00:04:06.000To back up my claim that it's a slow news day, and that's why this story is going massively viral, there's nothing else, is also a story from YouGov where they did a poll asking if an eight year old could beat up Donald Trump winning a fist fight.

00:07:40.000The person in Switzerland was apparently on the boat.
00:07:42.000And when they got off the boat and heard about it, they went to the hospital and they're like, you might actually have this too.
00:07:47.000So far, I think now we have three confirmed deaths, potentially eight cases that are not confirmed, not lab tested, we don't know.
00:07:55.000But I can say, I can confirm, desperate newsrooms around the globe are running this story and screeching like banshees because there was just nothing else to really talk about.
00:08:06.000And I'm going to tell you this because Libby's here to attest to this fact.
00:08:10.000But even here, I actually just didn't, I only did a short version of my morning show.
00:09:27.000Spencer Pratt said on the debate stage, you know, I blame you for burning down my house and my parents' house and all of my neighbors' homes, my kids' school and everything else.
00:10:22.000And Hanta virus, that's the thing where you like, we were talking about this in the chat today, because as you said, there wasn't that much to talk about.
00:10:29.000It's the thing where it's, Like rat poop, basically.
00:10:31.000That's how, yeah, that's how it gets translated.
00:10:46.000You want to know what's really crazy about this?
00:10:49.000You see this website, you're like, wow, Hanta Tracker.
00:10:52.000You can go on Claude and literally just type in, make a website that shows the globe and tracks Hanta virus by country, and it'll do it in 20 seconds.
00:10:59.000And then you can just upload it and run it.
00:11:20.000I love this story with Soothsayer because the conspiracy stuff is much more fun.
00:11:24.000There's like four tweets, and one of them is Hantavirus.
00:11:29.000And I'm just imagining, like, Bill Gates has an intern, some 24 year old chick, and she's like doing selfies, and she's like, I can see the future with astrology.
00:11:37.000And then Bill Gates walks in and goes, I think after coronavirus is over in 23, we should launch the Honda virus.
00:11:46.000What I wonder is, is the news slow today because the people that are trying to produce a global pandemic wanted to shut down all the other news so everyone could focus on Hantavirus?
00:12:50.000They're just funneling money to them like a vacuum cleaner.
00:12:53.000This is a really fascinating aspect of one of your opponents' real weapons being your own nation's economy.0.79
00:12:59.000Like Iran knows it could never actually militarily destroy the United States, but it does know that it's basically sitting on this massive resource and ultimately it can control the flow of economic output.0.64
00:13:10.000And so, you know, you have this phenomenon where Trump is literally fighting the wars over the weekend so they don't impact the markets and then declaring them over during the week and then going back.
00:13:21.000And he's just cycling over and over again.
00:13:24.000Strange dynamic where, like, there are these little bursts of conflict whenever they won't wreck the market and then they pull it back in just in time to set everything back on course.0.95
00:13:33.000And that's to remove Iran's ability to ultimately tank the markets and create economic pain on the United States, which is their greatest weapon.0.97
00:13:40.000They're never going to win with missiles, they're going to win by harming the stock market.0.96
00:14:03.000I'm going to go ahead and just say that this, the flow of this conversation leaves me vindicated that not even any of you care about Honda virus.
00:14:32.000Because I remember we were in the basement and I remember when Trump made the announcement in March, like we're shutting the country down, and we were like, fuck.0.99
00:14:49.000I don't even know what you're talking about.
00:14:51.000Again, it is an interesting dynamic that like Trump's relatively successful first term was completely train wrecked because of the pandemic and everything that came after it, all the madness.
00:15:01.000And then basically halfway through a presidency, you're also seeing another story about pandemics.
00:15:06.000This one seems less likely to take over, but.
00:15:09.000This isn't the first time, wasn't there?
00:15:10.000Wasn't there another story in 2024 or something where people were like, oh man.1.00
00:15:40.000Use it against him, but this time he used an actually deadly one.
00:15:44.000Just to put people at ease, I'm not a doctor, but I have played Plague Inc., and I know that if you want to spread a global virus and you want to spread globally and infect everyone, you don't want to be super deadly.
00:15:54.000You want to be very infective, but not deadly, so that everyone gets it without knowing they have it, and then you mutate and become deadly.
00:16:02.000And then everyone's like, ah, I'm stuck.
00:16:03.000But this thing's already too deadly to start.
00:16:37.000Like anybody who's played Plague Inc., like Ian mentioned, in order to infect the whole world, it has to be a somewhat negligible, high transmissible virus.
00:16:46.000If a virus is too deadly, then whether people want to spread it or not, they die and then it stops spreading.
00:16:52.000Unless the dead bodies can spread it, which is another type of mutation, but it's not real common.
00:16:56.000What's really funny about Ebola do you know about what happens in Africa with Ebola?
00:18:02.000Like this morning, I saw Mark Hamill was like calling for Trump to die, and I was like, wow, that's crazy.
00:18:07.000But I don't know how much I care because it's like the 18th celebrity to do it in the past couple of weeks.
00:18:11.000So, well, you know, I think one thing that happened with that is that we all got kind of immune to celebrities calling for the assassination of the president.
00:18:20.000And so we stopped really talking about it that much.
00:18:22.000And I think it's time to start talking about it again.
00:18:24.000Mark Hamill was calling for the assassination of Donald Trump.
00:18:27.000You had Justin Pearson in the Tennessee legislature, who's very outspoken, blah, blah, blah.0.97
00:18:33.000He was calling, he was saying Trump is a domestic terrorist.
00:20:19.000I mean, I stopped watching it in season one.0.99
00:20:21.000Halfway through, they had to make some incredibly lazy storyline about how the Christian conservatives were the real evil people and they are all secretly gay child molesters.0.99
00:20:30.000And it's like, oh, so this again, it's all anti Christian.0.99
00:22:40.000Well, remember that Disney fired Gina Carano for her comments, right?
00:22:44.000So, Mark Hamill is not gonna get fired over this obviously because he's like core to the franchise and because Disney obviously agrees with this.
00:22:50.000So, they absolutely, you know, should lose everything on this.
00:23:10.000It's really sad that conservatives don't have the cultural sticking power to make people pay for this.
00:23:16.000When Jimmy Kimmel did his monologue on Charlie Kirk's assassination, me and Benny Johnson worked as hard as we could to get that guy fired.
00:23:23.000And we got him taken off the air for like a week or something, which.
00:23:30.000Like it wasn't even able to stick.0.95
00:23:32.000So, even in that moment where like someone had literally been murdered in front of everyone and there was like the most amount of ferocity you would ever see from the conservative movement over it, even in that moment, it was difficult to leverage that for a full cancellation for a guy like Jimmy Kimmel, who's an absolute loser anyway.
00:23:47.000So, I hate to say that I don't think conservatives are going to make any real hay about this, but they absolutely should.
00:23:53.000There's no reason you should give people who want to kill you your money.
00:23:55.000Like you really deserve what you get if you keep doing that.
00:23:57.000You think it's because he's real quick, he's also got a recurring role in Invincible, which is a massive show.
00:24:52.000Are you being hyperbolic, or do you mean like global economic order, banking systems would rather see American citizens dead than deal with them?
00:24:59.000No, I mean, the left sees our politics are quickly becoming existential in a way that Americans are simply not prepared for.
00:25:07.000Like, we have this belief that really we just peacefully transfer power and that's how the system works.
00:25:13.000And it's been true for a while in the United States.
00:25:16.000But realistically, that's just not over history how politics works.
00:25:20.000And we're entering a moment in which we have become so divided that there's simply no way that you're going to heal this thing.
00:25:26.000We're not going to talk it out or have some kind of rational conversation about what's going on.
00:25:30.000So the left is drawing the very basic conclusion that if they ever lose an election, they basically just need to murder whoever won.
00:25:37.000Like, that really is their absolute understanding of what's going on here.
00:25:41.000And they have not received enough of a penalty for their repeated attempts to do so.
00:25:45.000So it's just going to keep escalating until the right takes it seriously, which they seem pretty determined not to.
00:25:50.000I need to give some context, too, for a lot of people who just don't understand.
00:25:52.000Mark Hamill is Luke Skywalker and the Joker.
00:25:55.000Probably his, I would argue, the Joker is a more iconic role.
00:26:00.000It was for 30 years he played the Joker in all of these mediums.
00:26:04.000And a lot of people don't realize this.
00:26:19.000Only Mark Hamill's Joker could make an answering machine greeting so terrifying.
00:26:23.000Anyway, the point is, that was an example of him voicing the Joker.
00:26:27.000And he's in the video game, and he's got actually some really horrifying lines in the games when they make Joker actually murder people and stuff like that.
00:26:41.000I spend a lot of time with like moderate liberals.
00:26:44.000So I think that's why when I'm around liberal people, they're usually pretty moderate.
00:26:47.000So I don't see the extreme that you have noticed or like, you see the scale.
00:26:51.000You tend to see things in scales, I think, too, like historically.0.63
00:26:54.000Well, there was this fascinating thing the other day where Stephen Colbert was interviewing Obama and they were talking about if Mamdani is the future of the Democrat Party.
00:27:02.000And they agreed that, you know, he probably is.
00:27:05.000And Colbert said something really fascinating, which was he said, My kids come up to me and they say, Dad, you're a liberal.
00:27:27.000There was just a piece in Compact Magazine.
00:27:29.000They were the people who did that piece about basically how all the white guys had been frozen out of hiring in media and corporations.
00:27:36.000And they did a follow up piece on medical stuff.
00:27:38.000And basically, it's this guy talking about coming in after the day that Charlie Kirk got shot.
00:27:43.000And basically, all of the nurses, all of the doctors are just laughing, celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, talking about how he deserved it.0.98
00:27:50.000What a fascist, what a white supremacist.0.97
00:27:52.000These are the people who are responsible for your medical care.1.00
00:27:54.000They're the people who have you under the knife.
00:27:56.000And if they find out you're conservative, What happens next?
00:27:59.000Like, people do not understand how deep this runs.
00:28:02.000Well, conservatives are unwilling to use power.
00:28:04.000What I will say is, in the redistricting fight, it looks surprisingly like the conservatives are actually fighting, right?
00:28:16.000But Alito and Thomas always have, but the other conservative justices have finally gotten on board with it.
00:28:21.000And it's like, hey, maybe Brett Kavanaugh realized they would actually kill him and his family this time.
00:28:25.000I think the Trump admin is probably concerned with biting the trap.
00:28:29.000That the communists will lay out, which is like Saul Winsky's rule for radicals.
00:28:34.000You want the opponent to become the fascist by cracking down on your street violence so that you can rally your communist allies to say, See, we told you they are fascist.
00:28:52.000So that's why I think they're not slamming down hard with hard power and they're doing things like USAID and unraveling things behind the scenes.
00:29:02.000If you look at history, if you look at something like the Spanish Civil War and the escalation going into it, it was the fact that the right wing, that the standing government was not willing to deal with what was going on.
00:29:13.000The continuous assassination of right wingers is actually what eventually drove people towards someone like Francisco Franco to solve the problem.
00:29:22.000So if you crack down early and hard, you end up in a scenario where people don't believe they can get away with violence and you don't see the spiral of escalation.
00:29:29.000But when you allow that, you build this basically broken window scenario.
00:29:34.000Broken windows policing, the idea that if you allow these in your neighborhood, it's only going to get worse because people see it's allowable and they don't care to take care of the thing around them.
00:29:43.000Same thing is true with political violence.
00:29:45.000Once you recognize that political violence is on the table, it becomes the only option.
00:29:49.000It becomes the superior strategy in every scenario.
00:29:52.000So if you don't nip it in the bud, if you don't secure the monopoly on violence as the state, someone else will do violence.
00:29:57.000And if you allow these radical leftists to do it, it will only get worse.
00:30:01.000Well, and we're in a situation now where people who follow the laws are held accountable to the laws.
00:30:06.000And if you don't follow the laws, And you're just a criminal, you're not held accountable at all.
00:30:10.000We've seen so many people and so many stories of people getting off after committing rapes or murders or really vile things, being said that they are not mentally capable to stand trial, but for some reason they're mentally capable to wander around society and kill people.
00:30:25.000Yeah, San Francisco called this anarcho tyranny.
00:30:27.000And again, it's an intentional strategy.
00:30:31.000When you recognize that you can leverage the lower classes against the middle class that actually have the power to change things, the capital, the votes, the organization.0.69
00:30:40.000You can actually destroy all of your up and coming opponents while maintaining your own power as an elite.0.72
00:30:45.000So, this is actually a surprisingly active strategy.1.00
00:30:49.000It's not some mistake because our elites are stupid.1.00
00:30:52.000No, it's effective and intentional.1.00
00:30:54.000The elite class will mobilize the lower class to attack the middle class.
00:31:54.000In any functioning country, the moment Mom Dhani said that he would defy the will of the American voters to protect illegal immigrants in this country, the federal government would intervene, issue emergency management, some kind of like Reconstruction era move.
00:32:10.000But I don't know if we have any kind of real strength in our political class.
00:32:16.000I don't know if Donald Trump has the strength for this kind of thing.
00:32:19.000I can't imagine they're unaware of it.
00:32:21.000I mean, Harmite Dillon especially has to be aware of it.
00:33:05.000What Mom Dhani represented when he campaigned explicitly on, I know what the American people have voted for and I will weaponize the wealth and resources of this city against them.0.98
00:33:19.000That is a, that person should be charged with sedition.
00:33:23.000Instead, Trump invites him to the White House.
00:33:26.000Well, he, I think because he just said he was going to do it.
00:33:49.000No, sedition is when you rally people to corrupt the government.
00:33:54.000So we've actually dealt with this multiple times in our nation's history.
00:33:56.000We called this the nullification crisis.
00:33:59.000Because there was a question as to whether or not the state legislatures had to enforce federal law, whether they could choose to basically ignore it because they were sovereign entities under the Constitution.
00:34:09.000And Andrew Jackson basically said, Yeah, you're going to do what I tell you to do and threaten to use serious force.
00:34:15.000But this was an open question for a long time in America.
00:34:18.000It was supposed to be resolved after the nullification crisis.
00:34:21.000But it turns out that most of the time it's one side that gets away with basically ignoring the law.
00:34:27.000I mean, how long did we have sanctuary cities in the United States?
00:34:30.000Flagrant violations of law, obvious instance of nullification.
00:34:36.000And then the right, when they came, are in those situations, never do anything like that.
00:34:40.000So now, recently, you have again, no vacation with Mamdani holding a press conference saying, We will not comply with federal law enforcement on immigration.
00:34:48.000So here's a guy who campaigns saying, If you vote for me, vote for me in this city, I will fight against the American people.
00:36:20.000Somewhat frustrating in that they really just ham it up like Trump, you know, is Homelander.
00:36:25.000And it's kind of weird to be like Trump is Superman as an insult, seriously.1.00
00:36:29.000So they just make him an asshole and it's like, okay.0.99
00:36:31.000But they had an episode of The Boys where Homelander hallucinates this woman he used to suckle on, literally suckle on, because they're obsessed with it.0.99
00:36:42.000And he says, I'm, it's like she floats to him as an angel, has a vision, and he says, I'm the savior, I'm the messiah, or whatever.
00:36:52.000And everybody was like, this is really weird.
00:36:54.000And then you actually have in one of the later episodes, again, these episodes are written and filmed before everything, where they're talking about efforts taken by Homelander, who's manipulating the president, are going to cause a spike in oil prices, and OPEC will revolt, and it's going to cut off the West.
00:37:12.000So the US is now ramping up oil production, and they're building an oil pipeline.
00:37:16.000And I'm like, you know, here's the thing Daredevil season two is about Kingpin, a charismatic criminal.
00:37:24.000Rallies all the people and they all support him.
00:37:33.000Goes to war with the governor, threatens her, and makes demands from her.
00:37:35.000She refuses, tries to have her assassinated.
00:37:37.000Again, I'm not suggesting someone's doing those things, but it is interesting how Daredevil season two is about a corrupt mayor taking over, claiming he loves the city, and threatening the governor and then trying to kill her.
00:37:49.000And then Daredevil has to fight the mayor.
00:37:51.000And I'm like, you know, now what I will say is the cops.
00:38:08.000He has his own armed force with illegal weapons that they brought in, and the cops stand against him in the end.
00:38:15.000But I just thought it was funny that, you know, these two shows are kind of, you know, although they'll probably argue, no, no, Zorhan Mamdani's the good guy.
00:38:30.000How much of it is it that Zorhan Mamdani is just cognitively impaired?
00:38:35.000I don't think he's at all cognitively impaired.
00:38:37.000I think that he is, everything that he's doing is intentional and on purpose.
00:38:41.000And that he is seeking to create New York City as some sort of socialist utopia where everyone relies on the government for everything from transportation to food to employment to healthcare to childcare to anything else he can come up with.
00:39:16.000I mean, my son has for sure, but that's because he's inquisitive and me and his dad teach him all that stuff.
00:39:23.000But yeah, that's what's going to happen.
00:39:25.000And by the time Americans are completely deprived of their liberty and they have what they think is an easy life and they're thoroughly controlled, it's going to be way too late.0.87
00:39:33.000Well, and this is also why you're getting lots of mass immigration, right?0.87
00:39:36.000Because again, it's low and high versus the middle.0.99
00:39:39.000Not only do you have these students who aren't learning about it, you have a lot of immigrants who come in who just have no connection to the tradition.1.00
00:39:43.000They're not familiar with the history.1.00
00:39:57.000And I certainly don't have it now that I've moved here.
00:39:59.000So you're basically moving in an entire underclass yet again that you can use to leverage against existing Americans that might be able to oppose what you're doing.
00:40:18.000You either hook the electrode to the brain and stimulate the dopamine until they don't work anymore, or you track them with AI surveillance and remove them from the equation before they can become a problem.0.99
00:40:32.000Oh, no, I'm saying if you were the powers that be and you were like, uh oh, we brought in all these immigrants and now there's going to be a civil war, you say, okay, blast out AI.0.96
00:40:41.000So the people who fall into the AI trap and just basically self gratify all day will disappear.0.79
00:40:46.000Anybody who tries to stand up will track with mass surveillance and then just remove them on some fake.
00:41:32.000Let me ask you let's say, you know, like one day government dudes, men in black, show up to your house or whatever, and they're like, you know, you're a problem for what we're doing.
00:41:42.000So we're going to give you a choice.0.54
00:41:44.000You can stop doing politics and we'll pay you.
00:42:32.000And then I just want to just offer money to various political commentators for what, Seemingly, it would be like normal products just to see who would take it.
00:42:40.000And the products will always be like, you know, this is a really good idea, actually.
00:42:56.000And then you like launch a product where it seems somewhat normal, like, you know, it's a face cream and it's like, yeah, it's like to clear up your acne, it's like organic.
00:43:05.000But then it turns out it's made with like aborted baby parts.
00:43:07.000And it's like, see how many conservatives would sell that.
00:46:41.000The Chinese, the Soviets, they were vanguardists.
00:46:43.000So this is actually a really interesting problem.
00:46:46.000James Burnham wrote a book called The Managerial Revolution.
00:46:50.000And basically, what he was trying to explain is that communism, fascism, and yes, even liberal democracy were all basically converging on the same system of managerialism, the elite vanguard that you're describing there.
00:47:02.000And so what we're really Talking about is not the issue of communism.
00:47:05.000What we're talking about is the issue of high scale centralized governments in a managerial process.
00:47:11.000And that's why it reliably produces the same outcome.
00:47:13.000People say, oh, fascism and communism are the same thing.
00:47:17.000Well, kind of, because they're actually all trying to deal with the same problem, which is mass consumption, mass production, the creation of kind of the Industrial Revolution and modern capitalism.
00:47:49.000So it's specifically that communist members of communist organizations that were subject to registration.
00:47:55.000So these are communist action organizations, front organizations.
00:47:59.000And I believe I actually have a list of what defines the organization.
00:48:03.000They're officially on paper saying Communist Party of the United States, any successors of such party, regardless of assumed name.
00:48:09.000Whose objective purpose is to overthrow the government of the United States or the government of any state, territory, district, or possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein by force, are not entitled to any rights, privileges, and immunities attended upon legal bodies created under the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof.
00:48:26.000And whatever rights, privileges, and immunities which have heretofore been granted to said party or any subsidiary organization by reason of the laws of the United States shall be terminated.
00:49:47.000My point is this the law doesn't matter.
00:49:50.000We have the VRA, we have Section 2, and I'll have to hear your thoughts on this.
00:49:57.000The Voting Rights Act says no discrimination based on race in voting.0.93
00:50:00.000So in 1965, the courts go, okay, this means you have to make all black districts.
00:50:06.000Today, under the exact same language, the Supreme Court says, no, no, that means you can't make all black districts.
00:50:11.000It's the same law with inverted meaning.
00:50:14.000So the point is, Trump could look at this law and say, the DSA is a successor party of the Communist Party.
00:50:21.000Anybody who says their DSA has just forfeited all rights.
00:50:25.000Yeah, this is a constant part of the Civil Rights Act, actually.
00:50:28.000So originally, when it was written, it said explicitly, For instance, that you couldn't privilege people due to the race or specifically draw lines when it comes to outcomes.
00:50:36.000And then a few years later, the courts ruled in Griggs versus Duke Power that you could create this disparate impact test.
00:50:44.000And if there's any disparate impact between the races, even if you can't prove there was racism, you are by default violating the Civil Rights Act and it's therefore racist.
00:50:53.000So this has been the case with the Civil Rights Act forever.
00:50:54.000They just rewrite it whenever they want to.
00:53:57.000I think they're aware, and I'm with you, that the Trump administration should be far more aggressive and far more creative with its use of the law and power.
00:54:06.000I will say one thing, however, that is a huge stumbling block.
00:54:09.000The thing that Biden and Obama and all these people have going for them is that all of the system already aligns with what they want to do and what they want to believe.
00:54:17.000So the reason that it feels like guys like Obama or Biden are ultimately more powerful when they're in office.
00:54:23.000Isn't because they gained any kind of new ability by taking over that office.
00:54:27.000You know, the Article II of the Constitution didn't change.
00:54:29.000What happens is all the other branches of government, all the other mechanisms, all of the bureaucracy is already aligned with them.
00:54:36.000And so they just move in that direction and allow them to do whatever they want to do.
00:54:39.000When Trump's in office, all of that machinery is pushing against it.
00:54:42.000So I think the administration is doing its best to try to turn that ship.
00:54:45.000I think that's why you're seeing Army Dillon and others kind of doing good work.
00:54:48.000But half of her office won't work for her, even now, after so many people have been fired or left, because They just hate the Republicans and they're going to dig in and do that.
00:55:41.000I think Marco Rubio has shilled for amnesty his entire life and then suddenly turned around for a year and said, actually, maybe I don't believe in amnesty because the Trump administration told me I don't.
00:55:52.000And then just yesterday, he was saying, actually, anyone from anywhere can be an American again.
00:55:56.000So, I'm very, very worried about Marco Rubio when it comes to.
00:56:00.000What he was saying was, I think, a little different.
00:56:02.000I think he was saying that anyone from anywhere can come here and achieve.
00:56:06.000But I think what he, my interpretation of that, because I thought that those were really great remarks.
00:56:11.000And I think that my understanding of an American, and I think you might disagree with me, but it's someone who is either born in America and you accept our values and our culture and you're part of this country and it's where you're from.
00:56:27.000Or if you're an immigrant and you come here, you cast off all your other ties, you cast off any allegiance to your home nation, and you say, I'm going to be an American.
00:56:35.000I'm going to embrace these values, this culture, these founding documents, and I'm going to do my best to achieve on these terms.
00:56:42.000So I do think that immigrants have a place in this country and have a place to, you know, achieve and take advantage of everything that's great that there is to offer, but not to come here and get handouts.
00:56:53.000But that's not what we're getting at all.
00:59:02.000And he started complaining about white people.0.98
00:59:04.000And then I was like, I don't know why you're all mad.0.99
00:59:07.000And he started talking smack about white people.1.00
00:59:09.000They steal everything, they stole this land.0.99
00:59:12.000And then he said, My grandmother told me to have as many kids as possible so that we can steal the land back from them because we outvote them.
00:59:19.000And then I was like, Wow, sure, whatever.
00:59:29.000They really believe it's about race.0.97
00:59:31.000That when there's immigration and people on the right are upset that the city is now multicultural, whatever, they're like, oh, they hate black people or they hate Indian people.0.82
00:59:40.000When the real concern is the cultural deconstruction.
00:59:58.000And it's response to this comment voting may matter within the Constitutional Republic, but uh, well, the Constitutional Republic is nearly an open air prison.
01:01:27.000It doesn't fucking matter what year it is.0.97
01:01:30.000In the year of our Lord 2026, we are still discussing the merits of.1.00
01:01:34.000Black people fucking voting because you are not different than your fucking ancestors.1.00
01:01:40.000You know, I thought about it for a while.1.00
01:01:42.000The first reaction I had was like it was like a visceral anger to him at just attacking white people.
01:01:47.000I'm not completely white, but I'm a little bit.0.93
01:01:49.000And then I stopped and really thought about what he was saying, and I was like, no, I mean, he's right.
01:01:55.000People need to be told based on their race to be better.0.94
01:01:59.000And when it turns out, according to the FBI crime stats, that it's largely black men committing all the violent crimes, this man has inspired me.0.99
01:02:08.000And I think based on his advocacy and his name, we shall put forth laws that give you harsher penalties if you commit a crime while being black.1.00
01:02:26.000And, you know, and there's other bad people who are black.0.97
01:02:29.000So maybe if he says we need laws to stop white people from being bad, maybe if we make laws specifically targeting black people the way he's argued, it might stop the murders.0.95
01:02:37.000Yeah, it would probably tell you that there already are those laws in place.0.86
01:02:41.000If this dude was a white dude with like maybe a shaved head and he was screaming about black people, you black people, could you imagine how much negative attention he'd be getting?0.72
01:02:57.000That's like the first good reason we did these laws in the first place because of black men.0.99
01:03:01.000Well, I mean, the funny thing about this is, you know, we're doing the old, well, what if the roles were reversed, which is, yeah, okay.0.96
01:03:08.000So obviously you can be racist against white people and not black people, news at 11.
01:03:12.000But also, like, the bigger part of his rant here is, is like, well, why do you have so many laws centered around race?
01:03:17.000And actually, that's a really great question, right?
01:03:19.000Because the left says we have to have them because America is inherently racist.
01:03:23.000And without that, we're going to have all of the racist outcomes that Americans really want.
01:03:28.000But the funny thing is, you can't get Republicans to roll these back, either.
01:03:32.000Usually, it's kind of impressive that we finally saw that in the Voting Rights Act.
01:03:36.000And once again, God bless Clarence Thomas and his absolute, like, just carrying the constitutional order on his shoulders.0.58
01:03:43.000However, one of the reasons those laws exist is despite decades and decades and decades of basically rigging the entire system in favor of minorities, we still see disparate outcomes.0.72
01:03:56.000We have changed the laws to make it harder to fire minorities, easier to hire them, make it basically illegal to have too many white people in your office.0.51
01:04:04.000We've done this for education, and none of this has significantly shifted the outcomes.0.83
01:04:32.000There are some hundred year olds around, I guess.
01:04:34.000But in 1965, when these laws were being passed, The voting bloc that was influencing this, that passed this, they were in their late 30s or 40s.
01:04:42.000Those people are not 100, they're not around anymore.
01:04:46.000Well, everyone also forgets that that march on Washington was a march for civil rights and jobs.
01:04:52.000So there were a lot of working class people out there who just wanted, like, you know, a job.
01:05:00.000And that was a huge part of how you got such a wide coalition of people who were in favor of these, in favor of, That whole, you know, like what and how in what way do they get jobs?
01:05:12.000Oh, I don't know if they got jobs, but that was what the march was called, you know.
01:05:16.000And I know that, like, um, uh, I, you know, I know there's people in my family ancestors, whatever, people who went to the march and that's what they were there for.
01:05:27.000They wanted, like, just like people now today are like, we want good jobs so we can raise our families, you know, without worrying about having to get five jobs.
01:05:35.000I want to nitpick this guy's argument a little bit because America is a very young country and it's just freshly.
01:06:19.000I mean, if you look at it now, there's more slavery right now in the Middle East than there was during the entire like slave trade in the United States.0.71
01:06:29.000I gotta say something because the one thing I can respect for a lot of the social justice stuff is I was hanging out at the poker room as one does, and there was a black dude he was playing, and a question came up.
01:06:40.000I can't remember why, but someone mentioned like Europe and their like grandparents, and I said, Oh, you can become a citizen.
01:08:46.000Well, they tried to kill Trump four times.
01:08:48.000I definitely find the racial element of slavery a correlation because of where the slaves of this nation were taken from.
01:08:56.000Like, If it had been, you know, a North African Carthaginian culture that had been taken Roman slaves, 200 years later, after they're freed, all the slaves would have been white guys and they would have been complaining for white people's rights because all the Carthaginians have dark skin and they have all the money.0.55
01:09:12.000So, like, it's just, it doesn't really matter.0.64
01:09:14.000It's just about, you know, it's more about who, it's less about what you look like.
01:09:19.000The thing, too, is like the African slave traders didn't end slavery, the British ended slavery.
01:09:25.000You know, like the entire narrative is backwards and wrong.0.65
01:09:29.000This thing is all a system of control because they have Black Lives Matter and replacement immigration in Ireland, which was literally a place that was oppressed for centuries by the English and had nothing to do with the slave trade or any of it.0.69
01:09:43.000But they use the same rhetoric in Ireland that they use in the United States.0.87
01:09:47.000You just have to step over this stuff.
01:11:37.000It was the free wild west from 2006 to 2008, but then people started getting paid.
01:11:42.000Well, it's also the tyranny of algorithms.
01:11:44.000Like eventually, there's just a maximal way to game the algorithm only one way, only one set of news stories, only one way to master the news cycle so that you stay on top.
01:11:54.000And then everyone just converges on that strategy.
01:11:57.000The best practices become the only thing that dictates what people cover.
01:12:00.000My hypothesis is how to create the news by doing a more entertaining show than whatever's out there.
01:12:05.000Well, I will say that actually we're reverting back to the fact that you will get more views doing news production.
01:12:13.000There was a period where news production was waning because it was too easy to aggregate, but now aggregation is saturated and news production is going to come back.
01:15:53.000Like, if there was a sanctioned MMA fight, Dana White and Trump came in, I'm 40, but I'm sorry.
01:15:59.000He's got, you know, half a foot on me, but I could still win a fight against an 80 year old man.
01:16:04.000I was like, you know, there's, if this is weighted for age and gender, there's going to be a bunch of women who are like, look, I weigh, I'm 5'2", 100 pounds.
01:16:39.000You know, I posted that it's a slow news day, and then someone said, it's not that there's no news, it's that our tolerance has been built up to an extreme degree.
01:16:46.000You know, because Jess, who works here, she was like, we're on the verge of civil war, World War III, the AI takeover, and an alien invasion, and there's no news today.
01:16:53.000Like, dude, we're in the Iranian, the Hormuz, straight Hormuz.
01:16:56.000If this was 2007, I'd be screaming my head off daily about it on the internet.
01:18:29.000I think, what if they come, if the government comes as like a blue beam version of Jesus, and then the Christians are like, oh my God, Jesus is here.0.93
01:18:38.000And they're like, no, no, no, that's an alien pretending to be Jesus.0.91
01:20:04.000They're going to be like, Yeah, don't you ever hear about those yogis that just their whole lives, all they ever did was meditate and do nothing?
01:20:26.000Then when I got older, I read about caloric deprivation.
01:20:28.000And I was like, oh, yeah, actually, if you're not doing anything and all you're doing is sitting every single day, doing minimal caloric intake and exercise, we do see a 70% lifespan increase.
01:20:39.000I think your brain activates neurogenesis while you're meditating, too.
01:20:43.000I haven't really studied the science behind it, but when you allow your thoughts to rest, it's when your body can regenerate.
01:20:49.000If the key barrier to achieving a transcendent understanding of the universe is that you get bored, then you probably don't deserve to achieve a transcendent understanding of the universe.
01:22:39.000It's not really a, it's a pretty good roadmap.
01:22:41.000But as opposed to like, Please bring these people what they need, saying thank you for bringing these people what they need before they even have it.
01:22:48.000And then, because you're glad that they have it, even though they don't yet, they get it.
01:22:55.000Like you believe it's real and then it becomes real.
01:22:57.000Yeah, this is kind of a, again, this hyperstition, which is, you know, there's some truth to that, but I don't think that's like a trick that works with God.
01:23:15.000As Washington Insider warns, full truth will still be hidden.
01:23:19.000Tim Burchett said that he had a private UFO briefing from the Pentagon.
01:23:23.000He said, Oddly enough, I got a call that tomorrow at 3 p.m., I'm going to be briefed over the phone.
01:23:27.000The Secretary of War's top dogs will go over stuff.
01:23:30.000Burchett's comments came as anticipation continues to build around the president and his effort to declassify federal UFO files.
01:23:36.000However, he added, I don't want everybody to get their hopes up.
01:23:38.000I don't have a lot of faith in our government.
01:23:40.000This thing's been covered up at least since 1947.
01:23:42.000Now, interestingly, we have all these pastors coming out saying they've been briefed by government officials to prepare their congregations.
01:24:28.000I honestly think that if today, maybe today was a slow news day, but Donald Trump, what he's going to do is aliens are going to land on the White House lawn, and then everyone's going to be going, aliens, oh my God.0.99
01:24:39.000And then Donald Trump's going to tweet out something like, the Democrats are a bunch of fat pigs who should be charged with treason.0.97
01:24:46.000And then everyone's going to go, wait right here to the aliens, and they're going to run over to try and cover Trump.0.99
01:24:51.000I don't think people are going to care that much about the aliens.
01:24:53.000I mean, especially if they're not actually showing up.
01:24:56.000If it's just like there were some spaceships, there's some, you know, maybe we found some wreckage.
01:26:23.000Now, there is a theory that a lot of these pastors believe the government is lying, telling them to prepare for this because they want to break faith in Christianity.
01:26:31.000They go to pastors and say, look, aliens are real.
01:26:43.000I brought it up the other night, and this is something my friends are like, oh, look at Ian disrespecting Christians.
01:26:47.000I said, look, if someone's willing to believe something without proof, because I look at earth religions as like evidential, a lot of them are based on like text that you don't have a lot of like, you know, a piece of text that's self referential text.
01:26:59.000So if someone's willing to believe something without proof, they might be willing to believe something else without proof, like aliens are here.
01:27:05.000So I don't want these people to be led astray because Christianity has wonderful values and morals that you need to abide by or you can.
01:27:12.000Can improve your life by abiding by, but that doesn't mean you have to believe that every fact in the book actually is real.
01:27:17.000But the mistake that you're making is the presumption that because someone has a lifetime of experiences which leads them to belief, that a single experience at one time would change or give them a new belief.
01:27:29.000You said there are people who can believe things on evidence.
01:27:31.000I'd be worried they would believe in aliens.
01:27:33.000You're talking about a person who has lived their whole life in accordance with a worldview which leads them to believe something strongly versus that same person then seeing aliens land and believing instantly that, well, you know, like my whole worldview is wrong.
01:27:47.000I mean, we hold on to our epistemologies pretty tightly.
01:27:51.000So, for instance, when it came to public health, we literally watched like every major organization in the United States and the wider world lie to us on a regular basis from positions of authority.
01:28:03.000And despite that, a couple of years later, everybody basically just went back to believing what those people said on a regular basis.
01:28:10.000So, I think it's fair to say that once people are in that rut, it's pretty hard to break.
01:28:13.000There are more people who don't believe the government than ever before, I think, because of the actions during COVID.
01:28:53.000It's just that men are made in God's image.
01:28:55.000So if an alien comes and it's not human, a demon image doesn't mean like his literal physical image.
01:29:00.000They don't mean that like God has two physical arms and legs in the same way that a human does, though obviously Jesus did when incarnated in that way.
01:29:10.000I mean, that you have the ability to see what God sees, to understand, or not exactly see what God sees, but to experience free will, to understand the world in a way that no other being.
01:29:22.000In the world, does I mean, I guess there are people who could argue that yes, they did mean in a little physical, you know, incarnation way, but I think most people understand it as more of a spiritual image of God and not a like actual physical resemblance to God.0.75
01:29:36.000The other reason I believe that they are potentially targeting Christians, like you mentioned earlier, Tim, is that if you can break America's founding religion as much as it's taken, especially for the last 40 years with the internet getting sloshed by the globe, but like if you can break people away from that.0.71
01:29:55.000In question, that they'd toss the morals aside.0.67
01:29:57.000And if they toss the morals of Christianity aside, I feel like we've lost.
01:30:01.000If you lose the ability to have like patience for your enemy, you can destroy your enemy without hating him.
01:30:08.000When you hate, you get blinded, you get lazy, you get diffused.
01:30:13.000You need to maintain these virtues to win a war in a lot of ways.
01:38:25.000Like, if you were willing to defend the country, you were allowed to vote.
01:38:29.000That's the classic definition of an actual republic.
01:38:32.000That's how we had so many Irishmen in the Civil War.0.98
01:38:34.000Well, as a Southerner whose family was shot by those Irishmen, I have mixed feelings about Lincoln importing a bunch of immigrants to murder our Americans, but you know, feel how you feel about that.0.99
01:38:46.000Service guaranteed citizenship might lead towards a lot of illegal immigrants joining the military.0.95
01:38:51.000Well, so to be clear, in the classical Republican sense, service guaranteed citizenship means when citizens serve.
01:38:58.000They then are elevated to the point where they can vote.
01:39:01.000So, for instance, in the Roman military, when it was a republic, it was voluntary.
01:39:05.000In fact, not only was it voluntary, you had to pay for your own equipment.
01:39:08.000There was no wages for being a soldier.
01:39:11.000And that's where we get equestrian class.
01:39:13.000They were the people who were wealthy enough to buy horses.
01:39:16.000That's why we got the word knight out of it.
01:39:18.000And that worked its way into English, because literally you had to purchase your way into fighting in the military.
01:39:24.000And that's what proved you to be worthy of elevation, going through the cursus honorum, like ultimately elevating and taking political office.
01:39:47.000So you don't want to bring in a bunch of outsiders because that's also how Rome fell.1.00
01:39:50.000They started paying a bunch of immigrants to be in the military.0.95
01:39:53.000And it turned out that actually, if you hire your entire military from a bunch of Gauls who were moving in, they don't actually care about Rome.0.76
01:40:00.000And was that just a phenomenon that?0.82
01:40:19.000If the power goes out, we've overexpanded.
01:40:21.000If we have electricity, we seem to have not.
01:40:24.000I am concerned about a power outage.0.94
01:40:25.000Well, but that's because people are doing stupid things with their power and trying to convert their entire grids to solar and renewables, which is not effective.0.74
01:40:32.000By the way, have you heard that all these data centers, they're like cutting.0.90
01:40:34.000They're like done, not done, but they're like, we're going to stop putting data centers on Earth.
01:40:38.000We're going to start putting them in orbit because it's that's the plan.
01:42:58.000A technocracy, what could be better than a technocracy that we're everything literally anarchy would be better than a technocracy?
01:43:03.000I don't know, no rule, no rule, no, would you rather live in a communist dictatorship or a technocracy?
01:43:09.000Oh, god, you said the same thing twice.
01:43:12.000I know, no, no, no, I mean, like, I mean, like an industrial revolution era Soviet communist dictatorship or a modern era technocracy.0.92
01:43:20.000What about like, I'd say technocracy easy, yeah, what about, yeah, I mean, what about like, as long as my communism is gay space and luxury, it's fine, yeah, what gay space and luxury.0.90
01:43:44.000But not if we do it right, because what's happening is Elon, you can have a corporate government that is done like the American government, but we need to architect.
01:43:52.000The next thing you know, they're just selling you the air you breathe.
01:43:55.000I worked with Mines, I started a company.
01:43:57.000It's a social network called Mines, where we developed through all of U.S. law, basically what would it be like to govern yourself on a social network.
01:44:06.000If something gets reported, it goes to a jury of people that volunteer for a jury, and then they can say, Yes, that violates the law.
01:44:13.000And then if their account gets it wrong, then they get deprioritized in their juror capabilities, and people will sort of self police the network.
01:44:20.000If we can create a system like that, that's a corporation where people can get paid for using it, it's righteous, it involves the U.S. Constitution as its basis, then we can preempt the global economic corporate government.
01:44:33.000We already have the U.S. Constitution where we're all represented.
01:44:37.000You know, we can all vote for representatives, and ideally they represent our interests in the seat of government.
01:44:42.000But the World Economic Forum is talking about corporate governance.
01:44:45.000They want to move away from national governance to a corporate governance.
01:45:49.000But functionally, What we're talking about is state control, entire state control of ideological understandings of the world through technocratic means.
01:45:58.000Like that's going to be where everyone's going.
01:46:01.000And so that's why everyone is implementing censorship of the internet right now.
01:46:05.000It's why everyone's trying to tie bank accounts down.
01:46:07.000That's why everyone's trying to make sure you can't drive in your car.
01:46:10.000That's why, because the only way you can take diverse, large groups of people and govern them at scale is through basically technological tyranny.
01:46:24.000Myself with others governing ourselves.
01:46:26.000So I see like a mesh network where everyone has their own social network that's connected to every other network, and everyone has their own cryptocurrency tracked with their person that they can pay people for, and people can buy things from them with discounts.
01:46:39.000They use their own crypto, so it gives your inherent crypto value if you do things.
01:46:43.000And then you can decide the rules and regulations of your own network.
01:46:46.000People can still access your network from their system where they have their own rules.
01:46:50.000And if they want to ban your stuff from their network, they can, but they can't ban you.
01:46:54.000You have full control of your own network.
01:46:56.000So it's kind of like Like techno, techno republic.
01:47:03.000It wouldn't, it doesn't have to be top down.
01:47:05.000You're talking about patchwork, actually.
01:47:07.000So there's a, I don't want to sidetrack everybody on this, but Curtis Yarvin, you might have heard about him.
01:47:14.000He talked about patchwork a long time ago, which is basically like this quasi authoritarian, quasi libertarian synthesis of understandings where you have these microstates and each one of them is governed by someone with absolute power, but they're all competing against each other.
01:47:47.000Your only option is moving from one patch to the other.
01:47:49.000And this allows you to kind of basically choose what forms of government and let them compete against each other for people who are ultimately going to be most valuable by producing the best systems while still having like this high degree of autonomy.
01:48:02.000Again, none of the incentives that like destroy democracies by like handing out a bunch of stuff and getting power through votes.
01:48:07.000Yeah, I like that because your vote is where you go.
01:48:09.000What you decide to do with your time is your vote.
01:48:11.000And then it would create a market of terms of service.
01:48:16.000Whoever has the best terms of service, that's where the people will go.
01:48:19.000Think of a thousand Singapores where, like, yeah, hyper capitalists, a lot of people want to live there.
01:48:24.000But also, if you spit gum on the sidewalk, they're going to cane you.0.86
01:48:27.000And if you bring weed into the country, they're going to kill you.0.77
01:48:54.000But we're going to grab your Rumble Rants over now.
01:48:57.000We got Josh, 2371, says Have you heard of the quartering flagging people's videos, mislabeling coffee, violating FDA guidelines, and Hannah Clare quitting on them?
01:49:21.000HS Disturbed says Freaking shiny hunters hacked Canvas, and I'm freaking out because my daughter is finishing high school through a school that uses them.
01:49:27.000She's freshly 18 and I don't know what to do.
01:51:57.000I mean, that one woman was going to hook it up with a dolphin, so I don't know.
01:52:00.000What was the deal with the kamikaze dolphins?
01:52:02.000Oh, apparently we have the best kamikaze dolphins in the world, and Iran definitely doesn't have them, according to Pete Hegsef, I think.1.00
01:54:16.000They keep bringing up my favorite game since '93, Civilization, which both of my sons play now, and Plague Inc. that I play every now and again to this day.
01:54:22.000Civilization, except for the, like, I don't know what.
01:55:19.000Yeah, cultural cohesion where they're all into what you believe, like the American way of life or the religious victory, or you get to Alpha Centauri first, basically, and populate another star system.
01:58:38.000You better believe that the king is going to try and control that next, his, his, Successor, no matter what.
01:58:44.000So that's the danger of having a guy in power for 30 years.
01:58:46.000Unlike our current system where Barack Obama definitely would not have influenced an entire presidency to which he could have not been elected, right?
01:58:53.000Yeah, it'd be crazy if he supported Biden or something.
01:59:35.000There's always that subtle hint if you walk into a liquor store where all the Hennessy bottles have the the theft control device on them and all the $200 scosh bottles don't.
02:01:05.000That's because people in LA are dumb.0.99
02:01:06.000But I mean, you look at Spencer Pratt and you see him talk and you listen to what he's saying and stuff, and you're like, no, he should be mayor of my town.0.99
02:02:18.000And then they think these creatures must have been what destroyed all of human civilization.
02:02:23.000And so then you get drama for like a season where they encounter these beings, these creatures.
02:02:29.000Then one day they're like at a junkyard and they get into a firefight and the humans are trapped and they're like, we can't get out.
02:02:35.000And then so then one guy hits a button and then like the big magnet lift drops a car and crushes one of these things.
02:02:40.000And the rest of them all just like float away.
02:02:42.000And then when they go up and they rip the helmet off, it's a human head with no hair.
02:02:46.000And they're like, oh my God, they're humans.
02:02:49.000And then the twist at the end is that it turns out civilization never collapsed.
02:02:53.000Humans just moved into pods underground where they live in pods in virtual reality 100, 200 years ago.
02:03:00.000And the humans that remain were the people who lived outside of cities, they lived in rural areas, they never integrated.
02:03:07.000And the reason why they can't figure out what happened is because all of the newspapers stopped at a certain date, all of the servers stopped producing data, stopped displaying websites at a certain date.
02:03:16.000It slowly just trickles out because the news is now in their networked environment, not outside.
02:03:24.000For instance, if Benjamin Franklin was alive today, he'd say, I must figure out what's happening in this world.
02:03:34.000So if, let's say, the time froze and, you know, George Washington appeared here and everyone was frozen in time, he'd be looking for a newspaper to try and figure out what was going on, but there's limited information.
02:03:45.000And that's what's basically the story.
02:03:47.000And then, you know, the season two is.
02:03:49.000They plug themselves into the matrix, and then there's interactions between human civilization and the pods.
02:03:55.000The reason the beings came up out of ground is because periodically they have to maintain the servers and the power structures.
02:03:59.000I like that a lot because I think about preserving data.
02:04:02.000That's really the essence of evolution.
02:04:05.000Sorry, but let's save it for the uncensored because we're over.
02:04:08.000Smash the like button, share the show, uncensored portion, rumble.com slash Timcast IRL.
02:04:13.000Follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.
02:04:15.000Arn, do you want to shout anything out?
02:07:34.000I can understand someone sitting around watching, like, Attack on Titan, and you walk in and you're like, what the fuck are you watching?0.94
02:07:39.000It's like, okay, well, these things are gigantic monsters, and that giant naked lady, and that guy's got cables he's shooting from his legs so he can swing around the city, but he's got to use the sword only in the neck.0.94
02:07:47.000I'd be like, well, nothing was explained.
02:09:14.000Yeah, back in the day when I lived in Brooklyn, Adam had a big poker table, and then we'd sit there, they put the game on, and we'd play just three hour Magic the Gathering sessions, order pizza.
02:10:09.000With Warcraft started, we would just sit in the same room, me and Eric, my roommate in Chicago, we'd sit in the same room on each of our computers playing together.
02:10:16.000But it was like that was where the divergence began.
02:10:18.000And then I moved, and I didn't see him anymore, so we'd have to play online.
02:10:21.000Yeah, I remember when you had Halo 1 and you had to do a LAN party by physically getting four Xboxes in the same area and four people playing on each one.
02:10:30.000And now that they've made the entire experience preferential to you playing alone online with other people, just no one ever wants to ask you that.
02:10:38.000I remember my son, he likes to play video games and he plays with his friends and they play online or whatever.
02:10:42.000But it used to be that his friends would come over.
02:10:44.000When we lived in Brooklyn, his friends would come over and they'd all bring their controllers and they'd all play something.
02:10:50.000Now they just all sit on Discord and watch it.
02:10:52.000And now they all have to sit on Discord.
02:12:18.000I mean, a great community bonding experience.
02:12:19.000It is a little culty because it's like their little insulated community.
02:12:23.000You know, the one thing that I am jealous for regular people over is that no longer can I troll regular people because people know who I am and they know my opinions.
02:12:33.000But, like, back in the day, I could walk down the street and I'd be talking to someone, and I could just claim to have whatever opinion I wanted if they said something retarded.0.97
02:12:39.000If they were like, Barack Obama's gonna get us out of the war in Afghanistan, I could just be like, well, Barack Obama, I could just say things to argue with them.0.95
02:12:47.000But now everybody knows my opinion, so it's just like, yeah, no, you get it.
02:12:50.000I know you're forced to stick by who you are.
02:13:17.000The guys who marry pillows is it because they're inbred?
02:13:19.000I don't think it's because we bombed them.
02:13:23.000It's like, like how Godzilla is just a metaphor for them working out their anxiety over nuclear warfare.
02:13:29.000I think it's oh, it resembles the nuclear bomb, and it's actually Gojira, but because people couldn't understand the Japanese accent and they're going, Gojira.
02:13:38.000Godzilla, they're like, are you saying Godzilla?
02:14:26.000Well, I mean, you guys are talking about Hantavirus.
02:14:29.000You got Hantavirus in the thumbnail, but I don't think you're really grasping it.
02:14:35.000You're not giving everybody the full Hantavirus thing, you know.
02:14:39.000So, I mean, the Hantavirus cruise ship, whatever you want to call it, I can't remember the name of it, it literally stopped at a landfill.1.00
02:14:48.000Yeah, the Birdwatchers went to go to a dump.
02:15:38.000But, you know, when we first discovered that shit, it was in the early 50s, and it was 3,000 UN soldiers, mostly US guys, that caught it.0.99
02:15:52.000I mean, in the X Files, it was Mulder's dad that was working on that shit.0.97
02:15:58.000And there was another episode where Scully catches it because it was some, I don't remember what the deal was, but she like starts to freak out and bleed from the nose because she thinks she's got the Hanta virus.0.97
02:18:14.000I remember the first time I went out there, I had people saying that, you know, there were no hierarchies and freaking wolf packs and a bunch of all kinds of weird stuff.
02:21:59.000So, assuming there is intelligent alien life, you can then start to look at the mediums for which we understand.
02:22:06.000Again, all based on human understanding, which is limited, but based on our understanding, water is a principal medium by which information can be exchanged.
02:22:13.000So, they're going to be likely water based.
02:22:14.000That's why we think if there's water, there's life.
02:22:17.000If they're intelligent beings from a water planet, they're not going to be able to leave that planet or communicate, so we'll never experience that.
02:22:23.000You can't build rockets, you can't refine elements or compounds, you can't do any of that.
02:22:28.000They would actually have to come from a relatively comparably sized planet for propulsion to work for fuel propellants like we have.
02:22:36.000They would have to have something to manipulate, they'd have to have digits of some sort to manipulate small objects, and they would have to come from a balanced oxygen environment.
02:22:47.000To be able to create fire, which is the basis for which we can separate elements and create technology.
02:22:51.000So they would actually be remarkably similar.
02:22:55.000If Trump was like, the aliens are here among us, they're inside of us, and if you smoke DMT, you can communicate with the aliens, I would believe him.
02:23:04.000If he said that, I'd be like, oh, now the government actually knows about the aliens.
02:23:07.000No, then I would assume they're actually demons.
02:23:50.000I mean, he would certainly lose his clearance, but any congressman could absolutely divulge everything they heard in a skiff on the House floor.
02:23:58.000It's a criminal act, but of course they could, yes.
02:27:07.000So it's fun for me that the Hantavirus is in the news because I actually am a Hantavirus survivor, and I'll be happy to talk about it during the after show.
02:27:18.000And then, if I'm going to plug anything, my dear, dear friend, Adam Johnson, the lectern guy, you should go donate to his campaign at voteadamjohnson.com.
02:27:27.000And I think everyone who watches your show is familiar with him.
02:27:30.000And then, other than that, you can follow me on Twitter.
02:27:33.000I'm Angry Fat White Guy, white spelled YT.0.53
02:28:10.000Yeah, if you have a follow up, let Oren answer that and then go in with your next adjunct.
02:28:18.000I think it's possible if you're willing to.
02:28:21.000Strip the system down and rebuild it from the ground up.
02:28:23.000I don't think the idea that you're going to like legislate teachers or college professors into teaching something specific is ever going to work.
02:28:32.000They'll always find a way around it, they'll always subvert the system.
02:28:36.000So I think you would need to have the, you know, just stones to go in there and basically rip this thing out and root and branch and then build up new faculties, build up new systems.
02:28:47.000That's the only way you'd actually get control of it.
02:28:49.000If you're just trying to do this piecemeal thing, it's not going to work.
02:29:04.000We need to understand that a lot of people say, oh, conservatives don't go to college, don't do this, don't do that.
02:29:11.000The problem is elites actually drive political outcomes.
02:29:15.000So if you don't have conservative lawyers, doctors, people in powerful positions, then that doesn't work.
02:29:22.000Plumbers are awesome, plumbers are great, but they're never going to get you a Supreme Court ruling.
02:29:26.000On the other side of that, like you should build these parallel systems because if you don't have anything to replace the corrupt stuff we already have, then once you disassemble it, it doesn't work.
02:29:37.000You need some level of entryism in the current system, and then you need to develop parallel systems simultaneously so there's something to switch over to.
02:29:43.000Do you think it's reasonable to utilize AI as like a schooling tactic?
02:29:48.000I think AI is a phenomenal way to ensure that no one ever learns anything ever again.
02:29:55.000When I was teaching kids, Treated Google basically as already like this magic eight ball that told them everything.
02:30:01.000That was their entire epistemological understanding.
02:30:04.000And when you just turn all of your thinking over to AI, what you're actually doing is turning it over to whoever makes AI, which is what Frank Herbert said in Dune, anyway.
02:30:14.000I found if you ask the right questions, AI can be a good teacher.
02:30:19.000AI, of course, can summarize things for you and that kind of thing.
02:30:23.000But if you've ever actually asked AI things, it lies to you all the time.
02:30:26.000And if you don't know about the subject you're asking about, you're just learning the lies.
02:30:31.000So basically, you already need to have a high degree of knowledge in an area to truly utilize the aggregating ability of AI.
02:30:40.000They just see whatever it puts in front of them and they say, oh, that's it.
02:30:43.000And in the schooling system, it's vetted because you could do the same thing, could happen at a school where the teachers just tell you the wrong information and you believe it.
02:31:56.000AI is already a cataclysm for education at scale because teachers relied on like, you know, these systems of grade scans and automated tests and everything else.
02:32:07.000And all the kids are just using AI to like write all their essays and cheat on all their stuff.
02:32:10.000And the teachers are using AI to figure out.
02:32:32.000We're going to sell ourselves slavery to these models by telling them they free us from our previous systems, which they absolutely do not.
02:32:41.000And the thing, too, is the people that were programming the AI.
02:32:44.000Like, they are the ones, they all came through these same completely corrupt institutions and have these bogus ideas because they didn't actually learn anything other than how to code.
02:32:54.000At some point, you actually just have to go with human virtue.
02:32:57.000And since we built our entire system to avoid faulty systems of human virtue, we basically have closed ourselves up from all actual natural organic ways to solve this problem.
02:33:08.000So, when you say it's a problem of scale, you're indicating that putting 100 people in a classroom and giving them one teacher is like a.
02:33:15.000If a parent is educating their child and using AI as an assistant, that would be a better use.
02:33:19.000In fact, you're hitting a position where, unless you get like one to one or one to like maybe four monitoring, education is going to basically become impossible.
02:33:43.000The way that you used to handle scale was.
02:33:45.000Passing the responsibility between different responsible virtuous actors inside your society, and instead, what we tried to do was automate it.
02:33:53.000And as soon as we did that, we lost control of the human element.
02:33:56.000And therefore, we opened ourselves up to all of the issues that we consistently run into when we're attempting to deal with scale.
02:36:44.000Just one question, but considering the whole Hanta virus, and it's actually endemic from my country, and usually these cases every year.
02:36:52.000Wait, wait, wait, let me slow it so because of your accent, your audio clipped and the accent was a little thick, so I had a hard time understanding.
02:36:59.000But say that again Hansa's from your home country?
02:37:26.000So, considering that people, there is the old motto of don't let a good crisis go to waste, how do you think it will play in the next election and what is the probability they will begin to blow it up out of the proportions or the election cycle?
02:37:41.000I mean, immediately, day one, I saw someone at Polymarket, somebody tweeted out that they're now looking into a vaccine for Hantavirus.
02:39:51.000People would probably self-quarantine themselves.
02:39:55.000Well, that was the fascinating thing about COVID: people treated it like that's what was happening because they weren't allowed to go outside.
02:40:02.000So they couldn't make contact with what was really going on.
02:40:06.000So people treated it as if it would instantly kill you the minute it got out there.
02:40:09.000You'd catch it, and then you walked outside, and they had that level of deception.
02:40:14.000But people were really dropping dead at that rate in the street.
02:40:16.000But we also kept getting those videos from China that everyone showed people, like, presumably dropping dead.
