| How's it going everybody? | ||
| Welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast. | ||
| For some reason, YouTube is still broken, but whatever. | ||
| We're doing a show. | ||
| My name is Tim Poole. | ||
| I'm hanging out with the same old people. | ||
| You know, we're not old people, but we are the same people anyway. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| It's Adam here. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| And me. | ||
| I got my cool new t-shirt. | ||
| Look at that shirt! | ||
| It says Haram Faisay. | ||
| What could that shirt possibly be? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That shirt is dope. | ||
| If y'all want a Haram Faisay t-shirt, it is in the description. | ||
| Just click it, and it goes to the store. | ||
| And there's like a beanie shirt, but there's the Haram Faisay shirt, and we're close to getting an Adam shirt, and a Lydia shirt. | ||
| We're gonna do it. | ||
| But here's the big news. | ||
| We are going to get a premium special access product. | ||
| Welcome to the show. | ||
| We're talking about the lockdown is over. | ||
| But it should be directly through the YouTube store and we will be the only channel with access to this specific | ||
| product Whoa? Yeah, this is crazy. I love that. So it's gonna be | ||
| awesome and it's gonna be beanies Specific of beanies. So welcome to the show. We're talking | ||
|
unidentified
|
about the lockdown is over. It's almost over. Well, yeah, I was gonna say | |
| Almost. | ||
| I'll believe it when I can walk outside and go bowling. | ||
| Fauci said it. | ||
| I want to go bowling! | ||
| Fauci said it. | ||
| Lydia, you know you want to go bowling. | ||
| Yeah, I definitely do. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Fauci said it. | ||
| We done. | ||
| So that means because he's kind of like the main doctor in charge of all this, right? | ||
| Even though he's always a little bit behind on everything? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think because... A little bit, yeah. | |
| There's been like pushback, right? | ||
| Fauci is the doctor saying, we can't do this. | ||
| And then Trump is like with the economy. | ||
| So then the left has just been like, Trump is wrong. | ||
| Fauci is right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now Fauci's come out and he's like, we're facing irreparable damage if we stay locked down too long. | ||
| And I'm absolutely in favor of opening if it's done appropriately. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
| We also have a study that came out showing that states that locked down actually did much, much worse. | ||
| Huh. | ||
| What a surprise. | ||
| Unsurprising. | ||
| Well, I mean, I would say early on, that would be surprising. | ||
| You'd be like, wow, I didn't realize that. | ||
| But hindsight is 20-20, you know? | ||
| That's it. | ||
| And then, you know, Joe Biden. | ||
| Because he's Joe Biden. | ||
| Did we have to talk about Joe Biden? | ||
| Well, because he said, you know, black people weren't black if they voted for Trump. | ||
| That is the craziest thing I've ever heard. | ||
| So Trump is now selling you ain't black shirts. | ||
| Hashtag you ain't black. | ||
| Dude, this is the big difference between the two campaigns. | ||
| Trump doesn't care. | ||
| You know what I can't believe more than that though? | ||
| The amount of people that are coming out in defense of that statement. | ||
| Like, how are you defending it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah, I don't know how you defend that. | ||
| That's pretty amazing. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Look, man, I can't speak on behalf of anyone but myself. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So if there's a community of people that took issue with it, and a lot of people did, even lefty. | ||
| So obviously there were conservatives who were mad. | ||
| Then there were a lot of people in the black community who were mad. | ||
| But then I saw some progressive people in the black community who were mad. | ||
| And that was, I mean, not surprising to me at all. | ||
| Because they don't like Joe Biden. | ||
| They're like, vote blue no matter who! | ||
| Wait, what did you say? | ||
| No, these people, these aren't the vote blue no matter who. | ||
| No, I know, I'm just making a joke. | ||
| The progressives, and like, dude, this has been crazy. | ||
| Like, when I turn on Glenn Greenwald, progressive, seeing him go after, you know, defend Michael Flynn. | ||
| Like, wow. | ||
| He rags on the national security state, surveillance state. | ||
| He hates Trump. | ||
| But the truth is the truth. | ||
| So when you go to these establishment vote blue no matter who people, they're like, these are the worst of the worst. | ||
| But I think they're a dying breed. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Yeah, dying breed. | ||
| And we got some fun sci-fi stories. | ||
| Maybe we'll get to it if we do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sci-fi stories? | |
| Well, creepy ones. | ||
| Oh, that's fine. | ||
| It's still sci-fi, right? | ||
| The contact tracing app that got released in North Dakota is basically monetizing and selling your data and stuff. | ||
| Oh, like dystopia sci-fi. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not the fun. | |
| I feel like we've been living in that for months now. | ||
| We got a free trial to Brave New World, to Fahrenheit 451, to communism. | ||
| It's like, wow, we got a little sample of everything. | ||
| Didn't want that. | ||
| Can't say life isn't boring. | ||
| So if you're just tuning in, make sure you smash that like button! | ||
| Oh, I didn't yet. | ||
| Smash it. | ||
| Lightly tap it and just give your mouse a little... Just one time. | ||
| No, that's what you do to the share button. | ||
| Lightly doot the share button. | ||
| Smash the like button, lightly tap the share button. | ||
| I don't know if the share button does anything. | ||
| Just take the URL and plop it somewhere. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Also, if you'd like to super chat, so... | ||
| Here's basically what happens. | ||
| You get your superchats in. | ||
| It usually has to do with the first hour of the couple segments we do, and we do try to read them as we can, but basically, first come, first serve, just because we read the first superchats first, and then eventually we get to a point where the superchats come in too quick, so... | ||
| If you end up getting in late, then we sometimes have to skip through, and so I apologize to everybody if we missed your Super Chats. | ||
| We're just getting so much love from you guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| So much love. | ||
| And you know, very few podcasts actually do dedicated segments to full-on Super Chat. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, a lot of them just be like, we'll pull select comments, and then people will Super Chat, and then a producer will pull like four questions, and they'll ignore like the 300. | ||
| You glad I don't do that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And without calling anybody out. | ||
| There's some podcasts that just disable it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I like the way we do it. | ||
| But I think it's the point of it. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We get to actually interact with people and that's amazing. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Well, then people often have good questions that lead to... We did a segment the other day about... Adam brought up the story when we lived in Miami and someone hopped a fence into our property and was snooping around our barn with a flashlight. | ||
| Oh yeah, someone asked us about if we believe in guns and having them and why. | ||
| And it's like, yes, of course we do. | ||
| Here's a actual story that we had. | ||
| It's interesting too. | ||
| I mean, because we didn't even actually have guns. | ||
| We had a pellet air rifle, compression rifle. | ||
| It was a good one. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It was fun. | ||
| It was a Remington. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Like a legitimate air rifle. | ||
| I'll tell you what, man. | ||
| I had a friend come over once, and I had it safety on and everything, and just to keep it vague, this person thought it would be funny to crack it and then point it at me. | ||
| It was just a pellet gun, right? | ||
| And I flipped out. | ||
| I was like, dude, you are never allowed to touch anything. | ||
| You're never coming here again. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Like, dude, you don't understand. | ||
| And she was like 10 feet away from me, thinking it was hair. | ||
| Oh my goodness, 10 feet away? | ||
| That is no joke. | ||
| Like she thought it was a BB, like an air pellet gun or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And I'm like, dude, those kill. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, those are like squirrel killers. | |
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Rabbit killers. | ||
| That would have been messed up. | ||
| Respected. | ||
| Yeah, we didn't... No, she certainly didn't. | ||
| People are dumb, man. | ||
| And that's one of the biggest challenges. | ||
| They're out there. | ||
| When you see a lot of people who are very much adamant for gun control, it's because they know they're the dumb ones who can't... I don't mean to say dumb as in... That's like... Ignorant is a better word. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, that's a better word. | ||
| When I was in Egypt... All you gun people are gonna love this. | ||
| I had to go into the state building for certified press credentials, because in Egypt they don't have free press. | ||
| And the soldiers standing in front of the building are holding their guns like this. | ||
| And so when I walked past to walk in, I'm like going like this and like limboing. | ||
| You don't want to be anywhere near the end of that gun. | ||
| I don't want there to be a direct line from the barrel of that, you know, rifle to my head. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I limboed. | ||
| They don't do that here. | ||
| Just dodging. | ||
| Here it's down. | ||
| Yeah, down to the ground. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Trigger discipline, muzzle to the ground. | ||
| Not in these other places, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's crazy. | |
| I don't like that. | ||
| You gotta walk past them and it's like, no, thank you. | ||
| They're like, but we have to show off our guns. | ||
| Is that what it's about? | ||
| They're just untrained. | ||
| They don't, they have bad training, bad training. | ||
| And so what do you think happens when you take some of these city folk that don't know anything about it and don't respect it? | ||
| They hold the gun like this? | ||
| Dude, do you see? | ||
| With their finger on the trigger at all times too. | ||
| There was a viral video on Reddit where some woman was in a range and then she like fires and then she just turns and then a bunch of dudes basically tackle her. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| You do not mess around with that. | ||
| her pull her arm up yeah and then they kick her out seriously yeah you don't | ||
|
unidentified
|
yeah crazy turning around she was just like oh my god with live bullets in the | |
| yes yep right dude everyone feels like men and women running to her grabbing | ||
|
unidentified
|
her putting her arm like oh yeah so doing Wow. | |
| My dad taught us about guns and when we were learning about guns, he was like, I will give you a dollar if you ever see the end of this muzzle. | ||
| If you ever see the end, if you see the hole where the bullet comes out, you get a dollar from me. | ||
| And if I ever see it on you, you're never shooting again. | ||
| I was like, okay, that's fair. | ||
| And it never happened. | ||
| Like I never had to pay him a dollar and, uh, or he never had to pay me a dollar and I was not revoked from shooting. | ||
| What was the first gun you ever shot? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Me? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Um, I don't remember what I shot. | ||
| My dad started us out small. | ||
| I couldn't even tell you what he owned, but my left eye is weaker than my right eye, so I learned to shoot wonky. | ||
| Like, I shot with my other hand. | ||
| It was strange, but it worked well. | ||
| And we had a little shooting range in our barn. | ||
| It was good times. | ||
| Yeah, so I kind of learned. | ||
| So this is actually, people are going to like this, when I was covering the Ferguson riots, we actually went to a range because there was something, there was an interesting principle that me and these other journalists had. | ||
| It was, if we're going to report on gun use and you haven't ever used a gun or talked to an expert, you shouldn't be doing it. | ||
| Dope. | ||
| That sounds legit. | ||
| So we went to the range and we got a basic like, you know, opening pointer and like explaining everything. | ||
| I got to fire a few rounds. | ||
| I forgot what it said. | ||
| I had good precision but bad accuracy. | ||
| I was able to hit the target in the junk consistently, but I was aiming for the head. | ||
| What he told me was that when I was pulling, I was pulling my hand forward, so it was going down. | ||
| But I was like, how can I even possibly consider reporting on what would it be like to be holding a weapon, have someone, you know, fighting with you or whatever, if I've never even experienced it, asked about it, talked to an expert. | ||
| But then I did an interview with somebody in Jersey. | ||
| He was a trainer, a police firearms expert and trains people. | ||
| And we got to go through a full course where they went from like 22 and I got to fire like five different handguns. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| I can't remember what the last one was, but it was huge. | ||
| It was heavy and it was Powerful. | ||
| Was it a Magnum? | ||
| No, no, I can't remember what it was. | ||
| Desert Eagle? | ||
| But like, the first one they had me use, it felt almost like a cap gun. | ||
| Like a .22? | ||
| It was a .22, and it was like, it was ridiculously easy to shoot. | ||
| And that's what they explained, they were like, we're not gonna start you off on the bigger guns. | ||
| You get used to it, and it really did work out that way. | ||
| I was like, oh wow. | ||
| As I worked my way up, you know. | ||
| But I've only ever gone twice. | ||
| We gotta go. | ||
| Let's do that after we get out of lockdown. | ||
| Oh my gosh, I can't wait. | ||
| It's gonna be so fun. | ||
| Right before we all got locked down, I found a lot of different gun ranges around us. | ||
| There's many around us. | ||
| Oh yeah, totally. | ||
| But there's not that many that actually allow arrow shooting. | ||
| But I did find a couple. | ||
| An arrow range. | ||
| An arrow range. | ||
| Or a bow. | ||
| I think that's more fun. | ||
| Shooting bows, yeah. | ||
| I want to go to a bow range, you know. | ||
| I want to do axe throwing, too. | ||
| Oh, yes! | ||
| We can actually set up axe throwing outside, probably. | ||
| I know, we should practice all the weapons we have. | ||
| What are we waiting for? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Because we have to buy axes. | ||
| Oh, yeah, that's right. | ||
| Oh, whatever. | ||
| And your point being... We can do it. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Wait, you've got to kill them. | ||
| I do. | ||
| I know how to use that. | ||
| We can actually make our own. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| What you need to also get, you need to get a bear skin loincloth and leather straps to hold the axes. | ||
| Yes, of course. | ||
| Because I'm telling you, I'm telling you, hold on. | ||
| When someone breaks in that front door, they might be expecting to see some dude with like a home defense weapon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But when they see you running down the stairs in a bear cloth. | ||
| Wearing nothing but a loincloth. | ||
| With two axes and you're like. | ||
| This is what you get. | ||
| They're gonna be like, oh, what an image. | ||
| That's not what they expected. | ||
| Yeah, and yet another image that we would like some fan art. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| I guess me in a loincloth, running at you with two axes, blood-crazed look on my face. | ||
| Hair crazy. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Hair crazy. | ||
| That should be fun. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| This is what you get. | ||
| It's gonna be awesome. | ||
| Trespasser. | ||
| Trespasser. | ||
| You poor fool. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| So now that we're adequately laughing at absurdities, should we... | ||
| Yeah, let's get into this story. | ||
| Oh gosh. | ||
| I mean, I'm stoked about it. | ||
| This is great news, I think. | ||
| Oh man, okay. | ||
| I'm hoping, I'm hoping that, so now we see this, this is a story from the hill. | ||
| Fauci totally in favor of reopening country if done in an inappropriate way. | ||
| Not in an inappropriate way. | ||
| If it's done appropriately, he's saying we can reopen. | ||
| This is amazing news. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Yes, it is. | ||
| We've seen studies. | ||
| The lockdowns didn't work. | ||
| We've seen studies that they may have made things worse. | ||
| Infection rate isn't as bad. | ||
| I got one. | ||
| We're going to show it. | ||
| We're going to show a study from JP Morgan did an assessment of all these different states. | ||
| And they're writing fake news about hydroxychloroquine and stuff. | ||
| It's the weirdest thing. | ||
| But now that Fauci has come out, they've lost their, you know, golden calf or whatever. | ||
| That was the only defense they had was that Fauci was tepid. | ||
| Well, look, Fauci is saying we should remain locked down. | ||
| So, I mean, he's the leader, right? | ||
| He was the weathervane, yes. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Now he's totally in favor. | ||
| And he's actually talking about why it's bad. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| The nation's leading infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci said Friday that he is totally in favor of reopening the country if it's done appropriately and cautiously. | ||
| In an interview with CNBC, Fauci said the notion the nation can't stay locked down, adding that irreparable damage and unintended consequences could ensue if lockdowns are prolonged, including risks to public health. | ||
| It is for that reason why the guidelines are being put forth so the states and the cities can start to re-enter and reopen, he said. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Glorious, glorious statement. | ||
| Thank you, Dr. Fauci. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Finally. | ||
| He says, I believe this. | ||
| Yes, Fauci says this. | ||
| I don't want people to think that any of us feel that staying locked down for a prolonged period of time is the way to go. | ||
| He said, adding that the nation had to do that during the virus outbreak's peak. | ||
| I'm going to challenge that notion. | ||
| With another article in a second. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He said that in general he thinks the most people in the country are reopening in a prudent way. | ||
| Now is the time, depending upon where you are or what your situation is, to begin seriously looking at reopening the economy. | ||
| Reopening the country to try and get back to some degree of normal. | ||
| I'm totally in favor of that if it's done in a proper way and appropriate setting, Fauci said. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Good. | ||
| All right, let's see if we get this. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Now that he said it, I think we're on track. | ||
| You've got weird holdout states, you know, like New York, Michigan, New Jersey. | ||
| They want to extend everything. | ||
| Yeah, three more weeks. | ||
| No, we can't do that. | ||
| Or two more weeks, maybe? | ||
| No, like two and a half weeks. | ||
| Till June 12th? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| June 12th? | ||
| Yeah, come on. | ||
| Crazy length. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| I think they're scared. | ||
| Didn't the state tell her she can't do that? | ||
| I can't remember the specific details, but I think she was challenged by the legislature. | ||
| I don't remember exactly what happened. | ||
| But I know in Wisconsin, he lost and he gave up the governor there. | ||
| What's his name, Evers? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| So we got this study right here. | ||
| Many U.S. | ||
| states have seen lower infection rates after ending lockdowns that are now destroying millions of livelihoods worldwide, JP Morgan's study claims. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| There's actually an argument that the lockdown made things worse. | ||
| I believe it. | ||
| Look, you had- It definitely did. | ||
| Because it's not just fighting off the coronavirus. | ||
| Right. | ||
| In terms of- It stalled our economy out. | ||
| Now we're gonna have to, like, climb an uphill battle to get back into, like they say, get back to normal. | ||
| But it's like, how is that even possible? | ||
| Millions of people don't have jobs. | ||
| They don't have jobs to go back to once quarantine gets lifted. | ||
| That's the issue now. | ||
| There's no- There's, like, it's too late for those people. | ||
| The small businesses that closed permanently. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| There's no normal for these people. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Man, that's nuts. | ||
| So what are their options? | ||
| Go work at Walmart? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yup. | |
| Great. | ||
| That's what I was saying before, if you were somebody, say, owned your own shop, now what's your choice? | ||
| Become a mid-level manager at a Walmart version? | ||
| If you had a shoe shop, like an Urban Streetwear or something, they shut you down, Walmart's still selling all those clothes, now you're out of business. | ||
| You couldn't pay your rent, you get evicted, whatever happens, your employees have moved out of the city. | ||
| So you're like, I guess I'll go to Walmart and manage their shoe aisle. | ||
| Well, I mean, didn't you say Domino's was paying like six figures for managing? | ||
| Taco Bell. | ||
| Taco Bell. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I'm sure the jobs are out there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Before the lockdown, the economy was so good. | ||
| Taco Bell was paying managers a hundred K a year. | ||
| That's so good. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That's really good money. | ||
| To manage a Taco Bell. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| But these are people without degrees. | ||
| I mean, in many circumstances. | ||
| You know, these are even some people who just, you know, got a job at Taco Bell out of high school, worked there for a couple years, and then got promoted, and now they're like, well, we want to hire managers, so we gotta be competitive. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Economy was great. | ||
| Not so much now, but the big corporations have all done really, really well. | ||
| Really, really well. | ||
| Didn't they make, like, over 400 mil or something? | ||
| The big box stores? | ||
| Maybe more. | ||
| Is it a billion or a million? | ||
| I don't remember what number I saw. | ||
| Well, billionaires saw, like, a massive wealth increase. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's so obvious, dude. | ||
| It's obvious. | ||
| It's so obvious. | ||
| You know what's funny? | ||
| I took advantage. | ||
| There's, like, among the, like, libertarian conspiracy theorist kind of circles, there's this idea. | ||
| Actually, it's not fair to say that, but this is where I've heard it from. | ||
| Like, anarcho-communists. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| No, that was wrong. | ||
| Sorry, what? | ||
| Anarcho-capitalists! | ||
| Immediately my ANCAP friends are like, how dare you! | ||
| I'm gonna get hate mail from them. | ||
| No, but they talk about how the elites Predict and well, it depends on who you ask but some people | ||
| have told me that the elites orchestrate economic collapse | ||
| So what happens is the market will go really really well, okay, and then they'll you know, like sell really high | ||
| tank the economy on purpose and then buy everything back up at really low prices and | ||
| Then when the economy recovers they know they now have a larger percentage of everything resources | ||
| right so i wouldn't you know personally go so far say they | ||
| orchestrate it but insider trading is real it's a crime it exists people | ||
| know didn't we see those | ||
| like senators do that didn't they have like a meeting and then | ||
| the very next day sold off millions of stock Did that happen? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, there's a couple people. | ||
| One of them, it sounds fishy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But then, uh, the, uh, what's her name? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Loffler? | |
| Is that her name? | ||
| Kelly Loffler. | ||
| As from my understanding now, hers doesn't seem fishy. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because hers is like a blind trust, and she had nothing to do with whether they bought or sold. | ||
| Yeah, she's not planning on stepping down. | ||
| So I don't think she has anything to hide. | ||
| It's the other guy, what's his name, like Burr or whatever? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, he was super fishy. | ||
| Yeah, his seems weird. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But dude, they do it. | ||
| Look, why is Nancy Pelosi worth millions of dollars? | ||
| Gosh, she scares me. | ||
| There's regular Joey Adams being like, she's a scary woman. | ||
| She scares me, man. | ||
| Why does she scare you? | ||
| Because she's got this look on her face that she doesn't care what you're saying, she's gonna continue saying what she believes, and she believes it 100%. | ||
| But isn't Trump that way? | ||
| Even if it's wrong. | ||
| That describes Trump too, man. | ||
| I mean, I wouldn't want to cross Trump either, for that matter. | ||
| You know what the difference is, though? | ||
| I don't know why I'm not afraid of Trump. | ||
| This is one of the weirdest things about the current state of politics. | ||
| Something about Pelosi, man. | ||
| Something about her? | ||
| Yeah, she'd poison my food, I think. | ||
| Well, so her daughter said, her daughter used this as a selling point for her mom. | ||
| She's like, she'd cut your head off and you wouldn't even know it. | ||
| And I was like, that's supposed to be good? | ||
| Right. | ||
| So she'd wait till I was sleeping. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Trump would come at me while I'm awake. | ||
| At least. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Nancy would have to wait. | ||
| Trump would like walk up and be like, Adam, I've had enough. | ||
| And he'd throw you the sword. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| It's a fair fight. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And then you'd... | ||
| Yes, just like that. | ||
| We watched The Family Guy the other day where Peter fought Donald Trump. | ||
| That was kind of funny. | ||
| I haven't seen that one. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| No, but there's a weird thing about how Trump flaunts his wealth, he loves his wealth, and Republicans love his wealth, and conservatives, they're like, good for him, you know? | ||
| And the Democrats hide from it and apologize for it. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| For their wealth? | ||
| For their, for their, like, it's the weirdest thing. | ||
| I'm sorry I'm privileged. | ||
| Is that what you mean? | ||
| That kind of thing? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| You know, if people find out they like a fancy dinner, they're like, oh no, like what do | ||
| I do? | ||
| And Trump specifically is like. | ||
| I'm having a fancy dinner. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Here's the example, here's the example. | ||
| Elizabeth Warren has, you know, she gets off a private jet, a tiny one, and she merely ducks behind somebody. | ||
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| Trump pulls the jumbo jet up behind her while he's speaking. | ||
| That's the perfect example. | ||
| He owns it. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Yeah, you gotta own it. | ||
| People respect that. | ||
| People respect owning up to your... I don't want to say the word, but owning up to your ass. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| It's like Trump saying, yeah, I'm rich and I know it, and Warren saying, oh no, they found out. | ||
| Oh no, I know I'm rich now. | ||
| Or Bernie, just silently taking millionaires out of his conversation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just a billionaire! | |
| It's a billionaire. | ||
| But so think about this right in terms of how they've advocated for or against lockdown. | ||
| You've got Trump saying we'd reopen. | ||
| Apparently now there's like a quote. | ||
| I need to fact check this one. | ||
| But you know Trump said something like we'll never do this again. | ||
| You know this can't happen. | ||
| And then you look at what the Democrats have proposed. | ||
| He's talking about locking down you mean? | ||
| Right shutting down the economies. | ||
| Yeah yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| It's not it's not so much about it's hard to describe. | ||
| Like, when I say the Democrats, I'm typically referring to the establishment, vote blue no matter who kind of people, including the politicians, their media allies. | ||
| It's like that cluster of weird faction or whatever. | ||
| Their attitudes toward lockdown have been completely asynchronous with the science, the studies, the economy. | ||
| And it's just the weirdest — I can't imagine regular people trust them. | ||
| I'm sure weird resistance types who don't pay attention do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, you know, in line with what we were just saying about how, like, the Democrats will pretend and Trump will own it, I think that's one reason why people, they trust Trump, even though he says outrageous things fairly often. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They don't trust the media. | ||
| And then the media starts playing this game where every day they end up proving Trump right. | ||
| The media is full of, you know, full of it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then what happens is you end up with Trump and they just, people would rather believe the president. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| There was a study a couple weeks ago that the general approval rate for the president was higher than the press. | ||
| That doesn't surprise me. | ||
| There was a CBS poll that said Trump was more trustworthy by like two points. | ||
| Here's the funny thing. | ||
| CNN immediately rushes out to do a poll on this. | ||
| And their poll comes out and says Trump is at 36 and CNN is at 55 or whatever. | ||
| Okay, guys. | ||
| Like, okay. | ||
| They just did the poll in their own office. | ||
| Yeah, they're like, quick, we need some numbers. | ||
| Quick, everyone who works here and it's paid by us. | ||
| Do this poll for us. | ||
| We need your feedback. | ||
| We also saw this story. | ||
| What's the date on this one? | ||
| I will not support. | ||
| May 12th. | ||
| Fauci tells Congress there's no guarantee the vaccine is actually going to be effective. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| But this is a good example of what I'm talking about. | ||
| They're out of sync with what's actually going on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I bring this up because I wonder now if we're actually going to reopen even though Fauci said it. | ||
| Geez. | ||
| I'm all excited. | ||
| Fauci's like, we should reopen. | ||
| I'm like, yes, but guess what? | ||
| Fauci said a week ago, 10 days ago. | ||
| Yeah, over a week ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Geez. | |
| Over 10 days ago. | ||
| There's no guarantee it's effective. | ||
| What does Los Angeles say? | ||
| What does New Jersey say? | ||
| Yeah, because it's a virus. | ||
| We've known that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| They said we can't reopen until we have a vaccine. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| Are you listening to Fauci? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| That's the weirdest thing. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| That's sad, man. | ||
| Because, I mean, we know, we've talked about this, right? | ||
| You can't get a vaccine for viruses because they'll just mutate. | ||
| No, you can vaccine viruses. | ||
| You can't cure viruses. | ||
| OK. | ||
| Oh, I see. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| So you give yourself the immunity by, you know, giving you little bits of the, you know, weakened virus or whatever your body destroys. | ||
| It makes the antibodies and Okay. | ||
| I think that's how it works, right? | ||
| Yeah, so... I'm not going to pretend to be a doctor. | ||
| Yeah, I'm not. | ||
| I am not, in fact, a fancy doctor or any kind of doctor. | ||
| Well, we treat you like our fancy doctor. | ||
| Yeah, but a vaccination is putting a little bit of a weakened strain of whatever it is into your body so that your cells develop an immune response to whatever it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And this is why the flu vaccine fails half the time. | ||
| Yeah, that's what I was going to bring up. | ||
| Because it's developed in conjunction with Australia, we never even get their strain of the flu, which tends to backfire. | ||
| Because it's like, well, we were working with the best we had. | ||
| Because it's a different strain. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Weird. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| So we got different ones in the US. | ||
| I'm annoyed with Fauci. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| Why? | ||
| There have been a lot of conspiracy theorists, and there have been a lot of anger towards him, and I'm not saying the same thing. | ||
| There have been conspiracy people who think, you know, a bunch of stuff about him, and then there's angry people, people who are mad at him, you know, because of his wishy-washiness, and that's, that's what I think is on point. | ||
| He says what in March? | ||
| Don't wear a mask. | ||
| You know, you're actually, you're actually, you know, tricking yourself into thinking you're gonna be safe, blah blah blah, and then what happens a month later? | ||
| If you don't wear a mask, you get arrested. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Fauci has been wishy-washy on everything, man. | ||
| Some people get arrested. | ||
| Some people get handed masks by the cops. | ||
| And that's a whole other subject, too. | ||
| Here's what I think. | ||
| It really does feel like Fauci is just doing whatever he thinks is safe. | ||
| That's why I'm annoyed. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| I can see that. | ||
| Because when these studies came out saying the vaccines might not be effective, a week later he goes, well, they might not be effective. | ||
| It's like, did you just read the story that came out a week ago? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Aren't you supposed to be the leading expert on this? | ||
| He's supposed to be the one setting the opinions on this, but what it really does feel like is that he's waiting until the media says something that seems safe, and then he waits until the public has saturated what they said, and is like, oh, okay, yeah, it is safe. | ||
| Alright, I'll say it. | ||
| So now that you're seeing a bunch of studies pop up saying prolonged lockdown is making things worse. | ||
| We've got the study from JP Morgan. | ||
| There was another study saying that 66% of people who were getting infected were the ones staying home. | ||
| And it's obvious. | ||
| For one, we're learning about vitamin D. So the easiest way I explain to people is, listen. | ||
| If you go out, you're less likely to come in contact with the same surfaces as somebody locked in a house because in the house, everyone's in a crammed tight space. | ||
| Everyone's in the kitchen, open in the fridge, going to the bathroom, anything like that. | ||
| So what ends up happening is the people who go out rarely get sick. | ||
| But if one of them does get sick and they go home, so if there's four people at home and one person working, the one person might get sick. | ||
| They come back home and now there's four at-home people sick. | ||
| So the people who are staying home are more likely to get sick because they're in close proximity. | ||
| And then the people who live by themselves, for instance. | ||
| So ultimately what the study said was more exposure to sunlight, less likely to come in contact with surfaces, even outside. | ||
| See, this is exactly what those doctors in California were talking about. | ||
| The video that kept getting deleted. | ||
| That's all they were talking about. | ||
| We need to be out there to expose ourselves to not just coronavirus, but all viruses that we hit up, bacteria that we hit up, because our immune system naturally is fighting it at all times. | ||
| When you're locked in, that's another thing into this study. | ||
| When you're locked in, your immune system just slowly gets worse and worse and worse because you're not constantly fighting new stuff and building up the natural antibodies to kill it. | ||
| And with that being said, I just want to do a quick reminder to the YouTube person who's got their fingers shaking over the band button, like, just eager to... Dr. Fauci says it's time to reopen. | ||
| OK. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Fauci said it. | ||
| I defer to the doctor who said that he is absolutely in favor of opening up. | ||
| So you can move your finger away from the band button. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Look at this article. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's Dr. Fauci. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This article is huge. | |
| Fauci says so. | ||
| Totally in favor. | ||
| Totally in favor. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| But that other article, though, I think sparked... Bring up the other one. | ||
| The one about the vaccine? | ||
| Yeah, this is way more important. | ||
| No guarantee the vaccine is actually going to be effective. | ||
| Did you hear that, California? | ||
| Yeah, don't stay locked down. | ||
| Locked down until there's a vaccine that Fauci is saying might not even be effective. | ||
| Why are you saying California? | ||
| We're in Jersey and Governor Murphy just said that. | ||
| Yeah, he said the same thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Did you hear that, New Jersey? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What else? | |
| What other states we got? | ||
| Michigan, New York, I don't know. | ||
| All those blue states. | ||
| So, let me tell you guys something. | ||
| This right now is just speculative. | ||
| We went down to the Atlas Gym. | ||
| You did say there's no guarantee. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, it's a little loose. | ||
| Let me tell you how freaky things can be. | ||
| Oh, tell me this story. | ||
| I actually know this story, but tell them. | ||
| Oh, there's a little bit more you don't know about. | ||
| Ooh! | ||
| Saving it for the show. | ||
| We went down to Atlas Gym. | ||
| We're very, very, we live very, very close to here. | ||
| This is the gym that's made national headlines because the two owners refused to stay closed. | ||
| They put up a bunch of social distancing guidelines. | ||
| People were coming in. | ||
| They were like, I think that, were they doing temperature checks on people? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if they were doing that. | ||
| Yeah, they were being very careful though. | ||
| Very careful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So the cops came, told them they were in violation, but then said, don't worry about it, like, | ||
| have a nice day. | ||
| Then came back and issued a citation. | ||
| Started issuing citations to people who were going in, and then arrested one guy, briefly, | ||
| because he didn't identify himself. | ||
| In the middle of the night, apparently something happened where these guys, the owners show | ||
| up and they see health notice, like notice of embargo from the health department. | ||
| And then they find that the bathrooms had been flooded from the toilets. | ||
| So I'm assuming it's sewage. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It doesn't necessarily mean it's like raw, nasty. | ||
| It's just, you know, whatever. | ||
| Toilet water. | ||
| Gross. | ||
| Well, it could be more than water. | ||
| And they said they found paper towels jammed in the pipes, but they don't have paper towels in their bathrooms. | ||
| Why would they? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, you know, it's- it's- I guess you could have those, like, those, like, brown napkin things. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Because they don't have them, right? | ||
| So when we went there, there's, uh, the building. | ||
| It's like, if this was an overhead view, here's the building, here's the entrance, and then there's this road that goes like this around the back, and there's a cemetery behind it. | ||
| So there's no way to get to there unless you hop the fence in the cemetery. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And this woman told us, this is just what I heard from a woman, so it couldn't- maybe it's fake news, I don't know. | ||
| She said that the other day, before the- the flooding happened, Okay. | ||
| a woman had claimed to have seen ducks in a drain or something | ||
| and then and then like no one pay attention or never in order okay and | ||
| then the cops shut down the road that went behind the building | ||
| and then the next day it was flooded and the drain behind the building had the | ||
| drain cap removed and apparently that's what i found paper towels | ||
| that could just be you know here say She could have been one woman who, you know, gave him a telephone. | ||
| So I'm not saying it's true. | ||
| I'm saying very, very much the opposite. | ||
| This is a story we were told from out front of the building, right? | ||
| You're talking about, like, animals. | ||
| Ducks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Birds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ducks. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Birds. | |
| She just saw some ducks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| In a drain that needed to be saved. | ||
| Oh, in the drain. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| So then after that, the cops blocked the road off. | ||
| How convenient. | ||
| Well, hold on. | ||
| We must save these ducks. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And while you're there, shove some toilet paper in there. | ||
| I have no confirmation the cops ever shut the road down. | ||
| I have no confirmation there was ever paper towels found. | ||
| It was reported on the news that the two guys said this happened. | ||
| Conspiracy. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| For all I know, maybe the two guys went in and flooded the toilets and then came back in the morning and said, oh no, look, our toilet's been flooded. | ||
| The point is, this is what people think and what they're saying. | ||
| So, what I said was, all that matters is, you said the police hit the road down, right? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then paper towels were jammed in the drain. | ||
| And the drain cap is suddenly missing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So who knows what that means. | ||
| People will speculate for sure, and I understand the speculation will lean towards it was sabotage. | ||
| But there's there's something else we noticed when we were leaving there was a white nationalist sticker on a flag on one of the light poles Yep, it's like someone took I don't it's called but it's like the paper with like the glue and you like yeah a bill kind of thing kind of yeah And it said something about like you being a Western man and resisting which way Western man Yeah, which is a white nationalist thing right now? | ||
| But then there was a sticker that said something like you let in immigrants and like you see what happens or whatever or something like that. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| Look, it's crazier. | ||
| Somebody handed one of the owners a megaphone to use. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it had white nationalist stickers on it. | ||
| And so then people took photos and started sharing them online. | ||
| So they trapped them. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Well, that's a setup if I ever heard of one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Holy moly. | ||
| And apparently like some dude showed up screaming Nazis animal. | ||
| And she's like, why are you calling us that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No answer. | ||
| Think about how easy it is to totally discredit anybody. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Handing him a microphone. | ||
| Here, use this! | ||
| And then the press takes photos and they're like, look at that sticker. | ||
| Wasn't there a Don't Tread on Me flag? | ||
| Yeah, there was a Gadsden flag. | ||
| A big, huge flag on the front of the business. | ||
| But that's an American Revolution flag, so... That's a feeling. | ||
| Of course they try to claim the Gadsden flag as white nationalist, which is... Is it? | ||
| Not even close. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I thought it was more libertarian, isn't it? | ||
| It's a flag of the American Revolution. | ||
| It's historical. | ||
| Yeah, it's the snake, Don't Tread on Me. | ||
| And then you have the awesome meme ones, my favorite ones. | ||
| I love them, they're out there. | ||
| So you've seen No Step on Snek? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I've seen the base one too. | ||
| Don't? | ||
| Yeah, don't. | ||
| The squiggly line says don't. | ||
| My favorite is the one that someone sent of you. | ||
| Don't tread on Tim. | ||
| And it's got a little beanie on the snake. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| I'll find it and post it later. | ||
| It's so good. | ||
| My favorite is the one that says, don't cough on me. | ||
| And the snake is wearing a little mask. | ||
| That's the best one. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| If only they could have seen in the future what we would do with their flags. | ||
| Their navy flag. | ||
| They had no idea. | ||
| How many memes? | ||
| Let me ask you a question, man. | ||
| Please do. | ||
| It's really easy to say don't tread on me and be libertarian when the country is tiny, the population is in a few million, and everyone lives a mile from each other. | ||
| I understand there were still cities and towns, but it was a lot easier when it was just 13 colonies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Well, even then, you know, it's really funny when I think back to the colonies, I'm like, | ||
| it's funny that they considered all of this territory the colony when like, it's one city | ||
| on the water with, you know, like a few thousand people. | ||
| Yeah, basically. | ||
| But they're like the whole area. | ||
| But uh... | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| Something's gonna happen, and I think it's gonna happen no matter what we want because of population growth. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like, how do you... Look, I wanna wake up at six in the morning and go skate, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I can't, it's too noisy. | ||
| Neighbors will get mad. | ||
| So I can't do that. | ||
| The police will make an order saying, you disrupt too many people, therefore you can't do it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I can't say in that regard, don't tread on me, can I? | ||
| Like the government's coming and telling me I can't ride my board? | ||
| I'm not even doing anything to nobody. | ||
| That's not fair. | ||
| Don't tread on me, but have some general respect for your neighbors. | ||
| Is that basically what... Yeah, I guess I see what you're saying, though. | ||
| So look at it this way, like... Within limits. | ||
| In our house right now, we can bang on the drums as loud as we want. | ||
| In New York, you can't do that. | ||
| Because everybody's crammed on top of each other. | ||
| Yeah, a bunch of shoeboxes stacked on each other. | ||
| Now, that being said, New York is collapsing. | ||
| And everyone's fleeing the city, so maybe... Yeah, New Yorkers are going nuts. | ||
| I've seen some crazy videos of what's going on in New York. | ||
| People are straight up banging on the corner, dude. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| It's like, oh, that's right, right? | ||
| Naked. | ||
| Like, wait, what do you mean? | ||
| Banging on the corner. | ||
| That's all I can say. | ||
| But that's happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, what? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Banging the drum. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| You've seen the photos. | ||
| The drum. | ||
| Quote, unquote, drum. | ||
| You've seen the video of them, like, jumping on top of SUVs. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And everyone's dancing and yelling. | ||
| What is going on? | ||
| They're losing it. | ||
| They're losing it. | ||
| So here's the question I was having, right? | ||
| We can see that there's a tendency to where, like, as humans get crammed closer and closer together, You know, can you reasonably demand certain rights when everyone's living on top of each other? | ||
| Like, obviously, base rights, yes. | ||
| But, I can play music here and be noisy. | ||
| Can't do it in New York. | ||
| Well, even just the, we'll go with the owning a gun. | ||
| Like, you can't have a gun in New York City. | ||
| Is that because people live too close to each other? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or because... I mean... I don't know. | |
| I know that there's people in New York. | ||
| Like, a guy... For example, I was riding the subway. | ||
| Sat down. | ||
| I was wearing some brand new sneakers. | ||
| I saw a guy look at me, walk over, walk past me, step right on my shoes. | ||
| And I was just like, hey man. | ||
| What was that about? | ||
| And he looked at me and said, he like glanced down, he had a razor blade in his hand. | ||
| He said, I'll cut you. | ||
| Say something again. | ||
| I was like, wow. | ||
| And I just stood up and like walked off. | ||
| But they're charged. | ||
| The people in New York, not everybody in New York, but there's people that have aggression | ||
| Like, I don't know where he was at. | ||
| I don't know what he was doing. | ||
| I didn't even know, like, what I did to provoke him. | ||
| I had brand new shoes on. | ||
| Maybe that pissed him off. | ||
| Some people just want to watch the movie. | ||
| People in New York, yes, but imagine if he had a gun instead of a razor blade. | ||
| You know, he could have just been like, boom, and ran off the subway. | ||
| I mean, he could have cut my throat. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Do you see the video of those dudes? | ||
| There's like an Asian woman at a bus stop, and these three kids walk up and they're all laughing, and the kid dropkicks her in the face. | ||
| It was actually a crane kick. | ||
| I wouldn't call it a dropkick, but it was a crane kick. | ||
| No, that's so messed up. | ||
| Gotta call the maneuver accurately. | ||
| Or you see the, what is it called, the knockout game they do? | ||
| We talked about that, didn't we? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Yeah, where they kick the feet out from under each other? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, This is New York. | ||
| Specifically New York. | ||
| True, but I mean, you could do that anywhere. | ||
| We're talking about rules in a city of people compounding each other, living all together. | ||
| People can knock someone out anywhere you're at. | ||
| I'm talking about rules versus... Right, except if you had a very, very tiny colony, and the population density was like 10 people per square mile... So everyone knew each other. | ||
| Not only- and not- right, and so if some kid was like, I'm gonna go knock out Mr. Johnson, he wouldn't do it. | ||
| So now you're getting bigger and bigger cities, humans can't know each other that much, they're living on top of each other, but it's not only that, there weren't that many people to actually- look, if you had a murderer back then, it's like they go on the prowl and after one night find one person. | ||
| Whereas in New York, these people walk into a building and there's 500 people running around. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they go nuts. | ||
| So it's like... This is interesting because I think Joe kind of mentioned this, Joe Rogan, when I was on the show about... I think he mentioned this. | ||
| Is it a natural tendency of civilizations that when they're so old, they've been around for so long, they just drift towards authoritarianism? | ||
| OK. | ||
| China, for example. | ||
| China, for example, but also their population density. | ||
| Like, Wuhan is a town of, what, like 10 million? | ||
| Oh gosh, I don't know. | ||
| That's a lot of people. | ||
| That's New York City! | ||
| And that's not even their big city. | ||
| We never even heard of that. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| We never even heard of Wuhan. | ||
| I didn't. | ||
| I can honestly say I never heard of Wuhan before this year. | ||
| Could you imagine if someone was like, I've never heard of New York City, where's that? | ||
| You'd be like, are you kidding me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on! | |
| It's not even one of the, like what is Tokyo, like 30 million people? | ||
| Oh wow. | ||
| Is it really? | ||
| It's so big. | ||
| That's huge. | ||
| I had no idea. | ||
| Same. | ||
| And we think like New York is this big massive city, and it is, but to us. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so you look at how China operates, they welded people's doors shut. | ||
| That's nuts. | ||
| Is that maybe because there's just too many people now? | ||
| And then it's also like, I think it's a product of democracy. | ||
| And this is one of the problems with democracy versus a republic, for instance. | ||
| If you have two people and they cross paths and they get into an argument, you try to, you know, mediate. | ||
| Hey, hey, whoa, whoa. | ||
| If you have two people and one person, then you have two witnesses against the one person. | ||
| And guess who wins the argument? | ||
| The two. | ||
| Now you have a big city where you have millions of people, and you get one person who's sick, and you get millions of people saying, well, lock them up! | ||
| And so that's the tyranny of the majority. | ||
| So you end up with these massive societies with tens of millions of people crammed into tiny spaces, and they all react drastically and violently towards any threat to the system. | ||
| Whereas if you had a small town somewhere, like when we were driving to LA, we mentioned this the other day, there was a town where they did literally nothing. | ||
| No social distancing. | ||
| No masks. | ||
| And the lady just laughed. | ||
| We don't care. | ||
| We're all preppers. | ||
| We don't care. | ||
| Who was it that said this? | ||
| That they tend to get more authoritarian? | ||
| Joe is asking that. | ||
| Okay, I have an idea. | ||
| So because I just looked this up, because I looked up Wuhan. | ||
| So there's a city in China called Chongqing, and I don't know if either of you guys have ever heard of it. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| 30.48 million people. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And that makes me think that you can only control that large of a population, what 1.39 billion, by being complete authoritarians. | ||
| There's no, there's like, how are you supposed to do that? | ||
| How do you give that many people freedom? | ||
| I don't even know if it would work. | ||
| So, that's just my two cents. | ||
| One person wants to play the drums, and you go, bro, there's a thousand people complaining about the drums. | ||
| They voted you out. | ||
| You can't play the drums now. | ||
| Yep, and we're gonna come and fix it for you. | ||
| That's the importance of a Bill of Rights. | ||
| Like, if there was an amendment, like, we hereby, the people, guarantee the right to play drums, then you'd be like, I don't care how many people get mad, Constitution says I can play drums. | ||
| All I can think about right now is this whole social justice thing. | ||
| It feels like the beginning because there's a few people that are screaming for social justice. | ||
| And then, you know, enough people say, I guess that's something we need to make laws about. | ||
| And then they make laws and ruin it for everybody and kind of like shut it down. | ||
| And then slowly and slowly we turn into this authoritarian world where you're not allowed to do anything. | ||
| And the government welds your door shut if there's a pandemic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, China. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| But one of the weirdest things that's happening with social justice stuff is they're not even arguing the laws anymore, they're just like, changing the definition of the word. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| For real. | ||
| To fit the law that's already in place. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So if woman doesn't mean biological female, then the law doesn't mean biological female. | ||
| It's an end run around how the laws have been formed. | ||
| Really sneaky. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| I mean, really creepy. | ||
| When you look at it that way, it's like all laws are null and void then, because we can just change the definition of whatever we want to make it not illegal. | ||
| Second Amendment, bro. | ||
| Man. | ||
| It's like, the language is, you've got, one thing the left always brings up about the Second Amendment is that it says, a well-regulated militia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it's like, do you know what any of those words mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| Because there's a bunch of arguments I've heard. | ||
| One of the arguments I've heard is that regulated didn't mean controlled by the government, | ||
| it meant armed. | ||
| Like regulars. | ||
| I don't think this is true though. | ||
| But I'm just saying, to interpret the word in a different way. | ||
| To us, regulation is like when the government comes in and says, we got all these checked | ||
| boxes and now you're operating properly. | ||
| You've been, you know, you're under regulation. | ||
| You're not allowed to do this or we'll come in and fine you. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But then you can look back and see and argue that back then regulated meant you were equipped with the best weapons and like, you know, the best military gear and stuff like that. | ||
| So you were up to date and trained. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I don't think that's true either, it's just something I've heard. | ||
| The point is, people will bring up what they really meant, and then the left will argue semantics. | ||
| So even though it's clear, as of right now, what the Second Amendment says, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, why would we even argue the language? | ||
| Actually, Family, I made a really funny joke about it. | ||
| It was a cutaway gag where they mention, you know, the Founding Fathers were clear or whatever. | ||
| And then it shows a cutaway. | ||
| And then they're like, are you sure the language is clear enough on the Second Amendment? | ||
| And it's like, yeah, yeah. | ||
| What can't you understand? | ||
| Everyone can have a pair of bare arms. | ||
| And then there's bare arms on the wall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, you can keep... You can keep bare arms, yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| It's perfectly clear. | ||
| I have seen that, actually. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| It's funny. | ||
| And so as language changes, the amendments, you know, will mean something different. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, eventually you'll end up with someone arguing, infringe, what does that really mean? | ||
| And then there'll be a court case and they'll say, infringe actually means, and they'll say, it doesn't mean the government can't make laws about it, it means there must be due process. | ||
| So it's all about the arguments, right? | ||
| The founding fathers didn't mean the government couldn't do it, they meant that it had to be due process. | ||
| Or just change the word of fringe or infringed completely to mean something else. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Tweak the language. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Infringed, like inflammable means it can be fringed upon. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Fringing. | ||
| That's a thing. | ||
| Fringing. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I love how there's like archaic words that don't make sense anymore. | ||
| Like gruntled. | ||
| A gruntled employee. | ||
| Disgruntled. | ||
| Gruntled. | ||
| Gruntled. | ||
| Gruntled means satisfied and happy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Combobulate. | ||
| Gruntled. | ||
| Gruntled. | ||
| You know, for the record, I'm gruntled. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm quite gruntled with the show and this podcast. | |
| I'm glad to hear. | ||
| I hope everyone else is too. | ||
| That is a good word I've never actually used or heard before. | ||
| Disgruntled, yes. | ||
| Well, speaking of tyranny, now is a good opportunity to talk about a horrifying story, if it loads properly. | ||
| Oh, there we go. | ||
| Oh, this. | ||
| This is scary. | ||
| Oh man, yeah, you're not kidding. | ||
| Government contact tracing app sends user data to Foursquare and Google. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Oh yeah, good question. | ||
| So apparently, this is in North Dakota, there is a new contact tracing app they've been using, and it is sending your private data to private companies. | ||
| And there's even an argument, it's contact monetization, because the data can be sold and used. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Holy wow. | ||
| So this is from futurism.com, and it gives us kind of like a quick summary of a couple different articles, so I'll just read this to you, and then we can talk about, we can carry on our conversation about, yeah, do we even have rights at this point? | ||
| Public access. | ||
| They report. | ||
| There's a troubling flaw with the coronavirus contact tracing app used in North Dakota. | ||
| It violates its own privacy policy by quietly sending users information to companies like Foursquare. | ||
| Now I'll just, I'll stop real quick, give you guys some context for those that aren't familiar. | ||
| Contact tracing is this idea that, say, your phone. | ||
| When I walk up to Adam, my phone knows his phone, and so it records the contact. | ||
| And then governments can look at who talked to who to try and figure out where the virus may have spread from. | ||
| How convenient. | ||
| So now they want all these people to download this app so that they can look on a map and see who talked to who and every, like, that's insane. | ||
| Insane spying, right? | ||
| Insane. | ||
| So they tell us, it's for your safety. | ||
| You know, there's a virus, man. | ||
| If you get sick, we want to know how you got sick and who you came into contact with, right? | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| And they go and sell your data to a private third-party company, and what are they going to do with it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That seems like a sneaky way they were able to get access to our private information. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| And now we're seeing this. | ||
| Consumer privacy app company Jumbo studied the app, Care19, and found that it was transmitting information to third parties, including Foursquare and Google, according to the Washington Post. | ||
| Yeah, damn straight. | ||
| is unfortunate not only because it's a major privacy violation, but also because it threatens | ||
| to erode the public's trust in government attempts to contain COVID-19. And the public | ||
| has already lost trust for a lot of reasons. Proud Crowd, here's this contact monetization. | ||
| Proud Crowd, the company that developed the contact tracing app, confirmed that it sends | ||
| data, but says it's not for commercial purposes, according to WAPO. And a Foursquare spokesperson | ||
| told WAPO they don't use that data and it's promptly discarded. | ||
| But the fact remains that CARE19 users were told their data wouldn't be sent out at all. | ||
| Yeah, but they said they were selling it to them, though. | ||
| Selling it to third-party apps. | ||
| It says selling? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Oh, I thought they said in the first thing you read. | ||
| No, it's sending it to. | ||
| Oh, sending it to. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Well, like monetization, though. | ||
| Is that not selling? | ||
| I don't care what they said. | ||
| You know why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because they're liars. | |
| Remember Cambridge Analytica? | ||
| Don't worry, your data will be discarded and then we'll sell it to a private company to harvest voter data to be used in political campaigns. | ||
| Think about what they can do with all this data. | ||
| They don't just know who you talk to, they know where you go. | ||
| Think about it this way. | ||
| If you're downtown in your city, and I come into contact with Adam. | ||
| Then, 30 minutes later, I come into contact with Lydia in the southwest suburbs. | ||
| They now basically know the most likely route I took, where I went. | ||
| The time it took for you to get there. | ||
| They know if I was speeding in my car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| Oh yeah, they do. | ||
| They're going to be like, that's interesting. | ||
| It should have taken you an hour to get there, but you got there in 45 minutes. | ||
| You must have been going pretty fast. | ||
| Nope, no break, you know? | ||
| They can also see if it took longer, they can be like, must've stopped for food. | ||
| Then, it's not even about who I know. | ||
| They would've been able to tell where you stopped. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yup. | |
| Because I won't even know Bill Johnson, who's getting a cheeseburger at Carl's Jr. | ||
| But I pulled up to the drive-thru, and he was in front of me, and that's the- You touched something he touched. | ||
| The best part? | ||
| Whatever the range is for the cell phones. | ||
| And now they know exactly where I stopped. | ||
| Because everyone, and they're going to see clusters on the map, and here's the best part. | ||
| Now they're going to tell you, trust us. | ||
| Just Adam, trust me. | ||
| I'm not going to send your data to private companies to sell. | ||
| Lydia, you want to buy Adam's data? | ||
| Uh, sure. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| Sounds great. | ||
| I don't like this. | ||
| Don't look at me! | ||
| It was an action. | ||
| Why do you want my information, Liddy? | ||
| I don't know, I'm really curious. | ||
| She wants to know what you get to get you for your birthday. | ||
| That's true, I do. | ||
| She wants to know where I got my sweatshirt. | ||
| Yeah, that too. | ||
| Yeah, I figured that out on my own. | ||
| So let's hear a little bit more they say. | ||
| Quote, sharing what is supposed to be an anonymous code along with an advertising identifier has serious privacy risks. | ||
| Why would there be an advertising identifier at all? | ||
| Yeah, why? | ||
| It's exactly what you'd expect, man. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Listen, if the government came and said, we just want to know who you've been talking to. | ||
| It has nothing to do with anything. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| And you're like, okay, you're a moron. | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Okay, sir. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Lawyer, whatever you say. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If you will be advised by any lawyer worth their weight, do not talk to any law enforcement without a lawyer. | ||
| Period. | ||
| I'm not a lawyer. | ||
| That's not advice for me. | ||
| It's just what I was told. | ||
| I watched a YouTube video once. | ||
| That's what they said. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, if you heard it on the Internet. | ||
| But think about the data the government is asking for. | ||
| With you having, without having a warrant, without having even talks to legal, you know, representation or anything. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then think about what they might say if there's a lockdown, and they go, according to the app, you were in the park. | ||
| Remember that dude in Hawaii who got arrested because he took selfies? | ||
| No, I didn't hear about that. | ||
| Some dude went to Hawaii, and then he immediately went out and took selfies and was having a good time. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Police saw the pictures on social media, or people saw the pictures, reported him, cops came and arrested him. | ||
| And they said, it's a 14-day quarantine, as soon as you come, and because you took these pictures, we know where you were, you're under arrest. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| There was apparently another woman, same thing happened to her, I just saw this story earlier today, that she like posted selfies on the beach, and the beach was closed or something, so they went and found her. | ||
| So think about contact tracing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's a scary world we live in. | ||
| Yeah, I don't like that. | ||
| No, I don't like this at all. | ||
| What do you mean it's coming? | ||
| It's here! | ||
| The park was closed. That's a scary world. We'll give you a ticket. Yeah, I don't like that. Yeah, I don't like this at | ||
| all, bro It's coming. It's good. It's it's gonna be you know, I mean, | ||
| it's coming. It's here. They're doing it I mean widespread national everyone's gonna be happy and | ||
| like oh I got my contact tracing it now the government knows where I am great | ||
| Perfect, you know, I think about like think about living in the 1800s | ||
| And I'm like watching these old Westerns and stuff and I'm like what's to stop some dude from just killing literally | ||
| anybody and then getting away Yep. | ||
| My mind goes to Red Dead Redemption 2. | ||
| You're going down the road, you see someone, boom. | ||
| No, you throw a rope around their neck and drag them. | ||
| Who would know? | ||
| No one would know, and no one does now. | ||
| And you just keep riding, and you're good. | ||
| I mean, to be honest, a lot of people don't know this, this is kind of scary. | ||
| I believe the overwhelming majority of premeditated murder is never solved. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Never solved. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds right, unfortunately. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Most murders that are solved are passion crimes. | ||
| Because it's obvious. | ||
| It's the ones that aren't well planned from idiots. | ||
| That's scary, dude. | ||
| It's really scary. | ||
| It's like a small percentage. | ||
| I think it's actually decent enough, though. | ||
| Like, premeditated murder, it's like, you know, I think it's like 40% or something. | ||
| It's solved. | ||
| That's still not very high on the number. | ||
| Oh, actually, no, no. | ||
| I think I'm wrong. | ||
| I think I'm wrong. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| I think it's way less. | ||
| I think it's way, way less. | ||
| Yeah, look it up. | ||
| I'm looking it up. | ||
| Cause it's something I heard a really, really long time ago. | ||
| Yeah, wow. | ||
| That like, I think it was passion murders actually have a less than, less than chance likelihood of being, you know, solved. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| There's a 40% chance he'll get away with murder something, something. | ||
| Premeditated? | ||
| In America. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| The police assault rate is even worse for other crimes. | ||
| If you murder someone in America, there's nearly 40% chance he'll get away with it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So there's a 60% chance that they'll find him. | ||
| Is that specifically premeditated or are they combining all different kinds of murder? | ||
| Oh, so that's from the FBI's latest date on crime. | ||
| Yeah, that makes more sense, what you're saying then. | ||
| Premeditated? | ||
| Well, no, the passion murders, they solve. | ||
| So, of course, the total number of murders that they find would be higher. | ||
| I'm curious if that actually tracked only premeditated. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Because I remember being told this, I don't know if it's true, it's been a long, long time, that it takes only a little bit of obfuscation or misdirection to thwart an investigation. | ||
| And so it's, you know, that's scary. | ||
| I guess, actually, that's an argument for contact tracing. | ||
| Because then it's like, you turn up dead, and they're like... Yeah, I was gonna say, this is sounding like an argument for it. | ||
| Find out where he was! | ||
| Yeah, where was he? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who took him? | |
| Well, actually, no, I mean, that's why I brought it up. | ||
| I'm like, you think about the technology back then, and it was like, someone, you could be taking a leak behind the saloon, and someone would walk up and go, bang! | ||
| And they walk away, and that's it. | ||
| That's it, curtains for you. | ||
| Wasn't me! | ||
| Yeah, it's like, you'd probably think that it's the same back then. | ||
| Passion murders are probably the ones they solved. | ||
| Well, who hated this person? | ||
| Well, Joe Hanson over here, he hated him, and he's like, washing the blood off his hands, like, Joe Hanson, we got you! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Haha! | |
| And that's pretty much it. | ||
| I guess what's scary for back then is the likelihood of innocent people being locked up was substantially higher. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Like, even going back a few decades, we have innocent people in prison and then DNA evidence. | ||
| It's probably still happening. | ||
| Oh, it definitely is. | ||
| That's why I oppose the death penalty, man. | ||
| You hear that story? | ||
| I'm gonna be very, very vague with the language here. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There's a story of a guy who, he wrote this long message. | ||
| He confessed to murder because he saw a guy in his neighborhood who was, uh, did some bad things to kids. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he looked him up, saw that, and he was like, I was, and he killed the guy. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| This is right now, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I know what you're talking about. | ||
| a ton of money. | ||
| Oh, I know. | ||
| This is right now, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right now. | ||
| I know what you're talking about. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| So this guy, like people on Twitter are like, he's a hero, he's a hero and all this stuff. | ||
| They're raising a bunch of money for him. | ||
| And I'm like, for me, it's kind of like, man. | ||
| I mean, he murdered, still murdered somebody. | ||
| I empathize. | ||
| Like this dude is as bad, like, wow. | ||
| The guy he did kill? | ||
| The guy who got killed was convicted 13 years ago. | ||
| The challenge is innocent until proven guilty. | ||
| And so if this guy got convicted 13 years ago, then what you need to do is prove it. | ||
| But I bring this up because You know, if we're dealing with the use of technology to prove innocence and stuff, we have to recognize the fact that there are going to be people who are locked up who didn't do anything wrong. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then if you think, you know, we can kill people, then the argument I hear from people is often, I'm OK with killing one innocent person out of X if it means we get rid of bad people. | ||
| And I'm like, man, I could not imagine being that innocent person. | ||
| Yeah, all you have to do is be like sacrifice. | ||
| Would you be that innocent person then? | ||
| Do you want to be the sacrifice? | ||
| I don't think everyone could say yes though in that situation though. | ||
| Do you want to be the sacrifice to make the system work? | ||
| I don't want any innocent people to be killed. | ||
| No, I just mean like, I'm not saying, I'm not literally asking, but it's like, | ||
| you know, if it is better than 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer. | ||
| And I think Ben Franklin said it's better than 100 guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer. | ||
| And like, I completely agree with that. | ||
| Can't argue with that, yeah. | ||
| It's a challenge though because people turn it around and say, | ||
| what if that one murderer who gets released murders another person and now an innocent | ||
| person has suffered? Yeah, that's a really important point to bring up. | ||
| It is a good point. | ||
| Man, conundrums. And that brings me back to the contact tracing argument | ||
| because now you come back to the security versus freedom. | ||
| If this contact tracing app can be used in a bunch of different ways, it could stop murderers. | ||
| Well, I mean, it feels like they could do that without giving our data to private companies. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| That's the problem. | ||
| That's the line where I'm like, OK, whoa. | ||
| Like, what are you doing giving our information away? | ||
| Like, you want to use it? | ||
| You want to use it for this? | ||
| Now, obviously, they're already using it. | ||
| So. | ||
| Well, I agree, but my line is giving the government access to know where I am at all times. | ||
| Well, I agree. | ||
| I don't want them to have that information anyway. | ||
| But they do. | ||
| But they haven't. | ||
| It's like, alright. | ||
| We've already given all of our contact data to Facebook. | ||
| So it's like, for me to sit here and be like, oh, harumph! | ||
| Harumph I say! | ||
| Facebook, they already know when I'm pooping. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Now I feel like every time I poop I get this urge to just tweet at Facebook. | ||
| Like, hey Facebook, Guess what I'm doing. | ||
| I'm pooping right now. | ||
| You know what I want to do? | ||
| You know the Kilroy meme? | ||
| Kilroy was here. | ||
| Yeah, the world's oldest meme or whatever. | ||
| I want to make that, but it's Mark Zuckerberg. | ||
| And I want to put the decal in the bathroom. | ||
| No, how dare you? | ||
| So whenever you're in there, there's like a Zuckerberg face. | ||
| I don't like that. | ||
| Peeking out over a wall. | ||
| Gross. | ||
| Over a big Facebook logo. | ||
| I don't want it. | ||
| Or underneath in the toilet bowl. | ||
| You know what would be funny? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| In just public restrooms. | ||
| In stalls. | ||
| Oh, oh, in stalls. | ||
| I thought you meant like here. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was like, no. | ||
| Or you can have like some sort of machine that when you sit down, as soon as it senses that someone's sitting down, it comes up from the other side. | ||
| Oh no, it's just an ad for something. | ||
| Zuckerberg's face. | ||
| If you had a sticker, you could easily just be on the inside of a stall. | ||
| When people walk into stalls, they don't look at it. | ||
| So you walk in, they close it, they turn, then they sit down and look up, and there's Zuckerberg looking down. | ||
| Maybe with a magnifying glass. | ||
| And a word bubble that says, I'm watching you poop. | ||
| Or, no, no, no, I'm sorry, I know you're pooping. | ||
| I know you're pooping now. | ||
| That's pretty good! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright, we got another... No, no, no, no, no, no! | |
| Talk to me later. | ||
| Oh, of course, she took the camera away. | ||
| Talk to me later. | ||
| No Zuckerberg stickers. | ||
| I got a site. | ||
| But I'll tell you what, it would be an excellent informational campaign to explain to people about what it means when you're giving up your privacy. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| But hold on, let me ask you then. | ||
| Is it really that big of a deal if Zuckerberg knows you're pooping? | ||
| I thought about that too, because we've talked about them knowing when I poop a lot, and I'm just like, you know what, Facebook? | ||
| Have at it. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Sell my pooping times to... So, let's talk freedom versus security. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| What if you're pooping, and then you're straining really hard, and like an embolism pops in your brain, and then you collapse. | ||
| And then Facebook... I'm picturing it. | ||
| Facebook's tracking you, right? | ||
| And so Facebook's predictive model is like, okay, he should be in the bathroom for, you know, about a minute, and then he should get up and he should go to Taco Bell like normal, but then you don't go to Taco Bell. | ||
| Yes, one minute, that's all it takes. | ||
| And they notice your phone isn't moving, and then it calculates the probability, and then it says, in all likelihood, Adam was injured, and then they call 911, and the ambulance shows up, and there you are, keeled over in your bathroom with like one eye bloodshot, and you're like... | ||
| And they save your life. | ||
| Yeah, hey, that actually happened. | ||
| So there was a guy. | ||
| Are you serious? | ||
| Yeah, so there was a guy who was riding a mountain bike and he like went over the handlebars. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was wearing his Apple fitness watch or whatever. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they were like, oh my gosh, this suddenly stopped and then it stopped moving completely. | ||
| And so they sent paramedics to his location because of course they had his location. | ||
| Wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's kind of cool though. | ||
| Kind of yeah, well, that's a perfect example of where it's a good thing that is security | ||
| I mean, I don't know how hurt he was Well the guy what about that movie 48 hours dude broke his | ||
| arm with like a saw his arm like a yeah You got pinned in you know he actually sawed his arm off | ||
| and what got out Movie but I know that's what it's about | ||
| It's a real story. | ||
| His arm? | ||
| I thought there was a movie or like a story about a guy who had a tree fall on his leg and then he pulled out a pocket knife and then he just like... What a way to go! | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was like, lose a leg or lose your life, buddy. | |
| But back to what you were talking about though, the security versus infringement, or freedom and security, I guess. | ||
| But I guess, theoretically, your freedom, when it comes to having your data tracked in certain ways, it's possible you're not going to give up any freedom, maybe a little bit, but gain a lot more security. | ||
| Maybe for older people? | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| Yeah, because they detected an arrhythmia for another lady. | ||
| Wow, really? | ||
| Yeah, she had atrial fibrillation and they were watching her heart like usual and they were like, holy cow, it's really irregular and it's really fast because it gets up into like 140 sometimes and it's really, really, I mean, you'll be sitting there doing absolutely nothing and your atria are just fibrillating. | ||
| So what, she had like a Fitbit on or something? | ||
| Yeah, she was wearing her, again, like her iWatch. | ||
| Oh, okay, okay. | ||
| So I was like, that could be useful for some people. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Mark Zuckerberg is our friend. | ||
| We should love Facebook. | ||
| Hold on, wait a minute. | ||
| Is that the right beanie? | ||
| What beanie you got on? | ||
| There's a Facebook logo on the back. | ||
| While the camera was changed, someone took a little computer chip. | ||
| Tim, blink three times if it's you. | ||
| Tim Cook, yeah. | ||
| There is an interesting problem with just general freedom versus security in a broader sense. | ||
| Wait, you just blinked three times. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| I'm blinking. | ||
| I'm blinking SOS. | ||
| Feels good. | ||
| Another way to look at it is ATMs at banks. | ||
| The monopolization of banks is a bad thing. | ||
| These big banks then become too big to fail. | ||
| Then they start panicking and it causes major economic collapse like in 2008. | ||
| But it is pretty convenient You know, nowadays how you can go anywhere and find an ATM because there's only a few banks. | ||
| True. | ||
| It's like, there's a convenience to having that one ubiquitous service, but a major detriment then to them being too powerful and then being unable to stop. | ||
| And then when they screw things up, they beg and the government has to bail them out. | ||
| So, it's like, maybe the convenience isn't really worth it? | ||
| I mean, competition is really important, and we're losing that, too. | ||
| True. | ||
| But anyway, back to the contact tracing stuff. | ||
| Convenience is a really easy way to steal freedom. | ||
| Yeah, but in that same sense, it's like, ATMs is convenient for us. | ||
| What do we get out of this contact tracing stuff? | ||
| Like, what has it really given us? | ||
| Unless you're old. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Public health. | |
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're gonna call it public health. | |
| Let's entertain their actual argument if there was a serious outbreak. | ||
| I mean, there is. | ||
| I mean, a more serious one, like some kind of airborne Ebola or something. | ||
| Then it would be great, actually. | ||
| That's the scary thing, because, you know, it's what I was talking about with, like, population growth. | ||
| I mean, we've got real adversaries, right? | ||
| And the challenge is knowing where the line needs to be drawn, and when security needs to override certain things. | ||
| It's not as easy to say, you know, absolute in any direction. | ||
| Now I definitely think we want to veer, I always veer towards freedom, for sure. | ||
| Because power tends to corrupt, absolute power tends to corrupt, absolutely. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You give someone emergency powers, what do they do? | ||
| They go Whitmer on you. | ||
| They go Queen Karen. | ||
| Let's turn that into a thing. | ||
| Goin' Whitmer? | ||
| Goin' Whitmer. | ||
| Goin' Whitmer. | ||
| Terrifying. | ||
| She went after a 70-year-old barber! | ||
| I know! | ||
| But look at Governor Murphy! | ||
| He's like, these two young men running a gym, I'll get you! | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, I'm gonna bring the full force of the law down on you in your sewer system. | |
| Conspiracy, conspiracy. | ||
| But the governor directly threatened them saying it's like this is not a game like we will you know come after you it's like yeah life isn't a game they want to support their families that's what they're thinking and they're not the only gym they're not trying to play games Yeah. | ||
| Can't believe that. | ||
| That's the main problem, is that you can't expect the convenience offered to you to be used properly. | ||
| As we've seen with this contact tracing app, they can whisper all the sweet nothings into your ears about how if you're in your living room, you think you gotta fart, but then you pop a vein in your brain and you collapse, we'll save you. | ||
| If you fall off your bike or whatever, we'll be there for you. | ||
| It all sounds good. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| Those few and far between stories of where it actually does make sense. | ||
| It's like, okay, yeah, what about how, how about, you know, exactly what every single person is doing and you're, you're giving it to private info, you know, private money off of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Making money off of it. | ||
| Also think about how, how they could, uh, they could come after you for anything. | ||
| Like I said, like the guy who went to the beach. | ||
| Oh, you were speeding. | ||
| Yup. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, they're already watching that. | ||
| You get a ticket in the mail. | ||
| Yeah, so OK, so this is something that I noticed when I use Google Maps is that they'll tell you what the speed limit is here and then right beside it is your speed. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Really? | ||
| It gives you your speed now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And I was like, I was afraid of that before. | ||
| I was like, this is how they're going to get us. | ||
| I'll just send you the ticket in the mail. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know what the big problem with this is? | ||
| Because I did an interview with this guy named Moxie Marlinspike, a famous data privacy technologist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And people often say, what's the big deal? | ||
| If I'm not doing anything wrong, I got nothing to worry about, right? | ||
| And his response was, no, because think about the legalization of marijuana across the country. | ||
| It's illegal, federally. | ||
| How would we know we want it legal unless someone broke the law? | ||
| If they always know what you're doing, then the only thing that can happen | ||
| is more laws will be created and laws will never be repealed. | ||
| Moving further and further towards authoritarianism. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's the danger of spying on people, because people need to be able to bend and break and change these laws. | ||
| Now we just saw, I think, in Virginia they just signed a bill decriminalizing marijuana. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| I'm sure there's a lot of people who don't like it. | ||
| There are a lot of states that have legalized it, but it's a relatively popular thing. | ||
| I mean, I'm convinced that if Trump came out right now and said something like, we're going to legalize marijuana across this country federally, we're going to tax it, it's going to be great. | ||
| Biggest landslide ever. | ||
| Young people would vote for that. | ||
| Trump's winning. | ||
| Trump, Biden, go home. | ||
| Go back to the old home that you came from. | ||
| And Biden's opposed to pot. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| People have gone nuts. | ||
| What is he doing? | ||
| Young people want regulated, legalized- So out of touch. | ||
| Well, he's taking his time. | ||
| He's getting one group at a time to not vote for him. | ||
| Yeah, I got one today. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Yeah, today. | ||
| Oh, we didn't even talk about that yet. | ||
| Let's talk about it now. | ||
| Let's move on. | ||
| Joe Biden is back. | ||
| Oh, with a vengeance. | ||
| Oh my gosh, Joe Biden is on fire. | ||
| Like literally, he's burning. | ||
| Yeah, he really is going down in flames. | ||
| I mean, this is a little much. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| You gotta capitalize on your enemy's mistakes, man. | ||
| I mean, he said it, though. | ||
| That's the crazy thing that blows me away. | ||
| Like, what? | ||
| This is the difference. Pull this up. Joe Biden apologizes. | ||
| Donald Trump sells the shirt. | ||
| Huh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who's the winner? | |
| Who's the winner? | ||
| Look, man, it's funny to me that all these conservatives came out and were like railing | ||
| on Biden. | ||
| Like, how dare you? | ||
| So let me give you guys the context first, because I'm sure most of you know, because | ||
| it was a nationwide trend. | ||
| Yeah, all day. | ||
| I got I got offended, you know, a little bit from this. | ||
| I'm like, wow. | ||
| So Joe Biden's doing an interview with, what's the Breakfast Club? | ||
| Yeah, Charlemagne Tha God. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And Biden basically says, I've got to go. | ||
| My wife's got to come on. | ||
| And Charlemagne's like, well, you know, when you come back to New York, I got more questions for you. | ||
| And then Biden basically said, if you haven't figured out, you know, if you're voting for me, you know, if you're voting for me or Trump, then you ain't black or whatever. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| And Charlie, man, the guy was like, no, it's not about white or black. | ||
| It's about real questions. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I was like, dude, yes, yes. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I want stuff for my community. | ||
| So Joe Biden, man, he forced it to be a race issue. | ||
| What an idiot. | ||
| He threw that out there. | ||
| You know, what's crazy is... | ||
| When Joe Biden is incoherent, he's better off. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's a good point. | ||
| Think about the things he said when he was actually making sense. | ||
| Think about that sentence alone, though. | ||
| That right there. | ||
| He's better off when he's incoherent. | ||
| This man is running for president. | ||
| And that's where we're at. | ||
| Oh, dude, I love it. | ||
| It's just like, this is not real life, is it? | ||
| I'd rather hear about the thing. | ||
| The thing. | ||
| Yes, the thing. | ||
| He should have gone with that. | ||
| I know why he said that, though. | ||
| The thing? | ||
| That wasn't him, his brain breaking. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| He says, go. | ||
| He goes, we're created to undergo, you know, the thing. | ||
| I think. | ||
| He was trying to say God? | ||
| He knew to say God, but he realized at the last minute, like, uh-oh. | ||
| Can't say that anymore. | ||
| Not to Democrats. | ||
| Social justice. | ||
| You can't say that to Democrats. | ||
| So, exactly, he was like, you know the thing. | ||
| And now he has the famous, go, you know the thing. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Dude, this is the perfect example of the difference between the two campaigns. | ||
| Trump hopped right on and said, do they have pictures of the shirts? | ||
| They don't. | ||
| They're pretty funny, though. | ||
| They're nice and simple. | ||
| Do they have it? | ||
| They don't have it? | ||
| I'm surprised, yeah. | ||
| Okay, whatever. | ||
| Yeah, they should. | ||
| Well, they're not trying to sell the shirts for the Trump campaign, I guess. | ||
| The shirts, which cost $30, were revealed on the Trump campaign site shop just hours after Biden sparked criticism on Friday. | ||
| They wasted no time. | ||
| I have the Trump straws. | ||
| Do you want to grab those real quick? | ||
| The Trump straws? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Do you see them? | ||
| No, I don't see them. | ||
| So, uh, they're on the... You got them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| So I got... Someone sent me these. | ||
| Because I'm like, I'm not going to buy straws from Trump. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I totally would have. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| But so somebody sent... Ended up sent... Some people... Someone's using these straws. | ||
| Who used them? | ||
| Look at this package. | ||
| Was it you? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Who was it? | ||
| I saw you using a Trump straw. | ||
| Did you use a Trump straw? | ||
| Oh, I think I did. | ||
| I was like, oh, these straws are perfect. | ||
| Look at these. | ||
| They're Trump straws. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| You see that? | ||
| So they banned plastic straws and Trump's campaign. | ||
| These people are brilliant. | ||
| Let me see those. | ||
| They're absolutely brilliant. | ||
| Trump made, what did he make, like a hundred grand? | ||
| He did. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Didn't he also make Sharpies? | ||
| Remember Sharpie Gate? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Sharpie Gate? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I must have missed this. | ||
| So there was a hurricane and he has this diagram that the NOAA, what was it? | ||
| NOAA. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What does that stand for? | ||
| The Northern Oceanic Atlantic or something. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It shows the path of the hurricane. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And there was a Sharpie line that drew a bigger bubble. | ||
| Oh yes, I remember that. | ||
| And everybody lost their minds and they were arguing it was illegal for him to manipulate. | ||
| For like two weeks they were talking about this national oceanic and atmospheric... So Trump sells Sharpies on his website. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| And he made a ton of money. | ||
| And now we have Trump's trust. | ||
| So I mentioned something about like, it's a genius move. | ||
| The funny thing about the Straws argument is that all these jurisdictions are banning them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it doesn't do anything. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| isn't contributing that plastic pollution to the gyres or the rest of the world. | ||
| It's other countries like China and India. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So then the U.S. | ||
| changes things. | ||
| We're already doing... Okay, fine. | ||
| Look, I don't care. | ||
| Well, it's about setting an example, maybe, too. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| Paper straws suck. | ||
| These are reusable straws. | ||
| I never even liked straws. | ||
| Yeah, they're reusable. | ||
| I actually did back a project that is a little tiny pack. | ||
| I mean, I have it upstairs and go grab it, but it's a straw that unfolds. | ||
| It's like... Oh, that's cool. | ||
| Yeah, it's great. | ||
| It's a silicone straw. | ||
| Oh, cool. | ||
| It's got a little cleaning thing in it, too. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| Yeah, if we, yeah, I don't know. | ||
| So you just have it on your keychain. | ||
| That's so cool. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Pull it up. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| I cannot believe this. | ||
| No, I can't believe it. | ||
| I can completely totally. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Joe Biden. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| Such a tone deaf and stupid thing for Biden to say. | ||
| And you know, I feel bad because, you know, he was joking. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He wasn't joking, was he? | ||
| Oh, he apologized for being a wise guy. | ||
| Yeah, that's what he said. | ||
| Yeah, that's what his apology was. | ||
| Isn't that what he said? | ||
| I shouldn't have been a wise guy. | ||
| It's like, oh, so you thought it was funny to joke about that. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| Listen, listen, who wants to wear the shirt anyway? | ||
| Let's let's be honest. | ||
| I don't think Joe Biden was trying to be racist. | ||
| And I think it's really stupid when I agree. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| And that's what I'm saying. | ||
| The bigger problem is that he's just tactless and he's so out of touch. | ||
| He didn't realize that this is not going to like, you know, it is. | ||
| He comes from a bygone era. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And he's trying to be hip and with it. | ||
| So it's like it's like watching the old man come out and like come on the lawn where the kids are skateboarding with it. | ||
| I can do the Lindy Hop! | ||
| That's what I was thinking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm like, watch, we're gonna see him playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater. | |
| He's gonna do a TikTok. | ||
| Oh no! | ||
| Whatever the kids are doing, I don't know. | ||
| I'm sorry, how did that go? | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
| Now, someone go ahead and gif that. | ||
| Remember we saw that little kid doing that? | ||
| Yeah, there was a chick on the street! | ||
| She set the phone in the mailbox and I was like, what is she doing? | ||
| And then she was like, dancing, and I was like, damn, she's making TikTok, that's amazing! | ||
| Oh, you saw someone doing this? | ||
| In the wild, we saw it, yeah. | ||
| So, they're walking down the street, and they're doing this weird, like, walk like an Egyptian thing, and I'm like, and the first thing I thought to myself was, They're doing it. | ||
| I'm old. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| You're old. | ||
| You are. | ||
| You're old, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
34. | |
| You're old now. | ||
| I'm an old man. | ||
| Oh, I'm a man. | ||
| And so I'm like, what is she doing? | ||
| And then I'm like, Lydia, this is weird. | ||
| I was like, she's looking at her phone. | ||
| Lydia, you're young and hip, you know. | ||
| No, Lydia was like, she's doing a TikTok. | ||
| I was like, look, she's looking at her phone. | ||
| She's got it set there in the mailbox. | ||
| No, no, that was after. | ||
| She was walking down the street going like... I didn't see that. | ||
| And I'm like, what is happening? | ||
| Sorry, it seemed like you needed music there. | ||
| I didn't understand. | ||
| And then actually the other day, we were driving down the street, and down this road over here, I saw some young dudes, probably looked like they were teenagers, and they were doing something similar. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like one guy was filming and they were doing this weird thing. | ||
| I'm like, is there a thing going on with TikTok right now where they're doing like the chicken dancer? | ||
| I'm old, man. | ||
| I keep trying to avoid TikTok. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| Listen, everybody. | ||
| I'm 34 and I know not to try to pretend. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I'm not going to do it. | ||
| I'm not going to go. | ||
| I will always act my age. | ||
| Walk up to some 15 year olds and be like, what up, kids? | ||
| I'm cool. | ||
| I used to be super. | ||
| No, sorry, dude. | ||
| I'm a man. | ||
| I'm going to go take care of the bills. | ||
| Those kids would totally think you're cool. | ||
| Look at you skateboarding. | ||
| Yeah, that's what I was thinking. | ||
| I'm like, yeah, but you still shred a skateboard. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Coming to you soon, everyone. | ||
| What I'm saying is I will absolutely skate and we can talk skateboarding, but I'm not going to pretend to understand or try to be cool on TikTok. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Joe Biden thinks he's being funny with these young guys like, oh, I know how to. | ||
| It wasn't even about youth. | ||
| It was about him thinking he understood the black community and that he could speak in a way that would make them laugh. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it didn't. | ||
| It just made progressives and conservative members of the black community angry. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's what was crazy to me. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| Because I thought we were going to immediately see a bunch of lefty, you know, lefty members of the black community being like, no. | ||
| Or I'm sorry, I mean like, oh, Joe Biden's fine. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| Because we saw Simone Sanders. | ||
| I have seen that a few people, like on Twitter, it's been like a war all day long. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where he's losing and his side is losing. | ||
| Most people are pissed about this. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| click the trending hashtag, you know, Joe Biden is a racist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And sure enough, most of the top posts were from black people. | ||
| And so I was looking at some of them, like, cause I'm not going to pretend like I can | ||
| speak for them or know their opinions. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And I was like, I got my opinion. | ||
| If Joe Biden said something, something like that to me about my heritage and stuff, I'd | ||
| be like, excuse me, bro. | ||
| Like, are you gonna actually tell me what you plan to do as a politician? | ||
| Or are you gonna just deride me for, like, what am I supposed to do? | ||
| Yeah, especially when Charlemagne wasn't even talking about that. | ||
| He was like, no, I'm talking about real issues for my community. | ||
| Like, what are you talking about? | ||
| Charlemagne defended him, too, I think. | ||
| He did, which was... | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, it's fine. | |
| It's fine. | ||
| Look, I'm not going to pretend. | ||
| I'm not going to be offended on his behalf. | ||
| Mr. Charlamagne does not seem offended. | ||
| I'm not going to pretend to be offended for somebody else. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| I just think it's an example of Joe Biden being completely inept. | ||
| And then Donald Trump selling these shirts shows their geniuses. | ||
| We got to talk about the Lincoln Project, though. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Yes, we do. | ||
| How do I pull that up? | ||
| out. Can you pull up the tweet that you tweeted out? What's the website? Oh here let me go to your... | ||
| quick. I'm gonna take this uh time to smash that like button everybody and go ahead and | ||
| share it if you think that we're worthy of sharing. | ||
| And even if you don't think we're worthy of sharing, share it anyway to tell people how unworthy we are. | ||
| Yeah, there you go. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| I appreciate you guys. | ||
| Did you find it, Tim? | ||
| I'm trying to, but are they seriously blocking me? | ||
| What is the Lincoln Project anyway? | ||
| I don't know anything about it. | ||
| This is like a conservative anti-Trump thing. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it is one of the most, like, one of the best pro-Trump ads I have ever seen. | ||
| It is so amazing! | ||
| But it's anti-Trump. | ||
| Technically. | ||
| Here it is, here it is. | ||
| But it's pro-Trump. | ||
| Alright, alright, we got this. | ||
| Okay, check this out. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| This is just another example that Real Donald Trump is the worst manager America's ever seen. | ||
| Don, you got conned by your IT guy. | ||
| Okay, so, alright, I'm gonna turn that down. | ||
| This is an ad talking about Brad Parscale, who I think he's the campaign manager for Trump's campaign. | ||
| And Brad is a genius. | ||
| He's probably the one who did the t-shirts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's probably like, get a t-shirt out there. | |
| This video is like Brad is getting rich, but don't tell Donald. | ||
| He's got two condos worth one million each. | ||
| He's his very own yacht. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a bunch of beautiful women, chicks in bikinis, dancing on a boat. | |
| Look at this. | ||
| His very own yacht. | ||
| A gorgeous Ferrari. | ||
| I'm like, dude, I want to hang out with this guy. | ||
| Let me be Brad's friend. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Please. | ||
| And so then it's like, private planes, oh my. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my. | |
| And then what is it? | ||
| Then the Lincoln Project. | ||
| They're like, meet Brad Parscale, Trump's campaign manager. | ||
| It's weird, he kind of looks like my uncle. | ||
| I know it's random, but. | ||
| I watched this. | ||
| He's cool. | ||
| And I'm like. | ||
| My uncle is really cool. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| So I already like this guy a little more. | ||
| So I'm watching this and they say, Trump can't win without him. | ||
| He's worth every, you know, every penny or whatever. | ||
| Beautiful men dancing, Ferraris. | ||
| And I'm like, this is like one of the most epic pro-Trump ads I've ever seen. | ||
| Every young guy in this country is going to be like, I want to work for Donald Trump. | ||
| And so their goal with this is to, their target market is Trump himself. | ||
| They want to upset Trump, you think? | ||
| They want Trump to feel like they're making Brad look bigger than him. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They're trying to make Trump feel inadequate, I guess. | ||
| But to me, that seems like they've been eating their own refuse, like the fake news about Trump and everything. | ||
| They keep seeing these things that they write to rile each other up, and then have this fake version of Trump in their heads, where they think Trump would actually fire a guy he made rich in the first place. | ||
| Now, hold on. | ||
| I saw that and I thought to myself, I mean, there's a possibility Trump could do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| But I don't believe it. | ||
| I don't either. | ||
| Brad Parscale's been promoted, and if their argument is Trump made this guy rich, why would Trump be mad about that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Why wouldn't Trump watch this and be like, yeah. | ||
| Heck yeah, come work for me. | ||
| Like, alright Brad, I'm proud of you. | ||
| Look what I could do. | ||
| Look what you did because of me. | ||
| He'd be like, yeah, I did that. | ||
| Trump probably loves it. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Look what Cernovich said. | ||
| Here's the response. | ||
| If there is one lesson from 2016, it's that American voters will never vote for a rich guy who surrounds himself with beautiful women. | ||
| That is the takeaway here, yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nice job, Lincoln Project. | ||
| That's insane to me. | ||
| Did a good job. | ||
| Okay, we definitely gotta get to Super Chats. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
| Normally we go around nine, but we're just having too much fun. | ||
| Keep in mind, everybody, we have the jam space. | ||
| Show the jam cam. | ||
| Jam cam. | ||
| Jam cam is set up. | ||
| We are going to be playing some music after the Super Chats, so just bear with us if you want to hear me and Tim jam out some music. | ||
| Yeah, Adam's going to play a song. | ||
| We're still getting the space set up. | ||
| We just did some redesigning real quick. | ||
| We'll have an official jam spot. | ||
| Yeah, it's gonna be great, so I got the set, and then we'll actually have, like, friends come and jam, but Adam will play a song, I'll play a song, and that's gonna be after we're, like, kind of wrapped up. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| But, uh, so make sure you stick around. | ||
| And if you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe, share the podcast if you like it, and we are going to, uh... Blaze through some superchats. | ||
| Read some superchats for you guys. | ||
| If you haven't already, you can hop in, but I will say, it's very likely that we'll get to a point where we just can't read all of them. | ||
| All right, keep going. | ||
| GrimSoul says, so Back to the Future is censored. | ||
| Adam, they censored the scene where Marty finds the almanac and opens it to find Biff's nudie mag. | ||
| It's trivial, but... Actually, I read about this. | ||
| There's more. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| He says, trivial, but scary that they're censoring it. | ||
| Keep up the great work breaking through the media. | ||
| If you get banned from YouTube, you will have my support. | ||
| Well, thank you for that, for one. | ||
| But I did read about this. | ||
| I guess Netflix got the wrong version. | ||
| So different countries have different Netflix. | ||
| And I guess it was for a different country. | ||
| It wasn't for the American public, which would have been the original Back to the Future 2. | ||
| And I guess as of today, they've changed it to the original version. | ||
| So it should be back to normal. | ||
| They fixed it. | ||
| So Netflix got the wrong copy, essentially. | ||
| I haven't seen it. | ||
| I can't confirm it, but I was reading about this earlier. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| Christian says, Trump deems churches essential. | ||
| You think this 1A stand is going to ultimately hurt the Dems? | ||
| I'm sure it will help a little bit, especially with the evangelical and religious communities. | ||
| True. | ||
| Connor, thanks for joining. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I.B. | ||
| Rippenham says, Gavin Newsom has banned fart correspondence in California, but Trump defended our right to send as many fart chats as possible. | ||
| Thank God for Trump. | ||
| Thank goodness. | ||
| Kyle Buchanan says, since professors were getting paid to send research back to China, do you think some of these governors could be in China's pockets as well? | ||
| I don't know if I would go that far, but I would say I wouldn't be surprised if we found out high-ranking people were somehow on the take. | ||
| Michael, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Annoyed Moderate says, Rogan and Pac-Man were asking who gets to make the rules to censorship on big tech and how it is difficult to decide. | ||
| It's actually very simple. | ||
| It's called the First Amendment. | ||
| So frustrating to watch. | ||
| Yeah, the challenge is they are private businesses, and they've become monopolized to the point where they're essentially utilities. | ||
| And if our discourse is dominated by these platforms that have monopolized the space, then there's a real argument for us needing these protections. | ||
| But I admit, there are serious implications that are challenging. | ||
| It's actually the First Amendment that protects them from having to host our speech. | ||
| The argument is they're a private company, and they have a First Amendment right to freely speak, and you can't compel someone to say something. | ||
| SDFU says Fauci is the scientific equivalent of a cuckoo bird. | ||
| Peter Coyle says, your marketing campaign works on me, a YouTuber. | ||
| A YouTuber I like goes live at 7 also, but because I can watch the full video after I go here. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Archerable says, ever heard of the town of Pecatonica, Illinois? | ||
| It's between Rockford and Freeport. | ||
| I grew up there. | ||
| Nice small town. | ||
| I haven't. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| I've been to Rockford. | ||
| I think I've been to Rockford once. | ||
| People like skating there. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| David says, hey Adam, what do you think about raising kids vegan? | ||
| I mean, it's all about giving them the nutrients they need. | ||
| So I have friends that were raised vegan that had never eaten meat or dairy their whole life. | ||
| And I thought they were crazy because I wasn't vegan at the time. | ||
| This is when I was in high school, years and years ago. | ||
| And they're healthy human beings. | ||
| They were healthy. | ||
| They were the same size as me. | ||
| They did sports just the same. | ||
| I know that there's people out there that don't know how to be vegan that claim, oh man, being vegan made me sick and they only ate bananas. | ||
| And that's all they ate was just bananas. | ||
| And it's like, what are you doing? | ||
| So if you do it right, if you do it correctly, there's nothing wrong with it. | ||
| Did somebody superchat us for the UFO? | ||
| Is that what happened? | ||
| I see a lot of demands for the UFO. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Oh, I don't know. | ||
| Let me see. | ||
| Well, I'll leave that to you, Adam. | ||
| If you see it pop up. | ||
| But I'll read some more superchats. | ||
| OK. | ||
| David says, it's complicated. | ||
| Mug. | ||
| I mean, we could definitely do that. | ||
| That'd be great. | ||
| Morning coffee. | ||
| Zachary says, sometime between May 9th and today, Facebook must have lifted the Voldemort restriction. | ||
| Perhaps this coincides with the Rogan Wars. | ||
| Look into it. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I will try posting. | ||
| We're not going to risk it, though. | ||
| Not on here. | ||

Nope. | |
| Uh, let's see. | ||
| Heavy Arm Sky says, I mean, I'm down. | ||
| Still waiting on the soy on soy Jesus on the soy Jesus riding a skateboard with a kitten and puppy shirt | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Make it soon make it a sewn emblem on a beanie and I'll buy that too. I mean, I'm down | ||
| I like that Cordy says I seem to miss every other stream and always get mad at myself for missing it | ||
| Too caught up in video games. | ||
| That's okay though. | ||
| Aaron says, so Timcast IRL will have exclusive access to Lydia and Emily's Only fans? | ||
| Definitely not. | ||
| Nope, never happened. | ||
| But Emily doesn't have anything to do with this. | ||
| She's doing Scanner. | ||
| Six million dollars. | ||
| I haven't even seen her in months because they've been doing field reporting. | ||
| But they're gonna own it for sure. | ||
| Wolvespain says, hey Tim, have y'all considered selling custom decks? | ||
| I would love to buy a Lydia themed board or a beanie board. | ||
| Hey, that's smart. | ||
| Are you going to drop it? | ||
| What? | ||
| Whatever you're about to say. | ||
| The same conversations I'm having with the beanies, I might be able to get them to do boards. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Interesting. | ||
| I'm going to ask them, because they told me, is there anything you think? | ||
| And I'm like, that would streamline production for us very, very easy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That'd be so cool. | |
| It'd be a weird thing. | ||
| We'll figure it out. | ||
| Could you imagine if you go to one of our videos, and then below it, YouTube actually shows beanies, skateboards, and the shirts, and you can click it and just get it? | ||
| Yeah, that'd be cool. | ||
| I think for a lot of people the boards would be like art pieces because they're awesome to hang up. | ||
| Yeah, true. | ||
| I mean, look at that shirt. | ||
| Can we get a cut to Lydia's shirt? | ||
| Look at this shirt! | ||
| Harumph I say! | ||
| That shirt is great. | ||
| Do you want your very own Harumph I Say shirt? | ||
| Of course you do! | ||

Click the link in the description down below in the merch section. | |
| It's there! | ||
| Actually, I think we can set it up so that it actually appears below the stream next time. | ||
|

Oh, cool. | |
| Oh, the shirt itself? | ||
| Yeah, so you can actually see it. | ||
| Oh, perfect. | ||
| We've got a super chat for a UFO. | ||
| Just spin the UFO. | ||
| All right, you do that. | ||
| We'll read. | ||
| Graphon Tyrell says, now we got really loud background noise, I said some time back that H3H3 vs. Keemstar showdown was a glorious shipwreck. | ||
| Now I regret saying that. | ||
| In fact, I'd rather horrified at the implications and what it means for YouTube as a whole. | ||
| I don't really know what's going on between them. | ||
| I know that Keemstar was trending nationwide in the U.S. | ||
| a couple days ago. | ||
| That was weird. | ||
| I was like, Keem, why is it trending? | ||
| I.B. | ||
| Rivetum says, Fart site is 2020. | ||
| You know it. | ||
| Ben Lowry, if what the economists are saying about NY and Californians being displaced, how long do you think it'll be before our electoral college swings one way? | ||
|
unidentified
|
2024? | |
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| Well, I don't know. | ||
| When's the next census? | ||
| It's every 10 years, right? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Let me look it up. | ||
| That's so weird. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| So weird. | ||
| I do know that the 17-year cicadas are coming soon. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah, we'll do a segment on it. | ||
| It's pretty cool. | ||
| Cicada apocalypse? | ||

| Also go on EFAP. | ||
| You massive. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| I like the chickens part a whole lot. | ||
| I would like to have some chickens. | ||
| We had some chickens in Miami. | ||
| It was awesome. | ||
| Wake up in the morning, walk out, grab a couple eggs, walk in, crack them up, eat them. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| They were pretty cool. | ||
| Yeah, and then the neighbors' cats and dogs started killing them. | ||
| I think it was the dogs. | ||
| The stray dogs in the neighborhood. | ||
| And we caught one of the dogs, because we didn't know what it was at first, and we put up a trap. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| I don't remember that. | ||
| Actually, I don't know if you... I think you were there. | ||
| Maybe you left. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We didn't know what it was. | ||
| Yeah, I was gone. | ||
| I went to Sweden for a while. | ||
| Something was going after the chickens. | ||
| So I was like, coyote, maybe, or something. | ||
| The next door neighbor's dog was sneaking in. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And then I come outside, and in the cage, he was sitting there, like, busted. | ||
| And so he was snarling at me, and then I talked him down, and then opened him, and he ran off, never came back. | ||
| Yeah, he learned his lesson. | ||
| Stop messing with my chickens. | ||
|

Bad dog. | |
| Alright, where we at? | ||
| Joey Giggles says, so does the gym owners past in New Jersey matter to the current situation? | ||
| I try to get these people to talk without emotion and it's not working. | ||
| It's a smear. | ||
| They're targeting their past to smear them. | ||
| John Smith says, hey Tim, have you seen the Dankula vs Vosh debate? | ||
| Vosh is the most obnoxious sophist I've ever seen. | ||
| Also, any thoughts on the H3H3 Keemstar drama? | ||
| I have not seen the Dankula thing. | ||
| Or the H3H3 thing. | ||
| I haven't seen either. | ||
| Columbus says, beanie patrol into house. | ||
| You know it. | ||
| From Connor, US policy and culture bleeds into the rest of the West. | ||
| If you guys open up, hopefully it will inspire other world leaders. | ||
| Maybe that's why, you know, Fauci waited. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| A Disney movie about government-manufactured hysteria. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Never seen it. | ||

|
Yes. | |
| Correct. | ||
| Technolady. | ||
| Technolidia. | ||
| That's me. | ||
| Technolidia. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Now it's gonna be a panic, because, like, what do you do? | ||
| Fauci came out. | ||
| It's like, what are you gonna say? | ||
| lady, Techno Lydia. | ||
| Eric asks, will the MSM accuse Fauci of Russian collusion? | ||
| Nope, now it's going to be a panic, because what do you do? | ||
| Fauci came out. | ||
| It's like, what are you going to say? | ||
| They don't have any more arguments. | ||
| The Grizzly, well, here's a response. | ||
| The grizzly says the left won't listen to Fauci. | ||
| I think you're naive to believe so. | ||
| Given how the left has been largely ignoring anything that does not adhere to their beliefs, I don't think they're going to stop until they are forced. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the weirdest thing. | ||
| You know, the craziest thing to me was when we went to the gym and there was this, you know, it's like middle-aged woman wearing a Trump hat and she was talking about all this stuff and I was like, she surprisingly knew a lot about what was going on. | ||
| Yeah, she really paid attention. | ||
| But she did think some things that were clearly like... Ridiculous. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Bill Gates over the top stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's getting to be commonplace. | ||
| This is what I've said about the pitfalls of the right and the pitfalls of the left. | ||
| The left won't read the news, so they don't know anything. | ||
| And the right reads too much, and they start falling into these pit traps where it's like fake news. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Mavros says, got my booster box of Magic in the Mail. | ||
| Really happy about white, white blue bird support and Acoria. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Got a full art in our set. | ||
| Nice! | ||
| Ooh, very nice. | ||
| We just cracked open some box, some boxes of Acoria. | ||
| Yeah, that's fun. | ||

| for the company They are already receiving money from the government WTF is | ||
| this world? | ||
| I thought that's not possible because don't they have to like coordinate with the business that they were working? | ||
| Maybe they're overloaded It's okay. It's chaos, but uh | ||
| The AP reported that like hundreds of millions went out in fraudulent claims Wow | ||

| Rabid Kitten says, you must check out Ping Trip's new video with Tim and Joe Rogan. | ||
| It's hilarious, masterfully edited. | ||
| Is that the one where my videos get millions of views? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I retweeted it just before the show. | |
| We were dying laughing. | ||
| It's so funny. | ||
| The stream is done. | ||

Rabid Kitten said, oh, we just read that one. | |
| Clink Clank says, Tim, sell us some food and when YouTube tries to ban you, claim that y'all are an essential business and cannot be shut down. | ||
| I like this. | ||
| This is good. | ||
| Graf Ontario says, petulant child accuses Trump of being a petulant child, threatens Ford while still not letting go of the barber. | ||
| Good luck enforcing the shutdown of churches now, Karen. | ||
| Karen! | ||
| So we were having an earlier debate over what a group of Karens is called. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| I like, someone called them a privilege of Karens. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| And so I'm like, a group of Karens is called a privilege. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| A privilege. | ||
| But I guess there was like a complaint, you said? | ||
| Yeah, a complaint of Karens. | ||
| I called it the view, initially. | ||
| The view. | ||
| Just a bunch of Karens sitting around in a circle. | ||
| That's pretty good. | ||
| A complaint. | ||
| And now there's the real view. | ||
| Did you hear about that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is that? | |
| It's the right view. | ||
| Oh, the right wing view. | ||
| Oh, the right side. | ||
| Yeah, they came up and they're a bunch of like, MAGA women that are like, we gotta set these, the view is supposed to represent all women and they totally don't. | ||
| So we're here to set them straight. | ||
| It's pretty funny. | ||
| Didn't Jon Stewart apologize? | ||
| Cause like, I could be wrong about this. | ||
| He attacked Tucker Carlson over Crossfire. | ||
| What's Crossfire? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Was that his show? | |
| It was a show where they had a liberal and a conservative debate. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| And then apparently Jon Stewart said it was like WWE American Gladiators or something and attacked it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then, I could be wrong about this, but like, I could have sworn I heard a story where he apologized for it and said he was wrong, actually, because now you only have ridiculous partisan media where no one talks to each other. | ||
| How amazing would it be if you actually had, oh wait, no, I'm sorry, I'm walking this back. | ||
| There is a show called Rising on Hill TV with Crystal Ball and Sagar and Jetty, and he's a conservative and she's a progressive, and they're honest and fair, and it's an amazing show. | ||
| Sounds really good. | ||
| That's why it's doing so well and everyone loves it. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| Because if you're a progressive, the craziest thing was to hear the socialists praising Sagar and Jetty, who's conservative, because they're like, he's honest about the populist issues and what the left wants and everything, he just disagrees. | ||
| That's respectable. | ||
| Yep, I dig that. | ||
| But then you turn on The View, and you get weird nonsense! | ||
| I gotta be honest, I've never seen The View. | ||
| Thank god, I haven't either. | ||
| And I won't see The View, ever. | ||
| Let's read some more superchats. | ||

| Also, book recommendations for you during this time are anything Brandon Sanderson. | ||
| Really dope author. | ||
| Lydia is queen of stoicism. | ||
| Snyder Cut 2021. | ||
| BVS Ultimate Edition. | ||
| I've read all his stuff. | ||

| I've read everything he's written. | ||
| I'm waiting for... he's writing a series right now. | ||
| It's really really good. | ||
| Just waiting for those to come out. | ||
| And what about Lydia? | ||
| You're right. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I'm probably the furthest right of anybody on this podcast because I am pro-life. | ||
| Whoa whoa whoa. | ||
| Probably? | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| I'm pro-life. | ||

| I like Thomas Massey and Dan Crenshaw and stuff. | ||
| Rand Paul just gets my, you know, my figurative vote because he's principled. | ||
| It's like, to see somebody, it's like, I may disagree with some of the things he brings up, but man, you can tell the guy's being honest about why he believes it and what he's fighting for. | ||
| Honesty in politics? | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, it's really so rare. | ||
| It was funny, I remember the Rand Paul stuff, and I remember, like, everyone being like, Rand Paul's the best, and I, like, watched a segment from him where he was very pro-life and very religious, and I'm like, I do not agree with any of this. | ||
| But I was like, I actually agree, like, the libertarian stance, the government shouldn't do these things. | ||
| I'm like, what can I say, man? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The dude's being honest. | ||
| We can disagree. | ||
| We have a conversation about it. | ||
| I don't think I'm the smartest person in the world. | ||
| I think it's the people who demand they be the smartest people in the world. | ||
| It's the weird, it's like, I think that's it. | ||
| I think that's a lot of it. | ||
| People who think they're smarter than everyone else. | ||
| People who think they can decide what should be said. | ||
| It's that saying, you know, stupid people are so sure of themselves, but smart people are so full of doubt. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then there's the other thing. | ||
| The only thing I know is I know nothing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like when you actually explore the world and research and read, you realize how little you truly know. | ||
| I don't know anything. | ||
| And it makes you more reserved where you're like, you know, I could be wrong. | ||
| It's humbling. | ||
| Yeah, true. | ||
| JP says, any possible way you can list the sources of the stories in the description as you talk about them so we can read along? | ||
| There was an issue about that, we talked about this before, that YouTube restricts content if it links off of the platform. | ||
| They've argued it's not true. | ||
| I think YouTube specifically said they won't do that, but I don't know if I believe them. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because Facebook has as well. | ||
| The idea is, anything that promotes leaving their sites... They don't like. | ||
| Yeah, and so there have been people who have done videos where they're like, hey, I'm gonna be doing a live stream later over at Twitch, check me out, and then YouTube strikes them down. | ||
| So what I do is I have the URL visible, but not clickable, so you can still see it. | ||
| It's like a compromise, I guess. | ||
| Chris Egleton says, Hey, you used my t-shirt idea. | ||
| Looks great. | ||
| It does look great. | ||
| Sebastian Garcia says, Shut up and take my money. | ||
| We already did. | ||
| Real Dan says, Happy World Goth Day, y'all. | ||
| Play some IMX during the jam session. | ||
| I mean, I actually can play Spit It Out by IMX. | ||
| I don't think we can play covers. | ||
| We'll have to look into it. | ||
| I think you actually can. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Actually, someone was, uh, this has been a debate for almost a month now. | ||
| Um, and someone actually hit me up today saying there's all these people that do live streams playing covers on YouTube. | ||
| So it's happening. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, I don't know if they're, you know, have, has are as popular as what we've now become. | ||
| So like, I don't want to be, we just got our blue check Mark. | ||
| I don't know if it's going to be gray check Mark. | ||
| Oh, is it, is it gray? | ||
| Gray check Mark. | ||
| I just haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure we can. | ||
| We should check, because I wouldn't mind playing some covers. | ||
| I've got a few covers. | ||
| I've got to play Country Roads for everybody. | ||
| Everybody wants to hear me play it. | ||
| I learned the song. | ||
| I can play it. | ||
| One of my favorite covers to play is Spitted Out by I.M.X. | ||
| He's got really dirty song names. | ||
| Yeah, I was going to say. | ||
| Columbus says, beating patrol in the house. | ||
| You know it. | ||

| Zach Shad says, Tim, you saved my life about seven months ago. | ||
| Sorry I can't send more. | ||
| I'll PM Adam my phone number if you want to know the whole story. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Or just send me the story. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, yeah, if it's a long story. | ||
| This is my handle. | ||
| You can hit me up on Twitter or Instagram. | ||
| At Adam Krigler. | ||
| Or YouTube. | ||
| But Twitter's definitely the easiest place to get at me. | ||
| At Adam Krigler. | ||
| C-R-I-G-L-E-R. | ||
| Because some people might just be listening in the background. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Nick says, what are your thoughts on the latest surveillance acts that passed through the Senate allowing the FBI to access anyone's browser history without a warrant? | ||
| Is there a way to reclaim our 4A rights? | ||
| So, my understanding is that bill was already passed, and the Democrats wanted to remove, revoke that right, and it was mostly Democrats voting to remove it, with some Republicans agreeing, and then mostly Republicans saying, keep the power. | ||
| Then there was another, a FISA expansion bill, Where it was a bipartisan effort to support the violation of our Fourth Amendment rights. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| David says, move to Syracuse, NY. | ||
| Ninja'd Amazon from NYC. | ||
| Drone capital of the world. | ||
| Skate park by lake and vegan friendly. | ||
| Joints and me Dave show you the town. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| The Grizzly says, been shooting since I was eight. | ||
| Jesus, what makes these idiots think they can make laws on guns? | ||
| It's the weirdest thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| John Smith says, no wonder Egypt can't take Israel. | ||
| That's in reference to the poor muzzle control. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, and trigger discipline. | ||

|
I don't know. | |
| I mean, there's 14 of them. | ||
| Honestly, probably the last one. | ||
| Because I remember reading... I mean, I've read these books. | ||
| I got the first book when I was 21. | ||
| So 15 years ago, I started reading this book series. | ||
| I mean, it's been a long time. | ||
| And the end, I knew Robert Jordan wrote himself. | ||
| So Brandon Sanderson was given the end. | ||
| He actually spent the last year of Robert Jordan's life working with Robert Jordan to help him, you know, get ready to write the rest of the story. | ||
| But Robert Jordan wrote the end by himself. | ||
| So he already had it written. | ||
| So when I read the last book, I could tell the nuances in Robert Jordan's writing versus Brandon Sanderson's writing. | ||
| And it was really exciting to read Robert Jordan's words again. | ||
| And something about the end, it just, it was such an amazing series. | ||
| And you know, it was incredible. | ||
| So the end scene, everything about that last book was awesome. | ||
| And yeah, it makes me want to reread the series just thinking about it. | ||

The next part. | |
| Lady of Whiterun, what would be your preferred superpower? | ||
| Ooh. | ||
| Superpower? | ||
| Good one. | ||
| I think I would like to be able to read people's minds. | ||
| Ooh, interesting. | ||
| Scary. | ||
| I would understand people better. | ||
| As we're talking about surveillance. | ||
| I would only use it for good. | ||
| I would like surveillance. | ||
| You wouldn't be allowed to work for the government. | ||
| As they all say. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| This one's real easy. | ||
| Tim, why so fixated on Eastern Time? | ||
| It's because more than half of the population of the U.S. | ||
| lives on the East Coast, or on Eastern Time. | ||
| And so in terms of effective business operations, You operate on Eastern Time. | ||
| This is true for even YouTubers in Los Angeles. | ||
| Some of them wake up at like 4 a.m. | ||
| so they can wake up in sync with Eastern because that's the market. | ||
| That's what I assume. | ||
| Someone asked me on Twitter and I was like, I think it's just because he's in tune with the news. | ||
| Like he wakes up and he's already tackling things that are happening. | ||
| You also have all these journalists writing stories that are on East Coast Time. | ||
| You're with it as it's breaking. | ||
| So I'd have to wake up at 4 a.m. | ||
| if I was in L.A. | ||
| We did that. | ||
| It was horrible. | ||
| Oh yeah, you guys were in LA for a couple days. | ||
| Caboose says, Hey Tim, recite the four rules of firearm safety. | ||
| I don't know them. | ||
| Do you? | ||
| Does anybody? | ||

| I do not. | ||
| Someone can super chat. | ||
| I may have forgotten them. | ||
| Louis Vasquez says, Listen to your talks during workout every day. | ||
| Getting fit with Tim. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Steven Suarez says, Is Lydia also a vegan or does she appreciate a good steak? | ||
| I eat a lot of steak. | ||
| I lost a bunch of weight and I did it by being low carb. | ||
| And that involves a lot of meat and a lot of cheese. | ||
| So I was never vegan. | ||
| Toby, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Peter George says, Navy boot camp. | ||
| Pistol qualls. | ||
| I was astonished to see bullet holes and marks on the floor, walls, ceiling. | ||
| Some people should not handle guns. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| The One says, it seems the Democrats are intentionally destroying their chances this year to put blame on far-left politics, so come next election season, they can silence them and return to a more moderate stand. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I think they're gonna get wiped out, though, and the progressives will take over. | ||
| Patrick says, Philly Democrats have been caught cheating in elections. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I've had it with these mother-loving snakes on this mother-loving plane. | ||
| Trump 2020. | ||
| I did a video about it for my main channel. | ||
| They got caught cheating. | ||
| And also in North Jersey, people's mail-in ballots disappeared. | ||
| And then apparently voter rolls claimed that they voted and they were like, we didn't get to vote. | ||
| Our ballots never came. | ||
| And one of their relatives was in Florida for several weeks. | ||
| So who voted in their name? | ||
| Yup. | ||
| And Governor Murphy refused to answer a question about it. | ||
| Two days later said, we're doing vote by mail. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| That's insane. | ||

| Can't wait to get back to it. | ||
| Come visit us in Massachusetts, y'all. | ||
| Free tempeh tacos on me. | ||
| I went to Austin to visit a friend of mine in Texas and we went to this bar and it was it was great and you know I was having a good time he's like oh you want to go get some tacos I'm like I don't know if they'll have anything for me he's like bro just come and I'm like all right so we walked back and there's like three different taco trucks he's like yeah which one do you want I'm like what do you mean which one like which one can I have and he's like they're all vegan I'm like yes they were so good Simba Bam Bam says, Hey Tim, with you speaking about pew pew machines, would you ever accept a sponsorship from a company that manufactures, distributes, sells firearms? | ||
| Maybe in time because I, you know, one of the problems I have with like the sales people who want to, you know, have me do ads is like, I have to know it, use it and really believe in it. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| You're never going to see me doing it. | ||
| Like I got a video game company reached out to me and offered me an insane amount of money. | ||
| And then I was like, what do you think Adam? | ||
| And you were like, this game is bad. | ||
| And I was like, we're not doing it. | ||
| Yeah, I was like, I looked at the game. | ||
| Don't say it though, don't say the name. | ||
| I'm not gonna say the name, but I know mobile games, and it was not a good, it wasn't, it was just, it wanted your money, it wanted you to be hooked for a little bit to get some money out of you, and that's, there's a lot of those games. | ||
| They're out there, and that's, I can't stand those games. | ||
| I've had casino games, and I'm like, no. | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| No, I have to really like it. | ||
| And, you know, the money people don't like that because they want me to have everything. | ||
| Respect. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Virik says, hey guys, what's your take on the Epoch Times? | ||
| Do you feel they're trustworthy? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| To an extent, yes, but they're Falun Gong, I believe, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What does that mean? | ||
| They're very, very anti-China. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| And so what you need to understand about them is, for the most part, their stories seem to be pretty good. | ||
| News Guard seems to hate them. | ||
| And they're very biased against China. | ||
| CCP seems to hate them. | ||
| Oh, definitely. | ||
| So make of that what you will. | ||
| I've been seeing ads for them on our page. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| I think so, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're okay. | |
| NewsGuard gives them a bad rating. | ||
| I've used them several times. | ||
| I think as long as you know their bias, you know what you're getting. | ||
| In my experience, they'll likely give you a more positive view of Trump because Trump is anti-China. | ||
| But it doesn't mean that they're writing anything that's fake or wrong or anything like that. | ||
| It's just the same as Vox. | ||
| You know Vox's bias, you know what to look for. | ||
| Betafacetchipa says, Government, Cops, Soldiers, FBI, CIA, Auto Rifles, Snipers, RPG, Drones, Armored Trucks, Tanks, Citizens, Pistols, and Semi-Rifles if lucky. | ||

| That sucks. | ||
| Helen Wagner says, Tim, I think we need to implement a mandatory firearm safety ethics and etiquette course for all young Americans. | ||
| If we have the right to bear arms, we should have the right to proper public education of their use and how to keep them. | ||

|
Yeah. | |

| It's been two weeks since I've had any half-decent bread. | ||

| Trent says, what do you all think is the endgame for the Deep State, aka elite, aka establishment? | ||
| There seems to be a populist movement that I assume will grow. | ||
| What if any government moves will take place to end antitrust movement? | ||
| I don't know what the endgame is. | ||
| I think they just want to maintain their power. | ||
| And I think it's mostly about people who think they're smarter than everybody else. | ||
| That's about it. | ||
| The joke I made on Rogan that I often make is that the Galactic Federation won't allow us to join because we're ruled by, you know, it's a multi-governmental planet. | ||

| And Joe was like, I don't think there's a Galactic Federation. | ||
| I know! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know! | |
| I'm just joking! | ||
| I think the end comes from people, right now actually, it's people seeing and being unhappy with what's going on and then becoming political and wanting to actually have something change. | ||
| And I think there's a hint of that right now. | ||
| Bread and circuses, man. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| Bread and circuses. | ||
| I don't know what you mean. | ||
| So to distract the public from politics so they don't interfere, you give them bread and you send them to the circus. | ||
| That was Cicero. | ||
| So now that people are getting more active in politics because of social media, it's breaking apart. | ||
|

Yeah. | |

| There are videos of them attacking Yemen with the same vehicles, but with mounted turrets on them. | ||

| These things happen. | ||

| International conflict foreign policy is so ridiculously complicated. | ||
| I know it's funny that people always say it's complicated when I talk about it, but it's like, dude, if I tried to pretend like I could tell you what the right moves are more than half the time, it's lying. | ||
| These people are lying. | ||
| When these people make videos or commentary and they're like, this is what they really should do, it's like, dude, you have no idea all the intricate pieces that are connected to each other in this. | ||
| I think America tends to do stupid things, though. | ||
| So, what is this? | ||
| Aaron H says, Jack was on Joe Rogan Experience twice, but Joe never asked him about the 900-pound gorilla in the room. | ||
| Shady hiding of content. | ||
| Neither did you. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| I don't know if that's a reference to, but if it's a reference to banning people, I thought that was the gist of the conversation. | ||
| Shadowbanning? | ||

| Nazox says, Tim, do you believe that with stimulus money being sent out it will cause an economic resurgence leading to more people becoming investors? | ||
| UBI equals VAT on luxury, cannabis, psychedelics, tech services. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I think that implies there's going to be excess wealth and disposable income. | ||
| But what people need to understand about UBI or any kind of direct payments to people is that the value of money is rooted in a bunch of different things. | ||
| One of those is rooted partly in the lowest cost of human labor. | ||
| Hmm, so if you if you have to pay one dollar for every apple | ||
| That's you know plucked from a tree that means you have to sell the apple apple for more than one dollar | ||
| If you raise the cost of pulling the apple from a tree to two dollars now the apples must cost more than two dollars | ||
| so the lowest level of You know of skill the you know day laborer who picks apples | ||
| if you have a really high minimum wage Then apples all go up in price and apple pies are more | ||
| expensive than apple cake anything uses apples everyone who eats apples | ||
| It just makes everything go up immediately. | ||
| Yeah, and that's just apples. | ||
| People don't realize the economy isn't necessarily so much about the money. | ||
| Although it does play a huge role, it's how much do we value the individuals, and then how does that ripple up through how, you know, money works, so... Eh, it's a complicated question, I suppose. | ||

| Zachariah says, the Second Amendment wording came from Virginian law stating that the equipment that each household was supposed to own, i.e. | ||
| how much shot, how much powder, Crowder did a special last 4th of July on it, check it out. | ||

| Yes, I just watched The Patriot. | ||
| It was awesome. | ||
| Seen it many times. | ||
| I gotta watch that movie. | ||
| Bobcat says, as far as these data harvester, for less than the cost of a decent date in Philly, I could make them think LIDS is in six different parts of the city at once. | ||
| They don't sanity check their data. | ||

| Cameras they use for sending you tickets in the mail for missing tolls and speeding with a nice picture of the driver car and plate called the pay-by-plate system. | ||

| Chad T says, I'm okay with some of the trafficking, but, uh, the tracking, but, not the trafficking, some of the tracking, but only if I get a choice in it. | ||
| Also, I think there should be oversight that is ran by Tim Poole and Joe Rogan. | ||
| I wouldn't take the job. | ||
| What? | ||
| Is that real? | ||
| Roman Dev says, just a reminder for everyone that the Donald.win was made after Kami Reddit | ||
| kicked, effectively banned us from their website. | ||
| We now have more monthly visitors than Huffington Post. | ||
| What? | ||
| Is that real? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| Yeah, so Reddit quarantined, shut down, manipulated the algorithm so that the Donald subreddit | ||
| wasn't getting any, like, attraction. | ||
| It's hard to find. | ||
| So they started their own site? | ||
| They made their own Reddit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow! | |
| It's like, it's basically a clone of Reddit called, it's the donald.win, that's the URL. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| And you'll see, it's like, they do their thing. | ||
| Good for them. | ||
| Now they have their own version. | ||
| Well, that's Reddit's fault. | ||
| Reddit's going down. | ||
| Ashley says, in Australia, they have cameras at key spots that read your number plate, act as a red light camera and speed cameras. | ||
| You then get a fine in the post, mainly in South Australia. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| We have that here for the most part. | ||
| Yeah, similar. | ||
| But actually, in Arizona, where I was living, they have them everywhere. | ||
| And they had such a problem with so many people not caring and just blowing the lights and not showing up that it was costing them more money to go after the people than them making money from the fines that they took all the cameras down. | ||
| That's pretty funny. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |

| Lateman says, if you ever feel like adding percussion to your musical repertoire, consider a bodhran. | ||
| It's an Irish drum that doesn't take up as much space as a standard drum kit. | ||
| In terms of playing it, I consider it similar to a guitar. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| But it's actually a physical drum, not an electric drum? | ||
| I don't know, I guess. | ||
| What is the name of it? | ||

| Yeah, exhibitionist. | ||

| What that no matter what happens they're opposed to whatever Trump does or yeah maybe that's that's | ||
| just basically all I can you know yeah. Canned TM. | ||
| What is the right time to use Second Amendment? | ||
| It's hard to wrap my mind around. | ||
| It was written for standing against tyranny. | ||
| We are under it and have experienced it. | ||
| It's not just for home invasions. | ||
| When is the time? | ||
| I honestly don't know. | ||
| I really don't. | ||
| But I'm willing to bet that now that, you know, Fauci's like, like, let, you know, open things up. | ||
| We are seeing every state slowly reopen. | ||
| There's gonna be a bunch of lawsuits. | ||
| And I think we're gonna see a lot of people win. | ||

| Mark Martinez says, GOP flip House seats in Wisconsin and CA, and state-local elections in PA and VA. | ||
| Pattern or coincidence? | ||
| Pattern, pattern, pattern. | ||
| FiveThirtyEight said it was a sign of a blue wave if the Democrats won, the Republicans won, so by that logic, red wave. | ||
| What they specifically said was that if a party overperforms, it's a sign of a coming blue wave. | ||
| So if the Democrats do well, the blue wave is coming. | ||
| Well, the Republicans overperformed. | ||
| Therefore. | ||
| If their logic is that overperformance equals wave, then red wave is coming. | ||
| But what did they write the next, you know, two days or a week later? | ||
| Blue wave's coming. | ||
| Is a blue wave coming? | ||
| Yeah, ooh, silly question. | ||
| It's like, what are you doing? | ||

| How do you feel about it? | ||
| We gotta open up. | ||
| Well, I defer to Fauci. | ||
| He's the expert, and he says, you know, far be it for me to tell anybody, but if Dr. Fauci says we need to reopen, we're gonna have to do it. | ||
| Yeah, I think we are gonna have to do it. | ||

| Crafty Work says, hey Tim Pool, what do you think about having term limits on both the | ||
| House and the Senate? | ||
| And instead, every citizen has to serve like jury duty. | ||
| Might help with corruption. | ||
| I'm not entirely convinced. | ||
| Demarchy sounds interesting. | ||
| That's where it's randomly selected. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's kind of like jury duty. | ||
| One day you're like, Oh, I got Congress duty. | ||
| And it's, and it's not term limits. | ||
| It's just randomized. | ||
| So you're like, you almost never serve a second term. | ||
| There's something about that I like. | ||
| Sounds cool. | ||
| If done, implemented correctly. | ||

| Can you say, I told you so, Lady Deavish. | ||

| Did I say it right? | ||
| Well, you said it, certainly. | ||
| certainly. Hey, you says, do you think this election offers a chance to any third party | ||
| candidates given the circumstances? If so, who and would you consider voting for them? | ||
| I don't know. Yes, but for the left, because the progressives have like broken away from | ||
| the Democrats, it's very likely we'll see a major left. | ||
| There's another reason why I think Biden can't win. They're discounting the displeasure | ||
| from progressives. And a lot of a lot of these progressives want Trump to win so they | ||
| can say, I told you so. Some of them might even vote for Trump. A lot of them might just | ||
| go out and vote for Green party. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| Rick Hayes says the spark of the Revolutionary War was the Battle of Lexington and Concord where the British marched to take the colonists' guns and ammo. | ||

| Oh, but she wished that they had tried. | ||
| Been gone three summers. | ||
| Made all the difference in the world. | ||
| Least ten years older in her mind. | ||
| But that's alright. | ||
| Moved to California. | ||

| She always ends up missing home. | ||

| Missing home So many before her, she's just | ||
| Just another face in the crowd Well it's becoming clearer to her, but she's not ready right now. | ||

| Impatience picked up steam. | ||
| Too many people told her you have to stay and take what's in your reach. | ||
| I won't just stand here watching all my players My hands fall through, cause I've discovered it's all about the time I use. | ||
| Moved to California, out to live that western dream, but her eastern persona would never ever let her be. | ||
| She always had a missing hole. | ||

|
I don't know if, uh, I think I'm done. | |
| I mean, it's, uh, I love playing music. | ||
| It feels great to play for people again. | ||
| So thanks for staying around and listening to us play. | ||
| It's going to be a normal thing on Friday. | ||
| So yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. | ||
| It's going to get a lot better because we are going to, let me, uh, let me fix the audio mixing real quick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fixing the audio. | |
| To the best of my abilities, I suppose. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I need some hold music. | |
| We are going to be adding instruments, we got a mixer, and this is actually a little bit preliminary. | ||
| One of the reasons we moved up to the bigger space from the previous space was because we want to actually have, like, guests, man. | ||
| You know, jam sessions. | ||
| We could probably even have, like, some comedy stuff, too. | ||
| Ooh, you're right! | ||
| That would be fun. | ||
| Be fun to get someone to come out and do a few minutes of, like, jokes or whatever. | ||
| So, that space that we have is just temporary. | ||
| It's just where we hung the guitars. | ||
| It's actually like a lounge space for guests when they show up. | ||
| We actually have an area we're putting together where it's going to be like an actual stool, drum kit, and stuff, and we're working on it. | ||
| So, it's going to be a heckin' good time. | ||
| A heckin' good time. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| So, thanks to everybody for the Super Chats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Should we get to bed, I guess? | |
| I see a bunch of new super chats. | ||
| I mean, it is, um, you know, it's just a lot of people saying Adam is awesome, you know, and how awesome Tim is. | ||
| His music is great. | ||
| No, so, but yeah, I love you guys. | ||
| You guys are so great. | ||
| I mean, they paid money to tell us how good we are. | ||
| At least we can do is read it. | ||
| Read compliments about, like, Tim, you're great. | ||
| Okay, here you go. | ||
| Seriously though, thanks for everybody for hanging out and listen to us play. | ||
| It's, it's really, it's great. | ||
| Yeah, I've been playing music since I was, uh, I started playing drums when I was seven. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I didn't even know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That long. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Since I was seven, I started playing guitar when I was 12 and I've been writing music the entire time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I started skateboarding when I was just about to turn 14. | ||
| So I was 13 and doing that. | ||
| It shows. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know what? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I am lucky. | ||
| Oh, you know why I'm lucky? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| My mom homeschooled me before kindergarten. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| You were ready to go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
| You're a go-getter. | ||
| to go. As you know, as for being someone from the south side of Chicago, one of the few | ||
| people who had parents who were like, get the kids to do something. Yeah. But also it's | ||
| just part of who I am, you know, I think being the youngest in my family, wanting to skate, | ||
| wanting to just do better, wanting to solve problems, level up. Yeah. So I play, uh, we | ||
| got, we have, uh, that, that song I played, I wonder how many of you understood exactly | ||
| Yeah, it's a good song. | ||
| Yeah, the song is The Will of the People. | ||
| I recorded a scratch version. | ||
| It's the one that I'm going to put out first, probably. | ||
| That's the one that he wants animation for. | ||
| Yeah, so I've actually talked to some people, and I'll tell you all. | ||
| I will reveal the secret behind this song and the plans for the animation. | ||
| The first verse is out on the march in the morning. | ||
| He called his soldiers down to gun down the rebels, you know, to gun those traitors down or whatever. | ||
| It's basically the dictator comes out, he points, he says, you know, take out the activists. | ||
| You see the soldiers break into the house, there's protest posters, they arrest the activists, you know, beat them and then black bag them and drag them away, while a kid is hiding under the bed crying, watching it all happening. | ||
| Then you see the kid's face turn into a young adult, and then he pulls a mask up, then he raises a fist, and a bunch of people run forward and then knock down statues of the dictator. | ||
| And then the first bridge part is where they're executing all of the former regime. | ||
| But then the final verse, this young man's face now morphs into an older man who puts on the military cap and then calls a soldier down to take out the activists, because that's why the song is called The Will of the People. | ||
| Every single time something bad happens where they think they have a right to suppress the people, they have the right to kill the fascists or whatever. | ||
| It's always about the people have willed it so. | ||
| That's what everyone thinks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| God is on my side or whatever. | ||
| And so that's what the animation is basically going to be. | ||
| That's what we're working on. | ||
| That's a good song. | ||
| That's a good song. | ||
| It'll be great with like full music and stuff. | ||
| Every time I hear it, it's in my head for a few days. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's good. | ||
| I mean, I'm not upset. | ||
| It's a good song, but it gets in there. | ||
| I just wanted to get that real visceral feeling. | ||
| It's like where you see the end, the last verse is like the reveal in the video. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where it's like this revolutionary. | ||
| Then it's like his face changes and then he puts on the same general's hat. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, it's such good imagery. | ||
| And then he calls the soldiers out. | ||
| Yeah, I love it. | ||
| They break into the same house. | ||
| Then there's like a little girl hiding in the bed crying, watching it happening. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then it ends with like kind of a flash of like it just keeps happening over and over again. | ||
| Never ends. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's great. | |
| That's what it's all about, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| So, uh, I guess we'll wrap things up. | ||
