How's it going everybody? | |
| Welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast. | ||
| I am Tim Poole, along with... What's up? | ||
| I'm Adam Krigler. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| And... The Invisible Lady. | ||
| The Invisible Lady. | ||
| Lydia of Whiterun, I guess. | ||
| Lydia of Whiterun. | ||
| What does Lydia do? | ||
| Bears your burdens? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Skyrim reference. | ||
| So, World War III's happening. | ||
| Indeed it is. | ||
| You wanna hit record? | ||
| Oh yeah, I do. | ||
| F in chat. | ||
| Let's get an F in chat going. | ||
| But we didn't actually start the segment. | ||
| Doesn't matter. | ||
| There are the F's. | ||
| The F's are now like the starting pistol shot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everyone's like, yeah, start your engines! | |
| We always, everybody's been saying World War III every single time something happens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| I remember a few years ago, it was, what was it called? | ||
| Israel did one of their, they call it mowing the lawn. | ||
| When Israel fires a bunch of missiles and blows up a bunch of missile sites in Gaza. | ||
| That's what they call it? | ||
| Mowing the lawn? | ||
| They call it mowing the lawn. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| It happens like every two years. | ||
| Jeez. | ||
| But I remember that happening in like 2014 or something and people are like, oh man, World War III, because Iran's going to retaliate and then nothing happens. | ||
| And then, you know, then you have this recent thing where, you know, Iraq and Suleimani and everyone's like, oh, World War III and then nothing happens. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But only a couple of months later, like not even, we have this global pandemic. | ||
| And while everyone's paying attention to themselves, a bunch of things have started happening around the world. | ||
| So we've got some crazy conspiracies for you today. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's going to be a whole lot of fun. | ||
| It's pretty intense, this stuff, though. | ||
| I mean, it's not some of it's not conspiracy. | ||
| It's like this stuff's actually happening now. | ||
| I'm a skeptic. | ||
| That's what is crazy to me. | ||
| Some of the stuff that's actually happened. | ||
| And so we've we've got a bunch of stories. | ||
| When you zoom out of the, you know, the smaller picture and you look at the whole world. | ||
| It does kind of look like World War 3 is coming. | ||
| It really does. | ||
| Because there's like stuff happening in China, there's stuff happening in Iran, there's stuff happening in Venezuela. | ||
| That's the lead story, right? | ||
| Venezuela rammed a cruise ship, opened fire, sank. | ||
| Trump's deploying the Navy. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, it's crazy. | ||
| This is nuts. | ||
| Beyond that, we've got stories about 5G. | ||
| Someone apparently torched a 5G tower. | ||
| And then it turns out there's a woke movie called Cuck that got zero dollars at the box office. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| They made nothing. | ||
| Nobody went to see it. | ||
| I wouldn't have seen it. | ||
| I wouldn't have wanted to see it. | ||
| You didn't see it. | ||
| It's true, I did not. | ||
| Nobody did. | ||
| Before we get started, make sure you join the Super Chat. | ||
| By giving a Super Chat, we will do our best to read as many comments as we can, but admittedly, lots of people are already sending us Super Chats, so we'll read what we can. | ||

| And we're gonna, you know, what else? | ||
| Follow us, we got our names up above, and yeah, subscribe, notification, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| This story is insane, man. | ||
| I didn't believe it. | ||
| I didn't believe it either. | ||
| I didn't believe it either. | ||
| Let me read the headline. | ||
| Venezuelan Navy vessel sinks after opening fire on a cruise ship. | ||
| Trump recently announced that he was, like yesterday, they announced Trump was deploying | ||
| anti-drug naval vessels to Venezuelan waters. | ||
| Not to their waters, but near their. | ||
| That story came out before this story. | ||
| This story's coming out now. | ||
| But this incident happened on March 30th. | ||
| So you know Trump knew that Venezuela attacked a cruise ship. | ||
| Okay, so this didn't happen, like, yesterday. | ||
| No, this happened on the 30th. | ||
| It happened four days ago. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Four days ago? | ||
| Yeah, I guess so. | ||
| And then yesterday, you asked to deploy anti-drug navy ships near Venezuela. | ||
| War! | ||
| It's not just that, man. | ||
| Yeah, this is the move of war. | ||
| You want to see the scariest thing? | ||
| Yeah, this freaked me out when you showed me this. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| See all these alerts? | ||
| What is happening? | ||
| This is, for the most part, the State Department issuing travel alerts for evacuations from countries all over the world. | ||
| Now, of course, this could just be, you know, COVID-related, for sure. | ||
| I want to make sure it's very clear as we move through all of these crazy stories and the crazy stuff I show you. | ||
| I'm not here to draw any conclusions. | ||
| It's really easy to pull up 50 stories and then be like, it all goes together. | ||
| That's the problem with conspiracy theories. | ||
| But what I want to do is stop focusing on one thing. | ||
| I know a lot of people, they're journalists for, say, the Southeast Asia region. | ||
| And they're like, oh man, all this stuff's happening. | ||
| And you ask them about Central America and they're like, oh, I don't know. | ||
| Okay, well, what about Iran? | ||
| Oh, I don't know. | ||
| There's people who cover MENA, the Middle East and North Africa. | ||
| They don't know anything about what's going on in China. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A little bit. | |
| Okay. | ||
| When you step back and look at all these things, you start to see, well, the world's in conflict for sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Does it really mean World War III? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But I will like to entertain some of the conspiracy theories that have been popping up as of late. | ||
| So as you know, what was it, like January? | ||
| We went after Soleimani in Iran. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Was it January? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Feels like forever ago. | ||
| Yeah, maybe, I don't even remember. | ||
| Six and a half years ago. | ||
| Was it before January? | ||
| No, it was early January. | ||
| Man, I don't even remember. | ||
| I think it was January 2nd. | ||
| But then Iran, you know, a civilian plane got blown up, all this crazy stuff's happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah, that's right. | |
| And people were like, World War III. | ||
| Now we have this. | ||
| I'm going to walk through a bunch of stuff. | ||
| We've got South China Sea, we've got travel advisories, we've got Iran, we've got Venezuela. | ||
| Check out this story from the Washington Free Beacon. | ||
| A Venezuelan Navy vessel opened fire on a German cruise ship but sank after it sustained severe damages while ramming the luxury liner on Monday morning. | ||
| The RCGS Resolute, a 123-meter-long cruise ship equipped with four polar expeditions, was performing routine maintenance in international waters off the coast of Venezuela on Monday, according to a statement by Columbia Cruise Services, which manages the ship. | ||
| Soon, a Venezuelan patrol boat approached, demanded the ship divert its course to a Venezuelan port. | ||
| The patrol boat then opened fire on the Resolute and repeatedly rammed it. | ||
| The Resolute has a reinforced hull built to survive in Arctic conditions, and sustained only minor damages in the encounter. | ||
| The same could not be said for its aggressor. | ||
| That's very sad. | ||
| Venezuela tried. | ||
| I'm like giggling over here because it's funny. | ||
| That's how pathetic. | ||
| That's what you get. | ||
| You're ramming a boat. | ||
| They're just a cruise ship. | ||
| Isn't it crazy that a cruise ship is better armored than the Venezuelan Navy? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It's kind of telling. | ||
| You've got to understand. | ||
| It's funny, right? | ||
| It's actually scary, you know why? | ||
| No, I agree. | ||
| It is scary. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's scary that it sank and their army is weak. | ||
| Venezuela is desperate. | ||
| Right now you've got, you know, apparently Trump contacted Saudi Arabia and Russia and said, you know, shut down oil production because the oil prices are getting too low. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| I could be wrong. | ||
| Fact-check me on that one. | ||
| But what I can tell you is there's an oil price war happening and the prices are dropping dramatically. | ||
| Like we just saw gas the other day for like a buck ninety-three. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| Yeah, but isn't there like the demand is gone? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So yeah, I guess, I mean, wouldn't that make sense that it's dropping because they're just trying to sell it. | ||
| And so Venezuela's principal production is oil and they struggle. | ||
| So now they got nothing. | ||
| Their money's worthless. | ||
| And the only thing they really have, nobody wants. | ||
| So what do they do? | ||
| Piracy. | ||
| Go rogue. | ||
| What were they going to get for their country from a cruise ship? | ||
| A couple months worth of food for the administration, for Maduro, for higher-ups. | ||
| Maybe captives? | ||
| If it's that bad? | ||
| Yeah, captives. | ||
| Man. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| It's been getting bad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And remember what I said? | ||
| We were talking about this a couple weeks ago. | ||
| All it takes is for one of these countries to start getting desperate as resources start drying up. | ||
| And then they're going to say, it's me or them. | ||
| I choose me. | ||
| Now, what I said before is like, I don't know where it would start. | ||
| Maybe, maybe Vietnam, right? | ||
| Maybe, maybe, you know, South China Sea. | ||
| China will be like, our economy's taking a hit. | ||
| Maybe it'll be Vietnam. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I don't know if it's a... Oh, what's this? | |
| China ship hits and sinks Vietnamese fishing boat in South China Sea and detains the crew. | ||
| Man, that's crazy. | ||
| Now, here's the thing. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| This happens a lot. | ||
| Does this happen often? | ||
| It happens. | ||
| It does. | ||
| China's been trying to seize the South China Sea for a while. | ||
| But this is April 3rd. | ||
| You know, we talked about them lazing a flight, right? | ||
| Like two months ago. | ||
| And we were kind of like, yeah, it's crazy. | ||
| It probably wasn't anything. | ||
| Now we've got this whole new, these new glasses that we're wearing. | ||
| It's like, they... Take a look at this. | ||
| I don't think it was just them testing something. | ||
| I feel like they were threatening. | ||
| It's crazy, was it? | ||
| Marines will help make it clear that China can't expel America from the South China Sea. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| I know some Marines, my brother's one of them, and they're serious, man. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Those guys wouldn't mess with the Marines. | ||
| China lazed a U.S. | ||
| surveillance plane of some sort. | ||
| They just sank a Vietnamese fishing boat. | ||
| This conflict's been going on for a while. | ||
| You add all this stuff together, Venezuela might be the spark and the powder keg. | ||
| Do they have any allies? | ||
| Who's Venezuela's allies? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Do they even have any? | ||
|
unidentified
|
But probably going to be Iran. | |
| I bet it's Russia. | ||
| And Russia, yeah. | ||
| But Russia just sent us stuff. | ||
| You think they booby-trapped it all? | ||
| Maybe Trump has been trying to repair relations with Russia for a reason. | ||
| Hasn't he, though? | ||
| Yeah, he has. | ||
| And now they've sent us a bunch of medical supplies. | ||
| People were trying to twist it in some way, but it's like, they gave us help. | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| Like, can you say that? | ||
| It's like, that attitude that those people have, what do you think Russia, when they see that, what do you think they think? | ||
| You know, they're like, oh wow, they're knocking Trump, who said it's a good thing, we're trying to help, and they're like, they're making fun of us? | ||
| They're saying that we're against them? | ||
| It's kinda like, I mean, I don't know any Russians, I don't know what the atmosphere is between us right now, but it's like, all I know is that they're sending us help, and that's nice. | ||
| See, it's important context because I'm not trying to sit here and legitimately say we can confirm something like World War III or make an international conflict. | ||
| I'm just saying, like I said, it's easy to pull up these stories and if you forget to mention Russia sending us aid, if you forget to mention that Trump has recently said, you know, we're going to work with China to some certain degree, then, you know, it sounds like things are getting worse. | ||
| But I still think it's important to highlight stuff like this. | ||
| If Venezuela, so apparently they were trying to ram this cruise ship to force it into Venezuelan waters. | ||
| Now, Venezuela is claiming that the ship had mercenaries on it. | ||
| How do they know that? | ||
| Yeah, they're not. | ||
| They're making it up. | ||
| They're nuts. | ||
| These are crazy people. | ||
| Oil is worthless. | ||
| They've resorted to piracy. | ||
| And so they saw a cruise ship. | ||
| Hey, man, a cruise ship is like a floating town. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Floating hotel. | ||
| Tons of oil, tons of resources, worth a lot of money. | ||
| What do they get from it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What's a cruise ship cost? | ||
| Hundreds of millions of dollars to build? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, and they can hold it hostage, seize it, and then demand a ransom or something? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're getting desperate. | ||
| Seems like it, yeah. | ||
| Now check this out. | ||
| This is presumably unrelated. | ||
| US to deploy anti-drug Navy ships near Venezuela. | ||
| The Associated Press reports. | ||
| Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Navy ships are being moved toward Venezuela as his administration beefs up counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean following U.S. | ||
| drug indictments against Nicolas Maduro. | ||
| The announcement came at the start of the daily White House press briefing to discuss the coronavirus pandemic, which has left much of the country in lockdown. | ||
| And we get all that stuff. | ||
| We get all the coronavirus stuff. | ||
| Is this a cover? | ||
| Or is it legit? | ||
| Is Trump sending just a few little blockade ships to prevent the smuggling of drugs? | ||
| Well, I mean, he put a $15 million bounty on his head. | ||
| Is that just an excuse? | ||
| Because we're going to war? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Who do you trust? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Where do you trust the information from so far away? | ||
| I don't know what's going on. | ||
| I'm not there. | ||
| It is fair to say, them going after Maduro for drugs, when Venezuela no longer has access to valuable oil, or I should say, their valuable oil isn't valuable anymore, What else can they create that has been smuggled up for a long time? | ||
| It could be an inversion. | ||
| Trump could be deploying this for legitimate drugs, you know, because of the drug stuff. | ||
| And Maduro might be lashing out because they're about to lose their only other lucrative trade. | ||
| Yep, that's a good point. | ||
| So maybe it doesn't escalate beyond that. | ||
| But there's a few other things. | ||
| Let's move forward. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| The Department of State urges Americans not to delay travel home. | ||
| Transportation options may soon be unavailable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
U.S. | |
| citizens should make plans to return home now. | ||
| So, we have this right here. | ||
| Russia shut down and unexpectedly cancelled Aeroflot Flight 102. | ||
| The government of the Russian Federation ordered the immediate suspension of all international flights without warning until further notice. | ||
| Man, that's... This is... You showed me earlier. | ||
| Like, this is... This is oppressing, man. | ||
| Like, what's gonna happen? | ||
| We're bringing all Americans back? | ||
| Like, everybody needs to come back now. | ||
| They're doing evacuations. | ||
| Yeah, what does that mean? | ||
| It's like, whoa. | ||
| It's like our citizens need to be here because you're probably going to be not safe anywhere else. | ||
| Burma. | ||
| The embassy has coordinated a repatriation flight scheduled to depart Yangon April 6. | ||
| It is scheduled to arrive at San Francisco 8.15 p.m. | ||
| on April 6. | ||
| Please read alert for instructions. | ||
| Look at this, there's tons of alerts. | ||
| And they all say similar things. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| government is working to organize flights for U.S. | ||
| citizens in Cabo Verde. | ||
| These flights are projected to take place the week of April 5. | ||
| They're evacuating. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The embassies are evacuating. | ||
| Now, they are finding commercial flights as well. | ||
| The whole embassy's being emptied out. | ||
| Is that what's happening? | ||
| No, I'm asking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I don't know. | |
| Oh, okay, okay. | ||
| You said they're evacuating the embassies, and it's like, what does that entail? | ||
| I would say, probably, because Okay. | ||
| You guys got a fact check me on this one. | ||
| So I didn't pull it up, but I'm pretty sure that the State Department allowed U.S. | ||
| embassy workers and diplomatic personnel to evacuate China back in like January. | ||
| One of the first things they did. | ||
| So I think it was someone from Fox. | ||
| I don't remember who said if if they're telling U.S. | ||
| government personnel to evacuate, then American citizens, you need to get out now. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| Now, of course, this is obviously coronavirus pandemic related. | ||
| Is it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it, though? | |
| I thought they already went through this with the coronavirus. | ||
| Right, they did. | ||
| Like, telling everybody to come home. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They did. | ||
| So this is not the coronavirus. | ||
| What I'm saying is, it's the simple solution. | ||
| There's no other reason, like, on the surface, it makes the most sense that they're instructing people to come back because flights are being canceled now. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But, that doesn't mean it's a guarantee that's exactly why they're doing it. | ||
| There is a lot of countries shutting their borders down. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Shutting airports down. | ||
| But that happened a while ago. | ||
| A month ago or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, progressively happening more and more. | ||
| I had a friend who was in a foreign country, got instructed to fly back immediately weeks ago. | ||
| Weeks and weeks ago. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, they're doing this now. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Maybe it's because something else is on the horizon. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, Venezuela going crazy is pretty scary. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But look, we can speculate and we can say, I think, my opinion is, I honestly don't know. | ||
| And the simple solution is just pandemic related. | ||
| But check this out. | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| You ready for the full-blown conspiracy theory? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, please. | |
| Yeah, let's do it. | ||
| Lay it on me. | ||
| We've been facing war with China and Iran and some other countries for a long time. | ||
| Like, it's been bubbling up. | ||
| And we've talked about this. | ||
| Let's say the government knew war was inevitable. | ||
| How would they... Okay, and I've actually said this in the past year. | ||
| If China They could snap their fingers and cut us off. | ||
| Which means we can't go to war with them. | ||
| They would freeze all of our manufacturing and we would be left helpless. | ||
| No medicine. | ||
| So how does the government, the United States government, get all the manufacturing back, secure its borders, and bring all its citizens back in one month? | ||
| Well, also starting up all these factories creating medicines that are keeping, like, I don't know. | ||
| And medical supplies. | ||
| Millions and millions of Americans alive? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| And supplies? | ||
| Listen. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Making medical supplies. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Medicines, antibiotics. | ||
| All this stuff, yeah, exactly. | ||
| If you were going to go to war, what would you need to do? | ||
| You would need to have that stuff. | ||
| Bring your citizens back, kickstart your manufacturing, secure your borders, and what did we just do? | ||
| All those things. | ||
| In reverse order, we're doing it. | ||
| Conspiracy theories. | ||
| He closed the borders, now he has the ability to go, you're making medicine, you're making medical supplies, you're doing this. | ||
| Guns are essential businesses. | ||
| That was a Trump order. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Let's work on our essays. | ||
| Now, listen, listen. | ||
| I'm not joking. | ||
| You think I'm joking? | ||
| No, I'm dead serious. | ||
| But to clarify, for those that don't know, New Jersey requires you to write an essay if you want to buy a weapon. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So stupid. | ||
| Well, it's going to be pretty easy right now to explain why. | ||
| You don't need to. | ||
| Because when the war starts, they're going to conscript you and be like, here's your gun, buddy. | ||
| Sweet. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Guard your home. | ||
| That'll work. | ||
| For America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would. | |
| So there's a few things that, you know, people have called out Trump, like the drug operations in Venezuela. | ||
| They say it's a distraction from the pandemic. | ||
| They say, you know, like, why is Trump securing our borders and, you know, bringing people back? | ||
| It's just more of his xenophobic nationalism. | ||
| The argument from a lot of people has always been that the things Trump is doing doesn't specifically relate to the coronavirus. | ||
| And so in that sense, the people who have criticized Trump's actions as though they don't matter, they would be making the argument that it is not a simple solution that these things are related to the coronavirus. | ||
| You know, and you kind of made a point earlier about these media people that are good with specific areas. | ||
| You know, I know this section of the world. | ||
| I know this section of the world. | ||
| Well, there's people that don't even worry about sections of the world. | ||
| They worry about a person, you know? | ||
| And they're not even looking over here at this part of the world, so they don't see the full picture. | ||
| Clearly, they don't, because they're so polarized on what he's doing. | ||
| And it's like, that's why it doesn't matter what he says, because they don't even see what the big picture is. | ||
| They're just like, oh, he said something. | ||
| We can get a bunch of clicks. | ||
| Let's light this one up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The next story. | ||
| Trump claims Iran or its proxies are planning a sneak attack, warns of a heavy price. | ||
| Now, I look at this story, I say, what else is new? | ||
| Or it's proxies. | ||
| What else is new? | ||
| This stuff happens all the time, right? | ||
| Yeah, I agree. | ||
| But here's my favorite. | ||
| World War III fears domino effect error could spark major US-Iran conflict in Middle East. | ||
| Now, well, I shouldn't say it's my favorite. | ||
| There's another story I want to point out that I think is better. | ||
| But it's just, we're looking, if you look at one moment, people might say, oh, we see these things all the time. | ||
| You look at Venezuela, oh, we see these things all the time. | ||
| What happens when you zoom out? | ||
| Do they happen all at the same time when the U.S. | ||
| is evacuating its citizens around the world, securing its borders, and bringing manufacturing back? | ||
| While a worldwide pandemic is happening. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And even Canada and Europe and people are fighting over resources. | ||
| So at the very least, here's what I could say. | ||
| Maybe there's, you know, I was speculating and getting a bit conspiratorial as if this is all part of a plot to, you know, build up America's defenses before war starts. | ||
| The reality is the pandemic is happening. | ||
| Everyone's being affected by it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it will likely be a contributing factor to a major escalation. | ||
| Look, Trudeau of Canada. | ||
| was complaining that Trump just seized all these masks, saying, you can't ship them out, they're America's now. | ||
| So 3M was gonna send masks to Canada. | ||
| Trump was like, nope. | ||
| Defense Production Act, boom, they're ours. | ||
| And Trudeau was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we need these things. | ||
| And the US- Make them. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's what we're learning. | ||
| But what happens next? | ||
| Canada doesn't have the resources, they start freaking out. | ||
| Other countries don't have resources, they freak out. | ||
| And when someone's backed in a corner and is, look, man, if someone's starving, I'll tell you what, they're not gonna sit there on their knees begging you for bread, they're gonna take it. | ||
| I mean, they are our allies, so it's... Well, it's America Jr. | ||
| America's hat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Canada? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, still, it's like... | ||
| We were so angry at China for turning those boats around with the masks that were coming to us. | ||
| So how can we be upset with China for doing that if we're doing the same thing to Canada? | ||
| I'm dead serious. | ||
| We're not upset. | ||
| People are upset. | ||
| Trudeau's upset. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Trudeau's upset. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But this just says to me that, oh, we got angry. | ||
| We're like, oh, no, they took our masks. | ||
| So Trump orders everyone to come back. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And now we're closer than ever to war. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Here you go. | ||
| Here's my favorite. | ||
| April 3rd, 2020. | ||
| South China Sea. | ||
| Beijing poised to give Europe a sobering lesson amid hostile standoff. | ||
| Who said that? | ||
| So this is Chinese, let's read it. | ||
| Chinese military actions in the South China Sea are partly aimed at securing economic | ||
| dominance as the region is a key area for shipping of goods for countries around the | ||
| world. | ||
| But President Xi Jinping has also overseen investments in Europe, which have mostly flown | ||
| under the radar. | ||
| In 2019, the Financial Times reported how China's invested in Trieste on the northern | ||
| Adriatic Sea and Genoa, Italy's biggest seaport, adding to a growing network of seaports. | ||
| So what, they're going to shut them down? | ||
| The Financial Times article states how this growing presence in Europe should provide a sobering lesson for Europe. | ||
| This is because while China's trade can bring opportunities, its actions in the South China Sea prove it isn't always the friendliest partner. | ||
| So right now, it's not just about the trade routes and the conflict, the lasering of our planes. | ||
| Why is the FBI going around arresting collaborators of China? | ||
| Why aren't they? | ||
| They are. | ||
| Oh, they are? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Numerous professors have been, there's an investigation going on from the FBI targeting these professors, and not just them, other people, and they found that numerous professors were taking cash from China and did not disclose it. | ||
| In fact, one of them, I think, lied to the feds and said I wasn't getting paid. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| They were setting up their own labs in China working at our universities. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| The feds are arresting them. | ||
| Good. | ||
| As part of that same investigation, those documents got leaked, I guess, and Yahoo published this, that the U.S. | ||
| has intercepted on more than one occasion Chinese researchers illicitly transporting viruses. | ||
| That's who they were bringing them to. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| They're American paid professors. | ||
| Potentially. | ||
| They said it was part of the same investigation. | ||
| Dang. | ||
| This is all legit. | ||
| It's all happening. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So, perhaps this espionage has been going on for a long time. | ||
| Maybe it's just coming out now. | ||
| But I'll tell you what, it feels like the volcano is bubbling up and it's getting really close to breaking the surface. | ||
| Yeah, it's smoking. | ||
| And eventually, someone's gonna get desperate. | ||
| Maybe Venezuela already did. | ||
| They clearly are, yeah. | ||
| They're desperate. | ||
| They're ramming ships and losing their own ships. | ||
| But it's like, they're clearly desperate. | ||
| They're lashing out. | ||
| Maybe that's the spark. | ||
| Trump sends these ships down. | ||
| Then some other countries are like, yo, yo, what are you doing? | ||
| Going after Maduro. | ||
| Some other countries are like, we can't let you do this. | ||
| Trump says, F you. | ||
| Has anyone said that? | ||
| Is anyone coming to Venezuela's aid? | ||
| I don't see it. | ||
| I feel like we would have heard something. | ||
| So Venezuela's three biggest allies are China, Iran, and Russia. | ||
| You looked it up. | ||
| What a surprise! | ||
| I did see some comments saying that, but I didn't know if it was true or not. | ||
| You ready to ride that nuclear gravity bomb down like a cowboy on a bull? | ||
| Yeehaw, baby. | ||
| World War III. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| I mean, my more conspiratorial-minded friends are freaking out. | ||
| I don't blame them. | ||
| Saying, get out, time to go to the country. | ||
| I got a bunch of emails being like, you don't understand, it's time to get out of the city. | ||
| Because we're in the nuclear era, man. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| You might have restraint from any of these countries, for now. | ||
| And then eventually, when they realize they're losing, mutually assured destruction means nothing. | ||
| I think San Diego's probably the biggest area that would be hit first, right? | ||
| It's our biggest port. | ||
| San Pedro, right? | ||
| I thought San Diego was our biggest port on the west coast. | ||
| I don't know if it's San Diego, but I know the San Pedro port, which is basically LA. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, it's like south of Los Angeles. | ||
| San Pedro. | ||
| I think it's San Pedro. | ||
| I used to drive past it all the time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, maybe, but... I mean, we're on the east coast, so like, what would, you know... New York? | ||
| Like, no rads over here, isn't it? | ||
| So it's like... | ||
| Dude, listen. | ||
| One multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicle with ten warheads on it could wipe out the eastern seaboard. | ||
| Yeah, you're right. | ||
| Like the major cities, just... So, I'm not saying... I don't know, I don't know. | ||
| I don't want to get that crazy. | ||
| I feel like I have more... I just believe in the American military because they've been getting so much money over the past years. | ||
| Yes, bureaucracy, government sluggishness. | ||
| Yeah, you know, but don't you think that they have... I mean, we talked about it. | ||
| They gotta have stuff we don't know about. | ||
| Totally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Like the Manhattan Project, we didn't know until they dropped those bombs. | ||
| Yeah, and then it was like, whoa, that's a huge bomb. | ||
| Like, what just happened? | ||
| It's like, oh yeah, by the way, we've been working on that with scientists. | ||
| This is what scares me about World War III. | ||
| A lot of people have said, mad, mutually assured destruction, guarantees, we wouldn't see that kind of conflict, right? | ||
| Let's say we go to war and it's Russia and China, and then we storm the beaches of Hong Kong, greeted as liberators, and we charge in, and we're sweeping through the land, and Xi Jinping is getting cornered in his room. | ||
| it's not gonna be like Hitler or Nazi Germany where he, you know, put a bullet in his head | ||
| or whatever. | ||
| Oh, he's not gonna take a pill. | ||
| No, he's gonna hit the button. | ||
| He's gonna be like, you're going down with me. | ||
| Wham! | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Nuke. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Nukes, plural. | ||
| And then you're gonna be sitting in Philly and you're gonna be like, looking up, what | ||
| is that? | ||
| And then you're gonna see a shock and a flash and then you're blind. | ||
| And then a few seconds later you're gonna go whoosh. | ||
| And then. | ||
| You're gonna be a shadow on the wall, man. | ||
| That's... you know... Maybe they'll get that crazy. | ||
| Maybe they'll be that angry. | ||
| I refuse to go down. | ||
| I'll take you with me. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They are an honor culture. | ||
| Well, that does seem fairly extreme. | ||
| We can rewind everything all the way back to where we are right now and get away from all that speculation and to just say one thing. | ||
| This is the craziest it's ever been in my life. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| This is insane. | ||
| And so if there was ever a time to speculate as to the end being nigh, it would certainly be now. | ||
| You know what really scared me? | ||
| What? | ||
| I was thinking about something earlier. | ||
| I didn't realize how much Donald Trump's words actually affected me. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Over the past couple of weeks, I was feeling like, this is boring, nothing's happening. | ||
| Everything felt fine. | ||
| Because Trump was telling everyone. | ||
| Trump kept saying, we're going to reopen things, it's not a big deal. | ||
| When Trump came out and said, this is going to be the roughest couple of weeks our nation has ever faced. | ||
| I mean, he said today though, that it, you know, it's, it's bad, but we're going to get through this. | ||
| It's, you know, it was kind of like, it felt like a couple of weeks ago, not like the last, the past few days where he's like, this is going to get bad. | ||
| It's going to get really bad. | ||
| You know, I didn't realize that, I guess subconsciously, when you look to the president and he acts like he doesn't care, it really does affect you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It does. | |
| It's true. | ||
| You're like, if he doesn't care, why should I? | ||
| And that's normal for how people react in positions where you're looking to the leader who's in charge of this stuff. | ||
| And that's what they say when they're teaching people to be leaders. | ||
| Display calm and optimism and the people will feel good and their morale will be better. | ||
| When Trump came out and said, It's getting bad. | ||
| All of a sudden, you know, I'm looking at the news and I'm like, oh man. | ||
| It was like the chink in the armor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know? | ||
| You saw through the facade a little bit. | ||
| Like... Not that it was a facade, but just like you could see that he was starting to feel the pressure himself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know, and it showed. | ||
| Yeah, I know what you mean. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So there was a guy paddleboarding by himself. | ||
| Yeah, I saw that. | ||
| He got arrested. | ||
| They told us, you can go outside and go for walks and go exercise. | ||
| And they said it was no big deal. | ||
| Governor Murphy in New Jersey was like, go outside, you know, go for a walk, do your thing, just don't gather in groups. | ||
| A woman was in Florida, walking around down, or I think it was in Florida, walking around downtown, cops arrested her. | ||
| By herself? | ||
| No, she's got an ankle monitor. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't understand that though. | ||
| What is the deal there? | ||
| That doesn't make any sense. | ||
| She had taken a test. | ||
| She clearly was doing social distancing to the max. | ||
| she was walking on by herself face book living | ||
| because the cops the cops came arrested her by herself what is the deal there that doesn't | ||
|
unidentified
|
make any sense she had taken a test and it had clearly was doing social | |
| distancing to the max she was by herself here's here's here's where it's weird | ||
| nowhere i mean the city but who's in the city walking around | ||
| Was there other people, do you know? | ||
| No, there was no... Well, she did go... She went to a grocery... A retail store or something and, like, walked around. | ||
| A retail store was open? | ||
| I guess. | ||
| Or maybe she was, like, looking in the window. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The paddle-boating guy. | ||
| The paddle-boarding guy. | ||
| That's crazy to me. | ||
| Two lifeguard, you know, boats or whatever cruise up and... A coast guard, I think. | ||
| And then he goes to the shore and they arrest him. | ||
| They walk him out. | ||
| That's nuts. | ||
| He was in the ocean by himself. | ||
| Exercising. | ||
| Some woman gave a quote where she said she was worried the virus was getting in the water and then being kicked up into the air. | ||
| And I'm like, that's insane, dude. | ||
| How? | ||
| Where are these large quantities of viruses all across the ocean? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Could it even survive in that kind of an environment? | ||
| Do you know this? | ||
| Yeah, so marine animals eat a lot of them. | ||
| A lot of viruses? | ||
| Yeah, they eat a lot of viruses. | ||
| And they survive. | ||
| And they save us from a lot of them, actually. | ||
| Think about that vast open space in the ocean. | ||
| Yeah, I could imagine there may be some virus somewhere, but the idea that it's all up in the air and he's swimming through it so they have to arrest him? | ||
| Just because the waves are like hitting the rocks and splashing him in the air? | ||
| There were no rocks. | ||
| It was the beach. | ||
| I know, but there's rocks along the whole coastline though, you know? | ||
| Where he was? | ||
| There's still a mist in the air in the mornings, you know? | ||
| I'm wondering, is there another reason why the Coast Guard was clearing out the water for one person? | ||
| That's a really good question. | ||
| What, do you think that they're watching out into the ocean for- I don't know. | ||
| Not the virus? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that a marine? | |
| I've never- Yeah, something other than a virus? | ||
| Yeah, that was my first thought. | ||
| Do you know about that guy who got fired from- the captain of that aircraft carrier who got fired? | ||
| I don't know much about it. | ||
| Theodore, what was his name? | ||
| Crozier? | ||
| Crozier. | ||
| He was worried that the virus was in the ship, and he was asking help or something? | ||
| Yeah, he asked for help. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He got relieved because they said that the letter getting leaked We'll make our enemies think that our military is weak or weakened. | ||
| And so they replaced him. | ||
| Loose lips sink ships. | ||
| That's fair though. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's also scary right now when Venezuela is ramming cruise lines and opening fire. | ||
| But did he leak it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's not the point. | ||
| The fact that he put it in writing at all? | ||
| Doesn't matter. | ||
| Is that why? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The point is the military just fired a captain of a ship scared that the enemies think we're weak right now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| It's the most pressing thing for the American military right now that one ship, the military looks weak? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Is there a concern that we will be attacked for some reason? | ||
| If, maybe, they're thinking, if we do look weak, that's more, it's raising the chance that we're gonna get attacked. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Right? | ||
| But would, does any American think in their, like, are, is anyone of you at home right now thinking like, well, it's just a matter of time until America gets attacked? | ||
| It's, it's, it's not even a part of our, our daily, no one thinks at any point anyone is going to go after an aircraft carrier. | ||
| It certainly feels like it. | ||
| The military just relieved a guy saying loose lips sink ships, worried that he made our military look weak. | ||
| Why? Is there a concern we might be attacked by an opportunistic foreign adversary who is looking for a chance to strike? | ||
| It certainly feels like it. | ||
| Oh yeah, man. | ||
| It does. | ||
| And that brings me to the next portion of this segment. | ||
| The conflict with our own allies. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And what that leads us to, and I don't know about that. | ||
| But I will say, if Canada is in dire straits, and look, Canada and Russia are right next to each other. | ||
| People often don't look at the map and think about what the North Pole is. | ||
| We live in a globe, man. | ||
| It's a sphere, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true. | |
| We got the picture right here, the little globe on the planet. | ||
| Canada's right there. | ||
| It's a hop, skip, and a jump to Russia. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What happens if Canada's running out of resources? | ||
| We have no choice but to help them. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We're gonna start seeing factions forming. | ||
| Like, strong factions. | ||
| I mean, obviously there's already the BRICS nations, there's NATO. | ||
| Canada's like, they're angry at us. | ||
| But eventually, they're gonna need supplies. | ||
| Venezuela clearly does. | ||
| They're gonna ask for help. | ||
| This is how the factions start forming. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then... So let's jump to the next, uh... Let's do some superchats. | |
| Let's grab some superchats from y'all. | ||
| And we're gonna talk about World War 3. | ||
| We'll get some comments from you guys. | ||
| And see, we got a ton of superchats, so we might have to go quick. | ||
| NotABannedAccount asks, when we defeat Venezuela, can we keep the oil? | ||
| Well, as per traditional US policy, we're going to anyway! | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Daniel says, hey there fellow Beanie Squad, hope everyone is okay and washing their hands. | ||
| Just want to give a shout out to my fellow wastewater treatment plant workers and operators that still have to work. | ||
| Thank you for that, because people do not think about that every day, and that's, I mean... It's another reason, I think. | ||
| That's an amazing thing. | ||
| It's like, that's the top invention, isn't it? | ||
| The number one invention? | ||
| Sanitation? | ||
| Was toilets, and like the whole... Cities couldn't exist without it. | ||
| Yeah, it's like, thank you. | ||
| People would throw, like, I don't know if this is true, but I heard like they would just splash poop buckets out the window. | ||
| It's like, I love being able to go into the toilet room and use the toilet. | ||
| Play video games on your phone. | ||
| Get your phone all gross and dirty. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Don't wash it. | ||
| Then shake someone's hand. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Especially yours. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Kyle Buchanan says, I talked to my sister about the TP shortage and her response was everyone is stuck in their home so they have to eat their own cooking. | ||
| Kyle says, Tim, if we did go to war, we are safe. | ||
| There is more explosive ordnance in Oklahoma than most of the world's militaries have. | ||
| Important point as well. | ||
| I sure am glad we have a Second Amendment right now. | ||
| True that. | ||
| All of the urban liberals who started running to these gun shops for the first time, never realizing why they might need a weapon, I'm not saying I know for a fact a war is coming. | ||
| I'm just more worried about it than I've ever been. | ||
| Not because I think it's very, very likely, but I think we're closer than we've ever been. | ||
| Well, this is, everybody has a little bit of a feeling of it. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| They get the essence of it. | ||
| I mean, everyone's afraid right now already because of World War C. I just came up with that. | ||
| World War C. But check it out. | ||
| Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| We're not going to get invaded. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| Everybody and their grandma in this country has got a weapon, except for like city folk. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| But you try and make your way through the middle of the country and there's going to be like a little old lady and she's going to be like, oh, where's that? | ||
| Where are you from? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No way! | |
| That's America. | ||
| That's a great old lady. | ||
| Yeah, it reminds me of Hot Fuzz. | ||
| You see that movie? | ||
| Great movie. | ||
| Where the old lady and everybody's pulling out guns and stuff. | ||
| That's America, man. | ||
| Alright, Jim, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Evan S. says, Hey Tim, Sunday, April 6th is First Contact Day. | ||
| In 43 more years, the Vulcans will show up in Bozeman, Montana. | ||
| Hop in your van to wait for the aliens with Matt Christensen. | ||
| I wish. | ||
| I love this mental image! | ||
| I'm trying not to laugh, but it's funny! | ||
| Venezuela's pathetic. | ||
| cruise liner. Can you can you imagine that a cruise liner just | ||
| like doting about its business and the Venezuelan Navy bounces | ||
| off of it and sinks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love this mental image. | |
| Trying not to laugh but it's funny. | ||
| Venezuela is pathetic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're like, oh, let's go take the let's try to take it down. | |
| They're like, ahhh. | ||
| Reminds me of a Star Trek episode where I remember it's probably a bunch of them the Enterprise like encounters the | ||
| ship that's firing on it and they're like, they're like some | ||
| rumbling and the captain asks like what's happening is like He's firing lasers. | ||
| And they're like, lasers? | ||
| They can't damage us. | ||
| That was funny. | ||
| Like, what are they doing? | ||
| They're throwing sticks at us. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, catch says the virgin Venezuela versus the Chad America. I'm taking bets | ||
| S head says I feel like This is unifying everybody. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| before World War III starts. | ||
| So, with the Boogaloo, what, like America Civil War II? | ||
| Civil War II, American Boogaloo, or whatever? | ||
| Is that what you're saying? | ||
| I don't think it's gonna happen anymore. | ||
| This is unifying everybody. | ||
| No, I don't know about that, man. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The paddleboard dude getting arrested? | ||
| It feels like there's an ulterior, or another reason for that. | ||
| It's like, why? | ||
| Why are they protecting the West Coast? | ||
| We just said it, like, 10 minutes before. | ||
| What's our, what's our, the number one target? | ||
| Our, the biggest ports. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Where was he? | ||
| In the South Carolina seas, it's like, or California seas, you know, it's like. | ||
| He was in Malibu. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe the reason they're going after the individual paddle boat boarding is because the opportunity of one saboteur to be carrying something or to go somewhere, who knows? | ||
| They're probably afraid. | ||
| What's this one person coming in? | ||
| We don't know who that is. | ||
| Get out of the water. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| There was a tweet where someone said, are you trying to start the boogaloo because it's how you get a boogaloo, like the meme? | ||
| Because you start arresting random people who are minding their own business. | ||
| People freak out. | ||
| It doesn't sit well. | ||
| Unless or until someone attacks an American military ship. | ||
| So I'll make a soft prediction. | ||
| Keep an eye out for like if one of these ships Trump sends all of it sends all of a sudden gets attacked and blown up and Americans are sinking and stuff like that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Cause this is the kind of stuff that happens. | ||
| Don't forget the Gulf of Tonkin incident where, you know, as American ship says it got attacked. | ||
| Oh no, we had to get involved in Vietnam. | ||
| That's how it goes down. | ||
| I don't know though. | ||
| You know, we'll see what happens. | ||
| Ghost of Bill Cooper says, Tim, you should look into the expanding Earth. | ||
| It's an alternative theory to the standard plate tectonics model, but uses a lot of the same data PT uses. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Yeah, interesting. | ||
| Andersthon says, FFFFF. | ||
| Ceylon Blue says, two topics for you. | ||
| Check out DARPA Xenobot program. | ||
| Also, inventor Salvatore Páez on Google patents for Navy anti-gravity ship. | ||
| Have a good weekend, team. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| Nobody else, thanks for joining. | ||
| I will say, the reason why I'm excited for World War III is because then the U.S. | ||
| military will finally unveil all their top secret weapons. | ||
| So we know what's going on. | ||
| And one day we'll see a bunch of hovercrafts floating around and like dudes in armored jump jet suits and they can fly and they've got like lasers on their, you know, plasma. | ||
| Oh yeah, those were revealed in World War III. | ||
| Yeah, like, well, the nuke. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nobody knew it existed. | ||
| And then one day, World War II, they were like, by the way, we just wiped out two cities with a single strike. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| People were like, what? | ||
| Well, it was two different strikes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Well, I mean, like, one, you know, yeah, it was the two different planes. | ||
| One strike, yeah. | ||
| But I mean, like, they both went... | ||
| Civilians! | ||
| Targeting civilians with nukes. | ||
| I heard that the reason they did it, I don't know if there's an apocryphal or conspiracy theory, but I read that Japan was ready to surrender, but the US military wanted a guaranteed deterrent to remind everybody of our power. | ||
| And so they were like, let's not entertain any potential surrenders and just do it. | ||
| That's messed up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, and there have been some people, like I think it was Iran who said the U.S. | ||
| should give away all of its nuclear weapons because it's the only country who's ever used them, against civilians no less. | ||
| I'm hoping that whatever we've developed since the Cold War, the arms race, is more focused. | ||
| But you know a lot of people don't realize the power of nuclear weapons. | ||
| Did you know that a modern nuclear device, ICBM, is 1,250 times more powerful? | ||
| There's something called a MIRV, a Multiple Independently Targeting Reentry Vehicle. | ||
| It can carry, I think it's like 8 to 12 warheads. | ||
| A single ICBM launches into the stratosphere, and then, and they all come down, and they can go doof doof doof doof along the eastern seaboard, or whatever country. | ||
| And you thought, one, you know, megaton bomb. | ||
| There's also the Russian Tsar Bomba. | ||
| I think it was a gravity bomb, which means they just drop it. | ||
| But they had it at like a quarter capacity, and the shockwave was so powerful, that when they turned around, the plane fell from the sky two kilometers before being able to catch itself, because it was in the shockwave. | ||
| Yeah, the weapons we've made since then are scary. | ||
| Like, this planet's gonna get torn to shreds. | ||
| Maybe that's how the simulation ends. | ||
| Maybe that's the grand culmination. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Blow it all up. | ||
| Just white static. | ||
| White static, yeah. | ||

|
Oh, I don't know. | |
| My mom made me. | ||
| Not about war, but... Judy says, ship is build an Arctic cruiser, especially thick. | ||
| Yeah, it was a polar exploration cruise ship. | ||
| Yeah, it goes through the ice in there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's funny. | |
| Have you seen videos of that? | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, it's cool stuff. | ||
| They crash through it. | ||
| It's nuts. | ||
| Corto says, get ready for more of us authoritarians, Tim. | ||
| People are calling for my ilk to take power. | ||
| Let's just hope us nice ones are the ones left standing. | ||
| Authoritarianism is bad, but you know what? | ||
| When a world war breaks out, no one's going to ask any questions. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| They're going to be like, tell me where to stand and tell me what to shoot. | ||
| Because otherwise, what's the alternative? | ||
| Some people will ignore it, and they'll go hide. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's impossible to know what's worse. | ||
| friends who think shutting the counties is a good idea, that the economy collapsing and | ||
| leaving us in the dark ages with riots would be worse, but they don't agree. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's impossible to know what's worse. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But I can say if the economy stops, the nurses quit. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We have to figure something out to find some sort of middle ground. | ||
| Because we can't have that, you know? | ||
| If people feel like the system is broken, they're gonna be like... If these doctors or nurses feel like their life is threatened, they'll leave. | ||
| You gotta secure your own mask before securing the mask of the person sitting next to you. | ||
| And it feels like they already feel that way. | ||
| Yeah, some of them do. | ||
| I know they do. | ||
| Some of them are quitting. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So we're already at that point. | ||
| The economy's got it. | ||
| And they're getting paid still. | ||
| Some of them are getting cuts. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So if they lose all income, it's like, what are they still there for? | ||
| Just to risk their lives? | ||
| I mean, yes, they're heroes, but that can only go so far before they're like, I have to go protect my family or myself. | ||
| Well, the government's going to conscript people. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The draft. | ||
| The New Age draft. | ||
| Oh, yeah, dude. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Mr. James says, know anyone that can dissect deepfakes? | ||
| Asked because Biden's face in video you posted on Twitter looks a little too two-dimensional, know what I mean? | ||
| He just looks like he's deteriorating really bad. | ||
| I know, man. | ||
| That's a whole other conversation. | ||
| Albie Dam says, I was watching the quartering earlier today and I thought I'd ask directly, what's going on with you and your brother? | ||
| Nothing I would care to comment on publicly, probably because no one really cares about it, but also legal matters are best kept private. | ||
| Ian Emmons says, Beanie Man, my neighbors are having a party. | ||
| Well, you know, I guess it can do the thing. | ||
| But are you gonna snitch on him? | ||
| You better not. | ||
| Don't do it. | ||
| Yeah, let's avoid the authoritarianism. | ||
| Yeah, agreed. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Ted says, in Marcella, oops, did I just dead handle her? | ||
| Is Marcella. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Jesse Vorwald says, 1816, year without summer. | ||
| VE17 Tambora Dalton Min. | ||
| Mega Executioner says, plans on an intro theme for Streamlight Crowder? | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| We'll make one. | ||
| We got the recording stuff getting set up. | ||
| Yep, she's actually upstairs working on an intro song for us. | ||
| Oh cool, there you go. | ||
| Amethyst Waverin says, Cuomo is taking upstate ventilators while sitting on a stockpile. | ||
| He's also shipping patients upstate despicable. | ||
| You know what man, when it gets bad, I don't know what you expect to happen. | ||
| They're going to come and they're going to tell you what to do and people are going to say, thank you sir, yes sir. | ||
| Sean Hanner says, you guys should read books by Robert A. Heinlein. | ||
| My favorite is Starship Troopers. | ||
| He writes some really good sci-fave books. | ||
| If he wrote Starship Troopers. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| I've read it. | ||
| I mean, I've watched it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Waterdancer says, I work at Amazon and someone was just diagnosed with COVID-19 last night. | ||
| They offer voluntary time off and I'm staying home to not take any chances. | ||
| Stay safe. | ||
| Stay safe. | ||
| John Smith says, thought my sister had COVID, but it's just bronchitis. | ||
| Good news. | ||
| Well, stay even more safe. | ||
| Yeah, seriously. | ||
| Because that would not go well with COVID, so. | ||
| Jack Timmerman says, spoke with the CDC rep today. | ||
| Said that he wasn't sure if people who died and tested positive for COVID-19 | ||
| were included in the virus death count or not. | ||
| All Metal Mike says, why didn't the aliens in all the sci-fi movies ever made | ||
| just drop a contagious virus like COVID, or worse, kill everyone and conquer the planet? | ||
| It'd be boring. | ||
| The funny thing about like Independence Day. | ||
| The story would just end. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Good job aliens! | ||
| Yeah, reality is exciting. | ||
| Right. | ||
| If aliens came to earth and it was a strategic military attack, they would just be like, okay, we've targeted all of their oil production sites. | ||
| We've launched the missiles. | ||
| They're all gone. | ||
| And we'll wait one day. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| The entire economy of the world is crippled and they have no more weapons. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they would probably target all the world leaders as well. | ||
| I'm assuming. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Justin O'Toole says, is it plausible that a black op was operating from this reinforced cruise ship doing maintenance in open waters instead of a port or a dry dock? | ||
| That's what Venezuela's trying to claim, that mercenaries were on board and they were planning some kind of... You know what it could have been? | ||
| Even if it was true, how would they know? | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| offered a $15 million bounty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So you get some mercenaries. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is true. | |
| Yep. | ||
| Yeah, but when did they issue that bounty, though? | ||
| I thought that was like two days ago. | ||
| That was a while ago, wasn't it? | ||
| It's been a while. | ||
| Oh, it's been around for a while? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, okay, okay. | ||
| A couple days. | ||
| So then, yeah, if that makes sense. | ||
| I mean, now they're like, oh man, our back's against a wall. | ||
| Or they're just paranoid and they see a cruise ship and they're like, ah, he's coming for Maduro, go get him. | ||
| And the people on the cruise ship are like, what's going on? | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| Why are you ramming us? | ||
| Why are you ramming us? | ||
| Oh, they're sinking. | ||
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bye. | |
| And then Venezuela got mad because they didn't rescue any of them. | ||
| Well, they were ramming them. | ||
| And shooting at them. | ||
| And shooting at them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Later. | |
| Let me rescue you now. | ||
| You were trying to kill me just 10 minutes ago. | ||
| It reminds me of every stupid movie where they're like trying to save the bad guy and the bad guy turns on them. | ||
| It's like, dude, don't save the bad guy. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Nobody else says, Tim, you were wrong about the post office yesterday. | ||
| We are so- I was wrong. | ||
| We are so short-staffed, some offices can't service all home- service all home every day, so you might have to deal with the mail delivery every other day. | ||
| I was wrong. | ||
| I thought the story said that some services were being suspended. | ||
| That's what the story said. | ||
| I have friends in New York that work, they own a skate shop, and the post office closed. | ||
| They can't send anything out anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| So some post offices are closing. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| Look, man. | ||
| I guess not all post offices. | ||
| I think the simple solution is, if there was ever going to be a war, the only opportunity to strike is now. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Our New York is crippled. | ||
| You know, our economy is shut down. | ||
| Our ships are full of sick people. | ||
| And they control our medicine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The soft underbelly. | ||
| And a lot more than that, actually, but that's pretty huge. | ||
| It's almost like America is this cat and it opened up its paws and its claws. | ||
| And now China can reach its hand in and go for the belly scratches, but it might, you know, clamp back down. | ||
| But it can't because it's sick. | ||
| That's the best analogy for what's happening. | ||
| The best. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let's read some more. | ||
| I'll just go with that. | ||
| Astro says, keep in mind ramming a cruise ship with a patrol boat would be like ramming a semi-truck with a bicycle. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| That's why it's so funny. | ||
| But who would do that? | ||
| Jay Man says, do you think the Democratic Party will suddenly pull out Biden and put in Cuomo since his popularity has shot up? | ||
| I am worried about the health of Biden because those videos he's been putting out, it really looks like he's on his last days. | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| No, I 100% agree with you. | ||
| He's sluggish. | ||
| He does not look healthy. | ||
| His face is red. | ||
| His eyes are drooped. | ||
| And he's just going like, well, you gotta do it. | ||
| It's like he's asleep. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think I've seen that. | ||
| Look, I don't know. | ||
| I'm not a doctor, but I've seen people who are close in age, you know, just losing it. | ||
| Well, when they get close to that age, like his decline is happening faster and faster. | ||
| He's under incredible stress. | ||
| It's not it's not just that it's like. | ||
| I have seen people who are older, and when they get close to the point where they finally pass, they seem to be kind of okay, and the decline just goes exponentially faster and faster and faster. | ||
| And then I see that. | ||
| I feel like I see that in Biden. | ||
| His debate a couple weeks ago, where he's on stage muttering and mumbling, versus him sitting in his room, face all red, struggling to speak, was very different. | ||
| Yeah, it's true. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| And it's like, he's in his room. | ||
| Is it live? | ||
| Or is it recorded? | ||
| They're live. | ||
| Oh, they're live. | ||
| A lot of them are live. | ||
| Yeah, alright. | ||
| And then he mutters and mumbles, he doesn't make sense. | ||
| But the sluggishness, his desperate struggle to read the cue cards. | ||
| Yikes, man. | ||
| Christopher says, you thinking that Corona is fake? | ||
| Are you willing to bet your life on that? | ||
| I think you just don't like being told what to do, so are making excuses. | ||
| You put everyone else at risk. | ||
| More cases, more mutation risk. | ||
| I have no idea what you're talking about, because I was one of, like, compared to the rest of the media, I was the one consistently telling people to take it seriously, and then I think it's gonna get really bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, really? | ||
| Did you not get the vibe that we were trying to prepare everyone? | ||
| Maybe it was all of the commercials for emergency food that I did that made him think that I was telling people it's not a big deal and to ignore it. | ||
| Oh yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| I'm a little confused. | ||
| Matty Bone says, I was a sailor in the carrier Independence. | ||
| What that captain did was wrong, projecting weakness on a ship of war. | ||
| That was more harmful to sailors. | ||
| Interesting, yeah. | ||
| John Hill says, Hey Tim, when coronavirus is over, what do you think China's relationship with the rest of the world will be? | ||
| If they win, they'll own it and control it. | ||
| And if they lose, they'll be glass. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| I'm being very, very hyperbolic in that statement, mind you. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Doug Morton says, World War III, everyone against China because they lied about COVID-19. | ||
| I'm not so sure. | ||
| When you look at the John Hopkins map, Russia looks fine. | ||
| Still. | ||
| And technically, China does too, but that's probably because they're lying. | ||
| And Europe and the U.S. | ||
| look awful. | ||
| But other countries don't look nearly as bad. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| It's the EU, it's the U.S., so. | ||
| I mean, people keep bringing up Sweden, and Sweden's doing fine. | ||
| They're not locking down. | ||
| schools are still open it's kind of weird it's kind of weird it's like they have this really uncanny way of just staying true and maintaining through wars there's a delay though i know that's true and you know i i hope it doesn't hit crazy but i mean i know people there and it's it seems like it's just okay The Dashing Rogue says, Russia is not our friends. | ||
| Look up the Foundation of Geopolitics by Alexander Dugin, in which he encourages using Afro-American racist and separatist groups within the United States to sow discord. | ||

| I gotta be honest. | ||
| True. | ||
| It's not my intention to say like, ah, it's coming, run. | ||
| I'm just watching all this stuff and I'm curious. | ||
| And wouldn't it be wonderful if this all just went away? | ||
| I would like to be wrong. | ||
| Wouldn't it be great? | ||
| I'm sure everybody would be like, oh, the virus is over? | ||
| Oh, we can go to our favorite restaurant. | ||
| We can go back to work. | ||
| We're not going to go to war? | ||
| We can go back to our luxury bubble. | ||

| Chris says, did you see the story regarding Florida resident Hexin Zhang proudly filmed herself buying large amounts of PPE to be sent back to China on Twitter? | ||
| These stupid Americans don't know what's coming. | ||
| You know, I actually have people tweeting at me from Costa Rica, other South, many different countries that are saying that exact same thing that they were like, look, thank you for helping us prepare. | ||
| And by the way, I definitely was at the store and I saw they were telling me that Sorry, we sold all of this stuff that you're looking for to this Chinese person and they bought everything. | ||
| And then they went to three or four different places. | ||
| I mean, I'm hearing this from multiple people from all over the world. | ||
| It's like, wow. | ||
| In January, China instructed citizens working in other countries to start buying up as much medical equipment as possible and sending it back to China. | ||
| That is an attack, man. | ||
| It's crazy, man. | ||
| They knew what was coming, they lied about it, and they took our stuff. | ||
| They knew about it. | ||
| Well, Australia and Canada. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||

| It doesn't have that same kombucha taste. | ||
| It tastes like, like a, I don't know, it doesn't have that like twang of the vinegar taste | ||
| I was gonna make a really bad joke about kombucha. | ||
| You hate it, I know you do. | ||

unidentified

I was gonna say, it doesn't have that sweaty armpit taste. | |
| No, you should taste this, because I feel like you would actually like it. | ||

unidentified

I don't know, man. | |
| Because it doesn't have that same, like, vinegar? | ||
| No, I'm not into vinegar. | ||
| Like, alcoholy vinegar zing of some kombuchas have. | ||
| I mean, I like kombucha, and there's a really wide spectrum of flavors with it, but this stuff is really good. | ||
| It's all vinegar to me. | ||
| Smooth. | ||
| I'm gonna force you to try it. | ||
| I'll try it. | ||
| I'm down. | ||

| Mark G says, reading through newspapers from the six months leading up to World War I. | ||
| Crazy similarities to now. | ||
| British suffragettes sound like Antifa and headbutting between nations leading up to | ||
| more erratic behavior. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| Keith Wagner says, Crowder came out with a video today on fish tank lady. | ||
| The info made your media new and decided not to share. | ||
| And the biased narrative they took regarding info they didn't share. | ||
| Have you seen it? | ||
| And what are your thoughts? | ||
| My general understanding is that Crowder said This woman was trying to divorce her husband, had been abusive towards him, and then she was a Democratic donor, not a Trump supporter, hated the guy, posted negative things about him on social media, and then all of a sudden they both trusted Trump and drank fish tank cleaner or whatever. | ||
| And so I guess what he's getting at, I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth and I don't want to get sued, so I'll just say it sounds like the story may be, Yeah. | ||
| And now she got away with it. | ||
| him knowing, ingested a little bit herself so she would survive and he wouldn't, and | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| then she went, but we saw it on the TV and the media ate the narrative up and no one | ||
| pursued her. | ||
| And now she got away with it. | ||
| But you know, truth is stranger than fiction. | ||
| We've been working on stuff like the Strategic Defense Initiative for a long time. | ||
| I can tell you that the US has multiple means of defense against ballistic nuclear missiles | ||

| Bringer says, no matter how bad things get, it's a leader's responsibility to maintain the illusion that things will work out. | ||

| Yup. | ||
| China's got concentration camps where they harvest organs. | ||
| It's like, I, you know, I tell people that and every single person that I, I I'm like, yeah, you know about this? | ||
| No. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| What? | ||
| And they're all shocked. | ||
| And it's like, how come people don't know about this? | ||
| And tell them this, like... It's insane. | ||
| They have concentration camps. | ||
| They're harvesting organs. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| This is the craziest conspiracy. | ||
| This has been going on. | ||
| The craziest conspiracy I've heard is that they're doing emergency lung transplants for COVID victims. | ||

| That's the conspiracy theory. | ||

| Doug says, The thing about the paddle boarder, if that guy starts to drown, that on-duty lifeguard has to rescue him and give him mouth-to-mouth. | ||
| If the dude's got the CCP cough, that's 100% transmission. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| And another point I made too is, if this guy starts doing it and other people start coming thinking they can as well, then the beach gets overwhelmed, so they try to nip the bud before it gets too crazy. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| David. | ||
| David Aramond says, the kayaker being pulled in is based on the lessons from the USS Cole in October 2000. | ||
| It was successfully bombed by suicide attack because of relaxed guarding. | ||
| This was the lesson of what a few or one could do. | ||
| If that's the case, and that's what I'm saying, are they really scared about an attack? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And that's why they're like, get out? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's scary. | ||
| Yep. | ||

| By the way, I heart you, Tim. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Simon Enifer says, Tim, China's 100-year plan is in the toilet. | ||
| Anything is possible. | ||
| Shaila Prosser, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Hayami says, John Titor predicted World War III. | ||
| The cause may be different now, but maybe it's because he affected the timeline. | ||
| But events are all still happening before 2036. | ||
| After this blows over, time machine? | ||
| You know what John Titor is? | ||
| No. | ||
| It's a viral website. | ||
| It was like forum posts where a guy claimed he was from the future. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And set a whole bunch of crazy predictions. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| would crumble into, like, four different regions and stuff. | ||
| And my understanding is that none of it has come true or something. | ||
| So the broken clock. | ||
| Yeah, well, you know, fun internet speculations. | ||
| Xerxes says, Tim, why did you guys stop posting live streams in the community tab? | ||
| Notice that you put in 39, but 36 to 38. | ||
| I had to listen in on Apple Podcasts, and already Sojuz looks different than last time. | ||
| It's the beard. | ||
| It comes and goes. | ||
| I just slipped because we switched how we were posting things and then I forgot to post them and I was like, oh man, I gotta keep posting them. | ||
| We'll have to get it set up better. | ||
| We do have episodes 31 through 39 up. | ||
| Those should all be visible on all platforms. | ||
| Yeah, everything's on iTunes. | ||
| And it should be Spotify too, I think. | ||

| Ethan Barron says, Tim and Soy, Jesus, will you fight in a war for our country if it comes to that? | ||
| Yes, I will. | ||
| I absolutely would. | ||
| Oh man, we just jumped again. | ||

| There we go. | ||
| I like Fry. | ||

Wow. | |

| Andrew says, hey Tim, Lydia, and soy Jesus. | ||
| Out of y'all's professional opinion, what is the most likely scenario where multiple nations will be able to successfully invade the United States and take over our government? | ||
| P.S. | ||
| I promise I'm not a commie. | ||
| Wink wink. | ||
| Well, I am not a professional in anything that that question relates to. | ||
| But as a kombucha drinking skateboarder and male model, what is your expert opinion? | ||
| I no longer am professional in any of those, except the kombucha drinking. | ||
| As you did a promo. | ||
| For free. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think the chances are really slim. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think it's going to happen. | ||
| All of a sudden you'll see every American yelling Molon Labe. | ||
| Like every single one, every liberal, every overweight, feminist gender studies will be standing on the beach. | ||
| Yeah, you're one of them. | ||
| I'm kidding, but most of them, many of people. | ||
| We're gonna come together. | ||
| They're gonna be like, come and take it. | ||
| Don't tread on me. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| Yeah, don't tread on me. | ||
| Thanks for your service though. | ||

| Nice. | ||
| And Eric says, LA County beaches are closed. | ||
| Fish tank cleaner lady probably now owns a fish rescue. | ||
| Which brings us to the next post-apocalyptic segment. | ||
| Trump is seizing the means of production. | ||
| He really is. | ||
| It's great, isn't it? | ||
| The government seizing the means of production. | ||
| We're all the commies to be celebrating. | ||
| They've been demanding that Trump invoke the Defense Production Act for a long time. | ||
| Even the Democrats? | ||
| That's what I mean, yeah. | ||
| The Democrats, well, of course they are. | ||
| They want the government to seize the means of production. | ||
| So of course they're happy about it. | ||
| Trump has finally invoked the Defense Production Act to force the 3M corporation to start diverting its masks to us, both from Southeast Asia and what they produce here, to stop exporting them. | ||
| Naturally, this is causing a lot of people to get really angry. | ||
| We have this story from the New York Times. | ||
| Trump seeks to block 3M masks exports and grab masks from its overseas customers. | ||
| The move would significantly expand the American government's reach and reverse President Trump's hesitant use of the Defense Production Act. | ||
| This is a wartime power. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| DPA, it was what, for like the Korean War, I think, or something, in the 50s. | ||
| And it was invoked for a couple weeks now, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Almost a month? | ||
| Maybe more? | ||
| But apparently... But he hasn't used it yet. | ||
| He has now. | ||
| Oh, he has. | ||
| Against 3M. | ||
| Right, this is it. | ||
| This is the first time he's used it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Trudeau is naturally mad. | ||
| Everybody who was supposed to be getting masks from us is mad. | ||
| This is a domino effect. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We have a shortage of masks. | ||
| So we were supposed to be getting masks from China. | ||
| China turns around the shit. | ||
| Right. | ||
| China's like, we need them more. | ||
| So then everyone in the U.S. | ||
| is like, we gotta start building stuff in our own country. | ||
| So we do. | ||
| Then a bunch of people say Trump isn't invoking the Defense Production Act, and he needs to. | ||
| So Trump then starts, you know, well, he tells 3M. | ||
| The big thing that was missed from this, that, well, the media didn't want to really say, is that these companies were already doing it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You had a bunch of companies that agreed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He didn't need to force him to do anything. | ||
| So he starts telling all of these companies, you need to, you know, make us masks and medical supplies, | ||
| and they just did it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He then got criticized for not, you know, forcing him to do it when they didn't need to. | ||
| Yeah, but can't you see, like, if he were to just invoke it and then instantly start doing | ||
| it, they'd be like, well, he's the authoritarian that we | ||
| thought he was. | ||
| Like, you know, like, of course he's gonna just start abusing his power. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So it's like one or the other. | ||
| It's like, I'm actually kind of surprised that the way that they built him up | ||
| to be such this bad guy, that he didn't abuse the power right away. | ||
| Like he wasn't he didn't like snap his fingers like all right I have the power hold my beer. | ||
| Here's the bigger picture. | ||
| From The Guardian, U.S. | ||
| accused of modern piracy after diversion of masks meant for Europe. | ||
| Will this strain the relationship between Europe and the U.S.? | ||
| Whether or not we're going to see World War III, the breakdown of relations between every single urban center is happening, okay? | ||
| It's true. | ||
| It's not just the EU complaining about the U.S., it's Germany closing its borders to France and Austria. | ||
| It's Rhode Island ordering the National Guard and the police to go door-to-door looking for New Yorkers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's Trump saying, maybe we ought to quarantine New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York. | ||
| So it's a breakdown of local borders, too. | ||
| Yeah, everything. | ||
| So in the last segment, we were talking about World War III. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, we got, you know, China's encroaching on the South China Sea. | ||
| Venezuela's attacking this cruise liner. | ||
| It's a hilarious and pathetic story. | ||
| Everybody makes fun of Venezuela. | ||
| They're pathetic. | ||
| But now we can see that the pandemic might actually be substantially worse than this. | ||
| It might be like New York City completely separate from the rest of New York. | ||
| It's gonna be, you know, Philadelphia closes the bridge, so those in the South, you know, South Jersey suburbs of Philly are completely cut off from Philly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Trapped on the peninsula. | ||
| That's the crazy thing about all this, like, Rhode Island straight-up said, if you're from New York, we're gonna hunt you down. | ||
| Like, we're gonna go door-to-door and we're gonna find you. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So... We don't want you here. | ||
| To what extent, you know, I don't know how this will impact relationships between the US and our allies, but we're being strained at home as well. | ||
| Over in Europe, they're facing something very similar. | ||
| This is from CNN. | ||
| Not necessarily a big fan of CNN, but here's the story. | ||
| Coronavirus sparks a war for masks as accusations fly, even within France. | ||
| We saw something crazy. | ||
| There were like medical supplies coming from France to go into the UK, and France impounded the trucks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So we're gonna start fighting each other, man. | ||
| Like, what happens when Canada's out of masks? | ||
| Are they just gonna go in and grab the truck and be like, no way, dude, we need it? | ||
| They're gonna come into America and take it? | ||
| Is that what you're suggesting? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| They're not gonna do that. | ||
| No. | ||
| No way. | ||
| What happens when people are desperate? | ||
| Venezuela just attacked a cruise ship. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I think you're right, you know, it's very, very extreme to think that could happen. | ||
| I think we'd have annexed Canada before that ever happened. | ||
| We'd straight up be like, welcome to the American Empire, now we'll give you stuff. | ||
| You're right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or, you know, look, the US... The 51st state, Canada! | |
| Yes! | ||
| I guess... That sounds great! | ||
| You're enthusiastic about that. | ||
| I like them too, but I mean, I don't want to take their country away from them. | ||
| How many provinces does Canada have? | ||
| Don't they have like 20? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, it's not just going to be one. | ||
| I thought it was less than that. | ||
| It's going to be like 75 states of America. | ||
| I thought it was like seven or something. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Aren't they huge? | ||
| Like big, massive different ones? | ||
| No, they got a bunch. | ||
| They got a bunch. | ||
| I don't know anything about Canada's government. | ||
| We're Americans. | ||
| We don't care. | ||
| I don't either. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| They know everything about us, though, because they're America Junior. | ||
| So there's a bunch of different aspects to this. | ||
| And the reason why I wanted to highlight Trump's seizing of masks, and I don't mean that in a negative way. | ||
| I mean, he's like taking them for American use. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| New York announced recently that illegal immigrants will get access to the hospital system. | ||
| How can we simultaneously complain that our masks are going to other countries while also claiming that people who are not citizens of our country would have access to our medical system? | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Didn't you just tell me that in New York City an emergency alert went out to all medical students? | ||
| Tell us what happened. | ||
| So yeah, so I was gaming earlier with a few of my friends, and one of them happens to be in New York. | ||
| He's in Staten Island, but that's New York City. | ||
| And I heard, you know, the emergency broadcast. | ||
| Your phone lights up, and he's like, oh, what is this? | ||
| And he reads it, and it's basically saying, if you're a medical student, if you know anything about like being a nurse, being if you're a doctor, | ||
| report to your nearest hospital where we need you right now. So they're | ||
| they're literally sending an alert system on all phones, all broadcasting in | ||
| the New York area. | ||
| Come and help us. It was there was a report that medical students were being | ||
| graduated early. Nurses certainly were. | ||
| Nurses. | ||
| They were just like, congratulations, you're done. | ||
| But I never actually don't care, go there. | ||
| We'll send you the diploma in a few years. | ||
| We're kicking the bird out of the nest. | ||
| Here's your clinicals for ya. | ||
| So you mean to tell me that Europe is fighting amongst the countries within their own union over resources and borders Even in the U.S., we got border disputes between states. | ||
| Trump had to dispatch big hospital ships to L.A. | ||
| and New York, and New York is like, but don't worry, non-citizens will have access to all of this health care. | ||
| The first thing I'll point out, they should. | ||
| In the immediate. | ||
| Because for one, we want to stop the spread of the virus, and there are people we have to treat and make sure they live. | ||
| But there will be a reckoning, because we cannot come out of this with people asking, people are going to be asking the question. | ||
| To me, that sounds like a seeds for the Civil War. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Like, why does your grandma get to live and mine doesn't? | ||
| Oh, because your grandma's taking her bed? | ||
| She got sick first? | ||
| No, that's not fair. | ||
| Oh, wait, your grandma's not a citizen? | ||
| Oh, snap. | ||
| You want to know what's scary, though? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You want to know what's scary, though? | |
| It's really easy for me to say right now we should definitely treat non-citizens as illegal immigrants, but what happens when there's no hospitals left and there's bodies lining the streets and there's someone who's not a citizen in front of the hospital and the doctor's coming out and there's someone who is with their mom, they're gonna be like, I will end you to save my mother's life. | ||
| And that's when it gets crazy. | ||
| Right now, not every hospital is overloaded. | ||
| They're getting there. | ||
| Right. | ||
| All I can think of is when you're coming back into the country, there's a U.S. | ||
| citizen line and a non-U.S. | ||
| citizen line. | ||
| And I see that happening. | ||
| You know, why wouldn't that be the case? | ||
| All the American citizens go in until there's no more. | ||
| Then they start taking in the non-Americans. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We had the Open Borders activists for years saying, like, we should decriminalize border crossings. | ||
| Doesn't every single Democratic candidate look like a moron right now when they all said in the debate stage, we will give access to health care, we will decriminalize border crossings, we'll put a moratorium on deportations? | ||
| We don't have enough hospital beds. | ||
| New York is launching emergency shelters, emergency hospitals. | ||
| They're launching ships because we don't have the resources for this. | ||
| And the entire thing Right now is that Trump has to invoke a wartime measure to seize masks that were going to be given, sold to other countries. | ||
| He instructs 3M to stop exporting out these masks. | ||
| We were criticizing China for doing the same thing. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| So these countries buy the masks from us and then Trump steps in? | ||
| No. | ||
| Yet people had the nerve this entire time. | ||
| So there's gonna be a reckoning. | ||
| You know, we talked about the feminism aspect of all of this, going back to the 1950s. | ||
| It's not even about that. | ||
| If Rhode Island is enforcing its borders, if Louisiana and Florida are enforcing their borders, you think the United States as a whole is not gonna enforce its borders? | ||
| It's gonna be crazy. | ||
| You know, some know that I've been playing Division 2, and it goes back to New York. | ||
| So I've been running around New York. | ||
| It's really cool. | ||
| I used to live in New York for 17 years. | ||
| And the final fight is on Liberty Island, which is the Statue of Liberty. | ||
| And there was a quote on the wall right when you get in there and I was like, I read it and I was like, whoa, like that's, and I'm going to read it. | ||
| I just pulled it up here. | ||
| It says, give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. | ||
| Send these the homeless tempest tossed to me. | ||
| I lift my lamp besides the golden door and it's like, Wow, that is not what I feel the general environment of America is right now. | ||
| It used to be so much easier to say that. | ||
| I know, you're right. | ||
| It used to be easier. | ||
| Now we have 28,000 people per square mile in New York City. | ||
| How many hospital beds do they have? | ||
| 3,000. | ||
| You know how many police officers New York City has? | ||
| What, like 8,000 or something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
8,000. | |
| 8,000? | ||
| And one in six is infected. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I could be wrong about that fact check, man. | ||
| I didn't pull that source up. | ||
| I always want to be careful with this. | ||
| I always line up all my sources whenever I say stuff. | ||
| But I was watching the news the other day, and that's what I remember seeing. | ||
| I'll tell you what, man. | ||
| If the NYPD gets crippled, someone's going to be hungry. | ||
| Someone's gonna go to a hospital and they're gonna be like I'm sick. | ||
| Save me, please. | ||
| They're gonna be like we can't yeah, but it's also it also goes back to you know, how bad things can really get with the hospitals doing the Talking about the do not rest the state orders. | ||
| Yeah, um, I think we're heading towards a It's not going to be scapegoating. | ||
| You know, people want to say it's scapegoating of like minorities or, you know, whatever. | ||
| But you better damn well believe that someone's going to be with their mom or their daughter. | ||
| Wait till you see some dude who's like 45. | ||
| He's got, you know, 13, 14 year old daughter who's sick and coughing up blood. | ||
| And then he gets to the hospital and there's someone who's not a citizen. | ||
| He's going to be like, you know what? | ||
| I'm gonna be very careful how I phrase this, but I'll tell you that that dad would be like, I have no problem going to prison for the rest of my life to make sure my daughter lives. | ||
| That's his hill to die on, for sure. | ||
| Yeah, that's every parent's hill to die on. | ||
| And here's the thing, there's gonna be a lot of Americans who are gonna be like, I don't blame them, those people weren't supposed to be, you know, they came here illegally, they broke our laws, they cut the line, they displaced other people. | ||
| Why are they getting that instead of an American child? | ||
| As human beings, non-citizens should receive the treatment, 100%. | ||
| Of course, yeah. | ||
| My fear is that we will come to a point where all the hospitals are overloaded. | ||
| They're already treating people in the hallways. | ||
| We had a thousand people die the other day in a single day. | ||
| Dude, in New York City, it's gone a little step above the DNR. | ||
| Paramedics, when they find people who are in cardiac arrest, if they cannot resuscitate on site, they leave them. | ||
| Whoa, wow. | ||
| resuscitate on sight they leave them. You're dead. That was jacked up. I was like... | ||
| We are going to see a reckoning in this country once this is over, where it's going to be before the 1950s. | ||
| It's going to be hardcore nationalist, lock the borders down, manufacturing. | ||
| If you're not a citizen, who are you? | ||
| What are you doing here? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's going to be different. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Let me see your papers. | ||
| Yeah, it's gonna be way different. | ||
| We're already doing that. | ||
| Are you serious? | ||
| No, I know. | ||
| My friend posted, I saw this on social media, holding a badge that says essential worker. | ||
| You go outside without it, they're like, what are you doing? | ||
| I would have that if I still worked at the hospital. | ||
| Because that's what you get. | ||
| You have to be able to demonstrate that you're working. | ||
| That's been the case for, I lived in Arizona for a long time. | ||
| I mean, pretty much anywhere along the southern border, you'd have to produce... I mean, even, you know what? | ||
| Driving here. | ||
| We got pulled over, and my wife is a Swedish citizen, and we're married now, so she can live here legally, and she didn't have her passport, and they were like, are you U.S. | ||
| citizens? | ||
| And she couldn't say yes, because she's not a citizen. | ||
| She's got her green card. | ||
| But I didn't have my passport. | ||
| The guy didn't even ask me anything. | ||
| She just said, oh, I'm not. | ||
| And he was like, I saw the look on his face like, whoa, all right. | ||
| And she's like, well, let me get my passport. | ||
| And my car was packed. | ||
| So she had to get out of the car and go walk around. | ||
| Suddenly, there was 13 police officers surrounding my car. | ||
| When did this happen? | ||
| Driving here when I was moving here. | ||
| So just a couple months ago. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| and uh i was just like whoa like i'm still sitting in the passenger seat because it was her turn to drive at that moment so it was just like you know i'm like okay you know this is weird but she i knew she had a green card she got it in her backpack and came back around handed the guy and he was like okay all right you can go Didn't even ask me. | ||
| I could have been an illegal. | ||
| He didn't even ask me for anything. | ||
| Just the fact that she said no. | ||
| I need to go get this. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| But I think anyone could have. | ||
| They probably were following protocol. | ||
| It was an illegal who was going into the back to get a gun or something, you know, it's like they were proud. | ||
| They surrounded our car though. | ||
| It was very quickly and they didn't say anything. | ||
| It was like a unspoken thing, like they just all knew and they just like filtered out and just were surrounding the car. | ||
| I was like, whoa, this is nuts. | ||
| This is scary, man. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because I think back to like, I know I really hate making the comparisons because everyone does it, you know, Godwin's, what is it, Godwin's Law? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| World War II, when they were demanding papers, there was no legitimate reason for it other than they were anti-Semitic, they were racist, they were supremacists. | ||
| If you take all of that ideology but tack on an actual pandemic, then everyone will agree with you and say, oh, please check their papers. | ||
| You know what they're doing in China? | ||
| They're making you get a code to prove you're not sick. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, the green phone thing. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was reading a story about it. | ||
| That you have to, like, check in, and if you leave the city, then your code becomes void, and they track you via GPS. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No way. | |
| Yeah, they're putting ankle monitors on people. | ||
| Yes, and Google's starting to use the location source to kind of track how well people are complying with quarantine orders. | ||
| Man. | ||
| Man. | ||
| The end is nigh. | ||
| It's like, what is happening? | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| Let's jump over to the next story we have is the 5G conspiracy theory. | ||
| So we're going to move a little bit away from the world at war and all this crazy stuff. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| I've read some of the stuff, so it falls in line, man. | ||
| I'm telling you. | ||
| But check this out. | ||
| There are people who believe that the symptoms we're seeing from coronavirus are actually 5G signals. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| No, no, please, please. | ||
| That's what they're saying. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| But you want to know what's messed up? | ||
| YouTube officially released its editorial guidelines for what we're not allowed to say. | ||
| Oh really? | ||
| And one of them is we are not allowed to ever claim in any way that coronavirus symptoms are caused by 5G technology. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So that is not what we are saying. | ||
| We are not saying that. | ||
| We are not saying those things. | ||
| We are saying that is not the case, but YouTube officially warns everybody. | ||
| Don't say that. | ||
| You cannot. | ||
| They give you a list. | ||
| And I'm like, why is YouTube issuing editorial guidelines? | ||
| That is interesting. | ||
| Yeah, that is new. | ||
| So if you say that stuff, they demonetize you and derank you and hide your content and shuffle it away. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I will say, I have been working with cellular technology for a really long time. | ||
| Well, let's save it for the subject. | ||
| Alright, alright, alright. | ||
| Let's do super chats. | ||
| I've got a lot of experience in this, so we'll talk about it. | ||

| Yeah. | ||
| So send them over. | ||
| Keep send them to me. | ||

| I might not be able to read all of them or get to them all, but I appreciate you guys for for sending me ideas. | ||
| All right, let's grab some more of these. | ||
| Cellular says, did you hear that New Jersey will reopen gun shops on Tuesday? | ||
| If true, I've had my license for two years. | ||

| Well, I know where I'm going on Tuesday. | ||
| Did you write your essay? | ||
| For real? | ||
| I'm gonna write my essay. | ||

| Yes. | ||
| Or, you know what I'll write? | ||

| The right to keep and bear arms. | ||
| No, no, no, the text of the Second Amendment. | ||
| Formation of a well... | ||
| The security of a free state. | ||
| Just, like, copy it directly into the paper. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Exactly what it says. | ||
| Here you go. | ||
| The security of a free state, the right to bear arms. | ||
| How will you deny me? | ||
| Will they? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| What's your reasoning for wanting it? | ||
| Did you have the text of the Second Amendment? | ||
| A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state. | ||
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. | ||

| Good luck. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Paxton Fairbanks says the world would fight the US to a standstill but never be able to | ||
| invade due to one single reason. | ||
| They don't have the transport infrastructure to move troops as effectively as the US. | ||
| That's why we built the interstate highway system. | ||

| Even Johansson says, can't they use air ambulances to bring patients from overloaded hospitals to rural hospitals with barely any business right now? | ||

| Flying back and forth. | ||
| It's super expensive to do that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you can't, you can't like haul 20 people. | ||
| Yeah, especially if they're on ventilators. | ||
| It's like one person. | ||
| A couple people, maybe. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| But I mean, if they need to stay on a ventilator, that means they've got to take the whole system with them. | ||
| I mean, I don't know how it works. | ||
| I don't even know if that would work. | ||
| Kelly Proffitt says a week ago, Remington Arms offered New York its one million square foot plant to manufacture for NY's medical needs, and Cuomo has not responded. | ||

| Right, probably. | ||
| Seriously? | ||

| I think it actually is a little bit, but you're right. | ||
| In the physical space, the U.S. | ||
| is just like, no one's got anything against us. | ||
| We've got 20 aircraft carriers or something. | ||
| In cyber warfare, it is more balanced, and we do have a bunch of weak spots. | ||
| We are really powerful in terms of cyber warfare, though. | ||
| We are. | ||

unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Stuxnet. | ||
| What was the other one? | ||
| That we even know about. | ||
| Yeah, that's the only stuff we know about. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Well, like, Stuxnet was huge. | ||
| I don't even know what that is. | ||
| It was a U.S.-Israeli cyber weapon that caused Iranian centrifuges to overload, spin out of control, and blow up. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| I don't know the full details. | ||
| Again, factor me on that stuff. | ||
| You know, it's not a current story. | ||
| It's pretty old. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Lazy Enthusiasm says, current estimate for the day is roughly 1,300 deaths today in USA. | ||
| Sounds right. | ||
| Yikes, man. | ||
| Andrew Starr says, I'm worried about the terror attack on hospitals. | ||
| About a terrorist attack. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That would suck. | ||
| Get Rekt says, what do you think of YouTubers going to apocalyptic hospitals the next day and they are empty? | ||
| Also this Q and children rescue thing opinion. | ||
| I don't know anything about the Q thing. | ||
| And I think a lot of people make assumptions about what hospitals are supposed to look like based on movies. | ||
| Right, yeah. | ||
| That's what I was thinking, exactly. | ||
| What do you expect? | ||
| People running around like, ahhh! | ||
| It's the end! | ||
| It's not what they look like. | ||
| They're all inside, inside, inside. | ||
| You gotta go into all the departments. | ||
| Have you ever been in a hospital? | ||
| Like, actually admitted? | ||
| Right. | ||
| They wheel you into a little special area, pull the curtain, and that's it. | ||
| No one's running around screaming, you know? | ||
| So when things are hectic, and I've been in a hectic hospital, I was in a bed and they didn't have like a designated space, but it didn't seem like a movie or anything. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I just think people are assuming they expect things to be like they've seen in media or fiction or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yeah, and the empty parking lot thing is like you were saying. | ||
| No guests allowed. | ||
| Yeah, there's no visitors. | ||
| There's no regular procedures. | ||
| But also, do they think that a new COVID patient is coming in every minute? | ||
| That's not how that works either. | ||
| No, people are getting admitted and they're going into their beds and then they're telling people to go home and then they have them in their bed. | ||
| So unless you're literally walking into the ICU, which you are not at this point, you're going to be a visitor, you're a guest, you're not going into the ICU, you will not see any kind of craziness. | ||
| You probably won't see a COVID patient at all. | ||
| I also think the easiest way to explain this is thanks to Project Veritas, who got their video taken down by Facebook and have been smeared by the media, because they actually showed some hospitals are not overloaded, and the staff are like, I don't think it's a big deal, and some are saying it's a big deal, people are dying. | ||
| Exactly, that's what you expect. | ||
| Well, you're getting a lot of people that are going to one hospital and being like, how come there's nobody here? | ||
| Because this is not a hotspot right now. | ||
| Yeah, not yet. | ||
| And the best example was, I love the meme, it said, McDonald's serves two billion cheeseburgers every year. | ||
| Why can't I order, you know, a thousand cheeseburgers from this McDonald's? | ||
| Well, like one McDonald's can't do that. | ||
| So I, you know, I think I'm not an expert. | ||
| I don't know what a hospital is supposed to look like, but I will defer to what, you know, Veritas found. | ||
| They went to the hospital and this woman said, it's serious. | ||
| People are dying. | ||
| They're coming in. | ||
| They have diabetes. | ||
| They're overweight. | ||
| They can't breathe. | ||
| And then he talked to other people and they said, you know, it's not so bad here. | ||
| Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| I saw a ton of comments from people saying, you need to understand some areas of Manhattan, of New York are getting hit really hard and some aren't. | ||
| Isn't that why the video got taken down? | ||
| It got taken down because a National Guardsman said that he didn't think it was, uh, he said something like it was not, it was, it was like the flu. | ||
| Yeah, it was approximate to the flu. | ||
| So Facebook was like, misinformation delete. | ||
| It's like, a National Guard guy said that, dude, you can't, you know. | ||
| That's an offhand opinion from someone who does not work in the field. | ||
| And James literally says in the video, he's like, we're not telling you what to believe, we're not pushing an agenda, we're just literally telling you exactly what was said. | ||
| CNN writes that they were goading them into saying it. | ||
| It's like, are you kidding me? | ||
| He literally asked the question, how do you feel about this? | ||
| I'm not sure if I should trust the media. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was it. | |
| He didn't goad anybody to say anything. | ||
| Well, that's why you shouldn't trust the media. | ||

| Yes. | ||
| The Guardian reports, broadband engineers threatened due to 5G coronavirus conspiracies. | ||
| EE suspects telephone mast engulfed by fire in Birmingham was an arson attack as celebrities claim COVID-19 caused by new network. | ||
| I have heard so many conspiracy theories about 5G, and it's the strangest thing to me because people say the same things every time a new radio frequency technology comes out, I know, because I've been dealing with these technologies for the past decade. | ||
| I remember WiMAX. | ||
| Remember WiMAX? | ||
| Short-lived 4G technology used by Sprint. | ||
| They got rid of it. | ||
| They didn't like it. | ||
| They switched. | ||
| Then everyone started adopting long-term evolution. | ||
| 3GPP, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| I'm not an engineer on cell technology or anything like that. | ||
| I just was hacking these gizmos and gadgets with my buddies, and we kept hearing that 4G was going to cause cancer and all these things. | ||
| 5G starts coming out. | ||
| I start hearing the same things, and I just roll my eyes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Why would they do that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't get it either. | ||
| What's up with these? | ||
| They say celebrities, but they're not celebrities. | ||
| That would kill a bunch of people I don't get it either. | ||
| What do they think it's like? | ||
| They say celebrities, but they're not celebrities. They're like mini liberties or saying this stuff | ||
| Yeah like I was | ||
| Someone someone actually tweeted me this story and and I was just like looking into it a little bit | ||
| And I was just like this is so silly like I It's just a bunch of random people and then I didn't | ||
| recognize any of the celebrities granted I'm not really like I don't really care to like know who's | ||
| who in what circles, you know, but But it's not. | ||
| It just doesn't make sense. | ||
| Somebody actually torched a 5G tower, set it on fire. | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| Yeah, there's photos of it going viral. | ||
| Let's read this. | ||
| The Guardian says, Telecom's engineers are facing verbal and physical threats during the lockdown, as baseless conspiracy theories linking coronavirus to the rollout of 5G technology spread by celebrities such as Amanda Holden prompt members of the public to abuse those maintaining vital mobile phone and broadband networks. | ||
| See, already a celebrity, I have no idea who it is. | ||
| Who's British? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I guess. | |
| Amanda Holden. | ||
| I don't know who that is. | ||
| It's the Guardian, man. | ||
| It's the UK, huh? | ||
| Oh, I don't know that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Facebook has removed one anti-5G group in which users were being encouraged to supply footage of them destroying mobile phone equipment. | ||
| Geez. | ||
| With some, Luddites, with some contributors seemingly under the pretense that it may stop the spread of coronavirus and some running leaderboards of where equipment had been targeted. | ||
| So let me get this straight. | ||
| Is there some kind of conspiracy that some people are genetically predisposed to being | ||
| wiped out by the 5G waves? | ||
| Is that why they're swabbing people's noses to get a DNA sample? | ||
| And they could be like, aha, this proves that the 5G will harm you? | ||
| Do they think 5G is designed to cull the masses? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| That's so weird. | ||
| You know what, it just feels like they're looking for anything now. | ||
| Like, oh, that must be the answer. | ||
| Wonderful, we can rally against that. | ||
| It's like, I'm willing to entertain, there may, like, there's negative side effects. | ||
| You know, I think there was one study that said that there was, you know... Here, I'll tell you what. | ||
| Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| I used to, there was a warehouse in Chicago I skated at. | ||
| They had a bunch of antennas on the roof. | ||
| And you know what the groundskeeper would say? | ||
| Don't go on the roof, there's a lot of radiation. | ||
| It's most it's not it's it's radio waves and stuff not supposed to be not it's it's it's not ionizing but yeah he's like trust me man it's really really powerful stuff it'll mess you up don't go up there and that's what the engineers were saying yeah I saw that's kind of in line with what I was about to say I saw this video I think it was someone in Russia was it looked like they were on like maybe the 12th floor right by the window and they had a Geiger counter And they would go to the window and it would spike. | ||
| And they'd walk back into the... That's ionizing radiation, though. | ||
| Oh, is that what that is? | ||
| I mean, it's supposed to be. | ||
| What is that doing to you, though? | ||
| Is it doing anything? | ||
| The ionizing stuff? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Breaking down your DNA. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| So, I mean, and he was pointing at the tower, which is, like, on the roof of the building next to him. | ||
| I don't believe that. | ||
| That seems... I don't know. | ||
| I just remember seeing that. | ||
| I'm like, whoa, that's a little crazy. | ||
| It was right when 5G first, like, came out. | ||
| When I went to Fukushima, we had a bunch of radiation detectors. | ||
| You'd put it on the ground, and it would go, whee, and the number would start spiking. | ||
| It wasn't like pointing at stuff. | ||
| You'd put it on the ground, and then all of a sudden the number would start going up really well. | ||
| So you had to be close. | ||
| I mean, it depends. | ||
| Like, if there's, I guess, gamma wave radiation, you'll pick up a ton of it. | ||
| I really doubt they're blasting that stuff out of 5G towers. | ||
| That doesn't make sense. | ||
| That's not how that works. | ||
| And that was the only time I've ever seen anything like that. | ||
| And it's only... It seems like they've got it and companies are starting to set it up. | ||

So far. | |
| Well, so let's check this out. | ||
| They say video footage of a 70-foot telephone mast on fire in Birmingham this week has also circulated widely alongside claims it was targeted by anti-5G protesters. | ||
| Network operator EE told The Guardian that its engineers were still on the site assessing the cause of the fire, but it looks likely at this time that it was an arson attack. | ||
| The company said it would be working with the police to find the culprits it said, | ||
| quote, to deliberately take away mobile connectivity at a time when people need it | ||
| more than ever to stay connected with each other is a reckless, harmful and dangerous thing to do. | ||
| We will try to restore full coverage as quickly as possible, but the damage caused by the fire | ||
| is significant. The problem has become so bad that engineers working for BT Openreach, | ||
| which provides home broadband services, have also taken to posting public pleas on anti-5G | ||
| Facebook groups asking to be spared the on street abuse as they are not involved in maintaining | ||
| Yeah, I actually, in this stuff that I was reading, there's images of different people straight up yelling, you're murderers, you're killing | ||
| people to like, you know, the guys in the yellow vests like installing 5G cables, you know, | ||
| they're just there to pull cable line, you know, they're not, but people are yelling, I'm | ||
| calling them murderers. | ||
| That's like, whoa, dang. | ||
| So that's probably what they're referring to there. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| The on street abuse. | ||
| Industry lobby group Mobile UK said the incidents were affecting efforts to maintain networks | ||
| that are supporting home working and Yeah, right there. | ||
| critical connectivity to the emergency services. | ||
| Vulnerable consumers and hospitals telecoms engineers are considered key workers under the government's | ||

| In one widely circulated video that has attracted millions of views on Twitter, individuals working for the broadband | ||
| company Community Fiber are abused by a woman who claimed without any evidence that they were installing 5G as part | ||
| of a plot to kill the population. | ||
| That's exactly what I was just referring to. | ||
| Yeah, right there. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| They must be giant directed energy weapons that we've been hearing about all this time. | ||

Really? | |
| Is this like, you know, a Kingsman style plot to cull the world because there's too many people? | ||
| Is that what they think it is? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I think the movie Kingsman is actually interesting because the bad guy makes an interesting point. | ||
| You've seen Kingsman, right? | ||
| I don't think I have. | ||
| I thought I did. | ||
| We've talked about it a couple times and I already know what you're going to say. | ||
| The bad guy says global warming is a result of too many people. | ||
| If we do nothing, all people will die. | ||
| So we have to kill a bunch of people. | ||
| See, and you know why I don't think I've seen it? | ||
| Because I would have remembered him having a lisp. | ||
| Sam Jackson. | ||
| You said he has a lisp when he says it? | ||
| I don't remember Sam Jackson ever having a lisp, so I haven't seen it. | ||
| So the good guys are like, we're going to stop you from killing all of these people. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But the dude makes... Well, I guess the point of the movie is that he's wrong, the Earth isn't gonna kill all, you know, global warming, whatever. | ||
| But the point is, the bad guy's like, hey look, the world's gonna end, we gotta, we gotta, you know, kill all these people. | ||
| The good guys are like, no, you can't do that. | ||
| Is that what these people think this is basically happening? | ||
| Like, the global elites are just, are launching cellular technology? | ||
| That's literally the plot of Kingsman. | ||
| And they're staying in 4G. | ||
| They're 4G network circles. | ||
| Safe away from 5G. | ||
| In Kingsman, the bad guy gives out SIM cards for free. | ||
| He's like a tech mogul. | ||
| He's like, free cell phones! | ||
| And everyone gets the phone. | ||
| And then the phone plays a noise which makes them really aggressive and fight each other and beat each other to death. | ||
| So it's not identical. | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| It's not identical. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You gotta watch it. | |
| What a great plot. | ||
| Is that what people believe? | ||
| That like the 5G is being deployed because super wealthy people and government and the secret cabal is like we're gonna purge the masses like Kingsmen? | ||
| Is Kingsman a wink wink nudge nudge? | ||
| I don't know. Maybe it's gotten into their brains. I don't know. It's based in London or Britain, isn't it? | ||
| Yeah, it is. So maybe they saw it and they were like, hey, that's in our hometown. | ||
| Social media posts from celebrities such as singer Anne-Marie have helped spread the theory. | ||
| Who? Well, I don't know. UK, man. | ||
| While Holden, a judge on Britain's Got Talent, shared a link to a popular Change.org petition promoting the rumor that the symptoms of coronavirus are in reality due to residing near a 5G mast. | ||
| The petition was subsequently removed following increase from The Guardian. | ||
| International radiation experts have repeatedly made clear the new high-speed telephone system does not pose a risk to humans, while pointing out that the coronavirus has spread widely in many, many countries without any 5G coverage, such as Iran. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, like, the islands. | ||
| Someone was saying that, I don't remember where I was reading it, but they were saying, like, you know, My brother, my dad, thinks that 5G is causing all this, and their main reason is because it's in all these countries that have 5G now. | ||
| And it's like, well, what about all the countries that don't have it? | ||
| Iran. | ||
| It's there. | ||
| It's there also. | ||
| Throughout, like, Costa Rica, there's Madagascar. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| The government, the U.S. | ||
| government, deployed by plane, parachute 5G into Iran to kill The satellites. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| World Link. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I think this stuff's silly. | ||
| I would never just blindly be like, I trust all of these companies to do the right thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I certainly think we have seen governments and major corporations dramatically, like, screw over people ridiculously. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| And pay a million dollar fine or a hundred million dollar fine when they have two billion dollar profits. | ||
| I gotta be really careful about this next part. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh? | |
| Because I don't got the source pulled up, but wasn't there a company that produced pills that had them infected by HIV in the 80s? | ||
| I heard about this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I have not heard this. | ||
| Can you Google it just to make sure? | ||
| Yeah, let me look. | ||
| Because unless we have a verified source, I'm going to be careful. | ||
| So look, I get it, man. | ||
| But I did, I remember watching a documentary and that was something, it was about basically like the opioid crisis, you know? | ||
| Was it Bayer? | ||
| Is that, who says that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Google. | |
| What's the source? | ||
| Legit news source. | ||
| That's from CBS News. | ||
| CBS News, what do they say? | ||
| So it said Bayer sold HIV risky meds. | ||
| Yep, everyone in the chat agrees. | ||
| Selling a blood clotting product that stopped potentially fatal bleeding and hemophiliacs that was linked to the risk of HIV infection. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| Was it tainted with it? | ||
| It says, Contaminated hemophilia blood products were a serious public health problem in the 70s and 80s. | ||
| Contaminated with what? | ||
| This is now from Wikipedia. | ||
| These products cause large numbers of hemophiliacs to become infected with HIV and hepatitis C. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| There were a couple different companies. | ||
| Yeah, Bayer is one of them. | ||
| If somebody comes to me and says they think it's possible that this thing would cause, you know, some kind of symptoms or whatever, my immediate reaction is never like, you're crazy. | ||
| Ah, the mood is not made of cheese. | ||
| It's, I'll Google it. | ||
| I'll look into it. | ||
| I'll look it up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like any sane, rational person is going to be like, That I don't know if I believe. | ||
| I'm skeptical. | ||
| Let me look into it. | ||
| And I looked into this, and I don't believe it. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Like the Iran is a really good point. | ||
| Iran's got a bunch of COVID stuff that has nothing to do with 5G. | ||
| It was convenient in my opinion that people have been complaining about 5G stuff for a while. | ||
| Now there is a real risk with 5G in that it's disruptive to satellite signals. | ||
| So for weather forecasting and other stuff like that, it's going to start causing spottiness. | ||
| And That's about it, so far that I've seen. | ||
| And then all of a sudden COVID happens, and then someone linked the two, and then you get this viral video of the woman screaming, you're gonna kill people! | ||
| And the Earth is flat. | ||
| No, the Earth is hollow. | ||
| Excuse me, Dyson Earth. | ||
| Dyson Earth. | ||
| So I think this to me sounds a little bit, so it was in Birmingham, England, right? | ||
| It sounds a little bit like a case of localized mass hysteria. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Well, because people are, like, upset about coronavirus. | ||
| They're really worried. | ||
| They're fixated on one thing. | ||
| Their famous people are saying it. | ||
| They're like, oh, this is it. | ||
| And it's an easy explanation. | ||
| It's not just there. | ||
| It is not just there. | ||
| I was looking into this earlier, and it's people in America, too. | ||
| No, no, no, of course, of course. | ||
| But what she's saying is that people are trying to find a reason to explain what's happening around them. | ||
| And one of the things about conspiracy theories is that for some people it's easier to think it's caused by 5G because 5G is something you have more control over. | ||
| If it was 5G doing this, you could say, don't turn that on. | ||
| And you'd save everyone's life. | ||
| It's the easy out. | ||
| You could burn a tower and be a hero. | ||
| That's what I was saying. | ||
| People want something to blame. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Because the reality is they have no control. | ||
| The virus has come and you can't see it. | ||
| It's going to get you. | ||
| I was thinking it was localized, but maybe since we have the internet, it's less localized. | ||
| We should jump to the next segment. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because we have only so much time left. | ||
| That is true, oh gosh, yeah. | ||
| This is amazing. | ||

Oh, yes. | |
| Cuck. | ||
| A movie called Cuck. | ||
| Angry, unemployed, and full of alt-right stoked rage, Cuck's protagonist is ready to explore in Rob Lambert's discomforting, if over-rigged character study. | ||
| October 2nd, 2019. | ||
| Have you ever heard the saying, my friends, get woke, go broke? | ||
| Yes, from you. | ||
| It is the movie personification of it. | ||
| It's wonderful. | ||
| Well, it's a, what is it, like a truism, I guess? | ||
| It's not really always true. | ||
| Some workworkers do really well. | ||
| I guess the Invisible Man made money, but it was like, quote, trash. | ||
| I don't know, some people liked it. | ||
| It wasn't overt wokeness. | ||
| This is over the top. | ||
| There's still a part of me that thinks that this movie doesn't exist. | ||
| It doesn't exist. | ||
| This is the Shazam. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| What is that genie movie with, what's his name? | ||
| Kazan? | ||
| Kazan. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| This is the Kazan. | ||
| It never happened. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| What does that say? | ||
| Zero US dollars. | ||
| never happened. What does that say? Oh, what's that number? | ||
| Zero US dollars. Zero. Zero. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How is that possible? I think it's a mistake. It must. I think it must. That's what I'm saying. | |
| I feel like there's something, something's wrong. The movie cuck from national file.com, | ||
| the movie cuck made zero dollars at the box office. I don't know what that source is. | ||
| News Guard for whatever they're worth says it's not, you know, reliable. | ||
| Here's a Reddit post from Kotaku in Action saying the movie Cuck made zero dollars at the box office. | ||
| So when was it in the box office? | ||
| When was it actually released in the movies? | ||
| My understanding, so I have the Wikipedia here for it, and they say that it was released, the release date in the United States was October 4th, 2019. | ||
| October 4th! | ||
| So long ago! | ||
| Zero dollars. | ||
| That's gotta be a mistake. | ||
| Wait, what else came out October 4th? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Do you want to try and look up a movie that totally blew it out of the water? | ||
| And everyone's like, hmm, what should we go see? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This big huge blockbuster, this huge... or Cuck. | |
| Let's go to these. | ||
| I have not seen Cuck. | ||
| I will not see Cuck. | ||
| It's got a terrible audience score. | ||
| But check this out. | ||
| Bromesco went on to favorably compare Cuck to Todd Phillips' 2019 film Joker, calling it more repellent, honest, and astute than this week's odds-on box office champion. | ||
| So that's saying that Joker came out at the same time, is it? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So here's what the movie's about, though. | ||
| Let's get to the point. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Basically, it's some dude, and he gets radicalized by YouTube. | ||
| YouTube does it. | ||
| Yes, his online vlog. | ||
| And then he starts building a following, and it makes him crazy, I guess. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I remember hearing about this around then, but I just didn't care. | ||
| I really can believe it made zero dollars. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because they put it in select theaters, and then no one cared to go see it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so it made no money. | ||
| So it wasn't like a big movie put in all theaters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Select. | ||
| It was like specific ones. | ||
| Well, they chose the wrong theaters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| And they didn't edit it as well. | ||
| Here, check it out. | ||
| I see Joker throughout this whole thing. | ||
| It came out around the same time. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| They wrote this. | ||
| This is Variety. | ||
| And this is October 2nd. | ||
| If this weekend you're only seeing one depressing character study about an unemployable, fatherless, antisocial man-child who lives with his sickly mother, is often unattractively shirtless, and eventually decides society must pay violently for his general misery, then you're almost certainly going to see Joker. | ||
| As it happens, however, there's an alternative, also fitting that description perfectly well, Cuck. | ||
| is in fact Joker, with even less vestige of superheroes than Todd Films' atypical comic book movie. | ||
| About precisely the sort of people some have feared will take Joker as an incitement to real-world violence. | ||
| The usually white, incel-type man who feels marginalized and somehow robbed of success, who in worst-case scenarios ends up shooting up a school, workplace, or other public space, so to feel his rage isn't entirely impotent. | ||
| What? | ||
| Guess what day The Joker came out. | ||
| October 4th? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Same day. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| So now I know why it made zero. | ||
| So one of the best movies in the past 20 years overshadowed it completely. | ||
| I'm not seeing it on my list here though. | ||
| I just pulled up the Joker wiki and it says October 4th. | ||
| Cuck made zero dollars? | ||
| Everyone's like, hmm, the Joker? | ||
| Or Cuck? | ||
| The Wikipedia doesn't mention it making zero dollars. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Let's read the plot. | ||
| You ready to have the whole movie spoiled for all of you? | ||
| Spoilers! | ||
| This is the one time I wouldn't give a spoiler warning. | ||
| It's a simple paragraph. | ||
|

|
Okay. | |
| Brooding loner Ronnie lives with his possessive mother in the wasteland of Van Nuys. | ||
| Rejected from the military for mental instability and petty crime, he ekes out a dismal existence. | ||
| Ronnie's only world is the one he makes online on his computer. | ||
| After creating a vlog channel on the downfall of real America, he rails from his video platform against those he perceives as enemies. | ||
| As Ronnie gains confidence from the online extremist community, his channel grows. | ||
| Meanwhile, sexual frustration leads him to a local swinger couple | ||
| who pay him to play cuckold in their homemade amateur pornography. | ||
| Unaware that they are exploiting him, he accepts the role and its rewards. | ||
| Ronnie buys an unregistered handgun and strokes his ego at firing ranges. | ||
| He meets his online idol, a charismatic leader of the alt-right. | ||
| However, when his identity as Cuck emerges, his macho persona shatters. | ||
| Facing online shaming, Ronnie takes solace in the one symbol of masculinity he has left. | ||
| He's gone. | ||
| It's literally about a dude trying to join the alt-right because he was radicalized on YouTube. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I'm not surprised nobody saw it and nobody cared because that sounds like garbage. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| You see, they've made movies that use legitimate intellectual property, like Ghostbusters, make it woke, and some people do go see it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They complain about it after the fact. | ||
| This movie has no legitimate IP behind it. | ||
| It's just woke, stupid narratives, and nobody wanted to go see it. | ||
| The people who went to go see Ghostbusters were like, I like Ghostbusters. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then when they realized what it was, they're like, this movie is awful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Now they're remaking Ghostbusters as like an original, like an actual sequel. | ||
| Nothing ever happened. | ||
| Is it? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's a real sequel? | ||
| A real sequel. | ||
| I haven't really read into it yet. | ||
| The trailer came out. | ||
| But I saw that the kid from Stranger Things is in it. | ||
| Is he? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Oh, I think Paul Rudd's in it, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Awesome! | |
| I love Paul Rudd. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is he? | |
| I think so. | ||
| And it's basically like, I think, Egon's kids or something? | ||
| Oh, okay, cool. | ||
| The trailer's out, and he says something like, no one's seen a ghost in 30 years. | ||
| So it's an actual sequel to the second one. | ||
| Sweet. | ||
| I totally discounted that one. | ||
| They were supposed to do this. | ||
| I remember when the Ghostbusters thing all happened. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it was like, I'm not sure if it was Harold Ramis or somebody said, I'd be interested in an all-female cast. | ||
| And then all of a sudden they changed what was supposed to be a sequel to the first two into an alternate reality. | ||
| You know they were going to do like a Ghostbusters universe? | ||
| Really? | ||
| They wanted to do like East Coast Ghostbusters and West Coast Ghostbusters or something. | ||
| Well that failed. | ||
| Oh, totally failed. | ||
| Everybody wanted to do a movie universe after Marvel started getting big. | ||
| And it's shocking to me no one figured it out. | ||
| You realize Marvel just made a series of movies and then barely connected them. | ||
| It's like you watch the movie, at the very end they'd be like, Thor. | ||
| And that was it. | ||
| It was like a preview. | ||
| After the credits. | ||
| Got people to sit through the credits, too. | ||
| It was genius. | ||
| I sat through them all. | ||
| And then Avengers brought it all together, and that's how they had the universe. | ||
| And then what does DC try to do? | ||
| Let's just make Justice League. | ||
| It's like, but you've never established any of these characters. | ||
| I know, yeah. | ||
| And then they made Aquaman after it. | ||
| How does that make sense? | ||
| He was a nobody in that movie. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| Anyway, so for some reason, they decided to make... You know what? | ||
| Maybe this was their gamble. | ||
| That Joker was DC, and maybe they were thinking, if we do one that's based on real-life politics, people might go see it. | ||
| So basically make the same movie as Joker, but make it about the alt-right, and make it about America, and call it cuck, and then people are gonna... You know what? | ||
| This is evidence that people really overestimate the value of Twitter. | ||
| The internet is not real life. | ||
| None of us are real. | ||
| We're literally just some random people in a basement complaining about stuff. | ||
| And there's always, there's always those like just alternate version movies that come out too. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Almost everything like. | ||
| Like Bugs Life and Ants. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You know, but, but that's, those were actually both okay movies. | ||
| I'm talking like the, the, the top grossing film. | ||
| And then the one that like is all D list actors that you don't know anyone, but actually the, the main character, or not even the main character, there's the one guy that they, they paid for like two scenes. | ||
| Yeah, that was recognizable because he was like an extra in one blockbuster film. | ||
| You know what I'm talking about? | ||
| That's what Cuck seems like to me. | ||
| Go on Amazon, and you'll see this. | ||
| There'll be like the Iron Hero, and it's like Iron Man, but the lowest quality thing. | ||
| You know why they do it though, right? | ||
| Because they know some people will be tricked into watching it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Oh, what was this? | ||
| Iron Man? | ||
| And you watch for 10 minutes, and you're like, Oh, I paid for this. | ||
| Dude, I've watched some of those movies. | ||
| Sometimes it's funny. | ||
| Yeah, they're funny. | ||
| They're so bad. | ||
| They're so bad, they're funny. | ||
| And some people actually like that. | ||
| Like those kind of movies. | ||
| They're so bad, they laugh at the horrendous acting and writing. | ||
| I could go on. | ||
| But how come Birds of Prey couldn't do that? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| You know? | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| They changed the name. | ||
| Harley Quinn. | ||
| Birds of Prey. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| But then now I'm seeing it back as... I don't know. | ||
| They need to make up their minds with the name of that movie. | ||
| Here's what I'm trying to say. | ||
| So we can make fun of it correctly. | ||
| Properly. | ||
| I want to be fair. | ||
| It's possible this cuck film is a good movie. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| I'm not going to see it, though. | ||
| I don't know anybody who wants to see it. | ||
| Apparently, nobody did see it. | ||
| Apparently, no one did. | ||
| Here's the best part. | ||
| Apparently, it was released on DVD already. | ||
| Like, is that... Did they say when it was released on DVD? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, someone posted this that it was, uh, it came out in October. | ||
| Let's say on June 19, 2019, it was announced that Gravitas Ventures had acquired the distribution. | ||
| It was officially released in select theaters. | ||
| Um, Google Play as well on October 4th. | ||
| Wait, it's on Amazon? | ||
| Theaters and VOD. | ||
| I don't, I think the zero, zero dollars thing is wrong. | ||
| It's gotta be wrong. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| How do you find that information out? | ||
| I don't know where to look. | ||
| If Amazon Prime would randomly suggest it at some point, right? | ||
| And someone might, like, come on, one person bought it. | ||
| Look, you know why I think it's wrong? | ||
| Well, it said zero dollars in the box office, right? | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| No one went to go see it in the theaters. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| But I have to imagine even the show's producers might just dump some money to make it seen. | ||
| Like, come on, man. | ||
| I mean, think about it, though. | ||
| It's expensive to go to the movies. | ||
| You gotta want to see a movie to go to the movies nowadays. | ||
| People are getting wiser with their money, I think, and would hope that, anyway. | ||
| And it came out the same day as The Joker. | ||
| Like, The Joker. | ||
| He's like one of the biggest villains of our lifetime. | ||
| It was a good movie. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| And it was an amazing movie. | ||
| But like Batman and the Joker, it's like they've been fighting each other for a long time. | ||
| It's like everybody knows who the Joker is. | ||
| Everybody. | ||
| So here's the scenario. | ||
| The people who literally made Cuck, it was released and instead of seeing their own movie, | ||
| went to see the Joker instead. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're like walking up to the theater and they're like, this is it, our movie's in the | ||
| theater. | ||
| You guys want to see Joker instead? | ||
| Oh, but the Joker comes out today! | ||
| It's like they're walking down the red carpet, but they rolled it out themselves. | ||
| Well, look, the audience, look at this. | ||
| The audience score is 34%. | ||
| Oof. | ||
| So apparently, look, 88 people watched it. | ||
| That's some money. | ||
| I wonder if they had to be paid. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Please, here's some money, watch our movie. | ||
| Alright, alright, alright. | ||
| So, look, I didn't see it. | ||
| I didn't either. | ||
| It's not a fair review, but... I feel bad. | ||
| I feel bad for the actors. | ||
| Why would you do this stuff? | ||
| Just don't, just don't, just stay away from it. | ||
| Don't put it on your resume. | ||
| Nope, do not. | ||
| It's like it never happened. | ||

| Jabbing says, Hey Tim, was listening to yesterday's podcast, and the idea that Mormons would survive the apocalypse got me thinking about the Mormon group mentioned in the Fallout New Vegas DLC. | ||
| Or what about the Expanse? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Have you seen The Expanse? | ||
| Like the first season, but it's been a while. | ||
| Well, there's a huge, like, major Mormon population. | ||
| In outer space? | ||
| I mean, no other religions are really prominent, but the Mormons are very prominent, you know? | ||
| They're super rich and established, you know? | ||
| So it's interesting that everything about The Expanse really does feel like that's where we could be heading. | ||
| Be cool! | ||
| It's a cool show, I really like it. | ||
| Alright, let's see. | ||

| Isn't that the thing from that movie? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| It's from Science Fiction. | ||
| G.I. | ||
| Joe. | ||
| Yeah, it's from Science Fiction. | ||
| G.I. | ||
| Joe. | ||
| Where the satellite launches a tungsten rod from a satellite, and then it slams into London and wipes out all of London. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| It's supposed to be pretty legendary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's G.I. | |

That's crazy. | |
| Fun and silly. | ||
| Yeah, we'll look into it. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| El Roja says, 21 million cell phone numbers were deactivated in China in the past few weeks. | ||
| They are claiming it's just people cutting down from 2 to 1, but they obviously proven the perception is more important. | ||
| And landline phones, like 8 million. | ||
| 8 million? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, 800,000. | |
| Landline phones? | ||
| That was the last number that I saw. | ||
| I don't know about 8 million. | ||
| The Great Dub Dude says, what happens when a someone votes for the elderly family member that may not be in the mind state to realize what's even happening? | ||
| Too unreliable. | ||
| Angry Bellsprout says, strange that only two people at CNN are sick. | ||
| Maybe a fare that led to fluid swapping. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| There are probably a lot more people sick. | ||
| No one cares who they are. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| But with that last one about the elderly person that doesn't even know what's going on, why are they voting? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Why are they still voting? | ||
| If they don't know what's going on, what is their vote? | ||
| If they don't understand and aren't with it, wouldn't their vote just kind of be like a mindless checking of whoever they think they like? | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| Right, but that doesn't make sense to me. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm not saying they don't have the right to vote, but if they don't understand what's going on, it just seems a little... The same is true for young people who vote. | ||
| If they don't know what's going on... So, how do you set limits? | ||
| I just don't know. | ||
| Well, I feel like young people need to know what's going on. | ||
| That's for certain, you know, but if you're that old where you, you can't figure out what's going on because you're losing it, like some prominent figures we know. | ||
| But it's a bell curve. | ||
| It's like, if you're really old and you're in decline and you're really young and you're on the, you know, you're going up, you're both still at the same level of, of knowledge and voting. | ||
| You know, it's not until later in your life. | ||
| Well, but one's a choice and one isn't a choice. | ||
| Not necessarily. | ||
| That's the difference. | ||
| Like an 18 year old will never have the life experience of a father with four kids. | ||
| Absolutely, I agree with that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right, but, you know, if people are saying, get out and vote, and I think that is too short. | ||
| It's get out and know who you want to vote for and then vote. | ||
| Don't vote unless you know. | ||
| Learn who's doing stuff. | ||
| But that's like saying stupid people shouldn't be allowed to vote. | ||
| Well, that is not. | ||
| I'm not saying anyone shouldn't have the right to vote. | ||
| I'm saying, you know, learn, learn who you're voting for. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The problem is what if like someone was like, I'm going to vote for Joe Biden because he said he was going to give me a hundred dollars. | |
| And the orange man's bad. | ||
| Yeah, you'd be like, that's not true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, yeah, it is. | |
| You're like, no, it isn't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it is. | |
| He gets to vote. | ||
| It's like, is that that person the same level of Joe Biden? | ||
| Joe Biden muttering and mumbling. | ||
| Well, go vote. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm not trying to deny anyone that. | ||
| I'm just saying, I'm just asking the question. | ||
| You know, he's he's asking, what about family members voting for their older generation? | ||
| It's like, so they're not even voting for themselves because they don't know what's going on. | ||
| Like, that doesn't make sense. | ||
| Young people are doing they're voting for old people. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| They're going in and saying, hi, I'm this old person. | ||
| I'm going to vote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| Young people are going in and being like, I would like an 80-year-old socialist who just had a heart attack, please. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| That's who they're voting for. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're saying that I'm voting for my older family member who doesn't know what's going on. | ||
| Read their superchat. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| Yeah, they're saying... Like Biden's kids voting for Biden? | ||
| No, read the superchat. | ||
| I can't read it right here. | ||
| What happens when someone votes for their elderly family member that may not be in the mine state to realize that's even happening? | ||
| Voting for them. | ||
| Not like, they're not running for office. | ||
| They're actually placing their vote for them. | ||
| Oh, I see, I see, I see. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's why, does my question now make more sense? | ||
| Voting in their stead. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| They're voting in their stead. | ||
| That's voter fraud. | ||
| No, so now you get what I'm saying. | ||
| It's like voter fraud. | ||
| That is just voter fraud. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's voter fraud. | ||
| It's like, how is that even a case? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, people are actually doing that? | ||
| Like, that's crazy to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That's not right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Word. | ||

| I'm from Chicago. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Someone parked their car next to a broadcast tower and hijacked it. | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's famous. | ||
| And Mac's Headroom was a TV show, and so they pretended to be the TV show character and hijacked it. | ||
| Funny. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| No one ever caught him. | ||
| Simon Enefer. | ||
| It's actually in a Muse video. | ||
| I think it might be Dig Down. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Matthew Bellamy is Max Headroom. | ||

| The hazmat says the first two hardest hit countries, Italy and Iran, had close economic ties | ||
| or relations with China. Truth Seeker says 5G frequency are in the range they use for crowd | ||
| control, etc. | ||

| Look again scientific article papers, RF are actually pretty harmful. | ||
| Noel Wayne says, the real question is if you are surprised if the companies would spy on private data. | ||
| Of course they will. | ||
| Dustin Strickland says, IT guy here. | ||
| Intel management engine is real. | ||
| Low power x86 core running Minix. | ||
| It's all Intel CPU after Core 2 Duo. | ||
| Same access to system as main CPU and AMD also. | ||
| White hats have hacked them. | ||
| Very esoteric. | ||
| I'm not sure many people understood what that was. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Eli says 5G is the same frequency used by the military for crowd control and in TSA equipment. | ||
| We are also being told that this is safe based on safety standards that were placed by the FCC back in 94 or 96. | ||
| John McGuire says, if you want an easy source for theories behind 5G, just go to InfoWars. | ||
| All the info you could want there. | ||
| Scary part, Alex has been right on too many things, but he's been wrong on a lot of things. | ||
| And if he's gonna come out and claim that interdimensional demons, you know, are using 5G to... Like, I watched him on Alex Jones. | ||
| I understand if people find him entertaining. | ||
| I'm not gonna go to him for a source of... for information in that regard. | ||
| Darth Gary says, this is so stupid. | ||
| Everything is cancerous if you have too much. | ||

| That's why I said satellites. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified

Yeah, yeah. | |
| For during the 5G conversation. | ||
| Swampy says, Bill Gates also said in most recent interviews, world leaders would have everyone locked down till all humans globally have COVID vaccine and use the ID2020 chips to track who is and isn't vaxxed. | ||
| Sounds like a nightmare dystopia, but I wouldn't be surprised how crazy everything's getting. | ||

| Drunk Shovel says it comes from China. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And there's some senators here that have gotten it. | ||
| that only the average US citizen is getting CV19 but very few politicians. Please correct me if | ||
| I'm wrong. I believe you are wrong. A bunch of politicians have gotten it, especially in Iran, | ||
| and a bunch of celebrities. And that makes sense because celebrities and politicians are flying | ||
| all the time. And there's some senators here that have gotten it. Yeah. | ||
| Cuomo's brother had it? | ||
| There was a couple congressmen who got it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| Yeah. | ||
| Bridge Runner says, that poet Adam read in New York was the past equivalent of a virtue-signaling nonsense tweet. | ||
| It was written by an internationalist looking out for her people, not the well-being of America. | ||
| It's a cool poem, but I believe it was added, like, way late. | ||
| Yeah, it's not like it's American policy. | ||
| It's just really interesting that it's written, like, right on the wall when you're, like, walking into the museum of... And, you know, it's a whole different time, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Quiet Guitarist says, if nukes start dropping for mutually assured destruction, I'm going to rush to the bathroom to be an environmental storytelling toilet skeleton. | ||

| Yeah, we have. | ||
| You can't say that word? | ||
| No, you can't not say that word on YouTube. | ||
| It's the R word, mind you. | ||

| Everyone's got a code proving they've been vaccinated and everyone goes super hard nationalist. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Bridgeburner says, Tim, do more research into 5G. | ||
| It's not to cull the population, but can be harmful, and they are doing it anyway. | ||
| It will also do away with what little privacy we had left. | ||
| I don't trust them with it. | ||
| Well, I don't trust them with it either, but I've heard this too many times. | ||
| I'll look into it, though, for sure. | ||

| Yeah, I get what you were thinking. | ||
| and Lucas says the real question is what's the frequency, Kenneth? | ||
