00:02:16.000This comes on the heels, of course, of, I believe it's a separate incident, but, of course, a horrific murder of...
00:02:22.000A, an Infowars staffer a couple of days ago in Austin, but then also, and this is, you know, kind of new to me, I'm just coming to it, but Sean Farash, Gunther Edgington, and potentially others, people are asking, texting me, saying, hey, are you guys okay?
00:02:39.000And my parents, people know, were SWATed.
00:02:44.000A year ago at Christmastime, and since then, the individual who did that, I was going to pull up the case a second ago, I was just looking it up, was actually found and extradited to the United States.
00:02:58.000It was actually a foreign case, but I guess this guy thought that he could get away with it, but he could not, and so it seems to me there's another round of swattings that's going on.
00:03:11.000Right now, and honestly, it's something where, I'll just put it like this, this needs to be looked at for what it is.
00:03:19.000The reason that these are done is because they want the police to go in there, guns blazing, they want to generate, particularly when you're targeting conservatives, a lot of us are gun owners, a lot of us are...
00:03:33.000Strong enthusiasts in exercising our Second Amendment.
00:04:45.000So, look, I'd say this to anybody, though, who's in this situation or if you think you might be in a situation like this, make sure you be proactive.
00:04:57.000Find out whoever's running the shift on there and tell them, hey, I might be a potential target of this or this might be something that's going on.
00:05:10.000Try to hopefully have some friends in your local community and local law enforcement.
00:05:14.000I know I certainly do, and that's something that helped us a lot.
00:05:17.000And there's also, by the way, I'll say this as well.
00:05:21.000So a lot of these pull from those publicly available databases.
00:05:24.000Everybody knows about them where you can look up people's addresses and things like this online.
00:05:28.000Well, there are actually services that you can get and pay for.
00:05:31.000I'm not advertising any here, but just go and look into it yourself where you can go and get it.
00:05:36.000And it's a little bit of money, but it's not that much money actually at the end of the day where they can run real-time monitoring and actually get your information pulled down from those websites on a rolling basis.
00:05:49.000Sometimes if it gets leaked somehow, and it includes, by the way, other PII, like email addresses, phone numbers.
00:05:55.000You can get family members on there, etc.
00:06:05.000I would just highly recommend that to anybody who's worried about this.
00:06:10.000We had an event recently and someone came up threatening and literally reading off my home address, like threatening us live on air there in front of a lot of people.
00:06:21.000So I'm looking it up now just as an example because we did that case where they extradited some individuals for swatting and they got these two guys, a guy from Romania and a guy from Serbia.
00:06:30.000Their list of code names that they used for communicating.
00:06:45.000But they had 29 counts of threats and false information regarding explosives and 4 counts of transmitting threats in interstate and foreign commerce.
00:06:53.000And I imagine if these guys are convicted, they could get...
00:06:56.000You know, several years in prison, but I think the way you crack this down, you crack down on this for good is you catch someone doing this and you say, your goal was to have someone get shot by police.
00:07:09.000We are charging you with attempted murder.
00:07:12.000And the federal government should do it.
00:07:14.000You do it to one person and after that, they are the example where everyone thinks, I'm not going to swat someone because my stupid feud on the internet is not worth 40 years in prison.
00:08:17.000I think this was bipartisan for a time.
00:08:20.000I just have to compliment the police forces, though.
00:08:23.000The police forces, praise God, they've been going in a lot more restrained, and they're getting prepped on this, and they are getting, for example, where our headquarters is, and everyone can figure that out, we've sat down with police, and we're on a list that if there's ever a crisis call, they have to call back and be like, is it actually a...
00:09:40.000There's more people that want to hit famous people, and the famous people, for the most part, they already have plans like that that you're describing.
00:09:48.000For most of those people, they know to call back, to double-check, do all that before they send somebody.
00:09:53.000A lot of the people on the right that are kind of up-and-comer are a lot of influencers and things like that.
00:09:59.000Aren't, like, known celebrities and things like that that haven't come up with those plans with the local law enforcement.
00:10:05.000So I think it's easier for the left to go after kind of right-leaning influencers and, you know, our celebs and do that kind of thing.
00:10:14.000I mean, I think it's repulsive, and I think the FBI should get involved.
00:10:23.000And it's a growing and serious major issue.
00:10:27.000I'm looking now, and one guy did get 20 years in prison.
00:10:30.000There was a swatting in Wichita in 2017 where a man was angry over a beef in the video game Call of Duty World War II. And so he swatted someone, and that got someone killed.
00:11:42.000A man in 2020 died of a heart attack while police were hitting his house, and the swatting was done against him in an attempt to force him to give up his Twitter handle, at Tennessee.
00:12:31.000Nah, it's just a Seattle suburb, of course.
00:12:34.000Anyway, so the town of Linwood, Washington, has a city council, and they were going to appoint someone to a vacancy.
00:12:41.000I guess it's a town where that can happen.
00:12:43.000And they settled on an individual named Jessica Ann Roberts, 32 years old.
00:12:51.000And they chose Jessica Ann Roberts over a military veteran who was also contending for the post.
00:12:57.000And then after they made the announcement, a few people pointed out, wait, have you guys actually looked up this person or done any sort of background check?
00:13:07.000You know, I think I'll just read the headline from the Post Millennial here.
00:13:26.000That's one only real life could create.
00:13:29.000So, Jessica Ann Roberts was born Neil Vincent Roberts and has a hidden history as a sex worker that includes an uncontrollable desire to impregnate women and then eat them.
00:13:41.000So, in other words, this guy was just too normal for the Democrat party.
00:13:45.000Basically, everything was fine up until the cannibalism.
00:13:57.000It had to be close because the Democrats are kind of in favor of eating unborn children, so it was probably that they wanted to eat the mom, too, that would put it over the line for them.
00:14:08.000But yeah, we have some images of what they were saying, and I believe edited so that they're not...
00:15:20.000I want to get better just in case I find myself a snack.
00:15:24.000And then I'm not sure if the OP is that guy or if this other...
00:15:28.000Is it the other Aardvark guy who's this one?
00:15:31.000I love scoping up random girls and taunting them about how they're going to fuel me, how their entire life built up to the moment where I snuff them out and use their fat and nutrients to become stronger.
00:15:53.000Now, admittedly, they appear to have not known about this, but I've got to admit, I feel like there were probably warning signs.
00:16:01.000Possibly some sort of visible external sign that this individual was mentally unwell and perhaps in the grips of delusions and insanity of some kind.
00:16:27.000Ever see your dog slowing down or having health issues and wonder what can I do to make them better?
00:16:33.000Well, my friend, add rough greens to your dog's food for 90 days and you'll see changes that will amaze you, guaranteed.
00:16:39.000Invented by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black, Rough Greens wants to invite you and give your pup the Rough Greens 90-Day Challenge.
00:16:48.000In the first 30 days, you'll see shinier coats and increased energy.
00:16:51.000By day 60, your dog will have a stronger immune system, less shedding, and improved joint function all due to live nutrients you've added to their diet.
00:17:00.000And at 90 days, better digestion, reduced inflammation, improved heart health, and you might even have reduced their cancer risk.
00:17:08.000Fetch a free Jumpstart trial bag for your dog today.
00:17:32.000Yeah, you know, I mean, it's like the great line.
00:17:35.000They always used to go after Trump for this, for saying, you know, he's talking about illegals, but he always used to bring up Hannibal Lecter on the campaign trail saying, you know, Hannibal Lecter, he wants to have you for dinner, and talking about the emptying of prisons, and he would sort of use this as a, you know, a sobriquet to explain sort of the insanity that was going on.
00:17:54.000But Charlie, you know, I think it really goes to show you that when we talk about the insanity, That is perpetuated in the United States today.
00:18:05.000And it makes me think of something we talked about last year in our book that we identified called the fried mental model.
00:18:12.000And there's a lot of people out there that just have an absolutely fried mental model of the world.
00:18:18.000Many of them are located in some of these places.
00:18:21.000That are hotbeds of leftism, like a lot of the Washington area is.
00:18:27.000This is the state of Washington, so you've got Seattle up there.
00:18:31.000I witnessed just insane levels of depravity and degeneracy when I was there.
00:18:37.000But, of course, you see it all throughout the Pacific Northwest.
00:18:40.000And these sort of things used to be confined to those areas, but now because of the Internet and because of TikTok, these types of ideas, these types of social contagions, and these types of ideals, Are spread everywhere.
00:18:54.000And so it's almost like they sort of have a race to the bottom that's going on because leftist politics actually incentivizes this kind of behavior in certain ways.
00:19:02.000So that in order to be more risque, in order to be more taboo against the social order, you must push yourself to further and further extreme behaviors.
00:20:30.000Of course, we as conservatives think the body is sacred and it's disgusting and wrong and repulsive and evil to consume a fellow human being.
00:20:39.000Otherwise, besides all the other legal...
00:20:42.000What is the left-wing objection to cannibalism?
00:20:45.000To go even further, I don't think they could even articulate that the fact that someone would have this fetish that they want to eat someone, that this indicates something is wrong with them when it clearly does.
00:22:12.000And you can see even in that, to what you just read, there's this weirdo crossover between all this stuff that they've tried to normalize into literally murder and cannibalism.
00:24:34.000I don't want to be me, Charlie, but I feel like we're probably closer to, like, do you think if they made a perfectly, if they came out and they're like, this AI perfectly replicates Donald Trump, like, quite a few people would probably want to vote for that.
00:24:51.000Pete Buttigieg is a man who, when he was, like, 16 years old, he made the list of, like, everything he had to do to become president, and he's been sociopathically executing it ever since.
00:24:59.000The fact that he's even entertained as a serious contender.
00:25:48.000You know, it's like recycling, you know?
00:25:50.000Well, yeah, I mean, so, but if your whole goal is about saving the environment, to Blake's point, look at all that protein and nutrients that otherwise could be going to nourish.
00:25:58.000Yeah, this would have to be the most moral type of meat out there.
00:26:01.000But think about it, if we want to no longer have carbon emissions because of farting cows or because of all the industrial farming, you know, there's millions of people that die in America every single year.
00:26:27.000So I've read some theories about that where in a generation ship...
00:26:32.000So guys, that means the possibility for interstellar travel because it takes so long to travel there at sub-late speeds.
00:26:39.000that you would have multiple generations of families living on the ship before it gets from one planet to the other.
00:26:45.000And that one of the potential uses for the older generation that dies would then be for their bodies and protein to go into like either, you know, creating like a biosphere type thing on the ship or go into some sort of like hydroponic thing or be able to use in the ship's energy, creating like a biosphere type thing on the ship or go It's kind of like a matrix sort of thing.
00:27:07.000All kidding aside, we'll get to the next segment.
00:27:10.000In the Christian tradition, we believe the body is sacred.
00:27:14.000And that's why we believe Christ actually took human flesh.
00:27:17.000We believe we're actually going to be resurrected again one day, that the human body should not be trivialized, that there's something special about it, that you were made in the image of God, not in the image of the Big Whopper.
00:27:37.000The sarcasm actually is laced in, I want a liberal to come on and tell me, by the liberal standard, What is the argument against cannibalism?
00:27:47.000We might need to have our first liberal on thought crime just to probe this question.
00:27:51.000We can't say more about it, but we should find that guy who was at University of Tennessee today.
00:28:40.000One of his fun ideas is he said, like, you know, we're going to punish criminals and we're going to punish them by putting them in virtual reality prison.
00:28:47.000So we have much better virtual reality tech now.
00:28:50.000We get those goggles you can put on and you can go to the Facebook Magical World and hang out with people.
00:30:31.000What is actually on their VR? So the description in this article that I'm looking at in The Guardian that came out a few days ago is this woman is in a women's prison in California, but it says two and a half years into a five-year prison sentence, this woman was about...
00:30:48.000Samantha Tovar was about to see Thailand for the first time.
00:30:52.000And so she puts it on and she basically goes on a virtual tour of stuff in Thailand.
00:31:25.000And they've got this whole, actually, they've got this whole restaurant in California now where it's like a VR restaurant where it's like a big screen.
00:31:31.000You're inside it and you feel like you're in the stadium.
00:31:39.000Well, I think after a while you feel the goggle, you know, and it's like, I don't think your mind can get past the fact.
00:31:46.000That you're wearing something that's on top of yourself.
00:31:49.000I, at least, here's where, somebody once told me recently, they said, my relative, my uncle or whatever, works all day, gets home, and just puts on his goggles and spends four hours with them.
00:33:19.000About $45 billion of private student loan debt is labeled as distressed.
00:33:25.000They provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay.
00:33:29.000YREFI does not care what your credit score is.
00:33:31.000Many clients aren't even able to make the minimum monthly payment on their private student loans when they first contact YREFI. Go to YREFI.com.
00:34:00.000So they provide you with a custom loan payment.
00:34:02.000If you have private student loan debt, if your brother, your sister, your friend, your aunt, your uncle, you've heard them talk about it recently.
00:34:08.000You're like, oh, I just can't get out of this.
00:35:01.000And coddled collegiate atmosphere or something like that, like a community college or a dorm or something.
00:35:06.000But the idea, though, is that there's way too much.
00:35:10.000Look, I'll talk about what I know about.
00:35:12.000So when I served a year at Guantanamo Bay, and that's based off of the Federal Correctional Institutes, and we had some areas there where they had apartments with kitchens.
00:35:25.000No, that was for, like, extremely good behavior.
00:35:28.000But, yeah, you could have, like, an apartment and a kitchen.
00:37:42.000I mean, if the goal is just to protect the public and, you know, they're not learning helpful skills, just give them a bunch of valiums and muscle relaxers.
00:37:52.000There's some people that would want to just do that.
00:39:08.000One of the quotes in this Guardian article is this person who says this Ortega guy was using the headset and was viewing the Eiffel Tower, basically.
00:39:20.000A transformative scene for Ortega was sitting around the Eiffel Tower.
00:39:23.000You see tourists, regular people, going to and from work, he said.
00:39:33.000On the one hand, it's good he reached this realization he shouldn't do crime.
00:39:36.000On the other hand, I feel like he was able to see people doing things like that In real life, and apparently that didn't make the impression on him.
00:39:46.000He had to do it in the VR video game to actually experience this.
00:39:50.000There's something very bizarre about that.
00:39:52.000What if you used the headsets, but you had to force them to do just educational stuff, like go through museums?
00:42:48.000And when Jesus said, you know, I am the vine, he meant the vines that were on Twitter back in the day.
00:42:54.000I do think that VR is cool for things where you can't be somewhere.
00:42:58.000So, for example, if you're across the world or across the country and you're really old and you can't get to your kid's baptism or some play, recital or something, the future of that is grandpa can put on a headset and feel like he's there.
00:46:19.000It's still a complete waste of time, but we're getting closer to some redemptive value.
00:46:23.000It's interesting for the viewer because you can always tell when somebody's not going to be a good match, but they think they're a good match.
00:46:30.000And then you waste 45 minutes watching that happen.
00:46:55.000You just knew he wasn't going to like the girl, and he saw the girl, and he's just trying to get out of it then because he committed to marrying her.
00:47:01.000And so after he saw her, he's like, you could just tell.
00:47:04.000He's trying to find a way, but he spent five episodes trying to get out of it.
00:47:35.000They aren't supposed to talk about appearance, but one season a guy asked a girl, if hypothetically we met at a music festival, would I be able to put you on my shoulders easily?
00:50:31.000I know this one specific couple because it was hilarious watching this guy see this girl and you could tell he was really into it, really into it, and they met and he's like, oh, that's not my...
00:50:42.000I'm just amazed people still watch TV. The big picture here, which has to be brought up, is...
00:50:48.000Are people who watch reality TV humans?
00:50:51.000No, it's trash TV. This is 100% trash TV. We've got to get to the clip because we're crescendoing to the clip.
00:57:27.000Yeah, no, I mean, look, this kind of goes back to, you know, funny enough, like, it goes back to what I was saying in the other segment, where we've just got too many people in this country that have this fried mental model that are, like, over-socialized.
00:57:41.000People are way too invested in politics into their personal lives.
00:57:46.000They bring these things out and they bring these things up as if it's some kind of, like, deep-seated...
00:57:53.000And look, I certainly want people to understand what's going on in their country.
00:57:58.000But the idea that you're going to run your entire life over what someone's views on like BLM are or some kind of like – and if you're just like some normie, that's not actually a good situation for the country, right?
00:58:13.000Like we don't want to be so over-politicized.
00:58:15.000We want people to be getting married and having kids and sort of going on about their life and having their quality of life be somewhat stable and living in a system that's somewhat stable.
00:58:25.000So the fact that politics in general is so mainstreamed, it just kind of shows how bad things have gotten.
00:58:33.000Up until this point, you know, up through the 2024 moment, the 2020 moment, obviously.
00:58:38.000Because in a stable society, you know, people are just kind of going about their lives.
00:58:42.000And you're not going to be mixing politics with, like, a dating show.
00:58:47.000Go back to, what was the old, oh my gosh, the dating show on MTV back in the day, like the original dating show.
00:59:17.000That's Sean Duffy and his wife actually met on The Real World, which was the original reality TV show.
00:59:24.000Rachel Campos-Tuffy and their incredible family and obviously incredible relationship that actually started on another reality show also on MTV called The Real World.
00:59:33.000And The Real World did start to edge into the political and religious stuff, but not so much political.
00:59:38.000That was like the whole point, I think.
00:59:43.000Because, like, Sean Duffy's season, just because I looked him up once, was, like, they had a person in their house, like, who, because Sean Duffy was, like, conservative at the time, and then, like, they had a person who was, like, had AIDS, so he was, like, you know, because this was the early 90s, and so that was much more taboo then.
00:59:58.000But Jack's, right, like, the old dating shows were so much more, like, fluffy and just fun and stupid, right?
01:00:05.000And, like, just, like, you never would get that deep.
01:00:09.000The Real World was their first real reality show.
01:00:14.000Which really goes out the truth of this, which is the cosmic thing that's important, which is one, reality TV is actually fake, and two, people who watch reality TV should not be allowed to vote.
01:03:00.000What I will say is, the, uh, I think...
01:03:03.000The CDC or whoever, when they were doing one of their obesity warnings, they were commenting on how much TV Americans watched, and they were suggesting you should be more active.
01:03:13.000And one of their ways to suggest being more active for the truly hopeless watch 40 hours of TV a week was try playing video games instead because you at least move your hands.
01:08:21.000So this is like a hundred people would be in a game at once, which is way more like, you know, Halo, you could be like 4v4 at best, but this was, you can have a hundred people and it's called a battle royale.
01:09:11.000Please, Jack, affirm me because I'm a stranger in the wilderness on this topic.
01:09:17.000So my kids are kind of at the age where they're starting to get video game curious.
01:09:24.000We don't have games in the house, but they'll like...
01:09:27.000You know, we have like one of those smart TVs, and so they could see kind of like, you know, videos of people playing games, or they'll go through the store and look at games.
01:09:36.000And you look at stuff, and you're like, okay, Minecraft is just a ripoff of Legos in 3D. Roblox is just a ripoff of Minecraft.
01:09:45.000There's another one, actually Cernovich was telling me about it the other day, that his kids are into, and I looked into it, and I'm like...
01:09:51.000This is just a ripoff of all the same games again.
01:09:54.000And then when you go and look at the actual popular non-building things games, it's literally all the same characters that were popular in the late 80s, early 90s.
01:10:16.000The only one that I've heard that's like...
01:10:18.000Kind of new as Five Nights at Freddy's, which I'm not even going to get into right now.
01:10:22.000But, like, the vast majority of games that you go out and see right now, like, just, you know, walking through the aisle looking, I'm like, wait a minute.
01:10:29.000These are all the exact same games and characters that were around, like, 30 years ago.
