This is the weirdest thing. | |
| This report comes out from NBC claiming that Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, answered the door for the cops. | ||
| And then he calmly walked back to the crazy dude who told the police everything's fine. | ||
| Then the crazy dude cracks him over the head with a hammer. | ||
| NBC then deletes the video, resulting in everyone being like, yo, what's going on with this? | ||
| The story keeps changing and no one can tell us what really happened. | ||
| So, of course, no one believes it! | ||
| We're gonna talk about that. | ||
| And then we gotta talk more about Elon Musk, because apparently that's the only thing that happened for the past two weeks. | ||
| Elon got rid of his transparency, accountability, the moderation team members, and the entire curation team. | ||
| Fired half the staff, locked them out. | ||
| We got the emails. | ||
| It's just absolutely nuts. | ||
| Now, there was like a lawsuit they filed against him. | ||
| Alright, this one's getting interesting. | ||
| Elon's tweeting up a storm saying they're trying to destroy the company even though nothing's changed. | ||
| They're still moderating hate speech, but tons of advertisers are pulling out and they're losing $4 million per day. | ||
| So, that's why he fired people. | ||
| The funny thing is all these woke activists who are complaining caused advertisers to freak out, caused Twitter to lose money, and cost them their jobs! | ||
| I'd like to give a slow clap to you guys, because you did it to yourselves. | ||
| And now they're complaining, like, why am I getting fired? | ||
| Because you gutted your own company's revenue. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| We're gonna talk about all of that, my friends, but first, here's what we gotta do. | ||
| If you go over to PopVortex, we released a song at about 9am this morning, you guys heard us talking about it, Genocide, Losing My Mind. | ||
| We, around, I think it was 4.20 or 4.30 today, displaced Taylor Swift on the iTunes Top 100, taking the number one spot away from the current number one hit song on the Billboard Hot 100. | ||
| So I want to say thank you to everybody who listened to the song, who bought the song on iTunes. | ||
| Now, as much as we just hit number one and we've been sitting there for several hours, Taylor Swift, of course, is Taylor Swift. | ||
| She got wind of her back. | ||
| You know, we're promoting the song in our video content. | ||
| She's just naturally massively famous. | ||
| So if you haven't already got the song, you can pick it up on iTunes. | ||
| It's 69 cents. | ||
| You can go to losingmymind.com, watch the video, listen to the song, We're getting tremendous feedback, and really, if you haven't seen the music video, you gotta watch it, because we've got Taylor Lorenz, Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, and more, and Alex Jones, in this video, legally distinct from guests or featured players, they're just in the video, because, you know, we're making them sing for us, basically, I'll put it that way. | ||
| But considering y'all helped us in a matter of eight hours hit number one on iTunes and helped us displace Taylor Swift, and no beef Taylor Swift, I am saying this because she is the biggest right now. | ||
| She has the top 13, I think it is, on the Hot 100. | ||
| She is the biggest! | ||
| And we actually got our song to displace her on iTunes, so that's a sign of respect for Taylor and the work she did, and the fact that we're impressed that, with your help, we were able to get to the top. | ||
| So what we're gonna be doing is we got everybody who, almost everybody, who helped put the song together. | ||
| Before we get started, we are going to re-crack that Louis XIII that we cracked open. | ||
| It's a very expensive bottle of cognac. | ||
| We broke it open when Elon Musk successfully took over Twitter. | ||
| Joining us today to talk about the news and more, of course, is Pedro Gonzalez. | ||
| How's it going, man? | ||
| You want to introduce yourself? | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Happy to be back. | ||
| It's been a while. | ||
| I'm a writer and editor at Chronicles Magazine, and that's about it. | ||
| I'm a polemicist. | ||
| I make people angry on Twitter. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| And then of course, just very quickly, joining us to celebrate with this Louie, we got Luke, we've got Ian, Serge, Kellen, Carter Banks, who produced the song, he's also in the video as well, my brother who helped make the video happen, and of course my girlfriend who helps run the company. | ||
| So now we're going to take this epic bottle of louis the 13th if you're not familiar google it it is very nice and this is a celebration and my thanks to everybody in the room who is uh helping make all this possible and who helped put this video together we'll see how the song does uh the first song we put out only ever wanted was totally apolitical and it did really well it we it's our first song or our second song really and it ends up hitting billboard you know on a bunch of different charts | ||
| We're actually looking at the metrics right now and it looks like this song is going to do better. | ||
| So if you guys want to just start pouring the Louis. | ||
|

|
Who's first? | |
| Who's going to who's going to come up? | ||

I've never had this before. | |

| I'm reading about it here. | ||
| Louis the 13th. | ||
| Cognac, right? | ||
| Oh, it's a cognac. | ||

| Louis the 13th. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to take a louder whistle. | |
| And don't spill it. | ||
| We got a wide shot playing right now? | ||
| Yeah, trying to get it. | ||
| Trying to get it sorted out right now. | ||
| Just gotta zoom. | ||
| Zoom a little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
| And I just want to give a special shout out to Taylor Swift, who's an awesome musician. | ||
| Taylor, I'm looking forward to working with you in the future, man. | ||
| Let's make another number one hit together. | ||
| Can I also highlight this for all you guys? | ||
| This is our Louder with Roberto Bug Club mug. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Crowder, they also wrote about the song and put it on their website, so shout out. | ||
| This is our spoof of Loud Earth Crowder. | ||
| Bug Club. | ||
| Roberto, you know we like our chickens and our roosters. | ||
| A fine cognac. | ||
| Alright, who's next? | ||
| This is a lot. | ||
| I'm coming around. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know how... Oh, that's a good amount. | ||
| That's a good amount? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa! | |
| Smells like Band-Aids! | ||
| Who still needs some? | ||
| I'm such a pleb. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We got everybody? | |
| That's good. | ||
| I'm so glad I got that reaction right there. | ||
| That was a good one, Ian. | ||
| Look like you're drinking it in, yeah. | ||
| Don't drink it yet! | ||
| You gotta, cheers! | ||
| I'm just getting drunk from the smell. | ||
| You gotta celebrate your victories. | ||
| Look how much was spilled! | ||
| Like, a vanilla. | ||
| Party foul. | ||
| It's like $100 worth of Louis XIII. | ||
| Let's find out why. | ||
| Alright, everybody! | ||
| Cheers, Tim. | ||
| Nice work, man. | ||
| Cheers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cheers, y'all. | |
| Cheers, cheers, cheers. | ||
| Cheers all around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cheers, sir. | |
| We're not gonna make it. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It's the best we can. | ||
| I'll take the bottle. | ||
| I think Luke is just constantly trying to find excuses for drinking the Louis and celebrating. | ||
| You gotta celebrate your victories, right? | ||
| So I think there's a number of news stories today that we should be drinking towards. | ||
| Keep that on the table there. | ||
| I agree you should celebrate victory. | ||
| Thank you, Ian. | ||
| I don't like to celebrate dates. | ||
| I've kind of gotten away from the whole, hey, it's December 25th, let's all party just because it's a day. | ||
| But when you earn it, that's when it's worth it. | ||
| The worse it tastes? | ||
| I thought it was actually really good. | ||
| Headphones? | ||
| Nothing in your headphones? | ||
| There should be one in there. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Seriously, everybody who's listening, I am seriously, eternally grateful to all of you who support and continue to support our work. | ||
| It was, you know, when we released Only Ever Wanted, it took 12 hours for us to hit number two on iTunes, and that's the best we did. | ||
| And then I knew that if we put out something that was more political because we had this one in in production and right before the election we probably do way better but everyone's you know a lot more people are it's a better response people are saying the songs they like this one better because it's like you know boppier and poppier and all that stuff so I just want to say thank you for helping make all this possible. | ||
| Without all of you, this would be meaningless. | ||
| Without the human experience, without support from our fellow man and everything, I'd just be living in the woods with a pointy stick and a dog or something. | ||
| And thank you to Carter and Ian for working on it. | ||
| Carter especially for doing all the heavy lifting. | ||
| Thanks for having me. | ||
| And Kent. | ||
| I know Kent's not here because he doesn't live out here, but Kent Welling did all the heavy lifting on the video. | ||
| We filmed for like an hour. | ||
| Now we send the footage over to Kent, who puts this whole thing together super quick and it is just, it was an absolutely incredible production. | ||
| And a special shout out to Wambo.ai. | ||
| They are the company that took the pictures of these media personalities and then made them sing for us that we could put in the video. | ||
| So you can check it out at losingmymind.com. | ||
| We have right here, you can see the video if you want to pull that up real quick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| We're inside breeding, concocting all the lies that we use to control your minds. | ||
| And then you can see we have a nice little feature. | ||
| Look at that face! | ||
| So anyway... Can you play a little bit of it? | ||
| For the show? | ||
| Just to give them a little taste? | ||
| I'll just play a tiny bit. | ||
| This is the song you guys gotta go listen to. | ||
| Institutions made to control your lives. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're inseparated, concocting all the lies that we use to control your mind. | |
| Break free from control reality, and find your way from this. | ||
| To get away from it, I'm losing my mind. | ||
| All right, we'll wrap that up and we'll get on with the news and talk about the craziness, but... It sounds even better in the headphones, I gotta say. | ||
| Sounds really good. | ||
| Really good. | ||
| But forgive the extended early opening segment talking about this. | ||
| I just wanted to make sure I said thank you to you guys, and we did the celebration to thank everybody who put stuff together. | ||
| So that being said, Pedro we introduced, if we want to just get to it. | ||
| Luke's hanging out. | ||
| I got the message perfectly for today's show and it says being happy and healthy is a revolutionary act. | ||
| Celebrate your victories. | ||
| Happy Friday because essentially there is a war on your immune system and your mental health. | ||
| Make sure you're fighting it as best as you can by being happy and healthy. | ||
| And if you like that message you could get the shirt on thebestpoliticalshirts.com because you do. | ||
| That's why I'm here. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| Introducing. | ||
| Hey guys, thanks for having me. | ||
| Tim, thanks for having me be a part of the song. | ||
| Carter, nice work, man. | ||
| I really want to point people at the music tonight. | ||
| Looking forward to talking with you guys about whatever comes up. | ||
| Yeah, we got a big show because the table is completely full. | ||
| We got Carter hanging out as well. | ||
| Yeah, you know, I've been mixing in a cave for a little bit, but I'm also here for a reason and would love to talk some politics. | ||
| Where can people find you? | ||
| They can find me on Instagram, CarterBanks4L, and the rest, YouTube, Twitter, is just at CarterBanks. | ||
| Sounds good! | ||
| We got Serge pressing all the buttons. | ||
| Yeah, running around here. | ||
| And there's another guy in the corner with the wide shot. | ||
| You can see that's Kellen. | ||
| We have a full room and it's all dudes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sausage fest here, guys. | |
| We have a full room and it's all dudes. | ||
| Yeah, real sausage fest. | ||
| Sausage fest here, guys. | ||
| I was thinking it, but you said it. | ||
| Alright, let's get into this first story and just, let's roll with it because you know | ||
| NBC News mysteriously pulls its exclusive report on how Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, calmly opened the door to cops in his underpants and then walked towards the hammer intruder who bludgeoned him. | ||
| I mean, that's basically it. | ||
| They deleted this video. | ||
| But, okay, we got it. | ||
| There's so much to break down. | ||
| First, the story was an unknown third person opens the door. | ||
| They walk in. | ||
| Paul Pelosi and this guy are fighting over a hammer, and the guy gets it and hits him, and then the cops are like, oh, and they subdue him. | ||
| Then the story changes. | ||
| There's no third guy. | ||
| The cops came in and saw them fighting. | ||
| Then the story changes again. | ||
| Now, you've got Paul Pelosi opening the door and calmly walking back to this guy. | ||
| If he was really facing an intruder or being threatened, he would have walked out. | ||
| He would have opened the door for the cops and said, please, officer, that's the guy, and he would have walked with the cops, not away from the cops. | ||
| So the question is, did NBC News delete this report because this report was fake news? | ||
| Or was there other reporting fake news and this is the real news? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| NBC said for the record specifically by the way it matters here what they said in this report that's now deleted and people can't find other than of course the saved videos that are being shared on social media but they said specifically that Paul Pelosi quote did not immediately declare an emergency Or tried to leave his home but instead began walking several feet back into the foyer towards the assailant. | ||
| There's also reports from that NBC program that this was something that was going on for over 30 minutes. | ||
| Again, why can't they get their story straight here? | ||
| Why did they delete this? | ||
| What is really going on here and the ... people who are asking questions were right all along ... but but this is this gets even deeper because NBC just ... released another article another report and the ... headline of it is quote the GOP has Paul Pelosi's blood on ... his hands I mean come on I mean just when you're trying ... to manipulate an event for your own personal political ... benefit now we have such outrageous lies and confusion ... and and so many different versions of events here what's ... | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| I think this is just as bad as 9-11. | ||
| This is racist 9-11. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Even worse. | ||
| This is worse than January 6th. | ||
| Way worse than 9-11 and January 6th and Pearl Harbor. | ||
| Look, who hasn't been caught wrestling on the floor with some guy in his underwear and a hammer when his wife's not home in his house? | ||
| If that hasn't happened to you, you can throw the first stone, okay? | ||
| Yeah, but now they're saying the guy wasn't in his underpants. | ||
| Right, why? | ||
| They said he was in his underpants, and then they found zip ties. | ||
| And then people went, where did he put the zip ties? | ||
| And they went, uh, he had a backpack. | ||
| They're like, so he had a backpack in his underpants. | ||
| Well, he wasn't in his underpants. | ||
| That clears up everything. | ||
| Release the cameras! | ||
| They have cameras. | ||
| They won't release them. | ||
| This all could end if they release the footage, and the fact that they won't, I think, says something. | ||
| What it says, I don't know. | ||
| But I mean, you can go back to the 911 call, and what does Paul Pelosi say? | ||
| His name is David, and he's my friend. | ||
| He says, I don't... Well, he didn't say that. | ||
| The cop is reporting what he heard. | ||
| And so, the cop is like, he says he doesn't know the male, but his name is David, and he's a friend, and he's gonna wait for his wife. | ||
| Now, it makes sense that the story was Paul dialed 911 without letting the dude know and then was talking loudly in code, saying something like, I don't know you, and the guy was probably like, don't worry, I'm a friend. | ||
| I want to talk to Nancy. | ||
| I wonder if the real story was this guy is a leftist. | ||
| He's got BLM in his window. | ||
| He's got a pride flag. | ||
| He lives with Berkeley hemp hippies. | ||
| I wonder if he was like, I need to talk to Nancy. | ||
| Like, she's gonna help me. | ||
| Do you remember when that guy climbed Trump Tower? | ||
| And he said, I need to talk to Trump. | ||
| He was a supporter. | ||
| He wasn't a hater. | ||
| I wonder if that's what happened. | ||
| And then when Pelosi calls the cops, he's thinking like, everything's fine. | ||
| And then the dude ends up hitting him or something. | ||
| Or how about this? | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| I got another story for you. | ||
| What if the police hit Paul Pelosi? | ||
| What if what really happened is Paul did call the cops? | ||
| No, no, don't hear me out. | ||
| What if Paul called the cops, and the cops rush in freaking out, break the glass, kick the door in, and then see Paul in his underwear, hit him, knock him down, and then go, oh, crap, that was the homeowner. | ||
| And hold on, that would explain why they said the intruder was in his underwear, it was an unknown man who answered the door. | ||
| And now they're changing their story. | ||
| He could have been drunk and rowdy and out of control. | ||
| And they were like, hey, bring in the hobo down the street. | ||
| We got to blame this on somebody. | ||
| But who knows what happened here? | ||
| That's another possibility here. | ||
| And maybe they brought him. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't want to get too conspiratorial. | ||
| What if Paul does call the cops, and when he sees the cops, he runs to the door yelling or doing something frantic, and the cops just BOOM right in the face? | ||
| I wouldn't necessarily blame the cops. | ||
| It's a bad thing if the cops just struck a guy. | ||
| But if you get a call, there's a home intruder, and there's a crazy man in my house, and then you walk up and you see a dude in his underwear coming towards you frantic and yelling, the cops are gonna be like, BACK UP! | ||
| And they're gonna hit you. | ||
| They put the guy down. | ||
| Paul Pelosi goes down, hits his head, and they go, oh crap. | ||
| Could we play the NBC report? | ||
| Because it was very telling. | ||
| I don't know if we have it. | ||
| Do we have it? | ||
| It's all over social media. | ||
| It's all over Twitter. | ||
| I tweeted it out, of course, and I got it out there. | ||
| But they also reported that the police officers didn't know the severity of the situation, didn't know that it was Paul Pelosi. | ||
| And that's again, just extremely unlikely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just arrived here at the Pelosi home exactly a week ago today. | |
| They initially didn't have any idea exactly what was going on. | ||
| They knew they had a high priority call on their hand. | ||
| What was unclear, what was happening inside the property just behind me. | ||
| This morning, Paul Pelosi is home back at the house that became a crime scene a week | ||
| ago today. | ||
| NBC News learning new details about the moment police arrived. | ||
| Sources familiar with what unfolded in the Pelosi residence now revealing when officers responded to the high-priority call, they were seemingly unaware they'd been called to the home of the Speaker of the House. | ||
| How? | ||
|
unidentified
|
After a knock and announce, I doubt that. | |
| The front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi. | ||
| The 82-year-old did not immediately declare an emergency or try to leave his home. | ||
| Why? | ||
| But instead began walking several feet back into the foyer, toward the assailant and away | ||
| from police. | ||
| It's unclear if the 82-year-old was already injured or what his mental state was, say | ||
| sources. | ||
| According to court documents, when the officer asked what was going on, defendants smiled and said everything's good. | ||
| But instantaneously, a struggle ensued as police clearly saw David DePapp Strike Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer. | ||
| After tackling the suspect, officers rushed to Mr. Pelosi, who was lying in a pool of blood. | ||
| What we do know is he brutally attacked Mr. Pelosi and attempted to kill him. | ||
| After spending several days in the ICU, Pelosi, who is recovering from a fractured skull and serious injuries to his arm and hand, is now home where Capitol Police remain on alert. | ||
| Investigators have previously said Pelosi did not know DePapp when the 42-year-old broke into his home. | ||
| How did they know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why Pelosi didn't try to flee or tell responding officers he was in distress is unclear. | |
| All right, let's pause real quick. | ||
| There is zero confirmation that DePap broke into the house. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| This is between Pelosi and DePap. | ||
| DePap's pleaded not guilty. | ||
| There is a statement he gave, and so what I mean to say is, I'll clarify, there is circumstantial evidence he broke into the house. | ||
| A lot of it. | ||
| I'm saying is we've not seen hard evidence. | ||
| The story is as they claim. | ||
| We've not seen videos. | ||
| We've not seen like third parties. | ||
| We just have the two people involved saying, here's what happened. | ||
| And then the cops changing their story 50 times. | ||
| So I think it's fair to say, why did NBC delete this video? | ||
| Maybe the reporter was lying. | ||
| Maybe the reporter was wrong. | ||
| If you come to me and said, hey Tim, this reporter lied, I would say, is it a day ending and why? | ||
| So then someone says, yo, pull that story, this isn't true. | ||
| I'd be like, not surprising. | ||
| Now hold on, hold on. | ||
| That being said, Deleting the video itself could be them trying to manipulate and cover up. | ||
| So if you told me they deleted the video because it was true, I'd say, is it a day ending and why? | ||
| So I'm not going to sit here and trust NBC. | ||
| But their report was predominantly based on the police reports and interviews they did with the police. | ||
| So the burden of proof is not on NBC here. | ||
| It's on the police officers who are trying to tell you there's no way the two knew each other. | ||
| How do you know that? | ||
| Were they following and spying on these two people for their whole lives? | ||
| Again, that doesn't make sense. | ||
| And another aspect here that doesn't make sense is this suspect that broke into the home was allegedly a mastermind, a QMAGA guy who was going to target Pelosi and go after her. | ||
| saw the cops, and then that's the moment he decided to take a hammer and strike Paul? | ||
| That doesn't make sense. | ||
| It doesn't add up. | ||
| I don't know how this sounds, but I actually don't care a whole lot about this incident, in the details of it. | ||
| And what I care more about is the fact that it was propagandized as an example of deliberate, methodical, right-wing violence. | ||
| An attempt to assassinate a Democrat by some QAnon Trump-supporting person, when just everything we know, like the basic facts of it, say that that's not true. | ||
| And at the same time that that's happening, you know, Bill Maher does a whole segment that this is a continuation of the Cold War, right? | ||
| This is the Cold War in the United States heating up. | ||
| He does this whole monologue. | ||
| It's just absurd, right? | ||
| And as that's happening, you have a GOP candidate. | ||
| I think his name is Pat Harrigan. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| whose house was was fired at. | ||
| This happened in the last 24 hours. | ||
| His kids almost died. | ||
| Police confirmed that someone shot into the home where his parents live and I think his | ||
| kids were in the house at the time. | ||
| And that's that's just one example, right? | ||
| Like, over the summer, Lee Zeldin was attacked. | ||
| And I think there's other recent examples of Republican politicians who are being attacked. | ||
| And it's obviously difficult to find, like, are these people actually Democrats or what are they? | ||
| I think there's one politician who was attacked by what the media characterized as a libertarian activist. | ||
| But we don't know that, right? | ||
| But the point is, is that there is a disproportionate amount of violence that I think obviously comes more from the left. | ||
| But where the difference is, is in the coverage. | ||
| I don't believe your average MAGA person gets violent, like I say on average. | ||
| There's outliers, of course. | ||
| But you hear these stories where Bill Maher says the danger of the right wing, and then it turns out to be these Jussie Smollett incidents. | ||
| But the media always reports it as though the right caused the problem. | ||
| So an example is, I was in Portland. | ||
| Proud Boys were marching. | ||
| Antifa started a counter-protest. | ||
| The Proud Boys were minding their own business and walking around with American flags. | ||
| Antifa was antagonizing and screaming racial slurs. | ||
| Did the media come out and say a peaceful march by conservatives was attacked by Antifa? | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| They said, you know, violent right-wing group shows up and clashes with Antifa or whatever. | ||
| But that wasn't the reality of what happened. | ||
| We saw that a whole lot. | ||
| The Proud Boys would go somewhere, or not even the Proud Boys, like right-wing groups, conservative groups would march with flags, and then all of a sudden Antifa would show up and get into fights and the media would say it was either mutual combat or violent right-wingers showed up. | ||
| And then you see what happens in New York, the mistake made by the conservatives, when Antifa came and showed up to a Gavin McInnes, a Proud Boys, or it was a Gavin McInnes speaking event, and started throwing things at people and basically surrounding the Outer Blocks, Proud Boys run full speed at him, get into a fight, start bragging about what they were doing and how they fought and it was all live streamed. | ||
| When the police arrested them... | ||
| Well, the good cop-loving right-wingers said, sure, officer, I'll tell you everything. | ||
| And Antifa pulled their masks up and ran full speed and refused to give statements. | ||
| The Antifa guys? | ||
| No charges. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Don't know who they are. | ||
| The Proud Boys? | ||
| They're in prison. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| Yep, back the blue, right? | ||
| We have this other story, though. | ||
| Always back the blue. | ||
| Don't question that. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Always support the boot. | ||
| Check out this story in a similar vein. | ||
| in a similar vein. Vandal throws Molotov cocktail through Oklahoma donut shop window days before it | ||
| was set to host a drag queen event, second time shop has been vandalized in as many weeks. | ||
| I gotta say, I don't know if uh, I find it really hard to believe that a guy would put on a MAGA hat | ||
| and a black hoodie and then firebomb a cupcake shop. Even if there's a uh, you know, drag queen | ||
| story hour happening or whatever or whatever, you know. | ||
| Like, would a Trump supporter or right-wing guy be like, better put on my MAGA hat before I go and commit this crime? | ||
| No way in hell. | ||
|

|
I'd probably be the opposite. | |
| Actually, if I wouldn't, you know, I would probably wear like an Antifa costume. | ||
| You would. | ||
| And do it. | ||
| Well, not me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But if I were in that person's shoes... It's a repeat of the Jussie incident, right? | |
| Like, this is MAGA country. | ||
| It's literally that, except with a hat. | ||
| Well, you know, the issue is when one side is evil and plays dirty, they're gonna do things like this. | ||
| Now look, you know, before the show you mentioned, you wouldn't be surprised if it really was someone on the right, right? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, yeah, it wouldn't surprise me in this environment, no. | ||
| If they came out, right, and they arrested this guy, and it turns out his name was John Smith, and there's photos of him all over Trump's rallies, I'd be like, well, he's clearly crazy, because we think anybody doing this is crazy, be it left or otherwise, or whatever. | ||
| But, I mean, yeah, right, considering the environment that we're in, you've got people targeting kids. | ||
| And now, I don't know if you guys saw, Stephen Colbert apologized. | ||
| The Tudor Dixon debating Gretchen Whitmer says, a guy came to me and said, these explicit books are in these schools, the Democrats won't give me answers, so I'm voting Republican. | ||
| Colbert goes on his show and says it's made up. | ||
| It's not real. | ||
| He was forced to apologize on his show. | ||
| Because if he just did a Google search, he would have realized this wasn't made up. | ||
| And he opened himself up to defamation by saying, Tudor Dixon made this story up. | ||
| That happened. | ||
| So there's a lot of parents who are starting... Look, when you have Democrat voters in places like Dearborn, these are Muslims, coming out and being like, my whole family's voting Republican, what do you think conservatives, like staunch religious right conservatives are thinking when they're seeing this stuff happen to kids? | ||
| It's worse than that. | ||
| I mean, speaking of Muslims, there is a case documented by Abigail Schreer in City Journal, a devout Muslim Had a son who's autistic and he had a really bad episode | ||
| and I think this was during kovat so he took his son to the hospital they lived in Washington | ||
| Washington State and Because of the code policies he couldn't stay with his son | ||
| overnight So he goes home and the next day he gets a call from the | ||
| hospital and they tell the father Well, your son's problem is not that he's autistic and had | ||
| an episode. It's that he's actually a girl Wow and to this father's | ||
| Credit he played it a lot cooler than I would have been And basically, he played along and was like, yeah, just what do I do next? | ||
| You know, like, what are the next steps to basically beginning the process of affirming my son's real identity? | ||
| And the hospital releases his kid, and he takes his family and moves them out of Washington State because he knew that if he would have bucked too hard, Social workers would have gotten involved because the way that that works, the way that the hospital, you know, was able to confirm that he was trans was between doctors coordinating with social workers and kind of evaluating the kid. | ||
| I mean, like, we already have cases where families are being broken up by these people to transition kids, and you have people that work for organizations like USPATH and WPATH, these trans advocacy organizations, that are saying, like, these are doctors that are saying, we're working with courts to teach them how to take kids out of houses so that we can transition them when their parents are being difficult. | ||
| Well, it gets even worse than that because in places like Canada and some European countries, if the parents don't play along, don't go along with what the doctors or the psychologists want the kids to do and to go along with the transition, they literally get put in jail. | ||
| They get arrested for misgendering their own children and not going along with the transition of their child. | ||
| So you come for people's kids and then you're surprised that the temperature in the room rises? | ||
| When you say things like, you can't stop us from transitioning your kids and we'll bring the courts to bear on you, like you're surprised that some people might lash out? | ||
| Yeah, now this guy either is an absolute idiot who was doing this as he, you know, is portraying himself to do this, or he's someone who's, you know, doing something just for the optics there because there was a surveillance camera in HD. | ||
| He did have that red MAGA hat. | ||
| And either he's an absolute dumbass who's very stupid and just has very low impulse control and then did this stupid act as a real act, or it was a setup in order to get those optics going right before the election that, of course, work in favor of the main campaign issue that the Democrats have, and that, of course, is January 6th. | ||
| MAGA, Republicans bad. | ||
| MAGA guy firebombing this publicly lit area with a big surveillance camera with the red hat. | ||
| Not to mention he was wearing a mask. | ||
| And it was the second time in however many weeks that that place has been vandalized. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It could be a right winger, I don't know, you know, but I just love, it's like they learned from the Justice Millette thing. | ||
| They were like, okay, we need the people to actually wear the hoodies and the MAGA hats and yell this is MAGA country, otherwise no one will believe it. | ||
| I think that's a good point, is that every incident like this is framed as part of this bigger narrative of like, Basically, I mean, it's so obvious, right? | ||
| Like, the media is trying to turn the Paul Pelosi thing, this thing, into the case for why you should not vote Republican during the midterm elections. | ||
| Because they have no other case, right? | ||
| Like, they've completely doubled down on being insane going into midterms. | ||
| And I think there's a recognition of that. | ||
| Like, well, the only thing that could convince people to not vote Republican or whatever is to convince them that there's this, like, imminent mass violence that's going to happen after midterms. | ||
| I mean, yeah, but from Democrats. | ||
| Well, I mean, you're hearing this, right? | ||
| Like, uh... It's them. | ||
| They're gonna do it. | ||
| Well, they're saying... Like, vote for us or else. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That's basically what we're being told. | ||
| Literally, like, six days until democracy ends. | ||
| Did you see that guy on MSNBC who said that the Republicans are gonna kill your children? | ||
| Beschloss? | ||
| I think that's... Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, he said six days until democracy ends. | ||
| He said, they will murder your children. | ||
| I was watching and I was just like, this guy's lost it. | ||
| But hey, you know, when I say civil war, everybody, that's your cue, it's because of people like this. | ||
| Drink. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Hey, you got it. | ||
| Luke poured himself a lot. | ||
| Hey, I got the pour. | ||
| Okay, I didn't pour myself the glass. | ||
| Someone gave me the pour. | ||
| Where's yours, Louis, Tim? | ||
| I finished it. | ||
| Oh, you did. | ||
| I didn't give myself that much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was just, you know... This is a burden, not a gift, okay? | |
| By the end of that glass, it will feel like a burden. | ||
| I wonder if I can try and find that video while we're talking. | ||
| You guys keep talking. | ||
| But yeah, this guy goes on MSNBC. | ||
| He's raving. | ||
| And it's normal to them to have him go on the show and say this stuff. | ||
| Look, you know, people have a meme about me saying civil war, but my approach is always like, you know, we hope it doesn't happen. | ||
| We're kind of on that path. | ||
| It may be an informational warfare, maybe fifth generational. | ||
| It may just be this, but who knows? | ||
| It really could get crazy. | ||
| This guy goes on and says, six days! | ||
| They could kill your children! | ||
| And who knows if historians will even be able to write anymore! | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| None of the ones that are currently writing should. | ||
| That's my position. | ||
| But I think that you actually should take these people at face value when they say things like that. | ||
| And I think it's a mistake that the right makes, or conservatives make, that they don't take people who are insane seriously. | ||
| People like this, if given power, would absolutely do things to hurt you and make your life worse. | ||
| Yeah, I was thinking about people that are in pain, taking them seriously, like people that are young people that feel like they're in the wrong body or transitioning their bodies. | ||
| Like it's not not right to laugh and joke and point because like they're they're real people. | ||
| And if you do ignore them, the threat will get worse. | ||
| It could become a real threat. | ||
| Like so it's you got to take this stuff seriously. | ||
| So when they're saying things like that, yeah, I mean, obviously it's funny to hear that, but at the same time, it's like, no, you give these people the power to hurt you and they will do it. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Because they see themselves as the victims. | ||
| They see themselves, although the establishment is completely on their side, they absolutely view you as the oppressor and they're going to act accordingly. | ||
| I thought it was very strange this guy was wearing a MAGA hat. | ||
| MAGA? | ||
| MAGA? | ||
| Well, it looks like a MAGA hat. | ||
| I don't know what it says. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| So they don't know. | ||
| It's a red hat with white letters, and it's got some trim on the front. | ||
| It's the kind of thing where, like, if some random guy, some random, like, Indonesian dude, shout out to Indonesia, Went and, like, burned a house to the ground and then laid down, like, a piece of paper on the ground that said Trump on it, next to the burned rubble. | ||
| Some media would be like, Trump's supporters! | ||
| And you're like, what? | ||
| The media is reporting it is a MAGA hat. | ||
| They are. | ||
| Yes, yes. | ||
| So remember when that football player, like ex-football player, tried opening, like, a pizza in a wing place? | ||
| And then he vandalized them and then wrote, like, MAGA and, like, racial slurs? | ||
| And then they were like, it was actually him who did it? | ||
| I miss this. | ||
| There was a church that got burned down and then the dude put like a racial slur on the ground and it turned out like it was the pastor that did it and they were just trying to frame the right. | ||
| Yeah, this happens all the time. | ||
| Rural right-wingers are not getting in their cars and driving into cities to seek these people out. | ||
| I mean, the amount of work involved in that I don't think the average person has. | ||
| And if you're gonna commit a crime, right, Check out the place for surveillance cameras, and then maybe, you know, knock the surveillance camera down, but don't frame yourself right in the middle of it when it makes the perfect shot of this propaganda that we're seeing shared everywhere right now. | ||
| I think there was a story in the Wall Street Journal that actually argued that, like, in these days, more often than not, or at least at an alarming rate, a lot of these, let's call them hate hoaxes, are fake, and they're perpetrated by the supposed victims. | ||
| Like, this is in the Wall Street Journal, and I think that's So why wouldn't it be the case that people on the right might be less inclined to do this stuff? | ||
| And I think there's an understanding that you will go to jail. | ||
| Unlike the left that burned down half the country in 2020, and pretty much everyone who was involved in those riots got off with either a slap on the wrist or no slap at all, if you get caught doing something like this and you're actually right-wing, you're going to jail for a long time. | ||
| There seems to be a kind of understanding that the system is against you, and it's going to punish you severely. | ||
| I want to play this video. | ||
| Clay Travis tweeted, MSNBC historian says, if you vote for Republicans, your kids will be murdered and democracy will die. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And a historian 50 years from now, if historians are allowed to write in this country, and if there are still free publishing houses and a free press, which I'm not certain of, but if that is true, a historian will say, what was at stake tonight and this week Was the fact, whether we will be a democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested and conceivably killed, we're on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system, and it could be a week away. | |
| This is what happens. | ||
| They watch MSNBC and this guy says, if the Republicans win, they're going to arrest your children and kill them. | ||
| They actually think in their minds, the cop is going to be like, You know, Trump's orders, walk into your house, take your seven-year-old in cuffs, and then bring them to a firing squad. | ||
| What are they imagining happens in this country? | ||
| They're riding the back of the Trump bad narrative, man. | ||
| The whole Biden administration and momentum is based on, look how bad Trump was. | ||
| It's so annoying. | ||
| And now they're still saying it. | ||
| They've extrapolated it to Trump's voter base. | ||
| And how bad, bad, bad they are. | ||
| How bad they are. | ||
| It's just Nazi propaganda, man. | ||
| It's what Hitler did to the communists with the Reichstag fire. | ||
| It's just this full false flag nonsense about creating a boogeyman. | ||
| That's what I'm getting out of it. | ||
| The funny thing is if you juxtapose it to what McCarthy has said the GOP agenda is after midterm elections. | ||
| Do you know what it is? | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Entitlement reform. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So you have this guy screaming that, you know, like, they're going to genocide your kids, and then McCarthy's like, actually, we just want to cut Social Security. | ||
| But it's just, but how do I say this? | ||
| I wish the GOP was half as radical as these people think it is. | ||
| Because the disappointing thing is, is that the GOP is not nearly prepared to actually use the electoral windfall that it's going to get For nothing it did, by the way. | ||
| I think people are voting Republican, understandably, because the Democrats are so insane. | ||
| But the GOP, I don't think, is prepared to actually use the electoral gains it's going to get to change the trajectory of the country in a meaningful way. | ||
| Bill Maher's a great example of what's wrong with the left, because you can see it When he says things on his show about the woke left and the whiny millennial and Gen Z babies and all that stuff, it's like, OK, he's clearly heard something, but he's not actually Googled it. | ||
| Like, he's seen a video on Twitter and then said, heavens me, I'm not going to research that. | ||
| So then he goes on MSNBC and he's like, these right wingers are so violent. | ||
| It's like, bro. | ||
| There was an insurrection on May 29th, 2020, where there were thousands of far-left extremists. | ||
| There's photos of D.C. | ||
| with fires raging. | ||
| It's an overhead view of D.C. | ||
| You see smoke everywhere. | ||
| They tore down the barricades at the White House. | ||
| They set fire to St. | ||
| John's Church. | ||
| They firebombed a guard post on the White House grounds, and they injured 150 cops. | ||
| 529. | ||
| Worse than January 6th. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| No, that's exactly right. | ||
| The president was forced into a bunker. | ||
| But I'm glad that Bill Maher will just kind of reflexively, you know, do that because it reminds people that, like, you can't trust people like Bill Maher. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Like, their tendency is always going to be to punch right at the moment of decision. | ||
| And I think that's good that people are reminded of that because there was a moment where, you know, there was that segment that Bill Maher did, I think, with Weiss about COVID. | ||
| And, like, it was Weiss basically finally saying, like, well, I'm not comfortable with, like, masking, things like that, right? | ||
| It's like the rest of us are, like, already fed up with this. | ||
| But because Bari Weiss and Bill Maher talk about it, now it's fine, right? | ||
| Now we can we can start saying, like, the masking and the vaccines and all the regulations were dumb and wrong. | ||
| So I think it's good that Maher will still kind of misstep and expose himself. | ||
| I want to show this photo. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| I just Googled DC BLM riots. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's this view, I guess it came from a helicopter, and you can see black smoke rising. | ||
| There's actually a wider shot that shows black smoke rising in several areas. | ||
| This doesn't happen to these people. | ||
| In their minds, this never happened. | ||
| You ask them, but what are you talking about? | ||
| I actually saw a leftist journalist have a big Twitter thread about how the BLM protests were peaceful. | ||
| Fiery, but mostly peaceful. | ||
| That's what, who said that? | ||
| MSNBC? | ||
| CNN. | ||
| CNN said that. | ||
| There was a journalist who said, the reason why we take MAGA so seriously, blah blah, is because although there were protests during BLM, they were peaceful. | ||
| And we need to understand that when we go out, I'm like, are you talking about... People died. | ||
| They literally got killed. | ||
| Several dozen people were killed. | ||
| Billions of dollars in damage. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then you see that MSNBC thing where they have the panel of Trump supporters and the host goes, a cop died on January 6th. | ||
| And they're like, no, he didn't. | ||
| He died later from natural causes. | ||
| That was the only person who died as a direct result of that whole thing. | ||
| Let him keep saying it. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because If there's anything you can do, like, you know, Ian, you brought this up with your mom, when you said Biden shouldn't be sniffing kids, and she said, he's not doing that. | ||
| And then you showed her, and she went, okay, he shouldn't be doing that. | ||
| If you can show someone, not as an adversary, like, here's a video of them ransacking, you know, burning St. | ||
| John's Church. | ||
| Here's a video of a man in Dearborn, Michigan, saying, I don't like sexually explicit books in my kids' libraries. | ||
| Then they watch Colbert, and Colbert goes, that never happened. | ||
| It didn't happen. | ||
| We looked into it. | ||
| Now all of a sudden that that normie aunt or uncle of yours is watching, they're like, I actually saw that. | ||
| I saw that video. | ||
| Colbert's lying. | ||
| This is the part in the movie where people start pulling other people out of the Matrix and start waking them up. | ||
| And it's because they're emotionally on the same level. | ||
| It was like with the whole replacement theory thing that happened a while ago. | ||
| I wrote an article on Newsweek. | ||
| And it was just so easy to show that the Democratic Party has for decades made it an official electoral strategy to simply replace the electorate. | ||
| They say it openly, that basically fewer white people means more wins for us. | ||
| This is not me saying this. | ||
| This is the Democratic Party saying this. | ||
| And this is why it fell apart, was because it's like, no, no, no, we can just quote the New York Times saying this. | ||
| But when Tucker Carlson said this is what they're saying, they said he's promoting Great Replacement. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And it's like he's quoting Democrats. | ||
| Yes, it's like the New York Times is promoting the Great Replacement. | ||
| Charles Blow, you know, like it's Democrat politicians who are promoting it. | ||
| Tucker is just repeating what you're saying in your own words. | ||
| So no, you're right. | ||
| You allow these people to just show you who they really are. | ||
| Yeah, but he's not celebrating and cheering it on, so he's man bad. | ||
| But I do think the white angle is the incorrect angle. | ||
| Like, I really don't care if a bunch of Venezuelans come to the United States, for the most part, because they hate communists. | ||
| Like, that's the reason they're fleeing. | ||
| So typically, when you see, like, in Miami, you'll meet Venezuelans and Cubans, they're like, communism is trash, we love America, this is a great country, free speech, free enterprise, and I'm like, I like that. | ||
| These are good people. | ||
| So it's not about race, it's about values. | ||
| The problem we have is they're bringing in people who are just looking for an economic opportunity and it's nothing to do with any of this. | ||
| When you see people coming across the border it's like, I can make more money here. | ||
| They don't know our values, they don't believe in our values, and that's an issue for us. | ||
| Because Democrats are trying to Bring in people to allow them to get political power either through the census or through creating new demographics, new voter bases. | ||
| But they're creating a demographic of people who are like, I just want something. | ||
| So then you get voters who are like, don't care, don't know. | ||
| If you give me something, I'll vote for you. | ||
| That's why Joe Biden's like, I'll give you 10 grand towards your student loans. | ||
| I think, I mean, there's a whole argument to make that, you know, that the identity aspect does matter. | ||
| But from my position, I just think it's ghoulish to basically celebrate and advocate replacing the core demographic of a country. | ||
| When has it ever happened before? | ||
| When has it been openly discussed in human history? | ||
| Like, let's take the, you know, like the stock population and just replace them. | ||
| Yeah, it's not like the Romans for sure, but they don't talk joyfully about it. | ||
| No, about themselves. | ||
| I'm saying that this has never happened before. | ||
| Never in human history has a society talked about its own core demographic population like that. | ||
| The Romans didn't say, we're going to replace ourselves or something like that. | ||
| the conquered Gauls with Romans. I really don't think the identity thing is, I don't think the | ||
| immutable identity thing matters. When Candace Owens comes out, they say she's a white supremacist. | ||
| I get that too. It's because there's cultural... That's the point, like, if, if what, look, | ||
| the white liberals nod and agree with whatever they say, so it works for them. | ||
| Any other group that agrees with what they say, it works for them. | ||
| But it's not about race. | ||
| They'll come out and claim, you know, this white person who is engaging in racist activities isn't racist if it's in favor of them. | ||
| Affirmative action, for instance. | ||
| Or creating segregated libraries. | ||
| Like they did that educational thing in, I can't remember where it was, Seattle or whatever. | ||
| Dearborn did this with POC and non-POC digital cafes. | ||
| If it's a white person doing that, it's not racist. | ||
| If it's a conservative white person, no matter what you do, it's racist. | ||
| But if you're a conservative black person, if you're Larry Elder, you're the black face of white supremacy. | ||
| So, what I see is, they're looking for a way to bring in people who don't care about the American ideology, the American way of life. | ||
| That's all that matters. | ||
| If you were born in America, and you're a Marxist and you hate America, you are welcome. | ||
| They're not going to insult you, they're not going to smear you, you're good. | ||
| You're golden, even if you're white. | ||
| If you're a black conservative but you believe in American values and free speech, you're a white supremacist. | ||
| Yeah, or Uncle Tom. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, sure. | ||
| I think there's a middle ground there between people like me and people like you. | ||
| I mean, basically, yeah, it does seem to be a policy of the Democrats to simply try to replace the demographics that they view as troublesome, whether or not that that's actually true. | ||
| I mean, that is what they advocate, yeah. | ||
| It's a correlation, right? | ||
| This country in the 60s, I think, was like 90-some-odd percent white. | ||
| Most of these people are, you know, they're Christian, they're meritocratic, they're anti-communist. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So, the easiest way to target that demographic is the surface-level racial attack. | ||
| Exploit racial animosity. | ||
| I mean, I think this is part of, like, the communist strategy for subverting a country. | ||
| But the reality is, you can be of any background and have values that we think are good, and the Democrats will try to destroy you, they'll lie about you, they'll smear you, and they don't want you here. | ||
| Yeah, I think ultimately what we're talking about is assimilation. | ||
| And I think that what we're saying is that people that come to this country are expected to assimilate into certain values, right? | ||
| And my position is just that the things that we refer to as American values originate in a specific demographic. | ||
| And that's not to say that other people can't, you know, assimilate into that. | ||
| But assimilation is very tricky. | ||
| It requires pauses in immigration. | ||
| It requires a kind of basic understanding of, like, house rules. | ||
| We don't have that. | ||
| You know, anything goes except, of course, the things that we can characterize as racist. | ||
| So, yeah, I mean, I think there's an agreement there. | ||
| Let's jump to Twitter. | ||
| We have this beautiful tweet from our good friend Will Chamberlain. | ||
| How's it going, Will? | ||
| Shoutout. | ||
| He says, Elon Musk has fired the curation team, the human rights team, the ethics team, transparency and accountability team. | ||
| Nothing of value was lost. | ||
| Bravo! | ||
| So, this individual said, yesterday was my last day at Twitter. | ||
| The entire human rights team has been cut from the company. | ||
| Why is there a human rights team at Twitter? | ||
| It is a tech platform for you to send words to people. | ||
| Why do they have a human rights team? | ||
| Well, according to what I'm seeing online, they were specifically going after people who were calling for bodily autonomy, calling for medical freedom, and for parental rights. | ||
| So, they were going after those specific individuals. | ||
| I love this one the most. | ||
| What do those words mean, though? | ||
| Sorry, go ahead. | ||
| The curation team. | ||
| Ah, the entire curation team was fired. | ||
| I'm very happy about this, because Twitter once put on their What's Trending tab for like two weeks a fake story about me. | ||
| Totally fabricated, completely insane, and people were commenting on Twitter being like, why is this really weird fake story trending when no one's talking about it, it's not relevant, it's not political, it's just a hit piece. | ||
| What was the story? | ||
| I'm not gonna get into it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's just a fake story, fabricated in every respect. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Twitter's curation team decided they should make sure all of their users see a story that no one cared about. | ||
| And the response from most people was like, why is this trending? | ||
| This story is clearly fake. | ||
| Because they're ideological. | ||
| Because these people are Marxist, leftist cult members. | ||
| And so, anything they can do to attack their ideological enemies, they do. | ||
| So, good riddance to them! | ||
| Then we have Ben Collins. | ||
| He's also one of these fake news guys. | ||
| He says the entire ethics, transparency, and accountability team at Twitter is gone if you want a sense of where the site is headed. | ||
| Where is it headed? | ||
| Where is a tech platform headed that doesn't have an ethics team? | ||
| Yeah, look man, that's what I call bloat. | ||
| That guy Ben Collins, his bio on Twitter is Dystopia Beat, which is hilarious because he just runs cover for actual dystopia. | ||
| Yeah, he just writes fake stuff. | ||
| Right, that's right. | ||
| No, I think that I have noticed that I'm being targeted less with tweets, people, and content that I hate. | ||
| Whereas, like, before, I would log in and be bombarded with, like, you know, pro-Ukrainian war propaganda, people screaming about how the U.S. | ||
| needs to get involved and stuff, and I hated it. | ||
| Because I don't follow any of these people. | ||
| Like, I don't follow the Kiev Post or the Kiev Independent, right? | ||
| But I'd open my app, and there would be somebody saying that the United States has to continue giving Ukraine aid, like, after midterms. | ||
| I'm like, why am I seeing this? | ||
| You don't? | ||
| No, I've just noticed that, like, in the last few days, I don't see that anymore. | ||
| Elon Musk's $8 plan is striking at the heart of U.S. | ||
| Cyber Command operations, manipulation, etc. | ||
| So we learned this 10 years ago or so from this leak, that the U.S. | ||
| government was producing sock puppet accounts. | ||
| That private companies would make a series of fake bots or bots and sock puppets. | ||
| A sock puppet is an account that looks like a real person that you control. | ||
| So, you know, a sock puppet would be John Doe has 10 accounts. | ||
| One is John Doe, and then he has Jane Doe, Rick Doe, Bobby Smith, and he acts like they're different people. | ||
| Then you tweet something like, I'm a big fan of pineapple on pizza. | ||
| And then all of a sudden you get slammed by just 10 posts all being like, you're disgusting. | ||
| That's really awful. | ||
| Oh, come on. | ||
| You don't really like that. | ||
| And it makes you feel like you're being unpopular. | ||
| All of a sudden people are attacking you for doing this thing. | ||
| And so you're like, oh, you know, I was just kidding. | ||
| I won't. | ||
| But it's one guy. | ||
| With Elon Musk doing this $8 thing, the ability Of the US government and other intelligence agencies to | ||
| manipulate using bots and sock puppets is gone Because people are gonna be like I don't want to interact | ||
| with random anonymous accounts. Sorry. I'm gonna ignore ignore don't care | ||
| Yeah, I mean that was something that I commonly heard was that people who would tweet things that we know contrary to | ||
| the consensus on The war would just be swarmed | ||
| By it by just a non tiny and non counts that were either just recently created or very few followers | ||
| That would all be just be basically brow, but like I saw it too like my I wrote about Ukraine and stuff | ||
| Like I would get swarmed by these accounts like these nobody's and a lot of them had been created in the last | ||
| year or so I don't really notice that anymore. I | ||
| I just, I tweeted this and a bunch of people got mad. | ||
| I said something like, stop interacting with anonymous accounts and your experience on Twitter will become way better. | ||
| And this was maybe like a year ago. | ||
| And then I had a bunch of people, even like real people, be like, you're so, you're so wrong. | ||
| Tim opposes anonymity, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And I was like, when did I say you shouldn't be allowed to be anonymous? | ||
| I said, if you don't interact with them, your day is better. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Look, you're allowed to be anonymous. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I think it's good in a lot of ways. | ||
| But don't expect me to waste time with 1.3 million people, you know, if they're all using cartoon communist squirrels. | ||
| Like, dude, I am not going to argue with someone I can't see. | ||
| I hear muttering through the wall. | ||
| I'm not going to start screaming at the wall. | ||
| I'm going to ignore it. | ||
| Someone gets on Twitter. | ||
| They don't want to show their face. | ||
| They don't want to use their real name. | ||
| You can't expect me to engage with a million-plus people doing that. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| I see somebody who uses their name. | ||
| Will Chamberlain, right? | ||
| We brought him up. | ||
| It's a picture of him and his family, and it's his real name. | ||
| So there's a strong likelihood I'm actually talking to someone, and that could be fruitful for me. | ||
| I won't be wasting my time. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| You could have a cartoon communist squirrel account, and it's probably the same guy arguing with me from 10 different accounts. | ||
| I'm not going to waste my time with that. | ||
| You're allowed to be anonymous. | ||
| I got no beef with that. | ||
| I'm just saying, don't expect me to give you my time if you don't show me your face. | ||
| I'd originally taken it to the extreme and said, if you don't make a video and speak so I can hear your voice and look in your eyes, I'm not going to respond to you because I don't believe that you're who you say you are. | ||
| It's a little extreme because I know Will Chamberlain personally, and I know that's his Twitter account. | ||
| So there are cases where I'll respond to some text. | ||
| Now I'm a little more lax on it now. | ||
| I want to kind of involve people, but I'm not going to get stressed out by text. | ||
| I just want to point out real quick, with the termination of all of these teams, this means that right before the midterms, if a Hunter Biden laptop story came out, there's no weirdo to censor it. | ||
| So like the Paul Pelosi thing. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Free speech. | ||
| No, I think you're already kind of seeing this. | ||
| Again, it might just be perception because, you know, we're excited about the possibilities of Musk making Twitterless cancerous. | ||
| But I mean, it does seem like things are getting through. | ||
| But on the point of Anons, I follow a few Anons, but the ones that I follow are high follower counts, typically, that have shown that they're either historians or independent scholars. | ||
| I think good Anons can be really constructive and you can learn a lot from them. | ||
| a problem with these SOC accounts, basically. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's not just SOC accounts, it's psychological operations. | ||
| Israel first started to talk about how they were hiring tens of thousands of individuals that would just go online and, of course, actively work on setting the perception online as Israel being more favorable than anyone else. | ||
| The United States and the Pentagon, of course, have a similar program, but I agree with you. | ||
| There's a fine balance because we still should have privacy. | ||
| But at the same time, we've got to be careful when it comes to the psychological operations, which seems like Elon Musk is disrupting. | ||
| What will be the price for that disruption? | ||
| How will the Deep State, the Pentagon, and all these other large government institutions that depend on this for their larger psychological operations response to this? | ||
| That's another question that I think we should worry about. | ||
| Oh man, I want you to imagine what the future is going to look like. | ||
| If Elon Musk has his way, if the Republicans win on Tuesday, I'm imagining mixed-race families hanging out in their front porch. | ||
| The dad's playing catch with his son. | ||
| He smiles. | ||
| Then the pizza man delivers it off. | ||
| There's a milk crate from the milkman. | ||
| It's just horrifying. | ||
| Kids healthy. | ||
| Everyone's fit. | ||
| No fat people anywhere. | ||

|
Here's the scariest part. | |
| They go to church on Sundays. | ||
| Is it bad that my fantasy is much more vengeful of what happened to me? | ||
| I want to hurt these people because they've been trying to hurt me and, like, indecent Americans. | ||
| That's a bad way to put it. | ||
| We want to fix the problems? | ||
| You don't want to become what you're fighting, right? | ||
| Do you want to be what they are? | ||
| I won't leave that one go, but no, I think the reality is in order to fix this country, like, you're going to do things that are going to—like, transgenerism, right? | ||
| Taking on transgenerism is going to make heads explode. | ||
| And you would have to necessarily shut down institutions. | ||
| You would have to attack the accreditation of clinics, of hospitals. | ||
| Yeah, but now you're helping people. | ||
| Right, it is. | ||
| Look, yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, that's right. | |
| It's constructive. | ||
| I know what you mean. | ||
| I don't want to hurt bankers, but I'm willing to change the banking system, and people will lose their jobs, so you could argue, well, then they were hurt by that. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| That's what I mean, yes. | ||
| You have so many stories of detransitioners who wish they never went through with it, and their lives are irreparably harmed. | ||
| So when you start coming in and following the science and actually stopping the bad stuff, you're actually helping a lot of these people. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| So you take a look at what's going on in Europe, and they've already started doing away with a lot of that stuff. | ||
| In the US, the left is a cult. | ||
| They're obstinate, unwilling to look at the data. | ||
| They believe what the media tells them. | ||
| They believe what the government tells them. | ||
| And that leads people to dangerous places. | ||
| We need to stop all that and actually just try and be calm about things. | ||
| and genuinely help everyone. | ||
| So the end result is, I don't know the Republicans are going to solve all the problems. | ||
| I honestly think they won't. | ||
| I think there's a handful of good ones that will do some good things. | ||
| They're saying that Rand Paul will be the head of the health committee or something like that. | ||
| Oh, awesome. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. I saw that on Twitter and I'm like, oh, Fauci must be sweating bullets. | ||
| Hey, that sounds really good if they win, so let's get that to happen at the very least. | ||
| But the end result of this is, we're not seeking to hurt anybody, nobody's getting hurt, we're getting justice and accountability. | ||
| When you arrest a guy who robbed a liquor store, you're not hurting him. | ||
| He may be hurt in the arrest, I get that, but we're ultimately doing it because we want to help everyone and stop this guy from doing wrong. | ||
| Ideally, in my view, we would arrest someone because we are trying to help them. | ||
| We're trying to rehabilitate. | ||
| Unfortunately, I think we need prison reform and criminal justice reform because too often we don't do that. | ||
| But the end result should be, we are... | ||
| We are better than they are. | ||
| We don't go out and burn down buildings in riot like Antifa does. | ||
| We don't justify the violence and then lie about it. | ||
| Everything that's happened from this eclectic bunch of people from libertarian, post-liberal, and conservative has been to make everyone's life better. | ||
| And the problem is the left exploits the goodwill and good faith of those trying to actually help people. | ||
| Yeah, I just think that in order to really, like I said, do the things that need to be done, we have to be willing to become a little bit more ruthless with power. | ||
| I mean, holding people accountable for things like transgenderism, for COVID, you're talking about... I'm not just kidding when I say we should have military tribunals for the people that thought it would be a good idea to lock people in their homes and force vaccines on them. | ||
| You don't do a military tribunal for citizens. | ||
| You do a normal prosecution. | ||
| Like, you don't bring in the army to arrest people for civil violations. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Well, you want me to say what I'm saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, I think the scale and the level... Yeah, but you just arrest them. | |
| You arrest them, we charge them, and first we get Rand Paul on the health committee, or whatever it's called. | ||
| Then he launches investigations, files subpoenas. | ||
| Then Congress can, you know, start making criminal referrals. | ||
| Then, after the Republicans get in in 2024, we can weed out the corruption in the DOJ. | ||
| It's gonna take a long time. | ||
| But the solution is fairly more normal. | ||
| Congressional inquiries, federal investigations, special counsels, arrests. | ||
| And I think that's the path to go for. | ||
| Let's jump to this next Twitter story. | ||
| Elon Musk! | ||
| He says Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue due to activist groups pressuring advertisers even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists. | ||
| Extremely messed up. | ||
| They're trying to destroy free speech in America. | ||
| Now this is funny. | ||
| Elon Musk himself was fact-checked. | ||
| It says, multiple advertisers have confirmed they are pausing spending while they see what direction Elon Musk takes the platform. | ||
| The growing exodus of advertisers comes amid concerns Musk will scale back misinformation and security protections on the platform, which he did. | ||
| Hank Green, famous YouTuber, says you tweeted a conspiracy theory from a website less credible than the National Enquirer like four days ago. | ||
| We all need to look inward as well as outward. | ||
| Elon responds, and therefore Twitter should die. | ||
| And Hank says, of course not. | ||
| It's just, it's too simple to attribute this to, I love how he put, it's just dot dot dot, as if he's talking, like why would you do that? | ||
| It's too simple to attribute this to activists when advertisers are given reasons to be cautious. | ||
| You wield a lot of power, and it would be very good for Twitter for you to do it more thoughtfully. | ||
| Hank, these people publicly came out, various media organizations, and told Twitter, I'm sorry, they told the advertisers to pull their ads from Twitter until Elon makes guarantees. | ||
| So this was like, I think it was Media Matters, a few other organizations. | ||
| The activists actually publicly went to the advertisers and got them to pull their ads. | ||
| So it's just like, you know, Elon Musk says, Hank, try a Google search. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| What was he talking about? | ||
| Who, Elon? | ||
| Yeah, he said... I didn't get the... If you Google search activists are pulling ads from Twitter, you will see numerous high-profile mainstream stories of big activist groups telling adversaries to pull their ads off Twitter. | ||
| Elon tweets that's happening, and Hank says, you can't attribute this to activists. | ||
| The advertisers have real concerns. | ||
| Like, no, it was literally activists who wrote the letters and sent this their way. | ||
| Yeah, even according to the Foundation for Freedom Online, they came out with a report detailing how specific individuals, specifically Bill Gates, were the ones pouring millions of dollars into dark money funds to attack Elon Musk to make sure that advertisers pull ads out of Twitter. | ||
| And today we're seeing General Mills, Audi, Pfizer, of all companies, Pulling your ads from Twitter. | ||
| What are we going to do without those? | ||
| I say boycott, but I want to read this. | ||
| Elon Musk says, Regarding Twitter's reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4 million a day. | ||
| Everyone exited was offered three months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required. | ||
| It's true, but I kind of want to bask in this, if you guys want to just feel the emotion. | ||
| Angry leftists started screaming at advertisers to get them to drop Twitter, and then Elon had to fire them because he no longer had the money to pay their salaries. | ||
| So I just want to make sure I really reiterate that. | ||
| They got fired because of themselves. | ||
| That's just, it's wonderful to see. | ||
| They cost themselves their jobs. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| They literally cost themselves their jobs. | ||
| So now they're going to go home and they're going to cry and they're going to demand the government give them money. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| What do you do when people don't learn, right? | ||
| I think the $8 a month tactic is wise because you want to get away from investors. | ||
| Well, you do what you want to get away from investors. | ||
| You want to get away from advertisers. | ||
| You don't want to let other corporations run your corporation or decide the things you got to do. | ||
| So, I'm fully on board with this $8 monthly. | ||
| Well, you never, you know, quote, bite the hand that feeds you, and when it comes to Big Pharma, when it comes to Pfizer, they sponsor a lot of news reports. | ||
| They sponsor a lot of media organizations. | ||
| They sponsor a lot of social media organizations, which I think it's fair to say and criticize right now that it affects their coverage, their curation of that particular company that keeps pouring in millions and millions of dollars into these platforms that does result in favorable coverage for them. | ||
| Going back to tribunals. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| So overall, this is a great thing that, yes, advertisers are showing themselves. | ||
| They're showing their true colors. | ||
| They're saying, hey, we don't stand by free speech. | ||
| We don't stand by something that we can't control. | ||
| We can't curate towards our personal benefit. | ||
| You having free speech is a threat to us. | ||
| So we're going to shut this down. | ||
| And we're going to make sure that we're going to publicly take ads off of Twitter to try to bring it all down. | ||
| So I think it's clear as day what's happening right now, and I think that $8 a month model is something that's going to fight against a lot of this bullcrap, and why I said from the beginning I would support it, I would pay for it, especially if Elon Musk keeps his promise and frees the unbanned people. | ||
| My attitude is, when he unbans the political prisoners, then I'm gonna sign right up and be like, thank you, good sir, it's a good product. | ||
| I was so ready to gamify this website with avatars that you can buy with tokens and get them outfits and stuff. | ||
| I was just looking over my documents, the systems that I've built for this. | ||
| Elon, let us do it, dude. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| I think, mostly based off of how Minds does it, my proposal was When you sign up for Twitter, every account is defaulted in the top level, safe for work mode. | ||
| Meaning any post that's not safe for work is blurred out unless you click on it to reveal what that post is. | ||
| But no shadow bans. | ||
| If you're following someone and their post breaks the rules, it gets just blurred. | ||
| And then you have to choose. | ||
| It'll say, this post broke the safe for work rules and may be not safe for work. | ||
| You click it. | ||
| Twitter actually has something like this, but you don't need to suspend or ban people if the rule break is like hate speech or whatever. | ||
| Or maybe like, it's something, some kind of offensive thing. | ||
| So, the way I see it is, if you break the rules, your single individual post is blurred. | ||
| If you break the rules three times, your whole account is default into the second tier not-safe-for-work category. | ||
| People can go into their accounts and put, always show me not-safe-for-work posts. | ||
| And then, everyone is identical. | ||
| Or, they can stay in the safe-for-work mode, and then every post from you will still appear in their feed with your name, but they have to click it to see it. | ||
| That way advertisers don't appear next to it, unless the person chooses to have it appear next to them, and that's not the company's fault. | ||
| More importantly, if someone lands in not-safe-for-work mode from violating the rules, you can have it be that ads don't appear next to these posts. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| And then, when you get put into this filtered mode, it lasts, depending on the severity of the rule break, between one and three months. | ||
| Unless you commit a crime. | ||
| Then, you are off the platform, depending on the severity of the crime, for as long as the punishment of that crime is. | ||
| So, like, basically, if you commit a crime, you go to prison. | ||
| We get rid of your account once you're out of prison and paid your debt. | ||
| Then you get your account back. | ||
| It'll be in not-safe-for-work mode for three months, and then it's restored. | ||
| And then someone said, what about people who are already banned? | ||
| All of their accounts instantly get reactivated but are in not safe for work mode for three months and then instantly restore to a normal account. | ||
| No shadow banning, no algorithmic restrictions, the only change is it's blurred or it's not and someone can just click it and it unblurs. | ||
| Good move. | ||
| Yeah, Mines has a lot of that implemented already with the non-state-for-work stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| But the problem is, this isn't about that for Twitter. | ||
| The problem is, they want you gone. | ||
| If you say something like, communism is bad, they want you gone. | ||
| Who do you mean, who's they? | ||
| Like the establishment left, the cult. | ||
| They just destroyed their own jobs. | ||
| They would rather see Twitter explode than lose this political power. | ||
| You saw this kind of play out over the debate over blue check marks, right? | ||
| There is something deeply offensive about the idea of people being able to buy one as opposed to them being awarded based on what is essentially prestige. | ||
| Matt Iglesias, I think he's one of the worst analysts of our time, did this thread and he argued the opposite. | ||
| He's like, trust me, journalists don't think that the blue check is prestigious. | ||
| Why are they freaking out over this? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| I can tell you for a fact, having worked at Vice, it was like, when I started at Vice, people asked me, like, oh, do you want to get verified? | ||
| They're like, let's put in a call and make it happen. | ||
| And that's literally, I think what they did was they emailed and then I was verified, boom, like that. | ||
| It's a social status and personality. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And they lord it over you. | ||
| But it's not even that. | ||
| We had, I think it might have been Fresh and Fit, I'm not sure if it was them, but they said when you're verified on Instagram, you get DMs. | ||
| You DM a woman on Instagram and you're verified, it's like you get a date. | ||
| The verification, everyone knows what it means. | ||
| These journalists, only like a year ago, actually one guy recently, Tweeted, I'm verified on Twitter with 30,000 followers, don't F with me. | ||
| And he was like talking about, it's a product, like some company did him wrong, and so then his response was, I am verified with followers, and I will, they absolutely view it as a status symbol. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| As a social media developer, it is so funny to watch people obsess over their social media stuff, because it is, you're a button click away from being zeroed out, just so you know when you use social media. | ||
| Stephen King, what did he say? | ||
| That they should be paying us. | ||
| He's right, though. | ||
| They should be. | ||
| And Elon's agreed to do it. | ||
| So, Twitter is one of the only platforms that doesn't pay its top creators. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| They started showing you view count on your tweets, on mobile or whatever, and it's like, my tweets get hundreds of thousands of views or whatever. | ||
| So, Twitter is relying on me to generate interest in being on the platform, and then I get nothing for it. | ||
| That's why they did the verification thing, because it was a way to not pay people, but trick them to be active on the platform. | ||
| I mean it worked and you see how taking it away from them is making them so angry. | ||
| I agree with it. | ||
| I love the idea. | ||
| It's going to be awesome. | ||
| So one of the challenges with verification, the reason why they made it exclusive, was because they couldn't afford to look at everyone's ID. | ||
| There's just too many people. | ||
| Charging eight bucks. | ||
| Elon can hire people to actually do the verification process. | ||
| And then what you do when you get verified is like you show an ID in a credit card or something. | ||
| Something like, I think it's like an ID. | ||
| For me, because Vice did it, Vice just said, you're good. | ||
| And they said, yes. | ||
| But there are other people who like, you'll, you'll wake up one day and it'll be like, hey, we're verifying you. | ||
| It was, hey, it's happening. | ||
| And then, oh, and then they ask you to send your ID or something to prove it. | ||
| I say, anyone can do it. | ||
| If you have a business, you just submit plain as day. | ||
| And then we know your business is the official account because someone at Twitter confirmed your account. | ||
| That's all it means. | ||
| It's just verifying the official account so that if you see another Tim Pool, they know that you're the one that has the checkmark. | ||
| That's the point of verification. | ||
| You don't need to appease advertisers. | ||
| You have advertisers? | ||
| Sure, great. | ||
| But you don't need them. | ||
| You're not dependent on them. | ||
| Pfizer, in 2021, they spent $2 billion on advertisement. | ||
|
unidentified
|
On Twitter? | |
| That's a lot of money. | ||
| Not on Twitter, just in general. | ||
| I gotta say, too, to be honest, I did an ad for Will of the People, and it had really great impact. | ||
| I was impressed. | ||
| On Twitter? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it traveled off of Twitter, got millions of hits for not that much money. | ||
| And then I ended up seeing results on other platforms from people who had heard the song and I was like, wow, it's actually, I'm kind of surprised because I thought Twitter would be bad. | ||
| Let's do it again. | ||
| I'm sure Elon would appreciate the investment. | ||
| Now imagine what $2 billion does. | ||
| Oh, for sure. | ||
| I mean, I think, I think we did like five, I think it was like five grand in ads and got like millions of hits. | ||
| I was, I was shocked by that. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And, uh, we, we are doing with the new song with genocide. | ||
| We are doing, we have, we have a company handling it, so I don't know exactly what's going on, but they, they sent me like, here's the things we're going to be running. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, yeah, do whatever. | ||
| But I'm looking forward to it. | ||
| With Elon Musk coming out and doing this stuff, it's a good sign. | ||
| I'm totally down for advertising on Twitter. | ||
| I will sign up for Twitter blue the moment he actually unbans the political prisoners. | ||
| Because otherwise, it's just like... It's Jack Dorsey all over again. | ||
| He told me to my face, we're going to create a path to redemption. | ||
| And then he never did. | ||
| They never had any interest in doing it. | ||
| And it's insane because... | ||
| Why not just let Milo come back on the platform? | ||
| Like, no, seriously, why not? | ||
| Be like, hey, you were banned for six months. | ||
| We're sending this email to let you know we're going to restore your account, and we're asking you to follow these rules. | ||
| If you don't follow the rules, we will just have to ban you again. | ||
| We're hoping that you agree. | ||
| And then they'd get a power user back. | ||
| But it's ideologically driven. | ||
| They just want the political victory. | ||
| But Jack was, you know, a symbol. | ||
| And Jack also didn't get rid of the human rights team. | ||
| So, you know, props to him because, again, everyone's freaking out. | ||
| The human rights! | ||
| They don't understand what the team actually did, the larger effects of it, and it was a net negative to everyone. | ||
| Let's exemplify exactly what happened. | ||
| To help you understand why what Elon Musk is doing is so important, I have a tweet here from, what is this, Luke Rudkowski. | ||
| I heard about that guy. | ||
| Luke, we are changed. | ||
| He tweeted, what kind of dystopian nonsense is this bullish? | ||
| The Twitter fact check of the White House got fact check on Facebook as missing context. | ||
| This is what Elon Musk is fixing. | ||
| The White House put out a tweet that said seniors are getting the biggest increase in their social security checks in 10 years through President Biden's leadership. | ||
| There was a flag, a tag posted on that on that tweet that said, Actually, this is because of Richard Nixon and the increases due to inflation, it's automatic. | ||
| So the White House deleted the tweet. | ||
| Luke shared this image and Facebook, I should say AFP, labeled it as misleading post, claiming Twitter started fact-checking Biden. | ||
| When you have partisan actors working on your fact-checking, Yep, and you know, I got a warning about this on my personal Facebook page. | ||
| resulted in the White House deleting their tweet. | ||
| Yep, and you know, I got a warning about this on my personal Facebook page. | ||
| All I tweeted was the photo of what happened on Twitter saying, now this is a fact check. | ||
| Just being like, hey, this is pretty incredible that this happened on Twitter. | ||
| And now they're warning me that my posts could be moved lower in the newsfeed. | ||
| I mean, they're already pretty low in the newsfeed. | ||
| They get very little engagement. | ||
| That people are less likely to see them because I shared a photo of what was going on here. | ||
| Again, This is the fact-checkers at war here, and when you're seeing this in our social media landscape, this actually gives me a lot of optimism. | ||
| It gives me a lot of hope to see this larger battle of ideas finally playing out in such an absurd way, where Facebook fact-checkers are fact-checking a Twitter fact-check. | ||
| They're helping Biden. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is the crazy thing. | ||
| If Twitter was to remain the same without Elon Musk, They would not have gotten fact-checked this way. | ||
| They would not have deleted the tweet. | ||
| They were lying to the American people. | ||
| But on Facebook, you've got this one organization called Lead Stories. | ||
| They've published fake news about me more than once, and they've had to retract it. | ||
| Because they put these fake... There was one. | ||
| I did a story around the 2020 election, and it said something like, Republicans send slate of electors to cast a vote for Trump. | ||
| They flagged it as fake news. | ||
| And they said, the Republicans don't have electors, they didn't win. | ||
| And I said, the Republicans did send a group, they called a slate of electors. | ||
| The first 30 seconds of the video was me saying, these are not the official slate of electors being sent by Republicans. | ||
| They didn't even watch the video. | ||
| They fact-checked it, and they got my channel demonetized and damaged by lying. | ||
| They don't even do, this is the gang. | ||
| And you can see it happening right now on Luke's Facebook, on Luke's Twitter. | ||
| It happened so many times it's infuriating to even keep up ... with because there's dozens of events when either it's CNN ... issuing a fake copyright claim against me taking down my ... live-streaming abilities whether it's Reuters saying that ... my photo from Davos and all the private jets wasn't real even ... though it was an actual photo from. | ||
| Davos, I could keep going on and on how reality is just being manipulated in a way to attack people who just try to give a different perspective, a different side of the story. | ||
| If you're anti-establishment, you're going to be dinged. | ||
| You're going to be punished. | ||
| You're going to be downranked in the algorithm and put in the cyber gulags for daring to express an opinion that these people don't like. | ||
| And that's absurd. | ||
| And this is an abuse of power by these big tech social media companies that are really run by intelligence agencies. | ||
| These people think that if Republicans win, The Republicans will arrest their children and murder them. | ||
| Now, I'm sure not all of them think that, but enough of them probably working at Facebook do, and they're saying, I have to do this to save democracy. | ||
| Fact check false, even though I know it's true. | ||
| It's real for them, absolutely. | ||
| I think that's what makes them so dangerous and so willing to do this kind of thing. | ||
| Maybe Donald Trump will bring back the mental institutions. | ||
| Hopefully. | ||
| But not in the, you know, I don't want any negative ones. | ||
| I want ones that actually help people. | ||
| I don't like the idea that we send medically ill people, you know, addicted people to prison. | ||
| People who are unwell need help. | ||
| They need compassion, understanding. | ||
| So when someone comes out and calls themselves Frogself and thinks that Republicans are taking children and murdering them, it's like, you are suffering from a delusion. | ||
| We're not mad at you because of this. | ||
| We don't hate you because of this. | ||
| But you are a danger to yourself and to others. | ||
| And to allow you to go on social media and organize other people who are suffering is going to hurt more than just yourselves. | ||
| So what we're going to do is, it's called a 5150. | ||
| A temporary psychological hold so that we can assess, you know, I think there's real challenges to allowing the government the power to lock someone up like that. | ||
| But there's also a balancing act of what do you do when people are legitimately mentally ill? | ||
| And being given positions of power as opposed to being given help so they can get their head straight. | ||
| Well, I think we've fetishized what is essentially mental illness in many cases. | ||
| I mean, like, transgenderism is obviously one of these things. | ||
| Until recently it was understood to at least be indicative of some kind of, you know, underlying... I think in the DSM-5 it's considered a mental disorder. | ||
| I think they distinct that from... it's distinct from illness. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Well, the point is that we've not only normalized it, but we glorify it. | ||
| We encourage that kind of behavior. | ||
| In other words, we encourage mental illness. | ||
| And where these things actually require compassion instead of glorification or simply just actually abusing these people somehow. | ||
| No, I completely agree. | ||
| Specifically, we have the neurodivergent trend. | ||
| Is there like a fancy way of saying autistic or something? | ||
| Neurodivergent means you're suffering from a mental disorder or mental illness. | ||
| I think it starts on Tumblr. | ||
| Everything bad starts on Tumblr. | ||
| Somebody would be diagnosed with ADHD or Asperger's, they would say I'm neurodivergent, meaning your brain is different. | ||
| They would say that it's not bad to be away from, like, the norm. | ||
| And, like, no, but here's the problem. | ||
| All of these things start from a correct place of, you know, we don't hate you for being divergent. | ||
| Like, if you're overweight, I don't hate you. | ||
| I want you to get healthy. | ||
| You know, I'd say, you know, cut out the carbs. | ||
| I did. | ||
| I lost a lot of weight. | ||
| You know, just I want you to be healthy and happy. | ||
| Look, I grew up skateboarding. | ||
| If you really want to feel good, go to a skate park. | ||
| There's a lot of snooty people that skate. | ||
| But if you go to a skate park and you're really bad at skating, and everyone can see that you're really bad, and then you finally land your first trick, the whole park erupts. | ||
| People are screaming and cheering. | ||
| Every time. | ||
| If you go to a skate park and there's like pros, the best of the best skateboarding, and all you can do is a humble kickflip, and you're trying for an hour and you can't get it, and then you go up the pyramid, and you do a kickflip, and it's the worst, it's the ugliest in the world, but you get it, everyone's gonna start screaming and cheering and high-fiving you, because it's about you. | ||
| It's about you doing well and doing better. | ||
| That's how I view things. | ||
| When I see people who are doing bad or whatever, I want to see them do well. | ||
| And then I want them to mind their own business so I can mind mine. | ||
| But on social media, the exact opposite happens of what you just described. | ||
| Because when you're not doing well, when you're afraid someone, when you're delusional, when you're paranoid, When you have a mental disorder, you're then praised, you're then congratulated, you're then even promoted in the algorithm, which has... We have to acknowledge the elephant in the room, and whether it's, you know, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google, TikTok, especially TikTok, especially this instant kind of glorification, this kind of algorithm that has been running our lives, we have to acknowledge that it has had an extremely net negative impact on humanity and its mental health to the point where we are reaching | ||
| a point that there's no going back from where people are losing their minds and still somehow deciding it to turn it into some kind of content where they turn the selfie camera on and still try to glorize it somehow and that's non-stop what you see on instagram non-stop what you see on tiktok and whether it's Whether it's adultery, whether it's degenerate behavior, whether it's just behavior that's extremely negative for the individual, all of that is glorized on social media and we should really be taking a step back from that and saying, hey, we should really decide what is going to be happening here with this impact on society. | ||
| I think anorexia is a really good example of something we all know and understand is a bad thing. | ||
| It's a negative behavior. | ||
| What's really interesting is to see how anorexia was spread through basically peer groups in a thing that's called social contagion. | ||
| That basically one girl would become anorexic and then her friends would become anorexic and then through social media and group chats and things like that, other people who are outside of the immediate friend network would then also become anorexic, right? | ||
| Because the idea was to get their bodies to conform with some standard, okay? | ||
| But the difference is that we knew that things like anorexia were spreading through peer contagion, through social networks, but we always knew that it was a bad thing. | ||
| We always knew that anorexia was something to be treated, not something to be glorified. | ||
| And so you can basically take this idea of social contagion and apply it to like, you know, transgenderism, which I keep coming back to or whatever, like there's so many other Things that fall under neurodivergent, I don't know. | ||
| And as opposed to with anorexia, which we acknowledge is bad, we glorify it now, right? | ||
| Like when someone is skinny, that's kind of synonymous with having anorexia. | ||
| We don't do that when someone is overweight or trans or whatever or has some other weird thing like ADHD. | ||
| We glorify these things and it continues to spread through mimesis. | ||
| And so these are anorexia is a mental disorder. | ||
| I'm assuming it's in the DSM-5. | ||
| This is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition. | ||
| And this includes gender dysphoria. | ||
| So the challenge that we have, I think, is you get banned for bringing this stuff up. | ||
| You'll say something like, hey, gender dysphoria is listed as a mental disorder in the DSM-5. | ||
| There was this big push from activists to get it delisted. | ||
| So that it would no longer be considered a disorder. | ||
| And then what happened was a bunch of prominent activists said, stop! | ||
| If you get this delisted, you can't get prescriptions for it anymore. | ||
| It needs to be a medically recognized disorder so that people can go to doctors and get treatment for it. | ||
| So they were like actually in their activism for like I guess the the status of being considered normal, I suppose. | ||
| They didn't want to be associated with a disorder. | ||
| They almost lost their ability to get treatment. | ||
| I keep coming back to the radium fad a few decades ago. | ||
| A hundred years ago? | ||
| More than a few decades. | ||
| Well, we started applying radium to everything, like obviously watches and imports and things like that, but people also started to It actually wasn't that... it's not as long ago as you think it was. | ||
| The women who were doing the painting on the watches would brush their gums and their faces and then what they would do is they would smile and their teeth would glow and then their jaws would fall off a few years later. | ||
| They called them radium girls. | ||
| Here's a look up the radio endocrinologer. | ||
| Here's a really good example for our time. | ||
| For a while it was believed that if you were a woman you could take a radium suppository. | ||
| and insert it into your body and it would improve your female functions. | ||
| On the other hand, the radio endocrinologer was a credit card-sized device that as a man you would tuck under your scrotum when you went to sleep at night, and the idea was that the radium would make you more virile. | ||
| That if you had problems with Mr. Pool down there, that it would help you. | ||
| Quite literally doing the opposite. | ||
| And so when you go to sleep, you tuck it under there, right? | ||
| And obviously, all this did was sterilize people, really similar to the stuff that we're seeing now, right? | ||
| In the end, they're just sterilized. | ||
| But the really interesting part of this was, is that physicians believed in it. | ||
| Physicists believed in it. | ||
| Members of the US government created entire institutes, like the National Radium Institute. | ||
| People used to drink mercury. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But, and here's another really interesting aspect of it, in order to sell this stuff, like, how do I get you to tuck some radium under your skirt, right? | ||
| Well, I tell you that if you want to be a real man, that this is what you have to do. | ||
| And so an entire industry emerged to shape marketing, to shape basically conceptions of gender and sexuality that made it desirable to start taking radium suppositories or use the radio and chronology because you want to be a real man, don't you? | ||
| With like a nuclear boner or something. | ||
| You know, that sounds like... marketing. | ||
| They came up with a product. | ||
| They said, this is great, we're gonna make tons of money off of this. | ||
| Humans aren't... well, I suppose, depending on how you put it, humans are either stupid or they're not stupid. | ||
| For the entirety of the planet, we're actually really smart. | ||
| But who knows what's out there? | ||
| Yeah, dogs lick their own butts, you know, what are we up against? | ||
| Just really quick, nuclearized boners is a great marketing term. | ||
| Yeah, it was, and it was super effective, and a lot of guys went sterile. | ||
| Humans are not much smarter than they were. | ||
| Actually, I think what I read was humans are not smarter than they were 40,000 years ago. | ||
| We just know more. | ||
| We've accumulated more data, created data repositories, so when a new human is born, All of that knowledge has been collected and they can read through it and learn it very, very quickly and then specialize in it. | ||
| That means several hundred years ago they would drink mercury because they wanted to cure syphilis and they didn't know what else to do and they thought it worked and they were dying. | ||
| And then we discovered penicillin and antibiotics and then all of a sudden we started curing a lot of these diseases today. | ||
| So going back then with the radium-scrote-tuck thing, They are just people who are like, I'm gonna make money, sounds good to me. | ||
| They don't have the data and then we get the data and then we're like, hey, maybe you shouldn't do that because you're making your balls fall off. | ||
| But it was the marketing that they were doing off of people's manhood. | ||
| Did you look it up? | ||
| No, I'm just trying to bounce off what you guys are saying. | ||
| My point was that the manly stuff was marketed for everything. | ||
| Like, eat your steak like a real man! | ||
| There's that famous ad that went viral on Twitter of the husband spanking the wife because she bought bad coffee. | ||
| And it's like, a lot of that marketing existed, no matter what the product was. | ||
| So like, browbeating people based on their sexuality is a marketing tool. | ||
| They still do! | ||
| They did the Gillette! | ||
| Look at the Gillette commercial! | ||
| Remember that one? | ||
| Don't be a toxic man! | ||
| Yeah, now it's just the opposite. | ||
| Well, my point with the radium thing is that it was a moment where it was like, well, this is what the science says. | ||
| The science says that this stuff is going to make you more of a man. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Or more of a woman. | ||
| And we just didn't know. | ||
| And then the humans were the study? | ||
| Well, they thought they did know. | ||
| That's my point. | ||
| The same way that we think we do know now everything else. | ||
| Did they have short-term results? | ||
| Is that why they thought it was... I was going to ask about that. | ||
| It was like years later, the women's teeth would fall out, their jaws would swell and get cancerous and fall off. | ||
| I imagine a tiny bit of radiation is probably good for your body. | ||
| No. | ||
| Yeah, it's heat. | ||
| Well, I mean, ionizing radiation is not the same as heat. | ||
| You're talking about thermal radiation, not ionizing radiation. | ||
| So your cell phone is non-ionizing radiation. | ||
| I believe it uses microwaves to send signals that don't destroy your DNA. | ||
| Ionizing radiation rips your DNA to shreds, causing your body to be unable to replicate proteins, and then you die. | ||
| So there's a big difference. | ||
| It pulls electrons away. | ||
| The National Radium Institute was founded in 1913 by Dr. Howard Kelly, a physician at Johns Hopkins, and James S. Douglas, who used to work for the federal government. | ||
| So ionizing radiation is a result of too much radiation. | ||
| If radiation gets too insane, then it starts to ionize. | ||
| So, the radiation you're referring to, I think, is like electron decay? | ||
| When the electrons are firing off because the element is unstable? | ||
| Hey, don't be mad at Ian. | ||
| He's onto something. | ||
| He's trusting the science. | ||
| He's trusting the medical experts and the government from day one. | ||
| And he's doing the right thing, according to, you know, the federal government and the CDC and the FDA. | ||
| He's a man of honor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's doing the right thing here. | |
| I want to get this one last story in because we're not going to be here for this weekend. | ||
| We've got the midterms coming up. | ||
| White House violated ethics guideline by deleting, I like how they say it, fact-checked. | ||
| Fact-checked tweet saying Biden had given American seniors the biggest boost in social security. | ||
| The reason I want to bring this up, first and foremost, the White House violated ethics by deleting public record, but someone superchatted this to us, and forgive me for not remembering your name, they superchatted saying, is it even legal for Biden to delete public records from the White House Twitter account? | ||
| That's public record, and Lo, you were correct. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| This is how, I guess, broken the White House is. | ||
| They try passing off a lie, and when they get caught, they violate ethics to try and get away with it. | ||
| Now it's only made it worse, which is another example of the Biden administration. | ||
| They're digging their hole deeper. | ||
| Someone should make a sitcom about this guy. | ||
| You know, a sitcom about Biden. | ||
| I'd watch that. | ||
| Hey, wait, wait. | ||
| Just add a laugh track. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Add a laugh track. | ||
| You ever see those viral videos of like friends with no laugh track? | ||
| Yeah, it's so weird. | ||
| And it's really creepy. | ||
| We could totally take a Biden speech and just add laughs and it would be like a comedy or, you know, Biden walking around or whatever. | ||
| I'm kind of like, I was more comfortable when they were lying to me and I didn't know, with George Bush Jr. | ||
| and the Iraq War. | ||
| At least then I was like, oh, they lied, everyone kind of agreed, hey, they shouldn't have done that, we mostly yelled back, like, don't do that anymore. | ||
| Now it's like, when it's happening in real time and it becomes apparent, I guess I'm glad it's happening out in the open now, because we can see it and we can criticize it. | ||
| I think that's an important part of this process. | ||
| Are you glad that it's happening in the open? | ||
| Like, because it was always happening, I guess. | ||
| Can we criticize it too, is another question? | ||
| Yeah, as long as you don't make unfounded claims. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm, yeah. According to who? | |
| According to them. | ||
| According to me, Serge. | ||
| To them. | ||
| Man, seeing the ivory tower crumble. | ||
| When Donald Trump got elected the first time, I likened it to, there's an ivory tower. | ||
| And, you know, the left-wing populists and the right-wing populists come up to the doors and they're yelling, rabble, rabble, rabble. | ||
| And then, you know, Pelosi and Schumer and the Clintons and Obama, they're looking out the window with their pinkies out drinking wine going, ugh! | ||
| The rabble is trying to get in the building! | ||
| Bernie Sanders knocked on the door. | ||
| They splashed water on his head and said, get out of here. | ||
| And he went, oh, okay, I'm sorry about that. | ||
| And then he left. | ||
| And then the other group of right-wing populists leave, come back with a bull, and then they look down going, oh, crap. | ||
| And then Donald Trump, who's the bull, smashes the door in and starts rampaging through the ivory tower. | ||
| And I found it hilarious. | ||
| You know, there are people who are like, Donald Trump is a fascist destroying this country. | ||
| And I was like, I'm just imagining all of these uppity elites terrified that Donald Trump is doing these things, and it makes me happy. | ||
| That's all I can say, whatever, it's not my choice, but now I'm looking at where we are with Twitter. | ||
| Since then, it's like sledgehammer's been taken to the base of the ivory tower and it's on the verge of crumbling, and they're looking out the window going, stop! | ||
| Stop! | ||
| If you let them keep doing this, democracy will end! | ||
| And it's like, oh, okay, dude, you're up there. We're down here. Sorry, I'm not listening. | ||
| So, you know, I'm kind of looking forward to Tuesday. The White House, they can violate | ||
| ethics all day and night. It's the desperation. It's become an ugly perfume. How about that? | ||
| So should we sue or should somebody sue the White House for violating an ethics clause? | ||
| Well, I don't know how you handle this. | ||
| I mean... Yeah, I don't know either. | ||
| Maybe we need to make sure that if any Republicans do win, we're screaming in their faces, like, figuratively. | ||
| No. | ||
| You need inquiries. | ||
| We want subpoenas. | ||
| We want criminal referrals. | ||
| We have to wait until Facebook fact-checks this so we know exactly what to think about it. | ||
| And then we can move forward confidently knowing that we're... | ||
| Judiciously, the White House should keep the tweet up, and then the fact check should be there as public record, and then they should comment on the fact check. | ||
| But they can't. | ||
| The issue was, Biden accidentally said, the high inflation is my fault. | ||
| They said, Social Security is going up because of Biden's leadership. | ||
| But it was only going up, it was triggered by an automatic, it was an automatic trigger due to high inflation. | ||
| So he basically said, that high inflation you're suffering from is because of me. | ||
| Whoops! | ||
| You need to delete that! | ||
| So they were like, we gotta get rid of that. | ||
| They used the phrase, through Biden's leadership. | ||
| So you could, you could define that in a couple of ways. | ||
| One is like, through his hard work, this happened as a result of his hard work. | ||
| Or you could say like, yeah, through 2022, we did all this. | ||
| It wasn't like 2022 did it to us. | ||
| We just did it through the process of his, him being leader. | ||
| So in that sense, you could argue that yes, Social Security did go up through the period of his leadership, but I think that they were insinuating that he caused it. | ||
| They just brought up so much more attention to this bullcrap. | ||
| They just literally... Barbra Streisand did this to such a high level that we're still talking about how they inflated the economy to the point... | ||
| That they're giving out record social security checks. | ||
| I mean, this is beautiful. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| And again, this is mainly because of, you know, the change at Twitter. | ||
| I don't think this would happen if Elon Musk wasn't at Twitter. | ||
| No, they would stop the community check, I would think. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| And then someone would tweet out, the White House is lying about the social security thing, and it's only happening because of inflation. | ||
| And then it would be locked. | ||
| It would get a red exclamation point, and it would say, election interference, fake news. | ||
| They just did that to Jesse Kelly, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| They locked one of his tweets. | ||
| He said something like, if you can't count the votes in a day, there's cheating or whatever. | ||
| Well, dude, people are allowed to have opinions. | ||
| And if someone's like, I don't like it that we have a month of voting, sorry, we're gonna lock your account because of that. | ||
| That's clearly bunk, but I gotta tell you, Elon Musk has gotten rid of the ethics, accountability, and transparency. | ||
| Curation and moderation. | ||
| So what I will say, going into this weekend is going to be very interesting, because there's nobody at Twitter. | ||
| The offices are all closed and everyone's locked out until Monday. | ||
| The only people who are still there are critical infrastructure. | ||
| Does that include Cons at moderation, there's pros and cons. | ||
| That means you can be algorithmically locked out of your account and there's nobody there | ||
| to fix it. | ||
| It could also mean that there's nobody there to lock you out of your account right before | ||
| the midterm elections. | ||
| It's a free-for-all. | ||
| Yeah, so we might—this is kind of like— It's like 2016. | ||
| It's like the powers, the meme magic was suppressed and locked away by dark forces. | ||
| And then Elon Musk, he comes into this tomb with carrying a torch and he sees this large green frog-shaped rock and then he strikes it with a hammer and then it cracks and then green meme magic bursts. | ||
| We may actually see a glimpse of the power of the meme magic from 2016 with all of these people being removed from Twitter. | ||
| It's gonna be like it was, where people are posting jokes constantly, the memes go viral, everyone's laughing, having a good time, and then MAGA Republicans get memed into office. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| It's the midterm. | ||
| If Elon Musk pulls this off, 2023 is going to be crazy. | ||
| 2024 is going to get even crazier. | ||
| The memes! | ||
| The Great Meme War 3 is upon us. | ||
| I'm just here for the memes. | ||
| I don't care who wins. | ||
| I don't care who's in office. | ||
| As long as we just have the memes, we can have a free society. | ||
| I got an idea for Seamus. | ||
| For freedom tunes. | ||
| It's a guy pulling up like an old computer laptop and like blowing the dust off of it and wiping it away and opening it up and there's a big folder that says memes and then he double clicks and he's like we're back. | ||
| You can dust him off, bring him out, bring out all the old memes. | ||
| Do you guys ever see the Donald Trump C.A.C. | ||
| meme magic mini-documentary? | ||
| Yes, actually. | ||
| It's been a while. | ||
| Yeah, just talking about how, like, the ancient god C.A.C. | ||
| was a frog and then C.A.C. | ||
| was World of Warcraft. | ||
| Dude, that's so crazy. | ||
| Yeah, it's great. | ||
| I vaguely, I think, remember this stuff. | ||
| See, this is the crazy thing. | ||
| There was a brief moment where we started to understand the power of memes. | ||
| And I don't mean literal magic. | ||
| I mean community organizing. | ||
| But then this video came out talking about how people memeing this stuff was actually having an impact on politics. | ||
| They destroyed it. | ||
| And now we're going back to this curated, top-down world that sucks, like when there were three TV channels. | ||
| You can't stop the meme, though. | ||
| That's why I came in blazing about graphene when I started on the show. | ||
| I wanted to set a meme standard. | ||
| I'm the meme guy. | ||
| I'm the graphene guy. | ||
| Now when you think of graphene, you think of me. | ||
| That was my intention. | ||
| I memed it into existence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe I'm being a little bodacious. | |
| When people say things like, you know, Twitter's not real life, I think it's a misunderstanding of the dynamic that the internet has with relation to politics and things like that. | ||
| The things that happen on platforms like Twitter can ultimately influence, they do influence elections. | ||
| And otherwise, the left would not be trying so hard to maintain control over Twitter, if that wasn't the case, right? | ||
| And I mean, you're seeing this in the mainstream. | ||
| People are saying that, you know, what potential changes Musk can bring to the platform are threatened to the outcome of them. | ||
| Ben Collins actually was the one that said this, that it could threaten the midterm elections. | ||
| But if Twitter, a change in management, has the power to threaten elections, Then that means that Twitter already has the control over this and somehow control of the discourse in a way that's consequential. | ||
| So I think, yeah, I think the meme magic is really just getting at this relationship between the Internet and reality, which I think it's established at this point. | ||
| I would just say it's not even just the left, it's really the Department of Homeland Security, the DOJ, the FBI, that are truly calling the shots here and saying, this idea is banned. | ||
| Sure, but I think that, I mean, the left, it's a category that we use to define something, but ultimately, like, the left is a counter-establishment, you know, countervailing forces collapse, because all of its views align with the views of the federal government. | ||
| And, I mean, to your point about this, I think in the last two years or so, Twitter removed accounts for what it said was, quote, uh, undermining faith in NATO alliance. | ||
| In NATO? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's on Twitter's official page. | ||
| It says undermining faith in the NATO alliance. | ||
| Well, a lot of, uh, the Atlantic council also, uh, plays a lot of fact checking roles and, uh, uh, curation roles. | ||
| They censored a lot of people critical of the U S military industrial complex. | ||
| Many times, many organizations, many individuals, many reporters, coming out, and it's the same as we saw on the corporate media. | ||
| There's no anti-war voices there, and they're building a world where there's going to be no anti-war voices anywhere. | ||
| And conveniently, it just happens to be the case that the left's views and tendencies align with the establishment's views. | ||

|
Yeah. | |
| But it's even further with the DHS coming to them and being like, we're going to do this now. | ||
| We're going to go to Super Chats! | ||
| If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com, but also head over to LosingMyMind.com and check out the new song, Genocide, that we put together for you guys. | ||
| I want, again, to say thank you to everybody. | ||
| We had a little celebration at the beginning of the show, which you probably saw. | ||
| Because we hit number one on iTunes, displacing Taylor Swift, who currently has the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100. | ||
| I don't think we're gonna hit number one. | ||
| Definitely not. | ||
| But I think we may actually chart on the Hot 100. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| With your support, if you guys buy the song, wherever you can, you can watch the YouTube video, the link in the description below, or go to losingmymind.com, or just buy it on iTunes, it would really help. | ||
| And we're gonna be doing a big push all next week to get this song going. | ||
| I appreciate the people who referred to it as a red pill music video. | ||
| Because it mocks the media and has other points in it. | ||
| So, appreciate that. | ||
| Let's read some superchats. | ||
| Koba Corey says, hot take, all speech is free speech. | ||
| Anyone who starts to police it starts to determine what's acceptable in their own morals. | ||
| Only police criminal activity, including obvious violent threats. | ||
| Here, here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Grofty says, stay calm and tweet about it. | ||
| That's a line from the music video. | ||
| It's one of the graphics. | ||
| Very, very cool. | ||
| Alright, we'll grab some more. | ||
| Andrew Ho says, How? | ||
| Please have Dr. Shiva on your show, as he was the one, through his lawsuit, found the backdoor censoring portal that The Intercept wrote about. | ||
| Then you will learn the whole story. | ||
| That would be great, actually. | ||
| I'd be very interested in that. | ||
| I think... Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| We had him mentioned the other day. | ||
| The other day, people were talking about his name exactly as well. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, Genocide is one of two alternative rock songs in the top 100. | ||
| Only two alternative rock songs? | ||
| In the Hot 100? | ||
| In the iTunes 100. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, really? | |
| What's the other one? | ||
| It's number 80-something. | ||
| It's called Bones by Imagine Dragons. | ||
| And that's kind of old song. | ||
| Alternative rock is back. | ||
| Oh wow, so we're like bringing alternative butt rock back. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| Butt rock? | ||
| That's what it's been called. | ||
| Well, that was them trying to insult Only Ever Wanted. | ||
| But it's funny, because, like, bro, you insulted it, but we got, it's like almost two million views, and it hit Billboard, like, number two in sales. | ||
| Now we're number one on iTunes. | ||
| So we'll see what ends up, what happens on Billboard. | ||
| But this one's more, like, I don't know what you'd describe it as, like, pop-rocky, pop-punky? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Circus rock. | ||
| I don't know about circus rock. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| I feel the circus in it. | ||
| Maybe if we had some bigger drums and some, like, accordion or something. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Kermit Killah says, wasn't a huge fan of the last two songs, but enjoyed the release today. | ||
| The others were just not my style. | ||
| Good job, TCIRL crew. | ||
| There are relatively different kinds of songs, you know? | ||
| And a lot of the songs, we have a bunch of songs that are very different. | ||
| But, you know, we're just gonna release what we release. | ||
| We'll see what comes next. | ||
| Man, I got a bug in my face. | ||
| Get out of here. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| A gnat. | ||
| Miguel Olvera says, Genocide is an unironically amazing song, guys. | ||
| Sharing it with everyone I know. | ||
| Congrats on the number one spot. | ||
| Also, Harley Pasternak's government ties are super sus. | ||
| Yeah, we talked about this. | ||
| This is what we were talking about before the show. | ||
| This is the guy that Kanye alleges, he tweeted out that Harley was saying, I'm gonna put you back on medicine and throw you back into zombie land. | ||
| Basically, I'm gonna lobotomize you. | ||
| That's nuts. | ||
| And this guy has connections with, you were saying, the Canadian government? | ||
| He has connections to the Canadian military, yes. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| Celebrity doctor. | ||
| Grofty says, genocide, losing my mind was on repeat. | ||
| Tom Tucker, channel you, Ian, that was epic. | ||
| So in the video, I'm basically doing a spoof where I'm Tucker Carlson. | ||
| And then I'm like, watching these other people. | ||
| And I'm like, wow, you know, Alex Jones is there. | ||
| It's really, really fun. | ||
| You do a what's that guy Bill O'Reilly pull a bill? | ||
| When Alex comes in, and you're like, shut it off, turn it off. | ||
| Oh, right, right, right, right. | ||
| Bill O'Reilly. | ||
| Yeah, Alex Jones hacks the feed. | ||
| And I'm yelling, I'm like, get him out of here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's going on? | |
| That was fun to make. | ||
| That was fun to make. | ||
| Alright, Andrew Yu says in your new song, Genocide, what is the symbolic meaning of the quicksand over the eyes as opposed to the other liquids and eye coverings? | ||
| It's a reference to you are slowly sinking in fake news and lies and eventually it goes over your face and you can't see anything anymore and you're living in a world of darkness. | ||
| That's how I view the average person. | ||
| They've lived in a world for seven years of Russiagate. | ||
| They believe this is reality. | ||
| They are well over their heads in the quicksand of fake news. | ||
| How do you get someone out of that? | ||
| It's very difficult. | ||
| Someone who is passively absorbing information, they're easier to pull out. | ||
| They're kind of just sitting there stuck a little bit. | ||
| But someone who's sunk all the way down? | ||
| Encourage them to keep calm, throw them a stick, and then let them lay there. | ||
| But by being hard to stay calm, if you struggle, you sink faster. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Christian Gemogochian says, NPR published audio recording of an abortion procedure. | ||
| Made me sick to listen to. | ||
| The derangement never ceases to amaze me. | ||
| Thoughts? | ||
| I am really glad they did, because wow. | ||
| Yeah, it's horrific. | ||
| It was like... The voiceovers might be the worst thing about it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because she's basically likening it to childbirth, essentially. | ||
| When you hear stories from the pro-choice crowd about abortions, they make it seem like it's no big deal. | ||
| You go in, and you don't even realize, and you're done. | ||
| This video made it very obvious that it was a taxing and disturbing procedure, where you hear like a vacuum turn on, and the woman's groaning. | ||
| The woman is groaning the whole time in agony, and they're like, you can do this. | ||
| Come on, come on, you can do it. | ||
| And she's like, ahhh! | ||
| And it's just like, You know what? | ||
| They're turning people pro-life hearing that. | ||
| Like, okay, no more of this. | ||
| This is scary. | ||
| I mean, it's like seeing genitals that are constructed out of people's forearms. | ||
| Yeah, that's also disgusting. | ||
| Show someone that. | ||
| Show someone a picture of that. | ||
| The thing that comes to mind is death cult. | ||
| It's a little term. | ||
| Familiar with it? | ||
| Mark Sauce says, Hey Luke, can you make a shirt with a hammer? | ||
| Thrower Turtle from Mario with David as the turtle and Paul as Mario. | ||
| My goodness. | ||
| I have some very spicy shirts, but that would be a little bit too spicy for everyone. | ||
| But again, still at the end of the day, someone got hurt here. | ||
| It's not good to celebrate that. | ||
| So no. | ||
| Derek Verbrugge says Breitbart falsely accused a libertarian journalist of assaulting Republican candidate Don Bolduc. | ||
| Do you have any comments on the story? | ||
| I did comment on the story earlier today. | ||
| And so far, I've seen dozens of people send me a 10-second video of Don Bolduc running out towards an empty lot, there's like a crowd of people to his right, and then two guys run up to his left, and he starts pointing at one of them, and then the cops run in. | ||
| If you think that's enough video for me to do a report or make a determination, then you are incorrect. | ||
| Because just like with the Covington kids, when everyone started sharing this minute or two minute long video of a kid standing in front of a Native American, and everyone's like, look at the horrible thing he did! | ||
| I was like, bro, I have no idea what's happening here. | ||
| Now everyone's saying, look, here's a video where a guy doesn't do something. | ||
| And I'm like, and? | ||
| I'm sorry, dude, if the guy was falsely accused, I have no idea. | ||
| I wasn't there and I have no evidence. | ||
| Yeah, the guy's speaking out publicly and is saying he did not assault him and that the exact opposite of that happened and that he's going to be pressing charges and a slander lawsuit against, um, what's his name? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don. | |
| The press. | ||
| I think he's going for the press or whatever. | ||
| But Don also, specifically, he's saying as well. | ||
| So here's the issue I have. | ||
| I can't look at a 10-second video and then tell you, wow, look at that bad thing that happened. | ||
| I will never do that. | ||
| So what's the possibilities? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The report that I saw said that someone swung at him as he was going to the debate, before the debate. | ||
| I see a video of a guy clearly leaving something, and then I see him point a guy out. | ||
| Is it possible that something happened prior and he went, hey officers, that's the guy I told you about? | ||
| So, look, I'm sorry if this dude's being falsely accused. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I'm not going to accuse anybody of doing anything. | ||
| That's all I can really say. | ||
| But I will tell you what's really annoying is when a bunch of activists spam me saying it's a fact, but I'm not going to give you any proof. | ||
| The absence of proof is proof we're right. | ||
| I can't do anything with that. | ||
| You know, like, guys, I get it, man. | ||
| I'm not a fan of people lying and making fake news, but there's nothing I can do, so. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Andy Deb says, congrats topping Swift. | ||
| I bought my copy on iTunes today. | ||
| Great song, even better video. | ||
| Thank you, very do appreciate it. | ||
| All right, all right. | ||
| Let's try and, uh... I do want to talk about things other than the song that people really like. | ||
| Rose says, Cheers, you guys. | ||
| Love the song. | ||
| Best part was watching Maddow say things she would never say on the air. | ||
| The truth. | ||
| Prost. | ||
| Seeing her smile. | ||
| Yeah, we were trying to figure out for the third verse, which is explicitly the media explicitly admitting that they're a machine meant to manipulate you, lie to you, and control your mind. | ||
| Trying to figure out who should be the one to do it. | ||
| You know, Micah Brzezinski, I thought would be funny because she had that famous line where she said it. | ||
| But then I was like, I think Taylor Lorenz is the right person to sing that line. | ||
| Because she's more more contemporary for like people in our age group, you know, especially with the libs of TikTok stuff. | ||
| I really like seeing Chris Cuomo smile, even though it was just our age group. | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
| Because we don't know how old Taylor is. | ||
| No, no, no, I'm saying for millennials, we know who she is. | ||
| It's a joke about the fact that she may be 60 years old, but we have no idea. | ||
| Well, I think she's in her 40s. | ||
| Is that what she is? | ||
| I think her wiki says she was born circa some year. | ||
| But she lied. | ||
| She tweeted out that she was 40-something and it confused a bunch of people, and now it's like no one knows. | ||
| I think she's probably in her early 40s. | ||
| She might be. | ||
| She might be 36. | ||
| I think she's 36. | ||
| She blocked me. | ||
| Well, she blocks everyone. | ||
| She's born somewhere between 84 and 87. | ||
| Like she's some medieval character, right? | ||
| That we have no idea. | ||
| The records are scarce about Taylor's existence. | ||
| Breaking the Flaw says, Tim Pool, I am the one accused but was elbowed by Don Bolduck. | ||
| It's okay video, go watch it. | ||
| I have watched it. | ||
| So, the Covington Catholic video shows a kid standing right up in the face of a Native American And there's like 30 seconds to a minute, and then everyone in the world, even conservatives, started attacking this kid. | ||
| I was sent that and said, bro, I have no idea what this video is. | ||
| And they're like, people were saying, Tim, Tim, look at what the kid is doing. | ||
| And I was getting spammed like crazy. | ||
| And I'm like, what is the kid doing? | ||
| I don't understand what's going on. | ||
| And it turned out, when I finally got a hold of the actual full stream, it was the Native American who actually assaulted the kid. | ||
| And so, look, bro, I get it. | ||
| But someone comes to me and says, I was elbowed. | ||
| I'm like, okay, dude, I need evidence. | ||
| And if there's no evidence, there's like a single video that's 10 seconds long, I can't do anything with that. | ||
| I can highlight the story and tell people, hey, there's this dispute happening, check it out, that's for sure. | ||
| But I can't make an assessment on it. | ||
| With Covington, was there an actual assault? | ||
| Was that in it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I think Covington was worse. | ||
| Yes, so it depends. | ||
| This was in D.C. | ||
| I don't know what D.C. | ||
| assault law is. | ||
| It could be colloquial assault or legal. | ||
| In Illinois, assault, if you get up in someone's face, you've assaulted them. | ||
| Battery would be making physical contact in a way that hurts or humiliates. | ||
| I don't know if DC has the same assault laws. | ||
| In New York, assault is physical harm done. | ||
| Meaning, in New York, what I was told by cops is, you can actually strike a person, But if you don't cause any visible injury or discernible injury, there's no crime. | ||
| Which, to me, is just nuts. | ||
| Because that means someone could grab you. | ||
| But in Illinois, if you are... This is crazy. | ||
| In Illinois, if I'm 20 feet away from you, and I grab a rock and raise my arm up, I've assaulted you. | ||
| I have put you within reasonable fear of bodily harm or physical harm. | ||
| I would think in New York, if you grab someone, that that might be... What would that be like? | ||
| If you're holding someone and you're not letting them go, that's different than pushing them. | ||
| What would that be called? | ||
| Detainment? | ||
| Like you can't detain someone. | ||
| That would be illegal. | ||
| But it also depends if someone has a bruise. | ||
| If you have a bruise, you could say this person caused it by hitting me here and then that other person is getting arrested in some jurisdictions. | ||
| It's just crazy. | ||
| The Covington thing was worse in some ways because we had video from the beginning and the charge was that the kid was being disrespectful towards an old man. | ||
| Even like National Review, they ran a story and they said that the Covington Catholic kids spit on the cross by standing there, basically, and not kowtowing to this Native American man pounding a drum. | ||
| They took the article down, I think. | ||
| We should talk to Nick Salmon at some point. | ||
| I don't know if you guys know him. | ||
| He'd be cool to talk to. | ||
| Mayonnaise says, major tornado outbreak in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas right now. | ||
| Prayers and thoughts to those affected. | ||
| Sadly, I know the Dems will be screeching about climate change tomorrow morning. | ||
| Yeah, we were in the green room, and this is the weirdest thing. | ||
| We were playing music, and I was showing... I think I was showing you, Badger, the song. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And then it auto-played a live stream of warning, tornadoes are slamming all these places, and I was like, I was like, what's going on? | ||
| Like, why are we getting an auto-play that's not music? | ||
| And then we were like, oh, is this live? | ||
| Like, oh man, that's crazy. | ||
| So, thoughts and prayers, man. | ||
| I hope everybody's okay. | ||
| JaegerTree says, the Paul Pelosi story changing this much and fast makes you talk so much that no one will care by the time the truth drops. | ||
| All disinfo wagging the dog. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| Hard to know, man. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Crystal Max says, I love the new song. | ||
| I was skeptical, I have to admit. | ||
| Long time listener and just knew you as a passionate politico. | ||
| Wow, you've proved me wrong. | ||
| Well, uh, check out Will of the People. | ||
| You know, it's funny, uh, we put out Will of the People two years ago, almost two years ago to date, to this day, and it's like got a long, it's a complex political narrative and storyline. | ||
| Then we did Only Ever Wanted, which is kind of like the minimal thought process of a song like there's there's | ||
| nothing really expansive about it. It's just a typical old song about like regret and that's it | ||
| Not complicated and then we put out this one, which is a bit more complicated | ||
| but much much simpler and Overtly political so we'll see which one does the best didn't | ||
| you write this one like 20 years ago or something? | ||
| the the like the melody and the like the rock of it like this the the guitar part I think | ||
| And then Carter added a bunch to it. | ||
| We changed, we adapted the lyrics. | ||
| Simply put, there has been an establishment elite machine for a long time, and so writing music, complaining about it for a long time is just a thing. | ||
| It's evergreen. | ||
| Right, yeah, it's evergreen. | ||
| But, uh, certain parts of it, we like, when we started working on it, we were like, Hey, let's, let's modernize. | ||
| And so people were like, it sounds like Green Day. | ||
| It's like, yeah, I wrote the guitar like a long time ago. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| People heard, heard, heard us playing it a few years ago on this show on a Friday night. | ||
| And so some people commented that they were excited. | ||
| We finally got it done, but it's crazy how, you know, something that was written so long ago, again, we did update some of it. | ||
| Uh, but how like it fits so well with the video that we did in terms of criticizing the media and all that stuff. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Tim Pauls, interesting name, says, Hey Tim, I love the video for losing my mind something weird. | ||
| I released a video on October 13th with the exact same concept. | ||
| Thought it was interesting. | ||
| We were thinking of the same idea. | ||
| It's on my channel. | ||
| It must be true by Tim Pauls. | ||
| I kind of can't believe that's real because your name sounds too much like mine. | ||
| So if you made a video that's similar, it's just, it's crazy sometimes, right? | ||
| Denise Ann says, we do not live in a democracy. | ||
| You are correct. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| We don't. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| What do we got? | ||
| Track Media Only says, remember when the left blames someone for something, they are really telling you what they want to do. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| When they, uh, when Elon started taking over, we saw all these leftists say, he's gonna ban us now! | ||
| And it's because that's what they would do if they were given the power. | ||
| They'd ban you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Johnny Atchinson says, saw Jordan Peterson live last night. | ||
| Best line of the night was, quote, Manipulation doesn't benefit you in the long run. | ||
| Deception turns reality into a force to be used against you. | ||
| Dems will never learn. | ||
| Well, I mean, you can manipulate something without deceiving. | ||
| Jordan, where you at? | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Malinformation was one of the things they're talking about. | ||
| Real facts that are presented in a false context to trick people. | ||
| So, oh man. | ||
| I think power is the deciding factor. | ||
| I mean, Like, it had to be someone like Musk who has power, but in his case it's money, that came in and could buy Twitter, you know? | ||
| So, I mean, like, I disagree with guys like Peterson that basically, like, inevitably this whole project collapses. | ||
| I think you need people like Musk. | ||
| You need elites, in other words, in power that can ultimately change the tide. | ||
| I don't think that in the market of ideas things can just naturally win. | ||
| I think you need a decisive factor, whether that's someone like Trump or someone like Musk. | ||
| This is interesting. | ||
| Nate Slocum says, DPAP is being held as illegally staying in the U.S. from Canada, | ||
| will be deported, and will never find the truth. | ||
|

|
Hmm. | |
| Hmm. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Or suicide. | ||
| He might commit suicide. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| Well, I don't know about that one. | ||
| No. | ||
| But I think they'll, uh... Those Canadians, man. | ||
| We gotta close the border. | ||
| It's dangerous. | ||
| Legamuth again says, if we all get out and vote, we can initiate a process to accomplish in this country what Elon has accomplished in Twitter. | ||
| Let us all get out and vote red. | ||
| Not rest on our laurels in overconfidence and not surrender to the black pill of possible fraud or suppression. | ||
| Completely agreed. | ||
| Y'all must get your friends, go out and vote. | ||
| Tuesday, it's coming up. | ||
| We're gonna be having a long show probably that day. | ||
| We're gonna have wings and pizza and drinks and whatever. | ||
| We have a rotating crew and we're gonna be talking about all this. | ||
| Just having a good time hanging out. | ||
| But this is it, man. | ||
| All right, Chris Wood says, Well, it's all you guys who made it possible. | ||
| Look, I can sing. | ||
| I can write a song. | ||
| Carter can engineer it. | ||
| Ian can do backups and then, you know, be the reporter in our video and all that stuff. | ||
| If nobody watches it, it's nothing. | ||
| So it really is you guys sharing it, you guys watching it, you guys buying it. | ||
| When you buy it and push it to the top of the charts, then all of a sudden all these other people start seeing it. | ||
| They're like, what's this song? | ||
| Why is like a pop punky kind of song now a number one? | ||
| There you go. | ||
| People are going to hear it and they're going to be like, what's this all about? | ||
| There was a really great super chat that I really want to find. | ||
| Uh, that, man, it was just too good. | ||
| Let me see if I can, uh, if I can find it. | ||
| I remember it was, uh, someone complaining in a funny way. | ||
| I'm gonna, here we go. | ||
| Got it! | ||
| There we, there is Aaron Barry. | ||
| Tim, I am appalled by your new fake news music video. | ||
| When you showed a news bar saying fiery but mostly peaceful drone strikes, you clearly showed a manned McDonnell Douglas F-15, not an unmanned drone. | ||
| Congrats, man. | ||
| Great video, great song. | ||
| You are correct. | ||
| We actually talked about this in the production. | ||
| I said maybe we should have it say airstrike. | ||
| And then we ultimately, in the edit, when it got to the near the final version, it still said drone strike. | ||
| And I was like, no, no, no, no, it should say drone strike because drone strike is a political concept we're familiar with. | ||
| And the video is just the video. | ||
| So I know we did show an F-15, but the idea was to make a commentary on drone strikes, not a commentary on the video we were playing. | ||
| Good catch though. | ||
| Yeah, very good catch. | ||
| And calling out a manned McDonnell Douglas F-15. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Group B says Reddit has a premium service with r slash lounge and nobody bats an eye. | ||
| Elon rolls out Twitter blue with checkmarks and everyone loses their minds. | ||
| I'm glad that AOC went nuts over it. | ||
| We need the debate. | ||
| It's better than her just being silent and trying to pass some legislation to screw the guy over. | ||
| Someone just did a GoFundMe for AOC so she could afford the blue checkmark. | ||
| It's going viral on Twitter. | ||
|

I tweeted it. | |
| A GoFundMe for eight dollars. | ||
| I look, you know, Elon, he doesn't get it. | ||
| Communists don't want to pay for things. | ||
| It's just, it's simple math. | ||
| Communist, I want free stuff. | ||
| Twitter should be free. | ||
| Elon says, but we have to pay to make it work. | ||
| And they go, no, we don't have to pay for it. | ||
| So, okay, dude, go to Mastodon or whatever. | ||
| They like to spend your money, but not mine. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Just because I like it says I'm always 15 to 20 minutes late to the stream, so I play it at 1.5 speed until it catches up to live. | ||
| Tonight I thought everyone was drunk talking so slow from the Louis XIII. | ||
| I haven't had alcohol in like... | ||
| The last time we opened the bottle and in a very long time. | ||
| Yeah, I think I had like a third of an ounce. | ||
| So it's hitting me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Luke stopped. | ||
| You had a fuller glass. | ||
| Yeah, he did. | ||
| I'm like, I'm like, you know, nursing it very slowly. | ||
| Last time I had it was when Lauren Southern poured a little into a paper cup and then put some honey in it. | ||
| It's illegal in Poland to waste alcohol. | ||
| Rusty Shackelford says, Luke and Tim, what are y'all wearing on your wrists? | ||
| Also release your songs on vinyl. | ||
| We will release the songs on vinyl. | ||
| We're really excited for that. | ||
| And these, they're given to you... NSA spying devices. | ||
| Yeah, after you complete training at Quantico, everybody gets these special bracelets. | ||
| They're health monitoring devices and communications devices, but they can also be activated to It releases a sedative, so if you begin saying the wrong thing, you just collapse. | ||
| They're just special op devices that, you know, if we mention certain topics or certain individuals here... Wait, wait, don't say it! | ||
| It'll activate the device. | ||
| They're actually WHOOPS. | ||
| It's called WHOOP. | ||
| It's W-H-O-O-P. | ||
| It's a fitness tracker. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| But also an NSA spying device. | ||

You were lying about that. | |
| It tracks your heart rate, your heart rate variability, your calories, your stress, your strain. | ||
| Temperature. | ||
| Respiratory rate. | ||
| The technocrats are salivating. | ||
| It does kind of annoy me sometimes, but It tells you if you're getting sick before you even realize it and that's amazing. | ||
| So I woke up and it's like warning your body temperature is elevated and your heart rate variability is low and your recovery is low and I felt fine and I was just like, why is my temperature going up? | ||
| So sure enough, I went and I slammed vitamin C and zinc, and then by the next day, I had like a light cold. | ||
| And then I was like, it probably would have been worse if I didn't start taking the vitamins. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| I like that it can tell you if you're starting to swell before you feel it. | ||
| I don't like that it can set your placebo mind and make you think that you're sick when you're not. | ||
| Well, I've been like doing a lot of like Like health stuff, so it's a great way to see if it's working or not working, or what I'm doing is going to be good for me or not for me. | ||
| But don't give them your private information. | ||
| I think I'm a Ligma Johnson on here. | ||
| Fake name, fake address, fake email. | ||
| Have you found that they're awesome, though, and effective? | ||
| All right, we'll grab one more. | ||
| Juan Castle says, Tim, the bigger question here, where was Luke on the new music video? | ||
| At least have him play the cowbell. | ||
| Well, you know, when we were filming this, Luke was sleeping. | ||
| I was testing my health with the Whoop app and making sure I was recovering from an extensive hard workout. | ||
| I'm sleeping! | ||
| I think you actually had... I was sleeping. | ||
| You guys were knocking on my door. | ||
| I'm like, I just can't. | ||
| I had bad sleep. | ||
| Hugh Jennings says you should do an acoustic version of Genocide. | ||
| Maybe we will. | ||
| Maybe we'll do a special session, like acoustic version, and then we'll see. | ||
| My friends, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and help us hit the top spot on Billboard. | ||
| I mean, we hit iTunes number one in about eight hours displacing Taylor Swift who's currently hot number one on the hot 100 if every single person right now listening went on iTunes or just went to the link in the description below or I think losingmymind.com if you bought the song not just listen to it literally bought it if the 40 some odd thousand live concurrence bought it | ||
| I'm pretty sure that would put us in the top ten. | ||
| Maybe not, maybe not. | ||
| That's bold. | ||
| But that combined with all the streams and everything, we'd probably do really, really well. | ||
| That being said, if every single person who ends up watching this show, it's gonna end up being, I think, like, three to four hundred thousand, spent the sixty-nine cents to just buy that song, not only would that be a lot of money for the company that we'd use to fund more stuff, we would definitely hit number one. | ||
| So, if you like the song, and you wanna support us, and you wanna support us producing more songs, and even signing on new artists and things like that, Definitely go to LosingMyMind.com, find the song on iTunes. | ||
| The music video on YouTube, there is a link to buy the song, so you can check that out too. | ||
| I'm feeling pretty good about this one. | ||
| I think the response has been really great, so we really do appreciate it. | ||

| Thank you so much for coming. | ||
| Celebrate your victories! | ||
| The conversation ends here, but I have another conversation starting up on LukeUncensored.com. | ||
| I have a forum on there. | ||
| I just did a video there about the real Skynet, a creepy video about what's happening in China coming here to the United States. | ||
| LukeUncensored.com. | ||
| See you there. | ||
| Skynet is a real company. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| It's real software being used in China. | ||
| That's AI facial identification. | ||
| That's absolutely terrifying. | ||
| But in China, they're going to use Skynet for good. | ||
| And it's actually based on the real Terminator Skynet analogy. | ||
| I got chills. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
| Hey, love you guys. | ||
| Pedro, good to see you again, man. | ||
| You too. | ||
| And have a good weekend. | ||
| Take care of yourself. | ||
| Get some rest. | ||
| Get some sleep. | ||
| Get some water. | ||
| Hydrate. | ||
| Make love. | ||
| Make peace. | ||
| Have fun. | ||
| Catch you later. | ||
| Like, never forget that Donald Trump won in 2016 and then got three Supreme Court justices who then did a bunch of things you liked. | ||
| Is it perfect? | ||
| No. | ||
| But yo, legit, if Trump can win in 2016, whatever you think, all you gotta do is get everybody to go out to vote, and then you would be surprised. | ||
| There's one thing I'm really looking forward to. | ||
| If the Republicans win the Senate, and it's looking like they will, but they need your vote, Rand Paul will be high-ranking or chair like the health committee. | ||
| This is what I've heard. | ||
| It's like someone tweeted about it and I was just like, that may be the greatest thing I've heard yet and the one reason why it's worth it. | ||
| If nothing else, I'm a big fan of the Pauls, both Ron and Rand. | ||
| And I've already seen what Rand had to say to Fauci. | ||
| Imagine if he's actually in charge and has some subpoena power or actually can move the needle a little bit. | ||
| That's gonna be really, really great. | ||
| But we'll be back Monday to remind all of you to go vote on Tuesday. | ||
| And I will say one more time a sincere thank you to everybody who bought the song. | ||
| It means so much to me and to everybody who worked on it. | ||
| Seriously, it's incredible and I thank you all so much. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out and we'll see you all next time. |
