| We got a lot of good news for you guys. | ||
| Get those black pills out of your mouths. | ||
| The first big story is that a judge has ruled in favor of Andy Ngo, and alleged Antifa members must pay him a combined $300,000 over damages in the Portland attack. | ||
| So we'll go through that. | ||
| That's a tremendous victory. | ||
| We also have An anti-Trump Democrat arsonist who set fire to a Trump sign twice has been identified, reported to the police, and according to Benny Johnson, his source says this man has admitted his crimes. | ||
| We put up a reward to catch this guy after a local man posted Nest video footage showing this anti-Trump bike bicyclist setting fire to a house where he knew he | ||
| could cause massive damage, potentially take lives. And now we caught the guy. So that's the really, | ||
| really good news. There's a lot more in the big news. You've got Donald Trump's bail | ||
| being set at two hundred thousand dollars. So we'll get into that in a bit. We're learning | ||
| more about Hunter Biden and allegations. And I think this is going to come out that Joe | ||
| Biden's DOJ intervened specifically explicitly to protect. | ||
| Joe Biden's administration is protecting Hunter Biden, to put it that way. | ||
| Apparently, there was instruction for this prosecutor not to go after Hunter, and the only way that's possible, many GOP members are alluding, is if Joe Biden himself intervened. | ||
| But we'll get into all that. | ||
| Before we get started, my friends, we have a bunch of announcements. | ||
| First, head over to CastBrew.com! | ||
| Buy our coffee to support the show. | ||
| We sponsor ourselves, ladies and gentlemen, and this is the best cup of coffee you'll ever have. | ||
| I guarantee it, and I can guarantee it because it's an opinion statement. | ||
| That doesn't mean a whole lot, but I really do like the coffee. | ||
| I think it's pretty good. | ||
| Rise with the Birdo Jr. | ||
| and Appalachian Nights are personally my favorite. | ||
| We got whole bean, we got ground, we have the Casbro Coffee Club, where you'll get three bags every month. | ||
| We also have K-Cups available, and I definitely recommend, people are cheering for our un-woke decaf, but more importantly, Sleepy Joe. | ||
| People seem to really, really like the Sleepy Joe decaf, mostly because they like the bag and the name of the coffee. | ||
| But shout out to the TimCast members for coming up with that one. | ||
| Also, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member to support our work directly. | ||
| As a member, you get access to the uncensored members-only shows Monday through Thursday. | ||
| And as a member, if you've signed up for at least six months or at the $25 per month level, you can submit questions and call into the show to talk to us and our guests. | ||
| I also have a special announcement. | ||
| Probably due to a lack of proper judgment, I am announcing that I am committing $20,000 towards prizes at a local DIY skateboarding jam best trick contest. | ||
| This is the August 26th 12pm Martinsburg, West Virginia, 10th Cluckin' Year Anniversary Skate Park Jam, music, games, food, free parking, at the Raleigh Street Skate Spot with support from Embark Skate Shop. | ||
| I have not conveyed this to any of the people involved at all, nor have I done anything to organize anything related to this, but I figure Putting up $20,000 towards a local skate event in the area will probably help attract a lot of people to the area, will help local businesses with how many people may end up buying food, and I'm hoping that by offering $12,000 for a first place prize at a local DIY skate jam, a lot of skateboarders from all over will show up, and this will be one of the coolest events we've ever had. | ||
| So if you're a skateboarder, if you know any skateboarders, and you would like to have First place, $12,000. | ||
| Second place, $6,000. | ||
| And third place, $2,000. | ||
| And I'm just, I'm telling you, that's also, like, maybe the people running it also have prizes. | ||
| So, whatever they give, too. | ||
| Additionally, professional skateboarder Richie Jackson will be there to assist in judging, at least as far as it goes with our portion of any prizes. | ||
| And there will be a lot more prizes to give out, cash prizes, for a variety of different things we may end up doing. | ||
| It's gonna be totally random. | ||
| As I've tweeted, I have done nothing to organize this. | ||
| I have no idea how it'll even be possible, but it sounds like it's gonna be fun. | ||
| This is August 26, Martinsburg, West Virginia, and I hope you come and hang out. | ||
| Okay, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends. | ||
| Joining us tonight to talk about this and a whole lot more is Lauren Brown. | ||
| Hi! | ||
| Thanks for having me here. | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| Well, I'm Lauren Brown. | ||
| I'm a woman of many names, though. | ||
| Oh, sorry. | ||
| A woman of many names, though. | ||
| I go by Elle on social media. | ||
| Before that, I went by SomeBeeIknow, to quote Rachel Maddow. | ||
| Starts with B, rhymes with Mitch. | ||
| You can fill in the blank there. | ||
| I gained a small platform on accident, really, in 2020, putting out reports on COVID numbers, and my platform grew really rapidly, and I just figured I would be kind of a jerk if I didn't try to figure out What to do with it. | ||
| So now I kind of work on big picture connectivity and timeline work and I have my own show. | ||
| It's called Big Dig Energy that I do three times a week on Rumble. | ||
| And that's just do stuff on the Internet, I guess. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. | ||
| It should be fun. | ||
| We also have Hannah Clare back hanging out. | ||
| Hey, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow. | ||
| I'm a writer for TimCast.com. | ||
| It's the best. | ||
| You should get all of your news exclusively from that. | ||
| I'm biased, though. | ||
| Ian's here. | ||
| Hi, everyone. | ||
| Ian Crossland. | ||
| Happy to be here. | ||
| I got this cool shirt. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| It's an entire outfit, but I'm not sure. | ||
| I'm not going to show the pants. | ||
| It's gorgeous green velvet. | ||
| I love it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think we should give it to Nikki. | |
| It just reminds me of that Jerry Seinfeld episode where he's like, but I don't want to be a pirate. | ||
| Yeah, the puffy shirt. | ||
| The puffy shirt. | ||
| It's my own personal puffy shirt. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Hey, I'm Surge.com. | ||
| The coffee is good. | ||
| I'm having Stand Your Grounds. | ||
| A little bit darker roast than I like, but it's really good. | ||
| So far, my second favorite behind Appalachian Nights, but I've only tried those two. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I describe it as like a combination of Rise of the Birdo Jr. | ||
| and Appalachian Nights. | ||
| Strangely, it's very... This one here? | ||
| Yeah, it's like a mix. | ||
| It's like a, you know, it's a medium. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Anyway, let's talk about news! | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| We've got really good news for you guys to start off with. | ||
| Breaking from the post-millennial, Judge Rules Against Antifa Defendants in Default awards Andy Ngo $300,000 in damages over Portland attack. | ||
| Each defendant has been ordered to pay Andy Ngo $100,000. | ||
| I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't see how Andy Ngo collects, but maybe... I mean, I'm assuming the net worth of these Antifa people... | ||
| Probably in the, like, the negatives. | ||
| So, uh, good luck to Andy. | ||
| But hey, it's a spiritual victory. | ||
| It is a monetary victory. | ||
| And, you know, it's entirely possible that many of these Antifa people come from wealthy families. | ||
| They may have to just write him a check. | ||
| I hope Andy Ngo takes a nice beautiful vacation and buys himself a fancy car. | ||
| The court ruled in favor of post-millennial senior editor Andy Ngo on Monday in his civil trial against the remaining three alleged Antifa defendants that had physically attacked him in June 2019. | ||
| Defendants Corbin Bellia, Madison Leigh-Allen, and Samich Overkill-Schatzdeputy, that's the name, were found liable by Judge Sinapolisai for assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. | ||
| Each defendant has been ordered to pay, no, $100,000 in damages. | ||
| The virtual trial was held at the Multnomah County Courthouse on Monday after the three defendants were found in default for not responding to the court order to appear at the civil jury trial, which was held earlier this month. | ||
| Defendants Belia, Allen, and Schott's deputy, the guy changed his name apparently to that for that reason, We're allegedly involved in the June 29th, 2019 attack on Noh, in which he was brutally beaten by a mob of alleged Antifa members. | ||
| They're very careful with their fear of litigation. | ||
| While reporting on an event in Portland, Oregon, the attack received nationwide attention, and is most commonly referred to as the Milkshake Incident. | ||
| Noh was left severely injured and was admitted to the hospital after the attack left him with significant injury to the brain. | ||
| So we have, uh, I believe Andy Ngo has issued a statement saying at a hearing today regarding three defaulted Antifa defendants in my Ngo vs. V Rose City Antifa et al lawsuit. | ||
| The court heard evidence about the brutal 2019 beating I suffered at a Rose City Antifa event. | ||
| Where I was seriously injured, the court found that I was indeed battered and assaulted by Madison Denny Lee Allen, Catherine Corbin Bellia, and Samich Overkill shot deputy, formerly Joseph Christian Evans. | ||
| The court awarded me $300,000 to be split equally among these three attackers. | ||
| So here's what I want to say as we jump into the conversation. | ||
| The reason why these three individuals did not show up to court and were found in default, they were guilty, discernibly guilty, visibly guilty, in my opinion. | ||
| What I'm saying is, there's video footage of the attack, and as Andy Ngo tweeted, the judge found that they did commit battery and attack him. | ||
| I think they knew. | ||
| If they go in, they may even be arrested on criminal charges, but... | ||
| They actually, some of, my understanding is they did show up to the trial to watch. | ||
| After they defaulted, they then sat and watched the other people. | ||
| The other people that were being, that were on trial were found not liable. | ||
| And so this was pushed by the left as like, oh, Andy Ngo loses, it's a failure, blah blah blah. | ||
| But, now we have... | ||
| The award to Andy Ngo for $300,000. | ||
| Now, I know a lot of people are saying, oh, there's crazy stuff going on. | ||
| Someone super chatted already saying that they like some cop cars were set on fire in Asheville. | ||
| We do have that story. | ||
| And so everyone's very, very worried. | ||
| But my friends, we start you off today with a white pill. | ||
| Yo, Andy Ngo won $300,000! | ||
| So it's not a foregone conclusion. | ||
| Anybody trying to tell you to give up, it's over, Trump can't win, they're wrong. | ||
| They're completely wrong. | ||
| All of these never-Trumpers who keep saying Trump can't win, they're wrong. | ||
| I got the data to back that up, and we'll get into it. | ||
| But for the time being, here you go everybody. | ||
| It's a good day, huh? | ||
| Yeah, especially when it's a victory in basically what I would deem a hostile courtroom, right? | ||
| This is in Portland. | ||
| Hostile territory. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I think you're right. | ||
| It's hard to see if they'll actually ever pay out. | ||
| Maybe he has to get in line behind their student loan debt creditors, but there's a chance. | ||
| And it doesn't matter either way because they ruled in his favor. | ||
| It would be crazy to look at the videos of this attack. | ||
| Didn't they mix like concrete with this milkshake? | ||
| Yeah, the left claims they didn't. | ||
| But there are many reports that they did. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's a serious assault, and if any court had ruled any other way, we would really know that that whole city was a lost territory, in my opinion. | ||
| I think it's a good sign in general, too, because he was working with a group, Center for American Liberty, that people are growing a backbone and actually getting, you know, involved in litigation and taking things to the court system rather than just kind of grousing about it online. | ||
| They did work with, like, Simon Atiba. | ||
| I love him. | ||
| uh... and also have been i don't know if it's the same organization but launched a | ||
| lawsuit against the center for countering digital hate because they | ||
| keep targeting people on social media platforms i think that that | ||
| generally speaking aside from the stuff with andy it's just a good sign of | ||
| things to come absolutely because people have to get involved in | ||
|
unidentified
|
actually take things again i had a these lefties are really angry | |
| They're mad that Andy Ngo actually won. | ||
| They tried making that claim, as I mentioned earlier, that because the judge ruled in favor of the other two Antifa, Andy Ngo loses. | ||
| Ha ha ha. | ||
| Yeah, but we knew, and we said this, the reason these guys skipped is likely because there's visible evidence of them committing this crime against Andy, and they're going to lose in court. | ||
| So by not showing up, they lose anyway. | ||
| They don't waste their time. | ||
| Concern for that judge and his safety, honestly. | ||
| And I have to wonder, you know, when it came to the first jury, the lawyer for Antifa actually said, I'm going to remember all of you, right? | ||
| And they were concerned from the jury that they were going to be doxed and threatened. | ||
| So I'm assuming the judge ordered this, but look, the judge had no choice. | ||
| I bet the judge was pissed off about it. | ||
| A Portland judge, probably super far left, but has no choice. | ||
| They're in default. | ||
| There's video. | ||
| They have no way to defend any of their actions. | ||
| And you know when. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, maybe that's good then, right? | ||
| Like, of course, intimidating the jury is bad. | ||
| Of course, we want the judge to be safe. | ||
| But maybe it's a good sign that they were like, we're not even going to try and fight this because there's no way out of it, right? | ||
| Like, there are times that people need to see that you can push back and they will cave. | ||
| I think so often, because Antifa gets off and sort of easy, police don't prosecute them the same way they would other criminals. | ||
| It's easy to think there's no getting around them, they just get treated differently, and it's good to see Andy Ngo win this. | ||
| I guess I'm wondering what y'all think's gonna happen in the next year, right? | ||
| I don't think we've had a particularly lively summer this year. | ||
| It's an off-election year, so it's pretty chill. | ||
| But what ends up happening, it's really funny, you get these election years where there's absolute bedlam. | ||
| And everyone's like, the apocalypse is happening. | ||
| And then you get an off election year and everyone's like, you know what, maybe I overreact and everything's totally fine. | ||
| Then you get another election year and it's worse than it was the previous year. | ||
| So I'm wondering, what do you guys think? | ||
| 2024, is it gonna get nuts? | ||
| I heard that people wanted to mask other people up again. | ||
| So I think it's COVID. | ||
| That is happening. | ||
| It was this lockdown stuff that drove people insane out onto the streets and rioting and crap. | ||
| So we didn't do it this year. | ||
| We didn't have the riots. | ||
| Let's not do it again next year. | ||
| I mean, I'm in such a state of civil disobedience right now. | ||
| I have so low interest in wrapping diapers on my face. | ||
| I got COVID. | ||
| I killed COVID. | ||
| I feel great now. | ||
| I don't want to go through this bullshit again. | ||
| So stand with me and let's shut it down before it begins. | ||
| Have a free and open society like we're meant to have. | ||
| I was talking about this earlier today because I went to Portland this weekend. | ||
| Portland? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maine? | |
| I don't know about the rest of Maine, but Portland. | ||
| They never got rid of their COVID policies. | ||
| So there's still, in the city, when you're walking down the street, you know how they put those banners on streetlights? | ||
| They all say, like, wear your mask, you must wear your mask, and things like that, with cartoon pictures of people wearing masks. | ||
| And, uh, the crazy story that I told is, the local casino in the area, they have, like, one in the whole state. | ||
| Well, there's a couple. | ||
| But the one in the area, it's called Oxford. | ||
| When you play a table game, these table poker games, you're not supposed to show your cards to anybody because it gives the players an advantage. | ||
| Because of their COVID policies still in effect today, they lay the cards down face up in front of everyone to see, so all the players can see the cards everyone else has, giving the players a massive edge against the casino. | ||
| Now, most people probably don't care about the casino stuff, but I'm just telling you, this was my, I cannot believe that it is 2023 entering 2024, and in Maine, they still have such ridiculous and extreme COVID lockdown policies in place. | ||
| The only thing people said to me is, outside of the casino, for the most part, everyone ignores the lockdown measures. | ||
| And I'm surprised the casino doesn't at least try to get the city to repeal them or whatever else because it seems like they would just lose money by giving everyone else an advantage. | ||
| I'll just tell you guys, we made two grand. | ||
| Yeah, me and Allison, my girlfriend, we played 200 bucks each. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| And we walked out with over $2,000 because, like, when you can see the other player's cards, you can calculate your odds really easily. | ||
| It's like, imagine if the casino was forced to allow you to count cards and explain to you the counting of cards. | ||
| You'd just be winning at blackjack all the time. | ||
| That's basically like, oh, I can see that no one else has any aces and I have ace king. | ||
| It's like, I'm going to bet really big. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| I won. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, in terms of what's going to happen next year, I feel like I would want to look at the violent crime statistics, which spiked after COVID, and obviously we had our fun summer of love. | ||
| An election year will probably put people on edge if they do try and enforce some kind of lockdown in the fall, like I've heard rumors are going to. | ||
| Then maybe people will be on edge. | ||
| But generally, I think we are actually becoming more accustomed to violence right now. | ||
| We're more used to seeing violent incidents reported. | ||
| And so in some ways, yes, there weren't like major riotings the way there were in 2020. | ||
| On the other hand, we are actually seeing generally unrest in major cities across the country. | ||
| You know, to actually worry about this Andy Ngo verdict is that it will make things worse. | ||
| And the reason is, Who is going to enforce that $300,000 against these individuals? | ||
| These are derelict individuals as it is. | ||
| So Andy, like I mentioned, they probably have negative money. | ||
| There's a moral victory here, but the reason why I fear there's a potential for escalation is when Antifa realize the courts have no real enforcement authority against people who own nothing, There's nothing that can be done. | ||
| These individuals we would call judgment-proof. | ||
| Now, don't get me wrong, they may actually be trust fund babies. | ||
| A lot of these far-left extremists come from very wealthy families. | ||
| So they may be going, Mom, I have to pay a hundred grand. | ||
| And they're like, just take it out of one of the accounts. | ||
| I don't care who cares. | ||
| And then they write a check. | ||
| If that's it, good. | ||
| And you know, gets $300,000, I hope he buys himself a Tesla or something. | ||
| But I think there's a strong possibility these individuals don't own anything. | ||
| They have no money. | ||
| Their net worth is probably in the range of like a couple hundred dollars. | ||
| So what's gonna happen? | ||
| Andy Ngo's gonna have a sheriff come knock on the door and be like, well, we're taking what you do have and he's gonna get an old pair of leather boots or something? | ||
| He's gonna get like an Antifa outfit. | ||
| And how much has he spent on his defense right now? | ||
| I mean, he must have so much money locked up in legal fees. | ||
| Potentially, he could garnish wages. | ||
| But do they have wages? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| And so other Antifa could be like, hey, look, nothing bad happened. | ||
| They didn't go to jail. | ||
| Even though the judge was like, yeah, they did it. | ||
| Even if they got arrested, they'd just be set loose again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yup. | |
| Is there, if you don't pay 100k, if they're just like, nah, screw you, don't they get arrested and go to jail then? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| No, they do not. | ||
| Just held for 30 days? | ||
| We don't have debtor's prisons anymore. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| No, what, uh, what would happen is, like, let's say you got sued and you didn't pay, then the court would be like, they'd go to the sheriff and be like, this person's in default for a court-ordered payment. | ||
| The sheriff comes and knocks on the door and says, like, we're here to collect belongings and you can be like, I don't have anything. | ||
| So garnish wages in perpetuity until it's paid off? | ||
| Garnish wages is a possibility, but that means these people are getting paid through an actual payroll company or something. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| These people are like derelict extremists. | ||
| They're gonna get paid under the table. | ||
| They're gonna go to some ally in Portland, and they're gonna say, you gotta pay me under- They're gonna go to a proper business, even a McDonald's, and they'll go to the far-left extremist person who works there and be like, just pay me under the table. | ||
| And they'll be like, you got it. | ||
| Maybe not a McDonald's, because there's a lot of red tape there, but there will be like a mom-and-pop cafe, and they'll be like, don't worry, we'll pay you cash and no one will know what's happening. | ||
| And then Andy No can't get any of your money. | ||
| I just have to find someone who's sympathetic to it, and they'll be on board. | ||
| Not hard to do in Portland. | ||
| No. | ||
| But we do have more good news, my friends. | ||
| I have another big story for you guys that happened over the weekend. | ||
| From the post-millennial! | ||
| Suspected Trump 1 flag arsonist identified using Strava after reward offered by Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, as well as John Cain, the man who posted the video in the first place. | ||
| Now, I don't want to identify the individual just yet. | ||
| The individual who's been named, but, uh, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna, uh, not post anything from this just yet, but I will just say, there is a viral video going around where a bicyclist rides up to a truck, a sign in someone's yard that says Trump won, starts kicking it, comes back later and sets it on fire, comes back for a second time after it was rebuilt, sets it on fire again. | ||
| In one of the videos, there's an American flag hanging above it. | ||
| He tries pushing it out of the way, clearly expressing knowledge that he could be starting a major fire, and he didn't want to, he wanted to move the flag out of the way, but then it just falls right back and shuts the fire anyway. | ||
| He knew that this fire could have spread to the trees, burned down homes, potentially caused another major wildfire, but the good news is, he's been identified! | ||
| And, uh, we, uh, so I had seen the video that said $1,000 reward for this. | ||
| I offered $5,000. | ||
| Benny Johnson quickly came out, offered another $5,000. | ||
| And then a man in California identified the guy. | ||
| Here's the crazy part. | ||
| He was identified using his Strava bicycle, like GPS tracker. | ||
| So basically, these, like, people who go for jogs and bike will get this app, I guess, and it will show, publicly, the route you take. | ||
| Somebody found the guy who's got a tattoo on his arm of, like, a teddy bear or something, and then they saw him in a news story, got his name, and then they looked up his Strava account, because he's a bicyclist, and they found that he rode his bike in that area at the time of the arson, Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. | ||
| Dude, it's amazing you had your Strava active while you were going to go commit a crime. | ||
| Because I used Strava years ago, like probably 10 years ago, even less than that. | ||
| It's very accurate as to where you were. | ||
| To have that on just to get the claim for how many miles you did while you're committing a crime in the middle of nowhere. | ||
| Arson, dude! | ||
| I need my miles, though! | ||
| Now this one got some lefties really, really mad at me. | ||
| And they were... I got some messages where they were like, why are you offering a reward for this? | ||
| And I was like, the dude committed arson twice, man! | ||
| The only way we de-escalate what's going on with all the extremism and the violence is if there is a neutral arbiter of the law that just says, you cannot commit arson. | ||
| The idea that there are lefties being like, this man should not be criminally charged for this just shows... | ||
| Kinda how far gone we are right now in our cultural divide. | ||
| Yeah, that the guy didn't turn his Strava off indicates, like, what did he, like, where's the brainpower right now about people just committing crimes and thinking they're not gonna get caught or get in trouble for it? | ||
| Or they're justified. | ||
| Like, maybe he was like, this sign is ruining the neighborhood, it's wrong. | ||
| They're insane. | ||
| It doesn't make any sense. | ||
| It's like a kid that has anger issues and gets thrown in juvie. | ||
| Like, sometimes you just gotta face the music once to know what you're up against, because the legal system does not give a fuck. | ||
| And I think we should all be against arsonists. | ||
| I know that's a strong stance to take, but I'm willing to say, like, if you're gonna burn someone's private property down, I think that's bad. | ||
| We should collectively agree. | ||
| If he went back twice and he still had it going, just to record the extra miles, to get the extra miles in his account, that's amazing. | ||
| I hope that the threat of potentially burning down the house and the area around the fire adds extra charges to this guy. | ||
| Oh, he's got to get, like, attempted murder. | ||
| I mean, I don't see him doing it. | ||
| But there's got to be some charges. | ||
| So Benny Johnson tweeted that apparently this guy has already confessed to the police. | ||
| They came by and said, did you do this? | ||
| He said yes. | ||
| And, you know, to varying degrees, he may or may not have been crying when he confessed to having done it. | ||
| I think this guy is so riddled with Trump derangement syndrome that his brain is just doesn't it doesn't work. | ||
| So when he rides his bike, normal guy just rides the bike. | ||
| You see a sign. | ||
| You don't like you go. | ||
| You roll your eyes. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He loses it. | ||
| Completely loses it and then commits arson on two different occasions. | ||
| Did he know the guy whose house it was? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Because that would make it premeditated. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| I can't imagine getting that mad over anything, to be quite honest. | ||
| Maybe he like rode past it every day for months and he just lost it. | ||
| Actually, is premeditated arson more of a crime than just on a whim? | ||
| I mean... Because he went back the second time. | ||
| We must ask a lawyer, but you're right, going back the second time shows that he had He went there two lighted on fire. | ||
| He went back a couple days later, too. | ||
| It's like he must have really went home and stewed on it so much. | ||
| He's like, I gotta go burn that thing down. | ||
| Let me play the video for everybody. | ||
| Look, here's the thing. | ||
| Innocent until proven guilty. | ||
| So people are putting out his name and everything right now, which was the intention. | ||
| My intention with the reward is what I said was information that leads to the arrest and conviction of this individual. | ||
| I'm not going to be posting his name or anything like that. | ||
| His name is on all the news articles, so it can be easily looked up, but I think the evidence is pretty damning. | ||
| The identification that they have for him, but innocent until proven guilty, so here's the video. | ||
| Here you can see on August 12th, he rides up. | ||
| Just starts kicking it. | ||
| For being a bicycle. | ||
| No, but here's the crazy thing. | ||
| Weak legs. | ||
| No, but why is he kicking it? | ||
| He's also trespassing. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| What does kicking the sign do other than he's just very, very angry? | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Well, he probably wants to break it, right? | ||
| He wants it to be ripped. | ||
| That way people can't read it as easily. | ||
| But he didn't even get off his bike. | ||
| He's thinking about lighting a fire right now. | ||
| He's not as mad as he could be. | ||
| He's thinking about it. | ||
| He's like, it's made of wood, I'm gonna get it. | ||
| Well, it's August 12th, 714 AM. | ||
| When did he come back? | ||
| He comes back, I think that night. | ||
| Oh no, a day later. | ||
| Look at this, look at this. | ||
| 420 in the morning. | ||
| So see how he tries to move the flag out of the way? | ||
| He knows he could start a major fire. | ||
| And then it just falls right back, it didn't do anything. | ||
| And he came prepared with a lighter. | ||
| Oh, that's premeditated for sure. | ||
| It's like a big lighter. | ||
| Yeah, it's not like a lighter that you use to like, I don't know, smoke or whatever. | ||
| You use it to start like your campfire. | ||
| Your grill, yeah. | ||
| Your candles. | ||
| This guy belongs in prison. | ||
| I love how he runs away. | ||
| He needs to learn why you don't set things on fire. | ||
| Well, he doesn't want to get burned, Serge. | ||
| Of course he does. | ||
| Right, yeah, it's such a huge fire. | ||
| It could have been a huge fire. | ||
| It really could have been. | ||
| So he destroys it, but here's the thing. | ||
| He comes back several days later. | ||
| To the scene of the crime. | ||
| So John Kane, who owns it, Fixes the sign. | ||
| And here you can see, it says February 18th. | ||
| John Cain issued a correction saying it's August 18th. | ||
| Here he comes. | ||
| Once again. | ||
| 420 in the morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yup. | |
| Same time. | ||
| What the heck? | ||
| He's out there with a lighter. | ||
| That's suspicious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's pathological. | |
| Suspicious. | ||
| Suspicious. | ||
| He's just blazed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Then he runs off. | |
| Look at this. | ||
| That's like a kitchen lighter, so I don't know. | ||
| This guy's nuts. | ||
| That's 420. | ||
| And they offered a $1,000 reward. | ||
| You can see he had a tattoo of like a... I think it's a pig maybe on his arm, but uh... People on the chat were saying the Pedobear from 4chan, but I don't know if that's accurate. | ||
| No, it's not! | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's probably something to do with pigs, I would make... Yeah, there's like a pig on it or something. | |
| But they found him! | ||
| They found him because, uh... What's he doing? | ||
| He's like riding his bike at 4 in the morning. | ||
| That's a biker thing, though. | ||
| That's normal. | ||
| That's fine, I'm saying. | ||
| But like, then he stops to commit arson on two occasions. | ||
| That's so crazy, man. | ||
| This guy, you know, he's not gonna go to prison. | ||
| What's gonna happen is they're gonna offer him some kind of plea deal. | ||
| It's a first offense. | ||
| They're gonna say, you know, you'd never do this again. | ||
| He'll have to pay a fine. | ||
| I don't know, though. | ||
| Arson's pretty serious. | ||
| But he did it twice, you know? | ||
| And the fact that he moved the flag means that instantly he knew if this fire spread and it took this flag, the trees around it, everything, could go up. | ||
| So, John Cain, the guy who, uh, let me actually, I'll pull up his Twitter. | ||
| I don't wanna, uh, let's see here. | ||
| So here's John Cain, and here's a video he posted. | ||
| I'm not gonna play the full video, but he points out right here, you can see, that the sign right here, Let's see, uh... There's a flag. | ||
| Attached to the trees. | ||
| Now here's the important thing about wildfires. | ||
| They travel up trees and then across the top of them. | ||
| And that's the point he's bringing up. | ||
| That this sign is right next to the flag. | ||
| This guy tried moving out of the way knowing that if the fire spread up this, it could get into the trees. | ||
| And if it was a dry day, those trees go up, it spreads around, and it... It could burn the entire neighborhood. | ||
| How many houses could have gone down because of it? | ||
| So, uh... We got him, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Does Cain have any say in if this guy gets prosecuted, or is this all federal out of his hands at this point? | ||
| So, here's the other thing. | ||
| James Lawrence, a lawyer from Envisage Law, yeah, we got it right here, was retained to file civil suit against this guy who committed this, and now that we know who he is, and that he's, according to sources, confessed to the crime, Well, I mean, actually, perhaps considering that he's confessed, let me pull up Benny Johnson's tweet and see what Benny said about this. | ||
| Because, uh... Then we'll just show his name if he's confessed to it. | ||
| I'm trying to be careful here, you know? | ||
| Trying to be careful. | ||
| Yeah, it's hard, because you don't want to jump the gun and stick the internet on him. | ||
| On the other hand, it's pretty bad. | ||
| Just because someone posted a photo of a guy that is him from a different area doesn't mean it's the right name. | ||
| That's what I'm concerned about. | ||
| That's why I want the police to be involved. | ||
| First. | ||
| Reduce harm? | ||
| Is that one of journalistic tenets? | ||
| Minimize harm? | ||
| Minimize harm? | ||
| Man, that's something that needs to be taken seriously today. | ||
| With all these docs and crap, people saying each other's names, reposting videos of this and that. | ||
| Minimize harm. | ||
| But Benny is very confident. | ||
| Outright saying, it is this guy who did this thing. | ||
| I mean, that's bold. | ||
| As we have already shown with the post-millennial, typically in this space, people are very careful with direct statements of fact, especially on criminal activities. | ||
| But for Benny Johnson to outright say, this is it. | ||
| According to my sources, the man has admitted to the crime, and we are waiting to see if the DA will charge him. | ||
| I'm going to hold off on saying his name. | ||
| You can easily find it. | ||
| Benny Johnson's reported it. | ||
| Post Malone has reported it. | ||
| John Cain's tweeted it out. | ||
| But I'm going to hold back because if the DA brings charges, then we absolutely can say the guy's name. | ||
| For the time being, I think the important factor here is we're not backing down. | ||
| This is the legal way to take care of things. | ||
| It is the peaceful way to take care of things. | ||
| And you must understand. | ||
| The Democrat machine going against Trump, guys like this, they desperately want a violent reaction. | ||
| And so when I see these people on Axe, aka Twitter, that are either anti-Trump or just like super pro-Trump at Black Belt saying, there's no way to win, the deep state, the deep state, I'm just like, stop listening to those people. | ||
| The only... Look, this guy has been found out. | ||
| He's gonna get sued. | ||
| We'll see if he gets charged. | ||
| Andy Ngo just won $300,000 against people who attacked him. | ||
| These are victories. | ||
| You've got Bud Light's collapse. | ||
| You've got Target's collapse. | ||
| You've got Sound of Freedom. | ||
| We got other news we didn't even mention. | ||
| Rich Men North of Richmond debuts Billboard Hot 100 number one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is huge. | |
| The highest chart in the world for music, Rich Man North of Rich Man number one. | ||
| Yo, we are winning all across the board. | ||
| The things they are doing are acts of psychotic desperation. | ||
| We need to stick to the legal path, we need to make sure we are handling everything procedurally, and we're gonna win this. | ||
| I also think that people from this strata of, I don't know, of culture, will sell each other out. | ||
| So if one of them commits a crime and then the other one gets $10,000 to turn him in, he'll turn him in. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| What do you think would have happened if, obviously, if it hadn't turned into a wildfire, but if the Trump sign and the flag had burned, would the charge be a hate crime then? | ||
| Like, at what point was he trying to avoid things being worse by avoid- like, he didn't want the tree to catch fire, but also, like, did he want- is there an implication where he wanted to avoid burning the American flag? | ||
| Well, I don't think- I'm just curious, I don't have an answer. | ||
| Burning the American flag isn't a hate crime. | ||
| But attached to a political sign, it feels worse. | ||
| Politics is not a particular class. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I don't think this guy intentionally wanted anyone to die, but here's my assessment of this man. | ||
| I'm willing to bet this guy sits at home watching the news praying for the death of Trump supporters. | ||
| I don't think he intentionally, I don't think he wanted his arson to kill anybody. | ||
| However, taking into consideration the hatred he has and the willingness to commit arson, and his feelings are completely irrelevant, he committed a criminal act that could have resulted in the death of a lot of people. | ||
| And that's what matters. | ||
| It's so crazy how people can get so twisted from watching mainstream media news, from watching too much MSNBC, too much Rachel Maddow, too much anything probably, too much Tucker Carlson, maybe could drive people insane too. | ||
| The fear, the thought that a guy can ruin it all. | ||
| Hitler didn't do it alone. | ||
| Hitler did it because he had thousands of people working together. | ||
| I mean, to be honest, I can't speak for exactly, but it wasn't just like... | ||
| A guy can go ruin everything. | ||
| This whole fear of Donald Trump is the most... It just empowers the demon. | ||
| I wish that I could say this a little more articulately, but it really, really disappoints me and makes me nauseated to see how people become afraid of a single man. | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| And it neuters people's ability to create and to become powerful forces for themselves. | ||
| I've seen it happen to my friends in LA. | ||
| It's just so depressing. | ||
| Yeah, but how could you not, though, after, like, almost eight years of being told, if this person takes office, everything comes crumbling to the ground, you know what I mean? | ||
| Like, the language that the media has surrounding Donald Trump is meant to inspire fear, and of course, this kind of deranged behavior is a result of years of cultivating anger and fear. | ||
| For me, it was being alive during 9-11 and having the bullshit story fed to us and like, hey, we're going to go get Saddam Hussein now. | ||
| And we're like, what in the hell does that have to do with Osama bin Laden? | ||
| Watching the wool pulled over my eyes, I was on guard for when the media comes out and says, and now this is the bad guy. | ||
| We have a new bad guy. | ||
| It's going to be this guy. | ||
| And now this is a bad thing. | ||
| I've already been through the crap. | ||
| I'm done with it. | ||
| But a lot of people, I guess, just maybe they're, I don't want to say stupid. | ||
| I used to be one of these people. | ||
| What changed? | ||
| My parents didn't abandon me, but I used to be one of these people. | ||
| I used to tweet about, well, I didn't tweet. | ||
| I was on Facebook, you know, making posts about how much our, I would call him our game show host president. | ||
| And I, like, I was this person. | ||
| I was, but I was very unhappy with myself. | ||
| And when I would look to basically any sort of I watched a lot of John Oliver and thought that being snarky and kind of sarcastic meant you were smart, which, again, we've learned more since then. | ||
| But when you would look at any sort of institution, any sort of media organization, and they would tell you, oh, this is the root of all your problems, and you're already a pretty miserable person, it didn't take that long for that to stick. | ||
| I tend to think about this a lot because I am terrified that I was 100% caught up in that | ||
| psychological hive mind. But it was my parents that kind of brought me back from the brink. | ||
| My stepmom, she died earlier this year, but she used to just look at me and laugh when I would go | ||
| on some tirade and be like, well, Lauren, why do you think that? And I didn't know. And I would get | ||
| so mad at her. And she would just smile. It's so defensive and so angry. And she would just keep | ||
| just be like, well, why do you think that? And I could not tell her. And that was kind of what | ||
| helped bring me out of it. But it's when you again, they're just being told that that's the | ||
| root of all your problems everywhere you look. And you're so upset and angry and miserable that | ||
| that's easy to go along with. | ||
| When they were asking you, why do you think that, when your stepmom asked you that, like, did you, like, one night you were just laying in bed thinking, like, did it snap? | ||
| And you were like, why do I think this? | ||
| What happened? | ||
| Well, I can tell you actually. | ||
| Again, it was my parents continuing to show up, but there was actually one of my, I guess people call it the red pill moment. | ||
| It was Hurricane Maria that had kind of leveled Puerto Rico. | ||
| And I'm sorry, I'm not smiling about that. | ||
| I'm just thinking about my stepmom. | ||
| But it had like really devastated Puerto Rico. | ||
| And I had made a post on Facebook. | ||
| Our game show host president is tweeting about pro sports players while Puerto Rico lies in tatters. | ||
| He's been tweeting about like Colin Kaepernick. | ||
| And that post on Facebook got a ton of likes, and at the time, you know, my ego was directly tied to how well a post did on social media. | ||
| But then about a year later, it came out that they had found runways full of supplies, warehouses full of medicine and supplies and water and food and things that had just rotted, and how mismanaged that was. | ||
| And I, someone managed to get that in front of me, and I felt a real deep sense of shame And I directly remember that specific Facebook post. | ||
| And so I felt this shame that I did not want to feel again and having been rather wrong about something. | ||
| And so it's taken time. | ||
| I think it's certainly still an ongoing process, but I would rather take my time than get fooled again. | ||
| To specify, had the Trump administration sent all these resources down there and then they had mishandled it down there? | ||
| They if you go back and look at it, it really is. | ||
| It was a clown show. | ||
| You know, they were making T-shirts and wearing them on the news of, you know, disparaging Trump and his response. | ||
| He was they had sent a ton of money and ton of supplies. | ||
| I don't know if these supplies directly were from the Trump administration or from the United States. | ||
| I assume so. | ||
| But it was just a matter of how mismanaged it all was and how much time they had spent in front of the cameras. | ||
| Again, getting t-shirts printed in a place that didn't have power. | ||
| How did that happen? | ||
| When they could have distributed the stuff they had. | ||
| You're wasting your time doing this sort of stuff for TV and for clicks rather than managing the disaster response. | ||
| I'm going to try to be very careful in my phrasing here. | ||
| I find single disaster response to be a time when you can really see people's true colors. | ||
| You see the same thing with the wildfire in Lahana and Maui. | ||
| I'm sure I'm saying that wrong, but in Maui, because there's no one else to blame aside from FEMA response, local response. | ||
| And everyone's kind of pointing the finger at each other. | ||
| And, you know, the fact that they were tying the, was it the Disaster Relief Fund under FEMA? | ||
| They were tying the refilling of that fund and replenishing of it, which is set to expire at the end of August. | ||
| They were trying to tie that to, they set aside, I think, I might get the numbers wrong, but about $14 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund and then another $24 million to Ukraine. | ||
| They were trying to tie these two things together. | ||
| And you really see where people's priorities are. | ||
| And I think that that's just I don't like that that's how it is, but I think it's an important place to look, you know, in direct response to catastrophe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, there's a lot more happening. | ||
| I want to briefly mention this story, too. | ||
| Sorry for talking so much. | ||
| This is from Citizen Times. | ||
| Asheville police car is completely destroyed by suspected arson seeking public's help. | ||
| So someone had super chatted this before the show mentioning it, and I think it's important to bring up. | ||
| We're not out of the woods. | ||
| Crazy stuff's going on. | ||
| And I think it's important that people recognize this stuff in two ways. | ||
| One, yo, crazy stuff is happening with political tensions. | ||
| They're escalating. | ||
| But also, two cars being burned doesn't necessarily mean the apocalypse is nigh. | ||
| So all in all, I think that we're seeing really, really positive signs and the desperation from the machine is enjoyable. | ||
| I'm not going to look at this and let it get me down. | ||
| I hope they find whoever did it and bring them to justice. | ||
| This is insane. | ||
| But for all we know, it could be just like a guy who had a grudge specifically on this department. | ||
| It could be a guy who mugged a lady and got arrested and said, I'll show them. | ||
| Or it could be far left extremists who are like, we're coming after cops. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| But I want to jump to this next story, my friends. | ||
| This one. | ||
| This is fantastic news. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen from Variety, Rich Men North of Richmond debuts at number one as Oliver Anthony makes Billboard chart history. | ||
| Yo, this is RichmanNorthOfRichman debuting at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making the singer-songwriter the first artist ever to notch the achievement with no prior chart history in any form. | ||
| He is the sixth artist in Billboard chart history to debut a first solo Hot 100 entry at number one, following Zayn, Bauer, Carrie Underwood, Fantasia, and Clay Aiken. | ||
| And RichmanNorthOfRichman is the first solo written Hot 100 number one since 2020's heatwaves by Glass Animals, which topped the charts for five weeks in March and April of 2022. | ||
| It was widely shed in line, along with a video of the Beard Country folk singer, etc, etc. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| What did it say? | ||
| 17.5 million streams and 147,000 downloads in the tracking week ending August 17th per Luminate. | ||
| A YouTube video of the song has 30 million views to date. | ||
| Which means he will likely be number one next week as well. | ||
| Here's what I gotta say to y'all. | ||
| Go to iTunes, buy the song, give him the dollar. | ||
| One purchase for a dollar counts as 150 streams. | ||
| If he gets, I think he needs 150 million streams, and it looks like he's already got 30 plus 147,000 downloads, so multiply that by 150. | ||
| If he gets one million downloads, he will be platinum. | ||
| Let's do what we can. | ||
| I think rich men north of Richmond should be platinum. | ||
| I'll tell you why. | ||
| I'm not a country guy. | ||
| Never been a big country guy. | ||
| But anything that advances independent culture, challenging the corporate machine, pushing back on Hollywood and these sick record labels and the entertainment industry, Needs to succeed. | ||
| And that's why, I mean, just seeing the success of this song, the failures of Bud Light, failures of Target, the success of Sound of Freedom. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is changing the culture and winning the culture war. | ||
| And they know it. | ||
| That's why they're getting so desperate and angry. | ||
| As they drown, they will start violently thrashing about. | ||
| And you know what they say, when you're trying to rescue someone who's drowning, not that we should figuratively rescue companies that are failing, but if you try to rescue them, they'll drag you down with them. | ||
| You gotta be careful about the massive multinational corporations and the entertainment industry and their creepy predilections and the weird things they promote. | ||
| As they lose power, they will become angry and violent and splash fervently in desperation. | ||
| This means you're going to see more laws being lobbied to ban the things that we're doing. | ||
| They're going to say, here's what they're going to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're going to say, well, we can't allow these songs to succeed because it's anti-union. | |
| Because it goes, where's the music union? | ||
| You know, where's BMI or ASCAP or whatever? | ||
| And they're going to claim that this is a threat because, you know, it's going to allow exploitation, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| They're losing. | ||
| I'm having a good day. | ||
| Yeah, I think it's cool. | ||
| I like when things just organically happen. | ||
| I'm sort of, I'm not a particularly like musical person anyways, but so often I feel like the songs that are popular right now are just developed in the machine for the machine to benefit the machine and it's cool to see someone else do something and it have such a big response. | ||
| I have a confession to make. | ||
| So I've read the lyrics, but I've actually not listened to the song yet. | ||
| But I tend to be a little bit apprehensive about stuff like that, for exactly what you said, where I think it's probably some sort of, you know, setup or kind of trying to create the feeling of virality. | ||
| And the fact that that's even a thing is honestly so weird, you know, that they'll try to come across as being organic, which I'm not saying that that is. | ||
| So I've honestly been a little bit apprehensive of it. | ||
| Well, I contrast this with Miley Cyrus's Flowers, which it was like a catchy, fun song, I guess, but it had no kind of substance to it. | ||
| Oh, sure. | ||
| And also they prepped its release by basically hinting and dropping notes in the tabloids like, she's got scandalous stuff in her personal life, you should listen to this song. | ||
| And so it was big for a little while because the industry kind of I don't know, I had this gross reaction to, like, she's had a troubled marriage and therefore hears this not-so-good pop song. | ||
| So here's some content. | ||
| Consume it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I'd rather have something like this that is about values, that's about something deep. | ||
| Whoa, I mean, we can criticize rap instead. | ||
| We can criticize all kinds of things. | ||
| Criticize anything you want to. | ||
| Just because I don't like it doesn't mean that, you know, everyone can't listen to it anyways. | ||
| I happen to like this type of music. | ||
| I also happen to think this was kind of refreshing. | ||
| I think people are sort of starved for a little bit more in their lyrics. | ||
| I think that a lot of country music roots were absolutely kind of centered in that sort of theming too, you know, or however you say the word. | ||
| I will add this. | ||
| I've explained this in the previous segments we talked about with Billboard, but we put out some music and the challenges we face, the music we make and independent artists are making, people who are outside the machine, is that a major label band releases a new album. | ||
| That label will go to Pandora, Spotify, blah blah whatever. | ||
| They'll say, even new bands, they'll say like, hey we've got a new band coming out, we want their songs on this playlist. | ||
| And what'll happen is the digital streaming playlist will be like, sounds good to us. | ||
| Then, some people are hanging out on a Friday night at their buddy's house, they order pizza, and someone's like, I'm gonna put on Pandora, and they choose rock and roll, or rock, or hard rock, or indie rock, and then this new song starts playing. | ||
| They didn't look for it, it's just on the streaming playlist. | ||
| That band will get a lot of play and a lot of promotion, and if the song is good, then people will share it, put it, they'll save it, they'll give it a thumbs up, it'll be played more, and then they crack the billboard lists. | ||
| For Oliver Anthony, he had absolutely none of that. | ||
| It was pure, organic support for his music and enjoyment of his music that resulted in him hitting this chart. | ||
| So if, uh, there's one band that I actually really like one of the songs they put out and it was the weirdest thing to see someone with less than a thousand subscribers, no music presence whatsoever, get signed to a label, put out a song that I liked but no one's ever heard of, the song failed, charted nowhere, but it was placed on all of these major radio stations and playlists and I'm like, that's the machine. | ||
| Yeah, someone's behind the screens. | ||
| Oliver Anthony not only hit number one, but he did it in spite of the fact the industry desperately tries to keep people like him out. | ||
| That's what John Rich was saying. | ||
| If he was signed to a label, they'd never let this song on the air. | ||
| No way. | ||
| No way. | ||
| That's how so many things people don't realize that a one-hit wonder is because their music they kept putting out got put on the shelf and didn't go anywhere. | ||
| That happens the same way. | ||
| This is just modern payola and that's already illegal. | ||
| We haven't caught up to streaming services yet. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| Yeah, so payola is basically pay-to-play. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's illegal. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| It is illegal. | ||
| You said when you had radios, you get a thing that's so-called a mechanical, meaning the rotation of a record. | ||
| But yeah, it's illegal and everything else except for streaming services. | ||
| But we'll get there, hopefully. | ||
| So there are people who want to go and go to a radio station and say, we'll give you X amount of dollars if you just put our song on. | ||
| That's illegal. | ||
| Oh, but now because they can buy the song and it counts for 150 streams, is that the problem? | ||
| Uh, yes, but it's not illegal on streaming services. | ||
| Oh, right, right, right, right, right. | ||
| So that's why it's still illegal to have like, you have what it's called, basically a playlister, who's a person that works for Spotify in this case. | ||
| And then they choose if your song makes these playlists. | ||
| I'm sure if you use Spotify, you know what the playlist, if your song makes these playlists, they're like old radio DJs. | ||
| They were the people who select the track to play the songs. | ||
| It's the same thing as payola. | ||
| It's just a modern day payola that hasn't Basically, it's like this. | ||
| You know that some celebrities are so big, their songs are going to get played no matter what. | ||
| So let's say you're a major label, and you've got a new band coming out, and you want to make money. | ||
| Like, hey, look, we spent $100,000 on this album. | ||
| We need to make that money back. | ||
| You can go to these platforms and just be like, hey, we are submitting this through the normal legal channels. | ||
| Please add this to your digital streaming playlist in this genre. | ||
| These companies know. | ||
| If they say no, then what happens is Major Label says, well, then I guess there's no real reason for us to keep, insert Major Label artist, playing on your platform. | ||
| And then they lose money if that... You've got Apple Music, you've got Tidal, you've got Spotify, you've got Pandora, you've got YouTube Music. | ||
| Imagine if any one of them lost a major star. | ||
| That would be like a form of blackmail if the label said to Spotify, we're going to say it. | ||
| Yeah, it's still unspoken. | ||
| Didn't Taylor Swift pull her music from some platform once? | ||
| She was on Spotify for a long time. | ||
| And I wonder what that was really about. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| She wrote a big letter about it. | ||
| Yeah, she did like re-release her music, wasn't that the case? | ||
| Well, the Spotify thing, she said she didn't like the terms and that she felt like they weren't paying artists enough, and I haven't read it in a long time. | ||
| They don't. | ||
| So she pulled her music. | ||
| I'm sure she had her own specific reason why she was like, I'm personally not making enough money, but she represented it as like, I'm actually fighting for everybody. | ||
| Uh, and then the masters thing is something else, but... It is, it is crazy how little you make. | ||
| Like, it's the craziest thing. | ||
| It's, it's, people don't realize, you make almost nothing. | ||
| Even on really big songs that get money and you were part of, you were on, like, the people, like, you see a lot of who wrote the song, whatever, you get included on that, and you make nothing. | ||
| I made nothing when I was working for them. | ||
| I mean, not enough to survive and make a life, so... | ||
| Yeah, we put out a handful of songs, and we, with the few songs we put out, we experimented with different ways to promote and different ways to, like, how we tell people what to do. | ||
| So with, like, one song, we said, hey, everyone, just go and buy the song. | ||
| And then we charted really well. | ||
| Then with another song, we're like, hey, everyone, go listen to the song. | ||
| Listens. | ||
| Don't do anything. | ||
| You make zero dollars, you get nothing, and then you are just... It doesn't even matter. | ||
| You can get two million views, plus sales, and then three million views, and the sales... You chart, you make money, streams don't do anything for anybody. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| And charting is sort of make or break, I would assume, for music. | ||
| Like, that's how you get- Like, what is- If you wanted to support a local artist, is it better to buy their song on iTunes, or is it better to listen to them a hundred times on- Well, here- I'll simplify it for you. | ||
| Are you- Is Oliver Anthony better off with you handing him one dollar, or you taking- you know, giving him nothing? | ||
| I mean, I would assume it's better to hand him a dollar, but I guess what I'm coming up to is, is it imperative that artists then go on tour? | ||
| Like, if you want to make it as a musician, what do you need to do? | ||
| Like, for Oliver Anthony, if he peaks at Billboard, you know, number one, that's awesome. | ||
| But then if he wants to continue, but like, he can't survive at number one. | ||
| Like, is that going to make him a living? | ||
| He's going to have to tour. | ||
| Like, what are the next steps? | ||
| That's that's like the thing if you if you make money like the idea and the argument for streaming is that you don't make money on the stream streaming is essentially you're Advertising you're like you're merchant. | ||
| They're not really you make money from merchandising selling stuff Vinyls or clothing or whatever and you make money from touring which is going on tour to go in different states And then make money on the tickets coming in you don't really make money on the actual music So if he wants to be he's a millionaire overnight. | ||
| Yeah, not not because of any of these stupid deals. | ||
| He shouldn't take them but because I imagine all of these festivals are going to be like, we got to get this guy. | ||
| He's got the biggest song in the world. | ||
| And right now he can charge whatever he wants because people want to see him perform and he deserves it. | ||
| This is natural talent breaking through the machine. | ||
| I want you to imagine this. | ||
| There is a bunch of angry suits waving woke signs and this guy runs full speed with a sledgehammer, spins around and throws it into a giant TV they're all watching. | ||
| That's a nice visual. | ||
| People keep saying to play it. | ||
| In the comments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, yeah. | |
| People should go to the actual thing and listen to it. | ||
| version of Sound of Freedom. We are breaking through the industry. People keep saying to play it in the comments. | ||
| Well, but we can't. I'm not gonna. People should listen to his song. No, yeah, people should go to the actual thing. | ||
| You should go to iTunes right now and buy the song. Yeah. | ||
| Give the man a dollar. | ||
| Yeah, if you like it and you support the music, go and buy it. | ||
| If you've already heard it and you liked it and you didn't go and buy it, like, what are you doing? | ||
| What do you guys think about now? | ||
| Because the age of the recording artists making a bunch of money is kind of waning. | ||
| You know, it used to be in the 1900s, it was like the only time in history that you'd be able to like... | ||
| Spend two hours recording a song and then you could sell it for a hundred million dollars over the next 80 years. | ||
| And now you don't control distribution really anymore. | ||
| It was a blip. | ||
| So like, is it smart to make your own music and just let people download it from your website? | ||
| From you for 99 cents. | ||
| All the money goes right to you. | ||
| Screw iTunes. | ||
| Screw Amazon. | ||
| That's what I would do. | ||
| That's what I would do. | ||
| But then you wouldn't chart? | ||
| Yeah, no charts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck all that. | |
| That's your advertising. | ||
| All the prestige crap. | ||
| Just sell it directly to your people. | ||
| Yes, but. | ||
| That's what doing punk rock and dance is like. | ||
| I would say yes, but. | ||
| Obviously we want that, but for the time being, we want to take over the industry. | ||
| I want when young people are looking up to a musician because they want to be number one, | ||
| they don't see WAP. They see Rich Men North of Richmond. | ||
| This is culture changing. This is going to be inspirational for the younger generations. | ||
| This also... | ||
| You've got young people who are skewing conservative, these young men. | ||
| Sure, fine. | ||
| They're gonna go that direction no matter what. | ||
| Now all those grifters you don't like, this is how you force the grifters to get away from the weird garbage. | ||
| Grifters are not good people. | ||
| There are many of these people on the left, they accuse everyone on the right of being a grifter. | ||
| The right has its grifters. | ||
| They say whatever they have to say because it'll get them clicks, even when they're contradicting themselves. | ||
| One example is like, if I agree with someone on the left and say, hey, this person's right, they'll insult me anyway because the tribal position for cliques is, you must hate Tim Pool. | ||
| Those people will see this and think, am I on the wrong side of history? | ||
| Oh, I better agree with whatever they say so I can be on the right side of history. | ||
| That's why the left chants that or they scream that you're on the wrong side of history. | ||
| They want you to believe that a time will come where you will be ostracized. | ||
| But the reality is they will be ostracized. | ||
| They're being ostracized and they're losing their minds over it. | ||
| It's a good point, man. | ||
| There's something about following a crowd. | ||
| Crowd's not always right, but when a large number of people enjoy something, you might want to ask yourself, is there something to that? | ||
| For better or worse, you know, but I think that does wake a lot of people up. | ||
| Oh, someone, Jason Dixon said, there are a bunch of fake copies on iTunes. | ||
| So yes, make sure you go to iTunes and you find the actual song from Oliver Anthony. | ||
| And I'm going to say this, if he sells one million, Come on, a million people have heard this song already. | ||
| How do we get them to just buy it for a buck? | ||
| Because not only does that make our good friend Oliver Anthony over here a millionaire, not really, he'll probably end up getting, I think, like $690,000, then taxes come in, he might make half a million off it, but... We'll make him half a millionaire. | ||
| It will make the song platinum. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good start. | |
| Debut, solo, single writer, platinum song. | ||
| Get that little platinum single, you can hang up in his room, and then we can all talk about how we have decided to do these boycotts. | ||
| Buying the products of who we like, boycotting the products of who we don't like, supporting those who are challenging the industry, and then also I just want to point out, like, think about the lyrics of this song. | ||
| So actually, let me see if I have this one pulled up. | ||
| Where is it at? | ||
| The Rainn Wilson story. | ||
| Do we have that pulled up? | ||
| Oh, here we go. | ||
| We got it right here. | ||
| Let's talk about this. | ||
| From the post-millennial, multi-millionaire celebrity Rainn Wilson slammed for smearing Oliver Anthony over populist anthem. | ||
| I don't know that he really smeared him, but boy do I love this. | ||
| Rainn Wilson, you guys know him, he was in the office, right? | ||
| Yeah, he played Dwight Schrute. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| He said, if I were writing a song about rich men north of Richmond, I wouldn't talk about obese people on welfare, I'd sing about CEOs who make 400 times their average worker's salary, up from 50 times 30 years ago, and corporations that pay zero taxes in offshore tax shelters for billionaires. | ||
| Let me just pause right there. | ||
| And no one would listen to it, so... Rainn Wilson, you're an ultra-rich Hollywood celebrity type. | ||
| I don't think this song was written for you. | ||
| I think this song was written for the working class guy who's expressing this discontent with a broken system. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| If he wrote the song as you described it, I don't think it'd be number one. | ||
| I don't think he'd have the biggest song in the world right now. | ||
| I don't think he'd have debuted as one of the only people ever to debut on their first ever single charting at number one. | ||
| Clearly, you are wrong. | ||
| I think that Chris Anthony, I'm gonna call him Oliver Anthony, that's his stage name. | ||
| Chris Lunford is his actual name. | ||
| But he mentions the Bureaucrats in that song at some point. | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| The song's about him! | ||
| He also talks about people that are getting obese on on welfare, which is a phenomenal point because people you can buy Pepsi with food stamps you can buy candy and chocolate crappy crappy shit like that's so bad for people So so let me just point this out When Oliver Anthony says, you know, if you're 5 foot 3 and 300 pounds taxes should be buying your fudge rounds Rainn Wilson doesn't get this. | ||
| He is the fat Effeminate man with liberal sensibilities who's advocating for lazy individuals to leech off a system for which the working class work and pay for. | ||
| And it is the overwhelming majority of them who do it. | ||
| And when he says, yes, but if the billionaires paid their taxes, yes, well, if the billionaires paid their taxes, it would barely account for any of the tax base. | ||
| This is the lie that crackpots like Rainn Wilson and these other far-left extremists push to convince you to allow them to gut the system and steal from you. | ||
| It's the billionaires who are at fault. | ||
| Let's do the math. | ||
| If you were to tax... I love this meme. | ||
| If you taxed every billionaire at 100% and took all of their money, it would account for a very small percentage of the actual tax expenditures, and it would last you only a few months. | ||
| What really funds the system is that if you've got 300 million people, and you take a dollar from them every day, you get 300 million dollars per day. | ||
| So you're talking about a couple billion dollars per week, two points some odd. | ||
| You're talking about billions per month. | ||
| It doesn't matter how much in cash the billionaires actually have. | ||
| Most of their billionaire assets are in hard assets. | ||
| They can't actually liquefy, not easily. | ||
| Yeah, no, Oliver Anthony is correct. | ||
| He's sitting there saying his paycheck is almost nothing, the dollar's worthless, and there's some 5'3", 300-pound person eating fudge rounds off of his hard work and labor, and then Rainn Wilson's like, well, why aren't you complaining about billionaires? | ||
| Bro, Rainn, you are exactly what you describe. | ||
| It's the rich who are the problem. | ||
| Yes, you. | ||
| Ultra-wealthy, fat liberals voting to gut the salaries and the payments of the working class to then promise to ignorant, lazy people that if they keep voting for you, you'll give them free stuff. | ||
| It's wild to see people like Hasan Piker talking about what he would talk about. | ||
| Yeah, see him say the stuff he says and he's in a mansion in LA. | ||
| It's like, dude, come on. | ||
| I think that Oliver Anthony makes a phenomenal point talking about these people that are sick on welfare. | ||
| Not in maybe he's annoyed that he's paying for it, but also if we're going to fix society, it's going to be from the ground up. | ||
| And if people at the ground are sick, then they're not going to be able to fix society. | ||
| So it's a big problem. | ||
| Eat healthy, get your mind right, get your family right, then get your society right. | ||
| It's a system that perpetuates itself, though. | ||
| Imagine being on welfare again, eating food that makes you sick. | ||
| You then become dependent on the healthcare system. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It ripples out. | ||
| I don't know how literal that is so much as it seems to me like a metaphor. | ||
| Again, I haven't listened to the song, though. | ||
| Oh, you haven't heard it yet? | ||
| No. | ||
| I mean, it's fine. | ||
| It's short. | ||
| It's like two and a half minutes long or three minutes long. | ||
| I still think it's weird that he's like... If I were gonna write a song, I would write it completely different. | ||
| Then write the damn song! | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| If I was gonna be in a comedy, it would be way better than... I would've looked in a different direction than you looked, Rainn, in that one scene when you were talking to Jim. | ||
| I would've looked to the left. | ||
| And yeah, your posture was good, but it wasn't that good. | ||
| I would've had a little bit better posture. | ||
| I'm just kidding, man. | ||
| Get out here. | ||
| Help me make this movie, bro. | ||
| And get working out with Tim, because I love you, Rainn. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| You're a spirit, man. | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| I think a lot of people have affection for Rainn Wilson because... | ||
| He was sort of unusual. | ||
| His character on The Office is such a big deal and so interesting. | ||
| And then he himself has kind of an unusual life. | ||
| But this like, well, if I had written a song, I would have attacked someone else and therefore he was bad. | ||
| Like, obviously, this song is popular and hitting a chord. | ||
| And if you want to write a different song, great, do it. | ||
| But don't tear down that the points that he's making out are resonating with people. | ||
| In fact, humble yourself and take away that people are really feeling a connection to this. | ||
| Maybe you are not aware of something that you should open your eyes to. | ||
| You know what, he's playing at Blue Ridge Rock Festival. | ||
| Oh, I think we went there last year. | ||
| That's a great festival. | ||
| That was one of the best I've ever been to. | ||
| Yo, those stages are awesome. | ||
| Slipknot, or not Slipknot, sorry, GWAR. | ||
| GWAR played. | ||
| Jack Black and Kyle Gass, Tenacious D, of course, Adelita Sway, they had us, got us backstage. | ||
| They tweeted out special guest Oliver Anthony. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Man! | |
| Oh, it's gonna be lit, we should go. | ||
| When is that? | ||
| He's gonna have like, When he plays, that's going to have the biggest crowd. | ||
| I hope they headline that, because that'll be really good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Does he have a full band now? | ||
| I guess he's got to whip the band together. | ||
| I thought he put out a statement that was like, I am very excited about this. | ||
| Thank you for your support. | ||
| Also, I don't feel like I'm quite a good enough musician to take on all these things. | ||
| There's an element that he is trying to deliver at a maximum level to people who are supporting him, which I respect. | ||
| Same thing with merchandise, too. | ||
| He put out a tweet that essentially said, I want to do things right. | ||
| I don't want to just go to a chop shop. | ||
| Be patient. | ||
| And he's working with like a small family owned or like a local company. | ||
| Yeah, the music will stay on the test of time so there's no rush. | ||
| Yeah, it's cool. | ||
| Although the iron is hot right now so it's good to hit it. | ||
| You don't need to be the best musician ever. | ||
| This is the biggest mistake I hear from young musicians that I've experienced in my life and it actually translates to almost every industry. | ||
| So when I was younger, I played a show. | ||
| I played a bunch of shows. | ||
| I played a lot of shows actually. | ||
| And, uh, I'm, I was like middle, middle of the room, middle lineup, whatever it's called. | ||
| I wasn't the headliner. | ||
| I wasn't the opening act. | ||
| And I had the room packed. | ||
| It was like 150 seats or whatever. | ||
| Ended up making a couple hundred bucks. | ||
| I was super excited. | ||
| I was like, wow, most of the songs that I wrote were just like four chords, relatively basic. | ||
| And then I would sing. | ||
| The headlining performance was one of the most musically beautiful songs I've ever heard. | ||
| And people left the room. | ||
| Yeah, and the reason is, it's what we call music for musicians. | ||
| Oliver Anthony wrote music for people, and people want to hear that music. | ||
| And then you get these musical theorists who are like, here's how you write a good song, because they're trying to impress musicians. | ||
| That's cool, no, by all means, like, make the best music ever made. | ||
| Arpeggio to guitar, like really cool stuff, and really great lyrics that are really impactful. | ||
| Or write a song for the masses that the regular people resonate with that speaks to them and you are exactly what a good musician is. | ||
| I'll put it this way. | ||
| The best ice cream in the world. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Does it mean like you should consume it because it's good for you or does it mean it tastes great? | ||
| Because this is what I would always tell my friends. | ||
| I knew a guy who played in a band and it was like weird experimental stuff. | ||
| And he kept talking about how big it was going to be and I was like, you know, do your thing, man. | ||
| But I'm just going to tell you, you're making like, you're making like, you know, asparagus ice cream. | ||
| Some people may really, really like asparagus ice cream. | ||
| It's experimental, man. | ||
| We've never seen this before. | ||
| Most people just want chocolate. | ||
| You know? | ||
| So, figure out what that mass appeal is if you're trying to be a famous musician. | ||
| If you're just trying to be a musician because you like music and you like the art, more power to you. | ||
| But don't act like you're gonna be the biggest. | ||
| This is what I would say to Oliver Anthony, man. | ||
| You are the best musician because you wrote a song that people want to hear. | ||
| It's all that matters. | ||
| It's also the way he sings it. | ||
| You mentioned resonation. | ||
| Like if it resonates, and that's a literal vibrational resonance that your voice produces in other human beings. | ||
| Like you vibrate their bones when they say, that song resonated with me. | ||
| It's because it actually literally produced resonation. | ||
| So the voice, I mean, it's so lost in the modern age, unfortunately, and I want it to be recovered. | ||
| This text communication crap. | ||
| I mean, it's, you want to talk about where, why is there a degradation in society in any way? | ||
| I think it stems from the people are texting each other. | ||
| What, 30 years ago we would only speak to each other about, so you could resonate. | ||
| There was a phone, and the phone loses a little bit, but I agree with you. | ||
| I think the internet has destroyed community. | ||
| Particular text chat. | ||
| Yes, right, with Twitter and short text too, because people in, I love this, TMZ, I think it was TMZ, no, somebody wrote an article where they were like, Kid Rock is slammed, might have been Newsweek. | ||
| Uh, over drinking Bud Light, and like with some even claiming it was treason, and then they showed my tweet of all-caps treason, which was clearly sarcasm. | ||
| No, Tim, you're always serious. | ||
| They don't care that it's sarcasm. | ||
| No. | ||
| They're just like, wow, we can sell this fake outrage. | ||
| Anybody who did a modicum, a small amount of research into my tweets and history knows that I did not literally think, like, there's... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't care. | |
| Kid Rock drank this thing. | ||
| But they get clicks. | ||
| If Rainn Wilson had been able to say the words of what he typed, if there's a way that I would understand what he was saying and be like, no, I get it. | ||
| I get what you're saying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it would even be inspirational for Oliver Anthony to hear him say those words out loud when in text, it just looked like whiny bitch text. | ||
| I think text can be sort of disruptive to the way flow or intonation would deliver a message. | ||
| I will say in defense of writing, there are times in our history where we've relied on letters and written communication. | ||
| Because you knew that you wouldn't get the speed that we now have, you put a lot more thought into it, right? | ||
| Like think of like some of the best love letters written of all time or poetry or things that we did in the past. | ||
| I mean, even like the Federalist Papers, right? | ||
| People spent time thinking about what they were writing in a way that we don't do now because everything is so fast. | ||
| Not that Twitter can't be incredibly effective for delivering messages, but it's just a different approach to something that we have become accustomed to. | ||
| I was chatting with my girlfriend, and there was a day that we were having just kind of a subtle argument or whatever, and we were texting. | ||
| And I normally will not text anything. | ||
| If there's a problem emotionally, it's verbal, or we just, I'll peacefully, you know, I'll wait until I see you and talk to you about it. | ||
| But anyway, we typed, and then days went by, things were resolved, and I went back in that chat, and for whatever reason, I saw the old messages, and it started to work me up again. | ||
| Out of context, it was the past, it has no place in my memory anymore, we already resolved it, but it's still there in text. | ||
| And I'm reading it and thinking, oh, did she mean that when she typed it? | ||
| Well, and these other emotions, I'm like, what am I doing? | ||
| Because you've resolved the argument and you have to let it go. | ||
| Yeah, it should have been like a memory of a communication. | ||
| It should be gone in my memory now, but because it's literally in text, I still have a copy of it. | ||
| That's unnecessary and probably very, very bad for brain. | ||
| I've heard other couples say that when they have a problem, they like to, I knew this one couple that would email each other and be like, when I talk to you face to face, I'm kind of dominated by my emotion. | ||
| So when I can sit down and write you a thoughtful and respectful email about whatever's bothering me, I actually find it easier to resolve. | ||
| I think that, uh, There's a place for both, but I think we are going for speed and therefore stripping away kind of specific and descriptive language, which helps us understand what the message is behind our written word. | ||
| such an integral part of the development of society although I guess the written word for the most part now is very stunted and shortened but I think that probably the closest thing we have to any sort of really beautiful long-form thing written aside from obviously it's really like speeches that are written like oratory things which people used to put a lot of time into those too. | ||
| But are ultimately meant to be spoken. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When was writing invented? | ||
| 6000 BC or something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| It's relatively new. | ||
| Writing? | ||
| I think the timeline kind of continues to expand. | ||
| You know, they find some... Because a lot of the materials they used for writing were, you know... They disappear, yeah. | ||
| And this says four different periods over 3,400 B.C. | ||
| Mesopotamia happened again in Egypt in 3,200, China in 1,200, so only 3,400 B.C. | ||
| But then how far back does it go that we don't have evidence of it? | ||
| But also, what's their definition of writing? | ||
| Could it be, like, that someone drew a circle on the ground once to reference something? | ||
| And that is writing. | ||
| I think it's a language, when there's language involved. | ||
| Like, this is cuneiform. | ||
| And that's when they say, okay, now you can... Like, if you were explaining to someone a thing you saw, and then you made a symbol that represented, like, a tree to explain tree, you've begun the process of writing. | ||
| But would a random person who comes across it and sees it be able to translate it? | ||
| That's the question. | ||
| Let's jump to more news, my friends. | ||
| Now we'll get into the big breaking story from today. | ||
| Fulton County sets Trump's bond at $200,000. | ||
| The former president's legal team has reportedly accepted the bond. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Former president has received a bond amount of $80,000 for allegedly violating their RICO Act. | ||
| $60,000 for 6th count of criminal conspiracy, 30 blah blah blah, it's $200k, you get the point. | ||
| Trump may post bond as cash, though commercial surety, uh, through commercial surety, or through Fulton County Jail's 10% program per the Monday bail posting. | ||
| The defendant shall not violate the laws of this state, the laws of any other state, the laws of the United States of America, or any other local laws per consent bond order. | ||
| They want to lock him up. | ||
| That's, that's, that's where they're going towards. | ||
| And everybody, everybody keeps telling me like, oh it can't happen, oh it can't happen, and then it happens. | ||
| They arrested his lawyers. | ||
| But here's the bigger picture. | ||
| Trump's gonna win. | ||
| Trump can win. | ||
| I don't want to make a hard prediction. | ||
| But you've got a whole bunch of outlets now panicking over this. | ||
| I love this. | ||
| Colin Ruggs says, CNN warns viewers that Donald Trump has a real chance of winning the general election against Joe Biden. | ||
| Can you hear the panic? | ||
| Let me play this clip from CNN for you guys. | ||
| University, 53% of the Fox News poll. Look at where DeSantis is in all these polls. | ||
| Look how far back he is. He doesn't crack 20% in any of them. So in Iowa you have | ||
| that 20 plus point lead for Donald Trump. That's actually smaller than the lead we | ||
| see nationally where we see these leads of 35, 40, near 50 points in this | ||
| particular case. Of course the primary is one thing. | ||
| If Trump wins the primary, can he go on and win the general election? | ||
| And we've had three polls that have come out over the last week here. | ||
| And I want you to take a look at how close this race is at this particular point. | ||
| Granted, the general election is over a year away. | ||
| The largest lead for Joe Biden is just three points within the margin of error. | ||
| No clear leader. | ||
| Look at these. | ||
| One point. | ||
| One point. | ||
| If you go back at where we were at this point four years ago, Joe Biden's lead was high single digits to low double digits. | ||
| This is significantly closer than where we were four years ago. | ||
| So this idea that Donald Trump can't win the general election, I want you to lose that idea. | ||
| This race is very, very close. | ||
| And Donald Trump is polling better right now than basically at any point during the entire 2020. | ||
| And I got one more big piece of news for all of you. | ||
| Remember that news story that came out that said 12th grade males are skewing conservative? | ||
| What age is 12th grade? | ||
| 18! | ||
| And what is the voting age in this country? | ||
| It happens to be 18. | ||
| Hey, so how many of these, I'll put it this way. | ||
| Young Trump supporters, they will, not all of them, but Trump supporters famously say they'll walk barefoot over broken glass to vote for Trump. | ||
| Young Democrats won't do that. | ||
| They'll tweet, they'll get likes, and then when it comes to actual voting, they'll be like, I don't actually care, I just wanted likes on social media. | ||
| I think what you'll see here is Trump's gonna get a decent enough boost that is being missed in the polls among young conservative men between the ages of 18 and 21. | ||
| These polls from CNN are missing these individuals right now. | ||
| They're not polling them. | ||
| Let's take into consideration the polling errors in the past, skewing towards Democrat. | ||
| That means Trump's probably up three or four points. | ||
| Then add in the young vote that they're probably discounting, which is probably gonna vote for Trump. | ||
| I think Trump's on track to win as of right now. | ||
| We will see. | ||
| There's a lot that can change. | ||
| We are an eternity away in political time, but I definitely see a clear path for Trump to win this one. | ||
| And this narrative that keeps coming out from the Never Trumpers, who won't stop whinging, and it's so annoying, that Trump can't win, just, I gotta tell you, man, You know, with all due respect to Bill Mitchell for coming on the Culture War and debating, I had to unfollow him right away. | ||
| I didn't follow him before, but I was like, you know, he came here, he made his case, I agree with some of the points he made about DeSantis, I'm gonna follow him. | ||
| And then after, like, a couple hours, I was like, I have to unfollow him. | ||
| Because it's the most vile and ignorant nonsense I've ever seen. | ||
| You can make a really good point about DeSantis being younger and having tact and succeeding, while admitting his campaign is not doing well, and still make your argument why I think he'd probably be better in the general, Bill does not do that. | ||
| So I'm just like, I can't... The anti-Trump on the left are actually less vocal, as it seems right now, than the anti-Trump in the Republican Party. | ||
| You know, I think a lot of the anti, I mean, um, there's still plenty in the, like the establishment and the media. | ||
| I think a lot of it has dissipated quite a bit. | ||
| I've really, I observe a lot of rhetoric from, you know, leftist circles and a lot of them are kind of saying, you know, I'm, I'm just not going to vote for Biden again. | ||
| You know, I held my nose and did it and I'm just not going to do it. | ||
| I think it might not necessarily be a huge shift of the youth towards like in favor of Trump, but I think it's going to be a pull away from trying to support. | ||
| It reminds me of that. | ||
| They can't stand. | ||
| I can only remember this reference vaguely, but that Simpsons episode where Abe Simpson was trying to date that old lady, and then she was potentially going to date some other guy. | ||
| And then in the end, he was like, pick me, who do you want? | ||
| She's like, I don't want either of you. | ||
| And he goes, good enough for me! | ||
| And so I feel like there's a lot of Biden voters who are going to be like, like you said, I held my nose, I voted for Biden, but this time I don't want any of them. | ||
| And the Trump base is going to be like, that works for us! | ||
| Yes, don't vote Democrat! | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| I think that that will end up being a larger impact than they imagine. | ||
| Although, not to go on to a totally different subject, but they do seem to be ramping up COVID just in time. | ||
| I honestly, I had never observed this for myself before. | ||
| Again, I was a little detached and ignorant for most of my life. | ||
| And so I've always kind of heard that, you know, it's election season, something's ramping up. | ||
| And it's turned out to be true. | ||
| Yeah, I think until you start following politics regularly, you think, oh, they just say that. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| But it is a consistent pattern that something happens. | ||
| And I'm not surprised that COVID is rearing its ugly head, strangely enough, right now. | ||
| Here come the lockdowns. | ||
| Here comes the mail-in voting. | ||
| Here's all the stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| We'll see if the lockdown stuff actually comes into full swing. | ||
| There's a couple hospitals in upstate New York that have brought back the mask mandates. | ||
| Portland apparently never got rid of all of their mask policies. | ||
| Nobody just nobody cares, which is actually a good sign. | ||
| I wonder how many places there are like that, where all of it's still technically there and people are just ignoring it. | ||
| But in some ways, do you think that would be a problem? | ||
| Because when they decide it's bad, they'll say, oh no, we have to enforce this. | ||
| We never took it down and so actually you're in violation, here's a fine, here's whatever. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I feel like you do need to see it through. | ||
| We should repeal all the mass stuff. | ||
| It's good that we're ignoring it, but we should completely undo it. | ||
| We need to find out where it is and advocate to, you know, get it down. | ||
| I guess I couldn't come up with a word for it. | ||
| Let me show you this tweet while we have a little gap here. | ||
| Michael Tracy tweeted, It's silly to declare as foreordained truth that Trump can't win when the official losing margin in 2020 was 42,918 votes in three states. | ||
| Trump actually outperformed polls in 2020 to a greater extent than 2016, and Biden's support in 2024 is much likelier to shrink than grow. | ||
| He's completely correct. | ||
| This guy doesn't like Trump. | ||
| Not a Trump supporter, but he's right. | ||
| Trump barely won in 2016. | ||
| The Trump supporters like to say, no, it was a major electoral victory. | ||
| He had tons of votes. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It was something like 70,000. | ||
| What was it? | ||
| Like 80,000 votes or something in three states. | ||
| In 2020, he only lost by 42,918 in three states. | ||
| Trump does not need to recover that many more votes. | ||
| When you look at how bad Biden is doing, Afghanistan really screwed over Biden. | ||
| Freaked everybody out. | ||
| And now where the economy is at? | ||
| I'm not saying people are going to vote for Trump. | ||
| They're going to be like, I voted for Biden. | ||
| That was a mistake. | ||
| I'm voting Trump. | ||
| But if Trump gets the same 75 million votes, he wins. | ||
| They don't have the lockdowns anymore. | ||
| And there's going to be a lot of apathetic voters who are like, I just don't care anymore. | ||
| Yeah, and I think there are a lot of mainstream institutions that are aware of this. | ||
| The other day when it was the anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, I felt like NPR talked about nothing but because they're trying so desperately to say, this has been a good presidency, good things have happened, we've passed great policies, please stop questioning us, please stop doubting us. | ||
| It's just not there. | ||
| If you have to have a full-fledged radio campaign all day long, then obviously I don't think it's speaking for itself. | ||
| It's about to say something. | ||
| No, no, go ahead. | ||
| No, it speaks for itself, though. | ||
| If you have to sit there and be like, no, look, no, look, it should just be pretty apparent. | ||
| You know, when I was making more money than I ever had in my life and then Trump did his, like, tax cuts where it affected my bottom line, you know, I noticed that immediately. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| That was the only thing I had friends who identify as like, you know, very left liberal be like, well, I guess this is good. | ||
| I got this extra money from Trump. | ||
| So, and then they never talked about it again. | ||
| And you love how they personified it as, you know, it was a cut for like, millionaires and billionaires. | ||
| Like, no, that was something for everyone, but they just got more of their own money to take home. | ||
| And I was at the point in time, I still had TDS. | ||
| So that was kind of... Can I ask who you voted for in 2020? | ||
| Did you vote for Biden? | ||
| Oh, in 2020? | ||
| No, I voted for Trump. | ||
| Oh, OK. | ||
| In 2016, I voted for Bernie in the primary, and then I voted for nobody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Because that's interesting, though. | ||
| I think there will be a lot of people who just will be like, I can't vote for Trump, but I don't want to vote for Biden. | ||
| I'm staying home. | ||
| Well, I think that's going to happen quite a bit here. | ||
| And I think that at the end of the day, for the most part, people are going to vote for whoever is the Republican nominee. | ||
| But I think on the left, you're going to see more people deviating to a third party candidate. | ||
| We can work with that. | ||
| Yes, definitely. | ||
| I think something that gives me pause, at least lately, we've had James Kluge on the show before and he works with Lisa Reynolds right now. | ||
| He has been interviewing people on the Santa Monica boardwalk and the attitude in 2020 was very much anti-Trump. | ||
| The attitude in 2020 is very much anti-Joe Biden, generally speaking. | ||
| Not as much like, oh, I'm going to go and vote to get back at Trump, but like, I'm, I can't do this anymore. | ||
| Like this is, this is cutting into my bottom line. | ||
| It's cutting into my life. | ||
| You know, my business was shut down and I'm not going to vote for this. | ||
| It's been to the point where people are like openly saying like, yeah, I'm going to vote for Trump on the Santa Monica boardwalk. | ||
| Like that didn't used to be a thing and it is now. | ||
| So I feel like you're right. | ||
| Like a lot of people are just going to not, they don't have like that drive. | ||
| They've been at home, they've been working. | ||
| And so they don't have the drive to go and vote, you know, and actually go and do that. | ||
| Like they did in 2020 when that was just like, well, only you could think about, you know? | ||
| So I think it, I think we have, I just, just to be of my own two cents, I think we will be able to do a lot better just because people are not driven to go and vote right now. | ||
| I think that people really were paying attention a lot more to the mainstream media in 2020, which they were able to capitalize on too, because COVID, you know, everyone, I mean, they were putting up death tolls, like football scores or, and people were absolutely captivated by that. | ||
| They could not look away and they were locked in their homes in a lot of instances. | ||
| So they became like, I mean, we saw the absolute insanity surrounding Not Chris Cuomo, Governor Cuomo. | ||
| And, you know, I'm a Cuomo-sexual. | ||
|
unidentified
|
People were just... But they were going absolutely insane! | |
| Now that you've said that, they can clip it, and they will put it on the internet for you. | ||
| Oh, well, great. | ||
| That's why you gotta be careful when you're quoting. | ||
| Oh, no, I mean, I've been through worse. | ||
| It'll be all right. | ||
| But people absolutely losing their minds and talking about how they had, you know, crushes on Anderson Cooper and Governor Cuomo and because everyone was just in their four walls. | ||
| Remember the Q-tips? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Oh, my God, the swab thing. | ||
| Cuomo brothers with the giant Q-tips. | ||
| My favorite was when the nurses were dancing on the graves of the COVID dead. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| My favorite was when Andrew Cuomo did a bunch of press conferences and he wore a polo and you could see his nipple piercings. | ||
| That was such a fun COVID moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jeez. | |
| What a crazy time we all live through. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you serious? | |
| Yes, look it up, there are screenshots. | ||
| Wow, I'm not gonna do that, but okay. | ||
| The corporate press got really mad at me when I said the nurses were dancing on the graves of the COVID dead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I remember that. | |
| They were. | ||
| Because I think that strikes straight through, it was an arrow right through their chain mail, just ripped right through, it found that point of entry, right in, it's that meme of the knight with the thin, you know, he's got the thin strip in his helmet and the arrow right into it, because They're claiming, oh, so many people are dying. | ||
| It's a tragedy. | ||
| And these nurses are just trying to have fun. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, you see the one where the nurses were carrying the fake dead body and dancing? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're dancing on graves. | ||
| And they're like, no, no, they're not. | ||
| Like, that's I'm like, are you kidding? | ||
| there are people who are like George Alexopoulos, best artist | ||
| on the internet, had this really great comic where it's a guy | ||
| like someone's like looking through the glass at their like dying loved one and then there's nurses dancing behind them. | ||
| And then he compares it to other situations where it's like | ||
| people in war like soldiers are dancing and filming themselves | ||
| as they blow people up and stuff like that. | ||
| We see that. So I want to be careful when I say this. | ||
| Because I really, deeply and truly respect nurses in particular. | ||
| However, there's a bit of a meme slash stereotype of the mean girl from your high school becoming nurses. | ||
| And there are plenty of news stories. | ||
| One recently, and I can't remember the name or anything about it, but it was a nurse who she had been responsible for the deaths of seven babies. | ||
| Oh yeah, this is Letby in the UK, I just heard about this today. | ||
| Right, and there's this, you can play God in some of their minds, you know, you hold the kind of- Lucy Letby. | ||
| Seven babies. | ||
| What did she do that killed the babies? | ||
| She injected air into their bloodstreams, or she overfed them, or there's all kinds of stuff. | ||
| She was accused- It's dark. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And why? | |
| There's a level of attention that comes with losing a baby that she seemed to have this pathological addiction to. | ||
| She was killing her own babies? | ||
| No, she was a neonatal nurse. | ||
| And so it's babies that are already at high risk. | ||
| They're already medically fragile. | ||
| You know, there was, I think, three sets of twins because twins are often born early. | ||
| One set of triplets that were involved in this. | ||
| Total is 17 children. | ||
| She was ultimately convicted of murdering seven and attempted murder of six more. | ||
| It's just awful. | ||
| And, you know, the prosecution and the defense or prosecution during trial presented this Maybe she wanted to play God. | ||
| Maybe there was a doctor that it seems like maybe she had some emotional connection to and that when they'd be like, oh, I'm treating a baby that I'm caring for just died. | ||
| Maybe pay more attention. | ||
| That's so psychotic. | ||
| You know, it just makes no sense at all. | ||
| It's there's real darkness in the world. | ||
| And the judge, you know, there's a lot of like Dr. Kevorkian, like there's a lot of like psychos in medicine. | ||
| And you have to really think about those kind of things. | ||
| I'm not like against the death penalty wholly. | ||
| And I would support it for someone that murders children. | ||
| Yeah, especially- I would hope you would. | ||
| Children she's supposed to be caring for. | ||
| That's like the creepiest thing. | ||
| Now hold on there a minute. | ||
| I would be in favor of a death sentence for a wide variety of very serious offenses. | ||
| People who kill kids, people who exploit and traffic kids, child traffickers like all the ones you saw in Sound of Freedom, death penalty. | ||
| My only problem with it procedurally is I don't trust Kamala Harris. | ||
| Right. | ||
| To be honest, when she tells me that I should agree with putting someone to death. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, if there was... It's really tough. | ||
| I won't support the system. | ||
| But to be fair, in the instance where you catch someone in the act, and you're with a crowd of people, and they were like, everyone standing before us just watched this man try to sell a child. | ||
| Then I'd be like, I don't need to trust anybody but myself watching the guy do it. | ||
| And then the guy says, I did it and I'll do it again. | ||
| If you let me go, I'd be like, okay, well, that's a different story. | ||
| My only concern is the instances where the person's desperately begging, I didn't do this, you're the wrong guy, and it's a Kamala Harris type being like, I don't care! | ||
| And I'm like, ugh. | ||
| Yeah, it's really hard. | ||
| I mean, I think the death penalty is extremely serious. | ||
| This case was in the UK, so Lucy Letby got sentenced to, I think I call it full life, like she'll spend- Right, full term. | ||
| Full term, she'll spend a complete life in prison for each one of the counts she was convicted for murder for. | ||
| But, you know, so some of the children did survive these attempted killings and some of them are severely disabled, you know, they're six or eight years old because these happened between 2015 and 2016. | ||
| There are times that, you know, I would not want to be on that jury because it's so awful and I don't know that the death penalty was actually on the table because it happened in the UK. | ||
| The point of all that, though, is that when you're talking about the visual of the COVID nurses holding those, I think about people like Lucy Letby. | ||
| Thank you for knowing her name and more details, because you know more than I do. | ||
| I just wrote about it today for Timcast News. | ||
| You guys should check it out. | ||
| Go read it! | ||
| But when I think about people like that, and you think about the different stories of just really, really pathologically Messed up people taking a job in medicine where it comes out later that they were playing God or they were messing with people's lives because they thrived. | ||
| I think about the dancing nurses and how it was all about TikTok clout. | ||
| Again, I had to attend my step-grandfather's funeral on Skype because they wanted to I had friends who were not allowed to be with their dying parents until the very last moment when it was over. | ||
| And you think, what would it have been like if you were allowed to have loved ones by your side? | ||
| Nothing makes me, I don't get angry about a lot, but that makes me very angry. | ||
| It's really hard. | ||
| It makes me very angry indeed. | ||
| If a medical, that they could experiment on the human population, that there'd be like medical tyrannists that you would, who, our government, like our National Guard is here to protect us from psycho doctors trying to experiment on our children. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, they've done it before! | |
| They do that to our military! | ||
| I mean, they make them the guinea pig for all kinds of things. | ||
| And they've done it with, like, literal people. | ||
| Like, remember, it's the thing where they infected, I forget who it was, but they gave people syphilis back in the day. | ||
| Tuskegee. | ||
| Tuskegee, that's right. | ||
| So they've done it before. | ||
| There's president, they've done it before. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think the strange thing about the dancing nurses is that they were told by culture, you guys are the heroes and you don't do anything. | ||
| I'm sure there are nurses who gave great care during this time. | ||
| I think in the UK they would go outside and clap every day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Can you imagine? | ||
| Some cities ring bells and stuff. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| But, you know, how can you stand there and make a TikTok while knowing that someone who is suffering in the room next to you is not allowed to have visitors? | ||
| Like, I don't know what it's like to work in a hospital and I can't Imagine what the stress is like. | ||
| On the other hand, I can say that you probably could tell that was wrong. | ||
| You could tell that you were in the wrong being able to take time to dance for this apparent, you know, tragedy while someone is actually suffering. | ||
| I'm just trying to find the G Prime 85 comic and I'm just laughing at all of them as I go through them all. | ||
| He's so talented. | ||
| I have a lot of friends who are first responders and do I mean they like are the first witnesses to some of the most horrific stuff you'll ever see and there is definitely a stereotype of having like dark sense of humor that really anyone else would probably find abhorrent but you know that's how you cope with those sort of things you see a lot of that with like police officers too that again respond to like fires and crime scenes and things like that and I think that Dancing to cope through your good time on TikTok doesn't quite resonate the same as like, you know, someone telling maybe a little bit of an off-color joke, but you know that they've seen things that you would never want to see. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think people have this ability to like turn off their empathy when it comes in regards to another person that's pissed you off. | ||
| They get to the point and you're like, you know what? | ||
| I don't even care anything anymore about that person. | ||
| A bug that you're about to kill, sometimes I'll get emotional, like, I'm about to slay this bug, and then I'll just be like, hold on a second. | ||
| It's a bug. | ||
| And then I'm like, I have no compassion. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| And I feel like people went with that towards people with COVID, and during the lockdowns and all the shutdowns, they were like, they are filthy, they are dirty, they are other. | ||
| Well, I wonder if it's they turn to like, well, I'm getting affirmation on TikTok and I need this right now because I'm doing there's a there was a prioritization of self over service. | ||
| And of course, you have to think about your own needs in some regard. | ||
| But it makes me think about I don't know if you guys have listened to it, but the New York Times just did that. | ||
| I think it's a five episode podcast called The Retrievals. | ||
| And it's about a woman, a nurse who worked at a fertility clinic attached to Yale, the Yale University Health System. | ||
| And she Swapped fentanyl, which is given to women when they are having an egg retrieval, for saline because she was apparently addicted to fentanyl. | ||
| And so the women went through these extremely, I mean you don't get prescribed fentanyl for nothing, these procedures with no painkiller. | ||
| And while they were like, it was like 70 of them in total, while they were like writhing in pain on the table, doctors were like, this is weird, this doesn't usually happen. | ||
| Were they like under? | ||
| I mean, anesthetics affect different people differently, and there's another sedative that goes with it, but a lot of them were just awake and, like, saying, like, I could drive home right now. | ||
| I'm in so much pain, but I am not in any way medicated. | ||
| I got it. | ||
| You got it. | ||
| It's, uh, here we go. | ||
| Yeah, so this is from G Prime. | ||
| It says, I'll miss you, Dad. | ||
| I only wish. | ||
| Do you want to switch to the full view so we can see the whole thing? | ||
| There you go. | ||
| And then the woman's crying. | ||
| I only wish that I could have held your hand one last time. | ||
| And that's all the doctors dancing. | ||
| There's a bunch of them actually. | ||
| So this one is a plague doctor coming into a house. | ||
| And there's like a woman and someone dying. | ||
| And the woman's, you know, got the plague. | ||
| And then the plague doctors all start dancing. | ||
| And then this particularly brutal one where soldiers are rushing into a field. | ||
| There's an explosion. | ||
| I'm hit, medic! | ||
| And then they all start dancing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The nurses dancing was the most disgusting and vile thing I have ever seen. | |
| I like the plague doctor more. | ||
| The plague doctors look like they're in some sort of musical. | ||
| Yeah it does. | ||
| The nurses dancing was the most disgusting and vile thing I have ever seen. | ||
| Yeah, that's gross. | ||
| It was just, there's a video of these women and they're filming as the nurses are choreographing their dance, | ||
| and then you hear one woman go, is this why we can't get any help? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No joke. | ||
| Man, these people are disgusting and psychotic. | ||
| I'd love to interview one of those frontline nurses. | ||
| Because a lot of those people got caught up in the chaos and were like, well, all I'm going to do is my best. | ||
| I don't even know what that... And so they're just like... Not even? | ||
| Working 18-hour days and exhausted. | ||
| No, dude, dancing in the hallways? | ||
| Yeah, so they would break and then they'd do stuff like that. | ||
| Some of them would. | ||
| Some of them would be like, just to keep morale anywhere above zero. | ||
| But some of them might have been maliciously nuts. | ||
| I think it's just like... | ||
| I think they were all more obsessed with getting likes on social media than they were with actually dealing with the problem. | ||
| Because they were being, the mainstream, again, everyone was glued to the mainstream media. | ||
| The mainstream media was holding up the, if you say anything against the science, the doctors, the nurses, then you are a terrible person. | ||
| You're a hero! | ||
| You're a hero! | ||
| And all of these, again, like mean girls from high school are like, I'm a hero! | ||
| Let me put up my dance on TikTok! | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| People actually live in one of two worlds. | ||
| You need to imagine what it must be like to only watch CNN. | ||
| For real, or MSNBC. | ||
| So these people sitting in their cubicle-locked apartments in New York City, glued to MSNBC, think outside, the world's on fire. | ||
| People in rural areas. | ||
| We came to West Virginia during the lockdowns because New Jersey was getting bad because we knew that in West Virginia you could just live your life and do exactly what you were doing before. | ||
| But these people in New York thought the apocalypse was here. | ||
| And then you get these nurses Clearly the apocalypse wasn't that they have time, in any capacity, to choreograph dancing. | ||
| Vile, disgusting behavior. | ||
| I worked with someone who was living in DC but would occasionally have to drive out to West Virginia and he would always say, it's like a different world. | ||
| I'm, you know, driving only a couple hours and the attitude, this is like 2020, 2021, is just completely different. | ||
| In DC it's like everything is ending and in West Virginia it's like, Meh, you know, there might be some stuff you have to be aware of, but for the most part, life is continuing on. | ||
| No, I mean, I'm blessed to live in the state of Alabama. | ||
| I love Alabama, you know, but we're full, don't move here. | ||
| But it started to kind of peter out towards the end of the summer-ish, in most parts, you know, there's still definitely people still playing Pandemic otherwise. | ||
| Yeah, most people's mask, like, if you did, you know, go somewhere and you didn't want to put up a fire, like, whatever, sure. | ||
| Like, I had a, like, a mask that had penguins on it because I'd had it since, like, the previous, like, I guess, cold time. | ||
| And, like, it would be, like, July and I'd pull it. | ||
| But most people are, like, pulling these dirty, disgusting things out of their pocket and it's like, that's actually healthy! | ||
| No, I think the worst thing that I saw was a, it was a mask that was a scrunchie. | ||
| It goes into your hair, and you're like, your hair's disgusting. | ||
| I mean, it is. | ||
| For convenience. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What a crazy Amazon find that is. | ||
| That does literally nothing. | ||
| But it went viral on TikTok, and so everyone bought it. | ||
| It's like, that literally does nothing. | ||
| So congratulations. | ||
| It might even be doing harm. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| If there's fecal bacteria or recirculated bacteria and fungus and stuff on it. | ||
| You don't want to breathe it in. | ||
| Man, TikTok really benefited from the pandemic, you know? | ||
| It could sell anything. | ||
| Well, no, and I have noticed a shift of people calling things like pandemic behavior, you know, when you see someone on... I don't know if y'all are... I just scroll through it because it's fascinating, a little slice of humanity, but you'll see someone saying like, my pronouns are ZZMs or whatever, and everyone in the comments will be like, this is just pandemic behavior. | ||
| And I think that there's a bit of a shift in kind of the awareness like there's some self-awareness and like sentience almost kind of being developed. | ||
| Yeah, which I'm really I'm proud of you know, it's a good sign sign of life. | ||
| I've heard since the one-two punch of awakening during COVID one was the COVID itself where you're like, Okay, everyone's gonna die? | ||
| Okay, I'll shut down everything about my life. | ||
| Oh, everyone's not gonna die? | ||
| Okay, then what the fuck did we just do that for? | ||
| Then why can't I reopen? | ||
| And then the other thing is Epstein. | ||
| When it came out that Epstein was actually running kids, that just shocked people to awareness of how much things have been pulled over our eyes. | ||
| It has become so... It's crazy, because he was a convicted child predator at that point. | ||
| Yeah, even before. | ||
| That's the thing we don't realize. | ||
| I already had the church in like 2006. | ||
| And all these high-profile people were still hanging out. | ||
| They got a sweet art deal. | ||
| And they were like open because of COVID. | ||
| People's ears had been open to what was going on in schools, and then the Epstein crap came out. | ||
| I mean, that was around the same time. | ||
| Was that before COVID? | ||
| Shortly before COVID? | ||
| I think it was a year before, during? | ||
| Right before. | ||
| Right before, correct. | ||
| But it just, everybody was ready to really let that ruminate, what that means. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Well, he was, you know, found dead. | ||
| He was found dead. | ||
| He was unalive, as the kids say. | ||
| His game ended in Minecraft before it happened, yeah. | ||

| Let's read! | ||
| Marcus Bishop says, hello from Maine. | ||
| I hope your trip wasn't too bad here. | ||
| As soon as you leave the Portland area, you see less of the mask and lefty stuff and more of the Trump freedom stuff. | ||
| I had so much lobster and I have never had lobster that good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It is the lobster capital of America. | ||
| It's it's. | ||
| You could just, you could eat it forever. | ||
| Did you bring that crab back from Maine? | ||
| No, no, the crab was from, is Maryland crab dip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Yeah, see we're in crab country in Maryland, that's no big deal. | ||
| You get some of the best crab ever out here. | ||
| It's the best. | ||
| But, uh, lobster up in Maine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude. | |
| Wow. | ||
| What'd you guys do in Maine? | ||
| Ate a lot of raw oysters and lobster. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Just hang out by the water? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We went on a boat. | ||
| We rode a boat around. | ||
| That was pretty fun. | ||
| And we ate lobster rolls. | ||
| And then we had raw oysters and lobsters. | ||
| And I went to the local casino. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| That's what we do. | ||
| It's like throughout the day, it's like we get breakfast at a hot spot and, you know, nice little spot in Portland. | ||
| Then we go on a boat and we ride around. | ||
| Then we eat a bunch of lobster. | ||
| And then everyone's like, okay, we're tired. | ||
| Got to put the kids to bed. | ||
| And then, you know, for the last hour or two, we went and played at the casino and I got to experience their insane COVID rules, which give the player a massive edge and allow you to win ridiculous sums of money. | ||
| The poker casino games were always full. | ||
| And I'm assuming it's because all the players realize, yo, like, your edge is massive when you can see all the cards. | ||
| And the more players playing, the bigger your advantage gets. | ||
| And they just keep playing the game. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| It's crazy. | ||
| I guess they make money on slots. | ||
| They didn't care. | ||
| But then the next day, we just went to downtown Portland, walked around, and I was very concerned. | ||
| About eating about a dozen raw oysters, and then ice cream, and then getting on a plane. | ||
| But everything was okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| Everything was fine. | ||
| So it was really cool though, the raw oysters, they have from all different, they're all different places, different sizes, different kinds. | ||
| I've never been big on oysters, but you put like horseradish cocktail and vinegar on it and lemon juice. | ||
| Yeah, it was really, really great. | ||
| Probably the healthiest I've eaten in a long time, to be honest. | ||
| Sounds good. | ||
| Chilled lobster with drawn butter. | ||
| When they're good, they're good. | ||
| When they're bad, they're terrible. | ||
| Like, it's the worst thing you've ever had. | ||
| I had one bad one, but it was only bad because it had shell bits stuck in it. | ||
| But I'm chewing and it's crunching, and then I'm like, okay, I can't eat this, and then I can't figure out, it's just everywhere. | ||
| The whole thing was covered in, so I just spit the whole thing out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sand and stuff. | |
| It's bits of the shell again, and they're like, I can't eat it. | ||
| It's a sensory nightmare. | ||
| Every once in a while, those oysters will have a little stone in them, so be careful when you bite down. | ||
| Go slow, suss it out with your tongue, get all the stones. | ||
| Because what'll happen is an oyster will have a tiny little stone in the very center of its stomach sometimes, and they'll digest it. | ||
| Oysters have a lot of zinc, right? | ||
| They're supposed to be good for you because they give you a lot of zinc? | ||
| Yeah, it's funny that he mentions, though, what the superchatter said about how you leave Portland and then there's a bunch of Trump signs and everything out there. | ||
| That's exactly like Portland on the other side of the country. | ||
| So, interesting fact. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's a lot like a lot of states. | ||
| We live in the big cities. | ||
| DynamiteChick said, Antifa set two cop cars on fire and vandalized a councilman's car in Asheville, North Carolina. | ||
| Please look into the story. | ||
| Who cares about a sign? | ||
| We have war. | ||
| We did. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I didn't see. | ||
| They didn't say anything about Antifa, but maybe you know because you're down there. | ||
| Old EOD guy says first ever super chat for first cup of sleepy joe. | ||
| Delicious. | ||
| Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I gotta be honest with you guys. | ||
| I will be 100% completely honest. | ||
| The French Roast from Casprew is, it's okay. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, I'm not gonna sit here and say it's good unless it's good. | ||
| I like the French Roast. | ||
| I would say that if I'm gonna go out, like, I like it better than, I like the French Roast better than most French Roasts I've ever gotten. | ||
| But it's fair, I would just consider it to be average. | ||
| You know, it's like, oh, it's a French Roast. | ||
| But Appalachian Nights, that's a blend we put together. | ||
| And Rives with Roberto Jr., those are my favorites. | ||
| Seriously, there's, like, Appalachian Nights is so good, I'm just chugging the whole thing. | ||
| Legit. | ||
| And I'm like, man, this is, this is too good. | ||
| You think you'll discontinue certain ones over time if they don't sell a lot? | ||
| Like, do analytics and, like, get rid of the French roast? | ||
| Nope, we just order less. | ||
| Or start a new one? | ||
| Just order less? | ||
| Yeah, my view on a lot of this stuff is, like, I don't like how Netflix operates in that we have a really big show, it's a hit show, it makes money, but not enough money, so we're gonna cancel it and prioritize other things. | ||
| I'm like, that's dumb. | ||
| If we're selling 100 bags of, say, the French Roast every month, then we'll just reduce our orders to 100 bags per month. | ||
| Because the people who like it can still buy it. | ||
| It's no big deal for us. | ||
| We want to get them what they need. | ||
| We'll just reduce in that area. | ||
| And then where the demand is, we'll give more. | ||
| So I will say this. | ||
| Roberto Jr. | ||
| passed away abruptly, unfortunately. | ||
| He died suddenly of a heart attack. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| Roberto Jr. | ||
| died suddenly of a heart attack. | ||
| I don't know what happened. | ||
| And the current bags that we have, we have a few thousand of them left. | ||
| They're actually selling rapidly because of this. | ||
| So we print batches of bags in about 5,000 per order, but we only brew the coffee in a few hundred per order. | ||
| I think it's a few hundred. | ||
| And we do that consistently so they're always fresh in rotation. | ||
| Once these printed bags are gone, they will never exist again. | ||
| The new bags will have an in-loving memory of Roberto Jr. | ||
| on the back of them. | ||
| It'll be effectively the same thing, but if you want the original bag from when Roberto Jr. | ||
| was our star celebrity and he was alive, you gotta buy it now before they run out. | ||
| We're doing a special Halloween blend called Re-Rise with Roberto Jr. | ||
| that's got a chicken leg coming out of the ground. | ||
| And we're only going to be doing 500 of these. | ||
| And it's a, yeah. | ||
| I think it's gonna be, I think it's a medium roast, I'm not entirely sure. | ||
| But I'm really excited for, I think we talked with Alex Stein about doing the prime time, Alex Stein 99 prime time grind. | ||
| And I think it's gonna be two times the caffeine. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| It'll be so fun. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| And then Seamus is working on the art for the Seamus blend. | ||
| Really excited for all this. | ||
| Let's grab some more Super Chats. | ||
| Where we at? | ||
| Matthew Hammond says, Lauren is the best. | ||
| We should all remember that black pills are suppositories. | ||
| Is that is that a reference from you? | ||
| No, no, but I do. | ||
| I do kind of think that I talk a lot about black pilling on the show and and just say, you know, it's drinking poison and expecting other people to die. | ||
| It's and it poisons the minds of other people around you. | ||
| Like it does not. | ||
| If you're wanting to vent, if you're wanting to You know, have a moment, fine. | ||
| But if that's all you're doing constantly, you will bring those things into fruition. | ||
| So I'd have a pretty... It's not like a no blackpilling allowed thing, but, you know, be constructive with what you're saying or get out. | ||
| Probably one of my issues with venting in text, because if you vent with your words, it's done. | ||
| If you vent on Twitter, it's there forever for people to go read next week and go relive your trauma from last week that's out of your system. | ||
| So, like, don't vent with text. | ||
| Vent with your words. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Alan Childers says, can I get a shout out for the birth of my son, Joseph Daniel, born 645 tonight. | ||
| Mom and baby are doing great. | ||
| I'm going to have to get him a beanie now. | ||
| Shout out, Joseph Daniel. | ||
| Welcome to Earth. | ||
| Look at that kid coming in before IRL so his dad didn't miss the live show. | ||
| How respectful! | ||
| I know, it's just very thoughtful. | ||
| Maybe there's a chance to vent in text alone in your journal. | ||
| Just don't put your text vent online. | ||
| Do me that favor, not you. | ||
| No, I do that all the time. | ||
| Happy birthday, baby! | ||
| Thomas Ruff says, lost my dog to cancer on Friday. | ||
| Please give a shout out to Rufus Xavier, my beloved best friend of 14 years. | ||
| Rufus! | ||
| What a name. | ||
| This is an emotional rollercoaster. | ||
| Yeah, really. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're up, we're down. | |
| I'm having a hard time, guys. | ||
| Sorry to hear it, Good Sir Thomas. | ||
| Rufus Xavier is chasing cars up in heaven. | ||
| WeirdNugz says, 30,500 acre wildfire in Oregon, 881 personnel on site, please keep them in your prayers. | ||
| Wow, it is an emotional rollercoaster. | ||
| What a crazy day. | ||
| One of my buddies from Boise, from back in the day, is out there right now. | ||
| Fighting fires? | ||
| Yes sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Hidden Mission says, are you going to talk about the House Oversight Committee, Robert L. Peters, Joe Biden, pseudonym, pseudonymous, pseudonymous, is that how you say it? | ||
| Pseudonymous. | ||
| Pseudonymous emails The Daily Wire is covering. | ||
| Perhaps I'll cover it tomorrow morning. | ||
| Pseudonymous. | ||
| It's interesting stuff. | ||
| Pseudonym. | ||
| That one gamer says, I was the one who recommended inspiring philosophy for the culture war on the after show a while back. | ||
| I was thinking maybe he can have a conversation with Ian. | ||
| Easy to reach on X. What do you say, Ian? | ||
| It is about time for me to do another culture war. | ||
| Religion one. | ||
| Let's make it a good one. | ||
| We need to find some good religious debaters. | ||
| Maybe Bill Maher. | ||
| Because of the writer's strike, real time's not on air, right? | ||
| Can we get Bill Maher to come in and talk religion? | ||
| That'd be awesome. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That'd be really interesting. | ||
| I just watched about half of him and Vivek Ramaswamy go at it on Club Random. | ||
| Cool stuff. | ||
| You know, I wish I'd been there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Me too! | |
| It's got a real friendly vibe. | ||
| Little V for Vendetta quote. | ||
| But there was, when he mentions that Donald Trump said, if WikiLeaks has the email, you know, we'd be interested in having it published or whatever. | ||
| And Bill Maher took a very, like, Neolib, hyper-extreme view of it, and Vivek was like, | ||
| I don't know what you're talking about. | ||
| And then he was like, you're the no BS guy and you don't even know what you're talking- | ||
| He said he wanted Russia to do this, blah blah blah, and I'm like, | ||
| Bill needs to have a sit-down with some regular people. | ||
| You know what I mean? Like, I think- Yeah. | ||
| I would love to do a Bill Maher culture war, and then also just get some, like, | ||
| suburban, metro, you know, DC area- area kind of guys, like middle of the road, kind of anger the Democrats and just have him join the show and talk to Bill. | ||
| Yeah, I got the same vibe because Vivek kept being like, I'm going to make the country and bring people together. | ||
| And he's like, and then Bill will be like, yeah, but Trump. | ||
| There's plenty of things that you could criticize Vivek on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do like him. | |
| about making the world better Trump and your boyfriend Trump and he was like | ||
| that was like the final straw for Vivek when he called it told Vicky was his | ||
| boyfriend he was like all right dude I'm here because I want to be and I was like | ||
| yeah he's just too he's been stuck in that political life for so long so | ||
|
unidentified
|
intensely I'd love to help him out there's plenty of things that you could | |
| criticize a vacant I do like him there's some big hole I don't know but if you're | ||
| if it's reduced down to but Trump that's not really that's not really | ||
| That's what Bill kept doing. | ||
| People are just dumb. | ||
| Yeah, he was like really, really pissed about it. | ||
| Alright, Viperus69 says, just watched your video about the Queen song. | ||
| There's something you missed. | ||
| The card is the Greatest Hits Vol. | ||
| 1 album. | ||
| Queen's Greatest Hits is a three-album set, and I want to break Freedia's on Vol. | ||
|
unidentified
|
2. | |
| Ah, I see, I see, so I missed that. | ||
| Either way, the issue is this. | ||
| There's this thing called the Uto Player, which is for children ages 0 through 9. | ||
| Well, they have a 9 plus section, but it's like 0 through 2, you know, 2 to 4, 6 to 8, or whatever. | ||
| And for the Queen card, it's little memory cards you put in and it plays it, they removed the song Fat Bottomed Girls. | ||
| And it generated some controversy where everyone's like, oh, they removed the song from the album, it's wokeness, it's millennials, and I'm like, dude, it's a kid's thing. | ||
| You know, but I gotta be honest. | ||
| I don't know if Bohemian Rhapsody is appropriate for 2-year-olds or 5-year-olds either. | ||
| On the website it says 6 to 14. | ||
| And I'm like, I get having like a six-year-old and wanting to sing Bohemian Rhapsody, but I also think people should consider you're driving in your car with your six-year-old going, Mama just killed a man, put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger. | ||
| Now, I don't know if you want to be saying that in front of your kid, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it's one of the greatest songs ever, if not the greatest. | ||
| And it's like one of the best things to sing. | ||
| But I understand why they took Fat Bottomed Girls off of the, you know, they're like, we don't want kids listening to Fat Bottomed Girls. | ||
| What a great song. | ||
| It's a similar thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You make the rockin' world go round That song's so good! | |
| To be fair though, I do think Fat Bottomed Girls is sillier and funnier for kids | ||
| than I put a gun against his head and pulled the trigger and now I'm gonna go away for a long time, I gotta face the | ||
| truth I think Bohemian Rhapsody may be one of the best songs ever | ||
| written Oh yeah | ||
| It didn't exist in the 80s. | ||
| I grew up born in 79. | ||
| And then it never got radio play in the 80s, never got radio play in the 90s. | ||
| And then Wayne's World came out and put it in the movie and then it exploded and became a world Worldwide hit like in the 90s it was big early for | ||
| initially the first record labels And if you watch the Queen movie whatever they talked about | ||
| it But they didn't want to put it out because like why are we | ||
| lying out an orchestral song? | ||
| That's this long like there's no way there's gonna like this and people love it. I'm pretty sure the song came out | ||
| in 1975 as well Yes, yeah, I didn't even know it existed till Wayne's world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was right away. It was yeah It was huge massive 70s massive. It got like zero play in | |
| the 80s And they were the radios were basically forced to play this | ||
| you know essentially six minutes song They don't play cuz it's so big. Yeah, right | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yep. | ||
| But it's an example of how a song can come out and 20 years later become a number one hit. | ||
| Shout out Waynesboro. | ||
| Let's grab some more Super Chats. | ||
| T Wood says, Portland isn't anything like the rest of Maine. | ||
| Down East Maine voted Republican in 2020 and politically removed from Portland. | ||
| Oh yeah, for sure, for sure. | ||
| Grog says, Portland, Maine is the blue in a red state. | ||
| They may be broken, but the blue infested a lot. | ||
| Don't be violent, people. | ||
| Absolutely don't be violent. | ||
| I think Maine's great. | ||
| I think I talk about it all the time, but I think Maine's wonderful. | ||
| You spend much time up there? | ||
| I've gone a couple different times. | ||
| I just find the coastal Maine and the architecture there, it's just gorgeous. | ||
| I think it's an underrated state, but I also grew up in New England, so it sort of feels more like home to me. | ||
| I love Maine. | ||
| I went up there with Bill Altman. | ||
| His family has a little property up there, like a little, like four houses and like this little guest community thing. | ||
| We stayed up there for a few days, right on the Canadian border. | ||
| Man, it's so nice. | ||
| Gorgeous. | ||
| You see Canada. | ||
| Noob431 says, had to put my 19-year-old cat Butters down this morning. | ||
| He loved watching Chicken City, so that was the last thing he got to watch as he waited for the vet. | ||
| He was the best cat. | ||
| Thanks for the stream, guys. | ||
| Sorry to hear. | ||
| Sorry to hear. | ||
| Butters. | ||
| We lost it. | ||
| Chicken City lost its best fan today. | ||
| Aw, that's so sweet. | ||
| 19 years is such a testament to how well you took care of your cat, though. | ||
| That's so true. | ||
| That's a long life for a cat. | ||
| That's a long life. | ||
| Well, Bocas has been alive a lot longer than he's supposed to be. | ||
| How old is he? | ||
| He is going on five, I think he's just over five now, and he was, the doctor said he had a couple weeks to live in December. | ||
| Good job, Bocas. | ||
| So he's on, he's on, he's got a heart defect and he's got kidney problems because he was a street cat who was malnourished, presumably, And so the kidney medicine is bad for the heart, the heart medicine is bad for the kidneys. | ||
| We could give him dialysis for the kidneys, but his heart can't handle it, so we're just basically struggling to maintain balance, and his blood levels are getting out of whack, his kidneys don't work that well, but we're giving him hormones to simulate red blood cell growth, so we may have to do... | ||
| Like, once the blood levels, like nitrogen or whatever, gets too high, like, do a blood transfusion, which could kill him, because his heart is no good, but we can't leave his blood in a bad state. | ||
| I'll just say, he's very happy. | ||
| He's been in good spirits over the past several months. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| He's been living life, he's been gaining weight, and he's survived a lot longer than they thought he would. | ||
| So that's really, that's really good news. | ||
| But we can't give him fluids anymore, is a big problem. | ||
| With animals, and cats in particular, their mood is a big part of, will they survive? | ||
| Do they want to live? | ||
| You know, humans too. | ||
| The broken heart death is like, just so tragic. | ||
| It's funny because I feel like he's a Chicago guy. | ||
| Do you guys know Mancow? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I think they syndicated him in Ohio. | ||
| IRL or culture war. | ||
| He became a huge free speech advocate, even was in the Illinois governor race. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be really cool. | ||
| Never even considered having Mancow on, we should definitely. | ||
| It's funny because I feel like he's a Chicago guy. | ||
| Do you guys know Mancow? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I think they syndicated him in Ohio. | ||
| He's like huge in Chicago. | ||
| I don't know if he still is. | ||
| It's like Howard Stern, but in Chicago. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| And it's funny, he's got billboards everywhere. | ||
| I remember my friends telling me that on the morning of 9-11, | ||
| they were on their way to school, high school, and Mancow is this like shock jock morning show. | ||
| And then he's like, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a joke. | ||
| A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center, and then they all start laughing in the car. | ||
| Like, that man, Kyle, is so ridiculous with his ridiculous show, and then he's like, this is not a joke, this is serious, another plane's crashed, and they're all laughing in the car, like, this guy's out of his mind. | ||
| They have to, like, bring in a producer and be like, no, he's not joking. | ||
| No, they went into school and they walked in and they said, everyone, call your parents, you're going home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I guess in Chicago they would send everyone home. | ||
| Some places did, some places didn't. | ||
| I feel like major cities probably did. | ||
| Some schools brought in TVs and turned the news on and just made everybody watch. | ||
| I was I think in kindergarten when it happened and we all got sent home but I grew up like two hours outside of New York so there was like lots of panic all around and people's parents commute in and stuff like that. | ||
| I wasn't in school. | ||
| I was at home sleeping. | ||
| Woke up to the news on the TV. | ||
| Same. | ||
| I was in Queens. | ||
| And then I had to listen. | ||
| I didn't have a TV set up because I just moved to New York City. | ||
| And so I listened to Howard Stern talk about it for like three hours. | ||
| It's pretty wild. | ||
| I could smell it. | ||
| I could see it. | ||
| 6th grade in Alabama. | ||
| Everyone's... The Real Hydro PX. | ||
| This guy probably gives us more money in Super Chats than any other person. | ||
| Sorry, Raymond G. Stanley Jr. | ||
| Hydro's got you covered. | ||
| He says, Tim, you said you would pay $5,000 for any information on who did the arson. | ||
| You said nothing about the police pressing charges. | ||
| Pay the guy already. | ||
| Actually, the tweet I put out specifically said, as for legal reasons, information leading to the arrest and conviction. | ||
| Of the the arsonist and there's very specific legal reasons why I said it that way and why everyone always does say it that way. | ||
| Oh, I think we got an update. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, hold on. | |
| I just got a notification on Twitter right now about it. | ||
| I'm trying to find it. | ||
| Where's the stupid notification? | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| It's in here somewhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A tweet from John Kane. | |
| What does he say? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Whoa, okay. | ||
| Wake County DA Lauren Freeman to charge the 2x arsonist with two counts of misdemeanor injury to real property. | ||
| And John Kane, at John M. Kane, with a K, 7076 put out a response with the announcement. | ||
| Well, there you go! | ||
| And so there's a reason why I said information that leads to the arrest and conviction, because, and I'll leave it at that, there's a legal reason for putting that out as such. | ||
| And additionally, I said earlier, Hydro, if you paid attention, that I believe the evidence was so overwhelming that it constitutes an immediate payout of the reward, and I am conferring with legal to properly pay this reward to the individual who provided said information. | ||
| Considering, I don't know what the fake outrage over the reward is, like, considering I'm putting $20,000 into a local DIY skate contest, pretty sure it's not gonna be a big deal to make sure the guy who's helping bring an arsonist to justice gets paid. | ||
| It's just like, the news just broke today, and I'm contacting my lawyer to properly have the funds transferred. | ||
| Because I don't know how it works with rewards for, you know, criminal actions and things like that. | ||
| But, uh, yeah, there you go. | ||
| What do we got? | ||
| Let's grab some more. | ||
| Super chats. | ||
| All right. | ||
| D3FEC says, if Trump is being prosecuted for actions he did while president, why isn't a Republican AG prosecuting Obama for terrorism for droning that cafe in Yemen? | ||
| Just to show the precedent they are setting. | ||
| Yeah, come on. | ||
| We want the Republicans to do a lot of things they don't do. | ||
| However, to be fair, You know, a lot of people complain about the Republicans in Congress. | ||
| They are filing subpoenas and charges, and they're working on stuff. | ||
| You know, I'm not particularly satisfied with it, but it's only been a few months. | ||
| It's been almost a year since they gained control, and there have been a lot of things that have come out. | ||
| And I think the Republicans will ramp up in 2024. | ||
| There is information that seems to show Joe Biden intentionally intervened to protect Hunter in these criminal cases, which is absolute impeachment. | ||
| Absolute. | ||
| Conviction, not so much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll see. | |
| Where are we at with these superchats? | ||
| Jason Dixon said, Tim, make sure they buy the correct song. | ||
| There are several fake copies of his song. | ||
| Also got a guest suggestion, how about Raymond Stanley Jr.? | ||
| Yes, perhaps! | ||
| We'll have him, well, he works here now. | ||
| Yeah, I just met him today, he's so nice. | ||
| Yeah, it's official. | ||
| Yeah, and we periodically have people come on, but, uh, you know. | ||
| Uh, where are we at? | ||
| Yeah, shout out, he's the nicest. | ||
| Doing good work, helping make sure everything's working. | ||
| Our AC keeps breaking. | ||
| Simple fixes too, it's just nobody knows how to fix it. | ||
| Justin Green, Oliver Anthony to perform at Blue Ridge Rock Festival! | ||
| That was the best. | ||
| Look, I've been only to a handful of festivals, but Blue Ridge was amazing. | ||
| It was fantastic. | ||
| I think it's Virginia. | ||
| I've driven up the parkway. | ||
| It's gorgeous. | ||
| It kind of invokes scenery ideas. | ||
| It's huge. | ||
| Massive. | ||
| Massive. | ||
| And it was super fun. | ||
| We got to hang out with Adelita's Way. | ||
| That was really cool. | ||
| Those guys were awesome. | ||
| Seeing them play live, that was amazing. | ||
| Those guys can perform. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| Rick's a genius. | ||
| It's sold out. | ||
| He's so great. | ||
| It's sold out. | ||
| We have a song. | ||
| I did a song with Adelita's Way that'll be being released in the next couple months. | ||
| We'll let you know more as the date arises. | ||
| And it looks like Blue Ridge just sold out. | ||
| Blue Ridge Rock Festival 2023 sold out! | ||
| We went last year, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Man, that was so much fun. | ||
| Really great. | ||
| Walking around at night in the mud. | ||
| We are lucky in that we were gifted industry passes. | ||
| Very lucky. | ||
| Because we're good friends with a rock star who happens to come on the show periodically. | ||
| The Jesus. | ||
| Well, I was talking about Phil. | ||
| Phil, All That Remains performed. | ||
| Yeah, that's the other thing we're talking about doing, too. | ||
| Hopefully, we can have it. | ||
| We can have this happen. | ||
| Fridays, we wanted to bring back music. | ||
| For a long time, we've been talking about it, doing a Friday jam session. | ||
| And I was asking Phil if he would want to do a cassette with All That Remains. | ||
| You know, we'll see, though. | ||
| So, it's up to him. | ||
| I was like, I got an excellent way to convince your bandmates to do it. | ||
| Money. | ||
| You know, money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then he was like, oh, yeah, that works. | |
| We'll see. | ||
| It'd be really cool to have, you know, him and maybe someone else perform and play some music. | ||
| Maybe even Adelita's Way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Man, those guys are good. | ||
| Really. | ||
| Trevor, dude. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where we at? | ||
| Dusty Firebird says I made a vertical version of the video and have the official iTunes and his socials in the description. | ||
| I ask all the commenters to buy the song. | ||
| Everybody gotta buy Richmond, North of Richmond. | ||
| And I hope that just more comes out of that. | ||
| I hope there's more breakthrough artists that are writing songs like this that are challenging the machine and speaking to the masses. | ||
| But more importantly, I hope that everyone buys that song. | ||
| I hope that you buy things you care about. | ||
| I hope you download Public Square onto your phone and use that app to buy from companies that share your values. | ||
| That's why we have a whole bunch of that Anthem jerky and carnivore snacks. | ||
| Because not only are they really good, but I'd rather give my money to people that are doing good things, that care about the future of this country. | ||
| I don't want to give my money to garbage companies. | ||
| Jason Hutchinson says, Creatives are the only ones that actually pay taxes. | ||
| Everyone else that acquires money through fake jobs that don't create anything anyone values or needs is just paying taxes looted from the creatives that produce things people value giving value to money. | ||
| I'm somewhat confused. | ||
| There are people who do work to make things, and then there are people who do weird fake jobs for money. | ||
| And it's always been the case. | ||
| There's also people that transport stuff. | ||
| Venezuela is a good example of a country with fake jobs. | ||
| They artificially regulate the existence of jobs by saying a cell phone store may not have a salesman sell the phone and get the phone from the back room to hand it to the customer. | ||
| So when you're buying a cell phone, I went to buy a cell phone in Venezuela. | ||
| There was like six people I had to talk to just to get the phone because the government mandates it, the regulation. | ||
| Wow, that's crazy. | ||
| To create jobs. | ||
| They create jobs by force. | ||
| Doesn't work. | ||
| Yeah, doesn't work. | ||
| It just makes everyone angry and crushes the economic system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| We'll grab some more. | ||
| Jason Dixon says, Trump just said he will turn himself in Thursday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I wouldn't be surprised if the judge goes, the deal for $200,000 bond? | ||
| Rejected! | ||
| Remand. | ||
| Bangs the gavel. | ||
| I'm not saying it will happen. | ||
| I'm saying I would not be surprised if I go, well, you know, there you go. | ||
| Just because the prosecution cut a deal on the bond does not mean the judge accepts it. | ||
| You guys ever watch Yellowstone? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That scene where the environmental activist cuts the deal and then Kevin Costner's like, don't take the deal. | ||
| And she's like, I'm going to take the deal. | ||
| And then as soon as she pleads guilty, the judge goes, you plead guilty? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I reject the deal. | ||
| 14 years. | ||
| Bang. | ||
| And she's like, what? | ||
| Because the prosecution was like, we want her to serve a year. | ||
| And then as soon as she pleads guilty, the judge can be like, no, I'll do whatever I want. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Too bad that show's getting cancelled, I really liked it. | ||
| I know, I'm sad about it. | ||
| Did it fail? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| Kevin Costner doesn't want to do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, well. | |
| So they're gonna do, uh, was it four sixes? | ||
| Four sixes I think they're gonna do, which they actually, the creator actually owns that ranch, which I think is hilarious. | ||
| And then isn't, uh, was it 19... One of their other ones, 1923. | ||
| 1923? | ||
| It still has a couple episodes to go, I think. | ||
| Yeah, but they're different shows. | ||
| Yellowstone was a really good show. | ||
| Yeah, it was awesome. | ||
| The funny thing is that, what do they call it, the corridor of death in Wyoming is real. | ||
| It's never been effectively tested other than a guy who killed a bull moose and got charged and then tried claiming there was no... No jurisdiction. | ||
| Well, there's no peers by which to have a constitutionally sound trial. | ||
| Yeah, there's no one to be a jury. | ||
| And then the federal courts were just like, try us. | ||
| And he was like, okay, okay, I'll take the deal. | ||
| And the deal was like, it's like slap on the wrist or see how far we're willing to take this one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I wouldn't try it. | ||
| Nick Bezos, I just finished Vivek's interview with Sean Ryan. | ||
| Oh, nice. | ||
| This one sold me. | ||
| I was gonna vote Trump, but I don't believe he'll step up if he gets in again. | ||
| Straight up, I think Vivek could change the world. | ||
| Oh, Sean Ryan's awesome. | ||
| Did you see the video of Vivek playing tennis? | ||
| Yeah, beast mode, dude. | ||
| I love this guy. | ||
| It's not a video of the game of tennis. | ||
| It's just Vivek with no shirt playing tennis and you can't see who he's playing against. | ||
| I just thought it was hilarious. | ||
| Man, he lays into that tennis ball too. | ||
| With a tennis grunt and all. | ||
| I thought it was funny. | ||
