U.S. Orders MILLIONS Of Smallpox Vaccines Amid Global Monkeypox Outbreak, Experts Say Remain Calm
U.S. Orders MILLIONS Of Smallpox Vaccines Amid Global Monkeypox Outbreak, Experts Say Remain Calm. So far seven different countries are reporting confirmed or potential monkeypox cases.
Monkeypox is very similar to smallpox and with the US having ordered so many vaccines many are wondering if the government knows something they aren't sharing.
Currently doctors and experts say there is nothing to worry about but still many believe in theories about Bill Gates due to his having warned about smallpox just a few months ago

has ordered millions of monkey pox and smallpox vaccines amid a global monkey pox outbreak.
Experts say it is rare to remain calm and it may not be that bad.
But the fact that they ordered millions of vaccines is kind of...
Worrying.
So let's pay attention to this one.
In our next story, Joe Biden has activated the Defense Production Act to help alleviate the baby formula crisis as gas prices skyrocket.
And we anticipate potentially 10 bucks a gallon in some areas.
In our next story, Josh Hawley destroys the Secretary of Energy for claiming Vladimir Putin is the
cause of rising gas prices. He goes on to list all the reasons that Joe Biden has caused the
spike in gas prices, and that gas may soon average $6 per gallon. If you like the show, give us a
good review, share the show with your friends. Now let's get into that first story. After
everything we went through with the COVID outbreak, forgive me if I'm a little bit skeptical or
questioning of the latest breaking news on monkeypox and the World Health Organization treaty.
the next video.
From PrecisionVaccinations.com, your premier destination for vaccination news certified by NewsGuard as credible.
13 million freeze dried monkeypox smallpox vaccines ordered.
My friends, have you seen the news about the potential monkeypox case in Massachusetts?
What about the news of 23 suspected cases in Spain?
I believe it's 23.
What about the 17 potential cases in Montreal?
Could we be facing the emergence of a monkeypox outbreak?
I certainly hope not.
Apparently it's possible to contract monkeypox through airborne respiration, through consuming bodily fluids of another person.
I know that sounds like it's not something you're likely to do, but it could be that somebody coughs or spits, and then you ingest something, and boom, y'all got monkeypox.
Now what is the treatment, or I should say the prevention method for monkeypox?
There's a lot of interesting questions that are emerging about this.
Apparently, let me just, I don't want to bear the lead here.
The JYNNEOS vaccine was approved by the US FDA in 2019.
So the vaccine they're ordering now, breaking news as of yesterday, was approved only a few years ago and now we're seeing monkeypox cases?
That's kind of crazy to me.
Now, I don't know what's going to happen.
I have no evidence of any malfeasance.
I just think considering what happened with the lockdowns, considering what happened with those Democratic governors straight up killing all those old people, you're going to have a lot of people who do not trust what is going on.
And while this outbreak is occurring, There is a World Health Organization treaty in which many conservatives are concerned, mostly conservatives, I'd say anybody who actually followed the news would be concerned, that this would create some kind of international control over the US government and its response to future pandemics.
Now, I don't think that's all bad, actually.
We have a fact check over at TimCast.com from Brett McDonald saying, it's not as crazy as people think.
By all means, criticize the World Health Organization Treaty.
Mostly, the treaty will not give any enforcement powers to the World Health Organization.
But I think it's important to point out that it could result in international issues for the United States if they don't adhere to international agreements.
That is to say, Well, the World Health Organization may not be able to directly enforce anything in this country.
You may see a bunch of countries being like, if you don't play ball with us, we cut you out.
No more trade deals, no more oil, no food, no imports, no exports.
Maybe that's the plan.
The U.S.
has not been particularly good at manufacturing things as of late.
So, if you want to entertain this treaty from the World Health Organization, hey man, I got no issue, right?
So long as the U.S.
takes care of itself, secures its borders, starts producing more energy, starts manufacturing back at home.
But if that's not happening, then this World Health Organization treaty could actually be an issue.
But let's take a look at what's happening with a bunch of different news stories.
One, we've got the vaccine being ordered.
Interestingly, this vaccine was ordered right around the time news is breaking about a monkeypox case, potentially Massachusetts.
We'll talk about what monkeypox is.
Basically smallpox.
Yikes, man.
And then we got a story about Bill Gates.
Because the conspiracy theory now is that Bill Gates has done it!
Okay, dude.
I'm not a big proponent of any of this stuff.
I think Bill Gates is a bad guy.
I think he's dumb.
I don't think he's like... What I mean by dumb is... I think he's... I think he's dastardly.
I think he's a smart guy who's been able to run a successful business.
You'd be stupid to think the guy was not smart.
But when I say dumb, what I mean to say is, I'm just being derogatory.
I mean, I think the guy doesn't understand what his plan will bring about.
What he hath wrought on this world.
When he talks about reducing population, when he talks about misinformation, things like that.
I think Elon Musk is actually more on point in his positions.
We need more people, we need more development, we need more science, we need more free speech.
Let's go through all the news though.
It is true that Bill Gates warned of weaponized smallpox attacks.
Now monkeypox?
A very similar disease which uses the same vaccine?
Hmm.
We have the story from Precision Vaccines—vaccination, sorry.

Here's the story from Precision Vaccinations.
First, 13 million freeze-dried monkeypox smallpox vaccines ordered.
Denmark-based Bavarian Nordic AS announced today that the U.S.
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, BARDA, exercised the first options under an existing contract to supply a freeze-dried version of the Jynneos smallpox vaccine.
Yo, what?
The first doses of this vaccine version will be manufactured and invoiced in 2023 and 2024.
Okay, full stop.
Get out of cities.
That's the only thing I can say.
I'm so glad I'm in the middle of nowhere.
Everybody can stay out of my house.
I'm locking the door.
No, I'm kidding.
They'll probably come and weld our doors shut once we get taken over by Communist China.
No, no, no, I'm kidding again.
I'm kidding again.
We can't be scared.
We have to be cautious.
You know, I've been washing my hands.
I took COVID seriously enough.
I think we went over the top with a lot of these policies, and it was really bad for us in the long run.
It damaged our supply chain.
But right now, as we're talking about gas shortages, gas prices, food shortages, and this is happening, I hope you are all paying attention to all of these things that are happening.
It does not mean the world is ending.
It just means, do not be surprised if you can't get food anymore at some point.
I'm not saying you won't be able to, I'm just saying don't be surprised by it.
They say, if exercised, additional options on the bar to contract support the conversion of up to a total of approximately 13 million freeze-dried doses of Jynneo's smallpox vaccine that are expected to be manufactured in 2024 and 2025.
The majority of the bulk vaccine for these doses have already been manufactured.
They've already been manufactured.
They already made the vaccine.
Okay.
No serious question.
Smallpox has not been a concern for some time.
Why did they already manufacture the bulk of a 13 million vaccine order?
Okay, I don't know.
I don't have any answers.
A supplement to the existing liquid-frozen JYNNEOS U.S.
FDA BLA will be made comprising Phase 3 clinical study data, which has already been completed and reported, together with the manufacturing data to support the approval of the freeze-dried version of JYNNEOS in 2024.
Paul Chaplin, President and CEO of Bavarian Nordic, commented in today's press release, We are pleased to announce the exercise of the first options under our contract with the U.S.
government to deliver a freeze-dried version of the smallpox vaccine with an improved shelf life.
which will be manufactured at our new fill and finish facility. This marks a significant
milestone in our longstanding partnership with the US government to ensure availability of
life-saving vaccines for the entire population. JYNNEOS is based on a live attenuated vaccinia
virus, modified vaccinia anchora MVABN, incapable of replicating in the human body, yet able to
elicit a potent immune response. To protect people from monkeypox, the JYNNEOS vaccine was approved
by the US FDA in 2019. JYNNEOS imvimune or imvinex was approved by the European Medicines Agency in
2013 and is indicated for preventing smallpox and monkeypox disease in adults.
Additional monkeypox outbreaks news is posted at Vax Before Travel.
I always say, whenever it comes to stuff like this, talk to your doctor.
Don't take advice from internet commentators, that's for sure.
But I also want to mention, this is very, very different from COVID.

My understanding, it's more of a traditional vaccine, meaning you get a weakened virus
in your system, then your body targets it, destroys it, and boom, you got immunity.
And if you actually get the non-attenuated virus, your body knows how to attack and destroy
Which is all around a good thing.
Plus, this was FDA approved in 2019, so this is not a rush.
This is not experimental or whatever people are saying about other vaccines.
Take it all into consideration.
Talk to your doctor about what's right for you.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
As monkeypox cases emerge in U.S.
and Europe, Bavarian Nordic Inc.' 's vaccine order.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You may be saying, but Tim, you already told us that we ordered vaccines.
No, no, no, no, no.
Bavarian Nordic has secured a contract with an unnamed European country to supply its smallpox vaccine called Imvanex in Europe.
Im-va-nex.
In response to the emergence of monkeypox cases, the Danish company said Thursday.
Yo, the US and an unnamed country in Europe have ordered millions of smallpox vaccines.
Maybe they know something I don't, I have no idea.
But let's talk about what Monkey Pox is, first and foremost.
I will highlight, in the Wikipedia entry for Monkey Pox, I don't wanna actually, I'm gonna avoid showing actual monkey pox, cause I don't think people would appreciate that.
It's like, causes blisters, bumps, and nasty stuff.
Yeah, okay.
The prevention right here is smallpox vaccine.
Medication is Sidafavir, a brand named Vistidia, is an injectable antiviral medication primarily as a treatment for cytomegalovirus, retinitis, in people with AIDS.
The monkey pox virus causes the disease in both humans and animals.
It was first identified by Preben Von Magnus in 1958 as a pathogen of crab-eating macaque monkeys being used as laboratory animals when two outbreaks of a smallpox-like disease occurred in colonies of monkeys.
So it's not that monkeys caused it or anything like that, it was just in the lab monkeys, they say.
Humans can be infected by an animal via a bite, or by direct contact with an infected animal's bodily fluids.
The virus can also spread from human to human by respiratory airborne contact, or by contact with an infected person's bodily fluids.
Risk factors for transmission include sharing a bed or room, using the same utensils as an infected person, and increased transmission risk is associated with factors involving the introduction of virus to the oral mucosa.
The incubation period is 10 to 14 days.
Prodromal symptoms include swelling of lymph nodes, muscle pain, headache, and fever prior to the emergence of rash.
The rash is usually only present on the trunk, but may spread to the palms and soles of the feet in a centrifugal distribution.
The initial macular lesions exhibit a papular, then vesicular, and pustular appearance.
Vaccination against smallpox is assumed to provide protections against human monkeypox infection because they are closely related viruses and the vaccine protects animals from experimental lethal monkeypox challenges.
This has not been conclusively demonstrated in humans because routine smallpox vaccination was discontinued following the eradication of smallpox.
So let me just say that they ordered in 2019, they approved the smallpox vaccine and ordered this When we eradicated smallpox, I just, I just, I'm sorry.
I just, I find it to be strange.
I really do.
Cause it's like, there's no smallpox anymore.
Okay.
Let's invest millions of dollars in making smallpox vaccine.
Why?
Well, Bill Gates did warn us about this.
No joke.
I think, I think it's funny that everybody's going to point the finger at Bill Gates and be like, this proves malfeasance or nefarious actions when he actually may have helped you.
Not that I like the guy, or trust him.
Bill Gates warns of smallpox terror attacks as he seeks research funds.
Bill Gates warned that bioterror could be a bigger threat than naturally occurring epidemics.
Let's entertain, from a point of ignorance, what this could be.
Now, we don't know what Bill Gates is doing, but he is somebody who's talked about reducing population.
There's too many people, he says.
Alright.
Now, I don't know what he's doing behind the scenes, but he says he's warned in November of smallpox terror attacks.
Let's just say he was right.
What if Bill Gates is just a smart fella?
And he was like, I really think there's going to be a smallpox outbreak at some point because of terror.
And then we were all like, haha, you're so dumb, Bill Gates.
And now we have monkeypox.
And he's like, it's a good thing I thought this.
He may have just gotten his prediction right.
Now I really think, I'm sorry guys, I gotta say, a lot of people want to go the conspiracy theory route, as much as I think this guy's got really bad ideas, and he's kind of just an all-around bad person, as I often say, Occam's razor.
Okay, two things.
Never assume malice for which, when it could be... Oh man, I just ruined Hanlon's razor.
Never attribute to malice that which could be explained by incompetence.
So in this instance, we don't know that Bill Gates is, you know, malicious in any of this stuff.
He might just be bad at what he does and he has bad ideas.
What if he's just right about smallpox?
I believe it is more likely that Bill Gates is just right about smallpox than he's secretly working behind the scenes to actually infect people.
Not saying I trust the guy.
In reality, I don't know what he's doing behind the scenes.
But there is a question of this.
And now I'm going to trigger all of the blue checky fact checkers.
When someone buys an insurance policy against fire on their home, and then there's never been a fire there, and then shortly after the home starts on fire, we don't always just accuse them of starting the fire, but we do investigate.
I think that's the funny thing.
You know, people might come out and be like, Bill Gates was just right about this.
Okay, maybe.
I think that's the more likely outcome.
But as I stated, if someone comes out and says, I think we need an insurance policy against smallpox, you go, okay, I guess.
I mean, we eradicated smallpox, and then a couple years later, there's monkeypox.
I'd just be like, hey, wait a minute.
Hold on there a minute.
Let's take a look at what's going on in these labs.
But I don't know for sure.
And that's the big challenge.
Everyone's gonna tell you you're a conspiracy theorist or whatever.
It's like, well, you know, we should investigate the origins of monkeypox and do it legitimately.
Because, ladies and gentlemen, here we go.
From CNN.
Oh, you gotta love CNN.
CDC and Massachusetts health officials investigating monkeypox case.
Okay.
They say, the case of Monkeypox was confirmed in a man in Massachusetts who had recently traveled to Canada, state health officials announced earlier in the day.
The patient is hospitalized in stable condition at Massachusetts General Hospital, but Dr. Paul Biddinger, the chief preparedness and continuity officer at Mass General Brigham, Said during a news briefing, the patient has been in an airborne infection isolation room since last Thursday.
The patient, fortunately, is doing quite well now, although did have symptoms that require hospitalization.
Bittinger said they are not sure how the patient was infected, but emphasized that, historically, this has been a very rare disease with very rare transmission around the world.
What we have seen in the UK, in Spain, and Europe has been novel, and that gives us cause for concern, but I think, appropriately, people should not be afraid of monkeypox right now.
He said the current patient is of no public health risk, adding people should be aware of symptoms but not be afraid.
Excellent point.
I completely agree with that.
Look, it could spread, maybe.
They're getting smallpax vaccines.
It could be independent of anything like this.
And this guy's in the hospital.
But pay attention.
Seriously.
It's been novel before, but my friends, yo, something's going on.
Let's just put it that way.
From globalnews.ca.
Strong possibility of 17 monkeypox cases in Montreal area, health officials say.
May 19th.
I'm sure glad to be in rural West Virginia right now, but we do have a lot of guests who come in and out.
So we'll spritz everybody with some disinfectant.
Make them wear masks from now on.
I'm kidding.
But you see where this goes.
People are now going to say, just wear the mask.
We don't want monkeypox.
It's so much worse than, say, COVID.
I wonder if we can pull up the... I didn't pull this up earlier, but I'm curious about the mortality rate.
Epidemiology says Monkeypox, as a disease in humans, was first detected as an illness, formerly Zaire, Congo, blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda, whose surveillance between 81 and 86 recorded 338 confirmed cases and 33 deaths.
Case fatality rate 9.8%.
A second outbreak of human illness was identified in DRC Zaire, 96, 97.
And what did they say?
Bah, bah, bah, bah.
The Congo Basin clade of disease remains endemic in DRC and has a high case fatality rate.
They say, the other genetic clade of MPXV occurs in Western Africa.
The case fatality rate is less than 1%.
No human-to-human transmission was documented until the 2022 monkeypox outbreak in Europe.
The WA clade had an outbreak, first outbreak of monkeypox outside of Africa, blah, blah, blah.
So it looks like we've seen less than 1% to upwards of 9.8%.
to upwards of nine point eight percent. And what we're seeing now, the twenty twenty two
monkey pox outbreak is novel and scary. And Wikipedia now has an entry for it with
thirty three confirmed cases as of April twenty ninth, twenty twenty two.
My friends, gas shortage, food shortage, international war, inflation, rising prices, hyperinflation, blah, blah, blah, and monkey pox!
It's amazing, isn't it?
I hope y'all are paying attention.
I can say it a million times.
I don't know what will be the wake-up call.
Take a look at this.
Wikipedia.
Human monkeypox is a viral infection caused by the monkeypox virus, a relative of now-eradicated smallpox.
Generally presents with similar symptoms to smallpox, although usually milder.
However, the case fatality rate for monkeypox may still be as high as 10%!
All of our principles may be tested, my friends.
They say monkeypox is endemic to West and Central Africa.
Prior to the 2022 outbreak, the UK had only recorded seven previous cases, all of which were imported from Africa.
First three cases were in 2018, followed by a further case in 2019.
This may explain why we ordered the vaccines.
We saw the case and said, how do we deal with this?
Let's order vaccines.
The only major monkeypox outbreak to be recorded in a Western country prior to 2022 was the 03 outbreak in the United States.
However, it did not feature community transmission.
Monkeypox is spread primarily through close contact with infectious individuals.
Prior to the 2022 outbreak, it was not considered to be sexually transmitted.
However, the rapid spread of the virus between partners in its initial stages of the outbreak has prompted discussion that intercourse may be a further route of transmission.
Okay man, check this out.
In the UK, 9 confirmed cases.
In Spain, 7 confirmed cases.
22 suspected cases.
In Portugal, 14 confirmed.
The US, 1 confirmed.
Sweden, 1 confirmed.
Italy, 1 confirmed.
In Canada, 13 confirmed.
And this is as of May 18th.
The latest is 17 potential cases.
So we've got new information.
Take a look at this one.
Four new cases of monkeypox reported in the UK.
They say in May 18th, Portugal investigating 20 further cases.
The same day, Spain, with eight suspected cases.
The numbers are going up.
Now, this was eight cases in men who enjoy the company of men, to put it in a family-friendly way.
The Guardian reports Spain, 23 people are now showing symptoms.
I remember, beginning of the year, 2020, when we got reports about COVID.
And we reported on it early.
We said something strange is going on in China.
Now we're seeing reports in multiple countries.
What are we going to do about this?
Let me ask you this question.
Comment below.
Comment wherever you can.
What if we... 15 days to slow the spread.
We can't do it.
We've already got baby formula shortages.
We can't do it.
The crazy thing right now is that our overreaction to COVID may be our doom.
Think about it.
If monkeypox really is already beyond our control, if the incubation period is 10 to 14 days, similar to COVID, and they've isolated these cases, certainly these people have already had contact with others.
Certainly many more people may currently be infected, may currently be spreading the virus.
And if you came out now and said, let's take 15 days to slow the spread, everyone would say, bite me.
Not gonna happen.
Okay, but hold on.
MonkeyBox is very, very different from COVID.
I mean, dude, if MonkeyBox is really spreading.
When we were talking on IRL about lockdowns, Ian brought up that we might need the lockdowns, and it's not authoritarian.
And I said, you know, COVID, I don't believe warrants these hard lockdowns.
He says, what if it was Ebola?
What if there was an airborne Ebola?
Would you then call for these lockdowns?
And I said, to be fair, I think the degree to which we are scared of the virus results in how many people are willing to support the lockdowns.
With COVID, you had mostly elderly people and people concerned for the elderly saying, shut her down.
You had young people being like, no, because we weren't scared.
If it was airborne Ebola, we'd all be very scared.
We'd probably all be like, lock it down!
If it's airborne monkeypox rapidly spreading, we're all gonna be like, shut it down.
Except for the fact that we've already destroyed our ability to do so.
In which case, I'm saying the COVID lockdowns may be our doom.
Why?
By shutting down for COVID.
And now even Bill Gates is coming up being like, it's not as bad as we thought!
M'kay Bill.
We crippled our economy, we destroyed the supply chain, and now we have no reserves left.
That freight train, the figurative freight train of the economy was just stopped and the whole thing flips up in the air.
Now, facing a real serious crisis, if monkeypox is spreading with a potential 10% mortality rate, we're talking about nearly a billion deaths globally if this really did spread.
I'm not saying it will.
We can't shut down now because we don't got any food or gas left!
Which means, if we shut down to avert a long fall from the spread of monkeypox, with a 10% mortality rate, worst case scenario, we're gonna face what kind of mortality from not having food, water, or fuel?
The overreaction to COVID has put us in serious harm.
Hey, I take responsibility on some of that stuff.
I'm not a genius.
I'm not a prophet.
I try to do my due diligence, but I don't get everything right.
I respect people who get things wrong when they did their due diligence to try and understand, because we don't have to be right.
But I respect the research.
If monkeypox does spread, We've screwed ourselves.
When COVID was spreading, I thought the mortality rate was gonna be really high.
I was like, hey, maybe we take a couple weeks.
And then they turned a couple weeks into months, into years.
How will we handle another outbreak like this?
This is crazy.
23 potential cases.
I hope this is a one-off, but already, I gotta say, it's not looking good.
The government ordering all of these vaccines.
Look, They don't want to panic.
So they're not going to come out and say, we're worried about this.
They're going to come out and be like, nah, don't worry about it.
Come on guys, keep working, keep doing your thing.
But I don't know if we could actually handle it.
Because of what we did with COVID.
Rare and unusual monkeypox cases are causing a global concern.
We got this from USA Today.
We have monkeypox, oh I love this one, my friends.
Monkeypox's spread boosts shares of vaccine manufacturer.
Well.
I know people who invested in some of these big vaccine companies, pharmaceuticals, and boy did they get rich!
Because those no-bid, no-liability contracts are money in a bank!
Just saying.
Not giving financial advice.
I love it.
Fact check.
Did Bill Gates predict the monkeypox outbreak?
I'm just going to jump down to their determination.
What does Newsweek say?
What's your ruling?
Mostly false.
While Bill Gates has spoken previously about the potential threat of smallpox bioterror, the way his comments have been shared has led to a misleading idea that he predicted this outbreak.
That's not confidence building.
Bill Gates still did warn about this.
Good for him, I guess.
As it stands, only a very small number of monkeypox cases have been reported globally.
The risk of catching it, public health officials say, is very small.
That's not confidence building.
Bill Gates still did warn about this.
Good for him, I guess.
But what could the response be?
Let's pull up a commentary piece from Brett McDonald over at TimCast.com.
I think it's an excellent piece.
He makes excellent points, and we'll have the discussion now.
Fact check.
Has the U.S.
offered to cede sovereignty to the World Health Organization?
Even if the new proposals are implemented, the World Health Organization is not granted power over its member states and cannot force them to act in a certain way.
Okay.
In this tweet from NewsNancy, Quote, this is the biggest global power grab that we've seen in our lifetimes.
Upcoming vote in Geneva over Biden administration's amendments that cede U.S.
sovereignty to the World Health Organization over anything they deem a healthcare emergency.
Let's break this down.
High-profile figures like Rick Scott, former rep Michelle Bachman, and former Trump strategist Bannon have made startling claim about a proposal the U.S.
has sent to the World Health Organization.
That proposal, which some Republicans call a threat to American sovereignty, outlined several line-item amendments to the international health regulations that govern international emergencies.
The purpose of those changes is to allow nations to better deal with situations like COVID-19 and the pandemic.
While many people are saying this could result in a loss of sovereignty, Brett says, In any case, the WHO is not granted power within the territory of its member states.
It cannot force states to take action or overrule their decisions to not act in a certain way, as it already could.
It can still offer recommendations to those states and disclose information to other states about the potential for an international health emergency.
These proposals have been characterized as handing U.S.
sovereignty over to CCP-controlled who.
However, it's possible that if implemented years ago, the world would have been notified about the potential for a COVID-19 pandemic more quickly.
For instance, China would have been obligated to explain why they were quarantining certain planes, and who would have been permitted to declare a potential threat.
Issues like whether travel restrictions were fair to implement would have been much clearer as well.
So what exactly do the amendments say, and what are they trying to address and prevent?
I want to pause real quick.
With respect to the fact check from Brett, who does an excellent job, mind you, he's fantastic.
He's right, he is.
But there are some points to be made.
It's not always about the dotted line.
It's sometimes about how this manifests in terms of soft power.
If every nation in the world signs on to an agreement, sure, they can't enforce anything in the United States.
What they can do, however, is have every other nation say, if you deviate, we will stop doing business with you.
In which case, you may maintain your sovereignty over there in the corner without fuel or supplies because you don't manufacture anything anymore.
You see, therein lies the problem.
I think the solution to this, for the most part, is the U.S.
needs to bring about a resurgence of U.S.-made products and fuel.
They go on to mention, you know, a lot of proposed changes to various articles.
I'm not going to go through the entirety of the bill, but I'll just read, you know, the conclusion.
Oh, there's no real conclusion, it just breaks down all the different articles.
They say, um, the striking of not and until such time might appear at first glance to substantially alter the meaning of the paragraph, blah blah blah.
Anyway, I digress.
I'm a little bit in the middle in terms of where the fact check is from Brett.
It is commentary on a fact check.
I think that's very important because commentary means opinion.
And it's true to the line.
It's true to the text.
But my issue here is I personally don't think this discounts the concerns of people like Steve Bannon or otherwise.
Having international treaties in these regards puts pressure on a country to align with these other nations.
That was the goal of the International Space Station to a certain degree.
That because we had these treaties, we had to negotiate properly.
But look what happens.
The International Space Station has, you know, China, US, Russia, other countries.
I think mostly those three, right?
When the conflict erupts between Ukraine and Russia, basically the U.S.
and Russia, we see that we're just like, okay, we're not working together on this anymore.
A lot of people thought that by working together on the space station, it would prevent war.
The more ties we had, the less likely war would be to break out.
Instead, when war breaks out, the U.S.
doesn't just do what Russia wants.
Russia doesn't just do what the U.S.
wants.
They just sever ties.
So it's possible.
That no matter what happens to this treaty, you can still get conflict.
I don't think this guarantees anything or guarantees a power grab, but it does.
It is a grain of sand in that heap.
I think if we were to make moves on things like this, you eventually would cede U.S.
sovereignty.
So, here's my point.
Does this treaty do it outright?
No.
Does it do it peripherally?
Yes.
Will it contribute to a greater loss of sovereignty?
Yes.
Those are the important points.
The TPP, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Trump shut it down.
Everybody was worried that this would result in global control of foreign countries disrupting the U.S., and absolutely it would.
Was it overtly in there?
Sort of.
The issue is, if you have one treaty with the World Health Organization, you can look at it and go, ah, it's not so bad.
And then when you have nine more, you're like, now our hands are cuffed.
That's the issue.
The issue that I see.
My friends, I don't know if monkeypox is coming to get ya.
But I certainly hope that you pay attention to the possibility.
And when the government, various governments, are ordering monkeypox, smallpox vaccines, Bill Gates has warned about smallpox, and now we are seeing monkeypox, maybe somebody knows something.
It doesn't mean it's a conspiracy.
It could just mean that behind the scenes, they're not telling you everything, and they're worried about something.
That could be the case.
At any rate, I hope you are all safe.
I hope you're all active and paying attention to the news, sharing videos like this.
We're not going to have any shows tomorrow because we have an important business meeting.
And normally I won't take off for anything, but this one actually is fairly important.
Gonna be talking with some big players.
I'm half kidding, but you know, having conversations about infrastructure, big tech, and some important stuff is happening, so we gotta catch a flight.
Next segment's coming up tonight at 8 p.m.
over at youtube.com slash TimCastIRL.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
President Biden has invoked the Defense Production Act and announced Operation Fly Formula to address baby formula shortage.
President Joe Biden has invoked the act to address the nationwide shortage of baby formula he announced on Wednesday.
It's getting bad out there, ladies and gentlemen.
It's not just the baby formula stuff.
It's also gas prices.
We have another story, this one from a couple days ago from Post Millennial.
Washington gas stations run out of gas.
Add extra digit in anticipation of $10 gas prices.
Now, Joe Biden invoking the Defense Production Act, I say, okay, good, I guess.
We want to produce more baby formula, get it back on those shelves and make sure that people are able to get it for their babies.
Otherwise, I'm telling you, man, we are in dangerous territory.
We also have this other story.
They tried passing this bill, and it was called like the, what was it, the Helping Babies Bill or something.
I'm exaggerating, but something like that.
And a bunch of Republicans voted no on it.
And I think they voted no for an obvious reason.
It was a bill to expand government power to supersede state requirements in terms of production if the federal government determines there's an emergency.
Now, of course, the media is saying, these heartless Republicans don't want babies to eat!
Yeah, no, that's not it.
The bill just grants more power to the federal government.
Thomas Massey had a tweet.
I don't know if it was about this one, but he said, if we just voted based on the names of the bill, I'd vote for them a whole lot more often.
Let me explain one thing.
I will say, good job, Joe Biden, invoking the Defense Production Act.
Maybe there are things that we could have done better to make sure baby formula didn't run out.
Maybe it's Joe Biden's fault in the first place.
Maybe it's the Democrats, whatever.
You know, if they dug us a hole and fell into it, and now they're like, don't worry, I'll get us out, I'm like, correct the mistake you've made.
But at least for now I can say, probably a good move.
We see revolutions, we see civil wars, when people can't get access to food.
But it's not just about what people, the individual, can't get access to, it's when they can't feed their kids.
Rest assured, and most of you probably know it because I assume many of you have children, What would you be willing to do to make sure your child ate?
Would you just sit and watch as your child starved?
No, I'd imagine you would not.
And if it gets to the point where there's no formula, people will probably try, you know, warm milk or goat's milk or they'll try and make their own formula or things like that.
No.
I've heard that... I don't know what you should feed a baby.
I've heard people say you shouldn't give them cow's milk or goat's milk or anything like that.
Back in the day, we had wet nurses.
And there are probably a lot of women who overproduce in terms of breast milk.
They sell it or they distribute it or they donate it.
But we got a lot of people.
And we got a lot of babies.
And, uh, if people can't feed those babies, they are going to do whatever it takes to get food.
To get formula for those kids.
When people can't feed themselves, they get agitated, they get angry, they get stressed out.
When people can't feed their babies, whew!
We are in revolutionary territory.
You know that many on the left are eager and excited for some kind of revolution, but when we are talking about people can't feed their kids, this is the precipice of complete instability.
People who can't feed their kids, the people will risk their lives.
People will risk prison.
People will sacrifice you for their kids.
I'm telling you, man, war exists for a reason.
The story from TimCast.com says the shortage came amid a supply chain crisis and temporary closure of Abbott Laboratories facility in Sturgis, Michigan, where Similac products are produced.
Biden announced the efforts in a tweet saying, I'm taking two steps to increase baby formula supply.
Invoking the Defense Production Act to increase domestic production.
Launching Operation Fly Formula to use federal planes to fly formula in from abroad.
We're making sure safe formula gets to all who need it.
I can only say, good job, good job.
I am not going to sit here and just rag on the president for any other issues.
I'm going to say, thank you for taking some action right now.
I'm sure the last thing a parent who is stressed about their baby wants to worry about is, was it Joe Biden's economic policies?
I'm not going to say, you should vote for the man.
I'm not going to say, we should be supporting Democrats.
I'm going to say, in this instance, right now, please get formula to parents.
Credit for that.
That's it.
Now I can go on and talk about everything else.
We can talk about how bad things are starting to get and how we are entering, come on guys, civil war, revolutionary territory, call it whatever you want, instability, destabilization of this country, fine.
The reason I would say civil war is because you have two large factions that are at each other's throats, figuratively, and when you add into the mix, if it was just gas prices and food shortages, I'd say instability and revolution.
But when you have two worldviews clashing, multicultural democracy, constitutional republic, credit to Stephen Marsh for that one, the writer of the book The Next Civil War, I think we are dangerously close to... Take a look at this from the Postmillennial a couple days ago.
Washington gas stations run out of gas, add extra digit in anticipation of $10 prices.
When the gas gets to $10, That doesn't mean, oh no, I won't be able to drive my car.
That means there's not gonna be food at the grocery store.
Post Millennial says a spokesperson at 76 confirmed to the Post Millennial that the gas pumps were reprogrammed to allocate for double digit pricing.
Yo!
This is gonna get lit!
Gas stations across the U.S.
are running out of fuel, and in anticipation of an increase in gas prices, gas stations in the state of Washington are reportedly reprogramming pumps to include double-digit numbers in price per gallon, as the current trend could put prices over $10.
I'm not doing a promo, but I just want to mention, okay, we do, I do the promos for safeandreadymeals.com periodically.
I'm not pulling it up.
It's weird because I mention it, but I'm just highlighting.
The people who have prepared for this, good on you, the people who bought Baby Formula in advance, smart.
I talked about this a year ago, and so I will say, as much as I can give Biden credit for some of these things, because we just want people to get food, you know, just get it done.
How is it that a year after, dude on internet says, hey look, there's going to be food shortages coming.
They're now like, oh, about that.
I saw a really funny meme.
Jen Psaki, before she left, she was like, no one could have predicted this inflation.
And this guy was like, yo, the guy who drains the porta potties at my work predicted this.
We've all predicted it.
So I suppose as long as you're someone who's been paying attention, you've taken preparation.
You've picked up emergency food, water, you've prepared for whatever this means.
At the 76 gas station in Auburn, Washington, located at 1725 Auburn Way North, gas pumps have been reprogrammed to make room for double-digit pricing.
In March, they still had single-digit programming.
Look at this!
There's a zero in front of the five.
It says 0-5-0-9.
Yo, we're gonna get $10 a gallon gas.
This is gonna be brutal.
The economy is gonna implode.
Done.
I don't care if you're rich or poor or whatever, you are going to feel the sting.
Now, fortunately, those of us who have electric cars don't have to worry too much about it.
I made the joke.
I love this going on.
We like to hear.
We like to hear these environmental activists, or I should say the leftists, say things like, if you can't tip, you shouldn't go out to eat.
And men should have thought about contraception before getting the woman pregnant, stuff like that.
And I'm like, I posted on a Facebook comment about gas prices.
I said, if you can't afford an electric car, then you can't afford to drive.
And all of these, like, poor working class leftists are just like, I can't afford an electric car.
And I said, then you can't afford to drive.
I was like, you don't get to destroy the planet with carbon emissions, pumping out gas and supporting Exxon and oil spills, and then say, oh, but I'm allowed.
And then they were like, electric cars are too expensive.
I said, a Tesla only costs $60,000.
You get the joke.
I know they can't afford that, but it's just mind-numbing to me that you have people who make 30 or so thousand dollars a year being like, we need to shut down gas pumps and end oil leases and then gas skyrockets.
I'm like, it's not fair!
Why is gas so expensive?
And then I'm just like, dude, you don't get to argue for shutting down Keystone, for shutting down oil leases, for shutting down oil leases in the Gulf.
Saying, it's better for the environment.
And then when you can't drive anywhere, and your food skyrockets in cost, and there's no baby formula, be like, why is this happening?
I went off yesterday on the members-only segment of TeamCastIRL.
I feel bad.
I should.
I was swearing.
I was very condescending.
It was rude.
And I apologized.
And I was like, you know, I got triggered on this war question.
Because, you know, we were talking with a group, a big crew.
We had Libby.
We had Elad Eliyahu.
And Elad's great.
I just got so triggered on the war stuff.
We were talking about war.
But what really frustrates me, what really grinds my gears, are the people who are so sure, just they know what should be done to solve our problems, when they literally have no idea what they're talking about.
I don't take strong moral positions on a lot of issues, because I don't know enough.
You know, so I often say, like, man, the abortion question's so tough, I just don't have the answers.
I really, really don't.
And so I try to refrain from being involved in the direct conflict, because I don't want to contribute to destruction or problems for people.
I mean, I have my opinions on certain things, but they're very tepid half the time, like, very moderate, because I'm like, I don't have all the information, I don't know what I'm supposed to say.
So when I hear people talk about, here's what we must do, and then I say, okay, that's interesting.
How do you think that would, when they say things like, we gotta shut down these oil pipelines, and I'm like, okay, how do you think that would affect gas prices?
What do you mean?
How do you think shutting down gas, the gas pipelines, the oil pipelines, how do you think that'll affect inflation, food, gas?
It won't, it'll just stop the spills.
And I'm like, dude, They ship oil on tankers and through freight.
There are still oil spills.
There's more.
The pipeline isn't changing any of that.
It's just making it more expensive and making it more expensive for you.
But the petroleum companies have record profits.
Yeah, that's true.
But you're talking about record profits that if you were to break down and distribute across all of the gas pumps to lower the cost, it would be lowering it by a few cents.
Probably a good thing, I guess.
But then, I mean, I'm not going to sit here and defend gas companies with record profits.
But how much are we really going to save if you distribute like five billion dollars across, you know, hundreds of thousands of gas pumps?
Are we going to see the price go down by like two cents?
I suppose it's better than nothing.
So I'm not interested in seeing these big gas companies get billions of dollars, but you're not really answering the question of how we alleviate these problems because that's not going to change much.
People don't have answers.
When they say things like, you know, we should move over to electric cars, if everyone got an electric car, I'm like, how are you going to generate the electricity for those electric cars?
Oh, you mean it's natural gas that we use to spin those turbines to then generate the electricity for our Teslas?
It's just insane, man.
Greta Thunberg is like, how dare you?
unidentified
I don't want to see the stopping of fossil fuels in 2030 or by 2022.
Do you know what would happen to the planet if we shut down fossil fuels just right now?
I think within, you know, a week, 60 million dead.
I'm not exaggerating.
First, all the diabetics die because they need refrigeration for insulin.
Then you're gonna see food prices just through the roof.
Yeah, I think we as humans are addicted to fossil fuels because we've been built into this system.
We've created humans and life and civilization with this access, but there are alternatives.
It's called nuclear power!
And I believe nuclear power has a higher energy return on energy invested than oil with no carbon emissions.
You just make it, you sit it there, and boom, there you go, energy coming out for days.
It's brilliant, actually.
and then we've got to develop technologies and advance this.
Plus, I would say let's heavily invest in fusion research. I believe we've hit an ignition
with fusion. We've got to the point where we can create, you know, fusion is created. Now we're
trying to figure out how to tap that energy source. Right now we need more energy in than we're
getting out. That's not functional, and we can't do that. Once we get to the point where we get
more energy out than in, then you're getting energy generation, which is a good
thing.
The real issue is, like, I think it's simple, like, fusion has created a vibration, and now we need to extract the energy from the vibration or something, and then we're good.
I'm not an energy expert.
You guys can probably comment and explain better.
But let me just go back to that thought.
When you have people who are sitting there and they're like, I think we should do this policy, and you're like, what will that policy do?
And they're like, I don't know.
It will make less carbon!
It's like, okay.
And then when you can't eat, what?
I don't understand why it is that conservatives tend to be the ones who have asked these questions, even deep moral and philosophical questions.
So, for instance, it was, I believe, Jeremy Boring who said, outside of the human experience, nothing matters.
And he's completely correct.
It's a philosophical question.
People don't understand that because they don't seem to realize they live in a human experience.
What that means is, if all the humans are dead, will any of this matter?
The point is, everything we want and desire is rooted in the human experience, and we mostly care about how it affects other humans.
Now, some people are concerned about animals, but there will be no concern for animals if there are no humans.
You get the point.
It's still all rooted in a human perspective and human experience.
I believe that we must be good stewards of this earth.
I believe we better start cleaning things up.
I believe we better start fixing a lot of these problems.
You betcha.
But I also agree with the conservative view on the human experience.
This idea that we're gonna be like, the dolphin experience matters to us.
No, it doesn't.
But we certainly, in my opinion, should not be polluting and destroying the Earth and causing extinction events.
We need, for one, to be good stewards of the Earth, but mostly because it sustains us.
Because humans don't exist without the ecosystem, the environment, and, you know, the cycles of life.
But I feel like many on the left are just They don't know what they're voting for.
They don't care.
And they're gonna burn the whole thing down.
I suppose the only thing you can really say is like...
Knowing what they do and how they do it, knowing that they lack information and basic understanding of more complex concepts, and at the very least are willing to follow people who are evil, lying, or otherwise, start preparing to protect yourself.
Do what you have to do to make sure that you will survive the potential catastrophes that come our way.
I had a great conversation with a progressive on Monday.
I keep referencing it this past week because He didn't understand philosophical or hypothetical.
He didn't know there's a difference.
He said, you keep bringing up these philosophical conversations.
I don't believe in hypotheticals.
And I'm like, that's that's two different things.
But they don't understand this.
I'm sure not everybody does.
And I'm sure there's a serious challenge.
And maybe if I just produced third grade reading level content, I might have a much bigger audience.
We were talking about deontology versus utilitarianism.
And I'm not going to pretend to be a philosophical philosopher or a master or anything.
No, I've just read the basic concepts to explain simple ideas.
Deontology being the idea that immoral acts cannot be taken even if it's against one person for any reason.
And utilitarian is the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
That is to say, maximizing good justifies the Doing harm to others, like the trolley problem.
I can pull a lever that will kill a person if it saves five.
Most people take the deontological approach, which is I will not take an action to kill that one person, even if it means five people die, because you killed that person.
But if someone doesn't understand moral and ethical philosophy, how do we survive this?
When they're like, we should have the government give everyone free money, and you're like, it doesn't work that way!
That is not how the machine runs!
And they're like, I don't care, and then they pour sand into the gas tank, and you're like, no!
And then the car just breaks.
It's like, why did you put sand in the gas tank?
I don't know.
It's like somebody sees someone pouring a clear liquid into the gas tank and they're like, that must be water.
And then you're like, no, it's not water, it's gasoline.
And they're like, I think it's water.
And you're like, no, it's gasoline.
And they're like, I vote we pour water in the gas tank and then we can drive.
And then they pour water in and the car breaks down and you're like, why are these people doing this?
Why won't they listen?
Why are they so arrogant?
Why the hubris?
You know what I would do?
You wanna know what I would do?
If I saw someone pouring a liquid in the car, I'd say, what are you pouring in the car?
And they'd say, it's gasoline.
I would say, whatever you say, boss.
Far be it from me to assert I know something I have no experience in.
Don't get me wrong, I probably do that on many occasions, duh.
I just try not to.
I'm willing to defer.
I'm willing to say things like, you know what, I don't know enough about guns.
And so when I went and got educated on guns, I was like, wow, my position's changed.
I am now staunchly pro-2A.
The moment I went out and started asking questions, I said, hey, all those arguments on the left don't make sense.
I bring you now to the, oh man, this is it.
Here are the nine Republicans who voted against a bill to help poor families buy baby formula amid the ongoing shortage.
Lie!
Lie!
They're lying.
That's not what the bill did.
The bill would not make it easier for families to buy formula.
The bill allowed the federal government to come in.
Look at this, congress.gov doesn't even have the text, but I pulled it up from GovTrack.
The bill gives the Secretary of Agriculture the ability to supersede state qualified administrative requirements if there's an emergency.
That will not give anybody baby formula right now!
It's so dumb.
HR 7791.
Okay.
They go on to say, many Republicans crossed party lines to vote for HR 7791, the Access to Baby Formula Act.
It's like, we've proposed a bill that will expand the government's powers to supersede the state's requirements for the production of goods.
And then you're like, how will that get baby formula to kids?
It won't.
And then the media is like, these Republicans don't want babies to eat.
Thomas Massie, big fan.
He said, Someone pointed out, Massie was the lone no vote.
Yeah, well, I trust Thomas Massie.
Almost all of them here here good sir.
Someone pointed out bill to condemn anti semitism has passed for 20 to one.
Massey was the lone no vote yet.
Well I trust Thomas Massey.
There was a during the pandemic.
I actually criticized him.
I absolutely did.
Because I believe the issue was, he was voting against the emergency funding bill in the face of the pandemic.
And now, on hindsight, I realize how wrong I was.
Massey was right!
For one, we should not have shut everything down.
Boy, in hindsight, were we all wrong.
But we thought, I thought, in good faith, it would be 15 days.
You see the problem?
You see the problem with people asserting things when they don't know?
I can fully recognize that.
I try.
I'm not perfect, okay?
So, you know, I will say, to a certain degree, I believe it's fair for me to criticize, though, those who would push for things when they don't fully understand them.
But I suppose it's basically everybody.
It's just frustrating when there's a huge gap.
I understand that everybody knows everything.
I understand maybe even Thomas Massey is wrong and I get things wrong.
That's not what I mean to say.
What I mean to say is, when someone's like, I have no idea what a gas pipeline is, and I'm like, then why did you vote to shut it down?
It's more fair if someone says, I understand how gas pipelines work, I understand the economic principles, here's my thought process.
And then someone else can come in and say, here's the information you're missing, and they go, ah.
In good faith, with good faith research, I tried to make a decision.
When you see these stories, I suppose it's a degree to which you are lacking knowledge.
I suppose what I should really say is, I respect your efforts.
So long as you took, you completed your due diligence to understand.
Like you tried to understand.
I always try to understand.
Sometimes I get things wrong.
There are many people who don't try to understand who just say, do it!
The Business Insider saying, nine Republicans voted against a bill to help poor families buy baby formula.
Just shut up.
That is not what the bill says.
They didn't do any of their due diligence to understand what they're talking about.
That's the issue I take with this.
All day, every day.
The bill, quite simply, it says, notwithstanding any other provision or law during an emergency, the Secretary may modify or waive any qualified administrative requirement for one or more state agencies if the qualified administrative state requirement cannot be met by state agencies during any portion of the emergency period, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, maybe it's not a bad bill.
I don't know, I'm just saying.
The issue is not, we must get food to babies.
The issue is, the federal government should be able to supersede state requirements.
Okay, maybe that's a good bill.
I'm not saying it's not.
I'm not issuing a moral statement on it.
I'm just saying the media is lying because they don't Google search these things.
They don't give you an honest analysis.
The way they framed it, this should be an op-ed.
But you know what?
I'm not the smartest person in the room.
I'm not the smartest person ever.
I get things wrong.
I'm just recognizing too many people assert things without knowing anything or at least trying.
I do it.
I get things wrong again, but my point is try your best.
Admit when you're wrong.
I'll do it.
I try my best to understand these things.
When people present me with information, I'll admit I was wrong.
Seamus, shout out to Freedom Tunes, because he told me like a month ago that abortion was the intentional killing of the baby, and I said, no, no, no, that's not what we're talking about.
We're talking about instances where the pregnancy has to be terminated, and he said I was wrong.
Upon looking at actual federal law, and state law, yes.
It is, maybe his definition was a bit more on the extreme end, but he's more right than I was.
And that is to say, I realized that by looking up the definition of how the CDC tracks abortion, it is action taken to terminate a pregnancy that does not result in a live birth.
It's like, oh, okay.
And that could mean in some instances that I was right, but for the most part, if you are talking about terminating a pregnancy, post-viability, you are typically saying you take action that ends the life of the baby.
And I went, oh, So, I would put it this way.
There are some instances where I probably would have been right, but for the most part, when we're talking about the bills in question, they're actually talking about action taken to end the life of the baby.
So I'll admit, you know, I think Seamus was closer to correct on that one, and it's because there's a legal argument in what this really means.
But I believe, you know, I believe Seamus was actually more correct.
But anyway, I digress.
Here we are.
With the ramifications from these individuals who don't read.
Alright.
I suppose things will get worse.
I think things are getting better in a lot of ways.
Don't get me wrong.
Free speech, for instance.
Maybe things will turn around.
Go vote in your primaries.
I'll leave it there.
Next segment is coming up at 1 p.m.
on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out.
We won't be doing any shows tomorrow because I have an important business meeting I have to fly out.
So tomorrow is a day off, but for the rest of the day we'll operate as normal.
We'll see you all at 1 p.m.
Thanks for hanging out.
Thanks for hanging out.
Speaking to the Secretary of Energy, Josh Hawley was questioning why it is that gasoline has skyrocketed so much.
The Secretary of Energy says, well, Vladimir Putin and to which Josh Hawley snaps and says, no, these are the policies of Joe Biden.
He goes on to list many of the policies.
Re-enter the Paris Climate Accord, cancel the Keystone Pipeline, halted leasing programs in Anwar, issued a 60-day halt on all new oil and gas leases and drilling permits on federal lands and waters, imposing new regulations.
He goes on.
Josh Hawley points out that just over a year ago, gas in his state was like two bucks.
Now it's like 4.
Experts are warning by August, gasoline will average $6 per gallon.
Some gas stations are already out of fuel.
The Postmillennial reported, as I did in a previous segment, that some gas stations have added an extra digit to their price charts in anticipation of $10 per gallon plus.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are headed towards a major catastrophe.
Now the United States may be okay, because we're particularly wealthy.
Okay does not mean good.
Hardship is coming your way.
Sri Lanka.
Basically out of food, basically out of fuel.
So things have turned violent.
People are fighting and rioting.
They don't know what else to do.
I don't believe that rioting is going to secure food for any of the starving people, but a starving person will do whatever it takes to eat.
And yes, I hate to break it to you, but there could come a point.
I'm not saying it will, I'm not saying it's probable, but I'm saying it is possible.
Humans will eat other humans.
Do I think we're at that point?
No, no, no, no, no.
I don't know about Sri Lanka.
I mean, starving people might do crazy things.
I think the U.S.
is very far from anything like that.
I'm just saying, if it ever really got to that point of complete economic collapse and supply chain disorder to the point it could not recover, starving people will resort to crazy things.
They'll be eating rats and rabbits and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Obviously, cannibalism would be the last thing they'd do, but I'm just saying, dude, people who are crazy, who are desperate, let me rephrase it, people who are desperate and dying, they go crazy.
What was that story of, what was it, the Donner Party?
That's the story of the people who, like, were in the wilderness and then just, like, were running out of food so they ate each other or something like that?
Yo.
I don't know, man.
To be real, I don't know if I'd ever resort to something like that.
But perhaps we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Right now we're just talking about high gas prices.
Okay, okay, okay.
Maybe a stretch too far.
But looking at what's happening.
Looking at Sri Lankans running out of fuel and water.
Sri Lanka down to last day of petrol two days ago!
Yo, man.
I certainly hope some relief can come, but I think partly, um, it's possible this is, it's a man-made catastrophe.
There are news articles that are saying it is a man-made catastrophe, that the practices in farming and distribution and things like that are the cause.
I'm saying, I think, greedy people, ideologically driven people, conflict and crisis, people fighting, I mean you can call it Putin's war, you can call it failed policy, it is our own doing.
The Economist warns, the coming food catastrophe.
War is tipping a fragile world towards mass hunger.
Fixing that is everyone's business.
What a cool little piece of art.
unidentified
Sheaths of wheat, but they're skulls instead of groats.
Okay, all right, I'll give you that one, except that I think there's still some groats on it.
Or seeds, or whatever they're called.
I think they're called groats, right?
Anyway, I want to show you this.
Watching Josh Hawley rip to shreds the Secretary of Energy for pushing these Biden administration lies about the problems we are facing.
It just felt so good.
This is Abigail Marrone.
Who is Josh Hawley's press secretary for Hawley out of Missouri.
And when he goes into it, he gets into it, man.
Before we get started though, we're gonna do a sponsor spot whenever we talk about this stuff.
Head over to safeandreadymeals.com.
Pick up your emergency food supply today.
Delivery could take, I don't know how long delivery is, maybe like a week or a couple weeks, but I would recommend, if you're serious about this stuff, getting emergency food now.
Again, safeandreadymeals.com.
This is a sponsor spot.
Buying from safeandreadymeals.com does help support the work we do here, the show, and all of that stuff.
But in all seriousness, this is a legit product.
I only do shoutouts for this stuff when there's stories like this.
Let me show you.
We're not Sri Lanka, okay?
We're not.
Last day of petrol.
People think that we live in this future utopia and everything's going to be fine.
Many people don't even remember where they put it.
How often do you really use it?
But you have emergency medical supplies, right?
Why wouldn't you have emergency food or water?
Considering what's happening now with the Biden administration, what's happening now with inflation, gas prices, shortages, fuel going upwards of $10 a gallon, I think it's a good time to make sure you've got just some emergency supplies.
Look, you buy the stuff one time, you put it in your closet, you forget about it.
Four weeks is not a long time.
Buying a four-week supply, you're not a prepper.
Sorry, the preppers got way more and they're laughing right now.
But sometimes it rains.
Sometimes roads get shut down.
We've had many people reach out and say, hey Tim, thanks for shouting this out.
You know, they mentioned on TimCast.io, they were like, we had a power outage and this, you know, we couldn't get to the store, so we cracked these things open and we were good and we knew we didn't have to worry because we had, you know, between the two of us, a couple weeks of food.
And I'm like, there you go, man.
Just have some emergency supplies.
My attitude is mostly this.
Personal responsibility, first and foremost.
When it hits the fan, and it might, it might not, okay?
But it looks like we're getting dangerously close.
Do you want to be asking the government for help?
Or do you want to sit back and be like, guys, we've got a plan for the next three months because we bought this ahead of time.
Not everybody can afford it, I know.
I'm just saying, do what you can.
Safeandreadymeals.com.
Again, it's a sponsored spot.
They don't tell me what to say.
They just, you know, tell me to shout it out.
But I genuinely believe and stand by everything I said.
We've got a decent amount here.
I always say that.
And then everyone says, Tim, don't tell people you have emergency supplies.
Whatever, dude.
We've got emergency supplies because we take it seriously.
Let me play for you this clip of Josh Hawley grilling the Secretary of Energy on the lies.
With all due respect, Madam Secretary, that's utter nonsense.
In January of 2021, the average gas price in my state was $2.07.
Eight months later, eight months later, long before Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, that price was up over 30%, and it has been going up consistently since.
What are you doing to reverse this administration's policies that are drawing down our own supply of energy in this country that are throttling oil and gas production in the United States of America?
What are you doing about it?
unidentified
I suspect, sir, it is not administration policies that have affected supply and demand.
Wow. Bravo. Josh Hawley said it better than I ever could.
And that's why he's the politician.
That's why I would not want to be involved in this stuff.
But I talk about that all the time.
Look, you see what happens when you run out of food and fuel.
What's happening in Sri Lanka is bad.
The Economist is warning of all of this stuff.
Take a look at this.
Experts warn we could see a national average of $6 a gallon by August.
Your bank account will be gutted.
That's why I'm sorry, man.
You know, I mentioned this the other day when we were talking about war.
If you go check out the TimCast IRL members-only show at TimCast.com, you will see me acting particularly untoward, and I apologize for cussing and insulting.
It was not one of my finer moments.
And, you know, so I'm having a conversation with Libby, Seamus, Elad, and Elad is very much going in favor of war, saying that we're defending democracy.
I just lost it, man.
I lost it.
I was rude.
I was insulting.
But I got to tell you, man, this is the reason why.
This is the reason why.
They blame Vladimir Putin when clearly, as Josh Hawley points out, the problems we are facing are not Putin.
I want to be fair.
It's not just Putin.
Putin, of course, is playing a role in this.
But the cost of gas was going up well before this.
Joe Biden's policies, his executive orders, his policies, they precipitated all of this.
So when people are like, we should be involved in Ukraine to the tune of $60 billion.
Okay, sorry, $54 billion with American mercenaries and volunteers on the ground.
It's just absolutely sickening.
This idea that we should be sourcing energy for Europe instead of Building out the infrastructure here, on our own lands, clearing the way for energy companies to produce, to utilize places like Alaska, which we have, and to develop nuclear energy.
Instead, we get nothing.
And I can't even count on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Green New Deal.
Because instead of proposing X amount of dollars towards wind turbines for energy production, we get Free healthcare for marginalized communities and getting rid of planes and farting cows!
Now, those were in the FAQ, not the actual resolution.
But the actual resolution was, like, college for marginalized communities.
And when I talk to progressives, I'm like, what does that have to do with geothermal energy?
I am sick of the lunatics Who are proposing we send billions of dollars to Ukraine, a country that is not an ally, that is not a NATO member, that is not an EU member state, all because Europe needs cheaper fuel.
Ah, yes, we need cheaper fuel, great.
Good for you, Europe!
We gotta offset that Gazprom natural gas monopoly, the costs are too high.
Here in the United States, we need our own fuel.
I don't understand what the logic is by us sending our labor, our tax dollars overseas to the tune of $54 billion.
And you know what they say?
They say by the U.S.
giving out this money, it ensures that the petrodollar remains safe and that, you know, other countries will be using the dollar, which means we get more control in oil.
Yo, how about this?
It's called energy independence.
You think I don't know about these things?
I have read much.
I don't know everything.
There's probably classified information.
I'm sure there's some, you know, CIA guy who's sitting back saying, if only you knew, Tim, if only you knew the truth.
Maybe that's the case.
Okay, fair point.
I can only operate off of public information.
And the information that I have collected so far says we need domestic production.
Not a president who's gonna be like, I'm gonna shut it down.
Makes no sense.
Not a progressive wing that's like, we could do wind turbines, but we want free college instead.
Green New Deal.
So I lost it, man.
I am sick of the America last policies.
I am not a staunch nationalist.
I am not America one and only.
No, I believe in international trade.
I am not an isolationist.
These are all the slurs they say because, you know, Seamus put it well.
He was like, am I a shut-in if I don't want to walk out of my house, go to my neighbor's house and punch him in the face?
No, of course not.
You're not a shut-in because of that.
These people who want war, they say, you're an isolationist!
How about I'm a... We have a baby food shortage.
We have limited manufacturing because we've given it all away.
We don't make our own medicines, our own vitamins.
And now, when the crisis hits, it's like, oh, help, help, what do we do?
I can't stand it.
That is the Democrats wrapped up in a nutshell.
See me, I'm like...
Emergency food.
I should be responsible for myself to the best of my abilities.
We do want to be responsible to our community.
Like, meaning, you know, we'll help them when we can, but you got to secure your own oxygen mask before securing the mask of those next to you.
We want to pay attention to what's going on in the world.
But why are we involving ourselves in Ukraine?
Ah, yes.
Joe Biden, Burisma, the Cutter Turkey Pipeline, the Deep State, whatever.
Instead of making ourselves self-reliant and instead of preparing for this catastrophe, Joe Biden and Democrats gut the system and burn it all to the ground.
But six, I'll tell you one thing, six dollars a gallon gas in August means one thing.
Republicans will sweep.
No, I don't know for sure.
There's a lot of variables at play.
Who knows what'll happen, but I'm just, I'm looking at $6 a gallon and I am just, I can't believe, I mean, let's pull up AAA right here.
Look at this.
Right now, the highest gas has ever been $4.59 per gallon as of today.
New milestone.
Absolutely incredible.
In California, Nevada, in Oregon, in Washington, gas is over $6.
Oh, I'm sorry, it's $4.82, $6.
In some parts of California, we've already seen $7 a gallon, upwards of almost $8 a gallon.
And some gas stations, they've added that little zero in front of the first number, because they're like, oh, we're gonna need double-digit gas prices.
It's incredible, man.
The nerve of these people to come out and be like, actually, actually, it's Vladimir Putin, and I'm just, I'm just sick of it.
They're doing that because they're psychopathic warmongers.
That's really it.
Psychopathic warmongers.
If the U.S.
did not get involved in Ukraine, there would be no war.
The Russians would have walked in and it would have been over.
NATO got involved because in Europe, you know, I just love the idea.
Europe's just like, we need cheap gas.
America, spend your money for us.
Because that's what we are.
We're the world police.
Our labor, our hard work, for everyone else.
Not for ourselves.
I've been around the world.
I know a decent amount.
I don't know everything.
I've researched this to the best of my abilities.
I know I'm critical of those who don't do any research, and perhaps I get a lot wrong here.
My understanding is the petrodollar makes us wealthy.
It's good for us.
My understanding is that our imperialism, or whatever you want to call it, boots on the ground in all these different countries, now in Somalia, make us strong, expand our influence, and we are competing with China.
I am just not that person.
Now, there's a good point that Ilad made the last time we talked.
He said he doesn't want to live in a multipolar world.
He wants to live in a unipolar world, which means he doesn't like the idea that China and the U.S.
compete.
He likes the idea that the U.S.
dominates everything.
I get it.
I am of the attitude that you don't get that with the barrel of a gun.
I think the U.S.
has sacrificed its credibility with failed interventions, and the U.S.
could embolden its credibility, especially following World War II and the Cold War, by soft power, which we've done in a lot of ways.
But then, when we lose, the United States is a tepid tantrum and sends in the troops!
Oh man, did you see, uh, I don't know if I have it pulled up.
Oh, I do, I do, I do.
Here we go.
From TimCast.com, George W. Bush draws laughs from the crowd after condemning Putin for brutal invasion of Iraq.
I mean, of Ukraine.
It was glorious.
George W. Bush.
Where's the quote?
The decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq.
We have a problem in this country of neocon neolib elites who are pro-war and would take your money and give it away.
And for what?
I get it.
They're just wrong.
They think, as I mentioned, when we give Pakistan $12 million for gender studies, they will use our money, and that's good for us.
But it's not.
It's just stupid.
You are giving away American labor for free, you are driving up inflation, and then when gas hits $6 a gallon, your $15-an-hour job ain't gonna cut it.
And the progressives say, we need a living wage!
Now we're seeing McDonald's and other restaurants offer $20 an hour.
Did I say a gallon?
$15 an hour.
$20 an hour.
And now, and then what?
I hear from these progressives, the government should just print money.
The government doesn't just print money.
It's not exactly how it works.
That's what they think.
They think it's just like, turn on the printer and money comes out.
Money is issued upon the creation of debt.
So it's mostly digital.
But anyway, that's less relevant.
The point is, these progressives think you can money printer go burr, and that's it.
They don't realize that means hyperinflation, and the economy will stumble and collapse, and we've seen it over and over again.
And when you bring up Venezuela, the response you get is, well, the U.S.
did that with the... Oh yeah, and every other country with hyperinflation.
The U.S., you know, the reason Weimar Germany had hyperinflation was because the U.S.
went back in time!
Please.
When governments lose control of their economies and think printing their way out of debt is the only solution, it's gone.
It is just gone.
You are going to see a collapse.
Bravo to Josh Hawley, man.
That was absolutely epic, dude.
Him saying, with all due respect, that is utter nonsense.
The cost of gas has been going up from January of 2021 to August, well before Putin's invasion.
They're using it as cover.
They're using it to cover up their mistakes, and they're using it to justify our money being sent overseas for war.
I'm just so tired of these people, man.
I can't wait.
I just can't.
I just can't.
I'm excited for them to just get out.
So we'll see.
I'm willing to bet the progressives will carry on the legacy of the warmonger class because the squad voted in favor of this military package.
