you you | |
| you Ladies and gentlemen, today is April 5th, 2021, also known | ||

| honor of the 45th president. | ||
|

|
Fantastic. | |
| Good. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| I deserve my own day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we're going to have to make 4-7 about me as well, because I am running in 2024. | |
| I'll have two holidays. | ||
| That de facto means... | ||
| April 6th will be Biden Day. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's going to be the best day of the year. | ||
| Someone tweeted at me, they were like, in order for it to be fair, then tomorrow has to be Biden Day. | ||
| And I'm like, okay. | ||
| I'll celebrate Biden Day, dude. | ||
| Just speak in gibberish. | ||
| Say sentences that don't mean anything. | ||
| Yeah, fall down the stairs and struggle to speak. | ||
|

|
It'll be like a thing. | |
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| Someone's sad at this point. | ||
| I kind of feel bad making fun of them. | ||
| In like a thousand years, people will put on goofy hats and then jump down the stairs while making strange noises and not understand the tradition. | ||
| The tradition of Biden Day. | ||
| Biden Day. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen! | ||
| We had news, and then we started making jokes, and then we all forgot what was going on. | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| No, we have some interesting news. | ||
| I've been watching the Chauvin trial, and there's something interesting that I've noticed, because I'm watching this trial, and it's definitely that there's one livestream playing, but two different versions of reality. | ||
| I guess depending on your bias. | ||
| And when I'm watching this trial, I'm very interested in the defense and the prosecution. | ||
| I gotta say, the prosecution got a bunch of very excellent points across today about Chauvin. | ||
| Apparently, he never received training, where we've seen this photo of the guy with the knee on his neck. | ||
| Oh, he wasn't trained in that. | ||
| So they made some interesting points, but there's always a counter. | ||
| Now, where it gets really interesting is how the media incessantly just chooses to frame it as though Derek Chauvin is losing, and I don't believe that's the case. | ||
| I think, based on what we've seen so far, acquittal is likely. | ||
| But that's just my opinion, and I could be wrong. | ||
| I don't know what the jury is thinking. | ||
| And I'm seeing a lot of the same stuff the jury is, as many of you are. | ||
| I could be entirely wrong, and I think it's very, very middle of the road. | ||
| It's 50-50. | ||
| It could go either way. | ||
| I'm kind of leaning towards acquittal because a lot of stuff that's come out. | ||
| For instance, the doctor today who testified said that George Floyd died of hypoxia. | ||
| And then even said, when asked, that fentanyl, the main reason it's dangerous is because it depresses your respiratory system, which causes hypoxia. | ||
| I thought that was a very excellent point by the defense. | ||
| And then the counter, I guess, is just, well, it could have been choking, I suppose. | ||
| But it doesn't seem like the physical evidence to Floyd's body backs that up. | ||
| We'll get into all this stuff. | ||
| What's fascinating is how the media changes the headlines of their stories to reflect an anti-Chauvin narrative, setting it up that he's going to lose and will be convicted. | ||
| And then when people keep seeing the news saying like, oh, defense says this, and they testify this, and you keep hearing how awful it is, and you keep hearing how it should be Chauvin going to jail, and they omit the key evidence that defends him, Well then, what do you think people are gonna do when he gets acquitted? | ||
| If he does, their expectations will be set very high. | ||
| They'll say something like, I don't understand. | ||
| I read all the news. | ||
| He should have been convicted based on the headlines I saw. | ||
| And then riots will happen. | ||
| So we're gonna talk about that. | ||
| We got a couple other stories too. | ||
| Clarence Thomas issues this massive opinion, opening the door to potentially sue or regulate Big Tech and Section 230. | ||
| So we're gonna get into this. | ||
| And as most of you probably realized already, because for a moment someone was speaking like Trump, Seamus from Freedom Tunes is here. | ||
| I'm back. | ||
| It is fantastic to be back here. | ||
| Thank you for having me on, Tim. | ||
| I'm glad you're here, Seamus. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| Oh, yeah, that's a good question. | ||
| So my name's Seamus Goglin. | ||
| I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes. | ||
| I make educational cartoons and political satire, mostly political satire, on the Freedom Tunes channel these days. | ||
| So go check that out if you'd like. | ||
| We just released a pretty funny video about Joe Biden. | ||
| We're going to be releasing another cartoon Thursday. | ||
| We release a video once a week. | ||
| So go over there and enjoy him. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You're also very learned in history, which is always refreshing to have you on. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| Chat about the past. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| Are you making fun of the way Midwesterners sound? | ||
| No, no, I'm Midwesterner too. | ||
| Is this from the past? | ||
| You should take offense to us as well because we're from the same... Chicago. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| From the past over there. | ||
| Nobody says Chicago. | ||
| It's like a weird stereotype for people who don't live there. | ||
| It's like Chicago. | ||
| No, that's the weird thing too. | ||
| Yeah, my dad's born and raised on the South Side, and he, like, pronounces the A less than I do when he says Chicago. | ||
| He says, like, Chicago, which is not exactly like that. | ||
| Like, I can't even do it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The A, it's just an offensive stereotype, and that's not actually how people from the Chicago area sound. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's extremely offensive. | ||
| Hey, everyone. | ||
| I am Ian Crossland. | ||
| It is true. | ||
| And you can always follow me at iancrossland.net, where I do, well, I don't know. | ||
| I just do weird stuff. | ||
| No, he does! | ||
| I try and unify the planet. | ||
| Ian, yeah, when Tim asked who Ian was, he's like, wait a minute. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I have a broad scheme. | ||
| Ian's not actually here. | ||
| He's an astral projection. | ||
| We had a dude who just joined the team, and he came here several times, but Ian was never around. | ||
| He was like, I'm convinced that Ian's not real. | ||
| I was like, well, that's the truth. | ||
| Ian's an astral projection. | ||
| He's a hologram. | ||
| He's not really He's on the show. | ||
| He's not a real person. | ||
| It's a vibrating multitude of spheres. | ||
| That's about all I can say. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Great intro. | ||
| Lydia's also here. | ||
| What about Lydia? | ||
| I do eventually get to myself once you guys are finished. | ||
| I was going to say that our new employee has been having a lot of fun saying that we are all just figments of Ian's imagination. | ||
| I like this guy. | ||
| There's no studio, it's just like a shack in the woods with Ian in it. | ||
| And he imagines the studio and it just forms around him. | ||
| That would be an interesting movie, actually. | ||
| Anyway, my friends, we're supposed to be serious, but it's just so hard these days. | ||
| It's probably good that we're joking around a bit because we're going to get real serious with this upcoming news and the consequences for it. | ||

| Yeah, she's awesome. | ||
| Yeah, she's great. | ||
| It was a really good show. | ||
| We did this bonus segment with Michael Malice. | ||
| It became a full episode where we talked about secrets to success and advice we had for people. | ||

| You're getting kind of greedy, man. | ||
| I have three already. | ||
| We need four. | ||
| I need one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Give me that gold! | |
| Are you gonna just split it among everyone here? | ||
| They'll issue one for everybody on the show. | ||
| Really? | ||
| No joke. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| So just like make me a host right before they send it. | ||
| You should make a bunch of people official hosts. | ||
| I mean I just tell them like here are the people and it costs money. | ||
| There's like 12 hosts and that they cost them even making so much money for their platform, Tim, even when they demonetize you. | ||
| You get one golden plaque for free and they have to pay for the rest but they'll issue one for team members. | ||
| And it is real gold, right? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| It's so heavy. | ||
| Solid gold, you know. | ||
| The shipping cost is where they get you, really. | ||
| You might be if you look on IMDB. | ||
| You're probably listed as a producer or something. | ||
| This show's on IMDB. | ||
| I think everyone goes on, all the guests and everything. | ||
| Beautiful. | ||
| I don't know who manages that stuff. | ||
| Me neither. | ||
| How about we talk about the news, my friends? | ||
| sure i mean if you want if that's what you want to do i thought we could talk about our days but i was traveling most of the day i'm a little tired but no that's my feelings don't matter let's talk about they don't you know it matters facts earlier media earlier today hey earlier today my friends So I was listening to the trial live, and there was this really powerful point between the defense and the ER doctor who was treating George Floyd, trying to save his life. | ||
| The defense said, you know, long story short, like, what happened? | ||
| And they're giving really in-depth detail. | ||
| Essentially, the ER doctor says that George Floyd died due to hypoxia, which is, can you give us the medical breakdown of what that means? | ||
| Pretty straightforward. | ||
| Hypoxia is just low oxygen. | ||
| Hypo is low and oxy is an oxygen. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| And he went on to say that there was a high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood. | ||
| Now, I think on the surface, the average person hears, well, he was suffocated, right? | ||
| The knee was on his neck. | ||
| Well, what the defense basically said was, can fentanyl cause hypoxia or a high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood? | ||
| And the doctor said, yes. | ||
| Can methamphetamine? | ||
| The doctor said, yes. | ||
| And the defense then said, Is one of the reasons that there is such a warning about fentanyl is that it depresses the respiratory system. | ||
| And this is what shocked me. | ||
| The doctor goes, it's the reason. | ||
| And I went, whoa, from the doctor. | ||
| He didn't just volunteer up. | ||
| He didn't just say yes or no. | ||
| He volunteered up like, no, that's legit. | ||
| Exactly why fentanyl is bad. | ||
| It causes hypoxia. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Now, it seems like the doctor still went on to say he thinks that it was, you know, he had no reason to believe it was a drug overdose. | ||
| In which case, the doctor still, you know, there's a cross-examination. | ||
| The prosecution comes in and says, but isn't it possible that having your knee on someone's neck could result in hypoxia, which causes the heart to stop? | ||
| And the doctor said yes. | ||
| I still think it's very, very fascinating. | ||
| The doctor said it's the reason fentanyl is so dangerous. | ||
| And so I went, whoa! | ||
| I was like, we should definitely talk about this. | ||
| So I Google-searched it, right? | ||
| I Google-searched, you know, defense Chauvin hypoxia, and I see this. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| Look at this Google search. | ||
| You can see I searched for Dr. Chauvin hypoxia. | ||
| Five hours ago, ABC News ER doc theorizes lack of oxygen stopped Floyd's heart. | ||
| You can see in these, you know, the text here that, you know, the questions whether or not some drugs can cause hypoxia. | ||
| You can see right here as well. | ||
| Baltimore Sun, Derek Chauvin trial, ER doctor testifies. | ||
| You scroll down. | ||
| There's even more. | ||
| George Floyd's heart likely stopped hypoxia. | ||
| What do you think happens if I click this story? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, let's open up ABC. | |
| Police. | ||
| Let me turn this off. | ||
| The headline's different. | ||
| Kneeling on Floyd's neck violated policy. | ||
| Well, that's not what I Google searched. | ||
| I didn't search for that headline. | ||
| I wanted to know about the hypoxia. | ||
| This is why you use DuckDuckGo. | ||
| Well, hold on. | ||
| Let's go to the Baltimore Sun. | ||
| Derek Chauvin trial. | ||
| ER doctor testifies. | ||
| All right, well, let's learn about the ER doctor so I can pull up the source and show everybody. | ||
| Derek Chauvin trial. | ||
| Kneeling on George Floyd's neck violated our policy. | ||
| Well, that's not what I Google-searched. | ||
| So what's happening is that the Associated Press changed the headline in all their articles after they were already published. | ||
| So for me, who's trying to search for this to show everybody what's going on, we're getting a different story which changes the framing. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| If the doctor said hypoxia caused this and fentanyl, it's like the main reason fentanyl is dangerous is that it can lead to hypoxia. | ||
| And then I'm like, I want to show that to people because it's a very important point for the defense. | ||
| And then all of the headlines change to say, kneeling on the neck violated policy. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Well, all of a sudden now, the articles that I'm pulling up and would likely show someone, imagine this. | ||
| Imagine I had that story. | ||
| Right when I saw the doctor say this, I went, whoa! | ||
| And I shared that story on Facebook or Twitter. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Then, along comes, you know, my mom or my dad or my brother, and they're like, what's this that Tim shared? | ||
| And they click it, and instead of getting the story where I'm like, this is important, they get a different story. | ||
| Joven Violent Policy. | ||
| I did not share that story. | ||
| So here I am. | ||
| We're trying to do this show. | ||
| And I was like, we definitely got to talk about that. | ||
| That's a very interesting point. | ||
| It's not a guarantee that he's, you know, Chauvin will be acquitted because of this. | ||
| I just thought it was interesting to bring up and to also bring up that very well, like putting a knee on someone's neck could result in hypoxia. | ||
| The reason why I think this is important though, is it offers a counterpoint to the narrative we've all already heard. | ||
| When I try to pull up the articles, we get something entirely different. | ||
| That's creepy manipulation, stealth editing that shapes the narrative. | ||
| And here's my fear. | ||
| When I'm reading all this news, I see a lot of really, really important points in the defense. | ||
| Notably that there's training materials they've highlighted, a PowerPoint showing a cop kneeling on someone's neck. | ||
| This stuff many people have seen. | ||
| In the trial, there was an argument between the defense and the judge as to whether or not this actually mattered because Chauvin did not undergo that specific training. | ||
| The argument from the defense was, if the cops are all, you know, doing this and saying this is an updated policy, then it makes sense that this might, you know, exist. | ||
| These things don't appear. | ||
| Like, the points from the defense about hypoxia, about drug use, about, you know, what we talked about the other day, what was it? | ||
| I can't remember all the details. | ||
| The media always headlines with, Chauvin guilty, right? | ||
| So now we have this. | ||
| We have the police chief testified that Chauvin violated policy. | ||
| But there's another really crazy story, and the media frames it. | ||
| Check this out, from Forbes. | ||
| Derek Chauvin defense shows video clip to suggest knelt on George Floyd's shoulder. | ||
| Not his neck. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And when the police chief was shown the video, get this, the police chief was shown the video, and the defense said, based on this alternate camera angle from a body camera, would you say that Chauvin, it appeared he was kneeling on Floyd's shoulder? | ||
| The police chief said, yes. | ||
| Okay. Shouldn't these things be like, look, we all know that the narrative has been Chauvin | ||
| kneeled on Floyd's neck. It's it's you know, it's bad and he's a bad cop. He was fired for it. | ||
| When evidence comes out that suggests the official narrative may be wrong. | ||
| Shouldn't that be the highlight for a lot of reasons? | ||
| Yeah. Can humans overcome cognitive dissonance is a big question. | ||
| And that's, I think, really, it's our duty to do that. | ||
| When we're presented with information that violates what we thought was real, we really have to let go of what we used to think was real and look at the new information. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, regardless of how you feel about this case, I haven't looked into it very deeply. | ||
| I haven't done much research on it, so I can't comment one way or the other. | ||
| But regardless, it's very frightening, though unsurprising, that big tech and these media companies would go through and try to suppress information that promotes a narrative that they're not comfortable with. | ||
| Well, here's the creepy thing. | ||
| I look at the AP. | ||
| So all these headlines from all these outlets, it's the same article. | ||
| It's the Associated Press, and they're just republishing the AP. | ||
| I don't think there's anything nefarious, necessarily. | ||
| I think there's an inherent bias with a lot of these companies. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Okay, fair enough. | ||
| okay more information has come out let's change the headline interesting they | ||
| initially did run the headline ER doctor suggests hypoxia fentanyl can cause this | ||
| but then they changed the headline okay which fundamentally changes the framing | ||
| of the story when people are sharing it right so here's what's crazy though | ||
| Forbes I find it particularly interesting they say suggests the | ||
| officer nothing a shoulder What's funny about suggest is they straight up said he did. | ||
| And the police chief said yes. | ||
| Look what they say, top line. | ||
| With limited evidence put forward so far to bolster his case, that's an insane thing to write. | ||
| Derek Chauvin's lead defense attorney, Eric Nelson, on Monday sought to cast doubt for jurors over one of the most prominent details of George Floyd's death, the length of time the officer had his knee on the 46-year-old black man's neck. | ||
| Interestingly, let me go down. | ||
| Nelson highlighted that while it appeared Chauvin had his knee on Floyd's neck in the video recorded by Fraser, the knee appeared to be on Floyd's shoulder blade during the same period in the body camera footage. | ||
| Asking Arradondo, would you agree that from the perspective of Officer Kong's body camera, it appeared Officer Chauvin's knee was more on Mr. Floyd's shoulder blade? | ||
| Yes, Arradondo responded. | ||
| Though the prosecution, which took the sand immediately after, was quick to highlight that this was one specific moment at a time when the ambulance had already arrived, and very shortly before they loaded Mr. Floyd onto the gurney. | ||
| We are not looking for definitive proof of innocence. | ||
| We are looking for reasonable doubt. | ||
| The burden is on the state. | ||
| They need to prove he did it, he had the intent. | ||
| If there is video footage that suggests we may be looking at the perspective wrong, and people may have incorrectly assumed that he was on the neck, that's very important. | ||
| And the police chief said yes upon looking at the body camera footage. | ||
| This is the police chief that fired these cops. | ||
| Now, what's fascinating is Forbes framing, once again, is already anti-Chauvin. | ||
| They've already made up their mind. | ||
| He's guilty, and this is just a distraction to suggest otherwise. | ||
| We all saw it. | ||
| We already saw The Nation, and who was it? | ||
| Chelsea Handler? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They were like, we shouldn't even have a trial. | ||
| Oh, we can have trials. | ||
| You see that? | ||
| Yeah, because the media told us what happened, so why would we need to look into it any further than that? | ||
| The argument is that, well, there's video. | ||
| We saw it happen. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, and that's fair, but that doesn't mean you don't need a trial. | ||
| Like, what happens if there's no trial? | ||
| How is the person punished? | ||
| Is it not by the justice system? | ||
| I mean, they're saying no trial exactly why. | ||
| It highlights the exact reason why we have trials. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| If video comes out that's shaky and it's someone yelling and you see a guy with a knee on a neck, there's so much we need to know to prove or convict someone of murder. | ||
| Murder, too, requires intent. | ||
| Murder 2 and 3 require intent. | ||
| It's manslaughter that doesn't. | ||
| It's just negligence. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, he has his knee on his neck? | ||
| Okay, well now there's even doubt as to whether he really had his knee on his neck. | ||
| Because alternate body camera footage that we didn't see before shows, according to the police chief, Yeah, I have no idea about any of that. | ||
| It's been so long. | ||
| I remember seeing the video. | ||
| It looked very much like he was on his neck, but also that I saw this months ago, and I can't recall all of it. | ||
| And it's possible he had it on his neck, and then he took it off his neck and put it on his shoulder. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| But that changes the whole narrative then. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Changes the whole narrative. | ||
| It could still be manslaughter though, I think is his point. | ||
| I'm not even convinced it's gonna be manslaughter. | ||
| I mean, it very well could be. | ||
| There's definitely important points to bring up. | ||
| Like, they are saying that he violated policy. | ||
| That's true, okay? | ||
| Kneeling on the neck, violated policy, Minneapolis Police Chief testifies. | ||
| It's certainly not part of our ethics that he did get fired for it. | ||
| So, while the prosecution has the administration basically throwing Chauvin under the bus, like, dude did it, there's still good points from the defense. | ||
| And I gotta say, reasonable doubt. | ||
| We're not looking for 100% proof of innocence. | ||
| We're looking at maybe Floyd died from fentanyl. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No, that's true. | ||
| All they really need to do is establish a reasonable doubt and then he walks. | ||
| That's why I think he'll be acquitted. | ||
| Not that they've proven Floyd died of hypoxia. | ||
| But that the doctor literally said, that's the reason fentanyl is so dangerous. | ||
| Prince died from fentanyl overdose. | ||
| No physical trauma. | ||
| He just laid there and fell asleep and died. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So what happens with hypoxia is that your breathing slows so much. | ||
| I remember monitoring people who had been on drugs and their respirations would get down to like six a minute, which is insane. | ||
| You're supposed to be like 16 to 18 per minute. | ||
| Cause you're just like, you're basically comatose. | ||
| When you're on that much medicine, there's just, you're completely unaware of anything and you're not, your body's not even able to keep you. | ||
| I would say, I don't know the specifics about Prince, he might have been drunk too. | ||
| I mean, that, I'm sure that combo is a killer. | ||
| Well, I think, you know, I went over a lot of the evidence. | ||
| Like, it was, normally my main segment videos are like a half hour. | ||
| This one went 35 minutes. | ||
| 5 minutes longer than normal. | ||
| Because I went through the charges, second, third degree, and I don't know if you saw this, Seamus, that there was another guy in the vehicle with George Floyd. | ||
| This guy's name is Maurice Lester Hall. | ||
| Did you hear about this guy? | ||
| No. | ||
| Like I said, this is part of why I'm reluctant to comment. | ||
| I know nothing about this case. | ||
| Well, check this out. | ||
| Let me tell you, Seamus. | ||
| So this guy, according to George Floyd's girlfriend, was selling drugs to George Floyd and her. | ||
| He didn't really hang out with them all that often. | ||
| And there they were together in the vehicle. | ||
| From that, it kind of sounds like he's just their dealer. | ||
| This dude, Maurice Lester Hall, was supposed to testify for the state as one of their key witnesses. | ||
| And right before, a day before he files like an emergency motion, he's pleading the fifth and refusing to testify. | ||
| You know why I think that happened? | ||
| Why? | ||
| The judge put murder three back on the table. | ||
| Murder three in Minnesota states that if you sell someone a substance and they take it and die, you are guilty of murder. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So I'm wondering if that... Look, that alone... I don't know if the jury can take into account the fact that a dude bailed and pleaded the fifth. | ||
| I don't think it's fair to... You're not supposed to, right? | ||
| Well, I wouldn't. | ||
| I would be like, dude, plead to the fifth, I'm not going to make assumptions about it. | ||
| Now, externally, from a media standpoint, it certainly feels like the dude got implicated and then was like, yo, I'm out. | ||
| Reasonable doubt, man. | ||
| Floyd said he was hooping in the video, if you listen to it, which means that you, the slang term is that you... Basketball. | ||
| Yeah, you play basketball. | ||
| No, it means that you put drugs inside your rectum. | ||
| Your attempt to smuggle them. | ||
| Your mouth. | ||
| Yes, yes. | ||
| And so maybe he did that. | ||
| And that's why he overdosed. | ||
| Well, this is what's interesting. | ||
| It was one of the questions asked by the defense. | ||
| And that is kind of gross. | ||
| But the defense asked the doctor if he was familiar with people, | ||
| you know, who've been who've been in in that in that sense. | ||
| And I don't think that kind of questioning actually ended up going anywhere. | ||
| He like diverted off it right away. | ||
| But I have to say, the judge said this in September about Floyd | ||
| that it looked like he had something in his mouth. | ||
| There's video that shows it, and many people have speculated that he was in the middle of a drug deal. | ||
| The cops walked up, so he threw it in his mouth and swallowed it. | ||
| And then he said he was hooping. | ||
| And a lot of times when people will be hooping, they'll put it in a plastic baggie and then put it in their butt or something for, like, to transport it, you know. | ||
| But I think also you could just put it in your mouth and swallow it without a bag, and that's also considered hooping. | ||
| But then you're just taking the drug. | ||
| I know. | ||
| That's weird, yeah. | ||
| Reasonable doubt, man. | ||
| That's all it takes. | ||
| I don't know, I look at the media and I'm trying to better understand the story, but it's like every time I pull up a story, the headline is always, like, bad for Chauvin. | ||
| But there's certainly, like, it's almost like you'd imagine the defense was doing nothing. | ||
| Just literally sitting there getting yelled at the whole time. | ||
| Because the headlines are always anti-Chauvin. | ||
| This one, was it a Forbes article you were just reading? | ||
| Says he's a black man. | ||
| They're very specific, they want to make sure you know. | ||
| And also, I mean, the footage is really, really bad for Chauvin too. | ||
| Why? | ||
| With him kneeling on his neck, I mean, there's a reason the entire country was immediately against him. | ||
| They saw it, like, even conservative people were watching, they're like, alright, that's way too far. | ||
| But there's a PowerPoint presentation brought up by the defense showing the police were trained to do that. | ||
| And they called it the recovery position, and some have pointed out the reason why you move your foot off of their back is because if your weight is in their back, then their chest can't decompress and decompress. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So they'll asphyxiate. | ||
| So how is it that there's a PowerPoint presentation that says they're trained to, but then the other guy says he violated training? | ||
| So that was the interesting thing in the line of questioning, where the judge was basically like, I don't know exactly what the ruling was, but it was an argument over admissibility for the PowerPoint presentation, where he was like, Chauvin wasn't in the academy at the time this was being presented. | ||
| And the defense was like, if they update their training policies, it's reasonable to suggest that Chauvin had heard this, or was told this, or in some way, this is part of what the police do. | ||
| And it was because an officer said, no one is trained to do that, that never happens. | ||
| And this is really fascinating to me, that the judge wouldn't allow it, because, by all means, say, Chauvin was never trained this. | ||
| That's an important point, and it's good for the prosecution. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| If Chauvin was wrong, lock him up, throw away the key. | ||
| But if someone goes on the stand and says, this violated policy, and he wasn't supposed to do this. | ||
| That's what they say. | ||
| The headline says, Derek Chauvin violated policy by doing this. | ||
| Police Academy's got a photo of someone doing it! | ||
| So how is it they could show a cop doing exactly that and say it violates policy if they're showing it to people? | ||
| So were they showing this to people before or after Chauvin was trained? | ||
| Before. | ||
| So before. | ||
| So maybe it's something that the police force did away with by the time that Chauvin had done it. | ||
| It was a couple years before, and perhaps. | ||
| But interestingly, I think the argument was that the cop said, like, no one has ever been trained to do something to that effect. | ||
| Like, the defense isn't making things like, okay, I don't want to say that. | ||
| Everybody is giving their point of view because they're trying to win a case. | ||
| My issue is that when you watch this, if you're a reasonable person, you're like, I understand their point. | ||
| I certainly understand Chauvin may have violated policy enacted with neglect, which could be manslaughter, certainly not murder. | ||
| But the defense is giving a defense, and it's reasonable doubt. | ||
| Like, I'm sorry, man. | ||
| Manslaughter is probably, in my opinion, the only thing that could potentially get him on. | ||
| And I'm not even sure that's gonna happen. | ||
| Because that's negligence. | ||
| And if they convince the jury that nine minutes is excessive, eight minutes, forty-six seconds, then definitely. | ||
| And I think if he does get charged with manslaughter, a lot of people will be upset that he wasn't charged with more than that. | ||
| That's why I think the problem is if the media keeps taking the headlines where it's like, Chauvin violated policy, or Chauvin did this, Chauvin did that, defense says this, it's always framing it as though you expect him to lose. | ||
| That's very astute. | ||
| They're grooming people to freak if he gets let off. | ||
| I don't think it's intentional. | ||
| I think it's just that they think people are more likely to click on the story because the story is bad for Chauvin and people don't like the guy. | ||
| We all have our bias, because we all saw the video. | ||
| We all made our judgments. | ||
| Everybody, even conservatives, were mad. | ||
| So then the media's like, this is the headline that will get the most traffic. | ||
| All of these stories, that headline, they do talk about hypoxia, but not in the headline, which people will read and then walk away from. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| They wrote a headline, and then when you click it, it goes, and the headline's different? | ||
| Isn't that amazing? | ||
| How did they do that? | ||
| They originally got the headline from AP, and then the AP changed their headline, so all the other ones did too? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And the caching hasn't been updated. | ||
| And so Google has the old headline, and if you try and search for that story to share, you get a different story. | ||
| They should've just wrote a new story. | ||
| That's right, they should've. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And be like, this article no longer exists if you click on that. | ||
| So the important factor here is... | ||
| Someone could share the article where they're like, wow, I didn't realize this. | ||
| It perhaps could have been hypoxia caused by drugs. | ||
| What an interesting article. | ||
| And then every other person sees the headline, Derek Chauvin violated policy kneeling on the neck. | ||
| And they're like, what are you talking about? | ||
| So you guys remember like the, the golden blue dress or whatever, or like Manny and Laurel. | ||
| They're creating this because someone's going to have like a cash diversion on their, they're going to have a cash diversion from the article. | ||
| Oh wow. | ||
| It's a form of negligence, at least. | ||
| And they're going to be like, it literally says hypoxia potentially from drug use. | ||
| And the other person's like, are you nuts? | ||
| It says Chauvin, Neil Innocent can kill them. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| I'm looking at the article right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh. | |
| It's like they're intentionally making people insane. | ||
| I don't mean literally. | ||
| I'm just saying these articles and the way the system is designed, it's making | ||
| people hate each other and go nuts. | ||
| It's a form of negligence at least like journalistic negligence. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| So now my, I'm just saying, I think we're getting to the point where, you know, | ||
| we'll get close to the end of the trial. | ||
| And if people only hear these headlines about the bad things about Chauvin, only hearing from the prosecution, they're going to be like, this guy's going to prison. | ||
| And then they're going to say, acquitted on all charges. | ||
| And they go, how is that possible? | ||
| I was reading the news about the trial. | ||
| It was bad for him. | ||
| Oh, the system is corrupt. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| I mean, I think we can agree there that there will probably be riots. | ||
| I think at this point in the present epoch, you can just always assume that every major story is going to end with riots. | ||
| Doesn't matter. | ||
| That's my prediction for the future. | ||
| There will be riots. | ||
| I don't know what's happening, but the riots will occur as a result. | ||
| Chauvin acquitted? | ||
| Riots. | ||
| Convicted. | ||
| Riots. | ||
| Riots because it wasn't charged with first-degree murder or death penalty. | ||
| Chauvin gets... The space-time continuum rips asunder in the middle of the courtroom and Chauvin gets sucked into an altered reality and never to be seen again. | ||
| Riots. | ||
| Interdimensional riots. | ||
| So right now what's happening is like a bunch of Antifa are in a room and they're sitting there and the doors closed and there's like one Antifa and he's looking at his watch and he's got his hand up and then they're all like getting jitters like ready to start and then it's like okay the news came in and it's and they just burst the door right I felt like I was in DC last year, like November. | ||
| There was like a March or something I went to. | ||
| And at the end of the night, I was down there and you could see, I don't know if they were in Antifa or whatever, a bunch of people wearing all black, just like standing around. | ||
| We talked about that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Zombies before the night, before the blood moon. | |
| NPCs before the script activates and they storm in to like, you know, play the game or whatever. | ||
| You like clip through the wall and you see them all like just waiting, waiting. | ||
| It was so disturbing. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I'm sure most... Sitting on ledges and stuff. | ||
| We brought this up at the time, but I'm sure most people are familiar with video games. | ||
| So when there's a boss battle, and let's say the boss bursts through the door and he's like, ROAR! | ||
| Who has woken me? | ||
| What's actually happening outside of that room is the character is standing there, waiting for a script to activate to start the VO line and the graphics. | ||
| So they're just in a T-pose or whatever, just sitting there. | ||
| And if you can go outside the walls, you'll see all the NPCs just frozen or in a T-pose. | ||
| Well, it's frightening, because T-posing builds testosterone. | ||
| So if Antifa's T-pose That would be a hilarious skit. | ||
| We should do that. | ||
| We should hire a bunch of anti-vote people to stand in a T-pose outside of a protest. | ||
| Just not saying anything or moving. | ||
| They're gonna be stronger than ever before. | ||
| That would be a hilarious skit. | ||
| We should do that. | ||
| We should hire a bunch of anti-vote people to stand in a T-post outside of a protest. | ||
| Just not saying anything or moving. | ||
| Await orders. | ||
| No, just like, just not say anything. | ||
| And then finally, when something happens, they all start walking and they go, Oh, fascism. | ||
| Oh, it's so bad. | ||
| Oh, we hate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
| People will be like, what just happened? | ||
| And like, oh, the main character. | ||
| He entered. | ||
| He just spawned. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Everybody walks back to the same spot and then puts in the T-pose again. | ||
| Getting ready for the next riot. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| I hate to say it, but I hate to say that we're getting comfortable that there might be riots in the United States. | ||
| I'm not comfortable, but I'm accepting of it like there probably will be riots. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I've never in my past been like, well, if global riots break out, well, whatever. | ||
| It was always like, there shouldn't be riots. | ||
| Listen, listen, we're entering this political cycle where, like, we're gonna be old and have kids, and, you know, it's gonna be like, oh, it's 4 o'clock, kids, everybody come inside, the riots are coming, and the news is like, the riot will be arriving today at 4.10, a few minutes late, and they just, like, rampage through town. | ||
| It's like water. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, exactly, exactly. | |
| The riot mania, the meteorologists. | ||
| Yeah, it said well, it said how many horrible things we've just become jaded towards like first it happened with with public shootings and massacres and and now it's with Becoming the case with riots where we're just there was just you see this video Where the Antifa guy is trying to climb the Chase Bank. | ||
| Yeah what? | ||
| That was rough. | ||
| He hit the ground. | ||
| Can you play that? | ||
| Are you gonna play it? | ||
| I'll search for it. | ||
| He hit the ground and then all of a sudden he started to bleed. | ||
| I put in air quotes. | ||
| It's black paint, but it looks like blood oozing up from his body. | ||
| He was gonna vandalize this building with black paint and he fell and he landed on his hip and the paint starts dripping out. | ||
| I was like, oh, it looks like oil or something. | ||
| Like he's a robot at first. | ||
| Then this girl's like, he's like, this guy comes up and he's like, what happened? | ||
| Where did he fall from? | ||
| She was like, he landed on his hip. | ||
| He was like, he fell from his hip. | ||
| She was like, he landed. | ||
| Nevermind. | ||
| She didn't want to say. | ||
| She didn't want to tell him. | ||
| So we have this from Andy No. | ||
| Andy No tweets at a far left anti-capitalism protest today at Chase Bank in Manhattan. | ||
| A masked protester falls after attempting to climb the building. | ||
| The black paint he was carrying is spilled all over the ground. | ||
| So I'm not going to show the actual, because YouTube doesn't want us to, but I'll show you him climbing. | ||
| Because apparently that's okay. | ||
| And then there's people yelling at him, get down! | ||
| He's not that high, I'm sorry. | ||
| He's like 8 feet up? | ||
| Yeah, he's like 8 feet up. | ||
| And then he tries to grab onto the awning, falls down, his paint splatters. | ||
| Here's my favorite part. | ||
| Call 911! | ||
| Immediately. | ||
| Isn't it funny? | ||
| You know what I thought about this? | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| The guy slams the ground. | ||
| Why not a social worker? | ||
| No, no, no, here's what I love. | ||
| But yes, yes, yes. | ||
| What I love about this is, imagine it's like 1870, and a guy is climbing the front of a | ||
| bank and he's like, done with capitalism, and then he falls and hits his pelvis. | ||
| Do you know what the people around him would do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Call for help! | ||
| They just leave. | ||
| My hip is broken! | ||
| Call the sheriff! | ||
| No one's gonna do anything. | ||
| They're gonna walk away from him. | ||
| It's amazing that we're in today's day and age and it's so pampered that these LARPers are like, I'm gonna climb the Chase Manhattan. | ||
| It was like the Chase Manhattan security guard. | ||
| I can't confirm that he worked for Chase, but it was the same guy. | ||
| It looked like a security guard for the building was like, we've called the ambulance. | ||
| Don't worry. | ||
| It's like the dude was just about to vandalize your building. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| See, we're so tolerant and accepting of this behavior. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| What are we supposed to do? | ||
| We can't just leave someone there. | ||
| But I'll tell you this. | ||
| When I saw that, I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm gonna say it. | ||
| I laughed a hearty laugh. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because I've fallen from higher, and I watched Jake Brown fall from two stories at the X Games. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| Slam onto his hip, get up, and walk out waving while everyone cheered for him. | ||
| So, like, so for those of you who aren't familiar with what happened there, that's, it was in the 2007, I think it was, or maybe 2006 X Games. | ||
| Jake Brown's on the mega ramp. | ||
| It's like a hundred feet high drop-in. | ||
| Then he launches like 70 feet. | ||
| Then he goes up a 20-foot vert wall. | ||
| He's like 48 feet in the air. | ||
| He loses control and slams into the deck. | ||
| His shoes fly like 50 to 100 feet, just crazy. | ||
| And everyone thought he was dead. | ||
| I watched it live, and we were just like, oh my god. | ||
| And then they walk over to him, they check out his neck and everything, they lift him up, and then he limps out waving to the crowd. | ||
| This Antifa guy falls 8 feet, and he's going, Oh, they're like, what's wrong? | ||
| My hip. | ||
| He's frail. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He's frail. | ||
| You need to drink more milk. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, it's, it's, there's this weird thing where people have survived falls from extreme heights, but then some people will fall like literally five or six feet and they'll, they'll sever, sever their spine and die. | ||
| Like it's happened. | ||
| It's really horrible and scary. | ||
| Um, my friend, I was in the military and he was telling me about someone in his unit who was a paratrooper and his parachute did not open when he jumped out of the plane and his backup didn't open. | ||
| And he landed and he survived. | ||
| He basically shattered all of his bones. | ||
| But yeah, he survived the fall, which is insane. | ||
| Yeah, apparently there's like techniques you can do. | ||
| I guess they say aim for trees. | ||
| Yeah, the way you land. | ||
| Let me tell y'all a story. | ||
| Let's talk about some skateboarding. | ||
| See, I was like 16 and I was skating at a skate park and there was this... We'll just call it a box. | ||
| It was like five feet high, five feet off the ground. | ||
| And then from the top of it, there was a gap over another ramp, which is about five feet. | ||
| I spent about an hour, I'm 16, I'm trying to do what's called a backside 180 | ||
| over this five foot high, five foot long gap to the ground. | ||
| Backside is when you're spinning and you can't see where you're going | ||
| because you're looking behind you. | ||
| I think I fell like 30 times. | ||
| And every time I would hit the ground, I'd slip out or I'd roll. | ||
| And then finally I landed, rolled away all clean and everyone's like, oh, and they're all cheering for me. | ||
| And then literally like a minute after that, some like seven year old kid was jumping up and down and frolicking with his mom, slipped on the ground in front of the ramp and broke his ankle. | ||
| And that's when I was like, man, that weird. | ||
| It's crazy how like I can jump off this on purpose. | ||
| For like 30, you know, 30 tries. | ||
| And each time I fall, hit the ground, I just bounce and roll away and get up and I'm like, I want to try it again. | ||
| Well, it's such a strange thing. | ||
| Like there, so my brothers were both in a car accident probably about 10 years ago now on the highway while they were doing 80. | ||
| And the car was like completely totaled and they had their seatbelts on and thank God they survived. | ||
| There are people who end up like permanently brain damaged after a literal fender bender. | ||
| It's just, it's crazy. | ||
| You never know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, dude. | |
| It's legit. | ||
| Yeah, some people, like, will bang their head just a little bit on, like, the window and then it's just, like, causes damage. | ||
| But, uh, are we basically saying that this Antifa guy has been severely injured and we must, you know... I have no idea. | ||
| Maybe he got really hurt? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I didn't see the video. | ||
| Did not want EMS or anything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was like that that vandal deserves to lay there in pain But that was like a mean part of me. | |
| I don't know the way you want to take care of your enemies as well like the We you know in in the movie the Patriot with Mel Gibson He tends to both sides after the battle and then the British, you know Because they're evil and they always will be the right counts exactly basically, you know burn his house down because they did it and I'm kidding about the Brits. | ||
| You've evolved. | ||
| See, we know you hate the Brits. | ||
| Apparently, there's a big controversy, I guess, because in that movie, they depict the British as, like, really brutal. | ||
| Way over the top. | ||
| They, like, make them Nazis. | ||
| Yeah, no, for real. | ||
| He kills his kid. | ||
| He's like, you tended to the wounded. | ||
| Kill his son. | ||
| No Gifts is great at propaganda. | ||
| It was such American propaganda, that movie. | ||
| The truth is, the British Empire had power, and they were basically the state, and telling the Americans who were like, yo, leave us alone, what to do, and so conflict breaks out. | ||
| But anyway, what are we talking about? | ||
| So actually I'm conflicted on this too, because there's a difference between like understanding there's a conflict in a war and these people who keep doing this stuff. | ||
| They don't stop. | ||
| And what happens is they set fires, they break things, they don't get arrested. | ||
| In fact, we render aid to them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so I understand. | ||
| I would never let a person just sit there if they were truly injured. | ||
| I'd call the medical team. | ||
| I'm just pointing out the difficulty here and how do you stop someone from doing something dumb like trying to climb, chase while they're screaming, get down. | ||
| And then he gets hurt and we're like, who all saw that coming? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, that's the thing. | ||
| I mean, treat them, but they should face the full consequences that are due to them legally. | ||
| We should be arresting these people, of course. | ||
| Don't let anything off the hook. | ||
| Yeah, but it's the prosecutors. | ||
| And I'll tell you this, man. | ||
| We've had a bunch of conversations in the past couple of weeks where I've been like, tax the rich! | ||
| Not literally, but I'm just saying, stop billionaires from influencing politics. | ||
| And I get a lot of pushback, you know, like, I get pushback from, you know, Jack Murphy, Michael Malice, and they didn't agree with me on that one. | ||
| But my issue is, these district attorneys, they're getting put in office through the money of these ultra-wealthy Progressive billionaire types. | ||
| Not all of our progressives. | ||
| I don't agree with any one of these billionaires just flooding the zone with money and shutting up the opinions of the actual people who live there. | ||
| But when people are just swept up with hundreds of millions of dollars in propaganda, these DAs get elected. | ||
| We know that, you know, George Soros, for instance, was donating a lot to a lot of the district attorneys. | ||
| That's just a conspiracy theory, Tim. | ||
| I don't know why you would ever say George Soros' name. | ||
| I want everyone to know that I like having a YouTube channel and I denounce Tim right now. | ||
| It's horrible. | ||
| Don't say anything about George Soros. | ||
| Well, I'll tell you this. | ||
| It was the Mercers, the Koch brothers. | ||
| It's George Soros. | ||
| It's Bezos. | ||
| It's... | ||
| Mackenzie Bezos, it is Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg. | ||
| All of these ultra-wealthy people dump money into politics, and one of the big things we saw was that, I believe, this is really funny, like Fox News, I think Newt Gingrich was on, and he was like, you know, George Soros' foundation was helping to get these district attorneys elected. | ||
| And then Fox was like, we don't say that around here. | ||
| And then people were like, that's a fact. | ||
| That's so funny to me. | ||
| Apparently you can't even say the guy's name anymore? | ||
| That's creepy. | ||
| Look, the point is, I don't like the billionaires. | ||
| The millionaires and the billionaires doing this. | ||
| Because then listen, these people do dumb things, they get arrested, and the newly elected DA who's very progressive goes, you're free to go. | ||
| No charges. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| There should be some oversight. | ||
| You can't name Soros. | ||
| If I had only read one single book in my entire life, I might compare him to Voldemort. | ||
| He was self-made, right? | ||
| George Soros? | ||
| Didn't he come from a lowly... The left, apparently, the only book they've ever read are Harry Potter. | ||
| Here's the thing, all they ever reference are Harry Potter and The Handmaid's Tale, both of which are movies or exist in visual media. | ||
| So it's like, I know you didn't even read them. | ||
| The only literature they quote exists on television. | ||
| Did you guys ever read Dune? | ||
| No. | ||
| You got to read it aren't they making it was that one's that new movie coming out? | ||
| It's been they made a movie with with sting in the early 80s And I saw that one they made a made-for-tv movies with | ||
| William Hurt. It was way better weird Yeah, the movie with the David Lynch movie was a little off. | ||
| Oh, yeah, you told us to watch it Didn't you not the day will watch it for weirdness, but the | ||
| made-for-tv movie is way better, but the book the book I heard the book was good, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that was why I was about it's basically this kid this this this this | |
| This king and his son his family or have to flee the planet and they go are they leave the planet and they go to? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This new planet. That's a desert planet where that to harvest the spice. There's just like this galactic | |
| spice trade trade item and There's like conflict over the over the spice the political | ||
| conflict I thought there's something like an Analogous to you know antifa. | ||
| No, it's just such a great book that all these I guess you call them like this Harry Potter's great Dune read Dune. | ||
| It is political. | ||
| Maybe there's something to it. | ||
| These people just don't read books man Well, this is my favorite thing. | ||
| I saw this meme a while ago and it was like comparing Trump and Harry Potter instead. | ||
| Just like troll lefties. | ||
| It was very funny, but it was like favorably comparing Trump to Harry Potter and people were spreading it around. | ||
| I thought that was hilarious. | ||
| So who in that context, who's Voldemort? | ||
| Probably Hillary. | ||
| Probably maybe Soros. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Oh, come on. | ||
| I'm not into Harry Potter. | ||
| What are we talking about? | ||
| I love how, like, at this protest, they're holding up a big banner that says Solidarity. | ||
| And I'm like, what is that? | ||
| What protest? | ||
| At the one where the guy climbs the wall and then falls and hurts himself. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| They're, like, holding up a big banner that says Solidarity. | ||
| And I'm like, do people, like, know what you're talking about? | ||
| For real, the banking establishes a problem, but painting black stuff on their windows isn't... That's gonna show them. | ||
| That'll stop it. | ||
| That won't get the cops to come out and crack down. | ||
| No, I can just imagine, you know, the CEO, Jamie Dimon sitting in the, I don't know if he's still | ||
| CEO or whatever, probably. And then he looks, he looks on the TV, he looks out from the 100th | ||
| floor of whatever building he's in and he sees tiny little dots and he goes, what are they doing? | ||
| Is that, is that black paint on my window? | ||
| What have I done? | ||
| And then he goes, oh, push the button. | ||
| And he hits a button, and the building is electrically charged. | ||
| And the guy's electrocuted and falls off the building, and everyone just thinks he slipped. | ||
| That's what happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh. | |
| That explains everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love it. | |
| Like when that when when the guy tells the story about what happened, it's very dramatic He's like in his all my muscles seized up at once in his version of it. | ||
| He's super ripped. | ||
| He's like It's like a hundred feet in the air and then Jamie Dimon punched him in the face. | ||
| You'll pay for this All right, there are better ways to protest the banks keep that in mind guys I Yeah, I've always maintained that damaging a window does nothing to anybody, but the people have to clean it. | ||
| Do you guys see this guy suing the Federal Reserve? | ||
| Have you guys looked into that? | ||
| I think he's going to win, Ian. | ||
| I think he might. | ||
| I think he might have a chance. | ||
| He's going to sue them for everything they have, and they're just going to keep printing and printing and printing, and he's going to be the wealthiest person who ever lived. | ||
| Did you guys see Ryan Long's Not Antifa window repair? | ||
| Yes, that was hysterical. | ||
| That was so good. | ||
| So they have shirts that say, not Antifa window repair. | ||
| And he's like, we figured out a way to maximize profits while we're protesting. | ||
| And they have Antifa shirts and they take them off and it's like, not Antifa window repair. | ||
| And he's like, basically we go out, organize these protests. | ||
| So everyone smashes the windows and then we're right there to pick up the business. | ||
| And then they actually went into bodegas and talked to them, like, we'll fix your windows if they get smashed out. | ||
| Yeah, good stuff. | ||
| Good comedy. | ||
| Good Ryan Long comedy. | ||
| He's a genius, man. | ||
| Alright, well, have we talked about Antifa falling? | ||
| I think we have. | ||
| Let's talk about the Section 230 stuff, man. | ||
| The first thing I want to do is I want to lead with this. | ||
| 81m.org. | ||
| Have you guys seen this? | ||
| Have you heard about this? | ||
| Have you seen this? | ||
| No. | ||
| 81M? | ||
| 81M.org. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Tracking the White House YouTube channel. | ||
| Oh, yes. | ||
| We were talking about this. | ||
| This is a great story. | ||
| And it's not shocking at all. | ||
| I mean, it's crazy. | ||
| So check this out. | ||
| If you go to 81M.org, they say that they're analyzing the real like to dislike ratio versus what's displayed on the White House channel. | ||
| So you'll look right here. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| On April 5th, 14,570 views. | ||
| The video is titled, President Biden Delivers Remarks on the Tradition of Easter at the White House. | ||
| You can see the official approval rate, according to YouTube, is 12.58%. | ||
| It's got 1,599 dislikes. | ||
| It's got 1,599 dislikes. | ||
| The real approval rate is only 4.76% because it has 4,606 dislikes. | ||
| This is every single video. | ||
| You can see that they're deleting dislikes, not nearly enough. | ||
| Okay, in this one, it's not very, it's not much different. | ||
| Some of them are fairly dramatic, like this is a thousand dislikes, and there's four thousand. | ||
| This one's got twenty thousand dislikes, and YouTube claims it only has seven thousand. | ||
| Now, when I first saw this, I thought to myself, how do I know this is true? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Maybe they're just lying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They could be lying. | ||
| Could just be liars. | ||
| Could be liars. | ||
| Dirty. | ||
| That's the story. | ||
| Pants on fire liars. | ||
| But they also include an additional metric to compare using the same data. | ||
| At the end, they say, trust me, bro. | ||
| So I'm pretty sure they're telling the truth. | ||
| And come on, man. | ||
| Yeah, come on, man. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| I'm like, well, I don't know. | ||
| He's got a point. | ||
| That sounds like Biden. | ||
| They track PewDiePie. | ||
| When you look at PewDiePie's like to dislike ratio, it's almost identical across the board. | ||
| There are some disparities. | ||
| But that's because YouTube does legitimately get rid of spam dislikes from, you know, bot farms and things like that. | ||
| PewDiePie is overwhelmingly, his numbers are accurate. | ||
| So when you look at a massive channel like his, then you look at the White House, it's very strange. | ||
| Now, again, I'll say it. | ||
| It's possible the people behind 81M are just, like, giving us bunk numbers and then claiming that they're right there. | ||
| QAnon Trump supporters. | ||
| Yeah, far right! | ||
| Is it 81M.org? | ||
| Yeah, 81M.org. | ||
| That's possible. | ||
| Yeah, maybe they're just lying, but we know for a fact that YouTube has already stated in the past they do remove likes from the White House YouTube channel. | ||
| Dislikes? | ||
| Dislikes, sorry. | ||
| And they announced that they may get rid of the dislike feature. | ||
| I heard about this. | ||
| For people's health. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| I hope so, because it's bad for my health when I get a dislike on one of my videos. | ||
| I wish YouTube would come through and delete some of those. | ||
| But you can still see them, it's just other people can't. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| That's not gonna help my health. | ||
| What does that do for me? | ||
| Didn't they change it to say, not for me, instead of a down vote? | ||
| I did see that. | ||
| And you're like, this kind of video is not for me. | ||
| And then the algorithm tries to feed you less videos like that. | ||
| I saw a screenshot of a Steven Crowder video that said, not for me, instead of dislike. | ||
| Huh. | ||
| I never disliked. | ||
| Since 2007, I kind of made like a personal choice to never do that to someone. | ||
| I either like it or not. | ||
| If I don't like it, I don't say anything. | ||
| I actually think they should get rid of dislikes. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Likes and dislikes? | ||
| Dislikes absolutely do hurt channels. | ||
| They make sure that other people can't see the content. | ||
| So what happens is, because Crowder brought this up, that they'll put out a video where it's like, Joe Biden says, you know, X. And people will go, I can't believe Joe Biden said that. | ||
| Dislike. | ||
| And then he's like, no, don't dislike us! | ||
| Dislike, we agree with you! | ||
| Like, we like what we're saying! | ||
| Maybe it's possible to adjust the algorithm so that disliking the video doesn't result in fewer people viewing it, but the audience is still able to know what the general consensus on the video is. | ||
| I mean, you can have, like, Facebook has little emojis, so you can have the anger emoji, the heart emoji, the thumbs up emoji. | ||
| Make it more complicated. | ||
| And they kind of show, like, did it make you angry? | ||
| Did it make you happy? | ||
| Did it make you laugh? | ||
| So they could use that algorithm. | ||
| I've got a really good idea. | ||
| I think this is the future for YouTube. | ||
| They have five stars, and you can give the video a ranking of zero all the way at the beginning, or five stars, and each video will be somewhere along the spectrum. | ||
| Why didn't anyone ever try? | ||
| Why didn't anyone ever do that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It would have been great. | |
| They should have been doing that since the beginning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Like, right when they started, they should have had that system. | ||
| Like, before Google bought them. | ||
| I'm just a genius. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When did that change? | ||
| Why did they get rid of that? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Honestly, I do think a like-dislike thing is more accurate than a star system, though, because someone could be like, I like this, but what someone considers four- or five-star content is gonna vary wildly between people. | ||
| Two people can like something equally as much, but one person's like, this is five stars, and the other person's like, Three and a half. | ||
| I saw a Yelp review once where it was like the restaurant got a three star rating out of five from someone and they were like, this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. | ||
| Absolutely great. | ||
| Three out of five. | ||
| And then the owner was like, would you mind giving us more stars if you really liked it that much? | ||
| But it's because the person thought three out of five was like really good. | ||
| Four was like, wow. | ||
| And five was too perfect to exist. | ||
| So, um, I found, I was on a trip and I booked my own hotel, unfortunately, without reading the reviews. | ||
| And then when I got there, I was like, this place is a little sketchy. | ||
| Why don't I check out the reviews? | ||
| So I went to the reviews and it was so horrifically bad. | ||
| I was like, I'm going to go. | ||
| I'm just going to look at the worst first, just to see if this place is dangerous. | ||
| It was very dangerous. | ||
| One of the reviews was like, someone was killed here the night I was staying here. | ||
| The next day, I'm not kidding, the next day someone was shot in the parking lot. | ||
| I was like, okay. | ||
| And then one of the reviews said, it was like listing all these things that were wrong with the room. | ||
| And it was like, and I found a crack pipe under the sink. | ||
| Free crack pipe? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Complimentary. | ||
| I was fine with a mint on the pillow, but apparently a crack pipe under the sink is the new thing. | ||
| And the response from the hotel was, thank you for staying at Blank Inn. | ||
| I was crying, dude. | ||
| I have to send the screenshots to you. | ||
| Because I was at this hotel and I was horrified, but I was also laughing really hard at these reviews. | ||
| I was like, ah, I have to leave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where was it? | |
| Like, right now. | ||
| This was in Georgia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Bad neighborhood. | ||
| Yeah, it was in a bad part of town. | ||
| Should've read the reviews. | ||
| I looked at the reviews. | ||
| Well, here's the thing. | ||
| I so foolishly, I booked it very quickly because I was in kind of a rush. | ||
| Mistake. | ||
| But it said on the website's page, most people who come here return later. | ||
| So I was like, oh, it must be a nice place. | ||
| Well, it turns out people who like go to hotels to do like drug deals and other nefarious things will like go to the same hotel a bunch of times. | ||
| Hey, this place worked. | ||
| Come back. | ||
| Sorting reviews by likes or sorting them by dislikes. | ||
| So you can see like all the dislikes first. | ||
| I also like sorting by recent. | ||
| So you can be like, what happened yesterday? | ||
| And the nice thing about Steam, for instance... Because like someone gets killed at the hotel two days in a row once, and all of a sudden people don't like the place forever. | ||
| That's a lot bigger of a deal than three years ago. | ||
| Oh, Steam lets you see how many hours someone has played a video game before they rate it. | ||
| So you can kind of get some perspective. | ||
| So if you knew more about the person that was giving the rating, you might be able to tell. | ||
| But then, I mean, that's more of a complex algorithm. | ||
| It's funny because I was searching for other hotels and I found this place and I was like, I'm going to look at the negative reviews first just to see. | ||
| And the worst review was like, the attendant was very rude to me. | ||
| I was like, I'm staying here. | ||
| This is great. | ||
| The main issue with like the YouTube dislike thing is that first and foremost, the White House is an official channel that produces content, not as a career, but because they're the White House. | ||
| So they put out updates. | ||
| So everyone sma- Jill Biden at the end of his press conference has to be like, smash that like button! | ||
| He should be saying that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, share, and subscribe to the channel! | |
| Thanks for watching, YouTube! | ||
| Could you imagine if he's at a press conference again and he's talking to the press corps and he's like, now for all you journalists! | ||
| Sit in here, you know, we're on YouTube. | ||
| So I'm gonna give a shout out to everybody smash that like button. | ||
| Don't forget to hit that notification bell and subscribe We're really close to breaking 1 million subscribers. | ||
| So come on, man. | ||
| Become a subscriber. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is he holding up his play button? | |
| Kimmel does it for his show. | ||
| So maybe they should start. | ||
| At the end there's like an insert clip where he's like, thanks for watching our YouTube channel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just be sure to He should do that. | |
| Biden should do that. | ||
| I would actually give him a thumbs up if he did. | ||
| I would too. | ||
| I have to. | ||
| It's Joe Biden for sure. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| I'm like, alright, I admire the hustle and I've been in his position so I get it. | ||
| He's like plugging the federal government's now running on Patreon. | ||
| It's got 328.2 million patrons. | ||
| No, dude, it's like half that. | ||
| It's like, if you make this much money, you must subscribe for this tier to make this much money. | ||
| And it was like, and then in big bold letters, if you don't subscribe, we'll come and arrest you at gunpoint. | ||
| That's how patrons should work, right? | ||
| So listen, here's the issue I have with the dislike button. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Let's say somebody likes political commentary and they like subject matter about whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| When they give a dislike, they actually like this kind of content. | ||
| They actually like this subject, but they disagree with something in it. | ||
| Maybe it's the opinion of the person in an article. | ||
| Maybe it's the opinion of the host, but they do typically enjoy this kind of content. | ||
| The dislike in that regard doesn't work because then it results in fewer people seeing content | ||
| they would actually enjoy. | ||
| So ultimately what I'm saying is, if I make a video where I'm like, I think the government | ||
| should bring back government cheese or whatever, people are going to be like, bad opinion, | ||
| X. | ||
| And then what YouTube hears is not, I dislike this opinion. | ||
| YouTube hears this video is a bad video. | ||
| So then there may be people who actually agree with that opinion and they won't be served the content. | ||
| YouTube is effectively creating political silos where they force people into one or the other bubble because if you capture a liberal audience and you say, liberal opinion! | ||
| All the liberals give you a thumbs up. | ||
| So then YouTube's like, share it with more people! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If you say conservative opinion and liberals give it a thumbs down, they stop showing it to anybody. | ||
| Then what happens is these people are forced to choose whichever bubble that YouTube sorts them to. | ||
| It's almost like, you ever see that thing where they have the conveyor belt with all the little baby chickens on it? | ||
| And then they're like picking them up and looking at them and throwing the males into the meat grinder? | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Yeah, very rude. | ||
| It's basically like what it is. | ||
| It's how it feels, getting a dislike. | ||
| Every single one. | ||
| That's not what I mean. | ||
| What I mean is, you start a new channel, right? | ||
| Start a brand new channel. | ||
| And say, my opinion on immigration. | ||
| Whichever person that YouTube randomly suggests that video to, assuming they do, if their opinion is liberal, and they give you a thumbs up, then YouTube's gonna start growing your channel. | ||
| If they send it to a conservative, and your opinion is liberal, your channel's crushed. | ||
| In addition to that, like you said, you'll make a video, you'll say, these people got murdered and tortured, and the person will be like, thank you so much for making this video and telling me about it. | ||
| That's horrible that they got murdered. | ||
| Thumbs down. | ||
| That's what I was saying with Crowder. | ||
| Because it's important for people to remember that the like and dislike button is not there for you to assess whether you're happy with what's being reported on. | ||
| It's there to bully creators with bad opinions. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Or just ugly ones. | ||
| Yeah, like me. | ||
| Every time I'm on the dislike ratio, you guys just get ratioed super hard. | ||
| I was like, why is this ugly man on the podcast? | ||
| I need a haircut, man. | ||
| Look, he's growing out afro that thing all the way. | ||
| You know, it's built for it. | ||
| What really bothers me the most, though, is that people aren't smashing the like button for this handsome gentleman. | ||
| Smash it! | ||
| Smash that like button. | ||
| You guys have to hit it. | ||
| We're almost at a million subscribers. | ||
| Do this. | ||
| We're gonna get the plaques. | ||
| But not even for the plaques. | ||
| I want the plaque! | ||
| Guys, if we don't get, how many likes do you get on average? | ||
| We get, like, 12? | ||
| If we don't get 15,000 likes, I'm deleting Freedom Tunes. | ||
| Right now. | ||
| So smash that like button. | ||
| Well, no, this resulted in a genre of videos that were literally just smash the like button videos, where it was really funny. | ||
| There'd be, like, a guy, and he'd be like, hey, everybody, what's going on? | ||
| We're going to smash that like button. | ||
| The camera, like, zooms in on his face back and forth. | ||
| There's, like, explosions. | ||
| And it's, like, 5 million likes. | ||
| And it worked because YouTube would prop those videos up. | ||
| So then people just started doing that. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| I mean, people will always find a way to mess with the rules. | ||
| Everyone's always trying to get away with something at all times. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Sometimes people will be like, and go ahead and smash that. | ||
| And they'll have like low energy, but like, you gotta like, it's more than like the buildup. | ||
| Like you can say tap that like button, but if you say it with like vehemence, you know, then it gets people to tap it. | ||
| But if you don't have the energy, then it's kind of funny. | ||
| That happens to me sometimes. | ||
| Cause like there, there are some videos I end up having to pull an all nighter in order to finish. | ||
| And then I don't record the bumper until right before I upload. | ||
| So the video is like really high energy and crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then I'm like, Guys, please like, share, subscribe, and hit the like button if you can. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Now I'm like stumbling over my words. | ||
| I literally become Joe Biden when I don't have enough sleep. | ||
| You know, the button, the thing. | ||
| Maybe they should get rid or alter thumbs up to say like, show me more of this. | ||
| Because on Facebook, that's what it does. | ||
| Would you like to know more button? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| Click here if you'd like to know more. | ||
| At the end, there shouldn't be a like or dislike. | ||
| Once the video ends, it should go, would you like to know more? | ||
| And it should just appear and you can click it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| With Facebook, I... Would you like to know more about what? | ||
| The specific video? | ||
|
unidentified
|
From this person, it's basically... Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize. | |
| Went over my head. | ||
| I'll go down the list and I'll see things from people that I like following and I don't even care what they... | ||
| But I'll just like it because I want to see more from that person. So I've broken the out | ||
| I've seen passed through the algorithm Can we get about a thousand likes for Ian breaking the | ||
| algorithm like looking past it like it? | ||
| So apparently if on Facebook you post that you have a kid and got married | ||
| It'll appear on the top of all of your friends feeds and so what people started doing for a while is they'd post | ||
| like just got married and had a had a new child so excited and | ||
| Anyway, none of that's true. | ||
| I just want to let you know that I'm having a barbecue at my house. | ||
| No joke, people were doing that. | ||
| Because the algorithm found out that people interacted the most with posts about marriage and having kids. | ||
| And everyone's like, love it! | ||
| They're all commenting and thumbs up. | ||
| So they get boosted. | ||
| And then the algorithm makes no sense. | ||
| Shameful, Tim. | ||
| That's fraud. | ||
| Well, we're talking about social media manipulation, and I think this should segue us into our next really major story. | ||
| Clarence Thomas blasts Section 230 wants common carrier rules for Twitter. | ||
| Thomas claims Twitter's right to cut off speech raises First Amendment problem. | ||
| This is an amazing story. | ||
| Do you guys remember when Trump got sued for blocking people? | ||
| What? | ||
| Vaguely. | ||
| Here's the thing, probably, I'm not going to say I didn't pay attention to it, maybe I did, but there were so many Trump stories that it's like, they've all just gone now. | ||
| They're all out of my head. | ||
| They just got washed right out. | ||
| As soon as he left office, I was like, that's it. | ||
| Don't need to remember any of this. | ||
| Like Dumbledore with the pensive, you took your memories out of Harry Potter! | ||
| I'm going to get a generational spirit if you can talk about Harry Potter around me. | ||
| Okay, so Trump got sued, and this court ruled Trump can't block people. | ||
| And it was like one of the stupidest rulings. | ||
| A lot of people were like, that's dumb, because Twitter is a private business, and how could it be a public forum? | ||
| Here's the ruling. | ||
| Trump tweets, it creates a public forum where people can reply. | ||
| So if Trump bans them, it's violating their First Amendment right, so he can't do that. | ||
| Then a lot of people were like, but Twitter's a private company and Twitter can remove that. | ||
| And Twitter did start putting restrictions. | ||
| So how can you call it a public forum created when a private company has a right to remove this? | ||
| The way I viewed it was like, imagine Donald Trump holds an event open to the public, but hires a private security contractor. | ||
| So what, the private security company can kick people out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Protesters show up, oh but it's a private security company. | ||
| You know, they're the ones running this event and control things. | ||
| They have the authority to remove people so it's not a violation of your First Amendment rights. | ||
| If you're protesting the president and a private company removes you, so the court's ruled, | ||
| Trump can't remove you, but a private company can? | ||
| Makes no sense. | ||
| So it actually got upheld on appeal. | ||
| Then it made its way to the Supreme Court where they dismissed it and vacated the ruling. | ||
| Congratulations, if you're a politician like AOC, you can now block people again. | ||
| Because she was also implicated in this, because she was blocking people. | ||
| Here's where it gets crazy, though. | ||
| The whole thing's backfiring. | ||
| The left wanted the regulation, and with this ruling, Clarence Thomas issued this massive opinion. | ||
| I mean, massive in terms of the impact it may end up having. | ||
| He issued his opinion, which will have a massive impact, in my opinion, where he said that How is it that a private company like Twitter can ban the president but, you know, these courts are claiming it's a First Amendment issue? | ||
| Maybe these are not platforms. | ||
| In fact, they're common carriers like phone companies. | ||
| Here's what I'm saying. | ||
| The rules for Section 230, for those that aren't familiar, basically say a web service platform can't be held responsible for the things its users say. | ||
| You've got to sue the user. | ||
| Long story short. | ||
| If Seamus has a blog, let's say you set up a blog where you write articles about religion. | ||
| And you have a comment section so that people can respond to you and give you thoughts. | ||
| And you have rules where you're like, this is specifically for talk on Christianity and our opinions. | ||
| It makes sense, in my opinion then, to ban people who violate your rules. | ||
| Because the point of your website is for you, Seamus, to publish. | ||
| Not for the comments. | ||
| Those are ancillary. | ||
| Those are peripheral to the main objective. | ||
| Twitter's express purpose is users commenting and posting things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is more like a phone company. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Imagine if, like, you went to Verizon for a phone, not to talk to people, but to hear what the CEO of Verizon wanted to tell you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| It's very different. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Oh, but you can call someone, but every day you open your phone and there's the CEO talking. | ||
| And then you can, like, well, I think you're dumb. | ||
| That's more like what they're trying to claim. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's kind of how these Android phones are. | ||
| I don't think Google doesn't hit me with an ad every time I open my phone, but there are Google ads on here. | ||
| Well that is just, they are just burning money if they don't do that. | ||
| The Libertarians got mad at me though. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| The Libertarian Party of Texas said it was horrible for free speech because the government was getting in the way. | ||
| This is the weirdest thing to me about the big L Libertarian position on this. | ||
| Why is it that the big L Libertarian Party is pro-authoritarianism as long as it's coming from corporations? | ||
| It's really weird. | ||
| That's very weird. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So I'm little L Libertarian, meaning I overwhelmingly just want the individual to be protected. | ||
| When a massive multinational corporation is dumping money into politics and manipulating the ability for people to speak and get their representatives elected, that's authoritarianism, and I'm not okay with that. | ||
| Well, yeah, it would be one thing if it was like a totally, completely free private market, then it would make some sense to be like, no, they have to be protected and we can't break them up. | ||
| There's so much state involvement already that it seems as if state involvement in the direction of helping people to express themselves instead of allowing the big tech companies to do whatever they want and be supported in that decision is probably more in line with a lot of the classically liberal principles libertarians have, agree or disagree with them. | ||
| You can't break up Twitter, though. | ||
| Twitter works as a service because of its ubiquity. | ||
| If you broke up Twitter into, like, ten services, nobody would want to use any of these services because, like, who would you be following? | ||
| Unless they were forced into the Fediverse, then it would make sense, but you can't break up Google or Twitter in the same way. | ||
| You can break up Google because Google has a bunch of different companies. | ||
| Like, Google search can't be broken up. | ||
| They dominate search, period. | ||
| Nothing you can do about it. | ||
| However, Google, you know, Alphabet also owns an ad network, ad sales. | ||
| They run ads, they buy ads, and they've got, you know, G Suite, they've got Calendar, they've | ||
| got all these different... | ||
| X, they've got X. | ||
| Yeah, all of these different areas that do a bunch of different crazy things. | ||
| You could break that up. | ||
| So in terms of big tech, what I see is the usefulness of social media is in its monopolistic | ||
| tendencies. | ||
| Not in terms of abuse of its users, but in the fact that everybody uses one service to communicate. | ||
| So that's why I'm very much in favor of it needs to be regulated. | ||
| There's not going to be Twitter 2. | ||
| Parler almost came about, it got crushed. | ||
| So that's where it's really bad. | ||
| It's not about antitrust, it's about What is this, Rico? | ||
| What is this, racketeering? | ||
| What do you call it when all these companies come together and they collude to stifle any competition? | ||
| Hostile takeover? | ||
| No, it's just trust violations and stuff like that, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Bad stuff. | ||
| Hostile takeover is when you buy a company out, right? | ||
| Those were made illegal in the early 1900s. | ||
| No, I think they still happen. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| Well, they're supposed to be illegal. | ||
| They buy up as much shares as possible until they have a controlling majority, and then they take over. | ||
| Yeah, they ruin the value of the other company. | ||
| Which is what those horrible Redditors did to GameStop. | ||
| It was very sad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Truly awful. | ||
| Well, did you hear that they're going to be issuing new stock? | ||
| Really? | ||
| Wait, they just started over? | ||
| GameStop, I think, announced that they had a bump in sales and that they were going to be doing a stock offering, and then a bunch of people started selling because a stock offering means the short sellers have an exit. | ||
| However, the stock still isn't like 200 bucks, so... Really? | ||
| That's a lot of money. | ||
| It's still really high right now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm surprised it didn't take a dive. | ||
| My thoughts on this free speech thing is that I've never heard of a corporation upholding free speech in the history of the world. | ||
| That is what the United States government was built for. | ||
| So obviously, I think we should rely on the government for this one. | ||
| The government doesn't guarantee free speech. | ||
| The government is prohibited from infringing upon free speech. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| So when people... The Libertarian Party responded to me on Twitter and they were like, you think the problem will be, like, it'll be made better with government involvement? | ||
| And I'm like, the government involvement goes so far as saying, you can't do that. | ||
| Not that they're gonna show up to Twitter's headquarters... Nationalize Twitter? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| And then you send your tweet out and they give you a tracking number, they'll be like, it'll be up in two weeks. | ||
| Right, the government is like, your inalienable right is the freedom to speech. | ||
| Now we're gonna make sure people don't infringe on that. | ||
| Yeah, it's not about the government working at Twitter, it's about a pathway to a lawsuit. | ||
| It's about the government saying, you can sue over this. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| And there's also something to be said for, even if you left the system the way it was now, | ||
| for the terms of service to be applied equitably. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| Because there are so many people who have said things which are horrifically violent, | ||
| but it's in the direction of assaulting conservatives. | ||
| Like, I mean, we saw this a lot, not to beat a dead horse, but hey, | ||
| some dead horses need their butts kicked. | ||
| This is a pretty serious topic. | ||
| The whole Nick Sandman story is the perfect example. | ||
| You had, like, grown adults jumping on this kid. | ||
| No one has a more punchable face. | ||
| We should put them in a wood chipper. | ||
| Psychotic stuff like that. | ||
| And they weren't banned. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, but then Trump was like, you're my special boys and you're very peaceful. | |
| And they deleted Trump completely off the platform. | ||
| They're screaming at the top of their lungs to get rid of him. | ||
| So here's what could happen with Clarence Thomas. | ||
| It doesn't do anything. | ||
| They dismissed this case. | ||
| They vacated the previous ruling. | ||
| But Clarence Thomas's opinion could be used in a lawsuit or as justification for regulation of these platforms through Congress. | ||
| I really doubt Congress would do anything because, surprise surprise, the left is not in favor of free speech when they're enemies that are being censored. | ||
| So there's potential for a lawsuit, I suppose. | ||
| Under Clarence Thomas' opinion, someone could now sue and say, here's what Clarence Thomas said. | ||
| What would they sue exactly? | ||
| What would they sue for? | ||
| So, it's interesting. | ||
| I've seen a bunch of arguments, and they tend to fail for a variety of reasons, but when you sign up for Twitter, you're entering into a contract with Twitter, as well as, like, you're both in a contract. | ||
| You're both parties to this agreement. | ||
| Now, Twitter and most platforms say we reserve the right to ban anyone for any reason, and that basically, you know, cuts you off. | ||
| You can't really do much. | ||
| But the general idea we've seen from some people is, We entered into agreement and Twitter violated that by removing me for fake reasons. | ||
| The other thing, however, that I think is being overlooked by people is that Twitter should be sued for defamation and libel when someone gets banned. | ||
| So, for instance, when Milo got suspended, I think they said something like he was running multiple accounts. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So they should have said, we're banning him for no reason. | ||
| If that's not true, then Milo should sue for defamation, for libel, saying they issued this statement to the press. | ||
| It's not true. | ||
| Could you imagine if they started being like, we're going to ban this person for no reason. | ||
| They do. | ||
| But if that was their public statement, if they had to say that, or it was defamation, this person we're banning for no reason. | ||
| What if, like, they run out of people to ban because they've just gotten rid of all their political opponents, but, like, the Twitter CEOs just, they still need blood, and so they just, like, start picking random accounts to be sacrificed every year as tribute, and they just, like, just some dude named Greg, they're just, like, tweeting his, like, he's just, like, he's just, like, tweeting benign stuff, and they're, like, your account has to go. | ||
| They just, like, will randomly grab people and remove them from the platform. | ||
| It's like decimation. | ||
| It's a power trip, man. | ||
| For tribal reasons, the left has to support it. | ||
| And so they all just like, clap. | ||
| Eliminate Greg. | ||
| Just in unison, they're like, goodbye Greg. | ||
| Greg is racist. | ||
| We just started cancelling people. | ||
| Like, people fall so in line with the narrative that you can't find anyone to cancel. | ||
| So they just have to randomly select people for cancelling. | ||
| And like, everyone's like wearing their like, cult hoods. | ||
| They're like, cancel Greg. | ||
| You have to clap. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| No, you have to snap. | ||
| Cancel Greg. | ||
| You have to snap. | ||
| Snap? | ||
| Clapping. | ||
| You remember? | ||
| Do jazz hands? | ||
| Clapping? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| You have to do jazz hands and you have to snap. | ||
| It's called a soy clap. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| It's a soy clap. | ||
| When you clap between words. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that? | |
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| I've seen that. | ||
| Cancel Greg. | ||
| But let me tell you, I have to be honest, that does make me appreciate someone's opinion more. | ||
| When they have claps between it, I'm like, this guy, he knows something that I don't. | ||
| What is the clapping thing and why do people do it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think it's just a cool guy thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm making noise. | |
| Or are they like singing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| You're being loud like, I think this thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I always imagine it like they're going like, Donald Trump has got to go. | |
| Like they're clapping along to the music, you know what I mean? | ||
| It could be. | ||
| I was guilty of it earlier. | ||
| I think when I was telling people to smash the like button, I was doing a little bit of a clap. | ||
| It just gets the people going. | ||
| Smash the like button! | ||
| And they do it because you clap and that means you have authority. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Clapping. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Yeah, clap on, clap off. | ||
| Please clap. | ||
| Please clap. | ||
| We could have had you all, it's all we had to do is clap, but now we don't have Jeb Bush. | ||
| Seamus. | ||
| Yes, sir? | ||
| Have you been following the news on Project Veritas? | ||
| No, I have not. | ||
| I know, I've been, I've been bad. | ||
| I've been behind. | ||
| I've been traveling so much lately, it's just... Sleeping under a rock, this guy! | ||
| I know, I know. | ||
| I really, I just haven't been sleeping is the thing. | ||
| That's the issue. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| So the story from Project Veritas. | ||
| They sued the New York Times, right? | ||
| Oh, snap. | ||
| And they won a major victory. | ||
| Really? | ||
| The case is not over. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| So I think James mentioned that there's only been, like, in the past 80 years, something like eight lawsuits that have made it past a motion to dismiss. | ||
| Here's what happens. | ||
| Wait, eight lawsuits against the New York Times. | ||
| There's something called anti-SLAPP, Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. | ||
| When you sue a prominent news organization or public figure, you have a, it's called an actual malice standard, meaning you had to have known what you said was false or what you wrote was false, which is almost impossible to do. | ||
| Very difficult. | ||
| I think we've talked about this before. | ||
| You really can't prove that somebody knew what they were saying. | ||
| How do you read their mind? | ||
| It's really difficult to prove intent, in general. | ||
| However, if you can get past a motion to dismiss, you can go through their messages. | ||
| And you can put them under oath, which Veritas now will be able to do. | ||
| Oh boy! | ||
| They didn't clear their inboxes at the New York Times, I hope! | ||
| They've been instructed to preserve all data and communications. | ||
| Did they smash their cell phones with hammers and delete all 30,000 emails? | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Do you want to know what the best part about this lawsuit is? | ||
| The defense the New York Times had to get James O'Keefe's lawsuit dismissed was that their factual news articles are actually unverifiable opinions. | ||
| Really? | ||
| So they said the quiet part loud? | ||
| I love it! | ||
| It was a defense. | ||
| They basically said, when we called Project Veritas deceptive, and, you know, said these things about him, those were just our writers' unverifiable opinions and are thus not actionable. | ||
| And the judge said, seems to me that if you're stating something is a factual news piece, but your reporters interject their opinions, you should be required to tell people it was an opinion piece. | ||
| But wait, Tim, if it's the opposite of Fact news. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| What's that called? | ||
| Opinion of the opposite fate. | ||
| There's another fake word fake, fake, some kind of fake news, fake news, which has been faked. | ||
| What is unbelievable CNN up? | ||
| I never thought I'd live to see the day. | ||
| I know this, this, no, this is serious. | ||
| I mean, project Veritas may, may if they win and I think they, they will based on this preliminary ruling. | ||
| It sounds really good. | ||
| This could set precedent that could last for a hundred years. | ||
| That would be beautiful. | ||
| Yeah, I really did not, I did not agree with, um... No, never mind, sorry, I was about to make a comment about the New York Times. | ||
| Oh, this is New York Times, or is this CNN? | ||
| Sorry, I'm all over the place right now. | ||
| Yeah, I didn't agree with New York Times, uh, you know, opinion pieces on the, uh, Holodomor, either. | ||
| Really weird, going back a long time. | ||
| Oh, those opinion pieces, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, those opinion pieces were pretty bad. | ||
| That they got Pulitzer Prizes for? | ||
| For their opinions? | ||
| The Pulitzer Prize in opinion, sorry. | ||
| So, the way the news has typically worked, and I've talked to lawyers about lawsuits, is they say, Tim, I'm sorry they smeared you, there's nothing you can do, it's an opinion. | ||
| And I was like, so you mean to tell me, if someone writes an article and says like, Ian is, you know, far right or whatever, They can publish that in a news article and just say, Ian Crossland, a far-right commenter, even though there's no factual basis to that, and they're like, it's their opinion. | ||
| And I was like, hold on. | ||
| If a news organization is claiming they're reporting facts, doesn't matter. | ||
| That phrase is an opinion. | ||
| And I'm like, how is this the way things work? | ||
| Veritas sues, and the judge said, if it's a fact-based news story, stands to reason, you have to tell people if it's actually an opinion piece when you put opinions in it. | ||
| That changes the whole game. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, like, if they were to say something which is objectively verifiable, so if they were to say, like, Seamus Coghlan has an IQ below 85 and I sued, well, they would win because that's actually true. | ||
| But, um, if they make, so I'm curious, if they make objective comments about a person beyond far right or far left, right? | ||
| Because these terms can be used any way you want to use them. | ||
| Where is the line drawn with opinion? | ||
| So, for example, if you were to say something like that, like, this person is stupid, or something where there's a set standard, though, where you made a comment about someone's IQ but in a disparaging way, but that's something that could actually be verified. | ||
| Would that be opinion, or have you sort of trespassed into the area of fact? | ||
| It's actually really crazy what constitutes opinion and what constitutes fact. | ||
| So saying, like, Seamus Coghlan did a backflip, you know, off Tim's deck to the ground. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You did something that's a fact. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| If I said something like, Seamus Coghlan cheated at a game of chess, that's an opinion. | ||
| But hold on a second. | ||
| There are objective standards for whether a person cheats at chess, no? | ||
| First of all, I don't know how to play, right? | ||
| So you know that I cheated. | ||
| I shouldn't say necessarily it's an opinion. | ||
| It's arguable. | ||
| So I went through this with a lawyer over a really old piece, and it's basically like, well, what does cheated mean? | ||
| Define cheated. | ||
| Like, broke the rules. | ||
| Or changed the rules to benefit himself. | ||
| Or, in some way, took an action unbecoming of the traditional... It's like... White supremacist. | ||
| Define white supremacist. | ||
| I would say Trump supporter. | ||
| So if you call someone a white supremacist, it's actually a non-actionable opinion. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, so I knew that that was true with labels like extremist. | ||
| I was unaware that calling someone a white supremacist is just a matter... I knew it was often times just used as an opinion and no one was really using an objective definition, but my understanding is that's an actual label. | ||
| Here's the issue. | ||
| Or like, far right. | ||
| Dude, I'm so old, I remember when you had to be conservative in order to be considered far right. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, there was an article that came out a while ago, and I was talking to a lawyer about it. | ||
| They called someone a white supremacist, and they said, define white supremacist. | ||
| And I said, well, I believe the academic definition is an individual who believes the white race is superior. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | |
| That's not the academic definition. | ||
| What? | ||
| The academic definition is about whiteness and privilege. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That's college universities. | ||
| They say white supremacy is the structure of dominant racial hierarchies in society, which could include Asians or whatever. | ||
| And so they change the definition. | ||
| So if you go into court and say, Your Honor, he called me this and it's verifiably false, the individual will say, no, look, here's how we define it. | ||
| Here's how everyone believes it. | ||
| And because the media accepts the alternate definition, opinion. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Unverifiable opinion. | ||
| And then of course, yeah, they're not required to define their terms. | ||
| If I was like Seamus Coghlan, whose cartoons bore millions of people a month, would that be an opinion? | ||
| Well, that's a fact. | ||
| Everybody just watches and they just have their eyes half closed. | ||
| That was anodyne enough for a like, and then they'll hit the like button. | ||
| But if I'm like Seamus Coghlan, who's white, who's racial supremacy... Who's white skin. | ||
| Then that's a fact? | ||
| Or that's also... No, it's an opinion. | ||
| No, if you call me white skin, that's just an opinion. | ||
| A statement of fact would be Ian Crosland threw a baseball at a baseball game. | ||
| Oh, and it was either true or false. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But the other ones are... Ian Crosland has a weak, sissy arm, is an opinion. | ||
| Ian Crossland, who has a weak sissy arm, threw a pathetic pitch at a baseball game. | ||
| All opinions. | ||
| Unless you didn't actually throw the baseball. | ||
| It's just it's crazy that shops so I want to avoid getting into getting into | ||
| dangerous territory with YouTube because I want to make sure this is a | ||
| conversation people can hear but saying someone did something isn't always | ||
| statement of fact which is weird Really? | ||
| Like saying Ian Crosland cheated at a game of Magic the Gathering could be opinion. | ||
| Could be. | ||
| That's dangerous. Could be. So if you were like you got caught and everyone saw you sliding cards in your deck or | ||
| something Or I could be like I saw him shuffle that one way and I say | ||
| in my expert opinion That was a cheating move or for instance, there's a there's | ||
| a move in magic. This is a good example It's a deck game where you shuffle cards, right? | ||
| For those that aren't familiar. | ||
| There was something going on where people would... So you can shuffle your opponent's deck to prevent them from cheating. | ||
| You can cut their deck. | ||
| So pros would hand their deck to the other player, the other player would shuffle it and hand it back. | ||
| There was one thing people would do where they would shuffle it but then keep the last card and throw it on top of the deck. | ||
| And they would see the bottom card was in fact a not good card. | ||
| Then the next turn the player would draw the bad card. | ||
| And so they said that was cheating. | ||
| Others argued that's not cheating. | ||
| You can cut the deck any way you want. | ||
| Information that's revealed because the card is visible is not. | ||
| This is where the problem comes in. | ||
| But you would actually so but it would only be opinion if that was what you were referring to as cheating if you were | ||
| Referring to something as cheating which is objectively agreed upon by everyone who plays the game as being against | ||
| the rules Then it would be a statement of fact | ||
| No This is where the problem comes in that apparently | ||
| Opinion or fact has a lot to do with whether or not large large enough amounts of people agree with a certain | ||
| definition Interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Right, so if I said, you know, like what's something everyone agrees with? | ||
| If a name you could call somebody that meant something objective to every person, | ||
| which is hard to find. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Ian Crossland is a X. | ||
| And everyone's like, oh, an X is very clearly this thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Then it would be like, well, if he's not, then you made that up. | ||
| The problem is, not everyone agrees on what things are, which makes it weird. | ||
| Honey is sweet. | ||
| And that could be a fact, but not everyone's gonna taste sweetness when they taste honey. | ||
| That, I think, would be a fact. | ||
| Because of the high sugar content. | ||
| There's so many people. | ||
| But think about people saying things like male and female don't exist. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, that is objectively not, that is an anti-factual statement. | ||
| That's just, that is fake news. | ||
| That's the problem. | ||
| But of course, but yeah, I agree that generally it's, it's a, it's a matter of consensus. | ||
| It shouldn't be. | ||
| So like, yes, practically speaking, I mean, there are facts, there are moral truths, which are objective, but we operate in a culture where many people believe many different things. | ||
| And so of course there, we don't have the sort of thing like hegemonic narrative that we might have surrounding gender that we did in a time where things made a little bit more sense with respect to our sexual politics. | ||
| This is interesting. | ||
| Think about religion. | ||
| It's a really good, really good, good context. | ||
| Like, uh, how, how, how, how is the Pope defined? | ||
| Like in terms of his position? | ||
| Yeah, he's the vicar of Christ. | ||
| So imagine someone who's not religious would say, that's, that's fake. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's not true. | |
| That's not true. | ||
| That's fake. | ||
| So then how could you prove defamation based on that? | ||
| So, but here's where you do get into a matter of fact. | ||
| So, if you were to say, like, if a non-religious person is to say that, like, they don't believe the Pope is, you know, the successor of Peter and Christ's vicar on earth, that's one thing. | ||
| But then if they were to say, like, Catholics do not teach that the Pope is Christ's vicar. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now you're talking about something that, like, we can—the first—I believe it is a fact that the Pope is Christ's vicar on earth, but if we're getting into something that everyone agrees is factual, you just look at what the Church teaches, and if you're saying the Church teaches X when it objectively teaches Y, then you are lying. | ||
| And so this is something that happened, like, Joe Biden was repeatedly referred to—I've said this before on the show—but he was repeatedly referred to by the media as a practicing Catholic. | ||
| That's a great point. | ||
| That's exactly it. | ||
| does not meet the criteria for what is considered a practicing Catholic based | ||
| on the definition that the Catholic Church sets because one of the | ||
| conditions is you have to give full assent to Catholic teaching, which Joe | ||
| Biden objectively does not. | ||
| But in the eyes of a non-Catholic, he does enough. | ||
| And they're like, oh, it seems like he's practicing. | ||
| They don't even know what the word practicing means. | ||
| The word practicing Catholic means exactly, but practicing Catholic. | ||
| So if they were to say like, he is a devout person or holy man, well, those | ||
| are, those are more subjective, but practicing Catholic is a technical term. | ||
| It's not a subjective label of identity. | ||
| Now what if what if someone said in an article Ian Crossland comma who is objectively factually the Antichrist comma was seen shopping for a new pair of jeans today. | ||
| Total opinion. | ||
| Yeah, well, yes. | ||
| It's a faith-based thing. | ||
| They can't say your lines. | ||
| So then here's the question, though. | ||
| Weird stuff. | ||
| Are you allowed to throw around words like, objectively, if you're acknowledging that you're only speaking an opinion? | ||
| You are. | ||
| What? | ||
| It's the weirdest thing. | ||
| So I would say, like, Ian is objectively a white supremacist. | ||
| That's just opinion. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because define white supremacist. | ||
| I told you, Trump voter. | ||
| If you have a critical race theory definition of white supremacist, then yes, Ian is. | ||
| New facts emerged showing that I think Tim's a big jerk. | ||
| That's an opinion! | ||
| And of course, the trade-off that they have to come to terms with, but won't, is that when words become so subjectively defined, they no longer carry the same weight. | ||
| So for years and years and years, the word racist was thrown around like it was nothing, and then probably around the time the 2016 election came around, and this is not an original observation, other people have said this, They realized that the word racist just wasn't cutting it anymore. | ||
| So you'll notice like it was right around 2017 when they started calling everyone white supremacist instead because it's a much more objective sounding term than racist and also it's one that can only apply to white people or people who are in favor of this structure of whiteness or whatever you would call it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And now that seems to have lost all meaning so I think the next term they've sort of moved towards is incitement to | ||
| violence, right? | ||
| Like oh if you agree with what Trump said or did or you promote his movement that is incitement towards violence | ||
| And that's something they've sort of been doing for a long time critical | ||
| Theorists have done this Oh, if you disagree with trans ideology, then you are inciting violence against trans people because hate crimes occur against them, and that's the result of the fact that you're creating a culture of hatred, etc. | ||
| But it's so easy to make that argument for any group of people. | ||
| For example, I could say, well, veterans have a very high suicide rate, so, you know, criticizing U.S. | ||
| foreign policy probably makes a lot of them feel horrible about their experience overseas, so you're contributing to their suicide rate. | ||
| You can play these same games with any group you want. | ||
| So imagine a journalist emails you and they're like, hey, Seamus, we want to just get some some comments from you real quick about the story we're working on. | ||
| Delete is what I do. | ||
| Just a real quick question. | ||
| Would you be in favor of, you know, say people pooling their resources to try and improve technology towards newer, cooler energy tech like fusion? | ||
| Seamus supports the Green New Deal. | ||
| And then they would write, hold on. | ||
| You're like, oh, that sounds good. | ||
| Then they would write, Seamus Coughlin, a proponent of the Green New Deal, and you would say, that's not true. | ||
| I never supported that. | ||
| We asked him in email if he was in favor of supporting Green New Technology. | ||
| He said, yes. | ||
| So we call them a proponent of the Green New Deal. | ||
| Which to be fair, that is the one left-wing policy I do support. | ||
| We can't afford not to have a Green New Deal right now. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| Now here's the best part. | ||
| Because you just said that, you can never sue someone who claims you're a proponent of the Green New Deal. | ||
| Even though I'm just hashtag JK-ing? | ||
| Doesn't matter. | ||
| Really? | ||
| So that does not hold up in a court of law? | ||
| Joke's on you. | ||
| Dude, this is a new meme. | ||
| If somebody wrote, Seamus Coghlan of Freedom Tunes, who is a proponent of the Green New Deal, said today that blah blah blah, if you sued, they would show that clip where you said, it's the one thing I actually agree on, and the judge is gonna be like, I think a reasonable person can conclude you were joking, but you can't hold them responsible for not understanding that. | ||
| You can't expect the media to be reasonable people, so we're gonna let them off the hook here. | ||
| There's a possibility that they'll say a reasonable person would have understood the joke and thus they shouldn't have, but I think actually a reasonable judge would say, you can't just assume someone understands your intent. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
| If you say something and someone takes it literally... So everything everyone has ever joked about really could just be literal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| And the issue then becomes cultural enforcement as to whether or not you hold institutions credible based on what they say. | ||
| So the question is, what if I'm playing a character in a movie? | ||
| Does Jeff Goldblum actually believe life will find a way? | ||
| So, the issue then goes to the actual malice standard. | ||
| If there's a clip of you, and you say something like, the Green New Deal is the best! | ||
| I absolutely am in favor of this, and it turned out to be a... Tim, now you can say it about you too! | ||
| Oh, of course, but I... | ||
| I like the real Green New Deal, not the AOC Green New Deal, which is a cult manifesto. | ||
| So I actually do like the idea of infrastructure investment and new technologies. | ||
| I don't like AOC's version, which is some kind of weird cult manifesto about equity and healthcare and paying people who don't want to work. | ||
| That's garbage nonsense. | ||
| But before the Green New... Now we're getting to the Green New Deal. | ||
| Well, she's the boss, dude. | ||
| She's the boss. | ||
| So you come up with your own plan, and until then, listen. | ||
| If someone writes a story about you saying you support the Green New Deal, and they see a clip from a movie of you saying it, You can't prove actual malice because they'll say look I | ||
| realize after the fact he doesn't but at the time I genuinely thought it was true based on what I what if you | ||
| kill someone a movie and they say a known murderer We're actually not that far from that happening though is | ||
|
unidentified
|
the problem What about, um... Actual malice standard! | |
| Oh, come on! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Something's wrong. | |
| You have to prove they knew the- I know! | ||
| So, you have- They could have just gotten the clip. | ||
| So, I'm sure there are some lawyers who might have, like, listen, this is mostly just based off my experience. | ||
| I'm not a lawyer. | ||
| My understanding is, the challenge is proving actual malice. | ||
| Meaning, if Ian says Seamus did something, Seamus has to prove Ian knew beforehand what he was saying was false. | ||
| If someone says, here's the clip we saw of Seamus shooting a rocket launcher into a building full of nuns, then people would be like, well, a reasonable person might conclude that didn't happen. | ||
| Well, hold on. | ||
| But can we now say, Tim Pool, who falsely accused Seamus of shooting a rocket launcher into a group of nuns earlier this week, he calls himself a journalist and he spread this fake news. | ||
| So what about Ed Norton? | ||
| Can we say that he is a white supremacist? | ||
| You can call anyone a white supremacist, I guess, but could you call him a neo-Nazi? | ||
| Is neo-Nazi an actual defined term? | ||
| Opinion. | ||
| Nazi opinion what if you say like curb-stomp somebody killed them because he did it in a movie | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think you chose to portray a known Nazi or what if you don't? | |
| What do you have to say? | ||
| Here's what it ultimately comes down to, whether or not the judge thinks you're being reasonable or absurd. | ||
| The problem is, with Times v. Sullivan, you have an actual malice standard, which means knowing that what you're saying is false. | ||
| That's a really hard thing to prove. | ||
| Yes, extremely difficult. | ||
| So the New York Times fought Project Veritas. | ||
| In a ridiculous way, saying, our fact-based news, it was actually unverifiable opinion and thus is not actionable. | ||
| And the judge was like, yo, this is not an opinion section. | ||
| So what you're saying is taken as fact by most people. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| This is the importance of the Veritas ruling. | ||
| They're basically saying, your opinions are purported as facts because of the New York Times. | ||
| Therefore, you lose the protections of the opinion standard. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| But the NYT, of course, is saying, actually, we are, as a matter of fact, opinion journalists, no? | ||
| That was their defense, and then the judge responded. | ||
| The New York Times responded that their fact-based news article about Veritas was actually unverifiable opinion. | ||
| And the judge then said, Okay. | ||
| While typically, opinions, you can't sue for someone's opinion, you put them in a fact-based news article. | ||
| If I say, so this is where it gets interesting, this article is 100% fact. | ||
| Ian Crossland is a lying thief. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Then they can be like, that's actually your opinion. | ||
| If I said this is my opinion, Ian Crossland is a lying thief. | ||
| Then they can't sue me. | ||
| And if you do a fact-based article with 99% facts and then one opinion, the entire article becomes an opinion piece? | ||
| And it must be labeled as such. | ||
| So this is why Veritas is so important. | ||
| Because in the past, when I've talked about libel suits, every lawyer says, it's an opinion you can't sue. | ||
| And I'm like, they straight up accused me of doing a thing. | ||
| No, it's an opinion you can't defend. | ||
| They said they murdered orphans. | ||
| But you can't define some of these terms like causing hurt or violence or incitement. | ||
| All of these things are interpretable. | ||
| So you can't win. | ||
| With this new ruling, it changes the game. | ||
| Veritas opened the door. | ||
| So here's a question. | ||
| You mentioned that the article can be 99% fact-based. | ||
| And if it's one- like Snopes would sign off on all of it. | ||
| But if there's one part which is opinion, now the whole thing is an opinion piece. | ||
| But- Has to be labeled opinion. | ||
| But, okay, but what if the opinion is really- like what if you're listing facts and then at the end you're like, yes, this did happen, there was this scandal with the Biden administration, blah blah blah, and then at the end you're like, I enjoy grapes. | ||
| They taste good. | ||
| And it's an obvious opinion, or like if at some point in the article something comes up which is your opinion, but isn't quite related. | ||
| Maybe you're setting up the story, but everything else is fact-based. | ||
| Now the whole thing is an opinion piece, and I can say whatever I want? | ||
| Fascinating. | ||
| Well, hold on. | ||
| You can't say things you know to be false. | ||
| Are my cartoons opinion? | ||
| Or did those happen? | ||
| Dude, you make a good point. | ||
| Because I'm pretty tired right now. | ||
| Just like movies. | ||
| Was Joe Biden, what was your latest one? | ||
| Joe Biden stutter. | ||
| Please check that out if you're watching. | ||
| So I don't know if you guys know this, but Joe Biden, it's not that his brain isn't functioning well and he's not fit to be the leader of the free world. | ||
| He actually has a stutter because that's how stuttering works. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I did a video on Joe Biden's speech therapy class. | ||
| I think you guys are really going to enjoy it. | ||
| He gets the stutter worked out. | ||
| It's, it's, it's just a gut busting laugh fest. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Laugh fest from start to end. | ||
| I did a video of him in math class as well. | ||
| You know, I think, I think the funniest thing to like in terms of Biden is talking about putting the razor blade in the barrel. | ||
| That's the best. | ||
| Tim and I have a bit that we're, I don't want to spoil it, but we have, we're probably gonna do a freedom tune based on another one. | ||
| It was too good. | ||
| Before the show, we were talking about Biden as we always do. | ||
| My opinion is it was a good idea. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Hey, you made a great point about movies and how if an actor does something in a movie, it doesn't mean that they did it in real life because this is a TV show. | ||
| Whether you want to, I don't know if people realize or not, we're on TV right now doing characters on a show. | ||
| This is not how I am when we sit around a table and eat dinner. | ||
| We're elevated versions of ourselves. | ||
| So is all social media. | ||
| So if it was a movie clip of someone doing something, it would be reckless disregard. | ||
| But that was just your opinion when you said that malice is the standard, so really, you're not wrong, it was just your opinion. | ||
| Yeah exactly, it was my expert opinion. | ||
| I did not actually know it wasn't true, so it's not equitable. | ||
| My point is this is a TV show. | ||
| We've entered a new stage of art creation where social media is an art form. | ||
| We're becoming heightened artistic characters that we're creating and we're projecting. | ||
| So how can you prove any of this stuff is really who we are, what we say on social media? | ||
| Ian's not real. | ||
| He's an astral projection. | ||
| Figments of Jack's imagination. | ||
| He's an astral projection. | ||
| I have come here to warn you. | ||
| Be good to each other. | ||
| Now is the time. | ||
| We're fractals of the greater whole. | ||
| So I'm wondering... Interesting. | ||
| Is that a fact? | ||
| Let's get Snopes in here. | ||
| Are we fractals of the greater whole? | ||
| I would say no. | ||
| Let's see what Snopes has to say. | ||
| It's the holographic universe. | ||
| I would love Snopes to fact check. | ||
| Is Ian Crossland from Timcast IRL an astral projection of figment of Jack's imagination? | ||
| False! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Partly true! | |
| Although he is from the outer-verse and has inhabited the body. | ||
| He does have a physical form in this reality. | ||
| I don't know, has Snopes actually verified that Ian has physical form? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I'm in contact with them about that. | ||
| I wonder if we'll be able to prove that anyone that did anything on social media was not a character they created. | ||
| They weren't doing a bit. | ||
| My whole Twitter is a bit at this point. | ||
| My YouTube channel basically was. | ||
| I mean, I believed a lot of it, but I said it in a crazy character way. | ||
| That is an age-old defense though. | ||
| Like I was just kidding and sometimes people abuse that it's like you weren't kidding I but also it's hard to know because sometimes you'll make a really obvious joke people like can you believe he said that? | ||
| I was joking and they're like, dude, you're falling back and it was just a joke. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| I just don't care anymore I tweeted today is 4-5 Which will now be known as Trump Day in honor of the 45th president. | ||
| It got like a thousand tweets That is literally a joke. | ||
| I just thought it was funny because I do the dates for when I'm making playlists and I'm | ||
| like oh it's 4-5. | ||
| Oh 45. | ||
| It's Trump day. | ||
| And I'm like I'm tweeting that. | ||
| People are like, a lot of people are just laughing. | ||
| And then I tweeted, welcome to Twitter, enjoy your stay here. | ||
| So it's just, there are these people, I mentioned the hooping thing when Jack Posobiec posted the clip of George Floyd saying he was hooping. | ||
| I responded with the Urban Dictionary entry for what hooping is saying, don't forget to get your hooping mug. | ||
| It's a joke, the whole thing was a joke. | ||
| Because Urban Dictionary says it's, you know, shoving stuff up your bum. | ||
| Oh, gross. | ||
| But it says at the bottom, get your hooping mug. | ||
| On Urban Dictionary. | ||
| And then these people were like, Tim, you know, this is why people think the right is so racist. | ||
| Cause you know, they say things like this or whatever. | ||
| And then someone was like, Tim claims is from the hood, but doesn't know what hooping means. | ||
| And I'm like, no, it's a joke. | ||
| You like, you're the kind of people who thought my impeach the queen tweet was real. | ||
| This is what, so I don't even care. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Reckless disregard of the truth. | ||
| At this point, we have a faction of people who are so unable to empathize and understand humor. | ||
| How could the reckless disregard standard even hold? | ||
| Yeah, so I know these fellas at this publication called The Babylon Bee, and they're very, you know, like, they're handsome, but they're very slow, and I try to explain things to them. | ||
| No, they're both great, actually, but I'm not sure if you guys have heard, but Snopes has fact-checked them in the past. | ||
| That's been a really big problem. | ||
| Then what happens is they're demoted in the algorithm because they're considered to be fake news, even though it's obvious satire. | ||
| And people, I did a video on this a while ago, but They had this really bogus study where they said that some large percentage of conservatives believe that Babylon Bee headlines were factual. | ||
| But the way they arrived at that number is they took Babylon Bee headlines, removed them from the context of being published by a satirical outlet, and reworded them in a way to make them sound like they were serious. | ||
| So there was one headline and it was something like, The evidence against Russiagate was put there to test our faith. | ||
| It was like an obvious joke, right? | ||
| And it's a caricature of the creationist argument that fossils are put there to test our faith. | ||
| And they reworded it to be like, this media pundit said that his faith in Russiagate is unshakable and no evidence could change his mind. | ||
| It's like, okay, well, you've totally changed it. | ||
| So that's where it gets really dangerous with fact-checking and the fact that people Get a lot of leniency who actual journalists will get this leniency that comedians and satirists on the right won't get. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, like, the articles in question would say something like, you know, it was like, AOC stands atop her desk and proclaims her support for communism to much fanfare, then flags drop down and the Soviet anthem plays. | ||
| And then they would reword it to be like, AOC announces that she's forming the Communist Party. | ||
| And it's like, people would be like, oh wow, that sounds like real news. | ||
| But it was like, the actual context was absurdity. | ||
| They stripped out the absurdity to make it factual news that could be real. | ||
| Like, Seamus Coghlan goes for a walk with a dog, when the actual article was, Seamus Coghlan walks world's giant dog, you know, clipping a big red dog. | ||
| Clearly false. | ||
| And this is funny, so I was actually just going to pull up, I wrote this, it's been probably about two years, but it's probably been about two years, so I was pulling up the script on my Google Drive, so I can pull some of the examples up, but just to verify that it was just friendly ribbing, I just got an email from Ethan, so we don't actually hate each other, as I was checking. | ||
| No, no, I love those guys. | ||
| Great article. | ||
| They are, so basically they reworded, yeah so the article, it was yeah, CNN, God allowed the Mueller report to test our unshakable faith in collusion was reworded as CNN anchor Anderson Cooper said his belief that Trump colluded with Russia is unshakable, it will not change regardless of statements or evidence to the contrary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That actually sounds like something. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| And so they published this whole study about how people are buying into fake news as if it's fact, despite the fact that this is obvious satire and basically everyone knows it. | ||
| And so, yeah, it's extremely upsetting and it's totally one sided because it never happens the other way. | ||
| Well, I mean, again, even actual publications, like, well, let's not call New York Times an actual publication. | ||
| But people who purport to be telling the truth in a fact-based manner are given this leniency, or they are at least attempting to get the kind of leniency that satire websites on the right don't get. | ||
| I would say at this point, based on the ruling from this judge, that it is a fact that the New York Times injects opinions and masquerades as factual. | ||
| The New York Times masquerades as a fact-based news outlet, when in fact, it's publishing opinion pieces under the guise of fact. | ||
| So there's this guy. | ||
| I don't know if you guys know him. | ||
| He's like Michael Malice, Michael Malice, Michael Malice. | ||
| I think you guys might be friends with him. | ||
| He has said some things. | ||
| Malice. | ||
| He has said some things. | ||
| which suggests he's kind of doesn't like the new york times or uh anything sure about that yeah so | ||
| i would just look into it to what he's written about this stuff because he seems this guy this | ||
| michael malice guy saying he doesn't think nyt is that great so i would just shout out michael too | ||
| much michael malice michael malice That's why I tried to say his name wrong. | ||
| I was like, I can't keep... He was on the show last Thursday. | ||
| Yeah, he was. | ||
| He was great. | ||
| We literally, like, shout him out, like, three times a week. | ||
| He's very funny. | ||
| And also a writer. | ||
| His new book will be coming out soon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
| Now he gets another shout out. | ||
| Michael Malice! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright, alright. | |
| Let's go to Super Chats. | ||
| We love you, Michael. | ||
| Super Chats! | ||
| Uh, let's see. | ||
| So, as per usual, the YouTube... Oh, we got the tinfoil gorilla. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Did you guys see it? | ||
| It's in the chat. | ||
| It's pinned. | ||
| I finally put up the tinfoil gorilla thing. | ||
| It's the tinfoil gorilla shirt. | ||
| He's a gorilla. | ||
| It's got black tacks instead of white tacks, and he's wearing the tinfoil hat. | ||
| And, um, it's only going to be up for a little while. | ||
| So this is a limited edition. | ||
| We're going to do the tinfoil hat, because basically I decided We were wondering whether we would do the tinfoil hat. | ||
| And I was like, ah, let's just do the regular gorilla. | ||
| So we have the graphic. | ||
| And then I mentioned it. | ||
| I was like, we'll put it up at some point. | ||
| And then I never did. | ||
| And then I finally did. | ||
| So it's there now. | ||
| You can buy it. | ||
| And it will probably not be up for longer than like a week or two, just because I figured this won't be special. | ||
| So he's able to reflect electromagnetic frequency off of his head and protect his brain. | ||
| Theoretically. | ||
| No, no, because electromagnetic waves can actually go through your body and up your skull. | ||
| And then what it does is it actually makes it bounce around more. | ||
| Evolution. | ||
| Yeah, people don't realize that it actually creates a dome that, like a satellite dish, it captures the waves. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like it. | |
| So anyway, let's read some Super Chats. | ||
| We got one, but I can't read it. | ||
| People were thinking about your beanie then, just by the way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| I can't read the name because YouTube is blocking it, but they say, can't wait for you and B Tatum, only two I joined membership with. | ||
| That's gonna be a lot of fun. | ||
| Brandon Tatum? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Your mom says, who would win the fist fight, Joe Biden or Bill Clinton? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Seamus? | ||
| That's a tough one. | ||
| I mean, Bill's younger, right? | ||
| Good deal older. | ||
| I think, yeah, who is older at this point, actually? | ||
| Bill Clinton age. | ||
| Let's see if I get a factor in opinion. | ||
| Bill Clinton's 74. | ||
| And Joe Biden? | ||
|
unidentified
|
78. | |
| Yeah, I guess Joe Biden is older than me. | ||
| Bill Clinton would bop him one and win because he's got four years, man. | ||
| Joe, we're gonna put our fist up. | ||
| Yeah, I think that, I think, but it's hard because the last time I saw a picture of Bill Clinton, he looked like, neither of these men are in good shape. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I don't, I don't think the victory would exactly be impressive, but I think that Joe Biden would probably lose. | ||
| I don't think Joe, well, here's the thing. | ||
| So Joe, we know that Joe knows how to street fight, right? | ||
| Like he has a razor, he puts it in a rain barrel, bangs it on the cement, gets it rusty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tenacity. | |
| brings i'm a rap this chain around your head right in bill wright would be | ||
| helping him uh... but but bill clinton is younger and has i think a little bit | ||
| more energy and also he could he survived being married to a recluse i | ||
| just i don't think that's an asset yeah i i think that he's uh... | ||
|
unidentified
|
i think he's probably got the edge here by this got the reach | |
| because one arms yeah Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, but Bill's probably got some crazy Kama Sutra Kung Fu or something, you know what I mean? | ||
| He's ready to tangle. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's been doing it his whole life. | ||
| He'll be like, let me show you how I do it, Bill! | ||
| Since college. | ||
| I mean, Joe! | ||
| Let's go, let's get in a fight! | ||
| Let me show you how I do it! | ||
| My hair and legs! | ||
| Now, of course, this is factual and not opinion-based, so you can quote me on the note. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| That was the way you phrased it. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Logan Sisko says, IRL crew, Crowder made me think last week. | ||
| Why is the left saying only cops need guns, but also ACAB? | ||
| Also, Portnoy Pool 2024. | ||
| I like that ticket. | ||
| I don't know about that one. | ||
| Dave's cool, though, but I'm not running for office. | ||
| Yeah, because there's no logic. | ||
| There's only tribalism. | ||
| Listen, if you're like, the people here I believe all operate on principles. | ||
| Where it's like, I don't care about which tribe it is, I care about whether it's right or wrong and we'll like, you know, make things better. | ||
| And then you have some people who are just like, I wanna win! | ||
| And I'm just gonna be on the side of the winner. | ||
| So, they're simultaneously like, only the cops should have guns! | ||
| Only the social workers should have guns too. | ||
| That's right, that's right, yeah. | ||
| They're basically cops. | ||
| That's the social worker thing is so funny because you would just end up creating a two-tier system which would in practice end up being way more racist because the phone calls the social workers would probably be more likely to happen in neighborhoods where you have like these Karens calling the police on everyone and they'd send social workers out. | ||
| So it would be it would be areas where there's less violent crime getting a lot of the social workers and you'd create sort of like a two-tier system where impoverished neighborhoods were policed by actual cops and like wealthier neighborhoods and white neighborhoods just got these cushy social workers. | ||
| Have you done a cartoon on the social workers responding to crimes? | ||
| I have not. | ||
| That might be something, that might be fun. | ||
| There's like a city burning down in a violent fire and there's like a criminal, he's holding people hostage. | ||
| CALL THE SOCIAL WORKER! | ||
| Alright, FishB84U says, Yes, Seamus, I love Freedom Tunes. | ||
| Did a binge watch on the debunkers earlier today. | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Keep watching this. | ||
| We're going to be producing more. | ||
| We had a hiccup with the production of one that I was hoping to release this month, but we might get it out later. | ||
| They've been a lot of fun, and I enjoy making them. | ||
| So thank you so much. | ||
| QuietGuitaristFan says, should make a shirt with Ian that says, you could make that out of graphene. | ||
| Also, correction from Friday, Christ was crucified on Friday and died on Friday. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| Yes, yeah. | ||
| Good Friday. | ||
| Oh wow. | ||
| You can make a lot of stuff out of graphene. | ||
| That's true, yeah. | ||
| Ian's Minute of Graphene. | ||
| It might not be wrong. | ||
| We are carbon, actually. | ||
| All right, Chris Blank Production says, will you be posting your segments from your other channels on your website soon? | ||
| They're there already. | ||
| Just at the bottom. | ||
| You scroll down and the other segments are actually there. | ||
| So it's the last guy's chat. | ||
| So Jesus was crucified and died within the same day. | ||
| I thought he hung there for days. | ||
| No, no, he died. | ||
| So it was common for people who were victims of crucifixion to hang there for days, but Jesus did not. | ||
| He died the same day. | ||
| They were particularly brutal to him in a way that they generally were not to people who they crucified. | ||
| So part of the punishment with crucifixion is that you would hang there and you would just have your face pecked off by crows. | ||
| It was horrible. | ||
| But no, he died quickly because of how harsh and brutal they were to him, and he gave up his spirit, and then they went and stabbed him. | ||
| Also, one thing they would do to speed the crucifixion up, which they didn't do to Jesus, but did to the two thieves on the cross next to him, is they would break the legs too, so that they would just go down and then suffocate. | ||
| Because when you're crucified, You have to prop yourself up to get oxygen into your lungs, and so you will die of asphyxiation once you get weak enough to just hang there, which is, you know, that's going beyond the unbelievably excruciating pain you're in. | ||
| And yeah, they would just come up and crack people's legs if they wanted to speed the process up, so they couldn't prop themselves up and get air. | ||
| It was prophesied they wouldn't break any bones. | ||
| Exactly, they wouldn't break any bones. | ||
| But they did pierce him through his heart, and yeah, water and blood came out. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| I don't like that. | ||
| Support policing in general. | ||
| We need it. | ||
| Tim I'm a cop, things have gone crazy and the environment we work in is very hostile | ||
| towards us. | ||
| The George Floyd trial will only cause more problems for us all. | ||

I don't like that. | |
| Support policing in general, we need it. | ||
| But of course, it's a big conversation. | ||
| Alla Gaming Channel says, Hey man, say man stop hating on Bible man. | ||
| That's my guy. | ||
| It took me this long to say this because I'm never able to catch the stream. | ||
| Stop hating on Bibleman. | ||
| Was that a show? | ||
| Do you know who Bibleman is? | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| I never saw it, but I've seen little bits and pieces. | ||
| This was like, wait, was Bibleman, was this live action or was this animated? | ||
| This is animated, right? | ||
| So this is the 90s. | ||
| It was a 3D thing. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I'm for that. | ||
| I never saw any of it, but I definitely. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Sekantia says, okay, here's 50 from Allie. | ||
| Now read it. | ||
| How about LEO YouTubers, law enforcement officer YouTubers, like Donut Operator, Officer 401, Angry Cops, or Mike the Cop, an experienced POV for LEO and some good input on cops among all this LEO tension and misconception as an excellent idea. | ||
| I'm familiar with Donut Operator. | ||
| I'm not familiar with the others, but I'd love- How about Brandon Tatum? | ||
| What's up? | ||
| How about Brandon Tatum? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| But I think Donut Operator would be cool too. | ||
| I've seen his videos. | ||
| Yeah, I've seen some of their stuff. | ||
| I think Mike the Cop isn't a cop anymore though, right? | ||
| But he's still a law enforcement YouTuber. | ||
| Aren't they all? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Are they all retired? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I just imagine, I mean, who would want to do that job anymore? | ||
| I just like Donut Operator. | ||
| It's a great name. | ||

| Troy Dunham says, Hey Seamus, love your channel. | ||
| What is your take on the media blackout of the April 2nd insurrection on the Capitol? | ||
| Oh, I'm not familiar. | ||
| The media was so blacked out that I didn't even get a word on it. | ||
| But God bless you. | ||
| I'm glad you support my work and appreciate it. | ||
| That was the Farrakhan guy. | ||
| Yeah, that was the Farrakhan guy. | ||
| Also a supporter of Louis Farrakhan. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| Why would the media talk about that? | ||
| Why are you not talking about it? | ||
| Insurrection? | ||
| Isn't that a threat to our democracy? | ||
| Weird. | ||
| This is very dangerous to our democracy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, Crimson7 says, you guys are awesome. | ||

| We'll check it out. | ||
| Find someone to replace Seamus. | ||
| Are you just done with me through with me? | ||
| Yeah, same breath. | ||
| He's like, now Seamus is great, but let me tell you about this other guy. | ||
| Hey, Fat Freddy's Cat says, Tim, check out the opening of the new skate park in Des Moines, Iowa. | ||

| I didn't pick that name, guys. | ||
| Sounds like TimCast.com is anti-Trevor. | ||
| I'm sorry, Trevor. | ||
| Somebody super chatted saying Trevor sucks. | ||
| It was just like as a general. | ||
| And so we started joking like Trevor's the worst. | ||
| Dude, I like Trevor. | ||

Alright, alright. | |
| Jack Daw says, I would like to file a complaint over our pillow. | ||
| The quality was too high. | ||
| I bought... | ||
| I bought the one off Teespring as a gag for a friend. | ||
| Come to find out it's decent. | ||
| What the hell? | ||
| I thought I was buying burlap and peanuts. | ||
| Here's the thing, what keeps you up isn't the pillow, it's the emptiness in your stomach under communism. | ||
| The Teespring version was just the joke graphic, and then I decided to make the burlap sack with packing peanuts. | ||
| Which, we're gonna have to figure that one out, how to get it out. | ||
| The idea was to do something with Ryan Long where we would make this commercial. | ||
| But I think... | ||
| I don't know if the good pillow from David Hogg is actually going to happen. | ||
| And we need it to because the burlap is on standby. | ||
| We do have them. | ||
| Have you seen our pillow? | ||
| I saw one. | ||
| It was actually in the room that I am crashing in. | ||
| It was right there. | ||
| I was very offended. | ||
| I got rid of it. | ||
|

I was like, I can't sleep on this pillow. | |
| It's got the fist holding the pillow. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Zachariah Kitzman says, Cop here. | ||
| Most policies are open-ended to leave liability on the officer and not the department. | ||
| I.e. | ||
| if a school shooting happens, the department can't mandate I go in because if I'm in, if I'm injured, it's on them. | ||
| And then the cop gets sued for not going in. | ||
| Isn't that amazing? | ||
| All right, let's see where we're at. | ||
| Ryan M. Prower says, Just got out of the military, but a week before I did, we went through that extremism training. | ||
| I don't have enough room to summarize it here, but it was unnerving how the brief went and what the message was. | ||
| I just wanted to let... And then it cuts off right there. | ||
| They found him. | ||
| They found him. | ||
| They were like, stop typing that! | ||
| You're coming back! | ||
| Can't they make you re-enlist? | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| Like if you're in for four years and you leave, they can reactivate you and force you to come back? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I don't know how that works. | ||
| Pretty sure that's true. | ||
| I think I've heard of that. | ||
| Yeah, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| I mean, they can draft people. | ||
| They haven't done it in a long time, but it wouldn't completely shock me. | ||
| They could pull people back in. | ||
| I think it depends on your skill set. | ||
| Nicholas Montiel says, last week a super chat said John the Baptist wrote the book of Revelation. | ||
| It was written by the Apostle John when he was in exile on Patmos. | ||
| Love you all. | ||
| Stoicism episode. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Ryan Holiday. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Do you know who wrote Revelation? | ||
| John was not the Baptist. | ||
| It was a different John. | ||
| John of Atmos. | ||
| Is that what his name was? | ||
| Patmos. | ||
| Patmos. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's Apostle John when he was in exile on Patmos. | ||
| And that's not the Baptist? | ||
| No, it's a different one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Seamus, do you think that the vaccine passport is the Mark of the Beast? | ||
| Like Marjorie Taylor Greene? | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| The Mark of the Beast, like, low-church Protestants as a group, not always. | ||
| I love them. | ||
| Some of them are super good people. | ||
| I love them, but often we'll just kind of call anything the mark of the beast. | ||
| So basically everything that comes out. | ||
| The Babylon Bee also had a very funny article. | ||
| It's like the vaccine passport can now be like, like they're now offering the vaccine passport like on your hand or forehead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's funny. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, people, there are so many things that people have said are the mark of the beast, I just tend to say, you know, I don't think so. | ||
| What do you think is the mark of the beast, Super Chat? | ||
| Believe it or not, I don't think it's the end of times. | ||
| I think that's a typical view people take. | ||
| Everyone sort of thinks their generation is the last one. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| And also, like scripture says, no one knows the day nor the hour. | ||
| And it's very well possible that this is the end of the West as we know it, or the end of America, but it's not the end times. | ||
| There hasn't been worldwide apostasy. | ||
| There's been quite a lot of apostasy in the West, but in Africa and even in China, the church is growing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Kiwi2113 says, love it when Ian brings up Dune. | ||
| It is my ultimate favorite series. | ||
| It's an interesting look behind the curtain of government in space. | ||
| It was so good. | ||
| I read it when I worked at Ground Zero. | ||
| I would do 6 p.m. | ||
| to 6 a.m. | ||
| shifts Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and had a lot of time on my hands doing security. | ||
| And man, that book kept my attention. | ||
| Eve Welcome says, Ian, you're adorable. | ||
| If I wasn't happily married, dot, dot, dot, wink. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Eve! | |
| Well, Eve, you shouldn't really be talking about people that way. | ||
| If you are happily married, please don't. | ||
| She says, fellow Dune nerds unite. | ||
| Or if you're unhappy, even if you're unhappily married, you shouldn't talk about people like that. | ||
| You should show your husband Dune. | ||
| She says, bless the maker and his water. | ||
| Bye, lol, kayfa. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| I think that's from Dude. | ||
| I don't know. | ||

|
I read it. | |
| By the way, I was not insinuating that she's not happily married. | ||
| Just please don't. | ||
| Even if you're unhappily married, don't say emotionally unfaithful things. | ||
| Talbot Link says, y'all need to read Machiavelli's Art of War. | ||
| Very info-dense, two-part conversation that discusses a great many structures and behaviors can work as a short play. | ||
| It'll blow Ian's mind. | ||
| I didn't know Machiavelli did an Art of War. | ||
| I saw you have Art of War on your desk downstairs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Great. | ||
| I think that might be my little Art of War. | ||
| Someone gave it to me. | ||
| I think Tiffany gave it to me. | ||
| Tim's favorite book. | ||
| He's always plugging it. | ||
| He's always telling me, read Art of War. | ||
| I still haven't read it. | ||
| Have you read through it yet? | ||
| No. | ||
| Have you ever heard that story about that Chinese general who was completely outnumbered and had very little resources? | ||
| So he opened the gates to his fortress, climbed on top of the wall and started playing a lute or something. | ||
| And then when the enemy's army showed up, they were like, It's a trap! | ||
| Retreat now, man! | ||
| He's one of my heroes. | ||
| He was Lubez. | ||
| He invented the crossbow, the repeating crossbow. | ||
| What else was he gonna do? | ||
| It's risky, but a lot of people would not do that. | ||
| It smelled like zoogilia. | ||
| They thought it was a trap, so they were on that. | ||
| When YouTube trumps to demonetize me, that's what I do. | ||
| Dude, he's one of my idols. | ||
| Historical idols, that guy. | ||
| He's known as a genius, genius strategist and philosopher and artist. | ||
| That's an awesome story. | ||
| He was a farmer. | ||
| That story's great. | ||
| from public life and did not want to join and they sought him out and had to | ||
| go visit him three they called him the sleeping dragon the people were like you | ||
| gotta find this guy and he went he kept appealing to him like please join me and | ||

trap yeah a genius That's right. | |
| I only read the first one. | ||
| And I'm fighting a sneeze right now. | ||
| seven book Dune series is amazing, truly great storytelling. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I only read the first one. | ||
| Ben Jammin says, remember when YouTube had five stars | ||
| out of likes and dislikes? | ||
| And I'm fighting a sneeze right now. | ||
| Oh, bless you. | ||
| I'm not gonna sneeze. | ||
| I have some tissues for you, Tim. | ||
| You can breathe out your mouth really slow. | ||
| So I, today I am taking over, I am standing in for Tim who has to sneeze right now. | ||
| Today's show we're gonna be talking about. | ||
| Normally I can fight it, but the sneeze got me. | ||
| Sorry, here's the thing. | ||
| I learned this recently. | ||
| I thought that everybody sneezed more easily when they were staring at light. | ||
| I know like staring into a light can induce sneezes for me, but for apparently that's not true for everybody. | ||
| Typically it's for people with light eyes. | ||
| Wow, okay. | ||
| So Tim, does like staring into the light help you sneeze or make you have to sneeze? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I have a theory about that. | ||
| So when you have like bacteria or fungus in your wind canal and you stare into light, the light kills it and then your body expels it. | ||
| I don't think that's true. | ||
| I think it just stimulates the nerve. | ||

That sounds like a New York Times opinion piece. | |
| Yeah, opinion, by the way. | ||
| Alright, I can't read Cyrillic, so I'll just read what they said. | ||
| E says, Dune is awesome. | ||
| Sci-fi TV series is a bit better than Lynch's movie, especially second installation. | ||
| Children of Dune that follows later books. | ||
| It shows that Paul, the protagonist of the first book, is not a hero of the story, but a villain. | ||
| Dude, did you guys see this new story from the New York Times? | ||
| About the Mario... This opinion piece? | ||
| The original Mario Bros. | ||
| found in a desk for over 35 years. | ||
| So 35 years ago, somebody bought an original Mario Bros. | ||
| NES and left it in their drawer and forgot about it for 35 years. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| They got busy. | ||
| They sold it for, I think, like $660,000. | ||
| What? | ||
| Oh, in the box? | ||
| Yeah, the best part. | ||
| No, sealed, shrink-wrapped and everything. | ||
| The best part was how the New York Times had to explain what the game was. | ||
| And they say, according to the instruction booklet, It is a game about two brothers, Mario and Luigi, who are | ||
| attempting to rescue Princess Toadstool after Bowser and his turtle army invaded the Mushroom | ||
| Kingdom, turning the people into bricks. | ||
| I didn't know that happened. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so Mario- Fake news. That's more NYT misleading nonsense. | ||
| Check this out. Mario's literally going around punching bricks, shattering them, and then ripping the | ||
| things from their innards. | ||
| So there's mushroom people turned into bricks, and Mario punches them, shattering them to pieces, | ||
| And then the mushroom remnants come out and he eats it to grow. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I didn't realize that that was the plot. | ||
| This sounds like opinion. | ||
| Most people don't know that Mario punches bricks. | ||
| Yeah, his little hand is up there. | ||
| His hand is up. | ||
| He jumps and punches the bricks. | ||
| I should clarify, it's Super Mario Bros. | ||
| Mario Bros. | ||
| was where Mario and Luigi were on one screen and the things keep coming out of the sides. | ||
| That's a fun game. | ||
| That's in Mario 3, you can play that. | ||
| Oh, I love that game. | ||
| Yeah, the arcade version. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Super Mario Bros. | ||
| Did you guys ever play Donkey Kong 3? | ||
| Oh boy, I hope you bring Donkey Kong up. | ||
| Where you jump up with a spray gun and you're spraying Donkey Kong's butt and he's like climbing up towards beehives and like he's knocking bees down at you. | ||
| I don't know what you're talking about. | ||
| It's so funny. | ||
| I mostly remember the original Donkey Kong, dude. | ||
| That game was awesome. | ||
| You jumping over barrels. | ||
| Donkey Kong Jr. | ||
| was amazing too. | ||
| Really good. | ||
| I used to dream about that game. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like how can I make that jump to that other rope? | |
| I would dream about it. | ||
| Yeah, I remember like back in the day, so we had a Sega Genesis, like every time you died you had to completely restart. | ||
| I remember as a kid like having dreams where I finally got to the next level and I'd be like, what happens there? | ||
| So we got a couple different superchats from people, so I'll just read one of them about enlistment. | ||
| Carl Re says, my first superchat, when you enlist you have an eight-year commitment to the government. | ||
| You sign up for four, you have four years active and four years inactive ready reserves. | ||
| Oh, eight years! | ||
| I can't remember who I asked, but I was like, I think it's on the show, would you recommend enlisting or going to college and getting a degree? | ||
| And they're like, get your degree first, you know? | ||
| And going in as like an officer? | ||
| Wait, so can't you only take advantage of the GI Bill? | ||
| Does the GI Bill pay off your loans after you have them? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But I guess the difference is being enlisted or being a commissioned officer. | ||
| Going in as an officer. | ||
| Better going in as an officer. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Daniel Bundrick says, the ironic thing about the knee being on Floyd's shoulder blade is that it would suppress breathing more than it were if it were on his neck, since no pressure is on the lungs, especially in the case of fentanyl overdose, where respiratory suppression is common. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Yeah, very, very interesting. | ||
| Bitcoin Hunter says, great show. | ||
| Freedom Tunes is awesome. | ||
| Oh, thank you. | ||
| you. Thank you. And that's not. Everyone's just saying Dune over and over again. Isn't it? | ||
| I was going to say this earlier. | ||
| It's hilarious what people will seize on from a show. | ||
| You discuss so many topics, but you never know what's going to stick. | ||
| Dune is underrated in our society. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think that's why. | |
| Dune is awful. | ||
| Super chat me and tell me why I'm wrong. | ||
| Dune is the best! | ||
| I knew you were going to do this. | ||
| I'm kidding, I'm kidding. | ||

And Duke Arconin. | |
| Zazuba says, Oligopoly is the word you're looking for to describe big tech and social media. | ||
| I definitely like the idea of making Twitter a common carrier. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How do you do that if it's a public, a private company? | |
| Verizon's a private company. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| I think instead of Twitter, everyone in the country should just get one big like group text. | ||
| And when you have your opinion, you'll just like send your opinion out to the group text and everyone else gets it. | ||
| Just be going So you find something really cool you just like retweet it | ||
| You know I mean are you like resend it? | ||
| That's I think Twitter should be should be everyone should be banned from Twitter and Trump should be brought back | ||
| Trump is just That's hilarious. He would love it | ||
| It's just called Trump er and like there's no react ability because no one has an account | ||
| But he's still just tweeting all the time. No you can only everyone love this I do no | ||
| I think it'd be even funnier if you couldn't even do that so he has no feedback on the tweet | ||
| But he's still constantly putting them out there. He's doing that with his emails | ||
| He is, yeah. | ||
| He just sends like 150 character emails out every time he would have sent a tweet out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's trained. | |
| No, now he sends paragraphs. | ||
| No, I was kidding. | ||
| You see what he sent out the other day where he's like, you know, Happy Easter to everybody, even the crazy radical left that's trying to destroy the country or whatever? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh. | |
| Do you think he does voice-to-text? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'll punch him in. | ||
| I think he does voice-to-text. | ||
| I feel like he does a lot. | ||
| He's holding his phone up and he's going, Happy Easter to all of the crazy! | ||
| To all of the crazy! | ||
| Just like Tim does. | ||
| Dude, is that why he talks the way he does? | ||
| Because he kind of talks like someone who's doing text-to-speech. | ||
| The way he enunciates his syllables. | ||
| The reason for this thing is Like it is kind of how you talk when you're trying to make sure the smartphone gets you right. | ||
| I'm talking to a second pair. | ||
| You're sitting there like, what's going on? | ||
| OK. | ||
| He's pergues like he has the perfect cadence for text to speech or speech to text. | ||
| Holy cow, I just noticed that. | ||
| Boot or pack. | ||
| Boost-er-pack. | ||
| Boost-er-pack. | ||
| Says, Tim, it's 1971. | ||
| You're the proud owner of the first ever Federal Reserve note you borrowed at 2% interest. | ||
| But if you are the sole owner of the note, how do you pay back the 2% interest? | ||
| Well, borrow more, of course. | ||
| That's the way the system works. | ||
| Welcome to the Ponzi scheme. | ||
| Yeah, well, as long as they have the guns. | ||
| You guys are too cynical. | ||
| Federal Reserve is great. | ||
| Our monetary policy is perfect. | ||
| Stop it now, boys. | ||
| So Frito says, are you going to make TimCast.com an app? | ||
| Yes! | ||
| So the first thing is the new and improved website. | ||
| People are never happy. | ||
| And then we're going to make an app where you should be able to play things with the phone off. | ||
| You can turn it on, press play, and put it in your pocket. | ||
| I don't think you can do it with the website unless you have a browser or something. | ||
| I don't know if we can do it through a website. | ||
| But you should be able to do it with the app once we get the app going. | ||
| You know, look, the website was, I don't want to say it was delayed a little bit. | ||
| We were optimistic, but we decided to be less optimistic in terms of launch because we have to make sure all the members port over properly and then nobody gets an issue with logins. | ||
| Assume that when something's getting developed, it's going to take three times longer, three to four times longer than you expect. | ||
| I know that's a little extreme, but with modern tech, if you're up against these big guys, Uh, three to four times longer. | ||
| Is this, is this true? | ||
| Someone get a calculator. | ||
| Howdy Hay says, when you divide, when you divide 2020 by 666. | ||
| Oh, I'm not doing this. | ||

| Are you joking? | ||

| Steven Clyde says, Seamus, when are you going to do another collaboration with Eric July? | ||
| That's a good question. | ||
| I love working with Eric. | ||
| Every time I need a voice, I hit him up. | ||
| He's really busy, so sometimes it's hard to get a hold of him, but he's usually pretty cool about doing things when we're able to sync up. | ||
| Yeah, I would love to just... Because the thing is, like, he and I, when we collaborate, it's never like this planned thing where we're like, we need to collab on something. | ||
| It's usually I'm just like, I have a cartoon, which I would like a voice for. | ||
| Eric, can you do this voice? | ||
| Because he always does a fantastic job. | ||
| I mean, he hits it out of the park. | ||
| So yeah, Eric, he's really funny. | ||
| He's really funny. | ||
| His delivery's fantastic every time. | ||
| The racism explained video. | ||
| I remember I wrote that script and I was like happy with the script, but then I was looking back and I was like, ah, maybe it's not that great. | ||
| But when I got his audio for it, I was like, this is so funny. | ||
| Like his delivery just makes it every time I've ever had him do a voice. | ||
| He's just crushed it. | ||
| So yeah, I want to use him as often as possible, but he's just, he's too good for me now. | ||
| No, I'm kidding. | ||
| I don't even want, I don't even want fake beef. | ||
| I love, I love Eric. | ||
| He's doing really well and good for him. | ||
| He should be. | ||
| Yeah, no, we'll do something again soon. | ||
| I'll hit him up right now. | ||
| Eric, let's collab this instant. | ||
| All right, let's just do, uh, we'll do one more. | ||
| Alexander Skrpeci says, in my department, we were trained to put the leg-knee across one shoulder blade on a downward angle so not to damage the spine at the neck. | ||
