You This is big story that's gone that it's been going around | |
| for a little bit People have been talking about it for some weeks. | ||
| It's that houses are becoming impossible to buy. | ||
| But there's something strange about the story, and without getting a bit too conspiratorial, one fact is that pension funds and Wall Street and big investment firms with international interests are buying up houses at massive amounts above cost. | ||
| Somebody will say, I'm going to sell my house for $200,000, and they'll be like, we'll give you $250,000. | ||
| Pricing out any middle class person from the market. | ||
| Houses, it's a very direct and simple way that middle class people transfer wealth to their kids. | ||
| You buy a house, you get old, you die, your kids inherit that house. | ||
| Now it's gonna be the middle class are permanent renters. | ||
| Because all of these big firms are buying up houses like crazy, and maybe there's just... maybe it's a good money-making opportunity for these Federal Reserve-backed institutions. | ||
| But at the same time, we're getting these stories where they're saying millennials regret buying their houses, and middle-class people don't want to buy houses anymore, and I'm like, why is... why are there all these articles coming out claiming people don't want to own houses? | ||
| At the same time, the biggest investment firms are buying houses. | ||
| That just seems kind of odd to me. | ||
| At the very least, it's going to result in middle-class people not owning property, not owning wealth, squandering what little wealth they have inadvertently, and massive Wall Street companies or, you know, whatever, owning everything. | ||
| Some people are saying outright, this is just part of the Great Reset. | ||
| You will own nothing, and you will be happy. | ||
| 10 years from now, 20 years from now, the next generation, they won't have things. | ||
| There's a lot to go through. | ||
| We'll break this down. | ||
| Plus a bunch of other stories. | ||
| There's apparently a story come out saying they weren't even selling bats at the Wuhan wet market. | ||
| Anthony Fauci says, I am science! | ||
| And got really mad on TV. | ||
| So joining us today is, we got Jack Sobic. | ||
| Hey, hey, Jack Posobiec, Senior Editor, Human Events. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Author of the new book, Antifa Stories Inside the Black Black. | ||
| Go to antifabook.com, check it out. | ||
| Filling in for Jack Murphy. | ||
| I know a lot of people were expecting another Jack this evening. | ||
| Jack couldn't be here today and asked me to cover for him as the official Wednesday Jack. | ||
| Yeah, you got but you got to do it in the official like anchor like Jack Murphy has the night off, I will be filling in. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, Jack Murphy has the night off. | ||
| I will be playing the role of Jack Murphy, though with a slightly less conspicuous beard. | ||
| We got Seamus. | ||
| Got Seamus over here. | ||
| We don't have the Illinois boys tonight, unfortunately, but I'm happy to sit here with the other Jack, and we will be pouring out an old style for our fallen brother. | ||
| An old style? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Ian's chillin' with the electroplasma ball. | ||
| Someone asked in the chat, Asking you shall receive. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Like, why is it Ian sitting at the plasma ball? | ||
| Electricity! | ||
| Wait, so they said that in the chat before they could see Ian. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We're talking about collective memory. | ||
| Is this room bugged? | ||
| Something is happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| They were asking that he do it. | ||
| They asked that he do it. | ||
| They were like, can we have Ian sit by the plasma ball? | ||
| It makes him look cool. | ||
| He was already here. | ||
| We were like, I'm not doing it because you asked, dude. | ||
| Because I want to. | ||
| They're watching. | ||
| We got Lydia. | ||
| I am also here in the corner pushing buttons for these guys. | ||
| I request that they not argue with each other too much, but we'll see what happens. | ||
| Can we argue with you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, sure you can. | |
| We'll just argue with a straw man of the left. | ||
| We'll pretend like there's a leftist there. | ||
| We'll get only the worst arguments from their side possible. | ||
| I'll be the straw man. | ||
| Say the worst leftist talking points so we can pretend like we're all smart. | ||
| Wanna help everyone. | ||
| I gotta add, you know, so our internet got struck by lightning. | ||
| And we, I guess one of the boxes downstairs, like one of our network boxes, got fried by it. | ||
| So we're, you know, I think it's working. | ||
| I don't know, if the internet cuts out. | ||
| I was watching Loki earlier. | ||
| The internet just shut off and I was so mad. | ||
| It's like, I'm in the middle of watching Loki, man! | ||
| So that wasn't like Thor Well, let's let's we'll get serious before we get started over to Tim cast calm become a member by clicking that big old members only button And then you will get access to the exclusive members only area I can only assume that tonight's members only exclusive will be a hoot a Because we got Jack, Seamus, me, Ian, Lydia, everybody's here, so it'll be a loud and raucous conversation, I suppose, talking about the things that YouTube typically doesn't want us to talk about. | ||
| And when you become a member, you don't just get these amazing segments, which you don't want to miss. | ||
| You're actually helping fund the expansion of our mission. | ||
| So we've got a newsroom launching hopefully in the next week or two. | ||
| I don't have an exact date yet. | ||
| It's going to be particularly rudimentary to start. | ||
| But we're going to start bringing on journalists immediately and expanding and expanding and expanding, and then we're going to have our own news operation fact-checking these lying fake news journalists and putting out the real news. | ||
| And it's going to be very, very precise and academic, and we are going to have like one of the most rigorous fact-checking operations. | ||
| We're actually trying to get another... So we're going to hire fact-checkers, then we're going to hire a fact-checker to fact-check us and have them somewhere like 20 miles away so they never interact with anyone here. | ||
| Then they read the articles, go through them, and we do that to try and filter framing properly. | ||
| So, if everyone's hanging out and talking about everything, and they're like, that's Joe Biden admitting he's a liar. | ||
| Then someone 20 miles away doesn't talk to us, hears it and says, I don't think he's saying he's a liar, I think he's saying this, and then we can also try and make sure we're doing proper framing and stuff. | ||
| So, become a member. | ||
| Let's talk about this tweet from Jack Posobiec. | ||
| This guy, Jack Posobiec, AntifaBook.com, he's got some nerve. | ||
| He said, this should be illegal in all 50 states and punishable by federal prison time. | ||
| What was he referring to? | ||
| It's a Twitter thread where Cultural Husbandry notes, BlackRock is buying every single family house they can find, paying 20-50% above asking price, and outbidding normal homebuyers. | ||
| Why are corporations, pension funds, and property investment groups buying entire neighborhoods? | ||
| Well, it goes on to say it's basically the Great Reset. | ||
| The middle class uses home ownership, land ownership, to transfer wealth to their children. | ||
| But what happens when, during a Great Reset, or I'm sorry, during a pandemic, there's a Great Reset, as it were, of people's jobs, of businesses, everybody gets knocked out of the playing field, sort of levels a lot of people out, their businesses are closed. | ||
| Family businesses, these are some of the most horrifying stories. | ||
| Companies that have been around for like a hundred years, gone overnight. | ||
| Now these people are going to become renters. | ||
| Many moved. | ||
| They want to buy houses. | ||
| It's not that hard to buy a house. | ||
| People think it is. | ||
| But all of a sudden you find this out on zillow.com and you're flicking and you're like, man, this is so cool. | ||
| Look at this house. | ||
| And then you call the agent and he says, oof, just sold for 50K above asking. | ||
| You're like, how am I supposed to compete with that as a regular person? | ||
| How are millennials supposed to build wealth when these companies are coming in and buying a ball's property? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, they're not. | ||
| I wish that Jack Fowler were here so we could have a conversation with him on his perspective on the matter, but I think that what is happening is terrible. | ||
| I'm generally a fan of the free market, but part of why this was possible was because the government came in and they shut down the entire economy for months, and then they also printed a bunch of money inflating the dollar, and so for your average person, given the savings they had prior, it's going to be much more difficult for them to afford a house in these massive companies are going to be able to. So it's a consolidation of wealth, | ||
| the likes of which I predicted would occur as a result of this ballot and as a result of the | ||
| shutdown, and it has. And the fact is, people who don't own property are much easier to control. | ||
| And check this out, you can't even build a house now. So this was reported back | ||
| in April. | ||
| It's about $40,000 more to build a house today because of the skyrocketing lumber and steel prices, which have only gone higher. | ||
| So imagine this. | ||
| It's July of last year. | ||
| You got a few thousand dollars in savings, and you're like, I got enough to put down on buying a house. | ||
| Not anymore you don't. | ||
| Maybe you were like, okay, I saved up enough to actually get a loan for a new construction. | ||
| Not anymore, you don't. | ||
| That new concept is way too expensive. | ||
| So what happens? | ||
| Not only that, not only has it become harder because of inflation and skyrocketing materials prices, you finally are like, well, I have enough. | ||
| I've saved enough. | ||
| I've overcome these, these challenges. | ||
| And then, sorry, BlackRock outbid you by 25%. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, you know, going off what Shane was saying. | ||
| So Jack is here! | ||
| And it turns out the guy is here. | ||
| Yeah, this, you're absolutely right, though, this was a situation where the government said, and you see Fannie Mae deciding to want to do this to say, look, all of these people went underwater in their, you know, they, we call it remember the toxic subprime loans and the mortgages and people were buying house that they couldn't afford, etc, etc. | ||
| Okay, we know how that started. | ||
| We know who the people who were responsible for it. | ||
| But we live in this strange system where the same people who are called upon to fix it are actually the ones who created the problem in the first place. | ||
| And that's how it goes! | ||
| So who do they turn to? | ||
| Oh, you know, themselves! | ||
| Who could solve this problem? | ||
| We can! | ||
| We'll buy it ourselves! | ||
| And then, and the one that he actually doesn't mention in the thread, but I would throw out there, and it's just absolutely huge, and you see so many Wealthy Chinese families coming in Chinese elite CCP elites that know that their money is if it's in a Chinese banks and you've run a foul of the party if you become the new persona non grata, right Xi Jinping or whoever it is in the Politburo can reach right in snag that from you. | ||
| They're using it as tax havens. | ||
| They're using it as tax shelters. | ||
| They're getting out of it. | ||
| And they know, by the way, that the market is just super hot right now. | ||
| So it actually is, in a financial sense, a very fantastic investment. | ||
| But it's the financialization of what is supposed to be and has traditionally been this wealth ownership, this wealth generation for middle | ||
| class for working class families, that now is being completely turned into the next | ||
| commodities market. You don't have landlords anymore. You've got some guy who's owning it on Wall Street, | ||
| they set up like a front company to manage the whole thing, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So it's not like, you know, it's not like one guy. | ||
| Oh, I flipped a couple of houses. | ||
| And now I've got like, 10. | ||
| I had a cousin who had, you know, he had 10 houses in the Indianapolis area. | ||
| So he's, he's running it himself, basically, maybe has a couple people working for him. | ||
| But it's not that anymore. | ||
| Doesn't, you know, call centers and, you know, mechanics that are all Aren't there a bunch of Chinese, like you mentioned Chinese wealthy people, but isn't like large swaths of land in the West just like open acreage bought by wealthy Chinese families? | ||
| And farmland too. | ||
| Yeah, farmland. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| And this is, there's a ton of stuff that they're putting in because people don't understand that, you know, when you say CCP in China, you know, it, You know, people have this tendency, and it makes sense, that you want to put that into an American perspective, right? | ||
| We categorize things by trying to put into boxes that are familiar to us. | ||
| But there isn't anything like the CCP in the United States because it's, well, they say, well, you know, their government stops here and their business starts there. | ||
| So that's the separation. | ||
| No, there is no separation. | ||
| There's no real separation. | ||
| These aren't necessarily nefarious plots, right? | ||
| This is just a general strategy that they're employing. | ||
| They realize that if they own this farmland, then they can control U.S. | ||
| output, they can get better consumption for Chinese goods. | ||
| Obviously, their consumption of this is going to be much more than us. | ||
| They know that in many cases, when they were fighting back against these tariffs, That President Trump was was employing when he first got in. | ||
| Joe Biden, by the way, has kept a lot of these tariffs in place because they are widely popular. | ||
| They're extremely popular. | ||
| And they know, though, that the farmers of the U.S. | ||
| are doing a lot of sales on the international market. | ||
| A lot of that ends up in China. | ||
| They can kind of set the prices on this, but they realize, hey, if we own the land, then we can just control the farms directly. | ||
| Do you know who the who the largest private farmland owners in the United States is? | ||
| This is the one where it's Bill Gates. | ||
| It's Bill Gates! | ||
| Bill Gates is the largest private farmland owner in the U.S. | ||
| Good for him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Rolling the sleeves up, getting out from behind the computer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm glad something good finally happened for that guy. | |
| Hold on, let me, sorry. | ||
| There's more. | ||
| So it's not just Bill Gates. | ||
| I mean, there's a lot of conspiracies about why he's doing it. | ||
| I think he just wants to own land. | ||
| I think owning land is a really smart investment. | ||
| That's what they say to people, buy land. | ||
| The point is, the billionaires are buying it up. | ||
| portfolios. The basic pitch, buy land, they aren't making it anymore. | ||
| So it's not just Bill Gates, I mean there's a lot of conspiracies about why he's doing it. | ||
| I think he just wants to own land. I think owning land is a really smart investment. | ||
| That's what they say to people, buy land. The point is, the billionaires are buying it up. | ||
| They're also buying up Bitcoin. I don't think they expect to lose money on these things. | ||
| But when working class people, middle class people can't buy these things, they can buy Bitcoin. | ||
| I'm not saying they should, you know, don't get advice from me. | ||
| But if they can't buy land, then what can they transfer to their kids? | ||
| What will they own? | ||
| A desire for land. | ||
| This is what's scary and sort of I want to jump back to part of the discussion on real estate, but I will say this as well. | ||
| I know that earlier this year, China was buying so much. | ||
| They were buying up so many of the corn futures or so much corn futures that they ended up pushing the market to an eight year high. | ||
| So they seem to be very interested in this. | ||
| I know also that with these massive companies purchasing real estate, part of what frightens me about that, I mentioned this earlier when I said that people who don't own property are easier to control, is that we have seen payment processors and credit card companies in the past decline service to people who they disagree with politically or who are very controversial. | ||
| Who's to say that these massive companies don't get woke, take a stand, and say we're not going to rent to bigots? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| It's almost like Bitcoin solves a lot of that. | ||
| Regarding the Chinese purchase of land, so if a Chinese citizen bought land, the CCP could seize that land from that Chinese person because they're a Chinese citizen? | ||
| Is that right? | ||
| Not easily, right? | ||
| But they could. | ||
| They could, but more likely than not it would be put into some kind of arbitrage. | ||
| Let's say they were put into jail or something. | ||
| If it's American land. | ||
| They would have to do it through the person, right? | ||
| The Chinese government's not gonna come to the United States government and be like, that legal document that says that person owns it, we own it now. | ||
| They're gonna be like, get out of here. | ||
| But they could station Chinese troops on that piece of land? | ||
| Like, okay, if a Chinese citizen buys a piece of land in the United States, does the United States still own the land? | ||
| Like, how does that work? | ||
| Who owns that property globally? | ||
| The United States still has sovereignty. | ||
| Sovereignty, that's not ownership. | ||
| It's still collecting property tax from that person. | ||
| China can't put troops there. | ||
| No, they can't do that. | ||
| What about police? | ||
| They can put spies? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| What about like private police? | ||
| They can put spies surreptitiously, but that's private security. | ||
| Yeah, it's private security. | ||
| They could hire and station private security in Chinese... And those private security have to operate under U.S. | ||
| laws with proper U.S. | ||
| accreditation. | ||
| Yeah, right, until the war breaks out. | ||
| They can do the things you would do on your property, basically. | ||
| Bro, before the war breaks out, the U.S. | ||
| military goes in and sweeps it out. | ||
| Yeah, but how much land do they own? | ||
| That's my concern. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| If war breaks out, they don't own any land. | ||
| That's the best part. | ||
| All of the debt that China holds in the U.S., if right now, just like, you know, Joe Biden sitting there, and he just like, he's like falling asleep, and then he farts and goes, oh, I declare war on China! | ||
| Oh, what happened? | ||
| Our debt's gone! | ||
| There's no debt when you're at war. | ||
| Imagine being like, imagine some guy being like, you owe me a hundred bucks, and then punching him in the face. | ||
| My concern is if they buy up thousands of farms and then station private security all over the place, Chinese private security, and then that's just an insurgent. | ||
| The goal is financial directly, right? | ||
| And this is something where, you know, and I've had large disagreements with people on this very question over, you know, Are we falling into the Thucydides trap? | ||
| Is it impossible to get away from war with China that we are hurtling towards? | ||
| Is this inevitable? | ||
| Is this something that cannot be stopped? | ||
| The way I look at it is, I think something more like the Great Reset is more like what's inevitable. | ||
| China doesn't want to go to war with us. | ||
| We're their biggest customer, right? | ||
| They want us to be in that consumer mode. | ||
| They want us to be in that constant state of, like you said, not not owning property, not worrying about, you know, trying to generate wealth of our own as long as it's enough where we're purchasing their goods. | ||
| We're not causing any problems. | ||
| We're not getting involved too much with the real, you know, the actual realities on the ground is the way things look. | ||
| You know, are in China, you know, don't worry about those Uyghurs, you know, don't worry about those people in Hong Kong. | ||
| Don't worry about the freedom fighters that are, you know, constantly being detained throughout China. | ||
| We just saw this huge protest in Nanjing University, right? | ||
| Nanjing Normal University, which might seem kind of insignificant as a university protest, whatever. | ||
| You know, we have those in the U.S., what, like every five minutes? | ||
| In China, that's a big deal. | ||
| In China, that's quite a big deal. | ||
| There are workers protests in China. | ||
| In the provinces on a fairly regular basis, but they're just not heard about in in US media. | ||
| They don't have social media access. | ||
| We don't know about it a lot, but it's it's a constant thing in the mid 2000s is going on a lot. | ||
| But for students to protest like that, I mean, you know, and obviously we're in very close proximity to the the anniversary of Tiananmen Square and nowhere near on that scale, right? | ||
| Because Tiananmen wasn't even just Beijing. | ||
| It was all over the country, but To see any Chinese students at, you know, kids in their 20s, basically, standing up against the government. | ||
| Essentially, I don't know the story. | ||
| The idea was they had been going to what were considered private universities, but the Ministry of Education had come in and said, Yeah, you're not going to be private universities anymore. | ||
| We're going to consolidate you down. | ||
| We're going to consider you these to be vocational tech schools at this point. | ||
| So it's basically kind of like, like, imagine if you had spent all the money to go to a private university, and then, you know, the government comes in and says, Yeah, that's a community college now. | ||
| So you know, your college, your, you know, your degree is worth, it was worth here. | ||
| And now it's worth here. | ||
| I mean, China, that's still a huge, huge deal. | ||
| So the kids go nuts. | ||
| They go absolutely nuts. | ||
| And the police came in and were just completely brutal with them. | ||
| But the difference is this went super viral all across Chinese media. | ||
| What, recently? | ||
| Last week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| And they locked the city down, didn't they? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The whole city got put under lockdown. | ||
| It was multiple campuses where this thing broke out. | ||
| At one point, the Chinese government came out and the CCP saying, oh, well, they took the dean hostage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And so that's why we had to go in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And I was and I don't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You wonder if they were actually taking kind of like a Black Lives Matter sort of take on things. | ||
| But then the kids posted pictures of the guy and he had he had like a box of chicken and a soda. | ||
| He said, no, he came and sat down with us. | ||
| And you could see like other kids sitting around with him. | ||
| And so, yeah, I know you're saying evergreen. | ||
| It's kind of hard to tell, but it didn't look like a hostage. | ||
| I mean, at Evergreen College, they definitely, you know, locked the administrators and they're like, we didn't hold anybody hostage. | ||
| Like they weren't free to leave, though. | ||
| But so in terms of we're talking about the potential for war with China, we have the story from Yahoo. | ||
| So much at stake. | ||
| PM's chilling warning on conflict with China. | ||
| Prime Minister Scott Morrison, he will call on the world leaders to stand in unison against the growing threat of China. | ||
| On Wednesday, he will deliver a major foreign policy speech ahead of a trip to the United Kingdom, where he'll be a guest at a meeting of the world economic powers, including the U.S., Germany, and France. | ||
| Bro, it sounds like war with China is seriously on the horizon. | ||
| It's not just this, not just Australia being like, yo, it's happening. | ||
| I mean, obviously China came back and they're like, ah, that's rubbish, there's no war. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| just dispatched its Pacific fleet across the Pacific in anticipation of Chinese rocket attacks. | ||
| You're talking about the aircraft or the Navy? | ||
| has has has their air fleet two different bases one in japan i think in | ||
| okinawa could be wrong and one in guam and there was concern that you're talking about the | ||
| aircraft or the navy uh... is the air force with the airport area | ||
| so they were worried that these chinese rockets would just wipe out these bases | ||
| into the devil time no time to scramble it wouldn't just be the the basis be the | ||
| I mean, I've gone through those scenarios when I was in the Navy, and, I mean, it basically comes down to, like, at what time would they be destroying what facility, right? | ||
| Okinawa's right there. | ||
| It's right there. | ||
| But so what the U.S. | ||
| has done is they've dispatched the fleet around the Pacific, so now there's, like, some bombs here, some planes there, and they straight-up said, oh, it's a, you know, in anticipation of what with China, we will not be vulnerable to these attacks. | ||
| We're seeing that. | ||
| We're also seeing the Pentagon is buying up weapons specifically for naval and Pacific warfare, as opposed to Middle Eastern warfare, like drone strikes and things like that. | ||
| Seems like Thucydides' trap is a given, and they recognize it. | ||
| Maybe the economic stuff was an attempt to stop it. | ||
| Maybe this NBA stuff was like, the more business we build up, the less likely there will be a war, and war is bad. | ||
| Sounds like war is gonna happen. | ||
| Yeah, so I'll put it this way, that is there a near-peer competitor that would be at the most, and when I say that I mean another state actor which would have a comparable military to the United States, that the US could potentially go to war with? | ||
| Number one would definitely be China. | ||
|
unidentified
|
100%. | |
| Right? | ||
| The reason that I'm still, you know, I'd bet against it, it's like I'd put it 60-40 right now. | ||
| Is is because they're just making so much money off of us, right? | ||
| They're constantly making money off of us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true. | |
| Even more money now after the pandemic, which they certainly played to their own. | ||
| You know, I'm not one of those people who thinks the pandemic was a deliberate plot or anything like that by them. | ||
| But I think it's something that once once it hit, they realized how to spin everything in their favor, financially speaking. | ||
| They're positioning themselves to be the major beneficiaries of the Great Reset. | ||
| They're still in bed with all of our elites, with all the Western elites, and by and large have been financed and built up by Western elites. | ||
| They're essentially winning, so why would they go hot? | ||
| Why shoot? | ||
| And the only thing that I think that could potentially lead to that is if you see the actual party from the inside be threatened, if you see Xi Jinping feel that his rule is threatened, if you see him potentially weakened by rivals, then does he make a play for Taiwan? | ||
| Maybe there's a bunch of protests breaking out across the country which could threaten to destabilize the social order? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that possible? | |
| This is why I keep an eye on it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, so you were mentioning this a moment ago in the earlier segment, but just a minute ago, that these massive protests were breaking out all across China. | ||
| I mean, is that something you think could make the Chinese Communist Party fear their control over the country? | ||
| Potentially, but that's going to lead to internal crackdowns. | ||
| That wouldn't be something that would, you know, they would want to do some kind of like, you know, external big like wag the dog type approach to anything. | ||
| And, you know, Xi Jinping is starting to now get credit for essentially not, you know, I wouldn't say the return of Hong Kong, but just the control of Hong Kong, right? | ||
| They they view this as a huge win. | ||
| And if you look at those, the 6-4 anniversary, so the anniversary Tiananmen Square is June 4th. | ||
| And if you look at those images out of Victoria Park in Hong Kong, downtown Hong Kong, This has always been the spot where, since 1989, the people of Hong Kong, particularly young people, particularly students, would go out every single June 4th night and hold a candlelight vigil there in Victoria Park. | ||
| So there's these montage photos people have put up on the internet. | ||
| where it shows that it's it's this huge thing and it's every year and it sort of became this sort of hybrid dual meaning where it's it's in commemoration of Tiananmen Square but it's also that hey we we know you don't want us doing this after 1997 the handover that okay we're part of Chinese sovereignty now under Beijing but we are still going to do this because we are Hong Kong and we are free Last year, it was an incredibly diminished crowd. | ||
| All of a sudden you see this like this huge park, but it's only maybe like 50 percent capacity. | ||
| And then this last year, it's empty. | ||
| It's you or you. | ||
| You are going to see a lot of people, and I think you are in the United States moving from libertarian to | ||
| authoritarian very, very quickly with the Nickelodeon thing where the drag queen dancer is showing the red salute, the | ||
| communist fist and telling the kids, this is a good thing. | ||
| Look at this. Not flashing on the screen. | ||
| And just a lot of what's happening in this country, it's hyper-polarization, right? | ||
| So on my main channel... Anything with kids, anything involving kids, you are tripping those... | ||
| That's a primal red line, right? | ||
| Biological, spiritual, everything. | ||
| Yeah, the story of the dad and the mom in Texas fighting over custody of the kid who the mom said was trans, the dad said wasn't. | ||
| I mean, these are serious issues. | ||
| I covered vaccine segregation on my main channel today because Democrats are increasingly pushing what is called vaccine segregation, so there's going to be a grand reopening of New York City. | ||
| Where 70% of the tickets will go to people who are vaccinated and then 30% to people who are unvaccinated will go to special segregated areas. | ||
| Madison Square Garden is doing an event where you have to be fully vaccinated so you have to have your two full doses and it has to be a few weeks after or whatever then you can get in. | ||
| Whereas red states are doing the exact opposite. | ||
| So I bring this up just to tie it into what we're talking about with China and the expansion and possible war. | ||
| China is extremely authoritarian. | ||
| The authoritarian nature is allowing them just Iron fist control of Hong Kong, right? | ||
| No more protests. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| is being rocked and shattered by protest. | ||
| So I think what's going to happen is you're going to see a lot of people who are just, I mean, I've already heard the conversations where they're like, well, freedom is for peacetime, you know, libertarianism, liberty is for peacetime. | ||
| When you're in a time of war, that's when the rules go out the window. | ||
| You've got the potential for war with China. | ||
| And this is what a lot of people are saying. | ||
| Because we're such a free-spirited country that allows a lot of liberty, it allows the rise of subversive groups who would weaken us at a time when we're facing potential war. | ||
| China's not doing that. | ||
| If China goes to war, their country's locked down and everyone falls in line. | ||
| If the U.S. | ||
| goes to war, we're going to be ripped apart. | ||
| There's also a huge dichotomy there as well. | ||
| You talked about millennials earlier, right? | ||
| I don't know how many millennial I'd love to actually pull up the millennial homeownership numbers. | ||
| Well, we all know it's terrible. | ||
| We all know it's really bottomed out. | ||
| But how many of how many millennial homeowners are flying, you know, American flags in front of their houses? | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And, you know, it's going to be I don't know if there's any studies in this, but my guess is that would be quite quite a lot less than their parents. | ||
| Right. | ||
| In China, it's the exact opposite. | ||
| The generation that you are seeing come up now in China are 10 times more hyper-nationalistic than any that has preceded them, potentially since the Communist Cultural Revolution of the 1960s. | ||
| Was there a noticeable change in the Chinese population after Tiananmen Square? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe you can explain a little bit about how many people died. | |
| It would be after the one-child policy is when you see the noticeable shift. | ||
| It's like a plateau. | ||
| It just drops off. | ||
| I, part of, part of me just would love to see a simulation of what these leftists would experience should China win the economic war and any potential hot conflict. | ||
| Can we send them there? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's, it's not, it's, it's, but, but they wouldn't live. | ||
| Every, every bides walk and just, just go right over. | ||
| And for those who aren't familiar, it means white left. | ||
| It's their word for SJW. | ||
| But no, no, no. | ||
| If the U.S. | ||
| loses this economic conflict, this trade war, the economic war, or even the Cold War or the hot war, whatever it becomes, they're not going to live anywhere near as good as the people of China will live. | ||
| So we can say like, oh, we'll send them to China. | ||
| Well, I mean, Chinese cities, they have political problems. | ||
| There's authoritarianism, but the people still live in city conditions. | ||
| If we if we go to war and we lose that war, it's like then you live at the whims | ||
| of your of your of the. | ||
| Oh, I see what you're saying, right? | ||
| Yeah, they're going to be living like POWs. | ||
| They're going to be right. | ||
| So, you know, your, your, you know, your, your ability to protest that's gone out the window, right? | ||
| Your, your, your blog, your, your social media accounts, your tumblers, your whatever, whatever it is where you're going. | ||
| The reason I mentioned tumblers, because that's, you know, it's, it's, it's like oversharing, right? | ||
| It's over free. | ||
| It's, it's well, who can say the most taboo thing who can push the most buttons that's gone. | ||
| That's gone overnight. | ||
| You're going to start to make people support the CCP here. | ||
| Be careful. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| There's this meme where these leftists are like... I'll tell you what they think about Christianity next. | ||
| There's this meme where the leftists, like the Bernie people, are like, we should put the 1% in gulags, make them break rocks for a few months so they know what hard work is like. | ||
| It's like, bro, you guys don't do hard work at all. | ||
| I think what they don't realize is that the things they're advocating for would put them in gulags breaking rocks so they can learn the value of hard work. | ||
| They're not going to go to the guy who's working at a steel mill. | ||
| They're not going to go to the guy who's a construction worker. | ||
| They're just going to be like, keep working, and they're going to be like, okay. | ||
| They're going to go to the intelligentsia, the college academic kids, these activists, and they're the problem. | ||
| Whenever these takeovers happen, they immediately try and purge the intelligentsia who made the revolutions happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
100%. | |
| Yeah, those people are dangerous. | ||
| They're subversive. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| There's a reason that we don't talk about the Mensheviks anymore. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Everyone knows what happens to the Mensheviks. | ||
| But ultimately, I bring this up because it's like, if war is inevitable, our greatest weakness is our internal conflict. | ||
| I mean, there are already people who have been superchatting us saying things like they think it's China's plan to promote these leftist, anti-American ideas, to teach anti-American history lessons, to claim the country is awful. | ||
| What happens then if there's complete demoralization? | ||
| and then uh... you know chinese boat crashes on the shores of santa monica on | ||
| a bunch of soldiers walkout and they're like we're here to liberate you from the | ||
| oppressive this is a racist white people. This is Paul Wolfowitz right? We'll be greeted as liberators. | ||
| Exactly here's the thing though when we sort of talked about this the other day | ||
|
unidentified
|
They didn't welcome us to liberate America. | |
| The people who would bow to the chinese government aren't really the people who | ||
| would have been much of a threat had they put up a fight anyway. | ||
| And there is a gun behind every blade of grass. | ||
| What's the name of the Chinese army? | ||
| The Red Army? | ||
| No, no, the official name. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| The People's Liberation Army. | ||
| See, they've already thought of this. | ||
| They've already thought this through. | ||
| But if we get to the point where, you know, we're all racing our embassies, fly the flags of Black Lives Matter, we're seeing Children's Show fly the Red Salute, the CCP members perform the Red Salute when they're, you know, being brought into the party or whatever. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| They're gonna come here and be like, no, no, we agree with you. | ||
| We're the same. | ||
| They're gonna be like, they're gonna have the flags with the fist on it. | ||
| And then the leftists are gonna be like, oh, this is a good thing. | ||
| And they're gonna say, we're here to liberate you from the evil white supremacists. | ||
| And you're gonna have a lot of people being like, awesome. | ||
| And then the Chinese Communist Party will go through every piece of social media you've ever posted, including all the people that they think are on their side. | ||
| Look at all there. | ||
| If there's one thing that got said out, they'll be glad it's not even that they'd look. | ||
| They'd look at it and say, who's useful and who's not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Right. | ||
| If you're if you're of no use to us, if you if you can't be put to work, if you can't if you're not in STEM fields or producing something of value, if you're not an actual worker, then you're just Get out of here. | ||
| You're done. | ||
| Go sit and assume your consumption bubble. | ||
| Sit in your pod, eat your bugs, right? | ||
| That's you. | ||
| That's your job. | ||
| Well, so this goes back to the conversation we were talking about before. | ||
| Let me pull up this story I find very, very strange. | ||
| It's about the pods, basically. | ||
| From Business Insider, most millennial homeowners regret buying their home, survey finds. | ||
| That just reeks of me of propaganda. | ||
| Yeah, I want to see how those numbers break down. | ||
| Millennials, you don't want to own your own home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Where you're paying less than you would for a rent, and you're keeping all the equity, except for the interest. | ||
| No, no, no, you don't want to do that. | ||
| It's a terrible thing. | ||
| Does it say why? | ||
| Does it say, like, millennials want to move around more? | ||
| Or does it even give any reason? | ||
| They say 20% said expensive maintenance costs, and 13% said it was because they overpaid. | ||
| And I look at that and I'm like, this article to me reeks of, live in the pod. | ||
| We've already got all the eat the bugs articles, the cicadas. | ||
| By the way, the cicadas are getting smaller. | ||
| So I went outside today and- It's because the big ones are getting eaten. | ||
| Well, no, no, no. | ||
| I think it's because the big ones, the strong ones, came out earlier and then died. | ||
| And what's happening now is the weaker ones have been slow to emerge and they're much smaller. | ||
| So we're close to the end of the cicada swarm. | ||
| But the media has been saying, eat the bugs. | ||
| Like crazy, even Tucker Carlson is like, I'm gonna eat a bug live on TV. | ||
| It's delicious. | ||
| Did Tucker eat a bug on TV? | ||
| He ate a cicada pastry on TV. | ||
| The elite wants you to think you shouldn't eat bugs. | ||
| Of course you can. | ||
| Of course you can eat bugs. | ||
| Of course you can, actually. | ||
| The best Tucker is using actually at the end of a sentence. | ||
| Yeah, that is very true. | ||
| And then when he has a guest on, he just goes, The elite want you to think that you're not supposed to eat bugs. | ||
| You are. | ||
| But actually, people around the world eat bugs, and they enjoy it. | ||
| What about lobster? | ||
| Lobster's a bug. | ||
| People eat that. | ||
| Lobster is a bug. | ||
| You know who doesn't eat bugs? | ||
| Antifa. | ||
| Antifa doesn't eat bugs. | ||
| Read about Antifa's diet in my new book at AntifaBook.com. | ||
| Did you study them like animals? | ||
| Yes, yes I did. | ||
| This is what they consume. | ||
| In Chaz they had a whole co-op with food and everything. | ||
| In Chaz they had a whole like co-op with food and everything so yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bucks. | |
| Bucks. | ||
| No bucks. | ||
| So it's true. | ||
| Antifa doesn't need bugs. | ||
| Confirmed. | ||
| You should do a video spoof. | ||
| You should do a video spoof with shots of Antifa and do like the Earth style documentary. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The young Antifa approaches the female and performs his dance, a mating ritual. | |
| Anyway, anyway, we're talking about eating the bugs and living in the pod. | ||
| And then we'll have the Snoop Dogg version on top of that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I got some questions about this article. | ||
| Well, so it's an article. | ||
| It's not the only one, right? | ||
| There's also this other story from Reuters that says U.S. | ||
| consumers sour on housing markets buying conditions. | ||
| I mean, I guess that's true because the ultra wealthy are buying up these houses. | ||
| But, bro, they're saying live in the pod and eat the bugs. | ||
| The people who don't buy houses, have you seen apartments in New York? | ||
| They are pods. | ||
| Dude, I remember watching these these stories on like the news or they're like this apartment goes for $3,000. | ||
| It's a closet. | ||
| Yeah, it's literally a closet and they're like it's a bed in it I mean, I mean Hong Kong is basically like that, you know, they got these really tiny cramped apartments Now there's there's like a subreddit dedicated for these really awful tiny apartments where it's like a bed next to a toilet in a closet Well, there's there's even worse if you look at some of the illegal housing structure they have set up in Hong Kong and Beijing where it'll be these sort of like large kind of like kind of like room room right now, but Inside the room they'll have essentially what looks like steel rack bunk beds and then you can rent one of the bunks and you might be in a room with like 80 other dudes and you know here's a family that's got like two bunks right but it's like five people and that's it and you go to work and you come back to your bunk and it's like the pod would be like a step up from some of this stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Well, that's where we're going. | ||
| So I think it's time for people to get away from cities. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we'll love it! | |
| You will love it. | ||
| You will own nothing, and you'll be happy. | ||
| They make that video, but you know what? | ||
| They're not wrong. | ||
| They're not wrong. | ||
| People can... Look, this is what I was saying earlier today. | ||
| If you were born in the 1400s, are you going to complain about not having a smartphone? | ||
| You wouldn't know what a smartphone is. | ||
| Are you guys complaining about not being able to teleport right now? | ||
| Right now, there's a bunch of technology that'll exist in 100 years we don't know about, and we don't have access to it. | ||
| I mean, we're relatively happy. | ||
| Teleporting just kills you and recreates you in another place. | ||
| I'm not a cop, but that's where I stand on the teleportation question. | ||
| So is it really you? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is it really you? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, so look, right now there's a bunch of technology that'll exist in a hundred years | ||
| we don't know about, and we don't have access to it. | ||
| I mean, we're relatively happy. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| So this is what they're exploiting. | ||
| They're exploiting that if the serfs have access to knowledge, then they will become unhappy with their circumstances. | ||
| So they want us to be ignorant. | ||
| The people who are following the mainstream media, not watching shows like this, not getting a critical thought process through, They're just gonna- Brian Stelter said it, so it must be true. | ||
| I'm happy. | ||
| They're gonna get their home taken away from some ridiculous- They're gonna say, oh no, because of COVID, we've got to take your house now. | ||
| And they're gonna go, well, if it saves one life, that'll be it. | ||
| And then people who aren't in those states, in red states- This is what's crazy. | ||
| The right states are going the other direction. | ||
| DeSantis, Abbott. | ||
| No vaccine passports. | ||
| New York, California, Illinois, Washington. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So what happens? | ||
| New York says if you want to go to these businesses you need a vaccine. | ||
| The Excelsior Pass, they call it. | ||
| So what happens if you're visiting from Texas? | ||
| Just a tourist. | ||
| You want to go visit. | ||
| Sorry, can't come in. | ||
| We don't like your kind around here. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| So people won't go. | ||
| What'll happen is, people who live in New York who don't want to live under a vaccine passport, in a pod, or eating bugs, will move to Texas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Texas will then become ideologically homogenous among people who like freedom, don't want to live in pods, or eat bugs. | ||
| Ooh, I don't know about that, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Because I think a lot of people will leave these blue states for a red state, but still vote for all the horrible things that destroyed their state in the first place. | ||
| They'll go like, oh, I really don't like all of these things the government's forcing me to do, so I'm gonna move somewhere where I'm more free, but then they're just gonna vote for all the same stupid stuff that destroyed their place. | ||
| I don't think so, because the reason I disagree with that is the people in blue states who are for vaccine passports are happy with them and demanding them. | ||
| There are these TikTok videos where the girl's like, I can't believe our governor just banned vaccine passports. | ||
| Like, how dumb. | ||
| They don't want to live there. | ||
| They want to leave. | ||
| And people in New York are like, why don't we have more? | ||
| What did Vice.com write? | ||
| They wrote this article the other day. | ||
| Why aren't we mandating vaccine passports? | ||
| These people are going to jump and cheer to be in New York getting locked in under these things. | ||
| And people who don't like that will leave not wanting to live that way. | ||
| And then you will have an actual physical divide between states and ideology. | ||
| And then it's like the politicians from Washington and the politicians from, you know, Utah or whatever, or whoever else passed a ban on vaccine passports, They are going to be like totally different countries. | ||
| No shared culture, completely at odds. | ||
| And then what happens? | ||
| What happens when New York says, you get Cuomo being like, we have to have vaccine passports because of the potential for a fifth wave. | ||
| And then he says, we're going to have to lock down the borders like we did last time and do checks for people who are vaccinated. | ||
| When the pandemic first started, they had cops. | ||
| At the roads into and out of Manhattan. | ||
| That's already started to an extent with this. | ||
| And I think they keep changing the name of the Indian variant or the Nepalese variant. | ||
| But there's already people saying that we're not sure if the current vaccines that have been rolled out will be effective against the new variant, which is always sort of like one of the corollaries with the vaccine, right? | ||
| That, hey, this may not affect new variants. | ||
| Well, it looks like the thing that's actually spreading across India and is now continuing may not be affected by the current. | ||
| So what happens then if you live in Texas or Florida or North Carolina is an East Coast state. | ||
| It voted for Trump and they have a substantially lower ratio of vaccinations. | ||
| What happens if you live there and you try to go to New York? | ||
| They're not gonna let you in. | ||
| They're literally gonna bar you and be like, if you're not vaccinated, you can't come. | ||
| Then you'll have but yeah, you say oh no for sure No, but like the seriousness of it is a hard divide between a very different issue than just Like, you know, you see it with gun owners right now So they have the they have like the drive-thru laws that you like I if I am a gun owner But I'm driving through a state like New Jersey or I'm driving through New York well as long as I'm not stopping and you know spending a total amount of time in that state and Then I can still have my guns in the car, I'm just driving through, right? | ||
| This isn't my final destination. | ||
| As long as you, you know, you're following, you know, you have to be broken apart and the ammo has to be separated, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| But you can physically have them. | ||
| This is different because it's, I will not go to that state, number one. | ||
| Or, I do not want people from that state coming here in number two, and that's only going to lead... I mean, sports teams. | ||
| What happens with sports teams then? | ||
| Do they still play? | ||
| Is that going to be allowed? | ||
| What happens when a Texas-based sports team, I'm sure which has many conservatives playing on the team, you just don't hear their politics, and they're like, you know, I talked to my doctor, vaccine's not right for me, I don't feel like doing it. | ||
| Then they're like, well, if you want to go play at the World Series or whatever against the Yankees in New York, you have to, otherwise you can't go in. | ||
| And they'll be like, nah. | ||
| This is a hard divide. | ||
| So a lot of people talked about... It's the Olympics right now, by the way. | ||
| That's why, you know, we were supposed to be, like, gearing up for, okay, we had the 2020 Olympics postponed to 2021. | ||
| Summer started, you know, where's the Olympics? | ||
| Like, where's the gear up towards it? | ||
| And in Tokyo, they're freaking out. | ||
| One IOC guy just committed suicide. | ||
| Just threw himself in front of the subway. | ||
| It's horrible. | ||
| Because the sheer amount of pressure that's on them because of all this and all these athletes. | ||
| And you know, you look at some of these sports, by the way, where, you know, like a lot of them, they live off of the Olympics, right? | ||
| You can't have the whole sport collapses without that. | ||
| You know, that Olympics is held every four years. | ||
| And so, you know, you realize that all of these questions are having very real consequences now, right now, in real time. | ||
| And are we going to get to a situation where, I mean, I think, you know, you think of like, like the late night comedy, oh, those people in Texas, they won't come up, you know, imagine how insufferable Jimmy Kimmel is going to be. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Once that starts, but imagine then how radical. | ||
| So if Jimmy Kimmel is the leading edge of it, right, then how radical will they, even the more radical people become towards people from, you know, somebody walking down the street with a, you know, a cowboy hat on. | ||
| Does you, do you become a target now? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| So Bill Maher said a while ago, we're going to tone down the attacks against Trump and his supporters because it could very well lead to a civil war. | ||
| Bill Maher actually said that on the show. | ||
| I never said that. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That's good for him. | ||
| Later on, he said there can't be a civil war because the Mason-Dixon line would go through Nana's Kitchen or something like that, which is like a really dumb statement. | ||
| It's like he thinks time stopped the moment he said those words. | ||
| Bro, the future is a thing. | ||
| Things can change. | ||
| Does he think that like in 1861 they're like, there can't possibly be a civil war? | ||
| Yeah, a lot of people thought that exactly. | ||
| So it's like, who do you think you are? | ||
| You have no idea what could happen. | ||
| We got all these counties in Oregon just voted to secede from the state and join Idaho. | ||
| They literally voted to do that. | ||
| Now whether or not it'll happen, probably not, but the sentiment is there. | ||
| Now you have through, obviously there's cultural issues, but ultimately it comes down to tribal issues. | ||
| For tribal reasons, people are choosing to do things. | ||
| I'm a Republican. | ||
| I'm gonna wear a mask so that no one thinks I'm a conservative. | ||
| I'm a Republican. It's insane. | ||
| Yeah, it's nothing to do with the CDC guidelines. | ||
| There was a... we had Elijah Schaeffer on the show the other day. | ||
| And now he's flying back out and he has this tweet. It's fantastic. | ||
| He said they made an announcement over the intercom on the plane | ||
| that even though the CDC changed the guidelines on masks, the federal government is still requiring everybody abide | ||
| by this, which leaves all of these people on the plane confused | ||
| because they were supposed to do what the CDC said. | ||
| Now they're being told they can't. | ||
| So anyway, I digress on that point. | ||
| It was never about listening to the science. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| So I bring that up because it is totally tribal. | ||
| And now we are getting the physical dividing line between the tribes. | ||
| Well, have you ever heard the idea of when your tribe expands and contracts? | ||
| Well, just one more point. | ||
| There's a story from NPR that shows if you look at all of the states on a scale of the highest per capita vaccinations to the lowest, there's a line right through the middle. | ||
| And there's like a weird gap. | ||
| All of the states that are higher in per capita vaccinations, who did they vote for in 2020? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Joe Biden. | ||
| And on the other side, they're all red except for the four states that were contested by Trump and his team, and I think Missouri. | ||
| I'm not sure Missouri was contested, but that makes sense. | ||
| It's kind of a, you know, a twin state. | ||
| Right. | ||
| All the Trump-supporting states are lower on the vaccination per capita. | ||
| And the states that were like really close and were being contested are also slightly lower. | ||
| And then all the hard blue pro-Biden states, totally like high, 70%, 75% vaccinations. | ||
| So Washington, they're now rolling out vaccine passports. | ||
| New York, we're going to see it everywhere. | ||
| But what's happening is it's not a hardcore thing where they're like, you know, California isn't coming out and saying you must have a vaccine passport or else. | ||
| They're saying, Oh, yes. | ||
| Come in, and if you're not vaccinated, you can go into the bathroom and sit down and have your beer, but you can't be near other people. | ||
| They're making people not participate socially, which creates not a mandate, but a social pressure toward these things. | ||
| Which means, like I mentioned, people who live in New York who won't live that way will go to Florida or Texas. | ||
| I know... How many people do you guys know move to Texas recently? | ||
| Oh, that's great. | ||
| Texas and Florida. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A bunch! | |
| Texas and Florida. | ||
| We had some guests here, and I'm not going to say who they are because I don't know if they've announced they're moving to Texas, but they're like, yeah, I'm moving to Texas. | ||
| And I'm like, several people. | ||
| And Florida, Luke, who was on this show for two months. | ||
| Luke, what are you doing, you traitor? | ||
| He went to Florida! | ||
| Yeah, I moved to the South about six years ago. | ||
| Oh, how was it? | ||
| Went down there for school and never left. | ||
| So I don't know anyone who's moving to Texas because I'm already in the South, you know? | ||
| There's nowhere to go. | ||
| DeSantis is doing a pretty good job. | ||
| Not perfect, but nobody is. | ||
| And he's doing probably one of the best jobs in the country as a governor, in my opinion. | ||
| And so people want to be there. | ||
| But I don't like living in, like, people need to understand the humidity in Florida is so intense, you're swimming. | ||
| You're like, you're basically just underwater. | ||
| Trump left. | ||
| He said, he's like, I'm not doing this. | ||
| I'm going back to New York. | ||
| What? | ||
| He's going back to New York? | ||
| He went back to New York for the summer. | ||
| He said, I'm not even going to be here. | ||
| He's a Florida resident now, but he's up in... Did he get vaccinated? | ||
| He did. | ||
| They said he did. | ||
| I think Ivanka did it publicly, so I took a picture. | ||
| She did it publicly, but then Trump... They said he was vaccinated and Melania before they left the White House, but they never really made a big public thing out of it. | ||
| What about Barron? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no idea. | |
| He's not in the at-risk category. | ||
| I wonder if Trump would do that. | ||
| I just think, you know, when New York, they've announced this massive, I think it's like a $17 million expansion. | ||
| They're funding the Excelsior system. | ||
| It's more than just vaccines. | ||
| The Excelsior system is going to track your medical history, period, and your age and a bunch of other things, which means they could actually say, like, you can't be over 55 to come in here, scan your Excelsior pass. | ||
| They're like, they're really getting into this. | ||
| So let me go back to what I was going to say earlier, is that You know, people are generally tribal, right? | ||
| You know, that's how humanity developed, you know, with these bands of tribes. | ||
| And then as cities and then city-states started to become more developed, your tribe expanded, right? | ||
| And so if you look into, I think we're all generally millennials slash elder millennials. | ||
| No, he's a Gen Xer. | ||
| I'm kind of, I'm right on the bridge of millennial and Gen Z. Okay. | ||
| What year were you born? 95. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| I think you were Gen Z. I might be. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I've heard different definitions, though. | ||
| You're kind of on the bridge. | ||
| Yeah, you're kind of on the bridge of Gen Z. But anyway, put it this way. | ||
| So if you look like 80s, 90s. | ||
| You're a millennial. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| OK. | ||
| Your tribe was generally pretty much the United States of America, right? | ||
| You know, I'm an American first and then you're everything else, right? | ||
| Then you have your religion and then your state and then what sports team you like, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| And then, you know, the enemy is The Soviets! | ||
| Or, you know, then eventually it became, you know, the terrorists! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tersh. | |
| You have to say it like that. | ||
| Tersh. | ||
| You know, for a while. | ||
| But then, you know, really starting past 2008 and, you know, I don't make this an Obama thing, but like, I think it's a word of financial as well, that with that financial instability, that you saw a breakup of that idea. | ||
| And so because in in times of scarcity, right, the tribes get smaller. | ||
| And you're because we're looking, you know, we're thinking instead of this, these these abundant You know, this idea that the future is always going to be great, we're looking at the next frontier, we're setting space shuttles up all the time, right? | ||
| You know, that's my childhood. | ||
| Now, I take my kids to Cape Canaveral, the space shuttles are in museums, and Elon Musk and Bezos are like doing something, but we're not really sure if it's real or not, you know? | ||
| It doesn't feel the same, or it doesn't have that same sort of national ethos behind it, the same way that the space shuttle program did. | ||
| And there's this question of, like, what team am I on? | ||
| Or some people question, are you the left or the right? | ||
| You know, I don't even remember anyone talking like that when I was younger. | ||
| It's like, yeah, you know, I voted for Democrat. | ||
| I voted for Republican this time because I like this team better. | ||
| I like this political form better. | ||
| But there wasn't this idea that, you know, you had to be on one side all the time, 24-7. | ||
| And so the question, you know, really psychologically speaking is, is that something that's downstream of economics? | ||
| The same way that, you know, we say politics is downstream from culture, but is culture downstream from economics? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's obviously all really intermingled, but there's something interesting there about resources contracting and then people really wanting to almost oust people from their side. | ||
| It's almost like this biological response. | ||
| There's less for all of us, so we need to find a reason to expel people so that there's more for me. | ||
| It is fascinating. | ||
| And I think, ironically enough, that actually exacerbates the problem, too, because the less people are working together, the less able they are to build up the economic resources that would allow for them to not have to oust people. | ||
| You know, historically, part of what would get people ousted, too, is getting sick, illness, communicable diseases. | ||
| You know, you throw them out of the castle. | ||
| Five-year-old has symptoms? | ||
| Throw them out. | ||
| Even if it's your sister's son or whatever. | ||
| We need only look at Chicken Society to learn our important lesson. | ||
| When a chicken gets sick or is hobbled or weak, they go nuts. | ||
| They attack it. | ||
| They'll kill it. | ||
| Now, it's really interesting, though, because something I just said a moment ago, I want to walk back a little bit or at least expand upon, because I mentioned that when you start ousting people or purging them from your group, people aren't working together, so you're less likely to develop the economic prosperity. | ||
| That would be necessary for people to live in harmony, but I wonder if that's a correction mechanism because it's very much possible, and I would say probably a concrete fact, that once people are really economically prosperous, they become much less selective about the kind of behavior that they're willing to tolerate. | ||
| We see this in very developed countries. | ||
| The moral fabric tends to begin to dissipate. | ||
| And so maybe hard economic times are a correction mechanism for that and people sort of returning to a structure where they are more selective about the kind of behavior they'll tolerate because it can't continue forever with anyone doing whatever they want or else the entire system gets destroyed. | ||
| It was bad morals that got us into this economic returning place, it seems like. | ||
| Something really weird happened in the past five years with a dramatic cultural shift. | ||
| And it's funny, we bring it up from time to time, but left and right are meaningless at this point. | ||
| Sort of. | ||
| I mean, sure, we use them as tribal signifiers for the most part. | ||
| They're relative. | ||
| I've said this before, I do think that the left in many ways are descendants Of the initial left, when I just look at this main common threat from the left at the time of the French Revolution, when the term was first coined, has always existed to oppose the Catholic Church and its values in battle against tradition. | ||
| And that's still true today of the left. | ||
| But there's this really strange shift that happened. | ||
| So just before the show, I played the song Hit That by The Offspring. | ||
| And I'm like, if you listen to those lyrics, it sounds like a very conservative song. | ||
| It's talking about the consequences of hookup culture. | ||
| And I'm like, if you were in an article right now, no joke, take The Offspring, punk band, pop punk, mainstream, whatever, but this is 2003, take that song. | ||
| Take the lyrics and turn it into an article. | ||
| So when they say like, you know, the consequences are a life away, you can say like your work work. | ||
| Imagine putting into like a relationship article. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, you'd be called far right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You'd be called far right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Criticizing Tinder and hookup culture and misogynistic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| She's internalized patriarchy, toxic purity culture. | ||
| You know anti-female Self-hatred if it was written by a female, you know, what | ||
| about her? She's internalized patriarchy pure toxic purity culture | ||
| One of my favorite punk rock songs is why don't you get a job? I know I know it's pop punk. It's not like | ||
| Yeah, so, you know, I was I thought about this before I tweeted about it several months ago | ||
| But I was thinking about again about how do we get to how do what happened? | ||
| You know, what happened? | ||
| Did Trump, like, take a sledgehammer to the system? | ||
| Did the multiverse shatter and different realities merged and just, like, nothing makes sense anymore? | ||
| Technological. | ||
| I'm racking my brain for what changed technologically. | ||
| Six, seven years ago. | ||
| It's the streaming capability. | ||
| That's something. | ||
| What were you going to say? | ||
| Well, so no. | ||
| So, you know, that whole bit sort of, you know, everybody under 40 knows that this all started with Harambe, but we're not sure why. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You know, but actually I was talking to a friend of mine recently who shall remain nameless, but he actually had a good answer for why we all sort of agree that it's Harambe and what You know, he looked at Harambe as a symbol of society is just subtly out to get you and they will just kill you for no reason. | ||
| Even though, not to get into whether or not Harambe should have been killed, but you know, because the kids in there and all, but that just sort of the larger meta narrative that's going on there, that you could be hanging out one day and that society will just come and boom, like a meat cleaver. | ||
| I hear the theory, I respect it, but I think the more obvious theory is just that Harambe was an interdimensional Time Lord who was holding together the multiverse. | ||
| No, no, this is for the members thing. | ||
| You're gonna get us banned again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are you doing? | |
| You're gonna shut down completely over here. | ||
| The guy who killed Harambe was like a secret agent sent from like another dimension. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And like, you know, he walks in like a Terminator. | |
| Takes his glasses off. | ||
| The kid that Virata was trying to protect. | ||
| He's like a future leader. | ||
| I don't know if Virata was trying to protect the kid. | ||
| I've actually seen a really good one, a really good meme of this recently. | ||
| Quick child, you need to understand, Dr. Fauci is improving experiments with the Wuhan Institute of... You've got to warn... He's out. | ||
| Which brings us to our next story actually. Thank you Harambe for the segue. | ||
| House Republicans demand answers about why Facebook censored lab leak theories | ||
| after it emerged that Mark Zuckerberg was emailing Dr. | ||
| Anthony Fauci. | ||
| Look man, do we have a conspiracy fact at some point? | ||
| I saw a really funny meme from somebody where it shows, it was like 2018 and it was like conspiracy theorists and it's a picture of the guy like all crazy. | ||
| And then the next picture says, it says 2021 conspiracy analyst. | ||
| He's wearing a suit and glasses and he's all like respectable looking. | ||
| Because, okay, so now what do we have? | ||
| Behind the scenes, Fauci and Big Tech and these labs were all saying things they were saying the opposite of publicly. | ||
| Like, at a certain point, is there at least... Can we call it, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being, like, the least and 10 being the worst, it's a level 1 conspiracy? | ||
| Like, not a whole lot going on. | ||
| I'm not gonna pretend it's the apocalypse. | ||
| But certainly Mark Zuckerberg was colluding with Dr. Fauci to censor factual information, right? | ||
| That's surreptitious. | ||
| That's unethical. | ||
| That's amoral. | ||
| Happening behind the scenes between powerful interests to suppress the public from communicating. | ||
| Well, the one with Tim, that's been debunked. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's been debunked! | |
| If there is one thing I learned over the past five or so years, it's that something can very quickly go from conspiracy theory to fact. | ||
| I mean, if you asked me at the beginning of Trump's administration if the deep state would attempt to unseat a democratically elected leader, I'd be like, come on, that's crazy talk. | ||
| And then if you asked me if there was an international global pedophile who had ties to virtually every politician in the country, or a large number of them, I'd be like, that seems a little bit out there. | ||
| And then if you told me the guards would fabricate records and fall asleep or whatever, and then he would die in his jail cell, I'd be like, get out of here, dude. | ||
| We do not live in a movie. | ||
| You want to know what's really funny? | ||
| That one, I'm like, have you ever been around the federal government before? | ||
| I do want to say one point, just don't forget what you're going to say. | ||
| We shouldn't, okay, we got to call it, when you put out the theory, you're bunking, and then the journalists will try to debunk, and then after they're proven wrong, it's re-bunking. | ||
| Re-bunking? | ||
| Yeah, re-bunking. | ||
| No, that on top of everything that's just gone on with these leaks from Dr. Fauci. | ||
| Tim, that's absolutely re-bunkulous. | ||
| Re-bunkulous. | ||
| And all of the information about the pandemic we were told was just conspiracy theory, much of which turned out to be true. | ||
| It just seems to me that the difference between a conspiracy theory and a fact is like three months to a year. | ||
| Conspiracy analyst. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm not big into conspiracy theory by any means, but it's just disturbing to see so many things that I would have shrugged off years ago as insane nonsense being proven totally correct. | ||
| Well, so, you know, a lot of this, you know, I think comes down for a lot of people. | ||
| It's pattern recognition, right? | ||
| So I remember those initial task force meetings that, you know, Fauci was airing and sometimes Pence would be leading it. | ||
| Sometimes Trump would be there and it would, you know, get into a huge Um, you know, combativeness with the media, and they would be asking him all sorts of awful questions, etc, etc. | ||
| But I actually would pay attention to Fauci and Burks, who is like totally gone now. | ||
| When they were talking about this, and why is, you know, why is it that COVID-19 spread so quickly? | ||
| You remember, we were always told it's the spike proteins and the ACE2 receptors, and it's the ability of the spike proteins to affect these ACE2 receptors in human lungs, and they fit so perfectly, and that's why it's able to spread so well in humans, right? | ||
| That was the idea. | ||
| You get the droplets on you, and that's it. | ||
| Droplets? | ||
| I was trying to do that without saying the word droplets. | ||
| And so that, but that's, that's, you're hearing this all the time. | ||
| And I said, Oh, that's, that's interesting. | ||
| And that's, that's, that's very good. | ||
| I'm going to write that down. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And, and then when the Wuhan lab started coming up and we started looking into this, they took down their database very quickly, but we were able to find archived copies of this now. | ||
| And some of it I'm reading in Mandarin, some of it we're able to translate. | ||
| But when you're looking at some of the actual. | ||
| tests and research that was done and has been published in the literature. | ||
| You say, well, okay, what, what, you know, what is gain of function research? | ||
| The heck, a year ago, I couldn't have told you what that meant, right? | ||
| Maybe even two years ago. | ||
| And you say, well, they were trying to, they modified mice to give them this ACE2 receptor in their lungs. | ||
| And then they were using gain-of-function research with, to essentially speed up the development of these coronaviruses that they had, you know, collected from this mine, an abandoned mine or cave system in a Kunming area that had spike proteins to, so that they would have spike proteins. | ||
| And I had said, Huh, wasn't that the same thing that the guy was talking about before with the two and you know, right? | ||
| This is me just complete layman here, but these are the same two terms that I just heard from the task force meeting. | ||
| So what's going on with that? | ||
| That was the Wuhan lab doing that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Okay, so now let's debunk something of our own here. | ||
| Well, actually, credit goes to Daily Mail. | ||
| No bats or pangolins were sold at Wuhan wet markets immediately before COVID-19 pandemic started, Oxford study says. | ||
| Research looked at 50,000 animals traded in Wuhan from 2017 to November 2019. | ||
| Scientists found no evidence of bats or pangolins kept in the markets in the city. | ||
| But they say other animals traded could have easily spread COVID-19. | ||
| Okay, well, then the wet market bat thing. | ||
| Debunked, right? | ||
| According to them, yeah. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| I read that article, I shared it today, I shared the study, and... But as a guy who had spent a couple years living in China, I'm familiar with the wet markets, it always seemed completely insane to me that people would eat food that came out of these things. | ||
| Bro, have you seen gutter oil? | ||
| Gutter oil? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| I've heard about this. | ||
| It's where they harvest used oil from sewer lines, filter out the garbage, and then boil it and use it for cooking. | ||
| Where do they do this? | ||
| In China. | ||
| I've probably had it. | ||
| I've probably had it. | ||
| There are times where I'm eating street food where they're like, hey, I know you're going to lie when I ask you what kind of meat this is, so just don't even tell me anything. | ||
| It's probably rat. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's what people say. | ||
| Not knowingly, not deliberately, not intentionally, certainly not intentionally. | ||
| There was, I remember there was one place in Shanghai and a couple of the guys I was over with, you know, when I started out doing a study abroad there and then I ended up staying, but there were a couple of guys who went in and said, Hey, I had dog, right? | ||
| And it's like, how was it? | ||
| It's kind of stringy. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But anyway, going back, how could you know? | ||
| For the past three years, exactly which animals were in this wet market and which ones were not, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| How can you really tell that there were no bats or no pangolins at all in this market? | ||
| That just, to me, that sounds like a bridge too far. | ||
| And I know that it certainly kind of fits in with what everyone's been saying. | ||
| And I think there's actually a lot better evidence to talk about. | ||
| For me, the one I can't get past in terms of lab leak theory is How do you get a disease outbreak that's directly related to bats, or at least bats with one, what do they call it, transmission vector animal in the middle, without it affecting any local populations that live in close proximity to any of these things? | ||
| You're talking about the middle of a downtown urban center. | ||
| And I've read some of the, you know, like the Nature Journal articles talking about this. | ||
| They say, well, you know, Wuhan's in a, it's in a, it's in a broad region. | ||
| What do you mean it's a broad region? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Every region is broad. | ||
| If your aperture is wide enough, it doesn't make any sense. | ||
| So this is a huge urban industrialized area. | ||
| Like show me the town where this broke out. | ||
| That's near the bat caves that has the animals, right? | ||
| The zoonotic response. | ||
| Like that's what I'm waiting for that I'm looking at. | ||
| Let's talk about a crazy, uh, I hate the word conspiracy theory because what I'm going to describe right now is not a conspiracy in any sense of the imagination. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is it? | |
| What is it? | ||
| Just that it's obvious that there is a surface news world and a warf- like a governmental | ||
| news world. | ||
| Meaning there's top secret confidential secret information we don't have access to. | ||
| So when- Currently. | ||
| I mean, it comes out eventually, or we hope it does. | ||
| But right now, in the U.S. | ||
| government, in the Chinese government, they are dealing with a level of information that we can't see. | ||
| So we're on the surface. | ||
| You know, I'm willing to bet that there's some, like, NSA guy sitting in his room right now watching the show, because he loves it, and him and his buddies are just, like, drinking and laughing, being like, they're so wrong about all of this! | ||
| China's on the moon, and we've got, you know, underwater bases, and... | ||
| I'm not saying it's actually that crazy. | ||
| Having been in that world, you know, I hate to say that, but like, I can't, I'm not allowed to confirm directly, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| But it's, it's not, it's not that, it's not that far removed from reality. | ||
| I'm just saying like, it's pretty close. | ||
| It's pretty close. | ||
| So when we're like, oh man, you know, the, the, the air force moving these planes. | ||
| There's somebody who's like, oh, well, actually, we're doing this. | ||
| We're not going to publicly say what we're doing with our Air Force. | ||
| That's what confused me about how they told us that all the Air Force is now spread out around the Pacific and that we're re-diverting a weaponry from Middle East to China. | ||
| Like, why would we be told that? | ||
| Why would the world now be told all that information? | ||
| Well, that's, I mean, for a variety of reasons. | ||
| Number one, number one, though, is show force. | ||
| Yeah, it's like bravado. | ||
| You can't hide a B-52 bomber, right? | ||
| You can't hide an aircraft carrier. | ||
| So that what you're talking about, that's a survivability operation. | ||
| So you're separating your force. | ||
| You can even see this on a smaller scale where like, when the Syria strikes were going on, or and then you know, the US kind of telegraphed that, hey, we're probably going to strike there. | ||
| You would see the Syrian Air Force. | ||
| They'd all take off because they didn't know which base was going to get hit, but they knew it's going to be one of them. | ||
| So part of it, it's it's it's sending a message. | ||
| It's posturing. | ||
| A lot of this stuff gets gets done on a very regular basis. | ||
| It goes back to even the Clinton administration when when China threatened Taiwan during some of their first presidential elections or some of the more contentious presidential elections. | ||
| You know, you would see this, but it it doesn't necessarily mean that it's leading towards kinetic action. | ||
| Jack. | ||
| You, you know things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do. | |
| You have been chosen, unfortunately. | ||
| Are rods from God real? | ||
| Well, define, I mean, which, which kinds? | ||
| Do we have satellites loaded with tungsten rods to drop on? | ||
| Oh, the tungsten rods. | ||
| Yeah, they call them rods from God. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, that one. | ||
| No, because I've heard that also used with the, like, different types of, like, directed energy. | ||
| It was in G.I. | ||
| Joe, the second one, where Cobra Commander takes control of the satellite, and then it drops a tungsten rod, which then slams into the earth and blows up London. | ||
| We have some cool satellite stuff. | ||
| Not that I've never seen anything like that, but we have some pretty cool satellite stuff. | ||
| I'm waiting for that Starlink. | ||
| So I looked into it. | ||
| We're actually supposed to wait any minute. | ||
| Yeah, because this would be an area where Starlink is supposed to serve. | ||
| We would publicize it every day, too. | ||
| That'd be awesome. | ||
| Can someone call Elon and be like, get these guys Starlink? | ||
| Because I paid for it. | ||
| We're on the waiting list. | ||
| So how does it work? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So people know what it is, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's, it's, it's high speed, low latency was like gigabit internet for satellite, right? | ||
| And they send you a box. | ||
| You just open the satellite thing, plug it in and you put it by the window, I guess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| So it was the idea of satellite TV, right? | ||
| But with your internet connection. | ||
| Yeah, so the thing about standard internet... We have a satellite internet backup system. | ||
| For some reason, it didn't work the past few days, but it's like 5 megabits up. | ||
| So it's really difficult to actually do a broadcast. | ||
| But it works. | ||
| It'll be grainy, low-res. | ||
| With Starlink, it would be broadcast quality for pennies on the dollar. | ||
| This is what makes Elon's Starlink so competitive. | ||
| We're on the waiting list, so from right now until the end of the year, at any moment, the box could arrive. | ||
| I don't know if there's somebody, you know, can we call somebody and be like, hey, you know, just like, look, we're on the list. | ||
| Invite Elon on the show. | ||
| Tell him, hey, you can, you can manipulate whatever, you know, crypto you want to. | ||
| Just let us know which one to buy. | ||
| And, you know, give you, give you five minutes. | ||
| And, you know, I don't, I don't know if you smoke in here or not. | ||
| Like the Rogan. | ||
| Family friendly. | ||
| Family friendly. | ||
| Oh, sorry. | ||
| Sorry, Elon. | ||
| Of course we'd love to have Elon on, but like I'll settle for getting a Starlink so we never lose internet again. | ||
| So we can do the show. | ||
| That'd be cool if we did our first Starlink show with Elon. | ||
| Oh, that'd be so fun. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be rad. | ||
| That's what you gotta do. | ||
| So it's apparently sold out now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah, so in this area, cause like we're kind of in the middle of nowhere. | ||
| It's like an hour and a half from DC. | ||
| So it's like, when you look on the map, it's just like, you can't really tell because DC's massive and we're just like a tiny little blip away. | ||
| But mountains, trees, it's like basically West Virginia. | ||
| Just a bunch of, you know, Trump-supporting, you know, right-wing nutjobs who live out here for the most part. | ||
| Well, did you see that tweet from Virginia Heffernan from the LA Times earlier today talking about the gun ownership for the 50-mile radius? | ||
| No, she was saying she was saying, I think I guess she was like buying a house or just looking at this this issue. | ||
| She's talking about she's totally ridiculous. | ||
| She's the one who had the Trump supporting neighbor who was shoveling her lawn and she was like, or something or driving like, I don't know if I should thank him. | ||
| What should I say to this? | ||
| Did he really shovel my driveway? | ||
| Is the snow actually gone? | ||
| Did he shovel it out of hate? | ||
| I mean, it was white snow, so, you know, and perhaps he's building some sort of, you know, snow wall. | ||
| So no, she had a tweet up today where she was saying in real estate listings, they should, this is the LA Times columnist, she's worked at Wired, that they should include how many people own guns around you for a 50 mile radius. | ||
| And then, you know, correct me if I'm getting any of this wrong, and then include a list of all the mass shootings | ||
| that have taken place in conjunction. | ||
| Now, obviously, having a list of all the gunners is completely illegal. | ||
| But also, like... | ||
| There are websites you can look at for criminal reports in a particular area as well. | ||
| That's what I was saying. I just, I just quote tweeted and I was like, yeah, who wants to tell her? | ||
| Because I'm willing to bet that in some of the lowest crime radiuses of the United States, there's a ton of law abiding | ||
| gun owners. | ||
| It depends on the crime, right? | ||
| So out here there's a whole lot of drugs. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But it's like people strung out. | ||
| I'm guessing, I might be reading between the lines, I'm pretty sure she means violent crime. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| She actually says gun violence. | ||
| Oh, she says gun violence in there, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, actually, I'm pretty sure it's a lot safer out here. | ||
| I'd be more worried about Chicago. | ||
| Lots of gun laws and lots of people shooting each other. | ||
| Like West Virginia's constitutional carry and people like... I hear gunshots all the time. | ||
| You know, the other day... Yeah, Baltimore's not that far away, though. | ||
| Well, so this is something I explained a while ago. | ||
| When I live in New York and I hear gunshots, that freaks me out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Because you're not supposed to. | ||
| Also, it's a really dense urban area. | ||
| Like, what are they shooting? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Out here, it's like, I wake up and there's gunshots. | ||
| Actually, I wake up and I'm kind of worried when there aren't gunshots. | ||
| I'm like, oh, the neighbor's not out. | ||
| Is something wrong? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Neighbors are just, you know... I'm worried about the neighbors, man. | ||
| Yeah, one time I think one of the neighbors came out with his kids because it was just like, sounded like, it sounded full auto, but it was just like four people just shooting all at the same time. | ||
| That should be legal. | ||
| There's places in West Virginia where you can do that. | ||
| Some of the training I did when I was still in the intelligence community, we did out in a spot in West Virginia where they were able to get licenses and permits to shoot. | ||
| We shot some pretty fun stuff. | ||
| Oh yeah, we just shot 50 BMG a couple weeks ago. | ||
| There's a range in Georgia where you can shoot full auto. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Really expensive, but it's great. | ||
| There's a thing they do at DEFCON, which is the Hacker Convention, where in the early days they go out into the Mojave and they set up a bunch of guns. | ||
| And when I went there several years ago, that was like 8 years ago maybe now, This guy had a, like, belt-fed 7.62, I think. | ||
| And it was like, you gotta pay for the rounds yourself, and then have at it. | ||
| So he had big boxes of, you know, belts, and it's like... M24? | ||
| I don't know which gun it was. | ||
| He had, like, three different ones. | ||
| And they were just like, people were like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was awesome. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, we did. | ||
| We did that this place down with Ashley St. | ||
| Clair, and we were outside of outside of Houston. | ||
| They call it Hella Bacon, where you can you you can actually get permits to go up and do this. | ||
| And a company that runs it is totally not commercial, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| But you so they do one range day where you can just I mean, anything you want to shoot, literally anything up to and including a minigun RPG. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| You can do an RPG. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
| Um, and then the next day you get up super early, in a helicopter, they take you up to shoot wild hogs. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| With full auto AR-15s, and you're flying over the ranch, and the ranchers want you to do this. | ||
| Full auto AR-15s? | ||
| Full auto AR-15s. | ||
| Modified or what? | ||
| Uh, they're modified. | ||
| It's like fire. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow! | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Isn't that just an M16? | ||
| No, no, because they're still the compact. | ||
| Yeah, a lot of people don't understand how bad hogs are. | ||
| It's horrible. | ||
| So the ranchers want you up there doing it, right? | ||
| This is an invasive species. | ||
| They are pests. | ||
| They tear it up. | ||
| They kill. | ||
| They can go after livestock. | ||
| But it's wild and people don't realize the culture difference because On your way to these ranches, you know, you're, you're flying there and you're up in the air above, you know, I'm looking down like this. | ||
| There's a talent right below me. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, and now it's Texas. | ||
| So, you know, you, you pop off there, you're gonna start shooting back. | ||
| This is my thing on the great reset. | ||
| I'm totally, it's totally different from the East coast kind of mentality. | ||
| If the Great Reset is limited to if you live in big cities, you eat the bugs and live in the pod, I'll be like, okay. | ||
| Like, if you have a choice to live in these awful places, sure, whatever, people can choose to do that. | ||
| There are always going to be hogs to hunt. | ||
| It is impossible to get rid of them. | ||
| It's impossible to get rid of them. | ||
| It's open season on them basically everywhere where they exist and they still can't keep the numbers down. | ||
| We were up there for hours and they just kept coming. | ||
| Yeah, we just had we stopped because we're running we're running low on fuel and we're like well We got flight out any anybody who's familiar with any kind of MMORPG knows that you know, there's hogs. | ||
| They're just responding Level up, you know, so I know so my level I mean I came in pretty low like I was like a level as Much South Park got this wrong You can't just kill hogs boars to level up because as soon as once you're a few levels above them You stop getting experience for doing it You were well-rested though, so you got an XP bonus? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Eventually gotta go for the most dangerous good. | ||
| Like the boss hog? | ||
| The boss hog. | ||
| You gotta find the boss hog. | ||
| Giant, 20 foot. | ||
| So they had coyotes as well. | ||
| Hunting coyotes? | ||
| We had coyotes out there as well, yeah. | ||
| You know what they need? | ||
| Wolves. | ||
| We can find them. | ||
| The issue is that, uh, in a lot of places, with wolves being displaced, because they were a threat to us, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so they fled. | ||
| Then you get invasive species running rampant, deer population explodes. | ||
| Man, people don't understand why, uh, you hunt deer, and they're, and these city people- It's also true. | ||
| Yeah, I'll put it this way. | ||
| I'd be willing to bet, let's do a study, that if you went to a city and asked this question, okay, here's a question for you, Jack. | ||
| You see a butterfly caught in a spider's web. | ||
| Do you free it? | ||
| Me, personally, no. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Because I know that that spider is going to be there. | ||
| It's going to then consume the butterfly and all those other pests and gnats and... | ||
| I don't know if a spider would go after a cicada, but maybe. | ||
| So the idea is a filtration system. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'd be willing to bet that if you go to a city or if you go to like a liberal and ask, | ||
| they'd free the butterfly. | ||
| Whereas a conservative wouldn't. | ||
| Because obviously we understand the beauty of the butterfly. | ||
| I could be wrong. | ||
| I could be totally wrong about this. | ||
| Maybe liberals are just ruthless and they're like, kill them both or something crazy. | ||
| I don't really think that. | ||
| I think they typically would be like, the butterfly is an important pollinator and it's beautiful and a part of nature and it shouldn't die to a spider. | ||
| A spider can eat anything else. | ||
| And so a lot of conservatives would probably just be like, circle of life, you know? | ||
| The spider eats the bugs, eats the pests, butterfly or not. | ||
| So that's a difference in mentality. | ||
| I think about, you know, so we're city folk out here. | ||
| We had a deer feeder and they were like, oh, you're going to kill some deer. | ||
| And we're like, no, I'm just going to feed them. | ||
| I'm like, why? | ||
| They're pests. | ||
| No, they're like, they're awful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We hate them. | |
| That's exactly what it was like. | ||
| They overpopulate. | ||
| They destroy crops. | ||
| They destroy trees. | ||
| They need to, the population levels need to be kept down. | ||
| Otherwise they get diseased and ridden with like nasty parasites. | ||
| They starve to death. | ||
| And so they're like, don't just feed them. | ||
| And I'm like, well, the good news is they don't like the deer feeder. | ||
| The birds do. | ||
| And they're like, oh, the birds are fine. | ||
| Hey, we had this growing up. | ||
| Valley Forge Park was always a huge place for us to go on weekends. | ||
| Ended up actually got engaged, got married right near there. | ||
| But because it's federal protected, it's a federal park, a national park, the deer know this. | ||
| And so they know if they go in, they go in there. | ||
| Well, they know that this is like a safe area, right? | ||
| So you get to the point where, I mean, when it's dusk, you like can't drive around, right? | ||
| Because the deer are everywhere and they're tearing up all this stuff. | ||
| And a lot of the land right there, that's actual, you know, some of it, it's some of these dirt forts and different fortifications that were made by the actual continental army under George Washington during that winter. | ||
| Philadelphia has fallen, the British have taken it. | ||
| This is prior to the crossing of the Delaware and the Battle of Trenton, or just before that, I should say. | ||
| These deer are tearing up actual US history, and this is Pennsylvania, so people are like, Can we go after the deer, please? | ||
| And the federal government had to do this whole like permit system to let people go in and then hire guys from like the USDA to come in. | ||
| So there's actually like a deer death squad, basically. | ||
| I believe it's under USDA from years ago. | ||
| And I'm like, how do you sign up? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Which department are you with? | ||
| USDA, you step aside, the deer's ours. | ||
| Step aside, kid man. | ||
| Step aside, baby. | ||
| I hope you're all sitting down because this might infuriate you, but this morning I saw a deer and it was eating our mulberries. | ||
| What? | ||
| It was eating our mulberries? | ||
| Tim, what are guns for? | ||
| I know! | ||
| Defending the mulberry. | ||
| And I was shaking like, I can't kill Bambi! | ||
| And it was like, your mulberries are mine! | ||
| Don't worry, it was Bambi's mom. | ||
| We have pawpaw trees out here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you guys know what pawpaws are? | |
| That's like Simpsons. Don't don't let their bovine nature fool you. | ||
| Given the chance a cow would kill you and your entire family. | ||
| We have pawpaw trees out here. | ||
| Do you guys know what pawpaws are? | ||
| They're like, I guess they're like mango and banana combined. | ||
| Oh, yeah. Yeah. | ||
| It's like the only fruit of that type in North America or something. | ||
| So we have this tree. | ||
| And I remember seeing like the deer were always crowding on our driveway | ||
| because there's a tree right there. | ||
| And, you know, in August and September, whatever, all these fruits are there. | ||
| And they're like they're in the middle of the road. | ||
| So no, no, for real. | ||
| Like when you're coming down at night, there's no streetlights or anything. | ||
| No, no. You got to be real careful. | ||
| And then you see him standing there really dumb. | ||
| Yep. They just like they'll walk up to the car, just stare at you as you're like, | ||
| hey, like, what's this? I'm like, heck. | ||
| Yeah, like, we talk about Darwin Awards, but no, really. | ||
| There's just too many of them. | ||
| We got turkeys, too. | ||
| We got a lot of turkeys. | ||
| Yeah, I've seen them walking around in the woods, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Sticking up on you. | ||
| Yeah, they walk up to you and start pushing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're like... Alright, I'm just trying to get back to the house. | |
| I was unprepared for how well you gobbled. | ||
| No, but it's the same thing when you talk to people out here. | ||
| They're like, turkeys, huh? | ||
| We can help you out with that. | ||
| And I'm like, what's the problem? | ||
| They're like, turkeys are pests. | ||
| Like, you gotta get rid of them. | ||
| They're like, turkeys are bad people, Tim. | ||
| Then like, they have a video of turkeys spray painting a property. | ||
| Turkeys are just spray painting and vandalizing a property. | ||
| It's like the beginning of one of those cop shows and you see that Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's the turkeys. | ||
| Of course it was the turkeys. | ||
| He just like sniffed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude. | |
| The turkeys were up. | ||
| Someone saw a mountain lion out here. | ||
| Yeah, out where rare. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not cool. | |
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like really, really. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Which is, I don't know why. | ||
| It's rare. | ||
| It happens. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But we were told that on this side of the river, because if you guys have ever played any MMORPG, you know that certain mobs can only spawn on certain sides of the river. | ||
| Like if you're in... Different zones. | ||
| Yeah, like, if you're in Elwynn Forest, you know that the boars and the gnolls don't spawn in Darkshire, and the ghouls don't spawn in Elwynn. | ||
| So, uh, across the river from us, there's, like, bears, and it's, like, way more serious, because it's West Virginia, but in the Maryland side, they're, like, you don't gotta worry about anything. | ||
| It's, like, deer. | ||
| It's, like, really low-level stuff. | ||
| But every so often a bear or a bobcat or a mountain lion will be spotted. | ||
| And so people were saying, like, not too far from here in this area in Western Maryland, they spotted like a mountain lion or whatever. | ||
| So they're like, you got to be careful. | ||
| Now think about that. | ||
| You live out one of these houses. | ||
| You get an alert. | ||
| You see on Facebook, like, guys, we got a report from the local authorities. | ||
| There's a mountain lion spotted in the area. | ||
| Please be armed and safe. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| Please be armed and safe. | ||
| And now you get these laws. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Air 15, come on man, ain't nobody need 15, you know, 10 rounds. | |
| And then people are like, if you can't hit it in 10 rounds, you shouldn't be shooting at it. | ||
| Okay, so I'm not a professional military man or law enforcement guy, but I want to keep my friends and family safe from a mountain lion. | ||
| And if it takes me more, look, maybe I'm really bad and I'm like trying to protect myself from a mountain lion. | ||
| Yeah, maybe I need to have a standard capacity magazine of 30 rounds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you're not a marksman, your whole family should die if someone breaks in. | |
| That's right. | ||
| If a mountain lion breaks in. | ||
| Given that situation, I mean, you know, I have a good military background, but I've never considered myself to be like, you know, like, There's certain, I don't know, like, as you call them influencers, pundits out there that are like really focused on Second Amendment and shooting and like that's their whole thing. | ||
| I love them. | ||
| They're great guys. | ||
| I've always been more like the current events, breaking news kind of guy, but just to, you know, defend the AR-15 for a second, right? | ||
| that you're talking about a firearms platform, where the reason so many people use it is because it is versatile. | ||
| And because it is something that has a great accuracy for someone who is a hobbyist for someone who is, you know, just getting kind of getting into guns, that you're going to have a better propensity for actually hitting your target rat rather than you're using like, like a Glock or a .45, any 9mm, any handgun, right? | ||
| Certainly at a greater distance, right? | ||
| You are going to put your rounds on target in a safer, more controlled situation with an AR-15 than you would with almost any other firearm out there, speaking generally. | ||
| Think about this. | ||
| Do you guys remember the story about the guy who went to the Empire State Building and it was like a revenge killing? | ||
| It was a disgruntled employee. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| So he goes to the Empire State Building, he's all angry, and then he takes a handgun and he shoots a bunch of people. | ||
| He leaves the building, and the NYPD, they run up to stop him, and they start firing wildly, hitting like seven or so people. | ||
| Oh yeah, I remember that part of the story. | ||
| When was this? | ||
| Let me see if I can pull it up. | ||
| Two or three years ago, I think? | ||
| I totally don't remember this. | ||
| It's kind of tragic. | ||
| I think seven people got hit? | ||
| That's my guess. | ||
| I'm guessing it's seven people other than the guy there. | ||
| Yeah, they didn't hit the guy. | ||
| It's 2012. | ||
| All Empire State shooting victims were wounded by officers, according to police. | ||
| So, on a busy Friday morning... Let's pull this off. | ||
| Let's jump into the story. | ||
| How long ago did this happen? | ||
| This is CNN from 2012. | ||
| What month? | ||
| August. | ||
| And so they say... I was in training for Gitmo back then, so I missed a couple. | ||
| All Empire State shooting victims were wounded by officers. | ||
| On a busy Friday morning in Manhattan, nine pedestrians suffered bullet or fragment wounds after police unleashed a hail of gunfire at a man walking with a .45 caliber pistol who had just killed a former co-worker. | ||
| The officers unloaded 16 rounds in the shadow of the Empire State building at a disgruntled former apparel designer, killing him after he engaged in a gun battle with police, authorities said. | ||
| Three passerbys sustained direct gunshot wounds, while the remaining six were hit by fragments, according to the New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. | ||
| All injuries were caused by police. | ||
| All injuries were caused by police! | ||
| One officer shot nine rounds and another shot seven. | ||
| Police identified the gunman as Jeffrey Johnson, 58, who was apparently laid off from his job as a designer of women's accessories at Hazan Import Co. | ||
| last year. | ||
| Johnson served in the U.S. | ||
| Coast Guard in the mid-70s, had two rounds left in his pistol, and holds eight, Kelly said. | ||
| Now, I just want to point something out. | ||
| What do you think would have happened if those officers had rifles? | ||
|
unidentified
|
AR-15s. | |
| I mean, you can never say right, but if they're going at range and this guy's moving, if he's, you know, if he's being furtive, if he's trying to, you know, use cover and concealment, they would have had a better, just talking based on the numbers, they would have had a better chance of hitting him directly with the AR-15. | ||
| And let's not even say a 5.56. | ||
| Let's say the police were given a short barrel 9mm with a stock. | ||
| Like, come on, man. | ||
| You know, I understand we want the cops to be armed. | ||
| Oh, well, they would say militarization of the police. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yeah, that would be the response. | ||
| So they're saying, the cops, you know, a Glock 17 or whatever. | ||
| These cops miss! | ||
| It's not an easy thing to do. | ||
| They complain about police brutality. | ||
| It's like, okay, then give them a short-barreled rifle or AR pistol with a stock, and they will be way more accurate. | ||
| One shot fired, guys down. | ||
| Stop the murderer dead in his tracks as he started shooting at cops. | ||
| Less bullets fired, more accurate. | ||
| This is a good example of, like what you're saying. | ||
| That's exactly what I'm talking about, yeah. | ||
| It's not just the idea of militarization of police. | ||
| It's the idea of AR-15s are dangerous! | ||
| It's like, dude, people with handguns? | ||
| I'll admit, maybe it's just me, but rifles way easier. | ||
| I go to the range and I can hit everything with the AR-15. | ||
| Well, you've got a longer barrel, so it's more stable, it's more forgiving, basically, for those little mistakes. | ||
| With a 4-inch barrel on a handgun, you've got to be front sight focused, you've got to be dead on, you have to have your T all the way across. | ||
| Real quick, this is what people don't understand, is that they assume an AR-15 is firing 5.56. | ||
| It's like, get a 9mm rifle. | ||
| Yeah, there are different variants. | ||
| Or a .45 subsonic, slower and more accurate. | ||
| Also, I mean, the vast majority of gun violence is committed with handguns. | ||
| All rifles combined, including the AR-15, kill fewer people every year than hammers do. | ||
| I think sharks too, right? | ||
| It's incredibly rare. | ||
| I don't know about sharks. | ||
| Yeah, that's that's the thing. | ||
| And this is what that judge actually in California recently who struck down the, the firearms ban, the assault, quote unquote, assault weapons. | ||
| Yeah, which it's funny, because like, I'll go to like, you know, any, any gun store online, you type in assault weapon, I can't tell you, I don't sell defense weapons. | ||
| It's weird all day long. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| I walked into a store and I was like, hello, sir, I would like to buy one assault weapon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the man said, that's not... One assault weapon, please. | |
| One assault weapon, please. | ||
| One weapon for assault? | ||
| They're like, leave right now. | ||
| The words you're saying don't make sense. | ||
| The judge in this case, in that, you know, I haven't gone through the whole thing. | ||
| It's really long opinion that he wrote, that he put down. | ||
| But the first part of it, which was driving, you know, sort of like the anti-gun types nuts. | ||
| They say it's called it like a Swiss army knife. | ||
| And it says it's like a Swiss army knife because it's there when you need it. | ||
| And it solves so many different, uh, different situations, different problems, different challenges that arise. | ||
| And the vast majority of this is like, this is the most popular gun in the United States. | ||
| The vast majority of people who use this, uh, never use it to medic to commit a crime. | ||
| They are lawful. | ||
| They are law abiding. | ||
| They're using it safely for lawful legal purposes. | ||
| This is exactly what I've been trying to tell people about my Barrett M82. | ||
| You know, like, what happens if, like, I don't know, an international band of terrorists that, like, the Fast and the Furious crew, they're fighting, and I see this helicopter, and I'm like, look, I gotta protect my property from this international cabal led by Charlize Theron, and so I've got a 50 BMG. | ||
| You never know. | ||
| And she's not gonna be able to hit you from the helicopter. | ||
| I do love this though because like we posted the vlog where I have the Barrett and it's a 50 BMG and we were shooting at a plate or whatever and then these lefties are like, what are you gonna hunt with that? | ||
| And I was like, what does hunting have to do with anything? | ||
| Yeah, hunting. | ||
| You said plate, but for half a second I thought you said plane. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, Tim, what are you doing? | |
| Steal plates. | ||
| We were hoping that it would vaporize the target. | ||
| Because the steel plate was rated for .308, and we were like, if we hit this, it's probably going to block. | ||
| One person, Dan, got a glancing shot, so it just dented it. | ||
| But it was also on a wooden, you know, it was mounted, so it absorbed a lot of the hit. | ||
| There's some places you can go where I've done, and this is in West Virginia, where they'll let you do, like, abandoned cars. | ||
| Oh man, my gosh. | ||
| With the glass in and everything. | ||
| Yeah, we had a BMW and a Mercedes, and we were like, take that, woman said. | ||
| Class war! | ||
| I also got to at one point with one of these things and they just buy these junk cars for you to be able to use and for tactical training they actually got one of the trainings we went through was firing a firing handgun from the driver's seat through the windshield at a target Oh, yeah. | ||
| So learning how the difference of the angle of the windshield versus, you know, your target. | ||
| So, okay, your target's here. | ||
| So you want to shoot center mass, but because of the angle of deflection, you actually want to kind of fire down in a sense. | ||
| So that it bends as it hits the glass and bends up. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Refraction and action. | ||
| Very good. | ||
| And people need, that's crazy. | ||
| It was awesome. | ||
| It was, it was, it was just amazing. | ||
| I always tell people behind the engine block, right? | ||
| So you can do these tests where they'll have the car. | ||
| That was in the George Floyd Square. | ||
| That was when the shooting broke out. | ||
| You can actually hear, and I'm guessing it's some security who's there with like, it was like some British or foreign reporter and he doesn't know what to do. | ||
| And here's this guy just go, get behind the engine block. | ||
| Go, go! | ||
| And that's, yeah, don't hide behind the doors and don't ever do that. | ||
| In the movies, the cops are literally behind the door and I'm like, dude, that's like a millimeter of steel or aluminum. | ||
| Some police cars will have some armor there, but yeah, just don't assume your car isn't up armored. | ||
| You know, if God forbid you're ever in that situation, you engine block all day long. | ||
| However, I don't know if you guys wanted to get into this, the engine block is also what allows for pit maneuvers to take place. | ||
| Oh, that video that came out. | ||
| because yes the engine block is this large chunk of metal right that's right | ||
| in the front of the car but that's also what leaves a car's weight balance | ||
| completely off right so your trunks never going to have more weight than the | ||
| engine there's this video that's going viral where a cop is trying to pull over | ||
| this woman for some like minor traffic violation and he just I think she's | ||
| speeding I think she was speeding so he decides to murder her to just straight | ||
| up kill the woman what so I'm being a bit hyperbolic he performs a pit | ||
| maneuver and flips her vehicle over and crashes it and then he walks over and | ||
| she's like help and he's like pulling her out of the overturned vehicle | ||
| Yeah, you're not even describing it. | ||
| I wouldn't even describe it like that. | ||
| It's it's he so she clearly slow like she speed. | ||
| I would say she's speeding, right? | ||
| Yeah, because I watched the whole video. | ||
| I mean, she definitely looks like she's speeding. | ||
| I can't see any of the other cars on the road. | ||
| So you don't know if she's like going up much faster than everybody else. | ||
| She's clearly going too fast for conditions. | ||
| Um, so he goes to pull her, puts the blinkers on. | ||
| So, but then there's no like shoulder, right? | ||
| There's no safe spot for her to get off. | ||
| So she puts her turn signal on as if she's looking for an exit, but no exit appears. | ||
| So she slows down and there's a very noticeable change in her rate of speed. | ||
| at this point in the video. And she puts her emergency lights on, right? Like, hey, I understand, | ||
| like, she's clearly signaling to the officer that, you know, I acknowledge that you were behind me, | ||
| that you have your lights on. And she's like, just looking for somewhere to do that safely, | ||
| which you would think and he decides to write this up as if she's fleeing and says like, hey, | ||
| I've got a fleeing suspect. I'm I'm within my rights here. | ||
| I'm going to execute a pit maneuver. | ||
| So for people who don't know, a pit maneuver is when you use that, again, as I was talking about, that weight, that imbalance that exists in all cars that, you know, except for the, you can still do it, but the ones that don't have, some cars have the engine in the rear. | ||
| Some Volkswagens used to have it. | ||
| Tesla's can't do it. | ||
| Yeah, you wouldn't be able to do it. | ||
| So another reason to have Elon Musk on. | ||
| And so you use that weight of your engine block to essentially smack the back of another car and have it spin out of control. | ||
| Now in the proper setting, the car is just supposed to spin around so that it can't travel forward and then it stops the vehicle, stops forward progress. | ||
| What happens here is he attempts a pit maneuver while the car is already close to the shoulder, right? | ||
| So that's one of those like a Derek Chauvin thing where like, is that how they teach you to do a pit maneuver? | ||
| Because where's the car going to spin? | ||
| It's obviously going to smack into the shoulder, which it does. | ||
| Then crosses the lanes, hits the other shoulder, head on, the car flips, it's an SUV, flips over, so already a lot of weight imbalance issues inherent in SUVs. | ||
| I used to drive an H2 over this radio station I worked for, and it was like the worst possible thing to ever drive in, right? | ||
| I can imagine. | ||
| Any conditions, and this thing's like wobbling all over, like you never, the death traps, absolute death traps. | ||
| But hey, billboard on wheels, right? And so he gets out of the | ||
| car and he's like strolling up to this thing where, you know, | ||
| and it's one of those look, I you know, I don't know he was thinking I don't want to describe intention based off a | ||
| video but looks bad looks looks really bad looks really bad that | ||
| he does not seem does not seem very, you know, worried that you | ||
| know, he's just flipped a car over and potentially somebody could be injured, dead, or anything. | ||
| And in, I'm certainly, I'm sure this will come up in the case, but he also doesn't seem to perceive a threat because he doesn't, and I go back and watch the video, but he doesn't appear to have his gun drawn. | ||
| And he's, you know, he's not thinking like, oh, this is some hardened criminal that, you know, I have to be worried about. | ||
| So his gun's not drawn. | ||
| He's not approaching stealthily or anything like that. | ||
| He's just sort of, Walk like it's the weirdest thing. | ||
| He's just walking like he's in shock like he thinks he killed somebody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, he seems like indifferent I, yeah, I don't even see that. | |
| And again, you know, that's, that's me looking at a couple seconds of video. | ||
| I can't, I can't tell. | ||
| I'm not going to try to mind read somebody. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| The cop was in the right lane and she had to exit. | ||
| So she sped up to pass him, to get into the right lane, to exit rather than slow down, to get behind him, to exit. | ||
| Like that's an awkward situation where you need to exit and someone's on your right. | ||
| And you got to either, well, I don't think there's an exit at all in the video. | ||
| I don't think there's any exit that comes up. | ||
| Like there's nowhere for her to go basically. | ||
| And it's one of those ones where it's like. | ||
| At that point, if that were me, and I know that there's a cop behind me with his lights on, I would just pull over on the shoulder. | ||
| If I really couldn't find anywhere, because I know that other cars are going to see that, and I'm not getting out of my car anyway, so if he really wants me to pull over and there legitimately isn't anywhere to go, I would just pull over on the shoulder. | ||

| Nicholas Hooker says, did you see Ashley Babbitt's family is suing to release the identity of the officer who killed her? | ||
| Also vote Chiara Terrarelli for NJ Governor. | ||
| I think I did hear that. | ||
| That was a little while ago, right? | ||
| The family was suing? | ||
| Yeah, I think that the, I know there's a lot of speculation over, you know, is it this officer? | ||
| Is that officer? | ||
| I have to imagine in that lawsuit, that name is going to come out. | ||
| Yeah, hope so. | ||
| Jason Q2 says, big ups to CastCastle. | ||

| Hoping members events showcase Tim's speakeasy and casino gaming operation in the basement of Secret Bunker. | ||
| We shall persevere. | ||
| We actually have a poker table. | ||
| Yeah, but it's like it's the gaming table. | ||
| So if like we're playing magic or a board game, you've got like it's a it's a cushion on the edge and you can have a cup holder. | ||
| But I was also thinking, you know, we'll play little fun silly poker games and like we have tokens for the slot machine in the arcade. | ||
| So you can like win that stuff. | ||
| Listen, Sky Matheson never tells anybody where the game's gonna be, but the action's always here, and the action's always here in the Tim Pool House. | ||
| I just want to mention something. | ||
| We're up to 7.7k likes. | ||
| That's great, but it is not what we agreed to, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Let's get 10,000 likes on this video. | ||
| It is Seamus' birthday at some point this year, and also for him. | ||
| You know what I'm even more proud of? | ||
| Not quite, but very proud of the video that Tim and I just released where Tim voices Dr. Fauci. | ||
| It was hysterical. | ||
| We almost cried laughing recording it. | ||
| We were crying laughing. | ||
| Lydia was there. | ||
| Were there any specific words that came up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Droplets! | |
| Droplets coming from my eyes! | ||
| You guys have to watch this video. | ||
| I was very proud of it. | ||
| Tim and I were crying laughing. | ||
| And also, for people who support the show at patreon.com slash freedomtunes, you can watch the behind the scenes of us recording and crying laughing. | ||
| We used this setup right here to do the VO, because after the show finished, I was like, oh, Seamus, do you have that VO you want me to read? | ||
| So we just turned the camera on and filmed it and you can hear Seamus being like, say it like this, say it like this. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, and then I redo it. | ||
| The whole thing is great because it's like, it's like the, it's like a kid and he's breaking up with Dr. Fauci. | ||
| It's like, I don't want you in my life anymore. | ||
| And he's like, if you break up with me, your grandmother will die. | ||
| Don't get talking about you're always hyperbolic don't don't give too much of it away you guys Give away, we won't give away the surprise and I think there's a sequel that's maybe it's right Oh, yeah, we we literally improvised a sequel right after we recorded it and we honestly I think that was even funnier like this one's really funny, but like I Yeah, we I think we were like really crying laughing We were just like coming up with everything on the spot It was and then as as we were walking away James like no I got to record one more thing He runs back and starts recording again. | ||
| I did yeah Like what if Trump said this and then Tim gave it I'll say this yeah, it was very it was very organic. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| Yeah, well We'll see we'll see that the sequel comes out All right, let's see. | ||
| David Maki says UAP Tech can be built in a garage. | ||
| Prove it to yourself. | ||
| You can make a capacitor thruster out of a SI slash graphene wafer and a laser mirror based on quantized inertia theory and the McBecker and Bott Capacitor Thruster XP. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Ian! | ||
| Well, what are you using the laser for? | ||
| To move it around? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Should we build a surf like a hovercraft where we can fly? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Unqualified yes. | ||
| though. Should we build a surf? A surf like, like a like a like a hovercraft where we can fly? Yes. Because we can | ||
| build I don't want to call it qualified. Yes. I don't want to build | ||
| a quadcopter. Have you seen the flying motorcycle where it's | ||
| just two big fans? And you Yeah. | ||
| The problem is controlling left and right is difficult. | ||
| That's why people like doing quad, but maybe you could do two small jets on the side. | ||
| Kind of like how the flight suits work. | ||
| So they're not for lift, they're for stabilization. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then you just have the two big in the front and you could, you know, ride it around. | ||
| Maybe we just build like with the hobgoblin head or the green goblin in Spider-Man. | ||
| Yeah, we'll just build that and we'll fly around. | ||
| And then Ian, you can work on the pumpkin bombs, but we're a family friendly show. | ||
| So it'll just be like whipped cream comes out. | ||
| Sure, yeah, it's tasty. | ||
| That'll be over at Cast Castle. | ||
| This past weekend I went hunting for cicadas. | ||
| I have a gun that shoots salt for bugs, and so I was actually catching the cicadas and then, you know, I was hunting cicadas. | ||
| He really got into it. | ||
| He had like the paint on. | ||
| I was hiding. | ||
| I was in a deer blind waiting for the cicada to come out. | ||
| It was like a belt of cicada heads. | ||
| And then he saw a cicada in front of him, but then one popped out his side. | ||
| I was like, meh! | ||
| Making that cicada noise. | ||
| He's like, clever girl. | ||
| The actual problem is the bug thing. | ||
| It doesn't actually hurt the cicadas. | ||
| It just stuns them. | ||
| It doesn't even stun them. | ||
| It just makes them angrier, dude. | ||
| And then they come after you. | ||
| You don't want an angry cicada on your hands. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I don't. | |
| Dude, they're screams. | ||
| No, no joke. | ||
| Dude, they scream. | ||
| One landed on me, and I was like poking him to get him off. | ||
| And he's just sitting there, and I poke him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's terrifying. | |
| So the lively ones are loud. | ||
| And you get a lot of them together, a whole swarm. | ||
| You'll go by like a tree. | ||
| You know, I tried to do like a bike ride with my kid once a day, and we'll go under the tree. | ||
| And it's just like, And I saw it was so brutal because someone here collected a bunch of a bunch of Cicadas in a jar to feed to the chickens and they just got thrown into the little chicken area and city the chicken city and they're just laying on the ground like | ||
| Like screaming and the chickens are just massacring them. | ||
| Like one chicken is like picking up a cicada and like shaking it around as it's screaming. | ||
| I was like, I'm like, you know, this is why I don't feel bad when I eat chicken at all. | ||
| Yeah, it's horrifying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| What's that, what's that, uh, what's that account? | ||
| Nature is brutal. | ||
| Somebody, somebody mentioned in the chat that I'm building a Zeppelin. | ||
| Uh, that's, that is true and correct. | ||
| The, the, so, uh, if you don't know the story for like years, Wikipedia had a section where it claimed I invented a Zeppelin for live streaming, which I never did. | ||
| And so it finally got removed because they were like, what's the source for this? | ||
| It's like one article from the Guardian. | ||
| So then I was like, just to make a point, I'm now going to actually do it! | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And invent it so they have to put it back. | ||
| I'm going to retroactively make a fake article true. | ||
| And then they can like put it back. | ||
| Living up to the hype. | ||
| What will they do? | ||
| They're like, this article was fake when it was written, but then he eventually did do this. | ||
| So do we use this article? | ||
| You will create like a, like a disclaimer paradox where the disclaimer for the original article that they will have run, they'll need to also disclaim, but in the context of a large, like it'll just be an entire writing story. | ||
| But actually now it's true because he decided to one-up us. | ||
| So this is like what the Beatles used to do with the Paul is Dead stuff. | ||
| Do you guys know about that? | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| So it started as just sort of this thing that a bunch of hippie kids at some US college had gotten into. | ||
| They thought they were secret messages in the Beatles songs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, if you play it backwards it says Paul is a dead man, I miss him. | |
| But then the Beatles found out about it and they were like, Oh, this is the coolest thing. | ||
| So they actually started planting secret messages in their songs. | ||
| And, you know, if you play something backwards and John Lennon was super big into this, that, and it was sort of like, you know, it's, is it art imitating reality kind of thing? | ||
| And it just became this whole, you know, big deal where all of these secret messages we could put in. | ||
| But I always, I always thought it was, that's actually the story that got me into the Beatles that like, Wow, these guys thought it was so cool that they actually took it to the next level and started doing it because, hey, that's fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alright, we got QuietGuitaristFan says, World Economic Forum. | ||
| You will own nothing and you will be happy. | ||
| Neo, I need guns. | ||
| Lots of guns. | ||
| Guns are good investments. | ||
| Yeah, it's true. | ||
| And you're blocked by them? | ||
| They're calling you up by name? | ||
| They don't lose their value. | ||
| Yes, they appreciate it. | ||
| The World Economic Forum not only has me blocked on Twitter, but they called me out by name | ||
| the other day over some... | ||
| And you're blocked by them? | ||
| And I'm blocked, but they're calling me out as this known purveyor of whatever. | ||
| Yeah, of whatever. | ||
| It had to do with the macron emails from 2017, which were completely true, by the way. | ||
| That was an actual, legit leak that we found. | ||
| But they just labeled disinformation. | ||
| But isn't that hilarious how you'll find people's actual emails and they'll be like, that's not true. | ||
| That's disinformation. | ||
| Yeah, dude, I'm browsing Reddit. | ||
| If you look at the front page of all, the leftists, how they talk about Fauci's emails, They have no idea what they're talking about. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They've literally not read any of them, don't understand the context. | ||
| And they're like, there was like one email where he said not to wear masks. | ||
| It was exactly in line with what he was saying publicly. | ||
| And I'm like, well, that's true. | ||
| But the real issue is that there were scientists saying early on that thought it was engineered. | ||
| Fauci ended up giving these guys grants at some point. | ||
| What the guy was saying publicly literally the same day was the exact opposite of what he was telling Fauci. | ||
| There's a lot of stuff in there. | ||
| So that's a type of, I mean, it's a cope, right? | ||
| But, you know, the type of logical fallacy that it's a false because, right? | ||
| So I've created, instead of having to actually think through, like me possibly being wrong on something, I can just allow the cognitive dissonance to take over and the false because will be a shortcut across that to say, well, okay, there was this one, but it wasn't a big deal. | ||
| Here's why it wasn't a big deal. | ||
| And therefore, you know, therefore, because of that, All of it is not a big deal. | ||
| Well, that's a false because, because that only pertains to one. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Stoli Clark says, Tim, I'm challenging you and Ian to a game of Two-Headed Giant Commander. | ||
| Also, everyone, regardless of your opinion, you need to prepare for some crazy times. | ||
| And why don't you people ever talk about XRP? | ||
| I don't know a whole lot about XRP, but what I can say is anyone who plays me and Ian in a game of Two-Headed Giant Commander would regret it. | ||
| Yeah, you'd get messed up. | ||
| You'd get messed up bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know about that. | |
| I think Jack and I could beat you. | ||
| The level of the decks that Ian and I have are so high, we don't like playing each other anymore. | ||
| It's like turn one wins. | ||
| It's just insane. | ||
| He got the Mana Crypt, he wins. | ||
| Let's just play a new game. | ||
| Who goes first? | ||
| You win. | ||
| I've got a Kiki-Jiki deck. | ||
| It's just absolutely bonkers. | ||
| I've got... Narset's crazy, but that's more about just locking the board down and being silly. | ||
| But Urza's just nuts. | ||
| Yeah, I think if we did Urza and maybe Thassa... | ||
| That's just- Thassa, dude. | ||
| Stop town. | ||
| Rashad and Footpad with Thassa and it's like, I win. | ||
| Everyone sacrifice all your permanents, I win. | ||
| I'll counter everything they try to do to stop you from winning. | ||
| Well, if you have Urza and you have all of your board on the table, then maybe the Footpad won't get to you. | ||
| Dude, two out of giants is the best. | ||
| Ah, we wipe the floor with whoever dared challenge us. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| No, I think we would win. | ||
| Me and Jack against you two. | ||
| We're doing it. | ||
| I actually don't know anything about this game. | ||
| I'm just talking smack. | ||
| I don't know either. | ||
| lawn or elf and then hands like I'll drop my whole board with | ||
| Urza and I win the game. | ||
| I actually don't know anything about this. I'm just talking smack because I don't know either. But any opportunity to | ||
| argue best, I'll take it. | ||
| One of the best card games ever made. I'm like, how does this | ||
| pertain to the rosary? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I'm like, I actually won't play this game. | ||
| June is the month of the sacred heart of Jesus. | ||
| That's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| No, it actually is. | ||
| I love this conspiracy theory. | ||
| The Physicality Channel says, do we have any proof this is actually live? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Well, they just asked that question and you read it out loud. | ||
| I assume they asked it recently. | ||
| Yeah, wouldn't that be proof? | ||
| I would think so, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Define proof. | |
| Can I say what it is? | ||
| Isn't the super chat itself proof it's live? | ||
| I guess they think we get super chats sent to us in advance. | ||
| We read people's minds, yeah. | ||
| Well, now it's proven for them, but I guess for everybody else. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know, it's 9.48pm. | ||
| Yeah, I checked the time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they're like, you timed that perfectly so that when it went off you knew. | |
| Keep sending super chats and you'll find out. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| You know what I'm gonna do? | ||
| I'm gonna design a clock that it'll be like your standard, you know, what's a clock called that's just like a standard clock? | ||
| Because there's like a digital numeric clock. | ||
| Analog clock. | ||
| But I want to have it so that like every five minutes the arms randomly pull to a different position. | ||
| Dude, what if there was a clock that no matter when you looked at it, it always showed you what time it was now. | ||
| So like if the clock was on video and recorded, you'd look at it now and it would show now's time even though, I don't know, it'd be some new technology. | ||
| Ian, what are you talking about? | ||
| Permaclocks are like everclocks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Get that orb away from me! | |
| That would be a multidimensional clock because if Seamus is watching and someone else is watching it'd be a different... That's a quantum clock. | ||
| That's a quantum clock. | ||
| Who can build this? | ||
| Ian, can you build us a clock where instead of actually telling time every five minutes the arms randomly jump to a different position? | ||
| So then like during the show the arms will just be like randomly like people are like what's going on? | ||
| You already said it on air that'd be so fantastic Just like the audience is like what is going on? | ||
| Yeah, this is not live. | ||
| How could it be the clock is? | ||
| Well, we'll start thinking about things like that. | ||
| Maybe we can do like well. | ||
| I shouldn't say any more ideas Fantastic ideas that like if you ever say them on air you'll ruin them like we should miss his clothes. | ||
| Just know she should Let's read some more Unholy Prophet says I'm 30 and I own my own house and my mom lives next door. | ||
| It's like the show everyone loves Raymond. | ||
| There you go, and I bet she comes over when she wants to borrow a cup of sugar. | ||
| And she calls you Unholy Prophet. | ||
| Unholy! | ||
| You come over here and bring me a cup of sugar! | ||
| I gotta say, my mom just got a place that's right down the street from us and with the kids, it's great. | ||
| I mean, that is sort of the traditional, you know, set up, right? | ||
| So that it's multi-generational, families live close, right? | ||
| You're not just shipping, you know, outsourcing your child care to some stranger or, you know, somebody you found on care.com. | ||
| It's grandparents. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| They love the kids. | ||
| They know the kids. | ||
| It's theirs, right? | ||
| And I love it. | ||
| All right, we got Nova Zero says, Antifa are pests, not bugs. | ||
| Don't eat Antifa, no protein whatsoever. | ||
| Use pesticides like tear gas. | ||
| Enjoy. | ||
| Also, have you seen how big Australian bush roaches are? | ||
| I have not. | ||
| I'm sure they're huge. | ||
| You actually have to hunt them with an AR, sorry. | ||
| Antiva remind me of cicadas in many, many ways. | ||
| The screams, right? | ||
| So the screams is a big part of it. | ||
| A chicken could defeat them. | ||
| The swarms, right? | ||
| The swarms that are absolutely, they are an invasive species. | ||
| They think gender is a social construct. | ||
| You ever get alone with a cicada, dude? | ||
| Their political opinions are all out of whack. | ||
| They will not stop talking about that. | ||
| They just re all the time. | ||
| And for some reason they can just automatically generate Molotov cocktails. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|

|
All right. | |
| We got Rob Lurssen says breaking JBS paid 11 million dollars in Bitcoin ransom to cyber criminals who last week knocked out plants that process one fifth of the nation's meat supply. | ||
| Wall Street Journal. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Oh, that's only going to get worse. | ||
| The thing that killed me with the Colonial Pipeline was when the CEO was testifying yesterday and said and admitted that said, well, they asked him, said Senator Hawley. | ||
| I think it was Senator Hawley actually asked him. | ||
| Why didn't you just go in manually and turn on the pipeline? | ||
| You guys see this one? | ||
| And he responded that, well, essentially all the workers that know how to operate the pipeline manually are either retired or deceased at this point. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Yeah, it's depressing. | ||
| We actually didn't have the capability of operating it manually anymore. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| Yeah, that's not good. | ||
| I would say so. | ||
| Yeah, I would agree with you on that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, we got Chris Bali says, Tim, I keep hearing you refer to NC as an East Coast state. | ||
| Well, it is on the East Coast. | ||
| It is a Southern state that is very conservative. | ||
| Most people here have rejected COVID measures, FYI. | ||
| I just referred to it as an East Coast state because it's very easy to get to North Carolina from North Carolina to New York. | ||
| So if New York implements all these restrictions, there's probably a lot of people in North Carolina who are like driving up to New York or even driving through New York. | ||
| Maybe you aren't going on a vacation or something. | ||
| It's not like you're in Los Angeles and it's like a six-hour flight. | ||
| There is kind of this, like, regionalization of the term East Coast. | ||
| Like, you wouldn't consider Florida an East Coast state. | ||
| How dare you? | ||
| Even though it is. | ||
| I live in Georgia, and I consider myself a coastal elite. | ||
| No, it is, but people wouldn't say that, right? | ||
| When they say East Coast, they kind of mean, like, Mid-Atlantic Northeast. | ||
| Yeah, I get it. | ||
| I'm just making a geographical reference, because like... Yeah. | ||
| Admittedly, what is it, like 16 hours New York to Florida or something? | ||
| Or is it 24? | ||
| It's not that bad. | ||
| No, it's not 24. | ||
| No, it's like 16, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe 18. | ||
| Yeah, I've done Florida to... DC to Florida, yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| B13SR, what is it? | ||
| Beezer? | ||
| I grew up on Rage Against the Machine, and today's kids, my nephews, call me a conservative. | ||
| Yeah, well, to be fair, Rage Against the Machine today is Rage on behalf of the machine. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| Man, isn't that funny? | ||
| The reason I brought up the Offspring earlier about Hit That is because I was listening to one of their latest songs, and it's not overt, but it really does sound like they're pro-establishment these days. | ||
| Maybe they always were. | ||
| I mean, it's 2003, right? | ||
| Or no, no, what year was Why Don't You? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, Hit That was 2003. | ||
| Well, how are we defining the machine? | ||
| The political establishment, what it's always been. | ||
| Yeah, Trump just kicked the door down. | ||
| So that's who they claim to be raging against? | ||
| Oh yeah, but they're... Rage against the machine, that's what I'm saying. | ||
| Rage in the pocket of the machine. | ||
| Didn't they have a video that was, like, directed by Michael Moore at one point with Rage, and they're on Wall Street, and they're, like, protesting. | ||
| They protested in front of the DNC at one point, they went down in Cuba. | ||
| I mean, these guys were pretty, pretty, you know, populist uprising against, quote unquote, the establishment. | ||
| We got Logan Culver says, clearly the culture shift happened when they fired up the Large Hadron Collider in 2008 and ripped a hole in our time continuum. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Well, you guys should watch Loki because that's what it's all about. | ||
| You know what, you guys? | ||
| We're up to 9.3k likes. | ||
| Not against that. | ||
| And that's great, but we agreed to 20,000. | ||
| Oh, we did. | ||
| That's what I remember. | ||
| I said initially. | ||
| I just think they remember you saying that. | ||
| I said 20,000. | ||
| I love you guys. | ||
| Let's get us there. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| 20k likes and watch the new Freedom Tunes videos. | ||
| Do both. | ||
| You can do both. | ||

He's looking at Tim like, how long will he allow me to do this? | |
| Like they say, politics is religion for ugly people. | ||
| Biosurveillance like vaccine passports forces the individual to buy technology. | ||
| What better for disease capitalists than data mining you to train robots? | ||
| Half the cost of immigrants, the pitch is VR. | ||
| Daniel Welch says, is the difference in states you described like Brave New World sterile and dehumanized world state versus degenerate savage lands? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, I think there's an extent where Brave New World actually came a little bit closer than Orwell. | ||
| And I know that's sort of not the, you know, not the quote unquote, you know, prevailing wisdom. | ||
| But when you look at what Huxley proposed, it was this world. | ||
| Not only was it advanced in terms of technology, but it was Instant gratification of anything you wanted. | ||
| It was, you know, free love, free sex. | ||
| This totally predates the counterculture. | ||
| It's the 1920s, I believe. | ||
| 1925, he wrote that. | ||
| And so, you know, he got a lot closer. | ||
| And then so they fly over, you know, quote unquote, the flyover states. | ||
| But then you can go and they have these little platforms where you can land on and sort of look down to people living in like what we consider the Midwest now. | ||
| And that's like a vacation to see how the How these savages, they call them, the savages live. | ||
| Yeah, no, I mean, I completely agree with you, and it's interesting, it actually gets more into the sexual politics, which is a huge part of why everything's falling apart here. | ||
| Oh, yeah, I mean, that's, like, half the book. | ||
| Alright, The One Free Man says, Would you die, not for America as we know it, but for the America you know it could be? | ||
| So, for the Papal States of America? | ||
| Because it could be that, and I would die for that. | ||
| I've seen so many people die feudally that I'm not really looking to throw myself away. | ||
| Yeah, I guess that's a complicated question. | ||
| I mean, look, that's clearly a risk that my grandfather was willing to take. | ||
| I think if we fought in the Second World War, I think there's something noble about that. | ||
| I'm not a big fan of the industrial-military complex or our current foreign policy, but... | ||
| If there was a good reason to go to war, I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and say I'm so brave and macho I would absolutely go do it, but I definitely believe there are reasons which warrant fighting for sure. | ||
| I mean, you know, as Patton once said, you know, the object of warfare is not to die for your country but have the enemy die for his. | ||
| That being said, you know, I know that I'm not someone who currently, and I said this before, I argued that I don't think that we are on a collision course with China, But that being said, should the CCP try, trust me, I've been focused on these guys solely for about 15 years right now. | ||
| I would know how to tear them apart within less than 18 months. | ||
| Don't say that on air. | ||
| Disney will never hire you now. | ||
| No. | ||
| Hedge Trimmer says, the mother of all short sales is upon us. | ||
| The Eight Army owns the float by 93%. | ||
| Is that for GameStop? | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| That can be big. | ||
| I also did a cartoon about GameStop. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| Isn't Apes AMC? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh, I don't know. | |
| It's just meme, I thought. | ||
| Meme cryptos. | ||
| Yeah, meme cryptos. | ||
| Or meme stonks. | ||
| So would that be all meme stonks? | ||
| So if you guys like meme stonks, I did a video called Game Stonks that you guys should also check out at Freedom Tunes. | ||
| It was alright. | ||
| Really enjoy it, yeah. | ||
| Alright! | ||
| Clef the Misfit says, Tim, I'm going to keep posting this till you read it. | ||
| Please make a gorilla t-shirt in your honor with a beanie and lettuce hands. | ||
| I bought AMC. | ||
| Yeah, I bought back. | ||
| You're back in. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| For a while now. | ||
| Back on the train. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I woke up and I was like, I don't even have anything to invest in. | ||
| I was like, I don't know, AMC, I guess. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Yeah, there are people that are moving on. | ||
| If you click on Wall Street Pets, AMC isn't even like the hot thing right now anymore. | ||
| The people have kind of moved on from it. | ||
| This is a hive, you know, it's a bee's nest. | ||
| But I haven't, by the way. | ||
| I have not. | ||
| This is a hive. | ||
| And what they've realized is that when there's high short interest in a stock, it's guaranteed to go up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Just hedge funds are like, we're going to tank this stock or I'll make money. | ||
| They announce it, then everybody follows suit and they do the opposite and they're guaranteed to sell the stock at a higher price. | ||
| It's a win. | ||
| It's just absolutely win. | ||
| So now the whole game is going to shift based on this new meta. | ||
| The firms are gonna stop doing that. They should have kept it low-key | ||
| So they can keep taking advantage of these firms when they try to do it now that the word is out | ||
| They're just gonna know it's too big of a risk to short. | ||
| Yep Let's see | ||
| Javon Cronin says I love how Ian randomly gets mad in the middle of a sentence and chills out by the end | ||
| Always catches me off guard. | ||
| Dude, I am fire. | ||
| Electric light. | ||

|
That's true. | |
| That's so true. | ||
| I didn't even think of that. | ||
| Okay, um, Rath4 says, More people died in 2020 alone from shoving foreign objects in their bums than people died from AR-15s the past five years combined. | ||
| Well, we should we should absolutely ban those things. | ||
| Are we are we debunking or has that been bunked? | ||
| It is being bunked now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We can choose to accept the bunk, debunk. | |
| And then if we do debunk, then the other party has a chance to rebunk. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, we should ban all those things. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Let's let's do a couple more here. | ||
| Ward Spo says, no drinks in the damn table ever. | ||
| Few hundred to thousands in cards. | ||
| I have stacks of irreplaceable cards. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Oh yeah, we have like, uh, I've got an Alpha Bolt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like that card. | |
| What is that worth? | ||
| Like a thousand bucks these days? | ||
| Oh man. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe not. | ||
| Maybe not that much. | ||
| But it was like, it was like a, like 70 bucks when I bought it, I think. | ||
| I'm gonna look it up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A while ago. | |
| Just imagine if somebody just like knocks over their coffee or something. | ||
| Well, it's sealed in a special thing. | ||
| Is that sealed in a card? | ||
| Yeah, but I do have some cards that are worth, like... A lot! | ||
| Like, one of my deck has some, like... I probably shouldn't say too much about the power of this deck, but it's got some really, really old, expensive cards in it. | ||
| Let's just say he had some collateral for that AMC stock he bought. | ||
| I went and I was like, I'm going to leverage my Magic the Gathering deck, and they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| He went down to the bank. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're like, we don't have a vault big enough, safe enough to store that. | |
| Looks like the Alpha Lightning Bolt's about 500 bucks now. | ||
| Oh, OK, 500 bucks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
| Wow. | ||
| So apparently, uh, the Magic the Gathering cards track higher, have a higher rate of return, a percentage of return than like the S&P 500. | ||
| It's raining. | ||
| Yeah, I heard that. | ||
| I was like, whoa, is it raining? | ||
| Yeah, it's like in waves. | ||
| And guess who gets to drive home three thousand. | ||
| Hey, if the power goes out, it was nice doing the show with you guys. | ||
| Yeah, we made it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So let's just, uh, we'll do a couple more so we can get to that bonus segment. | ||
| Ian, use your abilities to keep us online. | ||
| You got it. | ||
| Positive energy displacing the cloud. | ||
| We do have the reserve batteries. | ||
| Goblin Hands says, Tim, as a truck driver, the truck driver shortage is a myth. | ||
| They are pushing the autonomous trucks in. | ||
| Also, the Chinese own the biggest pork company in the US, Smithfield. | ||
| If they decide, they can shut us down easily. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Jamie Cagney says, how's your internet today? | ||
| I have a Starlink set up to sell you if you want. | ||
| Check out the jobs email. | ||
| Can you write that down? | ||
| Yes, 100%. | ||
| Can you do that? | ||
| Because we would absolutely love to get Starlink. | ||
| We're on the waiting list. | ||
| So they announced it's in our area. | ||
| We paid for it. | ||
| They said now you just have to wait, first come, first serve. | ||
| So it's like, yo, Elon! | ||
| Does anybody who's watching know Elon? | ||
| Be like, yo, hey, Elon, can you send this guy, he's like, doing a show, he needs Starlink. | ||
| In the middle of nowhere. | ||
| I also wonder, can you move the Starlink around? | ||
| Because if they just give it to you, can't you just, like, take it and put it somewhere else? | ||
| Use it somewhere else? | ||
| Alright, alright, alright. | ||
