It's actually kind of looking good for Chavin, at least for the time being.
This is the George Floyd case.
And this guy's being charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter.
And we've got a couple things.
One, apparently one of the jurors who was selected said Black Lives Matter is too extreme and hasn't seen the George Floyd video.
Another juror was a woman of color who apparently has a relative who is a cop.
So that, interestingly, It probably is favorable for Chauvin in some ways, especially saying Black Lives Matter is a bit too extreme, but I think both sides, you know, they've expressed themselves in these jurors, so they're probably satisfied with them to a certain degree.
But we have another crazy story within this.
Jack Posobiec tweeted, one of the jurors said they feared that if their name was released, their home would be attacked by leftist rioters, and they're right.
Absolutely correct.
I mean, no matter what happens, they're not satisfied with even the charges laid out on Chauvin now.
They want first-degree murder.
In fact, I'm sure some of them would be calling for the death penalty.
So even if he gets second-degree murder, which is extremely unlikely, they're not going to be satisfied.
If he ends up with manslaughter, they're not going to be satisfied.
And so we have another story.
Locals in Minneapolis are starting to freak out because they're genuinely concerned about what's going to happen.
Yeah, because that one woman, that corrupt journalist from Axios, who was dating the guy in the Biden administration, and then like, don't worry, it's not a violation of ethics, when it like, was.
She got rewarded with an editor-in-chief position at Teen Vogue, which is a creepy publication as it is.
But now they're coming after her for 10-year-old tweets.
Yeah, the lawyer was asking people, he was like, you know, how do you feel about the fact that they had to put up all this stuff outside the courthouse to protect it?
They were trained to do the knee and in the neck, right?
The only real argument is that he do it too long.
And the problem with that is manslaughter is like, basically you were negligent and
you cause someone's death.
There's an argument.
Okay.
That he was kneeling too long.
And when George Floyd became unresponsive, they should have been
monitoring the situation better.
But also I think we, it's, it's, it's hard to know, man.
People see these things and they're like, I know exactly what I would do in that situation.
We talked about this the other day.
You give someone a handgun who's never shot a handgun before and they're surprised they can't hit anything with it.
And then try and put them in one of these situations and they think they know what would happen.
For all we know, Chavin was just like, his mind was going a mile a minute, and he's got people around him screaming and filming, and so he's just totally pulled from the moment, and he's kneeling on George Floyd because they were trained to do it, and he did it for several minutes too long.
Tucker said he did die of overdose, but the medical examiner said that's not what he reported.
I guess the general idea from the medical examiner is it was a combination of all of these factors, which I guess the suggestion is if he wasn't restrained that way, he would not have died.
I think he's going to... Well, I don't know what's going to happen.
I think there's a strong possibility.
Let me pull up this juror thing real quick so I can give some context.
The Daily Mail says, Revealed.
White chemist who thinks Black Lives Matter is too extreme and hasn't seen the George Floyd video, and woman of color who's related to a cop are the first two jurors selected in Derek Chauvin's trial.
So that so far, I'm like, that sounds favorable for Chavin.
I mean, a guy who thinks Black Lives Matter is too extreme.
He's probably approaching this from a more neutral, but I mean, it sounds like he's biased against Black Lives Matter.
Not that I think Black Lives Matter will play a big role in whether or not Chavin did right or wrong, because it's not like George Floyd was literally a Black Lives Matter activist.
But then you have this woman who's related to a cop.
So, to what degree is she related to him?
Is it like her uncle she doesn't talk to?
Or is it, you know, her brother who tells her stories every single day?
But I think either way, so far, this leans in his favor.
Especially when you consider all of these jurors, like you were mentioning, have to walk into this building surrounded by barricades and razor wire and cops.
And then they're like, how do you feel knowing they had to do this?
So just throw them the gulag and throw away the key.
Maybe.
Or maybe they're like, we are suffering.
The homicide rate is through the roof, the riots are gonna happen no matter what we do, and if we lock this cop up, we're not gonna be able to get any more cops in this city.
Considering their spending was at $6.4 million, I wouldn't be surprised if they're like, you know, throw it to the prosecutor, just like, you know, throw the case, let him win, let him get off, and then we can say we did what we're supposed to do, they're gonna riot no matter what we do, and then we can tell all the cops, don't worry, you won't go to prison.
I was we were we were talking it was last year was the day that happened to you and I was talking about how like with all the riots going on you know at the house we got to be we got to be careful and everybody should be vigilant and you know keep your eyes and ears open and ready because we might start seeing these people show up at houses and I remember some of my friends were just like I don't think so man no look like they're protesting and rioting but they're not going to people's houses And then like the next day I see Cassandra being like, they were at my house banging on the doors, firing fireworks, and I'm just like... Let's get that house.
I was covering the riot that night, and it was like two miles from my house, you know where I lived.
It was, you know, pretty close to the White House, and it was the night they burnt that church, and I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone, and I was like, I'm kind of freaked out.
I got like way more specific death threats than normal today.
Because they get them all the time, but like...
People are messaging me, like, my address and DMing me my address and all this stuff.
And I was like, I'm a little worried, but I guess I'm gonna go to bed.
And then, like, literally two minutes after I got off the phone, I just hear, like, pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh.
Yeah, so I heard this car come up, and they, like, screeched around the corner.
And it was right after the riot ended.
So I was covering the riot, and I was like, OK, it looks like it's all done.
Everybody's, you know, settling down.
It was, like, 4 o'clock in the morning.
And then like just minutes later I hear this car like screech and then slam the brakes because I lived on a corner and they like turn that way and then they get out and like fireworks just start launching at my house and then I hear somebody banging on my window with what sounded like a stick or something.
Yeah, so he said that he talked to my neighbors who had a Black Lives Matter flag in their window, but my boyfriend went over there and was like, hey, did you talk to him?
So I'll just say that I don't want to contribute to the fire, so I think I'll just leave her name out of it.
But she's a prominent I guess, I don't want to say culture war, because she doesn't entirely cover culture war subjects, but she does, you know, dip her feet into the culture war issues and cause trouble.
She had tweeted that this VC guy, Marc Andreessen, said the on Clubhouse.
And it wasn't true.
And so she tweeted today, it's like, you know, international, I think it was, was it about international women?
She's like, my life, my life has been destroyed by online harassment or something.
And then she linked to some site that's advocating for like, online, like ending online violence.
So they view mean tweets and harassment as violence.
And so you end up with like Glenn Greenwald and Michael Tracy
and just a bunch of I'm not going to they're not
conservatives.
They're just like the politically homeless sect of, you know, former
liberal journalists saying like your life was not destroyed.
This is so over the top.
And this is somebody with all the institutional power of the New York
Times.
Meanwhile, they shut the Cassandra's house with fireworks harassing you
And so everybody just started doing it and we were, I was at the White House and I was trolling and I was like, oh, we're taking over this liberal space.
Well, yeah, but they they ruled that she did defame me, but that it was I couldn't win the defamation suit because I was deliberately trolling on Twitter.
I think it was easily provable that she knew she was lying because what this... I don't want to call her a journalist.
What she did was she took an image from 4chan, a meme image from 4chan, but then linked something from the Anti-Defamation League that showed something totally different.
So the Anti-Defamation League link showed like a two-hand gesture maneuver, but then she attached a 4chan meme to it to make people think they were the same thing.
And so they were like, they're throwing up white power!
And there was like this, I guess what happened was there was something in the window of like a store and then I guess they smashed the window up because it was a basketball player yelling three pointer.
So they're like on the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial and the Native American guy shows up.
People started posting photos from the high school where in the basketball game they're holding up the three pointer sign and they're like, the school are white supremacists!
But here's what happens, man.
Why was it that all of these mainstream news outlets put out that fake story about Nick Sandman claiming he did this thing he didn't do?
They don't care if it's true or false.
They care if it gets them clicks and makes them money.
And then what happens is, dude, I know so many normies.
Politically uninitiated people who believe the stupidest, craziest, insane stuff ever.
But, like, they're screaming that Donald Trump staged an insurrection, and, like, you know, I'm just like, I know, but, like, what about when, like, the feminists stormed the Senate and, you know, congressional buildings, like, three times?
They did put it back, but they, yeah, they took it down.
So this is the craziest thing.
Urban Dictionary, which is supposed to be where you define colloquial terms used in, you know, modern settings, deleted BlueAnon.
Because BlueAnon was basically saying it is a reference to Democrat voters and individuals who believe unhinged conspiracies about Russian collusion and that mobs and militias are going to storm the Capitol at any moment and they need razor wire.
And so Urban Dictionary took it down.
Why?
It's not hate speech.
It's not disparaging anybody based on race or gender identity.
They took it down because it's always been political.
I thought Urban Dictionary was like where normal people would go and kind of crowdsource the meaning of these up-and-coming, you know, the kids these days are using these words.
Like yeet or whatever.
I don't know what kids are saying these days, but I was like... I still don't know what yeet means.
Do you remember when Maisie Hirono was saying that saying the word sexual orientation were offensive and Merriam-Webster went in and changed it so that this was obviously a pejorative?
But I don't want to necessarily entertain the concept that one tribe has all the answers, necessarily.
Like, when they say, you know, red pills, I say like, Sure, but the people who use the phrase Red Pill aren't always right, and I don't want it to be a tribal thing where you go to someone who might not agree with conservatives.
Like, Clifton clearly was not conservative, and so his worldview is very, very different from people who are conservative, who are more likely to use those phrases.
However, that being said, if we're into the fair assessment and definition of what red pill is, I think Michael Malice's definition... What does he basically say when... White pilling.
No, no, red pill.
Michael Malice's definition of red pilling is that when you realize the narrative of the corporate press is, you know, it's like... The cathedral is wrong.
It's remarkable when I have a conversation with someone and they're like, look man, you know, all these people rioting and protesting, yeah, but Trump staged an insurrection.
And I'm like, they were banging on the doors of the Supreme Court building when Kavanaugh was there.
They changed the definitions in dictionaries to smear the Supreme Court justices they don't like.
The women in the pink hats literally stormed into the congressional buildings occupying every floor and got Congress shut down.
They suspended RSBN for two weeks and gave him a strike for simply showing Donald Trump speaking.
That's insane.
Ford Fisher, journalist.
His footage of Donald Trump speaking on January 6th was used by a bunch of news outlets because he licenses it out.
They banned him!
They apparently suspended, not banned, but they suspended his channel, gave him a strike.
Meanwhile, the New York Times and all these other outlets use the exact same footage.
So I think what we're seeing is it's not so much about the rules are meaningless.
What it really is, they're waiting.
They're sitting there saying, we only want corporate establishment press.
We want the cathedral's narrative to be the only narrative.
However, they need an excuse to ban people.
There were a lot of problems when they started randomly banning people, and it led to huge press cycles of like, why was this person banned?
Did they break any rules?
Then you get people all tweeting like crazy, we demand you reinstate them, and then they're pressured into reinstating people.
But when you see someone get banned and then they say, you posted a video that broke this rule, it's definitive.
I'll tell you this.
I've had people hit me up and they're like, yo, Tim, my channel got shut down.
I don't know why.
Can you help me out?
And I'm like, for sure.
What happened?
I said, this video got taken down and now I can't upload.
And then I look at the video and I'm like, you, you showed that news story.
Like if, if I send this to Google and say, Hey, this is incorrect.
They're going to say, no, it's not.
We said, you can't show that news story.
It's probably bunk.
It's probably a BS reason.
But it's like, what real argument do you have for a big boycott or a big push when they broke the rule?
So certainly, we still push back and say that shouldn't be a rule.
You should be allowed to express your opinion and say what you want to say.
But from a technical standpoint, You end up with some low-level Google employee that, like, I might be able to email or have access to, and they're gonna be like, I just can't override my boss.
The rules are the rules.
We told everybody in January, you can't say these things or show these things in any context.
So now, Donald Trump's speeches are being removed.
Ultimately, I think it's gonna be really, really good for Trump.
I think with Trump, one of the biggest problems he had was that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
It benefited him in a lot of ways.
His ability to control the narrative and bypass the press really angered the press, but they're addicted to him.
They're still addicted to him.
They're calling it the Trump slump now because ratings across the board have been collapsing.
Layoffs are happening.
Media is falling apart.
But now if Trump comes back and runs again, he can directly email everybody.
But that is a lot more arduous than a tweet.
You've like, we get these emails now.
Everyone's, I guess, getting them from the office of the 45th.
And I don't even know how my emails are in that system, but he got them.
He got my email and now it's just going direct to my mailbox.
But think about this.
He's not gonna be able to tweet or go on YouTube and say anything.
So the only thing that will come from Trump is going to be the like purest distilled version of Trump without the nonsensical tweets calling someone horseface.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he is launching his own social media site in the next four or five weeks after being barred from Twitter for election fraud claims.
Now, I'll tell you this, Mike Lindell Was it just barred from Twitter?
Like, R-S-B-N?
He was being interviewed and they turned his mic off?
With all due respect, Crowder even talked about the claims Mike Lindell has made, and he's like, I'm sorry someone gave him bad information, it's just not true.
Because like a lot of the stuff Mike Lindell put out, I guess, this is what Crowder was saying, some of the counties where he claimed impropriety happened don't even use Dominion voting machines, and Crowder confirmed that.
Granted, Crowder did his own investigation where he found crazy stuff.
The government has outsourced censorship to corporations.
It's how you destroy the Constitution.
It's a scaling problem for sure.
Think about, like, the 1700s, when you had, you know, I guess, what did they have?
Flintlock pistols and muskets?
And you're walking around this small town, the buildings aren't very big, the population's not particularly dense, but you can be armed and everybody, you know, a lot of people typically were.
Well, until the Redcoats started seizing people's weapons, which, you know, led to part of the, you know, a lot of the revolution, a lot of the sentiment towards it.
But now look at Chicago, for instance.
Ridiculously dense.
Buildings everywhere.
Massive buildings.
And on every building in Chicago, there's a sign with a gun and a circle around it and a line going through it.
You can't bring weapons in here.
So, even though you have the right to bear arms, not on private property.
Now, I can respect that.
If someone's got a store, and they're like, I don't want you to come in here with a gun.
Because we've got to deal with burglars or whatever, and I don't know who I'm supposed to trust, and I don't want to deal with it.
I still haven't.
I got you too, Costco.
to the next store.
But what happens when there's one store?
What if there was only like you guys have seen idiocracy?
Yeah. So they show like so it's 500 years in the future.
Mike Judge is a genius, by the way.
And they're going to the store and it's this massive, like
multi square mile mass, you know, Costco.
And it's just, that's the future.
But what if that was the only place you could go to get resources, and they wouldn't let you speak?
Say anything?
Or bear arms?
The issue is...
Well, if I have to go into this place... Like, imagine if a private company bought all of the land in Chicago, and then if you wanted to walk into the city, you lost all your constitutional rights.
Like, that's the problem.
Because Facebook and these websites are in virtual spaces, they're getting away with doing it.
You know, Republicans weren't smart.
The Republican politicians were too stupid to do anything about it.
But I'll tell you this.
I think the Republican politicians, for the most part, are... What's the right word for it?
They're like dangling keys to keep Republicans distracted.
What was he doing, and correct me if I'm wrong, or if I'm out of turn in saying so, where was he when they were tearing down statues?
Where was he when in Wisconsin, Black Lives Matter rioters tore down a statue of Hans Christian Haag, a Civil War hero who was an abolitionist who fought to end slavery and he gave his life doing so.
And I can already hear the screams and the squeals of democratic socialists saying, but what about Republicans and the conservatives and the far right?
What annoys me about the Democratic Socialists is that I align with them pretty hard on foreign policy, and then they'll say something that makes perfect sense, and I'm like, oh wow, this person gets it, and they're a leftist, cool.
And then I read the rest of their tweets, and I'm like, oh okay, they're crazy though.
So I saw something on Reddit where it was from Bernie Sanders subreddit and it said, it was basically the meme that was like, you know, Joe Biden's dropping a lot of bombs for someone who owes me $2,000.
And I'm like, yes!
I think 85% of people in this country agree.
Stop blowing up kids and start giving out checks.
And Biden just like, I love that meme where Robotnik's just gleefully smashing the vaporized Syrians button.
So the problem, I think, there's two problems.
I do think a lot of these DSA types... You saw the meeting of the DSA that went viral.
It's like, how are you going to function in society if you're doing things like this?
But I appreciate the anti-war stuff especially.
The problem is that weird, creepy, critical theory, identity-based stuff that is just, when I see that stuff, I really just, it looks like, you know, what's, what's that, what's that fabric you use for like when you're moving stuff?
And it's like, it's just like a bunch of lint mashed together.
It's part of why I don't like the term anti-war, because I feel like it's just opposing something, rather than focusing on a new structure that war is not a part of.
You know, like, I don't know, drone delivery of food and water into orbit.
And the worrying thing about it, in my opinion, is that... I mean, dude, I think socialism is bad.
There's a big difference between social policy and socialism.
And what they do is they'll, either because a lot of their members are ignorant or because they're willfully manipulating people, they'll say, Denmark is a socialist country and look how well they're doing.
And then you're like, they're a capitalist system with a welfare structure.
But so when they say, you know, these countries are socialist and they're not, they're capitalist, and even Denmark said, Bernie, stop calling us socialists, we're not.
Bernie actually has proposed seizing the means of production.
He proposed 20% of all corporate shares being held for the employees of the company to receive dividends and bonuses and stuff like that.
And it's like, oh, okay, that's an interesting idea.
I think companies should implement that on their own, but it's one step towards we're giving 20% of the company to the people.
So owning the means of production.
Then eventually, the DSA people, they tell you they're social Democrats.
Social Democrats are the people who are like, you choose what you buy, you choose, you know, where you work, you choose where you go to school, you save your money, you buy the things you like, but you'll be taxed a lot for healthcare, for military, for police, for fire.
That's social Democrats.
That's like Scandinavian countries.
The DSA is straight up just like, seize the means of production for, you know, Xe and Xur.
So, what happens when the Democrats in Nevada, they quit, and now party leadership is all DSA?
What happens in, you know, five years, four or five years, when large swaths of the Democratic Party have been taken over by the far left?
Trump supporters are going to be like, no, no, it's not happening.
So when you have the uniparty between the corporate Dems and the corporate Republicans, this is all their fault, by the way.
They did nothing.
They extracted from the system.
They blew people up.
They milked it for all it was worth.
And it led to people getting extremely angry, which leads to right-wing populism and left-wing populism.
These two tribes are further away than the Uniparty was.
And if the establishment Dems and Republicans actually listened to the people and actually worked on things, say not bailing out big banks, like stopping them from this mass conglomeration of these banks, which made them too big to fail, which led to Occupy Wall Street, which leads to riots, and then you get a left and right version of populism.
I think Trump has already taken over the Republican Party.
It is funny, but I do think that if you end up with, and I mean it somewhat facetiously, the party of Antifa and the party of the Proud Boys, Like they're going to start boxing each other.
The problem is Bernie, I think the Democrats should be the party of Bernie and probably things would be going a lot smoother if it was, but the media was totally against it.
That this established like warmongering community wanted Hillary in and they wanted Biden in.
It's it's the way I see it is you've got this, you know, body of water flowing and instead they're trying to dam the river with sheer force immediately to stop the tide of Bernie Sanders.
Instead, they could have, you know, used controls to shift the flow and have some control over what was going on.
In October of 2019, Pennsylvania changed the voting rules for mail-in voting.
So that's like the rules were changed and there's a legal challenge as to whether or not they were allowed to do it that never got resolved.
So call it what you want, but fortifying basically means people who supported Joe Biden fortified the things that would give Joe Biden the win.
So we actually had Sean Parnell on the show.
And he was talking about mail-in voting, and I said, do you think they're doing this, you know, to like, give them an advantage?
And he said, they're doing these things because they think it will help them win.
And they're right.
I know, I know a lot of people, I was shocked to find this.
You know what was surprising to me?
There are some people who told me they're voting for Trump, and then only afterwards they admitted they voted for Biden.
There are a lot of people I know who don't care about politics.
There's this one guy I know who has no business being in politics because he is one of the dumbest people I've ever met.
He's just some skateboarder guy.
And all of a sudden now he's like ranting about things that don't make sense.
And he's like, we need a $24 minimum wage!
And I'm like, that's even more than what the people are arguing for.
They're arguing for $15.
You're like way above everybody else.
But there are articles saying this.
And the guys only become political once the election got fortified.
And they were ramping up the rhetoric and then telling everybody what for, riling them up and saying these things.
And there were a lot of people who were like, Hillary has to win.
We can't have Bernie.
Hillary has to win.
And so when you control the corporate press, I mean, we're just talking about this.
When you can lie and falsely frame things, use clever tactics, and regular people who don't pay attention are sitting in, like, their workroom, and they see on TV something where it's like, Donald Trump, you know, kicked a puppy in the face!
And it's clearly false, but they passively hear it.
And then one day, there's, like, this guy, and he's like, I'm not gonna vote for Trump.
He kicked that puppy.
And then the person goes, oh, yeah, I guess I won't.
I wouldn't do that either.
They push the fake news, the manipulation, the lies, and the narrative.
Fortify really is, I think, a good word for it.
Because I think one of the things I don't like about this idea that anybody really got cheated is just that I don't think the people who control all the corporations, the people who control massive multinational corporations, people like Zuckerberg, they don't need to, like, sneak into the backroom.
They need only drop a million bucks in the right direction.
Another area where I really agree with the left is Citizens United is bad.
I don't like the idea that people can spend endless amounts of money on super PACs and PACs.
I don't like the idea that George Soros or the Mercers or the Koch brothers or Mackenzie Bezos can be like, we're billionaires, so we can dictate the flow of information.
I don't like the idea that Michael Bloomberg goes and dumps hundreds of millions of dollars across the country to guarantee that progressives and Democrats win.
That's subverting democracy.
And he does it in the name of gun control.
So I'm like, we need to have some restrictions.
I'll tell you this.
A lot of people have said to me, but Tim, there's a limit on how much you can donate to someone.
You can only give, I think, what, $2,300 or something?
So what happens when you're Tom Steyer and you're like, okay, I can only give $2,300, but I can give $2,300 to literally every single progressive running?
Well, that's clearly going to have a major impact.
You can buy ad space.
You can buy, you know, you can buy airtime and get access that Republicans can't.
Granted, you still had, you know, I guess the Mercers were funding a lot of stuff.
Theoretically, donate $2,300 to a candidate and then make a commercial supporting the candidate and get the candidate to say, I support this message at the end of it.
And then that money that I spent on the commercial would not count towards the $2,300?
So the idea with Citizens United is that You're allowed to say whatever you want.
You have free speech.
If you want to buy ad space and say you like a candidate, you're allowed to do it.
Now, fundamentally, I do agree with that right to free speech.
If I want to buy a commercial where I explain why I like a certain candidate, I should be allowed to do it.
This is where the challenge comes in.
The reason why I don't have a real solution for this problem is that, so what?
So what?
I have this big show, and I can talk about why Tulsi Gabbard is so great, giving her massive press and attention, but you, Ian, you know, you don't have that show, so you don't get to do that.
That's why Citizens United basically stood, because it's like, well, it's not fair that someone who has access to the media gets to dictate and other people don't.
I was reading a little bit about it goes back to like the I think the 1800s when they used to kind of keep money out of politics like explicitly they were really anti like they didn't want to pay.
I think Ben Franklin didn't want to pay Congress people at all.
But one guy was running for I think president and was like, why can't I use my own money to pay for my I want to take the train around the country and spend all my money.
And they were like, yeah, that's a good point.
It's your money.
You should be able to do whatever you want with it.
So he used it to fund his campaign.
And that was kind of the precedent for billionaires.
So it's an issue of experience, knowledge, and wisdom.
And I am being, I don't want to say stereotypical, but I think it's fair to say that somebody who is 20 is typically going to have more life experience than a 16-year-old.
Not always true, actually.
You know, like I had my first job when I was a little kid in my family's business.
And I didn't go to high school, and I meet people who haven't had jobs and they're 26.
Right. But the issue wasn't it wasn't clear cut back then because
there were a half million people who joined the America First Committee,
which was opposition to And what Dr. Seuss was fighting was the isolationist views of Americans, because a lot of Americans were isolationists after World War I. They were still grieving people.
They were still suffering effects of having been in the war.
They didn't want to go into another war.
And so they had to make it seem like all these people were racist and And that's what Dr. Seuss did.
I'll tell you though, there's a real challenge with, in my opinion, with World War II, because as much as I think what we're doing in the Middle East is complete garbage and trash, and I love the Abraham Accords.
If we didn't intervene in World War II, a strong possibility, I guess it's fairly likely to say, Nazis would have won.
And then all of these horrifying things they were doing would have persisted.
And so, with that in mind, I look at what China is doing now, and I feel much the same way.
But again, see, here's the thing, here's the real test.
As much as I can be like, well, look, I wasn't alive during World War II, I can certainly understand why it was good that we went in and stormed the beaches of Normandy, D-Day, surrounded Germany, shut down Hitler.
Now I look at China and I'm like, it's real now.
It's not looking back in a history book.
Now there's actually a question of, Tim, are you saying you would support a military intervention into China to stop their concentration camps?
And I'm like, wow.
Because what I think people need to realize is we can look back at what happened in World War II and think it's so easy to make that choice because we know we won.
Now we're looking at China, and we're looking at the concentration camps, and there's the real consideration of, we don't know what will happen.
It could be all-out nuclear annihilation between everybody.
Yeah, Sidney Blumenthal, her friend, Sid, according to Hillary, with his Osprey Global Solutions weapons manufacturing company to arm the new American-backed rebellion.
Like, just total arms running to make money, a profiteer off this war.
Like I was saying, we look back on World War II and we're like, of course it was great, but we know we won.
What if we lose?
What if we lost?
Now we're looking at China and these concentration camps and many of us are saying, they can't be doing this.
What do we do to stop it?
And the first thing I'll say is, Where is any politician to be screaming in the Senate chamber, the United States should cut off business with China while they're operating concentration camps?
Instead, what do we get?
Well, Democrats view them as partners.
As partners.
Disney says thank you to the paramilitary who is operating concentration camps.
And we need our president to demand that Congress pass legislation saying the U.S.
But isn't it better that we go from an economic approach and say, we're not going to start a conflict where we're killing each other, but you have to stop concentration camps?
I mean, if we if we it's remarkable to me that we are a country that in the midst of a pandemic with a massive economic collapse, we gave away like hundreds of hundreds of millions of dollars to foreign countries.
It's like, yo, a bunch of people are like out of work and going to be evicted.
dollars being sent to these foreign countries, they get spent on American stuff.
So instead of giving money to an American citizen, they give money to a foreign government who then contracts and says, now do work for us, to the American citizen.
Then your politician gave money that you paid into to a different country.
That country then orders something from America.
They can use the dollars.
Maybe it's oil.
Or maybe it's like some software manufacturing or service in America.
So now here you are as the American citizen, being told you have to do work for, say, you know, like Yemen, because they receive, you know, military aid or something.
And you're like, I'm so desperate for work, my government didn't give me a stimulus check.
And then you hear some foreign corporation is hiring people to do a certain job, and you're like, oh, please give me work.
The government gave your money away to someone else, and then told you to go work for them.
That's nuts to me.
Because that's what they'll do with that money.
Admittedly, I think they'll mostly buy oil with it, because the petrodollar, if they want to, you know, buy oil, they've got to trade in that.
But there are a lot of, like, what can you really do with U.S.
dollars?
There are many countries that aren't America that actually use the U.S.
dollars, their official currency.
It's true.
And some, many countries actually will accept dollars because it is valuable.
But for the most part, dollars are good in America with American citizens to buy goods from Americans and services from Americans.
So that money being given away basically just means you will do work For other countries, while your business, your livelihood was completely destroyed by these politicians.
We are being extracted.
They are ripping away the wealth.
And I don't mean... A lot of people on the left, this is frustrating, think wealth means wealthy, rich.
Wealth means, like, your accumulated resources.
Your wealth could be a $100 bill in your pocket.
I just mean, like, your resources, your money, your access, your hard assets, your currency, your liquid assets.
They're stripping that away from you, devaluing it, and giving it away to foreign governments.
I mean, look, that's why I'm saying it's going to get real interesting with the Democrats quitting and the Democratic Socialists moving in.
Left and right populists disagreeing a lot.
Many of them absolutely hate and despise each other.
But they all really hate the establishment, and they all are basically screaming, That's a lot of missiles you're firing off for somebody who owes me $2,000!
And it sure is.
Everybody can see it.
The establishment has lost control of this, so there's some optimism in that, whereas perhaps this leads to the corrupt establishment falling apart and then a new wave of people who actually care about the people come in.
But then there's concern that it leads to just chaos, you know, and things are gonna get really, really bad.
Like we were talking with Ben Stewart about how 2028 is supposed to be the end of the winter period, where we're in absolute chaos and conflict.
The end of the last conflict was the end of World War II.
So quite literally, up until the point where people are killing each other and bombs are dropping and all this crazy stuff's going on, Dresden's happening.
Then finally, when we declare we win, that was the start of the spring.
So we're supposed to be getting into the worst of it in the next seven years.
Like the reason we, we went in, well, I guess it was, it was when Hawaii got bombed, when Pearl Harbor got bombed, but really when Hitler invaded Poland is when the world was like, Oh, whoops.
And went and declared war on Germany, like Britain, France, they all declared war on Germany after they invaded.
And then Hitler, they gave him the Sudetenland, which was part of Poland that used to be Germany before the Treaty of Versailles, World War I, actually took part of Germany and gave it to Poland.
Apparently the Polish government was executing Germans.
They were like, this is Polish land now.
It was really horrible.
So Hitler was like, that's reason for me to invade.
And they gave him the Sudetenland and Neville Chamberlain.
Now it's good.
He's not going to do anything crazy.
Then they invaded Poland.
And that was when Britain and France declared war on Germany.
And then Germany was like, ha ha ha.
And they drove all these tanks into France through the Ardennes Forest.
Yeah, France had this Maginot Line, this giant defensive line, prepared this impenetrable line, but they didn't put it through the forest of the Ardennes.
They were like, they can't get through there.
But Germany had the tanks.
It was new technology, the unexpected technology, the blitzkrieg.
And China, you know, that's the thing about going to war is the unexpected technology.
Yeah, if we truly, like, it's a good point you were saying about unexpected consequences.
If right now we all got, you know, righteously indignant and said we must stop the concentration camps in China, and then all of a sudden Xi Jinping is flying around in a Gundam wing, like full mech suit, with like a giant sword, and we're like...
Oh, man, what have we done?
We can't stop that.
We don't know what kind of weapons they're using, cyber attacks.
Many people believe, and I'm not going to pretend to know all this stuff, but there's something called industrial control systems.
And I talked to a lot of people who believe all the governments basically are in a Mexican standoff where they've infected the industrial control systems of other countries and could flick a switch and just take out all their water pumps and their oil refineries and electrical grid instantly.
So build a double Faraday cage in your basement, store all your goods.
So you build a Faraday cage and then you put a microwave in it and then you put your stuff in the microwave because microwaves are also a Faraday cage.
They've got these nuclear batteries where they store nuclear waste in glass, carbon glass, and it just produces massive amounts of, like, I don't know what kind of heat energy.
So those would defy, I would imagine.
But then you've got to capture the energy, obviously.
The bombs we dropped on Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the bombs we have today are, I believe, 1,250 times more powerful than the bombs we actually used.
So when you see, you know, the footage of these tests or whatever, you have no idea What one ICBM can do, because we've never actually seen it used on a civilian population.
We've seen the first, I think, the atomic bomb that we used was a gravity bomb.
We just dropped it from a plane.
Now we have intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The Multiple Independently Targeting Reentry Vehicle, the MIRV.
It goes up into the stratosphere and then drops eight to twelve warheads and then peppers just...
We might get some righteous indignation and we're like, we must end what's going on in China.
So we we might get some, you know, righteous indignation and we're like we must end what's going on in China
And like I said, I know it's silly to say Xi Jinping in a giant Gundam wing mobile suit or whatever
But they might come out with you know, sonic weapons EMP weapons
Uh, you know, we heard about that story about the Havana Syndrome, where they're using some kind of directed energy weapon to, like, make people... This is scary stuff.
So I don't know if this is confirmed now, wasn't it?
When I was an audio engineer, I remember we had a huge long conversation with another producer about how certain frequencies can make you lose control of your bowels and stuff.
She has the sick stick, where when she pokes the girls with it, they start vomiting and crapping their pants.
Well, so there's actually... So they claim, we didn't test them out, but it's shaped like a gun, but it's a round strobe light, a bunch of LEDs in different colors, that when you point it at someone and flash, it makes them physically nauseous, and if you hold it for, I think, like 10 seconds, they'll start throwing up.
So they were pitched as crowd control weapons, I don't know if they use them, or I don't know if it's legit.
There's also the Dazzler, which is a directed energy weapon.
It's a high-powered laser, and what you do is you hold it in someone's face and you click it, and it blinds them for 30 seconds.
So it's a high-powered laser, and the way it was described to me is like, you know when you look at a bright light, and then you see there's like a spot there for a second?
Imagine if your entire field of vision was that, and all you could see was that weird spot, but it was everything.
You're blind.
And then you have to wait for your eyes to, like, you know, come back and, like, start seeing again?
That's what dazzlers do.
They hold it and click it in your face, and then you're blind, and they use them in the Middle East.
Directed energy weapons are serious business, man.
And I do believe that... Look, I think China is absolutely fanning the flames of the culture war, because we are on the verge of ripping each other's throats off in this country.
We had an article from the Epoch Times saying secession, like it's time to talk about legitimate separation of the states.
You've got, I mean, Luke and Michael Mouse on the show have been like, maybe we need a peaceful divorce
before things get crazy.
And I don't even think, I know a lot of people on the left, whenever they hear this, they immediately say like,
you're fanning the flames.
I'm like, it was John Podesta who told the, I think he spoke at the Boston Globe
or it was related to the Boston Globe.
He had advised West Coast states to secede, or I'm sorry, he had said,
it is better that West Coast states secede if Donald Trump wins.
It is like, you know, you know, you know, I mentioned, I mentioned a couple, like last week, a lot of people like, uh, Bill Maher, man, does he get it wrong?
He was like, we can't have a civil war.
I think it was Bill Maher.
It's like the Mason-Dixon line would go through Nana's kitchen.
It can't happen.
And it's like, what makes you think it would be a replica of what happened 170 or 160 years ago?
Hans Christian Hegg was not even American, and he was an abolitionist.
I think he wasn't American.
He may have become American, but he was an abolitionist who fought for the Union because slavery was wrong and must be ended.
It was the North saying, we will end slavery and the South saying, get out of here, we can do what we want.
Like, you know, we have our rights.
Our states will operate as we want.
You have no right to come in.
And the North being like, for one, you're not going to destroy the union.
You have no right to do it.
And you had people fighting a moral battle over slavery.
There's no moral battle today.
If right now we're hearing from Democrats, yeah, well, if Republican states leave, then they're going to suffer because their blue states subsidize the red states.
So if right now, I think if you actually had a legitimate like question between the factions, like an Antifa leftist or an establishment Democrat, how would you feel if a red state decided to leave the union?
They'd probably mostly be like, good.
Good riddance, I guess.
And if you ask Republicans, they'd probably be like, yeah, absolutely.
Bye.
There's no moral battle.
Like you're not going to see establishment Democrats being like, we must preserve the union.
You're not gonna see it.
I mean, you might see corporate establishment warmonger types being like, we must preserve the military-industrial complex!
I can see if China started a splinter like that, if, like, different areas of China started to go independent, that would be, like, maybe the end of the Communist Party.
And there would be a lot more willingness to maybe become militarily active against China.
So I would imagine if it happened in the U.S., the same thing.
and uh yeah a lot of stuff to come so uh thank you all so much for i mean we already have a whole bunch of super chats for everybody how you know giving stuff it's presumably for my birthday because they all say happy birthday you filthy animal you look good for 40 and things like that but uh thank you guys so much for the birthday wishes and the like button smashing everybody's smashing the like button now see normally on the show i'm like smash the like button like A hundred people will do it.
Now it's like a thousand jumped instantly.
All right, it's your birthday.
I'll give you a like button now just because it's your birthday.
You know, what's crazy is like when, like I'm 35 and I'm thinking back to like my twenties and my teens and I'm like, it really is interesting how when I was like, I'm like, man, I've been skating for like 22, I've been skateboarding for like 22 years.
Because in the movie, awesome movie, Samuel L. Jackson plays a villain who says that humans, he says humans are like a virus and the planet is warming.
It's a fever to kill off the virus.
I just find it really interesting that you have that.
And so the villain basically decides he wants to cull human beings and only the chosen elites will be allowed to survive to heal the planet.
So now we have the World Economic Forum saying the world is healing while quite literally a pandemic decimates, you know, populations around the world and destroys people's lives.
They're like, it's healing!
It's like, define healing.
You see how they view it.
This is important.
When they say the world is healing, They're not talking about people.
And so it's a really scary thing when people prioritize objects and possessions and other things outside of human beings.
So look, I'll be the first to say it.
I asked this of Alex Jones.
What if they're right?
The world is on fire and about to end and we must take dramatic action.
Like, what if we are leading ourselves to ultimate destruction?
And he said, it's a good question I think about every day, you know, it's a challenge.
But I guess if you don't believe in the authoritarianism of these liars and kleptocrats, people who we have caught lying and manipulating us, then we have to just defend freedom, liberty for the individual.
I don't trust them.
They're buying beachfront property and flying on private planes.
They're like legit little houses for chickens to like walk into and do their chicken thing.
And, uh, so it's like, we have like, I think there's three, there's like two or three little chicken houses and then like one chicken community center.
And so, you know, we're going to set it up and then we're going to double layer protect it from predators.
No, I think it's a good idea I do think it's a good idea for us to get a computer and set up the live chicken city camp You'll have one chicken city cam like big one and then you'll have one in the house so they can see the house cam when they sleep I watch the weirdest stuff on YouTube.
You can also put string going above any fencing that you have and the hawks and stuff will see it and know not to go in it because their wingspans are too big.
Interesting.
If they see things that are impeding their flight, they won't go in.
So a lot of farmers, I watch Homestead videos literally all day every day, but yeah, they put string across the top of the fencing.
We're gonna have to probably hire on, like, a one-time chicken whisperer who can, like, tell us, like, here's how you set up the food and the water, and here's how you keep it clean, and here's what you should buy, and here's what you set up.
When the chickens are like angry or whatever and they, you know, pecking at us, they can like whisper the coos and the chickens would like fall in line and then start calling orders.
And people don't realize you get sunburned, you know?
So I was with Luke, we were in Belfast during bonfire night or whatever, and they have like, how tall are these things, like dozens of feet tall or like 50 to 100 feet or some ridiculous number, and this huge fire is raging, it burns into the ground, and you're standing far away, and it's a white blinding light, and you can feel the heat, and it's like, You point a camera at it, and it just, like, blows the camera out.
So I already mentioned, we're planning on doing a Crime, Cults, Mysteries, and Paranormal podcast.
So it's gonna be, I don't know, it's like, it's like these subject matters are kind of just like something about like a darkness around the world, like, you know.
Cause like everybody's gotten every name ever, you know, reminds me of like Saturday Night Live when they were like, I don't actually, I can't tell the joke because I think YouTube wouldn't allow it, but they basically made a joke about how there's no domains left.
And so it was a really awful domain for a business.
And we'll just leave it at that.
Cause I'll get in trouble.
Some people might know the joke, but YouTube will probably get mad at me if I say it.
Hefty Fine says, just a super chat simping for Cassandra.
That's how long, okay, so that's how long it takes me to judge before I should click over, because I'm the one that pushes the button that ends the show.
I think Xuan had made a joke about it, where she was like, men used to look like this, and then she points to Hasan, and it's like him with his shirt off, taking a picture in the mirror.
And then she's like, now they look like this, and it's crowded, just like a woman.
Like, there was that guy who did a parody of, like, a CPAC speech the other day, and he's a leftist, and I thought it was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
I was cracking up, and it's really corny, but, like, it was so good.
I remember I was reading about when she joined Star Trek, and she apparently reached out to the producer, or she told her agent, like, get me on Star Trek!
And they were like, no, no, no, you don't want to be on this show.
She's like, yes, I do.
And they're like, no, really?
You're so much bigger.
You're a movie star.
And she insisted, so they got her the recurring role.
Which resulted in the Klingons never signing a peace treaty with I can't believe I'm forgetting the Kittimer Accords.
She's never signing the Kittimer Accords, and Guinan was the one because she's like an age-old being who realized the time shift, the timeline shifted, and then helped put it back to normal.
That was a cool episode.
Star Trek's so good.
I know too much about Star Trek.
Not enough, though.
I'm not the biggest Trekkie.
But, dude, I really love that one.
So, like, for those that aren't familiar, basically, the Klingons and the Federation were at war.
In this timeline where they never signed the peace treaty, the Khitomer Accords, essentially, the Federation's on the verge of being wiped out.
Humanity is going to be totally destroyed.
But what had happened in the original Star Trek timeline, because the Klingons were bad guys in the original series, is that the Federation answered a distress signal because another alien race, the Romulans, I believe, were wiping out a colony of, like, women, children, and families.
And a Federation ship sacrificed itself trying to save the Klingons, which the Klingons are very much about honor and power and pride and all that stuff, and they were like, it was very honorable what you did, and that led to this peace treaty.
It's great writing.
But you know why I talk about, you know why I bring this up?
Because it makes me sad to watch modern creative content, like modern TV shows and stuff.
It's just so dry, so generic, so boring, so repetitive, so blockbuster-y explosions, and it's just like, give me a good story.
There was this crazy thing I saw on Reddit where it was like, apparently there's a photo of some little kid when he was like five and behind him in the background, there's like a little girl playing.
And then like two decades later, they ended up meeting.
And then it wasn't until like they ended up getting married and it wasn't until they were going through like family albums that they were like, Hey, you know, I was there too.
But so like in core skateboarding culture, like you could be making a six figure salary as a skateboarder and they don't consider you pro until you get like a signature board.
So it's kind of dumb because it's always like you'd meet people and it's like, what do you do for a living?
It's like, I skateboard professionally.
And you're like, oh, for what company?
Oh no, no, no.
I own like a school where we teach people how to skate and we film videos and then we sell them to families.
It's like, so professionally I skateboard and produce content, but you're not jumping off buildings and winning, you know, going to the Olympics or the X games or something, you know?
