I think it's working. | |
| We got a new studio. | ||
| And I just pressed the button and nothing changed. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, it's broken already. | ||
| No, it's working! | ||
| So we're streaming now at a substantially higher bitrate. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| We're in a brand new studio. | ||
| So the sound may be crazy and whatever. | ||
| You look, you just got to do it and we're going to do it. | ||
| And so we got some news, man. | ||
| You guys probably heard the big news was Southwest Airlines canceling over 2,000 flights, and the rumor was there was either an air traffic controller strike or a pilot strike. | ||
| Now, it's probably neither of those things. | ||
| It's something substantially worse. | ||
| I actually talked to a pilot. | ||
| Well, I should say someone who told me they were a pilot. | ||
| We're still, you know, investigating the story. | ||
| We're still getting statements and seeking to vet. | ||
| But I used to work for O'Hare. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I used to work for American Eagle Airlines at O'Hare Airport in Chicago. | ||
| So there's jargon, you know, this individual's telling me and I'm like, he's probably legit. | ||
| And he said there's no strike. | ||
| It's not a sick out or anything like that. | ||
| It's worse. | ||
| It's when you have vaccine mandates, people work as hard as they can work, and then all of a sudden they just reach their limit and say, I can't do this. | ||
| I'm calling in. | ||
| And so a lot of people may just be independently calling out, which is causing an airline collapse. | ||
| And that's worse, because we're seeing this with Biden's vaccine mandate. | ||
| We're seeing it across the board with the economy. | ||
| Shortages are getting worse. | ||
| And now they're warning us, for one, Fauci. | ||
| I don't even know if he's going to give us Christmas. | ||
| Maybe if we cross our fingers and ask him nicely, he'll say yes. | ||
| But now we're being told, you better go shopping now, because you're not going to be able to get those toys later on. | ||
| So we got to talk about this. | ||
| We got to talk about this Pentagon. | ||
| What was he, a Pentagon general? | ||
| Software. | ||
| Software engineer. | ||
| One of the first ones. | ||
| Saying that, yeah, we're absolutely behind in terms of cyber war. | ||
| Taiwan says they're gearing up for war. | ||
| There's a lot to talk about. | ||
| So that being said, we will try our best to make sure this new studio setup works. | ||
| But if you don't just roll with it, you'll never know where the bugs are going to be. | ||
| So we actually did a few test streams. | ||
| Everything seems to be good. | ||
| And joining us today to talk about all this is Tom Sauer and Colin Myers. | ||
| You guys want to introduce yourselves? | ||
| Yeah, thanks for having me on guys. | ||
| My name is Tom Sauer. | ||
| I'm a former Navy EOD officer, a bomb disposal officer, special operations bomb squad. | ||
| And also currently, my current line of work is I own a mental health and addiction treatment company primarily focused on veterans right now. | ||
| It's called the McArthur Group, but our main company is Miramar Recovery in Orange County, California. | ||
| And one of my partners in all this is my Naval Academy classmate and good friend, Colin Myers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks, Tom. | |
| Tom and I were classmates. | ||
| Graduated Naval Academy back in 2006. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I went on to be a submarine officer and then was dealing with communications after that. | ||
| And finally, I joined forces here with Tom at Miramar Recovery. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| Well, we got a full house tonight because we got Luke here as well. | ||
| I mean, this studio's freaking incredible. | ||
| Can we do a wide shot? | ||
| The wide shot is pretty cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't. | |
| Hold on. | ||
| We'll do it later. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| We'll do it later. | ||
| But I also brought in some art from my trailer right behind me. | ||
| It says, We Don't Dial 9-1-1. | ||
| I got that in Florida, of course. | ||
| And he has a sword. | ||
| And a sword, you know. | ||
| I'm just your local parking lot vagrant. | ||
| I guess I've been called here. | ||
| I don't know what that means, but they're calling me a vagrant here. | ||
| I'm also a humble t-shirt vendor. | ||
| And if you like the t-shirt I'm wearing, like the one that I'm wearing right now that says, if you could question it, it's science. | ||
| If it's not, it's propaganda. | ||
| You could get your own exclusively at TheBestPoliticalShirts.com. | ||
| TheBestPoliticalShirts.com. | ||
| Thanks for having me. | ||
| Hey, also, real quick, I want to point out all this new artwork here. | ||
| If you guys are looking for new artwork, there's a really cool new emerging artist. | ||
| I think he's named Hunter Biden. | ||
| It's expensive, though. | ||
| It's really expensive. | ||
| Yeah, he's good. | ||
| He's really good. | ||
| Hey, Tom, how many bombs did you dispose of? | ||
| A couple. | ||
| No yeah, not too many. | ||
| I was one of the guys, most of my focus area was actually on Asia Pacific. | ||
| So I spent most of my time out there like working like kind of the big picture stuff. | ||
| China, North Korea, all that. | ||
| So spent a lot of time in the tropics. | ||
| I'm one of the few Navy EOD guys who did not go to Afghanistan. | ||
| I did a brief stint earlier in Iraq. | ||
| It was very uneventful. | ||
| But yeah, I'm not an Afghan. | ||
| I'm not like the Hurt Locker guy. | ||
| We kind of worked on a different world of that. | ||
| We can talk about it a little bit. | ||
| And counter weapons of mass destruction. | ||
| So like nuclear weapons. | ||
| Spent a little bit of time at Los Alamos and all that stuff. | ||
| Taking a lethal dose of radiation, you know, more than once. | ||
| Luke and I went to Fukushima. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, maybe we're also not intelligent. | ||
| I bought a bunch of iodine. | ||
| I think that's supposed to help. | ||
| Hey, ladies and gentlemen, Ian Crossland. | ||
| Well, I don't have the sweet background like Luke has yet. | ||
| I've got a light switch over there, but that's going to be changing. | ||
| Get some artwork behind me. | ||
| I have an array of crystals in front of me. | ||
| And the UFO has returned. | ||
| I don't know if we have a shot of that yet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We will. | |
| I will show everybody that in just a minute. | ||
| Maybe he's still fixing all the new buttons. | ||
| Who's talking? | ||
| Well, we have a new camera that takes a second. | ||
| It's a PTZ camera. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| So you can't... You have to actually, like, preset it. | ||
| Yeah, it has, like, pre-programmed... It has to actually move. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| Happy to be here, and I'm looking for... Oh, actually, before we get started... | ||
| I have a gift. | ||
| This is for you, Tim, and for the TimCast crew. | ||
| This is the Big Book of Hell. | ||
| I don't know if you guys have ever heard of this. | ||
| Oh yeah! | ||
| Matt Groening's original works. | ||
| This is the guy, the creator of The Simpsons, and in the early 80s he did a comic strip about this binky, the rabbit, and I want you to have it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He was a Navy nuke. | |
| Cartoon by Matt Groening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did you know that? | |
| What's that? | ||
| Oh yeah! | ||
|
unidentified
|
He was at Matt Groening was a Navy nuke. | |
| Nuclear engineer. | ||
| Yeah, so Homer Simpson in his position as a senior reactor operator in front of the panel comes from Matt's background. | ||
| The female rabbits, I think Marge is kind of his mom. | ||
| Okay, you guys, I have super cool stuff to show you. | ||
| I have my new camera, so I'm going to show you. | ||
| I'm going to see if I can show you guys the UFO. | ||
| All right, let me know when that's in shot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's right there. | |
| There's the UFO. | ||
| And we'll do the wide shot. | ||
| Yeah, it'll throw it off altogether. | ||
| And then we got a wide shot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, snap! | |
| That's cool. | ||
| Look at that whole room. | ||
| I can't see it. | ||
| I have to look at it on my phone. | ||

| Now let's get into the big story of the day so far. | ||
| Southwest canceled more than 2,000 weekend flights, and the disruptions are continuing. | ||
| This is a story from today. | ||
| It's been updated after I covered it this morning. | ||
| But I also did something interesting. | ||
| There was a post on patriots.win, which is the big Donald Trump forum. | ||
| And someone there said they were a pilot, and they were like, Tim Pool, I know you! | ||
| You browse here! | ||
| You know, you better, you know, get in touch with me! | ||
| And then I was like, okay. | ||
| So I did a little digging, found the person's information. | ||
| Turns out it wasn't actually the person who was posting. | ||
| I'll leave out a lot of details, but it was someone related to a pilot with Southwest, who was relaying basically their story. | ||
| And what I was told was, there's no strike. | ||
| There's no sick out. | ||
| It's worse. | ||
| It is part of what we've been seeing with the labor shortages across the board. | ||
| When you push people too hard, eventually they reach their limit. | ||
| So, the vaccine mandates, for instance, was a huge smack in the face to a lot of these pilots who are already pushing their maximum hours. | ||
| I'm being told that, you know, back in August, some of these people were already told by the FAA, due to what they said, federal aviation regulations, they couldn't fly. | ||
| You fly too much, they're being spread too thin. | ||
| We saw the same thing happen earlier with Spirit Airlines, so... | ||
| We're seeing this across the board in almost every industry with labor shortages. | ||
| You add on top of the fact that people are being spread too thin, a vaccine mandate, this is just bad policy across the board. | ||
| But I know you, Tom, you were talking about having gotten a message from someone or having more insight on this. | ||
| Yeah, so what happened was Colin is friends here with a number of Southwest pilots and also in my family I've got a pilot and an air traffic controller and What happened was, he got a text from one of his pilot buddies saying, like, hey, there's a walkout, or, you know, when they say walkout, it's not a literal walkout. | ||
| It's, you know, folks calling in sick at air traffic controllers in Jacksonville. | ||
| The call has stopped like 650 flights, more to follow, just wait, the pilots are about to step in too, and it's just getting started, spread the word. | ||
| So then Colin says, well, I know Tom's got a lot of followers on Twitter, you know, for a non-public figure, and Tom knows people who have an awful lot of followers on Twitter, and he says, do you want to put it out? | ||
| We broke the story. | ||
| Dave said, go for it. | ||
| So I did, and I was actually in the air. | ||
| I was on the plane on the way out here from California. | ||
| And I'm immediately, Cerno retweets. | ||
| And then I sent it out to our mutual friend, Jack Pasovic, Kurt Schlichter, all those guys. | ||
| And it gets, what goes super viral. | ||
| It's got, I think we're like almost 6 million views now. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| And we, turns out like we broke the story. | ||
| We scooped everybody else, which sounds crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It seemed crazy to us at first because there was nothing about it anywhere. | |
| We were searching. | ||
| Yeah, he tells me about it. | ||
| I'm like, I'm not seeing anything about that. | ||
| Do you know anything? | ||
| I didn't see anything in the media. | ||
| And so then it goes big. | ||
| And next thing you know, I'm in the plane the entire way. | ||
| And it's just, I'm getting DMs. | ||
| We're getting hit up by people. | ||
| And then next thing you know, we hear about more and then more. | ||
| And then I got a DM from somebody who says, hey, Tucker Carlson would like to talk to you. | ||
| And here's a number. | ||
| I'm like, how do I know? | ||
| Is it a non-account? | ||
| I'm like, how do I know? | ||
| And he says, he will talk to you on the phone. | ||
| So I'm like, okay, sure. | ||
| So I send like a, you know, probing text, like, hello, and then get a phone call and hello. | ||
| Hi Tom, this is Doug Carlson. | ||
| I'm like, holy crap. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so it was great. | ||
| So we talked for about 20 minutes and I referred him to a few of our friends who are POPs who spoke to and also spoke to the air traffic control in my family. | ||
| She is unvaccinated and is planning on, you know, losing her job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And so they're making plans and all that, and then everyone else, yeah. | ||
| Is that like, you know, a thousand people out of 50,000, you know? | ||
| I think we're at 6,000th number, is that, for controllers. | ||
| That's the number I was given. | ||
| Yeah, 6,000 controllers who are going to refuse vaccination. | ||
| That's what they're looking to lose. | ||
| That's, that's what I was given. | ||
| That's what, and uh, you know who you are, you're watching. | ||
| If you want to text me and correct me, go right ahead. | ||
| But do you know the total number of air traffic controllers? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I can actually find out. | ||
| I just phoned a friend, so... Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, so that friend of the family, she's watching, so you go ahead and text me. | ||
| I mean, considering we're already dealing with labor shortages and problems with flights as it is, 6,000's no small number. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I heard Tucker Carlson might be having a pilot on his show today, possibly. | ||
| I might have been the person to introduce him to him. | ||
| Yeah, but this is severe. | ||
| We're talking about 3.1 thousand flights in four days canceled. | ||
| Yeah 3.1 in 4 days now the Union is denying that this was a sick out but the Union the pilots Union Southwest pilots Union is actually suing Southwest because on December 8th that is the deadline that Southwest put on their employees to get vaccinated or be fired. | ||
| And you know this could have been organized this could have not been organized. | ||
| It's going to be playing out soon but I definitely foresee this to become more of the norm. | ||
| I'd see a lot more disruptions coming. | ||
| Former US Congressman Ron Paul and former presidential candidate Ron Paul called today the quote great rebellion. | ||
| So that right there kind of solidifies this kind of moment right now which everyone's on edge everyone's waiting to see how these mandates are going to play out other people are calling some of these pilots terrorists some blue checkmark. | ||
| Individuals on Twitter are saying the pilots were participating in a sick out or terrorist and and that's just hyperbolic nonsensical language. | ||
| very interestingly even when we saw workers union in ... Australia rise up we saw a lot of people on the ... establishment left criticize them even though it was a ... populist workers union standing up for their personal ... freedoms for their bodily autonomy for their individual ... rights as human beings not to be subjugated and jump through ... government hoops so so a lot of things are moving this is a ... fast-moving story it's only going to develop from here and ... if it's not organized as you said to him this is only going ... | ||
| And if it is being organized, they're not going to say that it is. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| They told us it was the weather. | ||
| They're like, it's the weather. | ||
| I'm like bull freaking crap. | ||
| All the weather is only affecting one airline out of all the other airlines out there. | ||
| You got to be kidding me. | ||
| I mean, we're not that stupid. | ||
| Southwest released that statement. | ||
| The mainstream media regurgitated it. | ||
| I mean, what kind of bull crap are they trying to give to the American people when they're telling everyone it's the weather? | ||
| Here's the best part. | ||
| So, uh, the other night we were watching Family Guy. | ||
| It was like a new episode on Fox 5, I don't know, something like the local DC channel or whatever. | ||
| The news comes on, and the big story is Southwest cancellations. | ||
| At this point it was over a thousand. | ||
| And the ladies said, Southwest has canceled over a thousand flights. | ||
| They said in a statement that it was due to weather and issues with air traffic control. | ||
| The FAA issued a statement saying that there was no shortage of air traffic controllers, or... And then I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| Who said shortages? | ||
| Like, why did they include that statement? | ||
| So what you learn is, the news outlet knew that there was a story about a shortage, and they included the quote from the FAA, but not the actual information, the context. | ||
| You needed to understand why the FAA said that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What that says to me is that the news is withholding information from people because they don't want... Here's what I think. | ||
| I think if regular people realize that 6,000 air traffic controllers are going to refuse to be vaccinated, And it looks like from the FAA, 14,000 air traffic controllers in the U.S.? | ||
| That's the total. | ||
| 14,000 plus, it says. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Consider air travel done. | ||
| But if that's the case, how many more people are going to be like, if they can do it, so can I? | ||
| That's why they're so worried about these celebrities, too. | ||
| It's a stare-down, though, too. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| Right now, you're having... | ||
| Establishment, whether this is a major corporation, whether it's a government agency, and then you got the people, and they're having the stare down, like, hey, somebody's going to have to blink. | ||
| Eventually, somebody will. | ||
| But it's not just Southwest. | ||
| There's other elements of society that are saying, no, no, no, no, no, my body, my choice. | ||
| I get to decide what I get to put inside of myself, including Amtrak. | ||
| The Amtrak official Twitter account just posted that there's going to be some shortages of trains because of, quote, unforeseen crew issues. | ||
| What are the crew issues are you talking about there's also ... | ||
| Kyrie Irving an NBA player that gets paid 15.58 million ... | ||
| dollars he's putting his contract on the line because ... | ||
| he's refusing to bow down to the authoritarians and ... | ||
| they're telling him you might not be able to play home ... | ||
| games and that's what might happen in just a few moments ... | ||
| from now so and it's also National Guardsman there's ... | ||
| there's also reports of over a hundred thousand troops not ... | ||
| allowed to play home games and that's a big deal and ... | ||
| there's a lot more people out here that are saying no ... | ||
| then then we have no about here's what I think we're ... | ||
| seeing right now it's we we've talked about quite a bit ... | ||
| the rat experiment the right utopia experiment was it ... | ||
| Carl Carl Schlichter is that the name of the guy so we ... | ||
| went through how long a year of lockdown a little bit ... | ||
| longer and then it was this summer they said okay ... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry, I got it wrong. | |
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Are you guys familiar with the Hope Experiment? | ||
| Not terribly, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| They take three cylinders. | ||
| They put rats in them. | ||
| They're full of water, and the rats swim desperately. | ||
| After 15 minutes, the rats give up and die. | ||
| They then did another experiment. | ||
| They put the rats in the cylinders. | ||
| After 15 minutes, the rats give up, but then they pull the rats out, dry them off, let them rest, put them back in. | ||
| Then, the rats swam for 60 hours. | ||
|
unidentified
|
6-0. | |
| Yeah, 6-0. | ||
| Because they felt hope. | ||
| They were like, that hand will save me again. | ||
| That was Dr. Kurt Richter out of Harvard. | ||
| So this is what I think. | ||
| Why did I say Schlitter's on the show if it's not easier? | ||
| I wonder if they're related. | ||
| This is what I think. | ||
| These cancellations and everything, it is going to get bad. | ||
| The lockdowns are... The vaccine mandates are basically lockdowns. | ||
| They're telling businesses you can't operate, you know, unless you do these things. | ||
| And then we're seeing people say no to them, which is resulting in more economic strife. | ||
| But this time, people aren't going to freak out as much. | ||
| They're going to hold out for hope, because they've seen the return to normal, if only for a few months. | ||
| That's a great observation. | ||
| I mean that that that experiment is terrifying especially with what what could possibly happen here because there's still a lot of unexplained issues we still don't know exactly what's going on we know that there's a lot of mandates a lot of government pressure we saw what happened with United Airlines with them pressuring their employees firing their employees so. | ||
| I could I could definitely see that this is not going to go ... away anytime soon but there's also a lot of other issues ... you know there's there's estimates here that over a ... hundred million people in the United States had already ... covid this brings up the question of natural immunity ... there's 200 million estimated people that have taken the vaccine. | ||
| But daily cases are still up 300% than they were from last year when there was no vaccine. | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| What's the science? | ||
| Dr. Fauci deserves to explain all of this and there's no explanation. | ||
| There's no conversation and we should at least start with some of these basic facts and just be able to have an honest real conversation about it and we can. | ||
| I think we need to recognize that they don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And the problem is Dr. Fauci likes to always say definitive things and then get proven wrong. | ||
| And probably one of the most dangerous things he said was, Christmas is cancelled, and then everyone's like freaking out, and then he goes, I misread the science, it's not cancelled anymore. | ||
| Like, then don't say it, man, because people are freaking out already, but hey, maybe that's what they want. | ||
| He loves the attention. | ||
| He loves the spotlight. | ||
| Exactly, and that's why when there was a major backlash, he went back on the science of cancelling Christmas, and just a few months ago, he issued a statement that he's granting permission for kids to go trick-or-treating. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| You're not, you're not the, you're not God. | ||
| You might be compared to Keebler elves, but, but, but that's not God. | ||
| And maybe in some religions it is, but, but, but for frick sakes! | ||
| Thank you, Lord God Emperor, Dr. Fauci. | ||
| Like, you don't get, like, like, there's no science backed by, it's all a popularity contest and it's getting ridiculous by the day. | ||
| Isn't he the highest paid federal employee? | ||
| Yeah, he is. | ||
| He's making more money than, like, the president. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Making more than, like, a four-star general. | ||
| I think he's been in that job, that specific job, like, as long as, like, someone's been alive. | ||
| It's like the 80s, I think. | ||
| Longer than I've been alive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm curious to know all the income streams he has. | |
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| He's got a book deal. | ||
| He's got that Netflix documentary, too. | ||
| No, Disney. | ||
| It's Disney, right? | ||
| Oh, Disney Plus. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Disney Plus. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| The new movie Fauci had like a 1.2 rating on IMDb, but it was a bunch of... | ||
| Fraudulent reviews. | ||
| So now they're fixing it as a 5.8 rating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| They're like, let's be real. | ||
| You can hate Fauci. | ||
| The story can be awful. | ||
| But we put that documentary together very well. | ||
| How many dislikes does it have now? | ||
| Because they got rid of the comments. | ||
| I want to see. | ||
| I'm going to look it up. | ||
| Why would they ever get rid of the comments? | ||
| It was 95,000 dislikes a couple days ago. | ||
| Let's actually, can we pull it up? | ||
| Where's that on YouTube? | ||
| It's on YouTube. | ||
| It's the Fauci Disney Plus trailer to his documentary. | ||
| That's a horrible picture of him, by the way. | ||
| It's Disney Plus with National Geographic. | ||
| Like, I don't know if he's got, if he had cheekbones done or something. | ||
| Alright, so we pulled it up. | ||
| 105,000 dislikes. | ||
| Oh my, so the National Geographic page, are you on that one? | ||
| Oh no, on Disney+, the Fauci official trailer has 21,000 dislikes. | ||
| On the National Geographic one, which comes up first when you type in Fauci National Geographic documentary that was released a month ago, 105,000 dislikes. | ||
| 7.7 likes. | ||
| We got it right here. | ||
| 105,000 dislikes. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yikes, man. | ||

|
Oof. | |
| This is popular. | ||
| Well, I'll tell you this, people don't like Dr. Fauci. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Man, I don't. | ||
| I mean, who's gonna love North Korean-style propaganda films? | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| I mean, there's no conflict. | ||
| There's no drama here. | ||
| It's Bono and George W. Bush acting like fluffers to Dr. Fauci. | ||
| That's what the documentary is about, okay? | ||
| I don't want to watch that. | ||
| If I want to watch North Korean-style propaganda movies, I'll watch North Korean propaganda movies. | ||
| They're funny. | ||
| Yeah, they're interesting. | ||
| They're thought-provoking. | ||
| At least there's there's something there that you know is ... kind of theater but for them to play like they're unbiased ... and not interview anyone critical of him not introduce ... any I mean they talk about the the AIDS drama a little bit ... but but other than that it's just a glorification of a ... government bureaucrat and there's nothing more ... disgusting in my opinion than to worship someone in public ... office you should be holding them accountable you should be ... | ||
| Making sure that they're transparent. | ||
| You should be making sure that they're accountable to the people. | ||
| You should be making sure that they're working for you, not worshiping and celebrating these... I can't even say it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, when you criticize Fauci, you're criticizing science. | |
| The guy's a madman. | ||
| He's a lunatic. | ||
| So, hold on. | ||
| Don't show it just yet, but I pulled up the Rotten Tomatoes for Fauci, and do you guys have a guess? | ||
| A guess on the official critic score? | ||
| 99.999% The official critics give Fauci 91%, but the audience score is 2%. | ||
| So don't look at the screen. | ||
| I just did. | ||
| I already gave you my guess. | ||
| I already guessed. | ||
| I said 99.9%. | ||
| All right, let's pull it up. | ||
| The official critics give Fauci 91%. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| But the audience score is 2%. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| This is like the worst score I've ever seen from an audience. | ||
| But it's people who just don't like Fauci. | ||
| Yeah, they initially didn't have that audience score. | ||
| We should pull up the Dave Chappelle recent comedy special. | ||
| That was actually, I saw half of it. | ||
| I was actually pleasantly surprised. | ||
| I didn't agree with everything he said, but it was good. | ||
| I enjoyed it. | ||
| I was able to sit back and enjoy it. | ||
| Now we pull up Dave Chappelle, The Closer. | ||
| Official critics 33%, audience score 97%. | ||
| You see how this works? | ||
| There are clearly two different figurative species. | ||
| The journalist, the better man, as they would call themselves. | ||
| Our betters. | ||
| Yes, our betters. | ||
| And then everyone else. | ||
| And they're all sitting there clapping, oh Fauci is brilliant. | ||
| And Dave Chappelle, how dare he? | ||
| It's digital hunger games. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| In a lot of ways. | ||
| I mean, fortunately, it's not real Hunger Games. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| We're not there yet. | ||
| It almost is. | ||
| I mean, with, like, AOC at the Met Gala wearing that dress. | ||
| No masks. | ||
| And then we see the, what was it, Seth Rogen at the Emmys, I think. | ||
| Where he's like, look at us all! | ||
| We're not wearing masks! | ||
| He's like, what's wrong with us? | ||
| And they're all laughing about it. | ||
| Like, they don't care. | ||
| This makes me think that, it makes me, cements the idea that authoritarianism doesn't work in art, because you can't like force someone to think they like something they don't like, but then I'm thinking about Yunmi Park coming out of North Korea, and how they don't even know what love is, like they don't understand that concept, because it was never taught to them, so maybe authoritarianism does work in art, and we're just seeing the beginning of them trying to do it, and it doesn't work in the beginning. | ||
| Takes a generation. | ||
| It's horrifying. | ||
| The witchcraft thing? | ||
| movies where they did like woke remakes or whatever I mean man I know you guys | ||
| haven't seen the new craft because of just you know who you are as people who | ||
| pay attention and have good taste but you guys you guys remember the craft | ||
| right the old 90s movie with the witchcraft thing yeah so they remake it | ||
| and the latest version is just like the most nonsensical woke religious garbage | ||
| It's not even a movie. | ||
| It's just, like, doesn't make sense at all. | ||
| David Duchovny, for some reason, turns out to be the bad guy, but he, like, he apologizes to this girl for being mean with her, you know, mean to her. | ||
| He's the stepdad, and he's like, don't attack people, because she hit somebody, and then she gets all, like, shocked that she was told not... It just, the movie makes literally no sense. | ||
| They cast a spell on a guy to turn him gay or something. | ||
| For real. | ||
| Is it worse than Girl Ghostbusters? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| At least Girl Ghostbusters was like just a bad movie. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The craft is like random woke PSA clips stitched together. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so, you know, like what you're saying, Ian, that you can't force someone to like art. | ||
| Yeah, but if that's like, if there are people who will just clap, you know, in unison for the establishment, it's not about liking art. | ||
| It's about just their clapping to fit in. | ||
| And so they'll tell you they like everything. | ||
| They like anything they're told to like. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The comments on this Dr. Fauci documentary are absolutely glorious and awe-stunning. | ||
| Someone wrote, corporations and government working together against the people, classic. | ||
| Another person wrote, the gain of function is really going to be relatable to a lot of people. | ||
| Someone wrote that they're going to make this movie into a ride at Disney, and the wait is going to be two minutes, but you're going to be there for 15 years. | ||
| So the comments are absolutely beautiful and glorious. | ||
| Some people wrote, this is the sequel to Nuremberg 2.0. | ||
| Again, a lot of people are saying a lot of different comments, lots of let's go Brandons, but the comments are very entertaining to say the least. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| So, I think, you know... Why didn't Trump fire the guy? | ||
| Yeah, that's a very good question. | ||
| Why didn't Trump fire a lot of people? | ||
| You know, I think the reality is the Trump presidency was anything but a despotism. | ||
| It was a guy who was like, I'm going to do what I want to do, and he's kind of a loud mouth, but he didn't push too hard. | ||
| And the problem was he should have fired a lot of people. | ||
| He should have fired Fauci, but he didn't do it and he could have done it. | ||
| I think right now, as it stands, like the odds are, if you had to play the odds, I mean, a lot of people have these predictions, but One, I mean, it's pretty clear that Trump, he's going. | ||
| I mean, he's going for it this next round. | ||
| And frankly? | ||
| I think he's going to get it. | ||
| I'm not saying this is one of those things where, you know, whether like, that's what I want, like, and all that. | ||
| But I, if I had to put bet money on something, and I think he's going to win, I really do. | ||
| I know it sounds crazy, right? | ||
| But I mean, people thought it was crazy the first time around. | ||
| His approval is up in rural areas. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We're hearing suburban areas that were anti-Trump are now supportive of Trump, even though he's not president. | ||
| This is the craziest thing. | ||
| It's like approval now flipped over 50% in some suburban areas where there he's not even the president and they approve of the | ||
| guy what yeah and he's going to go against like an animated corpse or he's going to go against a very | ||
| unlikable you know for a cop yes you know reanimated excuse me reanimated or maybe he's | ||
| going to go up against oprah but more importantly he's probably going to have to go against | ||
| ron de santis And there's a lot of Donald Trump supporters that are absolutely angry at him for his handling of the events after his presidency, for not supporting them, for not standing up with them, for raising a lot of money and then kind of sitting on it. | ||
| There's a lot of accusations of money just being thrown away, of fraud. | ||
| So there's a lot of disenfranchised Donald Trump ... | ||
| supporters that are absolutely mad with him ... | ||
| especially with what he did to whistleblowers especially ... | ||
| the opportunities he had the opportunity failed I mean if ... | ||
| someone I mean a lot of people have been left after the ... | ||
| Trump presidency being like what what what just happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I thought he was going to a lot of people are disenfranchised ... | |
| but a lot of people are also understanding how bad Biden is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So it's going to play out. | ||
| And with DeSantis, you know, unfortunately his wife came down with cancer, breast cancer. | ||
| That could be a game changer for her. | ||
| Cause if things take a turn, like him doing something like that while wife with cancer. | ||
| Rob, if you're listening, look into fasting. | ||
| You know what I think? | ||
| I think Trump was heavily focused on his economic agenda and he ignored the politics of it all. | ||
| That's kind of the problem of having a non-politician as president. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I was talking to somebody a long time ago in New York, and they were mentioning, I think, Philadelphia. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's not Wolf, is it? | ||
| But they mentioned they tried electing a businessman governor, and it didn't work or something. | ||
| I don't know the full details. | ||
| Maybe you guys in Pennsylvania know this. | ||
| But, typically what you'll get is someone like Trump, who thinks that, you know, he's the CEO of this big company, he can be like, you're fired! | ||
| Then he gets in the government, and he goes to somebody and says, you're fired, and they go, uh, you don't have the authority to do that, that's gotta go through committee approval, we'll see you in a month, and that person stays in the job. | ||
| Or they got a weird federal union. | ||
| So I feel like Trump mostly, I mean, he picked a lot of weird culture war fights, he focused on economics, which was good, but the swamp had him surrounded. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know, he couldn't actually change things that needed to be changed. | ||
| I mean, if the one thing he could have done was, I don't know, pardon Assange? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Couldn't even do that? | ||
| He pardons the Detroit mayor guy? | ||
| He said he doesn't know who Assange is. | ||
| He said he loved WikiLeaks when he was running for president, and then he's like, WikiLeaks? | ||
| What's that? | ||
| I don't even know what that is. | ||
| Would have played it with favoritism. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| You have an opportunity and chance to go against the establishment in such a way with just one little move, correcting a wrong by the US military industrial complex, correcting a wrong by the intelligentsia, and you don't do it? | ||
| Fire Fauci? | ||
| Even when he was clearly not getting along with the guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
he just he didn't make these moves and you know if you think about this like uh i know you've had | |
| i'm sure you guys are all familiar with curtis yarvin of course and it's one thing he's talked | ||
| about quite a bit where it's like hey this is bigger than one man you know where it's like | ||
| you know where like the president of the united states is like the leader of the executive branch | ||
| in the same way that the queen of england is like the head of state for yeah officially i say but | ||
| doesn't have any real constitutional power how Has a little bit, like, on paper, but isn't really anything. | ||
| He did a big, long bit. | ||
| I'm a big fan of his. | ||
| And he did a long bit on Tucker Carlson today. | ||
| Explaining all that, I hope you guys get him on. | ||
| I mean, he is, he's fantastic. | ||
| But he's just like, no, it's bigger than him. | ||
| It's like, you look at the entire federal government where it's just like, it's like fish in a coral reef. | ||
| And then a giant wave goes over a hurricane. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a great analogy. | |
| It is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the fish are just kind of like, you know, the actual federal employees, there's like, Oh, well, something, you know, every election, something happened where it's like, it's bigger. | ||
| Like that's, you know, and we call that, people call that deep state or the swamp, but it's decentralized. | ||
| It's not some cabal. | ||
| The administrative state. | ||
| Yeah, administrative state. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And it's decentralized, all that. | ||
| Right, these people who exist in government beyond, you know, in between every administration. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| They just, they never go, and then they influence intel. | ||
| And you'll get a president who comes in, and the same people will be like, here's your official report. | ||
| And I think this time, or last time, with Trump, Trump was like, I don't care, America first. | ||
| And they were like, uh oh, he's not listening to us, what do we do? | ||
| And then all of a sudden they were like, uh, he just got elected and we'll impeach him. | ||
| And the same people who said they were gonna, started the process. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yarvin's recommendation in that book, The Machiavellians, would be really good for Trump to read if he comes back in again, because I think the real question is, what does he do differently? | |
| I don't know if he reads books. | ||
| Hold on, hold on. | ||
| If Tucker reads it. | ||
| Let's go back to Kyrie Irving. | ||
| Kyrie Irving refuses to get vaccinated. | ||
| We have the story from Insider.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, but it's really my work out. | |
| Talk to us. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| Things about this. | ||
| I should listen. | ||
| Let's let's let's go back to Kyrie Irving because Luke Luke mentioned | ||
| Kyrie Irving refuses to get vaccinated. | ||
| We have a story from insider.com. | ||
| The Nets are conceding. | ||
| He won't play in home games in a stunning turn of events, man. | ||
| Look, there's there's there's big there's hard falls and they're scary | ||
| There's a lot of people who say, you know, I'm worried about refusing this. | ||
| If I lose my job, how do I feed my kids? | ||
| And I completely understand that. | ||
| But complying has got us to the point where now there's food shortages. | ||
| Now you've got someone like Kyrie Irving who's worked hard his whole life, he's one of the best, he's in the NBA, and now he's gonna potentially lose that, standing up for his beliefs. | ||
| There's still a lot to lose, a lot of hard work people put in. | ||
| Yeah, he's standing up for his principles, and he's putting up millions of dollars, and he's making a stand here. | ||
| Now, he was asked about this. | ||
| He says he doesn't really want a lot of public media attention on this. | ||
| He's trying to, of course, work things out. | ||
| But New York City mandates that people get vaccinated if they want to work there, and he's working for the Brooklyn Nets. | ||
| So this is this is unfolding to a situation where it's not just Kyrie. | ||
| There's a lot of other NBA players that have been very articulate that have been voicing their concerns and have actually been talking about the science and the risk-benefit analysis here when it comes to healthy athletic individuals risking themselves to do a compliance procedure that might have complications that might hurt them and end their careers. | ||
| So there's a lot of things to weigh here. | ||
| There's a lot of things to discuss here. | ||
| But at least some of these NBA guys are starting the conversation, and at least they're making it an issue that can't be avoided. | ||
| Because when you have Kyrie Irving, one of the best players on that team, saying, I'm not going to play home games now because of this ridiculous government mandate, it puts it in your face how over-the-top a lot of this is. | ||
| We also have this story from Timcast.com. | ||
| Former Misfit singer Michael Graves cancels Los Angeles concert over vaccine mandate. | ||
| Now this I have tremendous respect for. | ||
| He says, quote, I have made the decision to not perform on October 13th in LA at the Whiskey A Go Go due to the city's vaccine mandate that is being enforced as of October 7th. | ||
| Graves said in a statement provided to Timcast, I will not perform to a segregated audience. | ||
| I will not participate in any effort to pressure anyone into undergoing an experimental medical procedure to enter | ||
| and dwell in a building as a prerequisite to see me perform. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| If I can't play for all of you, I won't play at all. | ||
| I mean, hey bro, go on the street corner and busk. | ||
| That'd be the coolest thing ever. | ||
| Oh, yeah, that would be. | ||
| Maybe get a security guard or something, but... Giant middle finger, too, to the venue and to all the folks out there. | ||
| Yep, tell everybody, come outside, watch for free. | ||
| You know? | ||
| I think that'd be fantastic, but this is incredible, I mean, to be completely honest. | ||
| There are a lot of people who say a lot of words about, I refuse, you know, this vaccine mandate is bad policy, and a lot of them don't actually put up. | ||
| They don't put their money where their mouth is. | ||
| They'll go and they'll perform all the same at the vaccinated places and be like, oh, what's the big deal? | ||
| You know, if you really oppose the vaccine mandates, then you would oppose them and not be the tool by which these vaccine mandates are implemented. | ||
| So these guys, Kyrie Irving, I'm actually interested because New York City has a performer exemption. | ||
| So that's interesting. | ||
| Like, if Graves were to play in New York City, the executive order says, if you're performing on stage, you don't got to get vaccinated. | ||
| Which I think is just- Makes no sense! | ||
| Of course it doesn't make sense, but like, you're trying to make sense out of things that are like, you know, designed to be nonsensical. | ||
| But what's interesting, I know like a couple, week or two ago, I was watching you and you were saying how, hey, if you oppose the man, and you know, I think caused a little bit of a stir on Twitter, but it's like, yeah, if you oppose the mandate, but you still, you know, get the vaccine anyways, then you don't really oppose it. | ||
| And I get what you're saying. | ||
| Or if you go along with the mandate. | ||
| I said, if someone claims that they oppose the vaccine mandate, but then out of fear of losing their job, go and get the vaccine mandate anyway, they're not actually opposing. | ||
| They don't actually oppose it. | ||
| What I mean to say is, how is it opposition to something that you're actively participating in? | ||
| Yeah, you can dislike something without opposing it. | ||
| People are looking at the word oppose like, I think it shouldn't be done versus oppose and I'm actively standing up against it. | ||
| Yeah, that's fair because there's so many folks out there it's like that, you know, they don't have, you know, they're not professional athletes, they're not professional performers where, you know, they're pulling down, you know, 60, 70 grand a year, they got family. | ||
| You know, they don't have a ton in savings, and it's like, they don't have a lot of runway. | ||
| And it's like, hey, they lost their job. | ||
| But look where we are. | ||
| No, absolutely, 100%. | ||
| I think that's why it's good for folks like this to start doing it. | ||
| It's like, OK, maybe there's something here. | ||
| And it's even better when you're seeing an industry where it makes them hurt where you're talking about the pilots. | ||
| And also, it's the flight attendants. | ||
| I got a DM earlier. | ||
| It's like, hey, don't forget about the flight attendants. | ||
| Cause they make a lot less money and also, but they're in the exact same boat and there's plenty of them too. | ||
| And it's a big one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a lot of Southwest pilots. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
From what we're hearing, it's about half or maybe just under half are unvaccinated. | |
| So that's where when the pilots were talking to him, we know quite a few Southwest pilots, you know, being in the Navy, a lot of pilots from the Navy or Marine Corps go right into working with Southwest as an example in this case. | ||
| And we know a few. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And, and that's what they're saying is if they don't do this and maybe, maybe it's only 25 or 30% that just refused. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's still significant. | |
| It's a lot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you think Southwest already has their problems aside from these most recent. | |
| Before all this. | ||
| So if you think you have like a little less than half of all the pilots are in vaccines, that's like the estimate right now. | ||
| And let's say like half of those, which is at the other estimate, half of those. | ||
| So yeah, 20, 25, maybe 30% at most are going to like lose their job. | ||
| That's a bad news. | ||
| And also you got I gotta point out this one gal who wrote to me. | ||
| Her name's Crystal. | ||
| She sent me a DM. | ||
| She says, thank you for speaking about the Southwest Airlines. | ||
| Please don't forget the thousands of flight attendants that are facing termination as well. | ||
| My 20 plus years are being flushed down the drain. | ||
| Thank you for all you do. | ||
| But let's think about what the logical conclusion to these efforts, right? | ||
| It'll be a lot harder to fly. | ||
| Demand will still be there, but the prices will skyrocket. | ||
| There's substantially less pilots, there's less flight attendants, there's going to be less availability. | ||
| What do you get? | ||
| Hunger Games. | ||
| You're going to get very wealthy elites. | ||
| You're going to get the people who are willing to wear the masks. | ||
| Was it Hunger Games that had the AVOXs we were talking about? | ||
| Yeah, that was Hunger Games. | ||
| I guess this wasn't in the movie. | ||
| Yeah, no, it was part of the book. | ||
| In the book, the rich people in the capital have servants whose tongues have been cut out? | ||
| That's what it was? | ||
| Yeah, so it's so interesting you mention the Hunger Games, because the way I see it, Kyrie Irving is really channeling what the African-American community is feeling right now. | ||
| And these celebrities saying this is a counter to the Hunger Games, because they're saying, no, we're not going to do this. | ||
| Not only that, normal people who are afraid to lose their jobs, they're not alone. | ||
| So seeing all these captains do this, and seeing all these celebrities do this, this has got to be incredibly encouraging. | ||
| At the same time, if regular people walk off their jobs, say, start homesteading, which I think would be good, I think that's fantastic, just realize we're going to live in a world where only the wealthy elites are traveling internationally. | ||
| The wealthy elites are the only... It's going to be like Elysium, almost. | ||
| Everyone's going to be living in, like, you know... Do these people want this? | ||
| I'd imagine. | ||
| They want a surf class. | ||
| Also, it's Southwest, because that's the budget airline. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They're the ones that's hurting too. | ||
| Like, the folks who can afford it, can handle it, like, they're flying either another airline, they're flying up front, right? | ||
| They're flying business or first class, or they're, or some would be flying private, they're flying, you know, any of those. | ||
| Like, the budget airline is for, like, the everyday folks. | ||
| Hey, it's a cheap ticket, gets me from where I got to go, taking the family to Disney. | ||
| I got a business, you know, like, that's what that is. | ||
| And it's like, it's going to hurt them the most. | ||
| It's not hurting, you know, the big boys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know if you guys ever heard of the term, the great reset. | ||
| Yeah, but a lot of globalists, especially at the World Economic Forum, came together and said that people are flying too much, people are consuming too much red meat, people are enjoying life too much, and they need to be controlled and regulated to the point where they have no privacy, own nothing, and they're happier than ever. | ||
| So when you look at what's happening now, especially with the larger economic consequences, the government has their fingerprints all over it. | ||
| Would helping spur on a lot of troubling times that ... are going to be coming very soon whether it's lockdowns ... whether it's mandates whether it's restrictions whether it's ... regulations whether it's taxes everything government is doing ... is trying to stop any kind of prosperity any kind of ... sovereignty any kind of Liberty and freedom and trying ... to benefit of course the corporate billionaire class ... that has greatly benefited from. | ||
| Every one of those policies so what we're seeing here is a ... clash point but it's a clash point that's not started by ... pilots and stewardesses and Kyrie Irving it's a reaction to ... something that may be more methodical that may be done on ... purpose in order to spur on more of a economic destruction ... and calamity that should be coming soon. | ||
| Is it war? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Some people say economic warfare is war. | |
| Fifth generational warfare. | ||
| Target supply lines, crush them. | ||
| And then, what have we seen over the past few decades? | ||
| One of the biggest problems, one of the biggest weaknesses we face as a country is capital incentives. | ||
| You find a powerful individual or a high-powered company, and then you can easily offer them money to guide them in the direction you want. | ||
| See, the thing about the Chinese Communist Party and the authoritarians is that they're ideologically driven and authoritarian, so their incentives are all based on whether I'm told to do it or the tribe wants it. | ||
| In the United States, there could be a company and all you gotta do is chip one step at a time. | ||
| Here's some money, do this. | ||
| Here's some money, do that. | ||
| And eventually you can steer them in a wrong direction. | ||
| For example, if a bunch of contributions are coming in to politicians who are advocating for sending our manufacturing overseas, and then all of a sudden the middle class gets gutted, which has happened, The center will not hold. | ||
| There's no center left. | ||
| Our politicians have literally gutted us, and it was easy to exploit them into doing it. | ||
| Look, we see what's going on with Swalwell and Fang Fang. | ||
| You know, Dianne Feinstein and her driver. | ||
| We saw Mike Pompeo come out and say that there is, you know, the Chinese have infiltrated us every level. | ||
| So I'm wondering if we're seeing all these shortages and all this bad policy simply because this is a means of war. | ||
| They play the long game, but the Chinese, I mean, they know, like they think in decades and centuries, well, we're thinking about the next election cycle. | ||
| Like we don't think that further past. | ||
| And so like, that was, I know that's kind of one thing you want to talk about, but that was my, you know, that whole area, Asia Pacific was mine. | ||
| And also, you know, Jack Posobiec was one of the Intel guys at my unit. | ||
| That's how we became friends. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That was like, that was our connection. | ||
| That's how I kind of eventually found my way. | ||
| And now I'm, I'm here like few years later. | ||
| It's crazy, but yeah, it's, uh, that was our big, Focus that side of the world was China. | ||
| So and I did a couple staff jobs. | ||
| I was an admiral staff and I drafted tiny little parts of the war plans for China if anything with Taiwan were to happen or South China Sea and also a separate war plan for North Korea. | ||
| So, you know, obviously I didn't write the whole thing. | ||
| I wrote a little part of it. | ||
| It's a huge huge document and it goes through admirals and generals in this massive process. | ||
| But one of the things with the whole China thing is on the military side. | ||
| It's like It's scary, but that's the thing. | ||
| That's not where this war is being fought. | ||
| It's economic. | ||
| It's informational. | ||
| You know, that's where the real war is going to fight. | ||
| It's the future. | ||
| It's fourth and fifth generation. | ||
| It absolutely is. | ||
| I would anticipate limited war though, unfortunately. | ||
| This could be something. | ||
| I don't think China wants a war. | ||
| Well, hold on, hold on. | ||
| They keep it limited. | ||
| Like it'll be like a Taiwanese. | ||
| Let me pull that story up to set the stage for this, because we do have major developments. | ||
| From TimCast.com, Taiwan strengthening military to defend against China. | ||
| During a speech on Taiwan's National Day, October 10th, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen warned that the country would be strengthening its military to defend Taiwan's sovereignty against the Chinese Communist Party, saying, After taking complete control of Hong Kong and suppressing democracy activists, the Beijing authorities also shifted away from the path of political and economic development that they had followed since reform and opening up began decades ago. | ||
| At the same time, regional order is being challenged in the South and East China Seas. | ||
| The routinization of Chinese military activity in Taiwan's Southwestern Air Defense Identification Zone, at is, has seriously affected both our national security and | ||
| aviation safety. | ||
| She stressed that Taiwan is willing to do its part to contribute to the peaceful development | ||
| of the region and that Taiwan's position on cross-strait relations remains the same. | ||
| Neither our goodwill nor our commitments will change. | ||
| However, Tsai explained that maintaining peaceful relations requires China to also maintain the | ||
| peace. She then said that Taiwan will continue to strengthen its national defense to protect | ||
| its people from China. | ||
| Interestingly, someone superchatted us just a moment ago saying that it looks like military | ||
| areas building up in Taiwanese streets. | ||
| So, biting his knees. | ||
| But, um, I know that you were mentioning you had experience in these areas. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What do you think's going on with this? | ||
| I mean, we've been hearing over and over again, more and more stories. | ||
| They've been saying that for a long, long time, and that's one of the things that Taiwan has always been, like, this big, big, you know, focus for the United States for a long time. | ||
| Matter of fact, the first time the United States ever threatened to use nuclear weapons against an enemy was, like, Eisenhower back in the 50s. | ||
| Like, hey, we'll nuke ya. | ||
| And, but one thing that's interesting though is that one thing, and this is open source so I don't really feel like we're talking about it, but right now is, everyone talks about an invasion. | ||
| A lot of folks might not appreciate that one, like, the Chinese currently, like, don't have the sea lift capability. | ||
| And it might not seem like much, but the thing is that, you know, one of the things they teach you with, you know, all the big like the fancy war colleges and all this other stuff and all the big strategy stuff, is that, you know, they call it the stopping power of water. | ||
| Like, it's really hard to move an army across just, I mean, look, think about the massive undertaking it took to just cross the English Channel. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I mean, it's a huge deal. | ||
| Like, moving an army, and you need an army if you want to, like, actually control something. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| Well, if you want to invade, if you want to seize, hold, and control territory, like, you do need boots and you need to stay there, right? | ||
| And moving that is just a massive undertaking. | ||
| So they currently don't even have the sealant for that. | ||
| Oh, you make it? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or you use sowing dissent, propaganda, cyber warfare. | ||
| That's a different story, right? | ||
| And if the door gets open from the inside, so to speak, right? | ||
| And they let them in, that's a different story. | ||
| But if you're talking about like a confrontational, you know, like them doing a D-Day kind of thing, I don't think that's... But let's be real, that would be... At this point, I think that would be like saying, you know, if the Chinese were to launch a trebuchet at us, it's like, no, no, no, we don't need that ground invasion anymore. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's fourth and fifth generation. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Economics, manipulation, propaganda. | ||
| Hollywood culture. | ||
| And we have to understand, multinational corporations have sold this country out for pennies on the dollar. | ||
| I mean, the access that they give them, the influence that they give them. | ||
| John Cena, one of America's most prominent celebrities, is like, I'm sorry I'm so sorry for recognizing a country during ... his tour not even saying anything political it's embarrassing ... now I definitely don't think China wants to get into a hot ... war yet I don't think they have the resources especially the ... oil you need a lot of oil especially if you have a Navy. | ||
| And there's going to be an energy crunch soon that a lot ... of people are going to wake up to and it's going to be very ... difficult but also at the same time I'm also thinking if you ... are China and you have the failed the leadership of Joe ... Biden you have his actions of just how horrible everything ... went in Afghanistan. | ||
| You must be thinking to yourself this is the most ... perfect opportune time to do something very aggressive ... because Biden is literally going to give us weapons and ... he's going to give us all the all the information to all the ... people in that area and he's going to give us all the help ... that he can when we attack Taiwan because that that was ... his policy in Afghanistan it was blundered almost ... deliberately so if you're trying to at the same time you ... see a big opportunity with the Biden presidency. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or what if this is just a distraction? | |
| I mean honestly, we had talked about it before, the long game. | ||
| CCP is really good at playing the long game. | ||
| And in talking with people in Taiwan now, generationally there's differences. | ||
| We as Americans tend to view things black and white. | ||
| We see Taiwan as it's been for the last 20 years as an example. | ||
| But the new generations coming up have a lot more in common with the general Chinese people than they do with their elders necessarily. | ||
| They may not be opposed to becoming one with China. | ||
| And if you're the CCP looking at the long game, sure, we can do some positioning, we can throw the Americans off, but maybe the long game is truly just waiting it out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because they don't have to do their business. | |
| It's not a long game. | ||
| The war is now. | ||
| The conflict's happening right now. | ||
| But when they go over willingly. | ||
| Yeah, you're right. | ||
| There's like there's like 40 flights a day going between Taiwan and mainland China. | ||
| You know, that's great. | ||
| Have you guys ever been to China or anything like that? | ||
| I've been to Hong Kong, and I've been there for a lot of the protests there. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| There's great stuff you did, by the way. | ||
| This was like street warfare on levels that I haven't seen before, comparatively maybe to the Yellow Vest Movement in France, but this was like gore, blood, and like seriousness on the streets. | ||
| It's great if you go through the Beijing airport or the Shanghai airport, which is awesome. | ||
| It's kind of funny, almost. | ||
| It'll have in English, and there's like, go to the terminal, like the domestic terminal, like within China, right? | ||
| And then the international terminal, right? | ||
| And then the international terminal's every other country. | ||
| It says, international flights, and Hong Kong and Taiwan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Because, you know, it's like, that's not international, you know? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Like, that's how they very much look at it. | ||
| But I really do, I think you guys are right. | ||
| You're right, the war is being fought now. | ||
| And I think you're also right, Colin, where it comes down to, it's like, look, I think that the generation, I think they're going to open the door from the inside and they're just going to go over willingly. | ||
| And it might not be, you know, this year might not be this decade, but you know, it might be soon. | ||
| And honestly, that's the smart, if you were China, that's the smart move instead of like sending ships over and kicking the door down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You don't want to blow it up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What's the value of Taiwan? | ||
| Is it the infrastructure? | ||
| And then they're importing stuff from mainland China? | ||
| Also national identity. | ||
| Bannon said it was Silicon Valley West. | ||
| They produce so much of our silicon chips, we've got shortages now. | ||
| And it's making it impossible to get, particularly cars. | ||
| So an invasion would be bad because you'd end up destroying infrastructure, and that's what they want is the infrastructure. | ||
| Do they have tunnels in Taiwan? | ||
| Is it like an underground... In Vietnam, the reason why we couldn't win is because they had prepared tunnels for like two decades before. | ||
| Among other things, yeah. | ||
| Uh, I don't think as far as that goes, but the thing is, I think if they just let them in willingly, if they're not fighting, like, if you think, if you're China, that's a smart move. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| It's the only move I can think of. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Otherwise, you're gonna have to blow up the thing you want to take. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| And hold them under a police that, like, nobody wants that, they don't want that. | ||
| And look, they're good at doing that. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| Instead of, like, shooting you or anything like that, we'll just buy you off. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, that's what they did to Africa. | ||
| That's what I was saying before. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Africa, exactly. | |
| About the exploitation in the United States. | ||
| They're eating a lot of shit. | ||
| Our weakness. | ||
| Trump canceled that program and Biden vetoed it when he got into office and implemented it back again. | ||
| I'm like, what are you doing? | ||
| up getting arrested because they're effectively selling U.S. | ||
| research to China. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Selling us out. | ||
| Trump canceled that program and Biden vetoed it when he got into office and implemented | ||
| it back again. | ||
| I'm like, what are you doing? | ||
| Like, how does this make sense? | ||
| And again, everything's for purchase. | ||
| Everything has a price. | ||
| And the Chinese literally have a blank book. | ||
| They have their own Federal Reserve System, where they literally print money out of thin air. | ||
| They have a whole economic system that's based out of just numbers that they print on a screen. | ||
| So with that kind of unlimited money, they could do anything they want. | ||
| And they're very methodical, especially with their Belt and Road Initiative, especially with their infrastructure now through Kazakhstan and Afghanistan, their connections with Iran and the energy that they get from them. | ||
| This is a very methodical move that the Chinese understand is going to be a long-term, but they understand that it started a long time ago. | ||
| We're just realizing it started. | ||
| They realized a long time ago, hey, we got to do this, and they are. | ||
| They're playing 4D chess, and we're playing tic-tac-toe. | ||
| It's not even checkers. | ||
| I think there's a lot of individuals in the U.S. | ||
| I think a lot of people who, like, you know, watch the show, for instance, probably know a lot of this and have started taking the individual actions to protect themselves. | ||
| But without a strong collective, like a United States and a shared culture and vision, we're getting, we're getting, they're eating our lunch. | ||
| I think the British played the long game. | ||
| You guys ever get that vibe? | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| The British monarchy, they're like, we don't do anything. | ||
| They're just sitting in the road blocking traffic but saying that they're not doing anything. | ||
| Like, I'm not doing... | ||
| I think they used to, I mean, and now it's like, it's kind of like a, just a crappy, like, quasi-socialist country. | ||
| It's really sad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's bad. | |
| It's really sad. | ||
| It's like, to me, in my, in my mind, I've been, I've been to the UK several times, I just... Yeah. | ||
| It's like, oh wow, this used to be so amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But there was a lot of problems too, don't get me wrong. | ||
| I mean, you know, colonialism, you know. | ||
| Yeah, that's what kind of started all this. | ||
| Taiwan was a British colony. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah? | |
| It was from the opium wars. | ||
| Taiwan was? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They, they set up an operation. | ||
| I think it was Taiwan, right? | ||
| And, well, that, that allowed sanctuary for the, the Chinese government when it was taken over by communists to flee, which is my understanding, right? | ||
| Yep, yep, that's a big one. | ||
| So technically, you know, I love that meme of West Taiwan. | ||
| You guys have seen it. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, the all of China mainland is called West Taiwan. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, communism is, I think if communism succeeds and expands and whatever, whatever, whatever China is, they found out something clever. | ||
| It's not just about doing communism. | ||
| It's about manipulating the public, giving them limited freedoms so they can at least satiate themselves, but then you use the iron fist for everything else. | ||
| It's a clever way to run things. | ||
| The problem with Soviet Union is, you know, books and tracking and stuff. | ||
| One loaf of bread wasn't working. | ||
| They weren't getting the supplies they needed. | ||
| So China found a way to mix markets with the lower class and then give themselves absolute authority on top. | ||
| So all these businesses have a Chinese Communist Party branch or whatever. | ||
| That, I think that will absolutely wipe out humanity. | ||
| So if you... What do you think is going to wipe out humanity there? | ||
| I think if Chinese-style state communism, or whatever you want to call it, succeeds in becoming this global force... Crypto-communism? | ||
| Yes, this will decimate, probably the wrong choice of words because the root is to reduce by 10%, but it would be a catastrophe in that centralization of planning does not work. | ||
| It works in some areas, like, oh, you want to make cell phones? | ||
| Great, have a planned, like, here's the parts we need and you can organize it. | ||
| But you can't organize for a billion people. | ||
| You can't organize for a million people properly. | ||
| It is the decentralized wisdom of the masses. | ||
| Centralization works if your centralized system is part of a decentralized system. | ||
| So it's just a big node on the network. | ||
| So when we have different businesses, like the airline knows the airlines, and the dairy industry knows the dairy industry, that makes sense. | ||
| It's a decentralized grid. | ||
| But imagine having one government guy who's, like, overseeing everything. | ||
| And it's like, dude, you used to be a bus driver, and now you're trying to tell us how to produce oil? | ||
| Thanks, Maduro, and the country is not- now they're- what are they doing? | ||
| They're doing a new currency in Venezuela? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| It's- it doesn't work. | ||
| One person is not smart enough to run. | ||
| Imagine someone thinking, being so arrogant, they're like, I am but one person, but I could be the CEO of every Fortune 500 company simultaneously. | ||
| You'd be like, that's insane. | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| The CEOs barely do that. | ||
| But they brought the smart people from the universities, don't worry. | ||
| But but if they dare sneeze in the wrong direction of the ... Communist Party they get sent to the work camps I mean look ... what happened to Alibaba look what happened to so many ... entrepreneurs in China that have been literally taken out ... just for the smallest microaggression of talking ... against the state and and again this shows you how bad ... this is another point that we also have to entertain here ... because with massive centralization comes major ... problems that China is dealing with right now. | ||
| Including major resource shortages they're trying to ... make a desert into a fertile land of farming because they ... know resource wise they're screwed there's a lot of very ... significant problems in China because of the ... centralization and I think we also have to examine that ... because they're not as strong and as powerful with their military. | ||
| I imagine that people hate the government there. | ||
| to convince the world because they have a very hard ... | ||
| times even just making their society run in some ... | ||
|
unidentified
|
instance imagine people hate the government there just ... | |
| hate it well depends their raised as young children to ... | ||
| love the stage to obey the state and they know if they ... | ||
| dare even to criticize it they lose privileges they lose ... | ||
| the ability to send their their children into good ... | ||
| schools they use they lose the ability to travel they ... | ||
| lose the ability to have good internet because they ... | ||
| criticized the government or smoke to cigarette in the ... | ||
| in the wrong place or jaywalked. | ||
| So there's also that aspect of it. | ||
| And consider how you control people with tribalism. | ||
| So they're raised to hate America as well. | ||
| To be told that they're the bad ones, they're evil, and then they cheer when they win. | ||
| We're winning! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yay! | |
| They're losing! | ||
| So that makes people, you know, it boosts their morale, makes them want to be involved in that mob mentality, essentially. | ||
| I heard that there's like Chinese hero movies now where they're fighting Americans, and the Americans are like how we had the Russians in the 80s and 90s. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| I want to bring it back closer to home with what's happening, because we can talk about the potential for war and the crisis. | ||
| I want to pull up this story from Reuters. | ||
| World food prices hit 10-year peak from the Food and Agricultural Organization, which is based out of Rome. | ||
| This is the UN, actually. | ||
| It's a UN agency saying it. | ||
| FAO's Food Price Index, which tracks international prices of mostly global traded food commodities, averaged 130 points last month. | ||
| The highest reading since September 2011, according to the agency's data. | ||
| And check this out. | ||
| America's bare shelves, Walmart and Costco, limit toilet paper sales, while toy companies warn parents their kids' Christmas gifts won't arrive in time, thanks to backlog at ports, rail yards, and on the roads. | ||
| Supply chain problems that have been tormenting retailers for months are showing up in America's stores. | ||
| Around the country, there are shortages of goods on shelves in Target, Costco, Home Depot, and Sears. | ||
| They're saying that the cost of shipping from China to LA is now at $20,000. | ||
| Four times what it cost last October. | ||
| And I think it's like ten times as high as it normally is supposed to be. | ||
| What do you think this means for people in America? | ||
| I think, you know, we talk about the people who can stand up, who can reject the mandates, and I think we talk about this foreign conflict, but it all comes back to whether or not someone's going to be able to have food on their plate. | ||
| Complying won't get you there. | ||
| Ignoring what's happening around the world won't get you there. | ||
| I mean, this may be one of the hardest times for a lot of people. | ||
| We've gone through this golden age where people have lived so peacefully, so perfectly, with movies, with pizza. | ||
| Man, you pick up your phone, you go, pizza, and then boom, a pizza shows up. | ||
| You can actually pick up your phone today, press the button and say, order me a pizza, and then it'll find you a restaurant, you can get it. | ||
| Now all of a sudden we're being told our supplies are being strained. | ||
| Our food prices are through the roof. | ||
| Hard to find some supplies. | ||
| People are now having to experience what actual survival and hardship is gonna be. | ||
| And there's war on the, around the horizon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| If people don't get their act together, man. | ||
| Start standing up, standing up for themselves, being responsible. | ||
| We talk about hard times. | ||
| I don't think anyone's actually thought through what a hard time is going to look like. | ||
| And I think we're starting to see that just from, so this is really simple, something really small and something that I noticed is that there's less selection on the store shelves. | ||
| Like why don't we have 600 types of peanut butter to choose from anymore? | ||
| Because we just don't have that anymore. | ||
| So it's starting small and it's going to get really bad because they're so backed up. | ||
| Like off the coast of California, we're talking about how the shipping ships, the crate ships, whatever they're called. | ||
| Cargo ships. | ||
| Cargo ships. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Are all backed up. | ||
| And there's like hundreds of thousands of packages on there. | ||
| Like you're talking about Christmas being delayed and all this other stuff. | ||
| These are the hard times coming. | ||
| Like I don't, there's no way to avoid it. | ||
| Well, I guess it means strong men are coming after that, right? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's my thinking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've just been so conditioned to be comfortable. | |
| Conditioned to be comfortable. | ||
| Well, we're also extremely spoiled. | ||
| And I kind of recognize this, and I bet you did too, Tim, after traveling a lot, | ||
| going around the world. | ||
| I mean, I was in Zimbabwe, I was in Venezuela, you were in Venezuela as well. | ||
| When you stay with people, when you live with people, when you see the world from an international kind of | ||
| perspective, from a third world perspective, | ||
| it really gives you a lot of, a feeling of humbleness, | ||
| especially when you come back here and you have so much abundance, | ||
| much abundance and you have so much options. | ||
| And and us being spoiled is only going to add to the ... disaster of what's coming because there's also going to ... be a lot of fears about panic buying there's also going to be ... a lot of people who are unprepared for this there's ... going to be a lot of latte drinking flip-flop wearing ... yuppies who are going to try to tweet their way out of this ... problem and there's no way of hitting the computer keyboard ... to help you in a situation where resources become very hard to get. | ||
| So there's going to be a big reality check for a lot of individuals to see how useful they are, to see the skills that they have, to see what they could do, and it's really going to lead to a very transitionary time that I think we're starting to begin to head into right now. | ||
| I was just thinking about, you know, we've talked about people in cities being unable to survive in the event of, like, a serious catastrophe, and then, you know, Luke mentioning these hippie flip-flop latte-drinking guys, and I'm just sitting here imagining—this is the first—my first thought was, well, I'm good. | ||
| You know, I got—we got chickens, and a garden, and we're building more, and we're gonna be a little bit more responsible growing up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In the middle of nowhere. | |
| in the middle of nowhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then I'm like, what would they do? | ||
| And I'm thinking like, well, they might start attacking each other, | ||
| stealing each other's food. | ||
| But what happens when they don't have anything? | ||
| What happens when they can't even, there's no people left in the cities | ||
| and they're all fleeing. | ||
| And then I'm imagining like coming outside one day, I hear like there's like two in the morning | ||
| and you hear a rustling. | ||
| And then it's like someone here is like, Tim, I think there's an animal outside. | ||
| And we grabbed the 410 and we go outside and then we're like looking around with the light on. | ||
| And then all of a sudden we see some like scraggly looking hipster wearing a flannel shirt | ||
| that's all worn. | ||
| And he's like, he's grabbed my chicken. | ||
| And I caught him in the lights and I'm like, hey you, hippie, hipster, give me that chicken back. | ||
| And he's like, and then he runs. | ||
| And he's like, help I need a latte. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't have my latte! | |
| I need some milk, but it is it is funny to think but I'm like that's like a real possibility these people | ||
| Don't know how to survive. What are they gonna do? | ||
| They're gonna have to look if it ever came down to the point where the cities didn't function properly | ||
| It's very difficult to get food and resources into cities, right? | ||
| And if we're talking about oil prices through the roof if we're talking about global elites that are like people | ||
| shouldn't be driving Then these people in the cities who've never grown a | ||
| vegetable in their life And I'm not saying everyone in cities never done that | ||
| people of gardens, but I'm saying the ones who didn't the true | ||
| Hipster woke, you know socialist types They're they're not just gonna roll over | ||
| They're gonna start screaming and pounding on walls and then one day you out in West Virginia are gonna see to the | ||
| to your shock A hipster wearing like some kind of expensive clothes they got at the thrift store that was like, you know, for some reason. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Grabbing your chicken and running and like, what are they going to do with that thing? | ||
| But hey, man, I would not be surprised if like in five years you see things like that. | ||
| What about just like an upper middle class? | ||
| You have like, instead of like some hippie, you just have like a mortgage broker trying to steal your chickens. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like really? | ||
| Like folks like that, a lot of folks who don't really have the wherewithal to like survive. | ||
| And like, fortunately, you guys and a lot of folks we know, like, We're a little prepared when it comes to that sort of thing. | ||
| You guys are out in the middle of nowhere, it's nice. | ||
| That's something that I always think about too. | ||
| Here's what I used to think about for a while, and now I'm having second thoughts after all the COVID events, was a lot of folks who were really well off or get to a certain point, it's like their bug out location, a ton of folks were buying property in New Zealand. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| And mountain fortresses, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think Peter Thiel, like, bought himself a passport, and he's got a compound out there, and it's like, hey, you know, if the crap hits the fan, like, get the fan, get in the jet, and off we go. | ||
| And I can't blame him. | ||
| And it's great, because if you think about it, it's like, it's in the middle of nowhere. | ||
| It's very hard to get to. | ||
| It has mild summers, mild winters, tons of natural resources. | ||
| Like, I spent, like, a month there. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| Food everywhere. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's like there's no natural predators. | ||
| And it has what's funny is they have like 4 million people. | ||
| And I think it's like 30 million sheep and 50 million heads of cattle, right out there. | ||
| And it's like, it's like Lord of the Rings is gorgeous. | ||
| And it's like, you can go out there and pretty much live off the land one way or another. | ||
| And it's like, that's a very safe place. | ||
| But then with a lot, you know, some of the restrictions and authoritarian government, I think you could still hide out there pretty well. | ||
| Well, in Latin America, your dollar goes a long way. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And a lot of Latin American police officers and politicians really love getting tipped. | ||
| We're talking about when the dollar is... Of course. | ||
| And it's going to create a very, very unique, interesting situation. | ||
| People in the comment section are saying that there's going to be soy-seeking hordes. | ||
| People wandering about looking for soy. | ||
| But a lot of also very powerful people bought a lot of property in Latin America. | ||
| And a lot of people are also looking into Latin America because the police officers there and the government there doesn't have the tools to enforce a lot of the ridiculousness as well. | ||
| You brought up mortgage broker. | ||
| And so to be more practical than being like, you know, you hear rustling, you go outside and there's a hipster like eating one of your chickens and he's like, no, but I think what might be closer to reality is, you know, you live out, you get a homestead, you move out maybe to like central West Virginia. | ||
| There's a lot of farms out here and they're amazing. | ||
| Almost all the farms you can pull up and you buy fresh foods. | ||
| We went to one place, they had like a trailer and they had like, we got tenderloins. | ||
| They were amazing. | ||
| So what'll happen is one day, a mortgage broker will walk up on your property with a briefcase wearing a nice little suit, and you'll be like, you know, what can I do you for? | ||
| And he'll be like, I need to work. | ||
| The cities can't sustain me. | ||
| They're, you know, what am I supposed to do? | ||
| You know, so I'm out here trying to find a job. | ||
| I can do anything. | ||
| And then, you know, this farmer is going to be like, what can you do? | ||
| What did you work? | ||
| I'm a mortgage broker. | ||
| Do you know how to, you know, till a field? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Do you know how to help tend to the chickens? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Cows? | ||
| No. | ||
| I don't think there's anything you can do for me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe you can lift heavy things. | ||
| We'll figure it out. | ||
| But then what happens is when this guy gets rejected, he comes back in the middle of the night and tries to steal because people are not going to roll over. | ||
| They need to survive. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just like a desperate bear will make desperate moves. | ||
| He's going to be like, hey, I have these Federal Reserve fiat notes I could give you. | ||
| Do you want them? | ||
| And I don't care if he has millions of them. | ||
| If he can't have real life skills to fix things, build things or make his own way, | ||
| I'm not interested in working with any of those people. | ||
| Tim, are you gonna be like the next Rick Grimes? | ||
| You know, from Walking Dead? | ||
| No, I'm just kidding. | ||
| Oh, you said a walking, like zombie apocalypse. | ||
| He was like the leader, but it was just one of those things like he was like the leader of a, | ||
| like at a compound and they're traveling. | ||
| It's like all the stuff you guys have described, like sounds like Walking Dead. | ||
| We have a caravan. | ||
| Some people are- Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| People in the comment section are saying soybeans instead of zombies. | ||
| There's gonna be a bunch of zoebees around, running around. | ||
| So I mean, it could be like the Walking Dead, but again, that's kind of, | ||
| it's very entertaining to talk about these kinds of cultural issues. | ||
| When you kind of do look at South Africa, the situation there has already turned pretty bad. | ||
| Human beings are very resilient. | ||
| They'll always find a way. | ||
| That's why when you said people will become hardened, people will become smarter, people will become more in tune to the land. | ||
| I think there's also going to be a lot of vast opportunities for that where a lot of city dwellers are going to return to farming self-sustainable lifestyles because of necessity. | ||
| And I think that's going to be a good thing right now. | ||
| Most of our farming is factory farming. | ||
| A lot of it is Monsanto. | ||
| A lot of it is GMO. | ||
| A lot of it is absolute bullcrap. | ||
| A lot of it is owned by Bill Gates. | ||
| to try to create fake meat. | ||
| But again, when things fall down, we're also going to understand that the authorities won't be able to hold things together, and there's going to be a free-for-all. | ||
| It's already they can't hold things together. | ||
| When we see these stories about the federal government's heavy hand making statements about going after parents, that's like a frightened bear. | ||
| It's an animal trying to look bigger and scare you. | ||
| It's the animal puffing up. | ||
| It's the blowfish going, It's like, okay, I'll stay away from you, but yeah, it's kind of it's kind of fake authority, too Because like real authority comes heavy and hard with weapons. | ||
| Yeah, they're trying to be nice This is like the federal government's like hey do we say but we're not gonna mess with you But like a real authoritarian government would be like gonna mow down who disagrees and then everyone else do what I say But in a country of 330 million the federal government does not have the capacity for policing something so large and so vast I mean look If it really came down to the fact that people were losing, came down to the people losing confidence in the government, Alaska would not be part of this country anymore. | ||
| It's just too far away. | ||
| And it'd be difficult, it would just become something different. | ||
| I mean, look at the collapse of the Roman Empire. | ||
| Different countries emerged from it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
While we're talking about Alaska, it's arguably not as beautiful as New Zealand, but you can still homestead there. | |
| I was out in Nome, Alaska two years ago, and now you can get waterfront ocean property. | ||
| As long as you do, I think, some minimal upgrade every year, you can have your own plot of land out there. | ||
| Now, a can of Pringles back then, you know, three years ago would cost you about $9, so it's probably $50 today. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Somebody at home can back me up. | ||
| But yeah, this home setting is still a real thing where you can go in. | ||
| But winter. | ||
| But winter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, then the winter runs dark. | |
| Ice fishing, right? | ||
| People in the comment section are saying the Woking Dead. | ||
| I love the comment section so much. | ||
| I seriously appreciate you guys and your puns. | ||
| Hawaii would be out. | ||
| I mean, Hawaii, I don't think, can Hawaii sustain its population without import? | ||
| It's the fracture of the empire when you see Hawaii go. | ||
| I lived in Guam for four years, right? | ||
| Guam, you know, U.S. | ||
| territory, right? | ||
| I lived there for four years. | ||
| Station out there. | ||
| And that's where Jack and I were the same unit out there. | ||
| And, and yeah, it's out there. | ||
| I mean, yeah, it does really well to sustain like the local population, but everything that's there, I mean, if it just everything devolved, I mean, the upside is there's fresh water there. | ||
| And, but as far as like the food. | ||
| You want to have food real quick. | ||
| I was reading that on a lot of these islands in the Pacific, there's too many people now. | ||
| And so all of the human waste is contaminating the water around the islands. | ||
| It's contaminating the groundwater, so that's where they get their water to drink. | ||
| And so then people run out into the ocean to do their business, | ||
| and now it's contaminating everything else. | ||
| Like, there's a limit to many people. | ||
| You got to pull it out, like, at least. | ||
| I mean, the regulation, I think for us, like, for most ships, merchant ships, | ||
| or even, like, Navy ships, or whatever, it's like two and a half miles, I think. | ||
| You have to be two and a half miles to pump it out, which it really is, because, I mean, you know, all the fish poop there, too, you know? | ||
| So, you know, but that's one of the, like, but if you're just out on the beach, you know, you're running out there, just waiting out there to go, yeah, that's a different story. | ||
| That's bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The funniest thing was instead of, you know, pumping it ways away, you could pump it in port as long as you paid the host country. | |
| Yes! | ||
| So you could pump it onto another ship, like a poop ship. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But the funniest thing was seeing the poop ship just have the pipe go across the ship onto the other side and then they pump it into their own port and you're paying them for every gallon. | |
| Yeah, like in some countries they'll just let you pump over the side. | ||
| Like in there, like Spain, surprisingly Spain, we're like, what do we do for like our sewage service while we're in port? | ||
| And they're like, just pump over the side. | ||
| Do you guys remember that story where Dave Matthews' band went over the bridge in Chicago? | ||
| And the bus driver hit the release and it sprayed a boat going under the bridge. | ||
| It was Dave's tour bus? | ||
| I think that's what it was, right? | ||
| It was Dave Matthews' band? | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Because the bridges in Chicago are like grates. | ||
| So as the bus went over, I guess the driver was like, no one will notice, it's going into the river. | ||
| And there was a boat underneath and they all got sprayed. | ||
| As a proud trailer park enthusiast, Blackwater is not fun. | ||
| People don't understand. | ||
| They don't get it. | ||
| They think RV life is glorious and you're gonna be like those Instagram babes. | ||
| I mean, no one asks the question and whenever I see one of these Instagram babes or like YouTube people, van life people, I'm like, where do you poop? | ||
| You're making it look all glorious and nice, but show us the real footage of you cleaning out the black tank. | ||
| Show us the reality of what happens when you gotta go. | ||
| That's the reality that people are denied seeing a lot of the times because it's glorified. | ||
| I think about that when I watch TV a lot. | ||
| All the characters on TV, like Matt Damon, like when does his character poop? | ||
| How come we don't see that on the movie? | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| Every day in the movie he's doing it probably, almost. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you want to see that on the movie? | |
| I want realism! | ||
| Give it to me. | ||
| No, no, I'm not. | ||
| You're watching Born Ultimatum and then he's like, give me a second, I gotta take a dump. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's just like, watch him go in. | ||
| The bash is terrible. | ||
| Goes in the stall and he sits down. | ||
| And then he gets up and he's washing his hands and he just shows all of it. | ||
| Yeah, brushing his teeth. | ||
| That's the movie that Ian wants. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You never get thirsty. | ||
| Okay, so hold on there. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| We were talking about the federal government's ability to reduce waste. | ||
| And then we're talking about these islands and potentially breaking away. | ||
| I'm thinking about cannibalism. | ||
| Did we segue far? | ||
| We did. | ||
| I've been thinking a lot about cannibalism as we've been talking about this. | ||
| Like, what are they gonna do in the city? | ||
| Eat rats? | ||
| And then what? | ||
| Eat each other? | ||
| And then, like, these zombie hordes in, like, The Walking Dead. | ||
| What they don't show is the hordes eating each other, because they're zombies in the show, but they're actually, if they're starving humans, they're just gonna start eating each other. | ||
| Then you're gonna get an Instagram video of someone, like, picking a human cor- like, eating a human- Yeah! | ||
| And that's when, you know, really, that's gonna be the iconic- But- Yes, but what- if these soy boys start eating that much meat, wouldn't that boost their testosterone? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| And then all of a sudden, they'd be like, they'd turn into, you know, much more aggressive. | ||
| Pre-onic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But if they're vegetarian to begin with, can they just start eating meat? | |
| They get the shakes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think if you eat meat, something bad happens, right? | |
| That's right, that's right. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, it'll mess you up. | ||
| It'll mess you up for a while. | ||
| You guys ever see the Book of Eli? | ||
| Yeah, that movie's great. | ||
| But they do this thing where they'll be like, show me your hands, and you have to hold your hands up, and the people who are cannibals, they shake. | ||
| From, uh, prion disease, is that right? | ||
| Yeah, prions. | ||
| It's like a protein fold, I think, in the brain. | ||
| And so you get the shakes from cannibalism. | ||
| And so if you can't hold your hands straight, then they're like, ah, you know, get them, and then I think he actually goes to a place where there's a bunch of cannibals. | ||
| It's a post-apocalyptic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So the road, uh, Corbett McCarthy's, uh, he made a book, uh, same guy that wrote, | ||
| uh, no country for old men and all that McCarthy. | ||
| And then he made a movie with, uh, Viggo Mortensen, but it's like | ||
| post nuclear apocalypse, everyone's starving, nearly everyone dies. | ||
| And it's like this one guy is trying to get his son, try to get South. | ||
| And they don't really know exactly where, and there's like roving hordes of, you | ||
| know, like warlords and like cannibals. | ||
| And it's like, it's horribly terrifying. | ||
| It's what it was like, it's really sad. | ||
| It's depressing. | ||
| I read the book on the deployment. | ||
| And I was like, I just ruined this part. | ||
| I was like having a crappy time. | ||
| Anyways, I'm saying, Oh, maybe I'll put a book. | ||
| Oh, no, this is awful. | ||
| I've been jokingly saying that we are in, we are in a brave new | ||
| Fahrenheit, 1984 for Vendetta. | ||
| Bye. | ||
| And so I'm thinking about it. | ||
| It feels like all of these dystopian novels are competing and like I wonder you know Luke you have that shirt Yeah, I have a shirt about that. | ||
| It says you are here, and it's like the Venn diagram of all of them I have three of them, and then I have another shirt that has nine books and movies all together Just to make you know the point hit harder, but yeah, I mean you guys you got to watch Fever Vendetta Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've said it before, but... Do you post a clip about, like, the... That's right! | |
| I was like, whoa, this is close. | ||
| Dude! | ||
| So, uh, there's that... So we're talking about the Southwest pilots. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm watching local news, and they're like, you know, the airlines, you know, Southwest Airlines cancels 2,000 flights. | ||
| They say it was due to air traffic control and weather issues. | ||
| And then I look over at my friends, and I'm like, do you guys believe this bollocks? | ||
| Which is like, I'm directly, you know, quoting the line from Viva Veneta. | ||
| And then I'm like, I thought about it, I pulled the clip, Where Chancellor Sutler is like, I want them to remember why they need us! | ||
| And then, like, it shows the news clips, and the first clip, it says, Civil War in the former United States is destroying parts of the Midwest. | ||
| And I'm just like, oh man. | ||
| And then, like, a new pathogen is spreading, and I'm like, dude, this is all happening. | ||
| But, you know, outbreak in the quarantine zone. | ||
| Right, yup. | ||
| That's, yeah, you cut a little too close to home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And that was, what, 2007-ish? | ||
| When would that movie come out? | ||
| Oh man, yeah, maybe. | ||
| It's a graphic novel, originally. | ||
| What the graphic novel was like was more than just the one story, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| The funny thing is, the V character, Guy Fawkes was a theocrat who wanted to blow up Parliament. | ||
| He wasn't some champion of liberty or anything. | ||
| He just wanted his own form of government. | ||
| But I digress. | ||
| I mean, a movie about a bunch of elites Who manufacture a fake virus, then buy stock in the company that produces the cure, use the virus to scare people into gaining political control, and then are pumping out mass propaganda. | ||
| I'm just like, ah jeez, that's like, that's like all the conspiracy theorists are probably like pointing at that. | ||
| Have you guys seen Utopia? | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| No. Yeah. So this is we've talked about this a lot, but this is the show on Amazon that canceled | ||
| because it's about a tech billionaire who's scared of overpopulation. | ||
| He tries making fake meat. | ||
| It's not working. So he stages a pandemic so that everyone will get a vaccine that sterilizes them. | ||
| The show was canceled. | ||
| People were like, hey. | ||
| Cut a little too close. | ||
| But like, you know, the weird thing is like, do people really believe that there's a powerful global elite tech mogul who's trying to sterilize everybody? | ||
| I think there's a lot of people who do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But why cancel a show over it? | ||
| Do you really care about these fringe conspiracy theorists? | ||
| It would still scare enough people, I think. | ||
| And it would also, like, discourage folks. | ||
| I mean, whether it's true or not, you know, I don't necessarily think it's necessarily, like, you know, some cabal, like a bunch of, you know, fat cat billionaires, you know, sitting in a big room like this, smoking cigars, trying to figure out what to do. | ||
| But I think it's, like, very just decentralized. | ||
| Well, what if that's exactly what it was? | ||
| With, like, Bill Gates and, like, Jeff Bezos, and they're, like, smoking the cigars? | ||
| The biggest conspiracy theory out there is that there's not a conspiracy. | ||
| And the second one is that the government has never committed a conspiracy against you. | ||
| I forgot the exact quote, but... | ||
| I think there's a lot of room to believe that powerful people do come together and, you know, manipulate situations for the better. | ||
| Also, it's kind of brilliant that John Cusack is a part of that movie when he's blocking people left and right. | ||
| He blocked me, too, a long time ago. | ||
| Powerful people come together all the time to gain power and make money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's called running business. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But when they get caught doing something, but when they're accused of wrongdoing, | ||
| now it's a conspiracy theory. | ||
| Look, do people in government have meetings and discuss public policy? | ||
| Yes, they do. | ||
| They do it all the time. | ||
| But do, okay, so what if the policy is a bad policy that would hurt people? | ||
| Oh, that's just a conspiracy theory. | ||
| I'm not advocating for any particular conspiracy theories. | ||
| I think we need hard evidence. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| And I think people need to realize that, you know, when it comes to, like, the Bill Gates conspiracy theories, you don't need to look for any deeper meaning. | ||
| He's literally saying it. | ||
| He literally says, we've got too many people, people need to have less kids, you need to stop eating meat. | ||
| He talks about what he wants to happen, and they write articles for it. | ||
| You know, the mainstream media runs articles all the time saying, stop having kids. | ||
| Big Meat is awesome. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| It's like they're doing his advertising and his PR. | ||
| And what I meant to say is that one of the biggest conspiracies is that the government has your best interest at heart. | ||
| That, to me, is an important slogan that a lot of people should remember. | ||
| But, you know, if we see how easily it is to buy off politicians, buy off scientists, if we see how multinational corporations are able to do whatever they want, it should send a chilling effect, especially when you understand history and how it's been welded and used Uh, throughout the last few years, when we have, you know, there's, uh, you know, one of the important, most important aspects of like fascism, for instance. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it comes in like national socialism. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But the whole fascism thing is where you have major, major corporations, right. | ||
| Who cooperate for the government for their mutually, you almost always at the detriment of the people. | ||
| Now, instead we rebranded that and those are called public private partnerships. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like that's what I mean. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| They're just, you know, they're putting a bow on it and you see a lot of that right now. | ||
| And that's when we hear about corporatism going to, you know, crony corporations and all that stuff. | ||
| Like that's the stuff that's getting really scary and ugly. | ||
| And then one of the things you point out was the Russell, uh, what's that one? | ||
| Uh, how basically outside of the fan companies, the big tech companies, it's like the economy, if you take away all the big super tech companies, right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, yeah, they're down 10%. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| The rest of the economy is down 10%. | ||
| But big tech's doing good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so because those, those few companies are just so massive. | ||
| So they're just kind of like pulling everybody else up. | ||
| But like, whereas like the rest of the economy is actually not doing so hot. | ||
| Maybe we just need to start referring to the Democrats and the, and the establishment Republicans as the corpos. | ||
| Just like they're the corporate, they don't care. | ||
| It's because look, you know, Luke talks about government, not having your best interest at heart, but what if, I think if you're actually going to talk to somebody who is not super politically initiated, they don't understand everything that Luke would be saying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So their vision of government. | ||
| Is more like this, you know, young, naive view of, we all come together as people and then work for each other and help each other. | ||
| And it's like, in a certain point, some people realize it's a path for power and then they start exploiting the system. | ||
| So if you want to talk about the public good, I'm completely for you. | ||
| You know, if you say, Hey, we're all going to band together and start a fire department, volunteer fire department. | ||
| I'm like, that's fantastic. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| You want to talk about the government, we're usually referring to like corporate, you know, style, like, uh, well-funded establishment, corrupt individuals. | ||
| And then you get the democratic establishment and the Republican establishment. | ||
| And I think the only reason the Republican establishment is doing nothing is because they know if they go up against the Trump populist types, they lose whatever power they have. | ||
| And so long as they feign actually resisting, they can obstruct. | ||
| Meanwhile, the Democrat corporate, you know, corrupt, whatever, they're just literally trying to burn the whole thing down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Doesn't John Zemiric say that? | |
| They're like the Washington Generals versus the Harlem Globetroppers? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| And there was one good friend of mine who, he's still active duty, but he used to work as a legislative fellow, so he worked for a staffer, and he worked in the Senate. | ||
| And one of the things he said really quickly, you'll notice he pointed out to me, he said it kind of as a joke, and I was like, well, maybe not really. | ||
| He's like, I can tell there's like a cabal. | ||
| Between how or between Senate Republicans and House Democrats right like they're kind of you know that what they're doing and what's interesting even within Congress itself is how and he's not the only guy that told me about this is how a lot of the division isn't necessarily along party lines like Republican Democrat a lot of it so much House and Senate. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm testing our new studio. | ||
| We have a coffee maker and some new walking lines. | ||
| So I've been bumping in front of you guys. | ||
| But I think coffee's a little loud to do during the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think I'm going to do that. | |
| I don't actually think you can hear it on the mics. | ||
| It's just like a white noise, maybe. | ||
| Why are you drinking coffee at close to 9 p.m.? | ||
| Because I'm in a state of psychosis because the media is making me not understand what's real and what's fake. | ||
| I think we're all experiencing a state of psychosis right now. | ||
| I don't think we are. | ||
| Well, I was looking up the definition of psychosis, and it's like when you don't know the difference between reality and fake. | ||
| We're just talking about conspiracies. | ||
| I don't know what's real and what's not. | ||
| Well, but there's a difference. | ||
| Like, if you're someone who thinks that the birds are talking to you and you can't tell if you're imagining it or not, that's psychosis. | ||
| Yeah, that's a danger. | ||
| If you're saying, like, I don't know whether or not this corporation has my best interests at heart... Actually, I'm sorry, they typically don't. | ||
| But yeah, if you can't tell the difference between, like, Rachel Maddow in news, You know, maybe there's some psychosis there, I guess. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I'm kidding, by the way. | ||
| Like, if people are being kept ignorant, it doesn't mean they're crazy. | ||
| It just means they're being manipulated. | ||
| And so many people, like, you know, you know, guys in this room, like, especially you guys, it's like, following the news is your job, right? | ||
| It's a huge part of your job. | ||
| And a lot of folks are really into it. | ||
| It's kind of like their passive high. | ||
| But, you know, one of the things that, and people were in the know, like, you guys are like super well known. | ||
| But for, there's so many folks out there where it's like, they might catch a little bit of the news, right? | ||
| They might catch this, but it's like, they got, You know, uh, wives and husbands, kids, mortgages, jobs. | ||
| And it's like, I don't have time for this. | ||
| Like a lot of folks don't realize, like, it's just, it's not a huge part of their like day. | ||
| And when I talk to folks afterwards, like, oh yeah, I got a couple of friends, media did this, this, this, you know, they don't know what we're talking about half the time. | ||
| They really don't. | ||
| I mean, and you know, maybe they're, and they're going to like vote if they vote, they're going to vote just, oh, I grew up a Republican or I grew up a Democrat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no, no, no, no. | |
| And then it backfires. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They don't know who they're voting for. | ||
| I think one of the things that's really good, and one of the best benefits, and I still think why social media is like a net positive for society as a whole, and Malice has said this so many times, I think it's so true, is like, it allows the average person to call, you know, our elites out on their BS. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Like, immediately. | ||
| And it was a great example. | ||
| It was like, just this whole thing happened with us. | ||
| Like, it turns out, like, some normal guys end up kind of breaking the story, and we've got reporters calling us, And also when they start putting out press releases like, oh no, the FAA said it's fine, nothing happened. | ||
| Or South Dakota's like, no, no, no. | ||
| And if we didn't have social media, we wouldn't have that. | ||
| Like, nobody would know. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Nobody would tell. | ||
| And like, that's really, really good. | ||
| Despite all the other problems with social media, which are massive flaws, which are there. | ||
| So that's a huge thing, man. | ||
| Just believing these talking heads. | ||
| I think that's one thing Viva Veneta didn't have. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Social media. | ||
| So people were just watching the news, like, is this true? | ||
| Nowadays, people just go on Facebook and Twitter and Rumble, Gab, whatever, YouTube, they'll post and people can see alternatives. | ||
| The establishment's trying to do everything in its power to make that not. | ||
| Yeah, that Hunter Biden laptop thing got, that New York Post story got basically muted by Twitter. | ||
| I've just looked up the definition of psychosis, an abnormal condition of the mind that results in difficulties determining what is real and what is not real. | ||
| I think society is experiencing psychosis because of the amount of media that's coming from all these different angles where they'll say, it's dangerous. | ||
| No, it's not dangerous. | ||
| It's good for you. | ||
| It's bad for you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And their perception of reality is also being manipulated by the social media algorithms. | ||
| And a lot of the perceptions that we see online are not the true perceptions of our reality as well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the voices that are talking may not be the most important voices either, or the most, you know, they're conveying what the masses feel. | |
| I mean, to Tom's point, who has time, you know, as an average hard-working American to try to find source documents? | ||
| Wait, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| People work? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So for those who do, for those who do, I mean, and it just takes so much time to do that. | |
| So who are you going to believe? | ||
| And I think that's why, you know, people do latch onto conspiracy theories because they don't trust mainstream media. | ||
| So who do they trust? | ||
| And that's in platforms like this. | ||
| Maybe that's why cult worship is so popular right now. | ||
| Why people get so latched on to an individual, like, where they'll believe whatever that... I like that guy, so no matter what he says, I'm gonna follow him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fauci! | |
| It's the hope principle. | ||
| They want some kind of hope. | ||
| They want to latch on to somebody that they believe is telling them the truth. | ||
| And, I mean, because a lot of times I'm in the same boat. | ||
| I don't necessarily know what to believe, but there are times like this where we're talking to people who are actually flight attendants and pilots and air traffic controllers. | ||
| They're telling us one thing, we're seeing what's coming out in the media, and we're like, that does not connect. | ||
| I was doing a lot of work on the border, as an example, with Border Special Operations Group. | ||
| The same people who were there when AOC went down there to visit, you know, on the border, talking to the sector chiefs. | ||
| I saw the same videos they showed the members of Congress, and it was night and day different. | ||
| And that's where I can say, I know that they're not telling the truth in this case. | ||
| I got this tweet from Matthew Iglesias. | ||
| He's one of the founders of Vox. | ||
| He said, a lot of debates on here are people who are to the left of 98% of the public deciding that people who are to the left of 75% of the public are huge right-wingers and it gets tiresome. | ||
| He said, this is an interesting poll from last summer. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| Voters are less likely to view Biden as moderate than they were earlier this year. | ||
| The ideal candidate On a scale, they say 1 being very liberal, 7 being very conservative, and 4 being right in the middle, the ideal candidate is slightly to the right. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| 4.2 on the scale, leaning conservative, and they say Trump is rated as a 5.7, and Biden is a 2.8. | ||
| Now for a lot of people, they'll look at Biden, 2.8 is closer to them, and if this is the case, they'll probably point that direction. | ||
| However, I think if you're paying attention to the news, you'd realize that Donald Trump is actually substantially closer to moderate, and they view him far right when he's not. | ||
| He's 1994 Bill Clinton. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| On paper. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know, it's amazing. | ||
| Like, if you watch, like, State of the Union and stuff like that, and you see, like, some of the speeches, you're like, uh, he sounds a lot like, uh, Bill Clinton sounds a lot like Trump. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| right there, you know, on like immigration, crime, like all this stuff is amazing. | ||
| I was like, it was actually really quite stunning. | ||
| He's a New York liberal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the craziest thing to me. | ||
| And he ran as a conservative. | ||
| And I think that that is part of what broke the Democratic party. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All of a sudden they had no identity. | ||
| But if the Republicans support helping the middle-class and you know, gay marriage, what are the Democrats in? | ||
| Yeah, they had Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard and like they just ignored them. | ||
| It was so crazy. | ||
| I think it was just because business interests had control of the organization with Hillary Clinton's, you know, email scandal being if nothing else that the shining, you know, red light warning sign that something wrong was was going on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that was so much as well, like that's one of the things the left like really latched on to was so much of this like, you know, fake, well it's not completely fake, but mostly fake issues of, you know, all the systemic this and the woke this, the social justice, like it just totally played up. | ||
| And because, and then when they saw them, they saw them in Occupy Wall Street, you know, that's where, Tim, that's where you, you know, earned your jobs, where you kind of really got started was, what was that? | ||
| 2011. | ||
| 10 years ago. | ||
| Yeah, it was 10 years ago, right? | ||
| And that's where you really kind of got started, right? | ||
| Where, like, how'd it get on the map? | ||
| Is that, I mean? | ||
| I started doing, uh, live streaming coverage. | ||
| One of the first people to actually do live streaming and commentary of these, these big newsworthy events. | ||
| And the mainstream media loved it. | ||
| Which was huge, man. | ||
| It was huge. | ||
| And it was, it was great. | ||
| And, but things like, but it was during that time where it's like, okay, we, you know, this economic stuff, right? | ||
| We're all jobless. | ||
| And, you know, at the same time, I think you had Peter Schiff up, you know, walk down there and he's like, Hey, I am the 1%. | ||
| And he's like, Hey, you're in the wrong city. | ||
| Y'all need to go to DC. | ||
| That was like, at least the argument he made. | ||
| I was there when that happened. | ||
| Ian was also down there. | ||
| No kidding. | ||
| That was a big transitional. | ||
| That's where I met Luke. | ||
| That's so cool. | ||
| How did you guys know each other that long? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's awesome. | |
| From Occupy. | ||
| Went there with Bill Ottman and then we went to the after, it was like the Brain Trust where there was like 50 people sitting in a circle. | ||
| I was there for those. | ||
| Okay, I didn't know you at that time, but you were there too. | ||
| That's so crazy. | ||
| And it was, they were like, Mayor Bloomberg's, we gotta take him out, we gotta get him, he's a bad guy. | ||
| And I'm like, I was like, you guys, you need to use him as an ally if you want to win this thing. | ||
| And they're like, No, he's a bad guy. | ||
| We got it. | ||
| And I'm like, oh, these zealots. | ||
| That was such an exciting time. | ||
| It was so weird. | ||
| I mean, you had so many random things. | ||
| I mean, there was events where people came down and gave free haircuts to people who needed haircuts for free. | ||
| There was celebrities coming down. | ||
| I remember Rosie O'Donnell came down and she found me. | ||
| She's like, hey, I I know you and so many other celebrities so many other politicians so many other people started the conversation there and you know you could say a lot of negative things about it as well but but I think this was a shock to a lot of the establishment saying whoa whoa whoa we have Obama as president and these people are not happy with the way that the financial systems run with all the corruption it has | ||
| Holy crap, we gotta invent social justice warriors. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Holy cow, we need some wokeness for these people so they fight each other instead of understanding how everyone else is screwing them over. | ||
| And you guys are obviously, you and everyone else down there, it's like, that's kind of where you guys, you know, got started in a lot of ways, right? | ||
| I mean, you were like, kind of put yourself on the map, which is huge, which also, by the way, very successful. | ||
| Well, Luke had a pretty big channel back then. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No, yeah, you did. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| But it was like, and now it's like, well, you guys don't like that's awesome. | ||
| And now it, but the thing is like the other side, the enemy class, they saw that and they responded. | ||
| And quite frankly, they responded, I think very effectively for them from their perspective. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And, and I think they've been largely successful thus far. | ||
| However, I think there's enough people out there that are starting to catch on, you know, a lot of folks were just like, wait, wait, wait, wait, maybe they're full of it. | ||
| Their psyop could only work for so long until people realize at the end of the day that they're getting the wrong end of the stick. | ||
| And they're getting screwed over even more than they did before in 2011. | ||
| But again, the divide and conquer agenda, the wokeness, I think that has been deliberately upplayed in order to get rid of this populist energy of being robbed. | ||
| I noticed one thing while we were down there at Occupy was Bank of America across the street, they were like, all of a sudden one day they just started doing street construction right next to Zuccotti Park. | ||
| It's loud all night, it would be just massive construction, so it made me realize the vulnerability and centralization of a movement. | ||
| You do want to hold land to protest, but if you're going to centralize it, I don't think that's effective against the empire right now. | ||
| The decentralized currency seems like... I'm surprised the U.S. | ||
| hasn't adopted decentralized currency yet. | ||
| If they want to arm up on China. | ||
| Let's go, Brandon. | ||
| That's a lot of comments. | ||
| Let's go, Brandon. | ||
| Let's go, Brandon. | ||
| Man, man. | ||
| How about we go to Super Chats, everybody? | ||
| If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, and go to TimCast.com, become a member, because we're going to have a members-only segment coming up around 11 or so PM, as we always do. | ||
| And that just means we get this massive library of content. | ||
| You can go back and watch all of these bonus segments with all these other people you know and love. | ||
| And we're also going to be starting the new members-only show with the Tales from the Inverted World crew. | ||
| But Shane is actually flying to Georgia to track down lost Confederate gold for a long series of a bunch of crazy stories. | ||
| It's going to be a whole lot of fun. | ||
| So we'll try and work that out and start getting those shows produced. | ||
| But again, TimCast.com, smash the like button. | ||
| Let's read some of these super chats we got. | ||
| Your mom says, just got my concealed carry today. | ||
| Also, when is the Cast Castle getting a pet raccoon? | ||
| I don't know, but Luke and I once went to a raccoon cafe. | ||
| Yes, we did in South Korea. | ||
| We made a video about it. | ||
| With actual raccoons? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In North Korea, they have different cafes with different animals that you can interact with when you go buy tea. | ||
| Were they cool? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They were pretty interesting creatures. | ||
| I always liked them. | ||
| My parents were like, don't touch them. | ||
| We did a live stream at a dog cafe. | ||
| That was really fun. | ||
| And there was like 50 dogs in a space like this. | ||
| Jumping on tables. | ||
| It was fun. | ||
| You could buy dog treats and raccoon treats. | ||
| Let me read this one. | ||
| Woot do for you says, all my local grocery stores here in Georgia have rotten produce on the shelves. | ||
| Buckle up folks. | ||
| Hope you fellow beanie folk paid attention. | ||
| Yeah, man, you know, we, we, we were, uh, so there's, so, uh, I'm going to say this, not, not a promo, but I got to tell the context. | ||
| So safeandreadymeals.com is one of the things that we, we, we sometimes promote. | ||
| I did a promo for them earlier today because I'm like, now more than ever, I genuinely think it's a good idea to have this stuff as emergency food. | ||
| Augustin Farms, which is another big provider, on their website says they're no longer taking orders. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| And there's a letter circulating where some of their vendors got cut off completely. | ||
| They were like, we can't get the materials we need. | ||
| And so I actually called them to ask them and they said, that is just for some business clientele, like vendors or something. | ||
| That have been no longer, that they're cutting off service to for three months. | ||
| And on their website it says, you cannot place orders. | ||
| But they're like, you can go on other websites if you want to find it. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, like third parties? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, you know, I talk about this emergency food stuff and people laugh. | ||
| Now, now you're lucky if you can get it. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| The prices are going up. | ||
| Beans, is that the best? | ||
| The ultimate? | ||
| Beans and rice. | ||
| Rice. | ||
| Yeah, rice and beans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Interesting. | ||
| Check this out, BN says, friend's mom works for Southwest Corporate. | ||
| I asked her if she knows what's going on. | ||
| Her response verbatim, pilots are calling in sick since they can't legally strike because | ||
| they are fighting the federal mandate. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Josh says, new stream quality is legit. | ||
| Can't wait to see more art in the studio. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yeah, so that's one of the things we do. | ||
| We do have a bunch of art. | ||
| We brought on some of the art. | ||
| I'm really surprised we were able to get the studio up and running by today. | ||
| So I came in here like at four, like three o'clock or four, and I'm just like, I don't think we'll be ready by today. | ||
| And then we made it, we made it happen. | ||
| Actually, maybe we didn't make it happen. | ||
| Maybe we're literally just doing it, we're not ready. | ||
| I heard there's some feedback that it's too bright, which I could be down with dimming the lights maybe 20%, trying that tomorrow. | ||
| I think it's our center lights. | ||
| And then that there was a little bit of echo, so maybe we can put like, sound dance. | ||
| Yeah, people are saying I look like Casper the Ghost on the stream. | ||
| I got a Twitter comment saying the visual quality is much, much better. | ||
| Yeah, we increased. | ||
| Yeah, it's good. | ||
| And it's noticed. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| Here's the thing, though. | ||
| Previously, we were streaming at about 2 kilobits per second. | ||
| I'm sorry, 2 megabits per second. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jeez, 2 megabits per second. | |
| Which, uh, you know, limits quality. | ||
| Now we're at 10. | ||
| But that means, you know, we have backups. | ||
| If we have to hit one of our connection backups, satellite or other land, the quality will drop along with it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Uh, hey, Tim, if I may, uh, may I read a super chat from my fiance? | ||
| Oh, absolutely. | ||
| Natalie writes, Bosco keeps getting confused when he hears his dad on TV. | ||
| That's our, uh, our golden retriever. | ||
| So Bosco, follow at Bosco Sauer is a handsome little, uh, golden retriever about a year old anyways, but he can hear me on TV. | ||
| So, hey Bosco! | ||
| Good job, Bosco! | ||
| Cajun Red says, you've got some feedback and squealing on the audio. | ||
| Oh man, we tried switching out our mixer board, trying to figure out what was going on, because we're using an analog connection in the computer, we're getting interference. | ||
| And so we tried using a USB workaround, didn't work. | ||
| So we just tried doing a thicker, better cable, and then eventually we put a filter on it. | ||
| So if you're hearing squealing, like, It was worse before. | ||
| We were talking about maybe using the other studio up until about 7.15 and then we're like, let's, we're committed. | ||
| Well, because, because if we don't do it, then we don't solve it. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So on our, on our monitors, everything sounds perfect, but the output, something's happening too. | ||
| So we didn't learn this until we started trying to do it. | ||
| Now we're going to have the audio recording. | ||
| We're going to go in, we're going to try and isolate what it is. | ||
| And then by tomorrow it should be worked out. | ||
| But if you're, if you're too scared to move forward because you don't know what the problems you're going to have are, then you're never going to move forward. | ||
| So that's why I got that coffee midstream. | ||
| But also, a lot of people are mentioning that they don't hear it. | ||
| That, I guess, when we're talking, you can't really hear it when there's quiet periods. | ||
| It, you know, comes through, I guess. | ||
| We're never quiet, so... Nicholas Kosmic says, if Luke is a vagrant t-shirt vendor, he would fit right in around Seattle. | ||
| Hey, mention us once in a while. | ||
| I live rurally in Washington, and our state is blue flu. | ||
| Interesting, really. | ||
| Woah Man says, y'all look amazing for your information. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Very good, thank you. | |
| All right. | ||
| Delhiopolis says, Robo Biden 2024, dead or alive, you're coming with me. | ||
| To the thing, like, anyway, uh, that you, you like to be able, uh, whatever. | ||
| Man, that, that whatever from Biden was like the most, like the worst. | ||
| When was this? | ||
| Whatever? | ||
| Yeah, remember when he was talking and he was like, you know, we gotta, you know, work together. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| I saw a Twitter video of him from like the late 90s and him today. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Oh, he was sharp back in the day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He was like anti-authoritarian kind of. | |
| I mean, at least he's talked about like the freedom of the individual. | ||
| I think he was all about whatever kept him in office. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Yeah, I think that's what he was talking about. | ||
| Jump trash. | ||
| It worked. | ||
| Yeah, obviously. | ||
| I mean, it's amazing. | ||
| But yeah, it is actually just really scary to see that, and you're like, oh man. | ||
| And it's also getting to the point where it's like, how can anybody deny this? | ||
| Even his own folks, you know? | ||
| It's just, come on, guys. | ||
| It's bad. | ||
| It's really bad. | ||
| That's why I still think Trump's got a shot. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| I mean, like it or not, I think that's what, I think something really might happen there. | ||
| This is interesting. | ||
| Steven Faber says the reason why they said weather is because federal law says if the flights are delayed for any other reason, the airline must get hotels. | ||
| We talked about that. | ||
| Yeah, because I've been delayed. | ||
| Lots of them have been delayed for weather. | ||
| Happened. | ||
| They're like, sorry. | ||
| Act of God. | ||
| You know, force majeure. | ||
| Like, sorry, guys. | ||
| But if it's them, they got to put you up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And they'll wait for any little excuse. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| But can then there's a class action suit in waiting now because they lied about the weather? | ||
| Can that be confirmed? | ||
| I think it's pretty tough to do. | ||
| I mean, I suppose it's possible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But I mean, I think that might be a tough one. | ||
| I mean, they've already got some lawsuits coming they could deal with anyways, but why not pile on? | ||
| You'd think it would be tough to lie about the weather, too, but apparently not. | ||
| The union is suing them now about the Vax mandates. | ||
| All right, we got one from Tak Fujii. | ||
| Luke, I've been following you and We Are Change for like 15-ish years and you've never responded to a comment of mine. | ||
| I don't think they were such weak sauce, they never deserved a reply, lol. | ||
| No, Luke, we puke. | ||
| I try to read as many comments as I can, and I appreciate the comments. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| I remember the other day, Luke was talking about Takfuji, and he was like, the Takfuji guy. | ||
| I get so mad when I see him. | ||
| I'm never responding to that comment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| All right. | ||
| He forced my hand. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Poxa says, Newport News Shipyard has 11,000 workers and management fighting the jab. | ||
| We have three commissioned aircraft carriers and three subs at NNS right now. | ||
| Real bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow, man. | |
| Crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, those are national assets. | ||
| You think about that, right? | ||
| Like an aircraft, like a commissioned aircraft carrier or nuclear submarine. | ||
| And it's like, they can't, and they need to work on them. | ||
| Like those things are, you know, it's not like a, you know, Honda Civic where you just like, leave it alone, just pop in those things. | ||
| Those are incredibly labor intensive. | ||
| It takes a lot, a lot, a lot of skilled labor. | ||
| And it's like NNS at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, right? | ||
| Like it's not, I mean, guys, that's a, that's a big deal. | ||
| That's a big deal. | ||
| So it's scary. | ||
| Our, our military readiness is not nearly as good as we might advertise, by the way. | ||
| In general. | ||
| Unreasonably angry says, hi guys. | ||
| I ordered my first AR and it's coming in on Friday. | ||
| Luke, would you have recommendations for iron sights? | ||
| Also, let's go Brandon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Well, red dots are usually a lot more better, but it's good to practice, have a lot of fun and, uh, just, just, you know, look up how to use it to get training and, uh, have fun with it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Let's see what we got here. | ||
| Reverend C says Eric July has a new project launching in comics. | ||
| He's going to create culture for future generations. | ||
| When he makes his announcement for his comic, you could bring him on and talk comics and politics. | ||
| Love the new set, guys. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be awesome. | ||
| A lot of people sending us love, saying new studio looks awesome. | ||
| Joseph Asturo says, Tim, invest in a lint roller for your beanie for the camera. | ||
| Timcast IRL is the freshest breath of air I get all day. | ||
| Thanks for all you guys do. | ||
| You're welcome. | ||
| I will get a lint roller. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you for the advice. | |
| I love you for that comment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have one, yeah. | |
| It's a fresh breath comment. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| GG Player says, Tim, I don't really like the new studio, unlike the last one. | ||
| It doesn't distinguish you as the host of the podcast. | ||
| Actually, it looks like Luke is the blank. | ||
| Blank? | ||
| Blank? | ||
| The blank? | ||
| I don't know, Luke. | ||
| The leader. | ||
| That's because he has that wide shot. | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| Yeah, Luke wants to be zoomed out. | ||
| It's only a matter of time. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Rudecast. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Rudecast IRL. | |
| Alright, let's see. | ||
| Now we know. | ||
| Let's grab some good, uh, super chats. | ||
| James Nelson says the angles of the cameras is a bit jarring. | ||
| Looking down on everyone. | ||
| Tim no longer seems to be looking into the camera. | ||
| Uh, can do sometimes. | ||
| Just like that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, but there were periods during when, like, you know, I'll look more in the camera, but, you know, we're getting in there. | ||
| Uh, Ghost Crusader says, Hey Tim, think about having a chat on your site for members to chat. | ||
| Absolutely good idea. | ||
| We've been, we've been talking about implementing that, but we're trying to do a mobile at first. | ||
| Um, and then I think we're gonna have a site-wide chat. | ||
| So people on the chat are in it. | ||
| There's gonna be an active chat room. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| Aiden Moss says, Hey Tim, it's my dad's birthday. | ||
| He is turning 27, is a huge fan. | ||
| Keep up the awesome content. | ||
| Happy birthday, dad. | ||
| Happy birthday. | ||
|

|
Nice! | |
| Quincy Burks says, I'm getting fired from my job. | ||
| Great benefits and a six-figure salary all over mandates. | ||
| I joined the Army National Guard at 17, and I've been serving my country in some capacity for 24 years, and now I'm being betrayed by it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Geez. | |
| Nice, man. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| All right, we got Christopher Bell. | ||
| He says, New York Union operating engineer who lives on Long Island. | ||
| I quit and will go back if and when the mandate is gone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Very good. | ||
| Mike, Mr. Hunt, first name Mike, says, TimCastGang, if you have Snapchat, look at the snap map in Taipei, Taiwan. | ||
| You can see military vehicles and equipment massing on the streets. | ||
| Do you think this could go nuclear? | ||
| I signed up with Fortitude Ranch, thanks to you. | ||
| Very cool. | ||
| They're a recreation and survivalist community. | ||
| So you can go out there and they've got a shooting range and there's a dog and roosters. | ||
| It's a whole lot of fun. | ||
| But what do you guys think? | ||
| Nuclear over Taiwan? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I think it could, but... | ||
| There was a time where we would have. | ||
| Like I said, that was the first time we ever actually threatened to nuke anybody in those Eisenhower. | ||
| But these days, I don't think so. | ||
| Well, at least at that time in the 50s, China wasn't nuclear capable. | ||
| But right now, it's like, no, they can hurt us a lot too. | ||
| I think any sort of a nuclear exchange... And actually, frankly, Colin was on a nuclear ballistic missile submarine. | ||
| That's what he did for a living, like an apocalypse. | ||
| you know, submarine warhead with 24 missile tubes. I think like if it was its own country, | ||
| would have been the fifth most powerful country in the world. An Ohio class submarine. The thing | ||
| carries what 20, 24 missiles, eight warheads per missile, you know, and I do. Well, they'll have | ||
|
unidentified
|
to look it up online. I'm not sure what's Yeah, there we go. | |
| That's a good answer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. I'll say that. But whereas you were counter nuke, I guess that makes me pro nuke. | |
| I guess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I would imagine there's just nuclear submarines all over the West coast of us that are Chinese waiting. | ||
| And then a bunch of American ones on the East coast of China. | ||
| The way that works, like in general terms, like the, and since you can't talk about Colin, so this is what I read online, right? | ||
| Where it was where, where, you know, for the fleet, you got your attack submarines and they operate with the fleet, right? | ||
| They're there to protect that and to do all their missions. | ||
| But then you have the ballistic missile submarines where like They don't operate with anybody. | ||
| They're alone. | ||
| There's a platform. | ||
| They're supposed to go out alone. | ||
| They punch a hole, go out for late night, and they just cruise and stay hidden. | ||
| They stay quiet, and they're just there to wait for the call that nobody wants. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So we always have submarines, both oceans, and we don't even know exactly where they are. | |
| We don't know where our own submarines are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Large swaths of the ocean will be operating. | |
| But the whole idea there is strategic deterrence. | ||
| So if another country chose to take out our entire nation, there's nothing left, we would still be able to strike back. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| That's the whole purpose behind it, that whole nuclear triad and second strike capability. | ||
| They call it a second strike and everyone has that. | ||
| That's why it exists. | ||
| And so like right now you'll say it's like, oh yeah, there's a USS, you know, Alabama or whatever. | ||
| It's operating, you know, I'm just making this up, like in the Northern Pacific Ocean. | ||
| And like, that's literally like the only people that know exactly where they are are the people on the boat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think as far as military technology, there's weapons that are stronger and bigger than nuclear weapons that we don't even know about yet. | ||
| Like a sonic weapon? | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| Yeah, but I think they realized a long time ago just vaporizing something isn't necessarily the best thing. | ||
| Like Ian was saying, if you want to control it, you don't want to blow it up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's better ways. | ||
| If you blow it up, especially on the nuclear stuff, you're going to blow yourself up. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| We got Bruno Bronowski says, please be inclusive and stop saying mandate. | ||
| It's a vaccine mandate. | ||
| See what you did there. | ||
| Woman date. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Seth Adam Smith says, Big idea for the team at Timcast. | ||
| Start your own version of SNL. | ||
| Invite people like Ryan Long, JP Sears, and others to send in original sketches for a weekly comedy show. | ||
| It would be hilarious and it would smoke the competition. | ||
| That is correct and it would. | ||
| Dude, I was just talking to Andreas about that and Chris wants to do that too. | ||
| The first thing I thought was that would be so hot on YouTube. | ||
| That would be so hot. | ||
| Even if it was on the vlog channel, Thursdays at 6 is like a different show on that channel. | ||
| It could be live. | ||
| You could do a live show. | ||
| A live sketch comedy show. | ||
| We were talking about that last year. | ||
| Getting all the top alternative comedians and making one show with it. | ||
| That's a big budget. | ||
| Huge budget and huge investment and huge time. | ||
| Goofy skits that we do. | ||
| Can you kickstart something like that? | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| If it's a project, yeah. | ||
| You'd have to do a give, send, go, though. | ||
| But like, goofy skits around here, we have such good cameras and audio that we could pull off. | ||
| It would look pro. | ||
| It would look like a big budget thing. | ||
| Well, we've definitely had plans for doing comedy sketches. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For sure. | |
| We already do the animations on the Castcastle vlog, if you guys have seen it, where Kent animates these really silly things. | ||
| The best one is probably when Ian picked up the Alex Jones mushroom that was screaming. | ||
| And it was just Alex Jones screaming and saying weird things, and then Ian's all excited to find his mushroom. | ||
| So, uh, that was awesome. | ||
| But yeah, people love that stuff, and so we definitely... We got a bunch of crazy ideas for good sketches, we're gonna be doing, so... Alright, let's see what we got. | ||
| Sean Casey says, 41 minutes into this cast, and I see Luke has you all at sword point! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Link twice and link once if you need help. | |
| Why does Luke have a sword? | ||
| Why don't I have a sword is the real question. | ||
| It was sitting here when I got here. | ||
| I got it from a video game, from a game store at a mall. | ||
| It's a nice blade. | ||
| At least it looks nice. | ||
| Yeah, it says something like the seven demon souls or something. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Sacred promise or something like that. | ||
| And then we also have Link's master sword over there on the wall. | ||
| Well, leaning up against the wall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what that was. | |
| That's like one of three swords from the samurai set. | ||
| Is that right? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| It's like the short, there's a short one, the medium one, the long one. | ||
| No, that's too long. | ||
| That's like somebody made a sword and they were like, this is cool. | ||
| And you know, it's just, you know. | ||
| You get it at a store that sells anime dolls. | ||
| Alright, let's see. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Are they getting all the materials from mainland China? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Great question. | ||
| Don't demasculate my sword. | ||
| It's a beautiful weapon. | ||
| Wow. Are they getting all that's all the materials from mainland China? I don't know. Great question. | ||
| Don't demasculate my sword. It's a beautiful weapon. It's pretty sharp. All right, let's | ||
| see. | ||
| Reith Nelson says, any ideas for me to promote with no social media presence? | ||
| Anyone else I could hit up? | ||
| GiveSendGo.com, campaign stand alone. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I know that we're actually setting up a newsletter. | ||
| So we're going to have like a weekly newsletter of our stories, and you'll get like a list of like our, we do five shows a week, so we'll have a list of guests, and then we'll have the articles that we think are important. | ||
| One thing I say, like, at least as a, as a business owner, one thing that I get a ton of is, I mean, it's not social media, but it's email marketing. | ||
| And like a lot of times I spend half time, I wake up in the morning and I'm going through email. | ||
| It's like delete, delete, delete. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I don't need this. | ||
| Don't need it. | ||
| And then, but every once in a while, we actually got one where we're like, oh, this might actually | ||
| be helpful to us. | ||
| Reply. | ||
| Yeah, we'll have a meeting. | ||
| We'll do that. | ||
| That actually might work. | ||
| But like, I think email marketing, it's not social media. | ||
| Like, I think it can actually be pretty effective. | ||
| And the thing is, you got to buy those email addresses, right? | ||
| And that's where a lot of those come in. | ||
| When you sell your data, oh, just fill out the form in your email address. | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| Your email address and your data just got Right. | ||
| I think that's one. | ||
| I'd say there's the email marketing. | ||
| Dogwateractual says, I'm a charter pilot. | ||
| Most pilots are blue collar, freedom lovers who won't stand for unjust decree on the public and private sides of aviation. | ||
| My friends in Southwest have a lot to say. | ||
| Does cast team need a pilot on board? | ||
| Hit me up. | ||
| You know what we want to get? | ||
| I forgot what they're called, but they're like, it's like a hang glider, but then it's also got a fan on the back and you like sit in a basket and just like fly away. | ||
| Yeah, little paragliders, I think they're called. | ||
| They're called paragliders. | ||
| Yeah, that's what it is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not a bad one. | |
| It's one thing when you talk about Southwest especially, is we were talking about this, I think we talked about this downstairs with Andreas, is how it seems though, and this is like our anecdotal, unscientific, I don't think there's a survey on it, but I think it's a safe assumption where if you look at Southwest Airlines, started in Texas, right? | ||
| Where do they fly? | ||
| Where are all the hubs? | ||
| Red states. | ||
| They have a disproportionate number of prior military pilots compared to the other airlines. | ||
| I would wager That, and this is again, there's not data, but it's like, it makes sense that the vast majority of higher proportion of Southwest pilots lean right, or at least at the very much, very much are, you know, freedom loving and against this. | ||
| And that's why I think you see such a higher number of Southwest pilots, right? | ||
| Who are, you know, anti-vat, you know, not anti-jab, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| Mandate. | ||
| Anti-mandate, excuse me. | ||
| Yeah, that's actually, that is a more appropriate word. | ||
| And I think that's one of the reasons why you see that, and you see this pushing back, is because I think that Southwest pilots are much more right-leaning. | ||
| I think that's where you're seeing this right now. | ||
| I think it's a safe assumption. | ||
| Why do you think it's cheaper? | ||
| Well, that's the model. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd say another point we didn't bring up that's probably worth noting is the fact that there's real risk for pilots. | |
| So if there are adverse effects, even if the risk is small, there's a chance they might not be able to fly again. | ||
| These are guys who just take a physical every six months, and if there is any chance of something happening, they lose their career. | ||
| You get a blood clot or something like that, and it's like you're never flying ever again, even for fun. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's a real risk. | ||
| They don't want to do that, so that's why they're pushing back. | ||
| Destroyer Lord says, Tim, what are your thoughts on having doctors on your show? | ||
| I've been following Dr. John Bergman for several years, a chiropractor in Huntington Beach, California. | ||
| He is well informed and one of the best doctors, in my opinion. | ||
| My church has also been doing studies on COVID with Dr. Peter McCullough. | ||
| We've had doctors on the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have? | |
| Chris Martinson is one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's great. | ||
| Prosperity. | ||
| Very knowledgeable. | ||
| Very knowledgeable. | ||
| And I'm not familiar with those doctors, but... Stephen Colbert is a doctor. | ||
| He got his doctorate from a college. | ||
| They just gave it to him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Honorary. | |
| Double check that. | ||
| He's not that kind of doctor. | ||
| Oh no, he's not that kind of doctor. | ||
| Jill Biden. | ||
| Jill Biden doctor. | ||
| Social Exile-ity says cyber attack Toyota America. | ||
| My dad works at one of the Toyota plants and I just heard that they are being held for a 25 million dollar ransom or they will sell employee info. | ||
| It is being investigated. | ||
| They believe they're in Australia. | ||
| Have till end of week to pay. | ||
| I haven't, I haven't, have you guys heard anything about that? | ||
| I don't know if that's true. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| I mean, there's probably a lot more ransom attacks than we even know about, especially with the NSA toolkits being released to the general public somehow mysteriously. | ||
| So it wouldn't surprise me if that news is true, but a lot of it is being not reported because they don't want the Streisand effect on these particular attacks to go out there. | ||
| And they also don't want, especially if it's a big company, they don't want their shareholders to know that like that happened. | ||
| That's a huge one as well. | ||
| A lot of the companies are just paying off the ransoms a lot of the times. | ||
| We have a friend, a partner, we worked with her former company. | ||
| Yeah, they got hit by ransomware. | ||
| And I think it was just like, yeah, everything was locked up. | ||
| They couldn't do anything. | ||
| It was a healthcare company, you know, and I think it was like 150 grand. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's almost part of doing business now. | |
| There's ransom insurance and companies buy it as a cost of doing business. | ||
| They've got that. | ||
| Just like if you're operating in Mexico, you get kidnap insurance. | ||
| And actually the ransom insurance companies are the ones that negotiate with whoever committed | ||
| the attack. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| Busted Knuckle says, Tim, as a certified septic waste tech, I loved your poo segment. | ||
| If you want someone who does that, would metalwork livestock care, security, or moving a heavy box, would a resume be a good move? | ||
| Yes! | ||
| To jobs at timcast.com with the new Freedama stand that we're setting up. | ||
| That might be a job we need filled. | ||
| And we're also, I would like everyone to know that Chicken City is being built and it's nearing completion. | ||
| It should be done this week. | ||
| Over there. | ||
| Yeah, it's a big chicken run and they're building a sewer system. | ||
| So the dude who's building it has been reading up on chickens. | ||
| And so the chickens always, they like to sleep roosting on bars, elevated. | ||
| And so he's creating like a plastic slope that goes beneath it. | ||
| So when they all take their dumps, it falls into a pipe. | ||
| That when it rains, the water just washes over it and pushes it all out the back. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Draining it and cleaning it out. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Self-cleaning system. | ||
| And then we're doing a big gravity feeder so we can just pour the food into the bag, into a pipe that feeds. | ||
| Yeah, we used to have one of those. | ||
| Yeah, they work great. | ||
| It's the same team that built this studio. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| Great job, you guys. | ||
| Excellent work. | ||
| Fantastic, fantastic work. | ||
| Very versatile. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're building a new house right now and I think the primary driver for that is my wife wants chickens. | |
| Yes! | ||
| Good for her. | ||
| They're so dumb. | ||
| How many are you going to get? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know, but we've thought of names. | |
| Colonel Sanders. | ||
| Kung Pao. | ||
| We have one chicken named Margaret Hatcher. | ||
| I like that one. | ||
| We're having a problem. | ||
| Of the original cast of Chicken City, Katarina is being beaten by the other chickens. | ||
| Yeah, and we were warned that, you know, if it gets worse, we have to remove Katarina, otherwise she'll die. | ||
| You guys don't have any, like, cockfighting and stuff out here? | ||
| They used to have that back in the day way out here. | ||
| We have, I think, four babies. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, Roberto had babies, and four of them out of the, I think, what do we have? | ||
| Eight. | ||
| dudes Okay, maybe we could send on the chicken. What's her name? | ||
| That's getting Katerina getting busted up to Daniel Turner He'd mentioned maybe doing a chicken swap. Yeah, but he | ||
| want to do a rooster swap Oh, no, I think I think once we set up the space we're | ||
| gonna have a separated area Yeah, so that there's actually like quarantine | ||
| Oh, yeah because we have three separate flocks now because we had | ||
| babies at different times and they weren't raised by the parents and | ||
| There we can't introduce them to each other like They've been introduced, but they fight. | ||
| Once the first batch are a little bit bigger, the other problem is Roberto's son, Roberto Jr. | ||
| No, they're not going to get along. | ||
| You know, Roberto Jr. | ||
| is going to be like, get out of the way, Dad. | ||
| Start placing bets? | ||
| Start placing bets? | ||
| No, it's illegal. | ||
| I know, it's very illegal. | ||
| No, we like them both. | ||
| Actually, one of the weird things, I didn't even know anything about this, but it came to my head and I thought it was just hilarious and crazy. | ||
| I spent a lot of time in Southeast Asia. | ||
| When I was in the Philippines, I'm sure you probably spent some time out there, is what blew me away was they televised cockfighting. | ||
| It was like a, yeah. | ||
| And it was like, duh, it was like kind of well produced and they would have like 50 matches in an hour. | ||
| I mean, it was like, cause they're quick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And they put like blades and spikes on there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| It's serious. | ||
| Were they finishing off the other roosters? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Cause I think when it, when he goes, it's like the, you win or you die. | ||
| Cause a lot of times they'll vote quite often. | ||
| They're both die. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When it goes on and it was so intense. | ||
| And then what blew me, I'm like, we're watching this and they actually have like, it was almost like, like a mortal combat at the end. | ||
| It was so weird. | ||
| And then they play like Bruce Lee. | ||
| Winner! | ||
| And I'm watching this with our friends at a hotel in Manila and we're just like, what is going on? | ||
| And then what made it even crazier is they had commercials during the break selling chicken steroids. | ||
| Where it's like, this guy, he's like, he's petting my, these are my champion chickens. | ||
| And he's got my supplements, the Filipino guy, he's got my chicken, all these trophies behind him. | ||
| And he's like selling, he's like, buy, you know, you know, Trenbolone for chickens or whatever it is. | ||
| Like buy, buy, and it was just like, wow, it's like a whole industry to watch. | ||
| I'm like, this is amazing. | ||
| And they can't eat them because they're all pumped full of drugs. | ||
| The Philippines is wild. | ||
| It is crazy. | ||
| It's a different place. | ||
| It is amazing. | ||
| Were you in Manila? | ||
| Yeah, Manila. | ||
| Manila was wild. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it was a great place, but it's like, I can only take it, like, I was like, okay, after a week or so at a time, like, give me the hell out of here. | ||
| I needed to leave. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The pollution and just... Traffic. | ||
| It was bad. | ||
| We got a super chat from Rita Ho. | ||
| She says, here are some facts from a Taiwanese, me. | ||
| Taiwan was colonized by Spain, Holland, and Japan, but no UK. | ||
| We have no tunnels. | ||
| More than 80% of people want to remain status quo, not part of China, not claim independence as Taiwan. | ||
| Very few want to be part of CCP. | ||
| You have no tunnels that you know of. | ||
| Well, thanks for the fact check. | ||
| Yeah, Hong Kong was the UK. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Jordan VTO8 says, NPR wrote a critique of Chappelle's new stand-up, and they say Dave used white privilege to express transphobic thoughts. | ||
| So Dave Chappelle is white privilege? | ||
| Whatever they disagree with, they make race part of the issue. | ||
| Yeah, Dave Chappelle is, this may be surprising, but he's a black man. | ||
| And he made a skit about the black KKK member that is literally turning into reality because of NPR. | ||
| Yeah, and that's why I think we're part of it. | ||
| Like, so many people think, oh, you know, the woke folks, they're imploding, they're imploding a cave. | ||
| And it's like, yes, I think they are. | ||
| But I think it's good. | ||
| They're gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. | ||
| It's gonna get a lot crazier. | ||
| I think. | ||
| We got an important one. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Phoenix499 says, spin the UFO. | ||
| It's spinning. | ||
| Get ready for this. | ||
| You got me on camera? | ||
| Hold on, I gotta... | ||
| You give Lydia a few seconds to cue that camera up. | ||
| It's one camera with multiple angles, so you can't just... There you go. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| Oh, you pressed the wrong one. | ||
| No, I did push the wrong one. | ||
| No surprise there. | ||
| Ooh, you guys can watch. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Spinning it for you, baby. | ||
| Where'd you guys get that? | ||
| I like this new UFO. | ||
| The UFO? | ||
| I got an ad for it on Instagram. | ||
| And it was, like, hovering Bluetooth speaker, and I was like, that's pretty cool. | ||
| Oh, it's a speaker? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's wirelessly charged Bluetooth speaker. | ||
| Heck yeah. | ||
| The UFO makes noises. | ||
| It's gonna look good in the dark, too. | ||
| I wonder how many of those things we sold by having that on the show and spinning it. | ||
| A few. | ||
| I love that thing. | ||
| Do you gotta get a promo code? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| No? | ||
| We are not sponsored by the UFO company. | ||
| Maybe we should be. | ||
| Maybe we should make our own. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, our own UFO. | |
| With chickens on it. | ||
| Spin the chicken. | ||
| We also have these little bowls that have a wooden platform they spin. | ||
| We gotta bring the bowls back, now that we have a wide shot. | ||
| Yes, we have room for all this stuff, yes! | ||
| All right. | ||
| Cory Gawney says, Retired Air Force, left my job with Washington State due to the mandate. | ||
| Our state employee union did nothing to support us. | ||
| Running for Olympia City Council, combating the failed woke policies of our current council. | ||
| Very great to hear, man. | ||
| Stand up for what you believe in and hope you're victorious. | ||
| All right, let's see. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Someone said, AOC spying with app for teachers. | ||
| What is that about? | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Has anyone seen that? | ||

| Spin that UFO. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Cornelius Buttknuckle says, Ian's superpower is his ability to correctly, yet somehow inappropriately, use a word. | ||

| Jack Muth says, for those that want to get out of the city, USDA has a home loan program where you can get a 100% financed home loan up to 38 years. | ||
| You can use these funds to buy or build a house in a rural area. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| I think I should do that. | ||
| USDA loan for a house in a rural area? | ||
| I have heard that, yeah. | ||
| Why isn't, why don't people do that? | ||
| I want to look that up. | ||
| We'll get more info. | ||
| We have a lot of people that we're trying to relocate for work. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
| Buy a house. | ||
| You know, I gotta say there's so much stuff out there. | ||
| It's one thing as far as like opportunity people think the jobs and like, look, I'm not a finance guru. | ||
| He's sitting next to me. | ||
| But the thing is, is one thing I do know for sure is like, you know, say what you want about the times, but like the world is flush with cash and there are tons of people. | ||
| And there are tons of like programs. | ||
| I'm not big on like big government programs, but like the SBA, aside before PPP, is an amazing program. | ||
| Some of the stuff you can do and how you can get like, you know, federally guaranteed money and all that. | ||
| And like, I mean, you're not a big government guy, but there's some really good stuff in like USDA loans, VA loans. | ||
| If you're ever in the service, you get a VA loan, but if you're not like USDA has great programs. | ||
| And even then there's like a lot of stuff out there. | ||
| It's like, you just have to know where to look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because sometimes it takes a little bit longer, especially with the SBA right now. | |
| Yeah, it takes longer. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But it's there. | ||
| Is it possible you take out a huge loan to buy a house that then the economy crashes, the house becomes worth a tenth of what it was worth, and they won't take that cash anymore to pay it back? | ||
| And then they seize the house back from you? | ||
| No, that's the opposite. | ||
| They want you to pay back the hun- Let's say it's a $100,000 house. | ||
| You get a loan for $100,000. | ||
| Now the house collapses and it's worth, you know, the economy collapses, it's worth $10,000. | ||
| They just look at you and say, I don't care about a $10,000 house, I want $100,000 back. | ||
| Yeah, we didn't loan you the house, we loaned you the money. | ||
| But you think they'll still take cash, or could it get to a point where they're like, we're not taking U.S. | ||
| dollars anymore? | ||
| For the federal government, if it's coming from like a federal loan or a federally backed loan, probably it's because they're pretty straight stick about it, you know? | ||
| But there's other stuff out there, there's tons of stuff out there. | ||
| Hey, if I may real quick, Tim, I did get a message here from a fellow EOD guy, guy I worked with, deployed, same unit I was at, Jack, and it's interesting, so I'll remove his last name, but hey, Adam. | ||
| Hey, Adam. | ||
| Uh, from platoon 501 back in 2011, 2016. | ||

| Booyah! | ||
| Well, hey Adam. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Um, reach out to me again. | ||
| Let's talk. | ||
| But yeah, I mean, that's an example. | ||
| I know so many people and I got my family. | ||
| There's tons of folks out there where they're like, Hey, I'm just not doing this. | ||
| And I got to say for the folks who aren't making a ton of money, the folks who don't have assets, you know, like real assets, you know, like that's a, that's a tough thing to do, man. | ||
| You got kids, something like that, man. | ||
| It seems like the time to build a new industry. | ||
| This has been on my mind to build this graphene factory that just sucks carbon out of the air and makes graphene, you know, puts it on copper palladium alloy or something where you can like make 50 different companies with 99 employees each and then hire all these people that are losing their jobs. | ||
| Find somebody to invest. | ||
| Get funded. | ||
| Yeah, because people will invest in that. | ||
| You need a lot of money for something like that though. | ||
