How's it going everybody? | |
Welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast. | ||
We are in a civil war, according to some professor. | ||
That'll be fun. | ||
But in the meantime, we're just going to hang out and talk about it. | ||
So I'm hanging out with some buddies. | ||
You know how we do. | ||
We just hang out and talk about stuff. | ||
What's up, everybody? | ||
Adam Krigler here. | ||
Hey, thanks for coming up. | ||
We also have the? | ||
Sour Patch Lids. | ||
Lydia. | ||
There you go. | ||
Why don't you pull that sucker about a fist distance away from your face? | ||
Yeah, there you go. | ||
Pull that sucker in there. | ||
Thanks, Joe. | ||
Couldn't hear you. | ||
Thanks, Joe. | ||
What's up, everybody? | ||
unidentified
|
Hey! | |
Yeah, we're just chillin'. | ||
So, if you... We got a bunch of stories. | ||
There's like an occupied... Antifa occupied zone in Seattle, which is kind of funny. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And also kind of scary in some ways. | ||
You don't like that. | ||
I think a lot of people might underestimate how nuts these people are. | ||
They're walking around in body armor with guns, apparently. | ||
Yeah, I don't really- what is their endgame? | ||
Are they gonna- Revolution. | ||
Is that just their new little city? | ||
Uh, they will take as much as they can get. | ||
I wouldn't be surprised if they start pushing the barriers back. | ||
Yeah, but how are they gonna get into the supply chain of food and regular stuff? | ||
They're LARPing. | ||
Ah, that makes sense. | ||
We'll see how that plays out. | ||
So, uh, we got a bunch of other stories though, you know, crime is skyrocketing, Chicago is- man is Chicago messed up. | ||
Yeah, Chicago's going crazy. | ||
It's not surprising, actually. | ||
Yeah, there's a local politician in Chicago who was, like, slamming the mayor, Lori Lightfoot, and then she just cussed him out, and then he cussed back, and it was just, it's chaos in that city, man. | ||
Yeah, it's crazy. | ||
He was talking about dudes walking around with AKs in the city, looking to settle some scores. | ||
Like, it's the Purge, dude! | ||
And that's what ended up happening. | ||
So then, they're canceling the show Cops. | ||
Seriously. | ||
Democrats are freaking out trying to walk away from this defund the police thing. | ||
Like the greatest gift to Donald Trump ever. | ||
Seriously. | ||
Like, you've got people calling for abolishing the police and defunding the police while | ||
riots are wreaking havoc across the country. | ||
Talk about a campaign ad for Trump. | ||
What were they thinking? | ||
It felt like the Democrats let loose a monster they had no idea. | ||
It's like they hired the Joker. | ||
Yeah, they've done this before. | ||
That's what I tweeted. | ||
Oh, right? | ||
Is that what you did? | ||
Yeah, Trump squeezed them. | ||
He hammered them and made them desperate. | ||
In their desperation, they turned to a group of people they didn't quite understand. | ||
So, if you are just tuning in, make sure you smash that like button. | ||
unidentified
|
Smash that like button! | |
Smash it! | ||
Also, for those of you that very much enjoy... So I got really into that one. | ||
I'm not sorry. | ||
For those of you that very much enjoy the UFO, we have a new t-shirt called Spin the UFO! | ||
And if you go to the description below, you can click the merch link, and there it is. | ||
There is a Spin the UFO t-shirt. | ||
You can pick yours up. | ||
That's our plug for the show. | ||
Also, Get in your superchats if you'd like, because we're going to talk about a bunch of crazy stuff. | ||
I want to read this article from Prospect, from the founder. | ||
He's like a liberal, progressive professor. | ||
And he writes about all the different factions in Civil War, so get your questions in. | ||
We won't be able to get to every single superchat, but we will read through as many as we can. | ||
And yeah, usually first come, first serve, so the sooner you get in, the better. | ||
But we do jump ahead later on in the show. | ||
Adam is getting the UFO spinning for all of you. | ||
Yes. | ||
Well, someone super chatted, spin the UFO. | ||
Well, there you go. | ||
That's what I was waiting for. | ||
And actually, I didn't realize that they could see the UFO without being the wide shot, the super shot. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Can they? | ||
Yeah, look, go to Tim. | ||
Oh, hold on. | ||
Boom. | ||
A little bit. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, it was not spinning. | ||
It was clearly not spinning, and that is not OK. | ||
Now it is spinning. | ||
So, and you were talking about the t-shirt, I was like, well, you know. | ||
We also got this thing, you see this? | ||
Oh yeah, this is really neat. | ||
Another Instagram ad, huh? | ||
No, I got this on Amazon. | ||
This is a periodic table with all the actual elements except for the radioactive ones. | ||
I wish I could zoom in. | ||
I've seen an Instagram ad for that. | ||
This desk is just gonna be one big Instagram ad one day. | ||
I got this on Amazon, bro. | ||
Just kidding, dude. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I don't know. | |
A collection of Curios. | ||
Yeah, I was looking for knickknacks. | ||
There we go. | ||
Knickknacks! | ||
Yes. | ||
Welcome to the Civil War, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Or at least, that's what the professor says. | ||
Why don't we just start talking about this here article? | ||
Yeah, let's talk about it. | ||
Let's check out this thing. | ||
You know, when I first saw this, I was curious because there have been a lot of people, for one, who have rolled their eyes shrugged and said, there's no Civil War. | ||
Oh my god, Tim, you're so dumb. | ||
So dramatic. | ||
You're so dramatic. | ||
And I'm like, bro, I didn't just one day make up that there's a civil war. | ||
I didn't sit in my room and be like, would it be cool if there was a civil war? | ||
And I started saying it. | ||
No, it was like the New York Magazine wrote about it. | ||
After all of these street conflicts, they wrote about the prospect of a potential, of a coming civil war. | ||
And I read this and I'm like, wow, that's crazy. | ||
People are actually saying this might happen. | ||
Then you get the article from the Atlantic on Thucydides' trap in China and all this stuff. | ||
Bill Maher comes out. | ||
Bill Maher, like last year he was like, this kind of rhetoric is getting dangerous and it's escalated to the point where we're on the verge of a civil war or something like that. | ||
So it's like all these people are talking about it and now we have an actual professor. | ||
What's interesting about this article is this professor is actually like anti-Trump lefty. | ||
So his perspective on it is really interesting and what I find The most fascinating about it is clearly he views himself as the righteous, virtuous, you know, good guy. | ||
Right. | ||
And he views every other faction as the bad guys, the deplorables, whatever. | ||
Trump is corrupt and using the political powers for personal gain and all this other nonsense. | ||
What's fascinating about this mentality is, you know, we here on this show probably find ourselves more on the libertarian spectrum opposed to what these people represent. | ||
You know, I think the simple way to put it is, orange man bad, but not that bad. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
It's like the easiest way to put it. | ||
And, so I often question myself, like, are we, you know, who's the right side? | ||
Who's the real? | ||
Are we the baddies? | ||
Not so much the baddies, because, you know, people think there's good guys and bad guys. | ||
unidentified
|
There aren't. | |
Yeah. | ||
But it's so, it's more like, who's blind? | ||
Who's wrong? | ||
You know, who's wrong? | ||
And really, history is written by the victors, so. | ||
Both sides have blind people. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, but... Just believe him because they want to believe it. | ||
Sure, sure. | ||
But I think I'm right. | ||
He thinks he's right. | ||
I think he's wrong. | ||
I think he's very wrong. | ||
And I think he probably gets his media from... his information is distilled through a lens of insanity. | ||
So I actually read the same news he does, and I read the same news that conservatives do, and then I'm like, oh, clearly this is what's happening. | ||
These people on the left only get their news from these particular sources, and so they end up getting, you know, this skewed perception on what's really going on in the world. | ||
Let's read this article. | ||
It's a little bit. | ||
I want to go. | ||
He talks about the factions, which is really interesting. | ||
Here's what he says. | ||
See, I don't agree with that. | ||
That's the central driver? | ||
War as it has come since 1861 and once again the central driver is America's founding stain, | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
deep persistent brutal racism. See I don't agree with that. | ||
That's the central driver? No, no it's not. It's a strong start. Right so so that's but it's | ||
good because it's his perspective. | ||
Right, he's setting it up. | ||
He thinks we are this awful racist country. | ||
No way, man. | ||
America is one of the least racist countries on the planet. | ||
Coming from someone who's been to a bunch of them. | ||
Right. | ||
I mean, like, I think Japan's awesome. | ||
Love Japan? | ||
Super racist. | ||
Very racist. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah. | ||
I'm part Korean. | ||
Korea's great. | ||
Ridiculously racist. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
Like, dude, Korean racism is... wow! | ||
They're like ethno-supremacists, man. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah, they think they're like the supreme race. | ||
Not all of them. | ||
They've been getting kind of like, you know, chilled out. | ||
But it has a lot to do with how the Koreans were essentially enslaved, you know, occupied by the Japanese. | ||
Okay. | ||
So they created this identity as a way to resist, you know, the Japanese oppression and stuff like that. | ||
Now they view themselves as like the best. | ||
And, you know, I mean this with all due respect, South Korea, But when I went there, they had this museum talking about | ||
their great general. | ||
This is really, really funny. | ||
They were talking about all the great battles he won. | ||
And they show you like the first battle of his great victory, and he's got like 50 ships. | ||
And then they were like, it was a tremendous day for a general, whatever. | ||
And then it was like, the next great victory occurred, and he had 10 ships. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
And then the next great victory had three ships. | ||
And I'm like, what they're not telling you is how many times he lost between those great victories. | ||
So, you know, so they're writing their history. | ||
Uh, but anyway, I, for me, I think what's driving this is authoritarianism versus libertarianism. | ||
That's, that's, that's the main driver. | ||
Because for me, I'm all about freedom, liberty, civil rights, and all that. | ||
And the opposing factions throw that all out the window. | ||
Let's keep reading and see what he says. | ||
He says the current civil war doesn't have front lines that you can track on a map like the pins in Franklin Roosevelt's World War II maps. | ||
It's more of a guerrilla civil war like Vietnam's that breaks out anywhere and everywhere. | ||
But while its front lines are diffuse, they are real. | ||
They include every demonstration with peaceful protesters on one side of the line and coiled vicious cops on the other. | ||
Now see, here's another problem with his point of view. | ||
What about when a bunch of Trump supporters go to a park to wave little American flags, and then Antifa shows up and beats the crap out of them? | ||
Or the rioters that have nothing to do with the peaceful protesters. | ||
Yeah. | ||
This guy's clearly got a skewed perspective. | ||
That's the point. | ||
We'll keep reading. | ||
What? | ||
It's the White House. | ||
I'm so confused right now. | ||
Yeah, for a long time. | ||
Obama's fortress. | ||
mansion. | ||
Where there is... | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
It's the White House. | ||
It's the White House. | ||
I'm so confused right now. | ||
You know, it's been that way for a long time, right? | ||
Yeah, for a long time. | ||
Trump didn't make it a fortress. | ||
Obama's fortress. | ||
Obama's fortress. | ||
What? | ||
There is a literal struggle for who is in charge of the streets of our capital city. | ||
Donald Trump or D.C.' 's nervy mayor Muriel Bowser. | ||
Now that's fair. | ||
They are fighting. | ||
We've seen it in countless other cities where other progressive mayors are forced to admit they can't control their own rogue police forces. | ||
And I will counter that by saying they also can't control rogue factions that literally have seized a seven block radius in Seattle calling it a free zone or whatever. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The essence of a civil war is rival between claimants to the legitimate right to use force. | ||
And we are now on the brink of a situation where the force will confront force, as Trump tries to use the military against unwilling governors and state national guards. | ||
But that's just ridiculous because Trump isn't going to use the military. | ||
This guy's living in Wally World. | ||
The fault lines include the trench warfare between the honorable leaders of our country's armed services, who resist this illegitimate use, and Trump's own efforts to commandeer the military for an armed occupation of the country. | ||
In much of the world, this kind of a standoff ends with a military coup, does it? | ||
There was a civil war of American democracy versus Trump's paramilitary stormtroopers, many of whom are armed and prepared to resort to force to keep Trump in office. | ||
That's just called law enforcement. | ||
either by disrupting the election, what? | ||
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
Or by making it impossible for an elected successor to take office. | ||
Is what paramilitary stormtroopers? | ||
Right, this is getting a little ridiculous, man. | ||
This is a professor at a university. | ||
Yeah, dude. | ||
He's got a Wikipedia page. | ||
Is that what it is? | ||
Is prospect, prospect magazine or whatever. | ||
This is not some fringe. | ||
No name. | ||
I mean, he's a Professor dude, what does he teach? | ||
This is what he but what is he saying? | ||
Oh, yeah, all I see is a bunch of just opinions. | ||
Yeah, so far He's like this is what was happening. | ||
But it's where's your where's your proof? | ||
You're not backing it up with stuff. | ||
You're just spouting stuff That's why I said in the beginning. | ||
I'm right. | ||
He's wrong Yeah, okay, carry on. | ||
unidentified
|
Journalism? | |
Yeah, it was... Yeah, what's his name? | ||
I know, I sent you the link. | ||
or influences as a professor. | ||
Journalism? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I think he's a journalism professor. | ||
You want to look him up? | ||
Yeah, what's his name? | ||
His name is Robert Kutner. | ||
I know, I sent you the link. | ||
Yeah, K-U-T-T-N-E-R. | ||
Yeah, alright, thanks. | ||
But no, this is the interesting part. | ||
He says, the lines include Trump and his White House loyalists versus the so-called deep | ||
state made up of people serving in government who work to uphold the law, risking their | ||
jobs if they offend our would-be dictator. | ||
Amazing. | ||
The incipient civil war reflects a polarization of society along party lines, but contrary to a lot of commentary, the polarization is anything but symmetrical. | ||
One party has shown itself willing to destroy democratic institutions for partisan gain. | ||
Yeah, it's a Democrat. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I know. | |
Is he talking about Democrats? | ||
I think he is. | ||
The Civil War is also cultural, with two deeply antagonistic cultures, each convinced that the other is ruinous. | ||
But one of those cultures, despite its professed religiosity, is increasingly nihilist. | ||
This is really, really funny. | ||
What he's saying is so similar to what people say about them. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's like he's projecting. | ||
Yeah, or it doesn't matter who's right or wrong. | ||
Literally doesn't. | ||
Because people are convinced that they're the moral superiors. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
And then war breaks out. | ||
100%. | ||
Did you look him up? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Oh, so he does teach, yeah. | ||
Hold on. | ||
Journalism? | ||
Yeah, he's an American journalist and writer whose works present a liberal-slash-progressive point of view. | ||
Oh, you're telling me. | ||
unidentified
|
Thanks, Wikipedia. | |
This guy doesn't even have Google. | ||
Yeah, man. | ||
This guy gets his opinions straight out of a can. | ||
Love it. | ||
His opinions come from, like, a distilled NPR feed right to his ears. | ||
Seriously. | ||
Very original. | ||
At a more fundamental level, the Civil War is deeply racial, in a way that evokes the fraught period that prefigured America's one true civil war. | ||
From about 1820 right up until the Confederacy attacked Fort Sumter in April 1861, the slave-holding South never accepted federal power if there was the slightest chance that the national government would interfere with slavery. | ||
The doctrine of nullification, ostensibly about tariffs, was really about slavery. | ||
I don't care to read about whatever that is. | ||
Anyway, you know what, man? | ||
Let's read the end. | ||
He is starting the rallies again. | ||
behind White House walls is emblematic of his increasing political isolation. But he and his | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
followers still have immense power to wreak havoc. I mean, didn't Trump just go on a bunch of trips? | ||
And isn't he planning now a bunch of rallies? Starting the rallies again. This dude doesn't | ||
have Google, does he? No. And he writes like this, you know, he doesn't want Google. | ||
There will not be a coup d'etat, either by the military to oust Trump or by Trump to shut down | ||
Congress and recalcitrant governors and mayors. | ||
What there will be is ongoing trench warfare, over five more agonizing months. | ||
We will then learn whether the power of an aroused people can keep a dictator at bay, and even if Trump is defeated, residual racism and hatred will linger. | ||
Man, this guy's teaching kids. | ||
Journalism. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Yeah. | ||
Journalism. | ||
That's ridiculous. | ||
more apt. The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new | ||
cannot be born. In this interregnum, a great variety of morbid symptoms appear." | ||
Man, this guy is teaching kids. | ||
Journalism. Yes. Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Journalism. | |
That's ridiculous. | ||
So that explains a lot. | ||
It's interesting what he said at the end, though, that the old won't die and the new | ||
is trying to be born. | ||
That's interesting. | ||
The argument that progress is always a good—like, you know, I hate the way they frame that, but there's this argument that progress, for the sake of progress, is the right way to go. | ||
Like, it's possible progress can be a bad thing. | ||
It's possible that tradition can be a good thing. | ||
It's possible that tradition can be a bad thing as well, and progress can be a good thing. | ||
I think in this country we've had a lot of great progress. | ||
Civil rights, for instance. | ||
Definitely. | ||
We've come a long way as a country. | ||
And, you know, basically the way I see how it works is you don't want to just hold on to tradition blindly. | ||
It helped you get to where you are, but you've got to keep reevaluating what you're doing and adapt and improve. | ||
And that's progress. | ||
Reform. | ||
unidentified
|
Reform. | |
Hey, that's what this country's all about, man. | ||
Several decades of reform. | ||
Or I should say, you know, more than several decades. | ||
Centuries, yeah. | ||
Where we've consistently reformed everything. | ||
We had a war over some of that reform. | ||
And never really a hard revolution or revolt where people just like wiped out our laws. | ||
Well, that's what this is, I guess. | ||
I was reading an article last night about how Antifa, they've been infiltrating high schools and colleges and trying to gather, you know, more people there because they're young and ignorant and they have no idea. | ||
That's a fact. | ||
And then we got professors like this spouting this kind of stuff. | ||
These professors have been doing this thing for a long, long time, though. | ||
Dude, the guy behind the bike lock was a professor. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
This guy also went to... Robert Putner also went to Berkeley. | ||
I don't remember the guy with the bike locks. | ||
The bike lock basher. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Do you know the bike lock basher is? | ||
Is that the board you made? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Is that about that story? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah. | ||
OK. | ||
OK. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Can we show that? | ||
No. | ||
No, we can't show it? | ||
Even for... just for our audience? | ||
I don't want to do it. | ||
unidentified
|
No? | |
I got in trouble. | ||
I got in trouble. | ||
I tried. | ||
I want to show you guys. | ||
I think... I think the joke was lost. | ||
And I recognize that it probably was in poor taste. | ||
Yeah, Eric Clanton. | ||
and other year probation deal. So here's the joke. I they wrote liberals get the bullet to on a wall in | ||
Berkeley. So I designed this you know sunburst graphic using | ||
the revolution fist and put a bike lock in its hand and it says liberals get the bike lock to and it | ||
was supposed to be making fun of them because they're pathetic and violent. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And, yeah, YouTube was not happy. | ||
They were like, people who don't understand the context, like, this is the way it kind of came off, are going to think you're literally saying to go bash liberals because they don't understand what this is supposed to be a reference to. | ||
A little nuanced. | ||
Right. | ||
And I'm like, that's actually a good point. | ||
Like, it sounds like I'm saying bash liberals at the bike clock. | ||
Cause that's what they were saying, but I was making fun of them. | ||
So yeah. | ||
So, you know, anyway. | ||
Well, there you have it. | ||
This guy bashed seven people over the head with a bike lock and then he basically gets off, you know, but yeah. | ||
So at Berkeley, it's interesting. | ||
You bring up the high school thing because there's a high school right next to that park. | ||
And some kids came out when this protest was going on and they were complaining to a lot of the people there that the teachers force them to, uh, agree with social justice. | ||
Like it's a religious class. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I've seen this. | ||
Yeah, this kid was telling me that, like, they will tell you to write an essay about, you know, your white privilege or something, and then when you're like, I don't believe that's a thing, F. Wow. | ||
Yeah, it's like, what? | ||
White privilege is not a fact, but they claim it is. | ||
No, it's not. | ||
It's critical race theory or some other nonsense. | ||
So you're gonna have... I don't know, man. | ||
I think, in that regard, we might end up seeing a bunch of kids reject all of this. | ||
Yeah, isn't Gen Z already rejecting a bunch of it? | ||
Some of them. | ||
Well, yeah. | ||
Not all of them. | ||
Yeah, because a lot of, you know, kids rebel, you know? | ||
So you get a bunch of millennials who are like, what, in their mid-30s now, telling these, you know, 15-year-olds who are 20 years younger that, you can't say those things, you can't say that, and so what are the kids gonna do? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
Seriously. | ||
Like, some of these millennials, like, Gen Z are their kids. | ||
You got a 35-year-old woman whose name is Karen, and she's an SJW millennial, and she had a kid when she was 20, and the kid's now... Yeah, and he's like, shut up, Mom, you're dumb! | ||
You're so stupid, Karen! | ||
You had a kid when you were 15? | ||
Why can't I? | ||
Jake Tapper... | ||
Apparently said, I think it was Jake Tapper, I could be wrong, that his kid calls him fake news when he gets mad at him. | ||
That's amazing. | ||
He's like, you're fake news! | ||
That's really funny, okay. | ||
That means you understand this kid is being influenced by... President Trump? | ||
Yeah, by Trump and by, you know, so... That's awesome. | ||
This is actually really interesting because there's one stat that I like to cite from Pew. | ||
Gen Z is the first generation in like a hundred years to be more conservative than the last. | ||
That's great. | ||
They're only slightly more conservative. | ||
They're actually a little bit more progressive on some things, but then conservative on other issues. | ||
That gives me a slight amount of hope. | ||
Just a little bit. | ||
Just as you said, just a little bit more. | ||
I think millennials are like a lost generation. | ||
Yep. | ||
yeah yeah i'm like uh i am right on the cusp i was 84 so no that's millennial well it used to be it used to be 85 then it was 84 no now it's 83 no it keep trust me i've been watching it man it's been it's been pushed being pushed there's different further and further back there's different schools i remember click tvs all right i had to go and change to the tv right i had that when i was little my goodness okay yeah all right it's millennial Yeah, millennial was supposed to be like coming of age in the year 2000 or something like that. | ||
Right. | ||
And so I think by some standards, it's like 1980. | ||
Okay. | ||
Yeah, my sister is a millennial. | ||
It pushes back a little further. | ||
Yeah, because Gen Xers were, like, graduating college in the early to mid 90s. | ||
Okay. | ||
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's right. | ||
Like, the Gen Xers were born in the 70s, right? | ||
Yeah, I want to say, like, late 60s to almost up to 80, because each generation is technically about 20 years. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Man, so Gen X is now, what, 50 and 60 or whatever? | ||
No, Gen X is, like, late 40s, early 50s, I think. | ||
Old people! | ||
They're all boomers. | ||
It seems like the consensus is 82. | ||
A lot of people are posting right now about what a millennial is. | ||
Millennials? | ||
I guess that would make sense. | ||
unidentified
|
81. | |
A lot of 81s. | ||
So maybe that's it. | ||
The reason I think this is like, what do millennials do? | ||
They complain a lot. | ||
Myself included. | ||
They're not running for office for the most part. | ||
I don't like to complain. | ||
That always bugs me about people complaining. | ||
I'm like, well, hey, what have you done to fix that? | ||
Well, nothing. | ||
I'm just complaining. | ||
I was like, all right, well, stop complaining to me then. | ||
What's your plan to fix it? | ||
I always like moving forward and figuring out a way forward. | ||
I don't like wallowing, sitting and wallowing in your misery. | ||
I mean, I've been there before, but then I've learned over my life. | ||
It's like, it's better to look forward and be like, I can either change it or I can't. | ||
And those are your two options. | ||
Maybe a better way to put it is they have no purpose. | ||
True. | ||
If you don't have a purpose, then you can't even see the future. | ||
Totally agree with you. | ||
Yeah, they don't do anything. | ||
I mean, it's crazy because most of the people I know are kind of living the same way I am. | ||
No kids, no family. | ||
Kind of winging it? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know what it is, man. | ||
I blame the boomers. | ||
unidentified
|
It's all their fault. You blame the boomers. I blame the boomers. Yeah, because they were the hippies. They had hippie | |
kids. | ||
See, this is the thing. It's like everyone always wants that. They want to blame someone. | ||
Well, no, not me. I want to blame anyone else. I don't care. | ||
I'm going to find the person to blame. | ||
There's always someone to blame. It's like, alright, look, we're all in this together. | ||
Society is the way it is. | ||
How do we move forward together and figure it out? | ||
I don't want to blame anyone. | ||
I'm part of the problem. | ||
Everyone's part of the problem. | ||
Everybody is. | ||
Everyone can make a choice to move forward together. | ||
We've got to figure out how to do that and stop blaming. | ||
But I think the first thing is, when I say I blame them, I'm really referencing that You know, is it really a problem we don't live the way our grandparents lived? | ||
I mean, think about it though. | ||
World War I, then there was the Great Depression, and then World War II. | ||
So that was like a 50 year span, you know? | ||
Less, maybe 30, 40 years, you know? | ||
Life was not Incredibly hard. | ||
Right? | ||
After World War II, it's like, they were like, wow, this is what life is like now. | ||
We don't, we're not at war. | ||
Now we get to live and just have babies. | ||
I don't blame them for having all the boomer, the boom, you know, it makes sense. | ||
So then how did we get here now? | ||
You know, it's because of that. | ||
So it's not necessarily their fault. | ||
They're just, there was just this wave. | ||
It's just up and down and up and down through the years. | ||
Now we're here. | ||
And the bad times come next. | ||
People want to blame others, though, instead of just, we gotta come together, yo. | ||
Well, no, the point I was gonna make is, blame them for what, I guess? | ||
Like, if every generation is different based on their circumstances, then maybe this is just it, who cares? | ||
I think! | ||
I have a theory. | ||
Okay, I have a theory. | ||
So, boomers really, really wanted millennials to never suffer anything at all, right? | ||
Because their parents, boomers' parents, went through some really, really hard times. | ||
Like the Depression, and World War II, and everything. | ||
So they wanted their kids to do well. | ||
They spoiled the boomers, the boomers spoiled the millennials. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
You're missing a link between... Is it Gen X? | ||
Who's between the Boomers and Millennials? | ||
Well, the Boomers give birth to the Millennials. | ||
And then the Gen X come from, I think, what? | ||
The generation before Boomers. | ||
What was that? | ||
Was it the Greatest? | ||
I want to say the Greatest Generation. | ||
Yeah. | ||
We got a screaming kid in here now. | ||
Oh my gosh, what is happening? | ||
He's screaming. | ||
He wants to go outside. | ||
He's spoiled. | ||
He is, yes. | ||
Yeah, I think... Was it Greatest? | ||
Yeah, I think Greatest. | ||
Hold on, let me look. | ||
The greatest generation had... So wait, who had... No, no, wait. | ||
I don't know my generation. | ||
They're confusing. | ||
Was the silent generation had the boomers? | ||
Let me check. | ||
I don't know, man. | ||
You know, it's silly that we try to lump everyone together because, you know, everyone who's born in a different year goes through such a drastic difference. | ||
Right. | ||
And then we got to think about where they're living, you know, what kind of environment they've grown up with, you know, their family situation. | ||
Everyone's so different, drastically different. | ||
You know, it doesn't matter what generation you are. | ||
There's definitely lazy people and awesome, motivated people and, you know, a-holes. | ||
It doesn't matter. | ||
They're everywhere. | ||
You know about the generational theory? | ||
unidentified
|
What about it? | |
I forgot what it's called. | ||
It's called something something generational theory where it's like every there's like four steps you know every 20 years something like this. | ||
Okay. | ||
And that always ends in some like great war or catastrophe or like mass death. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Strauss-Howe? | ||
Yeah is that what it is? | ||
The fourth turning theory or simply the fourth turning describes a theorized recurring generation cycle in American history and global history. | ||
Yeah so aren't we on track for like 2020 to be like war? | ||
Well, that's what that guy's article was about. | ||
The one where we were talking about... You want to pull up that Strauss thing? | ||
Yeah, hold on. | ||
But don't you think we can break the cycle? | ||
You know, we're at a time of... We're together. | ||
Social media. | ||
We weren't ready for it, but we've got it. | ||
It's here. | ||
You know, we can connect. | ||
We've got all this available. | ||
Hey, Boku. | ||
unidentified
|
There's a Boku-san. | |
There's a kitty. | ||
I don't know if he wants to. | ||
No, I think it's too late. | ||
You think it's too late? | ||
Yeah, I think the generation before the boomers had the opportunity to make sure that we didn't enter the whiny baby cycle of the generational theory. | ||
Basically, you have a whole generation of people who have never experienced hardship. | ||
That's true. | ||
And so they're extremely spoiled and don't know. | ||
Their hardship is not having internet. | ||
Their hardship is I said a naughty word. | ||
I kid you not. | ||
It's like even worse. | ||
You say a naughty word and they cry. | ||
Did you see that viral video of the woman crying because she got a Trump email? | ||
Yes. | ||
Dude, what is wrong with these people? | ||
And she doesn't look like a millennial. | ||
She looks like she's in her 20s. | ||
Or the other video where the girl was driving and someone flicked her off. | ||
Yeah, their mom went like hunting down and like told her mom and her you see you just see the mom Karen like storm | ||
Pastor like whoa, it's like in there's flames coming off of that Karen | ||
It's like it's like in Dragon Ball Z when Goku goes Super Saiyan, but instead the hair turns into the Karen | ||
unidentified
|
She finds the car did you flick off my daughter? Yeah, no that was she really thinking she's gonna find the car | |
No idea what she was thinking. | ||
unidentified
|
What was your plan? | |
Come on! | ||
It reminds me of that comic I was talking about the other day, where it's like, back then, the teacher says, your child is failing, and the parents look at the kid and say, what did you do? | ||
And then it's like, now, the teacher says, your child's failing, and they look at the teacher and say, what did you do? | ||
Right. | ||
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
It's your fault our precious snowflake can do no wrong. | ||
It feels like it's slowly getting rid of the First Amendment. | ||
The freedom of speech. | ||
Like, what happened to that? | ||
Like, I don't care who you are. | ||
unidentified
|
It's gone. | |
It feels like it. | ||
Like, you should be able to say whatever. | ||
And like, we gotta have thick skin. | ||
It's like, say whatever. | ||
I don't care what you say. | ||
Because what you say doesn't affect me. | ||
That is gone. | ||
Not anymore. | ||
There's a new religion, buddy. | ||
No, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
I disagree. | ||
It's not gone. | ||
It's gone among a certain amount of people, yes, sure. | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
But in the general public, I don't think so. | ||
So when you can't go to church without being fined or arrested, but Black Lives Matter can go on protest, that's called the government enforcing morality policing. | ||
Yeah, and it's pissing a lot of people off. | ||
I've seen countless people just like, we're done with this. | ||
No, wait, I don't believe it, man. | ||
I see so many people. | ||
Look, how many thousands? | ||
I mean, maybe, maybe. | ||
Maybe we're just seeing the vocal minority out in the streets screaming. | ||
I think so. | ||
I see all the posts on Facebook, and I ask some of these people, like, don't you see a contradiction in the government targeting these, you know, people who want to go to church, but you being allowed? | ||
And they said, well, we're fighting injustice. | ||
We're more important. | ||
People can go to church whenever they want. | ||
Yep. | ||
It's like you do you they can't think their brains don't work Yeah, so the point I was making is the previous generation had a chance to stop the cycle Okay, by making sure these kids didn't become that final You know that final generation that knows no has no understanding of how hard things really get and then cause the collapse. | ||
Yeah Then the chaos ensues everything gets bad again, and then the life sucks. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh Yeah. | |
Which brings us to our next story. | ||
That is the Strauss-Howe theory. | ||
The next story we have is about, uh, this is great. | ||
Seattle's sleepless as authorities mobilize after locals declare, quote, free zone. | ||
The free Capitol Hill zone, or the Capitol Hill free zone, is about seven city blocks in Seattle, which are currently being occupied by antifa far left types. | ||
The police have retreated. | ||
They've abandoned the east precinct in Seattle. | ||
And now these protesters, or whatever you want to call them, extremists, far left, whatever, are wearing body armor. | ||
And they're getting weapons. | ||
And they're armed. | ||
And they're extremely dumb. | ||
Yes. | ||
How long is this going to last? | ||
That's all I think. | ||
It's like we've been in Christianity together. | ||
For those who don't know, Christiania is a free state inside Copenhagen, the city of Copenhagen. | ||
They consider themselves completely separate, very similar to this, but you go in there and it's a huge plot of land. | ||
It used to be a military base that in the 70s or maybe the 60s they let go of it and then hippies moved in and slowly turned it into basically a free state. | ||
So, and it's successful. | ||
They grow food there. | ||
They have like a functioning society. | ||
And I'm looking at this and I just... I see a bunch of people that want stuff, but have no idea how to go about getting it. | ||
But they're demanding. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
Well, take a look at these photos. | ||
These are some of the photos from the article. | ||
Yeah, I'm looking at it. | ||
So you can see the barricades over here. | ||
They've got businesses. | ||
The funny thing about it is apparently they've forced the businesses inside the zone to, quote, disaffiliate from the city. | ||
Probably means nothing other than them being like, okay, we disaffiliated. | ||
But the police aren't doing anything. | ||
They're just going to let it go. | ||
I think this is, it's possible this is the right move. | ||
It's also possible that this is an extremely dangerous move. | ||
It might be the right thing because we'll let the kids maybe have his bottle, and then maybe they get tired and go home. | ||
Then they can come in and sweep things up. | ||
I don't think that's gonna happen. | ||
I think they've just been given an occupation, and like we saw with Zuccotti Park in New York, a bunch of people are probably now rushing full speed to Seattle to see the occupied zone, the free zone. | ||
I'm willing to bet all those people that went to Minnesota, drove up, are like, we gotta go to Seattle, man! | ||
There's like an anarchist thing they took over. | ||
And then you're gonna see a bunch of people with weapons, and they're gonna bolster their defenses, and they're gonna take this part of the city. | ||
And the longer it goes on, the harder it'll be for the police to actually deal with it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
This right now, considering the past week of what they're calling an uprising, or the revolution, I'm willing to bet they're all rushing full speed to Seattle right now. | ||
That wouldn't surprise me. | ||
So what are they doing? | ||
Are the police gonna wait? | ||
You know what's crazy though? | ||
Apparently, I guess the reason the cops backed off and let them have the department, the precinct, is because they received 12,000 complaints about the use of tear gas. | ||
So all of the locals in the area were like, stop. | ||
The cops were like, alright. | ||
The cops left. | ||
So what are these people going to end up doing? | ||
I think it might end up being like an Occupy Wall Street thing. | ||
It'll be there for several months, maybe. | ||
They're gonna get tons of donations, they're gonna get funds, and they're gonna stay there. | ||
That whole thing freaks me out, the donation thing, because I just learned about that. | ||
I mean, it's not really in tune with this, you know, but... What, the Act Blue thing? | ||
Yeah, the Act Blue. | ||
What is that about? | ||
So, you know, if you want to donate to Black Lives Matter, it goes into Act Blue, which is a democratic, like, donation. | ||
But is that, like, the official Black Lives Matter organization? | ||
Uh, I don't know. | ||
It's a good point. | ||
But they've gotten millions and millions of dollars. | ||
I did see, right, the organization has. | ||
Yeah, and I was reading, I mean, I looked into it, and I'm reading down, and it's like, this money is to help, like, create, like, a democratic society. | ||
And I was just like, wait, how does that, what does that have to do with Black Lives Matter? | ||
This is the Democrats, like, taking the Black Lives Matter money? | ||
What is going on? | ||
I got a question. | ||
So you know that the South was the Democrats, right? | ||
The Southern Democrats were the racists, Jim Crow. | ||
Yeah, interesting. | ||
Yeah, the Democrats was the party of the Klan and all this racism. | ||
And then you ask some of these Democrats and they'll tell you that the party's switched, like that Civil War professor guy who wrote about the Civil War. | ||
It's like, oh, but Nixon started to realize he could pander to white racists in the South to win. | ||
And it's like, well, hold on, man, hold on. | ||
When have the Democrats actually ever done anything to not be racist? | ||
It's a serious question, because they're the party of racism, they're the party of the Klan, and all these really awful things, they're remnants of the Confederacy. | ||
And then what's going on today? | ||
All of the big racism problems are literally in Democratic-controlled areas. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
You're 100% right. | ||
And then you think about, look at their frontrunner, Biden. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
What? | ||
Oh. | ||
like history of racism. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Poor kids are just as smart as white kids. | ||
It's like, yeah, you ain't wait, wait, what does that have to do with white? | ||
Like what are you talking about? | ||
Oh, but he was just being silly. | ||
You understand Joe. | ||
It's like, but this is all the time we talking about. | ||
Yeah. | ||
He says these things all the time. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Biden says some racist stuff. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
But he's, he's also got a voting history that apparently has been, has been | ||
criticized for being racist. | ||
So I'm not gonna track down Biden's voting history and argue whether it was or wasn't. | ||
He was a product of The Times for sure. | ||
But I would just ask the people who are voting for Democrats, how can you justify that your party isn't racist? | ||
How can you prove that when you're literally remnants of the Confederacy? | ||
And to this day, all of the problems of racism that you keep bringing up are in your cities. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
What are you going to change? | ||
Right now you've got Chicago, you've got a black mayor, Lori Lightfoot, you've got tons of black aldermen, and you've got rioting and destruction throughout the city. | ||
Apparently, this is crazy, we don't even know the full scale of what happened in Chicago. | ||
It's like a lot of it hasn't been covered. | ||
Apparently people were stealing buses. | ||
Wow. | ||
Like city buses, they were stealing stuff. | ||
So, why are they rioting there? | ||
It's like, it's a Democratic-controlled city with a Democratic governor and Democratic congressmen and Democratic senators, Democratic mayor. | ||
Trump's fault. | ||
Yeah, the Republicans are racist. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Like, that's just, I, look, man. | ||
And, you know, I actually just read this article earlier today about the, you know, I don't know if anyone's seen this, but a bunch of the Democrats wore these kente? | ||
Kente cloths. | ||
Kente cloths. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Right? | ||
And they were taking a knee. | ||
And all these Africans are posting these videos like, what are they wearing? | ||
How dare these people? | ||
That's not even an American thing. | ||
That's our thing. | ||
How dare you? | ||
And then I'm reading into it more. | ||
It's like those specific ones were from a tribe that had history of slavery themselves. | ||
And I was like, oh, that's bad. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
Did you hear about that? | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
No, I didn't hear about that. | ||
The cloths that they wore are specifically from a tribe that actually did slavery stuff. | ||
Oh, snap! | ||
No, is that for real? | ||
Failed virtue signal. | ||
We should confirm that one. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, hey, hey. | |
I trust Adam. | ||
I've been reading so much about all the different Africans that have been pissed off about this. | ||
It's like mad, mad Africans are pissed. | ||
They're posting all these videos talking about like, how dare they? | ||
They don't care, dude. | ||
Yeah, dude. | ||
They don't care. | ||
You can get Kanye West. | ||
They're pandering, man. | ||
One of the most successful and famous, you know, black people in this country. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Kanye rocks. | ||
And they call him mentally ill. | ||
When Kanye came out and said that he liked Trump, they ran his article saying, oh, poor Kanye. | ||
He's gone crazy. | ||
He's mentally ill. | ||
He's been a little bit crazy. | ||
Like, talk about racist, dude. | ||
Yeah, that's nuts. | ||
Yeah, come on, man. | ||
You know why they were doing it. | ||
Oh yeah. | ||
Candace Owens comes out and gives her opinion, and they say that she's a grifter and she's lying and she's wrong. | ||
Aunt Jemima? | ||
She's a white supremacist. | ||
Yes. | ||
Yeah, they call her all of these racial slurs. | ||
Dude, you know what, man? | ||
I was having a conversation with a friend about Antifa, and the funniest thing is the success of Antifa propaganda, that one, they're not really an organization, and two, it just means you're anti-fascist. | ||
And I'm like, listen, If a taxi company started a violent group that hated Uber called Anti-Uber, just because I think they're insane doesn't mean I support Uber. | ||
That's the thing. | ||
They say, we're anti-fascist. | ||
Yeah, dude, pedophiles could be anti-fascist. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
Like, just because you're claiming you're anti-fascist doesn't mean the rest of what you do is a good thing. | ||
Right. | ||
And so they claim that so they can mask the fact that they're actually associated with the communist, you know, Germany. | ||
History is communist Germans before the rise of Hitler. | ||
And then they try and recruit people with that. | ||
It works. | ||
And people are like, but are you saying you support fascism? | ||
And I'm like, What? | ||
Where did you get that? | ||
Yeah, like, thinking violence is bad. | ||
They've successfully... It's fascinating to me. | ||
The other funny thing about these people is that they've actually convinced all these high-profile personalities to be, like, showing U-boats. | ||
We talked about this the other day, didn't we? | ||
Yeah, the D-Day thing. | ||
Yeah, it's like, we were at war with Germany. | ||
Like, what are you talking about? | ||
These people are not Antifa. | ||
It's just ridiculous. | ||
Check this out. | ||
unidentified
|
This is funny. | |
So this is from Michael Tracy. | ||
He says, this is one of the individuals running the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle, no additional commentary from me needed, lol. | ||
So this individual is 18, she, they, lesbian anarchist, abolished whiteness, capitalism, and civilization. | ||

|
Cash app, generalissima. | |
Born July 10th, 2001. | ||
Oh no. | ||
Wow. | ||
Did you see the dude who stoked, one of the guys who stoked the fires at the 3rd Precinct in Milwaukee, in Minneapolis? | ||
Got caught? | ||
He got caught and he was, boy was that guy dumb as a box of rocks. | ||
Was he? | ||
I didn't see that. | ||
He stole ammo, he stole body armor, cuffs, batons, and a helmet. | ||
He was walking around wearing it. | ||
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
And some people were like... | ||
He wrote his name. | ||
He wrote his name on a dark tape and put it on the back of the armor. | ||
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
That's some bold. | |
Talk about really dumb. | ||
That is a bold strategy. | ||
Dude, these people are... Is this why I said I blame the parents, man? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Come on, man. | ||
No, look, she's 18. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Dude, I'm so glad. | ||
And you're an adult. | ||
You're an adult at 18, okay? | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
I agree. | ||
That's your responsibility. | ||
That's the way it is in this country. | ||
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
But, uh, I do think it's funny, like, born 2001, and you, like, you think you're a revolutionary, the generalissima who wants to abolish civilization. | ||
What? | ||
And capitalism with their cash out. | ||
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
Oh, yeah. | ||
I'm just saying. | ||
How can you be she and they at the same time? | ||
If you're a lesbian, you're a girl. | ||
Isn't that the case? | ||
There's no rules. | ||
But lesbian is a girl that likes girls. | ||
Only feelings. | ||
Specific. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Facts. | ||
How would it be they? | ||
Because gender identity is... Fluid? | ||
I don't know, man. | ||
There's no rules. | ||
Nothing makes sense. | ||
The other question I have is, and this is funny because I tweeted about this, and a bunch of people got really, really mad. | ||
Like it's really triggered these lefties. | ||
I asked, legitimately, why are so many anti-fascists furries? | ||
Yeah, I saw that tweet. | ||
But I'm not disparaging furries. | ||
You're actually asking, I know. | ||
It's a legitimate question. | ||
There's a really high-profile cartoon squirrel that's constantly doxing people and harassing people with tons of followers. | ||
And there's a bunch of furries. | ||
They're called fursonas, I think. | ||
Their avatar is their self-designed art of themselves as a cartoon animal. | ||
Hey man, look, I'm all about liberty, so I don't care if you're a furry, like, do whatever you want, man. | ||
You know, you keep saying, you know, blame it's the parents, they're bad parents. | ||
A lot of these young parents give their kids iPads. | ||
Here, here you go. | ||
And then what do they watch? | ||
They watch cartoons. | ||
So they grow up idolizing cartoons instead of their parents. | ||
Instead of having parents that they look up to, they're like, wow, I want to be like that person. | ||
They watch and are raised by cartoons. | ||
And they see anthropomorphized animals as society, and then ingrained in their personality. | ||
It's honestly not that surprising. | ||
But that's not my issue. | ||
It's sad. | ||
My issue isn't that people are furry. | ||
I don't care. | ||
No, no, I know. | ||
I'm just making notes. | ||
I just noticed that. | ||
Why are they Antifa? | ||
I don't know. | ||
They want purpose. | ||
Apparently there are like white supremacist furries. | ||
Okay. | ||
That's like a big thing I guess. | ||
Random, but okay. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
They have like, they have Nazi armbands, but it's a paw print instead of a swastika or | ||
whatever. | ||
I'm not kidding dude. | ||
I don't know if it's a joke or whatever. | ||
I'm just pointing it out. | ||
So if I see the paw print, I'll know what it means now. | ||
I don't know what it means. | ||
Yeah, I have no idea. | ||
I've actually never seen a furry before. | ||
No, but somebody made a good point and they said it's that the left has successfully made it so that in many communities, like gaming, movies, even in the furry community, you can't be conservative because of cancel culture and the fear that they'll attack you. | ||
So these people just shut up. | ||
And then the, and then what you end up seeing is all of this Antifa, but it doesn't really explain it. | ||
It doesn't explain how, like, I don't know. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Like, I don't, I don't know what this is, but there's a bunch of these like characters. | ||
And I'm not saying these people are furries, but there actually are some hyper people. | ||
I don't want to use their real names. | ||
Like, I don't want to, I don't want to cause a brigade or anything, but there's like some people that are actually well-known verified furries who are like very vocal about supporting Antifa. | ||
I'm like, what's that all about? | ||
Somebody mentioned, like, a lot of the right-wingers have, like, anime avatars. | ||
And I'm like, that's not really true either. | ||
It's like an eagle and, like, an American flag. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, I don't know. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Or, like, a, you know, a kek frog or something. | ||
It's like, I don't, I do see anime people, but not really. | ||
It's usually, like, these Tumblrina leftists use anime stuff. | ||
Yeah, but they're not dressing up as the characters, are they? | ||
They're not, like, full-on outfits. | ||
The conservative side. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
No, I mean, like, all of these people... Oh, right, right. | ||
I mean, well, they'll wear their, like, American flag hat and, like, you know, Trump shirt or whatever, or, like, Trump hat. | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
That's not, like... | ||
Embodying a different animal though. | ||
That's that's yeah, isn't that what furries do they like get in the full outfit? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Yeah, it's a fursuit. | ||
Yeah, apparently like really expensive I'm like a crazy lifestyle apparently they've like tried to have conventions But the people are just like nuts and we're like sabotaging plumbing or something I don't know somebody somebody posted a response like here's your understanding and I watch this video and it was really weird I think I look, I don't care what you do with your life and your free time. | ||
You know, that's why I'm like, I'm not even it's not even really about furries at all. | ||
It's about Antifa. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And what it is. | ||
One of the responses I got from a lot of people was that their Antifa are mentally ill people. | ||
You know, it's like we're talking about with the Joker the other day. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That this fringe ideology needs allies. | ||
So it seeks out vulnerable, you know, unstable individuals to support it. | ||
Just like I said earlier, I read that article. | ||
Antifa is going to high schools and colleges looking for the people that are outcasts and that don't fit into society and they're snatching them up. | ||
And what you do is you tell them the reason you don't fit in is because of Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, because Trump is a racist society. | |
It's society's fault. | ||
It's everyone else's fault. | ||
It's everyone else's fault. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
It's not your fault. | ||
I'm here for you, alright? | ||
It's not your fault. | ||
It's very subjective. | ||
How do we actually deal with that, you know? | ||
Like, what do you do? | ||
Do you, like, drop them in the middle of the woods? | ||
Make them learn how to survive or something? | ||
Take them on a camping trip? | ||
What did their parents do wrong? | ||
They weren't parents. | ||
Simple. | ||
Done. | ||
They weren't parents. | ||
All I see is as they get older and older, they're looking at the kids like, oh, that's just kids being kids. | ||
They'll grow over that. | ||
They'll get out of that phase eventually. | ||
And they don't try. | ||
They don't engage. | ||
They're just like, yeah, whatever, whatever. | ||
And then it just runs rampant. | ||
I think it's the logical conclusion of what we've been seeing over the past hundred years. | ||
It used to be, and I think you brought this up a few days ago, that you were a blacksmith, and then your kid would watch and learn and help you in the shop, and then eventually he became a blacksmith too. | ||
Then he got really good at blacksmithing. | ||
And that was a family. | ||
It was a family name, it was your family job. | ||
Then we had apprenticeships, and then it was like not just your kid, it was also other people would come and pick trades. | ||
And then it eventually became stuff all the kids in a factory. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Dust your eyes. | ||
go off and do a different job and the kids are shoveling coal into a steam engine or something. | ||
But then we started putting them in schools, institutionalized learning facilities with the | ||
bells that, you know, I've heard it's supposed to simulate factories. I don't know if that's true, | ||
where like the bell rings in the period. Oh, wow. Yeah. | ||
But you slowly take the parents away from the kids. | ||
Eventually the kids are just... Mindless drones. | ||
They don't know what they are. | ||
Right. | ||
Nowadays, companies don't want college kids anymore, right? | ||
A lot of them don't. | ||
Yeah, because they're not experienced. | ||
They're clueless. | ||
Alright, I have my degree. | ||
Okay, do this job. | ||
What do you need me to do? | ||
This job. | ||
Can you do it or not? | ||
No, you have to tell me what to do. | ||
Can't you hold my hand and show me? | ||
What about my homework? | ||
That's not what work is. | ||
My professor told me what to do. | ||
Okay. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
My professor would tell me what I had to do. | ||
And it's like, okay, bro, I, I don't know how to do that job. | ||
That's why I hired you. | ||
I've literally experienced this where I'm like, um, you know, I hired, uh, someone to specifically to manage accounting when I was working for a fusion. | ||
And they're like asking me like, what do I do? | ||
I'm like, I don't know. | ||
That's why I have a hard time with anyone building stuff for me, because I have a really high standard for the way I build stuff, whatever it is. | ||
If it's a bedroom, even running the electric, unless it's a professional person doing it, I want to do it myself, because I know how to do it. | ||
And I'd rather it done right, because if it isn't done right, I'm just going to have to do it myself. | ||
These kids aren't good at anything. | ||
They've got no skills. | ||
They are talentless blobs of nothing, and now they're angry that they don't get all of these things they can't make themselves or they can't earn. | ||
Well, it's no wonder that they're angry, because they were told their whole lives they can do anything they want. | ||
Anything you dream of, you can do. | ||
But you don't have to work for it. | ||
I'm just going to keep telling you, you can do anything. | ||
It's like, yeah, you could do anything, but you have to pick one thing and then go for that for a long time, and then eventually you get into it. | ||
The problem is the previous generation demanded we go to college. | ||
Like, like Moron Lemmings. | ||
Yep. | ||
Marching off the cliff. | ||
It's a requirement now. | ||
Yeah, I remember when I was little, my man, I'll tell you, and the Time 100, I actually had family be like, so are you going to go to college now? | ||
unidentified
|
Why? | |
Is that a joke? | ||
Are you serious? | ||
Why would you do that? | ||
Have you not seen me in the Time Magazine? | ||
I was like, I've been invited to speak at a PhD course on journalism. | ||
You've been to the White House, man. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's pretty huge. | ||
Well, that was like, I'm 34 when that happened. | ||
No, 33. | ||
Yeah, whatever. | ||
But I'm talking about like, I'm 26. | ||
I have a career, I'm being featured, and I have these professors saying, like, this technique is incredible, and they're asking me to come and give guest lectures. | ||
At colleges. | ||
At colleges. | ||
And I still had family being like, you really need to go to college now. | ||
And I'm like, are you insane? | ||
Like, why go to college? | ||
But you think about that pressure even I was getting from my family. | ||
And you think about all these kids who don't know better. | ||
And I can't, you know, I don't completely blame them. | ||
If you were told your whole life, you can have everything you want so long as you play by these rules. | ||
Here's what you have to do. | ||
No cheating allowed. | ||
Go to school. | ||
Go to high school. | ||
Get a loan. | ||
Go to college. | ||
And they graduate and they're told, actually you're an indentured servant for the rest of your life. | ||
I'm not surprised they're freaking out. | ||
This is one of the reasons why I'm very much in favor of college debt forgiveness. | ||
But I don't believe we should just do with like what Warren said or whatever and just write a blank check. | ||
Yeah, I agree. | ||
Here's 50 grand, boom, just hand it out. | ||
No, I think we should just terminate the interest rates. | ||
Yeah, yeah, I like that too. | ||
So you've got to pay down everything you've spent. | ||
Yeah, you got to pay for, because the professor's still got to get paid, the college still has to run. | ||
No, no, these are people out of school. | ||
Oh, okay, okay. | ||
Yeah, yeah, but now they owe money. | ||
Afterwards, after the fact. | ||
So they got a loan from a company. | ||
The company put a percentage, you know, interest rate on it. | ||
Right, because it's all just the banks then making that interest anyway. | ||
We have a predatory system. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
That is, it is creating an entire generation of whiny communists. | ||
So I'm not, I'm not gonna, as much as I can complain about the individual... Oh man, I laugh, but you're right. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Listen, man. | ||
They get out of school, and they were told- Look, you're 18. | ||
You'd think this 18-year-old, you know, chick or whatever who's like, I'm in the occupied, you know, free zone or whatever. | ||
You think she has any idea what's gonna happen with the next- Zero. | ||
unidentified
|
68 years of her life. | |
Zero clue. | ||
Exactly. | ||
You take a kid who's in high school, who's naive, ignorant, not saying stupid, just inexperienced, and you say, trust us, we're your adults, you have to do these things. | ||
It's no surprise many of these people are trying to throw all of that out the window, because the system was broken and they were lied to. | ||
The solution isn't communism, though. | ||
The solution is walk out into the middle of the field and start growing your own corn and building your own hut. | ||
Pave your own path, find your own way. | ||
But I can't say I'm surprised they want to burn it all down. | ||
Just like you said in the, what was it, Occupy, when they gave him a farm? | ||
Yeah, and they didn't want to do it. | ||
Look, you guys want to try it? | ||
Here's a farm. | ||
There you go. | ||
We gave you a farm. | ||
And what happened? | ||
Oh, they lasted like two weeks. | ||
But I don't like doing work. | ||
Wait a minute, I have to work? | ||
I have to work to live? | ||
Are you kidding? | ||
Life is not easy. | ||
But think about it. | ||
I know a lot of people, and I've talked to people about this, and they've told me, like, I've had friends, and this was back, you know, 10 or so years ago, like, super depressed, saying, I did everything right. | ||
I did everything they said was the right thing to do, and by the time I graduated and I have a degree, there's no jobs, I've got $40,000 in debt, I can't pay it off, so it's deferring, and now the interest is going up, and it's gonna be $60,000 by the time I actually find a job. | ||
This is ridiculous. | ||
And I'm like, What you hear from a lot of people is, well, you took the loan, that's your fault, you're an adult. | ||
And I'm like, I agree with that within reason. | ||
I would agree with that on the individual level. | ||
If you're an individual, you can't blame anyone but yourself. | ||
But on a mass scale, we have an entire system churning out whiny communists. | ||
You gotta realize that's gonna rip our country apart at the seams. | ||
We're seeing it. | ||
It's happening in front of our eyes right now. | ||
That's why I think so. | ||
You also have, man, college indoctrination. | ||
It's not as bad as a lot of people would say it is. | ||
There are a lot of professors who are nuts. | ||
But there's been a couple of surveys that found that in certain humanities political fields, it's definitely bad. | ||
Really, really bad. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But there's a lot of stuff that's not, you know, people kind of exaggerate things to a certain degree. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I mean, go ahead. | ||
No, you get hot press on the really extreme cases, but it is, to a certain degree, indoctrinating people and making them think insane things. | ||
So you put them in this machine that tells them, communism actually isn't all that bad. | ||
Then they graduate. | ||
Now think about what happens. | ||
You spend 22 years, or so, not 22 years, but you know, You start school at what, 5? | ||
So 17 years in an institutionalized learning facility. | ||
You graduate at 22. | ||
Every step of the way, there's been an authority figure providing everything for you. | ||
You go to school, there's the cafeteria, the food's right there. | ||
You walk right up, you take it, it's all part of your meal plan. | ||
Then you graduate, and you're sitting there thinking, okay, where's my food? | ||
Where's the lunch lady to give me my food? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Government! | ||
Government cheese, please! | ||
Hey, you know what I just realized? | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
So you know the reason that school is so expensive is because it's subsidized, right? | ||
Is it? | ||
Because the government is paying for those schools. | ||
That's why they jack up the prices like that. | ||
And then they offer to forgive your loans. | ||
And then people graduate and they're like, oh, where's the government to help me pay my bills? | ||
And then you have to wonder what they were thinking by subsidizing this education that made them think that government was a good thing. | ||
Well, hold on, before we move, I want to just say, you said something about basically them going, yeah, yeah, it's a communist system, like, hmm, all right, I'm kind of interested in that. | ||
But now we're finding out, we've talked about this a couple times, that China is working with professors, paying them under the radar. | ||
Did you hear that huge story today? | ||
What? | ||
Like millions of dollars to a Harvard professor just got busted. | ||
Let me see if I can find it. | ||
They're a communist party. | ||
They want us to be fractured. | ||
They want what's happening right now in our country. | ||
That's what they want. | ||
They want us fractured. | ||
They want our youth going against us to split us up. | ||
This is exactly what China wants right now. | ||
Check this out. | ||
That's a good point. | ||
Two hours ago, top Harvard professor indicted in China case. | ||
Wow. | ||
They say, Dr. Charles Lieber, 61, will be arraigned in federal court in Boston on two counts of making false statements to investigators regarding his involvement in China's Thousand Towns plan. | ||
So, when was that case, do you know? | ||
I thought it was a while ago. | ||
Oh, this guy. | ||
He was arrested on January 28th. | ||
So this is the same guy, but the story is... They just made it happen. | ||
Oh, so he was officially indicted now. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Right, right. | ||
So it's a part of that ongoing story. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, they've been doing this. | ||
Yep. | ||
They got their little tendrils in everything. | ||
Yes, they do. | ||
Well, you know what, man? | ||
How is this not a main thing? | ||
Like, I was still shocked. | ||
I'm still shocked that throughout the whole coronavirus thing nobody, no mainstream media talked about how we found Chinese nationalists bringing in coronavirus for years. | ||
I am still kind of like, when I think about it, I'm like, wow, that's really kind of crazy. | ||
How is that not a bigger story? | ||
How is that not a big story? | ||
Exactly. | ||
It's almost like there's, you know, some group that doesn't want anyone to know about this China involvement. | ||
It's because Jeff Zucker at CNN is a reality TV guy, and he's sitting there and going like, what do I care about this story? | ||
Run Trump. | ||
Run, run, run Trump. | ||
Trump, uh, Trump. | ||
What'd he get caught doing? | ||
He got caught today eating a cream puff from a local bakery. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Can we make that racist somehow? | ||
And then one guy goes like, well, cream puffs are white on the inside. | ||
Ooh, we can make it like a secret racist thing. | ||
And then also there's a story and it's like Trump dog whistled to neo-Nazis, eats cream puff. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I kid you not. | ||
It's like, you're reading this and you're like, Puffgate. | ||
unidentified
|
Puffgate. | |
Secretly inside the beige treat is white cream. | ||
That proves it! | ||
Orange on the outside, white on the inside. | ||
Do you see the story where they were like, Trump's salt shaker was bigger? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
What is wrong with these people? | ||
Wait, what? | ||
That was the story? | ||
There was a picture and there was a salt and pepper shaker and they were different. | ||
One was rectangular and one was circular. | ||
The one by Trump was bigger than the one not by Trump. | ||
Yeah, he loves himself. | ||
He just shows off, whatever. | ||
It's not even about that, who cares? | ||
I don't even care anymore, come on. | ||
He's also the president! | ||
You get like a certain set, right? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Nah, that wouldn't surprise me if there was a little T on it. | ||
unidentified
|
No, no, no, no. | |
That would surprise me. | ||
You know what was likely? | ||
What? | ||
The person came in and put some salt shakers on the table and left. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And Trump was eating and they were like, what can we do, what can we do? | ||
unidentified
|
Ooh, ooh, ooh, look! | |
Look at that picture! | ||
That salt shaker looks bigger. | ||
It's bigger! | ||
unidentified
|
It's bigger! | |
I remember the infamous two scoops of ice cream story. | ||
You remember that? | ||
No. | ||
Trump gets two scoops of ice cream and everyone else gets one. | ||
I'm not joking. | ||
CNN did that story. | ||
Now to be fair... CNN did a story on him getting two scoops. | ||
Yes. | ||
So everyone else is one. | ||
Yes they did. | ||
Now, hold on. | ||
To be fair, it was supposed to be like a silly segment, but it got honestly picked up then by other... Independent is talking about it here. | ||
BuzzFeed is talking about it. | ||
Is this just happened or something? | ||
No, it was a while ago. | ||
It was in 2017. | ||
Before my awakening. | ||
Nightmare world that we live in. | ||
And this is what they were covering instead of China sneaking in literal living viruses. | ||
They did not think that was a big deal. | ||
In unmarked vials. | ||
Yeah, hidden and they caught the guy and he lied. He said no, I don't have anything and they're like, whoa | ||
We just found these vials on you like oh, well those I'm bringing to a professor at one of your universities | ||
Think about think about the news reports that could have been | ||
Breaking news America. Yeah, Chinese national has been detained in relation to smuggling of | ||
Viruses into this country without proper permits. Yeah Local security experts are concerned. | ||
Instead, we got breaking news, America. | ||
The president received two scoops of ice cream. | ||
unidentified
|
And they were both white. | |
It was both vanilla. | ||
And then they start talking about how, like, the Democrats got chocolate vanilla swirl, which shows how they're very interested in ending racism. | ||
And then you have two hours of pundits being like, listen, you don't understand the dog whistle that is Trump getting vanilla swirl. | ||
Let me explain to you this thing only I can hear. | ||
And then another person's like, no, you're wrong. | ||
The vanilla swirl isn't a dog whistle. | ||
It's overt. | ||
He's saying straight up the argument is actually not about whether it is or isn't racist. | ||
It's that it is. | ||
Of course. | ||
But the connotations are different. | ||
No, Nancy Pelosi, what, she got chocolate vanilla swirl. | ||
I think that shows real leadership in this country. | ||
And it's like, it's like Trump didn't even choose the ice cream. | ||
It was just like some guy had a tray and then they were handing them out. | ||
And he's like, thank you. | ||
And then they were like, he accepted it. | ||
Dude, there's literally nothing he can do. | ||
So you, you have CNN. | ||
Nothing. | ||
I'm imagining Jeff Zucker. | ||
He's sitting in a room and he's looking at two folders and he's like, it says like China smuggling in viruses with, you know, and, and hiring researchers to steal research. | ||
Orange man, bad folder. | ||
It's the meme with the guy and the button. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the guy and the button. | ||
He's sweating like... No, that's not fair. | ||
No, it's not. | ||
No sweat, huh? | ||
No, it's not fair. | ||
No sweat. | ||
No sweat at all. | ||
It's a smile. | ||
A smile and a wink as he presses orange man bad. | ||
Right. | ||
Here's a better analogy. | ||
They hand him two folders, and he looks at the orange man bad, and he goes... He puts a cigar out, and he looks at the other one, and he goes... And he gets all angry when he sees it, and he throws the China report. | ||
The paper's just flying everywhere. | ||
Don't you ever bring that in my office again. | ||
We don't want any of that garbage. | ||
This isn't clickbait enough. | ||
Come on. | ||
Seriously. | ||
What do we look like, a news organization? | ||
No, not really. | ||
That ended in the 90s. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
No, it doesn't exist anymore. | ||
News used to be real. | ||
unidentified
|
What were we talking about? | |
I don't know where we are now. It's a bunny trail something. | ||
Yeah, I heard the Harvard guy. We were talking about schools | ||
unidentified
|
We're talking about taking over students. How did we get into that though? | |
Cuz you said China got into Harvard and then we start talking about how it was well not Harvard | ||
Just schools in general. Yeah Maybe we'll go to war with China and this will all just | ||
disappear You know by you keep saying it and I keep starting to | ||
believe it, dude Thucydides trap, man. | ||
Could you imagine if they reinstituted the draft? | ||
And then that 18-year-old woman in the free zone would be drafted? | ||
Equality. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It is kind of weird that they were talking about the draft again a month ago. | ||
Like they keep doing it like why what what you know, you know people don't realize is that you know when it came to | ||
vietnam The draft was complete bs. Yeah, and I can understand why | ||
they were like, okay, we can't do that again But if we're talking about a real existential threat, there's | ||
gonna be a draft man like against china with their 1.4 4 billion people? | ||
How many people are in China? | ||
1.3 billion people. | ||
How many have we got? | ||
300 million? | ||
330 million. | ||
Yeah, they'll be conscription in two seconds, man. | ||
Could you imagine? | ||
This is what's crazy about these, like, wacko lefties. | ||
Would they really want them? | ||
You don't want these revolutionary wackos to have guns. | ||
No, they're not going to take orders well. | ||
They're not smart. | ||
Well, we already, we saw that guy. | ||
We talked about it yesterday that he was, was he on active duty? | ||
I don't know if he was, he was on active duty. | ||
So there was someone on active duty, went on a rampage, killed some cops. | ||
Killed some cops. | ||
Well, he killed one cop for sure. | ||
Okay. | ||
We don't know if he killed the other two in Oakland or somewhere. | ||
No, it was one other cop in Oakland. | ||
Someone shot two of them. | ||
I think it may have been him because he had a van with weapons in it. | ||
But yeah, they're not going to want these people. | ||
So then what do we do? | ||
It's like we're falling apart from the inside, man. | ||
Our military is half the size of China's, just for the record. | ||
Yeah, but we got better tech. | ||
We got UFO tech, yo. | ||
Not made in China. | ||
What you know about that? | ||
You know what, man? | ||
UFO tech. | ||
I'm willing to bet, a lot of people don't want to believe it, but I'm willing to bet that we've got military tech you could not even imagine. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
I'm sure. | ||
Totally. | ||
Because there was a really funny story I was reading when I was reading about these UFOs. | ||
And it was talking about how they had these weird sightings for UFOs in certain areas. | ||
And they passively mentioned it was only like, you know, 50 miles away from a naval | ||
experimental technology center. | ||
It's like, what? | ||
Like, oh, well, then two plus two equals that. | ||
It's like you ever play Sudoku? | ||
It's like I can see I can see what's happening here, man. | ||
You got crazy flying ship. | ||
Military military. | ||
Military research center. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It is very complicated. | ||
Was that hard for people? | ||
No, I guess not. | ||
It's complicated. | ||
unidentified
|
To figure out? | |
No, it's not that big a deal. | ||
But people still want to claim. | ||
They probably made the Space Force just to, like, allocate more budget to the tech that they need to work on. | ||
If, if, look, when we hear about the weapons they make, like, I think six, seven years ago, they created a new streamlined gravity bomb, a megaton nuke, that was very small, because, like, the original was massive. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And so they figured out how to do it better and, you know, more compact. | ||
And it's just, you just drop it out of a plane. | ||
But we got ICBMs, man, we got crazy weapons. | ||
And that stuff's all, what, from the 70s? | ||
How old is that stuff? | ||
That's pretty old, yeah. | ||
If you think they're not working on better ways to kill, and if you think that the ones they're working on now, they're telling you all about, I don't buy it, man. | ||
I think there are certain things for immediate visible use, and they're keeping their aces up their sleeve. | ||
I think the U.S. | ||
has got some crazy stuff, you know, hidden. | ||
For sure. | ||
A lot of cyber attacks. | ||
How much money does the U.S. | ||
military spend every year? | ||
Can you look that up? | ||
Yeah, hold on, I got it kind of right in front of me. | ||
A very big number. | ||
A lot. | ||
It's gotta be a lot. | ||
Yeah. | ||
A crazy amount. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I mean, there's a good argument that bureaucracy is miserable and fails all the time. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But I'm not convinced, man. | ||
I just saw the look on her face. | ||
I just saw the number for the U.S. | ||
military spending. | ||
Per year? | ||
Hold on. | ||
Wait, wait, wait. | ||
In 2018, they signed the Department of Defense Appropriations Bill. | ||
It was $617 billion for the base budget and another $69 billion for war funding. | ||
Wow. | ||
I'd say we are prepared. | ||
That is lots of dollars. | ||
Many dollars. | ||
That's a lot of money. | ||
Holy cow. | ||
And then you think about, they build all these tanks, they buy all these weapons, and then it gets reappropriated by local police departments and stuff. | ||
Then people get mad about it. | ||
But, man, I don't think we could be invaded, to be honest. | ||
When you got like a small town of like 300 people and they've literally got armored personnel carriers with like machine guns mounted on them. | ||
I'm not kidding. | ||
It's like an actual video I was watching about it. | ||
That's so weird. | ||
Wow. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's like, I think they're good, but that's hand-me-down stuff. | ||
True. | ||
What is the U.S. | ||
hiding up its sleeve? | ||
A lot of money, apparently. | ||
Listen, listen. | ||
They didn't just come out and say to the world, like, we're building a nuclear bomb. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Manhattan Project was a secret. | ||
They can do the same thing today. | ||
It's compartmentalized. | ||
You wouldn't know what you were working on. | ||
Well, American-made products usually last. | ||
Chinese-made stuff tends to break more often. | ||
I mean, it is the stuff they're giving us. | ||
So are they making good quality stuff for themselves? | ||
Yeah. | ||
No, you don't think so? | ||
No, man. | ||
It's low quality because the people are basically slaves. | ||
You know, they walk off buildings and mass suicide. | ||
It's horrifying. | ||
Yeah, that's true. | ||
Yeah, we shouldn't be supporting it. | ||
It's funny because I've heard a lot of arguments about like sweatshop labor. | ||
Okay. | ||
And the argument from the pro sweatshop people is there are no jobs where they live and this gets them substantially more money than they could have made otherwise. | ||
Even if it's dirt. | ||
Even if it's a quarter per hour. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's still, you know, they normally make like a penny per hour. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
So to them it's like, this is amazing. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And I'm like, I still don't think it's a good idea. | ||
Agreed. | ||
I mean, I get the argument. | ||
It creates jobs and industry and all that stuff, but why don't you just pay them better and actually benefit the area? | ||
But in the end, just hire Americans. | ||
The outsourcing thing was a big disaster for us. | ||
Yeah, I agree. | ||
I don't know what their plan was. | ||
I guess the plan was like, make America the educated elite class capital city. | ||
Well, we don't need like 100 pairs of shirts, you know, or jeans, you know. | ||
We, you know, it's like I have a pair of jeans that I've been wearing for 10 years. | ||
They're great. | ||
They're still in good shape. | ||
I just bought a new pair of pants. | ||
Built in America. | ||
Guaranteed for life. | ||
So if anything happens, I can send it back to the company and they fix them for me and send it back to me. | ||
So I just got a pair of shorts from them. | ||
I'm stoked. | ||
That's the kind of stuff I like. | ||
We don't need, you know, it's funny. | ||
I was a model for a long time. | ||
Modeling clothes to sell clothes. | ||
And after I left that industry, I'm, I'm kind of disgusted by it because it kind of, I helped it, you know, essentially fast fashion become more of a thing. | ||
Like people go buy more stuff. | ||
Look at this new outfit. | ||
You need this new thing. | ||
And it's like, and it just got worse and worse and worse quality over time. | ||
It wasn't good quality stuff. | ||
This is one of the biggest problems I have with capitalism. | ||
It's another thing. | ||
This is one of the biggest problems I have with capitalism is that humans are incentivized to produce and consume things that lead us to horrible ends. | ||
I think I mentioned this on the show before. | ||
There's a quote by a physicist or whatever that If humans ever meet aliens, they'll shake hands, not because they overcame the nuclear bomb, but because they overcame the Xbox. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Meaning that in a capitalist system, humans are driven to their baser instincts, and they keep buying new things, they get fat, they eat terrible food, they become sedentary, and they play video games, and they whack off all day. | ||
True. | ||
However, just because I have a problem with the system doesn't mean I think communism, | ||
you know, would be the alternative. | ||
And that's what a lot of these activists think. | ||
They're like, we consume too much communism. | ||
I'm like, no, no, no, too many thing. | ||
It's not even about that. | ||
All of these big natural disasters, you know, like Chernobyl and stuff. | ||
No, it's ineffective. | ||
Competition works. | ||
Yeah, competition gives... I mean, the space race. | ||
We went to the moon because of competition. | ||
You know, it does give us a reason to, you know, better ourselves. | ||
So there needs to be some kind of a balance between, you know... The solution is cultural. | ||
I saw the look on your face. | ||
The solution to this problem is cultural. | ||
Okay. | ||
Elon Musk needs to launch a rocket to Mars and inspire everybody to be like, I want to be cool. | ||
I want space stuff. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Right now, everyone's like, I want 57 of different shirts with different logos. | ||
This has got a bunny on it. | ||
This one's got a giraffe on it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And then it's just a bunch of waste product that doesn't do anything to make society better. | ||
I mean, he just launched two people into space two weeks ago. | ||
Exactly. | ||
Exactly. | ||
It was amazing. | ||
I cried a little bit watching it happen, man. | ||
I teared up. | ||
It was awesome. | ||
We need an ambitious- A private company. | ||
Yeah, that's the best part to me. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's crazy, huh? | ||
It's a first. | ||
And that was an investment project, right? | ||
Like they were doing a test. | ||
What? | ||
So that was a test run, right? | ||
Well, no, no, no. | ||
They've tested it. | ||
That was their maiden voyage, basically. | ||
Were they paid to do it? | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
That's my question. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like the U.S. | ||
government paid them to send a payload. | ||
Yes, absolutely. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They were NASA astronauts sent up. | ||
Wow. | ||
It cost so much less to do it that way, though. | ||
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
Incredible. | ||
Nailed it. | ||
Significantly less. | ||
So what can we do for young kids growing up to have them strive to focus not on stupid consumerism, but focus on projects that make awesome new things. | ||
So that's one of the big challenges we have right now. | ||
It's not capitalism. | ||
Capitalism creates rapid competition and rapid, expansive growth, which can be good. | ||
It's only bad if we don't get off this planet. | ||
If we can get off Earth and we find better means of propulsion, then we're talking about capitalism being a godsend. | ||
One of the big complaints is like, we consume too much. | ||
What did Greta Thunberg say? | ||
unidentified
|
Your fairy tales of endless economic growth! | |
Yes. | ||
Yeah, well, if we start mining asteroids and colonizing other planets, it will be endless as far as we can tell. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So let's get on that, huh? | ||
Yeah, I don't think she understands that we can't go back. | ||
We can't go back to, you know, everyone owning a farm and it being like 1500s, you know? | ||
It's like, that's not the way it is anymore. | ||
We are a technological society. | ||
We are only advancing. | ||
We have to figure out how to make it work with our society. | ||
Dude, these people, they want to destroy the system. | ||
They want you living in a cave. | ||
Like that woman, that 18-year-old, free Seattle, you know, the woman who's part of the free Capitol Hill whatever, they seize this seven block radius, wants to destroy civilization. | ||
That's amazing. | ||
Okay, it's like you have no idea how comfortable you have been for your 18 years on this planet. | ||
Little they. | ||
Little they? | ||
Get eaten by a wild boar in like 20 minutes. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Could you imagine these people? | ||
Or stub your toe. | ||
And then you're dead. | ||
And get infected. | ||
It's like, wow, medicines. | ||
Yeah, it's like I stubbed my toe. | ||
Oop, it's bleeding. | ||
I'm going to die, I guess. | ||
That's it. | ||
I guess I'll die. | ||
That is. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And antibiotic resistance. | ||
There's a lot of things that are threatening our wonderful way of life. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And we've got to keep striving to improve. | ||
I'll also point out, too, with that statement she made about endless economic growth, it's like you can have economic growth in a virtual reality. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
Virtual world. | ||
Yeah, so there's a lot of new jobs that emerge in weird ways, like World of Warcraft gold farming. | ||
unidentified
|
You did that, right? | |
No, no. | ||
You manipulated the market. | ||
Yeah, that's different. | ||
That's just playing the game. | ||
But there were people whose job in China was literally to go around just grinding in a video game to generate currency so that players could buy it from them. | ||
Well, back when I was playing Diablo 2, that was a thing, too. | ||
People would set up websites where you can go buy an item, whatever item you want, and they would meet up with you in a game and trade it to you. | ||
It was expensive stuff, too. | ||
I'm not a fan of that. | ||
I mean, it's fun. | ||
I don't care that it exists. | ||
Gaming is fun. | ||
I'm just saying, think about how many people are on this planet working. | ||
In the United States, ignore the pandemic stuff. | ||
We had record low unemployment, but what are the humans doing? | ||
I would prefer it if all of the humans were building spaceships. | ||
However, I know that if all humans stopped their work and then started working on spaceships, | ||
the entire system would collapse because you need more than spaceships to survive. | ||
Yeah, we're not automated yet. | ||
Yet. | ||
The issue is, in order to make, you know, the polymers for the ship, you need this industry, this industry, that industry. | ||
And all of this different work together creates all of these different unique things. | ||
That's true. | ||
The problem with communists is that they're like, okay, stop production on the food and start building a nuclear power plant. | ||
And they're like, okay, and then they all starve. | ||
That's why capitalism is better. | ||
It's a decentralized system that allocates resources where they're needed, when they're needed. | ||
And if it can't support itself, it goes extinct. | ||
The big challenge, though, is overcoming our baser instincts, which, to an extent, I'm fine with. | ||
You wanna have a sugary can of soda, like I got right here? | ||
You wanna have a chocolate cake or whatever? | ||
Go for it. | ||
But how do we convince more of our economic energy to go towards awesome stuff? | ||
New energies, space travel, Can we do better? | ||
So people aren't, you know, spending all of their time making 50 billion different t-shirts. | ||
Like, could you imagine how stupid it would be if there's like a t-shirt that said, spin the UFO or something on it? | ||
Or just like a picture of me saying, Haram. | ||
I'm kidding, by the way. | ||
Pick up your Timcast IRL shirt in the description below. | ||
I'm actually I'm actually only half kidding. | ||
I do think it's like we have a bunch of stuff we don't need. | ||
Right. | ||
And within reason, it's fine. | ||
But I think we need a cultural shift towards cool projects like like the Space Race was where little kids were looking up at the sky going, wow. | ||
And then dreaming of being an astronaut working at NASA. | ||
Well movies kind of killed that. | ||
We're so spoiled. | ||
It's like, nah, cool, space, whatever. | ||
It's like, yeah, but space. | ||
Do you realize what that is out there? | ||
I don't think it's the movies. | ||
You want kids to look up to somebody. | ||
So if you have a little kid in front of you, and you go, wow, look at outer space. | ||
They don't know better? | ||
They're gonna be like, okay, outer space, good. | ||
If you sit around the TV, your mom is crying, your dad's waving a little American flag, and you're a little kid watching this rocket takeoff, that kid is being told, this is what gets me approval. | ||
This is what I must do so that people like me. | ||
That's being replaced now by woke cancel culture nonsense, where they're like, I'll get followers if I call you a Nazi. | ||
Yeah, so we need to get off of that stuff. | ||
Yeah, it's true. | ||
Move towards inspiring people to invent things and to travel and get into, you know, sciences. | ||
And not even that. | ||
Methodologies are important as technologies. | ||
Better ways to do things. | ||
Otherwise, we will just eat ourselves to death. | ||
Yep, wither and die. | ||
Yeah, we'll be like yeast in a bottle, you know, eventually we consume everything and then nothing left. | ||
It just dies off. | ||
I'm confident though. | ||
I mean. | ||
Wow. | ||
I am. | ||
It's nice to see that side view. | ||
So look, humans have been around for a while and it's in the past, like our growth and technological advancement has been exponential. | ||
And the more people there are, the more things we produce, the more things we can produce, the more specialties will exist. | ||
So I think certainly the U.S. | ||
right now is in serious trouble. | ||
But I think humans, for the most part, are going to do crazy things. | ||
At the very least, I imagine, we will probably create some kind of self-replicating A.I. | ||
that can colonize the universe. | ||
Because that one ship can just be floating endlessly for 10,000 years, land on a planet, adequate resources, replicate, replicate, replicate. | ||
And then whatever it is that we are created something that does something for some reason. | ||
I think that might be a little naive because what's the point of rapid self-replication? | ||
Maybe it just seeds life. | ||
Maybe these little vessels will just stop and then drop some organic matter and then boom, a new planet seeded with life. | ||
Maybe that's what our legacy will be. | ||
Maybe that's what we were. | ||
Wouldn't that be crazy? | ||
Anyway, enough craziness! | ||
Unless you wanted to add something. | ||
I can talk about space all day long. | ||
I wanted to bring up one article, but I'd rather bring up a bunch. | ||
I couldn't bring it up because you've got to do your little trick. | ||
Oh, because of this. | ||
Did I get it? | ||
Did you get it? | ||
I think I got it. | ||
I'm just gonna, here, click to this article. | ||
So I'm just gonna read a little bit here. | ||
This is an article about basically private space companies. | ||
SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic. | ||
But there's one thing in here that I really love. | ||
And here we go. | ||
It's basically them talking about when they go into space. | ||
And there's an effect that happens. | ||
It's called the overview effect. | ||
I'll read it here. | ||
It says, You see something fundamental changes in you, forever, once you've seen the planet in its natural habitat of space. | ||
It's called the overview effect, a term coined by Frank White in 1987. | ||
This is a permanent cognitive shift in awareness experienced by astronauts. | ||
You don't see national boundaries from orbit. | ||
You don't see others or races. | ||
You see humanity as a whole. | ||
You see us. | ||
You can't unknow it. | ||
living, breathing, fragile orb filled with a variety of totally interdependent living | ||
creatures and you see each as unique, fragile, and precious. | ||
You can't unknow it, you can't unfeel it. | ||
There's something so special about that. | ||
I love it. | ||
I don't know what that feels like, to be floating above earth, looking down, but I can understand | ||
it and I love space, everything. | ||
If you follow me on Twitter, half of my tweets are just space related stuff. | ||
There's something about this that I love. | ||
I want more people to feel that way, you know, to get that kind of a feeling. | ||
And we need it. | ||
We need that overview effect. | ||
It's kind of maybe empathy a little bit for others, you know, in the same kind of vibe. | ||
I think that effect could actually be dangerous. | ||
Really? | ||
Yeah. | ||
How so? | ||
Take someone who's got communist-type leanings, and they're not politically active. | ||
unidentified
|
They just think, man, wouldn't it just make sense to put homeless people in houses? | |
That's so dumb. | ||
Now take them up to space and look down on the planet. | ||
Now they have this feeling where they're like, this feeling they have could potentially activate them into a The point I'm trying to say is, there are a lot of people who might be really, really dumb, who get inspired by that feeling, seeing the Earth as one, and then involving themselves in matters they should not be involved in. | ||
They lack the ability, the skill, the intelligence, the understanding, and then they see this and they're like, we are a one, we must protect the planet, it's so precious and connected, and then they become some kind of weird, lefty, SKW cultist. | ||
Eagle terrorist or something? | ||
Yeah, something like that too. | ||
Yeah, I see it. | ||
I understand. | ||
It's crazy though, man. | ||
It really is true. | ||
People don't realize we are not freely independent creatures just walking around doing our thing. | ||
It's fascinating to me. | ||
I was reading about the discovery of air. | ||
Has that ever occurred to you? | ||
That people had to discover air? | ||
That air exists around us? | ||
Because to a human, you can't see anything. | ||
Right. | ||
And you can only kind of feel wind. | ||
And before they understood that there was actually something with mass here, like we're in an atmosphere. | ||
Right. | ||
To them, it was like there was just nothing there. | ||
And so I was reading about how it got discovered. | ||
It was because they had these these like brass balls with holes in them and a tube that would come out. | ||
And you put your thumb, you dip it in water, put your thumb over the end and pull it out and the water stays. | ||
And then you put it over your head to shower, right? | ||
Okay. | ||
So this one dude was like, let me put my finger, my thumb over the hole and then put it in and see if the water fills up. | ||
Sure enough, it didn't. | ||
And he was like, there must be something in there blocking the water. | ||
And that's when they realized like air is this tangible thing. | ||
That's cool. | ||
So it's like, the reason I bring that up is people often don't think about we are We are swimming in an atmosphere. | ||
It's just gaseous. | ||
It could be water, it could be any other medium, but we are in this big puddle, basically. | ||
The air we breathe comes from trees, algae, and all those other things. | ||
Without them, we die. | ||
We don't get our food. | ||
We really are connected to everything in this ecosystem. | ||
Yep, we are. | ||
What's really cool about being smart is that we created suits that allow us to leave this and, you know, go into other places and stuff. | ||
It'll be really cool if we could make a biodome in a ship. | ||
Actually, I was just watching that movie Pandorum. | ||
You ever see that one? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So it's basically, That's the one that was in there? | ||
It looked pretty bad, actually. | ||
You didn't like it? | ||
I walked through the room. | ||
I'm judging on two seconds. | ||
It was a little silly, but I like the concept. | ||
It's basically that they created an ark. | ||
It's funny. | ||
It's kind of what I was talking about, that theory of humans setting out an ark. | ||
So, Earth is overpopulated, resources are strained. | ||
They create a giant vessel with 60,000 people. | ||
and it's supposed to go off and then colonize a new planet. | ||
It's a 123 year journey. So they get put into hypersleep stasis. | ||
Okay. | ||
And then I'm not going to spoil the movie. I mean, it's a really, really old movie, | ||
but basically like they wake up and like everything's in chaos, but it's just a surprise. | ||
unidentified
|
Right, right, right, right. | |
I know, it's stupid. | ||
But, uh, I like the idea that we could do this. | ||
And I wonder, should we just do it? | ||
Right now? | ||
Like, Elon Musk wants to go to Mars. | ||
Why don't we make, like, a biodome with, you know, a bunch of people? | ||
And have them just, like, go off. | ||
And do their thing. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I've been to the biodome. | ||
I bet it's a bunny. | ||
No, someone's shining a light. | ||
Miami all over again. | ||
Yeah, I want to know who's out there shining a light in our yard. | ||
Oh, it's like the neighbor or something? | ||
No, someone in the yard with a flashlight. | ||
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
Yeah. | ||
Weird. | ||
Yeah, we should go check it out. | ||
No, I'm not worried about it. | ||
Anyway, anyway. | ||
Wait, yeah, totally derailed. | ||
That's all right. | ||
Biodome. | ||
There we go. | ||

No! | |
I need affirmation. | ||
Liking really does help apparently, because it really does. | ||
So a lot of people don't know this. | ||
There's like some rumors and myths about how liking and disliking works, and they think that it doesn't matter. | ||
It really does. | ||
Didn't they claim that it doesn't work? | ||
It doesn't affect? | ||
YouTube said it doesn't. | ||
No, no, it doesn't make a difference. | ||
No, I don't think so. | ||
I think they've said almost nothing about it. | ||
But you can really see that when people dislike, how it negatively impacts analytics. | ||
Like YouTube will just can your video. | ||
So when you see people dislike videos in Brigade, they're really shutting it down. | ||
And when you thumbs up, YouTube promotes it and shows it to more people. | ||
It really does. | ||
So like and share. | ||

First person that pops in my head is Tesla. | ||
I'd like to meet Tesla and just hear some of his ideas that he never got off the ground. | ||

Be like, look at what we got now. | ||
So cool. | ||
And what should I do? | ||

What about you? | |

Who do you want to meet? | ||
I have already stated that I would want to meet Marcus Aurelius. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
Because he was a stoic. | ||
Because I would like to figure out why we're having all these problems on Earth and why we can't get into space and why we're all caught up choking each other to death down here. | ||
You know, I don't think I have a really good answer because I've never really thought about it, but I really would be interested in having Thomas Jefferson sit down and, like, read some of these articles and get his thoughts on things. | ||
Like, did you think this is where we would be? | ||
You know, first of all, he'd be like, what is this floating device? | ||
What is this? | ||
What is this? | ||
It's like, once you get over all the shock of technology, it's like, how do you feel about these people? | ||
See what he has to say in terms of being one of the people who actually drafted this country, created it, where we are now. | ||
I think it's kind of an obvious answer. | ||

That's right, Adam. | ||
You are fire. | ||
Yo. | ||
Spicy hot. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Well, I can spin the UFO. | ||
I don't know about that type of thing. | ||
Turn in the frogs, gay. | ||
unidentified
|
What was it? | |
Wait. | ||
Mm, okay. | ||
Turn in the frogs, Formo! | ||
Turn in the frickin' frogs, Gay. | ||
What was that? | ||
You know, Chechezum says, Adam, the old dude has a bacilar skull fracture. | ||
Watch the vid I posted, and you can see that he hit his head and near the inside of | ||
his skull crack open. | ||
Wow, yeah. | ||
So for the record, I wasn't saying that I believed one way or the other, all right? | ||
I had a tweet just because the president tweeted about it, you know, so now there's this whole, it's going around Europe, you know, there's this, I don't know if you noticed the pictures that I posted where there was a German slogan and that basically said the left will go, will trick people with no end, essentially, like they can't stoop any lower to do tricks like this. | ||
So I was like, Wow, people are really flipping out over this. | ||
They're splitting us up even more. | ||
Is it real? | ||
Is it fake? | ||
So I don't know if it's real or fake. | ||
A lot of people were talking. | ||
What do you think? | ||
Do you think it's real? | ||
I just cracked the case. | ||
I solved the mystery. | ||
And it was thanks to that person asking about a bacillus skull fracture. | ||
Because one of the symptoms of a bacillus skull fracture is fluid leaking from the nose or ear. | ||
Bleeding from the ear. | ||
That would be consistent with what happened to this guy. | ||
The base of the skull and the ear bleeding. | ||
So what are you saying? | ||
It is not blood and a mask and a mask on the back of the head. | ||
People keep sending me this picture and I'm like, no. | ||
I think the dude was, uh, Geisty? | ||
Yeah, sure, fine, whatever. | ||
We've seen video of him, you know, being a little grubber instigator. | ||
Yeah. | ||
People were saying he was trying to give the helmet back. | ||
No, that was his helmet. | ||
That was his helmet, right. | ||
You know, it's like, he shouldn't have been there. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't think it was a false flag. | ||
Like, he walked up and went, oh, hovens! | ||
And then fell down. | ||
I think he walked up and they were like, move, move! | ||
And they gave him a light push and he's an old man and he fell down. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And, you know, my issue with the whole situation is, you've got to have police who are conscious of the individual, not just treating everyone the exact same. | ||
That's true, they do that. | ||
Yeah, if there's a journalist, and this is mind-blowing to me, you see an obvious news crew, I don't get why some jurisdictions, they don't do this. | ||
Some do. | ||
So when I was in D.C. | ||
and they arrested everybody, they mass-arrested the whole group surrounding us. | ||
I called the lieutenant, explained who I was. | ||
He said, no one's getting out, you're all under arrest. | ||
And I was like, just letting you know who I am. | ||
He's like, alright. | ||
Eventually he came out and pulled all the journalists out. | ||
I'm like, clearly we're not here to break windows and cause trouble. | ||
You let us out, we're gonna walk and do what you ask us to do. | ||
So there's no point in arresting us and wasting your time and our time. | ||
But some cops don't care. | ||
And they'll literally just grab you and be like, we're arresting you. | ||
It's like, why are you gonna waste your time? | ||
Some journalists, man, I'll tell you what. | ||
When we were surrounded in DC, they officially said we were arrested. | ||
The first thing I did was I asked for the supervisor. | ||
And they were like, yeah, they called it. | ||
They said, hey, can we get a lieutenant over here? | ||
The guy walks over. | ||
I think his name was Lieutenant Washington. | ||
He was a cool dude. | ||
And I said, I just want to let you know I'm a journalist. | ||
And he was like, well, I can't let you out. | ||
Everyone's being arrested. | ||
And I was like, I'm not here to argue. | ||
Just want to let you know. | ||
And he's like, all right. | ||
Some other journalists, they complained about it. | ||
And they were like, I need legal representation. | ||
This is tyranny. | ||
I have video of some of these journalists screaming at the top of their lungs with spit flying out of their mouths into the faces of these cops, like within inches of their face. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm a journalist, you mother effer! | |
You can't do this to me! | ||
Don't you know? | ||
And so the cops are like, shut up. | ||
You're not getting out. | ||
Nice try. | ||
And I'm sitting in the back just like, minding my own business, you know, doing my thing. | ||
And I got let out. | ||
That was it. | ||
Got out of the, it was covered in pepper spray though. | ||
Let's see. | ||
Keith Rogers says, I missed last night, I had to catch it this morning. | ||
When you spoke of Bernie Sanders' left black eye, I recalled John Kerry, General Mattis, and others with the same black left eye with stitches. | ||
All had it and switched position. | ||
Very strange. | ||
Samuel Williams says, Truck driver, Florida, 600 miles a day, unofficial poll, thousands of Trump sticker signs, one single Biden, either little support or no enthusiasm. | ||
Yeah, maybe just anti-Trump though. | ||
Long Dong John says, how would a non-police citizen militia handle a 9-11 situation? | ||
Run around waving their arms in the air? | ||
I don't know, man. | ||
Just panicked? | ||
This no police thing doesn't make sense to me. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Nothing makes sense in the end. | ||
Max Ball says, can we talk about a true hero during these times? | ||

You guys are the best. | ||
Spin that UFO. | ||
Ace Speedway. | ||
And now they got shut down, right? | ||
Yeah, that so and it's actually an interesting story. | ||
I'll speed this in a second, spin in a second. | ||
So Ace Speedway, we did this story yesterday. | ||
So today, the governor was calling the sheriff to go shut Ace Speedway down. | ||
And the sheriff was like, No, I'm not gonna do that. | ||
I'm not I'm not gonna. | ||
I'm not gonna do that. | ||
Sorry. | ||
So the governor was like, Well, Harumph! | ||
It was a true harumph moment and now the governor came down and shut it down for an imminent threat to society. | ||
But the protests are okay. | ||
Yeah, they're fine. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
All right, so spin it. | ||
UFO time. | ||

I don't know. | |
Whatever. | ||
I did see that. | ||
It's so bad. | ||
What is it? | ||
It's just someone just cuts out your box and wears a face mask and just is doing What the heck? | ||
Oh really, but it's me talking? | ||
But it's your voice. | ||
Oh, so you can't see their mouth not moving? | ||
Yeah, there's like seven views. | ||

Yeah, it's whatever. | ||

Yeah, we lifted it today. | ||
But that was to stay home. | ||
Is that the businesses too? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I need to check it out. | ||
I want to go out and get a burrito. | ||
First thing, I heard it and I went right to the bowling alley. | ||
We were like, food! | ||
It was still closed. | ||
I think it's just businesses. | ||
I was bummed. | ||
I think we gotta go. | ||
I would have been by myself. | ||
We gotta go to a nice diner and sit down. | ||
Go to a movie. | ||
I want a man to walk up with a nice suit on and a cloth on his arm and to take a fancy bottle of water over his arm and pour it into my glass and I'll just be like, it has been months. | ||
So fancy. | ||
Please, sir. | ||
Fancy water, please. | ||
That's what he wants. | ||

Also, what's your take on the I'll beat Joe Biden gaffe? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, he said B, he didn't say B. Yeah, yeah, he said B. | |
Cause he was talking about his record. | ||
They were like, some people said, you're not going to do a good job. | ||
And he goes, you know, you've done these things in the past. | ||
And he goes, look, I got a 40 year record and you can assure that, you know, when I take it in, I'm going to be Joe Biden. | ||
And everyone said, beat. | ||
When I first covered the story, I said, beat. | ||
I didn't even know there was a controversy over him saying beat. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I didn't hear it. | ||
I was like, that makes sense. | ||
It did make sense. | ||
Funny enough, one of the few times he actually made sense, everybody else freaked out. | ||
I was like, wait, wait! | ||
He actually made sense! | ||
unidentified
|
Come on! | |
Give him a break. | ||
That's pretty funny. | ||
Here's an interesting one. | ||
St. | ||
Grizzly says, Tim, don't you think all the leftist voters leaving the cities like San Francisco and NYC are going to change the electoral college votes purple in the flyover states? | ||
Trump could be the last Republican president. | ||
That's a very, very good point. | ||
Maybe it's all part of the secret plan. | ||
Drive the blue people into the red areas so that Trump loses the electoral college. | ||
Yeah, but I feel like a lot of people are trying to turn in red. | ||
No, no, this year they're doing absentee ballots. | ||
Mail-in voting means they're going to be voting in that same blue district. | ||
Yeah, it's too close to the election. | ||
I don't think you can change your location that soon. | ||
You need like 17 months or something. | ||
I think I actually have to go back to Arizona to vote. | ||
I'm registered to vote there. | ||
Because you can't change that. | ||
No, I can't. | ||
I'll have to fly out there. | ||
You can't right now. | ||
You can after, I think. | ||
Or if you did, it wouldn't take effect until later or whatever. | ||
So it may change things in the future, but I think, look man, what just happened with all these liberals rushing out to buy guns? | ||
With a milquetoast fence-sitter jumping off the fence to go and grab a Sig M400? | ||
I'm sitting on that fence, and Crowder's like, hey buddy, pulls out his cigar, come and get it, and I'm like... | ||
Jumped right off and ran up to him. | ||
Thank you, sir. | ||
I haven't gotten it yet. | ||
We'll do it We'll you know, we'll do a video whatever done boxing when it comes I'm gonna get a I want to do a photo op of him sitting on the fence be front fence Korean. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah fence Korean so so listen if if Look, I think moderates got pushed hard, right? | ||
Like I'm to a specifically being like we are all about this liberals are now like I should reconsider my position Yeah. | ||
So even if, even if these people are moving, they're now going to be surrounded by people who are going to influence them. | ||
Yeah. | ||
These are people who had a bunch of friends in the city and they're in their bubble. | ||
Now they're going to be surrounded by a bunch of what religious conservative types or moderate conservative types. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Their opinions will change. | ||
They're going to be sitting down at a restaurant and someone's going to be like, well, you know, Trump's a racist. | ||
And someone's going to be like, well, what do you mean? | ||
Like, but how? | ||
And they'll go, oh, I don't know. | ||
And that's it. | ||
I was just told that. | ||
When they're not surrounded by their, you know... Remember in Rick and Morty when all the Jerrys come out of that machine and they're all shaking each other's hands? | ||
No, I don't remember that one. | ||
You know that one, right? | ||
Yeah, they're all like shaking, giving each other high fives. | ||
Yeah, yeah, a bunch of Jerrys are being replicated for whatever reason and they all walk out like, shaking each other's hands and like just like proud of each other, not actually doing anything. | ||
Okay. | ||
When you're in the city, that's it. | ||
So you walk up to your friends and go, hey guys, Trump, am I right? | ||
And they all laugh and high five you, yeah! | ||
At the same time, though, the internet still exists. | ||
A lot of these people don't go out and socialize. | ||
This, the internet, it's the same thing. | ||
I hear you, but listen, man. | ||
Some of these people who have fled San Fran and New York, they're going to find themselves sitting in a diner, and there's going to be a server, and the server's going to be wearing a MAGA hat. | ||
And what are they going to do? | ||
The server's going to be wearing a MAGA shirt. | ||
Are they going to go, oh no! | ||
unidentified
|
This is, this is like Nazi Germany all over again! | |
Waiters with shirts! | ||
That looks awfully familiar, like a video I watched today. | ||
I don't know if you guys saw that video of the woman being like, I got a letter! | ||
unidentified
|
A custom, custom Trump hat! | |
It's army fatigue! | ||
A custom Trump hat. | ||
She said it sounds, she's like, I don't know if you know this, but Hitler made the Jews wear stars. | ||
And this feels like the opposite of that. | ||
Like the opposite of that? | ||
Sounds great. | ||
People choose to wear hats? | ||
That happens every day, lady. | ||
This has got to be a fake video, like a joke, right? | ||
I don't know. | ||
No, I've seen other videos now showing up. | ||
Because Cassandra was basically doing this. | ||
Cassandra Fairbanks. | ||
I don't know if you guys follow her, but she posted another one. | ||
She's like, yeah, this seems to be legit. | ||
And it was this girl talking about like, look, I did this video. | ||
I don't have that many followers, but this one's doing really well. | ||
So I want to just make sure everyone knows, like, I'm totally serious. | ||
Like, I really want to know this stuff. | ||
And I'm like, oh my gosh, stop. | ||
unidentified

You should have just left it at the one video. | |
All right, let's see what we got here. | ||

Here we go. | ||
Gold gives us the breakdown. | ||
Gen X is 65 to 79. | ||
Millennials are 80 to 99. | ||
Gen Z is 2000 to 15. | ||
And Alpha is 2015 to 2030. | ||
to 99, Gen Z is 2000 to 15, and Alpha is 2015 to 2030. | ||
Why are you shaking your head? | ||
Because I think that it's 20 years. | ||
It's supposed to be every 20 years, which kind of goes along with what you're saying about the theory that they developed. | ||
That's why. | ||
I thought it was 20, not 15. | ||
I'm not sure. | ||
I know there's a lot of conversation about it though, so. | ||
DN says, what happens when the utilities get turned off in the free zone because they stopped paying the bills? | ||
We're going to find out. | ||
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
Then they're going to complain that they're being genocided by the regime and they're going to call for the UN to aid them. | ||
Thanks again. | ||
We're gonna call for the UN to aid them. | ||
Renee says, the greatest generation, end of World War II, | ||
baby boomers, due to the end of the war, early 60s, then Gen X, late 60s to 80s, | ||

Thanks again, appreciate it. | ||

Thank you. | ||
RyeCH says, Tim, I got a 9mm pistol yesterday from a private sale, and all I had to do was show my state ID, sign a bill of sale, and I walked away with my gun. | ||
No essay, nothing. | ||
You need to get out of New Jersey. | ||
Yes. | ||
That's the plan. | ||
And I guess there's like a, what's it called, Bearing Arms website? | ||
BearingArms.com or whatever? | ||
They wrote an article about you? | ||
They wrote an article about me, and they hit the nail on the head. | ||
They basically wrote about what I was talking to Crowder about, and I explained that was difficult, and they gave me the runaround. | ||
And they wrote that on the subsite they believe it is needlessly circuitous to make it very difficult for people to actually do it. | ||
They can't ban the gun outright, but they can make it so difficult people just give up. | ||
And I did give up several times, confused. | ||
So, I didn't say that, but that's literally how I felt. | ||
Every time they gave me different instructions that made no sense, I was like, they're sending me through hoops on purpose so I don't do this. | ||
But they can't legally stop me. | ||
So, we'll see how that plays out. | ||
Big Ben Howard says, I am a Democrat candidate for state rep. | ||
ActBlue is an activist organization that's basically a super PAC that funds and organizes Democratic campaigns. | ||
They're giving me and my team training. | ||
It's super lefty. | ||
Oh, interesting. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Student of History says, Tim, the new plantation is the cities. | ||
Poor people with their food, housing, health care are all handled by the state. | ||
Meanwhile, weapons are restricted, police brutality issues, and over-imprisonment of blacks. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Dude, man. | ||
So we were talking about the other day. | ||
Cities, man. | ||
I'm sorry, dude. | ||
You have no excuse to complain about Republicans. | ||
If everything you complain about is rooted in cultural issues, Democrats have rot. | ||
Democrats. | ||
Democratic cities. | ||
These people live in New York. | ||
And they go, Trump and the Republicans. | ||
And it's like, Trump's been president for a couple years. | ||
You're in a city, in a state, with congressmen, with governors, all Democrat, always Democrat, and all the problems you complain about all the time, racism, police brutality, and stop and frisk. | ||
That's your politicians! | ||
That's Democrats, dude! | ||
Go to a Republican city. | ||
Are they doing this stuff? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know. | ||
You don't hear about it? | ||
Republicans aren't complaining about it? | ||
That's also true. | ||
I don't hear about it. | ||
Then it's funny that I hear this line a lot, especially with Black Lives Matter. | ||
So, I think the dude's name is Andrew Schultz. | ||
Is that his name? | ||
The comedian? | ||
I'm not sure what you're talking about. | ||
He's hilarious. | ||
He's amazing. | ||
He had a really great video today. | ||
And it was, I would give it like, I'd give it an A-. | ||
I'd give it an A- because it's really good. | ||
That's pretty, that's high marks though. | ||
It is high marks. | ||
It's really good. | ||
It's really funny. | ||
I think he's very thoughtful. | ||
I think he's a very smart guy. | ||
But he does play that line where he's like, He's like, I don't fear that I'm going to get killed by a cop when I encounter them. | ||
And he's like, and that's the thing that you've got to understand that there's a fundamental difference in how police police engage with black communities. | ||
And I'm like, I appreciate it, dude. | ||
But that is coming from somebody probably who is rich. | ||
Because I grew up on the south side of Chicago. | ||
That's not how it works. | ||
Like, yeah, we were worried every time we saw a cop. | ||
You were driving in your car, you got worried. | ||
It doesn't matter what your race was. | ||
So I forgot exactly what the point I was going to go off on that was. | ||
Oh yeah, the cities, right. | ||
So you have people saying that white people don't fear this way that black people do, and it's because of race? | ||
No, it's because most white people in this country that are voting conservative are in rural areas with small police departments. | ||
That's why they don't fear. | ||
But if you're white, if you're mixed Latino or black and you're up on the south side of Chicago, yeah, you're worried. | ||
Like I mentioned before, they would tell us to call the fire department. | ||
If somebody was threatening your life, you need the police. | ||
But for any low-level stuff, they would say, call in a fire. | ||
Because the fire department will show up and it'll deal with whatever the problem is in a non-threatening way. | ||
So it's easy for people who aren't from cities to be like, this is why white people don't fear this. | ||
It's like, nah, man. | ||
You don't get it, man. | ||
Go live in a poor area. | ||
Sure, if you live in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, you're not worried. | ||
They're not going to beat you down because you're rich. | ||
Heavy Arms Guy says, The way BLM operates reminds me of the Nazi Party. | ||
They create a villain, slowly gain political cultural power, eventually they take over and displace common Americans. | ||
Scary times. | ||
Now, I want to make a point, and I want to make it clear, I'm not trying to compare the two in terms of what their | ||
ideologies are. | ||
But I see so many people blindly just posting these memes and stuff, | ||
and I'm like... | ||
Posting anything. | ||
And so when you ask questions about why the Germans were so willing to just follow Hitler, it's the same reason people are mindlessly watching any kind of major event or American Idol or sporting events. | ||
It's just because people will do whatever is popular, what society says. | ||
So when I see all the people I know posting the black squares on Instagram, I'm like, bro, you have no idea what you're talking about. | ||
You just saw someone else did it, so you did it. | ||
And it gets dangerous when you make it about political ideology. | ||
Now you got that video from Bethesda, Maryland where they're all sitting there going like, I will love my neighbor. | ||
Yes, I will. | ||
And it's like, bro, that's like cult indoctrination stuff. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So now you have people blindly just following this because everyone told them to do it. | ||
They think it's popular. | ||
I don't care, man. | ||
I'm not joining your cult. | ||
If everybody goes nuts, I got no problem going off in the middle of the woods. | ||
You guys have your thing. | ||
I'm gonna get a dog and go fishing and mind my own business. | ||
Don't tread on me. | ||
Ray Johnson says, the Dems taking over Black Lives Matter is the equivalent of the Republicans hijacking the Tea Party movement. | ||
Politicians will always adopt a cause if it can be made to serve them. | ||
I completely agree, man. | ||
I completely agree. | ||

PerryDoesMapping says, I'm here to tell you that the furry fandom is divided like it is out in the real world. | ||
Antifa, pedos, etc. | ||
are driving people out. | ||
I've seen my fellow conservative furry friends get attacked. | ||
It's sad. | ||
Well, there you go. | ||
Bassmaster says, Internet Historian has a good video documenting what happened at a furry convention. | ||
Worth checking out. | ||
Someone sent it to me and I watched it. | ||
Yeah, oof. | ||
But is that a smear campaign against furries? | ||
Highlighting the worst? | ||
I don't like that word, smear. | ||
I don't like the furries. | ||
Wolf from the Block says, You should check out Internet Historian, the best historian. | ||
Not alt-right or crazy lefty because of my anime profile pic. | ||
Love your show, guys. | ||
Appreciate it. | ||
Mark Robertshaw says, My best friend is a mental health counselor. | ||

Shun says, they were an open welcoming community, and they got infiltrated by these zealots. | ||
The community was not like this 10 years ago. | ||
The mindset became an infestation brainwashing people, and all the derangement is palpable. | ||
Bummer, man. | ||
Mr. Obiwan says, my theory is that these people haven't actually experienced the harshness of nature. | ||
For example, during the winter in interior Alaska, it's literally- Alaska is literally trying to kill you because it's minus 45 degrees. | ||
But things still have to get done outside. | ||
Keep up the good work. | ||
I would love to go to interior Alaska in the middle of winter. | ||
Just, like, spend some time. | ||
That'd be great. | ||
I've been to Alaska. | ||
It's beautiful. | ||
You've been there in... Where'd you go? | ||
It was the middle of summer. | ||
Which part of... I flew in Anchorage and then stayed in a little town called Girdwood. | ||
Girdwood, yeah, I believe. | ||
That's... A little ski town. | ||
I'll tell you what, that's my plan. | ||
When the whole country becomes lefty and editarian weirdos, I'm just gonna go up to Alaska, man. | ||
Alright. | ||
What's that town? | ||
It's wild out there, man. | ||
Wheeling, maybe? | ||
Barrow? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
Barrow is farthest west, I think. | ||
I like watching those Living in the Alaskan Wild shows. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I love that stuff. | ||
Alaska looks awesome, dude. | ||
Ellen Lau says, Canada has gone insane. | ||
Black Lives Matter doesn't care about racial justice and socialism blows. | ||
Parents often told to go back to China. | ||
Surprise, not by white folks. | ||
Mom is Taiwanese and dad ran from China after the commies ended his dad. | ||
Yikes, bummer man. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Megan, thanks for joining. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Samuel Farmer says, where is the Occupy Wall Street farm? | ||
And do you know if it is still available to be used? | ||
I grew up on a farm, hated it, but now I kind of miss it. | ||
For all opportunity, a blank slate offers. | ||
This was nine years ago. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So I have no idea what happened to that. | ||
No idea. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Jake says, you folks forget that debt forgiveness is also taxed as income. | ||
That is another issue, for sure. | ||
Let's see, Sunlit, Bogdan, EC Morgan, and Jurek, thanks for becoming members. | ||
Thank you all. | ||
Awesome. | ||
Thank you. | ||
CRISPR says, what do you honestly think will happen to the cities that are dismantling their police departments? | ||
I worry about cities hiring privatized police or mercenary companies to fill the void. | ||
What was that video you just showed me about Chicago? | ||
It's a crazy shootout, man. | ||
Chicago's crazy right now. | ||
So there's a video. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Adam showed it. | ||
I couldn't find a date on it. | ||
And it's just a shootout in Chicago, supposedly recently. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
And it's just... It sounds like the 4th of July, man. | ||
But it's not. | ||
They're definitely rifles. | ||
Yeah, dude. | ||
Those are not even handguns. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
Those are... And people are like, what's going on here? | ||
Bang! | ||
Cops are shooting back. | ||
It's just crazy. | ||
St. | ||
Louis, there was a major shootout. | ||
It's insane, man. | ||
So I'll tell you what's going to happen when they get rid of their police departments. | ||
It's going to be a purge. | ||
Like I was reading, what was it, Murray Hill Riots? | ||
I love it. | ||
The taxi company went and burned down the limousine company. | ||
Like, that's not about justice in any way. | ||
That's just like, settling scores, man. | ||
Wild West. | ||
Yeah, it's like, you're competing with me, I'll take you down. | ||
Levi Williams says, Every time Lydia says woo, so does my heart. | ||
LOL also, what do you think about holding police to the same standard as the military? | ||
Illegal to unionize, extra duty, pay forfeitures, subject to UCMJ. | ||
No, the police need to be closer to the community, not subject to, I don't know, there's maybe an overlap there. | ||
But I don't know enough about how that would work with UCMJ anyway, to have an opinion, a strong one at least. | ||
AW and Calvin, thanks for becoming a member. | ||
Thank you both. | ||
Joseph says, outside official state functions, presidential families have to pay for their own meals. | ||
Interesting. | ||
Mike Onega says, I am a history major and I want to be a teacher. | ||
I have complained about bias and nothing happened. | ||
I think the only way to win is to debate them and win while others watch. | ||
I don't agree, man. | ||
Because they don't debate. | ||
As soon as you start talking, they start chanting. | ||
They just call you names. | ||
We're just waiting for you to finish talking so they can shove whatever ideas they have down your throat. | ||
Bobby G says, Dear Millennials, Investigate college admins, not Trump admin. | ||
Harass college admin staff, not Trump admin staff. | ||
The ones who taught you and gave you lifelong debt without a job is your enemy, not Trump. | ||
Caleb Field says, our biggest advantage over China currently is our naval force. | ||
China's cyber advantage is our biggest threat from them. | ||
And that is a serious, serious, serious threat, man. | ||
That's very true. | ||
Mr. Paul, you know what I find fascinating? | ||
What? | ||
There was supposedly an airstrike headed towards, I think this was Iran. | ||
I'm not entirely, maybe, I think it was Iran. | ||
Oh yeah, I remember that. | ||
it around and he thought he said something like you know it would it | ||
would have killed 150 Iranians and we didn't think that the retaliation was | ||
you know it fair or equal or whatever so Trump canceled the strike however a | ||
What do you mean? | ||
some sort in Philadelphia exploded just before the strike got called | ||
off. | ||
Now that could just be me connecting the dots where they don't need to be | ||
connected. | ||
But. | ||
What kind of refinery? | ||
What do you mean? | ||
I don't I don't remember exactly what it was like an oil plant or | ||
chemical plant of some sort. | ||
And there are ways to blow up industrial facilities | ||
Because I used to go to Black Hat and DEFCON, the hacker conventions, and I actually had someone give me a demonstration of a remote detonation of a chemical facility. | ||
They said what they could do is they could cause two pumps to flow in the same direction, overloading and then causing a pipe burst, which, depending on the chemical substance, would detonate. | ||
So, I'm not saying anything. | ||
I'm just saying I found it interesting, and I had a bunch of security experts and, like, you know, conflict journalists tell me, no, no, no, nothing like that, nothing like that. | ||
But I'm like, isn't it at least possible that we will see some of our water plant, our water pump facilities, our electrical grid or something be attacked, you know, if we enter a real conflict? | ||
You know, isn't that possible? | ||
And if we are sending an airstrike in, wouldn't they try and go after us in some way? | ||
Yep. | ||
Apparently, like, when we did that elephant walk in Guam, we had to actually pull all of our planes out because China has a weapon that could just wipe out Guam and take out all the planes at once. | ||
Oh, I didn't hear that. | ||
Yeah, so we were like, okay, back off. | ||
I heard they were just decommissioning them. | ||
Oh, was that it? | ||
Those planes, yeah. | ||
So it was kind of like their final huzzah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Here we go. | ||
El Gonzo says, Tim, I think you're underestimating how inefficient the government budget is. | ||
Perhaps, but didn't we lose like some trillions of dollars just before 9-11? | ||
We did. | ||
Yeah, what was that amount? | ||
Like two trillion? | ||
I don't know what that amount was and I just heard about that when we were looking at whatever, Zeitgeist or whatever that movie was. | ||
Yeah, supposedly the room that was handling the investigation is the exact place that got hit. | ||
But it's funny enough though, Space Force, the new show on Netflix, is basically just the Space Force running amok, spending money. | ||
And I actually have a friend of mine who is in the Navy, he's down in Norfolk in Virginia, and he's like, it's actually so accurate. | ||
Like scary and I'm like what super it sounds like a joke like yeah, it's not it's not even good. | ||
It's bad I worked for a company and dude, you know, they're getting sued who by the Space Force. | ||
Yeah Yeah, I worked for a company that had a ridiculous budget. | ||
Okay, and it was insane to see what they would spend money on and It's just a waste. | ||
The craziest thing was there was somebody who kept invoicing, somebody I worked with, invoiced the company when I worked with them. | ||
I was like, I want to hire this person for this one project. | ||
Right. | ||
And then after I had finished, they kept sending monthly invoices. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
Even though they weren't working on anything. | ||
And then it wasn't until like a year later, they said to me, like, I said, like, so what's what's left in the budget? | ||
Because I'm looking to, you know, this project. | ||
And they were like, oh, you're good. | ||
Everything's you know, you're totally fine. | ||
Like everything replenished. | ||
And they were like, the only thing that's really been going on is, you know, so-and-so's monthly invoice or whatever. | ||
And I was like, who? | ||
Yeah, what? | ||
And they're like, yeah, him and his two staff members. | ||
And I was like, what? | ||
What? | ||
I was like, I never authorized that. | ||
And they're like, I don't know. | ||
And I was like, what do you mean you don't know? | ||
Is my signature on any of this stuff? | ||
Like, I don't know. | ||
And I'm like, you guys have been paying this dude for a year. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
He just, hey man. | ||
He knows how it works. | ||
He figured, hey, I'm not complaining. | ||
Not my money. | ||
Worth a shot. | ||
Not my money. | ||
So, good for him, dude. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Mark Robertshaw says, See the U.S. | ||
Navy test a new laser weapon that can make the Chinese anti-ship missiles worthless. | ||
That's just what they are showing. | ||
They also have railguns. | ||
Dude, I was reading about a railgun that was so powerful, they fired it at a helicopter, and it caused vacuum pressure that crushed the helicopter. | ||
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
Yeah. | ||
I don't know if that's true. | ||
It was a long time ago I was reading this. | ||
Because when it exited, it sucked all the air out like a tin can. | ||
Wow. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's great. | ||
Mr. Pickle says, we've been landing, landed planes on boats since World War I. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
The Chinese landed their first plane in the boat in 2010. | ||
We're good on defense. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Wow. | ||
P. Smitty says, Tim, can you please say witness protection in your best Tony Soprano voice? | ||
I don't know what Tony Soprano sounds like. | ||
I've never seen that show either. | ||
Steven Gable Tim we have one big advantage on China good or bad | ||
We have 30 plus years of almost continuous combat experience when was the last time China fought a war an | ||
actual war yeah But you got to watch out man cuz like what the Russians did | ||
it's the zap brand again strategy You know keep sending them wave after wave of my own men | ||
until the kill bots quota was filled was it yeah I don't remember exactly on future | ||
They can only kill a certain amount before they shut down. | ||
Just send wave after wave of my own men. | ||
Terrible. | ||
That's what China will do, though. | ||
As a sacrifice they are willing to make. | ||
Are they, though? | ||
Maybe. | ||
I mean, I've seen a lot of stuff coming from China that I'm sure they don't want the world to see. | ||
I have a feeling most of the Chinese citizens can't stand the CCP. | ||
Nah, I don't know about that. | ||
Very indoctrinated. | ||
Worse than Russians. | ||
That's the optimism in me though. | ||
And seeing these videos, people are like, they're doing these little selfies like, this can get me killed. | ||
Just wanted to say to the rest of the world, they don't represent all of us. | ||
I was like, yes. | ||
I'm here for you. | ||

Lee Watt says, honestly, back on the family job topic, the only thing I've seen where it's multiple generation type profession is farming anymore. | ||
It may be because I myself took part in the system, but you really don't see a family who has multiple generations of accountants. | ||
I don't know, that would be a weird thing, right? | ||
We're just really good with numbers. | ||
Just imagine it's like, you know, it's like, so what do you do for a living? | ||
unidentified
|
Ah, I am an accountant, like my father, and my father before him, and his father before him. | |
It's like, that's a very noble profession. | ||
Yeah, I know. | ||
For generations. | ||
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
No, but for real though, there actually is. | ||
Like, there are family businesses that do accounting. | ||
And they'll have their family come in and do work and see if it happens, you know? | ||

You gotta go flawless to get specific guns. | ||
Wow, dude, that's crazy. | ||
Hey man, those are jobs, you know? | ||
The Grizzly says, hey Tim, if I can make a suggestion for your tabletop channel. | ||
I say you guys should use Dwarven Forge tiles. | ||
They're little magnetic painted squares that can link together and they make dungeons and buildings. | ||
I love their stuff. | ||
Ooh, you want to write that down? | ||
unidentified
|
That's cool. | |
Dwarven Forge. | ||
That's good. | ||
I'll buy some. | ||
Yeah, that sounds fun. | ||
Samuel Farmer says, Adam, sci-fi movies, TV shows are what inspired me to get into science and technology. | ||
It showed me what could be and seeded a desire to create things no one else could dream of. | ||
Not there yet, but I'm working towards it. | ||
Awesome. | ||
I think sci-fi movies are good, man. | ||
I feel the same way. | ||
Because someone will imagine something, they'll make it in a movie, and then someone will be like, how could we actually do that? | ||
Yeah, Star Trek. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Cell phones. | ||
Dude, tablets. | ||
Yeah? | ||
Tablets. | ||
Like, Picard's always holding a little tablet, and he's like, it was touchscreen too, wasn't it? | ||
Oh yeah. | ||
Man, now we made it. | ||
We invented it. | ||
Yeah, I mean look at look at the I don't know who who saw the dragon capsule like the the interior They they got rid of all the buttons. | ||
Yeah, they had there's only a few buttons I can't even think like 5,000 miles of copper in the original Wow You know the space spacecraft so they got rid of all of it now. | ||
It's just three flat screens. | ||
It's like yes Star Trek. | ||
Oh That's basically the same. | ||
That's so cool. | ||
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
Wow. | ||
Spicy. | ||
Tim Taylo says we have Navy destroyers that can fire three or four times farther than any other modern naval weapons | ||
and the impact is like a bomb. | ||
We have one of those in the South China Sea. It can literally bomb their cities from the sea for pennies given | ||
the ammo is cheap. | ||
Wow. Spicy. Love it. | ||
All right, so we'll take a couple more questions. | ||
We got a ton of new members. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And I will... Thank you, everyone, for becoming members. | ||
Alex, Peter, Ligma, and Eric. | ||
Ligma, that's a good one. | ||
Thanks for becoming members. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Justin Brom says... Thank you very much. | ||
Everyone needs a micro farm, growing your own food, raising your own chickens, beekeeping, hunting, and fishing. | ||
Skills like grafting, pest management, equipment, and infrastructure maintenance, all useful. | ||
And then if we get into a war, we'll all be very, very self-sufficient people. | ||
Good, sir. | ||
I applaud you. | ||
Indeed. | ||
You know what, man? | ||
Maybe we should put together a nonprofit that is very, very simple and very cheap, but encourages and helps people set up gardens and mini farms on their property. | ||
That'd be so cool. | ||
If you've got a lawn. | ||
Permaculture, yo. | ||
Yeah, just grow a little bit of food, you know? | ||
Like you were saying the other day, get rid of lawns. | ||
Why do we have lawns? | ||
We spend so much energy on grass and we don't do anything with it. | ||
I know. | ||
What do we do? | ||
Do we mulch it? | ||
Like, just compost it? | ||
You can at least grow alfalfa and sell it to a farm for cows to eat or something. | ||
They don't even do that. | ||
You know who likes alfalfa? | ||
Bunnies. | ||
Bunnies like alfalfa. | ||
unidentified
|
They love it. | |
They love it. | ||
The buns. | ||
No, it is funny, like, we have a garden. | ||
You literally just put it in the ground, it grows. | ||
It's magic. | ||
unidentified
|
It's very magical. | |
It's amazing. | ||
And then you come out one day and you're like, I got food. | ||
We have peas, carrots. | ||
But think about what we do with grass. | ||
Yeah, grass just grows too, and then we're like, throw it in the trash! | ||
I mean, if you're one of those deer people, it makes sense. | ||
Sure, have some grass. | ||
That is the only case in which it makes sense. | ||
If you're a deer person and you want to eat grass, yeah. | ||
unidentified

Alright, let's see, where are we at? | |
Patrick Carey says, Tim, your channels are having notifications delayed. | ||

Jean-Pierre Bordeaux says, I get all the Civil War talk, but I sometimes feel like this will end up more like the Revolution of 1848, if you have read up on that. | ||
I haven't, but I will. | ||
Same here, I don't know. | ||
Magic Man says, China's PLA are used for propaganda and not for war. | ||
PLA last war was in 1979 against Vietnam and China lost. | ||
Ooh, really? | ||
Wow. | ||
Well, it is 10, which means it is time for us to go to bed. | ||
I have an announcement before we leave. | ||
I have created an email for Timcast IRL. | ||
Timcast IRL is not available. | ||
No variation of that was available. | ||
So, our email is spintheufo at gmail.com. | ||
I'm hoping that's memorable enough. | ||
We need to make an actual one. | ||
How do you want to do it? | ||
We need to make a domain one. | ||
Temporary email is spintheufo at gmail.com. | ||
We can do at timcast.com, can't we? | ||
We'll get it sorted. | ||
Right, we'll figure it out. | ||

I gotta go to bed. | ||
I wake up at like 6.30, get back to work. | ||
