00:02:53.000James Taylorico, of course, there's this whole controversy going on about how, strangely, Jasmine Crockett's accusing the Republicans of cheating, even though she got cheated by the Democrats and Colbert, which is weird.
00:03:04.000But the big news we're all excited for is that Brandon Herrera has won in Texas' 23rd district, beating out Tony Gonzalez.

00:06:40.000Anyway, smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, subscribe to this channel.
00:06:45.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we got Adam Salinas.
00:07:10.000And when I had all of these individuals that I had met over the years started to ask me certain questions about some of the propositions that were coming into law in the state of California, instead of answering the same question 20, 30, 40 different times, I started doing a post about it.
00:08:11.000Alex Stein, yeah, it says this is actually guaranteed to spice things up in the bedroom, but also there's a caveat that is not guaranteed to spice things up in the bedroom.
00:08:18.000I'll say there's a little tension in the table right now because you're sipping on that.
00:08:56.000Here's a story from non-stop local tri-cities Yakima because it was the only outlet that I could find that actually centered the story around the winner of the race, Brandon Herrera.
00:09:08.000It says Republican Brandon Herrera advances to primary runoff election in Texas's 23rd congressional district, for which there is a single sentence which says Republican Brandon Herrera advances to primary runoff in election in Texas' 23rd congressional district.
00:09:21.000See, the reason I opted for this non-stop local tri-cities Yakima NBC page is because literally every other outlet they title their stories like Gonzalez heads to runoff amid allegations of affair with aid in a tight primary race with conservative challenger Brandon Herrera.
00:09:41.000I would argue indeed it is not a tight race as Brendan Herrera won handily.
00:09:47.000However, in we got to scroll down here on this website.
00:09:50.000In Texas, you've got to get at least 50%.
00:10:41.000You're going to get more people saying Brandon Herrera, he's a big YouTuber.
00:10:44.000So that's why it irks me when he wins, he's more famous, and then you see all the media act like he doesn't matter because these people don't want to give air or space to anyone who would challenge that machine.
00:10:57.000So, outside of that, we got a lot to talk about because Jasmine Crockett got fired and Dan Crenshaw got fired as well.
00:11:38.000I think that the MAGA base kind of looks at him and says, No, he's just a boilerplate swamp creature, and we want to get him out and get someone else in.
00:11:46.000Yeah, I mean, Crenshaw is literally the worst.
00:12:00.000Well, he had a lot of, you know, there were a lot of people that were looking to give him a chance when he first got in because he's a former Navy SEAL, you know, because of his pedigree and stuff.
00:12:08.000And, and he just totally wasted it and totally blew it.
00:12:12.000Yeah, the GOP was a lot softer when he came in, too.
00:12:16.000And then he just like ended up being this really like catty, vindictive guy.
00:12:19.000Like, I don't even know how much of it really was his politics more so than it was just his personality.
00:12:25.000It was just like he would crash out all the time.
00:12:27.000He was literally like a gay guy, the way he behaved.
00:13:30.000You know, to where not every great individual with a great pedigree is meant for leadership.
00:13:36.000You know, they were great in their field, but when they transitioned to this place of power, you're trying to vote for anything and everything that opposes that other party, even if it's far right.
00:13:47.000And far right in the moment seemed like the perfect answer.
00:13:50.000But then as years went on and that class begins to diminish over the years, now you realize like, oh, shoot, this probably wasn't the right guy to run things, you know, regardless of how many consecutive turns he was doing.
00:14:02.000I think it's about time that Republicans are seeing, you know what?
00:14:05.000It's not, it's not about having that far left, far right narrative.
00:14:09.000It's about finding where conservatives were supposed to be the entire time.
00:14:25.000Maybe, maybe there was like a deep state guy who somehow got access to Crenshaw's browser history and like knocks on his door and says, Mr. Crenshaw, and he's like, hey, man, I'm not going to listen to you, deep state guys.
00:14:37.000And he's like, here's a list of your browser history.
00:14:38.000He says, I will say anything you want.
00:14:42.000Someone was going to tell people what's actually behind the patch.
00:14:45.000Yeah, I think he's just like a ladder climber.
00:14:47.000Because I remember when he first came in, everyone's like getting all hyped.
00:14:50.000They were just going back to what he, his statements were on the initial Trump run, and he was like pearl clutching over Trump's like comments on Muslims.
00:15:28.000This is a light taste of what's to come this year with the midterm elections.
00:15:32.000And you know, it's going to get real spicy towards the end of summer because the Democrats came out in force.
00:15:37.000The turnout was very, very good for Democrats.
00:15:39.000Republicans were down by like what 20%.
00:15:42.000So a lot of Republicans are sounding the alarm saying, guys, if we can't get turnout, especially when you're trying to get like Ken Paxton to win to beat Cornyn and Herrera to beat Gonzalez, I mean, come on.
00:15:52.000Like these, these elections very, very much mattered.
00:15:56.000And although I would say it turned out very well on the Republican side, the turnout was relatively low.
00:16:02.000So end of summer, Democrats are going to be coming out screaming and bashing their faces against the table that the apocalypse is happening.
00:16:09.000You know, so we've got in our newsroom, we're running that channel where it's like, it's not, it's not a channel, it's four channels at once.
00:16:17.000So you can see, I guess, what do they have pulled up?
00:16:20.000Like the top left is some sport channel.
00:16:22.000I don't know you guys watch football or something.
00:16:23.000But then you got Fox, MS Now, and CNN.
00:16:26.000And it was absolutely hilarious before the show started.
00:16:30.000MS Now's Chiron was Heg Seth says like talking about dead troops makes Trump look bad or something like this, which is like he definitely didn't say.
00:16:40.000And then Fox was like, Democrats endorse murder or something.
00:18:12.000Well, you also get, you're going to get this negative feedback loop because like I don't like the inside baseball for how political media works is really the summer before the election cycle is when the money starts flooding in.
00:18:21.000So you're going to get a negative feedback loop where some money starts coming in.
00:18:25.000MS Now starts saying like, hey, if we don't win this election, it's all over.
00:18:28.000All these donors are going to freak out and start pouring more and more money in.
00:18:31.000So this is going to be like the most expensive midterm cycle, not just on the election side, but in the media side as well.
00:18:36.000Do you think that the big donors are going to give money to the people that are, you know, that are essentially calling all rich people the evil?
00:18:43.000And you think they're still going to open up their pocketbooks, books for that?
00:18:46.000Well, because they'd think they're the exception.
00:18:47.000Well, wasn't Bernie Sanders' campaigns mostly funded by small donors and stuff?
00:19:02.000It was mostly like working class, middle class people.
00:19:04.000And the Herrera-Gonzalez race is another example where Herrera was mostly, actually, I think it was entirely small donors.
00:19:10.000And then Gonzalez was like all institutional.
00:19:11.000But this is the thing that sucks is the reason that Gonzalez was so close because he's like literally has the most skeletons in his claws that we can look right at him in the eyes is because the cash on hand he had was still far far surpassed Herrera.
00:19:23.000So it's like we're still playing in the old school game.
00:19:25.000The point that I'm making is the people that are running for Congress, the energy is with the left now, is really on the far left.
00:19:32.000And they've made it clear that they look at wealthy people as the enemy.
00:19:35.000I just wonder if wealthy people that generally write the big checks to PACs and stuff, I wonder if they're going to open their pocketbooks when people like Bernie Sanders and RoConna are talking about wealth taxes or taxes on your property.
00:19:48.000Right now, people have already started to leave California just because that is on the ballot.
00:19:53.000It seems like it's a popular ballot measure and it might pass.
00:19:57.000But at the same time, when the wealthy people are like, yo, we can't do this.
00:20:03.000Are they really going to write checks for people that are going to be able to do that?
00:20:05.000I think they're going to continue to write those checks because it's all a part of the grand scheme of things.
00:20:10.000Because they'll end up with someone like Mamdani in New York and will continue to fund this whole spiel.
00:20:17.000Right now, they're using this as bait that we got to tax the rich, we got to tax the rich.
00:20:22.000Those rich donors that are donating to those Democratic parties are going to continue to do this because their next candidate is going to run on that whole phase of tax the rich, and it's going to happen like every single other time, the trickle effect.
00:20:42.000To Tim's point, like, this sounds so cliche at this point, but TDS really does trump everything else because you have to think for these billionaires, they legitimately think Trump is going to exterminate the United States as it stands.
00:21:12.000All of a sudden, he's like, you know, Trump is committing like a war crime here.
00:21:15.000And like, he's actually not following the rule of international law.
00:21:18.000So it's like, every single one of these people, their lifelong dream, they will over the Trump hatred will overcome that every single time.
00:21:38.000We got this from CBS News, House Ethics Committee to investigate rep Tony Gonzalez over allegations of affair with aide who died by suicide.
00:21:48.000For those who are not familiar, this is the guy that Brandon Herrera is running against.
00:21:51.000He cheated on his wife with a woman who then killed herself.
00:21:55.000And, you know, I'm going to say this: there are details about the story everybody in the Beltway knows.
00:22:04.000And so we hear all these rumors, which for which, you know, I can address a little bit.
00:22:08.000And I'm careful because I don't know what exactly is true, but everybody's got a similar story.
00:22:13.000However, I will stress: there are some people who think it wasn't suicide.
00:22:17.000And I'm going to go ahead and say that at least the conversation in the Beltway and what we know from the press is that the staffer who died did die by suicide.
00:22:27.000That being said, I don't know exactly, and I want to stress this: there are some people that think it's more nefarious, as it were, in that Tony Gonzalez, the implication they're trying to make.
00:22:37.000We see some of these rumors running is that he's going to lose his election if it comes out that's having an affair.
00:22:43.000The woman he's having an affair with is then found immolated.
00:22:46.000She says, her dying breath, I don't want to die.
00:22:49.000And people immediately take that as somebody tried to silence her.
00:22:56.000She committed suicide by lighting herself on fire.
00:22:58.000When she was found heavily burned and pleading for water, her last words were, I don't want to die.
00:23:03.000100% of those who attempt to commit suicide but somehow miraculous survived, usually they jumped off a bridge or tried to overdose, have reported regretting it.
00:23:13.000It says, Santos Avil was regional district director for Rep Gonzalez, a Republican representing Texas 23rd District.
00:23:20.000She joined his staff in November of 2021.
00:23:22.000Her mother, Nora Ann Gonzalez, previously told the San Antonio Express News that her daughter was upset on the night of September 13th because her eight-year-old son was spending the weekend with his father.
00:23:31.000Santos Aviles, Avil's favorite pronouns, and her husband had separated and were sharing parental responsibilities.
00:23:36.000Her mother said, sensing her daughter's distress, Gonzalez said she went to the home that night to find Santos Avilas burned and pleading for water.
00:23:45.000The last thing she said is, I don't want to die.
00:23:47.000So when this story came out, tons of people were saying, it kind of sounds like somebody was killed, that somebody was lit on fire.
00:23:57.000And what I will say is this: the story that's been circulating in the Beltway is that she calls him on the phone, threatening to kill herself unless he drops everything and comes to see her.
00:24:10.000And he's like, get out of here, crazy lady.
00:24:13.000So on the phone, she dumps fuel on herself and then screams, I'll do it, I'll do it.
00:24:20.000And again, I don't know that any of this is true.
00:24:22.000These are just rumors that are circulating.
00:24:24.000And then here's the thing people need to understand: okay, they think that in order to light fuel, you have to press flame to the fuel.
00:25:37.000You'd think there'd be a criminal investigation if it was anything.
00:25:39.000I covered it when it happened on my morning show.
00:25:41.000Yeah, I remember Tony Ortiz was covering it pretty heavily as well.
00:25:45.000I literally had that, not this literal situation, but I dated a girl for a long time and she threatened to kill herself.
00:25:51.000I was like, it just got to the point where the threats, I stopped coming home to try and placate the woman because if you're going to do it, do it.
00:25:57.000I can't stop you and I'm not going to shut down my life for you.
00:26:00.000And so I empathize if that's what this guy was going to do.
00:26:42.000I mean, I've met multiple individuals throughout my life, especially when I used to travel for ministry and stuff.
00:26:47.000Individuals that literally tried to commit suicide, try to take their own life away.
00:26:53.000And every single one of them had said the exact same thing, whether it was jumping a bridge, whether it was an individual that I knew that tried to light themselves on fire.
00:27:01.000And thankfully people got there in time.
00:27:03.000Those situations, nobody in the heat of the moment, when the act is actually coming about, nobody is thinking, yes, it's finally happening.
00:27:10.000Of course, anybody would think about saying, I don't want to die in the heat of the moment.
00:27:15.000But for people to not have any valid foundation to what these allegations are coming, as long as it's not being checked by reality, as long as these individuals aren't actually bringing factual evidence, I think it's just going to be almost a monopoly play for any Democrat.
00:27:31.000I want to stress too, because we've got a super chat from ex-IFA.
00:28:16.000If you are going to be voting for someone, the moment that they decide to go public or to carry any type of office or seat, the public is required to know who they're voting for.
00:28:26.000Because if they don't, then anyone could just step up to those positions.
00:28:29.000If you don't want your life to be put on the spotlight, not only the good things, but even mistress type of things, then don't sign up for that type of job.
00:28:38.000It's like, you know, if you have like some skeletons, like, I don't know, you know, some people, it's like, okay, you had like this embezzlement issue or like, hey, I got fired from a job.
00:31:52.000I think if you just don't instinctually know that like you probably shouldn't antagonize a guy that has a firearm, then it's like you're cooked.
00:32:55.000I think it's because the worldview of the Democrats is that they only exist to call Republicans evil.
00:33:03.000And so there is no narrative thread for which she could pull to say Democrats cheat elections.
00:33:10.000I mean, I think it's embarrassing because for someone who jokingly criticized Donald Trump for using that card, she used it now.
00:33:18.000We just seen a few moments ago how the amount of Republicans that went into the voting polls were a lot less this time around.
00:33:25.000And she's somehow mad at the individuals that didn't vote for her in the first place, Republicans, instead of the Democrats who did not choose to vote for her.
00:33:37.000Stephen Colbert staged a hoax where James Tellarico, listen, I want to stress this.
00:33:43.000James Tallarico engaged in a hoax with Stephen Colbert.
00:33:47.000Tallerico tweeted out, this is the interview Trump didn't want you to see.
00:33:52.000And they framed it as though he was the only candidate and that he was already the primary winner.
00:33:58.000Colbert and Tellerico framed the interview on the show as if Trump was trying to make sure that Paxton or Cornyn would get an opportunity to go on Colbert.
00:34:11.000That if you're going to have a Democrat, the Republicans should be allowed.
00:35:01.000Fred has already stated, we encourage each and every one of you to remain resilient.
00:35:08.000We cannot allow this type of behavior to be rewarded because so long as they know that they can win, even if it means cheating, then they will continue to do it.
00:35:19.000Well, is she talking about Democrats there?
00:35:21.000Because they're the ones that cheated.
00:35:23.000My question, are you going to go to the Bernie Sanders route, Jasmine?
00:35:25.000Are you going to now kowtow and just, you know, wipe your tears?
00:35:57.000And the Democratic Party is like, We got to get this guy front and center so he can actually beat, he can trick moderates into voting for him like moderate Christians.
00:36:04.000Jasmine Crockett, I think, is a bad person.
00:36:12.000Okay, first, let me just say part of me is laughing because of how funny this is to see these scumbags kind of just eating each other alive.
00:36:19.000At the same time, I am rightly pissed off that this is how politics in our country is being run.
00:36:32.000I love how, like, the Texas Democrats are like, hmm, the reason the state's really slipping away from us is because Hispanic voters are really flipping over to the Republican Party.
00:37:07.000Well, that's that's kind of why some of the individuals that love Jasmine Crockett, I don't know if you guys watched the video, where they are coming, they came out in the news saying that they loved her so much, but they couldn't vote for her because they did not believe she could win.
00:37:20.000So, how do you love someone so much, campaign behind them, and do all of this stuff, and yet at the end of the day, switch it up and vote for the polar opposite of her?
00:37:30.000And if your worldview is moderate Democrats suck, but Republicans are pure evil demons, you will vote for a sock over a Republican.
00:37:39.000So, the attitude they this is the Democrat establishment plan: Tallarico masquerades as a Christian.
00:37:44.000He, uh, there's a there's there's viral clips of him where he, he, I mean, some of the most, I'm not even, I'm not a Christian, but holy crap, some of the most shockingly offensive, blasphemous, blasphemous sophistry I've seen.
00:37:56.000There's one viral clip where I'm again, assuming it's real, but I think it's from Rogan, where he argues that about Mary.
00:38:03.000About Mary, the Immaculate Conception was the angels saying you can abort the baby Jesus right now if you want.
00:38:11.000Never, not real, not once did that happen.
00:41:13.000I can, you know, there's a handful of, Massey is going to get the direct shout out, but there's a handful of Republicans we've had in the show that we're friends with.
00:41:20.000And then we know there's the establishment, bad Republicans, and we call them out.
00:41:23.000But it's just sometimes because usually the problem with Republicans is they don't do anything.
00:41:31.000And so our biggest complaint is they won't do it.
00:41:33.000Democrats, on the other hand, do things like this.
00:41:37.000Just abject deceit to steal political power.
00:41:41.000Bernie Sanders putting out his tweet earlier, where, or I don't know if it was today or yesterday, where he's like, I'm going to charge the billionaires 5%.
00:41:48.000And then Jeff Bezos will unfortunately only have $224 billion to survive on.
00:41:53.000And you know, Bernie Sanders is lying.
00:41:55.000You know for a fact, if you're in politics, Bernie Sanders understands, and so does Elizabeth Warden, exactly why the proposal doesn't make sense.
00:42:05.000And for those of you who haven't heard the explanation on a wealth tax or who can't comprehend the function of the wealth tax and why it doesn't work, let me just describe it like this.
00:42:14.000For those of us that have been tracking politics and that track economic systems, Bernie Sanders may as well, Bernie Sanders may as well have said he is demanding the government seize the candy cane rainbow bridge from Jeff Bezos that he uses to get to the planet Nebulon.
00:42:32.000And you're going, that literally is a fake thing that makes no sense.
00:42:36.000But to all the people who are deeply concerned about the Care Bears and they don't know better, it sounds like Jeff Bezos is an evil person.
00:42:44.000Well, to common sense individuals, we know it's crazy.
00:42:48.000But to individuals that their entire life, their entire mindset is delusion, and that is that they only stick to what their side is saying.
00:42:56.000They're not looking or even considering what anybody else is saying.
00:42:59.000Anything and everything that comes out of the garbage to them is fine-dining.
00:44:17.000And, you know, I just, I'm going to stress: I am sick of the right, right?
00:44:21.000You get these hoity-toity dudes who whinge on the internet sitting there talking about all the problems, but all they do every day is they sit down at a desk and complain about what's going on in the world and they don't actually run for office.
00:44:33.000They complain about it and demand everybody else do it with their freaking beanies and their folded sleeve button ups telling everybody else what to do, but they won't do it themselves.
00:45:21.000If our ultimate goal when running for any type of political office is just to get the position, everyone that voted for you has just gotten set up to fail.
00:45:32.000This is why Brandon Herrera needs to win.
00:45:38.000Look, guys, I don't need a Republican Party that's going to storm in in full tactical gear, smashing their fists on the table, being like, insurrection act wrong and load up the trains.
00:48:10.000Because these are the kind of people that show up to your house and say your house belongs to me now.
00:48:14.000And the Republicans are the kind of people who go, well, I think Town Hall is going to hear about this, pack up their stuff and leave.
00:48:22.000Again, why the other day, with all due respect for the Iran war stuff, I said I love the masculinity of Trump because when Iran says to Trump, we've got enough material for 11 bombs.
00:48:35.000And then Trump goes, I'm going to kill you.
00:48:37.000Like, as much as I'm not a fan of getting involved in Iran the way we are, I have to just feel some kind of masculine catharsis to Trump saying, I will F you up.
00:48:49.000Well, what you're getting at is what separates Trump from like every other Republican is that Trump ultimately only responds to power.
00:48:55.000That's why he respects people with power.
00:48:57.000He disrespects people that don't have power.
00:48:59.000This is why like some people get frustrated that he doesn't have like a bromance with like Javier Millay or like have this bromance with Victor Orban.
00:49:29.000We can implement a lot of their policies.
00:49:31.000But let's not pretend like this is the most important thing in the world.
00:49:34.000The GOP just gets fixated on like my principles.
00:49:37.000And, you know, we can get this really fantastic housing act passed.
00:49:41.000That's literally what freaking John Thune, out of everything on the docket right now that matters, he prioritized the Housing Act to like help poor people buy it.
00:49:55.000You know, the Save Act could literally make or break every election going forward.
00:50:00.000I mean, the Trump, the wartime powers, the Democrats were trying to restrict his wartime powers.
00:50:05.000All of these pressing issues, DHS funding.
00:50:08.000And Jon Thune, he's like, I might get a glossy national review op-ed.
00:50:12.000So I think what I should do is I should prioritize getting this housing act right.
00:50:16.000It's just like gay, like gay, pacified Republicans that only care about their ego, that only care about their status, versus Trump, who's like, I just respond to power and I will return the favor.
00:50:34.000Well, Republicans have been like that for a long time.
00:50:36.000They want the approval of D.C. Like they just are dying for Washington, D.C. to invite them to the parties to make sure that they get a good seat at the correspondence dinner and stuff.
00:50:49.000Like those things are important to Republicans.
00:50:51.000It's all about they want the status and they don't care about actually doing the things that their constituency wants.
00:50:56.000And their constituency hates Washington.
00:51:00.000So what they have to do is things like Trump has done.
00:51:03.000Go in there and cut things and make changes that are going to be unpopular in D.C.
00:51:08.000And people, if you don't, D.C. will continue to consolidate power.
00:51:23.000And I think that the reason he's criticized so much, not just on the left, but we're starting to see that especially with what's going on in Iran now from the right, they're criticizing him not because of what he's doing, but because he actually did something.
00:51:38.000So to anybody else that is in the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, they are threatened not by his role, not because, oh, the e-files or whatever, anything like that.
00:51:47.000They are threatening, they're threatened by him because he can actually do things.
00:51:52.000He is not just going to make you all of these promises and then just, hey, you're paying me to be here.
00:52:01.000And as we continue to vote for Republicans or Democrats, stop looking at people and voting for people based off of the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, where they're coming from, if they're from the hood or they're from the higher ups.
00:52:15.000Focus on what they've accomplished prior to office, prior to running, because if their report is zero equals zero, those individuals don't need to be running for office and we shouldn't be voting for them.
00:52:27.000You know, you need individuals that are going to be able to actually follow through.
00:52:32.000And if they're following through in their past objectives and their past courses, then you would expect them to follow through here.
00:52:37.000You know, I got a question, and I'd like an honest answer to from you guys: is it better to have someone in power that's deceptive but an idiot or that's deceptive and brilliant?
00:52:47.000Well, this goes back to like if you speak to like a lot of South Africans, they'll tell you, I'd rather live under incompetent socialists than competent social democrats.
00:52:55.000So they say like, actually, when you live in a situation like South Africa, it does enable you to build projects.
00:53:00.000It enables you to kind of operate under the government's nose because they're horribly incompetent, even though they're like socialists, versus Europe living somewhere like Germany or Denmark.
00:53:10.000A lot of South Africans say that's not favorable.
00:53:12.000rather stay here because I don't want to live under all-encompassing competent social democracy because they're going to ensure that you can't even lay an egg before we come and take an inspection of it.
00:53:21.000Well, if you laid an egg tit, I'd be concerned.
00:53:23.000I'm not thinking anytime soon I'll lay any eggs, but you laid an eggs and chicken cooperation.
00:53:28.000The competency of the Trump admin's ability to deceive, like Trump was no new wars, and now, of course, new war.
00:53:35.000I think that it is, you know, it's definitely like, or Jasmine Crockett or this guy, this guy who will deceive Colbert and the world to get power.
00:53:44.000He and he deceived the world with Colbert.
00:53:47.000What I'm concerned about is like, because of the intelligence of the deceptive power of Trump and his administration, like, are they going to, what we're going to start seeing is deepfakes, like we talked about at the top of the show, and it's going to be deep fakes of Trump flying knee kicking a dog or whatever.
00:53:59.000And then are we going to see the Trump admin being like, look, misinformation actually is a big problem right now.
00:55:13.000The mood here has been tense, to say the least.
00:55:15.000However, it's appearing like some kind of resolution is on the horizon.
00:55:20.000The endless bombing campaigns from the Iranian regime have been put on pause since this news dropped.
00:55:27.000It's a story that is on par with the Israeli pager drama from two years ago, but this time a coordinated effort between the U.S. and Israel.
00:55:36.000I'm being told that these group chats had been infiltrated for months, and there was serious internal debate in the White House and Knesset about whether or not to release them as this would seriously violate international bro code and could potentially lead to retaliation against Israeli and American men.
00:55:55.000Dubbed Operation Epic Funny, these group chats, I'm told, include texts criticizing the weights of senior Iranian officials' wives, racist, and sexist memes that were not only not denounced but were thoroughly enjoyed, as well as numerous instances of Smash or Pass, where women's photos would be posted in the group chat, and Iranian officials would then comment on whether they would have sex with the women or not.
00:56:57.000But here's the best part: Danny tweeted at Grok, is International Bro code real?
00:57:03.000And it said, Yes, International Bro code is 100% real.
00:57:06.000That's why hacking the Ayatollah's group chat instantly forces ceasefire talks.
00:57:10.000No one wants the receipts dropping on who owes who a beer or skip the last summit.
00:57:15.000Bros, before geopolitical blows, what's the juiciest leap?
00:57:20.000So, the craziest thing is they had to community note Danny's obvious AI satire about how Iran was more embarrassed about their racist group chat.
00:57:30.000So, they were going to ceasefire as opposed to the actual war itself.
00:57:33.000Where he literally says, He has Trump say the group chat, all the killing, all the bombing, it doesn't compare to the racist memes.
00:57:52.000I think everybody flagged it as an AI gag right away, but there are still people who think it's real.
00:57:58.000And I got to stress this: I put out a tweet like two days ago or three days ago where I said, Is there even one reason why we shouldn't take over Iran or Canada for that matter or Mexico?
00:58:10.000And it's got like 6,000 responses from liberals who are like, You think you can take whatever you wish with me?
00:58:32.000I also think a large, there's a large probability that many of these people are foreigners.
00:58:37.000Because my hypothesis on this, the reason why many people have noticed that irony and sarcasm often is, you get a lot of response when people can't get it is because they're translating what you said.
00:58:49.000So, in English context, my joke: is there even one?
00:59:21.000I think a lot of times what will happen is kind of like if someone's on a battlefield, you know, you're all about sarcasm and joking, but if you see someone waving what looks like a gun at you and you're already in a panic fight or flight state, you can't really take it as a joke.
00:59:33.000And some of these people are so wound right now that they don't see jokes anywhere.
01:00:17.000Like Sam Cedar is a perfect example of basically like every time he does a video about me, he intentionally lies about the opinions I have.
01:00:24.000So a really great example is I was talking about, I think it was the, it might have been like the Minnesota shooting, and I said, the truth doesn't matter in this regard to the right or the left because the right is going to argue the left is evil and wronged us, and the left is going to argue the right is evil and wronged us.
01:00:40.000And what Sam does is he takes the quote, the truth doesn't matter, and then stops, and then says, see, Tim Poole's literally trying to tell his audience just to lie and be evil.
01:00:49.000He doesn't try to actually convey the information because he's a scumbag.
01:01:20.000They cannot have a normal conversation without it, without it being filtered through a text screen in their mind.
01:01:26.000They are able to put any emoji in their brain with anything that's written out there.
01:01:31.000So it's constantly being filtered through that garbage because of our failed system in 2020 and so on and so forth to where individuals lack the basic human ability to sit across from somebody and have a meaningful conversation without it being filtered through.
01:01:51.000I think that, you know, we talked about why Elon Musk bought X.
01:01:57.000And a lot of people tried to, they play it up like, oh, it's because Babylon B got banned and then he got offended.
01:02:02.000No, it's because he wanted access to what's called the fire hose, the stream of all the tweets from people to use as training data for an AI for Grok.
01:03:10.000So the issue is for a camera to identify text, you need a data set.
01:03:16.000So what they would do is, here's a list of words we know.
01:03:20.000And so they'd show you a picture of, you know, it would be like Shillali.
01:03:24.000And it would be like bent because it was scanned from a book.
01:03:28.000The computer already knows what that word is, and it's trying to test whether or not you are giving it accurate data, not whether or not you're a robot.
01:03:35.000It was actually not about if you're a robot, I mean it's an ancillary benefit.
01:03:38.000What it was trying to do is the second word we show you, we can't read, and we want a data set on, we want a trustworthy data set on what that word says.
01:03:49.000So basically what they were doing was scanning books.
01:03:52.000And if the computer said this word is unidentifiable, you'd log into a website, you'd see this thing asking you for a robot, and then you'd say, oh, it says Shillali doorknob.
01:04:06.000And the purpose of it was to say, if the first word is correct, they likely put in both correct words.
01:04:11.000So 4chan created an operation called re-N-word, but not n-word, the actual word.
01:04:17.000And they said to exploit the system, the first word is always the code.
01:04:22.000The second word can be anything you want it to be.
01:04:24.000So what happened was, and I'm pretty sure this actually was confirmed.
01:04:30.0004chan started going to every CAPTCHA and they would put in the first word and the second word they would put the n-word.
01:04:36.000And so what ended up happening was in some of these natural language processing sites, the N-word started popping up randomly in places where it shouldn't because the computers were being trained improperly because people were exploiting it.
01:05:09.000Without them knowing and without people getting paid to do it, they were decentralizing the labor.
01:05:14.000I believe that X is probably that training algorithm in all the same way.
01:05:20.000That is, I would not be surprised if they intentionally have Grok bots tweeting at people, posting at people, trying to generate replies because it trains the AI on these interactions.
01:06:24.000So you respond with, hey, dumbass, we're not at war with China, correcting the bot.
01:06:28.000It then takes that training data and then says, here's where we made a mistake.
01:06:32.000And I'm going to back this up once again with another bit of conjecture from this very show where several years ago I pointed out that there is something that I noticed on X where your account will be categorized and attacked by bots based on the perceived alignment that you have, which creates a problem for middle-of-the-road people.
01:06:52.000The example being, I was like, because like we're a fairly moderate show, and that means sometimes we're critical of Trump, but largely supportive of him, it's confusing for a bot that's operating under a political alignment binary.
01:07:06.000And so what ends up happening is there were numerous instances where I would make a tweet and I would say something like, I just absolutely, you know, Israel is a really great example.
01:07:15.000I would say something like, it is absolutely insane that we would be forced into a war because of Israel.
01:07:21.000It's about time we cut off, you know, we cut off funding to this country and support for them.
01:07:26.000However, because there was a general view, like after I met with Netanyahu or whatever, or because we're typically Israel ambivalent, my account gets categorized in the pro-Israel camp.
01:07:37.000So when I criticize Israel, I get blasted by comments that were attacking me for defending Israel.
01:07:45.000Literally made a post saying we should stop funding Israel.
01:07:47.000And all the replies were like, why should we fund Israel?
01:09:05.000I'm saying I believe there is a decent probability that Grok is actually, that there are probably Grok-powered bot accounts responding to all of us.
01:09:15.000And when we respond back, correcting them, we are training the AI to be more believable as a human.
01:09:22.000So why are people not like trying to file lawsuits against this for human labor?
01:09:43.000You can't sue me because I generate electricity off your weight.
01:09:46.000I think if you're benefiting from someone doing something without knowing that they're benefiting you, I think that would call for grounds for somebody to be like, absolutely nothing.
01:09:57.000Yeah, I'm thinking about handing the mail and be like, he dropped this off for me.
01:10:00.000And it's like, you make some money because they mail your check, but like can't really ask you for anything because they did it.
01:10:06.000And again, like, we're not even looking at something like that.
01:10:08.000That's different because they're asking you to do that.
01:10:28.000Or there are gyms where when you ride on the bikes, it actually spins a generator.
01:10:32.000And so there have been a handful of gyms that actually have the, all the bikes when people are riding are putting juice back into the grid.
01:10:41.000Did you see the AI video that says that will be the future?
01:10:44.000That's what all these people are going to be doing is exercising for electricity.
01:13:24.000Skin that bitch is what I was going to say.
01:13:26.000But I mean, make skins for the character model.
01:13:29.000Well, this is me and Amber Duke's thesis.
01:13:32.000This is why we came under so much ire for defending Karen's.
01:13:35.000But our proposal is like, okay, yeah, it is annoying, right?
01:13:37.000Karen, you know, when you think of the Karen Phoenix, there is an annoying person.
01:13:40.000But the problem is it's like safe edgy, where a lot of people just outsource every problem in like American public life to Karens.
01:13:48.000And if you're really being honest, how far up the ladder are, again, middle-aged white moms like an impediment to the functionality of American social life?
01:13:57.000Like, is that really think about who's disrupting the retail scene?
01:14:09.000They are, they are the there's the meme that I'd love to bring up where the man builds a fence around his house to protect his wife from wolves.
01:14:18.000And one day while the wife is out working, the wolf whispers, your husband built this fence to imprison you, tear down these walls and find freedom.
01:14:28.000The point is, Karen represents to me the uppity, pretentious, white, affluent female that has been so removed from the dangers of the real world that she just demands whatever she wants.
01:14:41.000I would agree if that was the like the working definition everyone has, but people just use Karen to like describe, again, like a white woman that just expects like basic standards like when she's out in public.
01:15:12.000So it's like, and then if, and if it's fine if I like got mad, but again, if like Amber Duke got mad, and I hate to sound like a lip tard, but it's like if Amber Duke got mad, look, that's, can you believe that Karen?
01:16:15.000No, it's just they expect like basic standards.
01:16:18.000And when Karen's, by extension, and when they're out of the way, it's going to be a total free-for-all.
01:16:22.000Karen is meant to represent an entitled woman.
01:16:27.000I think some people should be a little bit more entitled.
01:16:29.000Sure, but the point is people can't advocate for themselves.
01:16:32.000When you see a video that someone's accused of being a Karen, there are certainly some that are wrong where it's like she's falsely accused.
01:16:37.000But the general idea is like a woman comes in and she goes, why is there mayonnaise on my burger?
01:16:41.000And they're like, I'm really sorry about that.
01:16:47.000Like those are, I'm just saying it's expanded now to like any white person that gets like upset that they're being mistreated.
01:16:53.000That I don't like because I'll see sometimes women will get harassed in a park by a dude throwing food at her dog and then they get her reaction.
01:17:00.000The story was there was a black guy in Central Park that was trying to feed a woman's dog and she started screaming and she definitely overreacted and the media like they just went, white women, bad black men, just completely different than a girl walking into a Wendy's and being like you forgot my pickles.
01:17:18.000It's like when you think about again a shopping mall and you think about people freaking out in public, is it Karen's the primary person you think of or is it like the video Kangman Lee posted?
01:17:28.000That's why I'm saying we gotta make a typical Karen, we gotta make our own game.
01:17:33.000It's like having a long line at a store.
01:17:35.000A Karen is not the person that just got cut in line, that's been waiting there for 15 minutes.
01:17:39.000A Karen is the one that just showed up and starts yelling why nobody's attending to her, because she showed up and you're, you're you doing?
01:17:46.000What you're doing is an inconvenience to her, because she has this expectation that she hasn't informed you about.
01:17:52.000But she expects you to be informed and every time an expectation is set over you that does not appease to them, you get a Karen.
01:17:58.000Guys, I want to put, I want to, I want to add this video to the mix on this story, and I hate Instagram because they always mute it and you can't play it right from the beginning but I want to play this short like that too.
01:18:08.000Where men and women were hooked up to brain scanners as they watched people play a game, they got to see whether the people playing the game were playing fairly or whether they were cheating at the game.
01:18:18.000And the people playing were connected to electric shock machines, so electric shocks would go into these people as they were playing and they would measure the brains of the men and women watching.
01:18:28.000So every time a player that was playing fairly got an electric shock, both men and women's empathy centers lit up.
01:18:35.000Whenever an electric shock would go into a person that was cheating, women's empathy centers lit up, just the same as with the fair playing person, but men's empathy centers did not light up at all.
01:18:46.000Actually, their pleasure center lit up super key psychological distinction between men and women.
01:20:20.000The point is that the men are the ones who are going to go to the child and they're going to say no, and they're going to whap on the back side of the head.
01:20:27.000And then the mom goes, oh, baby, come here.
01:21:21.000I believe that through evolutionary biology and psychology, women are effectively one with the baby for a long period of time in a way that men are not.
01:21:34.000Men will throw themselves into a fire to save their kids and all that stuff.
01:21:38.000But I believe that women just have a stronger emotional drive towards their kids.
01:21:42.000So the emotional drive to throw yourself in front of the train to save your kid is outweighed by her emotional connection because she was with the child.
01:22:10.000For anybody who's walked down the street with their wife and their kids, certainly something I've only experienced in this past year, babies are celebrities to women.
01:22:18.000And I've explained this for a while about how cat calling is a phenomenon that affects both men and women of high status.
01:22:26.000The question is, what makes a woman high status?
01:22:28.000Well, unfortunately for the feminists, it is sexual attractiveness, which means a woman who is sexually attractive has high social market value.
01:22:52.000There's a dude who did a stunt where he went to Times Square and he walked out of a building and hired his friends or hired, but had his friends paparazzi him.
01:23:01.000And so they all swim around and start taking pictures.
01:23:03.000And he puts his hands up and he's going like this and he's wearing a jacket.
01:23:05.000And then he has a fake bodyguard go like this.
01:23:07.000Crowds swarmed around because they just wanted to see who it was.
01:23:11.000So my point is: like, women, for the most part, are getting cat called by guys because a woman will just be attractive and that's high social value.
01:23:21.000But most guys don't experience any kind of cat calling because they don't outwardly express any kind of high social status.
01:24:39.000I'm just saying I think it's evolutionary psychology and biology, and it should be patently obvious to every guy that guys like going out and fighting bears.
01:24:49.000You know, I mean that somewhat figuratively.
01:24:53.000It's fascinating the amount of social propaganda you needed to convince women not to have babies.
01:24:58.000And then it's funny because I see these videos online on Instagram all the time, and it's like these music is playing and it's the woman with her baby.
01:25:07.000There was one earlier where it was a woman who said she always wanted a nose job and now she's glad she never got it because her nose fits perfectly with her baby's forehead and she liked she like put her head to her baby's forehead.
01:25:17.000I'm like, yeah, guys don't make videos like that.
01:25:28.000It means obsessive love and their women do have obsessive love for their babies.
01:25:32.000My love would be formed as agape, love of the community, where if I see your kid, I'll be like, hey, kid, and then I immediately look around the room to make sure we're all safe because I love that kid and I want it to survive.
01:26:39.000Hypothetically, if more women are coming and they're being catcalled to your kid, if that same reaction was a man doing it, how would you take that?
01:26:50.000Okay, so like, again, the same because both are bad.
01:26:55.000So when a woman walks up and tries to touch, or in other words, like can I see the baby?
01:27:03.000And a guy doing the same thing, it's there are, there are ways that it can happen where we don't freak out, right?
01:27:07.000We're sitting at a restaurant and, you know, she's in a high chair, and then there's an old guy, and he looks over and he smiles and he waves, and then we laugh.
01:27:51.000I think that every time that men have tried to show that, it's been brought back to this mold that no, no, this is what so you're arguing the blank slate of baby love.
01:29:00.000So what I'm trying to say is you're setting up a woman and a man to something that they cannot do, even if they wanted to show that amount of emotion.
01:29:16.000Men, if you give them the right hormones.
01:29:18.000The point is, if you take a random man and a random woman and you put them in rooms and a baby in the other room, they can't see starts crying, women who are mothers will begin lactating and the men will probably just get annoyed.
01:30:12.000I don't, I don't, that's why that females.
01:30:14.000Bro, women, women have, have like baby crazy.
01:30:17.000It is a known thing that at a certain age, women experience a baby crazy that men do not.
01:30:22.000Women have deeply stronger emotions about babies than men do.
01:30:26.000This is just the literature across the board and common sense, like you experience it.
01:30:29.000Yeah, I mean, like, I mean, the obvious example, obviously, like, following a divorce is different, but out of wedlock, like 98% of children end up with the mother because the human beings are not aware of the money.
01:30:38.000And gender roles and social bias are derivative of the human experience.
01:30:42.000The reason why women typically weren't in the workplace is because the structure of human society, when humans were nomadic and in small villages, the men would go out and do dangerous things and the women would be protected because if the women die, you can't have any babies.
01:30:56.000If the men die, you only need one guy and you can have more babies, right?
01:31:00.000And so women can do what men can do, but typically don't need to.
01:31:03.000Men can't do what women do and need to protect the women.
01:31:06.000After a thousand years, women stay home, men go work.
01:31:11.000And then what happens is once you get to a point in society where you have a massive population explosion, which happens around the Industrial Revolution, the expansion of oil products and oil is energy, you have such a massive explosion of population that the stressors of population decline no longer factor in.
01:31:27.000Now you've got women who aren't feeling social pressures to get married and have kids.
01:31:32.000And this slowly starts shifting to an ever-increasing group of spinsters as a demographic, which results in the suffragettes, a large group of women, not all of them unmarried, but many of them.
01:31:43.000And then they're demanding rights to function in society without a husband.
01:31:47.000At a certain point, you concede, we got a lot of people that need to be able to live that don't have husbands.
01:31:53.000Then you end up with the 70s when all the women go in the workplace.
01:31:55.000Women in the workplace correlates like 100% with less babies.
01:32:00.000And so, long story short, the social structure is built around like why is that courts favor women getting the babies?
01:32:07.000First and foremost, it is fascinating to me how we as society don't know this.
01:32:11.000This is a failure on the generations before the millennials to inform the millennials of this.
01:32:17.000Our schools did not adequately inform in sex ed the function of a mother for the baby.
01:32:22.000Like, for instance, mentioning that women lactate if they hear a baby cry.
01:32:26.000Not all women, but women who have babies will like a new mother or a woman who's breastfeeding will hear a baby cry and she starts lactating.
01:32:39.000Or the fact that the saliva of the baby changes the chemical composition of the milk produced by the mother.
01:32:46.000These are things that schools should have taught.
01:32:48.000And the reason why now I think you have such this big burst in surrogacy and claims that two gay men can have a baby is because people are not adequately informed as to the requirements a human baby needs.
01:33:28.000That's why I get so fired up about, and I'm not saying you are making this argument, but the arguments people make that men and women are interchangeable in any way.
01:33:35.000It's like quite literally, I can't think of a single instance in which men and women would be interchangeable.
01:34:38.000Well, the way it used to be for most of human history is that the baby for like the first year or so is just basically hanging out with mom.
01:34:45.000At a certain point, the baby is like the male children are around the dads watching dad, you know, hit a hammer and like, you know, smelt or whatever it is he was doing, chopping wood.
01:34:55.000And the girls were hanging out with mom, watching mom churn butter or whatever it is she was doing.
01:35:29.000What is the logic behind sticking a child in front of a bunch of DMT tripping anthropomorphized animals singing random nonsense like the hot dog song?
01:35:40.000It's better than them going out till 1 a.m. with their friends and drinking?
01:37:04.000We were fake money and let them count and learn about economics and stuff.
01:37:06.000I just couldn't count above 100, though.
01:37:08.000I told my wife, the best thing is when we teach our daughter how to play poker because it's basically about learning about math and values and blackjack as well.
01:39:14.000I'm not sure, yeah, but I announced it like halfway through, so I think people started thinking about it and contributing to Ian's singing.
01:40:42.000And if they're tipping you and you're getting money through there, you don't got to worry about getting banned from banking the way we've seen so many people get banned.
01:41:25.000Yeah, the story that I talk about is how back in the day in Chicago, I got all my friends and say, hey, if we all put $100 in right now, we could rent a warehouse and have somewhere to skate in the winter.
01:41:34.000And the response from all of them was, you do it and then let us know and we'll think about spending money on it.
01:42:39.000Man, the game was so incredible back then.
01:42:41.000It was really difficult, but it was so much fun because when you were leveling up from 1 to 60 in the OG World of Warcraft, it was moderately difficult.
01:42:50.000Like there were tasks to be done, but every step of the way had its regions and it had its people, it had its adventures.
01:42:57.000So I had friends who were level 60 when I was level 23.
01:43:00.000And I couldn't really do much with them because you don't get the experience of they're running you through a dungeon or whatever, but you could get, could you could, you could get gear.
01:43:07.000But so usually they just, we would be in, like, I think we used, what was it, Team Speak?
01:43:22.000And so back in the day, there were things called instances.
01:43:27.000They were, so you've got the World of Warcraft, this big open world game, and there were missions/slash dungeons with bosses with better gear that you could loot off their bodies.
01:43:36.000But once you go in, only you and your party can go in and do it.
01:43:40.000And so, depending on how good you are at the game, but basically, you need a party of friends to go and do it.
01:45:32.000I came back for Warlords of Dronor and was fairly disappointed.
01:45:36.000And then I played Legion, and I played Legion extensively.
01:45:40.000I unlocked Void Elves, went super nuts with it, but I was getting pissed off because at this point, raids were you click a button and it would randomly assign you to a group of people doing a dungeon and then randomly give out a piece of gear to a random person.
01:46:39.000It was like internet video became my video game.
01:46:42.000It became more fun and community building and like challenging than the Warcraft and other online games.
01:46:49.000That's sort of why I transitioned away from, I mean, I still game as much as I can, but dude, stuff like this is like so much more rewarding because you're still solving problems and developing equations and beating the boss, which is Jasmine Crockett or whoever.
01:47:03.000I'm hoping that this message, like what made the OG World of Warcraft so big, will pursue.
01:47:11.000Like there was a server, this is a while ago, that was running what's called like a vanilla version, a classic Warcraft, and it got shut down.
01:47:22.000Blizzard basically was like, you're stealing RIP, shut it down.
01:47:25.000And they were running a private server where you could play the original version of the game because everyone thought the expansion sucked.
01:47:30.000So then they were like, okay, we're going to relaunch classic so everybody who likes the original game can play.
01:47:34.000And then they just started doing the same thing.
01:47:35.000And I'm like, I played it for a little bit and I'm like, no, this is dumb.
01:48:06.000And it wasn't that the game didn't matter.
01:48:09.000It got to a point where you got the best gear, but it was going to hang out with your friends for a menial task, but it was just hanging out with your friends.
01:48:45.000We got same old man that says, Tim calling the kettle black, aren't you?
01:48:48.000With screaming at politics, but you won't run.
01:48:50.000I thought it was self-evident that I was being self-deprecating when I complained about beanie-wearing dudes with folded sleeves complaining on the internet, refusing to run for office.
01:48:59.000Literally, the point is there are too many podcasters who complain and don't actually run.
01:49:03.000But I got to be honest, like, bro, I mean, I'm in West Virginia and Riley Moore is my rep. I'm chilling.
01:49:19.000You're going to get in a carpet bag now.
01:49:21.000The sacrifice Bongino made to set that show down to go serve like he did.
01:49:25.000Like, what a loss for that brief period of time.
01:49:28.000I still haven't talked to him since he's out, like, he's out of prison.
01:49:31.000It was a loss the whole time because much I can respect the street-level policing they did, we were hoping that he was going to be more targeting the corruption.
01:49:38.000And I guess for whatever reasons, he couldn't or wouldn't do it.
01:49:41.000So, you know, everybody wants to, I'm going to say this: everybody wants to attack Dan like crazy.
01:49:45.000And I'm like, eh, you can't get mad at someone for not doing you a favor.
01:50:09.000No, because the truth is, podcasters are good at being podcasters, and there's value this show brings that would be lost if I ran for office.
01:50:32.000And the list of podcasters that shouldn't run for office 10 times longer.
01:50:37.000I mean, and also you have to think of like, you know, what seats are they going to be filling?
01:50:41.000Like, just because they're a podcaster that you know that you think has good ideas or whatever doesn't mean, or they have charisma or whatever, doesn't mean that they're in a place where you want them to run.
01:50:52.000You're asking someone to uproot their life, go to a new place, and then are the people there going to vote for someone that just moved there to, you know, in order to go to Congress?
01:53:51.000And then they're like, and now there's Kung Fu Panda is at Taka Recordish.
01:53:55.000And I was like, okay, I guess I'm not playing this game anymore.
01:53:58.000One of the things that I don't like about Magic the Gathering now is they've got all the weird expansions where they've got Star Wars characters, I guess, or something like that.
01:56:17.000The simple version is he says, the Romulans are planning to launch a war against the Federation to violate the ceasefire, and they're doing it from this location.
01:56:25.000And I had to tell you to stop this war.
01:56:27.000It's going to kill everybody and they shouldn't do it.
01:56:29.000And so they go to this planet and they find nothing.
01:56:32.000And the admiral who defected is like, I don't understand.
01:56:35.000And then all of a sudden, two Romulan warships appear next to the Federation, like in front of, they decloak.
01:56:43.000And they get hailed by the captain of the ship.
01:56:46.000And he says, you are going to surrender.
01:56:48.000Like, we have caught you in the neutral zone territory.
01:56:51.000You will surrender as prisoners of war.
01:56:53.000And then we will tow your enterprise back to our home planet where we will dissect it and put it on display to inspire Romulans for generations to come.
01:57:02.000And then Picard says, that is unacceptable.
01:57:07.000And he's like, I will give you 30 seconds to make your decision.
01:58:54.000And now you watch Star Trek and it's ridiculous, woke trash where the women are like, the Federation is colonial and imperialist and engaged in propaganda.
01:59:14.000We need stories for young men to be told what it means to be a man.
01:59:19.000And that is why I am so deeply pissed off about Kurt Smintrek and what they have done to this storied and incredible intellectual property.
01:59:27.000And I fully understand many of the original series episodes and TNG were very liberal.
01:59:33.000Bro, Captain Picard literally says in an episode, diversity is our strength.
02:00:43.000I want to stress this to everybody, okay?
02:00:44.000Like the challenge with In the Pale Moonlight is understanding the full context of the next generation into Deep Space Nine and where we're at.
02:00:52.000But basically, simple version, because we're talking about a 30-year-old show at this point.
02:01:40.000And then he comes back and says, there isn't any, but we'll fabricate it.
02:01:44.000And then Sisko thinks they're going to fabricate evidence to trick the Romulans, but Garrick actually, the whole plan the whole time was to assassinate the Romulans senator, framing the Dominion, a false flag attack to trick the Romulans into going to war with our enemy.
02:02:00.000Like, think about what that means for a show that was predicated upon this liberal beauty of like exploring the galaxy and diversity being our strength to outright admit, because the episode is split between Sisko narrating in his personal log the difficulty that he had to come, like the difficult decision in falsifying evidence to try and trick another nation into going to war on your behalf, but recognizing if we don't do this, we will be destroyed.
02:02:27.000And that is something that I think conservatives need to understand right now, and they don't.
02:03:08.000I mean, you want to take land, get some paperwork filed, make it look like they did something wrong or they don't deserve it, and it's yours.
02:03:15.000All right, everybody, we're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show.
02:03:17.000So smash the like button, share the show with everyone you've ever met in your life.
02:03:20.000You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.
02:03:23.000Good sir, would you like to shout anything out?
02:03:26.000Would you like to shout anything out before we go?
02:03:29.000I mean, if you guys don't follow me already, you guys can follow me on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and I'm trying to start on my YouTube.
02:03:36.000I just activated an X account, so make sure to follow me there at GraceUnfilter92.
02:03:42.000And I'm just very grateful to be on here and to hear different sides, different opinions.
02:03:48.000Yeah, you can follow me on X and Instagram at Realtate Brown, and I'll be back with you guys tomorrow at noon Eastern for another installation of the Timcast News noon live show.
02:09:22.000I wish this one wasn't seven minutes long, but if you guys haven't seen The Last Bastion, it is also Blizzard and one of the just is it a game?
02:17:28.000And that's why you get this stupid bullshit like Relooted, where it's like, we are black people who are mad that our shit was stolen.
02:17:35.000So we're going to go rob museums and private collections.
02:17:37.000And then you end up with trash like Concorde.
02:17:40.000You end up with trash like, again, even to be fair, 10 years ago, you had trash like The Force Awakens.
02:17:45.000And you get the last six, seven years of Marvel, which have been so miserably, disastrously bad that they had to bring back Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Emsworth because they're like, everything we've done since COVID has been shit, has been piles of shit.
02:18:01.000And these fucking videos from 10 years ago, and Overwatch is dead now, by the way, but this is fucking masterpiece-level, incredible shit.
02:26:31.000Like just the they played a 30-second commercial in the Super Bowl and people were going wild for it, you know, and that stuff just doesn't happen anymore.
02:28:47.000After that, it was like the game at all after that.
02:28:50.000You used to build a glitch hop where you could explore parts of the map by figuring out areas you can jump to.
02:28:56.000And so there were undeveloped areas of the map originally that you were not supposed to be able to get to, that we would find ways to glitch into.
02:29:04.000And then they block all of that stuff out.
02:29:06.000All of the fun, all the exploration is gone.
02:29:08.000Then they say you can fly now and flying kills every game.
02:29:11.000Man, I like exploration in video games.
02:29:14.000In Fallout 76, I'll go into other people's bases, so I'll get to see the human creativity on the fly, like on the Met and like, ooh, this is neat.
02:29:20.000I'm learning new brain patterns just by being in the presence of their creation.
02:29:24.000What was that game where you were like Iron Man?
02:29:35.000Game where you are armor suits and fly around team.
02:29:40.000I think what the sad reality of like what we just watched of those two brothers coming at each other and taking accountability and ultimately trying to find common ground, that whole moral, that whole principle, that whole reality would be completely rejected during the times that we're living in because everything that is being taught about today opposes that idea that at the end of the day, there is accountability and we are brothers.
02:30:07.000So Anthem's servers shut down January 12th of this year, rendering the game unplayable.
02:30:12.000So I played Destiny when it first came out.
02:30:36.000And so they keep trying to make games that have no difficulty and nobody enjoys it.
02:30:42.000There was a lot of people that were very against casual players, right?
02:30:47.000Like they wanted games that were difficult, but the studios wanted to make games that were easy enough so that way everybody could sit down and everybody could win.
02:30:58.000Because if you couldn't finish a game, you didn't feel like you were accomplished and you'd put the game down, you wouldn't keep playing.
02:31:04.000And that's not what the studios wanted.
02:31:06.000And so the idea of a difficult video game was something that was basically studios became allergic to.
02:31:11.000They didn't understand guys like status.
02:31:14.000Being able to say, I beat Mega Man 1, you go, oh shit, for real?
02:31:19.000I think I only know like one dude who beat Mega Man 1.
02:32:59.000Like 52 different characters, some insane amount of characters.
02:33:02.000And it's actually difficult to do the combos in that fighting game.
02:33:06.000And so I'm 13, hanging out at a comic card shop, and they got Marvel's Capcom 2, and everyone's playing it, and you're trying to get good.
02:33:14.000And then my friends got on like Dreamcast.
02:33:16.000So in Marvel versus Capcom, like the way it works is you can press down and up and you double jump to the higher screen, or you jump and land at the feet of your opponent.
02:33:26.000And then you do like light, medium, down, fierce, knock him in the air, then jump up right away, and then do like light, light, mid, fierce.
02:33:34.000And he goes, boom, boom, boom, and then slams the guy into the ground.
02:33:37.000But you had to figure out the button combinations to be able to do air combos.
02:33:41.000And I had a buddy who was just like a Spider-Man master.
02:35:09.000Anytime that I go to arcade stores or arcade places like Camelot or, you know, I don't know what you guys have out here, that is the only game that I will play.
02:35:19.000I got a rule with my friends when we play PvP games now.
02:35:23.000You play, if there's a bunch of us, you play two games and then you pass the controller, whether you won or lost.
02:35:28.000It's a little communistic, maybe, like we're all equal.
02:35:30.000But what would happen is one guy would keep winning, and then everyone else would sit and watch and hope to get their turn eventually to lose to this guy.
02:35:36.000So, in order to equitize, we would just kind of like DEI.
02:39:48.000First question is: Should we begin ignoring treaties made with defunct states such as the USSR, being that the influence they use to influence the terms doesn't exist anymore?
02:40:04.000Yeah, I think that if there were any kind of treaties or anything like that with the Soviet Union, I think that they're probably defunct.
02:40:12.000You'd have to make new treaties with Russia or would have had to.
02:40:16.000But I think anything that was made with the Soviet Union, I think that those no longer hold any kind of as much as any other international law does.
02:40:27.000I think that they don't hold any value at all.
02:40:29.000And again, not that international law actually holds any value because it's all discretionary.
02:40:36.000To that end, how far should we say it's too far in pushing that concept?
02:40:56.000Well, I think that the U.S., look, whenever you're talking about treaties, if they're ratified by Congress, then it's Congress's discretion as to whether or not you're going to meet the agreement.
02:41:09.000But at the end of the day, look, if the U.S. wants to do something, the U.S. can do it, and who's going to do anything about it?
02:41:17.000And that's the way that it goes with everything, right?
02:41:19.000Russia invaded Ukraine and the whole, all of Europe and the US condemned it.
02:41:24.000But Russia still invaded Ukraine and they took Crimea and the whole international community condemned it.
02:42:53.000For the second question, which would be the third part, I guess, would be, we deployed active duty Marines in the U.S. in 1921 and again in 1926 nationwide to protect the U.S. Postal Service.
02:43:13.000They had orders to shoot to kill at the time.
