00:02:40.000 So, the other night, the progressive in Wisconsin, who was polling double digits ahead of the establishment counterpart, lost by about 0.5%.
00:02:54.000 And immediately, everybody's reaction is, what is up with these polls?
00:02:59.000 El Sayed in Michigan was up in some polls 20 points and then barely won.
00:03:06.000 Now, here's where it gets funny.
00:03:08.000 Now, initially, if you guys watched my earlier segment, my edit on this whole thing was.
00:03:12.000 Yeah, the polls have always been wrong.
00:03:14.000 They skew heavily towards activists because activists are trying to influence these things.
00:03:18.000 So it makes sense.
00:03:20.000 Except when you look at the 3 a.m. footage that started going viral of Cornacki on NBC, when he's trying to wrap his head around a 3 a.m. ballot dump, which flipped the election, giving it to the establishment.
00:03:32.000 And he has no words.
00:03:34.000 And he's standing there confused.
00:03:36.000 And he's like, How do I say this?
00:03:38.000 And immediately everyone, the populist left, who wanted the progressive to win, and every Trump supporter, They were laughing because they're like, dude, can't say on NBC News they stole it.
00:03:51.000 Now, we don't know if they actually stole it, but the story is apparently there were like nine USB drives containing the election data.
00:03:57.000 Five of them were incorrect and had to be sent back and checked again.
00:04:02.000 And when they were, the data was apparently different.
00:04:05.000 I guess this is a story.
00:04:06.000 It's kind of hard to sift through, but it is absolutely fascinating to watch.
00:04:10.000 Now, currently, the official discussion, which again may still be the case, is that, guys, the polls were just wrong.
00:04:19.000 And of course, People don't like socialists.
00:04:21.000 We've gone over all the polling data over and over again on this show.
00:04:24.000 People prefer Republicans over DSA.
00:04:28.000 DSA has their strong base in certain elections, and they have done well, but they've also done poorly in some areas.
00:04:33.000 In Illinois, they lost.
00:04:34.000 This is Wisconsin.
00:04:35.000 It's not surprising that she actually didn't do that well because a lot of people were wondering how she was doing well to begin with when she said she wanted to ban Thanksgiving.
00:04:42.000 And she said a bunch of other weird things like that.
00:04:45.000 Like she posted something about being balls deep in bourbon, I guess.
00:04:48.000 Is that what?
00:04:48.000 I don't know.
00:04:48.000 Whatever.
00:04:49.000 So people are like, how is she polling so well?
00:04:52.000 We're going to go, we're going to break this one down.
00:04:54.000 We'll rip through this one.
00:04:55.000 We'll talk about that.
00:04:57.000 And the other big news is that one of the heads of the Southern Poverty Law Center has been arrested, criminally charged for fraud.
00:05:05.000 So this is massive.
00:05:06.000 And then, of course, Karen Levitt stepping down as press secretary.
00:05:09.000 That's a bit of a blur, but we'll get into that stuff and talk about everything.

00:07:09.000 Doing good as well.
00:07:12.000 Glad to have you both here.
00:07:13.000 So let's get into it.
00:07:15.000 Right on.
00:07:15.000 Here's the story from Mediaites.
00:07:18.000 Are you serious?
00:07:19.000 NBC data guru Steve Cornacki visibly shaken by election night madness in Francesca Hong race.
00:07:29.000 I absolutely love this story.
00:07:31.000 So we got a couple things to break down, and we'll jump to this one second.
00:07:33.000 But this is from Mediaite as well.
00:07:35.000 It's blowing up.
00:07:36.000 Look at all these comments.
00:07:37.000 WTF is up with these polls.
00:07:39.000 Experts flummoxed by stunning 20 point misfire.
00:07:44.000 In the Wisconsin primary.
00:07:46.000 Now, how is it?
00:07:48.000 David Marcus says, Can we stop obeying the polls?
00:07:50.000 This is grotesque.
00:07:52.000 I have to wonder.
00:07:55.000 You can see this in the polls.
00:07:56.000 Hong was up 18, 22, 20, 13, 11, 3, 1, 8, 13, 2.
00:08:01.000 She was up in every single poll going back to last year.
00:08:06.000 She's been the favorite.
00:08:08.000 Then, when it finally came down to it, she loses.
00:08:11.000 We've got the results right here.
00:08:13.000 David Crowley wins by 0.5 of a percent.
00:08:18.000 Beating her out by just around 3,000, it was like 3,900 or so.
00:08:23.000 He's visibly shaken.
00:08:24.000 Okay, let's play this clip after all this goes down.
00:08:28.000 Watch this.
00:08:30.000 Yeah.
00:08:32.000 Yeah.
00:08:38.000 Here's the thing.
00:08:44.000 Yeah, he's literally, I didn't pause it.
00:08:46.000 That's crazy.
00:08:46.000 I thought I was literally just standing there.
00:08:49.000 But I don't have the thing.
00:08:50.000 Here's let's let's let's look at it this way.
00:08:58.000 Um, we're kind of indefinitely waiting for them to get their act together here and get the sticks and bring them back.
00:09:06.000 I love going on camera.
00:09:07.000 We've got folks here who are working, yeah, really great.
00:09:12.000 And working, I don't think we want to, you know, keep them here to um.
00:09:22.000 This could go 90 minutes, and it's 90 minutes of me saying, Have you heard of any other athletes running for Congress?
00:09:34.000 It's such a.
00:09:36.000 It's like we've.
00:09:38.000 I know we've come so far here.
00:09:39.000 Look at the lines crossed out.
00:09:42.000 He doesn't know what Milwaukee is doing.
00:09:44.000 It's been an unbelievably interesting and an intense night here.
00:09:54.000 And it really is.
00:09:56.000 Coming down to this one giant update in Milwaukee.
00:10:01.000 But man, we waited 90 minutes for them.
00:10:08.000 They did this whole procession, and then they find out there's nothing on the sticks.
00:10:14.000 And yeah, so.
00:10:16.000 So this is Milwaukee voting data, right?
00:10:19.000 Nine USB drives containing the ballots.
00:10:23.000 And I think people are saying it's something like 20,000 missing ballots.
00:10:25.000 I don't know the exact number.
00:10:27.000 Five of them were blank.
00:10:28.000 And so this dude on NBC is literally like, uh, Hong was winning.
00:10:34.000 And then all of a sudden she was not winning.
00:10:37.000 It's just my way of saying that I'm just trying to say the audience here, so I'm not abruptly ending on them, just why we're doing this, because the audience has been with us for four, six hours in some cases for this moment that didn't happen.
00:10:58.000 And so, folks, I think we are going to wrap it here for the reasons we're saying here.
00:11:05.000 Okay, you guys get it, right?
00:11:07.000 So, here's the story.
00:11:10.000 Socialists are furious, says Eric Doherty.
00:11:13.000 Human error in Milwaukee after midnight causes five USB sticks to not have election results on them.
00:11:20.000 So officials went back and fixed the data, uploaded it, and the socialist then narrowly lost by a few thousand votes.
00:11:28.000 Dude, she was narrowly ahead, right?
00:11:30.000 I think we actually have this in the video here.
00:11:33.000 Is she right behind him?
00:11:37.000 814,000.
00:11:40.000 There was a point in the night where she was ahead a little bit.
00:11:43.000 And then something happens.
00:11:45.000 Is our new expected vote for this primary.
00:11:49.000 And he's like, wait, what happened?
00:11:50.000 Yeah, okay, wait, hold on.
00:11:51.000 If we go back a few minutes.
00:11:53.000 I hear an 81 precincts reporting on their website.
00:11:56.000 270, say again.
00:11:58.000 So if you jump back only a couple of minutes before he went nuts, Hong was up, or I was tied, too close to call.
00:12:06.000 She was slightly ahead for a while.
00:12:09.000 And then you get this, yeah, there's that, okay, that point.
00:12:13.000 And then you jump ahead, and I don't know.
00:12:16.000 Let's.
00:12:17.000 It's pretty wild, but I want to play more about the USB sticks.
00:12:24.000 Listen to this from Milwaukee.log and the results.
00:12:27.000 What we uncovered was that five of the sticks had the audit log downloaded and not the results.
00:12:33.000 It's a human error.
00:12:35.000 These things can happen.
00:12:37.000 So basically, what we need to do is go back to the operations center and we're going to download out of those five machines the results and make sure that's not the audit log.
00:12:49.000 So we have the Reports printed from the first download.
00:12:52.000 We're going to reprint and start the process so that we can compare those results.
00:12:56.000 We invite you to come join us.
00:12:57.000 The police department will come with us too.
00:13:00.000 And so we'll re download those results and then send them back here to be uploaded.
00:13:06.000 Now it's entirely possible this is, look, it's a primary for the Democrats.
00:13:06.000 Okay.
00:13:12.000 So people on the right who are traumatized and angry over elections when Trump loses and things like this are going to be like, yeah, they cheated.
00:13:18.000 Socialists who wanted to win are going to be like, yeah, they cheated.
00:13:21.000 But it's entirely possible they didn't cheat.
00:13:23.000 And it literally is just a single error in Milwaukee.
00:13:27.000 But I do want to point out one thing.
00:13:31.000 I have a question for you guys.
00:13:32.000 So this was a Milwaukee error.
00:13:34.000 The guy who won, his name is David Crowley.
00:13:38.000 He's a county executive.
00:13:39.000 Anyone want to take a stab at which county he's an executive of?
00:13:43.000 I wonder if it's Milwaukee County.
00:13:46.000 It would be, in fact, Milwaukee County.
00:13:54.000 The Democratic Socialists, who is behind in the polls, double digits, had a what some people describe as a fortuitous error in Milwaukee, which, you know, we just don't know what happened to those ballots.
00:14:07.000 And I guess Crowley wins.
00:14:09.000 It's pretty clear that Republicans need to run Democrat elections because Democrats have no idea how to run elections at all.
00:14:16.000 So I want to tell you again.
00:14:19.000 Not that Republicans are perfect, but the Republicans seem less likely to cheat because.
00:14:25.000 Just real quick, I assure you the narrative is going to come out.
00:14:30.000 The story is going to be they never actually lost the voting data.
00:14:33.000 It was a single blip that they went, checked it, it was correct, and you're all conspiracy theorists.
00:14:40.000 Yeah, they're going to come back and be like, look, there was an error in the sticks.
00:14:40.000 And trust us.
00:14:43.000 We fixed it.
00:14:44.000 What's the significance of Milwaukee County?
00:14:45.000 I think this guy being a Milwaukee County guy.
00:14:47.000 That's where it happened.
00:14:48.000 That's where the ballots were missing from.
00:14:51.000 I mean, look.
00:14:53.000 Like, I'm sorry, dude.
00:14:54.000 That's if there was like, okay, if a guy lived in a certain street and then like he was trying to buy a plot of land from another guy and then that guy, and like they were.
00:15:08.000 Pretty contentious, and then that guy turned up dead.
00:15:10.000 Like, I, you got a principal suspect here, you know what I mean?
00:15:14.000 And like, your mail gets stolen, it's not doesn't implicate the mailman, but a mailman would have a real easy time stealing mail.
00:15:20.000 I think you're supposed to scan it and stuff.
00:15:22.000 What's that?
00:15:23.000 Just not delivering it.
00:15:24.000 You assume because he's a public servant that he wouldn't do that.
00:15:26.000 I mean, how could you ever do evil if you're serving the public?
00:15:31.000 Very easily, apparently.
00:15:32.000 I mean, oh, wait, there's more videos.
00:15:32.000 That's why we trust.
00:15:35.000 Be like, let me pull this one up.
00:15:39.000 Are you serious?
00:15:40.000 Yeah.
00:15:41.000 They have to.
00:15:42.000 What were you doing?
00:15:45.000 Okay.
00:15:46.000 This is great.
00:15:47.000 Listen.
00:15:47.000 Got to get this guy to show.
00:15:48.000 So here's what I think Milwaukee is going to be densely progressive.
00:15:52.000 It's an urban center.
00:15:54.000 There's another video.
00:15:55.000 There's so many videos of this guy.
00:15:57.000 We don't have all of them pulled up.
00:15:58.000 One of them is where the dude's stuttering and stammering, trying to figure out how it is that Hong lost, considering he's like, is there some kind of urban center somewhere?
00:16:08.000 He can't.
00:16:09.000 Wrap his head around all the counties that should not have given Crowley the win, and it did.
00:16:15.000 Milwaukee is likely heavy progressive, and those five sticks had nothing on them.
00:16:22.000 I mean, look, it's hilarious.
00:16:24.000 It's just, in my opinion, it's just a hilarious clown show.
00:16:29.000 You know, whether the Democrats are not having primaries or installing their preferred candidate through, I guess, fortuitous.
00:16:41.000 Circumstances for the candidate in question.
00:16:46.000 This isn't something that's surprising to anybody anymore.
00:16:49.000 And this goes to the fact that, or plays into the whole, we don't trust people in the system anymore.
00:16:56.000 The disillusion with government is not just a right wing thing.
00:17:02.000 The left has plenty of people that don't trust the government.
00:17:04.000 And these kind of things break down the trust in our institutions.
00:17:09.000 It only gets worse and worse and worse.
00:17:10.000 What's even crazier about this situation is.
00:17:12.000 As you might remember, this is not the first time this has happened in Milwaukee County.
00:17:16.000 It's not the second time it's happened in Milwaukee County.
00:17:18.000 It's the third time in a row, 2020, 2024, and now again, where there's been a human error.
00:17:24.000 And each time it was not a machine error, it was a human error.
00:17:27.000 And so, in the very best case scenario, it's just sheer human incompetence in these Democratic run cities where they're not able to actually do their job.
00:17:36.000 Sure about that.
00:17:37.000 Well, I said very best case scenario.
00:17:40.000 But I mean, look, at the end of the day, to your point, people have a reason to mistrust government when they see stories like this, and it's not going to help.
00:17:47.000 Yep.
00:17:48.000 I think people are tending now to distrust technology in some ways.
00:17:53.000 And there are some really good technocrats.
00:17:55.000 Here's the question.
00:17:56.000 Here's the question.
00:17:57.000 Would we be mad if they stopped the socialists from winning?
00:18:01.000 I mean, she said before she wanted to abolish Thanksgiving.
00:18:04.000 Do we want her getting anywhere near seats of power?
00:18:06.000 No.
00:18:07.000 I'm of two minds.
00:18:09.000 And those are?
00:18:11.000 Well, first of all, obviously, I want to keep the far left out of positions of influence.
00:18:17.000 But at the same time, seeing as we have Mom Dhani, we have the socialist mayor in Seattle, if we were to get another person that is a far leftist, you will see clearly the difference between normal Republican governors or politicians and leftists.
00:18:40.000 You're going to see it in New York.
00:18:41.000 You're going to see it in Seattle.
00:18:42.000 And you're actually already starting to see it in New York.
00:18:46.000 I just saw something that said that the highest rents now.
00:18:49.000 Are the highest they've ever been $6,700, I think, or something like that $695, something like that.
00:18:55.000 The average?
00:18:56.000 No, the highest per month.
00:18:57.000 But still, the point is, if the highest ones go up, all the other ones go up too.
00:19:05.000 It's because of rent control and stuff like that.
00:19:07.000 These policies don't work, and people need to understand that these promises that the far left makes, they can't deliver on them.
00:19:17.000 So part of me doesn't want to see them win, but part of me wants to see.
00:19:22.000 Them win and fail.
00:19:24.000 So that way, this experiment that's going on with socialist policies, we nip it in the bud.
00:19:32.000 You can tell people all you want that we had the best experiment in Berlin, right?
00:19:39.000 From whatever, after the end of World War II until the wall came down.
00:19:44.000 Same population, same people, same history.
00:19:48.000 And East Berlin had to build a wall to keep people in.
00:19:52.000 The average life expectancy of people in East Berlin versus the people in West Berlin.
00:19:57.000 Was like three or four years shorter in East Berlin, and then after the wall fell within 10 years, the people of East Berlin's life expectancy went up to equal with West Berlin.
00:20:07.000 Like, you had all of these clear problems that socialism causes.
00:20:13.000 You didn't have them in West Berlin, but you had them in East Berlin, and that it was undeniable.
00:20:20.000 It's a part of why, for almost 20 years after the Soviet Union fell, it was just kind of thought as a given socialism doesn't work.
00:20:29.000 Like, there are a few basket case countries or whatever that are still trying it with dictators, but the economic system, the economics of it don't work at all.
00:20:37.000 And now you have people that want to flirt with it again, people that want to try it out again.
00:20:42.000 And I don't want to see a significant battle in the United States, political battle in the United States between the far left and normal people.
00:20:52.000 I want to see that kind of stuff nipped in the bud.
00:20:54.000 Here's my hot take on how Republicans should think about this in competitive places like Wisconsin.
00:21:00.000 It's actually to Republicans' interest for these Democratic socialist candidates to win in the primary because they're much more easily beatable in the general.
00:21:08.000 Now you have an establishment Democrat who might actually put up a really competitive race against Tom Tiffany, but someone that said, I want to cancel Thanksgiving is going to be much more easy to beat.
00:21:17.000 And so in this particular case, it's so much like when the machine went against Bernie in 2016, right?
00:21:24.000 They saw Hillary as the candidate that was more likely to beat the Republican.
00:21:27.000 And so the machine turned against someone like Bernie Sanders.
00:21:31.000 We want, I think, these Democratic Socialists to win primaries in competitive places because it makes it easier for Republicans to win.
00:21:37.000 Although there's the, I think Trump was that they wanted him to be the candidate in 16 because he was going to be easy to beat.
00:21:44.000 I think.
00:21:45.000 I think that was their mindset.
00:21:46.000 So you got to be careful sometimes about installing a demon because the demon's easier to slay.
00:21:50.000 Sometimes they'll win.
00:21:51.000 That's true.
00:21:52.000 They wrote in emails that the DNC that Trump was their Pied Piper candidate, that they would help prop him up because he would lead people astray.
00:22:01.000 Like he would be a candidate who can't win and it would fracture his base essentially.
00:22:05.000 And did the opposite.
00:22:06.000 It's why I haven't outright supported things I don't.
00:22:09.000 I just, I love, you know, I want to say this.
00:22:11.000 I think that strategy from Hillary Clinton really shows how obtuse the Democrats had been on the issue of their own, what's the right word?
00:22:23.000 Reasoning?
00:22:24.000 No, no, no, no.
00:22:25.000 Like, ability to understand how much people hate them.
00:22:30.000 Like, is there a word for that?
00:22:30.000 You know what I mean?
00:22:32.000 So Hillary's going, I got an idea.
00:22:35.000 Let's help Trump be the nominee because people will hate him.
00:22:39.000 And it's like, lady, when you stand next to Donald Trump, he looks like a supermodel.
00:22:45.000 You know, you could have taken any one of these other Democratic candidates.
00:22:49.000 They could have put up Tulsi.
00:22:50.000 Bernie would have done way better.
00:22:52.000 But when you stand, it's like Donald Trump on his own, sure, compared to the way politics had been, some people really liked him, some people didn't like him.
00:23:01.000 And then, you know, you put Donald Trump on the stage and it's polarizing.
00:23:06.000 A lot of people are going to be like, oh man, I like what he's saying, but I just don't like how he says it.
00:23:09.000 I don't know if I could vote for a guy like that.
00:23:12.000 Then Hillary, you know, shuffles over and she goes, and they're like, I'm voting Trump.
00:23:18.000 It's like, you know what you do?
00:23:19.000 Like, if you ever saw an average woman and you want to make her look better, you get an ugly woman to stand next to her.
00:23:24.000 And then everyone's like, by comparison, she's ugly.
00:23:28.000 Yeah, they did.
00:23:29.000 She made Trump look so sexy.
00:23:33.000 No, you know, it's really funny, even in a literal sense, that's true.
00:23:36.000 Yeah, women want him.
00:23:38.000 I'm just saying, like, when you look at how awful Hillary is, Trump is both physically attractive and politically attractive.
00:23:45.000 I guess if Bernie had been the candidate, maybe he would have been the Pied Piper.
00:23:49.000 Like, I would have voted for Bernie.
00:23:50.000 I didn't vote in that.
00:23:51.000 Because I couldn't stand either of those guys at that time.
00:23:53.000 And I didn't understand what Trump, I didn't understand a lot of what was going on with like migration and stuff too that he'd been talking about.
00:23:59.000 Do you not think in today's politics that that dynamic overwhelmingly favors populist right wingers over left wingers?
00:24:06.000 Because like a lot of the things that might be seen as slightly unpalatable or slightly crazy that a right winger would say on like migration or whatever else will resonate more with the average voter than someone that says, I want to cancel Thanksgiving, right?
00:24:19.000 Like I'm not sure it's like an equal dynamic on both the left and the right.
00:24:23.000 No, I think you're right.
00:24:24.000 Like, look, the policies that are populist right nowadays were boilerplate Democrat 25 years ago.
00:24:32.000 You know, like Barack Obama said that we need to deport illegals.
00:24:37.000 Hillary Clinton said that we need to deport illegals.
00:24:40.000 In the 90s, they were talking about building a wall.
00:24:41.000 Like, these things are not actually radical policies.
00:24:47.000 They're very boilerplate nationalist policies.
00:24:50.000 And people generally think of the, like, Americans want to think of the United States as a country.
00:24:57.000 And as a home to them and their children, their progeny, and they want to think of the United States as generally good.
00:25:04.000 So, like, that's not, these aren't some kind of off the wall things.
00:25:07.000 Like, nobody actually, like, no normal people think, oh, police need to be abolished.
00:25:14.000 Right.
00:25:15.000 You know, nobody thinks that.
00:25:16.000 Right.
00:25:17.000 Like, most people are like, no, we could probably give the cops a little more money because, you know, I know a couple cops and they don't make that great money and blah, blah, blah.
00:25:23.000 You know, look, look, this is, it's the brain rot generation, right?
00:25:26.000 So I go on Instagram.
00:25:28.000 And I've been getting, I watch a lot of body camera video footage because it's been popping off.
00:25:34.000 Even like, you know, Aspen Gold's been watching a lot of body cam stuff.
00:25:36.000 Everybody is, there's no news.
00:25:38.000 And it's like watching cops, dude.
00:25:40.000 That show was fun to watch.
00:25:42.000 But here's the thing.
00:25:43.000 Initially, the body camera stuff that I'm getting sent, it's like I watched a video where a lady cop is walking up to a car and a guy pulls a gun on her and she freaks out.
00:25:51.000 And then there's like, she calls for backup and the guy shoots the driver.
00:25:55.000 And you're like, oh, wow, that's crazy.
00:25:57.000 Now I'm getting sent videos where cops are just murdering people.
00:26:00.000 And so you think about what happens to the brain rot generation when they go on Instagram and they're in the carousel content machine.
00:26:08.000 They swipe, and there's one video where a guy gets pulled over for some minor infraction.
00:26:13.000 The cop does a suplex.
00:26:15.000 Yeah.
00:26:17.000 And then when the dude gets up, the cop just draws his gun and shoots him.
00:26:20.000 And so you may have seen this video.
00:26:22.000 It was massively viral.
00:26:23.000 The guy runs for a while and then just collapses and dies.
00:26:26.000 And that cop got in trouble.
00:26:27.000 There's another video where a guy's sleeping.
00:26:29.000 You guys see this one?
00:26:30.000 The cops, these guys are at a hotel, they get trespassed.
00:26:33.000 The cops go in, and the guy's sleeping, and he's hitting them.
00:26:36.000 He's like, wake up, and he's like, blasting the light in his eyes.
00:26:38.000 And the guy's like, out of it.
00:26:39.000 And then he just starts beating the.
00:26:41.000 Out of them, and then the next thing you see, he's like in the jail, just like, and he's like, his face is covered in blood.
00:26:46.000 Apparently, that guy got in trouble.
00:26:49.000 If you're only ever being sent videos of cops just mercilessly beating people illegally, these people with internet brain rot literally think cops are going around doing this.
00:27:00.000 Take a look at what Kathy Griffin posted.
00:27:01.000 You guys see what Kathy Griffin posted?
00:27:02.000 Not lately.
00:27:03.000 Let me pull this one up for you guys because it's gonna make you, it's gonna make you sad.
00:27:06.000 You know, I'm, sad by a lot of this stuff.
00:27:10.000 I tweeted it.
00:27:12.000 Let me see if I can find it.
00:27:13.000 So it wasn't that long ago of that woman.
00:27:15.000 You do?
00:27:16.000 Well, I've watched her career for about 30 years and I appreciate what she did in the early days.
00:27:21.000 Once she pulled a visage of Trump's head out, a bloody stump, I was a little turned off and gave up on her.
00:27:27.000 Did he still look beautiful in the stump?
00:27:28.000 He was hot.
00:27:30.000 It was an erotic photo, I guess is the best word I could think to describe it erotic.
00:27:34.000 And while Tim's pulling that up, I'm trying to pull it up.
00:27:36.000 I don't know why it's not popping up.
00:27:36.000 I can't find it.
00:27:37.000 It's part of this echo chamber of people seeing the cop videos that gets more and more intense, which is why I had a hard time answering your question about do you think people are more into.
00:27:45.000 The populace, right?
00:27:46.000 Because I'm in an echo chamber.
00:27:47.000 I don't, I can't tell.
00:27:48.000 I don't know how to tell.
00:27:50.000 Do you think your average American sees that and like thinks all cops are bastards?
00:27:54.000 Like, no.
00:27:55.000 I'm not sure if you're translating.
00:27:57.000 But if they get bombarded, I think the human mind will get valuable.
00:28:01.000 So this was August 3rd.
00:28:03.000 And I love Threads.
00:28:04.000 I'm a big Threads fan because it's just like a paranoid, it's like going to the asylum.
00:28:10.000 Kathy Griffin wrote, just had a full on panic attack, was on my daily walk and passed two LA sheriffs, one with his motorcycle on the sidewalk.
00:28:18.000 I have been harassed and recognized by law enforcement for the last nine years, almost beyond belief.
00:28:24.000 So one of them said to me, Well, it's Kathy Griffin.
00:28:27.000 And I started shaking and I almost started crying.
00:28:30.000 But I just waved and said, Hey, fellas, could have been nothing, but now I have this scared feeling that I cannot get rid of.
00:28:37.000 That means you need to do an intestinal cleanse, Kathy.
00:28:40.000 You've got a lot of gut bacteria you need to evacuate.
00:28:43.000 Maybe.
00:28:43.000 You know what?
00:28:44.000 Making you nervous and nervous.
00:28:45.000 All I can tell you is like.
00:28:46.000 Cortisol's out of control.
00:28:48.000 This is Thread's brain.
00:28:50.000 This is the paranoid delusional state.
00:28:53.000 You want to know?
00:28:54.000 Let me tell you a story.
00:28:55.000 So I was in DC last weekend and we went to a restaurant.
00:29:02.000 I forgot what it was called, but it was right next to the convention center.
00:29:04.000 They had a sneaker convention.
00:29:06.000 And I had a wonderful breakfast hanging out with my boy Brandon.
00:29:09.000 And so I was like, I'm going to go to the bathroom, right?
00:29:11.000 This is what you do.
00:29:12.000 I just wanted to use the bathroom, you know?
00:29:14.000 And so I did.
00:29:15.000 And as I walked out, there was a cop walking into the bathroom.
00:29:20.000 And I held the door for him and he went, Thanks.
00:29:21.000 And I was like, Yeah.
00:29:23.000 That's literally all that happened.
00:29:24.000 I can imagine how scared you were of it.
00:29:27.000 You must have been terrified.
00:29:28.000 Actually, seeing a policeman.
00:29:29.000 He was looking at his gun because I was like, he's probably got a gun.
00:29:31.000 It's a good thing you were leaving.
00:29:32.000 I opened the door.
00:29:33.000 I went to the bathroom.
00:29:34.000 I washed my hands.
00:29:36.000 I'm walking out.
00:29:37.000 As I'm opening the door to leave, I see a cop walking.
00:29:39.000 So I just hold the door for a second.
00:29:40.000 He goes, thanks.
00:29:40.000 I'm like, you got it, brother.
00:29:42.000 Literally, the world these people live in is horrifying.
00:29:49.000 It's absolutely terrifying.
00:29:50.000 I said, liberals have it tough.
00:29:51.000 I can't imagine living this way.
00:29:54.000 Now, think about what happens then.
00:29:56.000 If you go to Kathy Griffin and you say, Should we abolish the police?
00:29:59.000 What do you think she's going to say?
00:30:00.000 She's going to say yes.
00:30:02.000 Now, here's the thing this is a phobia.
00:30:05.000 Yes.
00:30:05.000 What do you call it?
00:30:06.000 Copophobia.
00:30:07.000 Yeah.
00:30:07.000 That's probably something else.
00:30:08.000 Lysophobia.
00:30:09.000 Lysophobia.
00:30:09.000 It's one of the two.
00:30:10.000 So, authoritophobia.
00:30:12.000 She's going to say these poor, innocent men in prison should be released because cops are bad because she's got brain rot.
00:30:12.000 Feeling like.
00:30:20.000 Meanwhile, the dude in jail has got like a toothbrush and he's going, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:30:26.000 And then the guard walks up and he's like, what are you doing?
00:30:28.000 I'm practicing my stabbing.
00:30:29.000 It's like, well, Kathy Griven just got you released.
00:30:32.000 And he's like, ha, ha.
00:30:32.000 And then he goes outside and he stabs somebody.
00:30:34.000 Called capiophobia.
00:30:36.000 What is it?
00:30:36.000 Capiophobia.
00:30:37.000 Capiophobia.
00:30:39.000 That's what the internet says.
00:30:40.000 You freaking capio.
00:30:41.000 C A P I O.
00:30:43.000 Oh, so like capo, the root word?
00:30:45.000 Capio, yeah.
00:30:47.000 From the Latin capio, which is arrest, and Greek phobos, fear.
00:30:52.000 Capo is arrest.
00:30:53.000 Oh, fear of arrest.
00:30:54.000 Capio.
00:30:54.000 Capiophobia.
00:30:55.000 Without being redundant, because I feel like.
00:30:57.000 There's also scopophobia.
00:31:00.000 Scopophobia?
00:31:00.000 What's that?
00:31:01.000 Fear of being watched.
00:31:02.000 Oh, yeah.
00:31:03.000 Oh.
00:31:05.000 So I'm a scopophile.
00:31:08.000 Witness me.
00:31:08.000 You love being watched.
00:31:09.000 Yeah, we know.
00:31:09.000 Yeah.
00:31:11.000 I.
00:31:12.000 I think this is media induced psychotic derangement that a lot of people are going through.
00:31:16.000 And maybe that's a redundant thing or an obvious thing to say.
00:31:18.000 A lot of people in the audience probably already believe that or know that.
00:31:21.000 But, you know, no point in not saying it.
00:31:23.000 Acknowledge it when it comes up.
00:31:24.000 A lot of people are living like this.
00:31:25.000 Like, it's ingrained in what they are right now.
00:31:28.000 And it's not that they're always doomed to live like this, but man, what a terrible way to be, man.
00:31:34.000 That's like the crazy thing about leftist victimhood culture, right?
00:31:38.000 Because you start seeing the things that you've told yourself are going to be there in the first place, right?
00:31:41.000 You see that all the time.
00:31:42.000 It's like, you're expecting the police to do something bad to you.
00:31:45.000 So you go into like a.
00:31:47.000 Preemptive psychosis over it.
00:31:49.000 When you're instructed or you're taught to see the world through a power dynamic lens, right?
00:31:56.000 So the oppressor and the oppressed, and you see in every interaction, someone is the oppressor and someone is the oppressed, whether it be the employer and the employee, whether it be a white person as the oppressor and a brown person as the oppressed, the police as the oppressor and the citizen as the oppressed, there's a power dynamic, there's a way you can see.
00:32:19.000 Basically, every interaction as a power dynamic.
00:32:22.000 And when you see the oppressor as always evil, right?
00:32:26.000 You see the person in a position of authority as always evil.
00:32:30.000 It starts to F with your mind.
00:32:32.000 And it really does cause anxiety.
00:32:35.000 It causes, you know, neuroticism and stuff.
00:32:38.000 It makes people afraid of just normal interactions.
00:32:42.000 And you hear it all the time from people.
00:32:44.000 You're a victim in search of a crime or an oppressor.
00:32:46.000 Like you're looking for it at that point.
00:32:47.000 I think that is true.
00:32:49.000 And I, but I don't think it's only people that have leftists.
00:32:52.000 Political views because I can see people that you consider on the right that become scared of leftists as a concept.
00:32:58.000 And when you meet, what's that?
00:32:59.000 That's also insane, yeah.
00:33:00.000 Right, because when you meet people face to face, people are just people.
00:33:02.000 Like you break through the political bullshit right away when you go right in.
00:33:06.000 I think the difference though is for a lot of leftism, it's like an ingrained ideological thing.
00:33:11.000 Whereas the oppressor versus oppressed kind of dynamic doesn't really exist as much on the right as it does in deep left wing.
00:33:18.000 There's this guy named.
00:33:20.000 No, I think another quote you're going to say, so I'll just.
00:33:23.000 So, there's this guy named Paolo Freire that wrote a book called The Pedagogy of the Oppressed, right?
00:33:27.000 And this book basically teaches people to see the world through the Marxist power dynamic.
00:33:34.000 And that book became a big deal in all of the schools of education, which are the schools that teach teachers.
00:33:41.000 And so, when you teach a generation or two or three of teachers to see the world like this, and they pass it on to their students, not just in colleges, but in regular grade school.
00:33:54.000 You're teaching kids, oh, look, this is the way that the world works.
00:33:59.000 The world is always a power dynamic.
00:34:02.000 And when you do that, it's not to the people that have been conditioned to see the world like that.
00:34:07.000 It's not political.
00:34:08.000 It's just the way that they see the world.
00:34:12.000 I think the world is a power dynamic, but it's way more than that.
00:34:15.000 Like, I was thinking yesterday about how, you know, how they say the rich get richer?
00:34:19.000 Well, you can see that in nature.
00:34:21.000 The hunter that succeeds is going to become a better hunter.
00:34:23.000 They're going to, because they're the ones that get the food.
00:34:25.000 So they're the ones that have the nutrition to have the energy to hunt again tomorrow.
00:34:28.000 So I understand the reality of power dynamic.
00:34:32.000 It's natural, it's normal.
00:34:33.000 Like this show is called Tim Cast.
00:34:35.000 Tim has the right to shut it down.
00:34:36.000 None of us can really complain about it.
00:34:37.000 I mean, complain, but like there's a power dynamic.
00:34:40.000 Everywhere you go, you're going to find them.
00:34:41.000 But that doesn't mean that the authorities are evil or bad.
00:34:44.000 You can have really good people in power.
00:34:44.000 It does not.
00:34:47.000 And really.
00:34:47.000 Yeah.
00:34:48.000 And the problem that I see today is that, you know, in the Trump era, we had a large coalition of people that were distrusting of power.
00:34:56.000 The only problem is a good portion of them distrust power no matter what.
00:35:01.000 So even after they fought for Trump to get in, the grifters stepped in and said, We're going to just go after this people that distrust power no matter what.
00:35:09.000 Right.
00:35:09.000 So Trump finally wins.
00:35:11.000 You're like, okay, he's defeated the deep state largely.
00:35:14.000 They're still there.
00:35:15.000 And there are people going, yeah, but now that he has power, he's bad.
00:35:19.000 And it's like, can't win that way.
00:35:20.000 You can't win.
00:35:21.000 Yeah.
00:35:21.000 Well, I think to the point about like people on the right having that mindset, it's a genuinely miserable way to live.
00:35:28.000 Right.
00:35:29.000 Like Kathy Griffin obviously seems like a very miserable individual.
00:35:33.000 It's important, I think, that the people on our side are cautioned against that because.
00:35:37.000 If you're going around looking for everything to be offended by or thinking someone's out to get you, it's a really depressing way to look at the world.
00:35:44.000 And even like in small ways, like obviously, we can watch the Odyssey and be upset that they chose a transgender actor to represent a male or whatever, or a black woman to be Helen of Troy or whatever.
00:35:54.000 But that shouldn't necessarily prevent you from also like seeing the broader story or enjoying the movie as a whole.
00:35:59.000 And fixating on those small little things, I think, is just one of the reasons why a lot of people on the left are so miserable because it becomes this victimhood mentality.
00:36:06.000 Right.
00:36:07.000 If you fight back against it, it tends to win a lot of times.
00:36:10.000 Like if you try and Struggle against evil consumes you.
00:36:13.000 It lives rent free in your head at the end of the day.
00:36:15.000 And like accepting it that it's part of reality, even though it's goofy, or if you think it's whatever that thing is that you don't like, just it's a goofy part of reality, but I'm better.
00:36:23.000 Show them, instead of complaining about how bad that is, just show them how good you are.
00:36:26.000 Like be the beacon that people will turn to look at.
00:36:29.000 That's, I think, what at least that's where I'm thinking after what you said.
00:36:31.000 100%.
00:36:32.000 Yeah.
00:36:33.000 I mean, I get what you're saying.
00:36:37.000 But if you look at polls and stuff like that of just overall happiness, People on the left are generally less happy than people on the right.
00:36:44.000 100%.
00:36:45.000 It's because they have this worldview.
00:36:48.000 Like, if you're constantly looking for who's oppressing you, what you're putting, you're taking, and I've talked about this a lot in the past couple weeks, but if you feel like people are constantly oppressing you, you have the mindset that the world happens to you.
00:37:06.000 You don't have, you don't happen to the world.
00:37:09.000 You don't have agency.
00:37:10.000 Someone else is causing.
00:37:12.000 All of the problems in your life.
00:37:14.000 And that means you'll look to someone else to solve them.
00:37:18.000 If you have a mindset of agency where you can go out and do things, you're going to happen to the world, not that the world happens to you, not that other people create your circumstances.
00:37:30.000 You create your own circumstances.
00:37:32.000 You're going to live a happier life overall because you will feel like you taking action in the world is going to produce a better result for you.
00:37:44.000 Than sitting by and saying, Well, I can't do this because, you know, someone's going to take it away, or I can't do that because someone's just going to, you know, screw it up for me.
00:37:53.000 Or if I try to do this, it's just going to get messed up.
00:37:56.000 So, oh, you know, and you just turn into like, you know, team bum out.
00:38:01.000 And, you know, it's much better to be on team good times where you're like, you know what, let's go do this.
00:38:05.000 Let's go try this.
00:38:06.000 I think we can do it.
00:38:07.000 And if we mess it up, so what, man?
00:38:08.000 We can try again, you know, or we'll learn something from messing it up.
00:38:11.000 It's fine to mess up, it's fine to make mistakes.
00:38:14.000 Let's go out and, you know, give it our all and we'll learn something and next time we'll be better.
00:38:19.000 That's team good times.
00:38:20.000 If you're on team bum out, oh, you know, what's the point of trying?
00:38:23.000 You know, life's happening to you.
00:38:24.000 You're not setting the tone yourself.
00:38:25.000 Exactly.
00:38:28.000 And that kind of attitude of agency.
00:38:31.000 Is a big part of why people feel better about themselves and about their lives.
00:38:36.000 People on the right tend to feel better about themselves and their lives than people on the left.
00:38:40.000 You know what you got to do?
00:38:41.000 You got to make an X account and a Threads account, and on X, just be like hardcore MAGA, and on Threads, be just anti Trump.
00:38:49.000 And it'll just be the funniest thing in the world because it'll work.
00:38:51.000 Well, then you can also take screenshots of your Threads account, put them onto X, and clown on yourself.
00:38:59.000 And then take screenshots of your X account.
00:39:01.000 I mean, literally, like Ian.
00:39:03.000 Has an Ian Crossan on threads where he's just like Trump is bad, and then on X, he's like, you know, Trump is trying his hardest because they've like, I'm just on threads right now, and it's completely bifurcated.
00:39:13.000 People have isolated each other on threads.
00:39:17.000 It's just endless left.
00:39:18.000 Trump is evil, he's a fascist.
00:39:20.000 These people are just plumb crazy, right?
00:39:25.000 On X, it's all very moderate to right.
00:39:28.000 Threads is nuts.
00:39:31.000 I'm curious, your take on like, obviously, the like.
00:39:34.000 Elon takes over X, or Twitter calls it X, and free speech is back, all that kind of stuff.
00:39:39.000 But also, because of that bifurcation, it feels like some of the more substantive dialogue that used to happen is no longer happening.
00:39:45.000 Agreed.
00:39:46.000 You have the same experience?
00:39:47.000 Well, I mean, it's largely true.
00:39:49.000 Take a look at the Krasnisteins and pull up their thread, and it's like they just gave up.
00:39:54.000 They post just, it's like boomer memes at this point, where it'll be a video of Trump walking out of a helicopter, and they're like, how could he do it?
00:40:01.000 And you're like, they're not even trying anymore.
00:40:04.000 And it's true.
00:40:05.000 So it's like a bunch of them had this moment where they're like, I'm out of X. Like, it's insufferable.
00:40:08.000 I'm going to go somewhere else.
00:40:09.000 And then they literally, to your point, just gave up.
00:40:12.000 Threads.
00:40:12.000 Yeah, I think so.
00:40:13.000 Well, they're on threads.
00:40:14.000 I go on threads all the time.
00:40:15.000 I love it.
00:40:17.000 It's just like, it's pure nuts.
00:40:20.000 I don't, I have it.
00:40:21.000 I hardly ever look at it.
00:40:23.000 Yeah.
00:40:23.000 And I made one and I can't delete it now.
00:40:26.000 So it's the, oh, you're stuck with it.
00:40:28.000 It's integrated into your, I love it when I see like on threads or Instagram and the boomers fall for the AI stuff.
00:40:35.000 And it's just, listen, man.
00:40:38.000 I'm telling you, the AI stuff.
00:40:40.000 I saw, I've seen more than enough videos where it's like a Gen Z dude reacting to what is clearly AI and it's got a million views and all the comments are like, whoa.
00:40:49.000 And then you'll see one halfway down the comments being like, guys, it's AI, but nobody cares.
00:40:53.000 Did you see Anthropic said they're going to start watermarking their text?
00:40:56.000 Honestly, I like that idea.
00:40:58.000 So that any text created, you have an invisible watermark on it.
00:41:01.000 Yeah.
00:41:01.000 And then eventually, I think there'll be tech out there to bypass it, but it's kind of cool.
00:41:06.000 Yeah.
00:41:07.000 I mean, I think with AI, it's going to be, this is a little bit of a tangent.
00:41:11.000 There's going to be the.
00:41:12.000 It's going to segment into three different entities.
00:41:15.000 One of them is going to be the human, it's going to stay human.
00:41:18.000 Then there's going to be the AI that becomes a sentient entity, an invasive species that is here with us in like dangerousness.
00:41:24.000 And then there's going to be people that merge with AI and become a Borg creature to combat the AI thing.
00:41:29.000 And then it's like we kind of have a duty in this generation, people that are actually aware of it, to bind with the machine before some evil, sick people do it and take over and become the most dominant evil creature in the universe.
00:41:44.000 That's it's a horrible.
00:41:45.000 I don't want to bind with a machine, but it's the same.
00:41:49.000 I mean, we're doing it right now.
00:41:50.000 We're using a camera to talk to half a million people that are like in real time.
00:41:54.000 We're interfacing with your brain.
00:41:55.000 And this is like, you know, this is quasi-technic.
00:42:00.000 Quasi-technic.
00:42:00.000 What?
00:42:01.000 The nice thing about English is you can make words by adding prefixes.
00:42:04.000 He needs to chip in because of his English.
00:42:06.000 Somebody reset me.
00:42:07.000 You're thinking of German, not English.
00:42:09.000 As long as you use a hyphen, you know, you're good.
00:42:11.000 At a really high level, to your point, that's also like the reason we want the US to win the AI race and not like the Chinese Communist Party.
00:42:18.000 Because like they will use it for reasons that we clearly do not want.
00:42:22.000 And their moral qualms about like using it on humans or whatever else is just.
00:42:27.000 They non existed.
00:42:28.000 It's like a layer on the cake of talking about social media induced psychosis, like what Kathy Griffin's going through.
00:42:35.000 This is a whole other.
00:42:37.000 You guys want to go into the deep underbelly?
00:42:40.000 Oh, every day.
00:42:41.000 Yes.
00:42:41.000 Let's talk about Bobblehead Girl.
00:42:43.000 Do you guys see the story of Bobblehead Girl?
00:42:45.000 She's not real.
00:42:46.000 She's not real.
00:42:47.000 Bobblehead woman behind Trump in the Oval Office explains why she kept holding her stomach.
00:42:52.000 Jamie Franklin, who went viral for nodding her head along and holding her stomach behind Trump, says she's pregnant, not a zapper.
00:42:58.000 Let me play this video for you first.
00:43:01.000 So here's the video of the woman.
00:43:03.000 That's a robot.
00:43:09.000 What we've done is we have established the Autism Data Science Initiative, which started almost a year, actually more than a year ago, where we funded a dozen and more major research teams to answer the question of what is the cause of autism.
00:43:27.000 Donald Trump was reported to do something.
00:43:28.000 We don't need whatever that is, but everyone's saying that she's a robot.
00:43:32.000 So let me pull up this year's post from Threads.
00:43:36.000 Cosmos Connector says So the scarf is to hide the fact this person is wearing a mask and they wanted to make sure we couldn't see that it's not connected to the neck.
00:43:44.000 Hair is a wig, too.
00:43:46.000 You know, I got to say, it does kind of look like a mask.
00:43:52.000 Yeah.
00:43:53.000 The more I look at it, it actually does.
00:43:55.000 Wow.
00:43:56.000 I don't want to burst anyone's bubble here, but I have actually met her.
00:43:59.000 Oh, cool.
00:43:59.000 Yeah, but real life.
00:44:00.000 Yeah, but maybe that was still a robot.
00:44:03.000 No, Hold on, hold on.
00:44:04.000 See, this is the.
00:44:05.000 You're playing games, bro.
00:44:06.000 You're playing games.
00:44:06.000 The point is, the point is, you see the story about Usher hiring a body double?
00:44:11.000 No.
00:44:12.000 No.
00:44:12.000 I did.
00:44:13.000 Oh, come on, guys.
00:44:15.000 Give it to me.
00:44:15.000 Come on.
00:44:16.000 See, all I do is read the news all day, every day.
00:44:19.000 I read hundreds of articles.
00:44:20.000 I was going to.
00:44:20.000 It took like an hour today, and I was thinking about it.
00:44:22.000 Usher responds after viral concert footage sparks body double claims.
00:44:26.000 Bro, I'm not.
00:44:27.000 This may blow your mind.
00:44:29.000 Guys, did you know that the Blue Man group is actually a bunch of different people?
00:44:33.000 No way.
00:44:33.000 Yep.
00:44:34.000 Really?
00:44:34.000 Yep.
00:44:35.000 Did you not know that?
00:44:36.000 I was kidding.
00:44:37.000 I know, I know.
00:44:38.000 But they appear on stage at the same time.
00:44:38.000 I had a friend.
00:44:39.000 So initially it was three guys.
00:44:41.000 Then they started, they were like, anyone can put on latex and paint and be a blue man.
00:44:46.000 So they franchised basically.
00:44:48.000 So you could do their shows.
00:44:49.000 It's brilliant.
00:44:50.000 Yes.
00:44:51.000 If you're Usher and you're like, yo, just hire a guy and pay him like 10K per show to be me.
00:44:57.000 Oh, and then he's going to do backing tracks of his voice.
00:45:00.000 I mean, he could have been another show.
00:45:02.000 No, not even that.
00:45:03.000 Bro, you could easily find a lookalike who can sing.
00:45:06.000 And if you put it in the terms of the ticket purchase, they can't really sue you.
00:45:09.000 No.
00:45:10.000 They can't sue either way because Usher is a brand and the performance is there.
00:45:14.000 And how are you going to prove the guy on stage if you see a tiny little dude on stage?
00:45:17.000 So, my point is, you may have met her, but maybe she hired a body double because she had a prior engagement and needed the appearance.
00:45:29.000 I'm telling you, man, you watch the expos over in China, like the robot expos and stuff, and they have robots that look similar.
00:45:41.000 Very similar.
00:45:41.000 She has a belly button zapper to wake him up.
00:45:46.000 I think she posted that she's pregnant.
00:45:47.000 So, the other conspiracy theory is that she's got a button that she's pressing to shock Trump awake.
00:45:54.000 On her belly button?
00:45:54.000 Because he's sleeping.
00:45:56.000 Like a BSG.
00:45:57.000 That's Hassan, actually, in a robot class.
00:45:59.000 Hassan and his dog.
00:46:01.000 I saw a tweet and I said, I'm pregnant, lol, and it was her or whatever, but maybe it was her.
00:46:06.000 Maybe it was just a person claiming to be her.
00:46:07.000 I'm so confused by the media these days.
00:46:09.000 Wait, so if she's a robot, like, what do we think?
00:46:11.000 She's like a U.S. robot or some other country place or there?
00:46:13.000 I hope the country places her there.
00:46:14.000 No, She's not a robot.
00:46:17.000 That's so silly.
00:46:18.000 She's a lizard person.
00:46:20.000 She's wearing the mask, you know, doing lizard person stuff.
00:46:24.000 I think it's funny, too, though, because you can actually see her neck.
00:46:26.000 I honestly just think it's a low res camera and a lot of makeup.
00:46:26.000 It's funny.
00:46:28.000 And a lot of makeup.
00:46:30.000 And it's just because, like, she's expressionless.
00:46:33.000 I'm not trying to be a dick, but she's just not really emoting.
00:46:35.000 There's a moment when you first pulled this up where I was like, oh my God, does Trump have, like, a robot guard?
00:46:39.000 And obviously, I know he doesn't, but thinking about the first president that will be flanked by two robots as his guard, his personal guard, how did we get here?
00:46:46.000 It's because a dude had a robot next to him in the Oval Office.
00:46:49.000 We should start a robot, armed guard service company called Praetoria.
00:46:53.000 That's a good name.
00:46:55.000 Yeah.
00:46:55.000 Bring it back.
00:46:56.000 And then the president can have some Praetorian guards.
00:46:58.000 Oh, yeah.
00:46:59.000 We know how that went.
00:47:00.000 Aren't they basically working on those like exoskeletal things for the military?
00:47:04.000 Yeah, they've had those for a long time.
00:47:06.000 Yeah, but the problem with that is let me do this.
00:47:08.000 You ever watch the show Venture Brothers?
00:47:10.000 Yeah, I love that show.
00:47:12.000 You've never seen it?
00:47:13.000 So Venture Brothers was a parody of Johnny Quest, basically, but a bunch of other comic book elements.
00:47:18.000 So it was parodying like a lot of the comic book stuff.
00:47:20.000 And so, you know, the what's the I don't even remember the guy's name.
00:47:25.000 It's been so long since he's seen the show.
00:47:26.000 The grandpa?
00:47:27.000 The main guy.
00:47:28.000 There was a two kids.
00:47:28.000 Venture.
00:47:30.000 Yeah, Dr. Venture.
00:47:30.000 So he's like a scientist and he's got a bunch of crazy stuff.
00:47:33.000 One of the bad guys has a henchman who's a comic book nerd, a fat guy.
00:47:37.000 He shows up to a yard sale for Dr. Venture with all these crazy gadgets and gizmos and he finds a lightsaber.
00:47:43.000 And he's like, oh my God.
00:47:44.000 And he's like swinging around.
00:47:47.000 He's like, I have to get it.
00:47:49.000 And then he's like, how much for the lightsaber or for the laser sword or whatever?
00:47:52.000 And Dr. Venture's like, oh, I don't know.
00:47:53.000 I made it for the army, but they said we don't sword fight anymore.
00:47:56.000 That was one of the best jokes because a lightsaber is a stupid weapon.
00:48:01.000 Like, It's just stupid, but it's sci fi fantasy, and people are like, How cool would it be if a lightsaber?
00:48:06.000 It's like, dude, a gangbanger with a 12 year old kid with a gun is going to beat you with a lightsaber.
00:48:11.000 Lightsaber doesn't do anything.
00:48:12.000 It's cool that it can.
00:48:13.000 So the point is, no more ballistics.
00:48:15.000 Exoskeleton suits are the same thing.
00:48:18.000 Why am I going to build a suit for a guy when I can get a $50 drone with a kilo of C4 and just fly it through the air and blow you up?
00:48:28.000 Those things, I think they're for.
00:48:29.000 You can get a kilo of C4?
00:48:30.000 What?
00:48:30.000 You can get a kilo of C4?
00:48:31.000 No, I'm saying hypothetically.
00:48:34.000 I'm saying hypothetically.
00:48:35.000 Right now, the mechanical, the bio, the what are they called?
00:48:38.000 The mech suits that dudes get in are more for lifting exosuits for lifting, like being like construction dudes on site.
00:48:43.000 They're like lifting.
00:48:44.000 But why?
00:48:45.000 When you can just have a forklift.
00:48:45.000 Tons of stuff.
00:48:47.000 See, this is the thing.
00:48:48.000 Do you know, the US military was trying to build jetpacks.
00:48:53.000 The idea was, I think this is like the 50s.
00:48:55.000 I can't remember what year it was.
00:48:56.000 But they're like, hey, you know, like what if our dudes could fly?
00:48:58.000 Like we'd win every war if we had jetpacks.
00:49:00.000 Rocket man.
00:49:00.000 That was moving.
00:49:01.000 So they built jetpacks.
00:49:02.000 And the problem is the fuel burn off is so quick.
00:49:05.000 I think the best they ever did, even to this day, is like 30 minutes.
00:49:09.000 So, back then, they got it to like five minutes of flight time.
00:49:12.000 And they're like, you got this ridiculous rig.
00:49:13.000 You're going to fly for like five minutes and then what?
00:49:17.000 Dump it?
00:49:18.000 That's ridiculous.
00:49:19.000 And so they built a platform you stand on and it would float up.
00:49:23.000 Actually, let me see if I can find this Flying U.S. Military Platform.
00:49:28.000 Let me see if I can find the video.
00:49:30.000 What years were these around?
00:49:31.000 Yeah, I got it.
00:49:31.000 It's called the Hiller VZ 1 Pawnee.
00:49:36.000 And so, you know what they finally figured out?
00:49:38.000 The 1955 hoverboard.
00:49:44.000 Check us out.
00:49:45.000 The United States Navy reveals the closest thing yet to a magic carpet.
00:49:48.000 It's called the flying platform.
00:49:50.000 The safety lines keep it close to the ground as the pilot demonstrates how he steers, merely by shifting his weight in the direction he wants to go.
00:49:58.000 Still in research, it may yet become an Austin 7 of the air.
00:50:02.000 Two small engines drive two propellers rotating in opposite directions underneath the flying platform.
00:50:07.000 Taking off in untethered flight, it rises on the blast of air sucked in through holes in the top of the platform and driven down by the propeller thrust.
00:50:15.000 In California, where it was built, the flying platform hovers only a few feet from the earth like a power driven pogo stick.
00:50:22.000 So, you want to know why they never use those things?
00:50:27.000 Because they're death machines?
00:50:28.000 Helicopters.
00:50:29.000 Oh, yeah.
00:50:30.000 They were like, why don't we just do helicopters and then we can transport a handful of dudes and those things can store fuel and fly for a long time.
00:50:37.000 So, jetpacks were just not realistic.
00:50:40.000 To this day, people dream of having jetpacks.
00:50:43.000 And they've made more efficient ones where you've got the arm pieces and you can lift off and stabilize, but they're still generally inefficient.
00:50:50.000 There are people who, have you seen those wing suits?
00:50:52.000 That have engines and they look like they're people attached to little planes, just inefficient.
00:50:58.000 It just makes no sense.
00:51:01.000 It has to be disposable.
00:51:02.000 It just doesn't make any sense.
00:51:03.000 Super lightweight, too.
00:51:04.000 It's got to be lightweight to be effective.
00:51:06.000 If you could make a suit that could compress down into like a backpack and used a kind of fuel cell that was very energy dense, maybe solid state batteries are now in the works.
00:51:16.000 They're very energy dense.
00:51:18.000 Maybe we'll get there.
00:51:19.000 But to the point about exosuits, it's just why?
00:51:22.000 Well, I like them because they're compact, because you can fold them up, put them in the back of a truck, and then if the truck Breaks down, a guy can get out, suit up, and lift the truck out of the mud, potentially.
00:51:31.000 I think that's the idea they're portable.
00:51:33.000 It's probably some, like, you know, when the SEALs go in to, like, extract a high value target.
00:51:38.000 Ukraine just deployed actual skeletons on the front.
00:51:42.000 No, they actually did this.
00:51:44.000 We have these.
00:51:45.000 If you lose a suit, dog.
00:51:47.000 Not in the Defense Expo, in combat.
00:51:50.000 Suit's more valuable than the sword.
00:51:52.000 This is fake.
00:51:53.000 I don't like that movie a lot.
00:51:53.000 It gets to a point where.
00:51:54.000 Well, it's somehow.
00:51:55.000 Let's just jump ahead.
00:51:57.000 So, I want to point this out, right?
00:51:59.000 What.
00:52:00.000 So, we actually own these.
00:52:02.000 I forgot what they're called.
00:52:03.000 We have like four pairs of these.
00:52:05.000 Yeah.
00:52:06.000 They attach to your thighs.
00:52:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:52:08.000 You have them here?
00:52:09.000 They're downstairs.
00:52:10.000 What are we waiting for?
00:52:11.000 We've already made videos with them.
00:52:12.000 We sit down during the show.
00:52:13.000 We don't have to walk around.
00:52:15.000 So, it centers the pressure on your hips.
00:52:15.000 I'm wearing them right now.
00:52:20.000 Yeah.
00:52:21.000 And when you lift your leg, it's got an algorithm that, like a miniature AI, that the actuators lift your leg for you.
00:52:29.000 So, it reduces the amount of muscle use when you're walking by like.
00:52:33.000 15 to 20%.
00:52:34.000 I think the funniest thing is, we filmed a skate video with it.
00:52:38.000 We were like, let's try skateboarding with these things.
00:52:39.000 It just doesn't do anything.
00:52:40.000 Because skateboarders, you don't go forward, you go sideways.
00:52:43.000 So your legs are like this, you go leg sideways and you jump.
00:52:47.000 And I was like, bro, what if this helps you jump and like you could skate better?
00:52:52.000 It didn't.
00:52:53.000 What made it worse?
00:52:55.000 It just doesn't do anything.
00:52:56.000 It just does nothing.
00:52:57.000 Yeah.
00:52:57.000 You know, I'd be worried about falling and landing your back or whatever.
00:52:59.000 The company hit us up and they were like, yo, did it work?
00:53:01.000 Did it make skateboarding easier?
00:53:02.000 And I was like, nah.
00:53:03.000 I wish I could say yes because it'd be so cool.
00:53:05.000 We'd do commercials for you, but nah.
00:53:07.000 Nah.
00:53:08.000 What I will say is this actually does make sense.
00:53:11.000 These things do work.
00:53:12.000 They're actually fairly incredible.
00:53:14.000 And I forgot what they're called because we got them a year ago.
00:53:17.000 We have them downstairs.
00:53:18.000 If you guys had to pick and get like these cybernetic hyper shell, hyper shell like surgically implanted into you.
00:53:24.000 Do we know where these are?
00:53:25.000 They're downstairs somewhere.
00:53:26.000 I saw them like lying on the ramp or something like that.
00:53:29.000 Yeah.
00:53:30.000 So for hiking, they actually do work.
00:53:33.000 When you walk, you're like, holy crap.
00:53:35.000 Like it walks for you, basically.
00:53:37.000 In sci fi, in StarCraft, I don't know if you guys have played StarCraft.
00:53:40.000 Yeah, Tychus is one of the characters who he's a criminal.
00:53:42.000 So, one of their punishments is you can either die, spend your life in prison, or we're going to put you permanently inside of a mech suit.
00:53:48.000 And so they surgically implant him in the mech suit, and that's his life, is now he's in a mech suit.
00:53:53.000 And then, like, XCOM dudes get mech suits that are like badasses.
00:53:56.000 But then you get dudes that are mutants that are like genetically altered.
00:54:00.000 So, like, one guy might be able to run super far because he's got mechanical legs, but the other guy's just genetically predisposed to not need oxygen.
00:54:07.000 Look, a big part of at least infantry kind of stuff, like not really special forces stuff, but infantry stuff, is just carrying heavy shit up mountains.
00:54:14.000 Because you're bait, like, if you can.
00:54:17.000 Get a position, a higher position than your opponents, you have an advantage.
00:54:20.000 It's harder to shoot up than it is to shoot down.
00:54:23.000 So you're carrying heavy machine guns, you know, 20 pounds plus all the ammo, plus all your gear.
00:54:28.000 You're carrying 100 pounds up a mountain.
00:54:30.000 That was one of the things that they talked about.
00:54:32.000 And it's one of the hardest things about being in Afghanistan if you're in the mountainous regions, you're basically just carrying heavy shit up the mountain all the time.
00:54:40.000 And so you put those things on and they can help it and help make it easier because you get up to the top of the mountain and then you get attacked.
00:54:47.000 You know, you got a bunch of dudes that are sucking wind because it airs thinner.
00:54:50.000 It was hard to get all crap up there.
00:54:52.000 You got to run around trying to get a defensive position and blah, So, those kind of things will actually make it easier for you to get stuff where you need to get it carrying your gear.
00:55:03.000 It's not about making you superhuman and being able to like leap tall buildings or anything or run super fast.
00:55:09.000 It's about making it easier to carry a load, reducing fatigue.
00:55:14.000 Does it have like a battery or something?
00:55:15.000 Or is it just, it's got removable batteries.
00:55:18.000 So, I mean, they're downstairs.
00:55:20.000 I just don't feel like running down a grave.
00:55:21.000 I don't want to get them.
00:55:22.000 I just don't know where they are.
00:55:23.000 You can check the kitchen.
00:55:25.000 They might be in the kitchen.
00:55:26.000 If not, they might be by the door.
00:55:27.000 Are they in a box?
00:55:30.000 Man, I don't know.
00:55:31.000 Gander.
00:55:32.000 Is anybody here you can ask?
00:55:33.000 Were they expensive?
00:55:35.000 Yeah, they're several thousand dollars.
00:55:36.000 Yeah.
00:55:36.000 So, like, we got the ultra high end one.
00:55:38.000 It's two grand each.
00:55:39.000 Did they send these to you, or did you buy them?
00:55:41.000 I mean, yeah, yeah.
00:55:41.000 No, no, no.
00:55:43.000 That is expensive, but I mean, you're looking at the gear that just a normal infantryman carries now.
00:55:48.000 Like, you're looking at a Kevlar helmet that's like two grand.
00:55:51.000 Your PVS 14 night vision, that's just a single monocle, that's like three grand.
00:55:56.000 The mistake, what they need to do, the reason why this is limited is like it does help, it does reduce exertion on your thighs.
00:56:03.000 But if they extended down to your feet and they had platforms where you stood on it, and it actually reduced the weight of your carry weight, that would be massive.
00:56:16.000 That means if you're carrying a large backpack and the backpack mounts to the back of the brace, which is then supported on the ground.
00:56:24.000 It's going to remove 100 pounds of weight off your back.
00:56:26.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:56:27.000 Then when you start walking, you'll still have a little, you're still carrying a portion of the weight, but it's going to reduce your carry weight by a large percentage.
00:56:34.000 So that's cool.
00:56:35.000 But, you know, for war, it's funny to see that Ukrainians are using these things because it probably is good for long, you know, hikes.
00:56:43.000 It's going to be good.
00:56:44.000 These things matter.
00:56:45.000 You know, soldiers march on their bellies.
00:56:47.000 But I think what they're doing with drones is just more effective.
00:56:49.000 Yeah, for sure.
00:56:50.000 To be fair, a drone can't occupy a street corner, though.
00:56:52.000 So have you guys seen the footage of all the fiber optic cables all over the forest, like spider webs?
00:56:57.000 No.
00:56:58.000 They control the drones through fiber optic cables, really thin ones.
00:57:02.000 Because the wireless ones were getting jammed up.
00:57:05.000 They were using jammers.
00:57:06.000 Blast them out of the sky.
00:57:07.000 That's crazy.
00:57:08.000 Isn't it like draped ohms?
00:57:10.000 Like they got toilet paper.
00:57:11.000 Like webs all over the trees, dude.
00:57:13.000 It's crazy.
00:57:15.000 The world that we live in.
00:57:15.000 Yeah, man.
00:57:16.000 Should we talk about the DOJ?
00:57:18.000 We got this story from Politico.
00:57:22.000 Ex Southern Poverty Law Center official charged in broader criminal case against group, lawyer says.
00:57:27.000 Heidi Byrich, a political extremism expert.
00:57:31.000 Yeah.
00:57:32.000 Who served as the law center's chief financial officer was named in indictment on Sealed Wednesday.
00:57:38.000 Is this the lady who is giving money to her white supremacist husband?
00:57:41.000 Who's a boyfriend?
00:57:42.000 Boyfriend?
00:57:43.000 Yeah.
00:57:43.000 Like a million bucks or something?
00:57:45.000 I think it was more than that.
00:57:46.000 Yo, these people are swindlers.
00:57:47.000 I'm not surprised she looks like that.
00:57:49.000 You know, the sad thing is I shouldn't say the sad thing, but like the funny thing is they have this ethos of there's no truth but power, right?
00:57:58.000 And so in their mind, they're like, so they can steal whatever they want because all that matters is you exert your power.
00:58:04.000 The problem is that's a pogo.
00:58:06.000 I didn't want to come back empty handed, so I got this.
00:58:10.000 I just brought this to show off.
00:58:11.000 Are you going to show us?
00:58:12.000 Are you going to?
00:58:13.000 Could you go up the mountain with one of these?
00:58:15.000 No, it's also filthy, so keep that thing away from the table.
00:58:17.000 Get out of here.
00:58:18.000 Kellen did say, check.
00:58:19.000 Let's see what he said.
00:58:21.000 Did he really ask if you could go up the mountain with that?
00:58:25.000 It was a dumb joke.
00:58:28.000 Shells by the door to the warehouse.
00:58:30.000 That's what I said.
00:58:31.000 Yeah.
00:58:32.000 I said it's by the door.
00:58:33.000 I'll glimpse it.
00:58:35.000 I don't want to.
00:58:35.000 Look, there's like black briefcases.
00:58:38.000 You might find it in there or a box, you know?
00:58:41.000 But yeah, the point is these people believe there's no truth but power.
00:58:46.000 And so they're like, so I can steal, right?
00:58:48.000 The problem is they're too stupid to get away with it.
00:58:54.000 Yeah.
00:58:54.000 You know?
00:58:55.000 I mean, the whole woke two, woke one was crazy thing that you're talking about.
00:59:02.000 I think that actually speaks to what Tim was talking about, just mentioned the whole there is no truth but power, right?
00:59:07.000 Like, they're not looking to change any of their actual, you know, the things that they want.
00:59:14.000 They're just looking to change the narrative surrounding them.
00:59:18.000 So they say, oh, woke one was bad, but woke two, you know, woke one was kind of crazy, and we went a little overboard.
00:59:24.000 They haven't changed any of the policies that they're talking about.
00:59:26.000 They're still going to call everyone racist.
00:59:28.000 What have they changed?
00:59:29.000 Nothing, not a single thing.
00:59:31.000 They're still for defunding the police.
00:59:32.000 Yeah.
00:59:33.000 There is not a policy that they have actually said, we don't support that anymore.
00:59:37.000 You know what?
00:59:38.000 My only problem with this story?
00:59:40.000 They did not arrest more people.
00:59:43.000 Yeah, I mean, it would be cool if they were arrested.
00:59:46.000 I don't know if she's been arrested, she's been charged.
00:59:48.000 They say that she's 59 years old with Palm Springs wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to submit false statements to a federally insured bank.
00:59:55.000 Yeah, they made.
00:59:56.000 What did they do?
00:59:58.000 One of their organizations, their proxies was called the CIA.
01:00:02.000 Center Intelligence or something like that.
01:00:02.000 Yeah.
01:00:04.000 Yeah, it was like a same acronym.
01:00:08.000 Here's the black playing thing about it, right?
01:00:08.000 Yeah.
01:00:10.000 Because SPLC was using donor money that they were funneling to the KKK and other things.
01:00:17.000 And so, like, you're.
01:00:19.000 A citizen that thinks they're like supporting an organization that's fighting against racism and the KKK and stuff like that, and you give dollars, and it turns out like you find out that your very dollars are the ones going to the thing it's supposed to go against.
01:00:31.000 Like keeping the dream alive.
01:00:33.000 I know.
01:00:33.000 I know.
01:00:33.000 It's like, who is involved with the KKK these days except for the people being funded by these programs?
01:00:38.000 There just wasn't enough racism to act to go around, so they have to create it.
01:00:43.000 They had, you know, they went and they said all these other things, all these things are racist dog whistles, and these are racist symbols.
01:00:51.000 You know, the okay sign is a racist symbol because of a troll from 4chan.
01:00:57.000 There were people that were saying, you know, there are people still saying that the Jerusalem cross is a white supremacist symbol.
01:01:06.000 Like, this is the Jerusalem cross.
01:01:10.000 It's on the floor of the chapel that, I think that, or not chapel, the church that Joe Biden, there's a picture of Joe Biden in the church with the Jerusalem cross on the floor.
01:01:21.000 Like, this is not in any way.
01:01:24.000 A racist white supremacist symbol, but they need to convince people that the things that were, you know, 15 minutes ago were totally normal.
01:01:35.000 They need to convince people that these are actually now racist symbols.
01:01:38.000 So that way you can give us more money.
01:01:40.000 So that way we can go and find more racist symbols.
01:01:45.000 And it's just a never ending cycle of them basically finessing money out of people that want to feel virtuous, that want to make sure that they're like, we hate racism, even though the United States is one of the least racist countries on earth.
01:02:02.000 We hate racism, so we're going to give you more money.
01:02:05.000 You give them money.
01:02:06.000 They go and they find more racism, and then they say, Look, we found all this racism.
01:02:09.000 You got to give us more money.
01:02:10.000 It's just a cycle of finessing people.
01:02:14.000 No luck.
01:02:15.000 Chainsaw.
01:02:18.000 There's a bunch of cool stuff down there, but no, I didn't find it.
01:02:20.000 I'm disappointed.
01:02:21.000 There were so many things to look through.
01:02:23.000 I was like, This chainsaw looks cool.
01:02:24.000 This body armor is amazing.
01:02:26.000 What are these?
01:02:27.000 Thoughts on SPLC funding the KKK?
01:02:30.000 Did new news break about it?
01:02:30.000 What?
01:02:32.000 Yeah.
01:02:33.000 The person in charge of the SPLC was arrested, or at least in.
01:02:37.000 Indicted, I think, or charged.
01:02:39.000 Charged.
01:02:40.000 So, uh, inevitable the charge is inevitable if they're really like what were they illegally funding the KKK?
01:02:40.000 There you go.
01:02:47.000 That's the game, I guess.
01:02:49.000 That well, you know, they were taking donations to fight racism and they were giving it to racist organizations freakish.
01:02:57.000 That's like the Antifa window repair people they go break windows at night and then the next day they show up to fix your windows.
01:03:03.000 Yeah, that's the you know, like I was just telling him, it's just a cycle.
01:03:07.000 They tell they convince people.
01:03:09.000 That don't want to be thought of as racist, that think racism is the worst thing in the world.
01:03:13.000 They convince those people that there's a bunch of racism out there and that the SPLC is going to expose it.
01:03:18.000 They convince them to give them money.
01:03:20.000 They take the money.
01:03:21.000 They go and they give it to racists and they give it to organizations that are allegedly racist or whatever.
01:03:28.000 And then they say to the people, look, there's all these other racist people that we found.
01:03:31.000 Give us more money.
01:03:33.000 And it's just a never ending cycle.
01:03:34.000 Didn't they find that SPLC was also funding the Charlottesville stuff that happened?
01:03:40.000 It's just like such a convenient narrative, especially now that the bottom is kind of falling out and.
01:03:44.000 Most of the political violence we're seeing in the US is like by ostensibly left wing groups and individuals.
01:03:50.000 And like being able to point back, like, oh, well, actually, look at these far right racist extremists doing these things that actually turn out to be funded by the very leftists that are perpetrating a lot of the other violence.
01:03:59.000 It's nuts.
01:04:00.000 It wouldn't surprise me to find that the liberal economic order has been funding insurgent, fear based campaigns with the KKK, with other race based groups, with any kind of power dynamics they can find that they would get in there, put their finger on the scale, and freak people out.
01:04:18.000 And just terrify the American people because that's the way, the only way to overthrow the United States is from within.
01:04:23.000 The military is too strong.
01:04:23.000 It's the only way.
01:04:25.000 So it would not shock me at all to find out that big money, USAID money, has been pouring through these guys to keep this tumult rolling in the US as we kind of move towards a new world order.
01:04:36.000 Right.
01:04:36.000 It kind of reminds me of this story.
01:04:37.000 I don't know if you guys saw this a few years ago, but the Kremlin was funding these green activist groups in Germany to advocate against nuclear power and natural gas.
01:04:50.000 And especially nuclear, obviously, is like the greenest source of energy possible.
01:04:52.000 Yeah, they're directly funneling them money so that Germany would shut down all of their reactors and then rely on Russia for natural gas.
01:04:58.000 And it's like one of the things that you see is like whether it's Russia in that case or the left in this particular case, it's like your opponents are often so much more prepared and actually like creative about the ways that they're going to screw you than you think you are, than they think they are.
01:05:13.000 And so you got to be so much more vigilant than we are.
01:05:15.000 And I think being able to trace this stuff that's one of the things I think the Trump administration is doing so well right now is like.
01:05:20.000 You need a certain minimum level of ruthlessness in going after these people.
01:05:24.000 And I think there's always been this like mindset of like, oh, nah, they wouldn't do that.
01:05:27.000 Like, that's too crazy.
01:05:28.000 Like, the left funding the KKK, nah, that would never happen.
01:05:31.000 And then, like, literally, it is happening.
01:05:32.000 Like being able to ruthlessly expose that, I think is just like absolutely critical.
01:05:37.000 I'm looking it up now, but you know, Vladimir Lenin, the guy who led the Bolshevik Revolution, USSR, spent a lot of time in Germany.
01:05:44.000 And people, I believe I remember learning that he was like sent by the, like instructed by the Germans, funded by the Germans to go back to Russia and do this thing.
01:05:53.000 I just want to confirm that that's true.
01:05:55.000 But he spent a lot of time in Germany before he was exiled from Russia.
01:05:58.000 And then he spent time in Germany and they got him fired up and sent him back or he went back.
01:06:03.000 I mean, it's the same way that the Cubans train all these operatives across South America and then like, Literally, train them to infiltrate governments, including the U.S. government.
01:06:10.000 It's like there's 100% Cuban spies within the U.S. government.
01:06:15.000 These are people just been trained and we've never been strong enough to actually try and uncover this.
01:06:20.000 We're just too naive.
01:06:21.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:06:22.000 Lenin was in exile and was sent back to Russia by the Germans in 1917, essentially to overthrow the Russian Empire.
01:06:30.000 It worked.
01:06:31.000 They deliberately permitted Lenin, this is the German government, and a group of Russian revolutionaries to cross Germany by train.
01:06:36.000 Bro, this has been happening since the dawn of man.
01:06:38.000 It's a false flag operation.
01:06:40.000 If you're funding what.
01:06:42.000 What they say you're up against, you're, I guess they call it false flag because it's literally they're waving a flag of you're flying a fake right, but in this, so it's a hyperbolic or metaphoric false flag, but it's ancient technique to fund your enemy and then say, Hey, look, there's an enemy joining, almost like a Trojan horse, you know?
01:07:00.000 Yeah, kind of, kind of.
01:07:05.000 Well, the Trojan horse was we snuck inside their base, but this is, I mean, it's a way to get people to attack from within, right.
01:07:12.000 Oh man, I'm on high alert against it right now.
01:07:15.000 Against the Trojan horse?
01:07:16.000 Yeah, against these kinds of behaviors with the media telling us to think things and credit scores.
01:07:25.000 Yeah.
01:07:26.000 Think of all the ways they manipulate us with numbers and entertainment.
01:07:29.000 Well, I mean, credit scores are fake.
01:07:31.000 Yeah, so that's like a social, it's the one step away from a social credit score.
01:07:34.000 It is a social credit score.
01:07:36.000 Credit scores don't track credit worthiness, it tracks whether or not you are in debt.
01:07:43.000 So, in order to have a good credit score, Being rich doesn't guarantee you have a good credit score.
01:07:50.000 Having a lot of debt that you maintain gives you a good credit score.
01:07:54.000 So you could make $50,000 a year, have 10 credit cards, and you're paying the minimum on each of them.
01:08:00.000 Good credit score.
01:08:00.000 Yeah, they want you to be in debt, which is that's the false flag.
01:08:04.000 That's the Trojan.
01:08:05.000 Like you'd think the economics, the people at the top would want you to not be in debt so that the economy could be healthy, but they want you to maintain debt and interest payments so that they can keep siphoning off the interest and then keep you, I don't know.
01:08:15.000 Yeah, I mean, look, you're definitely buying a credit score, right?
01:08:18.000 If you have a.
01:08:20.000 But the point of it is, isn't just do you pay your debt off?
01:08:26.000 It's can you manage your debt?
01:08:29.000 Right.
01:08:29.000 But it's do you have a lot of debt and do you pay it regularly?
01:08:35.000 If you have little debt, you have a bad credit score.
01:08:37.000 And you know what bothers me when I go to make my payments?
01:08:40.000 Yes.
01:08:41.000 Because I have no debt.
01:08:43.000 Well, when I make payments, there's an option for payoff balance in total.
01:08:43.000 Right.
01:08:47.000 I'm like, why don't they let me leave that?
01:08:48.000 That's bad for your credit score.
01:08:49.000 I know you want to leave money.
01:08:50.000 In the credit card, which is stupid.
01:08:53.000 Like, we need to, you know what we need to do?
01:08:55.000 That should be illegal.
01:08:57.000 Credit.
01:08:58.000 So, New York actually has a funny human rights thing that I was reading about earlier today that you can't discriminate employment based on credit score.
01:09:04.000 So, jobs used to run your credit to see if you had a good score, and then New York City made it illegal.
01:09:09.000 I don't know if I agree with that, maybe, but it certainly shouldn't be allowed that your credit score can be impacted negatively by paying your debts.
01:09:19.000 Yeah.
01:09:19.000 We need to overhaul the credit scoring system.
01:09:21.000 And it should literally just be the more debt you have, the worse score your score is.
01:09:25.000 The more debt you have, the worse your score is.
01:09:28.000 Debt to income ratio.
01:09:30.000 Yeah, I think it's a little too simple that way because you're debt to income.
01:09:34.000 If you have a lot of income and you have some debt, it's not a problem.
01:09:38.000 And also, I do think that if you're making payments.
01:09:43.000 I disagree.
01:09:45.000 The idea that billionaires can take out a $10 million loan and then use that loan at a lower interest rate than the interest rate generated from their bank accounts and from their stock.
01:09:55.000 Yeah, bad credit score.
01:09:57.000 Okay, that's.
01:09:59.000 You have $10 million in debt, your credit score is zero.
01:10:03.000 Yeah, I'm talking about for like the average person because there's, you know, there's, but the issue is billionaires in the country.
01:10:09.000 The reason why it never works is because, let's say, Elon Musk took out a $10 million loan against his stock, putting his credit score to zero.
01:10:15.000 Won't matter.
01:10:16.000 Elon Musk walks into a place and says, I want to buy it.
01:10:18.000 They're going to say, done.
01:10:19.000 Yeah.
01:10:20.000 Because, because he's got so much ass.
01:10:22.000 It's because they know who he is.
01:10:23.000 Yeah.
01:10:24.000 So you're going to say, but the idea that a working class guy says, I think it's a bad idea to have credit cards.
01:10:24.000 Yeah.
01:10:29.000 You should only spend what you earn.
01:10:32.000 So they give him a bad credit score and now he can't get a loan for a house.
01:10:35.000 It is that's heinous.
01:10:36.000 He's got no debt.
01:10:37.000 He's going to be fine.
01:10:38.000 He can prove his income.
01:10:38.000 He's got a good job.
01:10:39.000 What's the credit score?
01:10:40.000 It doesn't matter.
01:10:40.000 Get three credit cards and put a little bit of debt on all of them and then just pay off the minimum and keep debt on three credit cards.
01:10:46.000 So I don't know how much interest I've paid over the decades, but like what a stupid thing.
01:10:50.000 Well, you're buying your credit score is what it ends up being.
01:10:53.000 Yeah, I'm paying to play their game.
01:10:55.000 Yes.
01:10:56.000 Don't you only pay the interest if you go in arrears?
01:10:58.000 Like you're not paying it on time?
01:10:59.000 You got to pay at least your statement balance.
01:11:01.000 Right.
01:11:01.000 And there's a monthly interest accrual.
01:11:03.000 If you don't, if you have a balance, it'll give you like 6%.
01:11:06.000 I mean, really, you want to keep your credit card below like.
01:11:09.000 The way they say it is they want you to keep your credit card below like 25% of whatever your max is.
01:11:15.000 So if you got like 10 grand, you'd put a thousand dollars on there, keep it on there, pay you know, pay a little bit, put something on it, pay a little bit, keep it below two thousand dollars.
01:11:26.000 That way, they're getting their little you know, cut of your income, and that will be you know, that'll go that'll make your credit score go up.
01:11:34.000 To iterate, the reason I brought up credit scores is because this is an instance of like the SPLC funding the KKK, these people are.
01:11:41.000 Supposed to oversee our economy, and yet they're intentionally instructing people to go into debt, which is the stupidest technique to make a good economy.
01:11:50.000 Well, I mean, debt isn't inherently always bad, right?
01:11:53.000 Like debt is, you can use debt to, you know, to start a business, to do things, to buy a house.
01:12:01.000 So it's not inherently always bad.
01:12:03.000 Getting too much debt, yes, that's bad.
01:12:06.000 And people can very easily get in over their heads.
01:12:09.000 The credit card company is giving an 18 year old a $15,000, $20,000 credit limit.
01:12:14.000 That's almost predatory, in my opinion.
01:12:17.000 But, like, just the concept of debt, in my opinion, like, it's not always bad.
01:12:21.000 Like, there are times where debt is, you know, it's a good thing.
01:12:24.000 Yeah, you can take a loan and then invest it in some product and then triple your money and then pay back the loan.
01:12:28.000 Well, I mean, companies use loans to pay for, you know, a lot of things.
01:12:34.000 If you have to invest a million dollars into a company, right, you take a loan out for a million and a half because you've got people that you have to pay that are on top of whatever your cost for the building is.
01:12:44.000 And you'll use.
01:12:45.000 That kind of debt to cover your payroll and stuff like that.
01:12:50.000 But because businesses don't just automatically start producing money, you'll use that leeway that the debt gives you until your business starts actually producing revenue.
01:13:01.000 And that's a normal thing.
01:13:03.000 What do you guys think of things like loan sharks, right?
01:13:06.000 Like short term 30 day loans, but that's predatory.
01:13:09.000 Pawn shops.
01:13:10.000 That's predatory.
01:13:11.000 Yeah, the problem with that is it's a guaranteed cycle of destruction for the individual.
01:13:15.000 Yeah.
01:13:16.000 If you are in need of a quick loan at a high interest rate, you ain't paying that loan back.
01:13:19.000 Yep.
01:13:20.000 Yeah.
01:13:21.000 So, like, payday loans are a terrible thing.
01:13:23.000 Yeah.
01:13:23.000 Yeah.
01:13:24.000 Like, you're backlogged and it's going to keep backlogging and then eventually you're going to implode.
01:13:29.000 Should we ban you?
01:13:32.000 I don't know if I know enough about the economics of short term loans to advocate for a banning of it.
01:13:38.000 I might be open to that because, like, usury was, I mean, I think it was punishable by death at points of history because that's like.
01:13:46.000 What's that?
01:13:46.000 In the Old Testament, yeah.
01:13:47.000 In the Old Testament, charging exorbitant interest on loans, basically.
01:13:50.000 And the Christians were like, we're not going to do it anymore.
01:13:52.000 And in the Bible, the Jews were charging exorbitant interest rates.
01:13:55.000 And it was like an ethos of Christianity it was like, it's not ethical to do that.
01:13:59.000 It is.
01:14:00.000 Interest rates are a good thing.
01:14:02.000 In the loan, like 100% interest rate?
01:14:04.000 No, no, no.
01:14:04.000 No one ever said that.
01:14:06.000 I mean, that's bad business.
01:14:07.000 My point is.
01:14:08.000 But what if they're desperate?
01:14:09.000 I've got, I work really hard and I trade a bunch of birdhouses and end up getting a bunch of gold.
01:14:16.000 And I'm like, wow, I finally have all this gold.
01:14:18.000 You come to me and say, I have a really good idea for better birdhouses, but I just don't have the gold right now.
01:14:23.000 And it's going to take me a year to get it.
01:14:24.000 And I say, wait, wait, hold on.
01:14:26.000 What if I give you 10 gold pieces, but you pay me back 11?
01:14:32.000 That's interest.
01:14:32.000 But that's, I think that's not usury.
01:14:34.000 10% interest is reasonable.
01:14:36.000 100% would be like, I'm pretty sure usury is just any interest on a loan.
01:14:39.000 Yeah, it means high interest.
01:14:40.000 So, like, the, the, what in, lending money at extremely high or unfair interest.
01:14:46.000 Okay, I understand.
01:14:47.000 There's like a specific, like, form of usury that's exploitative, which I don't think your example obviously is.
01:14:52.000 Right, no, okay, then I agree with you, Ian.
01:14:54.000 Credit cards shouldn't be 25%, 30%.
01:14:57.000 Like, that's crazy.
01:14:58.000 But, like, the, and I don't think the Fed should be setting interest rates either.
01:15:02.000 Like, I think that should be something the market should do because, All an interest rate is, is the cost of money.
01:15:09.000 It's just another price, right?
01:15:10.000 You go to the store, you'll get the price of bread.
01:15:13.000 That's how much the bread costs.
01:15:14.000 You go down the street, maybe the bread's a little cheaper.
01:15:17.000 You get about, you know, you'll get a general equilibrium in an area, like a certain, you know, area, like in a state or in a town or whatever.
01:15:27.000 Most of your bread is going to be about the same.
01:15:29.000 Most of your eggs are going to be the same if they're the same quality, right?
01:15:33.000 So interest rates are just another price.
01:15:36.000 It's just information.
01:15:37.000 This is how much it's worth.
01:15:39.000 Me giving you money that I already have.
01:15:42.000 You have to pay me.
01:15:43.000 You need to price in risk, right?
01:15:44.000 Like, that's the main thing.
01:15:47.000 I think there comes a point where it's so exploitative that there probably needs to be some intervention there.
01:15:51.000 Yep.
01:15:51.000 That on average, like, the economy would implode if you couldn't charge interest for the things that you do because nobody would lend money to anyone.
01:15:59.000 And then, anytime you give the government, which the Federal Reserve is part of the government, you know, the way that it operates, even though it's technically not, anytime you give that kind of power to manipulate interest rates, to decide what the interest rate should be, you're giving them.
01:16:15.000 The ability to basically fix a price.
01:16:18.000 And generally, you don't want the government setting prices for things because the market does a better job than the government does.
01:16:25.000 If there was a government can't do it.
01:16:27.000 If it was like an automated system that automatically changed and shifted based on whatever the market economics of the market were, it wouldn't be.
01:16:27.000 Yeah.
01:16:33.000 A fire hose that opens and closes on its own.
01:16:35.000 No, it would be just like any other price.
01:16:38.000 So, like, prices aren't set by, like, no one.
01:16:41.000 It's not a command.
01:16:42.000 There's no government agency saying this has to be this much and this has to be that much.
01:16:46.000 If a business says we're going to sell this bread for five bucks and the business down the street says I will sell that bread for three bucks because I can cover the cost and cover my expenses for significantly less than this store does, then this store doesn't sell that bread.
01:17:04.000 The same thing with money.
01:17:05.000 If this bank is saying we'll lend you interest at $100,000 at 10% interest, and then there's a bank down the street that says I'll lend you that same money for 7% interest, that's the same kind of price.
01:17:17.000 But the problem is when the Federal Reserve loans the money to the banks, it's only one.
01:17:21.000 That's why I'm saying that the Fed shouldn't be deciding what the interest rate is.
01:17:26.000 Who would decide the Fed's interest?
01:17:28.000 The Fed shouldn't be in that business at all.
01:17:30.000 You don't think the Federal Reserve should be accruing interest?
01:17:32.000 No.
01:17:32.000 I agree with you.
01:17:34.000 The market should decide what the price of money is, not the Federal Reserve.
01:17:34.000 No.
01:17:39.000 Let's jump to this story from The Independent.
01:17:41.000 Desperate U.S. sailors trying to jump overboard on extended Middle East deployment, families say.
01:17:47.000 Yikes.
01:17:48.000 Concerns have been raised about conditions on board the USS Abraham Lincoln with claims of food shortages and sailors' mental health struggles.
01:17:55.000 This story's been ongoing for some time.
01:17:57.000 We've heard that there's been potential sabotage.
01:18:00.000 Because they just keep them on this deployment.
01:18:03.000 They say the aircraft carrier crewed by about 5,000 has been deployed since November 21st, but more lately has been supporting U.S. military operations in the war with Iran.
01:18:12.000 The deployment has been expected to end in May, but has been extended with no current return date.
01:18:17.000 Annabelle Loma, the wife of a sailor serving on the Abraham Lincoln, told the publication her husband is now on medical hold after trying to jump from the carrier.
01:18:25.000 He's scared.
01:18:26.000 He thinks he'll get a dishonorable discharge.
01:18:29.000 And just because he was burnt out, his 13 year career is ruined just like that.
01:18:35.000 She said she's trying to put on a happy face for her children.
01:18:38.000 Maria Rodriguez, another sailor's wife, says that her husband prevented another man from jumping overboard.
01:18:43.000 Rodriguez told the Military Times her husband held the shipmate's arm and hauled them onto the deck with three other sailors eventually running to help.
01:18:51.000 I suppose the question is this ongoing conflict with Iran, it's not going well.
01:18:56.000 And I don't, you know, we've talked about the overt intention seems to be the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to cut China off from their energy, but this has no end in sight.
01:19:06.000 And just keeping this carrier out there with these dudes and extended deployment ain't going to work.
01:19:11.000 No.
01:19:11.000 So, what's the end result of this?
01:19:13.000 Do we end up burning out what little we have?
01:19:15.000 We're running out of precision missiles.
01:19:17.000 Trump says, no, we've got ammo.
01:19:18.000 It's fine.
01:19:19.000 But it doesn't seem like we're winning this.
01:19:20.000 The question is why?
01:19:23.000 We're not winning because the people or the IRGC isn't going to give in to just the kind of airstrikes they've been doing.
01:19:33.000 I've heard people talking about that after the F 15 got shot down.
01:19:37.000 Trump got kind of cold feet because he doesn't want that kind of thing.
01:19:41.000 He doesn't want to lose anybody if he can avoid it.
01:19:45.000 He doesn't want to lose any servicemen, right?
01:19:47.000 And so now they're not running the same kind of strikes.
01:19:50.000 You haven't heard about sorties over Iran in ages and ages.
01:19:55.000 I think it's been a couple months.
01:19:57.000 They're doing cruise missiles if they do strikes or they're doing stuff like that, but you're not hearing about B 2s.
01:20:02.000 You're not hearing about raiders going over.
01:20:03.000 You're not hearing about any kind of significant strikes at all.
01:20:07.000 And I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that Trump got cold feet.
01:20:11.000 After the F 15 pilot got shot down, there was obviously a great rescue mission and that they managed to get him out, and there were no casualties on the American side for that.
01:20:21.000 And that was a really ballsy raid to do.
01:20:24.000 But if Trump doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to put people in harm's way anymore because of the fact that I think like 15 or so people have died just from Iran strikes, it's not going to be solved.
01:20:38.000 Like they're not going to get the IRGC out of power by just lobbing a couple missiles at Iran.
01:20:43.000 Yeah, I mean, I think this is.
01:20:45.000 Essentially unwinnable just because there's a huge asymmetry of pain tolerance, right?
01:20:51.000 Like the Iranians are able to take a lot, right?
01:20:54.000 And the IRGC doesn't really care what happens to a lot of people and they're willing to just do whatever it takes to stay in power.
01:21:01.000 And we've got like sailors jumping overboard and that, like the pressure on Trump and like the accountability to the American people is just a completely different political context and in which the Iranians are operating.
01:21:14.000 So it's kind of a lose lose.
01:21:17.000 From that perspective.
01:21:18.000 Yeah.
01:21:18.000 I mean, look, the U.S. has plenty of JDAMs, right?
01:21:23.000 They've got plenty of dumb bombs they can put guidance packages on them.
01:21:28.000 But they're using long range cruise missiles, and that's what ostensibly are starting to be depleted.
01:21:34.000 And these are expensive weapons that take a lot of time to produce.
01:21:40.000 They're not like you can just go ahead and start pumping them out, they just don't have the capacity to do that.
01:21:46.000 And it's part of the reason why I say that we should be making the things that we need here in the United States.
01:21:51.000 We shouldn't be outsourcing chips, we shouldn't be outsourcing anything to other countries.
01:21:55.000 We should have the infrastructure in the United States.
01:21:57.000 To produce all of the stuff that we need, weapons that we need.
01:22:00.000 And the things that are high tech that we have to outsource to other countries, we should move those industries here to the US.
01:22:07.000 But if the government or if the administration doesn't have the nerve to continue the kind of sorties they did in the beginning, then it's going to be a stalemate.
01:22:21.000 And I think Trump's just looking for a way out now.
01:22:23.000 And I think the Strait of Hormuz is probably the sticking point.
01:22:26.000 Like he wants the Strait open because the Saudis are concerned about it and stuff.
01:22:30.000 And Iran doesn't have.
01:22:31.000 Any reason to deal with the, to make a deal with the U.S., as long as the U.S. isn't applying significant pressure.
01:22:39.000 And by significant pressure, I mean sorties over Iran, dropping bombs.
01:22:44.000 But look, after the whole debacle with that girls' school that the U.S. allegedly struck, I don't think that the administration has the desire to keep up the sorties, the kind of sortie tempo that would actually put pressure on the IRGC.
01:23:03.000 It resembles a siege.
01:23:05.000 In fact, you might call it a siege, like a siege from the Middle Ages, where you'd surround a city, cut them off from incoming water and food.
01:23:12.000 So you starve the population, they eventually surrender.
01:23:15.000 Both parties of the siege suffer.
01:23:17.000 The sieging army sits out there and gets dysentery and waits and waits and waits and gets sicker and sicker and wants to go home.
01:23:23.000 And the people in the city starve slowly until one of them gives up.
01:23:26.000 But in this instance, we're not cutting off their food and water.
01:23:29.000 We have like a half hearted siege in the water area of Iran that's.
01:23:35.000 Not a real siege.
01:23:37.000 It was poorly planned, hurriedly executed, initiated by the Israelis.
01:23:42.000 And it's like, I think they'll look at it as the greatest American military blunder.
01:23:48.000 No.
01:23:48.000 It's pretty horrible.
01:23:49.000 What was worse?
01:23:50.000 Iraq.
01:23:51.000 Yeah.
01:23:52.000 We won in Iraq.
01:23:53.000 Iraq?
01:23:54.000 We own Iraq now.
01:23:55.000 It's a puppet state.
01:23:56.000 Yeah, but it cost how many lives to do?
01:23:58.000 Trillions of dollars.
01:23:59.000 Completely destabilized.
01:23:59.000 Seven?
01:24:01.000 11 years and 7 trillion.
01:24:03.000 But I mean, this is an unwinnable.
01:24:04.000 We've cut off the head of a fervent beast.
01:24:07.000 It's no.
01:24:08.000 We killed the wife and father of the leader of the country.
01:24:12.000 Like, this is okay.
01:24:13.000 So, in the future, you there could be considerable changes that would make this the greatest blunder.
01:24:21.000 But this right now, as of right now, it's just a bad policy blunder.
01:24:27.000 It's not nearly as damaging as Iraq was.
01:24:30.000 I don't even think there's a it's not nearly as damaging as Vietnam was.
01:24:35.000 Vietnam is probably the Vietnam or Iraq.
01:24:38.000 Two are probably the worst blunders.
01:24:40.000 I mean, as of right now, you know.
01:24:42.000 I hope it's Vietnam will be co-down as the worst American blunder.
01:24:45.000 You know?
01:24:45.000 I hope so.
01:24:46.000 This is like an unwinnable.
01:24:47.000 I don't even know.
01:24:47.000 It wasn't even started by our military.
01:24:49.000 It's so bad that we're there.
01:24:51.000 It's winnable.
01:24:52.000 It's just they're not willing to do what you need to do to win a war like this.
01:24:55.000 Right.
01:24:55.000 They're going to execute 7 million.
01:24:56.000 I think the Iranians posted out: hey, if the Americans decide to use nukes on any city in Iran, every American military base will be.
01:25:02.000 There's no need to use nuclear weapons.
01:25:05.000 Right.
01:25:05.000 But they were saying that.
01:25:06.000 And then the next day, Trump's like: hey, Iran, the RIRGC has nothing.
01:25:09.000 They're useless.
01:25:09.000 They have no.
01:25:10.000 They all bark, no bite.
01:25:12.000 I'm paraphrasing.
01:25:13.000 So, like, you're getting two extremes from both governments.
01:25:16.000 The propaganda is just vapid at this point.
01:25:18.000 I don't believe either of them.
01:25:21.000 They don't have a military goal.
01:25:22.000 I don't know what the goal of the campaign is to get them to surrender.
01:25:25.000 It's like closing the Strait of Hormuz.
01:25:29.000 Yeah, but you would need to take their leadership out to accomplish that.
01:25:32.000 No, they've had the Strait of Hormuz closed for months.
01:25:35.000 Yeah, so right now, the estimate.
01:25:37.000 They control the Strait.
01:25:38.000 Ian, just for context, the estimate of deaths of Iranians ranged from 3,500 to 6,000.
01:25:48.000 So, yeah, that's bad.
01:25:50.000 Obviously, that's bad.
01:25:52.000 But, you know, Iraq had, you know, up to.
01:25:56.000 Half a million, a million people died because of the Iraq war.
01:26:00.000 54,000 Americans.
01:26:01.000 I have no idea how many Vietnamese died.
01:26:04.000 So this is bad, but like this is not, this doesn't approach Iraq or Vietnam.
01:26:11.000 It doesn't even, it's not even in the ballpark.
01:26:13.000 To be fair, we both look at both those wars in hindsight as well.
01:26:16.000 They were 10 year campaigns.
01:26:17.000 We just, this just started eight months ago.
01:26:19.000 Yeah.
01:26:19.000 I mean, like one of the biggest criticisms that Republicans had of our handling of the Ukraine war.
01:26:26.000 Right, was that there's no clear plan for US aid, there's no clear plan for US involvement to help bring an end to the war.
01:26:32.000 I feel like it's kind of a repeat of that here.
01:26:34.000 It's like we launched this thing and there's like no clear end in sight, there's no clear understanding what the actual plan is.
01:26:40.000 Like, what is a winning scenario?
01:26:43.000 We don't know.
01:26:44.000 And so, like, the very thing that our side was criticizing the Biden administration for is kind of the same trap we walked into.
01:26:50.000 And then Trump's between a rock and a hard place, right?
01:26:52.000 Because he doesn't want to do what it would take to actually win a war like that.
01:26:59.000 But also, he doesn't want to be known as the president that backed down from the Iranians in a war that he started, right?
01:27:04.000 So, I don't really know where he goes with this, especially with the midterms coming up, but it sure doesn't look pretty.
01:27:10.000 No, because if a troop, if the soldiers are considering mutinying and diving off the aircraft carrier.
01:27:14.000 Which, by the way, is kind of insane.
01:27:16.000 Like, we haven't really talked about that, but like, jumping off an aircraft carrier.
01:27:19.000 Into what?
01:27:20.000 To die?
01:27:20.000 Yeah.
01:27:21.000 And also, like, why, like, I can understand being frustrated, like, all that kind of stuff, but why, like, why not just stay put?
01:27:28.000 Like, why would you be jumping off an aircraft carrier?
01:27:30.000 Maybe he had a psychotic.
01:27:31.000 Like, troops in these positions have got to.
01:27:31.000 Break.
01:27:33.000 Because they've been deployed for a year now.
01:27:35.000 Yeah, but she's saying it's a 13 year career and like sitting on an aircraft carrier.
01:27:39.000 That was the reason he jumped over.
01:27:40.000 Like, that seems.
01:27:41.000 Maybe it's the psychology of what they've been doing to the Iranians, which is like, why are we even here?
01:27:45.000 If they get an inkling that the Israelis started it and now they're stuck there, like, that would be just destructive for morale on the boat, I would imagine.
01:27:53.000 And they're going home in May and now it's July.
01:27:55.000 Are they not rotating these guys at all?
01:27:58.000 Sounds like they're not.
01:27:59.000 And that seems to be the issue for a lot of these guys.
01:28:01.000 Yeah, they need to bring.
01:28:02.000 That is crazy as well.
01:28:03.000 I mean, look, and you know, the thing is they're.
01:28:06.000 The U.S. has, I think, 11 carrier strike groups.
01:28:09.000 The Abraham Lincoln doesn't have to stay there indefinitely.
01:28:11.000 They can send another strike group out, you know.
01:28:14.000 So I'm not exactly sure why the Lincoln has stayed there for as long as it has.
01:28:20.000 But yeah, if morale is getting that low, it's time to, you know, relieve that carrier and get another carrier.
01:28:26.000 The problem is if you relieve them, then that just shows the next round of troops that go over there hey, if we make a scene, they're going to relieve us too.
01:28:33.000 And you can't let that happen in the military.
01:28:35.000 I don't think that that is actually.
01:28:36.000 I mean, the Russians would shoot dudes that tried to turn around.
01:28:40.000 To the front, you go.
01:28:41.000 Like, there's no other way than forward.
01:28:42.000 Yeah, but I mean, that's the going to the front versus being on an aircraft carrier are very different scenarios, right?
01:28:49.000 If they're telling you go into the meat grinder in the trenches, that's different than you're going to be on a carrier where you're significantly less likely to die, right?
01:29:00.000 Like, all the people that have been, all the Americans that have been killed, they've been killed on foreign bases.
01:29:06.000 I don't think anyone's been killed actually shot down.
01:29:09.000 I don't think anyone died being shot down over Iran.
01:29:11.000 There's a couple aircraft that have been shot down, but.
01:29:15.000 All the people that have died have died in drone strikes from Iran.
01:29:18.000 If I understand correctly, they were on U.S. bases in the region.
01:29:21.000 Nobody on a ship has died.
01:29:24.000 The aircraft carriers are very well defended.
01:29:27.000 It's not the same thing.
01:29:29.000 Being on an aircraft carrier in the Gulf or whatever is not the same as going to the trenches in Ukraine.
01:29:38.000 That's true.
01:29:38.000 It's not a desperate situation.
01:29:39.000 Not the same.
01:29:40.000 If they were to relieve these guys and then we send out another round of dudes and then those guys, after time, go through the same thing and their deployment gets extended and then they do the same thing, you have a hard choice to make as a commander.
01:29:50.000 You can't keep giving in to your troops.
01:29:53.000 I mean, I don't understand why there's not just like a clear rotation schedule where you tell them you're going to be here for six months and then the other guys come in.
01:29:58.000 Like, it just doesn't seem like rocket science.
01:30:01.000 I think the hardest part for these guys is probably like there's no end in sight.
01:30:04.000 We don't know when we're going to go home.
01:30:06.000 So, like, just put a clear end line.
01:30:08.000 And then when the next people come in, they know, okay, six months from now, we're going home again.
01:30:12.000 Yeah.
01:30:12.000 I mean, there should be, you know, like I said, I mean, the U.S. has 11, I think, carrier strike groups.
01:30:20.000 I'm not, I think it's 11.
01:30:22.000 But, you know, the.
01:30:24.000 It shouldn't be a situation where their deployment is being extended.
01:30:29.000 They should just send another carrier out there, send another strike group, and bring the one that's there back, especially if morale is becoming a problem.
01:30:38.000 Maybe it was an oversight.
01:30:41.000 Probably not, but being benevolent, maybe the military command, it's an oversight and they meant to bring these guys back, and they probably not, but maybe.
01:30:49.000 And I have an immense amount of empathy for these dudes stuck out there right now.
01:30:52.000 The U.S. has 11 nuclear powered supercarriers in exit service.
01:30:54.000 We got big breaking news from earlier today.
01:30:57.000 Defense in Charlie Kirk's killing say shooter should not get the death penalty.
01:31:02.000 He hit the intended target.
01:31:04.000 This is absolutely fascinating because they released one of their filings today.
01:31:08.000 Finally, we get to see what their defense is arguing.
01:31:11.000 And they actually argued that he should not be eligible, Robinson should not be eligible for the death penalty because he intended to only kill Charlie Kirk and successfully did.
01:31:21.000 He was unaware that there were minors present and there was no risk to anyone else.
01:31:26.000 So, Kanakoa the Great says, nowhere in it do his lawyers argue that Robinson is innocent, that there was another shooter, that Charlie wasn't shot, that the microphone exploded, that the rooftop guy wasn't involved, that the recovered 30 out of 6 was never fired, that the confession messages were fake.
01:31:42.000 Instead, Robinson's own lawyers write that his message to his roommate and his partner indicate Mr. Robinson's intention to kill Charlie Kirk.
01:31:51.000 They quote him saying he had the opportunity to take out Charlie, and he did.
01:31:54.000 Their primary ask is to strike the sole aggravating factor.
01:31:57.000 That Robinson knowingly created a great risk of death to a person other than Charlie.
01:32:02.000 Without it, the death penalty comes off the table.
01:32:05.000 They are basically only fighting for one thing to prevent the death penalty.
01:32:10.000 And I think it's because the evidence is pretty dang solid.
01:32:13.000 Now, I believe that there is a potential for conspiracy here.
01:32:18.000 And it is because several individuals went online and seemed to have foreknowledge of the assassination.
01:32:23.000 Several vehicles were seen in front of their house.
01:32:25.000 These people have not been identified.
01:32:27.000 There were Discord messages, I think that was an issue, or server messages from some chat.
01:32:30.000 Discord.
01:32:31.000 I've heard these things were never clarified.
01:32:35.000 So I would just ask this simple question, citing the great Alex Jones, key bono, which means who benefits?
01:32:42.000 Who benefits from the death of Charlie Kirk?
01:32:44.000 Does the right?
01:32:45.000 No.
01:32:46.000 Does Israel?
01:32:47.000 No.
01:32:48.000 The establishment machine does, who is being accused of stealing the election in Wisconsin?
01:32:53.000 They would benefit from Charlie's death.
01:32:55.000 So if you want to believe in a conspiracy, my question is why run with all of the wackaloon, disproven nonsense, or at the very least, impossible to prove nonsense?
01:33:05.000 Instead of the deep state, killed him?
01:33:09.000 Yeah, it's very possible Tyler Robinson was used or influenced by darker powers.
01:33:16.000 Elaborate.
01:33:17.000 Like people in the Discord chats may have been CIA operatives.
01:33:20.000 I don't know.
01:33:20.000 May have been, may have been government.
01:33:22.000 Or it could just be the leftists kill people, you know?
01:33:25.000 And look, there was hubris and complacency.
01:33:30.000 Now, I'm going to say, don't know for sure, but I certainly think it's interesting.
01:33:35.000 The defense is basically saying, look, he did it, but he didn't do what you're accusing him of, so he should not get the death penalty.
01:33:41.000 Where are all the conspirators?
01:33:43.000 Oh, I'm sorry.
01:33:44.000 This proves it.
01:33:45.000 This proves, well, hold on.
01:33:46.000 Hold on a minute.
01:33:48.000 Candace was arguing that Robinson was a patsy, that he wasn't even there, right?
01:33:54.000 Well, his defense is saying he was.
01:33:55.000 Why?
01:33:56.000 Why not be like, nope, he wasn't there and we have proof he's a patsy?
01:34:00.000 Why don't they just play her show and be like, look at the evidence?
01:34:04.000 Yeah, I think if you really care about what's going on, you turn down the social media influencers and turn up the courtroom scene and listen to the lawyers.
01:34:10.000 I mean, that's where the evidence is.
01:34:12.000 So apparently, Phil, did you read about the type of 3rd at 6 round that was used?
01:34:17.000 I didn't.
01:34:19.000 No, I think it was just a standard full metal jacket, right?
01:34:22.000 It wasn't a soft point, I don't think.
01:34:23.000 No, I believe it was a specific round.
01:34:27.000 Let me see if I can find the.
01:34:31.000 I'll have to pull it up.
01:34:33.000 In the preliminary hearings, they made reference to the specific type of round that was used.
01:34:37.000 I don't want to say too much, but we got more information on this.
01:34:40.000 What I will say is that Chris Martinson responds It's simply as close to impossible as one can imagine that the kill shot was a 30 out of 6 from the Losey building roof.
01:34:49.000 That's just physics.
01:34:51.000 I have no idea why you're so intent on proving guilt before evidence, but I have my suspicions.
01:34:55.000 Kanakoa says there is evidence, lots of it, stronger evidence that many successful murderers, than many successful.
01:35:00.000 Successful murder convictions, you're ignoring it.
01:35:02.000 Probably because you've been telling everyone it's impossible that Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk with a 30 out six from the Losey building roof because you made YouTube videos of yourself shooting pork shoulders.
01:35:12.000 He then says, I'm just telling you the physics.
01:35:14.000 If that's not your thing, that's okay.
01:35:16.000 Not everybody had a proper education.
01:35:18.000 Also, steel framed buildings don't fall at free fall speeds for 2.25 seconds either, just saying.
01:35:23.000 And Kenneco responds, It looks like you had the physics wrong.
01:35:26.000 A bit of humility would help.
01:35:27.000 Try not declaring something impossible when you don't have all the data.
01:35:31.000 Are you still pushing the lie about Robinson's Discord confession?
01:35:34.000 Can you at least admit you got that wrong?
01:35:36.000 Were you able to find the type of bullets?
01:35:38.000 It says that it was the round alleged to have been used to kill Charlie Kirk was a 3 out of 6 Springfield caliber cartridge from a bolt action rifle.
01:35:45.000 Investigators recovered a Mauser Model 98 rifle chambered for this high powered ammunition, which contained one spent round and three unfired rounds engraved with messages.
01:35:54.000 Audio forensics confirmed the use of a single supersonic bullet consistent with a high powered rifle rather than a handgun.
01:35:59.000 I don't think you're reading the court stuff.
01:36:02.000 No, no, I'm just looking at what the AI produced.
01:36:05.000 There was in the hearing where they showed the bullet, there was an argument that was made.
01:36:10.000 I'm not going to get into what I don't know.
01:36:12.000 Remington core locked.
01:36:13.000 That's what I thought it was.
01:36:14.000 Okay.
01:36:14.000 Soft point hunting ammunition, 150 grain jacket soft point load, typical big gang hunting ammunition designed to expand and mushroom an impact for energy transfer, as opposed to full metal jacket.
01:36:29.000 The recovered bullet fragment was deformed and damaged to 30k.
01:36:32.000 Let me just pull this up.
01:36:35.000 I thought it was a core locked, but I wasn't entirely sure, so I don't want to just say things unless we pulled it up.
01:36:38.000 Yeah.
01:36:39.000 But let me see if we can pull this up specifically.
01:36:44.000 I think they actually.
01:36:46.000 Do they have it here?
01:36:47.000 The Mauser model.
01:36:49.000 I don't know if this is the right source.
01:36:52.000 No, I think this is the wrong link.
01:36:53.000 Wait.
01:36:54.000 Oh, okay.
01:36:55.000 Phoenix Ammunition posted.
01:36:57.000 Oh, okay.
01:36:58.000 The post on X.
01:36:59.000 The bullet shown in court today was a Remington core locked soft point round specifically designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound.
01:37:06.000 Yeah.
01:37:07.000 Phoenix Ammunition makes bullets.
01:37:10.000 Wow.
01:37:11.000 Yeah.
01:37:12.000 So, again, this came out in the.
01:37:15.000 So, the thing is, every time this stuff comes out, the Kirk conspiracy people just move on and ignore it.
01:37:24.000 Like, they never brought it up.
01:37:27.000 So, just real quick Chris Martinson being like, a 30 odd six can't go through or it's going to overpenetrate.
01:37:34.000 Then you find out in court it was a core lock soft point Remington designed not to have an exit wound.
01:37:38.000 And you're like, okay.
01:37:41.000 Yeah, Chris, I think he's a good faith actor that has had bad information because I've seen him do extremely articulate down to the number with COVID.
01:37:51.000 He was super, super right on with COVID and very vocal about it.
01:37:55.000 So it's very possible that he's just working with bad info.
01:37:59.000 I mean, personally, I know him.
01:37:59.000 He's been on the show, but.
01:38:00.000 This has been the Phoenix Ammunition says this has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies.
01:38:06.000 And it's really mind blowing considering that it's exactly what you would choose for an assassination.
01:38:10.000 But yeah, definitely.
01:38:11.000 Keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza point.
01:38:15.000 I'm sure they know more about this than I do.
01:38:17.000 We've hit Phoenix on the show several times.
01:38:20.000 He's actually gifted us bullets, the Phoenix ammunition.
01:38:24.000 So he made what he gifted us were these subsonic competition nine millimeter rounds.
01:38:30.000 So they're slow.
01:38:32.000 Bro, listen, I do what I do.
01:38:38.000 I've always done what I've done because I can't stand when people lie.
01:38:42.000 That's it.
01:38:43.000 From the Covington kids back in the day.
01:38:46.000 Before IRL existed, I was like, y'all are lying.
01:38:49.000 And even conservatives to Chauvin, to the McMichaels and the Ahmed Arbery case, are you lying?
01:38:55.000 And these conspiracy people with these big channels have been lying the whole time.
01:39:00.000 But you know what?
01:39:02.000 The conspiracy people, the rank and file, the believers, cannot live in a world without threat and fear of a machine.
01:39:14.000 And when the machine was largely defeated by Trump, They've given you the new one and they lied to you the whole time.
01:39:22.000 So I was in one of our security guys that we hired was a former SEAL team sniper.
01:39:30.000 And he literally said to me, he's like, it was like a week after it happened.
01:39:32.000 He's like, the moment I saw that video, I was like, that's a 30 out six.
01:39:36.000 And I was like, really?
01:39:37.000 And this is before the conspiracy theories.
01:39:40.000 He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:39:41.000 He's like, man, I wish my wife was filming me when I said it because I could have been like, boom, I know what this is.
01:39:47.000 Then within like two weeks, they were like, there's no way it's a 30 out six.
01:39:50.000 Exploding microphone or some other nonsense.
01:39:53.000 Now, Robinson, who has been described as a patsy by Candace Owens, his defense team is saying, No, he did it.
01:39:59.000 Just don't give him the death penalty.
01:40:01.000 Why doesn't he just come out and be like, No, he's a patsy and we can prove it?
01:40:04.000 Candace has the evidence.
01:40:05.000 I don't know how they're going to reconcile this.
01:40:08.000 They're just going to make things up again.
01:40:11.000 You know, this is what I'll say this.
01:40:13.000 Not that I need to tell Andrew Wilson this, but he's going to do this debate with Candace Owens.
01:40:18.000 She's just going to make stuff up.
01:40:20.000 That's it.
01:40:21.000 You can't win a debate with someone who's intent on lying the whole time.
01:40:26.000 Because when you can make things up, the other person cannot fact check because it is fabricated, and you can't prepare for a fabricated statement.
01:40:33.000 The only outcome is going to be if the person who makes it up is going to be like, you are unprepared if you can't talk about Dysion and demon goggles.
01:40:43.000 Oh, speaking of, I have those right here.
01:40:45.000 Indeed.
01:40:46.000 So Andrew's going to need to know exactly what happened in order to confront people that throw lies.
01:40:51.000 Because if you know the truth, lies don't affect you.
01:40:53.000 That's really true.
01:40:54.000 They just don't.
01:40:54.000 Change you.
01:40:55.000 Nope, you're incorrect, Ian.
01:40:57.000 What do you mean?
01:40:59.000 Why?
01:41:00.000 You don't know the basic rules of debate?
01:41:03.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:41:04.000 Give it to me, Tim.
01:41:05.000 They call it ARC 73.
01:41:06.000 Not familiar?
01:41:07.000 No.
01:41:07.000 Uh oh, you made something up.
01:41:10.000 Caught me on my back.
01:41:10.000 You literally think.
01:41:12.000 That's my point.
01:41:13.000 What are you supposed to say to something I just randomly make up that's not possible to fact check?
01:41:18.000 Right.
01:41:19.000 I can only say that's not true.
01:41:20.000 And I can say.
01:41:21.000 And I can say.
01:41:21.000 And my response to that is everybody watching knows it's true, and you look like a moron right now.
01:41:21.000 It's a hard question.
01:41:26.000 And you're going to need real time fact checking.
01:41:27.000 No, you can't.
01:41:28.000 It's impossible.
01:41:29.000 No, that's facts.
01:41:30.000 Because watch.
01:41:31.000 Tell me what.
01:41:32.000 You fact check, and I'll be like, well, unfortunately for you guys, my source is in the government.
01:41:35.000 And if you think I'm going to name my source and get it put in prison, you're insane.
01:41:39.000 But I'm telling you, it's a fact.
01:41:40.000 And if you're not.
01:41:41.000 There's no way you win against someone who's intent on making things up.
01:41:44.000 So, in the scenario where the debate's happening, like what's the strategy you should take then?
01:41:49.000 Like at the top, just be like, this is the playbook, and I'm going to call it out every time I see you, and just like in real time call out every time.
01:41:57.000 So, the first thing I would say is the intention of online blood sports is not to prove a point, it's to build brand value.
01:42:06.000 So, for instance, we've had, we don't do blood sports on this show.
01:42:12.000 The few times we had liberals on and it went like got nuts and we were yelling at each other, They become viral clips that get millions of views, and we know it.
01:42:19.000 We don't intentionally chase after that.
01:42:22.000 If we have on, you know, so it's funny because the other day, a clip of me, there's a clip of me and Brian Shapiro yelling at each other, and I called him a retard.
01:42:30.000 And someone put a Joe Rogan in the front where Joe goes, No way, he called him what?
01:42:36.000 And then it cuts to this show of me and Brian debating, which Joe never reacted to.
01:42:39.000 It's fake.
01:42:41.000 When we do these things, it's a rallying cry for the people.
01:42:45.000 Let me put it like this.
01:42:46.000 In all things political, Blood sports, not debate.
01:42:51.000 Street violence, the intention is to strike at a symbol which a group of people believes oppresses them.
01:42:58.000 So, what you typically get with online blood sports is not a functional debate because debate is boring.
01:43:04.000 Debate would be I wait for Ian to finish his point and then I say I have a rebuttal to point the first point that you made.
01:43:10.000 I'd like to respond to your second point.
01:43:11.000 Mr. Poole, you have 30 seconds.
01:43:12.000 Exactly.
01:43:13.000 Nobody wants to watch it.
01:43:13.000 Boring.
01:43:15.000 Blood sports is how can I make a layman who's watching feel vindicated?
01:43:21.000 So, you'll notice a lot of these things in Bloodsports laughing for no reason because laughter is like a laugh track, right?
01:43:28.000 So, when Ian says something like, I don't, I've never heard of this, what are you talking about?
01:43:33.000 And instead of responding, I bust out laughing.
01:43:35.000 Ridicule, that's a tag.
01:43:36.000 Exactly.
01:43:37.000 It's, wow, you are so unprepared for this.
01:43:41.000 Insult, ad hominem, all of these things that don't fly in debate.
01:43:44.000 So, you got to understand that going into a conversation, Andrew and Candace, the actual goal here is not the facts.
01:43:51.000 It's going to be, and I, and, Andrew's really good at this.
01:43:55.000 Can he present it in such a way that the layman passively observing feels he has the upper hand?
01:44:02.000 And Andrew is good at this.
01:44:04.000 However, Candace is either an excellent liar or a true believer.
01:44:11.000 I don't think she's a true believer.
01:44:11.000 I think she's an excellent liar.
01:44:13.000 In which case, she will be able to say things quickly and with high wit because she has it, where Andrew is going to be between a rock and a hard place.
01:44:22.000 So, quite literally, if in a blood sports, I said to Ian, tell me about fragmentation of Dicyanin.
01:44:31.000 You pronounced that word exactly right.
01:44:31.000 Oh, nice.
01:44:33.000 Cyanan.
01:44:34.000 You don't know this?
01:44:36.000 You thought you were going to come into a debate without even Google searching.
01:44:40.000 I wonder if they'll interrupt stuff.
01:44:41.000 All fake stuff, too.
01:44:42.000 Yeah, all fake.
01:44:42.000 Well, they have a moderator, PBD, but moderators don't work on blood sports.
01:44:45.000 It's just fake.
01:44:46.000 So we've talked about this quite a bit, too, because we do the culture war stuff, right?
01:44:51.000 Moderation is not real.
01:44:53.000 You know what a moderator can do?
01:44:55.000 Mute the microphone.
01:44:56.000 But when you say, please, please, I'll put their point in, they'll just keep going.
01:45:00.000 It's just not real.
01:45:01.000 So I think everyone should expect this.
01:45:03.000 I think they're doing a, what, Friday?
01:45:05.000 Oh, good.
01:45:06.000 I heard PBD is going to be moderating it or whatever.
01:45:08.000 300,000?
01:45:09.000 Is that what it is, Angie?
01:45:10.000 Wilson raised $300,000.
01:45:11.000 Well, no, he paid it up front and now he's trying to raise that money back.
01:45:14.000 So I will give a shout out to Andrew Wilson because I think this is important for him to strike at this to the best of his ability.
01:45:20.000 And he's got a give, send, go up where he's trying to basically make that.
01:45:23.000 He apparently fronted the money of his own personal money.
01:45:28.000 It's great.
01:45:29.000 Why was there money involved?
01:45:30.000 I didn't follow.
01:45:30.000 Because Candace kept refusing.
01:45:32.000 He was like $30,000, $50,000.
01:45:34.000 To her?
01:45:35.000 Yeah, and she kept saying no.
01:45:36.000 And finally he said $300,000 and he said yes.
01:45:39.000 That's wild.
01:45:39.000 Wow.
01:45:40.000 Andrew went on Rogan's show and yeah, and apparently, apparently, Rogan offered to moderate, but Candace said no.
01:45:46.000 Oh, that would have been awesome.
01:45:48.000 I don't know how much I believe it.
01:45:50.000 She posted a one sided shot, a screenshot of her saying, like, insulting Andrew and then saying she won't do it.
01:45:56.000 But if, if, if, you know, if I have a debate with someone, I'm it's it's it's not going to be blood sports.
01:46:05.000 And we also don't invite people on here for the purpose of screaming at each other.
01:46:09.000 When we had Brian Shapiro on here last time and people don't like what he has to say, and they because he's a he's a he's got Trump derangement syndrome.
01:46:15.000 I argued with him and I mostly just laughed and tried to make it, you know, silly.
01:46:20.000 And then Phil and him were insulting each other and we're like, I'm not interested in playing this fake thing.
01:46:27.000 I'll give you another example, right?
01:46:28.000 Like when Lauren Southern and Kyla Turner tried making a fake beef, I'm not playing that game.
01:46:34.000 Not interested, guys.
01:46:36.000 We had dinner in Vegas for two hours.
01:46:37.000 We all hung out.
01:46:37.000 We were laughing.
01:46:38.000 Everyone was friends.
01:46:39.000 Then she tweets that when Lauren tried to confront me, I ran.
01:46:42.000 And I'm like, okay, don't talk to me ever again.
01:46:45.000 I'm not doing this.
01:46:46.000 I'm a 40 year old man.
01:46:48.000 I just had a kid.
01:46:49.000 I'm thinking about family.
01:46:50.000 I'm not a child who wants to do whatever this blood sports stuff is.
01:46:53.000 When I was young and ambitious and willing to throw my integrity to the side to become famous and rich, I would say anything to get clicks.
01:47:00.000 And I'd rather, if we're in a debate about an idea, if I'm wrong, I'd rather find that out.
01:47:05.000 Even if it looks like I'm an idiot, you're right.
01:47:07.000 I'd rather that that gets shown to the people that you're right.
01:47:10.000 It's not good for my brand.
01:47:12.000 Maybe it is in the long run, but it's not good for my pocketbook in the immediate.
01:47:15.000 I want to subscribe to my channel.
01:47:16.000 Subscribe to me.
01:47:17.000 The one thing I will say too is, I'm not going to start a beef by naming a handful of people, but there are some liberals.
01:47:23.000 What they do is they will set up fake debates and it'll be a one sided thing.
01:47:28.000 Their camera will be on them.
01:47:30.000 They'll do a phone call or a Zoom with someone you can't see.
01:47:34.000 And then they'll have a debate with this person for the intention of actually generating clips for both the left and the right.
01:47:40.000 So, again, not naming who these people are, but the idea is this you get a friend and actor, you plan out your talking points.
01:47:47.000 That way you get an own and they get an own.
01:47:49.000 The point is, however, You want the right wing to spam blast the video of your face as the other guy on the phone is telling you why you're wrong and it sounds good.
01:47:59.000 Then the right goes, We want to get this guy on our show and it builds your profile on the right.
01:48:04.000 Then the videos you post are you arguing with the MAGA guy and the MAGA guy can't answer the question and then you laugh, but you never see who the guy is.
01:48:13.000 Why?
01:48:13.000 Because it's fake.
01:48:15.000 It's online blood sports for the purpose of generating clips.
01:48:19.000 I had a question in this segment about.
01:48:22.000 The death penalty.
01:48:23.000 Do you guys think this guy should, if he did it, which it seems like he did, should he get the death penalty?
01:48:26.000 Yes.
01:48:27.000 Yeah.
01:48:27.000 I'm the same for a handful of reasons, but I think the aggravating factors, such as there's a crowd of people, there's students, there's kids, like it is a fact that he created a tremendous risk to everybody.
01:48:39.000 The argument that because he only shot Charlie, he didn't create a risk to anybody else is wrong because the risk to everybody else was the aftermath potential stampedes, panic, running.
01:48:48.000 One could have brought a gun and started shooting in defense and hit somebody else.
01:48:52.000 And initially, they thought a guy in the crowd jumped up and shot Charlie.
01:48:54.000 So, what if someone pulled a gun and said, A guy screamed, He did it.
01:48:57.000 What if someone pulled out a gun and started shooting and hit Bison?
01:48:59.000 So, yes.
01:49:01.000 And also, political assassinations of this nature, we have to be as extreme as possible.
01:49:06.000 And I'm going to stress this too.
01:49:09.000 I'm against the death penalty in general for the reason that a system that has an institutionalized mechanism of execution kills innocent people.
01:49:19.000 As for the argument to the system we live in, what I'm saying is he qualifies for the death penalty under the current laws that we have.
01:49:28.000 That being said, as well, I get people going, Tim, shouldn't you argue against it if you oppose the death penalty?
01:49:33.000 No, my point is I don't go out and protest in the street waving flags.
01:49:37.000 I don't care that much.
01:49:39.000 I'm just saying I lean towards it.
01:49:41.000 It's probably bad that Kamala Harris got to decide who lives and dies, you know, and there are people like that.
01:49:47.000 However, it's not something I feel so strongly about that I'm going to protest or call for moratoriums or anything like that.
01:49:54.000 But The Life of David Gale is a great movie, and it's a shame that Kevin Spacey's a weirdo.
01:49:58.000 It is.
01:49:59.000 You guys seen that movie?
01:50:00.000 No.
01:50:00.000 You got to see that movie.
01:50:01.000 Why?
01:50:02.000 Hey, don't spoil anything, but it's good.
01:50:02.000 The Life of David Gale?
01:50:04.000 And apparently, I got bad ratings, bad reviews.
01:50:07.000 It's one of my favorite movies.
01:50:09.000 Is David Gale a real guy?
01:50:10.000 No, it's.
01:50:10.000 You should watch it.
01:50:13.000 I agree with you.
01:50:14.000 I think that the death penalty is warranted if this is real because if you don't execute the perpetrator, you will see more.
01:50:21.000 It's like a yellow light instead of a red light.
01:50:24.000 You want to flash the red light here.
01:50:25.000 People, stop.
01:50:26.000 Don't do this again.
01:50:28.000 You don't have to put on the red light.
01:50:30.000 You don't have to.
01:50:31.000 You don't have to sell your body in the night.
01:50:33.000 No, you don't have to.
01:50:35.000 Roxanne.
01:50:35.000 Roxanne.
01:50:37.000 I bit.
01:50:38.000 I bit hard.
01:50:40.000 I've been singing a lot of Foreigner lately.
01:50:42.000 I love Foreigner, bro.
01:50:43.000 I'm going to sing right now, bro.
01:50:44.000 Dude, Foreigner is amazing.
01:50:45.000 Waiting for a girl like you.
01:50:45.000 Foreigner is good.
01:50:47.000 Oh, Head Games.
01:50:48.000 Oh, God.
01:50:48.000 Cold as Ice.
01:50:49.000 Yeah, Double Vision.
01:50:50.000 Double Vision.
01:50:51.000 It's the jam.
01:50:52.000 Cold as Ice is the one.
01:50:53.000 You're his code.
01:50:54.000 Jukebox Hero, too.
01:50:55.000 I know, man.
01:50:56.000 Wow, Foreigner is so good.
01:50:57.000 The very best.
01:50:58.000 Let's just all take a moment and talk about how great Foreigner is.
01:51:00.000 That's my Instagram algorithm Rockpants from the 70s.
01:51:04.000 Foreigner.
01:51:05.000 Let's.
01:51:06.000 Speaking of Instagram algorithms, do you remember when the El Said guy was like, oh, man, every other picture on my algorithm is like a woman in a bikini or something like that?
01:51:15.000 Like, this is so bad.
01:51:17.000 And everyone's like, you know, you like curate your own algorithm.
01:51:20.000 But they're wrong.
01:51:20.000 They're all wrong.
01:51:21.000 Because what he said was, whenever you spend too much time, because what he said was, I have three staffers who handle my Instagram for me.
01:51:27.000 And you know, like when I go through it, every third thing is like some OnlyFans model.
01:51:31.000 Like the algorithm is awful.
01:51:32.000 He was literally making the point that his staffers are looking at this.
01:51:35.000 Yeah.
01:51:36.000 But people were blaming him for it.
01:51:38.000 And then additionally, the meta algorithm is believed, and maybe, I don't know the fine tunings of their algorithm, about 20% of the content is randomly selected.
01:51:48.000 Because they're trying to experiment on what you would want to watch more of.
01:51:52.000 So if somebody just watches videos of like, you know, they watch old Colombo clips on Instagram and they watch them for about a minute, even though they're three minute long videos, Instagram's gonna go, is there something he will watch for longer than a minute?
01:52:04.000 So they start randomly throwing in weird things to see if you will.
01:52:08.000 And sure enough, they eventually stick something.
01:52:10.000 Then you'll get a guy being like, why is every, like, you'll see a picture of some woman in a bikini and you'll stop to like, what is this?
01:52:15.000 Like, why is it in my feed?
01:52:16.000 Boom, they got you.
01:52:17.000 They're gonna show you more of it.
01:52:18.000 Now, everything you're getting, for me, it's ping pong videos.
01:52:21.000 And I hate ping pong.
01:52:21.000 Oh.
01:52:23.000 Brutal.
01:52:24.000 And I don't watch them.
01:52:25.000 Is it like robots?
01:52:26.000 They did finally stop.
01:52:26.000 No.
01:52:27.000 Did you tell them to not do that?
01:52:28.000 They did stop.
01:52:28.000 They did stop, though.
01:52:29.000 There was a period where every other video was table tennis, and I don't watch it.
01:52:29.000 They did.
01:52:33.000 I don't know anything about it.
01:52:34.000 I don't know the terms for it.
01:52:36.000 I don't know what the paddle is.
01:52:39.000 I don't even know the word for the thing they hit the thing with.
01:52:42.000 And it just spams me this stuff.
01:52:44.000 The ball.
01:52:45.000 Yeah.
01:52:46.000 It made me so angry.
01:52:47.000 I wonder if it's because you're a skateboarder and they just targeted athletes to get you to ping pong?
01:52:50.000 It's like, no, it's because they're experimenting with their stupid.
01:52:53.000 BS.
01:52:54.000 And it's no longer about what you clicked like on.
01:52:56.000 Now it's about how long it stays on your.
01:52:58.000 They know how long it stays on your.
01:53:00.000 I started getting a bunch of Sopranos clips.
01:53:02.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:53:02.000 I started getting a bunch of Sopranos clips.
01:53:05.000 I do too.
01:53:05.000 Mine's good.
01:53:06.000 I got the office.
01:53:07.000 My Instagram is all parenting, or the band's Instagram, all the remains Instagram page is all parenting stuff.
01:53:13.000 They've been sending me a lot of dead baby stuff.
01:53:15.000 Dead baby stuff?
01:53:16.000 Yeah.
01:53:17.000 What kind of dead baby stuff?
01:53:18.000 So there are videos that start off like a good family video, and you'll see like a little kid picking up a block and then putting the block in the square hole, and the parent going like, yay.
01:53:29.000 So you'll watch, you're like, oh, this is cute.
01:53:30.000 And then all of a sudden, it shows a picture, it'll flash to like a picture of the kid.
01:53:35.000 And then the voice goes, and that was the last time I saw my child.
01:53:39.000 Before they were killed.
01:53:41.000 And then the next three minutes or two minutes is them being like, My child is dead, and every day I'm in pain.
01:53:47.000 And I'm like, Ah!
01:53:48.000 And then I'm like, Stop showing me this.
01:53:50.000 That's horrific.
01:53:51.000 Yep.
01:53:51.000 If that's true, that's deep state.
01:53:53.000 They're out to get you.
01:53:54.000 What is that?
01:53:55.000 Because people watch it.
01:53:55.000 How do they do this?
01:53:57.000 Oh, because one day you left it on for too long to see, like, one instant.
01:53:59.000 No, because, like I said, the first minute is a little kid doing something normal, like riding on a skateboard.
01:54:05.000 And then the next two minutes is the parent explaining how their child is dead and how they're suffering.
01:54:09.000 That's how you hack the algorithm.
01:54:10.000 I hope the developers at Instagram are listening.
01:54:12.000 Yes, there are many tricks you can.
01:54:13.000 Including loop videos.
01:54:14.000 I block any channel that's a loop video.
01:54:16.000 You know what a loop video is?
01:54:18.000 It'll start with, like, this is the craziest cheeseburger you'll ever see.
01:54:23.000 Then they'll explain it.
01:54:24.000 And then they'll be like, and with two pounds of beef, that's why this.
01:54:30.000 That's how it is.
01:54:32.000 Like it just stops?
01:54:33.000 That's why.
01:54:34.000 No, because it loops.
01:54:35.000 Because the first line is, this is the craziest.
01:54:38.000 It tricks people into watching it over and over again.
01:54:41.000 They should ban those videos.
01:54:42.000 That should be a violation of the rules on Instagram because it.
01:54:45.000 It pisses people off to be tricked into watching the video longer than normal, and it's gaming the algorithm to get more views and more traction, and Instagram lets it happen.
01:54:52.000 We got to go to your Rumble Rants and Super Chats, so smash the like button, share the show with everyone in your life, including your grandfather, your cousins, your dog.
01:55:01.000 Your dog.
01:55:02.000 Look at that.
01:55:04.000 Al Jefe Lopez says, I'm just going to call that F Democrats.
01:55:09.000 We get the point.
01:55:10.000 Ian, as usual, opening his retarded mouth to prove he is retarded.
01:55:14.000 Thank you so much.
01:55:16.000 Rude.
01:55:17.000 I'm here to slow things down.
01:55:19.000 It's not untrue.
01:55:20.000 Ryu Bakura says people like Kathy aren't afraid of police.
01:55:23.000 They play this game because rich white liberals crave victim status.
01:55:26.000 It's why you have white liberals feeling the need to walk around with a passport because of vice.
01:55:32.000 The prison of hoity toity wealth.
01:55:33.000 Yep.
01:55:35.000 Mizumori says a drone with C4 can't occupy a street corner.
01:55:38.000 And I did say that right afterwards.
01:55:38.000 Correct.
01:55:40.000 That's why you need people, human beings.
01:55:43.000 To be fair, an optimist bot can occupy a street corner.
01:55:45.000 It's true.
01:55:47.000 That's changing the face of warfare.
01:55:49.000 Mytho says, Ian, out here forgetting about dreadnoughts.
01:55:52.000 Praise the God Emperor and the Omnisaya.
01:55:55.000 Oh, I've got some Warhammer up in this.
01:55:57.000 We're talking.
01:55:59.000 Thinker for Alive says, SPLC in Montgomery, Alabama has a jury trial on October 5th.
01:56:04.000 This is the case regarding spending money on the field agents marching with torches they hired, which Sleepy Joe said he ran for president.
01:56:11.000 Yep.
01:56:12.000 Correct.
01:56:13.000 Stormbaugh says, I visited Moscow in 93 and walked by Lenin's corpse in the Red Square.
01:56:17.000 Lenin wanted to ask Ian, What are you when you are, when you aren't?
01:56:25.000 Well, other than me.
01:56:26.000 What are you when you are, when you aren't?
01:56:30.000 Hmm.
01:56:32.000 Katoth Swiss says Hong got 2020ed.
01:56:34.000 When you are, you're alive.
01:56:35.000 When you aren't, you're dead.
01:56:37.000 Yep.
01:56:37.000 Is that a question that Lenin asked people or something?
01:56:39.000 No, it was.
01:56:39.000 Forced name changes.
01:56:40.000 I disagree on payday loans.
01:56:41.000 I use them to buy things I can't finance.
01:56:43.000 I do not use them because I'm desperate.
01:56:45.000 I use them because it's convenient.
01:56:46.000 If you're desperate, they will.
01:56:48.000 I don't know what that emoji is.
01:56:50.000 Something you.
01:56:51.000 My way works out okay.
01:56:52.000 No, that makes sense.
01:56:54.000 It's better than financing.
01:56:55.000 You're sort of financing.
01:56:57.000 But then when the check just comes in, it just hits them, and then you pay a little bit extra to be able to buy something.
01:57:05.000 Schlippy says, You guys excited for tomorrow?
01:57:06.000 NFA is basically dead outside of destructive devices and machine guns.
01:57:10.000 There are caveats that is so incredibly based.
01:57:12.000 Did you guys see that?
01:57:14.000 Was it the GOA said that they're going to start selling suppressors without going through the NFA?
01:57:21.000 They're selling them to two members of Congress in the district.
01:57:25.000 Look, there's.
01:57:26.000 In D.C.?
01:57:27.000 No, no, in the.
01:57:28.000 Oh, I was going to be like.
01:57:29.000 In the district of Texas that this was found.
01:57:32.000 Look, there's a lot of stuff that still needs to get worked out.
01:57:36.000 It is very unadvisable.
01:57:38.000 To just build your own can tomorrow or go and buy an oil filter and drill a 22 hole in it.
01:57:46.000 That is not a good idea at all.
01:57:50.000 If this is going to stick, the ATF is going to have to work out a bunch of stuff.
01:57:56.000 So hopefully it does stick.
01:57:58.000 I mean, it's only a couple hours now.
01:58:00.000 It doesn't look like the DOJ is going to try to appeal.
01:58:04.000 It looks like this is actually going to happen.
01:58:06.000 But Congress sent a letter to the Department of Justice saying, look, This was the intent when we took the tax away.
01:58:14.000 Do not appeal.
01:58:16.000 Yeah, a bunch of congresspeople, Riley was one of them, signed a letter.
01:58:21.000 Riley's awesome.
01:58:21.000 Riley's based.
01:58:23.000 They sent it to the Department of Justice clarifying that when they took the tax out of the big, beautiful bill, the intent was to get rid of, to take silencers, SBRs, SBSs, and any other weapons off the NFA.
01:58:23.000 Signed a letter.
01:58:38.000 That was the point of it.
01:58:41.000 The whole, the, for the people that don't know, the NFA, you have to pay a tax.
01:58:45.000 The argument has always been that this isn't about registering.
01:58:48.000 This is about making sure that the tax is paid.
01:58:51.000 So you have to have the stamp to prove that you pay the tax.
01:58:54.000 This isn't about registration.
01:58:55.000 And when you take the taxing power away, there's no constitutional authority for Congress to do this.
01:59:02.000 So there was no, the case in question, there was no two Second Amendment finding.
01:59:08.000 It was all about the taxing power.
01:59:10.000 The point of getting rid of the tax was to take those things off the NFA.
01:59:14.000 The DOJ has not filed an appeal tonight at midnight, is when the is when the um was when this is supposed to take effect.
01:59:22.000 But that doesn't mean that all of the kinks have been worked out.
01:59:27.000 You're not going to be able to go into a shop tomorrow and be like, I'm buying a suppressor.
01:59:31.000 Brendan Herrera and I forget who else, they're actually doing the sale.
01:59:36.000 They talk to lawyers, they're doing it because they're in Congress.
01:59:40.000 They're they've got some insulating.
01:59:42.000 Well, Brian's going, uh, Brendan's going to be in Congress, they've got some insulation here.
01:59:46.000 So that's technically correct because he won the primary and he's in our district.
01:59:51.000 So it's like he's the guy.
01:59:54.000 But yeah.
01:59:55.000 And then this is the thing it's going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to go after them for doing this.
02:00:01.000 And then once they do, it's going to set a sort of precedent.
02:00:04.000 Yep.
02:00:05.000 And look, it does look like the DOJ is going to say, you know, we're not going to appeal.
02:00:11.000 That means the ATF is going to have to write new rules, right?
02:00:14.000 There's all kinds of stuff.
02:00:15.000 They're going to get rid of Form 1s, Form 4s.
02:00:17.000 You're probably going to end up having to do a 4473, which is the same piece of paper that you have to fill out when you actually buy any other firearm.
02:00:26.000 There's going to be a lot of questions.
02:00:29.000 Hopefully, the ATF will come in.
02:00:31.000 When you wake up tomorrow morning or sometime during the day tomorrow, the ATF is going to say, okay, in light of the fact that the DOJ has not appealed this, the ruling of the court stands.
02:00:41.000 Here is what the future looks like for these NFA items.
02:00:45.000 I am going to have suppressors on every single gun.
02:00:48.000 It's a great idea, to be honest with you.
02:00:50.000 A suppressor necklace.
02:00:51.000 You can own a suppressor before the SBR.
02:00:53.000 What about four grips?
02:00:54.000 You just can't put them on.
02:00:56.000 So, what'll happen is any short barrel rifle will be taken off the NFA, so it'll be treated just like any other rifle.
02:01:03.000 No way.
02:01:04.000 Presses are great, but SBRs, let's go.
02:01:07.000 I mean, like, so that means all the worrying about, you know, do you, the length of it, do you have a forward grip or do you have an angled grip or what have you?
02:01:16.000 All that stuff goes away.
02:01:18.000 Rifles will be treated the same across the board.
02:01:22.000 So it'll be a situation of you want to buy a rifle.
02:01:24.000 It doesn't matter if it's a 10.5 inch, 11.5.
02:01:27.000 What about a sawed off?
02:01:29.000 Sawed off would be perfectly fine because short barrel shotguns will be off.
02:01:33.000 So again, this is, you don't want to rush out.
02:01:36.000 You want to let the ATF, Actually, give some guidance.
02:01:39.000 They have to change the rules and they have to clarify what's going to happen.
02:01:43.000 But it does look like, you know, we've got two hours left until midnight here.
02:01:49.000 It's three hours left until midnight in the specific district where this happened, in the jurisdiction where this actual happened, because it was in Texas, so it's central time.
02:02:00.000 Don't rush out.
02:02:01.000 You don't want to break the law and end up screwing yourself, but it does look like.
02:02:06.000 Yeah, but they're going to drag their feet on rules.
02:02:07.000 You know that, right?
02:02:08.000 I don't know because the ATF director right now is really, really good.
02:02:11.000 And this is the craziest sentence that's ever come out of my mouth.
02:02:14.000 Maybe we, and you know, I feel like they're going to be on it, but maybe we can make some phone calls and be like, guys, can you get this moving forward?
02:02:21.000 Because I want to get some SBRs.
02:02:22.000 Yeah, part of the thing that people are saying was an issue before is Pam Bondi was not actually good on these issues.
02:02:31.000 The new AG is pretty good on this stuff.
02:02:34.000 There's rumors that there's been some arguing in the DOJ, the old guard versus the new guys.
02:02:39.000 The new AG.
02:02:41.000 Is pretty pro 2A, and by pretty pro 2A, it looks like he's gonna say, Look, Congress, this is what I'm just really excited to do is to, you know, put some stocks on my pistols.
02:02:51.000 Yeah, you know what?
02:02:52.000 What I'm excited about is if this goes away, I don't have to worry about driving home with an SBR and worry about like driving through, you know, New York or driving through Jersey or whatever.
02:03:04.000 It's just a rifle.
02:03:06.000 If it's locked up, I'm fine, no worries.
02:03:08.000 Right now, if you take an SBR to a different state, You actually have to send paperwork to the ATF.
02:03:14.000 They have to send back an approval because your SBR, SBSs, any other weapons, those are limited to the state that you're in.
02:03:22.000 If you, like, silencers, for some reason, you can take them over state lines, but rifles and short barrel shotguns.
02:03:27.000 You can take what over state lines?
02:03:28.000 Silencers.
02:03:29.000 What?
02:03:30.000 A can?
02:03:31.000 A silencer?
02:03:33.000 Suppressor?
02:03:34.000 Oh, a suppressor.
02:03:35.000 Okay.
02:03:35.000 Oh, yeah.
02:03:36.000 It's just some liberal term that is not relevant.
02:03:39.000 We're going to go.
02:03:40.000 So just to quickly say, I asked ChatGPT to make me a picture of an SBR and it said, It's not allowed because it violates their guardrails.
02:03:46.000 Not for long.
02:03:47.000 We're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL.

02:04:02.000 And I think it's to your point about Candace Owens and whatnot.
02:04:06.000 I think we need to figure out how to do a better job on the right of keeping some of these kooks out.
02:04:11.000 Yeah, do better individuals.
02:04:13.000 You do your best.
02:04:14.000 That will keep the refuse out.

02:05:02.000 Thanks for hanging out.
02:06:53.000 They keep telling me that those bounce.
02:06:55.000 Ian was saying that they've got shock gloves.
02:06:57.000 Dude, is that story pulled up?
02:06:57.000 What's going on, Ian?
02:07:00.000 Let me try and find it.
02:07:01.000 I think Ice, they're deploying with this is from Polymarkets Twitter, so I don't know if it's true.
02:07:05.000 I haven't really delved deep.
02:07:06.000 That they're deploying shock gauntlets to the ice troopers so that they can freeze people with ice.
02:07:12.000 Oh, remember I had this idea.
02:07:13.000 Yes, I was just saying you did.
02:07:14.000 I was talking about this 16 years ago.
02:07:16.000 So you guys attempted to build it, but they were like, we can't do it.
02:07:19.000 There's a famous gear company that does gloves.
02:07:22.000 My buddy was like an action sports guy, and he was like, let me hit him up.
02:07:26.000 The sponsor guy was like, dude, sick.
02:07:29.000 The idea was to put tasers in the gloves.
02:07:32.000 We're going to do two of them.
02:07:32.000 One was going to be a taser so you can put your fingers together and the other was to use those ab workout things, strip it and put it into a glove so when you grab somebody, it would paralyze them.
02:07:43.000 Yeah.
02:07:43.000 Because it causes the muscles to contract.
02:07:44.000 Literally freeze.
02:07:45.000 And then he was like, hey, when my boss found out what we were having you do, we decided, you know, we can't send you these gloves.
02:07:50.000 And we were like, ah, it didn't matter anyways, like $100.
02:07:53.000 He's going to be like, I'm Mr. Freeze.
02:07:55.000 Stay still.
02:07:56.000 But now they can't like take the taser out of the guy's hand, I guess.
02:07:59.000 I don't know exactly why they're deploying gauntlets of the device.
02:08:03.000 It's called the Glove Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter.
02:08:08.000 You see, man, I got all these good ideas, but I only have a limited capability of execution.
02:08:13.000 Meaning, if I'm doing this show, I can't spend time building the weapons that I want to build.
02:08:19.000 On the upside, they probably heard you talk about it and were like, oh shit, we do have to build that thing.
02:08:23.000 Man, like a year and a half ago.
02:08:25.000 So we're kind of aiding the.
02:08:26.000 I could build them for you.
02:08:28.000 A shock gauntlet?
02:08:30.000 I would love to shock somebody with a shot gauntlet.
02:08:32.000 The problem is it would hurt them, so I don't want to do that.
02:08:34.000 But I would just love to see it.
02:08:35.000 You know, like, do you ever get the impulses to, like, just do some crazy shit?
02:08:39.000 Like driving, you're just like, what would happen if I just turned left into oncoming traffic?
02:08:43.000 Yeah.
02:08:43.000 Kill all those people.
02:08:44.000 Like, I get those impulses.
02:08:45.000 Intrusive thoughts?
02:08:46.000 Yeah.
02:08:46.000 Intrusive thoughts.
02:08:48.000 The way that their body would writhe in agony as I gripped their neck, you know, from the side.
02:08:52.000 I just would like to see it once.
02:08:55.000 I'm kidding, God, if you're listening, I'm kidding.
02:08:57.000 But I am fascinated with the idea.
02:08:59.000 It's not God.
02:09:00.000 Maybe someone else listening.
02:09:01.000 I don't know if there's something manifesting the future.
02:09:03.000 I don't want that in mind.
02:09:04.000 I've thought about shooting people.
02:09:06.000 Yeah.
02:09:07.000 It's natural, I'm sure.
02:09:08.000 Many think about ways to kill people.
02:09:09.000 Probably keeps you safe, comfortable, confident, and alive.
02:09:13.000 I mean, it's a good book, man.
02:09:18.000 There are people who need killing, as they say.
02:09:20.000 Immigration and customs enforcement agents and officers soon may be equipped with gloves that deliver electric shocks.
02:09:27.000 ICE is planning to spend up to $20 million to buy them.
02:09:31.000 The manufacturer says that they are intended to.
02:09:33.000 De escalate encounters.
02:09:36.000 CNN's Brian Todd is here in the Situation Room.
02:09:38.000 Brian, tell us more about these gloves.
02:09:40.000 Yeah, no potential for controversy here, right, Pamela?
02:09:43.000 As Pamela mentioned, ICE is planning to spend $10 to $20 million for purchasing these gloves.
02:09:49.000 It is called, quote, the CTG5 Glove, and Glove is an acronym.
02:09:53.000 You see gloves that are very similar to the ones that they're going to be used.
02:09:55.000 Those are from the company's website.
02:09:57.000 Glove stands for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter.
02:10:01.000 The manufacturer, Compliant Technology, says these gloves are designed to de escalate encounters with people.
02:10:07.000 They can deliver a maximum voltage of up to 380 volts at a time.
02:10:12.000 According to the manufacturer, that would, quote, inhibit and distract the subject from performing coordinated muscle movement, end quote.
02:10:19.000 Now, according to the user's manual, no more than two of these gloves should be applied to a person at one time.
02:10:25.000 They should not be used for more than 15 seconds at a time.
02:10:28.000 Company officials and distributors say they can end a struggle in three seconds or less.
02:10:33.000 There is video that we've had that we can show you here.
02:10:35.000 This is the company president actually demonstrating this on a subject.
02:10:39.000 And look, he does take him down there in about Three seconds or less, and the gentleman there on the ground is a little bit shocked, but he is able to get up.
02:10:48.000 One of the things, a couple things that you have to know about these things, they do not go through hair or clothing.
02:10:52.000 They have to be applied directly to the skin.
02:10:55.000 So that's one of the possible restrictions there of this thing.
02:10:59.000 And the company is warning that they should not be used on high risk individuals like pregnant women, elderly people, small children.
02:11:06.000 Like the weapons that me and my friends had built when we were in our 20s, we were doing all this hacker stuff.
02:11:11.000 This is one of the things we were trying to build when I was 25.
02:11:14.000 No, no, no, I was 24 at the time.
02:11:17.000 I was trying to build this when I was 24.
02:11:18.000 Yeah.
02:11:19.000 I mean, these days, if you have a semi decent product and you know a few people at the Department of War, you're getting a contract.
02:11:26.000 This, I'm reading ChatGPT about.
02:11:28.000 I'm going to start a weapons company.
02:11:30.000 Dude, that's pretty cool, actually.
02:11:33.000 Palmer Lucky, I was just thinking about how he's got it going on yesterday.
02:11:36.000 I put up tasers.
02:11:37.000 Tasers have like, what is this, 380 volts?
02:11:40.000 Tasers have like 15,000 volts.
02:11:42.000 Right, because the purpose of this is to cause a muscle contraction.
02:11:46.000 This is quite literally exactly what I described on this show like five years ago.
02:11:51.000 I wonder if the guy who watches is like, that is a good idea, and Tim's not doing it, so I'll do it.
02:11:54.000 I respect it.
02:11:56.000 Pull the clip up.
02:11:57.000 I've got 1,600 episodes.
02:11:59.000 I don't know which one.
02:11:59.000 ChatGPT can probably find it.
02:12:01.000 That's a good point.
02:12:02.000 30 pulses per second at 1.2 amps is the maximum current.
02:12:06.000 So it's a low.
02:12:07.000 Well, what's the current of a taser?
02:12:09.000 Oh.
02:12:12.000 I don't know what the current of a taser is.
02:12:14.000 I mean, the fact that this doesn't work through clothes means that the stun guns are the ones that shoot the little.
02:12:24.000 Little barbs out.
02:12:25.000 Is it a razor?
02:12:26.000 No, not a taser.
02:12:27.000 Well, a taser, yeah.
02:12:29.000 ChedGPT did find one from June of this year, but not.
02:12:29.000 Wow.
02:12:33.000 I got to ask it for an older one.
02:12:36.000 So the taser gun will pierce through.
02:12:37.000 Yo, ChedGPT, that's crazy.
02:12:38.000 I didn't think that's pretty nuts.
02:12:40.000 Dude, it scrapes everything.
02:12:41.000 It's crazy.
02:12:42.000 It literally.
02:12:43.000 It's opening up.
02:12:44.000 Yeah.
02:12:48.000 Let's see.
02:12:50.000 Fireball sighting surge.
02:12:52.000 I didn't give you a thing.
02:12:53.000 2024.
02:12:55.000 That was a 2024 story where we talked about it.
02:12:57.000 There's a conversation.
02:12:58.000 Yeah, okay.
02:12:59.000 Oh, it clocked.
02:13:00.000 Conversations.
02:13:02.000 Tim talking about implanted magnet electromagnetic sensing, but not the exact taser glove story.
02:13:06.000 Dude, if you could snap your fingers and have it light fire, that'd be so cool.
02:13:06.000 Interesting.
02:13:09.000 That's fucking human torch.
02:13:11.000 It's actually really crazy that ChatGPT can just know everything you've ever said in any podcast.
02:13:17.000 You should ask it what I wonder what it would say if you asked it what your most controversial statement on a podcast has ever been.
02:13:26.000 Okay.
02:13:27.000 What was the most controversial thing said on Timcast IRL by Ian Crossland?
02:13:35.000 Uh oh.
02:13:35.000 I was going to say.
02:13:40.000 Men cannot be women and women cannot be men.
02:13:42.000 Damn.
02:13:43.000 I was going to say that I controlled the weather.
02:13:44.000 I wanted to see about when Tim said that.
02:13:46.000 What was it?
02:13:46.000 One thing you said, Anna Kasparian talked about for years after you mentioned it.
02:13:50.000 It was a long time ago.
02:13:51.000 It was back in Connecticut.
02:13:53.000 What, like the dating thing?
02:13:54.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:13:54.000 That was pretty controversial.
02:13:55.000 Okay, here we go.
02:13:56.000 Oh, good.
02:13:57.000 On March, it says, on March 27th, 2023, during a discussion of the Nashville school shooting, Ian said, Every time we see one of these mass shootings, I think every time there's pharmaceuticals involved, school shootings, I'm talking about.
02:14:09.000 Yeah.
02:14:10.000 What?
02:14:10.000 Oh, maybe that was hyperbolic.
02:14:11.000 Oh, because Media Matters wrote about it.
02:14:13.000 That's why.
02:14:14.000 Oh, okay.
02:14:16.000 I also said we should put machine gun nests on the board.
02:14:18.000 There are potentially much stranger and more inflammatory Ian moments than that.
02:14:22.000 For example, in 2021, October, Tim became visibly angry after Ian when he tried to connect mass murder to the Dave Chappelle controversy.
02:14:29.000 Huh.
02:14:31.000 I don't remember what controversy was that.
02:14:33.000 Bro, it's a fun game with like IRL trivia.
02:14:36.000 Yeah.
02:14:36.000 You could do a whole set.
02:14:37.000 At that time, you brought a pogo stick into the show.
02:14:39.000 Yeah, that was brutal.
02:14:41.000 What a wild one.
02:14:42.000 You could be like ChatGPT, build 50 questions for a Timcast IRL trivia game about the most 10 of them, about the most controversial 10, whatever.
02:14:51.000 And it would just spit it out.
02:14:52.000 What if you do that and then send it to your most loyal fans, and then the ones who get like full scores or whatever get a prize?
02:14:59.000 I don't know.
02:15:00.000 Well, I'll say a couple things real quick before we go to callers for the Discord members.
02:15:06.000 We are entering light conversations about this location.
02:15:10.000 We're going to DC, right?
02:15:11.000 The show's going to be in DC in a month.
02:15:14.000 And the moment I said we were doing that, Tons of high profile guests, and they're like, I would like to come on the show when you're in DC.
02:15:23.000 We've had a couple people like big channels with millions of followers be like, Hey, we want to.
02:15:27.000 They hit up Lisa and they're like, Let us know when you're in DC so we can come on the show.
02:15:30.000 And we're like, Okay, well.
02:15:32.000 So we're trying to figure out what we're doing here.
02:15:34.000 And one of the ideas we had is turn it into a members only club, meaning that Timcast members can actually book to come and stay here.
02:15:41.000 And yeah, because we've got technically their offices.
02:15:45.000 We actually just put a shower in one of the buildings, didn't have a shower in it.
02:15:48.000 But there's a shower in this building too, because we like the skating stuff.
02:15:51.000 But the idea is like, we could fit it to have a couple of rooms, but not just that.
02:15:57.000 There would be room availability for members to book.
02:15:59.000 Only members can book it.
02:16:01.000 You got to pay for the room.
02:16:02.000 So it's going to be $100 a night or whatever the cost might be.
02:16:05.000 Full use of the facilities.
02:16:06.000 There will be staff on site.
02:16:08.000 You can buy food and drink.
02:16:10.000 So it'll just be kind of like a members club where you pay a membership.
02:16:14.000 As a member, you can come onto the property whenever you want.
02:16:17.000 When you want to stay here, you got to book the rooms.
02:16:19.000 But You know, we would do like a member tier, like at 25 bucks a month, you'll get like a card and can come during, you know, open hours or whatever.
02:16:26.000 That's one of the ideas.
02:16:28.000 And then this studio on the property would be rental for use.
02:16:32.000 So people could be like, I want to book the studio for two hours and then we'd have that available.
02:16:36.000 But I don't know.
02:16:37.000 I thought it'd be cool though because like our Discord members can be like, you can come to the gate, you can play music, you can record, you can do whatever.
02:16:37.000 That's just an idea.
02:16:43.000 Shoot guns.
02:16:44.000 That I don't know about.
02:16:45.000 That's an insurance issue.
02:16:47.000 There's a shooting range down the street though.
02:16:48.000 So you can always, you know, hey, let's grab Koalas and we'll start with Pot Frog.
02:16:53.000 What hot frog?
02:16:54.000 Are you high?
02:16:56.000 Are you boiling?
02:16:59.000 Howdy.
02:17:01.000 No, I am not boiling.
02:17:03.000 The joke is a comic strip I saw a long time ago about the boiling frogs in a pot.
02:17:10.000 And I just kind of took one of the images and made it my profile.
02:17:14.000 Oh.
02:17:15.000 Nice.
02:17:15.000 But again, thank you for taking my call.
02:17:18.000 Thanks for coming.
02:17:19.000 Long time listener, first time caller.
02:17:21.000 Question for the crew.
02:17:24.000 What do you suggest for the youth broad spectrum?
02:17:26.000 I'm 25, and with the fracturing of this nation across party lines, AI on the horizon, what seems to be a gender war making relationships difficult to impossible to make, the consequences of the birth crisis in Western nations, et cetera, et cetera, it's kind of hard to not be on team bum out.
02:17:44.000 What's your resting heart rate?
02:17:48.000 My resting heart rate?
02:17:49.000 I haven't checked it.
02:17:52.000 Check your resting heart rate.
02:17:55.000 Do you work out routinely?
02:17:57.000 Some kind of exercise?
02:17:59.000 At least four times a week, yeah.
02:18:01.000 Oh, excellent.
02:18:02.000 You probably got a good resting heart rate.
02:18:02.000 Very good.
02:18:04.000 I'm just speaking generally like the first thing any young person should do is be fit.
02:18:09.000 Do it now.
02:18:11.000 Who was it?
02:18:11.000 Was it Cernovich posting about this?
02:18:13.000 That sarcopenia is coming for everybody, and there's nothing you can do about it.
02:18:18.000 But if you build up as much muscle mass as possible when you're young, then you'll have muscle mass to lose when you're old.
02:18:26.000 There was this image I saw of a lifetime runner's legs when he was 80, a bodybuilder's legs when he was 80, and an average person when he was 80.
02:18:37.000 The bodybuilder's legs had muscle, but not as much.
02:18:42.000 The regular guy had almost no muscle at all.
02:18:45.000 And the lifetime runner's legs looked like a 40, 50 year old, comparably.
02:18:50.000 The point is, my wife and I were looking at houses a couple of years ago before we settled on them when we got.
02:18:57.000 And every single person we talked to said, no, we actually really wanted to do a tower house.
02:19:03.000 Yeah, like silo houses.
02:19:05.000 And every realtor and every developer is like, no, You want a bungalow.
02:19:10.000 And we were like, why?
02:19:11.000 It's like not secure.
02:19:12.000 And like, well, you know, you're going to be getting older and you don't want stairs.
02:19:16.000 And I was like, why don't I want stairs?
02:19:17.000 Well, because when you get old, you can't go up the stairs.
02:19:19.000 And I said, you dumb motherfucker.
02:19:23.000 I am going to sprint up the stairs, Dennis Kucinich style, when I'm 89 years old.
02:19:27.000 I watched him do it literally.
02:19:28.000 Dennis Kucinich.
02:19:30.000 It was like 70?
02:19:31.000 Older.
02:19:32.000 He was older than that.
02:19:33.000 So Kucinich was doing the thing where you skip steps and he was jumping.
02:19:37.000 That's how I go upstairs.
02:19:39.000 I sprint upstairs.
02:19:41.000 Like, I just jump over it.
02:19:43.000 Like, I skip steps and I go boom, boom, boom, boom, and run up the stairs.
02:19:45.000 Yeah.
02:19:46.000 Because, well, I'm a skateboarder, so I've got all the leg strength and my upper body is sad.
02:19:51.000 He's 79 now, for reference.
02:19:53.000 Yeah, so this was like three or four years ago.
02:19:55.000 He sprinted up the stairs.
02:19:56.000 Boom, he's like, wow.
02:19:57.000 He's like, I work out and I'm vegan.
02:19:58.000 And I'm like, bro, we had 30 year olds on the show who couldn't get up those stairs.
02:20:02.000 Yeah.
02:20:02.000 It's wild.
02:20:03.000 Genetic age and solar age are not the same, man.
02:20:06.000 And you can lift yourself up instead of push yourself up.
02:20:08.000 Anyway, the long story short before I pass it over to Phil is, uh, The first thing you want to do is make sure you are the best you can possibly be in every capacity.
02:20:19.000 And that's going to, you know, let me put it like this.
02:20:23.000 If there are, you know, 10 acres of wheat and we're looking at being like, bro, 90% of the field has been destroyed, well, that 10% is still there.
02:20:32.000 And it's going to be easiest for you to get it if you're fit, capable, and have the resources.
02:20:36.000 So, but I'm curious, Phil, if you've got any advice for the youngsters?
02:20:40.000 Yeah, look, everything Tim said is right.
02:20:44.000 The foundation that you lay in your 20s.
02:20:47.000 Is going to be what you're going to build on throughout your whole life.
02:20:51.000 Like the idea, like you should put on as much muscle mass as you can.
02:20:56.000 Avoid steroids.
02:20:58.000 You don't need them when you're young.
02:21:01.000 But like you should be lifting, you should be exercising.
02:21:04.000 It sounds like you've got a good, you know, you're going to the gym, you know, a lot.
02:21:08.000 So, you know, eat as much protein as you can and stuff.
02:21:11.000 I don't know what your financial situation is, but like if you can make some money now, if you can make money and store it away.
02:21:20.000 Like when you're 50, the money that you put away in your 20s is going to be significantly more.
02:21:28.000 And you never know when you're going to be in a situation where you need it or what's going to happen.
02:21:33.000 So I would say, like, try your best.
02:21:36.000 Like, if you're a motivated kind of dude and you can have a job and a side hustle, do that, you know?
02:21:44.000 But look, if you're 25, man, you've got a long time to do a lot of stuff.
02:21:50.000 So don't do it.
02:21:51.000 beat up on yourself if you're not like where you want to be right now.
02:21:54.000 That's one thing I think young people do too much.
02:21:57.000 They expect that they should have all kinds of things in their 20s.
02:22:02.000 And your 20s are like free years to fuck up, right?
02:22:06.000 Like when you're 30, then you should kind of be like have your shit together.
02:22:10.000 But like your 20s are like gimmies.
02:22:13.000 They're like freebies.
02:22:14.000 So like go try shit.
02:22:16.000 Go figure out what you're good at.
02:22:18.000 Spend time trying to do something that might be risky.
02:22:24.000 Specifically, I'm talking about financially risky or whatever.
02:22:27.000 If you're looking to start a business, you have ideas, now's the time to do it.
02:22:30.000 And let me tell you something I learned very important today.
02:22:32.000 Actually, I know this for a long time, but it's an important thing nonetheless.
02:22:36.000 You might be thinking about investing.
02:22:38.000 You know, everyone talks about investing.
02:22:39.000 It's like, what if I took money and I invested in something?
02:22:43.000 Well, investing in something with no end goal plan, like you need to know where that money is going to be, it's a bad idea.
02:22:43.000 Okay.
02:22:50.000 Because let me tell you if your idea is I'm going to allocate X amount of dollars to a project, and if you can't tell me exactly what that project will turn into, take that money you got and go put it on blackjack.
02:23:05.000 50 50, baby.
02:23:06.000 Because too many people think that investing money is like, I'm going to put money towards a project.
02:23:12.000 And then you go, and where will that project be at the end of the year?
02:23:14.000 And they go, well, I don't know.
02:23:15.000 Yeah, okay.
02:23:15.000 I'm going to see what happens.
02:23:16.000 Okay, buddy.
02:23:17.000 You go put that money on Blackjack.
02:23:19.000 Trust me, you get 50% better than zero.
02:23:21.000 You should be able to say, at the end of the year, the money I've spent will become this.
02:23:26.000 And I say, okay, what's the risk?
02:23:29.000 There's probably, I'd estimate 10 to 20% that we don't get there.
02:23:32.000 But for these reasons, I think.
02:23:35.000 Overwhelmingly, I'm gonna put money in, I'm gonna have this thing, and what can you do with that thing?
02:23:39.000 Well, I'm gonna be able to use it to generate money doing, ah, there you go.
02:23:42.000 Now you got yourself an investment.
02:23:44.000 I meet a lot of young people that are like, I'm gonna spend my money on like making a comic book, and then I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna use it to live off of.
02:23:53.000 I'm gonna quit my job, start drawing a comic book, then I'm gonna go get a bunch of prints made, and then I'm like, okay, and what do you do with the comic book?
02:23:59.000 Well, you know, hopefully I can shop it around.
02:24:01.000 You know who?
02:24:02.000 Well, I guess one of the big publishers, I know which one, how are you getting in, who are you talking to, who's your agent, who you're just listening.
02:24:07.000 Well, I don't know.
02:24:08.000 Oh, great.
02:24:08.000 Take your money, go put it on a blackjack.
02:24:10.000 You got a 50 50 shot there.
02:24:11.000 It's much better than your plan.
02:24:13.000 What do you think about people investing in the stock market?
02:24:17.000 Entirely depends.
02:24:18.000 Like, if there's some wackaloon company where you're like, man, this one might pop off.
02:24:23.000 Who knows?
02:24:24.000 If you don't know what that company is, then you want to go with like SP.
02:24:29.000 You know what I mean?
02:24:32.000 Yeah.
02:24:33.000 I think it's really important to know what you're investing in.
02:24:34.000 It was the same with crypto.
02:24:35.000 If you read the white papers, I gained that shit so hard in the early days.
02:24:40.000 Like, if you're going to invest and you don't know, Get an index fund that's pegged to the Dow and an index fund that's pegged to the SP.
02:24:48.000 Just ride the wave.
02:24:49.000 And then ask a financial advisor if Phil's advice makes sense.
02:24:52.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:24:52.000 And then do that.
02:24:53.000 If you're going, oh, yeah, you're right.
02:24:54.000 Like, this isn't financial advice, but like, it's the SP and the Dow have been the best investments.
02:25:02.000 So, like, overall, not a specific company in these markets, but.
02:25:07.000 Well, it's because it's a collection of the best companies.
02:25:10.000 You're investing in America.
02:25:12.000 Yep, basically.
02:25:13.000 So, you know, historically, that has been.
02:25:17.000 The one of the best ways to invest your money is better than you know, any if you invest in the whole market as opposed to picking individual stocks, you know, you're insulated and stuff, and dollar cost average.
02:25:30.000 But talk to a financial advisor when it comes to in your 20s, like you were saying, it's the fuck off time, which I fully engaged in.
02:25:37.000 Do you think people should get married young?
02:25:38.000 Do you think they should just kind of throw caution to the wind?
02:25:40.000 And it's not about caution to the wind.
02:25:43.000 The biggest problem people have marriages is that, bro, marriages used to be built upon people growing up near each other.
02:25:50.000 You married the person that you were a teenager with.
02:25:53.000 Oh, you knew them.
02:25:54.000 And you had similar worldviews.
02:25:56.000 You went to church together.
02:25:57.000 You wanted similar things.
02:26:00.000 Now it's like some dude who grew up in New York marries a chick who's from Orange County and they live completely different lives, but they're lusting after each other and they're like, this works.
02:26:09.000 And then eventually, dude's like, I enjoy a nice meal with a fine suit.
02:26:13.000 And she goes, nah, on the beach in a swimsuit, eating a burger.
02:26:17.000 And then eventually that stuff rips you apart.
02:26:19.000 You want different things.
02:26:21.000 You want to talk about money, where you want to invest your money together, your politics, your religion.
02:26:28.000 And I don't know, you think people should go for it?
02:26:32.000 I got married at 23, five years married now.
02:26:36.000 I think a lot of people in my generation kind of have a bit of a commitment phobia, which is, I think, culturally popular.
02:26:45.000 But the biggest piece of advice I ever got on this was that love is not in motion, it's a commitment.
02:26:51.000 Or if you're a Christian, it's a covenant.
02:26:52.000 Um, so making that decision and sticking with it and fighting for it every day, um, but yeah, getting married young is awesome.
02:27:00.000 I found that like being able to do things with your partner is really what builds like marriage is the word means mix, so like you're marrying your daily activity together with your engagement, you're mixing daily activities, you're with each other.
02:27:12.000 Then there's the legal marriage, which is the paperwork you sign, then there's the spiritual marriage, like the covenant you mentioned, which is literally like your souls become bound.
02:27:19.000 I think, I mean, it they do, yeah, um.
02:27:23.000 But it's important.
02:27:24.000 I think it's important not to rush into it.
02:27:25.000 I've seen a lot of people's marriages fail.
02:27:27.000 So, and get some.
02:27:28.000 But what do you think?
02:27:29.000 Prenup and then married?
02:27:30.000 Did you guys do prenup?
02:27:31.000 Absolutely not.
02:27:32.000 No.
02:27:32.000 No need.
02:27:34.000 If you got a bunch of money, if you have a bunch of net worth, prenup's not a bad idea.
02:27:37.000 Nope.
02:27:37.000 That's what divorce lawyers say anyway, but that's all they focus on is divorce.
02:27:40.000 So, nope.
02:27:41.000 Don't care.
02:27:43.000 Nope.
02:27:44.000 If you're marrying someone and you're like, I need a prenup, like you're already telling yourself we're in trouble.
02:27:48.000 Yeah.
02:27:48.000 You need to be marrying.
02:27:50.000 Like, I told my wife, it's very simple death before dishonor.
02:27:57.000 And she was like, oh, great.
02:27:59.000 And I was like, that's on me.
02:28:00.000 Like, we have very similar values.
02:28:00.000 You know what I mean?
02:28:02.000 We both grew up Catholic.
02:28:04.000 We're both lapsed Catholics, but we both like the same music.
02:28:06.000 We both want the exact, like, we grew up in the similar place, the similar weather.
02:28:10.000 It's honestly, it's the way people need to do it.
02:28:12.000 You know why?
02:28:13.000 Because when my wife says something about, like, the kind of music she wants to go see at a show, it's the same music I like.
02:28:19.000 When she talks about the kind of vacations she wants to go, and I'm like, oh, yeah, that sounds great.
02:28:22.000 That's the exact kind of thing I want to do.
02:28:23.000 So it's, I don't need a prenote.
02:28:27.000 I was like, I don't know who else I'd hang out with.
02:28:30.000 I mean, like, if I want to go listen to Alkaline Trio and then, you know, go skiing or something, it's like, my wife's right here.
02:28:40.000 It's going to be epic.
02:28:40.000 We're good.
02:28:42.000 Nobody else knows all the words to every single Alkaline Trio song.
02:28:44.000 Who am I going to sing it with?
02:28:47.000 That's a good feeling.
02:28:48.000 Well, maybe that's part of it.
02:28:49.000 Maybe that's part of buffering against the future because AI is going to get crazy.
02:28:54.000 Gone get crazy.
02:28:55.000 Yeah, crazy at the moment.
02:28:56.000 Man, that answers your question, man.
02:28:58.000 Did you have any more follow up or anything?
02:29:01.000 Yeah, that definitely got a little closer to what I was kind of asking about.
02:29:07.000 The financial thing was a bit of a detour, not going to lie.
02:29:11.000 Yeah.
02:29:12.000 Advice is still appreciated, but nonetheless.
02:29:16.000 Yeah, like doing what you love.
02:29:18.000 Can I give one more piece?
02:29:21.000 Try to find who you are, regardless of what it is you do.
02:29:26.000 I think so many people nowadays identify themselves with the work they do as opposed to finding a specific, like what their true North Star is, independent of.
02:29:35.000 What the world tells them or what their work is.
02:29:38.000 And then, secondly, like, I don't know what you do, man, but I think finding an opportunity to serve your country in some capacity, whether it's like going to do policy stuff in the administration or like going to work for one of the startups out in California doing hard tech stuff with your hands, like, there's plenty of opportunities if you're looking for them.
02:29:57.000 And yeah, I would say pursue that in your 20s for sure.
02:30:02.000 I got to just point to Tim Poolitt for a second playing the BB King, the three string.
02:30:07.000 Is that a three string guitar?
02:30:08.000 It is.
02:30:08.000 It is.
02:30:09.000 Got it from a Hill William out in the Peach West.
02:30:11.000 Ooh, I like the sound of this.
02:30:13.000 A Hill William.
02:30:14.000 Sound of this.
02:30:15.000 Classy West Virginia Hill Billions.
02:30:17.000 Sounds good.
02:30:18.000 You got anything you want to add?
02:30:23.000 Nothing else.
02:30:24.000 A quick shout out.
02:30:25.000 It's a bit of an older story, but I want to shout out to Aaron Spencer out in Arkansas running for Lonoke County Sheriff.
02:30:34.000 I don't know if anybody's heard the story surrounding that, but it's one of the few white pills I've seen recently.
02:30:41.000 Okay.
02:30:42.000 No, yeah.
02:30:43.000 I mean, can you tell it to us really fast?
02:30:43.000 What is it?
02:30:45.000 We got another.
02:30:46.000 Long story short, his daughter was being.
02:30:50.000 Abused by an older gentleman and yikes, he got convicted.
02:30:56.000 That gentleman got convicted, got out on bond, sought out his daughter again.
02:31:02.000 And Aaron Spencer chased him down and put him down, to put it simply.
02:31:09.000 Okay, now he's running for sheriff in his area.
02:31:12.000 Hopefully, he wins in November.
02:31:14.000 Yeah, yeah, face value.
02:31:16.000 I'd say good.
02:31:17.000 That sounds yeah, yeah.
02:31:19.000 So thanks, man.
02:31:20.000 Good shout out, man.
02:31:21.000 Definitely a story to look further into.
02:31:25.000 Love all you guys in the crew.
02:31:26.000 Phil, you're definitely my favorite.
02:31:28.000 And I don't have any advice to you.
02:31:30.000 But if I can suggest some music that I think you all will like, there's this up and coming band.
02:31:35.000 Not sure you've heard of All That Remains.
02:31:38.000 Very good.
02:31:39.000 Yeah.
02:31:40.000 Favorite song from them?
02:31:41.000 What if I was nothing?
02:31:42.000 Oh, very cool.
02:31:43.000 All right.
02:31:44.000 I'll check that out.
02:31:45.000 Thanks for calling in, brother.
02:31:47.000 Thanks, man.
02:31:47.000 Appreciate it, man.
02:31:48.000 Thanks.
02:31:48.000 Take care, bud.
02:31:49.000 What if I was nothing?
02:31:51.000 What if I was something that I wouldn't be?
02:31:53.000 You got to make like an incel version.
02:31:57.000 I am Mikey.
02:31:58.000 Beat.
02:31:59.000 It's so emo as it is.
02:32:01.000 I love it.
02:32:02.000 Have you listened to it?
02:32:03.000 I don't know that song.
02:32:04.000 I don't think I know.
02:32:05.000 Hey, man.
02:32:05.000 What's good, bro?
02:32:06.000 Hey, thank you guys for taking my call.
02:32:09.000 It's a huge honor.
02:32:11.000 Longtime listener, subscriber, first time caller.
02:32:14.000 Thanks for calling in, man.
02:32:17.000 So, my question was about the discussion about the payday loans, pawn shop stuff.
02:32:26.000 Yep.
02:32:26.000 And the predatory nature of all that stuff.
02:32:30.000 And I get it.
02:32:33.000 I grew up poor.
02:32:34.000 I used it a lot.
02:32:35.000 I didn't get any financial advice growing up.
02:32:38.000 My dad didn't believe in discussing that stuff.
02:32:43.000 He thought that was, I don't know, some sort of private thing that you didn't discuss and, you know, you managed it all yourself.
02:32:55.000 And so I didn't know what I was doing growing up.
02:32:59.000 I was abused by the system early on, but.
02:33:05.000 I've also used it for good.
02:33:06.000 So when I was in the construction industry and when the housing market crashed in 2008, I actually had to pawn my first guitar that I still miss to this day, the Gibson SG that my dad bought me in order to pay for a college class to get my state fire certification so I could become a firefighter, hence the moniker Fire Mikey.
02:33:36.000 And while I regret having to do it, it paved the way for my current career that allows me a six figure income.
02:33:46.000 Awesome.
02:33:48.000 But the problem is that, like these payday loans and stuff, what most people don't understand is all that stuff is done by private equity and big banks.
02:34:02.000 And so, what used to be a maybe not advantageous way to do things, it's become so much worse because of the.
02:34:16.000 They're just because they bought up all the local mom and pop shops that used to do it at a, while inflated but somewhat reasonable rate.
02:34:26.000 Now, the interest rates that they charge on everything is just insane like 360% interest.
02:34:36.000 On a really small loan.
02:34:41.000 I just want to get your guys' thoughts on this stuff.
02:34:44.000 I don't know.
02:34:45.000 Usury is like a thing, it's up to interpretation.
02:34:48.000 At what point is it unethical and should it be illegal?
02:34:52.000 But when I hear that, 300% plus on a loan, especially when someone's desperate, man.
02:35:02.000 Like you said, in order to advance your life, you needed an injection of cash that.
02:35:09.000 It's fucking brutal.
02:35:10.000 Ah, 300 is out.
02:35:14.000 It is insane.
02:35:15.000 Nuts.
02:35:16.000 I mean, it's honestly like how much money are you going to be getting in advance for where you'll ever be able to pay that back, right?
02:35:27.000 Like if you're getting, if you're getting, you know, $100, like if you're that hard up and you can't find someone to give you $100, you're never going to be able to pay back $350.
02:35:40.000 You know, I mean, that's just insane.
02:35:44.000 It's just so crazy.
02:35:46.000 So, yeah.
02:35:49.000 You know, biblically, what they would do to those guys, they'd drag them out of their house and light them on fire.
02:35:55.000 People that would like charge exorbitant interest rates.
02:35:57.000 I don't know.
02:35:57.000 I'm just making that up.
02:35:58.000 But I think that they were pretty brutal and that they killed.
02:36:01.000 Well, a lot of the reasons why the Jews were targeted and harassed.
02:36:04.000 Yeah, particularly Jews, because they were money lending and they would have all the records at their houses.
02:36:08.000 There was no digital transaction.
02:36:09.000 So, if you killed them and destroyed, burned their house down, there was no more record of your debt.
02:36:13.000 So, people would go kill them.
02:36:14.000 They'd borrow money from them and then go kill them.
02:36:15.000 It was crazy.
02:36:16.000 So, like, Fight Club.
02:36:17.000 I'm not saying it.
02:36:18.000 I'm not saying to do that.
02:36:19.000 But it's just like, keep in mind how deleterious usury is to the populace and how it'll burst eventually.
02:36:27.000 I think people will snap if they really know it's happening.
02:36:31.000 God damn it.
02:36:32.000 Yeah, but that's exactly what's happening with this Florida and all this other stuff that people are financing their burritos for.
02:36:41.000 Yeah, all that stuff is insane, too.
02:36:43.000 I mean, I know there are people that are doing it.
02:36:46.000 But if I understand correctly, Klarna is going out of business or they stop.
02:36:50.000 Like, they're pretty sure it's still on DoorDash.
02:36:52.000 Is it still up?
02:36:54.000 Klarna.
02:36:55.000 That's who does it.
02:36:55.000 It's a Klarna loan.
02:36:58.000 Yeah, Klarna loan.
02:36:59.000 I said that with an Ohio accent.
02:37:02.000 Wait, is Klarna on Amazon?
02:37:06.000 Yeah, so, but I mean, it's just insane.
02:37:11.000 Like, the idea that you are going to finance, you know, uh, Your fast food, you know, financing a burrito like that.
02:37:26.000 Financing these days is $20, you know?
02:37:29.000 Yeah, but that's the thing.
02:37:30.000 Like, financing your $20 burrito.
02:37:33.000 Again, like if your monetary problems, if your money situation is so bad that you can't afford a $20 burrito, then you shouldn't be eating out at all.
02:37:44.000 And I know that.
02:37:46.000 A Taco Bell burrito, it's like three bucks.
02:37:48.000 Still, yeah.
02:37:50.000 You know, no one ever said they were good burritos.
02:37:52.000 The burritos they're referring to are Chipotle burritos, and those are good burritos.
02:37:55.000 And my point was, it was funny because Media Matters wrote it up and they were like, conservatives get roasted by Trump support, like MAGA, Civil War, you know.
02:38:04.000 And my point was, bro, we don't want to eat Taco Bell.
02:38:07.000 We want to eat Chipotle.
02:38:08.000 And it's rough when if you want real chicken, rice, and a tortilla without all the shit in it, you've got to work for two hours.
02:38:16.000 Yep.
02:38:17.000 Like that's what people are getting pissed off about.
02:38:19.000 Their option is, oh, don't worry.
02:38:21.000 You can buy three burritos in an hour if you're eating plastic shit.
02:38:26.000 And to be fair, I love Taco Bell.
02:38:27.000 I liked how it tasted, but I'm not a big fan of the value inside my body.
02:38:32.000 You can also buy beans and rice, which I highly recommend black beans and white rice, and just make your own burritos.
02:38:37.000 Because for six bucks, you can make 10 burritos that are nearing the quality of Chipotle if you know what you're doing, but you need other ingredients too.
02:38:45.000 Why are we talking about burritos?
02:38:46.000 Because we're talking about financing them.
02:38:48.000 What was the question, Paul?
02:38:48.000 Oh, God.
02:38:50.000 What do we think of stuff like financing, you know, payday loans and stuff like that?
02:38:56.000 Because.
02:38:57.000 The interest rate is like 350%, he said.
02:38:59.000 It's insane.
02:39:00.000 Which is insane because it really does seem like you're never going to be able to pay that back.
02:39:05.000 And if your financial situation is so bad that $100 is life or death and you can't find someone to give you $100, then you shouldn't be borrowing $100 at 350% because that means you're not going to be able to pay that back ever.
02:39:23.000 That's where that usury combo comes because people get, if someone is desperate and they're like, I'm so fucking hungry, I can't even, I don't know where I, I will, bro.
02:39:33.000 And then these predatory loan agents come in and.
02:39:37.000 Yeah, I strongly, I don't think that most people that are looking at getting a payday loan are doing it because they can't afford food.
02:39:49.000 There are usually other things that they're doing with their money, which contribute to why they're chronically broke.
02:39:56.000 You should have food stamps.
02:39:57.000 If someone's in a very desperate food situation, you're supposed to have some food stamps for healthy food.
02:40:02.000 I mean, people are.
02:40:02.000 Yeah.
02:40:04.000 The other part of my question wasn't necessarily just because of the payday loan, but it's to the big banks and the private equity that have bought up all of the local lenders and they have inflated the rate of inflation because they're the only ones doing the lending because they've bought up all of the local stuff.
02:40:33.000 And they've monopolized it.
02:40:35.000 How conspiratorial are they?
02:40:37.000 They want to destroy, I'm asking, do they want to destroy the fabric of the United States by bankrupting the citizen to make them revolt against the government, which they can't penetrate from the outside?
02:40:46.000 These bankers, these big moneylenders.
02:40:50.000 I don't know.
02:40:51.000 You control the monetary supply, you can control the nation.
02:40:57.000 Henry Kissinger talked about that.
02:40:58.000 Good question.
02:40:59.000 Yeah, really?
02:41:00.000 This is the first I've heard of it.
02:41:00.000 How?
02:41:01.000 This is really, really concerning that big banks are buying up local moneylenders and raising the inflation rates across the board.
02:41:07.000 Or raising the interest rates, rather.
02:41:09.000 I think Josh Hawley has legislation to ban this.
02:41:12.000 I'm interesting.
02:41:13.000 Okay.
02:41:13.000 I think it's him and Elizabeth Warren together.
02:41:16.000 So it's like bipartisan.
02:41:18.000 Yeah.
02:41:18.000 Yeah, the banks don't play sides, they're out to control.
02:41:24.000 It's a vague thing, the banks.
02:41:25.000 I just mean like the big economic organization that's overseeing our Federal Reserve and all those people that control the monetary flow.
02:41:32.000 They don't care about left and right.
02:41:33.000 So it's good that the people on the left and the right are coming together over it.
02:41:38.000 Yeah.
02:41:38.000 You want to add anything else to that, brother?
02:41:41.000 No, I'm good.
02:41:42.000 I appreciate the discussion and I appreciate your son.
02:41:47.000 Death, man.
02:41:47.000 Cheers, man.
02:41:48.000 Thanks for calling in.
02:41:49.000 Thanks for calling in, brother.
02:41:51.000 Yes, sir.
02:41:53.000 Next up, we've got Jonathan Price.
02:41:56.000 Jonathan Price, what's up, man?
02:41:58.000 What's up, dude?
02:41:59.000 Hello, hello.
02:41:59.000 Can you guys hear me?
02:42:00.000 Can you hear me, dude?
02:42:01.000 Loud and clear.
02:42:02.000 Awesome, awesome.
02:42:03.000 So, my question is for Tim.
02:42:05.000 I know that you said that media and content creation is really going downhill, especially because of AI and IA content being all that.
02:42:12.000 That being said, I actually started my own independent media company to keep speaking the truth because for me, it's what God has been calling me to do for.
02:42:22.000 A hot while now.
02:42:24.000 And I just really want to get some tips on how I could grow it into a major company like yours and continue to speak that truth.
02:42:34.000 The big challenge right now is the industry is retracting and they're trying to put everything on networks.
02:42:38.000 So I don't have particularly good advice.
02:42:41.000 The simple thing is make more than everybody else.
02:42:45.000 That's the best thing you can do.
02:42:46.000 You work twice as hard as everybody else, and then you'll just get more visibility.
02:42:51.000 But it's tough, man.
02:42:54.000 When you were flooding the market with content, did you notice that it would diffuse itself?
02:42:58.000 Like, if you put up one video later, it would make the first video get less views, but then over time that changed?
02:43:03.000 If I put videos up at the same time, yes.
02:43:03.000 No.
02:43:06.000 But like my 10 a.m. video would get a shitload of views, then the 1 p.m. will get a shitload of views.
02:43:06.000 Okay.
02:43:10.000 And you scheduled your videos.
02:43:11.000 That's a big thing.
02:43:12.000 Always at the exact same time.
02:43:14.000 So people knew when the videos are coming out.
02:43:15.000 Consistency is massive to dominate the industry.
02:43:18.000 Yep.
02:43:18.000 Yeah.
02:43:19.000 Consistency is super.
02:43:20.000 But you'll also notice, too, that I've been talking about how AI is like fucking everything up.
02:43:24.000 Do you guys see that YouTube just put a bunch of restrictions on the partnership program?
02:43:28.000 Yeah.
02:43:29.000 So they announced that they're doubling the requirement for watch hours to be monetized.
02:43:35.000 And they're now going to require a sustained period, meaning if after a certain amount of time you fall below that threshold, they don't pay you out.
02:43:46.000 So it's getting increasingly more difficult to get monetized.
02:43:49.000 And I believe this is to protect the revenue of creators who invest in businesses.
02:43:55.000 I think the end goal is YouTube wants.
02:43:57.000 When this all started, it's like you're in a bedroom, right?
02:44:00.000 People are podcasting in bedrooms for dirt, cost no money.
02:44:03.000 YouTube wants television quality studio stuff.
02:44:06.000 What they are doing now is ensuring they're basically pulling the ladder up.
02:44:10.000 It's going to get increasingly more difficult.
02:44:12.000 The channels that exist will make more money.
02:44:14.000 X announced they're getting rid of the RevShare program and announcing the Creator program.
02:44:19.000 And now they're not going to pay out on engagement, they're only going to pay out for unique original content.
02:44:29.000 That's interesting.
02:44:30.000 Which means the revenue that exists that is being evenly distributed amongst everybody is going to hyper condense because most of the money that I get on X, I do like three to 5K every two weeks.
02:44:41.000 It'll be like, I'll see a story and then I'll quote it and say, oh, blah, Democrats, Republicans.
02:44:46.000 It'll get 2,000 replies.
02:44:48.000 That makes a lot of money.
02:44:49.000 Not anymore.
02:44:50.000 At the same time, the one thing X needs to do, and I hope they hear this, is if this is the game they're going to play, original content needs to be prioritized in the algorithm.
02:44:58.000 Because we put up clips from the show every day.
02:45:01.000 We are live on X every day.
02:45:04.000 But if they're going to prioritize quotes and comments, well, then no one's going to make money.
02:45:11.000 So the presumption is they are going to start making it so it's in the algorithm, you're going to see more videos from people.
02:45:16.000 That's what they want.
02:45:18.000 And that means the creators are going to make mad money.
02:45:21.000 So actually, I gave you some advice start cranking it on X right now, original content, and then try and get to the creator threshold.
02:45:28.000 It's not going to be easy to do, but.
02:45:30.000 X is going to be big.
02:45:32.000 I got to say, like, the amount of people are going to lose their revenue is massive.
02:45:35.000 Like, 90% of people who get paid on X are not going to get paid anymore because they don't make videos, they don't write articles, they're just getting engagement and the engagement splits.
02:45:45.000 We're a content production studio.
02:45:46.000 We have shitloads of content.
02:45:47.000 We can put up 50, 53 minute clips per day based on the stuff I already record.
02:45:51.000 We're going to make a shitload of money on X.
02:45:53.000 It's crazy.
02:45:53.000 I mean, I already make a good amount of money, but a lot of people pointed out you've got 2.7 million followers.
02:45:58.000 I get something like 100 million hits per, I don't know.
02:46:01.000 I get an insane amount of engagement and hundreds of millions.
02:46:04.000 And they're like, and you make five grand?
02:46:05.000 And I'm like, yeah.
02:46:06.000 They're like, okay, who the fuck wants to be involved in that?
02:46:09.000 If you go on YouTube and get 100 million views, you're getting a couple million bucks.
02:46:16.000 Big.
02:46:17.000 So X is going to pick it up.
02:46:18.000 We'll see.
02:46:20.000 That'll probably be good for weeding out some of the low IQ influencers, right?
02:46:25.000 Steal off of other shit.
02:46:28.000 I hope so.
02:46:28.000 For sure.
02:46:29.000 It's going to be what they're looking to do get rid of the Indian slop accounts and all the slop accounts and stuff.
02:46:36.000 Just repeat the same thing.
02:46:37.000 Yeah.
02:46:39.000 Or just BS.
02:46:41.000 But yeah, so you got anything you want to add?
02:46:45.000 Any follow ups?
02:46:49.000 I would say that I have been.
02:46:51.000 At least trying to get at least daily on X now more than I had been before.
02:46:58.000 So, you know, I'm still kind of doing that.
02:47:00.000 But for me, I'm working a full time job, sometimes working like 60 to 70 hours a week on very busy weeks.
02:47:11.000 But so my time is limited, but I do try to do as much as I can with the little time that I do have.
02:47:18.000 But yeah, that's really all that I have for now.
02:47:23.000 Um, but if you guys, uh, just quick shout out.
02:47:27.000 Um, if you want to learn everything that I do, you go to pricemedia.com, P R Y C E media.com to find out everything that I do, um, on there, all my channels and what I do.
02:47:41.000 Um, but also shout out to the Discord server.
02:47:44.000 I'm not in it as much because I'm very little time, but it's a great Discord server and really, uh, glad that I'm a part of it.
02:47:52.000 Awesome, man.
02:47:53.000 Awesome, thanks for calling in.
02:47:55.000 You guys have a good night.
02:47:55.000 Thank you.
02:47:56.000 You too.
02:47:58.000 And last but not least, who is it?
02:48:01.000 All right, tinfoil wizard hat.
02:48:04.000 What's up?
02:48:04.000 Hello there.
02:48:06.000 What up?
02:48:06.000 Hello, hello.
02:48:07.000 Can you guys hear me?
02:48:08.000 Hello.
02:48:08.000 Oh, yeah.
02:48:10.000 All right, sweet.
02:48:11.000 So mine's more of an anecdote following up on a long going topic as opposed to like a traditional question and can generate discussion for you guys if you're cool with that.
02:48:21.000 Sure, yeah.
02:48:21.000 All right, so I'm a former federal employee with a non teaching degree and I became a teacher a few years ago.
02:48:29.000 And so I have firsthand experience on what's going on in the universities today for the next generation of teachers.
02:48:36.000 And some of the places are not too kosher, so to speak.
02:48:41.000 The school I went to, the final class before you did your unpaid semester or year of student teaching, there was only one teacher that taught it, and he was a DEI person's dream, a DEI hiring agent's dream.
02:48:57.000 And he was a typical far lefty.
02:48:59.000 And he made us do a privilege walk.
02:49:01.000 Are you guys familiar with the privilege walk?
02:49:03.000 Yep.
02:49:05.000 Is that where you like take a step?
02:49:06.000 Yeah, explain it.
02:49:07.000 Yeah.
02:49:07.000 Oh, man.
02:49:08.000 It's where you have a bunch of different situations and you give yourself a score one through five of, oh, are you ever afraid to walk home alone at night?
02:49:17.000 Have you ever felt discriminated against against your skin color?
02:49:19.000 Very subjective things, right?
02:49:21.000 Obviously, trying to point out white and male privilege.
02:49:24.000 And he was very smug the entire time.
02:49:27.000 Funny enough, two Hispanic people, a man and a woman, had the highest scores by far.
02:49:31.000 Huh.
02:49:33.000 And what's even more messed up, but also funny, is before we did that walk, we had chosen our final presentation topic, and he forced them to change theirs to something like inherent whiteness or inner whiteness or something along those lines to show why they had white privilege, even though they weren't white.
02:49:54.000 Perfect.
02:49:55.000 It was, yeah.
02:49:58.000 So I'm just letting you guys know that it's, and he was the only one that taught that course.
02:50:03.000 So you were forced to take it.
02:50:04.000 Thankfully, I. Had already been through college.
02:50:06.000 I was late 20s by this point, so I could see through his BS, but there's a lot of people out there who don't know better.
02:50:11.000 So I'm just opening that part up for discussion.
02:50:14.000 What school was that?
02:50:15.000 Have you guys heard anything?
02:50:18.000 I have not heard anything about what exactly?
02:50:22.000 Any other anecdotes or stories from listeners?
02:50:26.000 Oh, no, not really.
02:50:28.000 Not off the top of my head.
02:50:29.000 I mean, my anecdote is that when I was at Occupy Wall Street, I was there to read the Constitution to the crowd to explain property rights and gun rights.
02:50:35.000 Why we're doing this, and they were not interested.
02:50:38.000 They said, We've had too many white people speak.
02:50:41.000 Sorry, get out of here, cracker.
02:50:44.000 Some idiot stood up and just mumbled.
02:50:46.000 I'm like, Well, there it goes.
02:50:47.000 I guess I'm done with this.
02:50:50.000 What's cool was this?
02:50:51.000 It was a University of Texas, San Antonio, UTSA, huh?
02:50:56.000 Yeah, yeah, I can see that.
02:50:59.000 I mean, it doesn't really matter.
02:51:01.000 Not, I mean, obviously, for your context and for your personal experience, it matters, but like.
02:51:07.000 This is basically the way it is all over the country.
02:51:10.000 It doesn't matter which school, they're all like that, or almost all of them.
02:51:14.000 You'd think that a school in red, Texas, might be insulated from this stuff, but it's not at all.
02:51:24.000 Got anything you want to add?
02:51:28.000 There was a secondary point about the non union teachers union in Texas, because unions are illegal for teachers in Texas.
02:51:36.000 So it's like a non union kind of thing.
02:51:38.000 The last couple of years, they've been preaching.
02:51:40.000 And I, they've been encouraging teachers to teach, and I quote, our true history and the support and respect of our LGBT students deserve, and also to push, and I quote, racial and social justice in the classrooms.
02:51:53.000 So, and they're also throwing in for James Tallarico in Texas right now, who is a crazy lefty.
02:51:59.000 Sounds gay.
02:52:00.000 Yeah.
02:52:02.000 I mean, yeah, again, it's the reason why I think people should homeschool their kids.
02:52:09.000 Like, there's no reason to go to college anymore except for like the social experience.
02:52:13.000 And the social experience is just being inundated with leftist garbage.
02:52:17.000 Bro, you just go to like a college area of Chicago and you just walk up and down streets until you find the party.
02:52:22.000 That's what we used to do.
02:52:23.000 I didn't go to college.
02:52:24.000 So, what we would do is we'd pick up a six pack bottles.
02:52:28.000 We would then walk, just we'd go down a street, turn, go down the next street, see people walking into a house, hear music, walk up, try the door, doesn't open.
02:52:37.000 We knock, guy opens up and he's like, What's up?
02:52:39.000 And we're like, What up?
02:52:41.000 And then, if they usually just let you in, usually the door is open, you walk in.
02:52:46.000 If that doesn't work, And they open the door, they let you in.
02:52:49.000 If they don't and they say, What's up, you guys will be like, Bro, Bill invited us.
02:52:54.000 And they'll go, Let's go, Bill.
02:52:56.000 Just say a random name.
02:52:57.000 And if they go, Bill, who?
02:52:58.000 They'll be like, Bro, I don't know his last name, dude.
02:52:59.000 I don't know.
02:53:00.000 And they'd be like, Ah, okay, you're good.
02:53:00.000 I just met him at school.
02:53:02.000 You brought beer.
02:53:03.000 Yeah, we brought beer.
02:53:04.000 They'd be like, We don't give a shit.
02:53:06.000 That's it.
02:53:07.000 That's a social experience.
02:53:08.000 You don't need to go to college for that.
02:53:12.000 True.
02:53:13.000 Are you drugs?
02:53:13.000 Are you homeschooling your kids?
02:53:15.000 Yeah, definitely.
02:53:16.000 I'm real excited.
02:53:17.000 How old are they?
02:53:18.000 Well, I used to have one and she's a year and a half.
02:53:21.000 Okay.
02:53:22.000 But, you know, we want to have more.
02:53:23.000 We'll see what happens.
02:53:23.000 Yeah, but think about pod learning and like teaching the kids farming and like taking them to different specializations and hanging out, learning all these.
02:53:30.000 Just, you can learn so much with AI, man.
02:53:33.000 Like, every almost every question can be answered.
02:53:36.000 So many questions that I had as kids.
02:53:37.000 My dad, if he had AI, he could have just on the spot instead.
02:53:40.000 You could have just plugged your brain into the neural net, downloaded it, you know?
02:53:44.000 You could just offer me the red pill.
02:53:46.000 Yeah, I ain't sending my kid anywhere near these institutionalized learning facilities where they get abused by communists.
02:53:52.000 And told to be gay.
02:53:52.000 Nope.
02:53:53.000 Like, my kid's blonde hair, blue eyed, like pasty white.
02:53:58.000 Hell no, my kid ain't going to school like that.
02:54:00.000 You're kidding me?
02:54:01.000 They're going to be like, and you're a little Nazi, aren't you?
02:54:04.000 Yep.
02:54:06.000 So, you got anything you want to follow up with?
02:54:10.000 I'm just saying that there are base teachers out there, guys.
02:54:13.000 Not all of them are crazy.
02:54:15.000 There's others like me, especially in social studies.
02:54:17.000 For now.
02:54:18.000 And one final shout.
02:54:19.000 Oh, sorry.
02:54:19.000 Go ahead.
02:54:20.000 No, I just said for now there are.
02:54:22.000 They'll get rid of you guys soon enough.
02:54:25.000 You'd be surprised how many of those lefties are dropping at like flies as teachers.
02:54:25.000 Fire.
02:54:29.000 Hopefully.
02:54:31.000 And then one final shout out to Phil, my first year teaching, an eighth grader.
02:54:36.000 Uh, he had a list of bands on the board to listen to as he recommended, and all that remains was like the third one on the list.
02:54:43.000 Awesome, love to hear it.
02:54:45.000 Eighth graders, that's great.
02:54:48.000 Get them while they're young, right on, man.
02:54:52.000 Well, thanks for calling in, brother.
02:54:53.000 Thanks so much, man.
02:54:54.000 Thanks, dude.
02:54:54.000 Man, I'm just jamming on this three string guitar, it's tuned to open G. Wow, this is really nice.
02:54:59.000 So it's a little different from what you'd normally expect.
02:55:02.000 Like it.
02:55:03.000 And then we have another cigar box one, but my wife liked that one too much.
02:55:05.000 Like, it's sick.
02:55:06.000 I mean, they're both so cool.
02:55:07.000 The other one's an actual cigar box, and it Fucking, it's amazing.
02:55:10.000 My dad's got one of those.
02:55:11.000 And then this one, I guess it's technically a cigar box three string, but it's like, bro, it's so amazing how he made this.
02:55:17.000 Dude's awesome.
02:55:18.000 I should have got his card so I could shout him out, but we just bought all the stuff from him.
02:55:21.000 I'll come back there someday.
02:55:22.000 All right, everybody.
02:55:23.000 Tomorrow we got Maximilian Garley will be coming on the show.
02:55:27.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.
02:55:29.000 And thank you all so much for hanging out.
02:55:32.000 Chris, it's great having you.
02:55:33.000 Thanks for having me.
02:55:34.000 Anytime.
02:55:34.000 For everybody else, we'll see you back tomorrow morning.
02:55:37.000 Thanks for hanging out.
