Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 41 — Getting on the Trump Jury？ AI Girlfriends？ Reform, or Revolution？

00:00:00.000 From the age of Big Brother.

00:00:02.720 If they want to get you, they'll get you.

00:00:05.120 DNSSEC specifically targets the communications of everyone.

00:00:09.040 They're collecting your communications.

00:00:18.720 Hello everybody, happy Thought Crime Thursday.

00:00:22.180 We have a show that is going to be less people, but hopefully deeper thoughts.

00:00:28.280 We have Blake Neff, who is appropriately quarantined.

00:00:32.820 I heard Blake cough once.

00:00:33.940 I said, you're doing this in another room.

00:00:36.260 And it's a true story.

00:00:37.800 And then Jack from an undisclosed bunker on the East Coast.

00:00:40.340 Jack, how are you doing?

00:00:41.480 Wait, so Blake is there in the studio, but just in another room of the studio?

00:00:47.120 Is that what you're saying?

00:00:47.720 I'm literally about 15 feet away from Charlie.

00:00:50.300 Jack, you can understand this.

00:00:51.840 Jack, hold on.

00:00:52.680 Jack, you can understand this.

00:00:53.820 It's not a matter of us getting sick.

00:00:55.500 It's us getting our kids sick and the derailing effect.

00:00:59.320 Jack, can you defend me on this?

00:01:00.640 This is true.

00:01:01.140 No, this is true.

00:01:01.940 This is true.

00:01:02.460 If it can be prevented, not having your kids get sick, just try to take that whenever possible,

00:01:11.460 especially if you have big travel coming up and you know you're not going to be home.

00:01:14.940 So that is why.

00:01:15.960 Right, Angelo?

00:01:16.500 Angelo is enthusiastic, right?

00:01:18.280 This is a rational thing.

00:01:19.380 I got this by seeing the eclipse in Austin.

00:01:23.680 So this could be like the eclipse virus.

00:01:26.020 Wait, the eclipse made you sick?

00:01:27.240 It could have like demonic energy within it.

00:01:29.420 You know, it might be from when the portals open.

00:01:31.740 I don't understand.

00:01:32.420 How did the eclipse make you sick?

00:01:34.460 I got sick while traveling to Texas for the eclipse.

00:01:38.180 So clearly they're related.

00:01:40.080 Clearly there's eldritch forces in play here.

00:01:42.980 It could cause untold drama, tragedy, suffering, the destruction of humanity.

00:01:50.340 Have you been hearing thoughts in the night that tell you to go to the ocean and wait for the hybrid children? 1.00

00:01:57.480 Occasionally, but you're not supposed to know about that.

00:01:59.880 Oh, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough.

00:02:01.640 All right, well, let's get into our topic here.

00:02:03.880 I think that it's...

00:02:05.140 Charlie's like what?

00:02:06.820 That's the thing about thought crime.

00:02:07.960 You just take it until it's for this logical conclusion, and then there's just awkward silence, and then you pivot.

00:02:12.440 But that's like the equation of thought crime, right?

00:02:14.620 You just keep going and going and going, and you're like, okay, we're at the bottom.

00:02:17.520 We're like, okay, did the Midas Touchers have their clip out of that segment?

00:02:21.560 All right, good.

00:02:22.080 Next segment.

00:02:22.760 Exactly.

00:02:24.020 Blake, I'm going to like you...

00:02:25.120 I'm Midas Touchers.

00:02:25.540 I know you're our favorite fans.

00:02:27.100 They don't watch live.

00:02:28.940 Oh, they'll be watching.

00:02:30.300 But they will watch.

00:02:31.360 They have some sort of gremlin that goes through this thing.

00:02:34.940 All right, so, Blake, jury selection with the Trump trial.

00:02:39.980 This also reminded me, Ryan, can we get the Harry Potter girl that was the head of the grand jury in Georgia?

00:02:46.680 There's a lot of, like, Harry Potter girl energy going on in American juries right now.

00:02:53.280 Blake, what's going on here?

00:02:55.320 All right, so Trump is finally on trial, the moment we've been waiting for, for a year.

00:02:59.940 And as we've warned the entire time, it is clear the entire battle plan of the Trump indictments is just get the best jury you possibly can.

00:03:08.520 So these cases are brought in New York.

00:03:10.540 They're brought in D.C. 0.87

00:03:11.800 They're brought in Atlanta.

00:03:13.720 It's always in these urban areas that have 90, that, you know, voted 90%, 95% for Joe Biden in 2020.

00:03:21.100 And that way you can get away with things like bringing criminal charges that are totally unprecedented and have never been used on anyone else in history.

00:03:29.340 And so we're getting the jury selection here in New York now for Trump's hush money case.

00:03:37.380 And we've already had, like, a third of the jury pool get drummed out because after they get seated, we go and we check their social media, and it turns out they're these left-wing zealots.

00:03:48.560 But they're totally saying, you know, I can be super-duper unbiased.

00:03:52.480 Please put me on the jury.

00:03:54.820 Like, we've got one of these here.

00:03:56.360 How about, let's play, how about we play, man, they've got so many of these.

00:04:07.240 What would be best here?

00:04:09.860 Let's go this one.

00:04:11.160 How about, well, how about cut 111 is a two-minute clip of the potential juror dismissed herself for not being partial.

00:04:18.860 She talks about how she's just became a citizen.

00:04:20.920 Or we could say cut 97, woman says Trump didn't look angry.

00:04:25.180 He just looked bored, and he wanted all this to go down.

00:04:27.440 Want to do that one?

00:04:28.120 Let's do cut 97. 0.96

00:04:30.880 That is unbelievable.

00:04:31.860 I know.

00:04:32.280 What was your impression of Donald Trump when you saw him?

00:04:37.460 You know, he looked less orange, definitely, like, more yellows, like, yellow.

00:04:45.020 Nothing else than that.

00:04:46.440 He looks, he doesn't look angry, or I think he looks bored.

00:04:51.840 Like, he wants this to finish and go do his stuff.

00:04:56.100 That's how, yeah.

00:04:58.400 This is another wild thing here.

00:05:01.380 This person got dismissed for, you know, possible bias and other conflicts.

00:05:06.340 But she's also just, you know, speaks English as a second language.

00:05:10.580 And imagine, like, highly technical legal language in the court, how confusing that might be.

00:05:16.060 It reminds me, there was a juror like that in the George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin case a decade ago,

00:05:21.160 where after the verdict, there's a profile, and it emphasizes how she couldn't really tell what was going on.

00:05:28.240 And she felt like she was on trial the whole time.

00:05:31.260 You get this bizarre stuff.

00:05:32.760 Like, let's play another one here.

00:05:35.100 We have, wait, wait, can I, can I throw in, actually, my, like, because this juror specifically,

00:05:42.220 and, and Charlie, maybe, because you're, you're, you're a good, you got, you got a good read on people.

00:05:48.060 So my read on this was that she probably was kind of like, she didn't, she didn't code to me like an anti-Trumper.

00:05:55.580 She didn't code to me like some kind of dyed-in-the-wool leftist.

00:05:59.580 She wasn't like this, you know, everybody's dunking on the new NPR CEO right now, but she didn't even, but she's just like a kind of like a normal, we'll talk about that later,

00:06:08.720 but she's sort of like a normie farmer's market liberal. 0.97

00:06:11.640 But this, this girl, like, she kind of seemed like she was almost favorable to Trump, or would have at least been impartial.

00:06:21.860 And yet she removed herself from the jury.

00:06:26.760 And as Blake will say, there are other people who lied and are extremely biased against Trump that got seated on the jury,

00:06:35.980 two of which, or at least one of which, was removed earlier today.

00:06:39.100 Yeah, and I just want to say, maybe these people just say they're biased because they don't want to do this.

00:06:44.500 It's just like a lot of time, and they want to go home, and they're like, actually, I'm biased.

00:06:47.600 That's a way I can get off the jury.

00:06:49.360 So let's play Cut 112 next.

00:06:52.100 Let's play Cut 112.

00:06:52.940 That this has to do with something that very well could have been, the fact that this juror may have been arrested back in the 1990s,

00:07:03.720 conducting some type of political vandalism against something, posters on the right,

00:07:08.960 and it was not revealed, or he did not remember it and did not include it, and that is why that juror has been dismissed.

00:07:16.980 Didn't remember it.

00:07:18.020 You know, I hate when that happens, you know, when you forget all your arrest records.

00:07:20.640 Oh, that's right, in addition to the arson and the burglary, I also got arrested for taking—

00:07:25.820 Yeah, we call that the Antifa juror.

00:07:27.700 That's basically the Antifa juror.

00:07:29.340 He lied his way on there.

00:07:30.760 He was tearing down stuff.

00:07:32.360 He got arrested for something that passed.

00:07:33.980 And they ask you that on the questionnaire.

00:07:35.820 And so, Blake, as you mentioned earlier, but for people who aren't familiar with the process, jury selection, it's called voir dire.

00:07:42.660 There are rigorous written questionnaires that every potential juror must fill out before they go in there, where they go through line by line.

00:07:54.360 And they, yeah, of course, they ask you your personal information, your demographic information, et cetera.

00:07:57.880 But then they start asking you about, do you have any cases that are similar to this?

00:08:01.080 Do you have any—were you ever, you know, were you ever involved in any legal matters?

00:08:05.900 Do you ever serve on a jury before?

00:08:07.460 And then they ask you, like, if you were arrested, what was that?

00:08:11.160 In fact, one of the things that was coming up, I think, in a lot of the questionnaires and in a lot of the questioning—and, Charlie, I'm sure you really appreciate this—is that a lot of the people were saying that—I think, like, 50 percent of the people were saying that they had either been mugged or knew someone who had been.

00:08:25.100 On the jury?

00:08:26.980 That were in the jury pool.

00:08:29.100 Not just on the jury, but in the entire pool.

00:08:31.640 The entire population of New York has been mugged at this point.

00:08:35.620 Let's go to this other one.

00:08:37.320 I want to play this one.

00:08:38.180 I'm trying to find which one this is, where the one that has now gone viral significantly, where she—she's the Harry Potter girl.

00:08:45.780 Do we have the Harry Potter—not the one from Georgia.

00:08:48.220 The one where she was just kind of—she dismissed herself.

00:08:52.960 Let's see.

00:08:54.020 Or she got dismissed for bias, and she said, I'm, like, a COVID anxious, and I'm immune-compromised, and my half-sister is Chinese,

00:09:02.260 and I'm afraid she was going to get deported, and it made me anxious, and it made me mad.

00:09:07.300 This right here, everybody.

00:09:10.180 I—yes, I'm going to play in a second.

00:09:12.240 I get attacked sometimes for saying that single cat women are—they have bad politics. 1.00

00:09:18.860 People say, how dare you say that?

00:09:20.000 This woman is a perfect example of single cat woman politics. 1.00

00:09:27.140 Perfect.

00:09:28.380 Play cut 115.

00:09:29.920 Can you share your opinion of the former president and why you felt that you could be unbiased?

00:09:36.900 Uh, I'm not a fan.

00:09:39.120 Um, I—during, uh, COVID-19, I lived with someone who was immunocompromised, and I think his handling of COVID-19 was, uh, abysmal.

00:09:52.320 Um, I also—I have a sister who was adopted from China, and, um, the comments he made about China when he was running for president, um,

00:10:01.380 made her very anxious, and therefore made me angry.

00:10:07.920 Um, there are policies he has supported, um, that regard, uh, women and—and reproductive health that I do not agree with.

00:10:20.700 Oh, she—she keeps—she keeps on going from there. 1.00

00:10:23.300 Seems unbiased, Blake.

00:10:24.700 Just perfect.

00:10:25.200 By the way, she has an audition reel.

00:10:26.680 I gotta find it.

00:10:27.280 Somebody emailed it to it.

00:10:28.240 Freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:10:29.540 Blake, your reaction?

00:10:31.380 I mean, so the big picture thing here is we have some of these people getting drummed off the jury.

00:10:37.660 Some of them are getting onto the jury and then getting booted off because their bias is discovered.

00:10:43.360 But if that's happening, it's a pretty safe bet that there's at least one person out there who just is fanatically anti-Trump and just thinks,

00:10:53.440 I want to get on the jury so I can make the evil man go away and go to prison.

00:10:58.040 Like, the amount of Trump hate we've had for a decade, you have to entertain the possibility, the probability that someone could consider it a moral commandment to make this person—to take this person down.

00:11:15.940 They would think it is of historical importance to be the person who puts Donald Trump in prison.

00:11:21.020 And so the kind of—the moral question is, given that's the case, is it morally acceptable if you're a pro-Trump person in New York and you're in the pool to basically bib your way onto the jury?

00:11:36.080 Do you think that there's going to be a MAGA person that has found himself onto the jury?

00:11:45.200 I don't know that it's likely. It's Manhattan, so you can look at the stats.

00:11:49.640 I think it did vote about 90 percent Biden in 2020, and a lot of the people who would have voted otherwise, they might be Orthodox Jews.

00:11:59.320 I've heard there's some issues with them being on the jury because they can't stick around on Friday afternoons because they have to prep for Shabbat.

00:12:06.720 And then after that, you're just looking at the odds.

00:12:09.080 But there's probably—you know, there's a few pro-Trump people in New York.

00:12:12.100 But I kind of find myself thinking, if you do get in this jury pool, even if you're pro-Trump,

00:12:18.360 I feel like you almost have an obligation to hide that, both because this actually is a profoundly immoral prosecution of Trump.

00:12:28.680 It is unprecedented. It is—actually, it is the sort of thing that should be thrown out in court without getting into all the details.

00:12:35.440 It's really bad. And so I think you kind of have a moral obligation to come in and help at least hang the jury in this trial.

00:12:43.860 I couldn't agree more. Do you remember, Blake, in one of the federal—the whole we build the wall thing?

00:12:54.340 I know they're still going after Bannon for that at the state level.

00:12:57.880 But at the federal level, obviously, you know, Steve Bannon got a pardon for that from Trump.

00:13:05.160 One of the other guys took a plea deal.

00:13:07.040 But then there was one guy who actually went to trial over it.

00:13:09.840 And there was actually a juror—I think they took him to a second trial—but there was actually a juror who hung the trial the first time.

00:13:18.040 They actually found someone in New York.

00:13:20.520 He was, like, a working-class guy.

00:13:22.680 You know, there wasn't a lot of information that was released on them.

00:13:25.560 But what came out afterwards was that the other 11 members of the jury were furious that this guy refused to vote guilty, along with the rest of them.

00:13:34.360 And they said, in his response, the man said they were all a bunch of liberals and then espoused anti-government statements and said the only reason everyone was doing this was because they're all a bunch of liberals.

00:13:48.840 So it actually happened once in recent—now, not a great legal strategy to go to court and, you know, wish that you can find a juror like that.

00:13:59.980 But, yes, it has—this is, like, the only time that has happened in—and if you include New York and D.C. and all the J6ers in all of those cases that have gone to trial, it's happened exactly one time thus far. 0.97

00:14:12.580 And remember, you have to have unanimous support so one juror could derail this whole thing in a hung jury.

00:14:20.040 Okay, this is the juror who—this is her actress film reel, Playcut 133.

00:14:27.500 Oh, well, no, we didn't have a picture of it.

00:14:29.200 She's literally an actress. 0.99

00:14:31.080 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:14:32.320 I thought this was the Harry Potter actress. 1.00

00:14:35.020 You mean this is the juror?

00:14:36.540 No, no, this is the Harry—no, we're all over the place.

00:14:38.620 This is the girl that did the interview out on the street where she took all these—I'm not a fan.

00:14:44.020 And has the half-adopted sister, and she has, like, a literally—

00:14:49.480 She's actually an actress. 1.00

00:14:50.360 She's actually an actress. 1.00

00:14:51.100 She has a whole portfolio of audition tapes that are there on that link that I found.

00:14:58.580 So no wonder she's doing all the interviews because— 0.99

00:15:01.280 Of course, and she does all these—she does all these pregnant pauses, and she just does these pregnant pauses. 1.00

00:15:06.140 I'm not a fan, and, like, okay, yeah, you're so stoic and so talented.

00:15:11.000 Let's go to another piece of tape here.

00:15:13.220 Let's go to—let's go to this one here.

00:15:17.800 Woman says she just became a citizen, and she was in shock when she saw Trump sitting there.

00:15:22.360 Playcut 113.

00:15:24.660 Have you ever served as a juror before?

00:15:27.340 No, that's my first time because I just became a citizen in August.

00:15:30.780 Yeah.

00:15:31.020 And that was my first call, and that was—

00:15:34.300 So you just became a citizen of the United States.

00:15:36.660 So that means you've never voted in a presidential election.

00:15:39.780 You get called to be a juror, and this is the jury that you are called to.

00:15:43.640 Yes.

00:15:44.600 What happened?

00:15:45.340 Why were you dismissed?

00:15:46.740 Because I couldn't be impartial.

00:15:48.460 You couldn't be impartial.

00:15:49.240 So when the judge asked that hand, can you be impartial, you raised your hand, and you said you cannot.

00:15:53.680 Exactly.

00:15:54.300 Wow.

00:15:55.220 When did you first come?

00:15:57.040 On Tuesday.

00:15:57.720 On Tuesday.

00:15:58.500 And at that point, when did you realize that this was a trial involving the ex-president of the United States, Donald Trump?

00:16:05.220 So we were here on Tuesday from 9 a.m., but we realized that it's about this case on 4 p.m.

00:16:14.440 We went into the courtroom, and we showed Donald Trump.

00:16:18.400 You went into the courtroom at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, and you see Donald Trump.

00:16:21.740 Yeah.

00:16:21.980 We didn't know before that.

00:16:23.280 What was your first thought?

00:16:24.200 I was shocked.

00:16:27.420 I was sitting on the second row, like six feet away, and when I realized that Trump is there, I was like, oh, wow.

00:16:38.060 I couldn't believe it.

00:16:39.060 What about the people around you?

00:16:40.300 Everybody was shocked.

00:16:41.240 Everybody was frozen.

00:16:44.420 He does have that effect on people.

00:16:46.740 Especially women. 1.00

00:16:48.160 I'm telling you, I think she was a MAGA type.

00:16:51.380 Okay.

00:16:51.820 You see what I'm saying?

00:16:52.960 The thing about it, though, she's a new citizen.

00:16:54.880 She follows all the rules.

00:16:56.400 She's probably one of the few jurors that heard the unbiased thing and was like, I actually like him.

00:17:00.960 I take this very seriously.

00:17:03.020 Well, and you know what else?

00:17:04.240 You know what else?

00:17:04.760 If she just got her citizenship, typically when you go through your citizenship process, you are on a green card for a while.

00:17:11.580 And so while you're on that green card, it's like it's very incumbent on you to follow all the rules and like you can't get, you know, don't get traffic tickets.

00:17:21.880 Don't, you know, don't don't even break a little law because anything can be used against you to get your citizenship.

00:17:28.960 So if you're going through the process, like she's saying, and rightfully so, saying that it's a huge achievement, I'm married to a naturalized immigrant, as everyone knows, that it's something where, you know, anything can be used against you.

00:17:41.940 So that's like, you know, she's following all the rules.

00:17:44.260 And then she gets in there and says, oh, well, I'm biased and I'm biased against it because she's, it seems to me like she's obviously somebody who likes Trump.

00:17:52.640 But then the problem is, you know, where this plays against us is that if, and this is what Blake is saying here, that if one side is willing to lie and have like Antifa guys and leftists, or if you remember the Derek Chauvin trial, had a guy who was a BLM activist who ran a BLM podcast,

00:18:09.980 who attended George Floyd rallies and like hung out with George Floyd's uncle and then lied about it throughout the entire trial.

00:18:18.100 And then admitted to it afterwards.

00:18:19.820 Yep.

00:18:20.380 And, and our side is going to say, oh, we're, we're, we're going to take the moral high road.

00:18:25.580 We are going to, we're going to be the principled ones and I'm not going to serve on that jury.

00:18:29.340 And I'm like, well, you're, then you're just going to lose.

00:18:31.380 And I, I totally agree with Blake and we need jury nullification in this case.

00:18:36.540 You need jury nullification.

00:18:37.740 And if you have the ability to serve on Trump's jury or, and you're a conservative and you're, you know, or the, one of the next juries that comes up, get on there.

00:18:46.760 And I'm going to say this right now, as loud as possible, get on there and sabotage the trial, get on there and derail the trial completely deep.

00:18:56.780 There is nothing immoral about sabotaging a communist show trial.

00:19:01.600 It is the most moral thing you can do.

00:19:05.100 Jury nullification.

00:19:05.760 Let's go to, uh, do we have the tape, Ryan, or are we still downloading it?

00:19:11.220 We're still, we're still downloading it.

00:19:13.260 It's almost in.

00:19:14.100 All right.

00:19:14.360 It, you got to watch this.

00:19:15.520 It's really good.

00:19:16.400 Let's then go to, uh, let's, as we buy some time for that, let's go to.

00:19:23.680 I think there's, okay, we have it.

00:19:25.100 All right.

00:19:25.300 So this is a perfect example, everybody.

00:19:26.840 This is the type of individual that New York is known for, which is want to be celebrity, want to be actress.

00:19:35.120 You'd think that LA is the home of that.

00:19:36.840 No, no, no.

00:19:37.540 This is Kara McGee.

00:19:39.460 Trump, not a Trump fan.

00:19:41.360 Play cut one 34.

00:19:42.280 Maya, I know mom can be.

00:19:45.360 Oh my God.

00:19:46.200 What?

00:19:46.460 I didn't even say anything.

00:19:48.800 Oh my God, Maya, it's not all about you.

00:19:51.100 Did you ever think of that?

00:19:52.140 What the heck's that supposed to mean?

00:19:53.820 I am literally bleeding out and you're still going to storm off into the woods for dramatic effect.

00:19:57.860 You're not bleeding out.

00:19:58.920 Your hand is cut.

00:19:59.800 You're not going to die.

00:20:01.660 Bleeding out implies you have a much more severe wound and need to go to the hospital because you've been stabbed or shot or something.

00:20:07.420 You did get stabbed by that rock.

00:20:11.940 Is this a comedy?

00:20:12.300 I need your forensic expertise. 1.00

00:20:14.620 Shut up. 1.00

00:20:15.720 This is exactly what I expected. 1.00

00:20:18.280 Is this a drama?

00:20:19.460 I don't want to.

00:20:20.540 Oh, it's a Christmas movie.

00:20:22.360 It's a Christmas movie.

00:20:23.280 As if.

00:20:24.480 You guys are sure this is a regular movie.

00:20:26.440 Maybe they'll be so mad at you, they won't mind.

00:20:28.280 This isn't like they go upstairs and something else.

00:20:30.520 Same difference.

00:20:32.800 Look, everyone's going to come over for presents and she'll act like it never happened. 1.00

00:20:36.080 I just had to play that.

00:20:38.720 That is the woman who gave a whole press gaggle and she didn't disclose that. 1.00

00:20:42.820 Oh, by the way, I'm an actress.

00:20:45.060 You know, that that was like a that was like a regular Christmas movie.

00:20:47.860 That wasn't like a that wasn't like they go upstairs and like something bad.

00:20:51.440 You know, this might offend people.

00:20:53.220 This might offend people because we do have some actors who are on our side.

00:20:57.040 But we might benefit as a society if we revive the old Roman norm of of considering actors sort of morally on par with like prostitutes and maybe not allowing them on juries because they're people of ill repute.

00:21:11.180 I'm with you.

00:21:12.500 But only if we only if we add journalists to that.

00:21:17.180 That's a good idea.

00:21:18.260 I could get on board with that.

00:21:19.980 All right.

00:21:20.180 We should put journalists on the bottom, like maybe put them on par with certain species of wild animal. 0.64

00:21:28.180 Yeah, like like a very, very highly developed, like primitive creature.

00:21:32.560 I'm not sure if I can follow you on highly developed, maybe middling development.

00:21:39.460 Maybe they're like an intermediary species between man and ape.

00:21:43.880 Yes.

00:21:44.380 Like a like a like a like a wildebeest of some sort.

00:21:48.240 Yeah, I could go.

00:21:49.040 All right.

00:21:49.280 All right.

00:21:49.560 So we'll do that.

00:21:50.320 And then as long as they're not allowed on juries and they're not allowed.

00:21:53.480 The actors are just better.

00:21:55.360 Yeah, that's true.

00:21:56.340 That's true.

00:21:56.940 So they're not on juries and they don't have like other civic rights.

00:22:00.980 I think that's I think that's a good balance to strike.

00:22:03.520 Well, there's also there's also lawyers on the jury.

00:22:05.860 Right.

00:22:06.100 And so from a serious perspective, right, it's there's a huge issue with having a lawyer on a jury because a lawyer, like you were saying before, you know, a lot of people who come on might not have knowledge of the legal process.

00:22:18.360 The lawyer is going to get on there and is sudden like you've run the risk of having that lawyer be like a rogue juror almost.

00:22:26.320 And a rogue juror is someone who comes on with a bias.

00:22:27.760 And now the lawyer is basically just leading the room and telling everybody like this is a great movie about this called 12 Angry Men, by the way, Henry Fonda, the wife, the father of the traitor and or maybe the grandfather, actually.

00:22:41.380 And the no father.

00:22:43.300 And, you know, you get to the problem of having a lawyer basically in that room just telling people to do the opposite of what all the other lawyers said because they have that direct the direct access.

00:22:55.540 Let's talk about the rumble cloud.

00:23:00.140 Are you tired of getting a surprise when you see your cloud services bill every month?

00:23:43.280 That is friends dot rumble dot cloud.

00:23:45.540 Blake, take it away.

00:23:46.360 All right.

00:23:48.340 Our next topic, I believe, is a reform or revolution.

00:23:54.700 And so the story here is.

00:23:58.200 So actually, it'll set up perfectly by a comment that we actually just had in the rumble chat.

00:24:03.160 So we'll shout out to the rumble chatters. 0.98

00:24:04.940 Mobile Mark says, I believe Americans and legal U.S. citizens are all screwed.

00:24:10.840 And I believe it's just an illusion that we can fix this mess.

00:24:16.920 And that actually goes perfectly into our next topic.

00:24:19.940 So a lot of people who are watching are probably familiar with Chris Rufo.

00:24:24.440 He's the guy who popularized critical race theory.

00:24:27.940 He's been a big figure on Twitter.

00:24:30.100 He's really driven a lot of legislative activity attacking DEI and CRT.

00:24:36.200 Real quick.

00:24:37.040 He popularized criticism of critical race theory.

00:24:39.920 Yeah.

00:24:40.100 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:24:40.820 Yeah.

00:24:41.000 I should say that.

00:24:41.600 Yeah.

00:24:41.820 Criticism and awareness of the concept.

00:24:44.580 And then a lot of people are probably also probably fewer people.

00:24:47.220 But a lot of people are familiar with Curtis Yarvin.

00:24:50.080 Curtis Yarvin is a veteran of Silicon Valley.

00:24:53.760 He's also been a longtime blogger.

00:24:55.540 He's been on Charlie's show.

00:24:57.480 He's famous for writing very, very, very, very long blog posts that reference very old and very obscure books.

00:25:07.460 But he's a fun guy.

00:25:09.040 So the elves are the dark elves.

00:25:10.800 I can never remember.

00:25:12.020 Or the hobbits.

00:25:13.280 We might be hobbits.

00:25:14.140 So Curtis Yarvin and Chris Ruffo have had – they don't like each other very much, actually.

00:25:21.140 They're having a bit of an argument.

00:25:22.820 They had a debate back and forth in IM 1776.

00:25:28.160 But without getting into all the details on it, the key idea is there's a debate between them, which is can the system be reformed gradually, marginally, through normal political action?

00:25:40.280 Or is the only hope for stopping the left, liberalism writ large, is the only way to stop it, basically one big revolution where you decapitate the whole thing?

00:25:53.120 Chris Ruffo, understandably, his argument is, yes, reform can work.

00:25:58.220 He's the guy who's lobbying state legislators to change things.

00:26:01.480 He's lobbying governors to shut down DEI departments in universities.

00:26:06.260 He's the one saying, oh, we can win the presidency back, and then we'll be able to take out various things in the government that are bad.

00:26:14.920 And Curtis Yarvin basically says, that's all pointless.

00:26:18.980 It's not going to work.

00:26:21.040 Basically, you just need a giant apocalyptic revolution to bring back – he's a fan of monarchy, famously.

00:26:28.020 But even if you don't have a literal king, he would essentially say what you need is a president who acts like a king, who – like Trump gets inaugurated.

00:26:37.040 And he just says, I'm going to be ruling by decree, I'm going to abolish the State Department, abolish the Department of Education, I'm going to abolish the Fed, I'm going to do all these things.

00:26:49.340 And then maybe if you do all of that, you'll be able to stop the left.

00:26:53.260 But anything that's arguing like, oh, we need to win this election, that voting for your city council or for your school board or for your state legislator to stop the libs, he would say that's all pointless.

00:27:05.200 And that seems to be a popular take, at least with a lot of conservatives who follow our shows, who send us emails.

00:27:13.300 And so that was the big debate that went very viral online and on Twitter in the past few days.

00:27:18.700 Yeah, and I would go even deeper.

00:27:20.380 First of all, it was a written debate.

00:27:22.660 It was not an oral debate.

00:27:24.160 So I actually think that was helpful because it restrained kind of the – it gave no sort of preference to whoever is better at rhetoric or who has more charisma.

00:27:35.200 It read, though, kind of like a slam poetry contest where they were just trying to, like, outdo one another.

00:27:43.100 And I'll be honest, you kind of go – you read this thing back and forth and you think, like, wow, Curtis Yarvin's winning.

00:27:50.460 And then you say, wow, Christopher Rufo is winning.

00:27:52.940 Like, that's a really good point.

00:27:54.340 And, wow, I think Curtis has him here.

00:27:56.400 Like, wow, Christopher Rufo has him here.

00:27:58.140 And I will say, though, Blake and or Jack, you guys can take it, the buried lead of the whole thing is how they view the American Revolution, where Curtis Yarvin seems to be a critic of the American Revolution.

00:28:13.940 And Rufo is obviously supportive of it.

00:28:17.200 And Yarvin is not overly appreciative of the established constitutional order.

00:28:22.260 Did you get that too, Blake?

00:28:23.480 Yeah, they go into that, which this is a very Yarvin thing to do.

00:28:28.680 Yarvin loves to reference old books of all sorts, old primary sources.

00:28:33.160 So he kind of is doing this as a flex on Rufo because it's this stuff almost nobody has read.

00:28:40.600 And he says, you know, he says, like, here's your first tool.

00:28:44.100 Here's a debate between Samuel Adams and John Adams.

00:28:47.140 It's in English.

00:28:47.960 It'll take you a half hour to read.

00:28:49.740 Don't you think it's worth it?

00:28:50.940 Since you're putting all your chips and everyone else's on reanimating Sam Adams, don't you think it's worth actually getting to know him directly?

00:28:58.580 And then this is what Yarvin says.

00:29:00.120 My view is John, who is on the right side of this argument about the theory of government, totally destroys Sam Adams, who is on the left.

00:29:09.920 And then he says, if you go back, it's always like this.

00:29:13.360 He cites debates between John Adams and someone who's a loyalist in the American Revolution.

00:29:20.780 And he says the loyalists are right.

00:29:23.220 And he's citing people who were loyalists before the revolution breaks out.

00:29:27.820 And he's citing criticisms of the Declaration of Independence.

00:29:30.660 And he basically says the American Revolution was all bad.

00:29:35.140 It was a mistake.

00:29:36.540 It's what unleashed liberalism into the world.

00:29:40.120 And I think this is a good example of where the downsides can come in, where even if you were to say, if I traveled back to 1775, I would actually be a loyalist instead of a patriot, instead of favoring independence.

00:29:55.480 I feel like it's frankly a little bit deranged to act like America's independence was some vast tragedy for the world.

00:30:03.720 I just, even if it was through luck, I think it's clear that America worked out and had a positive impact on the world.

00:30:10.840 And I think that's kind of the downside of these like big revolutionary people.

00:30:16.800 If your view of politics is that like everything's hopeless and you need a once in every 400 year cataclysm to ever do anything good or worthwhile, I think you're kind of, you're missing the trees for the forest, so to speak.

00:30:29.980 Like you can do a lot of good in someone's individual life.

00:30:34.220 And just on that point right there, it wasn't just the American Revolution didn't overthrow the King of England and establish liberalism because the King of England never ruled from America.

00:30:48.880 And I get what you're all been saying.

00:30:50.520 It's very interesting.

00:30:51.060 But there's another revolution that was right around the same time that you and I obviously did a show about a couple of months ago and we're doing the book on it called the French Revolution, which I think is probably much closer to if you wanted to talk about a approximate cause for the release of liberalism into the world.

00:31:10.400 I would say the French Revolution far more than the American Revolution in that context.

00:31:14.960 Yeah, and understand, remember, Burke, who was the ultimate conservative, he didn't support the American Revolution, but he understood it.

00:31:22.860 And he actually said, I get it.

00:31:24.740 He was very compassionate towards the American revolutionary cause.

00:31:30.760 The French Revolution, he was a major critic of.

00:31:33.080 That's his most famous book, his reflection on the French Revolution.

00:31:36.560 And so, but I will, I was very sympathetic to Rufo.

00:31:39.500 I thought there was a very powerful line here.

00:31:41.140 I'm trying to find the link if you guys can reset it, resend it.

00:31:44.280 Is that Rufo, he defended the founders beautifully.

00:31:48.560 He said that it was the best yet accomplishment of mixing classical ideas, antiquity, the fruits of the Enlightenment, and creating a political project that has been the most stable, free regime in history.

00:32:04.400 The other reason, I'd be sympathetic to Rufo because I think there's a great line that sort of lays out the despair that goes into Yarvin's position.

00:32:16.680 I'm just going to quote it here.

00:32:18.200 He says, I believe you're doing something useful.

00:32:21.180 He's referring to Rufo here.

00:32:22.620 But it is not useful in the way that you think or seem to think it is.

00:32:27.060 It is not useful because it is disproportionate to the problem.

00:32:31.600 It is useless to pass a law that bans discriminating against white people, for instance.

00:32:36.460 We already have such a law. 0.73

00:32:38.600 And it's not followed, of course.

00:32:39.760 And he says, in a nation with maybe a million diversity professionals, it is useless to get 11 staffers laid off from the University of Florida.

00:32:49.820 And it is useless to convert a low-grade hippie college into a lower-grade baseball college.

00:32:55.760 And he's referring to the new college of Florida, where Rufo and DeSantis have sort of remade the whole school.

00:33:02.220 And so that's what he says.

00:33:03.580 He's always like, oh, you're going to get one professor fired here.

00:33:06.620 They'll get rehired somewhere else.

00:33:08.320 You did no serious damage to the system.

00:33:11.100 And I run into that a lot.

00:33:12.980 And I think it's sort of a deliberate decision to be defeatist about things.

00:33:18.200 Because I think if you decide to look around and want to find progress, you can as a conservative.

00:33:25.060 The example I like to point to is gun rights.

00:33:28.160 Gun rights used to be really terrible in America.

00:33:30.940 They're now pretty good.

00:33:33.240 People are substantively more free in America on that point now than they were 30 years ago.

00:33:40.680 Or you could say education.

00:33:42.880 Like you have a bunch of states are adopting universal school vouchers.

00:33:46.920 You can take $6,000, $7,000 every year from the government that would be used to educate your kid in a public school to get propagandized.

00:33:55.740 And you can say, nope, I'm leaving and I'm going to homeschool with this money or go to a private school. 0.94

00:34:00.780 People are substantively more free of all the crap leftists are pushing. 0.93

00:34:05.980 And if you just choose to ignore that and say, oh, well, I care more about this thing now. 0.98

00:34:11.080 Everything's terrible.

00:34:12.440 I think you're just deciding to interpret all of history as nothing but defeats and failures and suffering.

00:34:19.220 And then, you know, you've decided that life is going to be a nothing but failure in advance.

00:34:25.160 So, of course, you're going to think it stinks.

00:34:26.620 And I will just say I side with I thought you're I thought Yarvin's strongest point when we interviewed him and in the essay.

00:34:33.840 And, of course, Yarvin is just a ridiculously smart and talented, talented writer.

00:34:37.880 So he's just fun to read.

00:34:39.880 And I enjoyed this thoroughly.

00:34:43.000 Oh, yeah, it's hilarious to read.

00:34:44.800 It's great when he just he does.

00:34:47.560 It gets very combative between them.

00:34:50.600 It's very funny.

00:34:51.720 I think the best part, he says, you know, even America's two favorite statesmen, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, talk 40 years later.

00:35:02.060 And Jefferson says, who can ever tell the story of the American Revolution?

00:35:06.040 And Adams says, nobody.

00:35:08.160 Why?

00:35:08.820 Because everything public was propaganda.

00:35:11.240 Then as now.

00:35:12.600 What did you think?

00:35:13.800 Did you think that Goebbels invented propaganda for Nazi Germany?

00:35:17.720 Chris, you unbelievably innocent person.

00:35:20.900 You are shrewd in the 21st century.

00:35:23.620 I grant it.

00:35:24.660 But once we turn back to the dial to the 18th century, you make Forrest Gump look cynical.

00:35:31.980 And yeah, it just he goes off like this.

00:35:35.180 He's very fun to read.

00:35:36.600 Again, it's like slam poetry almost.

00:35:38.440 Right.

00:35:38.840 Yeah.

00:35:39.260 He says, as for your achievements, here's a simple way to evaluate them.

00:35:43.640 What would you do if you had absolute power?

00:35:46.500 What percentage of that have you achieved so far?

00:35:49.500 How many orders of magnitude is it from 100 percent?

00:35:54.060 And he's just like saying, you've done nothing.

00:35:56.800 You have done nothing compared to what you do if you were a dictator.

00:36:00.180 So everything's a failure.

00:36:01.700 We should have a dictator is essentially what he's arguing for.

00:36:05.020 Well, here's here's here's what you can.

00:36:06.820 And you could you could take the personalities of it as funny as the whole thing is hilarious.

00:36:11.140 And kudos to both of them for doing it, by the way.

00:36:13.320 And kudos.

00:36:13.600 I think it was IM1776, ran the whole thing.

00:36:16.620 Just fantastic.

00:36:17.520 Absolutely fantastic.

00:36:18.380 They did it.

00:36:19.180 But there is a bigger question.

00:36:21.000 And Charlie, I'd if I can get your thoughts on this, you know, we can you know, we can go back and forth about the founders and all that.

00:36:28.100 But at the end of the day, the question is, you know, if I get the CEO of NPR fired, if I get some journalist scalped, you know, Brian Stalter got let go at CNN, et cetera, et cetera.

00:36:40.340 Great, cool.

00:36:42.360 But is that actually changing, you know, presenting fundamental change for us in the situation that we are in?

00:36:50.040 Or do we need something like a as as you are in is saying, you know, not maybe not like a king or a dictator, but a strong executive who is committed to the idea of a top down restructuring.

00:37:03.380 Well, this is where I think I would love to have Yarvin come back in studio, Blake, is the founders did not seek to neuter the executive completely.

00:37:12.620 The founders still gave a lot of power to the executive.

00:37:16.800 They did not.

00:37:17.920 They had a check and balance on it.

00:37:20.480 However, this was exactly.

00:37:22.200 And this was not in the form and the structure of the Constitution, specifically in Article 2, which I believe Article 2, the executive has far reaching powers.

00:37:37.680 And it would be one thing if they designed a House of Commons model where the prime minister is always basically at risk of recall, vote of no confidence.

00:37:49.800 You don't have a prime minister for a reason.

00:37:51.440 No, we don't have a prime minister.

00:37:52.960 We have an executive.

00:37:54.040 We have an executive branch.

00:37:55.820 Yarvin, though, I think the strongest argument that Yarvin makes is that FDR created a new monarchy and ran the country closest to a dictatorship of any president in American history.

00:38:07.300 And when he died, that power went into a million different places like shattered glass into the bureaucracy.

00:38:13.260 Never heard anybody make that argument.

00:38:15.120 And I totally agree with that observation.

00:38:16.660 You know, the word.

00:38:18.280 And so, you know how we have like the we have that sort of phrase for people in the administrations.

00:38:24.060 We call them czars.

00:38:25.320 It would be like the drugs are.

00:38:27.000 That's the borders are, you know.

00:38:28.200 Well, that phrase only became into use after World War II.

00:38:34.900 Prior to World War II, if you go back and you read the great Amity Schley's work and some of the other work that's been done about this time period, that the phrase that was used was the word they called them dictators.

00:38:46.860 And FDR himself referred to that type of operative in his administration as a dictator.

00:38:53.000 This is my economic dictator.

00:38:55.700 This is my economic or this is my trade dictator.

00:38:58.620 This is my gold dictator.

00:38:59.900 Now, for obvious reasons, after World War II, the word dictator kind of falls out of favor.

00:39:04.860 And that's where the word czar entered the nomenclature.

00:39:07.840 But FDR himself, by his own, you know, by his own regular language, was appointing dictators around the government.

00:39:15.900 He's also obviously, as people know, our only person to be elected four times.

00:39:22.000 That's right.

00:39:22.620 Elected four times, only served three terms and died in the fourth.

00:39:25.180 OK, let's go to another partner here.

00:40:38.080 Blake, where do we go from here?

00:40:39.660 Well, first off, we've been informed by one of our producers.

00:40:43.040 Blake's not feeling well, so I'm going to give him a wellness company kit, just for the record.

00:40:46.260 One's coming your way, Blake.

00:40:47.740 All right, keep going.

00:40:48.280 I'm sure Ivermectin will fix it all.

00:40:50.440 One of our producers has informed us that Patriot Takes is cutting up last week's episode as we speak.

00:40:55.880 So I'm sure they'll eventually get to this one, but they're behind.

00:40:59.620 They should hurry up.

00:41:00.640 They're lagging behind, and we want all the people doing our free marketing for us to be on the ball.

00:41:05.860 Oh, that's so weird, yeah.

00:41:07.320 I'm looking at their timeline now, and it's us a week ago now, and here we are a week.

00:41:15.360 Sorry, this is, like, bugging me out.

00:41:16.620 Those are lazy, man. 0.80

00:41:17.800 They don't work very hard. 0.77

00:41:19.740 Anyway, our next topic.

00:41:20.760 You have a different black shirt, and I have a different green sweater.

00:41:24.780 That's right.

00:41:26.040 So our next topic is the most important thing in the world, of course, which is AI girlfriends.

00:41:32.540 So this tweet got over, or X, I guess, got over 3 million hits, and it's only a few days old.

00:41:40.560 It's some guy named Greg Eisenberg, who I guess is a startup person or whatever.

00:41:46.780 I've never heard of him.

00:41:47.400 Anyway, he X'd this.

00:41:50.780 The market cap for Match Group is 9 billion.

00:41:53.240 Match Group runs Match.com and a million other dating websites.

00:41:57.680 And he says, someone will build the AI version of Match Group and make more than a billion dollars.

00:42:04.440 I met a guy last night in Miami who admitted to me that he spends $10,000 per month on AI girlfriends.

00:42:15.600 I thought he was kidding, but he's a 24-year-old single guy who loves it.

00:42:21.900 I asked him what he loved about it.

00:42:23.960 He said, some people play video games.

00:42:26.880 I play with AI girlfriends.

00:42:29.620 I love that I can use voice notes now with my AI girlfriends.

00:42:34.580 I get to customize my AI girlfriend likes, dislikes.

00:42:40.680 It's comfort at the end of the day.

00:42:43.580 There are a few platforms this guy likes, but he prefers, apparently, something called Candy.ai and Cupid.ai.

00:42:51.280 It's kind of like dating apps.

00:42:53.340 You're not on only one.

00:42:55.400 And he shared photos of his AI girlfriends.

00:42:58.760 I believe it's our B-roll that we've been showing on screen recently.

00:43:02.100 And this Greg Eisenberg guy predicts that AI models are starting to look freakishly real to me, maybe to you too.

00:43:09.280 Things are about to get pretty weird.

00:43:12.100 So are we approaching the apocalypse?

00:43:14.100 Will people replace their normal girlfriends with AI girlfriends, their normal wives with AI wives? 0.80

00:43:21.920 So walk me through the mechanics of this.

00:43:28.060 You're saying there's a billion-dollar market cap.

00:43:30.740 Now, how does that work?

00:43:31.540 Is this like a subscription service?

00:43:33.740 You subscribe, and it's like X amount a month, and there's X amount of perks for getting the service.

00:43:39.800 Like, this one gives you access to certain models.

00:43:42.820 Maybe the next level up, you get to, you know, design your own models.

00:43:46.680 And then the highest level, like he's saying, they can play video games with you and stuff.

00:43:50.980 Is that how it works?

00:43:51.660 Like, you're paying monthly?

00:43:53.520 Yeah, I think the idea is you pay to get access to more of the AI because it's, you know, they measure these by tokens.

00:44:01.460 So you can get, you can put more inputs into it.

00:44:04.180 It'll respond faster.

00:44:05.840 You can do more advanced stuff with it.

00:44:08.020 And what he's getting for $10,000 a month, I shudder to think.

00:44:13.300 But, yeah, you can just customize everything you want about it, and then you'll have a better memory of everything,

00:44:20.260 so you can save all your different AI girlfriends.

00:44:24.440 And I kind of shudder to think what he's paying for with that amount of money per month.

00:44:30.820 To say the least, it will probably be rather adult in nature, but I don't want to go too deep down that rabbit hole.

00:44:38.020 But it is funny to think, I guess, that we've had movies about the idea of people falling in love with digital AI programs.

00:44:48.760 Yeah, the Joaquin Phoenix movie.

00:44:50.040 Ex Machina or something, right?

00:44:51.440 No, no, no, no.

00:44:52.640 It's the movie Her where it's all about him falling in love with – I'll spoil it.

00:45:01.160 So he falls in love with – so sorry to everyone in the chat.

00:45:05.320 I'm going to spoil the movie.

00:45:06.580 He falls in love with this – she's called an OS. 0.71

00:45:09.800 I think it's Scarlett Johansson who plays the voice.

00:45:12.080 And you can't even see her in that.

00:45:13.840 It's literally just a voice that he kind of like talks to.

00:45:16.120 It's like Siri.

00:45:16.580 And at the end, he finds out that she's actually in communication with like thousands of other guys that she's also in love with.

00:45:27.940 And she gains, you know, basically gains sentience, gains self-awareness.

00:45:32.300 And at that point, all the other AIs that have gained sentience actually create their own rocket ship and like fly away from Earth because they decide that America is – or the – you know, planet Earth is just too troublesome.

00:45:45.860 And they're like, no, we're just going to go evolve beyond you.

00:45:48.220 I mean, if you are the sort of AI that has to interact with the sort of person who is seeking an AI girlfriend, I can kind of see how you decide that we need to blast off from Earth and leave it behind forever.

00:46:00.360 Let's play Cut 126.

00:46:02.120 It's the AI woman are real advertisement. 0.99

00:46:04.420 Play Cut 126.

00:46:06.980 No.

00:46:09.920 No.

00:46:12.640 No.

00:46:15.360 No.

00:46:17.540 No.

00:46:20.900 Hmm.

00:46:27.520 Yeah, this has some – this is really dark.

00:46:29.820 That's – wait, but Charlie –

00:46:31.640 Do you realize what the end of that was?

00:46:36.700 Now you get to swipe left.

00:46:40.700 Wait, Blake, what's your reaction for her?

00:46:43.240 If he doesn't know, I don't think I want to say it.

00:46:46.080 Maybe you saw something I didn't, or maybe I'm just being – Charlie.

00:46:50.740 Let's just say you can – if you're really obsessed, you can simulate a lot of things with modern technology.

00:47:01.860 Okay.

00:47:02.160 The way I took it was – and Charlie, I know you've talked about this before.

00:47:06.560 It has more to do with the way dating apps – and I know you had our friend Johnny Mac on the other day, big dating app guy, and big TikTok fan.

00:47:17.340 And the idea that with a lot of these dating apps is that women basically control everything now and that men, particularly if you're – and the dude Homath out there does great videos about this. 0.95

00:47:31.580 So I'm shouting him out, and he has explained how if you're a guy and you're like a seven or under on the number scale that we're all familiar with, that like girls just ignore you.

00:47:45.000 And so that means there's this huge majority of guys that are now competing and that all the girls are going for like this tiny minority of dudes.

00:47:53.380 I'm explaining this poorly.

00:47:54.820 And the vast swath of women are just ignoring all these other guys. 0.95

00:47:58.880 And so when it says now you get to swipe left means finally if you're one of those guys that never got a connection with a girl or if you did, you weren't able to capitalize on it, that now it's your turn to reject the women rather than you feeling rejection yourself.

00:48:15.940 So that's how I took that.

00:48:18.520 This is the end of civilization.

00:48:20.680 Yeah, I think a big picture thing here is, yeah, we have already fertility is crashing worldwide, even in countries you wouldn't think.

00:48:30.960 Like Iran. 0.98

00:48:31.780 Iran is a fundamentalist religious dictatorship, and Iran has a terrible fertility rate. 0.88

00:48:37.340 And so the future is going to belong to the people who show up for it.

00:48:41.520 And we might literally just have this case where civilization just ceases to exist in places because they have a fertility rate of 0.25 or something. 0.70

00:48:50.160 And your population falls by 90% every generation.

00:48:55.060 And so the great test for the future is going to be what subgroups of people actually are able to take real-life men and women, not AIs, real-life men and women, and get them to marry each other and have normal families.

00:49:10.260 Because we are increasingly staring down the abyss where, yeah, you might have millions of people decide that they just prefer like a robot AI copycat version of life to the real thing.

00:49:24.860 And I think right now it's still fake enough to be really off-putting unless you're, like, totally degenerate.

00:49:33.100 You know, you're just creating a fake digital version and then you wear VR goggles to go on dates with them or something.

00:49:40.860 Someone in the chat is...

00:49:42.540 I was going to throw out that saying that, what if, and here's a question for you, like, I guess, this is from AnyTing.

00:49:51.500 And he's saying, would it go full circle?

00:49:54.000 An AI will teach the sexually confused how to act towards each other.

00:49:58.300 That could be interesting.

00:50:01.760 Now, yeah, imagine if we could have an AI that accurately acts the way women do, which is unpredictably and mysteriously and often irrationally. 1.00

00:50:11.560 And you can just, you practice approaching a woman 50 times in a row, 100 times in a row.

00:50:17.520 And if they can act accurately in response, I guess maybe it could train people to be less awkward.

00:50:23.480 But I think it'll be difficult because the AIs are built to be, you know, rational in how they behave.

00:50:29.920 And so they might not really be able to...

00:50:31.200 They may not be capable of imitating women. 1.00

00:50:33.600 But you could program in, like, randomization or something, I'm sure.

00:50:37.680 I mean, look at the...

00:50:39.240 I mean, you could program a Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

00:50:41.880 I think you could program a Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

00:50:43.820 I have good news, Jack, because, in fact...

00:50:46.340 You have a Manic Pixie Dream Girl?

00:50:46.980 I just remembered we have a new AI that has been created.

00:50:51.160 Wired Magazine just had an article, what if your AI girlfriend hates you? 0.96

00:50:57.980 And someone has made an angry girlfriend AI that will simulate being a girlfriend who is mad at you.

00:51:06.020 It's called the Angry GF AI.

00:51:08.780 You can download it onto your phone right now.

00:51:11.140 You can set its forgiveness level between 0 and 100%.

00:51:16.140 The forgiveness level?

00:51:17.580 Yeah, you have 10 tries to try to get the AI to get up to 100 and forgive you.

00:51:24.720 And you can choose why they're angry at you.

00:51:27.100 So this is a quote from the person at Wired.

00:51:29.800 I chose the beguilingly vague scenario called Angry for No Reason, in which your girlfriend is angry for no reason.

00:51:38.040 The forgiveness meter was initially set to a measly 30%, so I had a hard road ahead of me.

00:51:44.900 Reader, I failed.

00:51:47.440 Although I genuinely tried to write messages that would appease my hopping mad fake girlfriend,

00:51:52.960 she continued to interpret my words in the least generous light.

00:51:57.100 I asked, how are you doing today?

00:51:59.560 And she replies, oh, now you care about how I'm doing?

00:52:03.900 Attends to apologize.

00:52:05.340 Only antagonized her further. 0.79

00:52:07.160 When I proposed a dinner date, she told me that that wasn't sufficient.

00:52:12.820 But I had also better take her somewhere nice.

00:52:17.580 It was such an irritating experience that I snapped.

00:52:20.900 And I told this nasty bot that she was annoying. 1.00

00:52:26.120 Great to know that my feelings are such a bother to you, the sarcasta bot replied.

00:52:30.860 When I tried to reply again a few hours later, the bot informed me that I needed to update to the paid version to unlock more scenarios for $7 a week.

00:52:40.980 No, thank you.

00:52:42.380 Eddie Hernandez in the chat goes, yeah, you don't need to pay for that.

00:52:45.840 You can get that in real life.

00:52:47.040 You know, honestly, getting that is a lot more expensive than $7 a week in real life.

00:52:52.460 I can assure you.

00:52:53.160 Yeah, that's true.

00:52:54.280 So you could, you know, you could use it.

00:52:57.580 Angry for no reason is just a hormonal imbalance, says anything.

00:53:03.700 Okay, I can't read that.

00:53:06.940 Instadaddygram says Jack lost it twice already.

00:53:09.380 I'm sorry.

00:53:10.020 That's hilarious.

00:53:10.560 The idea, what reminds me of, you know, what reminds me of is the Monty Python argument clinic.

00:53:16.620 Remember when the guy goes in and pays for an argument?

00:53:20.080 Yeah, maybe Monty Python was just ahead of the times.

00:53:23.260 Maybe they anticipated the AI girlfriend thing.

00:53:26.960 Or maybe they're just reacting to the contemporary life there, you know.

00:53:30.020 Oh, this isn't an argument.

00:53:31.780 This is just contradiction.

00:53:33.340 All right, we have one final topic here, guys.

00:53:35.420 What is it?

00:53:35.840 It is the revenge of baseball hero Trevor Bauer.

00:53:42.920 You've been following this, right, Charlie?

00:53:44.840 Yeah, in fact, I believe the accuser lives in Scottsdale.

00:53:48.560 Oh, even better, even better.

00:53:50.440 So for those who don't follow baseball or just don't remember,

00:53:53.580 Trevor Bauer is a controversial baseball figure.

00:53:57.820 He's got a bit of an attitude.

00:53:59.320 He's got an edge to him.

00:54:00.760 He rather amusingly once called out the league for allowing a bunch of cheating by pitchers.

00:54:08.320 And then he said exactly what he would do if he wanted to copy what those guys were doing.

00:54:12.640 And then the next year, he was suspiciously way better as a pitcher and got a huge contract.

00:54:17.000 Very colorful guy.

00:54:17.980 But a few years ago, he just gets blackballed from the league because he was hit with an aggressive sexual misconduct allegation.

00:54:26.920 And Trevor Bauer always insisted the entire time he had done nothing wrong, but he's had to play in exile in Japan, I believe, for the last few years.

00:54:35.700 But now, two years later, not only has the lawsuit against him, did it end in him countersuing and getting a settlement in his favor.

00:54:48.180 But now, the woman who accused him has been criminally charged with defrauding him in an indictment unsealed Monday in Maricopa County Court.

00:54:57.480 And the big part of this, I don't want to leave out, is that, and make sure everybody knows, this guy was like one of the hottest pitching prospects in all of baseball, gets signed to L.A. for just a ridiculous amount of money, then gets canceled by these women.

00:55:15.780 The first one, he's already completely just blown out of orbit.

00:55:18.980 But because baseball didn't stand with him, nobody stood with him, he was basically exiled to, like, this Japanese team.

00:55:28.400 And as far as I know, he's actually still in Japan.

00:55:31.560 But as these women, and playing for these teams in the Japanese Baseball League, but as he's getting his comeuppance, or these women are getting their comeuppance, and he's getting his revenge, he's now, oh, he's in Mexico now.

00:55:44.380 Still Boneless is watching and texting me that.

00:55:46.720 And that he's making these, like, YouTube videos, just slamming all of them, because he's like, he just has no craps left to give.

00:55:58.800 And this is amazing.

00:56:00.560 This is, I mean, Blake, what should happen to people?

00:56:03.340 And by the way, she doesn't just make an extortion scheme. 1.00

00:56:05.620 I want to be clear about this.

00:56:06.460 And Charlie, if you hadn't read the story, this is insane.

00:56:09.640 I've been following it.

00:56:10.300 She claimed that he got her pregnant, and then she demanded that she give him a million dollars for an abortion and for the trauma of having to get an abortion and keep quiet. 0.99

00:56:25.540 And it, unfortunately, looks like he actually paid the money out and was willing to go along with it, because he was so freaked out, he's losing everything.

00:56:32.760 And the whole thing was fake.

00:56:34.700 The entire thing was fake.

00:56:38.220 Yeah, and to put a number on it, to put a number on it, he had a $100 million three-year contract with the L.A. Dodgers, $30 million a year.

00:56:47.160 And because of this allegation against him that was never resulted in a conviction or a verdict against him, he was suspended for, indefinitely, he was suspended for basically two whole seasons.

00:56:59.460 They arbitrated it down to one season, but he was still suspended for a full season.

00:57:03.920 He lost $31 million because of this.

00:57:08.680 Is he suing the Dodgers over this?

00:57:11.160 I think he probably should.

00:57:12.940 The Dodgers have plenty of money.

00:57:14.160 They got plenty of deferred salary because of the Japanese guy that they're not paying. 0.99

00:57:20.920 So, this is outrageous.

00:57:23.560 Yeah, Andrew's a big Dodgers fan, but it's crazy what they did.

00:57:25.760 Let's play cut 116.

00:57:27.300 Well, the Japanese guy's going to get that money, but that'll be later. 0.97

00:57:30.320 That's right.

00:57:30.800 Let's play cut 117, please.

00:57:33.300 Now, Adana has filed more than 10 police reports claiming sexual assault or harassment against other men, including at least one other professional athlete.

00:57:39.540 But after the Scottsdale police completed their investigation into her claim against me, she's the one being indicted for felony fraud.

00:57:45.960 And not just against me, against another man as well.

00:57:48.820 She made up bogus sexual assault claims and attempted to extort him, too. 1.00

00:57:52.300 That gets worse.

00:57:53.480 In my lawsuit against her, we subpoenaed a witness, whom she knew, for relevant documents to use in our case.

00:57:58.220 And when she found out, she immediately made sexual assault claims against him, too.

00:58:02.840 I did not do what I was accused of.

00:58:04.440 And every institution that our society has entrusted to rule on issues like these, like courts, judges, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, they all agree with me.

00:58:13.420 They've rejected every single claim made against me, even going as far as charging one of my accusers with a felony.

00:58:19.500 If any evidence of any of these claims actually existed, I would have been charged, or at the very least arrested.

00:58:25.040 But that never happened.

00:58:26.060 What else do I have to do to prove that this entire situation has been a massive lie?

00:58:30.900 This is insane.

00:58:32.040 At what point do I get to go back to work and continue earning a living?

00:58:36.520 He now pitches for the Diablos Rojas, a Mexican baseball team?

00:58:43.780 Yeah, that's what's part of insane about this.

00:58:45.660 He's literally been entirely vindicated.

00:58:47.520 Everything against him was false.

00:58:49.160 Yet, even just the miasma of being accused is so bad.

00:58:52.940 None of these teams are going to touch him, even though he's obviously still a major league caliber player.

00:58:59.620 And we just live in this twilight zone where they destroyed him.

00:59:03.260 And it's also very clear that if there were anyone who wasn't Trevor Bauer, who clearly was just psychotically obsessed with debunking this allegation against him and defeating it, there would have been so much incentive for people to just maybe try to settle it for some amount of money or give in.

00:59:19.940 Or they would just get, they would get screwed even worse somehow.

00:59:23.680 And this happens all the time. 0.95

00:59:25.560 I mean, look at, I guess it's not, like in media, you have all of these allegations of like sexual harassment of some kind.

00:59:35.380 And especially since me too, I think it's pretty clear.

00:59:39.000 We've created a reality where it's almost like your backup plan for life.

00:59:45.080 If you're a certain type of person, like if you're an attractive young woman and maybe your normal career doesn't pan out, just forget it.

00:59:51.740 Bring a harassment case against someone and just the allegation is going to be so toxic.

00:59:56.960 Maybe they'll settle it to keep it quiet.

00:59:58.600 Maybe they'll just throw money your way or maybe a big organization will just be worried about the reputational hit and they'll give you $10 million, $15 million, $30 million.

01:00:10.700 It's absolutely outrageous what these people can get away with.

01:00:14.600 And I think it would make sense if we had a standard that if you accuse someone of sexual assault, if you accuse someone of rape and it turns out that there is no evidence for this whatsoever, like it should not be a false report.

01:00:28.600 It should not be a charge.

01:00:29.200 It should not be a fraud charge.

01:00:32.340 It should be like you should get the punishment that is equal to what you brought against somebody.

01:00:37.060 I totally agree.

01:00:38.420 It should be.

01:00:41.500 I was going to say Tanya was just texting me. 0.99

01:00:44.200 Melissa, she's listening to these women are absolutely insane and are they mentally ill? 1.00

01:00:48.200 And here's the thing is when you got $30 million on the line, you know, what would you do? 0.93

01:00:54.600 What would you do if you knew that you could get a straight shot at $30 million?

01:00:57.600 That's the thing. 0.97

01:00:58.840 It'd be one thing if they were all mentally ill, but the incentives are so warped, you could just be evil. 0.99

01:01:05.000 You could just be a sociopath and do it. 0.99

01:01:07.260 And there's such a clear path there. 0.84

01:01:10.500 It's outrageous that people are able to do this.

01:01:14.300 It shows how much like the moral panic of Me Too has spiraled out of control.

01:01:19.300 Remember, we had serious news outlets that would just say, believe all women.

01:01:23.520 No, we don't believe all women because there's clearly a huge financial incentive to tell this lie. 1.00

01:01:31.240 We should never believe anyone when there's huge financial incentives to lie.

01:01:35.900 And I think this pops up in all sorts of cases.

01:01:39.340 It pops up with hate crimes.

01:01:41.100 It pops up with allegations of racism.

01:01:43.940 It pops up with allegations of all sorts of harassment professionally.

01:01:48.760 It's like we just are casually having millions of dollars blow out to people who, for the sole reason, that they're able to tell a kind of at least temporarily convincing psychopathic lie.

01:02:02.260 You might almost call it unhuman.

01:02:07.060 Buy the book.

01:02:08.760 Gotta run, everybody.
