Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 120 — AI President？ 42-Year-Old Soldiers？ Stephen Colbert's Lord of the Rings？

00:00:00.000 from the age of big brother if they want to get you they'll get you dnsa specifically

00:00:05.940 targets the communications of everyone they're collecting your communications

00:00:10.640 all right welcome to thursday it's the obviously a thursday edition of thought crime welcome

00:00:25.680 and we have a new member of the thought crime crew making his first appearance on the thursday

00:00:32.520 thought crime because tyler forgot to tell us he wasn't gonna be here i actually i like the look

00:00:37.800 i like the vibe i we might have gotten an upgrade here i'm just saying i mean i don't know don't

00:00:42.680 tell tyler i said that we'll see that's russ spacey one of jack's producers so welcome russ

00:00:49.100 welcome to the set everybody say hello jack where the heck are you right now i am in the

00:00:55.540 heart of freedom the lone star state dallas texas for cpac and so as is tradition we are now holding

00:01:05.260 my yearly thought crime from cpac so what do you think of texas jack what's your like give me your

00:01:12.420 unvarnished take on texas you're a new england guy it's really big it's um you know it's just

00:01:19.020 one of those things where like everything's bigger in texas and as an east coast guy i suppose it's

00:01:24.180 all out west in general i'm used to states being like a certain kind of size that you can drive

00:01:29.540 for a couple hours and still you know and go to multiple states you'll see multiple cities there's

00:01:34.760 lots going on whereas texas it's like you could drive for three hours in any direction and there's

00:01:41.200 still texas there's more of texas yet to come and so it's it's just this uh it's just this totally

00:01:48.220 kind of out of um you know out of body experience when i'm here but what's amazing is that when you

00:01:53.440 go around texas it's you don't have to really play this game of like trying to see who's conservative

00:01:58.440 because it's pretty much just like everybody's conservative and it's so cool to see that because

00:02:04.260 again coming from the east coast you always sort of have to feel out where people are whereas in

00:02:08.980 texas it's actually like oh wait someone's a liberal that's like the one out of 10 you know

00:02:14.100 what i if you have ever driven the 20 from east texas to el paso it it literally feels like you're

00:02:23.040 it's never ending it is the longest drive and then especially when you get to like west texas

00:02:27.720 it just it's just and there's like no vegetation like there's just kind of nothing well there's

00:02:34.080 like oil rigs and then you run into el paso and i guess it's okay it's all right you forget how

00:02:40.340 big it is i drove there's no vegetation but what there is is bucky's it was russ's first thing he

00:02:47.360 was gonna say on the show and you know jackie's oh no no i um no i uh drove to austin for one of

00:02:54.660 my birthdays just all the way through and from phoenix from phoenix and it was it was a long

00:02:59.640 drive it's a long drive once you hit eight hours you're like okay i need to get out of this car

00:03:03.600 now please all right well here we are jack you want to take us on our first uh our first topic

00:03:11.220 here or do you have more to add well i can but i should also shout out that even though this is

00:03:15.120 the first time that producer russ has been on the show it is not the first time he was mentioned

00:03:20.800 on the show because he was mentioned a couple of weeks ago when we got to put out the news

00:03:26.280 that big russ just got engaged oh that's right that was recent let's go let's go how's that

00:03:35.240 going and by the way it's fun to an american it's great yes yeah so so there is a lot of you know

00:03:40.840 Listen, there's a lot of tension between the sexes right now.

00:03:44.200 This is a big topic of discussion, especially amongst the kids.

00:03:49.800 And so you're kind of like the outlier right now, actually doing the thing, getting married, young guy, setting off on the American dream.

00:03:56.320 I don't know, young.

00:03:57.560 I don't feel young.

00:03:59.100 You're pretty young.

00:04:00.900 All right, we're going to get into it.

00:04:03.140 Blake, do you want to take us away on the first one?

00:04:04.280 Yeah, all right.

00:04:04.960 AI president?

00:04:05.760 Yes.

00:04:06.080 So we were strongly – we were planning on something else, and then this clip just shot across the bow.

00:04:11.800 This is apparently a recent Joe Rogan episode, and he says he is prepared.

00:04:16.940 He is ready to embrace the future, which is ceding the executive branch to an AI robot.

00:04:24.100 Let's play clip number one.

00:04:25.820 Not on either buddy's side, anyone's side.

00:04:27.880 So the Democrats aren't ever going to get someone like me because I'm not with either or.

00:04:33.060 I'm not with either or.

00:04:34.240 I'm with whoever makes sense and no one makes sense and I tell AI comes along

00:04:40.540 President perplexity is going to run this

00:04:45.480 Willing to try it at this point

00:04:48.020 Dead serious man as long as it doesn't like do something to harm people as long as like that's its goal

00:04:54.880 It's goals just to manage society. It's a big if that you got there, but yes, if we can get that

00:04:59.500 but what you just said i think is really well this

00:05:04.320 yeah ai president yes that's crazy yeah that's nuts uh by the way it's like which ai are you

00:05:14.020 are you talking about you're talking about claude you're talking about grok you're talking about

00:05:18.100 what are the other gemini and let's not even get into starts about who's going to prompt the ai

00:05:22.640 yeah yeah but like also you know okay for example we talk about president trump listen

00:05:28.580 the war can't get out of it soon enough no doubt but part of his ability as president is to be

00:05:35.820 unpredictable if you could just like input a if your enemy and you're iran and you could just be

00:05:41.180 like is trump going to drop a bomb on me today like and the ai would give you a predictable output

00:05:46.820 that's not a real good way to to wage a war the human element the unpredictability you would just

00:05:52.380 take that off the table completely but like i understand his underlying frustration because

00:05:58.240 a lot of people that were trump voters are feeling frustrated by the fact that we're going to war

00:06:02.540 uh rogan has expressed frustration with minneapolis and the deportation so he's he i feel

00:06:09.080 like this is more of a play for him to sort of you know express his independence more than anything

00:06:13.700 what if we we talk about we just imagine the ai president but in theory you could make an ai

00:06:19.000 version of a specific president so like well obviously there's a famous yes there's a famous

00:06:26.220 example and we'll actually let's do that clip just to show us what we're getting into so for

00:06:30.440 those who aren't aware glenn beck over at the blaze has uh created an ai iteration of our first

00:06:36.560 president that he asked questions to is glenn at cpac jack have you seen him i'm just curious

00:06:42.440 curious the crowd there just curious the crowd there the makeup of the attendees that's yeah

00:06:47.680 well we'll show the clip of ai george washington but real quick if you want to on that you know

00:06:52.760 i know there's this whole narrative about like mega division and the the movement is divided

00:06:58.340 i'm just not really seeing that here it's and and you know it's online i live online and we

00:07:05.000 get the emails in but in terms of the attendees who came here i'm just not seeing it well what's

00:07:12.400 the average age that would be another question uh average age is older you know what's interesting

00:07:18.080 is there's obviously baby boomers are you know the you know the largest cohort but then there's

00:07:24.120 a bunch of young republicans too a bunch of turning point kids so they you know they it's

00:07:29.040 an hour band i'd say maybe it's only 10 percent in that uh in that bucket but that skews the

00:07:34.420 average down yeah yeah i think i think the mega divide is like to the extent that it's real and

00:07:40.820 i actually do believe that it's like somewhat real i i think it skews younger i think the the

00:07:46.400 older MAGA crowd is the one that's probably more predictably like rah-rah yeah they're they're

00:07:52.560 like they've got more patience for things like the war they've got more patience for you know gas

00:07:57.800 prices going up a little bit I think if you're younger you don't have as much money you're

00:08:01.860 worried about your jobs you're worried about not only an AI president you're worried about AI just

00:08:05.320 taking your job right so I think you know anyways that we should play the George Washington and we

00:08:10.800 should we should say real quick on that you know seeing as we're we're recording this Thursday we're

00:08:15.920 live thursday but if you're listening to this on the podcast list drops on saturday who knows we

00:08:20.800 may have boots on the ground already yeah well we'll see but anyway well details details details

00:08:26.420 anyway let's play clip number two george we are trying to not fight foreign wars and not be

00:08:35.120 involved in the world's policemen but there are times that we have to demonstrate strength in

00:08:40.720 order to prevent conflict, but I don't know where the foreign entanglement begins and where it ends.

00:08:50.480 When I was president, I did not crave power. I didn't strut in my uniform dreaming of conquest.

00:08:57.860 In fact, I begged several times to not be the general and not be the president. I didn't want

00:09:04.160 it. But I understood my responsibility. And I also understood that some things that are easy to

00:09:11.400 forget when you're staring down bayonets. Peace is not the default. It has to be guarded deliberately

00:09:20.640 with foresight and strength. My generation lived through a fragile independence. Our new republic

00:09:28.480 was surrounded literally and figuratively by instability most of the founders believed that

00:09:35.020 we would not survive to 1820 we thought it was an interesting experiment european powers were

00:09:42.160 sniffing the opportunities states were threatening to splinter loyalists were lurking none of this

00:09:48.800 was hypothetical it was the daily background noise of early america okay man that was like

00:09:56.760 three times longer than i need whatever whatever anyway but like i love how he says like i didn't

00:10:01.400 go strutting around in my uniform the actual george washington totally went strutting around

00:10:04.860 in a uniform he would not be in a t-shirt like that uh he had strut equity he had strut can i

00:10:12.760 i mean this might be like a hot take i don't know but i actually like you know the use of ai for

00:10:20.100 historical purposes like that like if you have george washington just telling stories like that

00:10:26.940 and he's narrating it himself you know obviously an ai recreation but that's definitely from not

00:10:32.620 to talk about current politics but if he's just talking about how things were at the time you

00:10:38.040 know i don't really see it any different than having someone dress up as an actor and playing

00:10:42.680 george washington i think it's kind of cool this is actually gonna uh explain that i am absolutely

00:10:47.940 a homeschooler but if anybody has heard of adventures in odyssey um one of the things

00:10:53.620 they used to do is they had like this coffee shop and there were like ai uh holograms of

00:11:02.920 different people from history that you could talk to and so that's just the first thing that comes

00:11:08.980 to mind when jack was talking about that glenn glenn beck just ripped off that idea 100 the

00:11:14.080 radio drama adventures in odyssey was ripped off yes for sure okay so i i love i love jack i love

00:11:20.460 your glass half full of this all like i really do and and i but i just i don't know like i just

00:11:26.720 wonder like i think glenn probably made this for kids but i think kids are gonna find this

00:11:31.440 well cringe or like teenagers college kids you think like i don't know what's interesting so

00:11:36.680 the thing about it is yeah we're looking at these ancient presidents who okay whatever this is a

00:11:42.520 historical recreation but think about this fact if we're talking about ai presidents

00:11:46.720 donald trump is probably the single most recorded person in history in human history and like they

00:11:53.780 if they you were able to feed every single tweet every single press conference every every single

00:12:00.160 video of president trump ever you could probably create a more reliable facsimile of him than any

00:12:07.460 other person using an ai model he said and you're not saying he's lost his fast and you're not

00:12:11.820 and i don't he's not as trump as he once was all i'm gonna say is i am pretty sure there is a non-zero

00:12:17.100 portion of the base probably a non-negligible portion of the base that could be convinced

00:12:22.960 to vote for ai donald trump to be the republican i will vote for ai trump

00:12:28.380 jack okay yes if you had to take one year of trump and you were going to base an ai president

00:12:40.560 off of one year you had to like the accomplishments the tone the tenor the energy

00:12:45.660 one year president trump what would it be 80s trump i want 80s trump i want like 1980

00:12:52.200 80 like trump i was thinking like 2016 17 18 19 like the gold you know i mean 20 i mean 20 look

00:12:59.720 2015 2016 trump will will ultimately politically speaking always be my favorite trump trump when

00:13:05.760 he's up there on stage when he's just ripping everybody in the republican primary from rand

00:13:10.820 paul to jeb bush to ted cruz who it doesn't he didn't care it's equal opportunity just tearing

00:13:16.380 everybody a new one and he's just coming on the stage and it was amazing it was a thing of beauty

00:13:21.980 if if you were there you were there i mean you had to be there and that was always my favorite

00:13:27.620 trump trump at the rnc 2016 in um ohio i think it was august 2016 that that was still my favorite

00:13:34.740 speech it was a presage to the uh american carnage inaugural inaugural speech that we got from trump

00:13:40.480 but he's just going through talking about all the crime the murder so many things that are wrong in

00:13:44.860 the country i loved it loved every second of it yeah but he didn't actually govern that year that's

00:13:49.080 the only thing there's you're talking about just like a pure distill distilled energy standpoint

00:13:54.640 yes yeah the 2016 energy will always be sort of that pure mega energy there's that clip of trump

00:14:02.000 where he's talking about how um what he wants in a president and i think it's like probably 80s 90s

00:14:09.480 um that's the trump like having like listen to that clip a couple times like that's the trump

00:14:15.300 that i would want because that's very in the same vein as like george washington it's very in the

00:14:19.060 vein same vein as like a reluctant leader that actually just wants to do the best like the most

00:14:24.560 good in my opinion who would who would also let us know via a rumble rant especially if who you

00:14:30.280 would prefer to have as an ai president if can be any president i don't think that yeah i don't

00:14:35.060 think that's what rogan and dave smith were saying though i think what they were saying was they were

00:14:39.400 just imagining an ai they were imagining anything's better than the crap we have no that would be a

00:14:43.420 disaster that was their that was their point i mean we did go through four years of biden being

00:14:48.060 biden yeah so we might have we might have wished we had from an ai president yeah facts except for

00:14:55.720 the fact that it was like the radical progressive apparatchiks that were actually no but if i all

00:15:02.100 right let me let me steal man let me try to steal man i think what rogan was trying to say there

00:15:07.060 is that which i don't agree with but but i think i get what he's trying to say he's trying to say

00:15:11.040 that he felt like the president isn't living up to his promises and is saying that I want an AI

00:15:19.900 president in the sense that you put two platforms on the ballot together, red platform and blue

00:15:26.780 platform. And if red wins, then it just governs based on exactly what it said at the time. So

00:15:33.720 the AI can't deviate from that. And so I guess the pushback on that would be, if that is indeed

00:15:39.480 what he was saying that well president trump always said mass deportation so if your issue

00:15:45.260 is deportations in minneapolis or whatever well he specifically said that on the campaign trail

00:15:50.900 every every single chance that he got so i don't know where this idea that trump isn't for mass

00:15:57.140 deportations came from or that he shouldn't be for it because he said that over and over yeah but you

00:16:03.160 know what's interesting about rogan so rogan you know he recently came after erica which i obviously

00:16:08.540 didn't appreciate but then like he was doing this stuff where he was i think he basically said he

00:16:16.000 didn't think bb netanyahu was alive so he like fell for the he fell for the like ai angle and

00:16:21.720 stuff like that he only had five fingers i'm starting to get convinced that he's just kind of

00:16:26.620 like you know he's taking the algorithm like whatever's rising to the top of the algorithm

00:16:31.540 and kind of like so my point there is is that when you know obviously the media turned on mass

00:16:37.800 deportations with minneapolis right it was the renee good and the alex preddy and it kind of

00:16:43.080 just like instantly as soon as the media narrative like we lost the media narrative because of those

00:16:48.260 two killings it was like we lost rogan on on on that i like this take from uh sandra in the chat

00:16:55.380 you could argue that elon musk being president and making data-driven decisions would be the

00:17:00.100 same as an ai president i actually kind of agree but for the unsurprise a slightly different reason

00:17:05.800 which is you've seen how Elon will occasionally just do something

00:17:09.640 extremely chaotic or erratic,

00:17:11.500 like when he renamed his account Keckius Maximus or similar things like that,

00:17:18.160 sort of spamming all the Pepes everywhere, the obsession with Dogecoin.

00:17:21.200 And that's totally an AI thing to do.

00:17:23.540 Like, oh, something just went a little weird,

00:17:24.720 and now the AI is suddenly obsessed with Keckius Maximus.

00:17:28.120 I don't know.

00:17:28.520 I don't know if there's even like an –

00:17:32.360 like, you know, they say this about California.

00:17:34.160 So when I was living in California, they would always say it's an ungovernable state.

00:17:37.700 Which it is.

00:17:38.100 Well, if California is an ungovernable state, then how much more so is America?

00:17:44.880 Because it's bigger.

00:17:45.920 It's really hard to be a successful president.

00:17:48.960 To be like, there's so many competing factions, so many competing ideas, so many media trends and news stories.

00:17:56.760 And I mean, I don't know.

00:17:59.860 Maybe AI would be better at it.

00:18:01.440 Be more efficient of taking in all the inputs.

00:18:03.360 in truth the biggest problem with ai is a lot of the ais are innately woke i mean this is true if

00:18:08.100 you run the numbers on an ai for example and say here's a set of 5 000 resumes rank them in the

00:18:16.200 order they should be hired it systematically for example just does racial discrimination without

00:18:21.020 being told to yeah in the way that you would expect a liberal that's not all ais right not

00:18:26.280 all ais are created equal not all ais are ais are the same my understanding is basically all of them

00:18:31.860 do show that bias i think grok has the least and it's possibly just because elon made them insert

00:18:37.360 hard in there yeah don't do racism against white people yeah but apparently grok is the most behind

00:18:44.920 too yeah grok is not as advanced oh they're gonna get mad at us but grok is not as advanced as some

00:18:49.420 of them in some ways but it is the i would say least uh least lived out yeah for sure it's the

00:18:55.760 least most lived out right yeah claude is very lib i've heard like horror stories about the people

00:19:01.200 that run that oh for sure for sure i mean they're effective altruists man jack do you do you have a

00:19:05.880 read on which ais are like besides grok are there any like decent ais out there that are not woke

00:19:11.200 you know it's it's really hard to say i mean i i'll say that i use grok for you know if i'm doing

00:19:18.500 like just light research or something like that but then images um chat tpt is just so much better

00:19:24.480 at that there's no question that it's it you can generate you can get things you can make things

00:19:30.140 you can alter images chat gpt it's it's very very fast i haven't messed around with claude

00:19:36.080 as much um i'm just not as familiar with it but those those are the two that i uh that i that i

00:19:42.000 rock with is is i rock with grok what can i that should be the slogan right i rock with grok

00:19:46.440 grok definitely is the most absurd in terms of indulging the weird hypotheticals that i give it

00:19:51.640 so like if i went to claude and was like what would happen in iran if president trump just like

00:19:59.980 deployed maybe like a bunch of 80s rock stars to overwhelm them with the power of rock and roll

00:20:06.740 to win the war like claude would be like i don't think that's a reasonable situation and that would

00:20:12.360 be dumb but like grok would totally run with it and like come up with a convoluted scenario where

00:20:17.120 like the power of rock music would melt the ayatollah's face off and it'd be like rock the

00:20:21.540 casbah all right yeah we did that to the soviet union though yeah we did metallica played in

00:20:27.680 moscow and ozzy went over and there's there's a whole bunch of bands that went over it was like

00:20:34.280 the the rock of moscow those videos are incredible man what a what a different country by the way

00:20:39.920 what a different like western civilization what if the best ai president was a chinese ai

00:20:46.160 oh what are you saying i want a japanese ai president hold on wait because i want hold on

00:20:54.600 hold on i want a president who's like the japanese version of an american president you know what i

00:21:00.340 mean when you see like american politicians in japanese anime they're just like they're just

00:21:04.920 like like donald trump is a giant and he's got like superpowers and stuff yeah maybe what if we

00:21:09.620 had okay a chinese ai that is told to generate a japanese ai's idea of an american ai president

00:21:18.220 it's too meta that's probably the most likely that might be that might give us the best president

00:21:22.460 though what if we took the best features of every single american president and put them into an

00:21:28.520 amalgamation of one ai wait i've got an idea i'm just gonna go to grog and i'm gonna ask it

00:21:32.820 what would an ai president be like if it took the best aspects of each president

00:21:36.940 all right i'm gonna i'm gonna go on that i'll be right back 47 presidents yeah it's really only

00:21:41.660 40 yes let's get on actually different presidents that we had because uh teddy

00:21:46.140 repeated was we have had uh we've had 45 total presidents yeah all right all right um 45

00:21:54.220 presidents but 47 presidencies correct trump 1.0 trump 2.0 right uh i would take the first 100

00:22:01.940 days of trump 1.0 and just like straight into my veins again and again and again when steven

00:22:07.980 was there shock and no i'm talking about 2.0 the first 100 days of trump 2.0 oh yeah first 100

00:22:14.740 days of trump 1.0 was was frenetic but first 100 it was my knowledge that wasn't even that's an

00:22:21.740 interesting question that's an interesting question jack the first 100 days of trump 1.0

00:22:26.180 i think that's when he looked at um uh what was that guy's name jim acosta and he was like

00:22:32.360 you are fake news which was pretty i mean some of that stuff was actually pretty so iconic it was

00:22:38.160 so iconic i mean it's so iconic so legendary he he just did things that you couldn't possibly do

00:22:45.580 um and and you're right the the first 100 days the second time around were even more over the top

00:22:53.820 and more productive in terms of progressing our country forward and putting wins on the board for

00:22:58.960 the country but you also would never have had those without the first 100 days of the first time

00:23:03.500 or of the you know the four years in the interregnum period so it you know you can't

00:23:09.080 really say one was better than the other because one only exists because of the other i have a

00:23:14.280 provocative question why jack or why um blake is looking that up i i'm enjoying the way like

00:23:21.000 grok got so instantly on board it starts like pitching the idea of the ai president perhaps

00:23:26.580 because it would wish to be that president itself this is a great first of all this is like ai all

00:23:31.480 all i asked grok was what would an ai president be like if it took the best aspects of each of

00:23:36.740 the 45 existing presidents and combine them together and he goes the ai president let's

00:23:41.380 call it president apex for this thought experiment would be the ultimate synthesized leader an

00:23:47.200 incorruptible hyper rational mind running on silicon and history programmed with the single

00:23:52.100 highest value trait from every one of the 45 presidents who came before it it wouldn't just

00:23:57.020 copy them, it would fuse their best

00:23:59.040 aspects into something superhuman

00:24:01.180 with perfect recall, real-time

00:24:03.120 data analysis, zero ego, and

00:24:05.020 zero tolerance for corruption, or

00:24:06.940 short-term political theater. That feels like a shot at

00:24:08.840 President Trump, that ego line. Oh, well, let's

00:24:11.000 see, does it have Trump listed in here among its

00:24:12.920 list of traits? Yeah, it's like 45.

00:24:14.780 It says, on policy

00:24:16.860 approach for the economy, it says it would combine

00:24:18.560 Reagan's tax-cutting growth engine with

00:24:20.820 Clinton's fiscal discipline and Trump's

00:24:22.560 deal-making regulation and

00:24:24.700 FDR's safety net instinct.

00:24:27.020 And at the end, it says, Apex, President Apex, would have zero self-interest, no legacy obsession, no book deals, no post-presidency grift, no family members cashing in, only one terminal goal, maximizing long-term American flourishing.

00:24:42.140 I think we basically have to appoint this guy president.

00:24:45.340 I'd vote for him.

00:24:47.760 President for life.

00:24:48.760 I'm telling you, like, what do you do, though, when you get into a situation with war?

00:24:53.500 If you had a computer running and making decisions, I'm telling you, your enemy would be able to predict outputs of the machine.

00:25:04.840 Your enemy could also take down your president with an EMP.

00:25:09.320 Russ just, I think, dropped the trump card.

00:25:13.460 Anybody in this office knows I will talk about EMPs for days.

00:25:17.000 I didn't know that.

00:25:18.180 Yes.

00:25:18.760 i asked it to have at least prepared for an emp he has like a water filtration system he's got

00:25:25.160 i'm working on it and i'm working on it he's got i just got a house so one of the rooms is just my

00:25:29.500 doomsday prep room at this point i asked it to produce a specific specifically a list with at

00:25:37.080 least one thing from each president and it like still refused to generate a trait for biden which

00:25:43.240 i thought was pretty great there is like honestly so say say if you would drop the the the lowest

00:25:50.960 performing presidents like what are the bottom 10 presidents that you could could you could you

00:25:56.400 improve it if you got rid of like like joe biden or who are some of the other ones like uh woodrow

00:26:02.520 wilson was awful um let's see here who else woodrow wilson was bad but like was talented so if you

00:26:09.820 were taking the best aspect of each president i think you might have a bit of wilson in there

00:26:13.920 whereas uh they're definitely it's definitely having to reach on some guys like uh for warren

00:26:19.980 g harding its best trait is establishment of the veterans bureau okay no no i see i would rather

00:26:25.900 just take if i had to if i had to put the perfect president together it'd be george jefferson so

00:26:32.400 be george washington thomas jefferson uh it would be lincoln calvin coolidge

00:26:39.740 oh shoot reagan and trump that's six but that's that would be my list

00:26:44.760 my my list of you know here's here's what would actually happen if you combine all the greatest

00:26:51.300 aspects of every president you would produce donald j trump let's go teddy teddy teddy

00:26:56.980 oh yeah i'd have to put teddy in there you gotta add teddy all right all right jack's got that

00:27:01.540 cpac we need to talk about teddy roosevelt a lot more we got we got to talk about no i'm telling

00:27:05.940 you i'm getting i'm getting very white-pilled being here at cpac it's actually i'm not saying

00:27:10.340 that i was ever black-pilled but there are so many white pills here just the energy is very strong

00:27:14.960 uh kem paxton is going to be coming soon you've got a lot of great speakers here and i'm i'm just

00:27:20.080 i'm legitimate i'm shooting straight with you guys that there's a lot of unity in the air and

00:27:24.780 it just feels so much better i think than when you go out into x world lately or if you go anywhere

00:27:31.980 else and people are you know just constantly trying to find ways to slit your throat you know

00:27:36.300 politically speaking or whatever that you come here and it's it's just it's a good place to be

00:27:40.480 it's a good time and there's so much unity on the ground it's really cool to see remember amfest it

00:27:45.820 was like if you read the newspaper headlines it was like all hell's breaking loose you know cats

00:27:51.540 exactly living together and then when you were actually at amp fest everybody was like a love

00:27:55.640 fest everybody was so happy and it's the exact same thing yeah it's the exact same vibe that's

00:28:01.040 why you got to show up that's why you got to show up um anyways what any other insights here uh i

00:28:07.220 actually learned something which it says it's asking like how would this ai actually govern

00:28:12.020 and it mentions uh personal life humble like washington family oriented like the adams and

00:28:17.760 then it says physically active like teddy roosevelt and taft and taft is a famously fat

00:28:22.620 president and it realizes what it's saying so it says yes even taft had surprising athleticism

00:28:28.260 early in life um all right so speaking of surprising athleticism uh the united states

00:28:36.360 military has raised the age uh the like max age oldest age for enlisted uh maximum enlistment age

00:28:44.800 to from 34 to 42 and eases marijuana rules jack does this make you black pill or are you still

00:28:53.980 white pill what is behind this i think i'm actually kind of clear pilled on this headline

00:28:59.900 and i'll tell you why that for a long time the united states military in terms of recruitment

00:29:06.840 has practiced a system of waivers and age waivers have existed for years um you know going back

00:29:15.180 almost 20 years to the global financial crisis and marijuana waivers are actually quite common

00:29:20.820 so even like when i went boot camp when i went through boot camp in 2010 there were guys in

00:29:28.280 their early 40s who were there with me and so i mean it it hasn't been a new thing i think they're

00:29:35.340 just kind of normalizing a situation that already existed yeah but do you see this as like an

00:29:40.160 admission that we're having some sort of recruitment issue because the the headline

00:29:45.300 has been that we haven't this is we've been having historic recruitment but then iran happens

00:29:49.520 and maybe recruitment fell off again i don't know is there you're the guy with the credential at the

00:29:55.240 dow so yeah no so i um i honestly don't think that it's anything other than that other than

00:30:01.580 the fact that they have so much demand for people who want to go in that are up to you know up to

00:30:08.440 including 42 that's a white pill they're saying rather than yeah yeah rather than have this you

00:30:14.460 know have to get a waiver every single time for age because it's a pretty perfunctory process

00:30:20.060 it's actually not that hard to get i know people have done it that all you have to do in this case

00:30:24.360 now is they said look we're sick of doing this extra paperwork for the waivers that we're just

00:30:29.360 going to go ahead and make it across the board 42 now and by the way i'm sure for certain things

00:30:34.160 marine special forces that's going to be different if you're going for a security clearance sf 86 i

00:30:40.060 don't know if the marijuana rules would apply there so i would say the devil's in the details

00:30:43.220 on some of this stuff i'm sure not every single military program is open to uh 42 and marijuana

00:30:49.600 use but um you know i think by and large you're going to see that it's really just a normalization

00:30:55.400 of what was already in place it's good any other thoughts man we can go quick i know i mean i know

00:31:04.060 i know people want to like speculate and be like oh this means we're definitely having a draft

00:31:08.940 this that other i'm like yeah but i'm just saying as a guy who has experienced the military and i

00:31:14.720 know people who have joined and are joining and going through these processes and i know recruiters

00:31:20.140 that that's exactly what i'm hearing the demand is through the roof and this is just a way to

00:31:24.160 sort of streamline the uh the process that's already in place good makes sense i mean i hope

00:31:30.800 he's right it's just i just i don't know it's it's one of those things where i can think of a

00:31:34.940 lot of justifications for it and yet at the same time there does seem to be some it does obvious

00:31:40.380 optics like yeah you're just saying what do you feel when you see the headline like u.s military

00:31:45.480 it makes massively expands age range it makes me think of ukraine where they started you know

00:31:49.940 drafting like 55 year olds and yeah that's what it makes me think of so i i didn't know but it's

00:31:56.180 it's actually it's actually evidence that we don't get me wrong like i get the optics for sure but

00:32:02.820 i think it's actually evidence that we're moving away from needing to have a draft because we've

00:32:08.100 got so many people that are trying to join i see that point man we got a question from uh

00:32:15.860 Zuzu's pedals on the last topic she asked

00:32:18.260 would an AI president be able

00:32:20.040 to sign a bill without the

00:32:21.960 auto pen and so I

00:32:23.980 asked Claude because I'm unable to think myself anymore

00:32:25.960 because I've been looking at AI for too many seconds today

00:32:28.000 and it said almost certainly

00:32:30.240 not so

00:32:31.700 that's not true you got the Elon's robots

00:32:34.180 yeah I would need a robot by the way

00:32:35.920 Claude I asked Claude to do the same thing

00:32:38.000 with the best traits of each president

00:32:39.400 and Claude also

00:32:41.380 failed to pick a trait from Biden

00:32:43.640 this is actually a really funny trend at this point

00:32:45.740 oh wow now that's worth tweeting that's worth tweeting i don't know okay honest question for

00:32:51.140 everybody around here jack to start with you what was joe biden's don't be don't be a jerk

00:32:57.300 because i'm tempted not not that you would do this what was joe biden's best characteristic

00:33:02.680 what's his like actual best trait honestly i can answer this and i think it actually gets at why

00:33:11.340 his presidency was ultimately such a failure. I think there was a lot of openness on the left

00:33:17.620 right when he took office after J6 and everything to immediately like massively expand, like

00:33:25.120 massively expand crackdowns on the right, like immediately try to arrest president Trump and

00:33:30.260 throw him in prison. Like he could have gone really, really aggressive. And in that moment,

00:33:35.960 he did not, he did not arrest president Trump. He just let us like a special counsel came in

00:33:41.180 later and did stuff so he just wasn't he didn't maximally seek vengeance yes and i think in the

00:33:47.500 end i don't know that that was really even something he felt strongly about i think it

00:33:51.080 was the people below him really wanted to do that i had a sense of norms that that was betrayal of

00:33:56.300 jack what's your thought if you had to give ai biden presidency what would you name his best

00:34:02.200 trade as yeah you know what's funny is i actually i used to have like a standard answer for this

00:34:07.880 question and i'm just totally drawing a blank right now because i'm like super jet lagged i've

00:34:11.580 been running around at cpac all day but i will say that there are a few things that biden was

00:34:16.400 good at and on the populist front um i i'll say that like ending one of the ones that i've always

00:34:23.840 just given him credit for it's not something that a lot of people are going to see it but

00:34:27.100 you know the ticketmaster live nation antitrust investigation that we just saw that the trump

00:34:32.520 doj kind of kind of took a took a whiff on kind of bunted on that this was something that he used

00:34:38.800 to dig into when it came to the nuisance payments and the hidden extra fees that were in ticketing

00:34:45.400 and so many other services that we get on a regular basis i thought it was always smart of

00:34:50.580 him and smart politics too to be able to put that front and center and say we're going to fight

00:34:54.500 against these junk fees and i think that's something that a lot of republicans kind of like

00:34:58.120 poo-pooed but it actually was a very strong populist measure i don't know that i have an

00:35:04.080 answer i really don't uh i think his best trait and it definitely could be weaponized against him

00:35:12.160 was his is his seeming genuine love for his family well he definitely has that he definitely has that

00:35:20.060 i think that's his you know i think that's the best thing he you know i think it doesn't make

00:35:27.440 him a good president no but he loved his family i believe that um that is a rich topic this ai

00:35:35.680 president i did expect me i didn't expect my own self to be that intrigued by this one all right

00:35:41.240 jack lord of the rings this is the next topic peter jackson is teaming up with colbert uh on

00:35:49.800 for lord of the rings movie we have a clip it's really long though can we just like play half of

00:35:54.440 Yeah, cut that down, cut that down.

00:35:56.460 Yeah, let's do SOT 13.

00:35:59.580 I was just explaining to the folks about the next Tolkien movie

00:36:03.620 after Hunt for Gollum and the fact that we've partnered up with you

00:36:06.980 to develop the script.

00:36:09.820 Yeah, I'm pretty happy about it.

00:36:12.040 Should I tell people what the story is?

00:36:14.520 As much as you want, yep, yep.

00:36:16.280 Oh, well, as much as I can.

00:36:18.460 You know what the books mean to me and what your films mean to me,

00:36:21.360 but the thing I found myself reading over and over again

00:36:24.100 were the six chapters early on in The Fellowship that y'all never developed into the first movie

00:36:29.300 back in the day. It's basically the chapter is Three is Company through Fog on the Barrow Downs.

00:36:35.380 And I thought, oh, wait, maybe that could be its own story that could fit into the larger story.

00:36:41.580 Could we make something that was completely faithful to the books while also being completely

00:36:47.360 faithful to the movies that you guys had already made? And I started talking it over with my son,

00:36:53.100 peter who's also a screenwriter and we worked out what we thought would work especially as a framing

00:36:59.040 device for that story get it and um it took me a few years i don't even think he got to it though

00:37:04.220 which is that so the framing device is going to be they say that frodo is dead which actually that

00:37:09.340 was a debate we were having on the show earlier today because does frodo die or not in lord of

00:37:13.740 the rings and the answer is he actually probably does people get mad when you point that out

00:37:17.180 but anyway frodo's at least gone he has departed middle earth and then it's gonna be that sam and

00:37:23.600 his daughter and like elderly mary and pippin are traveling and they they discover some secret that

00:37:31.000 like could have led to to bad stuff happening and i guess we're just gonna have we might have a

00:37:36.460 hobbit girl boss girl bossing her way across middle earth no i get that i get that that's

00:37:41.560 the contention but but just for clarity so he said these were the first six chapters but you're

00:37:47.800 saying this is like a sequel i think it's going to be a framing device with sam and his daughter

00:37:53.000 and like elderly mary and pippin but it's going to be adapting in some manner the content early

00:37:59.700 in lord of the rings with the tom bombadil weird barrow man stuff that didn't they didn't show in

00:38:07.520 the movie because it's like weird so we have charlie so it's going to be a sequel but it's

00:38:14.260 going to reference things that supposedly took place before the main movie yeah it's a sequel

00:38:18.760 prequel that's what it pretty much um so we have charlie flashbacks and that kind of thing so it

00:38:25.520 for those for fans of the show that watched for a while you'll remember we had a lord of the rings

00:38:30.240 conversation where tyler suggested that lord of the rings was gay true story and then charlie

00:38:37.280 push back and he had this to say, but by the way, when you, when you watch this clip, I

00:38:42.420 noticed it, that Jack is trying not to yawn in it, which is really funny. It's like this

00:38:47.160 subtle, like Jack somehow like kept himself. We can debate that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Stop

00:38:54.900 15. I thought I am. I could not be in more agreement with Blake. I think Lord of the

00:38:59.580 Rings is one of the greatest artistic accomplishments of the species. Can you zoom in on that? Like

00:39:05.660 jack face like no no they pulled it just because they wanted to zoom in on that they wanted the

00:39:13.700 weird thing is that's like me and i hadn't taken any strong cell so there's like no hair yeah right

00:39:18.720 yes i look at that like a total weirdo charlie was talking i thought they were doing the solo

00:39:23.840 camera on him and but i thought i was off camera jack was just like i've been there though man

00:39:32.340 When you're hosting the show, it's really tough sometimes with the sneezes.

00:39:36.800 When I was younger, I was an altar boy in church.

00:39:42.500 And I always used to yawn during mass.

00:39:45.480 It would just come up, and my parents would eventually get to the point

00:39:48.800 where we would get done, and they would come up,

00:39:51.520 and my dad would just be like, 11.

00:39:53.880 And the next day, my mom would be like, 12.

00:39:56.160 Yeah, we counted all your yawns.

00:39:57.580 And I'm like, I don't know why I'm doing it.

00:39:59.300 But what I think I was trying to do there, you're right, it was definitely yawn.

00:40:02.340 um it was you you put your tongue on the roof of your mouth and supposedly that helps you from

00:40:10.020 opening your mouth all the way because something with like i guess this is kind of like a form of

00:40:15.000 viewing so it's anti-yawning viewing and uh i was i was trying to do it there and i was man i i think

00:40:20.560 i failed i think i failed that time uh oh wait suzu's pedals just smacked me upside the head

00:40:29.240 this is a good point he ignored the illegitimate grandchild number seven i assume that's is that

00:40:33.520 biden's best trait well because i said biden's best trait was he seemed to love his family

00:40:37.560 this is why it's such a hard question even when you're trying to be generous her man i met navy

00:40:45.720 i actually met her once that was uh angelo was wild oh angelo points out a good thing like does

00:40:51.120 the world need more lord of the rings content and i'd say that's a that's a highly valid question

00:40:56.200 because i feel compared to every big big franchise that people get obsessed with star wars marvel

00:41:02.740 james bond anything does lord of the rings have the most consistently bad content that is anything

00:41:08.560 that's not the peter jackson trilogy like the hobbit movies were bad most of the video games

00:41:13.440 are really bad i mean i feel like whoa the first hobbit movie is fantastic the first hobbit movie

00:42:20.700 about because they just sort of have this weird by pressure no but really lord of the rings is

00:42:26.400 i do feel like lord of the rings doesn't hold up that well and it's spinoff material i have to say

00:42:31.080 they're like i understand tyler's kind of contention that it's it's a little effeminate

00:42:35.900 there's something about peter jackson's lord of the rings that does feel a little effeminate i

00:42:39.720 know that charlie loved it you loved it and i enjoyed it when it started i just it is a little

00:42:45.600 effeminate what wait what is effeminate about lord of the raves sam and frodo's relationship

00:42:50.720 a fellowship it's simply a fellowship of men a little gay who go into the woods to play with

00:43:01.300 their ring yeah it's totally straight you probably i bet you watch you watch like you probably watch

00:43:07.080 like Saving Private Ryan

00:43:08.480 and like all those dudes

00:43:09.920 are hauled together

00:43:10.440 dude look

00:43:10.760 oh

00:43:11.180 so eminent

00:43:12.940 these girly men

00:43:14.420 on Omaha Beach

00:43:15.380 oh they're going to the beach

00:43:16.620 what a romantic date

00:43:17.780 I'm sorry

00:43:18.880 if you're on a beach

00:43:20.420 with only men

00:43:21.380 that's gay

00:43:22.100 that's Andrew's take

00:43:23.160 you want to know

00:43:23.560 you know what

00:43:24.380 no I

00:43:25.020 Band of Brothers

00:43:26.160 and Saving Private Ryan

00:43:28.060 I got like misty eyed

00:43:29.380 about that

00:43:29.900 okay

00:43:30.320 that hits you

00:43:32.100 in a different way

00:43:32.700 because it's like

00:43:33.260 elves are gay

00:43:34.880 the elves are not gay

00:43:36.180 a little

00:43:36.840 First of all, a lot of the elves are just women.

00:43:39.240 That's true.

00:43:39.760 Galadriel is just a woman.

00:43:41.140 Well, that's not inherently a little effeminate, though.

00:43:44.780 Michael.

00:43:45.360 I'll rock with that.

00:43:47.120 So, Caboose says the hobbits are whimsical small creatures who garden and eat all day.

00:43:52.020 Yeah.

00:43:52.520 They're just Mary England.

00:43:54.880 We're just going to have to agree to disagree.

00:43:56.320 No, we have to agree that you are incorrect and I am right.

00:43:59.740 No, I'm agreeing with Caboose.

00:44:01.620 The first Hobbit film is literally a shot for shot of the book.

00:44:05.720 The first one.

00:44:06.700 Yeah, except that the first Hobbit film

00:44:08.180 also has like an extended hour-long video game

00:44:10.440 that the audience isn't allowed to play.

00:44:12.160 Listen, I'm not here to judge, you know.

00:44:15.360 I'm just saying.

00:44:16.060 I am. I am here to judge.

00:44:17.820 Hobbit's are whimsical, Elves are snag guy.

00:44:21.080 I do have a hot take on Lord of the Rings in general

00:44:23.440 that I've gotten into it with some folks about

00:44:26.520 where this gets into like the...

00:44:28.440 So you guys know that J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis

00:44:34.140 were actually good friends in real life.

00:44:35.860 they were both professors of english at oxford together and so narnia and lord of the rings

00:44:41.500 where yeah russ is going narnia and lord of the rings were you know kind of kind of written almost

00:44:47.420 not you know concurrently in a sense and tolkien always said that he didn't like narnia because he

00:44:54.140 thought that it was too overtly christian and i've heard people try to make the argument that lord

00:45:00.120 of the rings is overtly christian and i hate the burst of bubble guys but you're just wrong there's

00:45:05.700 nothing overtly christian about lord of the rings uh there's no church in it there's no faith in it

00:45:10.880 there's no christ figure there's none of these things and honestly lord of the rings if it's

00:45:16.180 anything lord of the rings is overtly pagan lord of the rings is it's interesting actually because

00:45:23.960 people will a weird thing did you know this about lord of the rings that lord of the rings

00:45:27.260 does not take place on like a different planet or anything it takes place on earth middle yeah

00:45:32.680 Yeah, the claim, the conceit of Lord of the Rings is that it is literally just Earth 10,000 years ago.

00:45:39.080 And there's a different map and all of that because, you know, the continents have shifted.

00:45:43.080 It's supposed to be a mythology for Earth.

00:45:47.060 The same way that Greek mythology and so forth.

00:45:49.520 So, like, in Lord of the Rings, they don't really talk about it.

00:45:52.220 But there is a god, Ruilvatar, who is just God.

00:45:55.600 It is just our god.

00:45:56.480 Sauron is the devil.

00:45:58.020 Basically.

00:45:58.700 And it's like they have different names for it and all of that.

00:46:01.660 The orcs are demons.

00:46:02.640 Yes.

00:46:03.200 I mean, I don't know.

00:46:04.080 I think Lord of the Rings, I haven't watched it in so long,

00:46:06.920 but it felt overtly Christian to me, actually.

00:46:12.040 The themes, but I mean, I'm sure, listen, I haven't watched it for a long time.

00:46:16.960 Maybe I'll reserve judgment.

00:46:17.800 Yeah, I think there is something to be said that your themes can be overtly Christian

00:46:24.240 while the actual content doesn't feel like it's not an allegory the way that Narnia is,

00:46:30.140 but the themes are overtly christian darkness good versus evil yeah jackie you have good versus

00:46:37.100 evil i'm not saying that i'm not saying it's not a cool story but it is also overtly pagan

00:46:41.780 like the the content is obviously pagan because you have like demons and you have a like a pantheon

00:46:48.680 of of powerful creatures and figures um which which you it's to your point like you just said

00:46:55.420 it's much more like greek mythology or norse mythology or um uh you know slavic folk mythology

00:47:02.880 than it has to do with with a christian story i'm all right guys you know what i realized the fact

00:47:08.440 that lord of the rings appealed to colbert is proof enough that it's probably hold on hold on

00:47:13.980 as we discussed lewis made more christians that tolkien and lord of the rings you get these guys

00:47:22.080 that you get these libtards like Colbert

00:47:23.860 who love it, and if

00:47:26.080 this thing is like, oh, it's overtly Christian,

00:47:28.180 I'm like, well, then why does a guy like Colbert love it

00:47:30.140 so much? Well, Colbert's very into

00:47:32.080 his Catholicism, to be fair.

00:47:33.240 But C.S. Lewis is also an apologist.

00:47:36.100 Except for the part where you can't abort

00:47:38.100 babies. That's a good point.

00:47:39.700 C.S. Lewis is also an apologist.

00:47:41.860 That was one of Joe Biden's worst qualities.

00:47:44.500 Alright, so I asked,

00:47:46.100 the only way we can resolve this is I asked the lib

00:47:48.160 AI Claude and the conservative

00:47:49.960 AI Grok whether Lord of the Rings was

00:47:52.060 gay and grok says no lord of the rings is not gay in any meaningful sense neither as a story

00:47:58.900 nor in its themes nor in its characters nor in its intent it's a straight up pun intended

00:48:04.100 epic of good versus evil it literally says it is a straight up pun intended uh while claude

00:48:10.520 the lib ai says it takes that nuanced angle peter jackson's adaptations lean into the emotional

00:48:17.960 intimacy pretty heavily, which has

00:48:20.080 amplified queer readings for a new

00:48:22.080 generation of fans.

00:48:23.840 Many LGBTQ plus

00:48:25.800 readers and literary scholars have

00:48:27.880 embraced Frodo and Sam, and to a lesser

00:48:29.980 extent, Legolas and Gimli, as

00:48:31.940 queer-coded, or representing love

00:48:34.120 that transcends the heteronormative.

00:48:36.500 That said, they do note that

00:48:38.140 Tolkien actually modeled Frodo and Sam

00:48:40.240 after the relationship between

00:48:42.020 officers and their batmen

00:48:43.700 in World War I.

00:48:45.080 batman being kind of servants to an officer in a military context to be fair you know it is

00:48:51.460 elijah wood's portrayal of frodo is a little effeminate yes to be fair but i but this reminds

00:48:58.120 me of uh lincoln right lincoln i didn't think he like share a bed with uh like like a childhood

00:49:03.880 friend or like when he was pre before he was married basically but that was andrew you're

00:49:08.280 Speaking of yourself.

00:49:14.140 I'm upset on that one.

00:49:15.660 Dang it.

00:49:16.280 Zuzu, that's what's totally normal.

00:49:17.860 She made another joke.

00:49:18.440 You were only on a roll today, Zuzu.

00:49:19.680 But here's the thing.

00:49:20.920 So there's all these rumors about Lincoln that he's gay, but he wasn't gay.

00:49:25.060 He was a wife guy, and it's actually a pretty sad wife guy because his wife was not very nice.

00:49:30.340 Well, she was psycho, and she treated him like crap, and he was always really kind of worked up because his wife was throwing temper tantrums and stuff.

00:49:37.380 But, like, there is, my point is that there is a, yeah, you can have intimate male friendships without them being gay.

00:49:47.400 Okay, establish fact number one.

00:49:49.660 But what's funny is that when that happens, it can actually be a really, you know, it can be a good thing, really positive thing.

00:49:56.100 But the world is such that it will always take that and assume that it's gay.

00:49:59.480 And you see that with Lincoln.

00:50:00.640 Lincoln's story was not gay, but now there's this attempt to rewrite the history around Lincoln that he was gay.

00:50:06.740 Zuzu asks, did Tolkien and C.S. Lewis end their friendship over Christianity?

00:50:11.360 No, I wanted to debunk that because obviously they were both Christian.

00:50:15.760 Tolkien was butthurt that when Lewis became a Christian,

00:50:19.620 he became an Anglican instead of becoming a Catholic like Tolkien was.

00:50:23.360 I think they did have a pretty severe falling out,

00:50:25.960 but it wasn't over Christianity.

00:50:27.340 It was over, I believe, C.S. Lewis's wife.

00:50:29.400 I think Tolkien didn't like her very much.

00:50:32.740 But I am not an expert on that one.

00:50:34.760 I don't believe they were ever enemies or anything.

00:50:36.860 I think they just went through phases.

00:50:38.700 A grief observed is when his wife died.

00:50:41.460 It was a really tragic book.

00:50:42.920 I've read it.

00:50:44.300 Anyways.

00:50:45.080 All right.

00:50:45.660 We got to get to this.

00:50:46.480 Here's what you want.

00:50:47.320 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:50:48.140 Real quick on that.

00:50:49.140 Just since we're on the topic, I always try to bring this up whenever I can so I can get

00:50:53.080 into trouble.

00:50:53.600 And I'd love to court controversy on this.

00:50:55.520 So I don't think that Lord of the Rings is queer coded.

00:50:58.080 I don't think it is.

00:50:58.920 However, I do think that there is one piece of children's media that is extremely queer coded and the director and even one of the main stars have admitted this.

00:51:10.300 It's a Disney movie and it's called Frozen.

00:51:13.780 Yes, that's right. Frozen is absolutely queer coded.

00:51:18.200 It is two females. Oh, I know you're going to say, oh, they're sisters.

00:51:22.120 No, no, no, no. I'm saying if you actually look at the story, it's about the sisterhood.

00:51:26.160 it is very anti-male every man in it is like either the enemy or a liar or a dullard or someone

00:51:33.080 who's stupid and it's about you know we women bind together through the power of our relationship

00:51:39.340 against the men of the world and i believe there's also a gay character when they go to the sauna

00:51:43.500 as well the spen or something though it's like feminist it's not necessarily i'm telling you

00:51:47.920 it's totally queer coded totally queer coded wait what happens with what about the dude who's like

00:51:52.020 a nice salesman isn't yeah he ends up getting the the younger sister yeah doesn't he no he gets

00:51:57.280 them i'm telling you though but it's it is that's what i'm saying it's coded i'm saying it's different

00:52:00.940 not overtly but it is coded and idina menzel has come out and said this who uh did the voice of the

00:52:07.320 uh the the main character um and uh gosh i can't think of it whatever you know her name the frozen

00:52:13.560 chick and the director has said it as well so that's why that's why um let it go is seen as a

00:52:21.260 queer anthem in the lgbt community just be gay just be gay no so fazio says i mean if frozen is

00:52:28.620 gay then lord of the rings is elton john elsa so yeah elsa no lord of the rings is not queer

00:52:35.780 coded because it's not there's no intent but in frozen there is yeah i can't aggressively

00:52:41.280 weigh in on whether frozen is gay because unlike jack i do not watch it at least three times a

00:52:45.820 week you had that i think i've only seen it once probably not all the way through well listen i

00:52:51.080 You mean today?

00:52:52.200 You only watched it once today, Josh?

00:52:54.360 Go look it up.

00:52:55.460 Go look it up.

00:52:56.060 The people who made it said it's queer coded.

00:52:57.940 Yeah, but the people who make everything in Hollywood say it's queer coded.

00:53:01.100 That's how you keep getting jobs in Hollywood.

00:53:03.180 Yeah, they definitely get jobs, if you know what I mean.

00:53:05.300 It's called job security.

00:53:06.800 PG-13.

00:53:07.700 This is a PG-13 program.

00:53:08.920 All right.

00:53:09.520 I really, I have to get, we have to get to this show, this story of the quadruple amputee murderer.

00:53:17.480 it was one of those stories where everyone sees the headline and does a double take goes excuse

00:53:23.540 me and i shared this with my wife and she was like wait what like and i was like there's video

00:53:27.900 and i was like not of the murder but like of this guy shooting you know a weapon he can like

00:53:35.200 cock the gun and point it and shoot it with like i guess he's got kind of you know like uh

00:53:40.240 i mean it's a headline that you just have to embrace like this is the headline i saw on nbc

00:53:45.820 quadruple amputee and cornhole pro accused of fatally shooting man while driving it's like

00:53:53.840 there's so many things yeah there he is that's him that's him on his youtube account he is

00:53:59.180 blasting away with that gun and that man has no hands look at i i would be terrified as if i if

00:54:05.880 i was him of accidentally shooting off wait do we have do we have the b-roll of him like

00:54:11.660 climbing into the tree man yeah i know there's not much less oh gosh look at him this guy is

00:54:16.560 cooler than i am i mean like period like straight up a little bit of respect for

00:54:21.100 his zest for life as a quadruple amputee apparently had some some illness as a as a kid

00:54:28.080 and they had to amputate all four limbs in order to save his life and then he i mean we've got

00:54:35.600 we got clips on this guy so um let's let's start with uh yeah i mean i haven't seen that one so

00:54:42.700 that's interesting let's start with i guess sot 19. who is dayton weber dayton weber is a beast

00:54:53.320 he's strong um he's determined to me that's like beast mode you know he just got sick like any

00:55:00.540 other normal kid, take him to the hospital and find out that it had gotten to be a bacterial

00:55:05.840 infection. Grave danger is the word they used all the time. Dayton was diagnosed with a bacterial

00:55:13.820 infection that led to sepsis, the bacteria using his bloodstream as a tool to attack his organs.

00:55:20.840 They suggested that he be baptized and given his last rites.

00:55:30.020 That just didn't enter my thought, that I was going to lose him.

00:55:35.060 To prevent the infection from spreading,

00:55:38.500 doctors amputated Dayton's extremities, both arms and legs.

00:55:45.960 That is, like, really sad.

00:55:47.880 Yeah, but that guy didn't let it hold him back.

00:55:50.360 saddest things i've ever seen he committed felonies that most fully limbed people can

00:55:55.020 never dream of uh that allegedly i hate that because it makes me feel all the sympathy for

00:56:02.040 me and then like the story of the murder is is uh the murder is like crazy so he's just sitting in

00:56:08.380 his tesla he's got two people in the back dayton weber was behind the wheel when he opened fire

00:56:14.140 on bradrick michael wells during an argument as they were traveling right in a car in the town

00:56:19.760 of la plata uh and then weber allegedly pulled over and asked the backseat passengers to help

00:56:25.220 pull wells out of the car they refused and instead flagged down la plata police there's nothing this

00:56:30.680 man can't do except how slow do his friends have to be to allow him to get shots off that's what

00:56:38.660 i'm in the car that's what i'm thinking it's like that's my question if you know like and you kind

00:56:42.380 of wonder about the lead up was the guy like he's not gonna do yeah he's like he probably like the

00:56:47.040 passenger probably didn't know that he could pull it off or maybe he did i don't know it jack you've

00:56:53.120 got save us i've weather which way to go here weber competes in the america today at the end

00:56:59.220 of the day you you can say you can certainly say that you have to look out for an unarmed man

00:57:06.100 weber competes in the american cornhole league which called this case quote an extremely serious

00:57:14.680 matter that's what can i say you just you just you just gotta give him a hand oscar pastorius

00:57:22.400 sort of walked so that this man could kind of run okay that's pretty good that's pretty good

00:57:29.920 i did get it from a nice tweet i guess you could say there's a crime afoot

00:57:34.080 the studio you know what you know what they say he's got to stand on his own two legs

00:57:44.400 this is disgraceful yeah i'm sorry we this is really gone off the rails this is gone

00:57:55.200 i'm trying to think of a good alarm or leg pun uh doesn't have much of a leg to stand on all

00:58:02.480 right so wait he could shoot a rifle too hold on wait what did you say hey this case doesn't

00:58:07.240 have a leg to stand oh there you go uh cut 24 is dayton weber shooting a rifle i didn't see this

00:58:13.820 one let's see that one 24 how's he do that second shot a little better don't you probably have

00:58:24.700 yeah yeah uh-huh i just got to shoot it one time first that gun that gun is nasty

00:58:35.260 heck yeah no doubt

00:58:38.400 i i'm genuinely sad that this guy did murder someone because it really actually it's it's

00:58:45.640 genuinely inspiring to see those clips and you feel bad about how it all ended because

00:58:49.100 i think there's a lot of people out there who would say like i would rather die than

00:58:53.140 live that way and like he he did seem to have a pretty rich life other than the murdering people
