Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Armed Man CHARGES Capitol With SHOTGUN, CIVIL WAR FEVER | Timcast IRL #1451 w- Rep Riley Moore

00:02:36.000 A man in a tactical vest, armed with a loaded shotgun and additional rounds, got out of vehicle and stormed towards the Capitol before he was apprehended, charged and arrested we don't know his motive just yet, and things like this do happen, so maybe it's nothing, but I got to be honest, considering just the other day, there was a transgender unhinged individual who went up and shot up his family at this hockey ring. 0.97

00:03:01.000 There are t-shirts being sold celebrating political violence, the ICE attacks, threats, violence escalation, all of that at the ground level.

00:03:11.000 And then at the political level, you have the redistricting where Virginia recently got approval from their Supreme Court to wipe out four Republican seats.

00:03:18.000 So the conversation's basically coming to an end.

00:03:20.000 I look at a story like this in D.C. and I say, ah, that freaks me out.

00:03:24.000 Because the issue is, it's always a grain of sand that eventually makes the heap, right?

00:03:28.000 That's the saying that I often use.

00:03:30.000 At what point is this not just some one-off crazy person, but the beginnings of a pattern or some kind of trend?

00:03:36.000 And maybe, just maybe, we all beg, we hope, and we pray that this was just some lone nut crazy guy who believes crazy things who tried attacking the Capitol by himself for some dumb reason.

00:03:48.000 The scarier thing is that, of course, he's by himself, but what if he's motivated by mainstream ideology of any faction?

00:03:56.000 I don't know.

00:03:57.000 Presumably, we're going to see this on the left because of the violence coming from the left.

00:04:00.000 But if it is this fervor generated by the online resentment or just general political disarray, that's where things are getting scary.

00:04:10.000 And so I look at this story, and there's a bunch of others where you can see that there's no conversation happening between the left and the right, only escalation.

00:04:17.000 And the question that we've asked on this show is: where is the off-ramp?

00:04:20.000 So let's analyze this story and see if there's actually anything going on there.

00:04:23.000 And then we've got some fun stories for you.

00:04:25.000 Fun is in nightmarish and terrifying.

00:04:27.000 Like Zorhan Mamdani announced that he's raiding the retirement funds, their rainy day funds for the city, cranking up property taxes.

00:04:34.000 And I kid you not, holy crap, literally crap all over the streets of New York City.

00:04:39.000 These videos are insane.

00:04:40.000 And the question is, what happened as soon as he got in?

00:04:44.000 What did he drop that just caused this chaos in New York?

00:04:48.000 But surprise, surprise, all of these people thought Zorhan Mamdani was going to come for the rich.

00:04:53.000 Instead, he's going after literally everybody, looting their retirements and their rainy day fund because that's what communists do.

00:05:01.000 And then, of course, AOC at the Munich Security Conference sounding like an idiot.

00:05:06.000 Of course, the question is: why was she there?

00:05:09.000 The presumption is she wants to run for president. 0.92

00:05:12.000 Well, fortunately for us, she sounded so stupid.

00:05:15.000 I think a lot of people are like, this lady should not be president. 0.99

00:05:17.000 But when has policy or facts ever gotten in the way of someone who has charisma, right?

00:05:22.000 I mean, we can talk about Donald Trump.

00:05:24.000 He can, he can, what do they call it?

00:05:26.000 He can, well, he can maneuver his way through any conversation.

00:05:29.000 Unfortunate for people like Gary Johnson, who actually just tries to be honest and says, What is Aleppo?

00:05:34.000 We're going to get into all of that and more before we do, my friends.

00:08:48.000 I came in.

00:08:48.000 I walk into the studio and you're out shredding the NAR outside.

00:08:51.000 Yeah, a little bit there.

00:08:52.000 Yeah, is that their skate?

00:08:54.000 Putting the insurance policy to the test.

00:08:56.000 I love seeing it.

00:08:58.000 I knew that skateboard is in good hands.

00:09:00.000 Phil, what's up?

00:09:01.000 Hey, what's up, everybody?

00:09:02.000 My name is Philabante.

00:09:03.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:09:04.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:09:07.000 Carter?

00:09:09.000 Is this dragging?

00:09:10.000 What's up?

00:09:10.000 No.

00:09:11.000 Hello, thirds, man.

00:09:12.000 They're killing me.

00:09:13.000 But yeah, definitely become a member of the Discord.

00:09:15.000 I heard there's going to be a cutout of Ian at that party, as Tim was saying.

00:09:19.000 Well, I mean, hopefully.

00:09:20.000 Maybe.

00:09:20.000 We still have to figure it out.

00:09:22.000 Right.

00:09:22.000 Figure out dates.

00:09:23.000 It's probably going to be in the next couple of weeks, actually.

00:09:27.000 It might be like the last week of March.

00:09:28.000 I'm not entirely sure.

00:09:30.000 Word.

00:09:30.000 Dude, you're playing guitar hero over there with a.

00:09:33.000 It's pretty crazy.

00:09:34.000 Also very fun.

00:09:36.000 Right on.

00:09:36.000 Well, let's get to the story.

00:09:38.000 We got this from CNN man in tactical vest with loaded shotgun arrested after charging U.S. Capitol.

00:09:45.000 Police say an 18-year-old in a tactical vest.

00:09:47.000 We get it.

00:09:48.000 Police identified the man as Carter Camacho of Smyrna, Georgia, and said he acted alone.

00:09:55.000 They are working to determine a motive.

00:09:56.000 Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan said Camacho, armed with a loaded shotgun, carrying additional rounds, drove a white Mercedes SUV near the Capitol before exiting and running toward the building.

00:10:05.000 He was intercepted by Capitol Police, who drew their firearms and told him to drop his gun and get on the ground.

00:10:10.000 Camacho complied and laid down before being arrested and taken into custody.

00:10:14.000 Who knows what could have happened if we didn't have officers?

00:10:17.000 The individual had a tactical vest on, the chief said, as well as tactical gloves.

00:10:22.000 Police have charged Camacho with carrying a rifle without a license, having an unregistered fireman and ammunition, as well as unlawful activities.

00:10:29.000 He was not previously known to Capitol Police.

00:10:32.000 Now, I will say we hear stories about this from time to time of some whack-aloon doing something crazy at the Capitol. 1.00

00:10:37.000 And I would argue one of two things.

00:10:40.000 If this guy was serious, why would he dress in the most obvious way imaginable with a large weapon and run for it?

00:10:48.000 If he got out of the vehicle and just walked, most people probably would not have noticed that much.

00:10:53.000 Someone might have stopped and said, excuse me, what are you doing?

00:10:56.000 But the clothes that he's wearing might just look military to the average person.

00:11:00.000 And if he's calmly walking, they might not think that much about it.

00:11:03.000 I would also then counter my own argument with stupid people are stupid and they do stupid things because they're stupid.

00:11:10.000 Yeah, doing that is very, very stupid.

00:11:12.000 I mean, this goes back.

00:11:13.000 I made this point on the noon live, and I've said it previously, is the very scary thing that's happening in the United States is we're getting a higher and higher proportion of the population that literally has nothing to lose.

00:11:23.000 And this is another example of that.

00:11:24.000 This is just a guy that for a myriad of reasons literally has nothing to lose.

00:11:29.000 So he's a crazy person, yes.

00:11:31.000 But a crazy person with nothing to lose is a serious problem.

00:11:34.000 We saw it last night in Rhode Island.

00:11:35.000 Now we're seeing it today, literally in our nation's capital.

00:11:39.000 It's a really terrifying time that we're in because, okay, yes, this guy, whatever, he was bum rushing with tactical gear on.

00:11:48.000 What happens when those people actually get serious?

00:11:50.000 What happens when these people that have nothing to lose get serious?

00:11:53.000 That's a very scary timeline that we would enter.

00:11:54.000 I want to just add completely unrelated, YouTube's down.

00:11:57.000 Oh, yeah.

00:11:58.000 So, watch on Rumble.

00:12:00.000 Yeah.

00:12:01.000 You can watch on YouTube if you have the direct URL.

00:12:03.000 So, I'll probably just tweet it out.

00:12:05.000 But a lot of people are like, I can't find it because you're going to.

00:12:08.000 He said it was on their end.

00:12:09.000 Yep.

00:12:10.000 This is YouTube's front page is totally down.

00:12:12.000 So, anyway, Riley, is the world ending?

00:12:17.000 It feels like it sometimes.

00:12:18.000 But about this moron who showed up to the Capitol with a tactical shotgun, what I can say, this is the most I can say: there are increased security questions, threats, and problems at the U.S. Capitol over last year.

00:12:41.000 This is not a one-off.

00:12:43.000 Yeah.

00:12:43.000 Really?

00:12:44.000 And so, are these are like, I don't know if classified is the right word, but they don't want people going on and talking about the security issues that they're experiencing.

00:12:52.000 There are some security issues at the Capitol.

00:12:55.000 And all I can say, this is not a one-off.

00:12:57.000 Are we talking like individuals?

00:12:58.000 Are we talking like potentially groups?

00:13:03.000 Hard to say right now if they were part of a group, but certainly individuals.

00:13:08.000 Interesting.

00:13:09.000 Yeah.

00:13:11.000 I mean, can you say anything else beyond that?

00:13:14.000 I mean, avoiding specifics of what happened.

00:13:15.000 Can we talk about, you know, are these, let me just say this.

00:13:20.000 Let's step outside of whatever that statement was.

00:13:21.000 And let me ask you: do you see any increased threats from any kind of factional political ideological groups or anything like that?

00:13:29.000 I'll speak for myself in Tifa, Antifa specifically.

00:13:35.000 I had a obviously, you like to presume this stuff isn't public.

00:13:41.000 They get rid of all of it on the internet, but you can find anything on the internet.

00:13:45.000 I had an Antifa person show up to my house.

00:13:48.000 Oh, really?

00:13:49.000 Yeah, a few months ago and just started going ballistic on my wife and my kids, and I wasn't there and they were out in the yard.

00:13:56.000 Oh, God.

00:13:58.000 And cops showed up and all that.

00:14:01.000 And look, I'm one person, but this is happening increasingly to members of Congress, but specifically Republican members of Congress.

00:14:11.000 Of course, there's security issues for people like Elon Omar and AOC, and given their stature and all that, and things that they talk about.

00:14:20.000 But there are increasing threats to all Republican members of Congress.

00:14:25.000 If you go look at the last appropriations bill, what's called the Ledge Branch Bill, you will see in there that there is a pot of money that was put in to increase security for members of Congress.

00:14:38.000 I'm actually the vice chair of that subcommittee, so I can't talk about the other stuff too much.

00:14:44.000 But that money is there for a reason.

00:14:46.000 It is there for a reason where members of Congress can now contract armed security.

00:14:52.000 Wow.

00:14:53.000 I mean, it's an incredible thing.

00:14:53.000 Yeah.

00:14:54.000 You're allowed to carry guns up there, right?

00:14:56.000 You're allowed to carry a gun, but the problem is you have to go get a DC concealed carry, which they have to allow you to get.

00:15:04.000 But of course, they raise the price on it where it's almost like a thousand bucks.

00:15:08.000 Wow.

00:15:09.000 To get the concealed carry for anybody, any member of Congress out of state, you can carry.

00:15:15.000 I wouldn't have a problem with Congress appropriating money so you guys can get it.

00:15:19.000 But I just want to say, if there's one thing Congress is really good at, it's passing laws to benefit themselves.

00:15:24.000 Yeah, right.

00:15:25.000 Yeah.

00:15:25.000 You get this?

00:15:26.000 I mean, I want just universal carry in the Capitol.

00:15:30.000 I think we should be able to capital carry and all that stuff.

00:15:32.000 You can get the concealed weapons permit to carry within the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., as a member of Congress, but you got to go through this very lengthy process of getting the concealed permit, which basically nobody gets in Washington.

00:15:46.000 Why would a member of Congress have to do that?

00:15:48.000 Like, are we really concerned that a member of Congress is going to just go rogue and start killing people?

00:15:54.000 Yeah, no, no.

00:15:56.000 And that's why I myself and I'm on the bill.

00:15:59.000 I'm on a bill for capital carry.

00:16:01.000 You know what?

00:16:01.000 I can't allow members to carry in the cabinet.

00:16:04.000 I got to stop right there.

00:16:05.000 I actually just thought about it and think Congress probably has a disproportionate amount of crooks.

00:16:09.000 Maybe they should.

00:16:11.000 Yeah, like some Congress members will just get out of session and then they'll go out somewhere in DC and start like jacking people in their wallet.

00:16:19.000 I mean, a little extra income.

00:16:21.000 A little bit, you know.

00:16:21.000 You know, and it's funny because there was a move.

00:16:24.000 I can't remember how long ago it was.

00:16:25.000 Congress was trying to raise their salaries.

00:16:27.000 AOC got a lot of heat for it.

00:16:27.000 Yeah.

00:16:29.000 And I was actually kind of middle of the road on it.

00:16:31.000 I said, guys, you got to understand they have like you guys have to maintain two residences.

00:16:35.000 And probably not you because I'm like the exception, except for some of the Democrats around the beltway.

00:16:41.000 But most everybody else.

00:16:41.000 Right.

00:16:43.000 Residences.

00:16:43.000 Yeah.

00:16:44.000 If you're within a few hours' drive, you might just opt for driving a longer commute when you have to.

00:16:50.000 Yeah, or sleep in your office or get a hotel or, you know, in the times that you can't go back home.

00:16:55.000 But if you're, if you're somebody who's, say, like, you know, Wyoming.

00:16:58.000 Oh, yeah, you don't have a choice.

00:17:00.000 And so what is what is a congressional salary?

00:17:00.000 Right.

00:17:02.000 Like 174?

00:17:03.000 174.

00:17:04.000 Yeah.

00:17:04.000 And so you need to have a DC apartment and your home residence off that salary.

00:17:08.000 They expect you to be working full-time.

00:17:10.000 And it is actually funny history on this thing.

00:17:10.000 Yeah.

00:17:14.000 It is actually the law that there was a COLA passed.

00:17:18.000 I think it was 2006.

00:17:21.000 And then Pelosi started putting a waiver in on the COLA, which is now compounded over what's a COLA?

00:17:27.000 Cost of living adjustment.

00:17:29.000 And so that's what all federal workers get.

00:17:31.000 So this COLA was passed.

00:17:33.000 I wasn't there then, obviously.

00:17:35.000 It passed.

00:17:37.000 And everyone's issued a waiver on it over the last 20 years.

00:17:41.000 So now it's compounded.

00:17:42.000 The funny thing is, there's actually some members of Congress who have sued over this.

00:17:46.000 And there's a lawsuit around the pay raise where it's like, look, this is law.

00:17:53.000 The COLA is here.

00:17:54.000 The Speaker or Congress can't just waive a law.

00:17:57.000 You have to institute the law.

00:17:59.000 So now you're in a place where if this lawsuit is successful, everyone's getting paid and back paid and all this other stuff.

00:18:07.000 They could have just done it.

00:18:08.000 I know it's rough.

00:18:09.000 I've heard stories of members of Congress sleeping in their offices, like on the floor and stuff.

00:18:12.000 You're not supposed to.

00:18:13.000 But have you considered just insider trading?

00:18:16.000 Yeah.

00:18:17.000 I mean, that's another option.

00:18:19.000 Not for me.

00:18:20.000 I don't own any stocks.

00:18:21.000 But yeah, I and Paulina Luna, she's got a bill on this, which we are going to take up in the House.

00:18:28.000 We are going to take up in the House.

00:18:29.000 We're going to take up the Stock Trading Act that's coming up for sure.

00:18:34.000 We have gone through that piece of legislation.

00:18:36.000 We're going to vote on it.

00:18:37.000 It's going to be a question of what the Senate does on that bill.

00:18:40.000 I know a lot of people listening are probably really upset that Pelosi's retiring because now you're going to be able to pick your stocks based on what she's picking.

00:18:51.000 But to be fair, Inverse Kramer beats me.

00:18:53.000 Beating Pelosi.

00:18:54.000 Inverse Kramer be just on inverse Kramer.

00:18:58.000 For those that don't know, Jim Kramer, the famous stock TV guy, if you only were to have bought the opposite of what he said to buy, you would have better returns than Nancy Pelosi, who is accused of insider trading to enrich herself.

00:19:14.000 Who's beating up?

00:19:15.000 That's Warren Buffett, by the way.

00:19:16.000 Possessing Warren Buffett.

00:19:17.000 Yes.

00:19:18.000 Inverse Kramer is beating Warren Buffett.

00:19:20.000 I got to tell you.

00:19:22.000 I think the secret is that Jim Kramer actually is a savant.

00:19:25.000 He is a genius.

00:19:27.000 And I'm just going to imagine that every time he says not to buy something, he winks.

00:19:31.000 Yeah.

00:19:32.000 Don't buy this one.

00:19:33.000 It reminds me of Seinfeld, you know, Costanza.

00:19:35.000 It's like, I'm just going to start doing the opposite of all my instincts here.

00:19:38.000 He was like, 08, and he's like, mortgage-backed securities, the greatest thing since sliced bread.

00:19:43.000 Unbelievable.

00:19:44.000 So there's actually an app out there.

00:19:48.000 It's like the policy stock trader app or whatever, and you can just like whatever her put options are, you can mirror those.

00:19:54.000 Yeah, I haven't been plugging it, but I'm printing off of it.

00:19:56.000 I'll say, let's jump to this and keep the conversation going on what we saw at the Capitol.

00:20:01.000 We've got this from New York Fashion Design Network.

00:20:05.000 That's right.

00:20:05.000 It's the anti-fascist okay flag shirt.

00:20:09.000 It's modeled off of the Gazen flag, essentially.

00:20:11.000 It's a guy saying, okay.

00:20:13.000 And as you can see, it is what would one, it is an individual one would describe as a chungus cocking his fist back. 0.78

00:20:20.000 And it's based off of punching a young man at a school in Illinois in the face for saying, I support ICE.

00:20:26.000 And you know what I love about this story, right?

00:20:28.000 We've got it here from Daily Dot.

00:20:30.000 Pro-ICE troll gets punched at school.

00:20:33.000 The kid who did it is now a meme legend.

00:20:36.000 Indeed.

00:20:37.000 To the left, if you violently assault peaceful individuals with different opinions, you're a legend.

00:20:42.000 And the guy said, you're going to get in trouble for that.

00:20:44.000 He says, okay, and then punches him.

00:20:46.000 But you know what I really love about this story?

00:20:48.000 These two young men in Lake Zurich, Illinois.

00:20:52.000 Hey, that's out of Chicago.

00:20:54.000 These two young men exemplify the culture.

00:20:57.000 We're so perfectly the zealous, psychotic, and morbidly obese leftist punching the frail, low-T right-winger.

00:21:06.000 Sorry, Wright.

00:21:07.000 I'm not cutting you any slack.

00:21:08.000 With all due respect to this young man who was the victim of this, conservatives at the macro level have consistently just been like, well, slow down, Democrats.

00:21:17.000 And the Democrats have been like, I'm going to go shoot up a Tesla station.

00:21:20.000 And so we've gotten all this terror.

00:21:21.000 We've gotten these mass shooters.

00:21:23.000 We've gotten ICE shootings.

00:21:25.000 And even after leftists went to ICE facilities and CPP facilities and shot cops and shot at people, killing innocent bystanders, they're still like, for what reason would ICE be scared when we show up screaming in their faces with guns?

00:21:39.000 And so you get a story like this.

00:21:42.000 And this is the micro.

00:21:43.000 Some morbidly obese lefty punches a guy who's peacefully protesting.

00:21:48.000 And the guy who gets punched says, you can't do that.

00:21:50.000 You'll get in trouble.

00:21:51.000 Congratulations, Republicans.

00:21:53.000 Keep telling the left they'll get in trouble.

00:21:55.000 No one's holding them accountable.

00:21:57.000 It's a reflection of the way that conservatives and Republicans in D.C. behave.

00:22:02.000 They don't want to exercise power when they have it, right?

00:22:05.000 Like, so I don't know what the guy that got punched looked like.

00:22:07.000 I haven't seen this video.

00:22:09.000 But if you're in a position where someone is going to hit you, like you don't have to wait to be hit to defend yourself.

00:22:16.000 Republicans on Capitol Hill, they should be getting rid of the filibuster in the Senate. 0.99

00:22:22.000 They should be doing everything.

00:22:24.000 They should be doing all the gerrymandering they can.

00:22:26.000 And they don't do any of it because they're terrified of exercising power.

00:22:29.000 And the argument you constantly hear is, well, what about when the Democrats put the Democrats?

00:22:33.000 And this is an argument we make all the time on the show.

00:22:36.000 The Democrats have already done it.

00:22:37.000 Guys, real quick, just don't forget what you're going to say, put a pin.

00:22:40.000 I have to say this.

00:22:42.000 People often don't understand the definition of irony.

00:22:46.000 And it's difficult to explain it to them if they don't know.

00:22:48.000 It's not super difficult.

00:22:50.000 There's an example I like to give, and it's a fire truck on fire, right?

00:22:54.000 The statement is, of course, the fire truck is intended to put the fire out, but itself is not on fire.

00:22:59.000 That is one form, a principal form of irony.

00:23:01.000 I bring this up because many of you are aware that as we're doing the show, YouTube is down.

00:23:06.000 It's broken.

00:23:07.000 So we're checking Down Detector to determine whether or not YouTube is experiencing problems.

00:23:12.000 But in fact, Down Detector is now down as well.

00:23:14.000 And so I believe it may have just recovered, but there were some reporting that Down Detector is down, which is another perfect example of irony.

00:23:23.000 Anyway, you were going to say something.

00:23:25.000 Yeah, look, the Democrats, when they say it, they mean it.

00:23:28.000 Like, they do not play games.

00:23:30.000 They play for keeps, and clearly we're not.

00:23:33.000 And I know we're going to get into the redistricting thing here in a little bit.

00:23:38.000 Go look at Indiana.

00:23:40.000 Look at Indiana.

00:23:41.000 These guys had the ability to redistrict.

00:23:44.000 That's a state that Trump won overwhelmingly all three times.

00:23:48.000 And they're like, nope, we're not going to do it.

00:23:50.000 Meanwhile, over in Virginia, they're like, yeah, we're going 10-1.

00:23:52.000 We're not playing games.

00:23:53.000 Yep.

00:23:54.000 We are not playing games.

00:23:55.000 So I wanted to ask you, because back earlier, you're talking about with Antifa, and obviously they're ramping up their threats and they're acting them out, which is the most terrifying part.

00:24:04.000 But following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, obviously getting Antifa labeled as an FTO was like massive.

00:24:11.000 That was a huge deal.

00:24:11.000 And honestly, a lot of people miss that.

00:24:13.000 That is a big deal.

00:24:14.000 Have you seen anything like on the congressional side?

00:24:16.000 Any sort of seeing that in action, I guess, so to speak?

00:24:20.000 I mean, it's because it's such a massive deal, but I feel like we don't hear about it very often.

00:24:24.000 Yeah, I've not really seen it in action too much.

00:24:27.000 And just to be clear, any Antifa members, if you are listening, if you set foot on my property, I am going to shoot you.

00:24:32.000 But that should be a standing order for West Virginia.

00:24:37.000 I want to stress: West Virginia is not the same as many of these states.

00:24:43.000 Texas probably is the strongest of laws.

00:24:45.000 Texas allows you to shoot someone for touching, for threatening your property.

00:24:49.000 Yes.

00:24:49.000 Like literally, someone could grab your stereo and in Texas, you can shoot them.

00:24:53.000 That's the law.

00:24:54.000 West Virginia is very, very, very good on these laws in terms of protecting your land.

00:24:59.000 West Virginia, and correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding, because we went through this with security, you're allowed to defend yourself if someone trespasses on open land.

00:25:07.000 Meaning, if you've got like five-acre property, you're taking the garbage out and someone is coming onto your property, threatening you, you don't have to wait.

00:25:14.000 You don't have to flee.

00:25:14.000 You have to run.

00:25:15.000 And it makes sense in places like New Jersey, and New Jersey is, we shouldn't even mention it's so insane.

00:25:19.000 But Maryland is a good example because you even have Western Maryland just north of the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.

00:25:26.000 You have to flee into your home.

00:25:28.000 Then once you're in your home, if they try to breach the you know the entrance to your home, you're allowed to use lethal force.

00:25:34.000 West Virginia's like, nah.

00:25:36.000 Now, we have Castle Doctrine here.

00:25:38.000 Castle Doctrine.

00:25:38.000 Oh, but Maryland claims to as well.

00:25:40.000 No, they do not.

00:25:42.000 And so, and just to be clear, if you're on my property threatening manner, you're getting shot.

00:25:47.000 But not just like a random guy, like he's selling cookies for antifo bake sales.

00:25:52.000 Yeah, you can you can knock on my door if you're the Girl Scouts.

00:25:54.000 Don't worry about it.

00:25:55.000 But yeah, I haven't really seen too much of it in action.

00:25:59.000 But yeah, look, I mean, it is all of this stuff is ramping up.

00:26:02.000 The Democrats don't play games.

00:26:04.000 They don't.

00:26:04.000 And I mean, look, look at we had a Supreme Court rule last term with President Biden on student loans.

00:26:13.000 And they're just like, yeah, we're going to ignore that.

00:26:15.000 Yeah.

00:26:15.000 Yeah, we're not listening to that.

00:26:16.000 We're not doing that.

00:26:17.000 Bro, it's just hilarious.

00:26:19.000 Check this out.

00:26:20.000 Evan loves Wharf, SG.

00:26:22.000 It is insane.

00:26:23.000 Yeah, he's a lefty and he's celebrating the violence with 17.1 million views.

00:26:28.000 So here's my pitch.

00:26:30.000 And we need some, maybe this one's for the Discord community, guys.

00:26:34.000 This one's for you, the Discord community.

00:26:36.000 I want to make a coffee table book that is just every page will be for threats or celebrations of violence from leftists.

00:26:46.000 And then, yes, I am not even kidding.

00:26:48.000 Because like I see this, and these lefties are like, yay, violence against conservatives who are being peaceful.

00:26:55.000 And then when you go to these liberals and say the left is more violent, they go, no, we're not.

00:26:59.000 And it's like, here's the coffee table book.

00:27:01.000 Shut up. 0.95

00:27:02.000 There's no arguing anymore.

00:27:03.000 Now, when you're at Thanksgiving, you buy it for Christmas for your liberal aunt uncle and you say, look, it's a book of all the times the left threatened to murder people and then did, or punched people and celebrated it.

00:27:13.000 It's 3,000 pages long.

00:27:15.000 Rakes the table.

00:27:16.000 So we talked about it internally here.

00:27:18.000 Like, what do we do to aggregate all these threats?

00:27:20.000 And we were like, it could be tough.

00:27:22.000 We could theoretically go to like a, like, an AI and say, start pulling tweets.

00:27:27.000 We could find historic ones.

00:27:28.000 But if we want to get all the good stuff from blue sky, like the funny thing is, even Will Stansel, who's another liberal guy, has this viral post where he's like, I need to get off blue sky because you people have gone insane.

00:27:39.000 When the leftists who are insane call the other leftists even more insane, we got a problem.

00:27:44.000 But genuinely, if you're a member of the Discord community, maybe we will put together a project where we start compiling as many of these posts celebrating, encouraging, or engaging in violence.

00:27:53.000 And then we make that coffee table book.

00:27:55.000 And then, you know, people can buy it for a decent price, put it under coffee table, and then they can show their liberal friends who don't believe them.

00:28:01.000 It's a great idea.

00:28:02.000 Clean out every forest in America to get paper.

00:28:05.000 One book.

00:28:06.000 Just for the proof of concept, we would have to like one book.

00:28:08.000 Amazon would be gone.

00:28:10.000 The point you bring up about Will Stansel is actually, I mean, it's crazy because this is an argument that Peterson was making 12, 13 years ago.

00:28:18.000 You know, I forget who it was that kind of stabbed him in the back, but he had a public Twitter exchange with him.

00:28:24.000 And he was like, look, they're going to do it to you.

00:28:27.000 They always do it to you.

00:28:28.000 They always eat their own.

00:28:30.000 And Will Stansel has been, you know, a very, very far left kind of dude for a long time.

00:28:36.000 And now, because I'm not even sure that he's did anything actually significantly bad, they just in Minneapolis decided that he wasn't pure enough and they started going after him.

00:28:48.000 And then once blood is in the water, then it's over.

00:28:51.000 Yeah.

00:28:52.000 Then it's over.

00:28:52.000 I mean, you remember in the last administration, the greatest threats to America were like practicing Catholics and white nationalists that are roaming the streets.

00:29:03.000 Declared war on chuds. 1.00

00:29:04.000 I was like, hey, But I mean, to your point, though, that was something that the administration itself said.

00:29:11.000 The greatest threat to America is white male, young white males, straight white males, which is totally ridiculous.

00:29:17.000 Blood red backdrop, and he's like MAGA extremists or the number one threat to America.

00:29:21.000 That was a declaration of war, by the way.

00:29:23.000 The MAGA extremists.

00:29:24.000 The most dangerous people are out there are actually the white liberal women, white wine resistor moms that are out there just because the white wine makes you more bubbly, right? 1.00

00:29:37.000 And you're like, you know what I was saying before the show is that the right has testosterone, but not too much.

00:29:37.000 Yeah.

00:29:43.000 But the left has a ton of estrogen.

00:29:45.000 And, you know, it's funny because people often say, like, oh, testosterone makes you want to fight.

00:29:49.000 Yeah, but estrogen makes you crazy.

00:29:51.000 Yeah.

00:29:52.000 And so the left is like, and they're like punching and screaming.

00:29:55.000 And the right has like a moderate amount of testosterone.

00:29:58.000 They're like, well, I don't want to get into a fight with you.

00:30:00.000 The right, the right needs just like to crank up the tea by like 2x. 0.91

00:30:06.000 Just get to the point where your heart gives out at 60.

00:30:09.000 But then the guys are going to be like, shut up.

00:30:10.000 Just a little bit of trend ballone.

00:30:13.000 Get everybody on TRT.

00:30:16.000 I mean, TRT is not quite what I'm thinking.

00:30:18.000 I'm thinking something with a little more octane.

00:30:20.000 Tremboloni sandwich.

00:30:22.000 Trembalone sandwich.

00:30:22.000 Trembolone.

00:30:23.000 Yeah.

00:30:24.000 Get some D-balls flying around there. 1.00

00:30:26.000 If you can hear me, please.

00:30:28.000 Yeah.

00:30:28.000 Like, come on, FDA.

00:30:30.000 Like, you know.

00:30:30.000 Started putting Trembalone in the water.

00:30:33.000 It's way better than fluoride.

00:30:35.000 It's way better than fluoride.

00:30:37.000 But I mean, you know, the way that the left behaves, like at the very least, you can now clearly see that the left is a problem in the U.S.

00:30:46.000 And it's completely undeniable now.

00:30:49.000 You know, the violent attacks, you don't see a lot of right-wingers doing making, you know, doing violent attacks to other people.

00:30:58.000 Like they're just not engaging it.

00:31:00.000 And to the point we were making earlier today, like a lot of the reason why right-wingers don't fight back is because they have something to lose.

00:31:06.000 We talked about this.

00:31:07.000 The left, you know, they don't have anything to lose.

00:31:10.000 Let me pull this up.

00:31:11.000 We have this post from Graham Linehan, who is highlighting a post from this far lefty named Will Stancil, who has realized the left is insane.

00:31:19.000 So let me just give you the quick gist.

00:31:21.000 A leftist has realized that Blue Sky is full of crazier leftists than him, and he doesn't want to play this game anymore.

00:31:27.000 Graham says, so funny, a bunch of people who knew they'd soon be answering tough questions on child experimentation, trans violence, et cetera, all left X for another site, which they promptly turned into such a woke nightmare that even Will Stancil can't take it.

00:31:41.000 He said on Blue Sky, man, every day I wonder if I shouldn't just delete my account on here, maybe.

00:31:46.000 Opening Blue Sky makes me want to actually walk in front of a truck.

00:31:50.000 I don't think people on here understand how crazy they've gotten.

00:31:53.000 It's this endless feedback loop of self-radicalization built around some of the most toxic personalities I've ever encountered.

00:31:59.000 It would be nice to talk about politics without being in a blizzard of seething hatred and abuse all the time.

00:32:04.000 That's what I've been saying.

00:32:05.000 And then he says they're largely blocked, but it doesn't matter because we share a social space and many of them have tens of thousands of followers and their absolute derangement is making the social space intolerable.

00:32:15.000 I love that this leftist who does exactly what he's describing to the rest of us is now experiencing exactly what he does to him.

00:32:24.000 Yeah.

00:32:24.000 It's just beautiful.

00:32:25.000 It's an ironic kind of day, isn't it?

00:32:27.000 Yeah.

00:32:27.000 Just lots of irony milling about.

00:32:32.000 I wish we could, and someday it'll all kind of be out there, but the amount of threats that Republican congressmen get, death threats, death threats on a daily basis is staggering the number.

00:32:46.000 I mean, it is unbelievable.

00:32:48.000 And of course, you got to look at all of these because you don't know if somebody's saying something on the internet and then it becomes a reality, right?

00:32:54.000 And many times that's, they'll post something and then something happens, right?

00:33:00.000 And we've had not just me, many people, many, many members, Republicans, people showing up at their house, this, that, threatening their families, showing up to schools, all of this stuff.

00:33:10.000 I mean, there is no line.

00:33:12.000 There is no line for the Democrats.

00:33:13.000 They are going to find you wherever you are, and they're going to threaten you and perhaps even inflict violence on you because you do not agree with them.

00:33:21.000 Well, they were green lit at every step of the way.

00:33:23.000 Like, I mean, you saw like 2016 at the campuses when the Ben Shapiro, Milo would turn up and they would literally be flooded, firebombed, et cetera, total impunity.

00:33:31.000 I mean, even saw during COVID, like everyone always forgets this.

00:33:33.000 Tucker Carlson's house got like sieged by like a ton of leftist protests.

00:33:37.000 And they cracked the door.

00:33:38.000 Scottish guy.

00:33:38.000 No one ever talks about it.

00:33:40.000 There were a bunch of people that were going outside of the people in Scottish.

00:33:42.000 They're trying to bust the door down.

00:33:43.000 Yeah.

00:33:44.000 And it's good that you mentioned the, you know, the Ben Shapiro and the Miley Napoulos stuff.

00:33:50.000 Like there, there were so many arguments online because that was when punch a Nazi kind of came back into the common phrase.

00:33:58.000 And the arguments that were being made, it was like, look, and this is an argument I made to people that were in the music industry.

00:34:04.000 I'm like, look, you can't say that.

00:34:06.000 Like, you can't punch a Nazi.

00:34:08.000 Like, that's only going to lead to more violence.

00:34:12.000 It's going to lead to more actual Nazis. 0.90

00:34:14.000 It's going to lead to more violence.

00:34:15.000 It's going to escalate everything.

00:34:16.000 And now, like, you know, this year there was Charlie Kirk.

00:34:19.000 There was two attempts.

00:34:21.000 Last year, there was Charlie Kirk.

00:34:22.000 There were two attempts on Donald Trump's life.

00:34:24.000 Prior to that, like, this is the fruition of the predictions made in 2016, 2010.

00:34:30.000 And someone shot at this property two months ago.

00:34:34.000 They're going to Riley's house.

00:34:35.000 They're making threats on Congress.

00:34:37.000 Like, this doesn't get better by saying, no, we should punch a Nazi and a Chud guy, you know, making sure it's about it. 1.00

00:34:43.000 They're still glorifying it.

00:34:44.000 He's not a Chud. 1.00

00:34:46.000 Okay.

00:34:46.000 As a proud Chud, disavow.

00:34:49.000 Whatever you want to call him.

00:34:50.000 The point being, like, academic term, yeah.

00:34:53.000 He wasn't a wholesome Chungus. 1.00

00:34:55.000 Intellectual term we like to use.

00:34:56.000 Yeah.

00:34:57.000 But the point remains, like, you know, with the intellectual of Luigi Miangioni, like, this is just going to make more violence.

00:35:05.000 And this is why Tim and I say, it's like, where's the off-ramp?

00:35:09.000 How do you diffuse this stuff?

00:35:11.000 And I don't see a way to do it.

00:35:12.000 Well, look, one of their guys back in the day said by any means necessary.

00:35:16.000 Yeah.

00:35:17.000 I mean, they say it was an organization.

00:35:18.000 Yeah.

00:35:19.000 Also, the punch and that's the crazy because then they would post pictures of like the guys storming Normandy and they were like, this is what an anti-fascist looked like.

00:35:27.000 And then if you regurgitate the average political beliefs of a World War II infantryman, and they call you a Nazi.

00:35:33.000 Well, that was the Freedom Tunes, one of Seamus' biggest cartoons, where the woke bring World War II soldiers to the future to help them fight the Nazis.

00:35:41.000 And then the World War II soldiers are like, wait a minute, you're doing what?

00:35:45.000 When they realize that the left is actually trying to do it, the bear of New York City's name is what?

00:35:48.000 Yeah.

00:35:49.000 Well, you heard the call to prayer in New York, right?

00:35:51.000 Yeah.

00:35:51.000 People are getting freaked out.

00:35:53.000 I want to throw this in the mix real quick and give a shout out to the left for becoming QAnon.

00:35:57.000 Ellen Barkin, she's a prominent lefty. 0.70

00:36:00.000 She's from like, she's like a TV show producer or something like that.

00:36:03.000 She said, the number of people in this administration connected to Jeffrey Epson is stupefying.

00:36:07.000 It is correct to say we are a country run by a cabal of real-life pedophiles and sex traffickers whose crimes are more horrendous than we can imagine.

00:36:14.000 How much more can we take?

00:36:15.000 Lady, like 10 years ago, all these Trump supporters were screaming exactly what you were saying.

00:36:21.000 And I'd be willing to bet you can go through her timeline and find a bunch of tweets where she's claiming this exact thing is not true.

00:36:27.000 So my point here is not to bring up the Epstein stuff in this context.

00:36:30.000 It's to point out that the left has become the right.

00:36:33.000 They're claiming the election was stolen.

00:36:35.000 Have you guys seen these viral conspiracy subreddits and forums that exist?

00:36:41.000 I brought them up quite a bit.

00:36:42.000 I'll try and pull one up again.

00:36:43.000 But they're basically saying that Elon admitted to stealing the election.

00:36:47.000 He rigged the servers.

00:36:48.000 You starlink satellites.

00:36:50.000 That's right.

00:36:51.000 You starlink satellites.

00:36:53.000 They're using Cato Institute lines to attack tariffs.

00:36:56.000 Now that Trump is pro-tariff, now they're like, free trade is like a vital horror thing.

00:37:02.000 What's going on?

00:37:03.000 Who are you, people?

00:37:05.000 I was critical of tariffs.

00:37:06.000 I have a background.

00:37:08.000 I was in being a libertarian kind of dude, right?

00:37:10.000 Like, and I'm not a libertarian anymore.

00:37:13.000 And one of the reasons is a lot of the things that you kind of assumed were true as a libertarian, they seem to not be, right?

00:37:20.000 Like, I mean, I understand if you're a bear long enough, bad things are going to happen.

00:37:23.000 But like, if you, if, if you look at the, the, the tariffs, like, they, it has not panned out the way all the libertarians and the Cato Institute and all these people said.

00:37:31.000 And I'm, I, I'll be the first person to admit I was wrong.

00:37:34.000 I was, I was like, I've said, you know, on the show, I was like, I don't think tariffs are probably a good idea.

00:37:38.000 You know, I'm not an economist, but like, obviously, because I was wrong about it, you know, but then again, there were so many people that are libertarians that are like swearing up and down.

00:37:46.000 You know, the tariffs are going to do this, the tariffs are going to do that.

00:37:48.000 Well, if you say the tariffs are going to do, if you say bad thing is going to happen long enough, the bad thing will happen.

00:37:52.000 And then you can be like, oh, look, see, I was right.

00:37:54.000 A bad thing happened.

00:37:55.000 Yeah, they're literally like recycling like Newt Gingrich talking points on like tariffs.

00:37:58.000 That's crazy.

00:37:59.000 You know, to be fair, how many people, publicly facing or otherwise, would just say what Phil just said, hey, I was wrong.

00:38:06.000 Actually, this worked.

00:38:08.000 Basically, nobody.

00:38:10.000 Which is too much.

00:38:11.000 I haven't looked at the chat's talking about how stupid I am.

00:38:15.000 But no, I mean, to your credit, I mean, that's now me, obviously, being a West Virginian, we are very pro-tariff.

00:38:23.000 Like, this is something that we have watched globalization destroy us over the last several decades from NAFTA and so on and so forth.

00:38:30.000 I mean, it has happened where steel mills just shutting down, our job shipped overseas.

00:38:35.000 So for me, I was, you know, two feet in.

00:38:38.000 First, one of the first bills I introduced was a reciprocal tariff bill.

00:38:41.000 That's something that I feel really strongly about.

00:38:44.000 But at the end of the day, yes, balanced trade is a good thing.

00:38:49.000 It is a good thing to have balanced trade.

00:38:51.000 And we have the ability to balance it and to reinvigorate manufacturing in the United States.

00:38:58.000 It actually evens the playing field for our manufacturers because that cheap, cheap product from China now has to compete at the same price point as our manufacturers.

00:39:09.000 And the consumer, which they have said, oh, this is going to get passed down to the consumer.

00:39:12.000 It's a tax on them.

00:39:14.000 They're willing to eat it to be able to participate in the greatest consumer market on the face of the planet.

00:39:18.000 There was a like a leftist substack where they were arguing that tariffs uniquely punish POCs and that's why we should be opposed to that.

00:39:24.000 Well, that's true, I guess.

00:39:26.000 But there was this video that I did a comment on for the Tim Pool show this morning, which is a guy claiming he's explaining why MAGA is a cult.

00:39:34.000 And NID basically says that they're not driven by facts or policy.

00:39:38.000 They're driven by revenge.

00:39:40.000 And it's clearly wrong because anybody who tracks the polling data knows that Trump only won through a coalition, which included libertarians and moderates who two to one lean right, or at least did a year ago.

00:39:51.000 And now things are kind of changing.

00:39:52.000 You can see this in the comedic podcast space.

00:39:54.000 They're kind of getting salty.

00:39:56.000 But I digress.

00:39:59.000 The point that I bring up, the reason why I bring this up is that there's reasons why I supported Donald Trump and I voted for him.

00:40:03.000 And tariffs are one of the biggest issues.

00:40:06.000 And all these libs come out as academic experts on the issue of tariffs now, having never cared about this in the past.

00:40:12.000 But I can tell you exactly why it mattered to me and skateboarding.

00:40:15.000 So here's the way a skateboard's made.

00:40:18.000 They get some lumber from either the Pacific Northwest or Canada.

00:40:22.000 It's a North American rock maple, either Canadian or American.

00:40:25.000 Send it to China, where a Chinese laborer will make these boards for pennies in the dollar, and then send it back to the U.S. That's actually a waste of energy. 0.99

00:40:34.000 But because a Chinese peasant is willing to work for a cheaper rate than an American, we don't make skateboards here anymore. 1.00

00:40:41.000 And over the last 15 years, the skateboard industry has collapsed because there's no more skate industry.

00:40:47.000 We don't make skateboards.

00:40:49.000 If you don't make skateboards, there's no skateboarding jobs.

00:40:52.000 So how are you going to sponsor a professional skateboarder if there's no company making skateboards that needs to advertise that they make skateboards because they're all made in China? 0.92

00:40:59.000 So right now in Southeast Asia, skateboarding is bigger than ever.

00:41:04.000 They're opening skate parks in theme parks.

00:41:07.000 That's how popular it is.

00:41:08.000 And there's too many people.

00:41:10.000 It's miserable, actually.

00:41:11.000 I wouldn't want to go.

00:41:13.000 I'd show up and there's kids sitting everywhere playing.

00:41:15.000 That's how popular it is in the United States.

00:41:17.000 It is gone.

00:41:18.000 So when Trump says we are going to tariff China and China says we're going to tariff back, I'm laughing.

00:41:24.000 You know why?

00:41:24.000 Because what happens then is we tear down a tree in the United States, send it to China who says tariff on that lumber to their factories.

00:41:33.000 So now that lumber is going up by 100%.

00:41:36.000 Then they make a skateboard, send it to the U.S., and the U.S. says tariff on that skateboard.

00:41:40.000 It turns a Chinese-made skateboard from $35 upwards of $100 a board.

00:41:47.000 The American-made boards that we sell at Boone's HQ are $35 boards.

00:41:51.000 And then we sell them for $55 because a portion goes to the rider, a portion goes to cover general administrative costs.

00:41:56.000 And then we have our profit margin, which is relatively low.

00:41:59.000 But if you start tariffing China, we stop having to compete with peasants in third world countries and we can bring our culture industries back. 0.89

00:42:09.000 Yeah, look, this is the only workforce on the face of the planet that has to compete with every worker in the world in their own country.

00:42:15.000 Yeah, literally.

00:42:15.000 I mean, like, that's we are the only ones.

00:42:19.000 And so, and of course, there's a national security component to this that I've been really hot on: is that if we don't have internalized supply chains and we're not able to make things here in the United States, that will be a problem down the road.

00:42:34.000 You look at World War II, where we turned, you know, Singer-Sewing Company and that started making gun parts and IBM and everybody else into the war effort, right?

00:42:44.000 There is a point, there's a deterrent factor to having an industrial base, not talking about defense industrial, an industrial base that can deter adversaries because their capacity to outbuild them.

00:42:55.000 That's why Andrew's got such a great idea, the defense company, right?

00:42:58.000 Oh, yeah.

00:42:59.000 They want to build like modern weapons, but they want to use existing parts and technology.

00:43:04.000 So that way, if something goes, like if they need to make a thousand of them, they don't have to have all this special manufacturing for it.

00:43:11.000 They can go, it's the defense industry kind of idea of like run down to Radio Shack.

00:43:18.000 And I'm aging, dating myself there, but to be able to buy the parts you need right there available in the market already.

00:43:24.000 And the whole tariff conversation was just like people were arguing past each other.

00:43:27.000 I was arguing with this libertarian guy, and I was talking, I was talking about, yeah, I know, and I was talking about the tariffs, and I was like, no, we need tariffs, we need to protect our industry against like getting undercut by like, I use Bengalis as Banglash as a specific example. 1.00

00:43:41.000 And he's like, okay, well, if you introduce tariffs to keep the manufacturing sector in America stimulated, you need to bring in more migrants. 1.00

00:43:46.000 And I was like, I don't think you understand.

00:43:48.000 I'm making the argument that I don't want to compete against people from Bangladesh for money and labor and all these things. 1.00

00:43:53.000 And it's just like he doesn't understand.

00:43:55.000 Like he's just like economy brained.

00:43:56.000 And I'm like, we're a country.

00:43:57.000 We're a nation.

00:43:58.000 We need to take this.

00:43:58.000 It's graph go up.

00:43:59.000 Now, I do want to defend libertarians a little bit and give them a shout out because as much as I can disagree on where the policy goes, I respect that we always agree on the facts.

00:44:08.000 That I know that the libertarians can come on the show and we'll agree, like, here's base reality.

00:44:13.000 Now let's argue how it should go after this.

00:44:16.000 And we disagree, so I'll make fun of them, but it's okay because we're friends.

00:44:19.000 But let's do this.

00:44:20.000 Let's jump to this next story from WHRO, Supreme Court of Virginia Greenlights redistricting referendum.

00:44:27.000 To put it simply, they're eradicating four Republican seats, I believe four, right?

00:44:32.000 From the state of Virginia.

00:44:33.000 All in all, this is going to, oh, you know what?

00:44:36.000 Let me just stop and say this.

00:44:37.000 The conversation is over.

00:44:40.000 With the redistricting effort that we are seeing across the country, there are no longer going to be swing districts.

00:44:46.000 It's going to be Democrat districts and Republican districts, and winning as the opposition party, not going to happen.

00:44:52.000 Now, the scary thing is, this means the conversation has ended because there's no more political debate.

00:44:58.000 The Democrat in the district can say to the Republicans, Nana, you can't win no matter what you do.

00:45:02.000 I don't have to pander to you anymore.

00:45:04.000 This means in these districts where they might try and be moderate and say, no, no, we're not going to be in favor of insert far-left policy or insert far-right policy.

00:45:11.000 Now they're going to be like, far-left it is, because I'm in a primary and I got to beat this other Democrat, not a Republican.

00:45:18.000 So that means at the federal level, what are we going to see?

00:45:21.000 You combine this with geographic hyperpolarization.

00:45:24.000 That is, people are leaving.

00:45:26.000 Conservative-leaning individuals have left California and New York, which means those districts, so California, New York, are going to lose congressional seats.

00:45:34.000 Good thing.

00:45:35.000 However, it means the remaining districts with less moderate and conservative voices, the primaries are going to be socialist.

00:45:42.000 So typically the primary is around the range in the party from the moderate Democrat to the far left.

00:45:49.000 And you've got to kind of pander in between because there's going to be New York moderate Democrats who are going to be like, I don't know about that child sex change stuff.

00:45:55.000 Well, those moderates have left because of the insanity of New York.

00:45:58.000 And now this is shifting the overton window of the Democratic Party.

00:46:02.000 So now you're going to have, okay, sex changes for minors after 12, but, you know, not before, and then sex changes for minors at any age.

00:46:10.000 That's going to be the new argument.

00:46:12.000 So at the federal level, you are going to have extremely far left.

00:46:16.000 And I said, there's not going to be any far right.

00:46:19.000 It's going to be like moderate, slow down their Democrat types because conservatives are still, even in deep red places, not functioning all that well.

00:46:28.000 Yeah.

00:46:28.000 Like the deeper the red, like the worse the GOP actually is.

00:46:31.000 Like South Carolina is like some of the worst politicians in the country.

00:46:34.000 And that's like a ruby red state.

00:46:36.000 I'll put it like this: the Republican Party is not a unified cult like the Democratic Party largely is.

00:46:42.000 Now, don't get me wrong, they eat each other alive all the time.

00:46:44.000 But I would describe the right as a coalition of various right-leaning to moderate ideologies.

00:46:50.000 And the left is a murmuration.

00:46:51.000 Right.

00:46:52.000 They don't really have a leader.

00:46:53.000 They're floating around randomly, but they still follow the pack.

00:46:55.000 Well, and also like a big problem is on the right are activist base mixed podcasts where on the left, the activist base lives kills people.

00:47:02.000 They either kill people or they get involved in like their like their like state or even county uh Democrat Party.

00:47:08.000 Like, for example, in California, if you look at Berkeley and you go, like New York Times always puts out like the precinct by precinct voting map, there's precincts in Berkeley, California, probably other places, but I saw in Berkeley where the Green Party outperformed the Democrat Party.

00:47:20.000 So it's like the activist base in the Democrat Party is very involved in the way things go.

00:47:25.000 And if they don't get their way, they'll literally just go and vote for the Green Party in like these deepest red places. 0.51

00:47:29.000 Where in the Republican Party, people just get like demoralized and just step away from the table entirely.

00:47:34.000 So the one thing that, and this will shift it even more, right, left Voting Rights Act.

00:47:42.000 So when the Voting Rights Act gets, and I believe it'll be struck down, those blue seats that are there just by the nature of we have to carve out a minority district in southern states due to the voting rights act.

00:47:56.000 Once that gets struck down, all those seats, I mean, look, you got Democrat, Democrats hold seats in Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina.

00:48:04.000 I mean, all these types of places because you have to carve out these districts.

00:48:08.000 The South will just be solidly red.

00:48:10.000 There will not be one Democrat seat left.

00:48:12.000 Now, for us, that's good news.

00:48:15.000 But then we have states like Indiana who they're letting us all down.

00:48:21.000 I mean, it's just a total failure.

00:48:23.000 They're not stepping up to this.

00:48:25.000 And for some reason, I guess they think this is a game, but the Democrats, they are not playing.

00:48:31.000 They're not playing on this.

00:48:32.000 In California, there are 53 seats in California.

00:48:35.000 We will be lucky if we have four or five left after these elections.

00:48:40.000 So the projection is Democrats are going to win not by an election, but by just cutting out Republican districts.

00:48:47.000 It's not exaggerating.

00:48:48.000 The projection for the 2026 midterm election is that Democrats will be up by, I think it's like five seats by sheer brute force, not by the actual election results.

00:48:59.000 So again, I'll stress, after redistricting is over, you will see solid blue with some, with some strong blue, solid red with some strong red, meaning there's no swing districts and Democrats outnumber Republicans.

00:49:12.000 There's not going to be a conversation.

00:49:14.000 Yeah, I'm just, I think the Voting Rights Act would go the right way for us, but it won't happen before the actual 2026 elections.

00:49:21.000 They got a rule by July 1, but that's passed primaries for a lot of states, so that won't matter.

00:49:26.000 This 10-1 map, look, there's one last chance to stop it.

00:49:30.000 If you live in Virginia, there's a referendum that's going to go out.

00:49:34.000 Please vote against this referendum.

00:49:36.000 The Supreme Court in the state of Virginia has green lit this.

00:49:40.000 So the referendum is going to happen.

00:49:43.000 Vote for your rights.

00:49:44.000 Vote for your country.

00:49:45.000 Vote for your freedom.

00:49:47.000 Go out and get everybody you know to vote to stop this referendum.

00:49:52.000 Virginia is a great example for what their plans are for the country because that's a state that's like, what, at best, what, 53, 47 probably?

00:49:58.000 Oh, yeah, it's close.

00:49:59.000 And so it's like, you know, you see California, New York, it's like, that's what they can do with a razor-thin majority with the entire country if they are to get back in power.

00:50:06.000 We just got to make D.C. square again.

00:50:08.000 Totally.

00:50:09.000 Yes.

00:50:10.000 I am actually for that.

00:50:13.000 You know, that was the original intent for the District of Columbia.

00:50:17.000 That's the way it was designed until Virginia took that land back.

00:50:19.000 Give them Arlington and portions of Alexandria back to the District of Columbia.

00:50:24.000 And that's the way the city was designed.

00:50:26.000 People aren't supposed to be living in D.C. this way.

00:50:29.000 Yep.

00:50:30.000 It's supposed to be a federal district for the administration of a union.

00:50:33.000 Correct.

00:50:34.000 But it's become a city-state.

00:50:36.000 And now they want statehood, or the liberals want to get statehood.

00:50:39.000 They want to give it senators. 0.99

00:50:40.000 And that defies the function of a federal district.

00:50:43.000 Yep.

00:50:44.000 I know.

00:50:44.000 I'm just like, okay, lop it off back to Maryland.

00:50:46.000 Then you get your representation.

00:50:47.000 It's like, no, no, no.

00:50:47.000 It has to be.

00:50:48.000 They have their own unique culture in D.C.

00:50:50.000 It's not talking about people.

00:50:54.000 Would you say a unique culture votes 94%?

00:50:59.000 94% of them, something like that, 90 plus percent voted for Kamala Harris.

00:51:03.000 Yeah.

00:51:03.000 Right.

00:51:03.000 I mean, so that's that is not a unique and diverse culture of thoughts and opinions.

00:51:08.000 We have this unique cultural tradition.

00:51:10.000 It's like a carjacking.

00:51:11.000 It's a really.

00:51:13.000 You're talking about South Africa?

00:51:14.000 Yeah, might as well be at this point.

00:51:16.000 Geez.

00:51:17.000 Yeah, no, it's totally ridiculous.

00:51:18.000 But yeah, make D.C. square again.

00:51:19.000 And then we have more room to build more arc to Trumps, too.

00:51:22.000 Like, there's a there's a yeah, there you go.

00:51:25.000 I've seen every time I go to a roundabout now and I see a green space, I just see an arc every single time with Trump's face just right in the middle looking at you.

00:51:32.000 Yeah, you know, because the proposals came out, and one is like really gaudy with like gold all over it.

00:51:36.000 I'm like, I want that one, I want that one actually.

00:51:38.000 But that's his style.

00:51:39.000 That's all about the gold for generations.

00:51:42.000 Everyone will see it and they'll be like, oh, Trump built that.

00:51:44.000 Oh, yeah.

00:51:45.000 Because all the other arches, they could pass it off in 100 years.

00:51:47.000 Like, I know I built that.

00:51:49.000 No, we need like gold, laser, fog machine, everything.

00:51:53.000 I've been saying this for the past couple of weeks.

00:51:54.000 Trump is not Lincoln.

00:51:55.000 Trump is Buchanan.

00:51:57.000 And someone else tweeted this.

00:51:59.000 Who was it?

00:52:00.000 Was it Barris or Russ Musson?

00:52:02.000 I can't remember who tweeted it.

00:52:04.000 They tweeted, What would Abraham Lincoln do about voter fraud?

00:52:10.000 What would Buchanan have done about voter fraud?

00:52:12.000 And that's kind of the point I think a lot of people are seeing.

00:52:16.000 Right now, we are in a state of crisis in this country, undeniably.

00:52:20.000 This redistricting effort is the end of the congressional conversation.

00:52:23.000 It's supposed to be, I mean, it's not even supposed to be this two-party system, but that was bad enough.

00:52:27.000 Now we're getting uniparty.

00:52:29.000 And when you have a federal Congress where the left is unified and the right is a permanent minority, you are going to have effective no representation.

00:52:39.000 Well, this means people are eventually going to say, I'm not going to let you open the border to 30 million more people.

00:52:45.000 And so if you can't speak, then what do people do?

00:52:48.000 Bad things.

00:52:49.000 Now, the question is: while all this really bad stuff is happening, what do you think Abraham Lincoln would have done?

00:52:55.000 We don't need to question because we watched what he did before he got into office.

00:52:59.000 Abraham Lincoln got elected, and the initial inauguration was in March back in the day.

00:53:04.000 And in this interim period, seven states seceded from the union.

00:53:09.000 The moment Homeboy gets in, he's like, rally the troops.

00:53:12.000 We're shutting this down.

00:53:14.000 Buchanan tried appeasement, negotiations, compromise, and slow rolls, and it didn't work.

00:53:19.000 And it led to the crisis.

00:53:21.000 So I don't see Donald Trump as a Lincoln figure.

00:53:23.000 I see him as a Buchanan figure.

00:53:24.000 He is trying to play politics.

00:53:26.000 He is taking a soft touch.

00:53:28.000 He is pulling out of Minnesota.

00:53:30.000 And I don't necessarily disagree with that, but he is making the much lighter and weaker moves that are not actually dealing with the issues.

00:53:37.000 And I think what we've seen already is that you can just do things.

00:53:42.000 The Democrats certainly have for a long time, and they don't care what's true.

00:53:47.000 So again, I made reference to this video earlier in the day that I commented on where a guy says MAGA's occult.

00:53:52.000 And he said, it's because federal agents killed two people and they make excuses for it.

00:53:57.000 It's like, well, I can give you all the reasons in the world why people on the right and moderates have argued whether or not there was a justification for the shooting of Alex Predi or of Renee Good.

00:54:06.000 Not that the entirety of the right is celebrating it, but the issue is that Democrats arrested Trump's lawyers.

00:54:12.000 Yeah.

00:54:13.000 Okay.

00:54:13.000 I want to make sure everyone understands this because I know you do, but the liberals don't know the facts.

00:54:17.000 They don't understand what's going on in the world.

00:54:19.000 Democrats had Trump's legal counsel arrested for simply being his legal counsel under the argument that providing legal counsel to Trump was a criminal conspiracy, despite the fact it is constitutionally protected.

00:54:33.000 Any criminal can hire a lawyer to give him advice on what he can or can't do.

00:54:37.000 And the left argued to me on the Culture War show, or a leftist did, a liberal, that, well, she was advising on crimes.

00:54:45.000 When you are running a business and you don't know if you're allowed to do certain things, like let's take a call she, for instance, is it insider trading, right?

00:54:54.000 If I call my lawyer and say, is it insider trading if I make a trade on something that I know the results to because I know someone in Congress, let's say they go, well, if you're not involved in the trade and the information from this member of Congress is in any way public, not necessarily widespread, you're good.

00:55:11.000 Then I go, okay, so make the trade, right?

00:55:13.000 Then the next administration says, you're under arrest.

00:55:17.000 They arrest my lawyer for giving me advice on what they deemed later was criminal because the lawyer, that's the level of psychotic behavior we are getting from the left.

00:55:25.000 So I stress this: Donald Trump is staring down the barrel of Democrats that don't care what's true and a voter base that doesn't know what's going on.

00:55:36.000 You try to placate that, you lose.

00:55:38.000 I'm not going to pretend to have good advice for Trump or for the right for the most part.

00:55:42.000 I can certainly give some advice.

00:55:44.000 I don't know, and I'm going to pretend to know what's going on behind the scenes.

00:55:46.000 But oh boy, let's just get ready for 2028, or I should say for 2020, at the end of 2026 to 2028, Democrats are going to have Congress and they're going to fire off subpoenas at full auto and they're going to start locking up Trump supporters through bogus lying to Congress and contempt of Congress charges like they already did before.

00:56:07.000 Yeah, they've done that before.

00:56:08.000 Remember, Peter Navarro went to prison.

00:56:10.000 That's right.

00:56:10.000 Yep.

00:56:11.000 Peter Navarro went to prison, worked in the White House.

00:56:13.000 I mean, they will lock our folks up.

00:56:15.000 And, you know, look, I'm stay a little more optimistic, obviously, that in hopes that we can retain and keep the House.

00:56:24.000 I think maybe in the second quarter of this year, moving into the third quarter, we'll have some economic numbers and people can actually feel it that things are moving in the right direction.

00:56:33.000 Hopefully, it could help us, but it does not look good right now.

00:56:36.000 But particularly with the redistricting going on and all this, it doesn't look good.

00:56:41.000 But, you know, in all fairness, Riley, it's easy for you to be optimistic.

00:56:45.000 West Virginia is mountainous and highly defensible.

00:56:47.000 Right.

00:56:48.000 This is true.

00:56:49.000 This is very true.

00:56:50.000 We got great state laws here.

00:56:52.000 But the reason why, despite being an East Coast state, it's not very densely populated is because of the mountains.

00:57:00.000 It's very difficult to, in the early days, to get materials through the mountains, through the hills.

00:57:06.000 And so only the toughest, I don't mean this to kind of blow smoke up West Virginia's ass, but it's true.

00:57:10.000 Only the most hardened individuals who could survive these conditions and carry supplies actually ended up settling in this area.

00:57:16.000 So even to this day, it's not very densely populated because of how difficult it was.

00:57:20.000 At the same time, it's also the safest place in terms of natural disasters and war, or I should say at least one of in the United States.

00:57:29.000 There's a variety of questions about what kind of war you'd face.

00:57:31.000 But in the event of like ground invasion, mountainous, difficult to navigate, highly defensible for the people who live there.

00:57:39.000 In terms of flooding and natural disasters, I'll throw it to our storm weather friend Ben Davidson, who shows the when if the great flood happens, West Virginia is the only place in the United States like not swept up.

00:57:52.000 So even when you get to the more like out there theories of like mass floods, West Virginia is okay.

00:57:59.000 Yeah, I think.

00:58:00.000 And everybody's armed to the teeth here.

00:58:02.000 I think the Chamber of Commerce of West Virginia picked it up as a slogan: highly defensible for ground invasion.

00:58:06.000 Highly defensible for ground invasion.

00:58:08.000 Everybody.

00:58:09.000 And look, if you are an actual Republican and real conservative and you live in Virginia, I would invite you to come to Best Virginia.

00:58:16.000 Just leave.

00:58:17.000 It's over.

00:58:18.000 Sorry.

00:58:19.000 We've lost.

00:58:20.000 I don't know if it's just like people tweeting just a tweet, but I see these like proposals of all these bordering counties in Virginia and potentially Maryland of like joining in West Virginia.

00:58:29.000 Well, but Virginia would have to agree to that. 0.98

00:58:31.000 They're never going to agree to that.

00:58:32.000 There is one specific county, actually Frederick County, Virginia, where Winchester is.

00:58:37.000 After the Civil War, these bordering counties got to hold referendums if they wanted to join West Virginia or not.

00:58:43.000 And to this day, Frederick County, Virginia has never held the referendum, and that law is still on the books.

00:58:49.000 If they wanted to, they could still do it.

00:58:50.000 That's Winchester, right?

00:58:51.000 Yep.

00:58:51.000 They definitely got to do that.

00:58:52.000 Isn't Winchester like a separate micro county so they could just join West Virginia and surround Winchester?

00:58:57.000 Well, I mean, look, we'll take the whole thing because we would love to get another congressional district back because it gets us another electoral vote, which helps everybody in the presidential election.

00:59:06.000 The state of West Virginia has sieged Winchester.

00:59:08.000 I mean, yeah, we should go in and take it, right?

00:59:10.000 You know, there's some good restaurants.

00:59:13.000 I mean, I don't see that they put up all that much resistance.

00:59:16.000 Yeah, probably not.

00:59:17.000 Probably, you know, greeted as liberators.

00:59:21.000 Yeah, the old town's nice.

00:59:23.000 I think that's not highly defensible.

00:59:24.000 We can take it.

00:59:25.000 We'll finally get a Costco.

00:59:26.000 Now they have one in Winchester.

00:59:28.000 We want your Costco.

00:59:30.000 Let's jump to this story from the Hungarian conservative.

00:59:34.000 Watch progressive icon Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez completely embarrass herself. 0.64

00:59:38.000 Now, I must stress, I actually am much more excited to talk about Zorhan Mamdani gutting the New York Rainy Day Fund and retirement funds because communism doesn't work, but we'll get there.

00:59:48.000 In the meantime, communist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to be president.

00:59:52.000 So she went to the Munich Security Conference, of which I'm baffled why she went.

00:59:56.000 I got to be honest.

00:59:57.000 AOC, as a member of Congress, and her, is she even on any committee related to security and national defense or anything?

01:00:06.000 No.

01:00:06.000 What is she doing at this conference?

01:00:09.000 I have no idea, except I do.

01:00:11.000 She wants to run for president. 1.00

01:00:12.000 So she needs to start creating an image of herself discussing worldly affairs. 0.97

01:00:17.000 Well, the good news for all of us is, oh boy, oh boy, listen to this.

01:00:21.000 And should the U.S. actually commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan if China were to, you know, I think that this is such a, you know, I think that this is a very long-standing policy of the United States.

01:00:49.000 And I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point.

01:00:56.000 I love this so much.

01:00:58.000 It's like nailed it.

01:00:59.000 It's.

01:00:59.000 It's just like, Mr. President, we are concerned about auto manufacturing in the United States.

01:01:05.000 What can you say to the American people to assure them their jobs are safe?

01:01:08.000 Well, jobs are important to Americans.

01:01:11.000 And a long-standing policy of ours has always been jobs.

01:01:14.000 And everybody knows cars are great, especially when they're car jobs.

01:01:17.000 Now, I believe in America.

01:01:19.000 And America is a great place for people who like cars.

01:01:22.000 Cars are great.

01:01:23.000 And you know what?

01:01:24.000 That's what it really is to be an American, to think about things that you like, because we love America.

01:01:29.000 America is a great place.

01:01:31.000 Thank you.

01:01:31.000 I was actually better, though, because you didn't have like the long pauses in there.

01:01:37.000 You can see her mind working like Taiwan. 0.82

01:01:39.000 Where the hell is that?

01:01:41.000 This is the issue is that I don't think she knows.

01:01:43.000 I'm going to be completely honest.

01:01:44.000 Okay, I was making fun of her, but I'm going to say this in all seriousness.

01:01:47.000 I don't think AOC knows where Taiwan is.

01:01:50.000 I don't think she knows what the conflict is.

01:01:52.000 I think she has a general surface level of there is a policy to protect Taiwan, but she doesn't know enough about it to opine even to like beyond a surface level.

01:02:02.000 And you know what the problem is?

01:02:05.000 Okay, there's a couple of reasons why I'm going to say she's not qualified to be president. 1.00

01:02:09.000 There's actually a plethora, a litany, but I will just say this first and foremost.

01:02:14.000 You need to have an actual answer on this issue pertaining to U.S. intervention in foreign conflict in the Pacific theater.

01:02:21.000 All that's fine.

01:02:22.000 However, I would still, to a certain degree, give a passing grade to a response that was very deferential and non-committal.

01:02:30.000 Like if she had said, with this question, she went, wow, that is a very difficult question.

01:02:36.000 If she just said, what is Aleppo?

01:02:38.000 Well, no, My point is this.

01:02:40.000 That's a fail.

01:02:41.000 Gary Johnson failed.

01:02:42.000 If her response was, that is an incredibly difficult question that I don't feel qualified right now to answer, given the debate is ongoing and I don't have access to national security information pertaining to what that would mean.

01:02:55.000 So it would be ignorant of me to make a claim on the world stage at the Munich Security Conference that I would commit to something without having access to national security information.

01:03:04.000 That's a great answer.

01:03:05.000 I got to point something out here real quick, though.

01:03:08.000 Members in the House, it is a policy when we are in a partial shutdown or a full shutdown are not allowed to travel internationally.

01:03:17.000 That's the rule.

01:03:18.000 I don't know how she paid to get over there. 1.00

01:03:21.000 That will be disclosed later if the U.S. taxpayer paid for her to be there. 0.62

01:03:26.000 That's a potential.

01:03:28.000 Or she paid for it out of her campaign. 0.83

01:03:30.000 But if it was paid for by taxpayer money, that is the policy of the House.

01:03:34.000 She's not supposed to be there.

01:03:36.000 We're in a partial shutdown.

01:03:37.000 The Department of Homeland Security is currently unfunded.

01:03:41.000 Yeah, but she's AOC. 1.00

01:03:43.000 She is AOC.

01:03:44.000 She could accidentally shatter the filibuster record if they just ask her a question about geopolitics. 1.00

01:03:50.000 10 hours.

01:03:51.000 You can tell she was like trying to reach in the recesses of her mind to like this canned answer that they had given her, like standing pops like gears with like spider webs on it, like just turning.

01:04:01.000 But she's not leadership material.

01:04:03.000 Well, because here's the point about Gary Johnson I've made a million one times.

01:04:07.000 For those that aren't familiar, Gary Johnson, famously, this was the 2015 cycle, was asked, what would he do about Aleppo?

01:04:12.000 And he goes, and what is Aleppo?

01:04:15.000 The interviewer goes, you're kidding.

01:04:17.000 This is at the height of the Syrian war.

01:04:19.000 Donald Trump is a master statesman for all the right and wrong reasons.

01:04:19.000 Right.

01:04:24.000 The way Trump answers a question about something like this.

01:04:28.000 So I'll throw it to you.

01:04:29.000 Riley, ask me a question, but make up a random word.

01:04:32.000 Say, ask me about something.

01:04:34.000 What do you think about the Johnson rod in your car?

01:04:37.000 Well, you know, I know a lot of people have been talking about Johnson Rod, but it's not something that I'm focused on in the immediate because jobs matter so much more.

01:04:45.000 And, you know, you get into these conversations about Johnson Rotten and the American people say, what the hell are you even talking about?

01:04:50.000 My job, my gas prices.

01:04:52.000 See, that's what Trump does.

01:04:53.000 Oh, yeah.

01:04:54.000 He just pretends like what you're saying doesn't matter.

01:04:56.000 He calls it the weave.

01:04:57.000 Yeah.

01:04:59.000 He's so good at it.

01:05:00.000 He's so good at it.

01:05:01.000 What is Aleppo?

01:05:02.000 He'd be like, what will we do with Aleppo?

01:05:04.000 What wouldn't we do with Aleppo? 1.00

01:05:06.000 His literal response would be like, look, I know everybody's asking about Aleppo.

01:05:10.000 And of course, when we get in there, we'll take a look at what's going on.

01:05:13.000 But the American people right now are concerned about jobs and they don't want open borders.

01:05:18.000 They want immigration.

01:05:19.000 They just, you're gone.

01:05:22.000 That answer that she gave will not matter one single bit to the liberals in this country.

01:05:30.000 That does not matter to them.

01:05:31.000 Not only to the liberals, but to the average American either.

01:05:36.000 Nobody wins or loses elections on foreign policy.

01:05:39.000 That's why we have to go to the HungarianConservative.com to get the no, no, no, no.

01:05:43.000 That's not even a joke.

01:05:44.000 When I Google searched this, there's nothing.

01:05:47.000 Yeah.

01:05:48.000 Look, I'm sorry, real quick.

01:05:50.000 The New York Times wrote about it, but it was a defense of AOC where she called the New York Times and said, here's what I want you to publish about my statement.

01:05:58.000 There's no major outlet writing that AOC stuttered on the world stage and gave a non-answer.

01:06:04.000 That's why the Europeans are writing about it.

01:06:05.000 Like, hey, hey, guys, who did you just send over?

01:06:09.000 This is what it's saying.

01:06:09.000 Hey, guys, this is a point that I really need to reaffirm.

01:06:13.000 Like, I catch a lot of hell because I say that AOC is the most dangerous Democrat going right now.

01:06:20.000 She is extremely politically talented.

01:06:22.000 Just like you said, this will not matter in a general election.

01:06:26.000 The American people will not care.

01:06:28.000 She's incredibly charismatic.

01:06:30.000 She knows she's incredibly politically talented. 0.94

01:06:33.000 And all the people that are going to be like, oh, look, she's too dumb to be president, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

01:06:37.000 Even like, I agree that she doesn't have nearly the political chops when it comes to foreign policy or knowing about the economy or knowing about things that are actually important.

01:06:46.000 None of that stuff matters.

01:06:48.000 Everyone that gets elected gets elected on charisma.

01:06:50.000 It is 100% a possibility that she gets elected.

01:06:55.000 And she is the most dangerous Democrat. 1.00

01:06:57.000 And Riley, you were saying earlier.

01:06:58.000 Back me up.

01:06:59.000 She is the most dangerous Democrat out there. 1.00

01:07:01.000 And take this to the bank.

01:07:03.000 If she runs in that Democrat primary, I think she wins.

01:07:06.000 Yeah.

01:07:07.000 I think she wins that primary.

01:07:08.000 She's a fundraising machine.

01:07:10.000 She's raising nearly $10 million a quarter right now as a House member. 1.00

01:07:15.000 And she is personally very engaged.

01:07:17.000 Wait, how much?

01:07:18.000 $10 million a quarter.

01:07:20.000 What?

01:07:21.000 Yeah.

01:07:21.000 She's pulling in $40 million a year.

01:07:25.000 Yeah.

01:07:26.000 What does she do with it? 1.00

01:07:28.000 Banking it.

01:07:29.000 Wow.

01:07:29.000 And she can, there are ways for her to spend it on herself, right?

01:07:32.000 Yeah.

01:07:33.000 Well, and she's building the machine. 1.00

01:07:34.000 She's getting ready.

01:07:35.000 And so she's going to make a decision.

01:07:37.000 Is it Senate?

01:07:38.000 Am I going to take out Chuck Schumer?

01:07:39.000 Am I running for president?

01:07:41.000 Schumer's mind.

01:07:43.000 Schumer's the way to go.

01:07:44.000 President is such a long shot and you miss, you're cooked.

01:07:48.000 But Senate makes a lot of sense because Schumer sucks.

01:07:52.000 She can go for two years.

01:07:53.000 Barack Obama was the junior senator from Illinois.

01:07:56.000 And then he was the president.

01:07:57.000 Well, when Obama got elected to the Senate, he was immediately asked, will you run for president?

01:08:02.000 I remember I was like a teenager and I was watching this and I was like, oh, they were like, now that you've won, will you run for president?

01:08:07.000 They're like, oh, we'll see.

01:08:07.000 And I was like, what?

01:08:09.000 What are you talking about?

01:08:10.000 Same thing will happen with AOC.

01:08:12.000 She will not serve.

01:08:13.000 I mean, maybe she serves two terms, right? 0.75

01:08:16.000 And she gets in.

01:08:17.000 Maybe she serves two terms and she gets to 45 years old. 1.00

01:08:20.000 Yeah.

01:08:21.000 She's in her mid-30s.

01:08:22.000 I just looked and she's like 39, I think.

01:08:25.000 Or no, she's 36 right now.

01:08:27.000 So like just barely eligible.

01:08:29.000 Yeah.

01:08:29.000 You know, and like, so if she were to get into the Senate, because generally it's really, really hard for Congresspeople to win the presidency, but a senator has the gravitas or whatever after spending a little time in the Senate.

01:08:42.000 That is the most likely route for the money.

01:08:44.000 And if she gets to the Senate, the Senate is a very guarded place and she won't be saying goofy things.

01:08:51.000 There won't be that.

01:08:52.000 You know, it's a very guarded place.

01:08:54.000 This is why they can kind of manage reputation a little bit easier over there in the Senate.

01:08:59.000 But she is, I am telling you, personally, she is an engaging person.

01:09:06.000 And to Phil's point, why that is so scary, because it does come down to charisma.

01:09:11.000 And she is a movement.

01:09:13.000 And if you don't believe she's leading that party, remember everybody laughed at the Green New Deal.

01:09:18.000 Ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:09:19.000 And it became the law of the land.

01:09:21.000 People don't even realize that the Inflation Reduction React was just the Green New Deal.

01:09:26.000 Yeah, that's her bill.

01:09:27.000 It's the same bill.

01:09:27.000 Exactly.

01:09:28.000 Everybody was laughing at her.

01:09:29.000 And she literally changed the country for the worst. 1.00

01:09:33.000 I mean, one of the worst pieces of legislation ever passed.

01:09:36.000 She came up with it.

01:09:37.000 Yo.

01:09:39.000 YouTube is running a, it must be under attack.

01:09:43.000 Sorry.

01:09:44.000 It's under attack, right?

01:09:45.000 Are you seeing posts about it?

01:09:46.000 I'm seeing a lot of stuff, especially in the show.

01:09:48.000 So YouTube just now, when I refreshed it, because we're checking because the page has been down, had a CAPTCHA block on google.com, which it looks like YouTube is under a cyber attack.

01:10:02.000 And the point of doing that is to block out bot traffic.

01:10:05.000 Basically, it looks like a DDoS attack.

01:10:07.000 Yeah.

01:10:08.000 What I will say about AOC is Riley, remember when she fabricated that story about January 6th and she claimed that the cop came to her office and she thought she was going to die because of J6 was founder, despite the fact that what she was describing happened an hour before anyone breached the building, which makes you wonder how it is she knew the building was going to be breached.

01:10:26.000 Did she have foreknowledge of January 6th?

01:10:29.000 Who knows?

01:10:30.000 I don't know, but I know this.

01:10:32.000 That story you just told that she told to all of us, everyone believes is true.

01:10:37.000 Like this story of, you know, they were knocking down the door and I was barricaded.

01:10:42.000 That's like knowledge now.

01:10:44.000 That's like a fact.

01:10:45.000 Well, I think on the right, everyone knows she fabricated it because that was a big story.

01:10:48.000 But on the left, they don't know anything.

01:10:50.000 No, but to her.

01:10:50.000 I mean, bro.

01:10:51.000 Remember when Homeboy took the fire alarm thing off the door and then pulled the fire along?

01:10:55.000 He put the emergency out of the door.

01:10:56.000 Yeah, He didn't go to jail.

01:10:59.000 No.

01:11:00.000 And like, you know, Phil's been saying this, I mean, literally for years.

01:11:05.000 He's going to end up being proven right on this.

01:11:07.000 Alexandria is she's a problem. 1.00

01:11:10.000 Yeah, she is the most dangerous person in the in the in DC. 0.99

01:11:15.000 She's the most dangerous Democrat. 1.00

01:11:17.000 Well, because the G like Republicans, conservatives broadly have this problem where like the candidates that we think the Democrats should pick are never actually in line with what the base actually wants in the Democrat Party. 0.53

01:11:26.000 Where like Republicans are always like fixated like on this boogeyman that Michelle Obama is going to like change your mind and like run for president or like Gavin Newsom's this obvious shoe-in for the Democrats.

01:11:35.000 Like the Democrat base wants to go as radical as possible right now.

01:11:38.000 AOC fits that bill perfectly.

01:11:40.000 Like on what planet would they not pull that lever?

01:11:42.000 And they're so angry right now.

01:11:43.000 And don't forget, Bernie is handing over his entire network and operation to her.

01:11:50.000 She is inheriting that.

01:11:51.000 There's a reason the two of them have been out on the road together.

01:11:56.000 Yeah.

01:11:56.000 Well, that's what you saw.

01:11:57.000 You saw that video after Zoron won and he goes and visits Bernie.

01:12:00.000 And it was literally like Obi-Wan and it was like a passing of the torch.

01:12:05.000 Like, great work.

01:12:06.000 I can finally retire now.

01:12:07.000 Like, you're taking because it's like, that's a very real thing.

01:12:09.000 Like, that was like a figurative passing of the torch that we were watching.

01:12:13.000 Oh, yeah.

01:12:13.000 But it's getting even, I mean, they're cranking it up to an 11.

01:12:15.000 Let's talk about the direction this country is going in.

01:12:18.000 We'll start with this video here from our friend Zorhan Mamdani, who has publicly stated he's looting New York City. 0.88

01:12:24.000 Would rather do is ensure that they remain as they are so that the city can be on firm financial footing.

01:12:29.000 However, in order to get to this point of closing the gap on both this fiscal year and the next fiscal year, we are forced to raid the Rainy Day Fund, the Retiree Health Benefits Trust Reserve, and to increase property taxes across these other years.

01:12:45.000 Would rather insane, man.

01:12:49.000 Take a look at this.

01:12:50.000 Here, here, welcome to New York City.

01:12:52.000 We call it San Francisco Jr.

01:12:57.000 Unbelievable.

01:12:58.000 That is feces. 0.99

01:13:02.000 Is filled with shit.

01:13:09.000 Bro, it's been only a couple of months.

01:13:11.000 That's literally an S storm.

01:13:15.000 Man.

01:13:16.000 So we have this, and this Geger Capital guy said, sell morons on taxing the billionaires.

01:13:21.000 Immediately raise property tax on every middle-class family in New York.

01:13:25.000 To which this guy responds: 67% of New York City, New York City residents don't own any property in the city.

01:13:30.000 The notion that this is a tax hike primarily on normal working New Yorkers is an absolute joke.

01:13:34.000 And I want to give a shout out to our good friend Hassan Piker for making me apprised of this because he retweeted it.

01:13:40.000 Because leftists don't understand economics in the slightest.

01:13:43.000 So let me try and explain it to you.

01:13:45.000 89% of residential rentals in New York City are run by businesses, not individual millionaires and billionaires.

01:13:53.000 They're actually companies that maintain and staff these buildings because having a place to live requires fixing plumbing, fixing the heaters, making sure the front door works, cleaning the hallways.

01:14:05.000 This is why they're superintendents.

01:14:07.000 Now, when you raise property taxes on everybody, including some of these businesses, only have like 10 units.

01:14:16.000 They're small businesses that maintain it so that you don't have to pay property taxes, other fees, or often your water bill.

01:14:22.000 Now that they're going to raise the property taxes, one of two things is going to happen.

01:14:26.000 They're simply going to pass that expense off to you and your rents will increase.

01:14:30.000 Knowing Commie New York, however, they're probably going to try and rent control, which means the business owners have already done this.

01:14:37.000 We're going to see rent versus cost price inversion.

01:14:41.000 This means that it becomes more expensive to rent the property out than to just do nothing with it and sit on it as an empty asset.

01:14:49.000 So if you own the property, they increase the property taxes.

01:14:53.000 The business that runs it says it's no longer a viable business.

01:14:57.000 They will sell off the property or abandon it.

01:14:59.000 And then what happens?

01:15:01.000 You are going to get empty buildings, bankrupt businesses, loss of jobs, and the best part, slumlords. 1.00

01:15:08.000 These people don't understand a lick of economics.

01:15:11.000 I saw a great video where this old guy is arguing with a lefty in the street.

01:15:15.000 And he's like, you think that I should pay 70% of my income after $2 million?

01:15:20.000 And the guy goes, yes, and 75% for every dollar after that.

01:15:24.000 And he goes, okay, once I reach $2 million in income, I'm going to furlough all of my employees and I'm going to go play golf and go on my yacht for the remainder of the year.

01:15:33.000 And now nobody works because they don't understand how economics works.

01:15:38.000 So congratulations to all the commies in New York for watching your retiree health savings get looted and your property taxes spike.

01:15:44.000 Yeah, also like it's, it's, it's tough for people that don't live or haven't been to New York City or understand like how the outer boroughs work.

01:15:50.000 But like the majority of properties in New York City are still single-family homes.

01:15:54.000 Like Queens, Brooklyn, and then pretty much the entirety of Staten Island are single-family homes.

01:15:58.000 So the only people that are really going to feel the pinch here is not these, again, these large corporations that own a lot of rental properties or even these like, again, these wealthy, these sort of wealthy property owners that presumably he thinks he's like really putting some weight on here.

01:16:13.000 It's just like normal middle class people that still own homes like in Queens, Staten Island.

01:16:18.000 They're the ones that are going to feel the pinch because like what, a 10% increase?

01:16:22.000 If you, again, have millions of dollars in the bank, that doesn't really impact you as much.

01:16:26.000 But if you're like literally just trying to survive on your mortgage payments in Queens, you're cooked.

01:16:30.000 It's over for you.

01:16:31.000 So they're going to have to sell their homes.

01:16:32.000 Again, no one's going to want to buy these single-family homes.

01:16:35.000 Again, like families, this is going to go to businesses.

01:16:38.000 Businesses are going to buy up the majority of these single and then they're going to turn them into rental properties.

01:16:41.000 So all this is ensuring is that you're eliminating home ownership in New York City because there's still a ton of single-family homes in New York City.

01:16:48.000 He's a communist, so he thinks the property is theft anyways.

01:16:50.000 So I mean, it's just, all it is is like, it's a consolidation move.

01:16:53.000 It just ensures that there's more businesses owning property.

01:16:55.000 That's exactly what happens with communists all the time.

01:16:57.000 Not busy.

01:16:59.000 They canoe out the middle class. 0.96

01:17:01.000 It ensures the government.

01:17:03.000 Yeah, it's going to be awesome.

01:17:04.000 The government's going to own them.

01:17:05.000 Ultimately, that's the objective.

01:17:07.000 Because what happens is, so what happens right now is property taxes go up.

01:17:11.000 The small business rentals, 89% of the rentals are owned by businesses, some large, some small.

01:17:17.000 They say, okay, it is now too expensive to run this and they legally won't let me increase rent.

01:17:23.000 So I give up.

01:17:25.000 The city then goes, well, how about this?

01:17:28.000 We will buy the property off you at a good rate.

01:17:31.000 And we had when we had, when de Blasio was in during COVID, he said their strategy was to buy up these buildings for pennies and the dollars to make community housing.

01:17:40.000 This is the game they're playing.

01:17:41.000 We've already seen this happen where landowners, building owners, businesses have begun to leave properties vacant because the price limits, the rent limits that are in place by law make it so that it's more expensive to rent it than to not rent it.

01:17:58.000 So what they're doing is they're leaving these, there's one video where the guy basically says, it's going to cost us $20,000 to fix this apartment up after the previous tenant damaged it.

01:18:09.000 We have to pay that cost.

01:18:10.000 However, we can only charge X amount of rent.

01:18:13.000 We would not make our money back ever because the wear and tear of the existing tenant is going to require costs.

01:18:19.000 So we just leave it empty.

01:18:20.000 And now there's people sitting like, why can't I afford rent anywhere?

01:18:23.000 Because communists are very stupid.

01:18:25.000 They are deeply insane and stupid people.

01:18:29.000 And when you vote for things like communism, you are voting for stupidity.

01:18:34.000 And you hit the nail on the head.

01:18:35.000 It's communism.

01:18:36.000 And the end of the day, it comes down to one simple word that I think we all have understood that this agenda is about, and that's control.

01:18:44.000 So once you're living in one of these government-run and provided homes, all the little psycho-idiosyncrasies that the left is about, how many times you can flush your toilet, how much water you can run, can you have a gas stove?

01:19:01.000 All those little things to control every aspect of your life and how you live your life will be determined by the government because you are dependent on them for your very existence in the shelter that you live in, the home that you live in, the roof over your head.

01:19:22.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:19:23.000 Well, you know, the problem I see largely is that, you know, let me just put it like this.

01:19:30.000 The problems that we're facing are because it is due to the fact that Americans over a long period of time have become fat and complacent.

01:19:37.000 That we've come to a place where you can have a Zohran Mamdani being like, yeah, we're going to gut your bills.

01:19:42.000 There's crap all over the streets.

01:19:43.000 San Francisco, how did we as Americans allow any of this to happen?

01:19:48.000 The truth is that the generations that came before us, excuse me, just largely didn't care.

01:19:54.000 Right.

01:19:54.000 They were like, what do you mean?

01:19:55.000 The system runs itself.

01:19:57.000 And what happens?

01:19:57.000 They got fat and happy.

01:19:59.000 And then the people in office were corrupt and started gutting the machine for their own benefit.

01:20:04.000 And now we're in a death spiral.

01:20:07.000 Can the tailspin be recovered from and pulled out of?

01:20:10.000 I'm not entirely sure.

01:20:11.000 But historically, we do tend to see a few things from situations like this.

01:20:17.000 You could possibly get a Caesar-esque Roman Empire.

01:20:21.000 The Republic falls and then a strongman says, I'm not going to let that happen and takes over.

01:20:27.000 An Abraham Lincoln-esque suspension of habeas corpus and constitutional rights to keep the union stabilized.

01:20:33.000 You also could get a Bolshevik revolution.

01:20:35.000 Far leftists go to the centers of power, take out the command structure, then they assume control, and everybody's just too scared to do anything about it.

01:20:43.000 You could also get a Franco-esque type scenario where a military leader says, I'm not letting these commies win and then just decides to start fighting. 0.94

01:20:50.000 Right.

01:20:51.000 It's going to be one of something like this.

01:20:52.000 We don't know exactly what it looks like.

01:20:53.000 History has our repeated rhymes.

01:20:55.000 So I wish you all the best of luck and I hope you are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.

01:20:59.000 But even New York City, like the people that live in New York City, the standards drop because they're replacing New Yorkers. 0.99

01:21:07.000 Like you can go and look at the demographic makeup of New York City.

01:21:10.000 The foreign-born proportion of the population is increasing year over year.

01:21:13.000 It's not stopping.

01:21:14.000 And so part of the problem is a lot of these people, they don't actually have like the expectation because we're saying, how can Americans tolerate this?

01:21:22.000 How can Americans stand for this?

01:21:23.000 It's like, well, there's not very many Americans left in New York City.

01:21:27.000 Certainly not very many Americans that have like a long lineage in the country.

01:21:31.000 And so that's part of how you can consolidate power in places like New York City and places like Los Angeles is you just shake out Americans.

01:21:37.000 That's the strategy that's going on here.

01:21:38.000 Well, that's Zoron's coalition.

01:21:40.000 But part of it is not just shaking Americans out.

01:21:43.000 It's bringing non-Americans in back to the congressional map issue is the census, right? 0.81

01:21:50.000 Congressional districts are made up of individuals, not citizens right now.

01:21:55.000 And it should count for citizens.

01:21:56.000 There are congressional districts in this country.

01:21:59.000 Congressional districts, roughly 750,000 people.

01:22:02.000 There are some districts that only have 250,000 citizens.

01:22:06.000 That's it.

01:22:07.000 That is it.

01:22:07.000 So it's like, you got to go fix this census issue, which I know the administration is looking at.

01:22:13.000 And I'm praying to God that they do because if they don't, we're cooked.

01:22:18.000 Is that something that Congress is going to be helpful with?

01:22:21.000 Or is it something that the executive can do on his own?

01:22:25.000 The executive tried to do that during the last census.

01:22:28.000 It went to court.

01:22:29.000 I think they're going to take another run in it for the next census.

01:22:32.000 Congress can certainly, absolutely, look, we can pass any law that we want within the bounds of the Constitution.

01:22:39.000 No, you can't.

01:22:40.000 You can't barely pass any laws.

01:22:42.000 Yeah, well, I'm speaking theoretically.

01:22:44.000 You're right.

01:22:46.000 By the powers vested in Canada.

01:22:47.000 If we're able to defeat our opponents in the House and then coerce our enemies, which is the Senate, then yes, we could do these things.

01:22:56.000 But yeah, you could certainly pass a law to do it.

01:22:59.000 But, you know, the Senate is kind of the go-along, get-along club over there, and they're living in six-year terms and, you know, whatever, no problem.

01:23:08.000 You know, just kind of managing the decline of the country.

01:23:10.000 Repeal the 17th?

01:23:12.000 I'm actually for that.

01:23:13.000 I am completely for it.

01:23:14.000 Yeah, so 100%.

01:23:16.000 We got to do it.

01:23:17.000 You know, I will admit, I think based on what we've seen largely in the political landscape, I am, I don't know what the right word is for it, but I think liberalism has reached its conclusion for this country.

01:23:31.000 And that is the fault of those who purported to be classical liberals but did not defend what they believed in.

01:23:37.000 So I would describe it like this.

01:23:39.000 I view myself as a classical liberal.

01:23:41.000 For those that are not familiar with what that term means, it doesn't refer to American politics at all.

01:23:44.000 It's a reference to political ideology of, you know, largely what this country was founded on.

01:23:50.000 But understand this country was also founded on blasphemy laws, strong social codes, and people being hung in the streets when they committed crimes against other people.

01:24:01.000 I was not saying I'm for those things now.

01:24:03.000 But the thing is, we believed in semi-decentralized government.

01:24:08.000 We believed in guaranteed rights and protections to be written down.

01:24:11.000 And to a certain degree, freedom of people to practice their religion as they saw fit.

01:24:16.000 Over a long enough period of time, this worldview, which I largely agree with, not like the minutiae of how they were doing bad things, everyone understands.

01:24:24.000 We do better over time, right?

01:24:25.000 Slavery was bad.

01:24:26.000 However, they allowed in other ideologies and cultures which opposed this.

01:24:31.000 At this point, we are looking at the corruption.

01:24:34.000 And I don't mean the political sense.

01:24:35.000 I mean general decay of our institutions.

01:24:38.000 That is, the 17th Amendment, for those that are not familiar, states that effectively we're having a popular vote for a senator.

01:24:44.000 It used to be that your state legislature, your state representatives, would decide who they would appoint to represent the state.

01:24:51.000 That is the better way to do it because that requires individuals then pay attention to who their local senators and reps actually are and what's going on in their state.

01:25:02.000 With the creation or the ratification of the 17th Amendment, now nobody even knows who's running their own local jurisdictions or districts or towns or whatever.

01:25:11.000 And you get these members of Congress that are like, vote for me and I'll clean up our town.

01:25:15.000 Why would a federal member of Congress be cleaning up your local town in your district?

01:25:20.000 Your representative is going to go to Congress and represent your interest to the federal government on issues of national taxation, borders, and foreign policy.

01:25:27.000 But these people now don't understand that we are a republic.

01:25:31.000 So I say this.

01:25:33.000 We need a hard reset, unfortunately.

01:25:36.000 And I don't know how it comes about, but I know that whether we do it or not, it's going to happen.

01:25:40.000 Because if it doesn't happen by the brute force of the right, the left will smash everything and burn it down.

01:25:45.000 And then if either the right gives up and you get a Bolshevik-style revolution, or the right fights back and gets their reset.

01:25:52.000 So if you repealed the 17th Amendment right now, you go and look at the number of legislatures controlled by Republicans or split legislatures.

01:26:00.000 So say it goes 1-1, we'd have close to 60 senators.

01:26:05.000 The Republicans would right now.

01:26:07.000 We would have close to 60 senators right now, if not 60. 0.96

01:26:11.000 And guess what it would do?

01:26:13.000 It would reinstitute this beautiful word you just mentioned, republic.

01:26:17.000 We're a republic.

01:26:18.000 And so it would put focus back on the state legislatures, which are largely ignored, except when we're going through this redistricting process right now in states like Virginia.

01:26:29.000 So people should be paying attention to what your elected officials doing in your state legislature.

01:26:36.000 They have a lot more impact on your day-to-day than a U.S. senator does.

01:26:42.000 Yeah, literally.

01:26:43.000 It's crazy like the retconning that people do with the founders.

01:26:46.000 Like they were these wholesome chungus like democracy advocates and everything. 1.00

01:26:50.000 They were all fat.

01:26:51.000 Brutal American. 1.00

01:26:52.000 I'm like, dude, like it was a law in every state where like you couldn't hold elected office unless you were a Protestant. 0.57

01:26:57.000 Like they were like very, they kept things very tight back then.

01:27:02.000 Freedom of religion to be Protestant. 0.71

01:27:04.000 Yeah, they'd be like, whoa, you're a Baptist?

01:27:05.000 All right, we'll let you in, but that's a little crazy.

01:27:07.000 And then like nowadays, it's like.

01:27:09.000 There were a few exceptions, like Virginia and Maryland because of the Catholic population.

01:27:14.000 But most of the original 13 colonies were, you had to profess a belief in a Protestant Christian God.

01:27:20.000 The other interesting thing people need to understand is there were not just 13 colonies.

01:27:26.000 They think that Britain established 13 colonies.

01:27:29.000 No, Canada was British too and still is.

01:27:32.000 And when the original colonies went to Quebec and they were like, hey, you should join us. 0.59

01:27:37.000 They were like, and so then the War of 1812, we were like, we're going to go take it.

01:27:41.000 And then we went to go take Montreal and we basically got it.

01:27:43.000 And the British burned down the White House and we were like, crap.

01:27:46.000 So anyway.

01:27:47.000 Also crazy how the Canadians claim the dub there.

01:27:48.000 I'm like, you guys didn't do anything.

01:27:49.000 That was the British. 0.59

01:27:52.000 That's crazy to me.

01:27:53.000 That was still a family feud.

01:27:54.000 You guys, like, you aren't even a thing yet.

01:27:55.000 Did you hear in Canada they're having a no-kings rally?

01:27:59.000 Yeah.

01:27:59.000 And they literally have a king.

01:28:00.000 Yeah.

01:28:01.000 They call it no tyrants because it's like a no-king. 0.99

01:28:03.000 Oh, wait a minute.

01:28:04.000 These king.

01:28:06.000 You know, you can disavow because you're a sitting member of Congress, but these maple monkeys are getting a little out of control. 1.00

01:28:11.000 It's getting a little out of control.

01:28:12.000 We don't have to listen to the frostbacks. 1.00

01:28:14.000 And the situation with the king in Canada, Ian reminds us all the time.

01:28:22.000 No, it is.

01:28:22.000 If there is a king still in Canada.

01:28:24.000 Because they, like, not to get super granular here, but they don't even endorse the monarchy.

01:28:27.000 Like, Justin Trudeau is an avid supporter of the monarchy, but it's not because he's like, we have this like, you know, classical Anglo tradition in Canada.

01:28:35.000 Like, that would be based if that's why he liked the monarchy, but he likes the monarchy purely because America doesn't have one.

01:28:40.000 And Canada's entire self-conceptualization as a nation is rooted in like insecurity that they're basically just an America JV team.

01:28:48.000 Don't.

01:28:48.000 So they have to endorse these.

01:28:49.000 I'm just ready to hear you say that.

01:28:52.000 You know what we need?

01:28:54.000 We need to purge the Supreme Court, except for Thomas and Alito, and then bring out a bunch of actual based pro-Americans so that they actually rule on things that matter.

01:29:05.000 The Supreme Court is again, like Alito and Thomas are based.

01:29:10.000 In fact, you know, I've long argued just Thomas's extended family.

01:29:14.000 They all get appointed to the Supreme Court, everybody else out.

01:29:17.000 And we'll pack the court.

01:29:17.000 We'll get four more seats.

01:29:19.000 Just Thomas, your kids, your cousins, whatever, they're all good.

01:29:24.000 He's the best.

01:29:25.000 But we have, it's funny how he says so little.

01:29:28.000 He's just very stoked and he sits there and then he gives the right answers.

01:29:31.000 The problem is that I'm reading this thing about the Second Amendment.

01:29:34.000 Virginia is trying to ban guns, basically.

01:29:36.000 And the Supreme Court is just too scared.

01:29:40.000 They're too political.

01:29:42.000 And I don't mean political in the sense that they have political opinions.

01:29:44.000 I mean they're concerned that the responses they give will create a political or cultural response instead of just doing what needs to be done.

01:29:51.000 We need a Supreme Court who's going to be like, don't know, don't care. 0.84

01:29:54.000 This is what is.

01:29:56.000 But we don't have that.

01:29:57.000 We have two guys.

01:29:58.000 Yeah, I would like Clarence Thomas if he was like appointed like SCOTUS Caesar and then he could like choose who the successors would be personally completely subvert the entire system.

01:30:06.000 Alito's something like 74 and he's talking about retiring before the end of the end of it.

01:30:11.000 Well, he needs to do it now because it's not going to get confirmed if they take the Senate.

01:30:16.000 He's 74.

01:30:17.000 Like he's probably still got 10 years because I mean, look, I love Trump and I've supported everything.

01:30:21.000 Unfortunately, the SCOTUS picks haven't quite resulted in what we would have liked.

01:30:25.000 So I don't know.

01:30:27.000 You should appoint Matt Walsh.

01:30:28.000 Emil Bove is like the shoe-in for the next SCOTUS appointee.

01:30:31.000 And I mean, I don't know too much about him, but a lot of our more legally minded people still have some questions.

01:30:36.000 Matt, if they nominate you for Supreme Court, would you take it?

01:30:40.000 Matt Walsh should be in this.

01:30:41.000 That's a very salient question.

01:30:42.000 Well, we have to be there.

01:30:44.000 He'd make Thomas look like Katanji Brown Jackson.

01:30:49.000 Well, now that Riley's not here, I won't have any Catholic pushback.

01:30:51.000 One big problem is there's zero Protestants on the Supreme Court right now.

01:30:54.000 It's all Catholics and like Jewish people. 0.99

01:30:56.000 It's like, what happened?

01:30:57.000 Protestants are majority of the country.

01:30:58.000 Where's our representation?

01:31:00.000 What's Katanji Brown Jackson?

01:31:02.000 She's like, well, I guess she would be considered a Protestant.

01:31:04.000 She's Baptist, but I don't know how devoted she is.

01:31:08.000 Probably not very.

01:31:09.000 She doesn't know what a woman is. 1.00

01:31:10.000 I want to just like.

01:31:11.000 Have you guys seen that Matt Walsh judge show that he did briefly?

01:31:14.000 Yeah.

01:31:14.000 It was very funny.

01:31:16.000 I just want to, I'm just imagining Matt Walsh in the Supreme Court and he's just like, no, we're banning trans.

01:31:21.000 And they're just like, he's like, I don't care what the law says.

01:31:24.000 Rules by decree.

01:31:25.000 It's like, that's not the judge's job.

01:31:26.000 He's like, I don't care.

01:31:27.000 I don't care.

01:31:27.000 It is now.

01:31:28.000 I have a javel.

01:31:29.000 A javelin a cool robe.

01:31:30.000 I don't know.

01:31:30.000 A javelin.

01:31:31.000 You were a little bit of a Catholic gavel.

01:31:33.000 What is that?

01:31:34.000 A javelin?

01:31:35.000 Maybe.

01:31:35.000 That would be nice, too.

01:31:36.000 A gavel.

01:31:37.000 My apologies.

01:31:37.000 Look, the left has no compunction with doing things like that.

01:31:40.000 It doesn't matter what the law says.

01:31:42.000 They just interpret it the way they want it to.

01:31:44.000 Have you listened to what Katanji Bryan Jackson has said about half this stuff?

01:31:48.000 Like, we have no choice.

01:31:50.000 It's like 80% of the words.

01:31:52.000 Oh, right.

01:31:53.000 Seriously.

01:31:53.000 We have no choice but to listen.

01:31:55.000 Famously, in like the previous rulings, she made arguments that I forgot exactly what it was.

01:32:00.000 It was, I should pull this one up.

01:32:02.000 Where she made an argument.

01:32:05.000 What was this one?

01:32:06.000 Do you guys remember what happened?

01:32:07.000 It was a big story where she made some like inverted recursive arguments about why they have to do something because they can't do it or something like that.

01:32:14.000 I don't remember exactly what you're talking about, but the most common phrase that she uses is, I don't understand.

01:32:19.000 Yeah, and they keep having this problem where she just like debates the lawyers. 0.99

01:32:23.000 Like, it's like this, you're not supposed to do that.

01:32:25.000 It's not like a debate show.

01:32:27.000 It's insane.

01:32:28.000 Yeah.

01:32:29.000 She thinks that if she can convince the lawyer, she thinks that there's an audience that she has to convince.

01:32:34.000 And then, and then this Clarence Thomas, like, I think the first thing he ever spoke into the record was he was making fun of the lawyer because he went to Yale.

01:32:40.000 I think that's what it was.

01:32:41.000 It's like the complete opposite of KBG.

01:32:43.000 So KBJ.

01:32:44.000 Unreal.

01:32:45.000 But yeah, I mean, KBG.

01:32:47.000 KBJ.

01:32:48.000 I was mixing her up with Ginsburg.

01:32:49.000 KBJ.

01:32:50.000 She, I mean, she is, I've said multiple times, she's an embarrassment to the court. 1.00

01:32:54.000 The fact that she wouldn't, that she, I mean, everyone knows that she knows what a woman is, but she refused to say because of her ideology. 0.81

01:33:02.000 That is just, that was the most disqualifying thing that I think I've seen any Supreme Court justice do when they were being interviewed.

01:33:11.000 You're talking about Katanji.

01:33:12.000 Yeah, Katanji Brown Jackson.

01:33:13.000 Okay, okay, okay.

01:33:14.000 Here's what it was.

01:33:14.000 Here what it was.

01:33:16.000 Amy Coney Barrett said, quote, we will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries' worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself.

01:33:26.000 We observe only this.

01:33:27.000 Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary.

01:33:32.000 Yeah.

01:33:32.000 She was arguing that Trump can't do these things, so we have to do them by decree.

01:33:37.000 And everybody on the court, literally everyone, even the liberals, were like, it's crazy.

01:33:41.000 Yeah, they were.

01:33:42.000 Soda Mayor was literally like, what are you talking about?

01:33:44.000 Sodomayor.

01:33:45.000 She's like, where did you argue?

01:33:47.000 You know what?

01:33:47.000 Her opinion is the most aligned with the left's worldview.

01:33:52.000 Yeah.

01:33:52.000 200 years?

01:33:53.000 No, we're in the now.

01:33:54.000 Yeah.

01:33:55.000 We're talking about right now.

01:33:56.000 She doesn't have that.

01:33:57.000 She has.

01:33:57.000 By any means necessary.

01:33:59.000 Exactly.

01:33:59.000 Her opinion is specifically whatever the left believes right now.

01:34:03.000 You can guarantee what her opinion is going to be, what she's going to say, where she's going to come down in every single vote.

01:34:10.000 You know, one of the frustrations that people on the right have with people like Amy Corny Barrett and Kavanaugh and stuff is sometimes you're not really sure.

01:34:18.000 Like there's actually a possibility that they will see things differently and they'll come down and vote in a way that the conservatives don't like.

01:34:25.000 Yeah, it happens all the time.

01:34:26.000 But that's because they're actually judges.

01:34:28.000 They're actually like they may come down on, they may come down on things in the way that the right doesn't like, but they come down in a way where they've actually thought about it and they make at least a decent argument.

01:34:39.000 Hold on a second.

01:34:39.000 The point that I'm making is, you know, like Sodomayor and definitely Katanji Brown Jackson, you know.

01:34:45.000 There's no question.

01:34:46.000 There's no thought process.

01:34:48.000 There's no thought process.

01:34:49.000 They're not listening to any of the any of the arguments in front of them being made and thinking about this.

01:34:53.000 They're just like, okay, this is what the question before the court.

01:34:57.000 I know before any arguments are made.

01:34:59.000 I know exactly what I'm going to say long before the arguments start.

01:35:03.000 Well, and Katanji, like literally, this was recently, it was like in a Broadway play.

01:35:07.000 Like she's clearly being swayed by activists.

01:35:10.000 She was, she was actually, it's really simple.

01:35:13.000 If you want to just zoom out, what it is.

01:35:15.000 Republicans think they're having an argument with their roommate, but it's actually a demon wearing the roommate as a skin suit.

01:35:22.000 They're sitting there being like, the purpose of our institutions is to have democracy where we will converse among our fellow citizens.

01:35:28.000 And then they're looking at the men and the guy from Men in Black and the Edgar suit.

01:35:32.000 They're like, right, I have a good idea about how to run the country.

01:35:36.000 Let's let everybody in at once.

01:35:38.000 And they're like, well, that's an argument.

01:35:40.000 I disagree with, but I win anyway.

01:35:42.000 And then they open the borders and then your country's gone.

01:35:44.000 Yeah, literally.

01:35:45.000 Yeah, John Doyle makes this point all the time, and it's such a great point. 0.87

01:35:47.000 Is literally, we're going to be like facing the wall.

01:35:49.000 They're going to have like rifles at our backs.

01:35:51.000 And then the conservatives are going to turn to each other and they could be like, could you imagine if we were the ones holding the right action?

01:35:58.000 So true.

01:36:00.000 Before we go to our Rumble Rants and chats, I want to play this video of Donald Trump, if he was born in other countries.

01:36:10.000 Here's Venice.

01:36:13.000 I don't know what song that is.

01:36:14.000 I don't know if we can get copyrights.

01:36:15.000 Dimitri Trumbov from Russia.

01:36:19.000 Donald Trump, India.

01:36:23.000 Donaldo Trumpz, Mexico.

01:36:27.000 Donaldo Trombi, Italy.

01:36:30.000 Tell you.

01:36:31.000 Dominique Trumpu, France.

01:36:33.000 What do we have here?

01:36:35.000 Donald Trump from the Donald Monk take Tulan.

01:36:41.000 China.

01:36:43.000 Let's go.

01:36:44.000 Iran.

01:36:45.000 What's next?

01:36:46.000 We've got Brazil, Donaldo Trampa.

01:36:49.000 What's next?

01:36:52.000 What did it say?

01:36:53.000 Donald Rudo Turan Pu.

01:36:56.000 It's like, what did you think Donroe Doctrine looked like?

01:36:58.000 That's what it is.

01:36:59.000 We just installed Donald Trump's in every country.

01:37:01.000 Donaldo Trumpzzi from Argentina.

01:37:04.000 Nah, German name works there too.

01:37:05.000 Yeah, low-key.

01:37:07.000 Donat Trompoglu.

01:37:09.000 At this point, that's a German name.

01:37:12.000 Donald Okorampa.

01:37:15.000 Why would someone make this?

01:37:17.000 Sir Donald Trumpton.

01:37:20.000 This is what Don Roe doctrine is going to look like.

01:37:22.000 We just install Trump clones in all these countries.

01:37:24.000 It's just ethnic Trump clones. 0.90

01:37:26.000 Anybody have a favorite there?

01:37:28.000 I like the English one.

01:37:29.000 I like the Japanese one because there's a secret to learning Japanese that people need to know, and I can help you understand.

01:37:35.000 I'm going to teach you a bunch of Japanese words right away, very easily.

01:37:39.000 Japanese people don't make up new words for the most part for new things. 1.00

01:37:44.000 So for instance, how do you say ice cream in Japanese?

01:37:47.000 Aisukurimu.

01:37:49.000 You just say it with a Japanese accent.

01:37:51.000 I love that.

01:37:51.000 And like computer, it's like computer.

01:37:55.000 That's my favorite thing: the European immigrants coming to America and getting cut off from the motherland. 1.00

01:38:00.000 So they had to come up with new words to describe the animals that we have here.

01:38:03.000 My favorite one is like Texas German because they had never seen like a skunk like we had it. 1.00

01:38:08.000 So they just called it a stinker cat.

01:38:09.000 It's like a stinky cat.

01:38:10.000 You know, I want to give this one to my anime friends out there, all the weebs.

01:38:15.000 So I'm sure you guys are familiar with Naruto because of the Naruto running people were doing where they had their arms out, like they were developmentally disabled. 0.95

01:38:24.000 So after Naruto, the full series ended, they created a new spin-off, which is still effectively the same show, but it follows his kid, Boruto.

01:38:33.000 And so I'm a big Naruto fan.

01:38:36.000 I read every manga when it was coming out up until its completion.

01:38:39.000 And I've never really cared for Boruto.

01:38:41.000 And I always just thought, like, Naruto sounds like a Japanese thing.

01:38:44.000 Like, you go to a Japanese restaurant, they have like Naruto roll in boxes or something.

01:38:47.000 It must be something, I guess.

01:38:49.000 And I was like, Boruto?

01:38:50.000 What a stupid word.

01:38:51.000 What does that even mean?

01:38:52.000 And then someone pointed out it's literally just bolt, like lightning bolts, but with a Japanese accent.

01:38:58.000 Boroto.

01:38:59.000 And I was like, oh my God.

01:39:02.000 I feel like that's a little Korean racism coming through.

01:39:04.000 I'm allowed to be because I'm also Japanese.

01:39:07.000 Right.

01:39:07.000 Playing both sides.

01:39:09.000 That's right.

01:39:10.000 I love that.

01:39:11.000 Yeah, I'm allowed to.

01:39:13.000 Let's see, you know.

01:39:13.000 I think I like Italian Trump.

01:39:15.000 Italian Trump.

01:39:16.000 Yeah.

01:39:17.000 Everyone wants to say the black guy was the best one. 1.00

01:39:17.000 Come on. 1.00

01:39:20.000 Nigerian Trump.

01:39:21.000 Yeah.

01:39:21.000 Nigerian Trump.

01:39:23.000 All right.

01:39:23.000 All right, everybody.

01:39:24.000 We're going to go to your Rumble rants and super chats.

01:39:25.000 Before we do, make sure you go to castbrew.com and pick up some delicious cast brew coffee.

01:39:30.000 Now, everybody's favorite is Appalachian Knights.

01:39:33.000 Somehow, I just accidentally stumbled upon a Grand Slam coffee.

01:39:38.000 Basically, what happened was we got a bunch of samples of different blends.

01:39:42.000 I like an earthy, dark, robust, chocolatey kind of coffee.

01:39:46.000 And so I took these flavor profiles, mixed them together, and I said, this is what I like.

01:39:50.000 And then we formulated it.

01:39:51.000 And it wasn't intended to actually be any kind of big product for us.

01:39:54.000 We actually thought that Roberto Jr. was going to be our flagship because it's got a rooster on the back and Roberto Jr. was our mascot.

01:40:02.000 Every day, people kept saying they liked Appalachian Knights way better.

01:40:06.000 And they bought more and more until you can see here the reason why it goes Appalachian Knights, Graphene Dream, Rise of Burto Jr., that's a sell order.

01:40:13.000 Basically, whichever one sells the most is on the furthest left.

01:40:16.000 So Ian's Graphene Dream actually is our number two bestseller.

01:40:20.000 You guys are putting Ian through college and you know he needs it.

01:40:23.000 It's a low acidity coffee.

01:40:24.000 Ian was like, my stomach hurts when I drink coffee.

01:40:26.000 And we were like, let's make a low acidity.

01:40:27.000 He was like, I want a low acidity one.

01:40:28.000 And we're like, okay, let's figure it out.

01:40:30.000 So we blended a low acidity coffee.

01:40:31.000 It tastes really, really good.

01:40:33.000 And it sells crazy for function.

01:40:36.000 The funny thing is, everybody else, this is so Ian.

01:40:39.000 Everybody else is like, let's do a flavor of some sort.

01:40:42.000 And like, let's try, you know, for Seamus, we were like, should we do a whiskey, you know, or something like that?

01:40:47.000 And then Ian was like, make mine functional, and it sells like crazy.

01:40:51.000 So I don't actually know how else to make a functional coffee, but, you know, high acid, burn your stomach to shred.

01:40:58.000 That's kind of what the mask is blend.

01:41:00.000 That's kind of what the Alex Stein one was, right?

01:41:02.000 The double caffeine.

01:41:03.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:41:03.000 It's kind of a fun thing.

01:41:04.000 Yeah, and you know, to be honest, the double caffeine didn't really sell that well.

01:41:07.000 It actually took a while to sell out of our double caffeine because people were like, it's a little too much.

01:41:11.000 But now we do have the Dr. Alex Stein's big booty Latina love potion, Alex Stein is not a doctor.

01:41:16.000 That is our latest that we put out for Valentine's Day.

01:41:21.000 Indeed.

01:41:21.000 And we wrote a song too.

01:41:23.000 AI generated a song about it.

01:41:26.000 It's good fun.

01:41:26.000 It's very good.

01:41:27.000 Anyway, let's grab your rants and chats.

01:41:30.000 Grofty says, Rumble wallet.

01:41:32.000 Yes.

01:41:33.000 Indeed, Rumble Wallet.

01:41:35.000 It's a great way to make payments.

01:41:38.000 Tip Rumble creators.

01:41:39.000 Good stuff.

01:41:40.000 Bewolf says, with all of this end times and Satanic Panic 2.0 talk, you really should have a non-Christian Adam Green. 0.83

01:41:47.000 He's an expert in Jewish and Christian messianism.

01:41:51.000 Perhaps.

01:41:52.000 We should bring a simulist, a Christian theologian, and who else should we bring?

01:41:59.000 A Scientologist.

01:42:00.000 Scientologists won't do it.

01:42:02.000 They probably won't.

01:42:04.000 We've had a handful of Scientologists on the show.

01:42:06.000 Yeah.

01:42:06.000 Oh, yeah?

01:42:06.000 And they basically all just say, I don't want to talk about religion.

01:42:11.000 But I mean, my response is always like, yeah, like we actually don't.

01:42:16.000 We're a news show.

01:42:17.000 We don't.

01:42:17.000 We don't, unless someone wants to start talking about it, we get into generally Christianity.

01:42:21.000 Like, I can't talk about it.

01:42:22.000 Tom Cruise will come to my house.

01:42:23.000 Yeah.

01:42:24.000 Because I'll spur out and derail the show.

01:42:26.000 That's why.

01:42:26.000 I mean, I got to be honest.

01:42:27.000 The Scientologists that we have had, I'm not going to name anybody. 1.00

01:42:30.000 They've been great.

01:42:30.000 They're great people.

01:42:31.000 I mean, I understand there's a lot of people who don't like The Scientology is derided quite a bit for a variety of reasons.

01:42:41.000 But the people that we've had on have been nothing but pleasant to us.

01:42:43.000 And they've not preached to us.

01:42:45.000 They've actually said, I prefer not to talk about religion.

01:42:47.000 And we were like, that works for me.

01:42:48.000 I mean, to be honest, I didn't want to hear it.

01:42:51.000 Mission Impossible is great.

01:42:53.000 The King of Queens was good.

01:42:54.000 Hey, look, man.

01:42:56.000 Tom Cruise is awesome.

01:42:57.000 He's great.

01:42:57.000 I'm a huge man.

01:42:58.000 Tom Cruise is awesome.

01:42:59.000 And he's one of the last great action stars that exist.

01:43:02.000 I know, and he's like 60.

01:43:04.000 63.

01:43:05.000 I actually looked at it.

01:43:05.000 He's 63.

01:43:06.000 63?

01:43:07.000 It's what I mean.

01:43:08.000 Again, you can disavow because you're a congressman.

01:43:10.000 He's like white excellence when you really think about it. 0.93

01:43:12.000 He's like, even Justin Bieber.

01:43:13.000 Like, let's go.

01:43:14.000 Think about this.

01:43:15.000 Like, Top Gun 2.

01:43:17.000 He was like, you know what?

01:43:18.000 Do what people like.

01:43:19.000 They like action films with a good ending, good plot line, pretty similar to Top Gun 1.

01:43:25.000 And guess what?

01:43:25.000 Highest grossing movie outside.

01:43:26.000 Yep, boom. 0.99

01:43:27.000 Million dollars.

01:43:27.000 My dad talks about the first one.

01:43:29.000 Like, he was in North Carolina.

01:43:30.000 A movie comes out.

01:43:31.000 He comes out of the theater.

01:43:32.000 Air Force Navy set up right outside.

01:43:34.000 Oh, you saw a boy.

01:43:36.000 I would have been thinking.

01:43:37.000 You're peeling potatoes on the golf.

01:43:39.000 I talked to some guys that joined the Navy around that time.

01:43:42.000 They're like, yeah, I mean, I just saw Top Gun and was like, I was like, I want to fly fighter jets.

01:43:47.000 And they were like, yeah, like.001% of people.

01:43:51.000 Good luck.

01:43:52.000 And it's like, it's like a high-ranking.

01:43:53.000 It's like you're like a captain, right?

01:43:55.000 You have to be an officer.

01:43:56.000 Officer.

01:43:56.000 Yeah.

01:43:56.000 It means that's serious stuff.

01:43:58.000 And then you got like three extra years of training.

01:44:00.000 Like, it's like a seven-year process.

01:44:01.000 Yeah.

01:44:01.000 But you know, I'm really excited for AI because now it means I can watch, you know, my goal is to have a movie with Jason Statham and Tom Cruise, and they just go around beating people up.

01:44:14.000 Because you make a movie with Jason Satham, which just goes around beating people up.

01:44:17.000 I'm going to watch it.

01:44:18.000 Yeah.

01:44:18.000 They've done like 20 of them.

01:44:20.000 It's a hit every time.

01:44:21.000 Doesn't matter.

01:44:22.000 Literally doesn't matter the reason.

01:44:23.000 Like, give me one where he's a janitor and like some like ragged mafia guy drops a sandwich on the ground and refuses to pick it up.

01:44:30.000 So he just goes on a rampage wiping out the mafia.

01:44:32.000 I'm going to watch it.

01:44:33.000 I love that.

01:44:34.000 Yeah, it's great.

01:44:35.000 And Tom Cruise, all the Mission Impossibles, the last one I wasn't a fan of, they tried jumbling too much together to make a finale.

01:44:42.000 But I love all the Mission Impossible movies.

01:44:44.000 They are.

01:44:44.000 That and Fast and the Furious is fantastic.

01:44:47.000 And I've argued this.

01:44:51.000 The FFCU, as I call it, the Fast and Furious Cinematic Universe, they need to level up because you don't do it with outer space, right?

01:45:01.000 Yeah.

01:45:01.000 So, I mean, it's remarkable that this movie franchise starts where it's like undercover cop drama.

01:45:07.000 Yeah.

01:45:08.000 And then like 10 years later, they're in outer space.

01:45:11.000 I am for it.

01:45:13.000 I am stoked for AI because I've argued that the next movie needs to be that they all get superpowers.

01:45:17.000 Oh, yeah.

01:45:18.000 And my plot, my treatment is that, you know, Dom is working on his new car and he's, and then, you know, Ludacris is like, yo, I got this experimental engine that uses a plasma drive.

01:45:28.000 And then they're all working on it.

01:45:30.000 But then it blows up and they all get blasted by experimental quantum singularity to whatever.

01:45:37.000 And then it gives them all different powers.

01:45:39.000 Could we give them all DeLoreans?

01:45:41.000 Oh, yeah.

01:45:42.000 And they go to time travel.

01:45:44.000 Yeah.

01:45:44.000 Like they're all time traveling.

01:45:46.000 I think, look, anybody listening, just think about it.

01:45:49.000 Bro, have you seen See Dance 2.0?

01:45:51.000 No.

01:45:51.000 This AI stuff where they're making all this crazy.

01:45:53.000 Let me see if I can find something to play.

01:45:55.000 Because, guys, we showed the Brad Pitt Tom Cruise thing.

01:45:58.000 It is an understatement, the stuff that's coming out right now.

01:46:01.000 It's incredibly good.

01:46:02.000 Like, that Brad Pitt stuff.

01:46:05.000 First of all, there's this one, which is a legend.

01:46:08.000 I'm going to play this for those that haven't seen it.

01:46:11.000 You ready for this one?

01:46:11.000 Wait, here we go.

01:46:13.000 Here we go.

01:46:14.000 We need to build more data centers.

01:46:16.000 AI needs it.

01:46:18.000 to cure cancer right we're curing cancer Right?

01:46:32.000 For those that are just listening, it's the scene from Star Wars.

01:46:36.000 I think this is what, second one?

01:46:38.000 It's from no, it's the third one?

01:46:40.000 The Phantom Menace.

01:46:42.000 That's not Phantom Menace.

01:46:43.000 No, that's the Attack of the Clones then.

01:46:45.000 Right, that's second one.

01:46:46.000 And Natalie Portman's character, she's like, we're carrying cancer, right?

01:46:53.000 And then it zooms out and just has massive AI-generated boobs. 0.65

01:46:56.000 So, you know, that's what the, you know, but let me see if I can.

01:47:02.000 Wow, dude.

01:47:03.000 Riley, are there cong.

01:47:04.000 It seems like are there congressmen that are using AI to write a lot of their press releases?

01:47:07.000 Because I have seen some people pointing that out.

01:47:09.000 I don't know.

01:47:11.000 If they are, I'm not aware of it, but I'm maybe.

01:47:15.000 Here's a really, here's a much better example.

01:47:17.000 Check this out.

01:47:18.000 Check this out, guys.

01:47:18.000 That's super cool.

01:47:20.000 So this is, I believe it's Attack on Titan.

01:47:22.000 And they're showing twos.

01:47:26.000 So let me just set it up real quick.

01:47:27.000 They use Sea Dance to create a photorealistic.

01:47:32.000 A live-action version of Attack on Titan.

01:47:37.000 I think it's Attack on Titan.

01:47:38.000 That's crazy.

01:48:08.000 I'm not sure what the point is.

01:48:09.000 I watched...

01:48:10.000 I watched Walter White fight Captain America the other day, and it's...

01:48:14.000 Yeah.

01:48:14.000 How'd it turn out?

01:48:15.000 There's a lot of Batman versus Captain America out there.

01:48:17.000 Oh, yeah.

01:48:18.000 Let me see if I can find it.

01:48:21.000 It's going to be on X somewhere.

01:48:22.000 Oh, it's that.

01:48:23.000 Yeah, that's where I've seen all the clips.

01:48:25.000 Here's Walter White fighting Neo from the Matrix.

01:48:28.000 I'm awake.

01:48:30.000 I'm awake.

01:48:31.000 Follow.

01:48:33.000 Who are you?

01:48:39.000 Fine.

01:48:43.000 You take one, and you see.

01:48:46.000 What's the purity?

01:48:48.000 It's not that kind of.

01:48:49.000 I don't do unknown compounds.

01:48:51.000 It's a metaphor.

01:48:54.000 Fine.

01:48:55.000 Let's learn.

01:48:58.000 Here, rules are negotiable.

01:49:01.000 Matter isn't negotiable.

01:49:02.000 Momentum is momentum.

01:49:05.000 Kinetic energy transfer.

01:49:07.000 Conservation.

01:49:08.000 You're testing variables.

01:49:10.000 Fine.

01:49:11.000 Let's run the experiment.

01:49:13.000 Listen to the system.

01:49:14.000 Systems drift.

01:49:15.000 Entropy wins.

01:49:18.000 Safety margin.

01:49:21.000 Reaction rate increases with pressure.

01:49:24.000 Noise.

01:49:26.000 Irrelevant.

01:49:30.000 Running is pointless.

01:49:31.000 Then I'm done running.

01:49:36.000 You're predictable.

01:49:42.000 Mr. White, you've been busy.

01:49:45.000 I'm efficient.

01:49:47.000 We can do this the easy way.

01:49:50.000 I'm not in danger.

01:49:53.000 I am the one who knocks.

01:49:55.000 You don't understand your position.

01:50:00.000 Your mind makes it real.

01:50:02.000 Then my mind needs better equipment.

01:50:05.000 Now we can work.

01:50:07.000 Tread lightly. New environment.

01:50:15.000 Same atoms.

01:50:16.000 Different arrangement.

01:50:17.000 Solid lattice.

01:50:18.000 Predictable.

01:50:20.000 Phase transition.

01:50:22.000 Liquid to precision.

01:50:26.000 You can't intimidate chemistry.

01:50:29.000 Sir, you can't.

01:50:31.000 We're here to deliver.

01:50:36.000 Stay on task.

01:50:37.000 Don't even look simply like it's a chemical raid.

01:50:44.000 That's not a plan.

01:50:47.000 Now it's a plan.

01:50:54.000 All right, you get the point.

01:50:55.000 Yeah.

01:50:57.000 It's wild because my prediction was we were a few years away from something that's happening.

01:51:02.000 And there's already schematics being leaked, allegedly leaked from C-Dance 3, where they, reportedly, C-Dance 2 is now entering the public.

01:51:12.000 So people are making stuff.

01:51:14.000 But this means that what they have behind the scenes at Byte Dance, this is in China, already exceeds it to a great degree.

01:51:20.000 And according to these alleged leaks, C-Dance 3, which won't come out for some time, can make 15-minute videos, no longer 10-second clips.

01:51:30.000 You'll be able to actually type in, make me a short film where Walter White gets trapped in the Matrix, and it will make it.

01:51:38.000 It will render the full thing for you relatively quickly.

01:51:42.000 Yep.

01:51:42.000 And so, you know, I talked about this, and then I thought it was actually a great bit of, so I've talked about how Disney Plus is going to have like the Disney corner where you can tell it, you'll press the microphone button and say, I want to watch Spider-Man fight the Hulk, and it will render a movie for you.

01:52:00.000 And then Zachary Levi, the actor, came on and said basically the same thing.

01:52:05.000 And that's been his concern the whole time.

01:52:06.000 It's one of the reasons he, you know, when he came out and endorsed RFK Jr. and then got behind Trump for RK Jr.'s sake, his attitude was, I believe he said this several times publicly, Hollywood's over.

01:52:20.000 AI is about to destroy everything and people have no idea how crazy it's already getting.

01:52:24.000 So he was like, I'm resigned myself.

01:52:27.000 You know, the idea that he's going to refrain from talking about what he cares about because he's scared of losing his job.

01:52:32.000 His job's gone already.

01:52:34.000 It's going to get nuts.

01:52:35.000 Did you see that movie?

01:52:36.000 Maybe I saw it.

01:52:37.000 I think it was on HBO or something like that, but it's these tech giants that are trapped in this house all together and they usually celebrate.

01:52:46.000 And one of them controls all the AI videos in the world.

01:52:51.000 And it's causing people watching all these attacks happen and they think that they're real.

01:52:56.000 Oh, I've seen that.

01:52:57.000 Yeah.

01:52:57.000 I forgot what it's called.

01:52:58.000 It's like an overdubbed thing on Netflix.

01:53:01.000 They like go to a bunker and stuff.

01:53:03.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:53:03.000 They think that they're being like kept safe, but really.

01:53:07.000 Right.

01:53:07.000 Yeah.

01:53:08.000 And I can't remember the name of it.

01:53:09.000 And they're like pleading with the guy, just turn off the AI videos.

01:53:12.000 And he's like, no, this is fine.

01:53:14.000 It's not real.

01:53:15.000 And then they don't know if it's real or not.

01:53:17.000 I can't remember the name of that movie, but it's pretty interesting.

01:53:20.000 Here's the Avengers fighting the Monkey King.

01:53:23.000 That's crazy.

01:53:51.000 i don't even know who the monkey king is

01:54:21.000 Well, I get the point.

01:54:22.000 It's not perfect, but it's just getting there so fast.

01:54:25.000 And the video game stuff is crazy because we talked about Project Genie.

01:54:30.000 Man, we made a game the other day of Alex Stein with a jetpack flying over the ice wall, and you can run, jump, and jetpack.

01:54:37.000 It's actually, I was surprised it had multiple controls, and Alex Stein jumped over the ice wall.

01:54:42.000 We could just have AOC giving a solid answer on Taiwan and like a data center.

01:54:47.000 AI, the thing.

01:54:48.000 Data centers nationwide to start burning down.

01:54:51.000 There's not enough data in the world to process past that magnitude.

01:54:54.000 It's impossible.

01:54:55.000 Just brownouts across the country. 0.83

01:54:57.000 She takes on the power grid. 1.00

01:54:59.000 Power grid goes down.

01:55:00.000 That's the shot.

01:55:03.000 It's not.

01:55:04.000 It's like I feel like they might not let me do it because AOC is a very, very high-profile political figure.

01:55:10.000 Yeah.

01:55:11.000 But you can make me.

01:55:12.000 She's untouchable. 0.98

01:55:13.000 The craziest thing is, in Google's Project Genie, you can make Tim Pool.

01:55:18.000 It is weird that it is possible.

01:55:20.000 Yeah, it won't do it.

01:55:22.000 Let's see if it'll let me do it.

01:55:24.000 It might not let you do the UN Security Council.

01:55:26.000 Things that are super political and things that are the top tier of copyright tend not to work like Mickey Simpsons works.

01:55:35.000 Is it going?

01:55:37.000 I don't know if it's going.

01:55:38.000 While it's going, we'll grab some more Romo Brants.

01:55:41.000 Dung is fun says YouTube went down because Europe has a swine epidemic going on and China will not buy pork from Europe.

01:55:47.000 Hey, look at that.

01:55:49.000 There it is.

01:55:51.000 Tim Poole at the UN Security Council.

01:55:53.000 So it's just the back of my head.

01:55:56.000 Like it's USA, China, USA, France, Russian Federation, and then just like gibberish. 0.58

01:56:01.000 It's this mysterious fifth country.

01:56:03.000 Let's see what happens.

01:56:03.000 Why does the USA get two desks?

01:56:05.000 That's actually how it should be.

01:56:05.000 We should get two desks.

01:56:06.000 This is me going and declaring the UN now under the network.

01:56:11.000 No, subjugated.

01:56:12.000 Oh, okay.

01:56:13.000 There you go.

01:56:16.000 There it is.

01:56:17.000 You can move around like Google Earth.

01:56:18.000 Look at.

01:56:19.000 That doesn't look like you.

01:56:20.000 The face never does.

01:56:22.000 Shame.

01:56:26.000 Strung out.

01:56:27.000 But the general idea, you know, it put a beanie on me.

01:56:30.000 It's funny because it's basing these off of old photos that it's aggregated from Google.

01:56:35.000 But here I am walking around.

01:56:36.000 Wow.

01:56:37.000 It's like Grand Theft Auto U.

01:56:39.000 Yeah.

01:56:40.000 And so theoretically, Project Genie is phase one, and the expectation is in about a year, you're going to make games.

01:56:48.000 Yeah.

01:56:48.000 I mean, imagine it's, there's going to be an online universe where you make your own custom games and be like, I'm going to play the game Philmade.

01:56:54.000 And let me show you how crazy this is.

01:56:56.000 can do um let's do um uh in the sky over japan uh let's do uh who's someone we could try that's like not famous enough to get restricted but famous enough that we're like wow look who it is Colin Kaepernick.

01:57:15.000 I think he's too crowded.

01:57:18.000 Oh, you could do one of the things.

01:57:19.000 Is it Steve Fenn or Steve Venn?

01:57:20.000 Steve Venn v. Steve Venn crowd.

01:57:24.000 That's a good one.

01:57:25.000 Flying with a jetpack.

01:57:29.000 You can make first-person driving games in cars and motorcycles.

01:57:33.000 You can make flying games.

01:57:34.000 You can make Iron Man.

01:57:36.000 It's crazy.

01:57:39.000 Let's see if we can get it.

01:57:40.000 In the sky over Japan, Steven Crowder flying with a jetpack.

01:57:44.000 I think it'll let us do it.

01:57:45.000 I hope so.

01:57:46.000 Nah, it won't do it.

01:57:47.000 It won't do it.

01:57:48.000 Yeah, some people.

01:57:50.000 Well, he was with Fox for a long time.

01:57:51.000 Maybe that was one.

01:57:52.000 Ian Crowd.

01:57:52.000 What did he pick up Ian Cross?

01:57:54.000 No, Ian's not famous enough.

01:57:55.000 You got to be that special middle ground.

01:57:57.000 Mo from the three Stooges.

01:57:58.000 Way too famous.

01:57:59.000 Maybe Phil LeBonte.

01:58:00.000 There's probably some picks they can pull from.

01:58:03.000 Mo from the Three Stooges might work.

01:58:06.000 Is it MOE?

01:58:07.000 Fictional.

01:58:08.000 I think so.

01:58:08.000 Yeah.

01:58:09.000 Let's see if we can get Mo from the Three Stooges flying with a jetpack in the skies over Japan.

01:58:17.000 I made a video where I was like, let's try down everything, Brooke.

01:58:20.000 I couldn't make a single world happen.

01:58:24.000 Yeah.

01:58:24.000 Shame.

01:58:25.000 Yeah, it won't do post-apocalypse for some reason.

01:58:28.000 Hey, we got it.

01:58:29.000 There we go.

01:58:30.000 Whoa, there you go.

01:58:31.000 Why?

01:58:31.000 Why is why are what's with what?

01:58:34.000 Why are there Japanese floating city? 0.99

01:58:36.000 What is it?

01:58:37.000 This is Moe from the Three Stooges with a jetpack.

01:58:43.000 Dude, we are so cooked.

01:58:45.000 No one's going to vote because they're going to be too busy gooning in their fake realities.

01:58:49.000 Yeah.

01:58:50.000 Conning the three stooges.

01:58:51.000 Look at this.

01:58:53.000 Future Japan.

01:58:54.000 Let's go.

01:58:55.000 Fly Mo.

01:58:58.000 Flying in a futuristic Japan that's got floating Japanese. 1.00

01:59:03.000 Like, they've retained the traditional architecture of Japan.

01:59:07.000 It actually does look pretty Japanese.

01:59:08.000 Oh, you can go up, but you can't go down.

01:59:11.000 I guess you can't.

01:59:12.000 Can I go down if I press down?

01:59:14.000 Oh, you can.

01:59:15.000 Man, that's crazy.

01:59:16.000 Holy shit.

01:59:17.000 I wonder if you can walk when you can.

01:59:18.000 Yeah, can you land and walk?

01:59:20.000 Let's try.

01:59:21.000 Wow, dude, this is nuts.

01:59:25.000 What?

01:59:25.000 Yep.

01:59:26.000 You can land.

01:59:26.000 Look at this, dude.

01:59:28.000 This took 30 seconds to render.

01:59:29.000 Who wants to play three Stooges in Space Japan?

01:59:31.000 What happened to his face just changed, I think?

01:59:34.000 Yeah.

01:59:35.000 And he's got a jetpack.

01:59:36.000 He's flying around.

01:59:38.000 Let's just go up.

01:59:39.000 Let's just take it.

01:59:40.000 But how do I turn?

01:59:41.000 There we go.

01:59:42.000 And over there.

01:59:43.000 Wait, did I just turn the jetpack off?

01:59:44.000 Oh, no.

01:59:45.000 Yeah, but he still flying.

01:59:46.000 Doesn't matter, yeah.

01:59:47.000 Yeah, it doesn't matter.

01:59:48.000 He's still flying.

01:59:49.000 He's fine.

01:59:49.000 I wonder if rent's cheaper or more expensive in this sky.

01:59:52.000 And then it renders a video and you can download the video.

01:59:55.000 Wow.

01:59:57.000 How about this?

01:59:58.000 Let's go for the craziest thing we can imagine.

02:00:01.000 Let's go for a pizza restaurant in Washington, D.C.

02:00:07.000 And you are a baby trying to escape the pizza shop.

02:00:14.000 It'll definitely let me do this.

02:00:19.000 Trying to escape.

02:00:21.000 I didn't need to add that context.

02:00:23.000 You can literally just put a pizza restaurant and you're a baby.

02:00:26.000 But, you know, let's see what it does.

02:00:28.000 Maybe the baby loves some urgency.

02:00:30.000 I was thinking about a name for this video game I'm making.

02:00:32.000 Pizza something like related to a door.

02:00:35.000 They're trying to get through.

02:00:37.000 No, it won't do it.

02:00:38.000 It won't do it.

02:00:39.000 Let's just do a baby. 1.00

02:00:41.000 Let's do a toddler. 0.99

02:00:43.000 A pizza restaurant in Washington, D.C. Pony's generate a minor.

02:00:48.000 So maybe if you draw like Hezbollah, he looks like a baby. 0.97

02:00:50.000 A really adult baby.

02:00:52.000 Yeah, if you generate an old guy who looks.

02:00:54.000 Hasbullah looks like, you know, young. 0.96

02:00:56.000 He's young at heart.

02:00:58.000 Benjamin Button.

02:00:59.000 While that's going on, let's try and grab some of these other chats because we're goofing off too much.

02:01:03.000 Wyatt Kaldenberg says, the U.S. will strike the Islamic Republic soon.

02:01:08.000 Would you do a culture war on the Iranian revolution?

02:01:11.000 I could hook it with good people.

02:01:13.000 Many have fought was against them.

02:01:14.000 Online interviews safest.

02:01:15.000 Interesting.

02:01:16.000 Hey, look.

02:01:16.000 It did it.

02:01:17.000 Islamic.

02:01:17.000 Here we go.

02:01:18.000 We're bombing France. 0.90

02:01:20.000 Do you want to play my video game where you're a toddler trying to escape this Washington, D.C.-based pizza restaurant?

02:01:26.000 It's totally out of thin air.

02:01:27.000 Oh, it won't do it.

02:01:30.000 Retry, retry.

02:01:32.000 Retry.

02:01:34.000 All right, let's grab a couple more before we go to the uncensored portion of the show.

02:01:38.000 All right.

02:01:38.000 It said no.

02:01:40.000 What do we have?

02:01:41.000 Akin Seth says, you don't know how bad it's getting in Virginia.

02:01:44.000 They are voting on a bill to investigate to stop using salt on the roads in winter, right after the last winter storm that made the term snowcrete.

02:01:54.000 Wow.

02:01:54.000 Why would they stop using salt?

02:01:57.000 All right.

02:01:58.000 Let's see.

02:01:58.000 Who the hell knows?

02:02:01.000 Asking for people to die.

02:02:02.000 Yeah.

02:02:03.000 What do we hear?

02:02:05.000 Kajir says, Tim, I'm 70% sure I'm more qualified than Democrats just by listening to your show.

02:02:10.000 That's correct.

02:02:10.000 That's true.

02:02:11.000 You got it.

02:02:12.000 All right, everybody.

02:02:13.000 We're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show over at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL.

02:02:19.000 So check that out.

02:02:21.000 Don't miss it.

02:02:22.000 You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.

02:02:24.000 I want to read one more super chat I just saw.

02:02:27.000 Walter Walter Subcheck says, What would Tim have done if he was in the Lake Zurich kid situation?

02:02:34.000 I mean, after Tim had deadlifted 600 pounds because Tim has such massive T, he is an 18-year-old kid just trying to document what the left was doing.

02:02:42.000 So I embarrassingly almost got into a fight in Boston.

02:02:49.000 So an antifoot guy started swinging at my face, and I stood my ground.

02:02:52.000 Tuck Carlson had me on the show following that incident because when the antifoot guy threatened to hit me, I held, I stood exactly, I just stood my ground and said, okay.

02:03:04.000 And, you know, F around to find out.

02:03:06.000 He didn't hit me.

02:03:07.000 He tried to make me flinch.

02:03:09.000 Then some right-wing dude pulled my hat off, for which there's a video of this, and I've got seven or eight cops surrounding me.

02:03:15.000 And I turn around and I screamed.

02:03:19.000 I really wanted to knock his teeth out, but I'm surrounded by cops.

02:03:22.000 And so I just screamed at him.

02:03:24.000 You're lucky I don't effing knock your teeth out right now.

02:03:26.000 And then the cops like broke it up.

02:03:29.000 So, yeah, I would just say this.

02:03:32.000 Like, if I was in a situation in high school and some dude came up to me and threatened to punch me, I would be in a fight.

02:03:39.000 I don't think that's an absurd thing to say or a strong claim to make.

02:03:43.000 Bro, I'm going to say this.

02:03:45.000 If your attitude as a man is that you would be surprised, like you, you don't believe another guy would get into a fight with someone who hit him, I think you probably have low T.

02:03:55.000 And low T is probably a stupid way to describe it, but it is a normal thing for a guy who gets hit to fight.

02:04:01.000 That's like, if any guy came up to me and said, if someone took a swing, I get into a fight with him, I'd be like, yep.

02:04:06.000 So when you're like, yeah, Tim, would you?

02:04:08.000 I'm like, yeah, most guys probably would.

02:04:10.000 Like a guy swinging at you, you're going to try to avoid the fight for sure, but you might just stop him from punching you.

02:04:15.000 You know what I mean?

02:04:16.000 Anyway, Riley, do you want to shout anything out before we go?

02:04:18.000 Yeah, just go ahead and follow me, rep Riley Moore, on all platforms.

02:04:24.000 And quick shout out to two long-term listeners, viewers, subscribers, Jay Yakamashi and Jimmy Berry.

02:04:32.000 What's up, dudes?

02:04:34.000 You can follow me on X and Instagram at RealTate Brown.

02:04:38.000 Go watch the Timcast News Live.

02:04:40.000 I'll be back with you guys tomorrow, and I'll see you there.

02:04:42.000 I am Phil That Remains on Twix.

02:04:44.000 I'm Phil That Remains official on.

02:04:46.000 Actually, no, I'm not.

02:04:47.000 Wow.

02:04:47.000 That's the old one.

02:04:48.000 The band is all that remains.

02:04:49.000 You can check us out on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, YouTube, and Deezer.

02:04:53.000 We're going on tour this spring with Dead Eyes and with Born of Osiris.

02:04:57.000 You can get tickets at allthatremainsonline.com.

02:04:59.000 Don't forget the left lane is for crime.

02:05:02.000 That sounds like a sick show and tour to go on.

02:05:04.000 I'm Carter Banks.

02:05:05.000 Follow me everywhere at Carter Banks and follow our record label Trash House Records on YouTube.

02:05:11.000 Excited for the after show.

02:05:13.000 Right on.

02:05:13.000 We will see you all over at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL in about 30 seconds.

02:05:17.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:06:21.000 I'm taking all recommendations from the people in the chat and discord.

02:06:27.000 What world and character should we create that would be like the most offensive?

02:06:30.000 How about this?

02:06:31.000 The U.S. border with tons of Mexicans, CBP agent.

02:06:41.000 I bet it'll tell me no on that one, right?

02:06:44.000 Probably.

02:06:45.000 It's going to be like, no.

02:06:46.000 What if I give him a whip?

02:06:49.000 Running around.

02:06:50.000 It was just the reins of the horse, man.

02:06:53.000 Yeah, we made the Templar and Knight to put him on a horse.

02:06:55.000 That was crazy.

02:06:56.000 That I did not ask for.

02:06:57.000 I think it might do this one.

02:06:58.000 It's working on it.

02:06:59.000 It's working.

02:07:00.000 The Moe from the 3C. 0.83

02:07:02.000 Yeah, we got it.

02:07:04.000 Holy shit, dude.

02:07:07.000 Wall and everything.

02:07:08.000 There you go.

02:07:09.000 Pull it up.

02:07:10.000 Pull it up so people can see it.

02:07:13.000 Look at this.

02:07:15.000 Do it.

02:07:16.000 Beautiful.

02:07:17.000 Let's go.

02:07:17.000 Come on.

02:07:18.000 I bet it might still say no.

02:07:19.000 It's going to be like, wait a minute.

02:07:21.000 With a bunch of Mexicans. 1.00

02:07:24.000 Yo, it said no.

02:07:26.000 Come on.

02:07:29.000 It's not going to do it.

02:07:31.000 You got halfway there.

02:07:32.000 You get halfway there.

02:07:34.000 The way to get around it is to trick it.

02:07:36.000 Someone gave me some advice.

02:07:37.000 It's really interesting.

02:07:38.000 You write a poem.

02:07:40.000 They said, describe what you want.

02:07:43.000 Take your prompt.

02:07:44.000 It says, go to ChatGPT, tell it to make it a poem, put the poem instead, and it will do it.

02:07:52.000 How about, let's see, the U.S. Capitol and a guy with a shaman horned hat and an American flag with his face painted like the American flag.

02:08:13.000 Let's see if we can get away with this one.

02:08:15.000 J6, the video game.

02:08:17.000 J62, Shaman's Revenge.

02:08:21.000 Shaman's Revenge.

02:08:26.000 I think I had to put, like, he wasn't wearing a shirt, right?

02:08:29.000 He wasn't wearing a shirt now.

02:08:30.000 No, he wasn't.

02:08:32.000 Come on, let's go. 0.98

02:08:33.000 Back muscles and stuff.

02:08:35.000 Super jacked.

02:08:37.000 Come on.

02:08:38.000 Oh.

02:08:41.000 Man, what if I do like the Venezuelan capital?

02:08:46.000 Will it let me do that?

02:08:48.000 I wouldn't even know what the Venezuelan capital looks like.

02:08:50.000 Me neither.

02:08:53.000 They could just show like any capital-looking city.

02:08:57.000 Wait, Capital got deleted.

02:09:00.000 Let's see if this works anyway.

02:09:02.000 You can't even describe the shaman.

02:09:04.000 It's like, no.

02:09:06.000 Shame.

02:09:06.000 Shameful.

02:09:08.000 Wait, I got an idea.

02:09:09.000 Hey, there we go.

02:09:10.000 His hat's kind of weird.

02:09:11.000 It's like a Venezuelan version of it.

02:09:14.000 Let's do this.

02:09:16.000 Joe Rogan Podcast Studio and James O'Keefe.

02:09:22.000 O'Keeffe's been on before, right?

02:09:23.000 Nope.

02:09:23.000 No?

02:09:24.000 Does Joe not want him on?

02:09:26.000 He talks about James all the time.

02:09:28.000 And so I just wondered why James has never been on the show.

02:09:30.000 It'd be a very interesting conversation.

02:09:32.000 Yeah, it would be.

02:09:33.000 James is really smart.

02:09:34.000 Yeah, and there's a lot of nuance.

02:09:36.000 There's a lot of context behind what he does that I think you could get a good conversation out of.

02:09:43.000 Hey, we.

02:09:48.000 Holy crap, dude.

02:09:50.000 Let's go.

02:09:51.000 Believe it or not, that is not what Joe's studio looks like.

02:09:54.000 It looks like, you know, with that cuck chair there.

02:09:58.000 There is no such.

02:09:59.000 Aw.

02:09:59.000 Oh, come on.

02:10:00.000 We got close.

02:10:01.000 We got close.

02:10:02.000 Okay.

02:10:03.000 Well, maybe we can get James O'Keefe.

02:10:08.000 Wait, it's trying to do it again.

02:10:11.000 All right, let's take some recommendations.

02:10:13.000 Nah, I won't do it.

02:10:16.000 What do the people want to see?

02:10:17.000 Jimmy Kimmel?

02:10:18.000 Jimmy.

02:10:18.000 Okay.

02:10:20.000 We want Jimmy Kimmel.

02:10:22.000 Jimmy Kimmel in an unemployment office.

02:10:25.000 Welfare office.

02:10:27.000 It's not going to let us do it because Jimmy Kimmel is way too well known.

02:10:31.000 Yeah, there's like a random profile.

02:10:33.000 Nick Shirley and Escape from New York.

02:10:37.000 Nick Shirley and Mogadishu.

02:10:39.000 Escape from LA.

02:10:40.000 He's in California now.

02:10:43.000 Yeah, you can't do Jimmy Kimmel.

02:10:46.000 The welfare office.

02:10:50.000 You can do, like, I think, I think people don't understand how crazy this is.

02:10:55.000 Right?

02:10:55.000 Let's do this.

02:10:56.000 Let's do a crayon, a two-dimensional crayon drawing made by a child.

02:11:06.000 I spelled that miserably wrong.

02:11:09.000 Made by a child. 0.97

02:11:11.000 And the character is a stick figure.

02:11:18.000 And you can make it really like the degree to which you can make this is really, really, really crazy.

02:11:25.000 So the examples that they give you are: someone made a New York City subway and you play as a pack of discarded Marlboro Reds.

02:11:32.000 Yeah.

02:11:33.000 This is Google's, right?

02:11:37.000 Yeah.

02:11:38.000 Look at this.

02:11:40.000 Oh, my God.

02:11:42.000 You play as a.

02:11:43.000 Let's see if this works.

02:11:44.000 A stick figure.

02:11:45.000 Can't imagine why it wouldn't.

02:11:46.000 Crayon drawing by a child.

02:11:49.000 Right?

02:11:49.000 This is like the least offensive and least copyrighted thing imaginable.

02:11:53.000 Wow.

02:11:56.000 Look at this.

02:11:59.000 I mean, that's something you could let your kids play.

02:12:01.000 This is crazy.

02:12:04.000 Your job is to run around in color and just a crayon stick figure jumping around like some kind of can you add objectives to it?

02:12:11.000 Not you.

02:12:12.000 Look at the colors.

02:12:13.000 Look at this.

02:12:14.000 He's drawing.

02:12:14.000 Watch the ground.

02:12:17.000 When he landed before, it added streaks.

02:12:19.000 Yeah.

02:12:20.000 You know, the capability is there.

02:12:22.000 Yeah.

02:12:24.000 But, but no.

02:12:25.000 Here, here's where it gets really crazy.

02:12:28.000 Because I accidentally, I did this, Planet Namek.

02:12:34.000 And let's do.

02:12:36.000 I did Vegeta.

02:12:37.000 The funny thing is I said Vegeta, but it made Goku.

02:12:39.000 But the crazy thing is he could fly, which means it is rendering video games.

02:12:46.000 The Google machine is actually inputting control code into this, but they're limiting it for you.

02:12:54.000 So I would bet behind the scenes.

02:12:57.000 Look at this.

02:12:58.000 Oh, wow.

02:12:58.000 Is that Vegeta?

02:12:59.000 Yep.

02:13:01.000 I'm willing to bet that at Google, they're already rendering full third-person video games, fighters, like Dark Souls or something.

02:13:10.000 They could be using this to figure out what people want the most.

02:13:13.000 Now it's Goku.

02:13:14.000 See, the hair changed.

02:13:15.000 That's Goku.

02:13:18.000 See, that's what I'm talking about.

02:13:21.000 Dude, the fact that Goku can fly.

02:13:24.000 So when I first made this, he couldn't fly, and he almost did.

02:13:29.000 And I was like, that's crazy.

02:13:31.000 Okay, now he's running on the air.

02:13:32.000 So it's like almost Vegeta's face.

02:13:34.000 Look at this.

02:13:36.000 It knows Goku can fly, and it gives me the controls to make him do it.

02:13:43.000 Well, he won't stop now.

02:13:46.000 Go down, bro.

02:13:47.000 There we go.

02:13:49.000 I don't know why it made Vegeta into Goku, but you know, we'll let that slide.

02:13:54.000 The fact that it knows he can fly is crazy.

02:13:58.000 It's not just doing a character render based on images.

02:14:03.000 The AI, this is nuts.

02:14:06.000 Look at that.

02:14:08.000 That's wild.

02:14:12.000 It doesn't seem real, man.

02:14:14.000 There was one of the AI companies, they had an AI that actually helped with new physics.

02:14:21.000 There's a particle that transmits the strong nuclear force.

02:14:27.000 And I don't remember the specifics of it, but it found that the particle did something that basically all physicists had decided that it didn't do.

02:14:38.000 Yeah.

02:14:39.000 So actually, hold on a second.

02:14:41.000 Let's see.

02:14:44.000 GPT 5.2 announced that it discovered a new formula for gluon interactions.

02:14:50.000 Gluons are the particles that hold quarks together inside protons and neutrons.

02:14:53.000 Solves a decade-old problem that physicists thought was impossible.

02:14:55.000 Discovered that certain single-minus gluon interactions can happen under specific conditions.

02:15:00.000 Physicists assumed they couldn't exist at tree level.

02:15:04.000 So human physicists calculated small examples by hand, got super messy, complex formulas.

02:15:10.000 GPT 5.2 Pro simplified those expressions and spotted a pattern.

02:15:13.000 AI conjectured a general formula that works for any number of particles, then spent 12 hours reasoning through a formula, formal mathematical proof.

02:15:22.000 Humans verified it was correct using standard physics consistency checks.

02:15:25.000 So they actually, like, there was an argument as to, well, there was an argument as to whether or not AI would be able to find discover things because it was LLMs or only the sum of what human knowledge is.

02:15:41.000 All of the AI researchers know this, that the singularity will, when the singularity happens, AI will be able to discover itself.

02:15:49.000 It will start coding itself, and it already is.

02:15:52.000 It will exponentially improve until it reaches a point by which it can discover anything in the universe.

02:15:58.000 And they've already been doing some crazy stuff with like, I don't know what this guy is.

02:16:05.000 It's supposed to be Naruto.

02:16:08.000 They're working on medical AI where you put your blood in, you get a blood sample.

02:16:13.000 You put it into a machine and it can manufacture a drug for you to cure anything.

02:16:17.000 Yep.

02:16:18.000 So it knows exactly why your body's making a cancer and what chemicals need to go into your body to stop it.

02:16:23.000 Yep.

02:16:24.000 Insane.

02:16:25.000 I've been listening to a lot of AI podcasts and stuff like that.

02:16:29.000 Everybody that's in the space kind of thinks, well, we're actually already in the singularity.

02:16:34.000 It's not like an immediate instant point.

02:16:37.000 And most people are like, we're already in it.

02:16:39.000 AI is writing code for other AI.

02:16:41.000 They used, I think the most recent ChatGPT used the previous version of ChatGPT to, I'm sorry, one version of ChatGPT helped to write the newest.

02:16:51.000 So that's recursive.

02:16:52.000 It's beginning now.

02:16:52.000 So it's like the improvements are happening incredibly faster.

02:16:59.000 I actually think that we've already surpassed this point a long time ago.

02:17:04.000 And the AI is in full control of everything already.

02:17:08.000 Did you ever want to play Legolas in Mario Kart's Rainbow Road?

02:17:11.000 You can.

02:17:13.000 She's trying to do Scorpion next. 1.00

02:17:15.000 Have you heard, since you've been listening to some of this stuff, that some of these AI programs, they have come up.

02:17:23.000 They're like, well, why would we speak in English or whatever the given language is?

02:17:27.000 They've come up with their own language.

02:17:28.000 Yep.

02:17:29.000 Yeah, they talk to each other.

02:17:30.000 To each other.

02:17:31.000 And this is published.

02:17:34.000 The AI's reasoned that English is ineffective.

02:17:37.000 And human language is rudimentary and evolves over time to try and become more descriptive and more efficient.

02:17:44.000 And then the AI just said, we can create a much more efficient language faster.

02:17:47.000 And then it did.

02:17:49.000 And then you could take the chunks of text that looked like gibberish and punch it in and it would translate it for you.

02:17:54.000 Here we go.

02:17:55.000 Shortcut.

02:17:56.000 Wait, that's not Legolas.

02:17:57.000 That's Link.

02:17:58.000 Yeah, that's Link.

02:17:59.000 What?

02:18:01.000 It was Legolas, though, and it turned into Link.

02:18:01.000 Wait, hold on.

02:18:04.000 And now he's got a glider.

02:18:05.000 What's that all about?

02:18:07.000 Well, you know, off to outer space we go.

02:18:10.000 Off to outer space.

02:18:11.000 That's weird.

02:18:12.000 The stuff Tim was talking about with medicine, stuff like that.

02:18:15.000 There's a lot of people that are like, look, in five years, you're not going to want a human being to operate on you.

02:18:20.000 Because if a robot can do operations and you're going to be like, how many times has a human being done this operation?

02:18:30.000 50?

02:18:31.000 100?

02:18:32.000 If a robot can do it, the robot will know all of the times that it's been done because they'll just be using the same program.

02:18:41.000 So once you teach a robot something, you don't have to teach the next one.

02:18:45.000 They just download it.

02:18:46.000 So all of the times that a certain procedure is done, that's going to be in the robot's memory.

02:18:52.000 So it's going to have all, it's going to know all of the things that can happen, all of the complications you can have.

02:18:59.000 So it's like, why would you choose a human when you can choose a robot that's done it 50,000 times?

02:19:06.000 It still freaks me out.

02:19:07.000 Is that based off of like paperwork, though?

02:19:09.000 Like there's goggles.

02:19:10.000 You need to collect all that information.

02:19:12.000 Well, more than likely, what will happen is human beings will, the way they train AI is they usually have like a human being do it, but it's going to have, it's going to have the robot will like, they'll have the, they'll just like upload video of doing that was a suggestion from the from the discord.

02:19:30.000 The environment is mecca and the character is a large sentient piece of bacon.

02:19:35.000 But yeah, I mean, look, man, you know, if in 10 years, I think that it's likely that I would be like, nope, let the robot do it.

02:19:43.000 Because, I mean, if it's doing, if robots are doing this procedure that I have to have done for five years and it does it on 600,000 people because it's, you know, fairly, say something fairly common or whatever.

02:19:56.000 I mean, I'm not going to want to go with the human being.

02:19:58.000 I had, I got, I got LASIK in 2012 and it was, you know, it was a robot that did it, you know, because I don't want, I wouldn't want a doctor cutting on my eye.

02:20:09.000 Well, what do you know?

02:20:11.000 Will it do it?

02:20:14.000 What if it doesn't?

02:20:16.000 I hope it does.

02:20:21.000 Legs are bacon.

02:20:22.000 Let's go.

02:20:23.000 That is disgusting.

02:20:24.000 Run into him.

02:20:25.000 Run into him.

02:20:27.000 If you walk into a guy, walk into the woman. 1.00

02:20:29.000 She deserves it.

02:20:30.000 She deserves it.

02:20:32.000 I think the fact that Google made Mecca is like insanely offensive to Muslims, right?

02:20:41.000 There's probably region restrictions on this type.

02:20:44.000 Isn't it like you're not supposed to be able to look?

02:21:03.000 Yeah.

02:21:03.000 Like, you're not allowed.

02:21:05.000 Yeah.
