On today's show, we talk about the latest in the ongoing investigation into the January 6th incident at the Capitol by Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff. We also hear from Vish Bhutani and Forrest Cooper, and we have a special guest, Luke Rudkowski of We Are Change.
00:00:41.000you ladies and gentlemen it is a is a dark day in American
00:01:09.000history There was an insurrection at the Capitol, never forget 6-16-2022, when staffers and comedians and individuals associated with Stephen Colbert breached the Capitol building after hours without authorization, let in, yes, by a Democratic member of Congress.
00:01:28.000Our democracy, I'm sorry, our constitutional republic is truly at risk.
00:01:33.000No, in all seriousness, here's the real story.
00:01:36.000So I'm sitting down in the green room.
00:01:38.000I turn on Fox News and Jesse Waters comes on and says that seven people Associated with the Colbert's Late Show were arrested for breaching the Capitol building.
00:03:20.000I exist in two different worlds, one of them being philosophy, the other one being violence and how we understand it.
00:03:27.000And I am here for my fourth appearance, enjoying my time here.
00:03:31.000So my politics is my own, but I'm really concerned about, I like to, I like to focus on questions of gun control and whether it's arbitrary and what's the point.
00:03:39.000And then you can find me on Twitter now, if you've been following, if you've seen us on or me on your show, I'm on Twitter now, unfortunately.
00:03:47.000You have a lot of experience in war, conflict, crisis.
00:03:56.000I was over in Ukraine for a little bit recently, but that was more for journalism.
00:04:01.000So I really wanna talk about, you know, obviously, Tim Pool loves talking about civil war.
00:04:07.000So we'll get into that, especially considering what's going on with this Capitol breach and what it really means and what they'll say about it, plus where this goes in terms of, there's another big story out of New Mexico we talked about, Otero County, where they're refusing to certify the election.
00:04:21.000A court order came down saying you have to, and this guy, Coy Griffin, was like, nope, not gonna do it.
00:06:18.000It's gonna be a very fun conversation.
00:06:20.000We have a lot of different expertises here, so I'm looking forward to getting into it.
00:06:23.000Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com.

00:06:32.000They go up Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m., and we just have this massive library by now of all of these different guests and conversations.
00:06:39.000So it really is great stuff, and we appreciate all of you becoming members, supporting us.
00:06:42.000But you're also supporting our journalists who are fact-checking, reporting on all this news every single day, challenging the machine.
00:06:48.000And you are supporting websites and news outlets that use alternative infrastructure.
00:06:52.000We do not use Big Tech Silicon Valley for the website.
00:07:48.000We got this this Twitter thread from Chad Pergram who says Fox confirms that groups of persons associated with the late show, Stephen Colbert, were arrested last night and charged with illegal entry to House office buildings after hours.
00:08:02.000Fox is told that people were arrested in the Longworth House office building.
00:08:05.000The group was in the Cannon House office building earlier in the day trying to get interviews around the time of the 1-6 committee hearing.
00:08:10.000However, USCP shooed them away because they did not have proper press credentials.
00:08:15.000Sounds like an insurrection, if you were to ask me.
00:08:17.000later in the night after the Capitol complex was closed to the public Fox is
00:08:21.000told they took pictures and videos around the offices of House Minority
00:08:23.000Leader Kevin McCarthy and Lauren Boebert hmm sounds like an insurrection if you
00:08:28.000were to ask me I mean that's what the media was saying about who was it was it
00:08:32.000who was that who was It was a congressman, right?
00:09:36.000On January 6th, many of the people who entered the building walked up with no signs, with nothing, and had the doors opened for them by the police, who then went to take selfies with them.
00:09:47.000Those people, one guy so far, because there's been a few bench trials, one of these guys was acquitted.
00:09:54.000Because the judge said, cops opened the door and let him in.
00:10:10.000And according to, uh, I believe we have a, it was a tweet from Jonathan Turley and a statement made by, uh, it wasn't from Jonathan, Turley tweeted what Jesse Waters reported that it was Adam Schiff and maybe one of his staffers who let them in the building.
00:10:23.000So you have a member of Congress letting them, letting them in the building after they were told by the police not to be there.
00:10:54.000What do you think if, let's say, those producers were reaching out to many members of the house trying to get in to the Capitol via requests and stuff?
00:11:05.000Maybe Adam Schiff wasn't the first one.
00:11:07.000In fact, a source from the house sent me an email from Jake Plunkett sent on June 6th.
00:11:50.000And in order for you to get access to the office buildings as press, you have to go through the admin and get, the house admin, and get press credentials.
00:11:59.000The reason you would go to a member to let you in is so that you're let in without having to declare that you're press, right?
00:13:31.000How are we just now finding out about it?
00:13:34.000There's people in the chat room calling this, uh, in soy-rection, uh, which I just wanted to note here.
00:13:40.000And, uh, you made a good point, Tim, uh, especially on January 6th, there was doors that were extremely heavy that were closed with magnets that were only opened because of a code that was input directly by someone from the inside that knew the code that was able to open the doors on January 6th.
00:15:55.000So if there were people who were just mobbing the compound, right, and we're calling security over and those people are at the door, I'm not going like this.
00:16:04.000To gesture security to come over to help us, right?
00:16:11.000Like, I was just doing a general waving motion into the building because I wanted one specific person to stop everyone else from getting in the building.
00:16:19.000They were telling the other officers to pull back.
00:17:29.000I heard it was mostly peaceful, though.
00:17:31.000529 in Washington, D.C., when violent leftists tried tearing the fence down and set fire to one of the White House guard posts, set fire to St.
00:17:38.000John's Church, and forced the president to retreat to a bunker, attacked journalists, and the police had to come and defend the White House from this insurrection on 529.
00:17:50.000You mentioned that they were, this is one of the most documented events, and it is curious, why aren't they releasing the security camera footage?
00:17:57.000Why not release all the security camera footage?
00:18:04.000Or the federal involvement and release information about how many agents were there and were participating.
00:18:10.000And also, you know, the foreknowledge with basic events that were on Facebook saying that this was going to happen and then this was all something that they made up.
00:18:18.000What about the supposed pipe bombs that were just near where Kamala Harris was that they decided to stop talking about?
00:18:46.000I was going to say, as an activist, I've seen this over and over again.
00:18:51.000We're just not willing to do what the left is willing to do to take us out, right?
00:18:56.000The Sedition Hunters page is what you're talking about, where they're going out and doxing people who were part of the insurrection or whatever.
00:19:19.000Or, you know, woke, you know, bad actors?
00:19:23.000Because, you know, the way I see it is, like, the quote-unquote right is a disparate group of random factions that disagree with each other on so many different things.
00:20:46.000They took a speech that I did and they took one particular sentence that I said and they matched it up with a sentence that I said later to make me sound like I was calling for a revolution when I was calling for an evolution and people being better themselves individually.
00:21:47.000So there's a really good example you could take with anything that happens in the gun industry or the gun culture, or it's like, oh, well, that guy got hit.
00:21:54.000And so no, everyone just like leaves him alone for a while.
00:22:32.000However, what I think a more critical condition is, why does the conservative party not use the Department of Justice to actually do justice?
00:22:41.000And I don't mean this in the, well, actually mentality, but it's, you look at all the, all the, the, these criticisms across the, uh, the 529 issue, you look at, or the, the 529 insurrection, you look at the, the things that happened in Minneapolis, the things that happened in Kenosha.
00:22:59.000It's why don't you actually just, I don't know, maybe do your job.
00:25:20.000People have their worldview and they assume, I should say low IQ people, assume everyone else must see the world the same way they do.
00:25:30.000Therefore, if they don't agree with me, it's because they're lying.
00:25:33.000So someone like Joy Behar, when she says that, she's actually talking more about herself and what she feels than what anyone else actually thinks.
00:27:41.000But I think maybe it would be more advantageous to stop relying on corrupted institutions to do the right thing.
00:27:47.000And I think moving away from them, defunding them, abolishing them, I think would be a better strategy than saying, hey, Bill Barr, Mr. CIA, do the right thing here.
00:27:58.000I think it would be better to, you know, I don't know, some people say play fire with fire, and I understand that argument, and I understand where you guys are coming from, but my knee-jerk reaction is like, wait, what we're doing here is we're adding more fuel to the fire, and it's already very hot in this room.
00:28:20.000I think you're seizing a lot on the argument of state intervention, and just setting that aside for a moment, because I don't even know, I don't think we agree entirely there, but when he mentioned something like having our own version of the SPLC, obviously we're not saying we should have an organization that lies, but the point is the left has re-engineered the culture such that being accused of having any kind of conservative value comes with a very swift and significant social cost.
00:28:42.000But they target, attack, and harass individuals.
00:30:49.000The Antifa, or the rioters, will provoke a response and use that response as justification for further evidence of their need for revolution.
00:31:00.000Who's been calling for revolution this entire time?
00:31:07.000Understanding insurgency conflict, how to fight against a counterinsurgency.
00:31:11.000The purpose of an insurgency is not to defeat you in a military battle.
00:31:14.000It's to break your will to the system.
00:31:17.000How do Americans, how does the right or how do Americans defeat this social contagion that is this insurgency, which is both bred on our soil and abroad?
00:31:30.000is you remember the foundations that built our country it's almost the lord of the rings plot all over again you have to understand who you are and where you come from and then live up to those virtues that is very important that you mention that because one of the huge problems right now is that conservatives but i would say americans overall and people living in western societies have no idea What their values are or what values upon which their society has been founded.
00:31:57.000And so when the left comes along and they try to deconstruct, a lot of people are completely helpless.
00:32:02.000They don't know how to defend and justify the values that our society promotes.
00:32:56.000I just want to say this one thing and then I'll let you jump in.
00:32:58.000So more than one thing can be true at a time.
00:33:00.000It can absolutely be the case that the ruling elite see the left as convenient revolutionaries to destroy the existing social order and then bring to fruition whatever it is that they're seeking to transform our society into.
00:33:10.000It is also the case that the strategy by which they do that is to have the left completely erode any and all moral surrounding family values, destroy the family, and then the government comes into that vacuum and usurps the responsibility that the family normally has.
00:33:23.000with the participation of the right wing.
00:33:25.000But what we have to do, oh I totally agree with you on that, but that's part of why we
00:33:28.000do have to fight left-wing ideology and defend and fight for the family.
00:33:32.000So I don't think it's enough to say the left is being used by these tyrants, therefore
00:33:37.000We actually have to fight the ideology itself because it's useful to them for a reason.
00:33:41.000So my opinion is, I think we're in such a desperate situation.
00:33:44.000We should be fighting against the enslavement, the evisceration of our rights, and the destruction of our financial futures, whether you're on the left, right, or center.
00:33:51.000I think it's time, more than ever, to let go of these kind of differences and say, hey, we're actually being really hurt here.
00:33:59.000We're actually being really screwed over here.
00:34:01.000And unless we come together, unless we realize that we're all in this boat together, we're all going down as a sinking ship.
00:34:07.000I don't want the people who groom children in my boat.
00:34:09.000Look, I hear what you're saying, but I don't think you understand the deep ideological divide between, in the United States, from left and right.
00:34:17.000You have people who have no moral framework.
00:34:21.000They will say simultaneously stop and frisk is bad and red flag laws are good, even though they're variants of the exact same thing and one's even worse.
00:34:28.000Red flag laws, stop and frisk on steroids, they're for it.
00:34:32.000So, when you go to them and say, hey, you know, we need to come together because all these bad things are happening, they'll go, oh, you're right, of course, and then as soon as you turn around, they'll hit you in the back.
00:34:41.000Yeah, I'm not saying it's a good strategy.
00:34:42.000I'm not saying it's even going to work.
00:35:25.000I see the right-wing political establishment willingly going along with this and pretending like they're going to be helping us when they're not.
00:35:34.000I think there's a divide, first of all, of our understanding of right-wing and, like, Republicans, right?
00:39:37.000When we're talking about politics in the establishment uniparty, you've got Republicans who say, okay, Democrats, we'll compromise and give into gun control, and Democrats who say, the moment you do, we'll call for twice as much.
00:39:49.000So the direction only moves towards more gun control.
00:39:52.000Where's the Republican negotiation with Democrats on them abolishing certain gun laws or repealing certain gun laws?
00:40:23.000And they have deceived us every single day.
00:40:26.000And when you look at history, when populations disarm, when populations give up their weapons, When populations become defenseless, it's when governments are able to do whatever they want with them.
00:40:35.000And I think it's extremely dangerous where we're headed towards as a country.
00:40:40.000And I think there should be a criticism right now on the Republicans here more than the Democrats, because it's the Republicans here that are allowing a lot of this to move through.
00:41:36.000I'm willing to, to, uh, compromise and vote for gun control in about three or four days later.
00:41:42.000He had to come out and say, I'm no longer seeking the election, right?
00:41:46.000Yeah, because that's the that's how much pushback that he got that he realized like, oh, I said the one thing that just ruined my entire political career.
00:41:56.000Can we do a recall or something for senators?
00:41:58.000I think it'll go state by state what you'll be able to do with the Senator, but I don't think you can recall a Senator.
00:42:06.000But in that moment, that showed you that still the uproar from the people pushed that guy Jacobs out.
00:42:13.000And to break a little news on this show, I'm actually going to be the comms director for Carl Palladino in New York 23 to go and bring that seat and bring it to a real conservative.
00:42:25.000Carl Palladino, if he's elected, he will be the MTG of the North.
00:42:30.000He will raise hell in the Capitol and we need a guy like that.
00:42:34.000A lot of gun control bills that need to be repealed.
00:43:33.000The reason why you can't own... you have to go through a special process to own a barrel that has a length shorter than 16 inches or to own a suppressor which protects your hearing.
00:43:42.000Suppressors make it safe for everyone.
00:43:44.000Yeah, and this kind of comes back down to that.
00:43:47.000If you think that suppressors are like Hollywood quiet and super dangerous, you don't know what you're talking about.
00:44:17.000It turns out when you betray the American people and you're running for Republican, you lose your seat.
00:44:22.000You betray the American people and you're running for Democrat, you become President.
00:44:28.000If you betray the American people and you're a Democrat, all you gotta do is come out and wave a flag or make some garbage statement, and they'll say, sure, whatever, as long as we're aligned socially so that can fit in.
00:44:37.000Yeah, you can bring economic ruin upon the people where they're literally starving in the streets, but you know what, at least he didn't make mean tweets.
00:45:12.000They don't believe in a damn thing, right?
00:45:15.000And so as long as that seat is sitting there blue as hell and nobody can touch Adam Schiff on a fundraising perspective or a popularity perspective, that guy's going to sit there for a while.
00:45:26.000And if it gets out of his hand, it goes to the left.
00:45:35.000I believe on the conservative side, we are not willing to go into those districts and challenge those people because, quite frankly, it would cost you a lot of money to do it and you'd probably still lose.
00:47:59.000The left is, we should win because we should win.
00:48:03.000The right is, we should win because we propose these ideas that we think will work better.
00:48:08.000Many on the left think that's what they're doing, but then you run into problems of... I mean, look, the modern left may be different from where the left was 10 years ago.
00:48:17.000I hear a lot of people like Bill Maher, and they rag on Republicans, and it's like, yeah, you're talking about, like, boomer Republicans and stuff.
00:48:22.000The younger generation of people that align in this direction are post-liberal, libertarian, moderate, conservative, etc.
00:49:28.000And then all of a sudden, all of these conversations, all of these, oh, gun control, gun control, gun control, assault weapons, assault weapons, assault weapons, you know, magazines, magazines, magazines, and people made bank.
00:49:41.000made money off of all of the ridiculous things that people said.
00:49:45.000They wanted to propose all these ideas, these do-something peoples.
00:49:48.000If that is the extent of your intellect, wow, man.
00:49:51.000But the point that I'm saying is, you had all of these arguments that were made, that all these gun, pro-gun control arguments, all, every single one of them turned out to be factually wrong, ethically wrong, or just, I don't know, overt tyranny.
00:50:15.000But I don't think that is a contributing factor.
00:50:17.000I believe that's a contributing factor to some degree to Civil War.
00:50:20.000No, because the people on the right, or the people who support the private ownership of firearms, respond honestly and say, well, these are your ideas, but you're wrong, so I'll help you out and correct them.
00:50:30.000And then the people who propose gun control go, they don't think, oh, I was wrong.
00:50:39.000If you want to stop a civil war, if you want to prevent or move against a civil war in this country, stop pushing the ridiculous ideas that you've been corrected on for 10 years.
00:51:04.000And I'm just like, wow, they really have no answer.
00:51:06.000I don't think that- It doesn't matter if it's gun control, abortion, or any other left-wing issue, if it's progressive taxes or universal health care, they won't answer the questions, nor will they do any real research.
00:51:16.000And let me throw it to another example.
00:51:17.000Of course we can talk about abortion when we can get sophists from the left who are like, oh, um, you know, it's the woman's choice.
00:51:23.000Give me your answer, your morality, they won't do it.
00:52:10.000There are more poor white people in the United States than minority poor people.
00:52:14.000So if you're talking about poverty, what?
00:52:16.000Tell me how you're going to build wind turbines on the conversation.
00:52:19.000But even when it comes to things that are considered left that I like, they immediately just change the argument to something totally nonsensical.
00:52:26.000And then here I am, as AOC is getting, she wins her primary, talks about the Green New Deal.
00:52:31.000I made a video, I'm like, I love the idea.
00:53:05.000Well, the other thing is, is that when they couch all their arguments and platitudes, and then they don't have to get into the specifics, then it leaves that open, right?
00:53:14.000It's like, well, you know, what is a woman?
00:53:19.000A woman is, you know, by definition, somebody who feels like a woman, blah, blah, blah.
00:53:24.000And then it's like, well, what if somebody feels like a cat?
00:53:57.000The reason why Matt Walsh's question was so effective is that it's an apolitical question that the average person who's not involved in politics would not understand the deeper political meaning behind it.
00:54:07.000They simply see someone say, what is it?
00:54:09.000And they go, Oh yeah, let me give you my answer.
00:54:12.000But when you look at the political debate and you see someone go, well actually, you know the thing is, you go, what?
00:54:30.000We talk about this comic, Ian mentioned it several times, where there's two people And there's a 6 from one perspective and a 9 from another perspective, and both people are looking at it from other directions, pointing at it saying 6 or 9.
00:54:43.000They can't tell, they're looking at the same thing from the other side.
00:54:46.000And, sure, but what I see here, especially with what we do, is I'm staring at that and I go, you know, that could be a 6 or a 9, and they go, you're a bigot, it's clearly a 6!
00:54:57.000And I'm like, I understand why you think that, I'm saying, have you tried looking at it?
00:55:23.000Oh, you're so enlightened because all these blind men can't tell that they're touching an elephant, but there's an elephant because you said it was in the beginning.
00:55:31.000What happened when they went under the hood?
00:55:45.000So when it comes to Matt Walsh's film, part of the brilliance of it is that, look, I was following this on Twitter and I follow Matt, so I saw people tagging him saying, I can't believe Matt was willing to keep this interview in his film even though he got completely scorched in it.
00:56:01.000It's like, what are you talking about?
00:56:02.000Because they literally, they think saying more buzzwords means you won the argument because
00:56:55.000But when I said it, they go, no, you're white.
00:56:57.000Remember when we had that one fellow in here who said no matter what I thought I was, I was white?
00:57:04.000And I was like, we had a guy in here and I was explaining like, you know, I've experienced racism and he was like, no you haven't, you're white.
00:57:10.000And I'm like, well, I'm actually, you know, part of these other things.
00:57:15.000Did you say that how many buzzwords you use makes how smart you are?
00:57:18.000Bouncing the ticket, bellwether state, blue state, coastal elites, coffers, dark horse, dark money, earmark, inside the beltway, am I doing good?
00:57:28.000Look at these blog posts on intersectional feminism and critical race theory from the early 2010s, and it'll be a simple question like, what is racism?
00:57:38.000And then you ask someone on the right and they'll say, positive or negative prejudice based on someone's race.
00:58:59.000You're so smart because you're going to go into, oh it's a social construct.
00:59:02.000Are we gonna go as if anyone ever said like this is how we define men versus women long hair versus short hair
00:59:07.000Are you talking to four-year-olds? So let me explain. You're so smart because you're gonna go into oh, it's a social
00:59:11.000construct So let me let me explain her
00:59:13.000So when Matt Walsh talked to this college professor and he said what is a woman?
00:59:18.000And he said, it's someone who identifies as a woman.
00:59:21.000That's a guy who never actually read the actual literature.
00:59:24.000When he went on Dr. Phil, and was talking to those non-binary people, and he asked them, and they said, a woman is a person who identifies as a woman, because they never actually read the literature.
00:59:32.000Do you know what actual leftist academics say?
00:59:34.000There's only a few of them who've actually written or read about it.
00:59:37.000They say, a woman is a person who identifies as an adult human female.
00:59:56.000But because we're being inclusive, some people identify as an adult human female, such as a trans woman, so we would say that is in the category of woman.
01:00:04.000You can argue the logic there and say, okay, I get what you're trying to say now, but here's why I think that doesn't work.
01:02:05.000And then you have Pete Buttigieg, who's the 10th guy on the McKinsey conference call, who's, you know, kind of chimes in to just let people know that, like, hey, I'm here.
01:02:14.000Make sure you send me my my check for the hour.
01:02:49.000But I think You know, from an empathetic point of view, we should be trying to... it might seem futile, it might seem stupid, but try to at least talk to these people and be like, hey, let's calmly discuss some of this.
01:03:02.000I know some people say that doesn't work, but what else can you do?
01:03:05.000I think mocking, comedy, satire is also very important, but done tastefully and not done in an evil kind of way.
01:03:14.000It's a wise man's claim, is pick your battles.
01:03:17.000And do you want to be fighting these people too?
01:03:21.000If the person is a dishonest interlocutor, if they're a dishonest actor, don't treat them like an honest actor.
01:03:27.000If they are fighting as an insurgent, you do not treat them as the royal guard.
01:03:32.000You do not treat... you have to change your tactics according to your opponent, but it doesn't mean that you have to... that is not the same as failing for the actions that they go.
01:03:43.000The idea with the insurgency, it functions... an insurgency is successful when the will of the people loses faith in the institutions, right?
01:03:52.000The purpose is to destroy your faith in the institutions.
01:03:55.000The insurgency of Minneapolis 2020 Broke the will of the Minneapolis people because they capitulated to defund the police.
01:04:04.000They were swayed by this idea to eradicate the police as if they were the problem.
01:04:20.000So like the point being said, with your statement, if you're going to engage with somebody, Take a minute, instead of going straight into cynicism and saying there's no point, black pill, black flag strategy, go...
01:05:37.000However, subsequent to the Norman Conquest, man began to use more in reference to male human being.
01:05:42.000And by the late 13th century had begun to eclipse usage of the older term wear.
01:05:46.000The medial labial consonants F and M in whiffmen coalesced, and the modern form woman, while the initial element whiff, which meant female, underwent semantic narrowing to the sense of a married woman, wife.
01:05:56.000It is a popular misconception that the term woman is etymologically connected to womb.
01:06:01.000Womb is actually from the Old English word wambe, meaning stomach.
01:06:05.000Modern German retains the colloquial term wampe from Middle High German for potbelly, womb.
01:06:11.000You said something really interesting in there.
01:06:14.000It said that man was used to describe humans in general, right?
01:06:50.000Literally explodes in his hands in protest to his definitions.
01:06:53.000It's an insanely lengthy definition, but at the same time, if any of the college professors in Matt Walsh's film said anything with even a shred of that amount of substance in it, it would not have been so frustrating.
01:09:23.000I mean, you gotta deal with this issue, though.
01:09:26.000The question that you want to ask is, like, the long march to the institutions.
01:09:30.000Let's go back to communism, because communism and gun control tend to be somewhat weirdly tied, because the Communist Manifesto and the Communist, you know, the patron saint of communism said, don't give up your guns.
01:09:41.000Okay, but then all the communism that hasn't been tried has successfully killed millions of people.
01:09:46.000And if you don't want to accept that, then maybe we shouldn't be engaging in a conversation.
01:09:50.000But, the issue that you have to deal with is communism, right?
01:09:56.000You're an academic professor, and your student, who's supposed to be graduating with a bachelor's degree in this form of social studies, is arguing impassionately for communism without reading any of the sources.
01:10:51.000It's great but for you the fasting is only good when it's ordained by the state By the way, I'm getting a message right now saying you got fans in Governor DeSantis' office.
01:11:10.000There'd be a lot of interesting questions to ask DeSantis and have him on here.
01:11:14.000It would be incredible to see the kind of inside baseball that happens because he's been on the front lines for a lot of very important battles.
01:11:22.000Did you hear what he said in response to having Elon Musk's support?
01:11:53.000I just saw an article, I think it was a Business Insider article, that said Ron DeSantis is the most dangerous man because he's internalized all the lessons from Donald Trump and his presidency and carries none of the baggage.
01:12:08.000Would that make Trump the most dangerous man?
01:12:12.000But I guess he doesn't have the baggage.
01:12:13.000Right, because that makes him palatable, right?
01:13:31.000You wrote a book that was factually incorrect.
01:13:34.000Now she included chapters 1 through 5, which are really good chapters where she's addressing factors that can lead to a country engaging in civil war.
01:13:42.000And then, like a puppet, you take all of those things and you tape them onto your political enemy and you say, there they are.
01:13:49.000And then, if you want to read a book, if you want to read a book that's an educational piece and fallacies, start with how civil wars start.
01:13:57.000It's where, here's an idea, here's an idea, here's an overt statement that if you deny it, you're part of them.
01:14:02.000Here's an idea, here's an idea, here's an overt statement.
01:17:03.000Baaaassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss There is no such thing.
01:18:10.000I said it and it she was United States Air Force veteran, a member of the Air National Guard was shot and killed by a US Capitol by US Capitol Police during the 2021 storming of the US Capitol.
01:21:23.000Maybe it's just you keep refreshing it until it gets the answer and then it records that as the most likely answer so it gives it to the next one.
01:21:31.000I'll tell you this, I think what's actually happening is that the way they train the AI is they have it scour the internet, and then they look at what words appear after what words, and what is the most probability for certain words to appear after others.
01:21:43.000What happens is people on the right are very, very active on Facebook and Twitter and social media, and they're posting like crazy, and the left sits there and just stares at what their priests tell them.
01:22:00.000She has like an earpiece in her ear, and when someone asks a question, it auto, like it's, it voice detects it to an AI, and then it just reads it to her, and she just repeats it.
01:22:08.000It's just the wire door battery. We're good.
01:22:19.000We were talking about how everything's great, and the country's in perfect shape, and there's no way we're headed towards any kind of civil war.
01:22:23.000There's gonna be a prosperous economic future.
01:22:29.000We're talking about how there will never be a civil war and beanies are terrible but like that nothing that would interest nothing you would have anything to say about it.
01:23:21.000Well no, because what they want for you is a giant nursing home padded room kind of situation.
01:23:27.000And they would be the ones like, here's your medicine today, here's your food.
01:23:32.000We should just make this whole show, just like every episode now, is we just ask questions to the magic AI.
01:23:36.000I said, is the United States heading for another civil war?
01:23:38.000And it said, there is no way to know for certain, but the current political climate suggests the possibility for another civil war is greater now than it has been in a long time.
01:24:23.000And so, you know, I think that, you know, when people talk about world technologies to blame for our, you know, societal ills and social media, and it's like, well, you know, if you have a system that's built on a binary choice that you're translating your world through, Then maybe you're not necessarily wrong.
01:24:46.000Well, I think there's just an irony to the fact that these machines have to function within the confines of the ironclad laws of reality, but they remove people from reality by making them Completely detached just through like debauchery and excess comfort and all the other things that make you stop thinking about the fact that you have obligations to other people and that you can't just be whatever you want or do whatever you want.
01:25:13.000They load them in into convenience and then they beat them over the head with absolute lunacy and mental disease and that's the byproduct of the modern man and woman.
01:25:27.000You can google yourself into believing whatever you want to believe.
01:25:29.000If you just start with your premise and then you google it until you get enough articles that pile up to say, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see.
01:25:36.000Because what you've done is you've given people access to information.
01:25:40.000You can't put the genie back in the bottle.
01:25:42.000Because humans would eventually create the internet.
01:25:45.000I don't credit it to... I understand that people participate in it, but this is not...
01:25:50.000We don't look back at the invention of the Gutenberg revolution and go like, oh my gosh, how did anybody think of this?
01:25:57.000But you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
01:26:00.000So now, what is the responsibility of us?
01:26:02.000We are all undergoing this transition from the information age to the post-information age because you have access to all this information.
01:28:51.000So, I mean, I am just totally and entirely opposed to the use or production of pornographic materials in general, so I think wholesale I would say, yeah, I should not be used for that, but I don't think anything should be used for that.
01:29:03.000Though I could see that being an application.
01:29:06.000Maybe also like economic distribution.
01:29:10.000Because, I mean, could you, what would you do if you created an AI and the first thing it did is affirmed God?
01:29:15.000It's like, the AI is like, no, it's statistically required that it's necessary.
01:29:24.000You just see your AI Aquinas in like August 8th and then we're like, we don't know how it came to this conclusion.
01:29:30.000Well, you got that one, but then you got the other one.
01:29:32.000It's like, well, what happens if like the, you know, if an AI is this stereotypical pure logic and it just decides that like all people of a certain genetic makeup are not worthy of existing, you know?
01:29:47.000So if you, let's say you created like a food distribution artificial intelligence that was actually looking into or tracking how distribution has worked and how consumption rates work.
01:29:57.000One thing I would say is an AI would probably immediately destroy the U.S.
01:30:02.000If you had an artificial intelligence and said, look at the world, come up with an idea for proper distribution, it would be like, these people are too fat.
01:30:09.000And it'd be like... They need no food immediately.
01:30:14.000For proper human population distribution, giving that food to other countries that typically have more kids would be a bad idea, because then population growth would be too rampant and unsustainable.
01:30:25.000So there's a net positive for the AI in terms of balancing the fact that Americans may eat a lot, but they don't have kids.
01:30:31.000Whereas if you bring that food, you know, one thing I'll point out, people always say like, oh, there's so many starving people, we need to give them food.
01:30:36.000And it's like, if you just dump loads of food in undeveloped nations, where the birth rate is like five to seven, they eat all the food and then have way more kids and they have more starving people.
01:30:47.000We need to teach them how to farm and do all that stuff.
01:30:50.000So an AI certainly would be like, no food for anyone!
01:31:08.000This looks like the weapons that you get to make in Call of Duty.
01:31:15.000For that, you know, whatever you like the new like the the hyper not realism modified guns from Call of Duty Warzone that like after the 2019 version just went spiraling downhill and then you had one person describing it and another person drawing it but the person describing it didn't know what they were looking at and the person who's drawing was like a mechanic.
01:32:50.000Well, here's the crazy thing about AI and healthcare.
01:32:54.000It doesn't need to be actual artificial intelligence.
01:32:58.000Simple machine learning algorithms tracking your behaviors can do crazy things like There's that story of the father who got a bunch of pregnancy ads sent to his daughter, like maternity gear.
01:33:09.000So he starts getting things in the mail labeled to his daughter, and it was like maternity clothing and diapers, and he's like, my daughter is not old enough for this stuff.
01:33:19.000And it turns out, her behaviors and her searches She didn't know she was pregnant, but typing in these certain things, the algorithm did.
01:33:28.000And so it triggered a marketing response of, pregnant person needs pregnant products.
01:33:33.000There's one thing they're talking about that's really fascinating, and I don't know, maybe a good thing, is that based on your search history, based on your movement behaviors and patterns and all that stuff and sleep patterns, it can tell you if you have a disease.
01:33:47.000Like if you've got cancer or tumor or some kind of deficiency, that's where it gets crazy.
01:33:51.000Imagine not even, look, I'm wearing the whoop, right?
01:33:54.000And this talks about, it tells me like if I'm sleeping well or not.
01:33:57.000Imagine that you are just using Facebook, but just based on your Facebook patterns, it figures out that you're pre-diabetic.
01:34:06.000And it just sends you a message like, hey, we noticed based on your patterns of behavior, you're pre-diabetic, if you do these things, you will reverse course or something like that.
01:34:14.000Wouldn't that be, I mean, that's crazy.
01:34:16.000Dude, this girl Google searched pickles and peanut butter once and I was like, she's pregnant.
01:34:21.000Well, I mean, the other question is I wonder how apocryphal it is.
01:34:24.000Now I do, I know we got to get to this, but I want to use that question, both of your questions for one last thing.
01:34:29.000That has to go with the answer with, what should an AI not be in charge of?
01:34:34.000Anything to do with human rights, because then you are no longer a citizen, you're a subject.
01:35:09.000Technically, it's time for Super Chats.
01:35:11.000Yeah, but here, let's, while he's typing, I'll get to my point, is that this idea of human rights and this idea of like an AI, you do not want an AI in charge of something that we refer to as human rights, right?
01:35:22.000Because at that point, because an AI is something created by a human, but it also has to deal with, it also becomes a philosophical question of human rights.
01:35:30.000And we recognize within our order of government that a government does not have the right to dictate human rights.
01:35:37.000It also doesn't have the right to infringe on them.
01:35:40.000And so if you give that to an AI, you are already creating a hierarchy of AI over man.
01:35:53.000And as you expand that, you're finding absolute contradictions, which you call good, I call evil.
01:35:59.000You have the second bifurcation of the government and the people.
01:36:02.000And the problem that I think you're seeing within the way that we are engaging in government is that, or we are engaging as citizens, is that as that gap, that bifurcation solidifies between the government and the people, even within that government strata, you will have the right and the left.
01:36:17.000You have people competing against each other.
01:36:19.000They will engage in lawfare against one another.
01:36:22.000That will use the people below, which, you know, as to the idea of the company Redacted, if you want to check it out, Moon's Haunted, we got stuff on the site, it's going, it's already live.
01:36:33.000But the idea of as below, so above, is you have the government above that as they're engaging in lawfare, engaging in creating things like assault weapons bans and all of these other things, they're using you as fodder to target their political opponents in government.
01:36:53.000Like if you want, if you want to have the AI question, no, I don't want AI over my rights because I do not, we as our government do not recognize that the government is allowed to perceive us as subjects.
01:37:06.000If you want to take away the people's guns, you do not see them as human beings.
01:37:10.000Well, and people don't realize with the question of AI and ethical concerns, we're really going to have to start confronting that in a very real way in the near future.
01:37:20.000So even just looking at something like self-driving cars, once we have fully autonomous vehicles, you're going to be expecting artificial intelligence to make decisions literally about who lives and who dies in certain scenarios.
01:37:31.000So for example, if a child runs out into the street and the only way to avoid the child is for the car to steer into another car next to it, because there isn't enough time to brake, the AI has to decide, do you hit the child, or do you risk killing the passenger, or kill the passenger?
01:37:47.000The scene, how it starts, or, you know, save the girl, save the girl, no, you have a higher probability of, you know, chance of living, my system tells me.
01:37:56.000Well, but you know, and I think at this point, what's going to have to happen is whoever is designing the AI is going to be like writing probabilities such as that.
01:38:06.000And they're going to be telling the AI in what situations should you save who?

01:38:25.000There's like several hundred episodes.
01:38:34.000Benjamin Grebbing says, arguing over who the Dems will pick for president in 2024 doesn't matter when they are going to... I'm not going to read that one.
01:41:37.000I watched some of it, and then it was like a PSYOP, and then a PSYOP of a PSYOP, and it got really convoluted, and it was more involved in pushing certain points rather than actually writing a good story.
01:41:50.000There is one funny joke in it where one of the characters is a sentient psychic mushroom from like hollow earth and it talks about how Joe keeps trying to hit him up to do like do shrooms or something.
01:42:01.000I actually thought that was pretty funny.
01:42:06.000Some of the characters are really interesting and the plot is kind of different but at the end of the day it's the same kind of Hollywood movie and series that you see with the same underlining messages that are just tiresome at this point.
01:42:18.000Chiral says, Tim, I truly hope tensions in this country never break into open conflict.
01:42:23.000I've tried thinking what we could expect based on history, and the events that stood out to me were Kansas 1855, Russia 1917, and Spain 1936.
01:45:00.000No, I mean like, in our generation, I'm 32, has every reason to be extremely disappointed in the NRA.
01:45:07.000Because we've watched you grandstand and make your points come from gun culture.
01:45:11.000You know who the NRA just put back as their president?
01:45:15.000The same guy they fired for embezzlement, Wayne LaPierre.
01:45:19.000So maybe the stories that were told about him weren't true.
01:45:22.000If you believe that, find out for yourself.
01:45:25.000But no, the NRA, if you are honest, if you are on the left, or you are a pro-gun control advocate, and you are honest about the conversation, stop talking about the NRA.
01:45:39.000Because as soon as you say that, we recognize you're not worth engaging with.
01:47:18.000You know a lot of the money that we spent that's in the deficit was spent to squeeze out 1% of life expectancy for a bunch of people, mostly boomers.
01:47:29.000You know, so that's, you know, you spent a lot on our heads.
01:47:35.000So right now, boomers hold a disproportionate amount of wealth relative to previous generations at this time.
01:47:41.000Millennials, I was looking at this chart, said historically millennials now that they're in their thirties should hold a quarter or a third of the wealth of the nation, but boomers still hold it.
01:47:51.000When boomers die and that wealth either goes to the state or to their kids, it's going to be a, it's, it's going to be like a tsunami hitting.
01:47:59.000all the sudden millennials are gonna have the homes the resources in the
01:48:02.000wealth that their parents were holding onto for a long time and which might which might encourage people to be closer
01:48:07.000twisted yeah I'm reading a book by a boomer and the boomer talked about how
01:48:11.000they will one day be in charge of the economy and now they are
01:48:15.000was written in 1990 is extremely condescending and my greatest criticism
01:48:19.000against the boomer generation is you outright failed or refused to pass your
01:48:23.000values or any values on to your children because you said things like I don't want to force to me to
01:48:28.000believe anything right good now to me believes nothing
01:48:32.000And how many of these parents, I know a ton of people I grew up with whose parents were like, I got them the guitar, but I didn't force them to play it.
01:48:41.000I got them the skateboard, but I didn't force them to use it.
01:48:43.000And now I know a bunch of people who suck at anything, don't have worthless degrees, and there's a skateboard and a guitar sitting in the corner of the room they never touched.
01:48:51.000Then I know some people who are pro skateboarders and they were like, my dad made me go to the skate park because he was like, if I buy you a skateboard, you're going to skate.
01:49:07.000And they're like, oh, it's the greatest thing that my parents ever did for me.
01:49:09.000Well, and there's an irony here, right?
01:49:11.000Millennials, if they end up having wealth, a lot of it's going to be inherited from their parents.
01:49:14.000And this is the generation that's pushing for inheritance taxes because they've been so thoroughly propagandized by the state into believing that they exclusively benefit the rich and that they have an entitlement to other people's money and that that will solve the...
01:49:43.000My point about Crystal and Kyle is that, yeah, I don't agree with their opinions, but I think they actually try to approach arguments in good faith.
01:50:21.000It's like, my thing is, you know, we disagree on so much, you know, especially, you know, like Ian's here and Luke or all of us, we all have different opinions.
01:50:27.000Seamus and I disagree on things, but if we're coming at it from like, what are the facts and what are the arguments and why do we feel the way we do, then we're trying, you know?
01:50:35.000I actually agree with everyone here on everything.
01:50:37.000I've never disagreed with you guys before.
01:50:41.000All right, Beastly Devil says Matt Walsh once critiqued Vosch that reacted to his Johnny the Walrus book.
01:50:46.000He made the argument that Vosch is trying, and as we know already, trying to meet the minimum word count on an essay project to make them sound smart.
01:50:55.000This is literally what the left does to try and sound smart.
01:50:58.000They think that if they talk like this and use verbose A verbose lexicon in their explanations of things.
01:51:05.000It will make them sound much more articulate and intelligent, and their argument will be more cogent and acceptable.
01:51:10.000Instead of just being like, I think this because of this.
01:51:13.000And also, the double edge to that is they say, oh, what, you can't read my explanation?
01:51:40.000They mistake education for intelligence Well, also they mistake the idea of they they mistake the purpose of communicating with trying to make themselves sound smart Rather than trying to get an actual idea across so it doesn't matter If you're really trying to communicate something, then what you should do is try to condense it into something that's more consumable.
01:51:57.000That's part of why I've dedicated my life and my business towards making short cartoons.
01:52:02.000Some things cannot be reduced into a small format.
01:52:12.000You have the same people who are trying to present that they are being intelligent presenting while also simultaneously saying that intelligent presenting is also racist because, insert minority here, can't do it.
01:52:27.000I will say, I agree with you that there are some explanations that require a longer form, 100%, but it's also the case that if you can communicate that same idea with less words, you are more intelligent.
01:54:09.000a lot a lot a lot of our leader and that their boyfriend girlfriend now
01:54:13.000yeah i mean i'm i i'm from minnesota should have known those ill hon but like
01:54:17.000okay at least bernie sanders has it on the paperwork is being just
01:54:21.000well also i i i the administrative state approves of your corruption
01:54:25.000yes i mean shot the republicans that made a bunch of money at the stock
01:54:28.000market to like yeah i i i don't think i'm sure i didn't realize one
01:54:32.000The reason I bring up and love discussing Bernie's houses is because so much of his constituency thinks that being a landlord makes you the scum of the earth, and I find something hilarious about the idea that it's okay to own three houses when you only need to live in one and keep the other two vacant in case you might like to go there, but it's horrible and evil to own three houses, live in one, and allow other people to live in the other two houses.
01:54:54.000Because no communist thinks they're gonna end up a dirt farmer.
01:55:39.000All these videos are just fabricated for ratings.
01:55:41.000One of them I watched, it was like two islands.
01:55:43.000The men on one, the women on the other.
01:55:45.000The women got lost, and then, like, they were like, let's split up, we'll go look for water, you stay here.
01:55:51.000And the women who went to look for water walked around in circles, like, five times, and are crying and breaking down, because they didn't understand how they had gone in circles, because they were, like, setting markers, but they kept going in circles.
01:56:02.000And then they did this overview of the map, and they're, like, showing the route they kept taking, and they were freaking out.
01:56:06.000The men had a shelter, they had fire, they had food.
01:56:09.000Some say they did that to make an entertaining video that people would share and talk about, and it was intentionally, like, guys who had skills and women who didn't.
01:56:17.000But nonetheless, those episodes, they do exist.
01:56:20.000Well, have you considered that those women were raised in a patriarchal society that didn't teach them survival skills and that's why they failed?
01:56:59.000It'll sit there and it will be, if the administration, the executive branch that's supposed to run it tries to, you know, come after them, it's going to resist.
01:57:09.000If you try to, you know, so the institution, once it gets large enough, will just seek to preserve itself.
01:57:15.000And that's why, again, it's all just a shuffle.
01:57:18.000In some other universe, Mueller would have been Trump's AG, and Bill Barr would have been doing the special counsel investigation.
01:57:26.000I think our commenter makes a good point, is that you can talk about the corruption in the justice system all day long, but you have to provide a solution, an alternative.
01:57:34.000Part of that solution would be, if you're the Department of Justice, seek justice.
01:57:47.000We got Lavati says, just blew my family's mind today with the whole eight and nine month elective abortions that are happening in some states.
01:57:54.000I have never seen a more disgusted face.
01:57:56.000Godspeed with what y'all do and keep it up.
01:58:00.000Democrats tried to legalize abortion at any time for the health of the mother.
01:58:07.000Abortion is defined by the CDC as a termination of a pregnancy that does not result in a live birth.
01:58:12.000That would mean if a woman at eight and a half months was at risk, they could kill the baby instead of just delivering a viable baby, because it says a viable baby, but all of it's laid out.
01:58:25.000Why not just say if the baby cannot survive, like all attempts must be made to save the baby, And the immediate response is, it never happens anyway, why are you so obsessed with this?
01:58:35.000And I'm like, I didn't say it was happening.
01:58:37.000I said, why do you want to legalize it?
01:58:42.000We've talked about this on the show a number of times, but they'll say health of the mother, and then their late-term abortion doctors will say, yeah, the most cited reason is depression.
01:58:50.000So people think like, oh, we have to deliver this baby earlier, she's going to die.
01:58:55.000No, no, no, they're saying, in this instance, they're literally saying if a woman's health is impacted for any reason, they can be like, guess we gotta kill the baby.
01:59:03.000But it's like, what if we delivered it instead?
02:01:05.000Pro-lifers don't care about these women and they don't care about children after they're born.
02:01:08.000And then when pro-lifers literally have charities and organizations set up to provide these women with resources when they're brave enough to bring life into the world, pro-choicers torch them.
02:02:02.000The lead guitar was a studio musician, and Nishra Allman produced the song and arranged it and worked with some outside talent to put it all together.
02:02:10.000I wrote the story, I wrote the concept for the video, and all of that from creation and inception was mine, except for all the nitty-gritty pieces that were putting everything together.
02:04:53.000We released a cartoon yesterday about the attempted assassination of Kavanaugh and how the left aren't responding to that and inciting that.
02:04:59.000So you guys might want to check that out.
02:05:01.000Also, I have a website now because we're trying to get independent from big tech.
02:05:50.000He's 27 again and just as youthful as he actually was when he was 27.
02:05:53.000You guys may follow him at Andy Leiderman on Twitter and Instagram and you can follow me at sarahpetchlitz on twitter and minds.com as well as sarahpetchlitz.me.
02:06:02.000We will see all of you over at... Well, actually, no, it's Friday.
02:06:09.000In the last three videos, I think we did, maybe it's three, Jamie Kilstein, the comedian who's been on the show several times, he's coming on to help us produce the comedy portions of the CastCastle vlog.
02:06:19.000When we first launched it, the idea was to do a vlog and then mix in, you know, comedic bits and funny things.
02:06:25.000We had one in the beginning where, like, Luke blew up the castle in his way.
02:06:29.000And then since then we've been trying to get into the habit of making it kind of like a semi-fictionalized version of the work we do here to make it funny.
