| It's been a crazy news weekend, man. | ||
| There's been, like, so many different stories. | ||
| I'm just sitting here looking at everything. | ||
| You got Trump's tax returns, Project Veritas released this evidence of voter fraud, and they're gonna be having—they've got more coming. | ||
| James O'Keefe tweeted about this. | ||
| And then we have riots still happening at the same time. | ||
| I hope you guys are all ready for like 15 October surprises because the New York Times is basically rewritten this story about Trump's taxes. | ||
| Now there's a story coming out claiming, once again, Trump's a racist. | ||
| All these stories are popping up about all of the nasty things Trump said about various races. | ||
| I just don't believe any of it because the media does nothing but complain about Trump. | ||
| But we have one story that I think, outside of all of the political insanity, is really interesting. | ||
| It's the Louisville cop charged with wanton endangerment in Breonna Taylor case. | ||
| He's pleading not guilty, as judge orders him not to have any firearms, despite attorney arguing he may need to protect himself. | ||
| And the funny thing is, and I don't mean funny haha, I mean like, strange, is that we literally just had a dude in Louisville fire a bunch of bullets at cops, and he also only got charged with wanton endangerment. | ||
| So we're gonna open up with that. | ||
| Tonight, we are hanging out. | ||
| We got Ian, of course. | ||
| Ian's chillin'. | ||
| That was Ian. | ||
| We got Cassandra. | ||
| Cassandra's chillin'. | ||
| And Lydia's hangin' out. | ||
| We still have to set up Lydia's microphone, though, but we're making progress. | ||
| We're making progress out here in the middle of nowhere, and it's good fun. | ||
| So make sure you smash that like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell. | ||
| We're live Monday through Friday at 8 p.m., but we're just gonna chill and hang out and take it easy and talk about, you know, a cop potentially getting murdered, I guess. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're laughing. | ||
| It's so ridiculous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's just take it easy and talk about the chaos. | |
| Yeah, that's the point. | ||
| We had riots across the country last night, and I woke up in the morning and I was like, I'm talking about voter fraud because of James O'Keefe and that huge release he did. | ||
| And then I was like, it's like the first morning in five months, I haven't said, well, there was a riot today, you know, because the big, I couldn't, you know, the New York Times and James O'Keefe dropped these big stories like last night. | ||
| So that's literally what comes up. | ||
| But let's do this. | ||
| Let me give you some context. | ||
| And we'll start with this story about the Louisville cop. | ||
| So from the Daily Mail. | ||
| Louisville cop charged with wanton endangerment in Breonna Taylor case pleads not guilty as judge orders him not to have any firearms despite attorney arguing he may need to protect himself. | ||
| Brett Hankison pleaded not guilty to endangering Breonna Taylor's neighbors by firing bolts into their home during the March 13th drug raid. | ||
| Hankison was fired from Louisville Metro Police in June. | ||
| During the raid, Breonna Taylor, 26, was shot dead as she stood next to her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, in the hallway of her home. | ||
| Three cops fired 32 shots, six of which struck Taylor. | ||
| Only one shot was fatal. | ||
| Hankison's charges stem from firing into a neighboring apartment. | ||
| Two other cops present have not been charged. | ||
| They probably won't. | ||
| But here's what I want to show you. | ||
| This story from the New York Times. | ||
| This is... I've got to be careful what I show here. | ||
| Video shows gunmen firing at police during Louisville protests. | ||
| One man among hundreds of peaceful protesters... Oh, okay. | ||
| Fired a handgun at police officers in Louisville, Kentucky. | ||
| Witnesses caught him on camera. | ||
| When a gunman fired at the police during a protest in Louisville on Wednesday night, the shooting was captured on camera by live streamers, protesters, local reporters, and New York Times journalists who were filming just yards away. | ||
| They're going to mention two cops got shot. | ||
| They're going to explain everything, but this dude, I don't know if they have it right in the beginning, he was charged with wanton endangerment. | ||
| So, consider these two circumstances, and we have ongoing riots, and so we'll just, you know, I don't know, what do you guys think? | ||
| Should this cop have his gun taken away? | ||
| I give it to you, panel. | ||
| I think that it's insane for him not to have his gun. | ||
| I think he'll be in extreme danger, and if anything happens to him, his family should shoot the crap out of the city. | ||
| You know, if you go on social media, there's millions of threats. | ||
| Well, I'm being a little exaggerating, but there's threats against this guy constantly. | ||
| People are calling for his head. | ||
| I mean, he's been doxxed. | ||
| They have his address. | ||
| You can find all of his information on Twitter, all his relatives' information. | ||
| Why shouldn't he be able to protect himself? | ||
| I mean, these people are shooting at cops. | ||
| Should he plead not guilty? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| I don't think that he should plead guilty. | ||
| I mean, I don't know if the state has no contest. | ||
| Do you guys know what no contest is? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's like, are you familiar? | ||
| Basically, it means like you're pleading, you're kind of pleading guilty, but without admitting fault. | ||
| So like, you're not going to fight against it. | ||
| And so I guess you have these two cases. | ||
| The craziest thing to me about this is, is it wanted endangerment if someone shoots, like if you're standing there and someone shoots a guy next to you and hits him in the femoral artery, like that could kill you. | ||
| And then you panic and start shooting. | ||
| Is it wanted endangerment because you missed? | ||
| Versus this other guy in Louisville who was at a protest against police and started firing wildly at police and then shot two police. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| No, that seems much more intentional than the first one. | ||
| The first one seems careless and sloppy. | ||
| The second one seems intentional and kind of vindictive. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, it feels really obvious and like pointless to even talk about. | ||
| Can you define wanton endangerment? | ||
| Yeah, we should look it up. | ||
| Yeah, Google it. | ||
| Let me pull it up. | ||
| I mean, it's kind of obvious, right? | ||
| I think it's like reckless disregard for human life. | ||
| So if you're acting in a way that you're not taking into account that you could kill someone, then that would be wanton endangerment. | ||
| So was the guy who was at the protest against police who ended up shooting cops trying, are they arguing his intention wasn't to kill people? | ||
| That's what it seems like. | ||
| And it's insane to me. | ||
| What is wanton endangerment? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| Why did the, that's weird. | ||
| A Kentucky grand jury indicted one officer on wanton endangerment charges in the Brown and Taylor case. | ||
| The grand jury announced Wednesday, blah blah blah, we know all this, the word wanton, are you serious? | ||
| They're just pulling up a dictionary definition. | ||
| It means merciless and inhumane, being without check or limitation. | ||
| Wanton endangerment is, in the first degree, is a Class D felony. | ||
| If convicted, each charge holds a possible sentence of up to five years. | ||
| Taylor, an emergency medical worker, this we know. | ||
| So, what is wanton endangerment? | ||
| Is that it? | ||
| There's a legal definition. | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| According to Kentucky law. | ||
| Where? | ||
| Oh, there it is. | ||
| A person is guilty of wanton endangerment in the first degree when, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, he wantonly engages in conduct which creates a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another person. | ||
| Okay, here's why I want to show these two stories. | ||
| Because they both happened in Louisville. | ||
| The guy at the protest, where they're yelling, you know, like they literally spray paint, kill cops. | ||
| Then he pulls out his gun and he's like, bang, bang, bang. | ||
| You know, I think like 14 times. | ||
| Hitting two of them and they're like, that's wanted endangerment. | ||
| Versus a cop who's told like, here's a warrant, go to this person's house. | ||
| If they don't answer the door, you can break the door down. | ||
| They open the door, they break the door down. | ||
| Other cop gets shot, hit in the femoral artery. | ||
| And then he starts firing back and they're like, you missed. | ||
| So you're the same as the guy who was, you know, shooting at police. | ||
| I think the dude that was shooting at the cops was way more guilty. | ||
| Of wantonly doing it mercilessly. | ||
| Lack of mercy. | ||
| Like, I don't think the cop that was firing at Breanna Taylor's boyfriend was doing it out of a lack of mercy. | ||
| He was just in a craze because his buddy was bleeding out and afraid for his life. | ||
| So what do you think happens when this guy gets, I mean, I just feel so obvious and pointless to even mention. | ||
| Like, okay, so this guy's going to get found not guilty. | ||
| He pleads not guilty. | ||
| He'll be found not guilty. | ||
| And then what, more riots? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And then I'll wake up in the morning and it'll be like another day, another ride, I suppose. | ||
| I mean, could you charge him for something? | ||
| For firing indiscriminately into multiple apartments? | ||
| But I mean, is that just because he's bad at shooting? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think in the moment, though, even if you're the best shooter in the world, when somebody's shooting at your your cop partner or whatever your teammate you kind of go into a fog I mean I don't think that he was like deliberately like I'm gonna just shoot bang bang I think he was you know it was a stressful situation these moments are really tense I don't think you know how you're gonna react or how well you'll shoot or anything like that I don't understand how that could really be his fault if anything he seems like an accident | ||
| Whereas somebody shooting at cops is trying to do murder. | ||
| Well, but then maybe we should take his gun away. | ||
| That's what I'm thinking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| If he was panicking and firing his gun, then maybe... I did an interview with an NYPD detective once and he said that there were many circumstances where his life was in danger, but he did not draw his gun because he was worried that would just escalate the conflict. | ||
| And it would result in, you know, it would just jump straight to the physical confrontation if he went for his weapon. | ||
| So he just tried to, you know, talk the person down, and he said he's still alive. | ||
| It worked, right? | ||
| Here's the problem, though. | ||
| This cop has been doxxed everywhere, right? | ||
| They know where his family lives. | ||
| He's gotten threats online. | ||
| You can pull up Twitter, pull up his name. | ||
| You're gonna see a million, like, this guy should be dead. | ||
| If they've already publicized that he's not gonna have a weapon, that makes him a sitting duck. | ||
| That was my other question. | ||
| Why on earth would you publicize the fact that this man's not going to have a gun? | ||
| That's insane to me. | ||
| That's like a murder sentence. | ||
| That's like a death sentence. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If they were going to do it quietly and take his gun away quietly and keep it out of the media and leave it up for interpretation, maybe this guy's armed, maybe he's not, that would at least give him a degree of protection. | ||
| By publicizing it, he's screwed. | ||
| I think if we look at the letter of the Constitution, there's nothing barring anyone ever from having a gun, right? | ||
| Yeah, why should he not have a gun? | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| Well, I mean, because he panicked. | ||
| So the point of the story I was telling with the NYPD detective was, he told me there's nothing more dangerous than a scared person holding a gun. | ||
| There's clearly things more dangerous than a scared person holding a gun, but I get his point. | ||
| Like, if people don't know how to handle themselves in stressful situations, they're not trained properly, We saw it in New York where the cops were firing, trying to hit the suspect, and they hit like seven innocent bystanders. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Yeah, something like that. | ||
| It was crazy. | ||
| And so there's a question of, okay, if that happens, maybe that person should, like, lose their gun privileges. | ||
| You know, so this guy, he goes in. | ||
| He was told to go in. | ||
| He was doing his job. | ||
| It was a really awful, tragic situation. | ||
| And he started firing. | ||
| He's a bad shot. | ||
| Well, he missed. | ||
| But wasn't it the case that the bullets went through the wall into the other apartment? | ||
| Yeah, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| So that's a little different too, because it looks like he's shooting where he's not going to hit anyone. | ||
| And then if it goes through the wall, that's... | ||
| I think that's what happened. | ||
| Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was what happened. | ||
| I'll just tell you this, man. | ||
| It's been really crazy. | ||
| I hate Twitter. | ||
| I'm seeing people tweet about this and all the other breaking news. | ||
| People are all, for the most part, low-information belligerents in the culture war. | ||
| They don't read about this. | ||
| They don't question the intent. | ||
| They don't question the charges. | ||
| I'll lock him up and throw away the keys of murder and other people like he's innocent nothing you know it's like well hold on you have any of you like just read you can't even talk to people about it well if maybe if he shot through the walls he wasn't panicking then he was just missing yeah that's what I'm saying Like, but the other cops apparently did testify that they were telling him to, like, calm down. | ||
| Like, he was agitated, he was freaking out. | ||
| Is he the guy that hit her? | ||
| No. | ||
| Apparently he just, like, fired several times and, like, I don't know, something out of a cartoon, like, panicky, blindly firing. | ||
| But so, anyway, look. | ||
| I don't think we know the answers, but I think it's very obvious that we're all gonna... Okay, let me put it this way. | ||
| Sometimes it's really boring to talk about this stuff. | ||
| Because it's like, I agree! | ||
| I agree too! | ||
| I agree with you agreeing with him! | ||
| It's like, we get it. | ||
| We know what the answer's gonna be. | ||
| Okay, does this guy, should he have his weapon taken away? | ||
| I guess not, because people don't want to kill him. | ||
| Is he guilty of this crime? | ||
| I don't know, because he was responding to a threat. | ||
| It's very different from the guy in Louisville. | ||
| And then you just have, like, I don't know, no room for... I think that the bigger issue that I see is just social media in general and the conversation around all of this and what results and why he loses his gun, right? | ||
| These cops are only getting charged because of social media. | ||
| And you'll get these leftists saying things like, it's a good thing the activists stood up, and it's like, a bunch of people march into the police department with pitchforks and torches and smashing windows, and they go, okay, fine. | ||
| I don't think that's justice. | ||
| It's mob rule. | ||
| Yeah, it's mob rule. | ||
| I guess the other problem is, what happens when there is no justice, and no one does anything about it, and then cops end up doing bad things, or anyone does anything bad and gets away with it? | ||
| Well, I was tweeting about this the other day, actually, and people got really mad at me. | ||
| But one day there's going to be a case that's so egregious and it really is a lack of justice. | ||
| And nobody's going to listen to Black Lives Matter anymore because they've cried wolf so many times. | ||
| But it's... maybe? | ||
| And I say maybe because they seem to riot for like the worst possible people. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Did you guys see the update on the Jacob Blake story? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| The one about him being kidnapped? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I didn't realize this when I was first reading the story and it kind of went over my head and I was surprised. | ||
| We knew he stole this woman's keys. | ||
| We were told there were kids in the car. | ||
| That wasn't his car. | ||
| So whose kids were that? | ||
| Whose kids were that? | ||
| I guess, I don't know if he had kids with the lady. | ||
| So if they maybe were both of their kids or whatever, that's still kidnapping. | ||
| And so then the lawyer came out and said, the woman yelled, he's got my keys, he's got my kids. | ||
| And the cop was like, what do I do? | ||
| Dude's holding a knife. | ||
| Think about this dude, Jacob Blake, and how awful he is. | ||
| He pinned this woman down, allegedly, according to the, you know, why they wanted to arrest him. | ||
| And he abused her, you know, against her will. | ||
| I'm trying to keep the language family-friendly. | ||
| And then he left. | ||
| She files a police report. | ||
| He gets a felony warrant. | ||
| He shows back up. | ||
| She panics. | ||
| She calls 911. | ||
| He steals her keys. | ||
| Her kids are in the car, and he tries taking off with it after fighting cops. | ||
| And then you get all the NFL players putting Jacob Blake on their helmets, and they're like... Can you imagine being her? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| Well, didn't her mom tweet stuff about it? | ||
| Yeah, and they suspended her account. | ||
| Actually, I think it was her aunt. | ||
| I could be wrong. | ||
| But yeah, they suspended her account because she was like, what are you guys doing? | ||
| You're glamorizing this guy who victimized my niece. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's mob rule. | ||
| Yeah, you have this look on your face. | ||
| He's a dirtbag. | ||
| He sure is. | ||
| You're like, what? | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| And then think about they're painting his name in the street. | ||
| The players are putting his name on their helmets. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| Yeah, that's crazy to me. | ||
| So when this first went down, somebody was pointing out to me how bad I should feel about Jacob Blake because his kids were in the car watching him get gunned down. | ||
| And now I'm like, Okay, so that didn't happen. | ||
| What else have we not been? No, I I think they're his kids I guess because they were they reported that it was his | ||
| kids Maybe they had kids together | ||
| You know, maybe it was like an ex or something and he was harassing and abusing her which is even worse because now | ||
| it's like a domestic ongoing abuse circumstance now | ||
| You've got this guy's literally a domestic abuser and then you see people dancing in the street screaming his name | ||
| wearing shirts with his name on It's spray-painting his name on the ground cheering for him | ||
| What did he get, like $2 million? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| And on top of all of this, like the alleged abuse from the initial incident between Jacob Blake and the woman, that happened in her bed while her child was there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| So her, allegedly, she said that her child was in the bed when he abused her. | ||
| And then everybody's like, father of the year! | ||
| And I'm like, meh. | ||
| The kid was in the bed? | ||
| Yeah, they were sleeping. | ||
| Six-year-old, I believe. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| What's that subreddit? | ||
| NoahGetTheBoat? | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| Sounds right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| It's like a reference to like, just wipe out humanity. | ||
| Just like, flood, flood, you know. | ||
| Get the boat, we're out of here, it's over. | ||
| It's time for another flood. | ||
| This is, you know... | ||
| There was somebody who tweeted earlier today about Trump, and I don't want to drag them, but they said something like, you know, Trump could do something really offensive and his supporters would find a way to be like, woo, and cheer for it. | ||
| And then my response was Trump could do something seeming like innocuous and then the left would find a way to, you know, so I basically said Trump could overpay his taxes by millions and they would find a way to claim he paid no taxes. | ||
| And then all of these people were like, oh, here he comes, defending Trump, and I'm like, no, I'm making the same point. | ||
| Making the exact same point he was making. | ||
| That you guys sit here, pointing the finger at the right, saying all of those people are bad, and then I do the inverse, all those people are bad, and you all freak out in the exact same way you claim other people freak out. | ||
| Proving my point. | ||
| So if politics is now based on whatever group is angriest, what's the next thing that's going to happen? | ||
| We're going to arrest some little old lady baking a cake because she used chocolate icing on a vanilla cake and then everyone freaks out and they're like, you can't do that! | ||
| And then if everything is just based on how angry the group gets and we start prosecuting and arresting people or cheering for criminals, could you imagine a justice system built upon fault, like mob emotion? | ||
| That's that's yeah, I guess so. | ||
| Kind of what we're seeing. | ||
| Yeah, I see it. | ||
| So I see the social media thing. | ||
| And then I see them handing out sentences that people don't deserve and painting criminals names on their helmets. | ||
| To me, that's like a perfect storm. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And Jake Gardner was the perfect case of it. | ||
| I mean, there were no charges against him. | ||
| The D.A. | ||
| said it was self-defense. | ||
| And then they start protesting at the D.A.' 's house and causing, you know, chaos in the streets. | ||
| And they get their way. | ||
| And now he's dead. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So for those that aren't familiar with the story, Jake Gardner. | ||
| was defending his bar. | ||
| It was defending his father. | ||
| There were rioters tearing up Omaha. | ||
| He came out. | ||
| He warned them. | ||
| He had a gun. | ||
| They attacked him anyway. | ||
| He fired warning shots. | ||
| They fled. | ||
| This other dude jumped on his back, put him in a chokehold. | ||
| 18 seconds he was being choked out. | ||
| And then he fired over his shoulder, killing the dude. | ||
| And then they tried charging him. | ||
| Only because the community came together and demanded justice. | ||
| And then the dude killed himself. | ||
| Because that's not justice. | ||
| They took his business, they took his home, all his friends, and then they're going to take his freedom. | ||
| And that's where we're at right now. | ||
| And I have to wonder at what point conservatives are going to start being like, alright, defund the police. | ||
| I've seen it. | ||
| I see it in my mentions every day on Twitter. | ||
| Just saying, do it. | ||
| Especially the more libertarian leaning ones. | ||
| Like especially when you guys saw that woman, wasn't wearing a mask, in Ohio, she got tased and arrested. | ||
| No. | ||
| I heard she had asthma, did you hear that? | ||
| I didn't hear that part. | ||
| I heard that, so that's basically the gist of the story. | ||
| She's like sitting in the bleachers with her family. | ||
| They're social distancing and this cop comes and tries arresting her and she's like, get off me. | ||
| And then she gets tased. | ||
| I read somewhere that she had asthma. | ||
| I don't know if that's true, but why, you know, it would make sense. | ||
| Person has a medical condition. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Gets tased. | ||
| And then I got really angry because they all started arresting worshipers, which I'm sure, I don't know if you guys have seen this one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| They were singing in a parking lot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where was this? | |
| Like in Utah or something? | ||
| I don't remember where it was. | ||
| Idaho or Iowa? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Cops came and arrested people for singing in a parking lot without masks on. | ||
| So, you know, you take that, and you take the stories of these, like, these DAs arresting, or not arresting, but, like, prosecuting, like, a dude defending his business, and then someone like Jacob Blake, is he even being, was he arrested and charged? | ||
| Um, he, they issued the warrant on Friday, and he killed himself on Sunday. | ||
| No, no, no, no, Jacob Blake. | ||
| Oh, Jacob Blake. | ||
| They dropped the charges against him. | ||
| No. | ||
| Didn't they? | ||
| Can you look that up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Well, I know that they at least put him on hold while he was in the hospital. | ||
| I don't know if it got dropped fully or what, but I remember reading it and being like, I'm turning off the internet. | ||
| I'm done. | ||
| Man. | ||
| Is it time to just like build a fortress and retire? | ||
| No, you can't hide from this stuff. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| The United States tried to be isolationist in the past and Hitler rose to power. | ||
| You can't be an isolationist about this. | ||
| I know, I know, but what if we built like, I don't know, just like a bunch of auto-defense turrets? | ||
| Well, yeah, we should do that. | ||
| Anybody comes near... Don't hide. | ||
| Keep going out there while the auto-defense turrets are holding the base. | ||
| I don't know how you fight back against this. | ||
| You know, when I saw those worshippers get arrested, you know what the first thing I thought was, what I realized? | ||
| Because they're not going to do anything about it! | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're not. | |
| They're going to complain and go, oh, harumph, you're arresting me. | ||
| And it's messed up and they shouldn't be arrested. | ||
| There's not going to be a riot. | ||
| No one's going to smash a window. | ||
| No one's going to go out. | ||
| So they bend the knee to the extremists because they're like, please don't smash my windows. | ||
| But the worshippers, I lock them up. | ||
| It's like in Milwaukee, the guy who was sitting inside his house with a shotgun defending himself. | ||
| He gets arrested. | ||
| He's the one arrested. | ||
| They were out there for hours screaming threats at him in Bullhorn and he's the one who got arrested. | ||
| It's because the people who are on the right and who aren't the rioters, they know that these people are going to comply. | ||
| They're not going to cause a scene. | ||
| They're going to do what they're told. | ||
| And so it's easier to arrest them than it is to arrest people that are rioting. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I warned that would happen too and now it's just getting worse every day. | ||
| Now it's the cops who are going to jail and it's the criminals who are getting cheered and millions of dollars and NFL's praising them. | ||
| Think about how crazy like things have gotten. | ||
| I don't know if you guys watch It's Always Sunny. | ||
| You guys ever watch It's Always Sunny? | ||
| A couple times. | ||
| You ever see the one where they dress up like cops and then go around just like shaking people down? | ||
| It's really funny. | ||
| Sounds like them. | ||
| They go to a hot dog stand, and he's like, hey, for you guys, here's some hot dogs. | ||
| And they're like, yeah. | ||
| They keep coming back and demanding more. | ||
| And then Dennis is like, you trying to jam me up? | ||
| You trying to jam me up? | ||
| It's really funny. | ||
| But I bring that up because it's like, as cops, they get a free hot dog. | ||
| People are nice to them. | ||
| That's not the way things go anymore. | ||
| Now it's like the cop goes into Starbucks, and they get the stink eye. | ||
| And everyone hates them. | ||
| But you know what this does? | ||
| I have to wonder if it's kind of on purpose because then it makes cops angry and short. | ||
| Because now they're gonna be like, I don't care. | ||
| You don't care about me? | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Now they go out and there's some person who has no idea what's going on, you know, doping about like minding their own business. | ||
| They jaywalk and the cop's like, I've had it! | ||
| Grabs them and says, shut your mouth! | ||
| And gives them a ticket and they're like, why was that cop so mean to me? | ||
| Then they go and they find this group of people who are like, the cops are bad, aren't they? | ||
| And they go, yeah! | ||
| I admittedly laughed too hard at that video. | ||
| this hate and this anger, the cops get angry, and then it just makes everyone angry, and | ||
| then it gives the left the justification when cops act a fool. | ||
| There was a video in Seattle, I think it was Seattle, where the cop was walking his bike | ||
| and he rides it over some dude's head. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Geez. | |
| I admittedly laughed too hard at that video. | ||
| I watched it like 20 times. | ||
| I can have a sense of humor about things, but think about it. | ||
| This dude was just doing some hippy-dippy lay-down. | ||
| The cop could have just picked him up and then, you know, cuffed him and walked him away. | ||
| If you've got cops who can't keep their temper, I get why he's mad. | ||
| But that video's gonna go viral and it's gonna be used as perfect propaganda. | ||
| It's gonna go viral on Facebook, it's gonna make somebody a ton of money, and then it's gonna make people hate cops even more. | ||
| It's crazy to me, that cop did that, and nothing happened. | ||
| No charges? | ||
| No complaints? | ||
| Like... For sure. | ||
| You gotta remember that these riot cops are taking extreme amounts of abuse too though. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| Some of them are bound to be like, screw you people, you know? | ||
| But shouldn't- so I'll tell you what. | ||
| If you have a bunch of protesters that are acting peacefully, and one of the protesters starts freaking out and starts, you know, swinging at people, shouldn't the protesters stop him? | ||
| Like, there was that one video where the guy was hammering at the ground, and they grabbed him and threw him to the cops. | ||
| I didn't see that one. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| So if there's one cop who's like, sees a guy laying on the ground and then runs his bike over his head, shouldn't the other cops grab that cop and at least relieve him of duty for the night? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because imagine, remember Scott Olsen? | ||
| In Oakland? | ||
| What was it? | ||
| The guy with the chalk? | ||
| No, no, this was the guy who got shot in the head with a tear gas canister in Oakland. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This was back during Occupy. | ||
| This dude's just standing there. | ||
| He's like, he's really just standing there, like his eyes half closed almost. | ||
| And then all of a sudden he gets hit in the head by some kind of less lethal and just like drops to the ground. | ||
| Then when people tried running to grab him, you see a cop actually chuck a flashbang at him. | ||
| And then it goes boom and everyone like jumps away. | ||
| And that made all of the protests bigger and last longer. | ||
| So I'm saying, if you see a cop who's like, I'm really angry, so I'm gonna ride my bike over this guy's head, the other cops should be like, dude, don't mess it up for the rest of us. | ||
| At the very least, take him and tell him to go home. | ||
| Yeah, it could have been an accident, too, though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nah, it went right for him. | |
| That's the thing. | ||
| Somebody posted this really annoying meme where he's like, if you're anti-Antifa, that means you're pro-fascist. | ||
| And so my response was like, if there are a bunch of people who are anti-Islamic and they're violent, so I complain about them, does that make me Islamic or pro-Islam? | ||
| And they were like, it makes you pro-Islam. | ||
| I was like, does it really? | ||
| Because I don't think that's true. | ||
| And I said, what about Christianity? | ||
| Who are going around, you know, attacking Christians. | ||
| If I say that's bad, don't do that. | ||
| But I also think we shouldn't have religion in government. | ||
| Does that make me pro-Christian? | ||
| No, it makes you pro-equality. | ||
| Pro-human rights. | ||
| Plus, being anti-fascist doesn't mean that you're against fascism. | ||
| You can call yourself anti-violence and beat the hell out of people. | ||
| Well, so here's what he said. | ||
| I mentioned, like, smashing up businesses and stuff. | ||
| I was like, okay, tell me this. | ||
| What should I do if people claim they're anti-fascist and they're white and they go around smashing up the black community? | ||
| Acknowledge that they're fascist. | ||
| No, it's not fascist, it's authoritarian. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But his response was, then you need to learn to empathize with why people would feel the need to do that. | ||
| That's true too. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| You have to do multiple things in that situation. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| A bunch of white, upper class, suburbanite progressives going to Atlanta and smashing up black businesses. | ||
| There's no empathizing with that. | ||
| You have to empathize because if you just keep killing the people that act like that, people will never stop acting like that. | ||
| You have to figure out why and address the root cause as well as cancel the people. | ||
| I get it, bro, but it's because they believe stupid things. | ||
| For the most part, I think so, yeah. | ||
| You don't have to empathize. | ||
| You can understand. | ||
| And you can try and be like, hey, that's dumb. | ||
| Stop doing that. | ||
| I bring this up because it's like, I totally get the cops are under duress. | ||
| They're being attacked. | ||
| They got bricks. | ||
| Dude, they threw a Molotov at that line. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A huge Molotov. | |
| And that's not just going to kill you. | ||
| If you survive, you're maimed for life. | ||
| Like horrific maiming. | ||
| People don't realize you have pores in your skin to keep from the moisture escaping. | ||
| When you get scar tissue, it dries out really fast because the pores aren't getting the oil out or whatever. | ||
| I'm not a biologist. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| And so when you get burned, you're constantly skin's cracking, you have to wear gloves or something to cover it. | ||
| Throwing a molotov at someone is arguably worse or scarier than just even shooting at them. | ||
| Because when someone starts shooting, you can get down. | ||
| You get shot, you can get surgery, you can get fixed up. | ||
| You get your skin seared off? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I'm not going to empathize with a cop who is, you know, super angry and freaking out and then attacks somebody. | ||
| I'm not going to empathize with a protester or any of the protesters who don't stop the extremists from committing acts of violence. | ||
| But I'll tell you the main difference. | ||
| When Antifa goes out and they're throwing explosives, the rest of the protesters are like, they respect the diversity of tactics and they just stand there. | ||
| At least the cops can get in trouble, right? | ||
| There's no circumstance, in my opinion, for the most part, where the protesters are gonna be like, we better have a council meeting about, you know, that John Doe, Antifa guy who was throwing explosives, never gonna happen. | ||
| But if you get a cop who does something bad, there is still a possibility, even if it is not nearly, you know, likely enough, the cop's gonna get in trouble. | ||
| Or that some other person's... Like, think about... With Breonna Taylor, you had one of the cops testify, the dude, Hankison, was, like, stressed, and he was like, dude, you gotta chill. | ||
| That kind of hearing will never happen with Antifa. | ||
| They don't talk to cops, they run away, and there's no accountability for any of them. | ||
| So I look at the two groups, I see one as particularly more dangerous. | ||
| Unaccountable lunatics running around smashing things. | ||
| So I get why the police are trying to stop them. | ||
| But if the cops go out and one cop gets really angry and then pushes a journalist to the | ||
| ground and she hits her face in the ground. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| You just made 10 more protesters. | ||
| This is gonna make everything worse. | ||
| So I get it, man. | ||
| Cops got a hard job, but... Nah, man. | ||
| Like, at a certain point, you combine things like that, you combine that with churchgoers getting arrested, getting fined, you know, women at, like... I wouldn't be surprised if we come to a point where you'll start seeing conservatives be like, I'm not gonna defend them right now. | ||
| Nah. | ||
| You want to arrest a gym owner and a small business owner? | ||
| Why would I defend you? | ||
| And that was kind of happening earlier. | ||
| Yeah, that was happening after Milwaukee real bad. | ||
| They were like, you know, what's going on here? | ||
| Go ahead, defend the Milwaukee police. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, everybody was saying that. | ||
| I do think it's hilarious that Minneapolis, like, failed. | ||
| You know, so the city councilmen, you know, they all voted to defund the police. | ||
| And then crime skyrocketed. | ||
| And then they couldn't defund the police because people kept calling and complaining. | ||
| Like, why aren't the police doing anything? | ||
| It's like, well, maybe it's because you've been demonizing them. | ||
| And that's crazy to me. | ||
| Like, what happened to the era where the cop would show up to the donut shop and they'd be like, a free dozen for the department, you know? | ||
| And now it's basically like a cop shows up and they're like, he's a witch! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Burn him! | |
| Keep him out of the story. | ||
| I wouldn't be scared to order anything from like a fast food joint while in uniform. | ||
| I wouldn't do it. | ||
| I don't know how cops are doing it right now. | ||
| Let's talk about Brad Parscale because this kind of plays into that. | ||
| Have you guys seen the video of what happened to Brad? | ||
| Yeah, I watched it. | ||
| This is the weirdest thing. | ||
| So Brad Parscale is Trump's ex-campaign manager, and the narrative from the left is that he screwed up, Trump got really mad and fired him. | ||
| He was demoted, right, but he was unofficially fired. | ||
| Now they're claiming he's unwell, depressed, and we have a story where they're saying his wife runs out of their house. | ||
| Screaming that her husband she says I think my husband just killed himself And she like jumps in a car and this witness says the woman was bruised and freaking out they call 9-1-1 Apparently the police said that when they arrived and looked through the window They're like marksmen out there. | ||
| They saw him sitting on the floor with his dog drinking a beer and so I'm like that I In the video, too. | ||
| He's just, like, chillin' with the Bud Light. | ||
| Yeah, right, right. | ||
| And then they slam him to the ground. | ||
| This is actually kind of, uh... It actually is kind of funny, because... Brad comes out, and he's, like, just in his shorts, no shirt, drinking a beer. | ||
| And he's, like, very slowly, like, I didn't do anything, like, what's going on? | ||
| And the cop's like, just come over here, buddy, we're gonna talk. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, like, five cops start yelling, get on the ground! | ||
| And they run up to him, and one guy grabs him by the waist and just body slams him. | ||
| And then Brad just puts his hands up, and he's like, what did I do? | ||
| I didn't do anything! | ||
| The funny thing is, there were a couple people tweeting, like, you know, is this how we treat people? | ||
| Like, is this what cops do? | ||
| And the left is laughing about it. | ||
| They're like, yes, this is what cops do. | ||
| Like, when someone gets called for a mental health issue, a bunch of cops show up with guns, and they body slam them. | ||
| But this story's kind of crazy, because I don't know if I believe it. | ||
| You know? Am I supposed to get in the middle of whatever this like domestic dispute is between him and his wife and | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| just assume that he's like this villainous bad guy when I don't even know what happened? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All the tweets about it are basically saying he's a wife-beating, you know, Trumper, conman, blah blah blah. | ||
| I feel very uncomfortable even like talking about it. | ||
| I tried not... I didn't even write about it for Gateway. | ||
| I was like, this is... It just seems like a personal situation. | ||
| It also seems like we don't know what happened. | ||
| You know, cops showed up, dude got slammed to the ground, and I don't know. | ||
| But, man, this goes into, like, what I've been feeling about social media is low information, angry people. | ||
| Because the left is just basically saying that You know, he's a wife beater. | ||
| End of story. | ||
| Don't care. | ||
| Don't need evidence. | ||
| Don't need proof. | ||
| But meanwhile, Jacob Blake was a pristine human being. | ||
| Right, right, right, right, right. | ||
| It was, um, what's the kid? | ||
| Uh, they got up in the Native American Vietnam era. | ||
| Nicholas Sandman. | ||
| Yeah, the Sandman thing is what really turned the corner for me. | ||
| When I saw that, I was infuriated at him. | ||
| I thought he definitely was egging that guy on, and I almost tweeted it out. | ||
| I almost went social media ham and I just for whatever reason didn't. | ||
| I took a breath and I and then like, you know, eight hours later, it starts to realize he's just nervous and kind of holding his ground. | ||
| Well, I don't understand why anyone just spun that so hard. | ||
| I don't understand why anyone cared about that in the first place. | ||
| I went into mom mode so hard. | ||
| The second I saw it, I was like, that is a nervous little boy. | ||
| How dare you? | ||
| I went crazy. | ||
| I like I came out flying. | ||
| I thought he was like a punk, like a punk kid. | ||
| I was like, look at this son of a. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not me. | |
| My daughter does the same thing though. | ||
| I want to beat his face. | ||
| Like, who does he think he is getting in that old veteran's face? | ||
| Like I was so mad. | ||
| And then I read it was all news spin. | ||
| My daughter does the same thing, though. | ||
| Like if she gets nervous, she'll like smile and she'll just like hang out. | ||
| And so I saw him doing it and I was like, that's what Rory does. | ||
| That's what kids do when they're like scared or intimidated or overwhelmed. | ||
| They try and like be cool, be calm. | ||
| But it's not even that. | ||
| It's like that clip was like 20 seconds. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In the slightly longer clip, you see him going like, you know, doing the kill it hand gesture to other people, like stop it, leave him alone. | ||
| He was actually trying to chill everything out. | ||
| I first saw that video out of context, the way everyone else saw it. | ||
| And I didn't care. | ||
| I was like, what is this? | ||
| People were signing to me like crazy. | ||
| Did you see what this kid did? | ||
| And I watch it and I'm like, so? | ||
| I don't care if he did walk up to the dude and got in his face. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Are you nuts? | ||
| You know how many things I've seen in Chicago where I'm like, it's a million times worse? | ||
| I've seen people just walk up to a random car and start screaming and then start throwing rocks at it. | ||
| A kid walking up to a dude, to me, is very low on my priorities. | ||
| Then it turned out to be fake news and then it jumped up on my list of priorities because I'm like, why is everybody lying about this kid? | ||
| This is the weirdest thing. | ||
| That's money? | ||
| No, what is it? | ||
| information, angry people. | ||
| And that's our government now. | ||
| That's I think that's mostly the Democrats, though. | ||
| I think the Republicans like Lindsey Graham is panicking. | ||
| I don't I don't know. You hear like his. Have you ever anything about it? | ||
| Yes. Money troubles. | ||
| No. | ||
| Like he went on Fox apparently and was like, I need money. | ||
| Donate to me. I'm getting killed. | ||
| Yeah. Because he drinks too much. | ||
| I just don't do it all on liquor. | ||
| When RBG died, his opponent got $16 million in funds in one day. | ||
| So he's like, I have a problem. | ||
| I should probably work on this. | ||
| It's way more than his first game. | ||
| I'm looking forward to all of the establishment politicians, all the incumbents, just bye bye. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Massey can stay. | |
| I talk about Lindsey Graham like he's an alcoholic because he's got those bloodshot eyes. | ||
| I really don't know if he's an alcoholic, but he looks like he just has a drinking problem. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, sorry Lindsey if you don't. | ||
| Lindsey comes across to me as like... | ||
| Actually, what's the easiest way to explain it? | ||
| He's, like, scared of everybody, so he won't do anything, you know? | ||
| It's like the Republicans are yelling at him, like, do something! | ||
| And he's like, oh, geez, like, and looks to the left. | ||
| He's like the shell of a man from the alcohol. | ||
| He just doesn't do anything. | ||
| I blame the alcohol, because I've been through drinking binges, and I have, like, no self-esteem afterwards. | ||
| I'm, like, shattered. | ||
| How did he keep winning anyway? | ||
| What were we talking about before I brought him up anyway? | ||
| Fake news. | ||
| Lindsey Graham begging for money. | ||
| I just don't like Democrats or Republicans. | ||
| It's because Trump got elected and he's all emotional so now everyone's acting emotional. | ||
| He's scared. | ||
| Yeah, he got elected and did it emotionally. | ||
| He yelled it, called Hillary Clinton stupid a bunch, made everyone laugh, just a big emotional... Trump did that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Trump. | |
| It was a big emotional circus to get elected, and now the whole country's in emotional overload. | ||
| Nah, Trump didn't make that happen. | ||
| Well, he's an actor. | ||
| For sure, but Trump is a symptom of the cultural change, not the cause of it. | ||
| Go deeper on that. | ||
| that. Well, like the culture war and Gamergate type circumstances in this | ||
| rage was was building up for a long time before Trump got elected. Trump got | ||
| elected partly because of that anger and because people memed him into office. It | ||
| was magical. Have you guys seen the Keck documentary thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just watched it the other night. This is the... I wish we could just sit here | |
| and play it like eat popcorn. | ||
| I actually felt bad for him, and I was like, oh no, what's wrong with me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
For who? | |
| Sympathizing with Fury, whatever his name is. | ||
| Oh, the Pepe guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You're talking about like the Pepe documentary, right? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| The meme magic... There's a video they made back in like 2016 that explains all these really weird coincidences around Kek. | ||
| You know Kek, you had the little things at the deplorable. | ||
| So Kek, what is it, like an Egyptian god? | ||
| And he's like a frog? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And Kek is, in World of Warcraft, when you would type LOL, the opposing faction would see the word Kek. | ||
| K-E-K. | ||
| So people started saying Kek as like, as LOL, because it was, you know, it was funny. | ||
| And then it became a meme. | ||
| And then it became associated with Pepe and jokes. | ||
| It became associated with the right. | ||
| Then it turns out that Keck or like, you know, whatever the God's name was, it's like a real thing. | ||
| And people think that it's like, like jokingly, I guess. | ||
| I'm sure some people really believe it. | ||
| Like they memed Trump into office with like meme magic. | ||
| It's real. | ||
| You know what's funny though is they're basically saying prayer. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like they're saying collective conscious and like all of this like energy constantly you know just pushing this idea results in Trump getting elected. | ||
| The bigger point is outside of any ideas of faith or magic is that Whatever Trump is and is doing, he won because of the changes. | ||
| So you think Gamergate started it? | ||
| I think Gamergate was the spark of the culture. | ||
| When was that? | ||
| 2014? | ||
| I think it was like 2013. | ||
| What happened exactly? | ||
| Oh man, you're gonna have to find the old gaming historians. | ||
| I remember hearing about it and just ignoring it because I thought it was so silly. | ||
| Well, if you ask the likes of, I don't know, BuzzFeed or Vox or The Verge, they'll say it was when a bunch of alt-right misogynists started harassing women because they didn't like women playing video games. | ||
| Which is reductionist and ridiculous because there's like no substance to that argument. | ||
| If you ask Gamergate people, they'll probably say something more to the effect of, there's an incestuous relationship between advertisers, game developers, and gaming websites. | ||
| And so what was happening is, a gaming company is putting out a game, right? | ||
| Like, you know, Ian's Great Adventure. | ||
| Let's say you make that game. | ||
| Ian's Great Adventure. | ||
| Ian Rim. | ||
| It's like Skyrim, but you know, it's you. | ||
| Very fun. | ||
| And you want to sell games. | ||
| So you sponsor a gaming website. | ||
| They're not going to write bad things about you. | ||
| Because then they're going to lose a sponsorship. | ||
| So you're basically paying them to publish a press release. | ||
| Then they write a story and they're like, dude, Ian Quest is so amazing! | ||
| And then people play it and they're like, dude, this game is terrible. | ||
| And then they get mad and they're like, why was the review positive? | ||
| One of their advertisers is... Oh, so it was like a scandal and that's where the gate came from? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I see. | ||
| Yeah, and so, depending on who you ask, you'll get different responses. | ||
| The establishment media people, who like, you know, infected and infiltrated mainstream news organizations, will claim it was just a bunch of angry misogynists who hate women. | ||
| But that makes no sense because it's like, where did that come from? | ||
| Like, what made a bunch of people angry? | ||
| It was a bunch of four-year-olds watching porn in 2004. | ||
| Now they're all adults. | ||
| I don't think that's it. | ||
| I'm screeching because they're all like, they don't understand how to have sex with a woman, basically. | ||
| They're like 20 years old and they haven't had a girlfriend. | ||
| Are you talking about the journalists? | ||
| It's just why people are crazy. | ||
| Why young men are angry at women. | ||
| Oh, that's true, though, dude. | ||
| Dude, for sure. | ||
| I was talking to this young guy several months ago who was like 26 or something. | ||
| And he was just like a virgin. | ||
| Couldn't get a date. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I mentioned this on like a bunch of videos before. | ||
| But let me know what you think about this. | ||
| Here's my basic theory. | ||
| Before the age of mobile technology and dating apps like Tinder, young women and young men were in the same place at college. | ||
| And so the dating pool for women was limited to the men in their circle. | ||
| The 35-year-old dude who's got his own house and got a car and all that stuff, he's probably not going to meet this 20-year-old woman for the most part. | ||
| He's got his own family too. | ||
| No, he doesn't have a family. | ||
| A lot of guys aren't getting married. | ||
| But the point I'm making is, when you get now, the dating apps enter the scene. | ||
| Now, young women at colleges have a dating pool that has expanded outside of college to anywhere they're willing to drive to. | ||
| So they expand their radius from the one square mile around the school where all the other men of the same age are, they expand it to 25 miles, all of a sudden now they're seeing older, successful guys who are like 30, 35, got a car, got a house, and so they swipe right on that guy, and then they swipe right on the 20-year-old guy as well, who's at the university. | ||
| He's like, oh, cool, he goes to school with me. | ||
| Then they get two messages. | ||
| The guy at the university says, hey, do you want to go down to the cafeteria and grab a bite? | ||
| Then the 35-year-old guy says, hey, you want to hop in my car and drive to the lake and then, you know, go explore and do these fun things? | ||
| I got tons of cash. | ||
| Which ones are you going to pick? | ||
| For the most part, you've got a guy with resources and you've got a guy who's in college like her. | ||
| There's probably a tendency moving towards these established guys who have cash. | ||
| So then what ends up happening is these younger guys are competing with established career men, which means they're dropping off. | ||
| And this data was actually published by the Washington Post that young men, I think under the age of 29, this is a couple years ago, are like 30% more likely to be a virgin at this time compared to the previous generation. | ||
| Like it's getting worse and worse and worse. | ||
| It's worse a little bit for women, but not for the most part. | ||
| I think it's because if a woman has a choice between a broke college guy and even somebody who's only a few years older who's got a job, she's going to pick the guy with the job. | ||
| I mean, that makes sense, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So now what do you do when you've got a bunch of young men who can't get dates? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They start wishing for a traditionalist 1950s housewife where there was like dowries and, you know, marriages were arranged or something. | ||
| Made it all easier, you know? | ||
| They didn't have to worry about it. | ||
| Social media changed everything. | ||
| Made competition much more difficult. | ||
| I wonder where that'll leave us off, you know? | ||
| Yeah, really? | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| We need like a moral compass. | ||
| We need like some sort of, I don't know if it's a man, like Jordan Peterson was great about giving young men purpose and cleaning your room and taking care of yourself first. | ||
| And then women will be attracted to you if you take care of yourself. | ||
| Maybe, maybe this will result in people becoming more religious. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or redefining religion too. | ||
| Because, you know, Buddhism is interesting religion, I think. | ||
| Like, maybe there'll be a new religion. | ||
| A new, like, take care of yourself religion. | ||
| Yeah, it's called, it's called anititarianism. | ||
| And the Democrats have adopted it. | ||
| Hopefully there's a better one than that. | ||
| Like, Peterson was onto something. | ||
| He's a prophet. | ||
| That guy's, that guy's a, he could be canonized in the future, I think. | ||
| But what's, what's his ideology, you know? | ||
| Just take care of yourself first. | ||
| Individualism, hard work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's very conservative. | ||
| I mean, I'm not saying he's conservative, but. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He's not very conservative, but he speaks conservative morals. | ||
| But, oh, he's very liberal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Young people aren't getting married anymore. | ||
| They're not having kids. | ||
| So what happens, you know? | ||
| Matthew Iglesias, for Vox, wrote this article, I guess. | ||
| I think it was him. | ||
| Called, like, the case for one billion Americans. | ||
| And then he, like, did an interview with Glenn Beck. | ||
| And people started attacking him for it. | ||
| But he made a really good point that we need more Americans. | ||
| I don't know if he was making an argument for immigration or just people having more babies, but he was like, the biggest problems we have with competing with these other countries, particularly China, is that they have a massive population, more than three times, almost four times the US. | ||
| And so there needs to be way more Americans who hold American values and these constitutional republic and liberal democratic values. | ||
| Otherwise, you'll end up with a globe dominated by people who don't have those values. | ||
| Unless you want to, you know, dominate by force, I guess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You can either be more influential by like having the Americans have like 10,000 followers on YouTube for every Chinese guy that has like 1,000. | ||
| So you've got a 10 to 1 influence ratio there, or you can have 10 times as many people. | ||
| So like there's different ways to influence the globe. | ||
| But if you just, if he's making the case for more immigration, if you're just bringing people in from everywhere, then they're not gonna have the same ideals, necessarily. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't know if he was specifically saying immigration, but that's why having a system, like, I don't know if you guys have ever seen the game, if you can call it a game, Life Genesis. | ||
| No. | ||
| There's a symbol, the hacker community, the hacker symbol is called the glider and it's a reference to, I don't know if the game is called LifeGenesis, I think it is, it's a simple algorithm where lights turn on and off and it's like simulating, if the algorithm, you know, ideals are met then it expands and grows and like develops more life and stuff like that. | ||
| And the reason I bring this up is there's a version of it that I used to have on Windows when I was a kid, where it had two different colors. | ||
| And if you have a big mass of blue dots popping into and out of existence, and you put a small handful of red into it, they just turn blue. | ||
| But if you flood it with, like, 50% red, then they start battling, and then start changing, and then one side wins and the other side's destroyed. | ||
| And if you obviously have more red, or just keep firing, you know, the red dots, the blue ones eventually evaporate. | ||
| So if these people really do believe that equality and equity are good things, then they want to make sure to preserve the American system, because I don't think there's any other country on the planet, specifically European countries in America, outside of these specific areas. | ||
| Massive populations of the world that are, what, six or seven times bigger than Europe and the U.S. | ||
| do not have these values. | ||
| So if these values end up getting lost due to just carelessness, you know, I'm not saying like any one thing, like if no one cares about upholding these values, they won't exist. | ||
| And that's it, they're gone. | ||
| And if they're forgotten, we were talking about that a couple nights ago with Seamus, like storing our information for the future generations, how will it be stored? | ||
| And I thought maybe it will be stored in orbit. | ||
| Maybe there will be a... Why orbit? | ||
| Because maybe there'll be a firestorm on the surface, and then we'll need to somehow remember You know, our past. | ||
| Like, 12,800 years ago, there was a flood, and, like, everything was wiped out. | ||
| Atlantis was lost, all this civilization, and all the morals and teachings from that time were basically washed away. | ||
| Assuming those things were real. | ||
| Yeah, assuming that the flood was real, but it seems to be, you know, according to Randall Carlson and other geologists. | ||
| There's, there's, like, yeah, the flood myth, like, exists in a bunch of different cultures. | ||
| That's kind of crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then, wasn't it, who was that guy on Joe Rogan who was talking about how the Sphinx is actually older? | ||
| It could have been Graham Hancock. | ||
| Or Randall Carlson, they worked together. | ||
| I think it was Graham Hancock. | ||
| He was saying, like, the Sphinx is actually way older than we realize. | ||
| Could have been Robert's shock, also. | ||
| Because it shows signs of water damage. | ||
| Yeah, dude, when there was a lot of rain. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In North Africa. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Before the flood. | ||
| I think that's a lot of ocean sand in Africa. | ||
| Apparently, if you look at Google Maps and you zoom in on the west coast of Africa and you look, you can see that it looks like it was a wave pushed all that sand up onto the continent. | ||
| That's where they think Atlantis is. | ||
| Yeah, the eye of the Sahara. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| The Ricard structure. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| I don't know if that's true. | ||
| It fits Plato's measurements almost exactly. | ||
| It's like 28 kilometers in diameter. | ||
| And it's got the erosion where the waterfalls would have been and all that stuff. | ||
| Oh yeah, it's amazing. | ||
| Yeah, I read something though debunking that, or at least purporting to debunk it. | ||
| I'd like to believe those things are true, but I don't know, man. | ||
| I'd like to go there. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| I was kind of thinking about, this is kind of crazy, we had Seamus Coughlin from Freedom Tunes on. | ||
| Do you know Freedom Tunes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Sorry. | ||
| You will. | ||
| He's Catholic, right? | ||
| And he's religious, you know, he's very, he's Catholic, right? Yeah, very Catholic. And I started thinking about a | ||
| lot of things he said about Catholicism. And I started thinking about this quote about simulism, you know what simulism | ||
|
unidentified
|
is? And it's like someone said, simulation theory is just religion for nerds. And I'm like, it really is like | |
| basically the same thing. | ||
| And you can really find analogs between religion and this idea of simulation. | ||
| It's just, I don't know, one doesn't seem as magical, then, you know, and it kind of explains it. | ||
| So what if that's really what it is? | ||
| Once we start understanding how computers work and how quantum physics work, and we start understanding that it all may be a simulation, all we've really done is re-explained what religion was saying the whole time. | ||
| Or I should specifically, like, Abrahamic religions were saying the whole time. | ||
| Keck's an interesting, you know, point along that thought because it just came out of nowhere. | ||
| You know, Keck, lol, lol, but it means a frog god. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| Can you try and look that up? | ||
| There's a whole rabbit hole there. | ||
| It's so crazy, dude. | ||
| It will blow your mind. | ||
| Like, there were posts on 4chan where they were like, Donald Trump will get elected, and the whole code, what is it called, the trip code, was all sevens. | ||
| Like, just ridiculous things were happening. | ||
| They were like, Keck wills that all sevens appear, and people were like, what? | ||
| Like, that's a lottery ticket. | ||
| There's a whole bunch of crazy stuff about this. | ||
| Yeah, but everything now is like about Kekistan or whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's not really a documentary. | ||
| It's just like a video explaining Kek and meme magic. | ||
| Try typing that in. | ||
| What's the... Oh, what were you going to say? | ||
| They just put one out too about the artist who created Pepe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I didn't want to be sympathetic towards him, but then I was like, man, this guy just wants to draw frogs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then he's got the ADL coming after him. | ||
| I think he sued the wrong people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But... Who did he sue? | ||
| He sued, like, Alex Jones and a bunch of right-wing people. | ||
| But all he was trying to do the whole time was get his frog off of the ADL hate list. | ||
| And so it's like, man, just sue the ADL. | ||
| Stop suing everybody else. | ||
| Did you hear that Fred Perry is going to ban? | ||
| They're discontinuing the black and gold shirts because the Proud Boys wear them? | ||
| Enrique had a good response to that. | ||
| He was like, we should pick his most popular color and adopt it. | ||
| And just keep playing a game of whack-a-mole. | ||
| How stupid is that? | ||
| Oh, here we go. | ||
| Keck mythology. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Kek is the deification of the concept of primordial darkness in the ancient Egyptian Aghdad cosmogony of Hemopolis. | ||
| The Ogdod consisted of four pairs of deities, four male gods, paired with their female counterparts. | ||
| Kek's female counterpart was Kauket. | ||
| Kek and Kauket, in some aspects, also represent night and day, and were called Razor-Up-of-the-Light and Razor-Up-of-the-Night. | ||
| The name is written as KK or KKYW, with a variant on sky hieroglyph in ligature with a staff associated with the word for darkness. | ||
| So wait, are they saying that Kek is bad? | ||
| Well, he's dark. | ||
| Darkness isn't necessarily bad. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| In popular culture, they say, in relation to the 2016 presidential election, individuals associated with online message boards, such as 4chan, noted the similarity between Kek and the character Pepe the Frog. | ||
| This combined with the frequent use of the term Kek as a stand-in for slang LOL, and they explain some... Okay. | ||
| Which was often paired with images of Pepe resulted in a resurgence of interest in the ancient deity. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| The funny thing is, I guess like, what was the- the image of Cack looked like someone sitting at a computer screen? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's so crazy, dude. | ||
| Along the base of the statue or something. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I think that was fake, though. | ||
| Was that fake? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I like to believe. | ||
| Yeah, I know, it's fun to believe. | ||
| But it is true that there's an ancient god, Kak, and that Kak is, like, a thing they were saying, and there's a frog, and like- The Egyptians had batteries, and light bulbs. | ||
| Yeah, light bulbs? | ||
| According to hieroglyphics, there's a hieroglyphic of them holding a giant bulb with what looks like a filament inside, and then a guy holding a battery behind him. | ||
| There was one thing I saw, the prophecy of Cac. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| So this right here, you can see there's a person, then there's this thing and whatever that is behind it. | ||
| And they're like, person using a computer, internet meme magic. | ||
| It's kind of dumb because this squiggly line, they're just like, I don't know, just call it meme magic. | ||
| Like, you don't know what that is. | ||
| Yeah, it could be DNA, whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But it does look like someone sitting at a computer. | |
| I don't think that's real though. | ||
| I doubt they had computers, but that's just doubt. | ||
| No, I think somebody made that up. | ||
| No, I think someone made the symbol. | ||
| Like I'm saying it's not a real Egyptian symbol. | ||
| I could be wrong. | ||
| Or Trump could be magical and he's gonna win again. | ||
| That's predicted. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, uh, if Kek is the bad guy, if he's the darkness... Well, the darkness isn't always bad. | ||
| You know, you can't have the light without the dark. | ||
| That's how the theory goes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, why is... the dark is just, I guess, a stand-in for bad, because we died at night. | ||
| It was cold, crops wouldn't grow, and the bear would get you. | ||
| It's because we're so visual. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Snake probably loves the dark. | ||
| Snake? | ||
| Yeah, the snakes and the cats, they probably love the dark. | ||
| They eat us? | ||
| That's when they would eat us. | ||
| No, the cats are crepuscular. | ||
| They can see at night, though. | ||
| What do you mean, corpuscular? | ||
| Crepuscular. | ||
| They come out at dawn and dusk. | ||
| That's why Bucko's, like, sleeping during the show, and then he wakes up right when we're done, because he's like, oh, time to get up! | ||
| It's like, you know, it's getting dark out. | ||
| Did you hear about those lions in Africa? | ||
| There were, like, two lions that would, they went in and they ate, like, everyone in a camp, and they attacked right at, like, two in the morning. | ||
| They were not very crepuscular in that instance, so I think that's why humans hear in the dark. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, but, you know, it was also, like, when it was cold and dark out, you couldn't grow crops. | ||
| And so people would be like, the darkness is bad and scary and we're gonna die. | ||
| It's kind of weird, though, because we loved looking at the stars. | ||
| So the dark wasn't, you know, really bad. | ||
| I think... I wouldn't know enough about religions to actually say whether this is true or not, but, like, the Eastern religions probably viewed it more balanced, like the way you're saying it. | ||
| And the Westerns seemed to view it more negatively. | ||
| You know, like, yin-yang, light and dark balanced together. | ||
| But maybe not, you know. | ||
| Did God create light and dark? | ||
| Is that what they say in Genesis? | ||
| So maybe it's just people eventually adopted that as some kind of, you know. | ||
| Yeah, there were like sun-worshipping cults, and then there were like moon-worshipping cults. | ||
| I think the Aryans were moon-worshippers. | ||
| They would come out at night, which is part of why their skin was so light, I think. | ||
| Someone told me that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Nah, it's not. | ||
| I mean, they were... I've heard that they were into like occult stuff. | ||
| I don't know if that's true, though. | ||
| The Aryans? | ||
| The ancient Aryans? | ||
| Oh, the ancient Aryans? | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| I don't know much about their history, but I heard that they were moon-dwellers. | ||
| Yeah, we just went off into like crazy. | ||
| Yeah, but it's because of Keck, man. | ||
| So what does this mean for November 3rd? | ||
| Who's gonna win? | ||
| It's a simulation. | ||
| It's a religion. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Is Trump gonna win on November 3rd? | ||
| I think that he's gonna win unless there's cheating. | ||
| They're cheating, dude. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think they're cheating, so it could go either way. | ||
| But I thought that they were gonna cheat and steal it in 2016, too. | ||
| But they're literally cheating and we're watching them do it right now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did you see them throw all the ballots away? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Which time? | ||
| They're saying that those are old ballots, though, to be fair. | ||
| They're claiming that those are from 2018. | ||
| Did you see James O'Keefe's video? | ||
| What time is it? | ||
| Did you see James O'Keefe's video? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, so the dude's driving around, like, shaking ballots like, look at this! | ||
| Gonna get paid tonight! | ||
| The craziest part of all of this is that the media is like, oh, they're spreading conspiracy theories that there's ballot harvesting and all this stuff, and they're trying to illegitimize the election. | ||
| And it's like, dude, you guys have been trying to illegitimize the election for four years. | ||
| This whole Russia hoax and all this stuff that you guys have been doing has been an effort to delegitimize the election. | ||
| And now you're going to be like, The right's crazy for doing this. | ||
| That's the game. | ||
| Even before the WikiLeaks, the Hillary Clinton emails delegitimized the Democratic National Committee's support of Bernie. | ||
| Yeah, I mean they were giving the debate questions to Clinton. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| Among a bunch of other really messed up things. | ||
| Like, it was totally rigged. | ||
| And we weren't supposed to know about it. | ||
| But because of WikiLeaks, we do. | ||
| And what if that really is why Trump won? | ||
| Like, think about it. | ||
| That's why I turned on Hillary. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| If I didn't know, if I thought she legitimately got the thing, I probably wouldn't have hated her. | ||
| I definitely wouldn't have hated her. | ||
| I didn't hate her back then. | ||
| I never really liked her. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| What if that's the one thing the Democrats didn't predict? | ||
| That someone was gonna leak all of this to WikiLeaks. | ||
| WikiLeaks would publish it. | ||
| And then all of a sudden you just had this massive uproar that people couldn't ignore. | ||
| And this weird, creepy conspiracy stuff. | ||
| I'll tell you this, man. | ||
| They're cheating right now for sure. | ||
| Ian and I were arguing about this. | ||
| How do you define cheat? | ||
| And we're like literally looking at the definition of cheat. | ||
| It's deceptively or unfairly, you know, give yourself an advantage. | ||
| Would you agree that's definitely what they're doing? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| They're saying Democrats are going to vote by mail more than Republicans. | ||
| So they're definitely changing the rules. | ||
| I opened up Instagram, and it was like, you live in New Jersey. | ||
| You are going to get a ballot in the mail whether you asked for it or not. | ||
| And I'm like, oh, great. | ||
| Then you see this thing with James O'Keefe, where this dude's going around collecting ballots. | ||
| It's on video. | ||
| Imagine now. | ||
| So the thing here is, in that election, I guess, they did mail-in, right, for the primary? | ||
| So they sent out all these mail-in ballots, then a dude went around collecting them. | ||
| And then you have on video the other guy saying they were all blank. | ||
| He's like, I looked at them, they were blank. | ||
| And that's exactly what I and everybody else was saying was gonna happen. | ||
| The funny thing about it is, James O'Keefe knew the whole time. | ||
| He just had to get the confirmation and publish the story, now what are they claiming? | ||
| They're saying, James O'Keefe is making it up, it's edited. | ||
| My favorite thing is, the dude on camera, who is saying I'm getting paid and all this stuff, claims it's not his real voice, and it's dubbed over. | ||
| You know why that's funny? | ||
| Because he's holding the ballots in his hand. | ||
| So it's like, okay, then what were you saying as you walked around with stacks of ballots? | ||
| He was on Twitter. | ||
| He was like, thanks for all the new subs. | ||
| Looks like I'm famous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| And wasn't one of the, one of the people in the video that spoke to James like went on record and he's like a Somali community organizer. | ||
| There was like, I think it was a woman. | ||
| Was it a woman? | ||
| Or are you talking about somebody else? | ||
| I think it was a man in the video from last night. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There was some guy, um, he works in like the Somali community and he was like going on record. | ||
| Oh, right, right, right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yup. | |
| This is what's happening. | ||
| Ilhan Omar's people are doing this. | ||
| And it's like how you, so you're calling him a liar too? | ||
| Like. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| And this guy was posting on Snapchat, like, look at all the ballots I have, I'm getting paid for this. | ||
| So the defense from the left is, it's not illegal to do that. | ||
| He's helping people vote. | ||
| They just skipped the part where the guy said the ballots were blank, and they said, who fills them out? | ||
| Oh, Ilhan Omar's people. | ||
| Dude, the game's rigged, man. | ||
| I'm worried about what's going to happen if Trump loses after seeing things like that. | ||
| Because that one video, no one's going to believe the results. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| I mean, I wouldn't. | ||
| I'm not going to believe it. | ||
| If he loses, I'm going to be like, they cheated. | ||
| If he wins, I'm going to be like, they cheated. | ||
| They're cheating right now. | ||
| We know they are. | ||
| Win or lose, they're cheating. | ||
| So they're going to mail you a ballot? | ||
| Yeah, I didn't ask for it. | ||
| And then someone can walk by the mailbox and take it? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| So think about all the old people who get all these ballots and are probably just not paying attention, just sitting in their house. | ||
| Think about this. | ||
| What happens if you never get your ballot? | ||
| What if I never get it and I'm like, it's election day, I have no ballot. | ||
| Because someone stole it. | ||
| Then you have no number, what do you track? | ||
| You look up your name, maybe it's a key number? | ||
| And then if you go vote and then they say, no, you already voted. | ||
| Then are you in trouble for trying to vote twice? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is why universal mail-in voting is broken. | ||
| And I tell you, man, it's the funniest thing when we see story after story, Trump said without evidence that there was impropriety in mail-in voting. | ||
| saying straight up, we're straight dumping primary ballots in the dumpster because we | ||
| got them too late. | ||
| I'm exaggerating, but you have all these stories like Baltimore Sun saying 70,000 ballots were | ||
| held for too long. | ||
| Through no fault of their own, the voters will be disenfranchised. | ||
| Then these same organizations say, Trump said without evidence that there was impropriety | ||
| in mail-in voting. | ||
| It's like, you told me that you... | ||
| You know what I love about the news is that Trump will repeat something they say and they'll | ||
| call him a liar. | ||
| I'm just... | ||
| Dude. | ||
| It's all fake news, man. | ||
| Let me show you this. | ||
| I want to prove to you guys. | ||
| This is the best thing right here. | ||
| Check out this story from the New York Times. | ||
| Donald Trump's tax returns! | ||
| The Times obtained Donald Trump's tax information, extending over more than two decades, revealing struggling properties, vast write-offs, and an audit battle, and hundreds of millions in debt coming due. | ||
| Take a look at these first two sentences. | ||
| Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income tax the year he won the presidency. | ||
| In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750. | ||
| You know what's really funny about that? | ||
| They debunk themselves in their own story. | ||
| This is not true. | ||
| He did not... So, let's be fair. | ||
| You guys ever watch Rick and Morty? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Have you seen the one? | ||
| So there's an episode where they're on the spaceship in the simulation and the teacher asks Morty what's like, I think he said, what's nine times eight? | ||
| And Morty goes, it's at least 40. | ||
| And he goes, that's correct. | ||
| It is at least 40. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| So when they say Donald Trump paid 750 in federal income taxes, you know what that means? | ||
| He did. | ||
| Yeah, at least 750. | ||
| So it's like if something cost you 100 bucks and you spent $10, I could say you spent $10. | ||
| You spent more than $10, but you did give him $10, right? | ||
| The New York Times actually says in their own story, I gotta scroll down to try and figure out where it is, that Trump paid way more than that and let the government just keep it. | ||
| Yet they open their story by saying he only paid $750. | ||
| I am scrolling down. | ||
| This is a really long story. | ||
| Actually, can you just press Ctrl-F and then 4.2? | ||
| I'm anxiously awaiting these New York Times reporters having to take refuge in an embassy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
4.2. | |
| For accepting stolen material. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Julian Assange style. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| Each time he requested an extension to file his 1040, and each time he made the required payments to the IRS for income taxes he might owe, $1,000,000 for 2016 and $4,200,000 for 2017. | ||
| But virtually all of that liability was washed away when he eventually filed, and most of the payments were rolled forward to cover potential taxes in future years. | ||
| You know what that means? | ||
| It means he gave the government $5,200,000 even though he lost a ton of money and only owed $1,500,000. | ||
| So when they say he paid $750, that's just 100% factual and true. | ||
| What they should have said is he owed $750. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He only owed, but that's not sensational. | ||
| That wouldn't catch people's attention. | ||
| And now every headline is, New York Times report, Trump only paid $750. | ||
| But it's a lie. | ||
| He paid more than that. | ||
| It's in their own story that he paid $4.2 million. | ||
| That's horrific journalism. | ||
| It's not journalism. | ||
| It's propaganda. | ||
| And this story is the same story they wrote in 2016. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| I hope you guys are ready for the October surprises, because it's going to be fun. | ||
| Dude, there's debates tomorrow. | ||
| No, it isn't. | ||
| I don't believe it. | ||
| It's coming. | ||
| I don't believe it. | ||
| Joe will not miss it. | ||
| It's all he's got. | ||
| What's he going to do? | ||
| Stumble over his words? | ||
| You know what he's going to do? | ||
| At 9.52 tomorrow morning, he's going to say, I'm calling a lid. | ||
| I'm not making any appearances today. | ||
| And then he's just not going to appear. | ||
| He's not going to elaborate at all on the debate. | ||
| I just can't. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're going to be like, are you coming to the debate? | ||
| No response. | ||
| He's got an ego. | ||
| He thinks he can do it. | ||
| He's going to smile into the camera and go, come on, man. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| He's getting ready to go at Trump. | ||
| Dude, they're gonna rig it. | ||
| That's what I think. | ||
| He probably has had the debate questions for weeks. | ||
| They did it in 2016 and nobody's bringing it up now. | ||
| Good point. | ||
| But it doesn't matter. | ||
| Who's moderating? | ||
| Chris Wallace. | ||
| He's the first moderator. | ||
| You know what they don't understand? | ||
| When you see these stories about taxes, they still haven't figured out why people voted for Trump. | ||
| Because Donald Trump is a dude carrying a giant torch and just lighting the establishment on fire. | ||
| People don't care if he's covered in human feces and is swearing while he does it. | ||
| They just want him to bring the flames. | ||
| So I'm like, what was it in the 2016 election? | ||
| Trump's like, I am a smart businessman. | ||
| I paid no taxes. | ||
| And everyone cheered. | ||
| And they think the story's bad? | ||
| They're saying, one of the stories I read, they were like, I think it's in here. | ||
| They're saying many Republicans voted for Trump, assuming he was a savvy businessman. | ||
| Yeah, it's like... | ||
| Isn't he? | ||
| If he paid no taxes and he's a billionaire? | ||
| Yeah, and they're also like being like, look, he's broke, he's broke, how terrible, but | ||
| also being like, he's a billionaire and you guys are supporting this billionaire. | ||
| And I'm like, wait, which one are we supposed to be mad at? | ||
| Big and Jews! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They're like seeing what sticks, just throwing everything. | ||
| They're saying everything, and that's the problem. | ||
| There's no leadership. | ||
| It's all over the place. | ||
| So you've got Donald Trump is a billionaire who won't pay his taxes. | ||
| Then you've got Donald Trump is a failure who is losing so much money that he doesn't pay taxes. | ||
| Which one is it? | ||
| Both. | ||
| He's a billionaire, and he's running a deficit every year so he doesn't have to pay taxes by overspending what he's making, probably pumping it back into his company. | ||
| That's A, not B. You can choose A or B. On paper, he's losing money, so they call him poor, but he's not. | ||
| He actually owns a billion dollars of assets or whatever. | ||
| Here's the point. | ||
| If Trump is choosing to write down his assets to save money, that's the first option. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Second option is Trump is a failure and his businesses are collapsing. | ||
| Well, they're losing money. | ||
| They say both. | ||
| But that doesn't make him a failure. | ||
| No, that's not what they say though. | ||
| Like the Young Turks dude tweeted out, straight up Trump is a failure, his businesses are collapsing, he has all these bankruptcies. | ||
| Didn't you say he had like five bankruptcies out of his hundred companies or something? | ||
| Trump, Trump, I don't know honey, I think it was like five bankruptcies out of like 500 plus businesses. | ||
| That's incredible, that's a great number. | ||
| And the other thing too is dude, this is, This is so annoying. This is everything they did in in 2015 | ||
| and 16 like Trump water went out of business and Trump Stakes don't exist in Trump magazine go to Durell go to | ||
| Trump Durell. Guess what? | ||
| There'll be a Trump water bottle on the nightstand. You can order a Trump steak and Trump magazine is right there on | ||
| the coffee table It's not that they went out of business. It's that they're | ||
| for his properties, but they just lie It's it's just lies and so then when you see like project | ||
| Veritas and they say no James O'Keefe is lying I'm like, dude, I don't believe you. | ||
| It's kind of like if Trump was a movie that was really good, the Democrats are trying to make another movie that's | ||
| better, but they have worse actors and bad directing, and it's just worse. | ||
| And you can't tell people that that movie is better. | ||
| You can't like no amount of commercials is going to make that movie better because it's crappier. | ||
| So now they're trying to tell us and show us how it's better. | ||
| It's better. | ||
| But like every time you look at the movie, you know, it's horrible compared to that other movie. | ||
| That other movie is awesome compared to that. | ||
| People are entertained by Trump. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Superiorly. | ||
| He's hilarious. | ||
| He's an actor. | ||
| He's got a hit show. | ||
| Trump keeps demanding Joe Biden take a drug test. | ||
| I just love it. | ||
| It's hilarious. | ||
| Dude, I can understand when people complain about decorum and things like that, like the highest office. | ||
| But I'm sitting back like, you know what? | ||
| The crony establishment has been playing dirty politics for forever, as long as I've been alive. | ||
| I have no faith in these people to do the right thing. | ||
| Everybody screams, war is bad, and then they go, okay, vote for me and I'll end the war. | ||
| And then as soon as you elect him, they go, haha, and then press the nuke button. | ||
| And so I'm just like, I'm out. | ||
| When Trump comes in, and he's running around screaming, and he's like throwing flaming torches at the establishment, I'm just like, you want me to get mad? | ||
| Dude, you guys have been ripping us off forever. | ||
| As long as I've been alive, it's been a dirty game. | ||
| It's been all fake. | ||
| And now finally some dude comes in, and he's messing up your business, and you're coming to me and crying about it? | ||
| I don't care. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
| Don't forget Jimmy Carter. | ||
| Didn't take us in any wars in the media. | ||
| Trump should just do like a press conference where he's like, if I get reelected, I will fire 15 nukes at the Middle East and they're all going to cheer and be like, Donald Trump is a hero! | ||
| No, the nuke thing is over the top. | ||
| They cheered for him when he was talking, or when he did bomb Syria. | ||
| They were like, this is the greatest thing he's ever done. | ||
| He's finally a president now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I'm like, oh. | |
| Why do they want that, though? | ||
| That's so weird. | ||
| Because I think the military-industrial complex conversation is too simplistic. | ||
| Like, it's not just about making money. | ||
| Well, war is good for ratings. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And it drives those clicks. | ||
| But, you know, I wonder... You know what I think? | ||
| You know what's better for ratings than war? | ||
| What? | ||
| Trump. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Trump is the best. | ||
| They found a guy who is literally a TV personality and they were like, this is cash money, baby. | ||
| You see Tucker Carlson's ratings? | ||
| Almost 5 million. | ||
| It's like the biggest ratings in cable news history. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| These TV companies are supposed to be collapsing. | ||
| No. | ||
| Tucker Carlson is basically walking through the fog of fake news with a machete, clearing the way, and people are following behind him. | ||
| And then you get the mainstream and the progressives saying he's far-right, he's alt-right, all these other ridiculous, stupid things that are just ridiculously not true. | ||
| The craziest thing, though, is he's the one who has on, like, anti-war leftists. | ||
| I know. | ||
| You're never going to see people from, like, the Gray Zone or Tulsi Gabbard on, like, MSNBC or CNN, but Tucker will have them on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And he'll have a completely, like, respectful, intelligent conversation with them. | ||
| Nobody else does it. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| And people love it. | ||
| It's funny when he tries to have a conversation with these ultra-woke culty people who just don't speak. | ||
| It's like trying to talk to one of the Stepford Wives. | ||
| They're actually robots. | ||
| They were robots, right? | ||
| Is that what that movie was about? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've never seen it. | ||
| It's a great movie. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| It's a 50s-style neighborhood of perfect housewives, but they're all just replaced by robots because the husbands wanted subservient wives or something? | ||
| Yeah, basically. | ||
| I remember Tucker had on this woman and he asked her an honest question and then she just goes into robo mode and she's like, Tucker, you're far right! | ||
| And it's like, what? | ||
| You can't have conversations, man. | ||
| Like the infamous one with the Teen Vogue lady? | ||
| That's probably the one. | ||
| I think that's on your thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, geez. | |
| You know, you know, I understand that there are Trump supporters that are | ||
| zealots that are like diehard MAGA. | ||
| You can't tell them anything. | ||
| You know, they won't believe it. | ||
| What's like, CNN did this thing where they went to a Trump rally, started | ||
| talking to Trump supporters and Trump supporters started, you know, making | ||
| And then when the CNN reporter handed the phone to the guy to show them that this one video of Biden sleeping was fake, the guy went, I must have missed that one. | ||
| But, you know, I've seen a lot more other things. | ||
| You can't do that with Antifa. | ||
| You can't do that with progressives. | ||
| So what CNN showed me there, I was like, wow, that was actually really reasonable of the guy. | ||
| It's embarrassing that he believed fake news. | ||
| But he looked at it and went, I must have missed that one. | ||
| That's great! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That shows that he's thinking. | ||
| Like when he said, I'm going to beat Joe Biden. | ||
| He actually said, I'm going to be Joe Biden. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If you look at the full context of the video, he said, I'm going to be Joe Biden. | ||
| He was, he was like, so this is a viral clip where people said Joe Biden said he's going to beat Joe Biden, but he's somewhat, he gets asked something about his record. | ||
| They're like, what's your record going to be as president? | ||
| And he goes, look, people keep asking me what I'm going to do, but I'm Joe Biden and I'm going to be Joe Biden. | ||
| And I'm like, I get what he's saying. | ||
| But I guess some people heard the tea. | ||
| I guess it's because we don't enunciate our teas in the way we speak in colloquial English. | ||
| Neither of these guys are saints. | ||
| Neither of them are demons. | ||
| Biden's got good qualities. | ||
| Biden really creeps me out. | ||
| I don't think Biden has good qualities. | ||
| He's got some. | ||
| No way, dude. | ||
| He's not a demon possessed by Satan or anything. | ||
| He's just a terrible presidential candidate. | ||
| His face looks like a purge mask. | ||
| Dude, he got a bunch of work. | ||
| That's just mean. | ||
| I think he got a bunch of Botox or something in the last five years. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| And it's like on Kenny Valley. | ||
| I hate it. | ||
| And so did Hillary, man. | ||
| It's tripping me out. | ||
| Remember when she used to look over for her cheek lifts? | ||
| What's that? | ||
| They give me the heebie-jeebies. | ||
| Remember when that weird, like, fake Hillary picture came out? | ||
| Which one? | ||
| There was a picture with Hillary and Bill Clinton and people were like, that's not Hillary. | ||
| That's like, what is that? | ||
| It's like a body double or something. | ||
| Oh yeah, I vaguely remember. | ||
| And it really didn't look like her, and people were saying it's not. | ||
| And then I recall when they were saying that Kim Jong-un was dead, and then the photos emerged, and everyone started saying it's not really him, and the media called him a conspiracy theorist, and then it turned out it wasn't really him. | ||
| I had a question about that. | ||
| So remember when Donald Trump tweeted out a couple weeks ago, Kim Jong-un is alive and well, he's doing great, he's better than ever? | ||
| What was up with that? | ||
| Why did he tweet that out of nowhere? | ||
| I don't know, why not? | ||
| Because they think that Kim Jong-un has been... | ||
| No, I thought they confirmed that he was actually alive. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not necessarily a story that I am following all too much. | |
| But anyway, Joe Biden, I think, is not good. | ||
| Joe Biden, his whole career, what has he done? | ||
| It's been plastic, garbled, you know, whatever he's gotta say to get the keys to the castle. | ||
| I'll tell you this, man. | ||
| You have to be a special kind of insane to be like, well, this guy's been in office for 47 years and nothing's improved. | ||
| I think I'll try that again. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| I don't believe that. | ||
| a 17 out of 100 as a presidential candidate quality but if he was in your house he wouldn't | ||
| rob you he wouldn't beat you up that's not true no he would just sit there he probably he might be | ||
| a jerk but then he'd uh you know he'd eat and then he'd leave there is a story which judicial watch | ||
| confirmed. | ||
| confirmed that I had wrote about in 2017. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I knew some Secret Service guys. | ||
| They told me a story about how Biden would always like grope women and girlfriends | ||
| of Secret Service agents at the Christmas party to the point where they had to cancel the Christmas party | ||
| that they had. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| And one of the agents actually like wound up like ready to hit him. | ||
| And he ended up getting suspended because he was gonna hit the vice president. | ||
| So what Judicial Watch found is that they issued a request for the documents. | ||
| And then the confirmation they got was that those documents have since been deleted. | ||
| And they were like, so those documents existed. | ||
| Oh, that's how they confirmed it. | ||
| Yeah, but he strikes me as like, see, Trump, I think, can be kind of like snarky and, you know. | ||
| Almost? | ||
| of arrogant, almost, but he's not mean. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| And I don't think he's, but I don't think he's mean. | ||
| Like, I don't think he would ever be like mean to somebody. | ||
| Biden, like when he snaps at people, like he seems mean. | ||
| Did you see him call the military a bunch of stupid bastards? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That was so. | ||
| And that one where he was yelling at the guy saying like, he probably, oh, that's | ||
| why she's your ex or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Like, one of his voters. | ||
| Or look fat. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or the dude who was asking him questions and he goes, and then he's like, why, why, why, why, why? | ||
| And he grabs the guy. | ||
| Yeah, like, I don't think Trump's mean like that. | ||
| I think that Biden's mean. | ||
| Trump is mean if you're mean to Trump. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Trump will be mean if you're mean to him. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| If you're nice to Trump, Trump will be... He loves it. | ||
| He loves the positive attention. | ||
| I'm not the only one who's pointed this out. | ||
| The left doesn't want to accept it. | ||
| That if the Democrats had just played to Trump's ego, he'd have compromised on everything. | ||
| He'd have been like, okay, look at the gun control thing. | ||
| Was it like the bump stock ban? | ||
| They started saying we want to do this and he was like, oh, it's winning me favors. | ||
| I like this. | ||
| They're saying good things about me. | ||
| And then a bunch of conservatives were like, what's he doing? | ||
| The Democrats needed to realize Trump likes it when you're nice to him, and he'll be nice back. | ||
| Then they decided, you know what, let's just insult him in every possible way, so Trump is just like, screw you guys. | ||
| He cut his losses. | ||
| It got to a certain point where he realized they hate him so much, there's no point. | ||
| That's a really dumb thing to do. | ||
| And they have the House? | ||
| thing, then even if you think the other side's not going to give it, or it's hard to do, | ||
| you don't win by insulting and attacking them. | ||
| It's not going to, you're not going to get anything. | ||
| Then what happens is the American people get tired of it, they vote Republican, now Republicans | ||
| are going to get three Supreme Court justices. | ||
| And they have the House, they have the Senate, they have the President. | ||
| I don't like him. | ||
| Neither does Mitch McConnell, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let him go. | |
| I'm really interested because you know I don't you know money talks and if Lindsey | ||
| Graham really is down because after Ruth Bader Ginsburg died Democrats got you | ||
| know lit on fire I mean that figuratively like they got motivated then | ||
| maybe he'll lose and I wouldn't be surprised because I'm seeing a lot of | ||
| Trump supporters don't like him either I would love to see him I don't like him | ||
| yeah he doesn't do anything Mitch McConnell man let him go yeah I don't | ||
| like any term limits I don't like any of the establishment like | ||
| Whenever I think about who I possibly like, I just think about the eight Republicans and the three Democrats who agree with Trump on withdrawing from the Middle East. | ||
| I'm like, everybody else! | ||
| I don't know what you're doing. | ||
| But a couple of the Democrats are who voted for that. | ||
| I can respect that and give them credit for it. | ||
| Absolute respect for doing the right thing. | ||
| But some of these other Democrats have done really dumb things, too. | ||
| I mean, I get it. | ||
| The Republicans have as well. | ||
| You know, like, Matt Gaetz, who else was in the House who did this? | ||
| I can't remember. | ||
| I know it was Matt Gaetz, probably Thomas Massey. | ||
| I think he's in the House, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Who voted to stay. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Wasn't Kyrsten Sinema one of the Democrats? | ||
| Did this just break? | ||
| We have breaking news! | ||
| What? | ||
| Donald Trump receives third nomination for Nobel Peace Prize. | ||
| Alright! | ||
| What? | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Is this legit? | ||
| Sources from... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa! | |
| Check this out. | ||
| President Donald Trump has received his third nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. | ||
| This time from Australian law professors on the basis of the Trump Doctrine of Foreign Policy. | ||
| Law professor David Flint appeared on Britain's Sky News over the weekend saying the Trump Doctrine is something extraordinary. | ||
| Saying, what he has done with the Trump Doctrine is that he has decided he would no longer have America in endless wars. | ||
| Wars which achieve nothing but the killing of thousands of young Americans and enormous debts imposed on America. | ||
| And nothing solved in the countries in which it's carried on. | ||
| So he's reducing America's tendency to get involved in any and every war. | ||
| Flint continued saying he has firstly common sense and he is only guided by national interest and therefore an interest in the Western alliance. | ||
| Come on, he's gotta win. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Three? | |
| They won't do it. | ||
| to the Middle East peace with the Abraham Accord, which saw the United Arab Emirates | ||
| and Israel normalize relations, the first agreement between Israel and a major Arab | ||
| country since 1994. | ||
| Trump has two prior Nobel Prize nominations, from a member of the Norwegian parliament | ||
| for the historic Middle East peace deal, and from a member of the Swedish parliament for | ||
| helping to normalize relations between Serbia and Kosovo. | ||
| Come on, he's got to win. | ||
| Three? | ||
| They won't do it. | ||
| Well, who's in charge of voting? | ||
| It's Norway, right? | ||
| The Norwegian, I don't know, the Peace Prize Council or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who else? | |
| Yeah, isn't it like a bunch of previous winners who vote on it? | ||
| Oh really? | ||
| Can you look that up? | ||
| I will look that up, yeah. | ||
| Maybe! | ||
| And they'll never give it to Trump. | ||
| I mean, they gave it to Obama before he did anything and then went on to become the drone ranger. | ||
| The drone ranger? | ||
| I think it's just a partisan thing. | ||
| You know what nickname I really loved is Obammer? | ||
| Because people with a British accent, they say words that end in A, they say it with an er. | ||
| So they naturally just called him Obammer. | ||
| You know, and I'm like, that's his name. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| You're saying it properly. | ||
| And they're, you know, it's like, I hear no accent. | ||
| Oh, bomber, you know? | ||
| You know, they're right that us getting out of the Middle East is preserving the lives of Australians because we were like bringing British Australians into it. | ||
| So what is this? | ||
| Who votes? | ||
| It's talking about the people who select the prize winners. | ||
| Does it say who wins? | ||
| Laureates. | ||
| Nomination and selection. | ||
| No, but like who... So the nominations, let's see there. | ||
| 318 candidates for the Nobel Prize in 2020, of which 211 are individuals and 107 are organizations. | ||
| 318 is the fourth highest number of candidates ever. | ||
| The current record of 376 candidates was reached in 2016. | ||
| Neither the names of the nominators nor the nominees for the Nobel Prize may be divulged until 50 years have elapsed. | ||
| Oh, interesting. | ||
| So then people are announcing they're doing it and giving up their names? | ||
| That's strange. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| The Norwegian Nobel Committee is responsible for selecting the prize laureates. | ||
| Right, okay. | ||
| A nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize may be submitted by any persons who are qualified to nominate. | ||
| So qualified nominators according to statutes of the Nobel Foundation. | ||
| A nomination is considered valid if it is submitted by a person who falls in one of the following categories. | ||
| Members of National Assemblies and National Governments. | ||
| Members of the International Court of Justice at the Hague and the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague. | ||
| Members of l'Institut des Droits Internationaux. | ||
| Members of the International Board of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, University Professors, Professor Emeriti, and Associate Professors of History, Social Sciences, Law, Philosophy, Theology, Religion, University Rectors and University Directors, or their equivalents, Directors of Peace, Research Institutes, Foreign Policy, blah blah blah. | ||
| Persons who have been awarded. | ||
| Okay, so laureates can. | ||
| Members of the main board of directors, or its equivalent organizations, that have been awarded the prize. | ||
| Current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. | ||
| Former advisors to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. | ||
| That's kind of a really broad criteria for nominating. | ||
| So like what, some professor can just be like, I nominate this person, submit it. | ||
| We'll see if Trump wins. | ||
| Should he win? | ||
| I don't know who else he's up against. | ||
| I think he should. | ||
| Who else? | ||
| How many people can win? | ||
| Two people a year? | ||
| Is that it? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I have no idea either. | ||
| Selection. | ||
| There's different categories. | ||
| I don't know for each category. | ||
| In, I guess, let's see, they're awarded in December. | ||
| So it'll be really funny if Trump loses and then he wins the Nobel Peace Prize. | ||
| I don't see any competition. | ||
| Dude, they're gonna give it to some, like, you know, I don't know, like, bean farmer. | ||
| And they're gonna be like, you know, John Smith grew a bunch of beans and then donated them so he wins. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Anything, like, they'll give it to anybody. | ||
| They'll give it to Greta. | ||
| I don't know, she was nominated recently, right? | ||
| Julian's been nominated, I think, like, every year. | ||
| Yeah, they'll never give it to him either. | ||
| For, like, ten years or something. | ||
| I think they're so mad at that guy. | ||
| Because when you think, I really think, I think they're doing the same strategy as 2016 because they're probably convinced it would have worked except for the hate factor for Hillary Clinton. | ||
| Dude, they obviously threw Bernie under the bus again. | ||
| I mean, he was so far ahead in the polls until like a week before Biden all of a sudden surged and then all of a sudden Biden surged for some reason. | ||
| They have it out for Bernie and Bernie like bends over and takes it and it irritates me. | ||
| This is why he shouldn't be president. | ||
| He should run independent, yeah. | ||
| Unless he's gonna run independent and grow a sack, no, he's out. | ||
| You need, like, there's a reason why people like someone like Trump. | ||
| Because think about Donald Trump negotiating. | ||
| He's gonna be sitting at a table. | ||
| First of all, Trump's, what is he, like 6'3 or 6'4 or something? | ||
| He's like a tall guy. | ||
| He's overweight, so he's just like this big dude. | ||
| He's imposing. | ||
| Like, that's a fact. | ||
| His name, big gold letters everywhere. | ||
| You put him in a room full of these people and he's gonna be like, your trade deal's bad? | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| You give us a billion? | ||
| No. | ||
| That's what people want. | ||
| They're not gonna have that in this year's debate though, like, I remember watching the debate with Hillary and I was like, man, that's like a hulking dude, like, cause she was so tiny. | ||
| And Biden is pretty tall himself, though, isn't he? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| Yeah, they're gonna give Biden an exoskeleton, like an Iron Man suit, under his clothes so he can stand up, but in a resting position. | ||
| So you'll see him, you'll think he's standing when actually he's being suspended. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How's that guy gonna stand for two hours? | ||
| People are gonna notice like weird little things like pulling up from his sleeves because he's got fishing line lifting him up. | ||
| And he's gonna be floating there. | ||
| You know what would be really amazing? | ||
| If the backdrop for the debate is just like a black screen. | ||
| And then when Biden comes out, it's two dudes in full black zentai suits. | ||
| And they're like lifting his legs for him. | ||
| You ever see those those things they do in the theaters like the Japanese show? | ||
| And then, you know, they're like, you know, walking him out and waving his arms for him and you can see the guys doing it. | ||
| That'd be hilarious. | ||
| That'd be cool. | ||
| What time is the debate tomorrow? | ||
| I would say eight or nine. | ||
| That's exciting. | ||
| I wanted to do, I mean, because we've been asked it a lot, like a live commentary on the debate. | ||
| That'd be cool. | ||
| But we can't, because if we show the debate at all, they just, we get banned from sharing. | ||
| Let's do what Rogan does with Fight Companions. | ||
| So we'll put a timer on, so you can synchronize it with the show, and then we'll just talk about it. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Yeah, we could maybe do that, and just watch the debate, and then just like, it'll be like Mystery Science Theater 3000. | ||
| Yeah, we'll be like, no! | ||
| No, he didn't! | ||
| And then we'll just talk amongst ourselves, whatever. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's what they do on Tech Opinion. | ||
| You know, we can fact check in real time and, you know, pull up sources and stuff. | ||
| And I think, I think what you'll find is Trump's probably going to say a lot of things that are incorrect. | ||
| And Joe Biden is going to say a lot of things that are incorrect. | ||
| And the media is going to tell you that Joe Biden said nothing wrong and Trump said lies. | ||
| And, and Trump will do it on purpose, but Biden will do it on accident. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Like a lie versus being wrong. | ||
| They say Trump lies all the time. | ||
| And I'm like... | ||
| Not all the time. | ||
| That's a... He's wrong a lot. | ||
| He's wrong a lot. | ||
| You know, he's wrong about things. | ||
| But does that mean he's intentionally misleading you? | ||
| Dude, you read his mind? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Sometimes you know if someone's lying or not. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| So, Trump lies. | ||
| They all lie. | ||
| Who doesn't lie? | ||
| Joe Biden kicked off his campaign with a lie. | ||
| Oh yeah, the whole thing is a lie. | ||
| Bernie Sanders doesn't lie. | ||
| But that's why he's not running for president. | ||
| I don't believe that. | ||
| You think he's a liar? | ||
| I used to think he was honest. | ||
| Now I think he's a liar. | ||
| I think he's a pushover. | ||
| Bernie lost. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But he wouldn't lie. | ||
| That's why he got pushed over. | ||
| Dude, what news outlet was it where they were like, here's the exact moment Bernie stopped saying millionaires and billionaires and started saying billionaires? | ||
| And they're like, it coincides with when his book cracked a million dollars. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| It's like, dude, I don't trust that guy. | ||
| He'd been regurgitating that rhetoric for like 40 years. | ||
| You know, 30 years ago, a millionaire was a big deal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The millionaires! | |
| The billionaires! | ||
| The Democrats had a good thing with Tulsi. | ||
| Yeah, they did. | ||
| Tulsi tried so hard to like, she's holding on to the right and the left and being pulled apart. | ||
| It's like, it's like that scene in Spider-Man, you know, where the train is going and Spider-Man's got the, you know, the webs and he's trying like to stop the train. | ||
| Tulsi was doing that, but there's nothing she could do because the right was more than willing to be like, sure thing, Tulsi, come on and talk to us. | ||
| And the left was like, burn the witch! | ||
| She's a Trump supporter! | ||
| Well, that's because she came out against Hillary in 2016, and she was like, after the WikiLeaks stuff. | ||
| And then the day Julian was arrested, she went on MSNBC and was like, free him now. | ||
| So she's always taken like a controversial stance, and she doesn't really toe the establishment line. | ||
| They just couldn't handle it. | ||
| She's where Democrats used to be. | ||
| And she's like, I'm gonna stay here, and the party's just jumped off the edge. | ||
| Yeah, she would have been great though. | ||
| What's she doing now? | ||
| Because she's not running again. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'd love to see her as like Secretary of State or something. | ||
| Well, I remember when the American conservative wrote that Donald Trump should fire John Bolton and hire Tulsi Gabbard instead. | ||
| And I'm like, I love that conservatives are saying that because like all of the things they disagree with Tulsi on, they found this point where like, we agree Tulsi should be doing this job. | ||
| Well, she's perfect on foreign policy, so why not use her for foreign policy? | ||
| Trump should! | ||
| I feel like... I don't understand why... Maybe I'm just wrong. | ||
| Maybe I'm naive. | ||
| Maybe Trump knows something I don't. | ||
| I feel like there's so many things that Trump could do that would just, like, get him a landslide victory he doesn't do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like weed. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| There's this graph, or whatever you want to call it, data from NBC News, where you can slide voter demographics left and right. | ||
| And they were like, based on demographic changes right now, if nothing changes from 2016, Joe Biden wins. | ||
| But if Trump wins just 3% more of the black vote, he wins. | ||
| Just 3%. The crazy thing was, like, there's a certain point at which you could flip | ||
| Illinois if Trump actually was able to get the black vote. So Trump just launched that, I don't know | ||
| if you, what was it called? The platinum plan for the black community? | ||
| 500 billion dollars the Klan and Antifa are going to be labeled domestic terrorists and I don't know that's going to be enough. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I wouldn't know. | ||
| I mean, I don't know if you guys have any opinions on whether it's going to you know, change the game or help him out. | ||
| I think it was a coward move. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I think that branding Antifa and the Klan, who's like, where is the Klan, you know? | ||
| Without branding Black Lives Matter, a terrorist organization, I think that it was a coward way out. | ||
| I think it was very clearly political. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because while Donald Trump did, he's been not too kind to Black Lives Matter. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What did he say? | ||
| He's like, they're a Marxist organization, and if I'm wrong, I'll lose an election. | ||
| I was like, whoa! | ||
| That's the kind of attitude people like. | ||
| But people keep blaming like, oh, it's just Antifa. | ||
| It's just Antifa and it's not. | ||
| It's Antifa and it's Black Lives Matter. | ||
| And if people are too scared to say that, then it's like, all right. | ||
| What I've always said is, I don't think it's... It is true it's Antifa and Black Lives Matter, but I would just say it's Black Lives Matter. | ||
| Because the Antifa guys are flying the Black Lives Matter flag, and they're recruiting people not under the name Antifa. | ||
| You're not gonna go to a college and be like, who wants to abolish capitalism and get massive numbers? | ||
| You'll get some people, you know, there's a lot of them. | ||
| But if you go there and say, Black Lives Matter, they're gonna be like, I'm in. | ||
| Then you could be like, here's your club, here's your pitchfork, here's your mask and your shield, go throw these bombs. | ||
| And people are gonna be like, I know a lot of... | ||
| Well, I know people that would identify with Black Lives Matter that aren't terrorists, though. | ||
| They're, like, normal people that are confused. | ||
| And will they go out and protest? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| And when these people do, do they run and stop the extremists wearing all black? | ||
| No, they would run away from that stuff. | ||
| And so you get a large mass of people who provide cover to extremists for four months straight. | ||
| But you have people that run from it, that don't want anything to do with it, and those people shouldn't be branded terrorists just because they identify with them. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| This has been going on for like 150 days. | ||
| If you're still like, yeah, Black Lives Matter, after seeing all these cities burn, all these businesses destroyed, then you're supporting it. | ||
| It's like being like, well, you know, I don't agree with ISIS bombing the buildings, but like, they're just doing things because they believe in it. | ||
| Or it's like waving their flag and then when someone's like, why are you waving that? | ||
| You'd be like, oh because it's this cool, it's this new thing they're doing. | ||
| And then when you're like, don't you know they do these things? | ||
| And they go, oh I didn't know that. | ||
| What about the people that put BLM on their Twitter profile? | ||
| They're trying to protect themselves. | ||
| I, I think, yeah, I think it's a combination of that. | ||
| A lot of people are like, please leave me alone. | ||
| I'll say whatever you want me to say. | ||
| And there are a lot of people, dude, if you, if somebody walked around with a sickle and hammer, would you assume that they're ignorant or that they support communism? | ||
| At this stage? | ||
| Ignorant. | ||
| You think people would be ignorant? | ||
| Yeah, I think people are so uneducated that they think communism is cool. | ||
| So, is it possible, then, that the people who are supporting Black Lives Matter know about the stories, but think it's not true? | ||
| Oh, it's possible. | ||
| The reason I'm saying, okay, I'm on Twitter, I'm on, like, Tinder, I do these dating apps, and, like, I'll be swiping, and I'll see girls that are, like, rainbow flag BLM. | ||
| And I know they're not terrorists. | ||
| They're just, like, I want to do the right thing. | ||
| You know, they're that... It reminds me of that photo of everyone doing the Roman salute to Hitler, except for the one guy who's crossing his arms all angry. | ||
| I'm not interested, man. | ||
| If you want to be a blind zealot without reading or doing any research, then you need to know. | ||
| They're not terrorists, they're blind zealots. | ||
| I would have agreed with this the first month of riots. | ||
| At this point, if you're still supporting it, you're complicit, and I have no problem with saying that they support terrorists. | ||
| Honestly. | ||
| I think that people are having a hard time drawing a distinction between the fact that black lives actually matter and the organization Black Lives Matter. | ||
| So when Donald Trump is trying to appeal to black people and he's saying, I'm intentionally not designating Black Lives Matter a terrorist group, but I am designating Antifa a terrorist group. | ||
| Maybe that's obviously a political ploy to say, I'm not going to estrange these people. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| And the girls that I think on Tinder, they're not part of the movement. | ||
| They're just saying that Black Lives Matter. | ||
| They're making that statement. | ||
| And listen, I hate to play into, what is it, Godwin's Law? | ||
| This is exactly how... Not to accuse them of being Nazis. | ||
| What I'm saying is, people often ask, how was it that all these people just went along with Hitler? | ||
| It's just because they didn't know or care. | ||
| Because they didn't read the news. | ||
| And they were starving. | ||
| Well, the economy was in the gutter. | ||
| And then here comes along this guy who's like, I'm going to fix everything for you. | ||
| He starts fixing it. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| They're just like, well, the economy is better. | ||
| And it's funny because that's what the left says right now about Trump. | ||
| But that's not Trump supporters going around destroying the black community. | ||
| Like, you literally have white Antifa running through Atlanta burning down businesses. | ||
| And when I tell these activists, I'm like, do you think it's wrong that a bunch of white suburbanites from, like, upper-class families are damaging and destroying black businesses and migrant businesses? | ||
| Do you think it's a bad thing? | ||
| And they're like, well, you need to understand the pain they feel. | ||
| And why? | ||
| I'm like, no, no, I don't. | ||
| No. | ||
| If you want to go and destroy the life of anybody, I'm not going to. | ||
| Look, I can understand. | ||
| You know, I'm not going to empathize. | ||
| I'm not going to sympathize. | ||
| I'm going to be like, arrest that person. | ||
| But if you could have understood Hitler and got through to him and talked to him before he went crazy, you could have averted that war. | ||
| A lot of people understand him. | ||
| He's nuts. | ||
| Well, he was nuts. | ||
| At the time, if someone could have gotten through to him and shown him love before he went crazy, he might not have gone crazy. | ||
| That's too hippy-dippy for me, man. | ||
| It's both. | ||
| It's real. | ||
| If you have no empathy, people won't change. | ||
| It's not about empathy. | ||
| It's like, there's a line between a group of psychopathic zealots who won't talk to you, who are fanatically screaming because they're paranoid and delusional, and they're going and burning down people's buildings, and then you have people defending them. | ||
| My point is, they are not psychopathic zealots. | ||
| People can behave like a psychopathic zealot, and then they can behave normally, but it's not that they are one or the other, they can just change their behavior. | ||
| Here's the problem with your analogy. | ||
| So we're talking about people who are literally doing a thing. | ||
| They're doing things that are destroying. | ||
| So imagine if, based on what you're saying, after Kristallnacht, people were like, well, if only after that people went and talked to Hitler and gave him love, he would have stopped. | ||
| It's like you literally have people going around destroying the Jewish community. | ||
| They should be punished. | ||
| If someone burns a building, they should be punished for that. | ||
| But that doesn't mean that you should have no empathy. | ||
| Why would I empathize with someone who's like, I hate this group of people, I want to destroy their lives. | ||
| So they see that there's a reason to change, that there's actually hope. | ||
| I don't see how that's gonna be their reason to change. | ||
| I don't understand what you're trying to say. | ||
| If no one loves them and they have no reason to change, they won't. | ||
| No, I think if somebody does something good, you praise them for it and show them a path. | ||
| If someone does something bad, you don't be like, I'm gonna let you keep doing this. | ||
| No, you punish them for it and then you learn to understand why they did it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, sure. | |
| So when did I say that wouldn't happen? | ||
| I'm saying put them in jail. | ||
| The understanding of why they did it comes with the empathy. | ||
| And so why do you think these people are going around destroying the black community and migrant neighborhoods? | ||
| Because they're poor. | ||
| Because they're... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| The white people who are upper class... Because COVID shut their jobs down. | ||
| They can't get a job and they can't get an apartment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| The overwhelmingly upper class progressive six-figure college degree kids who make up the progressive left in this country who are going around burning things down. | ||
| Because the Bank for International Settlements has printed 90 trillion dollars in fiat currency and inflated... What does that have to do with rich people? | ||
| What does that have to do with rich people who are well off? | ||
| Because they're angry at the capital system. | ||
| But the rich... Inflating... | ||
| They're still angry at the system. | ||
| It's a Ponzi scheme. | ||
| They've been inflating the dollar for like 90 years, dude. | ||
| What you're saying has nothing to do with people who have everything. | ||
| I mean, if you want to see why people are disillusioned with the system, it's because the banking establishment is creating fiat currencies since the 70s, dude. | ||
| There's no upper class woke progressive going, oh, gosh darn it, these banks are deflating. | ||
| I'm one of them. | ||
| I'm angry, but I've looked for a different path. | ||
| And that's not the woke left who are burning down black communities. | ||
| Yeah, but I very easily could have been that That's you! | ||
| I'm talking about the woke left that are the... Okay, the 8% of this country that are progressive, that have college degrees, that tend to make more than $100,000 a year, are not oppressed, are not doing poorly, they're not poor... Dude, they saw Zeitgeist, man. | ||
| They know that the Federal Reserve is printing... No! | ||
| No, they didn't! | ||
| Dude, you're talking about the wrong people! | ||
| I disagree there. | ||
| Neither of us know. | ||
| No, I do know because I'm specifically citing the More in Common study that found 8% of this country who identify as progressives, who make more than six figures, and make up the woke left. | ||
| That's the specific data I'm referring to. | ||
| These are the people who make up the violent groups that are organizing this destruction and going down burning buildings down. | ||
| These are not poor people organizing this. | ||
| I'm saying you don't know those people. | ||
| You know their demographic. | ||
| Neither of us know those people. | ||
| And we have a general idea of what they think. | ||
| White people are oppressors. | ||
| Whiteness is evil. | ||
| I think they saw zeitgeist. | ||
| That's not zeitgeist. | ||
| It's a general idea. | ||
| People that are in their 30s right now, 25, they saw zeitgeist. | ||
| They saw loose change. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Those people saw... Dude, that was 15 years ago! | |
| I know. | ||
| Their parents saw it and are disillusioned. | ||
| Raising these kids like, what am I gonna do? | ||
| The system's stacked against us. | ||
| A 10-year-old did not watch that. | ||
| Those documentaries, dude. | ||
| A 10-year-old did not watch that. | ||
| They're watching woke garbage propaganda, and they come from overwhelmingly white suburbs, where they think white people are oppressors and whiteness is evil, so they go to minority neighborhoods and start fires and burn them down. | ||
| I think we're doing a lot of assuming right now. | ||
| No, you are! | ||
| So are you! | ||
| No, I'm not! | ||
| I just literally cited the more in common data, where 8% have these characteristics. | ||
| There is a tendency among these people to believe these specific things. | ||
| You're referencing anecdotal data about how you, 15 years ago, watched a Zeitgeist. | ||
| I'm telling you why they're crazy! | ||
| They're crazy because their parents don't care, because their parents are disillusioned. | ||
| Dude, if you think the banking establishment printing fiat is not the problem, or a huge problem, then you're missing it. | ||
| You think these people who are woke are like, gosh darn them. | ||
| They just printed three trillion dollars, dude! | ||
| And they don't care, they're asking for more money! | ||
| Why aren't they burning down the Federal Reserve then? | ||
| And why are they asking them to print more money? | ||
| Well, they're going after federal buildings. | ||
| So why are they saying, why are they saying print more? | ||
| If they care so much. | ||
| Good point. | ||
| Occupy Wall Street wanted to burn down the Federal Reserve. | ||
| Ron Paul wanted to take it out. | ||
| Ten years ago. | ||
| Yeah, and those are the same people like you said in the past. | ||
| No, they're not. | ||
| I said the Occupy people are supporting Trump right now, and that when I went to the Deplorable, your Deplorable, there were Occupy people there wearing MAGA hats saying when they were fighting against the establishment, Trump was their guy. | ||
| Bernie was at first, then Trump. | ||
| 25-year-olds did not know anything about Occupy Wall Street. | ||
| And right now, they're demanding the government print more money. | ||
| And they're saying, why don't we just get universal basic income? | ||
| Deficit spending. | ||
| AOC has talked about deficit spending, where the government just keeps printing more and more money to cover the cost of healthcare. | ||
| So mass inflation wipes out everyone's savings and destroys the working class. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| And they know that that's going to happen anyway. | ||
| She's calling for it. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And they're psychotic. | ||
| No, dude. | ||
| Because they know it's going to destroy the economy. | ||
| They're still calling for it. | ||
| Ian, may I have a word? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, please. | |
| That's not true. | ||
| what you may not be understanding is that the people who are rioting in the streets | ||
| are communists who believe that the government should have more control. They are not technically | ||
| anarchists, which is something that bothers Tim, because anarchists want no government. | ||
| They want absolutely no control and no structure. The people who are rioting and burning things down | ||
| — that's wrong — you're welcome to correct me just a second. Let me finish my thought. | ||
| But people who are rioting and burning things down actually are communists, people like | ||
| Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who think that all you have to do is wish currency into being. | ||
| So I would disagree with your basic tenet that these people just watch Zeitgeist and don't like the Federal Reserve because they think that they can solve these problems just by throwing more money. | ||
| They don't even know what the Federal Reserve is. | ||
| Well, they should. | ||
| The reason why they're tending towards communism is because they've been disillusioned with capitalism. | ||
| It's the same reason why the Russians went towards communism. | ||
| That's not true, man. | ||
| They don't even know what capitalism is. | ||
| They know that it's inflating and they can't get an apartment in San Francisco because it's $3,200 a month now. | ||
| That's not capitalism. | ||
| Central banking systems are not capitalism. | ||
| Yeah, of course they are. | ||
| So when they're complaining about capitalism, they have no idea what they're talking about. | ||
| They're mad about nebulous and vague oppression systems of whiteness. | ||
| Especially inflation. | ||
| They're mad about inflation. | ||
| You know what they're really mad about? | ||
| They're mad that they have nothing to do with their lives. | ||
| Humanity won. | ||
| We have an abundance of food, we're super wealthy, we're all fat, and so they have nothing to do, they have no purpose, so they found one. | ||
| Defeat the oppressors, that's my mission. | ||
| Now they're complaining about a system they benefit from. | ||
| And the funny thing is, when people criticize them for using iPhones, they go, well, what's that comic where they're like, I want to improve society, and then the guy's like making fun of them or something? | ||
| They seem to think there's no criticism of them for using computers made by slave labor in Southeast Asia. | ||
| They're allowed to do that. | ||
| They have no purpose. | ||
| They have no mission. | ||
| They have no meaning in their lives. | ||
| So they created one, and they latched on to whatever's in front of them. | ||
| Now, you have a lot of people who just see big brands saying it, and they go along with that. | ||
| But these people don't know what the Federal Reserve is. | ||
| If you ask them, they'd say, what's that? | ||
| You would say, do you know what the Federal Reserve is? | ||
| Oh. | ||
| That's what they would say. | ||
| I guarantee you, you may find one person Who knows what you're talking about? | ||
| It's a lot of conjecture. | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| Dude, I've been covering this for a decade. | ||
| The radical left has a long history, too, of adopting positions that are already commonly accepted by society. | ||
| Like, oh, we're anti-racist. | ||
| It's like, okay, yeah, so is everybody else. | ||
| But then they have to paint the Republicans as like this fictional enemy like everybody's | ||
| secretly Hitler because they need a common cause because they need power | ||
| and you get power by inflicting fear and so when they're going after these | ||
| things that are already commonly accepted by society like everybody's | ||
| like yeah Hitler is not not ideal. So they call everyone Nazi? Yeah but | ||
| they call everybody Nazis and they're pretending that this already isn't the public like... So what do you | ||
| what do you do? | ||
| Position. What do you do when you have hundreds of thousands of people | ||
| who are indoctrinated, zealous and I'm referring you know you know the | ||
| picture of the woman whose eyes are bugging out and she's like | ||
| Like that kind of person. | ||
| Or there's that really funny video where the white woman's screaming at the black cop, and she's holding up a sign on the back that says Fragile on it, because it was just like a box, and on the front it says Black Lives Matter or whatever. | ||
| And then some guy's like, don't, excuse me ma'am, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to be screaming at this black woman this way? | ||
| I'm the only one who can stop the racism and she's part of the system. | ||
| What do you do when those people are running around screaming their zealous cause, have plugged their ears, don't know, don't care, just want you to suffer because you are the other? | ||
| I appeal to their entertainment bug. | ||
| So like write music and acting and stuff like that. | ||
| But they're banning people who do that. | ||
| Well, I mean, musicians aren't really What do you mean? | ||
| Lady Antebellum had to change their name, and then they stole the name from an actual black blues singer. | ||
| There's always exceptions, but I think music is probably the best way to get through to those people. | ||
| So you think, like, writing a song, telling them their ideology is bad, they would go along with it? | ||
| No, writing a song about love and how it's good. | ||
| But they say those exact same things, dude. | ||
| It's like, I defer to Daryl Davis, when he tried to talk to them, and they called him a Nazi. | ||
| Here's a guy who said he could talk to, you know, Klansmen, and they'd listen. | ||
| And when he went to the Antifa guys, they screamed at him and called him a Nazi. | ||
| One time. | ||
| Yeah, the one time he tried. | ||
| It happened once. | ||
| And it was a group of people staying outside, and a black man walks up and says, hey, and they're like, get out of here, you white supremacist! | ||
| And he was like, what? | ||
| But the way he got through to those white supremacists was through his jazz music. | ||
| Well, it was through talking to them. | ||
| He went to their rallies. | ||
| And they'd come to his shows and they'd see him play and they'd be like, I've never seen a black guy play music like that. | ||
| That's how he got through to the first guys. | ||
| What he said was that it was when they became friends with him and just talked to him, they realized the stereotypes they heard weren't true. | ||
| So what do you do when you have a group of people who are trained specifically by the organizers to start chanting the moment you try talking? | ||
| You walk up to them, they'll start mindlessly chanting, Black Lives Matter, or Mike check, Mike check, so that no one can speak. | ||
| They just shut it down. | ||
| I remember when I was in, where was this, it was in California, it was outside of LA, and there was a Trump rally and then like an Antifa rally. | ||
| I walked across the street to the Antifa rally, And I was like, hey, how's it going, you guys? | ||
| Anybody want to talk to me? | ||
| And then all of a sudden, the organizer ran up and started chanting. | ||
| And they all started chanting, just like chanting to each other. | ||
| And I'm like, I can wait. | ||
| And they kept going. | ||
| And then she went, mic check. | ||
| They all yell, mic check, back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And she goes, do not talk, do not talk to anyone, to anyone. | |
| They are tricking you. | ||
| They are tricking you. | ||
| They are trying to make you fascists. | ||
| And I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna walk away. | ||
| I walk over to Trump guys. | ||
| I'm like, anybody want to talk on camera? | ||
| I'm like, I'll do it. | ||
| I'm like, okay. | ||
| The left did that to me real bad at the DNC. | ||
| And then again, on Inauguration Day, they like surrounded me and started chanting FU Sandra Fairbank. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Take personalized. | ||
| Yeah, I was like... | ||
| It's a cult and it's growing and the Democrats support it So that's why I'm like Trump banning critical race theory and then expanding his man. | ||
| I'm like good these dude. | ||
| It's funny, you know Religion is, it's like faith plus ideology. | ||
| And so we say we want a separation of church and state. | ||
| And most people are willing to accept that. | ||
| Even many religious people will accept that. | ||
| But what about the straight up ideology and the non-theistic, you know, religious practices of the woke? | ||
| I've been thinking about this a lot. | ||
| I think that there's been like a really steady decline in religion like in general in the U.S. | ||
| and I think that people are replacing it because they need something to believe in and to be part of and they've been replacing it with politics instead of replacing it with things like family or relationships and I think that it's kind of a dangerous What happens to all these people because they're not having kids? | ||
| They're all on birth control. | ||
| They're all pro-abortion. | ||
| I was reading something that was really interesting. | ||
| There's two stories. | ||
| One of them said that in the late 90s, early 2000s, conservative families were having an average 2.01 kids per family, and liberals were having 1.73 or something like that. | ||
| And then I think about the Pew research today that says Generation Z is slightly more conservative than millennials, but very similar. | ||
| And I don't think it's because, you know, Gen Z is just becoming conservative. | ||
| It's because there's more of them. | ||
| Because, you know, 20 years ago, liberals weren't having as many kids as conservatives. | ||
| Then I read another study that said mathematically liberals and like like a colloquial liberalism as we call it today will cease to exist because they're substantially more likely to abort their own offspring and to encourage others of their tribe to do so. | ||
| And to accelerate the rate at which they do. | ||
| So they looked... I read this a while ago, but it was looking at, like, the rate of acceptance of abortion and the limitations were rapidly and exponentially being reduced on the left. | ||
| So, like, it started with abortion should be safe, legal, and rare. | ||
| Then it became, well, women should have it if they choose, but only under certain circumstances. | ||
| Now it's very rapidly become whatever the woman decides with her doctor is her business and no one else's at any point during pregnancy. | ||
| And they celebrate it. | ||
| Samantha Bee and all that. | ||
| Morbid. | ||
| Disgusting. | ||
| Samantha Bee and all that. | ||
| And Michelle Wolfer's name, right? | ||
| Morbid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Conservatives have maintained pro-life, no abortion, except in safe, legal, and rare, | ||
| for the most part. | ||
| So I was reading and they said the basic mathematic equation then is religious conservative | ||
| families who have more kids on average and do not encourage abortion and do not get abortions | ||
| are more likely to increase their population in numbers, whereas liberals are more likely | ||
| to either not have kids or actually abort their own kids or even encourage people they | ||
| know to get abortions. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| In which case... | ||
| In 20 or 30 years, you're gonna have way more conservatives. | ||
| And maybe that's why there's been this, like, the Gen Z shift, as I mentioned. | ||
| Again, they're still, they're fairly progressive, but they're slightly more conservative on some issues. | ||
| I wonder if this is why now we're seeing this, like, domination of Republicans in politics. | ||
| Apparently, I was reading that, like, Democrats dominated the House for, like, decades, until, like, 2000 or something like that, or whatever, I don't know, 94 maybe. | ||
| I wonder if now, as we move forward, it's going to start shifting more and more towards moderate right-wing. | ||
| Because the left, not having kids, aborting their kids. | ||
| I'm not ascribing judgment on their morals. | ||
| I'm saying quite literally it's a fact they do this. | ||
| Some suggest that because cultural institutions are dominated by leftist ideology, that the children of conservatives will start adopting these views. | ||
| And you see this with, like, the TikTok kids claiming, like, my Trump-supporting parents are so dumb, I'm moving out. | ||
| And so there's that, you know? | ||
| But if they have five kids, how many of them become leftists and don't have families versus how many do? | ||
| And then you end up with religious, you know, religion dominating the planet because they reproduce. | ||
| I'm afraid that this psychotic, you know, Antifa thing is like a new religion. | ||
| It's kind of like what you were saying, this political religion that people... So I don't know if it's Christianity is the answer. | ||
| I'm not a fan of like organized Christianity just because I don't like the money. | ||
| Like paying money to worship God doesn't make any sense to me. | ||
| But maybe there'll be like a spiritual revolution that can bind the left and the right and the conservative and liberals to see like a unity, like Nassim Harriman really has finished Einstein's field equation. | ||
| He shows there's a unified field theory. | ||
| It's all one type of matter, you know, electromagnetism more or less. | ||
| I wonder if what separates, and this is just my personal opinion, I know it's not academic, what separates a religion from a cult is whether or not you protect and create life versus whether or not you destroy and end life. | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| We're talking about reversing entropy. | ||
| I mean, that's my, I think, because you said the natural tendency of life is entropy, you know? | ||
| No, the natural tendency of life is... Extropy? | ||
| It's just to fall apart. | ||
| Things fall apart. | ||
| Entropy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But life is organizing complex systems into further and more complex systems. | ||
| To prevent, to make entropy happen slower. | ||
| But it creates more entropy as it goes. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| So it's an interesting phenomenon. | ||
| But if you look at Antifa and Black Lives Matter, what do they do? | ||
| They destroy and they end life. | ||
| And you look at conservatism, and I'm not saying it's perfect, but I'm comparing it to having kids specifically, because I know religion started war and killed a lot of people. | ||
| But you have these, like, you know, Amy Coney Barrett, big family, adopted a couple kids, had a bunch of kids of her own, and she's raising them with these values that is protecting and encouraging life. | ||
| It may, you know, as some of the left say, restrict some of their, you know, choices and individuality or whatever if we have collective law and stuff like pro-life versus pro-choice, but the ultimate point is not about individual freedom, it's about whether or not you protect and create versus destroy and kill. | ||
| I'm interested in your, what was your history, like your religious background? | ||
| Um, well, I was baptized Catholic, but raised pretty, um, non-religious. | ||
| So I've been, I mean, once I moved to DC, I started going to church a little more beautiful churches there, but I'm not, um, I was not raised overly religious. | ||
| Like Lydia, I guess you're a good example. | ||
| You were raised intensely religious, but you've turned out very like logical kind of middle of the road. | ||
| Yeah, so I was raised really conservative Christian, and I kind of came away with the strong aspects of that and some kind of balance. | ||
| Slightly, I like to think, more moderate. | ||
| I appreciate everything my family did for me, but I like to think that I'm a little more moderate. | ||
| I'm not a bigot, obviously. | ||
| They're not either. | ||
| I'm not a zealot. | ||
| I'm not like a, I don't know, a hardline Christian. | ||
| And you had the internet. | ||
| Like, you were able to see the logic in the world, but you were raised with the morality. | ||
| I didn't use the internet to find logic at all. | ||
| I was always kind of that way. | ||
| I was always questioning and asking, finding out the truth for myself. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, 30 years ago would have been tough to be raised religious because you didn't have any outside way to learn anything other than what you were told by your parents. | ||
| And now, you know, you can just jump on the internet and, and like fact check all the crazy stuff that they say, but take the good stuff that they say, because you know, Christianity is really has a lot of good tenets. | ||
| I just wonder if we've lost something as a society with people moving away from religion and moving towards finding communities online instead of communities in their local neighborhoods at church or mosques or whatever their faith is. | ||
| I would say absolutely yes. | ||
| Because local communities were built upon the collective need to survive. | ||
| That was a society. | ||
| Humans are social beings because we survive together. | ||
| Now people go online and the most ridiculous fringe community has A lot of members. | ||
| And so, like, if you were in your neighborhood, and you were part of, like, I don't know, like, the Yu-Gi-Oh fan club, and there was no one who played, you'd eventually be like, I can't do this. | ||
| You know, like, when I was little, I played drums, and I had no one to play music with, nobody cared, so I eventually stopped, and then I met some people who were like, we don't need a drummer, we need a guitar player, and so I changed that thing about me to fit, you know, what was needed by that group at the time, not playing drums. | ||
| Now you have people who go online and they find a group of crazy, you know, fringe beliefs, and it encourages and emboldens. | ||
| And then they adopt beliefs not based on collective survival, but based on just the fact that the organization exists. | ||
| I was listening to something interesting about this, and then we can go to Super Chats because I know we're getting late, but I was listening to somebody talking about how there's a community online that likes to watch people feed people food and gain weight and become obese. | ||
| And he was like, all you have to do now is go online. | ||
| I know it's really weird because Santa's making a really weirded out face at me. | ||
| It's super weird, but you can go online and find people who like exactly the strange, weird Messed up, dare I say, judgely, things that you like and that's all you have and that becomes your echo chamber and you don't have to coincide with anyone else. | ||
| You don't have to band together for survival because you got it all made, obviously, since your interest is like obesity. | ||
| That's really weird. | ||
| But you just go and you find people who like what you like and you don't ever have to talk to anybody else. | ||
| I think that's hugely problematic. | ||
| Being in this house with you guys has been incredible for the last eight months or whatever, because we're so different. | ||
| We all have a similar... We want to be honest and learn, but we're very different. | ||
| So being surrounded by that non-echo chamber is very helpful to stay sane. | ||
| You and I argue a lot off-camera. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| We just had this argument right now. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| I'm glad we had these discussions. | ||
| Different perspectives, and then we challenge each other. | ||
| You don't get that when you join a hive, and everyone agrees with the same thing. | ||
| And that's the crazy thing about what's happening right now with whatever the right is, is that I can have an argument about pro-choice versus pro-life with someone like Seamus of Freedom Tunes, who's very pro-life, and we're both just like, man! | ||
| Like, I respect the dude. | ||
| I don't know how to agree. | ||
| Like, there's like a... It's just like a thing. | ||
| It doesn't exist in my brain, you know? | ||
| And we hit that impasse. | ||
| And we have conversations about it. | ||
| And then we find out where the line ends and we don't know how to move forward and we're just like, well, you know? | ||
| And then we make jokes about other things and we move on. | ||
| And I know that he'll go and vote how he wants. | ||
| I'll go and vote how I want. | ||
| And I think when you have sane, rational people, someone like Seamus or any other pro-lifer is probably very upset over, say, Roe v. Wade or a lot of these, you know, like Planned Parenthood. | ||
| But they're not going around smashing buildings and starting fires. | ||
| There were people who did, you know, but we don't like those people. | ||
| So I can have a conversation with someone who agrees. | ||
| If we vote and move in a direction, then what you do is you fight for your ideas. | ||
| You argue for your ideas. | ||
| You don't burn everything to the ground because you don't get your way. | ||
| And the Founding Fathers notoriously argued like banshees. | ||
| I mean, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were like best friends and Not worst enemies, but, you know, how you would call it. | ||
| Oil and water. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They died on the same day. | ||
| Isn't that wild? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Literally. | |
| I think John Adams... July 4th. | ||
| John Adams, too, passed... The same year, the same day. | ||
| John Adams passed this, like, anti-speech bill, the Sedition Act, and then Thomas Jefferson got in and got rid of it and then released everybody and, like, clearly disagreed. | ||
| I love that story of those guys. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| We gotta do Super Chats. | ||
| We were just talking about that Pokemon before the show. | ||
| There's a Pokemon named Timpole that wears a beanie, also that face when no Lydia. | ||
| No Lydia GF. | ||
| Haha. | ||
| We were just talking about that Pokemon before the show. | ||
| That's why I brought it up. | ||
| Yeah, oh my gosh. | ||
| So it's not wearing a beanie, it's wearing headphones. | ||
| The Timpole Pokemon is wearing headphones. | ||
| It's also blue and gray and it's like... What year was that? | ||
| Did that Pokemon... Timpole? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But like I wear the gray beanie and it's got like blue and gray ear things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| Some subconscious. | ||
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's see. | |
| We got some more Super Chats. | ||
| Archerable says, in STL outer burbs, seen 17 Biden signs, two across from my house, four Trump. | ||
| It's worse on the Illinois side. | ||
| Nine Biden on one block. | ||
| Not worried for Missouri, but don't get complacent. | ||
| I got to say, man, I'm not... | ||
| I've never seen a Biden sign. | ||
| We saw a Biden bumper sticker earlier today. | ||
| Really? | ||
| That would freak me out. | ||
| It'd be like a horror story. | ||
| Kind of freaked me out. | ||
| I was like, hit him! | ||
| Hit the gas! | ||
| Don't say that. | ||
| This is YouTube. | ||
| You're gonna get in trouble. | ||
| I'm not entirely confident Trump's gonna win. | ||
| And I know a lot of people are like, Tim goes back and forth on this. | ||
| The first thing I'll say is, if you watch my videos out of order, my opinions change. | ||
| And they're like, wait a minute. | ||
| I watched this video. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What was the date on it? | ||
| But also right now we've got all these smears coming out against Trump, like the October surprises. | ||
| There's not going to be an October surprise. | ||
| There's going to be like 50. | ||
| It's going to be hilarious. | ||
| The way I described it earlier is like, there's going to be like an explosion in front of the white house, you know, where I saw fires. | ||
| Then like a clown is going to break through the window, roll onto the field and start like dancing. | ||
| And then like, A helicopter's gonna land and a bunch of command— | ||
| It's gonna be the most ridiculous, nonsensical comic event of October surprises. | ||
| There's gonna be deepfake videos. It's gonna be ridiculous. | ||
| Trump doing weird things. We're already seeing deepfakes all over the place. | ||
| Did you see the RT one? | ||
| No, which one? | ||
| RT made a deepfake of Trump accepting a job at RT after he loses the election. | ||
| And it is like, somebody described it as God tier trolling. | ||
| And I was like, yeah, that you nailed it. | ||
| It was so good. | ||
| Highly recommend looking for it. | ||
| It's hilarious. | ||
| All right, we got another one here from Alama Dorius. | ||
| He says, Tim, I get your complaints about Canucks talking about the U.S. | ||
| election, but remember, we are next to the sleeping elephant, and more often than not, we get dragged into whatever the U.S. | ||
| does. | ||
| So we have a legit concern with who is running your country. | ||
| No, I get it for sure. | ||
| And it's true for a lot of other countries too, man, you know. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| is dominant in a lot of ways. | ||
| Chet Chisholm says, Cassandra I hope your daughter is doing okay. | ||
| That's not something any kid should ever experience. | ||
| You both may find flotation therapy beneficial to unwind and may even help with your insomnia. | ||
| Flotation therapy seems cool. | ||
| I've looked it up. | ||
| I saw a group on for it once and I was looking into it. | ||
| Joe Rogan has sensory deprivation tanks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I should get one and put it in the basement. | |
| I've never done it. | ||
| My friends have done it. | ||
| It's supposedly really fun. | ||
| I've heard really good things. | ||
| You just float in darkness. | ||
| It's just like really thick salt water, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You just lay in it and you can't see anything or hear anything. | ||
| That freaked me out. | ||
| I think I like it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm kind of a weirdo. | ||
| I would have, like, a sensory withdrawal. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| I'd be like, ahh! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| They say that when you're not experiencing any sensual... Sensory... Sensual's the word. | ||
| Sensual. | ||
| When you're having sensory deprivation, that your mind fills the gaps, and you'll hallucinate and stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Man, it would be crazy. | ||
| I gotta give it a shot. | ||
| Keckman says, I like how Ian plays devil's advocate, even though I disagree sometimes, but it's good for podcast discussion. | ||
| Well, that's exactly it. | ||
| You know, like if we're going to argue about something, there has to be some kind of challenge. | ||
| We can't just sit here going, I agree. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I agree. | |
| I agree with you agreeing. | ||
| I tend to think like that too. | ||
| Like if someone makes a statement, I'll think of, even if it's like a one or 2% chance that maybe there's a different way. | ||
| I just, my mind just goes there. | ||
| So I bring it up and I almost always have my whole life and it's made for good conversation. | ||
| And it doesn't reach the absurd levels of you saying 2 plus 2 is 5. | ||
| Yeah, because I'm not obsessed with being right. | ||
| It's just interesting to look at it from a different perspective. | ||
| Here's a good one. | ||
| David said, I bet you a dollar that cop is still armed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| I hope so, too. | ||
| They say, we're taking your gun. | ||
| He probably went, sure. | ||
| And then someone gave him a gun. | ||
| Or his wife has a gun, maybe. | ||
| Right, exactly, exactly. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Godless Monkey says, should the people involved in ballot harvesting have their citizenship revoked if they're immigrants? | ||
| No. | ||
| I think once you have citizenship, you have citizenship. | ||
| If you have a permanent residency, and you commit these crimes or whatever, that's a different story. | ||
| You're not a citizen. | ||
| I'm fine with revoking citizenship. | ||
| I'm like, bye. | ||
| I think it's... I'm not a fan. | ||
| I think a citizen is a citizen. | ||
| If you cross that line, then we have to make sure we don't come to the point where we're like, you're not a citizen anymore, and I don't like the government doing that. | ||
| At what point, though? | ||
| If somebody's been here for a week, and they're already like, No, if they're a citizen. | ||
| To become a citizen takes a really long time. | ||
| You're not just going to show up one day and be a citizen. | ||
| in for 10 years, it's a little different than if somebody's been here for two weeks. | ||
| To become a citizen takes a really long time. | ||
| You're not just going to show up one day and be a citizen. | ||
| You're going to be here for like, if you're getting married, it could take four or five | ||
| years. | ||
| And so then if you gain your citizenship, you've crossed all those hurdles and then | ||
| commit a crime, you go to prison. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| If you're a permanent resident, you're not a citizen, we can send you back home. | ||
| That's the craziest thing that anyone would, like, if we have a criminal here, why are we paying the prison bill? | ||
| They complain about our overpopulated prisons, but then argue that illegal immigrants should go into our overpopulated prisons. | ||
| Just send them home. | ||
| They won't go to prison. | ||
| They'll just be home. | ||
| And then we don't gotta pay that bill and they can be home. | ||
| I don't know why we're paying for it. | ||
| Are they afraid because they'll come back? | ||
| So they want to put them in a prison so they can't come back? | ||
| No, it's because deportation is wrong to the activists. | ||
| And so they're like, put them in prison. | ||
| It's better. | ||
| It's like, why are we paying the bill for overcrowded prisons? | ||
| We want prison reform, not more people in prisons, man. | ||
| Private prisons are crazy. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| HydroPX says, Trump has been saying it for three years. | ||
| It's called a witch hunt. | ||
| Similar to the Salem witch trials. | ||
| The episode is one of the colonial America's most notorious cases of mass hysteria. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Matthew Bird says, please check the mic volumes. | ||
| Only Tim's is at optimal level. | ||
| Yeah, we've got to do, that's definitely true. | ||
| We've got to do a volume check. | ||
| I think after that, I was tweaking them a little bit and I still have a hard time getting the sound just right. | ||
| It's going to take me some time. | ||
| I got to bring my treble up because Tim's voice is like higher than mine. | ||
| I sound like a sloth. | ||
| But I got to either talk like this or just talk like this and turn the treble up. | ||
| My name is Ian. | ||
| I could go like this, but it just takes a lot of energy. | ||
| You should talk like this! | ||
| I can't go like that! | ||
| They're coming for your income, Thomas. | ||
| JC Xmas says, I'm 55 and a veteran. | ||
| We just started another party and call it the Common Sense Party, i.e. | ||
| Thomas Paine. | ||
| I nominate you, Tim. | ||
| I don't want to be involved in any political party. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's like, I just turn the camera on and talk about my feelings. | ||
| Like, I read the news, then I try and figure out what's true and what isn't, and then I talk about how I feel about it. | ||
| Like, do we even need political parties anymore? | ||
| I'd be fine with getting rid of them. | ||
| Yeah, but it's a free speech issue though. | ||
| You're allowed to... They're definitely a problem, in my opinion, because they're private organizations that dictate debates and stuff like that, and they play dirty games, but it's a free speech issue, man. | ||
| You could have the most well-meaning party anyway, and it would get corrupted in a decade, because the only people who want to be politicians, for the most part, are narcissists who want power and want to control other people. | ||
| There are exceptions, like Rand Paul, Ron Paul, Massey, people like that, But for the most part, the people who try to get into positions of power, even in movements, even, you know, not necessarily political parties, the people who want that power and to seek to lead are generally narcissists, in my opinion. | ||
| This is kind of crazy. | ||
| Someone said 9-1-1 is out nationwide. | ||
| Just tuned in now and didn't know if you knew. | ||
| This was as of roughly 45 minutes ago. | ||
| You want to Google that real quick? | ||
| Really? | ||
| Oh, I guess we can't right now. | ||
| Uh, yeah, someone super chatted that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I will also mention that behind Cassandra is one of the displays, and I can see the chat, but you can't make out what people are saying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's so cool. | |
| Yeah, I was trying to avoid that, but here we are, so. | ||
| You can't read what anyone is saying. | ||
| I know, but it's distracting. | ||
| I want the focus to be on Cassandra. | ||
| Oh, I know, but it's funny, because now people, if you're in the chat, start, you know, you're gonna appear. | ||
| Get your chats. | ||
| Yeah, anyway. | ||
| Okay, where we go? | ||
| Yeah, 9-1-1 systems are down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Purge. | ||
| Defund the police. | ||
| Unintended consequences. | ||
| It's good to be armed. | ||
| Yes, arm yourself. | ||
| Great D.R. | ||
| Dude, I finally for the first time got to go around because we have this massive property | ||
| and this is the craziest thing. | ||
| There's like sniper perches all around where we are because the hunters. | ||
| And we're literally surrounded on every side by like hunter property. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And so I was actually worried going out there because I don't know what the rules are. | ||
| Like, what are you supposed to wear when people are hunting and they're hiding? | ||
| And I'm not. | ||
| I'm wearing brown and I'm like, oh, I'm going to go back. | ||
| You know, it's even- Time to get an orange beanie. | ||
| But like, I'm on my property and I can see the tower and like people hiding and I'm like, I'm going to go back just in case. | ||
| Cause I got to read to make sure I'm doing everything right. | ||
| Yeah, I'm really close to, like, some ranges and some deer hunting areas, and you can hear it constantly. | ||
| Yeah, there's constantly gunshots out here. | ||
| I was warned to be careful. | ||
| It's very different, though, than, like, urban gunshots. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| I heard gunshots going off, and I asked one of the locals, and they're like, eh, probably target practice or hunting or something. | ||
| And they're literally like, I was actually warned that you can see where the property lines are if you go into the woods, that you might get shot. | ||
| For a lot of reasons. | ||
| Because the people are hunting, and you're not supposed to be there. | ||
| You're trespassing if you go onto this private property. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So that's why I was like, gotta make sure. | ||
| And apparently there are cameras set up everywhere. | ||
| This is a crazy thing. | ||
| I didn't know people did this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, to track the animals. | |
| My neighborhood, all the people have the trackers up because we have bears. | ||
| And so they've been posting all the cool bear photos. | ||
| There have been deer running around. | ||
| I see them eating grass out here and stuff. | ||
| We have two bears and there's one photo that one of my neighbors posted and it looks like the bear is high-fiving. | ||
| My neighbor was like, I think the bears are doing drug deals in my backyard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have like a neighborhood thing. | |
| We got another one. | ||
| Brock says, Tim, I personally feel we have a society problem, not a police problem, because just like our military, the police force is a volunteer force. | ||
| Thus, everyone wants to be there for a reason. | ||
| Yeah, I hear you. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| The other white nerd says, Tim, you mentioned with Seamus that you were pro-choice as you can't get past telling women what to do with their body. | ||
| It's a little bit more complicated than that. | ||
| Have you heard of evictionism? | ||
| The belief that women have the right to evict, but not kill the fetus. | ||
| I understand that. | ||
| My issue is providing your body to someone, not telling someone what they can't do. | ||
| Like literally the government being like, I would like your blood please, because someone needs it to live. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I noticed when we were having that debate about abortion, a lot of people were talking about like incubation, like being able to gestate the baby outside the womb. | ||
| Like if that, that technology I think is really good now. | ||
| And people kept, kept typing it. | ||
| Well, that's, that's the crazy thing about no restriction abortion, where you might have a viable fetus and they're like, No questions asked. | ||
| Kill it. | ||
| Like, that's kind of crazy to me. | ||
| Like, if it could live, then you're, like, you could take it out and it would live. | ||
| Then you're choosing to kill it. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| So, it gets really interesting as we get to the point. | ||
| That's why I say I'm pro-choice, but like Tulsi, there's, like, serious restrictions on when and how long and stuff like that. | ||
| But then it gets interesting with technology. | ||
| If you can incubate a baby in a plastic bag like they did those sheep or whatever, those lambs, Then at what point is it like, well, if it can live, you know, it becomes really, really crazy. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Cause then at a certain point, it's like, if it can live, then you are choosing to kill it. | ||
| If the technology existed. | ||
| Hydro says, Tim, have you ever thought about taking boxing lessons? | ||
| No, I've taken Kung Fu lessons though. | ||
| I actually have, uh, quite a bit. | ||
| It was fun. | ||
| Learn how to fight with those sticks. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| What are they called? | ||
| The Bokken? | ||
| I think they're called Bokken. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, uh, I had a guy train me on that stuff. | ||
| It's been a while though. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Let's see where we're at. | ||
| Talbot Link says, GamerGate name came from game journos. | ||
| Applied to a certain angry group. | ||
| An indie game maker... I'll just say it. | ||
| Fallated five game journos for good reviews and the story got out. | ||
| GamerGate is the people that got mad at that. | ||
| It grew from there. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| We'll jump down to some of these super chats. | ||
| Where are we at? | ||
| Jeremy Rainman says, Tim, universal mail-in voting in California is not mail-in voting. | ||
| It's much worse. | ||
| It's online voting. | ||
| They're mailing barcodes, and people use barcodes to vote online. | ||
| It's a complete disaster or will be. | ||
| What? | ||
| That means people in Russia could literally just do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| That's amazing. | ||
| This is gonna be nuts. | ||
| You know what I think today, Ab? | ||
| I think Trump's gonna win, and they're gonna be like, he cheated, and the polls prove it. | ||
| There's no way he could have won. | ||
| That's it? | ||
| I don't know, though. | ||
| You know, whatever. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Joseph Henson says, can we talk about the Comey rule and the various interviews surrounding it? | ||
| What's the Comey rule? | ||
| I think that was that Showtime... Oh, that movie was... I saw clips from it. | ||
| It's hilarious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I didn't watch it. | |
| I thought it was a parody. | ||
| I thought it was satirical when they saw the trailer for it. | ||
| Apparently it was real? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Wait, wait, what is this? | ||
| Alyssa Milano didn't pay her taxes? | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| So much to Google you guys, jeez. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I know. | |
| Royal Raptor says, Tim, I'm now imagining you with a flamethrower burning your way through the fake news thick jungle. | ||
| Keep burning it, Beanie Man. | ||
| Well, I'll try. | ||
| We got a couple of leaf blowers. | ||
| They're like super high-powered. | ||
| Tim's gonna put them behind himself and shoot them backwards up the driveway on his skateboard. | ||
| It's a hill. | ||
| So there's another thing. | ||
| We're elevated. | ||
| And so it's like every time you walk down, it's like walking a block just to get the mail. | ||
| And then probably more than that. | ||
| And then getting back up is you're climbing back up, so I'm just like, what if I take two leaf blowers, they're like really high-powered and heavy, and just stand on my skateboard and just like Iron Man my way up, like... Flamethrowers next. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Propulsion. | ||
| I'm gonna give it a shot, see if I can pull it off. | ||
| And then I was thinking of getting four of them, and just connecting the buttons and then having four, and then you'd be going fast. | ||
| You could probably go like 30 or 40 miles an hour with those things on full blast. | ||
| I wonder how many you would need to fly. | ||
| Because they have weight themselves. | ||
| They don't displace their own weight. | ||
| So you probably wouldn't work. | ||
| But moving, they can make you move, but not elevate. | ||
| Jonathan Lauren says, stream the debate! | ||
| Crowder does it. | ||
| You just have to make sure you speak over most of it. | ||
| Can't let more than a minute go without talking over it. | ||
| For Fair Use Act. | ||
| Not sure about exact time. | ||
| I think you would have a good time with it. | ||
| I'll be here. | ||
| We could, yeah. | ||
| You know, he got pulled for streaming Biden. | ||
| I would do, I'd rather have it on and just... Timer. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, we'll set a timer with the debate, I guess. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's kind of hard. | ||
| So as soon as the debate starts, we press go on the timer? | ||
| Yeah, something like that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, we'll try. | ||
| And then we'll sit here and make fun of the debate, and then you can just play it along with it. | ||
| I don't know if that's gonna work. | ||
| Like the fight companion, the fights have a clock that they synchronize to. | ||
| The debates don't have an actual clock. | ||
| I think, I don't know if we can pull it off, to be honest. | ||
| Like, we've never set anything up like that, and I don't know if it would work. | ||
| Otherwise, we're not gonna do this show. | ||
| We'll never know if we don't try. | ||
| You know, we should probably just have the debate on and just do the show, and then we'll talk about the debate, and it'll be like, watch it or don't. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, we could. | ||
| If they pull it, they pull it. | ||
| I mean, they pulled Crowder for having that fight. | ||
| No, we're not going to stream the debate. | ||
| I'm saying we'll have the debate on in the background. | ||
| Yeah, we've got a TV now we can look at. | ||
| We'll figure it out, but I'm kind of leaning towards we're probably not going to be able to do it. | ||
| We'll probably just not be live tomorrow because I want to watch the debate and tweet about it. | ||
| Jade Kemp says Biden has advanced Parkinson's disease. | ||
| Brings on dementia. | ||
| Best treatment is medical marijuana and is needed for patient to function. | ||
| This is why Trump wants a drug test. | ||
| Stoner Joe is hotbox in the basement. | ||
| Drug test Biden. | ||
| Follow Jake Kemp on Twitter. | ||
| I don't believe that's true. | ||
| Oh, someone said something about the Fed. | ||
| Where did it go? | ||
| Wait, hold on. | ||
| Menace North says, if they go after the Fed, I would go with them, but they are neo-Marxists using Black Lives Matter, is that what you meant? | ||
| To elect the same politicians. | ||
| Or using social justice. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Nicholas Marquis says, I'm going to tell my kids this was the 2020 debates in this video. | ||
| Oh, that was the part where we were arguing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was hot. | |
| I want to watch it. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| It was fun. | ||
| It was fun. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Seth G says, how much do you think social media plays a part in Black Lives Matter and woke culture in general? | ||
| 100%. | ||
| If it didn't exist, there would be no Black Lives Matter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Adrian Curry says, Ian is too nice of a guy to understand the kind of indoctrinated evil. | ||
| His argument comes from an inability to comprehend the kind of sociopathic mental break. | ||
| Judge him not. | ||
| He of pure heart. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I know, like Charles Manson for instance, I know he was just a broken psychopath, but there's still humanity in people. | ||
| People are not one way or the other. | ||
| This is my opinion. | ||
| Maybe I'm wrong, but I, you know, it's how I live my life. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Christopher Barth says you all might want to take a hunting class. | ||
| Not to go hunting, but to know the rules and information the hunters should know around you, and what you can do to help make sure you don't get accidentally shot. | ||
| Great advice. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Michael Bell says, hey Tim and friends, just wondering what your thoughts are when it comes to the use of psychedelics during therapy. | ||
| I defer to doctors. | ||
| If a doctor says go for it, I say sure, whatever. | ||
| I've heard MDMA is fantastic for couples therapy. | ||
| And for PTSD. | ||
| Yeah, PTSD. | ||
| My personal experience is yes. | ||
| Yes, it's fantastic therapy. | ||
| Here's, um, this dude says, watched CancelCon after Cassandra mentioned it. | ||
| None of them have ever been canceled. | ||
| Very cringed. | ||
| All the questions were from pre-approved student groups. | ||
| Could the Fuentes TP USA thing be the reason? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| I don't know, what is that thing? | ||
| Oh, where they like went to war with each other? | ||
| The Groyper War. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Well, Ben Shapiro holding something called, sorry my chair is squeaking, called the Cancel Con while also calling for people to be canceled and being extremely selective on who's allowed to ask questions, who's allowed to engage. | ||
| It's a bit hypocritical. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think. | ||
| It was boring to act like the right doesn't have their, you know, anti free speech, you know, people. | ||
| I'm not specifically saying about Ben Shapiro, anything like that, but I think it's more about | ||
| tendencies. The left tends to do these illiberal things substantially more often than the right | ||
|
unidentified
|
does, but the right still has, you know, but the thing is a grifter, the right will hold events | |
| being like we're anti cancel culture. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then cancel culture. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And they do it a lot. | ||
| I mean, even with Covington, for example, there were a ton of mainstream conservatives who immediately jumped on the bandwagon that he did something wrong. | ||
| Oh, for sure. | ||
| They were ready to throw him to the wolves, because they're like, eat me last. | ||
| But the window's gonna keep getting smaller, so you feed him Nick Fuentes. | ||
| Next, they're gonna come for Malkin. | ||
| You feed him Malkin. | ||
| Next, they're gonna come for Matt Walsh. | ||
| And it's just gonna keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller. | ||
| And I hope they enjoy being eaten. | ||
| This is the problem of when you're loyal to people who aren't loyal back, and when you're playing by the rules and everyone else is cheating. | ||
| So you're like, okay, you're right, that was wrong, we'll change, and they go, good, and then they don't. | ||
| And the media won't talk about it. | ||
| So they weaponize it against you, you give in, and they keep doing it until you're no more. | ||
| That's what's really annoying when I talk to conservatives and they're like, I don't think we should regulate Facebook or Twitter or these big businesses, and I'm like, that's fine by me, I'm a liberal, so your ideals will be gone in a couple years because you think it's okay that they're erasing what you believe. | ||
| Whatever, man, I'm not gonna argue, fine, whatever. | ||
| The funniest thing, they're like, on my Wikipedia page it says something like, Tim Pool agrees with conservatives about social media censoring them or whatever, and I'm like, It's always been a liberal position to regulate big businesses that are infringing upon the commons. | ||
| How have I changed my political alignment by saying we should regulate big companies that are ruining the commons? | ||
| I worked for a non-profit where we fundraised on the Clean Water Restoration Act and protecting open air and the environment because I think big corporations that destroy the commons should be regulated. | ||
| Same thing with social media. | ||
| But that's a right-wing thing now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, whatever, man. | ||
| I think of it as very centrist. | ||
| It's our most constitutional duty to make sure that no business co-ops the American government. | ||
| I mean, sure. | ||
| It's not necessarily what I'm saying, but I hear what you're saying. | ||
| Yeah, I think that they're wrong when they call you a right-winger conservative trying to regulate big tech. | ||
| I mean, that's an obvious American thing to do. | ||
| Well, liberals were always for regulation, conservatives were for more deregulation. | ||
| It's not absolute, like, conservatives only want deregulation, that liberals only want regulation, but it was a tendency. | ||
| So all of a sudden I'm like, I think we should not allow companies to be dumping their waste into, say, the Ohio River, or was it the Cuyahoga or something? | ||
| Yeah, that's where I'm from, Cuyahoga Falls. | ||
| It caught on fire in the 50s. | ||
| Exactly, exactly. | ||
| And then they were like, we better pass a law because our water is on fire. | ||
| Yeah, my dad saw it catch on fire. | ||
| That's crazy, right? | ||
| When our water is on fire, maybe we need to make... And the problem was, there wasn't one company just dumping tons of waste. | ||
| It was all the companies doing a little bit. | ||
| bit. | ||
| The Akron rubber boom, Akron was like the rubber capital of the world. | ||
| They must have had so much industrial waste just pumping right into the Cuyahoga River. | ||
| But it was all these different companies adding to it. | ||
| And so they kept saying, I only did a little bit. | ||
| I only, I only added a little bit. | ||
| It's not my fault. | ||
| And they were like, okay, everybody, you got to slow down. | ||
| So I'm like, that makes sense to me. | ||
| You know, we, we, we have that, you know, same thing is true for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and whatever. | ||
| We have to have reasonable regulation. | ||
| And you think it's right-wing because these companies happen to be left-wing? | ||
| So regulating left-wing companies makes you right-wing? | ||
| Because left and right is just a tribal, you know. | ||
| You know, association, I guess. | ||
| I'd love to go deep on 230 reform. | ||
| I think we should have Bill down. | ||
| I mentioned it to him once because he knows a lot about it. | ||
| That's, that's so tough, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's tough. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| We, I mean, it's so important that we free the software code and not try and make laws about what they have to do, because that's my opinion. | ||
| Here we go, we got Kelly Prophet says, it's an amalgamation of things. I call it media anxiety | ||
| disorder, mad. Group think connected by modern media forms combined with gaslighting and | ||
| illusionary truth effect, delegating thought to media. I think when you have people who can form | ||
| their own collectives online very easily, you just end up with a whole bunch of weirdo fringe | ||
| conspiracy networks. | ||
| There's no unified truth. | ||
| There's no shared reality anymore. | ||
| Then you get like the likes of CNN saying that Fox News lives in an alternate reality. | ||
| And then you get everyone else pointing out that Fox News doesn't even Google search how to pronounce names. | ||
| So they should not be the ones making those claims. | ||
| Before social media, you had to actually go out in the world to find a cult to join. | ||
| Now you can just go online. | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
| It's ruined cults! | ||
| It has! | ||
| There's been studies about how there's fewer cults now because people can find communities online instead of having to join communes. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| We were just watching a bunch of 80s movies. | ||
| We watched Teen Wolf. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Man, that movie was terrible. | |
| I don't know much about it because it was made in 1985, but we're watching it and I haven't seen it since I was a little kid. | ||
| I'm like, man, this movie's really bad. | ||
| But there was a scene where the one dude runs to his car and jumps in it. | ||
| and they like drive off and I just thought about that moment where they have no phones, | ||
| they have no idea where anyone is, and everything they're going towards in terms of their decisions | ||
| is the unknown. So like you get in your car and you're like where should I go? | ||
| Let's go to this place and who knows what'll happen. | ||
| Now it's like you pull up Twitter and you're like, there's a fire on 4th Street, there's a flood on 3rd Street, Antifo's on 7th Street, and Jim's at, you know, Gino's Pizza on 12th Street. | ||
| You just know. | ||
| You know where you're going, you know why you're going there, you know what's there. | ||
| You want to go to the store, looking for something to buy? | ||
| You already know what's there. | ||
| You go online, you're like, they got the thing I need, boom, you go walk there, it's there. | ||
| There's no mystery anymore. | ||
| Everything is just solved, it's boring. | ||
| I think this is part of what contributes to people losing their minds. | ||
| Wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because before this, your time was occupied by discovery. | ||
| I remember when I was a little kid and I'd be like, I wonder, you know, I call my friend's house and they're like, he's not here. | ||
| I guess I'm not hanging out with him today. | ||
| And then you'd walk around to all the places trying to figure out where they were, wasting your whole day. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| It's like, that's the purpose. | ||
| You have purpose that day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Find the guy. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| But now it's like, Oh, there he is at the park. | ||
| And you go there and then you're both sitting there like, this is boring. | ||
| And like, I would want to go get comic books. | ||
| My purpose would be in there, but now you just throw them on. | ||
| And you go there like, I wonder what comics they have. | ||
| And you're like going through and you don't know. | ||
| And then you go to the guy and you're like, when's Spider-Man getting in? | ||
| I made all my friends at the record store. | ||
| I used to go hang out at the record store every day, even if I had no money. | ||
| Eighth grade, seventh grade, go sit at the record store, be like, hey, what do you got in today? | ||
| And then you meet other people there, and then you end up going to the coffee shop to see a band that you heard about at the record store. | ||
| There's none of that now. | ||
| You can't go to the Spotify. | ||
| Go on YouTube and listen to Spotify. | ||
| And you go in the comments, and then everyone in the comments is complaining about some fringe political issue, no matter what it is. | ||
| You know what I love? | ||
| Go to any song, like an older song, and the comments are all, who's here from, you know, insert year. | ||
| And it's like, eh. | ||
| Dude, I've got a video called, oh, geez, what is it? | ||
| October 11th, 2007. | ||
| It was just a video I made on that day. | ||
| I just named it that date. | ||
| And now I've got kids, well, they're 13 now, making comments. | ||
| This is the day I was born. | ||
| This is the day I was born. | ||
| I searched the day I was born on YouTube and this video comes up. | ||
| And they're all 13, apparently. | ||
| When's the video from? | ||
| 2007, like October 11th, 2007, something like that. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| You know, I think about how weird it is that there are, like, people who hit me up who are older, you know, 50s or 60s, and I'm like, man, this person was, like, having a family and a job and I didn't even exist. | ||
| And now they're watching my show? | ||
| It's kind of crazy. | ||
| Yeah, it's, like, timeless. | ||
| It's like the... Humans just keep emerging and then existing and then, like, they're people. | ||
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| The purpose is changed. | ||
| It's very different. | ||
| We have so much more power now. | ||
| So, like, back in the day, the purpose was to find a cell phone or a telephone to call my mom by 630. | ||
| And now, like, the purpose is you can do anything. | ||
| You can learn quantum mechanics when you're seven, because you have all the data in front of you. | ||
| It's too much. | ||
| Yeah, people's brains are exploding. | ||
| I remember when I was little, I'd be like, how old was I, like nine or ten? | ||
| My mom would be like, come back when the streetlights come on, and I would just leave. | ||
| And my mom would have no idea where I was. | ||
| And then I would come back after like, you know, a few minutes after the lights were turned on. | ||
| I remember my parents would always be like, for every minute you're out past curfew, you're grounded for a day. | ||
| Brutal. | ||
| And so, I remember, like, I was four miles from my house at the comic shop playing Pokemon, and I was looking at the clock, like, I had my rollerblades, and I knew exactly how long it took me to rollerblade full speed home, and I would, like, time it. | ||
| I'm like, I don't want to leave yet! | ||
| It takes me 13 minutes! | ||
| And then, as soon as it hit, like, you know, 47, I'd be like, time to go! | ||
| And I'd just, like, jump out the door and go full speed, make it home, and I'd be okay. | ||
| Oh, nice. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| See, those are the days you just didn't know, your parents didn't know, and you had these rules. | ||
| Now it's like, the kids are chipped, basically. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Like, almost literally. | ||
| Aren't they chipping kids now? | ||
| Well, they have like backpacks that have chips in them that you can track. | ||

They have backpacks with bulletproof plates in them. | |
| Solar panels on them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, I think we are well past our normal time. | ||
| We went long today. | ||
| It was a fun conversation. | ||
| We went a half an hour over, so I was like, we gotta do Super Chats. | ||
| So thank you everybody for the Super Chats. | ||
| Make sure you smash that like button and subscribe. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| We might be back tomorrow. | ||
| I hate to do this to you guys, but we're gonna try and see if we can do something with the debates. | ||
| It might be too difficult. | ||
| Whenever there's something like this, I want to actually watch it because, you know, it's part of my job to actually watch and see what they're all saying. | ||
| And it might be distracting and difficult if we're doing a show instead of actually just hanging out and watching it. | ||
| So that seems likely that we might not be streaming. | ||
| But anyway, we will have clips up tomorrow throughout the day from today's show. | ||
| Make sure you subscribe, like button, notification bell, all of that stuff. | ||
| The show is normally live Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. | ||
| So we will be back most likely Wednesday. | ||
| And I don't know, do you guys want to mention your socials or anything before we dip out? | ||
| Yes, I'm Cassandra Fairbanks. | ||
