00:02:35.000Donald Trump today said he's got a morally binding AI agreement with all the big tech wizards who came down to DC to talk about why it's so important to have AI.
00:02:45.000He launched americo.gov, a U.S. government AI website.
00:02:50.000We'll mess around with it and see, we'll poke at it and see what we can do.
00:02:55.000I wonder if it can solve math questions for us.
00:02:57.000And then the big sensational story, of course, is more AI doomerism.
00:03:01.000Bill Gates came out and said AI has the capacity to kill billions of people.
00:03:08.000Of people or cause billions of deaths.
00:03:11.000And yeah, I guess, you know, I consider myself to be a kind of doomery on the AI stuff, but the cat's out of the bag, the gene's out of the bottle, and you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
00:03:23.000So I don't know what you're going to do about it.
00:03:39.000For those that are concerned about Democrats winning the midterms, fear not.
00:03:42.000Mike Johnson has come out and promised if you elect Republicans, they're going to do exactly the same thing they're doing right now go home, not vote on stuff, not pass the Save Act.
00:03:55.000So, oh boy, Mike Johnson just pulled a Kamala Harris, and I'm supposed to be excited about that?
00:04:16.000The whole Mike Johnson thing, it reminds me there was a phrase World War II Japanese submarine captain said the beatings will continue until morale improves.
00:04:52.000So when we all vote Republican and we get a trifecta, and then they're just sitting on their hands being like, you know, we're going to do exactly the same thing, sit on our hands.
00:05:28.000I'm going to need an explanation as to why we're focusing on the war with Iran instead of the domestic crisis in our political system.
00:05:34.000Jack Smith just testified today and he said, Trump's a criminal.
00:05:37.000He broke the law and he deserves to be in prison.
00:05:39.000The man testified and he goes, This is truthfully and factually.
00:05:42.000And I'm sitting here being like, This guy engaged in hardcore malicious prosecution against run of the mill, regular old folk who had no idea what was going on.
00:05:49.000And he stands, and he sits there with.
00:06:35.000Because my sense is in the future, you're not going to need apps because your AI agent is going to be able to go to a website and do what you want.
00:07:00.000I'd queue up all these programs, it starts building.
00:07:02.000And then it takes, I sit there for four hours while it works.
00:07:05.000It's gonna be so fast, like Spotify, where you'll go to a website $19.99 a month, you log in, you tell you, hey, make me a movie or a game of this, it makes it on the fly.
00:07:14.000And to your point, Phil, I counter Claude right now.
00:07:19.000Inside of Claude, I can say, make an app that does a thing, and it'll pop up in the app.
00:07:24.000If I go in Claude and I say, make me an interactive map showing all voter data for the last 20 years, it'll go, okay, it'll print it out and then appear in that box.
00:07:31.000It doesn't need to go anywhere or do anything, it's doing it itself.
00:07:35.000So if you want your agent, To rent you a car, right?
00:07:39.000Or plan something or whatever, then it'll go to do it.
00:07:43.000So basically, apps are going to be in your phone.
00:07:47.000I want to save a lot of this for the show, but I'm going to say it will not go to websites because it'll effectively be an Amazon warehouse.
00:09:49.000And also, don't forget, join us at timcast.com.
00:09:51.000We can't do this without you as our members of our Discord community, so get involved.
00:09:56.000Let's jump into the news, my friends, from the Washington Post.
00:10:00.000Bill Gates warns of a billion deaths if AI goes wrong.
00:10:06.000I wonder if warns is the right word and threatens might be the better word, because I'm not too sure that Bill Gates would be upset if a billion people died.
00:10:17.000He might be like, Oh, it's such a tragedy that we're getting exactly what we've wanted.
00:10:32.000Former Microsoft chief executive Bill Gates, we don't need, we know this, said AI could be powerful enough to cause mass devastation for the human race.
00:10:39.000Quote, AI is certainly powerful enough to drive events that, you know, cause a billion deaths, he said, in response to a question about whether technology could end humanity.
00:10:49.000So even though it's pretty hard to get to 100%, there's never been a weapon as powerful as the combination of people with ill intent using the latest AI tools.
00:10:57.000He added that he welcomed a recent discussion within the tech industry about the potential dangers of AI.
00:11:09.000So there's a bunch of conspiracy theories.
00:11:10.000I'm going to go ahead and settle on they've run out of money.
00:11:14.000And the reason why I'm settling on this is that I, other members of our team, and people that I know have been complaining that OpenAI has nerfed all of their models and they've gotten really bad for some reason.
00:13:44.000I think they are running out of money.
00:13:46.000That's why these companies are going to do IPOs.
00:13:47.000And some people are like, yo, when they do IPOs, you're no longer going to have subscription models because we are burning through their electricity bills on their servers right now, using their hundreds of hours a week.
00:13:57.000They're going to go to token usage where you pay per clip, which is insane because then the Chinese are going to release an open model that devastates Anthropic and OpenAI to completely override our economy.
00:14:09.000The Chinese want the American economy destroyed.
00:14:12.000So they will release a model that allows us to destroy our own economy.
00:14:16.000By giving the individual total power with their AIs.
00:14:18.000And I think that Anthropic and ChatGPT are kind of being told by the American government slow down because your tech will destroy our economy.
00:14:26.000Well, the government's not telling them to slow down.
00:14:29.000Donald Trump has made it very clear that he doesn't want an AI slowdown.
00:14:34.000The administration is very much against any kind of slowdown by the Frontier labs.
00:15:50.000They don't, because the frontier models, they use so many GPUs.
00:15:56.000And all the chips from Taiwan, like everything?
00:15:59.000As of right now, if I understand correctly, there are no fabs in the US.
00:16:06.000To build these chips, you're talking about like they're building chips with connections that are like 10 atoms across.
00:16:16.000Like in the fabs that build these things, there's only one place in the world that makes the fabs that can actually, or that one place in the world that makes the machine that can, the lithograph machine that can actually make those.
00:16:31.000And there's no one else that makes them.
00:16:32.000It looks like Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, and then the US.
00:16:36.000Are the four countries that are pumping out anything chip related that AI is using right now?
00:16:41.000So, and all of the chips that are available, they're all accounted for.
00:17:03.000Over the weekend, I was trying to build this video game and it spins up virtual instances of the game to Play test it and it'll make what I call mutants.
00:17:10.000The machine calls them mutants, which is like play tests where there's something different.
00:17:14.000And then, so all these mutants will play test and it just, my memory spikes and maxes out and my computer will crash.
00:17:20.000So I'm like, well, I'll pay $1,000 for memory because it's the only way to do it.
00:17:26.000It's not in, it's not about funding because everybody's throwing money at these companies, right?
00:17:32.000Because they look, these companies look like they're going to be able to make a massive return if they can get like, Models that do something huge for that people really want or become really, really functional.
00:19:11.000Yeah, it can make a rectangle with rectangles for arms.
00:19:14.000But the point that I'm making is the people, for there to be a killer app, right?
00:19:19.000And that's not, it's not actually talking about an app, but people talk about like you have to have a killer app, right?
00:19:24.000A killer application, something that's really, really functional for everybody.
00:19:29.000And a frontier model isn't useful to people that are like doing day to day stuff with it.
00:19:35.000If it's organizing your calendar, or if it's, you know, booking cars, or booking this, or helping you get information for a term paper, or what have you, those frontier models are the ones that are like solving math problems that have stumped humanity for a hundred years or whatever.
00:19:52.000They're trying to invent new drugs that are, or invent new therapies for serious illness and stuff like that.
00:20:02.000That the big models with a lot of thinking capacity are doing.
00:20:06.000The average person, if they were to get an app that works like Grokbot or the average person gets an app like the new metal one, Muse, those things are really, really functional for the average person.
00:20:20.000The reason I think that the government is slowing it down on purpose, you might disagree, is that the mythos.
00:22:02.000If you overheat it, you can cause the battery to explode.
00:22:06.000So if we were going to see a billion people die, it would probably be through the infrastructure failing, like Telephones going out for like a week, internet going down for a week, starvation, hospitals losing power for a week.
00:22:18.000They monitor, like, what do they call it?
00:24:50.000If the left is allowed to restrict anything, they're just going to like tell you you can't have it at all because they're looking to protect.
00:25:03.000Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna make some money off this.
00:25:04.000I imagine there's there would be ways where they could you know have a tax on it, but they'll tax you know the use or something, or they'll tax what tax whatever uh you know revenue is generated by using it, you know.
00:25:15.000So, I mean, what's I don't know any states that do it like they charge you per mile to use your car, they're gonna start charging like I got used five kilobytes.
00:25:23.000I got charged six percent sales tax when I subscribed to Claude.
00:25:52.000They'll just say, like, the inheritance tax.
00:25:55.000They won't charge you for how much money you saved.
00:25:57.000They'll just say that the money that you saved, or just what will happen is that money that you saved goes towards your bottom line and they'll tax you on your gross income or your.
00:26:05.000On your net income, and that the month because the money that you save will end up going to the revenue of the company, and they'll just tax that.
00:26:12.000So, I mean, they'll get how soon do they tack on at the end, dot, dot, dot, think of the children?
00:26:21.000Like, think of the children, you know, think of the climate, think of, you know, I'm like, okay, I'm waiting for that.
00:26:26.000You know, what would be cool is if, as part of your Claude or OpenAI subscription, you could say, like, I'm going to donate 5% of my compute this month, this week.
00:26:34.000And then you get like a tax credit for it if it gets used, for instance.
00:26:40.000If I got like an extra 7% compute every week, I'd be into it.
00:26:44.000How much are these data centers paying for carbon credits or whatever, you know?
00:26:49.000Well, I mean, I don't know that they're paying carbon credits, but like the places that are the smart companies that are building the data centers, they're doing stuff to offset the cost of the tax base for the local economies.
00:27:02.000Like people, I've heard stories of like in Virginia, the tax revenue goes up so much that they actually see people's property tax go down in areas that have data centers.
00:27:13.000And that's a really smart thing to do because people that have, you know, have aversion to data centers, give them a reason to actually like them.
00:27:20.000Yes, they're going to be a little noisy.
00:27:23.000You know, they're going to make some noise at least to some level.
00:27:26.000I don't think that it's going to be, you know, something that keeps people up all night or is massively annoying.
00:27:32.000I mean, Ian was talking earlier today that there's like 25 data centers in this local area.
00:27:42.000I've been here for four years or something like that back and forth.
00:27:45.000So, you know, I don't think that it's going to be incredibly disruptive, but if you build a data center and you have to pay a bunch of money to the local government, you know, Share it with the population, get their tax revenue down.
00:28:10.000I think data centers are the way of the future.
00:28:11.000I actually had a feeling a couple nights ago, like this powerful vision of, oh, my role now is to make better data centers.
00:28:18.000We need to make them quieter, less intrusive, particularly subterranean if we can, but we need about a trillion times more compute than what we've got if we really want to write this ship quickly.
00:29:26.000There's a couple companies that talked about having some kind of compute on like houses.
00:29:33.000So, what Ian's talking about is actually something that people have proposed, you know, because it's better to have, you know, a decentralized network of compute as opposed to one big place.
00:29:47.000And then you could like give away your data center to the city if you're not using it, and everyone can kind of share data centers without necessarily touching each other's junk, digital junk.
00:29:57.000I mean, you know, you're like, you don't want to mess with each other's programs.
00:36:21.000Right now, I have two computers working in tandem, working on different projects, and they all run through a GitHub account, which is a website where you store code.
00:36:29.000So they'll work on one and then they'll upload what they did, and the other machine will read it and then keep working from here and they'll pass information back and forward.
00:38:26.000They're getting so good that all these different brains, these companies are starting to gain each other's abilities and it's eventually working towards a universe.
00:39:12.000What's going to happen is, so this is a backfill position, meaning older people are going to retire, they're not going to hire new people.
00:39:21.000As somebody who runs a company that needs video production work and we want to make video games and we want to do short films, we are now able to in ways we were not before because we couldn't find the people.
00:39:32.000So I've made a few gag minute long short films.
00:39:35.000I didn't really want to put too much into it, but you could easily do a 10 or 20 minute short film.
00:39:40.000If I could make a 20 minute short film, like an episode of Black Mirror, I could do that in eight hours, easily, on my own.
00:39:53.000It takes a few minutes per render, but you can render multiple at one time.
00:39:57.000And if you're using different accounts on different machines, you can storyboard out all of the frames you need.
00:40:02.000So, what you want to do is you want, if you go to, so here's the way you do it you go to GPT and you say, So I'm working on one right now called The Buyout.
00:40:12.000And I made a 30 second version of it with a single prompt.
00:40:15.000And it's about a guy going to a facility and saying, I want the buyout.
00:40:18.000He goes into a pod, plugs his brain in, and goes to the 1990s.
00:40:21.000I want to hit a few key points a 30 second can't do.
00:40:23.000And that is he gives up his power of attorney and all of his possessions and he goes and lives in the pod.
00:40:28.000So, it's going to require probably five renders.
00:40:32.000So, I go to GPT and I say, render me a photo of a man driving his car down a highway.
00:40:38.000Now, render me an image of this man walking up to a desk inside of a building.
00:40:43.000I take the first and last frame and then I say to C Dance, the man drives his car to the buyout corporation, parks his car in the parking lot, gets out, and he looks up.
00:40:53.000The camera then shows the building, which says the buyout.
00:40:56.000He then walks towards the building and approaches the desk.
00:40:59.000The last frame, him walk up the desk, there's a woman standing there.
00:41:02.000Then I take that as the first frame and have GPT render the next frame.
00:41:07.000The man is handing back a clipboard to the woman.
00:42:11.000So, and there's a Git and there's notes and everything, but it's still really difficult for a new coder to come in and try and figure out where they were.
00:45:33.000YouTube announced they will no longer settle it, they will just deliver what they think someone will click on.
00:45:39.000This means that if you receive a vague video and don't click on it, they'll stop sending it to you.
00:45:43.000And that means when I put up a video, it will always have an amorphous combination of three different images and three different titles.
00:45:51.000What I wonder is if I send you a link, a URL, and you watch it on your account, If you see your version, or if in the URL there's like a C instead of a B. Maybe.
00:47:51.000I hope that what they do with this rollout of A B testing a video is let people make subtle changes, add music to one version, maybe different camera angles in one.
00:48:00.000And then if someone abuses it and does make two completely different videos, they'll get blacklisted from being able to use it.
00:48:12.000But with A B testing titles and thumbnails right now, You can literally make two different versions of the thumbnail.
00:48:19.000So let's say you're trying to do a neutral news report and you're like, today Donald Trump announced a new AI initiative with the launch of america.gov and he announced the signing of a morally binding agreement.
00:48:58.000Coming soon, there will no longer be a settled.
00:49:02.000So, right now, what would happen is it would settle.
00:49:05.000If more libs are clicking, it will default and it'll say, this is the thumbnail that won.
00:49:09.000And now we show this thumbnail to all new people.
00:49:13.000In the next year, sometime this year or next, It will never default, meaning liberals will only ever see Orange Man bad and Trump supporters will only ever see Orange Man good and the video can be neutral.
00:49:26.000Then, when they launch video A B testing, you can actually have one.
00:49:29.000Trump's gone nuts with his new AI initiative.
00:49:31.000And then Trump is the best launching a new AI initiative.
00:49:34.000They're going to be everything to everyone.
00:50:44.000You can launch A B tests and cancel them at any time.
00:50:48.000So imagine I put up three, I make a video, and it's like my normal morning show video where I'm like, Donald Trump today announced a new AI initiative.
00:50:55.000He's going to be working with several different prominent blah, blah, blah.
00:50:57.000And then 10 minutes in, something weird happens like, Ian walks in dressed like a banana and just starts going like, just dancing.
00:51:40.000I would leave my pinky in the original page and then I would look at all the possible outcomes and then go back and pick the right one to keep the game going.
00:51:49.000So it's supposed to be within the next year.
00:51:51.000And they had a big announcement today to the public that there's a bunch of rollouts like permanent multi thumbnails.
00:52:00.000Basically, again, like I said, right now, if you do an A B test, Whichever one gets the most attention, whichever one generates the most engagement and clicks, it will eliminate the other two and become the king.
00:52:35.000Here's the thing you guys got to understand.
00:52:37.000What AI struggles with right now, and I'm not convinced it won't improve, is understanding what humans like.
00:52:44.000So, if you look at Suno, for instance, the music generator, if I go to Suno and I say, write a song about Ian wearing a cowboy hat, it'll be okay.
00:52:54.000It'll be well produced, it'll be a song.
00:52:57.000The likelihood that it's going to be a banger is small.
00:53:00.000Sometimes you go, oh, that's really good.
00:53:34.000They're going to be, look, I go to a coffee shop and I hear some female folk singer and I'm like, Did you turn generic up to 10 when you were producing this?
00:53:41.000Because it's just boring generic stuff.
00:53:46.000So, with ChatGPT, if I tell it to make a YouTube thumbnail and describe what I want, it will make something that's good enough, but it doesn't work better than my personal designs.
00:54:26.000Yeah, I should be able to scan your whole account, look at all the analytics, decide which ones do, which ones don't, mimic the design, implement.
00:54:33.000Like, come on, guys, don't fall behind.
00:56:09.000We went to an Oktoberfest over the weekend, and there's flyers everywhere for restaurants, and it's so obvious.
00:56:14.000Because one thing that OpenAI ImageGen does is it over textures everything.
00:56:20.000Shirts are wrinkly and shadowed, and it's like nobody draws that way.
00:56:25.000So, you need to literally tell it go light, don't put textures on things, and make an image.
00:56:31.000I would recommend just say, make a photo realistic image of a pumpkin with, you know, cornucopia or whatever, if you're doing like a fall thing, and then give it the exact text you want it to use.
00:57:00.000It just became the default everybody started doing.
00:57:02.000So, if you tell it that, it'll give you a clean, basic, unique looking image that doesn't seem AI generated.
00:57:09.000I missed the top part of what you were saying.
00:57:10.000How do people differentiate themselves now, though?
00:57:13.000When AI is creating everything on all the social media, you've got to differentiate yourself some way or another.
00:57:19.000Well, you have to be able to instruct the AI to make whatever it is that you're looking for.
00:57:24.000If you just give it basic prompts, then it's going to end up coming out looking the same.
00:57:29.000But if you tell it that this is the style you're looking for, you can get real specific in the prompts, be like, I want the clothing to be this kind of stuff.
00:57:36.000And then you can actually instruct it to create a design that doesn't fall into the, you know, the kind of everybody's doing it.
00:57:45.000But the thing is, people that are using AI for basic stuff, they don't really care.
00:57:49.000They don't have a creative director or an art style that they're going for.
00:57:53.000They're looking for something that's going to get the message across and be functional.
00:58:36.000So I've been putting about an hour of work into my game every day.
00:58:42.000If somebody actually sat down for one day, it'd be done.
00:58:46.000So I need about a week to get it completely done.
00:58:52.000I need to finish a bunch of cutscenes.
00:58:54.000Takes me like five minutes to make a cutscene for like special points in the game.
00:58:57.000The only thing I really need to do right now, because all the quests are done, all the secrets are done, we've got, let's see, one, we've got two, three, four, five, six playable characters and races.
00:59:12.000All I have to do now is finish the final boss fight, which is pretty difficult because you need, like, designing a boss fight is not something that's particularly easy.
00:59:20.000I can tell it to do whatever I want, but I've got to map out what makes it challenging.
00:59:25.000The regular monster AI is pretty simple.
00:59:27.000They swing weapons at you, they shoot arrows at you, you can dodge and stuff.
00:59:31.000But a boss has to be unique in how you fight them.
00:59:42.000I don't know what AI, if they're building an AI, I don't think they're even really focused on building their own AI at this point, but just hosting.
00:59:48.000Dude, if Rumble can make a better AI image generator for your thumbnails than YouTube, that's a use case scenario.
00:59:55.000Like people right now are on Rumble because of ethics.
01:00:31.000The big problem right now, if I understand correctly.
01:00:33.000There's this technology, I've mentioned it a few times before.
01:00:35.000It's called, well, it's a working title, Iron Lattice.
01:00:37.000And I met up with a scientist developing it at Rice University while I was interviewing people for a documentary I'm working on.
01:00:44.000And it takes the memory of your computer and it puts it in the processor.
01:00:49.000Right now, you have a processor and then there's memory, RAM, you know, and the computer has to send information back and forth between the processor and the RAM.
01:01:20.000Like it will completely, if you can build a million times faster at basically zero cost, I mean, all the cats are out of the bag.
01:01:28.000So I think they're probably afraid of that.
01:01:30.000Like the power structure is like, oh shit, if a random 14 year old can build a better. America.gov than I can because he just sat there for 18 hours and decided to crush the whole power structure of the world, may change, you know.
01:01:44.000But otherwise, you're just struggling for compute, and then it's going to be like territory conflicts for compute power.
01:01:51.000Tim, what you were saying about all of the AI generation, what does that do to like?
01:01:56.000I mean, you can make all these films and stuff like that.
01:01:58.000What does that do, like you said, graphic designer stuff?
01:02:04.000Well, the working theory is that Disney is going to have like the Disney Creator's Corner.
01:02:08.000You're going to open up your Disney Plus and you're going to click the microphone button on your phone and say, I want to watch Han Solo rob a bank.
01:02:53.000I mean, the there's going to be a situation where the likenesses of existing actors are going to be purchased.
01:03:00.000Someone will give the you know, you'll probably end up finding people like Brad Pitt or like Harris Bowen or whatever.
01:03:07.000You'll they'll sell their the rights to use their their likeness, sell their catalog, yeah, you know, they'll be like, Okay, you can use my likeness and.
01:03:15.000It'll be Disney or Paramount or whoever will purchase the rights.
01:03:48.000Yeah, I mean, like the way we have vinyl, you know, it'll be like a prestigious thing.
01:03:52.000My hypothesis for like video gaming is going to be so, my boy Andy knows more about Final Fantasy than literally anybody on the planet.
01:04:01.000He's going to, there's going to be like on Steam, Steam's going to have like the, you know, the creator's corner, whatever you want to call it.
01:04:08.000And people are going to be like, dude, did you see the new Final Fantasy that Andy made?
01:04:13.000He's going to have like 3 million followers and you're going to go to his profile and he's going to be posting video games like he posts tweets.
01:05:19.000If you got 10 people, they each signed up for Astra at 200 bucks a month.
01:05:24.000And you told each of them, you're working on enemy AI and modeling, you're working on the world, you're working on the weapons, you're working on the spell system.
01:06:26.000But what we would do in the next two years is exactly what we have been doing already, and that is putting the conditions in place for a strong America again.
01:06:34.000We restored not just American energy dominance and peace through strength, but a vibrant economy.
01:06:38.000The conditions are there for this to take off, and that's why the stock market indexes are high.
01:06:52.000It's because we did what we said we're going to do and put in pro growth, free market principles in legislation and in Federal policy, we have to continue that.
01:07:01.000We got so much more to do and we can make things so much better.
01:07:07.000Yeah, it was a terrible choice of words.
01:07:08.000Substantially more articulate than Kamala Harris, but to say we're going to do exactly what we've been doing, when people are upset with an administration, whether they're doing good or bad, you have to give them something.
01:07:19.000You have to say, listen, here's our plan moving forward and what you can expect.
01:07:36.000Uh, this guy reminds me of Kevin from the Wonder years, and he just bothers me.
01:07:42.000I just don't, I'm not getting what I'm not getting any return on investment.
01:07:47.000Mike, but Mike Johnson should be better at messaging.
01:07:50.000He should, he should understand, you know, he knows the poll numbers, he knows what it's likely to look like for the Republicans in the upcoming election.
01:07:59.000To say we're going to give you more of the same is one of the worst gaffes that you can imagine.
01:08:04.000You should know that people are going to hear that and they're going to hear, we're going to get more of the Iran war.
01:08:09.000We're going to get more increases in inflation.
01:08:13.000We're going to get more increases in the cost of borrowing money.
01:08:17.000All of the bad things that people associate with the current administration, they're going to assume that that's what he's talking about.
01:08:27.000And that's not going to win you any elections, it's not going to move the needle at all.
01:08:32.000What he should have done is not said more of the same.
01:08:35.000He should have said, we're going to Push policies that give us even more growth and mention the five point, the prediction from the Atlantic at about 5.1% growth.
01:08:45.000Or he could have said, Our agenda right now is to secure oil production, see an end to this war, and get the American people a $5,000 dividend upon completion.
01:08:59.000That's what's going to happen when you vote Republicans.
01:09:02.000Five grand dropped off in your mailbox.
01:09:58.000In fact, the first thing I thought was I didn't like his tone.
01:10:00.000And I mean, like Mike Johnson, who I still don't know, I'd love to hang out with Talk and we'd learn about it.
01:10:05.000But when you're talking like this, and he's like, he's got this conciliatory begging tone in what he was just saying, we're going to do it.
01:10:12.000It's going to be, we're going to, it's like he's begging.
01:10:15.000It feels like he's on the defensive and he's begging.
01:11:22.000So he stepped away from representing his district, and as soon as he becomes Speaker of the House, he takes over this new role of now he only serves the Republican Party.
01:11:30.000Well, he's the Speaker of the House and he's the leader of the Republicans.
01:12:42.000What we're going to do is we're going to put an end to this conflict.
01:12:44.000And when we do and we secure all of that oil for the American people, your gas is going to go down two bucks and you're going to get a check in the mail for $5,000 as a thank you for doing what you had to do for your country.
01:12:55.000And he knows in the back of his mind if Democrats win the midterms, take the House and the Senate, he's going to be on every show fundraising because it's send us your money.
01:13:10.000You think they've just like tucked in and just accepted it's going to be a Democratic sweep?
01:13:14.000In the midterms, and then next time they'll get it, and then the next time the other people will get it, and they'll just because the whole government this is what I think is the whole system is broken with $41 trillion in debt.
01:15:01.000I just don't think that he thinks that the United States is in that kind of dire straits.
01:15:08.000I don't think that he understands that the American people are struggling or the number of Americans that are struggling, especially with the cost of gas.
01:15:16.000This is Hillary trying to make coffee in the gas station.
01:18:02.000Over a certain amount of time, like, so the next generation, Gen Alpha, it's going to be disproportionately raised by conservatives because conservatives are having more kids than liberals.
01:19:30.000I mean, the damage that the Lindsey Clancy supporters have done to the feminist movement or to the idea of women in positions of power, I don't think you can understate it.
01:19:43.000People are just like, wait a minute, there are millions of women out there that are supporting this woman and saying that she should be let go.
01:19:50.000How am I supposed to actually vote for a woman when women are this.
01:19:56.000I mean, people filing for divorce because the wife supports.
01:20:00.000And if women, because the argument that they're making for the Lindsey Clancy thing, and all of her supporters agree, is you can't blame her for what she did.
01:20:09.000Everyone knows she did it, but you can't blame her for what she did because women's emotions cannot be controlled the same way that men can, which is the exact argument that was made 100 years ago or more against the idea of women getting the right to vote, against women's suffrage.
01:20:25.000That was the first Democrat presidential debate.
01:22:24.000I just think that logic is the best status of a leader.
01:22:28.000Like the best thing a leadership could have is logic.
01:22:31.000And then there's this like 95% logic is leadership.
01:22:36.000And then there's like 5%, you better not, it's emotion and you better not mess it up or you're completely doomed.
01:22:40.000And that's where the wife comes in and can tell the guy, like, don't be a douche.
01:22:44.000And she'll instruct you like how to socialize so that you can use your logic.
01:22:47.000It's not about whether women can or can't.
01:22:51.000It's that because there are definitely some women that could, but it's about like the odds of finding a woman that can or the odds of the woman in question being able to do it.
01:23:22.000I just ask that so you get the answer.
01:23:24.000I think everybody, I think just, again, it depends on the woman, right?
01:23:27.000Because again, there are women that, whether they're pre or post menopausal, they would be great leaders, you know?
01:23:34.000But that doesn't mean that the woman that is in the position running is one of those women.
01:23:40.000And the idea that, oh, well, she got to where she is because she has all of the great characteristics that are necessary, there's no reason to believe that.
01:23:49.000You have plenty of people in Congress that are out of their minds.
01:23:54.000Cori Bush was in Congress for a long time and she's as dumb as a box of rocks.
01:24:03.000And there are a bunch of people that, you know, I'm not going to go down the list of people that I think that shouldn't be, of women that I think that shouldn't be in Congress, but there are plenty of women that I've, and there are plenty of men too, but there are plenty of women that I'm like, yo, these people should not be in Congress, but they get there because they have the right mix of charisma.
01:24:20.000And they're willing to do the job and they know the right people.
01:24:23.000Some people are willing to throw money behind them and they can go out and press flesh and they'll convince people to vote for them, right?
01:24:30.000They speak to the voting public in their district and they can convince them.
01:24:35.000But that doesn't mean that they actually should be in Congress.
01:24:38.000Would Jasmine Crockett be a vice presidential candidate?
01:25:00.000You got the heels, you got the heroes.
01:25:02.000To have a hero, you have to have a heel.
01:25:04.000I mean, I wouldn't say it's all WWE, but in Congress, it's a lot.
01:25:07.000I think the Senate is significantly less WWE.
01:25:10.000They all think that their poop don't stink.
01:25:13.000They all think that they're like, we're the upper house and we're the deliberative slow body, et cetera, et cetera.
01:25:18.000Whereas because of the turnover rate in the House of Representatives, that's where you get all the clowns.
01:25:24.000I used to work in D.C. lobbying for a veterans group, and the gamesmanship, I would say, was toxic.
01:25:33.000I mean, so then you know Congress is definitely full of clowns, whereas the Senate, They're not, they don't do, they're playing it safe most of the time.
01:25:42.000They don't like to step out, you know, and take risks on anything.
01:25:46.000The Senate is, you know, they're full of themselves.
01:25:50.000They think they're better than Democrats.
01:26:09.000Everyone's going to be living in weird little bubbles.
01:26:12.000You will go online and you will own, like, it's going to be nuts.
01:26:15.000You're going to go online and you're going to live in rural Nebraska and you're only going to see one political message and it's going to align your political views around your community.
01:26:24.000You're going to hear that, you know, like JD Vance kicked a dog and you're going to be like, wow, I'd never vote for that guy.
01:26:32.000Then you'll live, people will live in West Virginia and they'll see a video of JD Vance running out of a burning building carrying a bag of puppies that he just saved.
01:26:39.000No one's going to believe the same thing.
01:26:40.000And he stumbles over one, but they're like, he kicked it.
01:27:18.000But for them to sow division like that, I don't think that's what it sounds like.
01:27:21.000You understand that when the FBI had a back door into X and Facebook, that's no different than the Communist Party of China having offices in their tech company platforms?
01:27:37.000I mean, either it's like darker, darker.
01:27:40.000Uh, You either let the government use Google's A B testing to mislead the public into what they want, or you let Google mislead, like get the public to go at each other with confusion.
01:27:53.000The way you're characterizing it is a little, I think it's a little bit.
01:27:59.000It sounds like you're laying the onus on the companies that provide the tools as opposed to the people that would use the tools in a way to mislead the public.
01:29:06.000One guy says, We must kill a certain group of people.
01:29:09.000The other guy says, Look, it's a group of people.
01:29:12.000Neither of them has committed an illegal act.
01:29:14.000But together, Tweedledee and Tweedledum have just said, Go kill this group.
01:29:18.000So, although YouTube wouldn't necessarily be doing anything wrong by giving two different people two different videos, they might be creating a cohesive misalignment that could be a correlative threat.
01:29:30.000I still think that the tools that are provided by YouTube are not, in and of themselves, a bad thing.
01:30:41.000And it's along the same path, which is why I'm a little nervous about asking YouTube to censor people.
01:30:46.000But, Also, having someone tell you something and accidentally leaving something out is different than them intentionally misleading you by giving you two different messages.
01:31:03.000So, what if Tim decided that he wanted to make one video where he was taking one perspective and he was making an argument for that perspective about a topic?
01:31:13.000And then he wanted to make another video where he was arguing for the opposing perspective.
01:31:20.000If he wants to make a video that says, look, this is the way these people see it and blah, and then this is the way that these people see it and blah, He's talking about the same topic.
01:31:28.000He's talking about two different viewpoints.
01:31:30.000Neither one is technically wrong because they're viewpoints.
01:33:09.000I mean, it depends on, I suppose it depends on how they say it, but you know, there's always like the consumer of whatever media you're talking about.
01:33:18.000Like, they have a certain amount of understanding that, like, I need to, you know, look for the sources or do you cite your sources or what's the, where does this come from?
01:33:29.000Some people will just take it and run with it and say, well, this is, I heard this on a YouTube video and they'll go and talk about it with their friends or what have you and it might be bad information or wrong information.
01:33:39.000But I don't think the government should get involved in doing anything about it because of, and I think the best example is because of what the government did during COVID.
01:33:50.000They did a whole lot of suppressing information that they didn't want out there.
01:35:19.000And we're going to, I'm using the official meaning of the word government, like the federal government.
01:35:25.000If the federal government decides that they don't like the information that you're allowing people to put out through your platform, then and you have a history of banning people, then they're going to do exactly what they did to Twitter during COVID and what they did to Facebook and say, look, we know you ban people for things.
01:35:48.000And I'm talking about the federal government, just the federal government contacting people carries a significant weight.
01:35:54.000If the government hits you up and says, hey, we'd prefer if you didn't do this, most companies are going to say, I don't want the federal government to be looking at me any more than necessary.
01:36:07.000So we're going to do what they say because it's no skin off my back if I go ahead and block these random accounts.
01:36:34.000I mean, yeah, I guess, but you know, I just think that I think that the onus is on the people that are viewing to decide, you know, make sure what they're viewing is actually true if they actually care.
01:36:46.000And if they're just watching it for entertainment, it's fine.
01:36:49.000Yeah, you put a disclaimer for entertainment purposes only.
01:36:52.000Or at the beginning of the video, be like, I don't believe anything I'm about to say.
01:37:19.000And they shouldn't have to get involved.
01:37:21.000If the corporation's doing it right, they won't have to get involved.
01:37:23.000That's why if YouTube lets people start mass deceiving with their video A B tests, the government might have to step in because it can destroy the culture.
01:37:47.000You could call it disrupting the peace.
01:37:49.000I mean, you could find a way to break it up if you're causing chaos in town, even if it's with words.
01:37:54.000So, you're saying the government should use other laws to silence speech?
01:37:58.000Yeah, like if a big mob came into town coordinatedly, we're spreading lies and tricking the population.
01:38:04.000Like, the sheriff could come by and start rounding those people up.
01:38:07.000Yeah, despite the fact that it would be unconstitutional, they could make up a fake reason to arrest people that are dissidents that they don't like.
01:38:11.000If they're causing, like, disturbing the peace, which maybe they're doing it with their free speech, you know, messing up the local economy, scaring people, making a husband think that his wife lied to them.
01:38:38.000Therefore, the government cannot tell someone.
01:38:41.000We are siding with this person because we think they're telling the truth.
01:38:44.000But if a guy blatantly says, I don't believe this, but I told a bunch of people in town it, and I don't believe this, but I told a bunch of other people that, then the sheriff might have a thing and be like, okay, well, you're creating chaos in town.
01:38:57.000Like, you've done so much damage to the civilians of the town by spreading this lie with your newspaper or whatever.
01:39:04.000Welcome to all media all the time throughout history.
01:41:40.000So she's got substantially larger influence to substantially more people, resulting in substantially higher costs, death threats, and fears of violence, and that's lesser than a guy with a bullhorn.
01:41:52.000It just depends on what the outcome is.
01:41:55.000I think the reality is you don't want to accept the argument you just made because it results in the arrest of people.
01:41:59.000If a guy tells someone to kill themselves and they don't do it, it's not illegal.
01:42:02.000But if they do do it, it becomes illegal.
01:42:51.000Saying something dumb like kill yourself when you don't really mean it is different from intentionally going to someone and providing them instruction.
01:42:59.000Right, and that's like the definition of what a guy in the town square might be doing by sewing chaos on purpose or someone that just says it out loud.
01:43:05.000But how do you prove he is sewing chaos on purpose?
01:43:08.000Well, you see him make three different videos that tell everyone different things on purpose.
01:44:34.000If someone lies about you, there are certain criteria by which you can sue them in civil court, but they're not going to jail for lying.
01:44:43.000In regards to this, I think that people, if they abuse the A B testing of videos, it should, at the very least, they should be blacklisted in their ability to use the A B testing.
01:44:52.000If they can't show that they're using it for the right reasons, Because it could do a lot of damage, man.
01:46:00.000And that's defamation per se, because kicking a dog is a crime.
01:46:02.000You could sue me in civil court, but I ain't going to jail for it.
01:46:07.000Welcome to one of the biggest problems we have, and there's no answer because arresting people for lying just means they're going to arrest anybody they don't want to tell the truth.
01:46:15.000You're going to bring the Smith Mutt Act back?
01:46:26.000So the U.S. pays for American propaganda broadcasts internationally, and Obama got rid of this law so that those broadcasts could be played in the United States.
01:46:35.000It's called the Smith Munt Modernization Act.
01:47:16.000What do you want to happen globally in five years?
01:47:19.000Like, if you could have, if you could snap your fingers and set Earth on a path for humanity, what would the world look like in five years?
01:47:27.000We're going to have a giant freeway that you can drive from New York to New York all around the world through Russia, through China, through Japan.
01:50:04.000Give someone an opportunity to live a good life so that there could be more humans, so they can give people to live a good life so there can be more humans.
01:51:55.000Like, occupy them and force them to do it.
01:51:56.000I mean, if two tribes have two horrible ideas and you have this government authority that you could use against that or to fix it, you'd probably, like, supplant their authority.
01:52:54.000But I'm not going to keep good roads and good waterways out of their city.
01:52:58.000What if there's a culture that believes your water is chemically treated and kills people and it's got nasty garbage in it and I want fresh spring water and you're going to put a gun in their mouth and say, you're taking the water I tell you to take?
01:53:36.000If it's like a city like Akron, Ohio, let's say that's where I come from, the Cuyahoga River caught on fire in the 60s because they were dumping so much stuff.
01:53:42.000If that community refused to clean their river, you better believe we're imposing force because that river flows well beyond their borders.
01:53:49.000Those water tables go way outside their city.
01:53:52.000If they're not allowing us to clean their system and they're poisoning their surroundings, yeah, I'm going to force them to clean.
01:53:57.000So, Ohio, where you're at, are there Amish people around there?
01:54:36.000So let's take the Amish and say the Amish is the average YouTube viewer.
01:54:41.000Why should you be able to decide what the Amish watch on YouTube?
01:54:46.000What should be the terms of service should dictate that?
01:54:48.000I think it's their choice if they want to watch YouTube at all, or pick up a paper, or pick up the Enquirer, or pick up the Gateway Pundit, whatever.
01:54:55.000Whether or not it's on YouTube is only a result of the terms of service of you.
01:54:59.000Free speech is a slippery slope, and everything you said, you want to subvert free speech to make yourself comfortable.
01:59:48.000I can't read your username because we got raided and it's blocking your username.
01:59:53.000How do you know Trump is not doing anything in the USA?
01:59:56.000What if he is trying, but judges, senators, and others are blocking him?
01:59:59.000That's the only way I can explain things.
02:00:01.000I'll say it like this As somebody who lives in the DC area, has a reporter who goes to the White House, and personally knows many people in the administration, I can tell you definitively and explicitly there is frustration among people.
02:00:13.000In lower staffing positions, that they have solutions to problems, and then Trump says, Yeah, we want it done, and then nobody does anything.
02:00:23.000And that these things can be done, but Trump isn't prioritizing them.
02:00:27.000Trump could make a phone call and he could make these things happen, and he does not do it.
02:00:32.000So there are a lot of people that, let's just say they're like people in their early 30s that we've known.
02:00:37.000Some people have even been on this show that you know and have seen who are like, Yeah, we have the answer to these, but for some reason, like Trump's not telling them to do it.
02:01:29.000I mean, the older submarines like that, you just get used to walking like narrow and you rub your junk on other people's junk when you're passing in the passageway.
02:01:43.000I mean, when I first joined, we had hot racking.
02:01:47.000I know people that are watching that are submarine guys know what that is.
02:01:50.000That's where you have three people, you have two bunks, one person's always on watch.
02:01:56.000One per two people are in the racks, and whenever the watch rotates, sometimes you climb in the rack and it's still warm, so that's called haha.
02:02:04.000And when you're up north, you got to flip the pillow, you love the Antarctic, it's really nice getting into a warm bed.
02:02:21.000Yeah, yeah, the mushroom gobbler comment.
02:02:24.000Look, some women, there are definitely plenty of women out there that can, but the The point that I'm making is that there are definitely a significant portion of women that cannot.
02:03:38.000Follow me all over the internet at Ian Crossland, X, YouTube, and where I go live, and Instagram, where I just put up a cover of Push by Matchbox 20.
02:08:42.000So this attitude that YouTube has where it's like, let's get people to watch shorts to compete with TikTok doesn't work because subscriptions don't fucking matter.
02:08:51.000So they're turning their platform into TikTok where no one's going to advertise.
02:14:05.000And you know, I just said to these people, like, I don't know, maybe the multimillionaire with a bunch of billboard charting songs, you know, who owns one of the biggest podcasts in the world, he might just be smarter than you.
02:14:18.000But every time I talk to a poker pro, like, it's not possible.
02:15:30.000I ain't living off it, but for my sessions.
02:15:33.000And so all these pros, they grind my gears because they're all like.
02:15:37.000Is there a certain pro that is more like.
02:15:42.000After you than others, or I mean, is there like the one guy you know what I mean?
02:15:46.000Like the people who hate me don't watch the show and don't know what I look like, and then the people who do watch the show, they love me, they're fans.
02:15:52.000I want to do this math for 5,600 in four months.
02:15:56.000What's how much did you go in with in those four months?
02:18:01.000I mean, you know, he could have a club draw, in which case, my ace queen could be better than his club draw if he's only calling and this guy's cold calling.
02:18:09.000I think ace queen's probably the best hand here.
02:18:11.000So I'm going to make a bet and see what happens.
02:18:14.000Dude to my left calls, instantly know he's got me.
02:25:43.000So, why would you bet there unless maybe you have a small pocket pair or nines or tens?
02:25:47.000So, you're beating the eight and you think I might have ace eight or an eight, or you think that I've got a hand that's just missed the board.
02:25:54.000It's a paired board, so hitting it's less likely.
02:26:20.000They bet when they got it, they fold when they don't.
02:26:22.000I mean, raising me like this, I was like, he's screaming he's got a jack.
02:26:25.000And if he does, my four's not beating anything he's got.
02:26:27.000My only hope is that he's going to have Jack six, Jack seven, Jack three, Jack deuce, which means any Jack he has, why would he call that from the big blind against my 15 bucks?
02:31:41.000So, long story short, Jack Smith triggered me today, Tim, much like he did to you.
02:31:48.000And I remembered he admitted into evidence in one of his cases against Trump an undercover recording of Trump, audio only, where he was talking to a report.
02:31:59.000I think it was a classified documents case, where Trump was recorded.
02:32:04.000And he admitted, now he didn't know he was being recorded.
02:32:06.000So, in my opinion, he was being honest, where he admitted the Pentagon was pressuring him to attack Iran, Iran, whatever.
02:32:17.000And then, and he's like, no, I refused.
02:36:06.000I'm going to tell you, there were a lot of trips of Jared Kushner and Donald Trump Jr. going to Saudi Arabia during the Biden administration.
02:36:15.000So I think this has been in the works for a while.
02:36:17.000So I'm pretty Israel indifferent, right?
02:37:31.000They're like, release the files, and Trump's like, the Saudis will never do a deal with us if we come out on TV and say they're banging kids.
02:39:28.000So, I was curious for untold decades, there have been issues with the barracks or housing that have been issued to service members with HVAC systems, infrastructure, everything that is substandard, and lower enlisted are constantly getting blamed for it, being drafted into work parties and forced to deal with these problems that.
02:39:54.000Were caused by people cutting corners using stub standard materials, getting kickbacks, and it's the officers and upper enlisted that are always coming after them for stuff that they signed off on.
02:40:09.000Do you think that Heg Seth will make this a priority at some point, or is this something that's just going to persist well into the future?
02:40:18.000If that question's for me, as far as I know, I retired in 2014.
02:40:22.000The last base I was at was up in Bangor, Washington, submarine base, and they actually.
02:40:27.000Like, they kind of contracted it out to private businesses because you know better than I do that private business works better than government.
02:40:38.000And whenever I retired, they were revamping all of the base housing, they were revamping the barracks, the BEQs.
02:40:46.000And it was, I don't know now, obviously, but at that time, there was a direction to make health and comfort a real priority.
02:40:58.000And I hope that it's continuing like that.
02:41:01.000I can't say that all the military bases are going to be as nice as Air Force bases, but I hope so.
02:41:10.000Well, part of the reason I bring this up is because Hodge and Cots exist for a reason, and it's calling out the infrastructure that's on these bases, but it doesn't seem to be getting enough traction.
02:41:25.000I mean, I don't know right now, I don't have my thumb on the scale of what's happening militarily.
02:41:32.000I do talk to a lot of veterans that are getting out, and I haven't really heard very many voice any sort of complaints on base infrastructure and stuff like that.
02:41:43.000The big thing that I hear complaints from working as a veteran service officer is the transition.
02:41:49.000The military is not good at helping service members transition through what they call the Transition Assistance Program.
02:41:57.000It's TAP class, they teach you to write a resume, get prepared like that.
02:42:04.000Because I think the military is really good at preparing people to go to battle.
02:42:08.000They're not great at preparing people to go back and be a civilian.
02:42:11.000And I think that's if I could fix a couple of things, that would be the conversation I would have.
02:42:16.000And I've talked to Doug Collins about that before.
02:42:19.000And, you know, the VA is the VA, you know.
02:42:24.000What are the things that the military can do, like top three things off the top of your head, to improve reintegration?
02:42:30.000That transition assistance, the one thing that they have done now that not a lot of people know about, it's like the best kept little secret that the military has, is in your last three years, specifically your last year.
02:42:45.000You can actually go and work at a private company, unpaid by the company.
02:42:51.000You go work unpaid by the company, kind of like an apprenticeship.
02:44:56.000I mean, I'll just hang up on you, I guess.
02:44:59.000That's why I'm white pilled on the internet, the power of communication.
02:45:03.000Like, without it, obviously there's drawbacks, but dude.
02:45:06.000I have one troll that always calls in, and he's got his own YouTube channel, and he calls into all these talk shows and posts the phone call.
02:46:33.000So I'll just get straight to my question What is gained by convincing Republican voters that the midterms are already headed towards disaster?
02:46:42.000Rather than giving them a concrete strategy for changing the party through participation.
02:46:52.000My strategy is understanding that we can effect change only through power, and we have power in the United States government through having members in Congress.
02:47:07.000So encourage people to vote no matter what, because it's better to vote Republican.
02:47:12.000Or vote for people that have our values on the right than not.
02:47:16.000By not voting, you're ceding power to the opposition, but by voting Republican, at least we can affect power, right?
02:47:26.000And effecting change by primarying people that we don't like and pushing people in the primaries that we want.
02:47:33.000That's what the Democrats do, especially with the DSA, is that they use the primary system effectively to get the people that they want in a position of power.
02:48:03.000And I've stated on the show multiple times the time to express your dissatisfaction with Republicans was seven, eight months ago primaries.
02:48:26.000And now, because the options are binary, your option is well, you've got three options don't vote, which is, especially in the climate that we're in now, is likely helping the opposition party, right?
02:48:42.000The party that the Democrats, the party that, you know, at least from my perspective, we don't want to win.
02:48:49.000Or you go and you vote for the Republican.
02:48:50.000You hold your nose and you vote for a Republican you don't like.
02:48:54.000Now, what you're seeing now is there's a lot of people that are making a stink about Donald Trump and they're going to take their grievance with Donald Trump out by not going and voting.
02:49:09.000This isn't likely to do anything significant to Trump himself.
02:49:13.000It probably is going to have a significant impact on the policies that he can get passed.
02:49:21.000It's not likely that he's going to get impeached or put in, removed from office.
02:49:26.000There will be articles of impeachment that will come up if the Democrats get control of the House, but we'll see if those actually produce anything.
02:49:36.000But to abstain from voting because you're in a midterm because you're upset with the president doesn't help anything for the American people.
02:49:47.000This only makes the American people, you know, likely to have less.
02:49:52.000Fewer things that actually go through the house to help the people of the US.
02:49:58.000So I completely agree that trying to black pill and say, oh, this is going to be so terrible.
02:50:03.000And we're here trying to tell people what the conditions are, not tell people, you know, hey, look, it's going to be great.
02:52:12.000I get a lot of people that are, you know, I'm like, look, the other day I put up a, yesterday I put up a tweet that had a poll and I said maybe it wasn't going to be a blowout for the Democrats anyways.
02:52:22.000And I caught tons of hell for saying maybe.
02:52:26.000That wasn't even a statement of saying, no, the Republicans are, you know, it's definitely not like a shill kind of statement where it's like, no, man, the Republicans are definitely going to do okay and it'll be fine, blah, blah, blah.
02:52:36.000It was just like, maybe it's not going to be as bad.
02:52:39.000Even questioning whether or not, The Republicans are going to get blown out, and my mentions were a disaster area.
02:52:46.000Yeah, but they're probably just Indians.
02:52:47.000Nah, they're all people that, hey, well, it could be, but a lot of them are libertarians that hate Jews.
02:52:58.000And definitely people on the right, one thing that differentiates the right from the left is that the right, I believe, criticizes their own.
02:53:08.000But I think there's just this culture of doomerism on the right right right now.
02:53:13.000That I'm concerned that that would influence people to just give up.
02:53:18.000And I think, I believe that there should be some sort of like, there should be some sort of like agreement to talk about hey, understanding how power works in government, understanding that things are not perfect, understanding that to effectuate the things we need, we need the power.
02:53:40.000And then, therefore, we need to vote, you know, we need to vote conservative, we need to vote Republican at the same time.
02:53:47.000That's not nullifying or disregarding the issues that are at hand.
02:53:51.000And by being aware of that, talking about the issues, but also talking about reality, I think that could also be encouraging.
02:53:57.000And I just wish that if there could be some way that, you know, a lot of the commentators on the rights could meet, I don't know, meet, come up with a strategy to talk about this in a more effective way to encourage people to vote.
02:54:12.000Well, I mean, look, I'm definitely guilty of saying that we need to have fewer people voting, but that's about, you know, disenfranchising people.
02:54:24.000I'm saying that people shouldn't be allowed to vote, not whether or not they should go to vote.
02:54:29.000Considering the situation that we have, In the United States, where basically everyone that's over 18 is eligible to vote, then I want to see as many Republicans get out to vote as possible.
02:54:41.000I would love to see a lot of Democrats stay home, but that's just me.
02:54:44.000And then, as for your comments about basically how the government operates, that's something that I at least try to talk about because, look, nobody wants to talk about how the sausage is made, right?
02:54:58.000The way that things are done in D.C., usually the reality of it is.
02:55:06.000Pretty far away from what people want to happen.
02:55:10.000I've talked about how people voted for Donald Trump and they were really hoping for a king to come in and have these sweeping powers that a president just doesn't have.
02:55:19.000They had expectations that were just outside of what was realistic.
02:55:23.000And you do have to have a Congress that will legislate the policies that the president has run on.
02:55:33.000He doesn't have enough of a majority in Congress that agree with his policies where he can say, I want to see this passed.
02:55:41.000And the House writes up a bill and the Senate, you know, and they vote on it and it passes and they vote on a bill in the Senate and then it goes to the president where he can sign it.
02:55:54.000There have been very few bills that have been passed.
02:55:58.000And the ones that do get passed are things like the Big Beautiful Bill, which have basically everything that they can shove into it because that's the one thing that has to pass.
02:56:06.000It's an omnibus bill about funding the government and you have to fund the government.
02:57:05.000Maybe my honesty is a detriment sometimes, but I'm really disillusioned with the way they handled Massey, that they basically used all that.
02:58:30.000And he's doing things that are, he's saying, look, we want to see AI be, you know, we want to see the United States leading in AI and we want American companies to make AI.
02:59:01.000I just want him to give me the plan, be the mouthpiece for the American corporate machine, and tell me how you're going to use this monolith to build a better future.
02:59:10.000Like, give me some string to chase or something.
02:59:16.000There are a lot of things that Trump is doing that people are not aware of because the media is focused on just negative things about him and dealing with those negative things.
02:59:30.000We're not really talking about the things he's actually doing.
02:59:33.000Besides the Iran war, there are a lot of things that he's doing.
02:59:42.000Well, there was a talk about, I know you guys talked about like the steel plant in Ohio.
02:59:47.000There's talk that there's, you know, what he's doing with healthcare, with reducing cost for medication.
02:59:54.000There's a lot of things that he's doing with reducing regulation.
02:59:58.000There's a lot of things that he's doing, even AI regulations for that.
03:00:04.000bringing people together to talk about how to implement these things safely.
03:00:08.000He's done a lot of things to deregulate the EPA.
03:00:13.000There are a lot of things that he's done that, if talked about, people can see the benefit of that.
03:00:19.000I received tax returns these past couple of years for the first time in a very long time.
03:00:25.000That's something that people need to talk about because that's something I'm sure everybody's experienced, right?
03:00:30.000Getting a little bit more back in your tax returns.
03:00:34.000There's a lot more that he's done to effectuate change, but people are just not talking about that.
03:00:39.000We're all just focusing on the negative stuff, which is exactly what left leaning media wants us to do.
03:00:45.000I think it's true that he has done a lot, but you have to take what he has done and look at where we're at compared to where we were.
03:00:50.000And the debt's higher, we're at a war.
03:00:53.000But I'm not as interested in him lauding his accomplishments.
03:00:56.000I want him to give me a plan of the future.
03:00:58.000He used to say, We're going to build a wall.
03:01:00.000And that was exciting to a lot of people because they could visualize it, they knew it was a real, tangible thing that was going to happen.
03:01:42.000He just guided us and told us it was going to happen.
03:01:44.000The wall is actually something that is under the scope of the federal government because it has to do with immigration and the border.
03:01:50.000You remember, what was it, the guy, World War II president, FDR, with his New Deal, where he got people excited to rebuild the infrastructure of the United States.
03:02:12.000So maybe it ended up costing the country more than it needed, and we just lived off the surplus of what we gained when we conquered Germany and Japan.
03:02:19.000But still, it excited people and rallied people to focus on a future.
03:02:23.000Project that we can all work on together as a species, you know, and if not Americans, as a human.
03:02:30.000We need it from the Republicans, and they need to know what they're talking about when they talk about it.
03:02:35.000If you want to see that party succeed, that's my opinion.
03:02:38.000Coming from the military side, and I know some people might agree with me, when I was in the Navy, if a sailor wasn't complaining, I worried about them.
03:04:03.000I mean, there's so much damage that has been done to the right within the right or what used to be the right that the Democrats think about how much damage someone like Candace Owens has done to the Republican Party or to the conservative movement.
03:04:21.000Democrats could never buy that, they could never finance how much damage someone like that has done.
03:04:27.000So, like he says, if somebody's screwing up, just leave them alone.
03:04:32.000And to be fair, the Democrats don't have policies that are popular.
03:04:38.000And the policies that they're hoping for, when they start talking, they start talking about things like defunding the police again or things that the American people have outwardly rejected.
03:04:51.000The only thing that they have that has some kind of popular support is with people that are angry.
03:04:58.000About their current situation, and they say things like, Oh, it's the billionaire's fault.
03:05:02.000Like Bernie Sanders blaming the billionaires is still like that can move nobody.
03:05:06.000Nobody talked about the Epstein files when Biden was in office.
03:07:34.000Right at the beginning of COVID, he drove from Kentucky to the Capitol to make all the senators come in and make a vote on that big money when they were trying to print all that money.
03:08:43.000It's not really safe because you see you got primaries.
03:08:45.000It's safe as going along with the status quo.
03:08:46.000So it's the safest performance you can do because you'll say, I'm going to stand up and I'm not going to do this because I think this is bad.
03:08:54.000And fair enough, I know that Thomas Massey is really fiscally conservative.
03:08:58.000But everyone knew that the omnibus bill was going to pass because it's the fund the government bill.
03:10:49.000That's not what I want to get rid of the Electoral College.
03:10:51.000What I'd like to see is instead of 450 congressmen, each with their 700,000 people, all 700,000 of us vote into a smart contract where we say, yeah, for this bill, that's a good thing.
03:12:28.000Okay, so that's what I mean by direct democracy.
03:12:30.000It's the people in your district are all voting, and then whether they vote yay or nay, if yay comes up, then your representative goes to the House and says, okay, we vote yay on this.
03:12:45.000Okay, so that's still a democracy in your district, and they're subject to whatever the democracy is and whatever the result was.
03:12:56.000Democratically voted on whatever the result was.
03:13:36.000Yeah, I like this is the way that you're describing it as the people are voting democratically.
03:13:44.000There's no guarantee, there's no reason to believe that the people that are voting yay or nay on a specific piece of legislation have any information about it or have the correct information about it.
03:13:56.000That's not up to me to decide or care.
03:13:58.000One guy right now is trying to represent 700,000.
03:14:00.000He's taking paychecks, he's getting bribed, he's getting dinners, and then he votes to not pass the Save Act when 95% of the country wants it passed.
03:14:07.000Like, That's the problem I'm trying to solve.
03:14:09.000Not that the SAVE Act isn't passed, it's that the Senate won't even bring it up for a vote.
03:14:14.000This is the problem I'm trying to solve for one representative gets bribed.
03:14:19.000They get taken when they move in there because they only care about what their friends think.
03:14:23.000You don't know that they're getting bribed.
03:14:25.000You're just sucked into this machine and they don't serve the people.
03:15:14.000That's why the Senate is six years and why the House is two years because the emotions of the people will change depending on how they're feeling and how the economy is going.
03:15:29.000And so you have the House to represent the people, but the Senate is meant to moderate the excesses of the House.
03:15:36.000At the very least, I'd like to see this happen so that we could put up the representatives' voting record to see if they were aligned with the people.
03:16:08.000You want the what again, what the people of the district want.
03:16:11.000Yeah, I want that up against what the representative is doing, so you can say, Look, every time you're voting against what your district wants, that every time.
03:18:49.000Just because I was ramming up poker, I figured we'd just go for a little bit longer for the people that were like, we don't care about poker.
03:18:55.000But we're going to wrap it up here, guys.
