tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'll see you next time.
		I think it wasn't as good as Sticks and Stones.
		Of course, the critics are outraged, saying it was just bad.
		I love how this new generation of woke media critic hates everything that most people likes.
		Whatever.
		But of course, you see in Rotten Tomatoes, the audience absolutely loved it.
		But it's generating a lot of controversy, which is a stupid thing to say, because it's just a fringe group of woke weirdos.
		However, it's still a lot of people at Netflix.
		First we heard a trans woman stormed into a meeting and started yelling.
		Then we heard someone at Netflix leaked information about how much Dave Chappelle got paid.
		Now we're hearing 1,000 woke employees are planning a virtual shutdown where they will not be working.
		Netflix has even fired the leaker and claimed we are on the right side of history Which is kind of odd considering cuties, but sure try and stand on that hill Netflix I don't think anyone is gonna be defending you for the most part But I think most of us like Dave Chappelle and this just goes to show I think you know Kind of optimism here.
		Kind of being optimistic because it doesn't look like their protests are going to work.
		Netflix doesn't care.
		They make too much money off this.
		People like Dave Chappelle.
		So we got a lot to talk about.
		We got to talk about this.
		We got to talk about the economic collapse.
		The holidays are on the verge of... Well, the holidays will happen.
		I don't want to say they won't happen, but pumpkin shortages, turkey shortages, Christmas tree shortages.
		Well, you name it.
		That's all thanks to Joe Biden.
		But don't worry, Jen Psaki says this is good news.
		It means people are buying stuff.
		Yeah, right.
		Okay.
		Joining us to talk about a lot of these topics, and probably a whole bunch of comic book stuff, is Nerdrotic.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Hi, how you doing?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm great.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You want to introduce yourself?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		My name is Gary Buechler.
		I come from Nerdrotic.com and Nerdrotic here on YouTube.
		It's my first time here.
		I'm happy to be here.
		Happy to talk to everybody.
		It's impressive.
		It's oppressive, the compound.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Like our new studio?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I love the new studio.
		Love the house.
		Love everything about it and happy to be here.
		It's an honor.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Howdy!
		My name is Luke Godowsky here of WeAreChange.org and first off, it looks like Instagram, I might be wrong, took off a warning before people followed me on my Instagram page, so thank you guys for helping me rectify that situation by having hundreds of people follow my account.
		Second off, I personally want to thank YouTube for demonetizing my channel a few years ago, because if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have an awesome t-shirt store and shirts like this that I'm wearing right now.
		Let's say, I'm Joe Biden, and I forgot this message, which you could exclusively get on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.
		So thank you, YouTube and Instagram.
		Never thought I would say that.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		You also have a crystal around your neck.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		What is that, quartz?
		This was a gift.
		I forgot exactly what it was.
		It's not a quartz.
		It's something else.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		This is my favorite comic book of all time.
		I'm glad you're here, Gary.
		This is the Infinity Gauntlet number four.
		It's epic.
		This is when comics were real.
		And tell me off the bat, what were you gonna say?
		What's your favorite comic?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Oh, what's my favorite?
		If I have a single favorite comic, it's a run.
		So it's a Daredevil, Frank Miller's Daredevil run.
unidentified		Really?
unidentified		Wow.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I thought that I read that when I was 12.
		It was epic.
		The first time that I saw that they had killed somebody before, but first time I had read A character get killed.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's something about that.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		And there was something that impressed a lot of us 12 year olds back then who were very impressionable.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		But Fred Miller's art and his writing was just next level.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Good.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Well, maybe that was brilliant.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		This series is great.
		Well, I'm Ian Crossland.
		Happy to be here.
		Thanks.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		And I am also showing off Luke's merch from the what is it called?

luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		The Best Political Shirts dot com.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
		And he gave this to me for Christmas.
		And now I have it.

		And now let's get into that first big story.
		Dave Chappelle.
		We got this story from Gizmodo, and there's a lot of moving parts here.
		1,000 Netflix employees are reportedly planning a walkout to protest new Chappelle special.
		Staffers are threatening to revolt after executives doubled down on claims that content on screen
		Doesn't directly translate to real world harm All right. I'm i'm i'm i'm i'm well i'm in a tough spot
		right here guys Okay, netflix. They did cuties. That was messed up. They
		also do big mouth. I also think that's pretty messed up Yes, but they're defending dave chappelle from a woke mob.
		What do we do?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Conflicted.
		Take it one situation at a time, I guess.
		I'm not subscribed to Netflix anymore, but I support them in supporting Dave Chappelle.
		We're starting to see certain things break down in our system as time goes.
		This is going to be a huge face-off between two groups, we'll just say.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's important.
		I mean, no one's perfect.
		If someone does good, you compliment them.
		If someone does something bad, you criticize them.
		There's a lot of things to criticize Netflix, especially with its founder, especially with its history, especially with its past and the psychological symbolism in a lot of its content.
		But when we look at the Dave Chappelle special, unless you watched it, I don't think you should be commenting on it because I just finished watching it today.
		And it's not his best work, but it's It's powerful.
		It's impactful because it... I don't want to ruin this, so spoiler alert.
		If you haven't watched it yet, you might want to just mute it for like two minutes while I talk here.
		I mean, there's a story at the end that revolves around Daphne Dorman, a friend of Dave Chappelle that, according to her family, committed suicide because the woke mob went after her because she supported Dave Chappelle.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And this is a trans woman.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		This is a trans woman that Dave Chappelle was friends with, was doing comedy shows with, was helping, supporting, and treating like a student of the art.
		And Daphne tweeted, I tweeted this on my official Twitter account, lookwearechanged, because I I sent out the tweet that got her attacked by the hate mob and it's an important one to note here to see what she tweeted here.
		Because the family members are literally saying it was this hate mob that led to her committing suicide recently when she defended Dave Chappelle's Sticks and Stones Netflix special.
		And she said, quote, punching down requires you to consider yourself superior to another group.
		Dave Chappelle doesn't consider himself better than me in any way.
		He isn't punching up or punching down.
		He's punching lines.
		That's his job, and he's a master of his craft.
		That's what she wrote.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And this is what, I mean, it's a partial spoiler, but in the special, I mean, a large portion of it is dedicated to this story with a series of jokes in it.
		And he has this line where he's like, man, I don't know what they said to her, but they drove her to climb up on top of a building and jump off.
		And then he tells a joke about it.
		And then, you know, everyone laughs and he says, Daphne would have loved that joke because she was part of my tribe, a comedian.
		And see, that's the thing, right?
		This is an individual, a trans woman, who is like, yes, people can do jokes.
		It can be offensive.
		It's like, it is what it is.
		Dave Chappelle, we totally get it.
		But this woke mob, They need to control comedy, art, laughter.
		You know, maybe it's cliche to say communist, right?
		That's what the Soviets did.
		They can't allow people to have free thought that would challenge and spread, so they specifically target it.
		Now, these people are planning on protesting.
		I think it shows, man, their power is waning.
		Now, let me just say about Netflix.
		They did Cuties.
		Man, that's messed up.
		They do Big Mouth.
		You guys know what Big Mouth is?
		Big Mouth is a show about children going through puberty, and it's extremely sexually explicit.
		And I'm just like, yo.
		It's a cartoon.
		It's not the same as Cuties, but it's still weird.
		Like, what they're doing.
		Like, I don't know, man.
		I saw some people, like, hey, you should watch it, and I'm like, I guess.
		And I was at this guy's house, and they put it on, and I'm like, dude, this is... What are you watching, man?
		Like, I don't wanna... I can't even say what some of these episodes are about, because YouTube would literally, like, demonetize or derank or even ban us.
		If I gave you...
		The synopsis of one episode I saw?
		Yeah, we'd probably get taken down.
		Like, you can't even talk about it, but it's on Netflix.
		Netflix is also the company that fired one of their... I think an executive got fired because he was explaining to staff what words were offensive and should not be said.
		And in doing so, he said the words.
		And so they freaked out and they fired the guy.
		Now, with Netflix coming out and defending Dave Chappelle, we have to defend them on this one.
		Because all the people who came out and said, Netflix is evil, I'm canceling my subscription, should be coming back and say, for this, I actually will consider subscribing.
		Because think about it, even though they did bad things, if there's no redemption for Netflix, they won't change course.
		If Netflix feels like, look, we tried giving these people what they wanted with Dave Chappelle, it wasn't enough, screw it, cut them off, there's no point, we're never gonna win them back.
		If we say, this is what we do like, and we're willing to sign up now because you're defending Dave Chappelle, they're gonna be like, hey, do more of this.
		The woke people aren't buying anything.
		They don't got money.
		These are the people that we should be supporting.
		That's why I think it's important to actually be like, defend Netflix on this one.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, you know, we don't have to always lump everything in when talking about a particular case.
		And again, case by case basis, there's a lot to criticize Netflix.
		I mean, it's just weird that the founder of Netflix, his uncle is Edward Bernays.
		He's a nephew of Sigmund Freud.
		Yeah, this is according to the New York Times and they're reporting on him.
		This is obviously an industry that has grown very fast, very rapidly, and I still think it's figuring itself out because you do see a lot of propaganda, you do see a lot of subliminal messaging, you do see A lot of crazy content out there that you don't see on normal television.
		You do see them taking risks, especially with things like Black Mirror.
		There's a lot of predictive programming.
		There's a lot of conditioning.
		There's a lot of things that we could say here, but I still think, by and large, Netflix has expanded.
		It's at a point where YouTube is trying to become it.
		So that's power right there, to say the least.
		How are they going to wield this power?
		How are they going to move forward?
		It's going to be very interesting to see, but they're a major powerhouse to contend with.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It is it is difficult though.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean because they don't they still have cuties up Yeah, and it's like even if you defend Dave Chappelle, they're also getting you to come on board with that kind of garbage Yeah, so I'll I've support them Sorry, I support them defending Dave Chappelle all day long.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I'm not gonna sign up again until they get rid of cuties I kind of hold the line there And it's hard, you're right.
		We need to show people support when they, you know, like a good, if they're a puppy dog, you go, good dog.
		When they do something good, they pee on the floor, you get mad at them.
		But let's see what they do in this one instance.
		And then I will see if I can support it.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's a weird fight because Dave Chappelle isn't against trans people.
		He has friends that are trans people.
		He cares about the community.
		His message is like, hey, stop trying to tell me how to live my life.
		Stop trying to control every aspect of my existence.
		Stop trying to cancel people just for trying to make you laugh.
		And I think that's the bigger takeaway here because, you know, this is all at the end of the day coming to comedy, coming to someone mastering an art, trying to help people, trying to make people's lives better, trying to improve the quality of their mental health by being able to laugh at very tough, difficult situations, which sadly are stigmatized to a point and level where you can't even discuss them honestly on, you know, the major information highways that we have on the internet.
		You can't really get the truth about a lot of these issues ... you can't really speak about them openly so the last thing ... that we have is comedy so to see this kind of war against ... comedy it's troubling I have a lot of negative things to say ... about Netflix on this side it's a weird fight because.
		It's weird leftists who are protesting someone trying to help them and make them laugh, who's essentially on their side in many elements of his existence.
		You know, it used to be the left used to protest multinational corporations, governments, the military-industrial complex, the prison-industrial complex, Big Pharma.
		That's an old one.
		There's a lot of dust to wipe off there.
		Holy cow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Tucker Carlson, critical of the World Trade Organization or something, you know, he's talking about that, and I'm just like, man, to see Tucker Carlson on the side of the WTO protesters from the battle in Seattle is just a weird thing.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It really is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Man, but hey, I'll take it, you know.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		We're in a, yeah, we're in a weird timeline for sure.
		Uh, I think, I mean, there's that, I want to sit back and kind of watch them eat each other at times like this.
		It's just, it's fun.
		Cause they deserve it.
		But, um, what, what you said earlier date, if you watch the special, yeah, there's no way you can criticize it without watching it.
		Cause it really is an end to all his Netflix specials.
		It really is kind of an epilogue to Sticks and Stones, which is absolutely just epic.
		It's so good.
		And he really says what he means.
		And it's like what I was noticing was he says really normal stuff.
		That's, uh, that's considered controversial now to where I, I don't even, I mean, I'm a guest on a show, so I don't want to repeat it, but he said something very normal about women in the process of giving birth and, uh, what that is, uh, you know, compared to, and people were applauding and we're like, yeah, that's something that like really happens every day.
		It's not.
unidentified		Yeah.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It's weird that we're applauding stuff like that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's like women give birth.
unidentified		Yeah, dude.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, uh, I talk to a lot of regular people.
		You know, I go out, we go to the mall, I was at a farm recently talking to some regular people just about life, and their opinions are fairly similar to all of ours.
		I think the issue is that these leftists and people at Netflix, it's that tweet we pulled up before from Matthew Iglesias where he's like, Twitter is people who are 95% further left than the average voter, arguing that people who are 75% further left than the regular voter are far right or alt-right or something.
		That's exactly it.
		Netflix thinks Twitter is moderate.
		And that's like, that's like going into a sewer and thinking you're getting farm-fresh vegetables when it's black sludge.
		You're like literally pouring soju in a cup, like, hmm, looks like farm-fresh vegetables to me.
		It's like, dude, that is, that is the after effect of all of the refuse and waste and chemicals.
		That is not real life.
		This is what you get.
		These are the shows they make.
		It's kind of crazy to me that they make and keep making some of these shows and some shows get cancelled.
		I don't even know how they determine which show is worth keeping.
		Perhaps they liked Cuties because the controversy was just good for their brand recognition or something?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		But a lot of people cancelled their membership after that.
		A lot.
		I cancelled mine as well.
		Uh, you know, everyone has a friend of a friend anyway to see some of the latest stuff.
		That's how I watched, uh, you know, today's, uh, Dave Chappelle special.
		But, uh, this is a very interesting, uh, dichotomy because it used to be Netflix used to allow you to rate what, uh, the, the videos that you would watch out of five stars.
		And then of course came Amy Schumer and absolutely nuked and destroyed that system because people are like, no, we don't like this.
		We don't support this.
		And they didn't like that.
		And they got rid of the people's voice on Netflix.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That was hilarious.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now you have that Hannah Gadsby, I think her name is?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Oh gosh, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And she's complaining about it as well because they're like, look, we have an eclectic group of voices.
		Check out the story we got from The Hollywood Reporter.
		Netflix fires employee for leaking confidential information on Chappelle's special.
		The employee leaked financial data to Bloomberg, which reported in October 13th article that Netflix spent $24.1 million on Dave Chappelle's The Closer.
		24.1 million dollars on Dave Chappelle's The Closer.
		Woo!
unidentified		Woo!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Not only is Dave Chappelle smacking down Wokeness and just speaking his mind,
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		he's getting paid that kind of money to do it?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Nice.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Wow, man.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		That was half of what he walked away from Comedy Central for, so he's made it back, I'm guessing.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Good for Dave.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, he also said he's not gonna speak about this again.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		He says it's over, I'm not gonna be doing specials, I'm done.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I gotta say, watching the special, it feels like they got him.
		Dave Chappelle was like, I can't do this anymore.
		He said, I'm not gonna make these jokes anymore because if they don't get it, I don't know, I can't do it.
		Dave Chappelle gave in.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		That's too bad because he's a cultural force and he can change people's minds.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		He did it before he walked away from the Chappelle show.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Just went to Africa for a while.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Checked out.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		He does what he wants.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think I think it was because I think his story was that when he did the Chappelle show, he did a sketch that was critical of racism.
		But the people like he talked to someone who didn't know that's what it was.
		And it kind of got him mad that he was like, is that what you think I'm trying to say?
		I remember reading a story about that.
		I don't know.
		Maybe it's been a long time.
		I'm getting the story wrong, but something like that.
		Here's what I think is really crazy.
		Netflix says, we are on the right side of history in row on internal message board over the comedian's jokes.
		That to me is the crazy, crazy thing.
		He says, quote, we let go, a spokesperson said, we let go of an employee for sharing confidential commercially sensitive information outside the company.
		We understand this employee may have been motivated by disappointment and hurt with Netflix, but maintaining a culture of trust and transparency is core to our company.
		The longtime employee was fired because they leaked that information.
		But to say that they're on the right side of history.
		I do believe that our commitment to artistic expression and pleasing our members is the right long-term choice for Netflix and that we are on the right side, but only time will tell.
		That's apparently what they said to the New York Times.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		This is what you get when you let this stuff go on for too long.
		And now it's biting them in the ass so good.
		And that part of it, I'm extremely happy about to see them suffer these consequences.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, that being said, maybe not supporting them is still the right move.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Maybe.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I don't support centralized entertainment networks like this.
		I think you need a decentralized network that's going to propagate the art, because anytime you have a gatekeeper, you're going to have people saying yes or no, and that's the problem.
		It's not that they said no, it's giving someone the ability to say yes or no and get super rich off it.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, on that note, there are a lot of different options that you have.
		You can let the free market decide where you're going to spend your entertainment dollars.
		I use Hulu.
		That's my choice.
		I don't know if you completely agree with them or whatever, but you can use Disney Plus, you can use Hulu, you can use, like, DirecTV and Amazon.
		They're all so awful.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They're all so awful.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I know, they're all bad in different ways.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Hulu did that tweet where they were like, remember a couple years ago?
		Don't wear Halloween costumes that are insensitive.
		And I'm like, why is my online streaming platform telling you what to wear?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Because you get a central authority that builds up millions, billions of followers, and then they sell the company to some idiot that gets the Twitter account of 40 million people and can tell you to do stupid stuff.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And now most of these platforms are filled with ads.
		You're paying a premium just for a specific channel.
		And now Amazon, Hulu, all of them are like paramount.
		They're all playing ads before you get to watch the content that you paid for.
		It's just another slap in the face to the consumer.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		And that's probably why they're not doing that well.
		And they're going to all have to.
		One of them is probably going to get bought up by like Paramount.
		It might be for sale by Apple sometimes.
		And they're way too late in the ad game.
		But the reason, you know, I think Netflix is way too powerful and they're a billion dollar corporation that does make way, you know, they were This is a rumor, okay, but they were thinking about going into content creation like YouTube.
		They thought about it seriously three years ago, ditched out of it.
		Yeah, they were too far behind.
		But their infrastructure, I had a good friend who worked with them in the early days.
		That infrastructure, they worked on that for years.
		So they are light years ahead of any other streaming service for a long time.
		They have patents on certain menus.
		That's why you're on Disney Plus, you're on Paramount Plus, and you're like, why is this menu set?
		Well, they own half of it.
		Most of the menus and stuff, they own the patents on that, so they can't go.
unidentified		Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Remember, wasn't Amazon going to do a YouTube thing a few years back?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Remember that?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, they're doing some kind of live streaming thing now, which is weird.
		Twitch?
		No, on Amazon, on the website.
		That's weird.
		They're doing like, here, watch this live stream, which is usually someone trying to sell products.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's pretty weird.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Amazon Live.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Is that what that is?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is this the right side of history is the question.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I don't think so.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Centralized authorities are not, we're not going to look back on having a gatekeeper as the right side.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I guess I looked at it like freedom of expression, not centralized authority.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		So I suspect what's happening with Netflix is that they're looking at Twitter and they're looking at their marketing data and they're like, okay, Twitter is really not real life.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		And what's going to be best for us is actually having diverse viewpoints and diverse opinions, whether everyone agrees with stuff like cuties or whether everyone agrees with stuff like Dave Chappelle or not, which I think is probably smart and will do them well in the longterm.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, the challenge is, this is where our culture's at.
		I mean, you've got Dave Chappelle the Closer on Netflix.
		It's a point of conversation.
		People group around it.
		And that means people have to get a subscription to be able to watch it, or, you know, borrow a friend's.
		But for the most part, it means more subscriptions, and that's exactly what Netflix wants.
		Then they'll probably just keep doing the same controversial stuff back and forth to generate more controversy, which is good for their business no matter what happens.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I agree.
		I want, I like Dave Chappelle.
		I'm going to side with Dave Chappelle and not Netflix.
		And I think the only reason Netflix is supporting Dave Chappelle is because they gave him $24 million.
		And it's just, they're weighing out like what, you know, because if they, if they Pull that special?
		They're just weighing what the backlash is going to be, what's going to be worse.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Are they publicly traded too, aren't they?
		Yes.
		Imagine explaining to your shareholders why we dumped $24 million in Dave Chappelle only to pull it within like a week or something.
		Or it's been a little bit longer than that, but still.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Having a thousand, I think if a thousand employees do walk out, that might make a difference.
		I mean, there's a lot of people there.
		I don't know if that is actually going to happen.
		I mean, that sounds like a plan.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		A thousand?
		I mean, who's saying that?
		Like, where's the claim coming from?
		There's going to be a thousand people coming out on protest.
		I mean, maybe?
		Insiders?
		Yeah.
		I mean, that just seems extremely optimistic.
		You could never ask protesters how many people are at a protest because they're always going to It's not about that though.
		number and it's just ridiculous to think that's going to happen.
		But have any of these people watched the show?
		Because I think if they do, they would get a sense of understanding.
		It's not about that though.
		I know, of course it's not.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You go to these people and you're like, here's the video clip of what he actually said and
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		they're going to be like, you're a bigot.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Netflix net worth is 280 billion.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Whoa, really?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		As of October 14, yeah.
unidentified		Wow.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Whoa, look how that has shot up in the last year.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		People gotta watch something.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		From like 180 to 200.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I guess here's the question, you know, do you think that we're gonna see more companies try and embrace anti-woke stuff?
		Because look at what Bill Maher said.
		Bill Maher said, for the first time, he's playing to a mixed audience.
		He said, people are hungry for critiques of the woke left.
		It's like, relate to the party, Bill!
		But, I get it.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Uh, yeah, he's way late to that party.
		People are starving for stuff like that, but I don't think they're going to go to broadcast entertainment for it.
		I think they're finding it right here and right on YouTube with other people.
		And I think they are way late.
		I would like to see the establishment, uh, turn it around.
		I just have very little faith.
		They, they need a lot of, they need a lot of failures.
		Uh, which they haven't had.
		They've been able to either hide them or, you know, who knows what's true anymore.
		Like they're starting to hide, uh, TV failures now.
		They're starting, you know, they're, they're, they're not giving, they don't have to give out numbers for streaming services.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know what I don't believe?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't believe anyone liked Kimmy Schmidt.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I don't either.
unidentified		I do.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Did you watch it?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I watched it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You liked it.
		I liked it.
		Lies.
		I'm such a big fan of 30 Rock.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I will tell you why I like Kimmy Schmidt.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Because she was trapped underground in a bunker and as someone who was homeschooled and isolated from the rest of the world for my entire upbringing, that really resonated with me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So I don't know if that made the jokes funny, I guess?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I liked it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So this is cute.
		Look, I watch, you know, I just binged 30 Rock again because I periodically watch 30 Rock because it's amazing.
		And I just laugh non-stop.
		It's brutally hilarious.
		And then I'm like, I finished it, and I was like, okay, I'm gonna watch Kimmy Schmidt.
		I tried to watch it before, I gotta watch it, because it's Tina Fey, very similar style of humor, and then I'm two episodes in with my eyes just like half closed, like not a single laugh, maybe a chuckle, like, eh.
		And then I was like, how- I look at the- I look at the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's like, award-winning, number one.
		And I'm like, dude, I understand how the media lies, because I pay attention to politics.
		I'm looking at these shows, and I'm like, I really don't believe people are- are that into this show.
		And it only got, I think, four seasons, which says to me, it was doing bad, people didn't like it, the media lies to try and make money, and then ultimately they cancel it because people weren't watching.
		That's my opinion.
		I don't know, Jack Murphy said he liked it.
		Maybe that's just me, then.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I don't think you're ever going to get truly anti-woke, sustainable anti-woke or, or like edgy stuff out of corporate media ever.
		I mean, you already have broadcast things.
		You can't say the F word.
		You can't talk about this.
		I can't joke about this on this show.
		So it's really not anti, it's not like a comedy show where I can be free.
		And corporations can be sold to some idiots.
		So you need a decentralized way for, for the comedy to thrive, I think.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There are always limits.
		People need to understand this too.
		This is what gets lost in the free speech debate.
		You can't go on Tucker Carlson's show and say a lot of things.
		They'd ban you.
		I think Jesse Kelly, was he the one who got... or was it Michael Knowles?
unidentified		It's not Tucker, it's Fox.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, if you go on Tucker's show with him that owns the network and owns the ISP, he'll let you do whatever you want.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Look, the reason we don't swear on this show is not because YouTube's gonna ban us for doing it.
		Tons of people swear.
		It's because we've gotten emails from people being like, hey, my kids are with me when the show's on.
		Would you guys mind keeping the swears down?
		It's a cultural choice.
		We don't lose anything by not swearing.
		And there are kids who are watching, and we really want younger people to hear the message
		and be with their parents.
		I'm like, that makes sense to me.
		So we ask people, don't swear, but if you do, we're not gonna cry about it or anything.
		Yeah, so the same thing is true for a lot of shows that will be like, hey, we have our limits
		on what we're willing to, what buds are willing to listen.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But like in 2008, you could swear, and it was almost like the kids loved it.
		And that was when Larry and Sergey owned the company.
		And then they sold it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm not talking about YouTube.
		I'm talking about we got an email.
		We get emails periodically from back when we used to swear a lot more.
		And they'd be like, hey man, big fans of the show.
		I was watching last night with my, you know, husband and my kids.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But I'm a puritan.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And they were like, I just, you know, when you guys start swearing a lot, we like don't want our kids to hear that kind of language.
		And then we're like, All right.
		I understand.
		We want to give proper values and manners to children, and we can do this show, and we can be something that people can listen to sometimes, because we do get spicy stories, when their kids are around.
		I respect that.
		I do.
		And so we're like, try not to swear.
		If you swear, it happens.
		We're not going to cry about it.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I had a couple of those emails, too.
		I remember calling Bill Gates a special name.
		I can't name here.
		And then I get an email saying that one of the viewer's toddlers was just repeating it.
		And they're like, thanks.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's my favorite.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		He's like, I'm not going to.
		And then people are like, I'm not just going to watch your show.
		I can't watch your show because of this.
		So I understand that.
		That's why family friendly show on my show as well.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, as long as we're getting the ideas across and we're able to talk about important subjects, I've got no problem with that.
		Okay, we won't swear.
		My favorite was when we were talking about a group of people that are all in a big circle together.
unidentified		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And they're all patting each other on the back.
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Complimenting each other for being jerks.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And it was a circle of jerks and we call it something else More adult and then I got a couple emails and they were one of them was like hey man big fan I just had to spend you know the past 15 minutes after your show explaining to my kid what that meant Just want to let you know that like when we're in the car and I'm taking my kids somewhere and we put the show on and I'm like We'll say a circle of jerks all patting each other on the back instead of, you know, the other way to say it.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Self-congratulatory.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		When it comes to comedy, though, you can't let your audience decide how you run your show.
		So this isn't a comedy show.
		If it was, you know, take the censors off.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And that I agree with, too.
		Like, when it comes to comedy, someone could be like, hey, man, you can't say that around me because I got kids.
		Like, it's a comedy show.
		You shouldn't bring your kids.
		This is where we get, like, unless we're doing children's comedy.
		Like, why did the chicken cross the road?
		Funny joke.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It sure was.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I wouldn't watch that on YouTube anyway.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		It'd be creepy.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Probably against, you know, whatever that new law is, that COPPA, whatever the heck it was.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah, yeah, the anti-kids thing.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that everybody freaked out about.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I want to talk about Squid Game.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We should talk about Squid Game.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		What about it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So, I think Squid Game is...
		I don't think it's overtly political.
		Apparently, you know, you were telling me, uh, Gary, that it was like, there's like a political message in Squid Game.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, the writer, at least that's what he said.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		My takeaway from it was communism bad.
		That was my takeaway from it.
		Okay, so now I'm going to say this, for those that are listening, spoiler alert, if you haven't finished Squid Game, it's an awesome show.
		I prefer watching it in the original Korean with subtitles.
		I think it's fantastic.
		With the dub, you lose a lot of that reverb and natural sound.
		It's kind of weird.
		So, spoiler alert!
		I'm going to say it again.
		We are going to spoil this show to the... To Kingdom Come!
		There we go.
		Spoiler alert.
		So, what was it about?
		You mentioned that the creator had said something and it was like...
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		The creator called it a fable for modern day capitalism, but also for life and the competitiveness of life.
		And that message, it's not subtle at the end, which I won't ruin for anybody, but it's not subtle at the end.
		And that messaging was there.
		And, you know, some people can't get past it.
		And I understand that, but I thought it was a Damn good story.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What was the messaging?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What do you think the message conveyed?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Basically, it's a cold and cruel system.
		In that fable, there is no resolution except for at the end they create their own enemy, quote unquote.
		But that's what I got out of it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Alright, alright.
		Just for context, okay, because those of you that are sticking around even though we told you spoilers are here I'm gonna give you the quick breakdown of the show It's a bunch of desperate people in debt and then all of a sudden they get an opportunity to play in a game But the game is brutal and you die in it But if you don't you win I think I think it's like equivalent of US like 35 to 40 million dollars is the translation so it's like 45 billion Korean won or something and Now we're gonna get into, uh, again, I warned you.
		Spoilers.
		I think the whole thing is the perfect example of somebody who thinks they're opposing capitalism but just makes communism and wokeness look really, really dumb.
		And the show ends up being, in my opinion, more anti-communist than anything.
		So one of the big themes in the show is that everyone is equal.
		They all enter the game as equals, and they're allowed to play as equals.
		And there's an arc in the show where it's like somebody violates the equality and so they kill him.
		And they were like, that's the worst thing you could have done, is strip the equality.
		But now, here's how the show ends.
		You've been warned.
		In this equal system, everyone dies but one person who gets all of the money.
		Okay, so that doesn't sound to me like capitalism.
		In capitalism, we recognize not everybody is equal.
		Not everybody does have an equal chance.
		We do want equal opportunity, but some people are poor and some people are rich.
		In this system, everyone is wearing the same clothes, in the same room, being brutalized by the powers, that ultimately results in one person having all the wealth and everyone dying.
		That is not capitalism.
		In capitalism, there's too much food, people are morbidly obese, and there are homeless people who are fat.
		In communism, everybody wears the same clothes, they have limited access to anything, they get garbage food every day.
		They're like, okay, the game's over, here's the food you get, and they get trash.
		And they're fighting each other because they're starving.
		That, to me, is an indictment of communism.
		And if this guy who made the show is actually like, it's actually capitalism that's bad, I'm like, it just goes to show this is a person who made a great show but was really dumb and didn't understand they were actually critiquing.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's like they took them out of a capitalistic system where they were doing pretty bad to a communistic system where they were doing really, really bad and were executed by the state, which usually happens under communism.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		For like childish whims!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Exactly, and that's literally what happens under communism.
		Look up what happened in China, what happened in Russia, what happened in Uh, you know, in Europe as well.
		So there's a long history.
		There's a long context to, you know, people just being purged, taken away.
		Another very interesting aspect of that story is the masks that the very rich people were wearing were kind of similar to the same masks that the Rothschilds were pictured wearing at some of their private parties in Galveston a couple decades ago.
		So I, I saw that right away.
		I was like, wait, wait, wait, that's, that's, that's the elites doing this.
		And, uh, you know, I, I thought, I thought of the movie more of a critique.
		about the ruling elites because it's essentially, again, spoiler alert, rich people coming together
		to watch the average poor people, struggling people kill each other over money. And there's
		some important kind of parallels there. The series is kind of gory, so if you're sensitive
		to that stuff, I wouldn't watch it. I watched it. I was like, Tim, you got to watch it.
		But you watched it, and it is very thought-provoking. It is very emotional, and it definitely pulls at
		the heartstrings in many different ways. I looked this up.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Luke, you ain't kidding.
		What is this? There's a bunch of photos from this Rothschild party where they're all wearing
		these masks that are similar to the Squid Game thing, but that's probably what he was doing,
		the creator.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		It was a guy, right, who created it?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I'm hearing a lot of different reports about this guy saying that he lost a bunch of teeth because of the stress during the production of this movie.
		I heard that he tried to get this movie done for years and it kept getting denied.
		The series, you mean?
		I saw these masks before.
		They're at the private gallows and private meetings of the super-rich that already do take place when you do look at the very powerful people in our world that manipulate the system for their own personal benefit.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'll put it this way.
		Capitalism isn't the problem.
		Communism doesn't exist.
		It's just this idealized system.
		We might as well call it unicornism.
		The real problem is corruption and corporatism.
		And the left says capitalism when they mean corporatism.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I think that's exactly the problem.
		I think that's what he's doing with the masks.
		He thinks that the Rothschilds embody capitalism.
		They do not.
		They embody elitism.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They're the biggest promoters and pushers of communism and destroyers of actual real free markets.
		Another interesting aspect was the fat guy.
		I mean, he looked almost exactly like Newt Gingrich.
		I talked to Newt Gingrich a couple times.
		I went up to him, asked him straight up to his face, What did you do at the Bohemian Grove when you shipped in specifically male prostitutes?
		And he was sweating up a storm.
		I did this like five times to him.
		He really doesn't like being asked those questions.
		But we got to understand here, there is some level of reality when it comes to super rich people coming together in the middle of the woods doing very weird things.
		That does happen.
		It's called the Bohemian Grove.
		There's also other kind of secret societies and offshoots to these secret societies.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Remember when Bilderberg was a conspiracy theory?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they said it didn't exist.
		They said it didn't exist a few years ago.
		And I was there at the meetings.
		It's here.
		It's happening.
		They're like, no, he's crazy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Remember when they sent that dude from the Guardian down?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He was really angry.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Charlie Skelton.
		He came there to make fun.
		He's now my friend.
		Charlie Skelton was sent down There by the Guardian to make fun of the people outside they sent him down there there.
		He's like there's a bunch of loonies.
		There's a bunch of crazies.
		He literally got followed everywhere assaulted by police officers.
		They raided his hotel room.
		They raided my hotel room the police officers acted like the Gestapo against any journalist trying to do any real reporting against the Bilderberg group and he came out of it shook saying hey.
		I thought these guys were crazy.
		I came here to make fun of them.
		These guys are honest.
		I'm being followed by police everywhere I go, and they're literally trying to arrest me for just trying to take a photo of David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger walking down the street together.
		I got arrested at Bilderberg way too many times, too.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They said it wasn't real.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They said it was a conspiracy theory.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it doesn't exist.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And it's like you could literally just stand there and be like, here it is.
		And they'd be like, sorry, sir, it's a private event.
		It's the Bilderberg, you know, group meeting.
		And then you look in the newspaper and it's like, nope, not a real thing.
unidentified		Yep, doesn't exist.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Crazy.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I remember there being like, this is absolutely absurd.
		But when really rich people do come together, they do really weird stuff.
		And there's a lot of weird stuff that I even experienced at Bilderberg.
		There's even weirder stuff happening at the Bohemian Grove.
		And this is some of the stuff we know about.
		What about the stuff we don't know about?
		So I thought this was a perfect time to talk about the bigger elements of these elites who do very sinister things.
		So that was me, the larger conversation of Squid Games.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But that's always, the criticism is always the corrupt elites.
		I don't, you know, when they talk about like, oh communism, oh communism, they never actually implement it because it's not possible.
		It's impossible to do.
		And then when they criticize, when the left criticizes capitalism, they're really just angry there are elites with centralized power able to do really messed up things and get away with it because of how much power they've accumulated.
		That's not what capitalism is supposed to represent either.
		And the problem is, communism doesn't exist, right?
		They say that, like, every time they try it, they get some weird form of, you know, genocidal authoritarianism.
		Capitalism, at its root, is just people with capital from their work can reinvest that into making more projects.
		However, in our current system, which mixes it, we end up with a lot of corruption, and then you get a left saying, aha, this proves capitalism doesn't work, and it's like, no, actually, the problem is the corruption.
		I don't care who's doing it or why, corruption, bad.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		When you use the power of government to destroy your competitors in the, quote, free market, that's not a free market.
		That's communism.
		That's government direct intervention into the free market.
		That's preventing the market from being able to express itself, from being able to speak for itself.
		Because usually, in the free market, if someone does something good, they get promoted, they get business, they get commerce, they get people going to them because they know that their reputation is good.
		When you have multinational billionaire elites playing ... by different set of rules not paying taxes getting ... subsidies literally getting taxpayer-funded money getting ... bailouts and restrictions and rules that punish their ... competitors and only help them that is not a free market we ... don't have that we have multinational corporations ... globalists some people call them that are literally the ones ... calling the shots creating policies that screw you over ... while they get whatever they want for the grabbing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I gotta bring it up again for the 800th time.
		My friends, you've seen it in almost every segment I've done over the past few months.
		Democrats in the civics poll believe the economy is good.
		Republicans and independents think the economy is bad.
		70% of independent voters believe the economy is to some degree bad, either fairly or extremely.
		88% of Republicans say either fairly bad or very bad.
		54% of Democrats say the economy is very good.
		We got the story from Breitbart.
		Consumer sentiment crashes as confidence in Biden economic policy, I'm sorry, collapses.
		Breitbart says, The University of Michigan's preliminary October read of consumer sentiment fell to 71.4 from 72.8 in September.
		Richard Curtin, the survey's chief economist, explained the downturn.
		Consumer sentiment has remained for the past three months at the lows first recorded in response to the shutdown of the economy.
		The Delta variant supply shortages, reduced labor force participation rates, will continue to dim the pace of consumer spending into 2022.
		There's another less tangible factor that has contributed to the slump in optimism.
		Confidence in government economic policies has significantly declined during the past six months.
		So there you go, my friends.
		There are people who are living in a cult.
		They believe for some reason... I just... I literally don't understand how they think that things are going well.
		We are being told by Jen Psaki that it's good that prices are going up because it means that things are being sold.
		We saw that article that was like, inflation is actually a good thing.
		It means you'll make more money.
		No, no, no, no, no.
		It means you can't buy stuff.
		It means your savings are being gutted.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		This reminds me of Bernie saying that bread lines are a good thing.
		That means there's a bunch of bread.
		Like, no, you're wrong.
		You're wrong about this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		People are waiting in line to eat.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's a good thing.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Uh, I, we're in this weird limbo right now where everything is, we're still getting out of, uh, you know, the COVID economy.
		Uh, I, I'm selling a house right now and the market is still good, but that, I mean, you can see... Can I buy it?
		Yeah, sure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's in California.
unidentified		Yeah, it's in California, but you can keep that.
unidentified		Sorry.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's a question though.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is, is, uh, is, so right now in rural areas, rural property is absolutely bonkers.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like property that used to be a couple hundred grand is now going for like triple.
		But what about in San Francisco?
		Is it going down?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It hasn't going down yet.
		It hasn't skyrocketed up.
		San Francisco is, it's not the best test because they don't have a lot of inventory.
		So when a house goes on, it's usually gone and it's bought up by a company usually.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Who in their right mind would move to San Francisco right now?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		I don't know.
		We just had a poll come out recently saying half the people, half of the residents want to leave.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You guys have poop all over your streets.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		And that's not the deal.
		That's not even an over-exaggeration.
		It started drifting out into the outer streets.
		It used to be just in the Tenderloin or on 6th.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like rolling down the street.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It's rolling down California Street going down 101, which they just blocked off because you can't drive on 101 anymore.
		You can just ride a bike on it.
		Or poop.
		You can poop on it, too, if you like.
		Nice.
		Yeah, it's terrible.
		It's terrible.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I've seen things in California.
		I never thought I'd see.
		Yeah, I was in L.A.
		and I'm I was going to a shopping center and then right in the middle of the street, this large homeless woman just walked right in, spread her legs and squatted and just went to town.
		And I was like, what is happening right now?
		This is crazy.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Welcome to the city.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I remember doing a walk and talk that was unedited, and I was just walking down San Francisco, down where I think City Hall, is that it?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Or the State Capitol?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		City Hall.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Where City Hall is.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It looks like a State Capitol.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And I saw a lot of people taking the vaccine on the streets.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Self-administered.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Self-administered.
		And I saw a lot of different stuff.
		But as I was filming, as I was walking, there was a lady screaming on the top of her lungs.
		And I see police officers hear that and literally run the other way.
		And I'm like, this is what's happening, one of America's biggest city with some of the highest rents.
		How in the world do you live there?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Not for long.
		I'm leaving.
		I'm getting the hell out.
		It was enough.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Are you able to tell us what options you're looking at?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Texas, any place in the country away from a city.
		I don't want to live in a city at all anymore.
		Smart move.
		I grew up in San Diego, like never had my car broken into.
		Lived in San Francisco for 18 years, had my car broken into twice a year.
unidentified		Wow.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Twice a year.
		And my wife had hers broken into.
		It's all the time.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's always... Have you considered Chicago?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No.
		Surprisingly enough, no.
		Nice city.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		New York City is also very charming with, you know, a lot of people trying to stab you.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Big rats.
		Big, huge rats.
		They didn't oversell that one.
		I couldn't believe it when I saw that.
		But no, no cities.
		I'm done with cities.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Sorry, go ahead.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No, no, I just the crime.
		I don't know how they can say the economy is good when we have how many we have.
		There's a help wanted sign in California everywhere, everywhere I go.
		Every shopping center has at least five.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If it's not empty, it's a cult.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, if it's not an empty building, it's a help wanted sign.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You go to the supermarket out here and there's a sticker on every other refrigerator door and on every aisle multiple times saying $500 sign on bonus.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And these people are just like, I think the economy is good.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I tried to go to a restaurant earlier today.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		The first two all closed when it said it was open.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yo, Waffle House is closed!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That scared me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I've seen a lot of things.
		I've seen people die before my eyes.
		But when I saw Waffle House closed, my heart felt like it was being just strained.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And I was like, it's real.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's happening.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		It's the end of the world.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		True story, there is a Starbucks near my house that ran out of coffee because the supply line chain ran out of coffee and had to close.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I want to just gloat when I was saying like, hey, you should get emergency food a year ago because you never know.
		Sometimes it rains, there could be a flood, the road might get closed, and you got to have some food and water in the closet you can pop up when you need it.
		Yeah.
		and all these lefties were like, ha ha Tim's so dumb, he's telling people
		to buy emergency food.
		And now we're going on like year two of supply chain collapse.
unidentified		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
		Well, you know, go to your store.
		There's food.
		I'm not saying people are starving right now, but I'll tell you this, the prices for emergency food
		has like doubled or tripled.
		Some shops don't sell them anymore.
		So if you got it, you're good.
		If you don't, oof.
		Yeah.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Then Bitcoin's through the roof.
		What's it called?
		I already made a list here.
		Bitcoin's up.
		Stocks, bonds, copper all up.
		Confidence crashes near decades low.
		As the Washington Post is literally writing articles that are entitled, America needs higher, longer-lasting inflation.
		I mean, how more criminal could you get?
		When you look at inflation, it predominantly makes people poor.
		Already, the cost of living astronomically high.
		The cost of food, higher than it ever has been for the average American.
		And everything for the basic cost of living is going up.
		Wages?
		Staying the same.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What did they call it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Was it Reuters called it a great reboot?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, a great.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A great reboot.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, for real.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think Reuters did, right?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think so.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The great reboot.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like, guys, we know what the great reset is.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		We know the word.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yo, man.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Bitcoin is what, like 62K?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Imagine how many people I remember, because we talked about it.
		I'll just say this right away, like why Bitcoin works.
		It's decentralized.
		It is better than all the other cryptos, in my opinion.
		And when you've got a failing U.S.
		economy and failing U.S.
		policy, Bitcoin is global and decentralized.
		So it's much, much more difficult to actually manipulate.
		Now, a lot of people say, oh, but Elon Musk tweets and he manipulates it.
		Nah, you don't get it.
		We know what the real value of that coin is.
		And basically right now, that means you're buying at a discount.
		But I remember when it hit 60 and a bunch of people were like, oh, you know, it's a bubble and then it fell down to 30 and they started saying like, see, that proves it.
		And I'm sitting back like, OK, sell your Bitcoin then.
		And they did.
		And poor people were selling.
		Now it's back up over 60.
		It's its highest point, isn't it?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I don't know exactly.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I have to double check that to make sure I'm accurate.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		61,351 dollars per coin.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Not quite the highest.
		It looks like it was close.
		63 or something.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Still.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I mean, April of 2021.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, 63 in April 15th.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's so high.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Essentially, it's where it was.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's at about its highest point again.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		people need to understand this is a sign not of this is not good news okay if you are a if you're a cryptocurrency holder what this really means is your dollars are becoming worthless yeah so when we when we were in uh back in november when we were talking we had bill ottman on the show and he was like yo buy ethereum And I was like, okay.
		And so I bought some more Bitcoin and Ethereum.
		And then within a few months, it was at $30K.
		And I was like, whoa.
		Lumber went up at basically the same rate.
		So what I think is actually happening is when Bitcoin skyrockets like this, what it really means is not that it's getting more valuable, but the dollar is getting less valuable.
		Now they're saying, I saw one report, the dollar will lose half its value in the next decade or so, next 13 years.
		Sit on that money, sit on that money.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It has to.
		I mean, how much did they print over the last two years?
		Like six trillion, I think?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Four to six trillion.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Even though, arguably, it's still BS, the dollar's not based on anything and it's just a big joke at this point, but when you print that much over the last year, it has to fall.
		And they've been kicking the can down the road for, I mean, longer than I've ever seen in my lifetime.
		I've seen economies come and go.
		Nothing's been like this.
		Uh, but yeah, anytime he's like, even before the internet, anytime you start seeing some old guy trying to sell you gold, you know, the, well, we're about to go into a recession.
		Uh, and like the same thing is happening here, except the new gold is Bitcoin.
		And it might be a, I would recommend it, uh, or financial advice, no financial advice.
		I don't know anything.
		I used to own a comic store, but I keep a lot of cash in my safe.
		Um, that's where, that's what I do because I'm, I'm not really sure.
		I mean, I don't know how bad it's going to get.
		It's, this is the worst I've ever seen it.
		And the, since the shoe hasn't dropped yet, uh, and it's going to be, it's only a matter of time, really.
		Uh, I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think it's going to get worse than people realize.
		Demand is about to spike for Thanksgiving and Christmas and with already like constrained supply lines that could snap it.
		Totally.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Travel already, super expensive.
		And, you know, we talk about how the VAX mandates are really bad, but a lot of people aren't talking about how the Biden administration literally wants to pass a $3.5 trillion bill, which one of the provisions is a surveillance bill where the Biden administration will be literally looking at everyone's bank accounts to make sure that everyone's paying the IRS if they have over $600 in their bank accounts.
		I mean, this is a massive surveillance bill.
		This is a massive encroachment into people's personal liberties, people's personal freedoms, and they're going to be paying for this bill by taxing everyone over $600 when they print the money out of thin air?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Tax the poor!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's insane.
		It just seems cruel.
		It's more cruel than logical, in my opinion.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I completely agree.
		And nobody's talking about it.
		Like, nobody's upset about it.
		You should be very, very upset about this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Democrats in their bill, in their spending bill, want access to the income and outgoing money from your bank account if you have at least $600.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		And Nancy Pelosi and Janet Yellen are literally arguing saying this is going to get the billionaires guys.
		This is going to go after the billionaires.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Billionaires have accounts with 600 bucks.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		This is going to go after what they've been after the whole time.
		The middle class.
		They've always been after the middle class.
		When you hear tax the rich, it's tax the middle class.
		You can tax all the rich people you want.
		It's not going to make a difference.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		A lot of the multi-billionaire corporations, a lot of these super wealthy people call for more taxes, call for more regulations because it will destroy their competitors as of course they save their money in a lot of different safe havens.
		so as they're fine as you are literally paying every single dime every single penny which the irs knows exactly how much you owe you make a mistake they'll send you a bill right away saying no no no no no no we know exactly exactly how much you owe you you understand understated your taxes you know why not just tell people if you're going to be doing that anyway but but You're gonna have to pay every little last cent of this to go into a hole that literally is going into nowhere.
		Meanwhile, the multinational corporations get to do whatever they want.
		Play by a different set of rules as you're getting screwed every single day and your dollar that you worked hard for is being devalued right in front of your eyes.
		Inflation is a tax on your savings and holy cow are they taxing the crap out of you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But Bitcoin is a hedge against that.
		I'm not giving anybody advice, but I'll tell you this.
		I'm particularly happy with my purchase of Bitcoin over the past several years.
		I remember when it was at like $1,300 or whatever.
		It was several years ago.
		And I was thinking to myself like, like, dude, I just wish I would have bought when it was a couple hundred bucks.
		And then I was like, I'll just buy some now.
		I'll just put some of my savings into it.
		And boy, was that a good idea.
		And Luke and I were talking about the other day when I was like, Bitcoin's going to hit a million bucks.
		And then Luke was like, and then we're going to be thinking back to when it was at 60 and being like, why didn't we buy when it was at 60?
		And that was a joke I made.
		If you look at the trends, some people are projecting 200K in the next month or two.
		Yep, I think so. I do I do I don't know but if you look at the trends similar trends happening
		It should spike and Max Keiser also called it and he's been he's been within margin of like his predictions quite a bit
		I'll just put it this way man. I don't got advice anybody other than the US dollars becoming worthless
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you're $20 that way if they raise the minimum wage to like $20 an hour. It'll be worth 10
		Exactly.
		So yeah, that's just what you said.
		The dollar is worthless right now.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do you know the Big Mac Index, I think they call it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You ever hear that?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They gauge the strength of economy by a working class person's ability to buy a Big Mac, something like that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And so it's like, how many hours do you have to work to purchase a Big Mac?
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		And so they'll look at a bunch of countries, and for a lot of countries,
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		it's like you gotta work four or five hours to get one Big Mac, that's a bad economy.
		In the United States, it's like you can work for one hour and actually get two Big Macs.
		So it's a good economy.
		Right now, if a Big Mac costs five bucks, and you're getting 10 bucks an hour,
		you're getting two Big Macs an hour.
		But if they increase the minimum wage, what's really gonna happen is that Big Macs
		are gonna go up in cost, and you're still gonna be getting two Big Macs per hour.
		The amount of money you make is not relevant to the cost of the materials and the labor to produce the product.
		The left doesn't get it.
		There is one benefit, though, when it comes to imports, because raising the wages in the United States won't change imported goods from other countries, which maybe they're trying to do, hoping that, okay, the economy's collapsing, but what if, like, your computer was cheaper because everyone or not cheaper but you're making more money now you can afford to get it the computers are still going to get expensive but they're hoping they can like outpace the the imported goods as they outsource more and more of our manufacturing and products overseas
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		So this just sounds to me like we're giving more of our power to countries overseas.
		So that's not good, first of all.
		Second of all, I'm very glad that you guys' Bitcoin investment are going up.
		But at the same time, that terrifies me because it lets me know that everything that I'm earning and everything I'm doing trying to pay off my own debts, it's for nothing.
		The value of my dollar is falling.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, that's good.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Your debt's becoming worthless, too.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		That's great.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So it's like I was saying, so this is what the U.S.
		does, though.
		The U.S.
		purposefully inflates so that the debt they owe is worth less.
		So if 20 bucks can buy you two cheeseburgers and let's say I borrow 20 bucks from you to buy two cheeseburgers, I owe you the equivalent of two meals.
		I wait until inflation hits and the 20 bucks can only buy one cheeseburger.
		And then I only got to pay you back one when you gave me two.
		You see how that works?
		That's the trick.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		China is also implementing a very similar policy.
		They've been acting like they have blank checkbooks and they've been writing checks all over Africa, all over Latin America, and buying a lot of influence, buying a lot of resources, buying a lot of manufacturing, buying a lot of relationships that slowly and surely are overtaking the United States in their sphere of influence in those particular regions.
		So it's very interesting to see China implement the same role, but instead of just giving
		it to multinational corporations, they're using it to build their country to make sure that
		they have enough natural resources for their people as they are, of course, more of a nationalistic
		government.
		Meanwhile, our government keeps selling us out every single day.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
		And it gets rooted on by more than half the country every day.
		And that's the thing we have to fight is that influence and that that apathy or either root
		for one team or that apathy.
		And we see it all throughout our culture.
		And yeah, I worry about the future.
		I've got kids.
		I'm going to buy a house, you know, buying a house soon.
		I don't like, I have no idea what we're getting into.
		That's why I just, I think it's a good time to not give up, but like fortify your future, fortify your future if you can, by getting out of a city.
		But not everybody can.
		And the one thing I learned through COVID was I never paid attention to local elections.
		San Francisco is a waste of time, but that's something I'm going to pay attention to every day now.
		Every time, everywhere I move, I'm going to know who the dog catcher is.
		I'm going to know who everybody who lords over me is.
		I want to know everything about them.
		And that's where I can make the change.
		I don't know if it's going to work, but I want to know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I gotta show you guys what I think is one of the funniest stories I've seen in the economic collapse.
		This is from the Salt Lake Tribune.
		Shipping container apartments opening delayed by global shortages, developer says.
unidentified		Hilarious.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Okay, okay.
		This is hilarious.
		The cost of a shipping container is skyrocketing.
		The cost of transporting it is going way up.
		They tried to make low-income housing out of shipping containers, and now they can't open it.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Psych.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is like a firetruck on fire, isn't it?
		It's like the perfect definition of irony.
		I know.
		We'll use shipping containers to create large, cheap, you know, low-income housing, and now the shipping containers are spiking, so they can't even do that.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is the perfect economic collapse story.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I saw this, I couldn't, I just, wow.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I've been doing some research on them.
		They're expensive to transport, which is why they're not the best thing to do.
		And also, you don't know if they're going to be dirty or if they shipped toxic chemicals.
		There's no insulation.
		Once you insulate them on the inside, they become much smaller.
		They're only like eight and a half to nine and a half feet high anyway.
		Six feet wide.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		And that was in Salt Lake City, where it gets pretty cold.
unidentified		Look at this!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is crazy!
		Imagine living in that.
		Have you guys seen Ready Player One?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		It's a pod.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's how they live in the stacks.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's what it is!
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		That's exactly what it is.
		These are up in San Francisco.
		They have them functioning.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Look, I love the idea of getting a shipping container for yourself and burying it and having a little clubhouse or something.
		Or doing a tiny house.
		But this is the stacks.
		This is what we've been like...
		This is 1984 when the guy lives in that crappy little concrete cubicle.
		Welcome to your dystopian nightmare.
		You will own nothing and you will be happy.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		In California you can only get single-use containers, like one shipment version containers, but everywhere else apparently you can have like, they can transport, transport, transport, animal blood, you know, phosphorus, you don't know what's gonna be in it, what you're gonna be breathing in.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		So I would, at this point, recommend do not, at least go look into it, but it seems a lot worse than I thought it was.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I was just watching Ready Player One the other day, and then when I saw this I was like, oh man.
		It's like all the mobile homes are like stacked, you know?
		And people live in these really awful conditions.
		Well, this is what you're gonna get.
		I gotta be honest, these shipping containers are probably better living than New York bachelor apartments.
		Have you seen how bad New York is?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I've been there once, and it was, well, recently.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They've got apartments that are like, that's a closet.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And there's like, there's no bathroom.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You gotta share a bathroom.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I used to live in one of those.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It's the same as San Francisco then.
		So for a studio in San Francisco was $3,500 a month to $4,000 a month to rent.
		Why?
		That is a good question.
unidentified		Especially after, you know, before... How does someone afford to live there?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Uh, they, they go broke.
		They eat a lot of freaking cup of soup, making a hundred thousand dollars a year and pooping in the street.
		I have no idea.
		Well, they make a lot.
		There's a lot of money floating around that town.
		There was in 2019 best economy I've ever seen.
		Wow.
		Uh, the Trump economy, uh, in my lifetime, I, the, the amount of money that was going through Calif, uh, San Francisco in particular with the big tech, they're all centered there.
		Patreon's there, uh, uh, Twitter's there.
		I was in downtown.
unidentified		Yeah.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		And they and, you know, houses are expensive.
		There's always been money rolling through there and there's always a million people.
		This is before prior to covid.
		But there was a million people a day that would just travel into San Francisco.
		So the population doubled on every business day.
		And I, I, I've never been able to explain like a normal house.
		I don't know how a, a, a gardener lives in San Francisco and he must've bought his house 30 years ago.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Maybe it's like ten gardeners all sharing one studio.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Maybe?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And they all just like, sleep in bunk beds.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's like good amenities, um, nice weather.
		You probably know better than I do.
		And then you got the mountains to the north.
		Uh, in the east you have like, what's the city?
		You have the Sausalitos up north, but then you got like kind of suburbian, beautiful farmland to the east.
		You know, you got the 101, the PCH.
		So it's located in a nice spot, and the temperature's incredible.
		If you're down low in the hills, it's cooler, and then you go up and it gets really warm, like, up above when the sun's hitting you.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah!
		I've never loved city living, so I've never really gotten my head right why people would want to be that close to people, and I lived there for 18 years.
		Uh, and I, you know, I, I know you've lived in cities before.
		I don't know what attracted people to it originally.
		It's just, it sounds like the worst thing in the world.
		And, and I always think there is that for if you're in your twenties and thirties, I get it.
		Uh, as, as a family guy, I don't.
		You're not taking your kids to the Tenderloin in San Francisco.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I moved there in 2016 for a year.
		Paid $3,000 a month for a one-bedroom.
		And they were trying to sell me mushrooms on the street when I would walk around.
		That was something interesting.
		But other than that, I never left the house.
		My car got broken into the day I went down there to look for apartments.
		I had my backpack in my back seat.
		Came out and the window was shattered.
		It was gone.
		That was rough.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Strong start.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's it was terrible.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I think it's an illusion.
		I think a lot of people.
		I mean, like there's parts of it that were beautiful.
		There was parts of it that were nice and there were parts of it that were fun.
		But I think a lot of it is an illusion.
		People build this up.
		New York is this fabulous city.
		San Francisco, New York.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		New York smells like sour milk.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Pre-internet.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it does.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's all based on pre-internet living before you could get everything shipped to you at will.
		You could only find cool jewelry in the jewelry district in Manhattan.
		Now, you just order it online.
		They make it and send it to you from Japan or wherever, Malaysia.
		China.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		China?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		China.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Everybody had to say it.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		China.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I think, well, and then the mom and pop capitalism, which I love, is dead.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you sold your... So you had a comic shop in San Francisco?
unidentified		Yep.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		What was the whole process of starting it and then selling it?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it was, God, it was great.
		This was back in 2003 when I bought it.
		It was, hey, I want to buy your comic store.
		And the guy said, yeah.
		And we signed one piece of paper.
		Uh, and that was it.
		And you can't do that now.
		Um, and the landlord was cool.
		I got lucky.
		He was an old guy.
		He liked me and he gave me, he said a thousand bucks a month and he only raised it 25 bucks in 10 years.
		And he felt bad when he did it.
		You can't do that now.
		Once the heirs take over, uh, as time went on, the city got more intrusive to the point where, uh, they did a point of sale purchase tax through the food and health.
		I don't even know how they wanted to get into my taxes then that they wanted.
		So I just got rid of the point of sale purchase.
		I'm like, I don't have it anymore.
		So you can't tax me.
		And I was having to submit it.
		And it was a way for them to look at.
		And that's their way to sneaking in and looking at your taxes, the city.
		So they started doing more and more intrusive stuff like that.
		No more parking bikes everywhere.
		You can't you can't drive anywhere.
		Public transportation got more more expensive.
		Crime went up.
		My place got broken into a couple of times.
		They couldn't get in, but it got broken into.
		It was like regular.
		Front window's broken.
		Front door's broken.
		And it just got worse and worse and worse over time.
		So it did start out nice.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But you no longer have this comic shop.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No, I sold it.
		I sold it back in 2013.
		I'm happy I did.
		My wife owned a business in San Francisco for a two bit.
		Well, she had two salons and it went to one for 15 years.
		And she did great.
		She did fine, but she had to deal later on.
		It was, there's a homeless guy sleeping in the, in the front door every day.
		Uh, and, and then you can't just scoop them up and get rid of them.
		You can't call the cops.
		They won't come and get them anymore.
		San Francisco, if it's a, this was before the, they changed the $900.
		You can go and steal $900 with the stuff.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And they won't prosecute you?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		They will not prosecute you.
		20 years before that, if they broke into your car, they did something that was even short of being violent.
		You just went online and you filled out a form and they might come.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		My friend Kelly Cutler was working with the homeless up there and said that every morning at 4 a.m.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		they'll bring like a fire truck or something down the street and just fire hose the homeless people and make it so that they get off the street.
unidentified		What?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Are you serious?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		No.
		I mean, I've been to the water canyons before at protests.
		That's pretty severe.
		I doubt... I don't know.
		Let's look up the sources to that.
unidentified		Have you ever seen that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		In San Francisco, you said?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I haven't seen that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You've never seen that?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No, I've never seen him leave a street.
		It would have to be like Obama coming through or something like that.
		That was back in the day.
		But they are a constant force all the time, especially down on 6th and the Tenderloin, which I brought up.
		But it's spread out because they gave him cash.
		For the longest time, San Francisco gave them cash.
		That's how they're fighting drugs.
		They give them clean needles and cash money once a month.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to get in touch with Kelly and see if I can get her evidence on this because that's where I heard all about this from.
		And then I'll bring it on the show.
		Maybe we can talk about it next week.
		It was when I heard that they would be hosing the homeless because they couldn't get them to move otherwise without getting violent.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I forgot what they did when, this was a long time ago, but when Obama would go there quite often for a fundraiser and every time he came in they just bought him bus tickets.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like that South Park episode, you ever see it?
		Where all the homeless people come to South Park so then they get a bus and they get all the homeless people to go to Venice.
		That's what they do.
		Didn't Giuliani do that or something?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I think it was a concert or something.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, no, on South Park, they sing the song.
		They're like, in the city, city of Venice, right next to Matt's house.
		That was a funny line.
		I love that one.
unidentified		Because Matt Stone lives there.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		They've been doing that for a long time, giving them bus tickets to get out of there.
		They stopped doing it in California because they're like, it's great.
		It's great here.
		We get cash.
		We get needles.
		Why would we want to leave?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I worked for a homeless shelter in California and people don't understand what causes it.
		They just don't get it.
		And it's really, really frustrating when you have these bleeding heart types who are just like, why can't we just take a house and then put the homeless in it?
		And they do this thing where you'll see like high level progressive, like famous progressives be like, there are more empty homes in America than homeless people.
		And I'm like, Okay, and?
		That's a non sequitur.
		The reason that homeless people are homeless has nothing to do with an empty house.
		It has everything to do with many of these individuals choosing to be homeless.
		I hear a lot, they're like, mental illness is the cause of homelessness.
		It is.
		It is a cause.
		But my experience, the biggest cause that I experienced, was people saying, I want to be homeless.
		They enjoy living outside.
		They don't have to worry about much.
		People are giving them food and money.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Fresh air.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But it's not even that, it's like they don't care they're under a bridge.
		They don't care.
		You go to them and say, look, there are a lot of homeless people who are definitely in hard times who want to get out of that, right?
		Who want to find a place to live.
		But my experience, most of them were just like, I don't mind sleeping under a bridge.
		Why should I get a job?
		People give me free food all the time.
		So I go to sleep, wake up, walk around, get free food, go back to my bridge and go to sleep.
		How you solve for that, I honestly don't know.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		You can't.
		You can't.
		I mean, you've seen it, but there's three types of homeless people.
		There is the one who wants to be homeless.
		There is the mentally ill.
		And then there's drugs.
		Drugs is the vast majority.
		And ever since the opioid crisis, it's doubled, tripled, quadrupled.
		The amount of deaths in San Francisco eclipsed the amount of... I would say this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There are the legitimate trope of homelessness.
		That the left thinks someone down on their luck, hard times, loses their home.
		That exists, definitely.
		And there's a lot.
		A lot of people like that.
		I've met many people like that, but it was not the majority.
		It was like 1 in 10.
		And that may be generous, 1 in 10.
		Most people that we encountered would say something like, get away from me.
		I'm not going anywhere near your stupid shelter.
		I want to be homeless.
		They wouldn't say it specifically like, I want to be homeless.
		They would be like, I don't want to have anything to do with your garbage.
		And if they ever did come in, they'd come in for like clean clothes, a shower, and then leave right away.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they I don't know the exact story on this, but they during when everything was locked down, they gave they let homeless people in to a hotel or a couple hotels in San Francisco.
		There was a death in two weeks.
		There was fires inside.
		They were caught dealing drugs within a week.
		It was just a complete S show.
		I would love to find a solution to homelessness, but that means arresting homeless people.
		In Northern California, they announced that they would intern homeless people if they were deemed not mentally fit.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And the hotel is like wishing they hadn't done it, but I I would love to find a solution to homelessness, but that
		means arresting homeless people
		That in in Northern California, they announced that they would in turn homeless people if they were deemed not only
		said that yeah They would take their their paychecks or any money they had
		coming in and seize it and then lock them up That's the only like that's the simple solution
		Because I tell you this, when you go up to homeless people and say, here's a house, and they go, no, what do you do?
		Are you going to drag them into the house and lock them in?
		Because that's, you're going to have to, these people don't understand.
		These leftists are naive.
		They think everyone assumes the world, they think everyone thinks the way they do.
		They don't realize that people believe different things.
		They think every conservative is a grifter because how could you possibly believe that, say, Jesus is a son of God or something like that?
		I don't believe it, therefore they don't either, and they're lying.
		Or they're crazy.
		It's like, yo, you are not the arbiter of truth and morality.
		You don't know what you're talking about.
		This is what makes it so hard to actually solve these problems.
		The arrogance.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		And judging the world by their own standards all the time, uh, you're not going to save everybody.
		I mean, you know, what, what's that saying that the left sees the world for what they want to see out of the world and the right sees it for what it is.
		I don't know if it's a correct thing.
		I don't even know if I said that right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, you made it up if you did.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there you go.
		I mean, you're not going to save everybody.
		It doesn't mean you don't try, but as far as the homeless problem is, because it's not something you can throw money at.
		It's like the drug war.
		That was ridiculous.
		It's the same thing.
		You're going to have to fight the problem at home, and you're not going to... There's hobos.
unidentified		There's a whole culture of people... Do you know what hobo means?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know that hobo, vagrant, bum, vagabond, all different things.
		Vagabond's the obvious one.
		That's like a wanderer or a traveler.
		But I learned this.
		Hobo is a person who is looking for odd jobs and is just passing through.
		It means homeward bound.
unidentified		Oh, no.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Interesting. So I hope I know that when you'd see the cartoon of the guy with the stick with the thing in it
		It's because he's going back I guess the idea was people would go out looking for work
		and then when they failed they would start heading back taking odd jobs
		Along the way so they didn't have any place to live They didn't have a job, but they were looking for some work
		hobo and then bums I think were people who are like around the town not
		working vagrants were usually like unable or unwilling to like you
		know, it's like a typically a negative like layabout and And then vagabond was just somebody without any direction, just traveling around doing whatever.
		Interesting, huh?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I've been called that a couple times.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Vagabond?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that one's not really derogatory.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That one's just like you're a wanderer.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And again, you can only get hurt if you give power to words.
		I'm seeing another story on Twitter.
		I don't know if we're ready for a transition, but I'm seeing a pretty wild story that I definitely want to talk about, but we can still continue on the subject if you want.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, you want to give your final thoughts on the homelessness thing?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You didn't really chime in, but then I'll pull up whatever I'm talking about.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		A lot of people are like, let Gary speak!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		So I'm trying to, you know, give as much... Yeah, Luke!
unidentified		What are you doing?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I can't help myself sometimes.
		It's okay.
		But, you know, it's such a difficult problem.
		The government, in my opinion, is exacerbating it.
		It's making it that much worse.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Luke's homeless.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Pretty much.
		I don't like that word.
		I like home free.
		Home free sounds a lot better as I'm establishing my relations with homesteads all across the United States.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Building trade routes.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I'm getting a lot of emails.
		People have been like, yo, we have a freedom of stand here in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida.
		So thank you for your emails.
		I love being a vagabond.
		I love staying in parking lots.
		But that's a whole other story in my trailer and my RV.
		I like to act like a diva when I smash through the door and be like, I just got out of my trailer.
		But in reality, it's my travel trailer that I live in.
		But that doesn't matter.
		But again, the government is exacerbating this problem.
		I think a lot of it is lack of economic opportunity.
		I think a lot of it is mental illness.
		I think there's also a lot of other elements that we can't even quantify in words.
		But when you look at mental illness, when you look at lack of economic opportunity, that's everything that the government has been literally pushing for and creating along with big tech social media.
		So that problem is going to be exacerbated.
		It's only going to get that much worse.
		People are poorer.
		People are unhealthier.
		People are in a worse mental decline.
		And that is only getting more exacerbated the more government gets involved.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So, Luke, you mentioned that there was a big story on Twitter.
		I can't help but notice the number one trend is WWE SmackDown.
		Is that the story?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Is that it?
unidentified		No.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I saw Epstein trending, too, a couple hours ago.
		That's because Bill Clinton was in the hospital.
		And then Bill Gates' daughter is having a wedding.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, what's the story, huh?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		But this is something that kind of hits close to home with me because I'm seeing the frontline COVID-19 critical care organization, the FLCCC, just tweet out that their PayPal was suddenly shut down along with Facebook.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		restricting their account, and they're a group of medical professionals and doctors that are literally putting out protocols of medicines, of supplements, of medical studies that have helped a tremendous amount of people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They're very pro-mask.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they're frontline COVID-19 critical care workers.
		They're a lot of the doctors, and they just got attacked by multiple social media platforms, and I know a lot of people that they've personally helped.
		So to see this kind of attack on medical professionals, on doctors, on people who are quoting the data, the science, and actually going after the studies, to me is a very big deal, and another grave escalation in the censorship that's been happening.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Ryan Long has that sketch we've talked about where, I don't know, you've seen Ryan Long, right Gary?
unidentified		Yep, yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He has that sketch where he's like, all the experts agree, and then Danny walks in and he's like, I read the data and I came to a slightly different conclusion, and then he just punches him, and he's like, no!
		All the experts agree again.
		And that's how it's been for a long time.
		I mean, there have been a bunch of studies, I won't get into the details of some of the studies, I'll just keep it vague, that have been pulled down.
		Scientific reports on certain cultural issues that get deleted because they're offensive.
		You'll end up with, in this instance, I think the CNN story is a really, really good example.
		Sanjay Gupta sitting down with Joe Rogan, finally being forced to admit Joe Rogan was right, a doctor prescribed his medication, and then what happens?
		CNN doubles down on the lie.
		To see big tech going after, you know, doctors?
		Why?
		Look, man.
		I don't know what to say.
		What we've already said 50 billion times, and it just keeps happening.
		I'm not completely pessimistic because there's been, like, you know, just because something bad is happening now doesn't mean the world's gonna end, doesn't mean that it's completely over.
		There have been some games, like we were talking about Dave Chappelle getting defended by Netflix.
		It's a good thing, Netflix still kind of sucks.
		But I just don't know, man.
		You know...
		Bill Maher, you know, came out.
		He said he's not getting the booster, right?
		You've got Kyrie Irving coming out saying it's his body, his choice.
		He's got one life to live and one body to have.
		You've got Joe Rogan and his fight with Sanjay Gupta.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And you have massive amounts of protests all over the world that we're not hearing about, including one developing right now in Italy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, to be fair, from CNN.com, thousands protest as Italy's COVID pass becomes mandatory for workers.
		They say, anyone who is on a payroll in the public or private sector must have a green pass with a QR code as proof of either full vaccination, recent recovery from infection, or a negative test within the previous 48 hours.
		Employees who go to work without the pass risk a fine of up to 1,500 euros, $1,730, and suspension without pay.
		Employers could also face fines if they allow staff to work without it.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Wow!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's substantially worse than here in the U.S.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		And the way that they implemented this was really sinister because in Italy, talk of a COVID vaccine passport, it was first deemed a conspiracy theory.
		It's crazy.
		It's not going to happen here.
		And then they started to implement it with restaurants and indoor dining.
		Then they started to implement it with travel, trains, buses, planes.
		Can't get on any of those if you don't have the green pass.
		And now their latest rule here, this... I don't even want to say rule.
		Their latest decree here by the Italian government is that you can't work in there in the public sector or private sector if you don't have a green pass.
		If you don't have a QR code that says the government allows you to work.
		And if you do work, you get a fine of 1,500 euros.
		Um, and you need a vaccine to be compliant every six months with this quote green pass or a test every 48 hours, which is unfeasible.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		So what's the, I got a question.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		So what's the option if you say no to all this, uh, you're going to jail, you're getting fined till the thousand 500 euro fine for going to work and not having a green pass.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's the best part in the United States.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If you are fired because you didn't get vaccinated and there was a mandate, it's considered a voluntary resignation.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And in many states like New York, you lose unemployment benefits.
		So nurses that get kicked to the curb literally have to find another job right away to make sure that they could even pay the bills.
		So we're in phase two.
		Italy went through phase three and four.
		We're seeing a lot of countries implement the same policies only on different timelines, but they're doing the same thing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's coming.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Again, it's already here.
		Los Angeles has some of the most strictest COVID-19 vaccine passports that they're going to be implementing.
		CNN has been cheerleading it, saying it's awesome, it's great.
		You know, getting permission slips from the government for every basic activity is so awesome.
		You know, the same government that runs the DMV.
		Yeah, I definitely trust those people to have a domestic permission slip passport system.
		I mean, it's just ridiculous.
		It's It's insane and people are standing up to this.
		People are protesting in mass.
		I've been tweeting up photos that show huge amounts of people.
		There's also some fake photos.
		There's some disinformation going around, but I'm trying to confirm a lot of this.
		I have some people in Italy that I'm talking to, but now unions, dock workers are coming together and they're doing a quote, indefinite blockade of the ports in Italy With them saying, we're going to block this until you get rid of this domestic passport permission slip system.
		So it's going to be a very interesting showdown and clash that we're going to see unfold in Italy in just a few moments from now.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It needs to happen soon because as you guys know that once they implement this stuff, it doesn't get unimplemented.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It's done.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's expanded.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		There's no deadline.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		There's no deadline.
		They're not going to say, Hey, if everyone is free of COVID, we're going to get rid of this.
		Or if 90% or 80%, they usually do this.
		You can't tell someone to sacrifice for something that has no end to it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's why we're setting up free Dhamma stand.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Uh, there needs to be a free Dhamma stand in every state.
		Uh, and you're setting this up, uh, West Virginia?
		Yeah.
		Oh, that's brilliant.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's not like it's going to be an actual big city or anything, but we're going to have a lot of space.
		There's going to be a lot of, a big communal aspect to it where people can come and, you know, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're sorting it out.
		We're gonna be growing our own food.
		We're going to be doing a lot of sustainable living stuff.
		Ian's gonna build his free dome, geodesic dome.
		We're gonna try and do things in the most environmentally friendly and economically friendly way to be, like, self-sufficient.
		Because... Look, man, it's the Great Reset.
		It's coming, right?
		They want you to own nothing and be happy?
		Well, as long as you have some land and the ability to produce some of your own stuff, then you'll at least own some stuff.
		And if the supply chains are breaking down, what I'm really interested in is, you know, what can we make in Freedom Stand?
		What can we, what can we get out of the ground?
		What can we build ourselves?
		Luke's talking about trade routes and stuff.
		Can we get metals and things like that and then start doing construction or even like sourcing raw materials?
		Things like that.
		Ian's talking about pulling carbon from the air to make graphene.
		Maybe this sparks the graphene revolution because we can't get iron anymore.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		You can pull the carbon dioxide out of the air then deposit it onto like a copper palladium alloy at like a thousand degrees centigrade and it'll deposit graphene oxide.
		That's one way to do it.
		There's other methods too.
		You can take rubber trash and then hit it called flash graphene where you hit it with pulse it with lasers and then turn it into a fine layer of graphene that requires a lot of electricity.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And lasers.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		We need to figure out how to generate a lot of electricity.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Locally, like geothermal or something.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Giant hamster wheel.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Ian runs in it.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Little mini nuclear plant.
		It sounds much better in the chat, for sure.
		It does.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's solutions.
		If we just stare at the problem like this all day, every day, we're all going to go insane and then it's going to end.
		So we have to fix it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's funny.
		They set up the autonomous zone in these cities just by trying to steal land or whatever.
		They're colonizing.
		What do we do?
		We rightfully negotiate a treaty for settlement on this here land and then set up our autonomous zone.
		It's not an autonomous zone.
		We're just like a normal place with business.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No, it sounds like it's weird.
		We were talking earlier about things flipping.
		We're seeing people on the right, I don't know, I don't want to say too conservatively, thinking about communes and going on their own, which is good.
		You know, there's always been the preppers as well, to be fair.
		And I, you know, we have to do this soon.
		We have to think about these things soon.
		So one thing when I talk about it on my channel, I've been talking about it for a long time is, you know, nobody's going to come and save us.
		Like nobody's coming in.
		Trump ain't going to sweep in and fix everything, even if he wins in two years.
		The midterm elections might be a slap on the wrist.
		But, you know, right now they're all in on this.
		Most of the government is in on this.
		They're just playing their stupid game and they're resetting on us.
		And there's like, there's stuff I'd love to say, but I, I didn't want to say it, you know, on your channel, you know, when we were talking about earlier and I won't say it here.
		But until we decide we are going to end this, those rules, like I said, are implemented.
		They're implemented, they're not going away ever.
		And now this word mandate is just part of our language now, and we're completely cool with it.
		So we went from emergency provisions, mandating that people stay at home for a couple of weeks, to Gavin Newsom mandating what a business can sell on a toy aisle.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's why we chose West Virginia.
		You know, you could choose New Hampshire, Florida, Texas.
		I think Texas is too dense.
		And that means it's susceptible to, you know, leftist manipulations and things like that for a variety of reasons.
		What happens, we see this in West Virginia, where there will be like a gun range, a shooting range.
		And it's noisy.
		There actually is one not too far from here.
		It's a public land where people go shooting.
		You're not supposed to use it as a range apparently, but people do hunting training or something.
		All the neighbors can hear the gunshots all day every day, and they're fine with it.
		But liberals are starting to move in from D.C.
		because they want to get away from the nightmare they created and go to West Virginia where it's conservative.
		When they move in, they're told, when you buy this property, you sign this disclosure acknowledging there's a shooting range, you know, on the other side of the street, which presents some dangers, risks, and a noise issue.
		But you accept these things when you move in.
		And they say, yeah, no problem.
		Then they tell their friends to move in and say, once we get enough people, we can vote to shut down their range.
		And that's what's been happening.
		Things like that.
		There was like a farm, like a dairy farm, and it was stinky.
		And so people moved in and they were like, you acknowledge there's a farm here, the smell is, you know, something that people are concerned about, and they said, no problem.
		Once they sold all the land around it, the people voted and said, shut the farm down.
		And then all of a sudden you own this land and they're like, sorry, the cops come in and say, the people have spoken.
		And then you can't run your business anymore.
		That's what you got to watch out for.
		That's why I'm worried about, you know, Texas, because it's happening in West Virginia too.
		Now that's because West Virginia, people don't know this, is about an hour from DC.
		It's not that far away from DC.
		So, New Hampshire might be a good idea, but then New Hampshire is... I think New Hampshire, what it has going for it, is a free state project, which is protecting it and expanding the freedom.
		West Virginia has the inverse problem.
		They have a lot of people trying to come into the eastern part.
		That being said, though, West Virginia has lost a ton of liberals from the other more urban cities.
		So, I think West Virginia's a good bet.
		New Hampshire is probably, I think in the long term, we're actually looking at setting up shop
		in some capacity in New Hampshire. So maybe buying a small piece of land. That way we have a place to
		be in New Hampshire in the event the Free State Project becomes very prominent. Because as long
		as I've been talking to Luke nonstop, like New Hampshire is just a great place.
		Oh, Gary, you're blasphemy!
unidentified		That's a lie!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Blasphemy! I've been screaming about New Hampshire forever.
unidentified		I've been sending you property there a few weeks ago.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Luke sends me Zillow posts.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I was like, dude, this is good right here because there's already a freedom stand there.
		There's a great guy called Jay Noon.
		He could fix and build everything.
		He's been teaching me.
		pretty much doing man camp, which he does, and he helps people figure out how to get out of the cities and learn to
		actually be self-reliant.
		He's a great guy, Jay Noon, if you ever heard of him, great, awesome part of the Free State Project.
		But he has his own freedom, uh, freedomistan, um, in New Hampshire.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I want to build a forge.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		And, you know, there's a lot of freedom in New Hampshire and a lot of opportunity.
		So I love it there.
		I go there for the summers.
		Florida for the cold, cold winters.
		And of course, I'm here with you guys for the foreseeable future.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Texas is doing all right.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's really dense though.
unidentified		So far.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And you got that border problem, right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		These people flooding in through the border is a big risk to Texas in terms of maintaining, you know, their sovereignty.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, California was fine 20 years ago.
		California was fine like when I was growing up thinking about like San Diego was a right-wing military town and Los Angeles was pretty centrist.
		San Francisco was always weird, but it never ran the state.
		Now it runs the state and now we've seen what happened like Las Vegas.
		You know, they had these like crazy mask mandates and I was just like, God, you know, gangsters used to run this town.
		I was just there.
		I'm like, it's, oh, it's, it's so conforming.
		And it was kind of a turnoff.
		And then Arizona is the same way.
		So I, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if, uh, if Texas flips, if Florida flips, it just depends on what county you're in at this point.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So Texas and Florida are like teetering between left and right.
		Now there's been some big changes, like on the border, it went Republican, Miami went Republican.
		West Virginia is the second most Trump-supporting state in the country.
		And so I'm like, I like it.
		You know, New Hampshire is good, but I think in order to get a good space, you've got to be, like, you've got to be kind of far away from the urban center.
		Whereas here, we get West Virginia, we're in the tri-state area, but we're setting up free domicile in West Virginia, and it's like an hour and a half to the airport.
		So you still get a big urban center airport, not too far away, but not too close.
		We weighed a lot of options.
		I mean, I was looking at northern Maine.
		I was like, I'll take what I can get, but satellite internet ain't gonna, it's not gonna cut it.
		And bringing people out to the middle of nowhere is too difficult.
		We looked at rural Pennsylvania.
		That would have been awesome.
		I really wanted to like find like a dying town and bring industry back and just like get more jobs and stuff.
		But maybe we'll do that with the Ferdinand area and more people will find jobs and more industry will grow and we'll be investing continually in the space to build stuff and set up a business.
		Luke wants to have his own gun shop so...
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That would be fun.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And a training facility and growing our own food.
unidentified		Yeah.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Owning a shop was brilliant.
		It was the most freedom I've ever had.
		Well, except, you know, working on a YouTube channel.
		It's great being your own boss.
		That's the American dream, you know, and you don't need to be rich.
		I never made a ton of money at the comic store.
		I was so freaking happy for most of it.
		I'm happy now, except for the world falling apart around us.
		I'm happy.
		It's hard to work out in my head sometimes.
		But yeah, I guess the only problem I had about moving out of California was finding Internet.
		I mean, that was, you know, like you said, satellite Internet is not going to cut it.
		So I'm going to have to have it put in myself.
		Especially, yeah, like you have, you know, if you go too far out, there's no way you're going to get it.
		Uh, that's the only problem.
		Cause I would love to be out in the middle of nowhere, nowhere near a city would not even within a hundred miles, but that's not an option.
		Uh, right now, uh, there's still a ton of country.
		I mean, Texas is cheap.
		That's even now, like compared to, compared to California, everything's cheap.
unidentified		So, uh, Crazy prices, man, but how about we do this?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Super Chats!

		Tickets sold out basically instantly.
		However!
		for we so the initial plan was we were going to give a day's advance notice to members who gave $25 or more we're keeping it locked at that level because $25 members are still struggling to get access because of like the high demand but some people are canceling periodically and tickets are opening up so the best i can say is i apologize for the kind of chaotic nature of this we are going to be opening up an auction to members so that we'll have five auction slots where you can you know Choose how much you want to pay and then this was our compromise like we can have people who don't have time to like try and be there clicking the button every every few minutes but we can also you know some the people who have time to dedicate can get the ticket for free other people can just support us by doing the auction system and then we'll get people to come and help support the event and everything like that
		But people are canceling, sometimes.
		And I did see a Super Chat from one person who said they needed a ticket for their girlfriend.
		She was able to get one, so I'm glad to hear it.
		And if you send in emails, we will respond.
		We might be able to accommodate some people who got, you know, the short end of the stick due to how the system was operating.
		So we're gonna try and make sure we can do it to the best of our abilities, helping people out.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I gave out some tickets to my audiences, literally minutes gone.
		I was like, what?
		This is crazy.
		So, uh, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		People want to come hang out?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		We got to expand this, grow this, build this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh man.
		You know, we could do a stadium, like a stadium, but like a big auditorium, but then it's just more like, it's not the same thing.
		What we're planning on doing is it's not a, it's not a bar.
		It's, it's open to all ages.
		I think you have to be 18.
		I don't know.
		So it's not all ages, but it's like 18 and over.

unidentified		Nice.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Dan Vask says, George!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What's that about?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		That is an inside joke for my show.
		Too long.
		Sorry.
		But Dan Vask is great.

		He'll know.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Very cool.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Inside joke.
unidentified		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Captain says, Tim, you were right about the ports.
		The trucker problem isn't truckers, it's trucks.
		CA carb emission law doesn't allow any semi truck over three years old to operate at the ports.
		Look up opening the port of Los Angeles 24-7 isn't the game changer Biden claims.
		Interesting.
		PunkRockFox says, Tim, we did it yesterday.
		I was upset because I could not get my girlfriend a ticket.
		Guess what?
		We got it today.
		See you in West Virginia.
		I'll have my Mohawk up for you, buddy.
		Let's go, Brandon.
		Also, hi, Ian.
		We're all going to be there.
unidentified		Yep.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I'll look for Mohawk.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's going to be fun.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Let's go, Brandon.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I'm really excited to see Ryan Long perform.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We haven't really worked out any schedule for playing music, but I think Ian's going to be playing, right?
unidentified		Sure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Ian's going to play a set and rock out, and everyone's going to be super stoked.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we gotta do a couple songs together.
		I've got two that I've been working on.
		I'm practicing them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I wonder if I can do, like, one or two songs.
		I'm like, this is gonna be a lot of work.
		Events like this.
		People need to understand it's tough, you know?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
		I just did, like, a tiny event.
		It was very, very tiny compared to this, and it was a ton of work, but it was fun meeting everybody.
		It makes it more real.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Let's do an acoustic thing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'm thinking just acoustic.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But Ryan Long's a good drummer.
unidentified		Oh, there you go.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Got a whole band.
unidentified		Interesting.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		We can bring the digital kit.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Nathan O'Connell says the last time Netflix tried the woke stuff with cuties
		They lost seven billion dollars in value because everyone canceled their subscription
		They aren't siding with the woke anymore and they're not losing value over Chappelle. I don't think their stocks
		gonna go down over that They're gonna be like people like it, you know
unidentified		Chappelle's insanely popular I didn't know he had a special until the drama.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		They're terrible at promoting their specials, but I mean, they don't need to.
		With Chappelle, it would get around and within two weeks, everybody had seen it.
		And if it wasn't for Squid Game, it would be the most watched thing on there.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Emblazon64 says, Gary and Tim need you to discuss Falcon and the Winter Soldier series.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Haha, we did.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		We were talking about that before the show started.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, before the show, but not on the show.
		My general assessment was that it was not overly woke.
		It tried to be political, but kind of just didn't really get a strong message.
		But I liked how USAgent was, the media claimed that he was the embodiment of white supremacy and white male rage.
		But he turns out to be a redemption arc hero that is, like, made to look good.
		So, take that, media.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I totally, the writing was all over the place, and US Agent Cap was much better than, he was the best character in it.
		I thought he had the best character arc, but I thought it was filled with, I get into the weeds on this stuff, but intersectional feminism.
		I call it the MCU.
		And, uh, yeah, they it's a long story, but it goes back to Captain Marvel.
		And, you know, at the end, yeah, terrible movie, terrible movie.
		But at the end they had Falcon Falcon didn't even fight his own bad guy.
		Oh, I call her Freckle Jesus, but she came up and, uh, she got killed.
		Uh, she got killed by, by Carter, by Sharon Carter.
		So.
		Why are you not even fighting your own bad guy at the end?
		And people say, Oh, you're just nitpicking stuff.
		But no, if you watch the entire story, Falcon does, he deifies his villain, who is basically the head of Antifa.
		She's like a, you know, and he's like chewing out, uh, doing this, uh, you know, he's projecting right in front of three, uh, three politicians that just happened to be standing there that survived a plane crash.
		And his big suggestion or helicopter crashes do better at the end.
		That's what it is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know why I didn't like Captain Marvel?
		And I thought a lot about this.
		I watched a video comparing Captain America, the film, to the Captain Marvel film.
		And they're like, in Captain America, you have Steve Rogers.
		He's weak.
		He has no strength.
		But he has good moral character.
		He's willing to stand up for those and stand up for himself, even though he knows he'll lose.
		Here's a scene where he throws himself on top of a grenade, proving that even though he isn't, you know, strong physically, that he's a good person who's willing to do what he has to do.
		He's then granted power and then he has the strength to back up his ideals.
		Captain Marvel was always strong and her powers were locked away by a man.
		So in the Captain Marvel story she's mean, she's nasty, and in the end she doesn't have a redemption arc, she has a self-realization.
		I actually found her to be the villain.
		I found her to be very villainous.
		Not that the militaristic, you know, group that she was working with was good guys.
		No one has to be the good guy.
		But her whole arc is basically she's a bad person, she's a bad person, she's a bad person.
		Now she's strong and a bad person.
		And arrogant.
		And I was like, ugh.
		And then in Endgame...
		When I was in the theater, and she punched Thanos, the whole audience, the whole theater groaned.
		No joke.
		So, there's that scene where Thanos has the Infinity Gauntlet, he has everything!
		And then, or, yeah, he has almost everything.
		No, no, he does have them all, right?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		He has almost everything.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		When she comes down...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and then he's like pushing against her, and then she's holding his... he headbutts her and she doesn't flinch, and then everyone groaned.
		And then she grabs the... or no, he grabs the stone and punches her.
		People were like... I was laughing when I heard the groaning.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		People cheered when that happened in my theater.
		They cheered when she did it?
		When she got punched by Thanos, they were like, yes!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I was in rural Maryland when I saw Endgame.
		And so it must have been a conservative area.
		I was in a particularly conservative area.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Western Maryland?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Everyone groaned.
		I was laughing when I heard it.
		And then when all the women came down in that scene, the audience groaned again and I was laughing.
		I was like, I knew it!
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I'll point out again, Disney annihilated that series, The Infinity Gauntlet.
		They should have made The Infinity Gauntlet, and made it like they wrote it.
		Because it's amazing, and people die, and it's horrible to see your favorite hero get ripped apart by the Infinity Gems.
		It's just, that's what they needed more of.
		Not these invincible trash characters.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I liked, uh, did you watch What If?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Uh, yes, I did.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I thought it was kind of dejected.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like, it's clear people recorded their lines in passing.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like, as part of your contract, you're gonna do this movie, and then just read this line real quick into this microphone.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Okay, thank you.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		During a lunch hour.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right, exactly.
		But I really did like the finale.
		I liked, like, you know, the Watcher breaking his oath.
		Oh, spoilers.
		Sorry.
		I liked it.
		I didn't think it was that great, but I was entertained by it.
		I watched it.
		My favorite... I'll tell you this.
		The Doctor Strange one was wrong and I fixed it.
		Did you hear my rant on the Doctor Strange one?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No, I didn't.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		What happened?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So, you've seen it, right?
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Spoiler alert, everybody should have seen it by now.
		So Dr. Strange in this universe is, he's bringing, um, what's Janine?
		That's her name, right?
		No, what's, uh, what's the woman's name?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I'm blanking on, oh my god, this is bad for me too.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Janine, that doesn't sound right.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No, it's not.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Janine, why did I say Janine?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I'm not a nerd.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What's the name of the doctor?
		Palmer?
		Dr. Palmer, what's her first name?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It's Rachel McAdams.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I know the actress's name.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I can't think of the character's name.
		Oh my god. Christine. Christine. Why did I think Janine?
		Yeah. Anyway, okay. So anyway, in his, in this universe, well, I'm gonna start over.
		In the original movie, he's an arrogant prick. He invites her out. She says, I'm not going
		He's trying to pass somebody in a storm, crashes, his hands get crushed.
		He can no longer be a doctor, so he starts losing his mind because he's like, his whole life is destroyed.
		Eventually he finds the Mystic Arts and becomes a Sorcerer Supreme, and that loss drove him to becoming the hero that's helping save the planet.
		In the What If series, they're like, in this version of reality, he brings Christine with him, she dies, and in trying to learn about life and loss, finds the Mystic Hearts, becomes Sorcerer Supreme, but eventually decides to use the Time Stone to go back in time to save Christine, but he can't, because it's a fixed point in time that created him.
		If she doesn't die, he never becomes Sorcerer Supreme.
		You know what I thought was gonna happen?
		What I thought was going to happen was that when he's, like, you know, desperately trying to, like, bring her back to life, and the Watcher talks to him and says, you can't change a fixed point in time.
		It is the loss of Christine that drives you to become the Sorcerer Supreme.
		I thought he was going to go back in time and destroy his own hands on purpose, creating the timeline where his life was destroyed.
		And then what that does is it kind of sets in motion this loop into the original movie, Where you realize he didn't have to be crippled.
		That in the original timeline, he just lost Christine.
		But even though they didn't stay together, he was willing to sacrifice everything that made him who he was in order to allow her to live.
		And they didn't do it.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And it was kind of like, eh, whatever.
		And then there's like a weird thing where the ancient one like turns him into two Stevens or whatever.
		And I was like, yeah, whatever, man.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		And then it ends the same way anyway.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		My way was better!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I think so.
		I mean, I think they just wanted it to be a sad ending.
		I think that's pretty much it.
		And plus they stole something from Doctor Who having the fixed point in time.
		That's straight up a Doctor Who thing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I just, I gotta stress like how amazing it would have been if he's like to see the scene where he's like trying to save Christine and the universe is collapsing and the Watchers are like, it can't be done because the law strives you to become the Sorcerer Supreme.
		And then he's like, what if I gave up something else?
		That'd be cool.
		I'm totally lost.
		It's okay.
		I don't follow.
		of tremendous values like what if it was everything that made me who I am his hands and then he creates
		their own timeline so he basically punishes himself how awesome would that have been that'd
unidentified		be cool yeah anyway I'm totally lost yeah it's okay we gotta take advantage of them yeah go ahead
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		all right Cole uh Stuyvesant says Tim please talk about the globalists there you go
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's what Luke is here for.
unidentified		Yes.
unidentified		That's right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.

gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
		And it's porn in a way.
		Intellectual porn, maybe?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Better than that.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I hope.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I like how they're using the word fellowship.
		Gary has an awesome story of hope and success. I never would have made it through the last two years without Gary
		Comics division culture casino and many others in the fellowship. Thank you all
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Right on I like how they're using the word fellowship. I told people to stop using the word community
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Kami language Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Fellowship of the Ring.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We got so many super chats.
		This is from Sarah Stathatos.
		She says, George, exclamation point, exclamation point.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I'm not going to read all of them.
unidentified		She says, George, George, George.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		George is gonna love that.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		That is brilliant.
unidentified		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, there's a bunch of Super Chats saying the same thing.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		George is a supporter of my channel, has been for a long time, and every time he would give a big Super Chat, we'd just yell his name, and it became a thing afterwards.
unidentified		Nice.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Samuel Bonin says, Vax Mandate taking my job soon, but fear not.
		Although most of my time is taken up by OT, I've accumulated over 20 projects, books, and games that I can start building culture with.
		Wish me luck, or hire me.
		You can always send an email to pitches at TimCast.com, but I do have to admit, we are just like dramatically swamped.
unidentified		We get a lot.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, let's see.
		Furious Phil says, JC Tim, you have Nerdrotic, aka Gary, start asking him questions.
		Let's go.
		Unicorns do not crap ice cream and fart rainbows.
		They don't?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I thought they did.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Vaxcoon Kilrog says, Hail Gary!
		Hope you're enjoying Babylon 5 before the CW reboot come for it too.
		Is that true?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		Oh, Straczynski's writing it too, so they got the original creator, and it's still probably going to be... I know a lot of people have hope, but no.
		You can't go back home again, and even if the original creator comes back, they're going to capitulate, especially if it's on the CW.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Did you like Picard?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No, I hated Picard.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Really?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I hated it with a passion.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I couldn't stand it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Really?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Why?
		It was the Federation Apology Tour and they emasculated Picard throughout the entire series.
		It became about the girl who's the key to everything.
		Plus, Patrick Stewart just looked tired.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I mean, how old is he?
unidentified		He's 80 or what?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I mean, how old is he?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is he 80 or what?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's pushing 80.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I think he's going to be 79 and they shot two series back to back and they have him
		like running upstairs and freaking sword fighting and it was ridiculous.
		It was absurd.
		It was just another deconstruction of a traditional character which they have been doing over
		and over again.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I liked it.
		It wasn't the next generation.
		It was the next generation.
		It was the next generation.
		It was just kind of like, uh, you know, going to a reunion of friends and seeing Riker and Deanna and Picard and I was like, eh, you know, oh look, there they are again.
		I would love to see a continuation after Deep Space Nine and they haven't given us anything meaningful.
		It's just been reboot and prequel and I'm just like, so what happens?
		You know?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Well, they'll probably eventually get around to it.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		They've got like four other shows or three other shows coming out supposedly.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I guess the one reason I liked Picard is finally I'm like, they're showing us something after Deep Space Nine.
		Because that really bummed me out, that we get the Dominion War, and then it's like, let's go back in time and talk about stuff!
		No!
		What happened?
		This was big!
		The Cardassians!
		Come on!
		There are four lights!
unidentified		Oh!
unidentified		Come on!
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		But then they come back, and we don't see anybody we really recognize until later in the show.
		That was an afterthought, by the way.
		They didn't originally want to do that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Really?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like have Riker and everything?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that was an afterthought.
		They actually shot a different ending, and they CG.
		At the very end, I won't ruin the end.
		Well, it's terrible.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's a couple years now.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It's freaking terrible.
		And I still owe people a review on it.
		I think it's the last Jedi of Star Trek.
		I think it's the worst.
unidentified		Wow, I didn't think it was that bad.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I reviewed every episode.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I felt like I was having an aneurysm by the end of each episode.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, The Last Jedi is the worst piece of media, but have you heard my theory on this?
unidentified		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That Rian Johnson sabotaged Star Wars on purpose because our culture is stagnant.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Have you seen Knives Out?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I've seen Knives Out.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No, I hate it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Really?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I liked it.
		I liked it a lot.
		I thought it was great.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		People love it though, so I'll give them that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I did think it was a little preachy, but I thought he did politics well because he has that scene where the liberal, the leftist woman is arguing with the MAGA uncle, and I think it was decently an accurate portrayal of common opinions.
		The guy wasn't a racist Nazi.
		The woman was like your typical liberal.
		And they had, like, made real statements about it, which was funny.
		And then you had the young liberal daughter, who turns out to be a cutthroat, who's gonna sell out the girl, whatever.
		I thought it was good.
		When I saw that, Looper was good, but weird, and the story kinda didn't make sense.
		But I was like, it was fun.
		And then, when I saw The Last Jedi, I was like, there's no way this was an accident.
		He even says, Kylo Ren says, let the past die, kill it if you have to.
		And I was like, he did it on purpose!
		Because he's probably like, yo, all we do is reboot, remake, same thing over and over again, and he's sabotaged.
		That's my opinion.
		That's my bet.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Uh, you would have to sabotage to be that bad.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		You would have to try to suck that much, and I would say the same about Star Trek.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like, when the plasma's arcing in outer space, I'm like, dude, he was sitting there thinking, like, what can I do to make this as offensive and awful as possible?
		I want diehard fans to reject it.
		So when you see them firing the plasma and it's arcing in space, I'm like, he did that to piss off the diehard people who are gonna be like, what?
		How?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Or using hyperspace as a weapon.
		I mean, like, they never did that before, which changes the entire lore, which people care about.
		Like, that's the thing is people actually, right?
		I call him Rian Johnson.
		Rian Johnson doesn't care about Star Wars, and he made that pretty clear.
		He was happy with, you know, he's an artsy filmmaker.
		He likes to piss off half of his audience because he's cool.
		This is Star Wars.
		Just make people happy.
		But yes, they did go in there and deliberately deconstruct Luke.
		The symbolism of him drinking the blue milk out of a giant puppet.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Throwing the lightsaber away.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Puppet boob.
		Throwing the lightsaber away.
		Looking like the big Lebowski.
unidentified		Yeah, dude, Star Wars is done.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I complaining all the time getting his butt kicked by Ray for no reason whatsoever
		Not really training him and then you know, he ODs on the force. That's just like I hate Star Wars
		And I'm gonna do a movie now. It's ridiculous. Yeah, dude.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Star Wars is done. Yes, it's done Some of the games I guess what's what's the game they just
		did recently people like Knights of the Old Republic?
		No, no, the OG Knights of the Old Republic was amazing.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		And they have a writer coming in to screw that.
		Do you need that?
		I mean, you just said it's amazing.
		And I'm not the biggest gamer in the world, but you said it's amazing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Does it need to be changed?
		It was one of the best games I've ever played in my life.
		I was addicted.
		It was so good.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		They brought in a writer who One of the writers who likes to drink fake geek tears one of those type of people type of people who just hate the fandom That's part of the thing.
		I I kind of put it I kind of I defend the fandom once in a while They they get picked on a lot by creatives and stuff always have You know, but it's always been behind the scenes, but now since social media is around, they love saying things like toxic fandom or incels and all that, or you live in your mom's basement.
		It's like, I thought you were supposed to be for the nerds, about the nerds.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'll just put it this way.
		Uh, you know, I think we, we share a lot of opinions.
		A lot of people who are upset about the destruction of this content and, uh, the room we're in is anything but a mom's basement.
		We are well-mannered and developed adult individuals who enjoy entertainment of the sci-fi and fantasy nature, and it's being ruined by people who don't care about it, who have been handed the reins by big corporations.
		And I think that their goal is, they take a look at their market share, and they're like, we got too many dudes.
		How can we get more women involved?
		And they're like, what do women like?
		And then they just make some mashup garbage.
		It doesn't work.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Well, they bought, I mean, they bought Star Wars to bring more boys to Disney.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		That was the whole point of doing it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then they nuked it.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The sequels were just the worst garbage I've ever seen in my life.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		First of all, Force Awakens is a shot-for-shot remake of A New Hope.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then you get The Last Jedi, which is the worst film I've ever seen in my life.
		At least The Room is funny in how bad it was.
		It became a cult classic.
		And then I just love, oh, uh, the Emperor is not dead, actually, and the last Jedi didn't matter, and he's here.
		And my favorite part about it is he, like, he wants to be Rey.
		Like, the Emperor's like, I'm going to be a young woman.
		And then he's like, strike me down and I will possess your body.
		And then she goes, never!
		And then she strikes him down.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		And he kills himself.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, no, he becomes Rey.
unidentified		Like he said... Yeah, the way he set it up, you're right.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		He should have won at that point, and he didn't.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Or did he?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Who knows?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Maybe he transitioned.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He did.
		But that was the weird thing to me when he was like, I will take over your body.
		I'm like, that's really weird.
unidentified		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Emperor was trans the whole time, and that was the character arc.
		He wants to be a young woman.
		And then I guess he wins, though, because she kills him.
unidentified		Yep.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		And then kisses Kylo Ren.
unidentified		That was the Emperor the whole time was like, that Han Solo is kind of hot.
unidentified		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then you get, you know, Han Solo dies.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then he's like, well, he still has a son.
unidentified		Do it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Ugh, he looks him in the eyes.
		Do it.
		All right, all right.
		Uh, Falkenraise- Falkenizer says, Nerdrotic, Geeks and Gamers, and TimCast need to team up to make sci-fi content.
		We cannot depend on the entertainment industry to entertain us anymore, so we have to make our own entertainment.
		I'm down.
		Um, I've been saying before, we want- we want to do like a- a comics section, kind of like Shonen Jump, where we do like- like a few weekly releases of, uh, various serieses- uh, serieses?
		Series?
unidentified		Series.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So if you know people who have good story ideas and they want to just start cranking out weekly chapters or something, I'd be down for that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know if you guys are.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		There are hundreds of them out there.
		Hundreds.
		Hundreds.
		Thousands.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Gotta find the good one.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		You gotta find the good one though.
		So yeah, I mean, they send me stuff.
		If I saw something great, I'd send it your way.
		Make sure it's good.
		Yeah.
		Make sure it's really, really good.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I-I-I basically just... I think the comics are all regurgitated at this point.
		I'm not entertained by them.
		I used to love the Justice League so much.
		The stories were just big fan.
		And the X-Men when I was little.
		Now I'm all... I-I-I started to get into manga and anime.
		And now I just think they're doing a better job.
		My hero Academia.
		Academia does superheroes better than comics today.
		I mean, you got it.
		You got it.
		That's just it's kind of amazing.
		That's the case.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I wouldn't read manga or watch anime for the law.
		I mean, I like some of the anime, but manga I would not read.
		For one, it's reading backwards.
		I never I was I was an American comic book snob, but I people have sent it to me and I finally I'm into it now.
		Yeah.
		Death Notes.
		Good.
		I like Death Note a lot.
		I like Attack on Titan.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I haven't watched a whole lot of that.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Somebody sent me a bunch of One Piece, so I'm getting into that right now.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I haven't gotten into that.
		You know, the problem is it's so big.
		I'm kind of like, ugh.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		It's big.
		It's taken me a little while to even figure out what's going on.
		And then they finally sent me a Blu-ray of My Hero Academia, which my kid has been trying to get me to watch.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I like it. Yeah, I really like I think they do superhero so much better than yeah, it's original, you know and to see
		it's to see anime doing original Superhero stuff. I'm just like man
		Where are you at America?
		They gave it up.
		They had it.
		We created this stuff in the 50s, the Golden Age, all this stuff, these superheroes, and now it's just trash.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		One guy to do that again.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Japan is so far behind because, well, I mean, there are gay characters in there, but not everybody's gay.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		So once everybody's gay in manga, then they'll catch up to America.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's a lot of good stuff, you know?
		But I definitely would like to make some comics.
		You know, have some of that content, and maybe even make our own shows and stuff when we get to that point.
		There's a bunch of stuff that I... I haven't been watching a whole lot recently.
		But, um... Someone mentioned Eta Fruetta.
		Fruetta?
		I'm pronouncing it wrong, I don't know.
		It was a show I watched a big chunk of until I reached the... I watched every episode until the latest, and then I'm like, okay, I binged it, now I gotta wait for them to do more episodes.
		Black Clover, a lot of fun.
		I guess people don't like it.
		I thought it was cool.
		My Hero Academia, I thought was really great.
		Man, I used to read every single Naruto when it came out every Wednesday at the Scanlation every Wednesday for years.
		So I'd be totally down to make some fun new cultural content and do these comics.
		Did you see the Donald Trump and the Death Note one-shot?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They made a legitimate canon Death Note chapter with Donald Trump in it.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		No way.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so it's basically a kid gets the death note and decides to sell it to, and Donald Trump is like, America will give you, you know, $50 trillion, something like that.
		It's, it's, it's good.
		I thought it was great.
unidentified		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's see what we got.
		Spiderbro says, Hey guys, huge fan.
		And you're right.
		Me and my cousin tried to get breakfast at IHOP, Denny's and Waffle House.
		Both IHOP and Denny's were closed and Waffle House was only taking to-go orders because they only had two employees.
unidentified		Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's brutal, dude.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		This is stuff I have never seen.
		I mean, this is, uh, yeah, this is kind of the, the, the beginning, uh, the breaking down, you know, when you see the, the organized, uh, gangs going in and, you know, shoplifting out of Walgreens, I saw one guy, uh, oh, you might, I won't repeat his name here.
		He retweeted and saying, oh, well, you know, this is what you get when the chain markets come in and take over the mom and pops.
		He's not totally wrong, but this is happening to the mom-and-pops in San Francisco, too.
		They're just not videoing that.
		It's happening to them, too.
		That's society breaking down.
		That's the beginning.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Darth Meerkat says, I can't wait to play the Division IRL.
		Have you played The Division?
		It's about a pandemic that like wipes out a bunch of the cities and then you're in the in part one you're in New York and it's pretty cool to be in Manhattan and it's like an apocalypse and there's uh like rogue factions start taking over so firefighters start
		like they they actually take flamethrowers and become actual firemen
		and they're trying to purge that disease and it going crazy just killing anybody
		they're like it's too risky they're affected if regular gangs you have paramilitary groups
		it's fun is fun game and then in uh... it's part two that you're in dc
		and it's like you're in the white house and it's abandoned
		yeah fun game fun game plus you get real guns
		like the guns are all based off of real guns so it's it's you know it's fun
		All right.
		Sarah Stathatos says, George, George, George, George, George, George, George.
		Thank you for the big super chats to say George.
		Dragon Balls Deep says, Tim, given all the gun stuff y'all do, you must get in contact with Mike Glover of FCS.
		He's the real deal.
		Also, I want to see Dave Smith versus Vosh debate.
		Love the show.
		Shout out to Ian.
		I'd totally be down to host Dave and Vosh, that'd be fantastic.
		But I feel like, you know, is Vosh the only one willing to actually sit down and express himself?
		You know, his ideas?
		He does a good job of giving his ideas.
		A lot of people think he's wrong, but I can respect that.
		If he wants to come and speak and be wrong, that's a great thing.
		But I don't think he's completely wrong.
		I think we agree with him on a lot of stuff.
		I think there's, yeah, there's just like core issues we clearly don't agree with.
		I think most Americans, regardless of your beliefs, agree on like an overwhelming majority of things.
		But, it'd be nice to get someone else on the left to actually want to come and have these conversations.
		The problem is, There's two kinds of people on the left who want to come on the show outside of Vosh.
		Either people who are small and don't have big channels, can't really articulate the thoughts as well, and are just trying to get some kind of, you know, notoriety.
		And people who are grifters who want to come on and do stupid things to make a scene and then get us in trouble and then make viral content for themselves.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		We should have Andrew Yang on.
		He sent us a gift.
		He sent a book.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He did, but it came with like a generic print instead of like a signature.
unidentified		Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You can sign the books and just go like this.
unidentified		That's cool.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		He sent us a book.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		He should probably come on.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		He's probably a PR person.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		He's not on the left, but he's kind of like can represent that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He quit the Democratic Party.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's pretty big.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		The forward party.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, the forward party.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Oh, he did, huh?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		We tried to have him on a while ago, and he said he would try to do it, but then he got way too big way too fast, because I was a big fan.
		I donated the Max to Yang.
		In the early days, I was like, this dude has got a huge list of comprehensive policies, and he's right about a lot of it.
		He worked for CNN.
		moderate and he actually looked at it he looked at tons of different areas where
		he thought he had ideas and then he just kind of just started playing ball with
		the Democratic Party trying to get support and I was like yeah I heard he
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		worked for CNN I would love to talk to him and I have a different point of view
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		than Tim yeah Scott Anderson says Luke 1,000 yards forever What's the current rate for 50 BMG?
		Got a story for you, Tim.
		What is the best way to get to one of your reporters?
		I think it's what, tips at TimCast.com?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Probably.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Info.
		I have no idea.
		You can email pitches at TimCast.com.
		We're really trying to, you know, we got to get to that point.
		I try to let you guys know, like, a lot of the stuff that we're doing outside of the show is, like, we're investing in.
		Like, doing new shows, like, it's not easy to just make a show and then try and make money doing it, you know?
		So we're really hoping that other shows can become, you know, new ways to get new people to be involved and things like that.
		But we're working.
		We're growing.
		All right, let's read a couple more just because we did talk quite a bit.
		Jerry Latt says, Hey Tim, 10 years working maintenance on metal container closing machines.
		The information on this process at times can be esoteric.
		I imagine it could be useful to your future endeavors.
		I'm willing to give advice and help you choose that path to work on metal container closing machines.
		Maybe for Freedomistan, we could use something like that.
		We do have a nice little hill, and I was like, we could get three shipping containers and just bury them, and then have three little dorm hangout places, or make them stores.
		I would love to have a little western town, with a sheriff and a general store.
		That'd be cool.
		Freedomistan.
		Alright, we'll just do a couple more here.
		Alright, let's see.
		I don't know what that means, so I can't read it.
		R. Barrett says, let's talk about some Bond R.I.P.
		or how they are systematically killing strong male characters like He-Man, Bond, Indiana Jones, etc.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yes, that's what I was talking about with Luke Skywalker.
		That was the beginning, the beginning.
		It started a little before The Last Jedi, everything that's going on, but it's very deliberate and it's I guess it's only deliberate to like hardcore nerds who like not only just pay attention to Star Wars, they pay attention to the whole realm.
		So Uh, when they see something similar happening to Picard, and to James Bond, and to Luke Skywalker, and to Captain America, and to Iron Man, they tend to start thinking that there's something nefarious going on.
		And there is.
		There is.
		There's a...
		Since the Time's Up, Me Too Time's Up little moment in Hollywood after Harvey Weinstein, it was a huge power shift.
		And what they decided to stop doing is they started writing Basically, Marxist PowerPoints.
		And it sounds insane.
		It does.
		It absolutely does.
		Until you see the paperwork.
		Until you see that not only just BLM, but it sounds like it's from BLM.
		You have the Roddenberry Foundation that's owned by Roddenberry's kid, his heir.
		And there's a ton of money in there, and it's supposed to be a workshop for writers, Gene Roddenberry, and they made up some paperwork basically on what you can and can't write in Hollywood anymore.
		And you can't write.
		I mean, some of the stuff actually sounds like it's sure it makes sense because it's not the 50s anymore, but some of it is nuts.
		They tell you how you can write.
		I hand a capable person.
		and how you can't write.
		They can no longer be the person who overcomes their handicap.
		You cannot write that anymore.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They revel in it, I guess?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's supposed to be bad.
		It's a bad stereotype.
		So anything that perpetuates a stereotype is gone from Hollywood.
		You can't show a woman or a man mentoring a woman in any way, shape or form anymore.
		A woman can mentor a man, but you cannot portray a man mentoring a woman.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Can we, do you have a list of these rules?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I can send them to you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Why don't we make a short film that violates every rule?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		That'd be brilliant.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A handicapped man who really wants to mentor a woman, but he overcomes his handicap to become the best mentor she's ever had.
unidentified		Yes.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I would love that.
		Woke, everything woke.
		I mean, it's so, it's so ripe for being made fun of.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's great.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I mean, Saturday Night Live rating, if they were good and they haven't been for decades, if they made fun of woke culture would be the most watched thing on broadcast TV.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We have had requests of doing, like, sketch comedy stuff.
		So we could certainly start doing stuff like that.
		That'd be fun.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		I think that'd be a great idea, because there's, like, low-hanging fruit everywhere with... I mean, Ryan Long nails it.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He nails it consistently.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We should totally be doing similar stuff.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Check out Ryan Long.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Have you seen Kyle Dunnigan?
unidentified		Yeah, he's great with Star Trek.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		What are those episodes called?
		Blarp Trek?
		No.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Star Boat?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there you go.
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Star Boat.
		They were originally called something else, but it's not good for the show.
		He also does the best Biden impression I've ever seen.
		There's a quick skit where Biden sees himself in the mirror and it confuses him.
		Even if they're not that good.
		Yeah, Kyle Dunnigan's genius.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think, you know, we've got a couple shows in the works that are like tentative, but
		I think we should start doing sketches.
		Even if we just start with like once a week and then they get something rolling, that
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		would be hilarious.
		Even if they're not that good.
		I mean, we used to do them back in the day.
		Right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Actually, we're good.
		They were good.
		They were just amateurishly produced, but it was funny when Luke was vomiting and then in the bathroom farting his brains out.
		We had a lot of fun with that.
		That was great.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		We did a couple of those.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		We did another one that never aired when we were testing less lethal munitions on each other.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That wasn't a skit, though.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That was just us getting tear gassed in a garage.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that was pretty funny, though.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That was hilarious.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, everybody.
		If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends.
		And we should have an episode of The Green Room in the members section.
		So if you go to TimCast.com and you click Members Only, you'll now actually start seeing different shows emerging because we want to be better than Netflix.
		We are going to build an independent streaming service.
		We've got Tales from the Inverted World.
		Just getting the ball rolling on this one, guys.
		The next episode that's coming up Sunday morning is a true crime mystery about the Irish mafia and a murder.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		So cool.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We've also got Shane, the host and the writer, he's going down to Georgia looking up old Confederate Civil War ghost stories, trying to track down old Confederate gold, and all these crazy stories are going to be awesome.
		And we're going to have a huge arc of these creepy, it's just going to be fantastic.
		And we're going to have members-only content from that, exploring the stories around it and having these conversations.
		So we're definitely trying to do a lot.
		Right now, it's like podcast.
		It's relatively low budget to produce.
		It is kind of expensive to bring out guests, but we don't need a million dollars to make an episode like, you know, Game of Thrones, which required, I think it was like four million or something.
		So, was it four million?
gary buechler ▲ ● ▼		Four to ten.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Four to ten.
		So we don't have that!
		But there are a lot of shows that we really do want to do, so maybe we'll get to that point if we get more and more members, we'll be able to fund our own shows.
		And then just think, in five years, we'll have a big library of content.
		We'll have comics and books and music, and it'll all just tell these weird, woke, you know, losers to, like, screw off.
		We're doing our own thing.
		So thank you all for supporting the show.
		Again, smash that Like button.
