00:00:00.000 Well, folks, just when we think things can't get even dumber, they somehow do.
00:00:04.000 Retardos of the day include Andrew Tate writing haikus from the internet from his prison cell.
00:00:09.000 Clavicular gesture maxing while makeup maxing in a Gigacope.
00:00:13.000 And a Billboard Hot 100 hit is stirring up controversy for possibly being AI.
00:00:18.000 If it is AI, then we need to destroy AI right now.
00:00:22.000 We must talk about the tweets that are being sent from Birmingham jail, apparently, by Andrew Tate.
00:00:29.000 So, Andrew Tate.
00:00:30.000 Apparently, he has access to tweet things.
00:00:34.000 And the profundities that are emerging from the mouth of this admitted pornographer and pimp, an alleged sex trafficker and child pornographer, some of the greatest wisdom.
00:00:44.000 I'm so glad he had so many allies on the right, Andrew Tate.
00:00:47.000 What a genius he is.
00:00:48.000 I mean, without these pearls of wisdom, how would you even function in a society?
00:00:53.000 So, Andrew Tate put out a tweet early this morning, a tragic tweet.
00:01:00.000 Quote, If you are sad on a yacht, you are sad.
00:01:05.000 If you are happy in jail, you are happy.
00:01:08.000 Absolutely nothing matters outside of your state of mind.
00:01:13.000 Few.
00:01:15.000 I
00:01:15.000 Period.
00:01:17.000 don't know what the few means.
00:01:19.000 I got to admit, don't know what that means.
00:01:22.000 But thank you for the jazzy synopsis of Viktor Frankl.
00:01:30.000 And then, um, He also put out one tweet, a profound tweet yesterday.
00:01:33.000 Cells are small rooms hypercharged with negative energy.
00:01:36.000 Full grown men crying tears after murdering their wives.
00:01:39.000 Suicides in the middle of the night.
00:01:41.000 It takes constant chi to repel the spiritual attacks.
00:01:45.000 These are like some really bad haikus.
00:01:48.000 So I'm getting the syllables right.
00:01:51.000 They're hypercharged with negative energy.
00:01:54.000 It takes constant chi to repel the spiritual attacks.
00:01:57.000 The Dalai Lama over here.
00:01:58.000 You know, the Dalai Lama who is allegedly sex trafficking the ladies.
00:02:03.000 I think we have to keep an eye on the amount, just the pure amount of unbridled genius coming out of this jail cell.
00:02:11.000 And how this man can do this kind of incredible work while he's being surrounded by murderers and screaming cannibals.
00:02:16.000 Again, he said that the person next door is a cannibal who screams all night.
00:02:19.000 Again, the screaming cannibal is an amazing name for a garage man.
00:02:24.000 We'll keep an eye because the greatest wisdom often comes from dark places, from people alleged to have trafficked in women.
00:02:30.000 Okay.
00:02:32.000 Also, apparently, I have to say on the cultural front, I've been informed by producer Justin, and I would not know this, not in the slightest, obviously, because I mean, look at me.
00:02:39.000 But apparently, on the TikToks, there's a song that has gone viral.
00:02:44.000 It is called Rubbers by Phoenix Flexin and Perps on the Beat.
00:02:49.000 And the question is whether the song was created using AI.
00:02:53.000 If it was used, if it was created using AI, it would be the first AI song to make the Billboard Hot 100.
00:02:58.000 Okay.
00:02:59.000 We shall now evaluate.
00:03:10.000 Swiping cards and stacking chips.
00:03:12.000 I saw you sinking ships.
00:03:14.000 Left me standing in the pouring rain.
00:03:16.000 Now, about a heavy diamond chain.
00:03:19.000 My pockets getting thicker.
00:03:21.000 The watch is moving quicker.
00:03:22.000 My knee talk is much louder now.
00:03:25.000 But I can't sleep through the night.
00:03:29.000 Can't sleep through the night.
00:03:31.000 I can't sing.
00:03:34.000 Why do you call when you're short on cash?
00:03:36.000 Can't sleep through the night.
00:03:40.000 What is even happening right now?
00:03:47.000 Is there a chorus to this one?
00:03:48.000 This is the chorus?
00:03:59.000 A declining scale?
00:04:04.000 The chorus was just like a declining scale?
00:04:08.000 This is bad.
00:04:09.000 This is legit terrible.
00:04:11.000 If AI created this, it just shows that AI is mid.
00:04:15.000 If AI created this song, then you should sell all of your AI stock today.
00:04:20.000 This is worse than anything that humans have created.
00:04:26.000 Yeah, people keep talking about this Puerto Rico AI song that apparently was significantly better.
00:04:31.000 This is crap.
00:04:32.000 So, why are people into this on TikTok?
00:04:34.000 I need an explainer.
00:04:35.000 Why are people into this?
00:04:36.000 Are they into it ironically because it's really, really bad?
00:04:40.000 Or are they legitimately into this song?
00:04:43.000 I need someone to explain.
00:04:46.000 I mean, it really is quite terrible.
00:04:48.000 So, producer Justin, it's on you to explain to me why this is happening to all of us.
00:05:00.000 Okay, so people think it's good because people apparently have suffered from significant.
00:05:06.000 So, people like it because it's different from rap music.
00:05:08.000 Well, it turns out all other forms of music are different from rap music.
00:05:12.000 This is quite awful.
00:05:13.000 Wow.
00:05:14.000 This is just trash.
00:05:16.000 It doesn't even rise to the level of an earworm.
00:05:17.000 You're not going to wake up in the middle of the night going, Done,
00:05:22.000 Like there's nothing here.
00:05:23.000 There's absolutely nothing here.
00:05:24.000 I think that, man, if this is symptomatic of the frontal lobotomy we performed on ourselves as a culture, then yeah, I mean, that may be where we are.
00:05:32.000 It may be just as simple as that.
00:05:33.000 Maybe the entire United States at this point or the entire population of TikTok is suffering from a significant brain problem andor a serious inner ear issue.
00:05:45.000 That was awful.
00:05:45.000 So thanks to Justin for us listening to that.
00:05:49.000 My life is so much richer now.
00:05:50.000 And yours is too, because if I have to hear it, then so do you.
00:05:54.000 Human life must be protected even before it is born.
00:05:58.000 Unborn children deserve protection.
00:06:01.000 Any moment now, my wife is going to give birth.
00:06:03.000 And when that happens, the baby that emerges is going to be the same as it is right now in her tummy.
00:06:09.000 It is the same baby.
00:06:11.000 It is the same life.
00:06:11.000 It is the same human.
00:06:13.000 This is why the work of preborn matters so much.
00:06:15.000 When a mom sees her baby and hears that tiny heartbeat for the first time, her baby is twice as likely to be given the gift of life.
00:06:21.000 Because every child who is born has the potential to shape the future of the country.
00:06:24.000 We're talking future parents, teachers, entrepreneurs, members of the military, first responders.
00:06:28.000 But it's not just that.
00:06:29.000 Human life is sacred, and human life in the womb is just as sacred.
00:06:33.000 Will you help?
00:06:34.000 Just $28 provides one life saving ultrasound.
00:06:36.000 In honor of America's 250th birthday, we're asking friends to prayerfully consider a special gift of $250 to help save even more lives.
00:06:43.000 Dial pound 250, say keyword baby.
00:06:43.000 Donate.
00:06:45.000 That's pound 250, baby, or give securely at preborn.comslash Shapiro.
00:06:50.000 Every gift is tax deductible.
00:06:51.000 All righty.
00:06:52.000 Well, as long as we are talking about people who are very famous online for reasons that are not discernible to the general public, again, there is a young man named Clavicular whose main job seems to be.
00:07:03.000 Focusing incessantly like narcissists on his own reflection and also taking copious amounts of drugs andor drinking a lot and traveling the world doing these things.
00:07:13.000 I mean, nice work if you can get it, I suppose.
00:07:14.000 Anyway, he has decided that the best way to demonstrate his absolute full scale narcissism is to put a giant mural of himself inside his penthouse.
00:07:25.000 Like Anthony Fauci, actually, I've told you.
00:07:27.000 This is my rule.
00:07:27.000 If you have a giant picture of you, if you're a famous person and you have a giant picture of you in your house, like in your study or in your living room, This makes you a total douchebag.
00:07:40.000 Like, this is just a rule of thumb.
00:07:42.000 And it does not fail, this rule of thumb.
00:07:44.000 Not like a family picture or something like normal people, like a giant picture of you.
00:07:47.000 So, Clavicular put up a giant mural of himself inside his penthouse.
00:07:53.000 It does raise some problems.
00:07:55.000 Namely, what happens when he decides to get another nose job or when he decides to smash his chin again?
00:08:03.000 Does he have to repaint over it?
00:08:06.000 Also, why does he appear to be wearing a Hitler Youth uniform?
00:08:09.000 In this mural, he's wearing some weird uniform.
00:08:12.000 In this mural, I'm not sure what it's supposed to be.
00:08:18.000 Imagine you're the painter, by the way, and this douchebag calls you up and he's like, Hey, hey, I need a giant picture of me up on that wall.
00:08:28.000 I guess, you know, again, getting paid.
00:08:31.000 He also has a couple of tweets that have gone viral over the past.
00:08:34.000 We are all becoming stupider in real time.
00:08:37.000 And again, if we're all going to do it, we may as well do it together, folks.
00:08:39.000 This is a slow boat to hell, and we're all on it together.
00:08:43.000 Clavicular.
00:08:44.000 Put out a tweet.
00:08:45.000 Why are we even talking about this person?
00:08:46.000 Quote Political gesturing is beyond comical.
00:08:49.000 If you can't even get a girl to give an IOI and you think it's productive to engage with politics, then just LOL.
00:08:59.000 My entire Looks Max protocol is free.
00:09:01.000 Check replies below.
00:09:05.000 Gesturing is, I suppose, where you pretend that you're being funny about politics.
00:09:08.000 Is that what gesturing is?
00:09:09.000 I'm unfamiliar with the lingo of clinical idiots.
00:09:14.000 Political gesturing is beyond comical.
00:09:15.000 I mean, I would assume it is, since it is literally gesturing.
00:09:20.000 But he says, if you can't even get a girl to give an IOI.
00:09:23.000 Okay, so basically, his standard is that a girl has to look at you and now you can engage with politics.
00:09:29.000 I mean,
00:09:32.000 what is the correlation here?
00:09:33.000 Seriously, what is the correlation?
00:09:36.000 There is a better case, honestly, for people having a stake in the, like you pay taxes, you own property, you have kids.
00:09:43.000 Like these are all things that give you a stake in the political process.
00:09:46.000 But if the idea is that your opinions are smarter because Girls look at you.
00:09:51.000 No, actually, typically that is not true because actors are some of the dumbest people on planet Earth when it comes to politics.
00:09:56.000 And girls look at them all the time.
00:09:57.000 Anyway, I'm also not going to take advice on masculinity from a dude who spends 20 minutes on his makeup to go out.
00:10:04.000 Now, there's some of us who appear professionally on TV, right?
00:10:07.000 Like I do this.
00:10:09.000 And so there's a makeup lady named Fabi who works here and she's great.
00:10:11.000 And we come in and we got to put on this stuff.
00:10:13.000 And the minute it's over, I wipe it off because I'm married to a human woman.
00:10:18.000 And if I come home with the makeup on, she says, Why are you wearing makeup?
00:10:21.000 Take it off.
00:10:21.000 You look ridiculous.
00:10:24.000 He did a 20 minute makeup routine, 20 minutes, just to go out.
00:10:31.000 20 minutes.
00:10:33.000 Which, by the way, does not, I mean, doesn't speak much to your naturalistic beauty if you, as a dude, have to put on 20 minutes of makeup.
00:10:39.000 And then he tweeted out makeup maxing is giga legit.
00:10:46.000 I'm getting so angry just at the abuse of the English language.
00:10:52.000 We are now living in the gayest version of Clockwork Orange.
00:10:57.000 We got Anthony Burgess lingo being used with the Drugs, but they're not ultra violent anymore.
00:11:05.000 Now they're just doing 20 minutes of makeup before smashing themselves in the testicles with a hammer so as to ensure testosterone flow or something.
00:11:16.000 Clavicular makeup maxing is giga legit.
00:11:21.000 Top three looks maxes, but normies will cope and jesters will max.
00:11:28.000 Oh, the poetry.
00:11:30.000 Oh, the poetry.
00:11:36.000 The cameraman who's just watching all this, imagine that's your life.
00:11:39.000 Again, I'm just imagining the lives of the people.
00:11:40.000 There could be a great documentary made about the lives of the people who have to follow these people.
00:11:46.000 Not about the people themselves.
00:11:47.000 The people themselves are unbelievably boring, but the people who have to follow them.
00:11:49.000 Imagine the painter who has to paint the clavicular mural, or imagine the cameraman who just has to follow around clavicular as he does 20 minutes of makeup more than his girlfriend does.
00:12:01.000 Yeah, the future of the West, we may be toast.
00:12:04.000 We may indeed be toast.
00:12:08.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:12:10.000 Wasn't that amazing?
