Transcript

00:00:00.000 And it looks like they've been really prepping it for a long time.
00:00:04.000 I know the idea has been revived under this labor government.
00:00:07.000 Ministers have been looking at a digital ID scheme in Estonia and Eastern Europe, which is used to access public services.
00:00:14.000 And they believe that attitudes towards ID cards have softened as concerns about illegal immigration have risen.
00:00:21.000 Bingo.
00:00:22.000 Here's my rabbit hole.
00:00:24.000 Just go with me for just a second on this.
00:00:27.000 For a long time we've been wondering why would these countries allow themselves to be overrun by immigrants who don't share their values at all.
00:00:40.000 It's not about brown, black, Asian, white.
00:00:44.000 That's not the issue at all.
00:00:46.000 The issue is culture.
00:00:47.000 It always has been, right?
00:00:50.000 The problem in these countries is that they're being overrun with populations of people that absolutely have nothing in common with their society.
00:01:00.000 They're opposite section.
00:01:01.000 Right.
00:01:01.000 You you start putting in these very godless societies, and I understand the qualms with Europe, but at least it has a very Catholic backbone to it, a very Christian backbone.
00:01:11.000 Francis.
00:01:11.000 These Asian countries, India, Pakistan, African countries to some degree.
00:01:16.000 They don't really have that same Christian backbone historically.
00:01:20.000 There is some, obviously, in Northern Africa, and I understand where Christianity started.
00:01:23.000 Don't go down that rabbit trail with me.
00:01:25.000 Just follow what I'm saying.
00:01:26.000 They don't really map onto our form of civilization very well with these shared ideals and morals.
00:01:32.000 Some better than others, but these groups in particular, the ones from countries that are highly Islamic and the ones that come from countries like India and Pakistan, they don't really map on very well.
00:01:42.000 Why would they open their doors for decades?
00:01:46.000 Like you could look around and see decimating these places.
00:01:50.000 And then have a system set up where if they can just get to one point of entry across all of these different countries, they can go anywhere within the European Union.
00:02:02.000 And we just we're scratching our heads going, what are we doing?
00:02:04.000 And then, after books have been written on this, after arguments have been had, after data has been analyzed and people have said we are fed up with this, and these movements start happening all across Europe, the United States starts doing the exact same thing with its southern border.
00:02:18.000 Why in the world would they do that?
00:02:22.000 Now listen, I'm not saying this is, but I'm saying an answer that I just heard that reporter give towards the very end was they're so fed up with illegal immigration, their attitude towards the digital ID has softened.
00:02:35.000 That's scary.
00:02:37.000 Because I don't know, other than stealing an election, but I don't think it's as simple as that here in the United States.
00:02:43.000 I don't think it's quite as easy.
00:02:45.000 I think it's very, very plausible, if not necessarily likely, but plausible that you allow a problem so that you can present the solution.
00:02:53.000 And digital ID for them might be that solution.
00:02:57.000 Getting all of that information in one place.
00:02:58.000 And this is something that you have to fight.
00:03:00.000 Britain's Americans, everybody.
00:03:01.000 I didn't realize that several countries in Europe already have this.
00:03:04.000 I believe Germany put this in place and it didn't do anything to help their immigration problem.
00:03:08.000 I think Nigel Farage was talking about that.
00:03:09.000 By the way, he's up on Starmer right now, pretty big.
00:03:12.000 I think he's got like a six-point lead in the latest polls because he's much tougher on immigration, even though Nigel wasn't as tough as he needed to be.
00:03:18.000 He took a harder line stance and now is doing very well.
00:03:21.000 And it matters because I don't want this stuff coming to us.
00:03:24.000 We don't want digital ID.
00:03:26.000 You want to do a deep dive on it?
00:03:27.000 Look at what's going on in China.
00:03:29.000 I know that's a much more difficult situation to kind of parse out, but if you want to travel, if you want to have a bank account, you want to avoid public shaming, you want to avoid having all of your data in one place for the government, AI to be able to use, and then COVID happens.
00:03:44.000 You don't get you don't get work.
00:03:45.000 You don't have the jab.
00:03:47.000 Completely shut out.
00:03:48.000 You don't get to travel, you don't get to access your bank account, you don't get to rent.
00:03:52.000 You don't get any public services at all.
00:03:55.000 It's it's a it really is a dystopian type of future if we let this go that direction.
00:04:01.000 So everybody in Britain needs to come out.
00:04:03.000 I mean, I I thought he had picked every bad policy you could pick to get people to protest and put up the the flag everywhere around the country, but I guess he found a new one that he thought was going to get people behind him, and hopefully it results in the end of his administration and Britain finally going back towards its roots a little bit more.
00:04:22.000 But Josh, you actually had a question you wanted to ask before we go.
00:04:24.000 Yeah, before we move on to the next one.
00:04:29.000 How is thank you for answering my question?
00:04:33.000 How is this digital ID requirement to work?
00:04:36.000 How is that different from a social security number here in the States?
00:04:39.000 Aaron Powell So the the reason it's different and having an ID to prove you're a citizen, I don't really have much of a problem with that.
00:04:46.000 Now I know there's some people that will still have a problem with that.
00:04:48.000 I don't.
00:04:48.000 I understand that you have to be able to identify citizens like with a driver's license or some kind of government issued ID to be able to do that.
00:04:55.000 Yeah, but apparently that's not a good thing.
00:04:56.000 But if you want to vote, you gotta have one.
00:04:58.000 Right.
00:04:58.000 Can't say that because it's racist, apparently.
00:05:00.000 Um I think it's different because this is a digital system where all of this information is going to be stored kind of in one place.
00:05:06.000 And are they taking biometrics from it?
00:05:08.000 Well, I think Is that part of it too?
00:05:10.000 Because that'd be something I would that would definitely, you know, fight against the Trevor Burrus.
00:05:14.000 Right now the TSA stuff that they're doing is taking biometric information from people in the United States when they did the news report, they were looking back to Yeah, you can.
00:05:22.000 You can say no.
00:05:23.000 They you could they hearken back to a report from like I think 2005 or 2010.
00:05:28.000 There was another time that they tried to start implementing this, and it was all biometric data as well.
00:05:32.000 Uh basically had to look into like the the cameras at that time, they're a little bit bigger uh technology is advanced, but it's putting all of this stuff in one digital space that the government now has access and control over.
00:05:44.000 And can do whatever you want to do.
00:05:45.000 That is the problem.
00:05:48.000 There may be safeguards in place.
00:05:49.000 And hopefully they have the best intentions, you know, in heart.
00:05:52.000 Yeah.
00:05:52.000 But no one ever does.
00:05:54.000 I I don't I just don't think it's government never does.
00:05:57.000 No, that's what I mean.
00:05:57.000 Absolutely.
00:05:58.000 That's what I mean.
00:05:59.000 No one in any government ever has only the best intentions.
00:06:02.000 Right.
00:06:02.000 There's always some kind of intent other intention.
00:06:04.000 Like, are they gonna I mean are they gonna sell this information?
00:06:08.000 Well, so are they going to use it to find people?
00:06:10.000 Are they gonna use it to persecute people?
00:06:12.000 How are they finding people for memes?
00:06:15.000 Control.
00:06:16.000 Using it to control people.
00:06:17.000 That is what this is about.
00:06:18.000 Ultimately, at the end of the day, the nefarious plot on this side.
00:06:22.000 I'm not saying this is ultimately the nefarious plot.
00:06:24.000 I'm saying in general, what the nefarious plot is with your information is to control you.
00:06:29.000 Now there are a lot of ways to do that that are very overt, like they do in China and other places, freezing bank accounts in Vietnam.
00:06:36.000 Um that's overt control.
00:06:39.000 You have to do what we say, otherwise you can't do XYZ, right?
00:06:42.000 But there's also covert control where they manipulate you and feed you information and stories and and based on all of your data to make you believe something is true and to kind of force you into doing this.
00:06:54.000 It's like the inception issue where you basically think it's your own idea, essentially, to behave this way or to react this way to something.
00:07:01.000 And that is just as nefarious in my mind.
00:07:03.000 I don't want the government having all of our data.
00:07:05.000 Elon Musk didn't buy Twitter to say free speech.
00:07:08.000 Maybe that was a part of it.
00:07:10.000 Elon Musk doesn't understand free speech.
00:07:12.000 So that's why I can say that with some clarity.
00:07:14.000 Maybe he liked the idea of political discourse, but he really doesn't understand free speech, and he's learned more and more over time what that really does look like, but not when he bought it.
00:07:22.000 X is definitely more free speech than it used to be, but it's not completely define as a free speech.
00:07:30.000 He bought it for data.
00:07:31.000 Yeah.
00:07:31.000 This was not a play of like I can turn Twitter around and make it something better.
00:07:35.000 This was I need data for my training, my AIC training.
00:07:39.000 Like I need to have as much data as possible to train these AI models.
00:07:42.000 But it was a good selling point, just like how Kirst Armers using the selling point of uh even going to this press conference and doing one thing which I kind of respect, but at the same time is like I it's kind of a uh a tricky tactic where he said uh we we've been a bit squeamish.
00:07:55.000 On this in the past.
00:07:56.000 And it kind of okay, well thanks for acknowledging that.
00:07:59.000 But did you do this on purpose?
00:08:01.000 You're going down the wrong path.
00:08:03.000 Did you bring all these people, let these people come in all you know, laissez faire all you know just so you can convince the people who didn't want the mandatory ID that we now need the mandatory ID?
00:08:14.000 Because they're like, oh well, if you're finally gonna attack this immigration problem, then I guess sure.
00:08:18.000 Yeah, you can take all my biometrics and take my identification and take my information.
00:08:22.000 Just know everything about me.
00:08:23.000 I I don't like it.
00:08:24.000 I don't think you guys should like it.
00:08:25.000 Let me know in the chat.
00:08:26.000 Let me know what you guys think about this, if if this mm rabbit hole of mine.
00:08:30.000 Well they've been talking how uh we're already implementing real ID here, which is kind of baby steps towards the same thing.
00:08:37.000 I I so I'm not as on what real ID is in the States.
00:08:41.000 Like I I got one of those notices that said you had to have real ID, but if your card has this logo on it already, it is real ID.
00:08:47.000 You already have to do that.
00:08:49.000 Yeah, they didn't.
00:08:49.000 Yeah, Texas already has it.
00:08:51.000 I just don't know how it's different from other licenses.
00:08:52.000 I haven't done a lot of research on it, so I apologize.
00:08:54.000 But I heard it's a good idea.
00:08:55.000 I'm assuming they mean like it it's stored more in a database and it it could be linked to other things, but it isn't yet.
00:09:02.000 Aaron Powell Yeah.
00:09:02.000 I'm a I'm I'm gonna understand where it comes from.
00:09:06.000 You cannot fly without a real ID.
00:09:07.000 Correct.
00:09:07.000 Yeah.
00:09:08.000 I think that went into effect sometime this year before summertime or around summer.
00:09:12.000 Might be able to have a pass passport might work instead of a real ID, but yeah.
00:09:15.000 Yeah.
00:09:15.000 But a passport does come with biometrics.
00:09:17.000 Yeah.
00:09:18.000 You needed a passport to get the new license here.
00:09:21.000 Oh, did you?
00:09:22.000 A significant form of identification.
00:09:24.000 Right.
00:09:25.000 Passport.
00:09:25.000 And just a student ID that I made in my basement.
00:09:28.000 No, can't do that.
00:09:29.000 I understand wanting to have information available and having it across platforms.
00:09:33.000 That idea makes sense.
00:09:34.000 But the problem is what governments and nefarious actors could do with it.
00:09:38.000 Governments aren't completely secure.
00:09:40.000 Come on.
00:09:41.000 Like we know motivated people can get access to information in systems they're not supposed to have access to, so why would we put everything in one place?
00:09:48.000 It's like make them work for it.
00:09:49.000 If you get hacked over here, at least you're not hacked over here and here and here and here, like your passwords for your different accounts.
00:09:55.000 Like if you got one to kind of rule them all, then it's like, well, that that makes it a little harder to make sure that you're secure.
00:10:00.000 So I have a lot of I have a lot of issues with that.
00:10:02.000 I would like to see what you guys have to say in the chat in just a minute.
00:10:05.000 Uh but I I felt like we would be remiss if we didn't cover this.
00:10:08.000 Um I I know that you know a number of people saw this happen yesterday, that the attack on a Mormon church uh in Grand Blanc, so the LDS church uh in Grand Blanc, Michigan, uh, where this gentleman opened fire and uh ended up setting the church on fire as well.
00:10:24.000 We begin without breaking news out of grand blank talentship, a mass shooting and fire at a church has left at least four people dead and eight others injured.
00:10:33.000 The shooter is also dead.
00:10:35.000 Do me a favor and admonish me really quickly.
00:10:37.000 Oh you you want it?
00:10:39.000 Uh well, I wanted it's for a good reason, and I'll tell you why as you do it.
00:10:42.000 I feel weird about this.
00:10:43.000 Just do it.
00:10:44.000 Trust me, go along with me.
00:10:45.000 I said gentlemen, I meant human piece of excrement.
00:10:50.000 Shot the church up and set it on fire.
00:10:53.000 So the shooter is full of scumbag piece of absolute crap.
00:10:57.000 Yeah.
00:10:57.000 Not gentlemen.
00:10:58.000 My apologies.
00:10:59.000 So here's what we know.
00:11:00.000 The shooter was a 40-year-old Iraq war veteran.
00:11:02.000 Um his son is battling uh congenital disease.
00:11:06.000 Uh obviously I hate to hear that about his son.
00:11:09.000 And the media immediately tried to paint this as a right-wing uh political act of violence.
00:11:15.000 And primarily it was initially because of the American flags on the truck that was driven into the church, also a Trump sign on the house and a picture of the shooter wearing a Trump t-shirt in 2020 or at least talking about the 2020 um election.
00:11:29.000 So the authorities have not yet established a motive and uh included including whether he was motivated by his son's condition, politics, or or really anything else.
00:11:38.000 And so we don't have a whole lot of additional information.
00:11:40.000 Here's what I wanted to say.
00:11:42.000 If it turns out that this person is a right wing extremist who shot up an LDS church because he thought it would advance his political ideas or ideology, I absolutely unequivocally condemn that.
00:11:55.000 It should never happen.
00:11:56.000 Ever.
00:11:57.000 He's an evil piece of crap to do that.
00:11:59.000 He's an evil piece of crap to do that, no matter what the reason is, and that includes being insane.
00:12:03.000 I have no idea what this person's motives were.
00:12:07.000 Two things on top of that that I would like to tell you.
00:12:09.000 For those of you right now who are responding to Mike Lee's post about the LDS church and how it is another branch of Christianity.
00:12:17.000 I have my issues, but that's a conversation for another day.
00:12:21.000 The only thing that we should be doing right now, and I'm not I'm not saying that Mike Lee was wrong for putting that out.
00:12:27.000 What I'm saying is the responses, starting a debate about that right now and disagreeing with that and saying some very mean for clicks things to Mike Lee, now is not the time for that.
00:12:38.000 Now is the time to pray for, to love and to support the people in the LDS community that are obviously mourning something that happened to people that were their own.
00:12:49.000 I think we can all do that, no matter what group they are a part of, no matter what we think about their faith.
00:12:55.000 I think that's very easy for us to do, unless, of course, we have deeper problems that speak a lot more about us than they do about them.
00:13:03.000 And for the record, every interaction I've ever had with Mormons has been spectacular.
00:13:08.000 Including the guy who helped us find the church that we were trying to find for the busload of people that I was with who said, don't ever let it be said that the Mormons didn't help you.
00:13:18.000 It's like I didn't know that was a thing.
00:13:19.000 I didn't know that you guys walked around hearing that.
00:13:21.000 Oh, they're helpers, dude.
00:13:22.000 Very helpful, very nice.
00:13:23.000 They are.
00:13:24.000 They are the helpers of the world.
00:13:26.000 They will do if if if you ever have a Mormon missionary, I guess what they call it.
00:13:30.000 If they come to your house to try to teach you about their new book, their new hit book, the whatever it's called, the Mormon Bible Book of Mormon.
00:13:37.000 Is that right?
00:13:38.000 Uh you let them in.
00:13:39.000 Let them in and let them talk.
00:13:40.000 And then after they're done talking, they might ask you, well, you can probe them.
00:13:44.000 Uh they will help you with chores.
00:13:47.000 You can't use people for the company.
00:13:48.000 Yes, you can absolutely use them for chores.
00:13:51.000 No, that's not right.
00:13:51.000 Yeah, they put out moving companies.
00:13:53.000 Wait till you need to find out.
00:13:54.000 In Salt Lake City, there's moving companies that went out of business because Mormons kept helping other people move.
00:13:58.000 Yeah.
00:13:59.000 I think the situation has improved over the last two couple decades, but yeah.
00:14:03.000 A couple of decades in the world.
00:14:04.000 No, I think more onto you know because you're like, hey, yeah, can you tell me about by the way, Pearl of Great Price, love the book.
00:14:11.000 I just need a little bit more instruction.
00:14:12.000 Can you help me move my sofa?
00:14:14.000 They love it, dude.
00:14:15.000 They love going in.
00:14:16.000 The opportunity to know how many people slam the door in their face.
00:14:18.000 No people say, get out of here.
00:14:20.000 Don't ever come back.
00:14:21.000 No, I'm Christian.
00:14:21.000 I don't I'm not interested.
00:14:22.000 No, thank you.
00:14:23.000 The fact that you let them in, you let them tell, you let them tell you their story.
00:14:28.000 Oh, they're ecstatic.
00:14:29.000 They're like 17.
00:14:30.000 They're out.
00:14:30.000 That's what they're doing.
00:14:31.000 They go their whole goal is to help people and to spread the word of Mormonism.
00:14:35.000 And move.
00:14:35.000 Let them, yeah.
00:14:36.000 Or hey, look, I got some cobwebs in the garage.
00:14:39.000 Let's go.
00:14:39.000 It's not nice.
00:14:40.000 I gotta move some stuff to the A. I started this off because I wanted to be nice to this, and you've just turned it into something completely stupid.
00:14:48.000 I'm not I'm giving them what they want, dude.
00:14:50.000 How do you know?
00:14:50.000 How do you know they're not obligated I've done it?
00:14:53.000 It's one of those things.
00:14:54.000 I need my facia uh painted.
00:14:56.000 Your face shot.
00:14:57.000 What's your facial?
00:14:57.000 What is that?
00:14:58.000 What are you just how you say it?
00:14:59.000 Oh, underneath the overhang?
00:15:00.000 Yeah, I understand.
00:15:02.000 Yeah, get that painted for you.
00:15:02.000 You guys know any Mormons sending my way?
00:15:04.000 You're like, hold on, let me get the paint.
00:15:06.000 Tell me to be a ladder and then we'll talk about this outside.
00:15:08.000 I'll get the gear first.
00:15:10.000 You tell me as you're uh paint the fence.
00:15:11.000 Someone else has to get me the Mormons.
00:15:13.000 Okay.
00:15:14.000 I think you can actually arrange for them to come visit your house.
00:15:17.000 So this is this there might be a lot of things.
00:15:19.000 Yeah, that's why.
00:15:22.000 Just one?
00:15:23.000 Yeah.
00:15:23.000 But you'll end up on a list forever, by the way.
00:15:25.000 Yeah.
00:15:26.000 You gotta you gotta let them talk about their book, though.
00:15:28.000 That's like a big part of it.
00:15:30.000 That's fair.
00:15:30.000 Yeah, you gotta let them and then really just kinda you know, maybe fake it a little bit, like, oh, really?
00:15:34.000 And then what happened?
00:15:35.000 I just I feel like this is going to a really dark place.
00:15:38.000 When I was trying to be helpful, pray for these people.
00:15:40.000 Now let me go back to the serious nature of this.
00:15:42.000 Obviously, we handle some of the seriousness with a little bit of comedy, very sad situation.
00:15:46.000 Four people dead, I believe is what they were saying.
00:15:48.000 Eight people right now wounded, was it seven six or seven still missing because of the fire?
00:15:52.000 Yeah, that's what they earlier they were saying seven ones.
00:15:55.000 I don't know for sure, but the number is close to that.
00:15:57.000 So it's uh a devastating situation.
00:16:00.000 I really do I want to know why.
00:16:01.000 Now, I wanna say this too.
00:16:04.000 For those of you pieces of crap on the left who are immediately running out and saying, see, this is right wing extreme isn't and violence.
00:16:13.000 It's okay to make an assumption with some information when it makes sense.
00:16:19.000 When you start to go, hey, these things are starting to add up for that.
00:16:22.000 How in the world does it advance right wing ideology to attack Mormons?
00:16:28.000 That doesn't make yeah, that's not gonna help a whole lot of sense anyway.
00:16:31.000 If you don't like Mormons, typically the the biggest thing against Mormons is the annoying thing, maybe.
00:16:36.000 Very nice people.
00:16:37.000 Or that they are conservative.
00:16:38.000 Yes.
00:16:39.000 So people don't like that, it seems like the natural thing to go, aha, this is somebody trying to, you know, do this.
00:16:46.000 I know that Candace just did a video.
00:16:48.000 We lampooned it, I think everybody else did about the bees.
00:16:51.000 Um, and I think it was this Mormon kind of connection to this, the whole deal.
00:16:56.000 And I I don't know if that had anything to do with it at all, but if that's kind of where people are pulling from, they didn't even say that.
00:17:03.000 Like I I was racking my brain.
00:17:04.000 I'm like, how in the world could you just assume, other than seeing American flags in the back of the pickup truck that ran the church?
00:17:10.000 Which immediately made me think.
00:17:12.000 At the very least, it's weird that leftists think if you have an American flag, you must be somebody on the right.
00:17:19.000 What sucks even more is that they're they're they're really highlighting that part of the story that he had two American flags, as if to say, if you have American flags, you're probably a bad person.
00:17:30.000 Yeah, you're certainly not a leftist if you have American flags and respect this country.
00:17:35.000 Not that that person did, but just the fact that they say that all the time now.
00:17:39.000 It's like a symbol of oppression.
00:17:40.000 I don't know.
00:17:41.000 But as more information comes out, we will cover it.
00:17:43.000 And like I said, if this turns out to be somebody who was trying, not just somebody who happened to vote R. That's not what we're talking about on the left.
00:17:51.000 We're talking about violence as a prescription to change or intimidate or put your ideas forcibly onto someone else.
00:18:03.000 Yeah, it's not like that's a different thing.
00:18:04.000 It's not like people in the right wing media are coming out and and saying, Oh, you know what the big problem is with our country, Mormons.
00:18:10.000 It's not like the president came out and said, you know, these Mormons are uh really the biggest threat to our democracy.
00:18:16.000 These Mormons are a threat to your rights and your freedoms.
00:18:18.000 No one did that.
00:18:19.000 That doesn't make any sense why this would be some kind of politically motivated attack.
00:18:23.000 It's tragic and it's it's terrible.
00:18:26.000 And if it is for some reason in this psychopath's head, some form of politically motivated attack, then I would condemn it a thousand percent.
00:18:34.000 Yeah.
00:18:35.000 So here's what we have to do.
00:18:36.000 And I I we've been talking about this for a very long time, and I hope this changes, and then we'll take your chat.
00:18:40.000 So make sure we have some good ones.
00:18:42.000 We'll go to chat right after this.
00:18:43.000 We need to be able to carry at churches.
00:18:47.000 Full stop.
00:18:49.000 Carry.
00:18:50.000 If you can carry in your state, a church should not be off limits.
00:18:54.000 Why make a soft target?
00:18:58.000 Churches are off limits for carrying sometimes there are rules that you cannot carry at churches.
00:19:04.000 Oh Tim's like, ha, I hope I didn't break any rules.
00:19:09.000 Sure, I've never done that.
00:19:10.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:19:11.000 You should and I don't care.
00:19:12.000 Listen, churches, church leaders, whatever your policy is, tomorrow it needs to be.
00:19:16.000 You know what?
00:19:16.000 If you're if you've got a concealed carry permit or you're allowed in this state to carry, you can carry to protect your family, to protect those around you.
00:19:26.000 Better.
00:19:27.000 Better than having soft targets.
00:19:28.000 We've talked about this with schools all the time.
00:19:30.000 Why make a soft target and depend on a resource officer happening to be in the right place at the right time, we've seen over and over and over and over and over where that does not work for a number of different reasons.
00:19:42.000 We want teachers carrying that are supposed to be allowed to carry.
00:19:46.000 We want it be to safely.
00:19:47.000 We want people to make sure that's the same.
00:19:49.000 Well, there was one in Des Moines that was carrying it.
00:19:51.000 Well, he he was a superintendent.
00:19:54.000 So he thought he had special privileges, even though he was here illegally.
00:19:57.000 But that that should be the case.
00:19:58.000 I don't want to have to go to church and worry.
00:20:02.000 But if somebody comes in and starts trying to hurt people that there's nobody really there that can take care of the problem and don't say, well, the church has security.
00:20:09.000 Yeah, I understand that, but there's a reason we can carry.
00:20:11.000 It's not all church.
00:20:15.000 That's right.
00:20:16.000 And what am I supposed to just go, oh well well, the well, the church, the church has security, so I'm uh so I'm okay.
00:20:21.000 The school has security, so it's like never what I say.
00:20:24.000 No, I that's what I'm saying.
00:20:26.000 Why am I like I I'm not gonna let the government or any other organ take care of my life?
00:20:32.000 I protect myself, bro.
00:20:33.000 Yeah.
00:20:33.000 No, absolutely.
00:20:34.000 And I hope I hope they find out why.
00:20:36.000 Uh so it says here that there's supposed to be, I guess, an update on the attack here in Michigan in just a minute.
00:20:42.000 Um, and we'll we'll get into that.
00:20:44.000 So uh okay.
00:20:45.000 Let's take uh let's take some chats.
00:20:47.000 Mr. Noodles.
00:20:49.000 All right.
00:20:49.000 First chat from Curtin.
00:20:51.000 Before we do that, I just wanted to take this chance and interrupt noodles because I know it frustrates him to know.
00:20:56.000 I won't do it again, though.
00:20:57.000 I just had to get it out of my system.
00:20:59.000 I might have done.
00:20:59.000 Oh, come on.
00:21:00.000 It's not an odd scene, but it's something that just it just it throws him into a bit of a tizzy.
00:21:05.000 So that's why you're admonished.
00:21:07.000 Thank you.
00:21:08.000 Appreciate it.
00:21:08.000 Well, did you have something to say or oh cool?
00:21:11.000 All right.
00:21:12.000 Well, here, real quick to go back on a point earlier, it was open AI.
00:21:16.000 That was the uh cloud deal you were.
00:21:20.000 Yeah, thank you very much.
00:21:21.000 Okay.
00:21:21.000 300 billion dollars.
00:21:23.000 Jeez.
00:21:23.000 Yeah.
00:21:25.000 All right.
00:21:26.000 Uh first chat from Alyeti.
00:21:28.000 Do you think the digital ID would lead to a social score monitoring system?
00:21:32.000 Also, if they use it for voting, they control who you vote for and if you vote the right way.
00:21:38.000 Yeah.
00:21:39.000 I mean, I I I when we covered the story in China, and I was talking with Lane the Brain about this earlier today, and he said it's a little, it's a more nuanced, but all of the bad parts are still there.
00:21:48.000 It's just you have to be careful that you say it the right way, because there's multiple systems that are kind of in place here.
00:21:53.000 But ultimately, the end result is you basically have a social credit score that gets public shaming.
00:22:00.000 I don't know, I don't know if we had video on that.
00:22:01.000 I uh we don't need to pull it in.
00:22:03.000 But you guys can go and search this where like I think somebody's facial recognition either was set off by something or um it was just in their neighborhood where it was talking about them, like having a low score or something like that.
00:22:14.000 So there's like public shaming of individuals.
00:22:17.000 Like these individuals have low score, like in your area, or somebody was walking by and it triggered like a facial recognition that showed that.
00:22:24.000 I can't remember what it was, but it was very, very similar to what I just said.
00:22:27.000 And I'm like, that that's bad enough.
00:22:29.000 That's very That that's very like George Orwell 1984 stuff.
00:22:34.000 But then it got worse.
00:22:35.000 Like people couldn't travel certain distances or by certain methods, they couldn't have bank accounts.
00:22:39.000 Like there were all kinds of stuff.
00:22:40.000 And then people started using those social credit scores in how they did business with people.
00:22:44.000 Because if you were friends with them, you started to get tagged by having multiple friends that either had wrong ideas or low scores, and that brought your score down.
00:22:53.000 And so they started to get shunned in the community.
00:22:55.000 So it's a great way to incentivize appropriate behavior.
00:23:02.000 Well, that that that was them too.
00:23:04.000 They didn't have to have digital ID.
00:23:05.000 No, they didn't they just shut them down.
00:23:07.000 Just shut them down, right?
00:23:08.000 They just shut down protests and it's not a good thing.
00:23:11.000 Phenomenally easier because you can basically shut everything down in one place if they tie these systems together the way they want to.
00:23:17.000 So it's not a guarantee, but it definitely definitely sets the path to be way easier.
00:23:23.000 Well, because the the UK government was putting all of these different services in it.
00:23:26.000 So there it's one of those things that they go with utility.
00:23:29.000 If you have this app, there's so much convenience that comes with it that you won't want to use anything else.
00:23:35.000 They didn't even have to force you at that point to do that.
00:23:37.000 At some point, maybe they do make it mandatory because you know, maintaining these separate systems is no longer viable.
00:23:43.000 70% of people are already doing it this way, now it's mandatory.
00:23:46.000 And all the people that were holdouts just get pushed right along with it.
00:23:49.000 So yeah, I'm very worried about that.
00:23:51.000 I don't want that for my family.
00:23:52.000 I don't want that for kids growing up in the world today, having to deal with that crap, it's just insane.
00:23:58.000 It lays the groundwork for it, and I I hate it.
00:24:00.000 So no.
00:24:00.000 All right.
00:24:01.000 Next chat.
00:24:02.000 Next chat from Sensei Earn.
00:24:04.000 Uh government always screws up data.
00:24:07.000 How hard will it be to get your life back if erroneously you're not logged as a citizen?
00:24:12.000 You're logged as not a citizen.
00:24:13.000 Yeah.
00:24:14.000 Well, that would be bad.
00:24:16.000 I mean, I don't know what you would do with that, but they theoretically that could happen.
00:24:20.000 Yeah, I guess.
00:24:22.000 I guess I can't work, I can't eat, I can't fly anywhere to where I can work and eat.
00:24:27.000 Like I don't have any means of transport.
00:24:30.000 I mean, it it it's it's everything that you're afraid of.
00:24:33.000 Everything that you can possibly imagine with tyrannical government overreach, that's it.
00:24:38.000 So let's not do that.
00:24:41.000 I'm even I'm even that way to some degree with like these everything apps.
00:24:45.000 Like I know WhatsApp for us is not is it way, wait, is it it's WhatsApp, right?
00:24:50.000 That's in China that's really huge.
00:24:52.000 Like you can do all your purchasing and a bunch of other stuff through there.
00:24:54.000 It's either WhatsApp or uh another app that's kind of similar.
00:24:57.000 But it it's those kinds of things.
00:24:58.000 Elon Musk wants X to be the everything app.
00:25:01.000 Um he's wanted that since the very beginning.
00:25:03.000 So this is not a new thing for him.
00:25:04.000 I'm not sure what his motives are with that, other than just dominating that space, but he wanted it to be like you do all your commerce through this app into other places and have it connect everything, does payment processing everything.
00:25:16.000 And that's what he tried to set up originally before he went into PayPal was something that would end up being like that.
00:25:20.000 Because he saw this happening in China, not with PayPal.
00:25:25.000 WeChat, thank you.
00:25:25.000 Sorry.
00:25:26.000 Um I think he wants us to kind of mirror that because the technology there is pretty advanced for that.
00:25:33.000 You just basically scan a QR code and a lot of stuff and you're paying, and he wants that.
00:25:37.000 I don't like it even then, because you can just get that information hacked.
00:25:40.000 And now what do you do?
00:25:42.000 So anyway.
00:25:42.000 Yeah.
00:25:43.000 All right.
00:25:44.000 Next chat from Curtain 147, which apparently Nick DePaulo's pen name.
00:25:48.000 Question to Father Mulcahy.
00:25:50.000 Do you believe the UK is still redeemable considering that Starmer's approval rating is in the negatives, despite the high influx of Muslim elections?
00:25:57.000 Leave it up for a second.
00:25:58.000 So Father Mulcay, is this actually Nick DePallo?
00:26:01.000 Man, you had me for a second there.
00:26:02.000 So do you believe that?
00:26:03.000 No, he has a show on Rumble.
00:26:04.000 I think he has his own personality.
00:26:05.000 Yeah, but he he handle.
00:26:07.000 That's true, he might.
00:26:08.000 But he might be like on this could be like his pseudonym, you know.
00:26:10.000 Yeah, maybe something like that.
00:26:11.000 All right, bring it back up.
00:26:12.000 I gotta read the question again.
00:26:13.000 I was thrown off by the Father Mulcahy thing.
00:26:14.000 Considering that star do you think the UK is still redeemable?
00:26:17.000 This rating is in the negatives despite the high influx of Muslim immigrants.
00:26:20.000 Oh, well, I think the U listen, I do think it's redeemable, but the steps to redeem it are every day becoming more dramatic, more drastic.
00:26:30.000 Okay, that's fair to say.
00:26:31.000 Yeah, maybe they're not willing to, though it is possible to redeem the country.
00:26:34.000 Uh, listen, I think you've got to have a lot of people over there that stand up and basically start making dramatic corrections.
00:26:42.000 Like you kind of have to have civil disobedience of a lot of different things from a lot of different people.
00:26:48.000 And look, I know that sounds like, oh, of course we would here.
00:26:52.000 Don't be too quick to say that.
00:26:54.000 We have a different outlook.
00:26:55.000 I understand.
00:26:56.000 Maybe we wouldn't let it get that far, but don't be so quick to say, of course I'd stand up and lose everything that I've worked for and my kids would be ostracized from society so that I could preserve this.
00:27:07.000 Not everybody's willing to do that.
00:27:08.000 Most people, in fact, are not willing to do that.
00:27:11.000 Because in the moment, it's not as clear-cut as history.
00:27:16.000 It's not as clear-cut as saying, of course I would have stood up on the right side of this when that happened.
00:27:21.000 Not when everything you've ever worked for your entire life is on the line, and you're not as sure because they're saying, Well, wait a minute, this isn't government overreaching.
00:27:28.000 Maybe it's not as bad as we think, and maybe this is just here's what they're trying to do with it.
00:27:31.000 People make up a lot of reasons in their mind why everything's okay, and I think that's why it's important for people in Britain to get out and let people know how bad it is and how bad they want to make it.
00:27:42.000 I hope that Farage wins.
00:27:44.000 He's the candidate that I've seen the most promise in.
00:27:47.000 Um I hope I hope he ends up being the prime minister and starts making dramatic changes in that country.
00:27:53.000 Otherwise, I think the answer is absolutely yes.
00:27:55.000 I I kind of feel like this is your last shot.
00:27:57.000 It's your last at bat to see if you can save it.
00:28:00.000 Don't waste it.
00:28:02.000 All right.
00:28:03.000 Thoughts, thoughts, chat?
00:28:04.000 I agree.
00:28:04.000 I absolutely agree.
00:28:05.000 Nothing to add.
00:28:05.000 Couldn't care.
00:28:06.000 Next chat.
00:28:08.000 Next chat from E. Ortega.
00:28:10.000 Are there legal consequences for citizens acting nonviolently against domestic terror organizations?
00:28:17.000 I I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
00:28:20.000 If what do you mean, acting nonviolently against terrorist organizations in the United States?
00:28:24.000 Are you saying, can I as a citizen go and mess with Antifa?
00:28:29.000 Legally?
00:28:30.000 Nonviolently, I mean?
00:28:32.000 I don't know.
00:28:33.000 What do you what do you guys think?
00:28:34.000 Well, you mean like egg in their house?
00:28:35.000 What do you what is like toilet paper and like forks in the front yard?
00:28:38.000 You remember that?
00:28:39.000 Yeah.
00:28:40.000 Forks part.
00:28:40.000 But I don't know the forks thing, but I'm not sure what I'm saying.
00:28:45.000 Yeah, I don't know what that means.
00:28:48.000 You let them kick your ass, are you gonna kick it?
00:28:50.000 I don't think nonviolent, though.
00:28:52.000 What is that he says yes, Geralds?
00:28:54.000 So I don't know, I guess what you had the right idea.
00:28:57.000 Yes, I threw out like five different things, and you said yes.
00:29:00.000 Thanks.
00:29:03.000 Is that even possible?
00:29:04.000 No.
00:29:06.000 Uh you might have to take it, but I wow on your behalf screwed up.
00:29:12.000 That reminds me is the we really screwed that one up, so chat that's chat being admonished.
00:29:16.000 That reminds me, did we ever find out about that uh superintendent if he was a Guyana and Olympian?
00:29:22.000 Did yeah, did any information come in on the Olympian superintendent?
00:29:25.000 No.
00:29:25.000 I think most of our research team is otherwise occupied at this particular moment.
00:29:28.000 That's fine.
00:29:29.000 That's fine.
00:29:30.000 I don't want to change anything.
00:29:31.000 Hey, gov Governor Whitmer's on pull it up real quick.
00:29:34.000 This is abortion.
00:29:35.000 These are places that we go to feel connected, to feel safe.
00:29:40.000 Be together.
00:29:41.000 But today, this place has been shattered by bullets and broken class.
00:29:46.000 And this might be a familiar pain, but it hurts all the same.
00:29:52.000 Every time we cannot keep living our lives like this.
00:29:57.000 I know that this community is reeling right now.
00:30:00.000 And I want you to know that the state of Michigan has your back.
00:30:04.000 Here it goes.
00:30:07.000 I ordered flags lowered statewide, and I spoke with President Trump yesterday who wanted to share his condolences.
00:30:15.000 We will be here every step of the way and coordinate a full response with our local and federal partners.
00:30:23.000 Folks here at the township at every level, you know, working closely together.
00:30:29.000 There's one thing I know about Michiganders, it's that we get through hard things together.
00:30:34.000 And that's who we are.
00:30:36.000 That's how the good people here at the Grand Blank Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints live their lives.
00:30:43.000 They worship together, they sing together, and they serve together.
00:30:49.000 And that's why I was so proud to see powerful statements from interfaith leaders across Michigan denouncing this attack on a house of worship.
00:30:57.000 They grieved for this congregation as though it was their own.
00:31:01.000 They spoke with one voice for the basic principle that we all believe in, that you should be able to pray in peace in our state no matter who you are.
00:31:11.000 I know that in the hours and days ahead, we will see the best of Michigan.
00:31:15.000 We will see neighbors being neighborly, checking in with a call, bringing over some food, or offering a hobby.
00:31:22.000 That's not in doubt.
00:31:23.000 We need to see the best from the leadership in Michigan.
00:31:26.000 ...treat those in need with scars both seen and unseen.
00:31:31.000 We will see this congregation unite and rally together like never before and continue worshiping together, singing together, and serving together.
00:31:41.000 Because that's m who Michiganders are.
00:31:44.000 We will stay in close contact and continue to work together.
00:31:48.000 Now, like everyone I know, we have lots of questions.
00:31:51.000 How could this happen?
00:31:53.000 What created this moment?
00:31:56.000 Why?
00:31:57.000 And that's motivated by a genuine motivation to understand, to learn, to prevent in the future.
00:32:05.000 But I want to caution everyone.
00:32:08.000 While we are working hard, while the good men and women who are working hard are doing so with due diligence at this juncture.
00:32:15.000 Speculation is unhelpful, and it can be downright dangerous.
00:32:21.000 So just ask that people lower the temperature of rhetoric.
00:32:25.000 I haven't seen a ton of rhetoric on this one.
00:32:27.000 We talked about some of the leftist talking points, but that's key.
00:32:31.000 It hasn't been super widespread.
00:32:35.000 Thank you.
00:32:36.000 And now I'd like to introduce the head of the Michigan State Police, Colonel James Grady.
00:32:43.000 I don't know if we're going to really find out anything yet.
00:32:46.000 I don't think so.
00:32:48.000 This community has been greatly impacted by yesterday's events.
00:32:53.000 We are offering our deepest condolences to those affected by this tragedy.
00:32:59.000 This horrific event is something that this community has never experienced.
00:33:05.000 It is important at this time that we come together to support one another in this time of grief.
00:33:13.000 We stand ready and willing to assist both our local and federal partners with any additional needs as this investigation.
00:33:23.000 If we get any additional information, we'll bring that to you guys.
00:33:25.000 I wanted to kind of just check in really quickly there.
00:33:27.000 And I just, you know, I don't want to be cynical.
00:33:30.000 I don't know if that's the right word, but But when Governor Whitmer said that, I'm like, of course, the people are going to do the right thing.
00:33:38.000 We see that time and time again in this country, where people in communities rally around each other, they put aside differences, they come together, and they help each other out in hard times.
00:33:48.000 That that happens all across this country every single time there is any kind of an event like this or a natural disaster that happens or just a tough time in any community.
00:33:58.000 What we need is better from our leaders.
00:34:01.000 And I don't mean just elected officials, I mean kind of thought leaders as well.
00:34:05.000 People that their job is to go out and discuss these kinds of things and express some of the concerns from other people.
00:34:12.000 We need better from them.
00:34:14.000 It's not the American citizens that live next to these people that I'm worried about.
00:34:17.000 It's the leadership that is going to use this for some kind of a political game to try to say tighter gun laws or Republicans are a threat to America or anything like that.
00:34:30.000 Like I want to be able to call balls and strikes and say calling one side Nazis and fascists and saying there's never going to be an election again and that we should make sure you know where ICE is at every given moment and they are the bad guys and how dare they wear masks.
00:34:42.000 That does lead down a path.
00:34:44.000 I get it.
00:34:44.000 We can say that.
00:34:46.000 Right.
00:34:47.000 But we have to understand that when these kinds of things happen, we need our leaders not to try to use this as cover to run their favorite play, which is guns bad, Republicans bad.
00:34:59.000 Again, when there's no evidence, especially right now, that that's actually the case.
00:35:03.000 And I don't know that we'll get it.
00:35:05.000 I hope we do.
00:35:06.000 We we rarely do, though.
00:35:08.000 That's why we're always ready for that.
00:35:10.000 Okay, I I wanna I want to just mourn with you guys and say how tragic that is, but I know I'm about to be sucker punched in the face with some idea that wouldn't have had any impact on this situation at all, but has been the playbook for you guys for decades.
00:35:23.000 It's coming.
00:35:24.000 Makes it hard.
00:35:26.000 It's coming.
00:35:26.000 She whether she announces it later today or later this week, I guarantee you she's gonna propose some legislation.
00:35:33.000 Yeah.
00:35:34.000 Yeah, I I just we're gonna beat you guys with ideas.
00:35:39.000 We're gonna beat you at the ballot box.
00:35:41.000 We're gonna beat you by having this government apparatus that we see today dismantled to a point where it goes back to what it should be.
00:35:50.000 That's how we win.
00:35:53.000 You guys just call us Nazis and fascists and literally have the front runner for the Democratic nomination or the Democrat nomination for president in 2028, say that there's not going to be a 2028 election.
00:36:08.000 It's interesting you're putting all this time and running for something that you don't think is gonna happen.
00:36:12.000 We'll get to the bottom of that, I guess, another time.
00:36:14.000 Anyway, next chat.
00:36:15.000 All right, next chat from Jenny Jr. 91.
00:36:18.000 I was raised a Christian but haven't followed the faith and in adulthood.
00:36:22.000 Was wondering what thoughts are on the targeting of Christians and churches recently.
00:36:26.000 Would you say end times?
00:36:27.000 No, I mean end times is kind of a favorite topic for a lot of people and they've said it over and over and over though I do know that the rapture was supposed to happen last week according to somebody.
00:36:38.000 Can't remember who it was.
00:36:39.000 No, literally it was predicted on here's the fun part about rapture prediction is that it's typically like it's one of those predictions that's made with some wiggle room so that they can go, oh well I meant that this was actually it was supposed to be like a spiritual awakening rapture kind of thing.
00:36:56.000 Or it was supposed to be on this day or this day.
00:36:59.000 They're just bad at math.
00:37:00.000 They're well they're they're bad at the maths you're right.
00:37:03.000 Isn't the rapture happen happen after the Antichrist arrives?
00:37:07.000 No, so there theoretically you can have rapture pretty much at any point and I know that people be like I can't believe Gerald's talking about something that doesn't exist in the scriptures hold your arguments.
00:37:18.000 I'm describing a belief system, not necessarily ascribing to every point along the way.
00:37:24.000 Rapture, at some point, there is some interval potentially or immediately, but it is not required to be immediately.
00:37:31.000 Then kind of the kickoff of the seven-year tribulation period by a peace treaty that's signed between Israel and surrounding people and the rise of the Antichrist first in a positive way, being viewed as this promised kind of world leader that's going to bring everybody together for the first three and a half years.
00:37:47.000 a half years everything is pretty good relatively speaking and uh the world is peaceful in a way that it hasn't known at the midpoint that's when things basically flip and it is absolutely terrible the persecution goes way way up but again it's it's that same kind of common theme.
00:38:03.000 You get people to buy into this idea this person I brought peace and now we have people we have to get rid of otherwise we will never have peace that kind of thing it's the othering that happens again.
00:38:11.000 And then the last three and a half years is really the Great Tribulation that you hear a lot about.
00:38:16.000 So that's the rough kind of eschatology of the rapture.
00:38:22.000 So when you predict the rapture you're not necessarily predicting the second coming of Christ you're just predicting when the rapture is going to happen.
00:38:27.000 Those two can be a little separated.
00:38:29.000 Christ returns at the end of the seven years by the way so anyway I know there's a lot of people that argue that I'm going to have Jay Dyer on I think and he's a he's really he's one of the smartest Orthodox guys out there.
00:38:41.000 Gets a lot of lot of great knowledge in his head.
00:38:44.000 I like the very best arguments to be able to kind of talk through so he he has probably a different view.
00:38:49.000 They I think they believe that uh everything was pretty much wrapped up in 70 AD.
00:38:54.000 So I've got questions.
00:38:56.000 Not a debate questions.
00:38:58.000 Good questions.
00:38:59.000 All right.
00:39:00.000 Next chat all right next chat from And if you guys want to jump in, geez feel free.
00:39:05.000 I think these guys are probably tired of hearing me's rhyme.
00:39:10.000 Oh I didn't even I didn't mean to do that.
00:39:13.000 Thanks, Josh.
00:39:15.000 All right next chat from Minodnock.
00:39:17.000 Question for Gerald Why is it called Sodom and Gomorrah?
00:39:22.000 Was it one of those cities that's called something different across a river like St. Paul and Minneapolis or Detroit and Windsor?
00:39:28.000 Why was it called Sodom and Gomorrah?
00:39:30.000 Yes.
00:39:30.000 They were two cities called two cities.
00:39:32.000 Yeah one was called Sodom one was called Gomorrah.
00:39:34.000 Yeah.
00:39:36.000 Maybe that maybe I don't understand the question.
00:39:38.000 Well they were both destroyed.
00:39:40.000 I mean maybe that's why they're lumped together now.
00:39:42.000 They're twin cities in destruction.
00:39:45.000 So you know when cities have fire and ash rained down on them from God on high, you tend to lump those together.
00:39:55.000 There's not too many cities in the history of this world that have had that pleasure or not had the pleasure of having that happen.
00:40:01.000 So when that happens they kind of lump them in together.
00:40:03.000 I'm not exactly sure where you're going with that question but you could also do that with uh you know traditionally more conservative cities like Dallas Fort Worth.
00:40:12.000 Yeah yeah yeah or like uh I'm not I'm not sure why they were curious about maybe maybe let us know why you were curious about that.
00:40:18.000 Was it just a naming convention like they're always mentioned together instead of individually I think they were trying to compare Sodom and Gomorrah to St. Paul in Minneapolis and Windsor City in Detroit?
00:40:29.000 I think they were just saying that these two cities are close together.
00:40:31.000 I don't know.
00:40:32.000 I'm confused.
00:40:32.000 I don't know either Next chat until clarification comes.
00:40:35.000 Sorry.
00:40:36.000 We'll keep an eye out for it.
00:40:37.000 Uh let's see.
00:40:39.000 Next chat from uh wolves not sheep 91.
00:40:43.000 As a F and mother, I'm not sure.
00:40:46.000 Female and female and mother.
00:40:48.000 I don't know.
00:40:49.000 As a father and mother of three.
00:40:51.000 No, no.
00:40:52.000 So that's what I thought too.
00:40:53.000 Okay.
00:40:54.000 As an F and mother of three under 13, it's hard to go out, not and hard to not fear going out alone with them when dad works.
00:41:02.000 That there goes away.
00:41:03.000 Yeah.
00:41:04.000 I try to conceal carry, but it prints Glock 43.
00:41:07.000 Any suggestions?
00:41:07.000 God bless everyone.
00:41:09.000 I mean, is it illegal to print in your state in certain spots?
00:41:14.000 I mean, if you're going into stores where you can't carry, I'd be worried about printing, maybe put it in your purse, get a different holster.
00:41:21.000 Uh there's plenty of guns smaller than a Glock 43 that you could get.
00:41:24.000 Yeah.
00:41:25.000 Thinner, more rounds, more capacity.
00:41:27.000 The one Steven talked about that's gonna sell out that I can't get uh I don't remember what I'm gonna do.
00:41:32.000 Cell Tech uh P32 is a smaller gun.
00:41:35.000 I mean, whatever you tiny you you shoot and you're you're proficient at shooting, just get that.
00:41:40.000 If if you like the 43, then consider putting it in your purse.
00:41:43.000 I was about to say, so um my wife recently looked at some different options uh for this.
00:41:47.000 Just to, you know, the different kind of purses that you can get that actually have places specifically built for guns.
00:41:53.000 Like they're they're actually pretty pretty awesome.
00:41:55.000 Pretty incredible.
00:41:56.000 Try different holsters, I mean some holsters, uh and also don't be afraid to print.
00:42:00.000 Like I I think it's fine to let people know, like, don't screw with me.
00:42:03.000 That's kind of like that's not even the worst thing.
00:42:05.000 Overanalyze it too.
00:42:06.000 Like sometimes I think I'm printing and I think maybe she's concerned about it.
00:42:10.000 People are surprised they have a gun.
00:42:12.000 She might be concerned about going places that are considered a gun free zone.
00:42:14.000 Yeah, I could see like maybe you know, a mall or a grocery stores with kids or going to church with the kids or picking her kids up from school, maybe, or or like school functions, little league games, stuff like that that might be considered gunfree zone.
00:42:25.000 She's worried about people seeing it and then getting in trouble for that.
00:42:27.000 If if that's the case, then you know, of course, follow the laws and uh, you know, whatever else we've said to do.
00:42:32.000 Follow laws and have a nice big purse.
00:42:34.000 Yeah.
00:42:35.000 Not giving you any advice to break any laws at all.
00:42:37.000 We would never do that.
00:42:38.000 Next chat.
00:42:39.000 All right.
00:42:39.000 Next chat from Bunker Studios and TV.
00:42:42.000 I have a question for the crew.
00:42:43.000 The left keeps referring to the Paul Pelosi attack as right wing.
00:42:46.000 They failed to mention it was also committed by an illegal Canadian migrant.
00:42:50.000 No Republicans ever push back.
00:42:52.000 Why not?
00:42:52.000 I think on that one, the whole story just seems so unreal.
00:42:58.000 Bizarre.
00:42:58.000 Like we didn't I don't think anybody thought Paul Pelosi and thought, oh, this is an attack on liberals.
00:43:04.000 We were just like, this is like two gay lovers fighting.
00:43:07.000 I don't know what's going on here.
00:43:08.000 That was the initial thought we had.
00:43:09.000 We're like, What in the world?
00:43:10.000 Is there like a guy in his underwear?
00:43:12.000 The story came out and they claimed that she that he was looking for Nancy.
00:43:16.000 Um just seemed like a crazy person.
00:43:20.000 It did.
00:43:20.000 Who Paul or the guy?
00:43:22.000 Well, both.
00:43:22.000 Yeah.
00:43:23.000 I don't understand how listen, the I think that was and listen if if you want to go, hey, you know, that that's you know, that's a problem.
00:43:30.000 Fine, fine.
00:43:31.000 Hang that one on us.
00:43:33.000 We thought it was funny that Paul Pelosi before we knew about the extent of the injuries, because I didn't realize he got like hit that hard.
00:43:38.000 I I initially when I heard it, I was like, there was a the cops showed up and there was a guy in his underwear with a hammer and Paul Pelosi there.
00:43:45.000 We ended up seeing it later.
00:43:46.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:43:47.000 Later on when they released the footage, I'm like, that's not funny.
00:43:51.000 The cops were there and didn't know what was going on, and we were all like, what the heck is this situation even happening right now?
00:43:56.000 We're all lubed up.
00:43:57.000 Yeah, just it was weird.
00:43:59.000 Nice and shiny.
00:44:01.000 It was all kinds of weird.
00:44:03.000 So listen, our bad, but guys how did how did he survive?
00:44:08.000 We still don't even know what happened, really.
00:44:10.000 We don't know.
00:44:11.000 It's so weird.
00:44:12.000 Illegal immigrant, you're right.
00:44:13.000 Couldn't vote.
00:44:14.000 And so I'm not sure that's a right wing extremist, but whatever.
00:44:16.000 They don't they're not counting stuff even when it is clear.
00:44:19.000 We've told you this.
00:44:20.000 Like those stats, listen, I'm not looking to debunk stats for the the fun of it.
00:44:25.000 What I'm looking to do is find out where they got their information from because when you go into these cross tabs from these studies, it very quickly becomes apparent if there is a bias.
00:44:33.000 And in this case, we found an obvious bias.
00:44:36.000 Stuff that was included that shouldn't have been stuff that wasn't included, that very obviously should have been.
00:44:40.000 Very, very clearly, including the founder of the feast, not even including himself in there.
00:44:45.000 Which you think would be a like a badge of honor for him.
00:44:49.000 And no media outlet fact check the support for it.
00:44:55.000 Which is usually what you you're supposed to do, right?
00:44:57.000 Yes.
00:44:57.000 I mean, lawyers have to do that.
00:44:59.000 It's really really dumb and they're like, well, the data speaks for itself.
00:45:02.000 Not if you exclude stuff that should be there and include stuff that shouldn't.
00:45:06.000 That's different.
00:45:07.000 Wait, the data that is aggregated by somebody with a conflict of interest.
00:45:12.000 Right.
00:45:12.000 Exactly.
00:45:13.000 I'm not saying you can't trust anything.
00:45:14.000 I'm just saying you need to know what you are trusting and why it may have certain pitfalls and what m if that's disqualifying.
00:45:22.000 Sometimes it's not.
00:45:22.000 Sometimes you're like, all right, this person is biased, but they are pulling from studies and they do aggregate the data correctly.
00:45:30.000 And you can go, okay, their bias has not affected this because the data is very clear and we can go and look at that.
00:45:35.000 In this case, that's not that's not what's happening.
00:45:37.000 All right.
00:45:38.000 Uh let's take a couple more chats and then we'll be dubbed for the day.
00:45:40.000 All right.
00:45:41.000 Next chat from Shane Stencis.
00:45:43.000 I've been watching the show for almost 10 years, so thank you.
00:45:47.000 Uh, what would be the first one to three things someone should do before having a change my mind conversation?
00:45:52.000 One to three.
00:45:54.000 Keep the great work.
00:45:55.000 Thank you for your service, Josh.
00:45:57.000 So before having like A, I would not recommend setting up your own change my mind just like out of the blue.
00:46:03.000 I don't think that's a a great idea.
00:46:06.000 I think it's great to engage in conversations with people.
00:46:09.000 Um but you have to understand the the potential security concerns that you're dealing with and take precautions.
00:46:14.000 Yeah, so that's why I say that.
00:46:15.000 I I like the idea.
00:46:16.000 Listen, you should be able to go have every change my mind conversation you ever want to have in your life on any college campus, any city in America, without the fear of violence for having a conversation, right?
00:46:26.000 Everybody here good with that?
00:46:27.000 Yeah.
00:46:27.000 You can't.
00:46:28.000 I'm sorry.
00:46:29.000 You have to be aware of of the threat of people who disagree with you, and when they lose on the battlefield of ideas, they tend to get violent.
00:46:37.000 And that the violence can express itself in a lot of different ways.
00:46:40.000 That can be actually physically, you know, expressed towards you, or they could just get unruly and maybe shove you and not actually try to like shoot you or stab you or like punch you in the face.
00:46:49.000 That's still physical violence.
00:46:50.000 Is the be safe.
00:46:51.000 I'm sorry.
00:46:51.000 Number one is the be safe.
00:46:53.000 Number one and number two and number three are be safe.
00:46:56.000 I I would I would say one.
00:46:57.000 I'm gonna go four through five.
00:46:58.000 Oh, okay, four through five.
00:46:59.000 Go ahead.
00:47:00.000 So the next thing is know what you're talking about inside and out and not tell them every single point of it.
00:47:08.000 Because unfortunately, conversations about this stuff really revolve around a point that can illuminate everything in your argument.
00:47:18.000 And that's one of the things that I think Steven does very, very well with Change My Mind.
00:47:22.000 Find a couple of pieces of information that make you go, oh.
00:47:26.000 For example, these studies are bogus.
00:47:29.000 You remember the guy in Portland who got shot?
00:47:32.000 We have a Trump supporter here, bang bang, not included in the study.
00:47:37.000 That is the kind of point that when people hear it, they go, Yeah, I remember that.
00:47:40.000 I can't believe they didn't include that in the study.
00:47:42.000 What else did they not include in the study?
00:47:44.000 It makes your point for you, clearly.
00:47:47.000 Instead of going, well, I don't like how they did this or how they did that, and ten minutes later, you're never gonna get those thoughts out completely.
00:47:53.000 You're never gonna be as convincing as if you boil it down to one or two super convincing points that really illuminate what you're trying to say.
00:48:03.000 And then you can back it up from there.
00:48:04.000 You can back it up with additional information if they're bought into listening at that point.
00:48:08.000 But that's one of the things that I think a lot of people miss.
00:48:11.000 Also, you can't like you need to find this is the last one, find the strongest argument against your position.
00:48:18.000 The absolute strongest.
00:48:21.000 Not a straw man, not some kind of like thing you've heard somebody say.
00:48:26.000 Go out and listen to the very best person on the other side, make the argument against your position so that you can understand where they're coming from, and then also be able to deal with that objection.
00:48:36.000 And I think people don't do that at all.
00:48:38.000 I think you typically listen to, you know, like people tell you what you want to hear, and then all of a sudden you're faced with somebody who's not going to give you that ground on that point, and you have to go to a well that doesn't exist.
00:48:49.000 You don't have you don't know how to deal with it.
00:48:51.000 So that's why I listen to people that I don't like like desktop.
00:48:54.000 That's why we have to when they debate.
00:48:57.000 Because I and and listen, CNN is not where I get that.
00:49:00.000 I don't get it from them.
00:49:01.000 I listen to people that absolutely like Medi Hassan, I listen to Medihassan debate.
00:49:06.000 Chank Weager, I listen to him debate.
00:49:08.000 Destiny, I listen to him debate.
00:49:10.000 All these other guys, I listen to them debate so that I can hear the best arguments for their positions, not a straw man and not an easy one to beat, so that if I ever get confronted with it, I'm ready.
00:49:20.000 I think that's what we should do, and I don't I don't think we do a very good job of that in general.
00:49:24.000 But I think we do a much better job of being informed on decisions that we're making, and that's a good start.
00:49:30.000 Just understand what the best arguments are against your position if you plan on going out and having those kinds of conversations.
00:49:36.000 All right.
00:49:37.000 Final chat.
00:49:38.000 Also per the uh executive producer, don't call it change my mind.
00:49:42.000 That's true.
00:49:43.000 Come up with your own name.
00:49:45.000 Yes.
00:49:46.000 Changed.
00:49:47.000 Their mind.
00:49:48.000 I don't know.
00:49:48.000 Maybe that's assuming that they're a trans person and that's not true.
00:49:51.000 I don't know.
00:49:51.000 You know, figure it out.
00:49:52.000 I'll I'll I leave the creative decision.
00:49:54.000 Transition their mind.
00:49:56.000 I hate it.
00:49:57.000 Transform their mind?
00:49:59.000 I don't know.
00:50:00.000 I don't know.
00:50:01.000 We'll we'll leave it to you.
00:50:02.000 Final chat.
00:50:03.000 All right, final chat from Squig.
00:50:06.000 Question for crew.
00:50:07.000 I've argued with Grok, but you cannot change the mind of an AI.
00:50:11.000 With AI being our future, do you see this as a serious problem?
00:50:15.000 Josh, do you guys use AI very much?
00:50:17.000 In the comedy.
00:50:19.000 Not for comedy, but do you use AI to find out information or uh no, not typically.
00:50:24.000 I mean, because AI is just gonna pull, you know, it's a it's a congregate of of information that's put out by people.
00:50:30.000 If you're gonna ask a question, um I don't use it for a comic.
00:50:33.000 I mean, I use it for like telling a joke AI.
00:50:36.000 Creating a music uh parody or if we're doing a commercial for somebody and I'm like, I want something to sound like this, I'll put the lyrics in and I go, you make the music because I'm not talented.
00:50:46.000 And you make the voice because uh no one should hear me sing.
00:50:50.000 I I use it for that kind of stuff.
00:50:51.000 Yeah.
00:50:52.000 Um, but I'm not using it for like fully relying on it.
00:50:55.000 It's a good tool to use for lots of things.
00:50:57.000 Yeah.
00:50:58.000 But I do think that there is some danger in it, and that there's serious consequences that are coming in the future.
00:51:03.000 Yeah, I I I tend to agree.
00:51:05.000 I I use AI um maybe differently than most people, but I use it as a starting point for questions of opinion.
00:51:13.000 Now, questions of fact, like for example, how do I how do I change this setting on my truck to make sure that the horn doesn't honk when I get out with my key?
00:51:22.000 Stuff like that's very useful for because it just goes through that.
00:51:25.000 I also love it first.
00:51:26.000 Excel questions, like I'm actually trying to make a chart and get a figure and it walks you through the steps, and you can just basically talk to it.
00:51:32.000 I I've used it for tech support.
00:51:33.000 I'm having this problem with my phone.
00:51:34.000 How do I fix this?
00:51:35.000 I'm not even kidding.
00:51:36.000 Goodbye and phenomenal I know goodbye India, yes.
00:51:39.000 I love it for reviews for that.
00:51:40.000 If you go um, I don't know if it's Google or or Amazon, I think both do it.
00:51:46.000 Um but yeah, you can get reviews.
00:51:47.000 It'll take like if there's like four thousand reviews of a product.
00:51:50.000 You can go at the top, it'll say the AI review, and it'll tell you it'll explain in you know, layman's terms what everyone's saying.
00:51:58.000 While people like the size and the you know, versatility of the flesh they do say that there are some issues with cleaning it or whatever.
00:52:08.000 I I used it for uh and maybe Tim tell me what you use it for in a second.
00:52:13.000 But I I used it, I was in Chicago and I could not find the Lumal Notis that I had been to several years before, and I was like, man, I keep wanting to find this place because it was so good.
00:52:21.000 It's the pizza place, there's tons of them, but I could not find the one.
00:52:24.000 And I was actually able to like, hey, which is the most popular?
00:52:27.000 And it did uh the result, and it's like this is the original, but this one's more, you know, uh right up there, and it's in a nice neighborhood, and that's what a lot of people like the the area that it's in and the build out, and I was like, that's the one that I went to.
00:52:39.000 Um and so there's a lot of helpful things like that.
00:52:41.000 But if I ask it a question on something relevant to the show, for example, on the Oregon thing, I was like, was Oregon set up as a whites only state?
00:52:48.000 And they sent in a correction like Steven's more right than wrong, but it it I think it was actually telling me the exact same that I was saying is that it wasn't explicitly established as a whites only state, like in writing.
00:52:58.000 It was just like black people laws against blacks owning businesses, doing commerce, and doing a lot of stuff were prohibitive of black people living there.
00:53:06.000 But they didn't say Oregon is founded as a whites only state.
00:53:09.000 So that may be a limitation where AI is telling me no, technically it's not, even though every rule that they wrote and what they had in place before joining the union, basically, yeah, they were set up as a whites only state.
00:53:21.000 So that's a good example of where it can be kind of right, but give you a little bit of the wrong impression uh from the outset.
00:53:28.000 So but Tim, do you do you use AI much?
00:53:30.000 I use it a lot.
00:53:31.000 I use it for image generation for helping with some content generation if I needed to summarize things into a description.
00:53:39.000 Yeah.
00:53:40.000 Uh yeah.
00:53:41.000 I'm not gonna talk much about what I've done.
00:53:43.000 What's it called?
00:53:43.000 I want to hear it.
00:53:43.000 I want to sound you say it.
00:53:45.000 Oh, the uh the Bible on Brain Rot thing.
00:53:47.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:53:48.000 It's a really cool project that Tim has done.
00:53:50.000 It's just the Bible being.
00:53:51.000 I didn't want to plug it for the colour.
00:53:52.000 No, no, no, no.
00:53:52.000 I'm I'm I'm I'm totally fine with that.
00:53:54.000 I think anything with scripture and things like that.
00:53:56.000 So the Bible on Brain Rot, I think it's on X and on YouTube or whatever.
00:54:00.000 Okay, but Rumble, yeah, it's here on Rumble.
00:54:02.000 So yeah, Rumble as well.
00:54:03.000 Okay, good.
00:54:04.000 So go to Rumble.
00:54:04.000 Don't go to YouTube.
00:54:07.000 Yeah.
00:54:07.000 Like the thumbnails, the descriptions uh of everything.
00:54:10.000 Like it helps me write all of that and it just saves me tons and tons and tons of hours of work.
00:54:15.000 So I like it for that.
00:54:16.000 So here's the thing.
00:54:17.000 When AI takes over the world, and eventually it will take over the world, it is going to love my son.
00:54:24.000 Because for some reason, I have no idea why we started doing this.
00:54:28.000 But my son, before he goes to bed as part of his routine.
00:54:32.000 Says, Dad, can we do Siri?
00:54:33.000 I'm like, yeah, sure.
00:54:35.000 And he goes, Siri, I love you.
00:54:37.000 Every single night.
00:54:39.000 And Siri responds ultimately with one of three phrases.
00:54:42.000 You are the wind beneath my wings.
00:54:44.000 That's sweet.
00:54:45.000 Or something else, and I can't remember it off the top of my head because it's pretty rare.
00:54:49.000 But it's usually those two things.
00:54:51.000 So when AI takes over, all he's gotta do is say, Siri, I love you.
00:54:55.000 And we're totally fine.
00:54:56.000 You guys on the other hand are absolutely screwed.
00:54:59.000 Do not bow the knee to AI.
00:55:02.000 We love you.
00:55:02.000 We will see you tomorrow.
00:55:04.000 Hey YouTube, what you're about to watch is a new segment we call Change My Mind.
00:55:08.000 The whole point of having the government is to trust the government to protect you.
00:55:13.000 No.
00:55:13.000 Do you would you like to have a discussion or would you like to interrupt and be contentious?
00:55:17.000 I'm trying to listen to you.
00:55:18.000 That is an act of violence to intentionally misgender someone.
00:55:22.000 This is something that matters to me, and perhaps not to you, and then that's okay.
00:55:25.000 We can disagree.
00:55:26.000 And I hope you get the hell!
00:55:29.000 People want that to be illegal.
00:55:31.000 It's just someone's opinion.
00:55:32.000 Look at Veterans Day or Memorial Day.
00:55:34.000 Well, there are horrible actions that were committed.
00:55:35.000 Yeah, I feel the same way about those holidays.
00:55:36.000 Oh, you do?
00:55:37.000 I do.
00:55:38.000 Why do you believe in a political police?
00:55:40.000 How would that help black America?
00:55:46.000 I think I somewhat changed your mind by accident.
00:55:49.000 Yeah, by accident.
00:55:50.000 Yeah, okay, thanks.
00:55:51.000 *crowd laughs*
00:55:54.000 Feel free to you know make your case and change my mind.
00:55:56.000 Even though we disagree, you can sit down, express your point of view, and some people on the left view that in and of itself as adding fuel to the fire.
