and be like, see, I'm justified.
Let's go loot more.
This is what's really making me angry.
Yeah.
That I was talking to a friend of mine who is lefty.
Yeah.
Doesn't follow any conservative news, any conservative personalities.
And I brought up that they're showing these memes of libertarian and conservative two-way activists standing on the steps of Michigan or, you know, reopen activists.
Yeah.
And they're saying things like, look what happens when these white people with guns, no one does anything to them.
And the joking thing, the first and foremost is like, makes a good point about the Second
Amendment, right?
Like the cops don't want to get there.
Someone made a really great point about this.
They tweeted at me and they said, it's not there.
Someone tweeted something like, if you give all these rioters weapons and the police are
firing tear gas, what do you think would happen?
And they responded with no, because the police would be very, very careful if they were dealing with armed activists marching.
Fully armed activists.
They wouldn't just start firing at people.
They would back off and they'd calm down because they're trying to desperately avoid a confrontation.
They'd have to de-escalate.
Here's what really bugged me out.
Talking to my friend.
No, digging my friend. My friend just, you know, I was like, it's sad to me that these, like, 2A activists standing on these steps agree about this guy getting his life taken away from him.
Yep.
And I'm like, this could have been an amazing moment to say, you know, we may disagree on a lot having to do with this.
Yeah.
But we can all agree there needs to be justice.
And then there could have been this unity.
But it really, really messes with me when you see the left doesn't care about what conservatives
think they don't care who these people are yeah and why are i'm like why are you ragging on these
these guys didn't do anything to you this was an opportunity for you to like reach out your hand
and say we need your help like this guy's rights were violated. And they would have been like, yeah. It's sad, man.
People are so driven by tribalism.
Who did it?
Anyway, I was telling my friend, I was like,
what's really fascinating right now about what's happening
across the country is that these urban
cops have lost the goodwill of
so many individuals
on the right for violating the
Constitution with these decrees.
I'm not talking about small town cops. I'm talking about nypd and lapd when they were given an executive decree by
the governor and then all these conservatives were like you can't do this and they were like
watch me it's like wow oath and i'm seeing people call them oath breakers and i'm like yes technically
correct that is correct yep because we saw the good cops like that guy in seattle yep i'm not
gonna enforce these unconstitutional laws you can't make it gets fired he gets fired for it
it's like that's a boss right there dude yeah upholding the constitution you know what i really
there was there was a there was a i think what i think it was the mother of all rallies it was
called where a bunch of trump supporters doing a big thing in dc black lives matter shut up to
protest it and then the trump supporters invited him on stage.
I love that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was, I think it was
Hank Newsom,
who was a Black Lives Matter
lefty cultural guy.
Okay.
A lot of things
I disagree with him on,
but he's a cool dude.
He really is.
I think he's a cool dude.
So he shows up
and they're there to protest,
but the Trump supporters
were like,
why don't you come on stage
and tell us?
Like, we want to respect you
and this is America.
Yeah, we want to hear
your side of things.
And you know what ended up happening?
At first, everyone was a little apprehensive.
And then I think it was Hank he said, we're not anti-cop.
We're anti-bad cop.
Boom.
We want our constitutional rights.
And then the crowd goes, yeah.
That's great.
Yeah, we can all agree on that.
And I'm like, yes.
The crowd, yeah, exactly.
And he probably wasn't expecting that.
No, they thought they were enemies.
Right.
And then when he came down, apparently, there's photos like everyone's like trying to
get pictures with him and they're like you're really great like this is exactly what we've
been saying yeah not realizing and that you know what makes me angry you see these sarah silverman
you see you see celebrities they're the ones driving a wedge between us because we may disagree
on like racial issues and social justice but we agree on our fundamental rights and there's and there's a line where we might be like
i won't stand next to you because i think you're going nuts but for fundamental issues like this
we can solve this problem i think it's uh to be a bit more on the conspiratorial side and say
they don't want us to yeah you know what i mean i think i mentioned this the other day that comic
about occupy wall street yeah it's a it's a it's a fat cat rich guy in his room and then there's a They don't want us to. Yeah. You know what I mean? I think I mentioned this the other day, that comic about Occupy Wall Street.
Yeah.
It's a fat cat, rich guy in his room.
And then there's a bunch of people outside with Occupy signs.
And then he's on the phone laughing, saying, introduce them to identity politics.
And that's it.
And then all of a sudden they're fighting each other.
And that's.
They're trying to maintain that class system that they have in place.
Make the poor people fight each other.
And they don't got to fight us.
That's what the crazy thing about Occupy.
Occupy was everybody versus the 1%.
And then all of a sudden, the millionaire black woman is now oppressed and the homeless
white man is the oppressor.
So would you say that that was the start of this?
Identity politics.
Occupy?
Occupy. that was the start of this identity politics occupy occupy um occupy was one of the first
social justice like moments in culture okay but it had started a couple years earlier in media
and then it manifested physically as far as i can tell for the first time with occupy wall street
it was very because even during, it wasn't absolute.
Right.
Like the social justice, SJW dogma stuff, it wasn't absolute.
There were people arguing over it.
If there was an Occupy protest today, it would 100% be social justice dogma intersectionality.
I always call it, you know, that's the proper name.
Yeah.
Back then, a lot of people disagreed with it.
And there was only a small handful of people enforcing it.
Because half of the park didn't
agree with it, and half did.
This is a crazy story, man, with Occupy. There was
a group of people living in the park
who separated and formed their own governing
body. They called it the General Union.
The General Assembly
was the power structure. It was
college-educated, upper-class,
and trust fund kids.
They lived in Brooklyn. They would take the train to the park, hold meetings dictating what to do with all the
money they raised. The people who lived in the park, the poor people, decided because they
couldn't get fair representation at the General Assembly that they would create their own system
called the General Union, where your voting power was based on your tent. So you had all these
tents. And they said, everybody sends a rep from their tent. So you had all these tents.
And they said, everybody sends a rep from their tent.
So if there's two or three people in a tent,
one person goes and we make decisions.
They were going to have their own meeting on the other side of the park.
It was the west side of the park.
And facilitators, they called them,
showed up and shut the event down
and wouldn't let them organize.
It was the creepiest thing I'd ever seen.
Yep.
And one of the dudes who organized
started crying so like i got threatened by two guys they they said they told me to shut up or
they'd shut me up because i was just filming i was filming i'm like these guys have something
to say and they were like the the general assembly activists showed up to their side
and started going mic check mic check mic check and over again. And the crowd just mindlessly drones along
so that no meeting could take place.
That was creepy.
That was really creepy.
And then the only thing you could do,
they started,
was go to the General Assembly.
They started putting up flyers saying
anybody collecting donations for Occupy
was scamming you.
So the only way to give them money
was through their official channel
where they made a bunch of money. One guy was spending nights at luxury hotels people were stealing stuff oh man yep
yep and like corruption absolute corruption absolute corruption and there was one moment
the way that because the general assembly didn't work it was like the general assembly was everyone
sits down and then they say i want to do this and then everyone raises their hands if someone
blocked it by making an x it was stopped until you could get past that block.
One block, it was done unless they moved for like a super majority.
And there was one moment where they were trying to do something with money and there were
a bunch of people blocking it.
And so then they said, we can't move forward because we have all these blocks.
We're going to vote for a super majority.
And the guy just, everyone raises their hands and a bunch of people make the block sign.
And then he goes, yep, yep, we got it.
We're good.
And then they're like, wait, what?
No, he goes, no, we're good.
We're good, everybody.
And then they were like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Wait, what?
He didn't even count.
Yeah.
No, he lied.
He just rushed it through.
One woman claimed that she, like she said, I guess privately that it got too complicated dealing with what people wanted to vote on.
So she would just buy whatever she wanted with the money.
Wow.
She's honest.
Yeah.
So anyway, I know I'm going off on a tangent on Occupy stuff.
That's all right.
But early on, I guess a lot of people don't know this.
There were older people there.
There were libertarians there.
There were people waving the American flag.
There were conservatives.
And two things conspired to end that the first is that young people have more ability to just
sleep in a park there was like a 60 year old man and woman they can't sleep in a park so their
woodstock days are over right they they showed up they were there for one weekend came back the next
weekend and then went home the people who had jobs said that was a fun weekend and went home
but the people who were, there was
a couple trust fund kids there. They just had trust
funds. They didn't have to do anything.
So they were there all the time, controlling and dictating
and completely clueless how to make these things
run. So you ended up
with conservatives who have jobs,
libertarians who have jobs,
and older people who tended to be conservative
needing to leave, leaving
nothing but young idealists who didn't work.
Interesting. Natural selection.
And then several weeks later, it was a bunch of young people who didn't do anything.
There was a lot of corruption, man.
There was one, something happened where rumors started spreading
that Radiohead was going to play a performance.
Totally fake.
And then when thousands of people showed up, they were like,
Radiohead's not playing, but
now we're going to do a general assembly and you're going to stay.
And everyone was scared because they didn't want to create the appearance that they only
showed up for Radiohead.
So it tricked thousands of people into staying in the park for that duration.
Yeah.
Dude, that stuff was so corrupt.
And what's funny is, you know what's really, really scary about my experience with Occupy Wall Street?
What?
I'm not going to write a book about it.
The people who do write books about it are the ones who are romanticizing it.
You've got to write a book about it, Tim.
Nope.
Why not?
Because I don't care.
Oh.
And that's the point.
Maybe if I write a book at some point, I will write about it.
Yeah.
But you know what will happen?
12, 24 24 36 activists will
say temple's lung that never happened and they'll say oh well it's disputed see all of these people
who are there agree yeah all the people who want it to be glorified right who ignore the corruption
who ignore how money was stolen part of it yeah yeah exactly the people who'd be accused would
be so so what'll happen is
they'll do a fact check
and they'll be like,
well, they say it never happened.
You say it did.
And this other guy said you're lying.
So now we have three people
saying you're lying.
That's why I'm not
going to get involved.
There have already been books
written about it
that glorify everything.
Well, I was there with you.
I can vouch for you.
Yeah.
Second person.
Yeah.
That's when I first met you.
You did?
Mm-hmm.
Really?
I don't remember meeting you at Occupy.
Yeah.
Holy cow.
You briefly,
you mentioned it before,
but I only remember meeting you at the game shop in 2014.
That's what, yeah, that's true.
Well, I was there at Wall Street and I saw you and Luke.
Oh, right on.
And I think I said, no, I don't think I said anything.
Maybe we didn't meet at that time.
Were you like, oh, that's the first time we met?
Yeah, it was at the game shop, yeah. And then you were like, come hang out play poker night but it's magic yeah yeah cool yeah i went down there a few times though yep wow at first it was
kind of cool something all happening it had this period where it became colonial williamsburg
where like people were tourists were walking in one of the funniest things was when they gave
dumpster food to tourists i loved it i walked up and i watched them handing out food to tourists like tours would come by and they would have food
laid out and they'd be like oh what's this like it's free you can have it little did i know there
was vegan pizza no i wasn't vegan at the time but no it was funny because uh i watched i watched
them giving out food and then i asked them where they got the food from and they were like dumpster
diving yeah and i said are you crazy do you have any idea what the would say if they found out you were giving dumpster food to people?
And they immediately panicked and, like, shuffled it into the trash and were like, oops.
What were they thinking?
They're idealistic hippies who think that, like, dumpster food is fine.
Like, they weren't giving people, like, rotten burgers that were half-eaten.
It's, like, stuff people throw away.
It was, like, sealed yogurts that were like a day from expiration.
And the point I'm making is not that
they've got moldy food. Freagans.
Exactly. They were freagans.
They were finding stores that were getting rid of food
that was about to spoil or a couple days past
expiration. And they're like, it's still
food and it's still good. You know what's
scary about that though? These freagans don't realize
that you might not see the mold or the
botulism on it.
I think it's gross.
That's why you get rid of it.
It's gross.
They say that, like, when you see the mold on the bread, that means the bread was already moldy.
Like, the mold is on it before you can't see it. Oh, yeah.
They were giving that stuff out.
Yeah, dude.
So it's very much so in the vein of history is written by the winners.
You've got all of these activists who want it to be this gloriful, like,
the glorious revolution of Occupy
when in reality it was a mash-up
mangled, like,
conspiracy-ridden, corrupt,
really just awful thing.
But I will tell you one funny thing about it.
The evolution of music at Occupy
Wall Street was absolutely hilarious.
When Occupy first started,
people were just banging on buckets
then all of a sudden they introduced some like wind instruments then someone showed up like
then someone brought string and i'm like by the end of it there was a full band with real drums
and and i was like it was almost like the evolution of humanity and literally the evolution
yeah from the stone age exactly that's awesome Like they slowly started incorporating more and more instruments.
That to me was really, really funny.
But yeah, so let's do this.
Let's talk about Cassandra.
Yeah, let's do this.
So, okay.
It is pretty funny what's going on.
She's having a field day.
Cassandra Fairbanks is a friend of mine.
She is a high-profile journalist personality.
Twitterer.
Twitterer.
Depending on who you ask,
there's one article that calls her a MAGA fluencer.
I feel like anyone,
you either love her or you can't stand her at all.
I mean...
I don't think there's a middle ground with her.
She's just a bold personality.
She's trolling really hard.
So anyway, let me...
She's a proper troll.
Let's pull up
this tweet right here. The reason
why this story is epic is that
cancel culture is coming for Cassandra Fairbanks
and there's nothing they can do.
So let me show you this first tweet.
Cassandra, you may follow
her. She's got a couple hundred thousand followers.
She works for the Gateway Pundit. She
also writes for the District Herald and
she for a long time was like a very high profile Trump supporter. I don't know if you
could call her a Trump supporter right now, but I don't really know what to call Cassandra other
than, what did she say? Federal court says, I trolled the web through Twitter and information
terrorist per wired, free press, free speech, free Assange, District Herald. So there you go.
She's a high profile Twitterer and writer. And so she started
tweeting offensive things about the looters.
I shouldn't say offensive. She started
saying things like
looting your own community and burning down your own community
is not justice. And then people
started coming at her being like, you know, F you
you're the worst. So she leaned
hard. Oh, she leaned into the
wind. Oh yeah, dude.
So now they want to get her canceled.
And this really made my day.
Someone said, get her fired.
And she responded, you can't, LOL.
That's why this is so fun.
I've been canceled like five times, so I'm prepared.
I have multiple sources of income and they're rage mob proof.
And here's where it gets really hilarious.
It's awesome.
So this guy tweets at the district herald.
This is what we allowing now?
She can't be touched?
Oh, word.
Like he's...
Karen.
So, yeah, yeah.
Karen.
This guy's Karen times 10.
So hold on.
He tweets, he quote tweets Cassandra
adding district herald
because she writes for district herald thinking, oh, she can't be touched.
Oh, yeah, right.
Not realizing that's her.
You can't cancel her.
It's her company.
She writes for it.
And then she said, I'm never going to stop laughing at this.
And I don't know if I have the tweet pulled up.
Oh, this one's funny, too.
We'll come back to that one.
But I think it's the next one right here.
This one?
Yes, yes, there it is.
So she quote tweets the guy
who tries to get her canceled
saying, are we allowing this now?
Saying, we are shocked by this behavior
and we'll be responding appropriately
by giving her a raise.
Dude, it's amazing.
Cancel culture is failing.
Counter troll.
Counter troll.
It's, I mentioned this this i did a segment on this
earlier when joe mentioned in that interview with barry weiss that podcaster is going independent
means they can't get canceled they don't work for anybody and i'm like now this is an epic
iteration of that yeah cheers mate this is this is the best all of these you know internet karens
who are like i want to speak to the manager yep tagging your
butt like trying to tag your job to get you fired sorry buddy don't work anymore nope i hope that
as more people become independent because cassandra can't get canceled for being a troll on twitter
and she's clearly joking with a lot of the things she's saying like trying to troll people yeah
i hope companies see this and then stop reacting because what's going to happen right
now is is district carol gonna lose advertisers no no i don't even know if it does have any
is cassandra gonna get fired what she's gonna fire herself i don't think that's gonna happen
right and so now think about all the other companies that are susceptible to this
i mean what happens in the end i'll tell you man I worked for a big company and I don't want to work anymore because of this kind of stuff.
I started my own company.
I'm so happy you're my boss.
Same, honestly.
Right?
Yeah.
But now it's no one can tell me what to do.
So think about what happens at all these big companies where they have hot talent.
Do you want to risk getting fired?
No.
Nah, you got to start your own company, man.
Yeah.
Or work for someone who's awesome. Yes yes who believes in this kind of stuff right yes
like i'm sure working for cassandra at district herald you'd be fine you'd be you'd be trolling
and they would tag district herald and then she'd like high five you yeah she'd be like good job
triggering all those here's your here's your troll raise well so so your troll bonus so let me let i
have to do a shout out to this Cassandra tweet.
It's one of my favorite memes ever.
I retweeted it.
Democrats defending Joe Biden be like, don't touch my garbage.
And it's a possum snarling in a dumpster.
I believe he's reeing.
Reeing.
I just love it because it's so cute.
A little garbage mangler.
You know, like, don't touch my garbage.
That's right.
Joe Biden is garbage.
I totally forgot.
Oh, yeah.
So here's what I was going to bring up, right?
When we're talking about working for cool bosses, I can't remember which company this was.
It might be the Federalist.
You might know this one where the boss made a joke about unionizing.
Okay.
And, like, the staff is all not interested in forming a union because
they're more conservative okay but the national labor board actually went after them really so
this guy put so so here's what happens i think can you can you look this up i think it was the
federalist was it i'm looking at barstool was it barstool that was one no no barstool was was um
uh i think it was david portnoy he's the he's the guy so he made a joke about it okay and then
they've made him put up a sign and like pay a fine or something.
But there was another company where maybe it was a person.
Was it Reason?
Reason Magazine?
Yeah.
That might be it.
I'm not sure.
This is what I'm finding off the top of the.
Someone wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal about it.
Oh, okay.
Saying like basically what happened was some company announced they were going to unionize.
Okay. And then he made a joke saying like like i'll throw you in the sarlacc pit
or whatever like from star wars yeah something like that like a very clearly lit joke that was
meant to be how my joke on twitter became a federal case there you go there you go that's
members of the vox media union demanded a contract is that it how am i oh that might not be it i'll
keep looking when's it from i'm pretty sure that's it that is from april 2020 yes and so what happened was he was making fun of vox and said something of like
mocking the union yeah look look through it just like so um what company is it it's wall street
journal so i can't read the full story he's just telling a story he's under federal investigation
for making a joke on twitter in june 2019, employees at the left liberal Vox Media Inc.
walked off the job demanding a new collective bargaining agreement.
As a publisher of a conservative website, yes, the Federalist, you were right,
I found the clash ironic.
FYI, at Federalist, first one of you tries to unionize,
I swear I'll send you to the salt mine.
There you go.
Salt mine.
Back to the salt mine.
Back to the salt mine.
There's no real salt mine.
Now they're being investigated.
And even though every employee was like, he was kidding.
We really aren't concerned about union stifling.
Yeah.
The government was like, don't care.
So the government was being the Karen in this situation?
Yes.
Always.
Government Karen.
So that's the point I'm making, right?
You might work for a cool company.
That's not enough.
Yeah.
You need to be your own boss and you need to be
on a...
That's ridiculous.
If you have a certain number of employees,
you can't even make a joke because the government
will come at you and say, well, you know, you're
scaring your employees. I'd like to speak to the manager.
Yep. Literally.
As it were. This letter is for
the manager. Yeah, oh, that means
getting played out.
Here's the point. Rest assured is for the manager. Yeah, oh, that means getting played out. But here's the point.
Rest assured,
no matter what you do,
someone's going to try
and jam you up.
So you can get past
the SJWs,
but somebody working
in government
is going to use that weight
to throw against you.
And that's ridiculous.
So I don't know.
I guess we should jump
to Super Chats
because we were supposed
to stagger as we did.
And we do have a DC segment
I really want to do.
Yeah, me too. But we'll do Super Chats first. Yeah, let's do Super Chats. And we do have a DC segment I really want to do. Yeah, me too.
But we'll do Super Chats first.
Yeah, let's do Super Chats.
Well, we have two more segments, but let's do Super Chats.
I mean, arguably we have more than one.
I know we have a few more.
I think we can get to one more.
But the first thing I need to say is I was right, Adam was wrong.
It's Darkseid.
It's true.
It's true.
It's Darkseid, not Darkseid.
But you should know that because you were the one reading and watching the show more than me i know i called him dark side and you
were like no i'm pretty sure it's dark seed and i was like it's spelled weird okay you should have
stood firm so i blame you it's been a long time i blame you watched as you should always blame him
so uh let's do we're gonna jump to your super chats. And there's probably just, I got to be honest, like way too many.
But one thing you can do is smash the like button.
Smash it.
Gently.
A little tap.
Gently, please.
Smash or bust.
The screen.
Got to be able to watch it again tomorrow.
Really does help.
And make sure you follow at Timcast if you want to get skateboarding pictures of cats on Instagram.
But I complained a lot on Twitter.
So if you're into that. Complaining. Compl and stuff and making fun i know you make fun of
stuff too self-deprecating yeah it's like uh i'm sassy on twitter and people people are always like
that's the most accurate yeah like i wish i wish twitter tim was youtube tim because twitter tim
is always swearing and like going like yeah it's true they're doing the snap and i love it the
twitter equivalent of whatever that is yeah i'm like well you know that's true they're doing the snap and i love it the twitter equivalent
whatever that is yeah i'm like well you know that's like twitter is me just like flipping
up on my phone and being like and then like putting my phone down youtube is me being like
well i've done some research today and here's what i think we do the news yeah we'll do the
news and i'll give you some expression but also follow adam criggler yeah follow me there is why
don't you come to my twitter and tell me how much you can't stand me?
Oh, yeah.
I see you in chat.
I'm going to do it.
And I don't care.
You guys can, you know, this is the thing.
I'm on the show and I'm constantly learning stuff.
And I admit that I learn stuff.
I can be wrong.
And I don't care if you yell at me for being wrong.
That's all right.
That's fine.
So come at me.
Come find me on Twitter.
I'm at you, bro.
There it is. Here. Come tweet at me. Tweet how That's alright. That's fine. So come at me. Come find me on Twitter. There it is. Here. Come tweet at me.
Tweet how wrong I was. That's fine. Air your grievances. But it's okay.
But you can also give me stories that we can actually talk about on this show. And that actually works. So a lot of you help me out
a lot. I actually have a pinned tweet. You can hit me up and give me some awesome stories.
And there's
over a hundred, I think even more.
I don't even know how many
stories I got going right now.
It's great, though. I appreciate you all.
I'm going to prove this. Prove it. Take a look at this
right here. This is the tweet we showed
earlier. What is this?
At Sour Patch Lids, at Tim Katz, and at
Adam Krigler, tagged by
F. Yeah Colin on Twitter. Alerting us tagged by F. Yeah, Colin on Twitter.
Brah.
Alerting us to this news.
Yeah.
And I said that to Tim.
I'm like, hey, look at that.
Now, here's the thing for me.
I can't check all of my Twitter
notifications because I get too
many.
Yeah.
And that's why Adam is relegated
to the task of being the liaison
for the show.
Yeah.
I have a lot of fun.
Yeah.
So we can interact and go through suggestions and stuff
and more easily find that stuff.
I can't.
It's like if I click my notifications,
it's just a whole bunch of
Tim Pool is bald and like Pym Tool
and like you're a moron.
And I'm like,
okay, I get it, guys.
It's all right.
I'm going to close this now
because I can't learn anything.
Oh, yeah.
All right, let's grab these super chats.
And we got a bunch We got a bunch.
So let's let's read through this.
And then we're going to talk about the Snyder cut Darkseid and Henry Cavill may be coming
back to Batman.
No, no, no.
He is.
He's back to Batman.
It's confirmed.
I mean, Superman.
Superman.
Come on, guys.
Let's get this.
It's confirmed.
But considering how crazy everything's been, we just did this really heavy opening story.
Like, yeah, we had so much fun yesterday talking about Joe Biden farting. That was great. I hope you guys saw it. That was the best. I had a lot of fun.
That clip did really well. He was laughing and just
freeze-framing Joe Biden's face. And then today, I'm sitting here and I'm like,
I think the riots are happening right now, man. Yeah, they're going on right now.
Arrests in New York City, 30 arrests.
We ended up seeing this DC news and I'm like, this is what we need to kind of round this off at the end and have some fun and talk about Batman and Superman.
But that means we're going to talk about a bunch of, we're going to grab your super chats and we're going to read through them.
So I hope you guys are ready for this.
King Canuck says, we didn't start the fire.
It was always burning since the world's been turning.
Hoping you lovely gets and lady are eating popcorn as everything goes sideways.
Yep.
Is it gents?
Gents, yeah.
Gents, sorry.
Oh, but there's no N.
Yeah, yeah.
Gents and ladies, as everything goes sideways, riots, pandemics, and no haircuts.
Yeah, man.
I'm sitting in my bed, and I saw the news.
They were lighting everything on fire and destroying everything.
And I just look over, and there's a bow.
And I'm like, I have a bow.
Like, it's not a gun, but.
It's something.
Yeah.
And I'm like, I don't, where we are, we're kind of in the middle of nowhere.
But I don't think anything's been happening near us.
I haven't heard of any protests in Philly.
Maybe there are, but not nearly as crazy as we've seen the rest of the country.
Oh, we have Donald Trump here.
Oh, cool.
I'm sorry.
Hold on. It's Trump with two Ps. So it's not the country. Oh, we have Donald Trump here. Oh, cool. Welcome. Oh, I'm sorry. Hold on.
It's Trump with two Ps.
So it's not the same one.
Boo.
I be ripping him his right.
Fart speech is free speech.
Vote Trump, and I will make sure you're able to send people as much fart correspondence
as you like.
And you know what?
Interesting point.
Air is freely able to come out of both ends in both his speech.
That's true.
King Canuck says, Lesser note, Adam,
read The Dresden Files
by Jim Butcher.
Low fantasy noir adventure
that gradually ramps up
high fantasy.
He's a personal friend
of Sanderson
who loves the books
if that helps.
Someone else actually
said this to me.
I think during Adamcast.
I mean, it could have been you,
actually.
I don't even know.
But yeah, I'll check that out.
Dresden Files.
Note taken.
One Dollar Liner says,
Hey, Tim, just bought
the new Harumph T-shirt.
Yes.
Can't wait to get it.
When you move, please let us know your P.O. box.
I have a gift I want to send you.
Well, there's a P.O. box now,
and it's probably not going to change.
If you go to timcast.com slash donate,
there's a P.O. box, so send away.
And if you would like one of the Harumph, I say, T-shirts,
I think it's just under the YouTube video.
Yeah, just scroll down a little bit.
You should be able to just scroll down.
It's there.
And if not, it's linked.
No, it's there.
Well, it's for you, but maybe not for everybody else.
So if you don't see it, there's a link in the description.
And I'm more eager to be getting the other two t-shirts, which will be one for Adam and Lydia.
I don't know what they'll be.
I don't either.
Do you have any idea?
No, I haven't gotten back to them yet.
All right.
Well, that'll be fun, too.
Also, skateboards.
I'm working on skateboards.
And beanies.
And beanies.
Beanies are coming.
And with the beanies, yeah.
Skateboards coming, too.
It's going to be weird.
It's kind of dumb to buy yourself your own pro model.
Yeah, try it.
Some pro skateboarder got booted off a team and then started his own company and made
himself pro and everyone made fun of him for it.
And he was like, I don't care.
I make money.
I skate.
So it's like, who cares? cares yeah that's just people being jealous
of someone else's success but skateboarding is really weird because am and pro are meaningless
right so like the real definition of a professional means you get paid to do something exactly and
they call people amateur skaters and they get paychecks it makes no sense right like as soon
as they cut you a check and put you on the team you're pro but in skateboard culture it's like
you go am then you go pro it's like dude if you're a pro skateboarder if
you give skateboarding lessons like like the bare minimum wow i guess i was pro for a long time
yeah that's why i told you bro yeah but well but you mentioned that because you actually rode for
a team i also ran yeah road for a team design boards and stuff okay yeah i did that too yeah
so all right let's read some more i'dby Ripenum says, that wasn't me.
It really was Donald Trump.
I swear, you believe me, right, guys?
I don't believe it.
I believe you, Iby.
Grim Soul Banisher says, just want to clarify,
my daughter's lack of surgery is not life-threatening.
Hopefully, we get this headache sorted soon.
Also, spin the UFO.
All right.
I heard you.
And that was from an hour ago.
Ryan says, 230 applies to Reddit, right?
Spez probably regrets making them a publisher now.
Oh, yeah.
Chritian says,
Hi, Tim and Co.
Just started my own channel.
You've inspired me.
Any tips regarding camera and mic
or anything in general?
Metal forever.
When I first started making videos,
I had a GoPro 4
and I put it on top of my monitor
and I just pressed record.
Sounds great.
And then I would talk for 10 minutes
and I had barely any idea what I was doing
and I was getting like no views, but I don't know.
I like doing it.
Yeah.
So the only real advice is that you have to start somewhere with whatever you have
and just use it.
Don't worry about someone being like, you got to buy this specific camera.
Oh, get a camera.
Get one that works.
Get one that films you.
Get one that can record sound.
Your phone is probably enough.
And then don't worry too much about your gear.
Worry about refining your stuff as you go.
And being comfortable in front of the camera and speaking. That's another thing.
The big secret to successful companies, you don't want to build a castle with a heavy foundation
because then you build it and then realize you built it in the wrong spot. You want to slowly
start building and then figure out what the space you're at can accommodate and what you need to
change. It's one of the biggest mistakes startups make new businesses they'll get a big investment and
they'll be like okay we're gonna build a million dollar studio and they do and then they're like
oh the internet here isn't good enough and they go oh man we screwed up yeah instead of just
getting a little you know bedroom looking at the internet and going the internet sucks we got to
move yeah the first thing they would have done. So that's my advice. Jared
says, hey guys, listen to two police scanners all
night. Police change to different county
frequency. Hennepin County scanner
was down last I checked. Yeah, and they start,
I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to do this,
but like, something happened once where they
switched to encrypted and it created a huge controversy.
Stigma of the Rose
says, tried to super chat the no-no Chinese words
by themselves and it wouldn't let me send. Oh yeah they're censoring yep youtube is still censoring things that insult
the chinese communist party gotta love it jdr says great work timcast irl team good news sports
are back at least super bike racing moto america round one starts tomorrow at road america cool
glad to hear it uh jesus says here is my weekly due to the Beanie Union.
I was supposed to super chat yesterday, but I had to
donate the cash for a lifetime membership
to, what is that, MeUndies?
For Biden?
Oh, MeUndies for Biden.
And Swalwell seems
like they needed a fresh pair.
I hear they have interdependent
liners. Oh, do they?
Very cool.
I don't want to think about the physiology of Joe Biden as to make that sound possible.
Nope.
Big Ben Howard says, dapper, dare I say, Tim shirts when?
Dare I say.
I mean, whenever somebody made the Harumph I say shirt.
It's fantastic.
Someone commented, I want it.
Someone else made it.
And then Adam was like, check it out.
That's how our channel works. Let's do it.
Magic. Yeah, you got to tweet stuff at Adam.
So yeah, if you've got good ideas,
right there. That's how, boom,
send it to me. Or, or.
Oh, wait, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, oh, I'm over here. Boom.
Yeah, yeah. I read all my messages.
It's Sour Patch Lids with a Y.
Correct. Yeah. And if you
are listening, it's
at A-D-A-M-C-R-I-G-L-E-R.
That's my name.
Let's see. Long Dong
John says, one day there will be
10 story tall statues of Tim and Lydia
and in between them a 20 story tall
statue of Adam. Oh, very bold.
Oh, wow. Spicy.
I like that.
Blessing us. Blessing you both.
Sir Average Joe says, Fartgate 2 uh i don't want to like electric poogaloo also when you have so much overreach by government how should they expect people to react this isn't our first rodeo
i think what's really crazy about this is there was actually like um a photo of a guy holding
the boogaloo flag in Minnesota. And then? That's not
a lefty kind of thing. I mean, I don't
know what to call it, but it's people saying like
Boogaloo, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's not what you'd expect
from Antifa. Or maybe you would,
I guess.
Minmax says, Tim, the other day
Trudeau had a journalist from Rebel News
dragged out of a press event for no reason.
Please cover this. It's right up your alley.
It is. It is Canada. And's right up your alley. It is.
It is Canada. And so, I mean this
with all due respect. I don't know enough about Canada.
So, Canada has come up in certain stories. I have done
videos about Trudeau, but I probably
sound... I sound
stupid enough as it is, let alone
talking about a different country.
Connor Anderson says, I live at the Stone Arch
Bridge in downtown Minneapolis.
It's safe in my area, but rioters are a few miles away. My opinion is that everyone needs a gun to shoot the rioters
the second they break in. Depends. It depends. But I believe people have a right to defend
themselves. So the first and foremost, I think we have to say we really don't want it to come to
that 100 percent. But I understand why people would be scared and want to defend themselves,
especially if people are starting fires and burning these buildings down.
Because if somebody breaks into your building, you don't know what they're going to be doing.
And if they burn the building down, a lot of people can die.
So I hate to see it.
I would only ask for de-escalation.
That's the best way I can put it.
But I wouldn't fault someone for defending themselves.
Wolfsbane says, hey, Tim, Lydia, and Soy Jesus.
Tim, I wanted you to know that the first two videos today weren't uh weren't showing up today had to go to your channels to find them i mean that's a
that's an improvement from from last week when they just didn't put it on my channel at all and
no one could find it even if they tried it had so many people talk telling us that joseph sorry
says saw a video of a handicapped woman in her electric wheelchair at the target getting attacked
by looters punching throwing objects sprayed with fire extinguisher.
Looters have no shame.
She was holding a knife, and they were claiming she was stabbing people.
All you can really say is these are people in a fight.
The woman in the wheelchair was trying to block the door, I guess.
I don't want to assume, but she was holding a knife. They grabbed her wrist and then pulled it out of her hand
and then started throwing things at her.
They sprayed her.
David, Tim moved to Syracuse.
Sedeno, great name, by the way. That's commitment.
Are you just going to sell decks or full
nine with grip tape, trucks, wheels, and bearings?
Just deck, let me build from there. I got my
likes. So it's probably going to be
through the store as it appears
already under the YouTube channel. I'm sure
it's just going to be a deck. It will just be a deck. You'll get
your own grip and everything. But
it depends. If they can properly source good boards, otherwise I'm not going to put my name literally on a bad board.
Yeah, we're going to test them.
If I skate it, if I like it, I'll sell it.
And if they can't, then we'll end up selling them physically through our own storefront of some sort
where we get our own pro models and good shapes and everything.
I think they'll be able to source proper boards.
I really do. We'll see. everything. I think they'll be able to source proper boards. I really do.
We'll see.
Yeah, I think it'll be good.
I also want to make sure they're American-made for sure.
Luke Walter says,
Would you consider an IPO if your new venture takes off?
I don't know enough to say anything about that, yes.
I'd imagine if in 20 years I have a company
that's like a big successful media company, then definitely.
But even Vice hasn't done an IPO so
Oscar Corneo says
thanks for keeping me sane during the lockdown love
that song remember when from the
first jam session any chance you
can upload that to iTunes also what's the
style of music called what Tim was singing
that's the song how would you describe
your music I don't know
pop rock indie
indie pop it's all different yeah some
songs are folk acoustic some songs are acoustic rock some are punk i have no idea yeah you got
a good sound though i don't know man um well feel free to download the video the song somehow
and keep it we're working on recording now actually we have some paperwork from one of the songs I ran.
It's sitting right next to me.
And actually, I just spent the last hour
going over a bunch of songs we're playing on recording,
which at some point will come out.
I got some really good songs, man.
It's not the songs.
It's the full product.
So the first, I've got some songs
that accompany a visual that tells a story.
And this will be really, really,
I'm really excited for these things to come out. Outlaw Bear says, I super chatted Voldemort's name to channels
I don't know this week. Sometimes with no context, nothing happened. I believe this is a case of bad
police training, not racism. Many always in the news. Yeah. It's, you can't have cops who are
trained poorly. You can't enforce an institution to not care about someone's life and have this happen.
The Batman says, I live near Minneapolis.
More people coming in will only make this worse.
Rioting doesn't solve any issues.
It only hurts people.
Dan Bordeaux says, Twitter idiots are saying Minnesota is like the Boston Tea Party.
The Sons of Liberty targeted just the tea from the government-backed EITC.
The only damage, a padlock owned by a ship's captain,
was replaced the next morning.
There is so much about this where I'm like,
they're trying to conflate these things.
It's like, you know, I'm sorry, man.
Dan, you nailed it on exactly what this is.
A targeted organization that, yes, wore masks and damaged just the tea to make a point about the tea.
And there's still questions you can raise about, you know, the justification of doing that.
I'm totally cool with that.
But come on, man.
You can't compare someone burning down low-income housing to the Boston Tea Party.
That's just ridiculous.
Yeah, Dan messaged me.
He was talking about the Boston Tea Party.
Yeah.
I never used to do anything with it. Yep. Abigail, thanks for the
super chat. Darian Collins says, the people that started fires and destruction are being paid by
George Soros. They are Antifa. This party is older than World War II, same flag. I don't know about
the George Soros payment thing, but many of them are Antifa for sure. Oh, actually, I can actually
comment on the George Soros thing. So I can tell you one instance.
There were people who were down at Occupy Wall Street who were telling everyone jokingly how
they were paid by Soros. But the reality was they worked for a nonprofit that received Soros funding.
So you could technically say they were paid by Soros. But then here's what I'll tell you.
Stop saying people are paid by George Soros. Just stop saying
it's not literally true. And so what happens is the left all of a sudden goes, where's my Soros
check? I wish. Meanwhile, they get a paycheck from a nonprofit that's funded by George Soros.
They're not smart enough to connect the dots. So the appropriate thing to say is Soros is funding
nonprofits that has activists at these rallies and events.
Sometimes.
And I've had high profile activists tell me straight up they receive funding directly from him and for their organizations, like the people who run them.
It might be good to look up a list of organizations he funds.
It's a ridiculous number.
Yeah.
Ridiculous number.
Alex Oakley says, I usually work third shift and I don't get to watch you guys live a lot,
but this is the second time this week I get to watch live.
Do you think the riots
might actually lead to more lockdowns?
Try to say can't trust the general public
lockdown. The funny thing is Governor
Whitmer is like locking things down more.
It's like, you know, man,
how many articles did we get where they were like
these conservatives aren't respecting social
distancing and now there's riots going
on and like peep. It's like not a thing anymore.
Crickets. Yep. No one's complaining about social distancing. And now there's riots going on and like, peep. It's like not a thing anymore. Yeah. Crickets.
Yep.
No one's complaining about social distancing.
Max Reed says,
skipping Crowder livestream
to watch my favorite trio.
If you like Stephen King's
The Stand,
you might like Swan Song
by Robert McKemmon even more.
I don't like competing
with Crowder.
I like Crowder.
But thank you for being here.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
Caboose, aka Kyle,
don't make me get you on a roof like an like a L.A.
Korean.
Oh, yeah.
That's that's that's that's that's a very difficult, difficult story.
Like, how do you explain this in today's context?
You know about the roof Koreans?
People in Koreatown were having their businesses destroyed.
They went up on the roofs with guns.
It was it was like killer be killed.
They were getting shot at.
So they were shooting back. And what? Like, I couldn't even imagine ribs with guns. It was like, kill or be killed. They were getting shot at, so they were shooting back.
I couldn't even imagine that happening today.
Yeah, man.
Ascendant Media says,
Lockdowns were always going to result in large-scale riots.
It just takes a catalyst.
John McAfee had a tweet.
He deleted it because he got the governor wrong,
but he said, this is what happens when you get everyone,
you know, what do you say,
when you build up tensions by locking everyone down
and then set it off with one event.
Yep.
And here we are.
He's right.
Early fireworks.
Skeptical Strom,
thanks for the super chat.
AmmonSoul says,
I used to work in law enforcement.
People often act sick or injured
to get the cops to lower their guard
so they can come up swinging.
This is wrong.
Yeah, they do.
I agree.
So I would argue
that if you have five cops
and one guy on the ground and they're saying they can't breathe, then you need to get
your cops over there to help you. It's tough, man. You're surrounded by people. They're all yelling
at you. But I don't know, man. You can't. It's better that
it's better the man escape than die.
Yeah. Sorry. I understand there's probably a
nuance in that. Like if you caught this guy covered in blood and like there's there's there's probably a nuance in that like if you caught this
guy covered in blood and like there's dead people all around maybe not yeah you know what i mean
in this instance the guy was forging and like let let the guy escape other than letting him die man
well we don't even know what he was doing right the story now is that it was over a $20 bill that
was counterfeit right and the assumption that he knew was counterfeit that we don't know
jared miller says duncan lump camera footage is still not released and that too the dude was like
in his bed then his girlfriend got shot too the duncan lump story yeah yeah cloudy commentary
says today is a big news day reality seriously shifted yet again it's like the lockdowns went
off trump's like executive order and then like all these cities shifted yet again. It's like the lockdown just went off. Trump's like executive
order and then like all these cities are blowing
up and it's like, man,
what's going on? Trooper Bear
says, welcome to the Tim Pool
beanie experience. Oh yes,
the TPBE. We just
gotta get Lydia on a beanie. Yeah, I'll
get one. I will get one. We got the UFO
spinning. Yep, there's the UFO. Earth is
looking crisp. I like it.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, it is.
Anthony Mendoza says,
how much do I need to donate to see you without a beanie, Tim?
I think we agreed on $500,000.
$500,000.
$500,000.
The Rising Refugee says,
the man shouldn't have died
and those cops should be arrested.
But is the media going to complain about them
not social distancing?
Good point.
Yeah, we just talked about that, right?
Skeptical Strom says,
Tim, would you do a story
on the dancing Israelis? You might find it significant. Dancing Israelis? I don't know anything about it. Yeah, I just talked about that, right? Skeptical Strom says, Tim, would you do a story on the dancing Israelis?
You might find it significant.
Dancing Israelis?
I don't know anything about it.
Yeah, I don't know anything about it.
Grant Thompson says, any word about what's going on with Brian Sims in Pennsylvania
accusing House Republicans of infecting, jeopardizing House Democrats?
What?
Infecting Democrats' health?
He live streamed and threw out a lot of accusations.
That dude's nuts.
I don't know anything about that.
Wasn't he the one who yelled at kids?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He went up to some little kids and started yelling at them and then had to apologize for it.
He cusses a lot.
Why?
Because they were pro-life.
Why are you yelling at kids?
They were holding a pro-life sign.
So he started filming and yelling.
It was like 14-year-old girls.
It's weird.
Yeah, that's going to help.
That's going to help, buddy.
He's a Pennsylvania state legislator of some sort.
Oh, yeah.
Lawmaker. Nice. So wait, wait. He's a Pennsylvania state legislator of some sort. Oh, yeah. Lawmaker.
Nice.
So wait, wait.
A news report just came in.
Something about...
Oh, someone burned a whole city in Norfolk.
All right.
Let's see where we're at.
Mike Mamberg says, Sarah Silverman's tweet was actually a good Second Amendment argument.
Yeah.
So Sarah Silverman basically said, look at all these white protesters with guns and nothing
happens.
And then these Black Lives Matter protesters come out and they get attacked.
And everyone's like,
that's a great point. Maybe they should
have been armed and organized.
That's, yeah.
Oh man, I got allergies. It's getting really bad.
Odium says, many in Antifa
are professional rioters.
They will travel to other cities just to throw rocks
and set fire to stuff. They don't care about the cause.
Do you think that's what it was?
Some of them, yes.
But there are what we call the tourists.
During Occupy Wall Street,
me and several other journalists,
or I should say several other journalists
coined this term that I later started using
called the tourists.
High-profile activists who fly around the world
engaging in and organizing protests.
Some of them would go to China, Europe,
and they would lead protests.
Wow.
Yep.
Yeah, they call them the tourists.
They show up to other countries.
It's like, do you even know why you're protesting in China?
No, but I see the next super chat, though.
Spin the UFO, says...
I can't read that.
Red Pill Renegade says, but the Michigan protests were a risk to health.
Oh, yeah.
And these ones aren't.
Kuya Chris says, hit F for friends.
Aw.
King Canuck says, not low-income housing.
It was higher-end stuff.
Adam, check your Twitter.
I sent you the info.
Cool.
It was reported by
the Michigan Star Tribune
that affordable housing
that was being built was torched.
Make station wagons great again.
People who grow up on jackass
catching feelings about
spraying somebody with a fire extinguisher.
Come on.
Man, I got bad allergies
getting to me.
Jessica Cora.
They had all these local business owners
who had their restaurants and stores burned down and they're all black why burn down your
own neighborhood the people aren't from that neighborhood the tourists well no it's like in
this instance well it could be the tourists was a group of like 40 people who you'd be like why
did i see you in a photograph in japan oh okay weird. Okay, I see, yeah. And they were high profile, well-funded, and it was weird.
I'll say well-funded with air quotes.
But these people are like, they live 30 miles south of Minneapolis, and they're like, quick,
quick, quick, we got to go up, we got to go up.
Yeah.
DG says, remember when people were mad about conservatives protesting during Corona because
it would help spread?
I love Lydia, so beautiful, marry me.
Well, there you go. That's sweet. sweet oscar corneo says shout out to beanie jesus and beanie pim tool lydia needs to assimilate and wear a beanie too much love y'all appreciate it i will
tiy991 says enough is enough george floyd brianna taylor duncan lemp all in the last month i'm not
going to read the rest of this one because I can't. Yeah.
Weebluk says, yo, Tim, I think Dave Chappelle is right.
We should all register legally for 2A.
That way the laws will change.
Yeah, Dave Chappelle had a really good take on it.
Second Amendment is there to protect the first.
I think most people are familiar with the argument.
Or it's just there in case the first one doesn't work out.
Yep.
Joseph Taylor says, I had to get fingerprinted for a background check to study internationally. Everyone in the room automatically assumed guilt, and I was a criminal.
Wow.
Jeez.
Anti-NWO Canada says, hi, the word is co-intel pro.
That is one of it, but...
Spook is another word for it.
The word on top of my tongue.
It's because I haven't used it in so long.
Yes.
Is that what you're talking about?
Maybe.
Are you trying to find that word still?
I'll try and find it
I don't remember it
it's super late tonight
yeah
Stacy Bookworm says
my brother died in the same way
hog tied with five cops on his back
tased multiple times
the story hits home
dude
sorry to hear
no good
it's terrible
Dee Stoltenberg says
bring the war to the rich graffiti
found a few miles from the protest
in an upper
upper middle class neighborhood
other graffiti spotted
included anti-capitalist sentiment i hate these people they exploit the
the the poverty they exploit the anger because they want socialism and communism it has nothing
to do with them caring about justice it's about them saying oh now's our chance to make it all
crumble and make it all worse for everybody yeah these people are opportunists man i hate them
anthony zavaro says, the only stores
that weren't pillaged were armed.
I'd agree. That sounds about right.
Biker Bob says, provocateurs is the
word. Yes, agent provocateur.
There it is. Agent provocateur.
And I look at chat and
everyone's saying it. Agent provocateur.
Rock on chat. Nailed it. Thank you guys.
Agent prop. Andrew
Holker says, the AutoZone fire was the first one, and it was started by a white
guy in all black and a gas mask.
Protesters filmed him and told him not to do it.
The dude silently lit the place up and dipped.
Probably just an arsonist, man.
I did see that video, yeah.
Yeah.
But he said, the only thing I saw him say is, come at me again and I'll fight you.
And then he just dipped out.
Did you see the guy with the chainsaw? I didn't see the chainsaw
video. You told me about it though.
Weird man.
Weird. What are you going to do with that?
Static X says, dude, proof of the agitator
is this link. My neighborhood is pretty much
wrecked, bro. We just don't know if he is Antifa
or a cop for whatever reason.
I'll dig into it.
Alexander Olsen says,
I'm in Minneapolis,
one man demonstrating with signs,
six miles from riots,
good cops stop bad cops,
police reform,
rioting hurts everyone,
looting exploits tragedy,
38th and Chicago Ave,
S was my childhood.
Dan Zoom says,
if you're going to burn down Wendy's,
it better at least be one of the locations
that is out of beef.
Right.
But why burn down Wendy's?
I don't understand.
McDonald's got burned down, too, apparently.
Yeah.
Or sat up on fire.
I don't get it.
What the heck?
Tony L says, don't know whether to watch you or Crowder.
Why not both?
Well, I'm glad he's here at the same time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
Crowder in the left ear.
Tim Castellar on the right ear.
That's some big brain stuff.
Yeah.
You could focus in.
Oh, gosh.
That's so hard. Well, to be focus in like, oh, oh, oh. That's so hard.
Well, to be honest,
we do the show Monday through Friday. I think
Creditor does like one night a week live.
That's why I'm like, oh, you know,
I like Creditor. I don't like hearing that people would
ditch a show. But I mean,
I want my show to work, so.
GMU says, Tim, these were park
police, so even worse.
If you ever run into park police,
they are poorly trained and on a major power trip. I don't see them as real.
Interesting.
Connor says, looking into starting a YouTube channel, any specific mics or cameras you
might recommend for one on a budget of about $1,000 to start? I don't know, to be honest.
I would recommend, depending on what you want to do for the channel,
a phone really does work really, really well.
Dude, the Galaxy S10 and the new Note.
Is that what you filmed me with outside?
That was the Note.
That was nice.
Amazing.
Yeah.
Really good.
It's got a wide-angle lens on it.
I'm telling you, man, the phone cameras are getting ridiculous.
Yeah, they are.
So I started with a very, very, you know, like I said, GoPro 4, really bad, and I slowly just
started picking stuff up. But I'll tell you this,
I do have one recommendation. The Sony RX
106
or whatever is out so far. Is that this thing?
Yeah, here, let me see. I don't know which one
this is. This is the, oh, the
7. Oh, this is good.
This right here is the
Sony RX, what is it, 107 4k cyber shot this is what
i this is the first so i actually was using i think the four or whatever oh wow after the gopro
i upgraded to this because the audio is incredible and the video is incredible and it can do a
thousand frames per second and it costs like you can get it used when i think for like 900 bucks
and actually this is the camera he's letting me use for my gaming stream that I'm working on starting.
I have a poll right now on what game to start.
Yes.
And I think Dark Souls is winning.
Yes.
Between Dark Souls and Final Fantasy VII and Doom Eternal.
Close race.
I'm excited.
I'm excited.
Yeah.
Caitlin says, Mepstein didn't skill himself.
I think I can still get in trouble
for saying it that way.
Sneaky.
Right, right, right.
Not quite sneaky enough.
FakeName says,
shame about the big news day.
My super chats about yesterday's stream.
Apparently, NASA has plans for Venus colonies.
Mars' low gravity is bad for bones.
Venus' surface is too hot,
but floating cities and clouds
are perfect gravity.
I'm gonna look in there. I haven't perfect gravity. I'm going to look into that.
I haven't heard that.
I'm very on top of science stuff.
Yeah, the gaseous density at the lower levels you could actually float on top of.
Wow.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's interesting.
I want to check that out.
Tim Clark says, how does your police system work?
It seems that each town has different police that are trained and equipped different.
Is this a problem in the system?
I would say yes, it is.
Yeah. But that's right. That's I would say yes, it is. Yeah.
But that's right.
That's how it works.
America's huge.
Yeah.
America's not a tiny little spot.
Yeah.
You know.
America, I think, has more square footage than all of Europe.
I think so, yeah.
That sounds right.
Square mileage.
Square kilometerage?
Kilometerage.
Meterage?
Meterage, yeah. David Campbell says,
Minnesota prosecutor works close to the police, right?
So it would only seem to make sense there is bias. This needs to be unbiased as possible for trial.
That's why they have outside prosecutors come in.
Maybe they'll do that here.
That's why the FBA is investigating.
Troy says, take a look at Officer 401.
Has a good take on it.
Tiller 4534 says,
every cop who walks the street should be at least a BJJ blue belt.
Resilient jujitsu.
It solves every problem like this safely and effectively.
But they don't want to spend money on this training.
And a lot of cops are just out of shape.
Out of shape dudes.
Dudes sitting in the office all day.
Say when says police killed him.
Not stores.
Not businesses.
Not regular people.
Yup.
Yup.
Simon Anthony.
Thanks for the super chat.
Caitlin says, cop on neck had different badge than the others.
Interesting.
Steven A says, I'm about as pro-police a man that you can find.
I always give them the benefit of the doubt.
But if these cops get away scot-free from this killing,
enraged won't be enough to describe my feelings.
Yeah, I think the funny thing is like,
you've got the right saying unjust
killing and constitutional rights violation,
civil rights violation, freedom, liberty,
and the left saying Black Lives Matter. And I'm like,
how about we all hold hands on this one and
rock back and forth singing because
let's get this one
solved and done.
Let's see. Where are we at?
Sean Ryan says, the more I watch,
the more I like you guys and Lydia.
Appreciate it.
Thanks.
Thanks for the super chat.
I've worked with the RCMP
and other police
to subdue people.
Physical chemical restraints
and proper training
lets you subdue someone easily.
We never kneel
on someone's neck.
This is simply appalling.
Oh, yeah.
Yep.
The Seraphim says,
hey, Tim, at all,
you're a light in the dark.
We could use you in the UK.
Slippery slope over here.
I don't envy you guys watching Dankula get arrested for a joke.
That's scary, man.
I was scared.
I'm scared of the UK.
Bane Trump says, the cops will all get rehired with back pay 18 months from now after heat
dies down.
Standard police union SOP.
Unfortunately, the Grizzly says, wow, this rotation of magic's
horribly OP. I'm going to switch to
Warhammer for a bit. Not a card game.
It's like a tabletop real-time strategy with models.
Any other card games you guys play?
Nope. Nope. We are
slowly trying to figure out a cancel
culture card game with funny cards.
It is not easy, to say the least.
You need a big group of people
who know how to design a game. You can't just have a couple people trying to figure it out. At least to say the least. You need a big group of people who know how to design a game.
You can't just have a couple people trying to figure it out.
Yeah.
Well, at least we're all gamers.
We have that going for us.
Larry Goddard says,
Society not breaking laws equals police not killing.
Gold818 says,
Hey Tim, what do you think about President Trump's executive order
on preventing online censorship?
If you go to Timcast.net,
that is my main channel.
There is a video I did on it today,
and I break it down. I think it has the best. A lot of things can happen, but it may actually
solve the problem by basically saying to these social media companies, you are going to lose
liability protections unless you stop banning this kind of speech. It's actually really clever. The argument is that
their protections require them to deem content objectionable, lewd, lascivious, extremely violent.
And what Trump said is the FCC needs to clarify what these words mean. That way, if you tweet
hashtag learn to code, and then Twitter says that's objectionable or harassment, the FCC will
say, no, it isn't. You've just violated, you know, you're violating your
protections under 230. If you do it again, you will be open to lawsuits. So Twitter will be like,
okay, okay, okay, we won't do it. We won't do it. So Twitter can still ban things that are really,
really offensive and really awful, but they have to be under those specific words, lewd,
lascivious, objectionable. They can argue what objectionable means,
but Learn to Code doesn't fall into that, unfortunately.
So it would protect a lot of these conservatives
who are getting banned.
Corneliu
turns out we were
judging them by the content of their character the whole time.
How dare we?
The police? Or wait, what does that mean?
Marlon Cebo
says, F's in the chat for noodles and company.
Noodles.
Oh, it was referring to one of the stores.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Big Josh says, you know what wasn't stolen from Target?
Work boots.
I actually think they were, though, to be honest.
Like they took everything.
Everything was gone.
It seemed like it.
Yeah, everything.
The one thing they didn't take was like the candy bars and the chips.
Those were just thrown on the floor.
Yeah.
That's weird.
The Lopardi says, the longest video I found of Floyd
showed that he had a knee on his neck
for seven minutes, 53 seconds.
This is not manslaughter.
This is second degree murder.
Wow.
Bold statement.
Probably.
Yeah, probably.
Joseph Gilmore says,
I live about a half mile
from where the riots happened in Minneapolis.
Did you know they burned down an apartment complex
that was being built for low-income residents?
Insanity.
I don't get that.
I saw that reporting from the Star Tribune.
Charles Scudder says, guess I'm lucky I'm immune to tear gas.
Found that out in the USAF.
You know, in the U.S., tear gas, it's annoying.
It's like, oh, it's tear gas.
Ooh, my eyes.
Brazil?
Whoa.
In Brazil, whatever they were using was like... Seriously, huh?
I couldn't see.
I had snot just pouring out of my mouth
and my nose. I was like...
I'm sure they have it here. They use heavy-duty stuff. I'm sure they've got that
here. They just use the lighter stuff here in the US.
Brazil was heavy-duty.
Simon says, keep up the good work,
Tim and crew, we will. Titan
says, I don't know if
MPD's policy and procedures, I don't know if uh if MPD's policy and procedures I don't know of
them but I worked at as a correctional officer in West Virginia for over 12 years and I've never
been trained to use my knee on someone's neck as a way of restraining them so that I so uh I've
been hearing it all day and if that's the case man then what is this what's this guy's excuse
going to be exactly is this not his response like him being culpable for this? Yep. Thanks for the super chat, Michael.
Cornelius says, if you ain't,
I'm not going to read that.
But he's making fun of Joe Biden.
Florbo adjacent says, why is it that these
riots never seem to happen in areas with high
gun ownership? Give the UFO a spin
for poor Noodles and Co.
Oh yeah. Noodles and Co.
No, no, you do it. I'll read it.
Noodles and Company, no. I don't like Noodles and Company. Why don't you go ahead? No, no, you do it. I'm going to read. I'll read it. Noodles and Company. No.
No.
I don't like Noodles and Company.
It's not that good.
I don't think I've ever actually had any Noodles and Company.
Nah.
They're okay.
They do noodles.
They do noodles.
Well, the UFO is spinning for you, Noodles.
Very fast.
Wow.
Wolf Spain says the pawn shop owner was charged with a murder charge on the state laws that
the owner must retreat and escape instead of defending their property.
Whoa.
Really?
That happened? Wow, man.
Really?
Wow. Don't like that.
What if the only way out was the front door?
Someone's kicking it in.
Well, you know what? I gotta say,
if he had a back door and
he chose to stay in the
building instead. And defend himself?
I think it's fair to say if you have the option to run, you should run.
So, this video popping up of the the guys standing with like i don't know it looks like they got uh
ars strapped to the front of them they're like oh we're just standing here in case something
happens to this liquor store it's like so if people were coming what would they do they'd
be charged with murder too if they were just defending the place i thought those guys were
pro protesters they they said they're they were just defending the place. I thought those guys were pro-protesters.
They said they were for the protesting, but not for the looting.
Right, right, right. They were against the looting.
And that's what they were out there for.
Yeah.
That's great.
So, I mean.
I don't know.
Slippery slope.
But I do think if these protesters came out with some, like, constitutionalist,
two activists or whatever, also also armed and they all marched and
went to like town hall and stood on the stairs they had one in two seconds like but here's the
thing the activists that are that showed up don't want justice look i understand many of them do
but the riots that ensued okay so let me let me rephrase that the activists who showed up
clearly want justice but many people showed up alongside them
who wanted destruction, chaos, and looting.
Yeah.
That's the problem.
If they all marched to the state capitol building,
they would have won.
But they're burning down AutoZone?
I don't agree.
This guy should get a murder charge.
What guy?
I mean, he did kill somebody.
If anything, it's manslaughter.
He did kill somebody that was coming at him.
It was a riot.
It wasn't a normal circumstance.
You're right.
Yeah, that's true.
Because what if he's thinking, if I go out the back door, someone will jump me?
I have no choice.
And all of my store is going to be gone.
Forget the store.
True.
The argument for the store thing makes sense.
If you're in your store and there's a back door and someone's breaking the door in, run.
In a riot, though, you're like, what if i open the back door and his buddies are waiting
for me yeah that's a good point so you're like i better stay in here because the right's dangerous
defend my position not only that if you leave your building and go into a riot you can get killed
that's true so he had no choice someone's breaking in that's that's a bs charge man that's bs i'm
inclined to agree grappler says hey guys thanks for keeping an eye on what's going on out there
things are spreading across the metro at the moment.
It's going to be a long night.
I know, and I'm going to be sitting up on Twitter just looking at videos all night.
PDTell says, that was fake news for sure.
Ah, so this is when they were all telling you the picture was fake.
Yeah, yeah.
So thanks to everybody for pointing that out.
Let's see.
Michelle Mybell says, did Twitter fact check and mark the story?
What do you mean mark the story?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Anton says,
from Russia with love,
please keep remind me daily
the American people are actually sane.
We are.
There's a lot of sane and a lot of insane.
Yeah, there's a lot of us.
Peter Mormon says,
I understand the frustration with writers,
but it's important to keep in mind
the DNC goes through great pains
to compromise so-called activists
and turn them into puppets of division.
Well, that's one of the biggest problems.
Yeah, we should hurry up though.
Yeah, so okay, yeah.
We got two more segments to do.
Yeah, all right.
So we're gonna have to start speeding things up.
So my apologies to you
if we don't get to your super chat
because we're about to deal
with a really big jump right here.
So let's try and...
YouTube delays loading.
Uh-oh. Oh, man. We got way too many.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If we want to hit another subject,
which I would love to talk about Superman again.
Yeah, we got to talk about Superman, everybody.
I'm going to start speeding things up, so I apologize
if we can't get to your super chat.
There's just too many, unfortunately.

Figured out.
I dig that.
Redwall says, if Trump came out and defended these protests, they would end immediately.
That's how tribal and deluded these people are.
Trump should.
He did already defend like he called for an investigation.
That's true.
Atler the Dark says I can't wait for Wikipedia to accept chatroom consensus as a source.
Oh, yeah.
Lee Rogge, thanks for the super chat.
Sam Jague says projection and polarization are the catalyst to the mess we see all around us.
Misinformation is fuel, the kindling projection, and the fire polarization.
Let's see. Thanks for the super chat, Big Sexy. Mike Seymour, thanks for the super chat. Student
of History says the state doesn't want unity amongst the lower working class. That would be
a severe threat to the power of the government. Insert black and white arm meme from Alien here.

but my gas was pretty bad.
Javi J says, I'm
in Ice Cube's defense. All white people
do look alike.
Ettingill says on Twitter,
what does it say? Oh, okay.
I don't know if that was a joke.
What? I'm not sure if that was a joke or not.
I'm pretty sure it's a joke. Oh, okay, good.
Maybe it's not, whatever. It doesn't matter.
Let's see. Alan Hoagland on Twitter
has a clarification about the county attorney's statement.
He didn't mean to imply that there would be no prosecution.
Okay.
Maybe he was just saying he's seen some evidence that would imply maybe not, but they don't
know for sure yet.
They look at the evidence.
Psych Ghost says, terrible thing.
What happened to George?
Almost exact same thing happened to white guy in Dallas search, Tony Timpa.
This was about police misconduct, not race.
And there was also Kelly Thomas.
We talked about him the other day. Yeah. Pseudosign says hard to accept when real issues
get overshadowed. Remember when Northam talked about post-birth abortion? I do remember. Now
we've real cases of power mad police and the media claimed he never said it never happened.
I got really mad when Jack Dorsey tweeted that thing where he's like,
oh, we're fact checking Trump, blah, blah, blah.
What do you mean fact checking Trump?
He's like, we want to show, Jack Dorsey tweeted, we want to show that there's dispute in this
information.
I'm like, Jack, did you Google search it?
Because in Patterson, New Jersey, the NAACP, one of their leaders is saying, shut it down
because 3,000 mail-in ballots had mixed signatures that didn't make sense.
Like they didn't match.
And then some of those people actually did vote. They saying why was my vote canceled and now they're like
shut it down that's not conservatives calling for that's the naacp yeah well i guess jack doesn't
have google he's gonna believe whatever cnn tells him it's so weird that he wouldn't have google

officer interesting i can't search that but you know people check it people check it out. Vasht says, happy.
I'm not going to read it because I don't know what it is, unfortunately, but I appreciate the super chat.
No Black Thunder says, the worst thing about the riots is that people claim it's because of racism when there are no signs of this and abuse it for their own gain where they plunder TV and stuff and poop on the man that died by doing that.
Yeah, I agree.
Shun says, soy Jesus.
It has been scientifically proven that plants
emit noise when in distress.
That being said, I need all the mushroom
jerky, please. Also, guys, check out
Anton Petrov videos for Space Stuff.
Cool. Do they really emit noise? I'll look that up.
You actually got some mushroom jerky

Oh, you ate it all.
Yeah.
Cloud G says, I want your beanie we will soon have
some op dankling says i'm not gay but i would be for henry kevel just saying oh we're gonna talk
about it we're gonna get yes we're getting there we're getting there next villa music dude says do
you think tensions will rise across the nation will it be the start of an extremist spark post
modern political laws losing more ground on 1A, 2A. I see
people losing friendships on social over opinions
on Floyd and the riots.
It's going to get worse, I'll tell you what, because I
have friends who have gone insane.
Brandon says, George Floyd did five years in
prison for armed robbery, along with other
crime history, not a saint like portrayed.
And I think, I'll tell you what, man,
some people go through rough
patches in life and do bad things, and they come out and they deserve redemption. And so, while I think, I'll tell you what, man, some people go through rough patches in life and do bad things, and they come out, and they deserve redemption.
And so while I agree, there was probably something that would pop up.
That statement he made about, you know, it's going to be you and God, and you're going to go up or you're going to go down, trying to get kids to drop that stuff.
I mean, that shows that maybe he was rehabilitated.
We have to remember and give humans in general the ability to learn
and accept that people can be wrong and you know sure that that might be the case i i don't know
about his life and what he he went through but i mean i i saw we what we went you know we read
about him and what he was saying there's a video of him talking to to the youth that he was clearly
a part of when he was younger.
Especially if, yeah, sure.
Okay.
So he had a record.
That actually makes sense.
So he's been through it.
And it actually makes him sound better.
Yeah.
So he's like, all right, now I'm going to talk to these kids because I know that I've been there.
I've been there.
Like, let's.
Makes me angrier.
Yeah.
So you mean to tell me that he went through the system.
It worked.
This guy turned his life around and then said, don't be like this.
You're not tough.
And this happened to him?
Really? And then this happens to him.
Oh, man.
That discredits that message he was trying to tell people that, you know what I mean?
So I don't think he's a saint, man.
But I still respect that message he was trying to give.
Hopefully the context was correct.
Because for all you know, another part of it comes out where he's like, I'm just kidding.
You know, you don't know what's in the video.
Right.
So we want to believe the best things about this guy.
But I'm always very cautious.
All right, let's see.
Where are we at?
G Virus says, have you heard about the post made by Greg Anderson,
the Seattle cop, telling other cops to stop their tyrannical ways
or soon face the people's wrath and getting fired for posting it?
Yes, he was right.
Octorian says, get Soy Jesus on a t-shirt.
Pose like Jesus and have the quote,
and lo, did they call me out, and together we learned.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
I like that.
Can you write that down, Lydia?
Yeah.
Oh, that's funny.
And lo, did they call me out, and together we learned.
That's actually really cool.
I love it.
I appreciate that.
I am that.
That's exactly it.
Like, I can be wrong.
I have been wrong on this show. And I'm okay with that. I'm okay with being wrong.
I don't mind. But I think what makes that statement good is not about you. It's about
everyone should have that. I got called out. I was wrong.
There's a balance in being a whiny baby who's going to apologize for things you didn't do wrong
and accepting that you were factually incorrect in certain things. So I like it.
I like it a lot. Yeah. Thanks for that.
Villa Music Dude says, Tim,
being that there is an extremist climate growing,
what will our saving grace for our country
what will be our saving
grace for our country's values? I'm afraid of
a looming threat of us slowly moving to
totalitarianism in the next decade.
The Constitution, because
even if they trample all over it,
if everything fell apart, there are going to be people who keep it and stay true, you know?
The True Nemesis says, you guys heard about the Westgate shooting in AZ?

to a post equating not wearing masks not wearing helmets or seat belts what's your view on this
not wearing masks equally to not wearing seatbelts or a helmet.
But what does that mean, though?
Not wearing a mask is to stop you from spitting on other people
and spreading the virus.
Not wearing a seatbelt, only you die.
I think people should wear masks,
but I also think we got a bunch of Karens.
Like, bro, if I see you not wearing a mask,
I just walk the other way.
Like, I'm in a supermarket.
I'm like, oh, he's got no mask on.
I'm just going to go around. Yeah, I don't want to be near that person. I'm not going to cry about it. If see you not wearing a mask, I just walk the other way. Like, I'm in a supermarket. I'm like, I just got no mask on. I'm just going to go around.
Yeah, I don't want to be near that person.
I'm not going to cry about it.
If you're going in a supermarket, you're touching all the stuff all over the place.
I don't care if your mask's on or not.
I'm going to bring, I'm going to go to the front.
I'm going to get the wipes.
I'm going to wipe down my cart.
And I'm going to go on my, if I see you no mask, I'll just be like, I go this way.
Yeah.
I don't care.
Simple.
Easy.
These people are so, it's about power.
They want to tell you,
you're wrong.
Where's your mask?
Oh, there's someone I can enforce.
Yes.
If you're scared, stay home.
Yeah, basically.
Everett Beatty says,
too many laws,
hence too many police,
hence too many instances,

I mean, we're growing.
It's a population.
Gorilla Gaming says,
apparently the person
who started the vandalism

GroundSquirrel says, did you guys
discuss the Amy Klobuchar thing the
Gravel Institute found? She declined to charge
this officer in a previous incident where
he killed or shot someone. Whoa.
Same one? Because she was a prosecutor
or what? Oh, no.
She just lost that VP slot.
Wow. Oh, yeah. And she knows
it. Oh, my gosh.
This is ridiculous.
Let's see.
Nathaniel says, Fires of Norfolk, the rebels burned a whole city.
Grant says, Amy Klobuchar didn't prosecute officer at center of George Floyd's death after previous conduct complaints.
I'm going to hold her responsible for that.
Because our justice system is supposed to stop this.
That's the point.
Yep.
You have a prosecutor who says, this guy's clearly done something wrong.
I will stop them so they don't end someone's life.
Yep.
So she bears some of that responsibility.
Oh, yeah.
If it's true.
Well, Grant put a link.
I can't click on it.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm looking at it.
It's true?
Right now.
Yep.
Daily Wire.
Wow, dude.

Then I know I have passed into the Twilight Zone.

Jordan Thomas says, you're right about the people looting not being from the community.
As a former Ferguson resident, most looters are from the community, aren't from the community,
sometimes not even the state.
Yep.

and they were like dude these people aren't they don't live here man like we go to the store we

I mean, we were there.
We were in Baltimore.
And like what I mean, what we've seen, it's like they torched tons of buildings.

I'm excited about this.
Henry Cavill in Talks to Return
as Superman in upcoming
DC movie.
He did an awesome job as Superman.
I gotta say. I really liked him as Superman.
He's my favorite Superman.
Really? Of all the Superman?
There's not that much to pick from. He does a great job. He does. He's my favorite Superman. Really? Of all the Supermans? There's not that much to pick from.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
So he does a great job.
He does.
He makes an awesome Superman.
And I actually liked Ben Affleck as Batman.
I'm excited.
I did.
Okay.
I absolutely did.
I got to give it to him.
It wasn't bad.
It wasn't bad.
And I went into it thinking it was going to be bad.
And then I was like, oh, all right.
I liked it.
It wasn't bad.
I don't think he's the best Batman.
No.
Who's the best Batman? Oh, that's tough. bad. I don't think he's the best Batman. No. Who's the best Batman?
Oh, that's tough.
I think Christian Bale killed it, dude.
I want to lean on that one for sure.
Because the difficult thing is, I think Val Kilmer.
Yeah, he was okay.
That was good.
Michael Keaton was good.
Michael Keaton was good.
But the reason I want to say Christian Bale is just because I really like that trilogy. Yeah, he was okay. That was good. Michael Keaton was good. Michael Keaton was good. Was good, yeah.
But the reason I want to say Christian Bale is just because I really liked that trilogy.
And The Dark Knight is one of the best.
Yeah, it was a different time, too.
It was in the era of really good cinematic movies.
I'll tell you this. Not George Clooney.
Oh, I forgot he was Batman.
Oh, man.
Yeah, forgettable.
Yeah, that was not on my list.
Nope.
Didn't even make it.
Yeah, not George Clooney. You know, yeah, forgettable. Yeah, that was not on my list. Nope, didn't even make it. You know, those movies were fun.
I think it's Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, and Val Kilmer,
and then, I guess, I don't know, I'd put Ben Affleck up there. Actually, you know what, yeah, Ben Affleck
and Michael Keaton, I'm going to put Michael Keaton right on second.
Yeah, he didn't move his neck though, you know what I mean? He's like...
Well, that was the suit. I know.
You know, he had no choice.
Right.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, I like Ben Affleck.
And I wonder if he'll come back. That'd be cool.
I'd really love to see Shazam, Superman.
Yes.
Shazam was great.
Shazam was awesome.
They're working on Shazam 2.
Yep.
I'm excited.
It was a great movie.
I love that movie.
That was a great movie.
It was DC's, like, turnaround.
Yeah, actually, that might be my favorite DC movie.
You know what?
They've been trying to be so dark.
Well, Joker actually is DC, right?
But it's not the DCEU.
Okay, okay.
So Joker, dude.
The Joker.
Oh, the Joker is incredible.
Or just Joker.
Is that what it is?
Just simply Joker?
Amazing movie.
The ending scene, the last joke is just so amazing.
And there's a meme.
So I'm going to spoil this now because I'm assuming everyone's already seen it.
Fair warning.
I haven't seen it.
But he's ruining it for you.
There's a little meme comic where Joker is sitting in a chair and they're like they're
drawn as like he's like portly and like, you know, cute looking and he's angry and he says,
what do you get when you cross, you know, a mentally mentally ill man with a society
that, you know, ignores him or whatever?
And then the TV show host smiles and says, in Canada, you get health care and we take care of you.
And then they're both smiling and it says the end.
That's spoiled.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Before we move on, I got to give it up to chat again.

Adam West. So many memorable moments.
Okay, now we can move on.
All right, all right.
Henry Cavill is back.
Yes.
Henry Cavill.
Here's the article.
In talks to return as Superman in an upcoming DC movie, that would be awesome.
I liked Man of Steel.
Yeah.
It was really good.
Really good.
I really liked Chris Maloney in it.
Is that the bad guy?
No, no, no.
Which one's he in?
He was the military officer.
He was the guy who was in Law and Order SVU.
I can't think of who that is. One of my favorite scenes in that movie.
Law and Order SVU, man. Stabler. I don't watch SVU.
In Man of Steel, he plays the main military dude. Okay. I bet I'll see his
face and be like, ah, of course. What's his name again? Christopher Maloney.
Yeah, Christopher Maloney. There's a scene in Man of Steel that
is awesome.
So what's the name of that evil woman, the evil Kryptonian woman?
I forgot her name.
It's been so long.
Oh, this guy's awesome.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he's great.
So there's a scene where, like, his helicopter goes down,
and then the Kryptonian woman in armor is standing there,
and he's, like, sweating and holding the knife.
Like, there's nothing else he can do.
Everyone around him just died, got whooped.
And he flinches
that was awesome scene
it's like you're just a dude that's a Kryptonian you're gonna die
but he's like ready to go I love that scene
that was a cool scene you're right
what I really like about like the Marvel
universe is when regular people
are put in these tough situations do I like Batman
do I like Iron Man do I like
a Falcon and so when he's
just like a regular military guy with a knife up against this super-powered alien,
and he's like, I'm going for it.
I don't care.
I'm going to do it.
She's going to snap her fingers, and you're going to be dust.
But he's not going to run.
He's not going to whimper.
He's going to stand his ground.
That was an awesome scene.
Was that Ursa?
Was that her name?
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I want to watch that movie now.
Yeah, let's watch it, dude.
It was fun.
That was a good movie.
Yeah. I wish they would. I want to watch that movie now. Yeah, let's watch it, dude. That was fun. That was a good movie.
Yeah.
I wish they would have done the DC Universe proper to a Batman movie.
No, no.
You know what?
It feels like they're realizing their mistakes.
Yes.
They're looking back and going, we should have done it this way.
Actually, you know what?
Everyone wants the Snyder Cut.
Let's give it to them. Yes.
And not only that, they're going to legitimately do it correctly.
Oh, let's go to right.
Why don't you go ahead and drop it?
Are we going to read it?
All right.
So this was the tweet.
Darkseid's coming to the Snyder Cut.
Oh.
Turns out he was always there.
And they cut him out of the movie.
So there's a clip right here.
It doesn't even make sense.
Zack Snyder said he's coming to HBO Max.
Now, some people are mad.
Look at this.
He says, Darkseid doesn't use weapons.
You clearly have no clue about the character.
OK, OK.
All right.
Calm down. We don't want to get comic book use weapons. You clearly have no clue about the character. Okay, okay. All right. Calm down.
We don't want to get comic book guy from The Simpsons all on Zack Snyder.
Well, that doesn't look like an axe.
It looks more like a staff of some sort.
I don't know.
All I know is.
It might not be a weapon?
It looks like they were originally going to have Darkseid in the movie.
Remember when I was complaining?
Like, why did they do Steppenwolf? I know. You're're right i don't care about that guy this is what it needed it probably
just took too much it's like sidetrack from the the main story warner brothers interference i'll
tell you what man here's what i bet happened i bet snyder was like we're gonna do our justice
league we're gonna get dark side it's gonna be a big epic and then they they probably did it and
then some guy was like well why waste the villain? Use the other guy and then we'll do another one.
We'll make more money.
That sounds like it.
Yeah.
And he was probably like, no.
No.
And that's why Snyder cut.
And so now that still looks like they had him there the whole time.
Yeah, I agree.
I'm excited for this.
Maybe that's the backstory.
Well, let's see what's going on with this Henry Cavill thing.
Yeah, okay.
They say he isn't hanging up with Superman just yet. I'm excited for this. Maybe that's the next story. Well, let's see what's going on with this Henry Cavill thing. Yeah, okay.
They say he isn't hanging up with Superman just yet.
Sources confirmed a variety.
Man of Steel actor is in talks to return as Clark Kent in an upcoming DC Comics movie.
So it's not going to be Superman.
But it's also going to be a new movie, though, with him as Superman.
Dude, Superman versus Shazam would be awesome.
Yeah, yeah. Maybe not a versus, but the cool thing about Superman fighting Shazam is that superman is weak to magic what about so black adam that's the same uh that's the same universe
isn't it black adam is the is one of the villains for uh shazam it's like one of the main dudes
right okay yeah but he's getting his own movie though isn't he i think i think he's getting his
own movie yeah there's gonna be shazam 2 and then black adam as a movie isn't it sure i thought so
maybe maybe i'm wrong i don't know because he's the villain for shazam 2 and then Black Adam as a movie. Isn't it? Are you sure? I thought so. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. Because he's
the villain for Shazam. Yeah.
I think The Rock was supposed to play Black Adam.
He is playing him. He's confirmed.
He's perfect. Dude, he's perfect.
I'm excited for this.
Let's see. Who plays Shazam?
Zachary Levi? He's
getting his own movie. Black Adam. Really?
I'm looking at the IMD right here. IMDB.
Because his origin story was that he was given the powers a know long long time ago and then he went to his head
and he became he has the shazam power right right yeah okay different different uh shazam each letter
stands for some god or whatever oh cool his were based on like egyptian gods i think or something
like that oh dope yeah so what's this what's this movie they say uh so snyder announced the
long-remembered snyder of Justice League. That's awesome.
Insiders tell Variety Cavill wouldn't be suiting up for the director's cut,
but rather a cameo in one of DC's upcoming films,
which includes Aquaman 2, The Suicide Squad, and The Batman.
So it's just a cameo?
Aquaman 2, I'm excited for.
The Suicide Squad. There's a certain someone that I'm not interested in seeing.
Yeah.
That's true.
The lady who...
Who poops on beds?
Nope.
Nope, nope, nope.
You did it.
I wasn't going to go there.
I went there, bro.
You went there.
I dove right in.
That's fine.
You know what happens when you say it?
What?
It becomes a segment about Amber Heard pooped on a bed.
No, no.
And moving on.
Nope, nope, nope.
All right, moving on.
Let's go.
The Batman.
Is that that new movie that's coming out that was supposed to come out?
They've been teasing the new Batsuit.
I forget who's.
Yeah, but it's Robert Patterson.
Yeah, Robert Patterson, right.
Patterson.
Patterson?
Yes, Patterson.
The guy who was in Twilight?
Yeah, that guy.
Yeah, that guy.
Was he in anything else?
Harry Potter?
Was he really?
I've never seen Twilight or Harry Potter.
Dude, Robert Patterson's been in a ton of movies.
I didn't think he was in Harry Potter.
Has he?
What else?
He's in Harry Potter?
Are you serious?
I've never seen him.
He's Cedric Diggory, man.
Is that his name, Diggory?
He gets killed by Voldemort.
Come on.
You're millennials.
I read the book this morning.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know who you're talking about.
Let's see.
How do I look up this guy's name?
Yeah, that's it.
There we go.
Pattinson.
Pattinson.
So, here's this guy.
What's he doing?
Oh, he's in Tenet. Oh, okay.
You know what? Actually, on that note, I am so excited about that movie.
Anytime I see anything for it, I breeze right past. You can't read it.
No, I don't want to know anything because I know
I'm going to like that movie. I don't want to see anything. I hope that's the first movie.
I'm completely blind. Every time. I don't want to see anything. I hope that's the first movie. I want to go in completely blind.
I haven't.
Every time I see a trailer, I turn.
I walk out of the room.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Do you know what it's about?
I've seen like.
Oh, man.
Oh, this looks.
Wait.
Oh, what is this?
Oh, I got to get out of here.
No, I don't want to see it. So do you know the general premise of what's happening?
No, I don't really even know what it's about.
Then why don't you want.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
What if you don't like it?
It's a Christopher Nolan movie.
Okay, yeah, that's fair. No, no, I'm sorry, man. We need to be able to talk. He's good. We need to be able to talk about what the movie is about. What do you mean? What if you don't like it? It's a Christopher Nolan movie.
I'm sorry, man.
We need to be able to talk about what the movie is about.
Right now? Why?
We're talking about Superman.
Let's bring it back to Superman.
You want to do a segment on it?
I can prepare myself.
Tenet looks awesome.
We'll leave it at that.
I like Christopher Nolan stuff.
I want the theaters back open.
Yep.
Yes.
And we can actually do stuff about movie reviews like we used to.
Remember those days? Yeah, I know.
It was fun.
Remember stuff.
Those are the old times.
The old times.
Yes, the old times.
Timothy, this is very important.
I need you to know this.
I really want that movie to be the first movie we see when we get out of lockdown.
Wait, when does it come out?
The timing is correct because I have been waiting to see that movie ever since I saw the first ad.
When does it come out?
Yeah, I'm nervous.
When does it come out?
Anybody know?
July 17th.
Ooh, we better be out before then.
Oh, yeah.
We should be.
We have to watch it though.
Wait, didn't AMC go out on her though?
I don't know.
That's AMC right there.
Yeah, I know.
So didn't they close down like indefinitely or something?
I'm not sure.
I thought we talked about that.
I have not.
We can find a theater nearby.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
We're good.
We're good.
It's in IMAX.
I want to see it in IMAX.
But yeah, I want to do the first movie.
The Batman.
Oh, yeah, the Batman.
So it is the Batman that he's in.
So this is the one that Henry Cavill might be in.
Can't be old.
So is it going to be like a young Batman?
I don't know. I don't know how it's going to work.
It seems like it would be
because he's a younger
man. He's in his 30s I think, right?
Robert Pattinson.
I have his...
What is he, 50?
No, he's like 35.
34. He's younger than me.
Oh, he's a spring chick.
I thought you were 34.
I am, but his birthday's in May and mine's in March.
Oh, you got him by two months.
Good for you.
Good for you, buddy.
So I guess he's not going to be a young Batman, but it's going to be not the peak of his career, maybe.
Prequel type stuff.
Yeah, I mean prequel.
You know, I guess they need to do it.
But then what do they do?
Do they bring back Ben Affleck if they do Justice League 2?
Yeah, I don't know.
Probably.
Well, this is probably going to be a standalone thing.
The Batman, you know, it's so obvious they wanted to beat Avengers.
So they rushed it.
Yeah, they had.
I see that.
Yeah, they could have done Cyborg Mother Box.
Then they could have done Wonder Woman 2 Mother Box.
And but instead they were like
let's do it all at once and oh there they are it's like dude you need to introduce these things and
let people get get custom like nobody thought iron man was going to be huge because iron man was not
a top tier marvel character i guess my understanding of it and i could be wrong about this so marvel
fans don't get mad at me uh my understanding was that marvel had sold a lot of their characters
away okay like x-men to Fox and Spider-Man to Sony.
And so they were like, who do we have because we're going to make a movie?
And they did the Hulk.
So Marvel was basically like, all of these studios that did these movies have failed.
And they've done the characters wrong.
So if we get funding and do a movie, it'll work.
So they did the Hulk.
The Hulk was kind of like, meh.
They did Iron Man.
And that was a hit.
I mean, Robert Downey Jr. was... He made it happen.
Seriously. I think that's
the reason it was as good as it was, because he
played Stark so well.
He is Stark. Yeah. It was like...
Definitely. I thought... This could be
apocryphal, but I heard that
he called his agent and said, that's me. And he
walked in and he's like, I'm Tony Stark.
Oh, right. Oh, in the beginning.
That's what I heard he told them
like that wouldn't surprise me and like he played it so well yeah yeah dude robert ronald jr is
amazing yeah i can't believe he basically saved the marvel company because they were they were
in trouble they went bankrupt or whatever oh really yeah and they started selling off the
rights of the characters because they needed money oh i see something like that and then
the mcu yeah i was like magic what an awesome movie dude you don't you know
i didn't realize because it's been a decade but i was going back and looking at all these like i
was watching an older movie and i'm like i wonder how much this movie made in the box office and it
was like a 35 million dollar budget and it made like 50 million and that was a success and i was
like whoa only made only profit of 15 mil? 50.
No, no, no.
They made 50, but it cost 35.
And marketing and stuff,
they probably made less than that.
Yeah, that's a good point.
The reason I say whoa is you look back at movies in the 2000s
and the 90s and stuff
and they had smaller budgets
and made way less money.
Then you look at Marvel
and it's like they have a $200 million budget
and made a billion dollars.
Yeah.
Like every single movie they've done.
Yeah, it's insane.
And so that's the thing about what people don't realize about the DC movies is that they're like,
they're not really good.
It's like, let me pull up...
A list of DC movies?
No, let me...
I am interested in that, though.
I'm going to do that on the side here.
Let me pull up Justice League here.
All right, we're Googling.
I'm duck-duck going. So here. Oh, sorry, here oh sorry sorry for the record there we go tim's back on justice league was a
300 million dollar budget it made 657.9 million dollars so even if you compare this to like
movies a long time ago that was like a tenfold you know amount of money a lot of other movies
i would you know Maybe I'm wrong.
There were high budget movies back in the day
but it seems like
we're really in this era
of the billion dollar blockbuster.
So they know.
They're like,
just keep making more DC movies
because even if they're bad
people can go see them
because they love it.
Like Aquaman
was just good enough for me.
I liked it.
The ending was
just spectacular visuals.
Yeah.
It was a good movie.
I liked it.
The music was kind of weird.
Wonder Woman was awesome.
I didn't think about the music.
I liked Aquaman. It was a good movie.
You know why I'm really angry?
Because they had to postpone
Wonder Woman.
1984?
That looks good. I'm excited to see that movie.
Where are we at?
Gal Gadot. Let's see.
What's she up to?
Filmography.
Oh, I like her a little less after this.
So Wonder Woman 1984.
Let's see.
What's the...
Wonder Woman is the perfect example of a powerful female lead, and it's an awesome movie.
Everyone I've talked to is like, yeah, that movie was awesome.
It's like, you don't need... It wasn't like that movie was awesome. It wasn't social justice-y.
There was essences of it. But it was done right.
It was done correctly. I really respected her.
August 14th for Wonder Woman 1984.
Dude, I love the trailer for this movie. I was excited for this.
You like the remake of that song? Yeah, dude. Blue Monday. So good. I freaking love that. Orchestral
Blue Monday. So I was looking up DC movies that are coming out
and Wonder Woman's right at the top. And I guess they just announced
Green Lantern Corps. Really? The Green Lantern Corps.
We gotta get a cameo. A group of humans join the Green Lantern Corps,
an alien interspace police force that protects the interforce.
I always liked Green Lantern.
We got to get a cameo from Ryan Reynolds on that one.
That would be hilarious.
Yes.
Even if it's just five seconds.
Doesn't matter.
You got to have some cameo in that movie.
Please, Ryan.
Come on.
He's great.
He's hilarious.
I follow him and he's a funny dude.
He's the best celebrity.
He's one of the best.
Funny, humble, self-deprecating.
Yeah, it's true.
He's got great qualities.
And Deadpool was like on the mark.
He was Deadpool.
He did such a good job.
It was him.
That was the joke.
I guess in the comic they said Deadpool is a combination of Ryan Reynolds mixed with Sharpay.
Or something like that.
That's great.
And Ryan was really advocating for Deadpool and like, wow, man.
Oh, he made that movie happen.
But think about Ryan Reynolds' stature, his voice.
He's Deadpool, man.
He's so Deadpool.
It's so true.
It's like Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man. And Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool.
Awesome.
I will go and see 50 Deadpool movies if they keep making them.
Totally.
Same here.
The silly fun is hilarious.
I would say the same thing with Iron Man, but they killed him off.
Why did they have to kill him off? The fact of the matter is both of them can't keep doing it.
You know what I mean?
But, I mean, Pirates of the Caribbean.
Dude, Deadpool 2 is hilarious. I love those movies. How many others? There's five of them? They're doing it. You know what I mean? But, I mean, Pirates of the Caribbean. Dude, Deadpool 2 is hilarious.
I love Deadpool 2.
How many others?
There's five of them?
They're doing more.
Pirates?
Yeah.
Are they bringing him back?
I believe they're bringing back Johnny Depp.
They freaking better.
Yes.
Win for Johnny.
Yes.
You go, Johnny.
All right.
So let's hop back over to the last few Super Chats here.
And we've gone over a little bit like normal, but, you know, it's okay.
Classy.
As usual.
Let's see. Where are we at on these super chats
oh I like this one
oh man people are bringing up some really good points
I want to read these
okay here we are
let's see
normies get out says superman is the lamest
superhero debate me
I actually think there's good points we made about
superman being a weird
character because he's too powerful he is me. I actually think there's good points being made about Superman being a weird character.
Because he's too powerful. There's not enough...
He is.
He's got weird powers that
don't really make sense.
They really try to explain
the Flash, for instance.
The speed force. They try to create some
kind of system so you can
understand his powers. Superman
shoots lasers, frees breath.
Yeah.
At one point, Superman could fire little Supermans out of his palms.
I love that so much.
Hold on.
Pink Kryptonite turns him gay.
Oh, of course it does.
Not kidding.
Wait, seriously?
That is awesome.
Why?
I don't know.
What?
They just keep writing crazy and crazier stuff.
Okay.
Sounds very 80s, I'm just saying.
So, yes.
I would agree, Superman. I don't think he's the lamest, though. I and crazier stuff. Okay. Sounds very 80s. I'm just saying. So, yes. I would agree Superman.
I don't think he's the lamest, though.
I think they have really bad superheroes.
But I still like Superman.
It's cool.
Like what?
Really lame superheroes.
Yeah, give me one.
That's worse than Superman.
On the top of my head?
Yeah, quickly.
Right now.
Go.
I don't think I could.
Okay.
That's fine.
I had to put you on the spot, though.
Too much pressure.
No, when I think of superheroes, I don't care for the lame ones.
That's why.
Good point. Yeah. So, when I'm thinking of thinking of they don't deserve space in the memory i don't watch videos of the lame superheroes okay and they actually proves that
superman's actually not that bad no all right but i do i do think it's worthy of criticism
nathan says my wife works in st paul hospital where they are closing down due to writing
family of mine work in national guard on their way to assist in managing the riots Wow.
Kevin Conroy?
What did he play Batman in?
He's the voice actor for all Batman.
So I will tell you this straight up.
For cartoon Batman?
For video games and cartoons, Kevin Conroy absolutely is in video games also yes okay well his voice is batman end of story i gotta give it to him so if we were if we were gonna
take everyone's ever done anything having to do with batman i would still give adam west number
one because he's the legend classic true True. Then Kevin Conroy for sure.
If we're talking about live action stuff, Kevin Conroy, you know.
But I absolutely think he is the best voice.
Look, Adam West has a special place as legend status.
Yeah.
But if I'm talking about serious Batman fighting and seriousness, Kevin Conroy for sure.
Well, it's like Mark Hamill is the Joker.
He is.
Mark Hamill. Joker, dude. seriousness kevin conroy for sure well it's like mark hamill is the joker he is mark hamill man
joker dude he he was like being interviewed and someone's like can you can you do like the joker
voice and he was like yeah okay and then like did it for a while and i was like whoa like he became
a different person dude the animated batman animated series is one of the best pieces of art
yeah and it was the first cartoon everyone an em an Emmy. Oh, wow. That's cool.
The Mr. Freeze episode.
Nice.
I think it was an Emmy.
That's cool.
And then Bill says,
Kevin Conroy will always
be best Batman.
Yeah, yeah.
Barb says,
not only is Henry Cavill
a great Superman,
but he also plays
World of Warcraft.
He apparently missed
the initial call saying
he got the role
because you're in the middle
of a clan boss raid.
That's awesome.
Oh, my gosh.
That's funny.
That's pretty cool.
Ryan Woodward says,
here's 50 bucks for telling Jack Dorsey to his face that regulation was coming for him. That's awesome. Oh my gosh, that's funny. That's pretty cool. Ryan Woodward says, here's 50 bucks
for telling Jack Dorsey
to his face
that regulation

Oh yeah.
You did.
I did.
Tim Pool profit.
And here it is.
And he responded.
Andrew Hillier says,
Christian Bale,
best Bruce Wayne,
Ben Affleck,
best Batman.
Interesting.
That's a good point.
Bobby says,
Kevin Conroy is best.
VA,
a voice actor
from animated series. i think we stand
corrected on that one for sure kevin conroy sean caldwell says thank y'all for thank all y'all for

Now I do. Thank you, everybody.
Political Podette says, Chris Maloney has level
4 TDS. Look at his Twitter. That's a shame.
It's a shame, but listen.
So does Mark Ruffalo.
I still like him as a person. I have seen that.
It's bad, man.
It makes me sad. I'm like, come on. It's a little
cringy. A lot. It's so cringy. It just makes me think about what we say. It's like the man. Yeah. It makes me sad. I'm like, come on. It's a little cringy, a lot. It's so cringy.
And it just makes me think about what we say.
It's like the people on the left just stay on the left and only look for news on the left instead of being on the right or in the middle and looking at all news and being like, hmm, hmm, good points.
I'm going to take what I got from all of those and make my own decisions.
Sure, sure.
But my issue isn't about that.
With Mark Ruffalo, it's that you need to stand up so you can pull the stick out of your butt.
It's a little different.
I wasn't expecting that, but okay.
The way they act.
You can hate the president.
You can be wrong about the president.
But what they do is something different.
Like he goes on Twitter and he's just like.
Yeah, I see that.
You're not making any points.
You're just screeching nonstop.
But I will tell you this.
I think he does a great job as the Hulk.
I look forward to seeing him in more movies.
I think he does a really good job.
I really like him as an actor.
And that's okay that I don't like his politics and I wish he had that in him as well.
That we can disagree and not like each other
but still have a professional respect for the work other people do.
Yep.
But he's out there, man.
Nobody's perfect.
Chris Evans did this thing where he started meeting with Republicans to talk to him.
That was so cool.
He's got TDS, but I really respect that he tried.
Yeah.
You know?
That's good.
He did the right thing.
Robert Contreras says, how do you like Henry Cavill on The Witcher?
I have never seen such a perfect match for a role.
Ledger for Joker, maybe, but Cavill is great. I couldn't get into The Witcher? I have never seen such a perfect match for a role. Ledger for Joker, maybe,
but Cavill is great. I couldn't get into The Witcher.
I fell off of it, the show. I am
the same. You know what's funny?
Every so often, I'm like, alright, I'm gonna
finish the first season at least.
And I watch an episode and I'm like,
why? Although I
haven't played The Witcher games, and I feel
like that might make a difference if I actually played
the games and I knew the lore of the universe.
And then, you know, maybe watching the TV show.
But I feel like there's something with the writing.
It feels like I'm living, I'm watching something from the 90s, like something Kevin Sorbo would do.
You know what I mean?
Hey, man, don't rag on Sorbo.
Oh, no, Kevin Sorbo was awesome.
Hercules was awesome.
I know, but watching it now, it's like, okay, what is this?
There's a little cheesy element to it.
And I feel like they were trying to be so realistic, but they still had this cheese element, too, that I just can't unsee.
Hercules was awesome.
Hercules was awesome.
I watched that show.
It was a good show.
I liked it.
I'm not trying to diss Kevin Sorbo.
Kevin Sorbo is great.
Comparing the quality
levels of what Witcher was going to be,
this grandiose adaptation, and instead
it turned into one of these CW
kind of shows. Yeah, a little bit.
There's a little element of something about
that show that I just...
I like the CW shows too, but
it's like Game of Thrones compared to Arrow.
It's like... But Thrones compared to Arrow. It's like, well, actually, I'll take that back.
But they really wanted to be this epic thing, and it was like they portrayed it.
I mean, there's some good fight scenes.
I don't want to deny that The Witcher has really cool elements to it.
How did Westworld become such garbage?
Oh, man, I don't want to talk about Westworld.
Westworld just started way up here
and just slowly disintegrated
as it went along.
Cliff says, watch Grace Randolph
to find out about movies.
Wanda says,
he was also in a movie called Remember Me
about the Twin Towers.
Chef Spork says, it's not the
old times, it's the before times. Yes, the before times.
The before times. NormiesGetOut says,
Tim, I got laid off
when oil busted. Texan here. Can I have a job?
I promise I won't tell everyone what's under
your beanie. Unfortunately, I am
not hiring. But maybe, so the
first thing that has to happen is building, and
then it could be six months, a year. So
I guess we'll see what happens.
Sean Moore says, Ken West told me
as CTO of Marvel, he was against Downey since he was a felon and a drunk.
Crazy.
Maybe Sapien says, greetings, brodacious Beanie Brigade.
Tim, your Karen impression is spot on.
Please do it one more time.
I don't remember what I did for the Karen impression.
I don't remember either.
Your impressions in general are pretty spot on, bro.
I enjoy your impressions.
Yeah.
Yeah, I got to say.
I could probably do.
Quality.
Quality.
Top tier.
Hire some animators. We'll do some comedy. You can say, let me talk to your manager. I need Yeah, I gotta say. I could probably do... Quality. Quality. Top tier. Hire some animators.
We'll do some comedy.
You could say, let me talk to your manager.
I need to talk to your manager.
Let me talk to your manager.
Yes.
It's like Midwestern.
There you go.
Oh, gosh.
Kind of.
Nasally.
Whiny.
Andrew Starr says, did y'all see the pawn shop owner who defended his property last
night with a gun?
Yep.
And has already been arrested for murder, but the cop is still free.
That is insane, man.
Isn't that weird?
Yeah.
Insane.
Defending himself.
Versus, yeah, seriously.
Character holding says,
Tim for Joker, Adam for Batman, Lydia for her choice.
All the female characters are awesome.
STFU says,
I'll be Batman.
Oh, yeah.
Passion of the Christ, $83 million opening weekend.
Man, that, wow.
That's amazing.
Wow.
Vipiris says,
The Batman is supposed to be set shortly after Bruce Wayne puts on the cowl.
Mainly focus on the detective part of the character and covers an entire year in which you see Bruce Wayne improve his suit and gadgets.
Cool.
Oh, that sounds fun.
Yeah.
John R., thanks for the super chat.
Andrew says Hugh Jackman is Wolverine.
Definitely.
Oh, yes.
But Wolverine was supposed to be short.
Hugh Jackman is like 6'5".
Or some ridiculous height.
Well, then they shortened him.
He doesn't seem that tall.
No, in the movies.
He doesn't seem 6'5".
I know he's a tall guy,
but I feel like they probably shrunk him down
because you see him next to all those other guys,
the X-Men,
and he doesn't seem 6'5".
6'5", that's tall.
That's a tall man.
He's 6'2".
Oh, okay, 6'2".
Still, I mean, that's not as tall, but still.
Wolverine was supposed to be tiny, like 5'4", or something.
I know, but really?
But that statement, what is it, Andrew Starr?
Is so true.
It is.
I gotta give it to you.
He was Wolverine, absolutely.
Hands down.
Marshall Levine says, I've been in love with Robert Downey Jr. He was Wolverine. Absolutely. Hands down. Marshall Levine says,
I've been in love with Robert Downey Jr. since Weird Science
1985. I date myself.
Shazam! The Sat TV show on
After ISIS needs to be a movie too.
Weird Science was fun.
It was made before I was alive, but I did see it when I was younger.
Nolan says,
Have some Walmart cart pusher cash beanie man.
Today's my payday. Appreciate it.
Tyler Street says, Rip Joe Rogan.
Why? What happened?
That is a growing meme.
I don't understand it.

It looks like
this channel might pop up more
only because it's not censored like my other channels.
But dude, it's Fox News
and MSNBC across the board.
So share! Share our videos.
Tell everyone how awesome or terrible we are.
I accept both.
