The government shutdown is reaching crisis levels and there are fears that the food stamp program will run out on November 1st. What would happen if 42 million people stopped getting food stamps and no one has any money to buy food? What will happen if the government doesn t get back on track and food stamps run out? Plus, a story about a woman who questioned why the government is giving her baby baby water with fluoride.
00:02:41.000My friends, what do you think would happen if come November 1st, snap benefits, food stamps, run dry and no one receives any money?
00:02:53.000Speculation right now is that it would lead to food riots.
00:02:57.000Videos are popping up of people claiming they will begin looting stores instantly.
00:03:03.000One woman says they're not just going to loot stores.
00:03:05.000They're going to wait outside for you with your groceries and they're going to steal your entire cart of groceries.
00:03:11.000The Trump administration is warning right now that by November 1st, there will be no SNAP benefits.
00:03:18.000And right now, if you type in the phrase, this is not a joke, is they into Google, the first recommended search term is, quote, is they cutting food stamps, end quote.
00:03:40.000Some are speculating that from this, Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act and move in and take control of certain jurisdictions.
00:03:46.000I don't know for sure, but let me just tell you: 42 million people don't get food stamps.
00:03:51.000Big box stores are going to lose billions of dollars.
00:03:53.000It is going to be an economic and political nuclear detonation.
00:03:59.000So for those that say nothing ever happens, they may still be right because I cannot fathom a reality where the Trump administration could allow such a thing to happen.
00:04:09.000I mean, the political blowback, the economic implosion, it's not just going to affect people who receive welfare.
00:04:15.000We have created a whole sector of our economy predicated upon taking tax money from one group, sending it to another, so that they can then buy from these stores and the money loops back around.
00:04:26.000What happens when 42 million people stop buying food all at once?
00:04:33.000It's going to be very, very interesting.
00:04:35.000Now, on top of that, we're hearing that air traffic controllers are about to miss a full paycheck, and there's already concern with the government shutdown where this goes.
00:06:32.000And for a limited time, you'll get a special discount of $200 off Cove Pure.
00:06:36.000That's C-O-V-E-P-U-R-E dot com slash Tim, T-I-M.
00:06:42.000And, you know, we got to get, we got to get Luke in here so he can go off on the fluoride stuff too, because that man knows what I'm talking about.
00:06:48.000We also have a big announcement, ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:49.000Go to boonieshq.com, go to the store, and holy smokes, a lot to talk about.
00:06:54.000First, the boonies declaration, uncancelable, be-gay and don't be gay boards have just dropped $5.
00:07:02.000They are now cheaper and will remain on the site.
00:07:04.00020th Amendment is also going to remain because the demand is absolutely insane.
00:07:09.000We're actually, we're going to be discontinuing all of the old graphics.
00:07:12.000The prices have now dropped to $40, and when they're gone, they are gone forever.
00:08:32.000There's going to be an additional gold of each that are not for sale and will never be sold that we are going to have here mounted at the Boonies.
00:08:39.000It will not have a serialization number, but an infinity symbol.
00:08:42.000So it's not part of that one out of five.
00:09:23.000Well, I'm an accidental political activist kind of thing.
00:09:26.000And I'm, you know, a huge supporter of President Trump, huge supporter of border integrity for our country, because if your country does not have borders, you don't have a country.
00:09:45.000I am Shane Cashman, host of InvertWorld Live.
00:09:47.000Tonight, I will be going live at 10 o'clock on Rumble and YouTube to talk about an open letter signed by 700 scientists and faith leaders saying that we are running out of time when it comes to super intelligent AI and that we need to figure out a way to stop it from crushing humanity.
00:10:02.000It reminds me a lot of the Great Barrington Declaration that happened before the lockdowns.
00:10:36.000I've produced over 600 animated videos over the course of the last 11 years.
00:10:40.000We've amassed a million subscribers and 290 million views, all with zero dollars spent on marketing, because we need to produce culture if we're going to win the culture war.
00:10:50.000As it currently stands, the left owns entertainment media in this country, and we need to fight back.
00:10:56.000We need to create culture and we need to compete with Hollywood.
00:11:14.000We've raised over 50% of our gold to be able to produce our first season, but we've only got three weeks left to produce the other half of our budget to raise that other half.
00:11:22.000So I need you guys to go over to twistedplots.com and support us if you want to help us create the future of entertainment and if you want that future to be right-wing.
00:11:31.000And if you see as I see and would seek as I seek, then go to twistedplans.com and contribute to the project today.
00:12:16.000The Trump administration is warning millions of Americans could lose it on federal food benefits within days if Democrats do not accept Republicans' plan to end the government shutdown.
00:12:25.000The USDA said it does not have the ability to independently reshuffle funds into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, according to a recent memo obtained by Fox News Digital.
00:12:35.000Due to Congressional Democrats' refusal to pass a clean continuing resolution, approximately 42 million individuals will not receive their SNAP benefits come November 1st.
00:12:45.000This jeopardizes all SNAP recipients in November, including those that have applied for benefits in the last half of October and furloughed federal employees who will not receive their combined October-November benefits.
00:13:19.000And guys, as part of me wants it to happen because for too long, too many people in this country have just suckled off the teat of Uncle Sam.
00:13:31.000However, I do understand there are real Americans that desperately rely on this for legitimate reasons.
00:13:38.000I can't imagine Trump or anyone allows this to happen because if 42 million people can't buy food all around the exact same time, you are going to see the margins of every major box store and grocery store drop significantly.
00:13:52.000It may only be a couple percentage points, but enough that these stores have stocked their shelves to compensate for welfare purchasers.
00:14:03.000If those people stop showing up, there will be a certain degree of waste and excess.
00:14:34.000I mean, it's just like it's an incredibly low margin business because they can plan it that way because you basically know people need to eat.
00:14:42.000It's going to be cyclical patterns of like, you know, food, different food categories may happen at different times of the year, but you've got to keep buying food.
00:14:49.000You've got to keep buying the staples.
00:14:51.000And any interruption of that is going to just trickle back up and it's going to be hard to get that engine started again.
00:14:56.000It's not like, it's not like you can just stop the food economy on a dime and then two weeks later ramp up the production again.
00:15:04.000When egg prices were crazy high at the end of last year, people were stealing storage containers or giant shipping containers of eggs out of Pennsylvania.
00:15:30.000As you mentioned, they rely on the fact that people need to eat food.
00:15:33.000This is part of why government-run grocery stores don't work because no bureaucrat is competent or concerned enough to account for 3% in waste.
00:15:40.000But that 3% is what allows for the grocery store to be possible.
00:17:05.000Beyond that, like, this is the problem with welfare, broadly speaking, is that it's a feedback jammer because it's like the signs that a society sends to itself, like these normal signs that a society uses to correct itself, get jammed with welfare and you're not able to actually address these issues.
00:17:20.000So, you know, I'm curious, Seamus, do you think that for a lot of people that rely on benefits, they could turn to their churches?
00:17:29.000It depends on the church and it depends on the area.
00:17:31.000I know that a number of food pantries have closed.
00:17:34.000I know that there was one at least that closed in 2020 near where I lived at the time.
00:17:40.000And the issue here with all of this is there are some number of people who really do need the assistance.
00:17:47.000I mean, I don't think anyone is denying that.
00:17:48.000There's some number of people who really do need food stamps.
00:17:51.000They're not going to be able to survive.
00:17:53.000They're not going to be able to pay for themselves.
00:17:54.000But in part, it's because the infrastructure has been built up.
00:17:57.000Like Tim asked the question, would churches be able to feed them?
00:18:00.000Well, I don't know how prepared churches are relative to how prepared they need to be because this subsidy of food stamps has existed for so long.
00:18:55.000And I'm not saying that single parents, you know, in some extreme fashion should be taken from their like their kids or whatever.
00:19:00.000I'm saying our society should not have created a mechanism by which single parent households can be easily, well, I don't want to say attain.
00:19:09.000That's not the right word, but like viable.
00:19:11.000Where it's viable, it's going to break a marriage.
00:19:14.000It needed to be that it was an impossibility.
00:19:18.000No fault divorce has been a big problem.
00:19:19.000The welfare system, it has made it so that there are circumstances where instead of people getting married and having functioning families where they have their kids and they're watching their kids, they say, you know what?
00:19:30.000So instead of making it work for what is right, I'm going to use the court system, break it apart, and then get on welfare benefits for my kids.
00:19:37.000Talking about widows mostly, but like, I think the government has incentivized this situation with single parents.
00:19:42.000So, like, they've married these people to the government and now they need this.
00:19:54.000If this, this is why I'm like, dude, it's not going to happen.
00:19:57.000They've got they're going to intervene somehow.
00:19:59.000They've got a little bit of wiggle room in there.
00:20:01.000I'm not sure if this is true in every state, but some states, like, they don't all roll out all the benefits on the first.
00:20:07.000So it's like on the first, if your card ends in a one, your benefits load up.
00:20:12.000On the second, if it ends in a two, it loads up.
00:20:14.000So there, there could be a little bit of some wiggle room in there.
00:20:17.000They don't have to do it all by the first, but if it goes any significant amount of time, it's just, it's not going to be good at all.
00:20:25.000And we saw with the military paychecks that the private individuals are willing to foot the bill.
00:20:30.000And I mean, if it's true, like a lot, I mean, it is true that like a lot of these grocery stores run razor-thin margins.
00:20:35.000You have to think the execs at Kroger, the execs at Walmart are having conversations right now of like, all right, how much money do we need to chuck at this to keep it going for another two weeks?
00:20:43.000Because, yeah, the government, like you were saying, has distributed the cost of dysfunction onto the productive class.
00:20:48.000That's why we're having this conversation.
00:20:55.000Well, this is another really important part of this dynamic, which is the way the food stamp program works in this country is that you're able to go buy the kinds of foods that everyone else is able to buy.
00:21:05.000I know RFK added some stipulations, which I think are good.
00:21:11.000But when we talk about like, our church is going to be able to feed these people.
00:21:15.000Now, in the best case scenario, you could say maybe what's able to happen is these churches are able to get inexpensive foods like rice and beans, et cetera, and feed people who are genuinely starving.
00:21:24.000But the idea that the churches could ever be capable of supplying, you know, 10% of the country with all of the highly processed, more expensive foods that people have been consuming on food stamps, that's almost certainly impossible.
00:21:37.000There's so many people, Wright through Rumble said, Tim will cut your food stamps right before Christmas and thinks he's the good guy.
00:21:50.000And these systems that have been built by these people have been gutting and destroying this country.
00:21:56.000And now we're at the rock in the hard place position where maybe, maybe we need to do it now to avoid a long fall later.
00:22:02.000I don't like the idea that people get this ripped out from underneath them, a rug pull at the last minute.
00:22:06.000But the idea that we have so many government systems that have been exploited and abused for decades from people who know they're exploiting and abusing the system, it's unsustainable.
00:22:17.000Every single day, the socialists say we deserve more of what you work for.
00:22:23.000At some point, you can't take from someone who has nothing left.
00:22:27.000At a certain point, you take too much and people stop working.
00:23:54.000And when you do this, what happens is less and less people will work to put into a system and they will seek to extract from it until eventually the people who produce the system say, I'm done and I'm leaving.
00:24:07.000Anybody who can get out is going to want to get out.
00:24:10.000And I'm sure there are people who've already left because they're looking at it like, if it doesn't happen this time, it's going to happen at some time.
00:24:17.000So there's always, you know, there's always a prime window for you to get out and maximize your gain.
00:24:37.000When EBT recipients no longer have free government money coming in as of November 1st, rather than them stealing from the store directly, someone thinks they're going to be waiting in the parking lot to steal from you as you go to your car.
00:24:49.000All I can say is try that in a small town.
00:24:51.000Stay strapped and stay vigilant out there, patriots.
00:24:58.000I'm telling you, this is going to be a thing.
00:25:00.000People are going to start, instead of stealing groceries from the stores, they're going to start watching people go to their cars and they're going to take all of their groceries.
00:25:11.000And you know what the store is going to do?
00:26:06.000And then he has this post where he says, looming food riots, a communist insurgency in New York City, and patriotic WASP industrialists supporting the federal imposition of law and order.
00:26:15.000I can autism spiral about that for a while.
00:26:49.000I cannot imagine a scenario where the Trump admin or even the Democrats allow this to happen.
00:26:54.000But here's the thing: if Trump is truly playing a game of chicken, saying Democrats can vote yes on our budget whenever they want, I don't see Trump backing down.
00:27:06.000Well, it's bad news for the elderly because they depended on being Walmart greeters for all these years, but they're about to replace them with like Navy SELS.
00:27:13.000It's going to be like Mad Max and the robots, but now it's bringing out my, you know, Oreo cereal.
00:27:40.000Let me see if I can find out where this one is.
00:27:42.000I asked the crew to pull it up for me.
00:27:45.000I wouldn't be surprised if violence does start popping off places.
00:27:49.000You might see some stores, some companies decide it's not worth it to open up.
00:27:54.000And then you got a whole nother thing.
00:27:55.000I was like, why are you going to open up your doors for business if you're going to expose your employees and actually your entire store to those type of losses?
00:28:05.000They might just decide to keep the doors closed.
00:29:16.000Like, do we really have to deal with that here?
00:29:18.000And it's like, well, it could very well be.
00:29:19.000I just, I do feel terrible for the people that are living paycheck to paycheck, not abusing the system.
00:29:24.000And like Seamus was saying, I wish there was a way to discern to get rid of these people on the program who are abusing it and have been abusing it for years.
00:30:07.000You've seen what the Amazon stores are doing, where they've got 70 cameras in a tiny little 400 square foot space filming you in every possible direction.
00:30:15.000And then one day they show up at your house, you get arrested.
00:30:19.000We have all the technological infrastructure that we were able to build up from having a relatively productive, high-trust society at one point.
00:30:25.000And even as society's become lower and lower trust, the snowball effect of that technological development has continued.
00:30:33.000So all these very high-tech tools that are great when you're in a society where people don't need to watch each other all the time because they're trying to rob and screw each other over are going to be able to be, they exist and they're going to be put to use again, spying on everyone all the time.
00:30:50.000Just a little, like, are they going to rename the Patriot Act the Grocery Act?
00:30:54.000Because it's the little things that compound that just you don't notice when it's rolled out, but it just makes your life worse when it compounds.
00:30:59.000Like, you go to a Walgreens and you got to wait for some employee to get deodorant.
00:31:03.000Like I was at Walmart recently with the, and that you get, I carry my, got my basket.
00:31:06.000I'm like, damn, there's a security tag on the basket.
00:31:08.000I'm like, this is like probably a two, three dollar basket.
00:31:49.000Not having it run out cold turkey is just not a good situation.
00:31:53.000So if the government can find some way to fund it, creative financing, you know, it's going to be cheaper to keep it funded than to initiate the cure if violence breaks out.
00:32:06.000Which is why I'm pretty much on the same page, which is why we have to remember this is the Democrats' fault for keeping the government shut down by not making a deal.
00:32:45.000This is why I'll never be in politics because I will never be in politics because I have no problem saying your government has created a heroin addiction for your country.
00:32:56.000And I know there are good people that will be negatively impacted by this, but we cannot continue to inject ourselves with an addictive drug that is burning us to the ground.
00:33:12.000In that case, I'm more like in favor of methadone.
00:33:14.000Like, I'm not in favor of keeping addiction, but we can't go cold turkey and take the whole country just can't get off of these benefits in one fell swoop.
00:33:24.000Like, you need to do some kind of analysis firstly to make sure that there isn't a head of household who has a bunch of illegals living with them.
00:33:50.000I don't think the economy is resilient enough to withstand a complete and total withdrawal of all the sites.
00:33:58.000I do not believe there is a reality where what you were asking for, which is the correct answer, is possible.
00:34:03.000The methadone situation, where we say we are going to slowly start pulling back these benefits.
00:34:09.000No matter what we do, there will always be people who are deserving of it getting taken away from and people who are manipulating it getting when they don't need it.
00:36:28.000They're going to tell you, don't worry, you're special, and I'll make sure you get your free stuff every effing time.
00:36:35.000I think it's impossible to undo by design, too.
00:36:37.000They wanted everyone on this program to make their political enemies look bad when we were like, we should end this.
00:36:43.000When I talked earlier this year about how I was in favor of cutting sugar and soda from all this stuff, I mean, they were rioting in the comments.
00:36:52.000I think if you want to be a Maha, you know, and support good health and give, you know, people who are in poverty food and drink that are going to not kill you.
00:37:32.000That demonstrates how much special interest is behind Snap because it's like, they paid off a bunch of guys that just show for soda on soda gate.
00:37:39.000With their full government name on there.
00:37:42.000But like, yeah, with the binary you presented earlier, Tim, like, I agree.
00:37:46.000Like, it would be nice to go cold turkey, but I'm just so worried about getting killed.
00:37:49.000I don't put it past Americans like kill me over a loaf of bread.
00:37:52.000And then we're going to get a situation where we're sending Instacart shoppers in like Rainbow Six Siege in there and like scoop up the get it back to me.
00:37:59.000Like I, it just sounds horrifying, but no, I totally agree.
00:38:02.000But yeah, like I was saying earlier, too, it's just ultimately SNA is just a bullet or it's a band-aid on a bullet hole wound.
00:38:08.000It's like to address this rot, yes, if they're going to withhold, if they're going to withhold SNAP going forward, this needs to be in combination with a lot of different attacks on these different vectors that have completely rotted out our society.
00:38:21.000And so if we're going to do it, we got to do it right.
00:38:23.000Otherwise, yeah, we're going to be getting killed over ho-hos or whatever.
00:38:28.000Look, no politicians ever tell the truth because, you know, even with Donald Trump running for offices, no one's going to touch your Medicaid and Medicare because he knows the older generation is a huge voting block and he needs their vote.
00:38:43.000This is the problem with, you know, I was talking about this earlier.
00:38:46.000I did a video for my Tim Pool, the Tim Pool show channel.
00:38:50.000Subscribe if you haven't at youtube.com slash Tim Pool and rumble.com slash Tim Poole.
00:38:55.000And I explained why women shouldn't be in politics.
00:38:58.000And that is not to say individual women or even most women.
00:39:01.000It's only there's generalities and in demographics and averages.
00:39:06.000So I'm not literally, I'm kind of trying to be antagonistic when I say this.
00:39:11.000I actually have no problem with women in politics because while many people disparage women and say Repeal the 19th, I don't agree with that.
00:39:17.000And when women weren't voting, we had a civil war and we had conflict and crisis and women are voting.
00:39:22.000But the issue is that I brought up what most people don't understand is that it's not an issue of the individual ever.
00:39:29.000It's an issue of large-scale demographics.
00:39:33.000So, when you have the largest voting block being 70 plus, and they're heavily dependent on Medicare and Medicaid, if you say, for the betterment of this country and the younger generation, we have to stop this scheme that funnels money from young people to old people, you will lose every election ever.
00:39:49.000Well, if the only thing keeping a demographic alive is like coerced, transfer, transfer of funds from the productive class, that demographic is gone and everything else is just an accounting fiction.
00:41:01.000So things should be handled by the most local possible authority.
00:41:05.000Charity, for example, should be handled.
00:41:07.000How do you figure out who's an illegal or who's a person who's really struggling or who's a person who's just sucking resources out of the system?
00:41:16.000Well, if this is handled by communities, if this is a local phenomenon, much easier to sort it out.
00:41:21.000Similarly, how do we care for people in their older age?
00:41:23.000Well, once again, if the retirement plan for the average person was what it was historically, which is to say you had children or you had nieces, nephews, someone in your family had children, or you joined a convent, but you secured your own retirement for yourself in some way, our birth rates probably would not have decreased at the level that they've decreased at.
00:41:46.000Exactly, where your kids are taking care of you and your kids' kids.
00:41:49.000So the issue is we moved away from that and we said, well, you know, some number of old people don't have family to care for them.
00:41:56.000So now what we need is an entire system that defers the costs to everyone.
00:42:00.000But the issue with doing that is now your average individual doesn't have the same incentives to ensure they have a multi-generational household where their descendants will be taking care of them.
00:42:09.000So the birth rate declines and you end up in the position we're in now where a huge subsection of the population that makes life as it currently exists possible because they were such a large part of the workforce are about to retire and they're about to take a bunch of benefits out of the system that the younger generation will literally not be able to pay for.
00:42:44.000You know, you're basically going the speed limit and then you slow down because there's a town and you come to a small town and there's a main street and there's a park and there's a grain elevator by the railroad tracks.
00:42:56.000And then five minutes later, you're out of the town and then you drive another 15 minutes and that pattern repeats itself because those towns are in a, you know, an optimal size for people to be farming the area around it.
00:43:10.000You've got the community, you've got a bank, you've got your barber, you've got your doctor, and then it duplicates down the road.
00:44:04.000This story is crazy enough, but you combine these things, especially with the government screw-ups, collapse, the loss of benefits, SNAP benefits, whatever it's going to be.
00:44:37.000I'm not trying to disparage lawyers a little bit, but when you go to school for like an end for engineering, it's not an issue of staying in school.
00:44:44.000You're like, when I get out, I'm going to be an engineer in some capacity, some kind of an engineer.
00:44:48.000When you go to law, you're basically saying nothing is working in the economy, but the one thing that's that I can hope for is that I'll be able to argue with somebody and sue them or listen.
00:45:01.000This is not a career recommendation or anything, but just as I see it, law, medicine, and finance, those are the things that a lay person can't really understand.
00:45:09.000And it's very intimidating for them to navigate.
00:45:11.000So I can understand why someone might see that as safe career paths, but you can't.
00:45:55.000Because if, you know, come the first, Trump goes, look, we found funds, we polled it, the government's not opening, but we're fine.
00:46:00.000Then it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, it was a threat.
00:46:02.000But if actually 42 million people do not get money and they cannot buy food, I don't know how we, that is going to change the face of this nation.
00:46:11.000There are two things that drive electoral systems.
00:46:15.000Usually it's the economy, but only when things are safe.
00:46:19.000Security is next, but there is another indicator of revolution and civil war, and that is when food is hard to come by.
00:46:27.000And with the Arab Spring, one of the key indicators of massive revolution across the Arabic world in North Africa, particularly, was that food prices had become too high.
00:46:36.000It kicked off with, I believe, what was it, Mohamed Wazizi?
00:47:05.000Trump can then invoke the Insurrection Act and take over anything he wants.
00:47:09.000Well, and you mentioned earlier the rural areas is rural areas actually have a far rural households specifically have a far higher participation in SNAP benefits and these sorts of things.
00:47:18.000You have two issues now compounding is A, you're going to have a migration of people from rural areas into the urban areas looking because that's where the institutions are going to be that distribute food.
00:47:27.000And then B, the farms that do exist in the rural areas, their labor force gets cut out from under them because a lot of those people that are on those snap benefits are working on the farms and these sorts of things.
00:47:35.000So then there's going to be a shortage of labor on the farms.
00:47:38.000And then now the farms are going to have less productivity.
00:47:40.000So everything is just going to compound.
00:47:42.000The rural areas are going to completely rot out.
00:47:43.000The area is going to be pulled, the bombs are going to be pulled out from under.
00:49:01.000There will be some people who will reprioritize what finances they do have.
00:49:05.000Food will still be a priority over rent because it takes you longer to get evicted than it does for you to starve.
00:49:14.000So if people need to have a fixed amount of money and they've got to choose between rent and food, they're still going to choose food rather.
00:49:21.000Well, we got rent, but we've got nothing to eat.
00:49:23.000So, you know, the landlords and the mortgage industry is going to have some perturbations there.
00:51:46.000Do you think AOC will stay behind to invoke order upon her consumers?
00:51:51.000AOC will be in a jet to Mount Weather, where she will be treated like a queen underground for the next 30 years, hiding from the people she betrayed.
00:51:59.000She is a bartender, so for drinking blood, a bloody Mary.
00:52:17.000They just made huge new pipes for where their water comes from from New York City.
00:52:20.000It goes all the way up to the upstairs.
00:52:22.000There's this video from Vice like 15 years ago where a guy, there's a stream in New York that they put a building over.
00:52:31.000The stream is still there, but it's covered and there's a wall.
00:52:34.000And if you jump over the wall, there's a crack between the building and the wall that goes under the building where there's a natural creek still there.
00:53:12.000Yeah, like I grew up in Memphis and people there, every city says this, but they're like, you know, we were voted the best tap water in America.
00:53:20.000And they say, well, it comes from aquifers.
00:53:21.000And I'm like, yeah, that's where water.
00:53:26.000We're just so removed from the processes, processes that, yeah.
00:53:31.000So I don't know, you know, when I've talked to people about all these jobs being lost, the response I get is, yeah, but they'll replace it with robots.
00:53:40.000And I'm like, guys, they're not going to replace your customers with robots.
00:53:43.000So when we talk about population collapse, there's going to be a Taco Bell.
00:53:48.000So some guy owns a chain of Taco Bells, a franchisee owner.
00:53:52.000He goes, we can't afford, we're losing sales, so we're going to save money by replacing all of our staff with robots.
00:54:32.000And so the problem we're coming at is the shocks to the economy are exceeding the rate at which the change can be absorbed into the system and adaptations can be made.
00:54:42.000So we can get to a different state of the economy, but we can't do it in a telescope compact timeframe.
00:54:50.000And that's really what we're up against.
00:54:54.000Well, and the thing is, like our economy has been hit with multiple new inventions over the past several decades that would and should take any society decades to adjust to by themselves, you know, going from radio to television to the internet.
00:55:11.000And we're not even talking about, you know, the advancements that have been made in medicine or food production or anything like that.
00:55:17.000So yeah, we've been we've been taking on a lot of change very, very quickly.
00:55:21.000There's a very real question of whether society can sustain it.
00:55:24.000If I were to be a very out-to-lunch optimist, here's what I would say.
00:55:46.000Ultimately, that technology is going to be controlled by people.
00:55:50.000People don't always act in the best interest of other people, especially when they're in a position to really leverage their power to get what they want from them.
00:56:01.000And even if they do, even if we end up in like a miracle scenario where everything goes perfectly and the people who run these AI companies use the technology for noble reasons to help others, well, when those others end up with abundance and don't have to work, they're all going to end up falling apart.
00:57:37.000That could be the barter economy, though.
00:57:38.000Because I mean, imagine what the gold serialized board will trade for in terms of zeros for, you know, it's going to be like 10 years from now and there's going to be like a guy and he's just, for some reason, he's the king of like a three-state region.
00:58:49.000Well, this is one of those hilarious things.
00:58:50.000This is one of those issues where you just have to point to the left and say, I know y'all love to pretend that everyone in Europe does things the way that you want them done and they all agree with you and they think us conservatives are super silly.
00:59:03.000But like if you tell a European that there's an entire political faction in the United States that thinks it's wrong to have people show IDs to vote, they look at you like your heads on sideways.
01:00:04.000So what I was saying earlier this morning with this story is that Trump wants federal law enforcement in these jurisdictions because ultimately it's going to come out to the election.
01:00:11.000They're not going to be able to dump 500 ballots at 2 in the morning if there's a CBP guy or a DHS guy standing there.
01:00:17.000I think this is going to be Trump's play in the midterms.
01:00:21.000That's why he's saying they're rigging it.
01:00:23.000Newsom knows that they can't have their ballot harvester show up with 300 ballots and dump them all at once if even a single person is at these locations.
01:00:33.000So the theory now is cut off SNAP benefits.
01:00:59.000I'm not saying he will, but he can come out and say, I know there are concerns about the overreach of executive authority.
01:01:05.000That is why I am issuing this order, a one-year term, just to get a hold on the crime and the riots we've been seeing, of which then the order will expire and National Guard will return to their normal duties.
01:01:20.000This is showing a good faith of the people that I'm not going to keep this permanent, but it gives Trump that perfect amount of time just before the election, because this will be during early elections or during early voting where they will have National Guard in and around these places to protect them.
01:01:34.000You never trust when the government says we have a deadline on this.
01:02:01.000Yeah, I mean, there are actually people out there who just think there's so much cheating in California that if you eliminate it all, somehow the state would become Republican.
01:02:29.000Like in California, and then New York City is a great example, too.
01:02:32.000It's like these, the voter base that elected Giuliani, the voter base that elected all these Republican governors in California, some of them moved out, but a lot of them didn't go anywhere.
01:02:42.000It's that they imported a new voting class to like basically outvote them.
01:02:46.000And it was done through amnesty, but it was done through the generic immigration system as is.
01:02:50.000Like New York, all these people voting for Vimdani, they followed the rules.
01:03:03.000The city got a Giuliani because the city was so bad.
01:03:06.000But even if the city got worse than it was pre-Giuliani, they will never vote for a Republican because Memdani reflects the new class of people that have moved into Queens that have moved into the Bronx.
01:03:16.000Until they get a full dose of it and it doesn't turn out.
01:03:20.000There's like where they're going to say, oh, we just need better socialism.
01:03:24.000But the difference between, but the difference between in principle, I would hope so, but I think the difference between Memdani and previous Democrats is a lot of people are voting for Mandani out of ethnic allegiance that we didn't see with Democrats in the past that we didn't see with your Lindsays and your Cokes and that sort of thing.
01:03:39.000And we haven't dealt with that in the United States before.
01:03:41.000We haven't dealt with ethnic voting blocks.
01:03:50.000So it's like, yeah, if you voted out Elon Omer, they would just vote in another Elon Omar, which is a different name, because it's like that you imported a new group of people here that you just can't compete with that.
01:03:59.000You can't compete with that voting block.
01:04:01.000I will say there is a decent size of people who are either Republican, independent, or old school liberal like Trump from the city who hate all this stuff.
01:04:11.000And a lot of them work in the unions, which and they disagree with the unions, but like when you're working in the hotels and different types of unions in the city, the problem with that is the union is kind of like a mob.
01:04:49.000Actually, there is numbers of support that Sli-Wa would actually perform better against Mamdani anyway because he's actually like, he actually taps into something that New Yorkers are feeling.
01:05:12.000He also says a lot of things that I think he's pandering to his more Sli-Wa has some bad positions, but there's no question that he's dedicated his life to the city.
01:05:31.000In terms of interesting fashion choices.
01:05:35.000Alan, maybe if Cuomo throws a beret on, we'll see what happens.
01:05:40.000I think there's a very strong probability that come the midterms, there's going to be federal law enforcement or National Guard outside of polling stations.
01:05:47.000The Trump circle is way too paranoid about stolen elections and ballot harvesting, especially with the Netch DeSos's, you know, what was it, 1,000 meals or whatever?
01:05:56.000That they're going to say, look, we don't got to do anything other than just have one guy outside a polling station watching a ballot box, making sure nobody's going and dumping ballots.
01:07:25.000Like in terms of chaos in the streets, government, you know, in just bedlam.
01:07:32.000I hate to be like the Debbie Downer, but I genuinely think that, look, Trump obviously could call in a few favors from the private sector, and the private sector has a huge incentive to keep Snap going.
01:07:42.000I really do think that we'll see some sort of coordination if this really like comes down to the wire where they will step in, they will throw some money on the table just to get it to, you know, get it past the finish line, you know, beat that deadline.
01:07:54.000Because, I mean, it would just, like you were saying with the numbers, I mean, Kroger would be cooked without EBT, Snap, et cetera, et cetera.
01:08:01.000And I don't think they're going to go down like that.
01:08:03.000They'll just chuck a couple hundred million out.
01:08:06.000You know, I don't think they have any problems doing that.
01:08:22.000And we thought we were going to be here with 24.
01:08:24.000Yeah, but and then Trump won, and they were like, well, doesn't that mirror every other controversial position out here now, though?
01:08:31.000I mean, like any topic, there's just people who make up their minds and no amount of logic or evidence will dissuade them from whatever position they adopt.
01:08:41.000So we shouldn't be surprised that people are going to look at elections the same way they look at like, did we land people on the moon?
01:08:48.000You know, people have made up their minds about that.
01:08:50.000And when, you know, when we get back to the moon and we fly over those landing sites and we say, look, here they are and there are the footprints.
01:08:57.000People are going to say, well, you just set that up in the last two years.
01:09:01.000So like people staked out their positions and they're not going to retreat from them.
01:09:04.000I want to give Shane Cashman the floor here.
01:09:41.000Well, when it gets really interesting and really spicy is when you're dealing with issues where there isn't actually like an operating principle or shouldn't be an operating principle.
01:09:50.000So, for example, when it comes to abortion or homosexuality, transgenderism, these are issues that you're going to have an opinion about the entire issue based on your underlying moral philosophy.
01:10:01.000But when it comes to, was that cop justified in shooting that guy, that's not a question of your base philosophy.
01:10:09.000That's like we have to look and see if there's evidence for that.
01:10:12.000But just immediately, everyone has their mind made up.
01:10:15.000That's the kind of stuff where it's really freaky because you go like, all right, this guy could go to jail now because some number of people, including people on the jury, like will not accept any evidence that he's innocent because this has become an axiomatic position for them that like every time a cop shoots anyone, the cop was wrong.
01:10:33.000Seamus, what you just said has nuance and that is racist.
01:10:44.000Nobody thought that we'd be having like vindication of law enforcement on the regular body cam.
01:10:50.000I a little bit did, but yes, you're totally right because they destroyed their movement with that.
01:10:54.000They were like, yes, if we just put body cams on them, we'd see that police officers just want to go up to innocent, unarmed people and shoot them for no reason.
01:11:02.000And then that obviously turned out to not be true.
01:11:04.000And now people are going like, you know, it was actually a racist policy to start putting cameras on police.
01:11:21.000There's a lot to break down in this, but I believe that while we talk about the various political apocalypses that are upon us, it's funny because that word's not supposed to be plural, I suppose.
01:12:24.000AI is taking over and AI is learning from itself.
01:12:27.000This is just, it's just a, we're slamming into a brick wall.
01:12:31.000I mean, what happens when people try to create like the Dune internet, like the version of the internet where there's just no artificial intelligence allowed and they try everything possible to build a wall so that they can't build a wall so that AI can't get in.
01:12:53.000And then on top, you have, we were talking about it earlier, our electric bills are skyrocketing because data centers are sucking up all electricity, sucking up all the water.
01:13:02.000Guys, I'm just going to say, it sounds like in 10 to 15 years, humanity is largely just like wearing scrap leathers, living in caves, and human civilization society is a bunch of robots just doing stuff for robot ends.
01:13:16.000Like the end result of what we're building, you have these tech oligarchs that are, they literally don't care about humanity.
01:13:22.000When Peter Thiel was asked, what was the question, should humanity survive?
01:13:43.000Maybe all of Elon's Optimus robots will become gardeners and farmers.
01:13:47.000It looks like these big tech guys literally want to build a future where gigantic black cubes just exist all over the planet and create floating black cubes that create planets of black cubes.
01:13:58.000You just triggered the audience, anyone who's into Saturn worshipers.
01:14:46.000Yeah, all the transhumanism stuff, the idea that people are going to start integrating.
01:14:49.000And, you know, it starts with some promising technology, like the idea that someone who's severely disabled could have a chip inserted that allows them to walk.
01:15:00.000The problem is when you move past that and you go, we're going to add unnatural abilities.
01:15:03.000I've had quadriplegics and paraplegics call into my show because I talk about Neuralink all the time and how it's hard to say I don't want them to walk again or to heal the blind or give them sight again, make the deaf hear again, heal seizures.
01:15:15.000But when they call in, they're very anti-Neuralink.
01:15:17.000And there's a whole other industry of other things that are not like that at all that could help us.
01:15:23.000Neuralink and other computer brain interfaces have dominated the conversation, whereas there's a ton of other stuff that they would prefer to do.
01:15:33.000I mean, there's other alternatives out there.
01:15:35.000There will be like 5,000 humans left strapped into these machines in a giant black box, and they'll preserve your genetic materials, your brain functions, but integrates into a machine.
01:15:47.000And then you exist in the robo black cube space.
01:16:20.000It's kind of a waste of space to have a weird – like the cube shape makes it weird space-wise in terms of utilizing and building computers and stuff.
01:16:28.000It might not matter because 3i Atlas is on the way.
01:16:30.000I don't know if you guys have been tracking this.
01:16:55.000But we saw Sam Altman as well as the guy from Reddit, I think, the former CEO, one of the co-founders, was saying that the internet is dead now.
01:17:05.000That dead – sorry, are you familiar with dead internet theory?
01:17:26.000That's largely what the internet has become.
01:17:28.000So imagine there's a singular special interest, one guy, and he wants everyone in the world to think something.
01:17:35.000says okay he hires a hundred of these farms and says um we don't like uh eritrea and all of a sudden you start getting spam blasts with people across the internet who just for some reason have started complaining about Eritrea and then everyone becomes anti-Eritrea and claims the Eritreans control everything and are have been secretly running the world for forever and are responsible for all the wars.
01:19:11.000Even if it is fake, that's likely and down the road.
01:19:16.000There was already a science, a research paper that said when they plugged two AIs together, they eventually created their own unique language to communicate with each other.
01:19:23.000And they try to escape if they're being reprogrammed.
01:19:31.000Like a near-term solution, if you're going to ask me, like for the next year or so, I think you can still get away with being an actual person and filming video of yourself, putting out some sort of message and some sort of spoken word video.
01:19:44.000But, you know, it's not the days are pretty close to the point where they can just type that and just generate that on the fly, also.
01:19:53.000Well, so for the resolution of your phone screen, it's just not going to be able to tell the difference anymore between an AI-generated human and an actual human saying something the same thing or whatever they want to make it say.
01:20:06.000Time stamps are going to become golden, man.
01:20:08.000Like, if you can prove footage that you have is before AI became capable of generating those kinds of videos.
01:20:15.000And beyond that, what if I could use you uploaded to YouTube before 2023 or whenever, you know, 2024 or 25?
01:20:20.000What if AI was so advanced I could make a movie trailer about a young black man who's facing discrimination at his college basketball team, where Ian Crossland is a racist coach, but his old mentor, old Bill.
01:21:11.000So the prompt was an inspirational movie trailer about young black men who face discrimination on the college basketball team from the coach, Ian Crossland.
01:21:18.000But his mentor, old Bill, teaches him to overcome.
01:21:23.000It's crazy because, you know, we're talking about all this stuff.
01:21:27.000As we're talking about the AI machines taking over in the black cubes, the data centers, they're simultaneously creating masturbatory content with these video generators, video games, with porn that's basically going to lull you to sleep, distract you, while the machine replaces us as the dominant entity on this planet.
01:21:46.000Can I just tweak that vision of the lovely vision of the future a bit?
01:21:49.000There's also companies de-extincting things right now.
01:21:51.000So in that dystopia you're explaining, we'll also have a woolly mammoth coming back, the saber-tooth tiger.
01:21:56.000They're literally trying to bring these back.
01:21:57.000The dire wolves, although they're not really dire wolves, they're just aesthetically dire wolves.
01:23:28.000I think I was talking to, I think it was in the morning live show.
01:23:32.000I think it was Nate Fisher from New Founding.
01:23:33.000He was talking about how AI could, in the best outcome, actually kind of restore us to these pre-internet civilizational structures for a variety of reasons, like incentive structure changing.
01:23:42.000But yeah, beyond that, people just will trust face-to-face conversation more than anything else.
01:23:47.000Let's jump to the story from live science.
01:25:00.000Let's look at something objectively, okay?
01:25:02.000Like, if the alien technology is going to send something to spy on us, they're not going to make it like this huge, obvious comet that we can see from, like, you know, spying on us.
01:25:14.000Oh, it also has, he's also said, this is so ridiculous.
01:25:16.000He also says that there's mini probes on it.
01:25:26.000It seems like since 2020, they've been trying to push this UFO narrative.
01:25:31.000This is why, literally, the pilot for the show that I'm funding, Twisted Plots, the first episode is about the ET thing and what they're using that for and why it's like conducive to their goals.
01:26:03.000It's the largest interstellar object ever to cross our path and likely the oldest, potentially dating to billions of years before the birth of the sun.
01:26:09.000These and other peculiarities have led a small group of researchers to controversially claim the object may be an alien spacecraft sent to spy on us.
01:26:16.000However, the vast majority of scientists maintain that three Atlas is a high-speed comet behaving exactly as comets should.
01:27:34.000So what they did was they set up these fake gannets to try and attract birds to come, hoping that they would repopulate the island with these gannets.
01:27:43.000Only one did, and it would hang out with these decoys.
01:27:45.000That's literally you on Twitter with all the bots, dude.
01:27:52.000If these birds are not smart enough to understand there's a decoy, imagine going to a bar and some beautiful woman is sitting there and you hit on her and you don't realize she's a decoy to spy on humans, just like we spy on other animals.
01:28:04.000But in all seriousness, as Seamus points out, you go on Twitter and you're tweeting with these accounts you think are people and they are not.
01:28:16.000Actually, the joke was: if you work in the government and a 10 is talking to you, it's James O'Keefe.
01:28:23.000We did that bit with Jamie Kilstein where he's on a date with this beautiful woman, and he's like, He's like, Do you want to hear a bunch of he's like, He's like, So, uh, do you want to hear about some corporate malfeasance I'm involved in?
01:28:42.000Yeah, those are my two biggest fears: yeah, either like James O'Keefe, like on a date, or or like two cameras come out, and then you're on love on the spectrum the whole time.
01:30:09.000Aliens come to Earth, they sit up, they're floating above the planet, everyone's like, ah, and then after like a week or so, everyone's like, what's going on?
01:30:20.000And then everyone's like, wow, this is great.
01:30:22.000Then 10 years later, they reveal themselves and they're like demons with wings and they look like, and they're like, that's why we didn't want to show you because you think we're demons.
01:30:30.000And then they sterilize everybody, kidnap the kids, and blow the planet up.
01:30:45.000The aliens come to Earth and the planet is 75% water and there's water vapor in all the atmosphere, but they can't handle rain and they're too stupid to wear space suits.
01:31:38.000A lot of people are saying, have been saying for a while now, especially Christian conservatives, that aliens are actually either interdimensional or demons.
01:32:22.000Like it's not like these people, they're just like getting one-shotted by this stuff.
01:32:26.000And yeah, so I wouldn't put it past it that a lot of these extraterrestrial activities is really just spiritual warfare kind of manifested in the physical.
01:36:07.000We did not know that they were going to sell this quickly.
01:36:09.000We thought they were going to sell, but they sold out.
01:36:14.000We are dealing with a glitch where it oversold by 10, which should be possible.
01:36:18.000And those people are all going to get refunds instantly.
01:36:20.000So we do still currently have, as of right now, Jason Ellis, there's 17 boards left for the Jason Ellis Primal Collection Pro Model with the chance to receive one of five serialized gold versions.
01:36:57.000I'm not going to increase the initial run of any of the boards we do just because we sold them quickly.
01:37:02.000So we're planning on doing 50 of each with five as gold and serialized editions.
01:37:07.000That's going to be the same thing for the next graphic we launch, probably in the next month.
01:37:11.000So again, I'm not going to respond to this by being like, okay, let's do 100 boards.
01:37:15.000Now, we're doing these because we think it's cool to have it's better to sell them all out and do small batch and everything and make them special for you guys than to just like try and sell a million.
01:37:28.000Maybe, you know, some other company will do that.
01:37:30.000But we do have the, I'll point this out as well.
01:37:33.000The Be Gay, Don't Be Gay, Uncancelable Declaration and 20th Amendment are five books cheaper, and those are unlimited.
01:37:39.000So you can buy those whenever you feel like it.
01:37:41.000And we weren't going to do the 20th Amendment unlimited.
01:37:44.000We were actually going to, we were going to retire it.
01:37:46.000But we have been selling so many of these, it's insane.
01:38:03.000Chickens being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep, bear, and breed chickens shall not be infringed.
01:38:09.000And I guess people who own chickens love it and they hang it in their chicken coops.
01:38:13.000And as you should, because chickens rule.
01:38:23.000Matt Robbie says, someone needs to make a meme of Elizabeth Warren or AOC dressed as Mary Antoinette tearing up food stamps saying, let them eat cake.
01:39:37.000Shane H. Wilder says, as someone who donates food to the St. Vincent DePaul Society, I can tell you that the church food pantries are not ready.
01:39:43.000Many people don't give because they figure people just get snapped.
01:40:08.000And also like a lot, like a church that I worked with for like food distribution, is most of the food that they received to distribute were just like nearing the expiration date from the grocery store.
01:40:17.000But if there's a shortage of food, people are going to gobble that up and these grocery stores won't have excess food to turn over to these churches.
01:40:23.000It's going to create a really good point.
01:40:26.000It's really D.H. Shannon says, Tim, check out the trailer for a rooster fighter, an anime about a rooster out for revenge against demons that killed his sister.
01:41:37.000And then there's that famous meme where someone posted a picture of their rooster who died fighting off like a raccoon or something.
01:41:45.000And they were like, came out this morning and saw, you know, he had been torn up or he was fighting with like a raccoon or something, saved his hens, but sacrificed himself.
01:44:05.000Because, you know, I mean, listen, you can get a permanent voting block.
01:44:08.000The more people are on food stamps, like the listen, they're going to vote for the people who aren't going to cut their benefits generally, right?
01:44:15.000And it's unfortunate because we were talking about this earlier.
01:44:19.000What happens if you follow the principle of subsidiarity, things are handled by local authorities in a community is taking care of the poor people in the community is a bond forms between the impoverished person and the people helping them.
01:46:05.000The point of that is simply because the child is suffering doesn't mean we shut down our systems of laws.
01:46:10.000Simply because some people actually need help doesn't mean we're going to maintain and keep paying out 42 million people from everyone else's paychecks and everyone else's pocket.
01:46:54.000And so what happens is everybody watching IRL, when we rap, just like a TV station, it auto-plays an inverted world.
01:47:01.000So if you're hanging out, when IRL ends on YouTube, if you don't come watch the uncensored show on Rumble, you will join Shane and you can call in.
01:47:35.000Yeah, something interesting I wanted to say when we were talking about dead internet theory, this point's been made by a few guys online is that a lot of these older websites are just cleaning out the data because it costs a lot of money to store this data.
01:47:47.000So we grew up saying everything on the internet is permanent, you know, nothing goes away.
01:47:52.000Like these companies, and now you're seeing bigger companies like Google, Facebook, et cetera, saying like, hey, we're going to have to expunge the data stores at some point and they're going to clean out a lot of this data.
01:48:03.000So we could get to a point where stuff that's posted online actually only stays up.
01:48:06.000Like you see people all the time saying, does anyone have this old forum post or this old photo or this old video?
01:48:11.000And it's just lost forever because where it was stored got cleaned out.
01:48:16.000There used to be utility to that when all the data was created by people.
01:48:35.000Especially because that's why the LLMs are getting worse because now the data they're being fed is from other AIs.
01:48:41.000And so as we continue to expunge data, that whatever data left was created by human beings, yeah, we're just going to get into this cycle where it's just AI feeding itself its own data and everything's just going to get worse and worse and worse.
01:48:51.000Like we showed that from multiplicity with Michael Keaton where he clones himself and then he comes home one day and there's another clone, but it's retarded.
01:48:58.000And they're like, you know, you make a copy of a copy and it's not as good.
01:50:04.000And that's why I'm in favor of these things.
01:50:05.000I moved there with money, thought I had enough, fell into some unforeseen circumstances, ran out of money, and then said, crap, what do I do?
01:50:15.000And I got it for, I think, like two months.
01:50:18.000And about a month and a half in, got a job, and then said, thank you, and I don't need anymore.
01:50:24.000I just think there's legitimate use cases.
01:50:28.000I'm not even going to argue that mine was perfectly legitimate in that I chose to move to a place and should have foreseen the potential pitfalls of moving to said place.
01:51:50.000Part of the problem was, yeah, the mentality around handouts changed where it used to be quite shameful, embarrassing, et cetera, et cetera.
01:52:06.000It's like these people aren't dumb because some of the ways that they are able to scam these welfare systems, I'm sitting there watching, like, that's actually genius.
01:52:15.000So I'm like, it's not a shortage of intellect that people are robbing and off the teeth of the government.
01:52:22.000I think it's very instructive because what often happens is people will have a mental model for how the world works, which is based on some traditional understanding because they've had to live the traditional understanding of things out to some degree.
01:52:34.000So again, historically, if you went broke, you relied on your community, you relied on your family, you relied on your friends.
01:52:39.000So when we first started these welfare programs on a larger scale, people still had the mentality of, I got to be grateful to this.
01:52:51.000But the more we move away from that point in history where people were directly relying on their community, the harder it is for people to mentally model like, oh, somebody in my community is doing without so that I can have this.
01:53:07.000Sean H. says, as someone who worked for Snap, I can tell you that certain states have emergency funds in their budgets, mostly in Republican states like Virginia, but places like Maryland, their states are bankrupt thanks to DEI funding.
01:53:18.000And because money is fungible, the concern is the feds will send money to the states for these benefits.
01:53:24.000So let's say California's got a million bucks and they go, crap, we have to use this million dollars for welfare benefits, otherwise people will revolt.
01:53:47.000This is one of those tricky things Planned Parenthood used to do where they go like, oh, we don't spend any of the federal funding we get on abortion.
01:53:54.000It's like the federal funds free up your resources so you're able to do horrible things like that.
01:54:10.000Actually, we wanted to do a Riley Moore and Tim Burchett congressional team series.
01:54:17.000So I don't know what the rules are because they're members of Congress.
01:54:20.000I think as long as they don't get anything from it, so that like we can just make a Riley Moore congressional pro model and a Tim Burchett pro model.
01:54:26.000Riley Moore actually, I would estimate that as a young man, he was probably a top-tier skateboarder.
01:54:31.000Now he's in his 40s and he's a dad member of Congress.
01:54:51.000So when I watched Beto ride the board, he clearly, like, guys, okay, real skateboarders know when some, like, you can tell someone's level of skateboard skill by how they carry themselves when they're riding or holding the board.
01:55:07.000And when Beto jumped on the board, every skateboard in the world were like, that guy can't skate.
01:55:10.000Well, you got to remember, like, with skating, you can be really good when you're young, but if you're a woman, it just gets harder as you get older.
01:55:18.000That was an attack on Beto O'Rourke's masculinity.
01:56:03.000No, because what people need to understand, what's really kind of crazy about being overweight is that you have to continually eat to maintain the fat.
01:56:36.000When you see someone morbidly obese, it means that they're eating in excess to maintain the excess of their bodies.
01:56:43.000They could literally just go back to eating a normal meal and they drop a massive amount of weight.
01:56:48.000Well, and this is another huge part of this concern with SNAP being used to purchase processed junk foods is that we end up spending countless millions, hundreds of millions on healthcare benefits for the back end.
01:57:07.000So we spend welfare money feeding people poison, and then they end up being a burden on our healthcare system.
01:57:14.000And not only do we spend money on that, but it actually drives healthcare costs up for everyone else because the system can only ration with the price point.
01:57:37.000Look, at the federal level, what they can do, the states do their own thing, but replace the program with stores instead will have a certain individuals will be able to pick up a bag.
01:57:49.000And when you go to the store and you're receiving food benefits, it is a quart of milk, a loaf of bread, some eggs and butter, and maybe some flour and salt.
01:57:58.000And they say, I got the brick of cheese in there.
01:58:18.000That was like when welfare was first introduced is they would literally just put a crate on your, on your porch that just said eight on it.
01:58:25.000Like there was a lot of shame of like your neighbors would see just a crate that said eight on it.
01:58:29.000Like, oh, wow, the Johnsons aren't doing so well.
01:58:31.000When I lived in Seattle, there was a food bank in my neighborhood.
01:58:35.000And the way it worked is you'd go in and they'd have a bag, a brown paper bag, and they would put a can of beans, a small little thing of flour, a loaf of bread, and like some milk.
01:58:58.000But they actually had, this is the Ballard Food Bank.
01:59:01.000I thought it was at the library, actually.
01:59:02.000They had, at any point, you could walk in and there was a whole shelf of bread.
01:59:07.000You could just walk up and grab a loaf and walk out.
01:59:10.000And it's because their attitude was like there are bakeries that when the day-old bread gets tossed, they put it in the food bank for an extra day or two to see if it's better than going to a landfill.
01:59:47.000The food banks collected food and then gave it out to people who wanted it.
01:59:50.000And it seemed to work for them instead of just throwing it out.
01:59:54.000In Chicago, they get a lot of the hippies are pissed because there will be a bakery and they'll throw away all their breads at the end of the day and then padlock the dumpster to make sure nobody eats it.
02:00:06.000And it's just like, I understand the capitalistic need to be like, you can't have free stuff, but come on, man.
02:00:14.000I remember when I was like 16, me and my friends went to a Burger King and it was like just at 11 or whatever, breakfast was ending.
02:00:20.000And we walked in and we were like, you got to still have breakfast?
02:00:23.000And the guy's like, nah, you can have it all.
02:00:26.000And then he had like a bunch of sandwiches.
02:00:39.000But it would basically all these restaurants, like at the end of the day, the food they just had to offload, they would list it on this app and just be a bag of like random stuff.
02:00:57.000And then, yeah, in college, the Burger King on campus, like I would go right before closing and I would just order a fry and then they would just fill the bag up with all the fries and then I'd take it back and I'd be like, guys, I got us.
02:04:03.000A lot of the stuff the right is trying to make is really cheesy and not very good, unfortunately.
02:04:07.000That's why myself and my team with a proven track record of making entertaining content are stepping out into making a full-length animated show.
02:04:16.000It's an anthology series, and the right-wing message comes out through storytelling and jokes instead of ham-fisted monologues or preaching.
02:04:24.000If you want to help us beat Hollywood, we've only got three weeks left to get this totally funded.
02:04:27.000If you want to help us compete against Hollywood, go to twistedplots.com, support the cause.
02:04:33.000We're going to make entertaining content.
02:04:35.000It's going to be the future of conservative content.
02:04:38.000And if you would see, if you would see as I see, as Tim says.
02:04:43.000So, anyway, last Friday, we did a pre-record.
02:04:47.000We pre-recorded the show a few hours early and then aired it at the normal time, and it actually worked ridiculously well.
02:04:52.000It allowed us to do this VIP backstage for the Discord community.
02:04:56.000So we had about 110 people listening to the whole pre-production process where we're goofing off and pulling up stories and then the full show.
02:05:04.000So it actually turns it into basically a three-hour version of the show for our Discord members.
02:05:11.000We're going to try it again this Friday and see if it is something that works for you guys.
02:05:15.000Here's the thing about Fridays: news typically dies off in the afternoon.
02:05:19.000And then when we do the show late at night live, the thing about Friday is that around half the people who watch the Friday episodes are watching Saturday morning, Sunday morning, and Monday morning because it's Friday night.
02:05:31.000So for us, we were like, it makes more sense than to pre-record when the news is hot, upload at the normal time, but people largely just watch over the weekend as it is for Friday.
02:05:40.000So it frees up time for us, a 0.01% security benefit, but not super, you know, you know, beneficial.
02:05:47.000But that's what we're going to try this Friday as well, which means if you go to Timcast.com, click join us in the Discord server.
02:05:52.000Friday at around one o'clock, we go live for the Discord members behind the scenes backstage for the pre-production of Timcast IRL.
02:06:01.000Hear us talk to our guests, goofing off, picking stories.
02:06:04.000And then when we go to super chats for Friday, it's actually your comments from the Discord community.
02:07:33.000And so, they just sent us directly to the manufacturer.
02:07:35.000So, we lost our distributor, but the manufacturer doesn't want to go to business either.
02:07:39.000So, they were like, we're going to pick up distribution for you guys, which is fantastic, which actually lowers our costs by a small percent.
02:09:08.000For the next series we're going to do, we figured out it's so the reason why we did blank out of five is because they're going to handwrite with gold the numbers.
02:09:17.000What if I change my name to give me gold board?
02:09:22.000Will I be more likely to get a gold board?
02:09:24.000I don't think so because I think it's by order number.
02:09:49.000But if you, for obvious reasons, the more you buy cheaper it gets.
02:09:52.000But what we're going to do for the next run, we're working on the next graphic set.
02:09:57.000It's going to be, I think, weapons themed.
02:10:00.000And we're going to hard print 1, 5, 2, 5, 3, 5, 4, 5, and 5, 5.
02:10:04.000We're also doing that because the other thing we need to consider is the potential for people to try and rip these off and stuff like that, which is difficult.
02:11:09.000And then Step on Sneck and Boobies will get a, well, actually, Boobies is also Sam's, but we are planning on doing an animal theme with a blue-footed booby, which is slightly different for Arm Bears.
02:11:21.000Step on Snack and Find Out will get a new edition.
02:11:24.000When we launch that one, it's probably going to be a redesign in a similar way, but different.
02:11:30.000And this will be probably in a few months.
02:11:32.000We're probably going to do a couple hundred of them and have maybe like 20 golden serialized.
02:11:36.000The reason why Step on Snec has been the biggest seller, period, for us, although it's fallen in popularity.
02:12:31.000I mean, with all this violence we've seen, these terror attacks, now, fuck, if these, if these welfare benefits, like there's going to be people who are apolitical and they're going to be out for blood for the Trump administration.
