Based Camp - Jimmy Kimmel Fired For Lying： Why This Terrifies the Left

00:00:00.000 was Kimmel himself hinting in a 2024 LA Times interview, quote,

00:00:04.340 I think this is my final contract.

00:00:06.360 That seems like enough, end quote.

00:00:08.700 Jimmy Kimmel was saying his contract wasn't going to be renewed.

00:00:12.500 When Alex Jones gets fired for Sandy Hook,

00:00:15.180 very few mainstream conservative commentators were like,

00:00:18.180 oh, they're silencing free speech.

00:00:19.880 The Tonight Show, with Conan O'Brien, was canceled at around 1.4.

00:00:25.360 So at higher ratings than his show was canceled.

00:00:27.920 The American Hall Show was canceled at 1.6.

00:00:31.380 Again, much higher than his show when it was canceled.

00:00:34.000 Your depiction of this as the network taking an opportunity

00:00:37.600 to less expensively end a contract that was going to end inevitably

00:00:44.040 makes a lot of sense.

00:00:47.560 Why does the left even think they have a right to be mad about this?

00:00:50.920 Would you like to know more?

00:00:52.280 Hello, Simone. I'm excited to be here with you today.

00:00:55.020 A lot of people have been talking about free speech in regards to Jimmy Kimmel

00:01:00.660 having his show canceled after, I will note, it wasn't that he disparaged somebody.

00:01:07.820 He just lied.

00:01:09.740 Like, what he said wasn't even like a normal lie.

00:01:12.840 It was like the antithesis of what is true.

00:01:15.780 I'll play the clip right here for people who aren't familiar with it before we go further.

00:01:18.960 The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk

00:01:24.460 as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.

00:01:29.740 The gist is, is he insinuated that the shooter who killed Charlie Kirk was a Republican,

00:01:38.960 was like a MAGA guy.

00:01:40.180 Like, yeah, he used the term MAGA.

00:01:42.100 A far right Republican.

00:01:43.560 And that that's funny because, you know, MAGA is killing MAGA and they don't realize it or won't talk about it.

00:01:50.200 Well, that MAGA is trying to pin it on their political opposition.

00:01:54.160 And he's basically saying they're shooting their own.

00:01:57.000 Isn't that funny?

00:01:57.500 Yeah, which is, I mean, it's, it's, it's not like a, like,

00:02:01.740 he may not have been aware of the evidence or something like this.

00:02:04.860 This is one of the things that is just patently not true.

00:02:10.640 And part of this whole conversation is before I get into,

00:02:13.200 he wasn't canceled for the reasons that people are saying, first of all,

00:02:16.140 and I'm going to go into the data on this.

00:02:17.360 That'll be the first thing we go into.

00:02:18.860 But the, the other thing that's really important to note here is,

00:02:23.300 and go into is why does the left even think they have a right to be mad about this?

00:02:27.160 Like, his role was as a newscaster comedian, which is basically our role as well,

00:02:35.340 except he's working for a major station, like a private company, right?

00:02:39.040 He says something in his role as a newscaster comedian,

00:02:43.940 which was the antithesis of true,

00:02:47.360 which was literally made to get people to believe the opposite of what was true

00:02:51.760 on a very sensitive topic, which is obviously like going viral and doing the rounds.

00:02:59.580 And so the company that hired him fired him.

00:03:04.280 Well, the show's suspended, right?

00:03:05.780 Is he fired?

00:03:07.140 I don't think he's fired.

00:03:07.980 It doesn't, it doesn't matter.

00:03:08.820 The point being is that you should be fired.

00:03:12.800 If you are a newscaster for saying something about like a,

00:03:17.720 a mainstream important topic, that's just factually untrue.

00:03:22.720 And to be fair, there is a,

00:03:25.540 there are many examples of journalists, reporters, et cetera,

00:03:30.540 who have been suspended or fired for reporting inaccuracies.

00:03:34.960 This is a great example.

00:03:37.120 When Alex Jones gets fired for saying Sandy Hook is fake,

00:03:40.320 very few mainstream conservative commentators were like,

00:03:43.500 oh, they're silencing free speech or anything like that.

00:03:46.420 You know, very few, we,

00:03:47.640 we certainly have never argued that Alex Jones shouldn't have faced a lawsuit for that

00:03:52.520 or faced being pulled from air for that.

00:03:54.960 That was something that was factually untrue and very easy to check that it was factually untrue.

00:04:01.200 In fact, in many ways,

00:04:03.280 I think what Alex Jones did was less bad than what, what Jimmy Kimmel did.

00:04:08.100 Because at least Alex Jones engaged with the argument and tried to explain why he believed it was fake.

00:04:15.360 Whereas Jimmy Kimmel just stated something that was patently false about somebody who was raped.

00:04:21.680 Now I'll note here,

00:04:22.660 the way that what Alex Jones did was worse than what Jimmy Kimmel did is he turned the regular civilians who had lost their loved ones into victims.

00:04:30.140 Whereas Jimmy Kimmel did not do that.

00:04:33.420 But I'm talking about just in terms of somebody whose job is telling news said something that they knew was wrong.

00:04:41.200 And if you can be like, oh, Alex Jones didn't know this.

00:04:43.080 We know from the court documents that Alex Jones didn't believe this.

00:04:45.920 Like there's been internal leaks.

00:04:47.640 Well, there are also just general other,

00:04:49.680 even political kind of related falsehoods that people have been,

00:04:53.420 we'll say like suspended or censored in some way.

00:04:56.180 Like some Fox news presenters promoted false claims about the 2020 U.S. election and Dominion voting systems.

00:05:02.300 And they, that, that led to lawsuits and other things.

00:05:07.600 And some, some of them were suspended, some were not, but that's another example of them.

00:05:12.840 A bunch of people have been pulled for just other non-political inaccuracies like Brian Williams.

00:05:20.660 He was a really big person for NBC Nightly News in 2015, was suspended.

00:05:26.120 And later his anchor role was just totally removed after he exaggerated stories about being under fire during the Iraq war.

00:05:32.280 So that was just telling a lie about himself.

00:05:34.700 So there, there are lots of people who have been suspended for things.

00:05:38.660 People have been suspended for false Michael Flynn reports, false Kobe Bryant reporting.

00:05:44.540 You know, when he, when he was killed, Matt Guttman of ABC News was suspended for saying that all of the kids died in the plane crash when it was just his daughter.

00:05:53.240 So even just like little, little things.

00:05:55.440 And, and some.

00:05:56.320 The point is, is it is normal to fire a newscaster for lying.

00:06:00.800 For plagiarism, for ethics issues, for lying, for inaccurate reporting, like all of these things.

00:06:06.180 Why is it?

00:06:06.700 I think the bigger story here is why is it that progressives think that this is a bad thing?

00:06:11.060 Like.

00:06:11.240 Oh, and don't forget all the COVID stuff.

00:06:12.920 Sorry, I just wanted to point that out.

00:06:15.300 When, when people were seen as, as, as reporting misleadingly on COVID stuff, they got fired and suspended all the time.

00:06:20.940 Yeah.

00:06:21.220 But the, the question here I'm saying is why do they think that they can say we are canceling free speech when some, a newscaster is being fired for lying?

00:06:30.240 Like, why do they think that this is something that somebody shouldn't be fired for?

00:06:35.020 Why do they think that they have a position to throw a stink here?

00:06:37.660 And I think that this actually tells us more about the current progressive mindset and philosophy than the, the, anything else around this.

00:06:45.840 Before I go further, I want to go into why he was actually fired because this is.

00:06:49.200 Suspended.

00:06:49.220 So people on the right have talked about this, but they really haven't gone into the data.

00:06:54.540 And I think when you go into the data, you're just like, this is a completely silly situation to be up in arms about.

00:07:00.580 Okay.

00:07:00.800 Um, so in August 26, 2025, Yahoo entertainment.

00:07:04.820 So this is before he said, this is before the Trump stuff.

00:07:08.400 Our article reported insider speculation tied to shifting late night landscape post Stephen Colbert's cancellation announcement.

00:07:15.640 A key quote, quote, Jimmy is determined to quit late night before he's axed in quote confides insider.

00:07:23.280 The context highlights that he was planning to be fired that year.

00:07:27.580 Oh, Jimmy Kimmel thought before this, that he was going to be fired this year.

00:07:35.460 Let's keep going.

00:07:37.340 A July 23rd, 2025 people magazines piece discussed Trump's claims that Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon would soon be ousted analyzing their contracts.

00:07:46.420 It noted Kimmel's deal expires at the end of 2025 to 2026 season was Kimmel himself hinting in a 2024 LA times interview.

00:07:54.700 Quote, I think this is my final contract.

00:07:56.960 Quote, that seems like enough in quote, Jimmy Kimmel was saying his contract wasn't going to be renewed.

00:08:03.000 Now, what's important to note about these contracts, and we'll get into this a little bit more later, is most of them have a clause that if the person embarrasses the company publicly, they can cancel the contract without having to pay a firing fee.

00:08:16.720 But if they don't, then they have to pay out a bunch of money.

00:08:19.660 Oh, there's a very clear economic reason for why things happen the way they happen.

00:08:24.660 Let's keep going here.

00:08:25.620 Oh, cha-ching. 0.99

00:08:27.260 July 24th, 2025 coming soon dot net guide explored why fans and sources believed the show was going to be canceled.

00:08:34.800 So there's articles out there analyzing why everyone thought he was going to be canceled.

00:08:41.120 And they say, quote, the word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is next to go at late night sweepstakes, end quote.

00:08:47.940 And this was a Trump quote, by the way, that they were quoting.

00:08:51.040 So he knew what was up.

00:08:52.680 But now I want to talk ratings because we're going to do a quick comparison of this show's ratings.

00:08:57.200 And I'll put on screen here the falling ratings of not just this show, but across late night TV.

00:09:01.500 So you can give an idea of just how dramatic the fall has been.

00:09:04.560 Because I think a lot of people don't realize how dramatic the fall has been.

00:09:07.960 Total viewers, P2+.

00:09:10.060 The show's highest seasonal average with around 2.4 million, and that was back in 2015, was peaks of 2.2 million.

00:09:16.860 With some episodes growing over 3 million, but averages hovered around 2.1 to 2.4.

00:09:21.100 In the adults 18 to 49 demo, which is the one that advertisers care about, it was nearly a million viewers back in 2015.

00:09:28.800 Now, if you go more recently, by August 2025, the monthly average had fallen to 1.104.

00:09:37.340 So down almost 50%.

00:09:40.740 And if you look at the key demo, they were down, I think it was around 78 to 75%, the 18 to 49 demo.

00:09:50.820 So that's where the advertisers are.

00:09:52.660 So this makes sense because, I mean, why watch late night when you can watch Asmongold or someone who's more politically interesting to you, who has better takes, honestly, and is more prolific.

00:10:03.940 And I want to talk about, as a former fan of late night, right?

00:10:06.980 But before I get into, like, being a former fan of late night, I just think it's useful, before we go into this tangent, to go over when other shows were canceled.

00:10:14.940 Okay?

00:10:15.740 So remember, he had fallen 74% in the key demographic, 43% in the general demographic, and was getting around 1 million views per show.

00:10:23.820 Okay?

00:10:24.400 So the Tonight Show, with Conan O'Brien, was canceled at around 1.4.

00:10:30.440 So at higher ratings than his show was canceled.

00:10:33.400 Wow.

00:10:33.920 But it had fallen by about 63%.

00:10:35.140 The American Hall show was canceled at 1.6.

00:10:38.800 Again, much higher than his show when it was canceled, fallen 47%.

00:10:42.680 So around the percent his show had fallen.

00:10:45.000 The Jay Leno show was canceled at 1.4.

00:10:47.480 Again, higher than his show, but it had fallen 73%.

00:10:51.620 Later was Bob Costas and Greg Kenner at around 1, but it had only fallen 33%.

00:10:58.800 So this is the only one in this list so far that was below his when it was canceled.

00:11:03.880 So I just, let's go to Jimmy.

00:11:05.760 Oh, Jimmy Kimmel did horribly when he was canceled.

00:11:08.180 He had fallen to 0.16 and had fallen 76%.

00:11:12.040 So the shows in that table had fallen to lower than his show when he was canceled.

00:11:17.220 He was below the range that you're normally at when you're canceled.

00:11:21.740 Yeah.

00:11:22.460 Wow.

00:11:23.340 Yeah, it's almost as though they were holding on because they realized that this is no longer a viable format anyway.

00:11:28.440 And they maybe just wanted the legacy to last a little longer.

00:11:32.820 But this is clearly, this was not long for the world, this show.

00:11:36.800 Yeah.

00:11:37.480 By the way, if you want to talk about contracts, suspending the show indefinitely could invoke clauses related to public interest or reputational harm,

00:11:45.380 potentially allowing ABZ to avoid breach contract penalties.

00:11:49.520 Nice.

00:11:50.220 Kimmel is reportedly effing livid, but no lawsuits are happening.

00:11:54.280 But why, why did he think he could just lie and nobody would care?

00:11:58.840 Because that's been the way in late night media for a long time.

00:12:02.740 I mean, there's been skewed representations of reality through late night media frequently.

00:12:08.840 I remember even in like the old, I think Jon Stewart and Colbert Report shows, they would misrepresent some interviews, kind of like cut them in weird ways.

00:12:20.880 Oh, yeah, they would, they would.

00:12:23.540 Yeah.

00:12:23.900 I guess he just thought it was like industry practice and he's getting lazy now, so he's not trying to cut up funny interviews.

00:12:29.060 I mean, I think it's, it's one of those things where people break the rules and you're only going to get prosecuted for it when someone has to, who's going to benefit from prosecuting for it.

00:12:38.560 Like when the news networks made a lot of money from those misrepresentations and faced no liability, keep it because it's good for them.

00:12:46.960 In this case, the Trump administration is clearly saying that they're going to crack down on behavior like this.

00:12:52.900 Plus, it doesn't seem to be doing them any favors.

00:12:55.820 I want to go over the cracking down on behavior that the Trump administration has talked about and everything like that.

00:13:00.300 Okay.

00:13:00.500 Because it's not often what people think.

00:13:02.660 It's, it's more just these people are going to be fired while there's been some stuff of like FCC.

00:13:08.080 Right.

00:13:08.660 But yeah, but there still have been very prominent people in the Trump administration saying really clearly threatening this kind of behavior.

00:13:18.440 Right.

00:13:18.460 We'll get to, I'm going to get to all of these quotes in a second, but I want to get to the side that you were talking about earlier, which is why would you watch this when you have asthma gold or us as an alternative?

00:13:26.040 And the answer is genuinely why, like why, like the, the 18, the reason they've lost 18 to 24 demographic, you know, as asthma gold points out, he beats most major news stations in that demographic by the really sad.

00:13:38.660 His dad died to happen recently and he took off the show.

00:13:42.640 You know, he used to do every day, very diligent about never missing multiple times every day.

00:13:47.160 What a prolific man.

00:13:48.100 What a worker. 1.00

00:13:48.700 And he decided to take off indefinitely, you know, citing his dad's health.

00:13:52.900 And I think a lot of people were like, you know, this is a big mistake.

00:13:56.260 You know, how long are you going to do this?

00:13:57.880 And he turned out to have done the right thing.

00:14:00.080 You know, his dad did end up dying not long after that.

00:14:03.040 And it's, it's a regret he's not going to have.

00:14:05.280 And his dad also would call into the show regularly and just ramble and he'd let him talk.

00:14:09.380 So it appeared they had a positive relationship.

00:14:11.540 But anyway, I, I, I think if you're an 18 to 24, why are you watching these guys?

00:14:17.600 The shows often don't really respect your time very much, which is something we try to do as a show is just, you know, not leave a lot of dead space.

00:14:24.640 Try to go from a piece of information you may not be getting somewhere else to a piece of information you may not be getting somewhere else where they're not doing that.

00:14:31.440 If you look at the Jimmy Kimmel show, it is about confirming the things you already believe as a joke, which isn't funny, right?

00:14:38.480 I used to be obsessed with late night TV, specifically the Daily Show and the Colbert Report.

00:14:44.020 I was so into the Colbert Report that because I was living in Scotland at the time when I did my undergrad, I couldn't watch it on TV.

00:14:52.040 I couldn't stream it.

00:14:53.080 So I bought a subscription, a daily subscription to it on YouTube, on Apple, Apple Music.

00:14:58.960 So I paid like, I don't know, I'm going to say like $1.50 an episode every single day.

00:15:03.260 I bought the book.

00:15:04.600 I can't remember what it was called.

00:15:06.500 There's a Colbert book.

00:15:07.440 Oh yeah, we got that too.

00:15:08.760 So like, we were, I'm like a super fan of this show.

00:15:13.400 No, we loved it.

00:15:14.400 And he 100% deserved to be canceled. 1.00

00:15:16.320 His show became absolute dog trash. 0.99

00:15:19.680 The Colbert Report is still on. 0.99

00:15:22.860 No, the Colbert Report was canceled.

00:15:23.980 We're going to talk about the cancellation of that.

00:15:25.140 Did you not know that?

00:15:26.620 I just watched a segment where he talked about the Kimmel suspension.

00:15:30.760 He took over the Tonight Show and then was canceled.

00:15:33.740 Hold on.

00:15:34.180 I just watched a segment and he joked about like people thinking he was canceled and that

00:15:44.200 it's not true.

00:15:45.000 Oh, it's going to be canceled May, 2026.

00:15:49.460 Yeah.

00:15:50.100 It's not being renewed.

00:15:51.760 It's not being renewed, but it hasn't been canceled yet.

00:15:54.320 But yeah, it absolutely, he's just not good anymore.

00:15:56.320 I mean, when you watched it, did he, was he like, how could this happen?

00:16:00.400 Basically, he was just like, that's Jimmy Kimmel being Jimmy Kimmel.

00:16:05.000 And he's not wrong.

00:16:06.140 Because again, this format has been rife with inaccuracies for a very long time.

00:16:13.980 But I think that this is different because it wasn't even a real joke.

00:16:17.180 Okay.

00:16:18.020 And it wasn't like an inaccuracy.

00:16:19.780 Like he cut up a piece using real people's words to say something else.

00:16:23.380 It was just saying something that is the opposite of what's true around a political assassination.

00:16:29.940 Well, and what's troubling too is people with greater frequency than I could have ever expected

00:16:35.400 are bandying around the term civil war.

00:16:38.120 This is not innocuous incitement or representation.

00:16:44.100 This is contributing to a level of internal unrest that is dangerous.

00:16:50.640 And there are people who watch this show who love the idea of there being a civil war.

00:16:55.400 Civil wars are not fun for anyone involved.

00:16:57.900 But I think that there's a second thing here that you're missing, which is why these shows

00:17:03.320 have dropped off.

00:17:03.900 I don't just think it's the audience and the alternatives.

00:17:06.500 I, if you, if you talk about, you know, circa my college days, Daily Show or Colbert Report,

00:17:12.960 I would have rather watched those than Asmigold, if Asmigold was an alternative back then. 0.99

00:17:18.540 But today I would rather watch Asmigold.

00:17:20.960 And the question is, is why?

00:17:22.440 And the answer is because they used to be funny.

00:17:25.640 And so the question is, is why aren't they funny anymore?

00:17:28.220 Right?

00:17:28.420 Like this is actually an interesting point.

00:17:30.260 Like why did, why?

00:17:31.780 Because comedians used to be overwhelmingly leftist.

00:17:34.800 Like this was a thing.

00:17:35.900 And if you go into mainstream comedy, comedians are still overwhelmingly leftist.

00:17:41.880 Although the Colbert Report originally, the Colbert Report was funny because it was

00:17:46.380 a leftist pretending to be a rightist, but honestly, very similar with the, the character

00:17:51.940 Ron Swanson from the show Parks and Rec.

00:17:54.800 There's something about like even leftist parodies of rightists that are absolutely delightful.

00:18:01.180 Yeah.

00:18:01.900 When they go.

00:18:02.640 That back then, the thing is, is you could portray, whether it's Ron Swanson or the Colbert

00:18:08.020 Report, a rightist as having some positive qualities in the way that you portrayed them.

00:18:13.400 This, this was key to the Colbert character, but you can't do that anymore.

00:18:18.260 And I also.

00:18:19.760 It's no, there's no longer any capacity to even try to model people on the right.

00:18:25.960 And then, you know, actually rightist in a way that's entertaining.

00:18:30.400 It's just, it's just hatred and vitriol.

00:18:33.220 It's just resentment.

00:18:34.540 It's just derangement.

00:18:36.420 And that's not fun anymore.

00:18:37.700 And I think that's something that you and I have been talking about a lot internally

00:18:40.560 is we love working with people who are politically different from us or ideologically different

00:18:46.840 from us who make fun of us in good spirit, mostly because they can model us and they understand

00:18:51.720 our points.

00:18:52.600 They just have different, you know, conclusions.

00:18:55.420 What, what is different now is a complete loss of that capacity to model the other side,

00:19:02.780 which then leads to an inability to make a depiction of it funny or even make criticisms

00:19:08.080 of it funny.

00:19:09.340 Yes.

00:19:09.820 I think that that's part of it.

00:19:10.980 But I also think if you watch one of their shows now, like even the joke that Jimmy Kimmel

00:19:14.880 did with this, he's just like our side, good, their side, bad audience laugh.

00:19:19.960 That is the core joke structure, right?

00:19:22.780 Whereas if you look at older jokes on the shows, they follow people aren't familiar with

00:19:27.660 my theory of humor.

00:19:28.560 I'm not going to explain the whole thing, but it's basically when you hear an idea,

00:19:32.760 or you see something that makes sense in context, but is otherwise surprising.

00:19:39.000 And we argue that it likely evolved as a signal that babies gave to their parents to get them

00:19:44.560 to repeat a task until they could like understand it.

00:19:47.200 It was like, oh, I almost understand that like object permanence, do it again.

00:19:50.480 And so they create this positive stimuli and the parents react.

00:19:52.600 And we continue laughing as adults now, even though we're not really supposed to.

00:19:56.280 And this is why, you know, if you want to see like an ape really laugh, watch videos

00:20:00.320 of apes watching magic tricks.

00:20:01.880 They will just absolutely crack up because they're like, tell me again, like, I want

00:20:05.720 to understand that.

00:20:07.060 Like, why isn't the ball in the cup anymore?

00:20:09.080 Like I saw you put it in the cup.

00:20:10.780 And if you look at the Colbert character, he allowed for that a lot, right?

00:20:15.360 Like, because it's like, oh, it's so surprising that someone would say that, but oh yes, he's

00:20:20.340 a right-wing archetype character.

00:20:22.480 So it's surprising, but it makes sense within the context of his character.

00:20:26.660 It's a very easy format for doing lots of jokes, especially if you play like an over-the-top

00:20:32.520 caricature of that, right?

00:20:34.740 Which, I don't know, I try to take some of my personality from that.

00:20:38.020 We'll see, you know, because everybody takes their personality from different caricatures,

00:20:42.700 but, or different things they see within media.

00:20:45.300 If they're doing it right.

00:20:46.220 Yeah, but the point, I'm the modern day Colbert, right?

00:20:50.640 I understand what the other side is thinking.

00:20:52.840 I just embody the character for real, for real.

00:20:55.300 Yeah, but no, Malcolm, you do not embody the left.

00:20:59.040 No, I embody the right-wing character.

00:21:02.440 That Colbert was the right-wing character.

00:21:04.760 I am the ultra patriotic, the...

00:21:07.620 No, you are.

00:21:08.300 Yeah, you are ultra patriotic.

00:21:09.940 There's that.

00:21:10.580 I'm worried about the French and bears. 0.78

00:21:12.660 But the point I'm making here, it was a very good format.

00:21:15.240 And in the modern leftist format, because they believe it's funny to just be like your side

00:21:20.100 bad, our side good, it doesn't appeal to most general audiences.

00:21:24.660 But in addition to that, the left will get you for like stepping out of line with anything

00:21:29.720 that's overly subversive.

00:21:31.380 And if you look at the old, you know, like SNL or something, you'd have like the ambiguously

00:21:36.220 gay duo and stuff like that.

00:21:37.900 Yeah.

00:21:38.260 Or Stephen Colbert.

00:21:39.480 Like even remember Stephen Colbert?

00:21:41.020 People may not know this, but the term cancel, cancel culture, everything like that, you

00:21:48.380 know, saying I'm canceled.

00:21:50.200 Do you remember when it was invented, Simone?

00:21:52.920 Came from the LGBTQ community? 0.73

00:21:56.880 No, it came from the cancel Colbert movement.

00:21:59.400 They took it from the LGBTQ movement. 0.99

00:22:01.440 But what made it popular lexicon...

00:22:03.280 Okay, what popular?

00:22:04.320 Okay.

00:22:04.600 So he, that brought it to the mainstream.

00:22:07.040 Okay.

00:22:07.220 That's the mainstream that everybody knows about it from is cancel Colbert.

00:22:11.140 And what did Colbert do?

00:22:13.380 They got him, they tried to cancel him over. 0.72

00:22:16.260 It was his Ching Chong Bing Chong character where he would do a silly accent and do his eyes 0.99

00:22:20.580 like this. 0.95

00:22:21.320 Oh no.

00:22:22.120 You're so pretty American girl.

00:22:23.800 You come here, you kiss my team, they call sweet.

00:22:26.240 I don't need no sugar when you're around.

00:22:29.120 Come on my rickshaw, I give you a ride to Bangkok.

00:22:31.500 And some Asian girl who I think later between the four, right, activists.

00:22:38.200 Yes.

00:22:39.160 Okay.

00:22:39.800 Total grifter.

00:22:40.660 Decided she tried to get him canceled over this. 0.56

00:22:43.160 Like this was causing her like serious emotional distress.

00:22:46.400 It was like the biggest BS ever.

00:22:48.300 And nothing ended up happening.

00:22:49.540 But that shows that Colbert actually used to be like subversive, right?

00:22:54.640 So much so that backlash to Colbert invented cancel culture.

00:22:59.360 Okay, so the invention of the term cancel appears to be a case of the LGBT slash black community 0.99

00:23:05.560 attempting to take credit for inventing a term that they didn't invent.

00:23:08.640 While the term canceled was used to reject people at like balls and stuff and dances.

00:23:14.640 It most certainly entered popular culture as like a to be canceled by the mob because of

00:23:20.000 Colbert.

00:23:20.660 Because the term in the context of cancel Colbert meant to cancel the show, which is what it

00:23:26.400 means when you shut down a show.

00:23:28.180 It very clearly came specifically from the shut down the Colbert show or cancel the Colbert

00:23:34.380 show.

00:23:34.880 Can you imagine?

00:23:35.900 Yeah.

00:23:36.120 Can you imagine any late night show doing something like that now?

00:23:41.080 Yeah.

00:23:41.360 Gotta do the, yeah.

00:23:41.980 They got boring.

00:23:42.760 They stopped.

00:23:43.380 They stopped doing anything that was risque or interesting.

00:23:46.960 And it's still good comedy today.

00:23:49.420 Popular comedy today is risque.

00:23:51.740 And that's why so many comedians now require attendees to put their phones in, in Faraday

00:23:57.400 bags.

00:23:58.440 Really?

00:23:59.060 Yeah.

00:23:59.860 I mean, one, they don't want everything like immediately on YouTube because they're trying

00:24:02.960 out new routines before they want to take them like onto a Netflix special.

00:24:06.940 But two, yeah, there's just a lot of concern about what they're saying being risque leading

00:24:11.600 to them not being able to continue their tour because someone makes a huge stink about it

00:24:15.860 online.

00:24:17.020 Yeah.

00:24:18.160 I'll tell you one of my jokes that I told that absolutely killed at the Libertarian

00:24:21.620 Convention before I was public was being skeptical.

00:24:25.900 So I was like, nobody, nobody's recording.

00:24:27.720 Right.

00:24:27.920 But now we're more publicly skeptical.

00:24:31.280 I'll take out the, the, the hint before this so that people get the joke.

00:24:35.780 But I go, you know, when I was a kid and this is, this is actually true, Simone.

00:24:39.320 I was so in to, you know, it's subversive culture.

00:24:45.740 I, you know, would dress in like punk clothes and goth clothes and have my own little scene

00:24:51.300 type outfit.

00:24:52.820 And everything I did was like, so like offensive to like pearl clutching adults and everything. 0.91

00:24:57.900 And they'd always tell me, they're like, well, I know you think that you're like crazy

00:25:06.160 and out there and subversive now, but one day you're going to be old.

00:25:10.740 And one day the kids will do things that will shock and offend you.

00:25:18.240 And I told them that is just not true.

00:25:24.380 I, I, I am always going to be with it. 1.00

00:25:27.580 Little did I know that cutting your dick off was going to become a trend. 1.00

00:25:36.000 It's true though. 1.00

00:25:36.940 If you had told the younger me, I would have been, and that's what makes it because it's

00:25:39.760 subversive, right?

00:25:40.400 It's, it's funny.

00:25:41.420 It's subversive, but it's obviously true.

00:25:43.660 It's surprising because who would do that?

00:25:45.660 But it makes sense because a lot of people are doing that in the nineties and the early

00:25:49.640 thousands, right?

00:25:50.600 Where I was like the early thousands, you go to them and you're like, you know, you're

00:25:55.160 going to, one day the kids are going to shock you.

00:25:57.960 And you're like, no, all of them were like, no. 1.00

00:26:00.060 And then you tell that version, what have I told you cutting off your dick's going to 1.00

00:26:04.520 become a trend? 1.00

00:26:05.560 They'd be like, wait, what?

00:26:07.140 Yeah.

00:26:07.540 That gets you.

00:26:08.520 That's an actual trend.

00:26:10.080 This is like, cool.

00:26:12.880 And they're like, yeah, that there's groups that think it's pretty cool.

00:26:17.460 And you're like, whoa, people, people will brag about this.

00:26:23.360 Oh yeah.

00:26:23.900 They make you bring it up constantly in conversation.

00:26:28.400 Really?

00:26:31.520 Anyway, that's, that's a Malcolm joke.

00:26:34.560 We'll see if the audience thought that was funny.

00:26:37.120 Gosh.

00:26:38.340 I'll keep, I'll keep going.

00:26:39.620 Your dad, it's a dad joke.

00:26:41.440 Maybe it's not.

00:26:42.180 I have no idea.

00:26:43.140 I have no idea.

00:26:44.180 But I'll go into what the Trump administration has said.

00:26:45.900 Cause people are like, yeah, but now the Trump administration is going after media freedom.

00:26:49.220 Okay.

00:26:50.040 Now I point out here, how many YouTubers and right-wing media lost their jobs and lost

00:26:56.240 their source of income for telling the truth about COVID.

00:26:59.120 Truths that we now recognize.

00:27:01.640 And keep in mind the whiplash of one day it's don't wear a mask.

00:27:06.160 Masks actually do nothing.

00:27:07.200 If you say that you, you want to wear a mask, we will de-platform you.

00:27:10.760 And then like within a week it became, oh, actually masks are completely required and

00:27:16.560 we will de-platform you.

00:27:17.800 If you say don't wear a mask.

00:27:19.320 And by the way, we were never arguing the exact opposite two weeks ago.

00:27:23.500 That for me was the craziest part of COVID when that happened.

00:27:27.360 Cause I would like talk to people and it felt so 1984 where it was like the, the, the new

00:27:34.060 thing had dropped and we were supposed to pretend that the old thing had never been an old thing

00:27:38.460 and we weren't just telling people.

00:27:39.940 Yeah.

00:27:40.380 We never said that.

00:27:41.340 What do you mean?

00:27:41.900 No, you have to wear a mask now.

00:27:43.540 I have always said this.

00:27:44.780 I was like, what?

00:27:46.540 Have you taken down the old episodes of your show?

00:27:48.460 I go, I look, I'm like, no.

00:27:51.100 You.

00:27:52.580 Ah, truth just doesn't matter to you people.

00:27:56.340 That was when I was like, this is crazy.

00:27:58.920 I'm in the twilight zone here.

00:28:00.040 In the name of Vectron, I bring you greeting, Chancellor.

00:28:04.960 Vectron be with you, Ambassador, and may the power of Vectron bring prosperity to your

00:28:09.520 house.

00:28:10.140 By Vectron's beard.

00:28:11.940 Excellent.

00:28:13.120 Chancellor.

00:28:13.980 Yes.

00:28:15.440 Who's Vectron?

00:28:17.740 What?

00:28:18.480 This Vectron we all keep mentioning.

00:28:21.680 What?

00:28:22.780 Don't you know by Vectron?

00:28:24.660 No.

00:28:25.520 You see, about three weeks ago, I was ill.

00:28:27.720 When I came back on the Friday morning, it was all Vectron, Vectron, Vectron.

00:28:33.100 No one's really explained.

00:28:35.700 Just three weeks ago, but Vectron is eternal.

00:28:39.160 Honestly, Steve, no one, I mean, none of us have ever said the word Vectron in our lives

00:28:45.760 until I took that day off.

00:28:48.380 Maybe.

00:28:48.820 But the point here being is, the Trump administration, if they do do a crackdown on this, would be

00:28:55.480 doing much less than what leftists did.

00:28:57.720 And you can be like, well, leftists weren't getting mainstream TV watchers banned.

00:29:02.180 And I was like, banning mainstream TV matters much less than putting restrictions on something

00:29:06.240 like YouTube.

00:29:07.080 If you're talking about where key demographics are actually getting their information from.

00:29:10.780 Yeah.

00:29:11.340 But anyway, to continue here.

00:29:14.100 Trump praised ABC's indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live following controversial

00:29:19.600 remarks, posting on Truth Social, congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do

00:29:25.240 what had to be done. 0.97

00:29:26.120 He also called Kimmel someone who made a total fool of himself. 0.99

00:29:30.700 Fool in all caps. 0.98

00:29:31.560 OK, I don't see why that's controversial. 0.85

00:29:35.340 He then suggested, and here's where it gets controversial, broadcasters airing critical

00:29:39.020 content should face consequences.

00:29:40.520 Stating to reporters, quote, I would think maybe their license should be taken away, end

00:29:44.860 quote.

00:29:45.700 Referring to networks that, quote unquote, hit Trump.

00:29:48.400 And another comment said of TV networks, quote, I mean, they're getting a license.

00:29:53.500 I would think that their license could be taken away.

00:29:55.980 It would be up to Brendan Carr, end quote.

00:29:58.180 So I love that.

00:29:59.400 I'm sure he did not go over this with Brendan Carr.

00:30:02.340 He's just like, I'll just say it to the news stations and he'll see it on TV and then do

00:30:06.640 it if he feels like it.

00:30:07.740 That is his style.

00:30:08.880 Yes.

00:30:09.080 That is his style.

00:30:10.020 I effing love that about his style.

00:30:11.720 I love that like our ideas have been taken to Trump by reporters.

00:30:14.820 He goes, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

00:30:16.640 Like, I don't know.

00:30:17.260 I'm not like at the White House putting something up through the ranks.

00:30:20.240 And then they'll like ask the press secretary.

00:30:21.720 She goes, yeah, that seems reasonable.

00:30:23.060 If Trump said it's reasonable, you know.

00:30:24.460 This is how you're part of this larger media landscape, right?

00:30:29.180 But the larger point here is, is it wrong to take away stations license if they are doing

00:30:37.480 the type of thing that Jimmy Kimmel was doing, which is just complete fabrications that he

00:30:43.820 was aware of a fabrication?

00:30:45.040 Keep in mind that the leftists did the same thing to all of Facebook over something that

00:30:52.000 they knew was true, the hunter-bited laptop story.

00:30:55.320 And this is simply during an election cycle.

00:30:58.480 Yeah.

00:30:58.620 I love it when people are like, well, if Trump does this, then the leftists will do it.

00:31:05.060 It's like, bro, the leftists are already doing something 10 times worse.

00:31:09.840 They are forcing falsehoods using their power over media.

00:31:15.060 And now they are calling foul when Trump tries to force truth over media.

00:31:20.480 And the larger thing to me about all of this that I want to go over or deeper into here is

00:31:28.360 that they feel they have the right to get mad about somebody being fired for knowingly stating

00:31:34.800 the opposite of the truth for political motivations on air from a private job when he had lower ratings

00:31:43.980 than most people have when they get fired.

00:31:45.580 And sort of, it seems to be that they believe that there should be almost a protection for

00:31:52.340 people who are lying about Trump within their jobs.

00:31:55.800 In the same way, and we've seen this in other areas.

00:31:58.140 So people can be like, no, that sounds bizarre, where, you know, like as an employer, if you've

00:32:02.940 got to fire like one of five people on a team and one of those people is trans, you can't 1.00

00:32:07.540 fire the trans person first because you'll be sued or attacked or something like that. 0.96

00:32:12.180 Right. 0.99

00:32:12.920 And I think that it's sort of the same phenomenon here.

00:32:15.580 Where it's like, he was, or believed, and it seemed that many mainstream leftists believed

00:32:22.340 that through easily false, like provably falsifiable attacks on right-wing ideologies, that you

00:32:32.940 protect yourself in your position, because then you could say, if you were fired, that you

00:32:37.220 were fired for this.

00:32:39.460 Which is, to me, really chilling, because it shows how much control they had over our

00:32:46.060 culture until now, and that how much of a better place we're in, that they can't freak

00:32:51.960 out.

00:32:52.180 And I love that, you know, we're not actually getting pushback from anyone who matters,

00:32:56.460 right?

00:32:56.620 Like when the people go up and they freak out about this stuff, I'd even go, this is

00:33:01.980 like a great one.

00:33:02.660 Like to me, this is trans people in sports to go over.

00:33:05.200 That he shouldn't have been fired with bad ratings that were continuing to fall at record

00:33:11.360 rates while lying in the position of a newscaster.

00:33:15.260 Yeah, I mean, your depiction of this as the network taking an opportunity to less expensively

00:33:24.260 end a contract that was going to end inevitably makes a lot of sense.

00:33:29.860 A lot of sense.

00:33:32.020 And while Trump is threatening stuff like licenses, what is he actually doing, right?

00:33:37.520 What he's actually doing is just funny banter to freak people out.

00:33:40.640 Like, here's the great one on True Social, where he says, that leaves Jimmy and Seth, two 0.93

00:33:47.200 total losers, on Fake News NBC. 0.94

00:33:50.800 The ratings are horrible. 1.00

00:33:52.840 Do it, NBC!

00:33:54.440 Exclamation mark, exclamation mark.

00:33:58.680 What are you waiting for, huh?

00:34:02.060 What are you waiting for?

00:34:04.960 What are you waiting for?

00:34:08.100 What am I waiting for?

00:34:09.140 What am I waiting for?

00:34:11.820 What are you waiting for?

00:34:13.380 You! 0.99

00:34:14.660 Oh! 0.60

00:34:16.520 Oh my God!

00:34:19.540 Oh my God.

00:34:23.060 I mean...

00:34:25.460 And he also called networks an arm of the Democratic Party, which I mean, if you're doing this,

00:34:29.240 you are, right?

00:34:29.980 Like, how is that an untruth, right?

00:34:32.520 So, one, I could go over how they could do this.

00:34:36.000 I guess, like, the FCC could investigate complaints about content deemed not in the public interest,

00:34:42.980 a broad standard requiring stations to serve community interests and avoid certain harms,

00:34:46.720 like indecency. 0.94

00:34:47.920 Trump and Carter have faced critical satire, as biased or harmful, potentially triggering

00:34:53.860 reviews.

00:34:54.460 Except this wasn't a case of satire.

00:34:56.840 Like, the way that people are talking about it is, like, this guy made a joke critical

00:35:01.420 of Trump, instead of this guy lied about an assassination that just happened.

00:35:06.900 Well, he lied about the...

00:35:12.380 He misrepresented the political affiliation of Charlie Carson.

00:35:16.660 He didn't misrepresent.

00:35:17.800 He said his political affiliation was the opposite of what it was.

00:35:21.600 That's not misrepresenting.

00:35:23.380 Well, this was at a time when we didn't have a whole lot of information.

00:35:26.880 No.

00:35:26.960 I think a lot of people argue that he was just engaging in speculation.

00:35:29.880 That's not true, Simone.

00:35:30.460 That's not true.

00:35:30.920 We had evidence from day one and when he gave this on air that this guy was a left-wing

00:35:36.720 individual.

00:35:37.640 This was from early interviews.

00:35:39.680 This is from early everything.

00:35:40.920 Is what had been released to say that he was left-wing at this time.

00:35:45.200 The New York Times, before this, had described Robinson as, quote,

00:35:51.720 an assassin with hardening left-wing pro-LGBTQ views that led him to violence.

00:35:57.860 Not only did they say that he was a left-wing in the New York Times, but that it

00:36:00.760 had led him to violence.

00:36:02.560 If you look at what the Utah governor, Spencer Cox, had said before this at NBC's

00:36:07.220 Meet the Press, he said he, quote, unquote, clearly had a leftist ideology.

00:36:12.540 These details were made publicly and loudly before Jimmy Kimmel did this.

00:36:18.720 The only, and I think that you are not aware of this as to why people argued he was right-wing,

00:36:24.440 just in case you're wondering.

00:36:25.540 They argued that he was right-wing, I think because of a clown meme that he posted at one

00:36:32.200 point and that at another point, you know, clown memes are common on the right.

00:36:38.020 Oh, it wasn't even a clown meme.

00:36:39.100 I think he dressed up as a clown for Halloween.

00:36:41.000 No, Robinson dressed up as someone piggybacking on President Trump.

00:36:47.100 No, that was another Halloween.

00:36:49.360 Okay.

00:36:50.000 Okay.

00:36:50.300 So there's some other Halloween.

00:36:52.000 Look up in AI right now why people argued that he was right-wing.

00:36:57.080 Because the clown meme, which they said Nick Fuentes also did. 0.95

00:37:02.840 And they said that he was gay and Nick Fuentes is also gay. 0.97

00:37:06.480 And that's proof that he's right-wing.

00:37:08.000 Those were the two proofs that they had.

00:37:11.920 What is the AI pulling up for?

00:37:14.260 I'm still typing it.

00:37:15.600 Hold on.

00:37:16.100 I have one handwritten.

00:37:17.840 You'll hear in post why.

00:37:19.300 The day after losing a finger.

00:37:21.320 Like literally, I can't even believe.

00:37:23.220 I didn't lose my finger.

00:37:24.740 I cut off just the tip.

00:37:27.940 Some of the fingernail too.

00:37:31.200 Okay.

00:37:31.600 Okay.

00:37:38.000 There was confusion and speculation online about Tyler Robinson being MAGA.

00:37:48.820 Largely because he came from a conservative pro-Trump background.

00:37:52.360 And in the immediate aftermath of the shooting of right-wing figure Charlie Kirk,

00:37:57.140 some commentators and social media users assumed a political motivation connected MAGA ideology.

00:38:04.300 Initial reasons for MAGA association included...

00:38:08.000 that he came from a conservative household.

00:38:10.540 Early online posts and rumors, including tweets by prominent commentators and even some

00:38:14.400 academics, suggested Robinson was ultra-MAGA based purely on his background before his

00:38:20.140 motives were codified.

00:38:22.480 Social media accounts cited old photos of Robinson wearing Trump merchandise or costumes,

00:38:27.680 fueling the speculation.

00:38:29.020 All of this is referring to the stuff that I just mentioned to you.

00:38:31.820 I'll find it and add it in post.

00:38:33.500 But there was other stuff that they saw was confirming.

00:38:36.120 I mean, literally, if it was just his family and a Trump Halloween costume, which could equally

00:38:42.060 be taken that he hates Trump, that's it.

00:38:47.580 Fairness, Malcolm, you repeat again and again how only 10% of children of political families

00:38:54.600 change affiliation.

00:38:55.580 Yes, but they do.

00:38:58.200 Like, you shouldn't, you shouldn't be assuming just because of his family that he would be

00:39:02.520 pro-Trump, especially if he assassinated a major right-wing figure.

00:39:06.060 That would take, like, you'd need a real good reason.

00:39:09.220 Okay, why did they think that he was right-wing?

00:39:11.520 You will find this hilarious because I decided to look it up.

00:39:14.340 So they marked the bullet casings.

00:39:17.560 The notices, bulge, uwu, what's that, they said was evidence that he was right-wing.

00:39:22.360 A furry meme reference.

00:39:24.660 Bella Chow, which was apparently an anti-fascist song lyrics, they said was proof that he was 0.65

00:39:29.160 right-wing.

00:39:30.300 And hey, fascist, on the bullet casing, they said was evidence that he was actually right-wing.

00:39:36.420 Now, if you want to know how they twisted these, the notices, bulges, uwu, uh, this is a twisted

00:39:43.300 degenerate furry meme, uwu is a catgirl emoticon, mocking, noticing, groper code for spotting

00:39:50.160 Jewish influence in society.

00:39:51.880 It's a kind of layered, self-referential joke Nick Fuentes' crowd used to hide behind bigotry

00:39:57.360 behind assertity.

00:39:59.060 The Bella Chow, they said the Italian anti-fascist partisan song, famous for money heists, but

00:40:03.960 remixed into track on Grofers' Spotify playlists, Grofers co-opted it ironically to troll fake

00:40:09.600 conservatives.

00:40:10.920 And then in, hey, fascist, read, like, as a direct taunt, possibly aimed at Kirk's perceived

00:40:16.740 establishment ties, echoing how Grofers baited him online and in speeches.

00:40:22.160 And I note here that the Grofers, the far conservatives, did not like Charlie Kirk.

00:40:25.800 Like, that's one thing that they write about, because he was not far right.

00:40:28.240 He was very centrist in his actual beliefs.

00:40:30.220 Even if you read a few things out of context, it might seem otherwise.

00:40:34.880 The thing that I was thinking about was a resurfaced Halloween costume, where he was pictured

00:40:39.580 in a squatting Slav costume. 0.89

00:40:42.160 This evolved from Pepe the Frog memes, people argued, in Grofer iconography.

00:40:47.680 And Fuentes uses Pepe memes, which they connected with the squatting Slav pose. 0.98

00:40:55.780 And in other older photos, like the inflatable Trump float, which, again, could just as well

00:41:01.680 mean he's not.

00:41:02.320 Like, the ties were so absurdly small that it really is astonishing.

00:41:07.500 And most of them, a normal sane human would be, this is obviously left-wing stuff.

00:41:11.400 Like, suppose I was a leftist, and I was trying to determine this, and I saw people commenting, 0.94

00:41:17.900 this guy was maggot, right?

00:41:19.200 And I wasn't just, like, a tarred, right? 0.85

00:41:21.440 My first thought would be, well, that's interesting.

00:41:24.720 Why would any right-wing activist, especially a far right-wing activist, assassinate Charlie

00:41:30.040 Kirk, right?

00:41:31.200 Like, I'd be like, I'm going to need some explanation there as to how that happened,

00:41:35.580 right?

00:41:37.000 And I just, I just would have been like, I need to at least, and if you could see from

00:41:42.860 the early stuff, if you looked into it even a little bit, you would have seen that he was

00:41:46.780 left-wing.

00:41:48.340 Like, if you had just asked an AI, if you had just, but what I think really happened,

00:41:53.520 if you're going to be honest about it, maybe he didn't lie knowingly, and maybe he's just

00:41:56.380 in, like, a Twitter or Blue Sky hole.

00:41:58.020 Like, if he's on Blue Sky.

00:41:58.780 Also keep in mind, these people, as much as this was presumably his, like, cold-open

00:42:04.940 monologue, he has teams of writers.

00:42:08.620 This is very much a team sport.

00:42:11.920 This is another reason why this format isn't viable.

00:42:14.800 Whose version of news is Blue Sky simply would not know that the guy wasn't MAGA.

00:42:20.700 Yeah.

00:42:21.200 Well, no, yeah, I mean, I just watched, you know, again, in terms of people turning to

00:42:25.340 YouTube for commentators, there is, like, a leftist version.

00:42:28.780 Of, basically, a late-night commentator who I watch who gave this whole exposition on

00:42:35.020 how almost certainly he was a griper, and that is clearly not true.

00:42:41.160 So, I think you're absolutely right.

00:42:43.340 By the way, I want to point out, before we had the info, I was the one who said the trans

00:42:46.520 community is connected to all this, and everybody, when the person come out, they're like, 0.97

00:42:50.260 oh, Malcolm, oh, Malcolm, you fool, you got over your skis on this one, you let your prejudice 0.98

00:42:56.200 blind you, and I'm like, give it time, give it time. 0.99

00:43:00.900 A few days later, it's like, uh-oh, uh-oh.

00:43:05.560 Watch our episode on all the trans people who were aware that this was going to happen

00:43:09.200 on that exact date before this.

00:43:11.480 It's pretty clear that this was, like, a larger community effort at this point, right?

00:43:16.440 And fortunately, the FBI is actually investigating this, which is cool.

00:43:18.680 But I was like, it's one of those things where the left just gets it wrong.

00:43:23.500 They get the election outcomes wrong.

00:43:25.060 They get the motivations wrong.

00:43:26.980 I'm coming in here, and I'm giving you guys truce bombs.

00:43:29.400 I got two unresolved predictions on this show, so we'll see if they come true.

00:43:33.240 So you guys can remember my two.

00:43:34.760 One was that Bitcoin will crash, not this cycle.

00:43:40.160 It'll have one cycle after this cycle, and then the cycle after that is going to crash.

00:43:43.460 And we sold in this cycle because I said I didn't want to sell in the cycle before it crashed

00:43:47.800 because I think that trying to time the peak is always a bad idea,

00:43:51.820 and trying to time the last cycle is always a bad idea.

00:43:55.060 And so that's one thing.

00:43:56.000 And I'll add why it will crash.

00:43:58.160 It will have something to do with the cryptography being broken or quantum computing,

00:44:02.400 or something to do with AI development.

00:44:05.560 Next big prediction from the show is, and keep in mind,

00:44:09.460 we were very pro-Bitcoin early on, and I am still conceptually pro-crypto.

00:44:13.840 I just don't think Bitcoin is going to continue to work.

00:44:17.600 And so if you're like a Bitcoin person, you can watch our episode on why we think this,

00:44:20.840 where we go into it in a lot more detail.

00:44:22.500 It has to do with the way the governance model makes it hard to update quantum resistance,

00:44:26.400 which a lot of people are unaware of.

00:44:28.460 Like, basically, the core vote of the governance model goes to the miners, not the holders.

00:44:34.740 And because it goes to the miners, and the miner equipment is super specialized for the type of

00:44:39.500 algorithms that it is doing currently, you have no motivation, even if quantum computing

00:44:44.980 breaking Bitcoin is completely imminent, to switch to a quantum-safe model if it requires

00:44:51.260 a different chipset.

00:44:52.540 And the only way around this is develop a system, which they may do, and some people point out,

00:44:56.520 where you can use the existing chipset to use quantum-safe stuff.

00:45:01.160 But it's just hard, like, especially as quantum gets better.

00:45:03.700 And I, by the way, said this before all of the news came out, that quantum had undergone

00:45:07.860 a lot more improvements than people realized.

00:45:09.780 I don't know if you remember, but like two months after I did that episode, there was

00:45:12.280 like this huge wave of FUD in relation to this.

00:45:14.860 And the other big prediction we have is China, that China is going to collapse as a world power

00:45:20.340 within the next 20 years.

00:45:22.360 And that is a very spicy prediction.

00:45:24.100 And that's our biggest argument with Elon, because he really does not believe this.

00:45:27.700 He's quite invested in China, continuing to do well, because he sells Tesla in China.

00:45:31.280 Do you know Tesla doesn't even require a subsidiary in China?

00:45:33.960 They just get to sell directly, and almost nobody gets to do that.

00:45:36.860 Wow.

00:45:37.200 You're not even doing a JV.

00:45:39.260 I don't need to explain-

00:45:39.900 That's impressive.

00:45:41.640 Wow.

00:45:41.880 Yeah, yeah.

00:45:42.260 Elon's done well in buttering China.

00:45:44.760 He is-

00:45:44.840 Well, then even if he does believe China's boned, and he probably does, understanding, you know, 0.80

00:45:49.360 given what he knows about-

00:45:50.860 No, he doesn't.

00:45:51.660 He doesn't.

00:45:51.940 Demographic shifts.

00:45:52.980 He can't say anything.

00:45:55.460 No, he doesn't.

00:45:57.040 So I'm sure he's argued this publicly somewhere before, but he believes that if you look at

00:46:01.980 things like the minerals that need to be mined, because, of course, he's focused on things

00:46:06.880 like glyceum for batteries and stuff like that, that there's just too much raw material,

00:46:11.900 along with the capacity to extract it competently in China, for it to ever collapse in the way

00:46:16.920 that I suspect it will collapse, in terms of the types of raw materials that there's

00:46:20.400 going to be an increasing demand for, whereas I think that their entire existing economy

00:46:24.580 is something of a pyramid scheme, and for that reason, even if it does have a lot of

00:46:28.600 wealth beneath the soil or something, it still could collapse.

00:46:31.660 So it's just a different-

00:46:33.280 I think that his opinion is colored by the fact that he is in the EV industry, and it's

00:46:38.860 where a lot of his money is, and so he's very focused on the things that EVs need,

00:46:42.400 where EVs are bought.

00:46:43.480 And China has a great EV industry, by the way, and where EVs are manufactured, which

00:46:48.460 leads him to believe that China is more broadly competent than they actually are.

00:46:53.060 Perhaps.

00:46:54.240 Perhaps.

00:46:54.980 But what I'm pointing out here is another problem with watching left-wing media for a lot of people

00:46:59.960 is they just get their predictions wrong.

00:47:04.400 And if you're watching, the point of information is that it helps you predict future states of

00:47:09.100 the world, right?

00:47:10.620 And if you are watching a show and it gives you an inaccurate prediction of future states

00:47:14.660 of the world, then you are not getting meaningful information from that.

00:47:18.220 And we've made some really big calls on our show that turned out to be right.

00:47:22.280 Most of my favorites are in the field of AI.

00:47:24.420 I predicted early on, when it was still considered crazy, that it was going to turn out, as we

00:47:29.440 learned more about the internal architecture of AI, that AI had a sort of a convergent internal

00:47:36.000 architecture to the human brain, and everybody thought this was crazy to begin with.

00:47:40.380 And now, like, 16 to 20 studies in, it's just every week we're getting new evidence.

00:47:44.780 Pretty consistent, yeah.

00:47:45.880 That crazy prediction turned out to be right.

00:47:48.080 Another crazy prediction that turned out to be right was that AI, and keep in mind, there

00:47:52.760 was even a study done to find out how many people suspected this, that AI would become

00:47:56.980 less competent the less aligned you tried to force it to be.

00:48:00.340 And nobody believes this, and it turned out to be right.

00:48:03.360 You can look at my utility convergence theory.

00:48:05.120 This came out five years ago, which is different from instrumental convergence, which argues that

00:48:09.580 AI eventually converges on a single or a few homeostatically stable architectures, instead

00:48:17.500 of the risk of, like, random fooming architectures, which means you need to take into account game

00:48:22.020 theory when considering AI safety.

00:48:23.920 And I was completely right about all of that.

00:48:26.320 This all, like, even Elie Eiser has recently pulled back and been like, by the way, you

00:48:31.260 guys, in the natalist movement, you guys got to get way more online, because we are now

00:48:34.760 beaten again by AI safety.

00:48:36.920 They had this big foom of explosion in search trends.

00:48:41.820 It helps that Yukowski and Nate, Elie Eiser.

00:48:47.200 That's who's in the New York Times recently, yeah.

00:48:49.340 Playing on major news channels and stuff.

00:48:51.420 They're on a full-out book tour with the book, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies.

00:48:56.320 Which is their attempt to take AI doomerism mainstream.

00:49:01.160 Yay.

00:49:02.920 Yay.

00:49:04.060 I've provenly gotten all my AI predictions right, and they've provenly gotten all their

00:49:07.780 AI predictions wrong.

00:49:08.780 I'm listening to it now.

00:49:10.420 Hopefully, we can do a podcast on it.

00:49:12.140 Oh, other unresolved prediction that I've made about AI is that AI will consolidate wealth

00:49:18.320 not around the base models, which will become more like commodities, but around the wrapper

00:49:23.460 apps.

00:49:23.860 People are already starting to talk about that.

00:49:26.560 There have already been industry reports about the commodification of base models and that

00:49:30.480 being a risk.

00:49:31.440 Yeah.

00:49:31.940 I went out there with that when everyone thought that was crazy.

00:49:35.240 I've talked about how the super advanced AI models that will mimic human intelligence

00:49:39.220 will not necessarily do it through better base models, although intrinsically, they're

00:49:43.040 going to have those.

00:49:43.820 But it will be through a networked layer of base models at the token layer, which check out

00:49:48.440 our Fab AI.

00:49:49.200 We help you do that yourself.

00:49:50.460 You can already experiment with a lot.

00:49:51.760 So really excited about building that.

00:49:54.340 And any other thoughts you have on this, Simone?

00:49:56.720 Like, what was your...

00:49:57.480 I don't get how people can watch our show can be like, this is a silencing of free speech.

00:50:01.640 I'm like, the left did this so much worse.

00:50:04.360 It's a silencing of people who are lying.

00:50:06.600 I care a lot more about regulation of free speech on platforms like YouTube, X, Facebook,

00:50:18.800 et cetera.

00:50:19.160 Yeah, me too.

00:50:19.680 Wherever people are.

00:50:20.360 That is the only thing I'm really concerned about.

00:50:23.360 I don't really care what private companies do.

00:50:26.440 It doesn't matter that much because not that many people are watching it.

00:50:29.640 Well, YouTube does do regulation as a private company.

00:50:33.900 Well, and I would...

00:50:34.680 But it's ideologically motivated, and it's really bad.

00:50:36.680 I think the government should...

00:50:37.920 Trump, when he was elected in Plan 42 or whatever, he said he was going to put out laws...

00:50:42.880 The Trump 47 agenda, that he was going to put out laws that would stop any ideological-based

00:50:48.040 censoring.

00:50:49.420 Banning?

00:50:49.720 And the companies would have to tell you why they banned you.

00:50:51.600 And they haven't gotten to this yet.

00:50:52.900 We need to go to the White House and start banging on pans and be like, when are you going to

00:50:56.300 fill this promise, we need this promise.

00:50:57.620 Yeah, we're probably more concerned about that than family policy because there still

00:51:01.920 is censorship taking place on platforms.

00:51:04.220 Hey, actually...

00:51:05.000 Things that are truthful are being referred to as hate speech, et cetera.

00:51:08.400 But I mean, I would just say, though, it's funny to me that Kimmel thinks he can get

00:51:14.780 away with saying things like, Tyler Robinson is MAGA, when it's provably not true.

00:51:22.940 So when Candace Owens is currently in a lawsuit for saying that Emmanuel Macron's wife is not

00:51:29.700 a woman, that... 1.00

00:51:30.840 And I would point out, no one on the right has come out and said...

00:51:34.300 Yeah, no one's like, how dare you suppress Candace Owens' free speech? 1.00

00:51:38.000 And then also keep in mind how common you hear the word allegedly on YouTube, and that

00:51:43.260 is because YouTubers are aware of the fact that they can't say, God, what is it, libelous

00:51:48.440 or slanderous?

00:51:51.520 Slanderous if it's verbal, libelous.

00:51:53.300 Okay, yeah, so that they don't slander because they understand that we're legally aren't, you

00:52:00.520 know, we're liable if we say stuff that isn't true, even if there's evidence pointing to

00:52:04.960 it.

00:52:05.400 And that's the thing.

00:52:06.360 So he felt, because of Tyler Robinson's family being MAGA, that he had evidence.

00:52:11.880 But he still said something that was untrue, which is slanderous, right?

00:52:16.580 I mean, people, I'm sure, correct me in the comments about this, but I mean...

00:52:20.880 The shooter had no evidence to believe that Emmanuel Macron would.

00:52:25.500 It's not relevant because slander is usually sued by the person who you slandered, and the

00:52:30.400 shooter is not going to slander him, sue him for calling him MAGA, right?

00:52:33.740 Like, the bigger thing here is that if you are, you know, working for a private company

00:52:38.460 and you're on the news, you have a responsibility to at least try to dig up the facts and make

00:52:43.700 accurate predictions about the world.

00:52:45.660 And I think the core reason leftists are mad is they believe that what he was doing was

00:52:52.460 right.

00:52:52.980 The point of the news is to describe the world that you wish existed in their mind instead

00:52:58.320 of the world that actually is.

00:53:00.440 From their perspective, he was doing what's right.

00:53:02.820 And I think Simone lays this out pretty well here.

00:53:04.500 Just a second.

00:53:05.240 I don't know.

00:53:05.800 I mean, at this point also, truth is a team sport.

00:53:08.420 And that show was catering to an audience that doesn't want to hear...

00:53:13.400 Truth is not a team sport.

00:53:15.320 I regularly say truth isn't a team sport.

00:53:17.920 It has become a team sport for them.

00:53:18.680 Well, yeah, but welcome to our reality.

00:53:20.000 Okay, you have to face the fact that truth is treated as a team sport functionally.

00:53:28.040 Yeah, well, I think...

00:53:29.400 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:53:30.340 I, on the right, like, with Candace Owens saying what she said, and she gets sued, and

00:53:34.580 everyone's like, whatever.

00:53:35.620 Like, you said something that wasn't true.

00:53:36.800 Like, obviously, you deserve to be sued for this.

00:53:39.640 But on the left, I think they do believe truth is a team sport.

00:53:43.880 And the reason why they are so freaked out by this happening is they're like, but he said,

00:53:51.160 it doesn't matter if what he said was factually true.

00:53:53.560 It's what everyone on Blue Sky is saying.

00:53:55.660 And therefore, he gets to report it because truth is whatever everyone on Blue Sky says.

00:54:00.480 If he's punished for this, then I could be punished for this sort of stuff.

00:54:06.720 Yeah, I don't know.

00:54:08.000 I, yeah.

00:54:09.120 By the way, we got hit on Patreon for our video where we pointed out the ties between the trans

00:54:14.080 community and the shooter as like a, they're going to take down our Patreon.

00:54:17.680 And I'm telling Simone, I think we should just do a different payment.

00:54:21.200 We already are on Substack, but the vast majority of our paid subscribers, and thank you to all of

00:54:26.720 you on Substack and on Patreon, are on Patreon.

00:54:30.420 Because it's a, I like the user interface more.

00:54:32.900 I get it.

00:54:33.720 But again, this is why I'm much more concerned about free speech on these platforms.

00:54:40.300 Because one, it's where the people are.

00:54:42.660 Two, it's where normal people speak, not just privileged celebrities and writer teams.

00:54:48.180 And that's, that's what we're going to see is being, it's already the primary source of news

00:54:54.900 for, I think, the majority of at least younger Americans.

00:54:57.980 So that's what matters to me.

00:55:00.200 All right.

00:55:01.540 Love you to death around every day.

00:55:03.460 You too.

00:55:04.640 But I'm taking you for dinner anyway.

00:55:07.180 What do we have to reheat that's unfrozen?

00:55:09.300 So I have, I mean, I froze all the bun shaw meatballs.

00:55:13.460 However, what I have still in the fridge is the rest of your pho broth.

00:55:18.700 So I figured maybe toasting some of those up.

00:55:21.660 Well, okay.

00:55:23.060 If it's not too hard to do, if we're doing something from frozen, I just love that Korean 0.80

00:55:29.260 dish you make with cheese.

00:55:33.000 Okay.

00:55:33.700 And I should try to do it in that spread out pizza format you want.

00:55:39.940 All right.

00:55:40.160 I will try that.

00:55:40.900 You don't even need to spread out, just pour it on a plate, then put the mozzarella on top

00:55:45.740 of it so that you get mozzarella like throughout it.

00:55:48.520 You know what I mean?

00:55:49.040 Not like just at the top of the room.

00:55:50.220 Yeah, but you want the mozzarella melted.

00:55:52.320 Yeah.

00:55:53.060 Yeah.

00:55:53.900 That means that I have to like, I need to put it in like a pie dish and spread it out

00:55:57.740 finely and then put cheese on it or something.

00:56:00.480 Because I have to broil it or bake it to get the cheese melted.

00:56:04.060 I'm confused about the point that.

00:56:07.040 Okay.

00:56:07.320 I have to put on new cheese, Malcolm.

00:56:08.920 Hold on.

00:56:10.520 We're going to go over this because clearly you're making this harder than it needs to

00:56:13.000 be.

00:56:13.100 You put it in the microwave.

00:56:15.220 And I thought.

00:56:15.900 And then you put it in the air fryer.

00:56:18.280 That's what you did last time, right?

00:56:20.220 Yeah.

00:56:20.540 But in the same ramekin.

00:56:21.960 And the ramekins that I have are very small.

00:56:24.480 That means you're getting a very small surface of cheese, which is exactly what you asked

00:56:27.760 me to not replicate.

00:56:28.540 Right.

00:56:28.980 So.

00:56:29.480 I have to put it in a different container.

00:56:31.120 I'm not.

00:56:31.760 I can't put it in the air fryer.

00:56:34.080 It's like.

00:56:34.700 Hold on.

00:56:35.280 Let me help you with some shape rotating here.

00:56:36.800 Okay.

00:56:39.440 You put it in the ramekin.

00:56:41.060 You take it in what it's frozen in.

00:56:42.600 Okay.

00:56:43.060 It's frozen in a ramekin.

00:56:44.200 I thaw it out and it goes out of the ramekin.

00:56:46.740 Please listen.

00:56:48.060 You put that in the microwave without the cheese on top.

00:56:52.280 Yeah.

00:56:52.500 Okay.

00:56:53.360 You then take it out of the microwave and you pour it onto a plate.

00:56:57.200 You then put the cheese on top and you put that in the microwave again and in the air

00:57:02.080 fryer.

00:57:02.320 No, you, you can't put a normal plate in an air fryer.

00:57:08.200 You have to put an oven safe pan or dish or plate in an air fryer or oven.

00:57:14.320 You cannot just take, you want me to take the metal plates that you eat off of?

00:57:18.460 How's that going to go for your fingers?

00:57:20.060 Who's going to go to urgent care next?

00:57:21.620 You don't know.

00:57:24.040 I mean, as much as yes, I am a klutz with a knife sometimes, especially when pregnant,

00:57:27.800 I can't do anything right now.

00:57:29.560 You are wrong.

00:57:30.700 And I understand what I need to do and I will do it, but I will do that for your dinner

00:57:33.560 tonight.

00:57:34.080 And I love you very much.

00:57:38.840 I love you too, Simone.

00:57:40.300 So we have news people.

00:57:46.800 My wife chopped off a big chunk of her finger.

00:57:50.220 Yeah.

00:57:51.540 What happened at the hospital today?

00:57:52.900 You said they had to cauterize it without anesthetics?

00:57:55.560 Yeah.

00:57:56.100 I, well, the first, I told the first urgent care clinic.

00:57:59.640 So I first went to the hospital and they were like, go to an urgent care clinic.

00:58:02.640 And then I went to one and I told them what had happened and they said they weren't going

00:58:07.040 to see me.

00:58:07.600 They like looked really scared and they were like, no.

00:58:11.100 And then I went to the second urgent care clinic.

00:58:13.520 And after a really long wait, they, they saw me.

00:58:17.360 And after I took my bandages off, the nurse who was seeing me, who had brought out stuff

00:58:23.000 to help clean the wound, it looked like she was going to pass out. 1.00

00:58:29.340 And I was like, would you like me to clean it up?

00:58:31.580 She's like, yeah, I'll, I'll be back.

00:58:32.960 The doctor will see you soon.

00:58:34.620 And so I just sat alone in the room trying to clean off the, the, no, but then, yeah.

00:58:42.780 So everyone had told me to get, what was it?

00:58:47.400 Zinc oxide to cauterize the wound.

00:58:49.980 And I was like, oh, interesting.

00:58:51.240 So there's some kind of like ointment that must seal off wounds.

00:58:56.340 I thought it was like metaphorical cauterizing, not like you burn something to cauterize.

00:59:01.580 But no, it's just a chemical burn, but it's not a chemical burn on your skin.

00:59:08.920 It's a chemical burn inside your open wound.

00:59:12.780 Oh, she cut off part of her fingernail and everything. 0.98

00:59:14.800 It was horrible.

00:59:15.660 Yeah.

00:59:16.200 And I PSA to people when your spouse tells you, you need to be more careful with something.

00:59:23.760 Listen to them.

00:59:25.980 Cause Simone knows like regularly, I would be like, no, you can't cut it.

00:59:30.340 Like, like if I was in the room, you knew I always stopped you cutting things and was

00:59:33.240 like, okay, you have to do it.

00:59:34.740 And you would glare at me. 0.94

00:59:37.060 Like I was the biggest bully in the world.

00:59:40.020 If I, I mean, to be fair, if I cut the way that you cut, I would never prepare a meal in

00:59:45.360 time.

00:59:45.700 It would be like midnight when we ate dinner.

00:59:47.540 Well then maybe we should find ways to use things like food processors more.

00:59:50.420 Yeah.

00:59:50.840 I, I, I think I just need to use tools or chainmail gloves going for it, especially

00:59:54.720 when pregnant.

00:59:55.340 Malcolm also is always on me about tripping because I'm very clumsy and lo and behold,

01:00:00.160 what did I do just two days earlier?

01:00:01.920 I tripped and got blood all over my clothing and have a huge bruise now and everything hurts

01:00:07.300 and like show people how pregnant you are, by the way.

01:00:10.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:00:12.340 I'm, I'm very pregnant.

01:00:13.780 You can't really say pregnant.

01:00:14.840 Yes.

01:00:15.020 This is not good.

01:00:15.940 I am trying to.

01:00:16.740 So listen, listen to your spouse.

01:00:21.720 We'll get the other Halloween theming back here.

01:00:23.760 Yeah.

01:00:24.540 It's getting.

01:00:24.920 We'll get a question for you, Simone.

01:00:26.640 Yeah.

01:00:27.440 Comments on the episode today on the new theory that we have.

01:00:31.640 The one area where people want to push back is that, okay, sure.

01:00:35.080 Culture, culture, et cetera.

01:00:36.840 But genetics plays a role.

01:00:38.500 A bunch of people were like, yeah, but why are there so many basketball players of a

01:00:47.300 certain heritage and why, you know, I look, I'm saying, and I think you'll need to understand

01:00:53.560 that this is the episode on, on, on cultural carrying capacity.

01:00:56.420 That there are some conversations that if you have, they're just not productive given

01:01:02.200 the way society is structured.

01:01:03.360 Well, yeah, I mean, we don't have germline gene editing right now, so we can't be like,

01:01:07.780 okay, well then let's.

01:01:08.660 No, but it's not just that.

01:01:09.180 It's, it's, you have these conversations and then that conversation is the only thing

01:01:14.560 people remember you by, right?

01:01:15.880 Like that becomes your soundbite or something like that.

01:01:18.880 And it's just not worth engaging with those ideas when there's so many other spicy ideas

01:01:23.620 you can, and those ideas aren't even spicy anymore.

01:01:25.740 They're like the, the pumpkin latte or whatever, a pumpkin spice latte of spicy ideas.

01:01:33.060 It's like everybody effing, like is aware of the arguments on both sides.

01:01:39.060 If you are into spicy ideas, like, why do you need us to burn our careers?

01:01:43.000 Like going over them for you?

01:01:45.780 I just, it feels so indulgent to me.

01:01:51.180 Yeah.

01:01:51.980 I mean, yeah.

01:01:53.020 And also like, if you can't really do much about it, why is it interesting?

01:01:58.200 We, we, we are a podcast of action.

01:02:00.220 We believe in actionable ideas.

01:02:02.520 I don't really think it's worse.

01:02:03.760 I agree with you.

01:02:04.220 It's not really worth having conversations about things that aren't actionable.

01:02:08.640 Or to talk about an idea that is not, you know, going to lead to any, any sort of

01:02:18.220 positive, actionable change in society.

01:02:20.420 Yeah.

01:02:21.300 Yeah, exactly.

01:02:22.140 And one that all of our listeners know about anyway.

01:02:24.820 Like, you know, whatever.

01:02:27.720 I think they just want to indulge in like thinking her, her.

01:02:31.980 Her, her. 0.95

01:02:32.600 They said the naughty thing.

01:02:34.080 Yeah.

01:02:34.380 That or like, so you see my group is better or like, oh, and you see, this is why I can't

01:02:39.540 achieve anything.

01:02:40.720 This actually goes with something that we do with our episodes where it was every episode.

01:02:43.960 I try to take a position on something that's different from the position that everyone

01:02:47.520 else is taking.

01:02:48.740 And I try not.

01:02:49.680 Well, not, not arbitrarily, but you, you are interested in sharing opinions when that's

01:02:53.700 the case, because then you have something to contribute.

01:02:55.960 Yeah.

01:02:56.900 Yeah.

01:02:57.260 There's, you know, other channels you can go to if that's what you want.

01:02:59.840 Final question, Simone.

01:03:00.940 Uh, I was going to ask you.

01:03:06.400 The burning sensation doesn't go away.

01:03:08.460 If you were wondering, it just stays.

01:03:11.440 I'm so sorry.

01:03:13.920 Okay.

01:03:14.340 I'm not going to bring it up anymore.

01:03:15.580 It's just that it's not going to exist.

01:03:17.300 It's a topic.

01:03:18.400 What was your other question?

01:03:20.080 I don't know.

01:03:20.780 I don't want you to feel that way, but I'm really sorry.

01:03:24.440 It was my fault for not listening to you.

01:03:26.680 So again, PSA to people.

01:03:27.960 You were making mine dinner.

01:03:29.840 Yeah, but it turned out good.

01:03:30.800 So it was worth it.

01:03:31.860 And I wasn't downstairs.

01:03:34.000 Yeah.

01:03:34.580 Well, I feel like I abandoned you while you were doing me a favor and you hurt yourself

01:03:39.820 and everybody knows you don't want your partner to hurt themselves.

01:03:41.940 It makes me feel bad.

01:03:42.340 This is true.

01:03:42.640 I'm so glad this happened to me and not you.

01:03:45.060 What was your final question?

01:03:46.200 I'm sorry.

01:03:46.560 Oh, I was going to say, what I do love is in the romance mangas I read, one of the

01:03:52.680 protagonist types that I like the most is the very stalwart warrior woman and that is 1.00

01:04:00.620 totally you.

01:04:02.640 I want to be stalwart.

01:04:05.500 Anyway.

01:04:06.380 I may not be graceful, but I can be stalwart.

01:04:09.280 I'm excited for this episode.

01:04:10.960 Let's do it.

01:04:11.680 What are you doing?

01:04:20.800 I get my mom with the Play-Doh.

01:04:23.360 Did you eat the Play-Doh?

01:04:25.060 No.

01:04:25.560 I get my mom with the Play-Doh.

01:04:27.320 But you pretended like you were going to eat it.

01:04:28.800 Why did you do that?

01:04:30.160 I didn't eat the Play-Doh.
