0:15

Now, let's get into the news. Last

0:17

night, news broke that China had

0:19

prepared military drills to surround the

0:21

island nation of Taiwan. Now, for

0:23

those that aren't familiar, Taiwan claims

0:25

to be the official government of

0:27

China, but of course there was

0:29

this thing called the communist revolution and

0:32

the actual government of China was forced

0:34

onto the island of Taiwan. Since then,

0:36

it's been a standoff. The

0:38

Chinese Communist Party wants to reunify,

0:40

they call it, and of course

0:43

Taiwan resists. The U.S. is

0:45

aligned with Taiwan and is actively defending

0:47

Taiwan. And we have here in this image

0:50

breaking news from this morning. It's

0:52

an alleged image of Taiwanese

0:54

Coast Guard ship near the Chinese

0:57

naval ship during the Chinese PLA

0:59

drills around Taiwan at the moment.

1:02

And there is concern this could

1:04

escalate into full-scale conflict at any

1:06

moment. But to be fair, my

1:08

friends, I think this could literally

1:11

escalate into full-scale conflict at

1:13

any moment, regardless of whether or not

1:15

China is doing drills. It's just, well,

1:19

they're getting closer and closer to that conflict

1:21

erupting. China of course has

1:23

been flying jets in and around, you

1:25

know, over Taiwan. I don't know

1:27

about over, but in their airspace. And

1:30

of course this has had many on edge as

1:33

if Taiwan, if

1:35

they are to fight back,

1:38

push back, actually engage

1:40

in a physical confrontation with China, the

1:43

U.S. would likely get involved. And

1:45

there is no doubt that is

1:48

World War III. Now, depending

1:50

on which source you read, we're already in

1:52

World War III, I guess. And I got to tell you, man,

1:54

I don't know. Have we had a

1:56

shot and her around the world moment? Perhaps not. The

1:59

Iranian president and the foreign minister died

2:01

in a helicopter crash and

2:03

nobody knows exactly what happened but the

2:06

the general accepted story is foggy

2:08

day that's right one

2:10

month after Iran fired missiles

2:13

and hit Israel it

2:16

foggy day helicopter crash there's

2:18

some speculation that there was internal

2:20

strife within Iran and it's

2:22

actually the Iranians who took out the president because they

2:24

considered him weak we don't know if any of that

2:27

is true Israel has

2:29

denied involvement now I don't

2:31

know that this actually escalates into any kind of

2:33

World War three but I will say this

2:36

Joe Biden ain't on the ballot in Ohio I'm

2:39

gonna I want to let that one stew for a

2:41

little bit Joe Biden is

2:44

not on the ballot in Ohio I don't know

2:46

why they say

2:48

it's because the Democrats put their convention

2:51

too far out so you you

2:53

have 90 90 days before the

2:56

election you have to be on the ballot but the

2:58

convention for nominating the or

3:00

was it you have to yes I'm like that the

3:03

convention is 75 days from the election so

3:05

Biden's not even the nominee so

3:08

they're not putting them on the ballot now

3:10

a lot of people have said look it's a non-story they're

3:12

gonna do something something will happen yes but what does that

3:14

mean it means that right

3:16

now Democrats don't have Biden

3:19

on the ballot and if

3:21

they are to enact some kind of special maneuver

3:23

to do it people

3:26

are gonna call it cheating they're gonna say you broke

3:28

the rules now the

3:30

reason why I bring that up not to get

3:32

into domestic policy issues on a foreign policy

3:34

segment I bring it up because it seems

3:37

strange doesn't it but

3:40

perhaps there's one reason why it doesn't matter if Joe Biden's

3:42

on the ballot or not and it's

3:44

that World War three is here yeah

3:47

I don't know what that means maybe Biden

3:50

pulls a Zelensky and says we can't have

3:52

elections Zelensky of Ukraine

3:54

is now officially a dictator

3:57

that's just true you know They

4:00

were supposed to have elections in Ukraine. They didn't. Zelensky

4:02

said, no, no, no, we can't have elections right now. We're at war.

4:05

The argument from Democrats and those who support Ukraine

4:07

is how could they have an election with the Don

4:09

Bass under the control of the

4:11

Russians? It's

4:14

a good point, but I will

4:16

stress there was an election

4:18

during the American Civil War. Chase Geyser brought that

4:20

up. That's right. The Confederate

4:22

States seceded from the Union, and in 1864, in

4:25

the Civil War, we still had in the United

4:27

States an election for which Abraham Lincoln died. For

4:29

which Abraham Lincoln won a second term.

4:33

Right now, we've got the

4:35

potential for this escalation. Not only

4:37

do we have China surrounding Taiwan,

4:40

Taiwan on the verge of confrontation,

4:42

but Russia has engaged in tactical

4:44

nuclear drills, which

4:47

I fear greatly. I've

4:50

said for a long time, if need

4:52

be, Russia will use nuclear weapons. Because

4:55

people seem to think that a nuclear weapon

4:58

is an ICBM that blows up a major

5:00

city. They don't understand that there

5:02

are lower yield battlefield nukes

5:05

that could be used, and

5:07

Russia is not going to allow the US

5:09

to press upon its borders. So

5:13

maybe we are in World War III. Maybe it's

5:15

about to begin. The

5:17

Hill. Take a look at this story from

5:19

The Hill. Biden is losing World

5:21

War III. Man,

5:24

I just want to tell you. Reading

5:27

history about how wars

5:29

get named – the Great War, for instance,

5:31

World War, things like that, the

5:33

Civil War. So obviously, I've read a

5:35

lot about the Civil War, right? And

5:37

the fascinating thing is they didn't call it a Civil War for

5:39

a little while. That means they were in

5:41

the Civil War, and they didn't call it that. Some

5:44

called it a rebellion. Eventually,

5:47

it was called the War Between States,

5:50

and then eventually a Civil War.

5:52

It was a few years in, they called it a

5:54

Civil War. One thing I'd like

5:56

to point out, the

5:58

Battle of Fort Sumter is considered a war between states. to be the beginning of

6:00

the Civil War. Yet,

6:04

the first battle of Bull Run, Manassas, people

6:07

did not believe a civil war could happen,

6:09

so they showed up to picnic, as

6:12

the legend goes. So

6:14

historically, we recognize these people

6:17

were already in the Civil War when

6:19

they sat down to picnic and watch a massacre.

6:24

They didn't know, but

6:26

history tells otherwise. Right

6:28

now, we are beginning

6:30

to see the likes of media say

6:33

World War III is happening. There's

6:35

been mutterings from news outlets where they say, prominent

6:38

individual says we're in World War III. Ukraine

6:40

says we're in World War III. We've

6:42

got all these stories. World War III is imminent.

6:46

I don't think we're going to know exactly when we're in World War III. We're

6:48

not. It'll just be one day

6:51

people are going to be like, I think this is

6:53

World War III. Historically,

6:55

they'll then write, the

6:58

start of this was insert moment.

7:02

Let's read the news. I'll tell you where we're currently at. China

7:05

punishes Taiwan. Huge military

7:07

drills are launched around the island three

7:09

days after the island's new president, detested

7:12

by Beijing, took charge. Beijing

7:14

said the menacing war games, dubbed

7:16

Joint Sword 2024, were

7:19

a strong punishment for Taiwan following the

7:21

inauguration of its new president, Lai Qing

7:25

who is detested in Beijing as a separatist.

7:27

China claims Taiwan is part of its

7:30

national territory in the People's Liberation Army,

7:32

routinely sends navy ships and war planes

7:34

into the Taiwan Strait and other areas around

7:37

the island to wear down Taiwan's defenses and

7:39

seek to intimidate its people. But

7:42

this week's war games are massive in scale. The

7:44

PLA released a map of the

7:47

intended exercise area, which completely surrounds

7:49

Taiwan's main island, concentrating major firepower

7:52

at five key points, as

7:54

well as places like Matsu and Kinmen, outlying

7:57

islands that are closer to the Chinese mainland

7:59

than Taiwan. Taiwan. China's

8:02

Coast Guard also said it

8:04

organized a fleet to carry out law

8:06

enforcement drills near two islands close to

8:08

Taiwanese controlled island groups of

8:10

Kinmen and Matsu off the Chinese

8:12

coast. They come up

8:14

to the island's swore-in President Lai who

8:17

said in his inaugural speech on Monday

8:19

that Taiwan must demonstrate our resolution to

8:22

defend our nation. China

8:24

denounced Lai's speech as

8:26

a confession of independence. You

8:29

know what makes me... I don't

8:31

know enough about China or Taiwan but

8:34

I can certainly tell you. The

8:36

Republic of China established I believe

8:39

it was like 1912. It was the

8:41

end of... I don't

8:43

know that timeline. I think the Republic of China

8:45

came right after the Qing dynasty or the

8:47

Qing dynasty. I don't know. Don't know about

8:50

Chinese history and to

8:53

this day the Republic of China stands. It

8:56

does. When the

8:58

Communists took over, there

9:00

was a revolution. They forced the

9:02

government of the Republic of China to the island

9:04

of Taiwan. The government

9:06

there wanted to regroup and

9:09

then storm the mainland and reclaim

9:11

mainland China. They were unable to

9:13

do so. Since 1949

9:15

until this day that

9:18

conflict has not stopped.

9:20

Here's what I want to see. I

9:23

want to see the Chinese Communist Party destroyed,

9:27

evaporated, dissolved. I

9:31

want to see the Republic of China restored. Peace,

9:33

liberty, freedom, a true Republic

9:36

brought back to the mainland China. I don't

9:40

know that we'll see that happen in our lifetimes perhaps.

9:43

Maybe China, the Communist Party, presses

9:45

it with Taiwan. Sparks World War

9:48

III formally. The U.S.

9:50

intervenes. The Chinese Communist Party

9:52

loses and the

9:54

U.S. with the and the U.S.

9:56

assistance helps reinstall the Republic

9:58

of China as the government in

10:00

the mainland. Maybe. But

10:03

China is just too entrenched and too powerful at this point.

10:07

I don't know that anything could change. And we don't even say... it's

10:11

just China now. And it's China

10:13

and Taiwan, despite the fact

10:15

that the Republic of China is

10:17

the official government's name in Taiwan.

10:21

It's really sad to read the stuff. Like

10:23

when international bodies began to recognize

10:25

the Chinese Communist Party as the

10:27

true government of China, when

10:30

they decided that they would no longer listen

10:32

to the Republic of China, it's fascinating. It's

10:35

kind of like you're a member of a club and then someone,

10:37

you know, you're in a car club, someone steals your car and they're like, you're

10:39

out of the club? Do you don't got a car anymore? And

10:41

you're like, but we're friends, we hang out every day. It's

10:43

like your car's gone. You lost

10:45

your car. Can't hang out with us anymore. Here's

10:49

where we're at. This image showing

10:52

what appears to be a Taiwanese Coast

10:55

Guard ship near a Chinese naval ship

10:57

is a bit worrisome. China,

11:00

during their large-scale military drill

11:02

around Taiwan, China warns Taiwan independence

11:04

advocates of heads broken and blood

11:07

flowing. This is the latest news coming out

11:09

this morning. US

11:11

will be sending an unofficial delegation

11:14

as Taiwan's president is sworn in. It'll test

11:16

ties with China. And then we

11:18

have this. Russia

11:20

begins nuclear drills and

11:23

apparent warning to the West

11:25

over Ukraine. Oh boy. Take a look at

11:27

this image right here. Russia's military Tuesday

11:29

began drills involving tactical nuclear weapons

11:32

that were announced by Russian authorities earlier this

11:34

month and an apparent warning to senior Western

11:36

officials who had spoken about

11:38

the possibility of deeper involvement in the

11:40

so-called special military operation in Ukraine. It

11:43

was the first time Russia has

11:45

publicly announced drills involving tactical nuclear

11:47

weapons. Although its

11:49

strategic nuclear forces regularly hold exercises,

11:53

according to a statement by the Defense Ministry

11:55

released Tuesday, the first stage

11:57

of the new drills envisioned, practical training.

12:00

in the preparation and use of non-strategic

12:02

nuclear weapons. I

12:04

hate these terms, strategic and

12:06

tactical. Okay? It's

12:09

just silly. They're all nuclear weapons. They

12:12

do draw a distinction. Strategic nuclear

12:14

weapons typically refer to when the

12:16

U.S. – that's the

12:18

mutually assured destruction. Should the

12:20

U.S. fire Zannukes, then

12:22

the idea is that Russia fires Zannukes back.

12:26

Tactical nuclear weapons are – they're going to

12:28

pull in some trucks, they're going to launch

12:30

some nuclear artillery and they're going to blow

12:32

up large portions of cities and they're

12:35

going to take the battlefield. I think

12:37

it will happen. If

12:41

the West presses on Russia – on Russia, and

12:43

Russia has no choice, they will use Zannukes. Now,

12:46

Russia's winning. So, whatever

12:48

I guess. Ukraine's

12:50

forces are diminished. They're drafting

12:53

women. First,

12:55

they drafted older people in their

12:57

50s, now women. The

13:00

U.S. is unwilling and incapable of sending boots

13:02

on the ground, but Macron of France has

13:04

threatened to deploy NATO forces

13:06

into Ukraine. World

13:09

War III, baby, if that happens. Considering

13:11

they're refusing to back down, then

13:14

we can call this what? International

13:16

strife? The idea that

13:19

the West has said we will not stop and

13:22

Russia has said neither will we and we'll

13:24

use Zannukes suggests. We're

13:28

on a collision course. It's a game of chicken. Now,

13:32

it's entirely possible someone surrenders and

13:34

war doesn't happen. But

13:36

this is a game of chicken, okay? The

13:38

West and Russia – and it's not

13:40

just Russia, it's bricks – are speeding

13:42

towards each other, neither

13:45

refusing – neither willing to

13:47

back down. I

13:49

love this headline from the Hill. Biden is

13:51

losing World War III. What? You

13:53

mean we're already in World War III? And

13:56

we're losing? Oh, come on,

13:58

man. I don't want to hear that. The

14:00

Hill opinion piece says, President

14:03

Joe Biden has become the James Buchanan of the 21st

14:05

century. You know, I was thinking that Buchanan,

14:08

the nation's 15th president, widely

14:11

considered history's worst, sought

14:13

to mollify everyone. Yet in the end,

14:15

please no one. I don't really blame

14:17

Buchanan because the country was falling apart.

14:19

I feel bad for the guy. Jimmy

14:22

Carter was pretty bad. Woodrow Wilson

14:24

was pretty bad. The country was

14:27

falling apart well before Buchanan. Everybody's always

14:29

ragging on Buchanan. They do say

14:31

that historically that he was like, tepid

14:35

and weak-willed, fine. More

14:38

than a century and a half later, the world

14:40

is devolving into a global ideological World War III.

14:43

Russia, China, and their proxies are

14:46

actively attacking U.S. interests. Yet Biden's

14:48

national security strategy remains rooted in

14:50

fighting something less than two simultaneous

14:52

or overlapping major conflicts, according

14:57

to a January Congressional Research Service

14:59

report entitled, Great Power

15:01

Competition, Implications for Defense. The

15:04

report notes that in 2018, the

15:06

Trump administration was confronted with an Obama-era

15:08

decision of building a force not around

15:11

the demands of two regional conflicts with

15:13

rogue states, but

15:15

around the requirements of winning a

15:17

high-intensity conflict with a single top-tier

15:20

competitor, a war with China over Taiwan, for

15:23

instance, or a clash with Russia in

15:25

the Baltic region. If I

15:28

was playing a video game, I

15:31

would – if I was playing Civilization

15:34

and the Taiwan-China thing was the conflict

15:36

in the game, I

15:38

would send everything I had to attack

15:41

China and restore the government of the true

15:43

Republic of Taiwan. But

15:45

we're not in a video game. In the

15:47

real world, people die. And if

15:49

the U.S. is to pursue this line of thinking,

15:51

it means we will get ourselves entangled in a

15:53

foreign war, our resources will

15:56

be constrained, people will suffer,

15:58

and the question is for what? For what? For

16:01

what? See, in a video game, it's

16:03

silly fun. You hit save. Let's go!

16:06

Bring back the government of Republic of China. In

16:09

the real world, yeah,

16:11

you lose. There's no save. And

16:14

then what? What's left? The United States

16:16

should be focused on its borders. The CHIPS

16:18

Act seems to make sense, okay? I don't know

16:20

about the nitty-gritty, but the idea that we're going to manufacture our own

16:23

computer chips here in the United States, why aren't

16:25

we doing that already? That

16:27

we get them from Taiwan is insane. Probably

16:30

an excuse to maintain the government of the Republic

16:32

of China in Taiwan by providing them with some

16:34

kind of resource. Sure. They

16:38

want to say, the report notes in 2018, they

16:41

wanted to have this top-tier clash, but in

16:43

reality, our nation is being confronted with three

16:45

wars. The war in Ukraine, the

16:48

war in the Middle East, and the looming war

16:50

over Taiwan and the South China Sea. Actually,

16:52

it may get three and a half wars if you include the

16:54

war of influence we're losing in the Sahel region of

16:57

Africa as U.S. forces abandon bases

16:59

in Niger. Biden, seemingly

17:02

caught in the vice script of

17:04

November electoral calculus, is refusing even to acknowledge

17:06

that we are already in World War III.

17:08

Am I supposed to say we're in World

17:10

War III? People are like, James, stop saying

17:12

we're in World War III. I

17:15

don't know the criteria historically to determine whether or

17:17

not this is civil war or World War III.

17:19

Ladies and gentlemen, please listen, I'm not the one

17:22

saying it. They

17:24

are. Wow. Refusing

17:27

to acknowledge that we're already in World War III. Oh,

17:30

boy. Newsweek says World War III imminent without

17:33

Ukraine, historian predicts. Here's

17:35

Daily Star. Exact

17:38

date, World War III will start

17:40

as new Nostradamus claims, it's just

17:42

weeks away. Oh,

17:45

no. This

17:47

is an important story because I'm hoping that

17:49

it will bolster my female

17:51

audience here at Timcast. Indian

17:54

astrologer predicts exact date

17:56

World War III will start. This is

17:58

the same story. Using

18:01

the Hindu version of astrology called

18:03

Vedic, the new Nostradamus

18:05

has named the exact date World

18:07

War III could start and

18:09

conflict could kick off very soon. And

18:12

then they just show this image of

18:14

war-torn land. A stargazing

18:18

bloke has named the exact

18:20

date World War III will kick off after

18:23

correctly predicting escalations between several enemy

18:25

nations. New Nostradamus

18:28

Kushal Kumar, who

18:30

claims to be an astrologer who predicts world events, recently

18:33

told how tensions would rise between Israel, Hamas,

18:36

both side of Korea, China and Taiwan, and

18:38

Russia and NATO. Although

18:40

some would say these were blindingly

18:42

obvious open goals, Kumar

18:44

used the Vedic astrology, is it Vedic or

18:47

Vedic? I don't know, to do so. For

18:49

the unaware, the chart is based in

18:51

Hindu culture and is supposed to be

18:53

a map of our karma using planetary

18:55

and star alignment. Really. And

18:58

now Kumar has used it to predict the exact date

19:00

World War III is supposed to start and

19:02

it really is just weeks away. He said

19:05

2024 was predicted to be majorly worrisome

19:07

in relation to war conditions in hot

19:09

spots across the world, particularly

19:11

around May 8th. It was

19:13

indicated carrying highest escalation in such war

19:15

fronts as Korea's China-Taiwan, the Middle East,

19:17

involving Israel and others in the Middle

19:20

East, and Ukraine- Russia. Anger

19:22

of NATO could also find expression. Some

19:25

indications of related leader or leaders

19:27

in such region having serious health

19:29

concern or resigning was also indicated.

19:31

Furthermore, the aviation sector and tourism

19:33

was also indicated being hit hard and

19:36

alert was also sounded against conspiratorial

19:38

or deceptive circumstances. You know I

19:40

think these people do. They read

19:42

the news and then they guess. You

19:45

can't look at the stars and predict planes will fall out

19:47

of the sky. You can read the

19:49

news about Boeing and then go I think it'll

19:51

get worse and then it does. But if it

19:53

does that people forget. In light

19:55

of these details they say an impression

19:57

gathered is that some well-defined indication-

20:00

of alert had found a mention for better

20:02

care, an appropriate strategy for

20:04

men who matter in countries at war

20:06

directly or indirectly. Now, Tuesday,

20:08

June 18th, 2024, has

20:11

the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger World War

20:13

III, although

20:15

June 10th and 29th may have

20:17

a say as well. The claims

20:19

come just days after UK officials launched

20:21

a website to tell Brits that they

20:23

need to stock up in the event

20:25

of war actually breaking out, which could

20:28

be pretty soon, apparently. So

20:30

how about this? This

20:32

story from today, of course. How

20:35

about a guy sees the UK says,

20:37

"'Everyone please stock up, war is imminent.'"

20:40

China is about to clash

20:42

with Taiwan. Russia is preparing nukes. And

20:44

then he goes, "'You know, I was looking

20:46

at the stars, "'and World War III is coming in

20:48

a couple weeks.'" And then everyone's

20:50

like, "'Wow, the stars told you that.'" Yeah,

20:52

okay, I don't know. I've been reading the news,

20:55

but sure, the stars is a better story. I

20:58

tell you, I read the news so much,

21:01

it's funny because like, when Nancy Pelosi

21:03

bought Nvidia stock, of course

21:05

I knew the moment she did, and now it's

21:07

up 100% since she bought or

21:10

something like that. And I'm just like,

21:12

why did I buy Nvidia? Why didn't I get

21:15

my money doubled by buying stock that Nancy

21:17

Pelosi buys? I don't know. I

21:19

bought Bitcoin a long time ago, I'll take that. I'd

21:22

probably be better off if I just claimed

21:24

that I could see it in the stars,

21:27

and then every time I read a news story about something coming,

21:29

people would be like, "'Wow, Tim says he reads the stars "'and

21:31

he's been right about all these things.'" Apparently that's what this guy

21:33

is doing. My friends, if

21:35

World War III comes, I hope you are prepared. I don't know

21:38

what it'll look like. Your life will probably carry on mostly the

21:40

same. There may be a shortage of certain goods, but you've lived

21:42

through that already. Life

21:45

goes on. Right now we're at war with Russia. Have

21:48

you noticed? Maybe you did.

21:50

Your gas prices up, your food costs are up. And

21:52

Joe Biden's claiming the economy is fine. It

21:55

will just get worse in that capacity. So

21:58

we'll see. Next segment is... coming

22:00

up at 1 p.m. on this channel. Thanks for hanging out

22:02

and I'll see you all then. The

22:05

Senate is working to confirm several judges

22:07

that have been nominated by Joe Biden.

22:10

The controversy has arisen around one

22:12

judge, magistrate judge

22:14

Sarah Netburn, recommended

22:16

in 2022 that William McLean,

22:19

who now goes by Julie Justine

22:21

Shelby, be housed with female prisoners. The

22:24

issue at hand, says Ted Cruz, is

22:27

that this individual is a repeated

22:29

offender, I'm gonna keep the language light,

22:31

who has abused women, was

22:34

caught with, let's just say, the most

22:36

illegal images of children that

22:39

could be, again, keeping language light. And

22:42

this individual later, uh, took

22:44

hormones, identified as trans, sought

22:46

to be transferred to a female prison and

22:48

was. We

22:51

also have, um, another

22:53

video here from, I believe

22:55

it's, uh, Senator Kennedy, questioning

22:58

this same judge. Now,

23:00

the issue at hand is that they say

23:02

this judge is an activist, that you are

23:04

a political activist, you care more about your

23:06

political ideology than the law. She

23:10

says, no, I applied the law as

23:13

it was. My

23:17

friends, do you understand, and I think many

23:19

of you do, why I

23:21

feel this country is being ripped apart, and

23:25

why I fear it

23:27

may result in conflict. When

23:29

you hear the testimony, uh,

23:32

two videos that I think you should hear from

23:35

this woman and, uh, Cruz and Kennedy, the

23:39

main point at hand, one, I know

23:41

everyone's aware of

23:43

the issue of, uh, male inmates

23:46

identifying as trans and then being

23:48

transferred to female prisons. I

23:51

know that many of you are aware of that issue. I

23:53

know that this is a great political divide,

23:57

but when you hear a judge say it's

23:59

not active, activism, to believe these things, to

24:02

use preferred pronouns. I

24:04

agree with her. It is

24:06

not activism. It

24:08

is the entire worldview of

24:10

the left. If

24:13

someone were to ask you, you

24:15

jaywalked. Did you do it

24:18

because you're an activist? You'd be like,

24:20

no, I did it to cross the street. But

24:22

no, you knew you were breaking the law

24:25

and jaywalking is illegal. You're an activist. You

24:27

say, no, I was crossing the street. You

24:30

see, in a world

24:32

where jaywalking is completely forbidden

24:34

and nobody does, the

24:37

assumption that when a radical group

24:40

arises that espouses the desire to

24:42

jaywalk, you're an

24:44

activist. But what I am

24:46

trying to convey with this argument is that for

24:49

this woman, this judge, who lives

24:51

entirely in the world, that

24:54

gender identity is biological sex,

24:57

she doesn't think she's an activist. She

25:00

is living this reality. For

25:03

her to say that this

25:05

individual who identifies as a woman is a she

25:07

is not an action that she believes

25:10

is changing politics, influencing politics.

25:12

She believes it's a fact

25:14

matter of law. What

25:17

does that mean? Well,

25:19

activism is typically about

25:21

changing things, right? If

25:24

you were a judge and you

25:26

said the individual jaywalk, you get a ticket. Is

25:29

that being an activist? No, that's the law. That's

25:32

how she sees the world. So

25:34

understand that when Ted Cruz and Kennedy

25:37

are saying, you did this outrageous thing

25:39

which flies in the face of

25:42

modern American sensibilities, and

25:44

then she says, no, I didn't. I'm

25:47

not an activist. That's just the law. What

25:50

you need to understand is the left

25:52

faction in this country and

25:54

the younger generations increasingly hyper polarized,

25:57

they view this as the

25:59

absolute law. They view

26:01

it as set and done,

26:04

not an argument, nothing to be

26:06

fought over. Understand

26:08

what that means for this country. Understand

26:11

what that means for your views

26:14

on whether a man who abused children should

26:17

later identify as female and

26:20

be allowed to be in a female prison. I don't

26:22

have the answers here for you

26:25

other than I can... I

26:29

actually have interesting opinions on this one as to

26:31

how we deal with this and what we

26:33

should be doing. But

26:35

my point here is to highlight this

26:38

distinction that is happening

26:40

that has happened. Now,

26:42

of course, this country would be better off were

26:45

it not hyperpolarized. And I believe that there is

26:47

a solution because as I've

26:49

been discussing the issue of political

26:51

debates on acts, there

26:53

always is a counter, there

26:56

always is an alternative, and the alternative is this.

26:59

We have to build culture. We

27:01

need to make sure that Ted Cruz and

27:03

people like him who are

27:06

saying this is activism are

27:08

the dominant culture so that we can

27:10

recognize dramatic political changes as exactly what

27:12

they are, activism, and have some stabilizing

27:14

force to protect women and children. Let

27:18

me play for you first

27:21

the video from Ted Cruz. I could

27:24

read the quotes, but I want to play the

27:26

video for you and you can hear for yourself. Well

27:28

Judge Netburn, I want to continue on this line of questioning.

27:33

In your court, what matters more, the

27:36

rights of individuals or your political ideology?

27:40

I apply the law to the facts. I

27:42

asked a question, which matters more? My

27:45

political ideology doesn't matter at all. So

27:47

I don't believe you. And I

27:50

think this case demonstrates that

27:53

you are willing to subjugate the rights

27:55

of individuals to satisfy your political ideology.

27:59

This case... This case involves

28:01

a male defendant who

28:06

raped a nine-year-old boy. Was

28:08

he guilty of that? Yes,

28:10

the petitioner pled guilty to that. Okay, so he

28:13

raped a nine-year-old boy. He also raped

28:15

a 17-year-old girl. Was he guilty of that?

28:17

He pled guilty. The petitioner pled guilty of that crime

28:20

as well. So was he

28:22

guilty? I hope so because she pled

28:24

guilty to it. Notice how she just switched

28:26

pronouns. He said he, he

28:29

pled guilty, then later she. He

28:32

was a he when he did this. That's correct.

28:36

And also criminal deviant conduct,

28:38

which the record doesn't disclose what

28:40

that was exactly. Then,

28:44

after serving in prison, Mr.

28:47

McLean was released for parole, but

28:50

then violated the terms of parole by having internet and

28:52

was sent back to prison. One

28:56

year after being released again, he was convicted of

28:58

having child pornography. Is that correct? I'm

29:02

unclear on exactly the time frame that you're

29:04

at, but the petitioner was convicted of distributing

29:06

child pornography. Child pornography that

29:08

was images of adults violently

29:10

raping children. Abhorrent conduct.

29:13

Okay. For which there are real victims.

29:17

And this individual, six

29:20

foot two, biologically a

29:22

man, a minute ago, you said that

29:25

when this man decided

29:27

that he was a she, you

29:29

said this individual was, quote, I wrote it down,

29:32

sober and entirely a female.

29:36

That phrase struck me as remarkable. Did

29:38

this individual have male genitalia? I

29:40

think what I said, or at least that

29:42

is a verbatim quote, entirely a female. Sorry.

29:45

What I meant to say was hormonally a

29:47

female. Okay, but that's not entirely. Did

29:49

this individual have male genitalia? Yes.

29:53

So you took a six foot two serial

29:56

rapist, serial

29:59

child rapist. rapist with

30:02

male genitalia and he said,

30:04

you know, I'd like to be in

30:06

a women's prison. And

30:09

your answer was, that sounds great to me. Let

30:11

me ask you something. The other women in that

30:13

prison, do they have any rights? Is

30:17

that a question? Yes. The other women in

30:19

that prison, do they have any rights? Of course. Do

30:21

they have the right not to have

30:23

a six foot two man who is

30:25

a repeat serial rapist put in as

30:28

their cellmate? Senator Cruz,

30:30

I considered the facts presented to me

30:32

and I reached a decision. I asked

30:34

you a question. I asked you a question. Do

30:36

they have a right not to have a

30:39

six foot two man who is a serial

30:41

rapist put in as their cellmate? Do those

30:43

women have a right to that? Every

30:45

person who is incarcerated has the right

30:47

to be safe in their space. Okay,

30:52

I will stress. The point that I

30:54

am making in this

30:56

segment is I hope you understand this

30:59

woman genuinely believes she is applying

31:01

the law as the law prescribes.

31:04

It's not activism. This is accepted

31:06

as fact. Now, of course, you, my

31:08

friends will strongly disagree.

31:12

And I think there's better solutions for this. One,

31:15

I think that if there is an individual, I do think

31:17

it's important to consider this. The

31:19

individual in question, the serial offender, should

31:22

this individual have properly undergone hormonal

31:26

treatments will effectively have

31:29

been rendered incapable

31:31

as it were. But

31:34

considering the political nature, considering

31:37

any concern that anyone

31:40

might have over risks and

31:42

to the safety of individuals in general,

31:44

right? But we

31:46

probably shouldn't put biological males in prisons with

31:49

females regardless of whether they're taking hormones. And

31:51

perhaps the answer is special

31:54

wings of prisons. So just

31:57

there you go, I guess. that

32:01

we are going to be able to accommodate every

32:03

single identity disorder listed

32:05

in the DSM-5 properly

32:07

in prisons is an

32:11

absurdity. What I mean to say is

32:14

we're not going to make – I often like to

32:16

use body dysmorphia and pica

32:18

as examples also listed in the

32:20

DSM-5 alongside gender dysphoria. Somebody

32:23

who eats pennies, yet we won't give them any, but they

32:25

might start eating things and we'll try to stop them, but

32:28

they're in the same prison. Someone who

32:30

believes that they should be an amputee –

32:32

this is body dysmorphic disorder, this is body dysmorphia

32:34

– we're not going to let them do

32:36

that. We cannot create

32:38

special prisons and special circumstances

32:41

for everyone who is affected by

32:43

a DSM-5 mental disorder. It

32:45

is just not possible. But

32:47

again, I stress. The reason

32:49

I bring this up is as we're moving into the future –

32:52

and I think I have this – this is a story

32:54

that we've covered a couple times the other day and I'll

32:56

only cover lightly in this context. They

32:59

say 58% of Gen Z and Millennials believe civil

33:01

war is likely. You've

33:04

got then Gen X 46%, Boomers

33:06

34, and the Silent Generation 19. You

33:10

get it? The older a person is,

33:13

the less likely they are to believe civil war

33:15

is possible. In

33:17

fact, women are the

33:19

majority who think civil war is likely. When

33:23

the Silent Generation and the Boomers pass

33:27

on and are no longer voting

33:29

or involved in modern society, you

33:31

will have Gen X. You

33:34

will have Millennials. Gen

33:36

Alpha will likely agree with Millennials. Why?

33:39

Younger people are more radicalized and live in

33:41

entirely different worlds. I believe a large product

33:43

of this comes from the Chinese Communist Party's

33:45

manipulations of our government, of our

33:47

culture – TikTok

33:49

particularly. But

33:52

it's also just social media in general.

33:54

The algorithms drove people to this degree

33:56

of hyperpolarization. And now

33:58

you have a judge. I

34:01

believe she believes this. She

34:04

thinks, what do you mean? That's

34:07

just the law. Here's

34:09

Kennedy questioning the same woman. Do

34:12

you remember an inmate named William

34:14

McLean, also known as

34:16

July Justine Shelby? Yes, I know

34:18

who you're referring to. Okay.

34:22

Mr. McLean raped

34:26

a child, didn't he?

34:29

Thirty years ago, the petitioner in the

34:31

habeas case before me... Did he

34:33

rape a child? He pled guilty

34:36

to that crime, yes, it's a point. And then

34:38

he raped a 17... He raped a little boy, right?

34:42

I believe that's correct. I believe he pled guilty to

34:44

do acts of sexual violence. And then

34:47

he raped a 17-year-old girl,

34:49

right? Again, this

34:51

case was handled by the state court in Indiana, but

34:53

I believe... I'm just asking you the facts. Don't stall

34:55

on me now. Did

34:58

he rape a 17-year-old girl or not after

35:00

raping a 9-year-old boy? I

35:02

believe that's what he pled guilty to. Okay, and then he

35:04

went to prison, didn't he? Yes,

35:07

the petitioner... And then he came out

35:10

and he sent child

35:13

porn, basically adults,

35:16

raping little children to another

35:18

sex offender. And he

35:20

was sent back to prison, right? The

35:23

petitioner pled guilty to... Was he sent

35:26

back to prison? Well, that

35:28

case was in the federal system, so... Was he sent back

35:30

to prison? Yes, this time to federal

35:32

prison. Thank you. And then

35:34

he decided to transition

35:37

and he became a female

35:40

and started going by July Justine

35:43

Shelby, is that right? Yes.

35:46

And Miss Shelby said,

35:48

I don't want to go to a male prison. I

35:52

want to go to a female prison. And

35:56

the board of prisons said, what

35:59

planet did you pair... issued it in from. You're

36:01

going to a male prison. I don't think they

36:03

said exactly that. And you sent

36:05

him to a

36:07

female prison, didn't you? You said that

36:10

the board of prisons was trying

36:12

to violate Ms.

36:16

Shelby, former Mr. McLean's constitutional

36:18

rights, didn't you? I

36:21

issued a report and recommendation to

36:23

the district judge recommending that the

36:25

district judge transfer the petitioner to

36:27

a women's facility. The district judge

36:29

adopted that recommendation. You said the board of

36:31

prisons was trying to

36:33

violate Ms.

36:36

Shelby's, Mr. McLean's, constitutional rights,

36:38

didn't you? So I

36:40

based my decision on the facts that were presented to

36:42

me in the record evidence. But it wasn't that you're

36:44

ruling? I recommended

36:46

finding that under Estelle versus

36:49

Gamble. Why won't you admit that was your

36:51

ruling? Are you ashamed of it? I'm not.

36:53

I'm answering the question. I applied Estelle versus

36:55

Gamble. But was that your ruling? My

36:57

recommendation was that the petitioner's serious medical

36:59

needs were being denied by keeping her

37:02

in a men's facility. A violation

37:04

of the Eighth Amendment, right? That's

37:06

correct. Okay. And how big was

37:09

Ms. Shelby, Mr.

37:12

McLean? I

37:14

don't have a specific recollection. Your

37:16

colleague just suggested that she was

37:18

more than six feet tall. And

37:21

you told the board of prisons, well, she'll

37:24

be okay. The other

37:26

women in the female prison will be okay

37:28

because it's only hypothetical that

37:31

Ms. Shelby, Mr.

37:33

McLean, would reoffend again after

37:36

he's already raped a 90-year-old boy

37:39

and a 17-year-old girl and

37:41

has been sending child porn through the

37:43

mail. You said there's no chance he'll

37:45

reoffend again. Did

37:47

you say that? Senator Kennedy, I based my decision

37:50

on the record. But am I right? Did you

37:52

conclude that? I

37:54

don't have a specific recollection of that.

37:56

I did recommend that after... finding

38:00

a constitutional violation. What are

38:02

you thinking? And saying there's no, it's

38:05

only hypothetical that she would

38:07

re-offend. The

38:10

facts of the case were that the

38:12

petitioner had last engaged in a contact

38:14

offense 30 years ago. The

38:16

petitioner had not engaged in any contact

38:19

offense. In addition, the medical

38:21

evidence made clear that for the last

38:23

five years, the petitioner was sober and

38:27

hormonally entirely a female, and there

38:29

was no evidence. The Board of Prisons didn't

38:31

agree with you. Let me, I'm gonna run

38:33

out of time here. You're

38:36

really a political activist, aren't you? I

38:39

am not, sir. But your record

38:41

demonstrates otherwise. I disagree, I

38:43

apply the law to the facts and come

38:45

to a fair decision. All of

38:47

my decisions that have been appealed, particularly

38:49

this one, the district judge adopted my

38:51

report and recommendation in full, and the

38:53

government did not move for a stay

38:56

of the decision. This

38:58

is your world. This

39:00

is half the country. She

39:02

says it's not activism. So this

39:04

hearing was yesterday. She says it was

39:07

not activism. It was

39:09

not activism. Because the

39:11

judge agreed, there was no stay, that's

39:13

it. The

39:17

warden disagreed. What

39:19

do you think happens as we move forward in a society

39:21

like this? Do you

39:23

think that Trump supporters, right-wing populists

39:25

are gonna be like, we accept this?

39:27

Of course not. Cruz and Kennedy

39:29

hereby show. They view

39:32

this as political activism, seeking to revolutionize and

39:34

change our way of life. To

39:36

this woman, she outright firmly

39:38

believes this is normal. The

39:44

worldviews are bifurcated. I

39:47

do not understand how

39:49

there could be anyone who would suggest

39:52

that there will be an

39:55

amicable compromise in a situation

39:57

like this. the

40:00

male can be in the female prison or

40:02

they can't. Both sides,

40:05

they refuse to accept the

40:07

other. So

40:10

what is the outcome? Honestly, I don't know. Some

40:13

say federalism is the answer. Let

40:15

the states be the states to avoid conflict,

40:18

perhaps. The

40:21

problem is the politics reaches

40:23

the highest level and this is the

40:25

federal level. And when you have

40:27

a federal court system where in

40:29

some federal districts the

40:31

judges there believe leftist far-left

40:34

cult ideas and

40:36

some have right-wing ideas, you can't have

40:39

a legal system. I got to

40:41

tell you, man, when dealing with

40:43

some of the BS we've dealt with running

40:45

a company like this, particularly

40:47

legal issues, and

40:50

this has probably been true for a while but it's worse now.

40:53

Hey, someone stole something from us and we want to

40:55

sue. Okay, well, we

40:57

recommend you sue here because

41:01

that judge is a MAGA judge and you'll win in two seconds. If

41:04

you sue there, it's a leftist judge and

41:06

you'll you'll you'll lose in two seconds. Or

41:08

I should say, I

41:10

must speak, with the MAGA judge you win

41:12

in two seconds, with the leftist judge you

41:14

lose because they don't care.

41:17

They don't care about the facts of the case. They

41:19

care that you're on the wrong side. You're

41:21

just a bigot and a liar. They care

41:23

that they want to empower their faction. Now,

41:26

unfortunately for us, on the right, you

41:28

go to a judge who is a constitutionalist and

41:30

they'll try to apply the law fairly. You might

41:32

lose. This is the left's

41:35

wager. If you're a leftist cult

41:37

member, you win. If you're

41:40

on the right and you believe

41:42

in America and the Constitution, you'll get a fair

41:45

hearing, which means you can lose too. There's

41:48

the wager. You effectively have a 25%

41:51

chance to win. You take out jurisdiction.

41:53

You go to a court where

41:55

you've got a real judge who believes in this country in 50-50.

41:58

Prove your case. case, maybe you'll win. Woke

42:02

judge, you're going to lose. You're not woke. That's

42:04

what we are seeing everywhere. We take a look at what's going on in New

42:06

York with Donald Trump. This

42:08

is the machine right now. And

42:11

it is terrifying. I

42:14

hope that come November,

42:16

my hope that we

42:18

do see the off ramp. Donald

42:20

Trump gets elected. He starts firing.

42:25

He starts eliminating people from these, from

42:27

these bureaucracies. We see impeachment

42:29

of many of these judges who

42:32

hold absurd, anti-constitutional

42:34

views, and

42:36

then things get cleaned up. But

42:39

I'm not so convinced. I'm not

42:42

so convinced, unfortunately, because what

42:44

again, I wanted to stress with this

42:46

segment is that this judge is

42:49

convicted. She

42:52

does not believe she is an activist. She

42:55

is not sitting there thinking, I'm going

42:57

to change the system. She

42:59

is sitting there thinking, I applied the law

43:01

as it is written. And

43:05

you know what? She might not be wrong. Many

43:08

States, the federal government, the law has

43:10

been applied in this way. Now

43:13

I wonder for this judge, she

43:16

certainly comes off as a leftist. I don't know enough about her.

43:19

For all I know, she's sitting there thinking, if I

43:21

deny this, it gets appealed. It goes to a judge

43:23

above me and then I look bad. I don't want

43:25

that on my record. The law says this

43:27

is what we're supposed to do. So we do it. She

43:30

keeps saying, I applied the law. I applied the law. Hmm.

43:35

Well, I tell you this, if it

43:37

were me and you can

43:40

see in certain States, the law does protect

43:42

certain ideologies, I'd respond with

43:44

my hands are tied. The state

43:46

passed a law saying, this is how we apply it. I

43:49

think it's wrong, but as to

43:51

how the legislative bodies have decided the state

43:53

will be run, I applied

43:56

it as they've written it. I

43:58

don't think it would be appropriate for me. judge to

44:01

ignore legislation

44:05

because of my own personal opinions. If

44:07

you take issue with what these prisons in

44:09

the state is doing, then please

44:11

speak up more. But

44:13

she didn't do that because she

44:15

genuinely believes when she used

44:17

the pronouns for the person. It's

44:20

fascinating. She believes this is

44:22

the world. And

44:25

there will be more of this and it will

44:27

be more pronounced in the next several years. 2028

44:30

will be the first year Gen Alpha begins to vote. I

44:35

imagine it will be interesting. Next segment is coming

44:37

up at 4pm on this channel. Thanks for hanging out and we'll see you

44:39

all then. Have any of

44:41

you noticed that the economy

44:43

is not so good?

44:46

I've noticed it because I run a business.

44:49

And so we can see from

44:51

the slightest and most minor of

44:53

retractions to the greatest boons. To

44:56

put it simply, the average person

44:59

experiences a paycheck problem. They're

45:01

making the same amount of money and the groceries

45:03

are becoming more expensive. This

45:05

means they spend less. Or actually I took the

45:08

bag. It means they're spending probably the same amount

45:10

or more but they're getting less is what I

45:12

mean to say. You

45:14

go to a grocery store, your

45:17

milk is now more expensive, your eggs are more

45:19

expensive, gas is more expensive and you're not getting

45:21

a raise. So

45:23

this is funny from NBC News. Most Americans

45:25

falsely think the US is in a recession,

45:27

poll shows. Yeah,

45:29

it's stagflation. It's fascinating to me

45:32

that you have the general consensus of people being

45:34

like the economy is screwed and

45:37

then the media keeps saying everything is

45:39

fine. Everything is

45:41

not fine. In

45:44

the bigger picture here at Timcast when we

45:46

do ad sales and stuff like that, oh boy, let me tell

45:48

you. When COVID first

45:51

hit, ad rates dropped off like

45:53

80%. Nobody's

45:55

buying ads anymore. Businesses were

45:57

shut down. you

46:00

generate on a platform like YouTube is

46:02

small business. So

46:04

we're here in West Virginia, for instance. I

46:07

see an ad on the TV for Riley Moore when he

46:09

was running. He won, by the way. Congratulations. We're really excited

46:11

about that. And he'll be the

46:13

first member of Congress who can land a kickflip to Fakie,

46:15

probably a lot more than that to be. He's good at

46:17

skateboarding. But his ad comes out.

46:19

It's a local ad. He's not advertising outside of

46:21

West Virginia. And it's only in the West Virginia. It's

46:23

only in, I think, the second district is our district.

46:25

So that

46:29

ad doesn't appear anywhere else. But

46:32

that means those channels are making money off that ad. And

46:34

that spend might have been small. It might have been a

46:36

few thousand bucks. Who knows? The

46:38

ad that appears on the TV costs one penny. When

46:41

I look at our ad revenue, YouTube programmatic,

46:44

you may have noticed this month we've

46:46

had some ads on this channel. Yeah,

46:48

we're doing direct sales because

46:52

the programmatic little guy ads

46:54

are evaporating. That's right. Now,

46:57

our company here has built

46:59

off Timcast memberships and

47:02

other sponsorships. So go to timcast.com. Join us, become

47:04

a member. If you like the work that I

47:06

do, the work we're doing at Timcast, you want

47:08

to see more of it. Because

47:10

that's a stabilizing factor. But I tell you this, we've

47:13

had members resign in because they can't

47:15

afford it anymore. And it's 10 bucks a month.

47:18

And I tell you this right now, guys, it's

47:20

10 bucks a month. If

47:22

you can't afford to buy groceries, you

47:24

should not be buying Timcast membership. Now

47:27

I do think media work, commentary, all this

47:29

stuff is important, but it's way after the

47:32

fact. First and foremost, feed yourself, feed your

47:34

family, pay your rent. If

47:36

you if you're able to, then I do

47:38

think a show like

47:40

this is probably more important than I don't

47:42

know, buying the extra

47:44

beer, I guess that but I do think

47:47

you're better off and it's fair to say

47:50

you deserve your beer. You deserve

47:52

your beer. But you know, when

47:54

we used to do nonprofit fundraising, we'd be like,

47:56

look, skip one beer

47:58

this month. And become a member to support

48:01

the work that we're doing. So I'll send it to you right

48:03

now. If you can forego

48:05

but a single beer. I

48:07

mean, I don't know, beer's not like 10 bucks, like

48:09

five, but it's two beers, to be honest. But

48:12

I don't mean to get into that spiel.

48:14

My main point is, I know everybody's hurting.

48:16

We can see it. We can

48:18

see it. And they're saying, you're wrong.

48:22

Okay. Okay, NBC News,

48:25

according to a new garden hair poll, 56% of respondents

48:27

said they believe the U.S. is in a recession. I

48:29

wonder why. Is it because they

48:31

can't afford to buy groceries? Here

48:34

you go. J.P. Morgan

48:37

Forecaster issues grim warning about the state of the

48:39

stock market this year, and it

48:41

could be cataclysmic. Analyst

48:44

Marco Kolonovich warned the

48:46

stock market may become volatile. This

48:50

is the game they play. Joe

48:52

Biden, Democrats, you know, everyone does this.

48:55

I'm not going to single out Democrats. They go,

48:58

the economy is great. Look at the market. And

49:00

then the out-of-power party says, the market,

49:02

look at the people. They can't afford

49:04

their bills. And

49:07

then the other party comes in, and

49:09

the market's bad, but the groceries are good,

49:12

and they're like, the market's terrible. What's going

49:14

on? It's like, yeah, but people can't afford

49:16

to eat. Right

49:19

now, people can't afford to eat, but

49:21

the market is good. So the corporate

49:23

press and the Democrats are all saying, everything's great.

49:26

Joe Biden falsely coming out and saying, people

49:28

got money to spend. What

49:30

did he claim? He claimed that Americans had COVID money.

49:32

I'm like, bro, that was years ago. That was three

49:34

years ago. Bro, where you living? Dude,

49:38

I see it in the prices, okay?

49:43

It's funny because you get these people, they'll

49:45

comment on like IRL or on

49:47

these videos, and they'll be like, Tim's

49:49

rich. He doesn't understand the price of

49:51

goods. Dude, I have to order food

49:53

for a studio with 40 some odd

49:55

employees. I have to buy

49:58

milk, bread, and eggs. On

50:00

Fridays, we buy food for the

50:03

company because we have those Friday meetings. We

50:05

do the morning show, then the company gets

50:07

together. I think that's incredibly important to

50:10

have that dedicated moment once a week for

50:12

everybody to be in the same room, eating,

50:14

talking, sharing ideas, building community for the business.

50:18

I'm the one buying all of that stuff. I'm

50:20

the one saying, okay, we're gonna

50:22

get these snacks, these snacks, and these snacks. And

50:26

then what do I see? And I'm like, how much? So

50:28

the big thing was we buy these salami packs. We

50:31

don't buy them anymore because

50:34

we're not near that same grocery store. Weis,

50:36

by the way, I think it's called Weis, but everyone, you

50:39

know, it's Weis because it's German or something. But they had

50:41

these salami packs and they were like five bucks. A

50:44

couple of years ago. We

50:46

went in several months ago, I told the story,

50:48

to buy the same thing. We get big packs,

50:50

everybody loves them. You dip them in some

50:53

kind of cheese sauce or something. It's

50:55

a keto snack. And

50:57

they were like 13 bucks each. And

51:00

I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, is this a mistake? We're

51:02

ringing them up. And I was like, wait, wait, how

51:04

much is it? What is it, 400 bucks? What?

51:07

Yeah, the salami packs are 13 each. And

51:09

I was like, holy, what?

51:14

Dude. Now look, we

51:17

buy food, we have it on

51:19

the snack shelf in the fridge, you're at work. You

51:21

wanna have a snack. We wanna have snacks available for

51:23

people. We want people to be able to eat healthy

51:25

things. So we have Fair

51:27

Life protein milk. We've got protein powder.

51:31

My attitude is this. If

51:33

the people who work here are healthy, so we do the

51:35

workout class once a week for everybody. And

51:37

if they're physically fit and they're eating

51:40

healthier, they're going to be working better,

51:42

feeling better, more productive. They'll live longer.

51:44

It's just all around better for everybody.

51:47

And we can see it. It's ripping

51:50

us to shreds. And

51:52

it's a bummer too, because we

51:55

wanna be able to have great snacks. The one thing I'll say

51:57

is we're not doing the alcohol anymore. So

51:59

at the last- Tim Kastudio we had this excellent

52:01

alcohol shelf with really fancy stuff. Aside from

52:03

the fact it's too expensive, nobody

52:06

was drinking and you know

52:09

what I respect it. People

52:11

would come in and I'd say we'd say something like

52:13

you know we've got these

52:15

really fancy whiskeys, our scotch, and then people

52:17

gradually started saying no more and more often

52:19

the point where it's just been sitting there

52:21

and we haven't done a restock in a

52:23

year and I'm like I don't think we need to

52:25

buy any more of this stuff. Nobody wants it. Everybody

52:27

wants to be healthy. Daily

52:30

Mail reports a JP Morgan

52:32

analyst has warned the stock market could become

52:34

volatile despite record highs. The

52:37

company's chief marketing strategist

52:39

Marco Kolonowicz issued a note on

52:41

Monday forecasting that the S&P 500 could fall

52:43

20% by to 4200 by the end of the

52:45

year. Whoa! And

52:49

that the Dow Jones he

52:52

says he urged investors not to turn bullish

52:54

despite the Dow Jones hitting 40,000 for the

52:57

first time last week. Yo it's

52:59

like 2020 it was 20,000 that's not a good thing! The

53:01

argument is your 401ks are

53:07

way up. The market's doing great.

53:10

Yo. You

53:13

could buy a cheeseburger for a dollar four

53:15

years ago at McDonald's. Now it's

53:17

like four bucks. How's

53:19

that market Dublin doing for you? His

53:23

reasoning is interest rates

53:25

are likely to stay in restrictive

53:27

territory for longer combined with lower

53:30

income consumers showing signs of weakness

53:32

and high levels of geopolitical uncertainty.

53:35

With very high equity valuations we do not see

53:37

equities as attractive investments the moment we don't see

53:39

a reason to change our at the moment we

53:41

don't see a reason to change our stance. With

53:44

the exception among analysts I'm

53:46

gonna tell you guys go watch

53:49

go watch the news in 2008. Pull

53:52

up the old news articles pull up the old TV

53:54

hits they're all saying

53:56

the economy is better than

53:59

ever you're me making money and then

54:03

the Great Recession happened. Everybody

54:06

got slammed. Their accounts

54:08

were drained, but

54:10

the media kept saying it was fine, why? They

54:12

don't wanna put people on TV who

54:14

are going to tell you that things are bad

54:17

because they don't want to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

54:20

If they say the market's bad and people are gonna panic,

54:22

people start selling, the market starts declining, and

54:25

then you create what you fear. So

54:28

they don't like videos like this, but here's

54:30

the reality, man, it's

54:33

Bidenomics, it's Bidenflation. We

54:35

know exactly what's going on in this

54:37

country, and they're lying because they hate

54:39

Trump. They're lying because they want war.

54:43

They want to prop up our economy to

54:45

the petrodollar and conquest, and

54:48

Donald Trump wants to bring jobs back and secure

54:50

our borders. I

54:52

think that if you

54:55

get the American populist dream, life will be harder, I

54:57

do, but I don't think a hard life is

54:59

a bad life. Having

55:02

to wake up and work to survive, to

55:04

learn how to take care of animals or

55:06

grow your own food is a good thing.

55:10

This idea that we can sit in our

55:12

lounge chairs growing fatter and eating greasy,

55:14

salty, garbage, sodium benzoate

55:17

foods forever is ridiculous.

55:20

I think people are happier and healthier when

55:23

they work a little bit more for their

55:25

own survival. I really do. Now,

55:29

that doesn't mean that the people who are having hardship

55:31

today deserve more hardship. What I'm saying is we have

55:33

too many fat cats in this country entitled

55:35

wealthy urban liberal types who don't do

55:38

anything and are burning the system to

55:40

the ground because they don't want to

55:42

work. I'm

55:45

not an economist, so I have no prediction for you. I

55:47

can just tell you now, everybody's hurting, and we

55:49

can see it and we can feel it. Media

55:54

lies, hilarious. Next

55:57

segment's coming up at 6 p.m. on this channel. Thanks for hanging out,

55:59

and I'll see you all. them. Assassin's

56:02

Creed, a very long-standing video game

56:04

franchise where you play an assassin

56:07

and you go around and you

56:09

dispatch of certain historical individuals. I

56:12

think the last one I played was in

56:14

Italy or was it

56:16

France? Oh no, there's the American Revolution one I think.

56:18

You play like a Native American or something.

56:21

It's a fun game, great mechanics, it's been

56:23

around for a long, what is it, like 20

56:25

years now or something? Well my

56:27

friends, the latest installment of Assassin's Creed, which

56:29

for those that aren't familiar, these,

56:32

the series takes place in

56:34

various time periods. They have

56:36

like a pirate one. Okay so in

56:38

Italy you play, what's it, Ezio? Was

56:41

that his name? You play an Italian guy and

56:44

in the American Revolution I think it was a Native American

56:46

guy. Yeah that'll make sense. Now in

56:49

the latest one you're in feudal Japan

56:51

and apparently it's a tall black

56:54

man. Okay my

56:56

friends, I got no issue

56:59

with video game characters or anybody,

57:01

diversity, like you want to

57:03

make a video game called Black Samurai, like that's

57:06

fine. You want to make a video game called

57:08

Samurai's you know and whatever and it's a modern

57:10

telling of the story and there's

57:12

a black man who becomes, that's fine too. But

57:15

if your video game series is based on

57:18

these specific time periods and these characters and

57:20

this history, the idea that

57:23

you would bring in diversity into it

57:26

is considered widely to be pandering.

57:30

Shout out to G Prime 85 who

57:32

mocked this, if you're not familiar with George Alexopoulos's

57:34

work, he shows a comic where

57:36

if you play Assassin's Creed it's like after

57:39

the assassin does the deed you

57:42

try to blend in with the crowd disappear

57:44

and in his joke it's like everyone's like who's

57:46

done this quick look for someone out of the

57:48

ordinary and there's like a six foot tall, a

57:50

six foot five black man who clearly does not

57:52

fit in field Japan. This is what

57:54

people are upset about. In the

57:57

the American Revolution one, you

57:59

played as an Native American guy. No

58:02

one complained that you were playing a

58:04

Native American guy in this game. It's fine.

58:06

It makes sense. It works. But

58:10

this is like, come on, man.

58:12

Dude, I don't... I

58:14

don't care if you want

58:17

to make a video game with diverse

58:19

characters, but don't make a historical piece

58:21

this game going through this history with

58:23

these characters, and then introduce this weird

58:25

out-of-place diversity. I

58:27

want to give a shout-out to... apparently

58:30

people are upset at the new Fairly Odd Parents. The

58:33

Fairly Odd Parents new Wish trailer, Cosmo and

58:35

Wanda, have a young black girl as their

58:37

new godchild. And I like... I

58:40

don't think this one is getting nearly as much

58:42

like negativity. Like it's not really that big a

58:44

deal. But I did see that some

58:46

people are like, what are they doing to Fairly Odd... Oh,

58:48

come on. What I will say

58:50

is, I think the

58:53

intro is offensive because it's apparently like a hip-hop

58:55

R&B version of the Fairly Odd Parents song, and

58:57

it's like, come on, a little thick, don't you

58:59

think? But like the idea

59:01

that they made a Fairly Odd Parents where Timmy

59:03

Turner is no longer the kid who gets wishes...

59:06

it's a kid's show, right? Timmy

59:08

Turner was a little white kid with buck teeth. And now

59:10

they have a little black girl. And it's like, yeah, that's

59:12

fine. Are there people really mad about that? I'm

59:14

like, I don't care. They could make the character

59:17

Asian, black, white, boy, girl,

59:19

whatever. It's a show about fairies in the United

59:21

States, and that's it.

59:23

I don't know. It's silliness. But I want

59:25

to stress, it's not like

59:27

this story is actually causing any real outrage.

59:30

But I did see people ragging on it

59:32

like, nobody wanted this. And I'm like, dude,

59:34

I don't care. Take a look at this. So

59:38

this is from Bounding Into Comics. Every

59:40

major YouTube upload of Assassin's Creed

59:43

Shadows trailer holds negative like to

59:45

dislike ratio. Official Ubisoft version

59:47

at 600k dislikes and counting.

59:50

Faced with limited avenues with

59:52

which to express their discontent, fans unhappy

59:54

with Ubisoft's decision to focus Assassin's Creed

59:57

Shadow on a pop culture interpretation of

59:59

the historical... Yasuke rather

1:00:02

than any sort of native Japanese samurai have

1:00:04

left every major YouTube upload of the game's

1:00:06

debut trailer with a negative like to dislike

1:00:08

ratio. So

1:00:11

it says Yasuke

1:00:13

TBA awaits the delivery of a

1:00:15

message from Naoe, I'm not going

1:00:18

Japanese, and Assassin's Creed shadows. Debuting

1:00:21

to the world in May 15th the trailer in

1:00:23

question revealed that not only would the latest entry

1:00:25

in the long-running action-adventure series be set in fetal

1:00:27

Japan but it would feature as

1:00:29

noted above the African servant

1:00:31

to a Jesuit missionary turned

1:00:33

eventual retainer to Oda Nobunaga

1:00:37

as one of its resident samurai protagonist. Unhappy

1:00:40

with Ubisoft's blatant attempt at pandering

1:00:43

that the first East Asian entry into

1:00:45

the franchise is unlike its predecessors outside

1:00:47

of Revelations and Black Flag not allowed

1:00:49

to wholly center its story on native

1:00:51

heroes certainly as eyebrow raising to

1:00:53

say the least. Fans responded to

1:00:55

the trailer's reveal by smashing the dislike

1:00:57

button on whichever respective upload of

1:01:00

the trailer they were viewing. Ladies

1:01:02

and gentlemen I am 5% Japanese

1:01:05

and that means I am allowed to be 100% outraged

1:01:09

we are not getting Japanese character. I

1:01:12

am 20% Korean and Koreans and Japanese people don't

1:01:14

like each other. Alright anyway

1:01:17

as revealed courtesy of

1:01:19

the return YouTube dislikes extension

1:01:22

at IGN the trailer for

1:01:24

okay at IGN the trailer standard upload currently sits

1:01:26

at 8.4 K dislikes

1:01:29

I'm sorry likes the 38 K dislikes with

1:01:32

its 4k version 5k likes 19 K

1:01:34

dislikes okay then they just give

1:01:36

us the ratio again we get it we get it people don't

1:01:38

like it. Unsurprisingly

1:01:41

the bloodbath is even worse on

1:01:43

Ubisoft's own official channels with

1:01:45

Ubisoft Latino America's upload facing 2.9

1:01:47

K likes to 25

1:01:50

K dislikes. Brazil they

1:01:52

got only 285 likes wow this is funny and Ubisoft

1:01:57

Japan on the receiving end of a map

1:02:00

ratio of 4k to

1:02:02

40k dislikes 90% and

1:02:07

in truly driving the point home the

1:02:09

upload of Assassin's Creed shadow trailer made

1:02:11

to Ubisoft main English language channel is at

1:02:14

the time of writing sitting on an astonishingly

1:02:17

terrible and franchise low ratio of

1:02:20

267k to 606k dislikes. Researcher that number is

1:02:24

continually claiming. You

1:02:26

know it's

1:02:28

just so annoying that they do stuff like this man. Look

1:02:33

I am I actually am part Japanese

1:02:35

all right so so here's

1:02:37

my story and I know people are

1:02:39

always joking like Tim's mixed race whatever so I'm 20% Korean

1:02:44

growing up I just we were just quarter Korean

1:02:46

that's all it was we didn't really know the Asian background but

1:02:49

then following a DNA test through my family

1:02:52

we learned we're actually 5% Japanese as well

1:02:55

and anybody who knows the history of those

1:02:57

places immediately goes ooh when

1:02:59

you hear that's the case the funniest thing the

1:03:01

funniest thing someone said to me was 5% Japanese

1:03:03

and I was like yeah and they're

1:03:05

like that implies it happened

1:03:08

twice if you know what that means I hope

1:03:11

you're laughing I think

1:03:13

it's funny too because whenever people

1:03:15

make Asian jokes to me like that's fine

1:03:17

I think it's funny it's like it's like

1:03:19

a whatever and so I

1:03:22

will say this I would

1:03:24

love to play a feudal Japan Assassin's

1:03:27

Creed game with Japanese

1:03:29

heroes I

1:03:33

they don't they didn't give us one I got

1:03:35

I mean there is a Japanese woman and then

1:03:37

there's a black man and my

1:03:39

attitude is simply this I

1:03:42

I I don't care like

1:03:45

Idris Elba played Heimdall

1:03:47

in Avengers and

1:03:50

a lot of people got mad because they were like

1:03:52

Heimdall is a Norse God a

1:03:54

big white guy and you

1:03:56

got a black man to play him I'm like

1:03:58

yo I don't care about that Like,

1:04:01

I don't care. Idris Elba's awesome,

1:04:03

and he did great in the

1:04:05

role, and I don't care.

1:04:07

It's make-believe. We're playing. You know what

1:04:09

I mean? The thing about Avengers

1:04:12

is it's a bunch of superheroes. It's

1:04:14

a goofy waste of time. Assassin's

1:04:17

Creed is only slightly different in

1:04:19

that these are actually typically referencing

1:04:21

real historical moments and

1:04:23

letting people live as heroes from that time period in

1:04:25

that region. Let me put it

1:04:27

this way. I

1:04:30

am—I'm just gonna say—you are racist, Ubisoft,

1:04:32

because I got to play an Italian guy, but

1:04:34

I'm not Italian. I got to

1:04:36

play Native American. I'm not a Native American. Where's

1:04:38

my Japanese guy, huh? You know,

1:04:40

I'm over here. You know, I want

1:04:42

to play video games, too, but I

1:04:45

don't get—whoa, why don't you do Assassin's

1:04:47

Creed in Africa? Not even being facetious.

1:04:49

That would be base AF. You could

1:04:51

do Ghana. They're like a massive empire.

1:04:54

You could do Shaka Zulu. You

1:04:56

got awesome stories down there where I'd

1:04:58

love to play those games. Why

1:05:01

do you got to do this weird diversity

1:05:03

nonsense? It's just—it's just—come on,

1:05:05

man. It's come

1:05:07

on, man. Now I will stress,

1:05:09

I really don't care all that much. I

1:05:11

think it is a bit silly. I

1:05:14

have no problem playing the game with or without these

1:05:16

characters. It's just that

1:05:18

people feel like it's pandering,

1:05:21

and it's not—this is what people wanted

1:05:23

to play. It's an actual Japanese

1:05:25

hero in a Japanese time period. You make

1:05:27

all these white characters for all these white

1:05:29

time periods. You make Arabic character

1:05:31

for an Arabic time period, Native American in

1:05:33

an American time period, and then

1:05:35

what do we get in Asia? You

1:05:38

make it a black guy? No, no, no,

1:05:40

hold on a minute. How come you can't

1:05:42

make an Africa Assassin's Creed with many black

1:05:45

characters? I don't understand why that's an

1:05:47

issue. Why does it have to be hand-me-down? I

1:05:51

think it's racist to make it so that if you want

1:05:53

to play as a black character, it's in Japan. Y'all

1:05:56

couldn't make Kenya, Egypt.

1:06:00

made like I mentioned Ghana like there's

1:06:02

a ton of history in Africa that

1:06:04

you could do some really amazing Assassin's

1:06:06

Creed stuff they don't do it

1:06:09

whatever man I will stress this

1:06:11

as well like I don't think it's the biggest deal in the world

1:06:14

I just it's just silly how

1:06:16

they always do stuff like this so here

1:06:19

we go someone uh they're core according

1:06:21

to a former company contractor who works on the pitch the

1:06:24

game would have focused on a young monk Yamauchi

1:06:27

taka as he fought

1:06:29

to keep the sword of Eden which had been

1:06:31

lost following the assassination of Oda Nobunaga from the

1:06:33

hands of the Templars he

1:06:35

wrote I worked on some narrative elements

1:06:38

for the Sen Goku era of Japan for Assassin's

1:06:40

Creed back in 2013 and 14

1:06:43

when I worked under contract in San Jose Tokyo

1:06:46

I guess they tossed all that out for a

1:06:48

black samurai and some cannon destroying kunoichi

1:06:50

boss I'm

1:06:53

so glad I'm not in that industry anymore I

1:06:55

guess it's only fitting that my contributions to these studios

1:06:57

vanished like everything else I worked on every

1:06:59

MMO shooter I've worked on has been shut down oof brutal

1:07:02

here's a brief synopsis of the original story the

1:07:05

plot focused on the young monk Yamauchi taka as

1:07:08

the playable ancestor taka means

1:07:10

hawk to coincide with the

1:07:12

then naming convention of every playable hero being

1:07:14

named after a bird of prey no

1:07:17

idea if that changed these newer disjointed

1:07:19

games the main conflict is

1:07:21

about the sword of Eden Excalibur Hanju

1:07:25

Masamune Genghis

1:07:27

Khan sword etc and how it had been

1:07:29

given to its latest wielder Oda Nobunaga an

1:07:32

unfair advantage in his conquest of Japan and

1:07:36

after Nobunaga is assassinated by a

1:07:39

Hatori Hanzo taka becomes a

1:07:41

part of the Brotherhood and under Hanzo is trained

1:07:43

as an assassin a shinobi the

1:07:45

Brotherhood try to transport the recovered sword

1:07:47

out of Japan but are beset by

1:07:49

Jesuit Templar ship since lost to

1:07:52

make matters worse Hanzo is assassinated as he

1:07:54

considers retirement as a monk his

1:07:56

lord took a gawa leyasu

1:08:00

Chachisaka was finding the killer and recovering the sword.

1:08:02

Despite Nobunaga's successor, Toyotomi

1:08:06

Hideyoshi acquiring the sword

1:08:08

and going on a rampage that extends

1:08:10

into Korea. Hey! Haha!

1:08:12

Taka steals the sword back and

1:08:15

Mad Daimyo loses

1:08:17

his power, weakening his campaign in Korea. Incensed

1:08:21

by the theft, Toyotomi believes he was

1:08:23

betrayed by the Templars and basically exterminates

1:08:25

all the Jesuits in Japan. Taka

1:08:28

infiltrates Toyotomi's castle and faces him in a battle,

1:08:31

resulting in Toyotomi's death. The

1:08:34

ambitious Daimyo is

1:08:37

left to die as Taka slips away before his retainer

1:08:39

could intercept him. The now

1:08:41

seasoned assassin spares Toyotomi's infant

1:08:43

heir, knowing the clan has lost

1:08:45

its teeth and will eventually wither

1:08:48

without Hideyoshi. Leasu

1:08:51

begins his ambitious power grab, demanding Taka and

1:08:53

the Brotherhood give him the sword and help

1:08:55

him wipe away Abstergo in Latin. All

1:08:58

of his enemies from Japan to fully unite under

1:09:01

his clan's banners, Taka and the Brotherhood decline and

1:09:03

vanish into the shadows of the sword. Oh

1:09:05

well. Black Samurai and Kunoichi it

1:09:07

is. What a shame. Say

1:09:09

la vie. Don't buy the game if you don't like it.

1:09:12

They can do whatever they want. Here's my attitude. I

1:09:14

ain't gonna cry over Black Samurai Assassin's Creed. If that's

1:09:16

what they want to do, that's fine. That's fine. They're

1:09:18

trying to target a market. I get it. If

1:09:21

you don't want to play the game, please just don't play it. You

1:09:24

know what I mean? People are gonna complain. It's

1:09:26

like we wish Assassin's Creed carried

1:09:28

on its trend of historical pieces

1:09:31

with, you know, the people

1:09:33

who lived there as the heroes. And

1:09:37

I think they're being racist to Black people. I

1:09:39

think they're being racist to Black people and to Asians.

1:09:42

They could easily make an awesome Africa

1:09:44

Assassin's Creed that everyone would play and

1:09:46

be super excited for. They

1:09:48

could have made a Japanese one with Japanese character that

1:09:51

everyone could be excited for and play. Why

1:09:53

can't people of Japanese background

1:09:56

have a Japanese story? Why

1:09:59

can't people of African background have

1:10:01

an African story. Whatever,

1:10:03

man. I'm half

1:10:05

kidding, by the way. I think it's silly that we're

1:10:08

still in this era, but you know, have fun, play

1:10:10

your video games, and I meant to do this segment

1:10:12

as something a little bit more chill,

1:10:15

some levity. I talked about World War III

1:10:17

this morning. Let's talk about things that don't

1:10:19

really matter. Next segment's coming up tonight at

1:10:21

8pm over at youtube.com/timcast IRL. Thanks for hanging

1:10:23

out, and we'll see you all then. you
