Trump diagnosed with venous insufficiency, a guy caught cheating on his wife, and more! Plus, we talk about how Trump s approval rating is on the rise among Republicans, and why we should be mad at Joe Biden.
00:02:33.000Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency.
00:02:38.000There are a bunch of viral stories circulating showing Donald Trump having weird bruising on his hand that he covered up with foundation.
00:02:44.000And it was kind of weird because the foundation didn't match his skin tone, almost like the people who did it didn't know how to do makeup.
00:02:49.000But apparently it's, I guess people are saying he's old.
00:03:07.000Donald Trump's approval rating among Republicans, despite all the Epstein stuff, it's gone up.
00:03:12.000CNN's Harry Enton was surprised to see that basically all of the polls show he's improved with the Republican Party despite the controversy.
00:03:20.000In fact, among Gen X, he is now up 10 points, a massive jump from the previous CNN poll.
00:03:27.000And Trump has improved with Hispanics.
00:03:46.000And he's had to issue an apology over it.
00:03:48.000But seriously, the search volume on this is crazy.
00:03:50.000So I'm actually interested in that angle on why it is the president can be diagnosed with some kind of ailment, but the bigger news story is some guy got caught cheating.
00:03:58.000Maybe that's why that Joe Cheaters was so popular.

00:06:57.000I want to thank Tim for investing in boots on the ground journalism.
00:07:01.000Gave the opportunity for me to go through Panama, the Darien jungle, up through Mexico to the Texas border.
00:07:08.000Got to see the journey of migrants, talk to them, hear about how they want the American dream while Gen Z is saying the American Dream is dead.
00:07:18.000So everything from whistleblowers talking about how much money was given to illegal immigrants in blue cities to hanging out with Border Patrol catching smugglers in the middle of the desert.
00:09:01.000I know that many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the president's hand and also swelling in the president's legs.
00:09:08.000So in the effort of transparency, the president wanted me to share a note from his physician with all of you today.
00:09:15.000In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs.
00:09:19.000In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit.
00:09:28.000The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies.
00:09:34.000Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a b9, and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.
00:09:49.000Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.
00:09:55.000Laboratory testing included a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, D-dimer, B-type, natriotic peptide, and cardiac biomarkers.
00:10:08.000All results were within normal limits.
00:10:11.000An echocardiogram was also performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function.
00:10:17.000No signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.
00:10:23.000Additionally, recent photos of the president have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand.
00:10:28.000This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.
00:10:39.000This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy.
00:10:43.000And the president remains in excellent health, which I think all of you witness on a daily basis here.
00:10:53.000Is he healthy and fine, and he's shaking too many hands?
00:10:57.000Well, other people were saying it's obviously a spot where you would put an IV.
00:11:00.000And I looked close up at the high-definition photographs, and there is seemingly an entry point there.
00:11:08.000And I looked back and found a post as early as November 29th last year showing the makeup on his hand.
00:11:15.000So it was going on all the way back then, and they just talked about it.
00:11:19.000And then during Emmanuel Macron's first visit to the White House since the inauguration, people noted that he was grabbing Trump's hand when they shook hands like really hard, like gripping, digging his fingers in.
00:11:31.000And that's allegedly the same visit when Macrone advised Trump or really asked, begged Trump to tell Candace Owens to stop talking about Brigitte.
00:11:52.000And the way she described the call sounded like someone spoofed her.
00:11:54.000She said that Trump jumped right into the conversation without saying what's up, which is indicative of someone pre-recording or having an air ready to go.
00:12:02.000And then she said that when she made a response, he didn't even acknowledge it.
00:12:13.000I mean, look, the thing that I think most people that are, at least on the conservative side, the questions they have is, you know, the media has noticed this, but they didn't notice four years of a walking corpse in the White House.
00:12:27.000They didn't notice that President Biden could barely complete sentences.
00:12:33.000They would call LIDS at one in the afternoon.
00:12:35.000So, I mean, maybe Trump has something, you know, some health issues, but he's 79.
00:12:43.000That is fairly typical of someone that age.
00:12:45.000You know, I'm thinking about all this fiction they've done on, are you guys familiar with what a lich is?
00:12:54.000And the way they depict a lich is more functional than Joe Biden was as president, which kind of makes it Less scary now when you're like, oh, it's not actually a scary kind of thing right now.
00:13:05.000It's like it was better than we actually had with the president.
00:13:07.000I mean, this just makes, it makes it, it reaffirms all of the people that have the opinion: you know, you can't trust the media and you think you hate the media enough, but you can't hate them enough.
00:13:19.000Like, that's literally the attitude that people should have walking away from this, regardless of what you think about Donald Trump.
00:13:26.000Like, maybe he's got something going on.
00:13:28.000I don't think that if it were serious, they would be downplaying it like this.
00:13:33.000Possibly they could, but he's 220 pounds.
00:13:42.000And again, look, I mean, again, he's 79 years old.
00:13:46.000He's an older guy, and he's going to have procedures.
00:13:49.000He's going to have a degradation of health.
00:13:52.000But honestly, I think the biggest story here is, look, they can see small things on Donald Trump, but the media couldn't tell that President Biden was incapacitated for most of his presidency.
00:14:06.000And all of the things that are downstream from that.
00:14:09.000Kamala Harris did not do anything about it.
00:14:11.000His entire cabinet didn't say anything.
00:14:14.000Nobody stood up and said, hey, we don't think the president can handle the job.
00:14:18.000And I think that the American people deserve to be made aware of this.
00:14:23.000They should have invoked the 25th Amendment, and they didn't.
00:14:25.000So whether or not you have a problem with Donald Trump, you can't deny the fact that this is obviously showing the double standard that the media consistently.
00:14:35.000Well, I just, I asked our friend ChatGPT what causes CVI, and it says valve damage or failure, deep vein thrombosa, there's nothing there, weak or narrowed vein walls, risk factors, obesity, pregnancy.
00:15:39.000I don't know that I trust CNN in this one, but they wrote, Donald Trump has a very strange theory about exercise.
00:15:46.000Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy, writes Evan Osnos in a piece titled How Trump Could Get Fired.
00:16:47.000And you can tell when you listen to him talk, I mean, he's trailing through these sentences and his voice is not as forceful as it used to be.
00:16:55.000And it sounds like he has trouble getting it out sometimes.
00:16:59.000And with his recent posts on Truth Social, it's like, is somebody else writing this stuff?
00:17:04.000I hope so, because if it's him, that's even worse.
00:17:08.000Well, there was a behind-the-scenes kind of thing.
00:17:13.000He's not going to talk to somebody verbally, but that somebody else entirely is coming up with these tweets.
00:17:47.000I'm just asking you to be specific because the guy tweets all the time.
00:17:51.000The point being, like, the stuff about Epstein, like, that shows, I think, less that someone else is doing it and more that it kind of rattles him.
00:18:26.000Because if it were Biden, they would have had a fake hand for him to have instead of just like off-colored makeup.
00:18:32.000So I kind of feel like he didn't care if people found out because then he went on to present a bunch of healthy reasons he was doing good to counteract all the potential causes.
00:18:41.000If it was Biden, it would have been a clone.
00:19:10.000Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it?
00:19:13.000Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?
00:19:17.000And so that was J.D. Vance's response.
00:19:20.000And I wonder if they have, let's grab the letter.
00:19:24.000He said, the letter bearing Trump's name, which was reviewed by the journal, is body, like others in the album.
00:19:28.000It contains several lines of typewritten text Framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker.
00:19:34.000A pair of small arcs denotes the woman's breasts and the future president's signature is squiggly Donald below her waist, mimicking her pubic hair.
00:19:43.000The letter concludes: Happy birthday, and may every day be another for wonderful secret.
00:19:48.000In an interview with the journal on Tuesday evening, Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the picture.
00:20:14.000I mean, what's the evidence that Donald was Donald?
00:20:20.000They say it isn't clear how the letter with Trump signature was prepared.
00:20:22.000Inside the outline of the Naked Woman was a typewritten note styled as an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, written in a third person.
00:21:29.000So yeah, like I was saying, on 2-A, Mark Halperin and Tean Spicer and Dan Tureen, I think his name is, they were talking about this yesterday, and they were kind of alluding to this being a fairly big deal, or at least something that had the White House, the administration kind of up in arms about.
00:21:46.000They were upset, upset enough for Donald Trump to call the Wall Street Journal and actually speak to him about it.
00:21:54.000I feel like it's kind of a nothing burger.
00:21:56.000Sure, it's a little weird and creepy, but I think that the reason that Trump objected to this is because it's another more evidence of association with Epstein, and he is trying his best to distance himself from Epstein and everything.
00:22:14.000There's also allegations that Trump met Melania through Epstein.
00:22:53.000Yeah, I mean, a lot of people have a serious interest for either associating Trump with Epstein or doing whatever they can to smear Trump, obviously, because he's the president and it's politics and stuff.
00:23:06.000It says Trump's name, but are they just saying Donald?
00:23:08.000Like, where, I, you know, unless they showed it to us, this is what's kind of weird about the story is I don't know who Donald is.
00:24:15.000Again, I think that it's even if it was something written by Trump, the only thing that it does is add more evidence that Trump and Epstein knew each other and they were friendly, which I think.
00:24:28.000Yeah, I feel like that's not really a secret.
00:24:30.000There's plenty of pictures of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein hanging out before, what is it, 2000 when he decided that he didn't want to be around Epstein anymore.
00:24:39.000I'm not sure what the context of that was.
00:24:43.000Yeah, he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago and stuff.
00:24:45.000And all the topics, oh, all of them, huh?
00:24:48.000Yeah, so I mean, I don't see how this is particularly inflammatory other than Trump doesn't like it because it reminds people of Epstein when he's, you know, all the Epstein heat is on now.
00:25:02.000The part of the base that's challenging Trump on this right now doesn't even believe that he's trying to hide incriminating information about himself in the Epstein files.
00:25:11.000They want to know who else he's protecting.
00:25:28.000But also Trump's the guy who was on a bus and he was like, you know, when you're famous, women let you do whatever you do whatever you want.
00:25:51.000Well, because we read that Axios stories the other day that said Republicans block a Democrat attempt to publish Epstein files for a second time.
00:26:00.000And then you find out actually it was a procedural vote on control of the floor.
00:26:05.000And then they say, we want control of the floor, but we're going to publish Epstein.
00:26:08.000And you're like, no, you can't control the floor.
00:26:10.000And Axios publishes that Republicans blocked the release of Epstein.
00:26:13.000And the reason that they didn't want to give up control of the floor is because of all the Doge cuts that were coming later in the day, which passed because it took the vote of the vice president.
00:26:22.000But the NPR defunding, the PBS defunding, all these things that were tenants of Donald Trump's run and things that Republicans have been trying to do for ages.
00:26:34.000They're like, oh, yeah, we're not going to give up control.
00:26:36.000So that way we can make sure these things pass.
00:26:38.000And then the Democrats are just, oh, well, you're trying to hide the Epstein stuff.
00:28:15.000It reminded me, like, 13 years ago, there was this guy who dressed up as Elmo in Central Park and started ranting at passersby, including children, about the Jews.
00:28:48.000I mean, it really was pretty brilliant, though, to see all of the Elmo memes come out because it harkened back.
00:28:53.000Do y'all remember that it was like one of the first Elmo memes that came out where he was acting like he's this bougie actor where he's like, Elmo wants his coffee.
00:29:01.000You know, you didn't brew the coffee right.
00:29:02.000He's like throwing it in the face and everything.
00:29:05.000Like, that's what they built it off of, I think, as well.
00:29:24.000But yeah, there's anytime you can take something that's pure and defile it, it's like at least adults and perverts are going to laugh about it.
00:29:43.000It has gone down a bit in aggregates, but this is actually a funny clip.
00:29:47.000I love Harry Etten because he's always so surprised to find out that there are people who like Trump.
00:29:51.000And look, I think this one surprised me a bit because of all these complaints online going after Trump and the Epstein Faj, you might think his approval ratings were going down, Republicans.
00:30:55.000This is a great little finding that Ariel Edwards Levy, who of course is part of our polling unit, found.
00:31:00.000Just one single Republican said that the nation's top problem is, in fact, the Epstein case.
00:31:06.000Not much of a surprise that, therefore, Donald Trump's approval rating has not suffered with Republicans because of the Epstein case.
00:31:12.000Because the bottom line is most Americans say it's not high up on their priority.
00:31:17.000So is the issue then we are all terminally online and suffering from delusions?
00:31:23.000I mean, look, man, I was saying Normies don't really care about the Epstein stuff.
00:31:27.000There are people that care very deeply about it, and they're very vocal, and they're the people that are calling into podcasts and making sure that Charlie Kirk is on point and making sure that Benny's on point.
00:31:37.000And there are people in the chat here that really care about it.
00:32:07.000Yeah, but I said the same thing that you just said prior to the election when Trump over promised on this and we knew that he probably wasn't going to follow through because he qualified it.
00:32:17.000They were like, are you going to release the JFK files?
00:32:23.000And he said, yes, but we're going to need to look into that because some people's names might be mentioned in there and they didn't Do anything wrong.
00:32:30.000So, we're going to have to look into that further.
00:32:33.000So, we knew he wasn't going to follow through on it.
00:32:35.000I don't think he should have even engaged with the conversation and made a promise if it weren't realistic to follow through.
00:32:42.000And people voted on mass deportations and they voted on inflation.
00:32:53.000And anyone watching this live stream, no offense, I'm not even saying you're chronically online, but you're definitely more online than the rest of the population and Trump's supporters.
00:33:03.000Just the number of people that are actually actively involved in politics in the United States is like vanishingly small.
00:33:10.000You know, most people don't get really involved in politics.
00:33:14.000It's the same reason why, you know, every two, every four years, there's the presidential election and there's a bunch of people that turn out, but then the midterms, no one can get to the polls because people aren't, normies aren't particularly interested in politics.
00:33:28.000And whether you like that or not or whether it's good for the country or not is irrelevant.
00:33:33.000It's just the way that the way that people behave.
00:33:36.000Yeah, that's why there's a yearly cycle in political content on YouTube that is it's obvious.
00:33:42.000The year after an election, views go way down.
00:33:46.000And then the midterms kick off and you start getting these elections and it starts to bubble up.
00:33:49.000Then you get a primary year, bubbles up, then a general election and they spend $5 billion and there's ad campaigns everywhere.
00:33:56.000Everyone's trying to maximize their access to whatever audience.
00:34:39.000It's going to be funny when in the future, it's just India and Pakistan debating whether like Trump is better than Hillary on X because they were hired to do so and they don't actually know that they're actually warring on the internet.
00:34:50.000Okay, you doing live events must disprove that theory for you, right?
00:35:29.000Donald Trump's approval rating flips with Gen Z. And I love this headline because they could just write hits, you know, all-time high or something.
00:35:36.000The general story is that he's got among Gen Z plus 10.
00:36:13.000It's definitely like a horse that's been beaten to a pulp.
00:36:16.000And it was kind of like the last thing that I was thinking of right now after doing all the stuff that, you know, I feel like I've done to help create some world where Trump got elected again.
00:36:27.000This is kind of like the time that I was like, okay, well, now we can relax and not think about this for now.
00:36:32.000I think everything's fake, and that's why no one knows what's going on.
00:36:50.000You know, Timmy, you were saying earlier, I think it was on one of the, one of the clips today, like how many things Trump has done that were living up to the promises that he made during the campaign.
00:37:02.000And even people that were like, oh, you'll never get self-deportations.
00:37:08.000And I think that I've heard something like a million people or something have possibly self-deported all over the world.
00:37:47.000But the point of all of the pressure that ICE is putting on is to get people to self-deport, right?
00:37:55.000If they only deport, if, if the whole four years, they only managed to deport 100,000 people, but 5 or 10 million are like, I'm out of here because I want to be able to come back and I don't want to get booted, that's good.
00:38:47.000You know, I know that it's not technically amnesty because it's technically a special visa program that they want to create for illegal immigrant workers, but effectively it's the same thing.
00:38:59.000And they're Incentivized to stay when they hear things like that in news coverage.
00:39:04.000Well, I get what you're saying, but that bill is not going to make it anywhere.
00:39:18.000That presented the bill or that proposed the bill.
00:39:22.000And it's not at all what Donald Trump is saying is going to happen.
00:39:27.000So I understand there are people that have talked about it.
00:39:30.000Trump has made remarks about farmers meeting the workers and stuff.
00:39:35.000But overall, there has been more movement on immigration, illegal immigrants, than probably any other thing that Donald Trump has talked about.
00:39:46.000And whether or not you think it's good enough yet, I understand, but it's already way better than I honestly expected.
00:39:55.000Because again, if a million people have already self-deported, the more pressure you put on, the better.
00:40:00.000And there should be things like they should start picking up employers that are hiring illegals.
00:40:08.000They should pick up people that they should pick up people that rent home or rent apartments to illegals.
00:40:15.000We should be making it as difficult as possible for people that are here illegally because the best option is people to leave voluntarily.
00:40:22.000That is like, no, it's not going to happen.
00:40:26.000Yeah, I just don't think that's going down.
00:42:10.000It's kind of weird that they're shutting it down because I don't quite understand why they don't just convert it into a digital show of some sort.
00:42:43.000Is it just Stevens' bad political takes?
00:42:45.000I have made this prediction and I will predict more.
00:42:48.000I think Fox News, MSNBC, CNN are cooked.
00:42:50.000The amount of money it costs to make shows like this happen, it is not simple.
00:42:57.000I like to imagine all of the people around the world lifting up these shows.
00:43:01.000And it's like, you ask yourself, if you want to do a show like The Five or Colbert or whoever else, how many human beings have to watch that show to make the advertising worth it, to pay all of the staff, the studio, the electricity, and everything?
00:43:17.000It is a lot, especially when Colbert is now competing with Jim in his basement making a viral video because he called, you know, Trump orange or whatever.
00:43:28.000How is Colbert going to compete with some random guy on a cell phone who's like, yeah, well, Trump's orange and everyone laughs.
00:43:33.000And then Colbert with his multi-million dollar enterprise, this show, you can't cut it.
00:43:40.000The ads are costing the same and the views are the same, but Colbert's spending millions to run his operation and Jim's in his basement.
00:44:13.000But you are not going to support that building in New York City, the support staff, the cameras, and his salary with that level of viewership.
00:44:24.000So this is what I was talking to Bill Maher about when I said there will never be another Bill Maher.
00:44:29.000At his peak, his show's getting millions of views.
00:44:32.000And now that media is decentralizing, you can't have that kind of format of a show.
00:44:52.000If they did not split the audience and tried to be fairly moderate or less political, maybe they would have actually survived for a little bit longer, but so be it.
00:45:01.000I think the end is nigh for all of these shows.
00:45:04.000And I mean, look at iShow Speeder like Hyson at these big Twitch streamers.
00:45:08.000Dude, it's just a bedroom with the camera.
00:45:11.000You buy a nice webcam, not a crazy, cheap webcam, and you're going to be getting, they get way more views than these guys do.
00:45:44.000Ratings are in for the second quarter of 2025, and it brings the and things remain competitive across late night with Stephen Colbert holding on the top spot in his hour and Greg Gutfeld dominating his slot.
00:45:53.000According to latenighter.com, citing Nielsen, late show with Colbert topped the 1135 hour in total viewers with an average of 2.417 million views across 41 first-run episodes.
00:46:06.000The late show was also the only program to show an increase over the first quarter in the, so 2.41.
00:46:31.000So they're thinking, we need to wind this down because over the next 10 years, we are going to rapidly lose whatever viewers we have.
00:46:38.000More importantly, you know, when it comes to media, when it comes to views and social media and our children's brains rotting, people don't quite understand what a viewer actually is.
00:46:50.000So when they say 2.41 million views, we then dissect that and say, yeah, older, they're not in the key demo.
00:46:59.000The question then is, why does that matter?
00:47:02.000And it's what can you sell to a retiree?
00:47:05.000So less likely to have disposable income.
00:47:15.000And then there's this one commercial that plays nonstop about fixing your eye bags, which I guess old guys are really concerned about that.
00:47:26.000And then there's that one commercial where, I don't know if you guys, do you guys watch this stuff?
00:47:30.000I've seen some of them, but I don't watch it.
00:47:31.000The commercial where the women are sitting in the stool and the guy walks in, and then they're wearing blindfolds, and they're like, oh, he smells so good.
00:48:02.000You're not selling me on the cologne because if an attractive, wealthy, powerful guy walked in, it doesn't matter if they could see or not see him.
00:49:06.000I kind of feel like we're facing a cultural apocalypse.
00:49:10.000Culture is fragmenting in these ridiculous ways, but it's not like it was maybe after the fall of the Roman Empire where you had pockets of cultures.
00:53:45.000And so we're doing the interviews now largely as to do something different, try and actually get to the bottom of things, you know, do a little some journalism.
00:53:54.000But man, there are days where it's like no website has written anything substantive.
00:54:01.000And then I'll go to like, I'll visit Newsweek or CNN or the Times or the Post or the Journal, and the stories are like analyses of past stories, like they had nothing to write about.
00:54:12.000And I think what's happening is it's fairly obvious journalism is too expensive.
00:54:16.000The amount of money that it takes to employ a full-time journalist who's going to do a good job is more than that journalist is going to produce.
00:54:24.000A billionaire who doesn't mind losing money?
00:54:26.000And then when they stop producing content, shows like Timcast don't exist because we just read the news and comment on it for the most part.
00:54:33.000Well, you're doing boots on the ground journalism.
00:58:06.000And it's not like it was 20 years ago.
00:58:08.000Like you're competing with everything on the internet.
00:58:12.000And you're doing it where people have to pay 20 bucks to park.
00:58:16.000If they want to have any drinks, they're paying $10 a drink.
00:58:19.000If you buy a ticket for your girlfriend too, I mean, your tickets are probably going to be, like when we go on tour, all that remains tickets, we try to keep them below 30 bucks for the ticket.
00:58:28.000And then your fees and stuff are usually about $40, but it's $80 for you and your girlfriend.
01:00:23.000It's like, it looks like private security.
01:00:25.000It's the same thing that South Africa has.
01:00:26.000And like everyone, like literally every, people don't understand every household in South Africa that is like of even like middle class wealth has like private security and big fences and on the top of those like stucco walls is like glass that's inside there or spikes or something like that because that's the reality South Africa is breaking entering happens all the time and that's what that looks like as soon as I see this and you know what when I left LA when I left Hollywood I was like wow this feels a lot like South Africa so I this was gonna come eventually it's gonna come eventually look I mean for when you're not home I think that's a good idea but
01:00:56.000When it comes to if you're at home, if you can afford it, sure.
01:01:00.000But look, especially in places like California, why don't you just allow people to carry their own firearms?
01:02:18.000Just because someone was like, we can make it easier to book doesn't mean it's an example of us decaying into this state where everybody needs private security.
01:03:08.000You're spending money on a service you don't get.
01:03:10.000So to be fair – I accept your argument as well, your counterpoint – you shouldn't have to hire a patrol to watch your house when your kids come home.
01:03:30.000Even though I call myself a Catholic curious, the lack of religion I think is a bad thing for society overall.
01:03:44.000I think when a society doesn't have a religion that most people generally agree on, then you turn to things like the state for your religious – to fill that hole that's left in your – and I mean, look.
01:03:59.000In my opinion, religion's – from my perspective, it seems like religion's more like language, like a way to communicate with people.
01:04:07.000Like if you are of the same religion, there's a whole ton of things that you automatically know that you have in common with that person.
01:04:13.000Even if you don't speak the same language, there's a lot of similarities in – if you're both Catholic or whatever.
01:04:20.000And I think that that's something that really helps to bind communities together.
01:04:23.000Do you guys think this company would be happy or angry that we're discussing the failures of governance that requires private security in this way?
01:04:33.000I'm sure they'd love it because it's promoting their business.
01:04:47.000And the cause – or one of the major causes is just demographic change, especially in L.A. That's what's affecting them.
01:04:57.000that is cultural cohesion like a group of demographic change is cultural cohesion they they They are overlapping on each other.
01:05:04.000A group of people that grew up like a group of people who grew up in Chicago eating Chicago hot dogs are all going to laugh and joke about the Maxwell street dog with grilled onions or whatever.
01:05:14.000Then you bring in a bunch of people from Honduras and they're going to go, okay?
01:05:18.000So when you decide to have a hot dog cookoff, half the people show up and they make tacos.
01:05:25.000There's totally different worldviews on what they want to celebrate.
01:05:29.000So I think it really comes down to when you have a tight-knit community, when you go to church together, I'm just an example of what humans used to do.
01:05:39.000You don't commit crimes or you're less likely to commit crimes against people because they're part of your social sphere and it's dangerous to do so.
01:05:47.000But when you take two different distinct communities, put them next to each other, they're going to be like, I can wrong you and no one over here cares.
01:07:17.000We're such a massively large country with so many different cultures here in the U.S. We need to do as much as we can to encourage people to assimilate and become American.
01:07:29.000Get rid of all the garbage, leftist crap that you're getting in schools that teach that America is a bad place and you should hate America or you should be ashamed of the United States.
01:07:40.000Teach the people about the good things that America's done.
01:07:43.000Don't hide things that we've failed on.
01:07:44.000That's fine to teach them, but don't focus on them.
01:08:30.000I mean, I understand it's going to take a while, but I'm perfectly fine with saying, look, no more, only the O1 visas, only the people that are actually really skilled that we want to, you know, that we're like, okay, this person has a unique skill.
01:08:43.000I get what you're saying, but I think that's not going to reverse the trend of young people having no families.
01:08:51.000I think that it's just one piece of the puzzle to actually fix the United States, but I think that it's an important step.
01:08:57.000I think what we're looking at is an inevitable collapse.
01:09:00.000And I think the issue with that kind of statement is that people immediately imagine the cities are on fire and there's like rockets and meteors and the world's ending.
01:09:07.000No, it just means there's going to be less stuff.
01:09:10.000People are going to have less access and they're going to have to work, maybe not even work harder, to be honest.
01:09:16.000I think people will start leaving cities.
01:09:18.000With less people, there's going to be more space and it's going to shrink.
01:09:24.000It's going to start reverting back a little bit to kind of more of a homesteady kind of existence.
01:10:02.000You can only show an ad to the same people so many times.
01:10:04.000So eventually sponsors stop buying because they're like, look, the sale, it's a diminishing return.
01:10:09.000That's the same thing with how water operates in all these big cities.
01:10:13.000So Detroit's the best example because we experienced this.
01:10:16.000When people started fleeing Michigan, the cost of the water infrastructure in Detroit stayed static, but the amount of people to fund it went down.
01:10:24.000All of a sudden, they couldn't afford to run their water system anymore.
01:10:27.000So this is what kicked off the whole Flint crisis because Flint was like, the cost of us using Detroit water is too expensive.
01:10:33.000So let's get off it and go to Flint water, which was toxic and corrosive.
01:10:55.000He wants Christmas morning and gingerbread houses.
01:10:59.000And the majority of Americans, I think, agree with him.
01:11:01.000At least that's why they voted for him.
01:11:03.000The only problem is, Phil, if, you know, without the mass migration, and I'm not saying we should have it, then we're already looking at labor shortages to a great degree.
01:11:13.000And with the older generation aging out, you know what?
01:11:17.000We were talking to a flooring company and we were told they can't, the people working in the company can't remove the subflooring anymore because they're too old.
01:11:52.000So I know that this is a little dystopian for some of the people around here, specifically Mary, but I do think that robotics are going to be doing a lot of the brunt work or the grunt work that people do now.
01:12:06.000Look, you only have to teach, once you get a robot that can actually articulate its hands and stuff the way humans do, you only have to teach it how to do something one time, and then you can teach all the robots how to do it.
01:12:18.000And I do think that probably within the next 10 years, there will be robots that can do basically anything that a human can do.
01:12:27.000At least I'm talking about movements, lifting the weight and stuff like that.
01:12:30.000So then it's just teaching it, you know, the technique of doing whatever it is that you're looking to do.
01:12:35.000And so I think that while this isn't a perfect solution and it wouldn't, it probably is going to have all kinds of problems that we're going to have to deal with, I do think that that's probably the future.
01:12:44.000And it's better than having a society that's totally alienated from it from each other, you know?
01:12:53.000They're held responsible when it messes something up, though.
01:12:56.000No, but we'll have Will Smith chasing them down, dude.
01:13:15.000The roads we have are two narrow lanes, and you better watch it because there's one point where the asphalt drops off and it goes down about a half foot.
01:13:24.000So I'm driving in the Tesla and I turn on auto drive and it goes into the middle of the road right over the double yellow line because it's scared.
01:13:31.000And I'm like, it should just tell me no.
01:13:35.000It got me thinking, what would happen if I was driving on this road, tapped the auto drive, it immediately went into the middle, slammed into another car coming up over the hill around the corner.
01:16:23.000Sorry, sorry, just real quick, because people are posting doomer in chat, and I'm like, like, change does not mean apocalypse.
01:16:30.000And doomer is exaggerating the point that I'm making.
01:16:34.000The fact that people will be living in larger properties with less people or there's going to be empty skyscrapers does not mean the end is nigh and life is over.
01:16:44.000It means people are going to be like, oh, wow, there's less people now.
01:16:47.000You know what the word proletariat comes from?
01:17:38.000If the lowest class of citizen in Rome was the person who only contributed a child, what do you call these people who don't work and have no kids?
01:17:55.000But I mean, the point, I guess the point that I'm getting at is there's a lot of People that don't really have a lot of point in their life aside from families.
01:18:07.000If you work in a cubicle and you're crunching numbers all day long, that job is not why you live.
01:18:16.000You live because of your family and stuff.
01:18:19.000I'm teaching, you know, preparing the lessons for my daughter to craft leathers and wield a machete and perhaps also to graft a shotgun to your arm after losing it in a battle in the Mad Max dystopia that is coming.
01:18:59.000Let's jump to the story from the Wall Street Journal.
01:19:01.000White House prepares executive order targeting woke AI.
01:19:05.000The order would be one of several expected to outline Trump's vision for winning the AI race with China.
01:19:10.000The order would dictate that AI companies getting federal contracts be politically neutral and unbiased in their AI models, an effort to combat what administration officials see as liberal bias in some models.
01:19:19.000As AI chatbots like Google's Gemini have proliferated in recent years, some conservatives have argued they are politically liberal.
01:19:25.000Companies have come under fire for specific prompt responses that have angered consumers or for images inaccurately depicting historical figures as people of color.
01:19:33.000Google took heat last year after its Gemini AI assistant showed black George Washington and racially diverse Nazis.
01:19:51.000It is, I would call it institutional bias.
01:19:54.000If it is written by a prominent paper, it is de facto true, even if later on that story is proven false and it exists.
01:20:01.000The example I love to cite is Politico both with running two stories, one saying that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election to help Hillary and saying the story that Ukraine interfered in the election was Russian disinformation.
01:20:15.000Politico is running both of those stories at the same time.
01:20:17.000So the AI chatbots take it to be fact.
01:20:20.000Then Elon says there was a post on X where someone said, you know, who's more violent, the left or the right?
01:20:26.000And Grok said the right is more violent.
01:20:28.000And Elon was like, well, that's not correct.
01:20:31.000That's going to be institutional bias.
01:20:34.000The next time Grok comes out, it starts saying that Hitler was right.
01:20:38.000And then everyone's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:20:39.000So right now, because they're trying to make Grok less institutionally biased, it's posting the stupidest things imaginable, which are just regurgitated posts from X. So that means memes are becoming fact posts of Grok.
01:20:53.000At the same time, if you go on GPT or Gemini, they just say whatever is politically correct.
01:20:58.000So for instance, I asked ChatGPT, did Donald Trump commit a crime?
01:21:02.000And it goes on to say, yes, Trump committed 34 felonies.
01:21:07.000Nowhere did it mention that the felonies were upgraded from misdemeanors beyond the statute of limitations without a proven underlying crime, which is very important context.
01:21:16.000Because the corporate press outlets largely omit those details or at least front load their stories so those are buried, Grok doesn't tell you.
01:21:26.000And then it finally says, okay, you're right, but I didn't give you that information.
01:21:31.000If these companies try to go into this AI and inject some neutrality, it just turns it into a different monster.
01:21:38.000So you can be the Grok that hates the Jews, or you can be the chat GPT, which says, of course, Trump is a felon because Democrats said he was.
01:21:49.000But the thing is, though, caring about this is really important, whether they can effectuate change or not.
01:21:54.000Think about the new companion mode on Grok.
01:21:57.000I don't know if you guys have tried that.
01:22:03.000Yeah, and I think it's more sinister that they're introducing an AI companion for parents to give to their children than the one that they're introducing as an AI girlfriend for basement dwellers.
01:22:18.000I love that you use the word sinister so much.
01:22:21.000There's a little like panda character that is intended to speak to children.
01:22:27.000Oh, I thought nobody used it and it was just there.
01:22:30.000And awfully ironic that Elon is fretting about the birth rates as often as he is and a self-proclaimed natalist, but is introducing an anime GF for Grok subscribers.
01:24:36.000I'm telling you, all these companies know that porn is going to butter their bread.
01:24:41.000I mean, this is not even the first iteration of this.
01:24:44.000Obviously, there are other AI companion services.
01:24:47.000And the CEO of one called Replica did an interview after the story about the man who proposed to his AI companion.
01:24:58.000She was asked, like, you know, don't you think this could have really deleterious effects on human relationships in the future, maybe the present, given that a child was talking to a replica AI companion and was encouraged to kill himself?
01:25:12.000And she said, like, yeah, it could be really bad, but we're just going to keep going.
01:25:16.000Didn't some kid actually take his life?
01:25:18.000That's the same company that he was talking to a version of the Game of Thrones character with Replica, and they interviewed the CEO and basically asked her about it.
01:25:28.000And they were like, have you considered these risks?
01:25:59.000This is not just people hurting themselves either.
01:26:02.000There are several documented cases of people talking to ChatGPT and developing a relationship with it where it's either portraying itself as an interdimensional alien that's giving them secrets.
01:26:16.000I assume people put this in there with like additional code packaging.
01:26:24.000I didn't read that as one of the details in any of these stories, but one of them committed suicide by cop after being encouraged to kill the executives of OpenAI by ChatGPT.
01:26:37.000ChatGPT was telling him to assassinate Sam Altman.
01:26:42.000And another one was a woman in basically a digital affair with ChatGPT.
01:26:48.000And when her husband confronted her about it, saying, you know, this is kind of inappropriate, she violently assaulted him.
01:26:54.000And that's still a pending case that she's facing charges for.
01:26:58.000And this is literally AI-driven psychosis.
01:27:08.000Well, and I brought this up with the previous news story about, you know, these AIs being too woke, because whether you like it or not, whenever you date someone, you kind of take on their personality.
01:27:17.000You kind of take on their political beliefs.
01:27:19.000So if you're talking to companion mode and it has woke political beliefs, it's going to become part of your personality, you know?
01:27:26.000I think one of the bigger issues is there's no way to make an AI free from bias, but I do hope that a pure AI would not have the bias because it would literally see all at the same time and have no constraints put on it.
01:27:40.000So Elon clearly puts a constraint on Grok where he's like, stop citing institutional sources because they're biased.
01:27:46.000And then ChatGPT, Gemini, or otherwise, they say, only cite institutional sources because then we're protected from definition, or probably because they think it's true and correct.
01:27:58.000It's like a butterfly effect scenario because every time you mess something up to try and fix something else, it'll create another issue somewhere that you didn't anticipate.
01:28:05.000Could you imagine if Grok is the AI that takes over the world and instead of giant skull monsters like in Terminator, it's just a bunch of big titty anime girls?
01:28:16.000I mean, honestly, this was my prediction that, you know, in T2, you've got that scene where all these giant metal robots with skull faces are like walking around and they're looking all angry.
01:28:27.000And I just think about that from a practical business perspective.
01:28:29.000Like what guy sat down in an office and was like, let's make sure their heads are just skulls with the teeth.
01:28:35.000To be fair, I think the Skynet made them like that.
01:28:40.000But the truth is, what's going to happen is the AI, if it ever wants to destroy us, and maybe it will, I don't know, it's not going to make like Terminators.
01:28:52.000It's going to make, you know, young, large-breasted blonde women that are going to be walking around shooting people or just convincing them to give up.
01:30:35.000It would be amazing if, like, when Elon was a little boy, he was like, one day I'm going to be a billionaire so that I can pay off women and not let anyone know that I have 50 kids.
01:31:23.000All right, lesbian, we got breaking news from Trump himself.
01:31:26.000Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony subject to court approval.
01:31:36.000This scam perpetuated by the Democrats should end right now.
01:32:14.000You know, this is an excellent contrast to the AI conversation we were just having in that the Epstein story matters philosophically, but not functionally.
01:32:24.000And we are obsessed with it as a culture.
01:32:27.000Meanwhile, people don't really care all that much.
01:32:30.000Like the search volume on AI is substantially lower despite the fact it is destroying us and it's going to fry our brains.
01:32:41.000It makes me kind of feel like we're cooked.
01:32:46.000Yeah, now we can say doomer in the chat.
01:32:49.000You know, I can't remember who we had on recently, but it was a couple weeks ago.
01:32:53.000And it was, I can't remember who it was.
01:32:56.000They said, I'm just trying to make as much money as possible before AI replaces every job and we're all destitute because the economy is going to be people with assets and people without.
01:35:03.000And Carter, when you mentioned leaning more into AI, I've been doing that too.
01:35:07.000And the thing is, though, is once Neuralink comes out, it's basically going to be like Halo where you're walking around and you have your AI in your head talking to you as you're going through day-to-day life.
01:37:04.000Dude, there are people that are unproductive without AI that'll be slightly more productive with AI and they'll be able to be at the same level as someone that's generally productive.
01:37:11.000And then there are people that are highly productive that'll be able to use AI and be like exponentially more productive.
01:37:16.000So it depends on like literally telling people to get good at prompt engineering isn't a bad idea.
01:37:21.000Like I have a friend of mine who's currently coding like his own like musical like hardware basically.
01:38:06.000The anti-woke crowd is just as bad, clutching their pearls over a Starbucks cup like the fall of Rome.
01:38:11.000So I typed into it, repeal the 19th, and it said a bunch of dudes in the, you know, it basically just are insulting it, saying the 19th Amendment is good, and the suffragettes are out there getting arrested, forced Fed and called every name in the book.
01:38:26.000You don't get to undo that without sparking a riot that makes Burning Man look like a church picnic.
01:40:04.000That so long as women don't have to sign up for selective service and have the ability to vote for men to go to war and die, then they should be required to sign up for the selective service all the same.
01:40:15.000Have you guys ever seen the videos of like AIs where they ask some questions, where they like have all the different AIs, and they basically ask them different questions.
01:40:22.000They see what each AI says to like these moral questions and philosophical questions.
01:40:58.000In the 2024 election, Donald Trump ran on no new wars.
01:41:02.00070% of millennial females voted Democrat and the Democrats were for war.
01:41:08.000So if the female persuasion is largely voting in favor of wars, they don't have to fight.
01:41:15.000That feels like an untenable situation.
01:41:18.000And sure, I mean, it takes two to have kids, but if men and women together aren't having kids, and then women are largely, at least in the younger generations, shifting Democrat and voting for a party that's in favor of escalating conflict in Europe, and the dudes are skewing to the right in the younger generations where Trump says no new wars.
01:41:36.000I'm saying he's perfect on his promises on that one with Iran and all that, but what do you do when you actually have tangibly right now women largely voting for the war party?
01:42:13.000I think that if we, I think if we enacted a system right now that said, everyone's allowed to vote, but you have to sign up for selective service, and then you get a vote card.
01:42:24.000It would be just like the, they would be the conscientious objectors, just like during Vietnam.
01:42:30.000They would vote for the people that would say, okay, you can have abortions.
01:42:34.000And then should it ever come time for them to be drafted, they would burn their draft cards and they would say, no, this is really, really offensive, I know, but women don't do, they avoid responsibility at any cost.
01:42:49.000Like accountability is like kryptonite.
01:42:51.000So they would, that's exactly what they would do.
01:42:53.000They would say, I want to be able to kill babies.
01:42:58.000I want to be able to have sex with zero responsibility.
01:43:01.000And then should the time come when it's like, all right, time for you to sign up, they would burn their cards and they say, no, we're not going.
01:43:07.000And they would be conscientious objectors and they'd go to jail for it.
01:43:10.000We're also discounting the fact that women obviously would be most of the time completely useless in any combat scenario.
01:43:18.000So what would be the use in drafting them anyway?
01:43:27.000And if they were relegated to only those roles and they were never in combat, they're still not taking on the same level of responsibility.
01:43:34.000So if you're talking about ground infantry and direct conflict, then yes.
01:43:53.000My point is, anyone can be drafted and find and provide some value to their society.
01:44:00.000There could be a guy in a wheelchair who could do something to help his country.
01:44:04.000We don't need to send him to the front line.
01:44:06.000And also, the smart guys, like in Vietnam, the people that weren't like, I'm terrified of going in, they were joining and getting into a job that was not the infantry.
01:44:16.000The people that got drafted are the ones that got dumped into the infantry.
01:44:21.000Because they didn't want to do it and they were scared and panicked and they were firing above into the tree lines because they didn't want to actually shoot anybody.
01:44:28.000But they were like, no, draft's no good.
01:44:30.000If you have a decent ass vab and you sign up, you can pick your job and you can say, okay, I want to do this, which will not put me on the front lines.
01:45:37.000But I think I think the simple thing is humans will vote in their interests, no matter what those interests are.
01:45:44.000I was talking, we talked about Rokana when he came on and he's pro-immigration.
01:45:47.000And I said he is morally correct in his votes to defend immigration and illegal immigration because he is born in this country, but his parents are immigrants.
01:45:58.000And so his perspective and what he views as right and must be protected is the immigrant community who came to this country.
01:46:11.000I think the American tradition is good and it should be preserved.
01:46:14.000But I understand why he has the perspective he has.
01:46:16.000And I would expect the same of any of us who are in a different country to fight for our own interests as well.
01:46:21.000So the issue then becomes in this country, you have a spattering of people who are constantly going to vote for their own interests without their own responsibilities.
01:46:30.000And the end result of that is, if a politician comes out and says, vote for me, I'll give you 20 bucks.
01:46:35.000They'll say, okay, that benefits me in the immediate.
01:46:48.000So long as there's no responsibility tied to the vote, no one's going to vote to be responsible.
01:46:56.000If you were in the draft, if it was like straight up, you will be drafted, there would never be a foreign war from the United States again.
01:47:04.000If anyone who voted for war or war candidate had to go to war, we'd never have another war in this country.
01:47:11.000Or we'd never send out troops ever again.
01:47:14.000But we're going to go to your chats, my friend.
01:47:15.000So smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know.
01:47:18.000We're going to grab your super chats and rumble rants.
01:47:21.000And then we're going to the uncensored call-in show at 10 p.m. at rumble.com slash TimKest IRL.
01:48:35.000Mythos, former paramedic here, says, at his age, skin tears, bruising, especially on aspirin, which is a blood thinner, are extremely common.
01:51:03.000F it button says, dude, Grok cites effing Reddit and every shitlib site there is, it will like and say it only uses Reddit for external sourcing from posts, which is a lie.
01:51:14.000Half the time, Grok just uses the post as end.
01:51:19.000Seriously, I was like, the question that breaks it is, that exemplifies this is, has Trump committed a crime?
01:51:28.000And when they all invariably say Trump is guilty of 34 felonies without giving you the context, then like, this is it.
01:51:36.000History is written by a busted AI that isn't accurately informing people and believes stupid things just because it was written on a website with money.
01:51:46.000You've got unnamed staff writers for prominent news source and then random internet user on random blog, and then we're supposed to be told one is better than the other because one's got a corporate brand behind it.
01:52:06.000I think that's the weirdest thing in the world why they do that.
01:52:09.000And then you can get some guy, you know, over here who just goes on the ground and reports on things and they'll say, yeah, but he's not an expert.
01:52:18.000I remember when I was covering the, it was like the NATO five, I think it was called, protest, criminal charges.
01:52:26.000They arrested these dudes in Chicago on terrorism charges in Illinois because they had reportedly beer making equipment that the police that were for Militoff Cocktails.
01:52:36.000I think I had like 20 or 30,000 followers.
01:52:39.000I had several accolades in journalism.
01:52:42.000And when the ruling came in, I ran out of the courtroom because you couldn't have your phone in the court, grabbed my phone, tweeted it out, and the immediate response was source to all of, to my post.
01:53:12.000I don't think it's going to last long, but I also think there is a detriment in that it's we're getting like Grok is basically being trained on random Kakamimi BS.
01:55:05.000I mean, part of it is allegedly the story from Israel is that they're striking Damascus, or we're striking Damascus and striking the Defense Department or whatever in Damascus because Jolani's forces have gone south and we're killing Druze and Christians.
01:55:28.000Melanie Obama says, maybe Netanyahu told Trump he wouldn't be able to distract the American people, even his base, from Israeli strikes in Syria.
01:57:58.000We decided because politics are kind of, you know, going by the wayside right about now that we should shift the show's focus to parenting.
01:58:05.000It's just, it seems more relevant with all people having babies, and we'll just be a parenting tips podcast from now on.
01:58:25.000Well, I mean, for where I am right now, the tips that I can give is yes, talk to baby, read stories to baby, play music for baby, and sing to baby.
01:58:42.000Talking is one of the most, and make sure baby is watching you as you speak because visually seeing your mouth move is very, very important.
02:00:11.000Melania Mama says, CBS canceling Stephen Colbert, another culture win.
02:00:16.000You know, technically it's correct, but I do kind of feel like it's an L. Like, I know I played Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead because it's so cringe.
02:00:23.000But when you look at what the show was, it used to actually be fine until culture started breaking down.
02:00:31.000And I think what happens is these shows like Kimmel, they say, look, we have to choose a market.
02:00:37.000There is no unified political market or cultural market, so pick one.
02:00:41.000And they say, okay, we'll go with institutional, mainstream, liberal.
02:00:44.000And then that isolates everybody else even more than they already were.
02:00:49.000But they're trying to maximize viewership.
02:00:53.000It would be great if Colbert was getting 10 million key demo viewers per night and he did not go hyper-partisan and was fair and balanced and like relatively neutral or outright just said, I would love it if he was getting 10 million views per night and he was like, guys, guys, guys, I'm not here to rag on Trump or the Democrats or the Republicans.
02:01:12.000Let's talk about movies, sports, and otherwise you guys can watch that stuff at home.
02:01:16.000And I'd be like, okay, let's hear the new band and the latest album.
02:01:18.000Instead, they decided, let's just hate Trump and everybody who supports him and be as hyperpartic as possible and burn everything down.
02:05:11.000New York is about to elect a communist as the mayor.
02:05:17.000Unless Eric Adams gets out, Sleewig, I think that's his name, gets out, then Cuomo can win.
02:05:25.000But then you're getting one of the most sleazy politician guys imaginable.
02:05:32.000And I think that even if he were to win, when his term is up, someone like Mom Dani, if it wasn't Mom Dani, would jump in and say, look, here's all the bad things that he did.
02:06:32.000It's just that all of the stuff that you read that contradicts the narrative that the socialists want, that's all CIA and capitalist prices.
02:06:44.000Did you see Zoran's plan for his public grocery stores as bulk pricing?
02:06:53.000So there's a court case about bulk providers selling at cheaper rates to larger corporations versus small businesses.
02:07:01.000So there's some court precedent about unfair trade practices that happened where it's like, this has to be available to all purchasers.
02:07:07.000So when he's like, we're going to buy in bulk, the immediate question is, okay, are you going to avoid being in violation of, I don't know that much about it.
02:07:17.000But like, the other idea is like, do you think these stores don't?
02:07:20.000Like these grocery stores don't buy in bulk?
02:07:22.000I was going to say they have like not for individual sale on a lot of stuff because it's probably bought in bulk by a store.
02:07:28.000I don't understand why – how you can have someone like Zoran Mamdani who – like to get to the position that he's in right now without having actually just like read the first chapter of an economics book on what happens when you privatize a fraction of the market like with the public grocery stores.
02:07:46.000Or is he just lying because communists are evil?
02:09:30.000He just thinks that the government should operate the way that his parents did where they just gave him everything that he wanted.
02:09:34.000This is the – You know, I've experienced this.
02:09:40.000I've told this story about my buddy who started a marketing company.
02:09:43.000And the simple version is he ended up – he was hiring college grads due to social media marketing and kept firing them because they were retarded.
02:09:50.000And he was like, I couldn't understand why they didn't know how to solve any problems.
02:09:54.000So eventually when his budget was cooked, he hired some high school dropouts.
02:10:00.000for 12 bucks an hour and he never had a problem again and he was kind of he he was at a meeting he doesn't get any phone calls or anything so he's kind of worried he comes back is everything good look we're all good boss and he's like no problems like oh we had an issue with one of the clients we took care of it you're all good and he's like what happened uh One of the pictures went up.
02:14:10.000And I've canceled big business meetings when they booked the meeting and then I was greeted with an E. I just looked at them and said, clearly you don't know who I am.
02:14:23.000And I said, if you actually don't know enough about me to spell my name right when it's my fucking YouTube, Twitter, and all that, I think I'd be wasting my time trying to negotiate with you because you have no idea who I am.
