On today's show, we have a new segment called "The Green Room" where we talk about the things going on in the world and the things we should be talking about. Today we cover: - Antifa swatters target conservative media and activists - Elon Musk is funding Republican politicians who may impeach judges who are impeding Donald Trump - Steve Bannon says that Trump is running for a third term - and more!
00:00:29.000The DHS will hunt down the swatters targeting conservative figures.
00:00:34.000Over this last night, several more individuals were targeted, notably Owen Schroier of Infoors, and he published a video, and it's actually rather terrifying when you see it.
00:00:46.000Well, firstly, because these men have guns pointed at his house and he walked out carrying his phone and they were like, drop it.
00:00:51.000And he's like, I'm going to record this.
00:00:52.000They make him take his shirt off, walk backwards, get on the grounds, put his hand on his head.
00:00:56.000And this is what the leftists are trying to do.
00:01:01.000It is also the attacks on Tesla, the domestic terror.
00:01:04.000Pam Bondi says this is domestic terror issuing a statement from the DOJ.
00:01:12.000Hopefully, we get some accountability before things escalate too much, but we do have many more stories, not just of the swattings, but of people vandalizing Tesla vehicles.
00:01:20.000In one video, a guy swings a luggage bag at the vehicle causing thousands of dollars with the damage.
00:01:26.000And there's another video guy sticks his hands on the back of his pants, and, yeah, you can figure out where that's going.
00:01:32.000Yikes. Now, Elon Musk is funding GOP politicians who may impeach these judges impeding Donald Trump because it's not just right now, guys, please don't freak out, but it's not just the turning around the trend day-Iragua criminal aliens that Trump has the full authority to do.
00:01:53.000It's not just that a judge ruled that there is no prohibition on any DSM-5 mental disorder in the military.
00:02:02.000I In putting an injunction on Trump's banning of transgender military personnel from serving, the judge went so far as to say, all means all and anyone should be allowed to enlist.
00:02:16.000This means that if you are suffering from paranoid delusions and schizophrenia and you can't tell up from down, you must be affirmed in your belief and allowed to enlist in the military.
00:02:25.000This is the craziest thing I've heard.
00:02:27.000And then, as I said, don't freak out, a judge has ordered male inmates into a female prison.
00:02:33.000And I know that one's going to light people up quite a bit and get them pretty angry.
00:02:36.000So Elon Musk says, let's impeach these judges.
00:02:39.000But you're going to need two-thirds of the Senate, not likely to happen.
00:02:42.000Some activists are saying, just use a simple majority and defund their districts and take away any federal grants they got and see how quick this stops.
00:02:50.000There's a lot more to talk about, ladies and gentlemen.
00:02:52.000Steve Bannon says that Trump is going to run for a third term, which I think is just silly, but sure, we'll talk about it.
00:02:58.000And Greenpeace has been ordered to pay $660 million over the Dakota Access Pipeline protest.
00:03:06.000Before we get said to my friends, make sure you download the Rumble app if you haven't done that already.
00:03:10.000Guys, when you use the Rumble app, you actually get notified of the shows you want to watch.
00:03:14.000And I think outright, that's probably the best function of it.
00:03:18.000You go on the app, you watch our shows, you watch the morning lineup.
00:03:21.000Today we had 77,000 people watching on the morning show.
00:03:27.000For a total concurrent viewership of 104,000, the Rumble Morning lineup has quickly become some of the, I believe, for the time slot, all the shows in the Rumble Morning slot, number one in the country, biggest live streams.
00:03:42.000So if you want to be a part of that movement, if you want to watch, if you want to comment and share these videos, and...
00:03:47.000Check out the biggest shows in the country for Morning News.
00:03:49.000You've got to download the Rumble app and subscribe to Timcast, IRL, so you get those notifications.
00:03:55.000Don't forget, we also got Cast Brew Coffee.
00:03:57.000Fortunately, Ian's Graphene Dream is still sold out because it's, it just, we're making it as fast as we can.
00:04:19.000These green room episodes range from us goofing off and kind of wasting time, but it's funny to really serious conversations about the end of the world, the apocalypse, and serious social issues.
00:04:30.000The idea behind the green room was when the guests are coming in and relaxing before the show starts, everybody's talking.
00:04:36.000And at some point I said, guys, we should film that because that's a really great conversation.
00:07:41.000We have the DHS and the DOJ targeting the far left extremist, the terror.
00:07:45.000But we're going to start with the swatting because we've got an update.
00:07:47.000Owen Schroier, the video put out, is insane.
00:07:50.000DHS will hunt down swatters targeting conservative figures.
00:07:54.000Secretary Christine Nome says under President Trump's leadership, we will not sit idly by.
00:07:57.000As conservative new media and their families are being targeted by false swatting, DHSGov has the ability to trace phone numbers and track location information.
00:08:05.000We will use it to hunt these cowards down.
00:08:07.000This is an attack on our law enforcement and innocent families, and we will prosecute it as such.
00:08:13.000Owen Shore tweeting, just got swatted.
00:08:17.000This is just one of the videos he has, where police came to his door, weapons trained, and brought him out, made him take off his shirt, put his hands up, walked backwards.
00:08:27.000This is manipulating law enforcement to force them to engage in or to cause terror of these individuals.
00:08:34.000There were a couple other individuals that I saw.
00:08:37.000Some of these individuals getting swatted are not particularly prominent, no disrespect, but it's local news picking it up.
00:08:43.000The stories we see tend to be these big national figures, but then in the media, there are smaller conservative personalities being targeted as well.
00:08:50.000Possible that it's foreign agents using like throughputs to get to a local number and...
00:08:57.000I told Chase Geiser, who had experienced this a week ago or so, he was swatted.
00:09:01.000And we talked and I was like, contact your local police department.
00:09:05.000Let them know who you are, that you're a, you know, a streamer.
00:09:08.000And if you are a streamer, you should do the same.
00:09:11.000Because if they know who you are and they know you're prominent, if they get that call, they're going to know ahead of time that they don't necessarily need to kick the door down.
00:09:16.000Yeah. There's probably some malfeasance going on.
00:09:19.000It's worth knowing whether you're in the political realm or even if you're just a regular streamer, it's a good idea to let your local law enforcement know to the degree that you can.
00:09:31.000I mean, if you're in a big city, it's harder to get in touch with police and make them aware.
00:09:37.000You can definitely reach out to your local law enforcement and say, look, you know, I'm a low-level public figure, right?
00:09:43.000Just, you know, don't try and pump yourself up, but just be like, look, if someone ever calls in these kind of calls, you know, let me know first, call me.
00:09:53.000You can talk, I'll be, you know, I'll be there.
00:09:54.000This kind of stuff happens from time to time, so it's a really good point, Ian.
00:09:58.000Thanks. And additionally, if this kind of thing, I don't take sides on this, man.
00:10:02.000If this kind of thing was happening too.
00:10:23.000If you look to any prominent liberal, they're going to decry this and say, of course, we oppose this.
00:10:28.000And then they're going to advocate for violence.
00:10:30.000They're going to celebrate Luigi Mangione.
00:10:33.000They're going to turn on Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, who essentially encouraged people to commit acts of terrorism.
00:10:41.000And I'll clarify this with full context.
00:10:43.000Jimmy Kimmel made a joke where he goes, don't vandalize Tesla vehicles.
00:10:49.000Anyway, and then everyone busts out laughing because the implication was to it.
00:10:53.000And Stephen Colbert said he appreciates the tireless effort of the individual who vandalized a bunch of vehicles stealing their tires and said the reason he doesn't condone the violence, that that condemnation comes to the deepest pit of his CBS legal team.
00:11:08.000The insinuation, of course, everyone laughed over the acts of terror.
00:11:11.000I mean, they are shooting up buildings with guns.
00:11:15.000The insinuation is, it's funny that people are doing it and they have no remorse.
00:11:20.000So just real quick, for these prominent liberals who would dare come out and be like, we don't want any of this.
00:11:25.000Yeah, tell Bill Burr to shut the up because these prominent individuals on your side keep calling for more.
00:11:32.000Yeah. Look, the left, I've been in a bit of a back and forth with some people on X about this, whether or not this is terrorism.
00:11:40.000There are people that are saying this isn't terrorism.
00:11:41.000The intent is clearly to frighten people and to harm...
00:11:47.000Harm Tesla, harm people that would buy Teslas, scare people away from supporting Teslas or buying their stock or whatever.
00:11:55.000The intent is to use violence to frighten people for a political end.
00:13:09.000They are only pretending now that Trump does it.
00:13:12.000They are claiming that Trump is pushing us towards a constitutional crisis when Trump uses executive authority as he's allowed.
00:13:18.000And then their judges that violate jurisdiction that extend beyond their jurisdiction make orders of Trump, which he can't abide by, and then say he's causing the crisis.
00:13:30.000They will engage in terror and then they will joke about it and claim it's not happening or act like they don't like it while encouraging it.
00:13:39.000Okay, about this, this Trump deportation, the judge trying to put his stand on it.
00:13:42.000This is a bit of a tangent from this story, but I want to flesh this out.
00:13:45.000So Trump said, Trende Araagua is a terrorist organization.
00:13:49.000And then he said, now, by my legal authority, because they're a terrorist organization that has been invading at the whim of a government, at the will of a government, because he has the paperwork apparently, I can just get them out of here with this 1789 act and the illegal, whatever it was called.
00:14:18.000Okay. It's a tried and it's been in our government for hundreds of years for a reason because it's an important thing for the president to be able to do in a wartime situation or if there's an invasion.
00:14:36.000Okay. But what if it was another foreign group that wasn't really terroristic and the president said they were and then started deporting them?
00:14:42.000You'd think there'd be a lawsuit about the declaration of Tren de Aragua as a terrorist organization in that case.
00:14:46.000Okay. So you have to take it back to the declaration itself.
00:14:50.000Right. So the one thing, the reason I bring up the year is that the corporate press has been using this 18th century law as a means of discrediting it.
00:14:58.000When the great point was made the other day by our super chats, or actually this was yesterday morning on the morning show, murder is codified in law well before the existence of the United States.
00:15:07.000Are we going to go using a 13th century law or a third century law?
00:15:12.000Trump thinks that he's going to be able to bar.
00:15:14.000So you have people who we know are not citizens, we know are criminals.
00:15:17.000The only concern I have is that Trump be transparent and the administration show a list of the individuals that are deported.
00:16:23.000We can have a conversation if Christine Oman and Pam Bondi arrest a bunch of Antifa because they're domestic terrorists and Trump tries to deport them to El Salvador.
00:16:33.000Then we're going to have a conversation.
00:16:35.000Because they're citizens and they should be in an American prison with American due process, American citizens and all the Constitution affords them, even if they're disgusting criminals who are committing acts of terror.
00:16:47.000Like the idea that they're going to catch one of these morbidly obese guys, you know, in all black at a Tesla dealership and then be like, to El Salvador with the I really don't see happening.
00:16:57.000But I will absolutely call out the administration.
00:17:00.000Should they do that, you have my word.
00:17:02.000Yeah, or the next administration if they're like, all right.
00:17:04.000Who's because of the Patriot Act, the president has such authority now since the Patriot Act to be like, this group's bad.
00:17:10.000This group's a terrorist organization.
00:17:11.000I don't know who can challenge the president from declaring that.
00:17:15.000I'm pretty sure literally anyone in the United States could file a lawsuit challenging that declaration.
00:17:19.000Presumably, if you're going to have standing, it's going to be some association with the group.
00:17:24.000So if Trump came out and said the proud boys are terrorists, they could file a suit and say it's an improper designation.
00:17:29.000In fact, I'm not actually sure there is an official domestic terror designation for any American groups because of the First Amendment.
00:17:36.000Labeling foreign groups terrorist organizations is because they're specifically not American.
00:17:41.000So they do not, as foreign entities, they are not subject to the rights of the Constitution.
00:17:46.000When they enter this country, they're now invaders and they are not subject to the rights in the same way.
00:17:50.000If you are an illegal immigrant who entered for, like you came in for economic reasons, you are going to get granted a decent amount of constitutional rights.
00:17:58.000I know a lot of people on the right don't like that, but that's true.
00:18:00.000And the protection is for you, not the illegal immigrant.
00:18:03.000To prevent the government from arresting, searching, and seizing American citizens, it's going to apply to any human body.
00:18:08.000However, if you were a known Trende Aragua member and they're investigating in you, they're going to arrest you, put you in a plane, and send you out, and they're going to say we did.
00:18:17.000And in fact, there's a ruling in 1948, this has gone viral, that already set the court precedent that deportations under the Alien Enemies Act do not require judicial review.
00:18:26.000Correct. Saying that judges have neither, what did it say, neither the jurisdiction nor the competence or something like that effect.
00:18:35.000Could you imagine, I mean, I don't want to go too far into this because we are going to talk about it later, a scenario where with all these people, I said, imagine this.
00:18:44.000Donald Trump tells Israel, we are going to cut military funding and aid and pull our personnel unless you stop bombing Gaza.
00:18:51.000And Israel says, no, we're going to keep doing it.
00:19:32.000And so you get these judges like, it wasn't invasion.
00:19:34.000Therefore, these people cannot be deported.
00:19:36.000And that's the point of the Supreme Court.
00:19:38.000So the issue is the president has the authority as it pertains to law enforcement and the law says he can do this.
00:19:46.000It's insanity that anyone would be arguing that a single district court, a lower court, could order the president stop international negotiations.
00:20:28.000And Putin shakes his hand and then pops up CBS News and they say, a lower court judge banged the gavelin said, no, we're going to keep funding the Ukrainians.
00:20:38.000Putin would be like, why am I wasting my time talking to a man who can't make a deal?
00:20:41.000Yeah. So it's insane to think that Trump can't set this policy.
00:20:46.000This does speak to the broader fact that there's, you know, many, you know, many judges that are, I don't know if there's actually a concerted effort or if it's just because of their ideological bent, but they're trying to stymie the elected president.
00:21:03.000You know, trying to prevent him from doing things that he was elected to do.
00:21:07.000And this is a problem, obviously because the president is elected by the people to perform duties that the people want.
00:21:17.000So if he gets elected and these judges are going to just say, well, we have a different ideology than the majority of the people that voted for the president.
00:21:24.000And so we're going to interpose ourselves between the president or between the people.
00:21:57.000There will be a difference in the branch's influence over a long period of time.
00:22:03.000The issue at hand is when a judge extends beyond his jurisdiction, that is, foreign affairs, international negotiations, and powers under the executive solely for foreign relations.
00:22:15.000If Donald Trump said, I'm going to transport this criminal from, this federal prisoner from New York to California for the purpose of trial.
00:22:24.000And a lower court district judge in D.C. bang the governor to stop, turn that car around.
00:22:57.000Pam Bondi calls Tesla vandalism domestic terrorism, promising steep consequences.
00:23:03.000The Attorney General echoed remarks by President Trump, as protesters against Elon Musk and his efforts to shrink the government have defaced and destroyed Tesla vehicles.
00:23:12.000And now the Post-Molennial reports, activist group Indivisible Tennessee to stage Tesla protests at Franklin, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga.
00:24:21.000What they would have done four years ago is put a bunch of FBI agents in the protest, pretending to be protesters, and made it go violent on purpose so that they could arrest them all.
00:24:30.000Now, what they should do is probably keep an eye on the protest if they get out of line, crackdown.
00:24:36.000So this was an issue during the BLM riots, right?
00:24:38.000So historically, most of Fortune 500 CEOs have voted Republican, something like 70%.
00:24:46.000Not one Fortune 500 CEO had a negative opinion about BLM, right?
00:24:51.000This was a Marxist, violent organization.
00:24:58.000Their headquarters would have been firebomb.
00:25:00.000Their employees would have been beaten up.
00:25:02.000So this has been going on for a long time.
00:25:04.000I think this is a big reason why corporations bent the knee and turned into these woke beasts.
00:25:10.000It's absolutely, it's got to be treated the exact same way that they would treat right-wing political violence, which is absolute crackdown.
00:25:37.000They should be, you know, Maxine Waters was saying things like, oh, you know, you don't give them a moment's rest, you know, get in their faces at bars, etc.
00:25:46.000The, the, uh, Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, former Vice President in the United States, Kamala Harris, she was telling people, look, this is who you call if you want to, or she was advertising a website that would help defend people that were arrested.
00:26:02.000So she was promoting the defense fund for people that were arrested, arrested for crimes, not arrested for protesting, arrested for crimes.
00:26:10.000in in during the protests and the riot so the the idea that there is a equal playing field between the right and the left that's just ridiculous it's completely and totally not true yeah the and the left need the the current because of the way that the DOJ and the FBI are structured now they need to come down on the people that are committing these crimes extremely hard.
00:28:34.000Right. I mean, relative to, so let's say there's some dude who works at a big tech Silicon Valley firm and he makes $120,000 a year and he's got $10K in his bank account saved up.
00:28:44.000And he says, I'm going to go spend $1,000 on bricks.
00:28:47.000I always hear people say, like, who paid for this?
00:28:49.000And I'm like, guys, it's not that expensive to do some of these things.
00:28:51.000A couple hundred bucks can get signs printed up.
00:28:53.000I guess you'd have to take into account, one, how much was spent on the terrorism to get it funded, and two, how much damage was done by the terrorism after the fact and put those two things together.
00:29:03.000Or not necessarily additive, but it's both important.
00:29:06.000Because I think, because if someone spends $100 million to try and get some terrorist event done and the event fails and no damage is done, That's not so, I mean, it's still $100 million was spent on terrorism, but there's no damage.
00:29:22.000Correct. I mean, you can, you can absolutely prosecute for a conspiracy to commit, you know, a terrorist terrorist attack.
00:29:28.000So the more money put into it, the more likely it would be considered a conspiracy by charge.
00:29:33.000Well, I mean, if there are people that are planning, you know, multiple people that are planning, because you mentioned RICO earlier, if there are multiple people planning on doing something, that in and of itself is a crime.
00:29:55.000There may be better legal scholars here, but, you know, if you've got a bunch of mafia guys who are sort of joking, not joking, like, hey, take care of him, ha ha, wink.
00:30:06.000The prosecutor would be very interested in all those kinds of statements.
00:30:09.000And, you know, whether or not it was sort of a wink-wink statement is immaterial.
00:30:13.000Honestly, if that, if it can be that loose, I'd round up people like Jimmy Kimball, too.
00:30:19.000Because if it's as loose as, hey, take care of him, wink, wink, anyone that said things about, you know, Free Luigi or whatever, they're advocating.
00:30:28.000the, you know, they're supporting terrorists, they're aiding and abetting or whatever.
00:30:33.000If it, I don't know that it is, but if it is that kind of loose association, round them up too.
00:30:40.000Well, money and I think, like, leadership structure are traditionally used to define, like, a RICO organization.
00:30:48.000Okay. So if person A is commanding person B to do something...
00:30:52.000And then they usually look at the money because generally money ties it all together.
00:30:55.000So, you know, if you look at those for Antifa, I think that would be absolutely fascinating.
00:30:59.000Unfortunately, then it's probably the people that are on late-night TV making jokes.
00:31:03.000You probably don't want to go that far because at that point it is second or First Amendment advocacy.
00:31:08.000The challenge is that what we're saying, we described it as the ice bucket challenge of terrorism.
00:31:37.000And he's going to just go, I was talking about buying ice cream.
00:31:40.000So doesn't that work with ISIS, for example, when they're recruiting people?
00:31:44.000So the organization is intentionally atomistic.
00:31:47.000They don't have an hierarchical structure because they're trying to, you know, sort of deny connections.
00:31:53.000So if you define Antifa, for example, if you designate that as a terrorist organization, then at that point, I guess you can trigger and everything you use against ISIS.
00:32:03.000And of course you can because they're international, which is that a lot of people don't understand this.
00:32:07.000When there were discussions about labeling Antifa a terrorist organization.
00:32:12.000Many on the right and the left, largely leftists, were like, you can't.
00:32:16.000Domestic groups can't be declared terrorists because of the First Amendment.
00:32:20.000And then people pointed out, Antifa's an international entity.
00:32:24.000So if Americans pledged allegiance to Hamas or ISIS or whatever group, yeah, you're going to get charged.
00:32:30.000You can get charged with terror providing material support or otherwise.
00:32:47.000So, however, the challenges for an American citizen who's not Antifa or anything like that, they've been making social media videos saying things like, why won't someone just do it?
00:32:58.000And then people know what there's a reference to.
00:33:01.000But if you were to that, the video can't get banned.
00:33:17.000This is the complicated part of free speech is your system is vulnerable to insinuation and like mind control and manipulation through legal channels.
00:33:26.000Yeah, well, that's why earlier I was saying money and hierarchy.
00:33:29.000I think that you really can't get past that because otherwise you're impinging too much on First Amendment.
00:33:34.000And if there's no money, if it's just random comments because now that we have social media, you don't necessarily need a hierarchy.
00:34:12.000I mean, there are some things, I think, might get you in trouble.
00:34:14.000Like, if you're messing with, like, the command structure of the military and you're saying you're going to go do something, they'll, they might come in and try and check you out.
00:34:22.000But generally, you're allowed to make threats if they're not imminent threats.
00:34:30.000Yeah. You can't direct people to do things or declare you're about to do a thing.
00:34:34.000But when Bill Burr said that he thought people should commit heinous acts against billionaires, that's just a thought he's allowed to have.
00:34:40.000Right. We got this story here from Graby, and it's a clip from Colbert.
00:34:46.000Colbert on Tesla cars getting wheels stolen.
00:34:48.000I do not condone this, but I do appreciate your tireless efforts.
00:34:52.000So we've got Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel essentially advocating for the terrorism that we're seeing.
00:34:58.000I don't know where this clip start, but let's roll it.
00:35:03.000Trump is not destroying everything we love all on his own.
00:35:06.000He's getting a big assist from Tesla CEO and...
00:35:13.000And guests of the White Lotus undressing that corpse with his eyes, Elon Musk.
00:35:19.000That has led a lot of protests around the country at Tesla dealerships.
00:35:24.000I do not condone violence or vandalism of any kind.
00:35:27.000That is a deeply held belief of mine that comes from the bottom of my CBS legal department.
00:35:35.000With that in mind, I find it interesting that there's a growing trend of cyber trucks being vandalized and used as skate ramps or covered in garbage.
00:38:17.000I'll tell you what, I will never complain about a destination wedding again.
00:38:21.000Russia has been hit with a series of crippling sanctions, and it looks like there's more to come, because the U.S. and its European allies are now discussing banning imports of Russian oil.
00:41:05.000Like, this guy, since his Colbert report, would just say fake stuff.
00:41:09.000He would just lie to people, but it was in the guise of comedy.
00:41:12.000Like, they act like their news agents, and then they, in one, but one sentence, they'll just lie, and it's supposed, but it's okay, because I'm a comedian, so I'm allowed to lie to you.
00:41:22.000The setup to the joke is implied to be the truth and the punchline is implied to be the lie.
00:41:27.000But they will lie in the setup as if they're telling you the truth.
00:41:31.000So on the daily show a few weeks ago, with the gutting of USAID, the setup for the joke is today, you know, Elon Musk went into the USAID and began firing lots of people cutting foreign aid to developing nations.
00:45:00.000The Hutu would constantly make jokes about violence like this.
00:45:06.000They'd be like, I mean, like it was a component of the media that it was culturally prevalent and normal among the Hutu to say the Tutsi...
00:45:16.000are bad and should be wiped out and all those things.
00:45:18.000When they start going on TV and gloating and laughing about violence and terror against regular people, that's the direction we're going.
00:45:28.000Unless you go to Colbert and say, Stephen, I'd like to explain to you how this is going to lead to chaos.
00:45:33.000I mean, I told this to Jack Dorsey's face.
00:45:36.000And you all laughed at me, but who's laughing now?
00:45:38.000Nobody actually, because we're all terrified.
00:45:40.000But when I was on the Rogan podcast with Jack Dorsey and Vijay, one of the last things we talked about, I said, if you guys keep doing this, you are pushing this country to a civil war.
00:45:49.000And they were like, I don't know about that.
00:45:52.000A couple years later, I was like Mike Cernovich, you know, remember when Tim Poole warned them in 2019?
00:45:56.000It's been two years and then all this stuff is happening.
00:45:58.000Yeah, now it's 2025 and it's worse than we've ever seen.
00:46:01.000The swaddings and the terror attacks is the worst we've seen it.
00:46:05.000They are, they, when you have the Summer of Love riots, it's bad, but it's indiscriminate.
00:46:11.000It was just leftists going crazy in their own cities.
00:46:14.000Today, There were two assassination attempts on Donald Trump, technically a third four and one, but I mean two domestic ones.
00:46:21.000And now you have directed terrorism from the left targeting conservative personalities at their homes.
00:46:28.000I keep thinking, I was listening to the show last night too, and I'm like, uh, civil war.
00:47:12.000So I think they've had this kind of long march through the institutions, right?
00:47:16.000And they've been playing that year by year, generation by generation.
00:47:19.000I think a big part of that has been capturing the deep state.
00:47:22.000In other words, using tax revenue to sort of create this fake left.
00:47:28.000But another big part of it, I think, has been indoctrinating the kids.
00:47:31.000So every generation gets lefter and lefter because of how they've used the education system.
00:47:36.000Now, I think what happened is in COVID, They saw what they thought was the opportunity of the century, that they were going to move the ball like 30 yards, right?
00:47:48.000Because, I mean, just like, it was just handed to them by fate.
00:47:53.000They needed another generation or two to really completely seal the deal to, you know, indoctrinate enough Americans so that we could never, ever get back.
00:48:57.000They're making mistakes, just like they made mistakes in 2020.
00:49:04.000Yes, and it's like an immune response, like the body has developed immunity.
00:49:08.000You don't need 100% protection to have immunity, and there's still viruses attacking organs and things, but the body's immunity has overtaken the problem, so the viruses aren't in control of the system anymore.
00:49:18.000That is what it feels like, and these acute little bouts of inflammation are like, and my hope it's that it is just part of the healing process.
00:49:27.000You know, the future's unwritten, obviously we're influencing right now.
00:49:31.000So do you have a sense of where this is headed?
00:49:34.000Because me and Tim, like, you know, Tim said, there's, you know, there's no off ramp.
00:49:39.000And that's something that we've been saying around here a lot.
00:49:41.000I don't see an off ramp because I don't know if you can't get people on the left.
00:49:48.000to say things like, yes, it's bad for there to be terrorist activity because they believe that Donald Trump is a fascist or that these things that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing will somehow lead to fascism, which I don't understand how they can conceive of that, but take at their word that they believe that.
00:50:10.000If they believe that, then there isn't anything that's beyond the pale to do to prevent a fascist takeover.
00:50:18.000That's part of why I don't see an offering.
00:50:21.000What's your sense of what the next, you know, year's going to bring or two years?
00:50:26.000Yeah, I think there's always like a hardcore, whether it's five or 20 percent.
00:50:30.000And those people maybe are beyond redemption.
00:51:14.000Yes, we were losing ground, but not that badly considering that we had absolutely zero voice.
00:51:19.000So I think that if you look back over the past 150 years, right, the period of left-wing domination of newspapers and then TV and then radio and so on, I think they were actually in a really, really good spot here.
00:51:30.000I was shocked that media pulled out all the stops going into the 24 election, right?
00:51:50.000If you look at the new media, I mean, people like us, but just, you know, you've got new guys on like YouTube and X all the time.
00:51:57.000These people are so much higher quality than the garbage that is being peddled.
00:52:01.000I think that what we're looking at now is that 60 people who are in their 60s or 70s, they're slowly being replaced by people who are in their 20s.
00:52:14.000So the media is trending in our direction.
00:52:16.000The left had been convinced so long that time was on their side because both immigration, illegal immigration, and capturing the education system.
00:52:25.000Now when I look at media and I look at the trends in there, time is on our side.
00:52:29.000So we're already in control right now.
00:52:31.000We are discovering the last Fedain, like the last insane Japanese soldiers living in the forest at this point, these guys doing the violence, right?
00:52:40.000This is no longer controlled, like, mature opposition.
00:52:45.000So it looks bad at the moment, but I think we're actually, it's like when the fever breaks and you start healing.
00:52:52.000Let's jump to this story from the New York Times.
00:52:54.000Musk donates to GOP members of Congress who support impeaching judges.
00:52:59.000It's a big story because all of these judges are seeking to obstruct Donald Trump's rulings, protecting USAID, protecting federal workers, stopping deportations, and now stopping Donald Trump's banning of transgender people serving in the military.
00:53:14.000Some activists have argued don't bother impeaching because you need two-thirds majority of the Senate.
00:53:20.000Why don't you just defund their districts with a simple majority?
00:53:24.000But as much as I can appreciate this, Musk doing this is intending to drive that story, which will hopefully empower the senators who are doing well.
00:53:33.000Charlie Kirk talked at the end of last year about going after these senators who are rhinos and are not supporting real accountability.
00:53:40.000But this goes back to the question of Donald Trump's authority and the Constitution.
00:53:44.000And so we were just talking about conflict in this country, civil war versus revolution.
00:53:50.000I would say that the conflict has reached the highest levels under Donald Trump today.
00:53:57.000In Trump's first term, they were accusing him of being a Russian spy.
00:54:01.000They were imprisoning the people who worked with him.
00:54:04.000They were Flynn before he even got started.
00:54:06.000They didn't put him in prison, but they ran him over the coals.
00:54:09.000Carter Page was run through the coals, all of these things.
00:54:11.000You had Manafort was actually charged and Politico reported that it was Ukraine who fed those documents to the U.S. They could go after him.
00:54:18.000Now Donald Trump is president again, and they seem to be on the outs, but they are still fighting.
00:54:23.000So it may be that this is the back end of the conflict, and things are going to start simmering down now that Trump is in control.
00:55:31.000Now that I don't think that Tim's got points, I just think that the left isn't going to go away that easy.
00:55:37.000And I think that the left in the U.S. and generally, these philosophies that people have, whether they're fully thought out or if they're just emotional inclination, I don't think that...
00:55:52.000I think they're significantly part of us.
00:55:55.000Like, if you're a right-leaning person, I think that's a strong portion of it is because of your personality.
00:56:02.000If you're a left-leaning person, I think a strong portion of it is because of your personality.
00:56:08.000Like, you know, Jordan Peterson and...
00:56:10.000John Hight both talk about those kind of things.
00:56:12.000Peterson talks about the, you know, your, your, your psychology and on Hight talks about the things that kind of, um, lead you to have your political opinions in the, the righteous mind.
00:56:34.000And I think that that's what the left kind of thought when Barack Obama was elected.
00:56:38.000They thought that, okay, we're kind of reached an end of history point from now on.
00:56:42.000The Republicans are going to be only a regional, you know, in the South, and they'll put up their candidate every year, and every four years, and every four years, we're going to stomp them.
00:56:52.000We'll always win forever, and we own the country now, you know?
00:56:55.000Yeah. So there's a fascinating book called Darwinian Politics by guy named Paul Rubin, and he's got kind of models of what motivates left and right.
00:57:06.000And essentially, right is focused on out-group domination, and the left is focused on in-group domination.
00:57:14.000Both of these are very necessary in sort of a Darwinian situation, because otherwise your genes are going to be eliminated, either by the next tribe over or by the hot guy, whatever.
00:57:24.000the guy who hunts well and then gets all the girls.
00:57:26.000And so we have it built in to resist in-group out-group.
00:57:29.000And those manifest in modern terms in the left and the right.
00:58:17.000We all have equal rights to, you know, nobles are not supposed to be punished at different at lighter penalties, even though they in practice are.
00:58:25.000But anyway, we've already resolved those questions largely.
00:58:28.000The question now is, what about this violent hand and glove of the government?
00:58:31.000That, I think, is absolutely defeatable.
00:58:34.000I didn't expect Doge to uncover what it did.
00:58:38.000I was thinking it would be exciting because it would lower government spending.
00:58:41.000That would bend the curve on inflation.
00:58:43.000Maybe we could get rid of some regulations.
00:59:36.000To your point, like, there was this hardcore band that I listened to in the 90s called Earth Crisis, and they were a straight-edge, hardcore band.
00:59:45.000You would think that because they were straight-edge, no drugs, you know, you would think that they were, they would be leftists.
00:59:52.000And they might have considered themselves the leftists, but they were absolutely and totally against abortion.
00:59:58.000Because it's killing it to them, they were like, this is killing an innocent life.
01:00:02.000You know, and there's this one song that's, that's, it's called Firestorm and it's one of the best hardcore songs ever written, but it's like the whole point of it is.
01:00:12.000is going through town and cleaning up the drug, the drug addicts and the dealers and the people that are, you know, basically destroying society, which is very, it sounds very right leaning, but they would have, they were vegans, they were straight edge, they were all about animal liberation, which are, you're strongly associated with the left today.
01:00:34.000And so to Tim's point, there was a time where it wasn't so, clearly left and right were so polarized, there were actually issues that someone on the right and someone on the left could agree on.
01:00:48.000Nowadays, it's almost as if people take their positions based on what the other party decides.
01:00:56.000Well, right now, there is America, which is post-liberals, disaffected liberals, libertarians, conservatives, MAGA, even some neocons, and then there is the, I guess you'd call it, the anti-party.
01:01:11.000The liberals of this country are literally, we have no plans, we are just your opposition.
01:01:16.000So you have forces of light, creation, protection, expansion, discussion, enlightenment.
01:01:50.000But the thing is that Donald Trump is essentially Bill Clinton.
01:01:53.000In other words, he is occupying that centrist space, but just like you said, so you have this massive coalition that in terms of what they've always believed in their lives, voter preferences, they're on board with Trump.
01:02:05.000That was a running joke after the election, right?
01:02:25.000Sustained at this point only by corporate media and government money.
01:02:28.000Yeah. I don't even, I've ceded away from using left and right terms as much because since the internet, since 9-11 and the internet, and movies like zeitgeist where people learned about fractional reserve currency for the first time in their lives, they learned about what's called the military industrial complex.
01:02:42.000That wasn't like talking on, CBS never mentioned that in the 90s.
01:02:46.000No one knew that there was fiat, I didn't, was never taught that in school.
01:02:51.000So we had like political differences, but we still got along.
01:02:53.000Then you still have like your anti-war people, but it's just what you said.
01:02:59.000The media came in and kept brainwashing and the people that were like resistant to it were able to start thinking for themselves and they broke away.
01:03:06.000And that was a great majority of the population.
01:03:08.000But there's a segment that we just kept watching CBS and they're stuck in this like imperial propagandist loop of like, let's fascistly control your country through banking.
01:03:24.000And you're like, I don't, I personally, like, when I hear people talk about, like, controlling a country through fascist banking, I don't think that that, or at least I don't find that compelling.
01:03:34.000Like, I think that, like, you know, equity markets and markets are good.
01:03:39.000You know, money has a value, has a value, and also there's a price to borrow money.
01:03:43.000I think interest rates shouldn't be set by the Federal Reserve, but the idea of lending money at interest, to me, I don't have a problem with that.
01:03:52.000And it also allows for a lot of production in the economy.
01:03:57.000And I think that you would probably agree with me there, you know?
01:05:10.000So, yeah, I would agree the banking system is a huge problem, but there's a gulf there of explaining the people exactly why.
01:05:16.000I think that for me anyway, like the biggest entry there...
01:05:20.000to explain to people why the banking system is so bad the way it is, is that the Fed is effectively the venture capitalist of every new crisis, every new war.
01:05:27.000If you had to go to the American people and you say, hey, listen, you want to screw around in Afghanistan, three and a half trillion it's going to cost us, but that's okay because we're just going to raise your taxes, so it'll be cool, 100,000 per household.
01:05:51.000When they did the lockdowns, there was an estimate up in Canada.
01:05:53.000I was there, I was in Quebec at the time.
01:05:55.000They estimated that GDP would drop in half.
01:05:58.000which means tax revenue would drop in half, which means government spending drops in half, which means bureaucrats drop in half.
01:06:03.000Now, can you imagine an early meeting during COVID, where you're the junior bureaucrat and you show up, you say, hey, I got an idea, let's shut down everything, we'll just lay off half the government workers, right?
01:06:13.000You're out in Guam, cleaning bathrooms.
01:06:15.000No, instead, they had the Fed, so the Fed could print $6 trillion, exactly finance the crisis.
01:06:21.000So the problem now is whether it's global warming, whether it's a respiratory infection, Okay, whatever the crisis is, the Fed can pump this up.
01:06:29.000And people need to understand that is the dangerous part of Fiat.
01:07:39.000There was a, was there one story where a guy got word in Southern California, something that the banks were shutting down and they were freezing his assets.
01:07:47.000So he got on a horse and he ran as fast as he could on horseback to a bank in a neighboring town and then got his money from that bank instead with the bank notes, some crazy stuff like that.
01:07:56.000Eventually, the government went, guys.
01:08:10.000So what ends up happening is now with this massive system, nobody is actually tracking the hard value behind what currency is, what it's supposed to represent, the labor, the scarcity, etc.
01:08:50.000It means that they were like, someone spent 50 bucks here and we don't know what it was for because the credit card transaction just says Amazon.
01:08:57.000That's when you can't account for something.
01:08:59.000The next thing that happens is the government starts issuing grant money to NGOs who then hire lawyers who live in McLean, Texas and buy $5 million mansions and don't actually do work.
01:09:11.000People like AOC then come out and say, guys, we can literally just deficit spend.
01:09:16.000We don't need to ever balance the budget.
01:09:18.000We just need to bounce the expansion of deficit.
01:09:21.000The argument from these Democrats is if the rate of debt growth...
01:09:26.000the size of the deficit maintains a certain percentage to interest, then we are able to print money indefinitely devalue the currency, but it's stable and it's devaluation.
01:09:41.000So while we would argue our currency should retain its value for the labor we do, the modern argument is so long as we can project the devaluation, we're fine.
01:09:53.000We just don't want to devalue too quickly.
01:09:56.000Too much inflation too quickly would be bad for the scheme.
01:09:59.000Now we are in a system of intentional inflation.
01:10:03.000Well, there's one more piece to the intentional inflation.
01:10:08.000They say that it spurs people to spend money and go out as opposed to sitting on the money.
01:10:16.000So I don't know how much you might have the argument is if there's a certain low amount of inflation, people will not sit on money because things that they want to buy will be more expensive in a year.
01:11:23.000Some things are useful when you're looking busy, like building a Tesla.
01:11:28.000Some things are not like digging up holes and filling them or, say, building ammunition to go launch at countries that we have no fight with.
01:11:35.000And so you want to separate those two things.
01:11:38.000Right. So if you are forcing people to go spend by, you know, essentially eroding their dollar by using inflation, then yes, they will be more busy.
01:11:55.000So what you'd rather do is look at the wealth.
01:11:57.000Now, this matters because right now when we talk about what's happening with the economy, most of what Trump is doing is very, very good for the economy.
01:12:35.000And then the other one is mass deportation.
01:12:37.000So if you bring in a bunch of aliens here who say can't read and you give them a bunch of welfare and you put them up in expensive hotels in Roosevelt, boom, all shows up as GDP.
01:12:47.000If they steal a job for an American, again, shows up to GDP because the American is getting welfare.
01:12:52.000The illegal is now earning a wage, right?
01:12:54.000And so you put that together, and all of it is we're all very, very busy.
01:13:00.000And so that will be a distinction where we may well see a recession this year if Doge actually cut spending and if we, you know, deport two million people.
01:13:09.000Would it be smart to, like, grade our GDP?
01:14:47.000That's always been the deal with central banking, is that some hustler shows up and tells the government, hey, listen, I'm going to finance your debt.
01:14:56.000And in exchange, I want to license to counterfeit money.
01:14:59.000That is the fundamental deal ever since the Bank of Amsterdam, which predated the Bank of England, Bank of Sweden.
01:15:30.000The other three quarters of inflation is the fraction reserve banking we were talking about, which is where banks literally, like when you go for a bank loan, if you go to get a mortgage, the bank will tell you you have to open an account in this bank.
01:17:25.000Well, look at what's going on with USAID.
01:17:27.000Trump kicked a small source of, oh, actually, I'd say a large list of funding.
01:17:31.000We found that we had that $375 billion EPA slush fund that Zeldon found, and there was $20 billion going to climate change NGOs, one of which was formed like the month prior and then received a multi-billion dollar award.
01:18:08.000Imagine there was a group of individuals who did not do any work and they were wealthier than you to like the tune of 10,000, 1 million percent plus.
01:18:20.000You struggle to buy groceries for your kids.
01:18:21.000And there's a guy who lives in McLean, Virginia, sitting around who makes $13 million a year and literally does not work because he's part of the machine that was built to steal from you.
01:18:53.000So the Pendleton Act was the first attempt to create a professional bureaucracy.
01:18:59.000And it was pushed through by the left, and they were attacking government corruption.
01:19:04.000Government is always corrupt, newsflash.
01:19:05.000No matter who runs it, no matter how you structure it, government is a fact of the universe.
01:19:11.000And so they use government corruption to install this system where the bureaucracy was in theory going to be independent.
01:19:18.000It was going to be independent of the president and in theory of Congress.
01:19:23.000The problem is that once you do that, you are making it independent of the voters, right?
01:19:29.000Because the only influence that voters have over the government is through the president and through Congress.
01:19:34.000So if you've made the bureaucracy independent, you've made it independent from voters, meaning who exactly does it serve?
01:19:41.000And we now know who it serves, which is that it serves itself.
01:19:44.000And it develops relationships with golden parachutes with all kinds of outside organizations, then does favors for them.
01:19:51.000And they either give them money while they're in office or they went until they're out of office.
01:19:55.000You know, the sort of stereotypical SEC commissioner who goes and has lunch with Goldman Sachs and they discuss what his career objectives are in the future.
01:20:03.000Right? And so that was really the bureaucratic coup.
01:20:07.000And that was, I think it was 1871 or 73. And then it built up over time.
01:20:10.000And that thing created this sort of outside organization that was permanently pushing to grow the government.
01:20:17.000So once we had the Pendleton Act, before then, it kind of zigged in it, zagged.
01:20:21.000The government got bigger, it got smaller, it got bigger, smaller.
01:20:38.000He also closed the central bank, by the way, the Fed at the time, the so-called Second Bank of the United States.
01:20:43.000Awesome. So you had these zigs and theseags.
01:20:45.000Once you got Pendleton, at that point, it was a treadmill, only one direction up and up.
01:20:49.000Who got put into the power of the bureaucracy when Pendleton got signed?
01:20:54.000I think the year, during that period, Republicans, which were the left-wing party, they were the party of government, they generally dominated.
01:21:02.000It was post-civil war, and so they had disenfranchised a lot of southern states, which were traditionally democratic, so they kind of had a lock on power.
01:21:11.000And that's why they put it in, because they were sort of institutionalizing that pro-government power that at the time the Republicans...
01:21:17.000We're doing now the handicapping the Democrats turned out to be so successful that the Democrat Party essentially gave up and just became a super Republican party, which is how we got two left-wing parties.
01:21:28.000We're going to jump to this next story from the New York Times to change the subject in a hard segue, as it were, but we'll come back to that in a minute.
01:21:35.000Ben and Jerry's accuses Unilever of firing its CEO for political reasons.
01:21:39.000Ben and Jerry said in the court file in its parent company had ousted its chief executive David Steaver without approval from the ice cream maker's board.
01:21:47.000Well, Ben and Jerry's used to be great.
01:21:50.000I remember when I was a kid and Cherry Garcia was becoming popular.
01:22:07.000Indeed. So the long story short, the CEO was fired and the individuals at Ben and Jerry say that part of the agreement with the sale was that they would be continued to engage in their social mission of the company.
01:22:46.000But I do find this to be absolutely hilarious in that it epitomizes meritocracy versus ideology.
01:22:54.000Ben and Jerry's, I can only assume, is hurting if Unilever would violate their contract and fire the guy.
01:23:03.000knowing they were going to get into a lawsuit.
01:23:05.000I have to imagine if your company prioritizes social issues over a product, i.e., you're an activist nonprofit and not a for-profit ice cream maker, you are going to lose money.
01:23:32.000Now on the corporate side of things, they're saying purge the woke and get it out.
01:23:37.000I mean, you do have a product that you have to sell, and the way that Ben and Jerry's behaves makes it clear that to at least a third of the country, they don't want you to buy their product.
01:23:49.000And I mean, look, ice cream is an everybody thing.
01:24:08.000So this goes back to at the top, we were talking about the terrorism against Tesla and in BLM as well.
01:24:15.000And I think that we are absolutely, this is going to be a trend now where companies are going to get back to basics.
01:24:20.000Traditionally in this country, companies did not get involved in politics because why piss off pretty much does Republicans buy shoes to too, right?
01:24:28.000Like on Israel-Palestine, you are going to offend half your audience, so just stay out of it.
01:24:35.000And that was the traditional wisdom, but I think companies could not do that because of intimidation by the left.
01:24:40.000And a lot of that was regulatory intimidation.
01:24:42.000So in a lot of these businesses, especially in media, you can't piss off your regulator.
01:24:47.000And once the left locked hands with regulators, a lot of these companies had to do what they did.
01:24:53.000So now that you've got the government pressure coming off, the activist pressure coming off, now they can actually look again at the bottom line.
01:25:00.000And, you know, you look at a company like Disney and it's just suicidal what they've done.
01:25:19.000My prediction with the Bud Light story was that we were going to find out it was going to be some millennial woman who had just gotten promoted to the position who changed their policy from Fratbrough to feminist lesbian.
01:25:33.000Indeed, it was a millennial liberal woman who recently got a promotion and said, no more fat white guys buying and drinking beer at the grill.
01:25:53.000And boy, did that really destroy the company because it turns out that even 20-year-old people would much prefer a beer commercial where a guy is flipping a burger as opposed to Dylan Mulvaney.
01:26:28.000I think another element of that has been the sort of shareholder advisory services, which is this way that woke can sort of insert itself into the financial system and force companies to do weird things like, you know, like Disney doing this or like Exxon doing green energy are just bizarre things.
01:26:43.000But fundamentally, I think that finally they're waking up, they're shaking out of this.
01:26:48.000You have to love your customers just the way they are.
01:26:51.000Yeah, I mean, you can't think that you're going to dictate opinions to your customers.
01:26:57.000You have to go to people where they are.
01:26:59.000Yeah, but take a look at Ben and Jerry's.
01:27:38.000But I do feel like they thought they were targeting progressives and they were a social mission company.
01:27:44.000They probably have their core audience, which is those progressives, and they have a whole bunch of people who just eat it because it tastes good and they don't care about the politics and they were losing them.
01:27:51.000I think these companies thought woke was mainstream.
01:28:51.000What I see what is likely to happen now is the young kids, the Gen Ziers, who grew up in an era where you could not know what was socially acceptable or not, and you were constantly threatened.
01:29:03.000You were living like a rabbit wound up so tight you could burst at any moment.
01:29:08.000They are going to find reprieve in people like Donald Trump and people on the right who are just like, bro, I don't care what you call me.
01:29:15.000You can say, you can say gay and you can say retarded.
01:29:17.000And people are going to be like, I can relax now.
01:29:20.000I think young people are going to move that direction.
01:29:21.000Not to mention, I do want to stress this too, because we didn't get in the Harry Sisson story.
01:29:25.000But Harry Sisson, of course, was according to the left, praying upon young women.
01:29:31.000viciously, this liberal young man, this Democrat, was praying like a merciless predator on these poor young men.
01:31:25.000But we'll see, you know, a drowning person is dangerous, right?
01:31:29.000When they say when you're going to go rescue someone, trying to go behind them, otherwise they'll thrash at you and drag you down with them.
01:31:35.000So as the woke gets smothered out of existence, I'm wondering to what degree they may weather underground or worse.
01:32:16.000like during the time that the weather underground was really active, the economy was kind of crap.
01:32:22.000The 70s were, you know, a lost decade, you know, the economy was garbage.
01:32:28.000If you if Trump's economic plans do work the way that he says they will, and we have a resurgence of productivity in this country and we have an economic boom, a lot of the people that are P.O.
01:32:43.000and say capitalism sucks and it's not fair and blah, blah, blah.
01:32:46.000They'll have opportunities that they don't have right now.
01:32:49.000And that will fix a lot of the problems.
01:32:51.000And that goes to what Tim was talking about, Gen X, or Gen Z. Gen Z is an almost perfect thing.
01:32:58.000you know, copy of Gen X, like the entire origin story here, right?
01:33:02.000You had the crappy 70s, you had the crappy, all this stuff that happened the last couple of years, Biden inflation and the COVID and the violence and all this.
01:33:10.000And, you know, if we could see Gen Z be like a super version of X. I think the other key here is that when Reagan won office, the media were savage to him.
01:33:20.000I mean, they were just as bad as they are to Trump now.
01:33:40.000And I think particularly when you parrot, you know, having gone through the valley of darkness and then coming out into the light, I think Gen Z may be, I mean, already like Trump was within five points on Gen Z, something like that.
01:33:52.000Yeah. Which is crazy for young people, right?
01:34:13.000It feels like they had to suffer through hair spray, big hair, ugly-looking makeup, and not understanding why they're not attracted to those girls, but being told they're supposed to be.
01:34:22.000And then all of a sudden, the internet appears, and they're like, whoa, manipulation.
01:34:27.000It's different for them because they had the internet the entire time.
01:34:30.000And they were, but so that manipulation is just, I mean, the grossness, and it stays with you your entire life when you've been tricked by being told like, blackface is okay.
01:34:52.000Everybody was watching Johnny Knoxville punch Bambarger in the balls.
01:34:56.000George Carlin was going up on stage in the early 90s and he has a bit that he famously did in his comedy special in his tours where he would say every possible racial slur he could think of as fast as he could and then called two prominent black comedians, the N-word.
01:35:12.000One of the best comedians of all time.
01:35:13.000Indeed. And South Park and Family Guy.
01:35:16.000And we somehow ended up in this world?
01:35:19.000Well, we're coming out the other side of it, so that's good.
01:37:17.000It would make it illegal for you to pay private people to go carry a mail because traditionally you would just, you know, you would just leave your mail with some merchant who's going town from town to town.
01:37:26.000And instead the government came and said, no, no, you can't do it anymore.
01:37:29.000Now you have to use the government version.
01:37:31.000Okay. Which maybe not as nefarious as it seems.
01:37:41.000I'm always with this balance of order and chaos and, like, you need a little chaos.
01:37:44.000Otherwise, the ordered system can become, like, infected, and then there's no way to prevent the infection because the system's got too much fluidity in it.
01:37:51.000You need corruption to break up the infection.
01:38:34.000Jeez. I'm telling you, it's a year or two, and you're going to see this walking down the street carrying a bag of grocery isn't going to cart.
01:38:56.000I am mostly excited about running full speed and a dark alley with a group of others being chased by these robots after the AI apocalyptic takeover and then being forced to fight them.
01:39:07.000I mean, we've said a lot that you can't hold a street corner with drones, but these dudes with an M16, you can hold a street corner with a robot that's, I mean, it wouldn't you be holding an empty?
01:39:43.000Really? So when you meet the animatronic woman and she looked at you and she's like, hey, Ian, and you're looking in her eyes, it's more like looking at an angler fish.
01:39:53.000You know, it's got that weird little light on its head.
01:41:03.000And man, that chat GPT, like you're saying, you onboard that intelligence.
01:41:06.000Well, they're working on, right now they're working on agentic AI.
01:41:09.000So they're AI that can do specific things.
01:41:11.000You don't need a universal or general artificial intelligence.
01:41:16.000to be like a helper around the house, right?
01:41:19.000You need one that can do a handful of specific things, can navigate your house, can pick up your laundry, can sweep or mop or whatever, can put your dishes away without smashing them, can carry things for you, but you don't need to have general.
01:41:35.000No, no, I- $65,000 for the high-end version.
01:41:50.000group of specific tasks once then a i can do that and you know just just navigate the house then it's like all right do you want to spend thirty five thousand dollars on this which is the cost of a car but never have to do laundry and and chores again for for parents especially if you have kids at home you're spending two hours plus per day on various household crap right so if this thing can Do the food, the cleaning.
01:42:17.000You're like buying a tractor if you're a farmer.
01:42:58.000If you mount a webcam on its face and then you are kind of playing a game through it of like clean up my house and you like go and you grab the laundry and you use your controller in your mouse.
01:43:12.000You need to make a video game that that is the character you're seeing the game, the world, and it's an actual real life cleaning up the room.
01:44:06.000It's a couple years away from being able to be, you know, put out for people to actually use and be functional.
01:44:13.000But once it is, the market is going to explode.
01:44:16.000Because, again, it's one of those things where, like, if you're, you know, I mean, there's, there are multiple millions.
01:44:24.000of families in the U.S. that could afford $20,000, which boils, $20,000 to $30,000, which boils down to $750 a month for, you know, 36 months.
01:44:35.000Yeah. You know, because they'll pay, they'll be, they'll be just like cars.
01:45:16.000But like, say like 80 million people had one of these in their houses and they were controlled by some central authority.
01:45:21.000Bro, you're going to see these driving down the street.
01:45:25.000It's going to pull up to a food lion, a shop and save, an Albertsons, whatever you got by you, and then they're going to walk over, and they're going to put the bag of groceries on top of it, and then it's going to start walking to your house.
01:45:35.000Technically, it doesn't even have to go to the checkout line.
01:46:54.000So depending on the property, if there's like a guy walking and he's got a $50,000 gigantic diamond and someone tries to take it, Then what?
01:52:55.000Interesting. We do a bunch of plans for the community in the Discord.
01:53:00.000So what we do with Booneys HQ, which is our skate company, is every month we do the Booneys Bounties, where we post this month's trick is, for March, it was a board slide.
01:53:10.000Submit your videos of the best board slide.
01:54:04.000I think that would be even more complicated.
01:54:06.000So because of the Discord server and our members at Timcast.com are voting on who's going to get the money, they ultimately decide it's going to come from Timcast.
01:54:15.000But what I can say is we are booking about a month and a half away from the first culture war, live, where you as members will sit down in the chair and engage in the debate.
01:54:28.000So we like, I like how Jubilee does these big public debates, but they're edited, so it's fake.
01:54:33.000Like when Elie Azar Perez was here, he was mentioning that the pauses in Sam Cedar's answers were longer, and he was having trouble with it, and they edited those out to make it seem like he was answering more quickly.
01:54:42.000Well, I'm going to tell you, when you come to the culture war event, I'm going to convince you live face to face that you can control the weather.
01:54:50.000Okay, just make sure it's very nice out.
01:55:06.000by this super cold water and I was like it's working and I was getting hit by cold but focusing warmth in and then it just melted away the hail come because you were calling for rain well I went outside after an intense communication and the lightning and thunder was bringing the stuff and were you calling for rain Once I saw it, I was getting excited for it.
01:57:34.000Because that takes a lot of the responsibility off the driver, like, to the point where you might even be, like, not responsible for any accidents that your car gets into while you're in it because you're not driving it.
01:57:44.000And then all of the responsibility goes on to the company that owns the car and develops the algorithm, which could bankrupt that company really fast.
01:57:52.000Donnie Rockett says France can have their statue back.
01:57:54.000We're building one far greater than you could ever imagine, much more beautiful, much taller, and the most amazing crown you've ever seen, a torch you can see from Canada.
01:58:45.000With these leftist spray painting swastikas on cyber trucks, I was like, if they think these people are Nazis, then wouldn't they just be doing them a favor?
01:58:54.000And Carl Benchon quoted it, pointing out what my point was, that the implication is the leftists know Tesla owners are not Nazis.
01:59:05.000They're doing it to vandalize the car because they know the swastika would offend them.
01:59:08.000But I do think there's a perfect sketch there where a neo-Nazis in his house listening to like Nazi Hitler or whatever, rants or whatever.
01:59:17.000And then he gets a notification on his phone.
