We got new information about that leftist who got killed in New York City, and there's a lot to add to it, because there's some corrections that need to be made, and some points I wanna make. We watched the video, of course, uncensored of how it all went down, and Andy Ngo has this tweet.
00:00:01.000Welcome to our special weekend show, Sunday Uncensored.
00:00:04.000Every week we produce four uncensored episodes of the TimCast IRL podcast exclusively at TimCast.com, and we're going to bring you the most important for our weekend show.
00:00:15.000If you want to check out more segments just like this, become a member at TimCast.com.
00:00:24.000We got new information about that leftist who got killed in New York City, and there's a lot to add to it, because there's some corrections that I wanna make, and some points I wanna make.
00:00:33.000We watched the video, of course, uncensored, of how it all went down.
00:00:37.000And, uh, Andy Ngo has this tweet, which I will bring up for you.
00:00:47.000So, Andy No tweets, The police do not protect you, AKABBLM.
00:00:51.000Ryan Carson's girlfriend, Claudia V. Morales, is a cop-hating BLM activist.
00:00:55.000She was at a BLM riot in Boston 2020, blaming police for violence when they tried to arrest rioters.
00:01:01.000There's rumors going around, I don't know if these are true, that she refused to give a description to the police of the murderer, and they are now looking for this guy.
00:01:11.000What I want to add is last night I said, you know, this lady did not know basic first aid.
00:01:15.000And she just stood there and watched her boyfriend die, which is true.
00:01:19.000But there are a lot of questions that have arisen due to the money she's making.
00:01:58.000That's why they're sitting on a bench at four in the morning, and she's got her hands over her face, and they weren't really waiting for a bus.
00:02:04.000I wonder if what really happened was that they were, like, uh, sitting, you know, they're getting back from the wedding, they're talking, and they say, we need to talk, and they end up sitting outside having a long conversation, or something like that happened.
00:02:52.000They could be just also exhausted and tired after partying and hammered and drunk and just having their hands in their face after traveling, you know, from Long Island, which is a long trek from New York City.
00:03:05.000People are sharing a picture where, allegedly her, in front of a license plate that says K. Marks.
00:03:11.000So Andy Ngo posted this video, but this is the censored version, of course.
00:03:16.000And, uh... I just think the whole thing's really strange.
00:03:46.000Again, I don't know exactly what's going on here.
00:03:49.000I think we can interpret things in many different ways, but this is, you know, a big incident that I think a lot of people are using politically.
00:03:59.000I think it deserves to be called out, but I think we're still connecting the dots here to the larger meaning of all of this, other than the political ramifications.
00:04:10.000Also, for the record, Seamus just ran away with his tail between his legs.
00:04:14.000If you put his camera on, you could see that he When I found out that she raised all this money, I was immediately like, she doesn't give a shit about this guy.
00:04:22.000and staying away from any kind of debate or real serious conversation since he is not a proper adult.
00:04:27.000When I found out that she raised all this money, I was immediately like,
00:04:31.000she ain't give a shit about this guy. She's just like, ooh, I can make money off this.
00:04:36.000It's hard to say, because you could always, you know, interpret the worst, you could always interpret the best, but let's do the steel man and the straw man argument here.
00:04:46.000You know, let's do the best case scenario and the worst case scenario.
00:04:50.000Her boyfriend was stabbed and killed in front of her, and then she goes on the internet and says, please donate money to me so I don't have to work anymore.
00:04:58.000want to do them any favors, right? If you want to do them any kind of legitimacy
00:05:02.000and you want to connect the dots in a favorable way, you could say they were
00:05:06.000hammered, they were drunk, they were disoriented, they didn't know what was
00:05:08.000going on. She was in shock after seeing Knife. After having her
00:05:14.000boyfriend stabbed and having a guy spit at her and cursed at her, she probably
00:05:18.000is dealing with a lot of trauma. Again, I'm just saying, hey, if we're gonna
00:06:10.000Look, what really triggers me about this is that I have been in many high-risk situations in my life where fucking idiots have nearly gotten me killed.
00:06:22.000When I see shit like this, I just get really, really pissed off.
00:06:30.000I said the other day that he may have had a sucking chest wound, and it's so crazy because she could have saved his life if she just had heard one sentence from a first aid training course, but the police said the knife went to his heart.
00:07:32.000And there's an ABC News producer looking around going, those fireworks?
00:07:35.000Now that stuff never put me at risk, but it's infuriating to see that, because I know that if that dude gets shot, I'm the one who's got to stand up with active gunshots and try and save this motherfucker's life.
00:07:48.000But I've actually been in circumstances like when I was in Venezuela, when a crowd of people started screaming and running for dear life from the National Guard, who were armed and had been reportedly shooting at students earlier, And when I told these guys, go now, west, and I start running perpendicular to where the National Guard and where the protests are, they stood there like fucking morons.
00:08:12.000And after I took cover, they walk over like, what's happening?
00:09:46.000So I get in- I- I get in- in- in- in rides every so often when I'm in Chicago with these- these, you know, yuppie western suburb skateboarder guys.
00:09:54.000And oh, they get so bent out of shape when we're in Chicago and someone cuts them off or brake checks them and they start screaming and flipping people off.
00:10:02.000I- Shut your fucking mouth right now, dude.
00:10:05.000You don't know what you are getting yourself into when you flick off the wrong person.
00:10:10.000You, being emotionally satisfied with your middle finger, could trigger some fucking lunatic to pull out a gun and put a bullet in your head for no fucking reason.
00:10:17.000On the south side of Chicago, you insult someone, they kill you.
00:10:24.000But these people who are pampered and grew up in these cushy areas don't get it.
00:10:27.000Now to be fair, I also had friends in the western suburbs who are the exact opposite.
00:10:31.000And, you know, I'm driving through the west side of Chicago on my way to the skate park, and I had one friend who was, like, hyperventilating in panic, and I'm like, dude, calm down.
00:10:39.000Like, yes, I totally get how bad it could be.
00:10:46.000For one, my personal experience is that people who have put me at risk give me a personal bias.
00:10:51.000But the reason we are seeing high crime, the reason why there's a story about a father of three being shot in the head and killed, I'm sorry dude.
00:11:14.000When I do everything right, and I'm like, I'm not even talking about war zones, because I know my capabilities, I know my limitations.
00:11:20.000When it came to the conflict stuff I would cover, I'd say, if it goes full-scale war, I'm gone before that happens, because I don't have the skills or abilities for that.
00:11:28.000You've got to get someone with actual military experience to cover these stories.
00:11:39.000But I try to do things right to make sure that I'm not putting anybody else at risk.
00:11:42.000But the people in these cities, Who are too stupid to realize someone just got stabbed several times in the chest and just stands there saying, get him, get him.
00:11:49.000And then she doesn't even call the police because she hates the police.
00:11:52.000They are putting everyone at New York at risk.
00:11:55.000They are causing these mass exoduses from these cities.
00:11:58.000They are making the problem of crime worse.
00:12:00.000They are making you, good law-abiding citizen who does everything right to keep your family safe, they are putting you at risk.
00:12:07.000There's a Daily Mail article and screenshot of it going around talking about how this Ryan Carson guy would, quote, feel sorry for violent teenager who stabbed them to death and think of him as victim of a broken system, says friends.
00:12:43.000They are the facilitators of the crisis, and I just...
00:12:52.000I-I-I-I can't have sympathy for these people who are, you know, pouring gasoline.
00:12:56.000I-I watch a video where a guy throws a gas can onto a fire and it explodes and bur- and he bursts into flames, and I'm like, that sucks, man.
00:13:21.000But for all the turkeys that perhaps one day saw the rain and looked up and held their mouths open and drowned, well, Now there's no more of the turkeys that do that, I guess.
00:13:30.000The point is, we keep trying to save people who are mentally deficient.
00:13:37.000I don't consider myself conservative, but this is a point I bring up to many of them, as you're like, you're desperately trying to save the lives of people who hate you and are so stupid, they're like lemmings walking off a cliff.
00:13:47.000And the conservatives are like, yes, because we value human life.
00:13:49.000And I'm like, okay, well, you realize the problem is twofold.
00:13:52.000Psychopaths who are setting fire to the system, and conservatives desperately trying to save their lives.
00:13:57.000I don't know what else to tell you, man.
00:13:58.000I'm not making a prescriptive statement here.
00:14:00.000I'm not telling you what you should or shouldn't do.
00:14:02.000I'm saying if you preserve the lives of people who are setting fire to your house, you will have more house fires.
00:14:08.000Mike, do you think there's any saving these people, or do you think they're lost causes?
00:14:13.000You know, it's getting so systemic now, this...
00:14:20.000This type of story, I mean, I almost remember when it became a novel occurrence and like, whoa, they really believe, they've really drunk their own, you know, sort of, I don't know, LSD mixed drink.
00:14:37.000You know, and now I feel like I see these type of stories every week and You know, there's almost no amount... I wonder if they don't see the surveillance videos in their own news ecosystem to even understand the scale at which these types of things are happening.
00:15:01.000By the way, this criminal's still not been arrested yet, right?
00:15:05.000I mean, this guy's irises are locked on to the surveillance.
00:15:08.000I mean, why do we have Big Daddy National Security State scanning us at the airport?
00:15:14.000If the only one thing I could think of, if someone is literally on camera committing first, you know, second-degree murder, I mean, you could argue it's crime, passion, whatever, but this is like this is a daily occurrence and the rates at which people
00:15:32.000don't get caught or punished for this is part and parcel of this like anarcho-tyranny system
00:15:39.000where you have a justice department that it makes you feel helpless but then there's so many other
00:15:51.000illegitimacies about our system currently that you know you almost wonder if there are sort
00:17:28.000But that's the thing, that was the Trump administration.
00:17:30.000You don't see these rent-a-riot things popping up around the Biden administration.
00:17:36.000And I had this distinct feeling, sorry I'll make this shorter, but I had this weird feeling when I was walking around D.C.
00:17:42.000this week, when I came to it, where I thought, Oh my god, imagine a populist Republican like Trump winning power again and you are literally under street paramilitary siege on the block adjoining you.
00:18:05.000If, uh, you were standing outside of a house, and a guy walks past you with a can of gasoline, and he says that he's gonna go in there and burn that house to the ground, and you know, and so you're like, hold on, so you walk up to the, you walk up to the, you know, the window, and you look inside, and there's this guy dumping gasoline all over the place, and there's another guy.
00:18:25.000A leftist activist standing there watching him do it with a shocked look on his face, shaking his head, and then the activist goes, do you need any matches?
00:18:33.000And the guy's like, actually, yeah, I do.
00:18:35.000And the guy walks to the door, lights the match, sets the house on fire with the activist still inside, who then begins screaming for help.
00:18:41.000Do you run inside to help the activist?
00:19:05.000And you know you're probably the only one who can save that person's life.
00:19:09.000But that person did, you know, helped facilitate the shooter, instigated the fight, screamed at him and swore, and started it.
00:19:18.000Do you say to yourself, you know what, I'm going to run full speed out of this and stay away from it and let them deal with it?
00:19:24.000Or do you say, I have to save this person's life even though they did cause this?
00:19:30.000I think for me I've come to the point where after actually experiencing a lot of this, I was always so angry because I felt an obligation to keep the people around me safe, even if I didn't know them, especially in these conflict situations.
00:19:43.000And then I got to a point where I was just like, I cannot get myself killed because the chicken ran full speed into the car's grill.
00:19:58.000If it's an innocent person who was caught in an accident, yeah, but...
00:20:03.000Yeah, this is tough because, you know, in this case, there's something so terrifying about it, to me, because you look at that and you look at the obvious mistakes that were made, as you mentioned, in terms of situational awareness, and you want to say, I wouldn't do that in that situation.
00:21:01.000Like, I could see a situation where you, you know, you dot your I's and you cross your T's and just... What this is now is a systemic thing that we have with the philosophy on crime, with the philosophy on law enforcement, with the underpinnings of, you know, this guy's philosophy that is more what I focus on when I see the video.
00:21:26.000Even if police were strengthened and funded, these things still happen.
00:21:31.000You know, Luke's got a sign saying I'd rather have a gun in my hand than a cop on the phone.
00:21:36.000And so the reason why things like this are substantially less likely to happen to, say, any one of us here is we're more likely to have guns at the time.
00:21:45.000So, first of all, you know, I go through this video and I watched like a deep analysis explaining what happened and it's just like, this soft, delicate man of liberal sensibilities had zero situational awareness.
00:23:58.000Turn around, and slowly back away in a defensive position, and say nothing, and just slowly back the fuck away.
00:24:03.000Instead, he engages with him, shoves him, fights him, and doesn't even know there's a bench next to him, and then trips over it, smacks his face on it, falls over, and is murdered.
00:25:32.000And then it's like, she's talking about all the entrepreneurial things she did.
00:25:35.000The other women are just like saying they do porn and stuff.
00:25:37.000But there's a business opportunity right now to create private pod schools.
00:25:43.000You make a website, you make business cards, you put up flyers, you buy ads online, get some nice production quality, and you find some teachers, or if you're a teacher yourself, and say, sign up for our pod classes today, where the teacher comes to, you know, you and your friends will get together, and then they have a private tutoring session for all the kids together, and that's a big business opportunity right now.
00:26:04.000I think you'd make yourself a millionaire.
00:26:06.000Download an app, or I should say, make an app called like PodLearner, where you can
00:26:12.000effectively scroll through tutors and teachers, and they can explain their values and the
00:26:18.000things they teach, and it's like Uber for teaching for your kids.
00:26:31.000I think you would be very happy to see what she's doing.
00:26:34.000She's one of the biggest advocates of homeschooling, but also radical homeschooling.
00:26:40.000She does it in a very interesting way.
00:26:41.000It might not work for everyone, but I think those concepts are worth kind of looking into and delving into as of course she deals with a lot of the hippy dippy stuff that I think is important to kind of look at.
00:26:58.000One thing I wanted to add about it, too, is adding a feature of kind of like an area search, kind of like what Public School has, which I think would be pretty cool to have on there.
00:27:10.000I mean, honestly, Public School could easily just add that function.
00:27:14.000Michael Seifert's going to be here tomorrow.
00:27:20.000You know, I wonder to what degree they could add this kind of search.
00:27:23.000If they really want to be, like, the anti-Amazon, then services should be a big component.
00:27:28.000And being able to search, I mean, that right there I think will take Public Square to the next level.
00:27:34.000If you can load up the app and be like, I need a masseuse, I need a teacher, I need a car mechanic, and then you can find, like, that's huge, man.
00:27:42.000If you need a trade done, right now, we're struggling with, like, how do we find contractors?
00:29:01.000So one of the biggest stories, biggest developments in online freedom, certainly from a public perspective at least, has been Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter.
00:29:11.000And so in the wake of that, there's been a debate about what Elon Musk's true intentions are.
00:29:20.000Some people think he has an ulterior motive or he's like secretly working for someone or whatever.
00:29:25.000It seems that to me, especially with some of his recent things that he's been tweeting and retweeting, I kind of think that maybe he's for real.
00:29:35.000I want to ask, with your experience, what do you think?
00:29:40.000Yeah, well, it's something very similar to you.
00:29:42.000I wrote a piece right when he announced the acquisition with my sort of hope for him, but some of the skepticism about being able... We have seen many warriors in this arena with initially noble intentions, Let me back up for a second.
00:30:04.000The obvious, I don't know if you said this explicitly, but there have been, there's obvious analogies of the X the Everything app to this sort of Weibo, China, I think at one point, I hope I'm not misquoting this, but I think at one point there was a reference to Musk saying something like, oh, China has this thing which is super convenient, it's everything in one app, why doesn't the United States have something like that?
00:30:31.000It's very easy to draw a straight line between that and something like digital ID and a sort of China-style state control over the interlinkage between communications and commerce that China has because Weibo is their everything app.
00:30:51.000That being said, the... Musk's ability to withstand the pain box, to borrow a Darren Beattie term, has been remarkable at almost every turn, and where it has not, you can understand how there may be a long-term strategy with some forms of compromise.
00:31:15.000And if I have the space to flesh it out, I'll... Yeah, so...
00:31:20.000So right away, the first thing that he did was get rid of this ad council and a lot of the entanglements that organizations like the ADL and some related activist groups had at the company. Now, ADL struck back and cost Twitter about
00:31:42.00065% of their advertisers, just like they had cost Facebook two years earlier $60
00:31:47.000billion in ad revenue, together with a bunch of State Department-funded NGOs, to bring a
00:31:52.000double-digit billionaire, Zuckerberg, There's the question of whether triple digits may be enough to withstand that coordinated civil society encirclement tactic.
00:32:03.000But in addition to doing that, you've had, I mean, just take what happened a week ago.
00:32:09.000Aaron Rodricks, who was the head of this election disinformation unit, you know, they called it election integrity, but it was just election censorship.
00:32:19.000The guy had made statements totally backing government-run censorship out of CISA at DHS.
00:32:26.000The guy was deeply connected to a CIA censorship network which has been in place at basically all platforms and have been protected because they're instruments of the national security state in terms of who this person was and where he was drawing recruits from.
00:32:44.000And I could see that being a hard call to get rid of that because this was a network tied to intelligence.
00:32:54.000Musk caught flak from all the mainstream media when this guy got fired.
00:32:58.000In fact, even the EU Commission weighed in and said, you know, the firing of this election integrity team is one more reason why X needs to be subjected to the Digital Services Act on disinformation and brought in to make sure that they're censoring the appropriate material.
00:33:14.000But, like, Musk could have opted not to do those things, and, you know, conservatives or centrists or center-left, you know, reasonable liberals would still be on X. I think that he's He's made compromises with Linda Yaccarino in terms of bringing her in.
00:33:35.000I think that there are things that are being done to court back advertisers, which are in opposition to the tenets of free speech.
00:33:41.000And I think actually building that infrastructure on ad money is like building a castle on sand.
00:33:48.000But on the whole, I have not yet seen someone in the tech space who has been this brave.
00:33:57.000And people were up against far less than what Musk is.
00:34:09.000Yeah, actually, if Elon Musk turns out to be for real, if all the pain he's going through turns out to be real, that's incredibly inspiring.
00:34:21.000I don't know, if you could wish upon a star and have a free agent software developer do anything, build anything to impact the current environment, what would that be?
00:34:35.000I would have that person actually take things out rather than... I would have that person look at the code on all of the, you know, database of words related to brand safety and hate speech and misdisc and malinformation.
00:34:51.000You know, one of the big tasks in front of the company right now at the technological level to take on censorship is that There was such an enormous Jenga tower built within the code itself of all the different trust and safety fillers of all the different targeted communities and all their little proxy words representing them.
00:35:09.000Everything from elections, public health, to energy, to immigration, to abortion.
00:35:14.000I mean, regardless of what you feel about those as substantive issues, the fact is, you know, a software engineer can kill an entire idea with a couple lines of code And the discourse is rigged, the public square is slanted on one side of every one of these issues because of the work of these programmers.
00:35:42.000Now they make their own decisions, they were following the social science and the corporate people, but we need smart, talented software engineers who can read that code and can understand the way it's It's entire architecture is constructed into really peel back those layers to get back to a system of political neutrality and social neutrality that was the hallmark of the early internet.
00:37:09.000I may be misremembering, but I think there's a funny Bill Burr joke around watching somebody do a dunk from the foul line and saying, oh, you know, why didn't I think of that?
00:37:26.000Yeah, so, it's a combination of things, right?
00:37:29.000You plug someone in, uh, what is this?
00:37:31.000Well, the guy doubting muscle memory has never done intense physical training before.
00:37:39.000Your muscles break down, and they rebuild themselves stronger, and in specific ways that target the things you are trying to do.
00:37:47.000Skateboarders' center of gravities shift lower because they exercise their legs more than their upper body, creating heavier legs, whereas the typical person's legs make up one-third of their weight.
00:37:56.000For a lot of skateboarders, their legs are half their weight because they're exercising these muscles and not their upper body.
00:38:00.000So their upper body stays small and their legs get heavier, but a lower center of gravity improves balance.
00:38:27.000My question is mostly for Mike, but the whole panel can answer.
00:38:31.000How do we as viewers and consumers on the Internet help in the censorship war beyond just watching and interacting with those that go against the grain?
00:38:40.000Is there more that we can do than just interacting when we don't have money to give?
00:38:45.000Yeah, well, first I would say don't undersell the power of just interacting.
00:38:51.000Oftentimes, what's available strategically isn't possible until enough people are interacting that your elected representatives get the opportunity to be heroes for a large number of people because it's on the tip of everyone's tongues.
00:39:06.000Oftentimes, just talking about it is what provides the baseline.
00:39:12.000talk for many years about the importance of understanding censorship not as an act but as an industry which is to say that rather than looking at censorship as being the act that a you know that somebody at facebook does at the at a at the very end of a of a funnel understand the economics of of the universities, the NGOs, the foundations, the private sector mercenary firms, the media literacy and fact-checker programs, and the government departments, which are providing funding in 12 different departments right now, over a hundred million over the past year, subsidizing a censorship industry with 200,000 censorship jobs that would not exist without that funding, and the capacity to carry out the censorship
00:39:58.000is something that can be targeted in a way that is sometimes more effective than trying to, you know, long-arm influence over some mechanical Turk scrolling through, you know, content flagged, you know, at a minimum wage job in a factory in Bangladesh.
00:40:19.000And what I'm trying to say by that, though, is it It takes a lot of work and a lot of talking to get enough people to understand the industry and the market of the censorship industry and all the different actors and players involved.
00:40:34.000And that requires people constantly talking about it so that when you use a phrase like that, it's not some foreign concept.
00:40:40.000So there's a linguistic fluency that has to be developed.
00:40:43.000There's a sort of news attention to the stories.
00:40:48.000They have to be shared with friends and family.
00:40:51.000You have to lend your spirit energy to that.
00:40:53.000But at the same time, there's a multi-front offensive on this.
00:40:57.000There's a Supreme Court case right now which could deliver a knockout blow, potentially, to multiple government agencies' ability to participate in the censorship.
00:41:08.000market and actions there's There's multiple congressional investigations.
00:41:13.000There's there's media events like the Twitter files and in an improved literacy within a lot of conservative news about some of these institutions that were only little known before some of them like the Stanford Aaron Observatory or the global disinformation index and in a coterie of many many others, but I wouldn't undersell if you are not Well-resourced.
00:41:36.000If you are not well-connected, if you don't have the sort of commanding assets of somebody who can make a material difference through doubles and triples and home run swings as an analogy, don't undersell relentlessly batting for singles in terms of amplifying things.
00:41:54.000You would be surprised with what one year of just small ball, doing your little part, when enough people start doing that, the minnows start to look a lot bigger than the shark.
00:42:25.000So my questions, they actually span from last night's show to this night, and I think they're pressing it to today.
00:42:34.000But I don't know if you guys seen this at the vote for the ousting of McCarthy, but what are your thoughts on the representative from North Dakota, Kelly Armstrong, his sleazy attack on Matt Gaetz for being at the Democrat podium?
00:42:50.000I think it was planned to push him over there and then make him look like that was not credible and traitorous by siding with the Dems.
00:43:17.000The reason why this is happening is because we're sick of these people and there's enough of us who are not so much Democrat Republican, but anti-establishment.
00:43:26.000So they can say whatever the fuck they want.
00:44:01.000This actually goes to something you said last night.
00:44:04.000Do you know that if there's no government, people will form groups to protect themselves, their families, and their property, and order it in a collective manner to defend against every group?
00:44:24.000So you got to understand what the leftists do with their ideology and the progress that they have made comes because they're willing to ask for a lot more and they're willing to of course compromise along the way.
00:44:36.000I think we as People on the opposite side of that.
00:44:39.000I think the Republicans have been cucked so fucking badly.
00:44:46.000I think we should be asking for everything.
00:44:50.000We can make concessions along the way, but I think the biggest solution that's going to come through all the bullshit that we're facing is decentralization.
00:44:58.000So obviously, anarchy to me is the end goal.
00:45:07.000But I think we should still ask for more and push the goalposts a lot further down the field than, of course, what these other soft-handed, soft-ass, pussy-ass, bitch Republicans are fucking doing, saying, hey guys, please, we're just going to implement your policies 10 years after you guys do it.
00:45:57.000How about the right comes out and says, we want to abolish the ATF outright, and we want to... Here's what we do.
00:46:05.000Republican... See, you know, if I was in Congress, I'd be doing all sorts of crazy-ass bullshit.
00:46:10.000File a, you know, get a bill and committee and whatever, and I know it probably won't even go to the floor, but this is why you need to win the speakership.
00:46:17.000You need to get someone in there who will do it.
00:46:21.000Government universal gun ownership funded by the government.
00:46:25.000We would fund the creation of the gun distribution, you know, the Department of Gun Services, the DGS, where anyone at the age of 16 can, after completing gun safety courses, get their government-issued handgun and or rifle.
00:46:47.000Actually, no, I think it's probably better if you're 16, you complete the course, you get an AR-15 with a 30-round mag and a box of ammo, and then if you're 18, you only have to just walk in, and there's no requirements other than you're only allowed to get one.
00:47:02.000The point of this is, when the Democrats lose their minds and freak out, then the Republicans will go, okay, okay, okay, fine.
00:47:08.000How about we just Instead of giving people the guns, we remove the restrictions on 30-round magazines, etc.
00:47:31.000My point is, if Republicans come out and say, we want universal gun ownership, Look at what happens when Democrats are like, we want universal healthcare and stuff.
00:47:41.000They get a compromise bill that Republicans, they get Obamacare, Republicans won't repeal it.
00:47:46.000Okay, Republicans, how about you advocate for universal gun ownership and create the Department of Gun Services where anyone can just walk in and get one free gun, and you know, one free, one free AR-15, and then when they're like, no, we won't do that, guns are bad, we say, okay, okay, fine, fine, we won't give them out for free, we'll just create the Department of Gun Services where people can buy guns with no restrictions.
00:49:57.000Can you flesh that out a little, a little more?
00:49:58.000I mean, when you say a federation, I mean, there's, there's an implication, but I want to make sure I'm not like drawing.
00:50:03.000I mean, you're, you're basically talking about sort of like a governance super state of comprised of NATO countries, but it's sort of federated at a regional level.
00:50:35.000So like each state can do their own internal thing, but on the federal level, everyone gets
00:50:42.000together on the same economic or military policies.
00:50:46.000Well, okay, can I just jump in real quick, because I think I was confused by the question, because I don't see...
00:50:56.000I'm not making an opinion for or against NATO when I say this.
00:51:00.000I don't see a difference between the current construction of NATO and what you're talking about.
00:51:04.000You understand that even to join NATO, you need to go through market reforms.
00:51:09.000You need to change your political system with a bunch of democracy reforms.
00:51:13.000You need to basically fit yourself into a cookie cutter slot of the existing NATO structure.
00:51:20.000And if you understand how our own sort of military works and our own intelligence and State Department is organized, It is very much like, you know, like the, we are a transatlantic empire.
00:51:32.000Like we are not, you know, uh, the, the, the, you can call us nominally sovereign, uh, but we don't do things unless it's, we have the transatlantic consensus, even if we need to mold that through UK and Brussels partners with, with more satellite NATO countries.
00:51:50.000But the fact is, is like NATO is already very much a federation.
00:51:55.000Oh no, what I mean is closer governance.
00:51:59.000I mean, yeah, I completely agree with what you're saying already.
00:52:03.000That's why I'm saying, and I believe in that idea, that it should be closer, because that's realistically what we're going to end up doing in the next 300 years, or the rest of the world burns.
00:52:16.000Are you uh, it's yeah, I just I'm trying to understand if you're maybe look thinking of it more like the
00:52:21.000European union of some sort or if I'm maybe in misunderstanding
00:52:25.000Uh, it's in like more more coordinated more coordinated decisions. I'm just trying to understand what you mean
00:53:22.000No, I mean, look, I mean, China's rise is not a military story.
00:53:27.000I mean, they have defensive capacities, primarily in the South China Sea and the ability to be a sort of porcupine that you don't want to necessarily, you know, engage with because of their You know, they have offensive strike capabilities, but they're not like a military base.
00:54:20.000There's one last thing I wanted to say before I let you guys discuss this amongst yourselves.
00:54:29.000One of the things I would definitely support in the constitution, and the only way I would like it if in this system, is that the only way to run or vote is if you've done some form of civic duty.
00:54:41.000Whether it be military, you first responder 24 hours of community service, or have passed a civic test.
00:54:50.000Or, yeah, like, have I said in the medical field?
00:54:55.000Or like any of those things are important to the state and community.
00:54:59.000I get that, but sociopaths lie all the time and will go through the motions to get the qualifications.
00:55:05.000The issue is, are the people actually invested in this?
00:55:09.000That's why I think it makes more sense to require the people to have done some service in order to vote for a person.
00:55:14.000For me, personally, I think you have to be an animal if you want to be a politician, and I think we should vote in our favorite animals, and I think they would do a way better job than our politicians.
00:55:23.000That's probably true, and it's like, my attitude is kinda like, I'm not an anarchist, I think there's some government that's good, but the reality is our politicians are balls, bullshit, suck-ass, they're trash, and a dog would do better by doing nothing.
00:55:39.000But I do think that there's some good functions of government in terms of border security, national defense, and interstate conflict resolution through the Supreme Court and things like that.
00:55:50.000The problem is, politicians are corrupt assholes, and if we replaced Congress with a bunch of golden retrievers, congressional approval rating would hit 100%, and there would be less problems.
