He could just scream surprise.
That'd be really funny.
I have no idea.
I have no idea, man.
But today, it's pretty crazy.
Oh, in honor of the episode, $69.
Thank you.
No way!
Thank you.
I knew telling them that it was the 69th episode was a good idea.
All right.
Everyone agrees.
It's very nice.
Thank you for that.
So we got a bunch of stories, man.
But the big stories, of course, has to do with, I don't know, just all the shenanigans.
Yeah, yeah.
I saw this story earlier.
Minneapolis City Council are considering disbanding the police.
And I just started laughing. Really? I mean, just the just the shit like you know what man it's over it's
done it's like just just shut it all down no one has any idea what's going on the don't wear mask
wear mask don't wear mask again retract the study hydroxychloroquine is bad covid's gone but it's
here now it's gone again yeah i'm i'm just like what is anyone going to be doing i talked to my
friends and they're and i'm like, so what?
We don't wear masks now?
I guess they retracted the mask study saying that we should.
And they were like, no, no, you're not supposed to wear masks.
And I'm like, bro, where have you been?
Didn't you see the news?
They changed that.
No, they didn't.
They did.
No one knows.
I'm like, I'm talking to my friends.
When was the last time you read the news?
Wait, hold on, hold on.
So are we supposed to wear masks or not?
Yes. Okay, okay. Thank you. Right, right Wait, hold on, hold on. So are we supposed to wear masks or not? Yes.
Okay, okay.
Thank you.
Right, right, right.
Clearing that up.
Yeah.
Because I wasn't sure where we ended up with that.
Yeah, where did we end up?
Thank you for clarifying.
I try to talk to my friends.
Like, I'm talking to Facebook, and I'm like, so what happened to COVID?
They're like, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, COVID.
COVID's gone.
Yeah, we were all supposed to be scared of that.
So now they're talking about disbanding the police in minneapolis yeah so look man if there's one thing anyone's learned is that
as just far as i can tell as far as uh it goes with politics i hate to say it but violence terror
works yeah it does seems like it that's it like that south park so uh the lapd is going to get
defunded i guess 150 million $150 million. $150 million.
Yeah, we've got qualified immunity.
Now, this one's interesting.
You can't sue the cops?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you can, but it has to be based on a previous suit.
Someone has to have already been tried for the same issue, essentially.
I was reading about it a little
bit it's right it's loose it's it's not easy to sue anybody if they get rid of this it's like
if they get rid of it that means cops have to be liable and i was just like wow that's that's
legit that's accountability they're gonna think about things before they do things because they
can be sued by the the the family members or you know know, it's an interesting thing.
You know, and I think this, you know, we almost wanted to lead with this story
about Greek, like, anti-fog Black Lives Matter activists firebombing the U.S. Embassy.
But it really is just that one tidbit.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's a very short story.
Riots broke out.
They were chanting, Black Lives Matter, I can't breathe, throwing firebombs.
It's literally like 30 words.
Very peaceful.
So, yes. Well, that it's not it's not the united
states yeah but uh you know our first story is gonna be about minneapolis but hey as you're
tuning in you can hop over to their super chat and have your super chats be ready because we
will read them however because we we definitely have a hard stop day because i gotta go on crowder
like at 10 o'clock we're stopping because then i'm gonna immediately get ready for the 10 15 you know guest spot on ladder of crowder
live so once we're done you guys can jump over there and hang out again but we're gonna try and
read as many super tests as we can we probably won't get to everybody and that's just becoming
the case now because so many people have been watching the show live and it's it's awesome we
love all of you guys but it becomes impossible so here's what you gotta do you gotta smash that
like button smash Smash it.
Get a hammer out. No, no, don't do that. I'm kidding.
Wait, wait, wait. No hammer. Just tap it. Just a little tap on your phone.
A light smash.
A very, very heavy-handed
light smash.
Subscribe. Notification bell.
Whatever YouTube, I don't know.
YouTube apparently... Share it.
Yeah, because YouTube won't.
So there it is. You must share it. Yeah. Because YouTube won't. So there it is.
You must share it.
Responsibility is yours.
And smash that like button.
How do we already have
so many Super Chats, you guys?
We didn't even get started yet.
Wow, we have so many.
This is awesome.
Should we just jump
to the Super Chats first?
Well, let's...
I mean, I'm down.
As we get...
That's a good idea.
As we get warmed up,
people are slowly coming to the show. They're just getting notifications. Yeah, that's a good idea. As we get warmed up, people are slowly coming in the show.
They're just getting notifications.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
I like it.
But a lot of these Super Chats are from, we haven't even started yet.
Okay.
So we'll address these as quickly as we can.
Let's do it.
Let's see what we can do.
So Minnesota Mando, thanks for the Super Chat.
That guy who shrugs says, Tim, what do you think are Trump's chances of winning at this point?
And how will national voting look due to the fact that Dems might us up again due to an uptick on cases because of the protest?
Might us up?
What does that mean?
Mess us up?
Jam us up?
Jam us up?
Maybe.
I'm actually thinking Trump might lose more and more.
Really?
Because it's – they are really, really unleashing the beast.
It's like every –
It feels like everyone's trying to steer this narrative.
Like every single thing
that's happened is trump's fault everything not even not even that but like all the celebrities
that are coming out every youtuber it's like everything is just being lined up they are they
are firing every last thing they they have yeah to go at trump it's hard to know man i think
man i kind of feel like no matter what happens, there's some kind of civil war.
Do you know the number one search term on Google today was Boogaloo?
Really?
Boogaloo.
Boogaloo.
Yeah.
So I saw, I think it was Brian Stelter who tweeted,
like the top search terms was like, of the past week was,
what do I do in the event of martial law?
Where should I go during martial law?
What do I do in a civil war?
And so I looked up Google search terms and number one, Boogaloo.
Wow.
More than double the
number two search term which what was that i think that the second one was like lafayette protest or
something okay so people are searching for boogaloo yeah think about how funny that is it's going to
be like 100 years and they're going to be like the second civil war of america the Great Boogaloo. Wow. Tell me more, Grandpa, about why it was called
Boogaloo. Well, it was a movie in the
80s. 1980s.
And then I have to explain to everybody the memes.
The memes. What is it
from, Boogaloo?
What is it called? What was the name of the movie?
I don't remember. It was something electric
Boogaloo. Everybody knows it. Oh, it's like the second one.
Yeah, Google it. Electric Boogaloo.
I was going to say, hit us up, chat.
Yeah, that would help.
Chat's going to start screaming it soon.
It's a really crappy movie, too.
It's like a B-movie that no one knew.
Breaking 2, Electric Boogaloo.
Breaking 2, Electric Boogaloo.
Yep.
And because 2 and Boogaloo works, everybody rolls with it.
You didn't even need to look it up.
People are already hitting us up with that.
You know what's funny about
this? I think
back to
famous quotes from founding fathers
and people of great merit, and they're very
like, man,
you know, the quotes
you read are never like
off-the-cuff slang trash. It's always
well-formulated.
It is better that 100 guilty persons escape
than one innocent suffer.
Today, if someone said that,
it would be like,
guilty people, man,
they should be let out
because innocent, you know,
they shouldn't be hurt.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, quotes today.
Right.
I was also thinking
about how political correctness
would affect quotes.
Okay.
And I was thinking like you
can you can uh they didn't say i think they actually may have said guilty persons but you
look back at history and it would say something like you know never a man shall you know fight
without his spirit or some you know some very noble statement and today it's like we'd have to
all our quotes are going to be super pc you know it's going to be persons and and people so like you
know they they and them yeah oh dude this is really funny like uh there i don't know if you
saw the video it was this uh like 18 year old antifa leftist who got arrested okay oh i tweeted
it yeah yeah i don't know if you guys watching saw this and she's hyperventilating like like
freaking out and she's getting flex cuffed and and the cop's laughing, and they're like, why are you laughing at her?
Because that's hilarious.
Because her shirt said, do crime.
It said, be gay, do crimes.
Yeah.
What?
Well, stuck on the first part.
So you went and did some crime, and you're getting arrested for it.
So I did a segment about this this morning, and I'm not trying to be mean, because look,
man, kids are kids.
When I watch a toddler fall over and stub his knee and cry,
you know, I might laugh,
but it's not because I'm, you know,
trying to make the kid feel bad.
It's because we get it.
You're a kid and you're naive and young.
Now, you know the best thing you got to do?
You got to go, yes, you did it.
And they look and they're like, yeah, I did it. And then they grow up to become masochists.
They're like, yes, yeah.
Whacking themselves.
No, no.
But anyway, somebody responded to me because I commented like civil disobedience involves getting arrested.
Like any activist will tell you if you want to go on protest, you'll be arrested.
Don't worry about it.
Yeah.
It's like a slap on the wrist.
It's like as soon as you get your conviction, okay, it's a suspended sentence.
Go home.
We don't care.
You're done almost all the activists get this thing i've read what's called where it's
like okay as long as you don't commit another commit a crime nothing happens go home and they
just walk out yeah this kid's freaking out somebody responded to me using gender neutral pronouns oh
no and i'm reading and i'm like what they said makes no sense yeah because there's multiple
people there and multiple people were asking for medicine and so they were like you know they were getting arrested because their
stuff was left and i'm like wait wait who the stuff was everyone here hold on hold on the
medicine belonged to the other person bro you got to use english man it's clearly a female
and like she she like she even tweeted and she didn't even have pronouns or anything so like
what are you talking about?
Now this guy is assuming her pronouns are they or they.
Oh, wow.
And I'm, you know.
I can see the backlash coming.
But yeah, so that's the anyway.
I'm just imagining the future.
How dare you, Tim?
Well, so.
How dare you?
Think about.
This is where we need the little Greta buttons where she pop up on the bottom of the screen.
You still really need that, yeah.
How dare you?
And then go down. I want it.
Think about what the future's going to be if this is what language...
You know what, man? I'm sorry. I just got to say it.
It's boogaloo, man. You know why?
You know why? Because there's no
way for these two different disparate
worlds to coexist.
Yeah. They can't.
Did you hear what happened with the New York Times? We were
talking about it a little bit. I might get a phone call
and I'm going to cancel my New York Times live
if they call me. That would be hilarious.
Where did you put your phone?
There we go. You're getting a call. Is it
the New York Times? I don't know if it was the New York Times
or not. How would you know anyway?
It might say New York Times, I guess.
They ran an op-ed from Tom Cotton
saying, send in the troops. New York Times, I guess. So they ran an op-ed from Tom Cotton saying, send in the troops.
And New York Times staffers who are leftist revolted, demanding they take it down or whatever.
So the New York Times apologized.
To their staffers?
To everyone.
For writing an op-ed?
For publishing Tom Cotton's op-ed saying, send in the military.
I mean, was it far-fetched?
Was it crazy? Was it legit to be posting? I didn in the military. I mean, was it far-fetched? Was it crazy?
Was it legit to be posting?
I didn't read it.
Yeah, it was fine.
It was like, you know, let me try and fix your audio.
It said something to the effect of we've got rioters running rampant for the past few weeks.
The rioting may wane.
It may come back.
And so let's get the American military on the streets.
And the left was like, Tom Cotton's calling for Tiananmen Square.
I'm like, what are you talking about?
He's calling for people to be sitting on a street corner because rioters are destroying everything.
Dude, it's been used before.
It's not.
And he specifically in the op-ed said we must, like, he basically said we must protect the peaceful protesters.
Yeah, exactly. For being, you know these writers and this is why i'm like you know man after watching that arrest of that little girl you know who was crying and hyperventilating
i'm not super worried necessarily about a civil war okay these people these people are playing
games like they don't really know what's going on yeah they're disrupting things and breaking
everything yeah i'm seeing that a lot this is you know what i was thinking man so i've canceled my
new york times subscription before okay and then things kind of chilled out a little bit they they
made some hires i thought was actually pretty good so like okay i'll get the new york times again
now i'm just like nah that's it i'm cutting it off because now it's it's worse than ever
now it's like we our cultural Now it's like our cultural institutions
don't have the strength to tell these
whiny little pathetic babies to
shut the up.
Just shut up.
They've been spoiled by movies
and video games thinking that
they know what life is about.
But that's just it. They've been stuck in video
games.
They're living in that world.
They think that that's how it works.
I feel like your audio is low for some reason.
It's weird.
Yeah, that's what I was saying earlier.
It's like cutting out.
Dude, I have no idea.
I was trying to, we were trying to figure it out.
Can we just get a little closer?
We'll get a little closer to the mic.
There you go.
That's definitely better.
Weird.
Hello there.
That's weird.
Maybe I'm closer than you are.
Can you hear me now?
Yes, I can, sir.
All right.
Demolition man.
It's demolition man.
Demolition man. Yep. So, you know i think we we have this obsession with safety yeah and now you know we've had we've
talked about snow snowplow parents and all this stuff at what point do you let your kid fall down
and just get hurt yeah we need that our skin has gotten thin it breaks so easy they need a tourniquet you know
it's really funny seriously what's really funny i did there yeah yeah i brought that around so
so in that in that clip this is this is really really funny um the one the one girl's getting
arrested and then her sister i guess is like i need my insulin i need my insulin give me my
insulin it's in my bag and the cops just like no no and she goes my blood sugar is getting low and
i need my insulin and then right away i'm, when your blood sugar is low, you don't
take insulin. Yeah. You need to eat sugar. Yeah. That will kill you. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
You'll go into a coma. You need to be given sugar. So, so all these people are all, I'm looking at
this tweet had a million views, dude. This, this little girl getting arrested. And I'm looking at
all the responses on Twitter and people are like, is you know this is obvious police brutality things like that and
i'm like if the if the cop gave her that bag and she thought her blood sugar was low and gave her
and then she injected insulin and she just died yeah is that is it the cop's fault i mean not
necessarily but a cop's probably like what you you want to inject insulin when your blood sugar is low?
I'm not going to give you your bag.
Yeah.
Or he might not know.
Now, here's the best part.
What else could be in the bag?
Well, here's the best part.
When the other guy starts yelling, she needs her dialysis.
You have to give her dialysis.
I'm like, what is wrong?
Do you know what dialysis is?
Obviously not.
Oh, my goodness.
Dude, I think these people...
So I tweeted, Antifa, our leftist incels, changed my mind.
I saw that.
But I don't mean...
You caught some heat for that.
Did I?
I don't care.
I know you don't care.
I love it.
It's hugely popular.
I got a notification from Twitter saying someone reported the tweet,
and they found no violation of the rules or German law.
So somebody in Germany did it.
I'm like, oh, yeah, well, it makes sense
because Germany is an Antifa hotbed.
Like all the poor babies are mad
that I made fun of them.
But I don't mean incel in the literal term
involuntary celibate.
I mean, they're the left's equivalent
of what they call incels.
They are young people who are homebodies,
who lack social skills,
who are immature.
Entitled as?
Yes.
Sitting and complaining about the world
because they lack purpose
and they can't solve their own problems.
Yep.
So that's what I meant.
And it's true.
It's 100% true.
But the problem is for our societies,
when, you know, on Reddit,
they have a subreddit called Incel Tears.
Okay.
And they just mock and berate incels on Reddit.
And I'm like, that's a bullying subreddit.
Like, I'm not cool with that.
If someone's got a social problem, I think we should help them solve that problem.
Agreed.
The issue is that the incels aren't really going out and doing anything.
Yeah, they don't want to.
I mean, they want girlfriends and stuff,
but they're socially kind of messed up.
If you're messed up and you're sitting in your basement
and you're messed up about it, I mean, I think you need help,
but as long as you're not hurting anybody,
what do you want me to complain about?
Now, the Antifa people who are socially messed up
and believe insane things are not being stopped,
are not being mocked, and actually, if you mock them,
you'll get banned, so they're being bolstered.
And this is the problem I have with that girl getting arrested.
Basically, it was saying, in a normal world, when she got arrested,
people would laugh at her and she'd toughen up and realize it wasn't that bad.
Instead, she has everyone...
Oh, poor baby.
A million views.
How dare they treat her like this?
She got a million views. She sat in a bus for three hours and then they let her go. Yeah, seriously. Like, are you. A million views. How dare they treat her like this? She got a million views.
She sat in a bus for three hours and then they let her go.
I know.
Seriously.
Yeah, seriously.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah.
That's it?
The worst thing.
You didn't even have to go to jail?
You sat in a bus for three hours?
Dude, it's more painful to fly to New Zealand.
Like, going on a trip to New Zealand, oh man, sitting for 12 hours in those chairs?
Eh.
Man.
You know. But you get to go to New
Zealand afterwards so but I know but I mean like even going on a like Pacific Island vacation
is harder than getting arrested for a few hours but she's getting reinforced by everybody in on
Twitter but she's also getting a million views so you know what she's gonna do do it again yeah do
it again heck yeah like that was great. I'm going to get more.
Why would I stop now?
Seriously.
I don't know.
I have a feeling that more than half of those views were people laughing at her.
I hope so.
Of course.
I mean, I'm reading the comments.
But it's views.
Everybody's making fun of her.
Views is views, man.
Yeah, views is views.
You know what's crazy is that we used to have this culture growing up in school where inside your school there was kind of like a hierarchy in a sense.
There were cliques.
Checking order.
Yeah, yeah.
And I think each school is kind of different because the schools I went to didn't really have that but kind of did.
Yeah.
Certain groups who hung out together and did specific things.
And they knew who the popular kid was.
Now it's all just math on social media. And what happens is, like I've explained before, it creates the opportunity for political candidates like AOC who have almost 7 million followers.
But she clearly doesn't have that many people in her district.
What she's doing is she's highlighting the random fringe extremists from all over the country into a single place where they can come together online.
But in the real world, none of these people form groups.
So that's what happens.
These kids in school who are normally the weirdo loser kids that wouldn't get any clout,
that wouldn't be praised, are finding a way to get traffic online.
And it's like warping their minds.
To thinking they're right.
No, no.
It's not even about thinking they're right.
It's about thinking they're gaining.
They're winning.
You know, it feels good.
I'm getting. I'm winning. It feels like it about thinking they're right. It's about thinking they're gaining. They're winning. You know? It feels good. I'm getting.
I'm winning.
It feels like it's the same.
Yeah.
Sure.
Same thing.
So you have this 18-year-old who's a weirdo. Like, I looked at her TikTok, and I'm like, just not, you know, not one of the cool kids.
Yeah.
Just kind of a weirdo.
But now, after this arrest and this weird hyperventilating, I'm being brutalized, help me, help me, now her following is growing and all these things.
What does that do?
It reinforces that you did good.
People like this do more.
So there's a mathematical reinforcing of fringe ideologies, but more so just non-sensical
behavior.
You know, where in like the past, it would be like, you built a birdhouse.
High five, buddy.
You know?
Oh, hey, that was a tray flip, you know, down that stair set.
That's rad.
Now it's like, you got arrested.
Here's a million views.
Oh, go get arrested again.
Yeah.
How much want to bet she films another another her getting arrested again because she wants
to recreate that moment where she got so much praise and following.
She's going to put herself in positions.
She even said it.
I'm going back to go.
You know, does she say she did?
She said I'll be coming back to the city.
The police can't stop me.
So it's unsurprising, especially when you see very, very, you know, the Internet creates very, very specific channels like the hydraulic press, the red hot nickel ball.
It's somebody who did a bunch of things, found success doing their thing.
And that's normal.
That's like it's like a normal good thing.
The problem is that the Internet allows it allows you to get good at things that make no sense and don't help anybody. Yeah.
So, like, we were talking about this the other day with Mr. Beast.
Mm-hmm.
And he did, you know, he did a bunch of weird videos, Minecraft games and stuff,
and then eventually found his, you know, his thing, giving money away.
Which is pretty cool, actually.
Yeah, it's regular old reality TV. They do these things all the time. They give
out checks to publishers, clearing house. So if you find that you have success doing something
normal, like culture commentary, video
gaming, good for you. But the internet
also allows people to do really weird things, like
get arrested. And then you end up
with shock prank channels where they run around
slapping people in the face. And then
YouTube's got to ban those videos.
So I think that's what we're going to end up seeing with a lot of these young people,
but it's political. And then political
ideologues who want to weaponize that and use it for gain, encourage it. So that's what we're going to end up seeing with a lot of these young people, but it's political. And then political ideologues who want to weaponize that and use it for gain encourage it.
So that's – I don't know, just something I was thinking about even though we were going to read Super Chats and then we talked about that instead.
That's okay.
It's all good.
So we should probably actually talk about the police now that everyone's kind of chilling.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's do it.
Right here.
So here's my question to all of you.
Should we just, I don should we just abolish the police
what do you think i i don't think so no well let me let me show the story city pages minneapolis
the city council members are considering disbanding the police you heard it it's no joke
holy moly they're they're literally talking about straight up disbanding the police and they're
talking about here let me read this.
They say the city council's discussion is starting to sound a little bit more
like what groups like Reclaim the Block and Black Visions Collective have been saying for years.
On Tuesday, Fletcher published a lengthy Twitter thread saying the police department was
irredeemably beyond reform and a protection racket that slows down responses as political payback.
Several of us on the council are working on finding out what it would take to disband the Minneapolis Police Department and start fresh with a community-oriented,
nonviolent public safety and outreach capacity, he wrote.
And then they have apparently this big thread on Twitter.
It's an interesting idea that I wouldn't immediately say is the wrong idea.
Okay. Not outright. Not outright.
Not outright.
Because we talked about this the other day with Black Lives Matter
forming their own community policing.
The only problem is they straight up say they want nonviolent enforcement
or something.
I don't know what they said.
Like, you know, what is it?
Transition will take time.
Voting capacity, blah, blah, blah.
They mentioned something about removing, you know,
the force or something from police so that they're not capable of killing people. What would happen if there was no police?
What do you think? I think, man, I mean, playing Red Dead Redemption 2 pops in my head because
it feels, it is literally the Wild West wild west you know you're riding around you
could you could shoot some random person that's walking down the road and just walk off and run
off and it's like so say that happened say someone just saw you and shot you and stole your wallet
what you you want to call the the local militia it's like are they going to be trained what would
you do now i don't know exactly the cops well yeah of course i think i think maybe if we were to outright just as ban the police
maybe it doesn't make sense but they do bring up the transit a transition period and i'm thinking
about it now like let's look you know if i'm walking down the street and someone walks up to
me and shoots me when i die right i'm not'm not calling anybody. Sure. So it just doesn't matter.
Okay.
And if someone, you know, may.
What if you don't die, though?
And then I call the police.
Well, they rush in.
EMTs rush in.
Okay.
They take a report.
Case closed.
End of story.
Okay.
They're not going to find the person.
They'll take the report and they'll say, oh, well, there you go.
So, you know, when i hear from conservatives all the time
about defending your what's this what's the saying when when uh when seconds count the police are
there in minutes police are minutes away yeah when seconds count police are minutes away and so when
i hear that people are saying you gotta defend yourself then the police mostly just become kind
of a facilitator for you know legal administration in the long run okay so someone breaks in your
house you kill them the cops come they take notice and they say, okay.
And then when they confer that to the courts or whatever as witnesses
or as, you know, case or whatever, or as evidence for the case or whatever.
So then maybe there's something to having the communities
have to take care of themselves.
Like, it's interesting because we were talking about this the other day
with Black Lives Matter.
Yeah, self-accountability.
Yeah, the guy Hank Newsom said he wants to have armed patrols
that would, you know, watch their own communities.
So maybe there is a way.
I think disbanding the place is wrong.
I think that is a utopian pipe dream.
Okay.
And I think maybe there is an argument towards defunding and reforming
that involves more reliance on individual,
like it pushes for more individual responsibility
well let's talk about qualified immunity yeah so what what does that basically mean so essentially
i i believe it was like 50 years ago they passed this law that basically gave all police members
qualified immunity so essentially if it essentially blocks them from being able to get sued outside, like in a civil court,
they can't be sued.
Go ahead.
Here's what it says on ABC.
I'll read it here.
It says,
yeah.
With police misconduct in the spotlight,
the U S Supreme court on Thursday will consider whether to revisit the 50
year old doctrine of qualified immunity for law enforcement officers,
which has shielded cops from civil lawsuits,
even in cases where citizens rights have been violated. So even when, you know,ed cops from civil lawsuits, even in cases where citizens rights
have been violated.
So even when, you know, it's been a violation, they aren't able to get sued.
So so if they do look at this and get rid of this.
Actually, let me let me scroll down.
I want to read something down here.
It says cops basically act here.
It says it tells officers that they can shoot first and think about it later.
Now, that is messed up if that's the case, because that's basically what this is doing.
It's protecting them like, oh, you made a mistake.
I mean, someone died, but we got you.
You're protected.
And it's like, no, that that should not be the case.
And if they if they reevaluate this and change it, that means they're going to have to, you know, every situation like, man, if I do this wrong, my career is over.
And that's like pressing on every situation then instead of going, I'm just going to react emotionally.
Boom, I just shoot because I'm, you know, my adrenaline is rushing and whatever.
It's like they need to be trained.
They need to know that they can be held responsible
and will be held responsible.
I think that's a huge difference
between the way the police have been
and what this would mean.
Man, I'm kind of leaning towards
maybe we do need a fresh start.
You know, a fresh start sounds good.
Well, whatever that means, I'm not entirely sure.
But I've been thinking a lot about
the problem of government programs
that just keep growing and you don't solve the problem so you know my opinion has always been
like i think government programs can be helpful can be very important the only problem is that
once you create it nobody wants to let it go because people get power and why would they give
it up yeah with uh with the private sector you start blockbuster video you become the biggest
empire in video content in the world and then then the internet the internet sector, you start Blockbuster Video. You become the biggest empire in video content in the world.
And then the internet comes.
And you fail to buy Netflix.
And you're gone.
You forgot to tell everyone to smash that like button.
That's right.
Mr. Chance, no one will like our video.
No one will miss it.
Wink.
Smash?
Well, yes.
Smash the like button.
But I think about government.
And we create a program.
And we sign it to law.
And then it's there forever.
Yeah, exactly.
Whether it works or not, whether it's outdated, which a lot of them are.
This is funny.
I'm seeing this thing about disbanding the police, and it sounds absurd on its face, but I know a lot of libertarians who are like, yep, get rid of them.
The smallest possible government you can, and we will take care of ourselves. I know people who move to Mexico because they don't like the idea of police,
and they want to be able to defend themselves with their own weapons and their own security and mind their own business.
I feel like that's what would happen.
2A argument is done.
No, you mean anti-2A.
Right, right.
It's gone.
Anti-2A argument is just like, nope, mm-mm.
Especially if this is where we're headed.
It's like, okay, yeah, everyone should be armed.
Everyone should be trained.
Is it like a utopian view where we live in a world where crime disappears because everyone's armed?
I don't think that's what would happen.
No? What do you think would happen?
No, so here's what I think would happen.
I think that if the argument about the 2a actually really is
resolved if there's no more arguing about that and we everyone agrees that we should get guns
and if we start holding ourselves accountable like the guy was talking about from black lives
matter the other night then we could have small police type forces like little militias in each
community and we wouldn't have to have like a centralized police policing so it could be very
decentralized which i think is a great idea maybe you actually just need uh detectives for investigating serious crimes
yeah all right you know places like new york you'd you'd need i mean like white collar crimes
yeah but i think states have their own investigative bureaus you know what i mean
that handles that kind of stuff okay and local police i think would need administrative detectives for paperwork
involving background checks and things of that nature okay and then you have traffic you know
meter maid type duty stuff so what would the courts be for then you know because
no no i think the courts take a stronger role in that regard uh dealing with conflict between
you know uh when someone breaks in your house.
Because crime will still exist, certainly.
Right, exactly.
But, you know, I kind of feel like we can do better.
And the tactics that have been used have created this really impersonal and dangerous situation, in my opinion.
Like the fact that cops don't care about you in big cities.
The big cities are trash holes.
Yeah, the force is too big.
Absolutely.
The people, there's too many people.
Right, exactly.
So make it smaller.
But how do you, how would you do that?
This building has, you know, armed people?
No, you could go by like, almost like counties
or like even, they're called wards, I think, in New York.
I'm not familiar with New York, I'm sorry.
But I saw like a very small like district almost.
It's like maybe like a couple thousand people.
And you could have a small force that looks after those people and they would get to know at least but just like
there's different precincts right within brooklyn there's many you know and in manhattan you'd have
like different precincts of militia essentially but that's what the police basically are i know
they live there they get hired they go work in the office and you wouldn't know them there's too
many people maybe the problem is too many people stacked on top of each other in big cities that smell
like sour milk.
That's a huge.
That's what I was saying the other day.
It's like we should not be reliant on cities because living in a city forces you to be
reliant on other people.
Yeah.
You know, we should spread out.
Maybe cities are obsolete.
Yeah.
I think they are.
I'm certain.
Maybe that's the problem.
I think so.
We're all on top of each other.
People are trying to tell you how to live, but you have no choice but to live in the
spot.
We need Starlink.
Is that what it's called?
Starlink?
Starlink?
Yeah.
Elon Musk, save us.
Elon Musk, please come save us.
Once we have low latency.
Internet everywhere.
Yeah.
Broadband satellite anywhere.
Anywhere.
Yeah.
Then it's.
Then it's.
I mean, everyone connected.
We got to get rid of grass. Start making instead yeah our own food so we can actually survive
by ourselves i read on the internet that you can pick grass and then suck the juice out
and you'll slowly die but you'll die slower than starving oh yeah good to know so thanks for that
information well because i was thinking about it because i'm
like i'm sitting i'm sitting here as the world burns around me because there's like there was
a protest nearby here yeah yeah and it was it was announced i guess and uh there was rioting
in philly it was nuts they locked down they shut the bridges down and i'm like what do we have to
eat if like if everything went up i'm like i look in the backyard. I'm like, we got grass. Can humans eat grass? No. They cannot.
But you can take
a nice bit of grass
and suck on them.
And you'll get a little bit out of them.
So I guess the deer people
might have a leg up.
They might have a leg up. Oh, wow, you're right.
I'm sorry. Oh, man, that's the way to go.
The trans deer people will keel over.
Oh, not all of them are trans.
What? Well, they're transhuman. Oh, trans deer. will keel over. Not all of them are trans. What?
They're transhuman.
They're trans deer.
Yeah, transhuman.
They're trans deer, trans species.
They're otherkin, all right?
Get it right.
No, no, no, no, you're wrong.
Wait, wait.
Oh, really?
You are.
I don't care.
Otherkin are mythical creatures.
Oh, is that right?
Yes.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Somewhat, somewhat.
Sorry.
To be fair, I would say you're half wrong.
Okay.
So otherkin are people who...
I will take that.
So you'll see otherkin where they say, like, they're an elvish dragon lord whose name is,
like, Zaloris, Herald of the Winter Mist.
Nice.
Yeah.
You always come up with some killer names.
I know.
He has the greatest names.
I should be a great DM for some D&D.
You definitely would, yeah.
But, you know,
that's, you know, so the trans-species
people are like the tiger person. Yeah.
And, yeah, I mean, you know,
that's what they think. So,
those trans-deer people, if they ate grass,
they'd probably just keel over and die.
Because you can't eat grass. Right.
Because humans can't eat grass. Yeah, yeah. Anyway,
your point was... I digress.
We should not have wands, we should have many farms. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, your point was... I digress. We should not have wands.
We should have many farms.
I appreciate that.
Yes, thank you.
We should spread out more.
Humans should not be centralized in major cities.
Totally.
It creates gigantic refuse bins
where we just dump it all in the water
and then acidify the ocean.
Yep.
People got to get out of those cities.
They're doing it.
And we have these major farm operations
that are ruining the water systems.
Yep.
You know, it's not good.
We need to reevaluate all of that.
People are leaving the cities, though, right, Tim?
Yeah, they're fleeing.
Yeah.
Well, they were fleeing even before this.
Yeah.
And now there's a serious mass exodus from New York.
You know what?
That's happening in Chicago.
They don't even have a choice.
Why is that?
Because you were just showing me those images of all these people.
They're getting rid of all
those houses.
Just raising them all. Oh, man, dude.
Right? Should we jump
into that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why not? Let's talk
about that. Let's talk about the creepiness
of my childhood.
Oh, creepy childhood.
That's not what I was talking about.
Wait, we're still talking about houses, right? Ghosts.
Okay, good. No, no, the vampire.
The vampire that broke into my house.
Oh.
Wait, I don't know about that.
And the aliens showed up.
Is that why you wear this beanie?
It is.
All the time?
All the time.
All right, all right, all right.
Something to do.
Conspiracy.
I do have a crazy, like a really crazy story from when I was a kid, and there were like
ghosts in my house.
We talked about it a few months ago, like the crazy ghost stories.
The washing machine?
But no, let's talk about the horrifying racism of Chicago.
Yep.
So check out this image.
Okay, are we ready?
Yeah, just jump over to this image.
So this is Google.
And this is, where were we at?
We're at 49 West 45th Street.
And I have no disrespect for this neighborhood.
You see all these houses?
This is May 2009.
So I grew up on 49th and laramie
in on the south side of chicago near the midway airport and we were we were always basically
like forbidden from crossing over north of 47th so earlier today i was talking to i was talking
to lydia about what you know we're talking about race relations and black lives matter and stuff
and i mentioned like you know i think i talked about race relations and Black Lives Matter and stuff.
And I mentioned, like, you know, I think I talked about this briefly in the show.
I did a big Twitter thread about it.
Okay.
How 47th Street divided the races of my area.
Once you went north of 47th, it was all black.
And if you were south of that, it was mostly, like, poor white and, like, Polish immigrant.
And then if you went past Cicero to the east,
it was more Hispanic and Latino.
And if you went west, you found all the redneck, you know.
So the street I grew up on was half Chicago and half suburb called Stickney.
Okay.
It's really funny.
The street's half done.
It'd be hilarious.
Really?
Yeah, the city would only come in
and plow one half of the street.
And so we had a lot of weird racist problems.
One of which, side note,
the city apparently banned
elotes carts. You know what that is?
Is it the little ice cream?
No, it's corn.
Oh, the corn with butter on it or whatever?
Mayonnaise, parmesan,
and red pepper.
And so these little guys
are walking these carts on these little Mexican dudes.
I do love some corn.
Dude, Elotez was awesome.
And so we'd be hanging out at the park.
And the little cart would roll up.
And we'd all be like, yeah.
And we'd all run out.
And for a buck, he'd take a corn on the cob.
And he'd cut off the corn, mix in some mayo parmesan, and swirl it up.
That's amazing.
That's good.
$1?
Totally worth it.
We'd all eat it.
I would love one of those right now.
Apparently, the mayor made it illegal. What?
Saying that that specific business wasn't
allowed in this area because...
Reasons? I don't know, man.
But I'll tell you what I think it is.
I think the city wanted the segregation.
I do. Hmm.
Why? I don't know. That's me.
But they specifically said...
At least this is what I was told by locals in the community.
Okay. That's how they felt. No, when we stopped showing up, I was told by locals in the community. Okay. When they stopped showing up.
That's how they felt.
No, when we stopped showing up, I was told specifically by like one of the adults like,
oh yeah, the mayor said, you know, those street vendors can't come to this area anymore.
Oh, that's messed up.
But they were okay.
If you cross this road, they're there.
And we're like, what?
What?
Why?
But we liked it.
We liked it.
And then it got replaced by ice cream trucks.
So I guess we went from eating corn to eating ice cream.
But hey, that's a different story.
No, no. Check it out. This this is crazy i didn't know this happened i left i left this area when i was like 18 years old and what year was that 2004 2004 2004 so yeah
so around that time actually they were doing they were clearing the north side of chicago
of all low-income housing and pushing all those people to the south side basically into these neighborhoods
around that let me let me tell you what happened i'm talking to lydia okay i'm like check out this
neighborhood and i'm gonna be honest with you i have never gone i've gone on this neighborhood
one time when i was with some friends yeah because we had been told you can't and i mentioned this
in the show before because the police will stop you.
What are you doing here?
You must be wanting to buy drugs.
You can't do that.
And they might even, like, I was told if you walk through the neighborhood, you'll either get into a conflict, you know, in a manner of speaking with the locals who are like, what are you doing?
Or you'll end up with the police being like, yo, get out.
And I had a friend who was female who walked over,
and there was an older black man saying,
honey, turn around.
You can't come in here.
Dang.
And he wasn't telling her she had to leave.
He was saying, don't.
For your own protection.
For your own protection.
Like, you don't want to come in.
Yeah.
So this is an area they call LeClaire Courts.
Okay.
Take a look at this image.
This is just one image.
And so I was doing Google Maps from last year, and it was the weirdest thing. And I'm looking, a Google, Google, like, you know, Google Maps from from last year.
And it was the weirdest thing.
And I'm looking, I'm like, this doesn't look at all like what I remember.
Yeah.
And so Lydia said, why don't you go back in time?
And so I went back to 2009 and I was like, oh, there it is.
There it is.
Yeah.
Wait till you guys let me show you what for those for those that are watching.
You ready for this?
Let's jump.
Let's jump to 2009.
They raised everything. Ten years later years later wow it's just a big
everything of grass is gone this this this really blew my mind it's where they where did all those
people go all those houses are gone look at this let me jump back in time again houses look at this
sidewalks houses power lines yeah power lines, wow. And then you come back today.
The sidewalk is still there.
Open, empty fields.
Yeah.
The sidewalks from the houses used to be still there.
Look at the street cones,
just where this alley was between these houses.
Wow.
I didn't know.
I didn't know they did this.
This is the area where I grew up,
and they were like,
this place is, you know,
it's low-income housing.
There's a lot of crime and gang activity.
Chicago's pretty strongly Democrat, isn't it? It is. It's been Democrat to-income housing there's a lot of crime and gang activity chicago's pretty uh strongly democrat isn't it it's it's been democrats for majority it's like democrat
this is conventions utopia yeah utopia this is what i think i you know that's what i've been
talking about with people i have no perspective on republicans growing up in chicago none whatsoever
because for us we didn't care about national level politics. We cared about, can we get our skate park built?
Right.
And you had the Democrats controlling literally everything.
And so for me, the knife in the back always came from Democrats.
Not that I agreed with Republican policy.
Right.
I was, you know, young lefty.
And the Democrats were the ones who screwed everything up, held us back.
And they do policies like this now look to
be fair i don't know what they do with these people yeah but it's it's man look at this empty
field this is crazy where's the plumbing what are they doing where's the plumbing where's the power
lines yeah i i don't even care about any of that where'd they put the people right because when
they did that to the north side of chicago and they pushed everyone south there were gang wars
chicago became the deadliest city in america for a little while i don't remember which years it Because when they did that to the north side of Chicago and they pushed everyone south, there were gang wars.
Chicago became the deadliest city in America for a little while.
I don't remember which years it was, but it was after they did all that.
And it got so bad that the city told hospitals in Chicago they're not allowed to accept gunshot wounds.
So if you got shot in the south side of Chicago, you had to go to any hospital outside of the city limits which would take sometimes an hour there was a kid who got was like a seven-year-old kid got hit by just
a random stray bullet are you serious and they they went to the hospital and they're like yeah
but it was you know it's a kid they got shot it was a side the hospital was like sorry we can't
we can't do it wow you gotta you gotta leave. And they had to drive like an hour to the, I don't remember what the next hospital up.
It's insane.
I'm over cities.
Me too.
I'm over cities, man.
Yeah.
And I think, you know, so for those that, we do these separate segments.
For those that are just tuning in, we were talking earlier about how they do, you know,
there's discussions in Minneapolis of disbanding the police outright.
And we were saying that we think that the real issue is the cities have become unlivable
isn't that why world war one happened is because they were all trying to consolidate power and buy
up all the land around europe and push everyone into cities is that what it was i'm not exactly
sure on this i don't know enough i have i think i've had a few conversations with a buddy of mine's actually writing a screenplay about world war france
the whole lead up about what happened and what led to world war one so and i know there was a
lot of that going on and all i can think is that anyone who lives in a city is under someone else's
boot yeah and we need to get out from under other people's boots it's not a race issue it's
a class issue being stuck in someone else's under someone else's boot you have to pay to live
anywhere you can't own property in a city unless you've got millions of dollars who's got who's
got millions of dollars just like buy their their house and at any time they might just tell you to
move we're gonna raise your whole they want you they want you renting they want you buying food at their the grocery stores around there you know living basically on whatever they they want it's like
this is the sign right here what does it say that private property seriously yeah it's not even a
park whose property it's not even a park what is it yeah what is it then let's go back in time
ready for this boom oh yeah this is what i remember yeah and we were told that there's a lot of gang activity
and you can't go in there
well this looks exactly like the place
that
I was with
I was actually in kind of a gang
when I was living in Chicago
I'm dead serious I'm not joking around
kind of
okay yes I was
and it was
a place like this that we got shot at and it was it was
crazy it was an intense one of the more intense nights of my life and uh kidding yeah it's like
you know it's like it's not these people's it I wasn't blaming any of these people that lived in
these places it's the people that put them there they forced their hand and now they probably did
it again y'all have to leave we're raising this we're gonna put a show it again a big future
grass field a big private property where what are they what are they planning
it doesn't it doesn't make any sense maybe you know i think it's fair to say though there is a
possibility that low-income public housing was a bad idea. Yeah, maybe.
So I did a documentary on Ferguson where we talked about Pruitt-Igoe.
It was one of the first public housing projects in history.
And the idea was you have all these poor people.
You give them a place to live.
You can deal with homelessness, and you can maybe help them get on a better footing, raise their kids, get their kids better off.
The problem was Pruitt-Igoe fell into disrepair, and it became a skyscraper slum.
And then it was just awful, just trash.
And so they want to do good, but I think the problem is there's more to teaching a man to fish
than just giving them a fishing rod and walking away.
Yeah.
And that's one of the biggest challenges that it seems like, you know, what I refer to these Chinese finger trap problems where it seems like, you know, you got to pull your fingers out, but it makes it worse.
Yeah.
And you might have to do something counterintuitive.
And maybe, you know, the first thing I'll say is we clearly didn't have the answers.
No.
You know, I'll tell you, there's going to be people from here who are going to say the city was evil for doing all this.
And there are going to be people who say the city was evil for starting it in the first place.
And a big problem is there's too many people that think they know the answer.
And their answer is the correct answer.
And that's never right because there's too many different people out there for one person to be like, this is the way it should be.
This is the answer.
It's never the answer.
But maybe there is.
We got to get out of the cities.
Yeah, I agree.
New York.
New York is seeing a mass exodus right now because of everything.
Good.
Man, think about what it must be like.
You know, there was a New York Times story published today about a jewelry shop in Manhattan
that's just been ransacked completely.
Yeah.
And they actually
interviewed the person saying, like, people are protesting
in front of my store, but I can't even open the door.
How does that make sense?
A thousand people walk
past my building. I couldn't hand them something.
That's the law.
These cities are broken.
Completely broken. Maybe we're looking at
a net positive in the long term.
I mean, I hope we don't end up know escalation of force where we get death and stuff
but if covet and these riots result in people just fleeing cities maybe it's a good thing get
them out into the world get them more responsible you know what man it's it's it's a utopian world
view but how great would it be if people had mini farms i love that you have you grow your own food
in the back.
Meat and stuff and other products have to be done in bigger scale.
You go to the store to buy.
But for the most part, you've got veggies and fruits and maybe even your own chickens.
Yeah, of course.
But then I guess the challenge is the roosters all over the community screaming.
You get used to them.
I like roosters, man.
If you live far from your neighbors.
They were a little annoying.
No, the goat was annoying.
The goat was, especially for me, because I was on that side of the annoying no the goat was annoying the goat was especially for
me because i was on that side of the house where the goat was like right there i named i named him
kurt kurt kurt for those wondering we lived yeah we lived in miami for a while and we we were
outside yeah we were we were basically two farms away from the everglade line yeah like you go two
farms over and that was the everglades so. So we were out in the boonies,
but everybody had roosters all around us.
You'd wake up in the morning
and you'd hear them all over the place.
And they scream at night too, don't they?
But there was one thing that was pretty consistent.
Kurt.
This is a message for Kurt the goat.
No.
If I wasn't vegan.
No, I'm just kidding Kurt's alright
no you're cool
no no you know what
I know why he was upset
that the
they separated him
from his lover
from his lady goat
from his lady goat
so I mean
I feel for you Kurt
I feel for you
yeah so
so we had a
we had a rooster
that Adam named Norin
oh man
Norin
I named him Norin
there's a magic
there's a magic the gathering called card called Norin the Wary.
Yep.
And the theme of the card is he's terrified and useless.
So we had this rooster.
He runs away at the sign of anything.
Did nothing to protect the chickens when the cat kept getting in.
And then would just flee the yard and go into the other yard where the other roosters would beat the crap out of him.
Yep.
It's true.
That rooster, man.
We thought he was like we thought he was a mentally mentally deficient mentally deficient yeah that poor rooster nor in the way probably still alive
though we ended up you know what was the the chickens names zagana and uh i don't know you
named him nora no no that was the bunny i don't remember the other zagana was that was the bunny. I don't remember the other chicken. Sagana. That was one of the chickens. That was one of them, though. Yeah.
All magic related.
Anyway, anyway.
We're getting sidetracked.
I think about people who live in the cities, and it's always sounded insane.
Like Vice, for instance, was notorious for underpaying people.
When I started working there, this was...
2011?
2013.
2013, okay.
There were people there making $27K a year and living in Williamsburg. 2013, okay. There were people there making 27k a year
and living in Williamsburg.
Oh my gosh.
How?
I don't know.
Spending it all?
Spending all of it on rent?
Yep.
Seriously?
That's not enough.
I'm serious.
And I remember
there was one person
who literally rented
like an apartment
right next to the Vice building.
Like literally
you walk out the door
and you walk in
and-
Whoa.
Right near the water there? No, no, no. Other direction. Oh, okay, okay. But literally the building next to the vice building. Like literally you walk out the door and you walk in. Whoa. Right near the water there?
No, no, no.
Other direction.
Oh, okay, okay.
But literally the building next to vice's building.
And I'm like, this has got to be like for this room, $1,500.
Yeah.
I'm like, how much do you make?
Like $30 something.
I'm like, are you spending like 70% of your take-home income on rent just to live here?
Do you steal food or what's going on?
Yeah, they dumpster dive.
Oh, my gosh. Now, the rich vice people were like, I have the penthouse down the street. And I'm like, well, yeah. home income on rent just to live here yeah yeah what's going on yeah they dumpster dive oh my god
now the rich vice people were like i have the penthouse down the street and i'm like yeah but
you make hundreds of thousands of dollars yeah yeah these people were so desperate to live there
that they had no savings and i tell you what man because i told the story before about you know
people saying like i want to do what you do man i want to travel around covering news yeah and i'd
be like okay stop spending 1500 bucks a
month on rent yeah go go crash in your buddy's couch for a couple hundred bucks and you know
the funniest thing is what this is hilarious i'm talking to some like young intern who's spending
a thousand bucks a month and they're like i want to do what you do and i say okay here's my advice
all that money you're getting you got to save it all right so you got to save so you got to find
some friends you got to live you got to sacrifice and they're like uh-huh and you lost me yeah no no no it gets better and they're like but i like
my apartment right and i'm like bro you're asking me for advice while i sleep on my friend's couch
right now i was i i had a friend in williamsburg i paid him you know like 300 bucks to sleep on
his couch in his living room you know why i made more money they did at Vice, but I put it all in the bank.
And I'm like, I don't need a bedroom, man.
I need to get the job done
and I need to save every penny
because you never know.
You never know when that storm's coming
and you never know when opportunity comes a knocking.
And I'll tell you this,
one day you'll be sitting there
and it's like,
you know what it reminds me of actually?
You ever see that commercial for the peanut butter
or for milk where the guy,
it's his old commercial and he puts all the peanut butter on the bread and then he bites it and then the
phone rings and it's the radio station saying who killed alexander alexander hamilton in that famous
duel and he's in a room where he's surrounded by all of this aaron burr memorabilia and he's got
peanut butter in his mouth and he goes and they're like i'm sorry sir we can't hear you
better luck next time and then he's like he's like pour I'm sorry, sir. We can't hear you. Better luck next time.
And then he's like, he's like, pour the milk so I can answer it.
But there's no milk left.
I've never seen that.
Okay.
So here's the point.
Here's the point.
But you painted a wonderful picture.
Wonderful picture.
Thank you.
That milk.
If he had just had the milk, the opportunity came a knocking.
He didn't have it.
I mean, wouldn't water have worked?
Well, I don't know.
It's a real commercial, dude.
I'm just asking.
He's sitting at a table
and he's got a thing of milk
and he's mouthful of peanut butter
and he tries to pour it
and nothing comes out
and he goes,
he's like in the room
and everything's around.
It's funny
because he's got like a painting of it
and there's like the bullet
in a glass case.
It's obviously his thing.
Is this his house?
It was a Got Milk commercial.
I don't know.
I see.
Whatever, man.
Obsessive much?
The point is, the point is, the point is, these people sacrifice all the wrong things.
Yeah, yeah.
And then finally one day, opportunity comes to their door and says, would you like to
fly with me to Ferguson?
There's a huge store and I need your help.
We're on our own though.
And they go, I have no money.
Maybe if you didn't spend it on the booze from that party last night and on this expensive
apartment when i came asking for your help you were there to come or not not so much that but
like so much of the trips that i i had done before i started working for vice i paid for everything
on my own i saved everything i could when i when i would get donations or whatever and that was
the opportunity so so so long story short we'll wrap it wrap it wrap it back up to the original
point yeah
cities are too expensive they're too expensive and not only that are they too expensive i think
the most pressing thing is you you're paying to live you're paying someone else to live
that's that's what it is well it's and if you stay there and you live there and your family
lives there it's like you're i don't care what race you are it's if you live in a city you're
paying someone else and you're raising a family and paying another person to raise a family you're
not able to give them that house right you you talked about it it's about generational wealth
can't exist in a city unless you for most people know unless you become a building owner or have a building pass to you.
But it's hard to get up like that if you're stuck in city paying someone else.
So moving out of the cities.
Where are the pioneers at?
Let's get rid of the cities.
There was a movie recommendation on Hulu called Almost Heroes.
It's awful.
It's a Chris Farley movie and Matthew Perry.
I've never seen it before. Never seen it. It's a Chris Farley movie and Matthew Perry. Okay. And I've never seen it before.
Never seen it.
But apparently it's like during Lewis and Clark's.
I like Chris Farley a lot.
Yeah, but it was not.
I turned it off.
Really?
Yeah.
It was a 90s movie or something.
Anyway, the point was it was about Matthew Perry, this, you know, East Coast colonial
era dude.
And he was like, I'm going to chart a route to the Pacific.
And I'm sitting there thinking about it and like, man, do we have anybody who does that?
Like most people just want the easy way out.
Everything was done for you.
But that's how it's been.
You know what's messed up, man?
We're in that place that you just pay to go get food.
You walk to the store, you pay for a burger.
You walk to any store and you pay to get whatever you need.
In a city, it's all available to you.
And not just that.
But you're making all the other people money.
And a lot of these people in New York, the money is coming from them writing articles about Brad Pitt's junk.
Right.
So they're like, 17 times Brad Pitt's junk was cut on camera.
And it's like, you're getting paid 50 grand a year to do that.
So they value nothing.
Right.
Where's the purpose in that?
I just, it eyeballs attention economy man yeah so you know i i thought about in the past like
what drove someone to want to leave european you know uh countries to spend months on a boat where
you you might die and a lot of people didn't make it across the ocean it's true and then when you
finally did you landed on a rock and they're like, well, there's
all the nothing.
It's all you.
It's just like jumped out screaming and ran across the continent.
That's amazing.
So like, man, could you imagine that?
You're like, you got off the boat with your family.
You're just, you know, first of all, the boats didn't come to shore.
You come, you get, they go to the little boats and then they row you to shore.
And then you're, then you climb out onto the sand and you're like, is it and your family's like this is it like this is where you brought us yep
start cutting down that tree thanks dad i'm sure there's something i'm missing about it but there
were like the you know i'm sure once the first few pioneers came the first thing they did was
like start building you know a dock and building temporary housing and shelters and things like
that and companies were involved.
I'm sure... I don't know
a lot about it, but I'm willing to bet the first
thing that happened wasn't families coming.
It was workers and crews thinking about...
Fur traders was pretty big back then.
Because then they send stuff back. And thinking about
what we would do for terraforming Mars.
We're not going to send a bunch of families
with kids to go and just live on Mars.
No, we're sending scientists and engineers.
No, but at the same time,
they are trying to send family.
Not with kids, though, but, I mean,
the two astronauts that just flew,
they're married to astronauts that also
flew and have both been stationed
in the space station.
So, I mean, technically, yes.
They want families to go out there
so that it's less traumatic, you know, for them.
Yeah, that's a good point.
So maybe it was specialized families.
Specialized families, yeah.
Kids a certain age.
But regardless of any of that, could you imagine just someone being like, get in this plane.
We're going to drop you off in the middle of the woods, and then it's all you.
Isn't that basically all these shows that are you know reality get
dropped oh man serve how long can you survive have you seen the really get in afraid i can't i can't
think of any others have you seen the viral offensive one where they put all the men on
one island and all the women on the other island no yeah yeah yeah yeah and so all the women okay
so so man it is they had to have done this on purpose. Oh, man.
But some people think it wasn't on purpose.
Like, that's just what happens when women are left alone.
All right.
So the women get lost.
Okay.
They struggle.
They cry.
They break down and they beg to leave.
They start fighting with each other.
Yeah.
They start gossiping about each other.
Mm-hmm.
Have clean water, shelter.
Band together.
Band together.
Build everything.
Fire.
And then the women started demanding
they get access to you know stuff that men had built and stuff like that and you know what is
that smile hold on go ahead you obviously have an opinion i thought it was hilarious that women
ended up doing that okay i worked in nursing and i loved most of my co-workers but they did like to
gossip and gossiping was a serious problem.
And they talk about nurses eating their young.
And I'm like, yeah.
Is it nurses or just women in general?
It is nurses, specifically the field of nursing.
98% female.
Nurses eat their young.
You get a new nurse on the floor.
You're in the ICU.
She gets no help.
Who cares if her patient dies?
Wow.
This really bothers me. That's rough.
Okay.
This really bothers me because it's not about showing this new nurse what's what it's about taking care of the patient
okay so there's proof that's not proof that not all well yes but i i'm also saying that's lydia's
proof that not all women are like that so yeah yeah yeah i just thought it was funny that they
all got on the island yeah i once. I once read a story about chickens.
Oh.
Did you know that there's... You know what a super chicken is?
No, I'm very interested, though.
No, I don't.
Do they just, like, shoot out eggs?
No, no, no, no, no.
No?
Golden eggs.
So chickens have a pecking order.
Yes.
Okay.
And there's, like, one chicken dominates and tells all the other chickens, like, I'm Big
Mom.
You know what I mean?
I'm the super chicken.
No, well, it's the females.
That's the voice that somehow I represent.
No, no, it's sassier than that.
It's much sassier.
I'm in charge.
I'm the super chicken.
You listen to me.
That sounds like a Karen chicken.
Exactly.
Exactly.
That's who they are.
Hold on, hold on.
So I read the story.
No, no, no.
You were saying that they actually had hierarchy
and were actually the ones in charge.
That's not a Karen.
Super chickens.
Okay, they are the managers. Yeah. Oh, yeah. actually had hierarchy and were actually the ones in charge that's not a karen super chickens okay
they are the managers yeah all right oh yeah so anyway but i read the story and and and this is
going to be proof about what she was saying because you know chickens and uh they so they
they took a bunch of different groups of chickens okay and they took each of the super chicken from
each you know like chicken group yeah and they tried they wanted to see what would happen if
they took all of the dominating hens yeah and put them together and do you know, like, chicken group. Yeah. And they tried, they wanted to see what would happen if they took all of the dominating
hens and put them together.
And do you know what they did when they took all of the super, they took, you know, so
it's like 12 chickens per group or whatever.
Okay.
And they took the dominant one from each group and then put them all in one group.
And you know what happened?
Did they kill each other?
They pecked each other to death.
Called it.
Murder.
Yep.
Wow.
Just corpses everywhere.
That's awful.
Was there, like, one just with one, one just with one leg up on the rest?
That's right. I'm the winner.
Legend has it that as the
scientists and researchers were walking away, they faintly heard,
there can be only one.
There can be only one.
Elder chicken highlighter. Elder chicken.
But that's,
I actually read that story,
that they wanted to experiment
to see what happened
to a pecking order
if they took all of the super chickens
and put them together
and they just killed each other.
Wow.
So I'm kidding about that
being evidence, you know,
for men and women.
Oh, and you know what?
We have proof
that chickens eat their young
because they straight up
ate their own eggs.
Yeah, they do.
Well, that's a problem, actually.
I was reading about that. Oh, really?
No, it's a habit because chickens
are really dumb. Oh, yeah. Like, chickens will eat chicken.
Like, they'll eat chicken. Totally different, but...
No, yeah. I was reading, like,
they can get a taste for egg and it's
too late and they just keep breaking their eggs because they're really dumb.
Yep. Yeah, chickens are not smart.
You know, and then eat grass, too.
I like chickens. I look forward to getting some farm
animals and getting a nice property. But, man, they did craters in the yard they do yeah yeah like they started stripping the
lawn over time just spreading out everything was getting purged and i'm like the grass doesn't
grow fast enough for these critters man and we didn't have that many we had a lot of grass though
on that property oh yeah it was acreage it's huge several acres five five plus or something like
that not the biggest, but big enough.
But how did we end up talking about chickens?
I'm not sure.
You know what?
I don't complain when we're having a good time.
I don't question these things.
That's true.
I'm okay with this.
Someone in the chat says, Tim is high AF.
What? No.
Never.
Literally never high.
Yeah, you know what?
That's funny, but someone says that almost every day.
I know.
Every single episode I see it, I'm like, where are they getting that?
I remember.
I'm like the most clean cut person I know.
Seriously, I don't know.
You don't drink.
You don't do anything.
Super straight edge.
I don't even like taking allergy medicine.
Yeah.
Right.
When I was hanging out with my friends on the south side of Chicago, like conveniently
in these same places, not too far, we'd talk about crazy stuff, quantum physics, time dilation,
all this weird stuff.
And then they'd always be like, dude, are you stoned? I'd be like, no. You don't need to be stoned to talk about that stuff. physics time dilation all this weird stuff and then they'd always be like dude are you stoned i'd be like no you don't need to be no this stuff
is just awesome are you gonna tell me that you're only interested in science in the universe when
you're on that's kind of sad it's like smoking pot shouldn't you always be interested yes yes
the answer is yes i think i very much am right interested in science i felt like i needed to
finish the sentence there
someone someone in the chat said use chicken at chickens as tillers oh that's a good idea it works
yeah they shred they shred it yeah they do chickens are awesome but they eat all the earthworms i need
those things oh really for what well you just don't let them get into the garden yeah oh yeah
keep the garden separate we were talking about this because we were talking about the island with women and
the island with men. Yeah, and opportunity and pioneers.
You mentioned... Thank you.
We traced it back. Yeah, there it is.
Tie it all back together.
Hold on, before we move on, we have a lot
of earthworms in our backyard. Yes, we have many.
Just in case you were curious. I love them, they're wonderful.
Oh, side note.
Yeah, okay.
We can continue.
Well, I think we...
Updated everyone on our earthworm status.
I think we've just about...
I think we did it.
I'm having a great time.
We should go to Super Chats, man.
But we have done it.
Yes, okay, we are going to Super Chats.
Remember when we were like, let's do Super Chats first, and then we didn't?
Yep, nope.
We got one Super Chat down. Oh my goodness.
Wait, what just happened? Did it reset?
It says zero.
It happens. Oh, okay.
Yeah, YouTube is broken, man.
So they fixed YouTube.
We can see the concurrent views again, and I don't even know
what's going on. Which is cool. What I can tell
is that y'all aren't smashing that like button
enough. What up, people?
Smash that like button! Yeah, but let's? Yeah, come on. Smash that like button.
Yeah.
But let's get into the super chats.
I want that on a t-shirt.
Just smash that like button.
Yeah, but that's just like a YouTuber joke.
That means any YouTuber would be like, this is a good shirt.
That's a good point.
Oh.
We should make every, everyone should wear the shirts.
Smash the like button.
Smash that like button.
Yeah.
Yep.
All right, let's read some of these.
You coined the phrase.
No, I didn't oh no
no i absolutely did not i was making fun of other youtubers yeah there was a i know you were making
fun of them but yeah yeah i don't know i never i never heard someone say smash the like button
it started getting really weird on youtube where somebody like would be like yo make sure you hit
that like button man we're gonna try and get this up to 10 000 likes once we do that man it's gonna
be big and then people started increasing the number to ridiculous proportions.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the videos are getting crazier where like I remember seeing one where this guy walks.
He's like a YouTuber, a big YouTuber, a million subs.
And his video started.
He was dead serious.
He was like, yo, man, we're going to get crazy tonight.
Before we do.
And like the screen zooms in and starts like pulsating blue.
And it's like spinning and shaking.
And like numbers are going up. I'm like, wow blue and it's like smash that light one and it's like spinning and shaking and like numbers are going up i'm like wow this dude's oh my god and he had he had like 100,000
likes it was ridiculous because it's entertaining yeah all right all right couple things we got to
spin the ufo we do okay yes we do the chat demands i will gladly thank you good sir yes and someone
has solved the mystery of why tim looks high they said it is because of the lighting in here what
about it i don't know but apparently it makes you lighting in here. What about it? I don't know.
But apparently it makes you look a little bit
spacey. Don't forget
too, for those that are hanging out,
after the show, so in about an
hour, I'm going to be joining Stephen
Crowder over on Louder with Crowder.
And I'll probably just complain about stuff like I
normally do. You're going to get loud with Crowder?
I'm going to get loud with Crowder. That's cool.
We're going to read your super chats. Yes, we are.
Let's see. Michael J. Oria says, Adam,
you make me laugh hard sometimes. Thanks, man.
Alright. That's awesome. Ah, it's good old
I.B. Ripenham. Tim, Adam, Lydia,
please consider uploading to my new service
at Fart Shoot. You can speak
freely on both ends, out of both ends
without fear of censoring.
There you go. Nice.
Cloud G says,
I want your beanie.
I don't know what's going on
with, you know,
I'm talking to some of the people
at Teespring.
Yeah.
Yeah.
These things are hard, man.
It's the lockdown.
Yeah, it's the lockdown.
Yeah.
And the thousands of people
marching in the street
don't matter, I guess.
Graf Von Tiro,
thanks for the super chat.
Carlos Cruz says,
What if the riots
were orchestrated by the feds?
People fear riots and beg for state intervention.
Furthermore, adequate destruction could provide jobs for many in rebuilding phase.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
It is a good point.
All these out-of-work people are going to get hired in construction companies.
Clean up and, yeah.
Time to learn a trade.
There you go.
We did read this one earlier, Yavo, with the $69 Super Chat in honor of episode 69.
Thank you, my friend.
Totally worth reading again, though.
Definitely.
Edward says, you should move to Texas, homie.
You know, maybe.
Maybe.
Fearless Soldier says, episode nice.
Glad to see how far you guys have come.
Appreciate it.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
FabFabby says, I read today that two of the four cops involved with Mr. Floyd had only been on the job for four days.
Oh, man.
You know that's true?
And if it is, do you think the level of charges against them is fair?
If it is true, then no way.
That is not fair, no.
I didn't think it was fair on its own.
Just because they're inept morons, they should get some kind of penalty.
Incompetent penalty.
Especially if they're new.
They don't, they're like, hey, you should let off him.
They're going to defer to someone who's really gray area right there yeah chris says i bet he bought a t-shirt
let's see john sislowski says walther pistol from crowder would be sweet you know i was thinking is
that a a bet for what you're gonna get yeah well i'm assuming so for those that weren't here in
early on apparently crowder has a surprise for me and know, I didn't think it would be a gun because
you can't we can do you can't send it to me. I'm in New Jersey. New Jersey sucks. He's going to
drive here and personally hand it to you. No, you can't. Well, then he I don't know. Yeah,
I don't know how it would work. I don't know what he's going to do. I don't know what he's going to
do. But, you know, I was basically I was talking to them earlier because they were like, hey, would you want to come on?
And I'm like, I got to say, man, like the anti-2A arguments have evaporated overnight.
The reason that people were able to even have those arguments is because the world was safe.
Yep.
And I think people – like when we lived out in Miami, we got a glimpse of it.
Yeah, it's true.
And now that everything has gone to complete chaos like i i can't even weigh the
potential risks because i have to consider my own safety now yep and so i was like i'm i'm over it
i'm i'm two-way all the way man just i think people need to protect themselves it's at that
point where you know when when that liberal guy in new york called the cops and they said our
city's under attack you're on your own do what you got to do that was like wow yeah and you're
not allowed to have a gun in a city yep cities are
awful man yeah who wants to be in a city anymore i mean you are but they're like ridiculous laws
man it's even it's hard enough in new jersey and we're not even in a city let's see russell
thanks for the super chat just how's it going hank williams says why don't uh why don't you
still do on the ground reporting with these riots and other things like you used to with
used to do with Vice?
Because I was becoming too recognizable, and I started getting targeted and singled out.
So now we have scnr.com, and they do that.
So it's still happening.
But it's also a common track for a lot of field reporters who eventually get into commentary and anchorage kind of stuff.
And if he was on the ground, he couldn't be giving you the Tim Pool videos every day.
That's right.
Super Chicken Talk.
Super Chicken Talk.
Hey, man, hard-hitting news.
How would you find out about the Super Chicken?
I had never heard of that.
Hank, let's see.
Soup Music says,
Hey, Tim, I live in South Jersey, and I challenge you to a 1v1 on Smash Ultimate.
Winner gets the other Wawa.
Also, I sent you a DM on Instagram of your second channel
being considered child content.
Wait, what? That's weird.
I'll check it out.
I'm not that good at Smash. No way.
Diego Morella says,
Tim Team, what does being an American mean to you?
Oh.
What does being an American mean to you?
Freedom. Freedom!
That's the first thing that comes to mind it means america america yeah
i remember uh i started traveling around to a lot of different countries you know for vice and stuff
almost 10 years ago yeah and i remember coming back and seeing the border guards and being like
yeah america and you really get perspective when you go to the slums of these foreign countries
when you see the police brutality and the unjust laws of a lot of these places and why they're in disarray.
And then you see how nice and comfortable America is.
And I remember just like walking back up to the border agent and he was like, you know, where were you?
And I can't remember, it was like Morocco or something.
And he was like, how was it?
And I'm like, man, I am glad to be back in this country.
I'll tell you what, America's awesome.
And he laughed.
He gave a chuckle And it's funny.
I'm like, dude, what it means to be an American is you want to talk about the word privilege?
Let's talk about American privilege.
Compared to these other countries, we got clean running water.
We got beautiful skies.
Well, clean is a loose term in some places.
I mean, not everywhere.
Comparatively, though, to most countries.
I'm talking about countries.
Some people don't have water.
At all.
Where you get typhus when you drink the water.
They don't even.
And they have to travel to go get it.
To get any water at all.
Yeah.
You know, I went to South Africa and I stayed in Cape Town for nine days.
And we took my group.
We left the town.
We had to go to this.
I don't know.
We had to drive for like an hour.
Right.
And right outside the town.
Boom.
You see like I would. I don't want. It's more like fa an hour right and right outside the town boom you see
like I would I don't want it's more like favelas you know or favelas yeah and shanty towns yeah
like shanty towns and it's like I'm looking I'm like man do they even have water and my the driver
was like no they don't have water yep I'm like where do they get water and then he was like and
look there and it was like you could kind of see in the center of it all. And there was a huge, huge place.
In the center, there was like one well.
And there was a line of people.
Oh, my goodness.
So it's like you had to like wait to get water.
Like that's to shower, to cook, to drink.
It's like, man.
How lucky are we?
And it's probably dirty.
You know, who knows?
Dude, you can go out into the middle of nowhere.
I remember when I was driving across the country a couple years ago.
And we drove through
back roads found a hotel clean running water yeah not have to worry about parasites or diseases or
anything yeah america is privileged but yeah you got to defend it that's that's that's the thing
otherwise we could end up like some of these really awful places and i think that's where
we're heading yeah there's you know i fear when i see everything in the media and on twitter especially
the escalation is is it's unimaginable like the things i'm seeing that the journalists calling
for the new york times to take down an opinion piece from a senator youtube banning the c-span
video of a senator if if we have sent if we have big tech removing our politicians own speech
because they consider it offensive or something, it's literally our politicians.
Yeah.
Wow, man.
Shouldn't the American people get an op-ed from a politician who's saying send in the military?
Yep.
Shouldn't we know they're planning on doing this?
Yeah.
The New York Times doesn't want to do it now because –
Feelings.
I mentioned this the other day, but we were talking about it a little bit.
It reminds me of when I saw the peace wall in Northern Ireland
and how both sides just are opposed to each other no matter what it is.
Like one side had a mural that was pro-Palestine,
so the other side had a pro-Israel.
And it's like, what does that have to do with Northern Ireland?
Hey, maybe it does, man.
I have no idea.
But I was told by locals that it's basically like the left versus the right.
You know, whenever one side adopts one thing,
the other side just hates it immediately and takes the other because it's like, man, it's basically like the left versus the right. You know, whenever one side adopts one thing, the other side just hates it immediately and takes the other
because it's like, man, it's just tribes.
That's where we're headed.
I mean, we're there. We're there.
Here's a huge super chat.
I want to just read it.
I saw it go by.
Gatlin Mader says,
Just curious, when do you think you might set up a more official news network
and how would you ensure some positive journalistic integrity?
Love the show. Recently started watching. I would say your tone does sound a little different from videos released
in 2018 any thoughts now i guess you drop a scnr scnr because they're that's what it is they're
currently out reporting and doing stuff and so it is it is officially running but that is video
production and field reporting okay for the writing stuff that'll be an entirely separate
outlet different website different everything and the reason for it is that's going to involve more of me.
SCNR is independent for me for specific reasons.
They're doing field reporting and sourcing on the ground with sources.
And so we don't want anyone to ever be able to claim that there was some kind of interference.
Tim Pool's got his political opinions and stuff.
Nope, they do their thing.
And they're just
mostly edgy street journalist
type people. It looks good.
The next thing that's coming is
I've been in the process of trying to find a building for a long time.
But once we do, that's
going to involve me with
a much more direct, like, here are the stories
I'm looking at. What are you looking at?
Fact check these. Let's get them definitive, like, confirmed. So one of the things that I'd love to do is much more direct like here are the stories i'm looking at what are you looking at fact check
these you know let's get them definitive like like confirmed so one of the things that i'd love to do
is when all these brick palettes started appearing actually assign somebody like start calling local
companies start calling these housing units and figure out what these are yeah yeah and and so
the associated press did that and they've confirmed at least two of them were legit
one we're supposed to be there yeah yeah yeah but only only two of them were legit. Like, we're supposed to be there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But only two of them.
The other ones haven't been.
And so, for the most part,
people are saying they think it's debunked.
We do know Antifa was giving out bricks.
Yeah.
Whether or not they were stacking them.
So, but I'd love to actually have
some hard confirmation on a lot of these stories.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's going to be a fact-checking
and news aggregation thing.
Cool.
Yeah.
Right on.
Yes, sir.
All right.
Let's see.
Deplorable pirate Captain Gunbeard says, how fast do you think Antifa activists are going
to roll on their comrades when they get threatened with the Patriot Act?
Two seconds.
Pretty quickly.
Not even two seconds.
It's going to be like the cops are going to walk up to the door, knock on the door, and
they're going to answer it.
Like, my friend's name is Jim.
He's the one who organized it.
He gave me $100.
He lives at, you know, lives at 1348 West North Avenue.
And they're going to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy.
Calm down, calm down. Let me write that down.
Slow down, slow down.
Good information, though.
Let's see.
Brian M. says, Crowder Surprise is 100%
a Maga Beanie.
How many do I have?
Seven of them now.
We almost have a rainbow of them now. I have like, how many do I have? Like seven of them now? We have multiple. I'm not going to wear it.
We almost have a rainbow of them now.
I don't think Crowder would give them that.
No, and I think things are getting really scary with the escalation.
We had like three retired generals come out condemning Trump and saying all this crazy stuff.
It's like, dude.
They're trying to divide us all.
No, I think they're trying to, like the big guns are coming out.
The election is soon.
And I kept saying, man, you think it's bad now?
Wait until we get closer to the election.
Yep, he did say this.
You have not, look, to all the people who think there's a deep state and whatever,
then if you do think that's true, wouldn't you think they would use every resource available
internationally and nationally to do everything to destroy Trump,
who wasn't supposed to win in the first place?
Yep.
Outside of that, you've got
establishment wealth.
That's how I view it.
I understand the idea of the deep state. It's a reference
to just the establishment.
So I just call it that. It's like, look, Hillary
Clinton and her cronies and cohorts,
they're super rich and they will exploit
loopholes and they will do what they gotta do.
And now we're seeing all these celebrities
come out. We're seeing all these weird social media campaigns nothing makes sense i
wonder that you know when i see the nurses right the nurses blocking the cars now the nurses
cheering for the other protesters i'm like is is is it what is happening just literally tell me
because and as we found out nurses are cutthroat, man.
Yeah, they are indeed.
They're cutthroat.
No, but what I mean by this is if you're an average person and you just, you know, peruse various news outlets online or whatever,
and you saw them blocking the cars, you probably were like, oh, you know, the nurses are upset.
Now you see them cheering for the other protesters.
What would you think? Because I saw like,
I can't remember a mainstream journalist,
it might've been the New York Times,
mentioning the double standard
between Brett Kavanaugh and Joe Biden
was obvious to every single American.
It was, you know,
everyone knew exactly what was going on
and what the establishment was doing.
Yep.
So what is the average American going to think?
I don't know, man.
Red Bill.
Yeah, but maybe we're in a special area and regular people can't see it because they don't pay attention to the news.
Yeah, the people that only consume the mainstream media.
Those people exist and they believe it all.
They don't do research at all.
Cernovich said that he, Mike Cernovich said Trump will win and the Democrats will take
the Senate.
If they do, Trump will be impeached in two seconds.
Again?
Absolutely.
If they control the House and the Senate, they're going to walk right in and go, we're
impeaching the president.
Senate, agreed.
President's impeached and convicted.
Gone.
Boom.
Like that.
If the Senate gets it.
And Cernovich said he thinks they will.
And the polling data says they will too so all these stories are coming out saying that the senate
races have become so close republicans are getting concerned could be i think i think this is going
to be one of the most important elections of our lives and whatever that means for you you know
yeah i don't know all right let's read you yeah paul barnes says minneapolis will be the
real life battle royale arena now oh i got a sneeze coming chuck moore says a 69 joke right
at the start of the show on this christian channel shaking my head we even though i don't swear
we're not not religious family friendly andrew levin says king of the hill is better than family
guy changed my changed my mind you know i gotta admit when it comes when Levin says King of the Hill is better than family guy. Changed my,
changed my mind.
You know,
I got to admit when it comes,
when it comes to King of the Hill,
they're both good shows.
They are King of the Hill.
I would never choose to watch,
but if it was on,
I enjoy it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
They have,
they have their moments and they have their memes.
I mean,
is it even still running?
No.
Right.
So it's,
it was for the, it was relevant.
It was the relevant show.
Family Guy is now the relevant show.
Canva Hill was a weird show.
It's hard to compare them, though.
It was a weird show.
They're different, yeah.
Yeah.
Both good.
Finditytime says, here's some pie.
3.14.
Thanks for the super chat.
Thank you.
Nice.
Let's see.
Matthew Phillips, did you see Michael Scott in Netflix's Space Force?
Michael Scott?
I didn't.
I couldn't unsee it, too.
Well, I didn't see it.
I watched the first episode, and it really does feel like Michael Scott.
And funny enough, I just watched all of The Office.
So, like, the last episode of The Office, you see, because he was gone for two seasons, the last two seasons.
He wasn't in it.
But the last episode, boom, he's there, and he's's got gray hair and he looks exactly the same as he does in Space
Force. And then I was like, I'll give Space Force a try. And then it's like exactly
the same type of character. Is it a comedy? Yeah.
Make fun of Space Force. He's like the new head of the Space Force. Are they in space?
No, no, no. Well, at least in the first episode they're not. Space Force.
Alright, alright, let's see.
Where are we at?
There it is.
P-Man says, they're coming after yard parties here in the suburbs of Toronto while protesters stand shoulder to shoulder downtown.
Ford was criticizing people lining up for doom.
Now he's silent.
The double standard's obvious to everybody.
So I don't know what you'd expect, man, But I imagine people are going to be absolutely livid.
Dude, I feel like all of these governors are going to get voted out.
They're going to get wiped out in re-election because people are going to remember exactly how they were spat on.
That's what I'm seeing with a lot of people in Minnesota.
They're like, this is our mayor.
This is the governor.
This is your Senate elective.
Let's get these people out of here because they have no idea what they're doing.
It's the funny thing how people are blaming Trump.
And I see these memes where they're like, in a Democratic-controlled city, in a Democratic county, a Democratic district, or the Democratic governor of a Democratic state.
It's like you're blaming Trump.
Somehow it's Trump's fault.
Yeah, people don't pay attention to the news, man.
Nope.
Let's see.
Tanya Reid says, I have a ton of liberal white friends.
As a successful conservative minority, I am tired of them telling me about racism when they have never experienced it.
It's funny because I totally get it.
And it is, it's a social justice paradox.
Yeah.
That you, like, so, like, when I was talking to David Pakman about this, I said, I don't like the fact that because I come from a mixed family, they try and tell me.
And he goes, that's identity politics.
And I was like, right.
I hate it.
Yeah.
That's the point.
Yeah.
I don't want that.
We're on the same page.
Yeah.
I don't want people to be like, you're a minority, therefore, or you're white, therefore.
I'm like, no, no, no.
You don't get to tell me.
We just stop.
Just drop it all.
Stop bringing it up.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Right.
And that's what a lot of people of color and you know be latino
asian whatever tell these antifa types and then antifa goes around saying these things to minorities
it's mind-blowing agreed i like how they try and tell candace owens what what her opinion should
be because she's black it's like who are these what oh that reminds me that we're talking about
that uh that girl getting arrested in it one of the people getting arrested shouts a racial slur.
Seriously.
And I'm not even kidding.
And I'm like, dude, these people are such pathetic, awful, awful.
You want to talk about privilege?
Actors.
Privilege.
It's these kids.
They've never been disciplined.
They've never faced any hardship.
They're spouting racial slurs at the cops because the cops are arresting them.
And then they think what?
Like, you know what, man? That they should be treated special special they're better than everyone else yeah they do think you're literally protesting a dude who got murdered
right like you you realize what the cops and since that point 13 or 11 how many people have
died now since 13 i think 13 so far so far yeah i think it's. 14 people have been killed now. Yeah, 14.
I believe 13.
No, 12 may be confirmed related to the unrest.
Two of them peripherally.
Yeah.
So they haven't confirmed, but like it happened around.
So whatever.
These people don't know.
They don't care, man.
They're not fighting for justice. I saw this dude I know post something saying, it was like a meme.
It said, riots don't work.
And it said, two days later, Chauvin's arrested.
And then there was like some pathetic meme, it was like, oh.
And I responded with, you're absolutely right, the riots worked.
All you had to do was crawl over the corpses of the people who were killed and all the
lives destroyed by the rioting to get to where you wanted, right?
How about that?
Yeah.
Michelle Mybell says, another questionable arrest in Compton, California today.
Oh, joy.
Oof. michelle my bell says another questionable arrest in compton california today oh joy student of history says these cities are going to turn into third world gang-run hellscapes within six months yep i mean if everyone leaves well if the cops just are gone no cops anymore there's a
high potential of that yeah that's what i was worried about i think not brutal you're gonna
your class war in two seconds. The poor people in central Brooklyn
will rush to the Upper West Side
and take paintings off walls.
They will walk into your penthouse
and they'll be like,
hmm, fine piece of, you know, art.
And they'll walk out with it
and you can't do anything about it.
Yeah.
New York will become a hell zone for sure.
Let's see.
Let's see.
Blixem says,
Are the current riots,
the SJW's opening blitzkrieg
or the Battle of the Bulge?
I think it's the latter.
This is, so I have some preliminary information that it looks like the left is preparing for, you know, like, look, Bill Barr said he has evidence that Antifa is hijacking these things.
Wow.
I don't know what that evidence is, but I have also heard evidence that there is a legitimate left wing.
They call it the boogaloo i mean they're they're in the cities right now but they realize once they go into
the suburbs a lot of americans have guns that will kill them right no they yeah but the people
who are planning the left wing so here's what's funny they say that the boogaloo is a right-wing
thing it's not yeah i don't i keep seeing that it's like how is it a right-wing thing they're
they're lying in a sense they're i think i think i don't know i don't get it they're trying to deflect i think
they're just morons i think you got too many morons in media because i can tell you i can
guarantee there are far leftists who call it the boogaloo 100 they call it the boogaloo yeah it is
it is not a reference to right left white black whatever it's literally just it's slang term for
civil war and the left uses it the same as the right. And they are they are planning on launching something. So it's this
may be it. That's why, you know, people like, well, Bill Barr said it. The attorney general
said evidence and Antifa has been orchestrating these actions. It's going to get worse.
And November is coming. So really, oh, says, have you seen images going around of young white
children posing with a privileged sign for their parents to post on social media?
Virtue signaling is the new live vicariously through your kids.
Oh, I've seen it.
That's terrible.
LBY Ham says,
GZ on episode 69.
I've been watching Tim since his first appearance on Joe Rogan.
Tim, you do great work.
Shout out from Halifax, Canada.
Appreciate it.
Cool.
Heather Graham says,
Tim and Co. Thoughts on a possible defense argument in the George Floyd case. Due to
Floyd being uncooperative during the arrest, he was held in a way that limited possible
contracting of COVID-19. Oh, interesting. He was already in the police car, though,
wasn't he? Didn't they pull him out of the car right they were beating him in the car too
but i do think you know i think that doesn't make any sense though because he was already
on george floyd specifically no and i think it's a good point though that cops are going to be
doing covid specialized restraining you know what i mean i didn't even think about that
didn't he test positive then they test him and he had a month before oh okay remember when someone tweeted, if they say that George Floyd had COVID, we burn everything down?
Because they didn't think it would be true.
It was like it was a joke.
Yeah, yeah.
And then they came out.
We got to stop making jokes like that.
We didn't.
We were making jokes about the plague, remember?
We need a new plague, whatever.
When?
There are too many people.
We did not make that joke.
All the time.
I believe you made that joke.
That's a gif that's been going around for a long time.
Yeah, from the office.
Yeah, it's not me.
It is from the office.
It is in fact.
Dwight says it to Jim.
Like, we can't say anything in jest anymore.
All right, all right.
Nathan, thanks for the super chat.
Dr. B says, in the past few days, I've been called a racist, a fascist, and a mansplainer
for the first time in my life.
All I did was explain how trials work.
Only fascists pay attention in civics class.
Congrats, that's a hat trick.
These worldviews can't coexist.
If you have a mob of people
who are saying things that make no sense
and they're violently angry
and you can't reason with them,
what happens?
It's a breakdown, baby.
Project Zeppelin says,
did you hear about Rockstar shut down their games
for two hours for Black Lives Matter?
Yeah.
Cool. Talk about virtue virtue signaling weren't we
it's like what's that gonna do you know i i understand everyone wants to stand in solidarity
but there's this meme that's now going around it's like please you know we we're with it just
please keep buying our games and it's just like did you see the generic brand statement two hours
like okay these generic brand.
Yes, it was.
It was.
The logo is a rainbow heart and its name is bracket brand bracket.
And it's just a generic statement.
We here at brand, you know, offer up empty platitudes.
Yeah.
These times to make you feel better.
Yeah.
During Pride Month.
Everybody has pride flags.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love Nike being like, we stand in solidarity with all of you.
For once, don't do it. No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's literally their ad. No, what I'm saying is
these shoe companies and
these companies come out and they're like, we're right
here with you fighting for, you know, fighting
injustice and oppression. And they look over their shoulder
at the slave labor they use in foreign countries and
they're like, don't let anybody, you know,
don't let them know about that.
We'll kill our profits.
Yeah.
You know what the problem is?
Our cultural institutions have no resilience.
So they bend over backwards to cater to the mob.
It makes no sense for Apple or, you know, Apple blacked out the iTunes podcast or whatever
iTunes store for Black Lives Matter.
It's like, bro, the labor you use in China, we're committing mass suicide only a few years
ago.
Don't preach to me, man.
You haven't changed that.
You still use the same laboratory.
I get it.
They've opened something or contracted some lab from some factory in the United States.
But come on, man.
Spare me.
You're not fighting for anybody but yourself.
Let's see.
Oscar says, chaos is a ladder.
Lord Baelish.
Let's see.
Dimez Recon.
Stay safe.
You are one of a few voices of reason that remains.
You all need to stay safe for more than just yourselves. Appreciate it.
Thank you. Appreciate that a lot.
Drumsy says, love your work, man. With all the craziness going on,
it's good to come on YouTube and listen to a bit of reason to be grounded again. Appreciate it.
Nathan Abraham says, Democrats are trying to execute Order 66.
You're joking about it, but trust me, man.
What is to come in the next few months will be the equivalent of Hillary Clinton declaring Order 66.
2020 is a crazy year.
I'm not saying she's going to run.
I'm just saying she has a high-profile Democrat.
I'm trying to use the best example of—
Man, she's pushing herself on the scene, man.
Yeah, I believe it. You are going to see the best example of... Man, she's pushing herself on the scene, man. Yeah, I don't believe it.
You are going to see the Democrats order 66.
It is going to be like every celebrity standing up and putting out a message on the exact same day.
They do that a lot already.
Yeah, but imagine if every celebrity, imagine if every former government official, every former president, it is going to be nuts what they do.
That's creepy.
They're going to pull out...
Look, man, I'm seeing already celebrities say things like Taylor Swift. Yeah. You don't know
anything, Taylor Swift. You write songs about your ex-boyfriends and you have a ton of ex-boyfriends.
All you write about. And all of a sudden now you're an expert on politics. Shut up. I've been
covering this stuff for a decade and I barely know how most of this stuff works. I know way more than
you do. But why is Taylor Swift and The Rock now coming out and complaining about the president?
Yeah. The more they do this, the anger I get. And I wonder if they're trying to really
tap into the rage of the don't tread on me mentality to make everybody go vote for Trump.
Here's the here's the big conspiracy theory. They're all secret Trump supporters
trying to annoy you by insulting your intelligence so that you vote for Trump.
Maybe out of spite, just because like, know what? You people are annoying liars.
I tell you what, man.
The way I see it with human psychology, the nurses thing, dude.
Yeah.
The ultimate insult to injury.
Literally.
I got a lot of people in chat asking what is Order 66.
Oh, in Star Wars.
Some people don't know.
It's when the Emperor ordered the execution of all of the Jedi.
So he's like, you know,
he's all mangled
and he, you know,
he's got his hood on
and he goes,
execute Order 66.
And then all the clone troopers
turn around and start
shooting all the Jedi
and killing them,
wiping them out.
Oh, okay.
What I mean by the Democrats'
Order 66 is that
it's going to be
their secret salvo
of anti-Trump extreme propaganda attacks.
They're going to pull out every stop.
It sure feels like we're kind of there right now, or it's been going on.
Because every single thing that's happened in the past five, this whole year,
the Democrats have been like, it's Trump's fault.
Every single thing is Trump's fault.
But that's been that way for four years.
True. So my thing is Trump's fault. But that's been that way for four years. True.
So my question is then.
I guess I've been, as I said, when I got here, my blinders got ripped off.
Now I'm paying attention more than ever before.
So now I'm seeing it.
Here's the important question.
Is Donald Trump Goku or Vegeta?
I have no idea.
So for those that don't get the reference, in the Saiyan saga of Dragon Ball Z, the anime,
Goku uses everything in his power, his muscles are failing, and he has to win, and he wins.
You know, he overcomes the odds.
Okay.
And Vegito, who is the stronger one, who is the arrogant one, ends up losing.
The question is, which one is Trump?
Which one is, you know, the Democrats?
Is Trump the underdog summoning all of his strength for a last effort to win
and vanquish the evil?
Or is he the arrogant,
overpowered,
who gets wiped out
by the, you know, desperate?
I do like that you didn't use Biden
because he just wouldn't have made it.
Oh, he has nothing to do with this.
I know.
Like, who would Biden?
Biden?
Yajirobe?
I don't know.
No, not even.
Yajirobe was actually pretty cool.
So Yajirobe was like a weak, scared No, not even. Yajirobe was actually pretty cool. So Yajirobe was like
a weak, scared, fat guy.
But he still actually
helped Goku.
He cut off Vegeta's tail.
These references are going
right over your head
for most of your people.
But trust me.
Indeed.
Joe Biden, who would he be?
He'd be Master Roshi.
Oh, yeah.
Joe Biden's Master Roshi.
Master Roshi's a very old man
and he's a lecher.
And he's always trying
to hit on little girls
oh yeah wow
that's perfect
I'm sorry it's not fair either because
Master Roshi in Dragon Ball
he's like a really old man but he can also
get like super massive and muscular
and like summon power and he teaches Goku to do the
Kamehameha so it's not fair either
but there's a little overlap there with you know sniffing little girls
and stuff like that.
Yeah, Joe Biden's a creepy dude, man.
Yes, he is.
All right, let's get back to reading some of these super chats.
Move on, yeah.
Let's see.
Donnie Hopkins says, here's some of my daddy Trump money to go to the defense fund.
Make America armed again.
Yeah, well, thank the writers for that.
They certainly did.
If there's one thing that Black Lives Matter accomplished, it's bolstering the Second Amendment.
For real. It's like going on history books like, Black Lives Matter,
what did they accomplish?
They made everyone buy guns.
And I mean that with no disrespect
towards their personal goals.
I mean the outcome of all of these riots,
which were the result of these mass protests
where everybody going and buying guns.
Let's see.
Fuel Pagan says,
an attack on the supplier to the entire globe,
followed by a global shutdown, followed by global riots.
Consider George Floyd was killed on purpose.
And Ellison is in place to make sure we don't find the truth.
You know, I don't go that far with conspiracies.
Brand new cops.
Four day old cops.
Yeah.
Martyrs.
Martyrs.
Well, they wouldn't really be martyrs, but sacrificial lambs.
Patsies.
Yeah, that's true. That's why they were all. Yeah, they wouldn't really be martyrs, but sacrificial lambs. Patsies. Yeah, that's right.
Patsies, yeah.
True.
That's why they were all, yeah, they were confused and sitting there.
They wouldn't intervene because they had no experience.
One of them even said.
They were told not to.
He told the guy who had his knee on the neck, he's like, you shouldn't do that.
He told him.
What, one of the guys?
Yeah, one of the other police officers.
The brand new dude who'd only been on the force for four days.
The new guy said don't do it.
Yep. Should have intervened. What are you, yeah, that's hard. One of the brand new dude who'd only been on the force for four days. The new guy said don't do it.
Yep.
Should have intervened.
What are you?
Yeah, that's hard.
Dude, I'm sorry, man.
I'd intervene.
This is why this.
Do you know that there was like a lawsuit or something where I think I think it was the NYPD.
They won't hire you if your IQ is too high.
Yep. I heard that.
You heard that?
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure it's true.
Yeah.
And the argument they said was that smart people get bored and quit.
Yep, exactly.
So they only want dumb cops.
Well, there you go, man.
Welcome to America.
Yep, that's an issue.
Austin Laverty says, got an email from This Is Why I'm Broke asking me to donate to help stop police injustice.
First on the list was Act Blue.
Also having a Molotov is the same punishment as having illegal machine gun.
Wow.
Sikia Dargan says say hi
to caldack hello caldack atk says tim fail on the logan paul story there is video of a looter
exiting a pf chang's broken out window handing a bottle to jake's crew who then hands it to jake
the quarter has the video on it well there you go jake was looting holyly. It is what it is, man. Peacebone says the LAPD money cut is smoke and mirrors by the mayor.
LAPD has a $1.9 billion budget, and they were increasing it by $700 million more this year.
So they still getting half a billion budget increase.
Wow.
So what's $150 million?
Yeah, seriously.
Come on.
Classic Reaction says the State Police Association of PA released a seriously passive-aggressive response
to a photo of our governor,
Tom Wolf,
marching with a protester yesterday
that held a sign rating
Blue Lives Matter.
Whoa.
What?
Aaron Greco says,
did you see Project Vertas
infiltrated Antifa?
I did.
It was very great work.
Glorious.
Charles Quilter says,
we hold these truths
to be self-evident.
All men and women
created by, you know,
you know, the thing,
Joe Biden.
But you know why he did that?
And we mentioned it before.
It's because he didn't want to say the word God to a bunch of liberals.
They'd freak out.
Big Al says, COVID killed more blacks in one day than the police did in a whole year.
COVID affects blacks disproportionately.
Remind me who they're encouraging to go out and protest.
That's why I'm saying these people are racist.
That's why I had that tweet.
It was like, it feels like the Dems want these people to go out and catch COVID. Yeah, man. That's why I'm saying these people are racist. That's why I had that tweet. It was like, it feels like the Dems
want these people
to go out and catch COVID.
Yeah, man.
That's horrible.
It's ridiculous.
Peeping Tom says,
Adam, you think police
should have insurance
like doctors?
If you think police get paid
the same as doctors,
you are deluded.
If police need insurance,
there will be no police
and the cities will burn.
I don't claim to be an expert,
but I know that this is,
you know,
the qualified immunity protects them for not having to be accountable for their actions.
And there needs to be some some precedent to hold them accountable, period.
That's what I believe. So I'm not trying to make some grand case of any sort, but it's just my opinion on the case, so there you have it.
The Domestic Engineer says,
so grateful for sane voices like you guys
this past few years. Love from the Twin Cities.
I don't think the Twitterverse realizes
how many people these riots red-pilled here.
Oh, man. I've gotten emails.
People like, dude,
you know these people who,
like these lefty journalists who call me
right-wing or whatever, have no idea what's going on.
They really don't.
They live in this weird bubble.
They don't want to know because it goes against the grain.
Do you live in the suburbs?
I ask.
No, you live in a cubicle stacked on top of someone else in a city that smells like sour
milk.
I live in the suburbs.
I go and talk to my neighbor and they're like, did you hear about this crazy?
What's going on, man?
Yeah, I'm talking to, I was talking to a guy who was a contractor, never voted before.
And he told me he was like, oh, I don't know about all that, man.
You know, I don't follow this stuff, but I'm definitely voting for Trump this year because
I'm just sick and tired of these people attacking him.
It's like I don't even know what they're mad about.
A guy told me that local guy in the suburbs.
OK, and I hear this and I take that into consideration with everything I see. And that's where my opinion comes from, like as to what I think is going
to happen. Yeah. I don't just read, you know, like the Donald subreddit and go like this is
proof. Everyone loves Trump. You know, I get it. Those are the supporters. I read the far left
subreddits, the Bernie subreddits, too, to see what their opinion is. And I'm telling you, man,
the Bernie people are ragging on the Democrats, too. How could the Democrats win when they're getting
attacked from both flanks?
When I hear in the suburbs... I know.
Order 66. Yeah. That's the only way.
Execute Order 66.
And then Bernie is, like, walking down the street,
like, sidewalking his aides,
the politicians in the congressional office,
pull out blasters, and then he looks over his
shoulder, and then he draws a light zero, does a backflip.
Although it is interesting, though. I bernie in the emperor's cloak be perfect i mean he's got that kind of old nah by me look here's what i want you to imagine all

No, no, no.
Some people just can't get, you know.
Let's see.
What is this?
Well, you need coherent words to hear to make a connection.
He's just a nothing.
He's a blah.
It's hard to do, you know.
Admittedly, Trump was pretty hard for a while.
I think Alex Jones is one of the easiest.
Yeah.
You know, Alex Jones is very, he's very specific, you know.
Sean Easton says, okay, predictions.
These riots will result in people taking responsibility and police their own communities.
In November, riots will be less destructive due to an armed populace.
Spin the UFO and 69.
Nice.
Yeah.
I heard that.
Thanks, man.
Wow.
We got way too many super chats.
We're only in the first 10 minutes of super chats.
Trucking along.
Blood says, everyone is a lion till it's time to do lion stuff.
STFU says, Jean-Claude Van Damme was in the movie Breaking One.
Tim, you missed the big story on Cuomo.
He literally said there were good people on both sides when defending the protests a la Trump Charlottesville.
What Cuomo did?
Really?
Yeah, he said, yeah, I'll look it up.
Stone Bleeds says,
your beaniness, I can't read with this.
It's Cyrillic.
I can't read it.
Okay.
Thank you.
We got Robert and Marco.
Thanks for the super chats.
Thank you.
Super Bam Bam says,
I just learned that a cousin of mine
led a peaceful BLM protest in Arizona.
While I don't agree with her politics completely,
I am proud that she was able to lead a protest
without it getting violent.
That's awesome.
Yeah, peaceful protests, for sure.
It's in our amendment.
Like, I 100% support it.
Yeah.
So I'm going to take a quick break.
Make sure that you all have mashed that like button.
I said mashed.
Did you hear that?
Ooh, that's different.
Mash it.
You got to push your hand.
They're not going to know what to do.
Smash that like button.
Yes!
There we go.
Smash that like button.
But also, for those that are not familiar,
make sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram at TimCast.
And also follow Adam at AdamKrigler.
There I am, right there.
But that's the more important one because you can send him story ideas
in his pinned tweets that we actually use for the show
and other ideas and art and stuff.
And you can also follow at SourPajLids, L-Y-D-S. Yep, that's me. Because she posts spicy memes. I do. And subscribe to the show and other ideas and art and stuff. And you can also follow at SourPageLids, L-Y-D-S,
because she posts spicy memes.
I do.
And subscribe to the show,
because we've got about 20 more minutes.
And then after that,
I'm going to be jumping over to Louder with Crowder.
So hang out.
We're still going to be reading Super Chats
for the next 20 minutes,
but then apparently Crowder's got a surprise of some sort.
So everyone go over there.
He's going to be silly.
Oh, my gosh.
This is a long day for you.
It's going to be awesome.
Definitely a long day. A long day. I'm going to go to bed right
afterwards.
Well, it was nasty out anyway, so it's fine.
Today was like 95 degrees.
Eric says,
police kneeling may de-escalate
and say we understand your anger,
but I'm worried that it will also say we are with you
and won't stop you to those being violent
and encourage them. De-escalation 100%.
A lot of these instances, like the National Guard, you and won't stop you to those being violent and encourage them de-escalation 100 um yeah they're
a lot of these instances like the national guard man these guys are awesome the army as well i think
you know people it's it's crazy that people are freaking out over the idea of the army or the
military coming in when it's true that they're not necessarily trained for this kind of unrest
that's actually another point to be made they're not trained then they're they're what we've seen
so far the national guard
being like we're going to get out of your way you know you guys do your thing protests and then and
there was one video of them taking a knee the national guard is really there about the random
looters who are not involved with the protests yeah exactly and as long as they're there the
protests can be peaceful it's actually guaranteeing their civil disobedience it's crazy they're not
you know it's it's there have been some bad videos, like when they fire
on the porch of those people.
Yeah, I saw that.
But it's like, I have a feeling that if the army was deployed, it would be way better
than, than local police departments.
Because I mean, it, from what we've seen so far, where the, the, I can't remember who
it was, is a video where an army guy comes out.
It was in DC.
And he says, we're going to make sure you don't see us at all.
We want you to be able to protest and do exactly what you need to do.
And they walked away.
And I'm like, how is that worse?
Like, these guys were completely respectful.
Dude, these videos of the cops firing tear gas canisters, like, for seemingly no reason.
I've seen it, man.
I've been to so many protests where for no reason I see a cop throw a flashbang or fire in the crowd.
And I'm like, what are they doing?
I've also seen activists instigate on purpose.
I filmed that.
When the activists were.
No, no, no.
When the cop threw that flashbang.
In Baltimore?
Yeah, in Baltimore.
Like for no reason?
Yeah, there was no need.
Yeah, just walking up and like, and you're like, what?
I saw him pull the pin and I'm like, did he just pull the pin?
Yeah.
And I just turned the camera and then I saw him throw it i was like there wasn't there was like a couple people there and
it's like it just blew up right next to him it's crazy no this this kind of stuff won't fly man
no you see the video of the guy getting shot in the face the tear gas canister yeah what are you
doing what is that and i saw some people comment saying hey man if you won't listen to the police
you approach them i'm like dude there's like 50 steps in between
telling him to stop and shooting him in the face with a
tear gas canister. Yeah, that could probably
have killed him. Yeah, definitely.
If it hit him in the eye in a certain spot. They could have just
grabbed him and cuffed him. True that. People would have
complained about it, but hey, there would have been a viral
video of it. The guy was just smoking. He's like
walking up and then boom. Blasted in the face.
It's nuts, man. Wait, what does that say?
How much money for a Soy Jesusesus asmr channel i don't know where's that i don't know we can talk about it you're
gonna play games right i didn't i didn't realize that my voice was there so asmr all right we have
thank you unfortunately we got 800 billion yes what is this someone's uh supersonic flash as
crowder is dressed like a viking just to let you know. Oh, cool. I'm so excited.
What? I'm gonna be watching.
What is he dressed like a Viking for? Let's find out.
Maybe it has something to do with your surprise.
Alright, he's dressed like a Viking.
Keith Rogers says, God, guns,
God, Bible, bullets, and beans.
And beanies.
I said it first.
Here we go.
Aunt Zella says, it's beyond offending and infuriating listening to rich people supporting
to defund police from their walled mansions with security and bodyguards everywhere.
Yep.
Me too fell apart.
Next is BLM because that's how it goes.
The liberal agendas mobs start like Neighborhood Watch.
That's an interesting point, too.
Like people who are wealthy are going to be able to afford private security forces.
Yep.
They're just going to, you know, I want to go shopping.
All right, let's get the armed convoy going, you know, and we can go wherever and be safe.
Alex Jones privilege.
Not everyone's going to have that.
Alex Jones privilege.
The APC.
When he drives on the armored APC and they were throwing stuff at it.
I just laughed when I saw that video.
Like, what are you doing?
He's like, I'm on your side.
He was saying that?
Someone, yeah, on the loudspeaker.
Like, I'm trying to get the truth out there.
It's really funny how he is.
He really is.
Like, how it came to be, like, I was looking at a really old Paul Joseph Watson YouTube video.
Uh-huh.
And it was, like, a police brutality video.
He was talking about the government and all that stuff and, like, police brutality.
And it's true the the the conspiracy right the libertarian right yeah and
like the weird overlap between a lot of these communities were very much anti-police brutality
at around the same time down at occupy wall street and all that stuff and something weird happened
where now it's like they're not on the same side i guess i don't know man the the fracturing of the
of the political tribes is a weird thing yeah let. I'll say the least. Darren Daly says,
The phrase that Adam is looking for is postmodern feudalism.
In the era of easily outraged MSNBC-driven millennial mobs,
the cities aren't the answer.
Smaller, self-sufficient communities who can protect themselves is.
Okay?
Sounds like a good idea.
We got to bring the community back to humanity.
Yeah.
That's why we've survived so long.
It's because we've taught each other stuff.
We've stayed together.
We don't have that anymore. Now it's all about
being the best for yourself, by yourself.
Living on your own. Getting your own
apartment. Getting an apartment
and paying someone else. Living in a cubicle
atop a cubicle in a city that
smells like snow. That's not going to further
the human race. It's just separating us more.
The Grizzly says,
How much would I need to pay you three to play D&D on stream?
I'm a DM with 14 years of Dungeon Master experience
and was a partner store DM.
Unpaid person who got store credit for intruding the game every Wednesday
at my local game store.
I'd love to DM for you guys.
That would be dope.
Dude, once we get this building. That would be dope. Dude, once we get this building...
That would be dope.
So last year, we set up this thing in Connecticut
that eventually just didn't work out.
Okay.
And we were planning on doing all of these things.
We had a theater.
Okay.
You didn't know this, did you?
Yeah, I heard about it.
You told me about it.
So it didn't work.
We didn't have the space we needed,
and I came back down,
and I've been trying to look for a building.
We almost got one.
And the goal is, yeah,
we're going to do live streaming tabletop games,
hangouts, and stuff like that.
Dude, live stream D&D is so much fun.
We didn't get a chance to actually do it.
We did like one practice scenario where I was like a rogue in a bar.
And I convinced the barmaid to give everyone.
So I wanted goat milk, but it was spoiled.
And so I said it was chev, goat cheese.
And then we did the snare where everyone bought it.
And then I bought everyone goat cheese.
And it was just serious absurdity.
And that was about as far as we got.
Then we fought some wolves or something.
The Indy is fun.
It's fun make-believe.
And we make it silly.
We make it funny.
And that's the plan, man.
Once we get up and running with a good space and everything...
We got 12 minutes left. We got 12 minutes. We got a hard stop at 12 minutes yeah get uh yeah i read that
one i read that one what for official news news network yep we talked about scanner for a little
bit i would say your turn is a little oh okay all right right on and then uh what else we got
adam pennington says tim adam sour patch lids i tweeted you a live stream from a black cop in
california in the first hour of the stream.
He lets it all out talking about all the stuff you should watch the first hour of his VOD.
Interesting.
We'll check it out.
Edud says, the laws protecting police are there so you can't sue the individual while acting in the line of duty.
If we got rid of them, most police would lose their house and have to pay out of pocket defending against any accusations.
Or they would get insurance. Right. And I think the issue is how much would the insurance cost? Ten bucks, 20 bucks, 30, 40, 50, 100. I don't know, man, but I'll tell you what
doesn't work right now. Why is it that when a cop wrongful death, the taxpayer pays for it?
Like, why does it come out of my property taxes when a cop does something
wrong? So here's the problem I see. I totally get what you're saying. The police would probably
not want to do it because they'll be held responsible in the line of duty. All right.
Why is my community paying for the cops who now feel like they don't have to worry about it
because we paid the bill? How many cops are like, well, I'm not saying the cops want bad things to
happen, but they're also not super worried because they're like you know worst case scenario is you pay for it your tax
dollars your community the money that should be going to your school is going to be paid out
because we did something wrong and we don't care because you know i don't want to get too i don't
want to exaggerate a bit but like that this is this is a serious problem. Yep. Yep. All right. So for Super Chat, appreciate it.
Maria Jo's Jose Asbury.
Cyberpunk says, our side doesn't threaten cops.
And we listen to what they say.
You can only be armed protesting when not doing civil disobedience.
BLM cannot protest with weapons.
Teenagers would get hurt.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Our Strathman.
Beanie Crew. I have been a hunter for 35 plus years but never bought a firearm today i now own ar-15 350 legend 350 legend is the type of bullet it shoots smash
that like button smash it thank you mark robertshaw says my wife's family home had ghosts there was a
lady in a wedding dress she was murdered in the plot before the house was built.
There she would walk up the hallway.
There's a shadow man, a cat.
Well, that's pretty awesome and out of the blue, I guess.
That's amazing.
You guys are talking about ghosts.
We briefly added.
We kind of talked about ghosts a little bit, but interesting.
Very cool.
All right, let's jump down and see where we're at with the current super chats.
Vincent Keegan says, been watching your news for years.
Nothing but quality news.
Today's a good day to subscribe.
Appreciate it. Yes, it is. It's a good day to subscribe. Appreciate it.
Yes, it is.
It's a good day to subscribe to our channel.
That's right.
Make sure you subscribe, share, and all that good stuff.
D14Jab says, about localized cops for towns.
Bring back public shaming like the stockade.
Set them up, get the rotting produce, and allow for sit-ins to throw one item per person in a stockade and do it daily.
Well, I don't know about all that.
That's a little much.
But I get the idea.
I get the idea.
Public shaming.
That's cancel culture.
That's what they're doing.
No, cancel culture is being shamed out of your livelihood, though.
There's a big difference between.
Longstanding damage?
Yeah, between being embarrassed about what you did and having people call you out for it.
And then being like, okay, did you learn?
Yes.
So that's my problem with cancel culture.
You're not allowed to learn.
They're like, nope, you made a mistake.
That's it.
You're done forever.
You know?
No forgiveness.
Bruh.
That's not public shaming.
Did you hear about the guy whose dad said the N-word in the 80s?
So his son lost a sponsorship. What? Yep. Who was that guy? That's not public shaming. Did you hear about the guy whose dad said the N-word in the 80s? So his son lost a sponsorship.
What?
Yep.
Who was that guy?
That's ridiculous.
Race car driver.
Yeah, race car driver.
What did his son do?
They found out that his dad in the 80s said a word before he was born.
And so the sponsor dropped him.
Wow.
Because our cultural institutions, our companies are not resilient.
They are pathetic.
Yep.
You know what, man?
It's true.
Everyone.
I'm sorry.
I hate to say it.
I think the American culture is dominated now by pathetic gray blobs.
Weak.
Weakness.
Connor Daly lost his NASCAR sponsorship.
What happened to the First Amendment?
Someone can tell me, anyone on the chat, I don't care what you say about me.
It's not going to affect me.
I don't care.
I love who I am.
I'm very comfortable in my skin.
So you can say whatever you want.
You can call me anything you want.
I don't care.
I don't care what it is.
And that doesn't exist right now.
You're the same way.
Right.
And it doesn't matter.
Anyone could call you anything.
You'd be like, okay.
That's your right to call me whatever.
So this is the thing I was saying before.
It feels like liberal and conservative
is now not really about liberal and conservative
policy ideas. It's about whether
or not you're a whiny baby or an adult.
Yeah. Boom.
Pretty much. Wow. Yeah.
That pretty much sums it up.
I'm inclined to agree.
You're a vegan soy Jesus skateboarding
hippie. Yeah. And you're like,
F you. You can call me whatever. I don't care.
Call me soy Jesus.
That's you're trying to make you're trying to make funny.
I think it's hilarious.
Yeah.
No, but now it's not even.
It's like it's it was funny.
Someone tweeted at me.
I tweeted something and they were like, they said something like you complain about people
making fun of you on the Internet.
And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I encourage people to make fun of me.
I don't do.
Seriously.
You're just telling talking about me more spreading, spreading the the good word of me. I don't do. Seriously. You're just talking about me more, spreading the good word of Tim Pool.
Living rent-free in your mind.
Sure.
Yeah, man.
It's crazy.
I did a live stream a while ago because somebody was smack talking me on Twitter.
And I was like, I had this kind of like, this was a couple of years ago.
I had this kind of epitome.
Not epitome.
Epiphany.
Epiphany.
There you go.
That's the word.
And I was kind of like, wow.
Like, first of all, I don't care.
Dude, remember I told you the story about the friend we had growing up who used every racial slur?
Yeah, yeah.
Do you think I care what you call me, dude?
I called a racial slur like 50 times a day and none of us cared.
It was a joke to us.
It was funny.
Right.
But I realized like these people who are online shrieking and insulting, I'm like, man, they really care about me.
I'm not saying they care about me in the sense of my well-being.
I say they care about who I am and what I'm doing enough to be obsessed and like not stop
talking about it.
Bro, someone someone made a meme where, you know, the meme of the black dude.
It was Shaquille O'Neal.
I think it is.
He's sleeping.
And then he wakes up.
Oh, yeah.
And it said something like, you know, police brutally murder an armed black man.
And it's like sleeping.
And then it said Joe Biden farts and the eyes are glowing and open.
I thought it was hilarious.
Like the dude thought he was making fun of me.
And I was like, bro, that's awesome.
That's a funny meme. Like Joe Biden farts.
I agree. It was hilarious.
I made a tweet. I was like, I'm proud we broke
200,000 views on our Joe Biden farts video.
Did we break 200,000?
Yeah, I was like, this is my finest moment.
I laughed a lot
on that segment
that was such a fun segment
that was good
so I believe
someone said
I didn't know Adam
was such a connoisseur
of farts
of good farts
well we do have
well they know it now
the ever famous
super chats
from I.B. Riponam
who has now become
a staple of the super chats
dude I.B. Riponam's classic
I love it
I love that guy or girl I don't know it doesn't matter they be ripping them
what is this uh that's funny the v-tech kid baron says i agree with sargon don the maga beanie
already lol keep the good work you guys no you know you know what my thing is i think like the
maga hat represents something specific to a tribe almost.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Even if I end up voting for Trump in November, that's not – I don't feel like – it's just not who I am.
I'm just never going to wear that hat.
And it's not even the hat.
The shirt's like nah.
I'm completely independent.
I hate everybody equally.
I don't discriminate at all.
Everybody's awful.
That's right.
True equality.
I don't want to be involved in anyone's tribe. I don't want to be involved in anybody's group or
whatever. Politically homeless is the best way it's been described. And I think it was Bridget
Phetasy who coined that. I could be wrong. Maybe it was Melissa Chen. And it's just a bunch of
people with varying views who don't fit in anywhere and probably don't want to. I certainly
don't. And I might vote for you know, for Trump if it is.
But I'm not going to be a fervent shirt wearing, hat wearing or anything like that.
Yeah.
Like someone someone sent me the Trump straws and they're hilarious.
I don't use them.
I didn't buy them.
Right.
I just think it's funny.
I think the Maga beanies are funny, too.
I thought the Andrew Yang stuff was all funny as well.
I just want to I'm going to do my thing.
Ignore everybody else.
Mm hmm.
I want to, I'm going to do my thing. Ignore everybody else. Just do what I want to do. We got three minutes. SATS says, I don't think America is on the brink of a civil war, but rather close to
a reign of terror, which is worse.
Radicals are filled with merit politics, Marat politics, and the DNC is seemingly taken over
by Jacobins.
Oh, that's when it gets fun.
What's that one right above that?
Which one?
What does that say there?
It says, Adam, you are very handsome.
Thank you. Oh, oh. I very handsome. Thank you, Tim.
Oh, oh.
I just wanted to hear you say that.
All right.
Alternative JK says, I'm watching the George Floyd surveillance tape and noticed there
was a fifth cop at the scene, navy blue vest and bandana mask.
I'm surprised no one brought this guy up and he could be a suspect.
But there was actually more than five cops.
I think there were six.
Really?
Oh, I don't know.
Yeah, because the other guy came.
There was in and out.
There was another cop who was a tall, I think he was Middle Eastern looking.
So, yeah, there was a bunch of cops involved in this.
Bomchus says, I just spent the last three minutes trying to insult you like a kindergartner

Basically, these memes are hilarious.
They're old school 4chan memes. I say old school but like four years ago. And it would be a
story where
some woman was freaking out because a man was exerting
his patriarchy. And then
it would end by the man whispering in her ear
I laid my jacket down over the puddle
before she was about to walk. She was
quivering in fear at the sight of the patriarchy.
I leaned over and whispered, it was my privilege.
These memes are hilarious. That's amazing.
There's a bunch of them. They're funny. Well, there you go.
The UFO is spun.
