| Hello everyone. | ||
| In these trying times, it's very important to remain transparent. | ||
| You may have seen that across Instagram, all of these companies are posting the racial makeup of their companies, because that's the most important thing when trying to figure out if you're going to buy a product. | ||
| Well, we here at Timcast IRL are minority owned. | ||
| And that means if you don't give us your money, you're racist. | ||
| All right? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Don't ask us about the racial makeup of the entire company. | ||
| All you need to know is that the guy who owns it happens to be mixed-race. | ||
| Therefore, we're good, right? | ||
| I'm proud to work for a mixed-race boss. | ||
| You see? | ||
| The race thing doesn't even matter. | ||
| There's a viral video right now of a black cop getting attacked by a bunch of white people. | ||
| Yeah, that's crazy. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| They don't really care. | ||
| So it's a joke, by the way. | ||
| I don't expect you to give me money because I happen to be part Asian or whatever. | ||
| But think about how stupid that is. | ||
| If you like the show, you can super chat or whatever. | ||
| It feels like we're regressing. | ||
| Yeah, it does. | ||
| Dude, it is. | ||
| We're maintaining segregation more now. | ||
| It's like demanding segregation. | ||
| It's like, don't we want to all be together as one? | ||
| No, there's definitely people out there that want to maintain that. | ||
| I have a feeling it's not Black Lives Matter people. | ||
| No, it's the weirdos who are commandeering it. | ||
| You know who James Lindsay is, right? | ||
| We talked about him. | ||
| He tweeted recently, the ends of the horseshoe have touched. | ||
| You know horseshoe theory? | ||
| No, what is it? | ||
| That the far left and the far right actually bend around and start coming close to each other. | ||
| And he said they've touched. | ||
| They're basically advocating for the same things now. | ||
| It's not really left and right, though. | ||
| It's just because you can have identity politics, a government based on identity, Intersectionality, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| Anybody, white, black, whatever. | ||
| And so you have white identitarianism, which is like a government about being white, policy rights based on being white or something. | ||
| I don't want to act like I know exactly what most of those people think. | ||
| All that it boils down to for me is we want race to be a defining factor in how government runs and that sounds like a nightmare. | ||
| Yeah, it does. | ||
| Instead of merit? | ||
| Wouldn't we just want merit? | ||
| It doesn't matter what race you are if you're good for the job. | ||
| Wouldn't that be precedent? | ||
| Merit is racist, bro. | ||
| Is it? | ||
| Like how good you are or something? | ||
| How is that racist? | ||
| Because people of color don't grow up with the same privilege you have. | ||
| Well, that sounds like what the issue is. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I mean- The argument is that if you grew up in a slum, in a ghetto, the likelihood that you understand and know things and have skills and access is lower than someone who didn't. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that's what we should be focusing on. | ||
| Isn't it funny that it's obviously a class issue? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And instead they're like- It's exactly what I'm saying. | ||
| It's a class issue. | ||
| This is why I don't like it either. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is why I don't like, you know, that's why I make fun of it. | ||
| It's a joke. | ||
| Gives me money or you're racist. | ||
| That's what they're all doing. | ||
| That's what they're all posting. | ||
| Shout out to Lauren Chen, by the way, because that was her joke. | ||
| She posted it on Twitter and I thought it was funny. | ||
| So I made a title card for it. | ||
| You commandeered it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| But I'll give her credit for it. | ||
| It was funny. | ||
| I saw her post it. | ||
| She's like, what are all these companies on Instagram doing? | ||
| And I saw that and I'm like, this is so gross, man. | ||
| I don't like it because like in the past, in 1964, You have the Civil Rights Act. | ||
| The government and public accommodations cannot do these things. | ||
| It's a negative right. | ||
| What you can't do. | ||
| Not what you're granted. | ||
| And then in 1967 we had Loving v. Virginia. | ||
| What the government can't do. | ||
| It was criminal for interracial marriage and cohabitation. | ||
| Right, so we were a, like, white identitarian. | ||
| Not even necessarily white identitarian, but, like, for the most part, because it was white-dominated. | ||
| We had racial laws on the books. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We got rid of this stuff! | |
| We made it illegal! | ||
| And everything was great for my family for a long time. | ||
| And we're all like, hey, that's cool. | ||
| And now, all of a sudden, these people are bringing it back. | ||
| That's why I don't like them. | ||
| Dude, there's... No matter which identitarian faction wins, I'm not gonna be happy about it. | ||
| That's why, you know, I was talking... So I was on Crowder the other day. | ||
| You wanted to ask about Crowder. | ||
| Yeah, let's talk about Crowder. | ||
| How was it? | ||
| It was great. | ||
| It was fun. | ||
| Crowder's sending me a Sig M400. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He said it was a Cadillac of guns. | ||
| It's pretty dope looking. | ||
| I'm a little jealous. | ||
| I gotta be honest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| All right. | ||
| I'll take it. | ||
| I'll take it. | ||
| A gun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was going to go get one. | ||
| I wasn't planning on getting a Sig M400, but hey, if they're going to send me one. | ||
| But now you're, you're getting one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I watched it. | ||
| He's loud. | ||
| I understand why. | ||
| Louder with Crowder. | ||
| Totally accurate. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So a couple points to be made. | ||
| You know, one of the things I brought up on his show is the reason I don't like what they're doing is that for me and my family and how I grew up, my hope is for an American identity. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Because I don't get quarter from any of these factions. | ||
| If I talk to the left, I'm white. | ||
| If I talk to the white identitarians, I'm not white. | ||
| The people who are like, hey man, as long as you're American, I'm like, there we go. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's why I don't like... | ||
| The encroachment of positive racial rights, which means the government saying that we must give something, you know, based on your race. | ||
| All of a sudden then, you have these very fine, you know, paths where it's like, if you are this race, you get X. | ||
| All right, that's going to be dangerous. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because then you're taking from one group to give to another group. | ||
| And it's based on race. | ||
| Like that will exacerbate racism. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The other thing is, though... That's the last thing we need right now. | ||
| I just want to point out, I want to point out something because Steven Crowder was doing Cultural Appropriation Month, I think it is. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| I think it is. | ||
| I think it's a whole month. | ||
| Is that why he was a Viking? | ||
| That's why he was a Viking. | ||
| That is correct, sir. | ||
| And I just have to say, you know, I realized something. | ||
| In Philadelphia, there's a bunch of men culturally appropriating my culture, and I'm really kind of triggered by it, and I'd like them to stop appropriating my roof Korean culture. | ||
| You got these men in Philly staying on rooftops with guns, and you know, you can't do that, nah. | ||
| That's overstepping a line. | ||
| That's not cool, yo. | ||
| That's cultural appropriation. | ||
| We started it. | ||
| I'm kidding, by the way. | ||
| We had it first. | ||
| I don't care what these people are like. | ||
| The weirdest thing about these guys in Philly is how you have all these lefties panicking. | ||
| And I'm like, are you panicking because you're planning on looting those stores? | ||
| Kind of telling. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What would I be worried about? | ||
| If I walk up, how's it going, buddy? | ||
| What's up? | ||
| Doing a good job. | ||
| When I was in Ferguson, the Oath Keepers were there. | ||
| And all these activists are like, they're all freaking out because they're walking around with guns. | ||
| And I was like, I guess when you've been to Egypt and people have guns everywhere and you're in a car with some AKs, you're not worried about an American. | ||
| It's kind of weird. | ||
| I guess if you're an American, why would you be freaking out over this? | ||
| It's almost, you know, it's kind of weird. | ||
| It almost feels like you're not allowed to be American anymore. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like it's kind of against the rules to just be proud of America. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When did that happen? | ||
| It feels like that. | ||
| This is the scary thing. | ||
| I think it was, it might have been, I can't remember who tweeted this out, so forgive me for not crediting you. | ||
| They said one of the greatest, you know, propagandistic accomplishments was convincing young people that America was the evil empire instead of the saving light of the planet. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| And I'll tell you what, man, it is true. | ||
| Because I've been to these countries. | ||
| I've been to other places. | ||
| I mean, you can pray some European nations for sure. | ||
| But the United States is one of the leaders in anti-discrimination and multiculturalism. | ||
| And these people who are acting like America is the evil empire have never been to China. | ||
| China made a commercial where they put a black man in a washing machine. | ||
| China is overtly arrested and laughed about it. | ||
| And then harvest organs of another minority group to sell on the black market. | ||
| Well, to sell to some of these other wealthy oil nations, at least. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We don't do that here. | ||
| No, we don't. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| We don't. | ||
| Well, okay, so here's what you gotta do if you're just tuning in. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| We've already got a ridiculous amount of superchats, so I gotta be honest with you, we will do our best to read as many as we can, but full disclosure, we're not gonna be able to read everybody's superchats, but we do read a lot. | ||
| We do read a lot. | ||
| And comment, hit the subscribe button. | ||
| And smash that like button! | ||
| Smash, smash, smash! | ||
| Just once. | ||
| Or you can just gently hit the like button. | ||
| Just one time. | ||
| Because if you hit it twice, you actually de-like it. | ||
| So smash it three times! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Because then the one will work. | ||
| Lightly tap it. | ||
| So we actually have the first story that we want to talk about. | ||
| It's really contentious, man. | ||
| So we have this story about... You probably have seen it. | ||
| It's like two or three cops. | ||
| They're standing here. | ||
| This old guy walks up. | ||
| They like push him, the guy stumbles backwards, falls, hits his head, bleeds from his ear, and he's in serious condition. | ||
| And this led to a huge outcry. | ||
| Now, I personally don't like the video, and I complained about it. | ||
| That's not nice. | ||
| Because I think, whatever your argument is, we can't have, like, look, all these cops, whatever they're doing, you've got to be able to, in the moment, say, this guy is an old guy who's, whether he's angry or not, and you've got to be able to adapt. | ||
| If an old man comes up to you and he's going, imagine if Joe Biden walked up to you and was all belligerent. | ||
| Oh, I would push him immediately. | ||
| No hesitation. | ||
| I didn't say he was sniffing your sister. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Walks up to you. | ||
| I would expect him, he would probably see my long hair. | ||
| You can't see my long hair right now, but I'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, Biden back off. | ||
| He'd come up behind you and not realize you're a dude. | ||
| He'd start brushing my hair. | ||
| He does that, he like brushes the hair. | ||
| Creepy. | ||
| Anyway, the point is, if an old man walks up to you, I understand there's difficult circumstances, but when you look around here, look man, I've been in these situations with cops, I do not believe any of this is necessary, but I gotta admit, it does look like it was an accident. | ||
| But, I think it's rooted in them not really... | ||
| Not being trained properly and not thinking as individuals, I really do feel that way. | ||
| And the reason I say that is not to be disrespectful. | ||
| It's just, when this guy falls over and he's bleeding, one of the guys actually stops, like he looks like he's gonna help him, and the other cop, like, pushes him on the back like, no, go forward. | ||
| Ignore him. | ||
| And then he calls it in. | ||
| And so I think they realize like, oh man, this guy felt like, what do I do? | ||
| And they're like, no, no, no, no, ignore him. | ||
| Like, we'll take care of it. | ||
| And that's all you can do. | ||
| It shouldn't have happened in the first place. | ||
| True. | ||
| You can't, I think we can't have policing that treats every single situation as though it's going to be rioters. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because then you actually make riots. | ||
| But that's how they're trained, isn't it? | ||
| Like, aren't they trained to be able to handle the worst of the worst situations and always expect that that could happen? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Because the truth of the matter is, though, that is, that could happen. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, they could, a situation can turn seemingly normal to someone shooting at them, you know. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That quickly, you know. | ||
| Man, it's a tough situation. | ||
| You know, man, I've been in situations like this. I've been surrounded by anti but you got to keep | ||
| your cool. Yeah. So I think one of the challenges not so much the training, but the directives they | ||
| have, like you can't do this, you have to do this. And so that creates a specific example. | ||
| What do you mean? So like, stay in formation. | ||
| Don't break ranks, no matter what. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So when the guy falls over and the one cop, like, you know, kind of reaches down, and then the other cop's like, no, no, no, no. | ||
| It looks like he, like, pushes him on the back, like, to keep going. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it looked like the cop wanted to check if he was all right. | ||
| Yeah, seriously. | ||
| I was like, oh! | ||
| Why not let him? | ||
| A spark of humanity? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no! | |
| He wanted to see if he was okay, but the guy behind him, nope! | ||
| We would be liable, or, like, what was going through his head there, you know? | ||
| I think there's something I refer to as a scaling problem. | ||
| And I know many of you who listen to my videos, you probably already have heard me say it, but I think I'm going to repeat it for anybody who doesn't know it. | ||
| If Apple gives out 100 iPhones and 1% break, then everyone's like, well, I don't know, it's one phone, who cares? | ||
| If they give out 100 million phones and 1% break, now you've got a million stories popping up. | ||
| So I think that's what's happening with a lot of big city police departments. | ||
| For the most part, you have normal encounters, but you have a margin of error. | ||
| I do think the margin of failure for police increases as the communities become more disparate and fractured. | ||
| And when you think about how people are finding out about, to add your example, the people finding out about these broken iPhones Who's telling everybody about these broken iPhones? | ||
| Samsung. | ||
| Right, so funny. | ||
| But in the inverse though, we got the mainstream media controlling what people are seeing. | ||
| So they're amplifying it. | ||
| Any little tiny thing that they can get to spark the fire that's already blazing hot right now. | ||
| You know what really bothers me? | ||
| What? | ||
| I can't remember which city I was in, but there was a big group of older black people chanting, all lives matter. | ||
| And I live streamed it. | ||
| The media... You can't find it, man. | ||
| I searched for it. | ||
| I'm like, where can I find this? | ||
| It was Cincinnati. | ||
| I couldn't find it. | ||
| Pretty sure it was Cincinnati, and it was older black people chanting, All Lives Matter. | ||
| And then I started to think, like, you know, what we're seeing with this identitarianism stuff isn't about race. | ||
| It's about age. | ||
| Young people are intersectionalist, racialists, ethnicists, whatever you want to call them, leftist, identitarian, and | ||
| the older crowd isn't. | ||
| That's why, you know, in my experience, the older crowd hasn't been... | ||
| With a dash of entitlement. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In the mix. | ||
| The younger people. | ||
| For the younger generations. | ||
| Oh yeah, man. | ||
| Heaven forbid they ever use their hands. | ||
| Because we're so spoiled. | ||
| Like, I admit it fully. | ||
| I'm spoiled. | ||
| Man, I'm a vegan. | ||
| I can go to the store and get meat that is vegan, made from plants. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Like, what a time we're at, you know? | ||
| So, running water. | ||
| Clean water, even. | ||
| Simple. | ||
| Being able to flush the toilet and let my poop get carried away. | ||
| Like, that's incredible. | ||
| What a time we're in right now. | ||
| We don't think about the fact that we didn't normally have these kind of things for 99.99% of the human civilization on this planet. | ||
| Did I tell you the Occupy Farm story? | ||
| What? | ||
| Oh yeah, I think you did, but go ahead and tell it. | ||
| Activists were granted farmland. | ||
| And it was like a couple acres and they were like, come upstate and here's some farmland for the activists. | ||
| And a bunch of people did. | ||
| They wanted to get off the grid and go green and just live sustainably. | ||
| How long do you think they lasted? | ||
| A day. | ||
| Two weeks. | ||
| Two weeks. | ||
| Longer than I would have expected. | ||
| I was talking to my friend and I was like, why only two weeks? | ||
| And she told me, she's like, because you wake up at 6 a.m. | ||
| and go to bed at midnight. | ||
| You have to work all day. | ||
| And you work all day until bed. | ||
| And I was like, yeah, and? | ||
| So? | ||
| I do that now. | ||
| She was like, I wanted to just chill in my apartment and read and stuff. | ||
| I'm like, oh. | ||
| So you like the comforts. | ||
| Well, so let's read about why these officers are resigning. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They say 57 officers have resigned from their positions on a Buffalo police squad in support of two colleagues who were suspended after they were filmed shoving a 75-year-old peace activist to the ground, causing him to crack open his head. | ||
| The two officers were suspended without pay and are now under criminal investigation after footage showed them knocking Martin Gugino to the ground and leaving him with critical injuries in front of Buffalo City Hall in upstate New York on Thursday night. | ||
| The Buffalo Police Benevolent Association told the investigative post that all members of the department's emergency response team have since resigned. | ||
| Good. | ||
| I'm happy about it. | ||
| I am so happy about it. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| No, tell me. | ||
| Give the people what they want, man. | ||
| This is what I can't... You know, I get it when it comes to New York City and the police are between a rock and a hard place where if they actually stop the looters and there's police brutality videos and if they don't and the residents complain. | ||
| I'll tell you what, man. | ||
| If the residents of these cities want you out but they're unwilling to actually stand up and call for it to support you, then stop! | ||
| I'll tell you what you see right now. | ||
| You see a bunch of activists showing up in your town saying, abolish the police. | ||
| And then all the residents are minding their own business saying, oh, well, okay then. | ||
| Here's the vote. | ||
| You've got 17, abolish the police, and 463,000, no vote, abstained. | ||
| Guess who wins? | ||
| So if the police aren't getting the support they need, and the smartest thing they can do, in my opinion, is resign. | ||
| If the residents don't want to stand up for the cops because the cops are bad, Well then, there you go. | ||
| The cops can resign. | ||
| And if the mainstream media is shoving it down everyone's throat that all cops are bad, now we see cops are getting attacked. | ||
| It doesn't matter what race you are. | ||
| Oh man, that video is brutal. | ||
| I don't think I can play it. | ||
| No? | ||
| I can play a little bit, maybe. | ||
| But I think because they use racial slurs. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| You can leave the sound off. | ||
| I mean, you don't even need to. | ||
| You can see it. | ||
| All this says, you can tell obviously what's happening. | ||
| You got a black cop. | ||
| He even looks like he's a little older. | ||
| And they actually started attacking him. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So what do you call it when a group of angry white people attack a black man? | ||
| Uh, I know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's called a lynching. | |
| I guess that's when they killed him though. | ||
| That's a step further. | ||
| It's racially targeted. | ||
| No, I mean, it's racist. | ||
| Yeah, it really is. | ||
| It's like, are they just saying it because he's a cop? | ||
| Or, you know, it's like they're out marching for Black Lives Matter, and then you start attacking a black cop. | ||
| Like, that doesn't really make sense. | ||
| Because that phrase doesn't mean anything to them. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's a mindless mantra. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| They don't actually care. | ||
| That's what I tell my friends, man. | ||
| I'm like, you got to realize these people who are going out don't care about this, and that's why I don't like them. | ||
| Because when they say to me things like, we're fighting for people of color, I say, oh, okay, let me tell you about my experience. | ||
| They go, well, you're white. | ||
| You're not, you're not color enough. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| For us. | ||
| The scale, my color is dependent upon how much I agree with them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's why I'm like, you don't really care about what I think. | ||
| You don't care about helping me or my family or anything like that. | ||
| You're just lying because you know, it's really, really simple, man. | ||
| This country is like 70, 72% white or some large number. | ||
| And so they're not trying to win over the non-white demographic. | ||
| They're trying to win over the white demographic. | ||
| It's, listen, when you're a company, you have two choices, right? | ||
| Just bear with me. | ||
| You can make asparagus-flavored ice cream or chocolate-flavored ice cream. | ||
| Now, how many people do you think like asparagus-flavored ice cream? | ||
| Zero. | ||
| 0.0001 maybe, right? | ||
| Are we talking percents? | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| How many people like chocolate ice cream? | ||
| 65% of the population. | ||
| I'd say it's 90. | ||
| A huge majority, yeah. | ||
| There's people who like vanilla over chocolate. | ||
| I'm not one of them. | ||
| I didn't say they didn't like vanilla. | ||
| I'm saying just that they like chocolate. | ||
| Oh, sure. | ||
| Alright, I'll increase. | ||
| I was thinking it as their favorite. | ||
| If you're going to start a company that sells ice cream, are you going to choose to make asparagus-flavored ice cream? | ||
| No, that's stupid. | ||
| You're going to make whatever panders to the biggest crowd. | ||
| When you see these people, that's why all of these people out protesting for Black Lives Matter are white. | ||
| They're chanting to convince white people they're noble. | ||
| They want the white leftists to feel good about themselves. | ||
| Meanwhile, what did you see? | ||
| How many videos of minorities have we seen complaining about this? | ||
| How many rappers, like high-profile rappers, have been like, dude, what are you doing destroying our business? | ||
| And then the white liberals and media go, you don't understand. | ||
| They're just traumatized. | ||
| And he's like, what? | ||
| I live here. | ||
| They burned down my store. | ||
| And they're like, you don't get it because you're a bigot. | ||
| I'm seeing all of these videos all day long. | ||
| All it is is just these members of their community going, what are you guys doing? | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| This is them trying to control all of you. | ||
| Each video I'm watching is like, wow, that's some powerful truth right there. | ||
| They clearly don't care about the movement. | ||
| The peaceful protesters are all black, holding up signs, protesting peacefully. | ||
| It's like legit. | ||
| And then there are looters. | ||
| And then there's looters that have nothing to do with it. | ||
| They don't care about that at all. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And there are all sorts of, I've seen all races loot, people looting. | ||
| Here's the problem, here's the problem, man. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| The ideological looting and attacks are like the white Antifa. | ||
| But then a lot of the looting videos you see are black people doing it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm not saying that it's more of one or the other. | ||
| I'm not saying that. | ||
| I'm saying those are the things going around. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was talking to my friend about this and I said, my friend was telling me that she knows like overt racists down South that are sharing all these videos saying, see, see, see, it proves it. | ||
| And I'm like, this is a big problem that these white leftists support this because it's fuel for racism. | ||
| Yeah, seriously. | ||
| If you only show... I don't know what the actual makeup is for these videos and the race or anything like that. | ||
| All I know is a lot of the videos that are going around show one race doing it. | ||
| And then you'll see racists being like, see? | ||
| And I'm like, man, there's so much more than that. | ||
| And that's where I can't stand about these people because... | ||
| When we were talking about this in the very beginning, about privilege, they think if you're born with no privilege, it's harder for you to succeed. | ||
| And if you have privilege, it's easier to succeed. | ||
| That's why you must check your privilege. | ||
| It's like, okay, so it's a class argument. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Like Will Smith's kids grew up way more advantaged than both of us. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| You know what's funny? | ||
| Alexis Ohanian. | ||
| Do you know who he is? | ||
| No. | ||
| Co-founder of Reddit. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He just resigned from the board, right? | ||
| You resigned? | ||
| Yeah, I heard about this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He did. | |
| And he said he wants his position to be filled by a black person. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And he's gonna give all future gains from his, I guess, stock or whatever, to invest in the black community and stuff like that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He's married to Serena, I think he's married to Serena Williams. | ||
| Yeah, he is. | ||
| And he has a daughter with her. | ||
| And it's like, bro. | ||
| So he doesn't need any of that. | ||
| He's already achieved it. | ||
| It's like, sure, whatever. | ||
| What is your wife worth in terms of millions of dollars? | ||
| She's not oppressed, dude. | ||
| Like, I understand there are some things that can be oppressive, but on the whole, man, your family has so much power. | ||
| Now, Alexis is a really, he's a really nice guy. | ||
| I'm not trying to disrespect him. | ||
| I know him and he's always been super, super cool. | ||
| He's very, very diplomatic and he's a really nice guy. | ||
| I got respect for him trying to do good. | ||
| I just think, first of all, if that's what he wanted to do, I got no beef. | ||
| Go ahead and do it. | ||
| I just think that's a misguided attempt. | ||
| Look, if you're gonna help anybody, that's cool. | ||
| I don't care who he gives the money to to help teach, learn, educational centers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I just see this as, you know, someone who has grown up on the South Side to a mixed family. | ||
| I've seen white people suffer with no privilege, thrown in the gutter, arrested falsely, all these things. | ||
| It's just about, look, if you think that marginalized communities, black people, brown people, Hispanic, Asian, whatever, are worse off to start because of wealth, Then if you approach this from a class angle, then you deal with it all. | ||
| And you don't got to worry about singling anybody out due to race. | ||
| Hey, you want to know what I just found out? | ||
| It's really interesting. | ||
| So Serena Williams is worth $200 million. | ||
| You want to know how much Alexis Ohanian is worth? 70. | ||
| $70 million. | ||
| She's worth more than twice what her husband is worth. | ||
| And he's giving all. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So they're married. | ||
| So that's 270 mil together. | ||
| Hold on, man. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| So, so, so far this, they have successfully smashed the white heteronormative. | ||
| No, it's just the white patriarchy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And the glass ceiling for her. | ||
| Yeah, just the white patriarchy. | ||
| So there's still the cis, heteronormative aspect they haven't been able to deal with. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| They did have a kid. | ||
| Alexis. | ||
| He's gonna have to go gender neutral or something. | ||
| No, I don't mean to disrespect either of them, because I think Serena's actually super cool. | ||
| She's an amazing athlete. | ||
| I think Alexis is a really good dude. | ||
| She's a boss. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| I've bumped into Alexis in really weird situations, like randomly at the airport one day. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| And I'm like, Alexis, and he's like, Oh, hey, man, how you doing? | ||
| He's a really good dude. | ||
| And this, I see what he's doing. | ||
| And I want to make sure this is very clear. | ||
| What he's doing is cool. | ||
| You know, he's not ragging on anybody. | ||
| He's not coming down on anybody. | ||
| That's what I don't like. | ||
| He's literally saying, I'm going to give up some of what I have to try and help others. | ||
| That's right on. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| My only thing is, I wish people were more focused on class issues. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| 100% agreed. | ||
| Because, like I was just saying, if you think it is mostly about race, then you'll still end up mostly helping that race by your own logic. | ||
| You can just avoid the all lives matter, black lives matter argument outright and bring people together by saying we're going to help everybody who's poor. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| You can even say we're going to help everybody who's poor on the south side of Chicago. | ||
| And then guess what? | ||
| You end up wrapping up Latinos, you get black people involved, and you're helping creating an education center that can bring everyone together. | ||
| Not only that, what I think we really need too, especially in Chicago, because we talked about this the other day, would be like some kind of community center bridging these racial lines where they separate different communities. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Sounds great. | ||
| Yeah, because then you'll have people of all races hanging out. | ||
| It's like playing card games, skateboarding. | ||
| It always happens. | ||
| It's like, whenever, you know, the guy who went to all these different white nationalists and was talking to them and converting them. | ||
| Daryl. | ||
| Daryl Davis. | ||
| Awesome dude. | ||
| But what he was doing was proving to them that we're all the same. | ||
| Oh, you like the same thing as me? | ||
| And then all of a sudden something clicked. | ||
| It's like, oh, wow. | ||
| I didn't even think that you could be the same as me. | ||
| I refuse to let all these things that are going on today create that divide. | ||
| And that's what's happening. | ||
| It's like someone out there wants us to be divided and we need to just stop that. | ||
| We got to realize we're all in this together. | ||
| There's an asteroid right now that's flying towards Earth. | ||
| I'm not joking. | ||
| I know. | ||
| If it hits us, we could all just die. | ||
| That could happen. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| And we wouldn't be able to stop it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or we could just come together. | ||
| I mean, yeah, obviously it's not going to hit us. | ||
| It's actually going to be like 60 million miles away. | ||
| Don't don't don't don't don't. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| We're trying to be optimistic here. | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| It's not it's not going to hit us. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Don't say don't don't. | ||
| You're taking away people's hope right now. | ||
| Somebody tweeted the story of the meteor headed to Earth and they were like, thank you. | ||
| Finally! | ||
| It's the waiting I can't stand. | ||
| Right, seriously. | ||
| I love everybody. | ||
| We gotta realize we're all in this together. | ||
| All of us. | ||
| When I was little I used to hang out with, there was a Mexican kid, there was a Filipino kid. | ||
| And I was thinking about this when I was growing up, a bunch of white people, and I was just like, whenever I would hear about racism and stuff, I thought to myself, I really think proximity is gonna end all this. | ||
| Because a lot of the racism stuff you hear comes from isolated communities. | ||
| People who have never met a person of a certain race can only imagine based on stereotypes they've seen in TV or movies or whatever. | ||
| And so I was really excited. | ||
| I was like, I think when we're like, the more we spend time together and over time, it'll heal these wounds. | ||
| And then when we're older, you know, like in a few generations, we're going to be like, oh yeah, that's, you know, that's John from down the street. | ||
| And it might be an Asian person or a black person. | ||
| And that was when Occupy Wall Street happened. | ||
| They were intent on segregating everybody. | ||
| They really did this. | ||
| During Occupy Wall Street, they created racial groups and made sure everybody stayed in their group. | ||
| And they wouldn't allow people to cross over. | ||
| So if you wanted to vote for resources, you had racial blocks. | ||
| So all the black people were part of a caucus. | ||
| There was no white people caucus. | ||
| You weren't allowed to. | ||
| The Asians, the Latino, the women's. | ||
| It was only for marginalized groups. | ||
| And so what do you think happens then when you have Only people based on race separate from each other. | ||
| Fighting for resources. | ||
| It creates a divide. | ||
| Talk about- It creates segregation. | ||
| It's like, we gotta realize that it's a class issue. | ||
| All of society needs to be revamped so that everyone can benefit. | ||
| And that's not the way it is. | ||
| You know, you know, it is a class issue, but you know what else it is? | ||
| It's, uh, I don't know what causes it, but young people are really unworldly, right? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They don't, like we were just talking about, they don't understand the value of hard work. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| You're right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they, like they, you know, we're entitled. | |
| What were we saying earlier? | ||
| Like we were, we were, we were cooking earlier. | ||
| John D. Rockefeller would look upon the homeless of America today with envy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This guy, 100 years ago, richest guy in the world, oil baron, laughing with his monocle, I control the world's energy! | ||
| Then he would look into the future and see a homeless guy walk into a McDonald's with air conditioning, with clean running water. | ||
| He'd walk into an urgent clinic and give two bucks for an antibiotic, and he'd be like, Wow. | ||
| Not only that, he'd see the homeless guy and be like, this homeless man has no polio. | ||
| And they'd be like, yeah, no one does. | ||
| It's cured. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He'd be like, what? | |
| Wow. | ||
| Harumph! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| No, he'd be shy. | ||
| It would be envy. | ||
| Think about the people of all, like all of the accomplishments we've made. | ||
| Capitalism has been the greatest reducer of poverty, the greatest creator of wealth and education, and they're trying to tear it down. | ||
| So think about where we're at so far with our constitutional republic and capitalistic system. | ||
| Now, we're not a laissez-faire capitalism. | ||
| We got regulation, we got the Fed, we got a bunch of things people complain about. | ||
| But think about what this hath wrought. | ||
| We've got civil rights legislation. | ||
| We've got same-sex marriage, same-sex adoption, interracial marriage since the 60s. | ||
| We've come a long way, man. | ||
| We really have. | ||
| And things are only getting better. | ||
| Yeah, it's like I was saying, like, you're not allowed to be wrong. | ||
| You're not allowed to admit you're wrong. | ||
| You're not allowed to learn. | ||
| That's the biggest thing, actually. | ||
| You're not allowed to learn. | ||
| So you take someone who doesn't realize that, who's been sheltered their whole life, their family was super racist, you know, like, because it exists in the past, you know? | ||
| So here we are down the line, and then this person goes out into the world, and someone goes, oh, your family was racist? | ||
| Well, F you. | ||
| I'm never gonna ever speak to you ever. | ||
| And they're like, what just happened? | ||
| I don't even know. | ||
| Like, you seemed like a nice person, but now I think you're kind of an a-hole, you know? | ||
| But it's like, cancel culture. | ||
| It's all in the same lines. | ||
| Like, you're not allowed to learn anymore as a human. | ||
| You either get it right 100% all the time through your entire past, or we're canceling you outright. | ||
| What I'm saying is I think that there is some force that wants to destroy everything we've created. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's why I consider it to be evil. | ||
| You know, we have some problems. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We've got environmental problems. | ||
| We've got sustainability issues. | ||
| And we've talked about reasonable solutions. | ||
| Like, how cool would it be if people had mini farms, everyone had a garden? | ||
| I love this idea. | ||
| You know, people who live in the suburbs in the country could replace their lawns with mini gardens and sustain themselves off their own food a little bit. | ||
| Yeah, remake cities. | ||
| Cities are designed to keep people in control and owned, essentially. | ||
| Everybody in a city. | ||
| I'm not talking racial. | ||
| But I don't think it's designed. | ||
| I think it's how the dominoes fell. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| That's way more accurate because as life went on, we got bigger farms. | ||
| There's billions of us on this planet now. | ||
| Billions of us. | ||
| Antiquated ways are just carrying us into where we are now. | ||
| So listen, we're getting better. | ||
| We need a hard check. | ||
| We're getting better. | ||
| We are getting better, yeah. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| We're improving. | ||
| The issue is, these people who are socialists and communists want to end the system that created wealth, prosperity, and fixes these things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| America is a leader in ending plastic pollution. America is a leader in reducing carbon emissions. | ||
| And these people are trying to destroy the system that created the good while ignoring | ||
| the people that are exploiting it, like China and India. | ||
| You see the things they're doing with all their waste, all their cities, their recklessness. And | ||
| even corporations that are here. And they're fighting because Trump's trying to cut | ||
| off trade to China, who's the producer in cheap goods. | ||
| That's upping their profits. | ||
| So of course they're pissed. | ||
| They want him out. | ||
| He's trying to bring it back to America. | ||
| We were watching this video from Fleca's Talks. | ||
| It was actually a video from Seymour Views, which you may have seen. | ||
| Seymour Views is a black man in the hood. | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| What a boss. | ||
| Asking them some real questions. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Like he was talking about the globalists and the Illuminati and stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Lose me a little bit there. | ||
| But this dude was walking up to young kid, young guys and talking to them about how | ||
| asking them some real questions, real questions saying, what do you think about | ||
| America? | ||
| What do you think about Trump? | ||
| And his kids are like F America. | ||
| And he goes, F America. | ||
| Is that what you really think? | ||
| He's like, okay, where do you want to go? | ||
| Pick a country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And they're like, oh, well, and he's like, nah, man, nah. | ||
| He's like, America's awesome. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And then he was like, all this stuff they're telling you about Trump, about | ||
| white people. | ||
| It's not true, man. | ||
| You know, it's not true. And then these kids are like, yeah, that's true, man. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Like they're just trying to, you know, and then he brought up a really, really good | ||
| point. | ||
| I said, whatever his opinions are, you know, in terms of Trump and the Illuminati, he said, | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| listen, these people who tell you to hate Trump, they got their money tied up overseas | ||
| in these global industries. | ||
| They don't like what Trump is doing. | ||
| And I was like, they nailed it. | ||
| Yeah, it's not. | ||
| We're going to talk about the Illuminati or the globalists. | ||
| You can you can talk about that if that's how you want to frame it. | ||
| It's really simple, man. | ||
| They've got stock in foreign exchanges. | ||
| They've got properties in foreign countries. | ||
| And Trump is saying, stop sending your manufacturing to a foreign country and hire American workers. | ||
| And they're like, but I'll make less money. | ||
| We're not going to make as much money, though. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| This is why it's funny. | ||
| Boom! | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Because the people who are anti-capitalist because they oppose exploitation are the ones supporting open borders. | ||
| And exploiting other countries. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Not our countries. | ||
| Don't exploit America. | ||
| We exploit other countries and make money off of it. | ||
| Bernie Sanders in 2015 said that it was a Koch brothers proposal to have open borders. | ||
| The idea being that if the borders are open, you can hire anybody you want. | ||
| Pay them dirt. | ||
| So they can exploit people here and still make a lot of profit. | ||
| There's horror stories about what these companies do. | ||
| When NAFTA came out, the Free Trade Agreement, Trump opposed it. | ||
| You had companies that would set up and they would displace Mexican companies because they would come in and offer slightly more, which was dramatically less, and that would devastate the local economy. | ||
| And then they would pay these people trash and then sell it back to us and it would just create all kinds of problems. | ||
| So the free trade basically meant they could manufacture in Mexico and bring it to the | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| US for free. | ||
| Trump was like, nah, if you want to do that, you got to pay a tariff to bring that in. | ||
| And that means it's cheaper to hire American workers, which is better for our economy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| You ever see that? | ||
| Have you ever listened to that leaked audio? | ||
| I don't know if it's real, but it's a Ukrainian guy and he's like, listen, if Hillary gets | ||
| elected, it's good for us. | ||
| If Donald Trump, it's good for America. | ||
| But, you know, we want the good for us. | ||
| That's basically what he was saying. | ||
| Like, Trump is trying to do things that are going to be good for Americans all around. | ||
| And so these people who control industry around the world are very much so like, I don't want to lose money if Donald Trump. | ||
| And it's all these super rich people, man. | ||
| I wonder how many of these people have investments in China. | ||
| A lot, I'm sure. | ||
| You look at these these these academics who are in on the take, essentially lying to the federal government for grant money and then taking cash from China. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if there are U.S. | ||
| politicians who have invested in, they do it in clever ways, right? | ||
| It'll be it'll be a holding company in the Bahamas owned by a Chinese nationalist, you know, a Chinese national. | ||
| You hear that Bahamas is slowly being taken over by China? | ||
| Oh, I'm not surprised. | ||
| Yeah, everywhere, dude. | ||
| And you look at what's going on with China now, I wouldn't be surprised when... Well, I'll put it this way. | ||
| Tucker Carlson ran this segment, where apparently they wanted to investigate Michael Flynn, Trump's national security advisor, former, because he had expressed to, I think, Susan Rice, that China was a bigger threat than Russia. | ||
| And all of a sudden they were like freaking out. | ||
| We gotta shut this guy down. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| I wonder why. | ||
| Think about all the companies that were like, we're sorry, China. | ||
| And it makes you wonder. | ||
| I'm not saying it's a grand conspiracy. | ||
| I think over the past several decades, we've been sold out through loot. | ||
| What they thought was that by doing these deals with China, China would westernize it. | ||
| Instead, we China-ized. | ||
| And now we have censorship and all this other stupid nonsense. | ||
| No, it's not even that. | ||
| It's more like we're living in their city. | ||
| They make all of our products. | ||
| They make all of our stuff. | ||
| It breaks. | ||
| We need to go buy more. | ||
| It breaks. | ||
| We need to go buy more. | ||
| It's just... | ||
| Everything is made there. | ||
| Yeah it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We need to make our own stuff. | |
| It's getting really hard lately. | ||
| They are ramping up the propaganda and demoralization. | ||
| The videos that come out... | ||
| Like, I watched one video today, it was called Whose Side Are You On? | ||
| And it's just propaganda made by these leftists where everything is the worst possible cop thing you could ever experience. | ||
| Listen, man, I talk about the scaling problem. | ||
| If you've got, you know, 30 cities that are protesting, And you've got 24 hours in a day, over a week, you've got a lot of opportunity to find instances that, you know, the police do one or two things here or there that are objectionable, that need to be called out. | ||
| I don't think you could ever get a police department to be 100% perfect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That means there will always be an opportunity for a malicious actor to grab enough video | ||
| to put together a compilation of police brutality and then say, see it's a problem. | ||
| And there's no one out there reporting the good police officers. | ||
| There are. | ||
| No, there are. | ||
| It's just a lot. | ||
| I mean, I'm not talking about just maybe in this past week. | ||
| I'm talking about in general, like, you know, think about what a good act. | ||
| Yeah, you know, you see them few and far between, but it doesn't get the clicks. | ||
| I actually think, sometimes, I actually think there are more stories done by local journalists that are positive for cops, but they don't go viral. | ||
| Uh, okay. | ||
| Let's see what you mean. | ||
| You know, throw us, you know, like this story right here with the dude getting pushed over. | ||
| This is, it's viral rage bait. | ||
| Like everybody sees it and immediately has a reaction to it. | ||
| But there was, there's a ton of stories that you'll see like a cop plays basketball with | ||
| Or you ever see the video that went viral recently of the cop doing a fakie big flip skateboarding? | ||
| Totally. | ||
| And that all skateboarders were like going nuts for it. | ||
| And I'm like, right, this cop who's skating is probably like 27. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| He's been skating his whole life, same as everybody else. | ||
| Good skater. | ||
| And now he has a job. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so when he sees the kid skating, he walks up. | ||
| He's like, let me try your board. | ||
| And he does a fakie big flip, which mind you is a pretty good trick. | ||
| It's that switch that I was saying. | ||
| We're just the same. | ||
| We're both humans. | ||
| Oh wow. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| We gotta remember that. | ||
| We gotta do that more often. | ||
| Realize we're all human. | ||
| I was in Virginia and this young kid had accidentally bumped a car in a parking lot and scuffed it up, panicked, didn't know what to do, and left. | ||
| And he came back to his apartment. | ||
| And the cops showed up, and he was having a panic attack because it's like, you just turned a minor fender bender into a hit-and-run. | ||
| And the cops said to him, you realize that by doing that you turned a minor scuffle, scuff, it's gonna be a couple hundred bucks, into a hit-and-run, which is a serious crime. | ||
| And the kid's freaking out and the cop was like, don't worry about it, man. | ||
| Like no one's gonna arrest you or anything. | ||
| We just wanna let you know, all we're gonna do is give the guy your phone number | ||
| and he's gonna ask you to take care of it. | ||
| And he's like, for real? | ||
| And he's like, yeah. | ||
| And then the cops like chilled and hung out while family guy was on for like 10, 15 minutes | ||
| and just talked normal stuff. | ||
| Like, so what do you, like the guys, it was young guys. | ||
| They were like 28, 20, 30. | ||
| Most of the interactions I've had with cops have been like regular guys on the job. | ||
| You respect that they're on the job, things are normal. | ||
| But I've had bad encounters, too. | ||
| Like, really bad ones. | ||
| Really, really bad ones. | ||
| Yeah, me too. | ||
| And if I was a stupid person, I would conflate bad people doing bad things with other people who did nothing wrong. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that's, I think, the problem that people have when it comes to, you know, propaganda and how the media plays this game. | ||
| Which, uh... | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| Let's jump over to another story, which is in a similar vein, and we'll talk about propaganda. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| This is Jesse Singel. | ||
| He's a journalist. | ||
| He's a good one. | ||
| I guess he's authoring now. | ||
| Former New York mag and co-host of The Bar Pod. | ||
| And he highlights this journalist, Zach Beauchamp, who tweeted this. | ||
| I'm sorry, but quote, abolish the police seems like a poorly thought out idea that's gotten popular with shocking speed. | ||
| Hear, hear. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| I agree. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A poorly thought out does. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I mean, we've talked about it a lot and I, man, I don't even think we've scratched the surface of it. | ||
| We've entertained the intricacies of what that means. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We've entertained the possibility of Shifting responsibilities of police and shifting responsibilities onto local community watches and bolstering the Second Amendment to make it more personal responsibility as a possibility. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I wouldn't begin to know what the result of that would be. | ||
| It's just like, you know, I got to be honest. | ||
| I think there is a good opportunity for figuring out if there's a way to reassess how our police departments function and we can create something potentially better. | ||
| I don't know for sure though, and I can tell you this. | ||
| The reason why he's tweeting about this is that according to a poll, 90% of American people of color want more police. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| More, more, more, more. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I was not expecting that. | ||
| According to the Cato Institute, They say this. | ||
| Nine in ten black, white, Hispanic Americans all oppose reducing the number of police officers in their community. | ||
| Okay, I'm sorry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm sorry. | |
| I got the numbers wrong. | ||
| A third say they need more officers. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| 90% say we're good where we're at. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then a third of them say, nah, we actually need more. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| None of them say reduce? | ||
| None of- so I guess, what does that leave? | ||
| Like, less than 10%? | ||
| Yeah, holy cow. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| If 90% say, we're good where we are, they oppose reducing, that means you've got 10% that are in favor of reducing. | ||
| Holy cow. | ||
| The overwhelming majority is like, we're good. | ||
| We'll keep it where we're at. | ||
| And what happened to this guy? | ||
| When he tweeted this? | ||
| They came for him. | ||
| The 9%, the 10%. | ||
| The 9%. | ||
| The people reading. | ||
| And this is, dude, the Hidden Tribes More In Common Study. | ||
| I gotta pull this up so we can cite it every time. | ||
| Yeah, it's constant. | ||
| Progressive activists make up 8% of this country, according to YouGov data. | ||
| Wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
8%? | |
| That's it. | ||
| The conservative wing makes up 25%. | ||
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| The right wing of politically active people is 25% and the left wing of politically active people is 8%. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| But they control our institutions. | ||
| They have disproportionate power in media, and that's why you get this. | ||
| This dude, Zach, I guess is a journalist. | ||
| He said, talk to a number of people I respect about the framing of the original tweet, and I do feel like it was a mistake. | ||
| It was far too dismissive, and then I ironically complained about condescending replies. | ||
| We all send bad tweets sometimes. | ||
| This was one of mine. | ||
| Bend the knee, you spineless fool. | ||
| It's Twitter! | ||
| This is what's crazy. | ||
| Right now in the New York Times, right? | ||
| This is all looping together. | ||
| The New York Times, the Grey Lady, the paper of record, has fallen. | ||
| We've seen the assault on the Grey Lady to turn it to SJW insanity, and there's been some bad moments. | ||
| Now, that's it. | ||
| There was a revolt. | ||
| 160 staffers did a virtual walkout because Tom Cotton wrote an op-ed saying, send in the troops. | ||
| A position held by 58% of registered voters. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And sending in the National Guard by 71% of registered voters. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So it's not... So everyone's in favor. | ||
| Well, it's not all Americans. | ||
| Right. | ||
| A majority, it seems. | ||
| But of the people who are politically active, it would seem they're mostly in favor of this. | ||
| And we even have this story right here. | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| Right here. | ||
| A plurality of Democrats would support calling in the U.S. | ||
| military to aid police during protests, poll shows. | ||
| So now that we know that's true, you'd think these people would be like, perhaps we shouldn't get rid of the police because people actually like them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yet somehow, here is where we are, where this dude is apologizing for what he was correct about. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the craziness of the mob. | ||
| So check this out. | ||
| This guy Connor Fradersdorf said, there is an ascendant pressure on journalists to reify | ||
| positions that are held by a minority of the public and a super majority of journalists. | ||
| If it succeeds, it will not advance social justice. | ||
| It will make journalistic institutions that value social justice less influential. | ||
| Could you imagine what would happen if Joe Biden came out right now and says, | ||
| Black Lives Matter is very important to me, which is why I'm announcing | ||
| in my first 100 days, I will abolish all police departments. | ||
| What do you think would happen? | ||
| Trump would win? | ||
| Trump could go to sleep and just play Xbox. | ||
| Trump could put on a commercial and be like, thank you, Joe. | ||
| I'm going to play Xbox. | ||
| We've got the best games. | ||
| I've got the new Call of Duty and just vote November and I'll see you then. | ||
| Call of Duty, really? | ||
| Yeah, Call of Duty. | ||
| He goes golfing. | ||
| Xbox? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Xbox? | |
| I'm kidding. | ||
| If Joe Biden says this, or in any way gets close to this position, Donald Trump will be like, for my next campaign move over the next six months, I will be golfing. | ||
| I'll be putting my feet up on my desk. | ||
| I'm going to be golfing. | ||
| I'm going to hang out in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| I'm not going to do any work. | ||
| Vote for that guy if you want to, or vote for me. | ||
| Goodbye. | ||
| And then he wins 530 electoral votes. | ||
| How, man, the propaganda coming from this weird school of thought thinks they're winning? | ||
| They might. | ||
| So, James Lindsay, who I'm referencing now for like the fourth time today, well, it's because he's got these threads popping up on all of these issues that are prominent, and he's a smart dude. | ||
| He's a smart dude. | ||
| He said, basically what they do, they infiltrate an organization until they have around 15% of it. | ||
| Then they either manufacture or wait for some issue they can complain about and refuse to let it go until the company bends the knee. | ||
| And they hope to either destroy it or completely take it over. | ||
| If they destroy it, good, it's gone. | ||
| One of their opponents has been wiped out. | ||
| If they take it over, now they can wield its influence. | ||
| And then he said something like this, the New York Times will be propped up with non-profit money so that these activists can wear it like some kind of skin suit. | ||
| It's like, oh, he's right though. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| This is what scares me, man. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| A lot of people have said that this woke SJW stuff would never leave certain smaller communities and college campuses. | ||
| Now it's taking over the New York Times. | ||
| And it's been slowly doing it. | ||
| We gotta get out there and show people that having thick skin is important. | ||
| Look at the First Amendment. | ||
| It's like freedom of speech. | ||
| It's like, call me whatever. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| It's not even about that. | ||
| It's about political power. | ||
| They're communists. | ||
| Yeah, you're right. | ||
| I hate saying the communist word because it's kind of just like a weird cliche for leftists you hear all the time. | ||
| But the fringe activists that are pushing this stuff, they're literal communists. | ||
| They actually are revolutionary communists. | ||
| And they're looking to create their version of a communist utopia. | ||
| You know what really bothers me the most, the most offensive thing about them? | ||
| What? | ||
| Is when they tell me, Don't you like Star Trek, man? | ||
| We're trying to make a future like Star Trek! | ||
| No one had to work and they had free food and all that stuff. | ||
| And I'm like, oh, how dare you? | ||
| They had to work. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| They didn't. | ||
| Star Trek? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's post-scarcity in Star Trek. | ||
| Yes, Star Trek, they have replicators. | ||
| So people who joined the Federation did things by choice because they wanted to do things and explore and be better at what they do. | ||
| But yeah, replicators just made food. | ||
| So they just do whatever they want. | ||
| We don't have replicators, man. | ||
| We can't just do that. | ||
| So these people are nuts. | ||
| Ultimately, I think they just want to end all of the good things that we've created. | ||
| I don't know why. | ||
| Maybe it's like an equal and opposite reaction thing. | ||
| We've had it too good for too long, and now the darkness is bubbling up. | ||
| Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| Or maybe it's like, the light can't exist without the dark, you know? | ||
| And the light must defeat it. | ||
| Or maybe, sunset, sunrise. | ||
| Maybe the golden age we had of liberty and freedom is sunsetting, and it can't... It's a pendulum swing, it's a revolution, it can't change, you know? | ||
| I mean, it can't just stay what it is. | ||
| I refuse to believe that, no. | ||
| No way. | ||
| I don't think we can, you know, we can just... You know the saying, you know, hard times make strong men, strong men make good times. | ||
| I'll say the whole thing. | ||
| Good times make weak men, weak men make hard times. | ||
| Yeah, it's accurate. | ||
| That's the cycle. | ||
| Yeah, 100% I think. | ||
| So it's not so much that we won't come back, but that we're entering the dark times. | ||
| No, but that's also, how that doesn't make sense is because that's like a full cycle of everyone feeling the exact same way. | ||
| And that is not the case. | ||
| There's billions of us on this planet. | ||
| And we have people that are refusing to see people of color and segregate it and be like, yes, we are different. | ||
| It's like, no, no, no, we're all the same. | ||
| We aren't all weak. | ||
| Not all of us, you know, are men, you know, whatever, but it's about the human race. | ||
| You have it backwards. | ||
| What we actually, so the civic libertarianism and classical liberalism types are saying, we recognize that we're not all the same, but we must treat everyone equally under the law, which is the equal opportunity versus the equal outcome. | ||
| We know it's a class issue. | ||
| There's a lot of issues out there, but a lot of it is this class issue that we're stuck in, right? | ||
| So not all of us are going through hard times. | ||
| But here's the reality, man. | ||
| So people are in different stages of that quote. | ||
| So we gotta bring everyone together to be strong and be able to handle everything. | ||
| But also keep in mind, you know some stupid people, right? | ||
| Illogical, maybe. | ||
| Which, you know, not everyone... Well, I know some dumb people, okay? | ||
| Like, dumb. | ||
| Like, you'd be like... Like, low IQ, you mean? | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| Like, unable to actually function and do a job. | ||
| These people are unlikely to become super wealthy. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because they don't understand how to become super wealthy. | ||
| So you're saying there will always be a class of people that are dumb. | ||
| No. | ||
| I think some people are dumb. | ||
| Some people are smart. | ||
| Humans have variability within their development. | ||
| And I think also that there are just environmental factors we can't control, which will result in some people having certain abilities and some not. | ||
| I'm not going to complain. | ||
| The NBA is all a bunch of seven foot tall dudes. | ||
| I'm not seven feet tall. | ||
| I don't want to play in the NBA. | ||
| It's not my dream, I guess. | ||
| And if you really want to work hard for it, you can probably figure it out how to get there. | ||
| Not everybody can. | ||
| Not everybody can do every single job. | ||
| So, the fact is, these people believe that we're all the same, literally. | ||
| Men and women are the same, everyone's the same. | ||
| You know, there's this criti- what is it called, like a critical gender theory? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That the only reason women are weaker than men is because they're trained from a young age not to engage in the same behaviors. | ||
| But if that women did sports, they'd be just as strong, and that's not true. | ||
| No, that's not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So men on average will always have more muscle mass, and a female on average will always have less muscle mass and more fat, and it's for different reasons. | ||
| I suppose you can be one of these people that wants to manufacture some kind of equality, but it can never be. | ||
| It can never be. | ||
| Imagine if we invented something. | ||
| that turned, that guaranteed, genetic engineering, guaranteed everybody was the same hairless, olive-skinned, colored type person. | ||
| Men and women were of equal height and strength. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| Women still have the babies. | ||
| You know what that means? | ||
| They have to dedicate time and energy to creating and giving birth to that baby. | ||
| And that means that even if it's only like, you know, that several days or whatever in which they're going to the hospital, dealing with labor and giving birth, Several days where they're not working. | ||
| That will still confer an advantage to the males, who can spend that time investing and working. | ||
| Theoretically, you can pass a law then, where it's like, the man must be in the hospital with the woman at all times, and try and force humans to be the same. | ||
| We're not robots, though. | ||
| We're not the model, you know, A93 humanoid. | ||
| We're all individuals that develop with variability. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And because of that, there's gonna be class. | ||
| So what do we want to do? | ||
| We want to make sure that everybody has a chance. | ||
| Has the same chance as everybody else. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that if you choose, you can succeed. | ||
| Maybe you won't. | ||
| You're not going to beat Jeff Bezos, man. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| There's one. | ||
| There's how many billionaires, you know, soon to be trillionaires, like one or two. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Out of the billions, man, it's not going to be you, you know? | ||
| And it doesn't mean it's a bad thing. | ||
| It doesn't mean you're better or worse. | ||
| It just means this is how life is. | ||
| These people who are taking over the New York Times want to create a world where we're all gray blobs that are identical in every single way. | ||
| It is not possible. | ||
| True. | ||
| We're not. | ||
| We're all different. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| If you zoom out far enough, we look the same. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The more you zoom in, the more unique we become. | ||
| Well, mentally. | ||
| Physically, we're all the same. | ||
| I mean, we differ, but we all believe the same color. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| That's really what I'm trying to say. | ||
| We're all humans. | ||
| Right, we're all humans. | ||
| We all have the same base functions of what makes us work. | ||
| Brains, kidneys, hearts, livers. | ||
| And the variability in intelligence, so my understanding of current biology and psychology is that the variability in intelligence and everything is actually relatively low. | ||
| But don't you think that would change? | ||
| If we really I don't know the answers, but if we elevate everybody to a more of a base level, not, I'm not saying get rid of capitalism or, you know, I don't, you know, but if we bring it up so that, that, that baseline, the average is significantly higher, what's the average IQ? | ||
| 100. | ||
| 100 is the average IQ. | ||
| That's what's what. | ||
| So, yeah, right. | ||
| So say we eliminate it and give everyone, everyone has that chance, right? | ||
| So a hundred years go by. | ||
| Don't you think the average IQ of humanity is going to be significantly higher? | ||
| Well, so the way IQ works is it tracks the average. | ||
| So 100 is baseline. | ||
| So we do generally absorb more knowledge. | ||
| But 145 is genius. | ||
| Once you're past that, you're officially a genius. | ||
| Your brain works. | ||
| Relative to everybody else. | ||
| Functions. | ||
| I thought it is literally 145. | ||
| I don't think IQ is actually a really good measure of how you're going to. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I mean, it's an example. | ||
| I understand the point you're making. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I do not think you can create a world where everyone starts. | ||
| There's no way to create a world where the starting line is equal for every single person. | ||
| Well, I'm not even saying that it's going to be equal for everybody, you know, because families can, you know, travel their money down, whatever, any of the different examples there. | ||
| But if everyone has a chance, you know, if we get rid of the poor, you know, I think there's... I gotta believe that there's a way... A poor person today is wealthier than John Rockefeller was 100 years ago. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I mean, technically that's not true, but the point is... No, it's definitely not true. | ||
| No, but what I mean is, the average person is considered extreme poverty by today's standards for the entire planet. | ||
| Like, the poor people in this country have air conditioning. | ||
| Have refrigerators. | ||
| Everyone's got flat screen TV and a cell phone. | ||
| You can buy a cell phone for 20 bucks. | ||
| Get a data plan. | ||
| Unlimited everything. | ||
| 20 bucks on T-Mobile. | ||
| That is wealth. | ||
| That means somebody, even in impoverished areas, in the middle of nowhere, can look up how to farm. | ||
| So poverty will always exist because poverty is relative. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| So you're always going to have, look, I work every single day and I only have two half days off where I only work a full shift in the morning. | ||
| So I work a full shift, then we do this show at night. | ||
| I don't have to. | ||
| And other people choose not to. | ||
| Because of that, I'm better off than they are. | ||
| Because of that, my kids will have advantages. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Should we take away all of that extra money I've made by my choice? | ||
| If you do that, then why would I bother doing this show? | ||
| Well, I think even, like, say, you know, Trump is bringing jobs back here. | ||
| The factories are all returning. | ||
| People are going to lose their, you know, big, huge profits. | ||
| Because they're gonna have to pay minimum minimum wage to their employees people are gonna get much better jobs | ||
| There's gonna be a lot more jobs available if that's the case | ||
| So then all of a sudden all these factories that we've lost now people can actually work | ||
| So there's jobs everywhere all across the country. Yep, so it's like that | ||
| So it's like I want the people who are poor to have an opportunity to be able to have those jobs. Yeah exactly | ||
| Like I said, I don't have the answer, but I want to find the answer. | ||
| I want to move towards the answer instead of just, everyone's just throwing insults at each other, blaming, and it's this blame game. | ||
| No one wants to actually have a conversation about it, where to move forward. | ||
| It's really aggravating me. | ||
| And you try and talk to them and they just get mad at you because they're looking for the other. | ||
| They're like, no, no, no, I don't want to figure this out. | ||
| I just want to scream my ideology at you until you agree with me. | ||
| If we bring back all these jobs to United States and reopen these factories, two things are going to happen. | ||
| People in China are going to lose jobs because those are the jobs they used to have. | ||
| And now they're going to become poorer. | ||
| So you can say I'm in favor of helping America first, and I get it. | ||
| Some people argue it's better off helping these foreign countries to lift everybody up, and that means American sacrifice. | ||
| I get the idea. | ||
| The other thing that'll happen is the guy who started that factory to bring those jobs back will become rich, and you will always have the top tier and the bottom. | ||
| The communists want to get rid of all that, but they don't understand why that doesn't work. | ||
| When they gave the farms away in Zimbabwe, you know what happened? | ||
| What? | ||
| Everybody starved. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because no one knew how to farm. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And in China and in Russia, you know what they did? | ||
| They said, these people who own the farms are the bourgeoisie. | ||
| They weren't. | ||
| No, they called them something else. | ||
| I can't remember what it was. | ||
| They were like the wealthy peasants. | ||
| So they got rid of them and then gave the farms to the actual farmers. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Or to the workers. | ||
| The workers are not a farm. | ||
| Same thing. | ||
| Everybody starves. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So it's... Well, that's another thing we don't do anymore as humans. | ||
| Like, you know, back in the day, if your dad was a blacksmith, you were a blacksmith. | ||
| Your son was a blacksmith. | ||
| Your grandson's a blacksmith. | ||
| That's why your name was Smith. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Or you could be like John. | ||
| We don't do that anymore. | ||
| We were raised, I remember being a kid, like, you could do anything you want. | ||
| I was like, I want to be in the Air Force. | ||
| And they're like, you're colorblind. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| And I was like, but I want to be an astronaut. | ||
| I want to fly in space. | ||
| They're like, sorry. | ||
| No. | ||
| And I was just like, well, all right. | ||
| There goes that. | ||
| But most people are taught you can do anything you want, and people believe it. | ||
| They're like, I can do anything I want. | ||
| I don't want to work for it, but I can do whatever I want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| It's like, you gotta work for it. | ||
| So here's what you do. | ||
| When you were told that you couldn't be an astronaut, then you go to school for biology to find a cure for colorblindness. | ||
| Something that you could... Good point. | ||
| A treatment that would repair the... So, my understanding of colorblindness is, like, the cones are pressing against each other. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So it makes it hard to differentiate. | ||
| So, like, humans are trichromats. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We have three cones and rods or whatever. | ||
| I don't know a whole lot about it, so I'm probably, you know, getting it way wrong for those that do. | ||
| But the general idea is that... I read something where it said the cones are kind of, like, pushed together. | ||
| So it decreases your ability to differentiate between certain wavelengths. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe there's a treatment that can be done via surgery or something that, you know, all of a sudden, boom, there it is. | ||
| It separates. | ||
| And then you, with a disadvantage, work towards curing it for everyone else. | ||
| People have done this. | ||
| There have been a lot of stories of people who were told, because of this, you can't do that. | ||
| And then they went to school to fix it. | ||
| And that's their contribution. | ||
| But the reality is, yeah, man, but you couldn't be in the NBA either. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| I'm actually quite good at basketball. | ||
| But you can't be in the NBA, dude. | ||
| That's actually a bad example. | ||
| I'm pretty good at basketball. | ||
| Because you could train. | ||
| I probably couldn't be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| Honestly, if I trained, I'm not saying I'm NBA worthy, but I'm pretty good at basketball. | ||
| I like playing basketball. | ||
| I grew up in Chicago. | ||
| I was like a teenager watching Michael Jordan crush it in my town. | ||
| We owned basketball in the 90s. | ||
| It was awesome. | ||
| I was a big basketball fan. | ||
| To be fair, the NBA is something you can dedicate your entire life to, to get fully built to be in it regardless. | ||
| But let's say you were born with one leg. | ||
| It's like, what are we gonna do? | ||
| Are we gonna change the rules and be like, you gotta allow it? | ||
| No, it doesn't make sense. | ||
| It wouldn't work. | ||
| And that's what a lot of these weird, you know, people on the left think that's going to happen. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They don't understand that we are not created as perfect androids that are built to spec. | ||
| To do anything we want. | ||
| Yeah, they call it the blank slate theory. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| All humans are the same and they're programmed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is not true. | |
| No, it is not true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not at all. | |
| No, not true. | ||
| Did you know that humans raise their arms instinctively when they succeed? | ||
| No, I didn't know that. | ||
| That's kind of cool. | ||
| You know when people win something, they'll go, yeah! | ||
| And they'll throw their arms in the air? | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| They know this is inherent human behavior that's not taught. | ||
| Because people who've never... blind people still do it. | ||
| People blind from birth, like kids, will do the same thing. | ||
| So they've never seen it. | ||
| They've never seen it, but they'll do it. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| That's simple. | ||
| Right, so they can track things that are inherent to human behavior. | ||
| And it's obvious, man. | ||
| How come all the cats do the same things? | ||
| It's in their genes. | ||
| It's in their DNA. | ||
|
unidentified
|
be cats to scratch things in their gene a scratch in their DNA. | |
| Yeah. It's a it's I think I think look there's a mix of environment | ||
| and nature and nurture as a mix of nature and nurture. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think my understanding of a lot of these | ||
| studies which is not an expert. | ||
| I'm not a biologist or evolutionary psychologist is that | ||
| the the variance in nature can be easily overcome by nurture. | ||
| Meaning, you can take any person and nurture them to be successful, but genetics do play a role in everything about us, including intelligence. | ||
| And a lot of people don't want to talk about it because it's considered controversial or whatever. | ||
| But Sam Harris, are you familiar with Sam Harris? | ||
| No. | ||
| Was Sam Harris a neuroscientist or whatever? | ||
| Yeah, all I know is that he's an atheist. | ||
| I don't know what his specialty is. | ||
| He's a very, very famous podcaster. | ||
| He's the expert. | ||
| And he had some conversation where he very simply said, if we know that genetics play a role in our development, I think he did, I want to make sure I'm not misquoting him, but my understanding of his argument was, because he did it with like Ezra Klein of Vox or something, He said something like, if we know that Gen X plays a role in everything about how we're developing, why wouldn't it play a role in our cognitive capabilities? | ||
| That doesn't mean that there are certain people who are too dumb to function. | ||
| It just means that it plays a role. | ||
| It's not, you know, it shouldn't be controversial. | ||
| And my understanding of it is some people are going to be smarter, some people are going to be stupider. | ||
| It's not necessarily about race, it's about certain clusters of genetic happenstance that are either smarter or not, and sometimes it is in one area and not another area. | ||
| But ultimately, my understanding of it is that it can be overcome by nature. | ||
| And I think that's true. | ||
| I think people can make choices and choose to be better, choose to be great, choose to better themselves, and they can choose not to. | ||
| It's about free will, you know? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But yeah, long story short, the people that are taking over these organizations, the people who want to abolish the police, there's no rhyme or reason to what they're saying. | ||
| So we'll wrap up these thoughts and jump over to Super Chats. | ||
| When it comes to abolishing the police, that should be evidence to everybody that... I'm sorry, man. | ||
| We're done here. | ||
| We're done. | ||
| Every time I've said, hey, that idea is stupid. | ||
| The Democrats are adopting a dumb idea. | ||
| And people have been like, well, I kind of understand what they're saying with this one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Tell me what they mean by this. | ||
| Can anybody? | ||
| I don't want to get rid of the police. | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| We can entertain the conversation of community policing and stuff, but to actually campaign and abolish the police. | ||
| I laughed so hard when I heard they wanted to disband the police in Minneapolis. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| So what do you do? | ||
| You get mugged. | ||
| You're like, I guess I'll just die. | ||
| You're not going to call, you know, you're in your house and someone's breaking in. | ||
| You're like, well, how far did I make it? | ||
| 34 years? | ||
| It's been fun. | ||
| Well, 2A. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And that's, and that's the counter. | ||
| That's, that's, that's, that's like, okay, you know what? | ||
| This normally wouldn't work, but we shouldn't be relying on police for everything anyway. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We should be like, come in my house. | ||
| And like that, uh, was it Polk County Sheriff? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I'll blow you out the door. | ||
| And he's telling his residents, that's what I'm suggesting to them to blow you out the door. | ||
| And it's like, Wow. | ||
| That's a deterrent in itself. | ||
| It's crazy that it's a scaling problem, these mass shootings, because we've always had them. | ||
| You know, I guess per capita you can see differences, but because we have so many people and mass media... Dude, when I went to Glenn Beck's studio last year, he's got all these really, really old newspapers on the studio walls in his building. | ||
| And one of them, I was reading a story from like 1850 or whatever, and it was a story about a guy at a bar, a saloon, and some guy walked out, smoking a cigarette, pulled out his flintlock pistol, put it in the chest of the guy, and shot him. | ||
| For no reason! | ||
| I guess that's an argument for, you know, I actually don't know what year it was, it was a long time ago and it was like a flintlock pistol or some ridiculous nonsense. | ||
| And I don't know, maybe it wasn't a flintlock pistol, I don't know. | ||
| But it was like, he shot him in the chest. | ||
| And it was like, these things have happened. | ||
| The Wild West, man. | ||
| We watch movies about the guy walking in and being like, The sheriff can't stop me! | ||
| I'll put a bullet in anyone who stands in my way! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You! | |
| And then they have a showdown. | ||
| Dude, dueling used to be legal, too, you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| I was thinking about dueling. | ||
| I was thinking, like, maybe it should be legal, you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Why not? | ||
| Two people, mutual combat? | ||
| You know that mutual combat's legal in a lot of places, right? | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, like if you tell someone to take it outside and they agree, they don't arrest anybody. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Yeah, it's mutual combat. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| Like, you guys agreed to fight. | ||
| Not every jurisdiction has this, but some states are like... Seriously? | ||
| But what are they gonna do? | ||
| If two people are like, don't you do this, I'll hit you, and it's like, oh yeah, buddy, you can't do it, I'll see you outside, and they go outside together. | ||
| Two grown consenting adults, man. | ||
| Two grown consenting adults went outside and punched each other. | ||
| Who do you arrest? | ||
| Both of them? | ||
| Some places probably would. | ||
| But I don't know, man. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's a libertarian concept challenge of dueling. | ||
| If two grown consenting adults say, I want to duel to the death, it's like... There would need to be, like, dueling pits. | ||
| So that they don't... stray bullets don't go flying, killing random innocent people. | ||
| Dueling arenas? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| I mean... That's gonna be like a new sport. | ||
| Can you believe they used to do that? | ||
| Like, it seemed like life was so... What's the opposite of precious? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| People were very cavalier about their lives. | ||
| Yeah, they were like, well, I'm gonna die anyway, might as well have a duel now at the age of 19. | ||
| At least I won't die when I'm 35 of some kind of illness. | ||
| Yeah, that's Billy the Kid. | ||
| That's the Family Guy joke, where it's like, they did a flashback episode where it was like the 1700s, or something, and Peter, like, stubbed his toe, and like, got a slight cut, and he goes, well, I have a small cut, I'm gonna die of the infection, so... | ||
| Like, that's it. | ||
| I had a good run. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| He's like, well, I'm 19 years old and I just got an infection. | ||
| Now I'm going to die. | ||
| That's how it used to be. | ||
| Yeah, that's crazy. | ||
| And it's not like that anymore. | ||
| No, it is not. | ||
| We're very lucky. | ||
| We are in a time of like, we're all blessed that we don't think about it. | ||
| You know, what we do have. | ||
| I'd be willing to bet if you went back in time and grabbed Mr. George Washington and brought him back here and you were like, did you know that dueling is illegal? | ||
| He'd be like, what? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Yeah, you know and and and he like big they owned people back then | ||
| Yeah, like there's a lot of things we got rid of that would shock them that we can't do today | ||
| So for so so for the better, I don't but the thing about dueling though is consenting adults | ||
| Like shouldn't consenting adults be allowed to do what they want with each other. Yeah. Yeah is your body yours? | ||
| It's crazy. You know Trump signed the right to try bill. | ||
| You know, that is you could try Medicine that's not approved yet. Yeah, if you're dying if | ||
| you're yeah, if you're dying and you have no other choice Like why was that illegal in the first place? | ||
| Yeah, that's legit. | ||
| If I was dying of some weird rare disease and they were like, well, we have this experimental drug that has worked, but it's not approved yet. | ||
| And it's like, I want it. | ||
| If I was dying and they were like, we're going to try this therapy and it failed. | ||
| We're going to try this next extreme therapy. | ||
| It failed. | ||
| Well, we got this experimental therapy and it failed. | ||
| I'd be like, what haven't we tried? | ||
| Uh, okay. | ||
| Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to die in 20 minutes. | ||
| Give me the bleach. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'll take literally anything with a 0.000001% chance of saving my life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Whatever it is. | ||
| You could help someone else too. | ||
| Yeah, so Trump talked about, you know, is there a way we can, you know, put some, what did he say? | ||
| Disinfectant under the skin? | ||
| Yeah, some kind of disinfectant under skin. | ||
| People ran with it. | ||
| And everyone went nuts and got angry at him. | ||
| And I think it was a silly comment, but it is, they do have treatments where they take UV lights and put it down into your lungs and stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And H2O2 hydroperoxide, you could argue, is a disinfectant under the skin. | ||
| But the point I'm making is, if I had some kind of like contagion, and everything failed, bro, you're not gonna stop me from trying something. | ||
| If you're like, you're gonna die right now, there's nothing you can do about it. | ||
| We have no treatments. | ||
| I'll be like... | ||
| All right, what should we try? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Bleach kills these things, right? | ||
| You got any ideas, Doc? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| I'm a guinea pig. | ||
| Try it on me. | ||
| I'll take whatever. | ||
| You got crystals? | ||
| I'll take crystals, man. | ||
| Take the healing crystals. | ||
| Bring in the crystal lady. | ||
| Have her rub crystals and acupuncture. | ||
| We'll just go for it. | ||
| I'm gonna die. | ||
| Sound therapy? | ||
| Whatever, man. | ||
| Ancient Egyptian sound vibration? | ||
| Do it all at the same time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Yep. | ||
| Bring me into a zero-g plane, free-falling, with acupuncture, crystals, those suction cup lamps all over my body. | ||
| All at the same time. | ||
| And I'll be on a ketogenic diet while I'm doing it. | ||
| A vegan ketogenic diet. | ||
| Just do everything. | ||
| It's not possible, but yeah. | ||
| But no, but it's crazy that we have laws saying, like, you can't do that with your own body. | ||
| Yeah, I don't get that. | ||
| It's my body. | ||
| Well, hey man, Trump signed that bill. | ||
| That's a good thing. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So how about this? | ||
| How about we jump over to these super chats? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What up? | |
| Woo! | ||
| And start talking to the people. | ||

| Have you smashed it? | ||
| I'm waiting. | ||
| I don't hear anything. | ||
| I don't think we have the cable set up for us to hear the chat. | ||
| No, no, no, for the music. | ||
| No, it's, isn't it? | ||
| No, not set up. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||

| So, right, so then I did the, yeah, I had a really bad sore throat. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And I'm like, nah, not this week, man. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| But we're gonna read Super Chats for now. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| Curtis C. says, Adam should go with Tim to the FFL and get himself a lower receiver and build his own. | ||
| Start with a lower. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| I guess, what is that called, a ghost gun? | ||
| You can like make- When you build it all yourself. | ||
| You can legally make your own gun. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I have seen it. | ||
| I've read into it a little bit. | ||
| We were talking about it yesterday. | ||
| invading India. I've been hearing murmurs about it, but haven't looked too deeply into it. | ||
| I have seen it, I've read into it a little bit. We were talking about it yesterday. | ||
| I was trying to, like, maybe it would be a subject. Yes, not... | ||
| I mean, it seems like they're testing the parameters. | ||
| They're pushing. | ||
| And no one's stopping them. | ||
| I mean, India's like, uh, hello? | ||
| Hello? | ||
| They're doing this. | ||
| Did someone just say it? | ||
| I see it right now. | ||
| People are saying UFO. | ||
| Yeah, there we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Spin the UFO. | |
| I moved it forward a little bit so everyone could see it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Spin it! | |
| I'm going to spin it like crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh no, it's there. | |
| It's good. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Don't spin it too crazy now. | ||
| Oh, it's bouncing. | ||
| Oh, I'm scared! | ||
| No way! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've never seen it do that. | |
| That's when you're pushing it. | ||
| Dude, you just pushed it to the limit. | ||
| It's like about to fly away. | ||
| It's going to fall off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, it's good. | |
| Oh, we're good. | ||
| Oh, my goodness. | ||
| It's calming down. | ||
| I pushed it to the limit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You did, dude. | |
| Let's read some more of these. | ||
| That's exciting, though. | ||
| All right. | ||
| The Grizzly says, Hi Tim! | ||
| Oh, did it just erase those? | ||
| Is there any other way I can contact you guys besides Twitter? | ||
| I don't want to use it if I don't have to. | ||
| Hope you three have a nice night. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You know, honestly, it really is the easiest way to get in touch with the show by tweeting at Adam Krigler. | ||
| Hit me up. | ||
| So I get it. | ||
| You know, I don't know if you can't really do Instagram. | ||
| Twitter really I mean, I can. | ||
| I was perusing it yesterday when we were kind of like, what are we going to talk about? | ||
| You know, a lot of people are hitting me up on Instagram. | ||
| I didn't even really notice because I usually just open Instagram, post something, check it out a little bit. | ||
| We can set up an email for you or something if you want people to email you. | ||
| Or just the show in general, because Lydia can also have that. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds good. | ||
| We'll set up a Timcast IRL email address for everybody. | ||
| We'll get that done for Monday. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds good. | ||
| Boom, there it is. | ||
| So also don't forget to follow me at Timcast on Instagram and Twitter. | ||
| And you can also follow at sourpatchlids, L-Y-D-S, because she posts spicy memes. | ||
| I do, I do. | ||
| Spicy memes. | ||
| Jean McLeod says, love sharing your videos on a Facebook group and watch the daft British for stupid lefties try and argue against you. | ||
| Can't wait to get my Harumph shirt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| I have just ordered some Harumph skateboards. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| I don't know how good they'll be. | ||
| We're gonna test them out. | ||
| Hold on, let me, I'm gonna go grab it and show off this. | ||
| Oh yeah, Adam's got his skateboard too. | ||
| Oh, this is so cool. | ||
| So there's gonna be some Harumph I Say skateboards, same graphic and everything, and it says Timcast underneath. | ||
| I'm gonna try it out, see if they're good, and if they're good, then we're gonna have some skateboards. | ||
| You guys, this is so cool. | ||
| Alright, so this is dope. | ||
| Someone just did this for me. | ||
| If you guys can see it. | ||
| That is some quality work right there. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| That's cool, Griff. | ||
| Thank you so much for this. | ||
| This is dope. | ||
| I'm never gonna skate this. | ||
| This will be the backdrop behind me when I officially start Atomcast. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
| Lil Alien. | ||
| Really appreciate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sweet. | |
| Word. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| A.H. | ||
| Glassman says, I don't think either, really. | ||
| Most people, I don't think, really pay attention too much to these very specific events, so I don't think it'll register that much. | ||
| elections in two given sharpens reputation will this event further | ||
| polarized the US or will the organizers unify us I don't think I don't think | ||
| either really most people I don't think really pay attention too much to these | ||
| very specific events so I don't I don't think it'll it'll register that much | ||
| it's a good point kak azim and deus says Tim cast IRL YouTube is shadow banning | ||
| or moving comments Example, in the era of SJEs, social justice extremists, is it possible to have a discussion about the real issues in the black community? | ||
| So, YouTube automatically censors ridiculous amounts of comments. | ||
| We can't do anything about it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They gave me a notification recently and they were like, a new feature! | ||
| We automatically remove comments. | ||
| I was like, oh, great. | ||
| And considering we get 20, 30,000 comments a day or more, probably some ridiculous number, There's no way to go through all of them and try and, like, figure out what was removed and why it was removed. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| YouTube just censors, man. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| No Control says, Consider this. | ||
| 250,000 die each year from medical malpractice if the doctors aren't sent to jail but are required to have insurance. | ||
| Same for cops. | ||
| We did talk about that the other day. | ||
| Yeah, we talked about it. | ||
| Yeah, but some people argued against it, saying cops wouldn't do it. | ||
| I don't know what the answer is. | ||
| Maybe it's cheaper insurance. | ||
| That'd be so cool, though. | ||
| says Brian Stalter has such a far back hairline that I literally can't see it | ||
| past the horizon that is his 12 head. Well people don't like that guy I guess. | ||
| Luke Walter says Tim Pool for US Secretary of Media 2020. | ||
| Yes. I do not want to be involved in government in any capacity. Those | ||
| are the people that we need in government though. If the men in black showed up at my | ||
| house knocking on my door and they said Mr. Pool we need you I'd be like give me | ||
| a minute let me get my shoes I'd run out the back door I'd be gone. I'd be | ||
| hiding in the woods and be like no way. | ||
| But the bug out van is in the front. No I'm just kidding. | ||
| It's like run around the block and wait till they leave. | ||
| What movie was it? | ||
| 2012, I think, where they go to the woman's house and they're like, Dr. Smith or whatever, we need you. | ||
| And she goes, for what? | ||
| Like, come with us now. | ||
| And she's like, I can't believe they take her because he's a scientist. | ||
| I'd be like, no problem. | ||
| Let me put my shoes on. | ||
| Gone. | ||
| But then I guess, I guess the world ended and she lived. | ||
| So that'd probably be stupid of me. | ||
| Cause maybe they're like the world's ending and we want to save your life. | ||
| And I'm like, no! | ||
| And I'd run away. | ||
| I'm kidding. | ||
| I'm kidding. | ||
| I just don't want to be involved in government stuff. | ||
| I feel ya. | ||
| David Caballero says, will we ever see Lydia cast IRL? | ||
| Well, there's an Adam cast. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A Lydia cast? | ||
| This is my Lydia cast. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| I'm going to start trying to speed things up because admittedly we have, unfortunately, too many superchats. | ||
| DarkRenji says, what would you think about taking away a bit of power from the police? | ||
| If you were to see an officer being severely aggressive during an arrest, you can intervene without fear of arrest or retaliation. | ||
| The challenge is, you know, I'm not sure there's a real solution because if everyone said that cop was, you know, look, look, I'll put it this way. | ||
| If you saw somebody, Running down the street screaming, help me please. | ||
| And the person chasing them was a cop. | ||
| Right now you could do nothing. | ||
| You don't know why they're running, who's doing what. | ||
| Good point. | ||
| So imagine you see two people running, and they're in plain, regular clothing, and one guy goes, stop that person, stop that person! | ||
| What if the person chasing them is a criminal? | ||
| The mugger? | ||
| Right. | ||
| So there's techniques that con artists use, where like, one really notorious thing is what you do is, you take a wallet, with an ID in it, and no money, what they do is they'll wait for someone to take money out of an ATM, people often leave their receipts, you know exactly how much they took, and then you reverse pickpocket them. | ||
| So now they have your wallet with your ID in it and you call the police and say that person pickpocketed me and the cops do the robbing for you. | ||
| The reason I bring that up is just they exploit these circumstances. | ||
| So I don't know if there's a real solution to deal with this other than the reason why we don't allow people to not tackle cops is because what if the cop has just stopped a serial killer and you're like, he's abusing this poor man! | ||
| You knock him out and the serial killer gets up and it's the Joker and he's like, thanks buddy! | ||
| And then he pulls out a bomb and some ridiculous nonsense. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| So you can only really just trust, I guess? | ||
| I don't think that's a good enough answer either. | ||
| That's why I just don't think there's a really good answer for this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Professor Romandev says, Hey Tim, did you go bald for BLM? | ||
| No, I went bald of my own volition. | ||
| No, actually not of my own volition. | ||
| It just happened. | ||
| Zachary Braylor, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Snafu says, I don't care about diversity of any company as long as they do the right thing. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Jillian Boardman says, here's some slush fund money from a white chick. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| That means you're not racist, by the way, because I'm a person of color. | ||
| Ooh, nice. | ||
| Jorge Crespo says, Tim Pool matters. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| J-Mac says, whoa, I don't do racism. | ||
| I'm half white, so I'm only gonna give half money and half guilt. | ||
|
unidentified

Okay. | |
| Fight the power. | ||
| Thank you, thank you. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| Half thank you. | ||
| Jay says, I donated Timcast, thus I'm not racist. | ||
| That proves it. | ||
| Yeah, see, it works. | ||
| Proves it. | ||
| David S. says, for the 1 4th Korean, I'm actually also 5% Japanese, by the way. | ||
| So 1, what is that, 1 5th? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And 1 20th? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Mr. Scratch says, Money Gibbs'd, can I have my not racist card? | ||
| No, but you can know deep down inside your heart that you're not racist. | ||
| Conservative Aspie says, I hate the mainstream media. | ||
| Watching them blatantly put Trump out of context today boiled my blood. | ||
| Today? | ||
| Every day. | ||
| Every day. | ||
| Every single day. | ||
| Any chance they get. | ||
| Did you see what happened? | ||
| What happened? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I don't think so. | |
| He said something like, you know, about making great strides and fighting for accountability. | ||
| George Floyd must be looking down. | ||
| You know, it's a really great day. | ||
| And the media, instead of honestly tweeting out what Trump said, they lied and said, Trump Trump said that George Floyd is looking down happy about the jobs reports. | ||
| It's like, wait, that's what they said. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And I'm like, what? | ||
| Trump was talking about the protests and talking about the tragedy of George Floyd and the accountability that's now being held on them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's like, and he was like, and he would look down saying, it's a good day that these things are happening. | ||
| And they changed it and lied about what he was saying. | ||
| These people are nasty, dude. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| And people fall for it. | ||
| That's why we're doomed. | ||
| Only we're allowed to go on the roof. | ||
| Are you setting up your roof for your new firearm? | ||
| You know it. | ||
| And no cultural appropriation. | ||
| Only we are allowed to go on the roof. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| I want to go on the roof. | ||
| Nope, nope. | ||
| That's cultural appropriation. | ||
| That makes you a racist. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Tree of Liberty says, I promised I are a no racist. | ||
| Chris Moore, thanks for joining. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Samuel Farmer says, I think there has been too much serious talk lately, so to mix in | ||
| a little silly is Lyd Single, and if so, I ship her and Tim. | ||
| Let the awkwardness commence. | ||
| That is unfortunately not a thing. | ||
| Mr. Beard says, I just picked up my first shotgun today. | ||
| Background took three days because of it being backed up from so many purchases, or I would have been able to pick up same day. | ||
| Wyoming gun laws are great for second day. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Stacey says, it is behavioral sync. | ||
| Bark Ivy, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Graf Von Tirol says, I see an article stating that Minneapolis is bound to have a severe food desert problem, and assuming they're serious about dismantling the police, it'll keep that way. | ||
| No taxpayer funds for Minnesota. | ||
| David Jones says, I'm a broken record, but St. | ||
| Charles, Missouri is ideal for you. | ||
| It's close to St. | ||
| Louis, great tax code, small town scenery, and welcoming to creative people. | ||
| Maplewood and STL County is another option. | ||
| Florbo Adjacent says, I swear I'm not racist. | ||
| Can I get finger pistols from our wonderfully diverse cast? | ||
| Finger pistols? | ||

|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, there you go. | ||
| What's today, Friday? | ||
| What happens tomorrow? | ||
| Gordo Fabulous says, things may seem scary now, but notice how we went from | ||
| numerous fires and smashed windows to virtually none in two days. Trump's got this. | ||
| What's today, Friday? | ||
| What happens tomorrow? | ||
| I heard a million people or something were marching to D.C. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, it depends on who it is. | ||
| You know, it's like, there's a lot of people out there that have every right to protest. | ||
| And it's like, OK. | ||
| It's the Antifa people who are going to sneak into the middle and throw rocks. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Then the police react. | ||
| And then they say, oh, no. | ||
| I mean, we're seeing videos of those, the actual protesters tackling those people. | ||
| Like, get out of here. | ||
| You're ruining this for us. | ||
| You're trying to hijack our message. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But if you're in a crowd of a thousand people, What they do is they go to the middle, they duck, and they start throwing things. | ||
| So no one can see it. | ||
| And then the police see rocks being thrown at them, and then immediately start pushing on all the protesters. | ||
| And then because you've got 99% regular people, they're like, help, help, I'm being repressed! | ||
| The police are attacking for no reason! | ||
| Yup, that's what they do. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Repression. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| David Knives Jr. | ||
| That notification was worth a 10-spot, fam. | ||
| I'm cracking up. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Xiao Zhang says, we're evolving. | ||
| Buy backwards. | ||
| SigKill says, thank you Tim, I've always wanted to give money to wash my sins of racism away. | ||
| I'm glad so many people heeded my message. | ||
| For those that have just tuned in, the opening title card was a joke. | ||
| There's a bunch of Instagram posts from companies saying like, here's the percentage of racists at our companies. | ||
| And so I jokingly, it was actually, it's Lauren Chen, you may know her. | ||
| She has a YouTube channel. | ||
| She made a joke on Twitter saying, you know, we're minority minorities that give us money, otherwise you're racist. | ||
| So I made a title card that says, TimCast is a minority owned company. | ||
| Give Gibbs money or you're racist. | ||
| And that was the joke. | ||
| And then people started jokingly giving money. | ||
| So I guess it worked. | ||
| We're cashing out on this one. | ||
| They actually were giving money. | ||
| I know. | ||
| So it wasn't really a joke. | ||
| That part. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But it works. | |
| Now, think about it this way. | ||
| If your friends ever ask you, if they say something to you like, what have you ever done for marginalized communities? | ||
| Say, I actually donate to minority-owned companies, mind you. | ||
| I have directly supported minority-owned companies. | ||
| What have you done? | ||
| And they're gonna be like, I doubt they've done that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Isn't it stupid? | ||
| It's like loopholes to virtue signal to make it seem like you're a better person than you really are. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I can't stand it. | ||
| I gave Tim Poole a tenner to make a joke and now I can walk around bragging to all the SJWs. | ||
| I'm better than you. | ||
| I gave Tim $10. | ||
| You're so privileged. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| It's like, you know what? | ||
| I want everyone to be privileged. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the, that's really what it is. | ||
| If you don't feel like you are, I want you to be. | ||
| There was, there was some funny post where it was like, uh, this, this woman was wearing a, uh, what was it? | ||
| Uh, what is it called? | ||
| The Chinese dress? | ||
| Mono? | ||
| No, that's Japanese. | ||
| Oh, I don't know. | ||
| She was wearing the Jap, the Chinese dress or whatever. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And for prom, she founded a thrift store. | ||
| They called it cultural appropriation. | ||
| Like a geisha dress or something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| I think that's what it was. | ||
| It's called a gi, uh, um, They're all gonna mention it. | ||
| They know what it's called. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And she got slammed for it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then someone made a comment about, like, no one's allowed to do this because unless a person, you know, a Chinese person specifically tells you, you can. | ||
| And then some random Chinese guy tweeted, I hereby give everyone permission to do it. | ||
| It's like, checkmate! | ||
| And didn't they go and ask people in China? | ||
| They're like, hey, does this offend you? | ||
| Everyone's like, oh, that's amazing. | ||
| She's wearing it properly and wonderful. | ||
| No one was upset. | ||
| No one got offended. | ||
| These people are so awful. | ||
| We can't have fun, you know what I mean? | ||
| It's like, listen, I want you to partake in my culture. | ||
| Is it qipao? | ||
| No, not qipao. | ||
| Oh, people are suggesting that. | ||
| It's not keep, uh... | ||
| Chien-gasm? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh. | |
| Chien-sen? | ||
| Chi-pow. Chi-pow, yes. | ||
| Chi-pow? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Oh, I have no idea how to pronounce it. | ||
| Listen, listen, listen. | ||
| See, I'm not Asian at all, so I have no idea how to pronounce it correctly. | ||
| But you clearly do. | ||
| If you want to partake in my culture and eat bulgogi and bring your guns onto your rooftops of your businesses to defend it against rioters, you have my permission. | ||
| You know, I worked at a Korean barbecue in New York for a while. | ||
| Killer food. | ||
| Really good food. | ||
| Oh, I used to have Korean food when I was growing up. | ||
| Wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yup. | |
| That stuff is good. | ||
| Yeah, I remember the first time I went to an actual Korean restaurant, and I'm like, let me see the bulgogi. | ||
| Let me see what you got. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I'm like, you think you're gonna be better than my mom? | ||
| If the bulgogi's good, it's a good shop. | ||
| Dude, I love that stuff. | ||
| I'm not a beef eater. | ||
| I used to, I used to, yeah. | ||
| It is so good. | ||
| Korean barbecue's amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it is. | |
| Alright, let's see where we're at. | ||
| Conservative Aspie, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
| The Rising Refugee says we've recovered 2.5 million jobs last month. | ||
| 10.5 more than we expected, as an $8 million loss was expected. | ||
| Highest job growth since 1939. | ||
| Also check out Jocko Willink's recent Insta video. | ||
| It's words people need. | ||
| Willink. | ||
| Willink? | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| Bring the jobs back. | ||
| Willink! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| I don't agree with the welfare thing. | ||
| I think welfare is fine short term to alleviate certain issues. | ||
| up the political trigonometry, it makes politics easier to understand. | ||
| Also, I believe welfare is the greatest indicator for failure for individuals or groups. | ||
| I don't agree with the welfare thing. | ||
| I think welfare is fine short term to alleviate certain issues. | ||
| The problem is people get addicted to it and then you end up with a dependent class. | ||
| So I actually, when I was younger, received unemployment benefits. | ||
| Saved my life. | ||
| I would have been homeless. | ||
| And so I lost my job. | ||
| It was a huge issue. | ||
| I ended up suing this company. | ||
| But in the meantime, I had unemployment checks coming in that were trash, by the way. | ||
| I was a couple hundred bucks a month, but I paid my rent. | ||
| You know, I was sleeping on the floor at some house and I'm like, it beats being homeless. | ||
| And I wasn't looking for a handout. | ||
| It was like, I paid taxes into this man for this reason. | ||
| And now because of that, it afforded me the opportunity to keep working instead of falling into homelessness and then complete disrepair. | ||
| The problem is some people get addicted and they just never recover from it. | ||
| We have to fix these systems. | ||
| Or never want to recover from it either. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It's too easy. | ||
| They're comfortable. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| I'm the square root says, hello guys, been lurking for a long time and want to say please keep up the good work in cutting through the BS and getting out the truth. | ||
| We will. | ||
| Joseph Michael says you need to get Montaga IG on. | ||
| He's running against AOC. | ||
| He thinks the Floyd death is staged. | ||
| Spin the UFO. | ||
| They're coming in four weeks. | ||
| Aliens! | ||
| Have you seen the meme of the aliens like this? | ||
| I will spin it. | ||
| You see the meme? | ||
| It's a bunch of aliens and one of them is like this. | ||
| I haven't seen it. | ||
| And he says we're up next. | ||
| I'm so nervous. | ||
| Yeah, Joe Rogan posted that one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude. | |
| No, no, no, man. | ||
| The aliens aren't next. | ||
| What's next, Tim? | ||
| So we had pandemic. | ||
| We had race riots. | ||
| We need a war. | ||
| Do we? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, we don't need a war. | ||
| No, no, no, I mean like before we get to aliens, we need to go through the regular things first. | ||
| You know what we're in right now? | ||
| This is like the last episode of the season where they do that anthology. | ||
| Isn't it hurricane and tornado season now? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Isn't it that level? | ||
| So, you know how TV shows will do this thing where, like, instead of making a new episode, they just show clips from past episodes? | ||
| Right, yeah. | ||
| That was the stupidest thing ever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Very rude. | |
| Like, what was the point of that? | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| Give the actors a break? | ||
| That's kind of what we're in right now. | ||
| We are in an anthology year. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So instead of getting one full story arc, we're getting short stories. | ||
| Like, the first quarter was COVID, the second quarter will be race riots, the third quarter is going to be tornadoes, hurricanes, and natural disasters, and the fourth quarter is going to be full-on civil war. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It's a mini-series. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mark Tim's words here. | |
| Wouldn't it be funny if it actually turned out that way? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wouldn't say funny is the best word. | |
| The first quarter of this year was pandemic, and the second quarter is now race riots. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What are the other two quarters gonna be? | ||
| What's the third quarter? | ||
| Hurricanes, tornadoes, and natural disasters. | ||
| You saw that Yellowstone thing? | ||
| The poles are shifting? | ||
| Yellowstone earthquakes are a warning, the scientists say. | ||
| I'm ready. | ||
| I'm gonna be fun. | ||
| It's gonna be fun. | ||
| Fine finally someone in set in the chat said zombies are next. No. Oh, no zombies are next season. That's | ||
| the reason I'm saying there's a lot that's got to happen before the aliens come is because | ||
| We're dealing with a an escalating scale an exponential gain in absurdity. Yeah, so right now the absurdity is I | ||
| Gotta tell you man if anyone you know, I used to talk about simulation theory if | ||
| If there was ever a reason to believe in it, it's what's happening right now. | ||
| Because you have the COVID narrative and the Black Lives Matter narrative, and they can't connect. | ||
| They can't coexist. | ||
| No, they don't. | ||
| They can't coexist. | ||
| They really can't. | ||
| Well, I think the COVID pandemic didn't really work for the Dems. | ||
| It made them look bad. | ||
| And they're like, oh man, we gotta switch it up. | ||
| They're happening at the same time. | ||
| Well, COVID is over, isn't it? | ||
| No, CNN today complained that Trump moved the chairs in the Rose Garden so they weren't social distancing. | ||
| Yeah, that's ridiculous, though. | ||
| Vice wrote an article. | ||
| You saw this, right? | ||
| Which one? | ||
| You sent it to me, didn't you? | ||
| The Vice article, where it was like, the police aren't allowing the protesters to properly social distance in jail. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| What? | ||
| Mind blown. | ||
| They're outside together, not social distancing. | ||
| Dancing, marching. | ||
| Well, if you're a Republican, though, you're not allowed to social distance. | ||
| Have you ever played Sim Earth? | ||
| Go to church. | ||
| You ever play Sim Earth? | ||
| No, I haven't. | ||
| Old school game? | ||
| You could just go into the menu and trigger a natural disaster. | ||
| You'd be like, eh, hurricane. | ||
| And the hurricane would come. | ||
| I want a word. | ||
| It really does feel like we're in a simulation, and the older brother handed the controller to the little kid, or the keyboard, and the kid is now going like, wraith, riot, and pandemic. | ||
| and civil war and oh tornadoes and it's like we're going ahhh, like running around freaking everything on fire, | ||
| hurricane, and it's just some little kid mashing buttons bang bang bang bang so here's another prediction | ||
| come August is when the the dad or the older brother runs in and goes | ||
|
unidentified
|
no no stop mashing that, oh you're ruining my game, oh no now what's going on | |
| Donald Trump is president, what did you hit? What did you do? What button did you press? | ||
| How long have they been playing the game? | ||
| Joe Biden is running for office? | ||
| Oh, he was... Mom! | ||
| Jeremy was mashing keyboards again. | ||
| Now Joe Biden's the Democratic nominee. | ||
| She's like, stop pressing the buttons. | ||
| That's what's happening. | ||
| That's why everything's absurd. | ||
| Dang it, Jeremy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nothing makes sense. | |
| This is all your fault. | ||
| Simulation. | ||
| It's actually just a little kid's video game. | ||
| So do they reset it in August? | ||
| That's what I need to know. | ||
| We wake up one day and everything just goes completely back to normal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Trump quietly... Everyone's just standing there like this. | ||
| And then we figure out who the NPCs really are. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And we're like, dude, dude. | ||
| Adam's not moving. | ||
| Adam's not moving. | ||
| She's calling you an NPC, bro. | ||
| Hey. | ||
| You just did the T-pose, I don't know. | ||
| Hey there. | ||
| All right, let's read some more of these here super chats. | ||
| Thomas Self says, so about this D&D campaign, an obvious good name for the show would be Pool Party or something. | ||
| I think there's a huge market for you, by the way, because for some reason, most D&D podcasts are ultra woke these days. | ||
| Doesn't Sargon do D&D and stuff? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, he plays magic and so does Dank. | ||
| I know Dankula does magic. | ||
| Do they? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know about Sargon. | ||
| D&D would be fun. | ||
| Why don't we create a culture war D&D? | ||
| Maybe it wouldn't work because the jokes would kind of go over people's heads. | ||
| No, I want to... | ||
| avoid that kind of stuff i want to get into like a cool world with dragons and treasure and make jokes irrelevant to mainstream stupid oh sure you know we make jokes crack jokes about whatever i mean yeah i'm saying we avoid the political yeah you play games to escape get away from it all All right, let's see. | ||
| Jessica says, James Corden and staff on the CBS Late Show last night told all white Americans can make the country better by apologizing to every African American we come across for our white privilege. | ||
| Do not do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| That is so insulting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do not. | |
| That is terrible advice. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Wow. | ||
| Could you imagine? | ||
| That's not going to fix anything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How dare you? | |
| You know what? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, stop. | ||
| Both of you, I want you to apologize to me right now because I'm Japanese. | ||
| I'm thinking of a word. | ||
| And the Japanese were interned in this country. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Before I was alive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
By you! | |
| By you! | ||
| I wasn't born yet! | ||
| Timothy! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You specifically! | |
| I was a little strand of DNA! | ||
| Tim, I have two words for you and they are not happy birthday, okay? | ||
| I'm not apologizing to you. | ||
| I did not intern you, okay? | ||
| It's not my fault. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Wait, what are the two words though? | ||
| They're not happy birthday, okay, Adam? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Listen, listen. | |
| I want to know the words! | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Adam, it was you personally who did this to me. | ||
| Personally. | ||
| Now, I was never interned. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Do we need to take this outside? | ||
| Is that legal in Jersey? | ||
| I kind of feel like you're interning me right now. | ||
| Let's take this outside, man. | ||
| I'm trying to keep it legal. | ||
| This is hate speech. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| You know what's funny? | ||
| We're really, really ragging on what these people think and believe, like how stupid that would be. | ||
| This is what really bothers me about all this stupid stuff they believe is like, so I'm mostly white. | ||
| My family wasn't even here during slavery. | ||
| They immigrated here from different parts of the world, from Europe and from, and like literally the 1800s to 1900s, like late 1800s. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't have anything to do with this. | ||
| My family came here for a better life. | ||
| We're literally immigrants who fought for a better life and still barely got it. | ||
| I'm the first person in my family's history to be successful in this capacity. | ||
| No one in my family's got a college degree. | ||
| Except for my dad, I think. | ||
| I'll keep my family stuff more private, but not successful people. | ||
| South Side of Chicago is not where you expect to find the privileged elites. | ||
| So we come here and we have all these laws against us with the miscegenation laws. | ||
| We finally are doing better. | ||
| And now I got people screaming in my face that I had something to do with this and I gotta pay for it. | ||
| And I'm like, I had nothing to do with it, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You had nothing to do with it. | ||
| I didn't. | ||
| You had nothing to do with it. | ||
| My family, when they came, they were not interned in any way. | ||
| It's kind of weird, though, because my family was Asian, you know? | ||
| And I don't know how they were determining who was getting interned in World War II and all that stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| My grandpa was actually in World War II, and he was married to a 100% Korean woman. | ||
| Mad respect. | ||
| Yeah, no? | ||
| And that was illegal back then. | ||
| Good for him. | ||
| Super illegal. | ||
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| So this is where you get it. | ||
| This is where you get the streak from, huh, Tim? | ||
| Dude, you have to be, if the government says you can't marry and cohabitate with somebody, and then you do, and you successfully have children, those children are going to be libertarian. | ||
| They're going to be like, F you government! | ||
| I do what I want! | ||
| You told me I shouldn't exist. | ||
| That's why I like America, man. | ||
| Screw you. | ||
| I exist because of the policies of a country that worked towards allowing people to be more and more free. | ||
| Now they want to tear it all down. | ||
| No fun. | ||
| Not good people. | ||
| Christian S says, is it just me or does it seem like all these far left, usually Antifa supporter types, who are usually against starting wars in foreign countries have no problem trying to start one in their own? | ||
| They're playing games, man. | ||
| They're not really trying to ignite a civil war or do any of this other stupid stuff. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| They're playing a game. | ||
| Some of them are. | ||
| I mean, yes, but it's like the older, legit revolutionaries. | ||
| These young kids, they're playing a video game. | ||
| They're bored. | ||
| They have no purpose. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| You know that video of the kid punting that guy's head in the street of Portland? | ||
| They caught him. | ||
| That's how old he was. | ||
| So, 14. | ||
| Are you serious? | ||
| 14 years old. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. 14. | |
| He's a dumb kid who went out to play stupid games. | ||
| And you know what the problem is? | ||
| He goes on Tumblr or whatever dumb website where he reads this stupid garbage nonsense and they encourage it. | ||
| This is how things are getting really, really bad for kids, man. | ||
| The internet, man. | ||
| There was an article that I started reading that basically was alluding that the human race was not ready for social media. | ||
| And in a lot of ways, that's true. | ||
| We had no idea. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How big it was gonna affect us. | ||
| How much, yeah. | ||
| It's pretty crazy. | ||
| Yeah, I agree. | ||
| Well, we have 50 billion superchats, so I'm trying my best to get to as many as I can. | ||
| We're very lucky. | ||
| Just know, I mean no disrespect if we can't get to your superchat. | ||
| Thank you for showing up tonight, everybody. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Stay with us, too, because I'm gonna be playing a couple songs later. | ||
| Every Friday night. | ||
| Over on the casting couch. | ||
| Every Friday night, we close the show. | ||
| You coined that phrase. | ||
| No, someone else did. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Someone commented. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| The casting couch. | ||
| And you're like, yep. | ||
| And I'm like this. | ||
| It is hilarious, though. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| So every Friday night, instead of just shutting down at 10, we jam some songs. | ||
| I'm not gonna do it this time, so Adam will just play a couple songs. | ||
| Yeah, I'll jam. | ||
| But I lost my voice last time and it carried through. | ||
| Protect Tim's voice. | ||
| He talks all day every day. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| For four hours. | ||
| I come and get to listen to him talk and throw some stuff out there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's easy. | |
| So let's see, where are we at? | ||
| They aren't doing a 180 though. | ||
| lockdown ends up having been pointless. That would just be the biggest slap in the face to | ||
| small business owners who are going or went bankrupt because of the lockdown, especially | ||
| with media doing a 180 on social distancing. They aren't doing a 180 though. Like CNN is | ||
| right now complaining. Only Democrats are allowed to. | ||
| Yes, yup, straight up. | ||
| Basically, yeah. | ||
| This ABC News correspondent said, what Trump did by moving the chairs close together was a violation of CDC guidelines. | ||
| It's like, Whitmer was crazy on her citizens, and she's out there marching now. | ||
| I was talking to my friend, and I'm like- Like, shoulder to shoulder with everyone. | ||
| It's like- Wearing a mask. | ||
| What? | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| Dude, they're literally saying if you're a Democrat, Democrats are allowed to do it. | ||
| Dude, Democrats, man. | ||
| They think they own everything. | ||
| I can't stand them, yo. | ||

| Villa Music Dude says, get rid of the Fed Reserve and return to sound money. | ||
| You get better purchasing power, backed currency with solid assets, affordable insurance and healthcare via stable currency, 1.38 minimum wage in the 1960s, dollar equals 100K a year today. | ||

|
Wow. | |
| Charles Foster says the answer to poverty is personal responsibility. | ||
| I like the quote. | ||
| You show me someone that's been poor their entire life in America, and I'll show you someone that's horrible with money. | ||
| Student of History says, wealthy farmers in the USSR, Ukraine, were called kulaks. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And they were genocided in the Holodomor because they were wealthy, they resisted collectivization, and were put in camps, and that caused the Holodomor. | ||
| He is living up to his name. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| What's the name? | ||
| Student of History. | ||
| That's right, Student of History. | ||
| Villa Music Dude says, Tim, did you hear about this celebrity that said to burn the Constitution? | ||
| We need a voice of reason like Ron Paul to reignite the spirit of individual liberties and our country's foundations. | ||
| We need hope now more than ever. | ||
| But I wonder if this kind of collectivism is the result of expanding population and aging society. | ||
| They become more and more... You know, look, man, any system you create will tend towards politicians promising the impossible. | ||
| If I want to win an election, what am I going to do? | ||
| Bro, elect me, I'll give you a thousand bucks. | ||
| How does that sound? | ||
| Well, it didn't play out well for Andrew Yang. | ||
| But he literally rolled with, if I'm president, everyone gets a thousand dollars. | ||
| He said, I'm literally going to give you money. | ||
| There's a famous quote from someone saying that the republic dies when politicians realize they can simply offer people money to vote for them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it works. | ||
| Well, within reason, right? | ||
| So they whisper sweet nothings into your ear. | ||
| Free healthcare. | ||
| Free college. | ||
| Free public transportation. | ||
| And you're like, these things sound great. | ||
| It would be great if I didn't have to pay for these things. | ||
| Well, then who pays for them? | ||
| There's no such thing. | ||
| Someone's got to do the labor. | ||
| In big cities, these people don't realize that when it comes to free, everything is the product of someone else's labor, be it a product or a service. | ||
| Somewhere. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Even automation still has a human at some point to trigger and do some work. | ||
| So everything that's created, now things may become less labor-intensive. | ||
| But they whisper these sweet nothings into your ears about, you know, free everything. | ||
| So you vote for it. | ||
| You don't actually get it. | ||
| They can't give it to you. | ||
| But then politicians lean towards that direction. | ||
| So I'll tell you what, man. | ||
| It's really simple. | ||
| If a politician says, life isn't easy. | ||
| You're gonna have to work hard to succeed. | ||
| And the other politician goes, he's a fascist. | ||
| I'll just give you what you ask for. | ||
| What are they gonna vote for? | ||
| I'll take the path of least resistance, man. | ||
| The guy who's saying I'm gonna have free stuff, well that's a trick. | ||
| And then you end up with an authoritarian dictatorship. | ||
| Yep, that's how that works. | ||
| You know that quote, um, I don't agree with you, but I defend your right to say it? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Where did that sentiment go? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Remember liberals? | ||
| liberals used to exist. Remember? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Remember when liberals were a thing? | ||
| Remember liberals? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now liberals not the same anymore. | ||
| It's millennials, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But look, I gotta be honest. It's the fault of liberals. It really is. So, you know, I | ||
| was thinking about what makes millennials linticks. Well, dude. | ||
| It's the hippie parents who wouldn't discipline them. | ||
| Who gave them participation trophies. | ||
| There was a comic I was reading. | ||
| It was a political comic. | ||
| And it said, like, 1960s. | ||
| And it was the teacher telling the parents, your child is failing and doing a miserable job. | ||
| And the parents look at the kid and say, what are you doing? | ||
| And now it says, you know, 2017 or whatever, when the comic was made. | ||
| And the teacher says, your child is failing and doing wrong, and the parents yell at the teacher and say, what did you do wrong? | ||
| And the kids sitting there all smug, like, you know, I can do no wrong. | ||
| That's where we're at. | ||
| Yeah, you're right. | ||
| So all of our parents created the snowflakes. | ||
| I got lucky. | ||
| You know, I got lucky, you got lucky, you got lucky. | ||
| Everybody watching, within reason, got lucky. | ||
| These poor, poor millennials. | ||
| These poor kids. | ||
| You know, what's funny is we used to joke a couple years ago, like, as soon as these kids graduate college, man, they're gonna get a cold splash of water in the face. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| You know what they did? | ||
| Changed the world. | ||
| No, they went around splashing other people in the face, screeching at the top of their lungs, gimme gimme gimme. | ||
| And they were like, fine, fine, fine, take it. | ||
| Now you've literally got the New York Times being like, Tess, take the great lady and just do whatever you want with it. | ||
| Leave me alone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| You know what I want to see? | ||
| If the New York Times doesn't fire all 160 of those employees, they will no longer exist. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And they won't do it because they're spineless. | ||
| They'll deserve it. | ||
| They're spineless. | ||
| If it were me and I had a newspaper and I'm like this 80-year-old guy and I see a bunch of whiny ideologue lunatics being like, we're walking out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll be like, don't let the door hit you on the ass and way out. | |
| And they'd be like, wait, what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| You're fired. | ||
| Goodbye. | ||
| Who's going to run the air traffic controllers? | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Bye. | ||
| Get out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Who did that? | ||
| Reagan? | ||
| Yeah, it was Reagan. | ||
| Reagan was like, bye bye. | ||
| Peace out. | ||
| You're fired. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The, was it the air traffic controllers went on strike? | ||
| Yeah, they went on strike. | ||
| They wanted more money or something. | ||
| Bye bye. | ||
| You're gone. | ||
| It's pretty decisive. | ||
| Look, man, if there were legitimate grievances from people saying, like, collective bargaining and stuff, I'd be like, I hear you, okay, let's have a conversation. | ||
| If it was over dogma, where you literally were saying burn the company to the ground, I'd get rid of you. | ||
| These people are demanding the New York Times give up its editorial independence. | ||
| Nah, mm-mm, mm-mm. | ||
| Imagine if you had a coal mine, or a, yeah, let's say you had a dairy farm. | ||
| We'll do dairy farm. | ||
| And all of your employees one day came in and said, milking cows is wrong. | ||
| You'd be like, what? | ||
| Like, we literally do that, that's what we do. | ||
| Well, we don't like the fact that you are giving cow milk because it's harmful. | ||
| It's like, you realize we're a dairy farm, right? | ||
| Like, we're the New York Times. | ||
| You realize we publish opinions of people, right? | ||
| They bent the knee? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| The New York Times was like, we're so sorry we did this. | ||
| I had never seen that before. | ||
| The bending over backwards? | ||
| I'd never seen that with an opinion piece. | ||
| Do you know that the New York Times allowed the Taliban to write an op-ed? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| What the Taliban really want. | ||
| Yes, it's like, what we the Taliban really want. | ||
| And nobody complained about that. | ||
| Nobody said a single thing. | ||
| The New York Times ran an op-ed arguing that pedophilia was a disorder, not a crime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Spicy. | ||
| And no one complained about that. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| But you bring in a Republican to give you the... | ||
| When? What year was that? | ||
| The PETA one? | ||
| I'd say 2018. | ||
| Yeah, you want to Google it? | ||
| Sure, yeah. | ||
| 2018. | ||
| Two years ago? | ||
| Recently. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Yeah, these people are losing their minds. | ||
| But listen, listen. | ||
| I don't mind the op-ed. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| 2014. | ||
|
unidentified
|
2014. | |
| Write the op-ed. | ||
| Write it. | ||
| And then I want to know what these people think so I can be better equipped when I confront people who think ridiculous things. | ||
| Well, I tweeted an article about that. | ||
| Somebody came out and they said, legit, this is the perfect response to this. | ||
| They're like, the best response to Tom Cotton's argument is a better argument. | ||
| And I was like, yes, that is exactly why we have free speech. | ||
| That's why it's the first amendment. | ||
| You tackle their idea with a better idea. | ||
| Yeah, but no one wants to do that. | ||
| And that's what's annoying me. | ||
| That's such cowardice. | ||
| You can't even have a regular conversation with someone. | ||
| Hey, I disagree with what you're saying. | ||
| I still like you. | ||
| They just run away screaming instead of, well, let me explain myself to you so you might understand. | ||
| And I'd be like, oh, interesting. | ||
| I'm willing to hear this. | ||
| It's a mob. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's a mob mentality. | ||
| And I'll tell you what, when the mob starts pummeling on you, there's nothing you can say or do. | ||
| I mean, actually, there might be. | ||
| I think one thing I've learned is that absurdity and unpredictable behavior can aid you in the event of some kind of mob attack, whether it's verbal or physical. | ||
| And I really do mean it. | ||
| So people react Very, very obviously. | ||
| So, someone will post an opinion on the internet. | ||
| Someone else will say, you're dumb. | ||
| And they'll respond with, no, you're dumb. | ||
| If you respond completely out of line with what they expect, it really messes things up. | ||
| So, somebody commented on Facebook earlier, I saw this, and they were talking about the compound bow guy, when he got out of his car. | ||
| Yeah, and so in order to engage with this, I'm like that what they posted was wrong. | ||
| They said the guy got out of his car screaming, threatening people, | ||
| you know, and I'm like, OK, there's more to the story. | ||
| They're not technically they're not completely wrong. | ||
| And I said, I just posted the guy opened his window and yelled all lives matter. | ||
| Someone came and punched him in the face. | ||
| He got out, took out his compound bow, aimed it at him. | ||
| The protesters ran up, took it, disarmed him, beat him up and then flipped his car and burned it. | ||
| In no way did I support or oppose anything having to do with any of that situation. | ||
| Just laid the facts out. | ||
| So someone responded, you're an idiot. | ||
| Literally saying like, you're so dumb. | ||
| How would that even matter? | ||
| The dude was clearly threatening people's lives and it's a good thing they stopped him. | ||
| And so I responded with, totally agree. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| It's insane that someone would threaten someone's life over these stupid things. | ||
| And I was like, I think burning the car may be over the top. | ||
| They did. | ||
| They doubled down. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| So there's something I call bugs bunnying. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You ever see Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck fighting over which season it is, duck or rabbit season? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Famous cartoon. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| So what Bugs Bunny does is he's like, it's duck season. | ||
| And then Daffy says, it's rabbit season. | ||
| And then Bugs goes, it's rabbit season. | ||
| And then Daffy goes, no, it's duck season. | ||
| And then Bugs goes, OK. | ||
| And then Elmer Fudd shoots Daffy Duck. | ||
| So this is something I've actually done to people, and I've successfully gotten Antifa to argue in favor of fascism. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| That's amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So I've done it on a few occasions because I did it to prove a point about how their only goal is to oppose and hate and tribe. | ||
| And so what happened was, this was a couple of years ago, I was in a comment thread on Facebook, but I did it several times. | ||
| And then I would specifically point out at the end, this thread was me Bugs Bunnying, you know, this person. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I can't remember exactly what it was. | ||
| I remember I recorded... I talked about it on a live stream once. | ||
| But they mentioned something about, like, police. | ||
| And then I gave my position. | ||
| And then as we argued, I inverted it to start agreeing with a lot of their points. | ||
| And then they started disagreeing with the things I was saying. | ||
| But I was actually reiterating things they'd already said. | ||
| So, to clarify, it's basically like, I didn't approach it directly adversarially, like, I completely disagree with everything you're saying. | ||
| I was approaching it like, well, I think you're missing this point and this point. | ||
| So then by the time we engage in a conversation, I could bring it back and say, well, it is true that police have done X, Y, and Z. And they're like, no, man, you have no idea what you're talking about. | ||
| These police are under serious stress. | ||
| And I'm like, gotcha. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| Bugs Bunny. | ||
| You are just a contrarian who wants to be mad and oppose people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Gotcha. | ||
| And get others to hate each other too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Bugs bunnying. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's a funny, it's a funny thing. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Bradley Poole says, glad that we are using our lockdown time to do something productive, like getting around to confronting police brutality. | ||
| It's like we got so bored, we decided to clean up around the house, but now we are arguing about how, how to organize everything. | ||
| Also not sure if we're related. | ||
| Well, if your last name is Poole with no E, probably somewhere down the line. | ||
| Yeah, cool. | ||
| So there's a really funny, who tweeted this? | ||
| Matt Walsh? | ||
| Where he was like, phase one, he was like, slowly reopen businesses, you know, and retail curbside delivery. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Phase two, loot and burn local businesses in your city. | ||
| Phase three, reopen churches at 20% capacity. | ||
| Like, that's what we did! | ||
| That's exactly what's happening right now, though. | ||
| Yep, I love it. | ||
| It's funny because it's true. | ||
| Yeah, I wonder if there's a better way to sort through superchats. | ||
| I wish we could sort by amount, honestly. | ||
| Well, I don't think we can. | ||
| Oh gosh. | ||
| Duskpuppet says, keep up the good work Timmy boy, play your videos in the background everyday | ||
| at work. | ||
| Shoutout from Minneapolis. | ||
| Stay safe dude, you're about to lose your police department. | ||
| Here we go, Nautilus stop motion says, no lives matter, let's bring back dueling. | ||
| I love that no lives matter comic man, because... | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Everyone rocking out. | ||
| Yeah, it's like, this comic is the best because the black guy says black lives matter, the white guy says all lives matter, the metal head says no lives matter, and then they all come together to enjoy music. | ||
| Start rocking out. | ||
| Just enjoying some music together as friends. | ||
| Everybody loves metal. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| It brought everyone together. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's see, uh, Grumruck says BlackBlock is supposedly going to be in Toronto tomorrow. | ||
| People are reporting stacks of bricks popping up all, all around the, uh, popping up around the protest area. | ||
| Businesses are boarded up, but I'm going anyway. | ||
| This is something that's really, it's really funny with how they're debunking the bricks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So a lot of stories are coming out saying like, no, no, this is confirmed part of this, that, or this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No, they're not. | ||
| It's really weird. You mentioned those bricks. They were part of a construction project. | ||
| They boarded up all the windows and everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They're not doing construction. | ||
| No, they're not. | ||
| And what the first thing, time this was noticed, it was literally a stack of bricks in front of a courthouse with | ||
| nothing else going on. | ||
| And the bricks didn't even match the color of the courthouse. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the guy's like, there's no construction here. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What are these bricks doing here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And now all these Antifa people are posting jokes like totally, man, these people eat up propaganda like, like it's | ||
| like skittles. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Pouring them in their mouth. | ||
| Oh, piece of candy. | ||
| They're doing these things like I'm seeing people post. | ||
| Where, how do I sign up for Antifa? | ||
| Where's the Antifa organizer? | ||
| How do I get my Soros check? | ||
| And it's like, are you serious? | ||
| You read some stupid propaganda piece from Antifa and now you think there's no organizers? | ||
| Project Veritas has video of them doing combat training. | ||
| Combat training in and of itself is not illegal. | ||
| Having a storefront where you recruit people is not in and of itself illegal. | ||
| But they're literally an Antifa organization, with a branded name called The Base. | ||
| Yeah, seriously. | ||
| And they train people to fight, and share their ideology, and recruit, and are organized, and have leaders who come in and teach you what to do, and promote terroristic activities on Twitter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Huh. | ||
| Yeah, so, uh. | ||
| I'm sure they don't exist, though. | ||
| So, it's funny, I've seen, some people I know, I'm not gonna name them, posted on Twitter about this, so I instantly DM'd, they were like, Where are the Antifa leaders? | ||
| What are their names? | ||
| How do I find them? | ||
| How do I donate to these organizations and get involved? | ||
| And so, you know, I did. | ||
| I DM'd them. | ||
| I'm like, here you go. | ||
| Here's a link. | ||
| Here's a link. | ||
| Here's a name. | ||
| Here's them with a tattoo. | ||
| Here's all the information you need. | ||
| And here's the name of their group called Blank Antifa. | ||
| And it's like, oh. | ||
| Like, there's actually a group of some leaders and financing and organization and meetings. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And a vetting process. | ||
| If you look, you can find it. | ||
| And it says how to join. | ||
| Huh. | ||
| And I'm like, uh huh. | ||
| So in the United States, you're allowed to do all those things. | ||
| But here's what I'm trying to tell people. | ||
| Listen. | ||
| If you go up to somebody and punch them in the face, you will get arrested for assault and maybe battery depending on your jurisdiction. | ||
| Illinois it's assault and battery. | ||
| If you go up to somebody and you yell a racial slur and punch them in the face, it's now a hate crime. | ||
| So if you're a regular person and you throw a brick through a window, you get vandalism charges. | ||
| If you have a tattoo that says, you know, Antifa, whatever, and you're part of an organization that engages in ideological extremism, they're going to add terror to your charge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Because your goal was terrorism-related. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think it's funny that they complain that these people who want the hate crime bills get mad about the political motivation additions to criminal charges. | ||
| It's like, nah, man, you asked for this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| I bought the ticket. | ||
| If you're complaining about hate and you want hate crimes, well, that's an ideological motivation for a crime. | ||
| The same is true for Antifa. | ||
| It's an ideological motivation for a crime. | ||
| They tack it on top. | ||
| I don't necessarily agree with it. | ||
| I think vandalism is vandalism, but you reap what you sow. | ||
| All right, let's see what we got here. | ||
| I'll be right back. | ||
| We are about five minutes away, and we'll need to plug this stuff in and get it all set up. | ||
| I gotta go grab priorities. | ||
| Priorities. | ||
| I'm gonna go get some whiskey. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Whiskey! | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's just, that's how I do it. | ||
| So we gotta roll. | ||
| Well, if you haven't already, give a little tap on your phone, if you're on your phone, to boop. | ||
| Only if you have not already. | ||
| A little tap. Only, yeah, if you've already done it, don't do it because then it actually erases the light. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, uh, subscribe, uh, like, notification bell, all that good stuff. | ||
| And actually in the description below, there's merchandise. | ||
| And we have this really awesome graphic designed by one of the people who hangs out and watch. | ||
| It was actually a commenter who had the idea of a t-shirt that says Haram Faisay. | ||
| And then somebody actually designed a Haram Faisay t-shirt. | ||
| And it's me, all smug looking, with a bubble pipe. | ||
| Bubble pipe. | ||
| And that's in the link in the description. | ||
| In a tuxedo. | ||
| You can get your very own Haram Faisay t-shirt. | ||
| So we are waiting for an Adam shirt and a Lydia shirt. | ||
| I think we might have them soon. | ||
| Lydia shirt is in the works. | ||
| Yeah, the Lydia one is like, I bear your burdens. | ||
| It's a Skyrim reference. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But you can also follow me at TimCast on Instagram. | ||
| I'll post probably cats skateboarding and memes. | ||
| If you follow me on Twitter, I'm complaining about things all the time. | ||
| So if you like to listen to snarky comments about politics and stuff and me complaining, for sure. | ||
| And also you can follow at Sour Patch Lids. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| That's me. | ||
| L-Y-D-S. | ||
| Follow me. | ||
| And then, uh, Adam Crigler is at Adam Crigler. | ||
| Now, that's the important follow, because if you want to send stuff to the show, you can send that stuff to Adam. | ||
| But if you want to send physical stuff to the show, if you have art, if you have ideas, anything you want to do, you can go to timcast.com slash donate, and there is a P.O. | ||
| box. | ||
| Somebody recently... What did we get sent today? | ||
| Magic cards! | ||
| Oh my gosh, I have to show this thing we got. | ||
| Can I show this thing? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is my favorite thing in the world. | ||
| We got this thing. | ||
| It says Roof Korean and it is a roof Korean with his little implement of choice. | ||
| Implement. | ||
| Standing on a rooftop. | ||
| And it's fantastic. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| We're getting feedback because the mic's not on. | ||
| Is it on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to turn it on right now. | |
| Hurry up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's good. | |
| So let me tell you a story. | ||
| Good? | ||
| Yeah, we're good. | ||
| When I was younger, I was assigned by a teacher to write about my cultural heritage. | ||
| They wanted an essay. | ||
| And my family didn't have anything because we were poor Southsiders in Chicago and we had regular old American nothing. | ||
| I mean, we didn't have anything. | ||
| We had no statues. | ||
| We had nothing. | ||
| So where is it? | ||
| Can you hand it to me? | ||
| Yeah, here. | ||
| So someone sent me something recently, and it warms my heart. | ||
| Because I think back to, you know, 21 years ago when I was told to take something that represented my culture and my heritage and write about it, and I had nothing because I was poor. | ||
| Well today, someone sent me something that I can finally say represents my cultural heritage. | ||
| And it's Roof Korean. | ||
| So dope. | ||
| It is the Roof Korean. | ||
| It is the best thing. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| And I love it so much. | ||
| It's got velcro on the back, so when you got your outfit on, you'd be like, boom. | ||
| You can slap the Roof Korean patch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's so cool. | |
| I do think it's hilarious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love it. | |
| And I want to tell this funny joke, too, because I love it. | ||
| And I make this point because it's about the idea of racism and stuff. | ||
| I was talking to my friend, and I brought this up recently. | ||
| I was talking to a friend of mine about how YouTube demonetization was getting really, really bad. | ||
| And people were saying things like, it's affecting political channels, we're being censored. | ||
| And I said, no, it's worse than that. | ||
| Everyone's getting demonetized. | ||
| My mom makes math tutorial videos. | ||
| She's getting demonetized. | ||
| And then my friend said, why am I not surprised that your mom, your Korean mom, makes math videos? | ||
| And I laughed, and I immediately texted my mom that, and she left. | ||
| Also, my mom has almost 50,000 subscribers on YouTube. | ||
| No doubt! | ||
| I like her videos. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| I would shout it out, but the way YouTube works is that if people subscribe to a channel they never watch, it damages the channel. | ||
| Ah, okay. | ||
| Keep it legit. | ||
| For those people who want to know math. | ||
| Yeah, so this is something you guys should know if you want to be YouTubers. | ||
| If you get an influx of subscribers that don't come back and watch your content, YouTube considers your channel dead and stops recommending it. | ||
| So you need a certain percentage of people to keep clicking the recommendations every day, otherwise YouTube stops sharing it and you become a dead channel. | ||
| That's why there are channels that have 700k subs and get like 10k views. | ||
| Because YouTube's like, nobody will watch this, why waste our time? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Word. | ||
| Yeah, so we'll read the last couple here. | ||
| Eldarth, thanks for the massive super chat saying, supporting the last real journalist. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Listen, SCNR has got real journalists, man. | ||
| Cheers. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| I am but a humble opinion man on the internet who is of milquetoast sensibilities. | ||
| So a lot of people will say, you're a real journalist, and the reality is, no, I'm just not vying for a side to win. | ||
| So like when I see the press and Trump says, you know, George Floyd would be looking down, it's a good day for him considering the accountability that's been brought forward, that's literally what happened. | ||
| The problem is these other journalists aren't telling you the truth. | ||
| So it's not so much that I'm doing hard journalism. | ||
| It's just that whether Trump is right or wrong is irrelevant to me. | ||
| And I think he's a tendency to be right. | ||
| I think other presidents have been more right. | ||
| Other presidents have been less right. | ||
| But if you oppose literally everything Trump does, then you have a tendency to be wrong. | ||
| And the Democrats have absolutely done that. | ||
| But we've got some journalists over at SCNR.com who are doing a great job. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Kyle of Knight says, Crowder sent you a great rifle, Tim. | ||
| Please buy ammo and get some training. | ||
| I know you're a busy guy, but please make the time to get quality training to know your firearm. | ||
| CAG works, Bayer Solutions, etc. | ||
| I am going to have legit training. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| So I already have gone through a standard handgun training class with the New Jersey Police Department. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, cool. | |
| Yeah, it was cool. | ||
| They had a bunch of, like, three tables set up with, like, three guns each, and they start from the bottom, which was, like, Some 22 and work you up to some I don't remember what all the guns were just like bigger rounds Yeah, yeah the I think the the Walther they had me shoot cuz I'm talking to Crowder about this He was mentioning how they're really great like really easy. | ||
| He said it was like cheating It's that's that's how good and simple they are and I was like that was one of the first the ones they had Me try in the beginning because it was so ridiculously easy. | ||
| Yeah that when I went to st Louis and I went to a range and they gave me a Glock and I was like, wow, whoa, that's strong. | ||
| Like, you know, I didn't know what to expect. | ||
| When they gave me the Walther, it was kind of scary how easy it was and how I didn't, like, it's just, I don't know how else to explain it. | ||
| Like, it's not as heavy, didn't feel as much recoil, didn't have to think too hard about anything. | ||
| You know, and then they worked me up to the different guns. | ||
| So definitely, I did not expect Crowder to get me a SIG M400. | ||
| It was dope. | ||
| But I'm stoked for it. | ||
| It was fun to watch. | ||
| I've never, I've never been, you know, like, I've always been rather milquetoast. | ||
| I've never been hardcore, like, get rid of guns! | ||
| I've always been actually, like, that law seems kind of strange, you know? | ||
| It doesn't seem like they're... So, when they were doing all these gun control things, I was always very challenging to a lot of people about what they were trying to do with these laws, because they know what the laws did. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I went to one march. | ||
| And I asked people, they were holding signs that said, ban assault rifles. | ||
| And so I would have my camera and I'd be like, can I ask you a question? | ||
| I was like, the one woman, I was like, I see you're holding a sign that says ban assault rifles. | ||
| And she goes, yeah, we should definitely ban assault rifles. | ||
| And I was like, assault rifles have never been legal. | ||
| She was like, they're not? | ||
| And I'm like, no, no, not at all. | ||
| So I'm just trying to ask you, were you not aware? | ||
| And then she immediately pulls a sign down and folds it up and goes, I didn't know, I didn't know. | ||
| And then she was like, please don't use this. | ||
| I don't do gotcha interviews. | ||
| So I was like, okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm not going to make a video where I'm catching all these people. | ||
| I have no idea what they're talking about. | ||
| You know what that's called? | ||
| Journalism? | ||
| Respect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, probably a true journalist would have been like, this exists. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, I'm not trying to get you, but it exists. | ||
| People can be ignorant. | ||
| That's respect. | ||
| I'm not trying to go out to make these videos where I make people look dumb and laugh at them. | ||
| I was trying to go out there and get legitimate opinions, but I did basically say these people have no idea what they're talking about. | ||
| So, I'll tell you what, man. | ||
| I remember like, what, a month ago? | ||
| I was like, I moved over a little bit to the right on two-way for sure. | ||
| And then after all this, I'm like, I can't go any further on two-way. | ||
| Crowder, give me that gun. | ||
| Time to go get it. | ||
| We're gonna get a gun safe, we're gonna get a wreck. | ||
| There was no question. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| He was like, who are you voting for? | ||
| You're like, nope. | ||
| I'm not dodging these questions. | ||
| And then he's like, gun. | ||
| And you're like, yes. | ||
| I was like, all right, Tim. | ||
| And it was funny. | ||
| Very nice. | ||
| You jumped off the fence for once. | ||
| He was like, you have some bows. | ||
| And I was like, we do. | ||
| We have the bows because we want to have fun at the range. | ||
| Because it's a bow. | ||
| It's not like we're going to defend our home effectively. | ||
| And he goes, a broadhead to the chest might stop a looter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I'm like, slow him down. | |
| Could you imagine someone running through a suburban neighborhood with a broadhead through their chest screaming at the top of their lungs and then falling over in the middle of the street? | ||
| No, they'd probably try to pull it out and make it much worse. | ||
| You can't! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can't pull it out! | |
| Yeah, you can't. | ||
| I'm sure you could, but it would just do a significant amount of damage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't think about it. | |
| I got some bows because we wanted to go to an archery range for fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we also got some throwing knives because it's fun. | ||
| I think if you want to defend your house and you want to be serious about it... I want to get some serious throwing knives for serious throwing knives. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For sure. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| But I can't... You know, actually, some people have hit me up with some cool locations here in the States that have American-made knives. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| That's some legit throwing knives. | ||
| We should get some hatchets too. | ||
| We have a bunch of logs in the back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But so, yeah, so we have some bows for fun. | ||
| And I was like, it's not good enough. | ||
| But, you know, I'm kind of happy that we have them. | ||
| We have a lot. | ||
| And just because it's fun. | ||
| But I was planning on going and getting like, I don't know, a regular old handgun of some sort. | ||
| A handgun? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And Crowder recommended a Walther. | ||
| He said it's really, really good. | ||
| And I, you know, but then he was like, he was like, just stay tuned. | ||
| You know, let me make some phone calls. | ||
| I'll see what's up. | ||
| Apparently. | ||
| He called me in the morning and we were just talking about some stuff and then I didn't know he was going to do this, but apparently, I don't know if it was Darren or whoever else, started working on it all day to try and figure out how to get me a good gun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| And so I was like, you know, then after the show, he was like, I have a surprise for you. | ||
| And I was thinking, it can't be a gun, can it? | ||
| No. | ||
| Because it's so ridiculous, like New Jersey's laws. | ||
| Many people in chat during yesterday's episode were like, it's a gun. | ||
| Crowder got you a gun. | ||
| So Crowder ended up saying, like he texted me and he was like, I was trying to get you a good gun, but man, they really stepped up to get you like the Cadillac of guns, man. | ||
| This is a great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dope. | |
| And I was like, cool, cool, man. | ||
| That's what people were saying. | ||
| They're like, wow, that's a good gun. | ||
| So I'm gonna get a good gun safe. | ||
| So I went and met this guy. | ||
| It was really cool. | ||
| I did this interview with a New Jersey firearms instructor. | ||
| And he was actually fairly moderate on gun control measures. | ||
| His position, I don't want to speak for him, but I vaguely remember him basically saying, we need uniformity nationwide. | ||
| We can't have all these states be super restrictive and all these other states not be restrictive. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| And so, he said, it's actually not that hard in New Jersey, it does take like a month. | ||
| So, some people might argue that's just too much, because some states you can literally walk in, you have to deal with the federal background check stuff and all that, but a lot of states are like, you have a state ID, you can walk in and just begin that process, whereas in New Jersey, you gotta fill out like three forms, then you have to have a meeting with a detective, you have to write an essay or some nonsense. | ||
| Do you need a state ID in here, in New Jersey? | ||
| Yeah, you have to have a, yep. | ||
| One more thing I gotta do. | ||
| It's not gonna work for me then. | ||
| Well, yep, you gotta be a resident. | ||
| And so, it's not so crazy. | ||
| Well, I got that down already. | ||
| But apparently, the crazier thing is it's harder to get a handgun. | ||
| It's harder to get a handgun. | ||
| I don't think I'd want a handgun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Isn't that weird? | ||
| I would have assumed an AR was like... No, not really. | ||
| I mean, because you can conceal them very easily. | ||
| Yeah, that's right, yep. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Majority of crime. | ||
| And people go hunting. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| I would probably want a gun that I could also hunt with. | ||
| Funny people are like, what? | ||
| You're vegan. | ||
| Hey man, if the world goes to hell and we need to fend for ourselves, I'm going to do what I need to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And I think, I think the, uh, what's interesting about your veganism is that it straight up recognizes the luxury of American capitalism. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You've said it over and over again. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| You have all these wonderful choices. | ||
| You'll make those choices. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| Whereas you have a lot of these other people who demand the world go vegan, not realizing it's impossible in some places for people to be vegan. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Like we're in capitalist America where we're rich and we've literally invented lab grown meats and like... From plants. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| Plant blood. | ||
| Straight up made plant hemoglobin to make burgers that taste like blood. | ||
| Kevin Hart was talking about it. | ||
| He said they're good. | ||
| They're good. | ||
| Yeah, they taste good. | ||
| They're so good. | ||
| I don't care what I'm eating. | ||
| This is the funny thing, like, I don't care if you give me, like, we're talking about Fear Factor, when it's like, you're gonna eat a cow's eye. | ||
| I'd be like, no, it's a cow's eye. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Is it cooked? | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| We eat sushi. | ||
| My joke about Fear Factor was like... I never liked raw anything. | ||
| Okay, first of all, Fear Factor got cancelled because they had them drink, you know, bull emissions, I guess, to put it mildly. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Why would that be the line? | ||
| The breaking point? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| I mean, I guess that's the breaking point. | ||
| Why? | ||
| If you're telling me that I'm going to eat... So when they're like, this is the intestines of an ostrich or something, I'm like, Dude, I eat chicken all the time, bro. | ||
| I'm not stressing over eating a bird. | ||
| I know, but that still has an animal die. | ||
| At least with the bull stuff. | ||
| Listen, listen. | ||
| He got off. | ||
| I'd be willing to bet. | ||
| We're gonna get nasty. | ||
| So if your kids are listening. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright, tune out. | |
| Earmuffs. | ||
| I just steered the conversation. | ||
| Sorry, I couldn't help myself. | ||
| This is Adam's fault. | ||
| Entirely Adam's fault. | ||
| This is Adam's fault. | ||
| Earmuffs. | ||
| Earmuffs your kids. | ||
| It's too late. | ||
| So do you know how cheese got invented? | ||
| Uh, no. | ||
| I was reading about it, and apparently when they would kill an animal, they would store its milk in the stomach, and then tie off the stomach to save it for later. | ||
| And then the stomach lining has rennet or whatever in it, and it would curdle into cheese. | ||
| By the time they opened it up, it was cheese. | ||
| And it was like a crude cottage kind of cheese, you know? | ||
| And then over time they refined it and aged it and figured out how to make different cheeses. | ||
| Not that you mention, why is that the limit? | ||
| I have to imagine in ancient times, they killed the bull. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And they did not want to waste anything. | ||
| Anything. | ||
| So there's like a big old sack of emissions. | ||
| We'll just say liquid protein. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| But let's get serious for a minute. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| Let's get serious because we ask the hard questions here on Tim Cast IRL. | ||
| Yes we do. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| At a time when humans were desperate for food to maximize their protein intake, would they forego a sack of bull? | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| Definitely not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Probably not. | |
| Definitely not. | ||
| Would they put it into the stomach and tie it off and make cheese with it? | ||
| They'd make a pudding! | ||
| Oh my god! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm so glad. | ||
| I'm seeing the viewers just drop. | ||
| They're like, I'm out of here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Too much. | |
| This is what did fear factor in. | ||
| Good job, guys. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Oh, my goodness. | ||
| The whiskey hasn't even hit me yet. | ||
| Oh, my gosh. | ||
| It's Friday night. | ||

| You know, our viewership has been skyrocketing. | ||
| All we do is we hang out. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I always tell people, just do your thing. | ||
| And apparently it's worked. | ||
| We started doing the show end of January with like 2,000 live viewers. | ||
| That's really cool. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| 24,000, 30,000. | ||
| It's been nuts. | ||
| You guys are awesome. | ||
| Yeah, really. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Can't believe it. | ||
| Also, I want to say thanks to whoever sent this book. | ||
| Starship Trooper. | ||
| I never read the book, but I hear the book is way more legit than the movie. | ||
| So I'm stoked. | ||
| I think this is going to work its way around the house. | ||
| People are all like, definitely. | ||
| Are you reading that? | ||
| I'm like, I'm reading it back off. | ||
| So I'm going to read this. | ||
| So I'm excited about that. | ||
| We have 10k likes. | ||

Thank you. | |
| Follow at Sour Patch Lids, L-Y-D-S, for spicy memes. | ||
| And we're gonna be hanging out for a little bit longer, but Adam's gonna play some music. | ||
| So let me just put it this way. | ||
| Normally, at this time, we would just say goodbye and turn it off. | ||
| Because it's Friday night, because we're all musicians, Adam and I, for the past couple of weeks, have been jamming out with a couple songs. | ||
| So, I'm not going to play tonight, because last week, we've been recording music, because we want to actually put out some legit songs. | ||
| I'm looking for an animator to animate this War Story song. | ||
| And so I'm not going to sing tonight, but we'll have Adam play a couple songs for you guys. | ||
| For those who want to stick around, hang out, drop in some super chats, feel free to do so. | ||
| And yeah, let's see if we can get the audio working for Adam here real quick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, let's do this. | |
| Does it sound good? | ||
| Sounds good. | ||
| So I've been playing all my... | ||
| I want to play covers, but we can't play covers. | ||
| So I want to play Country Roads for you guys right now. | ||
| So many people have asked me. | ||
| I've learned the song. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I'll record it on Instagram and post it on Instagram. | ||
| So you can actually hear me play the song. | ||
| But I'm gonna keep with my own stuff. | ||
| So this is something I wrote. | ||
| It's called A Love Story's Remains. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, hello miss, I'd love to kiss your lovely name. | |
| The things I'd do to get you dancing in the rain. | ||
| I want a piece or say you want the same. | ||
| A love story remains. | ||
| I know we'll go through some hard times. | ||
| And I'll always be there if I can. | ||
| But there's a chance we're not like mine. | ||
| So this love story may end. | ||
| I'm just being honest. | ||
| I'm just being honest with myself. | ||
| I'm gonna miss the way you kiss under the rain. | ||
| All the times you saved me, but that love don't feel the same. | ||
| I wanted peace, so you wanted me to change. | ||
| Only connected when you're calling out my name. | ||
| I know we've been through some hard times. | ||
| Those times have forced us to find ourselves. | ||
| Oh, honesty is my policy. | ||
| Yeah, we might be better with someone else. | ||
| I'm just being honest. | ||
| I'm just being honest with myself. | ||
| Well, come and sit. | ||
| Let's take a trip down memory lane. | ||
| If I had to choose, baby, I wouldn't change a thing. | ||
| Cause I found peace, oh look you found the same In the rubble of the remains A love story's remains I found a peace of mind Something you helped me find Just be honest. | ||
| Just be honest with yourself Thank you! | ||
| Appreciate that. | ||
| Now I'm kind of like, I have a bunch of songs that are kind of not really finished, and I usually would cover a song at this point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Takin' It Back. | |
| You want me to play Takin' It Back? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Takin' It Back. | |
| This is Tim's favorite song of mine, I believe. | ||
| It's a good song. | ||
| I guess I'll just play that. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I was not really sure where to go after that one. | ||
| But thank you for continuing to stay here and watch me play. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is called Taking It Back. | |
| If I was a younger man, I'd probably make the same mistake twice. | ||
| The closer the heart is, the harder it becomes to do what's right. | ||
| Even through the thick and thin, secretly we want to Well, I'm takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back. | ||
| It's time to confess our sins. | ||
| Whoa, before the world you've built crumbles away. | ||
| I've spent some time lost in my mind disappointed. | ||
| Well that's just the sting from expecting and that's what you get. | ||
| Oh, it happens all the time A high tide of the mind | ||
| Struggling for oxygen Oh, and taking it back, taking it back, taking it back | ||
| Is the only option Oh, before the world | ||
| It crumbles away It started with cold feet, let me begin again | ||
| Hindsight's obviously the clearest option. | ||
| I'm taking it back with all that I believe in. | ||
| Everything happens, I won't fight the reason. | ||
| You say you've learned from your mistakes that you're experienced | ||
| And then comes the day from left field as they say Has left you in a daze Oh, it happens all the time | ||
| That high tide of the mind struggling for oxygen Oh, and taking it back, taking it back, taking it back | ||
| Is the only option Oh, before the world you built crumbles away | ||
| It started with cold feet, let me begin again Hindsight's obviously the clearest option | ||
| I'm taking it back with all that I believe in Anything happens, I won't fight the reasons. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You know, I kind of want to play one more, actually. | ||
| This is the one I just love playing, this one. | ||
| It makes me feel really good and it reminds me of a really good moment in my life and it's just about good, good stuff. | ||

| Fix the microphones here. | ||
| So that's it, man. | ||
| That's Friday night. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out, everybody. | ||
| Like, share, subscribe, all that good stuff. | ||
| We will be back next week, Monday through Friday, 8pm. | ||
| You can follow at Timcast, at Adam Krigler, at Sour Patch Lids, L-Y-D-S. | ||
| We put up clips from the show so we break them apart and you'll probably find them popping up. | ||
| But you can catch the live show Monday through Friday at 8pm. | ||
| And Friday night is jam night. | ||
| Unfortunately, no jamming for me. | ||
| That's okay. | ||
| None for me. | ||
| But maybe next week. | ||
| And we're really working on it. | ||
| Definitely next week. | ||
| We're working on getting these songs recorded, so that's actually a process going through right now. | ||
| These things take time, unfortunately, but I'm also looking for a good animator. | ||
| Somebody emailed me before I lost their email. | ||
| I feel really bad because it was great stuff, but we'll wrap it up there. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out, everybody. | ||
| Stick around, and we will see you with clips tomorrow on this channel, so make sure to subscribe, but we'll be back live Monday at 8 p.m. | ||
| Adios. |
