you you | |
| federal prosecutors are considering whether or not they can charge many of | ||
| the people involved in the ride at the Capitol with felony murder. | ||
| And it's just one of the stories that's coming out showing the reaction to those who stormed the Capitol. | ||
| The logic here is that if you are part of a group that is in the process of committing a crime and someone dies, then you get charged with felony murder. | ||
| In this regard, they're saying, Not everybody, but a large portion of the people who were there, who were part of that melee, who were breaking in, may all actually face those charges, and that will be probably hundreds of people. | ||
| We've seen similar things, kind of. | ||
| In 2017, on January 20th, when Trump was being inaugurated, several hundred Antifa types, and, you know, wearing all black, got arrested, and they tried charging them all with conspiracy under the idea That by wearing black, they were aiding and abetting the other people who were committing crimes. | ||
| It did not fly. | ||
| So this might not either, and they might not even do it. | ||
| But this is the only thing that's happening to Trump supporters following what happened at the Capitol. | ||
| Parler, as you know, was shut down. | ||
| They're now fighting back, filing a lawsuit against Amazon. | ||
| And this is really interesting because the lawsuit makes some really interesting points. | ||
| At the same time, Amazon was claiming Parler wasn't policing this criminal activity, which was people inciting violence and calling for death and things like that. | ||
| They say Parler wasn't doing that, so we're going to terminate you without notice, breaching the contract, according to Parler. | ||
| And they said at the same time, Hang Mike Pence was trending on Twitter and there was no application or threats or removal from Twitter for the same thing. | ||
| And they note, Recently, Amazon signed a multi-year contract with Twitter to handle their data, so this looks more like anti-competitive action from a cabal of Silicon Valley elites, considering Parler was the fastest growing network, the number one app on the iTunes store. | ||
| Seems particularly... well. | ||
| It seems like they may be right. | ||
| Well, we got another story, too. | ||
| There's video going around of a guy getting kicked off a plane. | ||
| Apparently, many of these people at the Capitol were put on a no-fly list. | ||
| So, things are getting particularly crazy. | ||
| We've got Facebook censorship hitting. | ||
| We've got Cumulus Radio telling, you know, many conservatives that if you say the election was stolen, they're going to nuke you outright. | ||
| Here it comes, man. | ||
| The purge is going to be long-lasting. | ||
| There's talks of widespread armed Howdy! | ||
| Yes, the senior political analyst on my channel, and the number one senior political analyst on YouTube. | ||
| into the 20th. So we got a lot to talk about. | ||
| Hanging out with us today is, of course, Andrew from Don't Walk Run | ||
| Productions. | ||
| Howdy. | ||
| Now, you're the senior political analyst. | ||
| Yes, the senior political analyst on on my channel and the number one senior political analyst on YouTube. | ||
| So you didn't quite make chief. | ||
| No, I'm a humble guy. | ||
| I'm humble. | ||
| I don't need to be called President or CEO or Tim Poole. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Heaven forbid I use my name on my own show. | |
| Luke's hanging out. | ||
| And they went after Ron Paul. | ||
| Oh my goodness, I've got a lot to say about that. | ||
| Hi, I am the sensei behind WeAreChange.org and it's been really nice communicating to everyone on that top right hand corner when people put in their emails in this slew of all this censorship that's going on. | ||
| WeAreChange.org, top right hand corner. | ||
| Nice talking to all of you amazing people. | ||
| I need to stress, too, yeah, the Ron Paul thing. | ||
| How dare they? | ||
| The weirdest thing is the people, like, on Reddit ragging on Ron Paul. | ||
| And I'm like, what? | ||
| He's like an old man who's like, freedom! | ||
| He's calling for peace in the Middle East and he criticized Donald Trump more than, I think, a lot of people on the left effectively. | ||
| It's because they have no... I'm sure there's a lot of people who are like, I guess Ron Paul's bad. | ||
| There's a lot we got to talk about. | ||
| Oh, I know why. | ||
| People are just going crazy calling people misogynists, white supremacists. | ||
| We're calling you that. | ||
| And a lot of other people and a lot of other kind of libertarians, anti-establishment and cap types who are like, wait, wait, wait, hold on. | ||
| This is not about MAGA. | ||
| Ron Paul was against the larger foreign policy of Donald Trump. | ||
| He criticized him on so many police state issues. | ||
| And now he's a part of the Klan that, you know, the group think mentality saying he's it. | ||
| He's a part of the MAGA crowd. | ||
| Got to take him out. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| No. | ||
| We have two more important people to introduce as well. | ||
| So we got Ian. | ||
| Ian has two gorillas. | ||
| I do have two gorillas. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| Gorilla one and gorilla two. | ||
| So the gorilla shirt, it's on the store, but YouTube hasn't approved it, I guess. | ||
| I don't know how that works. | ||
| Funny. | ||
| We're making another one, and we might have a limited edition one where it's the same shirt, but he's wearing a tinfoil hat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So that'll be like a bonus, maybe an exclusive purchase. | ||
| Oh, that one's gonna sell well. | ||
| What's going on, Ian? | ||
| You know, not much. | ||
| I have actively not been engaged much in the news media today, except for watching that guy at the airport get told he was on a no-fly list. | ||
| I mean, once you hear the pain in the individual's voice, I think is when it really, for me, is when it really hits home what we could end up doing to these people inadvertently. | ||
| And all of us, all of us, inadvertently, incrementally, were not careful. | ||
| Look, if somebody committed a crime, like the dude who, you know, the people who were attacking the cops and, like, literally killed a guy, those people go to jail, right? | ||
| Of course, I think so, yeah, for sure. | ||
| But there's a lot of people who are being falsely accused, just because they're near there and their photos were there. | ||
| In the New York Times, we had Richie on the show, and the New York Times put up a caption saying he was a rioter who punched the glass, when he was actually just like, my phone, it fell! | ||
| He's a journalist! | ||
| And with Elijah, that's crazy stuff. | ||
| So we'll talk about all this. | ||

| Check it out. | ||
| And again, thanks. | ||
| Let's jump over to the first story. | ||
| The story about prosecutors. | ||
| This is from WTOP News. | ||
| This is a local DC. | ||
| Prosecutors weigh heavy hammer, felony murder for rioters in Capitol officer's death. | ||
| They say as federal prosecutors file charges against rioters who took part in last Wednesday's violent takeover of the U.S. | ||
| Capitol, investigators continue to gather evidence in the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died from injuries sustained during the attack. | ||
| While most murder investigations focus on the person or persons who caused the fatal injury, former federal prosecutor Tim Heafey said prosecutors could charge many rioters with felony murder even if they were nowhere near sicknick. | ||
| Heafey led the months-long investigation into law enforcement performance before, during, and after the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville. | ||
| Heafey was in the U.S. | ||
| Attorney for Western District of Virginia from December 2009 through January 2015, appointed by Obama. | ||
| Under the doctrine of felony murder, which applies in the District of Columbia, any murder | ||
| that occurs during the commission of one of several underlying felonies is chargeable | ||
| as felony murder, saying, quote, The classic example is if three guys go to rob a convenience | ||
| store and one guy is the getaway driver. | ||
| If in the commission of the robbery, the clerk was shot and killed, all three of the participants | ||
| in the robbery of the store are potentially guilty of felony murder. | ||
| On January 6th, as most of you know, there was a raucous event at the Capitol. | ||
| Some call it an insurrection, some call it a riot, some call it storming. | ||
| They say in the federal murder code, 11 underlying felonies which can be part of a felony murder charge are listed. | ||
| One which could be applicable to the January 6 takeover is burglary. | ||
| Quote, You could look at the storming of the doors of the Capitol by that riotous mob as burglary. | ||
| If they went in with the intent to steal, disrupt proceedings, to commit other offenses, they committed burglary. | ||
| And therefore, a murder that occurred during the course of a burglary could be potentially charged as felony murder. | ||
| The mere act of breaking into the Capitol doesn't constitute burglary. | ||
| Prosecutors would need to prove that they intended to do something criminal once they were inside. | ||
| Let's say somebody storms the Capitol with the intent to disrupt Congress, or steal the sign outside of Speaker Pelosi's door, and there's a murder that occurs in the midst of that. | ||
| He could be charged with felony murder. | ||
| As with any crime, federal or state, prosecutors have to weigh whether charges can be sustained in court. | ||
| They say in this case, with crimes committed on federal property, and in the death of a federal employee, the U.S. | ||
| Attorney for the District of Columbia, which prosecutes cases in both federal and local courts, would have the felony murder count at its disposal. | ||
| So I'll say this. | ||
| It wasn't just the officer who died. | ||
| It was Ashley Babbitt. | ||
| I think if they go this route, and they could, I'm not entirely sure they will, they could actually charge these people, maybe even every single person who went in the building, with the death of Ashley Babbitt because a death occurred in the commission of a crime. | ||
| There's a lot of things that are crazy about this. | ||
| There have been photos popping up of random people who are like, well, I mean, most people I guess were kind of random in a sense, but some people who weren't even in the building. | ||
| People are doxing them and saying they were there. | ||
| That's enough. | ||
| That's all that matters. | ||
| Some people who weren't in the building at all. | ||
| And in the case of the New York Times, we just mentioned this. | ||
| Richie McGinnis, who's been on the show several times, who's a journalist. | ||
| He's actually the journalist who tried to save the life of the man who was shot in Kenosha, Wisconsin earlier this year. | ||
| He's up against a window, pointing down, and the New York Times ran a caption saying that he was a rioter who punched the glass when they wouldn't let him in, which is just not true. | ||
| He dropped his phone and he was trying to ask someone to pick it up for him. | ||
| So this is where things get weird. | ||
| If they actually... I guess the question is, are they going to go after all of the Trump supporters with an iron fist? | ||
| When you look at Black Lives Matter and how the district attorneys were releasing these people and not charging them, there's a question of whether or not they're going to be biased against conservatives and just run them over the coals, throw the book at them. | ||
| Or are they going to be worried about potentially setting off some kind of political spark by going for Trump supporters in this way? | ||
| I think a couple things. | ||
| One, this whole felony murder thing is an overreach in the worst way. | ||
| Because when you talk about Three or four people robbing a convenience store. | ||
| It's all coordinated. | ||
| It's all planned. | ||
| They are in cahoots with each other. | ||
| All the people that stormed the Capitol, they didn't know each other. | ||
| Were they all on parlor and saying, hey, we're going to do this particular thing? | ||
| These people didn't even know each other. | ||
| Or the person that shot David Dorn. | ||
| You go, well, everybody who was part of the riot is complicit. | ||
| You can't say that. | ||
| That's the question of bias. | ||
| They wouldn't do that for the riots with Black Lives Matter. | ||
| Would they do it here? | ||
| Well, that's different. | ||
| It's a different story, too, because you're talking about district attorneys on a local level, on a state level. | ||
| Now, since this happened on federal property, you're talking about the DOJ and the incoming DOJ. | ||
| So you're probably not going to see... It's all this talk about charges, but you're not going to see anything really come about until after Biden is inaugurated. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Unless Trump comes out and just sweeping pardons everybody. | ||
| I actually made a joke on my Twitter about that. | ||
| You think it's going to happen? | ||
| No, it won't. | ||
| But that would be kind of a bold move, wouldn't you say? | ||
| Well, another thing to really kind of understand here, I remember seeing someone post saying well it's good to see that the FBI could be | ||
| effective when they want to be and we have to admit the FBI has been pulling out all | ||
| the stops there's videos of them of showing up at people's homes stopping people at | ||
| airports they're putting up signs on bus stops so they're doing everything | ||
| in their power and utilizing all of their power in an extensive way which | ||
| seems like they're activated in a way that they weren't before and if we're | ||
| gonna look at responsibility I mean there's already some investigations | ||
| going around the Capitol Police there's some officers suspended but wasn't | ||
| it wasn't there six requests that were denied for extra police assistance | ||
| by the mayor's office No, not by the mayor's office. | ||
| It was by Capitol Police. | ||
| By the Capitol Police. | ||
| Six times they got denied. | ||
| The mayor, this is really interesting. | ||
| Muriel Bowser was, according to the New York Times, concerned about having an excessive police presence | ||
| following a summer of riots and the criticism of over-policing. | ||
| She was like, I don't want it. | ||
| We want limited, you know, National Guard, just guiding traffic and some police. | ||
| And so she said a narrow, unarmed mission. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Six times they asked. | ||
| They said, we need more police for this. | ||
| And they're like, nah. | ||
| Well, see, that's the thing. | ||
| When you read Twitter and everybody goes, didn't you see this coming? | ||
| We saw this coming! | ||
| We all saw it coming! | ||
| And you're like, well, the mayor didn't. | ||
| The black mayor of Washington, D.C. | ||
| didn't. | ||
| So if she didn't, then... Well, she put out a statement on the 5th saying, like, I'll make it clear I am not requesting a strong police presence here. | ||
| It's the aftermath of saying, defund the police, man! | ||
| The politicians get scared, and they're like, alright, alright, let's hold back because we don't want... Like, think about it. | ||
| After painting Black Lives Matter in the street, renaming the plaza, and then saying, I want a battalion of jackboots marching through the streets, locking everything down, people... She would get roasted by the left! | ||
| So she's like, nope, nope. | ||
| And now she's going to get roasted by the left no matter what. | ||
| But she was already being roasted by the left when she went out of her way. | ||
| She made sure that the street said Black Lives Matter. | ||
| There was another argument because they wanted more. | ||
| She didn't want to give it to them, but we have to understand. | ||
| Somebody put defund the police next to it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then they like washed it off. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then some people were being charged with hate crimes for putting out similar messages, but in a different kind of political Really kind of really think here along the lines of everything that that's unfolding we have to understand this is extremely political when we have someone in a prosecutor's office when we have someone appointed as Attorney General | ||
| And we have George Soros giving them millions of dollars. | ||
| There's a reason he's investing so much money, because you not only get political favors, but you're able to kind of sweep the landscape of our society in ways that laws can't. | ||
| Because when you choose how to enforce laws, and this is the selective enforcement of it to the highest degree, when you see it done this way, it is awe-stunning to see what they could get away with. | ||
| You know, it's funny, uh, Shuon had posted his tweet where she was like, it's a screenshot of Parler being removed. | ||
| And she said, Raitos, this is what Bezos has taken from you. | ||
| Let's redistribute his wealth as, as like revenge or whatever. | ||
| And I just thought it was really funny. | ||
| And I'm like, I'm okay with this. | ||
| I look, I'm not really okay with the idea of like seizing the wealth of everybody and just spreading it around. | ||
| There's a problem with corporate power and government power when it exceeds certain levels. | ||
| But when you have someone like Bezos, who has so much money, and Mackenzie Bezos specifically putting billions of dollars into left-wing political causes, it's creating instability. | ||
| So there's certainly something to complain about there. | ||
| But I think it's funny you bring up, you know, the influence people get when they buy politicians, which they basically do. | ||
| And there's really not, like, I don't know if there's a way we actually stop that process. | ||
| But there is, I think, a left and a right could come together on this and be like, yo, these people are subverting our institutions and that's a problem. | ||
| Well, you'll also, speaking of Parler, you'll also never guess. | ||
| The Washington Post put out, the editorial board put out an opinion piece about Parler. | ||
| You'll never guess what their opinion was. | ||
| It's a good thing it was made. | ||
| It was a good thing. | ||
| It was a good thing. | ||
| Our boss did the right thing. | ||
| We're seeing a lot of flip-flopping. | ||
| Let's be honest here. | ||
| We're seeing a lot of people flip from their original ideas of defunding to police to now the police are great. | ||
| And there's even some individuals arguing that Ashley Babbitt deserved it. | ||
| That's the left. | ||
| Those people are sick. | ||
| Yes, and when you're making arguments like that after having months of protest against the police, and now you're supporting the police, you really have to start asking yourself, what's going on here? | ||
| And these flip-flops happen not just within the left, they happen within the right in some instances, but right now we are seeing this kind of shifting of basic kind of virtues overnight because of political power, because of wanting your side to win, because of gang affiliation, which is more important than the truth to many people. | ||
| Let me say something. | ||
| George Floyd should not have died. | ||
| Brenna Taylor should not have died. | ||
| Ashley Babbitt should not have died. | ||
| It is a tragedy when any person loses their life. | ||
| You know, I was saying it earlier. | ||
| I don't care if you committed a crime. | ||
| You know, I don't want you to die. | ||
| I understand there are circumstances where someone could be violent and dangerous, and only in the process of trying to preserve life do we end someone else's life. | ||
| That's self-defense. | ||
| That's why we allow that as a defense in court or as a reason not to prosecute somebody. | ||
| But to see Antifa Say that a person who was shot, an unarmed person shot by a cop, deserved it. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| Talk about the utmost hypocrisy. | ||
| Now listen, when I saw those conservatives throwing the Blue Lives Matter on the ground and stomping on it, that to me looked more like anger and kind of a realization as to what they were experiencing. | ||
| And it was, for a lot of the conservatives who were, you know, being basically shut down by these cops, they've never had this happen before because conservatives don't protest, for the most part. | ||
| So to them it was kind of like this new experience where they were like, dude, are you kidding me? | ||
| This is ridiculous what they're doing. | ||
| So they stomped on that flag. | ||
| That's not hypocrisy. | ||
| That's a change of opinion. | ||
| To an extent, I can respect Antifa changing their opinion if their opinion was consistent. | ||
| They're saying an unarmed woman who was shot by a cop deserved it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So- But the guy with the taser shooting at cops, that's, you know, shouldn't have happened. | ||
| They're saying that the fascist US government killing an unarmed woman is justified. | ||
| Antifa defending what they claim to be fascists. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| We're going into a very scary time where policies no longer matter and only power matters. | ||
| And when you go towards this particular instant of where we're at right now, we're going to see people leveraging that power and trying to use that power to try to hurt their political opposition. | ||
| And I think that's where we are right now with people trying to take advantage and escalating threats and fear-mongering about them to | ||
| really rattle their base to support this kind of emergency takeover of civil liberties because that's | ||
| historically what always happens. | ||
| You know regarding Ashley Babbitt, I don't support, I'm not glad she's dead, but she was climbing | ||
| through a window into a sensitive area of the Capitol building with a few armed guards that | ||
| were terrified for their lives and probably charged to protect things and people in there. | ||
| Did you see the video footage? | ||
| She had a backpack on, so she could have had a bomb in that, and that's probably what went through their mind when they saw her. | ||
| I think they had seen her. | ||
| You're supposed to defend the Capitol. | ||
| He couldn't see her. | ||
| She stuck her head up. | ||
| There's police officers behind her. | ||
| Listen, I'll say this. | ||
| I don't think that officer should be criminally charged. | ||
| It's his job to defend the Capitol. | ||
| He's got politicians inside, and people were breaking the glass and trying to break in, and she pops up and he fired. | ||
| We can have a discussion about administrative procedure due to the fact that he fired on a person. | ||
| Maybe he fired too soon. | ||
| Maybe he should have waited. | ||
| Maybe it was the right thing. | ||
| We can have the discussion, okay? | ||
| No criminal charges, in my opinion. | ||
| Because, yeah, you break your way into the Capitol. | ||
| She may have been part of the group that they opened the door for. | ||
| We have no idea. | ||
| Maybe she was part of the group that shoved their way in. | ||
| But you have an unarmed person and a bunch of bewildered and doting people, many of whom didn't know what was going on, like that old grandma lady waving the little flag. | ||
| She clearly had no idea what was happening. | ||
| So for this woman to get shot, it's tragic. | ||
| I wish it didn't happen. | ||
| I don't blame the cop. | ||
| We saw criminal charges for less for officers before, which is also important to bring up. | ||
| There should be an entire investigation into what happened, and there should be a jury deciding what should happen from here, but I don't think you're right, Ian. | ||
| That's just my opinion. | ||
| I mean, it's remember again, you're it's this is so different because it's on a federal level. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| These people are not elected. | ||
| These you know, the the attorney general is not elected. | ||
| Unlike, say, Keith Ellison in Minnesota. | ||
| He was elected. | ||
| You know, the the the woman from St. | ||
| Louis with the McCluskey's. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Elected. | ||
| And again, George Soros stuff. | ||
| So that's it. | ||
| It's an entirely different scenario. | ||
| And it's in a way it's scarier on the state level because at least on the | ||
| federal level, there's, well, there should be less bias, but it depends on who you pick. | ||
| It's why this private police conversation starts, it's freaking me out. | ||
| We have a lot of people in here that are like, ANCAP to the extreme, where it's like, no, no public service, we want private police only. | ||
| Like, a private policeman can shoot you dead. | ||
| Well, it depends. | ||
| I mean, if you make the argument for Detroit, Detroit implemented private police and they had positive results because of that. | ||
| And, you know, you really get into a big argument here that is kind of taken away from the kind of conversation, because there's still just so many other things that we could delve into. | ||
| But I understand both sides of the argument here. | ||
| We do have some breaking news, though. | ||
| Trump has declared a state of emergency in D.C. | ||
| ahead of Biden's inauguration. | ||
| It's quite a simple story. | ||
| It's really just Donald Trump approved it. | ||
| They said they want to declare a state of emergency in D.C. | ||
| There's threats against the inauguration. | ||
| Trump says yes. | ||
| So, it'll be interesting to see what happens in the next nine days or so. | ||
| They're saying armed protests at capitals, armed protests in D.C., who knows what. | ||
| Is this Trump's first statement since that incident? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He released that Twitter statement. | ||
| But other than that, I mean, people are waiting and I've been... There's been some waiting. | ||
| some weird stuff going on. | ||
| I hear people like there's too many conspiracy theories. | ||
| You know, I hear Trump's gonna give a presentation and then he cancels it | ||
| and then the State Department thing pops up. | ||
| Do you guys see this? | ||
| No. | ||
| With the State Department claim that Trump's term had ended today or whatever | ||
| or is going to end today and Mike Pence's as well. | ||
| And now they're saying it's like a rogue employee. | ||
| I guess let's just, we'll just, we had this one planned for later, | ||
| but let's just, we'll jump straight to this one. | ||
| Check this out from Buzzfeed. | ||
| A disgruntled employee changed the State Department's website to say | ||
| that Trump's term ends today, sources say. | ||
| Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is launching an investigation after biographical pages for the President and Vice President were changed Monday. | ||
| I don't, I don't buy the story. | ||
| Everybody started sharing the state.gov biography of Trump, that it said Donald Trump's term ended and then the current date plus like a couple of hours. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It seemed like some kind of basic script to just say, you know, Donald Trump's term ended and then display time. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| So that no matter what happened, every time someone went to it, it would show them the current time based on like UTC time zone or something. | ||
| That's what it seemed like. | ||
| So I don't know exactly what happened, but they're saying it was a rogue employee, perhaps. | ||
| BuzzFeed says a disgruntled employee at the State Department changed the biographies of President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence to say their term was coming to an end on Monday, nine days before the President-elect Joe Biden is to be sworn in. | ||
| Two current serving diplomats with knowledge of the situation told BuzzFeed News. | ||
| The changes to the State Department's website come days after Trump incited a deadly insurrection. | ||
| Okay, we get it, BuzzFeed. | ||
| The President's biography was changed to read, Donald J. Trump's term ended on 2021-01-11-1949. | ||
| The Vice President said 1944-22. | ||
| The timestamp on Trump's page changed multiple times before both pages were removed around 3.50pm and replaced with a 4.04 reading. | ||
| We're sorry, this site is currently experiencing technical difficulties. | ||
| Please try again in a few moments. | ||
| One of the diplomats said that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has ordered an internal investigation into the matter, beginning with interns and employees leaving the State Department this week and next, ahead of the transition to the Biden administration. | ||
| So this is what it looked like. | ||
| Right here, it says Donald J. Trump's term ended, and the date, and then you can see for Pence, it was very, very similar. | ||
| You know my responses when I saw this? | ||
| Right to jail. | ||
| Believe it or not, straight to jail. | ||
| Whoever did this needs to get locked up. | ||
| No joke. | ||
| Charges. | ||
| We're at a time where we're extremely vulnerable, okay? | ||
| This country is going through serious turmoil. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi... I'm not here to play games. | ||
| I know that what I'm about to say is a strong statement, but Nancy Pelosi, according to the Joint Chiefs of Pentagon officials, asked them to stage a military coup. | ||
| And we can argue she didn't know what she was asking for, and that's fine, but it needs to be said. | ||
| Pelosi went to the Pentagon, to the Joint Chiefs, and said, Do not obey lawful orders from Trump in certain circumstances. | ||
| Incompetence is not a defense. | ||
| If she didn't know what she was doing, she was still doing it. | ||
| She's been in Congress for 50,000 years. | ||
| Of course she would know. | ||
| She was in, like, dinosaur Congress? | ||
| Yeah, so she went to the Pentagon and said, if Trump gives you orders to start a war or fire nukes or whatever, disobey them. | ||
| And they said that would amount to a military coup. | ||
| They cannot remove the president from the chain of command. | ||
| He is the commander-in-chief. | ||
| Why isn't that being said more of? | ||
| So anyway, look, the point is, considering the state we're in, with these kind of things happening, now would be the worst possible time for hackers to break in, to mess with our country, to start a war, or to come at us, and then some dumb intern or whatever's like, dude, I'm gonna make a joke about Trump resigning. | ||
| And now you get people panicking? | ||
| What if people, like, you've got people on edge. | ||
| We just had people storm the US Capitol. | ||
| This is not the time for jokes. | ||
| So that's why I don't know if I believe it. | ||
| Because a lot of people were worried this was a hack. | ||
| Some kind of hack that went in and they added this or whatever. | ||
| But either way, could you imagine what would happen if people around the country saw that message? | ||
| We no longer have a president. | ||
| No statement, no knowledge. | ||
| I remember when Twitter got hacked. | ||
| The Associated Press got hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army to put out a tweet from the AP saying that Obama has been injured, and we lost like $4 billion in stock value as soon as it happened. | ||
| And then as soon as they corrected it, it shot back up, but only a 90% recovery. | ||
| These kinds of things aren't jokes. | ||
| Whoever did this should get the book and the bookshelf thrown at them. | ||
| But they're probably an Obama holdover. | ||
| And in how many more days is Joe Biden? | ||
| They're probably going to get the Medal of Freedom. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, that's, you know, I mean, I know. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I mean, they they should be. | ||
| I don't think they should go to jail. | ||
| I think they should just be fired. | ||
| No, they should just be. | ||
| I don't know what happened. | ||
| Did anybody go into the Wayback Machine and see what this thing looks like? | ||
| Was that timestamp there and all they did was just add some HTML saying that his term is over right now? | ||
| At a certain point in the archives, there's nothing. | ||
| It wasn't there. | ||
| Someone placed it there, it seems like around the end of December, to have the current date or something. | ||
| For whatever reason, we don't know why the date was changing, but there are versions from December. | ||
| Whoever did this, in my opinion, broke into these systems. | ||
| No one was granted authorization to claim Trump was removed from office or resigned. | ||
| That's serious. | ||
| That's not shutting down his Twitter account. | ||
| That's telling everyone in this country the president's gone. | ||
| Well, it's only telling people that are going to that website. | ||
| State.gov? | ||
| Do I think they should be punished? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But what's the crime? | ||
| The State Department website? | ||
| Yeah, but what's the crime? | ||
| Well, the actual statutory crime is the violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, unauthorized access to a computer server. | ||
| For which I think the minimum is like 25 years. | ||
| Considering it was the State Department, that's serious. | ||
| I'm not okay with these people playing games right now, man. | ||
| We just had five, we have five people die. | ||
| Okay, we've got people freaking out in this country. | ||
| We've got dramatic escalation in every political arena. | ||
| Censorship is going through the roof, calls for the expulsion of Republicans, for some dumb employee to be like, I'm gonna make a joke. | ||
| My point is, Does anybody believe it? No. Believe that it was a rogue | ||
| employee? No, no. Does anybody believe that that, oh my God, I just saw this timestamp and oh, that | ||
| means the president. Yes, yes. | ||
| Nobody's believing it because Trump is still in office. So I. Where's Trump been? He's not | ||
| given a public statement. And you know what I was hearing? | ||
| Because look, listen, I follow as much as I can from all of these different tribes. I | ||
| follow the mainstream media leftists and the Democrats and Republicans. And I listened to what | ||
| the lefty, you know, conspiracy people and the right wing are. | ||
| There are left-wing people I saw posting on Facebook saying Trump was supposed to give a speech and then this website pops up announcing he's resigned and now his speech was cancelled. | ||
| They believed it. | ||
| They did. | ||
| Look, man, regular people that, look, imagine that little old lady in the Capitol. | ||
| You saw that picture of the granny waving the little flag? | ||
| That lady has no idea what's going on. | ||
| I'm not trying to be mean, but come on. | ||
| She was confused and bewildered. | ||
| Like Joe Biden. | ||
| And she sees on the website, Trump is no longer president. | ||
| She's going to believe that. | ||
| And look, it's not even about whether or not people believe it for the most part. | ||
| It's about the fact that somebody, because they were an angry Trump derangement syndrome moron, broke into a system exposing a vulnerability in our state department. | ||
| Like dude, we're on edge so much. | ||
| We can't, we can't, we can't do this man. | ||
| Well, I'm not saying that... Look, I'm trying to be objective here. | ||
| This person should be punished? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Do I think that the people that had nothing to do with the murder be charged with felony murder? | ||
| No. | ||
| So I'm trying to lower the temperature. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I'm not saying give them 25 years, but I'm saying they should be given some kind of charge. | ||
| It's got to be, you can't go into government systems and do this. | ||
| And that's fine. | ||
| I don't think that they should go to jail for 25 years though. | ||
| That's just kind of ridiculous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| Right. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Joe Biden will pardon him anyway. | ||
| Can you imagine Joe Biden being like, this patriot who tried to remove Donald Trump to build back better. | ||
| We're going to pardon him. | ||
| First thing. | ||
| I don't know who it is. | ||
| If it was one person, I mean, you need to get pull some out and be like, this is the | ||
| guy that did it. | ||
| And we don't know if that's right either. | ||
| So I'm going to say that this person who did it probably put it out there to say, you know, | ||
| like, Hey, look, there's this thing. | ||
| Look at, look at this is crazy. | ||
| You know, if, you know, I saw a tweet, I think it was from Redhead Libertarian. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure. | ||
| So if I'm miscrediting you, but it was like that point when you realize our systems are made of, are cobbled together with sticks and stones. | ||
| Oh, that was you. | ||
| I said that our systems are pretty much held together with toothpicks and cobwebs, like balsa wood and cotton candy. | ||
| Cause it's nothing one person can do. | ||
| This is insanity. | ||
| I didn't know you were the redhead libertarian. | ||
| Apparently I am. | ||
| But think about what they've exposed with this stupid joke that some dumb rogue employee at the State Department could break the whole thing. | ||
| Think about what that means. | ||
| I wonder what else up there is fake right now. | ||
| But it's everything. | ||
| I mean, look at all these holdovers from the previous eight years. | ||
| All the leaks. | ||
| Where do you think those leaks came from? | ||
| Not Republicans! | ||
| You know what's funny? | ||
| I'm going to miscredit whoever said this. | ||
| I'm not going to credit anybody. | ||
| It was me. | ||
| They said the one thing Trump was famous for he didn't do. | ||
| Fire people. | ||
| He should have just fired people and he didn't do it. | ||
| He didn't fire the right people. | ||
| He hired and fired a lot of people. | ||
| It's very hard to fire government employees. | ||
| We know this. | ||
| Trump made it easier. | ||
| It's one thing to hire and fire Jim Mattis. | ||
| It's another thing to fire some low-level... Look at what Andrew struck! | ||
| You know, I mean... Peter Strzok? | ||
| Peter Strzok, sorry. | ||
| Andrew Strzok. | ||
| Andrew McCabe. | ||
| You? | ||
| Andrew McCabe, yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| I had a long train ride, guys. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| But, you know, even... It was hard to get rid of them, too. | ||
| I mean, there was pushback there. | ||
| Right, of course. | ||
| And they actually did something. | ||
| Which I'm not saying that this State Department guy didn't do something. | ||
| I just think, you know, this person's anti-Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Like half the government. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You go off of the previous discussion we had, you know, we're talking about arresting people for murder, whatever. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if prosecutors are like, we're gonna bury them in books, like, it's gonna be an example tenfold. | ||
| And then with this, they're like, well, it was just a harmless joke. | ||
| It was a prank, bro. | ||
| And we all hate Trump, right? | ||
| Because the orange man is bad, so. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| Yeah, I don't see... Can we go back to the inauguration for a second? | ||
| I think Secret Service probably has everything covered as far as safety. | ||
| And these things happen once every four years, like clockwork. | ||
| So I think they kind of have everything that they need to do. | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| But honestly, I do not understand why this inauguration is even taking place. | ||
| I mean, fine, yes, the ceremony of him being sworn in, that has to happen, but having 1,600 people... | ||
| In order to do it, what's gonna happen is, once you arrive for the inauguration, if you're one of the attendees, you wait in line. | ||
| I didn't like that stuff. | ||
| There's going to be plexiglass between all of them and they're going to stand six feet | ||
| away from them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, give me a break. | |
| Well, so what I heard is that... | ||
| He's going to put his hand on the sanitizer instead of the Bible. | ||
| No, no, no, this is serious. | ||
| In order to do it, what's going to happen is once you arrive for the inauguration, if | ||
| you're one of the attendees, you wait in line, they have you six feet apart, and then they | ||
| have these eight foot by three by three by eight cubes, or not cubes, but big chambers. | ||
| They lock you and made a plexiglass and they bolt the padlock it and they put you on a forklift and just carry you in and put you down. | ||
| You can't leave. | ||
| You're trapped inside and you're banging and it's airtight and there's no sound. | ||
| But then Joe Biden's safe. | ||
| So. | ||
| Great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, you're like, no, it's like you got everyone's going to die because you had me halfway. | |
| No, look, I think it's so hypocritical for him to be holding this thing. | ||
| And there's also going to be onlookers, too. | ||
| It's a celebration, just like his win on election night. | ||
| Look, the guy's been wanting to be president since the 80s. | ||
| So this is his moment, right? | ||
| Nothing, not even COVID, is going to stop this dude's moment. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| He's not going to remember it, though. | ||
| And you know what we're going to hear in the evening? | ||
| I guarantee it. | ||
| Biden's inauguration was bigger than Trump's inauguration. | ||
| Crowd. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| What they're going to do is they're going to say that based on online | ||
| numbers, they're going to make the streaming for this makes it the biggest | ||
| inauguration in history, even though when Trump was getting inaugurated, | ||
| they discounted the live stream views and said that it was smaller than | ||
| Obama's right. | ||
| And then Trump was like, but look at the live stream, you know, the | ||
| ratings were huge. | ||
| Well, the way that shot, well, I mean, look, I've been, I've been a big | ||
| critic of Sean Spicer and the way he came out and and presented. | ||
| It was just the dumbest way possible. | ||
| Just set the tone for the entire four years by coming out. | ||
| First thing you do is yell at all the reporters. | ||
| I want to sing a line from Alanis Morissette's Ironic about the old man, but I don't want to say it because it has to do with the president. | ||
| But I think you understand the joke, you know, an old man turning eight, he won the presidency. | ||
| Oh yeah, that's too bad. | ||
| But I'll leave it at that. | ||
| For those that are familiar with the song, I guess, you know. | ||
| I'm really curious how they're going to be doing the inauguration, because again, we see Joe Biden as the kind of plexiglass, social distancing, always wear a mask, hundred days of masks are coming presidency. | ||
| How are they going to do it with everyone standing together behind him? | ||
| How are they going to do it with that crowd? | ||
| I think, I mean, if they do it, he's a gigantic hypocrite. | ||
| And he needs to be called out on it, but they will not be called out on it. | ||
| And that's what kills me. | ||
| This double standard. | ||
| Well, one thing already, they have a crap ton of National Guard. | ||
| They have a crap ton of troops coming together, mingling together. | ||
| And again, this is also something that has affected small businesses tremendously on such a severe level. | ||
| So for them to pull this off, it's really going to be something. | ||
| And second of all, It's also interesting to see New York Governor Andrew Cuomo tweet today that we need to open up businesses. | ||
| So maybe when the Biden administration comes in, maybe there's going to be another kind of flip of policies where COVID is going to be magically over. | ||
| Like Trump said. | ||
| Well, we've always been saying that. | ||
| And it's been a joke. | ||
| But then Joe Biden keeps saying it's going to be What if at the inauguration, Biden comes out, and he's got his arm around two young dudes wearing Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses, and he's kind of slumped over, and he's wearing sunglasses and a hat, and they bring him up, and his arm's flopping, and he flops onto the Bible. | ||
| I think there was a movie about that. | ||
| Well, there was there was also a great political ad for it too, did you see that? | ||
| It was great. | ||
| Yeah, it was awesome. | ||
| This is what we have to try and win, and he wins. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Yeah, it's good fun. | ||
| I hope it goes off like normal, man. | ||
| You know, whatever it is, if they're hypocrites, I wouldn't be surprised. | ||
| It should be cancelled. | ||
| Well, they are hypocrites. | ||
| This is another thing. | ||
| It should be the first Zoom inauguration. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| And instead they're going to have 16, the stand holds 1600 people. | ||
| They're all going to be wearing masks outside. | ||
| And you're like, well, why could you do it there? | ||
| But you couldn't do it in other things. | ||
| Like why were, why were they considered super spreaders? | ||
| And this isn't right. | ||
| And then with the crowd and with, with, because you think, you think the people are going to go, yeah, I'm just going to stay home. | ||
| Like, no, people are going to come out. | ||
| And I think partially because they want to say, We need to make this bigger than trust. | ||
| They're going to take out their champagne bottles. | ||
| They're going to be swinging it, passing it around to the next person. | ||
| And they are hypocrites. | ||
| So I think you might be right. | ||
| Because again, we have to understand here, especially on the topic of small business, the same people who are arguing that you need to shut down small business to defeat COVID are the ones who are screaming right now that businesses could do whatever they want. | ||
| They could censor whoever they want because they're big private corporate entities that should be left alone. | ||
| Magically, again, a major shift in policy that no one's calling out or addressing. | ||
| Well, so, you know, considering these double standards, I want to talk about this video that's going viral. | ||
| We have this story from the Daily Mail. | ||
| Quote, they called me an effing terrorist. | ||
| Moment, burly pro-Trump protester sobs at DC airport after finding out he's been put on a no-fly list. | ||
| I want to play this video first. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure that's true, that he's on a no-fly list, but let's play so you can hear. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They kicked me off the plane! | |
| They called me a f***ing terrorist! | ||
| And they want to f***ing ruin my life! | ||
| Sir, please calm down. | ||
| I was just going to talk to the Delta. | ||
| So this is just a video, right? | ||
| There's a guy walking away. | ||
| You heard what he said, basically that quote, they're calling me an effing terrorist. | ||
| I heard that it might actually be that he wouldn't wear a mask, and people are assuming it has something to do with what happened at the Capitol, and that he's angry they're calling me a terrorist because he's not wearing a mask. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Maybe, but we know that Alaska Airlines did put 14 people on the no-fly list, and there's been some discussion around this. | ||
| But man, when I saw that video, this is a middle-aged guy. | ||
| He's burly. | ||
| He's not some, like, dinky little, you know, scrawny individual, whiny little soy boy, or whatever you want to call it. | ||
| He is a whiny, big Trump supporter. | ||
| And so I wonder, when you see this defeat, this desperation, this exasperation, that's, uh... | ||
| I'm actually kind of worried about hearing that kind of emotion coming from people because, you know, I was thinking about just what they teach you in terms of cornering a scared animal, right? | ||
| Might be a rabbit, but you back into a corner, that thing will attack you, you know? | ||
| So you get a bunch of Trump supporters, you put them on no-fly lists, you beat them down, they've been defeated, and now what happens? | ||
| They go after him with the full weight, full force of the government, threatening, you know, oh, maybe there'll be felony murder charges for anybody who was there next. | ||
| Maybe now, if you're a musician, we're going to kick you off your label simply for listening to Trump speak and then going home. | ||
| Maybe we'll cancel your book deals. | ||
| We'll kick you out of Congress. | ||
| They are beating down these people so hard, you're going to get a bunch of desperate, angry, and just exhausted individuals who just don't care anymore. | ||
| And that's when it gets scary. | ||
| When you look at the history of the no-fly list, it came after yet another emergency that the government milked. | ||
| That, of course, was 9-11. | ||
| And that system was used and abused where people with the same names, babies, people who had nothing to do with anyone or anything, were literally told that they couldn't fly. | ||
| And their way of having any regress or any way to have any accountability or get the name off of this no-flight list was virtually impossible. | ||
| This happened for many years, so seeing this now implemented politically, I mean, if you're gonna charge someone, charge someone. | ||
| What's the purpose of banning them from flying home or being home or even just transporting or going from place A to B? | ||
| What's the point? | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| We need more information. | ||
| If they did something wrong, charge them. | ||
| Let's get this over with. | ||
| Stop messing with them and toying with them and trying to also and I think another reason they're doing this and we're seeing a lot of videos of people being arrested at airports is to set a chilling effect is to scare people is to make people think well maybe if I'm a Trump supporter this is going to happen to me as well and that's that's something that should be immediately called out because just like the no-fly list was used and abused after 9-11 with Muslims and other innocent people it's being it's going to be used and abused And this is the double standard. | ||
| I have two points to make. | ||
| The first point is you have Governor Ralph Northam. | ||
| And yet again, government's going to be exploiting another tragedy, another emergency for powers | ||
| that they will never give back. | ||
| And this is the double standard. | ||
| I have two points to make. | ||
| The first point is you have Governor Ralph Northam. | ||
| You have Byrd, what is his, you know, the former KKK guy, right? | ||
| Robert Bird. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| Those guys, those people are allowed to redeem themselves. | ||
| Those people are allowed to change their thinking on all these things, right? | ||
| They're allowed to be redeemed because they have a D next to their name, all right? | ||
| But when you have a man who I again, context is everything here. | ||
| We don't know if it had to do with a mask or whatever. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But if you're if you're just a normal person who likes Trump, has a Trump hat, and then somebody says suddenly, oh, you're you're a bad person. | ||
| We're going to fire you from your job. | ||
| We're going to delete your your Facebook account. | ||
| We're going to get you fired. | ||
| We're going to put you on no fly list. | ||
| Now let's say that that person is a racist, right? | ||
| And all those things happen. | ||
| Does them getting fired and getting basically cancelled make them less racist or more racist? | ||
| Do you think they're going to become more racist? | ||
| They're going to become more angry, right? | ||
| And the same thing with this poor Trump supporter. | ||
| I mean, just hearing that audio and not knowing the whole context, It's heartbreaking. | ||
| That man is in pain. | ||
| And we don't know why. | ||
| And if it's something stupid like Ariel Pink, the musician, who just went to a Trump rally. | ||
| He likes Trump! | ||
| There's things you're allowed to like Trump for. | ||
| Well, not anymore, because if you do, you're labeled all these things. | ||
| The Abraham Accords. | ||
| Completely racist. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| He did some great things. | ||
| You know, when you talk about the opportunity zones, those are good things, right? | ||
| But then, you know, you can say, look, It's like Ben Shapiro says, there's good Trump and there's bad Trump. | ||
| When Trump does good things, we praise him for it. | ||
| When he does bad things, we go after him for it. | ||
| And I agree 100% and we should do that to Biden. | ||
| But just going after people and just trying to completely ruin their lives just because they like a guy who's absolutely flawed is incredibly scary. | ||
| Think about where we go in the next several years. | ||
| And this is what I think Republicans are too stupid to realize. | ||
| Mitch McConnell, talk about dumb. | ||
| What do you think's going to happen in 2024 when any Republican tries running? | ||
| Any one of them. | ||
| No matter who it is, they're going to scream Nazi. | ||
| And they're going to say it's Trump 2.0. | ||
| No matter what. | ||
| They called Bush a Nazi. | ||
| I remember seeing the protest signs. | ||
| Isn't it true that they've equated every Republican candidate going back like 40, 50 years? | ||
| He's been called a Nazi or a fascist? | ||
| Oh yeah, they called George Bush a Nazi. | ||
| They called Ronald Reagan a Nazi. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Ronald Reagan, a Nazi. | ||
| So, you know, spare me your indignation, Democrats, because it's all the game. | ||
| Well, you look at how bad things are now. | ||
| Come 2024, the Republican candidate is not going to stand a chance. | ||
| They're going to be completely obliterated. | ||
| It'll be it'll be Trump. | ||
| The fake news and hoaxes about Trump tenfold. | ||
| It depends. | ||
| Well, it depends. | ||
| Well, it depends. I mean, we're only looking. I'm sorry. We're only looking at we're we're we're looking at it from like | ||
| one angle, which is Biden's popular now Biden won. | ||
| And then whoever runs in 2024, you know, is going to be running against him. | ||
| Maybe not. | ||
| Because first of all, do you think that Joe Biden is going to be campaigning for a second term? | ||
| He didn't campaign this time around. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But he's not going to have an excuse unless there's another global pandemic. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And if he steps down, anybody could beat Harris. | ||
| Tim could be here. | ||
| Well, Tim's definitely a smarter guy than, you know, and better, you know, a better skater. | ||
| I more agree with Tim mainly because when you control the institutions of information, mainstream media, social media, you pretty much control what people can and cannot hear. | ||
| That's unlimited power that essentially sets them in a position that can't be challenged. | ||
| You don't think that people How will they see what's happening now when the mainstream media is advocating for all forms of competition to be removed, when big tech companies are removing these videos, people who had photos from the Capitol, not even, like, from DC, not even the Capitol, | ||
| are having those photos removed. | ||
| Memes making fun of this year are being removed. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| OK, but Pelosi tried banning memes. | ||
| Did you hear this? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That was a lie. | ||
| But as far as policy goes, you're going to have all these states that are going to be, their citizens are going to be freaking out about Second Amendment rights. | ||
| Because when Kamala was running, First, she said she was going to do an executive order about guns, and Joe Biden was like, no, you can't do that. | ||
| Then she said, well, I want Congress to bring up legislation in the first 100 days, and if they don't, then I'm going to do this. | ||
| So with Congress in Democratic control, Now you can see these things happen. | ||
| You can see you can see a push. | ||
| There's a push forward for getting rid of the Electoral College. | ||
| There's a push for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. | ||
| to become a state. | ||
| I don't know about Guam, but I mean, they might as well. | ||
| Two more senators. | ||
| Let's have six senators. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So all these things are going to happen and people are going to be like whether or not they can That is the term. | ||
| or parlay about it. I don't know if that's the term. Is it really? | ||
| They can parlay about it, but people are, people are going to be upset and | ||
| you're going to be mobilized and 2022. Remember this Warnock, Raphael Warnock, | ||
| the superhero sounding, uh, yes. He. | ||
| Do you know when his term is up? | ||
| 2022. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because it's a special election. | ||
| He doesn't get a full term because he's finishing out Johnny Isaacson's term. | ||
| So maybe Georgia will get it together in two years, right? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| People didn't turn out. | ||
| It was a turnout problem. | ||
| As Michael Tracy said, the left liberal monoculture is merging with the state. | ||
| So when you look at the suppression from Big Tech, let's, let's, let's, before, yeah, when you look at the suppression from the Democrats calling and advocating for the expulsion of Republicans, like, I don't, I don't see how we come back to this point when, after they've already had control of everything. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, part of the reason they lost in Georgia was Stacey Abrams getting this consent decree from the governor. | ||
| A Democrat filed a suit, they had a consent decree, it changed the rules without the state legislature, and other rules are changed. | ||
| And it heavily favors Democrats. | ||
| And again, turnout did affect Republicans, but do you think Republicans are going to | ||
| get more organized as the tools for organization are stripped away? | ||
| Well, we didn't have... I think that maybe people are going to be turning to alternate ways to | ||
| mobilize and communicate. Pigeons? | ||
| By email. No, by email. Just people are... | ||
| They banned Trump's email list. | ||
| Well, okay, that's fine, but... | ||
| Smoke signals? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can't... | |
| No, listen. | ||
| You can't you can't do it to everybody right? | ||
| They can. | ||
| If you put together an email list, they'll just see. | ||
| Google will be like, this person's doing an email list. | ||
| He's a fascist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gotta ban him. | |
| You could export your emails and actually have a physical copy of them and move them to another server that might take it down. | ||
| But another thing that I think personally will happen, I think things will spiral out of control and this kind of cycle of violence is going to continue. | ||
| I don't want it to, but I believe that's going to happen because all the ingredients that created this situation, they're being added instead of subtracted from the cycle and it's only going to get worse and it's only going to keep spiraling out of control and I don't want it to happen. | ||
| I've been warning people, you've been warning people, And all the signs are on the wall that this is going to lead to a crazier... I mean, with the no-fly list, what is that going to achieve other than a chilling effect, other than scaring people and creating more people on the fringe? | ||
| Now, this started just... Let's talk about the merits here, because this was talked about by a flight attendant unit, but now it's being taken up by House Democrats that are talking with Homeland Security in special committee meetings And according to some people, this has already been instituted. | ||
| We're seeing a lot of people being arrested. | ||
| We're seeing a lot of people crying. | ||
| We're going to see a lot of people who were milling around, didn't do anything bad, caught up in it, punished, and then essentially even radicalized even more. | ||
| I don't want that to happen. | ||
| There are some bad actors they do deserve to be dealt with, but when you're dealing with average people, when you're setting up a chilling effect, When you're censoring people and stopping them from having speech, you're not showing you have the moral high ground. | ||
| Because when you have the moral high ground, when you have something that you think you're better or good at, you let that speak for itself. | ||
| You don't need to squash any kind of dissenting voices against that. | ||
| With that kind of authoritarianism, with that kind of unlimited, unchecked power, we are truly entering a time where they're not going to be checked. | ||
| And they're gonna use that power for their political enemies. | ||
| I have to stop you, okay? | ||
| I have to tell you that these people were monsters. | ||
| And this next image you're gonna see, this person needs to be placed on the no-fly list. | ||
| Look at this shocking image. | ||
| Of a little old lady, smiling, bewildered. | ||
| She's holding a little thermos, and she's holding a little American flag. | ||
| I'm sorry man, I'm not trying to be mean to her, but she clearly has no idea what's going on. | ||
| And then they're like, it was an insurrection! | ||
| I mean, there was a group of people that were bashing cops, and by all means, charge them. | ||
| And there were some doting old women who were confused and the cops opened the doors and they're like waving little flags as they walk in. | ||
| I think it depends on where, you know, if you were breaking windows and going in that way, yeah, you're probably going to be met with some kind of force. | ||
| But if you're like grandma's like, oh, here, let me hold the door open for you, miss. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The cops opened the door. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And there were people taking selfies. | ||
| I love on Twitter the indignation like, they were taking selfies! | ||
| That cop got suspended, the cop who took the selfie. | ||
| What was his crime? | ||
| If there was like one side of the building where it's like, that building's supposed to be open, right? | ||
| I don't know about the Capitol building, the chambers. | ||
| No, they had layers of security that day making sure people couldn't walk in. | ||
| Right, but maybe not the house floor, but there were definitely some mixed There was definitely some miscommunication. | ||
| Because some people were opening doors, others were trying to hold them shut. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, there's... Well, this is where it gets scary. | |
| Are they gonna take... So, you have a video where the doors are opened, and the cops are just standing there, and one of the cops says something to the effect of, disagree with it, but agree with your right to protest. | ||
| I don't know if he says, you can disagree with it, but I agree with your right to protest, or I disagree with it. | ||
| I'm not sure exactly what he says. | ||
| There's been different quotes from different people. | ||
| But there are a bunch of people just walking, you know, slowly and like little flags. | ||
| And then the cops are just standing there and they're like nodding. | ||
| Walking within the ropes. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Staying within the ropes as they walk through. | ||
| And then there were some people that smashed that bookcase with like that famous literature that was on it. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| I'm sure. | ||
| I'm so sure that there was like women's historical literature on that one bookcase. | ||
| I don't buy it. | ||
| I think that got knocked over because they broke the window to get in. | ||
| And then they boarded up the window and it probably knocked it over. | ||
| But, you know, to get into those buildings, though, you do need to go through security. | ||
| You do need to, uh, you know, I went a year and a half ago and, you know, it's not like the toughest security ever, but they, you know, they wand you and they check your bags and stuff. | ||
| They clearly were not doing that. | ||
| I'm sure you saw what AOC said about it. | ||
| Something like, we're seconds away from half of Congress being assassinated by this lady. | ||
| Pull it up again. | ||
| She was coming for AOC. | ||
| The American flag was actually an assassin's blade. | ||
| I'm scared. | ||
| And her little thermos was actually a spy device for releasing toxic chemicals. | ||
| There was a bomb in it. | ||
| True story. | ||
| There were bombs, man. | ||
| Let's be real. | ||
| It was dangerous stuff going on. | ||
| But who knows where those bombs came from? | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's a video of some dude dropping them. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Or like walking up. | ||
| Well, AOC saying that Trump said to storm the house floor. | ||
| She said that. | ||
| She said Trump said to storm the house floor. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, or, or, you know, I'm paraphrasing, but she said that Trump said to storm, you know, to go inside and go on the house floor. | ||
| He never said that. | ||
| No, he said, let's go to the Capitol and cheer for politicians. | ||
| And not cheer for others or something like that. | ||
| No, he wanted the process to play out. | ||
| He wanted his hearing, finally. | ||
| And the Trump supporters went and shut that down. | ||
| I love the- Yeah, thanks guys. | ||
| You had the live streamers like, Trump's going to be happy with us. | ||
| Oh, he's going to be happy that you disrupted the one time, finally! | ||
| On CNN, they would air complaints and evidence and wow. | ||
| It was the one thing that we had and you ruined it. | ||
| It was the one thing. | ||
| That's all we had left. | ||
| And you guys, and you guys screwed up. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| This is why I said, this is why I said the last time I was here that these protests, yes, I said that protests don't do anything. | ||
| I was wrong. | ||
| Protests only have a negative effect to the people that are protesting. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I actually had people go, oh no, the protestors. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It just set the tone for the next four years. | ||
| Trump terrorists, Trumpism, everything they needed, everything they've been begging for. | ||
| They've been sitting in their room, lying awake at night under their covers, their flashlight, wishing just something would happen so they could prove everything they said was true. | ||
| We've been expecting this for the last four years, including Mayor Bowser. | ||
| Remember that Time magazine cover of all the angry Trump supporters yelling and it was like, what happens if Trump loses? | ||
| They gave them everything they've been asking for. | ||
| For four years, Trump supporters weren't rioting. | ||
| They weren't smashing windows and screaming and setting fires. | ||
| And they kept saying Trump supporters are dangerous and white supremacy and the far right and all this. | ||
| And then finally just before Trump leaves they had to make sure they left the administration with they left the | ||
| incoming administration that one day | ||
| To make all of those past four years come true It was it was almost like they're you know, it was almost | ||
| like they were saying You know, maybe maybe blm had a point | ||
| With their, yeah. | ||
| And now, let's just, why don't we kind of co-op some of their methods and ideas? | ||
| Maybe that could help us. | ||
| Louie Gohmert said this. | ||
| When his lawsuit was kicked out, he said, and the message is, you have to be as violent as Black Lives Matter or Antifa. | ||
| Now the funny thing about that is that all of a sudden I saw these lefties, these journalists, being like, oh no, he's inciting violence! | ||
| And I'm like, but I thought those were peaceful protests. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And of course, there's all the articles, the side-by-side articles, like back from the summer. | ||
| It's like, you know, violence does have its place. | ||
| And then they're like, you know, now in 2021, it's like, Violence is never the answer! | ||
| Have you guys seen the most recent Ryan Long skit? | ||
| There was so much incitement this year, we have to admit it. | ||
| I mean there was even a compilation video of all the news organizations, of all the kind of left-wing thought thinkers being like, yes we have to excuse it, The ends justify the means and we were calling it out and it needs to be called out whether it's from the left or from the right, it doesn't matter. | ||
| Whenever you invoke violence politically, everyone loses. | ||
| We're all losing right now and we're gonna lose a lot more unless people heed the warnings that we're sending out there and other people are sending out there because again, one thing we need to also understand here on this larger point, it's only going to get worse from here. | ||
| I don't want it to. | ||
| We have to do everything in our power to try to prevent it and we're in for a hell. | ||
| of a 2021. | ||
| Let's talk about probably one of the craziest, maybe stupidest things the left faction, the billionaires could have done. | ||
| Nominate Joe Biden? | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| I mean, it seems to work out for him so far, but we'll see how it plays out. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| Parler is suing Amazon for suspending app from cloud service, claims antitrust violation and breach of contract. | ||
| Parler is seeking temporary relief after being blackballed by Amazon Web Services. | ||
| A lot of people... Actually, let me slow down. | ||
| If you're not familiar, Parler is very much like Twitter. | ||
| Micro-blogging platform where you get followers, you can make posts. | ||
| And it was fast-growing. | ||
| Probably the fastest. | ||
| It was the number one app on iTunes. | ||
| It was removed by Apple and Google. | ||
| It was then banned by Amazon Web Services. | ||
| The interesting thing, a lot of people said, why would Parler use Amazon Web Services? | ||
| That's such a dumb thing to do, because of course they'll ban you. | ||
| You need to find your own servers or web hosting. | ||
| Gab, which is also a micro-blogging platform, created their own hosting system and they're building their own infrastructure. | ||
| So why would Parler use Amazon? | ||
| In fact, I think it was the smartest thing they could have done. | ||
| Because they had a contract with Amazon that if they're gonna be terminated, they get 30 days, which is enough time for them to solve their problems and move to a new provider. | ||
| But what happens now is Twitter was also using Amazon. | ||
| So what do we get? | ||
| In this lawsuit, it's fascinating. | ||
| Parler says recently Amazon signed a multi-year hosting deal with Twitter. | ||
| Parler is fast becoming the number one competition for Twitter. | ||
| Amazon bans Parler. | ||
| So there's clearly a conflict of interest and a benefit for Amazon's large, massive, and valuable multi-year contract partner. | ||
| But here's what they say. | ||
| They claimed Parler wasn't enforcing their rules. | ||
| More specifically, they said, we don't believe they will enforce their rules. | ||
| There was, I think, something like 60, I could be wrong, there was a small handful of posts that were inciting violence. | ||
| Parler said, in the suit, we remove them all immediately because they violate our rules. | ||
| We do not allow incitement to violence, it is illegal. | ||
| At the same time, when Amazon gave them 24 or so hours to move their entire platform, violating, breaching the contract they had with them, Hang Mike Pence was trending on Twitter, and Twitter did nothing. | ||
| And Amazon said nothing. | ||
| No public statement, no threats to Twitter, nothing. | ||
| We're also hearing that, you know, they're trying to claim that these people at the Capitol were organizing on Parler. | ||
| Glenn Greenwald said that's not true. | ||
| They organized on Facebook. | ||
| Where was anyone going after Facebook? | ||
| At this point, it should be obvious to everybody what's going on. | ||
| We've seen it before with Patreon. | ||
| This is really fascinating. | ||
| When Patreon banned a bunch of people, they all flocked to Subscribestar, which was a competitor to Patreon. | ||
| So what happened? | ||
| Payment processing companies, I think like PayPal and Stripe, immediately severed services to Subscribestar. | ||
| Which shows what they're really trying to do is to protect their monopolistic power in Silicon Valley. | ||
| There's no reason to ban Parler. | ||
| It was a lie. | ||
| It has nothing to do with threats. | ||
| They just grab a few screenshots and they post them. | ||
| But I tell you what, I can go on Twitter right now and probably find 10,000 death threats and violence. | ||
| And I'll add one more to the layer. | ||
| While this is going on, I have personally filed several complaints to Twitter over, let's just call it, extremely abusive content directed at me, and they have not removed it. | ||
| Can I now demand that Amazon ban Twitter? | ||
| Because I have been trying to get stuff taken down that directly threatens me, and I'm going to leave out specific details as to what these posts are, but they are some of the... It's bordering... I don't want to say too much. | ||
| I don't want to reveal too much about what's going on and why I'm having to report people. | ||
| But it's serious. | ||
| It's very serious threats. | ||
| Twitter won't take them down. At least with Parler there was, you know, to sign up for a Twitter | ||
| account you just, you know, have a fake email. With Parler I think you needed to, you know, | ||
| have your phone number and... It was KYC. Yeah. It's almost easier to track down somebody like... | ||
| I'm pretty sure that if the DOJ came up to Parler and said, look, this person is involved in terrorism, that they would go, here, here's all the information we have. | ||
| Well, they said they were cooperating with law enforcement. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So to to completely shut it down and move those bad conversations to, you know, to basically the depths of the Internet, at least on Parler, you could you could see it wide open. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So this is you think that you think the DOJ is going to go after Amazon for antitrust over this? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Hell no, right? | ||
| Twitter harbors far leftists who to this day have organized and called directly for violence. | ||
| No issues. | ||
| None. | ||
| Well, Tim, you know, if you don't like what Amazon or Google is doing, you should just build your own CIA-connected monopoly multinational corporation. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Why didn't I think of that? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's that simple. | |
| It's that simple. | ||
| I mean, we'll call it off. | ||
| Lydia, you want to get on it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm in on it. | |
| Let's do it. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| No, but we've got to make some points here. | ||
| I mean, when we look at, you know, the history of something like Twitter and Facebook, there's a long history of people publishing information that hurt other individuals. | ||
| So there's a long history of people inciting violence, whether it's the Arab Spring or jihadis or even the Christchurch town shooting. | ||
| That was a live stream. | ||
| There was a massacre live streamed by a tech company that allowed the video to go everywhere. | ||
| So when we're talking about let's hold these companies responsible for what they're doing, that points back right at Facebook, that points back right at Twitter, but it essentially points back that no, no, we can't set up this kind of precedent where people are responsible because of what people do on communication lines. | ||
| It's like the same as charging AT&T because some jihadi used their phone or used their company to talk to another jihadi. | ||
| That makes absolutely no sense at all. | ||
| What if you left someone a voicemail threatening them? | ||
| Could you go after the company for not deleting that voicemail? | ||
| No, but also remember maybe in the last two years there was a group of current and former Border Patrol agents who had a Facebook group and they were all sharing memes and stuff and I think ProPublica came out and showed Three, all of three examples out of tens of thousands of posts where they were attacking AOC. | ||
| And they were vile, and they were bad, and that's fine, but you can't then lump everybody in. | ||
| But you didn't go, well, Facebook was sharing that, so let's penalize Facebook. | ||
| Uh, what, you know, they went after the group, they went after some of the people in it, and I think some people probably got fired. | ||
| But it's the same thing on Parler. | ||
| You can't go after an entire platform just because there are a couple, you know, bad apples, right? | ||
| And they were, they were removing them. | ||
| It's the same excuse they do with Gab. | ||
| They're like, but they weren't really enforcing their rules. | ||
| Did you go on there to make sure? | ||
| No. | ||
| Well, they said they were enforcing their rules. | ||
| But ProPublica said. | ||
| But we found three people, you know. | ||
| It happens every single time. | ||
| Build your own. | ||
| I love it, because now we're at the point where it's like, every single vendor, start your own legal firm! | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They lost their lawyers. | ||
| Because the, as Michael Tracy said, the left liberal monoculture merging with the state. | ||
| They have too much power. | ||
| They control our lines of communication. | ||
| They're controlling our commerce. | ||
| You can't buy or trade if they ban you from online payment processing. | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| I guess Bitcoin. | ||
| And this is where, okay, if you know Amazon's history, you'll probably know that Amazon for years didn't make a profit. | ||
| They didn't make a profit. | ||
| They also weren't paying a lot in federal taxes either. | ||
| But that's totally legal. | ||
| They were playing the long game. | ||
| They were building their infrastructure. | ||
| They were building warehouses all over the place. | ||
| They were building these cloud services. | ||
| Anytime Netflix It's Amazon's fault. | ||
| It's not Netflix. | ||
| It's because they're having issues with their cloud services. | ||
| It's all Amazon's fault. | ||
| But yeah, it's about being a gorilla. | ||
| Yeah, well, we have to understand that this censorship is absolutely selective. | ||
| There's despots, there's dictators that are still allowed to use Twitter, but President | ||
| Donald Trump can't. | ||
| And again, we have to also underscore that there's a lot of international backlash. | ||
| When we look at the market caps of Facebook and Twitter, they've been hit. | ||
| But there also have been some leaders, some presidents coming out and speaking out against | ||
| this, including I'm really shocked by this. | ||
| Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, came out and she spoke out about how problematic it is for tech companies to have so much power that they're able to eliminate a president from even having a voice. | ||
| So did the Mexican president as well. | ||
| Look, you're wrong. | ||
| You're wrong. | ||
| No, no, no, you're wrong. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Angela Merkel. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| The Mexican president also released some very surprising statements. | ||
| Angela Merkel. | ||
| That's how you pronounce her name. | ||
| That's the only thing you were wrong about. | ||
| Okay, it doesn't matter. | ||
| Angela, Angola, who gives a damn? | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| I'm gonna keep butchering it. | ||
| Kamala, Kamala, you know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's call the whole thing off. | |
| The statements by the Mexican president We're really surprising because he went even further than | ||
| that attacking these tech companies as these arbitrators of truth and and lambasting them for such a | ||
| move which the Mexican president is against Angela Merkel is against the majority of | ||
| People are against because if you are the morally superior voice, you don't need to silence other voices | ||
| You would debate you would argue you would have a conversation with people and it would prove your points | ||
| It would be out there in the open. You wouldn't need to use the tools of totalitarianism in order to just squash any | ||
| Ability for for words to hit other people's ears. That's just insane Luke. You're wrong. Okay, go ahead Angela | ||
|
unidentified
|
Merkel But you get my but you're right about everything else | |
| Well, I didn't realize I didn't realize that the Mexican president was so based | ||
| He is well the Mexican president is very surprising with his latest actions. He wants to grant Julian's Assange | ||
| asylum He is calling out the lockdown. So it's he's not just a | ||
| kind of leftist figure He was previously compared as a Bernie Sanders, but he's | ||
| resisting a lot of the bigger lockdowns and he's saying no You can't just lock down small businesses. You can't lock | ||
| down communities You can't destroy people's livelihoods all in the name of | ||
| security because it's obviously a big joke So seeing this happening in Mexico is really surprising to | ||
| say the least. I thought you're talking about Cuomo No. | ||
| Cuomo did release a statement today. | ||
| Cuomo's always been for protecting small businesses. | ||
| Andrew Cuomo recently came out and said, we can't keep this lockdown going on for too much longer. | ||
| We have to reopen and do it safely. | ||
| And it's like, you know, what's really funny is Trump said something like, you know, one day it'll disappear. | ||
| Then there were a bunch of leftists who were like, all of these, these people were joking and mocking the left saying that once the election was over, that COVID would disappear. | ||
| And here we are. | ||
| And it's like, well, January 6th just passed. | ||
| And now Cuomo has come out saying, time to reopen! | ||
| And Biden too. | ||
| But the opening's going to be done based on your race, according to Joe Biden. | ||
| So that's another whole issue to jump into. | ||
| Timcast is a minority-owned company. | ||
| That's true, yes. | ||
| Happy to work here. | ||
| So we get to reopen. | ||
| Not like we closed. | ||
| No, but he really did. | ||
| Biden said it. | ||
| He's like, we're going to be prioritizing, you know, Native American, Black, Asian, Latina. | ||
| Didn't he say Latinx? | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| He probably did. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then he said, and women and men and then everyone else. | ||
| And it's like, what is everyone else after that? | ||
| White men. | ||
| Where's the Asians? | ||
| He didn't even mention Asians. | ||
| He didn't? | ||
| I thought he did. | ||
| He did not mention Asians. | ||
| What? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| He didn't? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| He didn't say Asians. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, he probably didn't say Asians. | |
| He probably said like Pacific Islander. | ||
| No, he didn't. | ||
| No, he didn't. | ||
| What? | ||
| Unreal. | ||
|

|
You're screwed, Tim. | |
| No, but we didn't have to shut down anyway, so whatever. | ||
| We're okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're fine. | |
| We still have a voice. | ||
| Well, good for him. | ||
| But we've got some... My friend's Luke is about to explode. | ||
| You're gonna watch his head explode in real time. | ||
| The most egregious act of censorship is quite possibly... What's the opposite of irony? | ||
| Like, the epitome, you know? | ||
| Like, it would be ironic if a fire truck's on fire, but what is it actually? | ||
| Maybe it is kind of ironic. | ||
| Ron Paul getting censored on Facebook. | ||
| The libertarian guy getting censored. | ||
| I was going to mention, you were like, why Ron Paul? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, why? | |
| Right? | ||
| I was I was going to mention it's like you were like why Ron Paul? I mean why right? Well, he's | ||
| Do you remember who he endorsed for? | ||
| the Democratic candidate for president who Tulsi Gabbard boom | ||
| That's a problem. That's a problem at like of all the Democrats to endorse. Yes, not her not the black sheep. | ||
| Forgive Well, this is the thing that's really surprising here. | ||
| When you look at Ron Paul, he obviously, his career is based on calling out violations of people's personal liberty, violations of government's abuse of power. | ||
| He's a staunch anti-war activist. | ||
| He pretty much is the main guy who calls for peace in the Middle East, but yet now he's being lumped in as this kind of Trump. | ||
| Whitewashing this kind of Trump censorship effort that that's happening here And I'm having a lot of people respond to this saying good get rid of his hate speech, and I'm like what? | ||
| He's calling for peace in the Middle East. | ||
| What kind of hate speech are you talking about? | ||
| He's talking about personal responsibility and Individual liberty how is that labeled as hate speech and this is the response You called a woman ignorant? | ||
| blue checkmark people and I'm like okay okay give me an example of this because | ||
| that's a very ignorant statement since of course it was Ron Paul that | ||
| criticized Donald Trump on many of his foreign policy adventures and then I was | ||
| called how dare you call a woman ignorant this is the there's a there's | ||
| the reply thing that's going on in my Twitter right now. | ||
| You called a woman ignorant? | ||
| No I said her mother. That was her response. | ||
| And I'm like, look, I don't care what kind of junk you have between your legs. | ||
| Give me an example of how Ron Paul spread hate speech. | ||
| Her opinion is automatically above yours. | ||
| And then she called me a misogynist. | ||
| And I'm like, what does that have to do with anything? | ||
| I don't care what thing you have between your legs. | ||
| What matters here is your bigger allegation here. | ||
| And people are jumping in and even coming after me and people are forgetting. | ||
| I criticize Donald Trump like all the time. | ||
| And now People are lumping me into this because I'm standing up for Ron Paul. | ||
| Who shouldn't be lumped into this in the first place? | ||
| Let me read the quote from Ron Paul. | ||
| He said, with no explanation other than repeatedly going against our community standards, Facebook has blocked me from managing my page. | ||
| Never have we received notice of violating community standards in the past and nowhere in the offending post identified. | ||
| You know what's funny about this? | ||
| You know what you'll hear if you turn on Ron Paul? | ||
| End the Fed, the gold standard, sound currencies, freedom, liberty, no wars. | ||
| It's not even in, like, the things that Ron Paul's been famous for and the things he talks about for the most part, his, like, key focus isn't even a part of the mainstream culture war for the most part. | ||
| There's only one other person I know of who constantly talks about ending the Federal Reserve and he's sitting in this room right in front of me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hello. | |
| Oh, Ian's here! | ||
| Ian's been very quiet tonight. | ||
| But people are celebrating this as some kind of cultural victory against hate speech. | ||
| And I'm like, what are you talking about? | ||
| About white supremacy? | ||
| About domestic terrorism? | ||
| I'm like, you know, the blue check marks are bringing this up right now. | ||
| This woke mob is bringing this up. | ||
| And again, conflating so many important issues. | ||
| As I keep saying, policies don't matter, power matters, and these people are power hungry, and going after individuals like Ron Paul absolutely proves it to an objective viewer who's just walking into this situation who really wants to understand it. | ||
| Maybe, but, you know, look, we're all old people. | ||
| So you've got these 20-somethings, you know, because there's one thing I really, I started to realize when we had some of these younger lefty guests on the show, they were, you know, when Ron Paul was coming into prominence, it's like 12 years ago now, the big Ron Paul era, the Ron Paul love revolution. | ||
| So I'm, you know, we're all old enough to have remembered that, but these kids were like 10. | ||
| you know now they're 22 and they're like yay communism and they don't know who Ron Paul is | ||
| at all other than he was like a republican so they're like yay ban the old white man | ||
| and it's like he's for freedom i don't know or care get rid of him that's it. Fox News and CNN | ||
| was attacking him non-stop when he was running to be president of the United States. | ||
| He was the only one standing up as a principled individual against this crazy aggressive American foreign policy, against the military-industrial complex, against the actual issues that literally mattered, and now he's being lumped in into MAGA. | ||
| It's Rand Paul's dad, that's why. | ||
| Well, again, Rand Paul is not Ron Paul. | ||
| The two are very different. | ||
| They have very different policies. | ||
| Ron Paul made sure to always vote no, no matter what it was. | ||
| So you got to give someone like that, you know, respect. | ||
| He was in there and he sent out, you know, a representation. | ||
| And he worked with Kucinich? | ||
| Yeah, he worked out with Dennis. | ||
| He worked with Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney, a lot of the kind of old school anti-establishment representatives that were not just Republican, not just Democrat, but individuals that stood on principles. | ||
| Do we have any of those left? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Not even Ron Paul. | ||
| would you would you give credit to ran paul for that partly i don't like any politicians as you know | ||
| uh... run ball well we have one for a couple more days and that would be | ||
| tulsi abberdine yeah you know i mean she endorsed by then | ||
| Yeah, she did. | ||
| Did she? | ||
| She did endorse Biden. | ||
| She endorsed Biden because allegedly Bernie was a meanie. | ||
| And Bernie is a meanie. | ||
| I've been around Bernie throughout the kind of presidential debate circuit and at public events. | ||
| He's a mean guy. | ||
| Bernie? | ||
| Yeah, he's like, he's rude. | ||
| Well, didn't you see that documentary about him where he wouldn't shake the woman's hand and he wouldn't pop the shoulder back into place? | ||
| And he didn't want to drink the 2% milk? | ||
| No, I don't. | ||
| You don't know what that is? | ||
| You guys know what that is, right? | ||
| Burn Your Enthusiasm on SNL. | ||
| One of the only funny things on SNL Live. | ||
| They've got very few really funny things. | ||
| A lot of their stuff is really dry, but they did that famous, you know, they had, um, what's the guy's name? | ||
| Larry David? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Playing Bernie Sanders. | ||
| And he's like, he wouldn't shake the lady's hand because she coughed in her hand. | ||
| You remember that, right? | ||
| You've never seen it? | ||
| Uh, I mean, I've seen, I've seen the Larry David stuff. | ||
| I don't remember that. | ||
| I don't watch Saturday Night Live. | ||
| The Viral Bernie video is hilarious. | ||
| So he's like, he won't put, uh, the only milk they have for his coffee is 2%. | ||
| And so he's like, I want whole milk. | ||
| And so he goes out and then like a woman crashes her car on her way to vote for him. | ||
| And she's like, pop my shoulder in place. | ||
| Like, I'm not going to do that. | ||
| And he ends up losing by just that amount of votes of the people he refused to help. | ||
| And then like, that's the joke. | ||
| He, he loses by 2%. | ||
| It was hilarious! | ||
| Allegedly, because of interpersonal drama between Bernie and Tulsi, this is one of the reasons why Tulsi decided to endorse for Joe Biden. | ||
| And I think also, I think she voted for him. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know, but I'll say I think Tulsi has tried to prevent the fracturing and the hyperpolarization. | ||
| Tried. | ||
| I'm not saying successful, but in the last bit of her remaining congressional term, she's put out some fairly moderate, liberal-type policies pertaining to cultural issues. | ||
| But she's also come, you know, out against, you know, like the Russia investigation ended, and she's like, that's it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| It's done. | ||
| Like, let's move on. | ||
| That's why they don't like her. | ||
| Well, she's, you know, yeah, she's a progressive, but she's not triggered. | ||
| She's not, she's very, she's objective. | ||
| She has principles. | ||
| There's things that she will fight for and fight to the death for, but she's not, she is not hyper-partisan. | ||
| And that's, I would never vote for her. | ||
| She's not corporate established. | ||
| But she's not hyper-partisan and that's why I like her. | ||
| That's why I respect her. | ||
| How crazy is it? | ||
| That Tulsi Gabbard, who is, in my understanding, she's for gun control, right? | ||
| It's like one of her positions. | ||
| She's for increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour. | ||
| She opposes nuclear energy. | ||
| She is very on the left. | ||
| And they call her right wing. | ||
| They say she was assigned Republican at birth. | ||
| And she goes on Tucker Carlson and she goes on Fox News. | ||
| She's not on the right in any sense of those words. | ||
| But that's how insane the Overton window is right now. | ||
| Even Tulsi Gabbard is right wing. | ||
| People only remember two things about her. | ||
| She went to Syria and met with Bashar al-Assad. | ||
| Even though she had permission to do it. | ||
| She's such a toady for Assad. | ||
| It's a callback joke to a Joe Rogan episode. | ||
| I don't think she's a toady. | ||
| But also the second thing was she opposed gay marriage. | ||
| And it's like, yeah, well, so did Joe Biden. | ||
| And so did Barack Obama. | ||
| And so did Hillary Clinton. | ||
| But because again, she's, she's like the outcast of the DNC because she | ||
| was, she was vetted for the DNC. | ||
| They were like, this is going to be one of the next big stars. | ||
| And then she started questioning the establishment. | ||
| She was like, well, we had 24 debates between Hillary and Obama. | ||
| And now in 2016 cycle, we're going to have six? | ||
| Really? | ||
| We're going to have six? | ||
| That's it? | ||
| And she went after Kamala really hard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Kamala. | ||
| Glorious. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Potato, potato. | ||
| How? | ||
|
unidentified
|
God. | |
| I was told. | ||
| You know what I'm trying to say. | ||
| The mask is off. | ||
| You know what I'm trying to say. | ||
| When Tucker Carlson mispronounced her name, they said it was racist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm just trying to help you, Luke. | ||
| And when Joe Biden. | ||
| I'd be a bigot. | ||
| And when Joe Biden pronounced her name improperly, you know, it was just chalk it up to old man. | ||
| He has a stutter. | ||
| Or also, also when he said, you know, Doug Imhoff, Kamala's wife. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh! | |
| Which, you know, I like that too. | ||
| I mean, that's the joke that everybody's been making anyway. | ||
| But, you know, it's still funny. | ||
| Kamala's wife. | ||
| Joe Biden, oh man. | ||
| You gotta love him. | ||
| Well, let's hope in two years the Republicans learn their lessons from the last... No, I'll tell you what's going to happen in two years. | ||
| So they did win in the House in the state levels, which means they're going to control redistricting, which will give them massive advantages. | ||
| in the next election. That's what people don't realize. Isn't that isn't that creepy that it's | ||
| not about your message? It's all just team sports. And because we went at the state level, now we're | ||
| going to win at the house level. And it's like ideas kind of irrelevant, just oppose the other, | ||
| I guess. But it's also the census, you know, thanks to thanks to COVID and all these terrible, | ||
| terrible policies. You have states like Texas and Florida, which actually might gain a gain | ||
| a congressional district. | ||
| California might lose one. | ||
| California might lose two. | ||
| And the same thing with New York. | ||
| They were expected to lose one. | ||
| They might lose three total. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| But there was always the talk about how if they were at least going to lose one, and this is before the pandemic, that AOC's district I think one of the biggest issues in the culture war split right now is trans issues. | ||
| it up between all the other districts and then she would have to either run in an in another district or | ||
| Just decide that she's gonna run for Senate which is I think happen one of the biggest issues in the culture war | ||
| split right now Is trans issues, you know, you can see that conservatives | ||
| don't agree with the idea of misgendering or they say there's only two genders and the left | ||
| clearly disagrees I I'm willing to bet that you give it for maybe eight years | ||
| and Republicans are gonna be 100% on board with all of it I'm not kidding. | ||
| I'm not trying to, you know, be bombastic or anything. | ||
| I think they'll be 100% on board with all of it. | ||
| Completely. | ||
| And the left will be much further in the direction of some new kind of, you know, issue pertaining to love or sexuality or identity and stuff like that. | ||
| How much further can they go, though? | ||
| Like, where will they be in eight years? | ||
| Otherkin? | ||
| Otherkin? | ||
| Furries? | ||
| I mean, what about, like, cutting off your limbs? | ||
| Don't they have that already? | ||
| Yes, already. | ||
| Body dysmorphia. | ||
| But then what happens with, say, the Tulsi Gabbard legislation that she introduced? | ||
| To protect sports. | ||
| Yeah, to protect women's sports. | ||
| That's what it's called. | ||
| It's called, like, protecting women's sports. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So, do you think, and are you saying also that in eight years, like, where does that go? | ||
| What happens with that? | ||
| If we look historically back at how culture has shifted, is there a reason to believe the right will retake ground in the coming eight years, especially considering the Democrats just took every branch of the federal government? | ||
| It's possible, because you can have- Assuming they pack the Supreme Court. | ||
| Not only just that, but also influencing people through the algorithms and the timelines- And the mainstream media- And what people are showing through social media- The manipulation- And Hollywood- Right, right, right. | ||
| And all this subliminal propaganda. | ||
| Listen, listen, listen. | ||
| Go watch a kid's show and see the things that are in it. | ||
| These kids are going to grow up, and they're going to vote, and they are going to be even further culturally, you know, progressive than 20-year-olds today. | ||
| And you're going to get a bunch of- I'll tell you, this is the funniest thing. | ||
| These lefties who are like 25, in 10 years, they're going to be right-wing, and then the new left is going to be these kids, they're going to make similar conversations that we had, and then we're going to find a lot of these people now agreeing with us on certain issues. | ||
| But if you look at what you got to do, I'll tell you something really creepy. | ||
| I saw this post. | ||
| It was someone tweeted at Christopher Rufo. | ||
| Go on Google and search for kids being taught that they're white supremacists. | ||
| Take that same quote and put it in DuckDuckGo and see the results. | ||
| When you put it in Google, it's like your kid is a white supremacist. | ||
| How to teach your kid they're white supremacist. | ||
| You put it in DuckDuckGo and it's news about how schools are teaching this. | ||
| So here's my prediction. | ||
| I see no reason to believe the right is going to make any cultural gains at all. | ||
| They've never been, for whatever reason, smart enough, I guess, or having an understanding of the game, to go after cultural institutions. | ||
| Now, the Daily Wire is doing movies, and they have that new movie, what's it called? | ||
| Run, Hide, Fight, which looks seriously intense. | ||
| I've seen it. | ||
| Is it good? | ||
| It's solid. | ||
| It's solid. | ||
| It's very intense. | ||
| And after the last week, or so with everything going on. | ||
| It's very stressful. | ||
| It's just a very stressful. | ||
| Is it available to the public now? | ||
| No, it's going to like I'm not being paid by the Daily. | ||
| They sent me they sent me a screener. | ||
| They sent Lauren Chen a screener too. | ||
| And I was like and I remembered I'm like I think I have something in my inbox from their PR team. | ||
| time. | ||
| But it's a solid movie. | ||
| It has Thomas Jane, who played the Punisher. | ||
| It has Treat Williams, who is in the Substitute movies. | ||
| This girl, I cannot remember her name. | ||
| This girl, like her real name? | ||
| The actress's name? | ||
| Zoe Hull is her character name. | ||
| But the actress who plays her is badass. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's a really, really good... Can we get a screener? | |
| And didn't the Punisher guy get cancelled because of vogue culture as well? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But it's a great... It's not like the greatest movie you're ever going to see. | ||
| Ben Shapiro is definitely hyping it up. | ||
| But it is definitely a solid movie. | ||
| It's worth the watch. | ||
| What's your score? | ||
| 1 out of 100. | ||
| Out of, oh god, like a 79, 80? | ||
| Pretty good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 7 out of 10? | ||
| 8 out of 10? | ||
| It's not the, look, there's... | ||
| I don't want to get into a movie review. | ||
| And I'm not going to spoil it or anything. | ||
| The point I'm trying to make is... | ||
| It's definitely worth watching. | ||
| The point I'm trying to make is, this may be one of the first times there is a conservative | ||
| production for a piece of content that's actually worth watching. | ||
| Yeah, it was definitely worth the watch. | ||
| What's that super religious Netflix they have? | ||
| Godflix? | ||
| Is that what it's called? | ||
| I think that's what it's called. | ||
| Farmer's Only Flix. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Farmer's Only Flix. | |
| You know what it is, because it's on the Fox commercial. | ||
| I see that commercial on Fox News all the time. | ||
| Yeah, but yeah. | ||
| Who watches that stuff? | ||
| It always looks... It looks cheap. | ||
| It looks like, okay... Like VeggieTales. | ||
| Honey, can you get the kids' camcorder? | ||
| I want to, like, shoot something. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Run, hide, fight. | ||
| It is stylish. | ||
| It looks good. | ||
| Camera work's great. | ||
| It doesn't look cheap. | ||
| Right, it looks fantastic. | ||
| There's actually... There is a scene, though, where one of the guys is holding a gun, and it's a rubber gun, and it's bending. | ||
| And I could not take my eyes off of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why couldn't they just get a replica? | |
| What are they doing? | ||
| Well, they did, they had some, but I guess they didn't have enough to go around. | ||
| I don't know what it was, production-wise, but I just see this guy, he's holding, he's holding it, and the barrel's like, it's not just pointing down, but then it's pointing to the right, and I'm like, oh my, come on, you couldn't fix that? | ||
| There's your Easter egg. | ||
| Well, no, it was a screener, it was a screener, so they'll probably digitally... No, no. | ||
| You don't think they'll fix it? | ||
| No, no, it's done, the movie's done. | ||
| They can edit it digitally. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| It's a screener. | ||
| I don't know if they could fix it. | ||
| It's not released yet. | ||
| Yeah, they could. | ||
| Of course they could. | ||
| They won't. | ||
| They'll CGI a gun from level 64. | ||
| Fix it, Ben! | ||
| Anyway, the point is, that does make me think that there is a potential for media to start being produced that will influence a younger generation. | ||
| But they're still 10 years out from actually getting any foothold in culture. | ||
| Well, now that everything's streaming, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because, you know, this is, you know, when you, when you get the PlayStation or the new Xbox, there's always like the killer game. | ||
| It's like the game you have to have, right? | ||
| There's not a lot of content coming out other than, you know, what's on Disney Plus. | ||
| Like that WandaVision looks just bizarre. | ||
| I have no interest in seeing that, right? | ||
| But I was so excited watching this, the trailer's great for Run Hyde Fight, right? | ||
| And maybe, like if there's something good, like The Mandalorian, you know, The Mandalorian's like, it's kind of like a must-see thing, right? | ||
| Now if people are into that kind of action movie, and there aren't a lot of action movies out right now, You know, because movie theaters are pretty much dead, and we can have that conversation another time, but having something like the killer app, you know, of this movie to get subs, like, go for it. | ||
| Now, another thing I kind of wanted to bring up and talk to you guys about is when you dominate culture, You have a lot of power and control and I think you could be right too, but I think also there could be a kind of reaction towards this because if you look at culture, especially in the United States, especially in the 1990s, it hasn't changed or progressed since. | ||
| Usually the 80s had its own unique culture, the 70s, the 60s, they had their own hair, their own clothes, their own music, their own kind of way of life, their own kind of That's not true. | ||
| No, I'm sorry. | ||
| and excitement about those times. | ||
| Since the 90s, we don't have any of that. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| I mean, in my opinion, I haven't seen a huge difference between the 2000s, the 2010s. | ||
| I don't see a change in clothing. | ||
| I don't see a change in hair. | ||
| I don't see a change in music. | ||
| I see it all becoming kind of repetitively the same, or I'm just becoming old. | ||
| You're probably becoming old. | ||
| So you can look at the, what do they call it, the aughties? | ||
| That's what they refer to as the 2000s, the aughties, and the 2010s. | ||
| And there's distinct music that was popular in the early 2000s that was prominent on networks and on social platforms, on MySpace and things like this that aren't really that popular anymore. | ||
| So each decade does still have its shifting, you know, cultural trends and everything like that. | ||
| And maybe you just don't see it because it's easy to look back at the 90s and recognize that, you know, baggy button-up shirt and like, I don't know, Stone Temple Pilots and stuff like that. | ||
| The 80s were weird, man. | ||
| Everybody agrees. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| 80s were weird. | ||
| What was it like leopard print hot pink hot pants? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What were they thinking while they roller skated? | ||
| A lot of drugs, a lot of crap by the CIA. | ||
| But for me, for me, nothing, not much has changed. | ||
| That's just my opinion. | ||
| Maybe I'm just seeing it. | ||
| A lot of, a lot of things do, you know, a lot of things are cyclical. | ||
| Like back in the 80s, camouflage pants were a big deal. | ||
| And you know, then To me, it's like they're regurgitating everything, especially with movies. | ||
| Oh, I mean, fashion definitely is. | ||
| Well, I do think... Oh, by the way, Isabel May. | ||

I heard Ben Shapiro's a fascist, so... I heard he's an alt-right. | |
| One of those alt-righters. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| You're probably right. | ||
| The anti-Semites, right? | ||
| Yeah, the anti-Semites. | ||
| That sounds like Ben Shapiro. | ||
| That silly little hat is all a ruse. | ||
| It is a ruse, yeah, for sure. | ||
| Talk about how stupid you have to be to think Ben Shapiro is alt-right. | ||
| It's the most insane thing ever. | ||
| He's Jewish. | ||
| He's the number one recipient. | ||
| I don't know what else to say to that! | ||
| But also, he's not edgy, crazy conservative. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| That's very mainstream. | ||
| What I like about Ben is that he has a law background, so that he approaches these things very differently than most pundits. | ||
| Like Mark Levin, he's all about constitutional law, so you see that But calling Ben Shapiro radical, which AOC has, by the way, called him radical, which is just mind-blowing. | ||
| This is how stupid she is. | ||
| Ben Shapiro is so much more traditional conservative, the kind of opinions we know and expect, and AOC is the radical with opinions you'd be confused by. | ||
| I just mean, when AOC comes in, a lot of things she advocates for, you're kind of like, About what? | ||
| Like what? | ||
| Like Ben Shapiro comes in, you're like, oh, he's a conservative. | ||
| Heard this before. | ||
| It's, you know, very, very traditional conservative positions on a lot of issues. | ||
| AOC is like, you know, the Green New Deal was not even about the environment. | ||
| It was, you know, equity for college and whatever equity, equity bills. | ||
| And she doesn't understand any of that. | ||
| She's a sponge, right? | ||
| But one of those, like, really cheap sponges that you, you know, get at the supermarket where- Oh, like the little ones where you get them wet and it's a dinosaur? | ||
| You know, it's not- No, that's cool. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| No, she is not a sham-wow, okay? | ||
| She's not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's not. | |
| A sham-wo? | ||
|
unidentified
|
A sham-no? | |
| She's like a parrot. | ||
| She hears people say certain buzzwords, certain things, certain things about equity, and then she tries to remember them, and sometimes she jumbles them up. | ||
| But she knows how to tweet. | ||
| She doesn't understand them. | ||
| You know what she knows how to do really well? | ||
| Is to clap in between words. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, look, one thing she has, look, she has a brand and no matter what happens with her political career, which isn't going nowhere, because if Maxine Waters can hold a political house seat for decades, AOC, she's got that covered. | ||
| President? | ||
| We've talked about this before. | ||
| You don't think she'll be president? | ||
| She'll run for president. | ||
| She will not win the presidency. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I think she's like Trump. | ||
| She cannot win. | ||
| I think she's like Trump. | ||
| Most of her support is outside of the district that she supports, as well as her donations. | ||
| It's like 98, 99% of all of her donations come from outside of her district. | ||
| Because her district's poor. | ||
| It's a big Spanish immigrant community. | ||
| She's like Trump. | ||
| What she's good at is not politics. | ||
| It's personality, social media. | ||
| She does not connect with people. | ||
| She went on a rant about the electoral college saying, look at all this land that votes! | ||
| She was driving across country. | ||
| She does not care about any of those people in any of those red states. | ||
| Not one person. | ||
| She doesn't have any respect for them. | ||
| Same thing as Anderson Cooper talking about people going back to the Olive Garden. | ||
| She does not connect with those people. | ||
| She connects with the woke crowd. | ||
| I'll tell you why I think you're right. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Damn right. | ||
| Well, think about it this way. | ||
| The reason why I think AOC was able to win is that normally the people who believe the things she does are fringe, and they're all over the country. | ||
| So if you live in a town with, let's say you live in a block and there's 10 people, and four of them are conservative, Five of them are Democrats, you know, are like moderate Democrat. | ||
| And one is a radical socialist or democratic socialist. | ||
| That one person has no political influence whatsoever. | ||
| No, no power on that block. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| This is, this is why AOC won. | ||
| Has won two elections now. | ||
| Let me, let me make my point. | ||
| That one person can't influence the block. | ||
| But AOC, because of the internet, was able to create a network of all of the different fringe elements in different areas, and all that power got pooled into her in her New York district. | ||
| So whereas these fringe pockets of far leftists in their areas don't hold power, together online, they all send their money to her, which allows her to overwhelm the district she's in. | ||
| That happened after the primary election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That's why she has 12 million followers. | ||
| That's not what I'm saying. | ||
| OK, but that was after the fact. | ||
| What I'm saying is this is why she can't win in a presidency. | ||
| What, she has 12 million followers on Twitter? | ||
| Yeah, something like that. | ||
| The reason why that won't translate into her actually winning is that those aren't regular working class Americans. | ||
| That's her brand. | ||
| People like her for her brand. | ||
| But in her district, She beat Joe Crowley because he underestimated her. | ||
| He was in the office for 10 terms. | ||
| He was the fourth most powerful Democrat in the House for one reason and one reason only. | ||
| He was a great fundraiser, right? | ||
| But AOC came in and just totally decimated him in a New York One debate. | ||
| And he didn't even show up for a second debate. | ||
| He sent a proxy. | ||
| So he basically completely underestimated her. | ||
| And, you know, she's the new young fresh thing, you know, with, you know, saying, oh, he's he's establishment. | ||
| Oh, he's in the hands. | ||
| He's in the pockets of of big real estate, you know, all this stuff. | ||
| When she ran in the general, she didn't have any competition. | ||
| And the same thing happened with her second election. | ||
| She ran against Michelle Caruso Cabrera, who was an idiot. | ||
| She ran one of the worst campaigns I've ever seen. | ||
| This woman might have had a little bit of a chance. | ||
| I thought that she would be smarter. | ||
| I was wrong. | ||
| Dumb, right? | ||
| Imagine being beat by AOC. | ||
| Just imagine. | ||
| And also imagine being beat by Joe Biden. | ||
| But here's the thing about AOC is that she plays to She's a character. | ||
| She's a Kardashian, right? | ||
| That's the way I put it. | ||
| She's that kind of influencer personality. | ||
| One of the most annoying things was when she was talking to... What's the director of Ice Guy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thomas Homan. | |
| And she said, like, legal asylees are not criminals. | ||
| And then he goes, they violated Subsection 2, Section 3A of the Uniform Immigration Code, the end of the country illegally. | ||
| And I was like... It's just like, OK, I reclaim my time. | ||
| It was really annoying how she said it, because it was meant to manipulate emotionally. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They are not criminals. | ||
| Like, OK, dude, chill. | ||
| We're having a hearing. | ||
| We want to have an honest... I can't stand that manipulative kind of... That's what she does. | ||
| That's what she does. | ||
| So many, so many Congress people, so many people in Congress do that. | ||
| Senators and... Of course. | ||
| And representatives alike. | ||
| But she does it... | ||
| The radical left in this country? | ||
| You know, they sit down ahead of time and say what are gonna be what are the | ||
| What can we say that's gonna make the sound bites on now this news, you know | ||
| That's what at this point she can just be like here's the sound bite for now this news and they'll just say oh, it's | ||
| a OC You gotta run it, but everybody has like five subreddits | ||
| dedicated to her that are always in the top of reddit Oh, yes, and it's just like really dumb young people who | ||
| don't even understand what she's saying But I'll tell you this I can I can summarize don't on that | ||
| guy. I can summarize a OCS campaign most of it | ||
| There are some things I've praised her for, for sure. | ||
| She worked with Ted Cruz. | ||
| They advocated for ending lobbying, like the lobbying pipeline. | ||
| She's called out big tech for surveillance, mass surveillance. | ||
| Awesome stuff. | ||
| But for most of what I see from her is this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it's like, okay, you snap back. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Now about those Amazon jobs. | ||
| Remember when she put her feet up like Amazon opening a marketing department with like a thousand employees compared to the 40,000 or whatever employees in the massive headquarters. | ||
| And she like was smugly sitting there like they came anyway. | ||
| And it's like, whatever. | ||
| I don't live in New York anymore. | ||
| So I'm not going to complain about it. | ||
| They vote for it. | ||
| You get what you vote for. | ||
| They clearly want her. | ||
| And so, look, she knows how to win. | ||
| She's won. | ||
| She's got a lot of followers. | ||
| You can criticize her. | ||
| You can say she's not smart, but she's certainly got some kind of talent. | ||
| She knows what she's doing. | ||
| She has a talent for celebrity and the brand. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| She does not have a talent whatsoever politically other than grandstanding. | ||
| She is a great influencer, a very talented one, and only a fool would deny it. | ||
| Oh, no, I agree. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| But unfortunately, actually, maybe fortunately, you know, since she doesn't give money to the DCCC, since she does actively try to primary sitting, sitting representatives, sitting Democrats, she is going to be shut out from a lot of things, including Uh, you know, seeing any of her legislation, uh, voted for on the floor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But, you know, to be honest, we'll see. | ||
| Uh, she'll be in for a long time and Nancy Pelosi is not going to be in for what, what you're saying, like two more, like the next term. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| She's, she is going to be there for a long time and going to be ineffective. | ||
| And you're going to be like, well, what has she done for her? | ||
| Oh, well, she's, she's really pretty, you know, like my hair is great. | ||
| My question is, who do you think is worse Pelosi or AOC? | ||
| Oh, AOC. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I think Pelosi. | ||
| I think Pelosi. | ||
| No, no, look. | ||
| Pelosi's more effective. | ||
| I mean, look what she did. | ||
| She was able to help derail the election by... But I'm not happy about that. | ||
| But that's her job. | ||
| As House Speaker, she's supposed to totally screw with the other side. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| If that's what you want, you think it's a good thing? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I'm not saying it's a good thing. | ||
| I think that she's... Like, who's a better person? | ||
| Or who's better at their job? | ||
| If you had to vote. | ||
| You had to vote for one of them. | ||
| You had no choice. | ||
| For Speaker? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| Just like, right now, some guy comes up and he's like, vote or else. | ||
| And you're like, oh no! | ||
| And it's AOC and it's Pelosi. | ||
| Who would you pick? | ||
| If I wanted to see... Look, I just think... I wouldn't vote Democrat in that way. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi is... Nancy Pelosi can get things done. | ||
| And I've defended Pelosi in the past because I thought, you know, the squad was being ridiculous and unreasonable and Pelosi was pushing back. | ||
| But at this point, Pelosi is just... | ||
| I'm just so sick of Pelosi. | ||
| I'm just so sick of the establishment, garbage, crony, I don't care about you, I lie, I cheat and I steal with Matt. | ||
| You know, I just don't like it. | ||
| And at the very least, AOC has some kind of, you know, argument for actually wanting to help people. | ||
| Not that it's very strong in my opinion, but Pelosi is just like, she's this old crone at the top of the tower looking down with contempt at the people. | ||
| I'm not gonna pretend like AOC is perfect or anything like that, but I think Pelosi is substantially worse. | ||
| But you vote for Pelosi because you know that she's like the top fundraiser in the Democratic | ||
| Party. | ||
| You vote for her because, well first of all, she's in your district. | ||
| This is the only reason why she wins in San Francisco, in that area, in her district, | ||
| because she's the most powerful person in Congress. | ||
| So of course you're going to vote for her because your district wants that power. | ||
| Different argument. | ||
| I'm saying that I like AOC as kind of a disruptor in the Democratic Party. | ||
| I don't like the crony corporate establishment politics. | ||
| And that's for similar reasons I like Trump. | ||
| For policy reasons, Trump was doing with like the Abraham Accords, with Middle Eastern withdrawal, with critical race theory. | ||
| I preferred him over someone like AOC. | ||
| But in terms of disrupting the establishment and, you know, a lot of these crooked corporatist types, I prefer AOC. | ||
| But AOC is not disrupting anything. | ||
| She's loud. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I'll take it. | ||
| Yeah, but why would you vote for somebody that you know isn't going to get anything done other than just be like a loud person? | ||
| I wouldn't vote for her. | ||
| Well, that was the... If I had no choice and I had to pick between the two, I'd pick AOC over Pelosi every day. | ||
| OK, fine. | ||
| I thought you were talking about, you know, like if you're a Democrat and, you know, if it's for me, I would vote for AOC because she's not going to get anything done. | ||
| And Nancy Pelosi, like I would want to derail Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But if I'm a Democrat in a district and those are my two choices, you go for Pelosi. | ||
| Every single time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I disagree. | |
| For me, you guys are arguing over stinky butts. | ||
| Like, well, this one has a little bit less pimples. | ||
| Well, this one has less hair. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi's, uh, she's... You know, I would prefer a progressive populist over a corporate establishment candidate. | ||
| The problem is, I think AOC is a careerist, and there are other progressives that I would much prefer to AOC or Pelosi. | ||
| Like, if there was an actual progressive, lefty, universal healthcare and all that stuff, like, very left, Critical race theory and stuff. | ||
| I just I don't even agree with I prefer over Pelosi, but AOC is a careerist I don't think she knows what she's talking about half the time. | ||
| I think she wants followers and she wants fame and attention It's her career. | ||
| She's gonna socially climb and all that stuff Pelosi is exactly that but establishment crooked ultra wealthy $20,000 refrigerator full of ice cream laughing at the poor peasants the old crone looking down from the tower with contempt I mean, I hate them both, but it's, you know, what are you, what are you gonna do? | ||
| I mean, again, I didn't vote for them. | ||
| I do not live in either of their districts. | ||
| But that's why AOC voted for Pelosi to be Speaker of the House. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Which is just, you know, at least she has principles. | ||
| We gotta do Super Chats. | ||
| We gotta do Super Chats. | ||
| But good, good, good, good debate. | ||
| I wonder what the chat's thinking about AOC versus Pelosi. | ||
| You could press 1 if you believe AOC. | ||
| You could press 2 if you believe Pelosi is the stankiest of them all. | ||
| I mean, I hate both of them. | ||
| Don't get me wrong, but I'm just saying as far as effectiveness goes. | ||
| It's like that tweet I put out where I said, who do you trust more, the government or the mainstream media? | ||
| And everyone's like, they're... I don't want to pick either. | ||
| Or press three if you're sick of it all, like me. | ||
| Smash that like button if you have not already. | ||
| It seriously does help when you give us a good thumbs up. | ||
| If you're listening on the podcast, leave us a good review because it also really does help. | ||
| And I forgot, you know, I should announce this now for everybody listening. | ||
| Timcast.com is up. | ||
| It's live. | ||
| Members-only area is now in existence. | ||
| We have yet to actually start producing. | ||
| So it's very much the early stages. | ||
| We just went live with the very new Timcast.com, which has all the new podcast episodes. | ||
| And we're going to have exclusive members-only content that will be only available through the site for paying members. | ||
| It's 10 bucks a month. | ||
| But we're also going to be doing physical events at the studio. | ||
| Limited ticket sales per event when we do. | ||
| And it'll be like first come first serve. | ||
| So you'll get an email and everyone's going to be sitting there refreshing their phone. | ||
| And we're not going to know, we're not going to plan out events and like announce them, you know, hey, the event is this day, tickets will go on sale on this day. | ||
| It's going to be one day you'll get an email saying tickets are now on sale. | ||
| It's going to be like so far sounds where it's all, you know, like very last minute. | ||
| Super last minute. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| Because we, I don't know how you make it as fair as possible, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's just randomly doing it. | ||
| Just the highest super chats. | ||
| Yeah, no, no, no. | ||
| That was the other thing, too, because, so again, go to TimCast.com. | ||
| You can become a member. | ||
| You can log in. | ||
| It's still very much, I guess, kind of beta-y. | ||
| We just launched, and so we're going to try and get things sorted and fixed and smooth. | ||
| But one of the challenges was, we're like, we have like higher tiers. | ||
| If you want to donate a ton of money, like, what do you get? | ||
| And I was like, maybe we set up a thing where they can come to events. | ||
| And I thought it was really crummy that we would tell someone, if you're too poor, you can't come and hang out. | ||
| That's kind of messed up. | ||
| So I was like, we need to have it just be kind of like an email goes out and it's first come first serve. | ||
| I mean, I was joking, but yeah. | ||
| No, but it was a good point because the question was like, how about if you give a hundred bucks, then you get a ticket to events. | ||
| And I'm like, nah, that's messed up. | ||
| We just need to know people. | ||
| I'm too lefty. | ||
| If someone can't afford it, I don't want to exclude them. | ||
| You know, we want people to be able to come out, but got to be honest, it's going to be like 20 tickets per event. | ||
| And then we're gonna do online, you know, we're gonna film, we're gonna stream and do shows. | ||
| So again, go to TimGuest.com, become a member. | ||
| We're gonna start putting up members-only content, so what'll end up happening is we do these shows with these guests, we're gonna record special exclusive, like, hangout chats after the show ends, and then put those up after the shows and stuff like that. | ||
| So again, check that out, smash that like button, and now we will read Super Chats. | ||
| Justin Force says, if the Dems actually expel elected reps like Cruz and Hawley, then by what authority, other than violence, does the federal government have the right to govern and tax the states that are now unrepresented? | ||
| They can't expel them. | ||
| They can't? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| No, they can't, because of the speech and debate clause in the Constitution. | ||
| They can basically say anything they want on the House floor, or on the floor, and, you know, they're not being incendiary. | ||
| They can actually commit crimes, right? | ||
| So you could lie. | ||
| You could you could call somebody you could you could slander them and say that they did something which they weren't. | ||
| And you know like say Debbie Wasserman Schultz calling Ken Cuccinelli a white supremacist. | ||
| I couldn't do anything about it. | ||
| Couldn't do anything about it. | ||
| He just has to. | ||
| He can rebut her but you know he can't sue her. | ||
| Can't you expel members of Congress? | ||
| Not for that. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| But do you need a reason if they vote for it? | ||
| Well, not for saying something on the Senate floor. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| They cannot be expelled for that. | ||
| They can be expelled for collusion or for conspiracy. | ||
| But, you know, just questioning something to bring out election issues in a debate and a discussion, they're in the clear. | ||
| It's all a left-wing talking point. | ||
| Oh, right on. | ||
| Tyler Henderson says, will you guys start discussing cryptocurrency at any point in time? | ||
| We do periodically, and let me just say, y'all who sold, y'all are dumb, because Bitcoin dropped pretty far. | ||
| It went down to like 30,500. | ||
| And I saw all these people being like, there's a story coming out saying people are going to lose everything, sell, sell, sell. | ||
| And I've been buying, and I'm like, don't, you'll make a huge mistake if you do. | ||
| People are buying at 30. | ||
| And so, exactly. | ||
| So I sat back, put my feet up, and watched it go right back up to 35. | ||
| Imagine all those people who saw it go to 30 panicked and sold, and now it's back about 35. | ||
| You just lost your... | ||
| Womp womp. | ||
| This is Lydia's favorite topic, by the way. | ||
| She loves talking about cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin, so if you have any related information, definitely send it to Lydia. | ||
| Yes, thank you. | ||
| Don't follow the market like a blind sheep. | ||
| A lot of people buy at the top and sell at the bottom. | ||
| That's not what you're supposed to do. | ||
| Not financial advice, but again, don't play it like the average sheep does. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I'll just tell you what I do, and again, I can't give you financial advice. | ||
| You gotta take that on your own. | ||
| I'll tell you what I do. | ||
| I think it was dumb of people to sell. | ||
| I, when I buy, I buy it and I hold. | ||
| It's total. | ||
| Hold on for dear life. | ||
| Because 66% of U.S. | ||
| dollars created in the past, what, nine months. | ||
| 66% in the money supply. | ||
| Well, it's all wrinkled and gross because they had to remake it. | ||
| But it's increased the money supply. | ||
| This has not happened before. | ||
| So who knows what's gonna happen, and I think Bitcoin is... I've said it before, I think it'll be a million dollars per coin at some point in the near future. | ||
| Jeepers. | ||
| But that's not an opinion I made up out of nowhere. | ||
| That's when you listen to the experts and the people who know what they're talking about, and they tell you... | ||
| Based on the technology and what it is and what it does, and the fact that all of these massive, multinational, billion-dollar corporations are buying in to hold assets, to hold value. | ||
| It's just there. | ||
| It's a good store of value, and it's gonna keep going up. | ||
| My friend Sean actually was saying that he was gonna hook me up with some advice about crypto, because he's like, I'm not doing politics right now anymore, I'm not doing, you know. | ||
| So he's all in on crypto right now, and he can afford it, because he's super rich. | ||
| But Sean, remember to get back to me, because I wanna play this game. | ||
| When Bitcoin hit 20 bucks, Everybody was like, oh, freaking out. | ||
| A lot of people were buying. | ||
| And then it dropped way down. | ||
| And everyone's like, oh, it was a bubble and it burst. | ||
| It was hype. | ||
| It was a trend. | ||
| And then it jumps up again to 100. | ||
| Then it jumps again to 1,000. | ||
| I remember when it hit 1,000, people were like, what? | ||
| And I was like, wow. | ||
| I was like, how am I going to buy in now at 1,000? | ||
| Because you can buy fractions all the way down to eight decimal points. | ||
| So, every step of the way, the trend has been entirely predictable. | ||
| What happens is, the people who mine the Bitcoins, who produce them, this is my understanding, I could be wrong, this is not a financial advice, this is just what I read and what I base my opinions on, they start producing Bitcoin, okay, so they get them through running the software, running the hardware to generate it. | ||
| Then, at some point, something happens politically or in the markets, and people rush and flock to store their money out of fear. | ||
| This causes a huge spike. | ||
| So we've recently had like JP Morgan and a bunch of other banks saying Bitcoin's gonna be huge. | ||
| We're buying in like crazy. | ||
| Once the price skyrockets, the people who mine the Bitcoin go, now's the time we sell to get maximum value out of the effort we put into producing them. | ||
| The mass sell-off drives the price way down because everybody's waiting to buy at lower prices. | ||
| And then once the miners clear their stock, it starts going back up because the demand is still there. | ||
| You getting all this, Lydia? | ||

Yeah, I'm listening. | |

Yeah, anyway. | |

|
Don't care. | |
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| I'll learn about it. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| So do what you want to do. | ||
| I'm not, I don't, you know, look, I listen. | ||
| I just, I see tweets from Max Keiser and I'm like, I'm going to buy Bitcoin. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Have fun staying poor. | ||
| That's the meme. | ||

unidentified
|
We'll see, we'll see. Maybe everyone's wrong. You can't win if you don't play. That's true. | |
| Well I don't think it's about winning, I think it's just, these are uncertain times, in my opinion, not advice, I'm | ||
| just saying, for me, I was really worried when I saw them mass printing this money. | ||
| Biden's saying he's gonna do another big round of stimulus. | ||
| He's just basically devaluing the money, there's nothing being produced. | ||
| I'm, I... | ||
| Shut up. | ||
| I want that free money free money. | ||
| Shut up. | ||
| Don't do it like don't Student of history says ladies and gentlemen in these trying times work on yourselves Think of ways to improve your local community Organize the local level to push peacefully for change and find ways to separate your community from the big the big buoys Be constructive, please advice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah advice Vote local. | |
| Look, you can worry about voting for president every four years, but really, real change happens on the local level. | ||
| With your city council, with your assembly person, and your state senator, it's all super important. | ||
| Every election is important. | ||
| Don't concentrate on just once every four years. | ||
| And vote with your dollar, and also vote with your attention, but most importantly, take care of yourself so you can take care of others. | ||
| That's another important lesson. | ||
| I mean, I guess. | ||
| So, I can't read Japanese, but they say, I love you, Tim. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| And then GenoFast... Konnichiwa! | ||
| Can you try? | ||
| I can't, no. | ||
| Oh, it's like a bunch of lines. | ||
| It's a kanji, I think? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| GenoFast says, I love you, Luke. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| I love you, too. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Alright, let's see what we got here. | ||
| I believe that's true, but that doesn't mean anything. | ||
| It basically means someone archived Parler, and... Okay, thank you? | ||
| It was lazy coding on Parler's part, but all data available via the IPs is being scraped and archived, including videos, | ||
| images, and posts. | ||
| I believe that's true, but that doesn't mean anything. It basically means someone archived Parler and... | ||
| Okay, thank you, I guess? | ||
| There was this big rumor going around that all of the private information and IDs was being- was hacked or | ||
| whatever. | ||
| Yeah, that was a few weeks ago. | ||
| And then it was made up again, the same stupid lie. | ||
| And I saw everybody just posting it because someone on Reddit made the claim and then someone screenshotted it and posted it on Twitter. | ||
| And I'm like, did anybody Google this? | ||
| They didn't even bother Googling it. | ||
| And it looked legit, you know? | ||
| It wasn't. | ||
| It was Q-style conspiracy, like giving someone a vague description of jargon so it sounds legitimate. | ||
| Like, the API access resource was exposed. | ||
| Now, I'm not big on this stuff, but what that means is the pseudo file that's used for the | ||
| import allowed them to access your private information. | ||
| They're like, whoa, those are crazy words I've never heard before. | ||
| It must be true! | ||
| In related news, Twitter just announced that they got rid of 70,000 users for sharing, | ||
| this is what they're saying, Q-associated content. | ||
| That's the word that we're getting right now, officially. | ||
| I've lost half my followers. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| They were all your followers. | ||
| It's just a way to purge the right once again and the left keeps growing and Twitter is pushing this and it is creating a monoculture and it is getting creepy. | ||
| Well, if you see on Twitter, you see a lot of right-wing politicians losing a lot of followers, but you see a lot of Democratic people gaining followers. | ||
| So I even saw Swalwell tweet, look how many great new followers I have. | ||
| Thank you again so much for following me. | ||
| So that should tell you what's going on. | ||
| Well, I think there's a difference between new users, right? | ||
| These Democrats who are being followed, they're not from new users. | ||
| They're from existing users. | ||
| The Republicans who are leaving, are leaving. They're cancelling their accounts, their usernames. | ||
| So there's a difference. | ||
| It's not like it's balancing out for Twitter. Definitely not for Twitter. Twitter's probably | ||
| in trouble a little bit. How much trouble do you think that Twitter is in the long run? | ||
| I think they're in serious trouble. | ||
| Yeah, there was a comment, I think, made by an investor's report that said, Conservatives are fleeing. | ||
| They think eventually political activists might end up choosing Twitter and stay. | ||
| But Twitter was dying before Trump. | ||
| They were. | ||
| It was burning users. | ||
| They tried changing the way they count metrics to sell better. | ||
| Like, oh, we're gonna go to monthly active users instead of daily active users. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| How many people on Twitter are active every single day? | ||
| Not that many. | ||
| How many are active in a month? | ||
| So you make, I don't know exactly how the metric counting worked, but the idea, I assume, or I remember reading, could be wrong, just preface that, was like, if you tweet once in a month, you're considered a monthly active user, or something like that. | ||
| Whereas when they did daily active users, some people don't tweet in a day. | ||
| You know, so they were like screwing with the numbers, trying to make it look like they were growing, but it was | ||
| like you could see the users were going down. | ||
| And then Trump came along and then everybody in the world was like, | ||
| Trap's tweeting! | ||
| 88 million followers. | ||
| Now he's gone and I'm sure a lot of people are just like, what's the point of being on Twitter anymore? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, that's actually a good point. | ||
| But also for the left, too. | ||
| You know, we were talking about, like, you know, Brooklyn Dad Defiant and all these people. | ||
| It's like where, you know, Trump, they have a notification when Trump posts and they're like, OK, what's the thing I'm going to say right now? | ||
| Like, what's my rebuttal? | ||
| Some of them were bots. | ||
| People don't realize this. | ||
| Some of them would just respond to Trump with some nonsense like, Trump would tweet something where it's like, the radical left in this country is trying to subvert the Constitution. | ||
| We will never allow this. | ||
| This country will not be socialist. | ||
| And then you'd see a reply guy say something like, yeah, coming from you, it just shows how dumb you are. | ||
| Great job. | ||
| You know what else works? | ||
| automatic response. | ||
| Great job. | ||
| That were generic, but it worked. | ||
| And they would get hundreds of thousands of followers and then reply saying, make sure to buy my shirts. | ||
| And then they would sell shirts where it's like, Trump is so dumb. | ||
| And it worked and they made a ton of money. | ||
| You know what else works? | ||
| Business was a booming. | ||
| And I see this like once a week now where somebody's like, I just quit Amazon. | ||
| I quit my job because I have principles, and I was making $220,000 a year. | ||
| Also, I'm black. | ||
| Follow me! | ||
| And it's like they just made an account like a week ago, and then all these people retweet them and are like, oh my god, this guy's a patriot. | ||
| It's fake. | ||
| He's some guy from Eastern Europe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For sure. | |
| Poland? | ||
| Well, it depends. | ||
| fake account. | ||
| Daniel Maxwell says, Luke, the only government that you can trust is one that is afraid of | ||
| its own citizens, but only as long as that government is afraid of its own citizens. | ||
| Poland? | ||
| Is Poland afraid of its citizens? | ||
| Well, it depends. | ||
| There's a lot of debates going on, specifically with the Polish government and some protests | ||
| and pushback against it. | ||
| I wouldn't say the government's scared, but I think the government does realize that essentially | ||
| the power is with our consent. | ||
| And once we understand that, I think they lose a lot of leverage. | ||
| So I think that's why it's very important to let people know that they have absolutely a lot of power and that they shouldn't be feeling disenfranchised at all. | ||
| Smooth play, Johnny J says. | ||
| Tim, in your opinion, why does the career of journalism attract more liberals than conservatives? | ||
| I love your show. | ||
| Keep up the great work. | ||
| Good sir. | ||
| Because news organizations are based in cities. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's the only reason. | ||
| So there are conservatives who work in media, but if you live in a city, you're much more likely to be left than if... So the people who live near these institutions are more likely to go and apply and get jobs, and they're more likely to be rich. | ||
| Because news organizations don't pay very well. | ||
| So there was this, like, a big thing happened in New York where people were kind of screaming about it. | ||
| The only people who are getting jobs at the New York Times are rich kids. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because your parents pay your bills, and you work for nothing. | ||
| You want to work at the New York Times? | ||
| Okay, start as an unpaid intern. | ||
| How is it possible to be an unpaid intern in New York City? | ||
| It's too expensive. | ||
| But if your parents pay your bills, you can do it. | ||
| So, it's the rich kids. | ||
| It is rich, it is upper-class white progressives getting these jobs. | ||
| They're coming from colleges where they're learning about a bunch of stupid things, and then that becomes the narratives at these institutions. | ||
| Even surprisingly, a lot of people at Fox News. | ||
| Oh yeah, look, I've worked in newsrooms where, you know, like all the people covering finance, they're right-leaning for the most part. | ||
| But every, just about everybody else, other than, you know, depending where you are, like your editorial board is either like all the way to the right or all the way to the left. | ||
| But for the most part, I'd say most journalists are definitely left-leaning. | ||
| Well, it's because they're in cities. | ||
| Yeah, it's true. | ||
| Gareth Green says, I fundamentally disagree with your collectivist philosophy | ||
| of the commons. | ||
| I don't believe that anyone has the right to use anything they don't own. | ||
| But that doesn't mean I can't acknowledge and denounce the suppression of dissent by social media. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think... I don't believe we could function... I've argued with so many ANCAPs and Libertarians about the ownership of common resources. | ||
| And the argument always comes down to something simple like upstream water use and downstream water use and water rights and things like this. | ||
| And we have to have some kind of agreement. | ||
| Cause you, if like, I've been told someone could just own a portion of the river and do whatever they want. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, well, then the people downstream are going to get angry when you take a dump in it and they're going to come up with pitchforks. | ||
| They're like, but it's my, you know, okay, look, there's a lot of arguments we can have. | ||
| I think there are common things we have to agree on. | ||
| Otherwise I'll just buy the river cause I have the power to do so. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I don't think you're an ANCAP or anything, Andrew. | ||
| You're looking at me like. | ||
| No, no, I'm just listening. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So are you familiar with the concept of the commons? | ||
| No. | ||
| Like, uh, the town center? | ||
| Like, I'm learning right now. | ||
| So, uh, it's the shared resources of a local community. | ||
| You know, so you build a bunch of houses, there's an area that no one, you know, owns, like it's a road or something. | ||
| It's commonly used. | ||
| One day someone comes and destroys it, well we take issue with that. | ||
| So the way I describe Twitter and Facebook is that it's become the political space for, it's the commons. | ||
| Meaning it's the area where we all gather to communicate and share ideas, and what's happened now is, where we used to go to churches, and we used to go to town halls, we now go on social media, and it's basically akin to someone setting up giant walls around town hall, saying you can come in and have a political discussion on the issues, if you agree with our opinions. | ||
| So it's like, well, if I want to come and have a political debate to change the rules and the laws here, and you're not letting me in because you don't like my opinions, then how can I participate anymore? | ||
| You can't. | ||
| And then you get crushed out. | ||
| So I'm not a fan of monopolizing power in any capacity, be it free market, be it oligarchs, be it government. | ||
| Let's read some more. | ||
| Let's see what we got here. | ||
| We'll try and jump down and grab some. | ||
| Poofy says, redeem these nuts. | ||
| Hi, Poofy. | ||
| For that very astute observation. | ||
| Poofy's my operative at Don't Walk, Run. | ||
| Poofy definitely helps me out with scripts and insight. | ||
| And actually, I was talking about the Electoral College the other day, and I was on the phone with her on Discord and just yelling at her, like, you Don't understand! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You don't understand, like, it's the state's rights! | |
| She's like, but... You know, she agrees, but, you know. | ||
| We had a little conversation. | ||
| I love you, Poofy, you're awesome. | ||
| Bucky Wilson. | ||
| Could you guys plus gal recommend any resources to teach a beginner, start a business, podcast, stream, 36-year-old, laid off, second wave, co-19, tired of working for people? | ||
| Um. | ||
| The Motley Fool. | ||
| Well, I'll tell you, I think too many people think, I don't know, everybody's trying to podcast right now. | ||
| Podcast equipment got sold out, the prices like Elgato Stream Dax are through the roof. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my god. | |
| Catcher cards through the roof. | ||
| And it was because it's something you can do when you're locked in your house. | ||
| Podcast. | ||
| But I also think too many people look to popular mediums and assume it's something they should do or that, you know, listen, Just because you're seeing something doesn't mean you should be doing something. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, I know a lot of people who wanted to be actors just because movies and shows are so prominent, and I'm like, do you like acting? | ||
| No, but it's a good way to make money. | ||
| I'm like, there's a lot of ways. | ||
| You sell t-shirts to make money, you know what I mean? | ||
| So, if you really do want a podcast, I would say you need a good capture card. | ||
| The Elgato, what is it, 4K capture USB stick is pretty good. | ||
| I use those when I travel, but we have actual, you know, PCI cards that go in the machine. | ||
| Black magic has capture cards a good camera doesn't be crazy. | ||
| There's some good Sony's that are super cheap little handheld cams and you can do a micro HDMI to HDMI and Get a good microphone. | ||
| This is the SM 7b and it is just because everyone uses it Everyone uses it and I'm sure they're better microphones, but I like them. | ||
| I like there's USB microphones you can Not a fan. | ||
| But you don't need the best kind of equipment starting off. | ||
| No. | ||
| Especially if you're starting off, just try to focus on things that someone else is not doing. | ||
| A lot of people try to be someone that they're not, and I think that's when they get caught up. | ||
| A great book I would recommend, Rich Dad Poor Dad, I would definitely recommend that. | ||
| And look for problems in our society and try to fix them. | ||
| And those will lead to perfect opportunities for you to be an entrepreneur Uh, because there's a lot of problems right now. | ||
| There's very little people trying to solve them. | ||
| You know what I, you know how I got started? | ||
| I had a GoPro 4, and I would just put it on top of the monitor and press record. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Well, it sounded awful. | ||
| It looked weird. | ||
| Whatever, man. | ||
| I still use a webcam. | ||
| And it's OK. | ||
| And it's fine. | ||
| And the quality is there. | ||
| But it really does matter about you as an individual being unique and accepting your uniqueness and doing something that someone else is not doing. | ||
| That's the key. | ||
| That's the recipe, in my opinion, towards success. | ||
| Yeah, I agree that you don't need... I mean, look at Shu on head. | ||
| I mean, how long did she have that potato cam? | ||
| Like, for a long, long time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She still does! | |
| What do you mean? | ||
| Oh, I thought she upgraded. | ||
| Did she? | ||
| I mean, I thought she upgraded. | ||
| Yeah, she did. | ||
| Potato cam. | ||
| No, it was! | ||
| I mean, she would say it was, you know. | ||
| And it had like, you know, it was like 15 frames per second, you know. | ||
| Not great equipment, but it's all about the content. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And not, you know, I think talk about what you're passionate about, you know, but this is not for everybody. | ||
| Look, you've seen me on tonight. | ||
| I'm not, you know, I can't do this, but it's this, it is not, it is not for everybody. | ||
| It is not easy, but you don't know unless you try. | ||
| You know, I mean, I had for a very, very long time for about a year and a half, I had about less than 600 subscribers, but I wanted to do it. | ||
| I would say it was just me being creative. | ||
| I never thought that I would be at now 420,000 subscribers. | ||
| It's crazy, right? | ||
| It's great. | ||
| 420, man. | ||
| You know, but I honestly, I, I just wanted to do it because I wanted to do it. | ||
| If you, if you do do it, do not. | ||
| It's not a guarantee that you're going to blow up because there's a lot of people to do it. | ||
| Do it because you want to do it. | ||
| Don't do it because you think that it's going to be like a get-rich-thing and you're going to be like the next Sour Patch Lids. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| He can only aspire to be like me. | ||
| Grant Shearer says, Tim, the Bible says certain things will happen to Jewish and Christian nations that turn away from God. | ||
| Ever since God started being removed from society, those things have been happening. | ||
| Google consequences of nations who turn away from God. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I've been hearing this more and more, that people are claiming revelations is starting to happen. | ||
| But I wonder if it has more to do with political turmoil, giving people anxiety, so they're looking for the signs. | ||
| I mean, they said back in the 80s that, you know, it was going to be the end of the world, you know, like Pat Robertson, you know, saying like the... Oh yeah, there's always someone new. | ||
| It's always, you know, the rapture's gonna happen, you know. | ||
| I've been hearing that for a while, too. | ||
| Yeah, I remember my mom going, oh, I can't believe that we're in this time and it's not fair! | ||
| And, you know, thinking that the rapture was gonna happen. | ||
| I was just like, uh, okay, you know, just because the man on TV said it doesn't mean it's gonna happen, but, you know. | ||
| She also thought there was gonna be, like, you know, nuclear war, too, but that's another thing. | ||
| We were close. | ||
| Vixen Valentine says, I love the addition of Luke to the show. | ||
| Adds a different viewpoint and very respectable, knowledgeable man. | ||
| And he's gorgeous. | ||
| I hope he stays on. | ||
| Side note, did Luke name his dog yet? | ||
| Ah, you killed it for me because I was actually, no, Super Chat, | ||
| because I was going to seg into that later when I talked about my Instagram | ||
| and I was going to be like, look at Luke's dog. | ||
| Listen, we already said the largest Super Chat names the dog | ||
| and people sent like 20 bucks and stuff. | ||
| And you named it Grogu. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Grogu, yes. | |
| Um... | ||
| Well, we're debating between Atlas, Pooper, Freedom. | ||
| There's all their names. | ||
| And Luke Sage. | ||
| Luke Sage is one of them too. | ||
| Luke Junior. | ||
| She's a really good dog. | ||
| No, we named her Fumble Bump. | ||
| Fumble Bump? | ||
| It's perfect for an apocalypse dog. | ||
| For a prepper dog. | ||
| So the other day, Luke was trying to coax Fumble Bump to him with treats, and I grabbed this bag of Swedish candy, which the dog was not going to eat, and I kept jiggling it, and she was looking back and forth, and I was yelling, Fumble Bump, and he was yelling, Freedom. | ||
| She chose Fumble Bum. | ||
| Well, because you had the snacks. | ||
| He had snacks too. | ||
| He had real dog treats. | ||
| I had this, like, Swedish candy the dog wasn't allowed to eat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He had a cheat code. | |
| It was just something to shake. | ||
| Well, he had the cheating candy that the dog couldn't have. | ||
| I see. | ||
| Well, if you guys want to see the dog... | ||
| Go to my Instagram at Don't Walk Run Productions. | ||
| All one word, Don't Walk Run Productions. | ||
| I still need to get 10,000 subscribers so I can do polls and stuff. | ||
| But the dog is very cute and I'm so blessed. | ||
| Two days, no potty mistakes at all. | ||
| She already knows how to sit, how to lay down on command. | ||
| But German Shepherds are smart by design. | ||
| That's all in their genes. | ||
| She's like 10 weeks now, so I'm pretty impressed. | ||
| All right. | ||
| JM says, is there much difference between fringe Trump supporters who thought Trump was sending them secret messages to seize Congress and the left to accuse Trump of dog whistling them to attack Congress? | ||
| The only difference is whether they like Trump or don't. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| The live stream where they're like, Trump's going to be happy with us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| They're both mentally ill, that's the problem. | ||
| Dude, the thing is though, guess which one gets banned? | ||
| The right, not the left. | ||
| Of course! | ||
| So these conspiracy leftists who for years, I'm not gonna name some of these people, but some of these people have hundreds of thousands of followers, they're verified, and they say the stupidest and craziest things like, Steve Bannon is facing the death penalty for treason, then Lin Wood says Mike Pence is facing the death penalty for treason, it's all nuts! | ||
| It's really crazy. | ||
| I mean, I'll tell you, man, the level of unhinged psychosis that I've seen on social media these past months have made me have some deep philosophical conversations about the right to access on a platform and whether or not we should just ban them all outright. | ||
| I'm like, here's the compromise. | ||
| Just ban it for everybody. | ||
| No one's allowed to use social media. | ||
| Just go back to the days of radio or the record player like Joe Biden. | ||
| I mean, if we're going to ban politicians, let's ban all the politicians from using the platform. | ||
| Seriously! | ||
| If we're going to expel Republicans, let's compromise. | ||
| Expel all of them. | ||
| And the Democrats, all of them. | ||
| Start over. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was watching some, I think I was watching Fox and they were saying, well, how is the president going to communicate to people if he's not on Twitter? | ||
| He has a press office. | ||
| Like, it's not that hard, you know? | ||
| Like, he still has a communications director. | ||
| Well, it depends if the media decides to cover him because they were already fact-checking him in live time and cutting him off. | ||
| But of course they're gonna cover him now because, you know, they need to say every... Maybe. | ||
| They would. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Joseph Moore says, Tim, how can people remain peaceful and say what happened in DC was wrong, while also in the same stroke, just say if things remain to course, big tech will soon control all ways of life. | ||
| I don't think remaining passive will change where we are heading. | ||
| From Fury, quote, ideals are peaceful, history is violent. | ||
| History is violent, but we're in a different technological age. | ||
| And I think that's the issue. | ||
| So I was saying this earlier on my show, over the weekend, I did less segments, partly because Everybody needs to chill. | ||
| And I was like, you know what, man? | ||
| It's like people were screaming at the top of their lungs on Twitter. | ||
| That's what I saw. | ||
| I turned on Twitter, and it was like that episode of Rick and Morty where the son comes up and screaming the whole time. | ||
| That's what happens when you open the Twitter app. | ||
| It's like, I'm just scrolling. | ||
| It's all I see. | ||
| And I was like, I'm just going to do it. | ||
| I woke up in the morning, and there were some things I felt like talking about. | ||
| So I did segments. | ||
| I said, I'm not going to read anymore. | ||
| And we went to the woods. | ||
| We threw rocks and skipped stones. | ||
| Broke the ice. | ||
| Broke some ice, yeah. | ||
| There was no internet. | ||
| at all and uh we made a fire and we just kind of chilled in the middle of nowhere and i was like people need to relax man need to chill so i think you know mike cernovich said it get offline you know go to your loved ones and just drop this kind like we need to chill pull back and just calm down the dog was running around there was no service and i have to remind people You gotta work on your mental health. | ||
| When you're on social media, you're on a device that literally rots your brain and destroys your mental health. | ||
| There's many studies showing this. | ||
| Look into taking a day off, maybe. | ||
| I mean, I started taking some days off because you need to. | ||
| You need to decompress. | ||
| You need to get away from it all. | ||
| And I was very happy to have that nice nature day. | ||
| Took a total day off. | ||
| And also most importantly meditate nap whatever if ashwagandha is your thing do your do something | ||
| That's good for you at least once a week because right now we need it more than ever | ||
| Well, I think one one way to approach things like Twitter is it's not real life at all | ||
| Just you know, I I get very argumentative on Twitter Because it's fun for me because I'm not taking it seriously. | ||
| I'm I'm definitely, I like calling people out. | ||
| I'm right all the time. | ||
| But I mean, that's fun for me. | ||
| I think like Parler, Parler's fine, but it's an echo chamber. | ||
| And that's what Twitter's turning into. | ||
| It's going to be an echo chamber with all these conservatives to fight with. | ||
| Without Trump, you're out of a job. | ||
| Brooklyn dad defiant, you know? | ||
| Sorry, next Super Chat, please. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You're good. | ||
| We're a little distracted. | ||
| We're looking something up. | ||
| Yeah, somebody mentioned that all of Gab's tweets are now gone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| What? | ||
| Oh, tweets on Twitter. | ||
| We're on Twitter. | ||
| It counts there. | ||
| The tweets are gone, which is weird. | ||
| Weird. | ||

Yeah. | |
| Hmm. | ||

| Yes, he is. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Ben Shapiro is a rad dude. | ||
| Yes, he is. | ||
| Jay Maxx's love him or hate him. | ||
| Ben Shapiro is one of the few pundits that constantly encourages his audience | ||
| to watch, listen to his opposition and tells his listeners to come | ||
| to their own conclusions. | ||
| That is the absolute right thing to do. | ||
| And so I try to make sure I do the same. | ||
| Like, if you're only watching me, you're that you're in bad shape. | ||
| You know, you got to watch everybody. | ||
| I try my best, but you don't end up happening is I get like, I'm not | ||
| I was like, go check out this guy's video. | ||
| He did a video very similar to mine, but he's on the other side of the, you know, opposite perspective. | ||
| And then I got a bunch of comments from people being like, I watched what he was saying and it was all wrong and poorly fact-checked. | ||
| And I'm like, probably why I disagree with him. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| So that's why I encourage you to go find out. | ||
| I'm just making this stuff up. | ||
| But I get things wrong. | ||
| A lot. | ||
| It's so weird that I'll be like, here's what I think might happen, and then I'm wrong, and then these leftists are like, haha, Tim was wrong, and I was like, yeah, I don't think I'm the smartest guy in the world. | ||
| Do you think I think I am? | ||
| I always call myself a dude who complains on the internet. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It was an opinion. | ||
| I know. | ||
| You're not saying, well, this is definitely absolutely going to happen. | ||
| But my favorite is when I was like, if Trump appoints Tulsi Gabbard as a security advisor, Andrew Yang as economic advisor, and then decriminalizes pot, 49 state landslide. | ||
| And then they cut that first part out and then use the last part. | ||
| And it's like, dude, I'm talking about hypotheticals pertaining to riots and what might contribute to like a hypothetical historical moment. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Well, just to jump on, to add to Tim's commentary here, definitely read everything. | ||
| Be like Sarah Palin. | ||
| Read everything. | ||
| One video that I did, I needed a breakdown of what was in Bernie's Medicare for All plan. | ||
| And the best analysis was on Vox. | ||
| And I used it as a source on my, you know, I said Vox.com did an analysis and I got so much pushback in the comments where they're like, why are you using Vox? | ||
| I'm like, because it was a good analysis. | ||
| Like, you know, they don't, they don't, not everything is bad that they do. | ||
| I love using left-wing sources when they're calling out the left, because then it creates, it's kind of like a, dude, if Vox is calling them out, come on, we're not making this up. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And that's why I don't, I generally, you know, when I am doing sources, when I am like trying to prove a point, I will use the Washington Post as much as possible or the New York Times or Vox or, you know, Salon or Slate or whatever, because it just, it shows that I wasn't like, well, he's just getting all of his sources from Fox. | ||
| You know, it's like, that's not true. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Black Czar says, Progressives stating that they believe free speech is a human right while advocating for the removal of dissenting voices is not a contradiction. | ||
| No, as they do not perceive such people as human. | ||
| Only humans have human rights. | ||
| I guess it's an argument. | ||
| There is a big dehumanization agenda trying to make your political opponents look as ugly and as deceitful and as nasty as possible. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, you're right. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| There's a revolt. | ||
| They're demanding to know what happened to Ian. | ||
| Ian was kind of off his game tonight. | ||
| Honestly. | ||
| Feeling sick? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I walked off the show before when I had a big migraine. | ||
| It happened. | ||
| He got a new gorilla. | ||
| So maybe too much gorilla energy. | ||
| It overwhelmed him. | ||
| Now he has the glowing gorilla and now the other. | ||
| It's a lot of gorilla rage. | ||
| They're both yelling and doing kind of the same thing. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Clayton says, tell Luke I joined CMU. | ||
| I want to start having an impact. | ||
| Not enough people get real news. | ||
| Thanks to all. | ||
| You're greatly appreciated, especially Sour Patch Lids. | ||
| Oh, thanks. | ||
| CMU is Change Media University. | ||
| It's an online program that I have that teaches people the steps of how to be an independent journalist. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| It's on wearechange.org and then we have a CMU section that you guys could check out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sweet. | |
| I didn't know that. | ||
| Let's see, Eric Miller says, I disagree with Luke. | ||
| There was... There's... There's was many cultures because we had the internet and don't have the attention span to hold on to a culture for a decade. | ||
| Could be true. | ||
| I think you bring up a valid point. | ||
| Social media is awful. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think, yeah, so what we're seeing is there was a dominant culture more so in each decade. | ||
| And now we have fractured cultures because of the Internet. | ||
| And so these cultures are fighting each other. | ||
| The culture war. | ||
| They don't agree with everything. | ||
| People don't agree with each other. | ||
| But there's no innovation. | ||
| That's the thing, in my opinion. | ||
| It's a lot of recycling. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| I looked up Gab. | ||
| I can see their tweets. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Yeah, I can see them. | ||
| All of them? | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| I can see them. | ||
| Fake news. | ||
| Yeah, on my phone. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Sure can. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| When I go on Twitter and pull up GetOnGab, there's three. | ||
| Hmm, interesting. | ||
| Well, there's three tweets. | ||
| There are at least three. | ||
| There's at least three. | ||
| Are you seeing more than three on your phone? | ||
| I thought I was seeing like 15. | ||
| It could be that you have, so the Twitter app stores the data. | ||
| It's like a cache or something. | ||
| Yeah, maybe so. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Scott Brumley says, I canceled my Audible Amazon account, but left product book reviews posting what I would have posted on Parler if I could. | ||
| Everyone should do this sort of thing. | ||
| That's actually really funny. | ||
| Leave reviews of your Parler comments. | ||
| Way to go. | ||
| Good job. | ||
| That's smart. | ||
| You could use the comment section of a product as a feed to communicate. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| But eventually they would catch on and ban your IP probably. | ||
| But you just change it. | ||
| You could say, follow me on the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone reviews. | ||
| And then you're just posting what you think in reviews and arguing with people. | ||
| It has nothing to do with the book, but it's a platform by which you can post things. | ||
| Luke, what famous literature should we follow you at? | ||
|
unidentified
|
1984? | |
| Definitely 1984. | ||
| Yes, that would be perfect. | ||
| And then when they censor the comments on 1984, it would be glorious. | ||
| Oh snap. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| That's just, oh my god. | ||
| We have to do this. | ||
| There are 616 tweets from Gab. | ||
| So, we've been having some issues with the website, because we just put it up. | ||
| So, TimCast.com, we just launched, someone's saying- It was working just a few moments ago. | ||
| Just a few moments ago? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Oh, okay, yeah, that's up. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So, uh, cool, cool, cool. | ||
| You could go to Gab on Twitter, but you could also go on YouTube and look at my website, my channel, Don't Walk Around Productions. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Or my Instagram, Don't Walk Around Productions, all one word. | ||
| I'm not getting any money from Gab. | ||
| America Aegis says, Tim, what has stopped me from going out and doing anything is financial responsibility to my family. | ||
| I'm figuring out a way to fix that to protect my family. | ||
| I'm here for America. | ||
| I think the best thing people need to do is get off social media and build local community culture. | ||
| Little League games, skate park. | ||
| I went to the skate park the other day and it was like desolate. | ||
| And it's kind of crazy, you know, and a lot of people are saying, oh, but, you know, skateboarding is on the way. | ||
| I'm like, it's actually not. | ||
| The Olympics are getting skateboarding this time around. | ||
| It's a huge deal. | ||
| There's a lot of money being dumped into this. | ||
| So where are the events where people go to the parks, whether you're barbecuing and having a beer, if you can, I don't know if you can actually do that at the park or you're, you know, your kids are skateboarding and there's like an event going on. | ||
| We need more local events. | ||
| I guess COVID has stopped that and it's forcing everybody onto the Internet where they're screaming. | ||
| Just turn opening up Twitter. | ||
| Well, when I say the Twitter isn't real life, I've done man on the street interviews where I've said, you know, we just had an election. | ||
| Did you vote? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Who's your who's your state senator? | ||
| Oh, Schumer. | ||
| No, that's your that's your U.S. | ||
| senator. | ||
| Who's your state senator? | ||
| And so many people don't know because a lot of people are like you look at Twitter and you think the world is nuts about politics. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| Normal everyday people care about like Little League games and You know, they're maybe like a local issue or something, but they're not super political. | ||
| I was watching a local news channel and it was just like, police officers pulled over a man on 7th and Main yesterday who was driving without a taillight, and it's like, I'm like, wow. | ||
| The news they care about in these small towns. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Well, even, I mean, local news in general is pretty, you know, when you talk about how journalism is, you know, Dying. | ||
| Not for these local stations. | ||
| No, no, especially for the local stations. | ||
| They're on fire. | ||
| It's just... Because everyone's going national. | ||
| All people follow on social media is national news. | ||
| Donald Trump! | ||
| But because of this, we're not learning about the things that are really affecting where we live. | ||
| That's really bad. | ||
| So, this is what you do to save. | ||
| You want to save this country. | ||
| Have local events to whatever degree you can with the COVID lockdowns. | ||
| Encourage people to meet. | ||
| Talk to your neighbors. | ||
| Just that kind of community gathering, man. | ||
| It used to be at churches. | ||
| We're not a particularly religious country anymore. | ||
| I mean, we are still overwhelmingly Christian, but a lot of people aren't really practicing as heavily. | ||
| And so the get-togethers don't happen. | ||
| We need that. | ||
| You gotta, like, the neighbors gotta come together and have, like, a barbecue or something, or a block party. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| With COVID, it's destroyed. | ||
| Well, there's been also a cultural attempt to fracture the family, and we're at a point where family members are snitching on other family members that were in Washington, D.C. | ||
| to the FBI. | ||
| And the mainstream media is glorifying that and promoting that right now, which just shows you the kind of, in my opinion, the larger narrative and agenda that's being being pushed by Hollywood and all these other very powerful institutions saying stay away from your family, family bad, and supporting this kind of individual lifestyle that is very just gluttonous and decrepit in my opinion. | ||
| Creepy stuff. | ||
| Eric Noyes says, why didn't I get a notification that you were live? | ||
| I had to come check your YouTube channel. | ||
| Yes, but we're live Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. | ||
| So, you know, you can always just come to watch the show if you want to watch a show. | ||
| And that's a thing. | ||
| The biggest driver of views on YouTube is recommendations. | ||
| And natural pull is when people, that's the phrase for when someone says, I choose to turn this show on. | ||
| For Tucker Carlson, he gets views not because it's being recommended, but because people every day say, I want to watch him. | ||
| That is way more powerful than my views on YouTube. | ||
| So I can sit here and be like, oh, I get millions of views per day on my show on YouTube. | ||
| Yeah, but YouTube's pushing it. | ||
| Tucker gets people to come to his show, so that's way bigger. | ||
| So if you like the show, you just gotta show up. | ||
| And also, we're gonna have a bunch of exclusive content and exclusive livestreams on TimCast.com. | ||
| It's gonna have a membership section, and then we're gonna be building up a lot of new stuff. | ||
| It's gonna be really cool. | ||
| But we've got this new area set up, this new venue. | ||
| We're gonna have, like, a live stage and music. | ||
| It's gonna be fun. | ||
| Streamed members only. | ||
| And we're even going to invite people out here. | ||
| You'll get to come to the studio if you're a member when we put up the tickets and we send out the email. | ||
| But they are very limited, so I imagine we're going to have a ridiculous amount of members and like 20 available tickets. | ||
| So become a member. | ||
| TimCast.com. | ||
| Same thing with Saturday Night Live, though. | ||
| You know, you can wait in a standby line and never, ever see the inside of 6A. | ||
| So, you know, it happens. | ||
| You know, this sounds really fun. | ||
| It sounds really cool. | ||
| I'm definitely looking forward to it. | ||
| We've got this little stage set up, and it's still a little bit cold, so I don't know if we want to set everything up just yet, but we have an area for stand-up, sit-down interviews, and for music, this little stage we built, and it's like skateboarding, and we're going to have comedians and music, and start getting that stuff set up too, because a lot of the guests we have are musicians or comedians, or even political commentary, so there can be Yeah, maybe. | ||
| sort of stand up political discussion, not necessarily comedy, but I think you would | ||
| be really great at like doing a live version of one of your videos, Andrew, where you like | ||
| have like a screen and you break things down. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| Yeah, it would be great. | ||
| And then people would come hang out, have a beer. | ||
| It wouldn't be like a regular venue, like people standing around having like burgers | ||
| and sipping a beer, but we stream it live. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| I'm being invited. | ||
| I'm holding that to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It'll be great too. | ||
| And like, I'm sure we'll have Jack Murphy around all the time. | ||
| Jack's awesome. | ||
| People love Jack. | ||
| So yeah. | ||
| So that's what we're getting ready for. | ||
| And, uh, it's funny though. | ||
| The left is like really critical of us having guests here, but it's all within the COVID guidelines. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And like, we're like, it's not, it's like one guest at a time. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And we've got hand sanitizer and we clean things. | ||
| It's like, I don't know what, what do you think is going on? | ||
| It's like one person. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Stop it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stop it. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| You don't want to smell that microphone. | ||
| That's all I'm saying. | ||
| We have the Alex Jones microphone, but we have the covers for, for people and everything like that. | ||
| Um, I don't know what the thing is going on. | ||
| We're not in the UK where it's like, you can't leave your house. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Whatever, but it's going to be fun. | ||
| And I think the limit right now is 50 people and we're probably gonna have 20, which is totally normal and like allowed no super spreader events here. | ||
| And we'll take it seriously, you know? | ||
| Alright, that's a good one, but I'm not going to read it. | ||
| David Eliason says, I am a gorilla. | ||
| And I'm not going to read the rest of that. | ||
| DeadbeatGamers says, Tim, on the 20 max show, if they are fan funded for those who can't afford to go, 20 lucky fans could go on all expenses paid fan experience and a vlog of the whole experience would be amazing. | ||
| Thanks for all the spice. | ||
| Yeah, maybe we could actually do something like that where we could have Like a lottery winner. | ||
| I just hate lotteries. | ||
| It's like you sign up and you're crossing your fingers hoping that you get to come and there's like 10,000 people. | ||
| And then when you don't win you get salty. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's a bummer. | ||
| But I guess how salty would it be if like you're sitting there checking your email and the email comes in and you click it and your phone's like error loading because the site's overloaded. | ||
| And just like with the PS5 it's also going to be annoying. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Look, I'm enough of an influencer that I get to see a Ben Shapiro movie early. | ||
| And thank you, Daily Wire. | ||
| It's nice of you to think of me. | ||
| And you got your money's worth because I talked about it on the top podcast. | ||
| What would you call this? | ||
| A livestream podcast. | ||
| The top thing on YouTube. | ||
| It's a thing, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, the top thing. | ||
| You know, you know the thing. | ||
| I do know. | ||
| People are saying that when they try to log into the website, it's giving them an error. | ||
| Well, we will take care of that immediately. | ||
| Amazon. | ||
| Just went up. | ||
| So we've got to upgrade our hosting and it's going to happen. | ||
| You know, the secret to starting a business is always just start it. | ||
| And then you've got to iterate and fix as you build, you know, you start getting through the bugs and stuff like that. | ||
| So when we had it, when it went live, everything's working just fine for us. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, we're good to go. | ||
| And we're probably going to get inundated with so many people. | ||
| It's going to cause errors and crashes and we'll get it sorted. | ||
| Growing pains. | ||
| It's day one of the site being up. | ||
| You're not the Lotus Eaters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, no. | |
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Because there's like eight months before now. | ||
| Carl's website's amazing. | ||
| No. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, what happened was they, from what I understand, they hired somebody. | ||
| They went live. | ||
| It kind of, you know, hit the bed and they basically had to bring in like people who actually knew what they were doing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So this is Carl Benjamin's podcast. | ||
| Sargon of Akkad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Aka Sargon. | ||
| His great website. | ||
| The Lotus Eaters podcast. | ||
| I saw his website and I was like, man, this is really good. | ||
| It's like, I'm jealous. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they have probably like the second best live stream slash podcast thing on YouTube. | ||
| I hear it's great. | ||
| It's doing really well. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's nowhere near as good as we are. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| We're tooting our own horn, guys. | ||
| But Carl's awesome. | ||
| Carl, you rock. | ||
| And his show's been skyrocketing in the rankings. | ||
| Way to go, Sargon. | ||
| Yeah, cool show for sure. | ||
| And it's more British-centric, I guess. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They cover a lot of a lot of stuff. | ||
| They cover a lot of American politics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For sure. | |
| Oh, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Carl always has. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| But like they like today they covered the Pelosi coup. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| And yeah, they they covered they cover a lot of American politics. | ||
| But but they're not stupid about it. | ||
| They know they know what you're talking about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| All right. | ||
| We'll do one more. | ||
| So the most important super chat, Nicholas Keller says, Tim, get those nerds to work. | ||
| We need your site up now. | ||
| I think I think we're on it. | ||
| I think I think we are on it. | ||
| And That's what it's it's maybe we need to seriously upgrade everything. | ||
| Just because I didn't know how many people are going to, you know, come in and try and sign up immediately. | ||
| But it's probably more than we expected. | ||
| You're a popular person. | ||
| Oh, I'm so famous, aren't I? | ||
| You're an influencer. | ||
| Yeah, I'm an influencer with so many. | ||
| Oh, you know what, man? | ||
| It was so much easier when I had a lot less followers. | ||
| So humble. | ||
| No, no, but let's be real. | ||
| Let's be real. | ||
| I remember when I had like 120,000 subscribers on YouTube and I was living comfortably and I wasn't getting the flack and wasn't getting the smears and the attacks and the conspiracy theories and the threats and I'm like, man, You know, mo' money, mo' problems. | ||
| That song was right! | ||
| But, uh, you know, it comes with the territory, so some people can hang with it, some people can't. | ||
| A lot of these journalists lose their minds because they get harassing emails, and I'm just like, I just ignore it. | ||
| I just, like, filter words. | ||
| Like, if you email me with certain words, it goes in the garbage pile. | ||
| Yeah, it's not real. | ||
| I mean, you know, if it's a credible threat, you know, send it to the authorities. | ||
| There's one thing going on right now that Twitter won't remove, and it's, you know, freaking out my family. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And Twitter's like, well, we looked at it and we're not sure yet. | ||
| We'll get back to you. | ||
| And I'm like, well, you know, thanks, Twitter. | ||
| I'd like to call on Amazon to suspend Twitter because they're refusing to moderate this activity. | ||
| Anyway, if you haven't already, smash that like button. | ||
| uh subscribe hit the notification bell and i'm not entirely sure what's going on at the site because you know it's probably being slammed by everybody trying to sign up but you can go to timcast.com if not now maybe later sign up to become a member we're gonna have exclusive content we're gonna have exclusive live streams some of it's gonna be silly we're gonna vlog the vlog will be coming soon once we we gotta get to that point covid really jammed everything up to be completely honest Made it really hard to expand, put pressure on Subverse aka Scanner. | ||
| And so we're getting things in order, but we'll see how it goes with Biden coming in. | ||
| If we're going to do more Lockdown or less, that's, you know, a big challenge. | ||
| But anyway, go to TimCast.com. | ||
| Become a member, sign up. | ||
| If you are already someone who is giving on PayPal, you just need to request a new password and you should already be a member. | ||
| And so this is kind of a, we think it creates a benefit for everybody who signed up early because you might get essentially some kind of discount. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure how it might work, but if you're already donating to the old timcast.com slash donate, then you're already in the system. | ||
| And if it's not working now, just check back later, but also follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and I normally would say parlor. | ||

| If you want the t-shirt that I'm wearing that says, if you trust government, you don't know history, you could get it on WeAreChange.org forward slash shirts. | ||
| And one last thing, Today is actually the eight-year anniversary of the death of Aaron Swartz. | ||
| If you don't know who he is, look him up. | ||
| He's a very important internet pioneer, freedom fighter, and he should be remembered through everything. | ||
