00:00:00.000 When an officer approaches your car, be polite.
00:00:05.280 Is there a problem, officer?
00:00:09.640 And stay in your car with your hands on the wheel.
00:00:13.440 What the fuck do you want, motherfucker?
00:00:17.680 Unless you want to ask this.
00:00:21.320 That's fine.
00:00:22.060 US citizen .
00:00:24.820 You want to come at us?
00:00:26.520 You want to come at us?
00:00:27.880 Unless you want to ask this.
00:00:31.260 Would you like to know more?
00:00:32.640 Hello, Simone.
00:00:34.040 I am, well, I guess it's a somber occasion to be here with you today because today we're
00:00:37.440 going to be discussing somebody who died and the public reaction to it.
00:00:42.160 And I think what a lot of people are missing, because I want to focus more on the meta commentary
00:00:47.000 on the ice shooting death, because I think it's really interesting in a number of perspectives.
00:00:53.620 One of, I think, the biggest is that she has not turned into, like when it first happened,
00:00:59.200 there was this feeling that, oh, this is going to turn into a death that a lot of people rally
00:01:04.180 around, like the BLM deaths, like the trouble.
00:01:06.620 Well, and people were pointing out even the geographic proximity, the physical proximity
00:01:11.420 of her death to the death of George Floyd.
00:01:13.660 Yeah, and yet it has not turned into that.
00:01:18.700 It very much has not turned into that.
00:01:21.220 So I want to talk about why that hasn't happened.
00:01:23.300 And I'm going to start on that question, because I think it's a very, very fascinating.
00:01:27.620 And I think a large part of it comes down to a video that you shared with me, right,
00:01:30.940 where they are interviewing a white woman who is at a protest about this woman's death.
00:01:36.060 And she says she feels uncomfortable being there, and she's not sure it is ethical for her
00:01:41.920 to be there.
00:01:42.620 And the reason why she is not sure it is ethical for her to be there is because they
00:01:48.400 are protesting the death of a white woman.
00:01:50.960 And she feels that that is a fundamentally wrong thing to do.
00:01:55.280 So, I mean, I'm just walking around kind of just dazed because I got to, I was like,
00:02:00.440 I don't know if it's the right thing to do.
00:02:01.580 It feels kind of wrong being here in some way.
00:02:03.640 I don't know why.
00:02:05.120 Why do you think, yeah.
00:02:06.500 I don't know.
00:02:08.720 I don't know.
00:02:09.520 Like, where that stems from, like, I don't, I mean, part of it is being, like, a white
00:02:18.260 woman that I'm privileged, and I have a lot of privilege.
00:02:23.880 So, I feel like white tears are not always something that's helpful or necessary when
00:02:29.800 black and brown people have been experiencing this for a long time.
00:02:33.560 This isn't new for them.
00:02:34.700 And so, I don't know if that makes any sense in that way.
00:02:40.280 How did you decide that you should be here?
00:02:42.540 Are you still figuring that out?
00:02:44.320 Well, I work, like, two miles from here.
00:02:47.100 So, driving by, just, I don't, you know, it's like, I'm here.
00:02:52.560 I'm two miles.
00:02:53.640 I can stop.
00:02:54.900 And that was, for me, that, I mean, she felt like-
00:02:58.300 That it's wild that this woman died for the cause, and people are not even willing to
00:03:02.940 grieve for her on her side because she's a white woman.
00:03:07.820 And if you look at the note, what they could have said is, well, she's a lesbian, at least.
00:03:14.340 Right, but no, she doesn't even get lesbian points.
00:03:17.400 That she was a lesbian has become more widely known since this piece came out because her
00:03:22.680 partner was there, this recording that I'm about to show, because her partner was there
00:03:27.240 encouraging her to gun it, and now everybody knows, oh, she had the partner there.
00:03:30.540 Now that we have the video, which we didn't have when we recorded this, it's much less ambiguous
00:03:34.800 what happened, a few things that you should note about this video as you're watching it
00:03:39.440 is, as we say in this piece, and we go on to say this, we predicted this very accurately,
00:03:44.460 they clearly thought this was a joke, and they did not understand that they're dealing with
00:03:48.280 law enforcement officers.
00:03:49.820 You can say, well, he's not a cop.
00:03:50.840 He is a law enforcement officer, okay?
00:03:53.600 That she is saying to a law enforcement officer, and I love that progressives take this line to
00:03:58.580 mean that she wasn't a bad guy, like, we don't even hate you, like, while laughing.
00:04:03.940 Imagine a cop pulls you over, and you're like, we don't even hate you, whatever, and then
00:04:09.280 you try to drive away.
00:04:10.900 That's a sign of so little respect and understanding for the situation you're in at the moment.
00:04:17.720 The other thing to note about the video is the position of the law enforcement officer.
00:04:22.560 So you'll see him walking around the front of the car, and as he starts walking around
00:04:26.480 the front of the car, this woman's wife is on the other side of the car trying to open
00:04:31.720 the door, and she stops trying to open the door as he walks around the car and starts
00:04:37.540 saying, like, gun it or go or something.
00:04:40.260 It's hard to make out exactly.
00:04:41.920 Other people have done better analysis.
00:04:44.380 And that's when she starts going.
00:04:46.080 So he had no reason to think that she was about to rev the engine like this because her
00:04:50.100 wife was pulling the handle at the time he starts moving around the front of the car.
00:04:54.860 And you can also see that he's nowhere near made it around the entire front of the car.
00:04:59.740 It would have been almost impossible for her not to hit him, given his position where
00:05:05.240 he is, when she starts attempting to move.
00:05:08.940 A lot of people say he slipped on the ice or something, or it is the gun that's shooting
00:05:13.360 that you're hearing when he falls over, which is clearly not the case.
00:05:17.200 It is him being hit by the car.
00:05:20.140 He was only about two-thirds around the front of the car.
00:05:24.100 He was much more directly hit by the car than I was aware of.
00:05:27.780 Finally, you hear her laughing in this piece.
00:05:31.180 And it is clear, as we say throughout the rest of this, that she thought this was a joke.
00:05:35.560 Like, that she doesn't understand that these are law enforcement officers and that there
00:05:40.780 could be repercussions for her actions.
00:05:48.140 That's fine, dude.
00:05:49.140 I'm not mad at you.
00:05:50.580 Show your face.
00:05:51.820 I'm not mad at you.
00:05:52.480 It's okay.
00:05:52.840 We don't change our plates every morning, just so you know.
00:05:56.060 It'll be the same plate when you come talk to us later.
00:05:58.620 That's fine.
00:05:59.420 U.S. citizen.
00:06:00.300 You want to come at us?
00:06:03.780 You want to come at us?
00:06:05.180 I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy.
00:06:07.200 Out of the car.
00:06:08.020 Out of the car.
00:06:09.020 Again, note her partner's hand on the door handle as the guy starts walking around the
00:06:13.740 front of the car.
00:06:14.740 No way he could have known she was about to try to gun it.
00:06:17.320 Get out of the car.
00:06:18.620 Get out of the car.
00:06:20.460 Get out of the car.
00:06:20.740 I've also found it weird that nobody mentioned, like, this is, I found when I was researching
00:06:28.260 this myself, that she was married to a woman.
00:06:30.220 Well, then she has a, I think she has a kid, too.
00:06:31.940 She's a parent.
00:06:32.900 No, she has three kids.
00:06:34.680 She lost custody of two of them and had one left.
00:06:37.620 Who she had with a different guy who died and then she, okay, so this is a thing, like,
00:06:43.480 I haven't heard that much about her life.
00:06:44.980 Well, let's talk about that.
00:06:45.700 Well, that's crazy because, I mean, I think that's one of the most tragic things when someone
00:06:49.440 dies is especially if they're a parent, especially if a kid is losing a parent, you know?
00:06:54.300 Like, the top number one thing either you or I think about when we are afraid of death
00:06:58.600 isn't dying ourselves.
00:06:59.860 It's our kids losing a major source of support and a parent, right?
00:07:06.100 And that is the most sad, to me, thing about this, is that a child has lost, well, now I
00:07:11.980 know three children have lost their mother, and that is terribly sad.
00:07:16.360 No one's talking about that.
00:07:18.220 That's boring.
00:07:19.160 What's more interesting is why is nobody talking about this?
00:07:22.640 Yeah, no, that is a question.
00:07:24.120 That is a question.
00:07:24.660 The weirder thing is, one, that she hasn't become a symbol for the left to rally around
00:07:29.500 and her being a white woman, people pointed out that when the guy lit himself on fire for
00:07:36.240 the Palestinian cause, I mean, he was a white guy who had formerly been in the U.S. military
00:07:40.720 and people were on the left attacking him after that in comments, you know, saying, how dare
00:07:45.600 you do this if you're not black or something like that?
00:07:47.540 It was a bunch of black people attacking him, really, is what it was.
00:07:49.700 And I guess they felt like that there cannot be, or even the threat of a martyr who isn't
00:07:55.800 a minority was a problem for them.
00:07:58.640 And that's when I realized that guy also didn't have a movement form around him.
00:08:03.500 I also, in the news cycle following that, learned very little about that guy's life.
00:08:09.220 And I think through this, we can see a couple things.
00:08:12.980 In the left now, there is a genuine fear and concern among the, like, protesting class,
00:08:19.140 the class that could form a BLM or something like that, of white martyrs, of even saying
00:08:27.560 that white lives matter, right?
00:08:29.320 And I think that they got so afraid, like, when people were like, all lives matter, and
00:08:34.000 people would attack you for saying that, and they'd say, well, you know, that's a dog
00:08:39.020 whistle, you know, some lives matter more than others.
00:08:41.840 This is why you shouldn't rewrite animal form the way they do, you know, like, it's important
00:08:45.360 to know when people are saying that.
00:08:46.280 But no, people would say all lives matter.
00:08:48.260 And people would say, no, you obviously, like, we're protesting black lives here because
00:08:53.920 people seem to care less about black lives, right?
00:08:57.740 That's the charitable assumption they would say.
00:08:59.740 And you are trying to minimize or silence that conversation.
00:09:04.300 And then the other person would say, no, I genuinely think that when people are saying
00:09:08.560 black lives matter, the implication is that white lives do not matter, and or do not matter
00:09:15.560 as much.
00:09:16.820 Or, yeah, or specifically black lives matter more.
00:09:20.420 Yeah.
00:09:20.640 And I think that we are seeing that to a large group of the left, at least to the larger leftist
00:09:26.280 zeitgeist, that was genuinely internalized.
00:09:28.560 Well, but what's so odd to me, too, though, is when you look at these protesters, a sizable
00:09:36.640 number of them, especially the ones who have allegedly quit their jobs, because this woman
00:09:41.680 isn't the only one who basically went to full-time protesting like this, are college-educated,
00:09:48.580 often middle-aged to older, but sometimes young, too, white women.
00:09:51.580 So that's also the super odd thing.
00:09:54.680 Explain that to me.
00:09:55.920 Do you have any theories?
00:09:56.520 Yeah, I want to go into this woman's life.
00:09:58.640 I want to go into sort of what she did day to day so we can better understand.
00:10:02.840 And also, I think it's interesting, one of the things I keep hearing about this is left
00:10:07.060 is saying, you know, this could be you.
00:10:09.500 This could be any of your listeners.
00:10:11.600 This could be anyone.
00:10:12.780 And I think that that's a really interesting statement as well, because obviously to you or
00:10:18.660 to me, growing up, I was taught, and this is something that I just sort of assumed that
00:10:25.200 everyone knew, that trying to drive away from a police officer who has you pulled over is
00:10:33.500 exactly the type of thing that can get you shot, especially if you do it in a way where
00:10:38.660 you hit the officer.
00:10:40.340 And I've noticed in the discussion of this, like a lot of people on the right are like,
00:10:44.900 she was trying to run over the officer.
00:10:46.500 She was trying to, and there's two angles from the video.
00:10:50.540 One makes it look more like she was trying to maybe intentionally run him over.
00:10:53.820 The other, it looks like, just got in the way or something.
00:10:57.380 And she just sort of like side swipes him.
00:10:59.640 The point being is, I don't think that anybody disagrees.
00:11:02.240 He did have to go to the hospital, but he was side swiped by her car.
00:11:05.340 You know, her car could have run over his feet easily.
00:11:07.360 Well, some people have pointed out, because we don't know the full details of this, that
00:11:10.580 he may have been hospitalized as just part of protocol.
00:11:13.140 So he may have not been injured, but for liability reasons or for internal policy, he
00:11:17.980 had to go to the hospital and then be discharged after being evaluated.
00:11:21.920 Right.
00:11:22.120 I mean, that's, that's totally true.
00:11:24.860 Still, I think another important detail, though, that I'm expecting you to point out is that
00:11:28.400 this same man had previously been dragged for, I can't like quite a significant distance.
00:11:35.520 And you can even see images of the track marks in the ground when someone else evading ICE
00:11:42.100 arrest pulled him in his car as, as he was dragged him in his car, as he was trying to
00:11:48.660 get away from him.
00:11:49.660 So this man had already been hospitalized, been injured significantly, gotten quite a few
00:11:54.820 stitches.
00:11:55.620 No, but I don't think that, I mean, I know that like that motivated his behavior in the
00:12:00.100 moment and everything like that.
00:12:01.240 But what I'm trying to point out here and the larger point I'm making is outside of
00:12:05.860 that, even if you take the most charitable leftist position of this, somebody is pulled
00:12:10.940 over by a cop and then they, in a way where their car physically contacts the cop, I think
00:12:16.760 that pretty obviously happens from the video, whether it was running over, I think is the
00:12:21.180 more, in a way where, or, or whether she intended to kill him.
00:12:25.080 I do, I actually don't get the impression that she intended to kill him.
00:12:27.980 And that's a pretty aggressive thing to do.
00:12:29.360 If you look at her history, it doesn't look like she was intending to kill him, but she
00:12:33.020 knew she was trying to get away from somebody trying to arrest her who was outside her car
00:12:38.020 on foot while she was in the car.
00:12:39.660 I think a normal human being, and this is what I find the claim of, this could happen
00:12:43.120 to anyone.
00:12:44.300 That's exactly the type of thing that gets you shot by the police.
00:12:47.620 Like if somebody said, Malcolm, a police officer is outside your car with a, with a notebook,
00:12:54.540 right?
00:12:54.720 Like, what are some of the things that you could do that are very likely to get you shot?
00:12:59.620 Dive under my seat, fumbling to grab something, dive across the car rest to try to open, get
00:13:05.060 something out of my glove vest, pretend to pull something out of my jacket or drive away.
00:13:10.940 Well, and that's, that is just the last in a long line of poor decisions that she made.
00:13:18.280 The biggest, I mean, also the fact that she went to antagonize ICE officers, not just this
00:13:26.740 one on this one occasion, but repeatedly.
00:13:29.120 But that's like her, so I want to, I want to talk about that.
00:13:31.200 So what, why it's interesting when they say this could happen to anyone, what they mean,
00:13:37.500 and there's actually a lot that can be unpacked from that statement because, and I think that
00:13:41.600 this is part of why this hasn't caught on with like, for example, the black community,
00:13:45.500 the black community knows you can't drive away in the middle of a, of a, of a being stopped
00:13:51.840 by a police officer.
00:13:52.780 Have you ever been face to face with a police officer and wondered, is he about to kick my
00:13:58.620 ass?
00:13:59.480 Follow these easy tips.
00:14:01.240 You'll be fine.
00:14:02.220 First, obey the law.
00:14:06.140 Laws were made for a reason.
00:14:08.120 Think of them as hints.
00:14:09.720 You've heard people say, man, I wouldn't do that shit if I was you.
00:14:13.200 Well, here's some of that shit.
00:14:15.420 We all know what happened to Rodney King, but Rodney wouldn't have gotten his ass kicked
00:14:19.300 if he had just followed this simple tip.
00:14:22.960 When you see flashing police lights in your mirror, stop immediately.
00:14:26.980 Everybody knows, if the police have to come and get you, they're bringing an ass kicking
00:14:34.160 with them.
00:14:36.640 When an officer approaches your car, be polite.
00:14:41.940 Is there a problem, officer?
00:14:46.360 And stay in your car with your hands on the wheel.
00:14:49.820 What the fuck do you want, motherfucker?
00:14:54.820 Unless you want your ass kicked.
00:14:58.100 Well, there's, there's even this, I haven't seen one for a long time, but back before I
00:15:02.900 quit feeds, because they're not good for you on social media, like reels and stuff.
00:15:07.040 There, there was this guy who would do, I think TikTok videos, but also like he posted
00:15:10.540 to YouTube his shorts of him just being pulled out.
00:15:13.480 He was a black guy being pulled over by cops.
00:15:15.400 And he would always record them and he would record like with both of his hands up and
00:15:20.080 like the whole thing just to, cause he knows, cause everyone knows like, yeah, don't, don't
00:15:25.440 do anything stupid.
00:15:26.300 Absolutely.
00:15:27.040 It's a, it's a thing.
00:15:27.960 It is a very, very, very well-known.
00:15:29.840 And the level of privilege.
00:15:31.760 So there's, there's two things that could have led her to this decision.
00:15:35.120 And they likely both influenced it.
00:15:36.760 One is living in a bubble of such intense privilege that she did not believe that a police officer
00:15:43.340 or anyone in a position of authority would react to her just violating like law, right?
00:15:50.120 Like she could just run away and you, and you see this, but the second, I mean, you see
00:15:55.700 this in the left more broadly, like when they get mad at people for like stopping shoplifters
00:15:59.340 and stuff like that.
00:16:00.120 Right.
00:16:00.760 Like, but the, the bigger issue here is that she likely didn't see this person as a legitimate
00:16:09.760 officer of the law or more broadly saw law officers as antagonistic, like felt that she
00:16:16.220 had a duty because I think that your perception and the way you relate to law officers needs
00:16:21.660 to be quite warped for it to be anywhere in your brain that you're going to try to drive
00:16:27.720 away from them.
00:16:28.340 And if anything, I think that her death was the result of ICE being overly lenient in the
00:16:38.100 way that they had treated her historically.
00:16:40.260 And they had treated protesters like her historically see normally to a normal person.
00:16:45.040 And I'm pretty sure this is anywhere.
00:16:47.000 You have a degree of fear when cops are around, right?
00:16:50.540 Like a lot of people are like, Oh, you don't understand your X minor.
00:16:52.960 No, everyone's scared when the cops are around, right?
00:16:55.040 Because you know, they've got a gun and they can shoot you if you do something stupid,
00:16:58.620 right?
00:16:58.900 Like you're polite.
00:17:00.440 You have prescripted ways of acting and everything like this.
00:17:03.360 This is very normal for people to do.
00:17:06.040 And the reason, one of the reasons why we do that is because we know very well what happens
00:17:11.040 when we don't do that, that you can be shot, that things can escalate.
00:17:14.340 But now suppose day after day for weeks or months, you made it part of your job to harass
00:17:21.120 police officers trying to do their job.
00:17:22.980 Like they're out arresting other people and you're trying to park your car in front of
00:17:27.060 theirs or flailing or yelling or trying to, you know, you are doing this day after day
00:17:32.700 after day.
00:17:33.620 And you eventually reach a point where the idea of like the police begin to look comical
00:17:39.900 to you.
00:17:40.320 It's just a game to you, right?
00:17:42.040 Like you don't think anymore, Oh, I shouldn't try to drive away from a police officer who's
00:17:47.720 pulled me over.
00:17:48.320 And I think that that's what happened to her is she had repeatedly been, and when people
00:17:55.180 say like, what was her job, she was a poet, a professional poet.
00:17:57.500 So she didn't have a job, right?
00:17:58.700 Everybody knows that means you don't have a job, right?
00:18:00.600 I didn't know that.
00:18:02.800 Yeah.
00:18:03.260 So she was like, she just dropped her kid off at daycare.
00:18:06.360 So she did like do things other than protest, but it seemed like protesting was one of her
00:18:10.900 main things.
00:18:12.100 So she, she had rather than, rather than parent her kid.
00:18:18.280 Yeah.
00:18:18.780 So she literally leaves her kid at daycare so she can spend her days protesting.
00:18:27.300 That's, I mean, I guess this isn't anything new, like literally that's kind of the plot
00:18:31.160 of Mary Poppins, but in this case, it's probably not very good daycare and it's not women's
00:18:37.520 suffrage.
00:18:39.460 I love that.
00:18:40.360 I love that.
00:18:40.980 You know that you're, you're fantastic.
00:18:42.500 I don't know, by the way, that the Mary Poppins, she's brainwashed by Mary Poppins as a kid.
00:18:46.440 This is what they were talking about.
00:18:47.220 Yeah.
00:18:47.340 She just thinks this is what you do.
00:18:48.920 You, you, you drop off the kids with a professional and then you go and you go and
00:18:54.020 protest and agitate.
00:18:56.220 Right.
00:18:57.640 Well, you see, it's even worse if she brings her kid to harass law enforcement officers.
00:19:03.360 As you see in this next clip, for some people, this is just very normalized.
00:19:06.760 Their kids are, you know, shields for them.
00:19:09.220 And she didn't even have him in the appropriate kids, like jumper seat.
00:19:12.900 He's six years old.
00:19:13.960 This is wild.
00:19:15.420 How little do these people care about their own children?
00:19:18.560 I have a six year old right here.
00:19:19.740 Am I child in the car?
00:19:20.640 Oh, child in danger.
00:19:21.860 Yes, child in danger.
00:19:23.320 She's hot too.
00:19:24.340 So it's okay.
00:19:24.860 Active policing.
00:19:26.080 This is all on kids.
00:19:27.100 Look at this.
00:19:27.660 They're trying to explain it to her.
00:19:29.540 Six year old right here.
00:19:30.420 Am I child in the car?
00:19:31.300 Oh, child in danger.
00:19:32.460 Yes, child in danger.
00:19:33.720 Get your child.
00:19:35.580 She brought her kid to a federal ice.
00:19:40.740 Wonderful.
00:19:41.300 I'm very glad for it.
00:19:42.160 Get your child out of here.
00:19:42.960 I can be right here.
00:19:44.300 I'm happy right here.
00:19:45.700 Yeah, I will.
00:19:46.180 Enterprise, no car seat.
00:19:47.000 Okay?
00:19:47.360 Give me a favor.
00:19:48.360 You can video save all you like, but you have to stay.
00:19:50.460 You cannot come past that driveway.
00:19:51.600 But I think when a leftist says that this can happen to anyone, the person who says that
00:19:57.260 is too, both showing the immense privilege they must have lived with and grown up with
00:20:01.460 to think that you can hit a police officer with your car and not face ramifications while
00:20:07.520 trying to escape, right?
00:20:09.340 But then, or even just try to drive away from a police officer because you pulled over in
00:20:13.120 a way that could hit a police officer, but two, because she's clearly turning in the direction
00:20:17.620 of the police officer to get around, right?
00:20:19.300 Like, I would be terrified if that was me in his position.
00:20:22.040 But then, two, that you have dehumanized, or at least de, like, you see the police and ICE
00:20:27.800 as being so, like, antithetical to your goals.
00:20:32.420 These two organizations' goal is to uphold law and order in society.
00:20:36.320 Like, that's what this guy was doing.
00:20:37.580 What they were trying to arrest was Somali migrants, right?
00:20:42.220 Like, this was even specifically the migrant group that's running all these frauds.
00:20:46.340 Like, this is the migrant group that, like, pretty much everyone else in the United States,
00:20:50.540 all the other, like, I think that's what Trump needs to run on.
00:20:53.020 Like, forget the Latin American migrants.
00:20:54.800 You know, Latin American migrants don't want the Somalian migrants here.
00:20:57.380 Like, no, the Somalian migrants are, like, a problem for everyone.
00:20:59.660 I think that we are beginning to realize that we were a little spoiled.
00:21:04.480 And when I say we, I've always said this, to be complaining about Latin American immigrants.
00:21:09.540 Latin American immigrants are effing awesome compared to 98% of immigrants we could be getting flooded with.
00:21:18.480 If you're looking at the Somalian immigrant situation, I don't think, like, we want Nigerian immigrants.
00:21:24.960 We want Latin American immigrants, Polish immigrants, but Somalian immigrants, I don't know if there's anyone who's like, yeah, that's, that's great.
00:21:32.320 Like, can we just say, like, that this one category of immigrants, I don't think anyone wants.
00:21:37.940 Everyone's like, okay, but this specific.
00:21:39.720 But they're famous for being pirates.
00:21:42.360 I mean, like.
00:21:43.700 Seems to have created ethnic cartels around fraud, in autism, in daycares, in just everything, right?
00:21:51.400 And it is a group that is clearly not called, in having multiple wives, in an episode we talked to recently, and then pretending like they're unmarried and so they can get all this welfare money.
00:22:01.320 You know, and this is money that's not going to other people in our society who are genuinely in dire positions in their lives, right?
00:22:09.440 Like, the people who suffer are suffering more because of a community that is acting in a way that is just completely deleterious to our social order and systems, right?
00:22:21.060 So that's who she's attempting to protect.
00:22:24.220 But that, that when ICE attempts to enforce the law, when people are doing their job attempting to enforce the law, and there can be instances in which, and as I've said this before, where it makes sense to, like, if the laws are just, like, wildly unjust, to get in the way of the law being carried out, right?
00:22:40.960 Like, there are systems where things can just become so unjust, but I always get very annoyed when people are like, it never makes sense to take the law into your own hands.
00:22:48.920 And I'm like, so if your country went, like, full death camps and everything like that, you would do nothing.
00:22:54.000 You'd be like, I'm a guard at the camp.
00:22:55.900 Like, I will not, I will never.
00:22:58.040 Well, yeah, and that's certainly how people feel about the ICE arrests.
00:23:04.000 Right, but it is, and, and the, the reason they're able to feel this, and we've talked about this in other episodes, is if you look at, like, what Antifa says or what the left says, when they call over 50% of the voting public, because that's who voted for Trump, Nazis, which they will say.
00:23:18.020 Anyone who votes for Trump still stays a Nazi, they are attempting to dehumanize them so that they can carry out these acts without actually thinking about the political positions at play here, like, the wider systems of power, people being hurt, or anything like that as a result of all of this.
00:23:32.020 Which is, again, the, the most poor and vulnerable in our country that are hurt by just endless migrants that specifically are specializing in fraud, right?
00:23:43.120 But the point here being is, when they say that this could happen to anyone, they're, they, they assume that everyone sees the police the way they do, that everyone sees ICE the way they do, and that everyone has lived with their level of privilege throughout their life, that they genuinely hold no respect for these organizations.
00:24:01.220 And you see this in, like, the, you know, defund the police and everything like that, where when you go to black neighborhoods, they're like, no, we want, like, more police.
00:24:09.140 Like, what are you talking about? Like, you see this in the surveys pretty clearly.
00:24:12.220 This is a white-run movement, and it's because they and their neighborhoods do not need police.
00:24:18.360 Police are just, like, this othering thing to them, right, that are just, like, a weird outside, not part of their daily life.
00:24:25.560 So I think that all of that's really important. But now I want to talk a little bit about our life, because I find it weird that, like, we don't know anything.
00:24:29.640 Like, I'm just not.
00:24:30.580 Yeah, no one's talking about her.
00:24:32.520 So she was married. She had two kids. They got divorced. The husband got full custody.
00:24:40.160 They're staying really quiet.
00:24:41.060 Which is unusual.
00:24:42.460 It's unusual. It means that something, either she was being abusive or substance abuse issues, or it is incredibly rare for a woman to not get any custody.
00:24:52.400 Yeah, or she voluntarily gave up custody, which is also unusual. But yeah, that's, it is notable that that is the case.
00:25:00.400 Yeah. So then she remarries to another guy who was in the Air Force and died while serving, I believe, or died due to something else. Anyway, he died. He did another divorce.
00:25:09.960 And then she remarried who she's married to now, which was another woman. But what's actually uniquely effed up is, so the kid that she had was Air Force guy, right? The one who's sick?
00:25:22.580 Right. So that kid is not going to live with the woman she was married to, his other mom. He's going to live with the paternal grandparents.
00:25:32.580 Yeah, that probably is for the best.
00:25:34.980 Or the maternal grandparents, I guess.
00:25:36.300 Well, no, I mean, for the best or not for the best. I think what it shows is she was in a relationship with somebody who did not consider themselves the mother to her kid. Right? Like, that is...
00:25:48.340 Oh, in terms of estate planning.
00:25:50.400 Well, yeah. If I remarried somebody, like, suppose you died and I remarried somebody.
00:25:58.160 Well, there's a variety of reasons why this may have been the case. I mean, one is they probably are the more financially stable party. Also, like, boomers famously have way more money than the younger generations now.
00:26:10.720 It could also be that the new wife just never formally adopted this child, didn't want to formally adopt this child. And if this woman, who probably didn't expect to die, she was 37 years old, didn't have a will or any sort of trust documents, then I think it would make sense.
00:26:32.900 If she didn't have a will, the child would have gone to her spouse.
00:26:36.400 I don't know.
00:26:37.120 No, I don't know.
00:26:38.480 No, if you don't have a will, the child goes to your spouse. Like, that's weird. Like, that is... I think that you're right, that it shows that she chose to get in a relationship with somebody who didn't fully want to adopt the role of parent to her kid.
00:26:54.300 And I remember this when my parents were divorced, is my mom made it very, very clear to me that the number one criteria when she was dating was to find a good father for us.
00:27:05.760 Like, that is what she considered first and foremost. And I always assumed that that is the most important thing if you have kids when you're dating.
00:27:13.760 If you or I was to die, I'm sure you feel this way. I certainly feel this way.
00:27:19.900 The number one criteria I would be looking for in a new wife is somebody who would be a good mom to the kids and was excited about being a good mom to the kids.
00:27:28.240 There would be almost nothing else on my mind. And so, you know, she was in a community and culture where that wasn't the way that they viewed it.
00:27:36.240 And I think that this is actually normal on the extreme left, right?
00:27:40.000 The other thing about her that I think is really important is she was not an extremist from everything I can find.
00:27:46.440 She was just a normal leftist, which is, I think, she was a full-time poet. That's pretty unusual.
00:27:55.160 I think that you'd be surprised by how many leftists don't have jobs.
00:27:58.320 I mean, I mean, no one has jobs anymore.
00:28:01.160 No, you know, that's especially for women. So many women live off the system, but it's, it's, it's, it's a very common thing these days.
00:28:09.520 And it's something that you sort of need to do if you're going to be this type of full-time professional protester.
00:28:13.960 And so I, one, I want to look at like, obviously this is a tragedy and everything like that.
00:28:18.960 I'm not discounting that. And I do, I personally, now this is a second question.
00:28:24.020 Do I personally think that police or officers should have the ability to shoot down somebody who's fleeing a scene?
00:28:32.280 Now, note here, I'm not even saying if they put the officer's life at risk, which she may have, I'm just saying broadly, should they?
00:28:37.540 That is not the law right now, but I think it should be. Frankly, I, I do not like this idea.
00:28:42.640 If a police officer tells you to stop and you can clearly hear them and you are still running, I think, I don't, I don't see where you get a bunch of negative externalities by saying, okay, at that point, the police officer can shoot.
00:28:54.920 Because, and somebody was like, well, what? Like you, you would condone lethal force for that?
00:29:02.800 And it's like, yes, why would I condone lethal force for that? Right?
00:29:07.220 Because if as a society, we broadly know that police officers could shoot you from fleeing the scene of a crime, like running away when they have told you to stop.
00:29:14.420 And you know that everyone in society knows that, like that's something you would know pretty quickly in a society and you still logically decide it's worth it.
00:29:24.260 That means that you are an active threat to society because whatever you have done, whatever your fear of having that police officer catch you is, it is so big that you think it's worth dying over, which means it's probably worth killing over or something else that extreme.
00:29:40.620 Right. And in a society like that, um, I think that you, you, you have a, into a lot of these burglary, like we've talked about in New York, where it's the same burglary over and over and over again.
00:29:49.880 Yeah. Yeah. It's very small percentage of people who also it's, it's, you're teaching people as, as you're pointing out, basically a new system hack.
00:29:58.420 To not be afraid of police, to not be afraid of.
00:30:00.520 Oh, like if you don't want to get arrested, just drive away. There's, they can't do anything.
00:30:06.200 Just like, well, I'll shoplift and get arrested, but they're just going to let me go again. So I'll just keep doing it.
00:30:12.940 And that is a problem. And that's, that goes back to this recurring theme now, which just seems to be trending about broken systems being abused by people who are willing to abuse them.
00:30:23.080 And we're all trying to figure out what to do about that.
00:30:25.360 Well, I mean, here's, here's a broken system. You should not be able to stop, as, as we said, she would stalk ICE officers throughout the day and harass them and try to make their job harder.
00:30:34.840 If that is what you are doing was your days to somebody trying to carry out the law in a country, right?
00:30:41.080 Yeah. If you're actively, well, isn't there, I'm pretty sure that legally you're not allowed to harass people.
00:30:49.400 Well, I mean, what they do is, and they've got teams of lawyers to figure this out for them as they take it exactly as far as they legally can.
00:30:57.100 And this is the problem, right? The fact, in the same way that we normalized running away from convenience stores, and eventually that's going to end in people getting shot, right?
00:31:07.520 We normalized making your day job harassing, you know, law enforcement officers, right?
00:31:13.960 Like, that is something that we never should have normalized as society.
00:31:17.420 And that is something that, as an administration, I think they need to be, personally, I'd be just way more aggressive about.
00:31:24.060 If I was a Republican lawmaker right now, like if you had one and I was giving you advice, I would pass bills to make it so that there are very serious jail time for people who are harassing law enforcement officers.
00:31:36.040 I think it's kind of like that, that this, that is how these things often end up.
00:31:40.780 And I think whoever's astroturfing, supporting whatever, what this is on the left is not taking into account, unless they're actively trying to do harm to the very people that they're engaging with.
00:31:56.340 When these systems get pushed too far, what ends up happening is so much worse than the thing being protested at present.
00:32:03.120 Look at El Salvador, right?
00:32:05.020 They were a little too lax on crime enforcement, and then they just, like, mass arrested people.
00:32:12.500 Is that where we want to go?
00:32:14.300 Because things could get pushed to that.
00:32:17.620 And that's what I'm concerned about, too.
00:32:19.540 That would actually be a good episode, if you want, the luxury prisons of El Salvador.
00:32:23.500 Because the prison system is actually really nice and well sought through, even though it's painful.
00:32:27.060 There seems to be a bifurcation, and I do want to look into it more, because I've watched long YouTube videos that are tours of the El Salvadorian prisons that are just amazing.
00:32:37.400 They're teaching technical skills.
00:32:40.080 They are doing really good things.
00:32:42.820 And I think setting people up for success after they are released.
00:32:47.560 And yet, I don't know, in mainstream media, and this could just be due to bias, I hear these stories about people packed in, like, sardines and terrible conditions and all these other horrible things.
00:32:57.120 So I would like to look into that a little more.
00:32:58.820 But the broader thing is, similarly with what you see in other environmental scenarios, when things grow unchecked for too long, the correction is very violent.
00:33:12.160 When corrections are smaller and more regular, they are less violent.
00:33:18.060 You see this with earthquakes, for example.
00:33:20.640 If you have a lot of, you know, small earthquakes with a transverse fault or any other kind of fault, you're going to have smaller earthquakes and less damage done.
00:33:29.580 If a lot of kinetic pressure is built up over a long period of time, you're going to get a huge earthquake.
00:33:35.900 Same with a population of a bacteria or swamp moss or some animal growing in an environment without any check.
00:33:47.120 An invasive species will say it will grow and grow and grow, and you'll get what's called a J-curve in its population.
00:33:52.500 And then suddenly it will crash when it reaches critical mass and just has this massive dieout because the environment can no longer support it.
00:33:58.680 Just from a general how things work perspective, this getting too extreme without being corrected, without being subject to checks, is going to lead to very, very violent corrections.
00:34:11.040 So it's similar with economic market bubbles, right?
00:34:13.220 When they go out of control, the correction is equally painful.
00:34:17.200 I worry about this because we are entering a very strange period in which people seem to think that these really extreme actions are justified and allowed to be performed with impunity.
00:34:33.140 But keep in mind, this isn't the same state where we have the Somali daycare fraud and we have Tim Walls, who famously didn't bring in the National Guard to stop out-of-control protests.
00:34:45.120 So this isn't exactly new, but it's worrying.
00:34:51.460 Well, I think what you say here when you talk about the – it's my parable of the scorpion and the snake, and I told this to a German reporter.
00:34:59.800 And the parable of the scorpion and the snake goes like this.
00:35:02.580 I am an American looking at Germany right now.
00:35:04.900 And in Germany, there is a panda bear and a scorpion and a snake, okay?
00:35:08.440 And the scorpion and the snake are the Islamists and the white nationalists, okay?
00:35:16.640 Like the people who are like neo-Nazis in Germany and the Islamists in Germany, right?
00:35:21.120 Like the German nationalists.
00:35:22.620 So I talk to the reporter who's obviously a leftist, right?
00:35:25.700 And I say to them, I go, okay, so there are many Muslims in Germany who are acculturating to German culture, all right?
00:35:35.620 But you know and I know these Muslims have far fewer kids, right?
00:35:39.780 And they're like, yeah, they have far fewer kids.
00:35:41.480 And the ones who are not acculturating to Germany and actively hate your way of life have way more kids, right?
00:35:47.920 And everyone who's being sane is like, yes, that's happening, okay?
00:35:51.240 And people adopt their parents' beliefs disproportionately.
00:35:54.040 And then I'm like, and you've got a lot of white people in Germany, right?
00:35:56.800 A lot of Germans in Germany.
00:35:57.880 And of those Germans in Germany, a lot of them get along perfectly well with the Muslim population that's being mass imported.
00:36:04.820 And they're like, yes.
00:36:05.520 And I'm like, and that portion is having way fewer kids than the ones who want to violently extradite the Muslim population.
00:36:12.520 And they're like, yes, that is also true.
00:36:14.360 And I'm like, so you're a bit, we have this situation where the Scorpion or the neo-Nazis is saying, I want to deport all of these Muslims because if you leave us alone here with them, you know, we've done it in the past.
00:36:29.200 One of us is going to massacre the other group.
00:36:31.580 And the Muslims are like, oh, yeah, I plan to massacre this group.
00:36:33.880 Like, we will enforce a real law on them, right?
00:36:35.640 And then in the middle, you have a panda bear that's like, no, no, no, no, no, I can stop this.
00:36:40.840 Meanwhile, the panda bear is bringing over more Scorpions, right?
00:36:43.940 To the same level as the number of snakes, right?
00:36:47.080 And I'm like, but panda bear, you're constantly being stung and bitten.
00:36:51.020 Like, you're not going to be here forever.
00:36:52.520 Everyone knows that.
00:36:53.480 Even you know that.
00:36:55.620 So you are more responsible for what happens with the Scorpions and the snakes than the snakes are.
00:37:03.840 Because the snakes have already told me, I want to get all the Scorpions out of our country, right?
00:37:08.700 Like, they're like, if you do not get all the Scorpions out of the country, we're going to have to violently extract them, right?
00:37:14.320 Like, the snake is what a snake is.
00:37:16.760 The scorpion is what a scorpion is, right?
00:37:18.720 Like, their ideology is clear.
00:37:20.680 It is the snake that is proposing the least ideologically crazy thing right now, the least violent thing right now.
00:37:27.420 Because they stop the bloodshed when the panda dies if we take care of this while panda is still here.
00:37:33.380 But if the panda is gone and we allow the snakes to take care of this on their own, it is not going to be a pretty stung.
00:37:39.760 Because the snakes only want to deport them because killing them is politically unfavorable right now.
00:37:46.000 And you know that, and I know that, right?
00:37:49.400 And I think that in the United States, we have to be realistic about this too.
00:37:52.560 If there are groups coming in, and the people that are still having kids are eventually going to be at a point where we're just like, we don't want these groups in our country, right?
00:38:00.160 Like, the nicest way to handle this is to prevent them from immigrating in the first place.
00:38:05.840 And you do that through strict immigration enforcement and just making it unpalatable to immigrate here.
00:38:10.720 You make it extremely palatable to immigrate here if you make it very easy to set up family-based scams, which they've done in Minnesota for Somali migrants, right?
00:38:19.220 So I think that in a big way, as I've said, you know, it's a bit like somebody keeps letting homeless people in your house.
00:38:25.820 Like, your roommate is like, well, you know, when it was my turn, because you share.
00:38:29.440 One of you takes house management for a year, the other one takes house management the next year.
00:38:33.200 And one year, they just keep letting in homeless people.
00:38:35.480 And you're like, buddy, I'm going to have to kick all these homeless people out.
00:38:38.980 Like, you understand that, right?
00:38:41.140 And they're like, no.
00:38:42.620 And I've decided they're going to get a portion of your pay.
00:38:45.340 And you're like, but you know, I'm going to be in power again eventually, right?
00:38:48.520 It's not my fault when I'm in power again that when I tell the homeless people, okay, you guys have to leave.
00:38:54.360 And then they're like, no, I don't have to leave.
00:38:56.800 And then I have to call the cops on them.
00:38:58.600 And then they have to be violently dragged out.
00:39:00.400 And one of them gets injured.
00:39:01.200 And they go, look at you.
00:39:02.020 Because of you, that person got injured.
00:39:03.260 It's like, no, it's not because of me.
00:39:04.400 It's because of you.
00:39:04.920 Because you filled this out with homeless people.
00:39:06.140 You knew the result of this.
00:39:07.760 You knew what the result of your actions would be.
00:39:10.320 And you just didn't care.
00:39:12.140 Because in the moment, it made you look like a good guy.
00:39:16.560 Yeah.
00:39:18.300 Not good long-term thinking.
00:39:20.740 And that's what happened.
00:39:21.580 Well, no, they're aware of this.
00:39:22.660 They're aware of this long-term.
00:39:24.000 They don't care about long-term repercussions.
00:39:25.900 And this is a whole other conversation.
00:39:27.180 Because I remember I was talking with an extreme leftist reporter once.
00:39:29.580 And I was like, well, you can see that long-term what you're doing is going to cause more harm, right?
00:39:33.940 Like X, Y, and Z.
00:39:34.680 And they're like, you know, I just realized I don't, like I've never really, like just a moment of introspection, I've never really cared what the long-term consequences of a policy are.
00:39:42.020 I care about what the policy consequences are today, right?
00:39:45.300 And I think that that is downstream of a lot of leftist morality, ideology, and sort of metaphysical frameworks.
00:39:51.640 So the terrible thing being normalized here is thinking of, because when you think of law enforcement officers like they're a joke and the type of people that you can just drive away from in a way where you are turning into them while they're on their feet and you're in your car when they're trying to pull you over.
00:40:08.960 That is behavior that was normalized in a mindset that was normalized because of the ways that protesters have been treating ICE agents, which we never should have normalized.
00:40:24.520 Yeah.
00:40:25.640 I'd also note here the other thing that's been really weird.
00:40:28.360 Who are you going to say, Simone?
00:40:29.080 I just wonder if this woman who, I guess botched to martyr, could go and see the coverage of her death and the response to her death, would she still be loyal to her movement?
00:40:46.880 Yes, because I think that she too would see white women as inherently worth less than other groups and to feel uncomfortable was a white woman being seen as a martyr was in the movement.
00:41:00.940 They are constant, keep in mind, they are used to, whenever they get in one of their struggle groups or something like that, sublimating their own needs to whoever is winning that particular Olympics hierarchy.
00:41:10.900 You know, that particular, you know, so she's used to having to hold space for lesbian black women or whatever.
00:41:16.260 Okay. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. I just, I, I just felt so bad for her when I saw that, like, even her own side is like, I don't, I feel, but I guess, yeah, she would, she would be that woman if she were still alive and with someone else, I guess.
00:41:32.920 She would be saying that, I guess, per, per the, the average response of the people within this, this culture. And that's very sad.
00:41:40.980 It is sad. And I'm, I, I mean, I am increasingly glad that as, as this sort of timeline has gone on, if people know, when we started this channel, we were entirely apolitical.
00:41:52.860 When we started the movement, if anything, we, we leaned leftist, right? And that was not that long ago, right? And when we started the, the pronatalist movement, like this was like around COVID, we were, we were very centrist.
00:42:05.360 We do a spicy take here and there, but we were centrist, right? On the leftist side of things. And we have moved more and more to the right. And fairly early on, we took this position where, you know, we're just like, you know what, we're going to start identifying as Trump supporters, as MAGA, as, you know, and we are going to try to stand this ideology. Right.
00:42:26.040 And, and I do, we just, I mean, it was what aligned more with what we saw to be reasonable.
00:42:31.860 Right. Right. But I was like, we chose a side. Right. And early on, you, you've got to understand if you're coming from an environmental cultural background, which both of us are, if you're coming from like via taxi, I felt very uncomfortable because so often in my life, political movements have gone out and done crazy or evil things. Right.
00:42:49.720 Like I, you know, you, you, you couldn't really like growing up, if you wanted to like fully stand the conservative side or the leftist side, each one would do stupid things all the time. Right. And you'd be like, oh, like, do I really need to be defending this a-hole right now? You know?
00:43:06.460 And there have been very few instances where I have felt that way after we made the decision, like the rights who were going to back. I felt like, for example, if they had gone like anti-IVF, like Trump administration could have had, I would feel like, well, I, I really made a mistake. Right. Like that, that is directly against my interests and I am disappointed.
00:43:26.360 And I need to be like, I, I severely disagree with them. Or if they hadn't taken the immigration issue seriously, or if they, you know, there's, there's so many things, but, but I just haven't, you know, seen those, even something like the shooting. It's like, I understand it in context. Right. Like I, frankly, I'm not like mortified. And that's the way a lot of people are on the right. They're like, what was she thinking? Like that everybody knew that this is the type of thing that can get you killed.
00:43:50.840 Was it, was it legal? Was it right? All of those things, you know, but in the moment, do I understand how something like this could happen and how an officer could make a decision like that? Yeah, of course. Now, the reason why I say that is it's just, it's so weird and refreshing feeling to me is to just constantly be like, wow, I, I actually, because I thought I'd have to like swallow my, my position on a lot of things, you know, and I just haven't seen it. You know, I haven't seen.
00:44:16.780 You have no obligation to be loyal to any particular side.
00:44:21.560 Well, no, but you have an obligation to, when you support a movement to take responsibility, that movement acts in a way that you think is deleterious to society. Because if we had told, you know, we take a side and we're arguing and acting as, you know, sort of reporters with, you know, that bias. Right. And then that side wins and they do bad things. You know, you're partially responsible for that.
00:44:45.260 I always hate when people are like, well, you know, I don't always need to, you know, if he goes out and does something stupid tomorrow, I'm going to call him stupid. And I'm like, but if you told your followers to vote for him, then you're in part responsible for the stupid thing he does tomorrow.
00:44:57.520 Yeah, that's fair.
00:44:58.600 But like the Maduro thing, that was so effing cool. I was like, how do we handle this situation in Venezuela in a way that that's, and I think that they're handling it really appropriately and maturely, which is not something I expect. I'm like, this is, this is good. Watch our video on that. If you want to, if you want to get a full breakdown on ourselves on that.
00:45:14.680 And love you, Simone. I love that now there is a conspiracy that we are a family of dark magic wielding vampires. That is everything I ever wanted from life.
00:45:27.060 Life is good.
00:45:27.680 I love that man so much. I love people who are like, Malcolm, you're going to be mad about this. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
00:45:33.080 So that is because, and I think one of the commenters pointed it out really well when they were trying to explain why he was saying that stuff about.
00:45:40.440 Why Kurt Metzger had crazy conspiracy theories about you on the Joe Rogan podcast last week.
00:45:45.460 Yeah. Why, why, why he did number one podcast in the world is they said, this guy is fundamentally a leftist who has infiltrated right-wing spaces.
00:45:54.740 And he is trying to undermine the right-wing coalition because I put it out. I'm like, why is he attacking me for not being the right kind of Christian when he's not a Christian?
00:46:05.320 Right. Like when he's like, oh, their Christianity is weird. And, and, and people are like, oh, he's doing that because he doesn't like that on the right now we are seeing an alliance of Mormons and Orthodox Jews and weird religious people like us.
00:46:21.580 And we're all just like, yeah, I don't care that they're different from us. You know, you know, like we have, we have differences and we'll argue about them and we'll debate them and we'll make jokes at each other.
00:46:30.360 But the jokes are more like the jokes that like a diverse friend group would make, like the racist jokes you make when you're hanging out with your like group that's like got the black guy and the Asian guy and everything like that.
00:46:39.480 And everyone's always being racist. They, they are not like the, the, the, he's, he's trying to drive that wedge in people's minds. And unfortunately I think it's pretty unsuccessful and it just makes us look cooler.
00:46:52.480 It's pretty cool. I'm not going to disagree with you. I was entertained. I hope everyone else was too.
00:47:00.360 But not even being, you know, he doesn't even call us any type of vampires. Like we're not like lame vampires, like Twilight vampires. We are dark shadows.
00:47:07.480 Don't you ever insult sparkles? Sparkles are wonderful.
00:47:11.280 Dark shadows vampires are the, because, because if you're familiar with the dark shadows, you know, they didn't actually do anything wrong.
00:47:18.360 Like they didn't like create an alliance with the devil or anything like that.
00:47:21.240 They were cursed by somebody who was evil or witch, like a dark magic practitioner.
00:47:26.400 And that's where they come from. And they are like the main one is a really like studious family guy. Right.
00:47:33.160 And that's the one who the Collins one, right. You know, that's who we're accused of being.
00:47:36.220 I'm like, okay, good, good. That's the, the family man, vampire.
00:47:40.960 Anyway, love you.
00:47:42.860 The family values, vampire family, family values, vampire.
00:47:46.320 That's what we are. Vampire man, that sexy vampire lady.
00:47:51.220 You know, you should have stayed and fought that sexy vampire lady.
00:47:56.460 I got to put the scene for a minute.
00:47:57.340 Not an energy vampire, not a sparkly vampire, not a trashy New Orleans vampire.
00:48:06.320 The trashy New Orleans vampire is a thing though. You, you, you called that one.
00:48:14.160 You, you never watched True Blood. I, I, it's pretty decent.
00:48:18.580 But yeah, I'm actually, and then there's, I think the new interview with the vampire reboot series also takes place in New Orleans.
00:48:25.040 There, there have not been hot vampire things in a while.
00:48:28.200 I'm just going to put it out.
00:48:29.420 Except I think the new interview with the vampire series, they just made them gay.
00:48:34.540 So, the, look, and this is the problem, right?
00:48:38.960 Like, vampires used to be hot.
00:48:41.040 Like, vampires, what, what?
00:48:43.280 Well, women love yaoi.
00:48:45.100 Don't, don't, don't you even come for yaoi.
00:48:48.000 Yeah, okay.
00:48:50.000 Vampires are pretty.
00:48:50.960 Women like vampires.
00:48:51.920 Women like yaoi.
00:48:52.720 I, I don't think that they made a poor strategic decision.
00:48:55.480 I don't think that was a, put a chicken in it and make her gay and lame.
00:48:58.940 That was a, women like vampires.
00:49:02.840 Women like yaoi.
00:49:04.540 Let's make some money, okay?
00:49:06.600 I think it's, I think it's fine.
00:49:08.440 I think we need to differentiate between gayness on TV that's fan service versus gayness that's DEI, if that makes sense.
00:49:16.800 You know what I mean?
00:49:17.660 That's a really good, that's a, there's not a bunch of lesbians in male porn because of DEI.
00:49:22.380 Let me tell you that.
00:49:23.180 Yeah.
00:49:23.520 Yes.
00:49:24.180 Yes.
00:49:24.520 That's a good way to put it.
00:49:26.560 It's like somebody goes to Pornhub and they're like, this site is so DEI.
00:49:30.340 Look at all the lesbians.
00:49:33.280 Old play, but what, what DEI nonsense is this?
00:49:36.780 Yeah.
00:49:37.780 Yeah.
00:49:37.920 Are you going to say it's okay if our daughters have yaoi porn?
00:49:42.200 Not, no, no, manga, manga.
00:49:43.860 Like they have, they read the, because women don't even read it in porn form.
00:49:46.560 It's like, you know, they walk around and say women carry their porn around.
00:49:49.980 Yeah.
00:49:50.380 I mean, I, I feel like I am one of the more sexually innocent people out in the world.
00:49:57.220 And I absolutely had yaoi manga falling out of my backpack in high school.
00:50:03.640 I don't see the problem here.
00:50:06.200 We got it.
00:50:07.020 We, I, I, I actually think that's totally okay, by the way.
00:50:09.360 We will do separate episodes.
00:50:10.480 It's super cute.
00:50:11.860 I would have like, and then like, I'll think the yaoi, I mean that yaoi anime with the ice
00:50:15.960 kidders, that was originally manga, wasn't it?
00:50:18.780 Well, yeah.
00:50:19.240 And separating arousal from, you know, reproduction was another thing I wanted to do a full episode
00:50:26.860 on at some point, which is like, you should think of sex as like, I want to impregnate
00:50:30.220 that person.
00:50:31.000 Like, that's the point.
00:50:31.840 I think we did this episode.
00:50:32.780 Didn't you?
00:50:33.400 I think we did this episode.
00:50:33.940 No, we never did the episode and I want to do it because it's something I feel very strongly
00:50:36.900 about.
00:50:37.260 It's like.
00:50:37.440 Yeah, no, I think that's very important.
00:50:39.200 Is, is, is this is a desire that you feel in evolutionary context because of impregnation.
00:50:43.040 And when you change the word, she's hot to, I want to impregnate her or that's
00:50:47.960 hot to, I want to impregnate that you can quickly realize, oh, this is just an arousal
00:50:54.240 pathway, you know, doing its own thing.
00:50:56.520 And I can engage with that for entertainment, but that's not really what it's for.
00:51:00.260 Right.
00:51:00.740 Because the moment you say that about like a furry or something like that, you're like,
00:51:04.120 oh, I can't impregnate that.
00:51:06.440 Or you say that about a cartoon character.
00:51:09.600 I can't impregnate that.
00:51:11.460 Therefore, this is a system not operating as it's meant to.
00:51:14.460 And it should be considered wholly recreational within this context.
00:51:17.940 No, whether it's like a video game or something.
00:51:19.440 And that makes it easier to sort of sublimate and move to the top.
00:51:22.180 Yeah, this might, I'm, I'm, I'm working on an episode outline on, on peacocking that
00:51:26.980 might work well with that.
00:51:28.280 So we'll see.
00:51:29.460 Okay.
00:51:29.800 All right.
00:51:30.340 Good.
00:51:30.600 I love you.
00:51:33.240 Okay.
00:51:33.780 Your mic isn't on.
00:51:38.900 But did you catch that?
00:51:41.780 That Alexa has tone?
00:51:44.200 Can you hear me?
00:51:45.720 Now I can.
00:51:47.380 Yeah, I did.
00:51:47.840 I thought that was interesting.
00:51:48.720 I didn't like it.
00:51:50.020 You didn't?
00:51:50.720 It seemed very inauthentic.
00:51:54.320 And it made you seem inauthentic because it was your interpretation, her interpretation
00:51:58.880 of your words.
00:52:00.020 Also, I don't understand why Alexa, so keep in mind what the app is doing.
00:52:05.320 It is translating what you are saying into text, then re-putting it out as audio.
00:52:12.360 Why not just put out what you said?
00:52:17.340 I don't know.
00:52:18.280 Because when our kids say stuff, it makes it hilarious because a woman is saying it
00:52:23.740 instead.
00:52:24.920 Well, I'm going to try to get the site update done tonight.
00:52:27.380 Daddy, poop, poop, daddy, daddy.
00:52:29.260 System overhaul for stability to get it so much more stable, which I'm really excited
00:52:33.740 about for ArtFab.io.
00:52:35.900 Because I've been really annoyed with some stability issues on safe stuff.
00:52:40.920 Anyway, I love the reaction to the Joe Rogan episode.
00:52:45.600 That was hilarious.
00:52:46.460 I love that that happened.
00:52:47.700 It's such a crazy thing.
00:52:49.720 That is the biggest gift.
00:52:50.860 If you could go back to me in the past and you're like, Malcolm, the number one podcast
00:52:55.060 in the world has the conspiracy that you run the Illuminati and are either a vampire or
00:53:04.840 practice dark magic.
00:53:06.340 Why not both?
00:53:07.400 And I'd be like, that is the coolest timeline.
00:53:11.860 That timeline must be awesome, right?
00:53:14.100 Like that is, and I'd honestly say, like in a lot of ways, we are in a really cool timeline
00:53:18.640 right now.
00:53:19.080 Like just the stuff that's happening.
00:53:20.520 In a lot of ways, you act as though this isn't the coolest timeline beyond even our wildest
00:53:25.500 imagination.
00:53:26.420 I agree.
00:53:26.880 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:53:27.400 I mean, AI, as I've said to people, literally, if we as a species discovered magic over the
00:53:33.220 course of my lifetime, it would have less impact on people's daily life than the discovery
00:53:37.600 of AI is going to.
00:53:38.960 Yeah.
00:53:39.020 Like, like literally, I would rather live in this timeline as like an agentic person
00:53:44.080 than live in the magic discovery timeline as somebody who's uniquely attuned to magic.
00:53:48.780 Yeah.
00:53:49.760 You know, that is, that is what it is to be uniquely attuned to magic in the AI timeline,
00:53:54.280 just being an agentic person.
00:53:55.800 Yeah.
00:53:56.540 Yeah.
00:53:56.780 It's not like Harry Potter gets to go to Mars.
00:53:59.780 Right.
00:54:00.320 I honestly have zero interest in going into space.
00:54:03.520 I am, I'm, I'm delighted for humanity to take to the stars, but.
00:54:07.120 I mean, we have to spread, we have to spread, we have to conquer the solar system.
00:54:11.980 Yeah.
00:54:12.260 No, I mean, we'll take our manifest destiny in the stars.
00:54:14.600 And I was just talking with Octavian about it today.
00:54:16.520 I'm like, no, you should obviously want to go into space.
00:54:18.880 Cause he was like, I don't feel like going into space.
00:54:20.880 And I'm like, wrong, wrong answer.
00:54:24.080 Well, you know what we might actually end up having as a species, especially if birth rates
00:54:30.300 stay low.
00:54:31.040 And oh my God, this could be a whole other episode, which is really interesting.
00:54:33.500 Of the concept is what human interstellar colonization may look like.
00:54:38.700 If it turns out that you just like, there's not many high fertility groups out there and
00:54:42.940 we end up stabilizing fertility rates and the technologically competent groups.
00:54:46.180 And the rest of the groups, we basically treat like they're in a zoo, which is sort of the
00:54:49.540 way we already treat like the Amish and, and, and some like tribes that are also how it's
00:54:55.040 framed in Aldous Huxley's brave new world.
00:54:57.520 But the human interstellar colonization is completely done by AI for the service of sending
00:55:06.220 minerals and resources and energy back to the home planet.
00:55:09.840 So, you know, we may have a giant interstellar empire one day, but the entire biological human
00:55:15.300 population lived on earth in extreme luxury, which would be, I do think that that's increasingly
00:55:22.280 possible.
00:55:22.860 And that'd be such a weird, it's a much easier future.
00:55:26.520 I mean, space travel is much easier on AI than it is on organic life.
00:55:29.920 Like space travel is actually really hard on organic life for a number of reasons.
00:55:34.540 I mean, we're not really built for it.
00:55:35.900 You'd need to genetically modify humans for long-term space travel.
00:55:39.860 You'd basically need to create one, an entirely new subspecies of humanity for...
00:55:46.120 And you don't mean inferior by sub, you just mean a different category.
00:55:49.840 Yeah, different category that was specifically specialized for space travel, i.e. being hit
00:55:55.660 by your occasional, you know, I forget what it is.
00:55:58.400 One of those particles, yeah, the bad stuff.
00:56:01.220 The bad stuff, you know, dealing with the radiation, dealing with the organs and stuff
00:56:07.280 like that, that work in zero G and everything like that.
00:56:09.800 Yeah.
00:56:10.060 And then for every planet that we colonized, you'd likely need a new subspecies of humans
00:56:15.820 to be designed for that planet.
00:56:18.200 This is in part why I, like when people get overly focused on like race is like a long-term
00:56:25.680 thing.
00:56:26.100 I'm like, it's just not going to matter.
00:56:27.540 Right.
00:56:27.700 Like, or when they're like, we'll never genetically...
00:56:30.260 People are going to look back at that and be like, wait, what?
00:56:35.140 Good.
00:56:35.760 I like you obviously will genetically engineer humans.
00:56:38.580 No, no.
00:56:38.980 They're going to see us all as just like this, this one super constrained, cohesive thing.
00:56:44.680 Like the fact that it would be as though, I think they're going to look at it the same
00:56:48.620 way.
00:56:49.160 Like we would look at eye color differentiation.
00:56:52.700 Why would you care that he has blue eyes and you have green eyes?
00:56:56.240 Why does that matter?
00:56:57.360 No, no.
00:56:57.760 I mean, I think that this is where it gets more crazy is, you know, if you're like, oh,
00:57:03.040 I think that like my ethnic group is historically better than like X other ethnic group.
00:57:07.780 Right.
00:57:08.080 Yeah.
00:57:08.340 But it has to do more with historical affiliation.
00:57:10.800 But you would agree.
00:57:12.120 So like, let's say you're a white person or an Asian, right?
00:57:14.560 Like what if you could take, you know, some African genes and then use them like genes
00:57:21.220 that are unique to African populations and use them to get some advantage, like even within
00:57:25.180 your life.
00:57:25.560 Like I'm not talking about intergenerational.
00:57:27.100 I'm like, you can just genetically augment yourself.
00:57:28.800 Right.
00:57:29.020 Like we get to the point where you can do that.
00:57:30.640 And somebody might be like, well, you know, I would never do that.
00:57:33.480 And it's like, well, what, what about Asian or white guy?
00:57:36.220 What about genes for height?
00:57:37.140 You know, what about genes for running faster?
00:57:40.060 What about genes for running longer?
00:57:41.420 What about, I mean, then they're like, okay, you know, maybe those genes.
00:57:44.920 And once you realize that in the future, you can genetically augment living adults, you're
00:57:49.280 going to have the idea of like one ethnic, you're just going to have, everybody knows this
00:57:55.100 genetic cluster is better for this type of outcome.
00:57:58.700 And so you're going to have people optimizing around outcomes like creativity or mathematical
00:58:03.500 intelligence or pure intelligence instead of, or at least the people from the populations
00:58:09.160 that are engaging with this technology, the populations that control science and the economy.
00:58:14.000 Anyway, I'll get started on this.
00:58:16.140 Okay.
00:58:16.640 Let me start feeding him just so he's not angry or hangry.
00:58:22.000 Okay.
00:58:23.200 Go for it.
00:58:24.460 Hello, Simone.
00:58:25.800 I am excited.
00:58:27.020 Wait, sorry.
00:58:27.740 Wait, wait.
00:58:28.500 You have to read it up.
00:58:30.260 I have to do this when he's not.
00:58:31.700 Just give me a moment for, to see if he's settled.
00:58:34.140 Okay.
00:58:34.420 Okay, go for it.
00:58:44.440 All right, Octavian, point to the first thing you wanted to take over.
00:58:50.420 This, I'm this, I'm this.
00:58:51.920 So Greenland and then Iceland.
00:58:55.240 Okay.
00:58:57.360 Why do you want to take over Greenland?
00:58:59.380 Oh.
00:59:01.940 Because that's the easiest.
00:59:03.580 That's the easiest one.
00:59:06.020 Yeah, yeah, I'm going to go easy for the troops and the civilians.
00:59:11.300 And then hard for the troops and civilians.
00:59:14.200 So you think Greenland is going to be the easy one?
00:59:16.040 This enormous one.
00:59:18.540 You see, this enormous one?
00:59:20.740 Wait, so you're going for Russia next?
00:59:23.380 Yeah.
00:59:23.580 Or is that China?
00:59:24.580 Which, hold on.
00:59:25.880 Wait.
00:59:26.460 Which are you going to do?
00:59:28.060 Look right here.
00:59:28.760 The word's right there.
00:59:29.900 Go with it.
00:59:31.380 That's, that's China.
00:59:33.580 China.
00:59:34.180 I'm taking over China.
00:59:36.420 And the country here and...
00:59:38.680 That's a lot of countries.
00:59:40.240 That's a continent.
00:59:41.180 Yeah, I'm going to take a lot of countries in the world.
00:59:44.300 Oh, no.
00:59:44.620 Oh, boy.
00:59:46.020 Yeah, so we don't have to worry about getting attacked by other countries and die area.
00:59:51.100 Tex isn't so sure about this.
00:59:54.580 Tex is concerned.
00:59:56.880 Tex is concerned, but...
00:59:58.960 You can do it, buddy.
01:00:00.040 I mean, you are Octavian, after all.
01:00:02.720 Yeah.
01:00:03.020 I mean, you can do it again.
01:00:05.880 Two of us should be mad.
01:00:06.420 I just want to do it.
01:00:08.120 We don't need it again, buddy.
01:00:10.180 Yeah.
01:00:10.360 We don't need it.
01:00:10.740 We don't need it yet.
01:00:11.640 And we're going to have to have to make people's exist on a page.
01:00:15.980 것처럼 come over here.
01:00:16.800 All the rest of us should be not to resist our Flipgrid Twitch channel.
01:00:19.300 So let's start writing.
01:00:19.980 Mr.
