| They finally did it! | ||
| It's not the biggest case of a human rights violation I've ever seen, but I had to say it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
L.A. | |
| has authorized the power to be shut off at the home of this dude who is having constant parties, and they said he was violating a public health directive. | ||
| And that to me is just... it's insane. | ||
| And this is just another example of what's been happening to... | ||
| Cities, I'm just gonna say it, I know, maybe it's biased, but Democratic-run cities, it's been a recurring theme, and you look at Republican states compared to Democrat states, Democrat states are falling apart, and now you've actually got the mayor of Los Angeles saying, I have authorized the city to shut down power to this dude's home. | ||
| Now, this guy was super rich, so I get it. | ||
| We got a bunch of other stories to talk about. | ||
| We're going to make fun of the DNC, because as most of you probably know, the DNC is just insanely awful. | ||
| And I've brought in someone very important who can explain a lot of this to us, the guy who literally wrote the book on it. | ||
| We got Jack Murphy. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| You want to introduce yourself? | ||
| Hey, Tim. | ||
| How's it going, man? | ||
| Lydia. | ||
| Hello. | ||
| Nice to see you guys. | ||
| Going very well. | ||
| Jack Murphy. | ||
| Jack Murphy Live. | ||
| JackMurphyLive.com. | ||
| Here I am. | ||
| You literally wrote the book on Democrat to Deplorable, walking away from the Democratic Party. | ||
| I have brought you a copy. | ||
| I see. | ||
| Oh, snap. | ||
| Democrat to Deplorable, just for you, Tim. | ||
| In honor. | ||
| In honor of? | ||
| Me saying that I'm going to have to vote for Trump. | ||
| And I have another chachie for you right here, too. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Democrat to Deplorable mug. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Handy dandy. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Is it clean? | ||
| It is clean. | ||
| It is COVID free. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Wonderful. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| We're going to get Tim to take a sip out of the mug. | ||
| Democrats are deplorable. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| This is magical. | ||
| Monumental. | ||
| Magical sip. | ||
| My work here is done. | ||
| All right, Jack. | ||
| Thanks for coming to the show. | ||
| Have a nice day. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| No, I mean it literally. | ||
| You literally wrote the book. | ||
| You traveled around the country. | ||
| Many of you might actually know Jack because you were the first guest we had on the show back before all this COVID stuff happened. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| January. | ||
| How crazy have things gotten? | ||
| The whole world has changed, but yet it was all so predictable from the jump. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Most people don't realize this, that on the show we did, we actually sat down and wrote down crystal clear, perfect predictions of this year. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| On March 17th, Donald Trump will say these words. | ||
| No, I'm just kidding. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| It wasn't that perfect, but apparently we hit a bunch of, uh, We really did. | ||
| And that comes from our experience. | ||
| You and I both have been living this Antifa, this Black Lives Matter thing, the networked warfare, the politics, the insurgencies, the blue church, the whole thing, the resistance. | ||
| We've been living it on the ground. | ||
| You've been there front line. | ||
| I've been experiencing it like as a participant, you know, getting attacked by Antifa, having cops sent to my house, like having to testify that I'm not a member of the alt-right, all this stuff, getting fired. | ||
| Like we've been in the grind. | ||
| So when, you know, back in late winter, we were talking about what was going to happen this election summer. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was pretty obvious what was coming. | ||
| Man, and I guess someone sent you a list of like all of these things we actually... Yeah, it scares me actually. | ||
| Even China and math and stuff and like all the things about Black Lives Matter and Antifa and the riots and the way it was just gonna flare up. | ||
| And we had even noticed that like Antifa, Black Lives Matter had sort of chilled. | ||
| It wasn't necessarily in the news all the time, rounding out 2019. | ||
| But we knew with the election coming, You know, it feels like when the start of COVID happened, all of this, you know, far left woke, whatever, started to fizzle away because we had real problems. | ||
| But what it seems like is that it was actually just backed up in the hose, and then eventually the pressure built up and it burst out in this massive spray, and now... | ||
| You know, school curriculums are getting leaked of this insane woke stuff. | ||
| They're teaching like seven year olds. | ||
| And I and I've known this because my niece was I was showing one of these, you know, fake woke manipulations to my family. | ||
| My niece goes, oh, I know that picture. | ||
| They taught us that in school. | ||
| And I was like, what? | ||
| She was seven at the time. | ||
| Yeah, man, it's everywhere. | ||
| And these are the issues I cover in the book dating back, you know, years and years. | ||
| And when we used to talk about intersectionality and the way that they were forcing themselves into the universities people used to just poo-poo it as crazy | ||
| college kids right that's just crazy college radicals but people ignored the fact | ||
| that the reason you go to college is to be sort of handed a worldview and to be | ||
| transformed and sent out into society and the university has been taken over by | ||
| people whose explicit goal is to transform every student into an activist whose | ||
| goal is is to destroy the existing order of our country | ||
| And now it's been years and years of them pumping these people out. | ||
| They've been hired in the corporations. | ||
| The corporations have bent to their expectations. | ||
| And now we've got, you know, Goodyear Tired telling people that they can wear a Black Lives Matter shirt to work, but they can't wear a MAGA hat. | ||
| They partially disavowed that. | ||
| I read that thing. | ||
| I read it. | ||
| I parsed it. | ||
| It said that they didn't make that image. | ||
| It doesn't mean anything. | ||
| It didn't mean anything. | ||
| They didn't actually say what it was. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Because what it was was something that they probably sent around to everybody in their whole company. | ||
| So, we've got a bunch of stuff we can talk about for sure, and especially what happened in LA, you know, so we'll get started with talking about these Democrat cities. | ||
| Yeah, let's do it. | ||
| But, you know, I think all of this woke stuff is becoming... Like you mentioned, they entered the corporations, and then all of a sudden, once they had the numbers, it activated. | ||
| But it's in government. | ||
| It's in the military. | ||
| It's in the CDC. | ||
| And so my worry is that... | ||
| They've gained so much ground already in mainstream TV and brands, corporations, and government that regular people are already too scared to do anything about it. | ||
| Maybe, though, the silent majority will rise up and go and vote, you know, straight Republican or something, and that'll push out all of this insanity. | ||
| And that's kind of where I find myself. | ||
| Not as someone who, like, sees myself in Trump or sees what he's doing as something where I'm like, this, you know, we must do it. | ||
| Actually, I'll take that back. | ||
| There's one thing, when Trump tried to pull out of Afghanistan, I was like, I'm gonna vote for that guy, like, because I didn't ask him to do it and he's gonna do it. | ||
| I want that to happen, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I think the best thing, the best chance we have would be Republicans taking everything So that we can get Section 230 reform, hopefully antitrust. | ||
| But I don't trust the Republicans either, to be honest. | ||
| I think Trump is very different. | ||
| But I'm not even convinced the Republicans will do anything. | ||
| I think they're gonna do nothings. | ||
| Well, Heather Haying and Brett Weinstein, they talk on their podcast a lot about the institutional takeover and the co-opting of all these various fields, right? | ||
| So it's not just intersectionalities in the university or in the government. | ||
| It's in like each individual specific academic field. | ||
| It's in mental health. | ||
| It's now creeping into physical health. | ||
| James Lindsay is dealing with it, talking about it, being in math. | ||
| 2 plus 2 is 5? | ||
| I can't believe this! | ||
| No, it's insane. | ||
| So it's actually literally everywhere. | ||
| And when I would talk about intersectionality back in like 2016, people around me, people I loved and respect, they all told me I was insane. | ||
| No one would ever adopt it. | ||
| You're talking about something that's just crazy and arcane and no one really cares about it. | ||
| But we saw the trajectory and it's continuing to go. | ||
| One of the things that I voted for Trump in the first place was for Title IX reform, because Title IX is the place where intersectionality really was able to flourish through that corridor in the universities. | ||
| And so when I voted for him, I wanted him to do that, to remedy that. | ||
| And he took some really positive steps forward with Betsy DeVos and reform there. | ||
| So it's going to take a lot more, though. | ||
| Even if there's a straight Republican landslide, which I don't think is going to happen, it's still going to take years, maybe even decades. | ||
| I think. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| So let's do this. | ||
| If you're just tuning in, make sure you smash the like button, hit the subscribe, hit the notification bell. | ||
| And if you want to hop in the super chats at around 930, we jump over to the super chats, try and grab as many as we can. | ||
| And so we're going to talk about a couple of these things. | ||
| The first thing I got, we got to talk about, man, and this can be a part of just Democrat cities in general. | ||
| But this, to me, is one of the most nightmarish and shocking things I've ever seen an American politician do in my life. | ||
| And maybe that's just my naivety, because I'm 34. | ||
| Maybe something happened at some point. | ||
| I guess, you know, we had politicians literally shoot each other a couple hundred years ago. | ||
| So, mayor authorizes city to shut off power at Hollywood Hills party house. | ||
| Reportedly belonging to TikTok star Bryce Hall. | ||
| Despite several warnings, this house has turned into a nightclub in the hills hosting large gatherings in flagrant violation of our public health orders, Garcetti said. | ||
| So that's just the story. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| He says with more than 2000 Angelenos and over 170,000 Americans lost to COVID-19, we | ||
| need every resident to undertake critical safeguards to stop the spread of this virus. | ||
| That includes not hosting or attending parties that put themselves, their neighbors and many | ||
| others at risk. | ||
| Despite several warnings, the house turned into a nightclub. | ||
| The city has now disconnected utilities at this home to stop these parties that endanger | ||
| our community. | ||
| If we wish to reopen more businesses, return our kids to school or get back to our normal | ||
| lives, we must continue to wear masks, wash our hands frequently. | ||
| And as we're emphasizing today, avoid gathering with others. | ||
| All of these actions save lives. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I'm not super concerned about a rich dude who owns multiple houses and wants to have big parties in the hills. | ||
| electric love because it looks like the power is out. | ||
| I'm just going to say I'm not super concerned about a rich dude who owns multiple houses | ||
| and wants to have big parties in the hills. | ||
| My concern is the precedent being set where the mayor did this and no one said anything. | ||
| And you're never going to see a politician walk out and say I'm going to violate human | ||
| It's gonna start with this. | ||
| Everyone's gonna say, that's okay. | ||
| The next day, he's gonna say, well, what about this celebrity? | ||
| That's okay. | ||
| Within a month, he's gonna be like, this small family, you know, this middle class family, we're turning your power off next. | ||
| They shouldn't have the ability to arbitrarily shut off someone's utilities. | ||
| And I think this story hits at several things. | ||
| One, mismanagement of cities, predominantly run by Democrats, and the authoritarianism that's emerged since COVID, where they think they can do anything. | ||
| And to be honest, nobody's stopping them. | ||
| I think what's so troubling for people, it's all confusing, right? | ||
| Go out and protest. | ||
| It's no problem. | ||
| Have a party at your house. | ||
| That's a problem. | ||
| We're going to let the protest happen. | ||
| Have a gathering at your house. | ||
| We're going to stop it. | ||
| COVID is so bad that we're temporarily suspending all utility shutoffs for people. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Unless we decide we're going to turn off your utilities. | ||
| And that's terrifying to me, man. | ||
| That made me realize that no matter where I am in the city, I have nowhere to retreat to. | ||
| I have nowhere to go where they can't get me. | ||
| They can get me just in my house, in my home, doing whatever I want. | ||
| In Washington DC the other day, there was a party advertised, like flyers on the internet, everything. | ||
| It was like a block party. | ||
| And, uh, there was like a ton of people there and the cops were actually on scene, didn't break it up. | ||
| Really? | ||
| And that what happened there, that was where that mass shooting was. | ||
| So like there was 21 people got shot at this gathering that the cops knew about. | ||
| So what I'm getting at here is that there's just this inconsistent application of the rules and that makes people insane because then they don't know what reality is or how to behave or how to, you know, what we all depend on is, is a predictability by other people. | ||
| And if your government is acting in an unpredictable fashion that could jeopardize your ability to, you know, bathe, feed and clothe yourself and take care of your family. | ||
| Well, that's a very unsettling place to be. | ||
| And where do people take those fears out? | ||
| Maybe they act out, but maybe they're going to do it in the, uh, in the election booth this year. | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| And I think that's going to be if... Man, I'm kind of worried about what happens if Trump loses. | ||
| Because we've seen what these states have done. | ||
| New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania. | ||
| They're putting sick people in nursing homes. | ||
| People are dying. | ||
| You look at what L.A. | ||
| is doing. | ||
| You look at what Oregon is doing. | ||
| Eighty-three nights now they've allowed these riots to go on because the D.A. | ||
| keeps releasing them. | ||
| Apparently, you know, someone emailed me saying, look at the court records. | ||
| Somebody got charged with five felonies. | ||
| The D.A. | ||
| just cut them loose. | ||
| That's how the riots don't stop. | ||
| This is what they are doing. | ||
| I couldn't imagine what would happen if that political party takes control of the executive branch at this time. | ||
| Do you see that viral video from Shasta County, California, where the guy says regular Americans are being peaceful now, but he basically says civil war is coming? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Again, it's this predictability, man. | ||
| I just don't know what's going to happen or what they're going to do to me or where things are going to go. | ||
| And that leaves me very unsettled. | ||
| How do you invest in the future? | ||
| How do you decide to have a family? | ||
| How do you build a community when you don't have any idea the way the law is going to be applied? | ||
| If there's going to be laws? | ||
| It's all up in the air. | ||
| But the troubling thing is really, Tim, I think we just all are acknowledging this. | ||
| Are things going to get worse if Trump loses? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Are things going to get worse if Trump wins? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| That's a little dark though. | ||
| I mean, I don't think electing Trump is going to stop anything. | ||
| He might begin to chip away at some of it, but imagine the reaction. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| You have the other side. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know, it's crazy now. | ||
| They're trying to bring Russiagate back. | ||
| And that just shows you that there's disparate realities. | ||
| But I do think if Trump gets re-elected, he's untethered. | ||
| Right now, his first four years was, do what I can in a tempered way. | ||
| And then when it comes to re-election, unleash the beast. | ||
| And that's what Obama said, right? | ||
| Remember that famous hot mic where he's like, I'll have more flexibility once I get re-elected? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, because they know it's their last term. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think I think lame duck is such a misnomer. | ||
| In fact, it's probably subterfuge when they say that a president's lame duck because he's on his way out. | ||
| No way, man. | ||
| That's when they can be most aggressive. | ||
| That's why all those pardons and I almost said the bad word. | ||
| That's why all those pardons and things happen, you know, at the last minute at the 11th hour. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Right. | ||
| It's because they're on their way out the door and they're less accountable at that point. | ||
| So I, for one, would like to see more aggressive behavior out of Trump. | ||
| I read a fantastic piece in the Claremont Revere Review of Books by Michael Anton. | ||
| And he said, there's not, there's no problem today that more Trump won't solve. | ||
| And I think he's probably right. | ||
| You know, more aggressive towards China, you know, more nationalism, more patriotism, more onshoring manufacturing, all kinds of stuff that he has been hamstrung on. | ||
| In terms of these cities, especially though, Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act, and he could end it overnight. | ||
| I don't know if you saw this, what happened with the guy trying to cut the brakes to the NYPD vehicles. | ||
| Man, no. | ||
| He was accused, I'll say, innocent until proven guilty, I'm a big fan. | ||
| But the NYPD arrested the guy, they had an informant drive him around, he went to a van, he tried snipping the brake line, he didn't. | ||
| They arrested him, local judge cut him loose. | ||
| The feds swooped in immediately and arrested him on federal charges. | ||
| And this was really interesting. | ||
| I'm not a lawyer, but I'm reading this affidavit from the FBI agent and he says that it's their jurisdiction because NYPD vehicles are used for interstate commerce. | ||
| The feds don't have jurisdiction in local affairs and state affairs, but they made one up. | ||
| And it's scary to me because, for one, I don't want the federal government to be able to just arbitrarily assert jurisdiction in state and local matters, but the state is not, they're not prosecuting these people. | ||
| There have been instances in history in which federal assertion of authority domestically using the military was done for a good cause. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I remember watching most recently a documentary on a U.S. | ||
| grant and this guy, he sent the army into the South to end the hangings and to To end the KKK, right? | ||
| Because they were anathema to what we were doing. | ||
| Antifa and these guys, they are anathema to what we are doing. | ||
| There is historical precedent to use force in a way to restore the peace that honors our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and all the things that we hold dear. | ||
| And then, you know, what happens after that is the question. | ||
| I'm not saying I'm advocating for it because, you know, me, Tim, I'm small government. | ||
| You know, I went to Libertarian University, George Mason. | ||
| I hate the idea of the feds getting involved in our business. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But at the same time, if your state is just failing to take care of people's lives and property, life, liberty and pursuit of happiness fail to be protected, then who do you call? | ||
| So the riots, I think, are an easy call. | ||
| But what about what Garcetti is doing in L.A.? | ||
| Do you think Trump, the feds, should intervene and shut down, you know, what they're doing in this capacity? | ||
| I'm not a lawyer, so I'm going to punt that one. | ||
| But what are they going to do? | ||
| They're going to order them to just stop managing their utilities in the way that they see fit. | ||
| I mean, when they wanted to get the drinking age raised to 21 across the country, they withheld, I think, like highway funds, right? | ||
| They're like, we're not going to give you this money to build your highway until you raise the drinking age to 21. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think that worked. | ||
| So there are like levers that you can pull mostly around money. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But imagine if Trump cuts off all the money to California to get them to turn the guy's water back on. | ||
| I mean, it's in a way I would be all for it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You can't turn my I paid my bill like I'm a human being. | ||
| I'm allowed to drink water. | ||
| We all are. | ||
| It's a utility. | ||
| It's a monopoly. | ||
| It's regulated. | ||
| It's there to provide a service. | ||
| And by the way, the official policy is to not cut off Utilities in this time of crisis. | ||
| It's also like the policy is to let people out of jails and they're literally arresting people and putting them in jails for like running a business or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Nothing. | ||
| It's like you said, it's, it's asymmetric enforcement of the law. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And the, and the enforcement is on things that we need as humans. | ||
| For example, we need human interaction, socialization, and community to be happy, healthy, actualized creatures. | ||
| We need that, but they're banning it. | ||
| We need to exercise and work out and be fit and healthy, but they're banning that. | ||
| We need it. | ||
| Why are they attacking all the things that we do to help us, to help our health, to help our sanity? | ||
| But isn't this for the most part Democrats? | ||
| I think it is almost exclusively. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There have been some Republican states that have had lockdowns, but they've been minor or none entirely. | ||
| I mean, South Dakota rejected Trump's stimulus offer because they were like, it's OK. | ||
| Most of our people have returned to work. | ||
| So we don't need the bonus. | ||
| I love looking at South Dakota. | ||
| It is definitely an extreme example, given how big it is and how few people live there. | ||
| Their governor, though, I could definitely see supporting her in the future in some larger endeavor. | ||
| She's got the whole package, man. | ||
| She really does. | ||
| She'd be fantastic. | ||
| I could support her in future elections. | ||
| Kristi Noem. | ||
| You think she won for president? | ||
| I mean, I watched that speech she gave at Mount Rushmore and I was like, I tweeted out that night, when can I vote for you for president? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| They threw a parade for her. | ||
| So for those that aren't familiar, she refused to lock down. | ||
| And South Dakota was one of the, there was this chart released, fact check me on this one. | ||
| I saw this chart and I was talking about GDP. | ||
| All of the states are negative. | ||
| South Dakota was, was like 0.08% positive, like at a time of crisis. | ||
| And like you said, it's an extreme example. | ||
| It's, it's, you know, not so much of a dense population relative to New York or whatever. | ||
| But she did what was right for her state, and the media was relentlessly attacking her, saying it was the new hotspot, it was, you know, COVID was out of control. | ||
| It wasn't. | ||
| I looked at the numbers from John Hopkins, and it was, like, right in the middle. | ||
| So you had the worst state in the country is New York, and then it was, like, ranked 27, South Dakota. | ||
| Like, it's not even—it was right there in the middle, so it's not an outlier. | ||
| But because she was defiant, the media just went, you know, it was just totally relentless. | ||
| I think that's a big, you know, ally of the Democrats, obviously. | ||
| They just push the same narrative. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, the narrative is what matters. | ||
| Facts don't matter. | ||
| Right and wrong don't matter. | ||
| Human rights don't matter. | ||
| Your personal well-being and safety don't matter. | ||
| Your personal happiness and health don't matter. | ||
| Consistency, logic, and reason, they don't matter. | ||
| Honoring the Constitution and the law of the land, that doesn't matter. | ||
| Federalism, that doesn't matter. | ||
| States' rights, that doesn't matter. | ||
| I got a real funny story for you. | ||
| Hit me. | ||
| So, uh, recently a friend of ours who is not from America, you know, I'm, I, you know, we're hanging out and she said, Hey, I have a question. | ||
| The second amendment says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. | ||
| And I was like, right. | ||
| And she goes, then why can't you have a gun? | ||
| And then everyone started laughing because it was like, from the outside, you see the second amendment and you're like, that's clear. | ||
| And then you actually come to the States and you're like, okay, so the constitution doesn't matter. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| We can talk about guns later if you want. | ||
| There's a really big case that came out of the Ninth District that allows for, you know, greater than 10 magazines, round magazines. | ||
| And in D.C. | ||
| where I live, those are strictly prohibited. | ||
| So hopefully that will get turned over. | ||
| Yeah, I think, you know, I bring up Second Amendment more so as a general issue of the Constitution, which is Swiss cheese, is one way to put it. | ||
| I mean, they've punched so many holes in that, it actually scares me how, you know, it really does come back to, more so, the Democrats, but Republicans as well. | ||
| You know, our current system of governance is disrespectful to the Constitution. | ||
| You've got people saying, you know, it's a living document and I respect that because we do amend it and we do make changes and we do interpret. | ||
| But certain things I look at, and I've been much more of a constitutionalist as of the past year or so, especially with how the Democrats have been violating people's rights. | ||
| And I really gotta say, look, maybe it's because I live in New Jersey, and this is probably the worst state in the country. | ||
| In terms of the authoritarian lockdown. | ||
| You know that Adalist gym? | ||
| They're right down the street. | ||
| Oh, is that right? | ||
| Yeah, it's super close. | ||
| And those are the guys who got arrested, had their business license taken away. | ||
| I watched that guy bust down the door to his own gym. | ||
| I love that guy. | ||
| I mean, dude, go for it. | ||
| Like, stand up for what's right. | ||
| So, you know, before we started recording, we were talking about we need meaning in our life. | ||
| And what's interesting about these COVID lockdowns and all this tension is actually giving meaning to some people who are finding it in resisting this shit, this stuff that they're finding meaning in resisting it. | ||
| And like this guy now had a he had a mission of helping people get healthy and fit, but now he's got a mission of standing up for himself and for what's right and for his community. | ||
| Like he's, this guy's inspired and he's willing to take risks and put himself at risk. | ||
| And I admire that. | ||
| I admire people that are willing to stand up for what they believe to be true. | ||
| Not just true today, but like universal truths that transcend history, right? | ||
| Like these people should be free to get healthy. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| If you're fit, you are less likely to get sick and die. | ||
| That's just obvious. | ||
| Now I will, I will add my thing is. | ||
| Follow the law, you know, I guess you can say within reason because I'm actually a big fan of civil disobedience nonviolent | ||
| Because I think that's where we as a society accept people push the line for this guy to kick his door in | ||
| That's nonviolent civil disobedience I mean you could argue that kicking the wood that he put up | ||
| off or I think I don't know if the city did it Or not. Yeah, I think they did. Yeah, you | ||
| You could argue you're getting close into vandalizing property or whatever, but it's a piece of ply board. | ||
| It's his property. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And so I look at this and I look at the Bevelyn Beatty when she threw the paint on the Black Lives Matter in New York. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nonviolent civil disobedience. | ||
| Now, I'll tell you this. | ||
| If we were in normal times and someone showed up and kicked in the ply board on a building and came in, I'd be critical of it. | ||
| Not super critical. | ||
| I'd just be like, you know, look, follow the law. | ||
| There's better ways to do this. | ||
| But now you've got Antifa going around tearing down statues and the Democrats say it's peaceful protests. | ||
| You actually had a state Democrat in Virginia charged with two felonies for conspiring to tear down one of these statues that actually fell on a dude's head and nearly killed him. | ||
| So when you actually have, I mean, you literally have Democrat politicians joining in, planning this stuff, engaging in all this stuff. | ||
| You want me to be critical of a dude who kicked his own, you know, gym door in? | ||
| Or when the Democrats in California are shutting off your access to water. | ||
| The most important thing that we have, water is life. | ||
| You don't get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
None. | |
| And that's, that's, that's where, so, so just to clarify too, they're, they're inching towards it. | ||
| That's my fear. | ||
| I see. | ||
| They've authorized the termination of the utilities here. | ||
| They shut off, it says power. | ||
| I just want to make sure everybody, you know, he straight up said, he said, we'll shut off your power and electricity at a press conference. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| So it's like pointing the loaded gun of a human rights violation at your face. | ||
| And this is them cocking the hammer back when they go to this guy. | ||
| The UN said taking away water from people because they can't afford to pay the bill is a human rights violation. | ||
| But taking it away from them because you want to crack the whip over their head. | ||
| That's okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's okay. | |
| Yeah, that's okay I think one of the things that we're feeling too is just like there's the lawlessness, right? | ||
| So when when they tore down a statue in DC, I was out of town thankfully because God knows if I would have been there I might have been there and what would have happened and I I had this feeling of just being violated and Right. | ||
| There are people just running around the city, tearing things down, destructing things, destroying things, taking the law into their own hands, vigilantes, basically. | ||
| And, uh, when you, when you have this unstability, instability, this unstable feeling, you know, there's, it just disrupts all parts of your life, which is why we all need to focus more on our health and our nutrition and our sleep, because we have to be actually physically strong and resilient to deal with this, because it is a psychological warfare that they're playing on us. | ||
| I don't get it, you know? | ||
| Whether it's intentional or not, in places like New York, this is what I think a lot of people might not realize, especially listening to a show. | ||
| Many of you probably live in suburban or even more rural areas. | ||
| But in New York, you live in a cubicle. | ||
| You live in a tiny box. | ||
| I know people who've got these rooms that's like 10 feet by 10 feet. | ||
| And then some of these places, there's one hotel, I think it's called the Jane. | ||
| Your room is like 8 feet by 10 feet, your hotel room, and it's one big shared bathroom. | ||
| That's a hotel, and it's considered a good one. | ||
| So when you're in, when you live in one of these cubicle style apartments and you barely have a bathroom and now they tell you you can't leave and you're, you're, you're, you're basically in solitary confinement for five months. | ||
| Right. | ||
| These, no wonder they went around smashing everything and looting and destroying everything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Cause they're, it's, it's, it's, it's almost like the, they're testing the stress of the, of the average person in these places. | ||
| Yeah, well, it's a pressure cooker and it's about to pop, man. | ||
| This summer is not over. | ||
| The election isn't over. | ||
| I think there's going to be an even increasing amount of sort of chaos and craziness leading to the election. | ||
| And then God knows what's going to happen, you know, around election time. | ||
| Not that it's going to be decided on Election Day. | ||
| Anyway, I think we should all be prepared for that. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| And I've seen, now there's been that call for the White House siege. | ||
| Did you see that? | ||
| September 17th, I'm going to be there, of course, in my own neighborhood. | ||
| My whole world coming together, all these things I've been working on. | ||
| Antifa, the Democrats are deplorable, MAGA stuff, network insurgencies, open source warfare, all of it happening all at once in my town, in my city, in a place that I know and love where I grew up, where my kids go to school. | ||
| Where I've invested time and energy in the community and like actually in the community and Little League and building schools and actually literally building buildings that people live in in the city. | ||
| Like I couldn't be more invested and it's all converging into one thing that's all happening right here for me. | ||
| So like my life has been on fire the last few months. | ||
| There's no question and I will be down there September 17th. | ||
| And onwards to see what's going to happen. | ||
| Now, I have to stop myself though, from like searching out riot porn. | ||
| Like I would go down to Black Lives Matter Plaza to see what was going to happen and like nothing would happen. | ||
| And there was a small part of me that was a little disappointed. | ||
| I put in the effort, didn't find it, but obviously, you know, no violence is better than anything. | ||
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Um, but so I'm going to reluctantly go down there on September 17th and onwards just to see. | ||
| The world has to know what's happening because the media is not reporting it accurately. | ||
| No question. | ||
| I can't tell you, man. | ||
| Every morning I wake up and I'm like, here's your morning report on the riots, right? | ||
| Because Portland's just been a war zone. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it's not like, you know, I think it's fair to say the group is a couple hundred, but they keep getting released. | ||
| And every article I see from all these outlets are, even Fox News will do this. | ||
| The protesters, the protesters, the demonstrators. | ||
| My favorite thing was when Oregon Live wrote, That it was mostly peaceful for the first hour, then it got violent. | ||
| And I'm like, the story should be that a group of extremists wearing all black showed up, waited till their numbers were large enough, and then started rioting and smashing things. | ||
| Right, it was a staging ground. | ||
| Yeah, just because they were preparing, you call it a peaceful protest because they didn't yet throw the brick? | ||
| They're just getting ready! | ||
| Here's some context. | ||
| I tweeted this out the other day. | ||
| I think the total, unfortunately now, is up to like 30. | ||
| 30 people have died in the riots and the protests. | ||
| Uh, last year I believe the number of unarmed black men killed by the police was somewhere around 12 or 13. | ||
| 13, according to Washington Post. | ||
| Okay, so here we are now halfway through this year. | ||
| More than twice as many people have already died from the response to this thing, which is terrible and a tragedy, of course. | ||
| But you're now, I think, more likely to get killed by an Antifa Black Lives Matter riot than you are as a black, any of us, than you are as a black man getting killed by the police. | ||
| Specifically shot and killed. | ||
| Shot and killed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| OK. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I just say that because... No, it's good. | ||
| It's good. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Let's be precise. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Otherwise, they're going to be like, you're imprecise. | ||
| It was 13, 13 unarmed black men were shot and killed by police last year, according to WAPO's tracker. | ||
| Yes, I saw the whole thing. | ||
| because George Floyd, but you see the body camera footage for the George Floyd incident? | ||
| Yes, I saw the whole thing. | ||
| And it really did change everything that they claimed. | ||
| Yeah, well. | ||
| He kicked his way out of the vehicle. He said, hold me on the ground. He was resisting. | ||
| Yeah, he said he can't breathe before he even got in the car. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So now some people think that that, you know, he was on drugs as I think that's what the autopsy report found. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he probably likely died due to that. | ||
| Not that I'm a fan of these police officers. | ||
| And I think, you know, I wouldn't know what should be done. | ||
| But the narrative is definitely different. | ||
| It's not the narrative they gave us. | ||
| No, but I think that's partially by design. | ||
| Overcharge, getting acquittal, what's going to happen after that? | ||
| More riots. | ||
| More riots. | ||
| Pencil that date in, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Hey, that's like Ferguson all over again. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is it on purpose? | ||
| It feels like it is, you know? | ||
| I, this is the question I ask myself about all this stuff. | ||
| Is it all a diabolical plan or is it a bunch of dummies just stumbling around in the dark, screwing up left and right? | ||
| I think it's the, you know what, man, at a certain point, the absurdity reaches a level where I just, I can't believe it. | ||
| And I am very anti-conspiracy theory. | ||
| My thing is like, if you want to speculate as to what this may be, I'm fine with it. | ||
| But show me the evidence, and then from the evidence, you can make a hypothesis and do like a standard investigation. | ||
| I'm not going to pretend to be perfect, but I don't like conspiracies. | ||
| But I'll tell you this, when I look at some of the things that are happening with these cities, like look at New York. | ||
| They're running out of money. | ||
| The mayor actually supports Black Lives Matter. | ||
| He says things that directly antagonizes the already stressed people. | ||
| Then he says we need money. | ||
| Bill de Blasio mocks the rich people as they leave, which will hurt them more. | ||
| Then he announces he's gonna buy up these empty buildings. | ||
| I'm like, hmm. | ||
| He puts all these homeless people in luxury hotels, causing all the rich people to flee. | ||
| Then I'm going to buy these buildings. | ||
| Then they put checkpoints up all around the bridges and tunnels and, and institute a 14 day quarantine for anyone coming in from certain, from certain States, like 32 or 30, whatever, and a $10,000 fine, which guarantees no tourism. | ||
| So you can't have tourists or your money's gone. | ||
| You've put homeless people and criminals into these hotels, driving away the residents. | ||
| And now you announce you want to buy up the empty buildings. | ||
| It kind of sounds to me like you had a plan. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I would like, there's a part of me that wishes that there was a plan like that, because at least you could admire it, maybe, for its, like, diabolical nature. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| It is for the foresight. | ||
| But, you know, as we were talking about how old we are just before the show, right? | ||
| I'm almost 45, you're almost 35. | ||
| As you get older, you just start to realize people are dumb, right? | ||
| And, like, just because they're governor or mayor or CEO or chairman of the board, Uh, doesn't mean that they're smart, right? | ||
| And just because somebody might be like a homestead farmer or a skateboarder or whatever the case may be, it doesn't mean, you know, they're dumb. | ||
| So there's just, uh, these expectations we have of people. | ||
| I like to think that it's, it's, it's unfortunate stumbling around aggregated up rather than that. | ||
| There's a huge master plan to do all these horrible, terrible, evil things. | ||
| I have redemption for them in my heart, but I know that they don't have it in their heart for me. | ||
| And I think that that is like the ultimate dividing line right there. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I think you're right. | ||
| That, you know, for the most part, they're probably just bumbling around. | ||
| It's hand, limbs, razor. | ||
| Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence. | ||
| But I got to say, when I look at Trump, sometimes I'm just like, there's no way it's all accidental. | ||
| How he ropes and he baits the Democrats so perfectly. | ||
| I mean, you look the other day with the Susan B. Anthony thing. | ||
| I was mad at first, right? | ||
| So you heard he was going to, you know, he announced he was going to pardon somebody. | ||
| I'm all excited. | ||
| You know, I'm texting people. | ||
| Is it going to be Assange? | ||
| You know, texting the people that I know. | ||
| Is it going to be Assange? | ||
| Is it going to be Assange? | ||
| And then I wake up and, you know, it's Susan B. Anthony or whatever. | ||
| And I'm like, what? | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| And then I started seeing the news that came out. | ||
| Susan B. Anthony was a racist, was, you know, a symbol of the pro-life community. | ||
| She's very divisive. | ||
| And I just started laughing relentlessly. | ||
| I just, I was like, and there it is. | ||
| Donald Trump did something so boring that any president would do and they couldn't help but attack him over it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they even denigrated Susan B. Anthony herself. | ||
| And I'm like, was this an accident? | ||
| Did Donald Trump, Not that stuff. | ||
| That stuff is expert. | ||
| That is expert public relations, communications, persuasion. | ||
| I was listening on the way up here to one of my favorite analysts, John Robb, former Special Forces guy, wrote a book, advisor to Defense Department, like knows the military and knows networks better than anybody. | ||
| And one of the things he says about Donald Trump is that he's a master of what he called mental maneuver. | ||
| And so he gets in your head and he disrupts your information flow. | ||
| He disrupts your ability to make sense of the world. | ||
| He disrupts your ability to observe yourself, to orient it. | ||
| He disrupts your ability to decide or to even act by jamming himself into your brain every single day with those tweets. | ||
| And that is his Twitter account is like the most powerful weapon in the world today. | ||
| Uh, in this ongoing open source network, tribal warfare that we're participating in that exists in the information world. | ||
| Not so much in the physical world. | ||
| It's just punctuated by this violence. | ||
| Goodyear tires lost 3% when he tweeted out, don't buy Goodyear. | ||
| It's, it's, it's, he swings the stock market, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So yeah, you know, I look at some of these things and you know, honestly, maybe this one instance with the Susan B. Anthony thing wasn't Trump with any expert plan. | ||
| It's just that it's come to a point where the Democrats just do this and the media just does this. | ||
| Or at the same time, all of our, our heroes are flawed too. | ||
| What do you know? | ||
| And so if you want to find the, this is what I tell people all the time. | ||
| If you, if you look for love, you'll find love. | ||
| If you look for hate, you'll find hate. | ||
| And this is the way I'm trying to persuade my old Facebook fam. | ||
| Like I still waste a little bit of time on there. | ||
| Me too. | ||
| And, and, and it's just, it's basically just kind of trolling. | ||
| Cause it's like people I've known my whole life and they all kind of hate me already at this point. | ||
| But it's like, guys, look for love. | ||
| Don't look for hate. | ||
| Because if you look for love, you'll find it. | ||
| I swear to God. | ||
| This is, I like to say something similar that, you know, we as a society, we take the good things from the past and we get rid of the bad things. | ||
| So yeah, there's probably a lot of people that we look up to who had a lot of really bad things in their history, but we're, the building blocks we're taking for our society are the good things they did, not the bad things. | ||
| In fact, you know, a lot, we see the Antifa going around, smashing up George Washington statues. | ||
| Recently, six people got arrested in LA because he was a slave owner or whatever. | ||
| And I'm like, but we're not putting statues up to him because of that. | ||
| You know, if you want to look at him and see that, that's a mistake. | ||
| We put statues of him up because he helped found a new nation where the people in charge had to receive the consent of the governed. | ||
| That finally, individuals had rights, and it was the, what I call it, planting the seeds of liberty, and those seeds had to be watered by people like Susan B. Anthony, like Frederick Douglass, those who fought in the Civil War. | ||
| We're not putting up the statue. | ||
| We actually fought a civil war over this because we think it's bad, and now we say those things are bad. | ||
| Same is true for Christopher Columbus. | ||
| The dude did a lot of bad things, but he did some things that we, you know, revere. | ||
| Challenged the status quo, went on an adventure, whatever. | ||
| I mean, like, Christopher Columbus, who at that time do you think was going to be in the right mind? | ||
| What kind of person? | ||
| Gets on a boat to sail off into the ocean based on like a scribble and a, and an idea that some, somebody had where there's serpents and monsters, but dude, let's go. | ||
| What kind of guys sign up for a trip like that? | ||
| Right? | ||
| So come on, they're going to be flawed. | ||
| We're all flawed. | ||
| The, the fundamental difference between us and the other guys right now is like, I feel like the people that I hang out with and the people that I sort of caucus with, We understand that there is good and evil in all of us. | ||
| And our job is to try to be as good as we can while fighting the evil inside of us. | ||
| The other side thinks people can be perfect. | ||
| So if you're not perfect, then you're evil and then you're terrible and there's no good in you at all. | ||
| And this is where we're headed right now. | ||
| It's perfectibility of man. | ||
| Forget about that. | ||
| You know what's really interesting about that? | ||
| The left will destroy you over one slight and they will ignore all of the virtues, right? | ||
| But that ultimately results in people who are all hiding. | ||
| You know, I make jokes about the future where everyone's wearing a grey jumpsuit with their heads shaved and you can't carry anything on you. | ||
| Or the bigger joke is that everyone wears this gigantic box over their bodies so you don't know how tall they are, you've got a voice changer, because we've got to eliminate all those things. | ||
| Ultimately, if they will cancel you over, so right now there could be something said by a feminist that in a year will be offensive and they'll pull up the tweet from a year ago and say, you're canceled. | ||
| So all there, all that's going to, it's going to result in are people who don't tweet, don't post, don't speak and just hide. | ||
| And they move around in this dark mass attacking anybody who does. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's it's, it seems like the logical conclusion of whatever it is they are. | ||
| Yeah, so this issue is like come up all through history. | ||
| How do you discuss politics without destroy? | ||
| How do you discuss philosophy without disrupting politics and vice versa? | ||
| And so there are some people that believe that our philosophers over time have like coded their messages in a way to protect themselves from this type of attack and this type of, of, you know, Socrates. | ||
| I mean, he's dead. | ||
| He got killed, right? | ||
| Because they didn't like what he was saying. | ||
| So they learn to like code their language and right now we're, you know, I did it myself. | ||
| I get online and you're like, this is fun. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| I'm just going to say whatever I think. | ||
| You had no idea that this was going to become like the time capsule of your life. | ||
| The canon statement for who you are and the defining moment of your character and your soul. | ||
| Some tweet I sent out to six followers in 2015. | ||
| No way. | ||
| So I think that we all kind of got caught in this moment of, sort of with our pants down, like being exposed without knowing that we had to actually be much more careful about the things that we say. | ||
| We shouldn't have to. | ||
| But these lunatics... | ||
| You know what it is? | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| The violent crazies are what is feared, and so that's why they have power. | ||
| Because regular, rational people don't get violent, don't start conflicts. | ||
| Squeaky wheel gets the grease. | ||
| Absolutely, man. | ||
| Going back to what we were talking about with Christopher Columbus, you know what really breaks my heart is where are these pioneers? | ||
| Where is the modern pioneer? | ||
| You know, about a year ago, I've been looking at expanding and finding new property and getting, you know, so I'm going off in the middle of nowhere. | ||
| It's not as middle of nowhere as I'd like it to be. | ||
| I was actually looking at some central PA, like, you know, Pennsylvania wildlands properties. | ||
| I was looking at cities that were dying because industry was leaving and the population was going down. | ||
| And I'm thinking like, how cool would it be To get a bunch of friends and rebuild industry and create a reason, create... Like, for me, I've got a growing business, you know, hiring people, and so I could easily relocate somewhere and all of a sudden all that revenue lands right there. | ||
| I can hire locals, they can do construction work, it can start attracting new businesses, new cafes, really servicing this area through a new industry. | ||
| So I'm kind of... I've done a kind of compromise where I'm going to be moving to a certain area where it's kind of middle of nowhere and we have that opportunity. | ||
| But I think about the people on those ships that came from Europe or anywhere else, any kind of adventurer or pioneer from any country. | ||
| And they decided, I'm going to get on a boat. | ||
| It's going to be a dangerous journey. | ||
| About 20% of the people on this boat will die because we're going to run out of citrus fruits or whatever. | ||
| And then we're going to land on an empty shore and then try and find food. | ||
| Find 7-Eleven. | ||
| No way. | ||
| Just kidding. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, what kind of person does that? | ||
| People with very little to lose, really. | ||
| Uh, but Tim, I have the same, the same urges that you have. | ||
| I've lived in Washington DC 30 years almost. | ||
| I've, I've dedicated my life to that city. | ||
| And right now, all I can do is just look around and think about getting out of there. | ||
| I've been looking all through Appalachia, actually. | ||
| Uh, someone once told me, I believe just Apple, not just Stan in the sense that like, that | ||
| is where people go to hide out in the hills and to stay away from the invaders and to | ||
| stay away from the marauding forces and the big central government and all that. | ||
| And I've started looking around there and I've been looking at pieces of land, like | ||
| substantial pieces of land. | ||
| And as I was doing this, one of my friends tweeted out like the, the, the plans for a | ||
| medieval town that can hold like 50,000 people. | ||
| You need 90 acres for a walled city that can have 50,000 people. | ||
| You need 90 acres. | ||
| And so that kind of kicked me off down that path. | ||
| But like, I have I have a plan. | ||
| I have a long term plan that involves finding a home base because I do not want the mayor of my town who doesn't like me saying, I'm going to cut off your utilities if you don't stop. | ||
| Maybe that's it. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| A lot of the reason for, you know, emigration from Europe was an oppressive government. | ||
| Religious freedom was a big issue, a lack of opportunity. | ||
| And now I think we're probably seeing that similar crisis, but in a modern framing where we've got overbearing government, a lack of freedom and the opportunity to go somewhere and start something new. | ||
| Is there a new frontier? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, and it's the digital technology that allows us to basically set up these businesses. | ||
| You know, it's really, I love it. | ||
| I'm incredibly honored, all of you watching, seriously, that we can have political and philosophical, cultural discussions, and it's actually an important job to have these discussions, which means there's something being created here. | ||
| I like to think about sourcing resources, going to a coal mine, going to a sulfur mine, whatever. | ||
| You're actually getting something and then delivering it which can be used in a variety of you know different | ||
| industries And I think that what we do is a similar | ||
| Discovery where we're exploring ideas these ideas help people assess their lives and improve their condition | ||
| things like that Meaning Tim we're helping people find meaning because there's | ||
| no meaning in our life It's been stripped away from us We've become so open that we have we're nothing. | ||
| There's no there's no protective barriers There's no healthy membranes that you find in biology you find in complex systems you find in software systems you find it in the solar system and in the universe you find in Protective, healthy membranes that let the things in that you want to let in and keep out the things you don't want to have in. | ||
| That is a perfectly happy, healthy state of nature. | ||
| We require it. | ||
| In fact, if we're completely open and totally interconnected, one thing like a virus could come swooping through and just kill everybody in one second. | ||
| Maybe we need to have healthy distance. | ||
| We need to find, you need to have a home base where you can decide who comes in and who doesn't, and where you can protect yourself. | ||
| This is, this is an essential part of life that we have abandoned. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What if, in that vein, what we're watching is the natural progression? | ||
| We strive towards these big cities because it was easier, it was safer, resources got centralized, but then the bubbles got too big and popped. | ||
| And now, the government we see that emerges from this is a natural consequence of the congestion, of the wealth, of the gluttony. | ||
| And now, with that bubble bursting, people are now craving to go back out and kind of start again. | ||
| So maybe that's like a cycle. | ||
| It is a cycle and we're not the only ones talking about it. | ||
| The tech guys in Silicon Valley are talking about it. | ||
| Balaji's talking about it all the time. | ||
| Our guys in the liminal order. | ||
| Shout out to my guys in liminal order. | ||
| We're talking about this stuff right now. | ||
| We've got a community built, you know, all around the country. | ||
| We've got hundreds of guys and we're all thinking about these same things. | ||
| We've got actual homesteaders, like actual guys homesteading in a group. | ||
| So, you know, I'm not trying to like get out there and just, just be me and some chickens right away. | ||
| But like, I have a multi-year plan where I will end up in a situation like that, where I have my own land. | ||
| That I can defend for myself and for my family. | ||
| That is a base that I can retreat to because I've been attacked, I'm in the city, I've had the cops into my house, I've had people chase me around the city threatening to shoot us, you know, at certain events. | ||
| Like far leftists? | ||
| Like Lacey McCauley and all those Antifa freaks used to follow us around and we'd have parties and like gatherings in DC in 2016, 2017, 2018. | ||
| And, uh, you know, I mean, look, and then across the street from my house, there's a park, there's like a Corona testing center there every day now, which is like, yeah, we need to test, but it's like, why do I have to be where there's people getting shot all the time where there's a mass shooting in DC and nobody flipping cares? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know, I was one of the first people to pick that out of the local, it was in the local public safety section of Washington Post. | ||
| And I got it out there and I saw it go get retweeted up the chain. | ||
| All of a sudden Matt Walsh was talking about it. | ||
| And then by two o'clock, I was tweeting about it. | ||
| And then by two o'clock people, and then by, by, by eight o'clock, it's on Tucker. | ||
| Not that he wouldn't have found out about it, but you know, it's like you see the whole cycle happen and there's people getting shot in my neighborhood. | ||
| And then there's the, the sick people are right across the street and everyone around me. | ||
| I know if they knew who I was, they would hate me. | ||
| I mean, my landlord tried to get me out of there back when I was getting doxxed because his wife follows Antifa. | ||
| She believed it. | ||
| So we're under siege, man. | ||
| And it just doesn't feel good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So for those that aren't familiar, I mean, you basically got a kickstart because they canceled you. | ||
| They lied about you. | ||
| They smeared you. | ||
| These far leftists posted out of context photos to try and destroy your life. | ||
| Yasher. | ||
| Yasher did it. | ||
| And he promised me that he would make amends and he never did, that guy. | ||
| I thought you were going to do a conversation. | ||
| Oh my God, we were supposed to do a podcast. | ||
| We talked on the phone. | ||
| He was an integral part of the doxxing that happened to me and he apologized to me on the phone, said he was going to write an essay about canceling cancel culture. | ||
| He said he was going to come on my podcast and then he just let that all go. | ||
| And then do you see what he did recently with that Republican dude who went on the World War II Germany tour? | ||
| Yeah, shameful. | ||
| Yeah, so he's a journalist. | ||
| He's like, you know, New York Mag Huffington Post, I think. | ||
| And a lot of people seem to have a lot of respect for him, but I've sort of lost it a little bit. | ||
| He recently, I mean, aside from what he did to you, he recently called out this young Republican guy. | ||
| Do you know his name? | ||
| The Republican? | ||
| Yeah, Madison Cawthorne. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What was his name? | |
| Madison Cawthorne. | ||
| Madison Cawthorne. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So he went to, there's that famous place in Germany, I guess, where the allies drank wine celebrating the defeat of Hitler. | ||
| And so he had an Instagram post where he was like, this is so cool, and Yasha framed it as though he was celebrating being in Hitler's location, as opposed to where the Allies ended the war. | ||
| He even called Hitler a supreme evil, but it doesn't matter to these cancel culture people. | ||
| They find something they can misframe or latch onto, boom, there you go. | ||
| But again, it's about meaning, dude. | ||
| It's about people looking for meaning. | ||
| They think that they're slaying dragons. | ||
| They think that they're killing evil people because they've, they've, they believe they're in a religion that says, if you're not with us, you're against us. | ||
| And if you're with us, you're good. | ||
| And if you're against us, you're literally evil because what we're fighting for is justice. | ||
| And if you don't believe in our justice, then you are. | ||
| Against justice and who likes that? | ||
| Nobody. | ||
| It's not just a differing way of seeing the world or different opinions on things. | ||
| This is fundamental. | ||
| Us versus them. | ||
| In versus out. | ||
| It's because we have no unifying story as our country anymore. | ||
| Not to get too deep. | ||
| I think social media did that. | ||
| Everybody found different pockets and now they're fractured and isolated. | ||
| But I'll tell you what, though, all this, I'm just thinking, like, I'd love to just go farming, have some chickens and just start raking, just, you know, tilling the land. | ||
| The last two books I bought, one was called Micro Farming and the other one was Get Off the Grid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And all, the only TV I watch right now, Homestead Rescue on Discovery. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I love the Rainey family. | ||
| If I ever have a Homestead Rainey family, please come to it. | ||
| It's amazing watching these people who are braving the Ozarks and Appalachians and Alaska and Canada trying to live off the land. | ||
| That to me is like the most exciting thing in the world right now because the rest of the stuff has just gotten so You could do a vlog filming like, here's how you farm. | ||
| Here's what we're doing. | ||
| Here's our plan and documenting it. | ||
| I mean, you're watching it right now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, people would love that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I want to get into, because the DNC is happening right now. | ||
| It is? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who knew? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Convention? | ||
| The convention's live. | ||
| We're competing with it. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So check it out. | ||
| We're doing just fine. | ||
| We're competing with it. | ||
| I want to show this story. | ||
| Briefly talk about it. | ||
| Oh, what was that? | ||
| Oh, you disconnected. | ||
| Can you push it back in? | ||
| There we go. | ||
| That was weird. | ||
| Ooh, weird. | ||
| Everyone probably just got their ears blown out. | ||
| Sorry everyone. | ||
| So, uh, let's, I want to talk about this story and then I want, you're out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What just happened? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just touched it. | ||
| Oh, you're good. | ||
| You're good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| It's actually not in. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| You want me to look at it? | ||
| Can you talk? | ||
| Is it working? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm going to come fix it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Come fix it. | ||
| So I'll just start talking because for some reason Jack's mic popped out. | ||
| We've been having a bunch of weird technical difficulties because we, we kind of did a room upgrade and you don't really get space for, uh, this might hurt your ears. | ||
| Yeah, so just push it in. | ||
| Is it in? | ||
| This is weird. | ||
| Keep going Tim. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm talking to it. | ||
| All right, I'm back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's back. | |
| Jack is back. | ||
| There you go, everybody. | ||
| Sorry about that. | ||
| My big, meaty hands breaking things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what it probably was is the cables, my cables go into the stand. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| And so when someone moved it, it pulled it out. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| But take a look at this story. | ||
| Let's actually move on. | ||
| We're live, people. | ||
| Yeah, it happens. | ||
| The DNC had to disable the chat room after trolls crash Warren appearance at Native American caucus meeting. | ||
| There is so much wrong with this headline. | ||
| Elizabeth Warren was put on the Native American caucus for the DNC. | ||
| There is a DNA test? | ||
| Yeah, she did it. | ||
| She released the DNA test and the number was she was half? | ||
| Okay, there you go. | ||
| And it just doesn't matter. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| I can't believe they did this. | ||
| So I highlight this, not because we need to rehash everything they did. | ||
| They had to disable the chatroom, but the DNC's been digital. | ||
| And that, I think, they've made so many mistakes. | ||
| They didn't realize everyone was going to come and rag on them, was going to give them thumbs down and relentlessly attack them. | ||
| And somehow they're, like you were saying, they're bumbling around like morons slipping on banana peels. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| They put Elizabeth Warren on the Native American caucus panel. | ||
| What? | ||
| That's such a slap in the face. | ||
| They've already complained about this. | ||
| The Native American community has already said, this is ridiculous. | ||
| We have tons of thoroughly vetted actual Native Americans. | ||
| This is a mockery. | ||
| And for them to just ignore that and carry on, it's like, wow, you guys really care about minorities. | ||
| So this brings us back to the diabolical or just dumb. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| They're intentionally forgetful, at least. | ||
| Diabolical or dumb. | ||
| That's like a whole sequence. | ||
| It's a whole segment. | ||
| This one's got to be dumb, right? | ||
| This one's got to be dumb. | ||
| No, but listen, listen. | ||
| No, it's got to be diabolical because they all have seen the freaking test. | ||
| And it was a meme. | ||
| Like, listen. | ||
| When I was recording this on my main channel over at youtube.com slash TimCast, my main segment was on the failures of the DNC because last night was, the night before last was insanely bad with that weird, you see that dancing thing the guy did? | ||
| What are they doing? | ||
| Awful. | ||
| Yeah, it's just like freshman high school talent show production. | ||
| Just really bad. | ||
| It looked like those old YouTube videos. | ||
| Then last night, they put Elizabeth Warren on the Native American caucus, and I'm thinking to myself, how could this be an accident? | ||
| How could this be an accident? | ||
| It's not. | ||
| It's not an accident. | ||
| The funny thing is, they're basically like just boomerang all over this thing. | ||
| They're like, hey, we're going to have a chat room. | ||
| Right, right, right, right, right. | ||
| That's not going to go well. | ||
| And I think I saw Matt Taibbi, a former Rolling Stone guy, I think he called it, I tweeted it out, he called it a neocon telethon. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is basically what it felt like. | ||
| And I only took a peek in a couple of times, you know, because You got to see what's going on. | ||
| But it is as bad as you think it would be. | ||
| Then it's actually worse. | ||
| And I think this actually gives the Republicans a little leg up. | ||
| What not to do. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's pretty obvious what not to do. | ||
| Don't do this. | ||
| It's terrible. | ||
| It's terrible. | ||
| And all the polls are closing now. | ||
| They're all tightening up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| As they keep coming out. | ||
| Trump's trailing Biden by about one point in a bunch of battleground states, according to CNN. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's margin of error territory. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| CNN showed like a 10 point closure or nine point closure over the last month. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| CNN did. | ||
| Because when Biden shows his face, it's bad news. | ||
| I think Harris has something to do with that as well. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| What a disaster. | ||
| So, you know, particularly I wanted to highlight this for one, because the DNC is just an insane disaster. | ||
| I have to question whether it's on purpose or not, like they're trying to lose. | ||
| But I do think it's a good way to dive back into, for people who might not be familiar with you, you wrote the book on leaving the Democratic Party. | ||
| The OG, like you're the first person to explore this, leaving the Democratic Party, writing a book about it, asking people why they did it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So when I look at this stuff, I have to ask, is it kind of like this is, you know, contributing factor? | ||
| Uh, you know, the, the bumbling boomer ism is something that I can laugh. | ||
| I can laugh at right now, but you know, honestly, the, the reasons for leaving the Democrats just run so much deeper. | ||
| They run so much deeper. | ||
| And, and, and I wrote the book in, in the aftermath of 2016. | ||
| So it's almost four years old now. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And, and everything, every trend, every concept that we identified in there. | ||
| From intersectionality, to the network warfare, to the social media lack of cohesion, to political correctness, which is really like a version of mind control. | ||
| All these things that I outlined in depth there have just continued to worsen and it continued to come on display. | ||
| I wrote that book sort of thinking it was niche back then, even though 9 million people voted for Obama and then for Trump. | ||
| But you know the attention on it was niche, but now all the issues there. | ||
| They are the issues at this point anti-globalism bring home the troops, you know, let's focus on on shoring manufacturing back to the United States. | ||
| China is actually a threat. | ||
| Oh my God, like they're trying to steal from us and our eat our lunch and poisonous all the same time. | ||
| And just also a real big focus in the book on college campus culture, Title IX, intersectionality. | ||
| And I came up this way. | ||
| I went all through Pennsylvania, interviewed people in South Central Pennsylvania and up in the Lehigh Valley as well. | ||
| And did a national survey. | ||
| So it's like filled with actual data, actual research, actual interviews, plus a lot of personal stories in there, too. | ||
| And, you know, I don't see anything having changed from that. | ||
| All the factors that led to nine million people ditching the Democrats and voting for Trump, they've all those trends have only worsened. | ||
| I don't know very many people who made the switch were like, I'm fed up with Trump. | ||
| Forget about I'm going back to the Democrats now. | ||
| I don't think that that's a real phenomenon. | ||
| But as we have seen, the Democrats are continuing to lose what people might call the center. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, when when you're losing guys like the Weinsteins and you're losing, you know, the Rubin was a little bit late on the game. | ||
| You know, when when some of our most favorite formerly progressive journalist YouTube stars Also are leaving the leaving the left. | ||
| It is a it is a trend that the thinking I think it's a thinking man's decision. | ||
| There's a real component to the Trump Network that is a very intellectual very well-thought-out well-considered forward thinking. | ||
| attached to the grand conversations of our lifetime and of humankind, really, and looking | ||
| to extend those in our American experiment. | ||
| And we see what's happening to the Democrats, the 2020 Democrats, as being, you know, contrary | ||
| 100 percent to the American project. | ||
| And we have to fight against that. | ||
| It is literally 2016 over again. | ||
| The same projections are coming out. | ||
| It's the same. | ||
| Same strategy. | ||
| It's the same. | ||
| The only thing that's different is that Biden is a worse candidate than Clinton. | ||
| And Kamala Harris is even less likable. | ||
| Even less likable. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, well. | |
| And Trump has been president for four years and is the incumbent. | ||
| So if everything is the same except for those elements, I don't see how Trump loses. | ||
| And man, if the popular polls are tightening this early, At this point of the election, where I think I saw Cernovich mention that they must know it's coming in a bad way if they're starting to reflect reality this early in the season. | ||
| Donald Trump bought the most expensive ad space in digital. | ||
| You heard the story? | ||
| Yeah, the YouTube homepage. | ||
| The YouTube homepage banner. | ||
| This is multi-billion views per month. | ||
| And the New York Times said he was able to do it because the Democrats didn't buy their ad space during their own convention. | ||
| I can't believe that. | ||
| During their own convention, where they're publishing on YouTube, they didn't buy their own ad space. | ||
| I was reading the story, and I was like, if Donald Trump buys this during their convention, how is that possible? | ||
| They must not have bought it. | ||
| And I read it, and I'm like, there it is. | ||
| They must know they're going to lose. | ||
| So like I was saying earlier, you know, you got Biden and Harris. | ||
| You're at home. | ||
| Your friend hits you up and says, yo, we're going out. | ||
| You're in a rush. | ||
| Your socks are dirty. | ||
| So he's grabbed two random out of the drawer. | ||
| One's old ratty and one's like a weird, you know, sock. | ||
| You don't care because you're not trying to impress anybody, Dairy Queen. | ||
| So that's what it feels like. | ||
| It does. | ||
| It feels like when I would go out of the house with flip-flops and socks on. | ||
| Yes, exactly what it's like. | ||
| You know, I get all dressed up for work. | ||
| I'm sure you do. | ||
| When I'm walking down the street to drop something in the mailbox, it's flip-flops, it's shorts, I slept in this dirty shirt, it's stretched out and sweaty and I don't care. | ||
| That's what it feels like. | ||
| That is what it feels like. | ||
| And I saw a report, I'm not exactly 100% sure if it's accurate, but it was in the mainstream media that Obama, despite amassing enormous amounts of post-presidential wealth, has not donated a single penny to the Biden campaign. | ||
| And if I remember, his endorsement of him was tepid and it was, I think, only after it was clear that he was going to become the winner. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| a mansion in the tiniest part of Washington, D.C. that is literally walking distance to | ||
| the White House. | ||
| OK, he didn't get out of town. | ||
| He stayed there. | ||
| He's worth gazillions of dollars. | ||
| And he's relatively young man. | ||
| You don't think he's sitting around there trying to you don't think he's pushing all | ||
| this. | ||
| I think that he among over everybody may know how incompetent and bumbling Joe Biden is. | ||
| The report came out from Politico and several other outlets that he said Joe doesn't have it. | ||
| My favorite was, don't underestimate Joe's ability to F things up. | ||
| Oof, spicy. | ||
| So at the DNC, they actually played one of these like, it was a cringy B-tier, you know, dollar store knockoff walkaway of former Trump voters now voting Democrat. | ||
| And it just felt plastic and fake. | ||
| I don't believe it. | ||
| I don't because every time, you know, I talk to, I have a lot of friends who are still just not paying attention. | ||
| And they're definitely, you know, voting for Joe Biden. | ||
| But I have some friends who... Man, I was on Facebook earlier, and these two guys that I know from back in my hometown were arguing, and one dude was just giving these really dumb meme talking points about Orange Man Bad, and the other dude, who's just a guy, a family guy, was saying all these things about China and about intersectional, and I was like... | ||
| This guy knows what he's talking about. | ||
| I was like, wow, to see like dudes from my hometown being, I don't, I guess you call it red-pilled, whatever. | ||
| They're, they, they know what's going on. | ||
| They're paying attention. | ||
| They've been, they've been politically activated, arguing with these other guys who are just dead set on being in the tribe of the Democrats. | ||
| So so that's it. | ||
| It's the tribes now. | ||
| So here's what I'm thinking with your book. | ||
| You found nine million people. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| There were nine million people. | ||
| You found many of you. | ||
| You talked to them. | ||
| You wrote this book about it. | ||
| I have to imagine the number is going to be bigger this time around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It has to be. | ||
| It has to have to write a follow up there. | ||
| I am going to write a follow up. | ||
| The thing is, I don't know how it's going to end yet. | ||
| So right. | ||
| So like it's prepared. | ||
| In fact, I've got like 10 books that I could write, really. | ||
| But there will be a follow up to this, of course, seeing how Yep. | ||
| things shake out. But I just I have not heard one credible argument from somebody who did | ||
| vote for Obama and then for Trump who thinks that was a bad decision and I want to return. | ||
| Biden is just as Hillary was literally Obama part three and they're not hiding it. It's not even a | ||
| secret. So we have the same choice again and even this time even more so when they bring people like | ||
| Kasich and and Colin Powell and other Republicans to the DNC. | ||
| It only just shows that the Democratic Party is actually the part of the Uniparty which is | ||
| actually who part of the GOP establishment is as well. And so if you want an alternative from the Uniparty | ||
| there's only one person to choose. | ||
| I posted a meme a few years ago, and it's this stock image of a guy and a girl, and the guy's got his arm around the girl, but then his other hand is behind, it's like, she's got his arm around him and his hand is going behind the couch and holding the hand of another woman. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, I've seen this. | ||
| Right, so the meme is like, the Democrats say all these really nice things to you, and really, the Uniparty, it's the establishment. | ||
| This is why I think it's weird that so many of the progressives have joined in the rock throwing with the Democratic establishment. | ||
| Because the never-Trump-or-Republicans establishment ran, you know, tails between their legs to the Democratic establishment saying, help, help, we've been kicked out of our house. | ||
| And then the progressives, hating Trump, said, we'll throw rocks with you. | ||
| And my thing's like, if Trump wins another four years and actually succeeds in crushing the establishment, then the progressives have a clean shot at 2024. | ||
| I think that's what they're thinking anyway. | ||
| So are they going to vote for Trump too? | ||
| Well, staying home, sort of the same thing, if they were dyed in the wool and had ordinarily voted Democrat. | ||
| This theory raises the question, who do they have on the bench that would have been the person, if they were serious, let's say, who would have been the person that they would have run this year? | ||
| And I've said all along, you don't want to lose to Donald Trump. | ||
| That will ruin your credibility. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So I think the Democrats. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Sounds like they might be throwing it. | ||
| There's a number of reasons why you would feel like it. | ||
| But that theory also then includes like, OK, well, who is their secret weapon? | ||
| And I don't know who Michelle Obama. | ||
| I mean, that's my first thought. | ||
| You know, it seems to make sense. | ||
| You know, we're not conspiracy theorists. | ||
| We're conspiracy analysts. | ||
| I just read that somewhere. | ||
| That's not my quote. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And and so, you know, in order to round that theory out, I would try to figure out who that person is in the background. | ||
| Maybe we don't know who it is just yet, but I can't think that this is any this Biden. | ||
| I'm going to keep calling her Kamala Harris. | ||
| A ticket is is is like their best shot at a winning coalition. | ||
| I think it's their worst shot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think it really feels like they sat down in a room and said, we don't want, we don't even want to waste Buttigieg, you know, he's a small town mayor, but he's got more than Biden does. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So if we're planning to lose, what's the bottom of the barrel that we don't care? | ||
| Well, I mean, Harris dropped out of the, I mean, who knows why she dropped out? | ||
| Maybe she dropped out of the, uh, the, the primary because she knew she was going to be the beep all that time ago, but also she was performing very poorly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Right. | ||
| So they just added like the worst performer to the ticket. | ||
| So what sense is that? | ||
| Based on her identity. | ||
| Which isn't even the one that they said they were going to pick, right? | ||
| That's not what they said, yeah. | ||
| So my first thought when they picked Kamala was like, it's over. | ||
| It's done. | ||
| This is great. | ||
| This is the perfect person they could have chosen to make sure that Trump gets elected again. | ||
| And I don't know if that was their plan, but the more I thought about it, the more I was like, maybe, maybe 2024 is where it's at. | ||
| And they're just resigned. | ||
| And I don't even know if they're thinking that far ahead, though. | ||
| Because in my experience, people tend to not think that far ahead. | ||
| Diabolical or dumb. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You should write another book. | ||
| Dumb or Diabolical. | ||
| And you could do that now. | ||
| And then you could write Democrat to Deplorable, you know, part two. | ||
| Part two. | ||
| It's coming. | ||
| It's a phenomenon. | ||
| So the Democrat is a horrible book isn't just stories about people. | ||
| I mean, it is a philosophical moral justification for why voting for Donald Trump was essential. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's about defending reality. | ||
| Basically, it's about defending Western civilization. | ||
| Basically, it's about defending the Enlightenment and rational thinking. | ||
| and natural rights of man that span all epochs of history. | ||
| They're universal rights that are part of the grand ongoing human conversations that are being completely thrown to the side and destroyed by the Democrats. | ||
| So there's real reasons to do that. | ||
| And so these are structural forces at work, tectonic plates. | ||
| They're not going to stop. | ||
| They're not going to turn on a dime. | ||
| It's going to keep going and grinding. | ||
| And we're just waiting for that earthquake. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And Donald Trump wasn't even just that. | ||
| He was he is a weapon that was launched by the sort of insurgent network. | ||
| But the earthquake hasn't happened yet because we're all still sort of moving in this same tense lockstep thing, feeding off each other with no clear winner and no clear new direction. | ||
| You know what I'm finding fascinating right now? | ||
| We had this, in 2018, you had the squad. | ||
| The rise of the squad, you know? | ||
| So you've got Ilhan Omar, Ana Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib. | ||
| Most of the progressives did poorly in the Democratic primaries. | ||
| Or in their actual, yeah, in their primaries. | ||
| I think it was out of 78, 7 actually won. | ||
| And they got endless press coverage. | ||
| AOC, the new celebrity. | ||
| She was the one. | ||
| She got 8.3 million followers. | ||
| But right now we're seeing a ton of Republican primaries with new kind of populist pro-Trump candidates winning. | ||
| A lot of Republicans retiring. | ||
| So Byron Donalds, for instance, if you're familiar. | ||
| So I think he's in Florida's 19th. | ||
| He's a pro-Trump black conservative. | ||
| Someone tried pulling this illegal stunt where they sent out fake texts. | ||
| Did you see this? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, I heard about it, but I don't know the details. | ||
| Faked text messages got sent out saying he dropped out of the race on the day of the election. | ||
| And that's a dirty trick. | ||
| He ended up winning his primary. | ||
| But it's an R plus 13 district, which means he's in. | ||
| A pro-Trump member of Congress. | ||
| It looks like we're seeing a bunch of these stories about Trumpian type... You're laughing because you're looking at the story we got ready to go? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Well, we'll get to it. | ||
| We'll get to it. | ||
| So we're going to talk about Laura Loomer for sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But it looks like we're seeing this phenomenon on the right, same as we see on the left, with a new kind of populist insurgent base coming in and pushing out the establishment politicians. | ||
| The media doesn't go after it the same way they go after the Squad. | ||
| The Squad is magic. | ||
| You know, 8.3 million followers for AOC, she's the star. | ||
| But we've got a bunch of conservatives that have been stepping up to the plate, you know, saying, something's gonna be done, I'm gonna do it. | ||
| And specifically, this is a segue into Laura Loomer as kind of the Democrats' reckoning. | ||
| You know, not necessarily just the Democrats, but the establishment elites, the tech, technocrats, they tried shutting Laura Loomer down, and now she's won her primary. | ||
| She's in a D plus nine district, so I'm wondering if she can actually win. | ||
| I'm not just doing this, you know, segment to be like, I mean, first of all, I think it's amazing she won her primary. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| Yeah, and she is, I think she's probably the most driven person I've seen. | ||
| I'm not even kidding. | ||
| You can criticize all of her stunts after being banned from every single platform. | ||
| She just does not stop. | ||
| And now she's, you know, the primary, she's the Republican nominee for this district. | ||
| We'll see if she wins. | ||
| But the bigger issue at play involving her is this story right here. | ||
| Twitter maintains ban on candidate Laura Loomer. | ||
| They say, Politico says, Loomer is a far-right activist whose confrontations with journalists and political figures helped her amass an online following. | ||
| They say, quote, the account owner you referenced was permanently suspended for repeated violations | ||
| of the Twitter rules. We do not plan to reverse that enforcement action, the company said in a | ||
| statement. Now they're going to go on and talk about why she was banned, but I don't necessarily | ||
| trust them. | ||
| Politico's big picture says social media companies have at times given political figures more leeway when their speech violates rules so the public can hear directly from their representatives. | ||
| But it seems that won't be enough to get Loomer tweeting again. | ||
| Do you know what was the, like the final nail in the coffin for her on Twitter? | ||
| I think it was, was it the Uber thing? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It was the Ilhan Omar. | ||
| Oh, was it? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| About wanting to see like another 9-11 or something like that? | ||
| No, she said that Ilhan Omar supports Sharia law. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| And that under Sharia, you know, these different groups are marginalized and oppressed. | ||
| And that was it. | ||
| And I said, you mean to tell me out of everything she's done, it was the criticizing a politician that got her the axe on this platform? | ||
| I mean, that's what all the politicians are doing to each other all the time. | ||
| And now she's actually a politician. | ||
| And they won't restore her. | ||
| That's the precedent. | ||
| This is this is going to put the squeeze on them. | ||
| It's going to make them as blatant put their hypocrisy out there as blatantly as possible. | ||
| But if there's one thing that we've learned so far, there's no shame. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And and they always double down. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| There's no backtracking. | ||
| There's no compromising. | ||
| There's no. | ||
| You know, my bad on that one. | ||
| No, they have to double down. | ||
| So it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. | ||
| But I just want to say one thing about Laura Loomer. | ||
| I met Laura Loomer back a long time ago, years ago, when she just had literally a couple thousand followers and she was at Project Veritas. | ||
| And it was clear to me then that she had an unstoppable will to succeed. | ||
| There is absolutely no question about that. | ||
| She told me that she was getting anxious, being at the desk and wanted to get out there and do stuff. | ||
| And well, guess what, man? | ||
| She got out there. | ||
| She did stuff. | ||
| She got banned. | ||
| She did more. | ||
| She's punk rock. | ||
| She, she like co-opted the system, you know, quick side note, I went to Evergreen state college to speak at a class there. | ||
| And I thought that this was going to be an excellent like news event for me. | ||
| So I go all the way out to Washington. | ||
| I speak at an Evergreen state college right after the Brett Weinstein, all that stuff, right? | ||
| Nobody knows. | ||
| You want to know why? | ||
| Well, not maybe this is the only reason, but you want to know what happened the day that I'm at I'm at Evergreen. | ||
| Jack Murphy, Democrat to Deplorables, at Evergreen State College, here to be a part of the whole conversation, the Weinstein thing, the whole thing. | ||
| That very day, Laura Loomer chains herself to the front door of Twitter, and she hijacked all of Twitter, trending number one. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| So she knows, and she's driven, and I would not doubt her ability to see this thing all the way through. | ||
| And if she gets in, who knows? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| So kudos to Laura on that win. | ||
| Congratulations, Laura. | ||
| I mean it. | ||
| Yeah, I don't follow her policy-wise. | ||
| Yeah, me neither. | ||
| I think she's absolutely been, she's said bombastic things on social media and she's been criticized for it, but to the people who underestimated her, boy are they gonna get a reckoning now. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| I think she very well could win. | ||
| I'm pretty sure she's betting on it. | ||
| When she announced she was running and I saw this, I was like, she's in a D plus 9 district? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is that, I'm like, what's the strategy behind that? | ||
| Well, it's Trump's Mar-a-Lago district. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I think when you have a will of pure fire, like she does... No, I mean, it's funny because for all the things she's been made fun of, all the stunts she's done, it's all worked. | ||
| Yep, indeed. | ||
| And so it's funny when people laugh. | ||
| And I'm like, you realize it's part of the game. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| When she chained herself to the door of Twitter and everyone on Twitter is laughing, it's like they banned her and then she dominated the platform. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| You underestimate your enemy at your own peril. | ||
| Well, it's an interesting sort of thing to look at on a bigger level, which is if you want to be either an activist, a journalist, a media person, and you're coming into it with no established professional network, you don't have corporate backing, you're not just, oh, I got hired at New York Times and I got a blue check with 50 followers. | ||
| You, you have to earn it. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| You have to earn it. | ||
| And one of the ways people ask me, how do you grow on Twitter? | ||
| And I'm like, and I read these guys like tweet every day and add value. | ||
| I'm like, nah, that's not going to do it. | ||
| You have to literally become the news. | ||
| You have to like make the news happen or become something we're talking about or become an event. | ||
| And Laura went out there and she, she earned all this, all this attention through her work. | ||
| So whether or not you agree with our policies or whatnot, it is sort of a good example of new media, like how to build how to build that capital. | ||
| Think about the amount of, I don't know what you'd call it, strategy, whatever, to take over the news cycle. | ||
| Yeah, more than once. | ||
| I know, yeah, repeatedly. | ||
| And so when I see these journalists laughing and making fun of her, I'm like, you realize that's the point. | ||
| She just made you all give her all of your attention. | ||
| And that's a lot of what got Trump elected was that the media couldn't shut up about him. | ||
| Made you look. | ||
| And now sure enough, Laura Loomer is winning the primary. | ||
| Well, one of the key fundamental elements of persuasion is attention. | ||
| Attention is influence, right? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So she's getting that attention and she is earning her influence. | ||
| What she does with it, we'll see. | ||
| But it is a good example of how to build Capital and power within an environment which is already saturated. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's already a million players. | ||
| Everybody has a phone and a Twitter account except for Laura. | ||
| And and and yet you know she made her way all the way up from from zero to this through sheer force of will in only a matter of a couple of years. | ||
| Yeah, 630,000 followers on Parler though. | ||
| Outstanding. | ||
| So once, you know, given access to a new platform with followers. | ||
| But the reason I did want to bring up Laura is not, you know, to necessarily get into the controversy over, you know, her character. | ||
| No, it was specifically how she should absolutely be reinstated. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| This is actually, this is very, very worrying that we come to a point now You could be 16 years old and get banned from Twitter because you're a dumb kid. | ||
| Now you're in your 30s and you're cut out from political life because the social media platforms where people use for commerce, for communications, have banned you from past discretions. | ||
| That to me is scary. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Shouldn't she at least be allowed to have a campaign account that's run by staff that tweets policy ideas? | ||
|
unidentified
|
100%. | |
| I think so for sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now we're seeing the future that's being carved out by these lunatics. | ||
| And I think Jack Dorsey, you know, I think he's a figurehead. | ||
| I don't think he has any real power. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He whispers all the sweet nothings in the world about decentralized social media and paths to redemption that never come to fruition. | ||
| Instead, it's a publicly traded company that is desperate for a clean image and will nuke anybody who they think threatens their advertising and their dollars or their stock value. | ||
| They don't care about politics. | ||
| They don't care about civic duty. | ||
| They don't care about the presidency, our government, keeping our country safe. | ||
| They said it to me, they're a global company. | ||
| I get emails and it's like, your tweet was reported, but we found no violation of German law. | ||
| You ever get one of those emails? | ||
| Not from a different country, no. | ||
| I get it from America, definitely, but not about German law. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've received emails that says, your account was reported, but we found no violations of German law. | ||
| It means people in Germany are reporting it. | ||
| I have before, you know, we've seen a lot of people get the notices from, I think, Pakistan, saying you found to be in violation of Pakistani law. | ||
| And I've seen a lot of conservatives get mad about that. | ||
| Why is Twitter sending me that I violated Pakistani law? | ||
| I'm not Pakistani. | ||
| And I actually think it's a good thing they're doing this. | ||
| Because now you know, if you go to that country, they're gonna arrest you. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because you blasphemed, you know, the prophet or something. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Terrifying. | ||
| That part. | ||
| All of it, actually. | ||
| We're addicted to social media. | ||
| I'm glad to see Parler getting the attention that it's getting and becoming more and more prominent. | ||
| Did you hear about my fiasco with Parler? | ||
| Yes, I did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm not a fan. | ||
| Not a fan. | ||
| Uh, they purged your account where they deleted everything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I signed up within two days. | ||
| I had like 1400 followers was zero. | ||
| I followed zero. | ||
| I said that my first few, what do you call them? | ||
| Parleys were asking them about their terms of service. | ||
| They started deleting my questions about terms of service in selectively, and then they banned my account. | ||
| And then I actually got the CEO on the line on the phone because I raised the stink on Twitter and it was a hot topic. | ||
| So it got tweeted all up the chain. | ||
| And the CEO at Parler and I had a conversation where he promised me that the terms of service were just boilerplate and just lawyer stuff. | ||
| And it was all the lawyer's fault. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, you know, I gave Parler a shot. | ||
| It's just they banned me within five seconds. | ||
| I think what we need, first and foremost, is Section 230 reform. | ||
| I've talked about it quite a bit. | ||
| There's this law called Section 230, most of you are probably familiar, but for those that aren't, it shields them from their company's liability. | ||
| If I go on Twitter and I defame, libel, slander Jack, Jack can't sue Twitter, he has to sue me. | ||
| Section 230 guards them, but it also gives them specific exemptions for what they can remove without being considered a publisher for the purpose of lawsuits. | ||
| I believe it should be specifically illegal speech, like threats, incitement to violence, explaining how to commit crimes, things like that. | ||
| They should be able to remove that and other certain issues. | ||
| Now, we had Bill Ottman, the CEO of Minds, on the show on Monday, and he made a good point. | ||
| What about a Christian blog that is now forced to host pornography because it's illegal? | ||
| So they should have a right to remove stuff, but it becomes particularly challenging. | ||
| I think that's an important path forward, but in terms of censorship, We need to find a way to guarantee that people can't be banned, period. | ||
| And so I think there's something called the Fediverse. | ||
| I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it. | ||
| It's probably pretty technical. | ||
| Here's how it would work. | ||
| You wouldn't create a Twitter account. | ||
| You'd create your own website. | ||
| And then people would subscribe kind of like an RSS feed or whatever. | ||
| So when you post, you know, I'll do air quotes, a tweet, a simple post. | ||
| What's really happening is you're just posting to your own website. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But other people auto pull it to their feed so they have a news feed on their own websites. | ||
| So basically no one can ban you. | ||
| It's your site. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| People subscribe kind of like email. | ||
| But I think Twitch is something similar to that. | ||
| I gave that a shot as well. | ||
| But again, you know, there's this critical mass with the networks that's so important, which is why Twitter is what it is. | ||
| You know, I think about what it would be like to have Twitter taken away from me. | ||
| Uh, you know, it's, it's, it's concerning, you know, and not necessarily just for like business side, but just like, just, it's part of my life, you know? | ||
| And that's where virtually almost a hundred percent now of my friends, social life, professional life, clients, customers, network, everything in my life that I talk to every day came through my experience on Twitter. | ||
| And we've been DMing to even set up the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know, we go on Twitter. | ||
| I'm like, yo, Jack. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I can see why somebody like Laura would and anybody who gets banned from it would feel, you know, a lot of negative feelings about that. | ||
| And wouldn't it? | ||
| This would be literary, right? | ||
| Like this would be this would be a literary story. | ||
| If Laura Loomer gets banned from Twitter. | ||
| Tries to get back on, gets rejected, decides, I'm going to do something about this, goes down to Florida, gets elected to Congress, goes to Congress, gets on the right committees, makes a stink, and somehow pushes reform for social media through our legislature. | ||
| That would be freaking amazing. | ||
| I kind of think that that will happen. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because... It's a great character arc. | ||
| I just gotta say, considering what she's been able to pull off, I would not be surprised if she wins. | ||
| She gets in, she slams her fist on the table and says, this is unacceptable. | ||
| I am a member of Congress. | ||
| How do I not have access to my constituents through digital media? | ||
| And I wouldn't be surprised if she wins it. | ||
| I think that the overall level of the understanding demonstrated of technology by Congress at the last round of hearings has actually increased, right? | ||
| It seems as though they're starting to actually understand what the real issues are. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I follow a guy, Matt Stoller. | ||
| Wonderful guy. | ||
| Great book, Goliath. | ||
| People should read about it. | ||
| You were talking about antitrust earlier. | ||
| He's a big antitrust guy. | ||
| And he was talking about and just remarking openly how the caliber of the questions, the understanding demonstrated by the Congress about these issues has actually grown quite a bit because the first round of hearings that they did a year or two ago, you know, I mean, there was just senators up there just being like, so now tell me how do you send a tweet? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now that now they really are digging into the serious issues. | ||
| So there's progress there. | ||
| Who was it who like asked? | ||
| I can't remember. | ||
| Someone asked one of the tech CEOs. | ||
| He asked Sundar Pichai about an iPhone. | ||
| Was that Ted Cruz or something? | ||
| No. | ||
| Ted's actually had some pretty good intel. | ||
| I've seen him cite Project Veritas research and stuff up there in a hearing. | ||
| So he's on the ball. | ||
| But there are some other people that certainly are not. | ||
| But Laura would certainly bring a different flavor and a new energy to these investigations. | ||
| And, you know, there's something's going to come of that. | ||
| That's an amazing. | ||
| You can write that. | ||
| You can write. | ||
| No one would believe it. | ||
| I'm not a fan of, I guess, negative and aggressive rhetoric. | ||
| I don't like insulting people or being mean. | ||
| So I think there are things that I would be very critical of Laura Loomer over. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But I think having a staunch defender of free speech with that much energy, I think whether you agree with her or not, that kind of energy in politics is desperately needed. | ||
| I'm not saying her personal politics. | ||
| I haven't gone over her stance on many issues. | ||
| But it feels like a lot of Congress, a lot of the Senate, is just do-nothing politicians who want the keys to the castle, because they'll get a fat paycheck. | ||
| I think politics attracts low-skill, low-intellect people who want an easy path towards some kind of name in the history books. | ||
| So they're like, I don't know how to do anything. | ||
| I'll just tell people they want to hear so that they elect me. | ||
| And then I get to be, you know, put on the little little chart of people who have been here. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, now that's Joe Biden for sure. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| But that is not Donald Trump. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| And it's not Laura Loomer. | ||
| She's there to bring a reckoning to the people who for real. | ||
| I mean, vengeance. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I mean. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| You play dirty games, you get... You get what you deserve? | ||
| Well, I don't want to say it too aggressively, but an equal and opposite reaction. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You ban people, you shut them out, eventually someone's going to bite back. | ||
| And they're going to come back and now you're going to say, if only they let Laura Loomer keep her Twitter account, she wouldn't be in Congress. | ||
| But this is what happens when you underestimate your opponents, and someone with a will like her... | ||
| She's going to be in Congress and she's going to be 10 times the thorn in their side than she would have been on Twitter. | ||
| But they couldn't help themselves. | ||
| It's the stupid games they play. | ||
| Instead of saying, I don't like what you have to say, mute. | ||
| They say, I don't like what you have to say, I'm going to try and destroy you. | ||
| You know what is troubling now that I think about it? | ||
| This is presenting a situation in which now we're going to have some precedent if Twitter continues to officially ban if she gets elected. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And Twitter continues to officially ban like a sitting elected congressman or congresswoman. | ||
| Then that is not that much farther from then just like banning a presidential candidate. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| They've already said that, you know, Donald Trump can tweet things, and if they break the rules, we'll flag them, right? | ||
| That means today, someone who's 25, who could possibly be a future president, could get banned for saying the same thing as our current president. | ||
| That makes no sense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Our current president is speaking. | ||
| If you repeat him, you'll get banned. | ||
| And then you can't, when you become president, you have no access? | ||
| Dude, if he, the moment his term is up, whether it's at the end of this year or four years from now, like literally the moment that the clock goes like, his Twitter account's gone. | ||
| Don't you think? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't think it'll be a hammer drop snap because they love making money off of him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I think Trump saved Twitter. | ||
| I do. | ||
| Politics saved a lot of media companies. | ||
| Trump and politics and this 2016 stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Before Trump, Twitter was actually hard to use, confusing, and it was losing users. | ||
| Because, you know, it used to be about following celebrities and celebrity gossip. | ||
| Then Trump started using it, and it just exploded because now his supporters were signing up, his, you know, haters were signing up, and I think the reason they won't ban him is because he's the linchpin now. | ||
| They pull that pin out, the whole platform unravels, becomes boring, and there's no conversation anymore. | ||
| That is possible. | ||
| But you're right, in the sense that if he's out of office, he doesn't provide that service anymore. | ||
| He's no longer a strong voice. | ||
| He'll still have his voice, he'll still have millions and millions of followers, he'll still be a former president, and he'll chime in periodically, but it won't have the immediate impact as he's no longer in office, and I know they're all worried about it. | ||
| There was a report from Digiday saying that media companies are panicking over what happens if Trump loses. | ||
| Yeah, their revenue is going to get cut in half. | ||
| I love it when he says that just blatantly straight out to them. | ||
| You guys love me. | ||
| You need me. | ||
| I'm making you money. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| I say this every time it happens. | ||
| When Bloomberg started dumping money on YouTube, I was like, make it rain, Bloomberg! | ||
| Those Bloomberg bucks fall all over YouTube with those YouTube ad revenue. | ||
| I will absolutely take his money to make fun of him because I'm not making videos for him. | ||
| But you know what he does, what Biden does, what they do is they like putting ads on videos that challenge them so they can push back. | ||
| And it's, I don't think it's going to work. | ||
| No one's going to trust your, trust your canned advertisement over me chilling and having a long, you know, giving you a long rant about my ideas. | ||
| But Donald Trump just did, I think it was like one of the biggest ad buys ever. | ||
| A seven figure, like seven figures in a single month, just, just blanketed this month. | ||
| And the Democrats didn't do anything. | ||
| And you know, Joe Biden's been raising money. | ||
| Why won't they spend it? | ||
| Why won't they spend it? | ||
| They're going to save it. | ||
| They don't even know how to spend it. | ||
| They don't know how to do social media like Trump knows how to do it. | ||
| And even so, Trump could be doing it even better. | ||
| I mean, there's so much more he could be doing, I think. | ||
| But he is setting the pace, and he is the one out front. | ||
| And whether they say it or not, he's probably in the lead at the moment anyway. | ||
| Right on. | ||

| Jack Murphy Live as well. | ||
| And you literally have this book. | ||
| This book, Democrats Deplorable. | ||
| Get it on Amazon. | ||
| Two and a half years later and it is still selling very well. | ||
| The attention put on it. | ||
| It's continuing to grow and it creeps up into the top 10 in anthropology every so often. | ||
| So it was up there with anti-racist and white fragility right there in the top 20 just the other day. | ||
| And that's without any corporate backers. | ||
| Tim Pool is my largest corporate backer. | ||
| It feels so much like a late night show. | ||
| I'm here, I'm joined by Jack Murphy, whose book is coming out. | ||
| Hold on, let me get a sip. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I got the mug now. | ||
| I got the Democrat supportable mug. | ||
| Thank you, Jack. | ||
| Let's read some of these superchats. | ||
| Mr. Scratch, the first superchat said, don't get complacent. | ||
| Remember to vote. | ||
| I say it all the time, man. | ||
| We can sit here and talk about how we think the Democrats are going to lose. | ||
| But it could be their secret strategy. | ||
| The one joke we make often is that Joe Biden's going to walk out, you know, aching and shaking, and then he's going to somersault forward like Willy Wonka and spring up into life. | ||
| And it was all a ploy to get everybody, you know, to underestimate him and then swoop in for that victory. | ||
| They're meant to do that. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Oh, you guys got it. | ||
| First Thessalonian says, Tim, will you be getting mods? | ||
| Troll spammers are infecting the chat. | ||
| Great job as always. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| I mean, I can't I can't commit anything right now because we're just doing the show, but we'll have a conversation about it. | ||
| Let's see, 7killer says, hey, can we get some public outcry about the movie Cuties coming out of Netflix? | ||
| It's a you-know-what fantasy. | ||
| It's absolutely disgusting. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| I saw something about that, and yes, it looks really disgusting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh no. | |
| And it needs probably a little attention. | ||
| I don't even know if this is something we can converse about, though. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| On Netflix? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Creepy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Incredibly. | ||
| I don't even know. | ||
| Graf Von Tirol says, go buy a Michelin tire with this super chat. | ||
| You know, some people were saying, like, Goodyear is an American company, and so now Trump is saying go to foreign competitors. | ||
| Well, you know, I tweeted out a handy-dandy list of American tire manufacturers today, just in case anybody wanted to know, with a big red hand-drawn line right through Goodyear. | ||
| Because, man, boycotts, I think, are sometimes kind of stupid, but we do have to take a very serious attack. | ||
| on the infiltration of all these ideas into all of our institutions and corporations. | ||
| Otherwise, it's not going to stop. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's because these companies don't see pushback from conservatives or moderates. | ||
| They just see the far left. | ||
| That's the only thing that threatens them, so they just go for it. | ||
| And that's going to be bad, because then regular people are going to stop speaking out against it, because everyone's doing it, you know, the go with the flow. | ||
| Aerodynamic says, our boy Yuri B got his speech used to promote the new Call of Duty teaser set in the Cold War. | ||
| It's framed around the Soviet subversion tactics. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| You're familiar with the Yuri, was it Yuri Besmanov? | ||
| Besmanov, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, the propaganda video? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Super, super popular online. | ||
| Daniel Ashley says, remember when Goodyear Tires was producing defective tires causing SUVs to roll over? | ||
| Pepperidge Farmer members. | ||
| I'm not sure if, I'm not sure if I know that one. | ||
| Was that a thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Reaching back, reaching back. | ||
| All right, let's see if we can pop up. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| We got Gareth Green. | ||
| He says, Individual liberties and elected representatives existed in some parts of Europe, especially England, long before 1776. | ||
| No taxation without representation was an appeal to English tradition. | ||
| Look up Edward II, Charles I, and Oliver Cromwell. | ||
| Yeah, 1215 was the Magna Carta. | ||
| That's a long ways back. | ||
| Uh, Jim Pina says, how come Jimmy Dore is flooded by, flooded my Chinese communist propaganda? | ||
| Creepy AF. | ||
| Do you mean by? | ||
| I would assume so. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Is that what's happening? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Al Dente says, are we living in Pink Floyd's The Wall movie? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Are we? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| We have great answers tonight. | ||
| Yeah, no, I don't know. | ||
| Everyone's like, I have no idea. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I used to watch that movie and listen to that album over and over and over and over again when I was a kid, though. | ||
| Are we there yet? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Sean Shisler says, Hey Tim, would love to see you on with Officer Tatum live chat. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The Price is Right Review says, What's up guys? | ||
| I don't know if you've seen yet the latest update to James Younger in Texas. | ||
| Well, with a court ruling, his mother can force change James into a girl against his will and dad is forced to pay for it. | ||
| Have you heard about that? | ||
| Not that particular case, but certainly I have tracked these issues where parental consent is being violated and, you know, your guardianship is being violated. | ||
| And man, if divorce and separation wasn't hard enough on families and on children in the first place. | ||
| adding a new layer like this where the court is going to decide to make you give your kid a | ||
| surgery or transition or mutilate their body or give them hormones. I mean, wow. If that's not an | ||
| incentive, if that is not a disincentive towards natalism, marriages, families, I don't know what | ||
| is. If, if, if. | ||
| If the government is going to step in and force you, like a slave, to pay money for your child to be mutilated before your eyes against your will. | ||
| It's gonna get bad in this country, man. | ||
| That's serious stuff, man. | ||
| I mentioned that video from Shasta County, and I think you said you weren't familiar with it? | ||
| No. | ||
| It's just some guy at a city council meeting or something, or a county meeting, and he said, you know, you're lucky right now that regular citizens are being peaceful, but he basically says that He went to war before to defend this country and he doesn't want to but he'll do it again and that people are going to You know start fighting back essentially. | ||
| I don't want to quote him too much because it was very spicy to say the least Yeah, but I think stories like this You're gonna start I mean gun sales are through the roof Through the roof. | ||
| You have a court mandate that your child is going to go through life-altering and, in certain ways, limiting surgery. | ||
| Mutilation. | ||
| But I mean, ending their ability to reproduce is outright, your bloodline, done, gone. | ||
| You're gonna see some people get real violent real quick. | ||
| This is the state taking people's children away from them. | ||
| It is very, it is like the most serious elemental issue. | ||
| You can turn your water off, that's pretty bad. | ||
| But if you're gonna make me work like a slave to take my money to mutilate my child against my will, I mean... | ||
| They make movies about the kind of reaction to that stuff. | ||
| I'm thinking Michael Douglas. | ||
| I want you to picture this. | ||
| A mother grizzly bear and her baby. | ||
| And what would happen if you tried to, say, force that baby. | ||
| You had a knife and you were going to injure it. | ||
| See what that bear does. | ||
| See what that bear would do to you. | ||
| And then think about what happens when, you know, good regular people are staring down the barrel of the state and the state saying, we're taking your child and it's going to get nasty. | ||
| And now let's remember the root of this. | ||
| The root of this is because feminist ideas and their mission mutated and they grabbed onto this trans issue. | ||
| They put it on the cover of National Geographic a few years ago. | ||
| It is now socially contagious. | ||
| It's hip. | ||
| It's kind of like a hip thing, right? | ||
| When I was in school, it was like, you know, you were like a freak or a dork or a weirdo or a goth kid or whatever. | ||
| And you know, maybe now, maybe now people are thinking, I question my identity. | ||
| So all this stuff is political power maneuvering that is meant to wrest control away from people like me and other folks. | ||
| And it's, it's sacrificing children at the altar of power and politics. | ||
| And it's the most disgusting thing. | ||
| I write about 25 pages on it in my book. | ||
| This is why I kind of feel like it is chaotic with no end. | ||
| There's no plan, there's no goal, it's just random. | ||
| Completely random. | ||
| Because when you think about what they claim their plans are, they don't actually implement what their plans are. | ||
| There's no equality, there's no justice, it's just oppression across the board for literally everybody. | ||
| The end result is everything falls apart and everyone dies. | ||
| Just no joke. | ||
| The end result is everything burns to the ground. | ||
| We're at a point where mainstream culture essentially only allows you to entertain destructive forces. | ||
| And because of that, as moderates and conservatives and those who would challenge the status quo are being banned and silenced, then the only thing left is a conversation that's increasingly more and more unhinged. | ||
| To the point where you actually had a Democrat chain himself to a mailbox in Oregon. | ||
| It's not even a joke! | ||
| A Democrat literally chained... I mean, he didn't, like, chain himself tightly. | ||
| He threw a chain over himself in a mailbox, took pictures of it, and says, Donald Trump's not getting this one. | ||
| No one's stealing your mailboxes! | ||
| It's just completely insane. | ||
| They start pushing unhinged, broken reality. | ||
| But you think, I think the mailbox thing is a perfect example of their worldview being just insane paranoia. | ||
| And you think about what happens then when the state starts mandating it. | ||
| What would happen right now? | ||
| If a governor came out and mandated that all of the mailboxes that had been stolen, you know, be put back and that those who stole them would be charged with theft of government property and the mailman's like, but I was told that we were just relocating them or they're moving them or replacing them. | ||
| Yeah, refurbishing them, painting them, whatever it is. | ||
| It's normal, happens all the time. | ||
| I mean, we can take one minute to talk about this. | ||
| The United States Postal Service has been under pressure for a long time to cut prices and to cut expenses, rather, from administrations from both parties for years and years and years and years. | ||
| It's like an ethos throughout the U.S. | ||
| Postal Service. | ||
| We've got to shrink. | ||
| They've even tried to figure out how to stop delivering the mail six days a week, do it for five days a week. | ||
| They've been trying to cut overtime, cut everything. | ||
| Everybody knows we're trying to cut expenses. | ||
| And then all of a sudden Democrats are like, Hey, you doing this thing that we've demanded that you do after all this time, you guys are terrible, horrible, evil people working for Donald Trump. | ||
| And it's like, we have Russiagate all over again. | ||
| And like, I wonder 600,000 people work for the United States Postal Service. | ||
| They have friends and family and colleagues and neighbors and now they're being under attack and questioned. | ||
| The election was decided by 77,000 votes last time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Right? | ||
| What happens if you just basically flush a million people down the toilet by saying that they're acting in a political way when in fact they're doing exactly what you've demanded of them for the last 25 years? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Now, my bigger concern is when we talk about a judge making orders and it moves to the point where they actually arrest the post office guy. | ||
| And he's like, but I was just moving the mailbox. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| Well, you are stealing mailboxes for Trump's conspiracy. | ||
| That's where I feel like it goes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, they're setting the stage for yet another four years of questioning the legitimacy of the election. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Very clear. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Trump's going to get reelected and they're going to say, he stole it. | ||
| And here's how we demand an investigation and we are going to get, you know, postal gate or whatever. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And they're going to, and they're, and they're going to try and jam Trump up and not let him do his job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And they're going to use this to do it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, remember the phrase going postal. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Constantly lately. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So like going postal has been in our vernacular for how long? | ||
| And you're going to tell me that all of a sudden just now under Trump, the post office is inefficient and we don't like the way it operates. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| FedEx exists specifically because we don't trust the United States Postal Service to send our valuable and important things over in a timely fashion. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like this is common knowledge. | ||
| But you know that the Postal Service Union endorsed Biden. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So why? | ||
| Let me ask you a question. | ||
| If, you know, let's say you're voting for Biden or a Democrat and a guy shows up to your house and he's got a MAGA hat on and he's like, I'm here to take your ballot to go turn it in for you. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| You're going to be like, get out of here. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So why? | ||
| In New Jersey, the governor just mandated vote by mail for everybody. | ||
| I'm mad. | ||
| I don't, I don't want to do that. | ||
| I do not want a mail-in ballot. | ||
| My polling place is a couple blocks away. | ||
| I can, I got no problem to walk over, you know, and just fill something out, drop in a box. | ||
| Wait, they're, they're explicitly prohibiting you from voting in person? | ||
| There are some in-person polling places, but they are doing an executive order to mandate universal mail-in voting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yikes. | |
| I got a mail-in ballot here for someone who doesn't live here. | ||
| And I don't know what to do with it. | ||
| What do I do, throw it in the garbage? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I almost jokingly made a joke, but I'm not gonna make a joke about that. | ||
| Don't do anything with it other than throw it in the garbage. | ||
| I don't even know if I can do that. | ||
| Burn it. | ||
| I don't know if I can destroy someone else's ballot. | ||
| So it's just sitting, waiting for someone to let me know what I'm supposed to do with it. | ||
| I don't know if I'm allowed to mark it either. | ||
| I'm not going to touch it. | ||
| I'm not playing games. | ||
| Yeah, seriously. | ||
| It's sent here. | ||
| It's someone else's ballot. | ||
| The election's over, but I still don't know. | ||
| Can I write return to sender on someone else's mail when it's a ballot? | ||
| Touchy. | ||
| Yeah, now the governor. | ||
| So Trump is suing over this. | ||
| And I'm happy because I am really angry that they're trying to force me to vote by mail. | ||
| I'm not gonna drop my ballot. | ||
| My ballot's important to me. | ||
| I'm not gonna go drop it in a mailbox and walk away and then hope the postal guy gets it done right. | ||
| I've had mail get lost all the time. | ||
| I want to go to my polling station at the local building where I know the people who are there, who I voted there before. | ||
| I know the process. | ||
| I know what I'm familiar with. | ||
| You know the crazy thing about this mail-in-ballot thing is that you know who's most negatively impacted by it? | ||
| Minorities. | ||
| First-time voters. | ||
| Are they trying to lose? | ||
| In Washington, D.C., they just officially eliminated the only way there was to register to vote online. | ||
| Really? | ||
| In D.C.? | ||
| In D.C. | ||
| They just shut it down. | ||
| There was a website service and they shut it down. | ||
| So now new voters, people who are first time voters who have moved to D.C. | ||
| now have to register in person somewhere in the middle of Corona. | ||
| But they have eliminated the way to register online. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| None of it. | ||
| That one is dumb or diabolical. | ||
| Pretty sure that one's dumb. | ||
| I think that one's dumb. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's just through sheer incompetence. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So here's a question for you, Tim. | ||
| What day is the election going to be decided? | ||
| Oh, you mean we have no idea? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No one does. | ||
| Not November 3rd. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You think December 1st? | ||
| January 1st? | ||
| February? | ||
| How long does it go? | ||
| How long was Bush v. Gore? | ||
| That was like until December or something, wasn't it? | ||
| So my understanding, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know about Bush v. Gore. | ||
| I was, you know, too young. | ||
| I think I was like 13 or not even. | ||
| Yeah, I think I was 13. | ||
| But I was reading a Newsweek article and they said that by December 14th, if there's no electoral vote decision, then the Supreme Court steps in like ends it and then it goes to House delegations. | ||
| Do you think that that's the actual, actual, actual master plan? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Right now, Republicans have the state delegations. | ||
| The plan may be to jam up the elections. | ||
| This is the Democratic plan. | ||
| If the Democrats take the House, and they take over the House delegations after November. | ||
| So let's say the November election happens, and the local elections and the congressional elections are wrapped up within a couple days. | ||
| But Trump isn't. | ||
| Then comes December 14th, and it goes to the House delegations, of which Republicans have the majority. | ||
| Newsweek, who's actually the founder of MSNBC, said Trump would win regardless of the popular vote. | ||
| Maybe they know he's going to win, so they're trying to make sure he wins in such a questionable way that they can always say no matter what he does he's not a legitimate president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Definitely. | |
| The vote will be jammed up. | ||
| December 14th, SCOTUS steps in. | ||
| They complain. | ||
| They egg his car like they did with Bush. | ||
| They say he's not my president. | ||
| Right now he is your president, and they hate it. | ||
| So there's a meme among Trump supporters saying, he's your president, you know, but after this, you know, Trump will win and then they'll use this as an excuse in 2024 to undo the things he did. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Trump is gonna do a lot to shore up our borders. | ||
| Would you say onshore manufacturing? | ||
| Bringing these factories back for sure. | ||
| Getting our troops back. | ||
| And they're gonna argue that it was all Putin. | ||
| It was all a scheme. | ||
| It was all a scam. | ||
| Russiagate's already back. | ||
| They're saying a new report came out and it proves collusion. | ||
| And I'm like, do you ever stop with this? | ||
| Apparently they don't. | ||
| Never. | ||
| Dumb or diabolical. | ||
| So we got some more Super Chats. | ||
| Here's from Have Tomy Says, quote, It is one of history's ironies that communism, | ||
| advertised as a classless society, tended to breed a privileged class of feudal proportions. | ||
| Henry Kissinger, any good tips when in a counter-protest? | ||
| You got any good tips for in a counter-protest? | ||
| You know, that's interesting. | ||
| I... | ||
| I am not an advocate of outside public confrontation. | ||
| And honestly, I think that going and counter protesting in a way that's going to breed confrontation is not a good idea. | ||
| That's not something that I support. | ||
| When I go into these protests and the riots, like, I'm glad for the Corona right now because I go in full cover, full sort of like scarf around, you know, and a hat pulled down and no identifying characteristics. | ||
| And I try to stay quiet and to the side, but definitely with the camera up and going. | ||
| I'm not looking for any confrontation. | ||
| In fact, I think it's best just to let these people look like idiots and let them do their idiot thing. | ||
| Until, of course, or unless, of course, you know, they bust into your private community or like running up on your house and whatever. | ||
| But like, you know, just just in an open space, you know, that's just not my thing. | ||
| I mean, I fully support everybody's right to protest and free speech and freedom of assembly and, you know, go for it. | ||
| But like, that's just this is not me right now. | ||
| I'm trying to find other ways leverage other than that. | ||
| A lot of people need to realize, too, that you'll be at one of these protests. | ||
| Antifa will be smashing things. | ||
| They could punch you in the face 50 times. | ||
| The moment you punch back, that's the clip. | ||
| All the clip would be is you hitting the guy. | ||
| No one will know why you hit him. | ||
| No one will know it was self-defense. | ||
| And that's why, I mean, the game's rigged. | ||
| Yeah, man, when I go out, I've got not only do I have the camera, Very smart. | ||
| in the phone, but I've got a GoPro eight chest mount running constantly too. | ||
| So that anything, anybody that comes up to me, anything, it's all a hundred percent recorded. | ||
| It's all being streamed and recorded. | ||
| So there's, I gotta have something, something to defend me. | ||
| That's actually what I, what I do, what I used to do is I would have a chest mount for | ||
| my phone and I would turn the stream on. | ||
| And then when I was, when it was downtime, I would just click it into the mount and then | ||
| just go about my business. | ||
| The stream was live the whole time. | ||
| Oh, there you go. | ||
| We got a super chat here from Jim Pina. | ||
| He says, celebrating the anniversary with my wonderful Latina wife today. | ||
| Stay awesome and please spin that UFO. | ||
| Do you want to give it a spin? | ||
| I mean, this is complicated. | ||
| I'm not supposed to just smack it, right? | ||
| No, don't smack it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It'll pop off the base. | |
| I just gotta spray it? | ||
| You just hold it and give it some air at a slight angle. | ||
| Just pick one of the angles and there you go. | ||
| Now you've got the UFO spinning. | ||
| It's a laboratory spin. | ||
| Just like that. | ||
| So John the Great says, with a 1776 Superjet, by the way, We need a central mailing address for all ballots that are recorded as being sent to places where they are not living. | ||
| Trump needs an office to notate the names, count registrations, and compare recordings. | ||
| Justin says, in Fresno County, we have these ballot boxes specifically for ballots around the county. | ||
| They get picked up every day from the county clerk office. | ||
| You know, I mean, if I could, if they mailed me a ballot and then I could go and bring it specifically to the location, I'm OK with that. | ||
| What I'm not OK with beyond this, though, universal mail-in ballots, is that someone's going to go around stealing ballots. | ||
| Yeah, it's that easy. | ||
| And then now they're talking about fixing, you know, they want this new amended voter signature verification where you get a chance to actually fix your signature. | ||
| I think it's very likely that what's going to happen, Trump's going to win on election night. | ||
| I do win in air quotes. | ||
| He's going to get the in-poll, in-person votes. | ||
| And then they're going to keep finding ballots. | ||
| And then it's going to be like, oh, a little bit more. | ||
| Oh, a little bit more. | ||
| Oh, there it is. | ||
| Biden won. | ||
| And Trump's going to challenge it. | ||
| It's going to be drawn out too long. | ||
| Think about this. | ||
| The United States Postal Service has been around as long as the country has been. | ||
| We've voted for as long as the country has been around. | ||
| When has anybody ever thought that we should mandate mail-in voting? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Why now? | ||
| 2020. | ||
| 225 years later. | ||
| The 11th hour. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When people used to ride on horseback and travel and like, you know, walk for miles or whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now we're going to like do something that no one ever believed in. | ||
| That seems a little diabolical to me. | ||
| Yeah, that actually, that may be diabolical. | ||
| Yeah, I put my vote for that. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| It's a whole new show. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, I like it. | ||
| I think when they're trying to ban voter ID, and there's, I think, what, 37 states have voter ID laws? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They're trying to ban that as part of their COVID relief. | ||
| That's, that's, that's diabolical. | ||
| Okay, to be fair, they've been pushing that for a while. | ||
| That's not really new. | ||
| Right, right, no. | ||
| But still. | ||
| It has always been diabolical. | ||
| Xavier says, Hey Tim, have you seen that Facebook has said that in order to use your Oculus VR headset you need a Facebook account? | ||
| Me and most other people who are into VR are going to ditch Oculus and use anything else. | ||
| Where there's still, I think, Vive, right? | ||
| Is that what it's called? | ||
| What's it called? | ||
| HTC Vive? | ||
| I don't know. | ||

| I mean, it's, but look, I, I left the news industry because of the wokeness. | ||
| You know, I was like, I don't want to ruin my career. | ||
| I'm not going to do what you say. | ||
| Not going to do the news the way you want it to do it. | ||
| And my contract ends. | ||
| It's time for me to go. | ||
| Cause some people want the money and they'll just say whatever they're told to say and just quietly hum along. | ||
| Yeah, this one's personal for me. | ||
| I mean, wokeness kicked me out of my last industry, which was education, right? | ||
| I got fired because of wokeness and implicit bias. | ||
| Like I spoke up in a staff meeting and I was like, you guys know that the implicit association test has been declared by the creator to not be predictive and that you can't really remedy it. | ||
| And they're like, we don't care. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I've actually just recently sent a FOIA request to my old employer, quasi-federal agency. | ||
| Demanding every document, email, phone call, teleconference, everything that has anything to do with institutional racism, systemic racism, implicit association tests, white supremacy, yada, yada, yada. | ||
| All the budgets, time spent, professional contracts, everything. | ||
| Comprehensive. | ||
| And you know what the response was? | ||
| Sorry, Corona, we're closed. | ||
| For real. | ||
| Convenient timing. | ||
| Indefinitely, they have said that they do not have to respond to Freedom of Information Act requests due to Corona. | ||
| Wow, man. | ||
| Dude, we've been trying to get this new property and we're a week delayed now. | ||
| It seems like there is something trying to prevent anything from happening right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Almost. | |
| You're like, all these offices are closed. | ||
| Nobody can work. | ||
| I mean, it feels like it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| The Democrats literally shut down all of these different offices and businesses. | ||
| So yes, it's extremely difficult. | ||
| It's really annoying that you can't, like, it's an arbitrary just stop to trade. | ||
| That's offensive to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like I can't be like, I have a book. | ||
| Good, sir. | ||
| Would you like to purchase it? | ||
| Unless you go through Amazon. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The big massive corporations, the big box stores, they're fine, but it's a small mom and pop shops. | ||
| It's our offices. | ||
| You know, it was scary to me because my, my, my ID was about to expire. | ||
| I can't go to the DMV. | ||
| We, I drove up, it was closed. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| I thought I lost my driver's license like a couple months ago. | ||
| And so I went online and I filled out the application to get a new one sent to me in my address. | ||
| Luckily the next day I just found it. | ||
| But I still have not gotten it in the mail and it's been like two months. | ||
| I was told the DMVs are closed. | ||
| You have to go online. | ||
| And I was like, I've got a month before I can't. | ||
| My license is no good. | ||
| Fortunately, after a massive break in the database, they finally fixed it and I was able to get an update. | ||
| But that was particularly worrisome. | ||
| You know, you're going to make a requirement upon me but give me no office to actually do it? | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's how creepy things are. | ||
| Again, no predictability. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Instability. | ||
| Uncertainty. | ||
| How do you plan for the future? | ||
| How do you invest in yourself? | ||
| How do you invest in your community? | ||
| You're a senior in high school. | ||
| How do you invest in getting into college and going to college if that's what you want to do? | ||
| So many lost opportunities, so much pain, so much emotional distress everywhere right now, everywhere. | ||
| And it's coming at us from all directions, which is why you got to take care of yourself. | ||
| That's like the number one thing we could focus on right now. | ||
| One of the scariest things I saw was a stat that said something like one in four 18 to 24 year olds had contemplated suicide. | ||
| That's freaky. | ||
| There's this tech CEO whose kid he tweeted about his kid killed himself, you know, like | ||
| three months into the quarantine. | ||
| Just because like, I guess it's a kind of extreme FOMO. | ||
| Your life stops. | ||
| You're young, you're excited. | ||
| But what people need to realize, especially about young people in this lockdown, time | ||
| flies for us. | ||
| But when you're young, you know, if you're 13, you remember when summer was long. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When, when, when you're 10 years old, a year is a literal, is literally one 10th, 10% of your life. | ||
| So you take these young kids and you freeze them for half a year and you're taking 5% of their life and putting them into purgatory and they, they, they snap. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is why I've been just pushing as hard as I possibly can to push us education wise to do whatever it takes to get the schools open socially. | ||
| They need it. | ||
| But the schools are all being, they're doing indoctrination. | ||
| I know, but there's, there's a pros and cons and the cons of everybody being at home locked up by themselves may outweigh the indoctrination that you can counteract at home. | ||
| You cannot do anything at home to counteract the lack of social connection that these kids are experiencing now. | ||
| Move to a red state with a promise not to vote for those same people ever again. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, I've been talking to some friends who are moving and I said, just remember, if you move, don't vote for the Democrats anymore, right? | ||
| Because for me, you know, I've spent most of my life as like a social liberal center left. | ||
| But at this point, I'm kind of like, considering all the destruction, the decimation of these cities, I'm going to defer to some Republicans for the time being, but ones that I think are trustworthy. | ||
| I might not agree with them on policy, but you know, there's, um, have you seen the ad for Kimberly Klasick? | ||
| I have, fantastic, very well done. | ||
| Yeah, 8 million views overnight, 140,000 retweets. | ||
| She's a Republican running in Baltimore, and I see her as a new, energized, fresh face who I believe is passionate and wants to fix things. | ||
| Well, normally I voted for Democrat, but at this point I'm like, I'm voting based on trust. | ||
| I might not agree on the issues, but I agree on the passion for fixing problems. | ||
| So at this point, I'm going to leave these blue areas. | ||
| I'm not going to bring any of that policy with me. | ||
| I've been looking where to move. | ||
| I wish I could move to Virginia, but you can't predict that. | ||
| Pennsylvania, you may go for Trump this year, hopefully, but you don't know where it's going to be in 4, 8, or 12 years. | ||
| West Virginia? | ||
| Kentucky? | ||
| Do I have to go all the way to Kentucky or Tennessee? | ||
| South Carolina? | ||
| Do I have to go there to be locked in red for 20 years, 30 years? | ||
| People are saying Texas, but I'm like, Texas, they're saying it's a swing state. | ||
| I mean, it's changing. | ||
| South Dakota, baby. | ||
| South Dakota. | ||
| Yeah, maybe that's the answer. | ||
| Christy, invite us all down there, would you? | ||
| Yeah, let's do it. | ||
| Maybe, you know, you've got a lot of land. | ||
| You can get a lot of land for cheap and you can just do your thing. | ||
| They got internets there? | ||
| Probably bad internet. | ||
| I mean, truthfully, in this whole homesteading off the grid question, It is the question of high speed Internet, right? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Like satellite Internet. | ||
| You can you can do it. | ||
| But there's like a six six hundred millisecond delay, you know, even in the finest setups, the most expensive setups. | ||
| And that's would make doing something like this almost impossible. | ||
| So that is the big question. | ||
| You wouldn't be able to play games either. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So no online gaming. | ||
| And the transmission, the data rate is really, really poor. | ||
| You'd not be able to do a lot. | ||
| You might be able you could probably do a live show. | ||
| Cell technology is good though in a lot of these places. | ||
| So what a lot of these companies are doing is you actually just get like a 5G home router that you just put in the house and it links to the cell tower. | ||
| So that's probably a solution. | ||
| They're not going to lay the cables between all the houses like they used to. | ||
| Just set up one big tower and have it feed the internet. | ||
| But Elon's doing that, what is it called, Starlink or whatever? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, it's low-latency, low-orbit satellites for, yeah, anywhere you get a satellite and you can get high-speed internet like normal. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Let's take a couple more of these Super Chats. | ||
| J.Craw says, it's not oppression plus power, it's the addition of power to oppress. | ||
| Carter McMillan says, Andy, no. | ||
| The hypocrisy of the left is so clearly displayed in his story, it's angering. | ||
| Please keep sharing his story. | ||
| It's what got me to finally take the red pill. | ||
| Andy Nash says, Jack, I'd love to be a part of your community. | ||
| I am a military veteran and I have years of experience in electrical and mechanical engineering. | ||

| In fact, we've got guys from almost every industry and every phase of life as well, too. | ||
| So go down to the website liminal-order.com and check it out. | ||
| It's a community of men based on three shared values. | ||

| Send me an email. | ||
| Jack at Jack Murphy live.com. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Super cool. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Let's do a couple more super chats. | ||
| We got a OG boxer says with over 800 ballets that were thrown out because they were for, Oh, ballots. | ||
| I was like, it's spelled with an E. Professional word guys here. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That were thrown out because they were from the dead. | ||
| Why I don't hear people point out that means 800 plus proven voter fraud who filled them out and mailed them. | ||
| So I made a mistake when I tweeted one of these stories out. | ||
| It was actually that people filled out the ballots, sent them in, then died. | ||
| And so they got them and they were like, OK, these people are not registered as deceased, so we're going to throw the ballots out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Got it. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So what is the qualifying moment to cast a vote? | ||
| Do you have to be alive at the time it's counted or alive at the time it's cast? | ||
| That's an interesting point. | ||
| That is a good question. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because maybe their ballots should be counted. | ||
| They still voted. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| At the time? | ||
| Election day? | ||
| I mean, this is why you have lawyers. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| Yeah, what happens if you walk into the polling station and you hit the button for Trump and then go, and then die on the spot? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Does it count? | ||
| Well, no, definitely not if it was for Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| All right, let's see what we got here. | ||
| J-Cross says, my driver's license was stolen and I've been waiting months to get a new one. | ||
| That's COVID, man. | ||
| Darun Albain says, false argument. | ||
| Christian blog would not be an open platform. | ||
| So section 230 just means the comment section. | ||
| So if a Christian blog had a comment section, people could post really messed up stuff to it, you know? | ||
| Hasim Retna says, left is lost. | ||
| Keep up the great work, Tim. | ||
| Lids. | ||
| And great to see Jack on. | ||
| My kids are going to in-person school here in Ohio. | ||
| Used to be a Cali man. | ||
| Glad to be gone. | ||
| Left is lost. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| Timothy Watt says, and universities are closed and students are doing online, but the tuition is full price, including housing. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| If you know what, man, just you can't you got to stop. | ||
| Just people just do what they're told, you know, this. | ||
| But this is 2020 is like the year of red pills everywhere, everywhere. | ||
| We're seeing it in education, in public health. | ||
| in every element of politics, where just people are having these awakenings, man. | ||
| I think I think that there's more people waking up than going to sleep at this | ||
| point. Definitely. | ||
| That that's that's the bottom line. | ||
| Right. And like and which coalition has grown over the last four years? | ||
| Trump's Trump's coalition has grown. | ||
| It's it. Look, when you look at the media, if you if you only follow the mainstream | ||
| news, you'd say the opposite. | ||
| But when you follow alternative media, independent media, no, it's Trump. | ||
| It's Trump. | ||
| More and more personalities popping up, more and more followers for intellectual dark web types. | ||
| Not necessarily Trump supporters, but people definitely leaving the Democratic Party, for sure. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And there's a whole slew of people. | ||
| Academics, especially out there right now who are like, we've had it with the left. | ||
| I'm not sure where to go next, but those are the people who get into the voting booth and they're just like, and they just don't even, they don't tell you later. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| They're not going to pull the trigger for Biden. | ||
| I think there's going to be a lot of people who don't care about politics, but they've just had enough. | ||
| So you're never going to hear them. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| They're not necessarily on your side. | ||
| It's actually, I made references a couple of times because it is a really great video, but have you seen the Ryan Long comedy videos? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| He's got a new one where they're creating basketball teams and there's a left and a right. | ||
| And the left guy's just insulting people. | ||
| He's yelling at them, calling them bigots, taking pictures of them. | ||
| So funny. | ||
| One guy's like, he takes a picture of him and he picks up his phone and he goes, like, it's my boss. | ||
| I just got fired. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| And then he hides behind another guy, like, stop taking pictures of me. | ||
| And then one guy, the guy on the right goes, dude, just play with me. | ||
| He's nuts. | ||
| And then when he walks over, the guy with the right wing shirt says, hey, you see that Trump tweet about coronavirus was kind of reasonable, right? | ||
| And then the guy goes, yeah, yeah, whatever, man. | ||
| But it's that, yeah, whatever, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think there's gonna be people who are like, I don't care about the Trump stuff. | ||
| I don't care about the memes. | ||
| I just vote for him, whatever, because these people are crazy. | ||
| That's what it feels like. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Good. | ||
| More light on the crazy, is what I'm saying. | ||
| You know, I've heard it a lot over the past year, couple years, people said the Democrats need to be taught a lesson. | ||
| They need to be told, you will not win if you do this stuff, if you go crazy, if you embrace this. | ||
| But I think the Democrats... Look, when you've got the CDC, 10% of their employees saying, we want a national health crisis to be declared on racism. | ||
| Yeah, 10% of the CDC saying that. | ||
| Then the Democrats seem like they're thinking they have no choice. | ||
| That's what they're going for. | ||
| That's the institutional takeover. | ||
| That's the tyranny of the minority. | ||
| That is what happens when you create academics and professionals and then put them in powerful positions within bureaucracies. | ||
| And that is the biggest stumbling block to turning this whole thing around, is that the entry-level, mid-career, and high-level people in all of these organizations now are woke. | ||
| And even if nobody wants it, they're still going to be there. | ||
| So how are we going to even get them out? | ||
| Maybe we don't. | ||
| Maybe we just walk away. | ||
| Walk, walk away. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, we create my medieval city on 90 acres with 50,000 people. | ||
| 90 acres, huh? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| You need one, you need one water source, like a canal or something to go through the middle. | ||
| You can build a walled city for 50,000 people on 90 acres. | ||
| So cool. | ||
| Wyoming? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wyoming? | ||
| South Dakota. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, South Dakota. | |
| I'm gonna be honest, I will actually start looking at large South Dakota plots of land. | ||
| Dude, I would be so down with just being a pioneer, setting up a hub somewhere and revitalizing a community or bringing resources to help people get jobs back. | ||
| I think too many people thought New York was where you had to be or LA was where you had to be. | ||
| I was one of those people. | ||
| That's what I thought. | ||
| Me too. | ||
| That's all I wanted to do when I grew up was when I was to move to New York. | ||
| That was all I wanted. | ||
| And then when I finally got the chance, I said no, which is another story all to itself. | ||
| But I do remember as a kid, and maybe this was just angst and teenage stuff, but all I remember thinking, all I want to do is be left alone. | ||
| Just everybody leave me alone. | ||
| And then I remember maybe in my 20s sometimes I would think, all I want to do is be like You know, so I can just like go away to other places. | ||
| And now I'm thinking, all I want is just like a couple hundred acres and a homestead with a walled city and like tanks, tanks pointed at the gate. | ||
| A walled city! | ||
| That's all I want. | ||
| That's all I want. | ||
| So now I'm wondering, is this a consistent theme in my life, right? | ||
| Or am I just reacting to the stress? | ||
| Either way, I don't know. | ||
| It just feels right. | ||
| Staying in the city doesn't feel right anymore. | ||
| Right on, man. | ||
| Well, with that being said, we are just a little bit over time, so I think we're going to get ready to wrap up. | ||

| That, too. | ||
| There's a book on Amazon. | ||
| Yeah, actually, let's I think I can pull up the Amazon book right here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| We'll look at it. | ||
| Just give a quick shout out to the book here. | ||
| Do we have? | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Democrat to Deplorable on Amazon. | ||
| Look, you get paperback for $10.77, which is the absolute lowest price they allow me to go to get worldwide distribution. | ||
| So and $2.99, also the lowest price on Kindle. | ||
| My goal is not to make money with this. | ||
| But to get it out there into the world so that people have a roadmap. | ||
| They have a moral and philosophical reasoning for voting for Trump over the Democrats. | ||
| They can read themselves, feel better about their decisions and give it to their friends and family, which I get reports all the time. | ||
| People buy five copies and hand it out. | ||
| So get the message out there, guys. | ||
| Democrats are deplorable. | ||
| I think I'm going to send one of these to some of my friends. | ||
| Do it. | ||
| No, for real. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
