| Thanks for watching. | ||
| Conspiracy or just warrants gone wrong? | ||
| Warrants gone wrong. | ||
| What's up, everybody? | ||
| The lead story we have for you was requested by a lot of people. | ||
| We started looking into it. | ||
| We got some articles pulled up. | ||
| It's about a man named Duncan Lemp, who was killed by police. | ||
| They were serving a warrant. | ||
| And witnesses say that he was just sleeping and the cops started firing through the door. | ||
| I don't know, they're like wearing masks or something. | ||
| It's like a crazy story. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if there's too much in the way of like legit reporting on what's really going on. | ||
| We got a couple stories. | ||
| But this really does fall in line with a couple things. | ||
| Well, I should say with one real thing. | ||
| It's these red flag laws. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Where they basically serve a warrant without you knowing. | ||
| And they're like, we're coming to take your guns. | ||
| And then people are like, no, you're not. | ||
| And then they get killed. | ||
| It's happening a lot. | ||
| Because the people who said my cold, dead hands, they meant it. | ||
| So welcome to the show, everybody. | ||
| I am Tim Pool. | ||
| This is Adam. | ||
| What's up, everybody? | ||
| We got Lydia behind the scenes. | ||
| We are working on the camera for everyone. | ||
| And if you would like to have your comment read in the super chat, just super chat, and we read through them. | ||
| We try to do our best. | ||
| Sometimes we got to pass through. | ||
| We read as many as we can. | ||
| And don't forget to subscribe. | ||
| Hit that like button and share. | ||
| And share. | ||
| Make sure you tell everyone we are really awesome people. | ||
| Please do. | ||
| Yeah, say you must come and watch this amazing show. | ||
| Especially that Soy Jesus guy. | ||
| Yeah, Soy Jesus. | ||
| He's a vegan, but you'll like him. | ||
| You will like him. | ||
| No, that's funny because- He's not a pushy vegan. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He's a nice vegan. | ||
| But no, there are people saying like, I once thought that Soy Jesus was a soy boy, but then I realized he's actually a soy Chad. | ||
| And I was like, all right, there you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| Soy bro. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So we got it. | ||
| We have a bunch of stories. | ||
| We'll see what we get to, but we're gonna talk about Atlantis as well. | ||
| Cause we were talking about this the other day. | ||
| And I think to get away from the coronavirus and politics, we're like, let's just talk about some weird stuff. | ||
| Weird stuff's fun. | ||
| I like weird stuff. | ||
| There was a viral video on YouTube where people were claiming they discovered Atlantis. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| They were like, this is where it is. | ||
| And then jerks were like, no, this is not where it is. | ||
| And so we have the debunk article. | ||
| We'll figure it out. | ||
| I have something that I want to be true and believe, but I'll talk about it when we're talking about the subject. | ||
| Well, so this first story, I read the article, the Duncan Lemp one, and I, you know, it's a similar story we hear a lot, so I didn't know if there's anything, you know, like, I don't know how to actually, like, address what's happening. | ||
| People think it's, like, some grand conspiracy. | ||
| Somebody commented in the Super Chat, this guy was, like, working on some kind of encrypted program or Bitcoin or something like that. | ||
| Yeah, I haven't seen anything, but it feels like if he was they would probably want to keep it under wraps, you know, whatever it was. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| But I'm sure someone out there knows and just doesn't want to say anything because if this happened to, you know, the person they know that was working on it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There have been a handful of people who have died under mysterious circumstances. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Suicide, etc. | ||
| I know someone personally. | ||
| Who have been working on some crazy stuff. | ||
| Oh, I don't know if you want to bring that up. | ||
| Yeah, that's another subject. | ||
| The chat will light up. | ||
| It falls in line with this a little bit, if this is the case. | ||
| And it involves a very, very high-profile individual. | ||
| It really does. | ||
| What is he talking about? | ||
| Isn't everybody all excited right now? | ||
| What could it be? | ||
| Let's just go into this. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| Alright, here we go. | ||
| The Guardian. | ||
| This is a story from March 14th. | ||
| Maryland man fatally shot by police while asleep in his bedroom. | ||
| Montgomery County Police said Duncan Socrates Lemp confronted officers as eyewitnesses gave contrary account. | ||
| They report a Maryland man who was shot and killed by a police officer was asleep in his bedroom when police opened fire from outside his house, an attorney for the 21-year-old man's family said on Friday. | ||
| The man's girlfriend was also wounded. | ||
| The Montgomery County Police Department said in a news release, Duncan Socrates Lemp confronted police and was shot by one of the officers early on Thursday. | ||
| But Renee Sandler, an attorney for Lemp's relatives, said an eyewitness gave a completely contrary account of the shooting. | ||
| She said police could have absolutely no justification for shooting Lemp based on what she has heard about the circumstances. | ||
| The facts as I understand them from eyewitnesses are incredibly concerning. | ||
| The warrant police obtained to search the Potomac home Lemp shared with his parents | ||
| and 19-year-old brother does not mention any imminent threat to law enforcement or to the | ||
| public. Lemp's relatives said in a statement released by their lawyers. Nobody in the house | ||
| that morning had a criminal record, the statement said. Any attempt by the police to shift | ||
| responsibility onto Duncan or his family who were sleeping when police fired shots into their home | ||
| is not supported by the facts. A police department spokesman did not immediately respond to statements | ||
| from the family or their lawyer. The department's news release said tactical unit members were | ||
| serving a high-risk search warrant around 4 30 a.m. when police fired shots into the home. | ||
| when one officer fatally shot Lemp. | ||
| Police detectives recovered three rifles and two handguns from the home. | ||
| Lemp was prohibited from possessing firearms, police said. | ||
| Detectives were following up on a complaint from the public that Lempth, though prohibited, was in possession of firearms, the release said, without elaborating. | ||
| Sandler said the family believes police fired gunshots, not a flashbang or other projectile, from outside the home, including through Lempth's bedroom window, while he and his girlfriend were sleeping. | ||
| Nobody in the home heard any warnings or commands before police opened fire. | ||
| There is no warrant or other justification that would ever allow for that unless there is an imminent threat, which there was not. | ||
| The police release said facts and circumstances of the encounter were still under investigation. | ||
| Prosecutors from neighboring Howard County will review the evidence at the conclusion of the investigation. | ||
| So I guess we'll wait and see. | ||
| But I have a feeling this will get buried. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| It feels like it's going to get buried. | ||
| I mean, it's interesting that they were just... Let me scroll up a little bit. | ||
| It says detectives were following up on a complaint from the public. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it? | |
| B.S. | ||
| I don't buy it. | ||
| That's the reason they went and got a warrant? | ||
| Because the public was complaining that he had guns? | ||
| No way, dude. | ||
| And it's like, who was complaining? | ||
| Who knew a guy with no criminal record was not allowed to have a weapon? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And then it's like, you know, wait, why was he prohibited to have weapons? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| It doesn't say. | ||
| It doesn't say that either. | ||
| It's like, what? | ||
| And the biggest thing, if they were, if they had a confrontation with him, that means they saw him and they would have shot him. | ||
| How did his girlfriend get wounded? | ||
| That doesn't make any sense to me. | ||
| Were they just shooting in the general direction? | ||
| No, they're trained to aim at the person. | ||
| And they saw he had a gun and said put it down and he didn't so they would shoot at him. | ||
| Why would his girl be there with him? | ||
| If she was sleeping, would she follow him, right? | ||
| Stand right behind him during this whole thing? | ||
| Well, so we have this story. | ||
| It's from the American conservative. | ||
| This is really interesting because we're starting to see, you know, the left for the longest time has decried police brutality and a lack of accountability. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now, especially with red flag laws, conservatives are also saying basically the same thing. | ||
| And then it is interesting, too, when you see there's a lot of sheriffs and police who are saying they refuse to serve like confiscation orders or anything like that. | ||
| So we'll see how far that, you know, whoever it is who wants to push these laws, we'll see how far they take it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But this story from the American conservative says the mystery deepens over the pre-dawn police killing of Duncan Lemp. | ||
| Well, that's an interesting thing too. | ||
| The pre-dawn, 4 30 a.m. | ||
| They show up in the middle, you know, wee hours in the morning. | ||
| And is it to catch them sleeping? | ||
| Cause they, they did. | ||
| They caught him sleeping and they were wearing masks. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| So like, and they, they, as that eyewitness said, they didn't announce themselves. | ||
| They didn't like, this is a, we're serving a warrant. | ||
| So if you're in the middle, if you're waking up at 4 30, hearing someone, Breaking into your house without hearing that there's a police, what do you think it's gonna be? | ||
| It's a robber or someone coming to shoot you. | ||
| Oh, this happens all the time. | ||
| Why wouldn't you, like, grab the, you know, your defense? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| You know? | ||
| And defend yourself. | ||
| Dude, there are tons of stories like that where there's, like, no-knock raids with plain-clothes cops. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| And then people are like, here's a strange man wearing regular clothes in my house with a gun. | ||
| That's crazy, man. | ||
| And then you end up in prison. | ||
| Yeah, there's a bunch of stories like that. | ||
| Geez, dude. | ||
| I don't understand it. | ||
| So we have this story from the 18th, from the American Conservative. | ||
| Saying under pressure by media criticism, the police department issued a detailed statement this afternoon purportedly exonerating itself. | ||
| That's my favorite one. | ||
| We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong. | ||
| Yeah, what are the odds? | ||
| That statement, the third revision of their official account of the fatal raid, is contradicted by multiple eyewitnesses. | ||
| Police now say that the raid was spurred by an anonymous tip at the beginning of the year, indicating that Lemp was in possession of firearms. | ||
| I guess so. | ||
| In response from the Lemp family delivered by their lawyer, Renee Sandler noted, | ||
| Using a three-month-old anonymous tip, the police sought and obtained a no-knock search warrant on March 11, 2020 at | ||
| 2.38 p.m. | ||
| The police department states, The warrant was served in the early morning hours | ||
| consistent with Montgomery County Department of Police practice. | ||
| So an anonymous tip is all it takes for a SWAT team to launch violent pre-dawn assaults on Montgomery County homes? | ||
| The press statement declared. | ||
| Three months old? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The officers entering the residence announced themselves as police and that they were serving a search warrant. | ||
| Why did they obtain a no-knock warrant if they intended to enter the residence and announce themselves? | ||
| Yeah, because they're full of it. | ||
| According to the statement from family members, the raid began when SWAT officers initiated gunfire and flashbangs through Duncan Lem's bedroom window in the front of the house, according to the police. | ||
| Upon making contact with Lem, officers identified themselves as police and gave him multiple orders to show his hands. | ||
| The press release reads almost as if Lemp died from an overwhelming sense of guilt, rather than being shot perhaps multiple times by police. | ||
| It also doesn't specify whether they'd shot or otherwise wounded Lemp before making contact and issuing commands. | ||
| According to Lemp's pregnant girlfriend, who was in bed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my god. | |
| She said, police never made verbal commands upon either her or Duncan until after Duncan | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gosh. | |
| was shot and lay bleeding on the floor. | ||
| The press release declares, upon entrance by officers into Lemp's bedroom, Lemp was | ||
| found to be in possession of a rifle and was located directly in front of the interior | ||
| bedroom entrance door. | ||
| Was he quote found to be in possession as he lay on the floor bleeding? | ||
| And was it Lemp or the rifle that was directly, quote, in front of the interior bedroom entrance door? | ||
| The police claim to be vindicated because they found five firearms in the house and because they asserted today that Lemp had a criminal history as a juvenile. | ||
| I thought they said there was no criminal history in the other article from The Guardian. | ||
| That prohibited him from legally possessing or purchasing firearms in the state of Maryland until the age of 30. | ||
| Do the police have a right to kill anyone who possesses a firearm in violation of any statute on the books? | ||
| If so, that's bad news for the tens of thousands of Maryland gun owners who are federal felons because they use marijuana or other illicit drugs. | ||
| The police department has offered a sham of transparency. | ||
| They refused to answer any of my questions last Friday. | ||
| I sent another set of questions to them this morning prior to the latest revision of their story among them. | ||
| Many people online have suggested that Lemp was targeted for a raid because he was helping to build a secure computer site for people who shared his pro-gun political beliefs. | ||
| Is that allegation correct? | ||
| Did concerns about Lemp's political beliefs or associations factor into the SWAT team's decision to launch a violent raid at 4.30am? | ||
| Did the SWAT team or other police department or Montgomery County officials do any assessment of the likelihood that someone would be injured or killed by a nighttime SWAT raid that began with shooting or flashbangs? | ||
| Did Montgomery County police or other officials make any effort or even consider making an effort to serve the search warrant in any way that would have permitted the peaceful, voluntary cooperation of Lemp family members? | ||
| He goes on to say that he sent these to them. | ||
| He asked some other questions. | ||
| So, you know, in the end, he says the Montgomery County Police Department doesn't have a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent after it kills county residents. | ||
| The SWAT team wore body cams and police have thus far refused to release the footage. | ||
| They deserve no benefit of the doubt for this violent killing. | ||
| Yeah, I want to see that body cam footage. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Bring it out. | ||
| I don't care what your politics are. | ||
| How are you not showing that? | ||
| And the fact that you're not makes me not believe anything you're saying, police. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| You wear them for this reason. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Have you ever seen that video where the cop thinks he's turning his body cam off and he turns it on and then films himself planting drugs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah, I haven't seen that. | ||
| But I'm not surprised. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, dude, this kind of stuff happens all the time. | ||
| So, look, people, yeah, people have been saying this guy was developing some kind of encrypted chat system or something and all of a sudden the cops came and took him out. | ||
| You know, the issue I take with that for the most part is, is that enough to kill? | ||
| Like, there's companies that have encryption that have resisted national security letters and then been shut down. | ||
| You know, there are activist websites that do email that have the feds come and seize their servers. | ||
| Would some dude working on this warrant, like, an assassination by the state? | ||
| I wouldn't... Yeah, who knows? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It could be an attempt to, like, restrain him in some capacity that went wrong. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like, they know... Like, maybe he was warned already or something? | ||
| No, no, like... And he's like, no, I'm still doing my job. | ||
| No, no, like, that was them being like, we want to put pressure on him to get him to stop what he's doing. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| But overzealous SWAT guys were like, let her rip. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| You know what the issue is? | ||
| I interviewed an NYPD detective and he told me, this was years ago, he said there's nothing more dangerous, and this is a little hyperbolic, than a scared person holding a gun. | ||
| And you have these police officers who keep saying, I'm scared for my life. | ||
| I was scared for my life. | ||
| He's like, well, if you're scared, go home to your mother. | ||
| Because this job is not for people who are terrified all the time. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| And this is an NYPD cop. | ||
| He told me a story about how He had his gun, he confronted a crazy guy who had his gun drawn, and he refused to draw his weapon. | ||
| And he was like, because if I draw, I'm escalating that conflict, and now that guy, we're getting in a shoot-off, and I was like, bro, I'm not gonna draw, I'm gonna keep my hands up, and I'm gonna talk to you, there's no way out of this, you gotta put it down, eventually the guy put it down, and they took care of things. | ||
| That's a cop right there. | ||
| That's policing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| That's a good cop. | ||
| That's policing. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Super diplomatic. | ||
| And you ever see that story? | ||
| I think it was from Brazil. | ||
| A guy comes in a hospital. | ||
| He's got a knife. | ||
| And the cop just like sits down and puts his hands up. | ||
| Starts talking to the guy. | ||
| This might have been in like Thailand or something. | ||
| But then eventually he convinces the guy to drop the knife and gives him a hug. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Talk about people who are brave and heroes who actually shut these things down. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Look, I get it, man. | ||
| I was talking to... I can't remember where I saw this, but I was reading a story about some cops and their mentality when it comes to dangerous situations. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And I've talked to some people who have served, who have done law enforcement stuff, and there's this idea that some of them say is, I'm not going to risk my life for you. | ||
| I'm at work. | ||
| And so there needs to be some kind of cultural honor within police culture, I guess, where it's not about you going to work and dealing with annoying people, it's about you being a hero who's supposed to defend the community. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| And that means you are held to a higher standard, it means you are at risk, and it means that yes, you will put yourself on the line to do the right thing. | ||
| So I can understand, it's like if you're walking up to a car, Cause I've seen, I've also seen these videos, man, where, uh, cause they released body cam stuff for this too. | ||
| A cop is walking up to a car and then the guy in the front, and then he walks up and he's like, licensed registration. | ||
| And then the dude reaches down and pulls out a gun and goes, pop, pop, pop, pop. | ||
| And the guy starts screaming. | ||
| I've seen those videos. | ||
| And I'm sure every single cop has seen those too. | ||
| So they're like, we know it exists. | ||
| There's people that just simply hate cops. | ||
| Doesn't matter who what kind of cop like it could have been the best cop You know who walked up and would have probably let him off, but it doesn't matter They had drugs in the car or like something something Warren, right? | ||
| And they're like there's nothing that's gonna stop me from killing this cop and getting out of here because that's a fight-or-flight Yeah, who's that guy was it? | ||
| Alton Sterling was that his name yeah in his car I hope I'm getting the right name. | ||
| Let me check. | ||
| But there was a guy who was a legal gun owner. | ||
| And the cop came up to his car and said something like, you know, license and insurance or whatever. | ||
| And then he asked me if he was armed. | ||
| And the dude was like, I am. | ||
| I have a permit and a concealed weapon. | ||
| And the cop was like, don't reach for it. | ||
| He's like, I'm not. | ||
| He goes, don't reach for it. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. | |
| Wow. | ||
| And the girlfriend was filming it. | ||
| That wasn't the guy who was in his car. | ||
| But yeah, there was a guy who was sitting in his car. | ||
| I got the name wrong? | ||
| He went to get his ID. | ||
| Yeah, I forget his name. | ||
| I think his name was Phillip. | ||
| Phillip Castile. | ||
| Philando. | ||
| Philando Castile. | ||
| Was that it? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| When was this? | ||
| A while ago or recently? | ||
| A few years ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
2016? | |
| Yeah, he was pulled over while driving in Falcon Heights, Minnesota and killed. | ||
| So this is interesting to me, right? | ||
| I think we're absolutely allowed to have a discussion about gun control stuff, but this is what we're getting from it. | ||
| They pull up to a guy who's a legal gun owner, Philando Castile, that was his name, right? | ||
| Yeah, that was his name. | ||
| Alright, cool. | ||
| Alton Sterling was another one of these people. | ||
| Yeah, he's the riot guy. | ||
| Oh, okay, okay. | ||
| Was that Maryland? | ||
| Was that Baltimore? | ||
| I think that was in Baltimore, I think. | ||
| Check out this story from 2018, and I gotta be honest, I just Google-searched red flag law, like, killed, and then it's like all these stories pop up where the police get a warrant to come to someone's property and take their guns without them knowing, without giving them a reason, without serving them, they just walk up and say, turn them over. | ||
| You gotta realize, like, the people who own weapons believe in their right to own weapons, and the Constitution straight up says you can. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| You wanna have a discussion about changing that, we'll have a discussion. | ||
| But if you didn't change it, you can't just show up and then shoot somebody because they refused to turn it over. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But they're doing it. | ||
| Dude, there's tons of stories like this and it's crazy. | ||
| It's pretty insane. | ||
| There's one. | ||
| This might be it. | ||
| Like, basically, look at this. | ||
| A 61-year-old man is dead after he was shot by an officer trying to enforce Maryland's new red flag law in Ferndale Monday morning. | ||
| Anne Arundel County Police confirmed the police-involved shooting happened on the 100 block of Linwood Avenue. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, we get it. | ||
| At 5 a.m., 5.15 a.m. | ||
| Of course, yep, 5.17. | ||
| According to police, two officers serving a new extreme risk protective order, a Maryland protective order to remove guns from a household, shot and killed the man listed on that order. | ||
| Under the law, family, police, mental health professionals can all ask for the protective orders to remove weapons. | ||
| The man was identified as Gary J. Willis of the same address. | ||
| Officials said Willis answered the door while holding a handgun. | ||
| Willis then placed the handgun next to the door. | ||
| When officers began to serve him the order, Willis became irate and grabbed his gun. | ||
| One of the officers tried to take the gun from Willis, but instead, Willis fired the gun. | ||
| The second officer fired a gun, striking Willis. | ||
| He died at the scene. | ||
| Yeah, this was someone saying, my cold dead hands. | ||
| Straight up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Cops showed up and they were like, we're taking your gun. | ||
| He's like, nope. | ||
| And he went to grab it. | ||
| They fought for it. | ||
| And he was like, nope. | ||
| So, you know, all of these people, these gun grabber type peoples, you realize these people mean it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's a constitution that says you can't take it and there's a serious conundrum. | ||
| I don't understand how these red flag laws got passed in the first place. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because? | |
| It's a direct violation of the constitution. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
| Well, the argument is that there are limits on the amendments. | ||
| Like, within free speech, you know, you can be sued for slander, and if you threaten someone's life, you can be charged with, you know, threatening someone's life. | ||
| Right, okay. | ||
| So their argument is that if somebody has a mental illness, they shouldn't have a weapon, so someone else can flag them. | ||
| Yeah, which is abused. | ||
| So what is that? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's abuse. | ||
| It's like the family. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Who can do it? | ||
| The family, the police officers, mental health professionals under the law. | ||
| Yeah, so it's like a family member just is upset with you. | ||
| Or like an ex. | ||
| Or mad at you. | ||
| Well, I mean, as an ex, would that count? | ||
| Like your ex-wife. | ||
| Sure, okay. | ||
| Who just simply hates you. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Wants you out of the house and wants to go and take stuff or something. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| But you're armed, and they're like, you know what? | ||
| I can abuse this law. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yikes. | |
| And there are people who are not going to give it up. | ||
| So this is, you know, this all leads into, you know, what we've been seeing recently. | ||
| There was a viral thread where somebody went through a list of all of our rights that were just erased due to the pandemic. | ||
| And it's a lot. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Like, oh yeah, man. | ||
| The right to assemble, to worship, you know, like our expression is being threatened. | ||
| You can't go outside at all. | ||
| And these are all violations of the First Amendment. | ||
| The government shall not be able to do this. | ||
| They just did it and no one did anything. | ||
| So this is what worries me because, look, I think it's fair to say that the coronavirus is a serious threat. | ||
| It's happening all over the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's not like all these countries are in on it. | ||
| It's a pandemic for a reason. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But then do we just cheer when all of a sudden our constitutional rights don't exist anymore? | ||
| I mean, are they written so that it's just an indefinite thing now? | ||
| Or is it because of the pandemic, during the pandemic, until the pandemic ends? | ||
| I'm not saying I like any of this. | ||
| Dude, they're saying two years. | ||
| Is that written in there? | ||
| So it's written into these laws. | ||
| For two years, you can't assemble. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no, no. | |
| You can't protest. | ||
| Like Maryland. | ||
| In groups. | ||
| Maryland's law is indefinite. | ||
| This red flag stuff. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Maryland's quarantine decree. | ||
| There's no time limit. | ||
| It straight up says you can't do these things, period. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's crazy. | |
| And we'll let you know when we revoke this law. | ||
| That's nuts. | ||
| Yeah, they're screaming about Hungary, because Viktor Orban gets decree power, and I'm like, yeah, that's a bad thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They just did it here in the U.S. | ||
| in all these different states. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| It's called fiat power. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| Look, man, I'm annoyed with all the people who go out and don't care and ignore quarantine stuff, because it's like, It's not that big a deal, man. | ||
| You don't have to go fight on the front lines. | ||
| You don't got to risk your life. | ||
| Just stay home. | ||
| It's gonna be boring. | ||
| And there is within reason how long we can do this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't think, you know, what they've been saying is 12 to 18 months, two months on, one month off, that kind of thing, until we have a vaccine. | ||
| But I don't like the idea of just blindly trusting the government. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| For now, I'm looking at all these other countries, and I'm like, okay, I think it's clear to see, like, there's not an international cabal conspiracy to, you know, make this stuff happen. | ||
| But never let a good Christ go to waste. | ||
| So, like, Viktor Orban, for instance, in Hungary, just recently enacted, or they're proposing a law, a bill, that would change all the laws that say the word gender to gender at birth. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So it's like, that's a political ideological move. | ||
| And while I understand what they're doing, and to a certain degree I agree with like, protecting civil rights for biological females, I understand, I do not agree with like, oh what's that? | ||
| We got decree power because we're under a pandemic? | ||
| Now let's do a bunch of political agenda items that we wanted to get done because no one can stop us. | ||
| Yeah, it's messed up. | ||
| I agree. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I just saw Gavin Newsom talking about this. | ||
| I think it was. | ||
| He's like, this is the best time to push our progressive mindset into the world. | ||
| I was like, yeah, we know. | ||
| What did Clyburn say to Pelosi? | ||
| Now's our chance to shape things in our vision. | ||
| Dude, these people are evil. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| And the problem is people who want to be fair and rational and good faith and have an honest conversation typically don't want to be in charge. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| But these sociopaths who think they're smarter than you want to be in charge, so they run for office, they get elected, and then they start seizing power and doing really stupid things. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Most people don't pay attention, so it just keeps getting worse. | ||
| And that's why I want to vote for Tim Pool 2024. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| I'm on it. | ||
| No, but I'll tell you what. | ||
| How about we do this? | ||
| We'll hop over to those super chats, and then we will talk about the next story we have is This is not the apocalypse you were looking for. | ||
| Pop culture has inundated with catastrophe porn for decades. | ||
| None of that has prepared us for our new reality. | ||
| No zombies. | ||
| So we're gonna continue the conversation into Dystopian Nightmare, but unfortunately for all of you, Man, is it so boring. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| Like the most boring apocalypse ever. | ||
| Two out of ten. | ||
| No zombies. | ||
| I mean, we're getting drones and police raids. | ||
| Yeah, that's not the way I wanted it. | ||
| I guess, we're kind of like 1984. | ||
| It hasn't really hit the fan yet. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Here's what I demand. | ||
| Trump is doing daily press briefings. | ||
| True. | ||
| I would like the camera to be just straight on his face so you see nothing but his face in the TV when he talks. | ||
| And I want him to start with a routine of calisthenics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Before we get started on the pandemic, everybody, 10 squat thrusts. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| And it's just his face talking. | ||
| That's excellent. | ||
| Now jumping jacks. | ||
| Oh, he's not doing anything himself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's standing at the podium, but the camera zooms into his face. | |
| Good job. | ||
| At least 1984 would be funny then. | ||
| I guess so. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And they put cameras on all the TVs and they watch you do it. | ||
| For those who are watching, we have returned the globe. | ||
| The globe's back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have, yes. | |
| And we kept the UFO. | ||
| The UFO's getting close to the Earth. | ||
| Tell us what you think. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| All right, let's grab these Super Chats and then we will carry on from there. | ||
| King Canuck says, saw Jeremy's update on what's happening with you and Chris. | ||
| Anyone else here who wants to ask about it, go watch those videos and don't bother Tim about it tonight. | ||
| Have a good stream, all three of you. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| IsRafaelXGaming says, Tim, we can't do guests because we aren't set up for Skyping. | ||
| Also, Tim, literally on Crowder tonight on Skype. | ||
| And you may have noticed, hold on, that I had to rig this weird camera setup. | ||
| We had to test the Skype. | ||
| It was so annoying. | ||
| And it's choppy, and I'm going like this on camera. | ||
| He really is a robot. | ||
| Because the frame rate was nine frames per second or something really awful. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I think the beanie was just on low power. | ||
| Dude, we are not set up for Skype. | ||
| Skype is the worst. | ||
| I hate it. | ||
| We might be able to, but the thing, the issue with Skype is that getting the camera system to go into Skype versus what we use with our live production software, totally, totally different. | ||
| So annoying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So having someone, it's not so much even about being set up for Skype. | ||
| It's also just like, we wanted to be an in-person show podcast, not another, you know, cause everybody, you know, just like you could do a Skype conversation easily. | ||
| We were actually bringing guests out, sitting them down, having conversations, you know, jerky and stuff. | ||
| They can't run away, and they can't turn the camera off. | ||
| Yeah, especially now, because we'll have him trapped in the middle. | ||
| Like, ha ha ha ha, got you! | ||
| He can't leave. | ||
| Perfect, this is the plan, yes. | ||
| Beanie sandwich! | ||
| Alright, let's grab some more. | ||
| Ooh, sketchy. | ||
| Yeah, also, I'm like, on Crowder tonight, and I was like, wait a minute. | ||
| He's two places in the world? | ||
| That's so weird, like, people are gonna, like our views are, we have less concurrent viewers today than we have in the past few days. | ||
| We always do on Thursdays. | ||
| But I'm like, maybe it's because I'm on Crowder, and people are like, I'm gonna watch Tim on Crowder, because that'll be fun. | ||
| Tim is taking people away from us. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's all right. | ||
| I'm competing with myself. | ||
| Ah, dude. | ||
| All right, let's see what we got here. | ||
| Wolf Spain says, Hey Tim, if you were to buy a gun, would you go ahead and buy it or would you go to a gun range to learn how to use it properly first? | ||
| Well, of course I'd go to a range. | ||
| And I did when we were covering, when I was covering a story in Ferguson about the riots and everything, I thought it would be appropriate to actually go to a range, talk to people and fire a weapon so that I could get a general, just a little feel for like, you know, I don't think it was appropriate. | ||
| Well, I'll put it this way. | ||
| People who don't know anything about guns trying to report on guns is ridiculous. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| So the bare minimum was like, I'll go to a range, and I had really, really good precision, and I had bad accuracy. | ||
| So when I aimed for the center of the target, I missed, but I nailed the crotch ten times in a row. | ||
| And so, but no, this is a good thing. | ||
| The guy, I can't remember what he said, but he explained to me what I was doing wrong. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like I was, you know, I was like tensing up. | ||
| So I was like pointing before I'd pull the trigger, the gun would tilt down. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But he was like, you're, you're able to hit in the same area over and over again. | ||
| You just need to correct for, you know, what you're doing when you like you pull you something like that. | ||
| I can't remember. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This was like six years ago. | ||
| And me, I've spent time in Texas. | ||
| So I know what I'm doing with a gun. | ||
| By osmosis. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| I went to a... Fairly accurate. | ||
| There was an event at DEFCON, the Hacker Convention, every year. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| They do, I forget what it's called, but they bring out all these crazy guns. | ||
| It was awesome. | ||
| They got in the middle of the desert. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| And I got to watch, like, this dude had a belt-fed, I could be wrong because I know very little about guns, but it was like, I think it was a belt-fed, like, old World War II 762 or something like that. | ||
| Like, it had a huge belt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my goodness. | |
| And it was massive! | ||
| It was one of those. | ||
| Oh my gosh, that's so cool. | ||
| And I brought a drone because what I wanted to do was fly the drone, have it carry a target and then have them just go at it. | ||
| And they were like, well, drone gets it right. | ||
| And I was like, I'm down. | ||
| Well, the drone, the drone was broken a little bit, but still flew. | ||
| Okay, so the the problem was that the controller was broken it could still go up and down Okay, and so I was like it's busted man. | ||
| I can't do anything with it There's no warranty or anything and I was like obviously I don't want you to break it But if it broke and then I tried to fly it and then I broke the propeller So I'm like let's lift this target up the weight when it | ||
| was going up the the This the strings I had tied to it. Yeah, we're slightly off | ||
| So it went up it tilted from the weight lifting it and then Flipped and then crashed and the propellers broke and then | ||
| I couldn't fly it anymore So I was like you guys can keep it like it works, but yeah, | ||
| I figured out that's cool But it's cool like yeah, so the videos on my main channel | ||
| from a few years ago And it's like they had all of these different kinds of guns | ||
| It was crazy And they were doing they were doing like a speed shooting | ||
| contest where there's like five There's a post with like five targets. Yeah, and you have | ||
| to like ting ting ting ting cool stuff. Yeah Do you ever see the Keanu Reeves doing? Yeah, dude | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| That dude knows what he's doing. | ||
| Yeah, he does. | ||
|
unidentified

| Thanks, man. | ||
| I will look it up. | ||
| DarkRenji says, Good evening, guys. | ||

|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| What's going on in Ecuador? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| All right, we got here. | ||
| Joseph Kessler says, Hey Beanie Brigade, I sent a link to the TimKest IRL Instagram full of compiled statistics and data about COVID infection rates, number of people dying with previous conditions, et cetera, by country too. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| I want to see that. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Indivisual says they delayed the last of us too. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Isn't, isn't, isn't that the, like people were complaining cause it went like social justice-y or something. | ||
| Did it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think it's like, uh... The second game? | ||
| Yeah, that's the one about the little girl who, like, and the zombies. | ||
| I didn't know there were zombies. | ||
| The Last of Us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Isn't that the one where, like... I'm thinking of something different, maybe. | ||
| Yeah, like the fungus takes over their brains. | ||
| I never played it, but I heard it was really good. | ||
| Does appear that they went in a leftward direction the last of us two is not meant to be fun says Neil Druckmann what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| What? | ||
| Why would I buy it? | ||
| Why would you buy it? | ||

| No. | ||
| It's a chore. | ||
| Apparently. | ||
| I don't want to do video game chores. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| I never liked it. | ||
| Yeah, no thanks. | ||
| So what's happening in Ecuador is bodies are piling up in the streets. | ||
| from coronavirus yeah oh man that's that's you know what i really want to do can we figure out if uh i don't want to start the world on fire is public domain yet i will look it up is it a great song i mean i could play it no because if it's not public domain then they'll turn the stream off they'll disable audio just because i'm covering it it would be oh you played it on the guitar i can actually play the song i think that's fine I would think so. | ||
| But it's from 1938. | ||
| It's a great song. | ||
| So good thing you mentioned that because things published 1924 or earlier. | ||
| Including those voluntary placed in public domain. | ||
| I gotta wait 14 years to be able to play that music. | ||
| So for those that aren't familiar, it's the song from Fallout 3. | ||
| Sing it! | ||
| No. | ||
| Or 76 is also in 76. | ||
| Oh, is it really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |

unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Well, John Terry says, Tim needs a Zeppelin engineered t-shirt. | ||
| I have spoken. | ||
| I mean, yeah, I'm down. | ||
| That'd be funny. | ||
| I dig it. | ||
| Like me with like goggles on and I'm like, you know, pulling like a Zeppelin flying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's cool. | |
| The next thing, we got the UFO. | ||
| We got the earth. | ||
| Then we'll have a little Zeppelin over here that looks like it's floating above the earth. | ||
| We can get it like spinning around. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be so cool. | ||
| Oh my, Chuck Morris says Soylent Jesus is people. | ||
| It's people. | ||
| Well, it's person. | ||
| I actually never saw that movie. | ||
| Soylent Green? | ||
| Is that the name of the movie? | ||
| I don't know, but I'm pretty sure the whole Soylent Green thing is like the very, very last scene. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| So it's not like the movie is entirely... I don't know. | ||
| I need to see it. | ||
| I've never seen it, but I know exactly what they're talking about. | ||
| You ever see Logan's run? | ||
| No. | ||
| That's the one where they have the light in their hand, and when they turn 30, it flashes before they turn 30, and once they turn 30, it turns red, and they get executed. | ||
| Oh, because no one's over 30, right. | ||
| Yeah, that reminds me of a really funny joke that Family Guy did, where they did a callback, or whatever it's called, a cutaway gag. | ||
| And it was like every 80s sci-fi movie ever, and it was very much so. | ||
| They're running through a red desert wearing weird suits, and then it's like a guy and a woman, and he's like, we have to escape the corporation! | ||
| And then the woman stops running, and he's like, what are you doing? | ||
| And then she shoots him, and then he's like, why? | ||
| And then she pulls her face off, and she's a robot, and it goes boing, boing, boing, and it zooms out. | ||
| Yeah, they nailed it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's wonderful. | |
| Front Hole Enthusiast says, while it's true Tim Pool did not build a Zeppelin while eating ice cream, his true reports say he did indeed build a Zeppelin. | ||
| Debunked. | ||
| Not while eating ice cream. | ||
| Debunked. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Cliff says, you're multidimensional. | ||
| You're here and on Crowder now. | ||
| I know. | ||
| How does he do it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's magic. | |
| Well, there are actually more than one of me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Twin Zeppelin. | ||
| Twins. | ||
| Twin Pool. | ||
| Kaj says, Tim, that Fallout song won't be in the public domain until 2067. | ||
| Have you heard of the VRI contact lenses developed by MojoVision? | ||
| They seem very interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh, that sounds cool. | |
| Look it up. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| STFUFFS says, God damn it, Super Chat was refusing to let me post. | ||
| Well, we gotcha. | ||
| Greg Morgan says, how about a picture of Lydia spinning on the spaceship until you get a camera? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just cut out a little picture. | ||
| A little alien. | ||
| Just spinning around. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Alex Aiello says, I haven't seen the shows uploaded this morning. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They're all up. | ||
| Everything's up. | ||
| Promise. | ||
| Some people are asking me about the main live stream, and that's actually not listed. | ||
| So you won't find that in our videos. | ||
| If you want to get the link to the show, you have to subscribe and hit the notification bell. | ||
| YouTube is supposed to send you the link, and what's kind of annoying is that they don't. | ||
| We just need to make sure we post the unlisted link in the community section. | ||
| The reason we're doing this is that when you have a channel and you have a two hour long video next to a ten minute video, People will click the two-hour-long video, especially on a podcast with a live opening, and they X out right away, and then YouTube says, whoa, people don't want to watch this, and they punish the entirety of your channel for this. | ||
| So by putting the full-length podcast unlisted, only the people who know what they're getting and want to watch, so it doesn't destroy and disrupt the rest of the channel. | ||
| YouTube's system is stupid. | ||
| Robert Franklin says, Police story has changed too many times. | ||
| They murdered Duncan for owning guns. | ||
| Maryland doesn't like you, and you cannot change my mind. | ||
| Jeez. | ||
| Well, it's not the first time. | ||
| The story I pulled up from 2018, there was another story from Maryland. | ||
| They keep doing this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah, don't move to Maryland, man. | ||
| What's up with Maryland, man? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not cool. | |
| We're right on the line, too. | ||
| Chris Cronin says, His name was Duncan Lemp. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Eggman says, If Lydia is your Jamie and skateboarding is your MMA, what is your DMT? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Let me think. | ||
| It's a secret sauce that he mixes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| He has his own recipe. | ||
| And he puts it on everything. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is so good. | |
| He puts it on everything. | ||
| I'll pull out a bottle, and people will be like, what is that? | ||
| And I'll be like, it's a very secret recipe. | ||
| He showed me. | ||
| I'm only going to tell you one time, so pay attention. | ||
| Because if you don't listen, you'll miss it, and you'll never know how to make it. | ||
| And they're like, OK, what is it? | ||
| I'm like, first, you take mayonnaise, and then you mix in barbecue sauce. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's it. | |
| But I do put it on almost everything. | ||
| It's so good, guys. | ||
| Try it. | ||
| Yeah, well, it tastes like Chick-fil-A sauce. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it does. | |
| That's basically what it is. | ||
| But people are confused, like, what is it? | ||
| I'm like, dude, I just put mayo in my barbecue sauce bottle. | ||
| It's not even a big deal. | ||
| I don't even know why you guys bring it up. | ||
| Because you don't drink. | ||
| You don't do anything DMT related. | ||
| So it's like, what do you do? | ||
| You eat food. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| We got to figure out what we can say. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| There's no DMT. | ||
| But yeah, skateboarding is like our AMA. | ||
| MMA. | ||
| Yeah, but MMA is super popular. | ||
| Skateboarding is too, but skateboarding is nowhere near as popular as MMA. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| You don't get like primetime pay-per-view street league skateboarding. | ||
| economy and it wouldn't it would never go there now | ||
| maybe in like 1999 Tony Hawk does the 900 and all of a sudden | ||
| video games were you know it had it's time | ||
| you know what I think it is though it's because I think skateboarding is | ||
| entering the Olympics And the teams have been set up. | ||
| Now it's postponed, but I think that'll change things. | ||
| I think Olympic skateboarding is going to make skateboarders extremely wealthy. | ||
| I think you're right. | ||
| Ridiculously wealthy. | ||
| I mean, look at Naija, man. | ||
| He's got, driving around with Lamborghinis. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dude's rolling in and out. | ||
| There's like a small handful of skateboarders who are all extremely rich. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, granted, he's incredible. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| pro athlete so clean at all the stricken he's he might be one of the better best skateboarders on | ||
| the planet early me and i'm one x games like | ||
| for five years or so it's just that that might not be accurate when he competes | ||
| it seems like he refuses to lose and so someone to a crazy trick and i'll be a little bit of | ||
| a slow down He's like, I could do that. | ||
| He's like, I'm gonna do better than that. | ||
| What makes him so good is he's good under pressure. | ||
| It's like if you put the camera on him, he's like, I'm gonna land this trick then. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Poof, and he lands it. | ||
| It's like, geez. | ||
| Chris Joslin's tre flip at El Toro. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Tre flip heard around the world, man. | ||
| We got some good skating in today, too. | ||
| Yeah, I had fun. | ||
| It was a nice out day. | ||

| I landed a half cab flip for the first time ever. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| That was nice. | ||
| It felt good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What I like to do is like, you know, I've been skating for so long, I've done most of these tricks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's like every year, I mentioned this before, like every year I go through a new like, okay, I have to check mark all the tricks I haven't done yet to make sure I'm going through all of them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You got that feeble, that long feeble right on the ramp. | ||
| That was pretty good. | ||
| So actually, you know what? | ||
| That was the first time I've ever done that too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's, that's a weird grind to do on a ramp. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was weird. | ||
| I got caught up a lot, but I saw you trying to do that feeble on the rail and I was like, I want to do that. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| And I did! | ||
| Felt great. | ||

| He says, I used to have a drug problem and it helped. | ||
| LSD also made my dreams more vivid and showed flaws in my personality. | ||
| It's nice that some states are actually starting to do research into this and it's wonderful because it actually can help people. | ||
| You ever see that libertarian t-shirt that says something like, I wanna pay for my gay wedding with bitcoin while smoking pot and firing my guns or something like that? | ||
| Yeah, I have seen that. | ||
| It's like, where is the politician for that stuff? | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I mean, but how many people agree with that? | ||
| Yeah, I guess it's the problem. | ||
| You know why the general libertarian, whatever you want to call it, they're not all unified in terms of policy completely. | ||
| But I'll tell you this, I'd rather have a right libertarian kind of system where it's just sort of more of a free market free-for-all than anything else if I had to, because you can build whatever system you want within it. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. So if like our country was extremely libertarian, it's like, okay, well, | ||
| I will set up my own whatever I want with my own rules. It's something Ron Paul said. I think it | ||
| was Ron Paul. He said, so nothing is stopping any socialist from creating their own socialist town | ||
| and creating their socialist rules and creating a commune. | ||
| Why aren't they doing it? And some actually are. Yeah. | ||
| There's a very famous commune, and you gotta apply to get in, and they do it right. | ||
| They all farm, they all work really, really hard. | ||
| And I think people don't realize, the reason why they don't do it, the people who claim they want it, is because they don't realize you work all day, every day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're lazy. | ||
| We Americans are wealthy, fat, and happy. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Very much so. | ||
| Michael Connor says, Hospital I work for notified us that we'll be using PTO this month as it comes out of a separate bank. | ||
| I'm expecting layoff soon, corporate side. | ||
| This is the apocalypse. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| PTO? | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Pay time off. | ||
| I think. | ||
| But check this out. | ||
| People are saying, we can't, you know, there's a viral meme. | ||
| It's got like 150,000 retweets on Twitter and it's the trolley problem. | ||
| I saw that. | ||
| The trolley is on one track and there's people and it says, you can stop the trolley at any time, but it would cause a loss of profits for the trolley corporation. | ||
| And it is funny, but they don't seem to understand that if there's no economy, there are no medical workers. | ||
| That's also true. | ||
| So if the hospital can't pay for anything, they run out of money, why would a nurse or doctor continue working if they can't pay their bills, eat food, or pay their rent? | ||
| They'll have to move on to survive. | ||
| So they're risking their lives for nothing, then. | ||
| Some will. | ||
| Many of them will, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| It's respectable. | ||
| They're there to save lives regardless. | ||
| That's why they started that job in the first place. | ||
| Here's the other issue, though. | ||
| Even if we do give them money, if you can't buy anything with it, Why would you keep working there? | ||
| So it's an issue of, look, the government can keep printing money, and eventually the money becomes worthless. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's not gonna work. | ||
| The economy's gotta reopen. | ||
| It's really annoying to me to see, like, there was a viral thread, the Young Turks guy was pushing it out, where a guy says, this is proof that if they really wanted to, they could do universal healthcare. | ||
| And I'm like, bro, a one-time $6 trillion infusion is not the same as a consistent $30 trillion or $3 trillion infusion every year that dramatically inflates or deflates our currency and cause it to be worthless. | ||
| People would be racing. | ||
| We've seen what countries do when the money machine just keeps printing out, and then they have bags of money that nobody wants. | ||
| All right, Carl Schneider says, Tim, don't forget you're appearing on Crowder's show in a few minutes. | ||
| Oh, yes, I am. | ||
| What time is it? | ||
| All right, we're on Crowder now. | ||
| David Campbell says, it was prerecorded. | ||
| Lydia's cam is taking too long, so I'm just going to pretend she is a talking globe UFO, depending on the week. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Or the subject. | ||
| John McCloud says, have a 20 face mask order from the manager of the inn inside the gated community I guard after he saw the mask I was wearing that I made. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| John Smith says, PSA, 4 billion in aid to Israel are military vouchers. | ||
| They can only spend it on American military equipment. | ||
| This is so Israel is dependent on U.S. | ||
| and won't make close ties with Russia or China. | ||
| Not nefarious. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| And the money that's spent on U.S. | ||
| equipment is made, to a certain degree, it's spent in the United States. | ||
| People don't realize that as well when they complain about, like, wasting money overseas. | ||
| We definitely do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But when research is being done in this country, when engineering is being done in development, It's people here, you know, who are paid to do it. | ||
| Kevin Thompson said, Tim, watch Beastars. | ||
| All right. | ||
| ML says, please consider changing the font or color of IRL thumbnails. | ||
| It would help to differentiate on my feed. | ||
| Y'all rock, though. | ||
| We have been talking about that. | ||
| We need to figure out. | ||
| I actually thought about that today, too. | ||
| And I was like, maybe we should do that. | ||
| But it's interesting that There's a shadow on them, but on my channels, I always fade the image so that behind the text it's just black. | ||

So you can read it. | |
| Yeah, I don't fade the image. | ||
| It gets really confusing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So we have to fix that. | ||
| Jessica Cora says, I've lost all purpose. | ||
| Went from working 80 hours a week to sitting at home. | ||
| What can we do to stay sane? | ||
| Build something? | ||
| I love crochet stuff. | ||
| Ooh, I know, I know. | ||
| Take something that people need, put a clock in it. | ||
| Right? | ||
| People need to know what time it is. I'm not kidding. It's an old joke from the 90s. It's like a Seinfeld joke. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true. | |
| They actually used to do that though. | ||
| It reminds me of, uh, Zooby tweeted something. He said, you know, I'm reading a | ||
| lot that people are bored. | ||
| You know, why are people bored? Have they reached all of their life goals? | ||
| Because if so, okay, I guess you can be bored. | ||
| But if not, what are you waiting for? | ||
| Now, you worked 80 hours a week, so obviously you are used to working a lot. | ||
| I don't know what field you were in, but what's your passion project? | ||
| What's your grand goals? | ||
| Maybe you can start working towards that. | ||
| So, hey, Jesus, life coach. | ||
| Hey, I'm going off something Zuby said. | ||
| It's true though. | ||
| I don't agree with everything he says, but he does have some good stuff. | ||
| Well, if you don't have a violin, you can't. | ||
| I mean, it's hard. | ||
| Play the spoons. | ||
| Learn to play the spoons. | ||
| Learn to play a comb. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I'm sure there's something you can work on. | ||
| You can order stuff online still. | ||
| Amazon's still working. | ||
| You can, yeah, for sure. | ||
| I mean, don't spend money. | ||
| That's not a life goal. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| You should spend money. | ||
| Sure, spend money. | ||
| I'm talking about like a life goal, you know? | ||
| Something a little more... Long-term. | ||
| You know, spending money probably doesn't have... Write a book. | ||
| Sure, I mean, if you had goals to write a book, this is the perfect opportunity to do that. | ||

| Fearless Soldier. | ||
| Aren't you supposed to be live with Steven Crowder? | ||
| I am. | ||
| I don't know if people know that he does pre-recorded interviews. | ||
| And I'm like, I don't know if that's an issue. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Like, we did it yesterday. | ||
| Well, the cat's out of the bag. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I was just like, I guess... We were talking about it before we went live. | ||
| I was like, oh, dude, I'm on Crowder tonight. | ||
| And, you know, Adam was like, oh, so that means, like, what, you have to do the show? | ||
| I'm like, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Like, I'm on and I'm on this show. | ||
| Like, both at the same time. | ||
| Yeah, I thought that you were gonna actually, like, be on the show. | ||
| So you're gonna be like, all right, for the next 20 minutes, we'll, we're gonna, you're gonna see a blank screen. | ||
| We're gonna cut to just Soy Jesus and the guitar. | ||
| And then I'll just like sit there playing for 10, 20, 15 minutes. | ||
| ten twenty fifteen and it's really a that that that that that that that that | ||
| alone that's not All right. | ||
| Bobcat says, why are ERPOs allowed to be served in the wee hours of the morning, even ignoring their blatant violation of due process? | ||
| It's bad tactics. | ||
| So that's the extreme risk protection orders. | ||
| Dude, seriously. | ||
| Why? | ||
| What is the point? | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| And why don't they issue, at first, a warning saying, you know, uh, you have, you have, you have been warned in the next, you know, 24 hours or whatever, a war officer will be arriving. | ||
| Please, you know, So they at least know not to shoot the police, not to have a shootout. | ||
| Or shouldn't. | ||
| That's what blows me away. | ||
| It's like, as far as I'm concerned, anyone who owns a gun has it for protection. | ||
| For the most part. | ||
| So if someone comes into their house, they're probably going to shoot them. | ||
| Think about how crazy it is. | ||
| What are they expecting? | ||
| It's like they want to be shot or shot at so they can shoot people. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| I don't understand it at all. | ||
| Well, it's because humans are dumb. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Yes. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| Thank you, Tim. | ||
| I'll put it this way. | ||
| George Carlin said, think about how stupid the average person is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Now realize half of them are stupider than that. | ||
| It's that half of them stupider than that that hear something that sounds like it makes sense without investigating and just say, do it. | ||
| And so you see these big news stories of like, you know, mass tragic events. | ||
| And no one actually investigates or looks into it. | ||
| They have an emotional knee-jerk reaction. | ||
| And then some politician wanting to get elected just says, Yes, we will ban them. | ||
| No one knows anything about them. | ||
| No one looks at any of the stats. | ||
| Handguns are used in more shootings than rifles, but rifles are what they want to ban. | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Not only that, but they ban things based on cosmetics. | ||
| It's just politicians. | ||
| They want the keys to the castle. | ||
| They have no idea what they're talking about. | ||
| There's no legitimate argument. | ||
| They also want the cash from the lobbyists. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's a big thing, too. | ||
| Makes no sense. | ||
| The weird thing to me about, like, the anti-NRA argument is, like, you know, you see these activists saying, like, we're coming for you, NRA! | ||
| It's like, the NRA is a non—it's like, they're—my understanding is they're a nonprofit, and they function based off of a ton of members. | ||
| It's not like there's an evil, you know, Dr. Doom, Going, now that I've convinced all of these people to be dupes, I will do whatever I want. | ||
| No, it's all of the people contacting the NRA and saying, here's what we want you to do. | ||
| And they're like, yes. | ||
| It's like a coalition of Americans. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'd be more concerned about the government doing these things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
|

Dude. | |
| How long do you think it is until somebody's violated quarantine and they get killed? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh gosh. | |
| Not long. | ||
| I don't want to go down that path. | ||
| And it's not going to be because they're violating quarantine. | ||
| Someone will be violating quarantine. | ||
| There's going to be some cop who gets scared, thinks he has a weapon. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| It'll happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| I see it happening. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Trent, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Student of History says... Uh-oh. | ||
| We just got a super chat jump. | ||
| I love when they do this. | ||
| Super jump. | ||
| Super jump. | ||
| And now we're starting to get inundated. | ||
| Warp speed. | ||
| Student of History says, You know what's really challenging? | ||
| raids are going to get people killed. | ||
| Take people at their word, my cold dead hands means it. | ||
| The people who pass these laws should be at the front of the stack. | ||
| You know what's really challenging is like, do we just say, well it's the law, we have | ||
| to obey it? | ||
| At what point do you say it's an unjust law that must be resisted? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| More importantly, if I said right now, asserted a position on when and how you should resist, YouTube would delete this in two seconds. | ||
| Which means the default will always be media pundits and personalities saying, no, no, the law is just, you must always follow it. | ||
| Nah, I mean, there's a line for me, I'll say right now, unjust laws should not be supported in any capacity. | ||
| And I talk about this all the time with like the Extinction Rebellion people and other activists who get arrested. | ||
| There's a line for me, like if you go around smashing windows starting fire, like you should be arrested. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| And I'll tell you this, if you block a road and hold up a sign, you should also be arrested. | ||
| But that, to me, is socially acceptable. | ||
| Civil disobedience that's disruptive and non-violent, I think, is what we need to do to push the boundaries of certain things. | ||
| And there are certain things that should not be illegal. | ||
| There's a guy named Moxie Marlin Spike. | ||
| He's a famous hacker. | ||
| And I was asking him about the problem of surveillance states. | ||
| And he said, if the government knew everything you were doing all the time, They would, you smoke pot, and then they show up and they arrest you, right? | ||
| But we're now starting to legalize pot, like, recreationally in all these different states. | ||
| How would we know that we want it to be, you know, legal recreationally unless people were actually smoking it illegally? | ||
| And I said, that's a really good point. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| So right. | ||
| If nobody was smoking because the government said no, and they had a surveillance state, then we would eventually just default into harder and harder authoritarianism. | ||
| There would never be an opportunity for repealing laws or decriminalizing things. | ||
| It would always just get worse. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then eventually people are sitting in a gray cubicle, wearing a gray jumpsuit, their heads shaved, just like shaking, wondering, like they move their hand to grab a scissors. | ||
| And then the cop's like, ah! | ||
| Got you. | ||
| That's an improper use of scissors. | ||
| Scissor grabber. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know a cop could pull you over for stopping at a yellow light? | ||
| And a cop could pull you over for going through a yellow light. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| I figured that out. | ||
| Right. | ||
| How's this supposed to work? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because stopping abruptly is negligence. | ||
| can cause an accident and trying to speed up to catch a yellow light is... | ||
| Oh, you started speeding. | ||
| It's a law. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And depending on jurisdiction, it's like there's literally nothing you can do. | ||
| If they want to, it's illegal. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Welcome to the future, especially with what's going on with the coronavirus. | ||

| Yep. | ||
| Never settle. | ||
| Always fight. | ||

| I mean, legally, you know. | ||
| If someone comes at you, you defend yourself. | ||

| Yeah. | ||
| After the apocalypse is over and we're, you know, we're Mad Maxing it up. | ||

| Nathan says, a guy I work with said the government should suspend the whole constitution to give them the ability to get a hold of this virus. | ||

| Harry Potter says there's already cameras in all of the TVs, Tim. | ||
| Well, it's a funny thing happened. | ||
| I went to... I was at Best Buy with Luke. | ||
| Luke of We Are Change. | ||
| You guys might know him. | ||
| And he was like, I don't want to get a smart TV because, you know, you never know what they put in. | ||
| There could be cameras or Wi-Fi or something. | ||
| And the Best Buy guy was like, oh yeah, dude, you have no idea. | ||
| And I was like, wait, what? | ||
| The Best Buy guy's telling me this? | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| Yeah, Luke was right. | ||
| I was like... Luke is right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| But the Best Buy guy was like, yeah, dude, like I've been reading all this stuff. | ||
| Which TV did you want again? | ||
| And I'm like, The smart TV and he's like, yeah, so anyway, there's like microphones, you know, and they're like It's true that there's there's microphones in them though, right? | ||
| Cuz it's like the their voice activation echo speakers that right be like, hey put this show on and they can do that Those things are always listening. | ||
| Yeah, that's a fact. | ||
| I know we did that segment on it. | ||
| Yep They they like we did a segment on it. | ||
| They lie about it but they use weasel words to say things like you'll ask them and Is it always recording? | ||
| And instead of saying yes or no, they'll say, well, the, you know, whatever device activates upon saying its name, and then it begins recording. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How does it activate? | |
| You didn't answer my question. | ||
| Is it always listening? | ||
| Well, you see the device activates only when you say its name. | ||
| That's not what I asked you. | ||
| Answer the question. | ||
| The device only eats ice cream when you're saying its name. | ||
| If you said that the Amazon or Google device, they're always listening. | ||
| Snopes would write, is it true that Amazon's device is always listening while you're eating ice cream? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No, it's not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it'll be like, no, it'll say false. | |
| And it'll say, there's nothing to suggest that the act of eating ice cream would trigger this to record anything you were saying. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But then people just see the false. | ||
| And at the bottom it's like, well, it is true. | ||
| It's always on and recording everything you say. | ||
| There's no correlation between you and ice cream. | ||
| You're not saying anything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So it's not listening. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| No, it is always on. | ||
| It's always listening. | ||
| That's how it activates when you say its name. | ||
| I don't know about cameras. | ||
| You know, I didn't, I don't know about that, but I know there's like, there's microphones in them. | ||
| Don't like it. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Talbot says, did y'all see DeFranco peed off today? | ||
| No. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Peed off? | ||
| Philip DeFranco got ticked off about something? | ||
| Did he? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Oh, I don't know, DM Ed. | ||
| This is news to me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So when that whole thing happened with Jim Acosta. | ||
| What thing? | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| And the woman in the White House, where he went to grab her microphone. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I watched that in great detail and it was insane. | ||
| They were claiming that Trump was sharing a doctored video because frames were missing and it's like just completely made up. | ||
| What it looked like to me was that the woman was holding the mic and Acosta grabbed it from her. | ||
| But it was one of these things where it was like, is the dress blue and black or white and gold or something? | ||
| I cannot agree. | ||
| Yeah, and Philip DeFranco messaged me and he was like, do you really think that he grabbed this? | ||
| Like, I can't believe it. | ||
| Just completely stunned that, you know, and I was like, that's crazy that we both see this completely differently. | ||
| Looking at the same thing, right. | ||
| But I will add, I like Phil. | ||
| I think he's a cool dude. | ||
| I think his show's fine. | ||
| But he was on the wrong side of the Covington thing. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, you know, nobody's perfect. | ||
| I'm not trying to drag the guy. | ||
| Let's see, where are we at? | ||
| Chant says, can we get an anime character on the table? | ||
| Oh, I do! | ||
| I've got One Punch Man and I've got Android 18. | ||
| We could, yeah, we could, we could, oh! | ||
| We might be able to get. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| I don't want to crowd the table, all right? | ||
| No, no, no, but what if we put One Punch Man on the UFO so he's spinning around? | ||
| Well, he'd get in my close-up shot. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Oh, we can't block Adam out. | ||
| But he's a little. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It would be cool. | |
| Oh, he's like tiny? | ||
| Yeah, he's a little thing. | ||
| We'll have to play around with it. | ||
| I think having her face is way funnier than having One Punch Man on there. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| We could put One Punch Man on the globe. | ||
| On top of the world. | ||
| But he wouldn't spin with the globe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, boo. | |
| Oh, no, he wouldn't. | ||
| No. | ||
| That would look weird. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| Andrew Hoft says, hey Tim, in your honest opinion, do you think the collapse of civilization will be a slow and painful process or a quick and less painful process? | ||
| Also, giving everything going with COVID-19, you should start coming with good names for your beanie babies. | ||
| I think the apocalypse is going to be, it's like a rollercoaster. | ||
| You're slowly getting to the peak, and then you slowly, and then boom, it's going to be crazy. | ||
| Dude, the post office is shutting down. | ||
| Not completely. | ||
| But people have found out, like they go outside, their mail's not there. | ||
| And then they call and they're like, we've suspended delivery to you. | ||
| So the point I was making earlier is you've got record gun sales. | ||
| You've got 6.6 million unemployment claims. | ||
| In the past two weeks, 10 million unemployment claims. | ||
| That completely shatters. | ||
| So what people were saying when the first report came out of 3.3 million, they were like, yes, it's high, but it's not the greatest it's ever been. | ||
| You see, because it all happened at once, people don't seem to realize that throughout the Great Recession, which was, you know, 10 or 12 months, that unemployment claims actually totaled this, you know, 7 million number. | ||
| The chart is crazy. | ||
| Two weeks. | ||
| Two weeks. | ||
| 10 million total claims. | ||
| That chart is crazy. | ||
| So I don't know if that, I think it might be repeat claims for sure. | ||
| But I could be wrong about this. | ||
| Some people trying to get it again because the first one didn't go through. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| My understanding is that every week you call and you say, I would like to, you | ||
| know, unemployed. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| But I don't know what they mean by that. | ||
| Yeah, because every week you're supposed to call to update and they ask you questions. | ||
| It could be new claims, so it could be 10 million people. | ||
| But you add all that together, and with, you know, people buying guns, you know, like crazy, mass unemployment, the hospital workers are starting to get pay suspended and shut off. | ||
| If we can't even have hospital workers in the hospitals, then COVID's gonna wipe everyone out anyway. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| But the post office, This is the first crack in the government. | ||
| Not necessarily the first crack, but it's a crack in the government. | ||
| And what people don't seem to get about government, it's all based on confidence. | ||
| If you had no confidence that the money in your hand would get you something, you wouldn't value it. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| So if people are not coming to a point where the post office, they have no confidence in getting their deliveries, they stop using it. | ||
| If people don't have confidence in their local police department, they stop calling. | ||
| They stop relying on any of it. | ||
| Or they stop abiding by the laws. | ||
| If I don't think, you know, I shouldn't say I, but if someone's like, the cops aren't going to enforce anything anyway, then they do whatever they want. | ||
| I'm gonna take things into my own hands for good and bad. | ||
| Not even about that, but like, oh, I can't do a U-turn here. | ||
| Well, there's no cops anymore. | ||
| I'll do a U-turn. | ||
| What's the big deal? | ||
| And then that's when things start to... We'll see how it plays out. | ||

| Sup, bro? | ||
| I find it funny. | ||
| Independent women goes out of the window these days. | ||
| Just being honest, this pandemic is not going to be fun for a lot of women because since a lot of men refuse to marry. | ||
| Well, it's one of the things we definitely talked about that... | ||
| It is not women. | ||
| It is feminists. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I am perfectly happy. | ||
| I'm perfectly comfortable. | ||
| I'm not upset at all about this. | ||
| Like, I don't get it. | ||
| Sorry, I'll let you carry on. | ||
| Social justice is... It's a luxury politics. | ||
| It is, yeah. | ||
| You know, this... You can't go out in March for... And it is kind of scary to a certain degree because people fighting for civil rights has been a good thing in most circumstances. | ||
| I say most because these authoritarian weirdos who claim to be fighting for it are not. | ||
| But like, when you're at war, they suspend civil liberties. | ||
| And it's scary. | ||
| And I don't know if I agree with it, but I think it was Glenn Greenwald and Kyle Kulinski, they're very progressive, were tweeting about the begrudging feeling where you have a desire for state authority to protect us from the virus while being a very anti-authoritarian, liberty-minded individual. | ||
| I don't know what the solution is. | ||
| Because why should I just trust the government on all of this stuff? | ||
| I mean, it's easy now. | ||
| Like, watching what's going on in other countries, you don't gotta worry about what the U.S. | ||
| is... the U.S. | ||
| is lying to you because it's, like, happening everywhere. | ||
| But if it was something else where it's only happening in the U.S., it's... I don't blindly trust anybody, you know? | ||

| Right. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| But for real, like... No. | ||
| So if someone was like breaking into my house, my first instinct would not be to like to grab the weapon and go charging and be like, it would be to like, yeah, surprise attack. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And to go for like a disabling move like a headlock or something. | ||
| Yeah, and take them down. | ||
| I think you'd kind of just be like, Yeah, I would be really like tactical with it. Yeah, and | ||
| Lydia would have a machine gun like Metal Gear Solid Was an awesome game. I did pretty heavy back in the day. | ||

Yeah, man. He's ready I love this subject and I got really good aim don't mess | |
| with me Okay. | ||
| Wired writes, this is not the apocalypse you were looking for. | ||
| Pop culture has been inundated with catastrophe porn for decades. | ||
| None of it has prepared us for our new reality. | ||
| And they have this picture, I guess it's like a zombie hand coming out of the dirt. | ||
| But yes, here's what they say. | ||
| The shock itself is shocking. | ||
| Shouldn't we have been more prepared? | ||
| Hasn't culture been drenched in catastrophe porn for decades? | ||
| The bomb, the breakdown, the fallout, the senseless armies of shambling corpses, all the nightmares of dead generations sliding out of our screens? | ||
| For more than a decade, young and youngish people have been living in anticipatory grief for everything we know, but somehow this is different. | ||
| The idea of imminent, annihilating catastrophe has been part of the collective unconscious for as long as we've had one. | ||
| From the end date of the Mayan calendar, to the Epic of Gilgamesh, from the Genesis Flood to the Book of Revelations, humans have been haunted by the idea of the end of everything for a very, very long time. | ||
| Lately, it's been our default popular entertainment. | ||
| Raised with the threat of global warming, in the teeth of a financial crisis, we sat stunned and exhausted watching our civilization die on screen again. | ||
| And again. | ||
| More post-apocalyptic entertainment has come out in the beginning of this century than in the entirety of the last one. | ||
| The Day After Tomorrow, Zombieland, The Walking Dead, The Road, Children of Men, The Last of Us. | ||
| The same story again and again. | ||
| Somewhere between wish fulfillment and trauma rehearsal, getting us used to the idea that the future was cancelled, that someday, soon, everything would collapse, and there would be nothing left, and nothing we could do about it. | ||
| You know, I love, I love this, I love this. | ||
| Everybody who is, you know, watching these films, and pretending like it would be fun. | ||
| And the sad reality was, For now, we're not roaming the streets, fighting over food, questioning the person in the gas station, asking them whose side they're on, or anything like that. | ||
| No, we still got some time. | ||
| It still feels like we have some semblance of the norm. | ||
| I think we're closer than we've ever been. | ||
| I agree with you completely. | ||
| But for now, it's the waiting I can't stand. | ||
| Either pull the trigger on the collapse of civilization, or let us get on with our boring routines. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| I think we are dangerously closer to it than we've ever been. | ||
| We've mentioned this before, and I think it's interesting that people glorify and fantasize about this stuff. | ||
| They couldn't handle it. | ||
| And none of those movies are the after side of it. | ||
| It's always right when it's happening, like, oh man, we gotta escape this volcano, or escape this tsunami wave, Right. | ||
| You know, travel south and it's like during the, you know, everything hitting the fan, you know, but then it's like, okay, then what? | ||
| Then what do you do? | ||
| You don't have seeds. | ||
| You don't have food. | ||
| You know, you got to find water somewhere, but it's like they don't, those, none of these movies are showing that part. | ||
| Like the, the real gritty part of life that is, is like people starving to death. | ||
| Cause it's not exciting. | ||
| It's eating each other. | ||
| Yeah, eating each other, straight up. | ||
| You don't understand how many people are on this planet. | ||
| New York's scary. | ||
| You know what the good thing about this going kind of slow is? | ||
| People getting out of New York. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| Because if the collapse happened overnight, people in New York would go full-on cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller in days. | ||
| No more food, no more water. | ||
| People will be swimming to get out. | ||
| There are going to be people who are going to be trapped. | ||
| They don't know where they can go, and they're going to be desperate. | ||
| There's going to be fighting. | ||
| There's going to be... Man, dude, New York is going to be literal hell. | ||
| Like, people with guns, looking for food, and you have a building in New York with, you know, 10 or 12 floors, and, like, several apartments on each floor, and they're going to be going methodically through each one. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Certain. | ||
| You live in the middle of nowhere. | ||
| You set up a couple of auto-defense turrets right around the property, and you turn them on, and you go to sleep. | ||
| Everything's good. | ||
| No, I'm kidding. | ||
| But you obviously have much less to worry about when you're surrounded by a lot less people. | ||
| I would really love to see how people would respond to a full on apocalyptic scenario. | ||
| Like how you could simulate that to see how humans react to it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point, because there's so much, like, the spectrum of, like, humanity-ending stuff could be anything, from, I don't know, a huge, crazy solar flare that completely, you know, wrecks us, a massive asteroid, super volcano, I don't know, I'm just rapping off the top of my head. | ||
| Here's some advice. | ||
| A microwave is a Faraday cage. | ||
| I think. | ||
| So jump in the microwave and close it and you're safe. | ||
| Put your phone. | ||
| So I actually know a lot of people who do this. | ||
| I don't know if this is legit, but I know people who have microwaves in their basement and they have a brand new cell phone in it. | ||
| Why? | ||
| But why? | ||
|

|
So that when the EMP hits... Oh, like it hasn't been used yet? | |
| Or with like, they preload apps and stuff on it. | ||
| So when the EMP hits and all the satellites are completely destroyed? | ||
| You will have the summation of human knowledge in your pocket and you will be king. | ||
| Oh, I see, okay. | ||
| You can download the manuals and stuff. | ||
| You can download Wikipedia, it's like seven gigs. | ||
| You can download survival guides, science, how to make wire, how to start fire, all that stuff. | ||
| I did get a survival guide and I was scrolling through it and it's amazing the amount of stuff that's on it. | ||
| It's pretty cool. | ||
| Think about how powerful a calculator is. | ||
| Just a calculator. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like that was a premise for I think, there was like a Justice League series | ||
| where, I can't remember what the guy's name is, Savage, sent a laptop, just a laptop, regular old laptop, | ||
| from like 2005 to himself during World War II. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And that simple bit of technology was so powerful compared to the rest of the world. | ||
| They were able to rapidly develop crazy weapons and completely win. | ||
| And it's, dude, if, uh, whatever happens, having a smartphone? | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| So I know, yeah, people will like, I know some people, they have like, you know, a little nook in their basement, they'll put a microwave in it, they'll put like, put stuff around it. | ||
| And I'm like, that might not be enough. | ||
| You might need more than that. | ||
| So what is the advantage of having a phone with this stuff loaded on it when you could have like a survival book? | ||
| You could have both. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| Well, I mean, obviously. | ||
| The book you just put on the shelf. | ||
| Your phone, the battery will run out before too long. | ||
| Get a solar panel. | ||
| I actually have a little backpack unfolding from Goal Zero, just like a, you know, you throw it out in the sun, you plug in, I have a little battery pack, you plug it in, I can charge my laptop, my phone. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| Yeah, it's awesome. | ||
|

|
It's great. | |
| I don't know if I told this story yet to you guys, but during Occupy Wall Street, someone donated farmland. | ||
| Did I tell you guys this story? | ||
| No, I don't think so. | ||
| Somebody donated farmland and this is like hearsay, so I know there's probably some Occupy people are going to be like, that's not true or whatever, but okay, whatever. | ||
| Here's what someone told me. | ||
| Someone donated farmland and a bunch of Occupy Wall Street people who wanted to get off the grid. | ||
| They didn't want to be a part of society and capitalism and like destruction of the planet. | ||
| So they went to move to a farm. | ||
| And guess how long they lasted? | ||
| Two days. | ||
| What did you guess? | ||
| Also two days. | ||
| You got caught in some slack. | ||
| It was about two weeks. | ||
| Two weeks? | ||
| Wow, that's impressive. | ||
| It is impressive. | ||
| Well, she took my answer, so I would have said a week. | ||
| You know why it didn't last that long? | ||
| Cause they're city dwellers and they're used to not having to work that hard. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| They're used to not having to work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I know some people with farms and I've actually done some farm work and it's like you got to get up early and start working. | ||
| You don't get to like chill, drink your coffee and like relax. | ||
| And then write a blog about Brad Pitt's junk for $50,000 a year. | ||
| Scroll through your Instagram feed. | ||
| It's like, no, no, no. | ||
| You got to get up and do. | ||
| Cause like pretty much the rule of thumb on a farm is you finish one chore, two more Prop up. | ||
| And it never ends. | ||
| Never. | ||
| This was about survivability farming. | ||
| The idea was you got off the grid and you were self-sustaining. | ||
| And it's like, now do you understand why you like oil so much? | ||
| And why you don't want that to go away. | ||
| Specialization. | ||
| I find it so remarkable that it's mostly people who live in big cities who benefit the most from Fossil fuels and machinery and technology who are the ones complaining about it. | ||
| Yeah, that's funny. | ||
| You know what they say? | ||
| People on the left say that from a point of privilege, equality looks like oppression. | ||
| Do you have any idea what would happen if you got your wish with shutting down fossil fuels like Greta wanted to do? | ||
| Dude, you would be like... No electricity, so no elevators. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now you've got to walk up those 17 flights of stairs. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like we use coal for electricity. | ||
| It's like more than half of our electricity. | ||
| Well, I think New York has nuclear power. | ||
| But they want to shut that down too. | ||
| Yeah, they do. | ||
| Dude, these people would not make it. | ||
| No. | ||
| You know... | ||
| What I was told about the farm thing with Occupy, they ended up leaving. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And I was asking somebody who knew, like they knew the people who were there. | ||
| And they were like, dude, do you have any idea how insane it was? | ||
| I'm like, oh, I do. | ||
| Of course I do. | ||
| I'm not an idiot. | ||
| And these people didn't realize. | ||
| They thought living on a farm was going to be like sitting in a lounge chair, like, you know, chewing on a piece of straw, reading a book and getting away from all the noise and life would be so much easier. | ||
| And guess what it was really like. | ||
| Yeah, getting your hands dirty. | ||
| Waking up at 6am, and working until midnight, and then going to bed. | ||
| You get to eat a little bit in between. | ||
| But when you stop working, you don't have food. | ||
| And the best part was, winter wasn't coming. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| And then you gotta stock up a bunch of the food, store it for the winter, preserve it properly. | ||
| And not only that, you're getting a horrible diet throughout the winter. | ||
| You're not getting the vitamins you need, your food is imbalanced. | ||
| Yeah, they could not take it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's not surprising at all. | ||
| So what do you think these people would do in a real apocalypse? | ||
| They would starve. | ||
| Would they? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You think they're the ones that are gonna go rioting? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Well, oh yeah, riot. | ||
| Yeah, but they're not going to get very far. | ||
| No, they're not. | ||
| I mean, there's plenty of people out there that maybe not are prepper status, but... Are prepared. | ||
| Yeah, they're prepared in the sense that, don't come into my house. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They've been like that for a long time. | ||
| Me too, out the door. | ||
| Once people are starting to riot, they're going to be like, okay, don't come to my house. | ||
| Now I will shoot you. | ||
| There's two similar jokes. | ||
| One was a Dilbert comic, Scott Adams, and Dilbert was like, I think he was asking about how the woman is preparing, and she goes, I'm not, I'm just gonna go, you know, I'm preparing, like, what are you doing? | ||
| And then she basically said, oh, can you pick up Hot Pockets so that when this all breaks down I can get them? | ||
| Like, the joke is, someone posted this in the Super Chat before, they were like, gun owners want to thank all the people who don't own guns for stocking up supplies for us when the apocalypse happens. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| I, I, I, here's the thing. | ||
| We're seeing what we're seeing right now is not, it's not the apocalypse, the | ||
| catastrophe. | ||
| That's what they point out in the article. | ||
| But I'm, I'm curious. | ||
| We've seen a lot of movies and the movies try to pretend they know how people would | ||
| respond to an apocalypse. | ||
| No, I don't think we really do. | ||
| And everyone loves to be that person though. | ||
| Oh, I would, I would never do that. | ||
| I would've gone left. | ||
| I would've stayed put. | ||
| Oh, I would've done anything but whatever, which was just pushing the narrative of the movie along. | ||
| It's like, okay, well, obviously, they have to tweak a little bit. | ||
| Here's the truth, man. | ||
| When the apocalypse does come, the most brutal are the ones who survive, period. | ||
| Period. | ||
| Here's a little thought experiment I tell people. | ||
| It's weird to me that there's like, A lot of urban young people don't understand how real life works, and I think it's because they've been insulated. | ||
| Here's the question I say to people, and I'll ask you guys right now. | ||
| You're in the middle of the woods, hundreds of miles from civilization. | ||
| You're lost. | ||
| You have with you a gun, a rifle, with, you know, limited rounds. | ||
| You have a small canteen of water. | ||
| You have a little bit of food. | ||
| All of a sudden, off in the distance, at the exact same time, you notice another person, and they notice you. | ||
| They have the exact same things that you have. | ||
| You don't know where your next meal's gonna be, you don't know where you're going, you don't know where civilization is, and you see this person, what do you do? | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| And the world's over already. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Regardless of that, let's- It doesn't matter. | ||
| I'll do the equation. | ||
| You're in the middle of nowhere, in the Yukon, lost. | ||
| You got teleported there, who knows? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And you've got a rifle. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You've got a little bit of food, a little bit of water, and the clothes on your back. | ||
| You don't know where civilization is, It's cold, you're trying to find food, shelter, whatever. | ||
| About a hundred yards away, you and another person, you both make eye contact at the exact same time. | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| I would probably say hello. | ||
| And then they yell back, Florga blop! | ||
| Florga blop. | ||
| Florga blop! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Florga blop! | |
| I don't think you communicate very well. | ||
| How do you know they would speak English? | ||
| Well, I would probably have a smile on my face, and I would wave then, you know, and probably, because we have like a hundred yards away, it's pretty far. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You know, so it's like, you know, I would probably lift my gun up, you know, in like a non-threatening manner, like holding my hands up with the gun visible, but not aimed at them. | ||
| As soon as you raise your arm with the gun, they lift their gun up to you, shaking. | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| Well, I probably duck behind a tree. | ||
| Then they see you move, so they start shooting. | ||
| Good thing I ducked behind a tree. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, this thought experiment isn't meant to have a correct response. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's to point out that no matter what you do, you can't expect how someone else would respond. | ||
| True. | ||
| And everyone, you know what, like, this is really funny, because one thing I often hear from conservatives is, like, they would have their hand properly on their weapon, they'd hold up their hand, and they would move really slowly, and they would back away and leave. | ||
| I hear from moderate people more stuff like what you were saying, like I would try to make contact. | ||
| You know what I hear from people on the left? | ||
| Oh, I'd go and greet them! | ||
| Now they can help me! | ||
| No, I wouldn't trust them immediately, though. | ||
| You don't know! | ||
| But see, if I was in an environment like that, you never know if, like... | ||
| If they were friendly, then you're two and not one. | ||
| So your chances of survival increase. | ||
| So that's, that's where my first instinct would be is like, I would rather be two than by myself. | ||
| And if they're friendly, you know, how do you approach them? | ||
| If they don't speak my language, it's obviously going to be more difficult. | ||
| You can't assume they do. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, so if I yell hello and they like, all right, you know, Florida blob. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the challenge is, if you see this person, you don't know if they're starving, if they're angry, if they're scared, you have no idea what they're feeling. | ||
| They might see you and see what you're carrying and be like, if I take his stuff I'll live. | ||
| Why should I bother with this person who might hurt me? | ||
| I don't know them. | ||
| I don't know what they're saying. | ||
| And so I try to explain to people that A lot of people with these utopianist views think this is how the world could work, everyone holding hands and singing and it's like a rainbow. | ||
| And it's like, no, the reality is, you take that scenario I gave you and you scale it up to nation states. | ||
| We don't know what the other is doing, we don't want to give up our secrets, we don't know what they're planning, we don't know if they're going to attack us, and everyone needs resources. | ||
| And so when you look at a lot of how these countries are responding to the crisis right now, We don't know what China's internals are. | ||
| They might, you know, for all we know there's like some government official who's like, his buttons are all undone, his tie is, he's drunk and he's just like, this is the end. | ||
| We're out of resources, our money is going up, the food supplies have stopped, but don't tell anybody. | ||
| And so then you have these people saying things like, we need to be cooperating with China. | ||
| They're a global leader supplying us and they're ready to press the button. | ||
| That's the problem, that's where you go with conflict and war and stuff. | ||
| But also for that scenario too, it's like, man, I think it's a guarantee that if the apocalypse happened, like liberals, liberal-minded people would, and I say this because liberals tend to be very passive, like the actual liberals. | ||
| I'll say it, they would die out. | ||
| Oh, that's what you were about to say. | ||
| Yeah, totally wiped out. | ||
| The reason is though, when I say liberal, I'm talking about people who are gonna vote for Joe Biden. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're clearly not paying attention. | ||
| They don't know or care about what's going on. | ||
| And they're just like, I haven't even heard him speak. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| Now the progressive far leftists, many of these people are now actually rather pro 2A. | ||
| This has been a big thing. | ||
| Because of like with Antifa, there have been a lot of, you know, far left people who are like, no, we demand our rights to own weapons. | ||
| And you see, and there are, you know, groups that are considered to be that or aligned, like, you know, Black Panthers, for instance, that showed up in Virginia. | ||
| And all of the liberty-minded people agree, like, we should have a right to bear, you know, bear arms and stuff. | ||
| But the far leftists, I think, will survive. | ||
| The communists, the authoritarians, because they'll take what they want. | ||
| They're aggressive. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Conservatives, who are prepared and calm and, like, methodical, who are, like, not all of them, but enough of them, will be prepared and ready. | ||
| And then liberals, like your average liberal in this country, are going to be sitting on their hands, confused about what's happening around them. | ||
| Not believing it until someone comes and takes their stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or no, no, I'll tell you what, like it's gonna be in Manhattan and there's gonna be like, picture this, a dude with like a beard and like wavy brown hair and thick black frame glasses with a blue button-up shirt tucked into his khaki leather belt, sitting in his Manhattan apartment, watching the TV as they say like the government has collapsed, we don't know what this means. | ||
| Then this door gets kicked in and a bunch of dudes come in and they have their guns out and they're like, where's the food, where's the food? | ||
| And he's like, in the cabinet. | ||
| And he's gonna be like, what? | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| And they're gonna take his food and they're gonna leave and then he's gonna have no food. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Those are the kind of people it's like, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| That's the apocalypse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Yeah, that's a quick apocalypse. | ||
| This is what they want. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| But, you know, I'll go back to that last point and we can jump to the Super Chats, but like, I think we all, you know, we look at movies to see how people would react. | ||
| But when you look at movies like The Hunger Games or like, you know, I don't know, Dawn of the Dead or something, We don't take into consideration the political alignment or the predictable behaviors of certain areas. | ||
| Areas of Utah, for instance, like more Mormon areas, will react very, very differently to New York. | ||
| Very differently. | ||
| I'd be willing to bet, too, Religious areas will survive very, very well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| Immediately. | ||
| Because they have a unifying force. | ||
| Right, there's culture. | ||
| Whereas people of all different random backgrounds and ideologies will be unified by what? | ||
| You're in a city and everyone's running around and you're gonna be like, I gotta get out of here. | ||
| But if you're in an area with like, you know, a very religious community, you're gonna be like, let's go see what everyone's doing because you know everybody you could... This is one of the things that's interesting about religion that we've lost as the US has become more secular, is that people used to meet each other at the church and talk about stuff. | ||
| Because I did this, you know, when I was growing up. | ||
| How many people in New York get together with their local community and talk to each other, meet each other, They don't do it at all. | ||
| No, they don't. | ||
| Never. | ||
| No, they don't. | ||
| Luke, the We Are Change dude, has this video from a long time ago where he went on the train and he was like, all of these people, millions of people every day on the train never talk to each other at all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's dead silent. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| These are everyone's on their phone listening to music. | ||
| So look, I'm not saying like, I'm, I'm personally not, not religious. | ||
| I'm not, you know, I don't read the Bible or anything like that, but I think fact-based you have, you have people in New York who have no ties to any community. | ||
| They don't know who lives below them. | ||
| Like when I lived in Brooklyn, I had no idea who my downstairs neighbor was. | ||
| Same here. | ||
| Heard him playing music! | ||
| Almost all of my apartments, I didn't know anybody. | ||
| And the problem there is people aren't in places long term either. | ||
| They're there for a year, maybe two, but then they find a different apartment with a different friend, or they broke up with their significant other, and they have to find new places, and they're constantly moving, and that's every apartment. | ||
| The consistency is not there. | ||
| When it hits the fan. | ||
| What are you gonna do? | ||
| Who do you trust? | ||
| You go downstairs, knock on your neighbor's door, and you're like, we've never met before, and he goes, give me your stuff. | ||
| You have no idea. | ||
| Or he's like, take my stuff, please don't hurt me. | ||
| And you're like, wow, I didn't even ask you for your stuff. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| I don't want your stuff. | ||
| Let's band together. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I mean, you know, even when I was growing up in Chicago, we knew all the neighbors. | ||
| Everybody knew each other. | ||
| New York? | ||
| Yeah, we lost that. | ||
| So, you know, I was thinking about it and I was reading something a while ago that actually was not, it wasn't making this point, but I realized it. | ||
| They were talking about the water cooler, the town hall, churches, and it was talking about social media censorship and the threat we face because of it. | ||
| And one of them was that because people used to meet for church and it was like a very, very prominent thing in this country, you know, decades and decades ago. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That conversations about politics were being had as people were gathering and then leaving. | ||
| They would also do events, like when I was growing up, the church we had on, I think it was on Sundays, I don't know how often they would do this, but I think Sunday Mass was followed by like a potluck? | ||
| What is it called when everyone brings something? | ||
| Yeah, a potluck. | ||
| Everyone brings food. | ||
| And so me and my friends wouldn't, you know, we were just little kids, so we'd be like, dude, it's so awesome, you go there and you just like stand there for an hour and then it's all the free food! | ||
| We didn't know anything about the religious stuff. | ||
| But people would be hanging out, and then people would talk, and they loved that there were kids there, like, eating, and like, of our own volition. | ||
| All that's being lost in big cities. | ||
| True. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Let's grab this. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| If the apocalypse happens, there's a lot of reasons to speculate as to why your average liberal is doomed. | ||
| Liberals, pay attention! | ||
| That's for real, though. | ||
| I mean, call it bias or whatever, but Let's grab some Super Chats and then, what should we do? | ||
| Should we talk about Atlantis? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We'll talk about Atlantis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's do that. | |
| Yeah, there was a viral video where people thought they discovered Atlantis and somebody wants to rent out our parade. | ||
| So, we'll let them. | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay, here we go. | ||
| There's SolarCycles and TGR, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Eric says, noticing similarities between Duncan Lemp and Trevin Cole. | ||
| Check out What Happened in Vegas by Ramsey Dennison. | ||
| We'll check it out. | ||
| I don't know what that symbol is. | ||
| They say Lydia can't comment on if she would shoot someone for legal reasons. | ||
| I cannot. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| Oh yeah? | ||
| The Grizzly says, if we're going to enter a dystopia, we should enter the Warhammer 40,000. | ||
| It's everything that is the complete opposite of Star Trek. | ||
| Humans are a religious space empire built on constant war with space knights and aliens. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I've never played Warhammer. | ||
| Sounds fun. | ||
| Chuck Morris says, I'm with Lydia. | ||
| Always double tap. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Darun says, always shoot to kill. | ||
| Many stories of bad guys suing homeowner and homeowner being forced to pay the criminal for life. | ||
| Well, in my opinion, that's not the reason to end someone's life. | ||
| You know, that they're going to sue you. | ||
| The bigger issue is that, you know what really bothers me in movies? | ||
| It's like, dude, all the time they'll be like, I have subdued the bad guy. | ||
| And then they like run. | ||
| What? | ||
| You just knocked him down! | ||
| And there's a guy who's like he's a slash slasher film He's killing people and then they finally like knock the | ||
| guy down, and they're like quick now Let's leave and I'm like what you're not him down | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's gonna get back up and he's gonna pick up his knife again | |
| Yeah, like you have to defend yourself, and you've subdued him at the very least tie him up dude | ||
| Don't even do that. | ||
| When somebody's unconscious, it's not like in the movies, you don't wake up 20 minutes early. | ||
| 20 minutes later. | ||
| 20 minutes later. | ||
| You wake up like 3 minutes later. | ||
| Not even 3 minutes. | ||
| It's such a short time. | ||
| It's like 30 seconds to 3 minutes. | ||
| It's usually, it's not long. | ||
| Three minutes? | ||
| That's like brain damage. | ||
| That would be the longer end. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| People who get knocked out, if you watch MMA, they'll go down and they'll start to get back up right away. | ||
| It's a few seconds. | ||
| The reason I would say if you're in a self-defense situation, there are certain circumstances where our society finds lethal force justified. | ||
| If somebody is shown intent to continue no matter what happens, you gotta stop them. | ||
| For not just you, but for other people. | ||
| That's what I can't stand. | ||
| People just don't have... Oh man. | ||
| That's what really bothers me about movies. | ||
| I always imagine a movie and I'm like, they could have ended this movie in 10 minutes and I want to see it ended in 10 minutes. | ||
| And for the record, I was just making a joke about that. | ||
| About what? | ||
| Not shooting to kill. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| You're like, Adam, you have to. | ||
| I would. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Here's what I want to do. | ||
| Can we start a production thing where we make three-minute versions of movies where we solve the movie before anything happens? | ||
| We should. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Oh, that'd be so much fun. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| It's like the murderer is seen and someone goes like, or actually, you know Family Guy made that joke? | ||
| Did they? | ||
| Yeah, they did a cutaway gag to Home Alone with competent robbers. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| And the robbers walk in the front door and the one guy goes, that was strange. | ||
| The doorknob was hot. | ||
| He's like, really? | ||
| He's like, yeah, but I just let go. | ||
| Huh. | ||
| And then Kevin McCallister's at the stairs, he's like, haha, I've caught you! | ||
| And then he goes, bang! | ||
| And the kid just died. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Brutal. | ||
| Competent robbers. | ||
| I mean, don't do that! | ||
| It was hot, so I let go. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| Yeah, it was hot, so I just let go. | ||
| Because remember in the movie, he holds it and he's like, ahh! | ||
| It's a silly movie. | ||
| Well it's so hot that his skin burned and stuck to it. | ||
| I thought it was electrocuted and that'll make your hand close. | ||
| That was a different part I think. | ||
| Maybe it was just hot. | ||
| It's a fun movie. | ||
| Come on, it's fun. | ||
| I would be very satisfied to watch movies end in a minute. | ||
| Like a one minute short film like here's Avatar ended in one minute. | ||
| I would have liked if Avatar had ended in one minute, to be fair. | ||
| I love that movie. | ||
| What's wrong with you guys? | ||
| Avatar? | ||
| That was a great movie. | ||
| I mean, it was FernGully, sure. | ||
| But it was great. | ||
| Pocahontas, FernGully, and Dances with Wolves all, like, matched together. | ||
| Apparently they got like six new scripts of it or something. | ||
| Oh, great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The Lopardi says, don't shoot to wound. | ||
| If you find yourself in a position that you have to shoot someone, it's a kill or be killed situation. | ||
| Stay safe and folks. | ||
| Well, I do agree with that. | ||
| I do think it's fair to point out. | ||
| Typically the rule is never point a gun at something you're not intending to destroy. | ||
| Yeah, that was the rule. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, it's crazy to me that they don't allow civilians to own less lethal weapons. | ||
| Like, like bean bags, pepper balls, stuff like that. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Why aren't we allowed to own that stuff? | ||
| There was a cool thing I saw. | ||
| I think it was on Mythbusters, I'm not sure where. | ||
| It was an invention this cop had, where you put a cap over the gun, and the first round is less lethal, and then after that, it's lethal. | ||
| Pop a cap. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Is that where that comes from? | ||
| Yeah, so it's like... If they're trigger happy, or if they let one out of the chamber, it's like, obviously, they've started something. | ||
| So the first hit will put you in the hospital and you'll be like vomiting blood. | ||
| It's not pretty. | ||
| But you're not dead. | ||
| But you're not dead. | ||
| Yeah, but after that the bullets are like oof. | ||
| So it's like normal bullets and it like catches something and then hits you with this like red, you know, less lethal round. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| But you do not want to get hit with those things. | ||
| No, I don't want to get hit at all. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Shadow Master says, right, it's always the anticipation that's the hardest part or the quote, it's not the fall that kills you but the impact. | ||
| Lance says, the TV show Revolution is a much watch about the end of the world. | ||
| Muscle says, Tim, when someone intends to do you harm, it's foolish to not end the threat. | ||
| Attempting to disarm a monster only puts yourself and anyone you want to protect in undue danger. | ||
| Only saying this because I care. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I think, you know, it's an interpretation of what the event is, right? | ||
| If you don't know why someone is doing something and you're being proactive, then, you know, but right. | ||
| If someone is coming in with a weapon and they're screaming and firing guns, like, yeah, you better, you better protect yourself. | ||
| Or if they're not saying anything and they have a gun, like some cops showing up in the middle of the night wearing masks. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Like, what do you do? | ||
| How are the, how are cops not getting killed? | ||
| They are. | ||
| It's happened. | ||
| That's not surprising, because they're showing up in the middle of the night. | ||
| And then the homeowner is a cop killer who goes to prison. | ||
| So crazy, man. | ||
| We have a constitution. | ||
| I wish it wasn't Swiss cheese right now. | ||
| Valleycat says, about the Libertarian t-shirt, the politician you are looking for is Adam Kokesh. | ||
| Oh, I remember Adam. | ||
| I don't follow him and all that, but he went to D.C. | ||
| I don't remember what happened with this, but he brought a gun to D.C., hit a shotgun, and he did a video, and he like... And you're not allowed to do that. | ||
| But, like, he was trying to do this gun march in defense of 2A, where, like, they all crossed the bridge from, like, Virginia into D.C. | ||
| in, like, protest. | ||
| And then it ended up not happening, I guess? | ||
| I think he got charged? | ||
| I don't know what happened. | ||
| Yeah, he's a very libertarian dude. | ||
| Reynick says, if you want to see the after effects of an apocalyptic event, watch the film Threads, 1984, made by the BBC. | ||
| Truly horrifying. | ||

| Very cool. | ||
| Crash says, Tim, normally US cities only have a three day food supply. | ||
| Think on that for a second. | ||
| Oh, I know it. | ||
| I totally know it. | ||
| Dude, I tell people this, like you realize they'll be eating each other in New York. | ||
| Most people start fleeing, and then after a certain point, people who stay behind. | ||
| You know, if everybody flees New York, then they're gonna have a lot more than three days. | ||
| But it depends on how many people flee. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| If there's, like, one person in Manhattan, they can probably eat for the rest of their lives. | ||
| Oh, for sure, yeah. | ||
| If they can find the food. | ||
| No, but bodegas and, like, if there's no other people. | ||
| Yeah, just gotta go get it. | ||
| Eventually, I'd imagine animals will find it, though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So maybe you'll be, like, fighting animals or something. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Thanks for the super chat, Simon. | ||
| Damien says, only seven months till winter starts your, winter, start your garden now. | ||
| Oh, yeah, definitely. | ||
| LB says, Adam, never say you would shoot to wound. | ||
| That would get you locked up even in pro-gun states. | ||
| It's always shoot to stop the threat. | ||
| You see? | ||
| Huh. | ||
| All right, well. | ||
| I've never heard this. | ||
| I was making a joke, but. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just a joke. | |
| Yeah, but people don't care, you know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, it's fine, it's fine. | |
| Too many people are very serious about it. | ||
| Yeah, it's true. | ||
| I mean, let me just reiterate right now. | ||
| If someone was coming at me and my family, I would put them down. | ||
| Well, you would defend yourself with the necessary force. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| If they weren't going to stop, what choice would I have? | ||
| And I would take the choice that I had. | ||
| And you'd probably still end up in prison because we're in New Jersey. | ||
| Well, my family would be safe. | ||
| That's exactly it. | ||
| That's how people feel. | ||

| JustNoTool says, have you seen The Road? | ||
| I haven't. | ||
| Aaron Larson says, just finished watching your interview on Crowder's live channel. | ||
| How are you two places at once? | ||
| Just kidding. | ||
| Great job, Tim. | ||
| Love seeing y'all collab. | ||
| I actually have seen The Road. | ||
| It's really interesting about... I don't remember who the two main characters, but I think it's like an adult and a kid traveling down the road. | ||
| I think it's maybe a father and son. | ||
| And it's an interesting take on being able to trust people. | ||
| They run into different humans along the way, and it's like there's a constant tension in the air the entire movie because of it. | ||
| So it's interesting. | ||
| I just watched a movie where, yeah, it was a horror film, but I'll spare you the greater details. | ||
| It's actually pretty good. | ||
| And this guy ends up meeting a stranger. | ||
| He's looking for evidence of ghosts. | ||
| He meets a random guy, and he's offering a ton of money. | ||
| And then the guy's like, we go in this abandoned building, and then he just goes, Look, if you just want to rob me or do some weird stuff, can I just give you the money? | ||
| Because I really don't want to deal with the other stuff. | ||
| But it turns out the guy was legit. | ||
| To an extent. | ||
| I don't want to spoil the movie. | ||
| But I find that funny. | ||
| It's like, look, okay, you know what, man? | ||
| Just take the money. | ||
| I'm done. | ||
| You don't got to rob me. | ||
| Just have it. | ||
| Let's just cut the BS. | ||

That's one way to do it. | |

Wait, wait, wait. | |
| Tim's thought experiment I'd size them up if I could win I'd shoot if I couldn't I'd be all smiles | ||

It is. | |
| It's basically like everyone turns to stone for some reason. | ||
| And then this really, really smart guy wakes up in the future where humanity is just in Stone Age. | ||
| And he's trying to build cell phones. | ||
| And so it's like he has to go through all the basics first. | ||
| OK, first we need to smelt metal. | ||
| Then we need to generate electricity. | ||
| Here's how we build a vacuum tube. | ||
| It's actually like It's kind of like magic school books, almost. | ||
| It's pretty sweet. | ||
| One thing about the Mormons and the Amish, I feel like the Mormons would be better set up because they're more technological and can probably defend themselves against roving bands of crazies, where the Amish are I don't know if they even, do they use guns? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| Are they gun carriers? | ||
| I don't really know. | ||
| I thought it was their way to like keep true to the old ways, you know, like, you know, no electric anything, but I don't know if they use guns or not. | ||
| It's not necessarily true that they don't use technology. | ||
| I don't know what the rules are, but I do know that like in Chicago farmers markets, they were Amish farmers. | ||
| That would come in to sell stuff, and they were like normal people with trucks. | ||
| I don't know what the rules are, but someone there was explaining it to me. | ||
| But I did go somewhere in Maryland that had an Amish market. | ||
| And it's like, there was a lot of regular technology there, but a lot of people dressed in very Amish clothes. | ||
| We're not very far from Amish country. | ||
| Apparently they do own them for like pest control. | ||
| They do not want to use them against other people. | ||
| That's like the whole point. | ||

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

| I take responsibility. | ||
| Ampcoat says, it is known that after the Cataclysm, the Atlanteans fled to the Thurian continent, settled in the Grimlands of Cimmeria, and from there Number was born Conan. | ||
| Ah, interesting. | ||

What? | |
| I know, I was just thinking that. | ||
| Holy cow. | ||
| That's why I didn't realize I was going to be on Crowder, because I forgot it was Thursday. | ||
| Time flies, man. | ||
| People were saying you were great on Crowder. | ||
| Was I? | ||
| Crowder's hilarious. | ||
| Really good at being at two places at once. | ||
| Crowder likes breaking the rules. | ||
| Not like, I don't want to say, like, no, he likes pushing the envelope. | ||

| The one last thing I'll say before we sign off is that when it comes to politics right now, it's not even about policy. | ||
| You know, like, conservatives aren't arguing about, like, the left and right arguments are typically about, like, which person do you like? | ||
| Is the president a good president or a bad president? | ||
| It's like, if you say, I don't know, then you must be a conservative. | ||
| If you say, I hate him, then you must be a liberal. | ||
| But those aren't policy positions. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know? | ||
| It's just feelings. | ||
| That was like a part of the conversation we were having that just reminded me of. | ||
|
