You You Obama gate | |
| Donald Trump tweeted Obamagate. | ||
| It is the biggest tweet in the world, the most replied, the most retweeted, the most quoted. | ||
| Obamagate, what does it mean? | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| The most? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Out of all? | ||
| Out of everything. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| It's big, huh? | ||
| It's Twitter right now. | ||
| Obamagate. | ||
| That's all he said. | ||
| Man, there's too much to talk about for Obamagate. | ||
| We're not talking about Obamagate. | ||
| I just had to say it because it is such a big... I don't know, he tweeted it and everyone was like, No, we're talking about Elon Musk and a bunch of other stuff. | ||
| Much better. | ||
| Elon Musk said, arrest me, bro. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do it. | |
| What you gonna do? | ||
| No, he actually tweeted out... Watch, he gets arrested. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| That'd be nuts. | ||
| I mean, Texas arrested a salon... Or was it Texas or was it Florida? | ||
| It was Texas. | ||
| Texas. | ||
| Salon owner. | ||
| Salon owner. | ||
| This is great. | ||
| I mean, it's California. | ||
| It wouldn't surprise me if he got arrested. | ||
| So we actually have a very fun first hour. | ||
| So we got Elon Musk basically saying, I'm reopening my factory. | ||
| You can't do anything about it. | ||
| Come at it, bro. | ||
| Yeah, come arrest me. | ||
| He was like, if anyone's gonna be arrested, arrest me. | ||
| And so he's getting ragged on by the left, and it's like a weird culture war thing. | ||
| But Elon Musk is actually in the right for a lot of reasons we'll talk about. | ||
| But this brings us to the next bit is that there's a bunch of prisoners caught on tape trying to catch COVID. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know why? | |
| Because they'll probably get out, right? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So now they're like, hey, get me sick so I can go home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me get that get out of jail for COVID. | |
| But the salon owner, lock her up! | ||
| Well, I mean, they let her go. | ||
| Well, because of the intervention. | ||
| I know. | ||
| But, like, think about how insane it is. | ||
| I know. | ||
| They're exploiting the system to escape the switch. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| All right. | ||
| Anyway, welcome to the show, everybody. | ||
| This is Tim Castellaro on podcast. | ||
| I am Tim Poole, and I'm hanging out with some peeps. | ||
| You know. | ||
| You know me. | ||
| It's Adam. | ||
| You know me. | ||
| It's Adam Krigler. | ||
| Hanging out. | ||
| What up? | ||
| And there's another person here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's me. | |
| I'm Lydia. | ||
| Hello. | ||
| Lydia's a human. | ||
| Yeah, I am. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| She bears the burdens. | ||
| And a little Skyrim joke for y'all. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So thanks for checking out. | ||
| Make sure to hit that subscribe button if you haven't. | ||
| Hit the like button if you haven't. | ||
| And I don't know, there's something else we're supposed to do, right? | ||
| Like, oh, share. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Share stuff. | ||
| Follow me. | ||
| Follow Adam. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Here, wait. | ||
| There's his at. | ||
| There we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| You see that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
First try. | |
| Yo! | ||
| I'm getting good at this. | ||
| Follow me. | ||
| Hit me up on Twitter. | ||
| For those that are only listening, Adam is excited because he successfully pointed to his name on the screen. | ||
| First try. | ||
| First try. | ||
| First try right away. | ||
| First try? | ||
| Yeah, it's great. | ||
| But yeah, you should absolutely follow Adam because you can send him story ideas. | ||
| Please do. | ||
| On the Twitters. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| At AdamKrigler. | ||
| And then we actually use those stories. | ||
| So yeah, man, don't forget also hop into the super chat because we're going to be reading questions and comments and all that good stuff. | ||
| But do your best if you're going to super chat to try and put the specific context in it. | ||
| Because oftentimes people will be like, they'll say something like, man, I disagree with that. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And we'll be like, What? | ||
| We don't know what you're referring to, so it really helps if you want to get to the specifics of the question, make it easier for us. | ||
| But we got a bunch of stories. | ||
| We might actually get to a few other stories. | ||
| Donald Trump giving a smackdown to the press is always fun. | ||
| But we got a story. | ||
| This kid, this 11-year-old kid, nailed the first ever... It was a fakie 1080, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| Yeah, that's sick. | ||
| So there's an interesting debate here, though, because I did talk about this, you know, on my other channel, but it'll be interesting to talk with Adam about it. | ||
| 11-year-old skateboarder breaks a record, landing the first ever 1080, and we've got another story about transgender athletes. | ||
| So there's a lot of questions that come up around puberty and testosterone, I think we can talk to. | ||
| But the first story, and what we gotta get to, Mr. Elon Musk. Elon Musk defies coronavirus order and asks | ||
| to be arrested. Kind of. | ||
| I know my title for the video, he said, arrest me bro, is much more exaggerated than what they said. | ||
| But he basically said if anyone's gonna be arrested, I just ask it's only me. | ||
| I mean, it's basically the same. | ||
| That's pretty fair. | ||
| There's a lot going on here, man. | ||
| And it's funny because Elon Musk is getting dragged, but he's absolutely in the right on this one for so many reasons. | ||
| But let's read the story to get you the context. | ||
| The Verge writes Tesla is reopening its California car factory against Alameda County's wishes. | ||
| They say Musk spent parts of the weekend railing against the order, which was put in place in mid-March by Alameda County officials in order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. | ||
| The order restricted all but essential businesses from performing anything other than the most minimal operations, like processing payroll. | ||
| After initially fighting the order, Tesla shut down the factory on March 23rd. | ||
| Musk has argued that the statewide stay-at-home order put in place by Governor Gavin Newsom left room for Tesla's auto manufacturing plant to remain open. | ||
| and Musk had Tesla file a lawsuit against the county on Saturday in protest. | ||
| On Monday, Newsom said that the state has had very constructive conversations with the county | ||
| officials and Tesla representatives, and that he hopes the company could open up as early as next | ||
| week. Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty told the New York Times this past weekend that | ||
| the county and Tesla had been close to an agreement to reopen the factory on May 18th, | ||
| but that was before Musk lashed out and filed the lawsuit on Saturday. | ||
| Tesla started making cars over the weekend, as The Verge reported earlier on Monday. | ||
| So apparently, what, they've already broken the order, it sounds like. | ||
| And told all of the employees that it placed on furlough to get ready to get back to work. | ||
| Those employees have been told they can stay home if they feel uncomfortable, but have to take unpaid leave in order to do so. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Other automakers. | ||
| Yeah, but it's a furlough. | ||
| Can't they just file and get the claim like everybody else does through the government or the Trump bucks or something? | ||
| Yeah, I guess. | ||
| I think most people haven't even got it anyway, though. | ||
| I actually know somebody who used to work at Tesla, and I know for a fact that Elon works his employees pretty tough and hard anyway. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, it's like, that's kind of brutal. | ||
| Like, yeah, you can stay home if you're uncomfortable, but you're not going to get paid. | ||
| But why would they get paid if they don't come to work? | ||
| Everyone's furloughed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| I mean, are they getting unemployment, though? | ||
| That's up to them to file. | ||
| Is that what... I mean, furloughed means you're... Not getting paid. | ||
| Right, but you're not fired. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, can you get unemployment if you're not fired? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Specifically, the CARES Act covers that. | ||
| Oh, cool, cool. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So let's just pull up Mr. Musk's tweet here. | ||
| He said, Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. | ||
| I will be on the line with everyone else. | ||
| If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me. | ||
| So he's gonna be down on the line working the factory also. | ||
| Is that what he's saying? | ||
| Like, I'll be on the line too? | ||
| Am I right? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So the first reason why Elon Musk is in the right, and the most obvious one, Gavin Newsom said that the state was easing up and they were going to allow manufacturing plants to reopen. | ||
| So Elon Musk was like, all right, great, here we go, awesome. | ||
| And then Alameda County specifically intervened and was like, nope. | ||
| The mayor of Fremont, where the plant is, said yes. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yup, so Alameda is seemingly interfering with arbitrary rules that, it's like, why? | ||
| Yeah, why? | ||
| What? | ||
| Messing with Elon. | ||
| That's gotta be it. | ||
| The other point, why Elon Musk is in the right. | ||
| He said, you don't have to come to work. | ||
| It's crazy because we're seeing all of these people on the left say things like, Elon Musk is a whiny baby putting his employees at risk. | ||
| It's like, the employees... Not at all. | ||
| Well, don't they as human beings have agency to decide whether to work or not? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's like, you don't want to get sick, man, just stay home. | ||
| Yes, I said that. | ||
| You can stay home if you're uncomfortable. | ||
| So are they like trying to insinuate he's a slave driver? | ||
| He's gonna snatch him up from their house and drop him in the factory and lock all the doors? | ||
| Work. | ||
| Slave. | ||
| So you were saying you know somebody who's to work there, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Their argument against him, well, this woman, Lorena Gonzalez, who's like a really controversial Democrat in San Diego, said, F Elon Musk. | ||
| Like, just snapped. | ||
| Yeah, and Elon Musk responded, message received. | ||
| But she was claiming that he like, he's a bad boss. | ||
| He overworks people. | ||
| Well, I have heard that firsthand. | ||
| That he overworks people? | ||
| But at the same time, well, he doesn't work for him anymore, but he still enjoyed working for Tesla. | ||
| It's not like he was... I mean, it was stressful, but he liked his job. | ||
| It was enjoyable for him. | ||
| So it wasn't like he left angrily, you know? | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| It doesn't make sense for someone to say F you. | ||
| Yeah, I mean that's nuts. | ||
| Yeah, you can always quit, exactly. | ||
| I agree with that. | ||
| The funny thing about that lady is that she's responsible for something called Assembly Bill 5, which resulted in like thousands of lefty journalists getting fired. | ||
| It was a crazy bill. | ||
| It was the gig economy bill that basically said if you're a writer you can only write like 35 pieces per year. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah, because the unions were like, hire full-time employees or don't hire or don't contract because contracts undermine labor rights. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So she was like, you got it. | ||
| And then all of these lefty writers started like, at first, they were like, we did it, everybody. | ||
| We won union rights. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yay. | |
| And then the year that then December came around, and they got a notification from all of their companies saying, we're terminating your contracts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they were like, But what now? | |
| The funny thing about that was Vox.com wrote an article saying a major win for progressives, this bill that this woman passed. | ||
| And then Vox ended up laying off thousands, severing the contracts of thousands of writers at January 1st. | ||
| And all these people, it's like, dude, you were cheering for this. | ||
| But it's not like people that actually worked at Vox, right? | ||
| It was more like the people that they did hired like per per article. | ||
| Right. Yeah. But it's like you might have a contract with Vox where it says we want | ||
| you to write 20 articles per week. | ||
| OK. That's your job. | ||
| It's the reason you're a contractor is because same thing, though, as what I don't | ||
| know, as someone that would be hired to write an article like technically. | ||
| So here's the issue. | ||
| The reason that they would contract you for a writing job is because you can do it anywhere at any time, so long as you deliver. | ||
| So basically put it this way. | ||
| If I was like, yo Adam, I need from you a little wooden boat. | ||
| I need five of those every week. | ||
| I'd start whittling. | ||
| Just whittle, but you whittle when you feel like it. | ||
| You could whittle all in one day if you want. | ||
| Just as long as every Sunday you get me those five little boats, I'm gonna put them in my shop. | ||
| Why would I have to hire you as an employee of my company? | ||
| You run your own company. | ||
| You're a boatmaker. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Well, unless I am hired as your company. | ||
| Because if not, there's the other side. | ||
| You can hire an actual boatmaker. | ||
| You can contract someone who does really good whittling boats. | ||
| Or I can work here and work for you as part of your company. | ||
| But I would be in the union and that Whittler wouldn't be in the union. | ||
| And then you couldn't sell any of your wood products to anyone else? | ||
| It's gonna be fun. | ||
| But I would be in the union and that whittler wouldn't be in the union. | ||
| Isn't that kind of the difference? | ||
| And then you couldn't sell any of your wood products to anyone else. | ||
| My boats. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| So the point is... | ||
| The whittled boats that I make. | ||
| Let's say you have 10 clients. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And you whittle five boats for each client every week. | ||
| And now because of that bill, they all terminate their contracts with you. | ||
| They shut your company down. | ||
| Wouldn't you be able to sell your boats wherever you want then? | ||
| You'd think you'd be able to, but no, according to this bill, they can't contract you in this way. | ||
| Yeah, right, so this lady is responsible for terminating probably hundreds of thousands of jobs and destroying a bunch of companies and sole proprietorships. | ||
| And she got tore up! | ||
| So she has the nerve to come out against Elon Musk, because he's like, I want to reopen my factory, put people back to work, even though the governor agrees, the city agrees, and this one county is like, not Elon. | ||
| They're like, we don't like Elon, so we're just gonna keep his factory shut down. | ||
| I'm gonna throw some shade at the COVID argument people, because I got this tweet here. | ||
| Hold on, let me get my umbrella. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, I'm ready. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| Ready. | ||
| So this dude, James Todaro, MD, says, update on COVID-19 at Smithfield Meat Plant in South Dakota. | ||
| It has now been almost one month since the first employee death and three weeks since the second death. | ||
| Out of nearly 1,000 confirmed infections, still only two deaths. | ||
| Infection fatality rate is 0.2%. | ||
| Comparable to the flu. | ||
| Hmm. A little bit worse. | ||
| But the reason I bring this up is there's two points we made. | ||
| The first, to be fair, look man, you could get sick. | ||
| Yeah, you don't want to get sick It's like the flu some people die. | ||
| It's a nasty flu. | ||
| It's 0.2% So it's it's it's arguably like, you know, 33 to 30 percent worse than the flu at this number But this plant in South Dakota has never locked down. | ||
| They're fine. | ||
| They're like what ranked the 30th in terms of hospitalizations for COVID. | ||
| But you had all the press being like, you must lock down, you must shut down your economy. | ||
| And the governor was like, no, we won't do it. | ||
| So now looking at this data, going back to Elon Musk's point, reopening the factory, it looks like for the most part, you might get sick, but that's about it. | ||
| Hey, if you're healthy, you could probably beat it. | ||
| Most people who get it, it's like the flu. | ||
| Now, well, be careful because it is still serious. | ||
| It is novel, so a lot more people are still likely to get it. | ||
| But they only have a thousand confirmed infections. | ||
| That may actually be a lot, considering how many people work at the plant. | ||
| Confirmed infections, though. | ||
| So that's not counting the people that got it and don't know they got it. | ||
| Because there's a high chance of not having any symptoms at all, right? | ||
| Isn't that also something that's going on? | ||
| Yeah, asymptomatic. | ||
| So the point I'm trying to make, everybody calm down because I know that the Google ban people are, they have fingers shaking over the button getting ready to just ban. | ||
| What I'm saying is it's serious. | ||
| It's, it's, there's a lot of overestimates. | ||
| We got to take it seriously. | ||
| We don't want to, we don't want anyone to die. | ||
| It's novel. | ||
| So it's worse than the flu in that regard. | ||
| More people are likely to get it, likely to get it. | ||
| It does have a higher infection rate. | ||
| I'm sorry, a higher mortality rate. | ||
| But, I'm just saying, it's not the apocalypse, not the end of the world, everyone can calm down. | ||
| You know, you don't have to worry, it's a .2 mortality rate. | ||
| Take the precautions you need to take, wear your mask, wear your protective gear. | ||
| Tesla has taken a ton of crazy precautions, and they have like a mandatory training thing for people to be more cautious when dealing with materials. | ||
| They've also moved things around to streamline the process in the factory. | ||
| So the point I'm trying to make is, Everybody was freaking out saying the world was gonna end. | ||
| We were worried it was gonna be a lot worse than it was. | ||
| It's not the worst case scenario for, you know, for a lot of places actually. | ||
| We've seen all these studies come out. | ||
| It could be bad. | ||
| It's not the 3% we thought it was gonna be. | ||
| It's not the 4% we thought it was gonna be. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, look man, I don't see why people can't choose to go back to work if they want to. | ||
| That's just it. | ||
| Elon Musk is not forcing anybody. | ||
| You can stay furloughed if you want. | ||
| You can go back to work if you want. | ||
| They're taking precautions. | ||
| And I think people, for tribal reasons, are just trying to go after Elon. | ||
| And, you know, I want to go back to that point about the Lorena Gonzalez woman, and we'll drive a little bit on this. | ||
| I wanted to make sure we wrapped up the Elon thing a little bit, but I really want to talk about this lady who's attacking Elon Musk, because what she's proposed is one of the most insane things I've ever heard. | ||
| Basically, unions wanted to make sure that everybody was working at the company so that the union could pressure them to join the union. | ||
| Because in California, my understanding is, if you get hired to a company that's a union, you gotta join the union. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I hate that. | ||
| And you have to pay union dues and all that. | ||
| Imagine getting a law passed where you can force people to pay your organization. | ||
| That's messed up. | ||
| I hate it. | ||
| I don't want anything to do with your organization. | ||
| If you want the job, you gotta do it. | ||
| That may not be true. | ||
| I don't know exactly if California has that law, but a lot of places do. | ||
| There's a lot of lawsuits popping up where people are suing saying, I shouldn't have to join your union to work here. | ||
| And so I think they're winning in some of these places. | ||
| Well, I mean, why would it be? | ||
| I know it's forcing anyone to do anything is the problem that you have with it, right? | ||
| But I always was going under the assumptions that unions were a good thing, right? | ||
| They protected your rights. | ||
| Maybe 70, 80 years ago. | ||
| So you don't think we even need unions anymore? | ||
| We need collective bargaining. | ||
| Unions are messed up. | ||
| Bad. | ||
| There are some good unions for sure, but what it's become is... I'm not gonna name some of these, because they're just like shakedown organizations that'll sue me if I say their names. | ||
| But they go to media companies, they convince activists to unionize, not because they need | ||
| improvements to their benefits or anything like that, but to force all the employees | ||
| to pay those union dues every month, and then the union can claim, we just added, you know, | ||
| 300 new subscribers. | ||
| Imagine if you could snap your fingers and 300 people were giving you 50 bucks a month | ||
| or something. | ||
| Love that money. | ||
| Sounds pretty good. | ||
| And what do they really do for you? | ||
| Let me try it. | ||
| What do they really do for you? | ||
| It's not working. | ||
| So what we need is legit unions. | ||
| And that's the challenge. | ||
| How do you weed out the corruption and the breakdown of the system? | ||
| So the initial concept of unions was really, really great. | ||
| You know, you had a bunch of really awful conditions and all the people got together and engaged in a collective bargaining, which is fantastic. | ||
| And I'm like, I'll put it this way. | ||
| I'm actually extremely pro-union, but my concern is that a lot of the big corporate unions are corrupt and they exploit companies and try and hurt them and things like that. | ||
| So you end up with people who don't know what they're doing, giving up their rights. | ||
| Let me tell you, man, I worked for a company, they forced me to join the union, and then I couldn't move at all within the company. | ||
| It was like all of my opportunity and all my rights were gone. | ||
| Because, and whenever I had a problem, I couldn't go to my boss. | ||
| I couldn't go to the supervisors and be like, yo, I got a problem. | ||
| They'd go, no, no, no, union rep, union rep, nope, get out, get out, get out, I can't talk to you, I can't talk to you about this. | ||
| That sucks. | ||
| So then I'd have to go to a union rep, and then issue my grievance. | ||
| If I wanted a raise, go to a union rep, and then you know what the rep would say? | ||
| What? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Seriously? | |
| I'm already getting your paycheck. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| like, well, how do we do the negotiations, man? | ||
| They come end of the year. | ||
| Come on, bro. | ||
| I'm working. | ||
| So you can do it already getting your paycheck. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| That's what I hear here right now. | ||
| So like the, the, the issue I take with it is that it got so big that instead of | ||
| actually defending the rights of people, it just defends the rights of the people | ||
| who line their pockets with gold. | ||
| We had people who would run for executive board. | ||
| They'd be making an extra $20,000 a year because the union basically pays them. | ||
| That sounds like the problem with most positions of power. | ||
| It's always the same thing. | ||
| Whoever gets to the power, they're like, oh, you know, this power's pretty good and my bank account's looking pretty fantastic. | ||
| I don't really care about my morals anymore. | ||
| My bank account. | ||
| Look at my bank account. | ||
| They never cared. | ||
| Look at my bank account, though. | ||
| It's like... Yeah. | ||
| That's not... That's important. | ||
| Gotta take care of me on my own, they would say. | ||
| That's a thing. | ||
| That's why, like, for me, running these companies, we were talking about... I don't know if we talked about Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks. | ||
| Yeah, we did. | ||
| And he's, like, union-busting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That was hilarious. | ||
| Nah, nah. | ||
| You know what it is? | ||
| It's funny because he's supposed to be a progressive. | ||
| My attitude is this. | ||
| I'll give you honest advice. | ||
| I think the problem with unions, you know, but if you want to come to me and tell me your unionize, I'm going to be like, Hey man, you do your thing. | ||
| Like if you want to jump into a well head first, I don't care. | ||
| I'm not going to stop you, man. | ||
| I'm all about freedom and liberty. | ||
| So you do what you got to do. | ||
| And I just think it's detrimental to the individuals. | ||
| A lot of people don't get it. | ||
| They don't get it. | ||
| You're giving up so much to... It really depends. | ||
| It's the point, right? | ||
| It's like I was mentioning. | ||
| It's corrupt organizations that lock you down, take your money, and hold you back. | ||
| Especially at... You know, to be honest, especially at a company like the Young Turks. | ||
| They're not that big. | ||
| They're pretty big. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to be involved. | ||
| What's pretty big, like 30, 50, you know, employees? | ||
| No, I'm talking about thousands. | ||
| Oh, they have a thousand. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Young Turks probably has a hundred or something like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| All right. | ||
| So I'm saying, yeah, they're not very big. | ||
| So that's the kind of company where you can walk up to Cenk and be like, yo, here's what I need and here's what I want. | ||
| Union gets involved, you can never do that again. | ||
| I mean, you probably could, you know, because it's still not that big. | ||
| But I'll tell you what, man, I've worked at companies that have dealt with this stuff and it's like, you lose that freedom to shine. | ||
| They cut off the tall grass, it locks you down. | ||
| It basically straps everyone's ankles together, which can be a good thing for the people who can't swim. | ||
| So, look, think about it this way. | ||
| You got 100 people all in the ocean. | ||
| You got 20 of them who can't swim, 20 of them who can swim really, really well, and the rest are average. | ||
| You chain everyone together, and the really great swimmers are being held down by everyone else, and the really bad swimmers are being held up by everyone else. | ||
| I personally don't want someone chained to my leg. | ||
| That sounds horrible. | ||
| That's how I view it. | ||
| That's my view of it. | ||
| But that's why I'm saying, like, if someone came to me and they were like, I think we want to do this, I'd be like, go for it. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Keep me out of it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, that's why I run my company. | ||
| I don't... I'm not gonna... That's the thing, right? | ||
| When I worked for these companies, I was straight up like, nah, I don't want to be involved. | ||
| But anyway, going back to that Lorena Gonzalez woman, the most detrimental, devastating thing about what she ended up pushing with AB5, It's like, you have people who do writing for a bunch of different outlets, right? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Someone might be like, I write about food for, you know, food.food, I write about news for news.news, and I write about sports for sports.sports. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So you've got three clients that you work for. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like, basically, it's like you're a fruit vendor, and every day you have a company who says, I will buy a satchel of, you know, oranges, and another guy buys apples, and another guy buys mangoes. | ||
| Because of this bill, they've basically said you can no longer deliver these products to your customers. | ||
| So like, what do you do? | ||
| Do you like form an LLC then? | ||
| And now you're officially a company providing deliverables? | ||
| They've basically just said, let's say you have three different websites you write for. | ||
| And a lot of people did, had multiple sites they were writing for. | ||
| They all got their contracts severed because of this lady. | ||
| So then, What's the point? | ||
| Now I have to beg one of those companies to hire me and my company gets shut down? | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| That's empowering the big corporations, empowering venture capital, empowering big, you know, corrupt unions. | ||
| It seems to be the way everything's moving, just Walmart's taking over everything. | ||
| Oh yeah, dude, I mean- Amazon. | ||
| Talking about the lockdown and what Tesla's doing, we are seeing a bunch of small shops now defy the orders and like, F you basically. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because a local, you know, like a local shoe store can't be open. | ||
| Walmart? | ||
| No problem. | ||
| Walmart sells shoes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Gardening supplies? | ||
| Closed. | ||
| Walmart? | ||
| Open. | ||
| So there was like a weird loophole where it's like, if you sell booze, you can stay open. | ||
| So you're like, if you're a gardening shop, make sure you get a liquor license and sell a small case of beer. | ||
| That way you can't get shut down ever again. | ||
| It doesn't make sense. | ||
| But the bigger issue is that big box stores, major corporations were basically immune. | ||
| So all these lockdowns did was empower massive conglomerates. | ||
| Yeah, I'm sure they made a killing, man. | ||
| Well, they're losing a lot of money, but it's like, They're not sinking. | ||
| Every single time I went into any store over the past two months, it was like Sam's Club or Walmart. | ||
| I mean, those are the few places that were open. | ||
| Mad people, full carts. | ||
| Every single person I saw was just packed, a packed cart. | ||
| Well, because you can't go anywhere else anymore. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So it used to be like, yeah, I'll go to Walmart, pick up some paper towels, bread, milk, and eggs, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now I'm going to go there and get shoes, a new TV, a controller for my PlayStation. | ||
| So GameStop's out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're already struggling. | ||
| I mean, I don't believe GameStop was actually still around anyway. | ||
| Yeah, because we just order stuff. | ||
| We're a Best Buy. | ||
| I just download my games. | ||
| But it's the small businesses. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, the people who did specialty jobs. | ||
| That's what we're seeing. | ||
| It's the weirdest thing to see this like a tribal issue where it's like we want to destroy small business and we want everyone to work for someone else. | ||
| That's the craziest thing. | ||
| Yeah, I don't get that. | ||
| If you run your own company, you're fine. | ||
| Well, let's get over to the next bit where it gets even crazier. | ||
| Talking about the lockdown orders and all that stuff, we have this tweet. | ||
| From Bill Malugan, the LA County Sheriff says video surveillance shows inmates at a jail in Castaic sharing a water bottle, then rubbing the same mask on their faces to purposefully infect themselves with COVID-19 because they thought it would force their release. | ||
| 21 ended up infected. | ||
| Well, they got what they wanted. | ||
| Now, could you imagine if they actually arrested Elon Musk? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're not gonna do it. | ||
| But you know they're out there thinking like, oh, yes! | ||
| Some people want to. | ||
| It's a chance. | ||
| Well, there was one person that tweeted like... I bet. | ||
| I'm serious. | ||
| There was one person that tweeted like, I agree. | ||
| Arrest Elon Musk. | ||
| It's like a weird tribal thing. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're not going to, but they did arrest that salon owner in Dallas. | ||
| Yeah, and then they forced them to let her go. | ||
| Intervention from conservatives got her out. | ||
| You know, people, she made like 500 grand on a GoFundMe or something. | ||
| Good for her. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Great. | ||
| Great. | ||
| So at the same time, she was a boss. | ||
| I got to just say, she was a boss to that judge. | ||
| But think about how insane this is. | ||
| Dallas released like a thousand county jail inmates. | ||
| Insane. | ||
| Because it was Dallas that she got arrested? | ||
| Yup, same. | ||
| So we talked about this before. | ||
| What is going on? | ||
| The last time we talked about this, I was like, I don't think it's the same jurisdiction, let's be fair. | ||
| No, it was. | ||
| It was. | ||
| Dallas released like a thousand jail inmates and then put her in. | ||
| That is embarrassing. | ||
| That's insanity! | ||
| Yeah, all right. | ||
| That's probably a better word. | ||
| Now look what they're doing! | ||
| They're purposefully trying to get COVID because they know they're gonna get let go. | ||
| Check out this story. | ||
| California sheriff says inmates tried to infect themselves with coronavirus. | ||
| Two groups of inmates at a Los Angeles County jail. | ||
| This is a different story, right? | ||
| No, no, this is LA. | ||
| Okay, I think this is LA, right? | ||
| Same story? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| so. They tried to infect themselves by sharing water and a mask. Okay. And within two weeks, | ||
| 30 prisoners tested positive. Sheriff Alex Villanueva at a briefing showed surveillance | ||
| videos from two dormitory units at the North County Correctional Facility in Castaic. Yeah, | ||
| okay. It's the same place. The footage captured inmates in one unit sharing a container of | ||
| hot water and others in a second unit sniffing a mask. So gross. | ||
| Let me sniff that mask, bro. | ||
| Hey man, you got mask? | ||
| I got mask. | ||
| COVID positive. | ||
| I'd like to go home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look it up. | |
| Let me sniff that mask. | ||
| Yeah, my goodness. | ||
| The footage captures inmates in one unit sharing a container over there. | ||
| The sheriff said the inmates used hot water to try to raise their temperatures just before a nurse checked them. | ||
| An elevated temperature is a symptom for coronavirus. | ||
| Villanueva said the inmates mistakenly believed that if they were infected, they would be freed. | ||
| It's dismaying and it's disheartening. | ||
| None of the 30 inmates required critical care when they were sick, though some had moderate symptoms, said Bruce Chase, the department's assistant sheriff of custody operations. | ||
| No prisoners within the county's jail system, the largest in the country, have died from the virus. | ||
| Jails and prisons nationwide have become flashpoints. | ||
| More than 25,000 inmates have been infected, and about 350 have died nationwide, from Rikers Island in New York to federal, state, and local lockups coast-to-coast, according to an unofficial tally kept by the COVID-19 Behind Bars data project run by UCLA Law. | ||
| In California, five inmates in a state prison in San Bernardino have died from COVID complications and outbreaks. | ||
| So we got this. | ||
| They say in LA County, in mid-April, the North County Correctional Facility didn't have a single case. | ||
| Days later, nine inmates were flagged as being potentially sick. | ||
| I don't know if California has actually ended up releasing anybody. | ||
| So, I'll wrap this one up. | ||
| They say for most people the coronavirus cases are mild or moderate. | ||
| We know this. | ||
| Fever, cough, yadda yadda. | ||
| For some, it's all there. | ||
| Okay, we get it. | ||
| So the inmates think they're gonna get released. | ||
| Yeah, because... This is California. | ||
| They're not letting you go. | ||
| Yeah, not in California, I guess. | ||
| It's not Texas. | ||
| Or New York, right? | ||
| Why would Texas let people go? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| You'd think Texas is the place where they're like, son! | ||
| You got COVID, so we're giving you the chair. | ||
| The last, the last, yeah. | ||
| Just line them up. | ||
| Pull the lever. | ||
| Crank them in, crank them out. | ||
| Do they still hang people? | ||
| Everybody hold hands. | ||
| Do they still hang people in Texas? | ||
| Maybe in Texas? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| What? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| But they definitely have a death penalty there. | ||
| Yeah, Texas? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They haven't hung people for years. | ||
| I thought there was a state that just got rid of it. | ||
| Yeah, I'm pretty sure that there was a state that still hanged people. | ||
| What? | ||
| No. | ||
| I swear. | ||
| Can you look it up? | ||
| I'm looking it up right now. | ||
| I was kidding about Texas. | ||
| We love Texas. | ||
| But Texas you'd think would be substantially more brutal in terms of keeping people locked up, not letting them go, and then arresting a salon owner. | ||
| That's nuts. | ||
| Yeah, that doesn't make sense. | ||
| But it gets better. | ||
| It gets better. | ||
| Well, we gotta set examples for those salon owners that think they can open up. | ||
| How dare they? | ||
| We gotta set that example, man. | ||
| Or you also add in Texas. | ||
| I mean, you do have some hardcore people. | ||
| Those dudes showing up with rifles at the bar. | ||
| Big Daddy Zanes or whatever. | ||
| Big Daddy Zanes, right. | ||
| And then the police send out that big bearcat or whatever it's called. | ||
| Things are getting spicy, man. | ||
| This is nuts. | ||
| What are they doing? | ||
| Check out this story, though. | ||
| Prisoner released from facilities to limit COVID-19 spread, arrested again for crimes. | ||
| Now, this is Everett, Washington. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| They say, uh, Kami Borg is a business owner in Everett, and she knew this was inevitable. | ||
| It puts everybody at risk. | ||
| He could have broken into our store. | ||
| Instead, police say Matthew Crewson raged on a Thai restaurant across the street on Broadway, amped up on methamphetamines, using a crowbar to smash the wooden boards. | ||
| I'm sure glad they released this man from jail. | ||
| Oh, me too! | ||
| Well, let me ask you something. | ||
| Listen. | ||
| We do have an ethical conundrum here. | ||
| What are the moral constraints of a society when it comes to locking someone up where they could potentially be infected with a deadly disease? | ||
| Is that ethical? | ||
| Is that moral? | ||
| Is that constitutional? | ||
| It might border on cruel and unusual punishment. | ||
| Telling someone straight up, I know that you mugged that old woman and you're getting a year in jail. | ||
| Also, there's a viral contagion with a moderate mortality rate according to recent estimates that could mess you up. | ||
| Do we as a society have a right to put someone in the position? | ||
| That's a tough question, man. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's why I understand and lean towards letting people out. | ||
| But they gotta do better vetting. | ||
| Like this guy? | ||
| What's the first thing he does? | ||
| He takes a bunch of meth and then goes and smashes windows with a crowbar or something? | ||
| How many times have we read stories like this? | ||
| This is like, what, the fourth or fifth? | ||
| All I can think of is the birdshot, buckshot, birdshot, buckshot. | ||
| Oh, Dave Chappelle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's on math, oh no! | |
| He gets up, he's unfazed. | ||
| That was awesome. | ||
| But think about all this that's happening, and now it's like, okay, we're gonna arrest Elon, we're gonna release criminals, we're gonna let everybody go. | ||
| I think this is a major catalyst for the Boogaloo, man. | ||
| I think so, too. | ||
| The Boogaloo. | ||
| It's funny, Vice wrote about the Boogaloo Boys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Boogaloo Boys. | |
| The Boogaloo movement. | ||
| It's like, calm down, Vice. | ||
| You're looking for everything everywhere. | ||
| I do think we're dangerously close to a civil war. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't, I don't know what that means. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I could just be a little excited. | ||
| I've been saying this for a while now, but I haven't been wrong. | ||
| A little fear mongering? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| That's so unlike you. | ||
| Fear mongering would be me lying and trying to claim something so that I could drum up clicks or something. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Me telling you my legit opinion on what's been going on over the past several years and where we at today. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's not fear mongering. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Some people will say it is for sure, criticize me, but I'm being completely legit when I'm asking these questions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because listen, a bunch of dudes showed up to a grocery store. | ||
| They're wearing masks. | ||
| They have body armor. | ||
| They have rifles. | ||
| Totally legal. | ||
| Totally legal. | ||
| Then you had a bunch of people show up to this bar that was defying the governor's orders, and then a bearcat comes out. | ||
| Technically still totally legal. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They weren't inside the store, right? | ||
| It's not even that. | ||
| The governor doesn't have the right to decree that you can't do these things. | ||
| Now when it comes to business licenses, there's an argument there. | ||
| But we're still getting dangerously close. | ||
| Then you look at prisons letting people out. | ||
| Judges, telling the woman, you have to apologize to me. | ||
| Apologize now or else. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| And she was like, nope. | ||
| But I'm not even... I applaud that woman, by the way. | ||
| Yeah, seriously. | ||
| Man, when I heard her say that, I was like, oh yes! | ||
| But here's the important bit. | ||
| It's the Supreme Court of Texas. | ||
| overturned it, meaning we were always on the side of the law when we said she should not submit and apologize. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And the Supreme Court overruled the lower court. | ||
| So we and everybody who said this woman was doing the right thing was correct. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The scary thing is you get banned from social media because, you know, they don't care. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You can't you can't say these things. | ||
| But I'll tell you what right now. | ||
| We're not we won't get super political, but I got I'm good. | ||
| I'm going to I'm going to throw it Obamagate into the mix on this one. | ||
| Oh man, Obamagate. | ||
| Obamagate. | ||
| You heard him say it. | ||
| We'll bring it back to the on-the-ground stuff and the Boogaloo stuff. | ||
| Listen man, right now you've got Donald Trump tweeting at Obamagate the implication that Obama directed or was involved in false charges brought against Trump and his administration to sabotage his administration as he was coming into power. | ||
| It seems like it. | ||
| But it's beyond that. | ||
| There's a lot of insinuations about You know, was the previous administration involved in trying to sabotage the campaign of Trump to help Hillary win? | ||
| Beyond that, why do we go through years of this conspiracy theory stuff? | ||
| We don't need to get too much into that because I want to keep it to the on-the-ground stuff. | ||
| But this is where it brings us today. | ||
| You've got, right now, documents being released from the Attorney General and classified documents. | ||
| And conservatives are pretty much on board with, it looks like there's something dirty here from the Obama administration, for sure. | ||
| At the very least, Obama knew, and we don't know how he knew this stuff was going on, and it's crazy. | ||
| The FBI went after Michael Flynn's kid. | ||
| They had no justification for investigating him in the first place. | ||
| They took one casual statement he made and claimed it was a lie during an investigation and used that to prosecute him. | ||
| So all of this is overturned. | ||
| You have two factions right now. | ||
| You have the left that believes Donald Trump is subverting the rule of law, and that he's a mobster, getting all his buddies off the hook for crimes they committed. | ||
| Then you have another faction that believes the Obama administration and the FBI were falsely laying charges to sabotage Trump's administration, and now finally Trump is on the counter-offensive, weeding out the corrupt. | ||
| It doesn't matter what you think is right, the fact is they exist. | ||
| So what happens when Trump gets reelected or what happens when this goes, when stuff like this starts happening? | ||
| So to bring it back to the on the ground stuff, you have in the debate about whether or not to reopen or stay closed, tribalism. | ||
| The left doesn't care about the science. | ||
| They don't care about the facts. | ||
| They don't care about the studies. | ||
| They don't care about the UN. | ||
| They don't care about the starvation. | ||
| They're saying shut up and shut down, period. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's scary. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| It is. | ||
| It's spreading people into two factions, like open up or not to open up. | ||
| I think the objective reality is that we can see real wrongdoing on the part of these FBI agents. | ||
| Yep, definitely. | ||
| Obama knew. | ||
| We'll see how far that goes. | ||
| I know a lot of people who have done a lot of research in this will make more definitive claims about the Obama administration. | ||
| But it stands to reason that right now the evidence shows the right is, it's like correct leans in their direction. | ||
| Especially when you look at what's going on with the lockdown, it's where things get crazy. | ||
| First of all, governors don't have the right to decree that you can't protest. | ||
| Bill de Blasio has no right to decree that you can't protest. | ||
| So the left is already in the wrong on this one. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| UN says starvation is coming. | ||
| We gotta reopen. | ||
| What does the left say? | ||
| People want haircuts. | ||
| Just not true. | ||
| That's not what people are protesting for. | ||
| Some people for sure, but to highlight the one person out of the, you know, hundreds of thousands. | ||
| Yeah, it makes no sense. | ||
| We're seeing surfers in California and Hawaii be like, no way, dude. | ||
| Like, insane lies from people that the virus is vaporized in the ocean shore and it'll get you sick if you go near it. | ||
| Like, that's nuts. | ||
| Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. | ||
| But then they come out and they argue that the right is anti-science and Elon Musk is anti-science. | ||
| They arbitrarily say Elon Musk can't reopen. | ||
| Wait, the right says that? | ||
| The left. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So the right. | ||
| Did I say the right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was like, what? | ||
| The left is arguing that you can't reopen or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, it's stupid. | ||
| So if you look at what's actually going on with the data, we have four or five studies now saying the mortality rate is very, very, very low. | ||
| And there are substantially more people who have had this. | ||
| We've had local doctors come out, get their videos deleted from YouTube for calling this out. | ||
| The UN says if we don't reopen, 130 million will starve. | ||
| I think, at the very least, we can say, we get it. | ||
| It's serious. | ||
| People are going to lose their lives. | ||
| More people are going to lose their lives because the economy is collapsing. | ||
| We've got to get things going again so people can get food. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| Yeah, people can go out, just wear masks, wash your hands, social distance. | ||
| We can do this. | ||
| People aren't idiots. | ||
| We can make it happen. | ||
| Well, it reminds me of that Men in Black comment, right? | ||
| A person is smart. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| People are dumb, panicky, you know. | ||
| Dangerous animals. | ||
| Dangerous animals. | ||
| Is that was the quote? | ||
| Yeah, I love that quote. | ||
| Yeah, it's a good quote. | ||
| But an individual who doesn't want to get sick. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| If you want to go to Walmart, you see someone not wearing a mask, you avoid them. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| You walk away. | ||
| You wear gloves. | ||
| You sanitize your hands. | ||
| Don't touch your face. | ||
| There are ways you could protect yourself, but we also know the data has shown going outside is actually better. | ||
| 66% of people who have gotten sick were staying home. | ||
| I think this was in New York, showing that the people who are going out consistently were less likely to get sick. | ||
| So the lockdown may have failed. | ||
| Something happened? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know what that was. | ||
| Who's guessed? | ||
| The lockdown may have been substantially, may have hurt us more so. | ||
| So we have all this data. | ||
| Now it's time to reassess. | ||
| What do we get? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Tribalism saying no. | ||
| So I just think about what happens come November. | ||
| Vegas odds have Trump to win. | ||
| The polls had Biden to win, but they're dropping. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| There was a really funny tweet I saw where a bunch of Bernie supporters were laughing when the polls came that Trump was now beating Biden in a bunch of key states. | ||
| So it's like, what happens when you have all of this, all of these people who arbitrarily want the lockdowns to continue, jokingly saying, fine, go and arrest Elon Musk, attacking Elon Musk, even though he's completely in the right, and then Trump wins again. | ||
| Do these people just say like, well, gosh darn it, we lost. | ||
| I guess we'll just carry on with our lives. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It feels like they're becoming a minority. | ||
| Like, I don't know anybody like that anymore. | ||
| And all my friends who used to like Bernie don't really follow Bernie anymore. | ||
| They're becoming more, I say conservative, but they're not conservative, but they sure don't associate with Democrats anymore. | ||
| The left side. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's everybody I know. | ||
| Maybe, maybe then what we're really seeing is like the last remnants of the democratic establishment collapsing. | ||
| See, that makes more sense to me. | ||
| I don't, I don't think it's going to be a boogaloo. | ||
| It's going to be people are like, oh wait, we all feel the same way. | ||
| All right. | ||
| All right, good. | ||
| Well, the, the few that have, that thought they had a huge voice and a huge backing, they're like, suddenly there's no one behind them and they're just standing by themselves. | ||
| It's the internet. | ||
| You know, yes. | ||
| But I think maybe one of the ways to look at it is Trump defeated the Republican establishment, crushed them. | ||
| They're gone. | ||
| They've either fallen in line with Trump or they've retired and they're gone. | ||
| They did it to themselves more. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| The Democrats? | ||
| No, the Republicans. | ||
| Trump defeated the Republican establishment. | ||
| Oh, OK. | ||
| Yeah, in 2015, 2016, when he won. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| You shut him out. | ||
| And then you had the never-Trumper Republicans go, oh, harumph! | ||
| Oh, no, we'll resist! | ||
| And then they joined the Democrats. | ||
| But now you have that last vestige of the establishment collapsing. | ||
| You've got the leftist populists mocking them and laughing as they wither. | ||
| And the same thing from the right-wing populists. | ||
| Like, the elite establishment is gone. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| So maybe, yeah, that's a good point now that I think about it. | ||
| Maybe there won't be a Boogaloo, because what we're really seeing is the vocal, the last remnants of a vocal minority shrinking into nothingness. | ||
| Yep, that's what I see. | ||
| For the record, he agreed with me. | ||
| Yeah, that's kind of an interesting take. | ||
| Everyone loves calling out the other way, but see, there are some times you're in agreement. | ||
| Maybe there will be no Boogaloo. | ||
| I don't think there's gonna be a Boogaloo. | ||
| It is fun to say, though. | ||
| It's from an 80s movie! | ||
| How did it become the word for Civil War? | ||
| It sounds like a really cool cat's name. | ||
| Oh, that's Boogaloo. | ||
| He's cool. | ||
| That is a good name for a cat. | ||
| Yeah, I like that. | ||
| Boogaloo. | ||
| You're welcome. | ||
| Yeah, Trump wants to reopen. | ||
| Barr is going to the states for the lockdowns. | ||
| I don't think people come November are going to blame Trump for this when it's the Democratic governors who are insisting we stay shut down and people are complaining. | ||
| And the Republican governors are the opposite. | ||
| Like, yeah, let's keep open. | ||
| Let's open everything. | ||
| It's such a weird world, man. | ||
| It's weird, yeah. | ||
| Like we mentioned several times, Gallup polls showing Republicans in Congress have higher favorability now for the first time in like 20 or 30 years. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I try telling people, you know, it's like, they want to accuse me of being biased and I'm like, I think you just don't see what's really going on. | ||
| Give it time, give it time. | ||
| Give it time, yeah. | ||
| When I said all the things I said two years ago, right? | ||
| What happens two years later? | ||
| Gallup poll comes out saying Republicans have a higher favorability. | ||
| Why? | ||
| It's not because I'm making things up or lying to protect the right. | ||
| It's that the right was correct about what they were doing and the American people responded positively to it. | ||
| And so then I was like, see? | ||
| I wasn't wrong. | ||
| Donald Trump's approval rating is higher than it's ever been on average. | ||
| It's gone down a bit from its highest point but it's still higher than it's been on average. | ||
| His favorability is up. | ||
| New York Times says... My opinion of him is certainly raised up higher. | ||
| You know what it is? | ||
| I gotta tell you, man, the more they lie, the more they get caught lying, the more anger I have for everything the media, the Democrats, the cronies have done. | ||
| And I can feel it. | ||
| You know, when you go to that voting booth and you want to just stick it to the man by slamming down that Donald Trump lever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dude, Chuck Todd. | ||
| He's MSNBC, right? | ||
| Meet the Press? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| He put out a clip. | ||
| out of context and got called out immediately for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| They used to think they could get away with this. | ||
| They played a clip of Bill Barr, the Attorney General, making it seem like he was gloating, | ||
| like, ha ha, we're the winners, so we can do whatever we want. | ||
| Basically, he was asked about dropping the charges against Michael Flynn, and he said, | ||
| well, you know, history is written by the winners. | ||
| But he said, I think history will shine favorably, showing us we followed the rule of law. | ||
| They cut the last part out, so it's him laughing, going like, history is written by the winners, | ||
| like, making it seem like, they used to do this stuff. | ||
| What, and no one was for it? | ||
| They were like this is BS Yeah, and they had to apologize shut your mouth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's how bad it was good like everyone called him out I called him out. | ||
| I love it Yeah. | ||
| I think it was really stark because Chuck Todd went on to say, well, he didn't say anything about following the rule of law or having any kind of compassion. | ||
| And then somebody showed the full clip and it was like, yeah, that's exactly what he said next. | ||
| Exactly what he said. | ||
| And you freaking knew it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So here's what I see, man. | ||
| I see these pundits on Twitter and they put out their like, it just insults all day. | ||
| It's like you'll see a comment from a Trump personality or from the president, and they'll say, he's stupid, he's ridiculous, he's a criminal, he's crook, he's corrupt. | ||
| I'm like, these aren't ideas. | ||
| It's just so annoying. | ||
| You're just saying your opinion, and that's news? | ||
| But the lies, man, the media lies. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Makes me angrier and angrier. | ||
| And boy, do I not not want them to get away with all of the deception and the deceit and the lies. | ||
| And it's really frustrating, too, man, when I see my friends go on like Instagram and post stuff about how, you know, we must remain locked down. | ||
| Like, people are so dumb they want to save the economy. | ||
| How dumb are they? | ||
| They just want to make rich people get richer. | ||
| And I'm like... It's like, no, that's happening already. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's like, what? | ||
| It's the small businesses that are going under now. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And the supply chain, right. | ||
| How do you talk to these people, man? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They have a set mindset, and it's like they're getting triggered in any other sense, and they just go emotional, so all the logic goes out the window. | ||
| You can't talk to people like that. | ||
| So I have friends posting on Instagram and Facebook and stuff where they're like, these heartless conservatives want people to get sick and die like Elon Musk, and I'm like... Oh my gosh. | ||
| What do I say over Facebook to this person I've known for years? | ||
| To let them know... I sent a message to a friend of mine. | ||
| It was like a high-profile individual. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Who was saying like, no to reopening the economy. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And I was like, the UN says 130 million people will starve. | ||
| Should we just let those people die? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No response. | ||
| Just ignore it. | ||
| Yeah, because it goes against what they believe. | ||
| So they're triggered and get emotional and can't... You're just an enemy to them now. | ||
| Is it possible that what's happening? | ||
| You know, so I've always been, like both of us, well all three of us, we're like calm, rational, logical people. | ||
| And so we're driven away from these hyperbolic, emotional, like pointless reactions. | ||
| Agreed, yeah, I definitely am. | ||
| So is the right becoming a more calm and logical place? | ||
| Still with its emotional reactions, for sure. | ||
| And is the left becoming a haven for the people who just react emotionally? | ||
| I can't speak for the right, because I feel like I'm still in the center, and that's where I... I mean, because I agree with both sides and I disagree with both sides, so... I think far left are crazy people that I don't associate with at all. | ||
| But here's what I mean. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You are moderate. | ||
| Probably left. | ||
| Well, actually, you took the compass test. | ||
| You're a liberal. | ||
| I am on the left. | ||
| And so here you are talking about close to center, though. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| That's normal. | ||
| That's where liberals have usually been. | ||
| So what I kind of think might be happening is when someone like you or me sees a conservative or liberal on Twitter and the liberal is yelling re and the conservative is saying, I humbly disagree. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Which one? | ||
| And here are my reasons. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| I mean, when you put it that way, that's absolutely the person I would side with. | ||
| So then my question is, over time, will we end up seeing the right, I'm doing air quotes just to whatever the right is, be a bunch of people calmly sipping their tea and saying, well, dare I say, good sir, my question about the economy has to do, and then, you know, Peter Jordan's saying, well, let me tell you about what I think, and then Joe Rogan's like, that's crazy, I never thought about that. | ||
| And on the left, it's riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii To be less silly. | ||
| That was a very good read, by the way. | ||
| I had to try and tone it down because I didn't want to scream. | ||
| I know, it was good though. | ||
| I guess the point I'm trying to make is, if people who have emotional reactions and don't care to do research are manipulated into believing all this fake stuff, then the left will just be people who are all waving their arms and going, While the people on the right are going to include moderates, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, all being the right and having a wide range of views, but having a conversation about it. | ||
| That's kind of what I was saying earlier, where it feels like those people on the left that are reeing are just slowly fading away because they're becoming more and more in a spotlight, for one. | ||
| That girl who screams no when Trump won, she's now a forever mean of just... And who wants to be that? | ||
| Who wants to be that person? | ||
| Everyone's like, wow, that person's ridiculous. | ||
| Look how emotional that person is. | ||
| And it's like, yeah. | ||
| Or you could, you know, get political and try to make a difference instead of just standing there screaming no, doing absolutely nothing. | ||
| The re-thing is, I'm exaggerating a bit, right? | ||
| To be fair, I'll put it this way. | ||
| I have a friend with hundreds of thousands of followers who makes a post saying, we can't reopen the economy. | ||
| All it will do is make the billionaires wealthier and I'll sacrifice the poor people. | ||
| And so there's no logic there. | ||
| There's no real understanding of how the economy works. | ||
| Complete disregard for the science and the economics of it. | ||
| And we're not backing it up, I'm assuming. | ||
| No, just saying. | ||
| Just saying. | ||
| Just saying the government should just give us money and waive rent. | ||
| That's what they said to me. | ||
| And so when I respond with, How will these companies pay their employees if you don't pay their rent? | ||
| Like, the landlord isn't some guy, like, in a castle with a crown. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's a dude in an office who's like, I've got a bunch of properties, I gotta pay, you know, here's my mortgage, here's my interest, here's my bills, here's my groundskeeper, here's my staff, here's my electrician, here's my repairman, here's my, you know, the delivery guy. | ||
| How will all those people get paid if you say you shouldn't pay rent? | ||
| Well, the government should pay it, okay? | ||
| Where does the government get the money? | ||
| They just print it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| So my question is like, your reaction has no basis in reality. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You've done no research. | ||
| You've read no news stories. | ||
| You have reckless disregard for those who have starved to death. | ||
| Is that what the left has become? | ||
| Letting people starve to death is basically like letting the poor die. | ||
| And that was their argument to keep it closed, wasn't it? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| The small businesses are collapsing. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| The small businesses are collapsing, not the corporate enterprise. | ||
| The billionaires are making money. | ||
| They're simultaneously- The billionaires are fine right now. | ||
| They're not worried. | ||
| That Robert Reich guy or whatever his name is. | ||
| Is that his name? | ||
| Robert Reich or something? | ||
| Robert Reich? | ||
| I haven't- I'm not familiar. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Elon Musk tweeted that he was boring and stupid or something. | ||
| He tweets out like, billionaires added $200 billion to their wealth during the lockdown while poor people are suffering. | ||
| He's like, the poor people are suffering because you've shut their businesses down. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| You don't understand. | ||
| And they lost all their jobs, even if they weren't their own business. | ||
| Now they have no jobs. | ||
| Their strenuous life, the line that they were riding, now it's all crumbled away. | ||
| So how do you talk to them? | ||
| What do we do? | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| It's crazy because I've always been really good at communications, like I did fundraising for non-profits. | ||
| Literally communicating with the public to convince them, and I'm at a loss for how we deal with these people. | ||
| It's like, how do you deal with someone who says, I believe in science, and then when you go, here's a study saying people are dying and starving to death and the mortality rate is low, and they go, no! | ||
| And they throw it in the garbage. | ||
| They don't want that study. | ||
| Yep, that challenges my belief system, so I'm not gonna listen to that or believe it. | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| They're like, nope, I'm good. | ||
| I don't have to agree with you or argue with you because you challenged what I believe. | ||
| That's scary. | ||
| So I'm just gonna go the other way and ignore you forever. | ||
| Block. | ||
| It's like, you know the crazy thing about it is, when I was growing up, it was the religious people who behaved more that way. | ||
| Like, I'm right, I don't care, this is what's true, and now it's all of a sudden you have like... I was talking to people about this, you know, notably Ben Shapiro's philosophy, because he's very religious, he's an orthodox Jew, but he's a libertarian. | ||
| So it's like, his idea is kind of like, I'll mind my own business and practice my religion how I want to. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| But now it's the flippening. | ||
| It's probably why the conservatives have a higher approval rating in Congress. | ||
| Something switched. | ||
| You know what I was thinking? | ||
| Maybe it might be that it works this way with trends, too, and cultures. | ||
| So you have the left of like 10 years ago. | ||
| You got Jon Stewart. | ||
| Funny guy. | ||
| Honest guy. | ||
| Great guy. | ||
| He called out Joe Biden, the audacity of grope, uncritically showing Project Veritas, like legitimately showing Project Veritas and praising the work they did. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Even though Veritas, you know, is, you know, right-leaning or whatever people want to accuse them of. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Today it's all like attacks and smears. | ||
| But here's what I think happens. | ||
| You have someone like Jon Stewart and you have a left that actually has thought leaders, comedians, funny people. | ||
| And so all the cool kids are involved. | ||
| I miss those days. | ||
| So the left was cool, you know? | ||
| Jon Stewart was leading the charge in a comedic way to deliver the news to people. | ||
| Yeah, he was great. | ||
| It was clever, too, because people didn't care about the news. | ||
| And he found a way to get people to care, and it was funny, and it was cultural. | ||
| What do we get after Jon Stewart? | ||
| Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Trevor Noah. | ||
| That's just fake. | ||
| It's them lying and making stuff up. | ||
| Jon Stewart was legit. | ||
| So here's what I think happens. | ||
| The cool people You know, the skateboarders, for instance, were on the left because the left was being rational and honest. | ||
| When the left stopped being rational and honest and started attacking the thought leaders, and the thought leaders started leaving, we lost George Carlin, you know, 12 years ago. | ||
| That was a huge, you know, hit for what the sane left was. | ||
| Jon Stewart retires. | ||
| Now the cool people are watching the re-people shrieking and cancel culture, and so they're more attracted to the right, which is fun and memes. | ||
| Leaving all of the... Like a leaderless movement, essentially. | ||
| The left has become emotional, reactive, and leaderless. | ||
| Look at Joe Rogan, for instance. | ||
| He says he'd rather vote for... He wanted to vote for Bernie. | ||
| Then he says he'd rather vote for Trump. | ||
| But they call him alt-right and all this other weird stuff. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| So it's like if Joe Rogan, who is a lefty, pot smoking... You say they, but that group feels so small now. | ||
| There's just a small group of people. | ||
| That's what it feels like to me. | ||
| Like they're just screaming and they have a platform to scream on, which is Twitter and mainstream media even. | ||
| You know, it's like they're all over there. | ||
| But the social media companies protect them. | ||
| Ban everyone else. | ||
| I know because it's not gonna last very long because they were always default Yeah, like Jon Stewart was cool and valuable HBO all these things and so the big companies are late to the party They don't realize they're that you know, the ad dollars are propping up things people don't like. | ||
| Yeah, you know, hey, maybe we're crazy Maybe we're gonna crumble eventually though. | ||
| Maybe people like being in ignorant bliss. | ||
| Maybe we're the minorities I think that's the real boogaloo that's going to happen. | ||
| It's going to be a battle between those two forces, but they're going to be smushed. | ||
| The majority, as far as what I believe, is people in the middle and on the right looking at the left like, wow, they're really crazy now. | ||
| This is why they hate YouTube. | ||
| On YouTube, when they put up one of these stupid social justice commercials, obliterated. | ||
| They disable the comments, they disable the like and dislike ratio. | ||
| I love that! | ||
| That's hilarious! | ||
| And then eventually just delete the video. | ||
| But think about what Reddit does. | ||
| Reddit starts banning. | ||
| The moderators will ban a conservative post or a moderate post. | ||
| And so then what ends up happening is, Reddit, so this is the way I was explaining it earlier, if you have a hundred, you know, people, fifty conservative, fifty liberal, that means there's a good civil war between ideas. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's like, I might say like, I like oatmeal cookies, no chocolate chip is better! | ||
| And someone says snickerdoodle! | ||
| And you have a, sometimes you'll see a snickerdoodle post, or a chocolate chip post, or an oatmeal cookie post. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But then Reddit says, we don't like oatmeal cookies because sometimes raisins are in them, so we're gonna ban anyone who posts oatmeal cookies. | ||
| That's a shame, I love oatmeal cookies. | ||
| All of a sudden, the oatmeal cookie people start leaving, because they're like, we don't get to hear about oatmeal cookies anymore. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, chocolate chip just starts skyrocketing, and now there's no way to ever get a post upvoted that's about oatmeal cookies, because they started removing posts. | ||
| So Reddit becomes hyper-polarized, and people get washed into that insanity. | ||
| Oatmealgate. | ||
| So anyway, the point is, you say like, they might get crushed, they might be small, but the institutions are propping them up. | ||
| Like, no one in their right mind, no sane, reasonable person thinks Joe Biden can be president. | ||
| But they're losing their power. | ||
| Like, Reddit is losing their power. | ||
| Are they? | ||
| I mean, kind of. | ||
| I think it is. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Their ranking has been dropping a little bit. | ||
| That doesn't surprise me. | ||
| And I'm sure the same is for YouTube. | ||
| Like, who knows? | ||
| Like, Bitchute's now around, Mines is out. | ||
| Like, I don't know if there's going to be a competitor. | ||
| People have asked you, and I know it's because YouTube sets up all the different things into one spot, so it's hard. | ||
| You know, and they can easily probably put someone down if they're going somewhere else, but I mean, it's only a matter of time. | ||
| This is why I think they attacked you. | ||
| Twitter, same thing. | ||
| I think they attacked YouTube so hard because with YouTube, people who, if you click the video and then you watch for a long time, YouTube recommends it more. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It wasn't about an arbitrary group of moderators deleting stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So this allowed content that people actually like to start doing really, really well. | ||
| And there's been a massive spike in conservative content. | ||
| At least they call it conservative. | ||
| What I really think it is, it's the culture war right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't think it means right wing or left wing in the political sense. | ||
| It's more just not left. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Would be more accurate. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, because in the rankings, they consider my content conservative. | ||
| I made a video where I'm like, the death penalty should be opposed at all costs. | ||
| And a bunch of conservatives argue with me like I disagree. | ||
| And I'm like, well, I oppose the death penalty. | ||
| It's not a conservative opinion for the most part. | ||
| I say for the most part because it's a particularly libertarian position. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's like, I can say my position and my politics, which are clearly liberal left-leaning, as are yours. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But because we'll rag on the left, they say we must be right. | ||
| So this kind of content is skyrocketing. | ||
| These social justice racist commercials are getting attacked left and right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But then, you know what? | ||
| It's almost like Venture capitalists and advertising agencies are trapped 10 years ago when they thought the left was hit. | ||
| But I'll tell you what, man. | ||
| Yeah, that's it. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| I have rock stars. | ||
| I say rock stars, but like very famous musicians who hit me up. | ||
| And we'll be like, yo, bro, I saw your video, man. | ||
| And they'll say like, here's what I was thinking. | ||
| COVID! | ||
| Pro skateboarders. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want to jam with these people. | |
| I want to skate with those people. | ||
| Dude, the craziest thing to me, I've said this before, but it bears repeating in the context of this video. | ||
| When I got hit up by some of these pro skateboarders, like, dude, skateboarders trespass. | ||
| They break the rules. | ||
| They care for no laws. | ||
| They're anarchists, like libertarian. | ||
| And they were hitting me up being like, I agree 100%. | ||
| Like, this is nuts. | ||
| Dude, you know what it is? | ||
| I think skateboarders really... Not for the most part, because a lot are probably just not paying attention, but at the core, like these authoritarian leftists and the weird social justice stuff, it's fake social justice, it's authoritarian, and it's the antithesis of skateboarding. | ||
| Skateboarding's all about you conquering by yourself. | ||
| Like, a skateboarder will tell you, hey man, you gotta do it. | ||
| You gotta drop in. | ||
| No one's gonna drop in for you. | ||
| That's the antithesis of what they say. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Like, you need to... No, someone has to drop in for you because of your privilege. | ||
| It's not fair or something. | ||
| You're too tall. | ||
| You're a man. | ||
| You're a woman. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| So I started getting hit up by skateboarders telling me they agreed and stuff, and I'm like, some people that I've known since I was a kid and looked up to, I was like, wow, man. | ||
| Like, these people are hippies. | ||
| Like, these are the leftists who are like, chillin', smokin', pot in the beach, arguing against the Democrats right now. | ||
| That to me was like, I think these marketing companies still just assume the left is cool. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'll tell you what, man. | ||
| Side note. | ||
| They'll figure it out. | ||
| They'll follow the money. | ||
| We'll, uh... Actually, we should jump to the skateboarding segment in this, you know. | ||
| But I'll make one more quick comment. | ||
| There was a post on Reddit about... It was like, F the alt-right or something. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like, it's a subreddit dedicated to ragging on the alt-right. | ||
| Which basically doesn't exist anymore, like, as a movement. | ||
| Like, it's been wiped out by social media. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But it was a picture of Desmond, the 11-year-old drag queen. | ||
| Danth. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Are you familiar with the Desmond story? | ||
| I... I don't think so. | ||
| Eleven-year-old boy ripping off their clothes on stage for money as adult men throw money at him. | ||
| Okay, I've heard about this, but I never saw the video. | ||
| Was it really cringe? | ||
| It's horrifying. | ||
| It sounds terrible. | ||
| I don't want to get too into detail, but it's a little boy pulling off his clothes on stage. | ||
| He's wearing clothes underneath multiple layers. | ||
| And then men throw dollars at him. | ||
| I asked some people I know who have familiarity with the gentleman club enterprises, strippers, I know some strippers, and I asked them, and they told me that was stripping. | ||
| They said that what people don't realize about stripping is that a lot of strip clubs don't allow full nudity. | ||
| So the women wear sports bras and sports running shorts, and when they strip, They're still fully clothed underneath. | ||
| And so I was specifically told about that video. | ||
| They were like, oh yeah, like in South Dakota, 100% that's legit stripping. | ||
| Like that would be considered stripping to any stripper in like these areas and these jurisdictions. | ||
| So is this, who's okay with this video? | ||
| The tribal left. | ||
| So this is the point I was getting to, like, where I think things might be starting to break, maybe, is that somebody was attacking the alt-right, posted the picture, and said something like, right-wingers keep trying to post this to attack this poor child or something, and then I looked at the comments, and the comments were all like, uh, no, I kind of agree, that's messed up, like, what the, like, oh my, like, is this kid dancing? | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Like, people actually saw it, and they were like, what? | ||
| Like, this is messed up stuff. | ||
| Put it on TV, though. | ||
| I don't know which channels I want to call them out and get in trouble, but a bunch of channels are, like, praising this and cheering for it. | ||
| Yeah, dude, it's getting nuts out there, man. | ||
| My goodness. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| I just bring it up as the last bit of, like, it's one of the more extreme instances. | ||
| But we do have an interesting story that I want to get controversial for everybody. | ||
| So, I hope you all are ready. | ||
| This is from Slate. | ||
| Anti-LGBTQ firm tries to disqualify Judge because he won't let it misgender trans kids. | ||
| The story's not true. | ||
| It's not? | ||
| Technically, it's not true. | ||
| So, this is where things start getting really weird. | ||
| You read a little bit about, like, the trans athlete stuff, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, basically, they're saying if you're biologically male but identify as female, you can compete against women. | ||
| Right, which I don't agree with. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Here's what happened first. | ||
| At first they said, woman and man are words for gender, which is a social | ||
| construct. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So if you, if you identify as a woman, you can be a woman because it's just a social construct. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Male and female are biology. | ||
| That's what they said first, a few years ago. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So they were like, we get it, we get it, male means you were born with, you know, XY and female means XX, and then there's intersex and things in between. | ||
| Over time, they've been erasing that entirely and completely arguing that there's no such thing as biological sex. | ||
| And it's funny because I tell people this and they say, that's not true, no one's saying that. | ||
| Nicholas Matt a professor from Toronto on public access television in a debate with Jordan Peterson said several years ago It is not correct that there is a such thing as biological sex Normally, I like pulling it up to prove it to people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I actually saw that. | ||
| I've seen that. | ||
| So that's where we're at. | ||
| So here's the real story There's biological males that have taken no hormones, undergone no treatments, and they're racing against biological females. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| And they're winning every time. | ||
| What a surprise. | ||
| And shattering records. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So some young women sued, some young females sued. | ||
| In the case, the attorney was on a conference call with the judge, and the judge said, you cannot, my order, is that you cannot refer to these athletes, the males, as male. | ||
| You must call them transgender female. | ||
| Think about what that means in a court argument. | ||
| Your honor, I believe these females should not be allowed to compete against these females, because these females have a direct advantage based on their female anatomy. | ||
| Well, you'd have to say these transgender females against these females. | ||
| They're not transgender females, though. | ||
| But that's... oh, I thought that was the order. | ||
| The judge was wrong. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| So, a male who is transgender. | ||
| Right. | ||
| To be woman. | ||
| A transgender woman means you are not born a woman, right? | ||
| A male who is transgender. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Biologically male. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Who is transgender. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Is now a woman? | ||
| Wants to be a woman. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Or identifies as potentially as a woman. | ||
| I don't know what they identify as. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The judge doesn't seem to understand, but more importantly, whether he understands or not, I'm sure people will argue what transgender female really means anyway. | ||
| Of course they will. | ||
| So this is where, like, it gets really, really crazy. | ||
| Now, you have these articles pop up. | ||
| This is nuts. | ||
| Like, this article is an outright lie. | ||
| How do we actually deal with protecting the civil rights of individuals? | ||
| So these women are suing, basically saying it's discrimination based on their biological sex. | ||
| And the judge is saying, you can't say these words. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Pardon me. | ||
| I mean, I follow Ariella. | ||
| She was on the show. | ||
| And she's a well-known lesbian who has a lot of trans friends. | ||
| And I see her post things to communicate with others and ask questions to try to understand it. | ||
| And so I'm following it. | ||
| And there's a lot of trans people who don't agree with this. | ||
| They're like, yeah, it's not fair. | ||
| I'm trans, and I don't agree with this. | ||
| And it's like, oh, that's interesting to know that not everyone, even the trans people, think it's fair. | ||
| It just makes me think it's not even the trans people who are even fighting anymore. | ||
| It's media companies. | ||
| It's the Karens. | ||
| It's the people who are offended for others. | ||
| Like, oh no, that's offensive! | ||
| I should fight for it! | ||
| No, don't tell me that I'm not that. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I'm going to fight for it anyway. | ||
| Let me be offended on your behalf. | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| That's what really bothers me the most about these people. | ||
| That's what I think all of this stuff is. | ||
| When I was at Occupy Wall Street, having these white progressives tell me that I didn't understand racism, I'm like, bro, do I got to say it? | ||
| I'm going to say it. | ||
| My family's mixed race. | ||
| It's funny because people bring up, they're like, Tim says he's mixed race all the time. | ||
| I'm like, yeah, because you don't get it, man. | ||
| Like, when I'm trying to communicate effectively to a conservative, I don't have to say it at all. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| They literally don't. | ||
| It's not an issue for them. | ||
| But if I'm trying to make a video that will at least, in some way, speak to some of these progressives and liberals, I have to say it. | ||
| Otherwise, they're like, what do you know? | ||
| You're a white guy. | ||
| Not even that, like, half the time they call me Hispanic. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, they just, it's insane. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| It's insane how bigoted these people have become while claiming, like, you know, you know, you know, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect quote for this. | ||
| What is it, um... Be careful when fighting monsters, lest you become one. | ||
| For when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back. | ||
| That perfectly explains these people. | ||
| They started saying, racism is bad, we're gonna fight for it, and they became the overt racists. | ||
| And now it's like... But it's not just about race, it's about the bigotry, right? | ||
| They said, we're gonna fight for the rights of minority groups, and they're literally taking away the right of females to have a competitive sport. | ||
| It's like all the fight that women have fought for, for all these years, for everything. | ||
| Females. | ||
| Sorry, females. | ||
| Or whatever it is. | ||
| It's like, eh, well, if a guy feels like he can do it better than you, I'm going to be a woman now and win. | ||
| It's not even that. | ||
| It's not even that, right? | ||
| I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than that. | ||
| Yeah, so I'll be as fair as I can be. | ||
| I'm sure there are some guys who are like, I'll just say I'm a woman and I'll get to compete. | ||
| Hasn't that happened already? | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| Not proven, but it sure seems like it. | ||
| It's dangerous territory because then you're, you know, claiming somebody's... Maybe. | ||
| But the reason I'm careful on this is because we don't even need to go there. | ||
| If somebody is born male and then says, I want to compete against females, it's like, I get it, but that's not fair. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's not fair. | ||
| That is not equality. | ||
| It isn't. | ||
| That is inequality. | ||
| You are taking the rights away from them to have their specific division. | ||
| Now, here's where it gets interesting. | ||
| And this is where we get to go a little scientific. | ||
| Not really, it's anecdotal. | ||
| Oh, great. | ||
| So, the Olympics will allow... I believe the Olympics in some capacity are going to allow males to compete in the women's divisions. | ||
| So long as their testosterone levels are at a certain level. | ||
| Are, like, suppressed, right? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Pull up this story. | ||
| Pull up this story. | ||
| Lockdown spurs 11-year-old skateboarder to make history with first 1080 degree turn. | ||
| Guy Curie lands holy grail of skating while in lockdown. | ||
| Brazilian surpasses previous record first set by Tony Hawk, 11 years old! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Brutal. | |
| Tony Hawk was what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
30? | |
| 32? | ||
| He was 30 when he did that? | ||
| The 900? | ||
| Yeah, what's Tony Hawk's birthday? | ||
| Can you look up his birthday? | ||
| I think he was like 30 or 32 or something. | ||
| Maybe he was in his late 20s. | ||
| Yeah, I think he was I think he was like 30 or 30. Yeah, maybe maybe he was in his late 20s | ||
| Either way. Yeah, my point is is obvious. He was born in 68 Yeah, dude, he was like 32. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| He was like 31 or 32 when he landed. | ||
| His birthday's tomorrow. | ||
| Oh, happy birthday, Tony. | ||
| Happy birthday, Tony. | ||
| Tony Hawk's awesome. | ||
| I love watching his videos on Instagram. | ||
| He's amazing. | ||
| Yeah, he is really great. | ||
| So now we're going to get controversial because I'm sure we're going to make a bunch of people angry. | ||
| Here's my question. | ||
| The first 540... Okay, so for those that aren't familiar with skateboarding. | ||
| Each time the board rotates so that it's parallel is 180 degrees. | ||
| So half turn, full turn, 360. | ||
| One and a half is 540, two is 720. | ||
| You get it. | ||
| It's math. | ||
| Tony Hawk in, I think it was 1999? | ||
| Was it 1999? | ||
| I think so, yeah. | ||
| Maybe? | ||
| He landed the first 900 degree spin. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Meaning he went up, spun two and a half times, and came down, and it took him forever. | ||
| It was outside of the rules of the event. | ||
| He'd already gone over, but everyone's like, just do it! | ||
| Just do it, man! | ||
| And it was so powerful. | ||
| That he got all these crazy video game deals. | ||
| It sparked the Tony Hawk franchise. | ||
| He made tons of money. | ||
| Skateboarding immediately became like a multi-billion dollar industry. | ||
| He revived the whole sport and culture with one move. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The 900. | |
| And now... | ||
| Sunday, 10th of May, an 11-year-old boy just spun one more time than he did at like the height of his career. | ||
| A full 360 more. | ||
| Oh no, it was one half. | ||
| So, what this kid did was he went fakie, which means you go backwards, and he added a half turn. | ||
| So, it's incredible. | ||
| Guy Curie's Skateboarding, coming soon. | ||
| Are they? | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
| A video game series. | ||
| So, the first 1080 we ever saw was on the MegaRamp. | ||
| Yeah, it was Micho... Micho something? | ||
| No, no, I think it was... Was it Tom Schar? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tom? | |
| Uh, Mitchie Brusco? | ||
| Mitchie... Yeah, Mitchie Brusco, July 2011? | ||
| Was it? | ||
| Yeah, that's... The first 1080. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| So that was on a MegaRamp. | ||
| Oh, maybe he did the 1200. | ||
| No, no, Tom... What was it last year? | ||
| Was it Tom Schar did the 1260? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Oh my gosh, these numbers... Someone did a crazy... I think it was... I thought it was 1200 or something. | ||
| Like, they both did, like, crazy moves. | ||
| That's why I always mix them up. | ||
| Yeah, 1260. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it was a huge deal. | ||
| But that's the mega ramp. | ||
| That's a really, really large ramp where you get tons of speed. | ||
| This little kid on a standard halfpipe. | ||
| That's why it's record-breaking and it's breaking the new record. | ||
| It's huge. | ||
| Here's why I bring this up in this context. | ||
| The first female 540, I think, was like 2008 or 2009 or something. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The first male 540 was like the 70s. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| The disparity in skateboarding between men and women is the biggest for any sport I've ever seen. | ||
| I don't know why, don't ask me. | ||
| But women definitely have been improving dramatically, and there are some really, really good female skaters. | ||
| Well, no, you explained it. | ||
| We talked about this before, and you explained it perfectly. | ||
| The reason why is because there isn't as many women to compete against. | ||
| So when a woman goes out there, and they do a kickflip to 5-0 on a rail, It's like, oh wow, that's the best trick done, so they don't have to raise the bar too high to win. | ||
| So why would you? | ||
| But it's not just that. | ||
| Here's the question I'm bringing up now, where I'm going to get in trouble and we're going to get yelled at by YouTube. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Why is it that a prepubescent 11-year-old boy, no puberty, was able to pull off a record-breaking historical move in skateboarding history? | ||
| Where are the 11-year-old females doing the same thing? | ||
| It's because prenatal testosterone plays a huge role. | ||
| So my question is, if we're gonna allow trans athletes, transgender, you know, people born male, to compete in the women's division, no matter what is done, no matter if they get their testosterone levels down, they will have an advantage, period. 100%. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Like, dude, I've seen videos of six-year-old boys, like, doing crazy things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've competed. | ||
| I'm not gonna shout out some of these people, because some of them are pro now, so I'll leave them to their own, I'm not gonna get them dragged into this. | ||
| But I've competed against some people who are, like, much, much younger than me, who absolutely destroyed me at my prime. | ||
| Like, little kids, just so good, I'm like, this is nuts! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm an adult man, these kids are just wiping the floor with me in this contest. | ||
| But we don't see the same thing from, you know, eight-year-old girls or nine-year-old girls. | ||
| There have been some, like, pretty good moves from little kids, you know, younger females. | ||
| Well, I mean, I have to just bring in the whole societal impact of what a girl should be and what, like, girls' dolls, Barbies, like, the whole thing. | ||
| Guys, you know, a boy sees skateboarders and there's not that many female skateboarders to look up to. | ||
| Tony Hawk is huge, you know? | ||
| It's like you said it, like in 1999 skateboarding became a billion dollar industry, you know? | ||
| And that's a guy sport predominantly. | ||
| So, you know, growing up, you know, there's gonna be more 11 year old skateboarders making, you know, boy skateboarders making history, you know, over the girls. | ||
| So that does come into play, you know? | ||
| I think, yes. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I think... I mean, your point remains, though. | ||
| He did it before puberty, still broke a record. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| It's history, man. | ||
| This is such a big... I agree. | ||
| Like, when you look at Tony Hawk's career, landing the 900, how big it was. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This 11-year-old kid just landed the 1080 on a standard halfpipe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now he should do it in a contest. | ||
| I mean, these kids are skating their whole lives. | ||
| This kid definitely was born on a skateboard. | ||
| I'm willing to put money on it. | ||
| And he's Brazilian too. | ||
| So it's like, you know, Brazilians, for whatever reason, Brazilians are just like the best skateboarders. | ||
| They're really good at skateboarding. | ||
| Bob Bernquist. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| He's great. | ||
| And Leticia Buffoni, basically like the best female skateboarder in the world. | ||
| She's amazing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She's better than like 99% of dudes. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| But that's, yeah. | ||
| So that's like, Obviously, female skateboarders can be ridiculously good. | ||
| Lutetia is insanely good. | ||
| Yeah, she's really good. | ||
| But why, you know, I bring this up because I don't believe it's just society. | ||
| I think it plays a role. | ||
| I think it's fair. | ||
| Like, you know, a younger girl's not gonna see any, like, you know, super pop, like, well-known females breaking records or anything like that. | ||
| It probably has an impact. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But shouldn't it be at least, I don't know, if they're skating together, similar I don't know, man. | ||
| I really do feel like prenatal testosterone plays a huge role in this. | ||
| I agree with that. | ||
| Because I've talked to some scientists about it who have brought that up and said that's the case. | ||
| That even if you reduce your testosterone levels, you will still have an advantage due to prenatal testosterone levels. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So now that we're now that we're basically banned from YouTube forever because they're going to claim and, you know, hate speech or whatever nonsense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gosh. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't I don't know how we navigate this, man. | ||
| This is just us. | ||
| I mean, I have transgender friends. | ||
| I'm not trying to like. | ||
| Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Just by saying that. | ||
| What? | ||
| That you have friends. | ||
| Yeah, that's a huge no, no, bro. | ||
| You can't say that. | ||
| Friends? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And they're amazing people. | ||
| No, they agree with me. | ||
| You're not allowed to say that. | ||
| OK, that's like super offensive. | ||
| To who? | ||
| To the they. | ||
| To the left? | ||
| Whenever you're having an argument, if you say, well, I have friends who are X, they immediately snip that, take that, and attack you for it. | ||
| Well, the reason why is because I've actually had conversations with them. | ||
| So, like, I'm going off my own experiences of what they've told me. | ||
| So it's like... | ||
| You say the left and all these people, and it's like, who are they even to talk anyway? | ||
| Pitchfork mobs on Twitter? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So bring it on. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I know what I know. | ||
| I know who has told me their opinions on things, and it's silly. | ||
| It's weird that these companies are more reactive to the left's mobs than the right's mobs. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| The way I explained it before, it's simple. | ||
| We'll, you know, here's what I said, like... Because they're the ones that'll burn your building down. | ||
| Bingo. | ||
| Bingo. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| They're the scary mobs. | ||
| There will never be a moment where Ben Shapiro leads a pitchfork mob of, you know, black-clad, masculine people and he's like, listen, you can't have a debate in this building because it's offensive to me and my people, so we're gonna burn your building down. | ||
| Like, never gonna happen. | ||
| Never. | ||
| In fact, the worst case scenario was he'd show up and be like, I would like to formally request a debate with you on your stage. | ||
| And we'd be like, hey, that's awesome, come on over. | ||
| Sure, yeah, alright. | ||
| The left just shows up and screams re and throws a brick. | ||
| Yeah, you're never gonna see, like, I mean, maybe there will be some, you know, there are some conservative, because nobody's perfect, but it's lopsided. | ||
| There's very few people on the right that would ever try and pull something like that off. | ||
| The left just lets it happen. | ||
| They just re. | ||
| So here's what I'll say about the left, man. | ||
| Regular liberal people, are they going to stand up and defend our rights? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, they're doing their own thing. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| They're not paying attention. | ||
| Yeah, they're doing their own thing. | ||
| Conservatives are wired, man. | ||
| They're on, they're active, they're posting memes, they're making memes. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| The left is just, so here's what happens, the craze of the left are in control of the left. | ||
| Because the regular leftists just aren't paying attention. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's what we get, man. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| I wanted to bring this up because 1080, awesome. | ||
| It is awesome. | ||
| And the other story was ridiculous. | ||
| You wanna discredit all the people that are trying to yell that he didn't actually do it, and he reverted out at the last bit, which is total BS, by the way. | ||
| I've heard people argue that he did the 1080, but he did a quick, nah, get out of here. | ||
| He nailed it, dude. | ||
| That was legit. | ||
| I think he was past the 90 degree point. | ||
| Like, he might've like touched on one wheel. | ||
| His back wheels came down when he had like 80 degrees left. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I don't care, dude. | ||
| But he rolled it out, he rolled through. | ||
| He landed it perfectly, as far as I can tell. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, he landed it. | ||
| He took it low, like he was going for it, man. | ||
| So this kid's basically like 20 feet in the air. | ||
| And when you're on a half pipe, you wanna connect with the top | ||
| so you can transfer your energy back to the ground. | ||
| Otherwise you just, boom, into the ground. | ||
| He took it low. | ||
| He was like, I'm not gonna land it. | ||
| I'm not gonna put my feet down until I stick it. | ||
| I guess the advantage of being 11 is he weighs like 50 pounds. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| So it won't hurt if he whips it. | ||
| Which he probably did many times. | ||
| Lose your board and you just slowly float to the ground. | ||
| Just slide on your knees. | ||
| Yeah, when you're an adult. | ||
| Like Tony Hawk is like 6'3", probably weighs like 200 pounds. | ||
| He's a big dude, yeah. | ||
| He's lanky, that's why I say 200 ever. | ||
| But so when he slams, you know. | ||
| But they still, dude, he shreds, man. | ||
| Him and Andy Mac, they're constantly posting videos. | ||
| I love watching his Instagram, it's awesome. | ||
| Yeah, it's like I just follow skateboarding Instagram. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's all I follow. | |
| It's great. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| All right, man. | ||
| We went a little long on these segments, but we're going to jump over to the Super Chats. | ||
| What up, everybody? | ||
| Now, this is the point of the video where we start reading what you have to say. | ||
| So the first thing you have to do is hit the like button. | ||
| Hit the button. | ||
| because apparently YouTube cares. | ||
| Hit the like. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I already liked it. | ||
| And you can follow me at Timcast. | ||
| You can follow Adam at Adam Krigler right down there. | ||
| Send Adam story ideas. | ||
| You'll like post a tweet or something, right? | ||
| And like tell people to follow. | ||
| I'll do that right now. | ||
| I'm gonna do it at this very moment. | ||
| I'm gonna be like, we're on, we're on. | ||
| We are live. | ||
| Let me send one. | ||
| We are live. | ||
| We are live. | ||
| We use the stories. | ||
| And yeah man, jump in the super chat if you'd like. | ||
| We're gonna start reading it. | ||
| You know, maybe what we can start doing to make sure we can read the super chats is just | ||
| do all of like the general talking for the first hour or so and then just read super | ||
| Would you do that? | ||
| Because then we can try and get through more. | ||
| Yeah, I love getting through the superchats. | ||
| I read them all on Atomcast. | ||
| We have higher standards for superchats. | ||
| Well... I'm just kidding. | ||
| Someone said they disliked the video. | ||
| You are freezing. | ||
| Actually, that is totally fine. | ||
| That works, too. | ||
| I will accept a dislike. | ||
| It absolutely does hurt the channel, 100%. | ||
| This is a myth. | ||
| Is it? | ||
| For a long time, it has been a myth that dislikes are just as good as likes. | ||
| Not true at all. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| I've actually talked to Google about this, and they said... They gave me a wink, wink, nudge, nudge. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And guided me through basically telling me that when you dislike a video, you destroy it. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
100%. | |
| Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What does that mean, though? | |
| They can't give away their algorithmic secrets. | ||
| Oh, that makes sense. | ||
| So they never tell anyone what works and what doesn't. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And so I was talking to someone and I said, the common idea for most people is that likes and dislikes just mean engaged with. | ||
| So YouTube is equally as likely to recommend it if it's got likes or dislikes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And they went, don't get dislikes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's what they said to you? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I was like, really? | ||
| Cause that, is that bad for the video? | ||
| And they were like, say that. | ||
| If you want recommendations, likes really help. | ||
| And I'm like, ah. | ||
| And so I've actually, actually looked at data. | ||
| And track this. | ||
| The more dislikes, you can actually see the viewership drop in line with the amount of dislikes you start receiving. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So absolutely. | ||
| So make sure you like. | ||
| Please like. | ||
| Like the video and subscribe. | ||
| Hit the bell button. | ||
| If you really dislike it, by all means, do it. | ||
| You're free to do whatever you want. | ||
| I'm going to tell you what to do. | ||
| I'm just saying, like, people seem to think when you see a video you don't like on YouTube and you give it a thumbs down, it really, really hurts the video. | ||
| That's one of the reasons they disable it. | ||
| But you can still like or dislike it, even if they hide it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And so by hiding it, they're trying to discourage people from doing it, because when you see the dislike ratio, people pile on. | ||
| You should stop talking about it. | ||
| The more you talk about it, the dislikes are just going up. | ||
| Get some honorary people. | ||

Whatever. | |

| Cordo says, here's a story for you, Tim. | ||
| Apparently, smoking nicotine possibly prevents COVID-19. | ||
| Isn't that weird? | ||
| Look up China's and France's low infected numbers among active smokers. | ||
| I heard that. | ||
| So weird. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Because it, like, blocks something in the lungs or something like that. | ||
| Hmm, I don't know. | ||
| I'm not gonna recommend. | ||
| Well, don't the lungs like build up this huge like defense system if you're a smoker I was a smoker for a long time and when I quit I hacked up stuff for like a year straight Seriously, and it's probably what it was Yeah. | ||
| Secret medicinal effects, huh? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Drunk Shovel says, Elon Musk is genuinely the hero we need. | ||
| Dude, I think Elon Musk is awesome. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But he's not perfect. | ||
| No. | ||
| He's just an eccentric dude who, like... He's a human. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he does his thing. | ||
| I tweeted at him once. | ||
| He responded. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| It was a good day. | ||
| I asked Elon Musk why he hadn't made an Iron Man suit yet, and he said, building Starship. | ||
| And I was like, that is an acceptable response. | ||
| LaSalle says, welcome back guys. | ||
| Love the stuff today, Tim. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Kenrick says, did you all see the videos of the 1080 by a kid? | ||
| You know it! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Amazing. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Dude, I watched it. | ||
| I'm all excited. | ||
| I want to skate today. | ||
| I'm like, I'm ready to just throw down any trick on the ramp and just fall and get hurt, because we have a three-foot mini. | ||
| This kid's thrown out a 1080, dude. | ||
| The least I can do is like a kickflip 5-0 or something. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| You got to land it, dude. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| I used to be super good at ramps, but I'm too old now, man. | ||
| Darn rain. | ||
| Aren't I older than you? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| If I still skate, well it's because like over time I started skating just street. | ||
| No, you're definitely better on flat than I am. | ||
| So I can do basically every single flip trick possible and then some. | ||
| But mini ramp, I just lost my sea legs. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| I'm just gonna go for it. | ||
| I'm just gonna go nuts. | ||
| And then you'll see me filming off a broken arm or something. | ||
| Nah, I'll be fine. | ||
| Hopefully I'll be filming him when he breaks the arm. | ||
| Yeah, we'll film something. | ||
| Just kidding. | ||
| You're not going to break anything. | ||
| If we were filming, I'd go nuts. | ||
| This is wood, right? | ||
| I'm not even kidding. | ||
| I'm knocking it. | ||
| Turn the camera on, and I'll go for a switchblunt heel-out first try. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm not even kidding. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| I'll just try and stick it. | ||
| I'll hit the floor. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because you get the slam on cam. | ||
| Oh, trust me. | ||
| I know. | ||
| So for those that aren't familiar, when you're filming skateboarding, if you slam and you get it on film, It's pretty good. | ||
| It's like, you show your friends, like, bro, look at this slam, oh, my arm's all bloody. | ||
| And then if you land it, well, then you landed it, and then you show off for it, but check out how I landed it. | ||
| You didn't get on Hall of Meat. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Justin O'Toole says, so Anne Sikulis is now an internationally wanted fugitive by Interpol. | ||

| Look, as we get closer to November, we're going to see a ton of stuff declassified, in my opinion. | ||
| But we'll see, man. | ||
| Because I do not... Look, we live in a boring world. | ||
| Could you imagine if, like, a former Obama high-ranking official actually got arrested, and it was like a big scandal? | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| They're going to cut a sweetheart deal. | ||
| They're going to cut a deal. | ||
| They're going to be like, we'll give you a million dollars, and you can go live in your mansion, and then we're all going to walk away from it. | ||
| That's what they do at the top. | ||
| Nobody faces justice. | ||

| workers and shame California blinky bill says proposed bill HRC | ||
| Did you hear about this? | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are they thinking? | |
| What the heck? | ||
| The bill to provide funding for like COVID tracing is 6666. | ||
| Well, that's four sixes though. | ||
| It's one worse. | ||
| It's 33% worse than regular 666. | ||
| But come on, why would they do that? | ||
| This is why people think it's the end of the world. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| Oh, that's silly. | ||
| Contact tracing is gonna- I mean, what if it is literally just the 6,666th one? | ||
| It's just optics, man. | ||
| Just skip it. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| Just skip it or do a bill where you're like, propose an ice cream party. | ||
| Whatever you do, don't name the bill where you're gonna contact trace people 6666. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| I don't even care. | ||
| That's silly. | ||
| It is really silly, but I thought it was so weird. | ||
| The Dashing Rogue says, people forget that Tesla makes overtime mandatory for its workers. | ||
| When Tesla opens in Texas, watch for complaints about the hours and work conditions. | ||
| Well, Elon Musk got to fix that, because those are legitimate complaints. | ||
| I will call him up. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That's some of the stuff I was talking about. | ||
| My buddy that worked at Tesla, he would work there a ridiculous amount of hours. | ||
| I worked for American Eagle Airlines. | ||
| They also had mandatory overtime. | ||
| You could not leave. | ||
| If they could just tell you, nope. | ||
| You're staying. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Otherwise you're fired. | ||
| But you'd get overtime pay though, right? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Legally they have to do it. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| They call it mandatory. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And so you'd be working a night shift. | ||
| It'd be Friday night. | ||
| You're like, oh, I'm all excited because, you know, I get out at like 10, and then I'm going to go to my friend's place, get there by like 11, and then they go, nah, you're doing mandatory because a flight got delayed. | ||
| So it was kind of crazy because one flight could get delayed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it would be like, it's two hours late. | ||
| So you got to sit in that room and watch, you know, reruns of Friends for the next two hours. | ||
| You can't leave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Sucks. | ||
| People would bring an Xbox though to play video games, so. | ||
| Not so bad. | ||
| Not so bad. | ||
| Adrian says, do you think Obamagate articles are strategically released to prevent certain Democratic officials from replacing Biden? | ||
| Love the show. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I mean, it might actually encourage replacement if they implicate Biden in knowing these things too, so. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think they're coming out over time because there's two factors. | ||
| If Trump doesn't get reelected, then these people get away with everything. | ||
| And so the safest bet is to release as much as they can before the election, but also timing it strategically because it will help Trump get reelected. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think the Democrats like any of this. | ||
| They played the game, man. | ||
| But we'll see if anyone actually gets in trouble, I doubt it. | ||
| I think it'll be low-ranking officials. | ||
| I don't think it's gonna be anyone high up. | ||
| Kyle Miller says, Tim's beanie is a SCP. | ||
| Hello, I'm from the government and I am here to help. | ||
| He says, so much respect to Elon Musk. | ||
| Lots of love to you guys, thanks for being you. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Wolfspain says, when will black communities learn these democratic strongholds and media aren't their friends? | ||
| I'm tired of seeing my community destroyed by politicians who don't care about them. | ||
| It's frustrating. | ||
| Zuby brought this up because Zuby is British and he said he genuinely didn't understand. | ||
| And Nigerian. | ||
| Is he? | ||
| Yeah, he is. | ||
| He said he didn't understand why the black communities in the US vote for Democrats when the Democrats keep giving them bad policies that hurt their community. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Hey man, don't look at me because I don't know. | ||
| I'm not a part of that community so I can only give you an external opinion. | ||
| He does point out a lot of things. | ||
| People love ripping him apart for it too, but he's so right. | ||
| Didn't he write a song called Okay Dude? | ||
| He wrote a song about it too? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He did, yeah. | |
| To go with his t-shirts and his suspension. | ||
| We're so getting banned this episode! | ||
| That dude's funny though, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's red. | |
| He's a cool dude. | ||
| He's got some really great points on life. | ||
| But it's interesting because he's, you know, coming from an outside perspective looking at how Americans, you know, vote in the black community. | ||
| And, I mean, he's right. | ||
| You've got Candace Owens and she's much more... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I don't know much about her. | ||
| Her side of stuff. | ||
| So she just like, like, you know, it's aggressive, to say the least. | ||
| I don't know much about her. | ||
| Zoobie's inquisitive. | ||
| Her side of stuff. | ||
| You know, he'll be like, I'm genuinely curious, could someone help me understand why, you | ||
| know. | ||
| Yeah, that's what I like about him. | ||
| Candace Owens is like, these people have destroyed our community and they have no respect and | ||
| I will see them. | ||
| You know, she's much more aggressive on it. | ||
| But I defer to them, man. | ||
| I mean, you can't ignore their opinions. | ||
| What am I supposed to say? | ||
| Like, this one group of people is right, this other... No, I don't know. | ||
| I'll take their word for it. | ||
| Kyle Harman says, F-tyrants. | ||
| You know it. | ||
| Miguel, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Paul N says, Black Panthers are carrying rifles at Ahmaud Arbery events, and the media, except Daily Mail, is not reporting. | ||
| But I mean, who cares? | ||
| This is the crazy thing to me. | ||
| Like, I went to an event in Texas, and there were a bunch of white dudes with body armor and, like, rifles. | ||
| And they're holding them and they're standing around, and then a dude, a black dude walks up with a shirt that said, Black Guns Matter, and he walked up and he shook all their hands, and they were hanging out. | ||
| And I'm like, There's no problems here, man. | ||
| The 2A people aren't freaking out that the Black Panthers showed up. | ||
| The Black Panthers showed up in Virginia to defend the Second Amendment, and they were like, thank you for being here. | ||
| The media is lying about who these people are. | ||
| They want you to think it's a bunch of racists when it's not. | ||
| It's liberty. | ||
| So it's like, when the Black Panthers show up to march with weapons, the people I know who are about Second Amendment are like, cool. | ||
| Yeah, right on. | ||
| Glad people are doing it. | ||
| Yeah, I agree. | ||
| Talbot says, truckers were affected by the gig bill too. | ||
| They were fixing the pipelines as the shutdown happened. | ||
| Surprised it went as well as it did. | ||
|

|
Wow. | |
| Spencer, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| A Raffle says, Hey Tim and cast, thanks for all you do. Check out recent vids, | ||
| the newest two are well... | ||
| Oh, my recent vids. Yeah, well I'll take a look. Excuse me. | ||
| Big LC says, how do you think things would be playing out if the DNC rigged the primary for | ||
| Buttigieg instead of Biden? If they did, I would be sitting here arguing about how I think Buttigieg | ||
| is slightly, you know, he's not strong enough to beat Trump, but Buttigieg is a legitimate candidate. | ||
| Like... More than Biden was. | ||
| What is Biden? | ||
| You know what it is? | ||
| Biden is like the last vestige of the Obama administration. | ||
| They need him in for whatever they're like to maintain their power. | ||
| Like Hillary was Obama. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| You just made me realize that what we think of Biden is like the remnants of the left that still thinks they have power. | ||
| The media still thinks the left is cool. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Biden, the Obama era, it's like, no, it's over. | ||
| It's an old man who can't think straight. | ||
| It's an old man who can't think straight. | ||
| And meanwhile, we're over here laughing at memes. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And we're playing video games and laughing at memes, man. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| They don't get it. They lost. They lost this war. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Nodar says, Heard you say you were thinking about getting a Flow Hive. | ||
| Be careful, some plants bees use produce honey that is almost solid and won't flow, thus making it almost impossible to remove without damage. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Well, we can't actually get it where we live anyway. | ||
| We're not zoned for any of that stuff. | ||
| We can't even have chickens. | ||
| Nonsense. | ||
| Now that's BS. | ||
| We really can't have a flow hive though? | ||
| No. | ||
| I wonder if that, whatever the pollen they get, if that's like all across the country or if it's in a certain area that that pollen is. | ||
| Interesting though. | ||
| We can't even have chickens, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, what's up with, you get a little chicken, you put them in your yard, man, and it poops out eggs and you eat them up. | ||
| Can't do it. | ||
| Because people are dirty. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I guess because the chickens can jump over fences and like get away or something. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| I don't know what the reason is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Why chicken? | ||
| Like the roosters, I get, you know, people waking up and like, Hey, get out of here or goats and stuff. | ||
| I get, but chickens. | ||
| Now the bees too. | ||
| It's like, I think the bees might be like a, um, local safeties, like concerns or something. | ||
| I mean, we really need to save the bees that people are out killing bees now because they're so afraid of murder, the murder hornets or something. | ||
| Somebody went and burned a bunch of hives down. | ||
| It's like, What? | ||
| Bees are essential for, like, one out of three bites of food. | ||
| People don't get that bees are chill. | ||
| Why are you killing bees? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| They're super chill. | ||
| Bees are not wasps. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, if you get too close to a bee, they don't do anything. | ||
| They'll fly away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They'll land on you and be like, what are you all about? | ||
| And yeah, bees are chill. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's wasps and yellow jackets and people confuse them and hornets. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| Kyle Miller says, Tim, when are you going to start selling a Tim Pool body pillow? | ||
| Well, we've got to do beanies. | ||
| I was thinking about doing skateboards. | ||
| It's pretty far down the list. | ||
| It'd be cool to have our own skateboards, because then I never have to worry about buying them if I just get used to the same boards. | ||
| Got to find a good company that makes boards, though, because, you know, I really like Deluxe, you know, Real and Antihero. | ||
| I can picture this body pillow though just like the top half is like a big beanie and then like some you know your face. | ||
| Oh the pillow itself could be the top like it could be like you know yeah like you know beanie material yeah yeah yeah and then we'll have to replicate that shirt and no legs though you don't have any no it's gotta be it's gonna be an anime version of me right oh not as fun well it'll be funny and then one for you as well Sure. | ||
| We'll do skateboards, too. | ||
| David says, I saw an article about a bill that Dems were pushing not too long ago to abolish right-to-work states. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| That means you have to join the unions, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| Wolfsbane says, sorry Tim, I forgot to mention that my first Super Chat is about the mob mentality and manipulation around Ahmed Arbery. | ||
| It's like they don't realize it will just hurt them in the end. | ||
| This is what I don't get about, like, the people I know who are posting about Ahmed Arbery. | ||
| I just want to ask them, like, are you tired of being wrong? | ||
| You were wrong about Covington. | ||
| You were wrong about Justice Smollett. | ||
| There were a ton of other instances where you were wrong. | ||
| Like, hands up, don't shoot, during, like, Michael Brown stuff. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Federal review, apparently. | ||
| That's what happened, right? | ||
| They reviewed the evidence and said he didn't have his hands up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| No, they didn't. | ||
| I think it was on the autopsy. | ||
| Yeah, and that came out a few months ago. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I mean, a few months after the story or whatever. | ||
| So, all these narratives. | ||
| And now they're like, he was just jogging. | ||
| It's like, bro, dude wasn't jogging in the middle of the night three times. | ||
| Yeah, in construction sites. | ||
| I used to work construction. | ||
| No one does that. | ||
| They're in there stealing copper or tools, trying to find anything. | ||
| So why are all these conservatives coming out and being like, I always go to construction sites? | ||
| That doesn't make any sense. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I'm like, what? | ||
| Does that make it okay though? | ||
| No, they lock construction sites down. | ||
| You can't get in there. | ||
| If you can get in there, that means you found a way in there and you shouldn't be in there. | ||
| The garage door was open. | ||
| Okay, so why were you in there? | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| What's the reason? | ||
| Just checking out the construction, man. | ||
| You know, it's fun to look at a new build. | ||
| That's what people are saying. | ||
| That's why they leave little windows. | ||
| I took my family. | ||
| No, I'm just kidding. | ||
| Some people tweeted, like, I took my family to a new build just the other day. | ||
| I'm like, what? | ||
| Dude, where I grew up, you get smacked in the teeth. | ||
| Somebody sees you walking around on their property. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| If a company has a union, you don't have to join, and you get the same benefits as the union member. | ||

| Why would you want to join the union? | ||
| You'd just have to pay more money. | ||
| Garrett, don't ask me. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Because when they go on strike, you lose your job? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't get it. | ||

| I'd be like, nah, then what? | ||
| Bomchu says, my sister lost her job because Governor Prickster made it illegal | ||
| to run any type of non-union teaching facility. | ||
| This forced her daycare to join a union which wanted over four years of back dues amounting to over... What is that? | ||
| $50,000? | ||
| $500,000! | ||
| Four years of back dues? | ||
| How is that legal? | ||
| What? | ||
| That doesn't even make sense. | ||
| Not even. | ||
| Bone says our rights are inalienable, not government given. | ||
| The Constitution isn't just for sunny days. | ||
| President Trump has lost my confidence and perhaps a vote. | ||
| But why though? | ||
| He's not the one taking it away. | ||
| He's the one advocating for the rules to be restored. | ||
| Bill Barr is the one who's arguing the Constitution isn't suspended. | ||
| Connor says lockdowns, drones, armed protesters, insane media, even more polarization. | ||
| Where do we go from here? | ||
| Boogaloo, baby! | ||
| Where else do we go? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what else to do. | ||
| You know, I was thinking one of the results we might not expect is actually complete demoralization. | ||
| So what happens is that as things get crazier and crazier, people just stop caring completely. | ||
| So like, a boogaloo requires people to fight. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And to have that energy and be like, and fall to their knees and yell, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| But what happens if people feel defeated? | ||
| And then just go, I'm over this. | ||
| You guys want to go get pizza? | ||
| I don't think that's going to be a uniform feeling, though. | ||
| Giving up? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If everybody just gave up, then everything goes back to normal. | ||
| But you're right. | ||
| What's normal? | ||
| These anti-Trump people are foaming at the mouth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's nuts, man. | ||
| They really are. | ||
| What is wrong with these people, dude? | ||
| Rob, thanks for coming to Member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Charles says, Tim, you don't want someone chained to your leg. | ||
| Don't work as an oarsman on a Roman galley. | ||
| I will keep that in mind. | ||
| Good advice. | ||
| Eric says, people seem to think lockdowns are a cure. | ||
| If we get the number low enough, it will disappear. | ||
| Lockdowns are a precaution, and a closed economy may kill more over a longer period of time than the virus. | ||
| And you know what people don't realize? | ||
| The economic damage comes slowly. | ||
| So everything we're seeing now is a delayed response. | ||
| Even if we reopened right now, the next few months, it's already coming, bro. | ||
| Seth Baldwin says, apparently there were 2.9 million background checks for freedom launchers in April. | ||
| Freedom launchers? | ||
| Freedom launchers. | ||
| I like the launchers. | ||
| Is that what they're called? | ||
| Enough to arm half the population of Denmark. | ||
| Very nice. | ||
| Sneaky Sobey says, I was reminded of the existence of Tim Allen's Home Improvement this weekend, and the show within the show of Tool Time. | ||
| If you ever decide to change the name of your podcast, think Pool Time would be fairly fitting. | ||
| But I think that would be more of like a silly, fun hangout thing with some skateboarding. | ||
| Pool Time. | ||
| We could do that. | ||
| Bone says these tyrannical governors went full fascist with President Trump turning a blind eye. | ||
| The solution was simple. No shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service. | ||
| But Trump doesn't have that power. | ||
| Tenth Amendment. The states are going to do it and Trump can't stop them. | ||
| Waterdance says Tim the rogue, Adam the bard, Lydia the cleric. | ||
| I do play Rogue 100%. | ||
| Played World of Warcraft. | ||
| The brief D&D we did, I played Rogue. | ||
| What do you play in D&D? | ||
| Probably more of like a Ranger kind of type, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I go for Rogue. | ||

| Jeremy says, I'm on a Union eboard, and I don't get a damn cent. | ||
| You don't see old open shop guys, eats them up. | ||
| I get the chained to you idea, but baddies reps will proceed them, and they run themselves off. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Alargasoda says, I hate you Tim, love Richard. | ||
| But thank you for the $10. | ||
| Lars and Rune, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| John says, re-prisoners. | ||
| If they tried their best to get COVID, I wonder what percentage caught the CV by trying. | ||
| Would be interesting data set. | ||
| It's actually a good question. | ||
| We can look at how many actually tried and how many actually got it, and then see, like, deliberate infection rate. | ||
| But in that article, it was, they, they tried to infect each other. | ||
| Infected each other. | ||
| No one died. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| No one got released. | ||
| No one got released. | ||
| So they just, they were like, man, we're just, we have the flu now. | ||
| We're sick basically, just sick for a while. | ||
| King Canuck says, you aren't real skate punk unless you can play the Goldfinger discography. | ||
| And the only real punk is my specific punk. | ||
| Look how anti-conformist I am. | ||

| That's hipster. | ||

but not by hanging new hampshire they do have just as a secondary form of death penalty new | |

|

|
1939. | |
| 1939, yeah, okay. | ||
| Yep, now I know all about this. | ||
| Thanks guys. | ||
| Gordy says, I live in El Paso and have a friend that worked as a prison guard a while back. | ||
| Maximum Casey says, I wanted to ask this question to all three of you. | ||
| What do you think about the difference between authoritarianism and totalitarianism and how | ||
| do you think those two apply in current events? | ||
| Well personally I think those are not on the same spectrum. | ||
| So, totalitarianism is authoritarianism. | ||
| But totalitarianism is like a more specific form of government where the government has total control over literally everything. | ||
| It is a form of authoritarianism. | ||
| It is peak, absolute authoritarianism. | ||
| But it doesn't say anything to the economic system. | ||
| So you can have a far-right authoritarian system that, you know, basically beats you down, forces people to do things, has strict laws, but you're allowed to trade within certain confines. | ||
| And then you can have, like, you know, far-left communism, where you get fed what you get fed, and there's a command economy controlling everything. | ||
| I don't know if you guys have thoughts on that. | ||
| Leave it to you. | ||
| Zynmart says Utah used a firing squad a few years ago. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, some states did have firing squad. | ||
| Firing squad? | ||
| What? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Brutal! | |
| Yeah, it's pretty metal. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| I gotta be honest. | ||
| It's so metal. | ||
| I think lethal injection might be worse, in my opinion. | ||
| Why? | ||
| You just go to sleep. | ||
| No, it's extremely painful. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, it's extremely painful. | ||
| Who's here to tell us this? | ||
| We know the chemicals cause excruciating pain, but they paralyze you beforehand for, you know, the people executing you so you don't scream and shriek. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yikes. | |
| So they issue a paralytic, and then it's an excruciatingly painful chemical death. | ||
| But it's not just that. | ||
| You know, I gotta be honest. | ||
| I completely oppose the death penalty in all its forms. | ||
| I think just walk me to the beach, I'll go in the ocean and start swimming. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Just swim that way. | ||
| It depends. | ||
| What have you done? | ||
| I will take my chances swimming in the ocean, then you locking me in a room and killing me. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It depends what I guess. | ||
| I mean, some people probably like I'll just end it now. | ||
| Now, man, what if you like to swim out and then you'll probably die. | ||
| But at least by my side, by drowning, probably. | ||
| That doesn't sound good. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| But it's like, in the .001% chance you have of somehow surviving in some way. | ||
| You can befriend like a sea turtle and he'll help you. | ||
| In all likelihood, you're dead. | ||
| So you have guaranteed death in the death chamber with a state executioner. | ||
| Or you can go in the ocean and try swimming. | ||
| I'll go for the ocean, man. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Just go for it. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| I mean, being put up against a wall and shot is more instant then, wouldn't it be? | ||
| Yeah, but it's the anticipation, right? | ||
| I'll tell you what. | ||
| The anticipation? | ||
| Here's what I would prefer. | ||
| I'd prefer not to know that I was sentenced to death and then just have like a surprise and have no idea it happened. | ||
| Like, let me go to bed one night, and have them tell me, don't worry, you're not being sent to death. | ||
| They could just gas your room. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just suck the air out or something, or... Or suck the air out, oh, so you just will fall asleep. | ||
| Just fall asleep, and then carbon monoxide. | ||
| And then you just don't wake up. | ||
| Yeah, why don't we do that? | ||
| You just fall asleep and you don't wake up. | ||
| Yeah, just put him in a sealed room. | ||
| Go to sleep. | ||
| But not even tell him. | ||
| Just like... I don't believe the death penalty. | ||
| I think it's wrong. | ||
| I don't think anyone deserves to die. | ||
| It's a really, really tough moral, ethical situation. | ||
| Someone just said, death by covfefe. | ||
| Covfefe? | ||
| Well, like drinking too much coffee? | ||
| I appreciate that comment. | ||
| Mark says, Dallas and South Texas are very liberal compared to the rest of the state. | ||
| It's been shocking to see how many Texans support these shutdowns. | ||
| People are nuts, man. | ||
| Yeah, it's weird. | ||
| TheJackoLantern says, make Texas great again by keeping out the commies. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| This is what I don't get. | ||
| Just let them lock it all down. | ||
| Just let them do it. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Fine, whatever. | ||
| Figure out how you gotta survive. | ||
| But when they say, we must lock down, say, okay. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Who do you think's gonna survive in a total apocalyptic scenario? | ||
| The urban liberals, who are demanding money from the government, or the conservatives, who live in semi-rural areas, who believe in personal responsibility. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's like, dude, if you want to sink the boat you're on, okay, fine, because I know how to swim and you don't. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I'm not really advocating for that, but what are these, like, they don't seem to understand, like, how much their, dude, New York would be a nightmare. | ||
| God, I'm so glad I don't, I'm not there anymore. | ||
| People will be drinking each other's blood. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Exciting. | ||
| Yeah, I'm only half kidding too. | ||
| Very metal. | ||
| Dave, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Mark Martina says, Tim, have MSNBC or CNN ever asked you to guest appear for them? | ||
| If they haven't, and they did, would you show up? | ||
| Which host would you prefer to engage in a debate? | ||
| I don't like debates at all. | ||
| I don't debate anybody. | ||
| I love a discussion. | ||
| Debates are weird. | ||
| Debate is like this premise where you think you are right and you're battling to prove you're right or something. | ||
| I don't understand what the point is. | ||
| I'll have a discussion with somebody because there's probably a lot of things I don't know and we'll talk about it. | ||
| That's about it. | ||
| And if I end up having things that I think are wrong, well, the discussion is so that | ||
| we both can improve our understanding. | ||
| But I have been on MSNBC one time after I got attacked by anti-capitalists, essentially, | ||
| you know, our equivalent of Antifa back in 2011. | ||
| They had me on a talk about it. | ||
| That was a while ago. | ||
| And I don't think I have been on MSNBC or CNN since. | ||
| I don't think I've ever been on CNN. | ||
| I've been on Fox News several times. | ||
| It's really funny too. | ||
| Because when I worked for Fusion, which is like super far left, I got invited onto Fox News, and they told me to go do it, and I was like, okay. | ||
| And then a bunch of people at the company got mad at me, and I was like, but they told me to do this! | ||
| What are you mad at me for? | ||
| Yeah, but I would go on MSNBC or CNN, and it wouldn't be a debate. | ||
| I don't care who I talk to. | ||
| I'll talk to anybody, you know. | ||
| It'll be interesting. | ||
| It'll never happen, though, because they want to control the narrative. | ||
| Gary says, Dallas is heavily liberal, and the governor has been against it. | ||
| California has released thousands. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| Andrew says, Arbery dividing people as well. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Thank you, Sparka. | ||
| SuperBamBam says, Tim, why you keep touching yourself? | ||
| You've tugged on your shirt about 40 times according to chat at this time. | ||
| It's because my shirt keeps drooping. | ||
| It's over a hundred and I think 120 now. | ||
| My shirt droops and so I straighten it. | ||
| Fix it. | ||
| Have you noticed my neck starts going down and so I go like that. | ||
| No. | ||
| And then put it back up. | ||
| No one has. | ||
| I think it bothers Tim. | ||
| Because they don't know. | ||
| Now they know. | ||
| You should fix your shirt. | ||
| Fred Fredfurter says, would you moderate a political debate at any level for the 2020 election? | ||
| If so, would you wear an all-black suit and tie with a fancy beanie? | ||
| I would not moderate a political debate at any level. | ||
| I don't like debates. | ||
| You know, I could have a discussion with somebody. | ||
| But the second question though? | ||
| Would I wear an all black suit? | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| But the fancy beanie though. | ||
| I got invited to the Clinton- I want to see the fancy beanie. | ||
| I got invited to a Clinton Foundation Gala and this was I think in like, maybe, I can't remember what year it was. | ||
| 2013 or 2014. | ||
| And I said, uh, only if I can wear my normal clothes. | ||
| And they said it's a black tie affair. | ||
| I said, too bad. | ||
| And I didn't do it. | ||
| Don't care. | ||
| The Last Chicken Nugget says, I can't wait for the 20, 30 years from now when a document titled, The New American Civil War magically comes to light. | ||
| Yeah, interesting. | ||
| The Buzz says, Sidney Powell and Tim Fitton deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom. | ||
| John Burkett says, Tim, shirt tug game on point. | ||
| But see, the problem is, no one's ever pointed out the shirt tug thing before, and I've been wearing this shirt for like, what, two years now? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I did it the night before you guys got back. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I pointed it out. | ||
| This is your fault. | ||
| It's my fault. | ||
| I don't mind at all. | ||
| It becomes a thing now. | ||
| Everyone's loving it. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Ceylon Blue says, did you see the tweets about people in SC that were in a subway with rocket launchers? | ||
| Thread had homophobic photo edits on the pics. | ||
| X2 double standards. | ||
| Yeah, I've seen some of the rocket launcher pics. | ||
| Ultimately, if someone's acting legally, I don't know what the problem is. | ||
| Is it loaded, though? | ||
| I think one of the problems, though, is there's absolutely a double standard. | ||
| Well, I think, anecdotally, there's a bunch of videos where you can see black people carrying guns and getting stopped, and it's nuts. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's why I'm like, dude, we need more, like, the NRA should be 100% on top of this. | ||
| Yeah, I agree. | ||
| I don't think they care. | ||
| I think it's tribal, though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| There's a video where a black dude's walking around with a rifle, and a bunch of SUVs swarm him, and like, get on the ground! | ||
| Get on the ground! | ||
| I think I've seen this video. | ||
| And they're pointing at him, and he lays down to take his gun away. | ||
| And then there are videos where there's, like, two guys that walk around with guns, and the police are like, just want to make sure they're not automatic. | ||
| All right, you're good. | ||
| Good to go. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Now, that could be selective, you know, filming, right? | ||
| True. | ||
| Because there was a video I saw of a white guy with, uh, it was legally a pistol, but it was modified, so as far as, like, the average person could tell from far away, it looked like a rifle. | ||
| Yeah, oh, okay. | ||
| But it was legally a pistol, and so the cops came and stopped him and detained him, and, like, it was a huge issue. | ||
| So, you know, I don't know what happens. | ||
| Let's see what we got. | ||
| Charles says, when it comes to who will win in November, Biden or Trump, I put my money on Vegas. | ||
| Totally agree. | ||
| I'm shocked he hasn't ripped it yet. | ||
| Gotta get it all out! | ||
| You know when you like, wind up a toy? | ||
| Or like, bring it back? | ||
| That's what he does. | ||
| Tugs per hour. | ||
| Oh, more than that. | ||
| You have no idea. | ||
| Because when the camera's not on, I'm going like this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's fun. | |
| Ah! | ||
| I'm shocked he hasn't ripped it yet. | ||
| Gotta get it all out. | ||
| Now, you know when you like wind up a toy or like bring it back? | ||
| That's what he does every so often. | ||
| He needs to reset. | ||
| I actually have this big glass chamber and I go inside and I have to get all the tugs out, | ||
| but it generates a ton of energy, which powers the studio. | ||
| It's so cost-effective. | ||
| Also powers the beanie. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Yeah, it's the best. | ||
| Thank you, Tim. | ||
| Ferocious Cake says, whoa, you guys see this? | ||
| U of A professor arrested on charges of ties to China. | ||
| I mean, that happens a lot. | ||
| Wouldn't be the first. | ||
| Yeah, not the first. | ||
| Mark says, see the White House press conference, I think about five different reporters asked the same question about tests, despite getting the same answers. | ||
| It's no wonder Trump walked off. | ||
| It's pointless talking to them. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| And that woman, what's her face from CNN, was arguing with Trump. | ||
| Trump's like, not you, her. | ||
| And she goes, but I have questions. | ||
| No, her. | ||
| But I have questions. | ||
| Okay, I'm out. | ||
| And then he just like walks off. | ||
| But she had questions, Tim. | ||
| Dude, I'd throw them out. | ||
| I'd be like, if you say one more word, can you escort them out? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I guess he can't do that. | ||
| He got sued. | ||
| Really? | ||
| When he took away Jim Acosta's press pass. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
| So, he did the right thing. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| He's just like, thank you everybody, and he walks away. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| It's like, you're not going to listen to me? | ||
| You're going to argue with me? | ||
| I'm out of here. | ||
| They argue, we shouldn't show his press events because he's lying. | ||
| Then they demanded press events. | ||
| Because you stopped them. | ||
| Then he brings them back and they say, oh, we can't show this. | ||
| He's lying. | ||
| It's like, shut up. | ||
| You people are awful. | ||
| I can't stand these people. | ||
| Nicholas says, the Dems running Biden is proof that within the next 25 years, the party will attempt to run an artificial AI candidate. | ||
| Black Mirror is here. | ||
| I mean, what if they use CGI Joe Biden to debate? | ||
| Wouldn't it be funny if like Joe Biden standing on stage and he's not, he's like not really moving. | ||
| And then he moves like this. | ||
| Well, Trump, I personally disagree. | ||
| That'd be great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd be like, yes! | |
| Freaky. | ||
| Like, not even good animatronics, like Chuck E. Cheese level, like 30-year-old banjo-playing Chuck E. Cheese Joe Biden. | ||
| Matthew says, Simp is now banned on Twitch. | ||
| Wait, the word? | ||
| Is it really? | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| ML says, it says a lot about conservative media that my best talking points come from a guy as left as Tim. | ||
| You do really do a great service, brother in liberty. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| NotEisenbear says, can you tug your shirt please? | ||
| Nah, get out of here. | ||
| LR Design Studios, Lori Sullivan says, the left is becoming irrelevant as more people realize the conversation is on the right and the left only shames and screeches. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Conversations. | ||
| The Grizzly says, did you guys get the new Ikora set in Magic? | ||
| I heard they had Godzilla cards in that set. | ||
| What kinds of decks would you build? | ||
| And who are your favorite Godzilla monsters if you watched the movies? | ||
| I haven't, have you? | ||
| I haven't played Ikora yet. | ||
| I actually just re-downloaded Arena on my computer. | ||
| And I was just checking it out. | ||
| And Ghidorah? | ||
| Is that the Hydra? | ||
| Like the multi-headed dragon? | ||
| No idea. | ||
| I think it's... | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| That's my favorite Godzilla monster. | ||
| The multi-headed one. | ||
| The multi-headed dinosaur. | ||
| Sweet. | ||
| Hydra dragon thing or what? | ||
| Yeah, I forget the name of it though. | ||
| But yeah, he's cool. | ||
| Let's see, let's see. | ||
| Cranberry says, our goal, the right, is liberty and tolerance. | ||
| So if you can tolerate us and not call us, including liberals and conservatives, evil, God willing. | ||
| Nicholas says, Tim, Jesus, Lydia, do you think that in the near future with devices like Neuralink, politics will get more or less divided? | ||
| I think less divided. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think a lot of people are more similar than they let on or want to believe. | ||
| It's not that. | ||
| Once they create, there's two things that will change the world. | ||
| Have you seen Altered Carbon? | ||
| Oh, Jidra. Yeah. Gidora is the name. Sorry. I was, I was, people in chat were, | ||
| have you, have you seen Altered Carbon? I have. Yeah. Where they have the cortical | ||
| stack that stores their consciousness. Yeah. All of a sudden your body is irrelevant. | ||
| Yeah. It's just a sleeve. And you can slip in and out of, and, but so that also plays into the other | ||
| idea of virtual worlds. So in Altered Carbon, they have like, they can go into virtual and | ||
| there's constructs they can be in. Right. But dude, I'll tell you what, as soon as we have neural link, | ||
| which can transmit virtual reality into your brain. So your brain experience experiences Skyrim. | ||
| Politics will be over because people will literally be like, bro, bro, I don't care. | ||
| Just make sure there's food on my table so I can go back to Skyrim. | ||
| I don't agree with that. | ||
| People are going to want to live in other worlds, man. | ||
| Not everybody. | ||
| There's gonna be some people that will forever deny Neuralink and will fight it. | ||
| In 70 years? | ||
| You're right. | ||
| In 70 years, yeah, maybe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There'll be an older generation like, I'm not getting that thing put in my brain! | |
| And then their kids are born. | ||
| There might always be that faction though. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| Luddites. | ||
| They'll exist. | ||
| But there's gonna be people who, you know, in a hundred, two hundred years, it'll be a small minority that doesn't. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, even in Altered Carbon, they have the Neo-Catholic. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That, like, refuse to be re-loaded into new bodies. | ||
| For those that aren't familiar with the show, it's basically like, if you die, there's a device in your neck that stores your consciousness, and they can transfer it to a new body. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that will change a whole lot of our perception about, you know, race and stuff like that. | ||
| Gender, but it's not it's not so much about the changing bodies that I'm bringing up. | ||
| It's the virtual reality like dude if People are gonna want to live in the in the world where they can control things and be happy and it's like yeah But more about the politics side of it though It's because we're gonna become more connected and and that's really what the question is is whether or not it's gonna be more or less divided and I think it's gonna be less because we're gonna be connected on such a Like, we're already more connected in this, like, the internet right now. | ||
| We're connected to a bunch of people who are connected to a bunch of people. | ||
| But, I think, I would say yes, the problem is the interference from the big companies, the censorship, has created, has made the divide a hundred times worse. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Absolutely, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, if they created a space... But will they have the same amount of power, though? | |
| It's like, alright, it's time to vote. | ||
| You just close your eyes and, you know, you just tell your Neuralink who you're voting for. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, you know... It'll get really, really, really bad. | |
| Really bad. | ||
| Because you'll have a bunch of people now be like, oh, I'm gonna vote, just whatever, Democrat. | ||
| Because they don't know. | ||
| They don't know or care. | ||
| People aren't going to care. | ||
| They're going to think Skyrim. | ||
| Unless, to vote, you actually have to watch the video in your head. | ||
| Nah. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| What video? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm just coming up with something. | ||
| If everyone, in my opinion, if every single person in the country voted, you'd have a whole bunch of people who don't know, don't care, and don't want to vote voting. | ||
| But do you think that they would be the majority? | ||
| That whoever they voted for would be the person who got the power then? | ||
| Or the people who pay attention are the majority, that they would actually make the decision? | ||
| Who do you think, in that sense? | ||
| The people who don't care, that don't know... Will always win. | ||
| Will always win. | ||
| Always win. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because the politician's gonna say, in order to win, I just need to get all these people who don't care. | ||
| You vote for me, and I'll give you a thousand bucks! | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They're gonna be like, eh, whatever. | ||
| But they actually have to care a little bit to even listen to that person say that. | ||
| So the point is, the guy will just run ads only saying, I'll give you a thousand bucks. | ||
| Over and over and over again, everywhere. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And so that way they'll be like, I don't know this other guy, I don't know what he's all about. | ||
| Something about, you know, immigration. | ||
| The other guy's gonna give me money, so I'll vote for him. | ||
| Kind of like Andrew Yang, to be honest. | ||
| Although Andrew Yang had a whole lot of really great policies. | ||
| Perhaps that's what he was trying for, I don't know. | ||
| But what ends up happening is you'll end up with emotional voters versus logical voters. | ||
| But you've said it before. | ||
| People will walk in and be like, man, I don't know, whatever. | ||
| And that's what they're going to end up doing. | ||
| They're not going to be out there looking at ads, watching TV, looking at the ads. | ||
| No. | ||
| Their friends are going to be like, you're voting for a Democrat. | ||
| And they'll go, oh yeah, sure. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Oh, you're voting for a Republican? | ||
| okay. But no, but urban centers with dense populations like the popular vote, it's why | ||
| we have the Electoral College. Okay. So I guess if we maintain an Electoral College, | ||
| that could have a serious impact on how the vote, you know, works. Okay. But if it were, | ||
| so I guess, yeah, I guess that's what it really comes down to. For the most part, though, | ||
| I think Republicans tend to be engaged, at least what we're seeing right now. Okay. The right is | ||
| people who are debating and challenging and things like that. And the left is a bunch of emotional | ||
| people who aren't paying attention. Like, dude, I got to be honest. Okay. If I guarantee you 90% | ||
| of my friends who do vote Democrat, if I actually sat down with them for 10 minutes, they wouldn't. | ||
| And I'd be like, I'm not. | ||
| And that's what happened to me. | ||
| But for real. | ||
| So think about the millions of Democrat voters who have no idea what's going on and just go Democrat. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| And then what do they do for the past three years? | ||
| Scandal, scandal, scandals. | ||
| Getting nothing done. | ||
| No issues. | ||
| But I don't think you're taking into the what Neuralink will become in 70 years, 100 years. | ||
| It's not, you're almost not going to be able to just be clueless on what's happening because you're going to be connected. | ||
| It'll be, I mean, I mean, I guess I'm making, I'm making, yeah, but not inside, in my brain. | ||
| Like that's a, that's like another level of connected that we don't even understand yet. | ||
| There's not gonna be a point where you won't have that choice. | ||
| Unless you're talking about the Borg. | ||
| Then the Borg, there would be no vote. | ||
| It would be a constant buzz. | ||
| So if we have Neuralink, then you would basically be like, you'd be sitting there and you'd | ||
| think Twitter and then the thing would pop up and you'd be looking at it in your mind. | ||
| You'd be choosing to do these things. | ||
| Yeah, but that's a good point though, the whole Borg thing. | ||
| That's kind of what I'm trying to lean towards. | ||
| It's like, sure, it might not be like one voiceless, you know, whirr in our head that you don't really know what's happening, but if all of us are, every single person is like engaging and That's what Twitter is. | ||
| Yeah, but Twitter, as you told me, is only like, what, 2% of the population? | ||
| Those 2% of people who are active and engaged on Twitter are ripping each other's heads off and at war. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| So what do you think would happen if you plugged everybody into that war? | ||
| You'd have a civil war in two seconds. | ||
| Or the majority would be like, you small minority over there, and you small minority over there, shut up. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Because- That could happen though, you can't just say nope. | ||
| Yes I can, because we have- Okay, fly. | ||
| We have nope you back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| We have every historical reference to say that you're wrong. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| In the Revolutionary War- But we're not there yet. | ||
| In the Revolutionary War- They weren't connected in their brains, this is a whole nother thing we're not- we don't understand yet because we're not there. | ||
| Dude, it doesn't matter if one person takes a gun and goes and starts shooting people, and then someone else reacts to it, the majority can say no, all they want, it won't change what's happening. | ||
| Okay, so when the majority in the rebel in the colony said no to war and the revolutionary said we're doing it anyway, right? | ||
| They did it anyway, okay so if you have everybody plugged in and 70% of people are saying everyone shut up will stop then someone's gonna be like I'm being oppressed and they're gonna go out and do something nuts and the other faction is like we warned you all and you told us to stop and now look what's happening and that's literally what's going on with Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and Okay. | ||
| Even though the majority of people are saying Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, leave me alone, | ||
| the warring factions are still showing up in the street, punching each other, | ||
| and everything's still going nuts. So even if you connected everybody into everyone's minds, | ||
| it's always most people who say no, stop, I don't want to be involved, | ||
| and then a small handful of crazies pick up arms and go nuts, and it drags everybody into it. | ||
| Yeah, I'm not saying that that can't happen. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That's not what I was saying. | ||
| I'm saying that there is still the possibility of what I said to come true. | ||
| We don't understand. | ||
| Neuralink is something that's going to bring us all together on a different level that we don't understand yet. | ||
| I think it's fair to say that we don't know what the full effects will be if we're fully plugged in. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I also think it's fair to point out the precursor is things like Twitter. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Where we can see what happens when large swaths of the population are placed into this virtual political space. | ||
| I still feel like the Twitterverse is not the... We're still kind of figuring it out. | ||
| We gotta wait like 10 more years to really understand what it's doing to us as a society, as a whole. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, what you're just saying right there, it's like, still, only 2% of the population are on Twitter. | ||
| Not everybody's on Twitter. | ||
| Look at the data from LexisNexis going back to 2008. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Where words like, phrases like, critical race theory, social justice, feminism, racism, skyrocketed, like, several, like, just thousands of times. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Thousand-fold plus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Whereas the news used to say racism, you know, like, 10 times a month, it now says it a million times a month. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| We're that much more connected. | ||
| Now plug everyone into that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And they will go insane in seconds. | ||
| Right, but it's also the people that are making those things trend are not fully knowledgeable about everything that's happening. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| They want money. | ||
| Right, the specifics of them, but as a whole, I don't know if I agree with that. | ||
| You plug everybody in, and you're still going to have 80% of people saying, | ||
| I don't care, and I'm not paying attention. And then of the small factions, you're going to have | ||
| people vying for influence, lying and manipulating to gain that influence. Then you will see all of | ||
| these people right now who don't read Vox and BuzzFeed, now they're plugged into it, and the | ||
| access is substantially easier, and it can just appear in front of them or whatever the circumstance | ||
| is where they can just know it. And now you've rapidly hyperpolarized all of the masses. | ||
| But at the same time, right now, we're seeing this shift where people are starting to look over at those people and be like, actually, you're not right. | ||
| Actually, you seem pretty ignorant on what's actually going on, and you're just screaming. | ||
| And, you know, we're already seeing a shift. | ||
| It's already changing. | ||
| Maybe, but the problem is, Okay. | ||
| 300 people went out January 20th, 2017, starting fires and throwing bricks and running through | ||
| the streets of D.C. | ||
| OK. | ||
| In a town of millions of people, it takes only hundreds to destabilize everything. | ||
| During Occupy Wall Street, it took one pepper spraying to spark a national movement. | ||
| So if you have most people saying enough, perhaps what could happen is these establishment | ||
| resistance types get backed into a corner and then snap. | ||
| And then say our only opportunity is to go nuts because we've lost all our power. | ||
| First of all, I think if you have Neuralink, you're not going to get people forced to do anything, which means they'll still ignore everything. | ||
| It basically just means that you've got your phone in your head. | ||
| Well, people still don't use Twitter, even though they can use their phone to get it if they wanted to. | ||
| That's like level one Neuralink. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So then at what point do people lose their free will? | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| That's a good question. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| The moment Neuralink flips on a switch where it says we're taking your free will, there will be riots, explosions, and humanity will eat itself alive. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| So, there's going to be a lot of people who reject it. | ||
| There's going to be, you know, Luddites and people who refuse to get it. | ||
| It could be 100 or 200 years when most people are totally fine with it, and then they implement the The evil overlord presses the button and activates no free will or something. | ||
| But there will always be some people who won't wire in. | ||
| And then they'll go arm up. | ||
| And then... That'll be it. | ||
| Then some people will see some things and it'll change and disrupt. | ||
| I don't think that we can... It's very likely that right now, based on what Neuralink is, we're gonna have a Borg situation. | ||
| Where people lose free will. | ||
| Which means, even if you're wired in, I don't gotta listen to what you have to say. | ||
| People would go insane. | ||
| Could you imagine trying to sit down and watch a movie and you hear someone screeching? | ||
| Definitely not. | ||
| I couldn't handle that. | ||
| So then why would anyone do it different from what Twitter already is? | ||
| I think what Neuralink will do is if we get to the point where we can actually project | ||
| experiences into your brain, then people will just buy experiences like video games. | ||
| So it'll be gone. | ||
| You get to act, right, exactly. | ||
| You get to actually be in this world. | ||
| People will be like, I go to, you know what they'll do? | ||
| You put in the Neuralink, you send yourself to the beach while your body just goes to | ||
| the motions doing the job. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| If we get to that point, and then you, like, come to and you're like, wow, I just worked eight hours and I don't even remember. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| I was at the beach. | ||
| Just chilling. | ||
| Virtual reality. | ||
| All right, here's what we're going to do. | ||
| We're going to start speeding up to the super chat, so I apologize. | ||
| Oh, we're already 10 minutes over. | ||
| Yeah, we're way over. | ||
| Well, we kind of went on a tangent there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was great. | |
| I couldn't help myself. | ||
| But I do think that we actually might have to super speed through because we literally have like a couple hundred super chats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| Thank you so much, everyone. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Thank you, everybody. | ||
| Let's go for it. | ||

| That is, after they put the farmers in camps. | ||
| Sean says, sending some of my Trump bucks to recommend that the lady crochets a beanie for the top of that UFO. | ||
| Also, what do you think about underwater farming and livable habitats? | ||
| Um, Bioshock. | ||
| Totally down. | ||
| I don't know if Underwater, but they are actually working on these floating islands that are self-sustaining universities. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, they're actually colleges that are really, it's like the beginning of it, but they're making it a school, so it's kind of cool. | ||
| Well, they get the funding, I'm sure it's a lot easier. | ||
| Basically, it's a fully self-sustaining island that has everything you can think of. | ||
| It's pretty cool. | ||
| We can make biodomes in jars. | ||
| You ever see those things? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've actually been to the biodome. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| The real one? | ||
| Yeah, the real one. | ||
| It's in Arizona. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| There's two, aren't there? | ||
| I've been to Biodome, too. | ||
| I don't know if the first one still exists or where it is. | ||
| It failed, though, didn't it? | ||
| Like, they tried to do it? | ||
| No, they were in there for a few years. | ||
| Oh, wow, really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They made a movie about it. | ||

| Mike says, Seattle port cop fired for speaking out against tyranny. | ||

| Shame. Hey, if he's speaking out against tyranny, firing him, doing the right thing. | ||
| Free Nation says, what's your take on the silence of climate change activists through all this? | ||
| We've shut down the global economy. You'd figure they'd be lauding the impact, | ||
| putting aside Venice canals just on CO2 because they don't want to accept that | ||
| all the misery coming from this is what they were proposing. | ||
| Hammer says, please stop giving Jon Stewart credit for a format | ||
| that Rush Limbaugh created in 1992-96. | ||
| Kilbourn was the first host in 96 of the show, then Stewart in 98. | ||
| Rush first at Comedy Politics TV. | ||
| I'm not saying Jon Stewart created it. | ||
| I'm saying that back in the day we trusted him because he was honest about it. | ||
| Yeah, but was Rush on the left, though? | ||
| Wasn't he a Republican? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right, so you were saying that John was leading on the left, who was intellectually honest and funny. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And now we've lost those thought leaders, so you're left with a weird husk of emotionally reactive leftists. | ||
| Yeah, that's not the same. | ||

| Hudson says, I don't think the Arbery saga and the subsequent fake news and hate crime hoax is going to reinforce tribalism on partisan lines. | ||
| It's probably designed to instigate race riots. | ||

| Yes! | ||
| I heard a rumor that they're actually making a TV series. | ||
| because Adam likes Wheel of Time, the greatest series of all time. | ||
| Keep up the good work, guys. | ||
| Oh, there you go. | ||
| See, shout out the book. | ||
| I did hear, I heard a rumor that they're actually making a TV series. | ||
| I don't know how I feel about it, but if they mess it up, I'm gonna be pissed. | ||
| They're working on this lineup. | ||
| They better do it right. | ||
| They're gonna inject a bunch of weird feminism stuff into it. | ||
| That's what they're doing behind. | ||
| I heard about that actually. | ||
| With what? | ||
| With a series that I really love. | ||
| Which one? | ||
| The Terry Pratchett series, the Discworld series. | ||
| Messing it up. | ||
| It's what happens, man. | ||
| Let's see, Darth Zeketh says, did you hear about the police officer Greg Anderson in Washington that got fired for a YouTube video speaking out about liberty and integrity? | ||
| There's a GoFundMe. | ||
| I will check that out. | ||

| Big Daddy says, do you guys ever struggle with the thought of maybe being annoying to close friends or family for having political opinions and really like talking about controversial subjects? | ||
| I feel it a lot. | ||
| I don't talk to my family about these things. | ||
| Nope, I don't care what people think about me. | ||
| Or talk, like, whatever. | ||
| I give my family my honest opinion. | ||
| I give my friends my honest opinion. | ||
| I give you my honest opinion. | ||
| That's all I can say. | ||
| It's annoying when you talk their ears off and they don't care. | ||
| But I'll tell you what, if someone came to me and said, Hey, I heard that Trump did a backflip and he didn't, I'd be like, well, that's, he didn't do a backflip. | ||
| I can show you the article if you're interested. | ||
| Otherwise we can go have pizza. | ||
| It's up to you. | ||
| And if they're like, well, I'll be like, look, if you want to have an argument about whether he did or didn't, we can. | ||
| I think it's kind of boring, but I'm telling you he didn't. | ||
| I bet a lot of my family is really stoked that I'm like more in line with Trump now than I was ever before. | ||
| Cause they're, cause Arizona conservatives or what? | ||

| I'd highly recommend starting with Mistborn by my favorite author. | ||
| I've read them all. | ||
| Have you really? | ||
| Well, Brandon Sanderson finished The Wheel of Time, because Robert Jordan died before he could finish it. | ||
| Although he did write the last book, or the end war anyway, but it was great. | ||
| And that's how I found Brandon Sanderson, and I read all of his stuff. | ||

| I don't have anything offhand. | ||
| It's really funny because people are always like, on the Jogan podcast, they said, that guy talks really fast, he's gotta be on uppers. | ||
| It's like, dude, I try really hard to speak slower. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is his natural tone. | ||
| But I am not, I am on no uppers other than, I guess right now, caffeine. | ||
| Coffee, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, you do drink coffee. | ||
| But I drink less than the average person. | ||
| Yeah, I guess so, huh? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You drink one cup in the morning, is that right? | ||
| It's two cups. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's because I do a big glass. | ||
| But the average person drinks like four a day, I think, or some ridiculous number. | ||
| Maybe I'm wrong. | ||
| Four cups a day? | ||
| Because they have... I drink two cups. | ||
| Because they have two in the morning and then two in the afternoon or something like that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I just have... I've been doing this oatmeal coffee. | ||
| It's actually a little bit less than, I think, technically... No, I think it's about two cups of coffee. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| But, like, people need it. | ||
| I know they do. | ||
| So they're gonna start getting extremely politically active. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| And that can get bad. | ||
| Or good. | ||
| I don't think it could be good. | ||
| Because there's no outlet. | ||
| If more people become politically active? | ||
| Where's their outlet right now? | ||
| Demanding a reopening? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That could make them way more conservative. | ||
| So, maybe that results in them reopening, I guess would be a good thing. | ||
| Featherfall says the reason the big cities in Texas are blue is due to West Coasters moving here for the lower living costs they otherwise couldn't afford in Cal. | ||
| They moved to cities because they refused to live in the bush. | ||
| Lubbock, Texas rep. | ||
| Actually I heard, I think I heard this from Ben Shapiro, that in Texas the Republicans are mostly from out of state. | ||
| Did you see the same thing? | ||
| No, I hadn't heard that. | ||
| Maybe I'm wrong. | ||
| Maybe I am wrong. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Slosher says, Tim, have you ever read Ayn Rand? | ||
| Your story about refusing to go to Black Tie event because you would have to compromise makes you sound like you're one of her characters. | ||
| Huh. | ||
| Maybe we're all in this book. | ||
| Bioshock was awesome. | ||
| Bukalik says, I started watching your videos after the Rogan show and I have to say, if every news agency were as honest in reporting facts as you, fake news wouldn't be a thing. | ||
| I wish. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| BadassTutor says, Tim Pool, the most conservative non-conservative. | ||
| No, I mean, look at Adam. | ||
| You've been a bit more conservative on certain things than me. | ||
| I mean, I guess so. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, it just like everybody's got some left, some right, some more than others. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| It's like I agree with some both sides and I disagree with mostly the left. | ||
| Alright, let's see, now where were we? | ||
| We just had that big ol' jump happen. | ||
| Oh man, another jump, huh? | ||
| Oh yeah, I love it. | ||
| It's great. | ||

Oh, by now I'd have a glass of whiskey, I'd be playing... No, super chats are way better. | |
| Let's see. | ||
| Ah, here we are. | ||
| Here we are. | ||
| Andrew Nelson says, Captain, Tim Luke Picard of the starship Beanie Prize, infamous around the galaxy for his shirt-tugging. | ||
| Just like Jean-Luc. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Where are we now? | ||
| Where are we now? | ||
| St. | ||
| Miles says, Joe Max Headroom Biden. | ||
| Doctor says, also within two days of making a Twitter account and getting over 4,000 unique impressions on a comment on one of your tweets, they de-boosted me censorship is real. | ||
| Oh yeah, for sure. | ||
| They want to stop new accounts from starting up like that. | ||
| Jeez. | ||
| Spartacus says, thanks for all you do, Tim. | ||
| You're my Walter Cronkite. | ||
| I hope you understand how important what you do is for us in the absence of a fourth estate. | ||
| There are a lot of other people who do well, too. | ||
| I just hope more people try to do their best. | ||
| Flood says, Trump I say. | ||
| There you go, Trump I say! | ||
| Haywood says, if Neuralink makes us smarter, we will be more united because there won't be any more leftists. | ||

| Henrik, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thomas Lorbiter says, I like Monster Hunter International. | ||
| Haven't played it. | ||
| Is that an anime? | ||
| I thought it was a game. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Raven, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Azazel says, upload an Amazon Prime series is a good time. | ||
| I saw that. | ||
| I didn't know if I was going to watch it. | ||
| All Metal Mike says, where is the ACLU crickets? | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| No, they're just focused on leftist social justice stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Austin Laverty says, who wants to go to Wuhan Wild Wings for dinner and beers when this is over? | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| One of the first places I'm going is B-dubs. | ||
| I think I'm good. | ||
| I'm straight up B-dubs. | ||
| What's B-dubs? | ||
| Buffalo Wild Wings. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| No, I'm going to Blackbird. | ||
| Get my own wings. | ||
| You get your wings, I'll get my wings, we'll get wings. | ||

| Flip says the social media companies have become the meme you facetwit. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Trouble Down says thoughts on Bezos buying AMC theaters? | ||
| I'm 100% for it. | ||
| Hope you're all staying safe. | ||
| Thank you for all you do. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Is that a thing? | ||
| I haven't heard that. | ||
| I welcome it, but I also don't like it because Bezos has too much. | ||
| Amazon's buying too much. | ||
| It's getting too big. | ||
| They're going to overpower everything. | ||
| But I like the idea of like, man, when Bezos steps in, he really does ramp up the technology, you know, on like Whole Foods and stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Cerilio says, y'all going to do me like that. | ||
| I don't usually catch the live show, but I greatly enjoy Tim and Adam's differing opinions. | ||
| Variety is crucial. | ||
| I completely agree. | ||

|
Nice. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| Well, we've gone way over. | ||
| Yeah, it's funny though, we're born two days apart. | ||
| Well, I mean, I'm older than him by a few years, but your birthday is two days after mine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's funny, we're very similar on many things, but we're very different on many things also. | ||
| That's just like normal people. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| As simple as it gets, man. | ||
| All right, let's see what we got. | ||
| We got a couple more Super Chats we'll read to them. | ||
| Nugget says, if you love Brandon Sanderson, I recommend the lit RPG genre books like Ascend Online and Awaken Online. | ||
| The lit RPG genre is about virtual reality. | ||
| Sounds really cool. | ||
| Yeah, I'll have to check that out. | ||
| Chris Egleton says, when can we expect a Harumph t-shirt? | ||
| When the beanies come, I suppose. | ||
| We'll get on it. | ||
| Jeff Dewar says, I work at Costco and was told to go home if I didn't wear a mask. | ||
