Oh, am I on? | |
You're on. | ||
Oh, I like starting it. | ||
It's my show now. | ||
That's right. | ||
Only because you have the light button. | ||
No, no, no, no, no. | ||
It's my show now. | ||
That's right. | ||
We negotiated and we talked since yesterday. | ||
Everyone's like, oh no, are they going to stop doing the show? | ||
No, no, no. | ||
It's my show now. | ||
It is now the Atomcast IRL. | ||
He forgot to change it. | ||
It's okay, I'll forgive you. | ||
You're still hired. | ||
Smash that like button, because this is my show. | ||
That's what we do here. | ||
We smash the like button. | ||
That's the whole show. | ||
That's it. | ||
I'm just gonna sit here for two hours, smashing the like button over and over and over again. | ||
Oh, sorry. | ||
All right, all right. | ||
What's up, everybody? | ||
How you doing? | ||
Tim Kosta, IRL. | ||
I have, I have, uh... Tim is still here. | ||
We have important news. | ||
There is important news. | ||
New Jersey has announced it is now mandatory to wear a mask in all outdoor public spaces. | ||
I don't know necessarily what that means, but it's a mandatory mask lot. | ||
We are leaving New Jersey. | ||
Oh yeah. | ||
We are a family-friendly show, so let me just say F New Jersey. | ||
Indeed. | ||
You know, look, I should have learned my lesson from all of the shows that have made fun of New Jersey for being just awful. | ||
But this place is the worst. | ||
You know, it's funny, I've straight up, I've been making fun of New Jersey for like 25 years. | ||
Yeah, man. | ||
Seriously, 25 years. | ||
Because I went to high school outside of Philadelphia. | ||
And man, everyone hated Jersey drivers. | ||
Jersey drivers, that term, I've heard for so long. | ||
And then I moved to New York. | ||
And guess what I heard? | ||
Jersey drivers, oh, they're the worst. | ||
So here's the news. | ||
In honor of this mandatory mask law, I have purchased a special mask. | ||
That I will have to wear whenever I go outside apparently. | ||
Look, if you go outside onto a street, that's public space, right? | ||
So this is the mask that I have purchased. | ||
It's a sports memorabilia mask for one of our longstanding football teams. | ||
The Washington Redskins. | ||
Wait, does that mean we have to wear a mask when we go skate outside in the backyard? | ||
Not in the backyard. | ||
That's private. | ||
Oh, okay, good. | ||
That'd be ridiculous. | ||
But if you want to, like, ride your board down your street. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Down the street. | ||
So yeah, I actually got a Redskins mask just because, in all seriousness, if they change the name, it would be cool to have, you know, before... Because also, I think the Chiefs, the Indians, there's a bunch of teams that are, like, for some reason named after Native Americans, and they're gonna change them all. | ||
So I thought it'd be cool, but it'd also be very funny if they change the name because it's offensive, and then I'm wearing it. | ||
There you go, New Jersey! | ||
And I'll be like, hey, hey, hey, look, hey, hey, yo. | ||
unidentified
|
Football team. | |
No one will care, though. | ||
It's stupid. | ||
There was this funny thing where this guy made a shirt that said Caucasians. | ||
And it was the same logo, but like a white face profile. | ||
And I'm like, but that's not a slur. | ||
No one cares. | ||
Like, I really thought there was a white guy who saw that and went, hmm. | ||
Got all angry. | ||
He's probably just like, oh, that's a funny shirt. | ||
I get it. | ||
It's a joke. | ||
I mean, I get it. | ||
It's a funny joke. | ||
I mean, do we know for a fact that... Can I even say the name? | ||
I feel like you're avoiding saying the name. | ||
What name? | ||
The... Redskins? | ||
I said Redskins. | ||
Yeah, I said it. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Well, alright. | ||
I want to know who's actually upset. | ||
Like, who's actually upset about Aunt Jemima? | ||
Like, who's really upset? | ||
Nobody's mad about Aunt Jemima. | ||
Nobody is. | ||
No, no, no, hold on, hold on. | ||
Actually, the family. | ||
Yeah, I was gonna say the family is. | ||
The family of Aunt Jemima's mad they got their name pulled off. | ||
Ridiculous. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Totally backwards. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
So, uh, apparently, that dude who ran over, not ran over, but ran into the Black Lives Matter activists. | ||
That's a terrible story. | ||
Vehicular homicide charge. | ||
Dawit Kalete. | ||
They've destroyed this man's life. | ||
I agree. | ||
You know, you gotta love it, man. | ||
Lady Antebellum. | ||
Changed their name to Lady A. Should we talk about this? | ||
Lady A? | ||
No, well, I guess you're bringing it up. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
Yeah, yeah, no, look. | ||
Lady A is an actual singer, I guess from Seattle, a black woman. | ||
Lady Antebellum changes their name for Black Lives Matter. | ||
Hold on, I want to read exactly, this is... Well, we're gonna get into it later. | ||
Oh, we're gonna talk about it later? | ||
Yeah, yeah, I'm just doing a general intro. | ||
I'll wait till later then. | ||
What we have here... | ||
is a group of white individuals in a band trying to take the name from a black singer and suing her to steal the name. | ||
You have a bunch of white progressives dancing in the highway. | ||
Not exaggerating. | ||
They were doing, what was it called, like the candy cane shuffle or something? | ||
Cupid shuffle. | ||
The Cupid shuffle? | ||
Yeah, I think that's what it's called. | ||
On the highway. | ||
Yeah, at night. | ||
And this guy, it's at night, they're wearing all black, around a bend, with vehicles obstructing your view, and a guy is driving, and he tries to swerve out of the way, hits him, and now this guy is going to go to prison for a long time. | ||
So, these are the stories that we have. | ||
We have a bunch of other stuff, too. | ||
We're going to talk about this cancel culture stuff. | ||
We're almost going to lead with it. | ||
The co-founder of Vox has been canceled. | ||
That's it. | ||
He's not allowed to talk anymore, I guess. | ||
But you don't like Vox anyway, right? | ||
Vox is okay. | ||
It's okay. | ||
But they are like the snooty elitist of this, you know, of the far left. | ||
Okay. | ||
So, they're the ones who, instead of screaming in your face, they'll walk up to you and go, Actually, Lady Antebellum is well within their rights to take the name from this woman. | ||
It's not racist when we do it. | ||
That's what Vox is like. | ||
Legally, I've read all about it. | ||
I'll talk about it later, I guess, when we actually talk about it. | ||
It's a crazy story. | ||
I can't believe it. | ||
I want to pretend like I'm going to be shocked. | ||
Oh, you mean to tell me that privileged leftists are sending a black man to prison because they wanted to dance on the highway. | ||
And then you've got this, I think she's a blues singer, is now being sued by this band. | ||
Is she not African-American? | ||
She is. | ||
That's the point. | ||
It's these white progressives who are like, actually, we're not the racists. | ||
You're the racists. | ||
Now let's go ruin the lives of these people. | ||
They're disgusting, man. | ||
I can't stand these people. | ||
Yeah, when I read it, I... | ||
I laughed at first because it was so bizarre and out there that because they changed their name because of inclusivity and Black Lives Matter. | ||
For Black Lives Matter. | ||
And then I read this today that they're now suing her. | ||
I laughed and then it dawned on me that it wasn't satire. | ||
It wasn't a satire article. | ||
I was like, oh wait, this is serious. | ||
We also got a flashback Wednesdays. | ||
It's Wednesday, right? | ||
Yeah, it's Wednesday. | ||
Okay, it's Wednesday. | ||
Don Lemon, 2013, said Bill O'Reilly doesn't go far enough in criticizing the black community and then he goes on to say a whole bunch of things that if we said today, that if anybody said today, would be insta-banned from like every platform. | ||
Don Lemon went off the rails Like, man, I can't believe he even said this back then. | ||
2013, that wasn't that long ago. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It seems like a long time ago, though. | ||
Bill O'Reilly said, people make personal choices that result in their, you know, detriment and poverty. | ||
And then Don Lemon's all like, yeah, he's right. | ||
But he doesn't go far enough! | ||
And then he specifically starts pointing out all of these things, just, wow, man, wow. | ||
So that's the point, man. | ||
I wanna call this out. | ||
We talk about it a lot, but these people, man. | ||
Hypocrisy. | ||
Hypocrisy. | ||
Man, I'm sick of it. | ||
Entitlement. | ||
I'm sick of it. | ||
So if you haven't already, make sure you SMASH! | ||
SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH! | ||
Sorry. | ||
Thank you. | ||
That was new. | ||
I don't know where that came from. | ||

I dare. | ||

I like it. | |
In your head. | ||
Smash it. | ||
And if you want to, you can super chat. | ||
Because we will read some of your super chats later in the show. | ||
But let's do this. | ||
Let's jump over to this story, man. | ||
The New York Times reports driver charged with vehicular homicide in death of Seattle protester. | ||
The driver, DeWitt Colletti, 27, struck two protesters with his car early Saturday, one of whom later died, prosecutors said. | ||
Now, before we read this, they point out these women are non-binary. | ||
These they? | ||
The women? | ||
These they are non-binary? | ||
These they. | ||
These thems? | ||
I don't know what the right word is. | ||
What do I call them? | ||
Non-binaries? | ||
Honestly, this new thing about, uh... I mean, I'm trying to be literal. | ||
Babies. | ||
Have you heard this? | ||
Babies? | ||
I know Lydia's like, oh, I've got a lot to say. | ||
No, this is a new thing. | ||
They call them babies because they're not giving them a gender. | ||
Yeah, they're children. | ||
We're trying to talk about news, right? | ||
I'm trying to be respectful and follow the rules of YouTube. | ||
They're not women. | ||
So, I don't know what to say. | ||
unidentified
|
That sounds terrible. | |
No, it's got the word men in it, and that's triggering. | ||
That's fine. That's triggering. | ||
Point of privilege, point of privilege. | ||
That triggers me. | ||
Theymen. | ||
Theymen. | ||
They're not men. | ||
It's spelled with an I. M-I-N. | ||
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
I think that actually works. | ||
I mean that in all sincerity. | ||
They-men. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They? | ||
Yeah. | ||
And man. | ||
As in humans. | ||
Like man, woman, and they-men. | ||
What else? | ||
Is there a word? | ||
Non-binaries? | ||
They-men. | ||
Okay. | ||
So they-men are non-binaries. | ||
These they-men are non-binary. | ||
So let's see if the New York Times gets it right when they talk about it. | ||
Let's read the news here. | ||
I'm holding my breath. | ||
A Seattle man. | ||
How do they know that? | ||
Oh, did he tell them? | ||
Are they assuming his gender? | ||
They sure are. | ||
I mean that literally, though. | ||
Look at the beginning of the next paragraph, too. | ||
The man. | ||
That's so weird that they do that. | ||
Straight up. | ||
That's weird that they do that, though. | ||
I mean, at least they're not throwing a race word in there, too. | ||
Well, why don't they just say, DeWitt Colette? | ||
Or let's read it. | ||
A Seattle man who authorities said drove into a protest on a closed section of Interstate 5 over the weekend, killing one demonstrator, was charged on Wednesday with vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, and reckless driving. | ||
The man, DeWitt Colette, 27, is being held with bail set at 1.2 million dollars. | ||
Why? | ||
It was an accident! | ||
Yeah, clearly. | ||
Welcome to the morality policing world, man. | ||
Get out of the cities, get away from these people, because I'll tell you what. | ||
They will break into your house, you will defend yourself, and you will go to prison. | ||
They will dance on the highway. | ||
Think about how insane that is. | ||
I don't care if it's closed or not. | ||
This dude clearly wasn't intending to hit them. | ||
Now he gets a 1.2 million dollar bail, he gets to go to prison. | ||
Two of the charges, vehicular homicide and vehicular assault, are felonies. | ||
A spokesman for the prosecuting attorney's office said they have destroyed this man's life. | ||
Now, I get it. | ||
He was driving. | ||
He hit two people. | ||
One of them died. | ||
They say straight up, it's not murder. | ||
It's a manslaughter charge, meaning it was an accident. | ||
He wasn't supposed to be on the highway. | ||
They don't clarify how he got on the highway, but it was not an intentional killing. | ||
His life is now over because he is stupid, and that's about it. | ||
And they wanted to dance on the highway. | ||
The Washington State Patrol and FBI were still investigating the matter, and Mr. Colletti could face additional charges, according to a statement from the prosecutor's office. | ||
The authorities said that Mr. Colletti was driving a white Jaguar XJL when he drove into the protesters at a high rate of speed early on Saturday morning, striking two protesters. | ||
You see, they just keep saying protesters instead of them. | ||
One of them, Summer Taylor of Seattle, died later that day at the hospital. | ||
Another protester, Diaz-Love of Portland, Oregon, was hospitalized in serious condition. | ||
A sobriety test indicated that Mr. Collette was not under the influence at the time, according | ||
to a police report. | ||
Diaz-Love, who, like Summer Taylor, uses non-binary pronouns, shared a hospital selfie on Facebook | ||
this week with a message saying that they were alive and stable. | ||
No, wait, wait, wait, no they weren't. | ||
One of them died. | ||
They meaning the one person. | ||
The paragraph talks about two people. | ||
Yes. | ||
They would have to say, they is. | ||
That is correct. | ||
They is alive and stable. | ||
I'm not exaggerating. | ||
No, no. | ||
Grammar. | ||
Grammar is being thrown into a blender and shredded because of this. | ||
If you're going to be talking about two people, then they must follow a singular. | ||
So it should say, they is alive and stable. | ||
That's a good point. | ||
That's true. | ||
Because it says, Diaz love, like Summer Taylor, shared a hospital selfie, I cannot believe Summer was murdered. | ||
Murdered? | ||
They wrote. | ||
If they thought this murder would make us back down, they are very wrong. | ||
Who's they? | ||
Now who's they? | ||
I can't, this is ridiculous, man. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
Language is supposed to help us understand what's happening. | ||
And I kid you not, when I read this I was like, wait, they're alive? | ||
No, but she was murdered. | ||
What is she talking about? | ||
Oh, they. | ||
What is they talking about? | ||
And it wasn't murder. | ||
It wasn't murder. | ||
Yeah, first of all, it wasn't murder. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
Look, man, I'll tell you what. | ||
I'm not saying this in any way to be disrespectful or funny. | ||
I can't understand when I'm reading and they say, oh, you know what they're talking about. | ||
If the New York Times writes a paragraph with multiple people in it and then says they are alive, why would I assume a singular at all? | ||
So they need to use they can't use the pronoun here. | ||
It would have to say, to be completely fair, that Diaz Love shared a hospital | ||
selfie with a message saying that Diaz was alive. | ||
It would have to use her name. | ||
Yeah, you have to use a specific name. | ||
Correct. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, and then and then it's messed up. | |
Summer. | ||
Wait, Diaz calls it murder. | ||
And you can tell that's the emotional side that will never relinquish. | ||
Because my friend was murdered. | ||
My fellow protester was murdered by this person. | ||
Vaman. | ||
I read into the police report and he constantly was asking if they were okay. | ||
He felt terrible. | ||
It's like, there's no way that they got murdered. | ||
That is a ridiculous claim. | ||
He felt terrible. | ||
He has a strong family. | ||
They're all immigrated here, legally working. | ||
It's sad. | ||
I'm so ready to just shut everything down and just take the van down to the river, man. | ||
I'll take over. | ||
Think about how stupid this is. | ||
That the New York Times wrote a nonsensical paragraph to placate this person for this story. | ||
Well, they, they, they prefer they pronouns. | ||
So now we're going to break the paragraph and I'm supposed to understand and just know, I tell you this, if the right, if a regular person was reading this, they would assume they were both alive. | ||
Yeah, that's true. | ||
It mentions two people and says they were alive. | ||
And then the very next sentence is, I can't believe they were murdered. | ||
Summer was murdered. | ||
Wait, what? | ||
Well, technically it's they, because they're both days, right? | ||
So they were murdered. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Here they say, uh, the episode was followed dozens of similar incidents involving cars striking demonstrators. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know all about it. | ||
It was not clear which incidents were premeditated and which were prompted by rage as drivers found their routes | ||
blocked by protesters. | ||
I'll go ahead and say very few of them. | ||
There's a story out of New York City. | ||
It was on 42nd. | ||
It was near, I think, near Bryant Park. | ||
And an SUV was trying to drive down the street. | ||
Yeah, I saw that. | ||
The protesters run up and block it. | ||
The car stops. | ||
They start yelling, you gotta go another way. | ||
And the guy's just sitting there. | ||
The SUV's not moving. | ||
Well, he couldn't. | ||
They were surrounding the vehicle. | ||
They were jumping on his hood. | ||
Right. | ||
And then somebody says, pop his effing tires. | ||
Well, actually, before they even say that, you can hear someone took the thing off. | ||
Yeah, they're hissing. | ||
They're draining his tires. | ||
The hissing of the air popping out or coming out. | ||
And then people start hitting the car. | ||
And so he speeds up, and they start screaming, get out of the way, get out of the way, and then he takes off and he drags a bike. | ||
And then the story was SUV plows through protesters. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
Dude, I'm not in a good mood about any of this stuff. | ||
The media has no credibility. | ||
Nope. | ||
None of these people actually watched any of the videos. | ||
Correct. | ||
They didn't bother to. | ||
They didn't do their job. | ||
These people don't do their job anymore. | ||
Could you imagine if I hired a plumber and he showed up at your house and just went in the living room and played video games? | ||
You'd be like, bro, I'm not hiring you to do this. | ||
He'd be like, well, I'm on the clock. | ||
Too bad. | ||
Yep. | ||
But with journalists, people just assume they must be correct. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The journalists have realized this. | ||
Well, they're not journalists. | ||
They're not journalists anymore. | ||
They're actors. | ||
I'm talking about NY1. | ||
I know. | ||
They're actors. | ||
That's what it is. | ||
They're just TV actors. | ||
Exactly. | ||
And then they just get a robot to write up a generic fake article. | ||
Yep. | ||
No one has any idea what happens. | ||
And then everyone else rewrites the same trash. | ||
Mr. Colletti's lawyer, John Henry Brown, told the AP that he was remorseful over the incident, and there's absolutely nothing political about this case whatsoever. | ||
Mr. Colletti lives with his parents in Seattle. | ||
So, what do they gotta put up? | ||
They gotta put up 10% for him to get out of jail? | ||
$120,000. | ||
This guy, he works for DoorDash. | ||
And now he's going to go to prison because he was just dumb. | ||
Look, I think these laws are so stupid. | ||
So stupid. | ||
I'm totally down with prison reform. | ||
How does it make sense that someone who did not intend to kill someone is facing a $1.2 million bond? | ||
I don't know. | ||
That doesn't seem fair. | ||
Right. | ||
The criminal intent. | ||
You know what, man? | ||
No, they're using this. | ||
They're using this as fuel to burn, to get more angry, emotional outbreaks from the people that they think are winning this, this civil war, this mental civil war that we keep talking about. | ||
That's what it is. | ||
It was an accident. | ||
They're placing their bets. | ||
This guy should have been let go right away. | ||
guy in New York, the guy in New York got taken into custody and released. No charges. | ||
Yep, exactly. I mean he didn't kill anybody, granted. You know, so this | ||
actually did result in a death, which is terrible. But he did not, he didn't murder anybody. | ||
It was absolutely an accident. They don't know how he got on the highway. For all we know, | ||
they could have forgot one of the exits, or the entrances. | ||
He could have just been going up. | ||
The GPS might have just been like, take a right onto the entrance and followed it up. | ||
Did they put a hard roadblock in the highway? | ||
What if he got on a long time ago? | ||
Right. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And we're reading wrong. | ||
They don't even know yet. | ||
So how are they adding this and making this what they're slamming on him when they don't even have all the information? | ||
Well, maybe it'll go to trial. | ||
Maybe maybe he'll win. | ||
But you think this guy's gonna be able to afford a real attorney, a real lawyer to defend him? | ||
No, I certainly want to give him a little bit of help. | ||
Yeah, seriously. | ||
So here's, I pulled up the state law for Washington. | ||
They say, vehicular homicide, it is a manslaughter charge. | ||
A crime related to manslaughter is vehicular homicide, which is defined as a death caused by any type of motor vehicle, including a car, SUV, taxi, motorcycle, truck, or bus. | ||
Under state law, any death that occurs within three years after an auto accident due to injuries incurred in the accident can be considered vehicular homicide if the accident was caused by another driver's negligence. | ||
Yeah, I think you're right. | ||
It's gonna cause more disruptions, more people being upset. | ||
and put him in prison for several years over what's obviously an accident. | ||
To make an example out of him. | ||
Yeah, I think you're right. | ||
But what's that gonna do? Nobody knows! | ||
It's gonna cause more disruptions, more people being upset. | ||
No, I'm talking about the law in general outside of all of this. | ||
Okay. | ||
Like, these laws are everywhere. | ||
It never made sense to me when they're like, somebody is driving a car, and it's negligent, not malicious, and they get into an accident, and they're sad, and they're upset, and it was an accident, and they have no intent on committing crimes ever again. | ||
And so you're like, yeah, but we think we should just totally destroy your life and lock you up for several years. | ||
Yeah, not only do you have the death of someone on your conscience forever. | ||
Without the intent to actually kill them. | ||
Exactly. | ||
It was an accident. | ||
They say accident. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
I mean, that's what I was saying the other day. | ||
Like, I feel bad for this guy because, I mean, he was in the car. | ||
He heard them hit the car. | ||
And he tried stopping. | ||
He continually asked the cops, are they okay? | ||
He tried stopping. | ||
I want to know if they're okay. | ||
Please tell me if they're okay. | ||
They attacked him. | ||
And they came after him, so he drove further away. | ||
It's like, he didn't drive away. | ||
He waited for them. | ||
Man, I feel bad for him. | ||
He's got it on his conscience. | ||
It's like, that is enough. | ||
That's terrible. | ||
He didn't do it on purpose. | ||
It's a class A felony. | ||
It's insane. | ||
If a person commits vehicular homicide under the influence of drugs or alcohol, an additional two years will be added to the sentence. | ||
So I believe, as a felony, it's probably a minimum of one year. | ||
I don't know entirely. | ||
It could be different in Washington. | ||
But what about the people who are on the highway? | ||
Don't they have responsibility for breaking the law? | ||
Or who led them there? | ||
Who was letting them dance on the highway? | ||
It's not even about who let them. | ||
Nobody did. | ||
But they broke the law by being on the highway of obstructing a highway. | ||
That's a good point. | ||
Do they have no responsibility? | ||
Are any of these other people going to be arrested? | ||
No. | ||
I'll tell you what. | ||
Arrest this guy, lock him up for vehicular homicide. | ||
I get it. | ||
The law's in the books. | ||
And every single person doing that stupid shuffle dance should get charged for whatever the charge is for obstructing a highway. | ||
The police won't do it. | ||
And for causing an accident. | ||
For causing a death. | ||
Not just an accident, a death. | ||
Every single one of those people on the highway should be charged with some kind of... I 100% agree with you. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
But this is the name of the game, man. | ||
This is why I want to get as far away from these cities as possible. | ||
It is in our faces. | ||
You will be driving down the road, they will jump on your car, they will shoot you, and then you will get arrested if you try and do anything. | ||
They have given these people carte blanche to just go around and do whatever they want with impunity. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So can the feds come in and do something about this? | ||
Not this guy specifically, but they were on an interstate. | ||
That's federal jurisdiction, right? | ||
How about you charge them, Trump? | ||
Charge these people for blocking the highways. | ||
They keep doing it across the country. | ||
Now, there's no law and order, and it's not going to come from the Republicans. | ||
It's not going to come from Trump. | ||
I have no faith in anybody. | ||
You know, I look at what's going on in New Jersey Second with Jeff Andrew. | ||
You know what's going on with this? | ||
No, what is it? | ||
Jeff Van Drew is the guy who switched from Democrat to Republican. | ||
Oh, okay, right. | ||
So now what do we get? | ||
We have a district that is traditionally Republican voting in a moderate, right-leaning Democrat. | ||
Okay. | ||
Probably the furthest left Republican in the Republican Party. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Now that's fine because Jeff Van Drew, I think, is an okay dude. | ||
I don't agree with some of him. | ||
He's actually further right than I am. | ||
But if the whole party is being, if all of our political space is being pulled to the left, that even in this district that's Republican, they're going to vote in, you know, a left-leaning, technically a far-left Republican by Republican standards. | ||
I'm not convinced that whatever happens in November is going to rectify any of this. | ||
These cultural issues have nothing to do with politics, and politics comes so far after the cultural issues, it's pointless. | ||
There's nothing, I don't, I'm sorry, man, I'm being pessimistic, but I don't know what can be done at this point. | ||
Yeah, and actually on that note, it's like they're mixing them both together. | ||
So you can't even start an argument because politics, culture, it doesn't matter to them. | ||
It's all in this big mess of that's what they're angry about. | ||
It's like, well, what are you angry about? | ||
Well, the culture and everything and the society and all the political realm. | ||
It's everything's fault. | ||
So you can't even like start a conversation because it's all of it together. | ||
They combined it. | ||
We have jumped so hard into authoritarianism over the past several months, over the past several years, and this is cultural. | ||
There is no changing it. | ||
There is no resistance to the authoritarian takeover. | ||
There is no Republican, there is no conservative, there is no right-leaning individual that is part of a large resistance group that challenges this stuff. | ||
The closest thing you have to it is the intellectual dark web. | ||
A group of academics and high profile individuals and some conservatives who are challenging this. | ||
What I mean to say is of course there are people who are Trump supporters, conservative, moderate, who all agree this stuff has gone too far, but there is no collective organization that works like the left does to destroy our civil rights and civil liberties. | ||
It's true. | ||
In California, they have literally voted the state assembly and the state senate to repeal civil rights law from their constitution. | ||
It is happening in our faces. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
Across this country, morality placing is taking over and there is no organizing from anyone anywhere to challenge it. | ||
There's a little bit, but what ends up happening, you know, and what I've been seeing from a lot of commentators is that conservatives sit back and say, wow, this stuff is bad. | ||
I'm going to vote for somebody come November. | ||
But the politics comes later. | ||
Who's the one who said that politics is downstream from culture? | ||
Andrew Breitbart. | ||
That's one of my favorite quotes. | ||
That's why everything always moves to the far left. | ||
Because all of these big brands think left is safe, no one knows what the line is for the left, and no one is challenging it. | ||
And when you do, you get banned. | ||
There's a few that are standing up right now. | ||
But think about the organizational power of the left. | ||
They have dozens to hundreds of non-profits that manipulate, lie, target, destroy, harass, and the right has people. | ||
Individuals. | ||
And that's the weakness. | ||
And that's actually the core philosophy of each side in a sense. | ||
The right is individualist and the left is collectivist. | ||
So the left forms a collective, gets a bunch of dumb people to send stupid emails, They go out, they block highways, committing a crime, nothing happens. | ||
They tear down statues. | ||
How many people have been arrested for tearing down statues? | ||
Like five. | ||
And that's Trump. | ||
Yeah. | ||
For the most part. | ||
I think a lot more now. | ||
There's a handful of people at the state level who have been arrested. | ||
Okay. | ||
But you look at the sheer number of people who have gone around doing this. | ||
Then you look at the people who painted over two letters of Black Lives Matter in that California town, getting charged with a hate crime. | ||
This is it, man. | ||
We saw it with COVID. | ||
We see it now with the riots. | ||
If you go out and say lockdowns are bad, Here's a $500 fine. | ||
You go to church? | ||
Remember when those people went to church in their cars and the cop went car to car giving out tickets? | ||
Oh yeah, but you can dance on the highway, no problem. | ||
Well now it's even getting worse. | ||
People are going to church and the Black Lives Matter movement is showing up and screaming at the people going to church. | ||
And going into the church and shutting it down. | ||
Shut it down! | ||
Black Lives Matter! | ||
You guys are in the church. | ||
Like, what are you fighting against right now? | ||
I thought it was police reform. | ||
And then now it's, you know, bring down the patriarchy and the nuclear family. | ||
And it's like, what is your, what is the goal? | ||
You know, I don't think, I don't think anything's going to stop this. | ||
No? | ||
When Trump supporters, bikers for Trump, came out to that small Ohio town and counter protested, the media said far right, violent, all that really negative stuff. | ||
Well, I mean, every everybody but the far left is far right to them. | ||
So, of course, because of the cultural institutions being controlled by the ideological left. | ||
So if I think there's only so I think there's a there's a couple now. | ||
Voting won't change anything. | ||
It's too late. | ||
Electing a politician won't do anything. | ||
Because then two years later, you will have an ideological backlash from the fact that they're banning conservatives, they're banning moderates. | ||
You're not allowed to say certain words or names. | ||
So what do you think happens in the next election if Republicans win? | ||
The Republicans will do nothing. | ||
They will not pass 230 reform. | ||
They'll say, well, you know, private corporations, that's a good argument, and they'll argue about it. | ||
And then two years later, the screeching, reeing left will vote in their people, take the House, and pass hate speech laws. | ||
They'll get their Supreme Court, you know, nominees if Trump doesn't win. | ||
Then they'll start making rulings on what the First Amendment doesn't actually talk about, you know, about hate speech, so we can make hate speech illegal. | ||
I don't see a way out unless literally 9 out of 10 Americans stood on their front porch and put a flag up or something asserting that we will not be bullied. | ||
How do you get the supposed silent majority to be the vocal majority? | ||
That's something I've been asking myself every day, Tim. | ||
People keep saying the silent majority will speak up in November, and Trump will win, and the Republicans will win. | ||
Yeah, maybe. | ||
Maybe they will. | ||
Or maybe it doesn't matter whether or not there's a silent majority at all. | ||
I can't remember who said this. | ||
I think it may have been Michael Malice? | ||
I'm probably crediting the wrong person. | ||
Maybe it was Jesse Kelly. | ||
Whatever, I'm shouting you guys out, so I don't know who said it. | ||
They said if a tree falls in the forest and no one's around to hear it, did it make a sound? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
So if there is a silent majority and they're silent, they may as well not exist. | ||
It makes a sound. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
That's okay. | ||
I think that was Greg Gutfeld. | ||
Yeah, five days ago. | ||
No one knows, no one cares, no action is taken. | ||
The tree is never removed. | ||
You just have a downed tree and you have the problems caused by a downed tree. | ||
So if you have a silent majority and they say nothing, they may as well not exist. | ||
It doesn't matter. | ||
I think that was Greg Gutfeld. | ||
Was it Greg? | ||
Yeah, five days ago. | ||
Yes. | ||
I shouted out the wrong people. | ||
That's all good. | ||
Greg, good tweet. | ||
And I commented to it and you responded. | ||
I just shouted out a bunch of people, whatever. | ||
It was, you know, it's like, it's always one of them. | ||
They make good points, right? | ||
They do, they do, yeah. | ||
So the way I see it is we've, you know what I was thinking earlier? | ||
I was like, you know what I think? | ||
I think we lost a long time ago. | ||
I think so. | ||
Sun Tzu out of war. | ||
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
You win the war before going to war. | ||
I disagree. | ||
Bro, we just, we've been watching across the country. | ||
Sure. | ||
People being charged, like a cop being, he's facing the death penalty for doing his job, and there's no protest, no riot, no one speaking up. | ||
Like, I say no one, I'm being, I'm exaggerating. | ||
Of course there are some people speaking up. | ||
There's no collective organizations. | ||
The blue flu in Atlanta was only like a hundred and something off a hundred. | ||
It was over 300 people. | ||
300 cops. | ||
Are you sure? | ||
In Atlanta? | ||
I just, oh no, in LA. | ||
No, no, in Atlanta, over Rayshard Brooks, it was like 150. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
They gotta have more cops than that in Atlanta. | ||
Even the cops don't stand up for each other, which is surprising. | ||
In New York, there's been a little bit of a blue flu, L.A. | ||
had a blue flu. | ||
But these are jurisdictions with tens of thousands of police officers and support staff. | ||
They don't stand up, they don't speak up, nobody cares. | ||
Look, man, how do you have, for, I think it was 19 days, these people were dancing on the highway, and the cops didn't arrest any of them. | ||
They're allowed to do this. | ||
They're allowed to break the COVID rules. | ||
They're allowed to break CDC regulations. | ||
You're not going to convince me. | ||
I'm not trying to convince anyone. | ||
I'm just complaining. | ||
I don't like complaining. | ||
I'm sick of people complaining. | ||
I want to work on the answer. | ||
What we need to do. | ||
What do we need to do? | ||
I get it. | ||
I get it. | ||
That's why I keep saying, like, they're firing on all cylinders. | ||
They're trying their hardest right now because they are losing the power that they've been used to for so long. | ||
What power? | ||
The power to control the masses. | ||
The power to do what they really feel like. | ||
This is them unleashing the beast. | ||
The beast to try to reclaim the control that they are clearly fighting for. | ||
What? | ||
When did they lose it? | ||
They've been controlling cultural institutions forever. | ||
They haven't lost it. | ||
I'm saying their grip is loosening. | ||
They're seeing it. | ||
That's why they hate Trump so much. | ||
But if their grip is loosening, why is it worse? | ||
Trump's flipping the table on them. | ||
Because it's getting worse and worse. | ||
Trump's finally canceling China, basically. | ||
Yes, he spoke about China for a long time, but all of a sudden it's... That doesn't change their control of cultural institutions, which dictate our politics three, four years later. | ||
If they are getting away with breaking the law, and the states and the police and the DAs are all supporting it, and all the major corporations are supporting their religion, Then what? | ||
It doesn't matter if Trump does anything to China. | ||
It doesn't even matter if Trump wins, because in four years, you're not reversing two decades of indoctrination. | ||
Well, we're not seeing it because, number one, the media isn't going to want anyone to see this. | ||
All right? | ||
I'm hearing stories that sheriff departments are like, we're not wearing masks. | ||
We're not enforcing this mask law anymore. | ||
And it's happening. | ||
I'm seeing little inklings of it because it filters out. | ||
People are like, yo, check this out. | ||
This is actually happening. | ||
And I look into it and it's true. | ||
So there's places out there that they are standing up. | ||
It's the cities then. | ||
Yeah, absolutely. | ||
It's the cities. | ||
And who controls the cities? | ||
The Democrats. | ||
They want this to go on. | ||
That's why they're using this guy as an example. | ||
They're like, oh man, we got to give him the $1.2 million bond. | ||
That's obscene. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
They're taking it up to 11, and they're pushing on everyone, trying to convince the rest of us. | ||
Like, they're convincing you. | ||
You just told me, I don't think we're gonna win. | ||
I think we've given up. | ||
I think we already lost. | ||
I think we've already lost. | ||
Even worse. | ||
They got you. | ||
Well, they didn't get me. | ||
Got me in what regard, though? | ||
They've convinced you that you've lost. | ||
And what does that accomplish for them? | ||
You're going to give up. | ||
You're going to go live down by the river and I'm going to take over the show. | ||
No, we're moving to the middle of nowhere to get out of the cities. | ||
I know, I'm just making a... I'm kind of making a joke, but I'm also... You just basically said that, though. | ||
So it's like, I'm not going to be convinced that they're going to take over our country. | ||
No, I'm not. | ||
Absolutely not. | ||
I'm going to keep doing my research. | ||
Every day I do hours of research. | ||
I'm learning how we got to this point. | ||
I'm learning the laws that we have right now. | ||
I want to know all the stuff so that I can talk about it and figure it out. | ||
Because I just said, I don't like complaining. | ||
I don't like complaining. | ||
I don't like people that complain. | ||
I want to talk about the solutions. | ||
I want to work on how to move forward. | ||
What's the solution? | ||
Really? | ||
You think I wouldn't have led with that if I had the solution already? | ||
Give me an idea of what you think we do now. | ||
More people need to do exactly what I'm doing right now. | ||
Do their research. | ||
Open their eyes. | ||
Look what's actually happening. | ||
That's what needs to happen. | ||
And then what? | ||
And then what? | ||
What do you mean? | ||
Yeah, how do they apply it? | ||
Like, just in voting? | ||
Man, I wish I had all the answers. | ||
I wish I had all the answers. | ||
Well, I am not going to give up. | ||
No way. | ||
Give up in what regard, though? | ||
What? | ||
Roll over and let them win? | ||
Let them destroy our history? | ||
Let them tell me that, you know, this country isn't great anymore? | ||
Like, that we're not, like, On the forefront of showing the world what it's like to be free, what would inspire the silent majority to all at the same time go out in the streets and march in the hundreds of thousands? | ||
That's a great question. | ||
It's a great question, Tim. | ||
I don't think anything. | ||
Alright. | ||
I think there's a couple big problems. | ||
With the hyper-concentration of the progressive left in cities, all they have to do is walk out their front door and they find thousands of people who agree with them. | ||
For conservatives and moderates, you live in the suburbs, you live in the rural areas, you're miles away from the next person, you'd all have to fly to one city to be seen. | ||
So this is an interesting thing about Donald Trump's inauguration, and they mocked him over it, saying that nobody showed up. | ||
Well, Trump's got a huge rural voter base. | ||
They're not all gonna fly to DC, they're gonna watch online. | ||
So, based on the online livestream numbers, he had a really large inauguration viewership. | ||
If brand marketing, big business, has already been infiltrated by the far left, I guess. | ||
They just shift whatever mask they're wearing to keep people buying, spending all their money on the stuff they don't need. | ||
That's exactly what it is. | ||
PayPal will ban you outright if you have bad opinions. | ||
And they control, I think, like 76 or 78% of all financial transactions online. | ||
Some ridiculous number. | ||
Next up is Stripe. | ||
Other than that, there's basically nothing. | ||
And Stripe has the same rules. | ||
Same rules. | ||
Makes me not want to use PayPal anymore. | ||
Do you see what happened? | ||
Do you know what happened with Gab? | ||
What about it? | ||
I think it was Gab. | ||
Google seized their domain name, right? | ||
Let me look it up. | ||
Was that Gab? | ||
I think so. | ||
I think it was Gab. | ||
Maybe that was the Daily Stormer. | ||
Oh. | ||
I think it might have been the Daily Stormer. | ||
Gab had, uh, right now, Torba, the guy who founded Gab, has been banned from credit card companies. | ||
No, no, I think it's just Visa. | ||
Okay. | ||
And anybody who is, like, associated with him, write his address, can't use Visa anymore. | ||
Okay. | ||
What happens if Visa and MasterCard ban you? | ||
And they have done this already. | ||
One guy, his name is... I think Robert Spencer? | ||
Is that the guy? | ||
Oh, the jihadist guy? | ||
Yeah, he's a well-known researcher. | ||
Not Richard Spencer. | ||
His name is Robert Spencer. | ||
And apparently MasterCard contacted Patreon and said, terminate his income. | ||
And Patreon said, you got it. | ||
And then one day he woke up and all of his income for his business was gone. | ||
Chase Bank. | ||
banned Enrique Tarrio, the chairman of the Proud Boys. | ||
They terminated his personal accounts because a journalist contacted them and said that he was, you know, far right or whatever. | ||
That's scary. | ||
So these companies, these financial institutions, already have the rules in place and they will ban you if you get out of line. | ||
You will not be able to use a credit card. | ||
You will not be able to open a bank account. | ||
It's happened. | ||
These people are gone and no one's done anything. | ||
And that's it. | ||
They're just gone. | ||
Like, their businesses were destroyed. | ||
They're no longer in the public realm. | ||
And it keeps happening. | ||
And it's been getting worse. | ||
And now we've graduated to the next level, where these people of this ideology can willfully break the law on federal property, and no one charges them with a crime. | ||
So what do we do, Tim? | ||
What is the answer, huh? | ||
Are you going to give up? | ||
Are you going to stop speaking out? | ||
Are you going to go live down by the river? | ||
Half. | ||
We literally are going to live down by the river. | ||
That's funny to laugh at, but I'm actually, I'm serious. | ||
I'm not kidding when I say halfway there. | ||
Getting away from the cities, getting out of New Jersey. | ||
Dude, I tell you, I know a lot of people who have fled the cities. | ||
In New York, 500,000 middle class and wealthy people have fled the cities already. | ||
Yeah, don't blame them. | ||
So maybe that will strip their power away. | ||
Maybe that's a big move that will take the power away from these institutions. | ||
There's also the argument that a major flood of progressive leftists into rural areas will overwhelm the rural areas, and then it will fracture the Electoral College and then give the intersectional left the win from this point on. | ||
I mean, people have already said there will never be another Republican president after Donald Trump. | ||
Yeah, I think that's silly, too. | ||
Well, the Republican Party will change. | ||
Okay. | ||
It has been changing. | ||
In a good way, though. | ||
You know, we have to have the ability to change. | ||
That's kind of what cancel culture is ridiculous because, you know, it's like they don't allow people to, number one, admit that they were wrong. | ||
Doesn't matter if you were wrong, you're canceled, you're done forever. | ||
You can't change, you know. | ||
Like, Don Lemon changed in the worst way, you know? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
But, like, he said some really solid stuff that, like, makes sense. | ||
To me, anyway. | ||
And, you know, now he's this drone, you know? | ||
Because he conformed. | ||
Well, not everybody's... Now people are seeing it and they're like, this is ridiculous. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
This is a drone. | ||
What's the worst case scenario if we all just said, okay, to the left? | ||
I don't want to think about that. | ||
I'm not going to cater to that, no. | ||
I would never do that, so no. | ||
I'm not even going to talk about it. | ||
Many of these people who have bent the knee to them will keep their mouths shut and keep feeding their families and say, you know, I don't care about anybody else but myself and if I just stay quiet, keep my head down, I'll get by. | ||
I'll just tell them to look at what the mayor was doing in Seattle. | ||
That worked real well for her. | ||
Go do it. | ||
Summer of love. | ||
Three days later, they show up at her house. | ||
She's the mayor. | ||
So think about it this way. | ||
If there's a thousand potential targets, and you stick your head up and say, hey, enough, it's you. | ||
If you keep your head down, it's one in a thousand. | ||
You might get by. | ||
I'd be willing to bet this is the problem we have with the silent majority. | ||
Most of the people are saying, why should I guarantee the risk to myself when I can cross my fingers and hope I don't win the lottery? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Ask Terry Crews. | ||
He's on a stage. | ||
He's using his voice. | ||
I'm on a stage right now. | ||
I'm using my voice. | ||
I hope a lot of people are listening to what I'm saying. | ||
And doing their own research. | ||
In fact, they're hitting me up saying, thank you. | ||
I'm doing research. | ||
I'm seeing what it is. | ||
I used to be a Democrat. | ||
I'm no longer a Democrat because I see what's going on in the world. | ||
So I'm doing what I can right now. | ||
This is what I can do. | ||
I want to see. | ||
These people were on an interstate highway, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So where's Bill Barr? | ||
Come on. | ||
Lock him up. | ||
Good question. | ||
Lock him up. | ||
Good question. | ||
Two people died. | ||
Why was Seattle having anything to do with it? | ||
If it was an interstate? | ||
That's federal. | ||
When I was in, during the Ferguson protests, they organized an interstate protest, and they were specifically warned by the organizers that interstate is federal jurisdiction, which means if you get arrested, you are not going to a local county station, you are going to be taken by the feds, and the feds never lose. | ||
That's right. | ||
So they were like, keep that in mind if you choose to do this. | ||
Maybe there's two scenarios. | ||
Trump is disorganized and not paying attention. | ||
He's got other things to worry about and so no one's going after these protesters who keep doing this. | ||
I think the president's paying attention. | ||
Then maybe they're ignoring it on purpose because it makes people like me angry. | ||
Really angry. | ||
It makes people like me really angry too. | ||
I guess I'm just going about it a little differently than you are. | ||
I want to know, when it comes to November, if I have a choice between Biden, which is obviously a no, and Trump, but Trump has the ability to start arresting these people on federal highways, why he didn't do it, why he deserves my vote. | ||
I like the Garden of Heroes. | ||
That's a good rebuttal. | ||
I like that he's actually sent out DHS and FPS to go start arresting some of these people who are destroying things on federal property. | ||
That's like being mad at him for killing 100,000 people because of COVID. | ||
It's like, you think that the president of the United States can handle being the president and doing... I don't know. | ||
I've never been the president. | ||
I don't know what entails that job, the amount of stuff that they have to do, knowing exactly what's going on with every single country, you know, all around. | ||
The pressure's probably immense. | ||
No wonder he goes golfing. | ||
It's like, I like golfing. | ||
I've been golfing. | ||
I get it. | ||
So you think he could lean over to someone and say, I want you to go talk to, you know, Barr or someone at the DOJ and I want these people prosecuted. | ||
He can't do that? | ||
There's, there's, I know when, when to, when I know something and I know when I don't know something. | ||
It's like, I have never been in that position. | ||
I could never understand the pressure that he is in. | ||
I won't pretend to know. | ||
So I want tangibles. | ||
Okay. | ||
I will not simply be like, well, I guess I'll vote for Trump if he's not doing anything for me. | ||
Well, we're not, we have no idea what his platform is yet. | ||
Like they, he's waiting for the DNC to, to tell everyone that Hillary's running instead of Biden. | ||
Is that? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Hillary's going to run and take over for Biden. | ||
She said it today that she would probably beat Trump. | ||
Well, it was an interview. | ||
Oh, it was Friday, right. | ||
And she said that she would beat him in November. | ||
And that's maybe what they're waiting for. | ||
They're waiting for something to happen because Biden's going to drop out. | ||
But here's what I can say. | ||
People are like, admit it, you're going to vote for Trump or whatever. | ||
And I said, leaning towards probably if it was today, we'll see what happens. | ||
And that's because for one, Garden of Heroes, awesome. | ||
I love it. | ||
I literally love it. | ||
I do too. | ||
It's incredible. | ||
Beautiful. | ||
Everyone agrees. | ||
They don't, which is stupid because they should. | ||
They definitely should. | ||
I don't get it. | ||
Department of Homeland Security protecting statues. | ||
I like it. | ||
Fantastic. | ||
Me too. | ||
Excellent job. | ||
And I want to see when they have the power to actually arrest these people. | ||
Leaving the WHO? | ||
Great, great idea. | ||
That I don't know about. | ||
I think so. | ||
I think there's a lot of problems and I think Trump might be pulling a big ask. | ||
I think China and the WHO are working hand-in-hand. | ||
And then China dumped in $2 billion when Trump said we wouldn't fund you. | ||
And China was like, don't worry about it. | ||
Here's $2 billion. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Again, it's another mask that China's wearing. | ||
I think, at this point, you have to have faith, you have to have hope, that a Republican sweep of the House and the Senate, plus a Trump victory, will reverse course and save this ship. | ||
And it doesn't matter if you think it can't either. | ||
Even if you think, like I was saying, maybe we already lost. | ||
I'm not saying we don't go vote, we don't keep trying. | ||
It means, like, maybe we need to start making plans for what that entails. | ||
So tell me, what would that entail? | ||
What does that mean? | ||
Moving out of cities. | ||
That's it? | ||
Just moving out of cities? | ||
Yeah. | ||
And then we take it one step at a time. | ||
So you have people who have been indoctrinated their entire lives and are a part of a new religion that cannot be broken from their minds. | ||
And we have four years of Trump, hopefully, if he wins, or I shouldn't even say Trump, it's not even about Trump, it's about the Republicans doing 230 reform. | ||
Section 230 reform would be like a silver bullet that will, you know, reverse course so fast. | ||
For the online community? | ||
For this country. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Forcing these tech companies to uphold legal speech will flip this boat around in two seconds. | ||
The DOJ has already proposed it. | ||
It's a good idea. | ||
It's a good point. | ||
They can't get it through the House. | ||
And so it's not going to happen unless the Republicans win both the House and the Senate. | ||
That is our best hope. | ||
Well, they don't want that because that is like their last vestige of control. | ||
You know, the fact that they can ban anyone that disagrees with them, that they're canceling people left and right that are further on the right than what they want. | ||
You know, I'm probably on their radar right now. | ||
I'm sure I'm on their list. | ||
You got many cancelled. | ||
Kinda. | ||
Your video where you were explaining voting for Trump, they nuked that several times. | ||
I'm pretty sure Facebook shadowbans my posts now. | ||
I've been very vocal on Facebook lately, so people know that I'm not happy with it. | ||
When Tim Pool does a video where he's like, cancel culture is bad, but Trump is still kind of bad too, they say, that's fine, ignore him. | ||
But then you jump on the show and you're like, no, I'm going all in for Trump. | ||
Then they're like, that's a problem. | ||
They tolerate me. | ||
They want me to be as far right as people are willing to go. | ||
Then you step on board and you're like, I'm going all in, and they're like, ban his video. | ||
Unapologetically, man. | ||
I regret nothing. | ||
I will never... I won't change my vision, my opinions, because they want me to. | ||
No way. | ||
I'll stand against that wall, man. | ||
As Terry said, I'll die on that hill. | ||
Gladly. | ||
I'll stand with Terry Crews, man. | ||
So, what do you do if the blue wave hits, they sweep the House and the Senate, Biden wins, and it's just blue all across the board, baby? | ||
Now, Mike Cernovich said, in this scenario, it would result in a very far-right government in four years. | ||
Because Joe Biden is weak and the blue wave would result in a loss of law and order. | ||
People in cities and rural areas would not tolerate the lawlessness and it would cause a major backlash among the silent majority who rushes out and then votes in all hard right across the board. | ||
Based on the trajectory of British politics, there's good reason to believe that regardless of the polls, we are going to see the biggest Republican victory in a hundred years. | ||
That makes sense to me. | ||
But it's not based off of a hard data point, it's anecdotal. | ||
Yeah, but the hard data points that they're shoving down everyone's throats, we've already known that they're not the truth. | ||
They've been broken since 2015. | ||
Probably before that, to be honest. | ||
Probably before that, but it didn't matter because they had their mascot as president. | ||
When Obama was in the presidency for eight years, polls were relatively, you know, pointless. | ||
Right. | ||
So the polls could have been broken for two decades now. | ||
Good point. | ||
And we might not even know. | ||
You're absolutely right. | ||
They can't track it properly. | ||
I wasn't political back then. | ||
I had no idea. | ||
But the important thing is that the national polls in 2016 weren't actually wrong. | ||
They got the popular vote mostly correct. | ||
There was a margin of error, so they actually got it right. | ||
Okay. | ||
The problem was that The probability of Trump winning was considered to be nil. | ||
However, what's that poll called? | ||
Which one? | ||
NorPoth or whatever. | ||
Oh, that was the professor who was talking about- The professor. | ||
Yeah. | ||
He's saying 91% chance that Trump wins. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Off of primary votes. | ||
You want to know something crazy? | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
New Jersey won't release the primary vote tally for Trump. | ||
No way. | ||
Yep. | ||
Really? | ||
So the official reporting is that the numbers will not be tallied because the race is uncontested. | ||
Oh, that's funny. | ||
So maybe that's the hope. | ||
Maybe they're desperately trying to sweep us under the rug. | ||
Dude, they're trying to convince the public that there's no hope anymore. | ||
I see it when I look at you talking to me for the past 25 minutes. | ||
I'm not saying don't vote and don't fight. | ||
I know that. | ||
I know that that's not what you're saying, but you are awfully defeated about this. | ||
And that's what, that's, I'm, I'm, not necessarily, you might not be convinced, but that's what they're trying to do. | ||
They're trying to convince people that it's pointless, you've lost, don't even, you can't speak up, because we're going to cancel you, we're going to call your job. | ||
I'm saying to speak up. | ||
I am too! | ||
I'm speaking up! | ||
The point I'm making about recognizing we may have already lost is that even with four years of Trump and the Republicans, the culture of the far left will not change and these people are indoctrinated. | ||
They will not be changed. | ||
See, I don't know if I agree with that because of what we were talking about last night about how fast We've gone in six months, right? | ||
How fast have we gotten here? | ||
How long has it changed? | ||
And then you made a good point of, you know, we really haven't looked at the nuances of how long it's really been going on, which is more like since 2010, 2012. | ||
Probably Facebook. | ||
Yeah, since the abundance of everybody being on Facebook and becoming like a You know, younger and younger children, you know, kids have gotten onto Facebook at an earlier age. | ||
What, you know, what is the number one thing Chinese kids want to do when they grow up? | ||
Do you know what the answer is? | ||
An astronaut. | ||
Yeah, that's correct. | ||
And American kids. | ||
You know what it is? | ||
YouTuber. | ||
Influencer. | ||
They want to be influencers. | ||
Have I told you how this started? | ||
No, what? | ||
So, I'll give you the academic breakdown. | ||
I had a conversation with Peter Boghossian about this. | ||
We did a podcast. | ||
And James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose. | ||
And his view as a, you know, he's in academia, I believe he's an associate professor of philosophy, was that it started, this ideology of intersectionalism, started in the late 70s, 80s. | ||
Okay, so I don't want to lose the reason I was bringing this up. | ||
So we got here, and we're here now, right? | ||
and started teaching their students and it's spread since then. | ||
Okay. | ||
And now we have a generation that were raised on this ideology. | ||
They've entered the real world. | ||
Okay. So I don't want to lose the reason I was bringing this up. | ||
So we got here and we're here now, right? | ||
Everyone's seeing it. | ||
Everyone's because even because of the pandemic, it's even more crazy. | ||
Everyone's actually seeing it, talking about it, saying, wow, this is really crazy, this kind of mentality that people are gaining because of the internet. | ||
We're calling out teachers. | ||
We're seeing what they're actually teaching our children. | ||
People are starting to homeschool. | ||
So it took us to here. | ||
And I think it's going to be even faster when we suddenly just go, we've had enough. | ||
230 reform. | ||
We need it. | ||
I absolutely agree with you. | ||
230 reform would be Donald Trump pulling out of, what was that gun we were watching earlier? | ||
The 500 Magnum? | ||
The 500 Magnum. | ||
The barrel was super long. | ||
Putting a silver bullet in. | ||
Boom! | ||
President Trump, if you are listening to me right now, or our show, number one, I'd be honored. | ||
And number two, Listen to what he just said. | ||
He would be pulling out, like, you ever see the Joker when the Joker pulls out that really long revolver? | ||
Oh yeah, love that scene. | ||
Putting a silver bullet in it and then boom! | ||
Yeah, two things. | ||
230 reform and ending the war on drugs. | ||
Oh, definitely. | ||
Well, I mean, if Trump came out and said, like, the week before, the first thing I'll do is an executive order releasing nonviolent offenders. | ||
Amazing. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I think it's sitting in his pocket. | ||
I think he's sitting on it. | ||
Maybe. | ||
I hope so. | ||
I don't know why he wouldn't do it. | ||
It's so weird to me. | ||
It's like, I mean, maybe there's something we don't know about what's going on in the inner workings of government, but... | ||
Let me tell you why 230 Reform is so important. | ||
To go back to that point about how we got here. | ||
When I was bringing up Peter Boghossian, that was his view, and I disagreed. | ||
Many different ideologies exist. | ||
Many different non-theistic religions exist, and they're not prominent. | ||
Intersectionalism became prominent because of Facebook algorithms. | ||
When Facebook launched, and publishers realized they could make money by getting shares on their articles, Clickbait. | ||
Emotions. | ||
That's an emotion? | ||
Emotion. | ||
I think clickbait was invented by Upworthy. | ||
So, the specific clickbait, people don't understand this, clickbait is when you omit information from a title so that | ||
people feel pain. | ||
Emotions. | ||
No, you feel a pain. | ||
That's an emotion. | ||
I guess. It's actually a negative, it's a physical painful response. | ||
Emotion. | ||
So when you see a headline that says, I can't believe this man actually did this to the dog, how | ||
gross. | ||
Sure. | ||
Well, no, what happens is there's actually a negative physiological response people have when they don't experience the complete process. | ||
That makes them want to, like, I have to know. | ||
I have to have the complete pull-through. | ||
You have to tell me what it is. | ||
And so they realized this and started repackaging content, videos, YouTube videos, but clickbait titles, which generated a ton of revenue. | ||
So here's the basic process. | ||
A publisher emerges and goes on Facebook, and they write a news story. | ||
They say, Adam Kriggler lands perfect backflip. | ||
People see the headline, and they're like... You could have said hardflip. | ||
Perfect hardflip. | ||
Because I actually did today. | ||
It was fantastic. | ||
Adam Kriggler nails hardflip in the backyard. | ||
You could say that a million times. | ||
I love it. | ||
Now, what if they did a clickbait headline? | ||
I can't believe Adam Kriggler pulled this off. | ||
Which one gets more traffic? | ||
The second. | ||
The clickbait, obviously. | ||
They started to realize that anger actually got more shares than clickbait. | ||
That's true. | ||
It's proven. | ||
And so the evolution changed. | ||
And that women share more than men. | ||
So they realized that when they would do a video or an article about police brutality, they would get ten times the shares of an average article. | ||
And so immediately the boss of this company said, do more of this. | ||
All of a sudden you were met with this conundrum where a legitimate news organization would get a thousand views, and your clickbait rage, the police are bad, would get ten thousand. | ||
Five hundred thousand, yeah. | ||
Yeah, five hundred thousand. | ||
Crazy amount, yeah. | ||
Then the venture capital came in, and they said, who do we fund? | ||
Well, clearly they get way more views. | ||
Fund them. | ||
Something magical happened. | ||
The people realized that if they wrote about racist police, they would get X views. | ||
They also realized that when they wrote about sexist police, they would get Y views. | ||
unidentified
|
Ding! | |
Lightbulb. | ||
Racist, sexist police is XY views. | ||
X plus Y views. | ||
Or arguably, X times Y. And that's where intersectionalism became extremely prominent. | ||
You ended up with articles that would say something like, there's one article from Vice that was like, black trans women fighting police brutality are the feminist heroes we need for Black Lives Matter. | ||
It's like they just took literally every word possible and jammed it into a headline. | ||
Oh, it's like that article we read about Ivanka Trump. | ||
Exactly. | ||
Yes. | ||
That put all of the keywords. | ||
Or like that little video that's how Vice makes their... they close their eyes and just throw something at the wall. | ||
Venezuela, transgenders, ketamine dealers. | ||
And then that's an actual article that they Well, so but that's true. Yeah, and so you were getting | ||
these different keywords that would attract people but then vice also learned the lesson | ||
Yeah, just put racist sexist anti gay Donald Trump and now but now we're at a phase where all those | ||
Gen a certain generation of people, you know, including myself like there's a certain age group that that kind of | ||
fell into that right And they were they were a part of that. | ||
And now we're kind of coming out of it. | ||
And a lot of those people have kids. | ||
A lot of my friends have kids. | ||
They're teaching their kids that this is craziness. | ||
You know, they aren't letting them have iPads anymore. | ||
It's kind of like I feel like it's coming around. | ||
You know, I can only really speak for myself ever. | ||
So, in my own personal experience, I'm seeing what they're doing. | ||
I know what clickbait is. | ||
The word, the term clickbait is in everybody's vocabulary. | ||
We all know what clickbait is. | ||
We don't. | ||
Really. | ||
The definition of clickbait is... has changed. | ||
Okay. | ||
Well, again, my own personal experience and the people that I know, every, almost every person I know, you know what clickbait is? | ||
Yeah. | ||
I'm pretty sure, you know, I'll do a poll. | ||
You know what clickbait is? | ||
99% of people right now say clickbait is like a sensational title. | ||
That's not clickbait. | ||
That's either, like, you could argue it's ragebait. | ||
Ragebait is something different. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
Clickbait literally is, so there's a forum on Reddit called Saved You a Click that specifically targets clickbait. | ||
Yeah. | ||
People now refer to ragebait as clickbait. | ||
Okay. | ||
Ragebait would be like, you know, racist, sexist, anti-gay, Donald Trump does a backflip. | ||
Okay. | ||
You want people to get angry so they click on it. | ||
Yeah, I would argue that it's the same. | ||
Clickbait is a literal definition. | ||
Well, we can talk semantics, but I don't want to. | ||
You can argue that rage bait is a form of clickbait from a parent tree kind of perspective. | ||
Sure. | ||
Let's just go with that. | ||
The origins was literally omitting information to trick someone into, like to force them to click. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But I think one thing that happened with that too is that people got tired of it. | ||
I just started scrolling past it. | ||
I'm like, if you don't tell me, I don't want it. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
You're absolutely right. | ||
And I think that's widespread. | ||
Section 230 reform. | ||
I love that. | ||
That's the magic bullet. | ||
I think it's a good idea. | ||
We need that. | ||
The DOJ proposed it. | ||
I don't think they go hard enough. | ||
The general idea is that if the speech is legal, it can't be removed. | ||
Otherwise, you lose your liability protection. | ||
But they're making speech illegal anyway. | ||
It's like they're choosing what's legal. | ||
So like, where's the line? | ||
They're clearly not caring anymore. | ||
They're like, whatever, we're just gonna ban whatever we don't like. | ||
So you're saying we lost, it's hopeless? | ||
No, absolutely not. | ||
We have to stand up more than ever. | ||
We have to speak up. | ||
That's exactly what I'm saying. | ||
There is a challenge in what constitutes harassment, because there are harassment laws. | ||
And someone could argue, like, he tweeted at me three times, and I told him to stop, and he kept doing it, and maybe you'll see more of that. | ||
Good, I don't care. | ||
Don't harass people. | ||
Even if it is minor, then we'll have to figure out where that line is. | ||
Well, I mean, sending someone death threats is pretty significant. | ||
Versus going on every single... being a reply guy and just, like, saying mean things all the time. | ||
It's just like, okay, you can just block them. | ||
You can just ban them from your page. | ||
So there was a guy in Canada who, after he got blocked, kept tweeting at him, because you can. | ||
And then he got... I think he won, but he got arrested for harassment because of this. | ||
Okay. | ||
Either way, look, man. | ||
If we say that legal speech is protected, then the past 10 years will be erased. | ||
All of a sudden, you'll see every conservative start saying exactly what they think, what they want. | ||
You'll have people who have been banned coming back. | ||
Maybe not necessarily coming back because they might say, oh, our bans are, you know, ineffective or whatever. | ||
But this would be massive. | ||
There's another potential for victory, and that's decentralization, which we're seeing now with the Win Network. | ||
The Donald.Win. | ||
This is really hilarious, right? | ||
You start with Reddit. | ||
Reddit was basically a parent forum with a bunch of smaller forums. | ||
And then because Reddit has become totalitarian, like the Justice Served subreddit announced you can no longer post | ||
videos of people of color who are committing crimes. | ||
Yeah, I saw that. | ||
Like, wow, what? | ||
Like, what? | ||
Right, they're choosing, they're pushing the specific narrative that fits their cause only, that's it. And that's, | ||
that is not free speech. | ||
Well, they don't believe in free speech. | ||
I know. | ||
Exactly. | ||
You can make white people look bad. | ||
Well, so here's what happened. | ||
Thedonald.win declared independence. | ||
Good for them. | ||
And they created their own website that's a clone of Reddit. | ||
And it's actually growing in rankings. | ||
It's not surprising. | ||
Something magical happened. | ||
What? | ||
Several other subreddits declared independence. | ||
Nice! | ||
And are now part of an independent decentralized dot win network. | ||
Oh, you can do that. | ||
So, people are actually becoming aware of this clickbait culture? | ||
Cancer culture. | ||
These forums are the anti-SAW forums. | ||
It's not a new discovery for these people. | ||
These are the forebearers of the fight. | ||
Right, but they're separating themselves because they're realizing that it's cancerous. | ||
They're cutting the cancer out off of their body, basically. | ||
They're declaring independence. | ||
Sure. | ||
And so this might restore some of the balance outside of 230 reform if these communities that are anti-SJW, that are conservative, moderate, intellectual dark web, say, we're going to have our subreddit be a functioning independent website. | ||
No one can change the moderators. | ||
And if people don't like it, they can just leave. | ||
No one will have the power to ban them or control their speech. | ||
I love that. | ||
Sounds great. | ||
So, Dave Rubin has been working on Locals.com, which we've talked about a little bit privately. | ||
For those that aren't familiar, the general idea is it's your own website. | ||
It's a functioning social media network with an independently connected network between other channels. | ||
But it's your website on your server. | ||
No one can touch it. | ||
It's pretty cool. | ||
No one's going to ban you. | ||
No one can ban you. | ||
It's your website. | ||
Someone could go to Dave and be like, Dave, you know, this person on Locals said a naughty word, and he'll be like, I mean, that's their server. | ||
What are we going to do about it? | ||
Yeah. | ||
And so that decentralization is a large solution to this. | ||
The problem is, like with Parler, Parler came out and immediately the leftist media attacked it as far-right, extremist, Nazi, etc. | ||
Yep. | ||
Although this time... Still, they're still doing it. | ||
However, because of high-profile conservatives, it didn't stick. | ||
It didn't work all that much. | ||
That's true. | ||
When Parler first came out, I'm not entirely sure what happened because it was a while ago, but I think Apple tried banning it from the App Store. | ||
Oh wow. | ||
And then I think it was Trump Jr. | ||
Somebody intervened and was like, why? | ||
And then it like got reinstated or whatever. | ||
So now they're trying to run a smear campaign saying all the worst possible things about it. | ||
And it's because the left controls all the cultural institutions. | ||
So one of the biggest problems the right has is they're not cool. | ||
I actually talked to this musician about this, and he was pointing out that one of the things that works really well for what we're doing on this show is that we're, like, stereotypically cool guys. | ||
Skateboarding, you know, music playing. | ||
You know what's really cool? | ||
Hipster types. | ||
You know what's really cool? | ||
Standing up for what you believe. | ||
That's right. | ||
Saluting the American flag and following all the rules. | ||
That's cool. | ||
And you know what? | ||
It's crazy because there's a lot of people on the left that do exactly that. | ||
And that's why they're so powerful right now. | ||
We need more people standing up for what's right. | ||
Because they think they're right over there. | ||
And they stand up for themselves. | ||
And they stand up. | ||
They do. | ||
And they proudly scream into the air what they believe. | ||
Do you want to hear something really funny? | ||
Of course. | ||
There is a punk rock song from a band called Propagandi. | ||
Okay. | ||
And it's called Stick the F-ing Flag Up Your G-D-A-U. | ||
Son of a B. Wow. | ||
And the song, they're Canadian I guess. | ||
But I remember listening to that song when I was a kid because my older brother showed it to me. | ||
And the song is basically like, this dude is being told to salute the flag, conform, and don't you dare speak out against it, otherwise you'll be destroyed. | ||
And so then he says, well, if this country is so GD-free, then I can burn your effing flag, you know, whenever I damn well please. | ||
The interesting thing about it is that there's today, I was listening to the song earlier, you know, I used to listen to a ton of punk rock, and I'm like, this makes no sense. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't like that at all. | ||
you can burn the flag and that's it and nobody you don't get | ||
canceled for it. I don't know I don't like that at all because you burn | ||
specific flags and that's hate speech but you burn the American flag that's | ||
that's not hate. | ||
Interesting. | ||
That's you saying that it's hate speech. | ||
You know what I'm gonna do? | ||
I am going to rewrite the lyrics to that song. | ||
Oh, yeah? | ||
Yep. | ||
Cool. | ||
And I'm gonna say the same thing. | ||
If this country is so free, I can burn your flag. | ||
Whichever one. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But anyway, I was listening to the song and he basically talks about... One of the lines is... Romanticized murder for morale. | ||
Okay. | ||
Talking about the war. | ||
Tie a yellow ribbon around the oak tree, my friend. | ||
And gee Wally, that's swell. | ||
Like the idea is like... | ||
Back then, when they wrote this song, it was, you supported your country, they would go to war, you do as you're told, and if you spoke up against it, it was like, oh, ye gad. | ||
Like, someone brought this up, that if in the early 2000s, you mentioned that the reason we were under attack by terrorists was because of, it was retaliation for our actions in the Middle East. | ||
You would be banned, canceled, kicked off shows. | ||
Bill Maher had his show, Politically Incorrect, Right. | ||
Canceled for you know and so yeah, so the political correctness existed the funny thing now is on the left | ||
It's all leftist cultural. You know censorship. Yeah, like it always exists in some form | ||
Yeah, the funny thing is it listen listen to this song I'm like it like thematically fits more with our fight | ||
against the left than it does anything to do with challenging war interesting | ||
but for one big reason Donald Trump is trying to pull our troops out of | ||
Afghanistan, and they are stopping him I don't get that. | ||
They're smearing him. | ||
They're attacking him. | ||
They're saying, no, we must investigate this Russia collusion stuff. | ||
And I'm like, if I was going to write an anti-war song right now, it would be like, yay Donald Trump, not F Donald Trump. | ||
Right. | ||
It would be like, bring our troops home. | ||
Donald Trump is the only one doing it. | ||
What? | ||
Right. | ||
I mean, there's Rand Paul. | ||
Don't get me wrong. | ||
Thomas Massey. | ||
There's very few people that are actually, like, anti-war. | ||
And this is the craziest thing. | ||
To see Republicans cheering right now, being like, yay, we're ending the wars. | ||
I'm like, wow. | ||
Yeah, wow. | ||
That's where we're at. | ||
You know what's really weird about it? | ||
Tell me, Tim. | ||
The, uh, Bad Religion wrote a pro-alt-right song. | ||
Really? | ||
Yep. | ||
That's kinda weird. | ||
unidentified
|
Really weird. | |
I never really listened to Bad Religion, so I don't really know that music. | ||
I used to listen to Bad Religion all the time. | ||
Left-wing. | ||
They claimed that this song was against the alt-right. | ||
But if you listen to it, you're like, uh... Sounds kinda good. | ||
This is not against the alt-rights. | ||
It's telling people to, like... It's promoting them. | ||
There's like some lines in the song... Now, when you say alt-right, like, what are you talking about? | ||
White nationalism. | ||
Okay. | ||
Like, people who believe there should be a country just for, you know, the white race or whatever. | ||
The kids aren't alt-right. | ||
The kids are alt-right. | ||
They are, okay. | ||
That's the name of the song. | ||
And like, the chorus is, everybody needs somebody, join the party, and become alt-right today. | ||
Oh my god. | ||
It's like, that's fairly pro. | ||
Maybe their goal was to be like, ironic? | ||
Okay. | ||
But right now, you know, the argument for the left is that ironic humor is the same as. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So they basically made an ironic Nazi song where they're pro-Nazi. | ||
And here's what I think. | ||
Some people swing for the fences and not everyone gets a home run. | ||
That's a good point. | ||
I think the issue that the issue, though, is as much as the left look, man, punk rock is not left wing anymore. | ||
If you wrote a song where you were like, F the war, bring the troops back, F American imperialism, you're not talking about the left. | ||
They're pro-war. | ||
Not all of them. | ||
You have the progressive anti-war people, they tend to agree with us on our positions about free speech. | ||
People like Glenn Greenwald, for instance. | ||
They get their free speech battles the issue of Israel and Palestine, but they absolutely like it's funny seeing Glenn Greenwald constantly defend Donald Trump because of the Russiagate lies and the media lies and the pro-war stuff. | ||
I know it's funny. | ||
So if I was going to write a song today, and it was punk rock and really crazy. | ||
I could write this whole anti-war song condemning the politicians and saying, you know, F your cause, F your demands, F your votes, end the war, bring the troops back, and it would end with like, and that's why Donald Trump needs to win. | ||
And it's like voting for the Republican suit-wearing pro-America flag-waving guy is now the anti-war move. | ||
That's true. | ||
He's the only one? | ||
Are there Democrats? | ||
And maybe I just need to research each individual Democrat. | ||
But it was a bipartisan effort, for the most part, to stop Trump from pulling our troops out. | ||
And of Syria, too. | ||
They attack him for it. | ||
They want the war machine. | ||
All the people that have been in charge in government for a long time don't want things to change. | ||
He's the anti-establishment president. | ||
He wasn't supposed to win, man. | ||
I know. | ||
That's why they don't like him. | ||
That's why I think they're going to cheat. | ||
That's why I like him. | ||
Dude, the more I look into it, I don't care. | ||
I'm saying it and like, whatever. | ||
If you got your news from only the New York Times, your image of Donald Trump would be like a winged demon snarling with like fangs. | ||
And if you actually watch Trump, it's actually more just like a 70 something year old lewd mean guy. | ||
I mean, I actually watch all of his speeches. | ||
It's not that hard. | ||
Pay attention. | ||
I really think that Donald Trump's speeches are the ultimate way to get a feel for what the media is actually thinking. | ||
And that's what people are doing. | ||
All you've got to do is watch his speech, and then you can listen to what the media says about it, and you're like, oh, he said this, and then they were like, oh, no, he actually said this, and you're like, no, no, I know that's not true. | ||
But now I know, right? | ||
It's crazy. | ||
And I tell people, People love to bash him like this whole Facebook thing like I keep talking about it, but you know I'm on Facebook I'm openly saying these the same stuff I'm not changing at all and people are coming at me like oh blah blah blah And I just asked each and every single one of them. | ||
Have you ever listened to any of his speeches? | ||
The answer is always no. | ||
What the heck? | ||
And I just say, go, go listen to his speeches before you even talk to me about him. | ||
I don't need to listen to a racist. | ||
I know what he said. | ||
Yep. | ||
I know. | ||
I love the, the, do you see this, the video of the reporter? | ||
Ask a woman, you know, Oh, you know, who are you voting for? | ||
And she's like, well, I don't, I don't have to tell you. | ||
Well, who are you voting for? | ||
And she, are you voting for Trump? | ||
And she's, and the reporter's like, yep. | ||
And she's like, well, you're a white supremacist then. | ||
Oh, that's Caitlin Bennett. | ||
Oh yeah, it was a great video. | ||
And she goes, all right, well, so are you voting for Biden? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Oh, well then you're, you're a pedophile. | ||
Well, so it's actually better. | ||
It was, it was a good logical twist. | ||
So she's like, you're voting for Trump. | ||
And, and Caitlin's like, yes. | ||
And she goes, well, then you're a white supremacist. | ||
And she goes, how can you say that? | ||
What proof do you have? | ||
Because you support Trump. | ||
And then she goes, so you have no evidence? | ||
It's like, it's not my job. | ||
to to to do that for you. | ||
And she goes, OK, are you voting for Biden? | ||
Yes. | ||
She goes, OK, then you're a pedophile. | ||
And she goes, what? | ||
That's not true. | ||
He's like, you like touching little girls. | ||
That's it. | ||
And that's it. | ||
unidentified
|
And that's. | |
Oh, man, that that cracked me up, man. | ||
I thought that was so good. | ||
Listen, man. | ||
That's their logic. | ||
That is the logic of the left. | ||
There's no logic of the left. | ||
That that's my point. | ||
Right. | ||
Exactly. | ||
So here's here's what many here's what moderates and traditional liberal people like, you know, like like me or whatever we're going to call it. | ||
The average person who opposes this mentality, this ideology, doesn't understand they have no logical pathways. | ||
It's literally just like mashed potatoes in their head. | ||
They have duct-taped together, somehow, a system that can pull a logical current. | ||
But you can't map it. | ||
You try to use the Socratic method, you try to make these points, they don't get it. | ||
Well, when you think about it, the human brain doesn't fully, you know, complete growing until you're 24. | ||
So we have no idea, really, the effects of having an iPad in front of you, altering your brain waves from, I mean, Three-year-olds are on iPads. | ||
They have a phone their entire life. | ||
We know the blue lights keep you awake. | ||
Your brain thinks that it's still daytime, so you don't go to sleep the same. | ||
It's like, we have no idea. | ||
So, not only is it mashed potatoes, but it's not a brain that we're used to. | ||
It's not. | ||
We can't compare ourselves. | ||
We're like a different breed of humans almost. | ||
Because we're part of computers. | ||
We are the new AI. | ||
Cyborgs. | ||
They are the new AI almost. | ||
Cyborgs. | ||
Yeah, they are the Borg. | ||
Their brains are developing with this digital internet technology. | ||
They are the Borg. | ||
Wow. | ||
That's crazy, dude. | ||
Do you know the story of the Borg? | ||
Are they not? | ||
That's pretty nuts to think about. | ||
That's what it feels like. | ||
I'm gonna ask you guys in the chat to correct me, but my general understanding of the Borg in Star Trek was that they were a regular civilization like humans that started integrating medical technology that expanded to a point where it synchronized them and then created a hive mind over time. | ||
I think so. | ||
That they used to be regular people. | ||
I don't know if it started with humans, because they assimilated all sorts of different races over time. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
Yeah, I'm not sure. | ||
Oh, they know. | ||
They're talking about it. | ||
You will be assimilated. | ||
and then started assimilating all the other races. | ||
Yeah, I'm not sure. | ||
You guys know what the Borg is, right? | ||
Oh, they know. | ||
It's not too esoteric. | ||
They're talking about it. | ||
You will be assimilated. | ||
You will be assimilated. | ||
Resistance is futile. | ||
Not if I can help it. | ||
Resist. | ||
Man, I love the Borg episodes. | ||
I know. | ||
They're good. | ||
Some of the best Picard lines. | ||
Yep. | ||
7 of 9. | ||
Yeah, well, that's Deep Space Nine. | ||
No, Voyager. | ||
Voyager. | ||
Oh, I messed up. | ||
That's it. | ||
You're officially out of fire. | ||
I'm officially out. | ||
Canceled. | ||
There's always jokes we made about Trekkie fandom and who knows more than someone else. | ||
So I will defer to you. | ||
I clearly know more than you. | ||
You nerd. | ||
You can have that trophy. | ||
Did you hear that everybody? | ||
He admitted it. | ||
I'm gonna take this W and run. | ||
All right, hold on, hold on. | ||
We gotta jump to this next bit. | ||
Yeah, what are we talking about now? | ||
So this is the Harper's letter that was written. | ||
And I want to give a shout out to Bridget Phetasy, who tweeted, to everyone who signed this letter, welcome to the alt-right. | ||
And I laughed very much when I saw that. | ||
Excellent tweet, Bridget. | ||
Because this is a letter on justice and open debate, which basically says, cancel culture, bad. | ||
Free speech, good. | ||
And it was signed by 150 or so people. | ||
Wow. | ||
And it includes a lot of people who are like lefties who have actually tried engaging in cancel culture. | ||
It's kind of funny. | ||
Well, there may be the realizing just how bad things are, but special shout out to people like Nick Christakis, Noam Chomsky. | ||
Didn't Elon Musk say like F Chomsky or something? | ||
He sure did. | ||
He does not like Chomsky. | ||
I've heard some of Chomsky's speeches over the past couple days. | ||
I like Chomsky. | ||
I've been looking into it, and he defends free speech heartily. | ||
And he also condemned the violence from Antifa. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
I'm a fan. | ||
He has some crazy ideas. | ||
unidentified
|
He certainly does. | |
I don't know enough about him, but all I know is that he has a few crazy ideas. | ||
Yeah, same. | ||
I'm still digging. | ||
There's a video I posted from like the 70s or 80s or something, where he said straight up, I will legally defend a person whose views I abhor if I'm defending their free speech. | ||
That's how it should be. | ||
And people were yelling at him for it. | ||
I know. | ||
Saying that basically, by saying the speech is acceptable, it's a favorable view of their speech. | ||
And he's like, no. | ||
Absolutely not. | ||
The right to expression must be distinct from... It's for everyone. | ||
And he said something that stuck with me. | ||
He said, you're on two sides. | ||
You either agree with free speech as a whole, or you only agree with speech that you agree with. | ||
There's no difference, or there's nothing else. | ||
It's either one or the other, period. | ||
And it's like, man, he's got a good point there. | ||
You know, he used to be like the left-wing pope. | ||
Really? | ||
I'm being very exaggerated, but people on the left, Hold him up as like the dude. | ||
And so when Antifa started doing all this violence, people emailed Chomsky and they said, how do you feel about this? | ||
And he said something I'm going to try. | ||
I'm going to try and get the quote, but I'm paraphrasing. | ||
When we entered the arena of violence, the most brutal guy wins. | ||
And that is not us. | ||
And he was right. | ||
Yep. | ||
Case in point, the video of that Proud Boy winding up the shot and then BOOM and the guy goes flying. | ||
Yeah, I saw that. | ||
You are not Antifa. | ||
But the right is restrained and doesn't want to engage in violence. | ||
So Antifa is just running amok and the cops aren't doing anything about it. | ||
But so he's condemned Antifa's violence. | ||
He said it's not a good idea. | ||
He's defended free speech. | ||
He's also got a bunch of really crazy, far-lefty ideas. | ||
That's fine. | ||
I don't care whatever your views are, however you want to live your life, as long as you're not violating the rights of other people. | ||
As long as you're honest and truthful, respectful, non-violent, then you can be a communist. | ||
So long as you, like, I will sit down and have an excellent debate with a communist. | ||
As long as they don't agree that they can try and swing a punch at me because I don't agree with them. | ||
Right. | ||
Like Antifa, nah, they're out of the question. | ||
But some commie wants to sit down and have a debate? | ||
unidentified
|
100%. | |
Let's have a debate. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
I disagree. | ||
I disagree. | ||
But here's the best part. | ||
Let's get to it. | ||
Matthew Iglesias. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh yes. | |
Matthew Iglesias is a co-founder of Vox.com, a progressive media outlet designed to explain the news, which eventually just devolved into left-wing rage bait. | ||
And while I want to say that Matthew is not the worst, he called Donald Trump a moderate, and Vox is the snooty elitist of the far left, not the extreme re-ing of the far left, I still think they're responsible for a lot of the stuff that's going on. | ||
But something kind of, well, maybe not ironic, but what's the word I'm thinking of? | ||
Let's just say, the easiest way to explain it is, you reap what you sow. | ||
Sharding for it? | ||
No, I mean, kind of. | ||
So this is a letter written by, it's the critic at large, I believe, for Vox, Emily Vanderwerf. | ||
Who, I'll just paraphrase, wrote a letter saying, I sent a version of this to the editors of Vox. | ||
I've redacted some bits that are internal to Vox and shouldn't be aired publicly. | ||
Basically saying that it is a privileged position for Matthew Iglesias to be signing this letter and talking about free speech because he doesn't recognize how his privilege and it negatively impacts marginalized people, notably. | ||
That some of the people who have signed this have anti-trans opinions. | ||
And by joining in with them, it empowers them and their positions, and that puts them at risk. | ||
I see J.K. | ||
Rowling's name right there. | ||
Oh, definitely. | ||
And that's probably one of the people that she was referring to. | ||
Well, Matthew Iglesias was then... Let me jump over here. | ||
Here we go. | ||
This is from Noam Blum. | ||
He says, if you had any doubts that Iglesias was shut down by his bosses, After signing this letter, this is from yesterday, Matthew Iglesias tweeted, Hmm. | ||
He has committed to not doing this. | ||
contentious stuff on Twitter anymore, so I seriously can't comment on this and would | ||
appreciate being taken out of the thread." | ||
Hmm, he has committed to not doing this. | ||
To who and to why? | ||
Well, we then have this from Ezra Klein. | ||
Ezra said, a lot of debates that sell themselves as being about free speech are actually about power. | ||
And there's a lot of power in being able to claim and hold the mantle of free speech defender. | ||
Ezra Klein is another co-founder of Vox. | ||
Matthew Iglesias said, should I reply to this with a concrete example or stick to my commitments to you? | ||
What have we learned from these tweets? | ||
Somebody who works at Vox wrote a letter saying he was putting trans people at risk. | ||
That opens the door to discrimination lawsuits by someone who can say, my boss signed a letter with transphobes. | ||
And that proves he has a negative view, and so everything he did against me was based on that discrimination. | ||
And that's the argument they could try and make. | ||
Matthew Iglesias says he made a commitment to Ezra Klein. | ||
And what was that commitment? | ||
That he will not speak on contentious issues. | ||
He's cancelled. | ||
That's it. | ||
Goodbye. | ||
He signed a letter to defend cancel culture. | ||
Someone at his company sent a letter in that was properly worded and not overly threatening. | ||
And now he has had a conversation with Ezra where he cannot comment anymore. | ||
And here's the best part. | ||
Ezra Klein's comment about debates on free speech is specifically targeting Matthew Iglesias. | ||
What have we learned? | ||
Matthew, as the co-founder of Vox, you are no longer allowed to address your fellow co-founders and coworkers when they insult, mock, or criticize you. | ||
And that's the world you've built. | ||
Yep. | ||
So I have to ask. | ||
So a lot of times I talk about how the left is really projecting when they say that the right is doing something wrong. | ||
I think this is a classic example of them projecting, we're going to cancel you. | ||
We're going to talk to your boss because this is exactly what has just happened to Matthew. | ||
And I think that's what he's afraid of. | ||
And I think that's what people like him have tried to do in the past. | ||
We're going to get you canceled. | ||
You're fired. | ||
You can't speak anymore. | ||
He has done this? | ||
I think that people on the left, not Matthew, not as far as I know. | ||
But I think it's just projection. | ||
Just classic projection. | ||
Yep. | ||
I don't know. | ||
That's what I came up with. | ||
I mentioned this the other day. | ||
That guy who was saying to me, you're first against the wall. | ||
I'm going to talk to your boss. | ||
I'm going to call those who employ you. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
I love it. | ||
You should have given them your number. | ||
Somebody tweeted this out. | ||
I don't know who it was, but it was a really good point. | ||
And they said, we need cancel culture herd immunity, which means we need more people to be canceled. | ||
Yep. | ||
There have been people... I could see it, but I mean, I don't know. | ||
It's ridiculous. | ||
What do you mean? | ||
Well, yeah, you know the argument that if everyone gets cancelled, no one is. | ||
If only 50% of people are cancelled, then cancel culture stops working. | ||
So that's the idea, herd immunity. | ||
So here's the hope, to be less pessimistic. | ||
I think the Wynn network is very promising. | ||
It is a decentralized network of Reddit forums that have no boss. | ||
No one person who can just ban you. | ||
That's amazing. | ||
Locals is another version of this from Dave Rubin's project. | ||
Dave can't ban anybody. | ||
I was going to start streaming games on Twitch, but I'm not going anywhere close to Twitch. | ||
No way. | ||
No way I'm not touching that. | ||
The Fediverse is a really interesting concept that just hasn't gained traction. | ||
What's that? | ||
It is a protocol kind of like... | ||
What's the easiest way to explain it? | ||
It would be like if you gave people your Mastodon address, and then it's subscribing to your newsletter. | ||
So, it's a Twitter that's decentralized, and there are different servers. | ||
So, Mastodon was, I think, is the biggest, but it's very far left. | ||
They ban everything. | ||
They banned Wil Wheaton. | ||
That was funny. | ||
And Wil Wheaton was like an SJW. | ||
That's how crazy far left they are. | ||
But Gab, for instance, is on the Fediverse, meaning that if I create my own server, TimCast.com, then I would say, follow me, my handle is Tim at TimCast.com, and then you would follow me, and then you would see whatever I post, but no one could ban me because you're basically just going to my website. | ||
So what it basically does is it creates a Twitter feed, but each person's tweet or post comes from their own site. | ||
Different servers. | ||
That once it gets delivered to you, so nobody can ban you. | ||
If you're on a node like Gab, Gab could say, we're banning Mastodon. | ||
But, you know, Gab wouldn't do that. | ||
However, Mastodon did ban Gab. | ||
They were like, if you're on our node, you will not see anyone from Gab, no dice. | ||
Yeah, you can't do it. | ||
So it's actually also a really, really good idea, because then instead of me saying, you know, follow me on Twitter, I'd say my handle is at Timcast, and then it doesn't matter what you use, you get it. | ||
That, I think, is a path forward that will really save us from the mind, you know, brainwashing, indoctrination. | ||
I love it. | ||
These are the kind of conversations I like having. | ||
Moving forward. | ||
But I think, you know why I think 230 reform is the magic bullet? | ||
If the Republicans sweep, and this is why it is, and I can't believe I would ever say something like this, so important that they do. | ||
I am willing to concede at this point with how crazy everything's gotten. | ||
The Democrats have made me desperate, and now maybe I am turning to people I don't quite understand. | ||
They don't seem as crazy. | ||
We talked about this, though. | ||
The Republican Party hasn't varied very much. | ||
They've moved quite far as far as traditional Republicans. | ||
If this stops, I'll give you the best example. | ||
The Democrats just voted to repeal civil rights law. | ||
Yeah, that's great. | ||
That was like being punched in the gut by the left. | ||
That's insane. | ||
I can't believe that. | ||
That has to stop now. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
And that means if I have to go to the Republican Party, that means I have to do it. | ||
So we'll see how things play out with Trump. | ||
That's a different story, but very likely. | ||
I don't know what's going to happen with congressional votes or whatever in November. | ||
So we'll see how that plays out. | ||
But if the Republicans win, and the first thing they do is just jam Section 230 reform in, you know what's gonna happen? | ||
Right now there's a big boycott against Facebook. | ||
They're trying to get Facebook to bend the knee and ban more hate speech. | ||
And Facebook is slowly giving what they want, but no matter what Facebook does, they say more, more, more. | ||
What would happen if a law was passed? | ||
You cannot ban legal speech. | ||
Then the advertisers would go to Zuckerberg and say, we demand all the far-left non-profits, every email they could send would fall on deaf ears when Mark Zuckerberg would simply reply all No. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That'd be easy. | ||
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
And they would say, well then we don't want to advertise with you. | ||
I'm so sorry. | ||
It's the law. | ||
Yep. | ||
If you want your advertisements on this platform, you recognize that we can't | ||
control the speech. | ||
That's federal law. | ||
Boom. | ||
It is the easiest out. | ||
It will bolster the profits of Google, Facebook, Twitter, and all these | ||
companies. | ||
It will give them the easiest excuse. | ||
We want to help you. | ||
We're so angry at Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
No, but unfortunately that's the law. | |
We have to allow these opinions. | ||
Yep. | ||
And I'm talking about evil people saying evil things. | ||
One of the tricks the far left likes to do is saying, see, they want death threats on their platform. | ||
No, that's bad. | ||
That's illegal. | ||
You post a death threat, they can go, delete. | ||
That was a crime. | ||
If they have a good faith belief that what you posted was illegal, they can remove it. | ||
Now, there will be overstep. | ||
There will be appeals. | ||
And I think it's Will Chamberlain of Human Events whose proposal is that Access to social media should be considered a human right, and that if you get banned, you can immediately go to court and get an injunction filed to restore all of your access. | ||
If this reform happens, then immediately you will see a real conversation. | ||
All of the silent majority will not be scared to speak up anymore. | ||
Well, not all of them, but a lot of them. | ||
You won't get banned. | ||
You can say whatever you want. | ||
We need that back. | ||
We need thick skin. | ||
We need a 230 reform. | ||
Yeah, we need to save... I mean, to bring even a few steps back. | ||
Like, comedy is dying. | ||
Comedy's dying. | ||
George Carlin was like the last vestige of just saying whatever he wanted. | ||
He did not care. | ||
If you were able to go on Twitter and make all of the jokes from South Park and Family Guy without getting banned, right now you can't. | ||
230 reform is maybe not the most important thing, I don't know, but I think it's extremely important because it would reverse the flow of the cultural stream. | ||
Yeah. | ||
John Cleese said, it says something really interesting about this. | ||
I don't remember all of it. | ||
Man, there's a lot, but it started with, if people can't control their emotions, they just, they switch it to try to control other people's behavior. | ||
And there's a lot more to that, but it's about having thick skin. | ||
It's about confronting yourself. | ||
Yes, we'll bring it back. | ||
I agree. | ||
I love it. | ||
Imagine if you go on Facebook, and it's nothing but grow a pair, you whiny baby. | ||
Cry, cry, keep crying. | ||
And you're like, you can't say mean things to me, that's illegal. | ||
Sorry, it's not. | ||
It's legal. | ||
People don't realize the degree to which... Stop caring what other people think. | ||
That is number one. | ||
Don't care what other people think! | ||
Why do you care so much? | ||
Work on your own life. | ||
You'll get banned. | ||
If you work on your own life? | ||
Because I just said that to them right now, I'm gonna get banned? | ||
If you ignore what other people think. | ||
You get banned. | ||
Oh, I don't ignore it. | ||
I'm watching. | ||
I'm learning. | ||
I'm seeing what it is, but it's not going to change how I feel. | ||
You can't say what Don Lemon said in 2013. | ||
The degree to which we have already been socially engineered on a mass scale is unrecognizable. | ||
So how do we talk about it right now? | ||
How do we even bring it up? | ||
I don't know. | ||
How can we discuss it right now? | ||
Because I think it needs to be said. | ||
He was in embarrassment cutting Terry Crews off like he did when Terry Crews was essentially saying very much in tune with what he said. | ||
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
Terry Crews didn't go that far. | ||
No, you're right. | ||
unidentified
|
He didn't even go that far. | |
Don Lemon went on what I could only describe as a racist white supremacist tirade by today's standards. | ||
The things he was saying about the black community If it was uttered today by us or anybody, it would be an instant permaban. | ||
And yet, Thomas Sowell says very much a lot of the same stuff. | ||
He's talking about it. | ||
He's amazing. | ||
I think he's one of the best geniuses that we have in America right now. | ||
Let me just put it this way. | ||
What Don Lemon said comes... Listen. | ||
I'll do this. | ||
Stefan Molyneux was just banned from YouTube and Twitter. | ||
Okay. | ||
And I would be, I'd be willing to make a bet. | ||
To be fair, I haven't, I don't watch, you know, and I'm not super familiar with Stefan Molyneux's content, but I'd be willing to bet the thing Stefan Molyneux said probably came from Don Lemon. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Talking about race and their behaviors and their choices and what that results in. | ||
Simply throwing trash on the ground. | ||
I mean, Don Lemon said things. | ||
When he said that I was like, wow. | ||
Because I lived in cities and that is absolutely true. | ||
They don't care. | ||
They toss trash right on the ground. | ||
I'm not talking race. | ||
I'm talking everybody in the city. | ||
That's why I'm saying Don Lemon went on what I would call a racist tirade. | ||
You're absolutely right. | ||
I'll give you one example because he was targeting them specifically. | ||
That's true. | ||
Don Lemon accused the black community of specific things that are not unique to the black community that exist for all races. | ||
That's true. | ||
I agree. | ||
I can vouch. | ||
Living in the city, I've seen it from all races. | ||
In 2013. | ||
In 2013, yeah. | ||
So I bring this up just to point out the degree to which we have already been socially engineered on a mass scale. | ||
We don't even realize it. | ||
But you go back to this article from it's from I think I have it from CNN going back to 2013 and the things that Don Lemon was saying about clothing, about fathers. | ||
It's from Real Clear Politics in 2013. | ||
Well, I mean, it was from his show. | ||
It's from his show where he said Bill O'Reilly doesn't go far enough. | ||
unidentified
|
And yeah, that's... Bill O'Reilly. | |
Well, and you know what? | ||
He does it twice, too. | ||
He quotes Bill O'Reilly, and then he goes... | ||
You know what? | ||
He's right. | ||
But you know what? | ||
And he says more. | ||
Listen to this. | ||
And then he goes, Bill O'Reilly says some more stuff, digging in a little further. | ||
And then he goes, you know what? | ||
He's right. | ||
But he still didn't go enough. | ||
He still didn't go to say enough that he should have said. | ||
And then he goes, there's a list of five things he says. | ||
There's five things you need to do. | ||
This Don Lemon video, and with Terry Crews, is important for a couple reasons. | ||
It shows the degree to which mainstream society has been radicalized. | ||
Yes. | ||
And it gives you a glimpse of what we can no longer discuss. | ||
Correct. | ||
If Don Lemon was willing to say that Bill O'Reilly didn't go far enough in 2013, and today he would argue with Terry Crews when Terry Crews just says we're all equal. | ||
Right. | ||
The reality is People like to say, you know, like, Tim got red-pilled or whatever. | ||
That's not true. | ||
Tim Poole is exactly where Tim Poole has been. | ||
It's true. | ||
When I worked for Vice... Right on his fence. | ||
Listen, listen. | ||
I worked for Vice. | ||
Do you have any idea what Vice was doing, you know, in the early 2010s? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, it was gross. | ||
It was... | ||
It was edgy, edgy stuff. | ||
That's right when I met you. | ||
It was edgy stuff, man. | ||
And today, it's all woke feminism. | ||
That's true. | ||
So I was talking to some people from Vice, and they said to me, we realized it wasn't, you know, specific people who changed. | ||
Because, like, there's specific people at Vice who were accused of being right-wing and far-right years later. | ||
And they said, we realized it wasn't them who changed, it was us. | ||
We realized that certain things weren't acceptable anymore. | ||
And I said, let me stop you right there. | ||
I was like, do you realize what you're saying? | ||
You're saying that from the perspective of regular people that you were friends with that created this company and worked with you and helped you grow it and everything. | ||
They stayed where they were doing what was completely acceptable. | ||
You changed your behaviors. | ||
Boom. | ||
So when you say they are far right, you realize. | ||
They're not, right? | ||
You just kept walking further and further left. | ||
That means you are far left. | ||
That's correct. | ||
If these people weren't far right to begin with, they aren't today. | ||
Yep. | ||
So when I worked for Fusion, I had the same opinions. | ||
We were doing a weak version of this show. | ||
What is that? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Street sweeper? | ||
We were doing the first iteration of this podcast, a couple episodes, in 2014. | ||
Oh, that's right. | ||
Forgot about that. | ||
We did. | ||
I did a video about why I thought it was wrong that there was segregated graduation ceremonies being proposed at Harvard. | ||
I did a video about Kesha and the accusations, the false accusations that were challenged. | ||
Yeah, I remember that. | ||
My stance on false allegations and free speech and all that stuff is exactly where it's always been. | ||
I've always been a moderate, you know, aside from when I was younger, but I mean like in my more recent career, a moderate left-leaning liberal working for Fusion, working for Vice. | ||
They got radicalized, as evidenced very easily, by Don Lemon saying Bill O'Reilly doesn't go far enough on CNN. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
2013. | |
So that was from 2013. | ||
So I posted something on Twitter that I noticed, and it was not from 2013, it was from 2017. | ||
And it was the story of Monroe Bergdorf, who got fired from their job at Revlon for saying some really stridently racist stuff that BLM is saying now because | ||
Revlon just hired them back because it's no longer inappropriate to say those things that BLM is saying. | ||
Can you hint at what the conversation was about? I don't know if you're allowed to say it because it's YouTube. | ||
Yeah, so Monroe just got on and was saying stuff like, you know, the | ||
white man is holding me down and everything and everything, you know, internalized racism. | ||
unidentified
|
Just, you know, normal stuff now. Look at Colin Kaepernick. | |
Yeah. Yeah. Was it three years ago? Signed a big huge deal with Disney. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
That has been a dramatic radicalization. | ||
Oh yeah. | ||
Fast. | ||
So I'm in the same spot I've always been. | ||
I'm chilling, you know, doing my thing. | ||
And I think the important factor is what causes someone to be radicalized? | ||
Is their friends being radicalized? | ||
So I wondered why it is that there's like one friend of mine I've known for years who has gone surprisingly Marxist, | ||
which is weird. | ||
Like, I'm not kidding. | ||
I'm posting anti-capitalist stuff. | ||
I'm like, what are you talking about? | ||
You're like a wealthy actor in Hollywood. | ||
What are you doing? | ||
I forget what clothing company. | ||
Some clothing company. | ||
I don't remember what it was. | ||
Armani maybe I don't know they posted something about you know Capitalism like if it wasn't for capitalism in World War two like you know America wouldn't be Selling weapons, and I was like you know we won the war right You know because we joined the war we helped defeat Germany in that war they would have won Yeah, it was just like the UK being are you forgetting that part of it? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh? | |
Because capitalism actually won us the war, basically. | ||
If you want to put it that way, we'll put it that way. | ||
Like, okay. | ||
I started wondering how it is this friend of mine is posting Marxist memes. | ||
And then I started seeing who they were liking and who they were promoting in their posts. | ||
And I was like, interesting. | ||
unidentified
|
Hm. | |
Memes. | ||
Marxist, far leftist. | ||
Marxist memes. | ||
And so then I thought about it and I'm like, you know, I don't do anything but work. | ||
So I don't go up to random people, like I don't hang out with people and then share ideas like that. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I've always done my thing reading the news in my isolated, you know, semi-isolated kind of way, | ||
where I sit down, I read the news for the past decade. | ||
So I follow similar people. | ||
I've seen them get radicalized. | ||
I follow similar news outlets. | ||
I've seen them get radicalized. | ||
And these people don't realize it, because they say that we are the summation of the five people who surround us. | ||
But if the five people who surround you are slowly being radicalized, and then you slowly start agreeing with them, not realizing you're moving further and further left, ten years later, you'll look to your right and you'll see me far away and go, wow, Tim became so far right, and it's like, bro, I've been standing in the same spot. | ||
I haven't moved. | ||
There's grooves. | ||
I'm living in this van right by the river here. | ||
That's right where I've been. | ||
The river hasn't moved either. | ||
I am sitting on a couch with butt grooves in it. | ||
I haven't moved, man. | ||
I follow a lot of the exact same people I always did. | ||
Please don't talk about your butt grooves, man. | ||
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
I follow a lot of the same people I always have. | ||
And it's funny when I see them post, and the hacker community is the best example. | ||
In my opinion, these people are the lowest of the low. | ||
In the early 2010s, I was hanging out at hackerspaces with a lot of high-profile-ish hackers and professors. | ||
These people were all about fighting authoritarianism, defending the right to free expression and free speech. | ||
Now where are they? | ||
Completely in opposition to it. | ||
Fully on board with social justice authoritarianism. | ||
My favorite is that there was a guy during Occupy Wall Street who approached me and wanted to, you know, he's like, I want you to get involved with all these things we're doing. | ||
And he worked with a non-profit called Free Press. | ||
Today, Free Press advocates for censorship. | ||
They're one of the organizations trying to boycott Facebook and demanding censorship. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
How do we get to a point where you don't realize that if you named your organization Free Press, and then something happened where today you are pro-censorship, and that's one of your core missions, you realize you've been zombified or you've been turned. | ||
The bad guys got you. | ||
Well, Don Lemon is definitely a different version of himself from what I saw. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
If he was that 2013 Don Lemon, I'd watch him. | ||
You know what I'd love to see? | ||
I'd be like, wow, this guy, he's standing up. | ||
He's saying some bold things. | ||
Donald Trump wouldn't even say what he said. | ||
Donald Trump would not say what Don Lemon said. | ||
Don Lemon made a lot of points about the behaviors of young black men and black culture and things that are not unique to black culture. | ||
Some of them could be argued, maybe, but not all of them. | ||
Some of them could be argued that what he was addressing affects everybody, but they could make a change. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
The race part of it is what he added to it, but it's more of a culture thing, I think, if you take a step back and look at it. | ||
Talking about families and kids the way he did was like, wow. | ||
That was right out of like... Tell me more about how Terry Crews was wronged on Lemon? | ||
But like the things you were saying, you would get that stuff from alt-right YouTube videos. | ||
It's true. | ||
And Don Lemon was saying it first. | ||
That's absolutely true. | ||
So the radicalization is the left. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
If you haven't seen this video, we can't play it for you, we can't read the words, but it's pretty bold, and it is not the Don Lemon that I've been seeing lately. | ||
I don't want to pretend like it's the worst thing in the world, like he was spouting out racial slurs. | ||
No, no, no, it's not. | ||
But it's Don Lemon going on what I would describe by today's standards as a racist rant. | ||
Well, really what it is is him saying, you know, it's not systemic racism. | ||
You need to step up and look at yourself. | ||
That's essentially, like, if I could narrow down what he said, that's essentially what he said. | ||
One of the things we can highlight is that he blames the black community for littering, which is absolutely not unique to any race. | ||
It's people not caring anymore. | ||
Well, it's big cities. | ||
I see it a lot. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
But that's why I would say that by today's standard. | ||
But he specifically said, I lived in a white neighborhood, and I didn't see anyone throwing trash on the ground. | ||
And then he specifically said, I live in Harlem now, and now I see it everywhere. | ||
And it's like, ooh, wow. | ||
There's so much wrong with that. | ||
You went there, Don. | ||
You went there, man. | ||
You know what he's actually saying? | ||
What? | ||
That he lived in a rich neighborhood, and he doesn't understand the difference. | ||
Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
And he blames their race for it. | ||
Don Lemon is a racist. | ||
I am appalled by this video. | ||
Now, hold on. | ||
I want to make sure I'm clear. | ||
I don't think what he said is the worst thing in the world. | ||
I do think it's got racial... He didn't need to go... It doesn't need to bring race into it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But I do believe that if we actually read what he said, we would be flipping a coin on whether or not YouTube would give us a strike and delete this video. | ||
They might allow us to talk about it on the grounds that it's newsworthy, but if we just repeated what he said, like the points made by Don Lemon, that's a strike. | ||
Hands down. | ||
Boom. | ||
Hands down. | ||
Hands down. | ||
Like what you mentioned, where he says, I lived in a white neighborhood and I'll tell you all the things they did, and it's like... | ||
You are a multi-millionaire who moved to an upper-class neighborhood. | ||
Yeah, you aren't in that class anymore. | ||
You're speaking for people that you don't understand anymore. | ||
That's what I'm saying. | ||
He didn't move to the poor white suburbs of South Chicago. | ||
Southwest suburbs of Chicago. | ||
Right, exactly. | ||
There's a suburb of Chicago called Summit. | ||
We call it Scummit. | ||
Oh yeah? | ||
And it's mostly white, lower income, and I know people who've lived there, and there's a lot of drugs, and it is not... Don Lemon, you want to talk about litter? | ||
You want to talk about community? | ||
You need to understand what poverty is. | ||
And that's why I think what he did was overtly racist. | ||
Because he ignores the issues of class and blames the race for what... | ||
I can't repeat it, man. | ||
Well, we'll see. | ||
We're getting, we're getting, we're crop dusted on the danger. | ||
I know. | ||
I feel like I, I, you, you didn't even want to do this story. | ||
You were kind of like, man, it's a little, and I'm like, no, no, no. | ||
We got to talk about this. | ||
Well, we can talk. | ||
It wasn't that. | ||
I was like, I was like, you realize if we say what he said, YouTube will delete the stream. | ||
Yeah, we can't say. | ||
Well, I think this is important. | ||
What happens next is really important too. | ||
Seeing what happens. | ||
What is CNN going to do? | ||
Because this just popped up today. | ||
I saw this floating around today. | ||
Someone tagged me in it. | ||
You know who you are. | ||
I appreciate you for tagging me in this. | ||
And it's crazy, and we'll see, because CNN, cancel culture, like, what are they going to do? | ||
Don Lemon's one of their head figures right now, you know? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
If you want to find the video, because again, I don't believe it isn't that bad. | ||
The people are saying it isn't racist. | ||
Trust me, man. | ||
I'm telling you what he said is YouTube bannable. | ||
Search for Don Lemon, Bill O'Reilly doesn't go far enough. | ||
And you can watch what he said. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And there's a lot of people who defend what he said. | ||
But I think, the point I'm making is not that I'm agreeing or disagreeing or getting in any part of that argument, I'm telling you that based on what he said, if you say that today, if you record that video and put it on Twitter, Twitter will ban you. | ||
I mean, hands down, there are people out there that are saying that I said Thomas | ||
Swoap soul is saying it. | ||
Uh, Larry elders is out there saying this stuff too. | ||
There's, there's, there's some prominent figures out there, but probably going to | ||
get banned. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
The prominent figures tend to get more leeway. | ||
Okay. | ||
So during the learn to code fiasco, I tweeted it a bunch of times. | ||
Oh yeah. | ||
Did you never got suspended? | ||
Okay. | ||
Because they, they, I'm, I'd be willing to bet YouTube has a coding system for | ||
profiles that are internal. | ||
whether or not someone's a journalist or whether or not someone's a celebrity or sports and | ||
I'm making that guess based on the fact that Twitter will do anything for journalists | ||
Because it's the largest and most active user base. Am I a journalist now? I don't know | ||
Technically. | ||
You might get verified. | ||
I don't know what I am, honestly. | ||
I'm on IMDB. | ||
Cultural commentator. | ||
Someone was like, you're on IMDB. | ||
unidentified
|
I was like, oh, I'm on IMDB for TimCast. | |
Don't take this away from me Tim. | ||
unidentified
|
That was it. | |
I got nothing. | ||
I think we got it out though. | ||
People need to see it for themselves. | ||
Go watch it. | ||
I would make the point, before we go, that Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder are very careful to say things like, It is a class issue. | ||
It's not necessarily a race issue. | ||
They're very precise in their language. | ||
Jordan Peterson would be very proud. | ||
And they use a lot of facts. | ||
They back up every single thing that they say with facts and history of how we got here and how much we've done to get here, which people like to just ignore. | ||
Let me wrap up that whole conversation. | ||
Sure. | ||
The point is, when 230 reform happens overnight, that conversation that Don Lemon had will come back like a dam breaking, a flood sweeping across the valley. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
People will start bringing these things up. | ||
They'll start talking about family. | ||
They'll start talking about the importance of free speech and culture, education. | ||
Yep. | ||
You're right. | ||
All of these conversations will come back and you don't even realize they're gone. | ||
Oh, I can't wait to have conversations again. | ||
Honestly, that's actually my job now. | ||
I'm getting paid to have conversations. | ||
It's great. | ||
But I want it to be okay. | ||
I want it to be politically correct to have a conversation. | ||
When I went on the Rogan podcast with Dorsey, a lot of people made a really good point. | ||
They said, why are four liberals in a room talking about what conservatives think? | ||
And I said, that's a great point. | ||
Joe should have a liberal and a conservative or two conservatives to come in and talk about these issues. | ||
Actually, it would be great if Will Chamberlain, who is a lawyer and he runs Human Events, gave his perspective along with maybe like a higher profile Ben Shapiro or something on their view on just the general culture around censorship with a legal perspective. | ||
Because typically these arguments have been Right now, the internet is all liberals. | ||
Like, conservatives exist, and there's a reason why they're all going to parlor, because they are walking on the razor's edge. | ||
I'm a moderate, you know, liberal politically, and there is a, what I described as kind of like a temporary alliance between liberals and conservatives, real liberals, because we agree on most things. | ||
Classic liberal. | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
Like traditional or social liberal. | ||
Like the liberals of the 90s and the 2000s. | ||
Classical liberal is a right-wing position. | ||
It's center-right. | ||
Social liberals are center-left. | ||
Center-left and the right. | ||
Liberal can mean anything nowadays. | ||
Well, yeah, right. | ||
Now people use it to just mean leftist, which is not true. | ||
So what I mean to say is of the 90s and 2000s and even the 2010s, social liberalism was like the default for the Democratic Party. | ||
It's very similar to liberalism, but it has a slant towards social programs and civil rights issues. | ||
I would consider myself a social liberal in that I want the 1964 Civil Rights Act in place. | ||
I want equality under the law and all that stuff. | ||
Classical liberals are more like free market, less government intervention, but very similar in that regard. | ||
There is an alliance now between conservatives, traditional conservatives, diehard conservatives, and social liberals, the intellectual dark web, the politically homeless, because of the illiberalism of the far left. | ||
So we will see these conversations emerge if this happens. | ||
We gotta read Super Chats. | ||
I hope so. | ||
You hope we do. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I'm going to start it off. | ||
I just saw Lauren1 just sent a huge super chat. | ||
unidentified
|
A big one. | |
Didn't say a word. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, thank you. | |
Didn't say a word, so thank you. | ||
Thank you very much. | ||
Well, we got a huge super chat here from Logan Porter. | ||
He says, no hate, Tim. | ||
I can't watch you anymore. | ||
Your defeatism and pessimism is getting to me. | ||
I'm going crazy watching you, and I choose right now to wash my hands of you. | ||
I'll vote how I vote. | ||
I'll protect myself, and I won't just roll over and die. | ||
Take care of yourselves. | ||
What about me? | ||
I respect the criticism. | ||
You can comfort him, stay free. | ||
I will do better. | ||
Adam's still here. | ||
He's arguing with me, right? | ||
Every chance I get. | ||
unidentified
|
Alright, let's see what we got here. | |
Commander 232 says, Hey Tim, I have said this before, before us in FPS in North Dakota will be damned if we secede our nation to these domestic terrorists. | ||
Don't give in and give up. | ||
There are more people in the central US that will go down fighting than you know. | ||
We are just setting up our pieces. | ||
I think the challenge though is... Or they're busy working. | ||
Or they want to be upright, standing citizens that do things under the law instead of going out and being violent. | ||
This is not the way that most people are. | ||
This is why Election Day should be a holiday. | ||
I absolutely agree with you, 100%. | ||
And I think conservatives should be leading that charge. | ||
Let me get my little pistol. | ||
It's way too far for me. | ||
I'm going to spend the UFO for that. | ||
Conservatives should be leading the charge on Election Day being a holiday because they're the ones who tend to have the jobs, right? | ||
It's the people who aren't working who can freely go out and vote when they feel like it. | ||
If it was a holiday, then more conservatives could vote. | ||
Make it a holiday. | ||
Make it a paid holiday. | ||
Right. | ||
Yep. | ||
All right, let's see what we got here. | ||
Akepot says, it's not too late. | ||
I think this often and tend to be pessimistic these days. | ||
However, I'm reminded that while Trump won't stop this, he buys us time. | ||
We can't roll over. | ||
We need to fight to wake others up. | ||
It's happening in the 11th hour. | ||
Don't quit. | ||
Here, here. | ||
Well, I hear you. | ||
I certainly won't. | ||
I will not either. | ||
It's good to hear, Tim. | ||
I only entertain the idea of at some point getting in the van down by the river. | ||
No, but we're expanding, mind you. | ||
So for the people who, you know, I won't be as pessimistic, but I will point out we're expanding. | ||
We're doing more. | ||
We're bringing on more people. | ||
We're going to build an indoor shooting range. | ||
Think about how crazy that is. | ||
Six months ago, I'm like, no guns in my house. | ||
Now it's like, let's build a shooting range. | ||
Let's buy all the guns. | ||
I'm very excited about it. | ||
We should do a couple episodes down by the river just for kicks. | ||
It is so cool. | ||
I'm so excited for this. | ||
I just can't wait till it gets... It's gonna take a couple months, but we are in the process. | ||
It'll be worth it. | ||
We're gonna have an archery range, indoor skate park. | ||
Shooting range, archery range, same difference. | ||
Yeah, yep. | ||
It's gonna be good, though. | ||
Lots of guns. | ||
ExiledDevil says, You hate the Confederacy. | ||
Riddle me this. | ||
One part of the country demands the others adhere to them. | ||
The other refuses and forms a rebel army to fight back against them. | ||
Sound familiar? | ||
Are we the new Confederacy? | ||
Will we be called traitors? | ||
If you lose... And the issue, however, is that This goes back to the conversation I've brought up where people are like, you know, they've said to me that if I was alive during the civil rights era, I would have been one of the moderates being like, everyone needs to calm down and just accept it. | ||
And I'm like, that's not true. | ||
My family history is rooted in the civil rights era and everything. | ||
It's literally intrinsic to what I am. | ||
You are a minority. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
That's true. | ||
The smallest minority in the country. | ||
So, first of all, history is written by the victors. | ||
However, the Confederates were illiberal. | ||
The North was, at least as it pertained to slavery. | ||
So, you had the bloodiest battle, I believe it was in the history of battles, right, of wars. | ||
And it was people saying literally owning people is a violation of the Constitution, of the Declaration of Independence, and it must be ended. | ||
Immoral. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So you can't have a government that says, of, by, and for the people, except those people. | ||
And that's why we've been able to develop all these civil rights. | ||
Freedom wins. | ||
Not the left. | ||
Freedom. | ||
I think it was Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks who said, the left always wins. | ||
You're on the wrong side of history. | ||
He's wrong. | ||
He is wrong. | ||
It is freedom that wins. | ||
And so if you fight for freedom, they may demonize you and they'll lie about you and they'll call you a Nazi. | ||
They'll call you Confederate. | ||
They'll call you all the worst names in the book. | ||
Stand up for what you believe in. | ||
I won't let someone else tell me who I am. | ||
They will tell others. | ||
Unless it was the chat calling me Soy Jesus. | ||
I kind of let that happen. | ||
I mean, yeah. | ||
I mean, I had no choice, but what are you going to do? | ||
All right, what does Sun Bay mean? | ||
Praise the sun? | ||
Gareth Green says Pool Sun Bay, Criggler Sun Bay. | ||
Please read Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics. | ||
It changed my life. | ||
We have that book. | ||
Do we? | ||
Nice. | ||
It showed me that most of the world's ills are due to price controls. | ||
Really? | ||
I believe so. | ||
There is a lot. | ||
Man, the more I look into everything, the more... It's everything. | ||
It's not any one thing. | ||
You can't put any blame on any one thing. | ||
That's just not possible. | ||
Life is so complex. | ||
I've watched a long interview with him today, and that's really where this specifically is spawning from. | ||
He is very knowledgeable about a lot of stuff, about where we are, how we Hassam says, your thoughts on this quote, the issue is never the issue, the issue is the revolution. | ||
Saul Alinsky rules for radicals. | ||
dig into that man. That's what they don't like. They don't like the enlightenment. | ||
They don't like free inquiry, free thought. They're not gonna stop me. | ||
Hassam says, your thoughts on this quote, the issue is never the issue, the issue | ||
is the revolution. Saul Alinsky rules for radicals. My thoughts on that is that the | ||
left is not doesn't care about any of these causes, the ends justify the means, | ||
and what they're fighting for is a faith. The revolution is meaningless. | ||
It is a buzzword. | ||
They just want it. | ||
By any means necessary. | ||
Yep. | ||
They don't know what it means afterwards. | ||
They don't know what they get. | ||
They don't care. | ||
It's faith. | ||
It's better. | ||
It's Elysium. | ||
It's Valhalla. | ||
It's 72 virgins. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's all it is. | ||

Can we create the revolution of the like button and get the zealotry of the far left but just for liking our videos? | ||
Like going to every video and just liking all of them? | ||
That's what they're all about? | ||
Smash all of the like buttons. | ||
That will get you to heaven. | ||
It's like the opposite of cancel everything. | ||
Yes. | ||
How do we convince the far left that the true way to win the revolution is to smash that like button? | ||
They all show up, hundreds of thousands of people are all liking like, ah! | ||
Hey man, there are some leftist podcasts that make a lot of money. | ||
Really? | ||
Oh yeah. | ||
This one's inadvertently for Lydia. | ||
Landon says, thoughts on stoicism and virtue ethics as a solution to vapidity and degradation giving up on the culture of revolution. | ||
Oh, that is a heavy, heavy topic. | ||
I will tweet about that. | ||
How about that? | ||
You don't have any thoughts on it now? | ||
Well, so I think that if you look at stoicism as a solution, it really comes down to responsibility to yourself and you're only controlling what you can control. | ||
So the entire problem that I think that the left wing has right now is trying to control everything except themselves. | ||
So stoicism turns us on its head. | ||
And for me, it's valuable because it tells me that the only thing I can control is myself, which is great because I'm a little bit emotional at times. | ||
So if you get that under control and realize that you can, it's great. | ||
It's very empowering. | ||
So I think that if they did that, there'd be a whole world would be a lot better off. | ||
So that's my two cents. | ||
Basically, the whole left is the least stoic. | ||
Yes. | ||
Very. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Because they can't control themselves. | ||
Well, it's a very masculine trait. | ||
They hate stoicism. | ||
I hate it. | ||
It's a very masculine trait. | ||
Didn't we talk about this on the show? | ||
Yeah, I think so. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like how they actually hate stoicism. | ||
During emotional intelligence, when we talked about that, that was a good episode. | ||
There was something we were reading where it was like, who said this? | ||
That if, you know, when you get into a car accident, the man is... That was Sean Smith. | ||
That was Sean Smith. | ||
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
Yeah, we had him on. | ||
We had him on. | ||
unidentified
|
I knew it. | |
I knew it. | ||
Yeah, that was a good episode. | ||
Could you imagine? | ||
That was fantastic. | ||
They want to get rid of masculinity. | ||
So a man and a woman and their kids get into a car accident and they both just start crying. | ||
Yeah, then who's gonna fix the tire? | ||
Nobody. | ||
You know, I guess they both do it together. | ||
They can't take it from me. | ||
I know how to fix the tire. | ||
I know how to do all that. | ||
Actually, actually, hold on. | ||
They get into a car accident, but the traditional family structure is dissolved. | ||
So we're looking at this from the wrong way. | ||
If it was a family that didn't believe in masculine erostoicism, it would be like Three they-mans, one trans-masculine, you know, femme, and a couple non-binary kids. | ||
Babies, yes. | ||
And they would just have to assign who does what, and they would all do teamwork, I guess? | ||
I don't know if I can understand their logic, because they don't have... How dare you! | ||
Yes, thank you. | ||
We'll just go with that. | ||
You're not allowed! | ||
Nothing would work. | ||
It'd all fall apart. | ||
Someone said not smashing the like button is racist. | ||
That's right. | ||
It's a minority run company. | ||
Feel free to smash the dislike button if you want. | ||
But I prefer you smashing the like button. | ||
Say Donald Trump likes the like button. | ||
Gareth Green says Sunbae is the Korean equivalent of Japanese Senpai. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
It's funny that it's a term suffix that refers to older brothers or upper classmates. | ||
Oh, I like that. | ||
I should know stuff like that. | ||
You should. | ||
I only know bad words I can't say on YouTube. | ||
Okay. | ||
Well, you should know this. | ||
It's actually funny, once I met a dude who was like a white dude who grew up in Chicago who was fluent in Korean. | ||
Really? | ||
And like... Did he come at you with that Korean? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Cool. | ||
And I was like, I don't know anything. | ||
You're like, I got nothing. | ||
My mom grew up in America. | ||
You said a few bad words. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
Like, I'm not Korean enough, I guess. | ||
Here we go. | ||
Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
Gareth says, sadly, Lincoln and the original Republicans took the country in a more centralized direction. | ||
Because they saw the United States as a unitary nation, we have never recovered. | ||
You know, I was reading about this, and it really does seem like you could argue historically the Civil War never ended. | ||
Yeah, we were talking about that the other day. | ||
I was looking at some congressional districts that before the Civil War had a variety of | ||
political parties, and then just before the Civil War it became two-party. | ||
The two parties fighting over the ideology, and then because it was so severe, | ||
everyone teamed up and formed factions, and it's still that way to this day. | ||
Yeah. | ||
We should dive into that much further in a segment tomorrow. | ||
So one of the goals with the new space is to get more space for more guests. | ||
I can't wait to have guests. | ||
Way bigger space. | ||
We will have guests eventually. | ||
Yes, I'm very excited. | ||
That was the original plan of the show. | ||
We had a few guests. | ||
But maybe like two or three even. | ||
unidentified
|
Because we're gonna have a bigger space. | |
We're gonna have a table that could cater to like five or six people at once. | ||
And so it'd be great to have actually some Civil War historians. | ||
You know what I would love to do? | ||
A Civil War expert and a global national security expert. | ||
and have them like because then the Civil War guy is going to be like here's what we saw in terms of | ||
the 1800s which led to this and the NatSec guy's going to be like that's really interesting because | ||
in you know South Philly when we saw this that's a parallel to and then you might. | ||
You know that kind of reminds me I wanted to bring up Tom McDonald when we were talking about | ||
the Don Lemon Terry Crews thing because a lot of his music that I'm listening to is is very | ||
cultural and and also calling out culture in a sense and it's amazing I feel like he's on the | ||
same page as us. He's incredible. | ||
I would love to have you on a guest if you're listening, Tom, man. | ||
You're a boss. | ||
But seriously, his message, though, he's calling out the culture of not necessarily... I don't want to make it a race thing. | ||
It's a culture issue of... | ||
Rappers glorifying specific things and glorifying violence and glorifying having guns and living that lifestyle which leads to a lot of things that are negative in someone's life. | ||
He's calling a lot of this stuff out and people are hating on him and he doesn't care. | ||
It's spawning even better music from him. | ||
It's great. | ||
It's like this wonderful cycle that he's just living it. | ||
Yeah, man. | ||
It's awesome. | ||
If you don't know him, Tom McDonald, you can check him out on YouTube. | ||
The Coronavirus song was amazing. | ||
I'm not being paid to say this. | ||
I truly believe he's got some incredible music. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, he's good. | |
I grew up in Chicago. | ||
It's got a lot of underground hip-hop music. | ||
He's a really good, talented artist. | ||
You should check him out. | ||
He's got a really good message. | ||
All right, we got this from Carl's Jr. | ||
Post office is in constitution because government provided communications. | ||
Can't be censored. | ||
Needs to be extended to internet. | ||
I never understood why post office was in the constitution until seeing Silicon Valley. | ||
Interesting. | ||
Kaleem says, I'm in college right now studying animation. | ||
I want to create my own animation industry with cities falling apart right now. | ||
What would be a good place to build it? | ||
Love your show. | ||
Spin the UFO. | ||
I will. | ||
Renovo, Pennsylvania. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
I think it's pronounced Renovo. | ||
I say Renova, but there are many towns that are dying. | ||
The population is leaving, there's no jobs. | ||
And there are small towns that once existed for a reason, now they have- Their reason is gone. | ||
Their reason is gone. | ||
The factories are closing, the railroad track, the trains don't come through anymore. | ||
And so, I looked at a bunch of small towns. | ||
And I was talking to some other people of like, you know, prominent political personalities and commentators and comedians. | ||
I'm like, if you've got the money, why don't you move to a city that is dying because it needs industry? | ||
Set up your studio. | ||
It'll be dirt cheap. | ||
You can get really great internet with no competing, you know, access. | ||
So you'll always have the best speed. | ||
You can get, you know, really good gigabit or better. | ||
Hire some locals, give them some jobs. | ||
Hire some locals for the things they can do around, you know, cleaning and building. | ||
But then, naturally, the revenue that flows externally from the ads you generate... So the money we generate for this show comes from all over the country and even some other parts of the world. | ||
Yeah, the world. | ||
And then it centralizes wherever it is we are. | ||
So that's one of the things I really hope to do moving away from the cities. | ||
I can't wait. | ||
Because now we're going to be creating more jobs for rural areas. | ||
There's going to be new industry popping up, new restaurants, new businesses, new services, a real opportunity. | ||
And the money comes from ads from various bigger cities and donations and then can go to this area so we can be job creators. | ||
You know? | ||
Yeah, I love it. | ||
But I love the idea, if you're gonna start a company, move out to one of these towns that needs jobs, and you will revitalize these towns. | ||
And then, if they have only a few thousand people who live there, you put out a call to recruit a few thousand plus one, so that you can take over the local government, and then start enacting crazy laws like, on every Friday, they have to provide tributes in the form of Pop-Tarts to you at your house. | ||
I'm kidding, by the way. | ||
It's a joke. | ||
Sounds great. | ||
That's funny. | ||
Villa Music Dude says, The reason conservatives and Republicans don't stand up much can be explained by personality traits. | ||
One such as politeness. | ||
There is a stronger correlation with this trait. | ||
Look it up. | ||
It is true. | ||
Non-confrontational. | ||
More defensive. | ||
You know, things like that. | ||
You are upset for no reason says, Use this to buy a burrito. | ||
Share it with Adam. | ||
Give him the bigger half and tell him sorry for being a smug contrarian to his perfectly valid points. | ||
Love y'all. | ||
I will order a vegan quesadilla. | ||
I'm gonna put my beanie on just so I can tip it to you, sir. | ||
Perfect. | ||
Thank you. | ||
I will order, here's what I will do, a vegan quesadilla, but I will give you the sour cream. | ||
That's the only thing you're gonna give me? | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
No, no, no, I'm gonna give you half, but you can have the sour cream. | ||
It sounded like you were like, well, I'm gonna keep the quesadilla. | ||
unidentified
|
You can have the beanie and the sour cream. | |
Thanks. | ||
Andrew B says, Tim, with these states saying they will vote with the popular vote, if Trump gets the popular vote, do you think they will still honor that or vote left? | ||
I believe the Supreme Court has just struck down the National Popular Vote Coalition, correct? | ||
I believe so. | ||
So the National Popular Vote Coalition is basically each state saying to their state, no matter how people vote, we give our electoral votes to whoever wins the popular vote. | ||
The Supreme Court said no. | ||
But maybe there's something I'm missing there, but that could be the end of it. | ||
That could be the end of the National Popular Vote Coalition. | ||
They may have just had a huge victory. | ||
Alan McGowan says, I was discouraged when I heard someone made you a like button. | ||
I was working on one made of foam for you guys. | ||
But now that I see it, it's just a pillow. | ||
I'm definitely sending you guys mine. | ||
And you can see which one you like better. | ||
Don't lie. | ||
You're making it for me. | ||
And what we'll do is... Adam, you should put it on the wall behind you. | ||
Oh, no, no. | ||
We're making a new studio. | ||
We are actually moving to a new spot so we are not long for this house and for this place yep so I will I will probably make a custom spot on the wall so I can get up and be like yes I'll be Dwight when he gets we also we also have some sound boards coming so maybe maybe maybe we'll actually get the official someone made this for us yes So wait, you got the official soundboard? | ||
It's coming? | ||
It's a MIDI controller. | ||
I believe it should work. | ||
And then it will give us cheat an election. | ||
So wait, who gets control of the soundboard? | ||
Those people right here. | ||
So you can hit it or I can hit it. | ||
Oh no, actually I think it might have to be with Lydia. | ||
What is that look? | ||
You look like you were farting. | ||
No, I was mad and then I was making faces at them and he was like, oh no, it has to be over there in the corner. | ||
And I was like, yeah. | ||
Yeah, because she controls everything and we just, you know. | ||
Sure does. | ||
Well, I definitely am going to need my own soundboard. | ||
We've got to figure it out. | ||
I like that. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's what I felt like saying right there. | ||
I really would love it so that if you press the button she popped up on the screen. | ||
That's what I want. | ||
I would love that. | ||
I don't know if she, like we might get in trouble because of like. | ||
I've seen YouTube show, well I mean they doctor it after the show. | ||
But I mean, I don't know. | ||
I haven't seen if it's live that happens but we'll see. | ||
I don't know. | ||
All right. | ||
Supra Man says, I don't agree with the far left but I have a family and my future depends | ||
on me having a job. | ||
Nobody will stand up for me if I shout. | ||
I will wait for November, slam my hand down for Republicans, and hope. | ||
What else can I do? | ||
I respect it. | ||
I understand it. | ||
My concern is what happens if it's not enough, and what will your kids have in the future if you don't speak up? | ||
Well, I don't... | ||
It's so easy to say from where you're sitting. | ||
It always bugs me. | ||
It's like, I don't know what to tell this person and I feel bad for this person because that's the state that we're in. | ||
And it's like, you can't, it's a trap. | ||
No matter what. | ||
That right there is someone who wants to adhere to the law and win the correct way. | ||
You know, not by going and breaking down, ripping down statues and screaming at everybody and inciting violence and saying, come at me. | ||
It's like that's, that's, and I think right there is most Americans. | ||
Right there, this person right here. | ||
If every person like him stood up at the exact same time and said, I'm sorry, but I disagree, they would not be fired. | ||
They would not lose their job. | ||
They would not be put at risk. | ||
They would win in two seconds. | ||
The issue is the left is organized. | ||
They have non-profits. | ||
They have organizations that are funding this that are connecting with people and the right doesn't. | ||
Perhaps what needs to happen is one thing you can do is maybe you form an email list and you ask other people who are in similar positions to join the email list or something or sign up and then you can coordinate. | ||
And talk about what bothers you and what you want to see and take collective action. | ||
The left does it all day, every day. | ||
The right doesn't do it. | ||
It's true. | ||
You're right. | ||
There are very few organizations on the right relative to the left that do things like this. | ||
So Blast Binary says, Removing. | ||
Consider Jim Thorpe, PA. | ||
We have 1 gigabit internet, 2 hours to all metro, Victorian housing, 10 plus local owned restaurants, and plenty of gun ranges. | ||
We have already found a secret location in a secret place. | ||
No one will ever know. | ||
It is down by the river. | ||
It's down by a river. | ||
There's enough rivers I think we could just say it's down by the river. | ||
Down by the river. | ||
He had to correct me by saying what I said. | ||
Y'all heard? | ||
You heard it, right? | ||
She said it first. | ||
So both of you. | ||
unidentified
|
It's me. | |
Whatever, yes man, yes woman, whatever. | ||
unidentified
|
No, I'm correcting you too, just so you know. | |
Sure. | ||
Are you moving to Ohio? | ||
It's the only red state on eastern time north of Mugginess. | ||
That's not true, New Hampshire is. | ||
Oh, north of the Mugginess. | ||
North of the Mugginess line. | ||
Yeah, but New Hampshire is red. | ||
Yeah, I think so. | ||
Isn't there another red? | ||
And Maine is half red. | ||
Maine's funny. | ||
I've never been up there. | ||
Maine is like, you can walk in and be like, one gun please, and they're like, here you are, sir. | ||
Yep. | ||
I'm kidding. | ||
You still have the federal wait period, but I was reading about you just walk in and be like, I would like a gun. | ||
And then you can just like stuff it in your shirt. | ||
Like you just walk because there's like nobody who lives there. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
Right. | ||
Okay. | ||
And they have, and they have, they have a thing called black flies. | ||
You know what that is? | ||
Gigantic biting bugs. | ||
Oh, like the insect. | ||
Okay. | ||
I thought it was going to be some sort of weird thing I've never heard of. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I've heard of black flies. | ||
They're, they're all across. | ||
They're prevalent in the Middle East or Midwest also. | ||
Ascendant Media says the tyranny of deterioration worries me, that it's all just a waste of time taking one step forward, two steps back. | ||
Still, I believe there's a breath through the thorns, and I believe this summer's warm. | ||
Thrice the long defeat. | ||
Here's hoping that, this is my hope, that come November, Republicans sweep, and the first thing they do is 230 reform. | ||
And that restores everything back to normal. | ||
Yep. | ||
If you're listening out there, Republicans, it's time to do something. | ||
Please. | ||
Well, we are about 10 minutes over, so, excuse me, I got take-ups. | ||
That means it's time to go. | ||
Go for it. | ||
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you to do it. | ||
Delightfully smash the like button. | ||
Gently. | ||
It's bedtime. | ||
Just touch the like button. | ||
Biden the like button. | ||
Biden? | ||
You gotta go from behind. | ||
You gotta... Oh my gosh. | ||
What are you doing? | ||
Adam is Biden-ing the like button. | ||
You gotta sniff it, Adam. | ||
Gently Biden that like button. | ||
Okay, this got really weird, really fast. | ||
Seriously. | ||
I regret nothing. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
That's amazing. | ||
You know, we've been jamming on a new song together. | ||
He started playing a song and I started jamming on it. | ||
It's actually, it's an old song. | ||
Yeah, we've been jamming on it together. | ||
Whatever, it's new now. | ||
You already knew the words. | ||
unidentified
|
But you just love putting me down, don't you? | |
No, no, no. | ||
That was a compliment. | ||
I throw it on the ground. | ||
I was complimenting you. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, he already knows the words. | |
I was like, you knew how to play it. | ||
You knew the song. | ||
Anyway, what I was trying to say to everybody, be excited. | ||
We're working on music together. | ||
That's true. | ||
That's where I was trying to steer the conversation. | ||
New music! | ||
unidentified
|
Woo! | |
New music you've never heard. | ||
And we have the Will of the People complete version maybe. | ||
Oh yeah. | ||
I think mid-August. | ||
Full video and everything. | ||
I think she's almost done with the song. | ||
And the animation, I don't know how far along they are. | ||
Mid-August. | ||
Maybe end of August. | ||
But I think the song is... We could almost put the song out. | ||
Probably before that. | ||
I want to put it out with the video. | ||
Okay. | ||
The video, I know. | ||
You're right. | ||
I agree. | ||
When you hear the lyrics, you can maybe imagine what... You can fill in the gaps. | ||
But when you see what's happening in the song, it really paints the picture. | ||
Yeah, that's true. | ||
It's gonna be good. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, thanks for showing up, everybody. | ||
Make sure to follow everybody. | ||
You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Timcast. | ||
Follow me at Adam Krigler on Parler, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram. | ||
And actually, Cosmic Garth just got back today. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Ian. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
He walked in and Betsy, the cat, like wigged out because she's so happy. | ||
But the reason I bring him up is because he walked in, looked at me, he was like, Let's start a TV show! | ||
And I'm like, yes! | ||
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
So you can actually, Atomcast IRL is actually a channel. | ||
So you can find it on YouTube. | ||
You can type it in. | ||
I uploaded one of the episodes that me and Ian did about Tesla. | ||
I really love Tesla. | ||
It was one of my favorite episodes that we did. | ||
And we're going to be doing it. | ||
We're going to be digging into some, we're going to be doing deep dives probably once a week. | ||
Maybe, probably a Saturday show. | ||
So you can follow us and watch our show. | ||
In about two months, we're going to have a brand new set. | ||
And it's going to be amazing, because it's probably going to be like multiple sets in one set. | ||
That, you know, like, you could probably carve out a space that's unique, but then the whole show would have a bigger space with guests and everything. | ||
I've already got hit up by several people who are awesome, who want a guest on the show, and I'm excited, but we need, you know, transition. | ||
And we're going to be out in the middle of nowhere, so it'll be very difficult to find a way to bring people out, but we're going to be like in the mountains. | ||
We're going to have to blindfold them. | ||
We're going to have like... Black bag them. | ||
We're gonna have guard towers. | ||
The best part is the auto defense turrets. | ||
unidentified
|
The auto, it's going like... Motion detector turrets. | |
