| Ladies and gentlemen, Oklahoma is no longer a state. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa, whoa. | |
| It's just smaller. | ||
| Just smaller. | ||
| A lot smaller. | ||
| A lot smaller. | ||
| Yeah, Supreme Court ruled today, for those that don't know, that half of Oklahoma is in Native American reservation. | ||
| And it's funny because depending on who you ask, they're going to tell you two different things. | ||
| And I'm going to tell you right away that my reading of this as a not lawyer is You know what? | ||
| It's so shocking. | ||
| I'm just laughing. | ||
| I'm not laughing about it. | ||
| We are literally dealing with this cultural revolution, like Trump said. | ||
| And so you have people in media saying, no, no, no, no, calm down. | ||
| No, no, it's totally OK. | ||
| It's just they're only talking about crimes. | ||
| The state of Oklahoma is totally normal. | ||
| Meanwhile, the state of Oklahoma is like, if you do this, you will cleave our state in half. | ||
| You will take away tax revenue, you'll put us at risk and in uncertainty, and then you get the media going, shh, shh, it's fine. | ||
| Yeah, that's what they want. | ||
| Give them their land back. | ||
| There are so many implications to this ruling, whether or not the Supreme Court said it was only pertaining to federal crimes or not. | ||
| If this land is a Native American reservation, it impacts congressional representation, taxes, it represents who can be held accountable for crimes, and we're getting a narrative from I don't know. | ||
| There's two narratives. | ||
| The state is certainly freaking out. | ||
| I'm sure. | ||
| Because I think they realize he's lost their jurisdiction. | ||
| And I'm seeing a lot of comments from people saying, no, no, no, no, it's fine. | ||
| And I'm like, hmm. | ||
| Well, I guess you got to pick which one you think is really going on. | ||
| If you read the media on the left, they're like, this will just mean that in instances of prosecutions for major crimes, the federal government will handle it. | ||
| But then if you actually read what the state is saying, they're like, we have just lost our state. | ||
| It's gone. | ||
| It's Muscogee Nation now. | ||
| But anyway, that's what we're going to get to in tonight's episode of TimCast IRL. | ||
| I am Tim Poole, your host. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Joining me tonight for today's episode, as always, is his co-host, Adam Krigler. | |
| Hello, everyone. | ||
| Thank you for joining us. | ||
| How are you tonight? | ||
| And also we have... Oh, yeah, Sour Patch Lids. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi. | |
| I'm producing over here. | ||
| And make sure, as always, to Smash that like button! | ||
| What was that? | ||
| I had to wait till the producer was slacking over there. | ||
| Sorry, sorry, not producing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to show you... | |
| Y'all laughed at me. | ||
| Y'all laughed at me! | ||
| Well, who's laughing now? | ||
| I'm just gonna just say I'm still laughing at you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, a little bit. | |
| I went out. | ||
| You see, I knew it. | ||
| I knew it. | ||
| I went on Amazon. | ||
| I got me a pack of Redskins playing cards. | ||
| I got a face mask. | ||
| New Jersey says that you must wear a face mask. | ||
| So I bought a Redskins face mask. | ||
| And now when I go out, I have to wear a mask. | ||
| I'm gonna wear the Washington Redskins. | ||
| And the reason why I'm saying, you know, y'all laughed at me is because it's now been officially Banned. | ||
| You can't buy the merchandise from Amazon, Walmart. | ||
| It was banned for a reason, Tim. | ||
| So you wearing that is offensive. | ||
| I guess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To who? | |
| How dare you? | ||
| Where's the button? | ||
| Who's offended? | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| Here you go. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How dare you? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Where's the button? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I need this handy. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| It's going to be a whole lot of fun. | ||
| We also have the city councilwoman, or a city councilwoman from Seattle, saying that she wants to overthrow the country and create a socialist new order or something. | ||
| What? | ||
| I didn't hear that. | ||
| Yeah, it's crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's crazy. | |
| But I'll tell you, man, what you gotta be careful of when it comes to these Supreme Court rulings, when it comes to the fact that... Look, I'm gonna say it. | ||
| If the Supreme Court says that half of Oklahoma is a Native American reservation... So I looked this stuff up. | ||
| Native American reservations are federal jurisdiction. | ||
| They don't get congressional representation. | ||
| So what does that say for the people of Tulsa? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I bet they're all Trump supporters. | ||
| Well, I mean, only 6,200 people showed up to the Tulsa rally. | ||
| But it is Republican. | ||
| You know, we'll see. | ||
| But there's a lot of interesting things here. | ||
| So we've got this story. | ||
| We've got Socialist Seattle, and they're doing a segregated white racial de-whiteness training, like undoing your whiteness. | ||
| How does that work? | ||
| Listen, man. | ||
| Do you get like melanin plugged into your skin somehow? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Whiteness is like... One of my favorite articles ever was that... Here's the title of the article. | ||
| Black men are the white people of black people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Have you ever seen that article? | ||
| I've heard this before. | ||
| Yeah, I have seen it. | ||
| It's a real article. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Because whiteness is literally just... It would be... It's like... | ||
| You know, I'm allowed to say whiteness. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| But imagine if I took a different race and added Ness to it. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it would be considered a slur. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Well, you're, you're, this is true. | ||
| He is Korean. | ||
| I'm not even gonna play games. | ||
| No? | ||
| No playing games? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Because, you know, I don't know, I don't know what YouTube's gonna do. | ||
| I'm not gonna give him an excuse. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| I feel like we're already on thin ice from the conversations we've had. | ||
| Well, I'm actually really mad because I can't say Korean slurs, but rap songs can use the n-word. | ||
| That's racist. | ||
| I should be able to use the G word. | ||
| Well, as Don Lemon said, seven years ago, they should stop using that word. | ||
| I mean... So I'm just going off what he said right now. | ||
| I'm just saying, what about my rights to use the G word? | ||
| I had a conversation with a Korean person about this who was like... I don't even know what the G word is. | ||
| I can't say it. | ||
| I really can't say it. | ||
| I don't even know. | ||
| Actually, you know what? | ||
| I gotta be honest. | ||
| I'm willing to bet that YouTube doesn't even know what the G word is either. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I bet... I'm not gonna say anything. | ||
| I'm waiting for chat to explode on what it is. | ||
| All I'm seeing is what is it? | ||
| Oh, nobody knows what it is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nobody knows! | |
| Dang! | ||
| Good, good. | ||
| I love our audience. | ||
| I don't know if... because YouTube blocks a bunch of words. | ||
| I actually had a conversation with a Korean person about this. | ||
| uh about whether or not we are allowed to say it and the agreement was yeah of course and i was like even me because i'm mostly white you know but like my family is is part korean and they were like oh yeah for sure definitely oh okay they see it well yeah there it is yeah there's many many chat people that have figured out what it is yeah yeah so uh I'll tell you what, man. | ||
| I'd be willing to bet that if you went out in public and asked strangers to say, like, can you read these words? | ||
| And you wrote, like, bicycle, you know, machine gun, elephant, g-word. | ||
| G-word. | ||
| They would just say it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They would just say it. | ||
| And you'd be like, thank you for that. | ||
| And you have a recording of that person putting out a racial slur. | ||
| So there was actually a I was actually, I'm gonna keep this one relatively vague, but I was talking to some friends and I brought up the fact that most people don't know any racial slurs outside of, like, the N-word, for instance. | ||
| And the S-word, and there's a lot of slurs. | ||
| And I was like, so what would happen if you went to, like, Starbucks and they asked your name and you gave them, like, a racial slur for a race that Americans don't care about, like Koreans? | ||
| Like, I'm pretty confident if I went to Starbucks and they asked for my name and I said the G-word, they would just yell it out. | ||
| Say, Dr. G. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| If I said my name is, you know, G-Word, they would write it down, and then someone would make my Frappuccino, and they'd grab it and go, and just yell it out. | ||
| Is there a G-Word? | ||
| Your Frappuccino's ready. | ||
| No, they would go, G-Word! | ||
|
unidentified
|
G word! | |
| And I'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, are you kidding me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's going on? | |
| I'd start throwing stuff and flipping tables. | ||
| That'd be fun. | ||
| Let me see that. | ||
| And then you film it. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Gotcha, Starbucks. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| Cancel. | ||
| Cancel Starbucks. | ||
| The point I was making was that Americans only care about some minorities. | ||
| They don't care about Asians. | ||
| Same with free speech. | ||
| That's basically their argument now. | ||
| They don't want all free speech, they just want their free speech. | ||
| They say they're for free speech? | ||
| Their specific speech. | ||
| Their approved speech. | ||
| What they've actually argued? | ||
| That's not free speech. | ||
| They've argued, we're actually in favor of free speech because when marginalized voices are oppressed, then they can't speak. | ||
| So by banning hate speech, you actually protect free speech. | ||
| And I'm like, do you know what free speech means? | ||
| Like, anybody can give their thoughts and opinions. | ||
| So you can't ban speech and claim it's free speech. | ||
| That's not... | ||
| Yeah, there's a very solid line between having all free speech and not having free speech. | ||
| And if you ban anything, that's not free speech at all. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| It's black and white. | ||
| Can I even say that anymore? | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| The cliffs are eroding. | ||
| That's the way I describe it. | ||
| When they start banning more and more people. | ||
| James Lindsay, you mentioned this before we started the show, Conceptual James, he was on Joe Rogan, gained a bunch of followers because he's talking about intersectionalism, he pushes back hard, and they suspended his Twitter account for no reason. | ||
| He's a, what is he, a math PhD? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's a math PhD, tweeting like, here's how intersectionality and wokeism works, and they were like, suspended. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa, whoa, whoa. | |
| We can't have people understanding what's going on. | ||
| No, that's true. | ||
| They can't. | ||
| That's exactly why I said it. | ||
| They ban free speech. | ||
| I'm gonna take that as you telling me I was right. | ||
| You are right. | ||
| You are correct, sir. | ||
| Correct, sir. | ||
| Oh, it's like the sun shining on me. | ||
| No, but the thing about the racial slurs, I thought was really funny, is I was like, you could very easily make a whole montage of all of these different chain restaurants, their employees yelling racial slurs, because they wouldn't know what the words meant. | ||
| I was thinking about it because I was watching South Park. | ||
| You ever see that episode of South Park where they go to the, what is it, the Intolerance Museum? | ||
| Is that what it was? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| And they're like, we don't tolerate intolerance. | ||
| But they go through this tunnel where it just spouts a whole bunch of racial slurs. | ||
| And what was interesting to me about it is I didn't know 90% of the words. | ||
| Like if you watch it, it's like a bunch of words. | ||
| And I have a friend of mine who's Italian and he pointed out, I was like, oh yeah, they're making fun of Italians. | ||
| And I was like, I never heard that. | ||
| I didn't know that. | ||
| And so I actually started asking people, and they don't know anything. | ||
| In fact, like, the slur for Hispanic people, most people don't know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean... You can't say anything. | ||
| Don't say anything. | ||
| Well, no, no. | ||
| I was just gonna say that I think, for the most part, because they don't know them, because most people aren't racist anymore. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| It's just... They don't know them. | ||
| Most people aren't racist anymore. | ||
| People are just like... Oh, yeah. | ||
| Oh, are you a cool person? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| Do you know how... I know, like, probably all of the racial slurs for Asian people. | ||
| Because it's probably because of how I grew up. | ||
| What, are you racist or something? | ||
| Because Asians are super racist. | ||
| Oh no, you had your buddy who straight up was like, oh yeah, you're this racial slur. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah, he was the Eric Cartman of my neighborhood. | |
| We thought it was hilarious. | ||
| For those that don't know the context, when I was growing up, there was one kid who just would call everybody by their racial slur. | ||
| And it meant literally, I would say it meant nothing to us, like it didn't affect us, but I would say it was actually a net positive because it was basically like the ultimate diversity and inclusion. | ||
| It was like, listen, when we're here together skateboarding as friends, we are all equally racial slurs. | ||
| Did he talk in the third person too? | ||
| Whatever he would have been, I don't know. | ||
| He would point it out if someone told him. | ||
| He would just yell it. | ||
| Don't call me by my name. | ||
| Call me this racial slur that fits me perfectly. | ||
| I want to be included too. | ||
| Oh, and of course, white people have racial slurs. | ||
| There's a whole bunch of slurs for all the different white people. | ||
| But we grew up with South Park and Family Guy and all these jokes, so everybody loved it. | ||
| And George Carlin. | ||
| You know where he got it from? | ||
| He got it from George Carlin doing the bit where he said all the racial slurs. | ||
| He just goes off and he memorized them all. | ||
| And so we all grew up, like, urban, liberal Chicago, watching George Carlin, and South Park, and so it was hilarious when we'd be out skating, and then he'd just start mouthing off, and it's funny. | ||
| And what he did the best of is he took the power away from it. | ||
| He took away the hate out of it. | ||
| He weakened it. | ||
| Well, no, everyone's bringing it back. | ||
| They're empowering all these words. | ||
| They're bringing it back. | ||
| They're making it that it is a hate thing instead of, um, you have no power here anymore because we have thick skin. | ||
| We have spines. | ||
| We know who we are. | ||
| We don't let that affect us anymore. | ||
| That's, that's, we're losing that. | ||
| It's worse. | ||
| They fired the guy from Papa John's for complaining about it. | ||
| Do you know, did you hear the story? | ||
| I did hear the story. | ||
| I will not talk about it. | ||
| I mean, this, I am not one to get overly like, Like, Chick-fil-A, I don't care, man. | ||
| If I feel like getting a chicken sandwich, I'm going. | ||
| You know, Chick-fil-A was doing this donations to, like, Christian groups, and I said, I don't care. | ||
| And then they canceled, and I was like, I don't care. | ||
| And they started pandering to the far left, and I'm like, I still don't care, man. | ||
| Like, all of these companies do different things. | ||
| I tell you what, though. | ||
| Papa John's. | ||
| I will never eat Papa John's again. | ||
| That crossed the line. | ||
| Papa John was on a phone call, and he was complaining that Colonel Sanders used the N-word, and no one said anything about it, and that was his complaint. | ||
| He was like, you know, you get Colonel Sanders, and he said, and he actually used the full N-word, but to complain about it And then somebody on the call leaked it to Forbes or something, and then they force him out of the company, they pull his name off universities. | ||
| His company. | ||
| His company. | ||
| This is the most insane cancel culture I've ever seen, that you were literally agreeing and complaining about someone getting away with using the word, and they take your name off of a building where you've donated all this money. | ||
| Yeah, it's ridiculous. | ||
| They tried to destroy his life. | ||
| Why? | ||
| He didn't even disagree with them, man. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Do you know about the guy at Netflix? | ||
| No. | ||
| This is probably the best cancel culture example. | ||
| Let me just tell all of y'all listening, right now there are a bunch of threads going around on Twitter where they're like, cancel culture isn't real. | ||
| And there's one going viral where they're like, if you've been canceled, you need to atone for your wrongs and earn back the respect. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| An executive over at Netflix was having a discussion about what words were offensive and could not be used. | ||
| And so he started explaining to people, here are some examples of words you can't use. | ||
| And he said them. | ||
| And somebody in the meeting went, he actually said it! | ||
| And they went to HR and they said, he said the word. | ||
| So they brought him into HR and asked him what happened. | ||
| And as he was describing the incident, he said the word again. | ||
| And then someone in the HR meeting went, he said the word to us! | ||
| They fired him. | ||
| He was saying, I was telling people that these words are offensive and we can't have them on Netflix. | ||
| Words like, and then he lists them off. | ||
| And then they, you know, started all panicking and crying and hiding in the corner screaming that they were under a violent assault by this man. | ||
| So do they have to go back to, you know, writing notes and passing them around? | ||
| These are the words that you must omit from your vocabulary. | ||
| The Q word. | ||
| You know, this is the thing. | ||
| We're both from Chicago. | ||
| I know you know him. | ||
| He's from Chicago. | ||
| I'm from Chicago, too. | ||
| We're going to talk about it a lot. | ||
| That's kind of how we do things here at Timcast. | ||
| We talk about Chicago, that we're from Chicago. | ||
| Well, one thing about Chicago that you may or may not know, they love their pizza. | ||
| All right? | ||
| And we know pizza in Chicago, right? | ||
| Am I right? | ||
| Oh, yeah, man. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| So we know pizza. | ||
| Papa John's? | ||
| You don't make pizza. | ||
| I'm sorry, no. | ||
| Your pizza sucks. | ||
| Alright? | ||
| I'm saying it. | ||
| So, it's no loss. | ||
| I'm not even a big fan of Papa John's. | ||
| If you want good pizza, don't go. | ||
| What's your favorite pizza out of Chicago? | ||
| Uh, Dondy's Pizza. | ||
| Dondy's? | ||
| Yeah, you might not know it. | ||
| Is that a small one? | ||
| It's one Dondy's. | ||
| There's only one. | ||
| I worked there. | ||
| I actually delivered pizzas for a while. | ||
| That was one of my jobs. | ||
| It was an awesome job. | ||
| You know what I used to get all the time? | ||
| I think it was Big Lou's Giardiniera Pizza. | ||
| And I know that you guys listening don't even know what Giardiniera is. | ||
| That's too bad. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Chicago thing. | ||
| That's what I was gonna say. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Chicago thing. | ||
| Giardiniera, man. | ||
| It's weird, but I'll just tell you it's like putting carrots and celery on your pizza. | ||
| And cauliflower. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| It sounds weird, but I mean, I love it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So let's do this! | ||
| Hold on, before we do, I wanted to bring this up. | ||
| I'm actually seeing this a lot. | ||
| It's these lists that people are making of businesses like Papa John's and even Netflix, I guess, probably will make this list of people that are like, if you are so weak-willed to cancel people, we're not going to support you anymore. | ||
| I'm seeing this pop up more and more. | ||
| They're saying, we're not going to give this company our money if they're going to just cater to this cancel culture, essentially. | ||
| It's becoming more and more prevalent as we go on. | ||
| I don't think that would work. | ||
| Why? | ||
| These companies already made their bed knowing full well they'll lose the conservative cash. | ||
| They made a calculated decision before they published, before they got woke, how much do we stand to lose, and how much do we stand to gain, and they chose a side. | ||
| And they've opted for the safe, they think it's safer to go left. | ||
| I do agree with that, because it is about the money. | ||
| And that's not necessarily to say that that is going to be fruitful for them. | ||
| There might come a chance, or a time, where people actually Enough people make a huge dent and they're going, oh wow, we're actually losing money now because we made this decision. | ||
| I mean, Parler is probably the best opportunity right now for collective conservative action because the user base is 99.9% conservative. | ||
| So it would be really easy for anybody on Parler, you, to be like, echo this post so that everyone on the site sees it and send a message about xTaxCompany. | ||
| So we were talking about this before, like one of the things that conservatives and now moderates who are aligned with conservatives on free speech issues, the reason why they can't succeed against the left in many of these culture war battles is because the left has already been organizing for decades. | ||
| They have email lists, they have large groups, they're high-profile Twitter accounts with huge followings, they're verified. | ||
| They put out one tweet to a couple hundred thousand people, hey everybody hit up Verizon and tell them you're in a boycott, and they do, and Verizon panics. | ||
| Conservatives don't do that. | ||
| Imagine if there was a version of that on, say, Parler, and said, everybody spend 10 seconds doing this. | ||
| That would cause these companies to panic. | ||
| Getting from the left and the right flank, they'd be like, what do we do? | ||
| How about we shut up and don't do politics anymore? | ||
| Done. | ||
| Think about if they put their stupid little brand logo and brand message. | ||
| Here at Brand, we support group of people. | ||
| And then all of a sudden they got a huge wave of like 200,000 comments being like, polite, not hateful, just saying we really would respect you more if you didn't engage in politics. | ||
| Look man, you deliver pizzas for my kid's birthday. | ||
| The last thing I need from you is a lecture on my political opinions. | ||
| Please give me pizza. | ||
| That is a fantastic idea, Tim. | ||
| Wink, wink for the people who I just said you can do it. | ||
| I'm not going to do it. | ||
| You can do it. | ||
| And as easily as I can do it, you can do it too. | ||
| I'm talking to anyone who's listening to me right now. | ||
| You can also do this. | ||
| A lot of people have come up to me like, oh, why haven't you started this email list? | ||
| Because I'm spending most of my day researching the stuff that's going on. | ||
| If I started focusing on just researching what companies are cancelling people, that's a very slim thing, and I don't want that. | ||
| I'm trying to maintain a really broad sense of the atmosphere of what's going on in this country. | ||
| And I think that's really important, being where I'm at, you know, sitting next to you. | ||
| Like, I need a broader, you know, sense of things. | ||
| It's not a, you know, and actually someone, you know, kind of reamed us out like, oh, you have this, this skate park in your backyard when you should be, you know, spending money on, you know, organizing a movement. | ||
| It's like, do you not watch our show? | ||
| Do you not know what we talk about? | ||
| We, you know, this is the forum that we have helping people learn how to speak, have a civil conversation, even if you don't agree. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And that's okay. | ||
| You know, now people are questioning whether or not the show will last. | ||
| It's like, they clearly don't understand the friendship that you and I have. | ||
| Well, they're like the questioning that we argue on the show. | ||
| It's a show, people. | ||
| I know. | ||
| We just built a new four-foot quarter pipe, and Adam, he put the final... Well, you basically built the whole thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you threw down a blunt rock fakie. | ||
| First tricks. | ||
| Good go, right? | ||
| And I was worried it was gonna fall over, because it wasn't weighted, and you just went for it anyway. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, no. | ||
| Yeah, we have a skate park. | ||
| That's how I skate, though. | ||
| Listen, man. | ||
| I don't consider myself to be overtly an activist. | ||
| I consider myself to be politically active on certain issues, like freedom, liberty, things like that, and that's why I speak out against it. | ||
| But I'm not a political operative in that sense. | ||
| I don't go and hang out with political groups to give them advice on their political positions and what they should or shouldn't do. | ||
| I don't do it. | ||
| But that's why I said, I'm not gonna make an email list. | ||
| Hey, you can, Adam, if you'd like. | ||
| That's just not something I do. | ||
| But this is kind of the thing I'm talking about. | ||
| This is the problem with a lot of what's going on. | ||
| Everybody expects someone else to do the work. | ||
| You all, every single one of you, needs to do work. | ||
| We all need to understand what's going on. | ||
| Every single person needs to get out and do the research and understand what's happening. | ||
| Everybody. | ||
| It's on everybody. | ||
| We're all humans. | ||
| We're all here. | ||
| We all want this to be better. | ||
| We all want to live comfortably. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| What would it have been like if the planeteers never Combined their powers with their rings. | ||
| And brought Captain Planet? | ||
| No, Captain Planet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| It was only when they realized that together, when they pointed their rings in the sky, they could summon Captain Planet. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yes, Tim. | ||
| I'm spinning the UFO. | ||
| That's a spin. | ||
| It's a spin for Tim. | ||
| I couldn't think of any of the bad guys from Captain Planet. | ||
| Loot and Plunder. | ||
| Plunder. | ||
| That was his name, right? | ||
| That was great. | ||
| That was a Ted Turner show. | ||
| Man, Captain Planet. | ||
| You know what really annoyed me about Captain Planet? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| They never, they almost never actually used their rings on their own. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
| Like, at a certain point, like, you can have some personal responsibility too, you know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Like, there'd be some episodes, like, sometimes they'd be like, you know, Wheeler would be like, fire, and actually burn something. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I guess the concern was that if he was, like, going around burning people, like, the bad guy shows up and he would, you know, that, well, hold on a minute. | ||
| If you're fighting this big evil guy who's gonna pollute this whole country and kill all these people, Wheeler could walk up to him, point at the ring in his face, and go, fire, and just light the dude up. | ||
| But they never did. | ||
| And that's because violence is not the answer, Tim. | ||
| I'm just saying. | ||
| Look, man, I'm sorry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't agree with... | |
| I don't agree with the death penalty, but I do believe there is a line. | ||
| People ask me about this. | ||
| Like, what if you're in combat? | ||
| That's different. | ||
| So I'm not a big fan of Batman's no-kill policy, because you end up with the Justice Lords timeline where the Joker ends up drugging Superman. | ||
| Superman goes and wipes out Metropolis and all that stuff. | ||
| And then he gets mad because Batman could have stopped Joker if Batman would just grow a pair. | ||
| Joker literally kills millions of people. | ||
| At a certain point, I don't believe that after you've subdued somebody and locked them up, that you can then go about ending them. | ||
| But if someone's literally on the verge about to kill a bunch of people, and you have to stop them by any means necessary, that I understand. | ||
| That's just my point about Batman. | ||
| Let's talk about Oklahoma! | ||
| Oh goodness, let's do it. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, now that you're all here, Oklahoma is, I guess it's two states? | ||
| So we have this story from CNBC. | ||
| For those that aren't familiar, this is a big ruling today, and I was really confused why it wasn't getting more attention. | ||
| The Supreme Court has ruled that the eastern half of Oklahoma is a Native American reservation. | ||
| Like, more than half. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| According to the map. | ||
| Well, I got it. | ||
| It's a chunk. | ||
| Here you go. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| Yeah, that's pretty much half, I guess. | ||
| So I think, I'm not entirely sure this is, this is just an image I found on the internet, which is supposedly the original 1866 treaty reservation. | ||
| Look at this little piece of Oklahoma right there. | ||
| Well, you're good right there in that little corner. | ||
| You're alright. | ||
| You're still under state jurisdiction. | ||
| That's gonna be stolen by Kansas in no time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Here's the big challenge. | ||
| Depending on who you ask, well, actually, for the most part, no one's talking about this. | ||
| It's being covered. | ||
| But I'm on Twitter and I'm like, shouldn't people be saying something? | ||
| How is it not exploding? | ||
| I saw a tweet from someone saying, guys, I know Trump's tax returns and all that, but what about this story? | ||
| And no one cared. | ||
| So I looked it up, and I read it, and I busted out laughing. | ||
| Seriously, my main segment today is about this, and I was originally gonna talk about Joe Biden adopting Bernie's policies, and then I saw this, and I started laughing. | ||
| I'm like, the whole article, I'm sorry, man, I'm just gonna say it. | ||
| Based on what I've read, and I've read multiple articles, and I've listened to what the Supreme Court justices have said, it sounds like precedent has been set to dissolve the U.S. | ||
| Yeah, I agree. | ||
| It's pretty scary. | ||
| The simplified version of this argument is that the U.S. | ||
| never officially dissolved the Native American reservation of Oklahoma when they made it a state. | ||
| Chief Justice Roberts said, that's not true. | ||
| Of course they did. | ||
| They made it a state. | ||
| Of course they did. | ||
| So why are these other justices arguing that it's still a Native American reservation? | ||
| Based on that precedent, you would need to make sure, I assure you right now, every single Native American lawyer is pulling up every treaty, and they're going to point to a single word and go, bam, imprecise language. | ||
| So there were 10 other states that warned the Supreme Court, if you rule in favor of the Native American tribes, the same thing will happen in all of our states as well. | ||
| Bye, Hawaii. | ||
| Yeah, Hawaii especially. | ||
| I'm shocked Hawaii is still a thing. | ||
| This was the beginning of the day. | ||
| Hawaii should have been on it already, like, okay, bye! | ||
| So here's the important factors. | ||
| Depending on who you ask, you'll hear something different. | ||
| The Supreme Court justices who favored this And the people who support them, because it was all of the liberal judges, say, no, no, it's only about federal, it's only about crimes. | ||
| Like the state is still working with Tulsa. | ||
| So this is 2 million Americans in this territory that are now living on Native American reservation. | ||
| This means so much more than anyone is saying. | ||
| So let me read you the story and try and figure this out, right? | ||
| So they say the Supreme Court ruled that a huge swath of the state of Oklahoma is Native American land for certain purposes, siding with a Creek Nation man who challenged his conviction by state authorities in the territory. | ||
| I'm going to be very careful about reading the story because the guy who won He's a diddler. | ||
| Not a good guy. | ||
| Not a good guy. | ||
| In 1997, he got convicted of diddling a child. | ||
| A four-year-old. | ||
| Disgusting. | ||
| And argued that his conviction would not stand because it was legally Native American territory and the state had no right to prosecute. | ||
| And the Supreme Court said, yes. | ||
| Let the man go! | ||
| And now the state has said there's 1,700 violent criminals, or just criminals in general, that will now have the same ability. | ||
| Same argument. | ||
| Now here's what the other side is saying. | ||
| They're saying no, no, because their opportunity for appeal and all that has, you know, long since passed. | ||
| I don't believe that. | ||
| If they set a precedent that this is on, you know, Native American land... Yeah, that means they were unlawfully arrested in the first place. | ||
| How would you not be able to petition that? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Let's read a little bit. | ||
| They say the decision means that only federal authorities, no longer state prosecutors, can lodge charges against Native Americans who commit serious alleged crimes on that land, which is home to 1.8 million people. | ||
| Of those people, 15% or fewer are Native Americans. | ||
| Quote, today we are asked whether the land these treaties promised remains an Indian reservation for purposes of federal criminal law, Gorsuch wrote. | ||
| Because Congress has not said otherwise, we hold the government to its word. | ||
| Now here's why I think this is serious, because I understand he's saying it's about federal criminal law, but does this not open the door now for one-upping that argument and saying, if for criminal purposes, why not other purposes? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| More importantly, what did the state say? | ||
| The state didn't say this is only gonna be about crimes. | ||
| They said it's gonna affect everything. | ||
| Because think about this. | ||
| He says federal criminal law. | ||
| What does the law do? | ||
| What does the law do? | ||
| Collect your taxes. | ||
| You don't pay your taxes. | ||
| Okay, what happens if you live in this Tulsa area and you do not pay your Oklahoma state tax? | ||
| I'm sorry, can they actually, can the state come after you now? | ||
| Or is this jurisdiction, is it, they say if you're a Native American. | ||
| Which is only 15% of that 1.8 million. | ||
| But I'm not entirely convinced it ends here, right? | ||
| So let's take out the dissent, right? | ||
| Chief Justice John Roberts dissented the ruling, as did fellow conservatives Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh. | ||
| In his dissent, Roberts warned that across this vast area now deemed to be Native American land, the state's ability to prosecute serious crimes will be hobbled, and decades of past convictions could well be thrown out. | ||
| On top of that, the court has profoundly destabilized the governance of Eastern Oklahoma. | ||
| The decision today creates significant uncertainty for the state's continuing authority over any area that touches Indian affairs, ranging from zoning and taxation to family and environmental law. | ||
| None of this is warranted. | ||
| What has gone unquestioned for a century remains true today. | ||
| A huge portion of Oklahoma is not a Creek Indian reservation. | ||
| Congress disestablished any reservation in a series of statutes leading up to Oklahoma statehood at the turn of the 19th century. | ||
| The court reaches the opposite conclusion only by disregarding the well-settled approach required by our precedents. | ||
| Republican Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt said, I am aware of the ruling in McGirt v. Oklahoma was handed down this morning by the Supreme Court. | ||
| My legal team has been following the case closely and is reviewing the decision carefully. | ||
| They will advise our team on the case's impact and what action, if any, is needed from our office. | ||
| I'm going to skip over to talk about McGirt. | ||
| The state of Oklahoma, in turn, argued to the Supreme Court that the Creek Nation's claim territory was not a reservation at all. | ||
| The state said that if the Supreme Court accepted McGirt's reasoning, it would, quote, cause the largest judicial abrogation of state sovereignty in American history, cleaving Oklahoma in half. | ||
| In court filings to support McGirt, the Muscogee Nation noted that although the tribe had no role in the genesis of this litigation, it quote, now finds its reservation under direct attack. | ||
| Riyaz Kanji, an attorney for the tribe, wrote in a filing that Oklahoma was exaggerating the jurisdictional problems that would ensue if the state lost its case. | ||
| To the extent they hold any water, the state's posited consequences stem from the fact that both executive branch and state officials actively sought to undermine Congress's determination that the nation's government and territory would endure, Kanji wrote. | ||
| Gorsuch endorsed that argument in Thursday's decision. | ||
| He noted, in the majority opinion, that no one disputes that Mr. McGirt's crimes were committed on lands described as the Creek Reservation in an 1866 treaty and federal statute. | ||
| But in seeking to defend the state court judging below, Oklahoma has put aside whatever procedural defenses it might have and asked us to confirm The land once given to the Creeks is no longer a reservation today. | ||
| Gorsuch flatly rejected that request by the state. | ||
| Under our Constitution, states have no authority to reduce federal reservations lying within their borders. | ||
| Just imagine if they did. | ||
| A state could encroach on the tribal boundaries or legal rights Congress provided. | ||
| And with enough time and patience, nullify the promises made in the name of the United States. | ||
| That would be at odds with the Constitution, which entrusts Congress with the authority to regulate commerce with Native Americans, and directs that federal treaties and statutes are the supreme law of the land. | ||
| He added, if that happened, It would also leave tribal rights in the hands of the very neighbors who might be least inclined to respect them. | ||
| Kanji, in an interview after the decision, said that despite the arguments by the state and in Robert's dissent, I don't think this case is going to have earth-shattering consequences on the residents of the land by the Native Americans. | ||
| It just doesn't change anything with respect to non-Indians in terms of criminal cases. | ||
| Well, here's the issue I see with this. | ||
| It definitely changes, and this is what you brought up. | ||
| New lawsuits will emerge, I believe. | ||
| That's what we'll see. | ||
| They don't have representation anymore. | ||
| The Americans that are now living in that area no longer have representation in the government. | ||
| I think they still legally do. | ||
| Okay, so they still will have their seats, the Senate seats. | ||
| Well, the Senate, yes, because Oklahoma's a state. | ||
| But I'm curious as to how this will affect the congressional districts if they've said this is This is a Native American reservation. | ||
| Now here's what's the craziest thing about this, man. | ||
| We have an 1866 treaty with them, right? | ||
| I mean, I've got a video showing all of the territories of the Indian homeland, the Native American homeland, and the reservations. | ||
| And you can clearly see that we've gotten rid of many of their reservations. | ||
| And this is the point I was bringing up earlier. | ||
| If they're going to argue that this 1866 treaty, which we basically, you know, walked all over, is still being upheld, then why wouldn't any of these groups then just sue and say, oh, we have a treaty too? | ||
| So how many other states are going to be impacted by this? | ||
| I don't entirely know. | ||
| I do know, based on a lot of the maps, the Eastern region is fine. | ||
| There's no reservations in the Eastern region, where most of the European settlers were, you know, during the first several hundred years. | ||
| Then after the Revolution, from the late 1700s throughout the 1800s, we had westward expansion, Manifest Destiny, things like that. | ||
| I mean, this clearly shows it all right here. | ||
| Yeah, so I'll let this roll in the background. | ||
| This video calls it the Invasion of America. | ||
| I think it's kind of funny. | ||
| But there's a couple questions I have now based on this ruling. | ||
| I think SCOTUS opened the door. | ||
| I could be wrong. | ||
| I'm not a lawyer, man. | ||
| I don't think there will be any earth-shattering changes for now. | ||
| But I think the door has been opened. | ||
| The changes will slowly emerge. | ||
| Yep, exactly. | ||
| So in this video I've pulled up... | ||
| It's going through the years and showing you the lands that are blue are slowly turning gray because they're being taken by the United States. | ||
| You can see some reservations pop up here and there, but over time, more and more land is just absorbed into the U.S. | ||
| A bunch of reservations pop up in California in the mid-1850s. | ||
| So this is literally Americans just going out there, taking the land. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Was there a treaty for any of these lands that were settled on by Americans, with the Native Americans? | ||
| Many of them, I would say no. | ||
| In fact, reservations, I think, are, let's see, we're gonna see a big jump, right? | ||
| See, there are also reservations. | ||
| I mean, that whole state of Oklahoma, essentially, except the panhandle, was part of the Muskogee. | ||
| So take a look here. | ||
| In 2010, they say only this tiny bit, just in the tip of Oklahoma, is reservation. | ||
| Now they're saying a whole, you know, the eastern portion of it, like 40%. | ||
| I have a question, if that's the case. | ||
| If they're going to argue that we have a treaty from 1866, and they say, you know, the United States agreed this was your land, therefore we'll uphold that, isn't there an argument to say, okay, well, we have no agreement on any of the other land, so that's still ours. | ||
| It was never yours in the first place, right? | ||
| I guess, yeah. | ||
| You could make that argument, yeah. | ||
| Well, I think that argument now has much more merit based on the decision of the Supreme Court. | ||
| So, the way I describe it is like, if I trade something with someone, and then take it back, and they go to court and say, no, no, no, we traded, that's mine, he agreed. | ||
| They'll look it over and say, well, you did agree, so give it back. | ||
| And there'll be a long court battle. | ||
| Let's say I just stole from you. | ||
| The cops would come and arrest me and say, you stole it, give it back. | ||
| Like, there's no lawsuit. | ||
| It's a straight-up theft. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So if the argument is that the U.S. | ||
| must uphold its contracts, and that if the land was granted to them, it's theirs, well, their argument is, this land has always been ours. | ||
| There was never a treaty signed. | ||
| So you're on our land, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I see. | |
| Why wouldn't they be able to present those arguments? | ||
| Right. | ||
| They probably have before, and maybe, you know, they'll keep trying. | ||
| But the bigger fear, I guess, is that many other states have warned outright that they have the exact same issue with reservations in their states. | ||
| Even Maine was saying, apparently, like, we've had native land, that there was a treaty, and then, you know, in the 1800s, they're gonna just ignore the treaty, and now we built our city over this place. | ||
| So what's gonna happen? | ||
| Divided States of America. | ||
| You know there's a reservation apparently in California that's like one acre? | ||
| One acre? | ||
| Yeah, it's like in the middle of a city or somewhere. | ||
| Because it's a cemetery, I guess. | ||
| So there's a lot of places like this. | ||
| And... I see it feels like the door's been opened. | ||
| So I actually did have a question. | ||
| Because Oklahoma is part of Louisiana Purchase. | ||
| We bought it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We didn't exactly make an agreement as such, as far as I know. | ||
| But we literally purchased it outright from the French, I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| You know what, man? | ||
| I think I know where we're going. | ||
| Where? | ||
| Civil War? | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But the point I'm making is, they are now going to start asserting, this is the move being made, and I think we'll see an expansion of this, an escalation of this ideology, this rhetoric, these ideas, that we don't own the land, we never bought it, we don't have a right to it, They're now going to say, the lands that you contractually own based on the ancestor, you know, the Native Americans are these. | ||
| So these are ours. | ||
| And maybe in 5200 years, all this land will be controlled back. | ||
| California will become under complete jurisdiction of the Native American tribes. | ||
| Or the SJW universe? | ||
| Well, you know, the thing is, a lot of Native Americans are like 132nd Native American because of just time settlement, European colonialism, whatever. | ||
| But it seems like the door has been opened to now they're going to start arguing, you're on stolen land, decolonize. | ||
| Like, this is step one. | ||
| Maybe it stops here, but I'll throw it back to, you know, good old John Oliver. | ||
| When Donald Trump says they're going to tear down the Confederates, where does it end? | ||
| Jefferson? | ||
| Washington? | ||
| And John Oliver said, somewhere it stops. | ||
| Somewhere, obviously, they're tearing down Confederates, not the Founding Fathers. | ||
| And then they tore down the Founding Fathers. | ||
| So where does this stop? | ||
| Now we're going to see Maine, Texas, Montana, all these other states that we're warning. | ||
| Hawaii. | ||
| Hawaii is the best example. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's why I came out. | ||
| Because several years ago, I think it was maybe like six, seven years ago. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| See if you can Google search this. | ||
| A bunch of native Hawaiians stormed the state capitol building and barricaded themselves inside it, armed, I guess, for two weeks. | ||
| Something like that happened. | ||
| It's been a really long time since I read the story. | ||
| One could argue it was the original Chaz. | ||
| The original Chaz. | ||
| Maybe so, yeah. | ||
| Well, I mean, no. | ||
| Hawaii had a king and everything. | ||
| Well, actually, and that brings up a good point. | ||
| Isn't like the entire history of humans? | ||
| Conquest? | ||
| People taking other people's land? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Right? | ||
| There's a song. | ||
| I think it's called, This Land is My Land. | ||
| It's like a very famous viral video. | ||
| Well, the next line is, this land is your land. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Oh, it's not? | ||
| This land is my land. | ||
| God gave this land to me. | ||
| Oh, I didn't hear. | ||
| I don't know that version. | ||
| And the video is talking about Israel. | ||
| And it starts with all the different nations that have laid claim to the Holy Land and fighting. | ||
| And the bodies keep piling up where they keep saying, this land is my land. | ||
| God gave it to me. | ||
| OK. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But what were we talking about before that? | ||
| I'm looking for it. | ||
| They're just talking about reopening Hawaii and stuff right now. | ||
| It's an old story. | ||
| And so somebody emailed me this saying that Hawaii was essentially, you know, occupied and taken over. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That America needed the strategic position in the Pacific. | ||
| And so they broke a lot of rules to make Hawaii, you know, into a state. | ||
| And there are Native Hawaiians who have always resisted and never agreed to this. | ||
| So, do we have a hard treaty with the people of Hawaii over this state becoming occupied? | ||
| I don't know much about this kind of stuff. | ||
| I'm gonna have to do some digging on it. | ||
| You can't find anything on it? | ||
| I can't find anything that far back. | ||
| I think it was during Occupy Wall Street, which is why it was a big deal to everybody. | ||
| The Native Americans were demanding their land back. | ||
| The Native Hawaiians were demanding their land back. | ||
| Occupy Honolulu in 2012? | ||
| I don't know, maybe. | ||
| That sounds about the right time. | ||
| Yeah, that is the right time frame. | ||
| Well, I don't know exactly what happened, but did they storm into the Capitol building or something? | ||
| Yeah, they're camped outside the Capitol building. | ||
| No, no, no, inside. | ||
| Oh, inside. | ||
| Maybe that was it, I don't know. | ||
| But apparently it's happened multiple times, I guess. | ||
| Like Hawaiians being like, give us back our land. | ||
| And now it's occupied by big businesses and the military and America. | ||
| It's American now. | ||
| So what happens if a lawsuit is waged saying that they have no jurisdiction over this, and they say that, you know, the original agreements for statehood were not, were imprecise, and then you get these same justices going, yep, sure. | ||
| Because they've already set the precedent themselves. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe, maybe it's all overhyped. | ||
| You know, it's possible. | ||
| My only, my only issue with it is, considering how insane everything has been this year, I'm gonna go ahead and just bet on the worst. | ||
| You know they got volcano sharks now? | ||
| You see the story? | ||
| I'm sorry, what? | ||
| Did you guys see the story? | ||
| Can you Google this? | ||
| I clearly did not. | ||
| I'm sorry, volcano sharks? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let me see what I can find. | ||
| I'm at the edge of my seat. | ||
| Don't leave me hanging. | ||
| It was a viral post on Reddit. | ||
| Oh yeah, they live inside a volcano. | ||
| Is that right? | ||
| Like, swimming through the lava kind of thing? | ||
| Yeah, so these sharks live inside a volcano. | ||
| Um, this is from 2017. | ||
| It's not Sharknado, but it's definitely Sharkcano. | ||
| These pictures have found thriving, active sharks in an underwater volcano in the Solomon Islands. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| They still live in water, though. | ||

Yeah, yeah. | |
| This year... Ah, that's not as cool. | ||
| I don't care anymore. | ||

Oh Yeah, that's what I'm talking about the horns just came in Yes The cannons. | |
| Yeah, in January. | ||
| There's literally cannons in that song. | ||
| They found live sharks inside an active volcano in Mexico. | ||

| Huh. | ||
| Great. | ||
| So it's an election year. | ||
| The Democrats seem more desperate than they've ever seemed. | ||
| Yep, been saying it. | ||
| A couple polls have come out predicting a Donald Trump victory, but for every poll or forecast model that says Trump will win, there's like seven that say he'll lose. | ||
| I know, it's true. | ||
| But there's another one that came out, I was talking about this earlier, that says the riots are helping Trump dramatically, as we assume. | ||

I believe that, yeah. | |
| And they said that when polled, it was like 71% of people said they prefer All Lives Matter to Black Lives Matter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So that's a huge swing, but we have heard similar things from two other polls, Economist and YouGov, showing that most people in this country have a positive view of All Lives Matter, and it's like 40-something percent have a positive view of Black Lives Matter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But that makes sense though, because most, as we talked about earlier, most people are not racist. | ||
| Most people do believe all lives matter. | ||
| And the Black Lives Matter movement, you know, it's kind of like, I mean, what Terry Crews was saying, we got to have it be Black Lives Matter, not Black Lives Better. | ||
| And it's like they're trying to convince more people like the people that do believe all lives matter it's like they're trying to convince people that no no no you're racist black lives matter means like if you don't believe this because they counter with all lives matter which you made a great point the other day the only thing you can say to it is yeah you're absolutely right they do because it's true | ||
| Don't, like, you know, you have to understand, like, if they truly feel that black lives don't matter, then you have to, when they say it, there's only one thing to say. | ||
| You're absolutely right. | ||
| That they do matter. | ||
| You're absolutely right they matter. | ||
| Absolutely, 100%, they matter. | ||
| The problem is, it's like, I, you know, Their argument is All Lives Matter as a rebuttal is racist, and it diminishes what they're saying. | ||
| And I'm like, why do you assume negativity? | ||
| If I said Black Lives Matter, and then someone was like, All Lives Matter, I'd be like, they do. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| How's it going? | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm not gonna get mad. | ||
| No, you made a really good point there. | ||
| It's they're assuming that if you're not in their party, in their group, and you don't agree to their ideology, you must be on the other side of the spectrum. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| There's no little bit, no negotiating. | ||
| It's just this, or you're my enemy now. | ||
| But there are people who get really angry at people saying black lives matter. | ||
| I see that also. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| If someone came to me and they were like, um... But it's the same reason. | ||
| If someone was like, I got a flat tire on my car, I'd be like, let me know what you need. | ||
| And if someone else came by and said, well, what about all the other cars that have flat tires you can help them too? | ||
| I'd be like, I'll see what I can do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Thanks for bringing it up. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm not going to get mad about it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I'm having an effect on you. | ||
| You're starting to get a little more positive, I feel. | ||
| I feel it. | ||
| That's the milk toast fence sitter in me. | ||
| No, that's pretty, that's pretty positive, bro. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Then I'm, then I'm not going to, but that's, that's how I, that's, that's my shtick. | ||
| That, like, both sides come to me and I'm sitting there in the middle going like, whoa, whoa, hey, hey, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Yeah, it's still pretty... Don't cross over this fence! | ||
| I'm sitting here! | ||
| Well, my perspective is always the one of optimism, so... I sense it. | ||
| It's... it's start... the level is raising. | ||
| Can I get more pessimistic? | ||
| Uh, probably. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I'm sure you can. | ||
| No, please don't. | ||
| We just had the Supreme Court rule. | ||
| I'm not trying to tell you to be more pessimistic. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Let's stay where we were. | ||
| I'm sorry I've said anything. | ||
| Let's go back to where we were and go. | ||
| We just had the Supreme Court rule that half of Oklahoma is a Native American reservation based on an 1866 treaty because of the left-leaning justices as well as Neil Gorsuch. | ||
| Gorsuch? | ||
| Gorsuch. | ||
| Gorsuch? | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Uh, now we have this. | ||
| Socialist Seattle councilwoman, overthrow racist, sexist, violent, utterly bankrupt system of capitalism. | ||
| But she's basically making a reference to the entirety of the country. | ||
| Like, she wants to- here, I'll just read this quote for you. | ||
| Please do. | ||
| So this is the Seattle City Councilman said, We are coming for you and your rotten system. | ||
| We are coming to dismantle this deeply oppressive, racist, sexist, violent, utterly bankrupt system of capitalism, this police state. | ||
| We cannot and will not stop until we overthrow it and replace it with a world based instead on solidarity, genuine democracy and equality, a socialist world. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There's a lot there. | ||
| I don't even know where to start. | ||
| I'm at a loss. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I'll bring it back to what we were just talking about earlier, all right? | ||
| How most people are not racist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Most people don't fit that category that they're talking about. | ||
| Where did it just go? | ||
| Can you bring that back? | ||
| I just want to break it down. | ||
| This deeply oppressive Yeah, yeah, this deeply oppressive, racist, sexist, violent, utterly bankrupt system of capitalism. | ||
| Where is this world they're living in? | ||
| Where? | ||
| What? | ||
| I don't... It's like we were talking about. | ||
| They're getting these ideas from movies, and, you know, because there's always a bad guy, there's always this crazy story, and it's like, I'm not saying that racist people don't exist. | ||
| They can... | ||
| F off, for lack of being able to say the word I want to say right now. | ||
| But most people think that. | ||
| So it's like, this world that they claim America is, I know they are. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| Clearly, they said it right at the end. | ||
| We want a socialist world. | ||
| The goal is to use something that you are offended by, racism, and then say, you oppose racism, right? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Well, capitalism is racist, right? | ||
| Well, I would say no. | ||
| Oh, but it totally is. | ||
| How come so many poor communities are mostly minority communities? | ||
| I would say that we don't teach our kids to be superhumans, you know? | ||
| We teach them how to fall in line, you know? | ||
| and we're seeing the effects of that now. | ||
| Most people make it nowhere near that. | ||
| And when these people show up and say, did you know that majority of the impoverished communities | ||
| in big cities are minority? | ||
| They go, oh, because of racism. | ||
| And they go, oh. | ||
| It has nothing to do with being in a city. | ||
| You hate racism, right? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Then you need to abolish capitalism. | ||
| And they go, oh, and that's it, done. | ||
| One thing I've learned. | ||
| Even though most poor people are white. | ||
| One thing I've learned on this job is nothing is that easy. | ||
| And when anyone tries to claim, oh, this whole big complex issue is simply because of this. | ||
| And we could just get rid of it by switching to this. | ||
| And it's like, that is nonsense. | ||
| Everything is super complex. | ||
| Every day I learn more and more, and I feel further and further away from the entirety of everything, because every day I realize how complex the system we're living in is. | ||
| Nobody, I am not even an expert and I'm like bombarding my brain about how to understand all this. | ||
| Guaranteed, none of these people are experts either. | ||
| They're just claiming they have the answers. | ||
| They want power. | ||
| When they just want power. | ||
| They found a way to exploit the vulnerability. | ||
| You're absolutely right. | ||
| Your good will. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Most people are not racist. | ||
| So most people will oppose racism. | ||
| So then they come to you and they say, but look at all these examples of racism. | ||
| They take certain stories out of context to manipulate you. | ||
| That way you, in the end, socialism. | ||
| Because that's their real goal. | ||
| They don't care about minorities. | ||
| In fact, dare I say Karl Marx was a racist and they themselves are extremely racist. | ||
| Like man, some of the most racist people I've Ever met! | ||
| My goodness, I've never seen more racism than I have in the past four months from these people on the left fighting against racism. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| Well, you gotta correct that statement. | ||
| How so? | ||
| Claiming to fight against racism. | ||
| Okay, good point. | ||
| Right, yes. | ||
| Claiming. | ||
| They're not doing that! | ||
| You're absolutely right. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| I think part of the problem, Marcellus Wiley said this. | ||
| Dude's awesome. | ||
| Amazing dude. | ||
| I love him. | ||
| He's great. | ||
| Solid voice. | ||
| Smart. | ||
| Knowledgeable. | ||
| But he said this recently. | ||
| He said, one of the problems is, everybody has access to a platform. | ||
| And people who have the loudest voice, they tend to be ignorant. | ||
| Kind of what I was just saying. | ||
| Everything's so complex you can't just claim you know the answers and if if someone doesn't agree with you because they might know More about a complex system part of it than you, you know, they just get upset but people have this platform and they're using it and You know, they're making statements that aren't fully informed They are in ignorance in the in the classic sense of it Like they they are using it spouting it and almost everybody does this now, you know, it's just kind of like that's the issue all these, the list of things that that person said is | ||
| wrong with the world, you know, it comes from all these different people that probably are | ||
| ignorant of what's really going on in the world. | ||
| They probably have no idea. | ||
| So the big challenge right now is how do we create a unified trust that the journalism | ||
| is dead, you know. | ||
| So what happens is, I put out a tweet. | ||
| My joke tweet said, you know, it's sad when anyone loses their life. | ||
| We must do better to teach people not to dance on highways at night, wearing all black around a curve behind an obstruction. | ||
| And a bunch of these lefties got really mad saying that I was victim blaming one who had been murdered. | ||
| Right, but she didn't get murdered. | ||
| Even legally. | ||
| Someone commented and they said the guy literally drove around barricades to get on the highway and then sped into these protesters. | ||
| Cops haven't said that? | ||
| That's not true at all. | ||
| Yeah, no one said that. | ||
| So I responded with, does anybody actually read the news? | ||
| And then someone's screen grabbed, I think it was NPR, which was just completely at odds with the video evidence. | ||
| And they said, I did, did you? | ||
| I demand a correction. | ||
| And I said, I didn't just read NPR, or the Washington Post, or the local news, you know, in Seattle, or watch all the videos. | ||
| I did all of these things, and what this says is wrong. | ||
| But this is an actual news article, and you're just a guy on Twitter. | ||
| So how do we get past that point where they're reading fake news, that's just, no one's done any work, and they're gonna tell me I'm wrong and they demand a retraction, and then they go around screen-grabbing this being like, look how dumb he is! | ||
| He made this up! | ||
| See? | ||
| NPR said so! | ||
| And I'm like, I took NPR, Washington Post, ABC Local, Fox Local, and three videos of the actual stream the woman got hit. | ||
| I put them all together and said, that's what happened. | ||
| But they didn't do that. | ||
| They just blindly follow the journalist who just, like, scribbled some nonsense. | ||
| Well, someone on a platform that I saw proved my narrative, so I'm just gonna run with that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's how they do it. | ||
| It's the easiest thing to do. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I can't tell you how many times there'll be, like, a story, and I'll go, like, whoa, this story is crazy, and I'm thinking, like, man, I can't believe this is happening. | ||
| Now, before I actually sit down and decide to do a segment on this, let me do some fact-checking, and it's not true, and delete. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And every day, several times, I'll see someone tweet out something like, | ||
| did you hear this? And then I'll be like, whoa, and I'll start digging into it and be like, | ||
| wrong. Well, and I like the Ghislaine Maxwell. Yeah. People started saying that this user on | ||
| Reddit was Ghislaine Maxwell, the, you know, the second in command to Epstein. It's crazy. | ||
| And they were like, look at this pattern of posting and all this stuff. And then I was like, | ||
| I saw a bunch of conservatives tweeting like, whoa, this is crazy. And like retweeting this | ||
| thread. And I'm like, there's no proof. This is Maxwell. | ||
| What is this? Because the, because the user's name was like Maxwell Hill. Okay. It's one of the | ||
| most prominent Reddit users. And And then someone immediately responded, Maxwell Hill is a place in Malaysia, please stop this. | ||
| And then the user actually started posting, like, I can't, I have no idea what's going on. | ||
| Oh wow. | ||
| They try, this is the, this is the, this is, this happens. | ||
| Like after she got arrested. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So they were saying that as soon as she got arrested, the post stopped. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And sure, you can argue it's a true- it's a conspiracy, and then once they realized people knew it was her, someone logged in and then said, nope, nope, I'm still here when it really was her, whatever, fine. | ||
| There's no evidence to suggest it was actually her, and I saw a ton of high-profile people posting this. | ||
| So I won't post it. | ||
| I won't- I won't even- I don't- don't even bring it up unless it's to point out. | ||
| No confirmation. | ||
| I have the best situation here. | ||
| I'm doing all this research. | ||
| People are hitting me up, giving me ideas, sending me this stuff that's crazy. | ||
| I'm like, whoa, this is insane! | ||
| Yo, Tim, is this true? | ||
| Nope, not true. | ||
| I'm like, oh, no, not that one. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| There's a couple where you're like, hey, did you hear this? | ||
| I'm like, I don't think that's true because of this. | ||
| And you go, let me check. | ||
| Oh, wait, I think I found it. | ||
| And I'm like, oh, wow, really? | ||
| Yeah, well, there's been a few times. | ||
| Yeah, it's pretty cool. | ||
| The Black Lives Matter woman saying that, you know, talking smack about white people. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I thought it, because it was a screen grab, that I was like, I know, I know that, you know, for those unfamiliar with the story, a high profile member of Black Lives Matter in, I think, Toronto. | ||
| Toronto, yeah. | ||
| Said things about white people that I probably can't repeat on YouTube about, you know, positioning in ranking the racist, to put it that way, right? | ||
| Yeah, that's bad. | ||
| Just superiority, inferiority stuff. | ||
| And I know that Black Lives Matter had said something like this before that went viral. | ||
| So when the story popped up again and all people were sharing were screenshots, I didn't believe it. | ||
| And I was like, no one's actually posted any hard source. | ||
| Turns out the post was really old, but it was legit. | ||
| I think it was like three years old or something. | ||
| Yeah, back in 2017. | ||
| But so the problem we face now is that it's all noise. | ||
| And you know what I think might be happening with these polls and with Trump and the election and all that stuff? | ||
| You have a journalist. | ||
| I'll do air quotes. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was doing it in my head. | |
| And they're sitting in their office and they have like a, you know, like most of them, their eyes are rolled to the back of their head and they're just like drooling. | ||
| And then someone walks in and goes, right, Trump bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they go, okay. | |
| And they start mashing the keys. | ||
| And then just like, they have like, you know, a dozen, you know, chimps in a room all mashing the keys and eventually orange man bad pops up. | ||
| When they write that nonsensical story, Then they publish it. | ||
| Then there's another newsroom where you have the same people sitting there drooling. | ||
| And then they see the article pop up and it says, Trump stole a scoop of ice cream. | ||
| And they go, Donald Trump is a thief. | ||
| He was caught stealing. | ||
| You know Donald Trump was gonna steal from everybody. | ||
| And now they've taken this and used it as pretext to write another article. | ||
| Donald Trump is a thief, confirmed. | ||
| Then another journalist drooling in their office, you know, sees Donald Trump as a thief and they go, how long has Donald Trump been stealing from the poor? | ||
| And it just keeps spinning around in circles. | ||
| The mainstream media telephone network. | ||
| Right. | ||
| If you will. | ||
| So let's say the first, you know, person sees a poll that says, will Trump, you know, be triumphant in November? | ||
| And it says it's a neck and neck race between Trump and Biden. | ||
| And they go, whoa, so Trump might actually lose. | ||
| The article is saying, or this poll comes out saying Trump does have a decent probability of losing. | ||
| So they write, Trump could actually lose this election. | ||
| Send. | ||
| Now the journalist sees it. | ||
| Trump is losing. | ||
| Whoa, Trump is losing. | ||
| Send. | ||
| And someone writes, whoa, Trump is losing? | ||
| Trump has no chance. | ||
| Send. | ||
| The next person sees it. | ||
| Trump has no chance. | ||
| It's over for Trump. | ||
| He's panicking. | ||
| Send. | ||
| And the last one is Donald Trump floundering. | ||
| Administration is panicked. | ||
| And then a journalist calls someone working with Trump and goes, is it true that you're all in a free fall panic, that everything is falling apart around you and your lives are over and Trump's house burned down? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| And even better, the Republicans are thinking of dropping Trump. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That is an actual thing I read that was going around. | ||
| And then at the same time that story comes out, where it's like Republicans discuss Trump dropping out, Politico writes, Trump admits it, he's losing. | ||
| And then the actual quote from Trump, we're expecting a really huge win when the silent majority steps up. | ||
| It's going to be historic, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And I'm like, So what am I supposed to trust your top-secret anonymous sources or the words of the man himself, right? | ||
| I have I have no reason Listen, I understand some people don't like Trump and some people do like them like him I don't care if you like him or don't like him. | ||
| Yeah, if it came down to it and and Ian said Yo, Tim, Adam wants to eat a cheeseburger. | ||
| I'd be like, well, that's strange. | ||
| Adam's vegan. | ||
| And then I came to you and said, Adam, what do you want to eat for lunch? | ||
| And you said a vegan cheeseburger. | ||
| I'd be like, I'll take your word for it. | ||
| You said those words. | ||
| Why would I be like, I don't know? | ||
| Ian said you wanted a regular cheeseburger. | ||
| Well, technically, I would just say cheeseburger. | ||
| I wouldn't add the word. | ||
| I would know what you meant. | ||
| But this reminds me of I can't remember what it was, but someone stole Peter's phone or something, and then texted Joe, like, I'm gonna go to Build-A-Bear with you, and then Peter was like, I don't wanna go, and he goes, I don't know, it says right here on the phone, you said you wanted to come with me, and he's like, no, no, I don't wanna go. | ||
| Then his phone rings and he goes, nope, says you do. | ||
| So then they go and then Peter's like, can I leave? | ||
| And he goes, well, you just texted me again saying you want to stay. | ||
| So like, that was the joke. | ||
| Like somebody was texting him pretending to be Peter and Joe was like, no, I don't know. | ||
| Like, I know you're telling me, but I see this text. | ||
| We literally are in a world where journalists will go to Donald Trump and be like, Mr. Trump, what's your favorite kind of pizza? | ||
| And he'll go, I really love pan with a nice oily Parmesan crust. | ||
| And then they'll go, but anonymous sources say Trump Actually likes Deep Dish. | ||
| Confirmed. | ||
| The man literally told you what he was doing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's the craziest thing that we are in this era. | ||
| How am I supposed to... I got something for you. | ||
| A poll was released in March from CBS. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it found that Americans trust Trump more than the mainstream media. | ||
| Think about how bad the media has to do for people to prefer to trust a real estate reality TV mogul. | ||
| Well, I mean, he won. | ||
| He won. | ||
| He's the president. | ||
| Newsflash. | ||
| If you don't like him and you're trying to deny it, he is the president. | ||
| And that proves people like listening to what he has to say. | ||
| So people go out and watch his speeches. | ||
| It's online. | ||
| They can listen to the man himself. | ||
| The media is so bad at what they do that more Americans would trust a reality TV real estate mogul than an actual 20-year career veteran journalist. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It says a lot, doesn't it? | ||
| Yes, it does. | ||
| That you go and listen to Trump. | ||
| And it's an issue of Trump saying something like, you know, he'll go up and go, I really like deep dish pizza. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| And then the press writes, Donald Trump hates all pizza. | ||
| And you're like, if you don't... No, no, no. | ||
| Donald Trump hates Chicago. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, what? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Donald Trump culturally appropriates Italians. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| Oh, snap. | ||
| It's the actual real example. | ||
| It's Donald Trump giving a speech where he said, we're going to build a great garden of heroes. | ||
| Everybody loves it. | ||
| It's the best. | ||
| Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman. | ||
| And then Brookings Institute goes, Trump wants to build, Trump calls Confederate soldiers heroes. | ||
| And it's like, what? | ||
| I did not hear that at all. | ||
| When did that? | ||
| When? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When? | ||
| How'd I miss that? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, it's because he was talking about the forefathers. | ||
| Yeah, and they extrapolated that to mean Confederates. | ||
| Well, sure, they lied. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| 100% they did. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Well, most people listen to him speak. | ||
| So when they see the mainstream narrative and they're like, that's ridiculous. | ||
| I listened to what he said over and over and over for four years. | ||
| What do they think is going to happen? | ||
| People are going to be Thank you Greta. | ||
| Is it going to be Hillary Clinton? | ||
| Are we going to talk about this? | ||
| Is it going to be Hillary Clinton? | ||
| Did you see her speech about how female presidents have handled the coronavirus the best on the world? | ||
| So wink wink. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| I noticed something else. | ||
| Would you notice? | ||
| New haircut. | ||
| New haircut. | ||
| Big ol' smile. | ||
| Botox. | ||
| Light colors. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Pleasant, pleasant, cheery demeanor. | ||
| Sunny setting. | ||
| Sunny setting. | ||
| Did I, did I jinx us like four months ago? | ||
| Dang it, Adam. | ||
| Well, Biden said he was going to pick a woman. | ||
| The second that left, the words left his mouth, I was like Hillary Clinton. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No doubt. | |
| Biden, she's going to take you out. | ||
| The moment he says it, the moment he says it, every single media outlet will start praising | ||
| Hillary Clinton. | ||
| They're going to be like, this has been a disaster, our economy is in ruins, it's about | ||
| time we went back to 2016 and made the right choice. | ||
| But that is not democracy. | ||
| They are throwing it in people's faces. | ||
| We don't care what you think. | ||
| We don't care about your vote. | ||
| They only care about your vote. | ||
| We don't care what you think, though. | ||
| We didn't have to send her to debate and show you why she would be a good president. | ||
| We're just gonna shove it down your throat that she's gonna be the one for you. | ||
| It's like, aw, gross! | ||
| There's gonna be... terrible. | ||
| They're already saying this. | ||
| The memes are popping up where they're like, I thought the Trump presidency would be bad. | ||
| I didn't realize it would be this bad. | ||
| The economy is in ruins. | ||
| People are dying. | ||
| The economy has been amazing. | ||
| What are they talking about? | ||
| They waited until the 11th hour when it mattered most. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I mean, look, I actually have a tweet here to show you guys. | ||
| They waited until the very last minute to exploit whatever they could exploit. | ||
| So take a look at this tweet from Dr. David Samadi. | ||
| Please explain to me why mandatory masks were not implemented around March 22nd if they were serious about stopping the spread. | ||
| If they were thought to be effective, they should have been used from day one. | ||
| Implementing them at this point does next to nothing. | ||
| Take a look at this! | ||
| Figure 4 confirmed deaths among COVID cases by date of death, Ontario, March 1st to July 5th. | ||
| Look at this! | ||
| Mandatory masks implemented, and there's almost no deaths. | ||
| Yeah, after it took out all the people that were immunocompromised, that were already on the verge of with other pre-existing conditions. | ||
| So yeah, it makes sense. | ||
| But why would they make it mandatory after the fact? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| I have no idea, man. | ||
| 11th hour exploitation of a crisis for political gain? | ||
| I mean, there was that tweet by AOC that is contested. | ||
| I don't know if it's real. | ||
| I didn't see the tweet myself. | ||
| Which one? | ||
| I don't think it's real. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Which one? | ||
| She basically... Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I'll just say there's tweets that are going around that were basically... No, no, no. | ||
| Was this the one where she said, close the businesses? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not real. | |
| No, I know. | ||
| I know it's... It's condescending. | ||
| Mad people are saying, I saw it for myself. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I didn't see it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| You gotta think about it, though. | ||
| The tweet being fake is regardless. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| I'm not talking about the tweet itself being fake. | ||
| I'm talking about the fact that they are clearly happy the economy is now tanking, that now they're talking about it. | ||
| Now they're blaming Trump for the economy tanking, but it's actually because they're doing COVID-19 and the business is not opening up again. | ||
| They really do feel like most people are idiots. | ||
| They're exploiting the crisis. | ||
| Yep, absolutely. | ||
| So I thought about this because people have talked about the right flight as people in the know flee the cities. | ||
| Regular people aren't going to flee the cities. | ||
| They're not paying attention. | ||
| That's probably true. | ||
| And so the cities are going to become a bunch of NPCs and the resistance, the people who oppose these Democrats, will leave giving them guaranteed power for the next however long. | ||
| Man, that's another good point. | ||
| That's solidifying their win over the cities that people live now. | ||
| So here's what's going to happen. | ||
| Some liberal types are going to leave because they're rich. | ||
| Most conservative types and moderate types will leave because they're more industrious. | ||
| And then the people without the capability to move and the people who don't pay attention will stay, giving them the politically uninitiated and the poor. | ||
| And those are the people who are going to vote Democrat. | ||
| Guaranteeing no competition in these jurisdictions for Congress. | ||
| Man, the more I look into the policies that they've put, I am leaning... Scratch your head. | ||
| Maybe not Republican. | ||
| I'm definitely a lot more conservative than I realized. | ||
| You'd probably be along with the Libertarian Party. | ||
| Probably, yeah, that's true. | ||
| Yeah, the Libertarian Party has always had fiscally conservative policies, but socially liberal, in a sense. | ||
| Not completely, but basically the Libertarian Party was more like, hey, let's not have the government spend all our money on dumb war stuff. | ||
| Let's let people live and do their thing. | ||
| And that includes, there's a really funny shirt that says, I can't remember what it says, maybe you know what I'm talking about? | ||
| The one where it's like, I just wanna smoke pot with... Oh yeah, I wanna be able to protect my pot plants with my automatic weapon from my, like, with my gay neighbors or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| You know what I'm talking about. | ||
| Yeah, but if, like, basically the Democratic Party is gun control, the Republican Party is pro-life. | ||
| But this is changing, man. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| I think it's changing. | ||
| I think everything was just shifted dramatically to the left. | ||
| When you look at, now, Jeff Van Drew is a good example. | ||
| He's got a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood. | ||
| That's my understanding. | ||
| And he's a Republican. | ||
| He switched parties. | ||
| And he won the primary. | ||
| So here's a guy who's pro-choice, and he was a conservative Democrat, so he's probably the furthest left Republican there is, but the whole Republican Party is gonna move left on a ton of issues. | ||
| Think about every single conservative, like, not every, but, you know, 90%, supporting police reform as it pertains to, like, George Floyd. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's, in my opinion, unheard of. | ||
| Ten years ago, there was the launch of Blue Lives Matter and, you know, Back the Blue and Defend the Police and stuff, which is still around today, for sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I was surprised that when George Floyd died, even Rush Limbaugh and Hannity, they came out and they were like, this is wrong, it's terrible. | ||
| And this is a cultural leftward push. | ||
| A lot of people said, what does that mean? | ||
| How does that left? | ||
| There's economic left and there's the cultural left. | ||
| There's the economic right and the cultural right. | ||
| The important thing that everyone needs to know Like, when it comes to any political faction, be it far-right, I'm doing air quotes, or far-left, they're all economically left. | ||
| All of them. | ||
| The only economically right, meaning laissez-faire capitalism, is Libertarians and ANCAPs. | ||
| But even among what the press calls far-right, is actually economically far-left. | ||
| Advocating for universal healthcare, government programs, just for, you know, their people. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Nothing seems to make sense at this point anyway, so I don't even know what the point is. | ||

| Well, I bring you now to the most important thread we have for the day. | ||

Oh. | |
| Oh, man. | ||
| My friends. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Everything is racist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| I bring you Titania McGrath, the foremost expert on intersectionalism. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| For those that aren't familiar, I'm just going to be honest with you. | ||
| Titania McGrath is not, in fact, a real person. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Or a woman. | ||
| Titanium McGrath is a parody account mocking Wokeness run by Andrew Doyle, who is a brilliant comedian. | ||
| And he created Titanium McGrath to satire Wokeness. | ||
| Now, this thread actually is very important. | ||
| That's why I pulled it up. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| But Titania tweets, important thread, brave social justice activists such as myself are working tirelessly to expose all the racist elements within our society. | ||
| Sometimes it is difficult to keep up, so I thought it would be helpful to curate a comprehensive list. | ||
| Now the reason why this thread is so funny is that I understand it's Titania, it's a character, but I'm assuming Andrew Doyle is running this. | ||
| He put together a list of the most absurd and ridiculous claims of racism and compiled them to one place. | ||
| Oh goodness. | ||
| This is the future that I hope you are all ready for. | ||
| So this is actually satire based and showing truth. | ||
| Yes. | ||

| I did a segment on this earlier. | ||
| The army has an equity and inclusion agency. | ||
| And they sent out an email saying Make America Great Again was white supremacy and racist. | ||
| And there were complaints. | ||
| Why are you sending out this email that's political? | ||
| That's a violation of the Hatch Act. | ||
| And my response to this is, why is there an equity and inclusion agency in the U.S. | ||
| Armed Forces? | ||
| Because the religion has infected every facet. | ||
| Every layer, every level. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And here we go. | ||

| I'm just so done. | ||
| I wonder if they know that over in, well, it's no longer Chaz, but the Portland protesters that were asking for vegan stuff. | ||
| They were all white supremacists. | ||
| I guess so. | ||
| Dr. Seuss books are racist, new study says. | ||
| Should kids still read them? | ||
| I can't believe it, but 19 tweets. | ||
| Wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
19. | |
| So what is that, 76? | ||
| 76 stories where everything that could be racist is racist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| My friends. | ||
| Basically. | ||
| They were counterintuitive there. | ||
| They were saying things that were racist, but then doing the opposite was racist also. | ||
| White people speaking. | ||
| White people existing are racist. | ||
| If you exist and you're white, you're a racist. | ||
| Especially if you're a woman. | ||
| But that's goodness sakes. | ||
| That's what white fragility is about. | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| White fragility, the book, was number one on Amazon, and it says white people are racist, and if they deny it, that proves they're racist. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Therefore, the only thing you can say is yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because if you say no, it proves it. | |
| They call it a Kafka trap. | ||
| That's a trap? | ||
| That, yeah, that the claim is that denying that you're something proves you're something. | ||
| It's like, there's literally nothing you can do. | ||
| And that book was number one on Amazon. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And it's still in the top. | ||
| And there's like, there's Zoom meeting calls where people are like holding up their copy of White Fragility. | ||
| Yeah, I saw that. | ||
| And there's, and also White Rage. | ||
| Embarrassing. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And then there's a bunch of intersectionalism books that are on the top. | ||
| That's what I was saying. | ||
| I've seen more racist stuff in the past four months from all these people fighting, fighting racism. | ||
| It is insane how racist they all are. | ||
| They are making things racist that I had no idea. | ||
| As the only marginalized person here. | ||
| I am hereby decreeing that I have the authority, whenever you try to argue anything, I'm just going to accuse you of being either fragile or exhibiting white rage. | ||
| People are already worried about the relationship here. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| No? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Veganism is white supremacy. | ||
| Don't you point that finger at me. | ||
| That proves it. | ||
| Don't you point that minority finger. | ||
| That proves it, Adam. | ||
| You're a vegan, and that means you're a white supremacist. | ||
| Well, I guess if Vice said it, geez. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah. | |
| Well, I'm glad you're agreeing. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But don't you dare insult Vice. | ||
| I don't want to see that white rage in this room. | ||
| You respect Vice for what it is. | ||
| Oh, I do. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| There's literally a book called White Rage, and it's like the cover is being peeled, and it's like, you know, like behind the peel it says white rage. | ||
| And it's the same argument. | ||
| It's like, if someone comes to you and insults you and your family and you get angry, that proves you're racist. | ||
| Like, what? | ||
| People get mad about stuff all the time. | ||
| People forget that we're all humans. | ||
| Every human has anger. | ||
| Every human... It's so frustrating how they want to polarize and divide us. | ||
| It's like, I refuse. | ||
| I refuse. | ||
| No. | ||
| Everybody's human. | ||
| Everyone bleeds the same way. | ||
| Anyone could be an awesome person. | ||
| Anyone could be an a-hole. | ||
| Anyone. | ||
| Could be an a-hole. | ||
| Yeah, I didn't want to say the full... But you're insulting people. | ||
| Adam, I don't want that white rage in this room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh! | |
| No matter what you do, if it can ever be construed in any way as fitting their narrative, they will do that. | ||
| Have you ever seen me actually mad? | ||
| I don't think you have. | ||
| No, not to like 11, but maybe like 4. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| That white rage, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then the other thing is the fragility. | ||
| The reason why she chose to use the word fragility is because it's a word meant to make someone | ||
| angry. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| So, calling someone fragile is challenging their... so it actually is a very clever use | ||
| of the word. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It makes people feel like they're unsuited for survival. | ||
| It's a challenge to someone's mental state. | ||
| So people spend their whole lives developing a survival tactics techniques and ideas and | ||
| worldviews because it helped them survive. | ||
| Challenging that. | ||
| You know. | ||
| So if you present someone with evidence that would fracture their worldview you'll have a | ||
| mental breakdown. | ||
| And that's the point of using the word fragile, so that when you're having a debate with someone, you can call them fragile, which is offensive, like a direct attack on their ego. | ||
| All I have to say is the word vegan. | ||
| Hey, I'm vegan. | ||
| But I mean, I don't say that because I don't care if people know or not. | ||
| The point is, calling someone fragile is an attack on their ego, which most people could be triggered by. | ||
| Yeah, we have to, we have to teach, people need to teach their children how to not be so fragile. | ||
| Learn how to have a spine. | ||
| That's true though. | ||
| Thick skin. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like when some people tell me these things. | ||
| We gotta bring that back. | ||
| Like that guy was telling me I'd be first against the wall or whatever. | ||
| I'm just like, bro, your Facebook message isn't, I just don't, I don't even care. | ||
| I think it's funny actually. | ||
| I'm like, bro, you're like some scrawny dude in Chicago who works at like, you know, Grubhub or something. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like what do you think's going to happen if you show up at my house? | ||
| It's bringing back to what Marcellus Wiley said, everyone has the platform. | ||
| So now I'm playing off of it in my own view on it. | ||
| Everyone now, because the internet exists and we have this social media, Everyone always goes to I am the top most expert in the field of Your perspective and that is just people just ignore the rest of it you know because they're the expert in their field and and they have a platform to show it and Because anyone can see it the people that do see it and and prop them up are the people that agree with it So, of course, they think that they're right and that's that's an issue reform 230 | ||
| Reform section 230. | ||
| Allow everyone back in the debate. | ||
| Allow everyone into the debate. | ||
| Reform section 230. | ||
| That's huge. | ||
| Specifically. | ||
| That's huge. | ||
| We really need it. | ||
| To clarify, to make sure you all know. | ||
| Please, explain it all. | ||
| Section 230 means that Twitter, Facebook, and all these big websites are immune from libel prosecution for the things we say. | ||
| If I post on Twitter, you know, Adam Kregler is not a true, is not really vegan, I saw him eat a cheeseburger. | ||
| That's a lie. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Adam can't sue Twitter for being the platform on which it was published. | ||
| He has to sue me. | ||
| Section 230 guarantees that they are immune from these defamation suits and gives them the leeway to actually remove content they view as objectionable. | ||
| Initially, objectionable was meant to mean like if someone posted murder or porn or something. | ||
| But now, because objectionable has no real interpretation, they just say, I don't know. | ||
| If you say learn to code, that's objectionable. | ||
| Banned. | ||
| So what needs to happen is the language needs to be changed to say legal. | ||
| Objectionable should be changed to illegal. | ||
| That they are protected from libel lawsuits, defamation lawsuits, so long as in good faith they only remove content that is illegal. | ||
| There will still be false positives. | ||
| You will still get banned if they think you are making a death threat or something. | ||
| Right. | ||
| However, for the most part, you can say whatever dumb opinion you want about whatever group of people, whatever, you know, be it, I hate communists, or whatever, and they can't ban you for it. | ||
| Because then they would lose their protections. | ||
| And if they did ban you, then you'd file a claim, and then the government, like, then the feds would probably be like, you can't do this. | ||
| Now one of the problems too is they're trying to have it both ways. | ||
| So I'm pretty sure there's been several examples where they've already been in violation of | ||
| the law anyway. | ||
| And they try and argue that removing certain things was objectionable anyway when it like | ||
| by any sane definition it wasn't. | ||
| Learn to code. | ||
| Clearly the platforms are already in violation of section 230. | ||
| Hashtag learn to code is not objectionable. | ||
| So what gives them the ground to remove that? | ||
| I think the other part of it was harassing. | ||
| So, like, Section 230 needs to be totally reformed. | ||
| The only thing they can remove, illegal. | ||
| And that will change everything overnight. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And cancel participation trophies. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Just a little cherry on top. | ||
| Cancel culture will be over. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it will be. | |
| Cancel culture will be done with 230 reform. | ||
| Because you still might get fired and stuff. | ||
| But it will remove your banning from social media. | ||
| So that means a large portion of cancellation, which is getting people banned through flagging, brigading, and strikes, would be gone. | ||
| Outright. | ||
| That means if somebody had a big channel, Alex Jones. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Now, Alex Jones, they probably still could have banned, because what he said, he said something about grabbing your battle rifles, and they could argue incitement, and then you would have to go to court and argue that it wasn't, and a court would decide if it was or wasn't. | ||
| So, uh, Will Chamberlain of Human Events has argued that social media access should be a human right, and that if you ever get banned, you should be able to go to a court immediately and get an injunction to restore your accounts. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Section 230 reform, and then I defer to Will, who's the actual lawyer. | ||
| Yeah, I think it's huge. | ||
| We jump over to... The Super Chats! | ||
| But first... | ||

|
Oh wait, I meant... I needed my pillow! | |
| Smash that like button! | ||
| You had the pillow, you threw it! | ||
| I don't need the pillow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's just a pillow. | |
| It's the feeling, it's the emotion that really counts. | ||
| Do you need to understand the importance of smashing that like button? | ||
| Because it really does help the channel. | ||
| But also, you can subscribe, hit the notification bell, and you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Timcast. | ||
| You can follow at Adam Kregler, Instagram and Twitter, and Parler as well, all of us on Parler. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And of course, at Sour Patch Lids, L-Y-D-S. | ||
| I got a pretty brutal super chat right here. | ||
| Oh, brutal, huh? | ||
| Can you see it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you want to read it? | |
| I can't read it from here, but... Let's see. | ||
| Bloodlust Honor says, My girlfriend just dumped me over text. | ||
| Have the money I was gonna spend on our anniversary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
| Painful. | ||
| Sorry, dude. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| But thank you for the super chat. | ||
| You're better off. | ||
| Man, I'm sorry. | ||
| Have Tome says, as societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent too. | ||
| Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate. | ||
| Action. | ||
| You liberate a city by destroying it. | ||
| Words are to confuse, so that at election time, people will solemnly vote against their own interests. | ||
| Gore Vidal. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Do we have more on this? | ||
| We don't, okay. | ||
| And then MH says, enjoy your book I sent you, Adam. | ||
| Oh, wait, someone sent me a book? | ||
| They did, they sent you a book. | ||
| You guys open all the mail and don't tell me anything. | ||
| I didn't get it, sorry. | ||
| It's not here yet. | ||
| It may not be here yet. | ||
| I blame you guys. | ||
| Someone sent us a skateboard from 1971. | ||
| That's really cool. | ||
| Alright, let's see. | ||
| Where are we at? | ||
| Wait, hold on. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| For whoever just sent me a book. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| You better let me know when it comes. | ||
| Rene Villareal says, Tim and Adam, I recently left my job and moved back to my hometown to try and start my own business. | ||
| My dream is to bring engineering jobs here, and I'm now organized to help places hurt by roots find a good way to help. | ||
| Maybe there's a typo in there, I'm not sure. | ||
| Sounds awesome. | ||
| Really, that's awesome. | ||
| We need to boost our economy. | ||
| You know, small towns. | ||
| Burris says, not sure if it works this way, but what happens when the entire state of California becomes a Native American nation and the Dems lose 55 electoral votes? | ||
| Also, I sent you a message about firearms on Instagram. | ||
| I mean, think about it. | ||
| The ruling with Oklahoma is just the beginning. | ||
| Yeah, we didn't bring up that map that you were showing me earlier, which is like- I couldn't find it, yeah. | ||
| It was so good, but all of California is essentially- A Native American reservation. | ||
| A reservation that we took over. | ||
| Literally, from border to border. | ||
| The entire state of California could just be gone. | ||
| So let's say that with this ruling on Oklahoma, we see an escalation in lawsuits, and they build off one another using this logic. | ||
| It's interesting, though, because that means Washington, Oregon, and California, that's a ton of Democrat electoral votes and representatives, is gone. | ||
| Makes it all federal territory. | ||
| What is gonna be the United States? | ||
| So Wolfman says they didn't give away half of Oklahoma. | ||
| Land ownership hasn't changed. | ||
| This only expanded the portion of Oklahoma considered tribal land for purpose of legal prosecution against tribal members for crimes within that area. | ||
| And so, right, we brought this up and the argument is from Roberts and from the state is that this will open the door and go further than that, though the ruling itself is based upon whether the state has the right to prosecute certain individuals. | ||
| But the argument has been made, they wrote it down, I'm imagining someone's going to take that and say precedent, boom, here's the opinion, this is what they said, then shouldn't this be the case? | ||
| I'm willing to bet a ton of lawyers have just immediately launched a ton of lawsuits. | ||
| And we'll see which ones make it. | ||
| It'll take 20 years. | ||
| Yeah, we'll see what happens. | ||
| Saitama says, Tim, as a teacher in rural Alaska, which is Yupik land, my guess is OK will have a system like AK. | ||
| You'll have both tribal and state government. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| Do you know what that is? | ||
| I do not. | ||
| Is that fascism or something? | ||
| radical left, it seems like the US is fertile ground for the third position to make an appearance. | ||
| Thoughts? | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| You know what that is? | ||
| I do not. | ||
| Let me look it up. | ||
| Is that fascism or something? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Andrew says, Hey Tim and crew, take time to field strip, clean and lubricate your guns. | ||
| A well-oiled machine is a well-functioning machine. | ||
| Also, did you know they make perfume out of whale vomit? | ||
| It's called ambergris. | ||
| Also, well, I'm adding that. | ||
| Also, when is it socially acceptable to wear wood clogs? | ||
| Always! | ||
| Please. | ||
| It's always... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| What are clogs for? | ||
| Woah, woah, woah. | ||
| They're Dutch? | ||
| That's cultural appropriation? | ||
| Woah, woah, woah. | ||
| They're not just Dutch. | ||
| They're Swedish too. | ||
| Are they? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've worn them myself. | ||
| I'm part Dutch actually. | ||
| I actually want a pair. | ||
| There's this specific company that makes, they've been making clogs forever. | ||
| And they're actually crazy comfortable. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let me just say, I've worn them, like legitimate ones. | ||
| They're comfortable. | ||
| Yep, just throwing that out there. | ||
| She'll always wear them. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| In before clogs are racist. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, nkriz says, this is a fight for the soul of Western civilization. | ||
| Europe has lost. | ||
| Latin America never embraced its heritage. | ||
| The day the U.S. | ||
| loses, we will live under China's authoritarian boot. | ||
| The U.K. | ||
| defeated the Nazis. | ||
| When the end was nigh, the U.S. | ||
| must survive for the West to do so. | ||
| I think China is dramatically more powerful than anyone realizes. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| They've been engaging in subversive tactics to gain control for decades. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| We've given up our manufacturing base to foreign countries and we're about to sign the TPP before Trump came in. | ||
| Nearly 100% of our manufacturing is over there. | ||
| Is Trump enough to stop China or just to slow it down? | ||
| We need more people to wake up. | ||
| Red Bill, Red Bill, Red Bill, Red Bill, Red Bill, Red Bill. | ||
| It's not even about the idea... Wake up! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Get involved! | |
| Man, we need unity. | ||
| We need everyone to recognize the threat, but everyone's fighting each other. | ||
| And it's perfect. | ||
| China's an authoritarian government where everyone's forced to do whatever the state says. | ||
| Yeah, it's true. | ||
| I'm not confident, man. | ||
| Yeah, it's seeping in, man. | ||
| says US Navy six years. It's normal for military commands to have a diversity committee. Most | ||
| of the time they organize events such as Black History Month, MLK Day, but identitarian talking | ||
| points are occurring more often lately. Yeah, it's seeping in, man. | ||
| Yeah, it's changing. | ||
| Stick it over. | ||
| Uriel says, I've been trying to contact you for the last three days. | ||
| I was told to contact you by one of your employee about canceling them. | ||
| Ah, yes. | ||
| I expect you to stand by your word and give him and his co-worker a raise. | ||
| Well, you didn't tell me who you were trying to cancel, so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| And, which, him, him, do you identify as a man? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh, yeah. | |
| Oh. | ||
| Yeah, sorry. | ||
| So, I'm, I'm his co-worker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| I'm going to be giving a raise to him. | ||
| It'll be Tim. | ||
| It'll be Buku. | ||
| How dare you? | ||
| He peed in the corner! | ||
| He did! | ||
| So you admit it's not Bucko. | ||
| I'm gonna take the win. | ||
| Let's move on! | ||
| No, no, no, hold on. | ||
| This needs to be addressed. | ||
| His biblical name is Bucko. | ||
| So derogatory. | ||
| And I call him Buku. | ||
| No one calls him that. | ||
| Nobody calls me Timothy. | ||
| Sometimes. | ||
| Very rare. | ||
| Like when I'm getting yelled at. | ||
| No, I'm just like... Timothy! | ||
| Get in here and clean your room! | ||
| Timothy Daniel Poole! | ||
| Using all three names, oh no. | ||
| Only once. | ||
| Ever. | ||
| Kaj says, these people have kindled a hatred in my heart. | ||
| I often delve into a dark part of mind when left to myself. | ||
| I love this country and the freedom my ancestors fought for. | ||
| Now I pray when I didn't before. | ||
| See, that's what I'm talking about earlier. | ||
| They are trying to instill racism again. | ||
| That's all I see. | ||
| They're reactionaries. | ||
| They're just trying to convince everyone they're racist. | ||
| Racism is everywhere. | ||
| Reactionary is a reference to the people who try to resist progress and change. | ||
| Okay, and so what they do is a very clever tactic is to accuse your enemy that of which you do and that's you know I think that's one of the rules radicals, right? | ||
| Yeah accuse your enemy of what you are doing exactly that's what they do so they call say me a reactionary when in fact I'm proposing liberty and progress and Upholding the revolutionary changes what you need to understand is that before? 1964 Okay. | ||
| and even in most parts of the world today i did it arian ism is the is the | ||
| law of the land like most countries are | ||
| ethnically homogenous and so the united states passed a bunch of laws like the | ||
| civil rights act of nineteen sixty four yeah ruling loving the virginia and i | ||
| say these are great things we should continue to strive forward | ||
| what is the left doing Repealing. | ||
| The Democrats in California have repealed from their constitution, they voted to so far, it goes to the referendum in November. | ||
| Removing. | ||
| That is reactionary. | ||
| They're trying to resist the changes brought about. | ||
| No surprise, it's the Democrats. | ||
| I'm not surprised. | ||
| I'm not either. | ||
| They were the original reactionaries over in the Civil War. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And they're still today. | ||
| And they accuse you of being the reactionary. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Reactionary is a reference to the French Revolution. | ||
| Where pro-monarchy groups reacted to the revolution and fought back. | ||
| That's what it means. | ||
| But now it's typically just used to reference anybody who resists the revolution or whatever. | ||
| They're not engaging in a revolution. | ||
| They're trying to turn back the clock on freedom of speech. | ||
| Freedom of speech as we know it is relatively new. | ||
| It was a Supreme Court ruling that guaranteed these rights. | ||
| We used to have morality rules. | ||
| You weren't allowed to swear. | ||
| It was obscenity rules. | ||
| And then the Supreme Court made decisions about what you could and couldn't say, enshrining freedom of speech. | ||
| In the 1900s, you could not live in the same building with someone of a different race. | ||
| They are now proposing segregation. | ||
| These are not new things. | ||
| This isn't a new revolution. | ||
| They're turning the clock back. | ||
| They're leftist revolutionaries. | ||
| Reactionaries, I'm sorry. | ||
| Not revolutionaries. | ||
| Roger That Trucker says, coin toss bounds for your employees. | ||
| Smash that like button and spin the UAP. | ||
| Oh, he said UAP. | ||
| I'm gonna spin the UFO. | ||
| The Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| That's the official terminology now. | ||
| Yeah, but we know this is a UFO. | ||
| Well, technically, it's identified. | ||
| So it's an IFO. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's flying. | ||
| It's an object. | ||
| A flying disc. | ||

|
Yeah. | |
| Magnetic levitating disc. | ||
| Here we go, VillainMusicDude says, I question, when we demonize white supremacy and Nazi symbolism, that we for some reason can't recognize the same evils of communism. | ||
| I think we're in the period of normalization now of the subversive war, slowly but surely. | ||
| It's really weird that you can see people walking around with communist flags and like nobody cares. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's really, and not even communist, but Soviet. | ||
| During those protests I was at in Boston, there was a guy on the left side flying a Soviet flag, not the Communist flag. | ||
| And so the first thing I tried saying is, I was interviewing a DSA guy, he's like, no, no, nobody here is flying a Soviet flag. | ||
| And then when I pointed to it, he was like, oh, no, no, no, that's not ours, that's not ours. | ||
| And someone else was like, that's actually not even a Soviet flag, that's just like communism, you know? | ||
| Like it's ideology, it has nothing to do with the state. | ||
| And then I pointed at the stars, and they were like, oh. | ||
| No, that's the Soviet flag, dude. | ||
| And tell me again, why do you hate the Confederate flag? | ||
| Isn't it the same kind of thing? | ||
| Well, that was what was funny about it. | ||
| One side, you had a bunch of people and someone was flying a Confederate flag. | ||
| And on the other side, you had a bunch of people and they were flying a Soviet flag. | ||
| Just two different versions. | ||
| In the front of each group, what do you think the right was holding? | ||
| An American flag? | ||
| Shields. | ||
| Oh, shields. | ||
| And what do you think the left was holding? | ||
| Molotov cocktails? | ||
| Clubs. | ||
| And bars and baseball bats. | ||
| And Siths. | ||
| One side was saying, don't tread on me. | ||
| The other side was saying, we will tread. | ||
| Yep, that's a good point. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| The authoritarians and the libertarians, man. | ||
| The people who say, leave me alone, let me do my thing. | ||
| And the people who say, I'm going to mess you up. | ||
| Krista says, Republicans should amend the 230 protections to force companies to become material witnesses in these canceling attempts for civil defamation cases. | ||
| Oh, I don't know about that. | ||
| That would probably just shut them down. | ||
| They'd get overrun with requests they couldn't actually handle. | ||
| Yeah, good point. | ||
| Silly Goose says, Flooding in China. | ||
| Three Gorges Dam. | ||
| Have y'all spoken about this? | ||
| Has it broken yet or something? | ||
| I know that it's... They were saying that it's looking like it could break. | ||
| There's fissures, you know, cracks. | ||
| Granted, I haven't looked into it in a few days, so... No idea. | ||
| I mean, it could have broken. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Look at this, look at this. | ||
| Rinsler says, historically Democrats were for segregation. | ||
| Democrats now are for segregation. | ||
| Explain to me how the parties switched. | ||
| They didn't. | ||
| They just convinced more people to be on board with them under the guise of being progressive. | ||
| Being woke. | ||
| Socialism says, Tim, look at the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendment. | ||
| It was put into place for situations like this. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Image says, what state you moving to? | ||
| Should go to Iowa. | ||
| You make plenty of Dubuque references. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do I? | |
| I've been there before though, but not going to Iowa. | ||
| And we're not going to ever say where we go. | ||
| No one will ever know where we are. | ||
| No one will know. | ||
| It's because we're actually going to a gigantic underground bunker run by lizard people. | ||
| Oh, I thought we were going to space. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no, no. | |
| Oh, we changed our minds. | ||
| No, no, no, no, you got it confused. | ||
| The underground bunker can launch into space. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| If need be. | ||
| That's where I was confused. | ||
| When the meteor comes to destroy the Earth. | ||
| Oh, I mean, we're moving to New Hampshire. | ||
| Everything will be fine. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| New Hampshire. | ||
| Maine. | ||
| New Hampshire. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maine. | |
| Rhode Island. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Not Massachusetts. | ||
| No lizard people. | ||
| Alternative said, did you watch Andrew Schultz on Sean King and Jesus? | ||
| As a Christian, it's hilarious and pretty spot on. | ||
| He even called King Snow J Simpson. | ||
| Dude, it was amazing. | ||
| To his face? | ||
| I haven't seen that. | ||
| Andrew Schultz is amazing. | ||
| His bitch arse. | ||
| He called him to his face? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He did a segment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| He was just talking about him? | ||
| He talked about Sean King and he probably had like 25 derogatory references. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
| Yeah, I guess so. | ||
| Yeah, he's better than that. | ||
| I don't get it. Who likes Sean King? The activists don't like him. They're always ragging on him. | ||
| Yeah, I guess so. | ||
| They always rag on him. Like for like mishandling funds and stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know, man. | ||
| Mavis says, So if the term master is racist, does that make the master | ||
| from Doctor Who racist? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Jake Johnson says, Super conservative Texan here. | ||
| Strongly disagree on a handful of things, but you guys are rational, honest people, so I watch you almost every video. | ||
| Really appreciate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you very much. | ||
| That's all that we ask. | ||
| You know, you know, I think the thing is, too, you know, it's made this all really easy for, like, the crossover between liberals and conservatives right now, like real ones. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is that we're not talking about the wedge issues anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It used to be like, what's your stance on abortion? | ||
| That was like the thing. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Gay marriage, LGBT rights, like those are kind of not really big deals. | ||
| The trans stuff, for sure, there's a clear delineation between left and right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But when you have like, Joe Rogan is not conservative in any respect. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I guess on guns maybe? | ||
| But he's challenged this stuff. | ||
| He's talked about it all the time because he's an MMA commentator and he brings it up. | ||
| So this is not even a clearly delineated policy debate on trans issues in sports. | ||
| The only thing we're really talking about is fundamental rights at this point. | ||
| And most Americans like their right to speak. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They don't want to be fired for saying wrong words. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| But how many of them have no idea what's going on and will just vote not in their own interests because Joe Biden is not a Trump? | ||
| We gotta not let people convince that we've lost. | ||
| I won't do it. | ||
| I'm gonna speak up. | ||
| I'm speaking louder than I've ever had before. | ||
| Facebook, people know who I am. | ||
| Republicans have to sweep. | ||
| I think they are. | ||
| I think they're going to. | ||
| I think people across the country are waking up and are seeing what's going on to this country and it is being torn apart, torn down, lied to. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| If the Republicans win the Senate and the House, but lose the presidency, which would be kind of unheard of, then they'll try and pass 230 reform, and Biden will say no. | ||
| True. | ||
| If they don't win the House or the Senate, then they will not be able to pass 230 reform, and Trump can say, please, all he wants. | ||
| He can't do anything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's no executive order he can do to actually make that happen, unless it's an act of Congress to do something. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So they need every branch, every single one. | ||
| Otherwise, these lawsuits will take decades if they want to make it to the Supreme Court. | ||
| So by then, conservatives won't exist. | ||
| I talked to you about how the wheel rotates, right? | ||
| How far right gets banned, and then right becomes far right, and then center becomes right, and then left becomes center. | ||
| They keep rotating the wheel. | ||
| So you look at how, like the Don Lemon thing is the best example. | ||
| Don Lemon going on a rant talking about, you know, that Bill O'Reilly wasn't going hard enough on the black community. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that was, like back then, Don Lemon has shifted very, very far to the left now. | ||
| Very, very far. | ||
| And you look at what Bill O'Reilly said. | ||
| If Tucker Carlson said what Don Lemon said, they'd be like off with his head. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Tucker Carlson is like a moderate and they're calling him a far-right white nationalist and all these awful things because they're preparing to ban him. | ||
| They're trying to cut his advertisers and get him shut down. | ||
| They're calling me a liberal conservative, and then in two to three years, they'll be calling me far-right. | ||
| And so they're spinning the wheel all the way... There's a couple memes that are going around, they're hilarious, where it's got Bernie Sanders in the center, and they're like, Bernie Sanders is a centrist. | ||
| They're really trying to push this, and they say, you're just confused, America, because so many of your politicians are far-right that you don't realize that Bernie Sanders, an avowed socialist, is actually just a centrist. | ||
| Bernie Sanders has proposed that 20% of corporate stocks be owned by the people. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Like, that's not centrist at all, dude. | ||
| No. | ||
| That's fairly far left. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Uh, socialist. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Let's see here. | ||
| Johansson says, just waiting on Texas to say we've had enough and just walk away. | ||
| After all, this is no longer the same country that it had originally been a part of. | ||
| Or any state. | ||
| I mean, what happens then? | ||
| Like, what happens if this jurisdictional order from the Supreme Court, what happens if the state of Oklahoma says no? | ||
| We're not going to give up our jurisdiction in this area. | ||
| In fact, we want more. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I don't know much about, you know, that specific part of the law. | ||
| It's not about law. | ||
| It's about them saying we don't care about the law. | ||
| What happens if the governor of Oklahoma says, nope. | ||
| Good point. | ||
| Bye-bye. | ||
| Send in the troops. | ||
| National Guards called in. | ||
| We don't care about your ruling, SCOTUS. | ||
| This is our state and we will not cede jurisdiction. | ||
| What happens? | ||
| Will the Feds send in soldiers? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| The Feds will send in DHS to go quell the uprising in Oklahoma. | ||
| Then many other states panic and say, that ruling negatively impacts us because now we're going to cede territory to past Native tribes as well. | ||
| So they join Oklahoma, forming hard lines. | ||
| And then the catalyst for the second Civil War is Native American rights. | ||
| And then when the Union wins... No, no, no. | ||
| Get it right. | ||
| The catalyst for all of this is a rapist Raping a four-year-old. | ||
| That's why they ruled. | ||
| That's what this is about. | ||
| And that blows my mind. | ||
| They said, yep, this guy's right. | ||
| His convictions should be overturned? | ||
| Yeah, it's disgusting. | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| But the scenario is, ten other states have said they're at risk over this. | ||
| So now we start having debates over whether or not to give back Native American land, and many of these states say no, and then threaten to secede from the Union because they will lose control of their entire state. | ||
| This is a real conflict that, you know, I'm not saying it's likely, but the seeds are there that are very similar to the previous Civil War states being like, I'm not going to give the federal government the right for us to lose jurisdiction on our own state. | ||
| The states declared sovereignty along like like ten years ago or something | ||
| Okay And all that really means is they were asserting that they | ||
| have the rights Unto themselves to enforce their laws to to function as | ||
| they as they see fit. It is the United States of America Right each state has become united | ||
| The reason Trump can't move in with all this unrest is because of the way the Constitution works, particularly the Tenth Amendment, that the rights that are not, you know, part of the Constitution or whatever are kept to the states. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So now SCOTUS is trying to tell straight-up Oklahoma Not! | ||
| It's not necessarily about the reservation. | ||
| It's that the reservation is federal, under federal jurisdiction. | ||
| So Oklahoma is cleaved in half in a certain respect, that it used to be Oklahoma controlling this. | ||
| Now it's half Native American reservation, which then answers to the federal government, which is almost like another state, essentially. | ||
| So Oklahoma says no. | ||
| And then they say, F you. | ||
| And then they send in the National Guard to lock down the area saying, we're not giving in. | ||
| We won't do it. | ||
| We won't let the federal government come and tell us half our state is gone. | ||
| Or, you know, in terms of these criminal prosecutions. | ||
| Or what happens if in five years, the arguments have escalated to the point where everything is falling apart. | ||
| Taxes. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it just happened today, right? | ||
| So, I mean, the implications of all this is going to be a cascade effect. | ||
| They say it won't affect property rights and stuff like that. | ||
| But I imagine it won't. | ||
| They're saying? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because it's supposed to be about criminal law, but how does that affect taxes if someone doesn't pay? | ||
| There's a crime there, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| So what's going to happen? | ||
| So they don't have to pay state taxes then? | ||
| Well, those changes aren't happening now, but what I imagine is someone will make an argument, and there'll be a lawsuit, and they'll say, if this has historically been Native American territory, then why am I paying taxes to the state of Oklahoma? | ||
| I should be paying taxes to the Native American tribe. | ||
| And what'll happen is then you get the, what's the name of the tribe, Muskogee? | ||
| Is that it? | ||
| I think that's right. | ||
| They'll say, Oklahoma state taxes, X percent, we'll do X minus one. | ||
| And then everyone says, yep, yep, I'm here. | ||
| I'm part of this, not them. | ||
| I have no idea what's going to happen. | ||
| that are facing the same lawsuits. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Make that move. | ||
| I have no idea what's going to happen. | ||
| Well I don't really. | ||
| We'll see man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Someone's Jackson says don't forget tribal membership isn't based on blood. | ||
| You can be made a member arbitrarily. | ||
| You think say Jeff Bezos can't buy membership or anyone else who wants to be above local | ||
| law. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So my grandfather actually worked with Native Americans and they found oil in some places | ||
| and they they actually brought him in and gave him an honorary title. | ||
| I'm not going to say it, but does that mean I'm part of that? | ||
| I'm pretty sure a lot of these tribes offer up tribal citizenship to anyone who asks under certain conditions. | ||
| Was it a travel through was it their nation? | ||
| So I guess well, I mean, it's I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure a lot of these tribes offer up | ||
| Tribal citizenship to anyone who asks under certain conditions | ||
| Because they want revenue they want tax they want industry. | ||
| Yeah Yeah | ||
| But I could be wrong about it's not something I've researched but I read somewhere that like you could | ||
| pronounce your u.s Citizenship to become a tribal citizen or something which | ||
| you're still under federal jurisdiction or whatever. So it's kind of now | ||
| I'm proud to be an American. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Dark says, Tim, why aren't you on Parler? | ||
| I have my assumptions, but will keep them to myself to not force a no-out situation from the question. | ||
| I am on Parler. | ||
| I'm literally on Parler at Tim Kist. | ||
| We all are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Finish the super chat. | ||
| He says, Adam, glad you're on there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We're all on there. | ||
| We are all on there. | ||
| I just wanted you to read it. | ||
| But there's one more important thing that must be said. | ||
| Smash that like button. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Smash it. | |
| I was going to say subscribe. | ||
| More important, smash the like button. | ||
| You may finish speaking, Tim. | ||
| Maximum Weeb says, I'm Raj M, Indian immigrant refugee from New Jersey to Texas. | ||
| After an incredible Mount Rushmore speech, highly recommend you watch I'm Definitely Voting for Donald Trump but Libertarian All Down Ballot. | ||
| The wild card here is Kanye West, for sure. | ||
| Yo, we watched it. | ||
| Dirty T says, it does affect property rights. | ||
| Every property owner just lost ownership of their land it belonged to the tribe. | ||
| Most reservations run a socialist type of government. | ||
| So they say it doesn't, and they're going to cooperate, but the point I'm making, especially when you look at the arguments by the state, is it will. | ||
| Because the court said, listen, the court goes, this is only about federal crimes, that's the ruling we're doing, but it is true That this is a reservation and always has been. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boom! | |
| They're setting that precedent for all the cascade effect for many different things. | ||
| Now what happens is that the tribal leaders will start going business as business. | ||
| They'll send out letters saying, you owe the tribe X in taxes. | ||
| They can, what are the, what is it? | ||
| They don't, they don't know. | ||
| They'll decide. | ||
| Probably whatever they want. | ||
| And then the people are going to be like, do I have to pay this? | ||
| And then tribal authorities can show up to your business and be like, lawsuits will ensue. | ||
| And then the lawyers will say, look at what the Supreme Court has already ruled. | ||
| This is a reservation. | ||
| These people illegally settled on this land. | ||
| It was their choice. | ||
| They could leave. | ||
| Therefore, they owe taxes. | ||
| If you were born in Chicago and then rent an apartment in Chicago, you can't go, well, I didn't choose to live here. | ||
| No, you got to pay your taxes. | ||
| So if the Supreme Court says, that's jurisdiction, then what's to stop this from opening the door? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Aaron says, Tim, this is a late one. | ||
| Sorry, but just saying, as a Michigander who is in Hong Kong, I feel like I'm literally jumping from a frying pan into a fire as I try to escape HK with my family. | ||
| Yikes, man. | ||
| Well, hope you make it out. | ||
| I think it would be great if the US brought in as many people from Hong Kong who are willing to come here. | ||
| And relocate. | ||
| I mean, they clearly love America. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| They had a bigger parade than one I've seen, I saw on July 4th. | ||
| There was so many people filling the streets, carrying American flags, being proud of America. | ||
| You know, you're welcome here. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| People want... Well, hopefully you get out safe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the bad news is, it is now beyond 10 o'clock. | ||
| And for the sake of my voice, we must go to bed. | ||
| Tim must go to bed. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Actually, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go in the kitchen and eat one of those frozen mango popsicles that we have. | ||
| Or three. | ||
| Or four. | ||
| Or three. | ||
| You both just chug them down. | ||
| They're amazing! | ||
| It's basically just pureed mango frozen into a bar. | ||
| Oh, I dare! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I dare! | |
| And there's a strawberry one. | ||
| So I'm gonna go sit back. | ||
| I'm gonna enjoy that and then go to bed. | ||
| But thanks for hanging out everybody. | ||

| The first official show. | ||
| I'm going to be deep diving into the idea of remakes versus remasters and what makes a game a good game. | ||
| And we're going to be basing this on Dark Souls. | ||
| So I'm going to really do a deep dive on what makes Dark Souls such a good game, and comparing it to other games that I've played in my life. | ||
| Ian's a gamer also, so if you're into games, that's going to be our first episode. | ||
| We were going to do a deep dive on Carl Sagan, but I don't know if I'm going to do a full two hours. | ||
| I think I might just do one subject per episode. | ||
| So this Saturday, 8pm, you can check me out. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. | ||
