| Right now there's a new birtherism, I guess, Conspiracy theory or something ridiculous. | ||
| And I think it's outright ridiculous. | ||
| But I'll tell you what's really ridiculous. | ||
| And as often, I'm always criticizing the media. | ||
| They're blaming Donald Trump because he was asked by a member of the press corps about Kamala Harris not being a citizen or something. | ||
| And he said, I don't know anything about it. | ||
| And that was it. | ||
| And now the left is going around, running around, running stories, claiming that Donald Trump is pushing this conspiracy. | ||
| There's no winning, is there? | ||
| Donald Trump gets asked a question and he goes, I'm sorry, what? | ||
| Oh, I heard that today. | ||
| I don't think about it. | ||
| And apparently that's that's enough. | ||
| How's it going, everybody? | ||
| Before we get into all the news, I want to mention there is an independent journalist. | ||
| I call whatever you want. | ||
| I don't I'm not super familiar with Millie Weaver, but I know many people are. | ||
| And this story has been getting, and is a viral video. | ||
| This is a woman who was producing a documentary, and the police showed up to her house, and my understanding so far is that her and her husband have been arrested on burglary charges. | ||
| They were indicted by a grand jury. | ||
| The reason this is causing, you know, it's spreading around online, I guess it's because she was about to release a documentary, and they're alleging something having to do with you know, secret documents or something. So I think a lot | ||
| of people are concerned that someone's trying to silence her. But I'll be completely | ||
| honest, I have—there's no news here. | ||
| In the—I mean, it's news that she's arrested. What I mean is there's no updates, we have no | ||
| information. All we know is right now there's a, you know, 50,000 or so tweets going around, | ||
| which should be trending. It's not trending. And it's about Millie Weaver being arrested. So | ||
| I'm not super familiar with who she is. But just so you know, you know, that's—I don't know, | ||
| I don't know, some people were asking about it. | ||
| But other than that, I'm hanging out with Lydia tonight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hello. | |
| It's our Patch Lids. | ||
| Yeah, we're chilling. | ||
| It's Friday. | ||
| Man, I gotta be honest with everybody. | ||
| It's been a crazy week. | ||
| And I'm all a bit tired. | ||
| I'm a bit tired. | ||
| YouTube's giving me the business about the audio bitrate, whatever that means. | ||
| We didn't change anything. | ||
| And we're going to be hanging out and talking about a bunch of stuff, and we're going to keep it chill. | ||
| It's a skateboarding story. | ||
| There's some funny circumstances pertaining to a bookstore that thought they were supporting diversity and inclusion, when in fact they were putting up a satirical book by Tectonia McGrath. | ||
| And so it's all very funny. | ||
| But we got some bigger news pertaining to just, I don't know, crazy election stuff. | ||
| The Kamala Harris birtherism, which is just... I don't know, man. | ||
| There's some famous lawyer, I guess, who wrote that Kamala Harris isn't really a citizen, or at least he entertained the possibility. | ||
| And now Newsweek, because this is published by the mainstream media, has put out multiple editorial notes saying, we're sorry, we didn't mean to stoke racist xenophobia, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| I don't know, they published this story, and it's... I think these things are a bit ridiculous, but it's a really... I mean, this guy who wrote this, he's qualified, right? | ||
| So we've got some updates in regards to this, and we'll also talk about... I know, I know. | ||
| Oh, doom and gloom. | ||
| But, uh, bread riots. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I found an article about it, so we're not the only ones thinking this. | ||
| Yeah, there's people writing about the possibility that food shortages will start hitting now. | ||
| And it feels like with the mass evictions, the potential for mass evictions, and just the general economic crisis, at a certain point, I'm wondering, you know, how much of this, like, why haven't we restarted the economy? | ||
| Why are we still, why are they arresting people? | ||
| And now you've got The Week, which has written, are bread riots coming? | ||
| I don't know about bread riots, but the riots we saw in Chicago, where people went around looting everything, Which I believe had nothing to do with food. | ||
| The Black Lives Matter activists came out and then later said, well, you know, they need to eat, so I don't care what they do, you know, it's reparations. | ||
| And we saw Ocasio-Cortez in the past say that the spike in murder in New York was about bread. | ||
| And so now people have made it a big joke that, you know, she's telling people they need bread and all that stuff. | ||
| But let's get started. | ||
| You know, I also, I have a skateboarding thing I want to talk about. | ||
| I got a bone to pick with Tony Hawk a little bit. | ||
| And I think it'll be fun, but we'll save it for towards the end of the show. | ||
| And we're just gonna hang out, we're gonna chill. | ||
| And we'll probably take some, you know, we got super chats going. | ||
| So if you have not already, feel free to hit the like button if you like the show. | ||
| It's entirely optional. | ||
| No, hit the like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell if you wanna hang out. | ||
| We do the show Monday through Friday, 8 p.m. | ||
| live. | ||
| And let's jump to the first story. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So this is from Newsweek. | ||
| Some questions. | ||
| Some questions for Kamala Harris about eligibility. | ||
| Opinion from John C. Eastman, professor of law, Chapman University, and senior fellow at the Claremont Institute. | ||
| This man seems... He seems knowledgeable. | ||
| Qualified? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So this guy's qualified. | ||
| What's his deal? | ||
| First of all, there's a massive editor's note. | ||
| Right at the top. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| This op-ed is being used by some as a tool to perpetuate racism and xenophobia. | ||
| We apologize. | ||
| The essay by John Eastman was intended to explore a minority legal argument about the definition of who is a natural born citizen in the United States. | ||
| But to many readers, the essay inevitably conveyed the ugly message that Senator Kamala Harris, a woman of color and the child of immigrants, was somehow not truly American. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Who said that? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I guess a bunch, they did. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They literally wrote this article. | ||
| And now we get, we get this. | ||
| This is what we get from the raw story. | ||
| Trump pushes racist birther conspiracy theory against Kamala Harris during White House briefing. | ||
| I saw this and I was, wow, could Donald Trump really be going in that direction again? | ||
| Because we talked about this the other day. | ||
| We've talked about it quite a bit. | ||
| I think Trump's actually, you know, he's been improving. | ||
| Yeah, he has. | ||
| His attitude. | ||
| He's gotten a lot nicer. | ||
| He's gotten a lot less insulting. | ||
| And that's why this kind of surprised me. | ||
| I was like, why is Trump choosing to push this right now? | ||
| Because that's not a really good look. | ||
| And he's got to know that, right? | ||
| He didn't push anything, in fact. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Well, let me show you the story and then we'll tell you what's really going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I'm not saying that. | ||
| Wow, what is this? | ||
| racist conspiracy theory against Senator Kamala Harris on Thursday. | ||
| Trump was asked by an unknown reporter if Harris was an anchor. | ||
| What? | ||
| I'm not saying that. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| This is not true. | ||
| That's the media you get. | ||
| Trump was asked by a reporter about the Newsweek article, and they used a disparaging term for somebody who was born to immigrant parents, who was ineligible to run for president. | ||
| The president praised the author of a Newsweek analysis that was widely slammed as racist birtherism, much like the racist birtherism Trump pushed against former President Barack Obama. | ||
| And here we go. | ||
| It's always Aaron Ruppar, isn't it? | ||
| Yeah, kind of. | ||
| Yeah, you have a bunch of these, like, Twitter leftists that... It's just lies, man. | ||
| I wonder at what point the lies are too much, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When does it push people to the breaking point? | ||
| I guess never because this guy's got 3.1k retweets and comments. | ||
| I just heard today that she doesn't meet the requirements. | ||
| I have no idea if it's right. | ||
| I'm actually going to play this for you so you guys can actually hear what really happened. | ||
| Hopefully it works. | ||
| I don't know, Twitter sometimes gives me the business. | ||
| Which it is now. | ||
| I am going to play this clip after it refreshes so you can hear what Trump actually said. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, the first one on domestic policy, third claim. | |
| Can't understand a word you're saying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There are claims circulating in social media that Kamala Harris is not eligible to be, to run for vice president because she was an anchor baby, I quote. | |
| Do you, or can you definitively say whether or not Kamala Harris is eligible, meets the legal requirements to run as vice president? | ||
| So I just heard that, I heard it today. | ||
| And that's about it. | ||
| I have no idea if it's right, but Trump is the one pushing it. | ||
| I'm just, I'm exhausted, you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a bit tired. | |
| So I kind of had a bone to pick with this lady's question, because it literally sounds to me like she was scrolling Facebook, and she saw a question that said something disparaging about Kamala Harris, and she's like, oh, you know what I bet I could do with this? | ||
| I bet I could get Trump on this. | ||
| She did actually say that phrase. | ||
| I didn't realize she said that, but it was muffled. | ||
| Yeah, it was very muffled. | ||
| Yeah, an unknown reporter. | ||
| They could have figured out who she was, but this is the reporting that we get today. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| It feels like it's just getting, I guess, crazier and crazier every day, and it's probably having to do with the fact that the election is getting closer and closer. | ||
| We saw that... Well, let me show you this, and some of you probably have already seen this, because I do talk about a lot of stuff earlier. | ||
| The New York Times published this, and I thought it was absolutely hilarious, but it's also kind of just mind-breaking at a certain point. | ||
| They actually called Donald Trump, they called it the Drumpf administration. | ||
| They actually put Drumpf in a New York Times article. | ||
| And it just says to me that I don't even know how to figure, like, look, when I do news stories, like the things I do all day, I'm using these sources to determine what's happening. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But if the New York Times is calling Trump Drumpf, if Raw Story is, I mean, look, these sources are like certified. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| NewsGuard gives it green checks. | ||
| I mean, it's an 80 out of 100 credibility. | ||
| What are their failings? | ||
| The failings of Raw Story, they don't handle the difference between news and opinion responsibly, and they don't label their advertising. | ||
| So I use NewsGuard because it's a check on my bias for all of my sources, for the stories that I use. | ||
| But if I have to go to these stories and they're going to tell me it's legit, and then I'm going to go to The Daily Wire, for instance, and they say that The Daily Wire is fake news, it gets a red exclamation point. | ||
| Yeah, because they disagree with them. | ||
| It doesn't even matter, but Media Matters gets a green checkmark. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, I think if you can't tell the difference between opinion and news, it's just, give him an X, just say it's an opinion site. | ||
| Just give him an opinion, give him a checkmark that says opinion commentary, period. | ||
| Because this is not real. | ||
| Trump didn't push anything, it's literally made up. | ||
| And his name isn't Drumpf, I'm just, at a certain point, You know, if I have to look at news, and I'm trying to make an assessment about, you know, what I can report to people every day when I do stories, and it's just, you know, I look at Vox, for instance, they're certified, I look at the New York Times, I look at all these sources, and I have to assume they're true, but then all that's really happening is that I'm assuming certain stories are true. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then I have to, what, find the stories that aren't true? | ||
| To be fair, they linked to the tweet from the video, and there's nothing in it. | ||
| But no one's ever gonna click that, because all you do is read the headline, right? | ||
| And that's all they do. | ||
| Sometimes you read the opinion, sometimes you're like, oh my gosh, this is exactly what I expected from him, and my confirmation, my bias has been confirmed, and I'm just gonna go with what I think. | ||
| So I had a question about the... | ||
| You turned red. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I don't know why. | ||
| I just noticed. | ||
| I'm not embarrassed or anything. | ||
| I promise. | ||
| I think it's just my white balance. | ||
| It's all good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| I had a question about the, um, the drum thing. | ||
| That is so strange to me. | ||
| Do you think it might've just been somebody trolling somebody who sneaked in when they weren't supposed to? | ||
| And they're like, this is actually going to be funny and put it in. | ||
| Cause they changed it back like immediately. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, it was up for a while. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But do you think it might have just been somebody trolling or somebody trying to cause trouble? | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| What do you think happened there? | ||
| But I hope that they're gonna get fired. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Unless they can't find out who did it. | ||
| Somebody, so they wrote this article and it said the Trump administration initially and then somebody went in and changed it to the Drumpf administration and I quickly archived it. | ||
| Yes, of course. | ||
| Because that's the, you know, goal. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| And then, you know, they changed it back. | ||
| But it just shows you that the people who work at these companies, their intention is not to report the news. | ||
| And so it creates this, like, actual predicament where if everything I'm supposed to be sourcing, what am I just choosing? | ||
| What I choose to believe? | ||
| And then I do stories, and we do stories, and we just assume, like, any of this is real. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah, how are we supposed to know now? | ||
| They could literally make it up, and they probably do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then what happens is you get people on the left who will choose a source, and they'll say it's legit, and they'll say this story is right. | ||
| And then when you get right-wing sources, like I think a really good example of what's broken about media, even with sources like NewsGuard, is that they'll say the Daily Wire, for instance, which is Ben Shapiro's outlet, is factually incorrect. | ||
| They give it a red exclamation point. | ||
| But what they do is they aggregate news and then provide conservative commentary on it for the most part. | ||
| Sometimes they do like a straight news piece. | ||
| Media Matters, for instance, literally just smears people. | ||
| That's like their whole thing. | ||
| And that gets a green check from NewsGuard. | ||
| Yeah, that's confirmed. | ||
| So I like NewsGuard, and I'm glad they do what they do, but I don't understand why they don't pay a little more attention to the actual sources. | ||
| What's interesting is there was recently... Wikipedia, I guess, now determines that Fox News is no longer a reliable source. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Why is that? | ||
| Um, because Fox News too often is out of line with the rest of news. | ||
| And this is something they note on, like, CNN's reliable sources, and they use that as an excuse to claim, if you're not walking in lockstep with the rest of the media, then you're fake news. | ||
| I wonder if Newsweek will acquire Wikipedia's marked disapproval after this. | ||
| No, probably not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No? | |
| You don't think so? | ||
| No, I mean they're desperately trying to clean this up. | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| Not only- Like a patchwork at this point. | ||
| They've published another op-ed, like they published another op-ed noting how it was a mistake. | ||
| They edited it to say, hey, check out this opinion piece where we're apologizing for writing a birtherism story, and then they actually go on to write another editorial note, which is basically apologizing once again. | ||
| And it's just like, you know, right now there is this crazy conspiracy theory going around going on on the left that I think perfectly exemplifies one of the big problems that we have. | ||
| It's they believe that mailboxes are being stolen by Trump supporters or by Trump himself. | ||
| That they're intentionally sending out trucks to snatch up mailboxes so that people can't mail and vote. | ||
| They're arguing that, you know, Jamie Lee Curtis tweeted that post office trucks literally being stolen by Trump supporters. | ||
| And the media never does anything about this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But I'll be banned on YouTube for talking about something, you know. | ||
| Yeah, certain things, absolutely. | ||
| I mean, Twitter literally just banned anybody who mentions the QAnon stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, OK, fine. | ||
| You know, Twitter is going to make this move. | ||
| But they allow any and everything far left and unhinged to just persist. | ||
| I remember when I started thinking about this. | ||
| I started thinking, I really hate all these conspiracy theories that come from the right. | ||
| And then I was like, wait, why don't any conspiracy theories come from the left? | ||
| And I was like, wait a second, every single one of them is mainstream. | ||
| Like, um, Rachel Maddow talking about how they're going to turn off the lights in Fargo in the winter. | ||
| Turn off the electricity. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And, um, Russiagate and all this other stuff. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, these things are commonly accepted. | ||
| And it doesn't, so it doesn't look like a conspiracy theory to them. | ||
| Everything that happens on the left that's a conspiracy theory is considered acceptable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Everything that happens on the right, whether it's proven or not, is a conspiracy theory. | ||
| Until it's proven true, in which case it's immediately forgotten. | ||
| This is my theorem. | ||
| I don't, why, how does the media have this power? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Who gave them this power? | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| Why do we trust them? | ||
| I mean, the question is, why is what we talk about being dictated to us by the likes of the New York Times? | ||
| I get it. | ||
| For a long time, they set the news cycle. | ||
| And I think there's an issue with conservatives too often chasing after the left. | ||
| Constantly. | ||
| I hate to see it. | ||
| And that's it? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We're constantly playing catch-up. | ||
| Even with the story of Canon Hinnant? | ||
| Finally we see CNN and other outlets start talking about it. | ||
| And now we're seeing a bunch of meme posts refuting it, arguing that it's racist to bring up the story. | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And conservatives are constantly playing catch up or chasing after the narrative that comes out from mainstream news. | ||
| So do you think it's because the news has started to like being the news? | ||
| Like Newsweek has just made a huge splash with this ridiculous article that they're trying to fix in real time. | ||
| Oh, they're panicking though. | ||
| Somebody's having a really bad day over there. | ||
| I think Josh Hammer, the opinion editor, is probably really struggling with this. | ||
| Well, I don't know if they think they're gonna get banned. | ||
| I think you need to hold up something that's white in front of your face because the camera broke. | ||
| Yeah, alright, let me try that. | ||
| No, I think it's something that conservatives need to figure out, I suppose. | ||
| Because I was reading an article once about how conservatives don't do news, they do commentary. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And because of that, they're constantly beholden to narratives from the left. | ||
| So the mainstream press will write something that's totally fake. | ||
| Conservatives will then chase after it. | ||
| And you'll get a big news cycle where the left and the right talk about it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And the left doesn't care when the conservatives correct them. | ||
| So, you know, basically, you've got the New York Times that... I wonder why they even bothered correcting the word drumpf. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What do they care? | ||
| They did it, and, you know, if they put out fake news, like with Covington, it took an extreme amount of energy to finally get all these outlets to actually correct, and when they started correcting, they didn't actually do an initial full correction. | ||
| Did they just stop talking about it? | ||
| When the Covington stuff happened, I'm like, I don't care about this. | ||
| For those that don't know, this is the story where the kids were standing on the Lincoln Memorial stairs and the Native American guy came up. | ||
| And I just ignored it because it didn't make sense to me. | ||
| I was like, I don't understand why this matters to everybody. | ||
| Yeah, nothing happened. | ||
| And then a bunch of people started pointing out, the Native American guy walked up to the kids. | ||
| So, once I saw that, then I started reporting on it. | ||
| I said it was fake news. | ||
| So this was like literally a day later. | ||
| I got a ton of views. | ||
| I got like half a million views on my video. | ||
| People were sharing it. | ||
| And there was also Robby Suave of Reason, right? | ||
| I believe so. | ||
| He was also saying like, hey, this narrative is not true. | ||
| And the media company's initial response was like they waited two days before finally coming out and saying, oh, it's a little different than we thought. | ||
| And then two days later, and two days later, and then finally they were like, it turns out new camera angles reveal. | ||
| How was it that these reporters knew less than random people on Twitter? | ||
| And how is it that they get away with, you know, running narrative all the time? | ||
| At what point do conservatives stop paying attention to what they're saying and then just roll with their own narratives? | ||
| And not even conservatives, but moderates or anybody else. | ||
| Well, what would that look like? | ||
| I mean, if the National Review or, you know, whatever published a story, and I think a lot of people, a lot of Trump supporters don't like the National Review, but they need to do their own journalism. | ||
| I mean, I think real clear politics is right-leaning. | ||
| They're probably not right-leaning, but they're more likely to give a right perspective on some op-eds. | ||
| Yeah, I think all sides gives them like a center balance, right? | ||
| Let me hold up this white thing and see if this works. | ||
| Yeah, I have no idea why. | ||
| It got really red. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| You need to hold it over your face. | ||
| The camera's broken. | ||
| I really am distracted. | ||
| I'm too exhausted, man. | ||
| No worries. | ||
| We'll be fine. | ||
| Yeah, you know what? | ||
| I think just in general, you've got all of this political stuff that's going on, and to be a little more personal, To deal with 16 hours of work per day, to deal with the frustrations of literally everything, and then, you know, we get the white balance breaks and a camera. | ||
| And I'm just like, dude, we are sitting, you know, a couple months away from this election. | ||
| Every day, the media is just another fake, just completely fake BS. | ||
| You know, the story about Kamala, Trump did it, whatever. | ||
| And now Hillary is... It is amusing to me how quickly... I'm almost reticent to show my face again because it's so red. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| We'll go with it. | ||
| Your face is red. | ||
| You get it. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I really like how quickly Newsweek is editing this now that people are giving them a hard time. | ||
| But it's the left. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| In comparison to the Covington thing where it was two days later and then two more days later and slowly the truth is kind of squeezed out of them. | ||
| This, because it goes contrary to the narrative, they're fixing it in real time. | ||
| It's kind of interesting to watch that dichotomy taking place. | ||
| I'm sick. | ||
| I'm sick of it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, it's like you look at any major brand, and you get some stupid left-wing narrative, and that's the only thing that's ever allowed to be pushed. | ||
| And the same is true on YouTube, and the same is true on Twitter and Facebook. | ||
| And the way I've described it before is, I think we talked about this the other day, if you're only allowed to talk about the left perspective, then the only direction you can go is to the left. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| And you just drive straight off the cliff. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Like a good example is COVID. | ||
| Our country is literally falling apart. | ||
| They're talking about bread riots. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm not even kidding. | ||
| We'll pull it up. | ||
| Yeah, look at that. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| Are bread riots coming to America? | ||
| Also, notice the ad at the top is a bunch of body armor. | ||
| Huh. | ||
| Are bread riots coming to America? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I don't know, but maybe. | ||
| But here, the issue I see is, the big problem I think it's affecting us right now is that we can't talk. | ||
| Literally, no one can talk about, say, hydroxychloroquine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you have Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale, MD, PhD, writing op-ed after op-ed about how he thinks it is helpful, about how we can use it to end this crisis. | ||
| You've got articles coming out about the low death rate, the deaths going down, but the only thing you're allowed to talk about is that it's getting worse, period. | ||
| Even though most people don't see it, You know, you look at the polling for Republicans. | ||
| They almost exclusively don't care about it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| At all. | ||
| Like the Sturgis motorbike rally. | ||
| They just show up. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| They're doing their thing. | ||
| But when you look to the left, they're screeching. | ||
| Like, why won't people wear masks? | ||
| They're terrified. | ||
| They want to give you oxytocin to make you more likely to wear your mask. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So what are we supposed to do? | ||
| You know, it's interesting. | ||
| I did a segment on masks because we had the Atlas Gym in New Jersey. | ||
| They actually revoked the business license. | ||
| The city did, right? | ||
| Yeah, it was the city. | ||
| And it was a Democratic council. | ||
| It was five to one. | ||
| What is this, you know? | ||
| If the media doesn't allow conversations like the Newsweek one, and they have to panic because they're terrified of this activist group of people, we're screwed, man. | ||
| I mean, I'm not even kidding. | ||
| We're talking about 30 to 40 million evictions, and if anyone steps out of line, even the president, It's just lie after lie after lie in the media. | ||
| The only thing you're allowed to do, I mean, I'll tell you what, if I came out and made a video where I pushed the most unhinged and insane far-left conspiracy about COVID saying it was worse and the end is coming and it's Trump's fault, I'd be fine. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| They wouldn't do anything negative. | ||
| I could read one article talking about hydroxychloroquine and then they shut it down, they ban you, and there have been YouTubers already banned. | ||
| It's so weird, this article, to me, because in it they talk about how desperate people are getting and how much they're struggling and how little money they have and what an issue it is for them to be stuck in, you know, COVID nightmare, COVID purgatory. | ||
| And their final solution is to say that they are in need of government help. | ||
| That's their ultimate sentence. | ||
| They're like, we just need help from people. | ||
| Like, we need help from the government. | ||
| The Republicans have to be willing to give people things. | ||
| And I'm like, Why don't we just reopen the economy? | ||
| Why don't we let people go to work? | ||
| You're not allowed to say that. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| And it's tiresome, man. | ||
| It is increasingly tiresome. | ||
| It is increasingly frustrating that, you know, the restrictions that are increasingly put in place. | ||
| I think things are getting better. | ||
| I mean, we just saw Crowder got reinstated into the partner program. | ||
| Yeah, that's great. | ||
| So hopefully, you know, it's not that bad and it's getting better. | ||
| But you look at what's going on in New York, and it feels like sometimes they're trying their hardest to help Trump win by destroying everything. | ||
| Yeah, and you kind of floated that theory before that they actually want Trump to win. | ||
| And I've kind of seen that with the media, where they get this huge bump from him. | ||
| So to me, that kind of makes sense that they would want to keep him in. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe that's it. | ||
| There was an article we had from Digiday talking about how all these news outlets are starting to panic. | ||
| What are they going to do once Trump is out of office? | ||
| Like, their revenue stream is gone. | ||
| Who are they going to talk about? | ||
| I mean, cable TV for sure. | ||
| I think everyone except Tucker Carlson and Hannity will just evaporate overnight. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Tucker and Hannity had record ratings for cable history. | ||
| That's weird to me, especially considering, I mean... No one even watches cable anymore, right? | ||
| But they do for them, I suppose. | ||
| And so I think if Trump were to lose, yeah, CNN's gone, MSNBC, whatever, all these channels are just gone. | ||
| Fox News would still be around, but their ratings would be a lot lower. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I wonder what it is that causes cable TV to do that well. | ||
| I understand it's Trump, but like why cable TV specifically? | ||
| I think it must just be older people, an older demographic. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| It's not true. | ||
| No? | ||
| It's not? | ||
| It's not. | ||
| What are the stats on it? | ||
| Tucker Carlson specifically is getting like 30-year-olds. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, 30-year-old dudes. | ||
| I did not know that. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's like the coveted demographic. | ||
| It is, yeah, he's nailing it. | ||
| And then we're actually seeing the key demo go up for these other channels as well. | ||
| I definitely think COVID has pushed people into a, you know, like, really politically active space. | ||
| Yeah, well it's definitely pushed them home and given them more free time. | ||
| It's given them free time to catch up on the news and I think probably more people are following current events than were before because they have time. | ||
| They're not at work anymore. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| Time to sit around and think. | ||
| Yeah, there's no sports. | ||
| Right, oh yeah. | ||
| And I'm seeing a lot of people get active on Twitter. | ||
| And that kind of sucks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because it's like, man, if only we could do something else. | ||
| But but yeah, it's it's you know, people are getting active on Twitter. | ||
| I'm seeing people I know from back home all of a sudden now are tweeting nonstop. | ||
| Turning up. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm like, these are people who don't normally talk about anything. | ||
| They're being activated. | ||
| They are being activated. | ||
| I think it's partly due to the Democrats' strategy. | ||
| They need a massive voter turnout. | ||
| They do, don't they? | ||
| Yeah, so, you know, look, I'm not one to push conspiracies, but I gotta say, when the governors of these states are arresting people for opening their businesses with no scientific justification, I'm like, are you really that dumb and evil? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That would be the simplest solution, wouldn't it? | ||
| They're dumb and evil? | ||
| Yeah, they're just dumb. | ||
| Maybe just dumb. | ||
| I guess we could give them the benefit of the doubt and just call them kind of dumb. | ||
| Why would I give them the benefit of the doubt? | ||
| Fair point. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I saw somebody posted earlier that Trump was evil. | ||
| Again, another one. | ||
| And I'm just thinking to myself, as time goes on, there used to be arguments that I would hear about Trump, and I'd be like, that's a good point. | ||
| He's an imperfect guy. | ||
| Now the only arguments they have are so unhinged. | ||
| I'm like, I don't remember the last time someone said something about Trump that was bad, that actually made a point, that made me consider Trump was bad. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that makes me think, you know, everything I've observed that I didn't really like about Trump, I observed for myself. | ||
| I did not need anyone else to tell me that Trump made a mistake, that he called someone a name, that he said the wrong thing in a press conference. | ||
| I saw that for myself. | ||
| So when I mean, maybe it's just because the media is breaking and we're all starting to pay attention. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like maybe, you know, I know it's it's true to say early on in, you know, Trump's in the 2015 cycle. | ||
| They were lying about what Trump was saying. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And then we had the Shinzo Abe thing. | ||
| So I've known there's been a lot of lies. | ||
| But there's been legit things like, you know, the easiest thing to call to is the Rosie O'Donnell thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what's crazy is that a lot of people don't know this. | ||
| There's that viral video of where Trump is doing the arm thing. | ||
| You know what I'm talking about? | ||
| Where he like shakes and he puts his arm up or whatever. | ||
| And he's like, duh, duh. | ||
| And the media ran this narrative that he was mocking a disabled journalist. | ||
| Like a certain journalist. | ||
| A specific guy who has... I'm like, was that a setup? | ||
| Did Trump... I don't understand. | ||
| Because apparently, I've seen the videos now, Trump does that to make fun of everybody. | ||
| Have you ever seen... I'm going to ask this seriously and I don't mean this in any kind of disrespect. | ||
| Have you ever seen a reporter who's had a developmental disability like that before? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I think it might have been a setup. | ||
| And that's a terrible thing to say. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| You don't think so? | ||
| No, because how are you going to? | ||
| I mean, I guess they could trick Trump. | ||
| They knew like Trump likes to do this. | ||
| But that's that's silly because you never know when Trump's going to act crazy or whatever. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| That would have required a little bit of forethought. | ||
| So I will rule that out completely because I don't think they have any forethought whatsoever. | ||
| I've never been more conspiratorial in my life than this whole year. | ||
| Because it's like things make literally no sense. | ||
| I can't remember who tweeted about this, but it was like a journalist. | ||
| It was a prominent journalist. | ||
| Oh, I think it was a guy who was used to with the New York Times. | ||
| The Sun Belt states never locked down. | ||
| They're doing fine. | ||
| South Dakota never locked down. | ||
| Their GDP is actually like slightly up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All of these other states are putting sick people in nursing homes or did. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they're shutting things down. | ||
| And for what? | ||
| Apparently for like some kind of gigantic virtue signal. | ||
| I really don't know because if you're putting sick people in nursing homes, what really are you going for? | ||
| To me, that feels like nothing but a virtue signal saying we're doing something and maybe not even the right thing. | ||
| That had to be some kind of, I don't know, man. | ||
| To me, that's like pure evil because I've worked in hospitals and nursing homes. | ||
| That is not a place where you take that kind of stuff lightly. | ||
| Like you put on PPE for everything that someone else might get. | ||
| You really wanted to make sure that your old people don't get sick. | ||
| They put people with COVID in nursing homes in multiple states. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And for what reason did they do this? | ||
| And now a large portion of those who died were in nursing homes. | ||
| Yeah, and old people are naturally immunocompromised at a certain point, especially people in nursing homes. | ||
| That is cruel. | ||
| That's really cruel. | ||
| There's no conspiracy theory. | ||
| It's literal. | ||
| No, it's happened, yeah. | ||
| They took people and put them in a place with the most COVID-vulnerable people possible. | ||
| And that accounted for a lot of the death. | ||
| Like, the people who are more likely to die from COVID are older people. | ||
| Of course, yeah. | ||
| So why would they do that? | ||
| And that's why, look, I've never been more conspiratorial. | ||
| I haven't either. | ||
| It's making me feel a little weird because I'm not naturally conspiratorial. | ||
| I tend to, I'm very skeptical. | ||
| I'm like, I don't believe, you know, I want to see for sure what's happening, but I'm watching them put sick people in with old people. | ||
| And I'm like, what is happening and why? | ||
| I hate it. | ||
| I really like old people. | ||
| And then you have to speculate because they can't be that stupid. | ||
| There's no way. | ||
| And I think Cuomo has even talked about it. | ||
| He blames Trump for it. | ||
| He's like, oh, Trump told us to do it or something like that. | ||
| Then why are all the states not doing it? | ||
| Because they're full of it. | ||
| They're lying. | ||
| Yeah, I have no answer. | ||
| All I can tell you is, man, it just feels intentional. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And then what about the riots? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| You know what I was thinking the other day? | ||
| They could have released that body cam footage as pretty much as soon as they had it. | ||
| Keith Ellison said no. | ||
| Why did Keith Ellison say no? | ||
| He literally said, I don't want to compromise a successful prosecution. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Huh. | |
| That's that's actually what his reason was. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| And now the body cam footage has come out from the George Floyd incident. | ||
| And we know this the initial the narrative they gave us was not true. | ||
| But I even read the report. | ||
| It's so it's so and man, I had someone criticizing me on Facebook, saying that I wouldn't talk about the police brutality. | ||
| And I'm like, I have and I cover this, like, every to every degree. | ||
| When when the George Floyd thing happened, I literally, you know, went step by step. | ||
| I remember that, yeah. | ||
| And I read one of the reports that said they pulled him out of the vehicle for some reason, and then pinned him down, and I was like, wow. | ||
| And I was like, that's it? | ||
| They pulled him out again? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They had him in the vehicle. | ||
| It turns out, he kicked his way out. | ||
| And he said, hold me on the ground, I'm claustrophobic, and all these things. | ||
| Three times, yeah. | ||
| And so I still think it was an unfortunate circumstance, and we don't want these things to happen. | ||
| But they held onto that body camera footage that would have proven all this and stopped all of it. | ||
| Yeah, and by the time they let it out, the riots were off and running. | ||
| Like, there was no stopping this. | ||
| And people are rioting for reasons of their own. | ||
| And it's taken on a life of its own. | ||
| Like, I don't even know what people are on about anymore. | ||
| You know what really bugs me? | ||
| I keep getting text messages from the same numbers for the same candidates, but from different people. | ||
| Like, they hand each other the phones and say, just try again. | ||
| That sounds like fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I got a text message, I think yesterday, and they were like, can we count on you to make a donation to, you know, this progressive whatever? | ||
| And I said straight up, I was like, absolutely not, because I'm tired of the riots and I'm tired of the lies. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like the riots have been going on and the media is acting like it's not happening. | ||
| What did they say? | ||
| I understand. Can I ask who you're supporting? | ||
| The only person who has said they will deal with the riots. | ||
| And like, and who is that? And I'm like, I hope you have a nice day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then today I get a text message from the same number. | ||
| It's a different name. | ||
| Hi, this is Jack. | ||
| Yesterday, you know, yesterday it's like, hi, it's Mike. | ||
| Now it's Jack or Sarah or whatever. | ||
| And we're hoping you contribute to the campaign of this person or whatever. | ||
| And I'm like, I told the person the exact same thing yesterday. | ||
| I was like, you know, they raised the bridges in Chicago and shut down the loop area. | ||
| They're like, shouldn't people know about what's going on? | ||
| They sure should. | ||
| I wonder why it is YouTube allows channels like this to exist. | ||
| Like ours? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What makes you wonder? | ||
| Like, because we're talking bad about the narrative and everything they've put forward. | ||
| I don't know, is it to feign there's some kind of objection? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| I think they have to pretend that they're mildly objective. | ||
| I don't think they see any way around that. | ||
| Because with so many different avenues of social media, there's going to be some way you can speak up and say something. | ||
| I think maybe it has to do with, like, yes, you know, they want to make it look like you have an objective platform. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think it has a lot to do with if there is no—you have controlled opposition, essentially. | ||
| Not that there's anyone at YouTube telling me what to say, but I do think it's rather interesting that certain channels seem to do okay, and certain channels don't, and certain channels get deleted. | ||
| And I think there's an acceptable opposition that these companies feel safe with. | ||
| I think it's mostly business-related, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was political as well. | ||
| Like, they're both interests that companies have. | ||
| And so it's basically like, one of the things I've talked about before is how they spin the wheel so that far-left becomes left, you know, right-wing becomes far-right, centrist becomes right-wing. | ||
| They want to shift everything over. | ||
| And so they're okay with like, you know, a liberal like me doing content that's, you know, talking, you know, against the Democrats because they want an acceptable opposition. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That almost sounds like an art of war strategy. | ||
| So if you, if you have opposition, do everything in your power to kind of contain them and control them to a level that you can, you can actually like keep track of what they're saying. | ||
| He's worried about my camera. | ||
| We'll see if we can fix it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That'd be great. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| Oh, it's just... It's frustrating. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I shouldn't hold that up. | ||
| We're chilling. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm exhausted, man. | ||
| To be completely honest, I'm super exhausted. | ||
| I work 16 hours a day, all day, every single day. | ||
| It was a long week. | ||
| It's a long week, man. | ||
| And it's rough, especially with, you know, just with the news and the riots. | ||
| And I think one of the big issues for me especially is that it's all the same every single day. | ||
| It does get a little repetitive. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And I've talked about it too. | ||
| It's like, I wake up and we just increment the number on the riots. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then you get the same garbage narrative, the peaceful protests. | ||
| The peaceful protests are, you know, at it again. | ||
| It's like, What am I going to do? | ||
| Am I going to wake up every day and be like, the same thing that happened yesterday happened today, but again? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because no one's doing anything about it? | ||
| For 90 days? | ||
| Man, I know a lot of people, you know, they say like, it's really important, you're fighting the fake news narrative and stuff like this. | ||
| I mean, some chick got arrested. | ||
| Millie Weaver. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know who she is. | ||
| And I don't, you know, I don't know what you got arrested for, but it's creepy stuff, man. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| See, it was a grand jury indictment, right? | ||
| So this is something they've been working on for a while. | ||
| Well, that's what they said on the camera. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Right. | ||
| Something they've been working on for a while. | ||
| Burglary charge. | ||
| So we don't know what she did. | ||
| We really don't know anything about it because people are asking me, too. | ||
| I just, I am the tomato lady tonight. | ||
| That's how it's going to be. | ||
| I'm sorry, guys. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| It's all good. | ||
| I'm just very badly sunburned. | ||
| I am very Irish, if you can tell. | ||
| Here, switch it back. | ||
| All right. | ||
| There's Tim. | ||
| He's fixing it. | ||
| I'm trying. | ||
| I'm trying to fix it. | ||
| Maybe we're going to fix it. | ||
| Thanks for bearing with us guys tonight is really fun fascinating. | ||
| Well, we're booking some guests. | ||
| Yes, we are. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I'm excited about that, too Yeah soon, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, we're gonna be talking to some people about how they left the left stuff like that I know yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's the same thing that That comes up all the time. | ||
| Yeah Yeah, but everyone has a different story, so I'm really interested to hear what this person has to say and what we can kind of figure out. | ||
| And maybe it's something that they've seen in their family and friends, too. | ||
| That would be encouraging. | ||
| I would be happy to hear that if people who are liberals or even leftists were like, I'm really tired of this nonsense. | ||
| You know, someone had a shop. | ||
| I knew them. | ||
| It got knocked down in these riots, and I think it's crazy, so I'm going to vote for a certain orange-skinned gentleman. | ||
| Well, you're red. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| I wonder if it has to do with this. | ||
| I feel kinship with Mr. Trump there. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe it's the UFO. | ||
| No, we got the lights on sometimes. | ||
| Let's see if it works. | ||
| No, you're still red. | ||
| But I'm happy. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| It's all good. | ||
| You're red. | ||
| Actually, maybe it was the UFO. | ||
| It could be because you're wearing a lot of blue or something. | ||
| Possibly. | ||
| Let's talk about something funny. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| And, uh, check this out. | ||
| This is amazing. | ||
| James Lindsay! | ||
| Was it Death Scar? | ||
| Conceptual James. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Tweeted, LOL woke at Andrew Doyle. | ||
| For those that aren't familiar, Andrew Doyle runs a parody Twitter account called Titanium McGrath. | ||
| And when I saw this tweet, it says, lol woke, and he's quoting Bronco Bookstore, who said, We've put together a section at the Bronco Bookstore of books that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusivity. | ||
| Check it out and get the conversation started. | ||
| All books are also available on our website. | ||
| Can I talk about this a little bit? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Because I feel like he kind of buried the lead a little bit on this one because this looks like a great display. | ||
| So if you click it and look at it, this is fantastic. | ||
| We can see Stacey Abrams. | ||
| We'll make the picture bigger. | ||
| Oh yeah, I can do that. | ||
| How to be an anti-racist by Ibram X. Kendi. | ||
| Wonderful instruction. | ||
| I'm just surprised, you know, white fragility isn't right here. | ||
| It's time to talk. | ||
| It's time to listen. | ||
| And this bookstore is so woke. | ||
| You want to know how woke they are, Tim? | ||
| Look at this book here in the right-hand corner. | ||
| It is a book that is literally called Woke. | ||
| And you guys know who it's by, right? | ||
| That is by our favorite blonde-haired bespectacled lady on Twitter, Ms. | ||
| Titania McGrath. | ||
| Titania. | ||
| My bad. | ||
| She's named after the nymph. | ||
| So this guy, Andrew Doyle, is a literature expert and he read a lot of Shakespeare. | ||
| And Titania, my gosh, is the queen of the fairies, so he picked her name, and he uses her to virtue signal loudly, and this is his book! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Woke! | |
| It's satire! | ||
| Andrew Doyle is the man! | ||
| The joke is, I guess the humorous moment, is that they created this display of actual woke books, it's time to talk and listen, lead from the outside Stacey Abrams, And they put a satirical anti-SJW book which mocks them to no end, and we get Jarvis DuPont. | ||
| Jarvis DuPont is also a fake SJW on Twitter. | ||
| How many followers does he have? | ||
| He's her boyfriend, I guess. | ||
| Is he? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He's got 126,000 followers. | ||
| He says, I use my white privilege as a raft to transport minorities from the cave of oppression to the island of equal prosperity. | ||
| Trans. | ||
| She-her. | ||
| Lesbian. | ||
| We're gonna get in trouble. | ||
| Jarvis says, yes, good to see Titania McGrath getting at least a small fraction of the recognition she deserves. | ||
| Although disappointing to not see her on the plinth. | ||
| Do better next time, Bronco Bookstore. | ||
| Let me show you what happens when you open Titania McGrath. | ||
| Titania's following no one. | ||
| And that's what you get. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Temporary restriction. | ||
| They really don't like the prominence of Andrew Doyle's satirical creation. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Check this out. Caution, this account is temporarily restricted. | ||
| Are we ready? | ||
| Let's view the profile. | ||
| So Titania's... | ||
| There she is. | ||
| She's so lovely with the glasses. | ||
| So, check this out. | ||
| You guys know Titania. | ||
| You probably know Titania. | ||
| We're gonna talk about Titania, I guess, for now, because I think it's hilarious this book is up there. | ||
| And there are some new jokes from Andrew Doyle. | ||
| Titania says, I have written a book for children. | ||
| It's called My First Little Book of Intersectional Activism. | ||
| The next generation must be taught to think exactly like me. | ||
| Pre-order immediately. | ||
| And Joseph Stalin is right there. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| So there's a bunch of names. | ||
| Brie Larson. | ||
| Where, really? | ||
| Down at the bottom left corner. | ||
| Oh yeah, Brie Larson. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| Greta Thunberg. | ||
| Joseph Stalin. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh. | |
| Linda Sarsour. | ||
| Jessica Yanni. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Just a who's who. | ||
| Yeah, somebody highlighted Joseph Stalin right there. | ||
| Joseph Stalin. | ||
| Oh, this is enjoyable. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Those are your intersectional activists. | ||
| And there was a, I'll show you a funny tweet from Titania. | ||
| Where is that one? | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Future generations will thank us if we successfully eliminate heterosexuality. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Preach. | ||
| Queen. | ||
| Wait, how does that work? | ||
| It doesn't. | ||
| That's exactly the point. | ||
| I know. | ||
| So anyway, you guys know, you probably have heard of Titania. | ||
| We've talked about Titania before. | ||
| We actually did this big thing where we went through a whole bunch of posts where Titania called out everything is racist. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So again, this is Andrew Doyle who runs the account. | ||
| It's a brilliant creation. | ||
| And he actually put together, through Titania of course, all of these articles about how literally everything is racist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, I'm not kidding. | ||
| He does satire, but these articles were real. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And depressing, because it was everything. | ||
| Right, so it's like not seeing color is racist, seeing color is racist. | ||
| Women are racist, apparently. | ||
| Women are? | ||
| Just in general. | ||
| Just in general. | ||
| They're all racist. | ||
| Yeah, you know, 3.5 billion people. | ||
| Racist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah, remember? | ||
| That was one of the articles on the list. | ||
| Just women are racist? | ||
| Yeah, women in general, I remember thinking. | ||
| I mean, well, they think everyone is racist, so if that's the case... Anyway, the reason why I'm showing you the absurdity of saying future generations won't exist... But that's what ends up getting propped up on... That's what they end up putting... Is this a joke? | ||
| No, I don't think it is. | ||
| One of those is especially helpful. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| This makes me feel better, a little bit, because things have been... what? | ||
| A little down. | ||
| But I really, really like, and I'm going to point out, I hope, so everyone else can enjoy this with me, is the title of Stacey Arum's book, which is Lead from the Outside. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oof. | |
| Which implies that she is not the governor of Georgia, which makes me very sad. | ||
| I thought she said she was. | ||
| I thought she was, too. | ||
| That was 2018. | ||
| She has not let go of the dream. | ||
| But apparently, based on the title of her book, she's not. | ||
| How could Biden and Kamala actually win? | ||
| Dude, I don't see it. | ||
| And here's why. | ||
| I was thinking, who in the world is less likable than Hillary Clinton? | ||
| And I can only think of one person. | ||
| You know who it was? | ||
| Kamala? | ||
| Yeah, it was Kamala Harris. | ||
| I was like, am I going to guess? | ||
| Yeah, you have to guess. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| When they called her name as the choice for Joe Biden, I was like, You know what? | ||
| I feel good. | ||
| I'm feeling good. | ||
| That made my day good. | ||
| Everybody was laughing. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| We did a video. | ||
| Everybody was laughing. | ||
| I did like four videos on it. | ||
| It was like everybody kind of knew he was going to do it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then it was all just like Twitter was it was it was a rainbow hand holding kumbaya kind of moment for everybody. | ||
| It was fantastic. | ||
| Everyone agreed. | ||
| Everyone agreed. | ||
| Literally everyone. | ||
| Everyone agreed. | ||
| It was like everyone agreeing about certain incidents in that one jail that one time not happening. | ||
| There was a really funny tweet. | ||
| I think the Reagan battalion said that the RNC newsletter talks about liberals or whatever, you know, ragging on Kamala. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it was like some Young Turks people and like Kyle Kalinsky and then like Michael Tracy. | ||
| And then a bunch of people started laughing, like, none of these people are like actual Democratic-based voters. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And Kyle Kalinske responded, he's a progressive commentator for those that don't know, wait till the Republicans see what I say about them. | ||
| I thought it was hilarious. | ||
| But it was it was funny because you actually created a unity moment. | ||
| You know, I think Kamala is really something special and I appreciate and respect her. | ||
| Hold on, what did you just call her? | ||
| Kamala. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I quickly corrected it there. | ||
| I have a hard time with her name. | ||
| You have to understand that pronouncing her name wrong, her name wrong is racism. | ||
| Not only racism, but sexism, because it shows you don't respect whamen. | ||
| Whamen? | ||
| What was I saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Well, it's because it's your fault for being a bigot. | ||
| My racism blinded me and I forgot what I was going to say. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Kamala is wonderful. | ||
| Did you see? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, wait, I remembered. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| What I really like about her is that she has found a way to be awful to every single demographic in different ways. | ||
| It's really, I really think that's what's going to bring us together as a country to vote against Joe Biden in November. | ||
| I think maybe they were like, what, what can we do to make the worst possible, like who are the worst people in the world like that we have right now? | ||
| Oh, I don't know. | ||
| No, they did. | ||
| They found it. | ||
| No, they did. | ||
| Kamala and Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| I think you're right. | ||
| Who are the worst possible candidates? | ||
| The least charismatic. | ||
| Everybody. | ||
| Joe Biden's fallen asleep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And Kamala is is cop-mala and she's a despotic lunatic. | ||
| Yeah, it's the issue isn't that she is a cop. | ||
| It's really not. | ||
| She's everything that's wrong with everything that they complain about, about police. | ||
| She has done it all. | ||
| She's really made corruption like her specialty. | ||
| I mean. | ||
| Well, it's like we were saying the other day, you can get non-policing and kind of overboard. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So I was making fun of Kamala and somebody tweeted at me that Tim is no longer tough on crime, pro-Trump or whatever. | ||
| And I was like, first of all, no. | ||
| Like, there's a difference between saying, yes, police, please arrest that man who is lighting that building on fire with people inside. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Or like, when the dude showed up in Tacoma with the rifle, throwing firebombs, it's like, please do not hurt these men who are staying outside this building. | ||
| And please, police, and, you know, help stop this man who's throwing firebombs and shooting at people. | ||
| There's a difference between that and Kamala Harris, who's like, I'm, you know, she's cackling about how homeless mothers are being locked up because their kids aren't going to school. | ||
| Yep, she's joking about smoking marijuana because of her background while people that she put in jail for marijuana offenses are literally languishing in jail if they're not fighting forest fires because she thought it would be a good investment to make them work for nothing and to lengthen their sentences. | ||
| Not nothing, like a dollar an hour. | ||
| A dollar an hour. | ||
| Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. | ||
| I repent. | ||
| I'm sorry, Lydia, I think you're wrong. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Yeah, I think you're wrong. | ||
| How so? | ||
| You said more unlikable than Hillary. | ||
| Ooh. | ||
| I think Hillary is- Are you challenging me on that? | ||
| I am, well, I guess if I had to make an assessment on the point system of unlikability- Okay, yeah, let's do it. | ||
| I think Hillary is way more unlikable than Kamala. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| What makes you say that? | ||
| It probably has more to do with the fact that we've seen more of Hillary. | ||
| Okay, yeah, so that's fair. | ||
| But, but, I think there was that comment that one time, that one time, they're talking about Julian Assange and Hillary was reported to have said, can't we just drone this guy? | ||
| And then I think their response was like, it was a joke. | ||
| No, it wasn't. | ||
| It's all they did during the Obama administration. | ||
| What was it? | ||
| We came, we saw he died. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Fantastic commentary. | ||
| That's just wonderful. | ||
| I like to imagine, like, Obama, he's got, like, his, he's got, he's, he's, like, in work attire, so he's got, like, a button-up shirt with his, his sleeves are rolled up. | ||
| Of course they are. | ||
| And he's, like, sitting on the couch with his feet up on the coffee table, and he's, like, texting. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| And then, like, Hillary's sitting, like, smoking a cigarette. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then Obama's just, like, oh, man, there's, like, some guy in the Middle East. | |
| And then Hillary's, like, I'll just drown him. | ||
| He's, like, all right. | ||
| Presses the button. | ||
| Just, like, that, that willy-nilly, just, like... Oops, it was a 16-year-old American. | ||
| Yep, doesn't bother them at all. | ||
| That was Obama. | ||
| Yeah, maybe you're right. | ||
| Maybe we just need to see more of Kamala. | ||
| My friends, I have really good news for all of you. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, I'm excited. | ||
| You look thrilled. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, what is it? | ||
| Do you know what the good news is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do. | |
| You do know what it is? | ||
| I think I do. | ||
| Hillary Clinton is back, baby! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| Speak of the devil! | ||
| Hillary Clinton is back! | ||
| She shall appear. | ||
| Hillary Clinton says she's ready to serve in a Biden administration, former Secretary of State, and defeated 2016 candidate, Hintz, at a return to D.C. | ||
| and wants to help fix the U.S. | ||
| Fix the U.S. | ||
| Thank you, Lord. | ||
| We need Hillary to help us fix the U.S. | ||
| Oh no! | ||
| We do. | ||
| We got that Cheeto dictator in office, man. | ||
| And Drumpf. | ||
| We got the great New York Times. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I got a source on that now. | ||
| Finally calling out Drumpf. | ||
| They got him. | ||
| Hillary Clinton is back. | ||
| He'll never recover. | ||
| Hillary Clinton says she's ready to serve in a Biden administration. | ||
| The former 2016 Democratic presidential candidate was speaking during the 19th Represents Summit when she made the remarks. | ||
| I am ready to help in any way and anyway and in any way I can because I think this will be a moment where every American, I don't care what party you are, I don't care what age, race, gender, I don't care. | ||
| Every American should want to fix our country, Clinton said. | ||
| So if you're asked to serve, you should certainly consider that. | ||
| Clinton served alongside Joe Biden in the Obama administration as Secretary of State. | ||
| Her tenure was highly criticized by Republicans who questioned her handling of the 2012 Benghazi terror attack. | ||
| I'm thrilled to welcome Kamala Harris to a historic—a historic? | ||
| You told me it was an historic. | ||
| I did, and they're wrong. | ||
| A historic Democratic ticket, Clinton tweeted Tuesday. | ||
| She tweeted wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Haha. | |
| She tweeted wrong. | ||
| She's already proven herself to be an incredible public servant and leader. | ||
| And I know she'll be a strong party to Joe Biden. | ||
| Please join me in having her back. | ||
| Blah, blah, blah. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| She announced. | ||
| Okay, listen. | ||
| I did a segment on my main channel talking about the potential for history repeating itself. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because they keep bringing up Mondale. | ||
| They did an article. | ||
| It was the New York Times, right? | ||
| Not sure. | ||
| It was, what's her name? | ||
| I can't remember the name of the woman who did this. | ||
| But she wrote about how it's been 36 years since a man had a woman on the ticket together or whatever. | ||
| And Hillary Clinton responded with like, I'm pretty sure Tim Kaine and I didn't hallucinate the 2016 cycle. | ||
| And I thought it was actually really funny that they screwed it up that bad because Hillary is a woman. | ||
| But anyway, they fixed it and they send it back to Mondale. | ||
| Because Walter Mondale had Geraldine Ferrero, I think I'm pronouncing her name right. | ||
| Yeah, something like that. | ||
| As his running mate. | ||
| And they're likening what's happening now, a bit, to that race. | ||
| That is an interesting race to compare to. | ||
| A 49 state landslide. | ||
| So anyway, anyway, I'm rehashing this specifically for a reason. | ||
| If there was anything that could guarantee, in my opinion, a 49 state landslide, anything, first, we have mass riots going on for like 76 days in Portland. | ||
| Check, yep, got that. | ||
| Get this, most of you, you may know this, I know there's a lot of people who, you'll come here, you will hear me say similar things I said on my earlier segments, but a lot of people come just for the live show, so I'll tell you straight up. | ||
| The state police in Oregon were dispatched Right. | ||
| And when they were, the federal police officers went back in the courthouse and stayed there. | ||
| And then all of a sudden the media started screaming, it's over, as soon as the feds | ||
| left, peace. | ||
| Even though it's not true, the riots continued, they went to residential neighborhoods. | ||
| The state police just announced they're pulling out because the prosecutors won't arrest anybody. | ||
| So now Trump gets to come out and laugh. | ||
| Told you so. | ||
| Because the violence did not stop. | ||
| And he's going to have to come back out again. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| You've got the violence in Chicago, they're locking down the city all this week. | ||
| Oh, they are? | ||
| All this week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I didn't realize that. | ||
| Yeah, and Michael Tracy, journalist, tweeted, don't you think people, like, need to know what's happening? | ||
| Where's the national reporters explaining why Chicago is doing this? | ||
| I couldn't imagine being in Chicago right now. | ||
| Donald Trump says New York is in play. | ||
| He says he's gonna try and win New York for the first time since Reagan. | ||
| That would be crazy. | ||
| For my lifetime, I was not alive when Reagan won, okay? | ||
| And then it's, you know, for the most of my life, we've had this pretty basic, you know, electoral pattern. | ||
| So anyway, to my point, you've got mass riots. | ||
| They're getting worse. | ||
| Trump was right about Portland. | ||
| And if Trump sent in the feds to Chicago, like the media lied and claimed he did, the looting would not have happened. | ||
| The feds would have been able to come out, but instead everything gets tore up. | ||
| New York is apocalyptic. | ||
| It's a ghost town. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| How many people have left now? | ||
| I think it was the blue thing behind me. | ||
| I think I fixed it. | ||
| You fixed it? | ||
| I'm not red anymore. | ||
| You're no longer red? | ||
| Yeah, I like it. | ||
| It was, right now they're saying 13,000 empty apartments. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's a record since like, I don't know, back in the 70s or something? | ||
| And companies are leaving? | ||
| Or like 54 or something. | ||
| Yeah, companies are leaving. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| So look. | ||
| And this is due to just general mismanagement. | ||
| But you've got politicians, these Democrats, actively supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. | ||
| Let me tell you something. | ||
| I was gonna make a joke. | ||
| And I'm gonna make the joke. | ||
| But then I'm going to be serious. | ||
| Hillary Clinton. | ||
| Added on top of the pile of economic collapse, mass riots, Kamala Harris and Biden, gaffes, despotism, and then they're like, we really need to make sure Trump landslides. | ||
| Let's throw Hillary Clinton on top. | ||
| That actually makes sense. | ||
| And now it's like, okay, that's it. | ||
| The avalanche started. | ||
| It reminds me almost of those videos where people will stack stuff on people while they're sleeping. | ||
| You ever see that? | ||
| Yeah, I've seen people do that with babies, I think. | ||
| It's like a bunch of blocks on them. | ||
| It's actually really funny and horrible to watch because they don't usually wake up. | ||
| They're completely still and silent. | ||
| Well, okay, babies. | ||
| Maybe a bit too far. | ||
| Babies are okay, but don't do it to cats. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| They'll be like a sleeping animal, and they'll put a cup on its head, and then they'll start stacking things. | ||
| So when they wake up, they'll do it to people. | ||
| That's what it feels like is going on. | ||
| The American people were sleeping and ignoring everything. | ||
| And then while they were ignoring everything, not voting, and people were stacking things on top of them, and then finally, COVID and the riots was like a Kramer door, you know, you've seen Seinfeld, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He like pops it open and slides in, he's like, oh! | ||
| And then that shock has that person sleeping covered in all this awful garbage, waking up and going, ah! | ||
| And then garbage flies everywhere. | ||
| That's what it feels like. | ||
| Regular Americans were sitting around. | ||
| They weren't paying attention to what was going on. | ||
| Everything started getting worse. | ||
| All this stuff was being stacked on top of them. | ||
| And then the riots, bam! | ||
| They wake up and they're like, whoa! | ||
| There's trash everywhere. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| You know what they're going to do with all that garbage that's piled up on them? | ||
| They are going to kick it clear across the room. | ||
| And I'm not convinced that's not what's going to happen in November. | ||
| I think it's going to be a blowout. | ||
| Well, I'll put it this way. | ||
| You've got this person finally wakes up and there's garbage everywhere. | ||
| And they see the people who are stacking the garbage are kicking and jumping around and stomping in garbage. | ||
| And they got one roommate who's basically like... | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| The other roommate's angry, saying, I'm gonna get somebody to come clean this up. | ||
| You guys knock it off! | ||
| And they're gonna be like, I'm with this guy. | ||
| Like, clean up the garbage, man. | ||
| Knock it off. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Whose idea was this? | ||
| They woke up. | ||
| So many people. | ||
| It's like we were talking about a moment ago. | ||
| People I know who are tweeting, who normally didn't. | ||
| They woke up. | ||
| They've been, like, activated. | ||
| And I can't imagine they're gonna go out and support Joe Biden. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| I don't think that Hillary's new hairstyle is personable enough for people to be like, you know what? | ||
| I forgive her. | ||
| I've forgotten everything she did that was wrong. | ||
| Look at this hair. | ||
| Like, seriously. | ||
| Look at this little mom guilt trip about doing what's right for your country. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| That's not going to work. | ||
| I'm having flashbacks to 2016 and I don't like it. | ||
| It's making me really unhappy. | ||
| I don't think she's going to do anything with him. | ||
| You don't think so? | ||
| No, I think she's desperate. | ||
| I think that her voice is toxic and I don't know if she doesn't realize it or if she needs like a new press whatever press person to like rest the phone from her grip because that's she shouldn't be talking right now. | ||
| Like Kamala Harris. | ||
| Do you think they're trying to make Kamala Harris look likable by bringing Hillary into the picture? | ||
| Oh yeah, it's like that Family Guy joke I brought up before. | ||
| Oh yeah? | ||
| Yeah, where the studio hires an ugly woman to stand next to Meg so that she looks better by relativity or whatever. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| By comparison. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| And then she pulls the ugly woman next to her. | ||
| The guy walks up and he goes, hey Meg, did you get less ugly? | ||
| She's like, yeah! | ||
| She pulls the girl. | ||
| Hey Kamala, did you get a little more likable next to Hillary Clinton? | ||
| You're standing next to Hillary Clinton, man. | ||
| That's right, man. | ||
| And that's an easy one. | ||
| So look, that's a joke, okay? | ||
| To be completely fair, it's a joke. | ||
| I don't think Hillary's gonna do anything, maybe. | ||
| But I'm gonna be serious now, because the joke I was making was that I said if there was one thing that would guarantee Trump a landslide, it would be them bringing on Hillary Clinton. | ||
| I don't think that's it. | ||
| I don't think we have it pulled up, but I was thinking about it, and I'm like, maybe I shouldn't make this joke, because the reality is, New York announced they wouldn't be doing the 9-11 memorial, the light show. | ||
| And it is... They're not going to do it because of COVID concerns. | ||
| My understanding is that another non-profit stepped up to make sure it happens. | ||
| Yeah, they're going to do it by any means necessary, they were saying. | ||
| They're like, this is not something that we're willing to put aside. | ||
| And I don't think they refer to, for example, the BLM mark in the street or anything, but they were very serious about it. | ||
| They're like, I think it was the SBA. | ||
| Some association of police officers and they were like, we're not going to let this slide, which I thought was great. | ||
| I'm really happy to see that. | ||
| Like I'm happy to see normal people saying this is something that's important and you're not just going to take it away from us. | ||
| Because if you're healthy enough to be raising cane in the streets and painting stuff on the streets, then why are you telling us that we can't do this? | ||
| You could literally just push the button. | ||
| Yeah, it looks like this. | ||
| It's a memorial for the Twin Towers. | ||
| And they're like, we can't do it because coronavirus. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Which is a lie. | ||
| A total lie. | ||
| Total lie. | ||
| Like, why? | ||
| What's their reasoning? | ||
| It's COVID. | ||
| They say it requires a large team to pull off, and it's a lie. | ||
| And the reason I say it's a lie is because they're marching with Black Lives Matter. | ||
| They're using city resources to paint the ground. | ||
| I gotta be honest. | ||
| This, in my opinion, is... If this story, you know, goes viral, I really don't think Biden and Harris could win. | ||
| I mean, first, Trump needs to address it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I wonder what Biden and Harris would actually say about it. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| Absolutely nothing. | ||
| They will not address this at all. | ||
| To be fair, Joe Biden said the Antifa people should be arrested, you know, and charged. | ||
| I will make a gentle person's bet with you. | ||
| Gentle person's? | ||
| You're so politically correct. | ||
| I am indeed. | ||
| A gentle person's bet, and you guys are welcome to take me up on this, that they will not say a single word about this. | ||
| But will Trump? | ||
| I think he will. | ||
| And it might be late. | ||
| It might be too late to do anything. | ||
| But I think he'll bring it up at some point. | ||
| Right now, there's... So, politically, the opportunity to address it is now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because apparently there's other groups that are going to step in and they're going to make sure it happens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But I gotta tell you this, man. | ||
| What do you think the average American's gonna be thinking when they see Bill de Blasio painting Black Lives Matter and then New York City saying, no 9-11 memorial? | ||
| It's obviously inconsistent. | ||
| I'm not saying Bill de Blasio is the one, you know, orchestrating the shutdown of the memorial. | ||
| What I'm saying is, you have a city where the mayor can defy the law with no permit, paint his political slogan in front of someone else's building, well, they're usually someone else's building, but in front of Trump's building, then have taxpayer resources fund the cops who are going to stand there, And we can't make the 9-11 memorial happen. | ||
| That's a horrifying indictment on our country and the people of New York. | ||
| But, that being said, of course people immediately stepped up to try and make sure this does happen. | ||
| Well, I don't know if it's still going to happen, but they're straight up saying, so for now it's not. | ||
| And I forgot what the other non-profit is, they said they're going to do whatever they have to to make it work right. | ||
| And you know, Bill de Blasio was talking about how Black Lives Matter transcends politics. | ||
| You want to talk about something that actually transcends politics? | ||
| Commemorating 9-11. | ||
| Because that affected everyone, it brought the whole country together, and it still is something that every single person in every single party should remember. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, this is not something to mess around with. | ||
| And I hope that people remember it, honestly. | ||
| Because that's something that we should... | ||
| It kind of feels like the country's falling apart, and if we could come together on something that would actually make us feel some kind of brotherhood with our neighbors, that'd be great. | ||
| It should. | ||
| Do you know the date of the Pearl Harbor bombings? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| December 7, 1944. | ||
| See, I don't remember the date. | ||
| Do you remember that date? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| It was a day that will live on in infamy. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And in Chicago, when you take the train, I think it's the Orange Line train. | ||
| from the south side into the loop. There was a building I always remember | ||
| that it had Pearl Harbor and 9-11 painted on it and it was like never forget and it showed | ||
| both. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know if it's still there. | ||
| Yeah, I'd be curious. | ||
| We should pull up Google Maps. | ||
| Well, it was a train line. | ||
| You might be able to. | ||
| But I remember seeing it. | ||
| And, you know, I didn't remember the date. | ||
| Obviously, I remember 9-11. | ||
| I was alive. | ||
| I was, you know, 14 or whatever, watching it happen. | ||
| And when it came to Pearl Harbor, I don't know. | ||
| Was it the 70s? | ||
| What's that? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| What was the date you said? | ||
| Okay, it was December 7th, 1944. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, so I think the reason I remember is because I used to work with old people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I would talk to people about what they were doing and I asked them what they were doing on the day that Pearl Harbor happened. | ||
| And some of them could tell me. | ||
| And that was really interesting because it was so different from 9-11. | ||
| But the emotion was definitely still there. | ||
| And I was like, so you guys weren't like sitting around the TV like we were, but you were listening to it on the radio, huh? | ||
| That's really interesting. | ||
| And this lady I was talking to, I don't know. | ||
| was like, yeah, it brought everyone together very similar to the way 9-11 did. And I think that they're, do they want | ||
| the division that we have in this country? Do they think this is good? Is this what they're trying to fight by | ||
| getting rid of the 9-11 memorial? I don't know. I'm just spitballing. I don't know. I'm just theorizing. But the | ||
| reason I brought it up and asked you if you knew the date. | ||
| Yeah, sorry about that. Yeah. I I have no idea why I said 70s. | ||
| I don't know what I was thinking. | ||
| A little off. | ||
| Very, very off. | ||
| Because you said 7th and I was like, wait, what did you say? | ||
| Did you say 70s? | ||
| No, that's clearly wrong. | ||
| I was thinking about, we're going to have a generation of young people that were either born after 9-11, which is a lot of people right now. | ||
| Yeah, a lot of them. | ||
| Like the TikTok generation. | ||
| Oh gosh. | ||
| And there's going to be a lot of people who were born at a certain point where they were too young to remember it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they're not going to remember it. | ||
| And so when that point hits, and I think in maybe 10 or 20 years, you will see the memorial lights get turned off one night. | ||
| And that's a night when people are going to be like, I don't know, whatever. | ||
| Right now it's not. | ||
| That makes me sad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, do we still do anything for Pearl Harbor? | ||
| Like in this regard? | ||
| No. | ||
| Maybe, maybe, maybe, you know, in Pearl Harbor. | ||
| You know, I think, I think politicians do. | ||
| And at Pearl Harbor, they actually do have memorial like tours and stuff. | ||
| I think they give speeches on Pearl Harbor Day. | ||
| Not that I can recall any of them immediately offhand. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But I think they do commemorate it at the kind of national level. | ||
| It's kind of crazy, you know? | ||
| Weird. | ||
| But I was reading this earlier, and I'm just... I'm just offended. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| There should be no circumstance where this story shouldn't need to be reported. | ||
| The city... I believe the city should be able... So, let me read the context real quick, just so I can, you know, properly explain what's going on. | ||
| The New York Post says, the iconic lower Manhattan 9-11 memorial display that features twin beams | ||
| of light to honor victims of the terror attacks will not shine this year over coronavirus | ||
| concerns, organizers said Thursday. | ||
| The annual Tribute in Light display requires a large crew to pull off, the 9-11 memorial | ||
| and museum said on its website, posing health risks this year that were far too great. | ||
| The museum said it was an incredibly difficult decision to nix the lights, but announced | ||
| an alternative citywide initiative to commemorate the 19th anniversary of September 11. | ||
| The new plan, dubbed the Tribute in Lights, will feature buildings across the city lighting | ||
| up their facades and spires in blue on 9-11. | ||
| In a spirit of unity and remembrance, the city will come together for a Tribute in Lights | ||
| to inspire the world and honor the promise to never forget. | ||
| Many iconic New York City buildings will be lighting their spires and facades in blue | ||
| to honor those killed on 9-11. | ||
| The decision to cancel the Tribute in Light memorial comes after the museum this year | ||
| also scrapped the in-person reading of 9-11 victims' names at the annual Ground Zero | ||
| ceremony. | ||
| But last week, a non-profit, the Tunnel to Towers Foundations, announced its own separate | ||
| Lower Manhattan ceremony where select family members of 9-11 victims will be permitted | ||
| to read the names of their loved ones. | ||
| I think we're in trouble. | ||
| It's scary to me that they will paint Black Lives Matter in the street and arrest anyone | ||
| who dare oppose them without permitting, and they will not read the names of 9-11 victims. | ||
| To me, it really feels like they're just pulling for division, and I hate to see that, but it's making me really suspicious. | ||
| What else would you call this? | ||
| Well, I know it's not the city that's deciding it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But don't you, like, isn't it fair to say that there's some kind of cultural problem we're having? | ||
| If there's no resources for this event, why couldn't Bill de Blasio, without permit, pull taxpayer funding to guarantee the reading of the 9-11 victims' names? | ||
| So it shows misprioritization for sure. | ||
| And it shows that people like Bill de Blasio just have way too much power, which I think we already knew. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But this is really... They're not supposed to have that power. | |
| Of course not. | ||
| The problem is the people who just go along with whatever they say. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What are you going to throw a fit and make something happen? | ||
| You know, how do you prevent something like that? | ||
| Because our system is, of course, naturally hierarchical. | ||
| And you have police. | ||
| They're like, I don't know, my boss had to go do this. | ||
| It's like, well, do you know what you're doing is illegal, right? | ||
| Doesn't matter, my boss had to do it. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I think I'm gonna sound like I'm beating a dead horse and I think you're probably gonna agree with me but I'll say it again. | ||
| I think that the reason we're having this problem is because it's been good for so long. | ||
| It's been too good for too long. | ||
| We've forgotten what it's like. | ||
| We assume that things are the way they are and that everyone's got our best interests at heart and we've forgotten that, you know, our great-great-grandparents were pioneers and that our grandparents fought in wars and That this is actually something special and different. | ||
| We don't travel that much. | ||
| We don't see other countries. | ||
| So we're like, all right. | ||
| So this creep, we don't pay any attention to it. | ||
| We just kowtow to whenever someone tells us you're going to do this. | ||
| It doesn't matter if it breaks constitutional law or whatever. | ||
| We're going to do it because that's the way things are. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| So what you're saying is the people of this country weren't sleeping while their roommates were stacking objects on top of them. | ||
| They were awake. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But stoned. | ||
| Yes, I think so. | ||
| that they were like and immediately all of the stoners are like how dare you | ||
| I'd push the dislike button if I didn't have to get up I'm kidding I'm kidding it's a joke | ||
| I think you're right though because sleep is something relatively involuntary | ||
| and being state being like drunk or stoned is something that | ||
| Yeah, undowners. | ||
| You're kind of sleepy. | ||
| You're out of it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| You're like, I feel good, man. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They're stacking stuff on top of me, but I don't care. | ||
| That's a problem for future me. | ||
| And then, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And then they're about to balance the gigantic wrench on top of your head, and you're like, oh man, that might fall. | ||
| And it does, and it hits your toe, and you're like... | ||
| You're freaking out. | ||
| And now it's finally so bad, but you didn't do enough before. | ||
| I don't think, I honestly, I don't know if there's like an actual way to solve that without some kind of different system. | ||
| I know a lot of people love to bring up Starship Troopers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Have you ever read Starship Troopers? | ||
| I haven't. | ||
| Or seen the movie? | ||
| No, I've only heard like little snips about it. | ||
| And it makes me want to read it and watch the movie. | ||
| We should watch the movie. | ||
| Movie night. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The movie is weird because apparently like the interpretation of the book in movie form, like turned everyone into Nazis. | ||
| Well, that's annoying. | ||
| Yeah, like Sargon did a thing about it, where he was basically like, the Society of Starship Troopers is supposed to be a liberal society. | ||
| I don't know, I'm not gonna pretend to know all the details, I'm sure Sargon knows way more about it than I do. | ||
| But the general idea is that service guarantees citizenship. | ||
| If you serve in any way for a couple years, you gain the right to vote and participate in public matters. | ||
| Civilians have full rights, but don't vote and don't run for office and stuff like that. | ||
| It was an interesting idea because it makes sure that only the people who actually are working to better That's interesting to me because, you know, when women got the right to vote, similar responsibilities were not required of them as were required of men. | ||
| And even then I saw that as being a problem. | ||
| Like, I think it's great. | ||
| I think everyone should have a say in what happens in the world. | ||
| I think women are important. | ||
| I think having families is important and doing whatever you want to do is absolutely, absolutely pivotal. | ||
| But if you're going to have rights, you should also have responsibilities. | ||
| Men still have the draft and then you got to have the responsibilities, man. | ||
| So I don't have anything pulled up, definitely fact check me on this one, but I was reading something about it that said one of the big arguments from women's groups against the right to vote was that they didn't want to join the fire brigade or do other public services. | ||
| I guess back then for men it was like volunteer fire service was mandatory or something? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Voluntary. | ||
| It was actually part of civic duty. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Part of civic duty. | ||
| And, you know, voting is obviously part of civic duty too. | ||
| That is interesting. | ||
| I remember some of that anti-feminist propaganda, which sounds terrible now, I know, but it's so interesting because you're like, what were these people actually thinking? | ||
| How could you possibly think that women don't deserve or don't need the right to vote? | ||
| And you read what they're saying and they're like, well, we think that it's important that women be at home and we don't women, we don't really want women to have the extra tasks of like, putting out fires should they come up it turns out women | ||
| aren't really all that great at that kind of stuff and | ||
| if you have a weak link in a fire chain you're gonna have a problem | ||
| so ultimately though the right to vote was granted without any | ||
| additional responsibility. You know what I need to figure out why that happened | ||
| but to be I don't I'm not in the fire brigade I don't put out fires | ||
| you know what I mean? Are you not in the draft? Oh well that's true | ||
| Yeah, that's the draft, man. | ||
| Yeah, and they recently ruled, I think, right? | ||
| Yeah, remember when the feminists were melting down thinking that they might have to just be housewives now because they might actually get equality. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The draft is dumb. | |
| I think the issue with the draft that people don't understand, or actually the problem with it was the exploitation of it. | ||
| People didn't know why we were going to Vietnam, or Korea, or these other countries. | ||
| I could only say I'm personally glad that the U.S. | ||
| was somewhat involved in Korea and is now extremely involved in Korea because South Korea is a free and amazing place. | ||
| Putting their weird racism aside is fine. | ||
| A lot of people didn't understand, and so they resisted, and they opposed it. | ||
| It's really interesting, because I was reading about the Weather Underground a little bit, and you're familiar with who they're? | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| Like 70s terrorists. | ||
| Yeah, they were like, what was their driving force? | ||
| Like anti-Vietnam War, I think. | ||
| I'm not going to pretend to know a whole lot about them. | ||
| Violent peaceniks. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| Makes perfect sense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That sounds horrible. | ||
| Blowing stuff up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| My understanding is a lot of what they did was shock and awe campaigns at like | ||
| really early in the morning. | ||
| I'm not going to pretend to know a lot about it. | ||
| That sounds horrible. | ||
| But what's interesting is that it emerged out of the out of the universities and | ||
| it was very, there's a lot of pro-communist sentiment among them. | ||
| Why out of the universities? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But what I find fascinating about it is that the U.S. | ||
| was engaging in these conflicts to stop communism, and communism was spreading, you know, with these extremists trying to end the Vietnam War, which would allow communism to spread. | ||
| You know, that's really interesting. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So much I have to learn about now. | ||
| I had never really thought about Weather Underground, so I'm going to need people to send me links about the Weather Underground and like maybe your parents were involved or something. | ||
| I think one of the guys who was involved in it, like Obama, had him at an event or something. | ||
| That does sound familiar. | ||
| Yeah, Bill, what's his name? | ||
| Bill Ayers. | ||
| Bill Ayers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know a lot about it. | ||
| I'm not gonna pretend to. | ||
| But I do find it interesting that we're now seeing this weird rise of Marxism and communism when the Cold War is over. | ||
| And it reminds me of that Simpsons joke, which you probably don't know, because it's like super early 90s. | ||
| But, like, the joke was that it flashes to the UN, and then Russia says something about, you know, missiles or something, and they're like, he says something like, USSR needs something or other, and they're like, wait a minute, Russia? | ||
| And then he starts laughing, and then he, like, hits a button, and then Russia turns back to the USSR, like, they're back! | ||
| The Cold War is back! | ||
| I don't know, it's been a long time since I've seen the joke, I'm probably butchering it, but it was something like that. | ||
| And so a lot of people have been saying, A lot of what we see in the U.S. | ||
| that's destabilizing us were the seeds planted by enemies, you know, during the Cold War that were supposed to take root in 20, 30, 40 years. | ||
| They're here. | ||
| That's really interesting because that's something that Andrew Breitbart used to talk about. | ||
| In his book, he wrote Righteous Indignation. | ||
| He talked about the ways that they were getting these ideas into colleges, which is why I was like, what? | ||
| Did you say it came from colleges? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I thought it was really interesting. | ||
| Well, it was university. | ||
| I only read a little bit. | ||
| I didn't do a ton of research, but I was pulling it up because I was reading articles that were anti-Trump and I was like, hey, wait a minute. | ||
| Wasn't that person in the Weather Underground or something? | ||
| And I looked it up and I was like, oh, it wasn't? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I remember that lady we were talking about earlier. | ||
| Yeah, and I'm like, oh, I must be thinking of something else. | ||
| I don't know the lady's name. | ||
| Princess Pritmer Fox or something, I think? | ||
| Well, no, no, no. | ||
| I know her name, but who's the lady who was, like, with Bill Ayers? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Bill Ayers' girlfriend. | ||
| Well, it's like she was with him at an event for Obama or something, and a lot of people took issue with it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| It's no surprise to me, though, that it's gotten as bad as it has in terms of nonsensical, like nonsensical ideology. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So you think about what these people are spreading and these weird Marxist ideas, and they're not really ideas. | ||
| Are you familiar with, how do you pronounce it, prion? | ||
| Prion? | ||
| Prion. | ||
| Prion diseases? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, do you know the basic function of prion disease? | ||
| Yeah, from what I can tell, it's basically, so I think, wasn't mad cow a prion disease? | ||
| I think so, yeah. | ||
| I know Creutzfeldt-Jakob is, and these are diseases that you can get from eating other people, which is really nice. | ||
| Okay, so that, I avoid sounding dumb, can you explain to me how a prion disease works? | ||
| Do you know? | ||
| I'm putting you on the spot, but you're the fancy doctor. | ||
| I'm not a fancy doctor. | ||
| My problem is that I'm starting at a deficit because I'm not entirely sure what prions are, but I do know that it works against the structure of the brain. | ||
| So it's eating out holes in the brain. | ||
| My general understanding is that they're malformed proteins. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| And what happens is your body will normally produce, I'm going to super simplify, let's say it produces a protein that's shaped like, you know, a certain shape. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The prion is shaped like a different shape. | ||
| Yeah, these are misfolded proteins, you're absolutely right. | ||
| And so your body starts producing proteins that are folded improperly and can't work, and then your body starts breaking down because all of a sudden you've got a bunch of like, let's say you need a bunch of proteins that are shaped like the letter R, and then you get a bunch of proteins shaped like the letter F, and your body's like, yo, these don't fit, what are you making? | ||
| And they're like, I don't know, this is what we're- I'm just gonna keep making it. | ||
| And then you die. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Well, yeah, the problem is that they're neurodegenerative. | ||
| So it affects, obviously, first your brain, which means your whole body falls apart. | ||
| It's actually really awful. | ||
| That's what it feels like, what's happening with this intersectionality stuff. | ||
| So there was recently a school curriculum release. | ||
| We talked about it a little bit the other day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I downloaded the whole thing. | |
| I don't know what it is, but it was just basic stuff. | ||
| And one of the things you see was like... We did mention this yesterday, but just for the context. | ||
| Where normal math problems are like, if a farmer has, you know, 3,600 oranges, and his warehouse can store 2,400, what percentage of oranges will spoil? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| The question was, if there are 3,400 police stops, and out of, you know, 10,000 people, 3,000 are black, what percentage, you know, so it's basically creating this weird intersectional Marxist idea, Trojan-horsed in through regular math problems. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, now you're seeing, too, that the 2 plus 2 equals 5 thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That, to me, feels like a prion disease. | ||
| Well, you want to talk about a misfolded protein. | ||
| You try to inject the idea that 2 plus 2 equals 5 into building a rocket. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
| You're going to have some problems. | ||
| And this is really interesting to me, the curriculum, because if you lay this out at the ground level and then you go from there, everything else is gone. | ||
| Everything else falls apart. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I think this is an accurate analogy. | ||
| Yeah, so now as a society, in every level of government, like all over the place, you have these weird programs that produce nothing. | ||
| Like, you know, it's interesting when I heard You have all these companies promoting diversity, and they're not promoting function and practicality. | ||
| So you take a look at Gillette, for instance. | ||
| What does Gillette do? | ||
| Well, Gillette razors. | ||
| They make razors, yeah. | ||
| You remove hair from your body. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so they made a commercial that was about men being toxic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm like, what does this have to do with selling razors? | ||
| You know, I always talk about this with my friends. | ||
| I'm like, can you please just give me something where, like, the commercial is a guy going, hello, I make razors. | ||
| They're pretty good. | ||
| It has three blades. | ||
| It doesn't hurt your face. | ||
| And it takes the hair off. | ||
| Give it a shot. | ||
| I think it's great. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Can't commercials be like that? | ||
| That's how commercials kind of used to be, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, remember the commercial for Head On? | ||
| Do you remember that? | ||
| Yeah, with the stick that you put on your forehead. | ||
| Yeah, so weird. | ||
| It was really, really weird. | ||
| But the commercial worked. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I remember it. | |
| Because it just repeated itself three times and then stopped. | ||
| Head-on. | ||
| Applied directly to the forehead. | ||
| Head-on. | ||
| Applied. | ||
| And that was it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what the opposite of that commercial was? | ||
| What? | ||
| Have you seen the Quizno commercial with the weird animals screaming? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| It's considered, like, one of the best advertising campaigns ever because it's this really creepy thing of, like, animals screaming a really awful discordant song about sandwiches. | ||
| And they're, like, weird animated things screaming. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And people just will never forget it. | ||
| You know, I think I had a horrible nightmare about this once. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| But I will never forget it. | ||
| Holy cow, I guess you're right. | ||
| The head-on thing is, like, a good ad. | ||
| So anyway, back to the point with Gillette. | ||
| These are companies that are prioritizing making an advertisement about men being toxic and not about a good product. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Surprise, surprise, the company is, like, losing money. | ||
| Yeah, they're not doing so great, last I checked. | ||
| To be fair, though, a lot of people played this up like this big get-what-go-broke thing, when actually, the company was doing poorly already because of the subscription services. | ||
| You get cheaper razors. | ||
| Yeah, like Harry's or Dollar Shave Club. | ||
| Yeah, Dollar Shave Club, Harry's. | ||
| And Gillette was, maybe we'll try and call men bigots? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| What made them think that would work? | ||
| Well, their next commercial was kind of a reversal. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| The next commercial they did was like this ripped blonde hair, blue eyed white guy with a white family. | ||
| He's in the military with a family. | ||
| Like, dude, we like you got complaints about it, man. | ||
| But that's like entirely in the other direction. | ||
| Anyway, the point is, you're not it. | ||
| Why would anyone support a company whose focus is on improving diversity instead of like, I don't know, making socks? | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| That's my first criteria when I'm looking for socks. | ||
| It's to know what they think about me as a woman. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's the only thing I care about and my delicate feminine feet. | ||
| I mean, I think this is part of the problem I mentioned earlier where media can only go in one direction. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But this is what I mean when I talk about the prion disease. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It is a cultural prion disease where these companies are, there's malformed proteins spreading throughout the company. | ||
| You have a company of 100 people, and from the top, from the CEO, all the way down to the lowly workers, they make socks. | ||
| They make great socks. | ||
| The best socks. | ||
| The best socks. | ||
| Everybody agrees, okay? | ||
| And then one day, you introduce intersectionality to one of, I don't know, a mid-level manager. | ||
| And now he, like, forms differently. | ||
| He no longer interacts properly with the other parts of the company. | ||
| He starts seeing all of these things that are wrong because his worldview just malformed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He doesn't respond to the bosses properly. | ||
| Because they're racist. | ||
| It's white supremacy. | ||
| All his employees are doing everything wrong because they're not as woke as he is. | ||
| I could see that at both levels. | ||
| So here's what happens. | ||
| This person's upset but protected by law. | ||
| My boss is a bigot. | ||
| You can't fire me. | ||
| That's against EEOC regulation, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| So then they say, we have to comply with some of these training programs, which spreads the pre-end disease. | ||
| Now you've got half the company that cares less about making those fancy socks that everybody loves and is more concerned about making sure everybody's holding hands and diversity and inclusion and all that. | ||
| Now the company is making crappy socks. | ||
| They're falling apart. | ||
| So, like the pre-end disease, Your body can't function because half the proteins aren't working with the rest of your body. | ||
| Here's the worst part, though. | ||
| The prions don't work with each other either. | ||
| So these woke crazies in these companies, they're canceling each other. | ||
| Yeah, I see it all the time. | ||
| So then the company just plummets, it just collapses. | ||
| Scale that up to our country, and that's what's happening. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You've got, you've got, you know, Bill de Blasio, with painting Black Lives Matter, with no permit, with taxpayer dollars, with all the NYPD, that was malformed proteins that don't match, that make no sense, that is damaging. | ||
| Supporting the riots? | ||
| Damaging. | ||
| The riots? | ||
| Damaging. | ||
| 9-11 Memorial? | ||
| Part of the cohesive structure? | ||
| Tradition? | ||
| Memory? | ||
| Memorial? | ||
| We no longer fit with that. | ||
| It's being ignored, it gets shut down. | ||
| The fact is, not that it was going to be stopped. | ||
| I should say, it's not like somebody decided, we're gonna shut this down. | ||
| The problem is that there's magic money to manifest out of nowhere for Black Lives Matter. | ||
| How do we ever get to a point where they had to consider not having the lights? | ||
| How come it couldn't have been the City of New York guarantees that if you ever don't have the funds or the manpower, we will guarantee it by any means necessary? | ||
| We as a society, whether it actually ends up happening or not, prioritized a new fringe Unhinged ideology with no real goal that can only sow discord over remembering those who died and whose lives were sacrificed in trying to save others. | ||
| It sounds to me like the 9-11 memorial was built when we all came together to recognize, you know, what it means to be an American, how we stand together, and that was when we were very, very unified. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We built this memorial and we pledged to never forget. | ||
| Now we have this expanding, you know, malformed protein spreading throughout our culture. | ||
| It existed during this era too. | ||
| It was in the universities. | ||
| And now these people have spread it outside of universities. | ||
| Do you remember when we used to say, I don't know if you used to say this, but I certainly used to say this and maybe just because of my kind of conservative background, we used to say, imagine what it's going to be like when these kids get out into the real world and they realize how hard the real world is and no one's going to give them the time of day if they're just these soft butter, butter, soft little biscuits. | ||
| And it turned out that they were the real world and they're turning into the real world. | ||
| I called this. | ||
| You did. | ||
| I said it over and over again. | ||
| I was like, these... So, a lot of people... I'll be fair. | ||
| There were periods where I would say something like, these people are going to try and get a job and they're going to get a cold, rude awakening. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's kind of what I'm saying. | ||
| But, you know, outside... That's true. | ||
| It is true. | ||
| So, separating the micro from the macro. | ||
| You get some of these kids to graduate. | ||
| They go work for a company and the company's like, what? | ||
| And they go, oh. | ||
| But give it a few more years and more people keep joining the ranks. | ||
| Those people get into the bosses' positions. | ||
| The universities are essentially cranking out malformed proteins into our society. | ||
| And once our body is inundated with these, the proteins themselves do not produce. | ||
| It is the equivalent of Gillette arguing about toxic masculinity instead of just giving me a face trimmer, a beard trimmer or something. | ||
| So imagine what happens when you have the CDC. | ||
| 10% of its employees have demanded they sign onto a letter calling racism a public health crisis. | ||
| Yeah, makes literally no sense. | ||
| So what happens when our manpower for the CDC is overrun by this nonsensical ideology? | ||
| Then you get a pandemic and they blame Trump for it! | ||
| Dude, this is something that has really troubled me. | ||
| Ever since my whole career has been kind of at hospitals and nursing homes working with old and sick people, and I started to pay attention to culture and I started to think, what happens when this kind of nonsense starts to get into science? | ||
| What happens when we stop looking for the truth and start looking for what fits our little malformed protein ideas? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, what's gonna happen then? | ||
| Is that the end? | ||
| Is that how the world ends? | ||
| Seriously! | ||
| Like, how are we supposed to move forward? | ||
| Do you know the legend of John Titor? | ||
| No. | ||
| It was an old internet legend where this man claimed to be from the future. | ||
| He made a bunch of predictions, and it was a bunch of funny internet images of light bending and stuff, and it was nonsense. | ||
| But a lot of people believed it was real, and the idea was that one of the ideas he had, and none of these predictions came true. | ||
| I mean, maybe some people still believe this stuff. | ||
| I thought it was a fun website, I never believed in it. | ||
| But one of the ideas was that the U.S. | ||
| would break apart. | ||
| That the East Coast would be, like, the East Coast would essentially be the remnants of the federal government, and it would be aligned with Europe. | ||
| The Midwest, Northern states, would be, like, basically become part of Canada. | ||
| The Southern, you know, Midwest and South would be part of Mexico, and the West Coast would join China. | ||
| Really? | ||
| That was like one of the conspiracy theories from back in the late 90s, early 2000s. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| What, it's fantastic? | ||
| It's horrifying. | ||
| No, that kind of feels like what's happening. | ||
| Because all the federal government is situated on the East Coast. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And sure, whatever, we have more in common with Europe. | ||
| They kind of look down their noses at us. | ||
| And then California seems to like them some China. | ||
| They love themselves some communism, man. | ||
| They sure do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Not the rural areas, though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, no. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So I would only take really serious issue with the southern part of, for Texas, for example, joining forces with Mexico. | ||
| I don't really see that happening. | ||
| Texas is not that kind of state. | ||
| I'm just saying, like, that idea I thought was silly. | ||
| That is so interesting. | ||
| But the idea of the U.S. | ||
| fracturing, I see it as possible. | ||
| I think people have an optimism bias and they don't want to believe. | ||
| Everything's happening right now. | ||
| John Podesta's The War Games they did. | ||
| I don't think people realize the severity of what it means when the Boston Globe and the New York Times report That the establishment Republicans before Trump and the Democrats teamed up to play out scenarios and ultimately determined that it was preferable to have the West Coast secede from the Union than allow Trump to win the presidency. | ||
| This was not some like, you know, the MIT rolled some die and a computer program said this might happen. | ||
| This was literally the politicians themselves making decisions for themselves. | ||
| Yeah, this wasn't like two weird people sitting at a podcast table, for example, on a Friday night talking about, you know, the state of the country fracturing. | ||
| Yeah, I mean... These are our politicians. | ||
| They were literally playing, like, D&D, essentially. | ||
| Okay, that's pretty funny. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Actually, that'd be a really fun thing to do. | ||
| Like, maybe, like, we should probably try and set up some, I'll do air quotes, war games. | ||
| We should, that'd be fun. | ||
| That'd be a real fun thing to do, maybe, like, on the weekends. | ||
| Yeah, we could probably do this. | ||
| Yeah, so based on what you know about these politicians and stuff they've done in the past, what do you think they do in this situation? | ||
| Oh man, I would play Joe Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah? | |
| And the whole time I would be like, and no one would have any idea what I was saying. | ||
| Yeah, it'd be great. | ||
| No, I think I'd get to be Trump. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What? | ||
| You're going to fight me for it. | ||
| Do you want to play Trump? | ||
| Yeah, I want to be Trump. | ||
| It would be fun to, you know, but here, look, listen, we could play a war game scenario And I can be silly and be like, haha, now I'm gonna launch a bunch of, you know, like, attack helicopters! | ||
| But these politicians were actual politicians. | ||
| Right, yeah, you have to actually think about what the person you're acting as would be doing in the situation. | ||
| I think it would be interesting, and I've heard this a lot, you know, growing up, that empires only last, you know, 250 years or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, I have heard that as well, which is unsettling. | ||
| It seems like, you know, I don't know, there's great risk ahead of us. | ||
| Maybe that should give you a kind of peace. | ||
| Peace? | ||
| Because maybe it's just what's going to happen. | ||
| Maybe it's what's meant to be and maybe there we can salvage part of the country and go on and... | ||
| Or maybe Trump wins in a landslide because people are scared of that idea. | ||
| Entirely possible as well. | ||
| And, you know, I wonder about what's happening with the collapse of the economy, and I wonder if this will force universal healthcare. | ||
| I could be wrong about this. | ||
| My understanding about universal healthcare in Europe was because of World War II. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I have heard that as well. | ||
| It may have been one or two, but they had no choice because everybody was like literally wounded and dying to just be like, we're going to try and take care of everybody and figure out how to fund it because we have to do this. | ||
| Well, they did that in Spain just now. | ||
| They finished changing over their health care system because of coronavirus. | ||
| I remember thinking, huh. | ||
| That's really interesting. | ||
| A crisis that will then force action. | ||
| So, you know what's interesting? | ||
| Bill de Blasio mentioned he wants to buy up all these buildings. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| He just came right out and said it, huh? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the mass evictions. | ||
| They're putting homeless people in luxury areas, driving out wealthy people. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I need a nice house. | ||
| But that's also stripping them of their income. | ||
| Then Bernie Sanders says he wants to tax like 65% of all of the gains made from billionaires. | ||
| We're not talking about money made. | ||
| We're talking about if you had... Let me break down for you what Bernie Sanders is saying. | ||
| I got this here a little Tim in a jar, right? | ||
| Let's say this is worth $5. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then because of the pandemic, a cork and a little glass tube and the things required become extremely rare, and now it's worth $100. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Bernie's plan would require me to sell this and then give him $65. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| So it's a tax on the wealth gains, not cash. | ||
| So if I have no money and this becomes valuable, what do I have to sell it? | ||
| I guess so. | ||
| I guess so. | ||
| Yeah, because you can't afford to cover however much he wants from you. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if following all of this, we see a bunch of more social welfare policies enacted very heavily. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I see that coming from the right or the left. | ||
| I don't really think it matters. | ||
| I mean, if the country stays together. | ||
| It will. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, but I, you know, I guess we could say, we could just say, don't have an optimism bias. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, um, an optimism bias is basically when people think it can't happen to me. | ||
| Everything's always great. | ||
| It's going to be fine. | ||
| And then it's not. | ||
| So would you say that an optimism bias is what they had in 2016 when they were just sure that their candidate would win? | ||
| Hillary? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And they have it now, too. | ||
| You know, they picked Kamala. | ||
| And I saw this progressive guy I know say, well, I still think Trump is going to lose. | ||
| And I'm like, man... You just keep right on thinking that, bro. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then you're gonna lose. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I want them to lose. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| All the Hillary people who sat at home, we'll see if they learn their lesson. | ||
| I kind of believe they didn't. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think so. | ||
| Because I don't think they can. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think so either. | ||
| They keep advocating for censorship and then getting silenced. | ||
| They're like, wait, wait. | ||
| No, like the young Turks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| I've said it a million times, but the progressives should have been behind Trump. | ||
| What makes you say that? | ||
| That's a little crazy. | ||
| Because the Democratic Party, the establishment, if they get back in, the progressives are done for. | ||
| But that would require them to plan ahead a little bit. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Well, so what happened now? | ||
| For all of, you know, basically what I see happening is the progressives didn't like Trump, but the establishment started handing out rocks. | ||
| And they gladly picked the rocks up and threw them at Trump as well. | ||
| It's actually like, you know, I covered this on my main channel, the White House siege thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're planning a 50-day siege of the White House starting September 17th. | ||
| And why? | ||
| So that the Obama administration's, you know, second-in-command can take the reins? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's what they said. | ||
| They're like, you know, obviously they want revolution, nothing less. | ||
| They say that. | ||
| But they're going to protest Donald Trump so that Biden can win? | ||
| And then they pushed the initial article, or it was like ad, for Occupy Wall Street. | ||
| Their complaints were during the Obama administration. | ||
| Why would they want to empower the Obama administration? | ||
| Because in tandem with not being able to look into the future, they also can't look into the past and they can't assess the present to figure out what the heck is happening right now and why and what might have caused it. | ||
| Well, shall we do Super Chats? | ||
| We should do Super Chats. | ||
| And man, it's been an exhausting week, my friends, but I assure you, We're, uh, we're, we're, you know, we had some changes in the show. | ||
| We're going to be kicking things back up and things are going to be a little different. | ||
| We got some guests coming next week. | ||
| We're going to have more guests and we're going to try and do guests periodically. | ||
| COVID is a disaster for basically everybody, us included, but we're going to read Super Chats for now. | ||
| And we'll just, you know, I can't read literally every single one, but I'll do my best to read as many as I can. | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| I think it was the blue thing behind me. | ||
| There was a blue shirt behind me. | ||
| Yeah, when I finally took it off. | ||
| I was like, I wonder if this is it. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| There was a blue shirt sitting there. | ||
| out to Lydia doing great even while red. | ||
| Spork Witch says, Director said outright Starship Troopers is fascist. | ||
| That he didn't and wouldn't read it, and made the movie as a propaganda piece to push his | ||
| own uninformed views on the book. | ||
| It's a short book, 250 pages, and very easy style to read. | ||
| Please do read it. | ||
| That's what I heard. | ||
| Yeah, I think that's basically what Sargon was saying. | ||
| Akram says, I was literally brought to tears when I heard de Blasio wanted to cancel the 9-11 memorial. | ||
| It was the day we saw the absolute best of humanity in our first responders and citizens, great work, and spin the UFO for those heroes. | ||
| I don't believe it was Bill de Blasio specifically. | ||
| My criticism is that de Blasio would unilaterally give himself the power to do whatever he wants with his, you know, campaign message, and that we couldn't even pull tax funds and manpower to make sure the memorial happened. | ||
| Yeah, I was angry. | ||
| It doesn't describe. | ||
| It was a combination of rage and sadness. | ||
| Is there a word for that? | ||
| Rageness. | ||
| Radness. | ||
| No, it's not radness. | ||
| That's different. | ||
| Sageness. | ||
| Sageness. | ||
| That just sounds wise. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| I was, man, listen. | ||
| I remember waking up, I was like 14. | ||
| I fell asleep on, best of my ability to remember it, I used to sleep on the futon in my living room. | ||
| TVs back then, they were very large. | ||
| Yeah, I recall, yeah. | ||
| And I woke up to my mom yelling, a plane had crashed. | ||
| I'm always very careful to tell the story because it's really hard to remember, but my understanding is that we witnessed the second plane crash. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh wow. | |
| And then my mom immediately was like, started crying like, oh my god, we're under attack. | ||
| We're under attack. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm sitting there like, I have no idea what's happening. | ||
| My friends were driving to school and Chicago has a show, Mankow's Morning Madhouse. | ||
| And he immediately just broke away and was like, this is not a drill. | ||
| A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center. | ||
| And my friends were telling me the story. | ||
| They were all laughing like, this guy's so crazy. | ||
| And like, he's like, I am not joking. | ||
| This is happening. | ||
| They didn't believe it. | ||
| But everybody in school was like, they brought the TVs into the classrooms. | ||
| They turned them on and they were like, didn't say anything to turn the news on. | ||
| Everybody watched. | ||
| How crazy that it was just about 20 years ago, 19 years ago, that we had all our schools came together. | ||
| We all watched this. | ||
| The support for the president was through the roof. | ||
| Everybody agreed. | ||
| And today, they can't even turn the lights on. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| They're hopefully going to do something, though, to be fair, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Gareth Green says, fun fact, before 1800, the state constitution of New Jersey gave the right to vote to all free white property-owning people. | ||
| So when single property-owning white women showed up to register to vote, nothing could be done to stop them. | ||
| Hey, that's kind of cool. | ||
| That's funny, yeah. | ||
| It's too bad New Jersey's kind of become garbage. | ||
| We've gone downhill since then. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Alright, we'll read some more superchats. | ||
| What do we got here? | ||
| Mr. Goofyfoot, actually, I'm gonna bring this up just for you. | ||
| of sanity and a lighthouse of truth. | ||
| In the MSM-C of political deception, stay strong and keep skating. | ||
| 50 years and still rolling. | ||
| Mr. Goofyfoot, actually, I'm going to bring this up just for you. | ||
| I am mildly perturbed right now. | ||
| Tony Hawk put out an Instagram post to honor a man who invented what was called the mute | ||
| grab, a very basic grab trick in skateboarding. | ||
| And he wants to rename it, partly to honor the skater, but it also kind of makes it sound like it was offensive. | ||
| So, Tony Hawk tweeted this, and he said, For nearly 40 years, we've shamelessly referred to this trick as the Mute Air, or Grab. | ||
| The backstory, simply, is that Chris Weddle did it, he was deaf, so they called him the Mute Guy. | ||
| When he did it, they said, he did it first, we'll call it Mute. | ||
| Someone initially wanted to call it Tracker Air, but others said because, you know, that guy did it, we'll name it after him, the Mute Guy. | ||
| So they called it the Mute Grab. | ||
| I was born after this, and I started skating well after this. | ||
| And there are many video games that use the term mute grab. | ||
| So Tony Hawk is now saying in the new video game, they're going to change the name to Weddle Grab. | ||
| And my issue with it is, first and foremost, mad respect for trying to honor the guy who invented it, for sure. | ||
| But, it's strange for me to see somebody in a position of authority like Tony Hawk is, because he's got a game coming out, try and alter the culture that is, you know, that millions of people engage in. | ||
| Like, I got a video game, Skater XL. | ||
| This game's amazing, by the way. | ||
| And you do mute grabs in it. | ||
| Are they gonna change every video game? | ||
| Like, why do this? | ||
| I just don't like the idea of someone asserting, you know, I wouldn't do it myself, I don't like it when other people do it, I can understand the reason behind it, I can respect it, but I don't like the absolute authority of someone who's very wealthy in a position of power to be like, you know what, I'm changing the name that everybody uses, all of these people, I hope it catches on. | ||
| You know what this says to me? | ||
| What? | ||
| That Tony Hawk is the self-proclaimed king of the skateboarders. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Much like Peter Griffin. | ||
| Peter Griffin. | ||
| I was like, this is so antithetical to everything that skateboarding is about. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Skateboarding is an oral tradition. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's very difficult for people to write down what things are, and I love it when you try. | ||
| Like, you can look at, like, skateboarding Wikipedia pages, and it'll say, like, trick names, and there's just dumb names. | ||
| Some 10-year-old kid popped in and said, I made this up, and he never did it before. | ||
| Because there's an endless possibility of things you can do on a skateboard. | ||
| It's like guys bragging about how big a fish is, isn't it? | ||
| They're like, this happened. | ||
| It's worse than that. | ||
| It's way worse than that. | ||
| I grew up with kids being like, yo, this is called like the red dragon and this is called the blue dragon and like the red dragon. | ||
| And I'm like, dude, stop. | ||
| That's not a trick. | ||
| You didn't, you land it and we'll talk about it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then, and then another thing they always do is like, they'll try and make up a new trick and then just call it after themselves. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| I always hated that. | ||
| I'm like, you know, I have nothing to do with that. | ||
| But anyway, I bring it up. | ||
| I don't, it's not the biggest deal in the world. | ||
| I was just kind of like. | ||
| Yeah, we were going to talk about it tonight though. | ||
| So absolutely. | ||
| Kind of. | ||
| It's just, to me, it's an oral tradition. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| When you start skating, people explain to you how things work, what the names are. | ||
| And I'm also going to tell you this. | ||
| While I have you here and I'm complaining about skateboarding, first, I'll ask you to hit the like button if you haven't already. | ||
| Subscribe. | ||
| Notification bell. | ||
| You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Parler, Timcast. | ||
| You can follow at Sour Patch Lids as well. | ||
| There is a such thing as a frontside overcrook on a rail. | ||
| I said it. | ||
| I know there are skateboarders who watch this, and I know it's going to cause a controversy. | ||
| But for those that understand this, there is a frontside overcrook on a handrail, and stop trying to claim that an overcrook is a nosegrind simply because you're not good enough to actually do a nosegrind. | ||
| Boom, I said it. | ||
| And that's like, there's like some top pros who are like, nosegrinds just look this way. | ||
| I said it. | ||
| It's done. | ||
| Tim has said it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Tim has declared it. | ||
| So here's what I'm actually saying. | ||
| The joke is, I don't believe anyone has the authority to dictate what a trick is or isn't. | ||
| It either is or isn't. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so the simple way to explain it is that in skateboarding, I can actually maybe show you. | ||
| Oh yeah, here. | ||
| Can you zoom in? | ||
| Yeah, there you go. | ||
| I'm zoomed. | ||
| What can I use? | ||
| I'll use this pen. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A nose grind would simply be the board on the rail, straight on the nose. | ||
| But what people do is they come at it at an angle, and they call it a nose grind because they're not good enough to actually balance in the middle, and there are top pros who do this, and they argue that it is. | ||
| And I'm like, no, no, you don't argue that it is. | ||
| We know what the trick is. | ||
| You can't just be like, well, I can't do it, so I'm gonna call what I do it, and no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not doing that. | ||
| Yeah, I don't like that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Anyway back to the super chats now that I've wasted your time with some more esoteric skateboarding | ||
| talk. | ||
| Gordon Hawkins says, I miss Adam, but this was a good live stream. | ||
| If you haven't listened to it, the whole mess feels like the stage by A7X from 2016. | ||
| The whole mess? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'll check it out. | ||
| I'm going to look it up. | ||
| Richard Baranowski says, the city doesn't deserve a better tomorrow. | ||
| It deserves to drown in its filth. | ||
| Wilson Fisk, NYC. | ||
| That's the kingpin, right? | ||
| The bad guy from Spider-Man. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds right. | ||
| Zool says, John Titor might not have been right, but if you know anything about Nostradamus, a 15th century astrologer, he had predicted the rise of Napoleon and Hitler, both World Wars and 9-11. | ||
| Maybe suggest to Adam to do a deep dive. | ||
| That'd be cool. | ||
| I don't know if Nostradamus really did that. | ||
| There's some really interesting parallels, but I think the challenge is how much did he predict that wasn't true? | ||
| So I have a theory. | ||
| What if these people actually can see the future, but the future is not woven yet? | ||
| Here's how I look at... I imagine time, if I were to simplify it, where we are with timelines and futures and variables, would be that where we are right now is where the braid is being made. | ||
| And in front of us are all the different threads in random directions, and we're braiding it in certain ways, and bringing all these different variables into alignment. | ||
| Tapestry of history. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So if you could see the future, you wouldn't see a straight line because it's not been woven yet. | ||
| You'd see all the crazy variables. | ||
| And if you wrote every single one of them down, you'd find the one thread we used for this tapestry. | ||
| But you'd also write down all of the wrong ones, too. | ||
| This is amazing to me because you just described the plot from one of Terry Pratchett's books that he wrote with Neil Gaiman. | ||
| Oh yeah? | ||
| It's about a book of prophecies that this lady wrote and everyone thought she was crazy and it's been handed down through the family. | ||
| Everyone makes their notes. | ||
| They're like, you know, I think this is actually this and it turns out there's like flying motorcycles and flying fish and it actually is the end of the world and nothing is anything like anyone predicted. | ||
| But it was because she was seeing things then that she thought were like, you know, something totally different. | ||
| And she used the explanation that she had available in the 1600s. | ||
| And then in, you know, the 2000s, totally different. | ||
| So that is a really fun theory. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| There's an image of firefighters flying. | ||
| It's a drawing from like the 1900s, like early, early 1900s. | ||
| And they were like, their vision of the future. | ||
| And one of them was, you know, firefighters with wings fighting fires. | ||
| Like, why didn't we get that future? | ||
| That would've been cool. | ||
| You know, I gotta say it. | ||
| I know people love to romanticize the past, but when I saw this story about the Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon. | ||
| So for those that don't know, they converted, they created a 90s living room. | ||
| And there's a VCR and VHS, it's the last blockbuster, and you can Airbnb it and come and have a 90s movie night. | ||
| I thought about how amazing a business idea that would be, and I'd love to actually figure out how to do that, where you have a big building and it's an Airbnb with four time periods. | ||
| How cool would it be if you were like, I'd like to rent the 90s room for the night? | ||
| And you'd go in, everything's from the 90s, you turn the TV on and it's playing TV from the 90s. | ||
| You open the fridge and there's snacks. | ||
| And everything's 90s. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| It would be probably hard to do, but it would be cool and all the technology is and just like to exist in this bubble. | ||
| But when I saw this, I thought that that'd be a great business idea. | ||
| So by all means, steal it so I can rent one of those rooms. | ||
| That'd be awesome. | ||
| Like to live, like to actually recreate a 70s living room. | ||
| That'd be so fun. | ||
| I wasn't alive in the 70s. | ||
| But what I realized was, you know what, man? | ||
| There is something good about the era before social media. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Cell phones, technology is fine, but I thought back to like, I was thinking back to being a kid and not knowing where my friends were, and there was something, it was so much more fun not knowing. | ||
| It reminds me of Doctor Manhattan in the Watchmen series. | ||
| Are you familiar with that at all? | ||
| I'm familiar, kind of. | ||
| He can see the future, he can see everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And so, like, one of the lines in it is that he's, when he's fighting the bad guy, | ||
| the bad guy uses tachyon interference so that he can't see the future, | ||
| and he's like, I almost, you know, forgot the thrill of not knowing something. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm like, it's kind of where we are right now. | ||
| It's exactly where we are. | ||
| Where it's like, we know where everyone is all the time. | ||
| In fact, you can get an app. | ||
| I remember the first time this came out, where you could see your friend on a map. | ||
| That was so weird. | ||
| They were like, dude, download this app. | ||
| And you can, like, see where I'm at. | ||
| I'm like, whoa. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| The mystery is gone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Remember when, do you remember when cell phones had radios? | ||
| That brief period where, like, someone would have a cell phone, but they'd walk, they'd pick someone's, you know, name and then just press the button and go, yo, what up? | ||
| No, that's awesome! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where was I for that? | ||
| I don't know, it was like Boost Mobile, but all the drug dealers were using it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's funny. | |
| SkullDrummer34 says, Hey Tim, I love watching your vids. | ||
| You're one of the only realist media sources out there. | ||
| I especially love when you say, Harumph I say! | ||
| I won't be able to watch while I'm in boot camp for a few months. | ||
| Keep up the good work. | ||
| Appreciate it, man. | ||
| Good luck, dude. | ||
| That's tough. | ||
| Let's see, what is this one? | ||
| Whirlabee Scott says, Our original time was without Christ. | ||
| Our secondary time was with Christ. | ||
| Do you know what that means? | ||
| No, not familiar with this expression. | ||
| Truis Vijek says, love you guys. | ||
| Lids, you're doing great. | ||
| Any chance we can get a jam session tonight? | ||
| Tim and maybe even Lydia can play a song. | ||
| Anyway, keep up the great work. | ||
| Spin the UFO, Lids. | ||
| I do not believe we'll be doing a jam session. | ||
| I do not play any instruments and I only sing in the shower. | ||
| You're spinning the UFO the other way? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm changing the direction because this person posed a question. | |
| Alright. | ||
| I liked it. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| I always try to make sure that we get some of the early superchats so you guys don't get missed out. | ||
| It's going to disappear. | ||
| Natto A says, Tim, did you hear about Millie Weaver getting arrested today? | ||
| I did mention this. | ||
| And Matthew Hammond then came in right away and said, another superchat, Millie Weaver of Infowars and her husband were arrested for burglary on the eve of the release of her documentary on people funding the riots and Russian hoax. | ||
| Same way they went after James O'Keefe. | ||
| I don't know anything other than she got arrested. | ||
| I'm not familiar with her work. | ||
| I know that she follows me on Twitter. | ||
| I don't follow InfoWars. | ||
| Not a big fan of InfoWars. | ||
| But I'm not going to say anything about people I don't know other than I watched the video of her getting arrested and it's weird. | ||
| That timing is weird. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| The timing's weird, but I think the best we can do is just make sure everybody knows. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because if it is something nefarious, then everyone knows. | ||
| Yeah, good. | ||
| Like, they know she got arrested, and they know, you know, she's gotta go fund me and stuff like that. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| But I'll be honest, man. | ||
| Sometimes people get indicted for things. | ||
| I do think it's really weird because, like, what did they burgle? | ||
| They broke into someone's house or something? | ||
| Yeah, I'd want a lot more detail. | ||
| Yeah, it's weird. | ||
| I really don't know. | ||
| If a grand jury did it, man, I think we need to get to a point where we have a really good system with English common law, presumption of innocence. | ||
| I think we can build upon this and do better with technology, you know? | ||
| We sure could. | ||
| Or they could just use it to keep track of all our faces and address the pre-crime. | ||
| Oh man, and just lock everybody up. | ||
| Yep, just lock everyone up. | ||
| Pre-crime. | ||
| Pre-crime. | ||
| Hannah Florian says, Tim, thank you for being willing to challenge the popular narrative. | ||
| That's something few people seem interested in doing these days. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| King Canuck says, say with drama, but if CNN is fake news, and Fox is fake news, and you're fake news, then who the hell's flying this narrative? | ||
| Hope you're having a good night, both of you. | ||
| Keep up the whatever you do. | ||
| We will! | ||
| Yeah, pretty much. | ||
| Yeah, but now we have guests on the show! | ||
| IRL that you would interview people one-on-one and Lydia would feed you info and manage sound and video for the most | ||
| part Yes, yeah pretty much and we've talked about it because of | ||
| kovat we couldn't we couldn't book any guests. Yeah, but actually actually | ||
| I'm sorry the real the original version of Tim cast era was supposed to be a vlog in a van | ||
| Yeah So I built the van and I said this over and over and the | ||
| intent was I would do my normal shows in the van And then once I finished we'd be in some random place and | ||
| then I would do a vlog on the ground So we could actually do field reporting meet with locals | ||
| and random average Joe's Impossible to do. | ||
| With that van, you would need like a full bus. | ||
| I would need like a tour bus to be able to pull that off. | ||
| Because you need two or three people. | ||
| People who can drive, you know. | ||
| I have to be able to stop to do my normal recordings. | ||
| Then we need to organize and set up interviews with people. | ||
| I think it would be an amazing show. | ||
| Like, imagine just pulling up into literally the middle of nowhere, Oklahoma, in the Panhandle, and then just showing up, and there's like a town of 500 people, and there's like some dude, and he's like, I would love to talk to you about how I feel about what's going on. | ||
| We totally did that on the way back from California. | ||
| Remember when we stopped? | ||
| Yeah, we talked to this lady in the gas station. | ||
| I was like, where the heck is Tim? | ||
| And I went back in. | ||
| That was in Arizona. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And she was straight up like, we're not concerned about any of this at all. | ||
| We're all preppers. | ||
| We got nothing to worry about. | ||
| This lady told me this hilarious story. | ||
| She's like, My husband looks over at me and he says, man, should we go buy toilet paper? | ||
| And she's like, I looked at him and I laughed and I was like, we got three months in the cupboard over there. | ||
| She's like, we're preppers. | ||
| And I was like, that's a great story. | ||
| It's hilarious. | ||
| I love that story. | ||
| Yeah, we only ever hear from city folk. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Big city people with big cameras. | ||
| And it's really difficult to go to the middle of nowhere. | ||
| Well, it turns out if you just stop at a gas station and ask a lady what she thinks, she will tell you what she thinks. | ||
| Then you get a really interesting story. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| That was a lot of fun, that trip. | ||
| So anyway, that was the original idea. | ||
| Then I was like, basically we should have more guests on. | ||
| And we did. | ||
| We initially had several, and then COVID just stopped everything. | ||
| And then all of a sudden... So the goal of the show is to do basically what we already do with news segments. | ||
| We have stories. | ||
| But here's the way I see it. | ||
| I'm interested in what some other people think about news stories, where they might not be experts. | ||
| Explore the political opinions of, you know, certain experts. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Not necessarily on what they're an expert on. | ||
| Yeah, so get like a biologist's take on what's happening in, I don't know, somewhere like overseas or something? | ||
| Or Greta Thunberg. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| You're a biologist, man. | ||
| You deal with, like, all this stuff. | ||
| Like, we see this lady saying, how dare you? | ||
| Right, well, what would be the impact of what she's saying? | ||
| But it's also average people. | ||
| I really would love to find regular people who are just like, here's what's going on in my industry. | ||
| I'm not going to expect them to know about who voted for what and who's elected to where, but it would be amazing to actually sit down with someone and say, Donald Trump is doing this executive order. | ||
| What's going on with your paycheck? | ||
| And then have, like, a plumber or, you know, an office worker or someone just be like, my friends, here's what we're seeing, because we don't get it. | ||
| And I wonder why we don't get it. | ||
| Because you get more clicks when you stick a name on something. | ||
| We like celebrity. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So ultimately, the show will never have someone's name. | ||
| It'll never be like Timcast IRL with this person, ideally. | ||
| We may have done it in the past. | ||
| The goal is to be like, you know, Timcast IRL Dash and then news. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then we'll be sitting down with someone who's like a regular person or certain experts in certain areas and just generally have people to hang out with and talk. | ||
| We'll see what ends up happening. | ||
| Yeah, whatever happens will be cool. | ||
| Alright, let's see what we got in the super chat. | ||
| Nate says, would it be possible to address the Adam thing? | ||
| If you have and I missed it, point me to it. | ||
| Y'all seem to gel. | ||
| All of a sudden, a bunch of Tim and Adam theory vids popped up in my feed. | ||
| And in the chat, I'm seeing all kinds of crazy. | ||
| It's... people have a right to privacy, man. | ||
| So I'm not trying to be mean, and I know everybody wants to know everything all the time, but I think... I respect, you know, I work in journalism, I have sources, there's a certain point where you don't reveal people's private information, and it's just really about we as people and the things we do. | ||
| I just, sorry, you know what I mean? | ||
| Like, I'm sure if you, you know, did something with your family, you'd be like, it's nobody's business. | ||
| The challenge for us is that we're on a show, so it's like, you know, everybody wants to know the nitty-gritty details of everything, and I think people just have a right to privacy. | ||
| Ultimately, the goal is to make sure that everybody is doing things that are successful, and everything is literally successful. | ||
| So Adam's got his show he's setting up, and it's AdamCastIRL on YouTube. | ||
| I don't know if he's changing the name, but we'll be shouting him out. | ||
| His channel is still on the channel and everything, and we're going to make sure that his show becomes massive, and he does really, really well because he's a good dude. | ||
| He's a great dude, and he's good at what he does. | ||
| All right, let's see where we're at. | ||
| Chris D. Goddard says, I want to see Biden in front of a congressional hearing regarding Russiagate, like Barr had to sit through. | ||
| Not for the truth we'll never hear, but for the pure entertainment value. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| He wouldn't be able to answer properly. | ||
| And then they'd accuse him of perjury because he spoke improperly. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| No, they totally would. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| SilverBullSteve says, Hey Tim and Lydia, Tim, for your jam session, would you consider making a parody of Jamie's Got a Gun? | ||
| It could be Tim's Got a Gun, keep up the great work. | ||
| We're gonna figure out what's going on with the format and everything, to be honest. | ||
| We were supposed to close on a deal two days ago for the new space, for the new companies, for the new ethics and everything, like the fact-checking site and all that stuff, and it was supposed to be two days ago. | ||
| And we've been stuck in purgatory because of COVID. | ||
| So this has been very troublesome. | ||
| But the ultimate goal is going to be a real set design. | ||
| I mean, we have this. | ||
| It's cool. | ||
| It's fancy. | ||
| But it's a little makeshift. | ||
| And I'm actually talking with some companies about legit construction and design and expansion. | ||
| And we want to have a legit music area. | ||
| And I actually want to have musical guests. | ||
| There are a lot of musicians that are very well known. | ||
| Some of them quite outspoken now on social media that you'd think are like far left, but they're actually, you know, whatever it is, we are liberal. | ||
| I mean, you're conservative. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You know, I don't know what I am because I keep taking these different tests and they keep giving me different things. | ||
| What do they tell you you are? | ||
| Well, they tell me I'm like libertarian. | ||
| They tell me I'm traditional conservative and I feel pretty stodgy sometimes. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Whatever we are. | ||
| I get liberal on most things. | ||
| Um, it's, you know, I did the, the, the hidden tribes test. | ||
| It says traditional liberal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The moral foundation said I was conservative. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like what? | ||
| I never know anymore. | ||
| I thought that was interesting because it, you know, even a few months ago it said I was left liberal. | ||
| I was like, I wonder what my opinion changed on. | ||
| I think it actually became more pronounced. | ||
| Not that my opinions have changed, just I'm more sure of myself. | ||
| Yeah, I think that kind of happens as you get older, too. | ||
| But the moral foundations thing is interesting because you can be a liberal with strong moral foundations. | ||
| It's just that almost all liberals only have two of six. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Which seems mildly unbalanced. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| BP, thanks for that super chat. | ||
| Let's see, Jeremy Smith says, check out Millie's Shadowgate on YouTube just dropped today. | ||
| It's why I left the military under Obama administration. | ||
| It literally why we voted D.J.T. | ||
| and why so much fake news. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| And she just got arrested. | ||
| C. Jung the Great says, full stop, Millie Weaver dropped the doc. | ||
| She did it as soon as she was notified of her arrest, probably an early edit. | ||
| It's a doc that tells of a shadow government program of using contractor intel agents to attack political enemies. | ||
| Creepy. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, I'm not a conspiracy guy. | |
| But I'll watch it. | ||
| I definitely think there are people who, you know, work in concert and conspire in certain ways. | ||
| I don't think people are well organized enough to have any real kind of conspiracy. | ||
| But I do think, I mean, there's that guy in that jail, you know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
True, I do know that one thing that happens to that poor guy. | |
| What? | ||
| Yeah, you know, whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| There was a guy in a jail and, uh... He's no longer with us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Strange. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Seth Adam Smith says, has anyone else noticed how eerily similar our current situation is to Dark Knight Rises? | ||
| Quarantine city, taking down the economy, a war against cops, and a billionaire playboy. | ||
| I nominate Tim for Commissioner Gordon. | ||
| No, man. | ||
| No, man. | ||
| Uh, let's see. | ||
| Vash Spector says, thank you for all the honesty you give us. | ||
| As a truck driver, tons of U-Hauls with luxury cars in tow on I-40 leaving Cali. | ||
| And messages from my company and other truckers to avoid I-90, 95 due to Black Lives Matter protests or don't stop if you do hit somebody call 911. | ||
| I saw that! | ||
| Yeah, I've seen that too. | ||
| Yeah, one of my friends is a trucker and he's like, this is something that I saw go by. | ||
| You don't stop. | ||
| You might slow down if you think that's the right thing to do. | ||
| This is not a direct quote. | ||
| I'm paraphrasing here. | ||
| But yeah, that is the going wisdom is to not stop. | ||
| Eric Anderson says, you're right. | ||
| This year has started more speculation than I've ever seen. | ||
| You talked about conspiracy theories. | ||
| Have you read about The Great Reset yet? | ||
| If you want some good entertainment and get you thinking. | ||
| What is The Great Reset? | ||
| You know what that is? | ||
| I think it's a book and I think we have it. | ||
| We have so many books. | ||
| We have so many books! | ||
| I'm really excited for when we finally get to the new space. | ||
| I have a headache over all of this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Listen, let me tell you guys something. | |
| We're two days past when we're supposed to have closed. | ||
| We're all crammed in a space. | ||
| The time keeps on ticking. | ||
| It's crazy in the media. | ||
| Relentless lies. | ||
| It's all relatively stressful. | ||
| We have a bunch of books, and I'm very excited for this new space, where we're actually gonna have big bookshelves and all of the books you guys send us. | ||
| If you go to timcast.com slash donate, there is a P.O. | ||
| box. | ||
| You can mail whatever, and people mail us crazy stuff, but feel free to, you know, whatever. | ||
| We got a bunch of books. | ||
| We got so many books, some of them are nuts! | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Yeah, it's great. | ||
| I especially love the crazy books, because I really oppose book burning, and I think the crazy books are the fun ones. | ||
| It occurs to me that when the book burning happens, and I'm not saying if anymore, we're gonna have all the craziest books and I credit all of you guys and I love it and I'm so glad we have all of them. | ||
| We'll have like the last copies of these books. | ||
| Here's another one from a trucker. | ||
| Well, she's literally doing that. | ||
| Yes I am. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| a trucker, I've been back and forth East Coast to West Coast, and I don't see any Biden stuff | ||
| aside from the rare sticker. | ||
| Trump, though, is everywhere, even in California, everywhere. | ||
| Keep up the good work. | ||
| Nice to see Lids voicing her opinion more." | ||
| Well, she's literally doing that. | ||
| Yes, I am. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| So, you know what would make me feel good? | ||
| A 49-state landslide for Donald Trump. | ||
| That would feel very... You know why? | ||
| Why? | ||
| It's nothing to do with Trump. | ||
| It's everything to do with the American people coming together and being unified, and an end to the political division. | ||
| I guess, theoretically, you could have that with Biden, but I don't believe that the Democrats are unified. | ||
| Oh, they're not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Oh. | ||
| So, the Democrats right now, you've got the far left, you've got the moderates, and they hate each other. | ||
| There's no way to bridge that gap, and I think they thought Kamala would do that. | ||
| You called her Kamala earlier. | ||
| Again. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Kamala. | ||
| They did a whole thing on CNN on Tucker Carlson being a racist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They wrote articles about him. | |
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| And he got yelled at and he did the brow thing. | ||
| He was like, what? | ||
| And the guy on the show was like, it's Kamala. | ||
| And he was like, okay. | ||
| And they ran with that. | ||
| He's like, are you talking to me about this really? | ||
| Anyway, I totally cut you off. | ||
| No, you're good. | ||
| It makes perfect sense. | ||
| Kamala. | ||
| I think they thought she would bridge that gap and she is not going to do that. | ||
| No. | ||
| I saw a comment, it was really funny, on Facebook. | ||
| Somebody said something like, I won't vote for Biden, but let's be real, it's easier to overthrow a milquetoast moderate than it is a fascist dictator. | ||
| And I started laughing. | ||
| And I'm like, what if that's the reason the far left really wants Biden? | ||
| Because Trump is right. | ||
| Biden's America will be chaos and riots in the street because they know he won't do anything to stop them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Think about this. | ||
| Portland is still going on. | ||
| The feds were sent in to secure the courthouse. | ||
| Donald Trump was like, we're shutting it down. | ||
| No ifs, ands, or buts. | ||
| And they all started crying. | ||
| Actually, it reminds me of Freedom Tunes video where they're all crying. | ||
| It's hilarious. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| And then as soon as the guy puts his gun down, they go, get him! | ||
| And they beat him up. | ||
| Trump said, no dice. | ||
| The feds are there. | ||
| We will not back down. | ||
| The DHS, we will not back down. | ||
| The state said, how about we have our police come in and help de-escalate? | ||
| They said, fine. | ||
| The state police today bailed out. | ||
| They were like, we can't do this. | ||
| You're not prosecuting people. | ||
| We are done. | ||
| Because the riots kept happening. | ||
| Yeah, what's the point? | ||
| So what do you think happens when, if Biden wins? | ||
| Do you think all of a sudden he's going to be like, it's not, it's time to listen, look fat. | ||
| We're gonna crack down. | ||
| Send out these law enforcement officers. | ||
| These things. | ||
| Or is he gonna be like, look fat, people are peacefully protesting. | ||
| Those are firebombs of peace. | ||
| I'm kidding. | ||
| But I think what will end up happening is Joe Biden, like all the Democrats, will just be like, it's like you got a kid in the candy store screaming, I want the Sour Patch Kids. | ||
| And the mom's like, okay, honey, will you be quiet? | ||
| Oh, he's yelling at me. | ||
| Like, instead of being like, shut your mouth! | ||
| Stop yelling in public and telling the kid what to do. | ||
| The Democrats are like, whatever you say, dear. | ||
| While they're screaming and having a temper tantrum. | ||
| At the federal level, Donald Trump is saying, law enforcement. | ||
| The Democrats at the state and city level are doing nothing. | ||
| Yep, and it shows. | ||
| Where was it? | ||
| Was it Utah, where they were like, we are not Seattle, or something? | ||
| Yeah, no, it was, oh, wasn't it Oklahoma City? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Was it? | |
| I don't think that's quite right. | ||
| Yeah, something like that. | ||
| They were like, we are not, it was Tulsa. | ||
| This is not Tulsa. | ||
| Was it Tulsa? | ||
| Yep, this is not Seattle. | ||
| And they like arrested everybody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They did. | |
| Like salted the earth, it was great. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| Alright, we'll read a couple more and then we're getting ready to wrap up. | ||
| Oh man, yeah. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Will Rushing says, did you hear about the military using UFO tech for new equipment? | ||
| Just recently dropped hard to find details. | ||
| Just recently dropped hard to find details. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Oh, cool. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Connor Astrin says, can you put a list of all the books you have? | ||
| That's actually a really good idea. | ||
| Yeah, we'll have to put it together. | ||
| We have a massive amount of books. | ||
| We do. | ||
| And once we get a big shelf, I think we'll do like a high res photo and then catalog them. | ||
| As we, you know, as we pack them to move, we can do that too. | ||
| Yeah, we can catalog. | ||
| We, like, we get some crazy ones. | ||
| Someone sent me, like, a ma- I get manifestos all the time. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Like, it's, wow, it's like, I'll get a packet and I'll be like, it's a manifesto. | ||
| Manifesto. | ||
| And it's like, somebody will type up 100 plus pages. | ||
| I'm really impressed by the amount of work they put into it. | ||
| I don't have any time to read someone's, like, personal 100 page, you know, thing. | ||
| So I, you know, I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything. | ||
| Yeah, much respect for that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Following through on that, that's amazing. | ||
| White balance on the camera. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No blue shirts on the back of chairs. | ||
| It turned her into a tomato, I can't speak. | ||

| Yep. | ||
| Monday, we will be back. | ||
| And of course, I do all my morning segments. | ||
| So for those that don't know this, I think most of you do, I do basically, it's like four and a half hours of recorded content every day. | ||
