you you | |
| you Joe Biden press conference finally happened, and I have to | ||
| wonder how much anyone really It was exactly as we thought it would be. | ||
| He gaffed, he said some really weird things, his brain stopped working halfway through, and then the media came out and defended him. | ||
| And so I guess we're going to end up talking a little bit about this, but we'll talk a bit more about some other cultural, political issues. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| You guys know who Emily Ratajkowski is, I think her name is? | ||
| She's in that video. | ||
| She's that model and she always just gets naked. | ||
| She has this article where she talks about how she despises the fact that her baby is a white man | ||
| and that she looks at her husband sleeping in his bed and she just hates him | ||
| because he's a white man sleeping peacefully. | ||
| We got some stuff to talk about. We'll definitely get into it. | ||
| Apparently, Disney Plus, I guess The Mandalorian's ratings tanked. | ||
| That's what they're reporting now, because after they kicked off Gina Carano. | ||
| And they're accusing her of saying a bunch of things she didn't say. | ||
| So we're gonna go through this stuff, and we'll start with good ol' Joe Biden, what's going on with him, because this is actually pretty funny. | ||
| Joining us today, of course, is none other than The Quartering. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| Glad to be here. | ||
| Really, really glad to be in the Beanie, multi-million dollar Beanie compound with not one, but two skate parks and just a lot of, a lot of interesting things around here. | ||
| I'm glad to be here. | ||
| A lot of weird stuff. | ||
| Like the hour pillow over there, a burlap sack with packing peanuts in it. | ||
| Look, I thought that was a... I thought this was like a gift bag item. | ||
| I get to take that, right? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| We can make you one. | ||
| We can make you an official art pillow bag. | ||
| You can make me one. | ||
| I love how you mentioned the beanie camp, because there was that smear piece, I won't get too much into, where they're like, you know, people are scared to go to Tim Pool's house because he has guns. | ||
| And I'm like, we have a guest every single day. | ||
| I'm scared. | ||
| They're right. | ||
| They're everywhere. | ||
| I went to the bathroom. | ||
| There was one in the toilet. | ||
| In the... yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's just, like, in there. | ||
| The toilet was the gun. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he almost said it, and we were like, whoa, whoa, that's actually not a toilet. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I didn't know. | ||
| They've come a long way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're, like, walking down the stairs, and then there's, like, a latch right above, and you pull it, and it's just a... it's like... it's like watching one of those action movies with Bruce Willis, you know, and there's, like, guns hidden everywhere. | ||
| Well, you must have got a lot of money invested in razor wire, too, because there's some serious security around here. | ||
| The hyenas, I think, are really keeping this place safe. | ||
| They're cute. | ||
| The hyenas everywhere. | ||
| Well, we don't feed them so that they're particularly ravenous. | ||
| That way, stay away from my house. | ||
|
unidentified

| We don't expect anybody to break into our homes, but we still lock our doors and our windows. | ||

| So thank you all so much. | ||
| Don't forget also go over to timcast.com, become a member because we got a bunch of | ||
| exclusive members only podcast segments. | ||
| We had Aaron Berg yesterday, and he had some pretty offensive jokes. | ||
| And so we're like, we'll keep the ones that are particularly dangerous for YouTube and put it on the private platform. | ||
| So if you want to hear ridiculous conversations, offensive comedy, we also got a bunch of segments that are much more serious. | ||
| We've got talk about God and DMT and politics. | ||
| Just, we have a big library. | ||
| We got a new website launching soon, an upgrade, and we're going to try and sort these episodes by different topics so that you can actually go in and, as a member, get access to this full library of content that's always going to be there for you as a member. | ||
| And also, don't forget, like, share, subscribe to this YouTube channel and this podcast. | ||
| If you are listening on iTunes or Spotify, leave us a good review. | ||
| We really do appreciate it because it really, really helps. | ||
| And share the show because that's the only way we really grow. | ||
| But special shout-out to everybody who's a member, because you guys, you gotta understand right now, viewership is down across the board for every major media company, ad rates are down for every single media company, and your membership really helps this company function, helps us keep doing this show, and we're gonna be expanding. | ||
| I'm talking to some of these comedians about doing series, like comedy shows, to bring back that edgy, offensive comedy. | ||
| It's not too ridiculous and over-the-top, but like how it used to be before everybody got scared and woke, right? | ||
| But with all that being said, let's jump in! | ||
| Wait a minute, wait a minute. | ||
| You know where my head just went right there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where'd your head go? | |
| Where? | ||
| You guys are all old enough, I think. | ||
| Maybe Lydia isn't. | ||
| Remember Wayne's World, where Danikari's sitting back in his hockey gear with the Reebok stuff and he's like... | ||
| Man, it's like people only do stuff because they get paid. | ||
| Yeah, it's true. | ||
| Well, look, if we want to keep this show running, then membership has become the core function of this business. | ||
| I mean, YouTube's unreliable. | ||
| People are getting purged. | ||
| Ad rates and viewership's going down for everybody. | ||
| But I want to create something that is its own brand, that you come to this website, kind of like, you know, our own smaller independent version of a Disney Plus or a Hulu. | ||
| So I'm actually talking to some comedians. | ||
| With less slave labor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Well, actually, none. | ||
| Zero? | ||
| Zero. | ||
| Only robots. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| We've actually found a way to not have slavery. | ||
| Like, you know, Disney couldn't figure it out, but we did. | ||
| So, uh, so yeah. | ||
| But the plan is we want to do movies. | ||
| We want to do short films. | ||
| We want to do comedy. | ||
| We want to do action, adventure and stuff. | ||
| And maybe that's what we're literally working on. | ||
| We're talking about doing a paranormal podcast next. | ||
| And we're actually starting the process of looking through some of the people who emailed us for jobs. | ||
| And we're going to do ghosts, paranormal, weird, wacky, wild UFOs and stuff. | ||
| So we're going to start expanding next as a podcast, but then we're going to start looking at documentary series and things like that. | ||
| So that's all thanks to you guys, you wonderful members. | ||
| Powered by membership. | ||
| Have you done a membership service yet? | ||
| I do. | ||
| I just started one. | ||
| And yeah, it is. | ||
| I mean, I kid, but it is super important. | ||
| Yeah, even like the small membership is infinitely more helpful than even YouTube ad rev. | ||
| So, yeah, I mean, if you're not already backing me and you have a few extra dollars, I would recommend considering going. | ||
| We're going to build something massive in five years. | ||
| In five years, I think we'll be I'll just I'll keep I'll keep I'll keep some some some humility for a second. | ||
| But no, like, I think we're going we're going places. | ||
| I think so, too. | ||
| I mean, we have the architecture of minds behind it. | ||
| It's so much is already in place. | ||
| We've got a lot of stuff we're gonna make. | ||
| We've got a lot of people who are interested in doing it. | ||
| The opportunity is there. | ||
| And because we have these members supporting us, we have the ability to do things these big networks can't do because they're scared of losing advertisers. | ||
| We're not. | ||
| But let's make fun of Joe Biden! | ||
| Come on! | ||
| My friends, you may have seen the press conference with Joe Biden. | ||
| It was particularly boring. | ||
| He called mostly on favorable press. | ||
| He didn't ask a single, uh, he didn't, he didn't ask a single conservative, you know, to speak at this, at this press conference. | ||
| And he had your very obvious guests. | ||
| At one point, someone asked him a question about how to solve problems. | ||
| And he's like, you know, we got to do, we got to work on is very in, uh, okay. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| And it was just basically shot for shot. | ||
| That's that's exactly how I remember it. | ||
| Just stop. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I was like, Whoa, like the dude just stopped talking dead. | ||
| And then like his brain just, just misfired. | ||
| And what's funny is all of these journalists started saying like they were defending him. | ||
| So I put out these very, um, powerful and profound tweets where I was like, Joe | ||
| Biden's strength is exactly what we need. | ||
| He is the champion we elected. | ||
| I'm like, the dude literally just stopped talking because his brain didn't work. | ||
| And there are actually journalists defending him, but you know who isn't defending him? | ||
| Kamala Harris. | ||
| Snopes. | ||
| Oh, what'd they say? | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| They did get him. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| They got him. | ||
| They got him, yeah. | ||
| From Snopes, fact check. | ||
| Now, hold on. | ||
| There's a lot of people who might not understand the context of why it's funny that Snopes is fact checking this. | ||
| It's because, like, Snopes fact checks the stupidest way possible. | ||
| There'll be a story, right? | ||
| Let's say, you know, Jeremy, one day, you know, you're the host of The Quartering and you do cultural commentary. | ||
| So there's a lot of lefties. | ||
| They don't like you. | ||
| Let's say one day you ran into a burning building and saved a box of puppies. | ||
| And with a great risk to yourself. | ||
| And then everyone starts congratulating you. | ||
| As they should. | ||
| Snopes is the kind of outlet that would say, did Jeremy Hambly actually run into a burning building to save puppies? | ||
| Were the puppies actually racist? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| They'll say, did Jeremy Hambly actually run into a house to save a box of small puppies? | ||
| While wearing Nikes. | ||
| And then they'll say false. | ||
| And then they'll say, while it's true he did run in the burning building to save the puppies, he wasn't in fact wearing those shoes. | ||
| That way what they do is, the headline has the big false next to it. | ||
| They add something to the story that makes the whole story false even though it's 99% true. | ||
| Snopes does that? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| There was one recently, I can't remember what it was. | ||
| It was like, did, oh yeah, I remember. | ||
| Did Ocasio-Cortez exaggerate her, you know, her fear from the Capitol? | ||
| False. | ||
| While she wasn't in the building when the storming happened, and she was in a different building at a different time, she did say, like, it's like, they just play that game, right? | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| Did Biden say, I came into the US Senate 120 years ago? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's 1901. | |
| I believe it. | ||
| I believe it. | ||
| You're telling me that's not true? | ||
| Well, so well, no, no, Snope says it's true. | ||
| The remark in question came during his first news conference of the new administration, rating True! | ||
| Joe Biden said, with regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to the position of the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago. | ||
| You know what I love about this though? | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| This is what they say. | ||
| You see how they defend this guy? | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| We have this tweet here. | ||
| or simply making a joke. | ||
| You see how they defend this guy? | ||
| How they, oh, look at this. | ||
| We have this tweet here. | ||
| If he misspoke. | ||
| Zach Smith on Twitter, who just seems to be a regular guy, noticed this trend and Lydia | ||
| noticed this as well. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He tweeted, I like how Twitter is saying that Biden was joking about him saying he's been | ||
| in the Senate for 120 years. | ||
| Biden smiles when he jokes. | ||
| He said that with a stern face. | ||
| He really thinks he's been in the Senate for 120 years and Twitter is trying to tell you he was joking. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| United States Trends. | ||
| It says, Senate 120, in his bid to bring back the former filibuster format, President Biden jokingly said, we should go back to a position of the filibuster that existed just when I came into the Senate 120 years ago. | ||
| It wasn't a joke. | ||
| There was no joke. | ||
| Like a joke would be like, if he was like, he would have said something like, oh geez, you know, back when I came in, we didn't even have the filibuster. | ||
| Cause that was what? | ||
| 200 years ago. | ||
| I'm kidding. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm kidding. | |
| But you know what I mean? | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| It's a joke. | ||
| You know, he wasn't joking. | ||
| How is he joking? | ||
| Well, it was like, I've been in the Senate for a long time, ha ha ha. | ||
| But 120 years is a specific number. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It's just a bad joke. | ||
| He would have been like, you know, we could go back to the way the filibuster was when I went in, you know, 100 plus years ago, and then it would have been like, ha ha, you know, that fell flat. | ||
| It's impossible, hear me out, that Joe Biden may be A vampire. | ||
| He may actually be 140? | ||
| If he was a vampire he could theoretically be 500. | ||
| That would imply that he got bitten when he was in his 70s. | ||
| That's unfortunate. | ||
| Because you know when you turn into a vampire you stay the same age forever? | ||
| That's a bummer. | ||
| I was thinking yesterday if you eat meat and you think you're not a vampire That is. | ||
| Good point. | ||
| We're not drinking blood, dude. | ||
| You don't, like, grab the pig and drink its blood or something. | ||
| There's blood in that meat. | ||
| You don't? | ||
| Look, look. | ||
| You don't? | ||
| I tweeted. | ||
| I tweeted when I saw this. | ||
| I was like, all across the country, lizard people conspiracy theorists spit their doers onto their screen and were like, I knew it! | ||
| First thing I thought. | ||
| Yeah, but he's not going to actually say Joe Biden's an immortal lizard person, you know what I mean? | ||
| Highlander. | ||
| How could you know that? | ||
| Is he trolling us? | ||
| Has Biden been trolling us this whole time? | ||
| He's going to troll you in the chocolate factory? | ||
| I can see it. | ||
| He walks forward in the press conference and falls down and then springs up. | ||
| Because we already think he falls. | ||
| We're afraid that he's going to get hurt. | ||
| That was a joke I was making during the campaign that Joe Biden was only pretending to be incapable of doing his job so that, you know, like throughout the debates, he's fumbling and stumbling and struggling to walk and slipping. | ||
| And then finally, when it comes to the final debate with Trump, he staggers out, falls down, but then springs up like Willy Wonka and stuns the whole world. | ||
| And that gives him the new cycle, so he wins. | ||
| The only problem is he's won and he's still doing it. | ||
| So that theory is out the window. | ||
| It's the long play, man. | ||
| Did you see they were already asking him if he's going to rerun? | ||
| He's been the president for like a month. | ||
| I'm like, are you going to rerun? | ||
| He's like, well, of course. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| As a quote, if you run again, will you take Campbell Harris? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like he's been the president for like a month and a half and they're already like, no, but here's the funny thing. | ||
| Can we replace you with the funny thing about this press conference? | ||
| When I think it was, I don't remember who asked him if he was going to run again. | ||
| He said it was his expectation. | ||
| How was it even a consideration? | ||
| Every president, like going back decades, has run for a second term. | ||
| Go make a hundred plus years or whatever. | ||
| They've always tried to get, since FDR I guess, that's when we got the two-term limit. | ||
| But they've always said, I'll run for re-election. | ||
| You don't always win. | ||
| He's a big believer in fate. | ||
| He's a big believer in fate. | ||
| And he's willing it to be. | ||
| What I'm saying is, think about how weird it is. | ||
| We're at a point where we're arguing about whether or not he will run when every other president did. You know what I mean? The fact that Biden is actually | ||
| in this position where it's questionable whether he will is scary to us. The dude was talking and | ||
| then just stopped and then went, whatever. Dude, he's haggard. He's like, he lost. He just | ||
| like just lost it. And now they're like, are you going to run for president again? | ||
| You know what the journalists are actually asking him. | ||
| Are you okay? | ||
| Are you going to pass the torch? | ||
| No, they're saying, are you okay? | ||
| Like the dude just gaffed in ridiculous ways. | ||
| And they were like, are you going to run for office again? | ||
| They asked him in that same conference. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, multiple ways too. | ||
| It was funny. | ||
| Yeah, it was really insulting and I loved it. | ||
| I don't think I've seen a president on a podium with more notes. | ||
| First of all, I don't know what's on them, but every reporter that came up, in my opinion, my guess is it was the reporter, their political background, exactly what question they're going to ask, and the answer. | ||
| because I agree who's next no no okay so and so and then put it down so we already know that | ||
| reporters were complaining Jen Psaki who's the the press secretary that's that's a right press | ||
| secretary yeah that's correct she had requested questions in advance so when Biden's like looking | ||
| through his folder and he goes oh we got here um Janet It was bad. | ||
| And then he's looking down, she asks the question, and then he goes, | ||
| wait one second, and then he like folds the paper and goes, we got a fight and like he's got the answers written down. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| Yeah, it was bad. | ||
| It was very obvious. | ||
| And you know what's reading it off and whatever was on that paper. | ||
| I think when he just was talking someone asked him a question. | ||
| He tried. | ||
| I think that's when he tried. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, here he is, he's got all the answers in front of him, and they're going, just stick to the prompter. | ||
| Stick to the prompter. | ||
| Reminds me of, uh, uh, Iron Man. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| At the end of the movie? | ||
| When they're like, just stick to the cards. | ||
| And then he, like, stops and looks down. | ||
| I am Iron Man. | ||
| Like, Joe Biden tried to do that, but he doesn't have, like, the wherewithal to actually say words without a card in front of him or a teleprompter. | ||
| So he's like, they're like, just stick to the cards, and he goes, Come on, man! | ||
| He had a couple of those really awkward meltdowns. | ||
| I know there's more in the press conference we want to talk about, but the one that really stuck out to me was the one that ended it. | ||
| He was talking and then he just like shut down and he's like, all right, that's it. | ||
| And then just like left the stage. | ||
| I was like, somebody, it was like, somebody got in his ear like, all right, Joe, time to go to bed. | ||
| Sun's getting low now. | ||
| The Black Widow walks in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It starts getting real low, Joe! | |
| So, uh, no, it was actually kind of funny when he ended it. | ||
| He just, like, he's not with it, man. | ||
| He was like, alright, but now I'm gonna go, thanks. | ||
| And then just turns and walks off. | ||
| Just walked away. | ||
| It was like he pooped his pants. | ||
| He didn't know what else to say. | ||
| So he's like, I gotta get out of here. | ||
| And he just ran off the stage. | ||
| Didn't that happen with Nadler? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He like wobbled away or something and people were like, what just happened to that dude? | |
| I don't know if that's a true story. | ||
| It's pretty obviously a load. | ||
| All right. | ||
| But let's, let's, let's talk about political bias real quick. | ||
| Cause we have this tweet that Lydia pulled up from Jennifer Rubin. | ||
| And do you know who she is? | ||
| She's a Washington Post columnist and she's supposedly a conservative, but she only ever praises Democrats. | ||
| And I'm like, Oh, there's one of those on every network though, and there's one, you know. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| So she tweets this story, opinion, Biden excels at his first news conference. | ||
| The media embarrassed themselves. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| The media embarrassed themselves? | ||
| First of all, I've been saying that for four years. | ||
| Yeah, first of all. | ||
| So finally, thanks for joining the club. | ||
| But come on, listen. | ||
| I got no problem criticizing Trump if he deserves to be criticized when he was president. | ||
| The problem was people like Rubin and the media apparatus and these corporate powerful interests were like, you know, Trump walks out on stage and waves and they're like, Trump literally just did a Nazi salute. | ||
| It's like, he's just, he's waving to the crowd. | ||
| Dude, chill out. | ||
| That didn't happen. | ||
| Now you have Joe Biden. | ||
| And I said, it was boring. | ||
| It wasn't the apocalypse, but he did have these gaffes. | ||
| We expected them. | ||
| And now they're like, no, it was the best conference ever. | ||
| And it's the media's fault. | ||
| These people have their noses so far up Joe Biden's ass. | ||
| Well, they're coming out his mouth. | ||
| Well, Twitter had top trending was like, did Joe? | ||
| And then I was like, oh, what's this? | ||
| Like, I was thinking it was like, did Joe really say that? | ||
| But no, it was all like, did Joe just conduct the most professional press conference ever and not insult any journalists and say anything misogynistic? | ||
| And I was like, look, OK, Yes, he stood up there and he said some things, but, and to be fair, they did ask him about the, uh, they hit the unaccompanied, unaccompanied minors thing a couple of times. | ||
| My favorite Joe, Joe gaffe was him saying, well, I never said for them to come here. | ||
| I've never said that. | ||
| I've been saying now is not a great time to come to America, but. | ||
| I'm not going to leave him starve on the border like Trump did. | ||
| Nah, he lied. | ||
| Of course he lied. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He was like, nothing's changed. The truth is nothing's changed. The numbers are the same. | |
| So I pulled up CNN of all sources. | ||
| And CNN was like, it is true. The peak was during Trump and we're nowhere near those levels. | ||
| And it showed something really interesting. The moment Joe Biden assumed office, | ||
| the number of unaccompanied minors skyrockets from its lowest point in 10 years to its highest | ||
| point in the past 40. Well, to its second highest point in the past 10 years. | ||
| A journalist actually said that to him though. She said, I interviewed a nine year old whose mother told me that she | ||
| sent him unaccompanied and he walked all the way from Honduras by himself because mama told him | ||
| that Papa Joe would not turn him away. | ||
| And then Joe basically said, well, I'm not going to let him starve. | ||
| So essentially, he was confirming the message that he's not going to send them away. | ||
| But earlier in the press conference, he said, oh, we sent the vast majority of these people back, which was utter baloney. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Since he came in, he rescinded a bunch of Trump's rules. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The migrant protection protocols, they called it, Remain in Mexico policy, I'm pretty sure | ||
| he ended that, which is now resulting in people getting hotel rooms. | ||
| So like the Biden administration spent $86 million putting illegal immigrants in hotel | ||
| rooms. | ||
| Listen, man, I love humans. | ||
| I want these people to live rich, full lives. | ||
| What Biden is doing is not going to accomplish that. | ||
| It's going to serve the interests of major corporations and multinational industries that want cheap, surf labor from people who don't have rights in this country, don't have access to, like, healthcare, don't have minimum wage protections. | ||
| And then what happens is these companies exploit this labor. | ||
| None of us like that. | ||
| We want people who are in this country legally and properly to have access to these jobs to work hard and succeed. | ||
| And that includes immigrants who come in the right way. | ||
| It includes asylum seekers. | ||
| But what they've done with the Democratic Party, with people like Joe Biden, is they've made it either you let them in, wandering through the desert, sent off to who knows where, or you're racist. | ||
| Like, you're a bigot. | ||
| You hate people. | ||
| It's like, no, dude, listen. | ||
| They come to the border. | ||
| They say, here's my case. | ||
| We can only let in certain amounts of people because we don't have an infinite, like, we don't have replicators like in Star Trek or anything. | ||
| But they don't want you to understand that resources are finite. | ||
| And you have a lot of these people on the left claiming scarcity ended a long time ago. | ||
| It's just not true. | ||
| We don't want carbon emissions to rise, so we don't want more people coming into this country, right? | ||
| Nah, they don't agree with that either. | ||
| It's like, you're the ones who say, we produce too much carbon. | ||
| Now you wanna bring in a bunch of people to produce, like, America produces more than any of these other countries. | ||
| Not China. | ||
| Well, for sure. | ||
| But I'm just pointing out the paradox. You know what I mean? | ||
| Oh, you mean the countries where they're coming from. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're saying that, like, we've got all these problems. | ||
| You realize bringing all of these people in is going to result in a serf class. It's | ||
| going to result in an underclass. | ||
| They're not going to be better served. They're going to be wandering through the desert. | ||
| It's a disaster. It is. It's Biden's fault. | ||
| Did you hear how Biden said he would solve it? | ||
| He said, well, what we're going to do is we're going to put in street lights. | ||
| See, what you got to do is you got to solve why they're leaving. | ||
| And so one nation wanted streetlights and we put in streetlights and crime plummeted. | ||
| You know what's crazy? | ||
| I heard that when they do blue streetlights, crime goes way down. | ||
| And when they do halogen, like the orange one, crime actually goes up. | ||
| Why? | ||
| I buy that because there's a thing with like how you color, you paint your walls and stuff like that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if that's, I was just reading something about it. | ||
| Cause like, you know, you know, like when you're walking through a city and the lights are kind of orange, they switched them to once switched to like blue and white lights, like colder, you know, tones and then crime dropped. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| That should just be a law then. | ||
| Oh, they should all be that color. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| They should strobe. | ||
| They should flash. | ||
| They should flash all colors of the rainbow. | ||
| Disco techs everywhere. | ||
| Everywhere. | ||
| And that'll, that'll, that'll deal with it. | ||
| Yeah, hey, so before we move on, I just wanted to say about the Jennifer Rubin thing. | ||
| The byline on her article says, reporters have shown why these events are an utter waste of the president's time. | ||
| You see what they're doing here, right? | ||
| You completely get it. | ||
| She wants to be done with these pressers because they're so utterly humiliating. | ||
| Stop holding my president to any standards. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Stop it. | ||
| Boom, done. | ||
| Donald Trump, we threw him in the garbage chute. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Joe Biden, don't you dare talk about Joe Biden. | |
| He's right next to Jesus Christ. | ||
| You know what the reality is, though? | ||
| These people desperately need Trump back. | ||
| So some people may have noticed. | ||
| I saw some people in chat and they were like, Tim's going to be on Fox News in an hour. | ||
| And I'm like, no, I was on Fox News 20 minutes ago. | ||
| I saw it happen. | ||
| So that was actually, I was on Fox News an hour ago. | ||
| And one of the things we talked about was Donald Trump launching this new social network. | ||
| We have the story here from Axios. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Scoop! | |
| Trump in talks with upstart apps about new social network. | ||
| And so, I'm talking to the guys at Fox, and they're like, you think they're gonna- they nuked Parler, right? | ||
| They destroyed Parler, and it was very obvious that it was coordinated. | ||
| Do you think they're going to nuke Donald Trump's new platform? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| No. | ||
| You think they're not going to? | ||
| I think they're not going to. | ||
| I'm on team Ian here. | ||
| Is it a proprietary software? | ||
| You think they're going to? | ||
| I don't think it'll ever get off the ground. | ||
| I think he's toxic. | ||
| He can't. | ||
| He can't be involved in it. | ||
| You know why I disagree? | ||
| The media needs Trump. | ||
| Their ratings are in the gutter, their revenue is trash, and they're freaking out about it, and they're trying to find a villain. | ||
| CNN's like, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and everyone's like, who? | ||
| They got Ted Cruz. | ||
| Tucker Carlson! | ||
| And everyone's like, I don't watch Fox. | ||
| CNN's struggling to find their villain. | ||
| If Donald Trump launches this new app, they're gonna be like, wait, wait, wait, Oh no! | ||
| Oh, Trump! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh jeez! | |
| How can we have stopped this? | ||
| But it's a free country! | ||
| Oh man, we better write about every single thing he says again! | ||
| But Google and Apple don't need him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They won't shut the gates. | |
| I wouldn't be surprised if what happens next is that they start claiming it's wrong of Google and Apple to censor. | ||
| It's too far. | ||
| As much as we don't like the president, it's too much. | ||
| Did you see Bernie do it? | ||
| Bernie came out and he was like, actually, I don't like, but like four months before, he was like basically advocating for his deplatforming. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Demanding it. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We gotta get rid of this guy. | |
| And then I saw certain people who shall remain unnamed being like, ah, I knew my backing Bernie was good. | ||
| I'm like, uh, is this you bro? | ||
| Like Bernie, like literally demanded it. | ||
| That's what I'm saying, dude. | ||
| They're realizing they've lost their villain. | ||
| They need a villain. | ||
| Tucker's not good enough. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| Tucker, it's like, He's one guy with an opinion. | ||
| And they're like, but he's spreading misinformation. | ||
| But he's not the president. | ||
| He's not in government. | ||
| He just talks about stuff people don't care. | ||
| But Trump doesn't need to have a social network to be that guy. | ||
| He just needs to be on one. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So like, in my opinion, I like Trump dot social would be a disaster. | ||
| Is that what they're calling it? | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, Trump puts his name on everything. | ||
| So I would assume it would be like TR dot MP or whatever he would do. | ||
| It would be awful. | ||
| But what he could do is he could, you know, Parler's, in my opinion, basically dead. | ||
| Trump's face. | ||
| Yeah, Trump's face. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But he could buy Parler. | ||
| All he has to do is join it, though. | ||
| He doesn't need to spend a dime. | ||
| He just has to join it and 20 million people will follow. | ||
| And he didn't do it. | ||
| And he knows that, but he won't do it. | ||
| He knows it because he knows he's worth money. | ||
| He's a businessman. | ||
| And so he's thinking, I'll do my own thing and I'll own it. | ||
| Yeah, but I mean, he's got that buddy Lindell who's got a ton of money. | ||
| I mean, Trump's a billionaire. | ||
| Yeah, I don't even know if that's enough money to start one and go against Silicon Valley right now. | ||
| It is. | ||
| He could do it. | ||
| Listen, with the Fediverse, you're familiar with the Fediverse? | ||
| Trump could easily create an open source Fediverse app. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Trump space. | ||
| Does he have the people around him though? | ||
| Because this is the guy that said ban Section 230. | ||
| Repeal Section 230. | ||
| Repeal it. | ||
| That showed me he didn't know what the frick he was talking about. | ||
| Like, does he even have people around him? | ||
| Because if he had good people around him, he would have joined Parler. | ||
| That was, it was really frustrating to me. | ||
| Or Mines, yeah. | ||
| Or, I mean, yeah, I'm not going to mention the other one. | ||
| There's another one he could have joined too. | ||
| Oh, Gab? | ||
| The Section 230 thing was interesting because a lot of conservatives were basically saying, I don't care if Donald Trump nukes social media and destroys it for everybody, because we're already getting suppressed anyway. | ||
| And I'm like, that's not what would happen. | ||
| If you get rid of Section 230, then Facebook goes, Oh no! | ||
| Oh, they've got rid of... Oh geez, what do we do? | ||
| I guess we can only just choose to curate our platforms. | ||
| Here are the far leftists we think are good for you. | ||
| Then you'd get ten channels. | ||
| Would have gotten a hundred times worse. | ||
| Yeah, a hundred times worse. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Any semblance of any conservative value, moderate or traditional liberal, would be purged. | ||
| And it would be hardcore socialist woke ten-year-olds or whatever. | ||
| But do you know what my, mini rant incoming, sorry, but my number one most disappointing thing about the Trump presidency is not that he didn't deliver on several things that he promised, because every president doesn't do that. | ||
| Like his wall thing was never going to happen. | ||
| I think he did deliver on the wall. | ||
| Well, if he had four more years, he might have been able to really see it through. | ||
| But the fun, regardless. | ||
| They built secure bollard fencing in key areas, and that satisfied Trump supporters. | ||
| Not me, though. | ||
| Not me. | ||
| I wanted it, like, full turrets. | ||
| Alligators and moats. | ||
| They accused Trump. | ||
| This is the stupidest story ever. | ||
| They were like, Trump asked for moats with alligators. | ||
| I'm like, No, he didn't. | ||
| That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. | ||
| If you believe that, I got a bridge to sell you. | ||
| Yeah, but he had four years to worry about social media. | ||
| And I'm bringing Ted Cruz here, too. | ||
| These dudes, we all... I'm not talking about the people in this room, but I've fallen for it, too. | ||
| Where I'm like, yeah, Ted Cruz, take it to Jack Dorsey in these Zoom meetings. | ||
| And then they don't do anything! | ||
| And then Trump had four years, and then when he realized he was going to lose the election, suddenly he remembered about reforming Section 230. | ||
| It was too damn late. | ||
| He had bad people around him. | ||
| It was like, I guess Kushner was saying, don't join these other websites. | ||
| I heard that he had shut down Gab, I think he was enjoying one other site, and Kushner was like, no, I don't care. | ||
| Parlor, I think. | ||
| Yeah, he's like, I don't wanna do that. | ||
| Remember he got all those tech guys together, and he was like, I'm gonna form a technology unit in the White House, and Elon came for like three days and was like, I'm outta here. | ||
| Right, he's like, what am I even doing? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, I remember that. | ||
| I said it, man, the Republicans were too stupid to solve this problem to save their own careers. | ||
| And then they ended up losing in 2018, and they gained some back in 2020, but this was one of the biggest plays. | ||
| If you lock everybody in their homes, so they can't go to the bar, they can't go to the store, they can't go out, and then the only place they can interact with people is on social media, but the social media companies have excised half of the country's political opinions, you are forcing people down a very narrow path where the only interactions they have with people are based on their ideologies. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| You know, you combine the censorship with the pandemic and it was the perfect storm to purge | ||
| conservatives. And I think Trump could have, I think Trump would have gotten 85 million votes | ||
| if in 2016, when the news was starting to come out, if they actually started taking action in 2018, | ||
| when the stories went huge. When I'm sitting there with Jack Dorsey, if Trump just paid | ||
| attention and said, do this now, then it would have been inversion. | ||
| It would have been Trump 80 million, Biden 74. | ||
| But instead, a lot of people, because remember that guy, what was his name? | ||
| Robert, was it Robert Epstein? | ||
| Is that his name? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The researcher. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| He said, Google. | ||
| Unfortunate name. | ||
| He said, there's a lot of people whose name is Epstein. | ||
| But he said Google is directing people to news, and they are flipping millions of votes from Republican and Democrat by what they're showing people. | ||
| And he's like, I have the data. | ||
| And still after these hearings, you know what? | ||
| Meh, we'll just fine you with an FCC. | ||
| No, no, no, like, it's hard. | ||
| I'll give a shout out to Ted Cruz because he's doing more than literally anyone else. | ||
| But then I'll slam him for just like... | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| They don't have a plan. | ||
| Well, they're grandstanding. | ||
| And I was talking about this earlier. | ||
| My my concern is that the government, you know, | ||
| and I may be uneducated on this. I might be the one thing I | ||
| don't know everything about. | ||
| But like just one thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But like the FCC will hit them with like what? | ||
| Five hundred million of fines. | ||
| Where does that money go? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like so the government milks all this money out of Google and Facebook for antitrust. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But what the hell do they do with it? | ||
| It's like it's a viable income source for them, for them to exist. | ||
| It's like hush money. | ||
| I turned on the news today and I'm watching this, you know, Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg. | ||
| He's a skinhead now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shaved his head. | |
| Confirmed neo-Nazi. | ||
| Shaved his head. | ||
| I disagree with Jack Dorsey's, well, I don't know. | ||
| You know, I think they do this every few months where they go in there and they pretend like they care. | ||
| The politicians pretend like they care. | ||
| And then, like you said, man, people fall for it. | ||
| And they're like, Oh, look at this hearing. | ||
| And I'm like, nothing happened. | ||
| Remember Trey Gowdy? | ||
| He would go viral, like on these, on these like epic takedowns of people. | ||
| And then like, still nothing would happen. | ||
| It's performative. | ||
| It's meant to placate and appease you while nothing gets done. | ||
| And it's been that way for a long time. | ||
| And that's why one of the reasons people like Trump, because Trump would just walk in and go, excuse me, excuse me. | ||
| No, no, I'm talking. | ||
| And they're like, finally, just do something. | ||
| Throw a pie. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's like you see these congressional hearings, and it's like, um, we're not censoring people. | ||
| You're censoring people. | ||
| We're not censoring people. | ||
| You're censoring people. | ||
| Thank you and have a nice day. | ||
| Have a nice day. | ||
| They're good at calling out the problems, apparently, like Ted Cruz, all these dudes. | ||
| But they don't have a plan to, like, fix, like, replace the situation with. | ||
| They don't know what to do. | ||
| They don't want to plan. | ||
| No, they don't want to fix it. | ||
| They're not smart enough to or something. | ||
| No, they don't care. | ||
| Like, we need a technologist in charge right now. | ||
| I'll tell you what happens. | ||
| These Republicans? | ||
| Who's our chief technology czar? | ||
| That's a position, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have a guy? | |
| Bill Ottman. | ||
| Listen, listen, listen. | ||
| Not your czar. | ||
| These politicians wake up, and the Democrat gets out of bed, and he goes, ugh. | ||
| He looks at his watch. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Honey, what's today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're doing the hearing with the guys from the social media! | |
| The Googles! | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| What do my... | ||
| Am I a Democrat? You're a Democrat. Oh, okay. I'm gonna pretend like they're spread misinformation | ||
| Then he gets in there goes you're spreading misinformation and then once it's all over and they hang up | ||
| So sorry to yell at you, but you understand right? | ||
| I'm gonna go order pizza and beer I can't remember what we talked about this the antitrust | ||
| laws don't work with Modern technology because if you break the company if you | ||
| broke Facebook up into Instagram Facebook Messenger Facebook Prime for instance and Zuckerberg still owned | ||
| Whatever 40% of each company He's still gonna have the ability to make the terms of | ||
| service for each of these new companies and maintain his wealth and power | ||
| and that And in my opinion, the antitrust laws are just a revenue stream for the government. | ||
| They're not really interested in protecting the people or protecting free speech. | ||
| They're like, OK, the EU hit Google with a 55 billion or 50 billion dollar fine a few years ago for some data. | ||
| Like they care. | ||
| Now they have so much money that it's like there's no incentive to fix the problem when you can keep printing money. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I've got to stop you there. | ||
| The big tech companies absolutely care about the people. | ||
| With millions of dollars in their bank accounts. | ||
| Well, yes, right. | ||
| All seven of them. | ||
| They care about them deeply. | ||
| But they care about people, just not you. | ||
| Not all the people. | ||
| Yeah, clearly not all of them. | ||
| If you're not making a hundred grand a year, are you really a person? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, yeah. | ||
| Not until you incorporate. | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
| No, but they don't even care about the people making a hundred. | ||
| Yeah, that's nothing. | ||
| Dude, no joke. | ||
| No joke. | ||
| I've heard the story over and over again. | ||
| You try calling your representative and they'll... | ||
| They'll answer if you get through, but I'll tell you this, you're worth a couple million dollars. | ||
| They'll be calling you. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's a fact. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| I will say this at the risk of, this is an unintended flex, but I have gotten calls from local politicians. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Me too. | ||
| And like, I was like, eat a dick. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like it's just no, you know, you didn't care about me before. | ||
| My opinions haven't changed really. | ||
| In fact, they've gotten more, you know, uh, strict than they were before, but it's frustrating because you had. | ||
| Man, Parler had such a high ceiling for a week. | ||
| For a week, when they banned Trump, if Trump had anybody around him and he created an account on Parler, it would have been instantly viable, even if they got banned. | ||
| We have new information coming out about Parler, which proves, in my opinion, alright, so I'm not saying it's literal evidence in a court of law, I'm saying, after seeing this, I am personally convinced that Big Tech colluded to destroy a competitor, period. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| But you knew that before this, right? | ||
| But it was like, before this, it was, I'm pretty sure that's what they're doing. | ||
| Yeah, okay, okay. | ||
| Now, we know their entire pretext was just absolute trash. | ||
| We assumed it was. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| The Wall Street Journal reports, Parler says it informed FBI of violent content before the Capitol riot. | ||
| Months before. | ||
| Social media platform tells House committee has been unfairly targeted by Big Tech. | ||
| They say, Parler in December began alerting the Bureau to content suggesting the possibility of violence at the Capitol, as Congress met to confirm Biden's victory. | ||
| The company wrote in a letter to the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which is investigating Parler and its role in the siege. | ||
| The site referred a number of posts to law enforcement Including one on December 24th from a user who called for an armed force of 150,000 people to react to the congressional events of January 6th, according to the letter, which included the post and communications with FBI officials among its exhibits and has been reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| Mic drop. | ||
| They said, Parler is hosting these dangerous people and facilitating this. | ||
| They're doing nothing to stop it. | ||
| They're doing nothing. | ||
| And the reality is, Jack Dorsey would have stopped them. | ||
| They were doing more than Facebook does. | ||
| Because the reality is, these people were actually organizing on Facebook. | ||
| And we know it. | ||
| That's a fact. | ||
| And even the Washington Post and leftists have started calling out Zuckerberg. | ||
| In fact, in the hearing today, you had one guy, I can't remember which guy it was, but he was like, Mr. Zuckerberg, do you take responsibility for what | ||
| happened or some responsibility for what happened on January 6th? | ||
| And Zuckerberg's like, it's a very complex, it's a very nuanced, and he's like, he said, | ||
| yes or no, do you take responsibility? | ||
| Jack Dorsey said yes. | ||
| I knew he would too, because that's his side. | ||
| The right answer is no, though. | ||
| Do you take responsibility? | ||
| Yeah, of course the answer's no. | ||
| I think the answer's yes. | ||
| Because individual responsibility matters. | ||
| Like, why do these guys never push that? | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Like, just because he used my platform, that didn't make them go break the law, you know? | ||
| That should be the argument that these people are making, but Jack Dorsey, like you're right, virtue signaled, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I'm-a me so sorry! | ||
| You know, like, actually, I'd like to first, actually, right now, in record time, I would like to apologize for my Asian joke. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I personally requested it. | ||
| Okay, thank I don't know if I'm Asian enough for them to actually Hashtag stop Asian hate that's right, but the I mean like yeah I'm not surprised but these these dudes I think they're looking at a financially like 50 million fine if I say I'm sorry 100 million fine if I say I'm not No, no one's gonna go after him, right? | ||
| So Parler was obliterated, just absolutely obliterated. | ||
| It was nuked, it's dead, it's not coming back. | ||
| They brought it back, and the momentum is gone. | ||
| They needed to stop the growth because it was going to displace Twitter, because as more and more conservatives were leaving and joining Parler, and it was critical mass, They were gonna get to like 30 million or 40 million within a week. | ||
| But think about this. | ||
| That means on Twitter everything becomes boring. | ||
| When Trump became active in his presidential campaign, users started going up. | ||
| People started joining Twitter. | ||
| All of a sudden there was something to tweet about. | ||
| Twitter knows that they've created an addictive rage machine. | ||
| That's why they've never gotten rid of the retweet counts or follower counts. | ||
| They know what it does to people, but they want it. | ||
| How many followers did Trump have when he got, you did 80 million or 50 million? | ||
| Yeah, 80 million something. | ||
| Yeah, so you know half of them at least, right? | ||
| No, let's say 20% of them follow him to a new platform. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Congratulations, new platform. | ||
| You have, you know, 15 million users. | ||
| I just did some research on Twitter is about to use AWS, Amazon Web Service, which is what banned Parler. | ||
| They may have, but as of December. | ||
| No, they've had a contract with them. | ||
| And that was one of the arguments that Parler was a competitor to Twitter. | ||
| Twitter signed a big deal with Amazon. | ||
| Twitter did. | ||
| And they got scared. | ||
| In December. | ||
| And so they were like, take Parler off your servers because they're competing with us. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And if we lose to Parler, then you guys lose our business. | ||
| And Facebook's not on AWS. | ||
| They have their own infrastructure. | ||
| My server's doing it. | ||
| I imagine Google also has their own servers. | ||
| It's remarkable. | ||
| We know what's happening, but I think the problem is we need to wake more people up to what's happening. | ||
| And the media is really good at indoctrinating people. | ||
| I suppose I should be a bit more optimistic because their ratings are in the gutter. | ||
| They're collapsing. | ||
| No, I'll tell you this. | ||
| For all you guys that are listening to this podcast, I want you to know the ratings for this show are improving. | ||
| Now, The live show isn't getting as much as it was a few months ago. | ||
| But the segments are getting more. | ||
| So I think it's an issue of people working, having different schedules, and looking for different things. | ||
| But overall, we are doing better than ever on TimCast IRL. | ||
| This is good news. | ||
| I'm optimistic. | ||
| CNN's in the gutter. | ||
| Desperate for a villain. | ||
| Our villain here is always the establishment. | ||
| So no matter what happens, we're pointing out the corruption. | ||
| But I'll tell you this. | ||
| If at any point we become that media establishment, We just have to make sure, as long as we're being the honest ones, straightforward, then that's a good thing if we become the establishment. | ||
| Right now, we're the outsiders pointing it and saying, these people are lying and cheating and stealing. | ||
| They want power. | ||
| We're kind of like the Sega Genesis of 1991. | ||
| You remember Sega came out and NES was killing it? | ||
| You mean the Master System? | ||
| Well, no, then the Sega Genesis came out after. | ||
| After the NES, before the Super Nintendo. | ||
| This is not a good analogy. | ||
| Sega collapsed. | ||
| I don't want to collapse. | ||
| But then the Super NES came out and grabbed the mainstream. | ||
| They had all the money. | ||
| Sega didn't really have the money. | ||
| But Sega was the better product, in my opinion. | ||
| I think Sega makes games now. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Yeah, they're on PlayStation. | ||
| So we're like the Sega. | ||
| No, we don't want to be the Sega. | ||
| The Nintendo is the mainstream and we're coming up on it with better tech. | ||
| We want to displace Takeover and then make GTA 5, and then once it goes live online we stop working and it just becomes the same game for 5-6 years. | ||
| We have to start making CD-ROMs then. | ||
| No, what we need to do is we need to- We need our own ISP. | ||
| We need to share- yes, we need infrastructure. | ||
| Because the way they were able to blow up Parlor was by going after AWS, going after the servers. | ||
| Gab is doing all of that. | ||
| But we also need people to use these platforms. | ||
| So that means there needs to be more than just telling people we need to do it. | ||
| There needs to be an actual incentive, which is why I was talking earlier about doing shows. | ||
| Here's what I want to do. | ||
| Imagine you have media and social media all rolled into one. | ||
| Let's say we make a website where it's like we get comedians like Ryan Long, you know, to produce content. | ||
| We have original shows. | ||
| You sign up, you get access to these shows, ad-free with membership, things like that. | ||
| But then on those sites is also federated social media. | ||
| Meaning, if you log in and sign up for this website, it connects you with a social network for all these other websites, and there's an app where you can sign in and follow whoever you want. | ||
| Instead of following at TimCast on Twitter, you'd follow something like Tim at whatever.com, whatever the website is. | ||
| You'd get an account that would be like John Doe at TimCast.com or whatever, and that's what you would follow. | ||
| You'd say, oh yeah, follow my account. | ||
| I'm a member over at TimCast. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| But then you're signed into a place where you're getting content. | ||
| So we're creating an actual incentive model. | ||
| Why should someone sign up for this social platform? | ||
| Because you get great stand-up comedy, because you get great news and great documentary and great conversations. | ||
| And you could have an app store built into it, like a decentralized app store. | ||
| We need a decentralized app store for sure. | ||
| They exist. | ||
| You can download other app stores. | ||
| The problem is incentive models. | ||
| People have no reason to use anything other than Google's app store. | ||
| It's just easy and everybody use it. | ||
| People got no reason to use Gab because everybody's on Twitter or Facebook. | ||
| Everybody's on Facebook. | ||
| It's hard to get people to do it just because it's the right thing to do or because it's moral. | ||
| It's almost like you need like a, like a, an emergency, like something to whip people into change. | ||
| What we need to do is we need to place small pieces of candy on the road that lead to a box with a stick so that people go, ooh, piece of candy. | ||
| So crypto, like if you could get paid for using, like if you got paid for using an app store. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I think that's awful. | ||
| Well, like mines, you can stake your crypto on mines now and make crypto just by having your crypto on mines. | ||
| I think, let's, okay, that, staking is interesting, but I'm sick and tired, I've, since Myspace, I don't know if you remember this, Jeremy, there was a website that popped up around the Myspace days that was identical, but they paid you if you used it. | ||
| And what they were doing was- Do you remember what it was called? | ||
| No, I don't remember, but they were like, you gotta use this, I remember, it was red. | ||
| And they were like, sign up for this one, because they split the ad revenue with you. | ||
| And so if you browse it, you might make like 50 to 100 bucks a month just from using the site. | ||
| And I'm like, dude, that doesn't work because people aren't attracted to the idea of a get-rich-quick scheme. | ||
| YouTube works because there's a legitimate structure. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Let me just stop you there. | ||
| Are you saying people aren't attracted to get-rich-quick schemes? | ||
| Regular people are not going to sign up for a service. | ||
| Amway, literally every MLM ever. | ||
| How many people are in MLMs? | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| A couple million, probably? | ||
| It is a tiny fraction of the population. | ||
| People hate it. | ||
| They are mocked, they are belittled, and no one trusts it. | ||
| So when you have a social media site, there's a bunch of these crypto sites where they're like, if you post your video here, you can earn crypto money. | ||
| And I'm like, that makes no sense. | ||
| Simply by watching it, crypto is generated. | ||
| I'm like, dude, what's backing your currency? | ||
| It's no different than fiat, in my opinion. | ||
| There's, it's just a nebulous value. | ||
| Now, Bitcoin makes sense to me for a variety of reasons. | ||
| Confidence being a big one, but the new technology. | ||
| Generating revenue because your video gets views and you can't explain to me where that value comes from and who's giving you the money for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
| The mindset was interesting. | ||
| Today I was, I made a post on minds. | ||
| I was like, I want to spend 2.5 tokens to boost it to 2,500 people. | ||
| And I was like, I don't want to spend the tokens because they're worth 70 cents each, or whatever they are. | ||
| And I was like, ah! | ||
| And I just did it. | ||
| I was like, yeah. | ||
| Let me ask you this. | ||
| Why isn't any other video platform displacing YouTube? | ||
| It's simple. | ||
| It's simple. | ||
| It's not going to. | ||
| It's decentralized. | ||
| Oh, displaced, maybe not. | ||
| There's two things stopping it. | ||
| Google subsidizes YouTube's infrastructure, which is too expensive. | ||
| Billions. | ||
| And then they split advertising revenue with us. | ||
| It's not possible. | ||
| It's a great model. | ||
| Well, the way it works is, let me use a little day job knowledge here. | ||
| All YouTube is, is the same thing as this. | ||
| The reason Android has phones is for what? | ||
| To serve ads. | ||
| That's the only reason Android phones exist. | ||
| Google serves ads on their phones. | ||
| Google serves ads on YouTube. | ||
| In the Play Store, on Search. | ||
| Play Store, everywhere. | ||
| It's to get access to attention so they can sell ads. | ||
| It's about extending their network for ads. | ||
| This is why Facebook and Google have had massive internet access projects. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Where they're trying, like you know they did Project Aloon, where they sent balloons up? | ||
| Yeah, Facebook. | ||
| They want everyone online so they can sell more ads. | ||
| But let me try to take you back off the crypto cliff here. | ||
| Ian, help me out. | ||
| I don't think that viewing various interchangeable cryptos like fiat is great. | ||
| I think, for example, Odyssey. | ||
| I've told you offline how much I earned on Odyssey. | ||
| Do I know how it all worked? | ||
| No. | ||
| But I don't need to know how the sausage is made. | ||
| Like an MLM? | ||
| It isn't like an MLM. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Well, I'm not investing any money. | ||
| The crypto is generated in the processor power from how I understand it, when these videos are rendered and it generates more tokens. | ||
| Ultra low IQ take. | ||
| But the thing is, If we don't back, crypto is the only viable alternative to ads. | ||
| Let's talk about some of these like, you know, crypto generating video sites. | ||
| When they say you've earned... Is there more than just Odyssey? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| When they say you've earned $100, okay, who gives you $100? | ||
| Like, how do you get $100 out of that? | ||
| Right now, they'll deposit crypto tokens in your wallet. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right, okay, so then how do you turn that crypto into the dollars that you're going to have? | ||
| You go to like Metamask and then sell them, trade them for Ethereum and then go take your Ethereum to Coinbase and sell them for dollars. | ||
| So why would someone trade for that token for speculation? | ||
| Let me tell you this. | ||
| I transferred out $44,000 in library tokens from Odyssey. | ||
| To where? | ||
| My PayPal account. | ||
| Who, where did the money come from? | ||
| Bittrex. | ||
| I transferred it to Bittrex, Bittrex transferred it to USD, and I got the money. | ||
| Whose USD was that? | ||
| Well, people who invested in the currency, I imagine. | ||
| Why would they invest in the currency? | ||
| Because I bought library tokens because the token is going up in value. | ||
| Speculation? | ||
| Listen, the Mines token actually has a function as well. | ||
| It's speculation and you can spend it for a thousand views. | ||
| I'll tell you what my problem is. | ||
| Somebody makes a site where they're like, we're going to generate crypto. | ||
| And what they don't tell you is that for every crypto generated, they get a portion of it. | ||
| And all they're really doing is they're creating a Ponzi scheme. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sometimes. | |
| Sometimes. | ||
| Not all of them. | ||
| Mines isn't doing that. | ||
| Mines doesn't do that. | ||
| I don't know about Odyssey. | ||
| The amount of money I would get from, so I'm on, I'm one of the biggest accounts on one of these websites or whatever. | ||
| And they're like, look how much money you have in there. | ||
| And I'm like, it is a tiny fraction of what I make on YouTube. | ||
| A microscopic fraction. | ||
| But then your position is that unless it can totally replace my earnings on YouTube, it's not worth my time. | ||
| That's not what I said. | ||
| I said this is why they will never displace YouTube. | ||
| Well, they don't have to displace it. | ||
| They have to take 10% of it, 15% of it. | ||
| That's the mindset you have to have. | ||
| This is incremental. | ||
| We eat their lunch. | ||
| We don't eat their dinner and their breakfast. | ||
| So you support these crypto... Look, I'm not a crypto expert. | ||
| I'm sure you can bring one on. | ||
| If you can't tell me where your money's coming from, you're putting your eggs in a dangerous basket with no bottom. | ||
| Okay, let's talk businessman to businessman, though. | ||
| You take eight minutes to mirror your videos on Odyssey, hypothetically. | ||
| I didn't even do it. | ||
| Somebody else did it. | ||
| All my videos just appear on there. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I heard about that. | ||
| But let's say, hypothetically, right? | ||
| Obviously, everyone knows I don't work for Odyssey. | ||
| Odyssey doesn't pay me anything, anything, right? | ||
| I'm on Mines, I'm on BitChute, and I'm on Odyssey. | ||
| Rumble? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I'm not on Rumble. | ||
| And Mines generates tokens, BitChute I don't believe does, and Odyssey does. | ||
| BitChute's a liable. | ||
| And I keep getting told, I get these emails from these companies and they're like, have you looked at how much money you've already made from these sites? | ||
| And I'm like, bro, what money for who and why? | ||
| Like, are you telling me that you created a money printing machine? | ||
| That you decide how it prints money? | ||
| And then you're telling me I should trade your hot potato for cash? | ||
| With YouTube, I know exactly where the money's coming from. | ||
| You obtained zero risk, though, Tim. | ||
| I know, so I'm signed up on these sites, and I'm like, sure, whatever. | ||
| So I logged into Odyssey, and I had 250,000 wackadoodle tokens. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| I don't understand crypto. | ||
| It's a library token. | ||
| Library's the company that owns Odyssey. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't understand crypto. | ||
| And I know you should really bring a crypto expert on, because I think they would change your mind. | ||
| Because I'm ill-equipped to tell you. | ||
| I've been following Bitcoin since 2011 and the various cryptocurrencies. | ||
| But then why would you have that opinion about library tokens, if you understand Bitcoin? | ||
| Maybe because I know more about it than you do. | ||
| What's the next big one? | ||
| Ethereum, right? | ||
| Ethereum is one of the most revolutionary technologies we've had in a long time. | ||
| So when I buy, when I cash out a Bitcoin, whose money is that? | ||
| When you cash out a Bitcoin, what you're looking at with Bitcoin is, first and foremost, first and best dressed, and institutional confidence. | ||
| But whose money is that? | ||
| That's a question for the library token. | ||
| The Federal Reserve's. | ||
| Investors. | ||
| Okay, so isn't that true for library tokens? | ||
| Yes, the problem is... So what's the difference? | ||
| Who controls library tokens? | ||
| Like, who's printing them? | ||
| They might be being mined. | ||
| I don't think they're... I'm going to avoid this for legal reasons. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| I am not talking now about any particular company. | ||
| All right, let's just talk about crypto in general. | ||
| I know many people who are involved in cryptos. | ||
| I know Bill Ottman and Ian, for instance, and they do mines. | ||
| And I know several other high-profile computer tech specialists and hackers who told me some | ||
| of these sites are legit Ponzi schemes. | ||
| What happens is- It's probably true. | ||
| So listen, with Bitcoin. | ||
| I understand Bitcoin. | ||
| Cryptocurrency is an amazing asset. | ||
| And this is true for any, but we call them ish coins for a reason. | ||
| Ethereum and Bitcoin, in my opinion, are paramount. | ||
| Just because they're the most valuable though? | ||
| No, absolutely not. | ||
| Ethereum is smart contracts. | ||
| It's revolutionary technology. | ||
| It allowed for the formation of ERC-20 tokens, which created websites like Odyssey's capabilities. | ||
| And they need to use the Ethereum network for these things to function. | ||
| Bitcoin can also do this kind of, But smart contracts don't work as well on Bitcoin. | ||
| They're updating it. | ||
| Ultimately, they're constantly trying to update it. | ||
| Ultimately, Bitcoin was, is, digital gold, an opportunity for a hard asset that can't be replicated. | ||
| And that was the first time. | ||
| Who controls it? | ||
| A decentralized network. | ||
| I'm not worried about who's mining the tokens. | ||
| I'd like to have some. | ||
| These other companies have proprietary control in many circumstances. | ||
| Where some dude sitting in his bedroom controls what's going on, and he's funneling a bunch of tokens to himself, convincing you it's a good investment. | ||
| That way, when you produce content for his site, then all of a sudden now he says, see, it's valuable because Jeremy produces content for my site. | ||
| Then he sells out his tokens, makes a ton of money. | ||
| That's happened a lot. | ||
| It happens a lot. | ||
| Especially with the ICOs, the initial coin offerings, was a whole lot of scamming going on. | ||
| You see it in the white papers, if you read the white papers. | ||
| I have no problem with syncing my content to a decentralized network and a torrent network that will clone my videos, but I am not going to spend any time focusing on developing these platforms where at any moment the bottom could fall out and it's just a confidence game. | ||
| But what's your exposure? | ||
| What's your exposure if it falls out? | ||
| Is what my question is. | ||
| If you set your business up to be on a platform, it could be your entire company. | ||
| Yeah, but that's not what I'm saying. | ||
| I pull my money out, right? | ||
| Every month. | ||
| Well, not really now because I pulled out basically everything. | ||
| It's also not easy to pull your money out. | ||
| It took me eight minutes. | ||
| Not me. | ||
| I've had these people email me several times and they're like, you have to go through each individual video of your 3,000 videos. | ||
| Yes, that happened with Odyssey with me. | ||
| I did email them and I say, What the hell? | ||
| And they unlocked it for me. | ||
| But yes, because you and I are different, we have such huge amounts, you can't just unlock them like 250,000 tokens. | ||
| I tried many times, it failed. | ||
| But I did email them and I said, you need to unlock this all. | ||
| I have a problem with much of this cryptocurrency. | ||
| I have no crypto, by the way, so everyone knows. | ||
| I am not a crypto investor. | ||
| Ethereum is revolutionary technology. | ||
| Bitcoin is revolutionary technology. | ||
| But Bitcoin was first in best dressed and provides a value. | ||
| What's that, 60k now? | ||
| Well, it's been up now. | ||
| 55, I think. | ||
| I have zero. | ||
| Please send me one. | ||
| I have seen this since the dawn of crypto. | ||
| When I used to go on some of these websites and you had hundreds of what we call, you know, ish coins, SOR coins. | ||
| And many of them have gone defunct, and I've seen companies rise and fall. | ||
| So when I see a fly-by-night, hey, we cloned this protocol, we cloned this chain, join us, I'm like, why? | ||
| I don't disagree with you, but Library's not a fly-by-night token that's been around for several years. | ||
| Do you know the origin of Library and their initial plans? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Not good. | ||
| And I had conversations with them, and then one day my account just happened to be on that platform, and I was like, I don't know why that happened. | ||
| Hey, one of your own employees put it on that, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| Yeah, it was one of your marketing managers. | ||
| What? | ||
| That's what I was told. | ||
| Yeah, I was told that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nothing nefarious. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't have a marketing manager or at the time or whoever it was. | ||
| I've never had someone that was working for you. | ||
| So I'll tell you, I don't want to turn this into a shilling fraud. | ||
| My apologies. | ||
| But I'm just saying, I don't know how I ended up on that platform. | ||
| I'm not saying anything wrong. | ||
| There's multiple ways to make crypto. | ||
| You can mine it or you can create it. | ||
| Just create it. | ||
| And what mines did is just created them. | ||
| They're not mining them. | ||
| Yeah, but if you read the white paper, you see what they're going to do with the tokens. | ||
| They're not giving them to the executives. | ||
| A lot of companies will create them and then give 20% to the people that started it. | ||
| Those are like pump and dumps. | ||
| Those are dangerous because then they're going to try and pump the value and sell out. | ||
| Doge did that. | ||
| Tron, I would imagine. | ||
| I don't want to spit on Tron, Justin, if that's not what you're doing, but I think they did that. | ||
| One of the guys sold out on Tron. | ||
| Once what so you got to read the white paper That's the first step if you really want to know if the crypt is legit or not read the white paper And they'll tell you imagine chats going freaking bananas Also, is it tied to a value other than just? | ||
| nothing like my Original idea well like mines token you can get views on a network with it It's here was my it was my original idea. | ||
| I talked to bill about this She's like me eight years ago. | ||
| Was it eight years ago. | ||
| It's a long time ago. | ||
| said you create a media network that people can buy tokens with. Tokens are | ||
| exchanged for advertising on the site. So imagine if in order to buy Google ads | ||
| you needed a Google token. The reason why this would work is because the | ||
| secondary value would be determined by the power of the ads not set by Google. | ||
| So what happened is you were like I want to advertise on Timcast. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, I say it's a hundred tokens to run an ad on Timcast. | ||
| Then you have to buy those on secondary market, or I can sell, or I can sell the ones I already have that you give me. | ||
| Let's say initially I only get a thousand views per video. | ||
| So a hundred tokens costs you a buck because you're not really going to get much for it. | ||
| Then one day it's still a hundred tokens to buy an ad. | ||
| You're getting a hundred thousand views. | ||
| Now people are trying to buy up as many tokens as possible because they know it'll get you access to a hundred thousand views and they're giving me those tokens I can sell back on the market. | ||
| It creates a secondary market for advertising buys. | ||
| Only with a fixed number of tokens. | ||
| Because the value of the tokens doesn't change if you can print them on demand. | ||
| Only based on how much inventory you have. | ||
| So if it turns out you can get 100,000 views, but everything's constantly bought up, the value drops because nobody can buy the ad space. | ||
| So it reaches a point of equilibrium. | ||
| That doesn't limit Bitcoin because we're mining that. | ||
| What we have now are companies who are like, you got 1,000 views! | ||
| That turned into $300! | ||
| And I'm looking at some of these networks where it's like a dude makes a video, gets 300 views, and it says it's $300. | ||
| And I'm like, dude, somebody's getting ripped off. | ||
| Oh, Steam. | ||
| Steam it. | ||
| I'm not talking about anybody. | ||
| They ended up falling apart, Steena. | ||
| I'm not talking about any company in specific. | ||
| I think they got bought up. | ||
| Their token was like $7 at one point. | ||
| My goal is just to get Tim to get less blackpilled on these alt... Here's why I stump for these various alt networks that have never made me any money, is that it costs me zero to support an alternative. | ||
| I don't disagree with that. | ||
| Yeah, that's all I want. | ||
| That's all I want. | ||
| Plus, I think that's all I want for you, Tim. | ||
| I'm just saying, you're not going to see me... It's one way to get past ads. | ||
| There are a bunch of other social networks that are like, you should join up with us and move all of your subscribers. | ||
| And I'm like, I'm going to make my own website. | ||
| I'm going to make my own website and people can sign up for that, that I can control. | ||
| No one can ban me. | ||
| There's no hidden, you know, BS behind the scenes or whatever. | ||
| And I'm going to understand what's going on and grow from there. | ||
| Too many people are trying to exploit big channels and this wave to make money. | ||
| He's right. | ||
| Yeah, they've been doing that since the beginning. | ||
| I used to get those emails in 2007. | ||
| Let me say this one quick thing because I know we're off the rails. | ||
| And then we got to talk about Emily Radzikowski and her hating her own son. | ||
| Yes, that's what it's about. | ||
| Aaron, what was that guy's video that... | ||
| I think that thing that that... | ||
| You know, with... | ||
| What? | ||
| With... | ||
| OzEcho? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you... | |
| It's a thick, Alan Thicke. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| What I want to say is I'm going to tell, I'm going to tell a story on the members only portion of the stream about somebody who tries to take advantage of big channels. | ||
| Somebody, everyone in this room knows you're going to get sued for it. | ||
| Nope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| So yeah, it looks like we're going to have a spicy members only segment. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, we gotta talk about Emily Ratajkowski. | ||
| Great set. | ||
| Great, great set. | ||
| This crypto conversation's amazing, by the way. | ||
| All right, my friends, my friends. | ||
| The first thing I want to say is that we have this story from Vogue. | ||
| Emily Ratajkowski talks about how she essentially despised her own husband and son, and it is some of the creepiest trash I've ever seen from a woke cultist. | ||
| This woman, wow, is it scary what she's saying about her own kid and the guy who gave her the kid. | ||
| Filthy. | ||
| Filthy white guy. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| White guy if you like Emily Radjkowski Mike more power to you. I'm not a fan | ||
| She's made a career off of like whenever some tragedy happens. She posts posting a nude and I'm like I get it | ||
| You know, thank you people like yeah, sure great like people like looking at a naked lady. I get it, but I'm just | ||
| like I'm I think it's kind of look if you want to be an | ||
| Instagram model and you know, I was in movies though Was she in a Bond film? | ||
| She's been in a few movies. | ||
| I saw that Robyn Thicke video and I was like, she is so hot. | ||
| Robyn Thicke, yeah. | ||
| Every picture I see of her, she looks miserable. | ||
| But listen, listen, I'm trying to point out. | ||
| I got no beef. | ||
| You'd like the lady by all means. | ||
| That's your, that's your, your thing for me. | ||
| Not my thing. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| I like the Instagram models that aren't shoving politics down my throat and telling me they hate their white husbands. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| So like, if you want, if you want to get luck, if you want to get naked on Instagram and you want to, you know, uh, you know, post racy photos and be really sexy and all that stuff. | ||
| I enjoy it. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| The issue however is when you do it when there's like a school shooting and then you're like I'm gonna get naked | ||
| Maybe she didn't do that. I'm not saying her. I'm just giving like I'm being hyperbolic. I'm not saying she did | ||
| that I'm just pointing out the stump for a stupid Hollywood, you | ||
| know, so bring attention to like a tragedy They'll get naked and be like look there are a few people | ||
| that do this matter. Yeah, exactly Yeah, and they'll do really weird, like there's... I don't even want to get into some of the creepy things some of these people do. | ||
| But check this out from Vogue. | ||
| Emily Redkowski on pregnancy and why she doesn't want to reveal the gender of her baby. | ||
| All right, well, let's read the first like, let's read the first paragraph and then I want to show you the craziest | ||
| part of this. | ||
| She says, when my husband and I tell friends I'm pregnant, their first question after congratulations is almost always, | ||
| do you know what you want? | ||
| We like to respond that we won't know the gender until our child is 18, and that they'll let us know then. | ||
| Everyone laughs at this. | ||
| There is a truth to our line, though one that hints at possibilities that are much more complex than whatever genitalia our child might be born with. | ||
| The truth that we ultimately have no idea who rather than what is growing inside my belly. | ||
| Who will this person be? | ||
| What kind of person will we become parents to? | ||
| How will they change our lives and who we are? | ||
| It's a wondrous and terrifying concept, one that renders us both helpless and humbled. | ||
| I just want to pause. | ||
| Your child becomes what you raise it to be. | ||
| When you place your child in certain environments, when you tell your child certain things, they become like you. | ||
| They imitate you. | ||
| How is it that we're in this place now where people are like, I'm going to have a kid and I have no idea what the kid will end up thinking or believing? | ||
| I know, right? | ||
| So interesting how kids tend to have the same religion as their parents. | ||
| How did that happen? | ||
| Magic, I guess. | ||
| Why do you think Lydia? | ||
| It's because they're following the blank slate theory. | ||
| They're following constructivism. | ||
| And they think that everyone is born with absolutely no inclinations or tendencies and the society around them shapes them to be whatever. | ||
| You guys ready for this? | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| My friend who is the mother to a three-year-old boy tells me that she didn't think she cared about gender until her doctor broke the news that she was having a son. | ||
| She burst into tears in her office. | ||
| What a terrible thing. | ||
| And then I continued to cry for a whole month, she says matter-of-factly. | ||
| After a difficult birth experience, she developed postpartum depression and decided that she resented her husband more than she'd ever imagined possible. | ||
| So I'll clarify. | ||
| I was... I misconstrued what I read earlier. | ||
| She's talking about somebody else. | ||
| So it's not her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| She told me that she particularly hated, and she made an actual physical list that she kept in her journal, editing it daily, how peacefully he slept. | ||
| There is nothing worse than the undisturbed sleep of a white man in a patriarchal world. | ||
| She shakes her head. | ||
| It was hard to come to terms with the fact that I was bringing another white man into the world, but now I adore him and can't imagine it any other way. | ||
| She also eventually learned to love her husband again. | ||
| The sound of his perfect sleep next to her at night is now tolerable. | ||
| Oh, just tolerable! | ||
| The news will do that. | ||
| That's so I'll clarify I was wrong. I when I first read this paragraph I | ||
| Mistakenly assumed it was coming from Emily herself She's telling us her about somebody else and I realized she | ||
| she had written this about news will do that She's probably talking about herself though | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah But hold on, but hold on. | |
| We're not done yet. | ||
| She says, Despite my apprehensions about having a boy, when I call my best friend to tell her I'm pregnant, we both immediately agree on our shared instinct. | ||
| I'm carrying a boy. | ||
| I'm picturing a dark-haired son, my friend tells me over FaceTime. | ||
| I don't know why, I can just see it. | ||
| I nod and study the red fabric of my couch, trying to imagine a baby boy's tiny body lying next to my thigh. | ||
| I thought she said she won't know the gender of her son until it's 18. | ||
| I hate this. | ||
| I hate all of this. | ||
| her tunes. Everyone has opinions on what to expect from a boy or a girl. Boys develop | ||
| slower. They're more work than girls as toddlers, but they love their mom so much. One friend | ||
| tells me girls mature faster, but are so sensitive. It sounds like she's talking about biological | ||
| sex differences. | ||
| It sounds like she wanted to abort her baby because it was a boy. It sounds like she at | ||
| least considered it. Like she's not talking about how difficult girls are. She's saying | ||
| that. Oh God, a boy, man. Oh man. Let's just take a couple of pills. | ||
| When she's writing about what people say about boys and how they develop, she's criticizing the idea of biological sex differences. | ||
| She says, I don't necessarily fault anyone for these generalizations. | ||
| A lot of our life experiences are gendered, and it would be dishonest to try and deny the reality | ||
| of many of them. But I don't like that we force gender-based preconceptions onto people, let alone | ||
| I want to be a parent who allows my child to show themselves to me. | ||
| And yet I realize that while I may hope my child can determine their own place in the world, they will, no matter what, be faced with the undeniable constraints and constructions of gender before they can speak of, hell, even be born. | ||
| I don't think it's the worst article in the world, to be completely honest. | ||
| I disagree with her. | ||
| But I can respect that at least she recognizes there are some legitimate differences between boys and girls. | ||
| The problem is, there are stark differences. | ||
| It is fair, when she points out, a lot of the things we tell to our kids are based on social constructs. | ||
| This is true. | ||
| Like, you decide to give a kid certain things. | ||
| However, boys still gravitate towards certain things. | ||
| Spatial awareness type projects, construction, building, and young girls towards social. | ||
| Which is why they're like dolls, because it's like communication. | ||
| I mean, boys have action figures, but they play with them differently, right? | ||
| Is it possible? | ||
| Testosterone, we know, is tied to aggression. | ||
| Prenatal testosterone is going to affect the attitudes and desires of young boys. | ||
| And not only that, but for the most part, 98.3% of boys or girls are going to gravitate towards Social things they see from boys and girls. | ||
| Did you guys have Micromachines? | ||
| Hell yeah, dude. | ||
| Those are awesome. | ||
| The video game on NES is actually really good. | ||
| Micromachines? | ||
| Where you have the little tracks and boat loops and stuff? | ||
| The boats are good, too. | ||
| The boats are good? | ||
| Classic. | ||
| You should get it. | ||
| You should try it out someday. | ||
| I think it's a gold card. | ||
| One of those rare NES, like Link had a gold card. | ||
| Or no, it was the ones that were rounded on the end. | ||
| Micromachines. | ||
| Good NES game. | ||
| I don't hate that. | ||
| like fast-moving of not I'm this is a gross generalization but | ||
| Shamed they give boys blue and girls pink. What's that all about? | ||
| This is what one of the things that we talked about the other day. I don't hate that | ||
| I don't hate questioning that kind of thing blue and pink Yeah, I don't hate that. | ||
| A lot of parents now do yellow, right? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Or green. | ||
| The issue is the idea that it's either completely constructivism or completely essentialism. | ||
| It's mostly essential. | ||
| It's like mostly people are, you know, boys are born and have predispositions. | ||
| This is like nature versus nurture. | ||
| So like you're born with a nature and then you're nurtured Mm-hmm around that genetic like there's there's lateral and Horizontal gene translation so like you're born with genes, but then your genes can change Responsive to your environment as you grow this is listen listen This is partly we talked about this, but the other day about how and I think you might agree Jeremy I'll get your opinion on this | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| They talk about feminism, but my argument has always been that feminism absolutely has disdain for femininity. | ||
| Because they're advocating for females to adhere to traditional masculine roles. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| See what I mean? | ||
| Well, third wave feminism is misandry. | ||
| No, no, no, listen. | ||
| All feminism always has been like, women should be able to do that things that men do. | ||
| It's, it's not been men should do the things that women do. | ||
| Like we mentioned this the other day, where's the narrative where it's like, men should be in the home with kids. | ||
| There is a narrative that women should be the CEOs of big companies. | ||
| There's a narrative of men can be with kids, but the traditionally feminine role and the things that we often see expressed by young girls are like shoved aside. | ||
| And, and, and, and we're told basically not to do those things. | ||
| That's third wave feminism? | ||
| No, that's feminism in general. | ||
| Third wave is, to me, feminism, first and second wave, were basically that men and women are equal. | ||
| That was what I was taught growing up. | ||
| And then third wave is more like actually there's not enough women in CEO positions. | ||
| And, you know... | ||
| know, the women's soccer team who lost to a 15 year old boys team should be paid the | ||
| same as the U.S. men's. | ||
| They should. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If they generate as much money, they should. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| 100 percent. | ||
| If they fill up a stadium, I 100 percent agree. | ||
| They do, though. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, that's it though. | ||
| No one gives a shit otherwise. | ||
| We talked about this before, too. | ||
| Ashiza. | ||
| We talked about this before. | ||
| That's still swearing. | ||
| Some people didn't agree, but I was like, dude, it's marketing. | ||
| If Serena Williams can generate millions of dollars in women's tennis. | ||
| She does, though. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yeah, people pay to see her. | ||
| And then she makes more money than the male tennis players. | ||
| Almost all of them. | ||
| So let's have that conversation. | ||
| Like, how much does Serena make compared to how much some of these men make? | ||
| And should they complain about it? | ||
| Men don't complain. | ||
| Who's the biggest male tennis player right now? | ||
| Federer? | ||
| Is it Federer? | ||
| Come on, he's a hundred. | ||
| Roger Federer? | ||
| He's a hundred? | ||
| Yeah, give me like a real number. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know anything about tennis. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| The only thing I know is Serena Williams, man. | ||
| Right, me too. | ||
| She's a superstar. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, what's the hot blonde? | ||
| I mean, the traditionally attractive blonde. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Traditionally attractive blonde. | ||
| Yes, you do. | ||
| I don't know their names, dude. | ||
| Uh, Nat, Nat, uh, Nat, Nana to Lova. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| She was never very good at tennis, but she generated a lot of money cause | ||
| she was smoking hot by traditional standards. | ||
| I don't think she was attractive, but I don't know what that is. | ||
| Blame Martina. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| I know. | ||
| What's her name? | ||
| Megan Rapinoe, the soccer player, the pink haired feminist soccer player that whines about gender wage gap. | ||
| She was in the White House this week talking about wage gap stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If it's true that they're selling out stadiums and they're not the same, they're not. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| No, they're not selling jerseys. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| Because really, when you look at sports, especially now in a post coup era, you're not even putting butts in seats anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You're selling jerseys, you're selling digital game passes. | ||
| NFTs. | ||
| Ian, somebody has to explain those to me after. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Well, I think we already did a crypto show. | ||
| I think we did. | ||
| But yeah, so my argument is simple. | ||
| If they sell the tickets, then they should negotiate better contracts. | ||
| I agree with you, but they don't. | ||
| And so when they come out and they're like, this is sexism, I'm like, well, dude, you negotiated the contract. | ||
| So negotiate a different contract. | ||
| Well, haven't we won this argument? | ||
| It's not a... No, no, you don't understand. | ||
| There are people in media who lie, who are dumb, and there are dumb people who believe the lies. | ||
| The dumbness constantly cycles back forever. | ||
| You'll always be witnessed for it again. | ||
| For the last 10 years, my dunk arm is sore. | ||
| It's like, it's not a wage gap, my friends. | ||
| It's an earnings gap. | ||
| Between all men and all women. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Not between a single man and a single woman. | ||
| And you know if a man makes more money than a woman for doing exactly the same job, it's illegal. | ||
| Nobody wants to hear that. | ||
| Like, show me a man doing the same job as a woman, where the woman makes less, and I will agree. | ||
| Who always says that? | ||
| Is that a Rubinism? | ||
| No, Shapiro does that. | ||
| Does what? | ||
| Show me a woman who makes less money than a man for doing the same job, and we will agree. | ||
| But if you don't, it doesn't exist because it's illegal. | ||
| No, it exists. | ||
| The issue is that it's based on contract negotiations. | ||
| And this is what we just found. | ||
| On the whole. | ||
| On the whole. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Women tend to be not as aggressive, according to Peterson. | ||
| It's not just that. | ||
| It's that it's almost like guys don't care. | ||
| They're willing to take bigger risks. | ||
| This is a fact. | ||
| That's called testosterone. | ||
| It is. | ||
| And so it means a guy sits down for a job interview and he goes, I want a hundred grand. | ||
| And he goes, well, we can't afford to pay a hundred grand. | ||
| Well, then you can't afford to have me, can you? | ||
| And they'll go, okay, can you do 95? | ||
| All right, I'll do 95. | ||
| The woman comes in and they're more agreeable. | ||
| This is scientific. | ||
| I'm not trying to disparage anybody. | ||
| And you can argue agreeableness is a better trait. | ||
| But what happens is they go into a job interview and they say, well, um, what's your offer? | ||
| And they'll say 80,000. | ||
| We'll go. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let me call my husband. | ||
| No, they'll say, OK. | ||
| They'll say, OK. | ||
| I have these conversations with my female friends all the time. | ||
| They're like, they're not paying me enough. | ||
| And I was like, what'd you ask for? | ||
| Well, they offered, you know, 50. | ||
| And I'm like, did you ask for 60 or 70? | ||
| No. | ||
| And I'm like, OK, yeah, well, go ask for it. | ||
| Well, it's too late now. | ||
| I got the job. | ||
| Yeah, but you're a misogynist, Tim. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| There is 40,000 people watching. | ||
| You are but 18,000 subscribers short of 1 million subscribers. | ||
| It's getting close. | ||
| Well, they're probably all subscribed. | ||
| Is it going to be the golden YouTube button? | ||
| If you're like me, there's like 40% of them that are subscribed. | ||
| You guys gotta subscribe right now. | ||
| And leave a like on the video. | ||
| Alright, well I don't know what that has to do with the conversation about women not getting paid or anything. | ||
| There are a lot of women in the crowd. | ||
| I will pay you women equally if you leave a like. | ||
| Jordan Peterson is subscribed. | ||
| Peterson's a clinical psychologist, you probably know. | ||
| Let's break a million subscribers tonight. | ||
| Tell your friends. | ||
| Jordan Peterson has posted clinical data about agreeableness, which is a personality trait. | ||
| I feel so bad. | ||
| Yeah, he got kind of raked for it. | ||
| But women tend to be more agreeable on average, and that's because of their communication skills in the family. | ||
| It's about not, you know, shutting people down. | ||
| But men are—it's way easier for, on average, men to be less agreeable, which is why contract negotiations— Men are stupider? | ||
| It's the greater male variability hypothesis that women tend to cluster around the center of the bell curve, and men have a wider bell curve, meaning you are more likely to encounter a really dumb man. | ||
| You're also more likely to encounter a really smart man. | ||
| So I thought about this too, because there's a trope about women saying, God, men are so dumb. | ||
| They're not wrong. | ||
| But men are also so smart. | ||
| Because if you have 100 men and 100 women, you're going to have 10 dumb women, 80 average women, and 10 smart women. | ||
| And if you have 100 men, you're going to have 20 really dumb men, 60 average, and 20 super smart men. | ||
| And the stupidest of humans will tend to be men, and the smartest humans will tend to be men. | ||
| Yes, so here's what happens. | ||
| If you have 100 men and 100 women, and you've got 20 male geniuses and 10 female geniuses, you now have two to one competing for the same job. | ||
| Those aren't actual numbers. | ||
| The statistics are probably very different. | ||
| That'd be if everybody in the world was applying for one job. | ||
| And let's say there's five positions. | ||
| There's 30 people and 20 of them are guys. | ||
| There's a very high probability it will be all five guys. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| All five. | ||
| That's how you end up with all the male CEOs. | ||
| Not because of sexism, but because you've got... If you reached your hand into a hat, okay? | ||
| Let's just do regular old... A sexism hat. | ||
| A regular probability. | ||
| Say, we're gonna do blind hiring. | ||
| So we have the smartest women and the smartest men in this hat. | ||
| We only have five. | ||
| You pull one, two, three, four, five. | ||
| Very strong likelihood. | ||
| All dudes. | ||
| And if you take into account that the extremes tend to be male, and you're only trying to fill one role, which is the CEO of Google, you look for the smartest human, which tends to be, it's not always the case, a guy. | ||
| Intelligence is a weird word, too. | ||
| And the more people that exist, the bigger the gap becomes. | ||
| Because if it's two to one, you're gonna have one job, the CEO of Google, and you're gonna have two million guys and one million women. | ||
| Two million from each. | ||
| So what they do then is you get these equity constructivist people who are like, well, then you have to choose the women. | ||
| And it's like, that doesn't make sense either. | ||
| Well, that's how it is, though. | ||
| You pull them out of the hat, congratulations, you got a guy. | ||
| So in my day job, I have at least one Fortune 500 company that works for me. | ||
| And I've seen this garbage on the internals of corporate culture. | ||
| And it's real. | ||
| It's not we need to hire the best person for the job. | ||
| Not at the executive level, at the sales level, at any job that is like... Get woke, go broke. | ||
| Not at the level where performance matters, but where the level where people see... Performance always matters, man. | ||
| It does not. | ||
| Especially in the military. | ||
| In the military, yeah. | ||
| I don't want to rear end the conversation, but that's what I keep thinking about. | ||
| Let's say you have 100 employees and 80 do the actual birdhouse manufacturing. | ||
| They're using McGinty screws, probably, too. | ||
| Let's say you've got 80 people actually doing the work, you've got 15 people in an administrative and managerial role, and then five executives. | ||
| You put in one bad executive, and they start just doing weird things. | ||
| Even if they're not involved in the day-to-day process, eventually an email pops up where they scream bigotry, disrupt operations, slug up the time, and then everything starts getting jammed up, and they will perform worse than a company that doesn't have that weirdo person. | ||
| Yeah, but that doesn't prevent them from getting the job. | ||
| What I'm saying is that diversity quotas are freaking real. | ||
| They're real. | ||
| And if they can't fill it in an existing role, they create them. | ||
| And that's why you end up with the diversity czar or whatever the hell it is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Chief diversity officer. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, that's what it... I mean, it's real. | ||
| Like, I'm not... I mean, that shouldn't be controversial to say. | ||
| You know what that really is? | ||
| When they create the position called, like, the Office of Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity... By the way, it's never a man that has that job. | ||
| When they create these positions, they're basically akin to creating the Chinese Communist Party offices in Chinese businesses. | ||
| They want their church in every company. | ||
| And they're winning. | ||
| They're getting these things. | ||
| Imagine! | ||
| Every company had to have a Christian church and chaplain to administer the proper Christian ideology to what the business does. | ||
| That's what they're doing with the diversity and inclusivity and equity stuff. | ||
| Do you know how these job negotiations go? | ||
| It's like the mob. | ||
| Or it's like when you're black and you get pulled over in a small town. | ||
| Like, ooh, your taillight's out. | ||
| Like, ooh, that's a nice business you have there. | ||
| Sure would be a shame if something happened to it. | ||
| You should probably hire me. | ||
| I have $150,000 in college debt from Columbia. | ||
| I have a degree in gender studies. | ||
| You should probably hire me as a diversity. | ||
| If you look at every major video game company, Riot Games, Blizzard, they all have these roles and they're all completely useless and they all make huge money. | ||
| It's like a mafia. | ||
| Remember how, like, Magic the Gathering used to have all the angels were, like, red-headed, busty women? | ||
| No, I don't remember it, because it was 20 years ago. | ||
| But now the cards are, like, frumpy, warrior-looking, armored, manly women. | ||
| Half-shaved head, flipped over the top. | ||
| By the way, shout-out to... | ||
| I got no problem with it. | ||
| I just don't play Magic anymore. | ||
| I don't have a problem with either. | ||
| I don't buy it. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| They're allowed to do whatever they want and more power to them. | ||
| Congratulations on your success. | ||
| Yeah, congratulations on ruining the best game ever. | ||
| But the... I'm not even saying that. | ||
| I'm saying... I am. | ||
| I'm saying that. | ||
| Make your own game, bro. | ||
| Which we are doing. | ||
| Make Magic the quartering. | ||
| Yeah, well, if you want a game, that's fun. | ||
| Listen, you or I, nobody's entitled to this game. | ||
| It's not our game. | ||
| Right, that's why I walked away, though. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I didn't want it. | ||
| The libertarian approach is, I'm a big fan of the game. | ||
| They've changed it in ways I don't like. | ||
| It's not the shaved head women that ruined it. | ||
| It's the mechanics. | ||
| It's the tri-lands. | ||
| It's the power creep, really, that killed it. | ||
| And then they're printing singles now, basically. | ||
| Do you know why that happened? | ||
| The power creep? | ||
| They got lazy. | ||
| They sold out. | ||
| They wanted a lower common denominator in gameplay. | ||
| Dude, they wanted a lower common denominator in gameplay. | ||
| They want people of no skill to be able to play and feel powerful. | ||
| Do you remember when a 2-drop 3-3 was like a bannable card? | ||
| I'm serious. | ||
| When a one-drop two-two, that's the must-have. | ||
| Savannah Lion was the best card on the planet. | ||
| Grizzly Bears. | ||
| Yeah, or Grizzly Bears. | ||
| That's a two-drop two-two. | ||
| Nobody has any idea what we're talking about, so let me simplify. | ||
| Four for a five-five, have a drawback. | ||
| Okay, here's what's happening, for those that don't understand the game. | ||
| For a long time, it was a kind of slow game. | ||
| It's a card game where you play cards, you're battling an opponent. | ||
| People call it poker and chess combined. | ||
| It's like poker and chess. | ||
| Poker and chess combined. | ||
| Over time, as the company got more woke, there were some instances. | ||
| For one, a comic shop had a Keck flag in a flower pot or something on a shelf. | ||
| Someone saw it. | ||
| The shop got banned from buying Magic Gathering products. | ||
| I did a fundraiser for them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Fire and dice. | ||
| What's happening now is, as Ian and Jeremy bring up, power creep. | ||
| That describes how the game is making cards that are just so insanely powerful. | ||
| Too powerful. | ||
| What's actually happening is, they want people of no skill to be able to play. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The game has become a dice roll. | ||
| We actually have a joke, right Ian? | ||
| Where instead of playing, we're just like, we'll roll a 20-sided die. | ||
| Whoever gets it, you win. | ||
| I won. | ||
| Reshuffle. | ||
| Yep, reshuffle. | ||
| Reshuffle again. | ||
| Shuffling's the most fun anyway. | ||
| Yeah, so it's gotten to the point where- It's ridiculous. | ||
| Because they'll print new every year they'll make new cards so over the years they would print better better and more | ||

powerful card ten years So it's supposed to be like poker chess poker and chess | |
| never change. It's the same game for thousands of years They never added new pieces right this game is we can't is | ||
| to keep the game fresh. They want to update things the problem is | ||
| They they don't want skill anymore It was always difficult to be the best to win, to craft the best deck. | ||
| Now it's like, these cards are insane. | ||
| Certain decks are built around one guy, you get the cards to build that deck, and then that is the deck that wins. | ||
| They want people who have fun going, yay, dragons! | ||
| Oh no, goblin! | ||
| Flip a coin, I win! | ||
| Let me tell you what really ruined it. | ||
| And then we'll get off because I'm sure Chad is just. | ||
| Well we're we're we're not. | ||
| They're they're chill. | ||
| OK. But I'm just as much as OK. | ||
| But but the power creep was bad enough. | ||
| But when Wizards the makers of the game they took the woke | ||
| characters and then specifically made them O.P. | ||
| to to write. | ||
| Sure. Like it's not enough that we have a | ||
| ace a gender It also has to be the best character in the game. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And we need to force. | ||
| Like Captain Marvel. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We need to force, quote unquote, everyone to play competitive deck to also play with this so then they can talk about this or that every week. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| This is what's happening. | ||
| We've talked about movies. | ||
| We've talked about the woke-ification of the industry and how the ideology is more important than the content. | ||
| That's what they're doing. | ||
| Have you seen, my favorite movie guy, have you seen The New Craft? | ||
| No! | ||
| Do I look like I love torture? | ||
| You need to watch it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| No! | ||
| You need to watch it. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's like literally watching a torture film. | ||
| The film has no plot. | ||
| Way to sell it. | ||
| There's no real plot. | ||
| It is literally like, imagine if you watched a video where it was just someone explaining to you why you should be woke. | ||
| That's what it is for two hours. | ||
| That sounds awesome. | ||
| Where can I pay for this? | ||
| So instead of making a compelling story where you have an agendered character who fought a dragon and the dragon bit off his arm or their arm. | ||
| So brutal what they're doing is they're saying it doesn't matter if you win or lose it matters that we all have the | ||
| right ideology The right opinions | ||
| Yeah so instead of making a compelling story where you have an | ||
| Agendered character who fought a dragon and the dragon bit off his arm or their arm, which is fine. Yeah | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then they're like, I had to fight. | ||
| And you know, in my, in my world, the world I come from, gender isn't a construct. | ||
| You'd be like, Oh, that's an interesting, you know, like you ever watch sliders the way they go to the opposite dimensions? | ||
| I did watch it downstairs. | ||
| It was on the TV. | ||
| No, no, better yet, better yet. | ||
| Star Trek The Next Generation has an episode where they go to a planet where all the men are small. | ||
| By the way, one of the most woke shows, like in an unforceful way. | ||
| TNG. | ||
| Of our area. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| They go to a planet where the women are all very tall and strong and dominant, and the men are all small and demure and weak. | ||
| And the women of that planet are like, a man coming in, making really interesting points about society and things like that, and exploring these alternate versions of civilization. | ||
| It would be fun to explore that instead what happens is that instead of going to the amp like in the next generation they go to this planet and then Riker explains to this woman how her ways are wrong how you there needs to be equality and how the federation understands equality instead what we're getting now is Riker would show if they did this today today's day and age commander Riker would show up the woman would be like women are actually way better than men And then Riker would go, wow, I didn't realize that. | ||
| You're so correct. | ||
| So it's not that they're actually teaching us how to be good people and to work with others. | ||
| They're just asserting that some are better than others. | ||
| So Captain Marvel got ragged on quite a bit. | ||
| So when I was in Avengers Endgame theater, That last one, I was like, wait a minute, Tim. | ||
| The secret's out. | ||
| He was Thanos. | ||
| Who were you in Avengers Endgame? | ||
| Oh, yeah, I can't remember. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| When I was in the theater, and Thanos, when Captain Marvel breaks with the ship, the audience groaned. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Mine too. | ||
| And then when Thanos headbutts her, and then she doesn't flinch at all, they went, oh! | ||
| The crowd cheered when he punched her in my theater. | ||
| When he took the Power Stone out, it was like, pow! | ||
| The crowd cheered. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| They groaned, man. | ||
| I groaned, too. | ||
| Because it's like, dude, she wasn't even in the movie. | ||
| Her entire role in the movie was to be the most powerful character. | ||
| She did it in 18 seconds and left. | ||
| The problem is Captain Marvel is a guy. | ||
| And it has been since the 50s or whenever they made him. | ||
| Very fair point. | ||
| And then they recast it as a woman. | ||
| Fine, if she wants to play a male character. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's not the problem. | |
| But they changed it into a female for some reason. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| That is a problem. | ||
| Well, for me, that's a problem. | ||
| I don't see that as a problem. | ||
| The problem I see is she's like a fighter jet exploded and now I'm the most powerful being in the universe, even more powerful than Thanos. | ||
| We watched the Hulk get thrashed by Thanos. | ||
| They did that. | ||
| Infinity War was amazing. | ||
| The Hulk has 15 films established of being super powerful. | ||
| And they did that in the beginning to show you how strong Thanos was. | ||
| Then we have this woman who's not in the films at all, show up and Thanos headbutts her, and she doesn't flinch, and the audience groaned. | ||
| I don't care to rehash silly pop culture things in this regard, but this one's important because it's a perfect example of why it does not work. | ||
| The reason it doesn't work is that if there's no challenge, life is boring. | ||
| Yeah, it's just the challenge. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Well, that's why I don't like Marvel. | ||
| It's not even the challenge. | ||
| There are no stakes. | ||
| Like, they can't lose. | ||
| The heroes can't lose. | ||
| You can't lose. | ||
| So, like, during Endgame, when Hawkeye and Black Widow have this really intense moment of who they're literally fighting over who's going to kill themselves, right? | ||
| You're like, oh, man, this is some real ish, you know? | ||
| And they're like, ah, Pym Particles will just go back. | ||
| Did you read the Infinity Gauntlet? | ||
| The original? | ||
| No. | ||
| They killed heroes and they were gruesome. | ||
| Spider-Man had his head bashed in with a rock. | ||
| But that's how it should be. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| It was gut-wrenching. | ||
| Do you remember Weapon X? | ||
| Wolverine was my all-time favorite. | ||
| And then Magneto in the comic books rips out all his enemies. | ||
| Oh, it's so good. | ||
| And he's basically a head in a bottle. | ||
| They would never risk that in modern post. | ||
| You gotta kill your heroes. | ||
| Yes, you have to. | ||
| You can't have this baloney sausage where you're like, oh, let's get some Pym Particles and just go back and fix everything. | ||
| No. | ||
| When I saw you die in Civil War, I- you should stay dead. | ||
| Because then it matters! | ||
| I don't mind that they came back, but Infinity War, I think, was a masterpiece, and Endgame was just like... Garbage. | ||
| Garbage. | ||
| Just say it. | ||
| Garbage. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It was like, you ever see that Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns is an alien? | ||
| They think it's an alien, but it turns out Mr. Burns is irradiated and he's blind? | ||
| I love you! | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And then it ends with them singing Good Morning Starshine and holding hands. | ||
| That's what Endgame was. | ||
| Yes, it was. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| My wife, so my wife is not a Marvel fan. | ||
| She likes Thor because she's a woman and she has primal needs and she enjoys... So she likes Sam's worth? | ||
| We have a basic... For Endgame, we have basically the same body type. | ||
| So she was basically living her dream. | ||
| But like, when we were in the theater and they had that I am Woman moment in Endgame, where all the women, she literally leaned over to me and was like, And she, by the way, she's never watched. | ||
| I have 2000 videos in the quarter and never watched one of them. | ||
| So she's not like into this cult. | ||
| She said, Normie. | ||
| That's why she, that's why it works for us. | ||
| I can't remember where I was, which, which city I was in. | ||
| Oh, I do, I do. | ||
| I was in, I was in, um, like... Where did I see this? | ||
| Was I in... Pittsburgh? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I think I was in, like, um... Havre de Grace. | ||
| You know where that is? | ||
| In Maryland. | ||
| I was somewhere near there. | ||
| I'm pretty sure that's where... I could be wrong. | ||
| But yeah, people were groaning. | ||
| These are, like, regular suburbanite people. | ||
| This is not too far from the D.C. | ||
| area. | ||
| And they were groaning at these things. | ||
| So, listen. | ||
| This... The bigger picture here, why this matters to people who may have not seen the movie, is that... | ||
| You take the traditional hero's journey, which is formulaic, but doesn't always have to be the same. | ||
| And you look at, actually, I'll give you an example. | ||
| There's a really great breakdown where they compare Captain America to Captain Marvel as films, and why they don't work. | ||
| And what the guy reviewing it doesn't mention, because he probably doesn't know, is that he's pointing out all of the woke So he's like, you know, we see the character development of Steve Rogers. | ||
| He's a small, scrawny man. | ||
| He's weak, and he's getting brutally beaten down, but he's willing to stand up for himself against all the odds. | ||
| Captain Marvel is a perfect soldier who is insulted even though she's a great fighter pilot. | ||
| A guy makes fun of her. | ||
| Then she proves herself as a great fighter pilot, and then she gets superpowers. | ||
| There's no development. | ||
| Watching Captain America, my favorite scene, is when Tommy Lee Jones, he's like, he's not gonna cut, it's about spirit! | ||
| And then he pulls the grenade pin and throws it. | ||
| All the soldiers run away and then Steve as a scrawny guy jumps on it and says, get back! | ||
| That was establishing that he was willing to sacrifice himself for others, that even though he wasn't the strongest, he had character. | ||
| And then you see the doctor who's Stanley Tucci, he, like, laughs. | ||
| Captain Marvel instead. | ||
| But that's not even her fault. | ||
| That's not even her fault. | ||
| It's just garbage writing. | ||
| It's not Brie Larson's fault. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Brie's better than that. | ||
| That's the problem. | ||
| Yeah, they could have given her a great story so she could earn it, but they wanted to fast-track it. | ||
| And that's why it sucked. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I don't think they wanted to fast-track it. | ||
| I think it's like you described with the Magic the Gathering character. | ||
| They're like, okay, if we make a feminist character, she has to be the strongest and the best no matter what. | ||
| So that's what they do. | ||
| They already had Scarlet Witch, though, and they just didn't give a shit about her. | ||
| Is she supposed to be super powerful, Scarlet Witch? | ||
| Scarlet Witch is the most powerful. | ||
| She's the most powerful. | ||
| Mega level mutant. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She rewrites reality. | ||
| Why is she so boring? | ||
| To me. | ||
| I mean, I can only say Disney+. | ||
| It was on Disney+. | ||
| They never really wrote her character out in the comics. | ||
| In the comics, she's one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful. | ||
| There's arguments about who's the most powerful. | ||
| I mean, Jean Grey took care of Captain Marvel. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But isn't the X-Men animated series based off Rogue, wiping out Captain Marvel and taking all her powers? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| There you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| That happened. | ||
| But Scarlet Witch can rewrite reality and did in House of M, this comic book arc, and took away all the powers from everybody. | ||
| What they did with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in Age of Ultron was weak. | ||
| Was weak, weak, weak. | ||
| Weak sauce. | ||
| Super weak. | ||
| But, so all she's doing is throwing energy blasts at you. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| That looked lame. | ||
| Well, they're now changing that with WandaVision. | ||
| They're making it so that... She showed her true power in that. | ||
| Yeah, and she's reading the book. | ||
| Though, I'm sorry, WandaVision was bad. | ||
| It was a six out of 10. | ||
| It was bad because she was the villain and the good guy gets arrested in the end. | ||
| She, but here's the thing you, you recognize that, but regular people don't. | ||
| I said that too, when I said, I said, Oh, you guys know that Wanda's the villain, right? | ||
| And the good guy was like, we have to stop her because she's enslaved 3,000 people. | ||
| She's enslaved a whole city because her feelings are hurt. | ||
| And people are like, wow, strong, independent woman. | ||
| She's related to the Olsen twins. | ||
| Actually, she's an evil character. | ||
| You see the correlation with the wokeness, though? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| WandaVision is a story. | ||
| Monica Rambeau, too, in that series, too. | ||
| She gained powers because she broke through the barrier or something. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So lame. | ||
| But listen. | ||
| WandaVision is, her feelings are hurt, she's depressed and angry, so she enslaves, literally, this is the story, she enslaves 3,000 people, and they're suffering and begging for death. | ||
| They have that one episode. | ||
| And she's the good guy! | ||
| Because it's her feelings! | ||
| And then I love the end, spoiler alert for everybody who hasn't seen it yet, but I'm gonna say it. | ||
| Everyone's seen it. | ||
| He's like though when when the fake vision goes they'll never know what you sacrificed for them. It's like dude | ||
| She's enslaving them and they're begging for death. I know yeah, there's the yes | ||
| They're like, please let us die and she's like no That's like dude Wow second last episode | ||
| I think is where it might be the last or the second last but where the townspeople were basically like yeah, like | ||
| Pain this is why I'm for but she was the good guy and the the was it the sword agent | ||
| I think it was he's like the bad guy. We're gonna send in a drone | ||
| He was the heal stop her because she's enslaved 3,000 people it ends with him getting arrested like for what? | ||
| This is why I'm up for giving people's wealth away when they die. | ||
| Because Disney, whoever owns that or runs that, does not deserve that. | ||
| Why do people get these great corporations and then just do terrible things with them? | ||
| Listen, look at Captain Marvel. | ||
| In the movie Captain Marvel, there's a guy in a motorcycle. | ||
| He sees her and he goes, hey, why don't you smile more? | ||
| And the next scene is she's wearing his clothes and on his bike. | ||
| So basically... No, you forgot the part where she breaks his arm. | ||
| So they're basically like, Terminator 2 is cool, let's reuse it. | ||
| That's what they were saying, but listen. | ||
| This means the character who's supposed to be a hero has shown her character as that of a villain. | ||
| That if someone offends her delicate sensibilities, she will injure and steal from him. | ||
| Batman and Superman never killed, no matter what, and they were really... Hold on, hold on. | ||
| I'm getting there. | ||
| And there were really amazing storylines like the Justice Lords, where when Joker did trick Superman into, I guess, effectively killing Lois, and then Superman blames Batman saying, you could have stopped him. | ||
| At any point, if you just killed this man, Lois would still be alive, and he becomes a despot. | ||
| But these are like alternate imaginings and alternate realities. | ||
| What makes Superman and Batman heroes is that they won't cross the line. | ||
| There have been instances, they've written that. | ||
| They do in the most recent DC films. | ||
| Batman does kill a bunch of people. | ||
| I know! | ||
| I hated that. | ||
| I hated that. | ||
| That was his line. | ||
| His morals was like, killing is wrong. | ||
| And if I have the option, I won't do it. | ||
| They're just jumping the shark. | ||
| They're selling it all out. | ||
| But you know what's a really... I want to just mention this about... You talked about Captain Marvel and her... | ||
| Oh, wait, no, I think I lost it. | ||
| I think I lost it. | ||

| Paxton Haral says, sadly you missed my chat from yesterday, but I sold more non-PC cards, so enjoy more MTG money, courtesy of the woke inflation. | ||
| Oh, you're selling your cards, your magic cards. | ||
| I've gone through multiple phases of that. | ||
| I won't sell them, but I gotta tell you, I am concerned. | ||
| Magic, for those that aren't familiar, is one of the best investments you can make. | ||
| Because they always go up in value. | ||
| For some reason, it's just always... That's inflation. | ||
| Because they, yeah, so... And also the rarity. | ||
| The rarity and they don't make them anymore and then you need to buy them. | ||
| It's their collector's cards. | ||
| So now I'm actually worried because the games, you know, it might get woke and go broke. | ||
| It's just becoming absurd and I don't want to play it anymore. | ||
| And it's a game I played since I was like seven or eight years old. | ||
| And if I'm at the point where like, I'm just like, I'm not having fun playing. | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| This game's insane now. | ||
| What was your first deck? | ||
| Um, my first deck, I don't know. | ||
| It was, it was built of antiquities cards. | ||
| And then a bunch of weird sets. | ||
| And then I eventually bought a pre-made, uh, fourth edition. | ||
| And then I started buying Fallen Kingdoms, I think it was. | ||
| Oh, Fallen Empires. | ||
| Fallen Empires, there you go. | ||
| God, what a terrible set. | ||
| Terrible set, but it was 80 cents per pack, so. | ||

| We are currently looking over a handful of resumes and, uh, it's, it's, you know, it's really tough about this. | ||

| So all these people apply, and then it's like the day someone's looking, whichever one is like right there in front of them are the ones we go through, and we can only go through like a couple dozen, so it's really just not that easy, you know? | ||
| Here's what you need to do. | ||
| As someone who's hired a lot of people, you need to not spend your time accepting a ton of applications. | ||
| What you need to do is spend your time devising a very complex way of applying. | ||

| Not necessarily even that, but give me $50 and I'll read your application. | ||
| That works. | ||
| But like, when I used to hire, so I worked for an internet marketing incubator, which meant we had a lot of internet marketing companies underneath us. | ||
| We had one super rich dude that would just invest in various websites. | ||
| We had like, go to this store, do this thing, and then ultimately, We would make them fax us their resume. | ||
| Because it's 2021. | ||
| Who the hell is faxing you a resume, right? | ||
| But people who really want to do it will do it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| People that read the description of the application would do it. | ||
| I would weed out 99% of applications that were not detail oriented. | ||
| Oh, that is such a good idea. | ||
| I tweeted about looking to hire somebody. | ||
| And then Michael Malice suggested someone. | ||
| And he said something. | ||
| He made a joke about the first line. | ||
| Don't hire your friends. | ||
| He said the first line of their email must be the best thing I like about Michael Malice is and so I went into my email and I searched and I found like 16 emails. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| This means the people were following me and Michael and other people and the conversation they were tuned in. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So while it may sound silly and maybe a funny joke between like, you know, me and Michael or whatever, it actually was a really good indicator. | ||
| This person was paying attention and knew. | ||
| So it is things like that and we're actually hiring someone because of that silly joke. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because, you know, it's proof that they're aware of what's happening and, you know, they're following it. | ||
| All right, Lucas Parada says, you should have Lucas Parada on the show. | ||
| Oh, he has lots of vacation time and could be your first Canadian migrant on the show since lockdown. | ||

| Could have Revelations Bible Breakdown for TimCast exclusive. | ||
| That would actually be a really interesting thing to do for the newer paranormal stuff, though. | ||

| I try to stream around you because you suck up like half my viewers. | ||
| But like... Well, it's saturation, you know? | ||
| Yeah, whatever. | ||
| You do a live stream at night? | ||
| Well, yeah, if I do and it's like 8.01, people are like, Man, I'm sorry, I'm leaving for TimCast. | ||
| So you're like, I gotta go on TimCast to get my views back. | ||
| There's a ton of custodians, OTR, over-the-road truck drivers that just listen. | ||

| Baileyan says, does this mean you're going to be laying down the Milk Toast Beanie wisdom to the people at Fox News now? | ||
| So, they sent a truck to my house, to this house. | ||
| That was a cool thing to see. | ||
| I was pulling in right when they were pulling up and Lyds is driving and she's like, that's the Amazon driver. | ||
| They have a press tag in their window. | ||
| It's a company where they send out trucks and they open the door and there's a TV behind you and you sit in a chair and there's a camera in front of you and it's like, What kind of camera was it? | ||
| Did you buy it? | ||
| I do have one of those, actually. | ||
| The camera he had was interesting. | ||
| I walked out and was like, oh, hey, I have one of those. | ||
| We don't use them for the show. | ||
| We just filmed earlier because I did... We filmed... I made cinnamon toast crunch. | ||
| Oh, it was good. | ||
| Fried shrimp. | ||
| I had a different version. | ||
| I had Andreas's version. | ||
| You had Andreas's version. | ||
| So, did you hear the story in the New York Times about the guy with the shrimp? | ||
| I'm on the internet, too. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| It's a funny story. | ||
| This guy was eating a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and shrimp tails came out. | ||
| Allegedly. | ||
| I mean, it's a photo, so I would say a guy posted photos of what he says came out of his box, sure. | ||
| Also married to Topanga, one of my first crushes ever. | ||
| From Boy Meets World? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, so here's the funny thing. | ||
| General Mills apparently said that those were actually just gobs of cinnamon and sugar clustered together. | ||
| Bologna! | ||
| They were shrimp tails for sure! | ||
| Yeah, he took a picture. | ||
| So someone, as a gag, breaded shrimp and fried it with a habanero pineapple sauce reduction and said it was good, but would be better without Cinnamon Toast Crunch. | ||
| And I said he did it wrong. | ||
| The issue is that pineapple habanero doesn't go with cinnamon. | ||
| So we pulverized Cinnamon Toast Crunch, we breaded the shrimp, we rolled the shrimp in it, egg, and then Cinnamon Toast Crunch, fried it, and then we made a garlic ginger sauce. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And it was delicious. | ||
| And for the record, Tim did invite me over for the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shrimp tails. | ||
| Not shrimp tails, we cut those up. | ||
| Just shrimp, but Lydia thankfully picked me up and took me to America's most healthy dining facility, McDonald's. | ||
| So we made the sauce. | ||
| Andreas made a similar version. | ||
| He made his own. | ||
| He made a garlic sauce too, didn't he? | ||
| I couldn't tell. | ||
| I like him. | ||
| First time I met him today. | ||
| Yeah, he's a cool dude. | ||
| Super high energy. | ||
| But then you tried the cinnamon toast crunch shrimp and you thought it was good. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| Look, listen. | ||
| When you have, like, Chinese food, it's sugar sauce. | ||
| They put sugar and garlic and soy sauce and rice wine and stuff, and they mix it together in a little ginger, and then it's sugar. | ||
| It's brighted sugar. | ||
| It's like yummy, yummy sauce. | ||
| You ever have that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| It's just sugar. | ||
| If we bread the shrimp—I'm gonna do chicken next. | ||
| We're gonna make—so we're calling this General Mills shrimp. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Because, like, General So, but General Mills. | ||
| That's racist, Tim. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| It's Chinese food. | ||
| And then we're going to make Captain's Chicken, because we're going to take pulverized Captain Crunch and bread chicken with it and then put it in a golden brown sauce. | ||
| Is that tomorrow? | ||
| Because I'll come by tomorrow. | ||
| You can make that tomorrow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And all the ingredients. | ||
| I'll be here tomorrow then for dinner. | ||
| All right, Eddie says, Hey guys and Jeremy, I work as a software engineer and it's scary how easy it is to implement analytics and track the user. | ||
| When I started to notice this, it became ugly scary to me. | ||
| We live in a time where we are more exposed than ever if people don't seem to care. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they can't see it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| They can't see it negatively impacting them. | ||
| Well, because people have such an insane value on convenience. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It's never been higher probably in human, in our history. | ||
|
unidentified
|
100%. | |
| Convenience. | ||
| My friends. | ||
| And so you're willing to trade everything for it. | ||
| We got good news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Let's see. | ||
| How do you pronounce this? | ||
| Sirnoverlord? | ||
| Sirnoverlord says, Hey Tim, first-time caller, long-time listener. | ||
| What's your opinion on the Ninth Appeals Court ruling that Second Amendment does not cover carry of weapons outside of your home? | ||
| I'm so excited for this. | ||
| It was the best ruling ever. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| If the lower court ruled that you could, then congratulations. | ||
| In Hawaii, you can open carry. | ||
| But now that's going to the Supreme Court. | ||
| Guess what's happening. | ||
| Which is 6-2-3. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm hoping the conservatives rule properly. | ||
| We may actually see a ruling at the Supreme Court level that says you cannot stop someone from openly carrying a weapon. | ||
| Anywhere. | ||
| Anywhere for any reason. | ||
| In Hawaii, you're allowed to open carry if you have a legitimate reason. | ||
| Kentucky too. | ||
| Kentucky you can open carry. | ||
| There are other open carry states. | ||
| Hawaii says, you're allowed to open carry if you fill out the form, provide a legitimate purpose, and we approve you. | ||
| This guy said, no, I should be able to openly bear arms, concealed or otherwise, without needing a permit. | ||
| Is this the Publix guy? | ||
| Uh, no. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| So here's what might happen. | ||
| If the Supreme Court says the Second Amendment applies outside your home, then states like New Jersey, Maryland, New York, Illinois, Hawaii, all of a sudden, you're allowed to go to the store, buy a gun, and walk around with it in your hand. | ||
| As you should. | ||
| As you should, by the way. | ||
| In the store? | ||
| Keep and bear arms. | ||
| Oh, but not in private. | ||
| The store's private. | ||
| Private, okay. | ||
| You can still ban it from a business, yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now, that Publix guy has an interesting story. | ||
| You hear this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He had six guns and body armor. | ||
| He was gonna do a mass shooting, in my opinion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| I don't know that. | ||
| I do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who else does that? | |
| What do you mean, why? | ||
| Then why didn't he? | ||
| He walked in the bathroom and walked out and they grabbed him. | ||
| He pussed out. | ||
| He pussed out. | ||
| He was absolutely gonna do it. | ||
| There's... Look, if you... There's no... What was... | ||
| The point he was proving. | ||
| I don't care what you think. | ||
| I'm not saying he should be convicted, because you can't prove it. | ||
| I'm not going to read his mind. | ||
| What's the story? | ||
| Guy walked into a Publix with six guns and body armor, went to the bathroom, and then walked out and they arrested him. | ||
| Not just six. | ||
| It was like an AR. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He had an AR-15, he had a shotgun, and he had four handguns. | |
| He had ammunition and four pistols. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So what? | ||
| So he was loaded. | ||
| Yes, absolutely. | ||
| That definitely wasn't a self-defense. | ||
| Does the Second Amendment say, the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed unless, of course, you're carrying too many? | ||
| No. | ||
| That would indicate it's not self-defense. | ||
| He wasn't doing that for self-defense. | ||
| It doesn't matter legally. | ||
| Where's self-defense in the Second Amendment? | ||
| That's the point of it is self-defense. | ||
| No, it isn't. | ||
| It says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. | ||
| It doesn't say that. | ||
| But that's why they put it in there. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| That's what they said. | ||
| To protect yourself from the tyranny of the government. | ||
| To protect yourself from the government. | ||
| Bro, bro, bro. | ||
| They didn't say you can wear arms so that you can go kill people and commit crimes. | ||
| That wasn't why they put it in there. | ||
| The original article, before it became the Second Amendment, actually said basically for any reason you can have guns. | ||
| Yeah, I guess they didn't want to say, they didn't want to purport a reason. | ||
| They took this out because they were scared that overly broad language would give someone a legal argument against conscription. | ||
| So what do you think that guy was doing in public? | ||
| Do you think he was just making a political statement? | ||
| I honestly have no idea, but maybe. | ||
| It's been done before. | ||
| Take a guess. | ||
| There was a public statement, maybe. | ||
| There was a story where a guy, after a shooting, went into a Walmart with a gun to make a public statement. | ||
| I remember that one. | ||
| He did it, yeah. | ||
| And then he got charged with nuisance or whatever. | ||
| That I understand, though. | ||
| Was it Milwaukee? | ||
| Because there's a guy in my home state that did it. | ||
| An individual who, how do I say this, a large black male walked into a white neighborhood pick and save, which is a grocery store, with an AR, and he got arrested. | ||
| Now, he said he was just making a political statement. | ||
| But we don't have open carry in Wisconsin. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When I look at that situation, do I think he was gonna do the worst thing? | ||
| No, I don't think he was gonna. | ||
| I think he thought in his head, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna get famous, I'm gonna do this thing. | ||
| So maybe that's what that guy at Publix did. | ||
| Because like you said, the fact that he didn't go through with it is odd. | ||
| You know what we need? | ||
| We need the NRA, they will never do this, but we need a gun rights organization to go to Chicago And find any one of these Southside young black men who are arrested for possession of a firearm. | ||
| So 50 a week? | ||
| 50 a week. | ||
| Now hold on. | ||
| Not every single one of these guys arrested committed a crime. | ||
| Some of them just want to have a gun to protect themselves and their family and they are legally allowed to. | ||
| I'm sorry, I'm sorry. | ||
| No, they illegally own the weapon, the firearm. | ||
| The Constitution says otherwise. | ||
| So if a dude buys a gun and keeps and bears it, and he commits no crime against anybody else, I want to see gun rights groups go to these young black men in Chicago and get them out of jail and dump that money in defending them in court. | ||
| They don't do it though. | ||
| I'm sick and tired of this. | ||
| It's the hypocrisy of ignoring the mass shootings of Chicago. | ||
| Who are these people? | ||
| Who are these people that are going to... Are they felons? | ||
| No. | ||
| Who are illegally... They become felons because they have the gun. | ||
| So when they're a felon, they lose the right. | ||
| There are people in Chicago. | ||
| I'm not disagreeing with you. | ||
| I'm saying, is that who you're talking about? | ||
| I'm explaining. | ||
| There are people in Chicago who have committed no crimes. | ||
| Then they go and they get a gun that is deemed illegal by the state, even though the Constitution says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| What does that look like? | ||
| It means they drive to Indiana, they legally buy the gun and bring it back to Chicago. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| They then get arrested and charged with felony possession. | ||
| I want to see gun rights groups say that these young men have a right to bear arms. | ||
| Why are they going to Indiana, though? | ||
| Because of the gun laws in Chicago? | ||
| So, what's happening to a lot of these guys? | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| I live two hours north. | ||
| Someone will go to Indiana and buy a gun and then transfer it to someone who lives in Chicago. | ||
| So, a straw purchase, which is illegal. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Just saying. | ||
| I think the issue is, regardless of how they got it, they have a right to bear arms. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they're charging them with illegal possession. | ||
| But why aren't they buying illegally? | ||
| Because you can't get a gun in Chicago, dude! | ||
| No, it does matter how you get it. | ||
| Same with money. | ||
| If you get money illegally, then you're not- I'm talking specifically about the charge for possession. | ||
| Not for purchase or anything else. | ||
| They should be defended in that regard. | ||
| I think you're right. | ||
| In Chicago- Yeah, everyone should carry, in my opinion, everybody. | ||
| Have you ever looked at the process? | ||
| Especially Asians. | ||
| Hashtag StopAsianHating. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| If I have to get on my roof to defend myself, I'll do it. | ||
| Have you seen how hard it is to get a gun in states like New York or in these cities? | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| And what they do is they say- What about the gun show loophole, Tim? | ||
| They're just handing out guns to everybody! | ||
| The gun show loophole is a trick. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It's bullshit. | ||
| I know that. | ||
| There's no loophole. | ||
| I'm being sarcastic. | ||
| There's no loophole. | ||
| I know that. | ||
| They're basically saying that in rural states, individuals can privately transfer so long as they know for a fact the person is not barred from- Within a reasonable- yeah, right, right. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| They're trying to make universal background checks so that Joe Bob Jr., who lives in the mountains of West Virginia, has to drive three hours to a gun shop in order to give his neighbor John Smith a weapon to protect his property from wildfires. | ||
| If only criminals would just follow the law. | ||
| So you think these dudes with guns should have their felonies dropped and just have state charges? | ||
| No, I think he's saying that even if they have a felony that they should be able to carry. | ||
| I'm saying right now, listen, that there are mass shootings all the time in Chicago that the left ignores because it doesn't scare the delicate sensibilities of white suburban progressives because they don't care about the black community. | ||
| Well, they're not mass. | ||
| They're not mass. | ||
| They're two at a time. | ||
| There was 15 people shot. | ||
| Not by the same guy? | ||
| What? | ||
| Not by the same guy? | ||
| Last weekend? | ||
| In Chicago? | ||
| Yeah, it was one guy who went to a party and he shot 15 people. | ||
| Oh, okay, you're talking about something specific. | ||
| Okay, okay. | ||
| Yeah, it happens all the time. | ||
| And they go in, and I covered mass shootings over and over again in Chicago. | ||
| They don't care about this. | ||
| And you know what the gun rights advocacy groups, and I don't hear from conservatives? | ||
| Because it's in the hood. | ||
| I don't care where it is. | ||
| The Constitution doesn't say except in the hood. | ||
| So if we're going to be constitutionalists, then I want to see gun rights groups go to the core and find people with standing. | ||
| Young men, guys in their twenties, who have a gun, I don't care how they got it, if they're being charged with possession of that weapon, they're allowed to keep and bear arms. | ||
| What do you think the NRA does with their money? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| There was a big scandal when they were buying cars and stuff. | ||
| Commercials? | ||
| I'm not an NRA guy, I'll tell you that for a fact. | ||
| I think they serve as a whipping boy for anti-gun people. | ||
| I don't think they do a lot of good. | ||
| I don't see them doing any advocacy. | ||
| There's a lot of complicated nuance involved in what goes on in Chicago. | ||
| The point I'm bringing up is when I saw what happened to Philando Castile, I think it's the right name, legal gun owner, black man, was shot and killed by a cop who panicked Even though the guy did everything right, and the NRA hesitated, I got mad. | ||
| And I say, yo, and I saw all these Trump supporters getting mad too, and I was like, right on. | ||
| They were like, defend the guy, he's a gun owner, it's legally, you know? | ||
| Then I'm thinking to myself, how is it that we can complain that the media ignores the mass shootings in Chicago, and then talks about these ones that they use to try and ban guns, but then where are the gun rights groups finding all of the people in Chicago who have legal standing to sue on the grounds that their right to keep and bear arms is being infringed? | ||
| But Tim, why do you think that media ignores what happens in Chicago? | ||
| Because it's all about political agendas. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| When you talk about what happens in Chicago, you do not scare suburban progressives who will then go and vote for Democrats. | ||
| You don't change votes. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So I wonder why gun rights advocacy groups aren't going into Chicago. | ||
| I feel bad. | ||
| I feel bad. | ||
| I know this is probably an old statistic-slash-anecdote, and it's probably still true, but there's a time where living in Chicago is more dangerous than living in Baghdad. | ||
| That's true, though. | ||
| There's more gun deaths there. | ||
| Like, there's a region in Iraq. | ||
| Yeah, as I say, everyone in Wisconsin calls it Chiraq. | ||
| Milwaukee is not great either anymore. | ||
| We had Allen West on the show, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, with respect, and we disagreed. | ||
| I said, I think if you commit a felony, pay your debt to society, then you should be able to vote and buy guns. | ||
| I agree with that. | ||
| But he disagreed, because violent offenders could re-offend, and I said, What's the point of prison if you can never pay your dues? | ||
| Slave labor. | ||
| Either you pay your debt to society or you never can. | ||
| I agree with you 100%. | ||
| It's not even violent felons. | ||
| You could get arrested on a possession charge and now you can't have a gun anymore. | ||
| You're not a violent offender. | ||
| A violent offense? | ||
| I'm into like maybe looking but we need to reform prison. | ||
| I mean if we're gonna have prison should be there has to be a path you are restrained Listen prison should be you commit a violent crime, right? | ||
| We restrain you so you can't do it again We rehabilitate you give you access to the Internet. | ||
| We give you want to use it Oh And re-entry should be, we shouldn't put people in prison for, you know, 25 years. | ||
| It should be like 20 years and then five years of like serious probation. | ||
| Dude, I would love to see prisoners on video chat with like psychologists and therapists and watch, have prison guards watch so they don't just watch and communicate. | ||
| Prison doesn't reform anybody. | ||
| No, it's just lock them up to this current one. | ||
| It's only a deterrent. | ||
| It's a deterrent and it turns mid-grade criminals into masterminds and it turns petty criminals into mid-grade criminals. | ||
| The prison system doesn't work. | ||
| But I will say that if you do your time, then I 100% support you coming out and being able to be a regular citizen. | ||
| Let's read some more of these. | ||
| Ham Sarabi says, Tim, you keep using terms like the cathedral, but I don't think you know their origin or their full context. | ||
| Invite Curtis Yarvin onto the show. | ||
| Michael Malice can probably get you in touch with him. | ||
| You won't regret it. | ||
| Sounds good to me. | ||
| Ben Walker says, Tim is 100% right about getting the incentives right for alternative platforms. | ||
| AWS, Facebook, Twitter have their competitive advantage from economy of scale. | ||
| Alternative platforms need to get the incentives right in order to scale, then they can compete. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Gamification. | ||
| Sonny James says, off topic, but is Rapture Watcher channels unique only to America? | ||
| I got to say, I've never seen such a group of calm people debating how God's going to destroy America. | ||
| It's like he's sitting there thinking race war, invasion, robots, or good old fire. | ||

I don't know. | |
| But the revelation stuff is really interesting, because people are pointing out stuff in the Bible that they're seeing happen now. | ||

| That's a human's natural tendency. | ||

| Eric Allen says, literally so happy to see Jeremy on Timcast today. | ||
| I've been watching both of you for years, and when Jeremy said he would be coming on, I moved my schedule to see it live. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Love you guys. | ||
| What's up Lydia and Ian? | ||
| Shout out to Lydia for picking me up at the airport. | ||
| Heck yeah. | ||
| Shout out to Lydia picking me up from my hotel and giving me... Going to the beer store. | ||
| Going to McDonald's. | ||
| Took me to the liquor store. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And shout out to Tim for bringing me out. | ||
| Shout out to Jeremy for coming on the show. | ||
| And we're going to have you on tomorrow as well. | ||
| It's going to be fun. | ||
| We're hanging out. | ||
| Everyone took B, didn't they? | ||
| says both the US women's and men's teams were given two choices option a you get | ||
| paid per game depending if you were on the team sheet without benefits option | ||
| B everyone gets paid regardless of if they're on the sheet but they get | ||
| benefits I remember that I covered that they chose their contract ever to | ||
| complain today they all took B didn't they I don't remember which one they | ||
| took but like they complained Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Jason Dunn says the women's team chose option B and ended up making less money because the base pay was lower since everyone got paid. | ||
| The men's team made more since you only got paid if you were on the team sheet. | ||
| The women saw this and they said, we want what they have. | ||
| Well, they didn't take the risk. | ||
| It was exactly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Contract negotiations. | ||
| Brandon Gardner says, Big fan, Jeremy. | ||
| Love crossovers of my favorite content creators. | ||
| Keep up the good work, guys. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Big shout out, Ian, too. | ||
| Oh, what up, Holler? | ||
| Quacking Golem says, The women's soccer team was offered the same deal as the men. | ||
| They turned it down and got mad when they realized they would have made more if they accepted the same deal as the men. | ||
| The women win World Cups. | ||
| The men barely make the tourney. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true. | |
| That's a good point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
| They didn't take the risk. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They played it safe because they didn't think they were going to make it. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| We'll do a couple more. | ||
| We'll do a couple more because we got a bunch of superchats. | ||
| Sonny James says, I'm skeptical about crypto. | ||
| To me, it might be a gigantic psy-op marketed as breaking up centralized banks. | ||
| Bill Gates in the Navy investing heavily in XRP and Ripple. | ||
| I've heard that will depend on your behavior via social credit score. | ||
| Full black mirror. | ||
| I don't really know too much. | ||
| People were skeptical about the automobile, so. | ||
| BlackRockBeacon says, Go Tim! | ||
| There is no such thing as an illegally owned gun according to the Constitution. | ||
| Money is not protected by the Constitution. | ||
| Ian, let's do this. | ||
| Use your fabled non-profit skills. | ||
| You got the money. | ||
| I'll go help cover it. | ||
| I would absolutely love to start a non-profit. | ||
| That helps young men who have been arrested on gun charges in Chicago get their records expunged, file these lawsuits, defend their rights to keep and bear arms. | ||
| I interviewed a woman, she was an activist in Chicago, and she said, we believe in guns, we believe we have a right to own guns, and we want to make sure everyone's doing it correctly and legally. | ||
| That was what she was advocating for, and she thought that would help stop the gun violence. | ||
| I also think there's a bunch of young men who don't know what they're doing, don't know if they're buying, or just don't care, and they buy a gun from somebody, and then they get told, you're going to prison for it. | ||
| This is destroying- look, the equity people should absolutely be on board with this. | ||
| Because you're creating young- you're creating- you're making these young men felons. | ||
| Now they can't vote, now they have a harder time getting jobs, it creates a cycle of poverty. | ||
| I'm not about that. | ||
| I think that's wrong. | ||
| I think they have a right to keep and bear arms. | ||
| And I think there should be lawsuits to define exactly what they're doing wrong and what they can do in Illinois. | ||
| And I think Illinois is overbearing, draconian laws. | ||
| And I think Illinois absolutely has a bunch of racist politicians. | ||
| Well, and it should be pointed out, and I'm gonna let you go through them, but Chicago has maybe the strictest gun laws in the state and the worst murder rates. | ||
| Yeah, they have some of the strictest gun laws in the country. | ||
| If only criminals would follow the law. | ||
| But there are a lot of issues with gun violence that aren't being addressed by anything they're doing. | ||
| And so all I can really say is defend the rights of these people. | ||
| Legal gun owners aren't going down to the hood and firing bullets into people's houses. | ||
| No, no, here's the issue. | ||
| Some illegal gun owners aren't doing that either there are people so like this right, but it's like the case it no no | ||
| No, we don't we don't have the exact numbers But this dude in Hawaii is filing a suit because they said | ||
| he was not legally allowed to possess his gun was he not? | ||
| I don't know exactly what happened in a circumstance, but I tell you this | ||
| There are a lot of people, there was one story I read, I think this might be it, I'm not sure, where a guy illegally bought a gun and he said, it's my right to keep and bear arms to protect my family and it's none of the government's business how I got it or why I'm not committing any crimes. | ||
| I support that. | ||
| You can't just say because I have the gun I committed a crime. | ||
| He didn't. | ||
| So I know this for a fact in Chicago. | ||
| There are a lot of people who illegally have guns. | ||
| I know many people in Chicago throughout my life who never committed a crime and illegally had guns. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| White people, black people, Latino people. | ||
| Because it's just impossible to go through the motions. | ||
| Now there was a big court case where Illinois was forced to allow people to actually get guns, but they do this BS thing where it's called like a May issue state where they're like, you need a legitimate reason to own a gun. | ||
| Constitution doesn't say that, okay? | ||
| The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. | ||
| So I think you need to find people who have standing. | ||
| The problem is I think the NRA is not interested in actually helping gun rights. | ||
| I don't think they care. | ||
| I think they play politics for money. | ||
| I want to see a gun rights advocacy group go there and find some dude. | ||
| He's got a wife and he's got kids. | ||
| And you'll hear these stories because I've heard them before and he says, listen man, gun violence in Chicago is really bad. | ||
| I gotta protect my family. | ||
| I don't want to hurt anybody. | ||
| I don't want to commit any crimes. | ||
| What do I do when one of these other criminals with an illegal gun comes into my home? | ||
| I'm not allowed to protect myself? | ||
| That sounds like a good family man to me. | ||
| And it sounds like they're oppressing him with BS racist gun control laws. | ||
| It's not racist. | ||
| No, it isn't. | ||
| Gun control was started because they were mad the Black Panthers had guns. | ||
| Yeah, but what you're talking about is somebody that did a straw purchase, potentially, or obtained a gun illegally, and neither of those examples have anything to do with their skin color. | ||
| What I'm saying is, I agree. | ||
| There should be a gun with every 12-pack of beer sold. | ||
| If everyone in that gas in that grocery store in Boulder heaven forbid like I don't this is kind of a shitty thing to say but like if everyone was strapped with a guy I walked in there. | ||
| I don't know but he probably doesn't take 10 people with him. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| No we saw a big push against for gun control in California by Reagan because the Black Panthers were armed and they were marching around. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it was cheered for by... They didn't like it. | ||
| They marched on the Capitol. | ||
| And that's wrong. | ||
| And the Black Panthers have a right to keep and bear arms. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| That means they can walk around openly with them. | ||
| If you got a problem with that, and I do think there's reasonable gun control, I do think there's real arguments around this, then we need to amend the Constitution. | ||
| And if you can't do that, you have no right to impose your will on other people. | ||
| If we got problems in this country, they are dealt with by a convention of states to amend the Constitution, not by you just saying, we got 50 votes and a tiebreaker, we're gonna ram it all through. | ||
| What do you think about these people that go to, like, Chick-fil-A with their AKs and their ARs? | ||
| Open carry. | ||
| Don't care. | ||
| In, like, a suburb. | ||
| Not worried about it. | ||
| But what do you think that they're... What do you think they're up to? | ||
| Making a point. | ||
| What is the point? | ||
| That I'm allowed to do this. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| So that's the same point the Black Panthers were making, right? | ||
| I mean, I think the point the Black Panthers were making was that if you oppress us, we can defend ourselves from tyrannical government. | ||
| And I think every single conservative should be cheering for that, because I hear too much that people say the Second Amendment is about defending us from tyrannical government. | ||
| And they were also saying, yes, if you oppress us, we will defend ourselves and you are oppressing us. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That was basically their statement. | ||
| So the issue is not that I don't expect any group of Americans to form militias and then go stage occupations of cities and go to war with the country. | ||
| The issue is in countries where people don't have guns, governments have no problem with violating the rights of individuals. | ||
| Basic. | ||
| They do it here though, too. | ||
| We do have guns. | ||
| Not in certain places they don't. | ||
| Look at what happened with Breonna Taylor. | ||
| The cops were trying to serve a warrant and when they busted the door in, Breonna Taylor's boyfriend shot a cop in the leg. | ||
| Those charges were dropped. | ||
| These cops understand there is a risk to breaking into the home of somebody because they may be armed. | ||
| Now here's the point. | ||
| Do we want a society where cops know they can kick your door in for any reason at any point and there's nothing you can do to stop them? | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| Or do we want them to have a reasonable concern about violating the Fourth Amendment rights of an individual because the Second Amendment exists? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| I don't want anyone getting shot. | ||
| I don't want anyone getting hurt. | ||
| But a society where the government recognizes you go into the wrong house illegally, bad things could happen, means they're more likely to get the proper search warrants and serve it properly. | ||
| Are you implying that Breonna Taylor was not a lawful entry though? | ||
| So, the cops are arguing they gave a warning and they busted the door in. | ||
| There are witnesses that corroborate that, too. | ||
| That they gave a warning. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then, regardless... Now, I'm saying witnesses could be whatever. | ||
| But, I mean, there are people that corroborate that. | ||
| The nuances of the Brenna Taylor case is not my... Yeah, let's not go down that road. | ||
| We're on Super Chats. | ||
| My point is that even though Brenna Taylor's boyfriend shot a cop, the charges were dropped because people have a Second Amendment right to bear arms and defend themselves when someone kicks the door in and just enters their home. | ||
| Yeah, and in other countries, he'd probably be executed. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| In other countries, there's no fear from the government at all in any capacity. | ||
| So cops will break into someone's house and just abuse people because they have nothing to worry about. | ||
| Why don't we talk about that? | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Why don't we talk about the Biden headline where Biden was pushing? | ||
| Was I in the little boy's room? | ||
| Well, let's do this. | ||
| Let's do a couple more Super Chats and then we'll get really heavy on this stuff in the extended members only segment. | ||
| Deepness. | ||
| Adrian Sutton says, Jesus Christ, no. | ||
| Sweet Tim, gun control started after Civil War because the Klan did not want black Americans armed. | ||
| NRA caved on their virtues after the Black Panther Party stormed the Capitol armed. | ||
| Absolutely, to clarify. | ||
| What I meant to say is that a big portion of gun control started with California and the Black Panthers, but you're right. | ||
| It absolutely goes way, way, way far back. | ||
| I'm not a fan of people violating the Constitution. | ||
| You want to change it? | ||
| I'm all for it. | ||
| It can be amended. | ||
| But right now, the problem we have is hyperpolarization and one party thinking that they can upend the Constitution without consequence. | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| There are many things you and I might disagree on or be mad about. | ||
| I don't like the idea of people walking around, driving around in cars with 50 BMG full-auto, you know, cruiser, belt-fed, whatever. | ||
| I'm like, that's kind of crazy. | ||
| However, so long as the Constitution exists, I'm tired of hearing this BS. | ||
| If you want to own a belt-fed 50 BMG, whatever, I have no problem with it. | ||
| But I think cities will face problems if everyone's walking around with, you know, 556 ARs or whatever, because people act a fool. | ||
| Especially drunk people. | ||
| That's exactly what I was going to say. | ||
| When alcohol gets involved, it's like you go to the Western Times, right? | ||
| You go to the bar, you know what you do? | ||
| I kicked something down. | ||
| You hand your pistols to the bartender, you know, like when you get drunk. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| We'll read one more. | ||
