Transcript

00:00:00.000 The judge in the case of Donald Trump's eligibility in 2024 happening in Colorado turns out to
00:00:15.000 be a donor to Democrats and not just to Democrats.
00:00:19.000 Now, I love this.
00:00:20.000 I think it was PBS, there was a news outlet that said that there was concern because she had donated to liberal groups.
00:00:25.000 She donated to a PAC that's specifically trying to remove Republicans who supported Trump on January 6th.
00:00:31.000 And now, she is overseeing a case where, because of January 6th, Democrats are arguing Trump is not eligible to be president.
00:00:40.000 So if you thought this one was going to be fair, surprise, surprise.
00:00:42.000 Now we're hearing that Minnesota and Michigan are going to have similar challenges so that will be
00:00:47.000 particularly interesting. We'll talk about that plus, oh man, you know, normally at this stage of the game,
00:00:52.000 I don't really care too much to talk about Ron DeSantis, but he did disappear on the Patrick BetDavid
00:00:58.000 Valuetainment podcast where he was called out for wearing high heels. We got it.
00:01:02.000 We got to talk about this story because this one's man.
00:01:05.000 I think he's wearing high heels.
00:01:06.000 And I think this this actually, you know, Patrick, but David absolutely calls him out.
00:01:06.000 I really do.
00:01:12.000 We got a bunch of other stories.
00:01:13.000 The U.S.
00:01:14.000 is building a bigger bomb, a very, very big nuclear weapon, new gravity bomb.
00:01:18.000 And we'll talk about that as well as Trump's being gagged.
00:01:21.000 And then we're going to talk about this hockey story.
00:01:23.000 That's going massively viral that you may have seen, where a hockey player got clipped in the neck by a skate, and it looks like, if you look at the video, that the other player intentionally kicked him, and this dude died, apparently, like, very quickly in the ring.
00:01:39.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:02:44.000 Hello, how are you?
00:02:45.000 What do you do?
00:02:45.000 Who are you?
00:02:46.000 It's great to be here.
00:02:47.000 I do political commentary.
00:02:49.000 I have a podcast where we do that, and that's pretty much what I do.
00:02:52.000 I raise money for campaigns as well.
00:02:53.000 Right on.
00:02:54.000 Is there a campaign you're working with right now?
00:02:55.000 The lady right next to us.
00:02:56.000 Who's this?
00:02:57.000 Laverne Spicer.
00:02:58.000 Laverne, would you like to introduce yourself?
00:03:01.000 Sure.
00:03:02.000 I'm Laverne Spicer, and I'm a candidate for District 24 in Miami.
00:03:08.000 Right on.
00:03:09.000 What do you do outside of running for office?
00:03:11.000 Are you professionally?
00:03:13.000 Well, 20 plus years ago I started a food bank after my mentor died.
00:03:21.000 Started a food bank and we provide food for people that are facing food insecurity and we feed thousands of needy families each and every week.
00:03:32.000 We help the mothers that are going through a hard time.
00:03:35.000 We give them baby pampers.
00:03:37.000 clothing, whatever we need.
00:03:39.000 So we're like a one-stop shop so far as whatever the community needs we are there to support those that are really having a hard time.
00:03:48.000 Right on.
00:03:48.000 And we got Phil and Hannah Clare hanging out.
00:03:51.000 Hannah Clare?
00:03:52.000 I don't know where the camera's going.
00:03:53.000 I'm not sure.
00:03:54.000 Go ahead.
00:03:54.000 You go first.
00:03:55.000 I missed you, Phil.
00:03:55.000 You're back from California.
00:03:57.000 Yes, I am Phil Labonte, very failed musician, anti-communist, counter-revolutionary.
00:04:03.000 And Hannah Clare's here.
00:04:03.000 Okay, I'm Hannah Clare Brimlow.
00:04:05.000 I'm a writer for TimCast.com.
00:04:06.000 You should follow at TimCastNews on the social medias because it's the best.
00:04:10.000 And Serge is here.
00:04:11.000 Yes, I am here.
00:04:12.000 Congratulations, guys.
00:04:13.000 We have the cup again, and I just wanted to rub it in New Zealand's face for once.
00:04:17.000 So, yes.
00:04:18.000 Well, alright, that's very important news, but let's jump to the story from the New York Times.
00:04:23.000 Colorado trial considers whether the 14th Amendment disqualifies Trump.
00:04:27.000 Some constitutional experts argue that a clause in the amendment should bar Donald J. Trump from becoming president again, but that view is far from universal among legal scholars.
00:04:37.000 Now the big story that they're not getting into in a lot of these articles, one article just said, the judge donated to liberals.
00:04:44.000 Here's the tweet from Mike Davis.
00:04:46.000 He says, New Denver District Judge Sarah Wallace, a Democrat donor, commits reversible error by refusing to recuse from Trump January 6th case after donating to anti-Trump January 6th PAC.
00:04:58.000 So let's just get to the specifics here.
00:05:00.000 On October 15th, 2022, Sarah Wallace donated to the Colorado Turnout Project, a political action committee formed to vote out Republicans who supported Trump on January 6th, 2021.
00:05:12.000 And quite literally, yes.
00:05:13.000 Now, specifically in Colorado, but that's what they're saying.
00:05:16.000 They say, we formed shortly after Colorado Republicans refused to condemn the political extremists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th.
00:05:21.000 In fact, Republican Rep.
00:05:23.000 Lauren Boebert even encouraged the violence.
00:05:25.000 That's not true.
00:05:25.000 She did not encourage violence.
00:05:27.000 It's absurd.
00:05:28.000 But that's what their argument is.
00:05:30.000 And with those lies, the judge in this case has donated to this organization and is now overseeing the question of whether or not Trump should be removed.
00:05:40.000 So, you know, if you thought there was going to be a fair hearing on this one, you were wrong.
00:05:44.000 Now it may be, for political reasons, the judge can't just say Trump is off the ballot, but Michigan is next, and here's the best part in Michigan, the challenge is not with Donald Trump.
00:05:54.000 Someone sued the Secretary of State, saying that Trump should be removed, and when Trump's lawyers tried to intervene saying like, hey, there's no insurrection here, they said you have no standing, you are not party to this lawsuit.
00:06:06.000 Now that's a clever one.
00:06:07.000 Next up is Minnesota, and I'll tell you what I think.
00:06:11.000 I think, uh, some point next year, there is a strong probability that one state will unilaterally, at the last minute, take Trump's name off the ballot.
00:06:20.000 And here's the important thing.
00:06:21.000 I was mentioning this earlier on the Tim Pool Daily Show, my morning podcast.
00:06:25.000 A lot of people are like, yeah, but where are they going to succeed with one of these things, right?
00:06:29.000 Is it going to be a swing state, and then like a Democrat district judge says, you know, okay, Trump's off the ballot, but then the state challenges it, and it's, no.
00:06:36.000 Imagine a state like California takes Trump's name off the ballot, and then, let's say Trump does win, but he loses the popular vote by 5 to 10 million votes.
00:06:46.000 The Democrats are then going to say, see, look, Trump, how does he win the presidency but lose the popular vote by 10 million?
00:06:53.000 And it's because in states with massive Republican populations like California, but they're so heavily Democrat, they can remove his name from the ballot.
00:07:00.000 Trump doesn't get the general Republican votes in a decent amount.
00:07:04.000 And then it looks like Trump did not actually win the popular vote because they removed him.
00:07:09.000 That's another game they might play, but I'm curious what y'all think.
00:07:12.000 All you need is one state.
00:07:14.000 If you get one state, you have precedent, and then the other ones can go and follow suit.
00:07:18.000 If they do that, I mean, we're so third world at that point.
00:07:21.000 The fact that this is even being considered, this judge should be thrown off the case.
00:07:25.000 You donate to a PAC that is focused, they're only focused on Boebert in Colorado, but they're actually focused on everybody with the mentality that Trump won the election.
00:07:33.000 Anybody that's MAGA, they want out.
00:07:35.000 Well, she donated money to it.
00:07:36.000 She should be thrown so far off the case.
00:07:38.000 She says that she doesn't remember.
00:07:40.000 I mean, that's the quote that Colorado Public Radio is running with, that she donated $100, and her justification was, well, I don't remember making that donation, and I didn't know what the mission of this organization was.
00:07:49.000 Well, she's too stupid.
00:07:50.000 She needs to fix her memory.
00:07:51.000 It doesn't seem like a great judge, right?
00:07:53.000 This is questionable all around.
00:07:56.000 I think that's the point, though.
00:07:57.000 The substance of the case doesn't really matter.
00:08:03.000 It's obviously that they're after Trump.
00:08:06.000 They're looking for any excuse they can come up with.
00:08:09.000 So, I mean, I don't have a whole ton to add just because it's blatant and clear.
00:08:15.000 And the idea that the American public accepts it is probably the most The thing that I have the most problem with is not just that this is happening, it's that people are so disengaged and uninterested or comfortable with this type of behavior.
00:08:32.000 It means that the fundamental ideals that our country are founded on People don't have any respect for him at all anymore.
00:08:39.000 No massive protests out there.
00:08:41.000 No, nothing.
00:08:41.000 Nobody's even talking about it.
00:08:42.000 I think you have to give credit to Jason Miller, who's with the Trump campaign, who was the one who was like, this is happening.
00:08:48.000 This judge donated to this cause.
00:08:50.000 Right.
00:08:50.000 And it's one of the only quotes that I have seen circulated at all.
00:08:53.000 I mean, this detail that she has donated, that she is essentially a biased judge from the beginning and we know about it.
00:08:59.000 And she was the one to decide, well, I'm not going to accuse myself.
00:09:02.000 And I think this is the type of case that they'll just try over and over again until something sticks.
00:09:02.000 It's crazy.
00:09:08.000 And if it's not this, if they run into 14th Amendment arguments, they'll shift to another claim against Trump.
00:09:13.000 So look, Trump's lawyers argued if they're even going to pursue this argument, Trump has to have been convicted under the federal statute pertaining to rebellion and insurrection specifically created to deal with the 14th Amendment.
00:09:26.000 And he has not been.
00:09:27.000 They're doing it anyway.
00:09:28.000 And and already the judge said, no, it doesn't matter.
00:09:32.000 I think she should recuse herself from this case, and when it comes to him, it's like justice is blind.
00:09:39.000 They do whatever they want to do.
00:09:40.000 Nobody is protesting.
00:09:42.000 Nobody is fighting against it or anything.
00:09:45.000 It's time for people to stand up and stop being afraid.
00:09:48.000 We got to stick together.
00:09:50.000 We got to fight through this, because if they could do that to him, then which one of us is next?
00:09:55.000 Oh, worse than that, right?
00:09:57.000 What they can do to Trump, they can do to you tenfold.
00:09:58.000 Uh-huh.
00:09:59.000 They'll just come and shoot us in the head.
00:10:01.000 The New York Times says Judge Wallace has laid out nine topics to be addressed at the trial, which is scheduled to last all week.
00:10:07.000 They include whether Section 3 of the 14th Amendment applies to presidents, what engaged and insurrection mean in that section, whether Mr. Trump's actions fit those definitions, and whether the amendment is self-executing.
00:10:20.000 In other words, whether it can be applied without specific action by Congress, identifying whom to apply it to.
00:10:26.000 So, the 14th Amendment, Section 3, specifically says, representative or member of the Senate.
00:10:32.000 It specifically says, elector of the President or Vice President.
00:10:34.000 And then it says, and may not hold office, civil or military.
00:10:39.000 And so, the argument people are making is that the reason why Section 3 outlines The the exact elected positions and then says civil office is because it views them at it is a distinction civil office meaning a bureaucratic job you're appointed to whereas the other positions are elected to so it would seem their argument is a trump can be president because president isn't specifically addressed here but
00:11:03.000 That's a tough question, because I don't know if civil office... I'm not going to sit here and say this silly argument from the left.
00:11:11.000 They say, you know, a well-regulated militia means government regulation, but it's not what regulated meant back then.
00:11:17.000 Back then, regulated meant, like, well-equipped and properly armed with clean materials.
00:11:22.000 And so perhaps civil office meant something specific back then.
00:11:25.000 It doesn't mean today.
00:11:27.000 I guess we're gonna hear, but regardless of this, I think it's absolutely silly to be having the hearing at all.
00:11:34.000 The fact that when it came to 2020, the majority of the lawsuits coming from Trump were dismissed on standing, and not the merits.
00:11:42.000 And then you see a case like this, where there's literally no merit whatsoever, but they hold it anyway.
00:11:47.000 No, we just sit back and get destroyed every single time.
00:11:49.000 We're weak, and we let them run all over us.
00:11:50.000 I'm not so convinced as to say the legal system is completely broken, but Republicans don't
00:11:54.000 file lawsuits anyway, so we wouldn't know.
00:11:57.000 No, we just sit back and get destroyed every single time.
00:11:59.000 We're weak and we let them run all over us.
00:12:02.000 You're talking about definitions.
00:12:03.000 They don't care about definitions.
00:12:05.000 They write the rules.
00:12:06.000 They rewrite them if they don't work for them.
00:12:08.000 They don't care.
00:12:09.000 We make the third world look, like, beautiful right now.
00:12:12.000 What they're doing to us, it's ridiculous.
00:12:14.000 So, I don't think we stand a chance against this kind of stuff, unless we get smart, and get smart quick.
00:12:20.000 As long as, as long as Roman Daniel is running the... No!
00:12:23.000 She should be fighting this.
00:12:24.000 What's she doing?
00:12:24.000 Getting more Botox or something?
00:12:26.000 It's a joke!
00:12:27.000 It is unconscionable that not only is she still in her position, but Donald Trump was talking positively about her just the other day.
00:12:34.000 And I don't know what is wrong with that man to not see that two elections were run Absolutely horribly.
00:12:45.000 The Democrats absolutely outworked the Republicans.
00:12:48.000 They made the Republicans look like fools, and the significant portion of it was ground game.
00:12:54.000 I believe that Donald Trump would have won in 2020 had it not been for the Republicans being so bad at their job, because they let the Democrats change the laws in Pennsylvania.
00:13:06.000 No, no, no.
00:13:06.000 In Pennsylvania, they ran on it.
00:13:07.000 In Pennsylvania, the Republicans teamed up with Democrats to change the rules in violation of their own Constitution.
00:13:12.000 And Ron McDonald knows, and Trump knows this too, that the RNC needs Trump way more.
00:13:16.000 I don't believe Trump knows things.
00:13:18.000 Go ahead.
00:13:19.000 I think, I mean, we have to look back at the debate, right?
00:13:21.000 Ron McDonald puts out this first statement being like, it would be a mistake to miss the debate.
00:13:26.000 This is a bad idea.
00:13:27.000 But they know they need Trump to bring in the viewership.
00:13:29.000 That's how they are going to generate money off of this.
00:13:31.000 And the fundraising.
00:13:32.000 Every fundraising email is get your Trump gold card and then you look at the bottom and it's always the RNC.
00:13:32.000 Right.
00:13:38.000 That money doesn't go to Trump.
00:13:39.000 It goes to her and her sick people.
00:13:41.000 So they know they need him on so many levels and I wish that Trump would do more to hold them accountable to that.
00:13:46.000 They need him so much more than Republicans on the state level need the RNC to be better at organizing.
00:13:53.000 I don't know that Trump supporters who, you know, would follow him into a burning building necessarily would turn out for every single person he endorses with the same enthusiasm.
00:14:02.000 And that's actually what the RNC needs to get serious about, in my opinion.
00:14:06.000 You've been on the campaigns longer than I have.
00:14:08.000 Yeah, it's just that a lot of times the RNC just ignores the campaign.
00:14:11.000 You see people, I think you're going to have JR Majewski on later this week.
00:14:14.000 He got screwed by these people.
00:14:16.000 I mean, they don't take the time to actually work with the good candidates.
00:14:19.000 They work with the candidates that are going to be amenable to what they need them to do, which is go with the status quo, Go along with what gets along.
00:14:27.000 Kick back your money to us so that we have our funded operation.
00:14:31.000 It's all a money game and it's all a joke.
00:14:33.000 It's like the GOP is in competition with the Libertarian Party for the most useless party in America.
00:14:39.000 It is ridiculous.
00:14:39.000 Yeah.
00:14:41.000 And I think there's just a cultural misunderstanding.
00:14:42.000 I think, you know, They are definitely not the counterculture anymore, but for all the years the DNCA said, we're the oppressed ones, we're the counterculture, come volunteer with us, be active with us.
00:14:52.000 I mean, it did translate into people who are willing to knock on doors and to be more active on a grassroots level.
00:14:59.000 RNC says grassroots, but I don't think it actually has strong organizations.
00:15:02.000 And I know the argument, you know, rural versus whatever.
00:15:05.000 I don't think that it's about that.
00:15:06.000 I think that the temperament of people that are conservative, it's harder to get them to be activist types.
00:15:13.000 I think that you see people that are progressives or that are upset with the status quo, it's far easier to motivate people like that to get out and have a ground game, be activists.
00:15:27.000 The people that are That are Republicans or conservatives that tend to be kind of activists.
00:15:34.000 They tend to do things with like their church or whatever.
00:15:37.000 Whereas the left, it's homeless shelters and, you know, food not bombs and, you know, that kind of stuff.
00:15:44.000 Well, we get targeted too.
00:15:45.000 Well, we have risks.
00:15:46.000 Like, you know, you go out and you put yourself out as a conservative.
00:15:48.000 You live in an urban area.
00:15:50.000 She can tell you.
00:15:51.000 She gets more death threats than anyone I know.
00:15:54.000 It's ridiculous what we go through, so we can't run around, all of us don't have the bravery to say, yeah, I'm a conservative, yeah, I'm gonna go organize.
00:16:01.000 No, you might get really hurt.
00:16:02.000 Well, I think that's the problem, is that conservatives tend to be cowards.
00:16:07.000 Well, not this one, because last year, any time, every day, I'm very vocal, very bold, and I'm out there.
00:16:07.000 Yeah.
00:16:14.000 And what I saw last year from a lot of candidates that really put their heart out there, their soul, gave it everything they had, Ran on that American First platform.
00:16:26.000 We got, like, no support from the party.
00:16:29.000 That is unconscionable and it's not a surprise.
00:16:31.000 You look at people like Scott Pressler, who's probably the most effective conservative activist when it comes to actually getting people to vote and getting people registered.
00:16:42.000 And I can't understand why the RNC and Rona McDaniels aren't like giving this guy every every single bit of help that they could possibly muster for him.
00:16:54.000 He's effective.
00:16:55.000 I think it's twofold, though.
00:16:56.000 They'd have to admit that they are doing something wrong and they need him, and there's an ego and pride there that don't want to.
00:17:00.000 But also, the RNC, you know, has its own behind-the-scenes politics.
00:17:05.000 I think about when Larry Elder challenged Gavin Newsom in the recall, right?
00:17:08.000 And the RNC, even though he emerged as the leader, the RNC did not give him the support they should have, right?
00:17:13.000 And theoretically, that is one of the most important and, I think, undertalked about political battles that we had in recent history.
00:17:20.000 And the RNC did not even give him the fighting support that he needed, in my opinion.
00:17:25.000 There is a disconnect between what the voters want and what the administrative size of that wants.
00:17:31.000 I mean, it is sad, but you know, to your point, they ultimately know where the money is, they know where the support is, that's why they invoke Trump's name when it's convenient to them.
00:17:39.000 And they like to be in the opposition because you raise more money if you can send an email that says, We're being screwed, they're gonna kill us all, we're destroyed, Biden's ruining us, than if you talk about results.
00:17:51.000 And it's sad, but it's true.
00:17:53.000 It's infuriating because that ineffectiveness and that desire to be the underdog is part of the reason why the whole of the culture is so run by the left.
00:18:05.000 And it translates to all the antisemitism and stuff that's going on in college campuses now.
00:18:10.000 If the Republicans gave people something to aspire to, the Republican Party, I mean, if they gave people something to aspire to, you wouldn't have the left dominating everywhere in our society.
00:18:24.000 And the left does dominate every institution in our society right now.
00:18:30.000 And it's starting to have real-world consequences.
00:18:33.000 And you're seeing it in the, you know, case in point, all the anti-Semitism and all the people that hate the Jews and stuff that you see in college campuses.
00:18:42.000 Laverne, I'm curious what your experience is as a conservative.
00:18:45.000 I mean, were you always a Republican?
00:18:48.000 How did you get to where you are?
00:18:50.000 Like I said, with the food bang, I always had to be vocal, get out there, roll elbows with the politicians.
00:18:57.000 So what caught my attention, and I'm going to say it again, I always say it so far as myself and so many other black conservatives was that when Trump said in 2020, why don't y'all run and take back your community?
00:19:12.000 Because they're not helping you anyway.
00:19:14.000 So that's what caught my attention.
00:19:16.000 And that's when I decided to change and become a conservative.
00:19:21.000 And did your community react positively, negatively?
00:19:24.000 I mean, did other black conservatives decide they would support you?
00:19:28.000 Well, it wasn't... I didn't really care if they supported me or not.
00:19:31.000 You know, I don't give a damn about that.
00:19:34.000 But, so what really... I think that, so far as my community, you know, they don't give a damn because they know when they need the help.
00:19:43.000 They can come to me.
00:19:44.000 I'm in the streets.
00:19:45.000 I'm with the homeless.
00:19:46.000 I'm with anybody that's hurting and need help.
00:19:49.000 I'm there.
00:19:51.000 Um, the community supported me, but it was just, um, you know, with the Twitter page, people started coming after me, calling me all kind of derogatory names.
00:20:03.000 And, um, you know, the Coons, the, and everything else that come along with that.
00:20:09.000 And, uh, you know, I guess they, most of them didn't know exactly who they was talking to, but they quickly found out.
00:20:16.000 I like that response.
00:20:17.000 I think that's really funny.
00:20:18.000 Well, I think they thought I was gonna be afraid, you know, because they called me all the ugly names that would run me away from the party.
00:20:25.000 So, no.
00:20:27.000 Let's jump to the story from Newsweek, and we'll get silly.
00:20:30.000 I saw this earlier today.
00:20:32.000 PatrickBetDavid was interviewing Ron DeSantis, and I was really surprised.
00:20:36.000 I'm consistently impressed with PatrickBetDavid's ability to get some of these personalities on his show.
00:20:44.000 He had Anthony Weiner, now he's got Ron DeSantis.
00:20:47.000 You know, we've got two people who do booking for Timcast, and these people are terrified.
00:20:52.000 But I don't even think I go as hard as Patrick, but David does what people really want to be on his show, so we gotta learn a lesson from PBD.
00:20:59.000 He knows how to handle this.
00:21:00.000 Take a look at this story from Newsweek.
00:21:01.000 Ron DeSantis addresses rumors that he wears lifts in his boots.
00:21:06.000 Okay, let me just play the clip from the show.
00:21:09.000 Dude, I gotta play.
00:21:10.000 It's a minute long.
00:21:11.000 Here we go.
00:21:11.000 I'm sure your marketing team points out how they're trying to troll you in the marketplace.
00:21:16.000 Okay, I'm sure they're doing that.
00:21:17.000 Can you bring this one clip?
00:21:19.000 I know you were on, what do you call it?
00:21:22.000 Uh, what was it?
00:21:23.000 Bill Maher.
00:21:24.000 And Bill Maher talked about the boots.
00:21:25.000 I've seen you walk with these boots.
00:21:26.000 Go ahead and play this clip.
00:21:27.000 This on TikTok went viral.
00:21:30.000 It doesn't have a million views.
00:21:31.000 It doesn't have, you know, 10 million views.
00:21:33.000 This thing's got 1.2 million likes.
00:21:35.000 And some people are wondering.
00:21:38.000 What are they?
00:21:39.000 I haven't seen that.
00:21:39.000 I don't even know.
00:21:41.000 They've not shown this to you.
00:21:42.000 Okay.
00:21:42.000 What they're trying to say with this is that in your boots, you have heels.
00:21:47.000 No, no, no.
00:21:48.000 Those are just standard, off-the-rack, Lucchese... How tall are you, Governor?
00:21:54.000 5'11".
00:21:55.000 5'11"?
00:21:55.000 OK.
00:21:56.000 Why don't you wear tennis shoes and dress shoes?
00:21:59.000 I do wear tennis shoes when I work out, yeah.
00:22:02.000 OK.
00:22:02.000 You do?
00:22:03.000 I got a gift for you.
00:22:04.000 I'd love for you to wear... OK.
00:22:06.000 I shop at Ferragamo.
00:22:08.000 OK?
00:22:12.000 I don't accept gifts.
00:22:13.000 I can't accept it.
00:22:14.000 I'm sorry.
00:22:16.000 Oh man, his like immediate reaction, 5-11, I'm sorry, I think Ron DeSantis wear high heels, and I just want to shout out, I think Ashley St.
00:22:25.000 Clair may have just driven the final nail into the DeSantis campaign coffin.
00:22:29.000 Yeah, he's not going to recover from this.
00:22:32.000 And I'm not even, I'm not being sarcastic or hyperbolic at all, he is not going to be the president, and this is, this is like his, I think the guy's name was- Howard Dean?
00:22:42.000 Yeah, the Dean moment, because I mean, The truth is, if you're like below six foot, you're not going to be the president.
00:22:52.000 People talk about, oh, half the presidents have been, you know, under six foot and half of them are over.
00:22:57.000 But how many since the advent of television have been under six foot?
00:23:01.000 I still think 5'11 is the height men give when they know they're not six feet.
00:23:05.000 You're nodding at me.
00:23:06.000 When you know they're not six feet, but they can't, like, officially- they want to pretend they're a little taller, so it's like, well, 5'11, like, no, no, no, they're actually, like, 5'8, and like, no, that's not bad.
00:23:16.000 I wish he would just own it, right?
00:23:18.000 Well, no, I mean, he- He could own it, but he's not going to.
00:23:21.000 He's never going to be the president if you're not tall.
00:23:25.000 He went from being the governor that was the face of freedom, the governor that was basically next up in line.
00:23:25.000 Can you imagine?
00:23:31.000 If he would have waited until 2028, he would have probably been the Republican nominee.
00:23:35.000 And now instead, we're sitting around here talking about, does he wear high heels?
00:23:40.000 His best hope is to, like, get an Instagram sponsorship with a heel company.
00:23:44.000 This is what happens.
00:23:46.000 I don't know that I believe that he ever would be able to be the president just because of his height.
00:23:51.000 I strongly believe that if you're not... Phil, we're in a progressive, accepting society!
00:23:57.000 No, that doesn't count!
00:23:58.000 Short King exists in heels movies!
00:24:01.000 Stop, that doesn't count for men.
00:24:03.000 That is not the truth for men at all.
00:24:04.000 But without Trump in the race, would we even be talking about it?
00:24:07.000 Trump is the one who put his people on this.
00:24:09.000 This is a Trump that, you know, nobody cared about these things necessarily.
00:24:13.000 It doesn't, he would get on stage and be next to someone taller and that's all it would take.
00:24:18.000 Okay.
00:24:19.000 Because I don't think that, I honestly don't believe that there is a situation where people are gonna look at, like, dudes on stage, behind a podium, and if one is significantly taller than another, they're not gonna vote for the short guy.
00:24:32.000 They're just not gonna do it.
00:24:34.000 We believe in you guys, come on!
00:24:36.000 I pulled up a bunch of photos, just looking at my phone, from way before DeSantis was running for president, and I just looked up photos of Trump with DeSantis, and he looks like he's probably 5'11".
00:24:50.000 That's a fake height.
00:24:51.000 They're just pretending to be single.
00:24:51.000 No men are 5'11".
00:24:52.000 Then 5'10".
00:24:53.000 Unless he's been wearing high heels the whole time, which is possible and no one noticed
00:24:58.000 until now.
00:24:59.000 I imagine that he probably did.
00:25:00.000 He probably wore them as soon as he, it's probably been for a while.
00:25:03.000 Yeah.
00:25:04.000 As soon as he started dating maybe.
00:25:05.000 I mean if he's wearing them now, it's something that he's been concerned with.
00:25:07.000 We need to get a picture from when he got married because he got married in his dress
00:25:11.000 uniform which might be harder to hide lifts in and then we can do a comparison to the
00:25:15.000 That's my new theory on this.
00:25:16.000 That photo's amazing.
00:25:18.000 He's floating into the sky.
00:25:19.000 This is what a lot of people said about this picture right here, that his, uh...
00:25:23.000 Like they think he's wearing these fake shoes otherwise he's got really long legs.
00:25:28.000 Fibula?
00:25:29.000 Well the one that's like there's no way any human has this length of bone except for Ron DeSantis.
00:25:33.000 Yeah someone said DeSantis' heel lifts are so high it looks like he's being photographed mid-rapture.
00:25:37.000 I just think if he had less body.
00:25:38.000 Unless it's photoshopped, I don't know.
00:25:40.000 I just wish he had responded to this more positively, embraced it with humor, because it would have been a different... I don't know that it would have changed his campaign completely, but it would have given him the personality that right now people critique him for not having, right?
00:25:53.000 He's humorless, he's lifeless, that's the problem with him.
00:25:55.000 And this was this perfect moment to do something, and I just sadly didn't embrace it, right?
00:26:00.000 I'm not trying to make him feel bad about his height, you know?
00:26:02.000 He can be any height he wants to be, apparently, but...
00:26:06.000 It doesn't have to be like this and they made it this weird sticking point that now people are always going to try and bring up.
00:26:11.000 I don't, I mean, I still strongly feel like... Phil will only have a tall president, I guess.
00:26:18.000 It's not about, it's not about, it's about the way that people unconsciously react.
00:26:23.000 It's not something that people are going to be able to identify on their own.
00:26:27.000 They're going to say, they'll just be like, I don't know, the other guy just looks more presidential.
00:26:32.000 It'll be, he's more commanding.
00:26:34.000 I trust him.
00:26:36.000 It's a deep part of human psychology.
00:26:38.000 It is all about charisma, and when it comes to men, taller men are looked at as an authority.
00:26:44.000 That is just the way people react.
00:26:46.000 No one thinks about it at all.
00:26:49.000 It's attractive privilege.
00:26:50.000 It's 100% attractive privilege, and that's the way that it pans out for men.
00:26:54.000 With women, if you're a large woman, you're not as attractive as smaller, petite women.
00:27:00.000 That's just reality.
00:27:01.000 I think it's even beyond attractiveness.
00:27:03.000 I think, you know, some of the stuff that we look for to indicate health well-being that are deep in our psychology that, you know, they're young and vibrant.
00:27:10.000 Height is one of them.
00:27:10.000 I mean, even babies in, you know, tiny newborn babies prefer symmetrical faces.
00:27:16.000 There is something deep in our minds that looks to seek for indicators of health or strength or whatever it is.
00:27:22.000 I just think, you know, maybe he could never have been president, but I just think the way his team handled this was...
00:27:26.000 How tall is the demented guy in the office right now, Mr. Biden?
00:27:30.000 How tall is he?
00:27:31.000 He's six feet.
00:27:32.000 Wow, okay.
00:27:33.000 Imagine if Ron just said, well, I can't accept the gift, but I can try him on.
00:27:38.000 And then stood up and put him on.
00:27:39.000 You gotta get out of the lifts.
00:27:41.000 They're probably tough to get out of though.
00:27:43.000 Because the thing about it is that this clip, this image right here, it's like the third time we've talked about this.
00:27:50.000 The front of his foot looks like it's smashed up against the boot, like it's really tight on his foot.
00:27:55.000 There's a clip from an old late night show when Jake Gyllenhaal, people are like, how tall is he?
00:28:00.000 And so he just takes off his shoes and they measure him on the set of whatever generic late night show it is.
00:28:06.000 He comes up less than six foot, maybe 5'11", maybe 5'10", and he just sort of nods along and laughs with it and then that question just dies away, no one asks that anymore.
00:28:15.000 And I think making this into sort of an internet meme is way worse.
00:28:21.000 Terrible.
00:28:22.000 It just makes him look like a joke.
00:28:23.000 It makes him look insecure.
00:28:26.000 Outside of this, Patrick bet David asking him the question was a tremendous opportunity to end it, and he doesn't have the charisma to do that.
00:28:35.000 His response is, well first of all, the fact that he's never seen it, But that's a lie.
00:28:41.000 He's seen it.
00:28:42.000 He's probably cries himself to sleep watching it.
00:28:44.000 But that's just that's his thing.
00:28:46.000 He should have been like, Oh, I've seen this clip.
00:28:48.000 I've seen this clip.
00:28:49.000 Yeah, that's a good one.
00:28:50.000 It's not real.
00:28:51.000 But instead, he's like, What?
00:28:52.000 I've never seen this.
00:28:53.000 It's like you never said no, then you got a terrible PR team.
00:28:57.000 That's not actually, you know, I wonder if It's true.
00:29:01.000 He really has never seen it.
00:29:02.000 Which would make it seem like his PR team is like, he's so insecure about his height we have to hide it from him.
00:29:06.000 That's not great either.
00:29:07.000 He hired the worst possible people in communications imaginable who took the frontrunner to the bottom.
00:29:13.000 If you're running for the office of president and you don't think that image is important, you're gonna lose.
00:29:20.000 Period.
00:29:21.000 You have to understand that most people make their decision about you with their gut.
00:29:27.000 They don't think about it.
00:29:28.000 They rationalize their emotional reaction after the fact.
00:29:32.000 That's just the way human beings work.
00:29:34.000 If you don't portray yourself in a charismatic way, the reason people love Trump is because he's charismatic in a way that's attractive to them.
00:29:43.000 That's also the thing that some people find repulsive.
00:29:46.000 Nobody likes Trump because of his policies.
00:29:48.000 Because Trump doesn't have any policies.
00:29:50.000 The policies are going to change depending on the last person he spoke to.
00:29:53.000 Hold on, hold on.
00:29:55.000 That's true.
00:29:56.000 No, no, no.
00:29:57.000 His policies change depending on what Tucker Carlson said then.
00:29:59.000 Fair enough.
00:30:00.000 Okay, depending on what Tucker Carlson does.
00:30:02.000 But to be fair, there's that Tucker Carlson anchor on Trump, you know what I mean?
00:30:06.000 I mean, I think that Tucker Carlson puts thought into the policies that he would or would not back.
00:30:11.000 I don't think Trump does.
00:30:12.000 I think Trump is just driven by his gut.
00:30:15.000 See, but we can forgive stuff that Trump does because of his charisma.
00:30:18.000 That's because he's charismatic, yeah!
00:30:19.000 You can't forgive DeSantis because, I mean, he's like a lump on a log.
00:30:22.000 It's just, it doesn't work.
00:30:23.000 And Trump has proven that he's tall, because Barron is, like, what, 607 feet tall?
00:30:28.000 That's the comparison.
00:30:29.000 Put DeSantis next to Barron.
00:30:30.000 He will never stand next to Barron Trump.
00:30:33.000 It's going to be Trump Trump 2024, Barron as VP.
00:30:36.000 And he's just, like, 10 feet tall at this point.
00:30:38.000 Everyone's just like, we must vote.
00:30:39.000 His knees don't fit under the desk.
00:30:41.000 He's just so enormously tall.
00:30:42.000 Barron's going to be the first emperor to be superior.
00:30:46.000 uh... statute in the constitution that says it'd be at least thirty five the
00:30:49.000 president or at least a detail please and their jobs are not my way and
00:30:53.000 qualified this is
00:30:56.000 well that's uh... that's your presidential news outside of uh...
00:31:00.000 donald trusts skipped over pence dropping out over the weekend
00:31:03.000 all of that's how abhorring that but campaign has been when i will grant
00:31:08.000 pittsburgh and i'm like i look at my phone it's like mike pence has
00:31:11.000 dropped out of the And I was like, oh, and I hit retweet, and I was like, what
00:31:14.000 were we talking about again?
00:31:14.000 Nobody cares.
00:31:16.000 I think we had, what did I have for dinner?
00:31:16.000 What were we eating?
00:31:19.000 Thai food.
00:31:20.000 Thai food.
00:31:21.000 Much more interesting than Pence.
00:31:21.000 I said it to my stepmom.
00:31:23.000 Yeah, I told my stepmom, I was like, oh, Pence dropped out, and she's like, didn't he already do that?
00:31:26.000 He's running?
00:31:27.000 He dropped out January 6, 2021 in Rio.
00:31:30.000 To be fair, to be fair, you know, even the fact that we're making fun of Ron DeSantis is better than Nikki Haley.
00:31:37.000 She's just, I don't know, she's in second place and is a lump on a log.
00:31:42.000 She's loved by a certain crowd, though.
00:31:43.000 Over 60-year-olds, they absolutely love this woman, and it's this old war mentality, this old America has to be in charge, and the police state, you know, and all that stuff.
00:31:53.000 Well, someone's gotta blow up these kids, right?
00:31:55.000 Yeah.
00:31:56.000 I want a Department of Offense, not defense.
00:31:58.000 Is that what she said?
00:31:59.000 Yeah, she said, I want a Department of Offense.
00:32:01.000 You go fight, woman.
00:32:03.000 I mean, that was a joke I made a long time ago to my friends, that we don't have a Department of Defense, we have a Department of Offense, and all my anti-war buddies are laughing, and now she's just coming out and saying it, so...
00:32:11.000 Who does she want to go to war with?
00:32:12.000 Everybody.
00:32:13.000 You name a country.
00:32:14.000 I mean fair enough.
00:32:15.000 War with Italy if she could.
00:32:19.000 But I just I don't see I mean currently there's there's the argument that Iran is is funding Hezbollah and that it's possible that there'd be some kind of engagement but that is Pretty far down the road, still, and I don't think that it's a direction that we should be trying to go.
00:32:36.000 The American people have no desire to go to war with Iran, at all.
00:32:41.000 The American people don't have an appetite for war right now.
00:32:44.000 Right now, American people don't want to go to war for anything!
00:32:47.000 We just want to fund proxy wars through Ukraine and everywhere else.
00:32:51.000 Can you imagine they send our people to fight in Ukraine?
00:32:53.000 Our soldiers to fight a war in Ukraine?
00:32:56.000 Well, they've already deployed thousands to Europe for the war in Ukraine.
00:32:58.000 Disgusting.
00:32:59.000 And we have special forces there.
00:33:00.000 These are lives of people.
00:33:01.000 They don't understand that part.
00:33:03.000 Now I guess Ukraine's kind of following the back burner, Zelensky is the, you know, he's yesterday's news.
00:33:09.000 Back on Seeking Arrangement looking for a new sugar daddy.
00:33:11.000 That's right, that's right.
00:33:13.000 I think that the war in Ukraine has been basically decided.
00:33:17.000 You okay down there?
00:33:18.000 No, this is so funny!
00:33:20.000 It's true.
00:33:21.000 I mean, I don't think that anyone that's serious believes that Russia is going to give up any of the territory that they've taken.
00:33:28.000 And I don't see any reason why the U.S.
00:33:33.000 should keep giving money to Ukraine.
00:33:35.000 I don't think Russia is looking to take more territory in Ukraine either.
00:33:38.000 If the Ukrainians and the Russians can say, OK, this is it.
00:33:42.000 I think that it could they could have some kind of ceasefire.
00:33:46.000 There would have to be there's going to be new new borders drawn.
00:33:49.000 and that's just the way it's gonna be.
00:33:51.000 Zelensky doesn't want that.
00:33:52.000 We'd have to stop paying him so much money.
00:33:54.000 Well, nobody in the U.S.
00:33:55.000 The U.S. doesn't want that either because they'd have to stop laundering money through.
00:33:55.000 It's not just fun for him.
00:33:58.000 It's true.
00:33:59.000 Everybody's making a killing.
00:34:00.000 It's not gonna launder itself.
00:34:01.000 That's so true.
00:34:02.000 Everybody's making a killing on this one.
00:34:03.000 I hate to say it, the best thing that could happen would be Russia wins and we don't have to deal with it.
00:34:07.000 Russia did win.
00:34:08.000 Because if Ukraine rebuilds, guess who's rebuilding?
00:34:11.000 Everybody in here is taxed up.
00:34:13.000 Russia won.
00:34:16.000 It's fascinating if you look at the start of the war and the territory gained by Russia, and the argument I get from more establishment conservative types is, no, no, Russia wanted the whole country.
00:34:26.000 Like, no, they wanted the land bridge to Crimea.
00:34:28.000 Like, that's what we've been saying non-stop.
00:34:29.000 Now they have it, and now nothing's changed.
00:34:31.000 There's no advancing, it's just locked, and Russia got what they wanted.
00:34:34.000 Yeah, and we'll never know when it really ends because the money laundering would stop.
00:34:37.000 So this will go on into the next, I mean... Well, no, I think it'll likely end because Israel's firing up.
00:34:46.000 True, that's a good point.
00:34:47.000 They gotta figure out just how to launder it right through there.
00:34:50.000 Once they get the bank accounts all set up.
00:34:52.000 I don't think we should be sending any more money to Ukraine when we have people right here in the United States that are suffering and cannot afford to pay their rent and are staying and sleeping in the streets.
00:35:05.000 Amen.
00:35:05.000 Yep.
00:35:06.000 That's as simple as that, isn't it?
00:35:08.000 Sure is.
00:35:08.000 But for some reason, you get Mitch McConnell.
00:35:10.000 What did he say?
00:35:11.000 The biggest priority was funding for Ukraine?
00:35:13.000 Yeah, funding Ukraine.
00:35:13.000 He should go over there.
00:35:14.000 He can have his little strokes in the next Zelensky.
00:35:17.000 Wow.
00:35:18.000 Him and Lindsey Graham.
00:35:18.000 Deploy them first.
00:35:19.000 I mean, that's the craziest thing.
00:35:21.000 At least Nikki Haley's husband is actively deployed right now.
00:35:23.000 He's in Africa.
00:35:25.000 But, you know, she therefore is willing to send her own husband to war.
00:35:29.000 It's a bold choice on my opinion.
00:35:30.000 But, you know, all of the politicians who call for funding for war want to send your children and your siblings and your cousins.
00:35:37.000 They don't want to go themselves and they don't want anyone they actually know or are related to to go.
00:35:41.000 I think Lindsey just likes the war stuff because it makes him look more masculine and we all know what's going on there.
00:35:46.000 Oh, I think these people are just funded by massive multinational corporations and the military-industrial complex, and so they're gonna go on TV and warmonger.
00:35:53.000 100%.
00:35:53.000 But let's jump to this story from Deadline.
00:35:56.000 Joe Biden talks about watching an AI-generated deepfake of himself.
00:36:01.000 I said, when the hell did I say that?
00:36:03.000 So apparently Biden wants to launch some AI safety regulations and guidelines and things like this.
00:36:08.000 They say President Biden signed an executive order on AI billing the U.S.
00:36:13.000 as out front of other countries when it comes to establishing guardrails around the fast emerging technology.
00:36:19.000 But Biden told those gathered in the East Room that other steps will require congressional action.
00:36:23.000 That will be a much more complicated process as lawmakers have been in a stalemate for years when it comes to any meaningful action on tech giants.
00:36:30.000 Speaking to reporters after the White House ceremony, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that all of his effort to craft a bill, this is about the hardest thing I have attempted to undertake legislatively because it is so complicated.
00:36:41.000 Because A, it's so complicated.
00:36:42.000 B, it affects every aspect of society.
00:36:44.000 Schumer said that he and the rest of the bipartisan group of lawmakers will meet with Biden on Tuesday to talk about the legislation.
00:36:49.000 I think we're in a post-legislation era of this country.
00:36:53.000 I don't think legislation's gonna get passed unless it's nonsensical and irrelevant or jammed into an omnibus.
00:36:58.000 And, uh, when it comes to major issues like AI, it's just going to happen, and no one's going to do anything about any of it.
00:37:07.000 So you look at where the internet is today, and kids have access to adult content, and nobody cares.
00:37:13.000 In fact, there are libertarians who argue they should.
00:37:16.000 It's the parents' fault, and I'm like, Well, I guess.
00:37:19.000 It's like saying it's parents' fault if a kid sneaks, if a kid goes to an adult bookstore and the guy lets him in.
00:37:24.000 I think at a certain point there is a shared responsibility between the people granting the access and the parents who are supposed to be watching their kids.
00:37:30.000 With that being said, AI stuff is just going to keep happening.
00:37:33.000 There's not going to be any regulation, and it's going to get wild, and then that's it.
00:37:36.000 There you go.
00:37:37.000 You live in the pod, you'll eat the book.
00:37:38.000 And China's going to control it all.
00:37:39.000 Yep.
00:37:41.000 I feel confident that China, whether or not the U.S.
00:37:46.000 passes some kind of restrictions, because Marc Andreessen is frequently talking about doing some kind of limit on, he really wants a full stop on AI research because he thinks that it can get out of hand real fast.
00:37:56.000 But I think that that doesn't really matter because it's not going to be something that the whole world is going to abide by.
00:38:03.000 Even if the U.S.
00:38:05.000 companies or companies that had A large portion of their business done in the U.S.
00:38:09.000 Even if they committed to stopping, that doesn't mean China's going to stop.
00:38:13.000 And I don't think that China is as cutting edge as the U.S.
00:38:17.000 is, but I think that they would be or they will be quickly if the U.S.
00:38:21.000 stops developing, if U.S.
00:38:23.000 firms and companies stop developing.
00:38:25.000 I mean, right now, Google's as much of the military industrial complex as Raytheon is.
00:38:30.000 Like, they are exactly the same type of You know, involvement with the warfare state and the surveillance state.
00:38:39.000 So there's no incentive for these companies to actually stop, no matter what the president passes or executive order he says.
00:38:47.000 I just don't see it happening.
00:38:49.000 Yeah, and for me, part of the danger with AI is that it's marketed as just something fun that we try out and play right now.
00:38:54.000 I mean, every time you get access to, you know, Photoshop just unveiled a tool that uses AI.
00:39:00.000 So you can use AI to generate things, but that is refining the AI.
00:39:04.000 The more exposure, the more people use it, the more essentially free beta testing they have for it, the more complicated of a tool it becomes to unravel.
00:39:11.000 And I just don't think that And look, I openly identify as a boomer in terms of technology, but I just don't think there's any way for the people who are legislating to legislate effectively and passively enough to be ahead of this.
00:39:23.000 We're already behind it.
00:39:24.000 That's why we're trying to play catch-up.
00:39:27.000 And I certainly don't know anyone who can effectively talk about the ramifications of AI in a way that would eventually make it into an effective law.
00:39:33.000 Half of them can't even open an email, and they're the people that are going to do our AI legislation.
00:39:38.000 I think it was one of the Democratic congressmen from North Carolina He used to do TikToks from the Capitol and he was like, today I met with, you know, the head of technology at the Capitol to get my laptop.
00:39:47.000 And he deadpanned asked me if I needed him to show, needed help learning how to open the laptop and learning how to launch an email.
00:39:55.000 Wow.
00:39:56.000 Feinstein basically stayed there dead for six months.
00:39:58.000 So it's just, it's ridiculous.
00:39:59.000 And these are supposed to be our leaders.
00:40:01.000 The executive order is basically going to direct the Department of Commerce to develop standards for authentication and watermarking.
00:40:08.000 Impossible!
00:40:10.000 They'll make the standard, it'll be exploited by them.
00:40:12.000 That's what they'll do.
00:40:12.000 They'll make a standard, and they'll say, this label certifies a video organic, and then they'll just charge companies for that organic label.
00:40:22.000 So you're gonna be a news organization, and you're gonna go to this system, and you're gonna be like, we're gonna upload the video, we're gonna certify it, and then they're gonna stamp it, and then you're gonna pay your monthly fee or whatever, or your license per content fee.
00:40:34.000 Just like if you were getting other government stamps on your product.
00:40:37.000 Or if you're an independent journalist and you take video on the ground, what's to stop anyone else from saying, oh no, this doesn't have the right certification, or you didn't upload it correctly, or we have questions about this, so now we're gonna lock down your content because we think it potentially could be AI generated based on literally nothing other than we don't really like what you're filming.
00:40:54.000 I mean, it's not that I don't want there to be regulation, I think AI is, I'm fearful of it, but it's just hard to think of a way that would be effective and not open a whole bunch of other problems.
00:41:09.000 Anyways, I can ram on.
00:41:11.000 I'll just continue to talk about why I'm scared of AI.
00:41:13.000 Okay, here we go.
00:41:14.000 No, I mean, this is the thing.
00:41:15.000 I've had other people suggest to me that when I'm doing research for articles that I should turn to ChatGPT and like ask it questions.
00:41:21.000 And ChatGPT can be an incredibly effective tool, but I was just sitting with someone in the office who was using it to double check a math equation and ChatGPT got it wrong.
00:41:31.000 And so You just can't trust that the AI intelligence is actually reliable, right?
00:41:36.000 I mean, it eventually will develop its own agenda.
00:41:38.000 I do not trust it.
00:41:39.000 I don't care what Elon says.
00:41:41.000 I'm not convinced that AI will ever be creative, because currently AI is a...
00:41:48.000 Essentially, it can only know what's on the internet now.
00:41:52.000 It doesn't come up with any ideas of its own.
00:41:54.000 So I don't, and I'm not in any position to make an authoritative statement about AI, but I am skeptical that it could be creative in the way that human beings are.
00:42:07.000 Sure, but I imagine, you know, once it reads every book and listens to every song, it's going, it's already at that point where it knows what people like and then can make pop music.
00:42:19.000 Granted, if you want to make art music, sure, weird experimental and weird sounds, it could certainly do that, just increase the instability in the algorithm and then it'll output something a little bit weirder.
00:42:31.000 So I don't know what creativity is going to mean in that context.
00:42:34.000 When I say creativity, I'm more thinking in not so much creative art style or musically, but creative as in innovations in fields like I don't think the AI is going to figure out how to do cold fusion.
00:42:51.000 I disagree, I think it will.
00:42:52.000 You think it can figure out cold fusion?
00:42:53.000 Because my impression is that without the information already being there, I feel like it wouldn't be able to come up with innovations.
00:43:03.000 So it's like Sudoku.
00:43:05.000 So they've, uh, the periodic table, for instance, periodic table of elements, when it was first made, there was like huge gaps in it.
00:43:13.000 And they were like, there's probably something there based on this already, and then we're filling it in, and they were like, whoa, there's like a whole section here.
00:43:18.000 And so what I think, it's gonna be like a Sudoku puzzle.
00:43:22.000 Once enough data is plugged into the AI, it's going to spit out, hey guys, see these things right here?
00:43:28.000 There's a particle there, a particle there, there's an element there, we're gonna be like, wow, we could not see these things.
00:43:33.000 And then, it's not gonna know, it's gonna say, based on all of the pieces laid out, I'll put it this way.
00:43:39.000 We're loading all the puzzle pieces of this 50 billion piece jigsaw puzzle into this machine, and then it's sorting them, and then showing us the picture, and we're like, there's huge gaps in where there should be things here.
00:43:49.000 Now we know what pieces are missing.
00:43:51.000 We know what to look for.
00:43:52.000 But it's also going to be able to predict what those pieces are going to be, especially on like, you know, things like elements, for instance, and particles and permutations of various compounds or whatever.
00:44:03.000 It's going to be able to be like this.
00:44:04.000 You know, I remember watching these old movies where The scientist, like, inputs into the computer, you know, a formula, and then presses enter, and then it's like, formula unstable, and I'm like, well, how's the computer know?
00:44:15.000 And I'm like, oh, back then, probably not, but today, yes.
00:44:17.000 Oh, yeah.
00:44:18.000 You'll be able to input a sequence, and then it'll tell you, like, here's what will happen if you do this.
00:44:21.000 It's gonna know much more than we can think.
00:44:23.000 It's gonna really advance, I think, exponentially, very fast.
00:44:26.000 Instantly.
00:44:27.000 Yeah.
00:44:27.000 It's gonna be a very, very quick transition.
00:44:30.000 Within ten years, it's gonna be really advanced.
00:44:32.000 I don't think ten years.
00:44:34.000 You think even faster than that?
00:44:35.000 Even faster than that, because when the singularity happens, it will be instant.
00:44:39.000 It's scary, because they'll use it against us somehow.
00:44:42.000 It always starts good.
00:44:43.000 It will use itself against us.
00:44:44.000 Yeah, it's going to be a tool that's going to end up probably destroying us like everything else ends up being.
00:44:49.000 We said, oh, Alexa, even Alexa was so good.
00:44:51.000 Alexa's reporting people to the cops.
00:44:54.000 I never understood the draw to Alexa because it's always listening.
00:44:57.000 It's always listening.
00:44:58.000 It's like you bugged your own home on behalf of Amazon.
00:45:00.000 How many crimes has Alexa turned in their owners for?
00:45:04.000 It's ridiculous.
00:45:05.000 Do they really?
00:45:06.000 Yeah.
00:45:06.000 I know a few people got caught on camera.
00:45:08.000 I don't know them personally, but I see them on.
00:45:10.000 You can subpoena the recordings from Alexa.
00:45:13.000 Yes.
00:45:13.000 The first thing you should do is get those things the hell out of your house.
00:45:16.000 It's craziness.
00:45:17.000 It's craziness.
00:45:18.000 I had a boss who was like, we'll put them in every office.
00:45:20.000 And I was like, I have to leave this job.
00:45:23.000 Everyone should understand that if you have concerns about Alexa, you should make sure you shouldn't have a smartphone.
00:45:28.000 No, you need to keep that in mind.
00:45:29.000 We should all move to the woods and the mountains.
00:45:31.000 I agree.
00:45:31.000 I mean, this is the hard thing, which is that I understand some technology is really valuable and can change the lives of people, advance business, this, that, and the other.
00:45:38.000 But ultimately, what are we sacrificing to pay for it, right?
00:45:41.000 All these things, especially, again, I go back to sort of the free access to AI or low-cost access to some AI programs that are essentially allowing you to test AI out, and it's testing you out.
00:45:54.000 There is a cost, and we're not going to know it until it's too late, and that's what I'm fearful of.
00:45:59.000 I have Alexa in my apartment, but I don't have Alexa at my house in New Hampshire.
00:46:04.000 Why would you have it in your apartment, Phil?
00:46:05.000 Because it's just the apartment.
00:46:06.000 It's not the house in New Hampshire.
00:46:08.000 You're crazy.
00:46:08.000 It's not the Fortress of Solitude.
00:46:10.000 You should protect all of the fortresses, even your satellite office here in West Virginia.
00:46:14.000 The apartment is not a fortress.
00:46:17.000 So you can talk to your dog when you're gone.
00:46:18.000 Is that what you're saying?
00:46:19.000 No.
00:46:21.000 A little bit?
00:46:22.000 No, no, not at all.
00:46:25.000 Let's just jump to this wild story here.
00:46:27.000 This was the big story of the day.
00:46:30.000 So, you know, we can talk about a lot of news, Donald Trump's being sued, but the story that was sweeping across the internet.
00:46:36.000 From Human Events.
00:46:37.000 British police open investigation into death of hockey player Adam Johnson, who was killed by opposing players Skateblade.
00:46:45.000 Uh, simple version of the story.
00:46:46.000 A dude got his throat slit by an ice hockey skate and then bled out in the ring.
00:46:52.000 Died, presumably, very, very quickly.
00:46:54.000 I mean, there's video of it.
00:46:55.000 It's horrifying.
00:46:57.000 However, the media kept calling this a freak accident over and over again.
00:47:01.000 And then, when the video came out, it looks like this dude, Matt Petgrave, raises his leg to kick the other guy.
00:47:09.000 And, uh, there's video of it.
00:47:10.000 I don't want to play the video because we're out here to play shock content.
00:47:13.000 But it does look like a kick, but I will play a little bit.
00:47:17.000 I won't show any of the aftermath because it's gruesome.
00:47:18.000 But the first thing I want to do is I want to show you this.
00:47:21.000 Jack Posobiec has this tweet in the article.
00:47:23.000 He says, read this to the end.
00:47:25.000 Let's read it.
00:47:26.000 So this is a post, I believe, that was on Reddit, and it says, to all the people calling Matt Petgrave a murderer, if you seriously think Matt Petgrave murdered Adam Johnson, go F yourself.
00:47:36.000 The guy was bawling his eyes out on the ice and in the dressing room, and probably still is right now.
00:47:40.000 He's going to have to live with this for the rest of his life, and the last thing he needs is people calling him a murderer.
00:47:44.000 The claim that he purposefully kicked his leg up has some merit and is a possibility, but to say that he meant to seriously hurt or kill Adam Johnson is pathetic and disgusting.
00:47:53.000 If he did purposefully put his leg out, He did so to get in the way of or block Adam Johnson from making progress as the puck carrier, not to slice his neck open.
00:48:02.000 His foot clearly clipped the skate of another player causing him to lose balance, so even if it did kick his leg out, he had very little control over where his leg was going.
00:48:10.000 Now notice, they say, it has merit that he raised his leg, but he didn't intend to do it.
00:48:15.000 Perhaps the man, Petgrave, was bawling his eyes out because he did try to kick this guy, didn't mean to kill him, but did, right?
00:48:22.000 So, a teenager is joyriding in his car and speeding, and then he crashes into someone killing him.
00:48:28.000 Is he crying his eyes out?
00:48:29.000 Yes.
00:48:30.000 The woman in New York City, the young woman, she pushed an old lady.
00:48:33.000 Old lady fell over and died.
00:48:34.000 Did she cry in court?
00:48:35.000 She sure did.
00:48:36.000 Does that mean that these people are innocent?
00:48:39.000 So we have this video.
00:48:42.000 And uh let me refresh it see if I can try and I don't want to play too much but I'm really wants to play at all uh let's see if we can pull it up and I don't want to play too much but I want to just scroll through you can see right here this is uh Matt Petgraven red highlighted and this is Adam Johnson and then you can see him He lifts his leg up.
00:49:02.000 There's no reason for him to raise his leg like that.
00:49:04.000 In fact, if he's losing his balance, that's the last thing he's going to want to do.
00:49:09.000 He raises his leg up right there.
00:49:09.000 Yeah.
00:49:11.000 You can see it.
00:49:12.000 And then hits this guy in the neck.
00:49:14.000 But not something we normally talk about, but this is basically the biggest story, I think, right now.
00:49:20.000 Yeah, it's like the only thing anybody's talking about.
00:49:23.000 And it's like it's causing a lot of contentious debate.
00:49:27.000 And as someone who doesn't... I played hockey when I was little.
00:49:29.000 So this was like...
00:49:31.000 It looks like murder to me.
00:49:32.000 Yeah.
00:49:33.000 I mean at least like an intentional manslaughter charges and like that because I've played hockey well well enough to know that like if I'm in the position he was in why would I be lifting my out my out my in this case inside leg that high there's just no there's no reason to maybe Adam Johnson was leaning down and that brought his neck in connection to like the blade but still everyone that uses skates knows that skates are sharp probably hasn't sharp too he's playing professionally or amateur I don't know.
00:49:56.000 Yes bro.
00:49:57.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:49:58.000 Pro stuff.
00:49:59.000 I mean, this guy knows, there's no question.
00:50:00.000 People are pointing out that the guy who did the kick has like the most penalties, but I don't know.
00:50:04.000 I don't, it's European hockey, so I don't know anything about it.
00:50:07.000 European hockey.
00:50:08.000 Yeah, they get the penalties for just using the wrong pronouns.
00:50:10.000 It's crazy.
00:50:11.000 That's right.
00:50:12.000 Straight to jail.
00:50:13.000 That's Europe, straight to jail.
00:50:14.000 Straight to jail.
00:50:15.000 Straight to hockey jail.
00:50:16.000 I don't know about murder, but manslaughter seems reasonable.
00:50:20.000 Murder, nope, nope.
00:50:21.000 And this is what really, this is one of the things that got me like, okay, we're going to talk, Human Events has a story.
00:50:27.000 Manslaughter would be like, you're speeding, uh, no actually that would still be like a negligent homicide, which I, I don't, the laws vary by state.
00:50:35.000 I think Illinois has negligent homicide.
00:50:37.000 And that's like, if you're speeding in your car and you hit somebody and they die.
00:50:42.000 Manslaughter is usually like, you're going too fast for the conditions, but you're going the speed limit.
00:50:47.000 You slip, hit the brakes, spin out of control, hit someone and kill them.
00:50:51.000 And then they say, you could have avoided this.
00:50:54.000 Manslaughter is usually like someone died as a result of you being irresponsible.
00:50:58.000 Yeah, right.
00:50:58.000 Whereas negligent homicide is like, you may have been committing a crime, you were speeding, but it's not like the most serious thing in the world.
00:51:06.000 And then in this instance, if dude was intentionally trying to kick the guy, That's grievous bodily harm murder.
00:51:13.000 If you intend to... Like that woman in New York, she shoved the old lady.
00:51:18.000 Yeah, she's going to prison for eight years.
00:51:20.000 That's it?
00:51:22.000 That's it?
00:51:22.000 Eight years?
00:51:23.000 She shoved the lady on purpose?
00:51:24.000 I'm sorry.
00:51:25.000 A young woman pushed an old lady.
00:51:26.000 On purpose.
00:51:27.000 On purpose.
00:51:28.000 And she died.
00:51:28.000 And the old lady fell down, hit her head and died.
00:51:30.000 And so they're putting the young woman in prison for eight years.
00:51:34.000 She should not be going to prison for eight years for that.
00:51:36.000 Okay, I didn't see this one, so I'm not sure.
00:51:38.000 Like, shoving someone is barely a misdemeanor.
00:51:40.000 Okay.
00:51:41.000 This woman in New York who did it... Oh, it wasn't into the subway.
00:51:44.000 She just shoved her gently.
00:51:45.000 She pushed her on the sidewalk.
00:51:45.000 No, no, no.
00:51:46.000 Oh, okay.
00:51:46.000 I thought she was... Because in New York, they're shoving everyone into the subway.
00:51:49.000 It's like you go on the subway, you're getting pushed into the subway.
00:51:51.000 Well, I can see your confusion on the issue.
00:51:53.000 No, she pushed an old lady on the sidewalk.
00:51:53.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:54.000 The old lady fell down and died.
00:51:55.000 Oh, okay, okay.
00:51:56.000 And then she was like...
00:51:58.000 I didn't mean to kill her, I just pushed her.
00:52:00.000 And so they gave her eight years just for that.
00:52:02.000 Now this dude kicked a guy in the... You know, was trying to kick a guy and he's wearing ice skates.
00:52:07.000 That's murder.
00:52:08.000 Second-degree murder.
00:52:09.000 Intending to cause bodily harm that results in death.
00:52:12.000 I mean, I just can't imagine being anyone that was on the ice that day.
00:52:17.000 You know what I mean?
00:52:17.000 I mean, every report that I saw said that the guy died basically on live TV and that's tragic.
00:52:24.000 The crazy thing is...
00:52:27.000 On the 28th, I was in Pittsburgh.
00:52:29.000 Such a great city, I've heard.
00:52:30.000 It is a great city.
00:52:32.000 And I was walking with Allison, my girlfriend, and I left my coat at the hotel.
00:52:37.000 And so, you know, it started to drizzle a little bit.
00:52:40.000 It wasn't super cold out, but the drizzle was a little chilly.
00:52:42.000 And I'm like, well, I should grab a light jacket or something.
00:52:44.000 I don't actually have one.
00:52:44.000 I have like a crazy snowboard jacket.
00:52:46.000 And so there's a bunch of these stores and they're all selling Steelers merch, Pittsburgh Steelers, football.
00:52:50.000 And so I'm like, I'll just get like a Steelers thing.
00:52:52.000 It'll be like a souvenir.
00:52:53.000 I'll grab it.
00:52:53.000 I go into the store.
00:52:55.000 Everything is Steelers, this Steelers, that.
00:52:57.000 And then I walk in the back and there's this gray, like, waterproof thin jacket.
00:53:00.000 I'm like, I'll grab this.
00:53:02.000 And then as I walk up to the counter, I notice it's a Pittsburgh Penguins jacket.
00:53:08.000 And I was like, oh, it's hockey.
00:53:10.000 I was like, I don't even know what this is.
00:53:12.000 Because they're off-season right now.
00:53:13.000 This guy, on that day when I was buying that, Uh, used to play for the- this guy used to play for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
00:53:13.000 I forget about hockey.
00:53:20.000 He's now playing in, uh, in the UK.
00:53:24.000 Was he playing for the Panthers?
00:53:25.000 No, no, not the Panthers.
00:53:26.000 I'm not sure.
00:53:27.000 But he's playing in the UK, used to play on the Penguins, and the guy, Petgrave, is on a team called the Sheffield Steelers.
00:53:34.000 So weird.
00:53:35.000 I just thought that was kind of weird that a guy who played in the Penguins, at the same time as this is happening, I'm buying a Penguins jacket by accident at a Steelers store, a fan store, and the guy who clipped him in the neck played for the Steelers.
00:53:50.000 Hmm.
00:53:51.000 I don't know, man.
00:53:53.000 What do they think they're gonna do?
00:53:54.000 Do we think they're gonna do anything about this?
00:53:55.000 They're investigating him.
00:53:57.000 Oh, I mean, dude, the UK?
00:53:58.000 Nah.
00:53:59.000 They're gonna investigate him and they're gonna let him go and they're gonna arrest his neighbor for selling the wrong product.
00:54:03.000 That would be very racist.
00:54:03.000 Oh, he's black.
00:54:05.000 Also, it was listed in the chat here that he has 71 penalties in 11 games.
00:54:05.000 Yeah.
00:54:05.000 Yeah, definitely.
00:54:10.000 Is that a lot?
00:54:11.000 I mean, 71 penalties is quite a bit.
00:54:13.000 You're definitely...
00:54:14.000 71 in 11 games?
00:54:15.000 That's like...
00:54:16.000 I don't...
00:54:17.000 I'm not a math guy, but that's like...
00:54:18.000 It's a lot.
00:54:19.000 Yeah, it's quite a bit.
00:54:20.000 It's a lot.
00:54:21.000 It's numerous ones per game.
00:54:22.000 It would be interesting to see this go to trial.
00:54:23.000 I don't know what the charge would be, but, you know, the defense obviously can argue
00:54:27.000 in a murder case, you know, he...
00:54:29.000 It was an accident, he was on ice, he didn't mean to, whatever else, and then the other
00:54:33.000 people have all these things to point with already.
00:54:35.000 I mean, if the media has dug up his penalty record, what else is there?
00:54:39.000 I mean, did these people exchange worlds in the locker room?
00:54:42.000 There's all kinds of avenues to pursue.
00:54:43.000 Nah, they're playing on different teams.
00:54:46.000 I'm not sharing a locker room.
00:54:46.000 You know what I mean?
00:54:47.000 Like, any kind of argument to say this guy has a history of being aggressive, it would be interesting.
00:54:52.000 I don't think anyone would be satisfied by the outcome, ultimately.
00:54:56.000 Yeah, it'll be a lot of controversy.
00:54:57.000 Well, hockey is an aggressive sport, so most of them are pretty aggressive.
00:55:03.000 Oh yeah, he does play for the Panthers, I think.
00:55:05.000 Yeah, the Nottingham Panthers.
00:55:07.000 Nottingham, yeah.
00:55:08.000 Yep.
00:55:09.000 I had no idea the UK did hockey, not at all.
00:55:12.000 European League.
00:55:13.000 Yeah, no clue.
00:55:14.000 Yes, so a lot of people are saying, you know, Ian Milestrong says it should be manslaughter at minimum.
00:55:20.000 And I can't believe... Manslaughter is just like...
00:55:26.000 No, it's murder.
00:55:28.000 If you, if you, if like, if you attack someone and they die, you murdered them.
00:55:35.000 But I guess the argument is because they're playing sports or something.
00:55:38.000 There's a degree of like mutual understanding of physical bodily harm or whatever.
00:55:42.000 Yeah, but they've got to understand, you put your leg up, you're wearing a blade on you.
00:55:45.000 They do that.
00:55:46.000 And murder, you have to prove intent, right?
00:55:49.000 I mean, that's part of it.
00:55:50.000 Whereas manslaughter is different.
00:55:52.000 Manslaughter is just, he died.
00:55:53.000 Yeah, he died because of your action.
00:55:55.000 I don't know if they have the laws exactly the same over there.
00:55:57.000 We're talking about it through the American legal system.
00:55:59.000 I don't know what their legal system is over there.
00:56:01.000 I lived over there, but I never murdered or manslaughtered anyone, so I don't know.
00:56:05.000 You didn't have to experience it first hand?
00:56:06.000 No, I never had to, so... You know what's crazy?
00:56:08.000 A lot of people are bringing up the Clint Malarchick.
00:56:11.000 Is that how you pronounce his name?
00:56:12.000 Malarchick?
00:56:14.000 1989.
00:56:14.000 There's a video of this too.
00:56:16.000 He's a goalie.
00:56:18.000 They crash into him, and then he got his throat slit as well.
00:56:21.000 And then, Serge was mentioning this, like, the guy runs up and then, like, pinches the artery shut or whatever.
00:56:26.000 That's crazy, like, I don't even know what you do.
00:56:28.000 Like, I don't even understand how a doctor could save a person who's bleeding from their neck.
00:56:33.000 Like, what do you do to stop that?
00:56:35.000 Because the blood's gotta go to your brain, man.
00:56:37.000 Can they like pinch it off and the blood just comes from the other side or something?
00:56:41.000 That's crazy.
00:56:42.000 If you can prevent it from getting out of the body, like if you pinch and close it, like if you can basically put your thumb over without actually stopping all the blood, I suppose.
00:56:52.000 It keeps the flow going?
00:56:54.000 I mean, not that I'm saying that it would be easy, or that it's something, like a task I could accomplish, but a doctor, I assume.
00:56:59.000 Yeah, but not on a hockey field, probably, in that... Well, no, they do!
00:57:02.000 I mean, he did!
00:57:03.000 Oh, yeah.
00:57:03.000 Yeah, 1989.
00:57:03.000 Oh, yeah.
00:57:04.000 Guy ran up and, like, grabbed his neck and pinched the artery shut and saved his life.
00:57:07.000 This one, I guess they didn't know what to do.
00:57:09.000 Well, I mean, now the doctors are all affirmative action doctors hired for... There was no doctors.
00:57:14.000 Yeah, well, whatever.
00:57:14.000 There were none.
00:57:15.000 They're on a hockey field, on a hockey rink, and they all just, like, he's holding it, and it's just spraying and pouring out.
00:57:23.000 Well, and they probably take that guy with his thumb in the neck to the hospital with him.
00:57:27.000 They can't pull his finger out until the last second, until they're ready to do something.
00:57:29.000 I believe the guy in the video with Malachuk was an ex-combat vet from Vietnam, so he'd encountered it before.
00:57:37.000 He knew what he had to do, which is a really particular thing, but... Man.
00:57:41.000 God.
00:57:42.000 It's crazy when I see these stories because people need to realize a single sentence can save a person's life.
00:57:48.000 Yeah, true.
00:57:48.000 I'm not saying anything could have been done here, I really don't know.
00:57:50.000 If you watch the video, I mean, blood is spraying out so profusely.
00:57:54.000 Apparently within 10 seconds he collapsed onto the floor and then he was dead.
00:57:57.000 Like he lost way too much blood.
00:57:58.000 Probably before they could even pull the cameras away.
00:58:00.000 I mean, that's the craziest thing, how fast this happened.
00:58:03.000 But there's a lot of stories of people who die and don't need to if people just knew, like, a single sentence.
00:58:12.000 You know?
00:58:12.000 So in this instance, like, what do you do when someone's got a femoral bleed or arterial bleed or whatever if someone just said to you, The single sentence of how to make a tourniquet, you could save a person's life.
00:58:28.000 And it's the craziest thing I think about this, like the time span between someone is injured, 30 seconds later, they're dead.
00:58:36.000 They lost too much blood.
00:58:37.000 And if you only knew that one sentence, they'd be alive right now.
00:58:42.000 That's scary.
00:58:42.000 Or if you had first aid equipment on you, you know, it's not, it's not hard to carry a blowout kit.
00:58:48.000 I got a tourniquet like sitting under the table here, man.
00:58:54.000 That's crazy.
00:58:55.000 You're not going to do any good for a jugular butt.
00:59:00.000 I always think about these moments, man.
00:59:02.000 There's a viral video on YouTube.
00:59:04.000 It's an old video of sports injuries that result in paralysis, and it's this nightmare fuel.
00:59:10.000 But there's one video where a guy playing basketball gets frustrated, so he bangs his head on the bar, whatever you call it, the bar that holds up the hoop.
00:59:18.000 He's just angry.
00:59:19.000 He's like, oh!
00:59:19.000 And he hits his head, and then he goes rigid and falls over.
00:59:22.000 Paralyzed.
00:59:23.000 Forever.
00:59:23.000 Yeah, forever.
00:59:24.000 God.
00:59:25.000 Yup.
00:59:25.000 Cause it like, he hit it and it like, hit it, it got, hit something in his neck and then his neck went out and then he fell down and he was like, that's it.
00:59:31.000 He can't move.
00:59:32.000 There's that crazy video of that girl trying to do the milk crate challenge.
00:59:35.000 Oh God.
00:59:36.000 You know if they're doing that kind of shit.
00:59:38.000 She falls down and then she's like on her, her spine.
00:59:41.000 It's like, ugh.
00:59:42.000 No, the one I saw was this girl was at a bachelorette party and someone pushed her into a pool.
00:59:45.000 I think it was the bride and then she's paralyzed.
00:59:48.000 From falling in the pool?
00:59:50.000 She hit like the edge, it was like an above-ground pool, and she hit the edge of it.
00:59:53.000 What do you do from that?
00:59:56.000 I can't remember if she's paralyzed or she died, but it was really, really bad.
01:00:00.000 These things that people do accidentally can have extreme consequences.
01:00:03.000 That's where, like, with the hockey video, I think he probably intentionally kicked his leg up, but was it intentional, like, I'm trying to kill him?
01:00:11.000 You're not gonna kill someone on camera in front of all those people.
01:00:14.000 You know what I mean?
01:00:15.000 If you're angry at him, you wanna go kill him, you're gonna take him out bad.
01:00:17.000 He thought he was gonna kick him.
01:00:18.000 So yeah, because it makes sense the pads you're wearing hockey game kick right here would not be life-ending But I think he probably was leaning too far forward.
01:00:25.000 He's like it's you're on ice.
01:00:26.000 You know, I don't know what happened He really leaned too forward and he connected with the neck and that's man.
01:00:30.000 So it's all good.
01:00:31.000 So it's gonna happen one cut That's crazy I feel bad for the families, to be honest.
01:00:37.000 They're having to watch everyone speculate about all this.
01:00:39.000 Both sides on air.
01:00:41.000 It must be awful to be going through this right now.
01:00:43.000 Well, I guess the question of imprisonment and criminal charges is, what are we trying to do?
01:00:48.000 What is the goal?
01:00:49.000 Did this guy, Matt Petgrave, intentionally kick Adam Johnson to kill him?
01:00:52.000 I don't think anyone thinks Petgrave was trying to kill the guy.
01:00:55.000 No.
01:00:56.000 So how is putting him in prison serving anyone's goals?
01:01:00.000 It makes the family of Adam Johnson feel better.
01:01:03.000 I don't know if that's the appropriate means of how we spend money on our taxes.
01:01:09.000 I mean, great, it's the UK, I get it.
01:01:10.000 But thinking about it in the United States, like I was talking about that woman who pushed the old lady, and I'm like, why is she going to prison for eight years?
01:01:18.000 She pushed an old lady.
01:01:18.000 She'll never do it again.
01:01:19.000 She's probably traumatized.
01:01:21.000 So what's the point of prison?
01:01:23.000 It's to make the family of the old lady feel better because now she's being punished for eight years.
01:01:27.000 Well, that's gonna destroy her life.
01:01:28.000 I don't think it's actually fixing any of the problems.
01:01:31.000 Perhaps the idea is we'll send a message.
01:01:33.000 They want to make an example so that everybody knows that if you push an old lady and she dies, you're gonna prison like this lady.
01:01:38.000 And then it's just like you're sacrificing one person for a message to be sent to everybody else.
01:01:42.000 I'm never a fan of this.
01:01:43.000 Yeah, I think it's a fear of people who exhibit somewhat violent tendencies.
01:01:47.000 How do we manage that?
01:01:48.000 I mean, think about the guy, and his name is slipping my mind right now, who Daniel Penney had in that chokehold on the subway, and then he had this consistent history of attacking people on the subway.
01:01:58.000 kill anyone as far as I know, but on the other hand caused very serious bodily harm, broke, you know, an elderly woman's jaw, different things like that.
01:02:05.000 He had a consistent pattern of violence and there were minimal, you know, interactions with social workers and the criminal justice system and ultimately, you know, he was once again in a position to be dangerous and violent.
01:02:18.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:02:18.000 No, Daniel Perrini, he did a great service that day.
01:02:21.000 Yeah.
01:02:21.000 I mean, it's just a question of, you know, what is the point and role of the criminal justice system?
01:02:28.000 And, you know, you don't want to punish people too harshly who have learned a lesson.
01:02:32.000 On the other hand, we know that there are people who escalate in their violence over time.
01:02:35.000 Currently, the criminal justice system is to manufacture the proper opinions and to punish people for having the right opinions and behaving It's a joke.
01:02:47.000 You have CVS.
01:02:47.000 They have pictures in DC on 8th Street.
01:02:50.000 They have pictures of the toilet paper rolls so you can tell the people the brand that you want, but they don't have the actual toilet paper out because it'll be stolen.
01:02:58.000 So we're talking about a criminal justice system like that.
01:03:01.000 Let me pull up this story.
01:03:02.000 We got this from NBC Bay Area.
01:03:05.000 Alameda County D.A.
01:03:06.000 Pamela Price's work laptop stolen from SUV in Oakland, sources say.
01:03:12.000 That's right.
01:03:12.000 The D.A.
01:03:14.000 in, one of the D.A.' 's in the Bay Area, who is apparently soft on crime, is now the victim of soft on crime policies.
01:03:22.000 This isn't the first one.
01:03:23.000 I had a story last week about the New Orleans Soros-backed D.A.
01:03:27.000 who was carjacked, I think, with his mom.
01:03:29.000 Good.
01:03:30.000 Well, I mean, it's not good.
01:03:31.000 It needs to happen.
01:03:32.000 Yes, but they want it to happen.
01:03:35.000 Yeah.
01:03:35.000 Well, then good that it happens to them because they need to learn.
01:03:38.000 They need to have no mercy on these people.
01:03:40.000 I see what you're saying, right?
01:03:42.000 And we laugh because of Schadenfreude, but the problem is the Alameda County DA is probably laughing with you.
01:03:47.000 Do you think?
01:03:48.000 Absolutely!
01:03:49.000 They intentionally do this and what happens then they go, it worked.
01:03:52.000 We did it.
01:03:52.000 We won.
01:03:53.000 We have destroyed the city.
01:03:54.000 Yay!
01:03:55.000 And then what happens is conservatives are like, haha, great, we agree.
01:03:58.000 And they're like, these idiots are agreeing with us.
01:04:00.000 These people are destroying our once great cities and conservatives are laughing along with them.
01:04:04.000 What are we going to do about them?
01:04:06.000 Vote them out!
01:04:08.000 Unless the populations decide that they want to vote these people out, this is going to continue to happen.
01:04:15.000 And it's been going on for the better part of ten years.
01:04:18.000 It didn't just happen overnight.
01:04:20.000 These DAs and stuff, they've won multiple elections, they've got their Their administration's well-entrenched into the local areas, and until the population decides I'm tired of it, it's not going to change.
01:04:38.000 Not for nothing, but your average person that has kids and a job that doesn't pay attention to politics all the time, they don't really pay much attention.
01:04:47.000 They don't know what's going on.
01:04:49.000 They're not aware.
01:04:50.000 And when you tell them, I've had the experience myself, I'll tell my friends that are left-leaning, I was just in California a couple weeks ago, I'll tell my friends that are left-leaning about things and they just don't believe it.
01:04:59.000 They're astounded.
01:05:00.000 They have no idea.
01:05:03.000 I don't blame them because, look, you got a family, that's the most important thing in your life.
01:05:07.000 You got kids, that's the most important thing in your life.
01:05:09.000 I get it, but you do have to be aware of what is going on in your own municipality.
01:05:16.000 We've got a guy in Philly named Larry Krasner.
01:05:18.000 He's a disaster.
01:05:19.000 Nobody even knows his name.
01:05:20.000 They don't even know his name.
01:05:22.000 This guy has turned the city into a complete disaster.
01:05:26.000 Not that we were ever great.
01:05:27.000 It's been a disaster since I've been born.
01:05:29.000 But right now what we have, you can't even go downtown anymore.
01:05:32.000 And this, what was this woman doing with a laptop in her car visible, by the way?
01:05:37.000 How stupid.
01:05:37.000 This is how stupid these people are.
01:05:40.000 Well, who knows?
01:05:41.000 It probably was not visible.
01:05:43.000 Who knows?
01:05:43.000 Uh, because they smash out- so what people are doing now in the Bay Area is they're leaving the back gates of their vans and SUVs open and they're leaving the doors open.
01:05:53.000 Why?
01:05:54.000 So that the criminals won't smash out the windows to come and so if the doors- right.
01:05:59.000 So they walk up to any car with nothing in it and they'll smash the windows out and then check the trunk and then leave.
01:06:04.000 That's why we got the Second Amendment.
01:06:06.000 And we're seeing this taking place throughout the United States in all of these Democratic run-down districts.
01:06:14.000 People, when you keep voting for the same people and you are expecting a different outcome, it's not gonna happen.
01:06:22.000 That's the Internet's definition of insanity.
01:06:25.000 Like Phil mentioned, these people don't know.
01:06:28.000 And, you know, I can say proudly That, uh, the past few holiday cycles, I've encountered many people who engage exactly as Phil said.
01:06:38.000 You'll say something like, yes, X happened, and they'll go, that's not true!
01:06:41.000 There's no way!
01:06:43.000 And then, uh, this is two years ago, and last year they're like, you know, I read that, and then I was reading this thing too, and it's like people are starting to realize.
01:06:49.000 Ian was mentioning this a couple weeks ago, that whenever a crazy story comes out, he immediately has to call his mom to make sure he gets the information to her before the mainstream media can put some cover up over it.
01:06:58.000 Yeah.
01:06:58.000 Ian is his own breaking news to his mom.
01:07:00.000 Mom, you're gonna hear this story, here's the link, it's from this article, they're gonna come out and they're gonna say something, and then he's like, if I don't tell her, she'll believe some crazy nonsense later on.
01:07:09.000 Yeah, my mother watches that stuff, and the things that she believes, she's probably watching this, but she's never watched the podcast before, I know that much, but, you know, the things that you believe, if you only get your news from the mainstream media, it's unbelievably sad how misinformed these people are.
01:07:25.000 And willingly, willingly, it's all out there, we know it, we found out.
01:07:29.000 To some degree, to some extent, I agree with you.
01:07:32.000 I harp on Barack Obama in the 2012, I think it was, NDAA that repealed the Smith-Munt or had the Smith-Munt Modernization Act.
01:07:40.000 Essentially, what it said is that for since the 40s, the federal government wasn't allowed to propagandize the American people.
01:07:48.000 Essentially, they couldn't produce materials for dissemination inside the United States.
01:07:52.000 And in 2000, I think it was 12, The Smith Modernization Act was part of the NDAA that Barack Obama signed.
01:08:01.000 And it happened just at the time that the smartphone was coming into everyone's pocket and social media with the like button was essentially the most powerful mind control tool ever invented.
01:08:15.000 And so you've got people that are in the tech industry and stuff like that are producing these applications.
01:08:25.000 Draw people in and people love to use them and the federal government is given free reign to feed these tech industries tech companies and Whatever information they want and the media and the tech companies do it willingly There was no need for payoff or anything because what they what the federal government offered was access if you do these things you scratch my back I'll scratch yours and that was the beginning of the the The tech companies in my opinion becoming a part of the military industrial complex And you never hear the Republicans who are supposed to be on our side about the propaganda stuff.
01:08:58.000 You never hear them talk about that act.
01:09:00.000 There's one candidate in Texas, Caroline Kane, only person I've ever heard bring it up.
01:09:00.000 And you never will.
01:09:05.000 I'm pretty sure that there's a guy running that will talk about it, the AK guy, Brian I forget Bryn's last name, but he'll talk about it, he mentioned it.
01:09:14.000 But it's something that people need to know.
01:09:16.000 The fact that the federal government is not only allowed to disseminate information into the population, but is doing it in conjunction with tech companies that have the ability to literally control people's opinions.
01:09:33.000 People will behave in remarkably different ways if they get likes or they get approval from their friends.
01:09:42.000 And that's exactly what the like button does.
01:09:44.000 It gives people that little dopamine hit and those small, those kind of small dopamine hits
01:09:49.000 that are not something that is a big deal.
01:09:52.000 It's a little bit all the time.
01:09:54.000 It flies under the radar and it has had a massive, massive impact on the population.
01:09:59.000 People talk about how in 2012, 2013, everything seems so much crazier now than before that.
01:10:06.000 And you hear people my age talking about that all the time.
01:10:08.000 And I truly believe that it is because prior to 2012, 2011, you didn't have the kind of consistent propaganda I don't think so.
01:10:20.000 You said it yourself with the algorithms.
01:10:23.000 Yeah, but that's private sector.
01:10:24.000 That was before the repealing of this act, and the U.S.
01:10:29.000 government has been propagandizing for a long time.
01:10:31.000 A lot of the stuff that we see leaked from WikiLeaks, for instance, and from other hacker groups around that time show they were doing this well before.
01:10:37.000 And I think what they ultimately did with this was more overt.
01:10:40.000 It was the Simpsons-esque super liminal.
01:10:42.000 Where they just launch these American-backed foreign media companies.
01:10:50.000 I don't think that repealing this Propaganda Act is what made everything crazy.
01:10:54.000 I think it's social media and the internet.
01:10:56.000 And that's why the 90s was the last decade.
01:10:58.000 Right?
01:10:59.000 Like every decade is easily discernible, except for the 2000s and beyond.
01:11:03.000 It's a big mess.
01:11:04.000 Yeah.
01:11:05.000 And it's because the internet fractured global culture, American culture, and has continued to.
01:11:11.000 I think it's going to be rebuilding itself, though.
01:11:13.000 I think it shatters into all these different pockets where people start listening to very specific things, specific people, and you no longer have... I said this 10 years ago.
01:11:24.000 I was at a conference.
01:11:25.000 I said, fame is done because of the internet.
01:11:27.000 And I was like, you're going to have famous people, but it's not going to be like, you know, actually Phil and I were talking about this, like Metallica, the biggest band ever.
01:11:36.000 But it's because there was a period where culture was more unified, and there were fewer channels to get access to music, Metallica being the best, got everybody.
01:11:46.000 But now, there's probably a band, very, very, very good, very great music, but they have a much harder time reaching as many people because it's no longer straight top-down broadcast tower, it's more even out.
01:11:55.000 Everything is niche now.
01:11:57.000 But I'm kind of thinking that things will start to re-coalesce again.
01:12:00.000 They'll start to come back together for a combination of reasons.
01:12:03.000 One, people are, like, power naturally does this.
01:12:05.000 And so we're seeing people want to be like each other, so there's trends and they want to follow these trends.
01:12:10.000 But more importantly, the powers that be are desperately trying to cobble back together the broadcast tower so they can have singular control over what people think.
01:12:19.000 And we see that a lot, you know, some, like the elderly population, they stay home all day, they watch the news channels all day, and they believe everything that's being shown on the news.
01:12:33.000 You know, they don't search for any type of education to dispel anything that they're seeing on the TV.
01:12:39.000 So that's why it's so important that you talk to them, you know, help people understand that everything that you're seeing on the media isn't necessarily true.
01:12:49.000 Because the elderly in particular were raised in a different era of information, right?
01:12:53.000 I mean, when you only had the radio, we had like four channels.
01:12:56.000 It's very different.
01:12:57.000 Not that you necessarily should have believed everything.
01:12:59.000 They could lie way better then.
01:13:00.000 It could lie way better then, but also there was very few outlets to challenge it, and now we have a lot of ways to challenge information.
01:13:07.000 In fact, it can happen so rapidly it's often hard to keep up with, and I think that's where people who are not as engaged, either because of their age or because of their lifestyle, sort of get lost.
01:13:17.000 They can only get the headlines, and that's not enough.
01:13:20.000 I've talked about my show idea a couple times here, which is more like a half-assed show idea because it's like never gonna get made.
01:13:27.000 But the idea being that in the future, I'll give you the very quick version, the planet basically is post-apocalyptic, there's one city left, it's the last city, it's relatively big, and no one has any idea what happened to humanity or how civilization collapsed.
01:13:39.000 Long story short, it turns out All of humanity still exists, they just are in underground bunkers in the metaverse, plugged their brains into the Neuralink.
01:13:46.000 And the reason why the last city doesn't know this is because they consume information in a dramatically different way.
01:13:52.000 The idea for that is basically because it's happening now.
01:13:55.000 Older people don't know how to use, I'm not saying they absolutely don't, I'm saying most old people don't use Twitter, don't use TikTok or Instagram, and get their information only From the authority figures on TV, so they are living in bubble world.
01:14:11.000 And when you go to them and you're like, hey, here's a thing that's true, what you're believing is fake, they're like, I don't know what you're talking about.
01:14:15.000 You're like, let me show you the tweet.
01:14:16.000 I don't know what that is.
01:14:18.000 You may as well be going to someone and being like, you don't know what's going on with Joe Biden because you're not in the metaverse plugged into the neural link and getting the information down.
01:14:26.000 Oh, there it is.
01:14:27.000 New information proving his corruption.
01:14:29.000 And then they're like, what information?
01:14:30.000 Yeah, he took $200,000.
01:14:31.000 How do you know that?
01:14:32.000 It was wired right to my brain.
01:14:34.000 If you were plugged in, you'd know it too.
01:14:35.000 I don't know how to plug into that stuff.
01:14:36.000 I'm going to turn on CNN.
01:14:38.000 CNN doesn't talk about it.
01:14:39.000 That's basically the gist of the story I was making up is basically see that what we're seeing now with how people consume information.
01:14:47.000 You can go to your friends and family, and there's a reason why your older relatives and family holidays don't know these things and don't believe you, because they're not plugged in the same way all of you are.
01:14:55.000 I mean, if you're watching this show, you are plugged in.
01:14:59.000 Yeah, you're engaged in a different way.
01:15:00.000 And I think that's one of the interesting things that we'll see happen with definitely Millennials, probably Gen Z, is that they are, I mean, I know more and more people, and I wish I had the data with me on me to prove this, but one of the biggest changes culturally is that people don't have cable anymore.
01:15:17.000 There are tons of families that just don't have it, you know.
01:15:20.000 college students who are getting their first apartments or young adults, whatever, they
01:15:23.000 don't get cable because they only need wi-fi because they stream everything anyways.
01:15:27.000 There is a complete disconnection from an entity that used to have access. Maybe that's good.
01:15:33.000 On the other hand, they are reliant on a very decentralized way of getting
01:15:38.000 information and that could also be bad. I mean this is why...
01:15:40.000 Well, kind of.
01:15:42.000 I mean, it's centralized, too, that it's on TikTok.
01:15:44.000 It's on the same platform.
01:15:45.000 It's not on the internet anymore.
01:15:46.000 Like, our millennial generation grew up with the internet and going to different sites and stuff.
01:15:49.000 Now it's on platforms, and these platforms have organizations behind these pages.
01:15:53.000 So it's another centralization of a news source, which then, unfortunately, leaves it really vulnerable to this sort of, like, top-down control media narrative saying, like, it's going to be one way or the other, and this is the only way to hear the story.
01:15:53.000 Yeah.
01:16:03.000 Big, big agendas.
01:16:03.000 Yeah.
01:16:04.000 We got this, uh, this story, London and UK Street News, pro-Palestinian activists throw live mice into McDonald's.
01:16:14.000 I kid you not, here's the video clip.
01:16:17.000 Alright, we'll turn that down.
01:16:19.000 And you've got the Free Palestine, they've got the- They died the mice?
01:16:23.000 Like, seriously, don't do anything like this because, dude, what- like, that's so mean to the mice.
01:16:28.000 Let alone the illegality of doing this.
01:16:31.000 Look at this.
01:16:33.000 This is pro-Palestinian activists walking to a McDonald's.
01:16:36.000 This is in the UK.
01:16:37.000 They say rats at McDonald's, but these are clearly mice.
01:16:41.000 That's so messed up, dude.
01:16:44.000 Those poor mice.
01:16:45.000 Those mice are probably gonna get killed now for no reason.
01:16:48.000 They should be fed to a snake or something.
01:16:50.000 And they want you to do it at other places?
01:16:53.000 What is the point of ruining the community that you live in?
01:16:57.000 They say, hold on, look at this, they say Starbucks, they say target, targeted boycott the big three.
01:17:04.000 Start by boycotting these brands that are directly involved in supporting the Israeli apartheid.
01:17:08.000 Starbucks, McDonald's, and Disney Channel.
01:17:12.000 Well, OK.
01:17:12.000 How does that help their cause?
01:17:13.000 I mean, who is going to say, oh, yeah, they threw rats.
01:17:15.000 We got to be on Palestine's side.
01:17:17.000 It's just a malicious and disruptive thing.
01:17:19.000 And it's disruptive to business.
01:17:20.000 I mean, that's the point, right?
01:17:21.000 You release mice into a restaurant, they have to shut down for a couple hours.
01:17:24.000 In a McDonald's?
01:17:25.000 Maybe not.
01:17:26.000 I don't know.
01:17:27.000 The thread that runs through a lot of the protests and stuff like that is just anti-Western, anti-capitalism.
01:17:33.000 So the whole Palestinian thing, like the Palestinians are fighting the Israelis.
01:17:38.000 The Israelis are generally looked at as a Western democracy.
01:17:42.000 This is an attack on capitalism, they think, or they would probably consider an attack on capitalism, an attack on Western consumerism, an attack on actual Western, you know, things that are in the West, you know, so the fact that The left is kind of a monolith now.
01:18:00.000 I think that that's part of why it's playing out like this.
01:18:03.000 And nothing will happen to them in London, and they know that.
01:18:06.000 London is a disgrace.
01:18:07.000 The entire UK is a disgrace, what they let people get away with.
01:18:10.000 That's why it's such a disaster.
01:18:12.000 The amount of raping, the acid attacks.
01:18:17.000 They're literally arresting people for quietly praying outside of an abortion clinic.
01:18:23.000 There's a lot of those videos.
01:18:23.000 Yeah, several times.
01:18:25.000 Multiple people get arrested for literally standing there and not saying anything.
01:18:29.000 There are many people.
01:18:30.000 I knew a woman over there who went to jail just because she used to go and protest in Hyde Park.
01:18:34.000 She used to not protest but, you know, Speaker's Corner, which was supposed to be all about free speech.
01:18:39.000 They arrested this woman I know two times because they didn't like her speech.
01:18:42.000 Well, it's Speaker's Corner.
01:18:43.000 That's the point of it.
01:18:44.000 It's a clown show.
01:18:45.000 The whole of Europe has become woke.
01:18:47.000 That's why they're being taken over.
01:18:49.000 That's why the whole place is being destroyed.
01:18:51.000 And they want us to pay for their defense.
01:18:53.000 Yeah, sure.
01:18:54.000 We shouldn't be giving them a thing.
01:18:55.000 We should be out of NATO.
01:18:56.000 We should let them just do whatever they want.
01:18:58.000 Out of NATO.
01:18:59.000 Out of NATO.
01:18:59.000 Get out.
01:19:00.000 Get out.
01:19:00.000 Let them fend for themselves.
01:19:02.000 You want to be woke?
01:19:02.000 You want to be all into that crap?
01:19:04.000 Get out.
01:19:04.000 They'll be invaded.
01:19:05.000 This is going to be really interesting though.
01:19:07.000 It's basically what's happening is the American people are basically fed up With the failures of Europe and us footing the bill.
01:19:14.000 Yeah.
01:19:15.000 And we've been footing the bills since basically World War I. Yeah.
01:19:18.000 And why?
01:19:19.000 They're letting themselves become invaded.
01:19:22.000 They're allowing, even Italy, Spain, all these countries, they get people over from North Africa all day.
01:19:28.000 They come in, they have no respect for the culture of Europe, no respect for the history of Europe.
01:19:33.000 They come in, they rape all the women like it's their job.
01:19:36.000 They do all these awful, awful things to the communities.
01:19:39.000 They take over entire towns.
01:19:42.000 What are we supposed to do, bail them out?
01:19:44.000 When it turns hot?
01:19:45.000 When it gets into a real bad part?
01:19:46.000 Right, so the issue is the unchecked immigration and these videos of people landing on boats and rushing into the country.
01:19:54.000 I don't think the issue is immigration.
01:19:57.000 No, not immigration as a whole, but these are people that nobody knows who they are.
01:20:00.000 Somebody came with a goat yesterday on an NGO boat into Italy.
01:20:04.000 It was a video of, well, it could have been an emotional support goat.
01:20:07.000 It's an asylum seeker, what are you talking about?
01:20:09.000 It's an asylum seeker with his... It's not an asylum seeker.
01:20:11.000 ...partner, or whatever you want to call it.
01:20:12.000 No, a goat is not seeking asylum, that's true.
01:20:14.000 Well, the goat might be, because God knows what's happening to him on that boat.
01:20:17.000 But goats are based, and we like goats.
01:20:20.000 And the issue is... This is where I want to be careful of not conflating.
01:20:24.000 If there's a legitimate asylum case.
01:20:26.000 And the issue is... But how do we know?
01:20:28.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:20:29.000 They're not asylees.
01:20:30.000 None of them.
01:20:30.000 They're not asylees.
01:20:31.000 They're not.
01:20:32.000 These people are economic migrants as per the UN.
01:20:35.000 So when people are like...
01:20:37.000 I think it's important to draw the distinction specifically because it's the argument used by the left to justify having no border security.
01:20:43.000 So, AOC specifically saying they're legal asylums.
01:20:46.000 No, no, no.
01:20:47.000 The people that we're upset about are quite literally the people who are criminals, not the immigrants and the asylum seekers who are either legitimately coming here because they love this country or they want to seek opportunity and they're fine with the paperwork.
01:20:59.000 The people that are the issue are the people who are breaking the laws, coming here, and then continue, cartel members, etc, etc, and then they're going and committing crimes.
01:21:09.000 Right, right.
01:21:10.000 And it's an insult to people who do it the right way.
01:21:12.000 And the left is trying to make sure that when we talk about it, it's one group.
01:21:16.000 Yes.
01:21:16.000 Instead of completely separate groups of people.
01:21:19.000 If people really liked, as for Europe, you know, the problem is they're not having kids.
01:21:19.000 Right.
01:21:24.000 None.
01:21:25.000 Yeah, I don't know if this is true.
01:21:27.000 People are saying that Italy hasn't recorded a birth in a few months like this.
01:21:29.000 I don't think that's true.
01:21:30.000 What did they say?
01:21:31.000 Italy hasn't recorded a birth period?
01:21:33.000 In three months.
01:21:34.000 Oh, please.
01:21:34.000 I don't know if that's true.
01:21:35.000 No, that's definitely not true.
01:21:37.000 But when you look at the fertility rates, I talked about this last week, in the US and Europe, they are collapsing.
01:21:44.000 And it's not just like, oh, look, they're down.
01:21:44.000 Right.
01:21:48.000 No, they were down before.
01:21:49.000 It's worse now.
01:21:50.000 Yeah.
01:21:51.000 But I will say the path towards winning the culture war is actually really simple at this point, too.
01:21:51.000 It's worse.
01:21:57.000 It's just anybody who wants to win just needs to have five kids.
01:22:01.000 Yeah, it's a long term investment in the future.
01:22:03.000 This is true.
01:22:04.000 Yeah.
01:22:04.000 But I don't think that people... I mean, I think about this all the time, which is like, we say you should have children, but that tide's going to turn really slowly.
01:22:11.000 And I wish that there were more ways to get people engaged in making a difference right now.
01:22:16.000 Well, it's easy to say have children, but you can't get a house in this country right now.
01:22:20.000 The interest rates are... Who can afford a child?
01:22:22.000 I mean, how many children do I see when I come to your food bank in your line?
01:22:27.000 They can't afford five kids right now.
01:22:29.000 I mean, if they want to have kids, they should put some incentives in place.
01:22:33.000 Look at Hungary.
01:22:34.000 Hungary did a great job.
01:22:35.000 You have four kids.
01:22:36.000 You don't pay income tax.
01:22:37.000 Yeah, right, right.
01:22:38.000 Where's that policy?
01:22:39.000 The child tax credit?
01:22:41.000 I think Biden was talking about doing that.
01:22:42.000 Democrats were talking about doing it.
01:22:44.000 I think that's a good thing.
01:22:45.000 Yeah.
01:22:45.000 It's a bipartisan issue because if our birth rate declines too far for too long, I mean, we did see an increase in the years after COVID very, very slightly.
01:22:53.000 Not enough to, you know, really say the tide has turned.
01:22:56.000 But It should be a bipartisan, cross-cultural, everyone-needs-to-be-having-more-children, and instead, the narrative is, especially on the left, well, we can't have children, everyone agrees it's too expensive, but they also argue the environment, the environment can't take this, you're overpopulating, there's too much pollution, this, that, and the other.
01:23:12.000 It's not true, but it'll be difficult to fight that narrative, and ultimately, as much as I would love it if just conservatives had millions of children each, ultimately you need a lot of people, including the moderates
01:23:22.000 who are on the fence, who might hear these arguments to their children.
01:23:25.000 The problem is it's very, very much perception and standards and
01:23:30.000 people don't want to live beneath the modern standards. And that's the... look, I get it, I can respect it,
01:23:35.000 but I don't know how you can look at people who came to this country on boats and landed on
01:23:40.000 desolate shores with their kids.
01:23:43.000 These people were like, imagine if the original pioneers who came to this country were like, nah, I can't have a family because I can't afford medical care, a house, you know, insert, insert, insert.
01:23:57.000 No, 20% of the people died on the boats.
01:23:59.000 And they came here anyway with nothing.
01:24:00.000 And now I know, I know, people are saying, yeah, but like, you can't even build a house.
01:24:04.000 Back then you could like, build a fortress, or like, you could build a little house somewhere in the middle of the woods, at least.
01:24:09.000 And people would work with you to build houses, and it's like, you could move out of cities, and struggle, and have a 20% chance of death, like the original pioneers and colonists, and then find a, look, If you move out of the city and go somewhere where it's rural, where the houses are really cheap, and then you start doing the work, the physical labor to build your house, you have a 100% survival chance.
01:24:33.000 But are people built like that anymore?
01:24:35.000 That's the issue.
01:24:36.000 I don't think anybody's built like that anymore.
01:24:38.000 But saying that we're not built like that is not an excuse as to why the people who came before us were hardy and more tough, more resilient, and more willing to take the risks.
01:24:46.000 Just saying, like, it's too hard today.
01:24:48.000 I'll be like, it was harder back then.
01:24:49.000 I don't believe- Certainly, you can succeed.
01:24:51.000 I don't believe that there's a- that money is the real deciding factor.
01:24:56.000 Like, people's inability to afford to have kids.
01:24:59.000 Like, I don't think that that's the real deciding factor.
01:25:03.000 I don't know that I have a strong opinion on what it is.
01:25:03.000 I don't know.
01:25:07.000 I think it's probably cultural and has to do with with their with people's upbringing and stuff.
01:25:12.000 But you know, there have been a lot of times where or there's a long time of our history where people had a significantly lower standard of living and they were punching out kids like it was their job.
01:25:23.000 So it's not that, it's not that, you know, they have to have X amount of dollars to be able to afford kids.
01:25:30.000 When you have kids, no matter how much money you make, unless you're like really independently wealthy, you probably always feel like if you had a little more, it would be easier, you know?
01:25:40.000 And so really the thing is, if you want to have kids, you go and have kids.
01:25:43.000 That's what people do.
01:25:44.000 If people find it important to have kids, they don't wait until they have certain amount of money.
01:25:49.000 They want to have kids, they have kids.
01:25:51.000 Yeah, America's declining birth rate parallels declining community participation.
01:25:56.000 So it is generally a turning away from the building of any sort of social group, right?
01:26:02.000 I mean the family is not just a social group but it is a core unit of your community and you kind of make decisions from there.
01:26:08.000 And I think especially people look to one another and so even if we can never put a finger on exactly why people choose not to, the more people who choose not to, the more likely The people around them also opt not to have children.
01:26:20.000 There's a lot of propaganda again.
01:26:21.000 Look at that.
01:26:22.000 What's that beast's name?
01:26:23.000 Helen Handler.
01:26:24.000 Chelsea Handler.
01:26:25.000 Always posting those TikToks.
01:26:27.000 I didn't have any kids.
01:26:28.000 I flew to France this week.
01:26:30.000 I'm so happy.
01:26:31.000 No, she is happy.
01:26:31.000 Good for her.
01:26:32.000 I'm sure.
01:26:33.000 So I was looking at 3,000 square feet of land in a city in Martinsburg for $19,000.
01:26:41.000 Wow.
01:26:42.000 Not a lot of people have, a lot of people probably don't have $19,000.
01:26:45.000 You can get a loan for it if you want to pay for it.
01:26:48.000 But you can get an acre of land for half that if you go out to the middle of nowhere.
01:26:54.000 Now here's the question.
01:26:55.000 If you went and bought an acre out two hours west of DC in the middle of a field somewhere, Bought the land, built a makeshift little hut for your family.
01:27:06.000 Your family was filthy, covered in dirt, bathing in a cement hole, and you were eating and hunting for food, and then you were slowly cutting down trees and having your kids help you build your house, which was very small.
01:27:18.000 Would anyone consider that to be a reasonable standard of living for people in this country?
01:27:21.000 The answer is no.
01:27:24.000 No, I don't think CPS would be there instantaneously, not at all, because there's tons of families that are completely neglected and ignored, and these children are left to suffer.
01:27:31.000 I'm talking about parents who are actually taking care of their kids the old-fashioned way.
01:27:34.000 They'd probably be completely ignored.
01:27:35.000 But nobody wants to do that.
01:27:36.000 Right.
01:27:37.000 The idea that you would be living in the wilderness, basically, with no resources, no electricity, living off the land, is unthinkable and unheard of.
01:27:44.000 And that is...
01:27:46.000 The difference between then and now.
01:27:48.000 Back then, granted, you didn't really buy the land, you just went and set up somewhere where no one had a claim.
01:27:53.000 Nowadays, you have to actually buy it, so you'll need some money, meaning you gotta have some savings, but nobody's gonna do it.
01:28:01.000 Nobody thinks it's reasonable to buy an acre of land and then start building a house You know, taking care of their family, or even more reasonably, you could buy probably five acres for $10,000 somewhere far out in the middle of nowhere.
01:28:13.000 But are there jobs out there?
01:28:15.000 What do you need a job?
01:28:16.000 I'm talking about eating deer, and eating wild fruit, and learning which leaves you can eat.
01:28:20.000 So, our ancestors quite literally did this, knowing like, hey, winter might come, we might die.
01:28:26.000 But they're like, we're gonna hunt, and they had basic skills, but people today don't have this.
01:28:31.000 And so again, I think it is unreasonable to expect anyone to do this, but this creates the predicament.
01:28:36.000 When we say we can't afford a house, we're saying we can't afford insulation, air conditioning, clean running water.
01:28:41.000 All of these things are part of the standard that we have to maintain and we expect to maintain for our families.
01:28:47.000 But no one wants to have kids unless they can maintain what is effectively living like a space king by medieval standards.
01:28:57.000 The idea that your house is insulated.
01:28:58.000 Or that you have running water is like, the kings didn't even have this.
01:29:02.000 Granted, Roman Empire had indoor plumbing.
01:29:04.000 My point is, as the, we've talked about how technology becomes necessity.
01:29:09.000 Luxury becomes necessity.
01:29:10.000 When cell phones come out, only rich people, the wealthiest people have them.
01:29:13.000 And you don't need to have a cell phone, but if you do, wow.
01:29:16.000 Now cell phones are, you have to have it.
01:29:18.000 You can't get a job without it.
01:29:19.000 And these things cost money.
01:29:21.000 So now all of these luxuries have become necessities and no one can afford to do it, and nobody wants to go and live back off the dirt like we used to back in the day.
01:29:29.000 No, I think it would be impossible for people to ever... I mean, the people I know who do really live off the grid, very few of them have a lot of children, and I think that there are a lot of reasons for that, right?
01:29:42.000 It is... The reason we have iPad kids is because modern conveniences are built into a lot of parenting nowadays, and it's not that it's bad or good, although it's not great.
01:29:51.000 And usually both parents are out of the household now.
01:29:53.000 The mother's not there with the kids anymore.
01:29:55.000 Right, and to maintain a modern standard of living you would need both incomes in most families.
01:29:59.000 You do!
01:30:00.000 You need it.
01:30:01.000 People are not getting by well.
01:30:03.000 And another part of this is the no-fault divorces that ruin the men.
01:30:08.000 They have to be careful and then the child support comes in and then you get ruined and everything you built you get screwed.
01:30:15.000 Society's not set up to incentivize it.
01:30:18.000 There is not a lot of incentive for people to get married anymore.
01:30:22.000 in the United States.
01:30:23.000 There's very, very little incentive.
01:30:26.000 It's the other way around.
01:30:29.000 There's a tremendous disincentive.
01:30:31.000 Yeah, fair enough.
01:30:33.000 Which is funny because statistically it bears out that children who are born to married families do better, right?
01:30:41.000 There's no cultural incentive, but actually if you look at it, marriage is hugely beneficial.
01:30:45.000 And so we have to remind people why we had marriage in the first place, that it was a good thing.
01:30:50.000 Marriage is beneficial to individuals, to families, to people, but all of the outside incentives disincentivize marriage.
01:30:59.000 All of the things that our society does, the media disincentivizes it.
01:31:04.000 Social media?
01:31:05.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:31:07.000 And until we can remedy that, I think that we're going to continue to have instability in family creation.
01:31:17.000 And in culture.
01:31:17.000 I mean, again, family is at the core of all society.
01:31:20.000 So if the family is unstable, why would the society be stable?
01:31:23.000 That doesn't make sense.
01:31:24.000 Yeah, that's very true.
01:31:26.000 I think at a certain point, you know, with someone super chat talking about Japan, for instance, population is going to dramatically decline.
01:31:34.000 It's going to have very interesting effects on global power structures.
01:31:37.000 And then there will be a pendulum swinging the other direction.
01:31:41.000 I think you could say that as well.
01:31:42.000 If you look at Japan, they currently have all the younger people in our generation, pardon me, are all essentially making all their money from taking care of the elderly.
01:31:50.000 Like, it's like the whole industry in Japan, and it's not sustainable for the long term.
01:31:53.000 And they're not having kids.
01:31:54.000 Yeah, they're not having kids because they're too busy with their jobs, etc., etc.
01:31:56.000 It's a whole cultural problem.
01:31:58.000 Feminism!
01:32:01.000 When we eliminated the female traditional role and had women take on the male traditional role, this is what ends up happening.
01:32:10.000 Very true.
01:32:10.000 This is the end result.
01:32:11.000 What are we, like 50 years into feminism?
01:32:13.000 A little more?
01:32:14.000 What do you say we are at?
01:32:15.000 It's not feminism.
01:32:16.000 It's the birth control pill.
01:32:19.000 I think it's one of the same.
01:32:20.000 That's a component of it.
01:32:22.000 You can have feminism and have the ideas all you want, but if you don't have the birth control pill, and people just do not have the capacity to behave the way that they do now.
01:32:34.000 The free sex, the free love stuff, that doesn't happen.
01:32:36.000 Yeah, that's abortion too.
01:32:38.000 Big time, that's abortion.
01:32:40.000 Maybe, but I think that you wouldn't get to the point where abortion happens regularly if you didn't have the pill.
01:32:46.000 The pill allows women to go to work, Regularly, the pill allows a lot of women, it stabilizes them.
01:32:54.000 Women can go to work if they weren't on the pill.
01:32:57.000 They'll end up getting pregnant.
01:32:58.000 It just allows people to act like feral animals.
01:33:01.000 Exactly.
01:33:02.000 The pill had a huge effect.
01:33:05.000 I agree, and so does abortion, but there are a lot of women who don't take birth control pills who go to work.
01:33:09.000 It is a social norm that women must work.
01:33:12.000 That's it.
01:33:13.000 Women must get jobs and must take care of themselves.
01:33:16.000 But that is an effect of the pill.
01:33:19.000 That is not a cause.
01:33:23.000 I don't think you can say that they're related in that way.
01:33:23.000 I don't think so.
01:33:26.000 They're two things that are a component of a similar thing, but they're independent of each other.
01:33:30.000 Yeah.
01:33:30.000 I also think that there, during the birth control movement, you know, there were already women who were working who thought, well, now that I'm liberated, I have my own money, I want to be able to behave different sexually.
01:33:40.000 I mean, I want a different life.
01:33:41.000 I think, in some ways, women entering the workforce encouraged them to get on birth control, but I don't think it's the other way around.
01:33:47.000 There are all kinds of reasons that women And ultimately, like I said with AI, they pay a price that they don't know what it will be.
01:33:58.000 And the birth control pill is incredibly dangerous.
01:34:00.000 It's over-prescribed in my opinion.
01:34:02.000 It does, I think you're right, it does allow women to stay in the workforce for longer, but I think they were already looking for ways out.
01:34:08.000 I think there were arguments against separating the family before the birth control pill came on the market.
01:34:13.000 It was the first step that allowed women to behave as men.
01:34:17.000 I don't think that's true.
01:34:17.000 Sexually.
01:34:18.000 I think that women already were, there were women's movements to give them, I mean this was a whole argument with suffrage, right?
01:34:23.000 Men can vote so we should be able to do that.
01:34:24.000 That has nothing to do with the birth control pill.
01:34:26.000 This has been going on for a long time.
01:34:28.000 And I think probably the birth control expedited it.
01:34:28.000 Is it good?
01:34:30.000 I'm no fan of the birth control pill, but I don't think that it was the birth control pill that opened the door for feminism.
01:34:35.000 It was already there.
01:34:36.000 It was just a ticking time bomb.
01:34:37.000 I think in some ways feminism allowed people to be more accepting of the birth control pill because they saw it as this progressive choice for women.
01:34:44.000 I agree with Anna Claire on that.
01:34:46.000 I looked it up.
01:34:46.000 The birth control was invented in 1950.
01:34:47.000 It was when it was first introduced.
01:34:49.000 But like women's suffrage movement and women entering the workplace was happening in the early 1900s.
01:34:55.000 These arguments for changing in the roles happened with industrialization and probably population expansion and the security state.
01:35:05.000 When women became secure, they no longer need men in the same way that men need women.
01:35:13.000 So, you know, if you go back to well before industrialization, women are more vulnerable than men.
01:35:20.000 Men protect women.
01:35:21.000 But once we eliminated the bears, the wolves, the coyotes, and the external threats and had centralized police forces, now it's like the state can function as the man for the woman in general, and the women can go do whatever they want, but now they need money to do whatever they want.
01:35:34.000 Which probably leads to the creation of birth control.
01:35:34.000 Right.
01:35:38.000 Yeah, that definitely could be.
01:35:39.000 Perhaps, but we're going to go to Super Chats for now.

01:36:17.000 No, second.
01:36:17.000 He says first.

01:37:01.000 They got pre-shows, they got after-after shows.
01:37:04.000 It's really great stuff.
01:37:05.000 It's crazy.
01:37:06.000 They're the most productive worker bees I've ever seen.
01:37:10.000 All right.
01:37:10.000 Dababo3 says, Alec Baldwin coming to Steel City Con outside Pittsburgh in December.
01:37:15.000 Facebook comments roasting him.
01:37:18.000 Hopefully he doesn't shoot anybody.
01:37:20.000 He'll have to be on his best behavior.
01:37:22.000 Koldilocks Production says, couldn't believe the amount of lying Cenk did in Friday's Culture War.
01:37:27.000 Also, I'd be totally down to have Dennis Prager debate Scott and correct him on his history on Israel.
01:37:33.000 We can look into that.
01:37:36.000 That'd be great.
01:37:37.000 Culture War episode.
01:37:38.000 Will Chamberlain says that he would debate Scott Howard.
01:37:41.000 Yeah.
01:37:42.000 Yeah.
01:37:42.000 OK.
01:37:43.000 All right.
01:37:44.000 I think everybody wants Dennis Prager because it's like it's Dennis Prager.
01:37:46.000 You know what I mean?
01:37:48.000 You know, but that would be really interesting.
01:37:50.000 And Will's very mild mannered.
01:37:52.000 Yeah.
01:37:53.000 It would.
01:37:53.000 I do not think it could possibly get heated.
01:37:55.000 No.
01:37:56.000 Scott would get excited and then Will would just be like, well, you know, the thing is very calm.
01:38:02.000 All right.
01:38:03.000 What do we got?
01:38:05.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:38:06.000 says, Sean Strickland out here playing 4D chess.
01:38:08.000 Oh man.
01:38:09.000 Yeah, dude.
01:38:10.000 We're gonna talk about this in the Members Only show so we can get a little spicy with it, but Sean Strickland came out with probably the smartest thing as it pertains to the Bud Light UFC sponsorship that I didn't even think of, and he hit it out of the park.
01:38:23.000 Yeah.
01:38:24.000 We're going to talk about, he's basically saying that Bud Light is now paying him to say everything he's going to say and everyone else.
01:38:30.000 And you know what?
01:38:31.000 He makes a good point.
01:38:32.000 Maybe this does save Bud Light, because wait until you see what he has to say.
01:38:35.000 He's talking about a lot of culture war issues and being very strong about it.
01:38:40.000 He said some things I don't think anybody in this room would want to say.
01:38:43.000 But the point is, he's pulling in a very, he's pulling as hard as he can in the other direction and forcing Bud Light to pay for it.
01:38:52.000 JTS says, get Sean Strickland as a guest.
01:38:54.000 I knew as soon as I saw the UFC story that he would have something to say.
01:38:57.000 The guy is really funny, really based, and is actually a good example of what a champion is.
01:39:01.000 That'd be epic!
01:39:02.000 I mean, when I first... We'll save it.
01:39:06.000 We gotta talk about his statement.
01:39:09.000 It's not family-friendly.
01:39:10.000 Well, it's probably family-friendly, but we're gonna save it for the members only.
01:39:14.000 We'll get spicy with it.
01:39:15.000 All right, Brandon says, check out protests in Panama over Chinese-backed Canadian oil company.
01:39:21.000 Given large land and land-stealing rights, huge fear the protests could disrupt the canal, and that China is aiming to take it over.
01:39:29.000 They are.
01:39:30.000 China tried building the Nicaraguan Canal, this is like 10 years ago, and they would have had to have destroyed a massive natural aquifer to do it, and so it was ultimately abandoned.
01:39:40.000 But controlling the Panama Canal is big bucks power.
01:39:45.000 Alright.
01:39:46.000 Harry To says, FYI your channel always shows on my top row of suggestions.
01:39:51.000 I had to scroll down a bunch to find it.
01:39:53.000 It's never done that before.
01:39:55.000 Well, here you go.
01:39:56.000 This is what happens when, uh, you know, we, we call out these, uh, these stories.
01:40:00.000 So make sure you smash that, uh, subscribe button and that bell, but also you can always watch the show on the front page of Timcast.com.
01:40:07.000 True.
01:40:08.000 Yeah.
01:40:08.000 It is always there on the front page of Timcast.com.
01:40:10.000 And we have the Timcast app.
01:40:11.000 So download the app on Apple and you can, uh, watch in the app.
01:40:16.000 And with the best part is in the app, you can actually suspend your, you can sleep your phone, whatever it's called.
01:40:20.000 I don't know.
01:40:20.000 Suspend.
01:40:21.000 And, uh, it'll keep playing the sound and you can keep listening.
01:40:24.000 Oh, that's great.
01:40:25.000 Harry just says, I also didn't get a notification.
01:40:27.000 I had to scroll a bunch to find your show.
01:40:30.000 Yup.
01:40:30.000 Yeah, I didn't get notified either.
01:40:32.000 Polypure says, where is Ian?
01:40:33.000 Is he okay?
01:40:34.000 I don't know.
01:40:36.000 He's gone.
01:40:36.000 I hope so.
01:40:37.000 There's no more Ian.
01:40:38.000 So if he's not back by Wednesday, we'll take the sign down.
01:40:43.000 And then we'll put up a fill sign or something.
01:40:45.000 We'll have to get one made.
01:40:46.000 There you go.
01:40:48.000 Alright, where are we at?
01:40:49.000 Leif Hagen says, in states Trump is removed from the ballot, down ballot senators, reps, DAs, governors, etc.
01:40:55.000 will all suffer greatly.
01:40:57.000 We're talking county by county.
01:40:59.000 That's right.
01:41:00.000 Yep.
01:41:00.000 Tremendous victories for, uh, for Democrats.
01:41:04.000 That's the point.
01:41:05.000 Yeah.
01:41:06.000 James Moaning says, first, stand your grounds.
01:41:09.000 Coffee is delicious.
01:41:10.000 Well done.
01:41:10.000 Second, what do you, uh, what do you want the normal people to do?
01:41:13.000 You have the DOJ and judges against non-Dems, you have establishment against us, and you have us worried about effing cowboy boots.
01:41:20.000 Repeat, effing cowboy boots.
01:41:22.000 Hey, we're gonna have a little bit of levity on the show.
01:41:24.000 Just because we talk about Rhonda Sanders wearing high heels doesn't mean we're not saying don't get serious.
01:41:28.000 But, uh, what you do is actually, it is relatively simple.
01:41:32.000 The first thing you do, you listen to a show like this.
01:41:34.000 The second thing you do is you give money to people who are doing tremendous things.
01:41:38.000 And I'm not just saying give us money.
01:41:39.000 I'm saying anyone you support, think you're doing a good job, Scott Pressler, however, and by whatever means you can support his work, fund the people who are doing the work to the best of your
01:41:49.000 abilities.
01:41:50.000 One of those things you could do, obviously, would be become a member at TimCast.com because
01:41:54.000 it helps us as we expand and get the message out.
01:41:57.000 We're doing a bunch of crazy cultural endeavors.
01:42:01.000 But if you're more interested in the political stuff, don't just give to Trump.
01:42:04.000 Realize there are state-level people.
01:42:07.000 If Republicans win the state legislatures in every state, it's a done deal.
01:42:10.000 It's a done game.
01:42:12.000 You don't need to worry about the federal level stuff if you win at every state level.
01:42:15.000 That's the mission.
01:42:16.000 And that means going into urban centers and pushing your views even when you think no one's gonna agree with you.
01:42:23.000 They probably will.
01:42:23.000 They might.
01:42:24.000 You gotta do it.
01:42:25.000 Look at Laverne.
01:42:26.000 There you go.
01:42:27.000 She's doing it right here.
01:42:28.000 Donate to her.
01:42:30.000 There you go.
01:42:30.000 Tell them Laverne, your website.
01:42:32.000 Yes.
01:42:32.000 I mean really, we gotta support candidates like you.
01:42:35.000 You know, that's Laverne Spicer 2024.
01:42:38.000 Nope, just Laverne2024.com.
01:42:39.000 Oh, that's a better one.
01:42:41.000 Yeah, that's good.
01:42:42.000 Easier.
01:42:42.000 She's busy being on the ground.
01:42:44.000 She doesn't... If you're a good candidate, you don't pay attention to those things, you pay attention to the people.
01:42:49.000 There you go.
01:42:50.000 Alright, Nick Lee says, in regard to Republican chances, I'm an independent living in PA and every other ad I see is Democratic campaign ad for positions down the ballot, not one from Republicans.
01:43:00.000 Yup.
01:43:01.000 I will say, however, I went to Pittsburgh, and I have never been recognized in any other city more than I was in Pittsburgh, and it was kind of weird.
01:43:10.000 We went to a hotel, and all three of the hotel valets recognized me.
01:43:14.000 We went to Rivers Casino to hang out, and I got recognized by the woman running the poker room, and several of the players in the poker room.
01:43:22.000 Walking down the street, someone waved.
01:43:23.000 I was just like, wow.
01:43:26.000 It's kind of crazy.
01:43:27.000 I go to a bunch of other cities and you know here here and there but in Pittsburgh I was like everybody knew I was and I wonder if it's because of like Midwest sensibilities for Rust Belt you know I'm from Chicago but I did notice this is really funny at we were at the Pittsburgh was Pittsburgh University or whatever it's called.
01:43:42.000 University of Pittsburgh I think.
01:43:43.000 There you go.
01:43:44.000 And on this Green Transformer box, I took a picture of it.
01:43:47.000 It was like, Brandon Tatum and James O'Keefe are coming and they're fascists or whatever, blah blah blah, don't let them come.
01:43:53.000 And the argument against them was just like the stupidest thing ever.
01:43:56.000 It was like, James O'Keefe makes things up.
01:43:58.000 And I'm like, why would a college student care that a guy makes things up on the internet?
01:44:01.000 It's like, oh, we have to protest because we think a guy made something up on the internet.
01:44:04.000 Who cares?
01:44:06.000 Yeah, I don't think they think too far.
01:44:07.000 Is he making up the videos?
01:44:08.000 Like, really?
01:44:08.000 Is he hiring?
01:44:09.000 Well, that's their argument, but the point is, if you don't know who James O'Keefe is, what about, would you like to protest a guy who made something up on the internet is appealing to you?
01:44:19.000 They have no lives.
01:44:19.000 You'd be like, what?
01:44:20.000 They have nothing better to do.
01:44:22.000 Everybody makes things up on the internet.
01:44:23.000 I was gonna say, that's half of their dream career is to be, like, YouTubers who make stuff up and get involved in all kinds of drama.
01:44:29.000 I'd imagine.
01:44:30.000 I've heard Pittsburgh's an amazing city.
01:44:32.000 I've been secretly lobbying for a show there for a little while, so... I've never been, though, so... All right, DeBronk says, the 14th Amendment also details the oath, support the Constitution, that is not the presidential oath.
01:44:44.000 Yeah, but it is.
01:44:46.000 Come on.
01:44:46.000 It says, what does it say, to serve, protect, and defend the Constitution?
01:44:50.000 So, knowledge is getting semantics, but let's, uh, let's, uh, let's... Presidential oath of office.
01:44:56.000 The ability to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
01:45:02.000 So, if that's not support for the Constitution, I don't know what is, you know.
01:45:07.000 But, uh, there's an argument there.
01:45:09.000 The President is not included in that.
01:45:10.000 And I think that actually makes sense.
01:45:11.000 The argument I would make is that, in 1876, they did have Southerners, uh, uh, Southern states run.
01:45:20.000 Democrats were running for office.
01:45:21.000 They were holding office.
01:45:22.000 And so the idea was, they were basically saying, okay, okay, like, No one who did at that point, but these positions are probably fine.
01:45:32.000 If they did not allow one of these states to have a president, these people were all alive and involved in the Civil War, then it would have just led to more Civil War.
01:45:41.000 That was the point of 1876.
01:45:43.000 So I think that might be why they say yes to the presidency, but I don't know for sure.
01:45:46.000 I don't know.
01:45:49.000 All right, Raybert G. Stanbert Jr.
01:45:51.000 says, PBD was my favorite podcast before my brother showed me this one.
01:45:54.000 Now y'all are tied in my heart.
01:45:56.000 It was so awesome seeing y'all start to collab.
01:45:58.000 We're big fans.
01:45:59.000 He stole the show when he came to Miami.
01:45:59.000 He's fantastic.
01:46:02.000 Well, he's from Miami.
01:46:03.000 Well, he lives there.
01:46:04.000 But when he gave a speech about tolerant Christians and what you have to do, everyone just stood up and started clapping and cheering.
01:46:09.000 And I was like, okay, what do we say now?
01:46:11.000 He nailed it.
01:46:12.000 But that's the point.
01:46:13.000 That's why I say share the show.
01:46:15.000 Word of mouth is the most powerful way podcasts grow.
01:46:18.000 That's it.
01:46:19.000 People are always wondering, how do I get a big podcast?
01:46:21.000 And it's like, word of mouth.
01:46:23.000 Someone plays a podcast in their car while their friend listens to it, they like it, and they share it.
01:46:27.000 Someone else says, hey, you should check out this podcast, it's really good.
01:46:29.000 That's it.
01:46:30.000 Commercials don't do anything.
01:46:32.000 None of that.
01:46:33.000 All word of mouth.
01:46:34.000 That's why Twitter slash X is so prominent, so powerful.
01:46:37.000 Maybe we should actually try to promote our shows on that.
01:46:42.000 Yeah, maybe, maybe.
01:46:43.000 Or, you know, if everybody who watched the show shared it with their friends, we'd be the biggest show in the world.
01:46:47.000 Yeah, easily.
01:46:48.000 There you go.
01:46:50.000 But I will also add, too, that it's fairly obvious that the large portion of our viewers are fairly moderate-leaning individuals, and most of you would probably agree.
01:46:58.000 Like, we had one individual saying they were independent.
01:47:01.000 That tends to be what we find, as well.
01:47:04.000 And that's also going to be interesting, too.
01:47:06.000 We're getting some more interest.
01:47:08.000 I think it's interesting that Cenk Uygur wanted to come on the Culture War.
01:47:11.000 We've got some other Democrat personalities now reaching out to us, and I think it's because They know that this show is not a hardcore, die-hard, far-right, MAGA, you know, super conservative show.
01:47:25.000 It's like, kind of moderate, with crazy characters like Ian.
01:47:28.000 And actually, the example of Pittsburgh is interesting, because Pittsburgh is what everybody wants to win.
01:47:36.000 Right the Democrats strongholds sure, but if you get places like Pittsburgh if you get more rural suburban areas Midwestern I mean PA especially just across the board, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin This is what all of the politicians are desperately trying to win Midwest So if people in Pittsburgh know who I am and they're watching the show at higher rates than other places, we're gonna have every Democrat in the world begging to come on and try and pitch their case, and they're gonna get roasted.
01:48:00.000 It also means that the power centers are shifting right instead of left, which is good.
01:48:04.000 I mean, that was Matt Gaetz's feedback after the first time.
01:48:06.000 The second time he came on, because the first time he came out here, and then he heckled us when he came to Congress, and was like, oh, you'll come out to Lauren Boebert's office, but I have to drive.
01:48:13.000 But he said, I was amazed by how many just regular people, waitresses, truck drivers, random people I met, were like, I heard you're on Timcast.
01:48:21.000 I don't think people realize that's one of the strengths of the show, that real people listen to it.
01:48:25.000 Boomers.
01:48:26.000 Boomers.
01:48:27.000 Wow, that was a lot of young people.
01:48:28.000 No, no, I'm saying boomers don't realize.
01:48:30.000 Oh, right, right, right.
01:48:31.000 Tinky Winky 31 says, don't know how much hockey you Yanks watch, but in the 24 years I've played, that's one of the most bizarre plays I've seen.
01:48:39.000 The way in which the back checker reacts makes it hard to give him the benefit of the doubt.
01:48:43.000 Check out the Clint, uh, Malarchuk injury.
01:48:46.000 We did, we watched it before the show, and I used to play, I used to play street hockey when I was a kid with my friends.
01:48:50.000 Like, that was our sport.
01:48:51.000 We didn't play basketball or baseball, we played street hockey.
01:48:53.000 We played kind of a lot.
01:48:54.000 No one ever got kicked with a roller blade.
01:48:57.000 No.
01:48:57.000 In the face.
01:48:58.000 Yeah.
01:48:59.000 It's just like, And then all my friends who even rollerblade now, and we have rollerblades, and I was rollerblading last year, it's just like, foot never goes up like that.
01:49:09.000 Why wouldn't it?
01:49:09.000 It would throw your balance all the way off, right?
01:49:11.000 Wouldn't it?
01:49:11.000 He's trying to kick them.
01:49:12.000 I mean, it has to be.
01:49:13.000 And your skates are heavy.
01:49:14.000 I mean, like, you have to want them to go up.
01:49:16.000 Otherwise, they naturally come down.
01:49:17.000 Right.
01:49:18.000 Unless you're a figure skater, but he's definitely not.
01:49:20.000 He's playing hockey.
01:49:21.000 No.
01:49:21.000 And the way he's directing, he's turning his skates.
01:49:23.000 He'd be leaning in towards the left, and his left leg is the one that's going up.
01:49:27.000 So it's just like, yeah.
01:49:30.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.
01:49:32.000 Johnny FT says the only solution to the AI problem is a return to analog.
01:49:36.000 Pictures and video will need to be accompanied by the original celluloid.
01:49:41.000 Sure.
01:49:41.000 Yeah.
01:49:43.000 I don't know, man.
01:49:44.000 It's hard to decide.
01:49:45.000 Welcome to the Matrix.
01:49:46.000 You're going to live in the Matrix.
01:49:47.000 That's it.
01:49:47.000 He thinks I hate it here.
01:49:50.000 Lars says, just a heads up, the U.S.
01:49:52.000 is halting exports of small arms for 90 days, as per the Epoch Times.
01:49:56.000 Yeah, that was from, uh, that story was from last week.
01:49:59.000 Throw up y'all ready for war?
01:50:01.000 It'll be, uh, fun, I guess.
01:50:03.000 I mean, all the listeners to TempCast, like, if you, if you're, unless you're a new listener, you probably already have guns if you were going to get guns.
01:50:11.000 We've been talking about this stuff for ages and ages, so if you're a new listener, I'm sorry to...
01:50:17.000 Go get more.
01:50:18.000 Yes, exercise your Second Amendment rights today by contacting your local FFL.
01:50:22.000 And, you know, that's the advice I'll give everybody.
01:50:25.000 When I first moved to New Jersey, I was trying to figure out how to get a gun, and good luck in New Jersey.
01:50:31.000 So I went to the police, and the police lied every single time.
01:50:36.000 The police station lied.
01:50:38.000 Everyone I went to told me something different.
01:50:40.000 They said, it's remarkable because I'm pretty sure they're intentionally lying to people.
01:50:45.000 They were like, oh yeah, you just gotta fill out this form.
01:50:46.000 They had us a form.
01:50:47.000 We're like, okay.
01:50:48.000 Then go online, go to this website and put it in.
01:50:50.000 And I'm like, okay.
01:50:50.000 And then the website doesn't exist.
01:50:51.000 And I was like, what is going on?
01:50:53.000 So finally I did the simple thing and I went to a gun store and I said, what do I gotta do?
01:50:58.000 And they slid me a totally different form and said, fill that one out and then bring it to the police station.
01:51:03.000 And I was like, okay.
01:51:04.000 And then, oh no, no, no.
01:51:05.000 I brought it to a specific station where they take a picture of me and then handed me the New Jersey firearms ID card.
01:51:12.000 And then I was able to go buy a gun in New Jersey.
01:51:15.000 So if you need advice on what you want to do, what you need to do, talk to your local federally licensed firearm dealer.
01:51:24.000 Go to a gun shop.
01:51:25.000 They'll set you straight.
01:51:26.000 Yeah, gun nuts will.
01:51:28.000 Yeah.
01:51:28.000 When I moved to Maryland, I called a local shop and I asked them about it and they were like, here are the rules, here's what you gotta do.
01:51:33.000 And I'm like, cool.
01:51:34.000 Then I called West Virginia and they were like, come on in!
01:51:37.000 And I was like, yeah, and they were like, constitutional carry!
01:51:40.000 You got a West Virginia ID, you're all good.
01:51:42.000 You gotta do the federal background check.
01:51:44.000 And, uh, there you go.
01:51:45.000 When I first, when I bought my first gun at, in New Jersey, it took, uh, uh, three days.
01:51:49.000 Wow.
01:51:50.000 I think it took five.
01:51:51.000 Because of the weekend.
01:51:52.000 But, like, there's a three-day period where if the feds don't respond, then... So, they were just like, okay, you bought it, we'll let you know what they say, because you're on, you're delayed.
01:52:01.000 And I'm like, okay, this is dumb.
01:52:03.000 Yeah.
01:52:03.000 It doesn't exist here, too?
01:52:04.000 It's federal.
01:52:05.000 Federal.
01:52:05.000 So, it's everywhere.
01:52:06.000 It's everywhere.
01:52:06.000 But, basically... Stupid law.
01:52:08.000 Yep.
01:52:09.000 Basically, once, yeah, because it's like, if you need it, you need it.
01:52:13.000 Imagine you're a woman, you're getting, like, a man is coming after you, you need the gun because you're gonna get beat the crap out of, you left the house, or something, or killed.
01:52:21.000 You gotta shoot that man.
01:52:22.000 I mean, come on.
01:52:23.000 And then you gotta wait three days, you're dead already.
01:52:24.000 You have to use reasonable force to defend yourself if someone is expressing their intent to kill you.
01:52:29.000 Of course, of course.
01:52:30.000 Right, so, for me, dealing with a guy trying to break into my house, who was a pedophile, and dealing with death threats, the police are like, good luck, Seriously?
01:52:40.000 To flee?
01:52:40.000 Oh yeah, of course. In New Jersey they said that if someone breaks into your house, you have to flee.
01:52:46.000 And I'm like, that's New Jersey's law.
01:52:48.000 In the United States of America.
01:52:50.000 And I said, where to?
01:52:52.000 Well, flee to where? I'm in my house. And they're like, anywhere.
01:52:54.000 And the argument, it's the Communist Party. It's quite literally out of the Communist playbook.
01:52:58.000 Wow.
01:52:59.000 You should flee instead of having to take someone's life because the argument is you would rather kill someone than stand outside.
01:53:05.000 And it's like, well, I don't know what's going to happen if I go outside.
01:53:08.000 I don't know if they've got someone waiting outside for me.
01:53:10.000 And so what am I supposed to do?
01:53:11.000 And they're like, if you can get out, you have to get out.
01:53:13.000 Maryland is relatively similar.
01:53:16.000 They'll arrest you and charge you with a felony and then tell you to prove it.
01:53:18.000 Unbelievable.
01:53:19.000 Right.
01:53:19.000 In Maryland, you can't defend yourself outside your home.
01:53:23.000 If someone is threatening you outside your home, you have to flee into your home.
01:53:26.000 And then once you're in your home, if they try breaking in, then you can defend yourself.
01:53:29.000 And then West Virginia is if someone threatens you, you can defend yourself.
01:53:31.000 Good.
01:53:32.000 It's a simpler law.
01:53:33.000 It's much easier to remember.
01:53:34.000 Yeah.
01:53:35.000 That's how it should be.
01:53:35.000 All that remains manager is he lives in Long Island.
01:53:38.000 He's a Jewish guy.
01:53:38.000 And so obviously he's got family in Israel and stuff.
01:53:43.000 He started buying guns, maybe a couple years ago or whatever, and now he's like, thank God that I did, because the rigmarole and all of the paperwork that you have to do in New York, you know.
01:53:54.000 It's crazy.
01:53:55.000 New York is awful.
01:53:56.000 It's basically illegal to have a gun.
01:53:57.000 It is insane, you know.
01:53:58.000 Yeah.
01:53:59.000 You make it impossible.
01:54:00.000 You know, you never know when you're going to need it.
01:54:04.000 All right.
01:54:04.000 And Florida is staying your ground, so we have the right to protect ourselves there.
01:54:10.000 Yeah.
01:54:11.000 Johnny F. Teases, as a doctor, you can occlude one artery but still have enough blood flow to the brain from the other side.
01:54:17.000 Right.
01:54:18.000 Man, that's crazy.
01:54:19.000 Pretty sure that Malachite case, he literally just reached to his neck and closed the artery.
01:54:23.000 Into?
01:54:23.000 Yeah.
01:54:24.000 Stuck his finger in the neck?
01:54:25.000 Yes.
01:54:25.000 Stick a thumb into it.
01:54:28.000 If you ever get a gunshot wound, what they tell you to do is put the tourniquet on first and then just stuff gauze into the hole until the hole's hard.
01:54:37.000 I watched a video of a guy explaining how to treat a gunshot wound and he's sticking his thumbs into it.
01:54:45.000 Just gauze until he says it becomes hard as a rock.
01:54:48.000 Yeah, and then you put a band-aid bandage over it and then get him to hospital That's what that's what I mean a blowout kit like a trauma kit like that.
01:54:54.000 It's it all it is is gauze a Bandage to cover it up in a tourniquet so and that's you that's the only thing you need to like fix most of your your gunshot wounds unless you have something through the lung where you need a chest seal I think Everybody should go to one of these, like, basic survival training things, where, you know, Luke does the tactical training stuff, I'm like, you know, I'm saying, like, I did this, uh, hostile environment training, which is really hard to get access to, because everybody wants to do it, and they have limited classes, so it's typically only big corporations and insurance companies schedule these things, but anything like this, I recommend.
01:55:30.000 Why?
01:55:31.000 It's so much fun.
01:55:33.000 It's not like you're there and they're like, listen, someone's gonna... No, it's fun.
01:55:36.000 You're hanging out in the woods and you're basically role-playing.
01:55:40.000 Like, so when I did the hostile environment training, they would put you through the scenario and then have you actually be actors in the scenario for the next group of people.
01:55:49.000 So it was just a ton of fun.
01:55:50.000 You go out and it was like, you get to be a villager harassing a journalist.
01:55:55.000 You get to be, you know, a police officer or whatever.
01:55:58.000 It was good fun.
01:56:00.000 I recommend it.
01:56:01.000 And then you guys will learn basic first aid and your kids should learn these things too.
01:56:05.000 And then one day you'll slip and fall and your kid will save your life.
01:56:07.000 Yeah, it's important.
01:56:08.000 I have a woofer because I was raft guide for some years and I'm surprised how little people know about Basic first aid.
01:56:13.000 It's kind of shocking.
01:56:15.000 On my Twitter account, on my Twix account, I just retweeted a basic primer of how to treat gunshot wounds, so take a look at my Twitter account.
01:56:23.000 It's crazy, I watched a video about removing arrows, and they would use feathers.
01:56:28.000 Because the arrows would have the hook on the end, and they would put the feather over the barb, and then both, and then you pull it right out.
01:56:35.000 It's kind of crazy, like these things, if you knew, you know?
01:56:40.000 Well, like you said before, if you took one class and it ever became useful, it's paid for itself tenfold.
01:56:45.000 For sure, you have your life.
01:56:46.000 Tyrion says, carotid artery exsanguination happens in 5 to 15 seconds.
01:56:50.000 Wow!
01:56:52.000 Yep.
01:56:52.000 That's really fast.
01:56:54.000 Crazy.
01:56:55.000 That's basically, you know... That's a lot to do.
01:56:58.000 A lot.
01:56:58.000 I think maybe we do like one special upload to the website where we talk about First Aid or something.
01:57:01.000 and Luke comes back, give him five minutes per show for first aid PSAs.
01:57:05.000 That's a lot to do, a lot.
01:57:07.000 I think maybe we do like one special upload to the website where we talk about first aid
01:57:12.000 or something.
01:57:13.000 Yeah.
01:57:14.000 Or honestly, we just direct you to somebody who's doing that, like Luke would put it on
01:57:17.000 his channel or something like that.
01:57:18.000 I bet there are viewers who already watch stuff like this, like, between survivalist accounts and just paramedics who have YouTube channels.
01:57:23.000 I'm sure there's more stated stuff out there.
01:57:25.000 Man, it's crazy, okay?
01:57:27.000 Like, one single sentence could mean the difference between someone living or dying, or someone being paralyzed and not paralyzed.
01:57:35.000 Like, I watched a video, it was out of Africa, a dude jumps in front of a car, and what do they do?
01:57:41.000 After he gets run over, they pick him up and start dragging him away, and I'm like, okay, they're breaking his bones, and they're cutting nerves, and they're doing all that bad stuff.
01:57:48.000 When I broke my hand, I didn't move it.
01:57:52.000 I just held it.
01:57:53.000 And the doctor said that the way it broke, it was really close to severing a nerve and probably making a portion of my hand permanently numb or paralyzed.
01:58:02.000 Yeah.
01:58:03.000 And like, you got to know these things.
01:58:05.000 I didn't do anything.
01:58:06.000 I'm just saying my hand broke and then I was like, ah, it hurts.
01:58:07.000 And then we had the doctor and he was like, okay, we got to set this properly because you're really close to severing a nerve.
01:58:12.000 And it was like, kind of crazy.
01:58:15.000 Let's grab some more super chats.
01:58:17.000 Federale Actual says, I still can't listen to HCB since I measured and was at 7 inches flat.
01:58:24.000 I was never 5'11".
01:58:24.000 See, I'm telling you guys, the 5'11 is the default.
01:58:29.000 I don't want to lie and say I'm 6 feet, but I'm also not as tall as I actually want to present.
01:58:33.000 And that's okay.
01:58:34.000 There's there's room in life for all kinds of heights out there.
01:58:36.000 Yeah, I keep saying I'm 6'1", exactly, whenever I say I'm 6'1", everyone's like, oh, you're like 5'11", or whatever.
01:58:41.000 I literally am.
01:58:43.000 You're like, pull out your tape measure, I'm actually 6'1".
01:58:45.000 I'm still doing that, why not?
01:58:46.000 I'm 6'7".
01:58:46.000 I believe you.
01:58:48.000 That's true.
01:58:48.000 Well, you and Barron Trump are the same height, you guys make eye contact.
01:58:51.000 I'm a little taller than him.
01:58:52.000 But I'm 6'7", because I told everyone here that I am, and because I'm the boss, they have to agree.
01:58:57.000 That's all that matters.
01:58:58.000 It's part of our contract.
01:58:59.000 Also, his lifts are crazy, you guys should see them.
01:59:03.000 There was a good super chat that I want to read before we get too late.
01:59:06.000 And let's see.
01:59:08.000 Where did it go?
01:59:09.000 Where'd it go?
01:59:09.000 That's pretty good.
01:59:12.000 I don't know.
01:59:12.000 Oh, here we go.
01:59:14.000 Komo Shepherd says, DeSantis could fix a bunch of his image issues if he had said, I identify as 6'2".
01:59:20.000 Yup.
01:59:21.000 That would have been great.
01:59:22.000 That would have been great answer.
01:59:23.000 If he was asked, how tall are you?
01:59:25.000 By Patrick, by David.
01:59:26.000 And he goes, well, I identify as 6'2".
01:59:28.000 They would have all laughed.
01:59:30.000 And he would have laughed, but he does not have it.
01:59:33.000 He takes himself way too seriously.
01:59:37.000 I mean, maybe not, but he just doesn't know how.
01:59:39.000 Yeah, I don't know.
01:59:40.000 Like, you ever meet somebody who tries to joke, and the jokes just don't work, and you're like, bro, you're just being uncomfortable, like, you don't have it, you know?
01:59:48.000 Ron should have been the VP.
01:59:51.000 Trump just had his ticket, would have been unbeatable.
01:59:53.000 Would have been amazing.
01:59:54.000 And then he said, uh, nope.
01:59:57.000 All right, we'll grab one last one here.
01:59:59.000 We got Winston Alexander says, took me four months to get my New Jersey CCW, multiple background checks, high fees, and four endorsements from non-family, non-LEOs, also police chief interviews.
02:00:11.000 And that's only after the Supreme Court ruling, right?
02:00:14.000 Because when I was there, they were like, nope.
02:00:16.000 They said, in order to get a CCW in New Jersey, you got to be rich or famous.
02:00:21.000 Are you either of those?
02:00:22.000 And I said, actually, I'm both.
02:00:23.000 They're like, okay, you're good.
02:00:24.000 And I was like, wow.
02:00:26.000 You know?
02:00:26.000 And then it was still really difficult, but that was basically the argument.
02:00:28.000 Same thing with Maryland.
02:00:29.000 These states were like, if you're rich and famous, you're allowed to have a gun, but nobody else.
02:00:33.000 And I'm like, okay, well that's BS.
02:00:35.000 But we're gonna jump over to the members-only show and talk about Sean Strickland, UFC, and Bud Light's partnership, and the things Sean said.

02:02:15.000 Now it's playing some other, like, Alanis Morissette.
02:02:19.000 I'm sorry, I don't know how to talk to Alexa because I avoid her at all costs.
02:02:21.000 You say this, you say, Alexa, play Two Weeks by All That Remains.
02:02:25.000 That's how you would do it.
02:02:28.000 If anyone's Alexa actually started because of that, please tweet at me so I know if that actually worked.
