| How's it going everybody? | ||
| Welcome to the TimCastIRL podcast. | ||
| My name is Tim Poole. | ||
| Tonight, I am hanging out with the same people I'm always hanging out with. | ||
| You know it. | ||
| Hey, what's up? | ||
| It's me, Adam Krigler. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's Adam. | |
| Yeah, thanks for showing up. | ||
| And me, producer Lydia. | ||
| Producer Lydia. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You now have a title. | ||
| No longer bearer of burdens. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How's it going everybody? | ||
| Elon Musk wants to take the red pill. | ||
| You gonna do it? | ||
| Does anybody even know what that means? | ||
| Like when he said it? | ||
| Do they know what it means? | ||
| I wonder. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I wonder if Elon Musk knows what it means. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| I'm curious, yeah. | ||
| We got a bunch of other stories too. | ||
| You've got to turn that off. | ||
| Oh, sorry. | ||
| So we also have, apparently, the New York Times thinks that Believe All Women is a right-wing conspiracy that was made up. | ||
| Yeah, it's one of these days. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| Maybe we'll talk about depressed fish. | ||
| We have a story about depressed fish. | ||
| I hope we make it to the depressed fish. | ||
| We don't always make it to every single story. | ||
| You've got to remember the depressed fish. | ||
| My thoughts and prayers go out to them. | ||
| So apparently, the first story we have is Elon Musk tweeted, take the red pill. | ||
| with a red flower, which is the symbol of socialism. | ||
| Yeah, what? | ||
| I don't know if he actually knows what he was tweeting. | ||
| I don't think he does. | ||
| But boy, did he start a lot of problems, I guess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, it's like he could tweet anything and someone's going to get mad about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| But apparently his girlfriend, Grime, I don't know, got mad about it. | ||
| Her mom got mad about it. | ||
| Her mom got mad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then the Wachowski person. | ||
| Lily told Ivanka to F off. | ||
| Well, we should just do the story. | ||
| We'll just jump into the story. | ||
| If you haven't already, you can jump in the super chat, and we will read your questions to the best of our abilities. | ||
| We don't always get to everybody, so I see some people are like, hey, you didn't read my comment. | ||
| Let me just tell you guys, okay, and I mean no disrespect, and I really appreciate you're all here, but Look, if we get, you know, 700 superchats, it's physically impossible for us to read them. | ||
| So we do our best. | ||
| We usually dedicate like a full hour to reading all the comments and everything, but sometimes there's just too many. | ||
| And, you know, people get mad. | ||
| I can't really do anything about it. | ||
| We would not be able to read them all. | ||
| But I do appreciate everybody who gets the superchat in. | ||
| So, you know, if you want, you can get your superchats in. | ||
| The sooner you get them in, the better, obviously, because once we start getting later in the show, it gets harder and harder to do. | ||
| But other than that, hit the like button and just smash it. | ||
| I just shared. | ||
| Repeatedly. | ||
| No, just one time. | ||
| Well, I liked it once, but then I shared. | ||
| But then you shared, because sharing is caring. | ||
| Sharing is caring. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right, Tim. | |
| This is the motto we'll be using. | ||
| In order for us to compete with the big major networks, we need your help. | ||
| We don't have a big marketing budget. | ||
| We don't have YouTube's algorithmic bump. | ||
| We just have word of mouth. | ||
| We have you. | ||
| Yeah, CNN gets to be on the front page, you know, and we don't. | ||
| Well, I should say we'll appear on like front page recommendations, but they have like a dedicated section for like authoritative news that appears on the front page now or something. | ||
| We're not authoritative. | ||
| Give me a break. | ||
| We're not! | ||
| They don't like us. | ||
| Should we be more authoritative? | ||
| You can't do anything. | ||
| Oh, yeah, I guess not. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It kind of feels like things are getting better on YouTube, though. | ||
| We'll see how things play out. | ||
| Because I've been seeing recommendations for more channels lately. | ||
| And I think what YouTube did early on with recommending nothing but mainstream media, I kind of feel like that wasn't their long-term goal. | ||
| I think it was like an emergency move. | ||
| So they could be, like, to all the press and all the advertisers. | ||
| They could go to advertisers and be like, oh, don't worry, look, we changed it. | ||
| It only recommends mainstream news now. | ||
| No one will get mad. | ||
| And then what they did was they used that time to purge tons of channels. | ||
| Yeah, they did, didn't they? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| They wiped out tons of channels. | ||
| We know a few people, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's true. | |
| Yeah, we did a video about it, too. | ||
| And then, after that, they slowly started putting recommendations back for channels that they've vetted. | ||
| So we've been officially vetted? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Well, actually, yeah, no, we are. | ||
| I'm putting it into the air. | ||
| We made it. | ||
| We are, we are. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Thank you, everybody. | ||
| A couple of years ago, they started the whole demonetization thing, where it's like you started getting the icons. | ||
| Everybody would default demonetized. | ||
| It's like you put a video up, people would be like, why? | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| I'm losing all my money. | ||
| Now most people default monetize. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think they've, they've like, they're now comfortable. | ||
| They've taken enough steps. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, I mean, this is great news for us because all of our content now defaults to monetize position. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Even some of our raw streams where we've been swearing. | ||
| I think it's not just about whether or not you follow the rules, it's whether or not YouTube thinks they have nothing to worry about. | ||
| They think you follow the rules. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Same thing. | |
| Same thing. | ||
| It's if you break the rules, but they're like, yeah, but the IRL podcast is so milquetoast. | ||
| You know, it's like when it comes, it is, it is. | ||
| A guess. | ||
| Rational centrist. | ||
| When it comes to cultural issues, we're like, we don't swear. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| So if we do swear a couple of times, they're like, whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, it's like, we can typically tell the average person. | ||
| We always follow up a swear with a, oops. | ||
| Oops. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh no, they're like, 10 minutes ago, they're going to demonetize us. | |
| It's less about the revenue. | ||
| It's actually about the parents who are like, I have you on when my kids are in the room. | ||
| And you know, I actually got an email from a couple people. | ||
| And it's typically, the common idea is, you're one of the few channels that I know I can turn on while my kids are hanging out or something. | ||
| And that's like really cool because we can talk politics. | ||
| But a lot of other channels, they swear, they insult, they're mean. | ||
| And it's like, they do have to worry about it. | ||
| For us, they're like, I can just turn it on, I don't gotta worry, but for some of the other political commentators, it's like, no. | ||
| Yeah, they go ham sometimes. | ||
| I've seen some of them, they're crazy. | ||
| It's not even about swearing. | ||
| It's about certain ideas where you gotta explain to your kids what some... I'm not gonna even say some of the words. | ||
| Well, we did the other day when I said a certain something, and you were like, oh man. | ||
| A bunch of jerks that are forming a large ring where they all handshake each other. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| A circle of mean people. | ||
| Great picture. | ||
| Great picture. | ||
| You painted it there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thumbnail. | |
| Very nice. | ||
| So I do kind of think... | ||
| So here's what I've heard. | ||
| I've heard there have been a bunch of channels that got cleared, and then at the last minute, purged. | ||
| Like, YouTube sent them a message where it's like, congratulations, your channel is now cleared for monetization, and then a week later they're like, you've been banned from the partner program for being harmful. | ||
| Dang. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I kind of have an idea of what kind of channels they are, like conspiracy channels. | ||
| Even not the worst ones. | ||
| But like any association with conspiracy theory, YouTube is just nuking. | ||
| You could make a conspiracy theory video five years ago and be totally mainstream today. | ||
| Wipe you out. | ||
| Just because of the past. | ||
| People can change, YouTube. | ||
| But it's association. | ||
| We live in cancel culture world, man. | ||
| Yeah, it's a scary world. | ||
| Someone's going to be like, this person made a video about flat earth ten years ago. | ||
| The internet's forever. | ||
| Yeah, the internet's forever, man. | ||
| And then they come for you and then boom, you're gone. | ||
| Flat earthers. | ||
| Dude, somebody posted, I saw a bunch of posts on Facebook, it's amazing! | ||
| The flat earth thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| It's pretty crazy, people are really into it. | ||
| Somebody was like, they posted this thing where they were like, after watching this video, it's all I need, you guys, you have no idea what you're talking about, you know, what do they call them, like globalists or something? | ||
| Oh my gosh! | ||
| Like, we have a globe right here. | ||
| But, uh, they posted the link to the video and they were like, you know, debate me. | ||
| They were like, try and disprove this. | ||
| So I was like, alright. | ||
| I played the video and the dude in the video just made a bunch of claims. | ||
| It was the weirdest thing. | ||
| Like, he didn't actually have any evidence or any data. | ||
| He was just like, the sun isn't actually that far away. | ||
| And you can tell because you can see it's the same size as the moon and that proves it. | ||
| And I'm like, just like things like that. | ||
| And I'm like, what? | ||
| And then, and then the funniest thing was... They just have a perfect ratio. | ||
| It's pretty cool, actually. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| One of the things he said was like, um, gravity doesn't exist and this is proven by density. | ||
| And then he shows like, uh, like things floating in water and he was like, different density of objects move up and down. | ||
| That proves gravity isn't real. | ||
| And I'm like, that actually proves gravity is real. | ||
| And so it's like, how do you tell someone that? | ||
| Density actually proves a whole bunch of theories of physics and like how they relate. | ||
| It's like fifth grade science. | ||
| How do you prove to someone who's just like, nope, I watched the video? | ||
| Well, I deny science, so I'm correct. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, you know, the thing about like the science, like, I believe science crowd, and like the science is effing awesome, is that everyone just says they believe the science now. | ||
| And so you'll get one side being like, you clearly don't know anything about the science because the earth is round. | ||
| And then someone will be like, you didn't even do any research. | ||
| You just assume it is because I've read the science and the earth is flat. | ||
| And it's like, That's true. | ||
| I read the science that proves my point, so I'm gonna go with that. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| That's happening right now, actually. | ||
| There was a story that came out about a non-peer-reviewed article that just got released, I think it was from Australia, saying that COVID, they believe, was made, not an accident. | ||
| And it's one non-peer-reviewed story. | ||
| So run with it! | ||
| I'm not even gonna bother with it, right? | ||
| But a lot of people do. | ||
| And they're like, boom, there it is! | ||
| And like, that's enough for them. | ||
| And so I'll contrast that with a light self-criticism, but also differentiate a bit. | ||
| When I talked about the South China University saying that they believed it leaked from a lab, that was actually in line with some of the other statements that were made by some politicians about the potential for what had happened. | ||
| And because of the proximity of the bats to the city, that actually sounded like it made sense, but the study was eventually pulled. | ||
| Now you've got the State Department investigating it, so that sounds like it's plausible. | ||
| It's also plausible You know, uh, it's possible, I should say, I should say plausible, that it's manufactured. | ||
| I just don't think so. | ||
| I mean, we also saw, I saw this video of them going into the caves and, like, straight scraping, like, poop and, like, staying in there for days and days, like, living in the caves with these cats. | ||
| They were bringing the bats. | ||
| Where the bats were living, and it's like, I mean, you could have caught it that way, too. | ||
| Who knows, you know? | ||
| But people want to believe the one story. | ||
| They're like, there it is. | ||
| We've been waiting for it. | ||
| That proves it. | ||
| It's like, well, hold on, man. | ||
| Look, the U.S. | ||
| is looking for an excuse to go after China. | ||
| I'm sure if they could, they would. | ||
| Like the best they can do right now is it was it was an accident. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Harumph. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Accidents. | ||
| China messed this one up. | ||
| Harumph. | ||
| All right. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Enough. | ||
| Enough warming up, I guess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Let's talk about Mr. Elon Musk. | ||
| Let's talk about it. | ||
| What does it mean to take the red pill? | ||
| Elon Musk certainly wants you to. | ||
| He tweeted, take the red pill. | ||
| And then strangely, flower. | ||
| And the flower is what the socialists put in their Twitter names, so. | ||
| Well, there's no red pill emoji, is there? | ||
| I don't think there is. | ||
| I think, no. | ||
| Is there? | ||
| No, there might be a pill emoji. | ||
| I don't think there is. | ||
| Yeah, but it's not red. | ||
| I think there's a pill that's not red, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's gotta be red. | ||
| So I think he might have been just going for the red motif. | ||
| The red rose. | ||
| Poor choice. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I do, I would think. | ||
| Well, this is what we get. | ||
| It's the weirdest thing ever. | ||
| Ivanka Trump quote tweets Elon Musk. | ||
| Taken. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And then Lily Wachowski, one of the creators of The Matrix. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| F both of you. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| What is happening? | ||
| This right here summarizes or exemplifies the problem I have with the cultural left. | ||
| And I'm sure, you know, there are probably some conservatives who do this similar behavior, but cussing at someone isn't a point about anything. | ||
| No, you're right. | ||
| It's not an argument. | ||
| It's a virtue signal. | ||
| It's a tendency of the cultural left. | ||
| It's a virtue signal. | ||
| It's screaming no when they announced Trump as president. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| That's all I see is that video now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| All these people doing this, just like, no! | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It's like, oh, you're just screaming. | ||
| What did Ivanka Trump ever do to anybody? | ||
| She was the daughter of Trump. | ||
| I believe that's her crime. | ||
| Now I get it. | ||
| See it makes sense. | ||
| When you look at it from a different perspective, it's like, oh, yes. | ||
| She's part orange. | ||
| She's actually really nice, like Trump I get. | ||
| Trump, like, he's a nasty dude. | ||
| Didn't he actually say, I'm a mean guy, but I work for you? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But he owns up to it, at least. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He's a business man. | ||
| What's the right word for it? | ||
| He's a cutthroat. | ||
| Isn't that the whole thing about being a good businessman? | ||
| You gotta be cutthroat? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not that he's aggressive. | |
| And he's bombastic. | ||
| Arrogant. | ||
| And he's like, I'm a mean guy, but I work for you. | ||
| And people love it. | ||
| He's bellicose. | ||
| He's always ready to fight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bellicose. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Now look, I understand why people like Trump. | ||
| I understand why people don't like him. | ||
| But what did Ivanka do to anybody? | ||
| She didn't do anything. | ||
| She's, like, just smiling and, like, just doing... I mean, I guess people don't like that she has a clothing company or something or whatever. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| It's the weirdest thing. | ||
| Didn't he appoint her? | ||
| What position does she have in the government? | ||
| Does she have, like, an important position? | ||
| But it's all nepotism. | ||
| She hasn't done anything with it. | ||
| That's a criticism of Trump, though. | ||
| It's like that Trump's appointing his family members and putting them in, you know, surrounding himself. | ||
| But even then it's like a weak criticism. | ||
| It's like, dude, people. | ||
| Well, I'm not criticizing. | ||
| I'm just, I'm just asking. | ||
| No, I mean the other people. | ||
| If she isn't qualified though, then, then she may deserve some criticism also. | ||
| For, but with no, I think it's a criticism of the person who put her in the position she's not qualified for. | ||
| Alright, I guess you're right. | ||
| Look, if you had somebody whose IQ was 80 and they got appointed to some job, you'd be like, why did you appoint this person to this job? | ||
| You wouldn't go to the person whose IQ is 80 and be like, it's your fault! | ||
| I'd be like, good point. | ||
| Talk to them. | ||
| But if they're nice to me, I don't know why you'd be mean to them. | ||
| Anyway, let's talk about what it means to be red-pilled. | ||
| Because that's the big question. | ||
| Enlighten us, Tim. | ||
| Enlighten us. | ||
| Well, just wait. | ||
| There's a lot of ways to talk about it. | ||
| Elon Musk falls foul of his mother-in-law. | ||
| Is he married to Grimes? | ||
| No. | ||
| They're not married. | ||
| There's no other way to say it. | ||
| Grimes' mom. | ||
| Of his beau's mom. | ||
| Maybe mama's mom. | ||
| Grimes' mom slams daughter's partner for tweeting right-wing take-the-red-pill meme, accusing him of blaring men's rights activism BS, but he was praised by Ivanka. | ||
| I don't think Elon Musk knows what the red pill means. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Didn't he actually tweet about the Matrix? | ||
| Hadn't he just been watching it? | ||
| Yeah, he probably watched the Matrix and was like, yes, everyone should open their eyes. | ||
| Because he worries about AI, I know. | ||
| I mean, it feels like everyone has different views of what taking the red pill even means. | ||
| There's a big spectrum out there. | ||
| Think of it like a gender. | ||
| There's many different genders of red pill. | ||
| Can I say that? | ||
| I think so, yeah. | ||
| Right now, the dominant idea of what red pill is, is basically that you're going to vote for Trump or vote Republican or something. | ||
| It is a bit nebulous. | ||
| But I feel like that's kind of newer. | ||
| That's like a newer term. | ||
| Relatively, it's been around for years. | ||
| But going back even further, the red pill referred to this community of... I don't know how to describe it, but it's kind of like... | ||
| I don't know how to describe it. | ||
| The Game. | ||
| Do you know what The Game is? | ||
| Like the movie? | ||
| No, there's a book called The Game. | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| And it's about how men can pick up women and the ways they have to act and the things that women want. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And the Red Pill community was about, you know, like, here's what you need to do to actually understand the desires of women or something like that. | ||
| I'm probably getting the general philosophy wrong. | ||
| Because the media always does, for sure. | ||
| They call it men's rights stuff. | ||
| I think the closest you can get to it is it's an online community of people who study various bits of evolutionary psychology as an effort for dating. | ||
| And you can criticize them, you can compliment them, whatever you think. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| The point is just like an accurate description. | ||
| It's called the red pill. | ||
| And then the general idea of what the red pill always was, was just waking up. | ||
| Yeah, that's, I mean, I first heard the term in, what is it, 1999 when The Matrix came out? | ||
| When I watched The Matrix. | ||
| I went and saw it in the theaters, blew my mind. | ||
| I was like, this is one of the best movies ever. | ||
| It's like taking the red pill, opening your mind, revealing the truth. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, finding out what's really going on. | ||
| And that's still kind of what it's supposed to mean. | ||
| I mean, that's what I always... That's how I take it, also. | ||
| So does woke. | ||
| Getting woke? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| They mean literally the same thing. | ||
| I mean... I think that's altered way faster than the red pill. | ||
| That steered way left really fast. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| The left calls what they're awakening, wokeness. | ||
| Like, when you finally learn about male privilege and white privilege, now you're woke. | ||
| You've awoken to, you know, the truth. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's funny because being red-pilled, a reference to the Matrix, is essentially the same thing, but the truth is different. | ||
| Yeah, but getting woke is like realizing that and then falling flat on your face. | ||
| It's like, oh, you're woke now. | ||
| No, I think like- You just fell on your face. | ||
| It's taking the blue pill. | ||
| Maybe it's mixing them, and then not realizing what's happening. | ||
| And then tripping, and your eyes are falling out, and you're like, what's happening? | ||
| That's kind of what I'm leaning towards. | ||
| Half in, half out. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| That could explain it, actually. | ||
| No, just going too far, like, oh, now I know everything, so I'm gonna take over the world. | ||
| That's what it feels like. | ||
| Getting woke, I mean. | ||
| One way you could describe it is if you took both pills, they'd both be counteracting yourself, so you'd be half in and half out, so your perception would be all warped and twisted. | ||
| Or nothing would happen at all, and it would just... | ||
| Oh, so this is just a dream? | ||
| One way to describe wokeness is that they've got, you know, half-cocked, brainless ideas. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| That were, like, someone just wrote one day and then published, and everyone's like, I'm gonna say that's true. | ||
| And it's like, that's not true. | ||
| Actually, that's really good. | ||
| That's perfect. | ||
| It's basically taking both, because they're nitpicking and choosing what's perfect for their battles and then, like, ignoring other things. | ||
| Where the red pill is like, I'm accepting all of the truth, and everything's being revealed. | ||
| Better yet, one way you can say it, is that when they take both, the blue and the red pill, they do wake up, but their brain is still halfway attached to the fake reality, so they're in the real world saying things that make no sense, and you're like, because they have this parallel, alternate dimension in their brain where they're like, Or they're still connected to the Matrix, maybe. | ||
| Yeah, half-connected. | ||
| They're like, oh, this is a weird world. | ||
| I'm going to close my eyes again. | ||
| I'm telling you, I see a giant green fairy monster. | ||
| You need to understand the power. | ||
| And you're like, that's not real. | ||
| Your brain is not in reality. | ||
| So now I think for the most part red pill kind of just means that it for the most part means like you understand the lies of the media and the establishment but it basically implies you're voting for Trump or like you're overtly you know on board with a Trump train or Republicans or whatever. | ||
| Like a good example is how people keep saying Tim take the red pill and it's like I don't understand what that's supposed to mean in the context of me constantly telling you the media is lying to you. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like every single day. | ||
| If anyone that I've known, you would have taken, you've been, had the red pill. | ||
| You eat the red pill for breakfast, as far as I'm concerned. | ||
| What a lot of Trump supporters say is that I'm a dealer. | ||
| I don't take my own supply. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| I like that. | ||
| It makes sense. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| I worked for these companies, man. | ||
| I've watched them lie. | ||
| I've watched them fail. | ||
| And so I was watching the media lie. | ||
| And so I left, and I'm like, hey, guess what? | ||
| The media's lying. | ||
| And then it turns out that much of the media's lies lines up with Democrats' narratives. | ||
| But it's the establishment. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So the establishment Republicans, a lot of them retired. | ||
| Some of them are still there, but for the most part, you know, Trump booted them out, brought in a bunch of new people. | ||
| And so the establishment right now is just the remnants of the Democrats and their media cohorts. | ||
| And it's obvious. | ||
| Jacobin magazine, which is the socialist magazine, wrote an article saying Democrats were spreading Russian propaganda. | ||
| That's the truth. | ||
| And I'm like, it's so weird to see the socialists and the Trump supporters in agreement on what's really happening. | ||
| Like that's waking up. | ||
| That's the red pill. | ||
| You can have Horrible political ideas, but you can understand the underlying truth of reality, the objective reality. | ||
| That the media lied the whole time, that Russiagate was fake. | ||
| It's all nonsense. | ||
| So, that's why I think, for the most part, it's a reference to, like, colloquially, for these people, you are on board for Trump. | ||
| You're wearing a MAGA hat. | ||
| You're, like, totally on board. | ||
| Not necessarily. | ||
| It could just be that community. | ||
| But I think, for the most part, You can just say this, like, red-pilled is the cultural right and wokeness is the cultural left. | ||
| So... It seems that way, yeah. | ||
| For Elon Musk, he basically just told the world, join the culture war on the right. | ||
| That's what he basically said, whether he realizes it or not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's amazing. | |
| Well, he's been ragging on all the Democrats for a while now. | ||
| Well, they've been giving him a hard time. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| In Alameda County, right? | ||
| That's why, you know, I can say it. | ||
| I don't know if he knows what he's actually saying. | ||
| Maybe he does. | ||
| Because he wants to leave California. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's getting attacked by Democrats. | ||
| That Lorena Gonzalez woman who said, F you. | ||
| And he said, message received. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So maybe he was like, take the red pill. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| F these people. | ||
| I don't see why he wouldn't leave California. | ||
| Didn't he say take both though? | ||
| It doesn't make sense. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| It's right here. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's like, when you take Dayquil and NyQuil at the same time, did you seriously just take both pills? | ||
| What the fuck? | ||
| Oh, I just swore. | ||

|
Great. | |
| Now we're in trouble. | ||
| WTF is wrong with you? | ||
| Well, there you have it, everyone. | ||

Oops. | |
| I did say earlier that we followed up with an oops. | ||
| Oops. | ||
| I know where to find it. | ||
| No worries. | ||
| We'll fix it. | ||
| We'll fix it in post. | ||
| So the next thing that happens is, you know, we have Lula Wachowski. | ||
| We have stories getting written about it. | ||
| The director was infuriated by social media banter in which Musk and Trump tweeted about the red pill. | ||
| Why? | ||
| It is banter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| I don't get it. | ||
| Yeah, who cares? | ||
| Why do you care? | ||
| At all? | ||
| If Lily Wachowski, like, shared a skate video of mine, I wouldn't care. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'd be like, eff you, don't share my skate videos from a long time ago! | ||
| Harumph! | ||
| Why would I care? | ||
| This is a classic case of virtue signaling. | ||
| I'm afraid. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It's serious. | ||
| They, uh, she, Florbo, Florbo wants a little piece of the action. | ||
| That's, that's what I've, I see there. | ||
| That's all I see. | ||
| I'm relevant again. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And I'm a woman. | ||
| They're referencing the Matrix. | ||
| I want a piece of that. | ||
| Those are two famous people that are out there. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Let me get a piece. | ||
| I'm sorry, but it gets better. | ||
| Oh, great. | ||
| How could it get better? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my god! | |
| Oh no! | ||
| Oh, come on. | ||
| from the New Statesman. | ||
| Why we should be worried that Ivanka Trump has taken the red pill. | ||
| Oh, come on. | ||
| The US president's daughter has confirmed that she, in common with others on the political fringes, | ||
| denies widely accepted truths about society. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Dude. | ||
| Donald Trump. | ||
| Oh, I can't wait to hear what they have to say about this. | ||
| Wait, wait, Donald Trump tweeted a video several times now of a reporter in Long Island who was getting yelled at by Trump supporters saying you're fake news. | ||
| And CNN Brian Stalter writes this article about what happened and the opening line is something like, I've written a lot about far-right radicalization, but this video, like, exemplifies it better than anything. | ||
| I'm like, wait, you mean a bunch of suburban, Long Island, middle-aged individuals complaining about media lying is far-right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If they're coming out in uniforms preaching about traditionalism in a free market, I might consider that far-right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But these are just regular people holding signs saying you're fake news or whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And CNN's like, they're far—so, these people are so far left, the meme, is that they're all the way in the far left. | ||
| So everything to the right of the, you know, the authoritarian far left. | ||
| Everything that isn't them, basically. | ||
| Is far right. | ||
| Yeah, that's exactly it. | ||
| When you're so far left, moderate is fringe. | ||
| Here's the best part, right? | ||
| Sarah Meneves, this woman who wrote this. | ||
| This is such a great example of fake news. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| What truths has she not accepted simply by saying the word taken? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She may have just been like, woohoo, it's a meme, it's funny, we're in the Matrix, and she might have no idea what it means. | ||
| But they write, based off one word taken, that it means everything. | ||
| Oh, it's alt-right? | ||
| Oh my. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| Ivanka admits it! | ||
| It's already too much. | ||
| Here's what she writes. | ||
| On Sunday afternoon, just days after the birth of his seventh child, the billionaire technology entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted to his audience of 34 million followers to take the red pill. | ||
| The term is popular in internet communities such as the alt-right and the manosphere. | ||
| What is a manosphere? | ||
| I'm so confused. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| That's what I was talking about earlier. | ||
| The traditional men thing. | ||
| Kind of, kind of. | ||
| Manosphere is a different thing. | ||
| But what if I said, take the red pill. | ||
| The term is popular in internet communities that are big fans of the Matrix. | ||
| I could frame it that way, too. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Clearly manipulating people because, well, it is. | ||
| The red pill is a reference to the Matrix. | ||
| Neo is offered the choice between the blue pill and the red pill, blah blah blah. | ||
| The phrase has come to mean rejecting widely accepted truths. | ||
| No, it doesn't. | ||
| Particularly those that relate to equality between races, genders, and social groups. | ||
| No, it doesn't. | ||
| Way to slap that in there. | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
| Seriously, just slip it in. | ||
| She's like, I'll just make all of this stuff up. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa now. | ||
| Calm it down over there. | ||
| Like a pill, yeah, you know. | ||
| Choosing an alternative narrative about society. | ||
| Such narratives lean, in many cases, towards racism, misogyny, and other highly controversial beliefs. | ||
| While this is not true of every single person who would consider themselves red-pilled, the members of pretty much every alt-right group that you might have heard of incels, neo-nazis, eco-fascists, ...will often consider themselves to have awakened in this way to their fringe theories and socially unaccepted beliefs. | ||
| Awakened, literally the word woke references you and the exact same thing you're talking about. | ||
| Also, alt-right groups include eco-fascists? | ||
| Eco-fascists? | ||
| That was my question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is that? | |
| What? | ||
| What are eco-fascists? | ||
| I mean, I know who they are, but what? | ||
| Like the Earth Liberation Front? | ||
| They're not alt-right? | ||
| The Earth Liberation Front. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Maybe they were playing Final Fantasy VII. | ||
| I don't know what they're doing. | ||
| Holy cow, they're on something. | ||
| There's some eco-terrorists in there. | ||
| So then she tells us, what is this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who cares? | |
| This is nonsense. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| This is the best part. | ||
| She's lost me. | ||
| I love this. | ||
| It's such a good example of how fake news works. | ||
| All Ivanka did was say, taken. | ||
|
unidentified
|
One word. | |
| That's it. | ||
| There's a red rose there. | ||
| Was it a red pill about being a socialist, maybe? | ||
| I could argue that. | ||
| Or that she heard that taking a red pill means you voted for Trump, and she's like, well, of course. | ||
| Of course I did! | ||
| Or she just thought of a reference to the Matrix and didn't know what it meant. | ||
| True. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| And so here's what we get. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| Is that still a thing? | ||
| Are they still trying to do this? | ||
| children are familiar with and perhaps sympathetic to some of the more radical | ||
| internet communities. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| Is that the first time that Trumps have employed the language of the alt-right? | ||
| Is that still a thing? | ||
| Like are they still trying to do this, the alt-right? | ||
| Donald Jr. | ||
| I think it's the left trying to convince everybody that they still are around. | ||
| That the alt-right exists. | ||
| I mean, I'm sure they're still around, yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm talking about the media. | ||
| All I'm seeing so far is her trying to convince the group around her that everybody that isn't left with them is alt-right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That's what this seems like. | ||
| Donald Jr. | ||
| has liked and retweeted controversial internet figures. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So just Mike Cernovich and Alex Jones. | |
| While Eric Trump infamously used the antisemitic internet term shekels in an interview on Fox News. | ||
| I didn't even hear about that. | ||
| It's literally a reference to Israeli money. | ||
| Isn't that what it is though? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Shekels? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But that's all it's ever been. | ||
| Hints, clues. | ||
| You watch Rick and Morty? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In Rick and Morty, they go to a bar where they have shmeckles. | ||
| Shmeckles. | ||
| Is Rick and Morty giving alt-right dog whistles? | ||
| Don't give them that idea, Tim. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Well, now that they heard it from the source. | ||
|
unidentified
|
From here, heard it here first. | |
| Wait, yeah, this is ridiculous. | ||
| Subreddits, 4chan, blah blah blah. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| This tweet from Ivanka suggests... No, no, it suggests nothing. | ||
| She said the word taken. | ||
| We have no idea what she meant, what it means, we can assume... | ||
| A lot of things. | ||
| But you wrote, what, what is this, 500 words? | ||
| That's pretty impressive. | ||
| About your interpretation of the alt-right and eco-fascism based on her saying the word taken. | ||
| She's gotta earn her money. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| This is insane. | ||
| And she's throwing 4chan in there. | ||
| She probably put... | ||
| Eco-fascist. | ||
| Everything's in there. | ||
| She brought anything that she could shove into this to, like, paint the picture. | ||
| She gotta pat it. | ||
| Gotta make the right length. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I'm just imagining she's, like, she's in the writing kitchen, just, like, smiling, do-do-do, and, like, sprinkling in alt-right. | ||
| And they're, like, whatcha makin'? | ||
| She's, like, Ivanka tweeted one single word, so I'm just gonna mix all of these things together and then, I don't know. | ||
| See what happens? | ||
| Put it in the oven, see what comes out. | ||
| We'll get some clicks. | ||
| I'm gonna call it the woke pie. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| It'll be nice, yeah. | ||
| Her capacity to normalize dangerous, offensive, and willfully perverse ideologies should not be underestimated. | ||
| Simply by using their language, she takes what belongs on the murkier corners of the internet and gives it the presidential seal of approval. | ||
| This is awesome. | ||
| I applaud this. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| I am jealous. | ||
| They get to write this stuff? | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| She gets paid to do this? | ||
| Look at her picture. | ||
| She loves herself too. | ||
| She's doing the exact same pose as Ivanka, and I'm here for it. | ||
| Oh my gosh, she is! | ||
| The exact same pose. | ||
| Is this some kind of dog whistle? | ||
| Whoa, I didn't even see that at first. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah, I love it so much. | ||
| Did she choose that photo on purpose? | ||
| Man, they look alike, actually. | ||
| They actually do. | ||
| It's kind of creepy. | ||
| I'm loving it. | ||
| Maybe it's just jealousy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it might be. | |
| And like, but here's the other question, too. | ||
| Like, what did Milani ever do to anybody? | ||
| She didn't even say anything. | ||
| She speaks like eight languages. | ||
| She's like so nice. | ||
| She's so polished. | ||
| But they just really go after her. | ||
| And the only time you ever see her, she's just like sitting there smiling, like doing nothing. | ||
| She's reading books to kids. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| She made a tennis court. | ||
| Did she? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is that like one of the controversies? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| They complained that she had made plans to put a tennis court at the White House. | ||
| It's like, so? | ||
| How dare she? | ||
| This is how you know. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| She's the first lady. | ||
| She could do that. | ||
| Like, okay. | ||
| And Trump should get the exercise to be honest. | ||
| This is the perfect example of what Trump derangement syndrome is. | ||
| Like how much they hate Ivanka and she says one word and they're like they make this whole world up about what's really going on and it's like I mean you made all that up dude. | ||
| That article was 100% BS. | ||
| I mean, she didn't pull any facts out at all. | ||
| I didn't see anything. | ||
| It was just, we can assume that she did all of this. | ||
| I figured it out. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Tim figured it out. | ||
| Enlighten us, Tim. | ||
| I don't think there actually is a human being named Sarah Meneves. | ||
| Oh yeah? | ||
| Oh! | ||
| It is a drawing. | ||
| It's a drawing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true. | |
| It does not look very real. | ||

|
It's a drawing. | |
| This, in my opinion, is an AI designed to write articles. | ||
| S-J-W-A-I. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Well, leftists. | ||
| So what they do is, all the words are already pre-programmed in. | ||
| All right, ecofascists. | ||
| That's why ecofascists made no sense. | ||
| Because the computer is just mashing words together. | ||
| That's all it is. | ||
| This seriously feels like every single thing they could have shoved in there, they did. | ||
| Are the words dog whistle in there? | ||
| No, I don't. | ||
| Oh, actually, maybe. | ||
| Did they type it in? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| I want to know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Okay. | ||
| What a no dog whistle. | ||
| Sealed it for me. | ||
| Robot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Man, this is this is this is a it's impressive. | ||
| Have you did you guys read that article from Ben Smith, the New York Times? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, I saw you posted it, though. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| Ben Smith wrote a takedown. | ||
| I'm calling it a takedown. | ||
| You can't get mad at me. | ||
| Of Ronan Farrow. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Pointing out that, you know, Ronan Farrow is this hero of, you know, of journalism, I guess. | ||
| I don't want to point him on any political facts or anything. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But he broke the Weinstein story. | ||
| These big Me Too scandals. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And Ben Smith just tore him apart. | ||
| He was like, in his book, he alleges conspiracies, he can't back up. | ||
| He makes points, and then Ben's like, I fact-checked this, this is not true. | ||
| And just really tears into him. | ||
| And he points out that there's this resistance journalism. | ||
| I think this is from a previous article he wrote. | ||
| The Resistance Journalism, or maybe it's this one, where they're just conspiratorial-minded, like, they think the worst possible things, and they make things up, and it's all narrative-driven. | ||
| And one of his criticisms—I could be butchering all this, so you really should just check out the article he wrote. | ||
| It speaks better for itself, because if I'm getting it wrong, I mean no disrespect. | ||
| Ben, I know I'm getting mad at me. | ||
| But, uh, he basically says that Ronan Farrow has this desire for this cinematic quality of stories, that when you hear them, you're like, that could be a movie. | ||
| And that's a problem. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| So it's like the Weinstein thing, Harvey Weinstein. | ||
| It's like everything is exaggerated to a great deal, to a great degree. | ||
| And while the guy did do a bunch of crazy things, he even backed up one of the claims made against Matt Lauer, who got removed from his job, was not true. | ||
| So he basically debunked some of these claims made by Ronan Farrow. | ||
| And people actually lost their jobs for them? | ||
| Oh, totally, yeah. | ||
| For the lies. | ||
| Yeah, but I mean, I think there's a lot about, you know, Matt Lauer and Weinstein that are confirmed, but he points out not all of it was. | ||
| Like, one of the things he points out in this article is that Ronan Farrow alleges, basically, I'm saying basically because I don't, you know, I want to make sure the context could be opinion, but Hillary Clinton was intervening to stop his story on Harvey Weinstein. | ||
| And it was perfect. | ||
| The perfect narrative. | ||
| The seedy establishment elite protecting her friend. | ||
| And what Ben Smith uncovered was actually, I guess a lawyer for Hillary Clinton, like her companies or whatever, contacted Ronan Farrow not to pressure him to stop, to confirm if the story was real so they wouldn't do business with Weinstein. | ||
| Basically, I guess Ben verified some text messages where the guy said, | ||
| if this stuff he's saying about Harvey is true, we don't want to do business with him. | ||
| So he called and said, can you confirm this? What did Ronan Farrow write? | ||
| He called me saying he was concerned about this, clearly in an attempt to pressure me into backing off the story. | ||
| So anyway, I bring this up because this is basically what they've done, | ||
| and what the story about Ivanka Trump and the red pill is. | ||
| These outlets, they write narratives. | ||
| They get the story in their mind and then they're like, ooh, I really want to write a story about a president's daughter who's a racist eco-fascist. | ||
| Ooh, here's Ivanka, and she said the word taken? | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| Perfect, that's all I need. | ||
| And they just write it up. | ||
| That fits my narrative. | ||
| That's my in. | ||
| I got this. | ||
| I'll tell you a story, man. | ||
| I don't know if I told this story before, but I was working for Fusion. | ||
| So this is the ABC News Univision company. | ||
| I remember those days. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, Miami, you were there. | ||
| So I'm working for them, and I'm sitting in the office in New York. | ||
| I'm doing my thing, because I do video, documentary, and stuff, and I hear them doing their morning news briefing, and this one dude's like, I got a crazy story. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Apparently, on Imgur, the website, I-M-G-U-R, there's like tens of thousands of uploads of this picture of the Monopoly man, and he's got puppet strings, and it's like Facebook, and Google, and Twitter, and no one knows why all of these uploads, all of these different links, Someone's uploading all these photos. | ||
| And I'm hearing this. | ||
| And while he's talking, I Google it. | ||
| Six months ago, story resolved. | ||
| When a 404 error occurred on the website, it would auto redirect to a random file name. | ||
| It was one upload, one time. | ||
| They wrote the story. | ||
| He knew what the story was. | ||
| He didn't do any research. | ||
| He went in the meeting and said, here's what I'm gonna write. | ||
| And they said, do it. | ||
| And then he did. | ||
| And while he was pitching it, I googled it and I'm like, this is not true. | ||
| Why are they writing this? | ||
| And I told them and they were like, well, you know, we'll look into it. | ||
| I was told that at that company, they would often change articles without notice, without editing histories, without notifications, stealth editing articles, and they didn't want to say anything because they didn't want to call anyone else out because they would get called out too. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There it is, you know? | ||
| They go in the meetings and they say, what are you writing today? | ||
| I have this great story I'm going to write. | ||
| They never asked them if it was true or not. | ||
| They were like, cool, do it. | ||
| And it wasn't, it wasn't real. | ||
| I gotta say though, SJW AI sounds scary, man. | ||
| I wonder if someone- I hope it's not true. | ||
| I don't think it would be that difficult to make, an AI where you could like, load up a website, and then it's like, give us a name of someone, and we'll write some, you know, the AI will automatically generate like, calling them a bigot. | ||
| That's what this article feels like, that it was auto-generated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It doesn't, it doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| And? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And? | |
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| That also explains why she's posing the same as Ivanka with blonde hair, wearing a red dress. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Because the A.I. | ||
| saw the picture. | ||
| And had nothing else to go on. | ||
| It's the only reference it had for who the person was. | ||
| Oh my gosh, I think you might be right. | ||
| I'm kidding by the way. | ||
| I'm sort of joking. | ||
| Someone's going to clip this and they're going to be like, look at these crazy conspiracy theorists. | ||

|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| How many of you have seen the epic truth over facts? | ||
| This is, this is, this is, I'm sorry man. | ||
| I don't know if you guys watched something I did earlier. | ||
| I gotta say. | ||
| It's so funny. | ||
| This is one of the greatest trolls ever done. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And I don't know, like, you know, I don't want to say that the Trump campaign did all of it on purpose, like the outcome was just a perfect storm in some regard, but it really was a smart campaign. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Let me give you the gist. | ||
| I nailed it. | ||
| This is a website called TheTruthOverFacts.com. | ||
| When you go there, you see a very confused-looking Joe Biden. | ||
| Actually, several of them. | ||
| And it says, Joe Biden Files. | ||
| Text TRUTH to 88022 if you have any tips related to discovery of truth over facts. | ||
| Paid for by Donald J. Trump. | ||
| First, it's so obviously not real. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| It's just so difficult. | ||
| The journalists thought it was real. | ||
| They started tweeting about it. | ||
| Trump's Truth Over Facts campaign. | ||
| Ezra Klein was like, if you would have told me that Trump was going to launch a campaign called Truth Over Facts, I would have said, you know, that was unreasonable and unsubstantiated, but here we are. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| So they actually thought that was his new slogan? | ||
| Like he was doing some kind of new campaign or something? | ||
| No more MAGA. | ||
| Let's just do Truth Over Facts. | ||
| That's wonderful. | ||
| That is wonderful, I know. | ||

Rightly so. | |

| joe biden was in iowa something he said we believe in truth over facts | ||
| and everyone's are making fun of them the rightly so has a shared yet because it's crazy | ||
| how do all these political reporters not know that where have they been | ||
| Yeah, what? | ||
| What are they reporting on? | ||
| Yeah, what? | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| That's crazy, man. | ||
| That doesn't make any sense. | ||
| I can cite numerous biting gaffs off the top of my head. | ||
| Or like weird circumstances. | ||
|

|
Yeah. | |
| You got, what was it? | ||
| The thing. | ||
| Corn pop? | ||
| The thing. | ||
| Yeah, corn pop. | ||
| You know the thing. | ||
| You know the thing. | ||
| The thing. | ||
| There was the thing on stage where he turned around and put his back to the camera, and people thought he was lost, but I think he was fixing his teeth. | ||
| How about this one? | ||
| How about this one? | ||
| That was my favorite. | ||
| Yeah, that one. | ||
| You got it! | ||
| That was the easiest one to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Leg hair? | |
| you got it there was there was that one easiest one to do the 21 second clip | ||
| where he sputtered and muttered randomly on CNN it's like I if you if you point | ||
| these things out to me I'd be like I remember that leg hair yeah the leg hair | ||
| thing the kids in the cartoons about it I try to forget that part | ||
| The truth over facts thing? | ||
| One of the ones I don't want to remember. | ||
| I just learned this, though. | ||
| The Winston Churchill thing, I didn't know. | ||
| You didn't notice that? | ||
| That's embarrassing. | ||
| For those of you listening, did you know that at a PBS debate, Someone said to Joe Biden, at the end of your first term, you'll be 82. | ||
| You will be the oldest president in U.S. | ||
| history. | ||
| He says, what about Winston Churchill? | ||
| And he didn't hesitate at all. | ||
| No. | ||
| He was like, what about Winston Churchill? | ||
| And then the guy says, American history. | ||
| And he goes, American history. | ||
| Oh, I was joking. | ||
| I was making a joke. | ||
| That's a joke. | ||
| And then everyone laughs. | ||
| It's like, no, he wasn't. | ||
| No, you weren't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, he wasn't. | |
| Wow. | ||
| I don't know how I missed that one. | ||
| one thousand December. | ||
| Truth over fact. | ||
| So not only, listen, listen. | ||
| Not only did they not even know about Biden's gaffe, which to me is kind of crazy. | ||
| Like you have one job. | ||
| Your job is to cover politics and you don't even know about a high profile gaffe, which turned into a major meme that | ||
| the right was going nuts about on Twitter. | ||
| When I was on, when I was on Rogan with Dorsey and Vijay Gade and Joe, we were talking about how in 2016 left wing | ||
| journalists don't follow right wing journalists. | ||
| but right-wing journalists follow both left and right. | ||
| Right, that makes sense. | ||
| Jack said it was getting better. | ||
| Like, it's changing, it's changing. | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| I think Lydia disagrees, too. | ||
| I do. | ||
| I was making a face like this. | ||
| Yeah, that's not happening. | ||
| That is not changing. | ||
| That is not getting better. | ||
| Sorry, I make faces. | ||
| The reason, and this is proof, if you follow any conservative, you would have seen Truth or Facts light up your Twitter feed like crazy. | ||
| None of them knew what this was. | ||
| You know what gets even crazier? | ||
| Oh, enlighten us. | ||
| They didn't even Google it! | ||
| What is this? | ||
| It's like all you had to do was just type it in and this pops up and it's so obvious. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| They didn't even do that. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| You have one job. | ||
| To Google things. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| That's your job. | ||
| And I was talking about this, I don't know if I was talking about this on the last show or whatever, how, you know, one thing that I'm going to start doing soon is like a news aggregator slash fact checker. | ||
| So you have a lot of these fact checking websites where it's like you can't really navigate it. | ||
| It's a fact check. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So you're not seeing stories, you're seeing like, you know, claim, claim, claim, false, true, false. | ||
| I want to make an actual site where it's like, you know, Donald Trump launches truth over facts satirical campaign. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Mocking Joe Biden. | ||
| And then when you go into it, it shows you sources, edit history, it shows you all these other sites and what the mainstream media is saying to give you an actual understanding of what's happening. | ||
| I actually think there's been a few chat comments randomly that I've caught. | ||
| People are asking for this. | ||
| For you to make this. | ||
| Isn't it crazy? | ||
| So you gotta do it man. | ||
| Hold on, listen, listen. | ||
| It makes sense in this climate, in this world that we've got. | ||
| It's like, we need this. | ||
| That's the plan, that's the plan. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| The next plan is, I'm gonna eventually, we need a space. | ||
| But then the goal is to get several people. | ||
| And what we'll do is there'll be big high profile stories today, probably all this, | ||
| a lot of the stories that I do commentary on. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And we're going to fact like I do a fact check on most of these stories anyway. | ||
| To some, to varying degrees. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then we'll have a breakdown of like, we've confirmed this story from these | ||
| different sources, all independently confirming it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then we'll show the edit history and we'll explain like, here's what happened. | ||
| But also, there will be, like, an analysis, like, in the Truth Over Fact story, journalists were clueless as to what really happened, and it'll be something to that effect. | ||
| But the point that I'm bringing up, and why I think this is crazy, why do we need that website? | ||
| We can't even trust the news articles the news companies write because they don't fact check any of it. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| One of the guys who tweeted, it was a long tweet, he was like, what is this? | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| You don't trust facts anymore? | ||
| What is Trump trying to say? | ||
| Senior national correspondent for ABC News. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| How do you not know that Biden said that? | ||
| How do you not Google it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| How do you not go like, I see this thing Trump is doing. | ||
| Let me type that in real quick to Google. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, it's clearly satire. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| They don't. | ||
| That's pretty clever. | ||
| I was at Politicon a couple years ago, and there was a panel with the guy from Media Matters, David Pakman was on it, a couple other people, I don't remember who, Loren Chen, I think. | ||
| And we all asked, it was a Q&A session, and I went up and asked, how are we supposed to trust these outlets when they don't even have fact-checkers anymore? | ||
| They've fired them all and they don't do it. | ||
| And I got a really awful response, but it was funny because it was supposed to be like a fake news panel or something, and they're like, well, you know, the job of the journalist as they're writing is to fact-check the news. | ||
| And I'm like, man, you guys have no idea what you're talking about. | ||
| That's clearly not the case. | ||
| Fact-checkers are independent for a reason. | ||
| So that when a journalist writes the story, someone from a different department on a different floor makes several phone calls and says is what they're claiming true. | ||
| That way, if you have one person who's in charge of their own fact-checking, they're gonna just lie. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Or find the ones that fit what they're trying to say. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Oh, well, I found all these articles and it's like, yeah, well, are they true? | ||
| Or did you just dig your hole more, you know? | ||
| Do you remember that story about the, it was like, I think it was a German guy who won a bunch of awards. | ||
| He wrote for like Newsweek Time or like Der Spiegel. | ||
| And it turned out everything was just faked. | ||
| Yes, I do remember that. | ||
| I remember this guy, he was like one of their most esteemed reporters. | ||
| He'd been reporting for like 10 or 20 years or something. | ||
| And it turned out, yeah, every single thing he had been pulling out of thin air. | ||
| And there was absolutely no basis to it. | ||
| But he was one of their best reporters. | ||
| Here, Tim has it. | ||
| Der Spiegel says top journalists faked stories for years. | ||
| Publication says Kloss Relotius committed journalistic fraud on a grand scale. | ||
| You know what's really funny about this? | ||
| Everything. | ||
| Technically he didn't because what he did is commonplace. | ||
| Like I say it's not a grand scale. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, what do you, what do you mean? | ||
| He's just like, does everything where everyone else does. | ||
| He got caught. | ||
| That's what it really is. | ||
| Poor fool. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| Cause I remember when the story was coming out, people were like, why would a journalist make up sources and lie? | ||
| That makes no sense. | ||
| It makes absolutely no sense. | ||
| Well, when you win the, you know, what does the Pulitzer prize pay? | ||
| Like 10 grand? | ||
| It definitely pays money. | ||
| I don't know how much. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| I think it pays $10,000. | ||
| I'm going to Google it. | ||
| I got this. | ||
| It's a nice little sum of money. | ||
| Yeah, see, you can Google things. | ||
| That's how this works. | ||
| $15,000. | ||
| Not bad. | ||
| The Pulitzer Prize awarded yearly in 21 categories. | ||
| In 20 of the categories, each winner receives a certificate and a U.S. | ||
| $15,000 cash award. | ||
| Raised from $10,000. | ||
| Adjusted for inflation. | ||
| Yeah, it went up from $10,000. | ||
| So let me tell you. | ||
| When someone writes a story and wins a Pulitzer, they put money in their pocket. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| It's so obvious why they write fake news. | ||
| You can't monetize this. | ||
| The first reason you make money, man. | ||
| Sweet, sweet, Skrilla baby. | ||
| You write a fake story, Adam Kregler does a triple backflip off the back porch. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| One million views. | ||
| Good job, Adam. | ||
| Adam will fact check this for us. | ||
| Triple. | ||
| Triple. | ||
| Quadruple. | ||
| The best triple backflip you've ever seen. | ||
| Onto a skateboard. | ||
| While kickflipping. | ||
| Into a ramp. | ||
| I kickflipped as I spun. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| And he did it because he was saving a falling puppy. | ||
| A falling kitty. | ||
| A falling kitten. | ||
| And a puppy. | ||
| Both. | ||
| I had it in both hands. | ||
| So here, you write a story like that. | ||
| Can someone do that picture, please? | ||
| You do a ridiculous picture, you fit the narrative, they're clever about it, but you'll get all these hits, you sell all these ads, you make all this money, and then the next day you say, oopsie. | ||
| Oops. | ||
| We did an oopsie! | ||
| Listen, by triple backflip catching the dog and a cat, I meant I fell. | ||
| No, no, it was in a video game. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| It was in a video game. | ||
| Oh, you did do it, but it was a video game. | ||
| But there was a cat in my hand while I was playing. | ||
| I was petting Goku. | ||
| It's not so overt. | ||
| They won't write a story where it's like, you know, Adam did a triple backflip. | ||
| They'll write something more believable. | ||
| Like you saw with the New Statesman article. | ||
| I was just saying, talking about Ivanka, it wasn't saying anything for certain. | ||
| There was no facts that she even spoke of. | ||
| It was just assumptions and hearsay. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| A bunch of nothingness. | ||
| I got a good one for you. | ||
| Oh, good. | ||
| So I have a Google Alert set up for various things, including myself. | ||
| And I get notifications when people write stories about me. | ||
| One of them was a journalistic advisory website, and it was written by this left-wing activist posing as a journalist who tried to get the Proud Boys banned from their banking institution. | ||
| Successfully, actually, did get the Proud Boys banned. | ||
| She had sent an email to Chase Bank saying something to the effect of like, why are you providing support for these groups or something? | ||
| It's like, providing support is such an awful way to phrase someone opened a bank account at one of your branches. | ||
| It's like a ridiculous thing to say. | ||
| You mean that thing that anyone can do? | ||
| Yeah, it was a merchant account, so it was like, there's probably tens of millions of them, the company had no idea. | ||
| Well, they purged the Proud Boys, like, the guy's personal account. | ||
| It wasn't even a Proud Boy account, they closed down his personal account. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| So she writes, and she writes, you know, like, how to deal with hate speech in this thing, and then she says, let me give you an example from my own history, when, you know, far-right-adjacent blogger Tim Poole, a popular YouTuber, you know, published an email of mine, blah blah blah, and I'm like, what does far-right-adjacent mean? | ||
| Does that mean right wing? | ||
| Does that mean just regular right wing? | ||
| Why would you write far right adjacent instead of right? | ||
| Adjacent means next to. | ||
| I think it means you're in the center, which is next to the right. | ||
| Right, it's next to the right, yeah. | ||
| You're also far left adjacent then, at the same time, because you're in the middle. | ||
| Yeah, but we don't talk about that. | ||
| The right is adjacent to center right and far right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So if you're far right adjacent, the only thing you could possibly be is right. | ||
| There's nowhere further to go. | ||
| So the reason she wrote far right adjacent is to make it sound more ominous. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A far right adjacent popular YouTuber. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Libertarian socialist Tim Pool. | ||
| Social liberal, all that jazz. | ||
| Because I don't like the Democrats. | ||
| She does that because it's shocking, it's a narrative. | ||
| It'll be like, ooh, prestige and allure, this crazy story. | ||
| Add some flair. | ||
| Yeah, seriously. | ||
| But that's it, right? | ||
| A story about you being called out for malfeasance and wrongdoing? | ||
| That's not gonna get you a lot of clicks. | ||
| But if you're being attacked by a hate mob sparked by far-right adjacent blogger... | ||
| Now we're talking, and it's technically not untrue. | ||
| It's her opinion masquerading as fact. | ||
| And it makes her a victim. | ||
| So what the journalists can do is... I love framing devices. | ||
| My favorite one is hydroxic acid. | ||
| Yeah, this is great. | ||
| Yeah, so most of you already know this, but the example I give people is that Hydraxic acid is a relatively dangerous substance. | ||
| If you breathe in a little bit of it, you could die. | ||
| They use it to, like, clean down, you know, clean off, you know, metals. | ||
| It can actually eat through metal. | ||
| It's used in nuclear power plants. | ||
| And it's responsible for a lot of deaths every year. | ||
| They actually find it in cancer cells. | ||
| And then once people are all freaked out, you just say, like, you know, this is a very serious problem. | ||
| I could have written all that down as fact, but then when I tell you that it means water, hydroxic acid means water, it's the same thing as the dihydrogen monoxide hoax, but I just... Hydric acid sounds crazier in my opinion. | ||
| It sounds, you know, acid. | ||
| Ooh, scary, scary. | ||
| Here's my favorite retelling of this. | ||
| I did this video a few years ago. | ||
| This is, everything I'm about to tell you guys is the truth. | ||
| 100% true. | ||
| You're gonna love it. | ||
| You ready? | ||
| No, wait, hold on, let me adjust my seat. | ||
| Okay, I'm ready now. | ||
| Now we're ready. | ||
| Here's how I handle the framing, and I'll explain everything after I do it. | ||
| First, do you know what chemtrails are? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The planes, right? | ||
| That vapor that's coming out of them? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yeah, a lot of people think these chemtrails are nefarious. | ||
| They do a lot of things negative to us and the planes are spraying them out. | ||
| I used to work for American Eagle Airlines, which is the regional branch for American Airlines. | ||
| And we would load these planes up, but we handled baggage, right? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So I was an acting crew chief, which meant that periodically I would be in charge of whole teams. | ||
| But, you know, it's like a mix, it's like you're not quite a crew chief where you're in charge, but you're, you're one step up from a regular crew member. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And there would be people who would come out in big vehicles and pull out a hose, hook it into the plane and pump in hydroxic acid into these planes. | ||
| Now this is a chemical, it's serious, right? | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| It's hydroxic. | ||
| The truth. | ||
| Hydroxic acid is pumped into these planes. | ||
| 100% true, by the way. | ||
| 100% true. | ||
| I watched them do this, okay? | ||
| And I didn't know what the point of putting this hydroxy acid in the plane was. | ||
| And that's true. | ||
| This is true and I'll explain. | ||
| And so, this stuff is used in nuclear power plants. | ||
| It can eat through metal. | ||
| It's found in cancer cells. | ||
| If you breathe in even a little bit, you die. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And so let me tell you though, I know this for a fact. | ||
| When you see those planes flying, when you see a plane flying and you see that vapor trail coming up, that is vaporized hydroxic acid coming out the back of that plane. | ||
| The truth. | ||
| That's a fact. | ||
| That is 100% true. | ||
| It is a vapor of it. | ||
| Oh man, I'm scared. | ||
| I can confirm this, as somebody who worked for the airport. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Tim. | |
| So I did several things in here. | ||
| I used framing devices to make it sound ominous, and I used assumptive language to make you draw connections I never said. | ||
| I never said the vapor coming out of the plane was the same stuff they loaded into it. | ||
| I said, they put it in the plane, and when you look up and see it, that vapor coming out is hydroxic acid. | ||
| That makes the average person assume it's the chemical they put in the plane. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| The contrail comes from condensation and when it pulls in water vapor and then pushes it out in a vapor cloud. | ||
| So it is vaporized water. | ||
| When I said I saw people do it, I didn't know what the water was used for. | ||
| That's 100% true. | ||
| They put water in that plane, I don't know what it was for. | ||
| Because you couldn't drink it, I'm assuming it may be for washing your hands, I have no idea. | ||
| I did work there, it is dangerous. | ||
| I framed it in a way that made it scary as possible, but I left gaps in to make you assume the worst, that they were doing it for nefarious reasons. | ||
| I started the story by saying, people believe they do these things for nefarious means, to start the story off on some scary way. | ||
| Hmm, so by the time it's done. | ||
| I say I can confirm this man. | ||
| I watched them do it, and I don't know what they were doing or why But that stuff can be dangerous, and then the average person walks away saying whoa, dude That's framing. | ||
| You know what that is storytelling. | ||
| That's truth over facts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| There's a good point to be made about Truth over facts. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| I love that line. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| But I don't know if... I think it's the other way around. | ||
| Facts over truth? | ||
| Right. | ||
| That is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everything I told you was a fact, but not the truth. | |
| I was giving you facts to deceive you. | ||
| This is the craziest thing about how news operates. | ||
| So these stories, like the story we saw about Ivanka Trump. | ||
| They will tell you the truth about certain things and connect things in weird ways that make no sense. | ||
| Do you think maybe that's what Biden was actually saying? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, that we manipulate you, that we don't care for you? | ||
| Yes, that's what I'm saying. | ||
| What could he have possibly meant? | ||
| How did he gaffe? | ||
| That he heard someone else say it in what we're trying to talk about, how they use the truth and the facts to try to manipulate us. | ||
| So the truth is what they give us over the facts, what actually happened. | ||
| So he heard it and he was like, yeah, I like that line. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| I'm going to use that in the debate later. | ||
| And then says it. | ||
| With no context and everyone's like what is he talking about? | ||
| That's ridiculous now now hold on hmm to Biden's credit truth truth over facts Does mean a lot yeah, okay? | ||
| It means that you want to really give someone an objective reasonable understanding regardless of the individual facts that can be falsely misrepresenting okay to give someone a you know, so This is why I was talking about the need for like an independent aggregator and fact checker. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because you can have all of these stories be factually correct but truthfully wrong. | ||
| Like, when they take a quote from Trump, where he says something, you know, what did he say? | ||
| You're a nasty guy, you're a nasty reporter, to that one reporter from NBC or whatever. | ||
| That is a fact. | ||
| But the truth of the matter was more complex. | ||
| The guy had been goading Trump on, and no matter what Trump had said, he had countered in the opposite. | ||
| So Trump snapped and called him nasty. | ||
| If you really want someone to understand what happened and why Trump said that, the truth of the matter was actually broad. | ||
| It's funny because people thought that with YouTube, with online video, we'd have facts to prove everything. | ||
| And now it's like... So here's actually another really great example of what they've tried doing to me. | ||
| There was a story that came out and the New York Times wrote about it and Fox wrote about it. | ||
| On a live stream, I said something to the effect of, you know, someone said, which, you know, which outlet do you trust on this one? | ||
| And I said, well, I don't trust the New York Times. | ||
| I do trust the Fox story. | ||
| They took that. | ||
| It's fact. | ||
| I said it. | ||
| It's a quote. | ||
| The context was about one story. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So when they take that clip out of context, the fact is I did say it. | ||
| And they use the literal statement as opposed to what was actually trying to be conveyed. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They do with Trump all the time. | ||
| So that's a fact. | ||
| He did say that. | ||
| But it's like, the overarching truth is that the context behind it was, like, bigger. | ||
| That's the simple way to look at it is like, what out of context really means. | ||
| My question is, do you think Biden could even explain it? | ||
| No. | ||
| In a coherent sense. | ||
| I think he knew what he was talking about. | ||
| I think what he meant to say was facts over feelings. | ||
| That's what I came up with. | ||
| I'm just not really sure. | ||
| It didn't make sense at the time. | ||
| Doesn't make sense now. | ||
| I'm just glad that there's a website about it. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Oh yeah, Truth or Facts. | ||
| So look at it this way. | ||
| These people are mocking Trump for creating this campaign called Truth or Facts because they're not smart enough to understand it. | ||
| Like, first of all, it's obviously fake. | ||
| Yeah, very much so. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| This is crazy, man. | ||
| Amazingly fake. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Wait. | ||
| I texted that number and they have you send them your zip code. | ||
| And they're like, we're going to get you on board. | ||
| We're going to talk to you about President Trump. | ||
| And then they want you to take a survey about President Trump so they know exactly what you're doing. | ||
| Yeah, I've seen Trump's surveys, though. | ||
| Have you seen them? | ||
| I'm sure they are. | ||
| I got an email because I used to go to the Trump rallies to cover the 2016, 2015, 2016 campaign season, and the emails I've gotten have been like, you know, how would you rate Trump's job performance? | ||
| Good? | ||
| Great? | ||
| The best? | ||
| Other? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm like, what's the point of this? | |
| That you make people have to go out of their way to say they don't like it? | ||
| It could be anchoring, make someone click, he's doing a good job, and then they'll affirm it, like, well, I think he's doing a good job, that could be it, maybe, I don't know. | ||
| Or it's just Trump, you know, I'm the best, you know, it's always great, you know, whatever. | ||
| I have a question, though. | ||
| I've been wondering this. | ||
| We've kind of broached the subject in some of the past podcasts. | ||
| Is the left just becoming people who don't—they're not smart? | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, certainly there are smart leftists. | ||
| They're just surrounded... See, the thing is that, like you said it earlier, alright? | ||
| The left, they don't follow the right. | ||
| The right, they follow the right and the left, right? | ||
| The journalists, I'm saying. | ||
| No, but everyone does too. | ||
| Like, conservatives read liberal and conservative news. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| Moderates, same. | ||
| But the people on the left are only following their own circles. | ||
| So that breeds, like, stupidity almost, you know? | ||
| I can't think of a better word, but that's basically what I'm seeing. | ||
| It's like they didn't even watch the video. | ||
| rational person they'll laugh and be like what is this? You look down it says | ||
| paid for by Trump you're like what if they're making fun of Biden? | ||
| It's like they didn't even watch the video like what? | ||
| Well there's something that happens when you when you're talking to someone with | ||
| an opposing view that might be actually the correct view And you think something else and you, you have a debate and then you change your mind and then, Oh, okay. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Now we're on the same page. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| The people on the left, they don't like that. | ||
| It's, it's, it's almost like you said, over emotions of feelings. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's what the left is. | ||
| They're just a ball of emotions and feelings. | ||
| They don't care to hear about facts or whatever anyone else is saying because it's triggering them at a raw level. | ||
| Logic gets thrown out the window because it's all emotions at that point. | ||
| So I have this article from The Wrap and one of the things they bring up, it's hilarious because they clearly have no idea what they're talking about. | ||
| They say truth over facts branding is in line with messaging from Trump. | ||
| Kellyanne Conway invented the term alternative facts. | ||
| Like, hold on. | ||
| Truth over facts was Joe Biden's gaffe. | ||
| It's not Trump's branding. | ||
| They clearly have no idea what they're talking about, but great, fine, whatever. | ||
| When the alternative facts things happened with Kellyanne Conway, I immediately heard her say that and I went, okay. | ||
| And then a bunch of people were like, I can't believe they believe they're alternative facts. | ||
| Like, there are. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| So, if I do a study that says, you know, coffee causes cancer, I say, fact, a study proves this causes cancer. | ||
| And then you say, hold on, I got a study that says it prevents cancer. | ||
| Fact, a study proves cancer doesn't cause cancer, or suggests, or, you know, found. | ||
| If I said that a study found coffee causes cancer, that's a fact. | ||
| A study found that. | ||
| If I say a study found that coffee prevents cancer, fact. | ||
| A study did find that. | ||
| So you do have alternative facts. | ||
| It's semantic, I guess. | ||
| So it depends on, you know, who do you trust? | ||
| So immediately, you know, someone tweeted this, there's no such thing, and I responded with like, what about conflicting studies? | ||
| And there's like no answer. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's really the biggest thing. | ||
| It's all semantics. | ||
| Everything they have, like the whole Ivanka thing, it's like, oh, semantics, so now we can run with it and throw everything we can into it because they crossed what we believe. | ||
| It's almost like the left is emotional, so they're easily shepherded by people who are waiting for any opportunity to falsely, like, to create that lie, give them an opportunity. | ||
| Like when Donald Trump said, I don't know if we've talked about this, but during the 2016 election, he said Hillary Clinton acid-washed her server. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We all know what he meant. | ||
| He meant that she purged it. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| NBC said false. | ||
| Hillary Clinton did not use a corrosive substance on her server. | ||
| She used bleach bit. | ||
| It's like, no one thought that's what Trump meant. | ||
| Did you really think that? | ||
| Are you dumb? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then they're catering to all the left that are also dumb. | ||
| That believe that kind of stuff. | ||
| I think. | ||
| So, there was a graph that I've tweeted out several times. | ||
| Conservatives tend to read mostly conservative news, and around 30-35% is liberal news. | ||
| Moderates tend to read the inverse, around 60% liberal sources and 35% conservative sources. | ||
| Still both. | ||
| Liberals, 95% liberal sources. | ||
| I wonder if that's actually not correlation but causation, that because liberals only read liberal news, they're liberal. | ||
| If a person reads mostly liberal stuff but some conservative, they'll be moderate. | ||
| If a person only reads conservative, they'll be conservative. | ||
| Or even if they read mostly conservative, and if a person reads only liberal, they'll be liberal. | ||
| It's really funny, then, that you actually have conservative and moderates mostly, you know, agreeing and disagreeing on some policy issues, but, like, getting along. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because that's, like, the left. | ||
| But then you have the liberal faction of people who just read the left. | ||
| So I wonder if, over time, what we're seeing is the two groups that are forming, right? | ||
| So you know the walk-away campaign. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You've got a lot of people who were formerly Democrats now leaving, joining the Republicans, voting for Trump, or just leaving the Democratic Party. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Over time, it's like, it's like watching, you ever see one of those Plinko things? | ||
| You know, you know Plinko is from... Oh, of course, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's a, it's a, the price is right where all the little pegs are and then you drop the thing and it bounces around. | ||
| And if you drop them evenly, they start distributing in different ways. | ||
| It feels like there are some, you know, some people who are really dumb and some people who are, you know, moderately smart or inquisitive at the very least, and so when you drop them into this machine where the left is fake news that any reasonable person will question, and the right has a bunch of, you know, hyperbolic conservative opinion, you end up with a bunch of people saying, that's a lie, that's their opinion i'm okay with their opinion i disagree | ||
| i'll go read this and then you have the dump people being like dirt that's | ||
| the truth work that's the truth | ||
| so the dumb people are being filtered the dumb section yeah basically was it | ||
| if people are arguing over the opinions of people and enlightening themselves | ||
| essentially well they're being forced to argue the yeah And that's how you become more enlightened. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| Disgusting. | ||
| Even if you end up being right in the long run, you still had to prove your point. | ||
| You can still pick up bad ideas. | ||
| Learning more about it. | ||
| You can still pick up bad ideas. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| But it's an issue of, do I blindly just believe whatever I'm told? | ||
| Actually, it's not even that. | ||
| The truth over facts is the perfect explanation. | ||
| The perfect example. | ||
| Take two people. | ||
| One person is of average intelligence, moderately inquisitive, and they see this and they go, what is this? | ||
| Like, truth over facts? | ||
| Why does Biden look so dumb? | ||
| Oh, Donald Trump paid for it. | ||
| Is this like Trump making fun of Biden? | ||
| Then you take a dumb person and they go, duh, Joe Biden? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa, that's crazy. | |
| Whoa, that's a Joe Rogan quote. | ||
| Oh, you know what I mean. It was way too close, man. | ||
| What I mean is you show someone this Ivanka New Statesman article. Mm-hmm. A reasonable person is gonna be like, | ||
| But she only tweeted the word taken like what? Those are only sources. Elon Musk isn't a white supremacist. This | ||
| doesn't make sense. | ||
| No, it makes no sense. Let me google this. And there's no other facts, nothing else. | ||
| Let me look. This is a silly article. A reasonable person says like I'm gonna ask someone about this. | ||
| Did you see that story about Elon? Is that true? That sounds weird. | ||
| I don't know if I believe that. | ||
| Then you get the other person and they go, what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's a Nazi. | |
| I knew it. | ||
| And everyone that's taken the red pill is also a Nazi. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And I knew that too. | ||
| And an eco-fascist. | ||
| And then, yes! | ||
| Here's the best part. | ||
| The dumb people go on Twitter, and they wiggle their arms and they're going, blublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublubl And then people like me, and like you, and like Lydia, and the walk-away people are like, no! | ||
| Stop, please! | ||
| Why are you doing that wavy turkey thing? | ||
| I don't even know. | ||
| The wavy turkey thing? | ||
| Yeah, I can't do it as well as you can. | ||
| They just start running around the room with their arms wiggling in the air. | ||
| Yeah, that. | ||
| Yes, that. | ||
| They have no idea what's going on, what they're talking about. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| So you end up with people having no choice, but like, if you've got one person on the | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mhm. | |
| left and it's like, why should I appoint you? | ||
| And they're going, well, I'll lie to you. | ||
| I'm lying to all of them. | ||
| Or it's like, they just lie to you and you're like, but you're, you're lying. | ||
| And then you go to the right and they're like, here are my opinions. | ||
| And I'm like, I don't like those opinions, but you're telling me the truth. | ||
| They're just your opinion. | ||
| I appreciate the truth. | ||
| I can't get over how close they look together now. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
| I can't get it out of my head. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| For anyone who missed this segment earlier, this is insane. | ||
| They look exactly the same. | ||
| The author and the bunker. | ||
| This woman, wearing a red dress with blonde hair, hand on the chin, and they did this photo, it's like the same thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's wearing a red dress, she's blonde, hands on her chin. | |
| We should write a whole article about how that, right there, this, right here. | ||
| That is a dog whistle. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, look at Ivanka. | |
| You're all right, Sarah. | ||
| She's doing the same thing. | ||
| Manavis. | ||
| Oh, who knew? | ||
| Manavis? | ||
| Oh, is that whatever it is? | ||
| Manavis? | ||
| Manavis. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Whatever sounds cooler, I guess. | ||
| Or sounds stupider. | ||
| I see M-A-N-A. | ||
| I think Mana. | ||
| Because of Final Fantasy and stuff. | ||
| Is this the weirdest thing ever? | ||
| The big question, and we can wrap this up and jump over the chats, is does she know what she's doing? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I think the answer is yes. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yeah, 100%. | ||
| Definitely does. | ||
| Just going through the lexicon of terms. | ||
| Because this article is one of those things that all the people on the left are like, oh yeah, share this, man. | ||
| Did you read about that? | ||
| It shelters the stupid people to the left. | ||
| Yeah, it does. | ||
| It really does. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| It sure is. | ||
| Yeah, it's not even that if like... | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| I don't want to drag anyone personally, but there have been some really dumb tweets from leftists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do it. | |
| Do it. | ||
| Drag them. | ||
| And there have been some really dumb tweets from conservatives. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| But it's... Like, right now, one of the things that's... It's just so... It's just so obvious, man. | ||
| Well, actually, this is the next segment we're gonna do. | ||
| And so I'll point this out, and then we'll... We'll jump over to the next segment. | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| Okay, here it is. | ||
| Oh, yes. | ||
| Believe all women is a right-wing trap. | ||
| You've gotta have the memory of a goldfish. | ||
| Yeah, basically. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| What? | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| There's so much to unpack here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, exactly. | |
| All the Women is not a right-wing trap. | ||
| How feminists got stuck answering for a canard. | ||
| They argue that the right made the phrase up. | ||
| What? | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| What? | ||
| There's so much to unpack here. | ||
| That was the rallying cry of the Me Too movement. | ||
| We all know it. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It was a year ago. | ||
| It was a year and a half ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| But you know what, man? | ||
| It's like I was saying, you get people who are really dumb and have no memory, and they go, whoa! | ||
| They'll believe it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're right. | |
| Yep, they believe that now. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And Google's not a thing, apparently. | ||
| Alright, we're going to jump over to Super Chats. | ||
| But this is the next segment we're going to do. | ||
| They're actually trying to claim that believe all women is a right-wing thing. | ||
| Oh, it's silly. | ||
| It's silliness. | ||
| This is crazy, man. | ||
| That one was real. | ||
| It really is crazy. | ||
| Legit. | ||
| Super chat time. | ||
| What up, everybody? | ||
| For those that have just tuned in or weren't here in the beginning, because it's a slow both of them over time. | ||
| Hop into the Super Chat. | ||
| Post your comments. | ||
| Give us money. | ||

| We can't get to everybody, and I apologize to everybody. | ||
| We have, you know, just about close to 11,000 people watching right now. | ||
| Oh, nice. | ||
| What up, everybody? | ||
| We end up with hundreds of Super Chats, and it would be physically impossible to actually read them all, so we try our best to read as many as we can, and then if it goes too long, we just start, you know, speeding up. | ||
| But also, if you haven't, hit that like button. | ||
| And I sincerely do request you do. | ||
| Apparently, it helps a whole lot if it takes two seconds. | ||
| If not, you don't have to. | ||
| Fine, you know. | ||
| But also, share the podcast if you like it. | ||
| We're on iTunes as well. | ||
| Check us out on iTunes and I think Spotify and a bunch of other platforms. | ||
| And follow me. | ||
| Follow me right there. | ||
| And also, don't forget. | ||
| Yeah, follow Adam. | ||
| He's over there. | ||
| Instagram, Twitter, YouTube. | ||
| Because you can send him the stories, story ideas, and then we actually do them on the show. | ||
| So this is where you guys can send story ideas, things you want us to talk about. | ||
| And you can follow me to see, I don't know, pictures of cats or something. | ||
| Yes, the best pictures. | ||
| Or if you follow me on Twitter, you can see me complaining all the time about the media. | ||
|

|
Good stuff. | |
| Solid. | ||
| But now we will read Super Chats. | ||
| IBeRippin'Em is back, saying, Tim Pool, what would you do if you ran into your arch enemy, Tim Foosball? | ||
| Would it be a fight on sight type of thing? | ||
| Tim Foosball? | ||
| Yeah, like a pool table. | ||
| So it'd be kind of like Peter Griffin and the giant chicken? | ||
| No, we'd team up. | ||
| Yeah, they sure would. | ||
| A surprising twist. | ||
| I would have him take over half my shifts so I could finally take a break. | ||
| It's kind of like a pool table where you can flip it over and it's a foosball table. | ||
| A pool table. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Not bad. | ||
| King Canuck says, sent at 7.58. | ||
| People have forgotten rule one of online discussion. | ||
| Don't feed the trolls. | ||
| I don't know what you have lined up, but I'm here for it. | ||
| Singing videos. | ||
| We might do music on Fridays. | ||
| We'll see how things play out. | ||
| Yep, I think so. | ||
| GM says, let's have at Timcast for a bit. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| Chuck says, strawberry patch Lydia needs more camera time. | ||
| Well, she controls it. | ||
| That's true, I do. | ||
| Ha ha ha. | ||
| Salon Blue says, man, how do you deal with the haters without them living in your head rent free? | ||
| I need to be more like Adam and you. | ||
| Um, I just never cared. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How did it was like gain that ability? | ||
| It wasn't always true, but over time I just kinda. | ||
| I have a lot of friends that I've learned this mantra from, and their mentality of live in the now, live for yourself, and do your own research. | ||
| And it's just kind of like, there's a-holes everywhere, I can't say the actual word, but they're out there. | ||
| True, they are mean people. | ||
| They're out there. | ||
| Mean people exist no matter what you do, no matter how good you are, no matter how terrible you are. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| And you gotta just learn that they are gonna exist. | ||
| And just remember that it's your choice whether or not to listen to them or not. | ||
| Just ignore everybody. | ||
| Why does it matter? | ||
| What do they do? | ||
| Are they gonna show up to my house? | ||
| I mean, one guy did one time, but no, I don't care. | ||
| Are they gonna mail me something? | ||
| I don't know, whatever. | ||
| Focus on the non-haters. | ||
| For every ten haters, there's one that's a cool person. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Boom. | ||
| It's skateboarding. | ||
| Is it skateboarding? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Here's what I was told when I was a lot younger skating. | ||
| Maybe it is. | ||
| When you're about to do a trick and you're scared, you think, what's the worst that can happen? | ||
| And usually it's like, I might fall down and hurt my arm or something. | ||
| It's like, that's not so bad, is it? | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So if you hurt your arm, then you just... What's the worst that's gonna happen, honestly? | ||
| Depending on the trick I'm trying, maybe I'll break my arm or something, and then for like a few weeks, I won't be skating as hard. | ||
| I thought the worst thing in the world... | ||
| Some tricks are just, like, I might sprain my ankle, I guess. | ||
| The worst possible thing. | ||
| So I've always been like, you know what? | ||
| The worst thing that could happen, it's not really that big of a deal in terms of, like, life. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So what's the worst thing that's gonna happen with someone tweeting stupid things at me? | ||
| Literally nothing. | ||
| So I don't care. | ||
| I think it relates to also, we're kind of lacking a purpose, humans in general. | ||
| I mean, you know, we're kind of drones now, living lives, not really, there's not like one huge communal thing that we're working towards as a group, a community. | ||
| So this online connectivity that we have now, It almost feels like we're part of it, but then it's like public shaming that we're not asking for. | ||
| It's like, oh, I'm being publicly shamed. | ||
| Like, why? | ||
| You know, what is this? | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| And it's like, right. | ||
| There's these, you got to just remember, like we just said, there will always be people that want to shame people that are shamed and are affected by it. | ||
| So the more you're affected by it, the more you're going to be targeted also. | ||
| So you got to remember, just block it out. | ||
| There's some funny things. | ||
| I want to point this out. | ||
| One of the things that whenever some lefties will tweet, and this is what really bothers me about the cultural left, they're not arguing, they're just insulting. | ||
| So that's one of the reasons why I think they're grifting and they're not legit, but I'll tweet and someone will say something like, Pim Tool, and I'm like, listen, listen, it doesn't mean anything. | ||
| I don't know what I'm supposed to feel from it. | ||
| Is it supposed to be like a dig or something? | ||
| But they do it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't care because it does nothing. | ||
| The next funniest thing is they tell me I'm bald. | ||
| I know I'm bald! | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| It's the point! | ||
| It's like, and? | ||
| But here's the funniest part. | ||
| They post a picture of me without my hat on and I'm like, I posted that picture first! | ||
| That's on the internet! | ||
| What the heck? | ||
| I'm the one who took the picture and put it on the internet. | ||
| Why do you think I would be upset about you showing it to me? | ||
| I know. | ||
| I just love that so much. | ||
| I'm like, who do you think posted it? | ||
| I don't care! | ||
| Yeah, it's funny. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| So it's like... | ||
| You know, when it comes to the cultural right on Twitter, I see a lot of stupid things, but mostly it's like making points. | ||
| It's kind of like we were saying before about like the right will love bomb you, and the left will attack you. | ||
| When I see what the left, the cultural left, is posting on Twitter, it's like replying to Trump complaining, calling him stupid, calling him ridiculous. | ||
| And then the comments are all like, what a moron, what an idiot. | ||
| And then when I reply, they'll say, you're stupid, you're bald, you're a moron, pimp tool, and I'm like, I don't even know what that is. | ||
| Do you think I care? | ||
| I've been in war zones. | ||
| You can call me whatever you want. | ||
| You can literally call me a bald cuck named Susan. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I really don't. | ||
| But some people really do. | ||
| It's the cultural left, right? | ||
| That's why they want to ban hate speech. | ||
| That's why they want to ban voice chat. | ||
| Because they easily get triggered by what other people think about them. | ||
| Yep, that's true. | ||
| Maybe that's another big factor in what separates the left and the right. | ||
| Not policy, but whether or not you really care what other people think. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Well, let's read more Super Chats. | ||
| The Woot Man says, did you see Brett Weinstein call you out? | ||
| Question mark, question mark, question mark. | ||
| The answer is no. | ||
| I have no idea what that's about. | ||
| I think you mentioned someone tweeting at you about it. | ||
| I saw it, you know, but it's interesting. | ||
| We used what he said as the reason. | ||
| Well, hold on, hold on before you say that. | ||
| I have no idea what he said. | ||
| Oh, OK. | ||
| Well, we read one of his tweets on our episode last week. | ||
| And basically he said that he wasn't calling. | ||
| Did you listen to the podcast where he said anything? | ||
| I haven't listened to the podcast, but people are saying that he was upset that we basically lied, but we read his tweet verbatim. | ||
| We had it up on the screen. | ||
| We read it. | ||
| It's basically talking about vitamin D and COVID-19 versus the, you know, going out and getting sun. | ||
| But here's the problem. | ||
| Did he really say we lied or did someone else claim that he said that? | ||
| I don't know. I don't know. I'll tell you what people are asking about it. So this is why I | ||
| Don't care because Brett has me on DM and he has my email and I've done numerous videos with him | ||
| And if he had an issue be like, hey Tim just wanted to mention this and I bet I will clear it up | ||
| He didn't I know but but my point remains we didn't even we just used what he said as our | ||
| Argument, but we don't know what he said That's the problem. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| We know what his tweet said. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Anything after our episode, whatever anyone is saying about him calling us out, it's irrelevant because we didn't say that. | ||
| He said that we should all be out and about. | ||
| We used his phrase of using this, getting vitamin D from the sun, that we were like, yeah, see, this doctor said we're getting vitamin D. We should go out. | ||
| The point I'm making is I don't even know why that's relevant at all. | ||
| For all I know, Bret Weinstein said Tim's awesome. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| He never sent me any messages about anything. | ||
| Well, a lot of people are tweeting at me about it too, so I'm assuming something was said, but you're right. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I didn't see the podcast myself. | ||
| See, here's the thing. | ||
| People always try to start drama. | ||
| I've had tons of people hitting me up being like, dude, you better respond to this video about you. | ||
| And I'm like, I'm gonna block you if you send me those things. | ||
| No, I'm not going to. | ||
| That's why I don't believe it. | ||
| I don't know what he said. | ||
| Maybe he did. | ||
| Maybe he didn't. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| But he can PM you. | ||
| I've been to his house. | ||
| I've done interviews with him. | ||
| We did a documentary about his... So if he was really upset, he'd hit you up? | ||
| You just be like, hey Tim, how's it going? | ||

| I think he's saying there's life outside the tribes. | ||
| Did he really say that, though? | ||
| I don't think he's... No, it was the... You pulled it up. | ||
| It was the meme. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, yeah, he just said, when you take Dayquil and Iqal at the same time. | ||
| I don't think he was saying that he actually did. | ||
| No, that's just, uh... Israfel says, how's it going, all you dog-faced pony soldiers? | ||

| Oh, what game? | ||
| Robin says, how do I join? | ||
| Do I do it on Timcast? | ||
| No join here. | ||
| Joining is, we used to have it, like we would post for members, the stream, but now we just post for everybody because we put it up on iTunes and stuff. | ||
| So if you'd like to and to be a member, you can go to youtube.com slash Timcast IRL slash join, and that should work. | ||

| That's great. | ||
| Fart sausage. | ||
| Has anyone taken into account that treason is an act of war? | ||
| BAR only deals with criminal indictments. | ||
| The military deals with treason. | ||
| Treason is specifically a statute designed to penalize giving aid to American adversaries. | ||
| So if you are in this country and you did something against Trump, that would not be treason. | ||
| That would be something else. | ||
| The actual treason act is specifically about giving aid to a foreign government. | ||
| So all those professors that are selling out to China, they're all treason. | ||
| So we're not officially enemies with China right now, and that's why they're doing wire fraud and stuff. | ||
| But if we were at war with China, those people would likely get the death penalty. | ||
| Yeah, treason is death penalty. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Bring him to Utah. | ||
| Here we go. | ||

| Last year of my 30s. | ||
| Thank you all for Friday Night Jams and hope that it becomes a reoccurring show for Friday Nights Beanie Club. | ||
| Happy birthday, Galaxy Express. | ||
| Thanks for joining in. | ||
| That thing about Cali too, it's funny. | ||
| I have a friend I was just talking to in Cali yesterday, and I guess they opened all the beaches, but none of the parking lots. | ||
| So you can't actually drive and park anywhere. | ||
| Only if you're close to the beach can you go. | ||
| So messed up. | ||
| It's funny because when I pointed out that it was like, that the Truth Over Facts campaign was genius, I got all these angry leftists like, Tim just likes Trump, and I'm like, if you can't accept that he just ran circles around you, you won't win! | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| They don't get it, man. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| You're just saying good things about Trump. | ||
| No, you're losing, and you need to accept it, otherwise you will always lose. | ||
| Talbot Box says, y'all talking butthead circles? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| DarkRanji says, have you heard about the Amazing Lucas video saying you were wrong about the Aubrey case? | ||
| I personally think so as well, but no one knows everything. | ||
| Keep up the great content. | ||
| Homie, appreciate it. | ||
| I don't know anything about the Amazing Lucas. | ||
| I'm not sure who that is. | ||
| But it's interesting to say, like, that I'm wrong about a case where I said we don't know the details and everyone should stop jumping the gun. | ||
| It's like, are you arguing that we do know the details? | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I want to know all the details. | ||
| New videos have just come out showing multiple people having trespass on the property. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now we know that the police had actually enlisted the support of that guy, the McMichael guy. | ||
| Really? | ||
| So yeah, when they come out and they say it's a lynching, and I'm like, that's not true because of this thing, how is that wrong? | ||
| No, I'm completely right. | ||
| Now, everything else around it, maybe murder, manslaughter, I don't know, I've never, well, I'll clarify now. | ||
| My intent is not to say, I definitively believe they will be charged with these things. | ||
| My official position is, I think it is unlikely a murder charge will stick. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Unless, of course, the Court of Public Opinion forces it, which is possible. | ||
| But if they were told by the cops to go help, and the guy was given the phone number, I mean, they're gonna argue to the court, well, the local police said they were trespassing, and then, you know, we were told if we see the guy or something. | ||
| So then what? | ||
| Is it murder if the cops ask you to go and, you know, try and stop a trespasser? | ||
| It could still be, for sure, but I mean, these complicate the narrative that it was these guys hunting somebody down. | ||
|

Yeah. | |
| Jeremy says, seriously, release Lose Yourself. | ||
| I have had to make a permanent link to the Atomcast video where you premiered it due to people asking for it. | ||

| We are working on music. | ||
| It's possible, actually, that we can start cranking out some of our stuff. | ||
| A nice recorded version of it. | ||
| Yeah, we can just record whenever. | ||

| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Appreciate that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, okay. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And people don't understand the context. | ||
| So... But I'll also make this point. | ||
| signs are mocking the mayor who said she needed to go to her stylist because she's on TV and | ||
| the face of the city, the signs should have had her picture. | ||
| Yeah, okay, yeah, and people don't understand the context, so, but I'll also make this point. | ||
| Someone saying they need a haircut is several orders of magnitude more important than someone | ||
| saying pay my rent for me. | ||
| Like one is saying the government should just take care of my bills, and another person | ||
| is saying minimum level of hygiene, please. | ||
| So even if it is about getting a haircut... | ||
| Firefox says, I am having the grandest time pasting the Biden video of truth over facts all over Twitter. | ||

| Truth. | ||

| Then he tweeted it. | ||
| Excellent. | ||

| Yep. | ||
| Let's see, Baelian. | ||
| Man, I'm having a hard time not switching to Jimmy Dore's livestream. | ||
| Apparently a new study shows marijuana helps prevent the Wu Flu, but worry not, you guys are cooler. | ||
| Oh, Jimmy's awesome, though. | ||
| I like Jimmy, he's cool. | ||
| This is really crazy. | ||
| Jimmy Dore grew, like, lived, like, three blocks away from me in Chicago. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| He's a lot older than I am, but it was funny, when I went on his show, we were talking and somehow it came up, and I was like, yeah, I'm from Chicago, and he's like, oh yeah, where at? | ||
| And I'm like, Midway Area, and he goes, Where at? | ||
| And I'm like, by Vidim Park. | ||
| And he goes, that's exactly where I lived. | ||
| And I was like, no way. | ||
| And he told me what block he lived on. | ||
| And I was like, that was three blocks. | ||
| It was not even three blocks. | ||
| It was like my house and then one, two, three. | ||
| And then he was like, it was like city blocks. | ||
| It was, I was like, whoa, he's a lot older than me. | ||
| So I was like a little kid when he left, but that's still crazy. | ||
| It's like, I skated at the park where he was and that's, that's nuts. | ||
| We are cooler. | ||
| Thank you for watching us. | ||
| While we do have very differing politics, we have very similar criticisms, and I wonder if that's because of where we're both from. | ||
| Because a lot of the stuff that Jimmy says is very similar to what I say about the establishment Democrats and how they're lying. | ||
| And I wonder if it has to do with being from Chicago. | ||
| It is pretty corrupt there. | ||
| Ball lightning is a thing. | ||
| There's a video of it that I've seen floating around. | ||
| Actually, I've seen a few of them. | ||
| No, I'm pretty sure it's explained also. | ||
| So what conditions do you think cause it might help find it? | ||
| I'm pretty sure ball lightning is real. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think it is. | ||
| Ball lightning is a thing. | ||
| I've I've seen, there's a video of it on, uh, that I've seen floating around. | ||
| It's just, I've seen a few of them. | ||
| No, I'm pretty sure it's explained also by what I don't have it on. | ||
| I'm not a ball lightning expert. | ||
| I'm pretty sure ball lightning is just an extremely rare occurrence. | ||
| Yeah, but I've read about it. | ||
| Yeah, you know. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| I don't know brown mountain lights, though. | ||
| We got a lot of superchats to get through. | ||
| We got a bunch, so. | ||

| Jerome says, hey Tim, a county judge in Oregon ruled the governor's orders unconstitutional and rendered them nullified and void. | ||

| Liam says, I think Elon meant for the flower to stand for socialists as a group. | ||
| As in, take the red pill, socialists. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Just wanted to give money. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I don't think he really knows, but, you know, whatever. | ||
| It doesn't matter if the message worked. | ||
| Or it works for the red pill people. | ||
| Patrick says, it would be great if communists and anarchists looked for red pill content. | ||
| Everyone should challenge the approved narratives and their perspectives. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Everyone. | ||
| Chris Mayo says, why can't Dems see they will lose? | ||
| I believe so. | ||
| They're looking with their emotions, not logic. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So the segment I did today, basically, 538 said, we might see a blue wave because of these two districts. | ||
| OK. | ||
| After the Republicans crushed the Democrats, there are no articles where they're like, | ||
| evidence confirms a red wave is coming. | ||
| Their own logic, 538, suggests that because of the overperformance of Republicans, | ||
| we should see a red wave. | ||
| OK. | ||
| Because they argued, if we see Democrats overperform, it means a blue wave is coming. | ||
| So when the Republicans win, why won't they now write about Republicans winning? | ||
| Because they don't want to put that out in the air. | ||
| Because when all of the media... | ||
| Keep saying, Democrats are gonna win, Democrats are gonna win, like they did in 2016. | ||
| They're just trying to, like, goad their base on. | ||
| It's more like, Democrats are gonna win? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Very hopeful. | ||
| And then what happens is, because the left sees all these articles, they look at my content like, Tim is lying and he's just pandering to the right, and I'm like, I was correct though. | ||
| I was correct. | ||
| So we'll see if the red wave happens, because I'm, look, I don't think I'm always right, I don't think I know the future, and I said, we might not see a red wave. | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| Yeah, I was wrong in 2018, but here's why I think we might actually see it this time. | ||
| And then what happened in Wisconsin and California, 538 was wrong, I was right. | ||
| Why doesn't Politico, why doesn't NPR, why doesn't USA Today write these articles saying, because of those victories, we now see this, you know, Republicans are gonna win? | ||
| It's like the narrative just disappears. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's one of the reasons they lose, though, because they can't see it. | ||
| And because they can't see it, they can't prepare for it. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Mark Martinez says, Tim, you have become more reliable than the established news media. | ||

| Sword Logic says, hello Tim, Adam, and Lydia. | ||
| I'd like to cover an upcoming major protest a little over a month from now. | ||
| Never covered anything before. | ||
| Do you have one fast piece of advice for a newbie? | ||
| Thanks in advance. | ||
| Get an external battery for your phone. | ||
| That way you can charge your phone for the whole day. | ||
| And they're not expensive. | ||
| They're little bars. | ||
| You put a USB stick, you know, USB cord in it and plug your phone in. | ||
| Yep. | ||

| Yeah. | ||
| Post it. | ||
| Toto Toto says, Did you notice a drop of likes on old videos? | ||
| Many of your old videos I liked and returned to them and are no longer liked. | ||
| P.S. | ||
| Tesla looked better than... Is it a car emoji? | ||
| I have not noticed that. | ||
| Don't know. | ||
| Eric Heffelfinger. | ||
| Do you think they'll try what they did with Trump to the 2024 Republican candidate? | ||
| I'd say they learned, but that seems impossible. | ||
| I don't know if the Democratic establishment will make it until then. | ||
| In 2024, I think they might not be around. | ||
| Shun says a certain Chan website should take the red rose and make it a hate symbol and see all the commies drop it. | ||
| Twitter is a bubble and these Hollywoof derps just gloat in it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Chuck Morris says, avoid the purple or green pill, soy bad. | ||
| Talbot says, there are as many red pills as there are true truths. | ||
| There are different red pill groups for different truths. | ||
| The main covered one is the manosphere. | ||
| Fresher Luke says, Tim, you should watch the documentary called The Red Pill by Cassie J. It'll give you the real answers behind the term. | ||
| I'm familiar with it. | ||
| David Prater, thanks for joining. | ||
| Matthew Maddox. | ||
| The Red Pill is overall manosphere stuff. | ||
| The movie by that name is about men's rights, fathers' rights, and male victims of domestic violence. | ||
| Pickup artists are part, but not the whole. | ||
| Lieutenant Dan says, in Washington, some sue-happy Karen got the court to petition to recall a sheriff for upholding the Constitution and not arresting people for going out. | ||

| Michael says, Michael Malice's newest book is basically about the new right and redpilling. | ||
| He has an awesome explanation of it. | ||
| It's a great book. | ||
| A must read. | ||
| I've heard good things. | ||
| Michael Malice is a cool dude. | ||
| David Prater. | ||
| Do you think there will be a Trump running in 2024? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure. | ||
| There's a couple Republicans that have had their names have been popping up, but we'll see. | ||
| I think maybe a Don Jr., but I don't know. | ||
| I really don't. | ||
| Marshall Levine says, paying attention equals no pill needed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| True that. | ||
| Hank Van Het Internet. | ||
| Tim, the red pill meme stems from you calling out the Dems every day, yet leaning Democratic as if it does not matter. | ||
| That's not necessarily- that's not fair. | ||
| Okay, because I've made my point clear. | ||
| How do we fix the Democratic Party? | ||
| How do you have an eagle fly with one broken wing? | ||
| People have to be willing to stand up and say, that's not the Democratic Party. | ||
| We need to get rid of those people and support the Democrats that are doing the right thing. | ||
| Yeah, the real Democrats. | ||
| But perhaps there's an argument that giving any of them support just reinforces all of them. | ||
| And so what I've come to realize is that even if you find a good Democrat and support them, they're just going to fall in line behind Nancy Pelosi and try and impeach Trump. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So now it's not worth it. | ||
| Jim says the greatest troll is the apocalyptic climate change. | ||
| A majority think it's based on science. | ||

| By any means necessary means, uh, by any means necessary mean bad means too. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| Paul Barnes said, should politics be dictated by logic or emotion? | ||
| If a combination, what determines the balance? | ||
| A lean towards logic to protect the right emotion. | ||
| Without emotion, we're robots and life is awful. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But if we only operate on emotion, then we die. | ||
| We fall apart and then it's suffering. | ||
| Bloody Bleeder says, Tim, take the red pill equals recognize that there is a connection between Politico A, Jerno B, Professor C, and Deep Stater DEFGH. | ||
| Dominic says, what the red pill means to me, at least, is that you are rejecting NPC culture. | ||
| You won't let the machine control you. | ||
| I like that. | ||

| There's a Pokemon that someone tweeted at me and it's totally you. | ||
| I'll show you after the show. | ||
| It's pretty hilarious. | ||
| Anita says, did you see the amazing Lucas video on you? | ||
| I did not. | ||
| To be honest, there's like 8,000 videos on me. | ||
| I don't pay attention to it. | ||
| I don't pay attention to people making videos about me. | ||

| We were kidding about her being a robot. | ||

| Of course, if there was an AI that was trying to pretend to be real, they would make a Twitter account. | ||
| They would definitely have Twitter, right? | ||

Welcome. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Matt Hatter says, Adam, I literally just tweeted you an article that actually is written by an AI trained to act like Jennifer Rubin. | ||
| I saw that! | ||
| It reads a little weird, but still has the main talking points. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| For those that don't know, Jennifer Rubin is the perfect example of what, like, a grifter is. | ||
| Because no matter what happens, her opinion is always the opposite of whatever it is Trump is doing. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||

| Tom Coke says, Tim, I love your idea regarding fact-checking the media. | ||
| I would point to the knife as an example. It was the same thing, | ||

| Any tips? | ||
| We just stayed on the road, stopped for gas, and stayed on the road. | ||
| And there was only a couple cities that were totally locked down in New Mexico. | ||

| Mike Depew says, Do you all believe in free will? | ||
| Why or why not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a long, complicated question. | |
| We've had this conversation before. | ||
| Someone hit this up like a month ago. | ||
| Someone asked us about free will. | ||
| We had a conversation about it. | ||
| The answer is yes, there is free will. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| That's what I believe. | ||
| But, uh, it's hard to know for sure, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's hard to know. | ||
| I think because you can do things that have no legitimate purpose. | ||
| It's an argument towards free will, but there's probably a lot of arguments against it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But basically, if you really wanted to, you could take off all your clothes and run around the street hooting and screaming just for no reason of sound insane mind. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Why would you do something like that? | ||
| You can choose to do it. | ||
| It's devastating to your life. | ||
| But you could if you wanted to. | ||
| If someone sees you. | ||
| That's the trick, Tim. | ||
| You got to do it at night when no one's there. | ||

Not saying I've never done that, but I'm not saying I have done it. | |

unidentified
|
Are you going to tell me? | |
| Or are you just going to keep asking me? | ||
| Well, you didn't say yes or no. | ||
| That's when you get that feeling from standing at a high position where you want to jump. | ||
| You're like, yep, this is it. | ||
| I'm going to jump. | ||
| And you don't. | ||
| But people look over and it's called the call of the void. | ||
| Yeah, you could if you want to, but people choose not to. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| ZxG says, nah, he just have dementia. | ||
| CND says, hey Tim, thank you for all you do. | ||

| It's great service for we the people. | ||

| Tim Triple E from the Tim Foilhut Podcast has been banned from Twitter and demonetized | ||
| on YouTube. | ||
| Tim, can you provide some tips for his fans to fight his censorship on these platforms? | ||
| I don't think there's anything you can do to be honest. | ||
| They've been doing this. | ||
| There's, you know, this is why I have all my videos backed up on, on BitChute because | ||

| Russell says, spooky. | ||
| Look up this on YouTube as predicted. | ||
| And Plandemic Deadzones Plague Season 2. | ||
| The Deadzone episode is crazy. | ||
| I'm not a fan of Plandemic. | ||
| I think there's a lot wrong with it. | ||

| NotHeisenBear says, Tim with Brett. | ||
| He thought you would respond via tweet. | ||
| It'll be fine. | ||
| The beef was the video title. | ||
| Prof says, end lockdown. | ||

| I get probably 10,000 tweets at me every day. | ||
| I can't even read them. | ||

| You can just DM me. | ||

| James Wu says, Good day, Mr. Poole. | ||
| Did you look up the XYZ affair of 1778-79? | ||
| Also, if anyone is interested in sports, I recommend the Houston Astros scandal of 2017. | ||
| I'm a fan of two teams that have every right to be angry at them. | ||

| Michael says Tim, the red pill refers to the 2016 documentary by feminist Cassie J in her | ||
| journey exploring half-truths and lies surrounding modern feminism and the men's rights activists. | ||
| In this, she changes her views, but that was well after the establishment of the idea of | ||
| the red pill. | ||
| BB says love you guys, spin it. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| You want to spin it? | ||
| Oh, the UFO. | ||

| Just an FYI. | ||
|

|
Will do. | |
| We will make that clear. | ||
| Maybe we'll do something on it tomorrow and talk about it. | ||
| But that's literally what our show is. | ||
| We read into things. | ||
| We're just reading with our opinions. | ||
| But I think maybe it's that we read his one tweet and the idea was something we had based on a bunch of other information, but his tweet kind of exemplified our idea. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Harry says, a new set, very cool. | ||
| I figured we would be back to work in Los Angeles by now. | ||
| Can we impeach Mayor Garcetti? | ||

| Yeah, we can't. | ||

| No, we're just gonna play our own original music. | ||
| That's what we did. | ||
| It's better anyway. | ||
| Anyway, only played her own stuff. | ||
| So Zik she says about China as a former Chinese. | ||
| The biggest issue in my opinion is the average Chinese have no idea of individual Liberty | ||
| only seeing the average men to be controlled by those ruled and only obeying them. | ||
| They grew up with it's the part of the culture Mark says me father-in-law went to get his | ||

| And let's see, RJ, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And now we need to get this last segment, man. | ||
| I really want to talk about this. | ||
| The creepy, crazy, fake news of the New York Times. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Believe All Women is a right-wing trap. | ||
| How feminists got stuck answering for a canard. | ||
| I should have known it was the far right. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| No one ever said that we should believe all women. | ||
| How absurd. | ||
| That's actually not true. | ||
| Boy, do I have a ton of stories. | ||
| Here's one from NPR, February 6. | ||
| Believe all women. | ||
| That's been the rallying cry of the Me Too movement. | ||
| Oh, here's something from National Post. | ||
| Inside the quote, believe all women refrain has become the unquestionable undercurrent to the Me Too movement. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, you get it. | ||
| It's everywhere. | ||
| We believe all survivors. | ||
| Alright, alright, alright. | ||
| Now let's see the lie they try and push forward. | ||
| They mentioned that Joe Biden has been accused, but we'll just jump down. | ||
| A woman with no corroboration beyond contemporaneous accounts charges a powerful man with a decades-old crime. | ||
| Doesn't that sound mighty close to Christine Blasey Ford's complaint against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yes, it does. | ||
| Wait, that's the problem? | ||
| They start the article by shooting themselves in the foot? | ||
| What? | ||
| Go ahead, keep reading. | ||
| Well, no, they're trying to deflect. | ||
| By flipping the narrative now. | ||
| You've got to have the memory of a goldfish to fall for this stuff, but people do! | ||
| Here's what she says. | ||
| Yet this time, many liberals who've championed the MeToo movement seem skeptical. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| Tim Graham, executive editor of NewsBusters. | ||
| Where is the MeToo movement on this story? | ||
| What happened to their rigid, believe all women boilerplate? | ||
| Fox News host Tucker Carlson. | ||
| The infuriating, the sickening hypocrisy of the media and the professional feminist movement, | ||
| believe all women. | ||
| No, they don't. | ||
| White House adviser Kellyanne Conway. | ||
| Three magic words. | ||
| Believe all women. | ||
| I didn't hear an asterisk. | ||
| I didn't see a footnote. | ||
| Believe all women so long as they're attacking somebody aligned with President Trump. | ||
| Believe all women so long as they have a college degree or better or are for abortion in the ninth month. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Kellyanne. | ||
| Spicy. | ||
| In fact, quote, Believe All Women does have an asterisk. | ||
| It's never been feminist boilerplate. | ||
| What we are witnessing is another instance of the right decrying what it imagines the American women's movement to be. | ||
| Spend some mind-numbing hours tracking the origins of Believe All Women on social media sites and news databases, as I did, and you'll discover how language, like a virus, can mutate overnight. | ||
| All of a sudden, yesterday's quotes suffer the insertion of some foreign DNA that makes them easy to weaponize. | ||
| In this case, the foreign intrusion is the word... All. | ||
| That proves it! | ||
| She said it because she read the news. | ||
| I read the news too, lady. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| NPR. | ||
| Believe All Women. | ||
| That's been the rallying cry of the Me Too movement. | ||
| Yeah, it was. | ||
| They were all saying it. | ||
| We didn't... Nobody made... We didn't make this up. | ||
| You guys made this up. | ||
| It was your phrase. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And now it's... Oh, okay. | ||
| All insertion was all the rage during the Kavanaugh hearings. | ||
| No. | ||
| The NPR story from February 2018 is well before Kavanaugh. | ||
| Kavanaugh was what, October 2018? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So no, I'm sorry. | ||
| That is not the case. | ||
| Alright, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| Yeah, let's get the correct date. | ||
| Because I can be wrong. | ||
| I'm not perfect. | ||
| I'm not perfect. | ||
| Let's see, it was all the rage during the Kavanaugh hearings when Senators Kamala Harris to Mazie Hirano had their regard for Dr. Blasey's credibility elevated by Fox News pundits to universal gender credulity. | ||
| Their actual words, I believe her, became believe all women. | ||
| So what was the date on Kavanaugh? | ||
| It was September 2018. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And what's this story from the National Post? | ||
| What's the date on this one? | ||
| February 6, 2018, the National Post. | ||
| Indeed, the Believe All Women refrain has become the unquestionable undercurrent to the MeToo movement. | ||
|

|
Wow, that's well before Brett Kavanaugh. | |
| That's interesting. | ||
| I'm glad she brought that up. | ||
| This is called media gaslighting. | ||
| You know what gaslighting is, Anna? | ||
| Enlighten us, Tim. | ||
| Gaslighting is when they try to make you think you're crazy or they just present fake facts to rewrite history. | ||
| This is what the New York Times is trying to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| We never said believe all women! | ||
| We're infallible! | ||
| It's you who's wrong! | ||
| It's the right who did this! | ||
| Yeah, so you're technically correct. | ||
| Gaslighting is a psychological tactic where they sow seeds of doubt covertly in a targeted individual, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| The media does this. | ||
| And like I said, if you've got the memory of a goldfish, you'd fall for it. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I was like, nah, I remember people saying Believe All Women, so I looked it up, and sure enough, this claim, fact check, false. | ||
| The Me Too, at the bare minimum, if you want to argue about the origins of Believe All Women, Where this, this, this is a lady, right, who's writing this story? | ||
| No doubt. | ||
| Susan, that's right. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Her argument is that she looked up news archives to find the origin, and it was the right who injected all, and changed the phrase. | ||
| Okay, well then you're ignoring... NPR. | ||
| The National Post. | ||
| That's far right. | ||
| Here's what she says. | ||
| The all was injected. | ||
| I believe her became Believe All Women. | ||
| That's literally the hashtag former Fox News contributor Morgan Ortega said in February 2019. | ||
| There's a great search function on Twitter, and you can search the hashtag Believe All Women. | ||
| For those of you who don't believe, that's what the Democrats had in the case of Kavanaugh. | ||
| Is there literally a hashtag? | ||
| Well, kind of. | ||
| No, there is. | ||
| There either is or there isn't. | ||
| That's what literally means. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Meaningfully tracking hashtags on Twitter is a confounding chore. | ||
| Even the professional data scrapers I consulted. | ||
| It's a very interesting rabbit hole. | ||
| Pablo Morales-Henry, digital archivist at Harvard University's Schlesinger Library, which maintains a collection of more than 30 million MeToo-related tweets, told me. | ||
| Nevertheless, let's take the Ortega's challenge. | ||
| As she noted, Twitter is a search function that, while hardly great, does at least crudely reflect the site's use, especially by its most popular users, who are most likely to spread a hashtag far and wide. | ||
| For instance, type in Black Lives Matter, make America great again, And you get bottomless well of references. | ||
| Type in Believe All Women for 2017, when the MeToo movement took off in October, and you get several dozen references, followed in 2018, the year of the Kavanaugh hearings, by many more. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| I've found that the hashtag is by a wide margin used mostly by its detractors. | ||
| Except, the MeToo movement started around October 2017. | ||
| In about four months, five months, NPR, the National Post, and many other outlets were saying, quote, So what's your point? | ||
| Detractors started hearing that and started criticizing it, and many people criticized it? | ||
| It sounds like your only argument is that you were wrong! | ||
| Not that that's not what the feminists were actually saying. | ||
| Simply because you were being criticized by people for saying believable women doesn't mean that the right invented it. | ||
| It seems that BelievaWomen first appeared on Twitter in late 2014 in three tweets. | ||
| By an Ontario midwife, a Toronto educator, and lifelong learner, and Jenna and Kayla, twins from Ottawa, who plan events in their spare time, combined following fewer than 4,000 followers. | ||
| Then in the fall of 2015... Then in the fall? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, in 2014, I see. | |
| Hillary Clinton posted a tweet. | ||
| To every survivor of assault, you have the right to be heard, you have the right to be believed. | ||
| To which Juanita Broderick, who alleges that Bill Clinton raped her in 1978, responded on Twitter, Hillary tried to silence me. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Conservative editor David French, who has a large following, retweeted Ms. | ||
| Broderick at once, attaching the hashtag, believeallwomen, followed by four question marks. | ||
| The breath was on the ember. | ||
| Where is the believeallwomen crowd on this? | ||
| Believeallwomen unless the case damages the leftist narrative, blah blah blah. | ||
| As it happens, the canard blown into the bonfire by the right became accepted truth in mainstream media from NPR to the New York Times to the Globe and Mail in Canada, with pronouncements characterizing believable women as the rallying cry of the MeToo movement, the order of the day, and a formula for miscarriage of justice, if ever there was one. | ||
| But hold on, didn't she earlier just say it was all the rage during Kavanaugh? | ||
| Is she trying to convince us that this is the alt-right thing? | ||
| Or the Democrats? | ||
| Like, It's basically like she's explaining where the Democrats are now, now that Biden's up on the chopping block. | ||
| It's like, where are the Democrats? | ||
| That's what I'm seeing. | ||
| It feels like she's a Republican going, where are all the Democrats now? | ||
| Where are you guys at? | ||
| Why aren't you believing in all women now? | ||
| I'll tell you what she's saying. | ||
| It doesn't make sense. | ||
| Perhaps it's true. | ||
| That Believe All Women was first a hyperbolic criticism of the left. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay, I'll accept that. | ||
| That means the left championed a movement that was created in jest to criticize them and they didn't realize it and started running around screaming something that was created to mock them. | ||
| Ah, okay. | ||
| Is that what she's arguing? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Am I wrong about that? | ||
| That sounds like what she's saying, right? | ||
| That sounds right to me. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let's read how she ends this. | ||
| I'm just listening. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| You know what I can't stand about a lot of these journalists? | ||
| How they don't write conclusions. | ||
| It's like, do you know how to write? | ||
| So let's just jump back. | ||
| She says, uh... The preferred... Wait, wait. | ||
| This is why the preferred hashtag to the MeToo movement is BelieveWomen. | ||
| Okay, you know what? | ||
| I'm done reading this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| It's clear what she's trying to do. | ||
| I'm over it, too. | ||
| Whether or not anyone created the MeToo movement in the media, you mean to tell me that NPRs... Who is this? | ||
| Elsa Chang. | ||
| I believe that's a female. | ||
| Sounds like a girl to me. | ||
| She didn't know what Believe All Women was or where it came from? | ||
| That's kind of condescending. | ||
| I think the National Post is written by a dude. | ||
| This is written by Joe O'Connor. | ||
| Then we have this, We Believe All Survivors. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Protesters march around the Capitol to the steps of the Supreme Court. | ||
| Undeterred by rain and cold, some had posters that read, We Believe All Survivors. | ||
| Others stood in silence outside Dirksen Senate Office Building with the words, Believe Women. | ||
| Right on their hands. | ||
| We believe her. | ||
| So perhaps it's fair to say, and this is during the Kavanaugh, that believe women was and believe all women was, you know, maybe a combination. | ||
| If that's the case, fine, so be it. | ||
| But it is true that protesters had been saying, believe all survivors, we believe all women. | ||
| I suppose it's possible that the left is so unable to understand their own causes, when conservatives criticized them, they assumed that was their actual cause and then championed it, and went out protesting, saying we believe all survivors. | ||
| That's not a good narrative to entertain. | ||
| That's really embarrassing. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| Apparently that's the argument, I guess. | ||
| No, no, we were tricked, we were tricked. | ||
| I guess you were. | ||
| Foolish. | ||
| So, I think the interesting thing is, it's definitely not a right-wing trap. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| No. | ||
| If the argument is that one guy said, believe all women, question mark, question mark, and that sparked the hashtag, believe all women, for which the left picked up and used, no one set a trap. | ||
| They were criticizing you, and you didn't realize it. | ||
| And you rolled with it. | ||
| And you rolled with it. | ||
| Oof. | ||
| Oof. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| It's even worse. | ||
| I know, that makes it worse. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| This is just one of the stupidest things I've ever read. | ||
| Yeah, I read that title and I was laughing, and now that we've gone through it, it's not even funny anymore. | ||
| It's sad. | ||
| It's a whole lot of writing to try and erase what Believe All Women was and what the activists were saying. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Even, even, you know what, I'll be fair and say, you know, my initial assumption was that Believe All Women was sparked by, actually, does she mention, she says, three years ago, was it, let's see, where is it, here we go, 2014, three tweets, did they actually, they did, okay, Believe All Women, it was not started by the right, she actually admits it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was originally started by some small Twitter accounts, and she tries downplaying their following to make it seem like it wasn't made by them. | ||
| Toronto educator. | ||
| And then someone took that and used it against them. | ||
| I think this story is stupid. | ||
| Who is she trying to convince? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| This story's dumb. | ||
| I think she's trying to convince herself. | ||
| It's dumb. | ||
| She's dumb. | ||
| Everything's dumb. | ||
| I feel stupid for having read it. | ||
| Yeah, I lost some IQ points. | ||
| I have nothing to say to this. | ||
| Yeah, I'm normally all jolly and smiles. | ||
| I'm sad. | ||
| Took it out of me. | ||
| And bummed. | ||
| This is just a depressing article. | ||
| I'll conclude by saying it is a sad and desperate attempt. | ||
| It just makes them look stupider. | ||
| But it is just one opinion piece by one person, so fine. | ||
| I think this is just... It's not indicative or representative of anything other than this one person's desperate attempt to blame the right for something they didn't do. | ||
| But that's good enough for me. | ||
| I'm so glad that's over. | ||
| It's such a stupid story. | ||

We survived. | |
| Thank goodness. | ||
| I'm actually upset having actually done the segment on it now, having read it. | ||
| No, I think it's great. | ||
| I think it's good. | ||
| Okay, here's why. | ||
| Here's why I think it's good. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna look on the bright side here. | ||
| Go on, please. | ||
| Try. | ||
| So I think that her showing us that she thinks that we're all super freaking forgetful and stupid is really illuminating because that's what they think of us all the time. | ||
| It just came out in this article. | ||
| That's good to know. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| What can I say? | ||
| Well, there you go. | ||
| Hey, how about that? | ||
| All right. | ||

| Pretty good. | ||
| That's pretty good. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Come on, Sargon. | ||
| The Moral Grace says, so Tim, you have talked before about not being atheist exactly or believing in something. | ||
| Can you elaborate, or is it you know the thing? | ||
| You know the thing. | ||
| You know that thing. | ||
| That thing. | ||
| I believe in God, but the challenge with explaining to someone the belief in God is that most people's understanding of God is really, really rudimentary, and you either have this like You know, what do people do, like, family guy? | ||
| Like, God is a guy with a white beard. | ||
| It's like, that is absolutely not what I think, not what I feel, not what I believe. | ||
| But when you try and explain people about God, they just assume a theistic religion, or they assume some, like, anthropomorphized version of what God is. | ||
| I wouldn't be able to explain it. | ||
| The easy way to explain it is I do not believe in theistic religions, books, Bibles, anything like that. | ||
| But I do believe that there is something more powerful and greater that is, in a sense, There it is. | ||
| But for for existence, but I say that with a but we are much too feeble-minded to comprehend beyond what our | ||
| existence is So I certainly think there is something above and beyond us | ||
| We can experience or understand that is responsible for what we do and you know all that stuff | ||
| It's much much more complicated than that and it would take a very very long time to explain there it is | ||
| It is in fact complicated. No, it's beyond complicated Yeah, it's way harder. | ||
| It is literally trying to take a gigantic ball of, like, this massive sphere, and then, like, imagine you have, like, eight miles of yarn, and you can pull out the yarn very slowly to give to somebody. | ||
| It would take forever for them to get the full thing. | ||
|

|
Yeah. | |
| That's the challenge with it. | ||
| I might actually have eight miles to go. | ||
| Simple thing, you know, maybe that was the best way I could have explained it. | ||

| And it's the greatest thing when I can be like, Adam's got 800 stories from all the people who recommended stuff and I'm like, cool, I thought these are cool ideas. | ||
| It also helps us get away from a lot of the, like, really boring, like, headline news we avoid. | ||
| The Elon Musk thing was a big story, but it was fun. | ||
