tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
		On one of his most recent episodes of his show with Tim Dillon, he said he didn't even think he could get into the country.
		Now, this was initially reported by a lot of people that Joe Rogan was considering canceling the show, but I think people don't understand that sometimes there's a delay between when Joe records and when he uploads.
		Like, a lot of people were saying, like, Tim, you went on Joe's show when you were in Austin, and the show didn't come out until you were already back in West Virginia.
		But our journalists did something very simple.
		They did journalism.
		And they checked the Ticketmaster website, which confirms the event organizer has canceled the event.
		You will automatically get a refund.
		And based on what Joe had said on his show, it's vaccine mandates, man.
		And so, tremendous respect for Joe.
		It may be an issue of function.
		Instead of perhaps politics or principle, just in that he couldn't even go to Canada because of the vaccine mandates.
		So we've got that.
		We've got Fauci.
		He's saying that we should have vaccine mandates for domestic air travel.
		He's telling people not to celebrate New Year's.
		And we are in this limbo period between Christmas and New Year's where nobody wants to work.
		It's amazing.
		Just all today, everyone's like, is anything even happening?
		We don't want anything to happen.
		So, you know, I guess people don't want to talk about it, but I will say there's a statement from Joe Biden.
		It's very important.
		He basically gave up.
		He said, there's no federal solution to COVID.
		And instantly many people on the left started tweeting outrage.
		Like this is the guy who said he was going to end this.
		And now he's saying, there's nothing I can do about it.
		The state's got to solve it.
		And that means a lot coming from a guy who was blaming Trump.
		So we got a lot to talk about.
		We got to talk about hospitals and Omicron.
		We got Airbnb saying they're going to crack down and investigate.
		What's the right word?
		Um, violations of their terms for people who engage in New Year's Eve parties or something like this.
		Like Airbnb is not going to let you have a New Year's Eve party because of COVID.
		This is getting crazy, man.
		But joining us to talk about all of this today is Mark Loebleiner.
		How's it going, man?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Man, it's an honor to be here, Tim.
		I'll tell you what, what a beautiful compound you have here.
		Got skate parks, got chickens.
		Like, this is like every West Virginians dream.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Skate park?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Maybe not that.
		Maybe not.
		But the chickens and the compound and the do not enter signs.
		I had a great time just driving in here, man.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We had a lot of those.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Period.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do not enter signs.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it's great.
		It's great.
		Loved it.
		Loved it.
		But thank you so much for having me on.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You want to explain a little bit about who you are, what you do?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		So I'm the CEO of a nutrition company called MTS Nutrition.
		Chief Marketing Officer of a nutritional supplement company website called tigerfitness.com, creator of the OutRight Bar, which I think you see right behind me right there, and I have a company called the Ambrosia Collective, also 015 Nutrition.
		I own alongside Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry, Pump Chasers.
		I do a few things.
		I also do online coaching.
		I'm the head strength coach for Ravenwood High School Wrestling in Brentwood, Tennessee.
		So I keep busy and I keep really busy and you know at the end of the day, You know, I love my country and I'm here to, you know, basically make my country great.
		Whether that's through business, whether that's through educating kids, that's what I'm here for.
		So I'm very happy to be here to talk to you.
unidentified		Right on, man.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Appreciate it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We got Luke chillin'.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Mark, thanks for coming.
		Before starting, I want to address the treachery and blasphemy that was committed on this show when I couldn't be here by Mr. Goldman.
		And I just wanted to state for the record that I disliked Jack Murphy way before it was cool.
		And Jack was lying.
		There wasn't a fight before the show.
		That was not true, but there will be.
		And if you want to finance my fight camp, you can by going to thebestpoliticalshirts.com and buying t-shirts like the one I'm wearing right now, depicting, of course, Dr. Evil, Mr. Gates, and mini-me, Dr. Fauci, saying, just two more weeks to slow the spread.
		And you can get that shirt.
		Support me.
		Mark, are you going to be on my fight camp?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh, absolutely.
		What is the fight camp?
		But I would love to fight.
		Who are we fighting?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Jack Murphy.
unidentified		I want to make sure everyone's clarified.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Luke's got these professional martial arts trainers doing like a real training.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Luke's a little off the cuff with it.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		A little bit, but he said, Jack Murphy came here, said there was a fight that he took me out and therefore I wasn't on the show.
		That's clearly not true.
		Hashtag Sydney Watson's life matters.
		There will be a fight and watch out, Jack.
		We got Mark here.
		Who's going to be my strength and conditioning coach here.
		And it's only a matter of time.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Look at you some muscle.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		We got, yeah, we got you.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		We got you.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We got Lydia.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I am also here in the corner.
		I'm very glad to be back from our Christmas vacation.
		We had a blast.
		Enjoyed getting out and traveling a little bit in defiance of Dr. Fauci and all these other people trying to tell us what to do.
		Really looking forward to New Year's Eve.
		I'm definitely going to be celebrating then too, so haha.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But Christmas vacation is not over for one Ian Crossland.
unidentified		That's right!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's not here.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Traitor!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Ian is out for the holidays, and he'll be returning next week.

		Seriously, you're going, it's New Year's, you're going to be surrounded by all of your loved ones, and you are going to be like, you guys need to watch the TimCast IRL podcast, and then the arguments will begin, and you'll accuse each other of being a libtard, and an alt-right, and whatever, but you can be like Tim, I'm kidding.
		But yeah, shout out the show if you really do like the show, and let's get into that first big story.
		This one I think is actually very amazing.
		From TimCast.com, Joe Rogan sold out Vancouver's show cancelled due to vaccine mandates.
		Quote, I don't even think I can get into the country, Rogan said.
		Comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan said his sold out April show in Canada is unlikely to take place because of the vaccine mandates.
		Now I'll tell you something, when I first saw this clip from Joe on his show where he was like, I don't think we can do the show, I was immediately like, whoa, whoa, is anybody writing this up?
		Are there more details on this?
		So I sent it to our newsroom, which is supported by members at TimCast.com, and I was like, can you guys look into this, pull it up?
		And they write this story, Joe Rogan sold out, Vancouver show canceled.
		I immediately was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, guys, guys, he didn't cancel the show.
		He's saying he might cancel.
		And they were like, no, no, Tim, don't worry.
		We fact checked it.
		It's true.
		From Ticketmaster.ca, event cancelled.
		Unfortunately, the event organizer has had to cancel your event.
		No action is required to obtain a refund.
		It will be processed to the original method of payment, yadda yadda, they go on, and that's it.
		Joe Rogan goes on his show, says he doesn't think he can do the show, and then we get confirmation from Ticketmaster the show is cancelled.
		Good on Joe Rogan.
		Good for him.
		I don't know if he actually cancelled the show out of principle.
		It may just be function, like he literally can't get into Canada, so you can't have the show.
		But I think people need to start realizing this.
		I was having a conversation with some friends and family.
		If you keep enabling these lunatics, they will keep pushing until you say no, and make them understand there will be consequences for this.
		So this stadium, this city, you're gonna lose all of that money from one of the most famous comedians in the world.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I don't know if Joe had a choice here because Canada is not allowing anyone who's not vaccinated into their country.
		So there's a lot of other people like Jim Brewer who had to cancel their shows because they clearly just weren't allowed to be in Canada at all.
		And that is absolutely ridiculous.
		Joe Rogan has antibodies.
		He went through coronavirus.
		He got on the other side.
		He, of course, used alternatives.
		He didn't take the vaccine, but he clearly has antibodies within him that Prevent him from getting sick from the basic understanding of it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Isn't this the goal of the vaccine?
		Someone said this to me.
		They were like, the goal of the vaccine is to trigger an immune response in your body so it produces antibodies, right?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So if you have the antibodies, it's effective.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like, what's the difference?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Well, it clearly has something to do more with just protecting people's health.
		And there's something larger at play.
		I'm not pretending to know what that is.
		But the thing we need to look at now is not why he canceled it, but the fact that it got canceled.
		And suppliers need to cut off companies or countries or venues that literally take away people's personal freedom to make a choice on whether they want to take this medical procedure or not.
		That's the key.
		By Joe Rogan doing this, it sends a message directly to their pocketbooks, directly to their ability to generate income.
		And at the end of the day, money is what solves this.
		And that's how we solve this is we cut off the supply.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think a lot of people will think about this in the sense like Joe Rogan's rich, right?
		So they're like, okay, he's canceling a show.
		How much will this one show impact the bottom, you know, his bottom line?
		But I think the bigger thing is there's probably, I mean, I think it's fair to say tons of smaller shows that got canceled and wiped out.
		We learn all about the small businesses that were shut down in the lockdowns.
		Now with vaccine mandates, we've seen all of these reports from various cities about how their business drops by like 30%.
		What you're not going to hear in the news is small-time comedian who packs, you know, maybe 50 people into a room, unlike Joe Rogan who sells out a stadium.
		You get one small comedian who travels around doing these comedy shows, opening acts, and his career is done.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's no more income, there's no more show, and it's whether they want to do it or not.
		But like I was just saying, There needs to be consequences.
		The problem is, if this stuff keeps happening, then our culture is being ripped apart.
		No comedy show from Joe Rogan.
		Joe Rogan's literally the guy who goes up there and rags on all this stuff.
		So if he's not doing this, then people aren't hearing it.
		They're getting their opinions filtered through social media.
		It's a tricky problem, man.
		I think there's probably a lot of people involved with these shows, because you need to understand, people need to understand, this is not just like Joe shows up and a show happens.
		I mean, you've got crew, you've got vendors, you've got marketing companies, you've got the stadium, you've got insurance.
		This is probably going to be millions upon millions, maybe seven or eight figures in terms of revenue going into this.
		Now gone.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and it's the government and this yeah all nonsensical non-scientific policies even the UK government did a study
		saying Vaccine mandates don't actually help anything here
		They do promote people to get the vaccine which is their all-end-all belief system here
		But but as we know here the data is still very early There's still a lot of conflicting information.
		We don't know exactly what's going on here, but to close off from business, to close off from individuals, to restrict people's ability to travel based on this notion that we still haven't figured out, that we still don't know the consequences of, is ridiculous.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is the problem of people complying.
		This is the problem of all these experts, these Democrats or otherwise, who are telling everybody you have to abide by these restrictions, but then are caught not abiding by them.
		Which clearly shows, you wanna call me a hypocrite, fine, but these, you know, Gretchen Whitmer is at a bar, Gavin Newsom's at a restaurant, Nancy Pelosi's getting her hair done, they're not scared at all.
		Whatever it is they do, whatever it is they know, they're not scared of this.
		Now, I don't know, but if your attitude is, I'm gonna pass all these rules, And then we're going to ignore them.
		You're sending a huge message to people not to take this seriously.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		But are people listening to the message?
		You still got, it appears to be a large percentage of the population who listen to Fauci, who listen to Pelosi, who listen to Biden, who clearly look down on them as peasants and do exactly the opposite of what they tell us to do.
		So the question is, when are these people going to wake up?
		When are they going to be like, hey, how come Biden's walking around and the servers are one way and he's the other way?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		When they can't get their pizza, when they can't go to their comedy show, when they're now being confronted, like in Chicago, they're doing the vaccine mandate on the 3rd.
		I talked to a lot of people in Chicago who are like, all of a sudden, hey man, what's this?
		You know, I did everything.
		I was told that everything right now they're going to do more mandates.
		Well, that's right.
		Did you think you could comply your way out of tyranny?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Well, it goes from the actual, like, shots.
		Went from, okay, you get two and you're done.
		Now it's like, nah, you need three.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Israel, I think, did four, right?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They're already implementing the fourth shot.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Israel's going to be up to 10 by the end of the year, and it's the friggin' 27th.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What was that ad?
		There was like a billboard that was going viral.
		I haven't fact-checked this, but it's like an ad that says your COVID vaccine is like a battery, it needs to be recharged.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It was in the United Kingdom that released it, and it literally said you've got to take the booster to make sure you have immunity.
		And that makes no sense!
		But that destroys the definition of vaccine.
		That's not a vaccine.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, hold on.
		Tons of vaccines have boosters.
		Like when I got yellow fever, I had to get a booster after six months.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		But so quickly?
		I mean, we're talking about how long do you have to get a booster between that?
		Six months.
		With the other one?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yellow fever.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Okay, then I was wrong on that one.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm like, look, I think the bigger issue is policy.
		It's that they promised us, people abided by this, and then the terms change.
		It's literally Darth Vader being like, the terms of the deal have changed, pray I don't alter them further.
		It's like, at this point you're going to, I know you're going to, so now people are losing all faith, they're losing faith in any... Look, it's almost annoying to even bring up, because we've all lost faith in this.
		Joe Biden coming out and being like, you need to get vaccinated now because there's a winter of death and suffering.
		And I'm like, bro, your words are meaningless to me.
		Completely meaningless.
		You can say it over and over again.
		Every single person can come out and say the exact same thing.
		Yo, we're well beyond the point where those words have any meaning.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And what's happening now, the point that I should have made here is that it's the exact opposite of what they promised it would be.
		They never said from the beginning, hey, this is going to be temporary.
		It's going to wane.
		You're going to need to do this every couple of months.
		They never said that.
		They said, one and done.
		That's it.
		You're fine here.
		Just take this.
		Everything will go back to normal.
		It clearly hasn't.
		It clearly hasn't worked.
		A lot of people that I talk to, I talked to a lot of people in New York City over the last few days.
		They're disenfranchised.
		They're confused.
		They're like, they don't know what to believe anymore.
		But I think the sentiment nationally is that people are kind of sick of it.
		They're sick of the fear mongering.
		And they have been essentially told almost every single day, they're going to die.
		They're going to die unless they comply.
		And a lot of them have been complying, but we're reaching a point where a lot of them are like looking around being like, what's the point?
		Like, why should I?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm completely burned out on all of this stuff.
		I got COVID.
		It was the worst sickness I ever got.
		I say that a lot.
		It was bad.
		I genuinely thought I was about to go to the hospital and then I got the monoclonal antibodies and all that stuff.
		I actually had medical intervention on this.
		It's bad.
		But I want to live.
		I want to, you know, out here where we are.
		We go to the movies.
		It's totally fine.
		I was in Chicago and they have a citywide mask mandate and half the people aren't even abiding by it.
		Not a single person ever told me I had to wear a mask or whatever.
		It just doesn't make sense.
		I walk into a restaurant and I'm like, do I really got to put this on for literally five seconds because my table is right there?
		And then you sit down and take it off.
		I'm like, what are we doing with this?
		Like, I understand if you want to say there should be a mask mandate because it slows the spread, well then everyone should be wearing their masks the entire time they're in the building.
		But they're not doing it.
		No one's doing it.
		It's not being taken seriously.
		Now they're like, okay, we're going to do a vaccine mandate for the city then?
		Then what's going to happen?
		People aren't going to abide by it.
		We're just good, I guess.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		We never did it right.
		Like there are specific protocols for how you use masks.
		You touch it, you throw it away.
		Once you touch it, it's gone.
		If they were serious, if this was serious, if masks, am I allowed to say masks work?
		If masks actually did what they were supposed to do.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's a really great video showing they do what they're supposed to do.
		The problem is, like, even Fauci has brought this up.
		Very early on, he's like, you touch it, you're getting, you know, what did he say?
		You're getting schmutz on it and stuff?
		It's like you said.
		It's really simple to come out and say masks work.
		Well, of course, doctors wear them for a reason.
		The problem is a bunch of people... Look, I was walking through Chicago, every mask was under their nose.
		And no one says a word and I'm like, what's the point?
		If you're not going to actually tell people to fix it, if you don't care, nobody cared.
		I guess my point is everybody's just burned out on this.
		I'm so burned out.
		I'm so sick and tired of talking about it.
		Two years, man.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Well, we're not wearing the proper masks.
		If we actually had N95s fitted and if you touch it, you throw it away, you wash your hands and scrub them.
		And surgeons are wearing them for different reasons.
		In the hospital setting, they only wore them during surgery.
		I never had a doctor come out to me at a hospital.
		I spent a lot of time in the hospital as a kid because my mom would be in and out of hospitals.
		My dad was really sick.
		Never once did a doctor come out with a mask.
		That wasn't a thing.
		They put it on to prevent getting splattered in the face by some projectile Kidney fluid.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Or them spitting into a surgery.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		But to prevent, like, to actually walk around and think this is going to stop something microscopic, and N95s do, but you have to fit them right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, no.
		We had this argument before with somebody because... Steve.
		Was it Steve?
		You can get COVID through spit and through aerosolized, you know, water vapors.
		So the masks stop the spit.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Well, they stopped the spit, but there's still stuff going through them.
		It does reduce the viral load.
		I will admit to that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's the spit.
		And if there's viruses in the spit.
		So my thing is just basically, my point is this, not medical.
		I really don't care to have medical arguments about donning and doffing or whatever.
		I think you make a good point about proper, it's called donning and doffing, right?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How you're supposed to put it on, how you're supposed to take it off.
		It's just people like literally with these nasty, unclean masks.
		My thing is just, if nobody cares anymore, If people in Chicago aren't abiding by it, and they're like, we're going to up the mandates, I just don't see how this, just, it's over.
		The policies, people are fed up.
		In Chicago, I'm hearing people complain about this, saying, I can't believe how insane it's getting, I'm not going to do this.
		And I'm hearing people saying they're going to leave.
		And then we look at, there's this graph that's been going around on Twitter showing California, New York, Illinois, largest population exodus in the country.
		Florida and Texas, major boom in population.
		People are voting with their feet.
		They're saying, I don't care, I'm done, I'm out.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, they're voting and they're moving away from government because government almost every step of the way here made the situation that much worse for masks.
		Dr. Fauci and the CDC were telling people from the very beginning, you don't need masks.
		Then you need masks.
		Then you need two masks.
		Then you don't need two masks.
		Again, the messaging was always confusing.
		We never prioritized early treatment.
		We never talked about building up the terrain, fighting obesity, helping people's immune systems.
		We never talked about a lot of the issues that could have, according to some medical professionals, really made an impact here.
		It was always one procedure, one product, the vaccine, always we need to do that.
		And that to me was just a misnomer.
		And a lot of people were asking serious questions about that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Last year, I can't remember exactly when it was, but I was listening to Joe Rogan's show and he was talking about COVID again.
		And I was like, we're all locked down.
		It's hard to fly people and get guests.
		We didn't even have guests until like August of last year when restrictions started to ease.
		And I was just listening to the show and I was like, You know, Joe has one of the biggest and best podcasts in the world, and even he is just talking about COVID over and over again, and I'm like, are we seriously now?
		It's been two years, and I can't tell you how much of the content we've done is literally just COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID.
		It's just crazy to me that we're still in this matrix world of, this is life, this is life, it's all it is.
		All the news, all the big stories is just, how bad are things getting now?
		And I'm like, Last week, you know, I'm like, Hey Luke, before the show, like, what's the big stories?
		And Luke's like, we got this on COVID, these protests.
		And I'm like, yo, I don't care.
		I was like, I can't talk about this stuff.
		Let's talk about something else.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now, now we're, we're, you know, what ended up happening is DC, Baltimore, Philly, I'm not starting at Baltimore, Boston, Philly, Chicago, they all announced these, these mandates.
		Right before Christmas, when no one's paying attention, when no one knows exactly what's going on.
		And I go on, I'm talking to people and they're like, wait, what's happening?
		And I'm like, you didn't hear Chicago is going to require you to get a vaccine.
		They're like, I didn't, I didn't know.
		I'm like, yeah, because people are with their families.
		And so all this news dumps at the same time.
		Everybody wants to have a good time and they want to think about fun family stuff.
		And here we are once again, it's been two years.
		I can't remember who this was.
		They said, Zuby, I think it was.
		He said, my vocabulary around COVID is officially gone.
		I'm not going to talk about it ever again.
		I don't care anymore.
		And I'm like, I feel, I think it was Zuby.
unidentified		Maybe.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm just like, I feel you, man.
		I'm burned out on this so much.
		Nothing's changed.
		I mean, things keep changing, but they stay the same in a certain way.
		In that 15 days to slow the spread becomes three months, becomes wear a mask, becomes wear two masks.
		I get it.
		By next year, we'll all be wearing gigantic plastic bubble suits and we'll have, we'll be in our 10th booster shot.
		Is that where we're going?
		Look, I'm just going to go, I'm going to take care of the chickens.
		I'm going to skate.
		We've got, we have a bottle of Trump champagne.
		We're going to be cracking open on New Year's and I'm going to live my life.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		So Tim, here's a question back to the masks real quick.
		When do we get to take them off?
		Like, okay, we know they do.
		Okay.
		Let's say they work.
		When do we get to let our kids see each other's facial expressions?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
		What do you mean take them off?
		No, no, no, no, no, no.
		You got to put more on.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Dr. Fauci.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Dr. Fauci today said, came out, he said, don't even consider removing your masks when you're on the flight.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that guy's nuts.
		At the end of the day, you know, you have a situation where there's always going to be some stuff floating around in the air.
		There's always going to be something.
		Dude, I was taken down for five days by hand, foot and mouth disease from going to a children's museum.
		I I couldn't walk.
		My hands literally sloughed off.
		I had no fingernails.
		And I wasn't like, man, I wish I wore a mask.
		No, I was like, oh, shoot.
		I got a virus.
		Maybe I should take better care of my health.
		Or maybe I should look into what vitamins prevent viruses instead of like, oh, let me cover my face and force my kids to cover their face and fly with a facial covering.
		That's absurd.
		That's insane.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, I was thinking, I was like, We could mandate a whole lot of things to keep people safe.
		I made this joke on Twitter.
		I was like, let's mandate morning calisthenics.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I think that's great.
		Jumping jacks.
		I don't care.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Get rid of fast food.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Uh, you know, let's get rid of a Monsanto.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Gotta keep Chipotle in there.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I don't know about that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Chipotle's good.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		It's got chicken and rice.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		How do you go wrong with chicken and rice?
unidentified		That's a bodybuilding staple!
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		That's a bodybuilding... I am taking offense.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		He's an anti-bodybuildite.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Are you?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes, a buildite.
		You know why I love going to Chipotle?
		Because they've got... Your meal is gonna be fats and proteins.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't do the rice and the beans.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I do the hell out of rice, man.
		Whole lot of drugs in this body.
		Come on.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I will get the peppers and onions, the chicken, and then I'll be like cheese, guacamole, sour cream.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Perfect.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		You can make your perfect meal.
		You could have a low-fat, high-protein diet.
		You could have a high-fat, high-protein diet.
		You could have a vegan diet.
		Like, I'm sorry, Chipotle, Moe's, Qdoba.
		If you're looking for fast food that can actually fit whatever diet you're on, I'm sipping for those guys, man.
		That's some good.
		That's some good eating.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's let's let's let's let's talk about what you did.
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So for those that aren't familiar, Mr. Lobliner, right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm pronouncing it right.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Lobliner's good.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Lobliner.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		You're Tim.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		You call me whatever you'd like.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I screwed it up.
		So you you have we have this box of what do you call it?
		It's a whole food bar, right?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's the it's it's a whole food protein bar.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		It's called the outright bar.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Sitting right behind you.
unidentified		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And you announced just, I think it was not even two weeks ago.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That you were pulling out of Kroger supermarkets because of their COVID policies.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		And that was a decision that I woke up and I read the news and I'm like, you know what?
		I just can't sit back and be complicit.
		Look, I am not anti-V word.
		Not.
		I'm not at all.
		My kids all have them.
		I have them.
		But under this circumstance and situation, some people might not be able to get these.
		I mean, I believe, Lydia, you can't get it.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they told me not to.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I was told I'm not supposed to get it by my doctor.
		So they're saying that we're going to penalize you for not getting this.
		And there's no one fighting for the employees.
		These guys are alone.
		No one's fighting for them.
		You got Biden's administration saying that if companies don't do this, they're killing grandma and they're complicit in whatever.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You're losing money on this.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm losing money.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Can you say how much money or do you want to keep that private?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Seven figures.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Millions of dollars.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Kroger is huge.
		They're huge.
		They own other things like Ralph's.
		Like it's a segue into the other door.
		We're in the final steps of the conversations.
		And I was like, I woke up in the morning and I ran it by my wife.
		Now you guys don't know me as well as my wife knows me, rightfully so.
		But I have a, I kind of have the tendency to do things a little rash, a little brash, you know, a little bit spur of the moment.
		Like I don't think things through.
		So I actually did.
		And I'm like, Katie, what should I do?
		She's like, this is the right decision.
		Because for me, it hits hard.
		It hits home.
		Because being complicit when you have this kind of tyranny and this kind of fascism take over.
		That's what led to World War II.
		Oh, Mark, you can't compare this to Nazis.
		Yes, I can.
		Yes, I can.
		It's the same path.
		And by the way, I lost my entire family to Nazis in World War II.
		The only reason I'm here is because my grandfather escaped Auschwitz.
		And because people like me who own businesses, people who can influence people to do the right thing, they stood by and just said, oh, we'll be okay.
		Let me just take care of my family today.
		Oh, I could pay my bills today.
		I'm fine.
		Oh, I got money in the bank.
		I'm fine.
		Until the government comes confiscates and puts you on a train.
		And that's what happens.
		And if we don't stand up to government overreach like this, my goal with this was to get other companies to follow, but they have no spines and they are greedy bastards.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Preach.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Give me another hour.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I have a lot more to say.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, we got an hour and a half.
		Oh, cool.
		So sitting behind, just right behind Mark is his outright bars, which they're delicious.
unidentified		Yeah, we love them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We have a bunch.
		They're amazing.
		And it's like peanut butter, honey, and all that good stuff.
		Protein.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's a whole food protein bar.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You did the right thing, man.
		You wrote a letter to Kroger saying, we cannot in good conscience support this.
		But it's not just about what governments are doing.
		It's about what these businesses are doing.
		You stood up to Kroger.
		You stand to lose a lot of money by doing it.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And there are so many people who are like, I won't take that risk.
		Like you said, I'll just take care of my family.
		And what you end up with is, one step at a time, things get worse.
		The more people are willing to tolerate, the more the evil pushes and encroaches until finally someone says, enough.
		I'm not going to stand for this.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Look, Tim, me going on an airplane and refusing to wear a mask and getting arrested, nobody cares.
		It's not going to make a change.
		What I want to do is make a change from this level and hopefully other companies follow.
		And that's where I'm at with this.
		It's like, okay, I'm one product out of thousands and thousands of products at Kroger.
		They don't care.
		They can live without the outright bar.
		You know what?
		And you know what?
		I'm going to be just fine.
		I'm going to pay my bills.
		I'm going to be just fine.
		My kids are going to be fine.
		But if I didn't make this stand, who's going to lead the way?
		Who's going to be the first one to say, Hey, I'm not putting up with this anymore.
		I'm not going to stand by and watch them abuse their employees.
		And I'm not going to stand by and watch the government overreach on people's freedoms and rights.
		Like we talked about earlier, it's not about whether the medical procedure is safe or not.
		It's about freedom.
		It's about choice.
		And I'm not going to stand by in the greatest country, the greatest country that ever existed in the history of this planet, and let these bastards destroy it.
		I'm not going to do it.
		Not on my watch.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I saw a viral video of this nurse, or woman claiming to be a nurse, saying they fired her for not getting vaccinated.
		And then they called her up, they sent her a text saying, can you come back and work?
		Because we're desperate.
		It's like, well, consequences, man.
unidentified		They brought back Kyrie Irving because the vaccinated players got sick with COVID and he's the unvaccinated one.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Nurses are irrelevant.
		Kyrie Irving is the big loss to society.
		And that guy, dude, not only does he have tremendous game, but his shoes are really nice.
		Huge fan of the Kyries.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		But what you were saying about Kroger was a very important moment because they took a step further than a lot of other corporations out there.
		They decided to say, we have a whole bunch of people working for us, helping make this company.
		They put their blood, sweat, and tears into it, and we're going to Set a policy that takes away their benefits away from them if they don't take a medical procedure that we want them to take, which is absolutely crazy.
		It's mind-boggling and the people working for Kroger's should be thinking twice about who they're working for when they have management like that.
		And there was a lot of protest against Kroger.
		There's also a lot of people saying Kroger wants to move into Florida.
		A lot of people were organizing a lot of different efforts to say, hey, we're not going to support this business.
		We're going to vote with our dollar.
		You took it to another level, which I think is commendable because You absolutely put your blood, your sweat, and your tears on the line for freedom.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I talk about this all the time, about how people are unwilling to sacrifice to do what's right.
		You did exactly that.
		And then some.
		I mean, look, man.
		Seven figures in sales?
		You could buy yourself something real nice and fancy, but instead you said freedom's more important.
		So you know what you bought?
		You spent a lot of money, but you bought freedom.
		At least a little bit.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		What example?
		Look, I have three kids.
		I have a soon-to-be 16-year-old girl, a 13-year-old boy, and another 8-year-old boy.
		What example am I setting to my children if I don't take a stand?
		What example am I setting to my children if I don't put principal over profit?
		What example does that set for the kids that I coach at a high school level?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What world do you leave behind?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		We leave behind a really crappy world that resembles countries that have never made it.
		America is the last standing beacon of freedom.
		We need to keep it that way.
		And it starts... Look, I'm an idiot.
		I'm a meathead.
		Okay?
		I get it.
		I get all the jokes.
		I see all the comments on Twitter.
		I know what you guys think about me.
		Okay?
		At the end of the day, if an idiot like me can do his part, and if you agree with... Look, if you agree... If you don't agree with me, by all means, don't sacrifice anything.
		But if you agree that what's going on now is the wrong thing, you need to... Local effect can have a global change.
		You need to affect local.
		That's what you need to do.
		Do your part.
		I'm not saying do something stupid and get arrested, but I know there's something that all of us can do to help change.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'll tell you this.
		One thing you can do for those that are watching is if there is, if you have a Kroger or, well, they own Ralph's and all these stores.
		If you don't like the policies they're implementing, do not shop there.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I don't.
		I go to Publix.
		Kroger's the closest store.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh yeah, Publix was really good, weren't they?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I love Kroger.
		I do.
		I always went there.
		And that's why this hurts so bad.
		Also, our company, tigerfitness.com and Outright Bar, we're headquartered in Loveland, Ohio, which is Cincinnati, basically, and that's where they're located.
		So I actually had, you know, there were some of my colleagues who were not too happy with this decision because it's a local company.
		But this is about more than just Cincinnati.
		This is about the world.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The best layup we ever had on one of our sponsor ad reads was when Michael Malice was on the show, and I'm like, we do this shout-out for our very sponsors, and Michael just interjects, he was like, guys, these companies that are sponsoring shows like this are the companies you need to be supporting because they're putting themselves on the line.
		We know how cancel culture works.
		We know that people come after companies who are getting kicked out of stores or canceled off certain shows.
		They threaten advertisers.
		You need to support the businesses that are actually putting something on the line to defend these values.
		So, you're walking away from a fat paycheck, and there's a lot of people... It kind of bums me out, but look, I should put it this way.
		We should be standing on the side of optimism for what you've done with your company and the things you're saying.
		It can be discouraging sometimes, like, where's everybody else?
		Where are the other businesses that have values, that have products in Kroger, are going to be like, we're going to follow suit, we're going to do the same thing?
		Because I'll tell you this, Salvation Army, they got called out recently because they had some critical race theory stuff on their website.
		How fast did they backpedal and apologize?
		When donors started canceling, saying, I will not fund this.
		If people start saying, if you're a good company that does the right thing, I want to help encourage your growth.
		The funny thing is, the left says the exact same thing, and the right isn't playing the game.
		The left will be like, guys, everyone go and support these companies that are engaging in practices that support our values.
		Support these companies.
		And they do it.
		They organize, they get collective.
		And the right's like, Eh, I don't really care.
		I'll go to Kroger and buy one.
		No, no, no.
		It's time to start voting with your dollars and voting with your feet and saying, I'm not going to support companies that are sacrificing us.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And people need to understand, like voting with your money, voting with your dollars, voting with your time, with your attention, with your voice absolutely matters to such a huge degree that if it didn't, That all hope would have been lost, but there's been so many different effects.
		There's been so many different people standing up for the right thing, and there's been a huge suppression of it.
		And Mark, I think you stand by these basic ideas.
		This basic idea of fame and money is worthless in life, especially at the end of life, compared to, of course, your values, the life you lived, what you stood up for, and the world you left for your children.
		I think that is a lot more important.
		And at the end of the day, even though you lost out on some money, I think you made the right decision.
		And I think people will support you.
		And I think energetically, synchronistically, things are going to go your way a lot more because of people standing up against people getting discriminated against.
		Because let's just say, you know, Lydia, Linda was working at Kroger.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He almost said Lydia.
unidentified		I know.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I have to correct myself there.
		We have an ongoing inside joke here.
		That's another story.
		But if you were working there, you would have had your benefits taken away right before the holiday season.
		You would have been denied basic access, basic help to survive in this world because of your own personal medical decisions that your doctor says you can't take.
		So that's absolutely insane and crazy.
		And then that deserves to be protested minimally, at least with your dollars.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Just for this segment, people are wondering where they can pick up... So, the easiest place is tigerfitness.com.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		We're also available at every single vitamin shop.
		Locally, if you have a grocery store, Hy-Vee, H-E-B.
		We're available at awesome local retailers, Natural Body in New York.
		We've got Everybody Nutrition in Huntington Beach.
		We have tens of thousands of gas stations that carry our bars.
		We're out there.
		At the end of the day, we're doing this for the employees of Kroger, believe it or not.
		It might seem like it's hurting their company.
		We're trying to change policy.
		We're trying to make it so they have no choice.
		But hey, we made an error.
		And then, talks resume immediately.
		They resume immediately.
		I just want them to realize their errors.
		And this is not a good thing.
		This is pro-freedom.
		This is absolutely pro-freedom.
		And also, one more thing.
		You were talking about what the benefit is.
		When I die, and one day I will die, okay?
		No one's going to remember me for the car I drove.
		No one's going to remember me for the house I owned or the companies I had.
		They're going to remember me for what I did and the actions I took.
		They're going to remember me for coaching at a high school level on my own time for free.
		The kids are going to remember me, hey that's the guy who taught me how to deadlift correctly.
		That's the guy who helped me win a state title.
		They don't give a crap that I did five million dollars a year in Kroger.
		Nobody's going to care.
		And my kids, they're going to be just fine, but they're not going to care either because they talk about their dad and talk about what kind of person I was, not how much money I made.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		One of the things I really, I've always complained about people not standing up for themselves.
		I remember when I was younger, I had friends who were servers at restaurants, and they'd
		be like, we need to vote this way or that way because they need to raise the minimum
		wage.
		It's not fair, we only get paid three bucks an hour or whatever.
		And I was like, why don't you quit?
		My friends are back, well, I need the job.
		And I'm like, do all of your coworkers agree with you that you're not paid enough, that
		the base rate for a server is too low?
		And I'm like, so you mean to tell me that each and every one of you could just be like, hey, we're all gonna quit unless you could strike?
		And they're like, oh, I don't know about that.
		I'm like, yo, if you were all for this, you need to just say it.
		The problem is they all feel that everyone else is a coward.
		This person working there is like, well, I would, but then I get fired because no one else will.
		And I'm like, well, then you work with cowards.
		And if everyone working there just said, I don't wanna work in these conditions, Your wages would skyrocket overnight, and the cost of food might go up.
		There's repercussions here.
		But, you know, if people are unwilling to take that stand because no one else will, then we are in a downward trajectory.
		If you take the stand, or if anyone takes the stand, you may be the only one standing.
		That may be the case.
		But at least you voted exactly how you needed to vote.
		This is what I tell people.
		I don't vote for party.
		I don't care.
		I don't like the two-party system.
		Show me something worth voting for.
		Donald Trump, last year, he did.
		2016, he didn't.
		In 2020, I saw things I liked.
		I said, I want to vote for that.
		I really do.
		And I don't like voting against people.
		I'd rather vote for a libertarian candidate or, depending on nowadays, maybe not a Green Party candidate, but I would rather vote third party because I vote for what I believe in.
		Because if you vote for what you believe in, you've never wasted your vote.
		But everybody is scared.
		They're scared of the other.
		They're scared.
		If I vote for this guy, then this guy's gonna win.
		Well, then we all lose.
		Is that what we're gonna do?
		Nah.
		I'm not about that.
		So I got a lot of respect for what you did by standing up and putting your own company on the line, putting your bottom line on the line, because some things are more important.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Very.
		Yeah.
		It's no question it was the right choice.
		No question at all.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's talk about how insane people are with this stuff because apparently the only news is COVID news.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, there's this viral video.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		This one was awesome.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Foul-mouthed Delta passenger who was arrested for spitting at and punching 80-year-old man for not wearing a mask while he ate, despite her not wearing one either, is revealed to be a luxury real estate agent and former Raiderette.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		So he got spit, she spit in his mouth.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		In his mouth!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		All in the name for fighting COVID.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Honestly, I would pay good money to have a Raiderette spit in my mouth.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Hey, family friendly show.
unidentified		Hey, that was a completely rated PG joke.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		That was, that was, that was good.
		That was, that was one of my better ones.
		Thank you.
		I'm just going to leave right now.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That was a good one.
		So this lady is in this viral video, she's on the plane and there's a guy minding his own business and he's like eating and she's screaming at him, wear your mask!
		Why have people gone insane?
		I think, you know what I think?
		Misery loves company.
		This lady sees a guy sitting there not wearing the mask.
		And she thinks, if I have to wear it, so does he.
		And she gets mad.
		And so she goes up and starts screaming at him.
		And then the FBI arrests her.
		Now she's gonna go to jail.
		There's another viral video where a guy is stalking a woman in a supermarket and he actually says, does anyone else piss that we all have to wear masks and she isn't?
		That's the mentality of these people.
		They are like children.
		They are like, well if I have to, you have to.
		It's like, bro, is anyone telling you to?
		They're not telling her to take your mask off.
		There's clearly no enforcement.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Do you think it's that or do you think it's just that people who are really bad at life suddenly have the opportunity to exert power over others?
		Because I just, the people I see doing this, like you don't see dudes, and I hate to be a bit like, I don't want this to sound arrogant, but you don't see dudes who are built like me going up like, put your mask on.
		No, it's always little pipsqueaks with really bad facial hair.
		It's really true.
		So I think it gives betas a chance to feel alpha because I don't have the urge.
		Like I get to bark at high school kids every day and say, get your set.
		You know, I don't have the urge to and yell at someone with something is lower than beta.
		Yeah.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's a part of the larger kind of psychological conditioning that happened because
		you saw the corporate media repeat.
		You could be a hero.
		You could save lives.
		Grandma could have an extra year of life if you do your part, if you wear your mask.
		And they heard that message over and over again.
		And they also saw grandma and old people dying in horrible, horrific It's ingrained in their psychology that if someone doesn't wear a mask, they're trying to kill me.
		And this lady, there's reports of her being drunk, whatever it is, I think was a victim of that larger kind of mind control psychosis.
		And she truly believed he's hurting someone by not wearing a mask.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think misery loves company.
		I think you have people like Bill Maher.
		He went on his show and he was like, I took one for the team, I got two shots, and now they're saying I gotta do more?
		I'm not gonna do it.
		That's Bill Maher breaking out of the mold.
		There's a lot of people who are scared to.
		So what ends up happening is they get their third shot.
		I've talked to some people, man, and the reaction is really strange.
		I was talking to someone recently about restrictions, vaccine mandates in cities,
		and I didn't say anything political. I was just like, well, I mean, it's going to be,
		you know, I was like, things are going to get interesting with these mandates. And they're
		like, who cares? It's totally fine. It's totally no big deal at all. I've got all of my shots.
		And I was like, all right. Like that was a quick escalation.
		Like there's an agitation in their voice. And my response was like, yeah, but you know, some
		places they're now saying like, after nine months in Germany or whatever.
		It doesn't matter.
		I'll get it I'll get it's fine, and I'm like all right slow down dude like what I'm hearing in This is there are people who are unsure of themselves, and they're scared so they want to feel comfort knowing everyone else is in the same position they are and So when they say, I went and did this because I had to, I don't know if it was the right thing.
		I'll feel better if everyone else has to do the same thing, but people are refusing.
		I think what's happening is there are people who don't want, this is the danger of the vaccine mandates, especially when Bill de Blasio goes on TV and says, we're going to tie your quality of life to the mandate, your paycheck to the mandate.
		There's going to be a dude.
		I tell you, man, this is what worries me.
		They're going to snap.
		There's going to be a dude who's like, I don't want to do this.
		I know people who vote a Democrat, who are posting on Facebook, smack talking me, laughing and gloating.
		And people I know, then the mandate started hitting for their jobs and they were freaking out.
		Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
		Like, what is going on?
		Do I really have to do this?
		This is freaking me out.
		These people are freaking out.
		When you mandate someone get a medical procedure and get something put in their body and they don't feel good about it, this is going to cause a psychotic break in someone.
		They are going to have a mental breakdown.
		They're going to drop to their knees screaming, freaking out because you've backed them into a corner too much.
		You cannot push people beyond their reasonable boundaries for this long and this far.
		I used to work in non-profit fundraising.
		We would go up to people on the street and tell them, sign up for our cause, give us your money.
		One of the things I would talk to people about is reasonable boundaries.
		Can you get a person to do something that is unreasonable?
		The answer is no.
		It's very difficult.
		It takes time and conditioning.
		After two years, In a rapid pace, people have now taken three shots.
		Many of these people don't get their flu shots, they've not gotten their booster shots, they live their life and they mind their own business, but now they're in a position where the government is beating them down over and over and over again.
		What's happening?
		This woman on the airplane.
		She snapped.
		She lost it.
		She saw someone who is not experiencing the pain she experiences when the government forced her to do this, and she was angry.
		Why aren't you suffering like me?
		And so she spits in his mouth.
		She walks up and she spit in his mouth.
		Well, he had his mouth open and she spit into his face.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		That's good aim.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She got pretty close.
unidentified		Yeah.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		And she was very close.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But I think this is people who are feeling anxiety and stress from the government forcing them to do things.
		They don't have the courage to say no.
		And so when they see someone who says no, they get angry because that's a reflection on them.
		You're too weak.
		They're not.
		So they say, if I have to suffer, you have to suffer with me.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Bertrand Russell once said quote collective fear stimulates herd instinct and tends to produce Ferocity towards those who are not regarded as members of the herd So that quote is very fitting to a lot of what's happening right now sociologically But I think a lot of people are just in this constant state of anxiety paranoia fear of this larger unknown and and I think a lot of You know, people out there play on this fear of the unknown because it works on our imagination.
		It works on our greatest fears personally in our lives.
		And I think a lot of this has been codified by a lot of the corporate media coverage.
		When you see what they're saying, when you see over and over again the messaging that they're bringing out there, it's comply, get on your knees, do as you're told or else the worst is going to happen to you.
		And that's a message that is absolutely ridiculous and absolutely one that Not only induces fear, but destroys people's immune systems at the same time.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's talk about this trope where you get a grade school bully and he's beating up the young nerdy kid.
		And then the nerdy kid, you know, he's walking one day and then he's outside of school and he sees the bully and there's his dad.
		Bullying him.
		You've seen this trope, right?
		The kid who's the bully is getting bullied, and because he can't stand up to his dad, he takes his anger out on other people and makes him feel better about himself.
		That's what I think we're seeing with people like this in all these other videos.
		It's people who feel powerless who want to feel that power.
		So what do they do?
		They join the mob, they grab a pitchfork, and they threaten and scream at you because it makes it feel like they're in control.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and I think both of our theories are correct.
		I think you have powerless and you have people who are at a breaking point.
		But you also had the, just a bad combination of 80 year old guy, and if you've ever talked to an 80 year old man, they just don't care.
		Like, no, don't tell, I'm 80 years old, you know, with this woman who's obviously over the top, power hungry, telling them what to do.
		You had two people who are not going to compromise.
		You had Israel versus Iraq.
		You know what I mean?
		Like you had no compromise right there.
		So here we go.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This dude's sitting in his chair minding his own business.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		And he's eating.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		He's literally following the guidelines.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Cause look, I'll tell you what, like on planes, I don't know if this was a Delta flight, but on United, they say you have to take your, you have to wear your mask between bites.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Uh, they say that, but I guess that's, if you're flying first class, they give you more leeway.
		It's total classism.
		On the way, on the way back from, um, Arizona, um, for my bodybuilding show, the woman next to me didn't have her mask on the whole flight.
		No drink, no nothing.
		I was like, well, this is great.
		So I took mine off.
		So I think that they do treat the classes differently.
		Um, but nonetheless, nobody.
		Look man, when I have food or a beverage in front of me and I fly a lot my mask is off because I'm not putting it on my chin because what if I dribble food like that's just nasty and I'll be like look lady like if I like dribble like there's food in this mask I ain't got that many of them so I don't know I think it's just a horrible combination and United I've heard some bad horror stories.
		America's been really great, but United was fine today.
		They didn't do anything crazy.
		They're all scared.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		At the end of this, the fact remains, if you're rich, you're exempt.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Basically, you get a private jet.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, there's also CEOs of American Airlines and Southwest that are requesting that we get rid of the masks on plane mandates.
		And they're saying this is, you know, this is ridiculous.
		And they're making arguments against the federal policy for masks on planes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think some... I think people are gonna lose their minds.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think... Have you seen these photos and videos of people at Christmas in like, what they're called, isolation bubbles?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Oh yeah.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh my god, this is happening?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, bubble people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Bubble people.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Like Bubble Boy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So there's like a woman and they built a frame out of PVC pipe and then wrapped it in plastic wrap and she's sitting in it and they're like, we're safe!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Dude, people are gonna lose their... People are losing their minds.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		That is losing their minds, Tim.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there's a you can buy those plastic tanning like containers or whatever.
		It's like a wire frame.
		It's kind of like a hamper but it's bigger and you zip it open and stand inside and spray tan and it contains everything for you.
		There's a woman sitting in one of those and she like gives a thumbs up to the camera and it's like you have lost your minds. Look, if you think you're sick,
		you don't go to a family gathering.
		It's just that simple. Like I've had many family gatherings where it's like, Oh yeah, Joe can't
		call me. He's he came down with the flu. It's like, okay.
		But these people are living in this world where some of them aren't even sick. There's one guy
		and they were like, he had, he had a potential close contact. So he's staying outside.
		He had a van, opened up the back, pulled up to the window, and he's sitting in his van eating so that he could be there.
		And I'm like, this is crazy.
		People are losing their minds.
		But what happens when it's not just that people, you know, these people have adopted this worldview.
		They're choosing this, and they're smiling as they do it.
		Nah, there are people like this lady.
		They're not smiling as they do it.
		They're freaking out.
		Like, I think we're going to see someone lose their mind and seriously hurt themselves or others because they're going to just be like, I'm over this.
		There's already been a lot of suicide.
		What happens when you get, what happens when someone snaps?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Remember that term going postal back in the day?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		When you worked in the post office, they drove you to the brink because they were such bad employers.
		We're basically going to see a bunch of people quote unquote, go postal.
		And it makes you kind of have empathy for the people who Are kind of losing their minds because they went along with it.
		Now.
		I'm fortunate.
		I live in Tennessee.
		Like we literally did 15 days where I live.
		We're like, okay, that's enough.
		We didn't die.
		Cool.
		Let's go.
		I mean, we were having in July of 2020 in our gym, we had a shoulder to shoulder packed event.
		And nobody cared and the cops were there having fun with us like it was a good time.
		Whereas I watch for me to travel and to watch the news is like watching some weird like movie because none of that ish happens where I live.
		None of it happens in in Williamson County, Tennessee.
		We'll see a little glimpse of it.
		We'll see an occasional weirdo.
		But at the end of the day, man, we're just we have wrestling tournaments.
		It's packed.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		out here at the casino, you can still smoke indoors.
		People are smoking all over the place.
		It's like it's the 1990s.
		There's no, there's no what, uh, when all this was first starting, you'd go there and they had plastic put up at every table game.
		And it was, it was really weird.
		The funny thing is apparently with the dividers up, people were betting on the don't pass line.
		So for those that aren't familiar with craps, are you familiar with craps?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So, uh, typically people bet on what's called the pass line.
		You're betting for the guy who was rolling the person rolling the die to win.
		But the don't pass line, betting on them to lose, is a slightly better bet.
		Typically, people don't do that because it's kind of a dick move, but when the dividers went up, people were like, I don't care, you're separated from me, you can get mad at me.
		People just didn't care.
		It was a weird thing.
		It really, really separated us.
		But now, out here, it's all over.
		It's been over for a long time.
		There's no mandates, but there are still businesses, because we're close to D.C., that are engaging in this.
		You can tell they're more left-leaning.
		You go into West Virginia and people are going to be like, huh?
		Like, it doesn't exist.
		People are just doing their thing.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		A lot of people have characterized it as sanitation theater, as there is some preliminary data showing that it was absolutely almost pointless when it comes to, quote, stopping the spread.
		And again, There's not a lot of science here.
		There's not a lot of data.
		Why aren't we collecting the data?
		Why aren't we investigating a lot of this?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's hard to navigate that space, but don't take it from Luke!
		Take it from Joe Biden, who said there's no federal solution to the COVID-19 pandemic.
		That means every bit of guidance, you really got to understand what Joe Biden said when he made the statement, there's no federal solution to COVID.
		That means everything Fauci said has been what?
unidentified		A lie?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A waste of our time?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean there's no federal solution, Joe?
unidentified		No, no, no, no, no.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Hold on.
		People need to understand.
		A lot of people are like, Joe Biden's giving up.
		A lot of people are saying he's coming to realize.
		Whatever it is, that statement is Joe Biden undermining the entire federal response.
		If there's no solution at the federal level, what have we been doing?
		The states have been taking guidance from you, from Fauci.
		You take a look at what Andrew Cuomo said when he killed all those people in the nursing home.
		He said, we were getting federal guidance.
		Is Joe Biden now coming out and saying everything they did was not in the effort to produce a solution to this?
		Then what are they doing and why is Fauci still talking?
		Fire the guy, Joe Biden, if there's no federal solution.
		Then what is Fauci doing?
		The airlines?
		Okay, no more restrictions on airlines.
		You can have your New Year's parties because we can't do any of it.
		It's got to be the states.
		This is this is this is much bigger than I think people realize what Joe Biden said.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		This is enormous.
		I actually learned about this today.
		I'm like whoa because you know we're just we're in the green room doing our thing hanging out and I'm like This is huge.
		This is literally 10th Amendment stuff, man.
		Since when do Democrats care about the 10th Amendment?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let me read some of this.
		Biden held a phone conference with the nation's governors Monday as COVID cases began to rise.
		When speaking to Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, Biden said there's no federal solution.
		One word of concern or encouragement for your team is that as you look towards federal solutions that will help alleviate the challenge, make sure that we do not let federal solutions stand in the way of state solutions.
		The production of 500 million rapid tests that will be distributed by the federal government is great, but obviously that dries up the supply chain for the solutions that we might offer as governor.
		There is no federal solution.
		This gets solved at the state level, Biden responded.
		So that was ASA.
		Biden responded, there is no federal solution.
		Okay.
		The President of the United States has said everything that they've done was not heading in the direction of a solution.
		It was not solution oriented.
		Then why are we doing it?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		This guy literally ran on the platform of ending COVID.
unidentified		Yep.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		That was literally his thing.
		I will end COVID.
		And instead we get more COVID.
		We get more people who've had the procedure getting COVID.
		It didn't stop the transmission.
		I think we have record case, New York City accounts.
		Didn't New York City, I think I read this, 25% of the positive COVID cases are in New York City.
		One of those vaccinated places in the country.
		I believe that's correct.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is it 25%?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's look it up.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I think it's 25.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		If I'm mistaken, then I'm gonna blame it on someone else.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, New York is breaking records.
		They're seeing nearly... I don't know about that 25% statistic, but New York City is breaking records with massive amounts of cases.
		So I'll put it this way.
		I want to make sure I can say something.
		Thank you, Joe Biden.
		You are correct.
		The solution here has always been state level.
		The federal guidance is proving to be inadequate, and Joe Biden has correctly pointed it out, and it was the right thing to do, and I'm glad he did.
		Because now we can take a look at Florida.
		Florida's doing fantastic.
		At the state level, they have rejected Early this year, I pointed out that Joe Biden came out and said, we may need more lockdowns, X, Y, and Z, and all the things you want to do.
		And I was like, he's not talking to red states.
		He's talking to blue states because the red states are not listening to him.
		And you know what?
		Florida has been way better off for it.
		You look at the Gulf states, and for some reason they have these areas that are doing really, really well.
		I wonder why that is.
		Well, so long as they are able, as states, to handle their own issues, it seems to be working out.
		And the big blue states that are just following federal guidelines executed a bunch of old people in nursing homes because they were like, we're following federal guidelines.
		Well, that was under Trump, sure.
		But it was the governors who did it.
		If Joe Biden's gonna come out right now and say there's no federal solution, okay, then Fauci can say whatever he wants, but it seems to be meaningless.
		It's gonna have to be state-level, it's gonna have to be localized.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It took him long enough, and he sure did a lot of damage, and it seems like almost every action he committed, he made the situation that much worse.
		I just posted a meme of The Simpsons, and it's the classroom where it's all the students looking back at this one kid, and it says, say the line, And then Biden is in the middle and he's like covid is a state issue and everyone's celebrating and cheering and then this is this is the moment that we reached that we finally have this crescendo of the state realizing it's ineptness it's it's inability to to take care of the situation and at least it has.
		The ability to see that it took a very ... long time there's a lot of damage done to the average ... American but it should have always been a state issue ... because states based on their populations based on their ... circumstances know what's right for their constituents a ... lot more than a centralized top-down federal force that ... again boggled this response from the very beginning and ... can't even get testing right botched.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Some states just really like being told what to do.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		New York loves that stuff.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's pull up PolitiFact.
		This is the Joe Biden promise fact checker.
		And one of his first promises, get COVID-19 under control.
		According to PolitiFact, the Biden promise tracker says this one is in the works.
		Joe Biden, quote, I'm never going to raise the white flag and surrender.
		We're going to beat this virus.
		We're going to get it under control.
		I promise you.
		Okay.
		PolitiFact, you need to go into your Biden promise tracker and where it says in the works, put surrendered or failed, whatever.
		If Joe Biden's promise was to get COVID under control, but his response now to governors is, hey, don't look at us.
		You guys got to solve this problem.
		You can call it a white flag.
		I think it's a fair point.
		Joe Biden said he wouldn't raise it, but he's certainly raising it right now.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		You're absolutely correct.
		I mean, look, you can't go and say that we need to do things federally.
		We need to get everybody to do this, that, and the third.
		And then all of a sudden be like, ah, nah, nah, this has always been a state's issue.
		All we've heard is like federal mandates.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He gets handed the data and he goes, oh, we screwed up.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		No, no, no.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He doesn't say that.
		He's sitting in his room and he's like, listen, we're working hard on this one at the federal level to get things done.
		Mr. Biden, President, here's your updated numbers.
		And we're going to fight hard to It's a state's issue.
		After reviewing the data, I've always said it was a state's issue.
		Look, man, if he's now admitting the right thing, I'm glad he's doing it.
		But this is indicative of a bigger problem here in this country, that people voted for a corporeal form.
		That's what the Atlantic said.
		They didn't vote for a man who was going to lead.
		They voted for a man who was not Trump.
		That's it.
		They put him in his little wheelchair, put the blanket.
		I got to bring it up.
		I got to say it.
		Joe Biden said, let's go, Brandon.
		Joe Biden himself said, let's go, Brandon.
		He is so out of it.
		He has no idea what's going on that people are literally chanting.
		Let's go.
		Let's go, Brandon.
		They say, let's go, Biden.
		Let's go, Brandon.
		Let's go, Brandon.
		And Joe Biden doesn't know.
		That's how clueless he is.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		How do you not know?
		I literally have a Christmas ornament that says, let's go, Brandon.
		It's pretty cool.
		My neighbor gave it to me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Look, Joe Biden is so out of it and not paying attention.
		He did not know that it's stadiums across the country.
		People were chanting, let's go, Brandon, that there's merchandise.
		You'd think someone would have briefed him on this.
		Like, Hey, you need to know this is instead he gets a phone call and the guy's like, Merry Christmas.
		And let's go, Brandon.
		He goes, yeah, I agree.
		Let's go, Brandon.
		It's like, Wow.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Maybe he did know, but he forgot.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Like the guy is like 800 years old.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The emperor has no clothes.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		He's got dementia.
		He's got Alzheimer's.
		He's got every disease you could get above 80.
		Like, first of all, why do we have someone that damn old in office?
		Second of all, like he's not aging well.
		Like look, man, I'm not a Trump guy.
		I'm not, I'm again, like you, I like him for some reasons.
		I voted for Trump, but like Trump is a really, really vibrant and healthy 70 plus year old.
		The dude got younger since he's been in office.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's been losing weight.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		He looks great.
		Biden is like Weekend at Bernie's.
		He's the walking dead.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, I'll put it this way.
		Yes.
		Trump, during his presidency, he was an overweight man.
		He was not a bastion of health.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		He loves his McDonald's.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He was on a bunch of medications.
		He's an older guy too.
		But his mind was at least still Trump.
		Joe Biden is the true nana shabba depress your president.
		We don't know what that was or why or bad a calf care.
		I'm sorry.
		One thing that really gets mad at everything Biden does is that he may as well just be saying those words over and over again.
		How can we trust him when he comes out and says it's not a federal issue?
		What if he meant something else?
		In fact, I'll give you a really good example.
		It was at, I think, a UN meeting.
		He kept referring to Syria as Libya.
		Now, how do we know that?
		Honestly, we don't.
		Journalists just told us he meant Syria.
		Now, here's the problem.
		Joe Biden's speaking to a bunch of nations about conflict in the Middle East.
		Let's say he genuinely meant to talk about the conflict in Syria.
		What if there's someone who's there, who doesn't speak English, and hears Joe Biden talk, and the translator says, Joe Biden wants military action in Libya?
		They're gonna go, okay.
		How are they supposed to know that Joe Biden made a mistake and was talking about something else?
		Is their translator gonna go, well he said Libya, but he meant Syria.
		They're gonna be like, he said Libya, what are you talking about?
		Joe Biden using the wrong name of a country?
		Could you imagine?
		They're like, we need to get a military strike today.
		On where?
		Libya.
		Okay.
		And they fire missiles.
		And then he goes like, oh, I meant Syria.
		Worse still, what if Joe Biden did not mean Syria?
		What if he actually meant Libya?
		Because his brain is trapped in 2010.
		Because he's old and demented.
		And so he's standing up to the UN.
		Oh, the problems in Libya, man!
		Yeah, there were problems in Libya with Gaddafi, and maybe Joe Biden can't remember what's going on.
		And so he's actually thinking about a problem that's not currently happening.
		I mean, Libya's got its problems.
		The fact is, I don't even know that Joe Biden meant to say the word federal.
		And if these things keep happening, how can we trust a word out of his damn mouth?
		He could come out and be like, we gotta, we gotta cure, we gotta fight COVID.
		And he actually meant to say fight for COVID.
		He's actually on the side of the virus.
		I have no idea.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		With what the government has been doing, there's an argument to make there.
		And when he would have bombed Libya, the media would have been like, Joe Biden ends slavery in Africa, bravely committing an act against the slave trade that was created there with the vacuum of power that was created by our first bombs.
		Now we've got more bombs.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, it would have been funny if when Joe Biden was giving the speech and the media translates for him and they're like, he meant to say Syria.
		Okay, sure.
		Maybe he did.
		But if he accidentally says Libya and that resulted in accidental airstrike on, he accidentally says Libya and it resulted in accidental airstrike on Libya, then the media is going to be like, this is a good thing.
		It doesn't matter whether it was the right country or not.
		They're going to be like, Joe Biden made it very fierce.
		They would find a way to argue that Joe Biden was doing this on purpose.
		He wasn't, in fact, demented and firing missiles at the wrong country.
		They would say something like, Joe Biden had been secretly planning for months now a strike on militia forces in Libya to end the slave trade.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		So here's a question real quick.
		So Trump's out of office.
		Obviously, the media hated Trump.
		Why is the media still so protective of President Biden?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Tribalism.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Pure tribalism.
		I think people need to understand that there is an element of propaganda to it.
		There's some viral article going around about some leftist YouTuber actually being funded by British intelligence or something.
		Yeah, sure.
		These things exist.
		Of course, they do.
		There's information warfare.
		But for the most part, take a look at Brian Stelter on CNN.
		Count how many times he criticizes Rachel Maddow for being wrong.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I can't.
		He blocked me.
		Oh.
		Yeah, it's a shame.
		I made fun of his weight.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, well.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		He's really fat.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He is, but I like to keep it to the ideas, right?
		And if his idea of a good show is to be like, Fox News is bad, but literally never complain, or I should say, figuratively, never complain about MSNBC or Rachel Maddow, then he's not a real journalist.
		Look, we can come on this show.
		Over and over again.
		And be like, here are the things we don't like about Trump.
		Here are the things we like about Trump.
		Also, Joe Biden's crazy.
		And they act like that's a hyper-partisan show that's like, grifting or whatever.
		And I'm like, dude, Brian Souther, CNN, MSNBC, they literally lie to your faces.
		We aren't Fox News.
		We're not repeating Hannity's lines here.
		We have arguments about this stuff.
		But I don't think they can handle these kinds of conversations.
		It has to be completely tribal.
		CNN built up an anti-Trump audience.
		If they come out now, it's called audience capture, and they say, actually Trump did well in these areas, their audience would revolt.
		If they come out now and criticize Rachel Maddow, their audience would revolt.
		So they don't do it.
		That's it.
		That's the demise of their network.
		So, you know, it's too bad.
		It's too bad.
		I mean that sarcastically.
		It's too bad.
		But, you know, I wish we had better media.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I think these developments prove my earlier hypotheses that the president is a puppet, that there's multinational corporations and powerful people behind him, especially at the helms of power that truly do pull the strings, that do set the policies.
		And I think they're using his presidency as a lame duck presidency in order to jam through some of the most unpopular, Craziest insane policies that violate people's human ... rights that destroy their ability to have any financial ... mobility they're using him as this kind of Trojan horse this ... docile old sleeping man and they're ramming through some of ... the top-notch globalist insanity that that no one ... would ever want but but to me he's the perfect cover and an ... excuse to do that and I think.
		Because, again, he's clearly not there.
		Who else is there?
		I believe the special interests.
		Those special interests, I think, are there no matter who is president.
		And I think that a lot of them do call the shots with a lot of the unpopular policies that are passed.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They're going to update this PolitiFact fact checker on, like, Biden's promise tracker.
		And they're going to say, promise accomplished.
		Like, he got COVID under control.
		And that's why he's saying there's no federal solution.
		Because he's already got it under control.
		And now he's just talking about other stuff as unrelated to getting under control.
		Because, you know, he's done.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, this is going to be interesting because I think in a few weeks he's going to be claiming that he's the victor.
		He took down COVID because a lot of people now, when they're getting this new Omicron variant, a lot of people are building up immunity.
		A lot of people are getting this sickness.
		So there is a possibility here, according to some medical professionals, that this could be the end of COVID with how virulent this virus is and how Less lethal it is compared to other variants.
		And for a lot of people, this is the best case scenario because this signals the end of all of this.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I have to disagree with you, man.
		I had a runny nose once.
		That thing annoyed me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yo, have you ever seen this video where they simulate a runny nose with like UV ink or whatever?
		And so they have a party, everyone plays games, and they have a very light runny nose, and it's ink.
		And then at the end of the party, they put a black light on.
		This is crazy, I can't remember where I saw this.
		Many of you probably have seen the video.
		It's like, you see him wipe his nose with a Kleenex, and they show the black light, and you can see the ink coming out.
		And then, at the end of the day, you can see the whole room is just...
		Hovered in the ink because people would be touching everything.
		It's really crazy, man.
		Look, I got no problem saying if you're sick, don't come to my parties.
		Look, man, I'm sorry you can't come, but don't get people sick.
		Don't do that stuff.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		When you're sick, stay home.
		Like my daughter had a wrestling meet.
		She had a little like stuffy nose.
		I'm like, you're going to be like grappling with people.
		Take the day off.
		Go watch some Netflix.
		Yeah.
		Just chill.
		I mean, that's the problem.
		When we were sick as a kid, we stayed home from school.
		We stayed home.
		That's the answer.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We got it.
		We got it.
		We got to talk about the news.
		You can use man.
		This is really going to affect you guys.
		Fauci.
		He wants to, uh, he says no parties, no parties.
		You can't do New Year's Eve parties.
		I'll tell you what I'm having a New Year's Eve party.
		Well, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to fry up some steak.
		We're going to have some Trump champagne, and then we're going to go hit the casino because they're doing a big countdown and they got the new barstool sports thing.
		I think it's officially open.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh, sweet.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Awesome.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It looks so amazing.
		They got wings and beer is going to be so much fun, but Airbnb.
		Vows to crack down on New Year's Eve parties.
		Quote, as we build upon the party ban and continue to protect our community during this unprecedented time, certain holidays such as New Year's Eve attract higher risks of unauthorized or disruptive parties.
		That's why we're introducing new products and policies to crack down on disruptive New Year's Eve parties.
		Helping to protect our hosts and minimizing neighbors is a ban on one night NYE bookings and entire home listings for guests with a history of positive reviews.
		All right, well.
		Airbnb.
		No parties.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Here's the issue.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No parties.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		There's Vrbo.
		Go somewhere else.
		You know, we have Vrbo.
		It's a great little process here.
		If you don't like what Airbnb is doing.
		So is this all in the name of COVID or is this just to avoid messing up neighborhoods?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I think it's to avoid messing up people's homes because when you have parties at COVID, I think, could be the scapegoat.
		I mean, you obviously destroy the property that people rent.
		And this could be the major factor in there because, you know, if I'm renting a property
		to someone, it's for them to use it like a hotel, not like a club.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		So COVID, I think could be the scapegoat because as someone who's looking into some property
		in Vegas, for example, yeah, I'd want to stay away for, I'd actually block that night out.
		So I think it's a way for them to protect their properties.
		If I look at it this way, I think COVID is just the scapegoat as it is with every customer service issue I've ever had since 2020.
		Hey man, um, I got this shirt and it's missing two buttons.
		Well, you know, COVID.
		How the hell is that COVID?
		You know, it's at the end of the day, everything, man, I think it could be a scapegoat.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We, we, we got a super chat from someone, you know, I see it in passing where they mentioned as an, as a flight attendant, they were, they were saying most people they know don't have COVID, but they're reporting the reason all the flights are getting shut down and canceled is because people are calling in sick with COVID due to the surge.
		Sounds like at least from this one employee in their bubble, it's people just calling out using COVID as an excuse.
		They said when we claim we're sick with COVID, we don't get in trouble.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Really?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		There's a meme going around showing a test and someone drawing in the lines saying, this is how I make sure I don't work on New Year's Eve.
		And there might be some of that.
		There might be people faking their tests or just saying, hey, I'm sick here because they don't feel like working.
		As of course, that's been the overall trend for this year.
		A lot of people saying, I just don't want to work.
		I don't want to work for a company and make dollars that are going to be absolutely worthless as their value keeps declining almost every single day.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I see all these photos and videos of Democrats, for the most part, not wearing masks.
		Now look, there are Republicans who don't wear masks too, but they're the ones who come out ragging on masks and mask mandates, so I'm like, okay, well that's in line with what they've been saying.
		When you see these Democrats come out like Whitmer, like Newsom, like Pelosi, like even Fauci at that baseball game where he had his mask turned down, And I'm like, these are the ones who are coming out claiming we need this.
		How much you want to bet they didn't get vaccinated either?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		You know what?
		I think that might be true.
		It's weird because that's like me, you know, doing my whole health and fitness IFBB pro thing and coming out and them having that.
		Remember that video of Arnold like, like topless and it was really a mess.
		Oh my God, what happened to Arnold?
		It's hypocrisy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like, Before the show, Mark was eating a big thing of nacho cheese.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Remember Winnie the Pooh with the honey?
unidentified		By the way, I would like to say I've gone an hour without saying a curse word.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		By the way, I would like to say I've gone an hour without saying a curse word.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Woo!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's a record.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh yeah.
		You spent time with me today.
		You know.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, you got all out earlier.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, don't worry, in the members only segment, you'll just erupt into...
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Wait till you see my fans only page.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A litany of curses.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Hey, you gotta make money, man.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		So, I gotta make up for the Kroger thing, so I'm doing an only fans page.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Just kidding.
unidentified		Please don't.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What were we talking about?
		We were talking about Airbnb cracking down and I said, I think Democrats are faking.
		They're lying about getting vaccinated.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I absolutely think there's a lot of people not getting it who say they are getting it.
		I know personally people who have doctor friends who give the injection to an imaginary spot next to their shoulder.
		I know multiple people doing that.
		Look, when you start mandating things, you get People faking things when they don't want it.
		You get counterfeits and these are real cards.
		They're just not getting the needle in the arm.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I just think if there are Democrats who are going to go on TV and be like, everyone's got to wear a mask and then they don't.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		It's horrible.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I also think the same kind of people are going to be like, everyone's got to get vaccinated and then don't.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Well, ethics and hypocrisy, once you cross a certain ethical line, you've crossed that line, so it becomes your norm.
		So that's why you have to have those lines you don't cross.
		So once you start lying about one thing, and I tell this to my kids all the time, if you're lying about masks, you're doing something else, then you can be like, well, I could do this against this too, or I could do this about this too.
		And that's why I'm always one of those practice what you preach, if you don't believe it, don't say it kind of guys.
		Unfortunately, politicians are not the cream of the crop.
		You know, the cream of the crop is us.
		We're in the private sector, we're building businesses, we're employing people, and we probably have higher than average IQs.
		The people in Washington D.C.
		in politics, they're complete morons.
		Have you ever talked to these people?
		They're dumb!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Have you seen, there's a DCist, put out a tweet, I don't know if you guys saw it, and it said, this is what D.C.
		will look like if global warming stays on this path, and it showed D.C.
		flooded, and my response was, I'm not sure if this is pro-global warming or anti-global warming.
		Yeah, just...
		But I'll leave it there.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		These people aren't.
		That's why I'm like, when I see these kids, well, they're Pelosi and Biden, I'm like, dude, these people are dumb.
		Like, they're not the smartest people.
		If you've ever seen the movie by Chris Bell, Bigger, Stronger, Faster, they literally there was a guy, I think it was Waxman, who was a senator or a congressman in California who voted for the Steroid Act, whatever, to make him illegal.
		And they, when they asked him what steroids were or something, and he had no clue what he voted for.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's talk second amendment.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Look into the Elka.
		And so these people, there are people who read into it, like empty Marjorie Taylor green.
		She, she believes what she's saying and she's well-educated and versed on what she's doing.
		Thomas Massey.
		That's the guy right there.
		Rand Paul as well.
		These are smart people, but you look at a lot of these people, like they don't even show up for votes.
		They had that one MTG called him out.
		Marjorie Taylor green called him out where my own Senator from Tennessee didn't show up to a vote on justices, I
		believe it was. And it was horrible.
		And I'm like, oh, nobody from Tennessee is going to be on that list. And then there was
		a senator that I really, really like who no showed up. Your job is to vote. You don't
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		even work that much. Yeah. Go vote. How many months are the in session?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like they're out most of the year and then they show up for a little bit.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		It's disgusting.
		It's disgusting the way this has gone.
		And we just have a bunch of weak people who are funded by a bunch of really rich people making the laws.
		And people like us, like I was explaining earlier, I'm not going to run for office.
		I can't handle that because I'll be punching people on the floor and I will never make it past an election campaign.
		I won't make it.
		I'm not built for that.
		Instead, I'm going to affect the local level.
		I'm going to coach kids.
		But the smart people are out there like Elon Musk.
		You don't think that man can run a country?
		He's sending people to space.
		He's building generators.
		Like, okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think you need decentralized power.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm not, I'm not.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think Elon Musk can send people to space.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think he can make an electric car, but I don't know about telling people like, you know, effective policy.
unidentified		Can he do better than Nancy Pelosi though?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I mean, look, man, my, my eight year old son can do better than these idiots in office right now.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's because they're self-interested.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, if you could take, you know, some local custodian, as long as he's interested in doing the right thing for his neighbors in the country, he would do an infinitely better job than any one of these politicians.
		Absolutely correct.
		You've got a small handful out of, you know, the hundreds of members of Congress, a small handful.
		You got like Rand Paul, Thomas Massey, like people who actually believe what they're doing and look into these things and actually stand up.
		Most of them?
		It's really funny when I'm reading about members of Congress and I'm like, I have no idea who that is.
		It's like, oh, someone's being criticized for not doing their job?
		Like, who are these people?
		How are they even on any party?
		They don't do anything.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Sociopaths.
		There's a reason the most amount of sociopaths per capita are in Washington, D.C.
		And I want to go back to your original kind of point here, talking about how 25% of the cases are from New York, as according to the latest Google statistics from yesterday, there was 54,828 cases coming from the state of New York, specifically in New York City.
		28 cases coming from the state of New York, specifically in New York City.
		Nationally, there was 189,714 cases, so that's about 25% coming from New York City, specifically
		themselves, according to the statistics provided by Google.
		So I believe if it was Florida, it would have been a totally different story.
		If 25% of the cases came from Florida, the media would have been talking about it obsessively, but of course, they're not.
		But again, a lot of these people who are calling the shots, are working with the politicians, are working with the corporate media, and to me, there's more about pushing an agenda, pushing a narrative, than the truth.
		And these people are not here to serve you, and that's why it's very easy to say that anyone could do a better job than they will, because it's obviously true.
		Because when you have someone who is there serving the special interests, they of course are doing everything not to your advantage.
		So what they're doing is deliberately trying to screw you over, and they are.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I love how Pelosi was like, we should be allowed to trade stocks.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		She was asked about it, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they were like, you should block members of Congress from buying and trading stocks.
		She's like, no, we're private individuals, we can do this.
		And it's like, oh, okay.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		But you're not a private individual, you're a public servant.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They know there's a vote coming up.
		The lobbyists come to them and say, hey, if this bill passes, bad things will happen to this company.
		And then these politicians can be like, I'm gonna short this company, and then vote yes.
		And then they make tons of money because they are in control of it.
		It's corruption.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		How are these people so rich?
		Biden's worth tens of millions of dollars.
		It's not from speaking engagements.
		That's the question.
		You need to look at these people.
		He's been in office his whole life.
		47, 48 years.
		Bernie Sanders didn't really have a job until he was in his 40s.
		He was my age when he finally got a job.
		What job?
		Government.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'm pretty sure Bernie never had a job outside of government.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		So look at it this way.
		They're getting the money from somewhere, and it's not the $170K a year they're getting from us.
		So why are they multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-millionaires?
		And why aren't we mad?
		Like, why aren't we throwing chairs?
		We should be throwing chairs.
		We should have a national throwing chairs day and just start throwing chairs.
		Because at this point, it's insane that nobody's mad.
		Why am I the only one mad at this?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think a lot of people are just either not paying attention or they just think they're going to comply their way out of this.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, a lot of people believe the other side is so much worse.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		You know, picking between the lesser of two evils, people have been convinced that their side is better when in reality they're looking at absolute crap either way of the spectrum.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I see it all the time on Twitter, where these Democrats are like, Republicans did this or that in 2008.
		And I'm like, you really think Republicans today have anything in common with Republicans back then?
		I mean, there's people like Mitch McConnell for sure, but everybody hates him, you know?
		So I think the problem is people who don't read and people who do.
		I should say the tribes are.
		You've got the uninitiated people who live in Wall-E world on CNN and the people who actually challenge the narrative and are reading and trying to figure out what's really going on.
		But let's jump to this story, my friends, because none of it matters.
		None of it matters!
		It's happening.
		From the New York Post, NASA hired 24 theologians to study human reaction to aliens.
		The official narrative, I guess, or not the official narrative, but what people are saying is basically that NASA is trying to figure out how different people of different faith backgrounds will react to the knowledge of intelligent alien life in our, uh, existing.
		The first thing I'll say is, It's strange to me that there are people who believe aliens don't exist.
		In this massive of a universe, as big as it is, there's gotta be life somewhere, you know what I mean?
		Now whether or not it can travel the universe and come here and interact with us is a different story.
		The New York Post reports, between heaven and earth, where do aliens fit in?
		That's the question NASA hopes theologians at the Center for Theological Inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey can answer.
		University of Cambridge religious scholar, Reverend Dr. Andrew Davison, who also holds a doctorate in biochemistry from Oxford, is one of the 24 theologians enlisted to help.
		His upcoming book, Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine, due out in 2022, will cover part of the CTI and NASA's joint spiritual exploration.
		There's a question.
		Is it really happening?
		Are they preparing for aliens?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		You know who really gets credit in all this?
		Scientologists.
		They've had this right all along.
		They believe that aliens came down and the Church of Scientology wins.
		Oh yeah, there's aliens.
		Absolutely.
		And whether they came down or not, but literally, what was it, in 2020 the government's like, dude, There's UFOs.
		And we don't know what they are.
		Yeah.
		And the only one I saw really getting a, like, if I was a kid, like, and you told me that aliens and the Loch Ness monster were real and Bigfoot, I'd have been, I'd be running around the block naked telling everybody about it.
		Right.
		Like now it's like Joe Rogan was the only one like, dude, there's aliens.
		And that was it.
		And nobody cared.
		Well, there's absolutely aliens.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		When you have the government promoting the idea of aliens and Neil deGrasse Tyson, I just automatically think that they're preparing for the next PSYOP.
		I mean, the corporate media, the government, aliens, aliens, aliens.
		It used to be just people outside of the box talking about this, but now it's the establishment saying there's aliens out there.
		There's something out there that defies the laws of science, defies the laws of physics.
		We don't know what it is.
		That's absolutely mind boggling.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		So is Neil deGrasse Tyson now a part of the establishment?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I think so, absolutely.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		He's completely changed his tune.
		He's a genius.
		That dude's smart.
unidentified		Yeah.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I think he's getting paid.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Have you guys ever read Watchmen, the graphic novel?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I have not.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So it's different from the movie and the graphic novel is more relevant in this regard.
		In Watchmen, the bad guy simulates an alien attack to force global unity because it's the height of the Cold War and Russia and the US are going to fire missiles at each other and nukes.
		And so he stages an alien invasion, convinces everybody we have to unify to fight against it to stop War, right?
		Maybe that's the PSYOP.
		Convince everybody of the world that we need one world government because of an alien invasion.
		You ever see Independence Day?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I was just about to bring up, I think they did this movie with Will Smith before.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right, so Independence Day is, all the different countries are trying to, they're all independently fighting these aliens, and then they're like, send out the word, you know, here's how you take them out or whatever, we're gonna do a virus.
		In the sequel they did, the whole planet is a unified, it's one world government.
		Unified military, moon military base, in case the aliens come.
		That, I think, is... A lot of people thought COVID would do this, that this, you know, universal threat would unite everybody.
		I'm not convinced.
		I think if they actually did discover aliens, the left and the right would react and hate each other over it, and it would become another tribal issue.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, we have to explain why the government for decades and decades was like, aliens don't exist, you're crazy, you're a conspiracy theorist, you're out of your mind if you do, and then they just officially changed their stance, like, Oh yeah, they exist.
		They're out there.
		Why?
		What was behind this larger stance that essentially was 180 degrees in the opposite direction?
		So obviously a lot of people have those questions.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Did you hear Alex Jones recently?
		When he went on that rant and was like, I can't do it anymore!
		I'm gonna go to pre-record and just leave.
		And he was saying, he just started yelling and he was like, an alien intelligence is running this show!
		Or whatever.
		And I'm like, OK, look, you know, part of his rant was that he was mad people weren't standing up to tyranny.
		But then he mentioned like alien intelligence controlling everything.
		And I'm like, OK, now you lost me.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Alex Jones has a tendency to do that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But like, it's funny because then we get this story about NASA hiring theologians.
		There's an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation.
		Where Picard and the Enterprise crew are making first contact.
		In Star Trek The Next Generation, the Federation only contacts civilizations once they discover warp technology.
		Because it means they're about to start traveling the stars and going to other planets.
		And they'll soon be interacting with life in the universe.
		So they come to this planet where they just invent warp.
		And they're like, you need to consider what this will mean for your people and your planet.
		And the president of the country they go to basically says, we're a deeply religious people.
		This is too much for us too soon people would lose their minds if they discovered this hence The New York Post talking about theologians and needing to better understand this because I think a lot of people might lose their minds if aliens were here then the assumption is Aliens are here.
		They are involved and everything that's happening is related to some like alien Contact or something.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		We just don't know it yet Well, here's the thing.
		The government can literally say the opposite thing of what they said yesterday, and people believe it.
		Fauci literally came out and said, you don't need to wear masks.
		Don't need to wear them.
		They just get dirty.
		And then he's like, Schmutz, wear like three of them.
		And people like, yes, science.
		All the government has to do is say aliens.
		Science and people be like, Oh, Oh, they will forget.
		People are dumb.
		Like the Twitter generation.
		I say this because it's like, there's no history.
		Like it's the new cycle is like one minute.
		People have no short-term memory.
		It's like, they smoke too much weed.
		People are just, they don't remember anything.
		And this is long-term like area fifth was area 57 at Heinz 57, which is area 51.
		It's delicious.
unidentified		Can you tell I'm hungry?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's delicious.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		But anyway, can you tell I'm hungry?
		So, so at the end of the day, I think that people don't know about that whole alien thing.
		Like my generation was all about aliens.
		Aliens was my life.
		I'm like, I read books on aliens and I was like going to the library.
		Remember libraries?
		We had those before.
		I went to library.
		I'd check out these books on aliens.
		These kids don't remember that.
		Like for example, my wrestling team were out of tournament.
		I'm like, dude, beat that kid up like Hulk Hogan.
		Like who's Hulk Hogan?
		I'm like, You don't know who Hulk Hogan is?
		They have no idea about the alien stuff that went on.
		It'll be dudes like us who are too old to care.
		Like, I'm 41.
		You think a crazy 41-year-old talking about aliens is going to get anybody excited?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		When they were talking about UFOs and no one really cared, I was like, that's kind of it, right?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They're going to keep trickling out stories like this to desensitize people.
		And then in like two or three years, if they're really aliens, I'm not saying they are, they'll have to slow roll it.
		And then eventually one day they'll be like, oh, we saw a spaceship.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no. Sorry. Sorry. Go ahead. Finish. Eventually, they'll be like, hey, this is
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		B-Borp. He's really the one running this, calling the shots here. He was really under
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		President Biden's skin. Trump's going to be like, B-Borp was the greatest president ever.
unidentified		Everyone agrees. At least that's what I was told. If you don't believe in aliens, I just want you
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		to look up the name Lori Lightfoot. Now, that is a specimen right there.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You look at what's going on, and I think a lot of people want to believe in aliens, because you look at the seemingly coordinated effort that's been happening around the country.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Some people think it's, you know, the Illuminati or whatever, but Alex Jones was yelling, it was like an alien intelligence controlling all this stuff, and I'm like, yo, I don't know about any of that stuff, because it would mean that, like, Ron DeSantis isn't working with the aliens or something, so there's no coordinated alien—I don't know, man.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		There's a lot that the government knows that they're not releasing, that they're not getting out there to the general public, that still is classified, which is ridiculous.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I mean, we should at least know what's going on, but we should also be prepared for a potential PSYOP and for them to weaponize and use that information for their own benefit and their larger power grab.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's a great distraction, right?
		There's no evidence we've got aliens coming to Earth.
		There's Vermeer's paradox, there's a lot of speculation about it, but I think it's...
		It's funny to see these stories.
		It's fun to talk about absurdity.
		At least, at least, aliens are in the realm of possibility, unlike Don Lemon asking about whether or not an airliner was sucked into a black hole.
		Could there be aliens?
		Yes.
		Astronomically abysmal odds that anything like this is ever, you know... I'll tell you what's infinitely more likely.
		Is that the government needs distractions.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They need the people to get whipped up in a frenzy.
		If aliens ever came, the first thing I'd think is like, is that a government projection of a vehicle?
		Is it a drone?
		Are they just trying to screw with us?
		Because, look, until I see Beat Borp come out and then walk up to me and go, I'm gonna be like, I don't believe it!
		I don't believe it.
		I'll never believe it.
		Until I see BeatBorp himself.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm a whole nut hope, man.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		BeatBorp 2024.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Vote for him and satisfy the lizard people.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		So the aliens working with the lizard people?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		That's the question.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		The aliens are the lizard people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, no, the lizard people are from Hollow Earth.
unidentified		Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Or something.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Isn't that Stranger Things?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm so confused right now.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's upside down.
		I love these, you know, deep dive rabbit hole websites.
		I was reading one that claims there was a very intelligent species of dinosaur that fled into caves when, you know, the extinction event happened and survived.
		And they've been evolving for, you know, millions of years.
		So they're substantially more advanced than humans in their own underground cities.
		And there are people who believe that stuff, man.
		They believe they're underground cities of futuristic aliens.
		I'm sorry, they're terrestrial, but like lizard people or whatever.
		It's crazy.
		What was it?
		Oh yeah, I was watching The Simpsons.
		There was a clip when Bob Dole and Bill Clinton are Kang and Kodos.
		And then Homer Simpson's like, your politicians are actually green space lizards.
		And I was like, is that where the conspiracy came from?
		Or were they making fun of the conspiracy?
		Because it was like pre-internet, you know?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		A long time ago.
		A long time ago.
		Like, the Simpsons have gotten more things correct.
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's true.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Of all the things to get right, it's going to turn out that politicians are actually alien lizards?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm not... Like, here's the thing about 2020 and 2021.
		Nothing surprises me anymore.
		Like I used to be like, I can't believe that now.
		I'm like, yeah, okay, cool.
		It's Thursday.
		You know, you just, you see the most absurd things happen.
		People say the most absurd things and it just happens.
		And you're like, oh, it's just normal now.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		There's a super chat here by Julie Simone that is relevant to the argument we had about the yellow fever single shot dose saying that according to the CDC it is just a single dose.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I went to a doctor and he said it's a subcutaneous injection and you have to come back after six months and that if you get the second shot after six months it provides immunity for ten years.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's what I was told when I went to the doctor.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		But not every six months?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no.
		You get the shot, then you come back for a booster at six months, and then it's good for 10 years.
		At least that's what I was told.
		Yeah.
		Yeah.
		Let's go to Super Chats.
		If you haven't already, smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, go to TimCast.com, become a member, because at 11 p.m.
		at TimCast.com, we're going to have that members-only segment laden with profanity.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		A lot of profanity.
		I've been holding on.
		Oh, it is bubbling to the top.
		It is just like a volcano ready to erupt of F-bombs and S-bombs.
		I might even drop a few C-bombs.
		You guys got to join us.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Q-bombs and R-bombs and A-bombs.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to make up words.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		H-bombs, you want to make up words?
		All right.
		NoDice says, you've got some sick gains, man.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I think they're talking to you, Tim.
unidentified		No, they're not talking to me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I always skip arm day.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I only skate, so it's all leg day.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Dude, you're the opposite of everybody.
unidentified		It's true.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's the funny thing about people who skate is they have all the muscle mass in their lower body and none on their upper body.
		So their center of gravity is a lot lower, which is interesting because skating requires you want to keep your center of gravity low for balance and stuff.
		I just thought that was funny.
		It's like everybody does their arms and they skip leg day.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I actually trained legs right when I landed today.
		And, um, man, it was, it's just like at 41, you don't just get off the plane and train.
		And I should know better than that.
		I felt my age today.
unidentified		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We got Samuel here.
		He says, I miss Ian.
		It's not the same without him.
		Still a great episode.
		Love you guys and hope everyone had a good Christmas.
		I had a great Christmas.
		How was your guys' Christmas?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Really awesome.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh my God.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Best Christmas ever.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I went to a house at a Christmas party and they had a plate full of jalapeno poppers.
		It was jalapenos sliced in half, filled with cheese and wrapped in bacon.
		I ate eight of them.
		It was just so good.
		I couldn't stop.
		It was just too good.
		Two good poppers.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		We did, on Christmas Eve, it was actually, we celebrated, we did, we went bowling.
		It was so much fun.
		It was so much fun because there's this place, Kings Bowl in Franklin, Tennessee.
		And it was just, they have music.
		They had this like cool techno, like Christmas music.
		And I really liked my kids.
		So we had a good time.
		I never get to spend time with like all of them.
		It's always like one going to a soccer tournament here or there.
		And it was just good to spend time with my family and put my phone away.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Right.
		Kyle Miller says, Tim, just a reminder that Trump towers in NYC and Chicago were used
		in the filming of the best Batman film, the dark night.
		Yes.
		And lower Wacker, they called it lower fifth in the movie.
		I was staying at Trump tower because I had to.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I was like, you got it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If I'm going to, they've got hotels all over.
		I'm like, no, I'm a Trump, right?
		I want to go there and I want to see what it's cracked up to be.
		And Seamus was hanging out with us because he was in Chicago with his family.
		And he was like, we walk in, you know, I tell him, hey, come over.
		We're going to hang out.
		And he says, can I have these M&Ms, the mini bar?
		I'm like, yeah, sure.
		And he opens up the box.
		Inside the silver box was just a regular bag of M&Ms, to which he then eats.
		And then I checked the pricing and it was $7.
		Wow.
		Now, look, look, a lot of people, a lot of people were like, Tim, that's normal for mini bars.
		Well, hold on.
		I have been to many different hotels in my days, and I will tell you this.
		Most of the ones I've been to, and I've been to, like, the Intercontinental and the Four Seasons and things like that, they will have M&Ms, but they won't be called M&Ms.
		They'll be called, like, Madame Pomfrey's Magical Chocolate Delights, and it'll be, like, in a little glass jar wrapped in a bow, and it'll come from a local confectionery or something like that.
		Yes, there are places you go where it's like the minibar has a Snickers and M&Ms, but they're not $7.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Trump once again screwing over the American people for the benefit of the multinational corporations.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, I felt like it was perfectly Trump.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm too white trash to stay at those kind of hotels.
		Where I'm from, we get free water because we're frequent stayers.
		Shout out to Hilton.
		And yeah, they give you free water.
		You get to choose one of like five snacks.
		You get the beef jerky.
		That's good stuff.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They give you at the minibar a bottle of Trump wine.
		Cabernet Sauvignon or however you pronounce it.
		And from Trump Winery.
		And we decided to bring it to one of the family gatherings and it was a hit.
		Everybody loved it.
		No joke.
		I didn't even get to try it because they cracked it open and everybody just went nuts and just, like, they annihilated that Trump wine.
		And I was like, wow, must be good.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I need some Trump wine.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But then I did get to try it when we went back.
		They had more and I was like, I got to try this.
		People really loved the Trump wine.
		Here's the thing.
		I was like, If I bring this to a family gathering, are they going to get angry, or are they going to laugh?
		Because those are the two outcomes.
		There is no circumstance, in my opinion, in which someone goes, wow, a Trump!
		This is going to be fit!
		Everybody laughed, and they were like, oh, you're bringing a Trump wine, and it was funny, and it was silly.
		And then they really, really liked it.
		But there was no person who was like, oh, I'm impressed.
		Wow.
		A Trump 2018.
		This is amazing.
		No, he just thought it was funny.
		Nobody, nobody got mad about it, but there were some people who were like, I
		think some people might get offended.
		You know, you gotta watch out.
		It's it's family time and offended by wine.
		Anti-Trump never Trump or people are going to be like, what are you doing?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		And you know, I just like Biden.
		If you bought me some Biden wine, I'd be like, cool.
		Why?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		You know, I do think most people, regardless of the left or right, would
		have a sense of humor about it.
		But you never know some people get triggered, man.
		Just cause says toss away authoritarianism.
		Like it's a $7 bag of M&Ms.
		I made a video where I opened the box and I'm like, it's a bag of M&M's and then I throw it and someone commented, yeet, all caps.
		I guess they really liked the video.
		I just threw it on the ground.
		I was like, ah, $7 M&M's.
		We did not eat the second bag, but they probably charged us anyway.
		Let's see what we got.
		Kyle Ellis says, Tim, people in Chicago don't care about mask mandates because Chicago is clearly MAGA country.
		Yep.
		No, that's the crazy thing though.
		I mean, obviously it's not MAGA country, but people there were just not having it.
		It's funny when you go into places and some people just do it and some people don't.
		But when I walked into, I walked into the hotel and it's like, there's a big sign saying like, you have to wear a mask.
		And first of all, I'm like, I don't have one.
		I don't.
		And they were like, well, we can get you one.
		And I was like, the elevator is right there.
		And the amount of time it takes you to go and get me the mask versus me walking to the elevator, I'm going to beat you to the elevator.
		I'm going to be in my room.
		What are we supposed to do?
		Seriously, I don't have one.
		Should I wait outside while you go get it?
		I didn't, there was no speech like that.
		It was just, that's my mentality.
		I walk in and the guy's like, we can grab one.
		I'm like, I'm going to walk to the elevator.
		Okay.
		You walk to the elevator.
		But they, I came down, the front desk had them.
		I kept them in my pocket.
		No one said anything to me though.
		There were some circumstances where I wore it because I don't think it's that big of a deal, you know, but the problem I have with it is the logic.
		It's like walking to a restaurant for literally five seconds.
		I'm not even exaggerating.
		Five seconds.
		I open the door and there's a table 10 feet away and I go, one, one thousand, two, and I sit down and take it off.
		I'm like, why did that happen?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Well, logic and science obviously don't mix.
		Science.
		That's all you have to say.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Nirzana says, during small talk with a co-worker today, she mentioned that her sister wouldn't come to dinner with anyone who was unvaxxed.
		My co-worker said, we'll never go back to normal.
		People are demoralized.
		And that's why I say civil war so often.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I've heard the term national divorce.
		I don't know how that would work logistically.
		And I've heard you explain your side of it.
		And Honestly, I think we already kind of have a national divorce.
		You have people moving from blue states to red states.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But these are just more freedom-minded individuals.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So the ideological polarization is becoming geographical polarization.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That precipitates civil war.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you're right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's funny, man, because I keep saying stuff like this, and there are people who get mad about it, and then it's like, okay, after the Chazz, after the George Floyd riots, after the George Floyd autonomous zone, after January 6th, like, how much more do people need to be like, this country's on the verge of falling apart?
		And then you get Bill Maher who's like, but the Mason-Dixon line would go through Nana's Kitchen.
		Because the point he's trying to make is that our ideological split is internal with our families.
		Now you have this graph showing California, Illinois, and New York with a mass exodus
		to Florida, Texas, and other similar states.
		And that is the ideological polarization of Nana's Kitchen turning into geographical polarization,
		which deepens the ideological polarization.
		Because the echo chambers are becoming more intense, and when they do, people start becoming much, much more tribal and angry, and then there is a gap that cannot be bridged.
		It is happening.
		Maybe, maybe, it all ends right now.
		And the Proud Boy, Rick Attaria walks up to the leader of Antifa, whoever that would be, and they shake hands and they hug and they cry and say, it's time to stop fighting.
		We now are coming together for the sake of America.
		Is that going to happen?
		Are the Proud Boys going to walk up to Antifa and shake hands and sing and hold hands on a rainbow?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		It's the opposite.
		I got people on social media DMing me because I took a stand against something saying that, you know, their uncle or their grandma won't let them come over because they're not vaccinated.
		So you got people who might, dude, I mean, you might have been vaccinated.
		Well, if you're, yeah, if you're not, if you're, if you're not vaccinated, you cannot go there.
unidentified		Okay.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		So, you know, we have a situation where you might have families to be like, screw it.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to take out grandma.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh man, I hope it doesn't come to any of that stuff.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh no, I'm definitely hoping it doesn't.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But people in their own families are fighting with each other.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		They're hating each other.
		They're disowning each other.
		It's unlike anything I think I'd ever see over something as stupid as this.
		But here we are.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Look, the example I like to bring up is when I went to the Peace Wall in Belfast in Northern Ireland.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And you're familiar with the troubles in Northern Ireland.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh yeah, it's been going on since the beginning of time.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But it's toned down quite a bit.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh, a lot.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But on one side of the wall it's pro-Israel, on the other side it's pro-Palestine, and for seemingly no reason.
		Like, why do the people of Northern Ireland have a concern about the plight of Israel?
		Because one side adopted one issue and the other side took the opposite stance.
		That's what's happening in the U.S.
		Like, we have R.A.
		the Rugged Man on the show.
		And I literally say to him, I agree with you about racism.
		I myself have been a victim.
		And his response is to insult me, and deride me, and then go on the Young Turks, and they do the same thing.
		Quite literally, me saying, I agree with you on these problems of systemic racism, and I understand a little bit of it, turns into a tribal mockery, because it doesn't matter what the issue is.
		This is the challenge, I say, why I don't think there's a way out of this.
		If there are many people on the right who constantly, constantly, Ben Shapiro comes out.
		Everybody, you know, the vaccines are great and they're safe and effective.
		Ben Shapiro says it.
		They mock him.
		They insult him.
		And they call him an anti-vaxxer.
		Donald Trump comes out in an interview with Candace Owens and says, the vaccine's great, it's a huge accomplishment, everyone should get it.
		And then the left acts like it's the first time Trump ever said this.
		Yo, if there are people who are constantly trying to reach on an olive branch and the other side is swatting it away over and over again, I don't see a path out of here.
		Let's read some more.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm with you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, The Meaning of Nerd says, Hey Tim, I'm the guy who asked if I could use your song and make a philosophical analysis on it.
		Wanted to let you know that I made the video now and I'm really proud of it.
		It's a short video, so I would love it if you would check it out.
		Just search the philosophy of Tim Poole's Will of the People.
unidentified		I will.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Check it out.
unidentified		He's writing it down.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I am writing it down as we speak.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Confirmed.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		He's writing it down.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
		I will check it out.
		All right.
		Let's see what we got here.
		JN says, when has government kingdoms relinquished or rolled back power?
		Tim, you got discernment.
		Read Mark 24 and Thessalonian and Revelations, all books in the Bible.
		The book is future proof.
		Yeah, there's nothing more permanent than a temporary government program or policy.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Well, isn't the stuff you go through at the airport, wasn't that supposed to be temporary?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, of course.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		The whole TSA thing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Because I'm actually, maybe I'm conditioned to it, but with pre-check and everything, it's not terrible.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		It's not like back in the 80s and 90s, you could actually walk with your child to the gate, hold their hand as they walk onto the plane.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Or wait for your family to get off.
		Yeah.
		All right, let's see.
		Quagsire Esquire says, Mark is the goat.
		He put his money where his mouth was and made a stand on principle.
		Where can I buy your product now, sir?
		I need to support you.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Tigerfitness.com, T-I-G-E-R fitness.com is a great place.
		Also, any local vitamin shop, Hy-Vee, H-E-B.
		We have a lot of great partners through New York, Natural Body, Everybody Nutrition.
		We got a lot of amazing retailers out there.
		So many good retailers.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right on.
		Rancor says he said mandatory morning calisthenics.
		I thought of 1984.
		Dude doing his mandatory morning exercises where big brother could see good times.
		That's the joke.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The idea is how many lives would be saved if every person in order to get access, if you wanted to go to a diner, That's right.
		had a nap, you wake up in the morning or any point in the day, you have to do 30 minutes
		of calisthenics. And when you do your phone knows it tracks it and then says you've unlocked
		eating outside and going to the movies. Wouldn't that make sense? The same as these vaccine
		mandates. If it saves one life. That's right. Yeah, we don't do that. We can't do that.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Well, Tim, I just want to bring up that COVID is generally attacking people who are obese
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's more heavily impacting them.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		So here's the thing.
		It's attacking the weak.
		Obesity makes you weak.
		If we really cared, we'd do something about obesity.
		This was the greatest opportunity in American history to get people wakened up to lose weight and get into shape and better their odds at not dying.
		Instead, we locked them in their house, closed down gyms and delivered beer to their house.
		How absurd is this?
		So if we want to make a difference...
		Whether you're, if you're not fit, I want you to get fit.
		I want you to eat better.
		I want you to exercise more.
		I don't care what you do for exercise.
		Crossfit, ballet, bodybuilding, yoga.
		I don't give a crap what you do.
		Do that.
		If you are in shape, I want you to find someone who's not in shape, and I want you to mentor them, and I want you to work out with them, and I want you to help them.
		We can end this now.
		We just need to get into better health.
		Period.
		That will make our society much better.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Pee Pee Farm says, Just bought $90 worth of outright bars.
		I'm sick of companies not taking a stand.
		Support those who will.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh man, I love you.
		I really do.
		What is four million divided by nine?
		Just kidding.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's how many people need to start buying.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yes, we need a lot of people.
		I'm not playing.
		Thank you so much, man.
		I appreciate it.
		You'll enjoy it.
		Trust me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Richard says, Tim, I have a flight attendant and almost no one has Omicron.
		We're simply tired after two years of what's going on, and we just want to be home for the holidays.
		We don't get in trouble for Rona callouts.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		God bless.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So when the Southwest thing happened and everyone said it was a work stoppage and like a strike, I spoke with a pilot who said, it's none of that.
		There's no organized effort.
		Nobody set up a phone call saying everybody calling sick.
		People just calling in sick.
		When they came out and said mandates for vaccines, people just were like, I'm going to use as many sick days as I have left because they thought they were going to lose their job.
		So it wasn't coordinated.
		It's just what happened.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Hey, it's coincidence that worked out for the better, I guess.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		You Know Who says, was on United first class on 12-24.
		Stewardess harassed me the second my beer touched the armrest to raise my mask.
		I was so confused that I didn't even know she was talking to me.
		Man, crazy.
		I had no issues when I flew to Austin.
		Nobody said anything to me if my mask was down or up or whatever, like when I was eating food or like when I get to the bathroom.
		Not a single word from anybody.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		See, here's the thing.
		Have you looked at, like, maybe they just don't like you?
		Like, you gotta be nice to people.
		Like, if I go out, like, you'll notice I'm like, yes sir, yes ma'am.
		I'm cordial because I genuinely like people.
		So if you come on the plane and you go to, hey, how are you doing today?
		Awesome, great weather outside.
		Make small talk, make conversation.
		Maybe she just didn't like you and she was harassing you.
		I'm just being devil's advocate.
unidentified		Well, people can't make conversations because it's like, how are you?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		How's it going?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's like, the mask prevents that.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		With my eyes, they make love to you.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Trying to have conversations, like I go to a restaurant.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I can't, I can't understand a word you're saying, man.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		With the Plexi, so I'm at Costco and we don't have to wear masks.
		I don't know how it is at Costco out here.
		So they have the Plexiglas and the mask and all the ambient noise around you.
		So what I do is I go around the Plexiglas and I'm like, I can't hear anything you're saying.
		What are you saying?
		It's like Kenny from South Park.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Not a bad point.
		I stopped doing Disney stuff.
		believe in his ideals then stop going to Disney and Marvel movies. These companies hate our values
		and support this mandate crap. You know, honestly, that is a good point. Not a bad point. I stopped
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		doing Disney stuff. I my last trip to Disney was after the Mr. Olympia, my business partner play
		second. And we went to Disney as families. And it was when they had the mask thing and it was
		miserable. It's 80 something degrees out. We have these friggin diapers over our face. I'm like,
		I can't do this. And it was weird because Winnie the Pooh was behind a fence with a mask on.
		Weird. It was.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That is a truly good point.
		There's a challenge in that if I want to know what these movies and videos are about, I have to watch them.
		So it's hard to just be like, I'm going to completely cut out all this content from my life and then not know anything about it.
		So when issues come up, I'll be like, oh.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		You're true.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But it is true.
		So I will say, like, I don't have a Netflix account.
		I got rid of that over the cuties thing.
		That's not coming back.
		So I don't care for Netflix.
		I think it's trash anyway.
		But, uh, Disney, I do have, I do have, and I did cancel before, and then I signed up again because, I can't remember what happened, but I was like, something happened where they did something I thought was good, and I was like, if they do something good, I'll sign back up.
		If they do something bad, I'll cancel it.
		But the other challenge, too, is like, I want to be able to watch these shows and then talk about what they're pushing out there, what they're telling people.
		If we all cancel- if everybody canceled- this is one of the challenges.
		If everybody canceled Disney, they would just double down on all of their garbage content.
		So it is- it is not- I don't know.
		I don't have all the answers, man.
		But I can say I actually agree with Polymer about boycotting Disney and Marvel movies.
		Maybe it's to boycott the movies that are actually pushing the garbage.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Warren B says, did anyone watch the movie Don't Look Up on Netflix?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I did.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How was it?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I think it's great.
		I think, look, politics aside, I think Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the greatest actors of all time.
		So he lives the role.
		Like, here's the thing.
		Like, The Rock is The Rock in every movie, just saying different lines.
unidentified		Right.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Leo DiCaprio and Will Smith and actors like that, they literally become the part.
		So maybe I'm just enamored with Leo DiCaprio as an actor.
		But I genuinely enjoy that movie.
		I do.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It was a good movie.
		It was kind of a play on idiocracy, which is pretty interesting.
		I'm not gonna spoil it.
		I'm like some people who spoil movies here, I'm not gonna mention who, but it's actually, I definitely, it was thought-provoking.
		Enjoyable.
		And interesting.
		It's different than a lot of other movies.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's about, what is it, space rocks gonna slam into earth and no one cares?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Basically, yeah, and the scientists are out there trying to scream, they're trying to work with the White House for it, not giving anything away.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's a critique of the government and the media.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And society.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It just sounds like they're complaining about climate change.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, you could make any interpretations you want with it.
		Some people would make climate change, some people would say COVID, some people would say energy policy.
		There's a lot of different interpretations you could give to it, but it's based on an asteroid.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		And even if there is ulterior motive, like obviously my opinions are based on education, it was entertaining.
		If you're based and you believe in what you believe in and you're not big on climate change, it's not going to convert you.
		It's not gonna be like, oh my god!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		But they didn't mention climate change.
unidentified		No, they didn't.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's up for interpretation.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Did you guys see Ryan Long's new sketch?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Hilarious.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right wing sponsors versus left wing sponsors.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I didn't.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's really good.
		He's like, the Patriot podcast, he's like, we've got this jug of water, it's just freedom water for people who like freedom.
		And then the left wing guy is like, I'm gonna talk to you about fair trade coffee, the segment brought to you by McDonald's.
		He was really, really good.
		I thought that was fantastic.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It was procured locally through diversity hires.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Was it Tyler Fisher?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Local diversity hires.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Tyler Fisher, I think, was the one working with him.
		He also does really great work and shouts out to him.
		We should maybe even try to get him on the show.
		I think that would be awesome.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then one of my favorite parts is when the left-wing guy is like, in his show, he goes, I don't like that Bunker Ties advertises on the Patriot podcast.
		And then it shows Ryan Loggin.
		He's like, Unfortunate news, Bunkertizer is no longer advertising on us.
		I thought that was great.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Tyler Fisher was the left-wing guy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		He's another comedian that does great stuff.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's funny how right-wing companies will stop sponsoring right-wing shows because left-wing people who don't buy their product complain about it.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		And it's not enough people to really matter.
		It's literally Twitter.
		And if your company is based on your sales on Twitter, you're screwed anyway.
		I think they see Twitter as a bigger thing than it is.
		I really do.
		Like the Twitter mob's not going to put you out of business.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
		All right.
		Jackson H says, big news.
		Steve Bannon becomes a strategic partner with the blockchain media cryptocurrency FJB.
		He is both invested in the movement as well as the functionality of the crypto itself.
		There's not a meme crypto.
		It's a movement crypto.
		Well, all right, then.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		I'll be sure to invest heavily in that.
		I'm taking out all my 401ks.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		FJB coin.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my goodness.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Christopher N. says, Tim, my little brother wouldn't come over for Christmas because I'm unvaxxed.
		I've seen him twice in two years and he lives only an hour away.
		He's a lefty ever since he went to college.
		I've lost a brother.
		It's crazy to me that people genuinely think they're going to die.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		The media scares them.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I say it's worth having those conversations.
		It's worth not giving up on your family members.
		It's worth doing your best to try to inform them because it's your duty as a loved one.
		If you're close to someone and they're going down the path that is going to eventually lead them to getting hurt or screwed over by the establishment, it's your duty from my perspective, my opinion, I might be wrong, that you got to help save these people from understanding and seeing the real world.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm about removing toxicity and your brother's stupid.
unidentified		Good point.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		You have a point, and you might be right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We got an important one here.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Stephen Almaraz says, Mark, how much push-ups do you do?
unidentified		I use dumbbells.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I use dumbbells and heavy weights.
		I train a lot.
		Recently, two weeks ago, I earned my IFBB Pro card, which was a huge undertaking.
		It took me 41 years to get it.
		I train my butt off, man.
		I train really hard.
		A lot of work.
		You know, just like today, my priority when I landed, I knew I had time, was to get to the gym.
		So, it's a lot.
		So, there's different levels of fitness.
		Like, you can be in great shape and look phenomenal training three days a week.
		Now, to get to the level I'm at takes years and years and years of eating a certain way and training a certain way and a lot of other things.
		So, it's... I do a lot of exercise.
		It's a lot.
		It's a huge amount.
		Now Tim, however, this dude was skating like I've never, like he did, what was that an hour and a half?
		Insane.
		I would have died at like the 10 minute mark or at least broken something.
		See, there's different levels of athleticism.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that... I don't know.
		I could have skated longer, but I have to work.
		I used to skate for 8 hours a day.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Insane.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it was really brutal.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Insane.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I would... I would be so... I'd be drenched.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it was crazy.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		That's awesome.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now it's about an hour a day if, you know... So, sometimes... Sometimes if it's like a busy day, I'll get a half an hour on the half-pipe.
		But, uh, rollerblading and skateboarding.
		So, you know, start with the easy stuff, which is just jumping up and getting airs on the blades, and then I switch to the board and I do the more technical stuff after I'm all warmed up.
		Man, that's good fun.
		I love that thing.
		Just jumping really high and getting air.
		That's what it's all about.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		That would scare me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Ninja Man Fire H says, well, the highlight of my holiday was being told I am no longer welcome to spend time with my family because of my VAC status.
		The split is real.
		I've heard many similar things, man.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That's crazy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Max Jones says, let's go beat bort.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		We're super chatted for that.
unidentified		I love it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How come alien names are always like with an X and a Z and they can't just be like, you know, like Kyle.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, or not even like Kyle, but like it's always got to be a Z, X, or a Y or something.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's so foreign.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's not used a lot.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That's why it's like new.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		It's alien.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, like calf.
		Like, why does it got to be Z?
		It's like, oh, someone, some sci-fi guy wrote, you know, Z-Borp.
		And it's like, oh, what about like Bob-Op?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Calls himself Butt-Cheek.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's like the Rick and Morty joke where the gas alien is like, I like that word, fart.
		That's right.
		calls himself.
		Spridge Bandersnatch says, you should ask Seamus to do a Poole family Thanksgiving
		sketch, a la his Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro bits, that would be hilarious,
		except Seamus lacks the ability to imitate Tim Poole.
unidentified		That's right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he can't do it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's tried, doesn't work.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's not easy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He can't imitate Joe Rogan either.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Really?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's very hard to impersonate Joe Rogan.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I'm sure it is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		There's a few people that it's really hard to get.
		Trump is actually fairly hard.
		I've seen people who are really good at Trump.
		But some people are really easy.
		I think Alex Jones is really easy to impersonate.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's about like the way they speak.
		And if it's a very unique, you know, it's very unique, it's really easy to get.
		But if someone has kind of just like a... I don't know what the right word is, but...
		Average style of talking.
		It's really hard to impersonate.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I don't know.
		Maybe Seamus can pull it off.
		I'm not sure.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know if he can.
		Maybe he can, maybe he can't.
		Bomchu says, I own a location-dependent small business in Southern Illinois, so my best hope would be, is the state breaking in half or possibly just pushing Cook County into the lake?
		Oof, like Atlanta did in Futurama.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Outside of Cook County, Illinois is pretty red.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Very red.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You get to Page, you know, and it starts getting a little bit more red.
		But you go south and it is red.
		It is a red state with a blue city in it.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		They're farmers.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		It's rural.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Nathaniel Meeks says, left-wing complaints about right-wing companies causing right-wing companies to change positions from non-customers sounds a lot like those wussies over at Black Rifle Coffee.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		That was, I saw that.
		I don't know the whole story of it, but I grifted on it a little because I sell a little coffee here and there.
		But, uh, you know what?
		You just have to stay.
		If your name is Black Rifle, you gotta be Merica no matter what.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What I heard was that the New York Times made a claim about what Black Rifle Coffee said, and that it was not true.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It was fake news.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Where's the lawsuit then?
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I would have sued the pants off.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But it's, but it's, you can't.
		This is the, this is the thing, man.
		These, these news organizations are very, very clever.
		You could make a statement and they'll frame it in a way to change the context of what you said.
		My understanding was, and I don't know anything about it to be completely honest, was that they made a comment the New York Times misframed and then everyone got mad at them and they were like, dude, why do you guys believe the New York Times?
		They're fake news!
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Okay, then I take it back.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I don't know.
		I'm not trying to defend them as if I know.
		I don't know.
		I'm just saying that's one thing I've heard.
		So trying to give the other side here.
		Not that I don't have Black Rifle coffee.
		I've never even tasted it.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		I've never tried it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I don't know anything about it.
		All right.
		Rick M says, why stop at Marvel, Disney, et cetera?
		The biggest change could come from not buying Chinese products.
		It would impact the future the most.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		You can't stay in business without buying Chinese products.
		That's what people who don't own businesses don't realize.
		We do not have the manufacturing capabilities in any other country, including America, to replace China.
		China is an invaluable resource.
		We have to have trade with China or we hurt as much as they do.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Unless we start slowly pushing towards bringing back manufacturing.
marc lobliner ▲ ● ▼		Well, we need to push towards bringing back manufacturing and make the choices when you can.
		I can't cut off China.
		No business owner from a local cookie store to a friggin' larger company like mine can cut off China.
		What we can do is select things.
		For example, our clothing went from China to domestic in Pakistan.
		So there are ways to get around China, but cutting off China as you type into your smartphone or your computer that's probably made in China, you know, we can't do it.
		We are too reliant on China right now.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we should be working with India dramatically, geopolitically, but we're not for some reason.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And the foreign policy of America is pushing India away towards Russia's hand.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, everybody, if you haven't already, smash that like button right now!
		Do it for Ian, who's not here today, and he can't be here to ask, so smash that like button for him.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Who's gonna make the BeBORP 2024 shirt first?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		My guys are already on it.
		I got great designers.
		I'm like, I'm talking to them right now.
		It's like, nice.
		I love it.
		It's going to be, I think it's going to be Let's Go Beep Borp 2024.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's Go Beep Borp.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I like that one too.
		I just want to say, Tim mentioned earlier that there's no thing, nothing more permanent than a temporary government program.
		And he failed to mention that the Social Security Administration was initially temporary.
		So just so you know, it was supposed to be temporary.
		So in case you're curious what we're getting into, I'm a little bit worried about that, but I guess we'll have to see what happens.
		You guys may follow me on Twitter at Sour Patch Let's.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is a holiday week.
		Man, the week prior, nobody's working.
		People are still not working.
		I'm surprised we're working.
		We're not going to be here Friday because it's New Year's Eve.
		And to be honest, it's just impossible to get people to want to come on a show because they're like, dude, I'm going partying.
		Are you nuts?
		And so everybody should go out and have a good New Year's Eve celebration.
		That being said, we will be back tomorrow and we will see you all in the Members Only segment at TimCast.com.
		11 p.m.
		Thanks for hanging out.
