Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - HE HAS DONE IT | Timcast IRL #1462 w- Grace Unfiltered

00:02:42.000 The Texas primary was absolutely crazy.

00:02:45.000 Dan Crenshaw got primaried.

00:02:47.000 He lost.

00:02:48.000 He's going to be out.

00:02:49.000 Jasmine Crockett, she lost.

00:02:52.000 She's out.

00:02:53.000 James 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.

00:03:04.000 But the big news we're all excited for is that Brandon Herrera has won in Texas' 23rd district, beating out Tony Gonzalez.

00:03:12.000 However, not by enough.

00:03:14.000 So it's going to go to a runoff. 0.68

00:03:16.000 But when you look at the hard numbers, Brandon Herrera has won.

00:03:20.000 Just didn't clear 50%.

00:03:21.000 So the expectation is he's likely going to win, especially because the Republicans are launching investigations to Tony Gonzalez.

00:03:28.000 More information coming out about the staffer he had an affair with who immolated herself and died.

00:03:34.000 I mean, it's an absolutely crazy story.

00:03:36.000 So we got a lot to break down as it pertains to these elections.

00:03:39.000 Apparently, there's one election, I guess, where a leftist Muslim woman won the Republican primary because she was unopposed. 0.99

00:03:49.000 And it's pretty embarrassing for the Republican Party.

00:03:51.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:03:52.000 Plus, oh man, war stuff.

00:03:54.000 The first sinking of a ship by submarine since, I think, World War II.

00:03:59.000 Everybody's talking about that.

00:04:00.000 And another crazy story in these elections.

00:04:03.000 A man who is currently facing criminal charges, accused of murdering the man who raped and kidnapped his daughter.

00:04:10.000 He won his primary.

00:04:11.000 And everyone's just like, basically, everyone on the right sitting back and going, yep.

00:04:16.000 They all voted for him, probably.

00:04:17.000 But when you actually look at the story, it sounds just like self-defense.

00:04:20.000 And a lot of people are trying to make it out to be like this guy, Liam Neeson style, hunted down this guy.

00:04:25.000 It seems more like self-defense.

00:04:27.000 So we're going to get into all that.

00:04:28.000 We got a lot to talk about, my friends.

00:04:29.000 Before we do, we got a great sponsor for you.

00:05:46.000 If you ever wanted to drink pool water, don't.

00:05:50.000 Something's probably wrong with you.

00:05:52.000 But if you want to drink pool brand water, it's delicious Virginia Artesian water.

00:05:57.000 And now buy the beautiful plastic interlined cans.

00:06:01.000 I'm pretty sure the cans are lined with plastic.

00:06:04.000 I'm not 100% in that one.

00:06:05.000 I do need to ask Steam, but I'm fairly certain.

00:06:08.000 Basically, like every bottle, like every can, aluminum or otherwise, is lined with plastic to prevent corrosion.

00:06:15.000 And so people are all asking, like, Tim, do the cans have plastic?

00:06:17.000 And I'm like, oh, yeah.

00:06:18.000 Even the cap does.

00:06:19.000 I'm not going to lie about it or pretend there's not.

00:06:22.000 It's just a reality.

00:06:23.000 So if you want to buy bottled canned water, you can.

00:06:27.000 And it's got plastic in it.

00:06:30.000 We're going to check the math, but I'd imagine the amount of plastic in our cans, for which they are likely lined, would be comparable to liquid death cans, which are also plastic lined.

00:06:40.000 Anyway, smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, subscribe to this channel.

00:06:45.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we got Adam Salinas.

00:06:49.000 Thank you so much for having me, man.

00:06:51.000 My name is Adam, and I go by Grace Unfiltered on all of my social media platforms, and I appreciate you for flying me in, man.

00:06:58.000 Right on, what's your thing?

00:06:59.000 What do you do?

00:07:00.000 So I have a platform that we talk faith, politics, and kind of, you know, news around the world.

00:07:06.000 And it all started, you know, kind of back in 2014.

00:07:08.000 I mainly talked about faith.

00:07:10.000 And 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.

00:07:26.000 And now we're here.

00:07:27.000 Right on.

00:07:28.000 We got whatever this is.

00:07:32.000 That's how I feel every morning I wake up.

00:07:34.000 I was inspired by all the hat wearers in the house.

00:07:36.000 I think you were just inspired by Guns N' Roses.

00:07:38.000 Carter's the only one not wearing a hat.

00:07:40.000 I'm heavily inspired by Appetite for Destruction, by the way.

00:07:42.000 If you don't know the album, get it.

00:07:43.000 Have you heard it?

00:07:44.000 Probably.

00:07:45.000 Oh, dude, it is the best.

00:07:46.000 If you want to know where rock and roll came from, why the 90s were awesome, listen to Appetite for Destruction.

00:07:52.000 It is the answer.

00:07:53.000 And you can follow me at Ian Crossland.

00:07:54.000 I also want to shout out Alex Stein's big booty booty Latina love potion. 0.82

00:08:00.000 I'm drinking it right now.

00:08:01.000 It's excellent.

00:08:02.000 It's a Casper's newest coffee.

00:08:04.000 Spectacular.

00:08:05.000 It was so good that I had to bring it in and do a post of my own about it.

00:08:07.000 So go get it at casprew.com if you haven't yet.

00:08:10.000 Alex Stein is not a doctor.

00:08:11.000 Alex 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.

00:08:18.000 I'll say there's a little tension in the table right now because you're sipping on that.

00:08:22.000 It's interesting.

00:08:23.000 It's getting like – Well, it's all guys in here, Tate.

00:08:25.000 So I don't know what you're thinking.

00:08:26.000 Jeez, Louise.

00:08:27.000 Yeah, anyway.

00:08:28.000 Yeah, that's why I throw the hat on when we're getting too close.

00:08:31.000 Like I need to get a haircut.

00:08:32.000 And then the hat just stays on.

00:08:33.000 Your beard looks nice today.

00:08:35.000 I don't know what's like everything's getting wacky and wild.

00:08:37.000 Phil's just raw dog in the show right now.

00:08:39.000 Hello, everybody.

00:08:39.000 My name is Phil Levante.

00:08:40.000 I'm going to see you the heavy metal band all that remains.

00:08:42.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:08:44.000 Gee, man, I really got to get a thing that's really fast like yours.

00:08:44.000 What's up, Carter?

00:08:48.000 I do not have a hat on today, but I'm going to get one because Ian has inspired me.

00:08:51.000 I'm here pushing the buttons, priests on the show, and I'm pumped.

00:08:54.000 Thanks for coming out, man.

00:08:55.000 Let's get into it.

00:08:56.000 Here'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.

00:09:08.000 It 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.

00:09:21.000 See, 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.

00:09:41.000 I would argue indeed it is not a tight race as Brendan Herrera won handily.

00:09:47.000 However, in we got to scroll down here on this website.

00:09:50.000 In Texas, you've got to get at least 50%.

00:09:54.000 So, okay, fair, fair, fair.

00:09:55.000 It is relatively tight.

00:09:56.000 It's less than a thousand votes, but Brandon Herrera won.

00:09:59.000 And so the headline should be: either Gonzalez defeated by Brandon Herrera, however, they will both go to a runoff.

00:10:06.000 Every headline acts like Brandon Herrera, who I'm going to argue is substantially more famous than Tony Gonzalez.

00:10:12.000 This is what really irks me.

00:10:13.000 Okay, this is the reality of the establishment media and the machine state of this country.

00:10:20.000 By any metric, Brandon Herrera is more famous than Tony Gonzalez.

00:10:24.000 He's got millions of followers.

00:10:26.000 And I'm not saying that to disparage Tony Gonzalez, but Tony Gonzalez is like a rank and file member of Congress.

00:10:31.000 In his district, he's probably moderately well known.

00:10:34.000 But I guarantee you, if you go to any random place in the country and ask him, Do you know who Brandon Herrera is?

00:10:39.000 Do you know who Tony Gonzalez is?

00:10:41.000 You're going to get more people saying Brandon Herrera, he's a big YouTuber.

00:10:44.000 So 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.

00:10:57.000 So, outside of that, we got a lot to talk about because Jasmine Crockett got fired and Dan Crenshaw got fired as well.

00:11:06.000 So, I mean, are we looking at?

00:11:09.000 Well, I will, I got to throw him in the mix, okay?

00:11:11.000 Lower Republican turnout than Democrat.

00:11:14.000 How are you guys feeling about all this?

00:11:16.000 So, I think that it's kind of not a surprise that Crenshaw got beat, honestly.

00:11:24.000 He's looked at as a swamp creature.

00:11:27.000 If you look at his history when it comes to stock trading, he's done a lot of things that people consider insider trading.

00:11:33.000 He's made a lot of money in the stock market since he's been in Congress.

00:11:37.000 It's fairly well known.

00:11:38.000 I 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.

00:11:46.000 Yeah, I mean, Crenshaw is literally the worst.

00:11:50.000 I think everyone knew that.

00:11:51.000 It got to the point where we were all like, maybe we owe Pete Davidson an apology.

00:11:54.000 Like, that actually kind of was kind of a funny joke when you think about it.

00:11:57.000 Like, it got so bad.

00:11:59.000 So, good ridance.

00:12:00.000 Well, 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.

00:12:08.000 And, and he just totally wasted it and totally blew it.

00:12:12.000 Yeah, the GOP was a lot softer when he came in, too.

00:12:16.000 And then he just like ended up being this really like catty, vindictive guy.

00:12:19.000 Like, I don't even know how much of it really was his politics more so than it was just his personality.

00:12:25.000 It was just like he would crash out all the time. 0.96

00:12:27.000 He was literally like a gay guy, the way he behaved. 1.00

00:12:30.000 He was like a curmudgeon. 0.95

00:12:31.000 Yeah, he was always just like freaking out on people and he's always like trying to settle scores. 0.85

00:12:35.000 And the way he like tweeted was just like, it made you feel gross.

00:12:39.000 Patch McCain was very accurate for him. 0.69

00:12:41.000 Yeah, there's a lot of great nicknames for him.

00:12:43.000 It's so sad, though, because when he got in, he was so promising.

00:12:45.000 Everyone was excited.

00:12:47.000 Yeah, he was awesome.

00:12:48.000 I thought he was going to be the guy that spoke truth to power because he kind of did at the beginning.

00:12:52.000 But I feel like a lot of people didn't even know about him until the Pete Davidson thing.

00:12:56.000 What year?

00:12:56.000 Well, I will say this.

00:12:58.000 The politicos, the space that I was in, when he won, we were like, let's go.

00:13:02.000 He's a big deal.

00:13:03.000 A new breed of better Republicans to challenge the machine state.

00:13:07.000 And then what happened?

00:13:08.000 A combat veteran guy, right?

00:13:10.000 He's going to get in there and he's going to whip these suits into shape.

00:13:13.000 We had these pencil-necked DC guys who have never seen a fight in their lives.

00:13:16.000 Crenshaw comes in.

00:13:17.000 We were stoked.

00:13:18.000 And then he threatened to kill Tucker Carlson.

00:13:21.000 Yeah.

00:13:22.000 Shout out to Stephen Edmonton.

00:13:24.000 I think it's one of those things that he ended up becoming the very product that we were trying to get out of office.

00:13:30.000 Yeah.

00:13:30.000 You know, to where not every great individual with a great pedigree is meant for leadership.

00:13:36.000 You 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.

00:13:47.000 And far right in the moment seemed like the perfect answer.

00:13:50.000 But 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.

00:14:02.000 I think it's about time that Republicans are seeing, you know what?

00:14:05.000 It's not, it's not about having that far left, far right narrative.

00:14:09.000 It's about finding where conservatives were supposed to be the entire time.

00:14:12.000 Yeah, I think that makes it less.

00:14:14.000 In Iran?

00:14:16.000 Did it COVID drive Dan Crenshaw insane?

00:14:18.000 Because he was normal at first, kind of a badass.

00:14:21.000 Then he got real quiet for a couple of years and I didn't hear from him.

00:14:23.000 And then he started bitching nonstop.

00:14:25.000 Maybe, 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.

00:14:37.000 And he's like, here's a list of your browser history.

00:14:38.000 He says, I will say anything you want.

00:14:40.000 Oh, did he get blackmailed?

00:14:41.000 I'm kidding.

00:14:42.000 Maybe.

00:14:42.000 Someone was going to tell people what's actually behind the patch.

00:14:45.000 Yeah, I think he's just like a ladder climber.

00:14:47.000 Because I remember when he first came in, everyone's like getting all hyped.

00:14:50.000 They 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. 0.51

00:14:56.000 He's like, this is so hateful.

00:14:57.000 Like, we can't, Americans, we're better than this.

00:14:59.000 So it's like, this guy clearly was a ladder climber.

00:15:03.000 And typically, when you're a ladder climber, you're actually really good at like hiding your cards, but he's terrible at it.

00:15:07.000 He has the worst poker face in politics.

00:15:09.000 Like, that's like what I led with this.

00:15:11.000 He's literally melting down all the time.

00:15:13.000 I've never seen him happy before.

00:15:14.000 Like, he's always just mad, freaking out, just like good.

00:15:19.000 And I think, honestly, his constituents probably don't even know anything about his politics.

00:15:23.000 They're just sick of his attitude.

00:15:25.000 Yeah.

00:15:27.000 I just can't stand the guy.

00:15:28.000 This is a light taste of what's to come this year with the midterm elections.

00:15:32.000 And you know, it's going to get real spicy towards the end of summer because the Democrats came out in force.

00:15:37.000 The turnout was very, very good for Democrats.

00:15:39.000 Republicans were down by like what 20%.

00:15:42.000 So 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.

00:15:52.000 Like these, these elections very, very much mattered.

00:15:56.000 And although I would say it turned out very well on the Republican side, the turnout was relatively low.

00:16:02.000 So end of summer, Democrats are going to be coming out screaming and bashing their faces against the table that the apocalypse is happening.

00:16:09.000 You 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.

00:16:17.000 So you can see, I guess, what do they have pulled up?

00:16:20.000 Like the top left is some sport channel.

00:16:20.000 Sports?

00:16:22.000 I don't know you guys watch football or something.

00:16:23.000 But then you got Fox, MS Now, and CNN.

00:16:26.000 And it was absolutely hilarious before the show started.

00:16:30.000 MS 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.

00:16:40.000 And then Fox was like, Democrats endorse murder or something.

00:16:44.000 Not even kidding.

00:16:45.000 And then CNN was like more missile strikes in Riyadh or whatever, something like that.

00:16:49.000 And I just thought it was absolutely hilarious to see the state of media in this country right now.

00:16:54.000 But I would argue that Fox News, hyper-partisan, Democrats endorse, you know, illegal immigrant crime or something like this.

00:17:02.000 And it's like, I get it.

00:17:04.000 It's like, okay, it's hyperbolic, but technically it's true.

00:17:08.000 Heg Seth saying that stop, claiming that people should stop talking about dead troops because it makes Trump look bad.

00:17:13.000 That literally never happened.

00:17:14.000 And so, like, the right is, you know, if watching Fox News, you're going to be biased.

00:17:20.000 You know, you're going to get information biased against Democrats, but opinionated and true, hyperbolic, perhaps.

00:17:26.000 And MS Now is just lying about what's going on. 1.00

00:17:29.000 Imagine what it's going to be like in August when we're a couple months out from the midterms.

00:17:33.000 And this is the Democrats' opportunity to put an end to Trump once and for all, because this is it for him.

00:17:39.000 This is his last opportunity.

00:17:42.000 If the Democrats win the midterms, they know they are going to jam a crowbar in the gears and then just lock everything up.

00:17:49.000 So they are going to be going out in massive force, screaming that the world is ending.

00:17:54.000 And my point on the MS Now thing is, you think that headline is crazy?

00:17:58.000 Wait till you see what they pull out.

00:18:00.000 Like Donald Trump will go to pet a dog and they'll speed it up 200% and it says Donald Trump repeatedly strikes dog. 0.87

00:18:06.000 It's going to be nuts. 0.92

00:18:07.000 It's going to be absolutely insane.

00:18:08.000 I mean, nowadays it's going to be just AI photos of the same thing or videos of the same thing.

00:18:11.000 Yeah.

00:18:12.000 Well, 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.

00:18:21.000 So you're going to get a negative feedback loop where some money starts coming in.

00:18:25.000 MS Now starts saying like, hey, if we don't win this election, it's all over. 0.89

00:18:28.000 All these donors are going to freak out and start pouring more and more money in.

00:18:31.000 So this is going to be like the most expensive midterm cycle, not just on the election side, but in the media side as well.

00:18:36.000 Do 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?

00:18:43.000 And you think they're still going to open up their pocketbooks, books for that?

00:18:46.000 Well, because they'd think they're the exception.

00:18:47.000 Well, wasn't Bernie Sanders' campaigns mostly funded by small donors and stuff?

00:18:53.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:53.000 So like, but that's kind of rare.

00:18:55.000 I mean, like, another example is the Herrera versus.

00:18:57.000 It was all millionaires and billionaires, but they only gave 20 bucks.

00:18:57.000 No, no, no, no.

00:19:01.000 I'm kidding.

00:19:01.000 It wasn't.

00:19:02.000 It was mostly like working class, middle class people.

00:19:04.000 And the Herrera-Gonzalez race is another example where Herrera was mostly, actually, I think it was entirely small donors.

00:19:10.000 And then Gonzalez was like all institutional.

00:19:11.000 But 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.

00:19:23.000 So it's like we're still playing in the old school game.

00:19:25.000 The 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.

00:19:32.000 And they've made it clear that they look at wealthy people as the enemy.

00:19:35.000 I 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.

00:19:48.000 Right now, people have already started to leave California just because that is on the ballot.

00:19:53.000 It seems like it's a popular ballot measure and it might pass.

00:19:57.000 But at the same time, when the wealthy people are like, yo, we can't do this.

00:20:03.000 Are they really going to write checks for people that are going to be able to do that?

00:20:05.000 I think they're going to continue to write those checks because it's all a part of the grand scheme of things.

00:20:10.000 Because they'll end up with someone like Mamdani in New York and will continue to fund this whole spiel. 0.82

00:20:17.000 Right now, they're using this as bait that we got to tax the rich, we got to tax the rich.

00:20:22.000 Those 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.

00:20:36.000 But it will continue to come down.

00:20:37.000 But the evidence coming out of California is that they don't.

00:20:40.000 They leave.

00:20:41.000 They try to get away from that.

00:20:42.000 To 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.

00:20:52.000 So that trumps everything else.

00:20:54.000 They're willing to risk it on them potentially getting taxed more if it means keeping Trump out.

00:20:57.000 And this happens from the center left all the way to the far left.

00:21:00.000 Look at Bill Crystal.

00:21:01.000 Bill Crystal's what he has wet dreams every night of bombing Iran.

00:21:04.000 He literally dreams and salivates about bombing Iran. 0.86

00:21:07.000 It's all he wants to see before he dies is burning flesh in Iran. 1.00

00:21:10.000 Trump bombs Iran.

00:21:12.000 All of a sudden, he's like, you know, Trump is committing like a war crime here.

00:21:15.000 And like, he's actually not following the rule of international law.

00:21:18.000 So it's like, every single one of these people, their lifelong dream, they will over the Trump hatred will overcome that every single time. 0.98

00:21:24.000 But Bill Crystal is a swamp monster. 0.94

00:21:26.000 Bill Crystal is left. 0.98

00:21:27.000 He's left center.

00:21:28.000 He may be left center, but he's not a business person that's a billionaire that's writing the massive checks.

00:21:33.000 Bill Crystal will cut a check to Mamdani if it means keeping Trump out of office.

00:21:37.000 Well, let's jump to the story.

00:21:37.000 Probably.

00:21:38.000 We got this from CBS News, House Ethics Committee to investigate rep Tony Gonzalez over allegations of affair with aide who died by suicide.

00:21:48.000 For those who are not familiar, this is the guy that Brandon Herrera is running against.

00:21:51.000 He cheated on his wife with a woman who then killed herself.

00:21:55.000 And, you know, I'm going to say this: there are details about the story everybody in the Beltway knows.

00:22:02.000 We're here in D.C., basically.

00:22:04.000 And so we hear all these rumors, which for which, you know, I can address a little bit.

00:22:08.000 And I'm careful because I don't know what exactly is true, but everybody's got a similar story.

00:22:13.000 However, I will stress: there are some people who think it wasn't suicide.

00:22:17.000 And 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.

00:22:27.000 That 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.

00:22:37.000 We see some of these rumors running is that he's going to lose his election if it comes out that's having an affair.

00:22:43.000 The woman he's having an affair with is then found immolated.

00:22:46.000 She says, her dying breath, I don't want to die.

00:22:49.000 And people immediately take that as somebody tried to silence her.

00:22:53.000 Now, I got this.

00:22:54.000 Douglas Mackey tweeted this out. 0.85

00:22:56.000 She committed suicide by lighting herself on fire.

00:22:58.000 When she was found heavily burned and pleading for water, her last words were, I don't want to die.

00:23:03.000 100% 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.

00:23:10.000 Life is precious.

00:23:10.000 And it's true.

00:23:11.000 He has this from the story.

00:23:13.000 It says, Santos Avil was regional district director for Rep Gonzalez, a Republican representing Texas 23rd District.

00:23:20.000 She joined his staff in November of 2021.

00:23:22.000 Her 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.

00:23:31.000 Santos Aviles, Avil's favorite pronouns, and her husband had separated and were sharing parental responsibilities.

00:23:36.000 Her 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.

00:23:45.000 The last thing she said is, I don't want to die.

00:23:47.000 So when this story came out, tons of people were saying, it kind of sounds like somebody was killed, that somebody was lit on fire.

00:23:57.000 And 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. 0.96

00:24:10.000 And he's like, get out of here, crazy lady. 1.00

00:24:13.000 So on the phone, she dumps fuel on herself and then screams, I'll do it, I'll do it. 0.91

00:24:20.000 And again, I don't know that any of this is true.

00:24:22.000 These are just rumors that are circulating.

00:24:24.000 And 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.

00:24:37.000 That is not correct.

00:24:38.000 The fuel itself is not flammable.

00:24:40.000 It is the fumes that are flammable.

00:24:42.000 And so, again, I don't know if this is true, but the rumors that have been circulating is that she snapped a lighter or something.

00:24:48.000 She like splashes herself while filming and then like snaps a lighter, like, I'll do it.

00:24:52.000 And goes up.

00:24:55.000 Because when you are splashed with fuel, the fumes are coming off you.

00:24:59.000 An ignition source near the fumes will light you up.

00:25:02.000 Now, again, I don't know that any of that is true.

00:25:05.000 And I'm just saying this: you got all these members of Congress, and they're like, Yeah, this is what everyone's saying happened.

00:25:10.000 You know, now there's a couple things.

00:25:12.000 Maybe the reason those rumors are circulating is because it, you know, for an establishment Republican guy, it's ooh, salacious.

00:25:21.000 So there's nothing, there's no foul play.

00:25:23.000 You know what I mean?

00:25:24.000 Because right now, like, we don't really even know what happened in the official reporting.

00:25:27.000 They've not released any evidence or details.

00:25:29.000 This guy sounds electable.

00:25:30.000 That's all I know.

00:25:31.000 When did she?

00:25:32.000 People are voting for him.

00:25:33.000 She lit herself on fire last September 13th. 0.84

00:25:36.000 It was a long time ago.

00:25:37.000 You'd think there'd be a criminal investigation if it was anything.

00:25:39.000 I covered it when it happened on my morning show.

00:25:41.000 Yeah, I remember Tony Ortiz was covering it pretty heavily as well.

00:25:45.000 I literally had that, not this literal situation, but I dated a girl for a long time and she threatened to kill herself. 0.99

00:25:51.000 I 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.

00:25:57.000 I can't stop you and I'm not going to shut down my life for you.

00:26:00.000 And so I empathize if that's what this guy was going to do.

00:26:02.000 Ian just looks at her.

00:26:03.000 He's like, do it.

00:26:04.000 I didn't say, do it.

00:26:06.000 That's kind of like really.

00:26:08.000 That's kind of like a point to you because it's like, she's like, I can't live without him.

00:26:11.000 Ian, Ian, when she said it, he goes, no, wait, don't.

00:26:11.000 No, no.

00:26:14.000 Yeah, it wasn't about me.

00:26:15.000 It never was.

00:26:16.000 You know, she was like, one of my boys, three of his exes became lesbians.

00:26:22.000 And like the first one, you're like, that's weird.

00:26:23.000 The second time, it's like, okay.

00:26:24.000 The third one, it's like, I think this guy is so good that she realizes I'm never getting a better man.

00:26:28.000 So I might as well just switch him out.

00:26:29.000 Yeah, or the other way around. 0.91

00:26:30.000 Like, if everywhere you go, you smell, you know, poop.

00:26:33.000 You got to check your boot.

00:26:35.000 So he must be doing something to these women where they're like, oh. 0.99

00:26:37.000 Oh, yeah, maybe it'd be so bad they ruin men forever.

00:26:41.000 Yeah.

00:26:42.000 I mean, I've met multiple individuals throughout my life, especially when I used to travel for ministry and stuff.

00:26:47.000 Individuals that literally tried to commit suicide, try to take their own life away.

00:26:53.000 And 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.

00:27:01.000 And thankfully people got there in time.

00:27:03.000 Those situations, nobody in the heat of the moment, when the act is actually coming about, nobody is thinking, yes, it's finally happening.

00:27:10.000 Of course, anybody would think about saying, I don't want to die in the heat of the moment.

00:27:15.000 But 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.

00:27:31.000 I want to stress too, because we've got a super chat from ex-IFA.

00:27:34.000 I can't pronounce your name.

00:27:36.000 The investigators are the Uvalde Police Department, the same ones that let all those kids die.

00:27:40.000 So, you know, part of me has to go like, sounds probably like foul play or something nefarious.

00:27:45.000 You know, member of Congress's mistress goes up in flames. 0.92

00:27:48.000 Nothing to see here, folks.

00:27:50.000 No one has any idea what's really going on.

00:27:52.000 And I'm going to be honest with you guys.

00:27:55.000 The House Ethics Committee is investigating, right?

00:27:57.000 Sure.

00:27:58.000 I think the public has a right to know everything about this story.

00:28:02.000 Now, to be fair, I understand the family may say, look, it's a tragic incident.

00:28:06.000 Considering this was the mistress of a member of Congress who died under suspicious circumstances, I'm sorry.

00:28:13.000 I think the public has a right to know.

00:28:15.000 Like, what are the details of this?

00:28:16.000 If 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.

00:28:26.000 Because if they don't, then anyone could just step up to those positions.

00:28:29.000 If 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.

00:28:37.000 Yeah, it's kind of the same thing.

00:28:38.000 It'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.

00:28:45.000 I was like high on the job.

00:28:47.000 One guy, you know, he cheated on his wife and then she burned herself alive.

00:28:50.000 Like some of these things, you know, would make you a little bit like, maybe you should not run for office.

00:28:53.000 Maybe stick to like, I don't know, middle management.

00:28:56.000 Right.

00:28:56.000 There's a difference between I stole a piece of gum and my ex well, you know, I mean, look, I mean, you know, no one's perfect.

00:29:03.000 There's nothing perfect.

00:29:04.000 There's nothing approaching that in my history, and even I wouldn't run for office.

00:29:08.000 I have a few speeding tickets.

00:29:11.000 Oh, man, I missed a water bill from an old rental place and they had to come find me.

00:29:14.000 I'm not.

00:29:14.000 Yeah, but here's the thing.

00:29:15.000 Like, MS now is never going to run a story saying, you know, Tate Brown forgot to pay water bill.

00:29:22.000 They're going to run a story that says like derelict and vagrant how Tate Brown skipped town on his debts.

00:29:30.000 They're going to like crank it up to 11 and they're going to bring in like the landlord and they're not going to say the number.

00:29:36.000 There's going to be like, so when he stole that money from you, what did that do to your family?

00:29:40.000 And the guy starts crying like, we lost everything because of Tate Brown.

00:29:44.000 It's like an anti-Semitic move, like the ADL comes.

00:29:47.000 Like, he's oppressing landlords.

00:29:49.000 Get him.

00:29:50.000 Well, they're going to continue to use that bait because the bait keeps working.

00:29:54.000 It's the exact same tactic for the past few years.

00:29:56.000 This whole false narrative on every single story that they bring, they have to add salsa to it.

00:30:02.000 They have to add an ingredient that fits whatever narrative to attack a certain people or a certain person.

00:30:08.000 And if it's still working, why change the bait?

00:30:11.000 You know, I got to just stress, I am deeply offended by the word salsa because it just means sauce.

00:30:17.000 Oh, really?

00:30:17.000 Yeah.

00:30:18.000 Well, I mean, to Hispanics, salsa isn't just sauce.

00:30:22.000 It's salsa.

00:30:23.000 Yeah, but like the direct translation is sauce.

00:30:27.000 You're dancing.

00:30:27.000 That's the dances.

00:30:28.000 Yeah, I was going to say, what about a dance?

00:30:29.000 It's hot.

00:30:31.000 No, I mean, when we think of salsa, we're not just thinking sauce.

00:30:35.000 We're thinking something that's going to bring this back to life.

00:30:38.000 Any sauce?

00:30:40.000 Not for Hispanics. 1.00

00:30:41.000 Like, man.

00:30:42.000 No.

00:30:42.000 And you will not hear Mexican or Hispanic be like, Trame la salsa.

00:30:47.000 You know, go give me mayo.

00:30:48.000 Like, no, no.

00:30:49.000 This reminds me of like when people from other countries are like, but in my country, like, dinner is like a big deal.

00:30:53.000 Like, it's like a thing for us.

00:30:56.000 And I'm like, oh, well, it's just dinner.

00:30:58.000 Doesn't have to be.

00:30:59.000 We gather together and we like pray and then we like talk.

00:31:01.000 I'm like, that's just everybody else.

00:31:03.000 No, but this is the annoying thing because it's like a liberal thing.

00:31:06.000 Like with the talk, they're like, oh, yeah. 0.98

00:31:08.000 These, these, these awful affluent white female. 1.00

00:31:11.000 I love how they added the U to it. 0.94

00:31:12.000 Before it was just affluent white female liberal, but now it's affluent white female urban liberal. 1.00

00:31:16.000 And I'm like, you've done it.

00:31:17.000 You've completed the acronym.

00:31:19.000 And they're like, you don't understand. 0.65

00:31:21.000 Black people have to tell their kids not to fight with cops. 1.00

00:31:24.000 It's like, everybody in the city does that. 0.99

00:31:27.000 My kid's white as hell, and I already told him, don't message the cops. 0.55

00:31:30.000 Like, the cops tell you to do something. 0.91

00:31:31.000 You listen.

00:31:32.000 You're not going to win a fight with a cop.

00:31:33.000 Like, even if the cop is dirty, you know he's corrupt and he's wrongfully arresting you.

00:31:38.000 You're not going to win a fight with a cop.

00:31:39.000 It's just not going to happen.

00:31:40.000 The whole state on his side.

00:31:41.000 Yeah.

00:31:41.000 And but, but not just that.

00:31:42.000 Like, let's say a cop plants a drug on you or whatever.

00:31:44.000 Fighting with him just is going to make it look like you are more guilty.

00:31:48.000 Yeah. 0.73

00:31:48.000 And it's going to help the corrupt cop. 0.73

00:31:50.000 Yeah.

00:31:51.000 Bro, there's some.

00:31:52.000 I 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.

00:31:57.000 It's over.

00:31:58.000 I mean, I get into that kind of conversation regularly on the internet and stuff, like because I'm a big 2A guy.

00:32:04.000 So it's like, look, you're not going to win a fight with a guy with a gun.

00:32:08.000 He has to win the fight, right?

00:32:10.000 Because if you were to knock him out, he has to assume you're going to shoot him and you're going to run off with the gun.

00:32:18.000 That means someone that just committed a murder is now on the loose in public with a firearm.

00:32:24.000 He has to win the fight.

00:32:26.000 And the cop is not going to let you win. 0.92

00:32:29.000 He will shoot you first, and there are more cops coming all the time.

00:32:33.000 So you just can't fight.

00:32:34.000 You cannot fight the cops.

00:32:35.000 You will not win.

00:32:36.000 Let's go to this story from Fox News, straight out of Congress.

00:32:40.000 Top progressive concedes race.

00:32:41.000 It's her viral mockery for embarrassing defeat.

00:32:44.000 Jasmine Crockett lost, and she's accusing the Republicans of cheating somehow. 0.86

00:32:51.000 That's just like knee-jerk reaction.

00:32:53.000 She didn't think about it.

00:32:54.000 It just came out that way.

00:32:55.000 I think it's because the worldview of the Democrats is that they only exist to call Republicans evil.

00:33:03.000 And so there is no narrative thread for which she could pull to say Democrats cheat elections.

00:33:10.000 I mean, I think it's embarrassing because for someone who jokingly criticized Donald Trump for using that card, she used it now.

00:33:18.000 We just seen a few moments ago how the amount of Republicans that went into the voting polls were a lot less this time around.

00:33:25.000 And 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.

00:33:32.000 Well, the Democrats cheated.

00:33:34.000 They 100% cheated.

00:33:36.000 By favoring the other candidates.

00:33:37.000 Stephen Colbert staged a hoax where James Tellarico, listen, I want to stress this.

00:33:43.000 James Tallarico engaged in a hoax with Stephen Colbert.

00:33:47.000 Tallerico tweeted out, this is the interview Trump didn't want you to see.

00:33:52.000 And they framed it as though he was the only candidate and that he was already the primary winner.

00:33:58.000 Colbert 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.

00:34:11.000 That if you're going to have a Democrat, the Republicans should be allowed.

00:34:14.000 Hold on.

00:34:15.000 We are not in the general.

00:34:17.000 So that means Tellerico's opponent who would have been granted equal time was Jasmine Crockett. 0.95

00:34:22.000 The purpose of the hoax was to create the perception in the minds of the people that Tallarico was already the nominee.

00:34:29.000 And nobody knew who he was.

00:34:31.000 He had no notoriety.

00:34:32.000 He was not going to beat Jasmine Crockett, a rising star in the Democratic Party, until this.

00:34:37.000 And Hollywood Reporter is gloating about it, saying the Colbert bump did it.

00:34:42.000 That because, and they don't call it a hoax.

00:34:44.000 They're saying, thanks to the interview that Colbert refused to censor in the face of the FCC, Tallerico wins.

00:34:53.000 Well, now, the craziest thing is Jasmine Crockett crying like a baby and blaming the Republicans. 0.99

00:34:59.000 Let me play this clip for you guys.

00:35:01.000 Fred has already stated, we encourage each and every one of you to remain resilient.

00:35:08.000 We 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.

00:35:19.000 Well, is she talking about Democrats there?

00:35:21.000 Because they're the ones that cheated.

00:35:23.000 My question, are you going to go to the Bernie Sanders route, Jasmine?

00:35:25.000 Are you going to now kowtow and just, you know, wipe your tears?

00:35:28.000 No, she's out, bro.

00:35:29.000 She's fine, she's gone.

00:35:30.000 Or are you gonna step up like Tulsi Gabbard and acknowledge the Malfeasance there? 0.88

00:35:33.000 Because I mean, sounds like you have a case, an FCC case, for not getting equal time on Colbert.

00:35:39.000 I mean, the FCC is important.

00:35:40.000 Make sure that all they didn't put it on TV, they put it on YouTube.

00:35:43.000 Oh my God, that's so funny.

00:35:44.000 It was a hoax, bro.

00:35:46.000 It is evil, evil stuff.

00:35:48.000 Evil stuff. 0.84

00:35:49.000 Bro, Tallarico skinned a Christian alive and schlopped his skin over his body and says, Look at me. 0.93

00:35:56.000 I have a risky vote for me.

00:35:57.000 And 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. 0.72

00:36:04.000 Jasmine Crockett, I think, is a bad person. 1.00

00:36:06.000 I do not trust her.

00:36:07.000 I think she lies about her accent, all that stuff. 1.00

00:36:09.000 But holy crap, step outside. 1.00

00:36:12.000 Okay, 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. 0.99

00:36:19.000 At the same time, I am rightly pissed off that this is how politics in our country is being run. 0.98

00:36:24.000 Don't get me wrong, I'm not naive.

00:36:26.000 I know that politics has been dirty for a very, very long time, but this is so brazen.

00:36:30.000 So brazen.

00:36:31.000 Yeah.

00:36:32.000 I 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. 0.64

00:36:41.000 Who should we nominate? 0.98

00:36:42.000 Let's nominate like a gay white guy. 1.00

00:36:43.000 That's like the slowest. 0.99

00:36:45.000 Look, Jasmine Crockett's her announcement that she was running again was just like 30 seconds of Donald Trump calling her a low IQ person. 0.86

00:36:53.000 While she spins, yeah, while she spins, like it is right off the bat, it just demonstrated that she is a low IQ person. 1.00

00:37:00.000 You don't run 30 seconds of the president of the United States dogging you out.

00:37:05.000 It's like a humiliation for me.

00:37:06.000 Right, right, right.

00:37:07.000 Well, 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.

00:37:20.000 So, 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?

00:37:29.000 But she can't win. 0.98

00:37:30.000 And if your worldview is moderate Democrats suck, but Republicans are pure evil demons, you will vote for a sock over a Republican. 0.99

00:37:39.000 So, the attitude they this is the Democrat establishment plan: Tallarico masquerades as a Christian. 0.99

00:37:44.000 He, 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.

00:37:56.000 There'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. 0.90

00:38:03.000 About Mary, the Immaculate Conception was the angels saying you can abort the baby Jesus right now if you want. 0.57

00:38:11.000 Never, not real, not once did that happen.

00:38:15.000 I did a video on it earlier today.

00:38:16.000 Oh, my God.

00:38:18.000 Luke chapter 1, verse 34.

00:38:21.000 You find the angel telling her that she will conceive and call that child Jesus.

00:38:26.000 Later on, she asks the angel, what's going on?

00:38:29.000 How will this be?

00:38:30.000 I'm a virgin.

00:38:31.000 Lets her know how.

00:38:31.000 Verse 38, she comes out and says, Behold, I am the Lord's servant.

00:38:36.000 Let your word be to me as you have already spoken it.

00:38:38.000 Not once does this validate her consenting to give Jesus an opportunity to live.

00:38:44.000 This was not her consenting to abort him.

00:38:47.000 The framing that Tellerico made in this video, he says the angel went to her and said, Do you want to actually finish carrying this baby?

00:38:55.000 And she was like, okay, I will.

00:38:57.000 It's like, see, they asked for consent.

00:38:59.000 Therefore, the angel was like, you may terminate the son of God. 0.99

00:39:03.000 This dude is evil. 1.00

00:39:05.000 He is an evil man. 0.99

00:39:06.000 Like, I think I actually have the, I don't know if I have the tweet from him. 0.95

00:39:10.000 No, let me pull it up.

00:39:12.000 James Tellerico engaging in the, let's see.

00:39:15.000 Yep, I got it right here.

00:39:17.000 I always got my sources, always got my sources.

00:39:19.000 Here's Tellerico's tweet himself.

00:39:22.000 This is the interview Donald Trump didn't want you to see.

00:39:25.000 His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

00:39:30.000 First of all, Trump had nothing to do with it.

00:39:33.000 The FCC had nothing to do with it.

00:39:36.000 The FCC never intervened in any capacity.

00:39:39.000 CBS stated, they told Colbert, if you interview a politician, FCC equal time rules means you will need to have on that person's opponent.

00:39:50.000 That's it.

00:39:51.000 Colbert lied, and James Tallerico, the Democrat nominee, lied along with it.

00:39:58.000 To frame this as Trump is trying to stop me, the nominee, from winning. 0.92

00:40:03.000 And it was funny to find out if you actually pay attention, you're like, hold on there, gosh darn minute.

00:40:07.000 This was shutting down Jasmine Crockett, not Paxton or Cornyn. 0.83

00:40:11.000 They are lying. 0.94

00:40:12.000 Tellerico is evil. 0.89

00:40:14.000 Okay. 0.94

00:40:15.000 Look, I'll tell you this.

00:40:17.000 I remember it's like 2018 or whatever.

00:40:20.000 And my mom calls me and she's like, how come all you ever do is talk about Democrats? 0.82

00:40:25.000 And I said, because they're evil.

00:40:26.000 I was like, they constantly do duplicitous things.

00:40:31.000 They're malicious.

00:40:32.000 They're lying. 1.00

00:40:33.000 And she goes, yeah, but Republicans are bad too. 1.00

00:40:35.000 And I was like, I don't disagree.

00:40:38.000 Give me something that Democrats have done that I think would, you know, that you think would be bad.

00:40:42.000 And my mom was like, well, I mean, I don't know.

00:40:45.000 And I'm like, right.

00:40:46.000 The problem with the Republican Party is they are sitting on their hands, elitists, who are weak pencil necks who can't get the job done.

00:40:54.000 They do have their scandals. 0.97

00:40:56.000 There are evil Republicans too.

00:40:58.000 But the Democratic Party just hits Grand Slam after Grand Slam.

00:41:03.000 And so when the day-to-day, when we're going through the day-to-day, what do I find?

00:41:07.000 There are many Republicans that are at odds with the establishment of the Republican Party, and I can stand alongside them.

00:41:12.000 I can say I'm a fan of Thomas Massey.

00:41:13.000 I 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.

00:41:20.000 And then we know there's the establishment, bad Republicans, and we call them out.

00:41:23.000 But it's just sometimes because usually the problem with Republicans is they don't do anything.

00:41:27.000 It's like the Save Act.

00:41:29.000 Hey, vote for this thing.

00:41:30.000 And they're like, well, I don't know.

00:41:31.000 And so our biggest complaint is they won't do it.

00:41:33.000 Democrats, on the other hand, do things like this.

00:41:37.000 Just abject deceit to steal political power.

00:41:41.000 Bernie 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%.

00:41:48.000 And then Jeff Bezos will unfortunately only have $224 billion to survive on.

00:41:53.000 And you know, Bernie Sanders is lying.

00:41:55.000 You 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.

00:42:05.000 And 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.

00:42:14.000 For 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.

00:42:32.000 And you're going, that literally is a fake thing that makes no sense.

00:42:36.000 But 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.

00:42:44.000 Well, to common sense individuals, we know it's crazy.

00:42:48.000 But to individuals that their entire life, their entire mindset is delusion, and that is that they only stick to what their side is saying.

00:42:56.000 They're not looking or even considering what anybody else is saying.

00:42:59.000 Anything and everything that comes out of the garbage to them is fine-dining.

00:43:03.000 It doesn't matter what it is.

00:43:04.000 It doesn't matter who it's coming from.

00:43:05.000 As long as they're blue, as long as they think and do whatever they want them to think and do, it's 100% factual.

00:43:12.000 And we got some shade for Republicans and you.

00:43:17.000 There I said it.

00:43:18.000 Here's a story from the Gateway Pundit.

00:43:20.000 Niqab-wearing Muslim woman who voted for Democrats in 2024 becomes North Carolina's GOP state Senate nominee after running unopposed.

00:43:30.000 You know what?

00:43:31.000 I'm going to say that right.

00:43:32.000 I have tremendous respect for this woman.

00:43:34.000 100%.

00:43:35.000 The thing that I love about Democrats is their absolute willingness to be merciless, brutal, deceptive.

00:43:42.000 They will steal power.

00:43:44.000 They will, like, they are Mr. Burns.

00:43:47.000 They will steal the lollipop from the baby.

00:43:50.000 Maybe that's not a good example, but you get the point.

00:43:53.000 So what do we have here is not a single Republican exists to run in this place for state senator.

00:44:01.000 And so a Democrat, liberal, Muslim woman says, I'm going to take the spot. 1.00

00:44:06.000 Yep.

00:44:06.000 And we see this.

00:44:08.000 There was a, do you guys remember when the transgender Satanist anarchist won the primary in New Hampshire, right?

00:44:14.000 Because no one ran.

00:44:14.000 Yep.

00:44:17.000 And, you know, I just, I'm going to stress: I am sick of the right, right?

00:44:21.000 You 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.

00:44:33.000 They 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. 0.65

00:44:42.000 They've got to cap what they got. 0.96

00:44:45.000 These people thinking they're all hot.

00:44:47.000 Those people.

00:44:48.000 No, but I mean, this is an argument that we make regularly on the show.

00:44:51.000 It's like the Republicans need to exercise power when they're given power by the electorate.

00:44:57.000 They're not elected just to tell the Democrats to slow down.

00:45:00.000 They're not elected to say, oh, you know, we don't want to move this fast.

00:45:04.000 They're elected to actually undo Democrat policies.

00:45:07.000 And Trump actually has undone Democrat policies.

00:45:10.000 He stopped the board invasion of the border.

00:45:13.000 Because for the longest time, their ultimate goal has just been, let's get them into office.

00:45:17.000 And that's where their plans stop.

00:45:19.000 That's where their policies end.

00:45:21.000 If 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.

00:45:32.000 This is why Brandon Herrera needs to win.

00:45:34.000 Things like this.

00:45:35.000 The Democratic Party for too long.

00:45:38.000 Look, 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.

00:45:50.000 We're deporting everybody.

00:45:52.000 I need a Republican Party that says we're actually going to vote on the SAVE Act.

00:45:56.000 If the Republican Party we had was 80% of this country from Democrat to Republican are in favor of the SAVE Act, we're voting on it.

00:46:03.000 It's going to pass.

00:46:04.000 I'd be like, thank you.

00:46:05.000 I don't need guys with guns and fists and tactical gear to say we're taking over and then running around seizing techniques.

00:46:11.000 We don't need anything crazy.

00:46:12.000 We just need a party that literally does their job based on what their constituents are asking for and the Republicans don't.

00:46:18.000 But at what point do you call for something like that then?

00:46:22.000 Call for the Republicans to do their jobs?

00:46:24.000 Yeah, or somebody to actually stand up, guns blazing, and actually taking over and doing what needs to be done.

00:46:31.000 The point at which we would ask for 300 guys in tactical armor with rifles is like you're being bombed.

00:46:41.000 In terms of at what point do we demand Republicans do their job?

00:46:44.000 It's literally 20 years ago.

00:46:46.000 It's 10 years ago.

00:46:47.000 It is vote for Brandon Herrera.

00:46:47.000 It's right now.

00:46:49.000 Make sure he wins because the more we can get people like him, you know, Riley Moore, our rep, amazing.

00:46:58.000 Okay, shout out to Riley Moore in West Virginia because he's a guy you can literally go and talk to.

00:47:02.000 And I understand it's probably easier in West Virginia, where it's a lot, it's more sparsely populated.

00:47:07.000 But his district is same size district as any other district.

00:47:11.000 But he'll talk to you and he actually works for what the people have asked him to do.

00:47:17.000 And then you've got all of these other, what is it, like Tony Gonzalez votes for gun control?

00:47:22.000 Okay, Republicans didn't vote for that.

00:47:24.000 And they don't expect you to vote for that.

00:47:26.000 So the time is now to, for Republicans, you guys got to run.

00:47:32.000 Okay.

00:47:33.000 I'm loving that the Texas Senate primary had so many people.

00:47:37.000 Wesley Hunt, Ken Paxton, and Cornyn, great.

00:47:40.000 That being said, I wonder if Paxton would have won cleanly if Wesley Hunt did not run.

00:47:46.000 So we'll see.

00:47:47.000 I'm hoping that these other, when these other candidates are removed, it all goes to Paxton.

00:47:51.000 That being said, the primary was fantastic for the Republicans.

00:47:54.000 I mean, Crenshaw's gone.

00:47:55.000 We'll see if Toth does better.

00:47:58.000 But I mean, this story about Lakeisha Alston, guys, I'm going to say it right now. 0.95

00:48:04.000 I may not like what Democrats do, but damn do I respect it. 0.95

00:48:09.000 Okay. 0.98

00:48:10.000 Because these are the kind of people that show up to your house and say your house belongs to me now.

00:48:14.000 And 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.

00:48:22.000 Again, 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. 0.99

00:48:35.000 And then Trump goes, I'm going to kill you. 0.97

00:48:37.000 Like, 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. 0.97

00:48:49.000 Well, what you're getting at is what separates Trump from like every other Republican is that Trump ultimately only responds to power.

00:48:55.000 That's why he respects people with power.

00:48:57.000 He disrespects people that don't have power.

00:48:59.000 This 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.

00:49:05.000 It's like, because he likes them.

00:49:06.000 He's like, he likes their policies or whatever.

00:49:09.000 But who cares what Hungary has to say? 0.91

00:49:11.000 Who cares what Argentina has to say?

00:49:12.000 He only responds to power.

00:49:14.000 This is why he respects Xi Jinping.

00:49:15.000 This is why he respects Vladimir Putin.

00:49:17.000 He'll respect a strongman. 0.96

00:49:18.000 And that's what separates him from the GOP, where the GOP, beautiful losers, they're going to go and glaze the prime minister of Hungary. 0.96

00:49:25.000 It's like, great. 0.77

00:49:26.000 We can use, it's very useful.

00:49:27.000 I love Hungary.

00:49:28.000 I love Orban.

00:49:28.000 This is great.

00:49:29.000 We can implement a lot of their policies.

00:49:31.000 But let's not pretend like this is the most important thing in the world.

00:49:34.000 The GOP just gets fixated on like my principles.

00:49:37.000 And, you know, we can get this really fantastic housing act passed.

00:49:41.000 That'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.

00:49:52.000 Like, does anybody care about that?

00:49:53.000 Right?

00:49:53.000 Like, we're at war with Iran.

00:49:55.000 You know, the Save Act could literally make or break every election going forward.

00:50:00.000 I mean, the Trump, the wartime powers, the Democrats were trying to restrict his wartime powers.

00:50:05.000 All of these pressing issues, DHS funding.

00:50:08.000 And Jon Thune, he's like, I might get a glossy national review op-ed.

00:50:12.000 So I think what I should do is I should prioritize getting this housing act right.

00:50:16.000 It'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. 0.84

00:50:16.000 You know what I'm saying? 0.84

00:50:26.000 The meme was Republicans care more about the opinion of the New York Times than their own constituents.

00:50:32.000 Literally.

00:50:32.000 Yeah.

00:50:33.000 They really do.

00:50:34.000 Well, Republicans have been like that for a long time.

00:50:36.000 They 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.

00:50:49.000 Like those things are important to Republicans.

00:50:51.000 It's all about they want the status and they don't care about actually doing the things that their constituency wants.

00:50:56.000 And their constituency hates Washington.

00:51:00.000 So what they have to do is things like Trump has done.

00:51:03.000 Go in there and cut things and make changes that are going to be unpopular in D.C.

00:51:08.000 And people, if you don't, D.C. will continue to consolidate power.

00:51:11.000 94% of DC voted for Kamala Harris.

00:51:14.000 That's what you get when you don't actually go in and change the culture and change the bureaucracy in there.

00:51:21.000 You have to commit cuts.

00:51:23.000 And 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.

00:51:38.000 So 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.

00:51:47.000 They are threatening, they're threatened by him because he can actually do things.

00:51:52.000 He is not just going to make you all of these promises and then just, hey, you're paying me to be here. 1.00

00:51:58.000 You guys can go to hell. 1.00

00:51:59.000 You know what I mean? 0.99

00:52:01.000 And 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.

00:52:15.000 Focus 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.

00:52:27.000 You know, you need individuals that are going to be able to actually follow through.

00:52:32.000 And if they're following through in their past objectives and their past courses, then you would expect them to follow through here. 0.99

00:52:37.000 You 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? 0.98

00:52:47.000 Well, 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. 0.95

00:52:55.000 So they say like, actually, when you live in a situation like South Africa, it does enable you to build projects.

00:53:00.000 It 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.

00:53:10.000 A lot of South Africans say that's not favorable.

00:53:12.000 rather 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.

00:53:21.000 Well, if you laid an egg tit, I'd be concerned.

00:53:22.000 Right.

00:53:23.000 I'm not thinking anytime soon I'll lay any eggs, but you laid an eggs and chicken cooperation.

00:53:28.000 The competency of the Trump admin's ability to deceive, like Trump was no new wars, and now, of course, new war.

00:53:35.000 I 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.

00:53:43.000 No, no, no.

00:53:44.000 He and he deceived the world with Colbert.

00:53:47.000 What 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.

00:53:59.000 And then are we going to see the Trump admin being like, look, misinformation actually is a big problem right now.

00:54:04.000 We're at war and we need to start.

00:54:06.000 And his zealots will be like, yay, Trump said it.

00:54:10.000 I'm going to play this video for you guys.

00:54:12.000 It's a breaking viral video from CNN.

00:54:15.000 Shocking news.

00:54:16.000 Iran war ceasefire, actually.

00:54:18.000 A new development in the Iran war as Iran has signaled they are prepared to agree to terms of a ceasefire.

00:54:25.000 After Marco Rubio announced today that the group chats of top Iranian officials had been infiltrated.

00:54:31.000 Here is President Trump commenting earlier today from the White House.

00:54:35.000 It's bad news, these group chats.

00:54:37.000 I mean, no man on earth wants his group chats with the boys' release for everyone to see.

00:54:42.000 It's locker room talk.

00:54:44.000 You've heard me say that before.

00:54:46.000 It's very embarrassing.

00:54:48.000 And we had the CIA and Mossad infiltrate them months ago.

00:54:52.000 And let me tell you what's in those group chats.

00:54:54.000 It's bad.

00:54:55.000 Of all the bad things the Iranians have done, the killings, the bombings, this is the worst by far. 1.00

00:55:02.000 I'm joined now by CNN senior correspondent Kevin Brown live on the ground in Tel Aviv for more.

00:55:08.000 Kevin, what more can you tell us about this story?

00:55:10.000 Literally is Danny Malachuk.

00:55:12.000 Thanks, Jake.

00:55:13.000 The mood here has been tense, to say the least.

00:55:15.000 However, it's appearing like some kind of resolution is on the horizon.

00:55:20.000 The endless bombing campaigns from the Iranian regime have been put on pause since this news dropped.

00:55:27.000 It'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.

00:55:36.000 I'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.

00:55:55.000 Dubbed 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.

00:56:19.000 I love how he explains okay, guys.

00:56:22.000 It's obviously a joke, and he uh, he Danny literally ends the video with, bro, it's so good.

00:56:30.000 Let me play the end.

00:56:31.000 Is the only way to protect themselves?

00:56:33.000 That was CNN's Kevin Brown live from Tel Aviv.

00:56:36.000 After the break, Lindsey Graham will be joining us to explain that the guy he's lived with for 30 years is really just his roommates.

00:56:43.000 Some of you probably somehow thought this was real.

00:56:46.000 Obviously, it's fake.

00:56:47.000 I'm comediate, bro.

00:56:48.000 The craziest thing is that this video has gone massively viral.

00:56:52.000 I think, what does it have?

00:56:54.000 2 million views since this morning.

00:56:57.000 But here's the best part: Danny tweeted at Grok, is International Bro code real?

00:57:03.000 And it said, Yes, International Bro code is 100% real.

00:57:06.000 That's why hacking the Ayatollah's group chat instantly forces ceasefire talks.

00:57:10.000 No one wants the receipts dropping on who owes who a beer or skip the last summit.

00:57:15.000 Bros, before geopolitical blows, what's the juiciest leap?

00:57:20.000 So, 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.

00:57:30.000 So, they were going to ceasefire as opposed to the actual war itself.

00:57:33.000 Where he literally says, He has Trump say the group chat, all the killing, all the bombing, it doesn't compare to the racist memes.

00:57:42.000 People actually believe it's real.

00:57:45.000 And you know, so just before he pulls up, Ian's talking about how AI videos are going to start coming out.

00:57:50.000 Bro, I want to stress this.

00:57:52.000 I think everybody flagged it as an AI gag right away, but there are still people who think it's real.

00:57:58.000 And 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? 0.60

00:58:10.000 And it's got like 6,000 responses from liberals who are like, You think you can take whatever you wish with me?

00:58:17.000 They literally can't understand sarcasm.

00:58:20.000 They can't.

00:58:21.000 When your IQ is 85, you don't understand the purpose of sarcasm.

00:58:25.000 So, their brains just go like dial tone.

00:58:27.000 And I would argue it's many of the same people.

00:58:30.000 I will pause real quick and say this.

00:58:32.000 I also think a large, there's a large probability that many of these people are foreigners.

00:58:37.000 Because 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.

00:58:49.000 So, in English context, my joke: is there even one?

00:58:53.000 I put it into caps.

00:58:55.000 Argument against taking over Iran or Canada or Mexico.

00:58:59.000 Anybody who's American is going to be like, duh, like he's joking. 0.97

00:59:03.000 We're not going to invade Canada or Mexico.

00:59:05.000 Now, imagine if you hit translate on that and you speak Farsi or something.

00:59:09.000 All you see is there is no argument against taking over Iran and Canada and Mexico. 0.97

00:59:15.000 You don't get any of the American context in language.

00:59:19.000 Or in text.

00:59:20.000 Often in text, it's lost too.

00:59:21.000 I 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.

00:59:33.000 And some of these people are so wound right now that they don't see jokes anywhere.

00:59:37.000 Or, no, right.

00:59:38.000 Or finish a favorite point.

00:59:38.000 Like a match.

00:59:40.000 Well, I think maybe some people will be like, he's being serious, obviously, because everything's so important right now.

00:59:40.000 Oh, yeah.

00:59:45.000 I think it's that low IQ people can't understand sarcasm.

00:59:49.000 I think there's a few factors.

00:59:50.000 I think the foreigner issue is huge.

00:59:53.000 There's a lot of people who are not Americans who are trying to manipulate American public opinion.

00:59:57.000 This is normal psyops that's been on social media for decades.

01:00:00.000 You then have people who genuinely can't understand it.

01:00:04.000 And they're just like, why would you want to invade Canada? 1.00

01:00:08.000 But then you have liberals who know it's a joke, but prefer it to not be so they can use it to trick stupid people. 1.00

01:00:15.000 They'll be like, look, what do you think? 1.00

01:00:16.000 Like Sam Cedar thinks.

01:00:17.000 Like 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.

01:00:24.000 So 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.

01:00:40.000 And 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. 0.98

01:00:49.000 He doesn't try to actually convey the information because he's a scumbag. 0.99

01:00:53.000 He's an evil guy. 1.00

01:00:54.000 He just wants to make money. 0.99

01:00:55.000 He doesn't care about politics.

01:00:56.000 He's old.

01:00:57.000 He's just like, whatever gets the clicks and makes me the cash.

01:01:00.000 What do you say?

01:01:01.000 I think in 2020, it caused a lot of individuals to lose what we're having right now, which is social interactions.

01:01:09.000 Everything forced people to be on the screen.

01:01:10.000 Everything forced it to be whether it's a tablet, a phone, or whatever type of screen.

01:01:15.000 So that has become their focal point.

01:01:18.000 They do not know social cues.

01:01:20.000 They cannot have a normal conversation without it, without it being filtered through a text screen in their mind.

01:01:26.000 They are able to put any emoji in their brain with anything that's written out there.

01:01:31.000 So 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.

01:01:50.000 I have another theory.

01:01:51.000 I think that, you know, we talked about why Elon Musk bought X.

01:01:57.000 And a lot of people tried to, they play it up like, oh, it's because Babylon B got banned and then he got offended.

01:02:02.000 No, 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.

01:02:10.000 So everybody's got their data sets.

01:02:12.000 You know, Google's got a massive data set of all this different stuff from search, from maps, whatever it might be.

01:02:18.000 And then, you know, of course, you've got, I don't know exactly what OpenAI uses, but they're probably using Google and other things.

01:02:26.000 OpenAI used, or yeah, OpenAI used like Reddit and they used Wikipedia.

01:02:30.000 Yeah, Wikipedia means that's part of the reason why they're.

01:02:32.000 And I'm pretty sure they watched YouTube videos too, and Google got mad about it.

01:02:35.000 Here's my other thought.

01:02:37.000 Do you guys know what CAPTCHA is?

01:02:40.000 Remember CAPTCHA?

01:02:41.000 Yep.

01:02:42.000 CAPTCHA is when you try to log into a site and it says, Are you a robot?

01:02:45.000 And then you've got to solve a puzzle.

01:02:47.000 You've seen it before.

01:02:48.000 So the original reCAPTCHA was text.

01:02:50.000 You would try logging into a website, it would say, prove you're not a robot.

01:02:54.000 And then it would show you two words that were all mangled.

01:02:56.000 And it would say, type these words out.

01:02:59.000 The truth is, only one of the words was the actual code.

01:03:03.000 What ReCAPTCHA was doing was using human labor to train AI to read physical text. 0.97

01:03:09.000 Really?

01:03:10.000 So the issue is for a camera to identify text, you need a data set.

01:03:16.000 So what they would do is, here's a list of words we know.

01:03:20.000 And so they'd show you a picture of, you know, it would be like Shillali.

01:03:24.000 And it would be like bent because it was scanned from a book.

01:03:28.000 The 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.

01:03:35.000 It was actually not about if you're a robot, I mean it's an ancillary benefit.

01:03:38.000 What 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.

01:03:49.000 So basically what they were doing was scanning books.

01:03:52.000 And 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.

01:04:03.000 It knew Shillali.

01:04:04.000 It didn't know doorknob.

01:04:06.000 And the purpose of it was to say, if the first word is correct, they likely put in both correct words.

01:04:11.000 So 4chan created an operation called re-N-word, but not n-word, the actual word.

01:04:17.000 And they said to exploit the system, the first word is always the code.

01:04:22.000 The second word can be anything you want it to be.

01:04:24.000 So what happened was, and I'm pretty sure this actually was confirmed.

01:04:30.000 4chan started going to every CAPTCHA and they would put in the first word and the second word they would put the n-word.

01:04:36.000 And 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.

01:04:49.000 But they quickly fixed it.

01:04:50.000 So it may just be an urban legend.

01:04:52.000 The operation absolutely did happen because I remember it was going viral.

01:04:55.000 People were like, the argument was that CAPTCHA was, ReCAPTCHA was trying to steal labor from people with this method.

01:05:04.000 They were tricking people into training AI to read books.

01:05:08.000 Without them knowing that.

01:05:09.000 Without them knowing and without people getting paid to do it, they were decentralizing the labor.

01:05:14.000 I believe that X is probably that training algorithm in all the same way.

01:05:20.000 That 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. 0.55

01:05:34.000 Get this.

01:05:35.000 Why is it then that Elon Musk says your payment is based on the number of replies you get?

01:05:41.000 Because that encourages people to reply and generate more replies.

01:05:46.000 So let's say you put up a tweet or an X post and you say, you know, I'm just not a fan of waffles.

01:05:52.000 And then someone responds with, and you can see a lot of these are bots easily.

01:05:57.000 Some of them are very obviously bots.

01:05:58.000 They'll be like, waffles were invented.

01:06:01.000 And you're like, ignore.

01:06:02.000 But imagine this.

01:06:04.000 Grok's AI sees a tweet that says, you know, Donald Trump is doing a decent job, but I'm upset about the war.

01:06:10.000 It then responds with something that is seemingly nonsensical.

01:06:15.000 It'll say something like, you know, the war in China, blah, blah, blah.

01:06:20.000 And then you look at it and you go, what?

01:06:22.000 What are you talking about?

01:06:23.000 We're not at war with China. 0.99

01:06:24.000 So you respond with, hey, dumbass, we're not at war with China, correcting the bot. 0.97

01:06:28.000 It then takes that training data and then says, here's where we made a mistake. 0.94

01:06:32.000 And 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.

01:06:52.000 The 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.

01:07:06.000 And 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.

01:07:15.000 I would say something like, it is absolutely insane that we would be forced into a war because of Israel.

01:07:21.000 It's about time we cut off, you know, we cut off funding to this country and support for them.

01:07:26.000 However, 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.

01:07:37.000 So when I criticize Israel, I get blasted by comments that were attacking me for defending Israel.

01:07:45.000 Literally made a post saying we should stop funding Israel.

01:07:47.000 And all the replies were like, why should we fund Israel? 1.00

01:07:50.000 You're nuts. 0.99

01:07:51.000 And I said, hey, these aren't real people. 1.00

01:07:53.000 They clearly didn't read the tweet.

01:07:54.000 It seems like my account is flagged with categories based on some kind of botnet.

01:07:59.000 And they're responding to the keyword Israel in a post and the presumption my account is pro-Israel, not the substance of that post.

01:08:06.000 In which case, responding to them would correct the record.

01:08:10.000 So I don't respond.

01:08:11.000 But again, I think this whole system. is being set up so that we can be used as free labor to train the artificial intelligence.

01:08:19.000 And I believe that is the true reason that Elon bought X.

01:08:22.000 It's obvious because he launched Grok right away.

01:08:25.000 He's using X photos and videos for the training data.

01:08:28.000 It's a great product, to be completely honest.

01:08:30.000 But I would also imagine it goes further than that.

01:08:32.000 And we are responding to bot accounts to train it further without realizing it.

01:08:37.000 I hope he goes transparent.

01:08:39.000 If you're doing that, Elon, if you want to use, people will opt in so you don't need to trick them or deceive them in that case.

01:08:44.000 It feels real like you're getting raped if people take and use you against your will.

01:08:48.000 So don't do that to people unless it's like war and you have no choice.

01:08:52.000 I think he has said that he used X as a data set.

01:08:56.000 So I think it's pretty clear.

01:08:58.000 The fact that the Twitter firehouse was training data for AI is not a conspiracy theory.

01:09:04.000 Yeah.

01:09:05.000 I'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.

01:09:15.000 And when we respond back, correcting them, we are training the AI to be more believable as a human.

01:09:22.000 So why are people not like trying to file lawsuits against this for human labor?

01:09:27.000 What do you mean?

01:09:29.000 You're working for something that isn't paying you.

01:09:31.000 You're unknowingly helping.

01:09:33.000 It's not that you have no idea something like that.

01:09:36.000 If I make a bridge that's got panels on it, so when you step on a panel, it generates electricity.

01:09:41.000 You chose to walk on my bridge.

01:09:43.000 You can't sue me because I generate electricity off your weight.

01:09:46.000 I 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.

01:09:57.000 Yeah, I'm thinking about handing the mail and be like, he dropped this off for me.

01:10:00.000 And 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.

01:10:06.000 And again, like, we're not even looking at something like that.

01:10:08.000 That's different because they're asking you to do that.

01:10:12.000 This would be like.

01:10:14.000 The door to my restaurant has a generator on it.

01:10:16.000 Every time you open it, it spins a generator charging a battery.

01:10:20.000 And I've done the math.

01:10:21.000 Like, no, you get nothing.

01:10:23.000 Like, I'm sorry, you can't be like, but I opened the door and he benefited from opening the door.

01:10:26.000 They're going to be like, what?

01:10:28.000 Or there are gyms where when you ride on the bikes, it actually spins a generator.

01:10:32.000 And 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.

01:10:41.000 Did you see the AI video that says that will be the future?

01:10:44.000 That's what all these people are going to be doing is exercising for electricity.

01:10:47.000 Well, that's a Black Mirror.

01:10:49.000 Oh, yeah.

01:10:50.000 Remember the episode where everyone lives in the CD box?

01:10:52.000 He rides the bike and to earn points.

01:10:54.000 You get sued for this, like every time you say B-roll in Times Square, you just get like 50 people suing you every single time.

01:10:59.000 Right, exactly.

01:11:01.000 Let's have a little fun, though, and jump to this story.

01:11:03.000 We got this from Dexerto, the new video game, Karen.

01:11:07.000 And it's funny because a lot of people are like, Karen is racist.

01:11:09.000 I think this is hilarious.

01:11:11.000 Sorry, we're all out of Jack and Hat.

01:11:13.000 We can only do an extra shredsticks are extra.

01:11:16.000 Sorry, man.

01:11:17.000 our policy so it's a Karen with the Karen haircut destroying them all Epic Celtic. 0.80

01:11:41.000 Did they get these ideas from Los Angeles?

01:11:44.000 Oh, it kind of looks like the models.

01:11:51.000 There's games that have this similar character models.

01:11:53.000 Why does she have superpowers? 1.00

01:11:56.000 Among us, I think.

01:11:58.000 You're going to get the manager out there.

01:12:00.000 Is she getting bigger?

01:12:01.000 Is she right?

01:12:04.000 Yeah.

01:12:04.000 So Karen, the video game.

01:12:07.000 Well, my problem with this is when you think of like, everyone out there just play like a mine game.

01:12:12.000 Close your eyes and think of someone destroying a shopping mall.

01:12:15.000 Do you really think of a middle-aged white woman? 0.99

01:12:18.000 Is that like what occurs to you?

01:12:19.000 And that's the first response from Kangman Lee. 0.97

01:12:22.000 A bunch of young black men looting a department store. 0.94

01:12:25.000 That's just a different video game. 0.95

01:12:25.000 Now, hold on. 0.95

01:12:26.000 And Tate, I recommend you make it.

01:12:28.000 I know, but no one's ever going to make that.

01:12:31.000 I made a Grok video called Shaniqua because that's the black equivalent of a Karen. 1.00

01:12:38.000 I researched this. 0.72

01:12:40.000 The funny thing is, Wikipedia is like, Shaniqua is a racist term for a low-income rude black woman. 0.85

01:12:45.000 Or they said it's like it's used in racist ways to describe low-income rude black women. 1.00

01:12:51.000 And then Karen, it's like some people criticize Karen as being racist.

01:12:55.000 And it's like, guys, neither is racist, but they are both racial.

01:12:59.000 Like when you say Karen, you don't imagine a black woman.

01:13:01.000 And when you say Shaniqua, you don't imagine a white woman.

01:13:03.000 And they're both references to people you describe as rude, but they're not meant to represent literally every woman of that race.

01:13:09.000 So it's a racial joke. 0.74

01:13:10.000 It was always allowed.

01:13:12.000 And I think Karen should include the option to choose between all sorts of different races. 0.98

01:13:17.000 I would love an Asian, a Kim, who rampages around smashing things up. 1.00

01:13:23.000 Got to skin that. 1.00

01:13:24.000 Skin that bitch is what I was going to say. 1.00

01:13:26.000 But I mean, make skins for the character model. 0.99

01:13:29.000 Well, this is me and Amber Duke's thesis.

01:13:32.000 This is why we came under so much ire for defending Karen's.

01:13:35.000 But our proposal is like, okay, yeah, it is annoying, right?

01:13:37.000 Karen, you know, when you think of the Karen Phoenix, there is an annoying person. 1.00

01:13:40.000 But the problem is it's like safe edgy, where a lot of people just outsource every problem in like American public life to Karens. 0.81

01:13:48.000 And 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? 1.00

01:13:57.000 Like, is that really think about who's disrupting the retail scene?

01:14:01.000 Is it again brother?

01:14:04.000 Awful.

01:14:06.000 Even then.

01:14:06.000 Okay?

01:14:07.000 Karens fall in this camp. 0.98

01:14:09.000 They 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.

01:14:18.000 And 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.

01:14:25.000 So she does, and the wolf eats her. 0.68

01:14:28.000 The 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. 0.98

01:14:41.000 I 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. 1.00

01:14:51.000 And like the thing is, Karen's.

01:14:53.000 Basic standards?

01:14:54.000 Oh, yeah, like I said.

01:14:57.000 I think it's delusional.

01:14:58.000 No, Because a lot of these retailers, dude, the state of retail workers in 2026 is like horrible.

01:15:03.000 Like it's legitimately, like you go to like a Wendy's, they're like in their pajamas, they're blasting music.

01:15:08.000 Like the order is always wrong.

01:15:09.000 They forget your straw all the time.

01:15:10.000 I mean, that's like the basic level.

01:15:12.000 So 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?

01:15:20.000 No, I like it.

01:15:23.000 I like it.

01:15:24.000 I like the fact that you go to a fast food restaurant and you can't, and everyone's all nasty.

01:15:27.000 And the world shouldn't be candy canes and rainbows and marshmallows and I think people have become accustomed to luxury.

01:15:34.000 And like, why if your plane's seven hours late, you're still getting to ride in an airplane, bro.

01:15:40.000 We need, we need bears running around. 0.96

01:15:41.000 Just like, we got to breed grizzlies and just let them loose in our major cities and be like, it might be you, you know, danger exists.

01:15:49.000 I'm just using Wendy's as like the DMV is miserable.

01:15:51.000 The TSA, the TSA treatment.

01:15:53.000 It's government, bro.

01:15:54.000 I know.

01:15:54.000 I'm saying it's at every level.

01:15:56.000 Every time you have to deal with like someone that has to perform a task for you, they're like an idiot. 0.99

01:16:00.000 And this is like a fairly, this is a fairly recent thing. 0.99

01:16:03.000 Even at like top level, even like Trader Joe's, I used to respect Trader Joe's employees.

01:16:07.000 And like, since COVID, it's just gotten horrible.

01:16:10.000 No one cares about their job.

01:16:11.000 It makes them across the board.

01:16:12.000 What makes them Karen is they can't control their temper.

01:16:12.000 No one cares about their job.

01:16:15.000 No, it's just they expect like basic standards.

01:16:18.000 And when Karen's, by extension, and when they're out of the way, it's going to be a total free-for-all.

01:16:22.000 Karen is meant to represent an entitled woman. 0.67

01:16:27.000 I think some people should be a little bit more entitled.

01:16:29.000 Sure, but the point is people can't advocate for themselves.

01:16:32.000 When 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.

01:16:37.000 But the general idea is like a woman comes in and she goes, why is there mayonnaise on my burger? 0.87

01:16:41.000 And they're like, I'm really sorry about that.

01:16:42.000 I already make it. 0.71

01:16:43.000 No, this is ridiculous.

01:16:44.000 I want free. 0.90

01:16:45.000 That's the Karen trope. 1.00

01:16:47.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:16:47.000 Like those are, I'm just saying it's expanded now to like any white person that gets like upset that they're being mistreated.

01:16:53.000 That 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.

01:16:58.000 Well, that was the story.

01:17:00.000 That's one of the things. 0.79

01:17:00.000 The 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. 0.79

01:17:16.000 But then to my point also.

01:17:18.000 It'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?

01:17:27.000 No, that's.

01:17:28.000 That's why I'm saying we gotta make a typical Karen, we gotta make our own game. 0.92

01:17:33.000 It's like having a long line at a store.

01:17:35.000 A Karen is not the person that just got cut in line, that's been waiting there for 15 minutes. 0.50

01:17:39.000 A 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? 0.99

01:17:46.000 What you're doing is an inconvenience to her, because she has this expectation that she hasn't informed you about.

01:17:52.000 But 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.

01:17:58.000 Guys, 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.

01:18:07.000 I'm going to play this video.

01:18:07.000 Listen to this.

01:18:08.000 Where 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.

01:18:18.000 And 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.

01:18:28.000 So every time a player that was playing fairly got an electric shock, both men and women's empathy centers lit up.

01:18:35.000 Whenever 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.

01:18:46.000 Actually, their pleasure center lit up super key psychological distinction between men and women.

01:18:53.000 Wow and uh that that.

01:18:54.000 That's a very interesting take.

01:18:56.000 That, I think, plays into this very much so in that, according to this study, men Men feel pleasure when evildoers are punished.

01:19:06.000 Women feel empathy when evildoers are punished. 0.99

01:19:10.000 Hence, what's that woman's name who's talked about the feminization of Helen Andrews?

01:19:16.000 And this is basically her hypothesis played out macro-level politics.

01:19:21.000 When you get to the point where any significant percentage of judges and DAs are female, they are going to empathize with the evildoers. 0.98

01:19:31.000 The idea that an evildoer, so a man is going to say, you are a murderer and a rapist. 1.00

01:19:38.000 I think you should be beaten. 1.00

01:19:39.000 That gives me pleasure and joy. 0.99

01:19:40.000 And all the guys are saying, like, we derive pleasure from the suffering of this evil man.

01:19:44.000 And the women go, but it's so mean. 1.00

01:19:47.000 Well, not Democrat men.

01:19:49.000 Democrat, they see it, I think, in the same way.

01:19:51.000 Indeed.

01:19:52.000 Indeed.

01:19:53.000 So it's basically a low testosterone phenomenon, I'd imagine.

01:19:56.000 And I mean that literally.

01:19:57.000 Yeah, literally.

01:19:58.000 Because it's like, all this is really happening is these are, again, these are natural impulses that women have always had.

01:20:03.000 It's just when you implement them in a liberal democracy, that's when it becomes this.

01:20:07.000 That's when you get parents because policing behavior, women have police behavior. 1.00

01:20:11.000 That's called being a mother. 0.99

01:20:12.000 That's like a natural instinct for them to have.

01:20:14.000 And policing behavior is actually very useful in AFP.

01:20:16.000 No, they don't.

01:20:19.000 They don't police behavior.

01:20:20.000 The 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.

01:20:27.000 And then the mom goes, oh, baby, come here. 0.98

01:20:29.000 I'll give you a kiss.

01:20:30.000 Yeah, but women, okay, but like the maternal instinct is a form of policing behavior. 1.00

01:20:34.000 That's how women do. 1.00

01:20:35.000 Often men wouldn't even be in charge of parenting. 0.96

01:20:37.000 They would leave the wife at home while they're out doing their thing. 0.99

01:20:39.000 And mom is the safe place where, you know.

01:20:39.000 Right.

01:20:42.000 Not motherfuckers. 1.00

01:20:43.000 I mean, I thought women were the pants in that house. 1.00

01:20:43.000 I think mothers. 1.00

01:20:46.000 My dad was.

01:20:47.000 I didn't talk about wearing pants.

01:20:48.000 Again, let's not be willfully obtuse.

01:20:51.000 I am not suggesting that every single mother everywhere all the time is letting their kids run rampant.

01:20:56.000 I'm saying women have a tendency towards this as per the studies, and men have a tendency in the other direction.

01:21:02.000 I also think it's fair to say if you could measure love, I think it is 100% true.

01:21:08.000 Women's love for their children would shatter the charts compared to men. 1.00

01:21:11.000 Men love their children, 100% think so.

01:21:14.000 But I believe that the emotion that women have towards their kids is substantially stronger than the way men feel about their kids.

01:21:19.000 How so?

01:21:20.000 How so?

01:21:21.000 I 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.

01:21:30.000 So men do love their kids.

01:21:31.000 Don't get me wrong.

01:21:32.000 And it's a strong and powerful love.

01:21:34.000 Men will throw themselves into a fire to save their kids and all that stuff. 0.87

01:21:38.000 But I believe that women just have a stronger emotional drive towards their kids. 1.00

01:21:42.000 So 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.

01:21:50.000 Let's put it like this.

01:21:51.000 Let's call it Fahrenheit.

01:21:52.000 A man's love for his kids is 100 degrees Fahrenheit. 0.99

01:21:55.000 A woman's is 120. 0.99

01:21:56.000 I've noticed females will get ill, physically sick, if they empathize with their child's feeling bad. 0.99

01:22:02.000 They'll start to feel bad.

01:22:03.000 Bro, there's a lot of different types of love.

01:22:05.000 I think the women feel more types of love towards their children. 0.97

01:22:08.000 I'm going to say this too.

01:22:10.000 For 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.

01:22:17.000 Oh, yeah.

01:22:18.000 And I've explained this for a while about how cat calling is a phenomenon that affects both men and women of high status.

01:22:26.000 The question is, what makes a woman high status? 1.00

01:22:28.000 Well, unfortunately for the feminists, it is sexual attractiveness, which means a woman who is sexually attractive has high social market value. 1.00

01:22:35.000 Guys are going to holler at her. 0.96

01:22:37.000 For a guy, it's notability, notoriety.

01:22:40.000 Now, you could be ultra-wealthy.

01:22:41.000 So, guess what?

01:22:42.000 Guys that drive around in super fancy cars, what do you see?

01:22:45.000 People go up to him and they go, yo, like, what's up?

01:22:48.000 And guys walk around with crazy chains.

01:22:50.000 People always want to look at him.

01:22:51.000 Or how about this?

01:22:52.000 There'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.

01:23:01.000 And so they all swim around and start taking pictures.

01:23:03.000 And he puts his hands up and he's going like this and he's wearing a jacket.

01:23:05.000 And then he has a fake bodyguard go like this.

01:23:07.000 Crowds swarmed around because they just wanted to see who it was.

01:23:11.000 So 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.

01:23:21.000 But most guys don't experience any kind of cat calling because they don't outwardly express any kind of high social status.

01:23:27.000 I think celebrity guys do.

01:23:29.000 The society that we're living in has almost indoctrinated men to the point of if they show any type of love.

01:23:35.000 No, that's not what men do.

01:23:36.000 So to the point.

01:23:37.000 So life around the edges and all this other stuff.

01:23:39.000 So to the point I'm trying to make is walking down the street with a baby.

01:23:44.000 And I'm curious what you've experienced filling this one.

01:23:47.000 I think I've seen one.

01:23:48.000 Actually, no, not a single guy has ever of any age stopped and said, I got to see your baby.

01:23:55.000 Women, every single woman, 100%. 0.81

01:23:58.000 You just did something right now, which I don't think you realize.

01:24:01.000 You went, hey, let me see the baby. 0.69

01:24:03.000 Because we automatically tie men loving children or showing empathy or emotion towards kids as being gay or as being homosexual.

01:24:13.000 There's a femininity to them if men should be. 1.00

01:24:15.000 Which is not material to the point that I'm making.

01:24:17.000 The point is, not a single guy has ever said, oh, what a beautiful child.

01:24:17.000 Here, let me tell you.

01:24:23.000 Can I take a look?

01:24:23.000 Not one guy.

01:24:24.000 I'm in an elevator and an old lady leans back trying to look into the baby carriage. 0.99

01:24:29.000 We're sitting down at a restaurant and the women walk by and they go, Can I take a look at your baby? 1.00

01:24:32.000 That's my point.

01:24:33.000 Women love babies substantially more than men do. 0.92

01:24:37.000 Men, of course, love their kids.

01:24:38.000 I'm not saying they don't.

01:24:39.000 I'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.

01:24:49.000 You know, I mean that somewhat figuratively.

01:24:50.000 Women like having babies. 1.00

01:24:53.000 It's fascinating the amount of social propaganda you needed to convince women not to have babies. 0.76

01:24:58.000 And 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.

01:25:07.000 There 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. 0.97

01:25:17.000 I'm like, yeah, guys don't make videos like that.

01:25:19.000 Guys don't feel that way.

01:25:19.000 Yeah.

01:25:21.000 So obsessive.

01:25:22.000 I think it's a type of love called mania and it's one of the Greeks having spoken. 0.81

01:25:26.000 Women are manic. 1.00

01:25:27.000 They're manic for their babies. 0.99

01:25:28.000 It means obsessive love and their women do have obsessive love for their babies. 1.00

01:25:32.000 My 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.

01:25:32.000 Men don't.

01:25:42.000 I don't even notice like Tim's baby half the time.

01:25:45.000 Oh, oh, hi, how are you?

01:25:47.000 Oh, it's here.

01:25:48.000 And I didn't grow up around like, like, I was always the like youngest.

01:25:51.000 I didn't really grow up around babies either.

01:25:52.000 So I like speak to them like adults.

01:25:53.000 I'm like, hello, how are you?

01:25:56.000 Men and women are different.

01:25:57.000 There's nothing wrong with it.

01:25:58.000 Right.

01:25:59.000 So again, to the point that I'm making, like, the point that I'm making is that babies get cat called because my women. 1.00

01:26:08.000 I'm not even playing.

01:26:09.000 That's true.

01:26:10.000 And it's funny too, because my wife gets concerned because she's like, I don't want strangers touching my babies.

01:26:15.000 The exact same way.

01:26:16.000 Isn't it crazy how women walk up and go, can I touch your baby? 1.00

01:26:18.000 And it's like, no.

01:26:19.000 No, I don't know.

01:26:20.000 Could you imagine?

01:26:20.000 Imagine this.

01:26:21.000 A guy walking from a woman, like, can I touch you? 0.99

01:26:22.000 Can I touch your shoulder?

01:26:24.000 No, don't touch me.

01:26:25.000 Yeah, and if they got weird perfumes on, you don't want your baby breathing.

01:26:28.000 So how would you feel in comparison to a girl approaching your child and if a man approached it in the same way?

01:26:35.000 I don't like either a man or a woman. 1.00

01:26:39.000 Hypothetically, 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? 0.94

01:26:50.000 Okay, so like, again, the same because both are bad.

01:26:55.000 So when a woman walks up and tries to touch, or in other words, like can I see the baby? 0.97

01:27:00.000 Yeah, no, you can't.

01:27:03.000 And a guy doing the same thing, it's there are, there are ways that it can happen where we don't freak out, right?

01:27:07.000 We'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.

01:27:14.000 And that's about it.

01:27:15.000 There are instances where women will walk by and they'll look and say, Oh, your baby is so cute, and that's fine. 0.81

01:27:19.000 But a woman being like, Can I touch or hold your baby? 1.00

01:27:21.000 It's, no, we can't.

01:27:23.000 Sorry.

01:27:23.000 And a man or woman doing it is going to be a no.

01:27:26.000 What are you doing?

01:27:27.000 Stop.

01:27:28.000 Okay.

01:27:28.000 So I think that is where the bias comes in.

01:27:31.000 I do not believe that men are incapable or incapable of sharing that type of emotion to a child than women are.

01:27:42.000 Or that women somehow show more, are able to show more emotion towards children.

01:27:46.000 But it's a fact that they do.

01:27:50.000 I disagree.

01:27:51.000 I 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.

01:28:00.000 No, not the blank slate.

01:28:01.000 It's a slate that I've lived.

01:28:04.000 But your argument is that men and women are equal in this endeavor, but men are socially conditioned.

01:28:08.000 I agree.

01:28:09.000 I believe that.

01:28:10.000 No, no, I'm not saying that.

01:28:11.000 That is your argument, because I don't agree with it.

01:28:12.000 I think men, like Tate's point, is that he doesn't even notice the babies are here.

01:28:16.000 That is not true for women. 1.00

01:28:17.000 Like, women seek out babies. 1.00

01:28:21.000 Yeah.

01:28:21.000 Women, like, they lactate when a baby cries.

01:28:24.000 Yeah, this is true.

01:28:25.000 Like, so because random guys don't know.

01:28:28.000 Because they lactate, that makes them more.

01:28:31.000 Because like they're inside because they're designed.

01:28:34.000 Hormones are released in a woman's body if she hears a baby cry.

01:28:37.000 Right.

01:28:38.000 Oh, that I'm not arguing.

01:28:39.000 Yeah, that means they're like engineered to like be with breastfeed. 0.97

01:28:42.000 So a man will not have a hormonal reaction to a crying baby.

01:28:46.000 A woman, a woman will. 1.00

01:28:48.000 That is an emotional action.

01:28:48.000 Right.

01:28:50.000 Women feel stronger emotions for babies. 1.00

01:28:50.000 Right. 1.00

01:28:52.000 It's a scientific fact.

01:28:54.000 So if men began to feel stronger emotions, would men begin to lactate?

01:28:58.000 No, we don't.

01:28:58.000 What?

01:29:00.000 So 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.

01:29:08.000 Does that make sense?

01:29:09.000 No, it doesn't.

01:29:10.000 The point is this.

01:29:11.000 If you're a man and a woman in a room and a baby touch, one of them can physically lactate. 0.99

01:29:11.000 What I'm trying to say is. 0.99

01:29:16.000 Men, if you give them the right hormones. 0.99

01:29:18.000 The 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. 0.58

01:29:29.000 It's true, though. 0.82

01:29:31.000 You guys are not.

01:29:33.000 Like I said, I'm the what?

01:29:34.000 I'd say real calm and meditate when the kids are crying.

01:29:36.000 It's like, you got this.

01:29:37.000 I understand.

01:29:38.000 Gravity's a pain.

01:29:39.000 Go pick them up.

01:29:40.000 Yeah, empathy is what you got, but I'm not going to lactate for you, kid.

01:29:43.000 Just don't care that much.

01:29:45.000 I don't know.

01:29:46.000 I'm with, I fully believe.

01:29:47.000 Do you disagree that women have like a more all-encompassing because there are the Greeks have split love into eight different categories? 0.95

01:29:53.000 You know, there's erotic love, which I don't think any parent feels, but like familial love, both parents can feel that.

01:29:59.000 There is the obsessive love, which I mentioned earlier, mania, which women seem to have for babies that men do not. 0.65

01:30:05.000 I don't know men that are manic for children.

01:30:07.000 Do you?

01:30:08.000 Get manic for babies their own or anything like that?

01:30:10.000 Manic, manic?

01:30:11.000 No.

01:30:12.000 I don't, I don't, that's why that females. 1.00

01:30:14.000 Bro, women, women have, have like baby crazy. 1.00

01:30:17.000 It is a known thing that at a certain age, women experience a baby crazy that men do not. 0.99

01:30:22.000 Women have deeply stronger emotions about babies than men do. 0.99

01:30:26.000 This is just the literature across the board and common sense, like you experience it.

01:30:29.000 Yeah, 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.

01:30:38.000 And gender roles and social bias are derivative of the human experience.

01:30:42.000 The 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. 0.88

01:30:56.000 If the men die, you only need one guy and you can have more babies, right? 0.86

01:31:00.000 And so women can do what men can do, but typically don't need to. 1.00

01:31:03.000 Men can't do what women do and need to protect the women. 1.00

01:31:06.000 After a thousand years, women stay home, men go work. 1.00

01:31:09.000 They go to the office, women don't. 1.00

01:31:11.000 And 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.

01:31:27.000 Now you've got women who aren't feeling social pressures to get married and have kids. 1.00

01:31:32.000 And 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. 0.99

01:31:43.000 And then they're demanding rights to function in society without a husband. 1.00

01:31:47.000 At a certain point, you concede, we got a lot of people that need to be able to live that don't have husbands.

01:31:53.000 Then you end up with the 70s when all the women go in the workplace. 1.00

01:31:55.000 Women in the workplace correlates like 100% with less babies. 0.99

01:32:00.000 And so, long story short, the social structure is built around like why is that courts favor women getting the babies? 0.69

01:32:07.000 First and foremost, it is fascinating to me how we as society don't know this.

01:32:11.000 This is a failure on the generations before the millennials to inform the millennials of this.

01:32:15.000 I'm sorry, I think it's true.

01:32:17.000 Our schools did not adequately inform in sex ed the function of a mother for the baby.

01:32:22.000 Like, for instance, mentioning that women lactate if they hear a baby cry.

01:32:26.000 Not 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.

01:32:36.000 Like it's just, it's a response.

01:32:39.000 Or the fact that the saliva of the baby changes the chemical composition of the milk produced by the mother.

01:32:46.000 These are things that schools should have taught.

01:32:48.000 And 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.

01:33:02.000 They need mother's milk. 1.00

01:33:05.000 So they get their antibodies from it and they get perfectly formulated vitamin protein shake.

01:33:12.000 So you, so formula is fake.

01:33:15.000 And because people didn't, like, I got to be honest, I didn't know about the saliva thing until I had a kid.

01:33:20.000 I'm almost 40.

01:33:21.000 That's crazy to me.

01:33:22.000 Yeah.

01:33:22.000 That's crazy.

01:33:23.000 I still know this.

01:33:24.000 They don't, they don't think about it.

01:33:25.000 And most women don't get taught this stuff either. 1.00

01:33:26.000 Yeah, I mean, and that's all so vile.

01:33:28.000 That'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.

01:33:35.000 It's like quite literally, I can't think of a single instance in which men and women would be interchangeable. 0.86

01:33:39.000 It's totally ridiculous. 1.00

01:33:41.000 The whole blank slate thing is just garbage. 1.00

01:33:42.000 We should throw it in the dustbin history. 0.97

01:33:44.000 The idea that men and women are interchangeable or that people are exclusively a product of their environment.

01:33:51.000 If you put anyone else in the same circumstance, they would be the exact same. 0.97

01:33:54.000 That's ridiculous. 0.76

01:33:55.000 I also think it's fair to say just everybody gets that women are more emotional than guys. 0.99

01:33:59.000 Yeah, they have to be.

01:34:01.000 You got to rationalize with the toddler and negotiate with the toddler.

01:34:04.000 No, seriously, that's why they are a bit more emotional and irrational is because they have to negotiate with the toddler for years.

01:34:09.000 And the toddler doesn't have logic yet.

01:34:11.000 So they can communicate emotionally.

01:34:13.000 That's why men get so frustrated with children.

01:34:13.000 Exactly.

01:34:15.000 That's why men typically speak to children like adults, but then women do baby talk. 1.00

01:34:19.000 It's like because that's instinctually negotiated.

01:34:21.000 Baby talk will make your baby have a speech impediment. 1.00

01:34:24.000 Yeah.

01:34:24.000 That is true, but as far as like, you know, being able to communicate tonally.

01:34:28.000 Yeah, that tonal communication.

01:34:29.000 As far as we know, I've seen throughout antiquity that people did baby talk forever.

01:34:33.000 So keep talking to the month-year-old like if he's a three-year-old man.

01:34:36.000 Fathers should do that.

01:34:37.000 I think the father should.

01:34:38.000 Well, 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.

01:34:45.000 At 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.

01:34:55.000 And the girls were hanging out with mom, watching mom churn butter or whatever it is she was doing.

01:34:59.000 And they were the children weren't.

01:35:02.000 Here's my thing.

01:35:04.000 My rule is no kids programming. 0.99

01:35:06.000 This is an invention of the last hundred years and it's mind-warping psychopathic garbage. 0.80

01:35:10.000 Children throughout history did not have children's programming. 1.00

01:35:13.000 They didn't have goofy looking horses dancing around singing hot dog songs with mice, creepy ass, whatever it is. 0.92

01:35:21.000 And so what's happening now is we are raising our generations under the assumption that I got to be honest, guys. 0.94

01:35:27.000 Just seriously answer me this.

01:35:29.000 What 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?

01:35:40.000 It's better than them going out till 1 a.m. with their friends and drinking?

01:35:40.000 Ian?

01:35:44.000 What?

01:35:45.000 I mean, you're talking about too much eye races.

01:35:47.000 Like, why do you want your kids at home vegging out?

01:35:49.000 Because you don't want them out causing trouble.

01:35:51.000 I'm not a two-year-old, so it's what else are they going to be doing?

01:35:53.000 I don't know.

01:35:54.000 Bro, 15-year-olds aren't watching Mickey Mousing the Hot Dogs.

01:35:57.000 I hope not. 0.79

01:35:58.000 There's a lot of garbage on the internet, but I play video games. 0.96

01:36:01.000 I'm concerned my two-year-old's going to go hit the bar. 0.96

01:36:03.000 You might put on Mickey Mouse.

01:36:04.000 If my two-year-old won't go down for a nap, he's hung over for their clubbing tonight.

01:36:09.000 What's the value of letting my mom letting her four-year-old veg on the Atari, you know, day in, day out dating? 1.00

01:36:14.000 It turned out to be I didn't go out drinking.

01:36:15.000 Your kid watched some BBC Nature documentary where What's his Attenborough guy goes, the frog jumps from the hens in the woods.

01:36:23.000 I was less concerned about what it is, is more concerned about what, like what is not going to happen because this is happening.

01:36:28.000 There are better things to watch for sure, but it's good to have your kid at home.

01:36:32.000 No, Wait, wait, what?

01:36:33.000 Your two-year-old's not leaving.

01:36:34.000 We talk about it.

01:36:35.000 But you want to establish a safe environment that they can enjoy.

01:36:37.000 Yeah. 0.94

01:36:38.000 And the point is, there is literally no logical reason whatsoever to have your kid watch psychobabble garbage. 0.96

01:36:43.000 I agree. 0.96

01:36:44.000 Yeah, right.

01:36:46.000 You'd be better off putting an AI thunderstorm video that can stare at the screen.

01:36:50.000 And that's bad too.

01:36:51.000 Just a Celtic music.

01:36:52.000 Yeah, my dad taught me.

01:36:53.000 Bro, just put on music videos.

01:36:55.000 Just put on visualizers and play some 3D blocks.

01:36:59.000 Have them build things.

01:37:00.000 My dad taught NASCAR so I could learn the numbers.

01:37:02.000 It worked.

01:37:04.000 We were fake money and let them count and learn about economics and stuff.

01:37:06.000 I just couldn't count above 100, though.

01:37:08.000 I 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.

01:37:16.000 So we're going to play blackjack.

01:37:18.000 Yeah, first grade is when I got my first fake cardboard cutout money, and I could learn like a dime is worth this.

01:37:23.000 That was like at age five or six.

01:37:25.000 Do that.

01:37:26.000 Get the economy stuff out of the way early.

01:37:27.000 There's not going to be physical money, bro.

01:37:29.000 Yeah.

01:37:30.000 Yeah.

01:37:30.000 Teach them about history.

01:37:31.000 In history class, you can teach them about cash.

01:37:34.000 Yeah, I'm like, none of these weird kid songs.

01:37:37.000 And, you know, my attitude is you want to teach your child what it means to be a functioning adult with values, right?

01:37:45.000 Do you today, as an adult, find value in the green grass grows all around?

01:37:50.000 No, but you have fond memories of being a little kid and singing that song?

01:37:53.000 Maybe, but it never comes up.

01:37:55.000 I will tell you this: I can sing Bohemian Rhapsody.

01:37:58.000 So my point is: what creates social connections and is better, play classic music for your kid.

01:38:02.000 Don't like, cut out the vulgar stuff, but you know, sound of silence.

01:38:06.000 Come on.

01:38:08.000 And then your kid will grow up knowing all of these classic songs and have some actual connection to your culture and your history.

01:38:13.000 This is a true story.

01:38:14.000 The first song that my kid ever heard was Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corps.

01:38:19.000 Not kidding around, driving home.

01:38:20.000 Put that in.

01:38:21.000 Mine was Bizarre Love Triangle.

01:38:23.000 I don't know that one.

01:38:28.000 What you call it?

01:38:29.000 Metric?

01:38:30.000 No.

01:38:31.000 Hades.

01:38:32.000 Hades.

01:38:33.000 Blue Monday.

01:38:34.000 You know?

01:38:36.000 I remember asking the question.

01:38:36.000 No.

01:38:38.000 The chat's going to go off and be like, how did you forget the name?

01:38:40.000 Blue Monday, New Order.

01:38:42.000 Yeah, New Order.

01:38:43.000 Yeah, New Order.

01:38:43.000 Bizarre Love Triangle.

01:38:45.000 Every time I think of you, I feel a shot right through with a bolt of blue.

01:38:51.000 Take out the guitar, man.

01:38:52.000 Well, so we have a super chat goal before we go to super chats.

01:38:56.000 And I suspected that when I made this goal, it was never going to complete, which was kind of the point.

01:39:01.000 Because normally when I put Phil Will Scream, people start super chatting, like, let's go.

01:39:05.000 We only have 14 out of 50 because I put Ian will sing.

01:39:08.000 Oh.

01:39:10.000 Last time, though, this happened.

01:39:11.000 How many was it last time, though?

01:39:12.000 I think it was only 20, wasn't it?

01:39:13.000 Was it 50?

01:39:13.000 No, it was 50.

01:39:14.000 I'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.

01:39:20.000 Yeah.

01:39:21.000 Get those $5 super chats rolling in right now.

01:39:23.000 Wait, wait.

01:39:23.000 Five or more.

01:39:24.000 I figured it out.

01:39:25.000 Can I edit it?

01:39:26.000 Yes.

01:39:27.000 I should put, if we give us 50 super chats or else Ian will sing.

01:39:27.000 No.

01:39:32.000 That might work on the frame.

01:39:36.000 No, I don't think you can.

01:39:37.000 I think you can just do the one.

01:39:39.000 All right, we're going to go to your Rumble Rants and Super Chat.

01:39:43.000 So smash the like button, share the show with everyone in your life that you love or hate.

01:39:47.000 Before you do, my friends, you got to go to wallet.rumble.com and pick up the Rumble Wallet.

01:39:52.000 This is a non-custodial wallet app.

01:39:54.000 What does that mean?

01:39:55.000 It means you can trade Bitcoin, Tether, and Tether Gold.

01:39:59.000 Tether basically, it's a cryptocurrency that works one for one with the dollar.

01:40:03.000 Look into it, figure out how it works, but it's basically representing a dollar through crypto.

01:40:07.000 So it's easy to transact with people.

01:40:09.000 And Tether Gold is the same thing, but for gold.

01:40:11.000 So let's say you are concerned that someone wants to ban you from banking, which we have seen over and over again.

01:40:16.000 Rumble wallet can't do that because it's called non-custodial, meaning they don't actually have access to your accounts to ban you.

01:40:23.000 So your money's yours forever.

01:40:24.000 And you can use it on Rumble to tip your favorite shows and creators.

01:40:28.000 If you want to tip the show, you can use the Rumble Wallet.

01:40:30.000 Or you can just download it so you can send money to your friends.

01:40:32.000 If you want to, you know, buy pizza or someone owes you money.

01:40:35.000 Rumble wall is fantastic.

01:40:36.000 And you don't got to worry about someone banning you.

01:40:38.000 So let's say you want to do a show.

01:40:39.000 Maybe you've got naughty opinions.

01:40:41.000 You get the Rumble Wallet app.

01:40:42.000 And 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.

01:40:48.000 So check it out, wallet.rumble.com.

01:40:51.000 But for now, let's grab your Rumble Rance and see what you guys got going on.

01:40:56.000 The legend Dano says the donors will absolutely write those checks.

01:41:00.000 Remember how Newsom said he was going to raise minimum wage for food workers?

01:41:04.000 Yet somehow, if you make bread like how Panera bread does, they are exempt.

01:41:08.000 Yep, that was funny.

01:41:09.000 I don't know.

01:41:09.000 I'm not convinced.

01:41:11.000 Alex Stein's love, I'm sorry, Alex Stein's coffee should have been called love potion number Stein.

01:41:17.000 That's a good one.

01:41:18.000 Missed opportunity.

01:41:19.000 Also, you've told the story of your friend saying, start a skate park and then we'll help.

01:41:23.000 Keep fighting.

01:41:23.000 Your friends are here.

01:41:25.000 Yeah, 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.

01:41:34.000 And the response from all of them was, you do it and then let us know and we'll think about spending money on it.

01:41:39.000 And I'm like, okay.

01:41:40.000 Like, well, we have to build it.

01:41:42.000 You know, like, what?

01:41:43.000 I'm supposed to just front all of the money and let you come and skate my park.

01:41:46.000 The investors invest first.

01:41:48.000 Yeah, right.

01:41:50.000 You know what I should have said?

01:41:51.000 I should have said, okay, here's what I'm going to do.

01:41:53.000 I'm going to open it and all of you are going to be banned from it.

01:41:57.000 And I'm going to invite everybody else.

01:41:58.000 That's right.

01:42:00.000 I like it.

01:42:01.000 Let's see.

01:42:01.000 All right.

01:42:02.000 Jarvis says, anyone else find it interesting?

01:42:03.000 Tim conveniently got sick the weekend.

01:42:05.000 The new World of Warcraft expansion early releases.

01:42:08.000 Oh, are you all night?

01:42:09.000 Just kidding, man.

01:42:10.000 Glad you're feeling better.

01:42:10.000 Bro, I ain't playing that World of Warcraft garbage.

01:42:12.000 Damn, dude. 1.00

01:42:14.000 He was in Tel Aviv consulting with Netanyahu. 1.00

01:42:17.000 Emergency.

01:42:17.000 Strategy.

01:42:19.000 I'm just going to say.

01:42:20.000 I just really have 35s.

01:42:21.000 What are you talking about?

01:42:22.000 I am an OG World of Warcraft from way back in the 2000s.

01:42:26.000 Vanilla.

01:42:28.000 60-level cap.

01:42:29.000 I was a field marshal PvP gear. 0.99

01:42:31.000 Damn. 0.99

01:42:32.000 Alteric Valley champ. 0.99

01:42:34.000 Rogue was my main, but I had a couple other level 60s.

01:42:36.000 A priest.

01:42:37.000 And thank you for your service.

01:42:39.000 Man, the game was so incredible back then.

01:42:41.000 It 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.

01:42:50.000 Like there were tasks to be done, but every step of the way had its regions and it had its people, it had its adventures.

01:42:57.000 So I had friends who were level 60 when I was level 23.

01:43:00.000 And 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.

01:43:07.000 But so usually they just, we would be in, like, I think we used, what was it, Team Speak?

01:43:11.000 Or was it, no, we used, what was it?

01:43:12.000 Skype we used too.

01:43:13.000 What was the other one?

01:43:14.000 Not Team Speak.

01:43:15.000 I think we used Team Speak.

01:43:16.000 IRC?

01:43:16.000 VC?

01:43:18.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:43:18.000 I don't know.

01:43:19.000 I know what you're talking about.

01:43:19.000 There's another one with a V. Yeah, maybe.

01:43:21.000 I don't know.

01:43:22.000 And so back in the day, there were things called instances.

01:43:27.000 They 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.

01:43:36.000 But once you go in, only you and your party can go in and do it.

01:43:40.000 And so, depending on how good you are at the game, but basically, you need a party of friends to go and do it.

01:43:45.000 Only problem, how do you find them?

01:43:47.000 You'd go into forums, you'd go into chat rooms, you'd ask someone else, like, is there a guild?

01:43:53.000 It was really difficult, but you had to externally figure out how to find a group of people to play the game with.

01:43:58.000 Yo, I know people who got married playing that game.

01:44:01.000 Wow.

01:44:01.000 They met each other.

01:44:03.000 And so I'm running around and someone runs by and they got a guild name and they'd say, I was like, hey, you don't got a guild.

01:44:08.000 You want to join Iris?

01:44:09.000 And I'd be like, done.

01:44:10.000 And then they send you the invite.

01:44:11.000 You join.

01:44:11.000 All of a sudden, you have a group of people and you go, hey, guys, I'm trying to do, you know, Alderman or something.

01:44:17.000 And they'd be like, let's see if there's anybody available.

01:44:19.000 No one's going to be on for a little bit.

01:44:21.000 And then you're like, this is great.

01:44:23.000 And then you've got a group of new friends you just met.

01:44:26.000 And so I remember the first time doing a 40-man raid.

01:44:31.000 40 people.

01:44:32.000 And it was crazy because you literally had to find 40 people.

01:44:36.000 So the guild would put out a message on their website saying, guys, Saturday, 7 p.m., 40-man raid, sign up now.

01:44:44.000 And then you'd start signing up.

01:44:45.000 And then we'd go and do like AQ on Karaj.

01:44:48.000 Or I think Zulfrock was a 20-man.

01:44:51.000 And it was so much fun.

01:44:53.000 So much fun.

01:44:53.000 And here's the crazy thing.

01:44:55.000 After the raid, the boss drops like two pieces of gear for 40 people.

01:44:59.000 And so you had to roll.

01:45:00.000 You had to put type slash roll.

01:45:02.000 And then whoever got the highest number, they'd first be like, okay, who can use leather?

01:45:05.000 And it's like the druids and the rogues.

01:45:06.000 And they'd go, okay, only druids and rogues roll.

01:45:09.000 And then six people roll.

01:45:10.000 And then they go, okay, this guy wins.

01:45:12.000 Here's the gear.

01:45:13.000 And then you're like, well, I guess I'll have to come back and do it again.

01:45:15.000 So much fun.

01:45:17.000 And then I played until Wrath of the Lich King.

01:45:20.000 And, you know, Burning Crusade, I was like, okay, you know, level cap went up and I'll play.

01:45:26.000 And it was, it was, it was fun to keep playing, but it was losing its spark.

01:45:28.000 And then Wrath of the Lich King was really good.

01:45:30.000 And I didn't really play it too much.

01:45:32.000 I came back for Warlords of Dronor and was fairly disappointed.

01:45:36.000 And then I played Legion, and I played Legion extensively.

01:45:40.000 I 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.

01:45:53.000 It's no more human interaction.

01:45:55.000 It's one step away from you just inviting my bot to the raid and I'll just sit here while my bot plays for me.

01:46:00.000 Exactly.

01:46:01.000 What made the game work originally was that you had to work really hard to make friends.

01:46:07.000 And everybody wanted to be your friend because you had a shared mission.

01:46:10.000 I used to build guilds for that purpose.

01:46:12.000 I was all about guilds, dude.

01:46:13.000 You could hate somebody. 0.58

01:46:15.000 You could be like, man, I just hate leftists.

01:46:18.000 But that wouldn't come up because you'd be like, bro, I need someone.

01:46:21.000 I've got an, I got, I'm creating a warrior and I want to go do VC and I need some friends who can, you know, join on with me.

01:46:28.000 And you never really talk about that stuff.

01:46:30.000 You made real friends.

01:46:31.000 Hey, where are you from?

01:46:32.000 I knew a guy's like, I live in Canada.

01:46:33.000 I'm like, wow, where in Canada?

01:46:34.000 He's like, oh, I live in Alberta.

01:46:35.000 I used to go so hard on that.

01:46:37.000 And then in 2010, YouTube took off.

01:46:39.000 It was like internet video became my video game.

01:46:42.000 It became more fun and community building and like challenging than the Warcraft and other online games.

01:46:49.000 That'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.

01:46:49.000 Wow.

01:47:03.000 I'm hoping that this message, like what made the OG World of Warcraft so big, will pursue.

01:47:11.000 Like 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.

01:47:20.000 Blizzard, I was going to say Wizards.

01:47:22.000 Blizzard basically was like, you're stealing RIP, shut it down.

01:47:25.000 And they were running a private server where you could play the original version of the game because everyone thought the expansion sucked.

01:47:30.000 So then they were like, okay, we're going to relaunch classic so everybody who likes the original game can play.

01:47:34.000 And then they just started doing the same thing. 0.93

01:47:35.000 And I'm like, I played it for a little bit and I'm like, no, this is dumb. 1.00

01:47:38.000 This is dumb. 0.96

01:47:39.000 It was fun when I had to go in for the first time into like Team Speak and turn the mic on and be like, hey guys, what's up? 0.99

01:47:45.000 Don't know anybody.

01:47:46.000 I'm trying to do Ultimate or something.

01:47:48.000 And they'd be like, yo, what's up?

01:47:49.000 Where are you from?

01:47:50.000 And I'd, oh, I'm from here.

01:47:51.000 You're meeting people.

01:47:52.000 You're hanging out with people.

01:47:53.000 That was the only thing that mattered.

01:47:55.000 That's why it was fun.

01:47:57.000 You'd be bored in the game.

01:47:58.000 You'd be like, well, I maxed out all my levels.

01:48:01.000 I got all the best gear.

01:48:02.000 And then there'd be people like, yo, bro, I need help.

01:48:04.000 I'm trying to go get this thing.

01:48:05.000 Like, let's go.

01:48:06.000 And it wasn't that the game didn't matter.

01:48:09.000 It 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.

01:48:16.000 That was fun.

01:48:16.000 I told my buddy yesterday, Bryce, about it, dude.

01:48:22.000 Is that playing video games?

01:48:23.000 There's like two types of rewards.

01:48:25.000 There's what you get in the game, items, experience, and then there's what you develop as a human from playing it.

01:48:30.000 You can get better at the game, then that seeds into other areas of your life.

01:48:34.000 And now you're quicker at conversation, or you're more confident in a room because you beat the hell out of that game.

01:48:39.000 So keep that in mind when playing.

01:48:40.000 A lot of times, you know, altruism can really, really make you a better person.

01:48:44.000 Let's grab some more.

01:48:45.000 We got same old man that says, Tim calling the kettle black, aren't you?

01:48:48.000 With screaming at politics, but you won't run.

01:48:50.000 I 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.

01:48:59.000 Literally, the point is there are too many podcasters who complain and don't actually run.

01:49:03.000 But I got to be honest, like, bro, I mean, I'm in West Virginia and Riley Moore is my rep. I'm chilling.

01:49:09.000 Like, we're good here.

01:49:11.000 You know, like, he won and he's doing what we want him to do.

01:49:14.000 So I don't need to run.

01:49:17.000 You have to move.

01:49:18.000 I have to move somewhere else.

01:49:19.000 You're going to get in a carpet bag now.

01:49:21.000 The sacrifice Bongino made to set that show down to go serve like he did.

01:49:25.000 Like, what a loss for that brief period of time.

01:49:28.000 I still haven't talked to him since he's out, like, he's out of prison.

01:49:31.000 It 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.

01:49:38.000 And I guess for whatever reasons, he couldn't or wouldn't do it.

01:49:41.000 So, you know, everybody wants to, I'm going to say this: everybody wants to attack Dan like crazy.

01:49:45.000 And I'm like, eh, you can't get mad at someone for not doing you a favor.

01:49:47.000 You know what I mean?

01:49:48.000 You can be disappointed and wish that Deputy Bongino was going to do a lot more.

01:49:52.000 He didn't do it.

01:49:53.000 Then I say, okay, Bongino keeps rallying the troops, pushing him in the right direction.

01:49:58.000 I'm not going to hold a grudge against somebody for not doing me a favor. 1.00

01:50:01.000 That's stupid. 0.99

01:50:02.000 What podcaster do you think should step up to that role and possibly? 1.00

01:50:06.000 Oh, no, I don't know.

01:50:07.000 Not at all.

01:50:09.000 No, 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.

01:50:17.000 Right?

01:50:17.000 I mean, millions of views per day gone so that I can represent one small district would be a bad idea.

01:50:23.000 To go Senate would be only to represent one state.

01:50:25.000 Well, I'm not going to run for president.

01:50:27.000 So it's like there's not an effective office for nationally hosted shows.

01:50:27.000 You know what I mean?

01:50:32.000 And the list of podcasters that shouldn't run for office 10 times longer.

01:50:37.000 I mean, and also you have to think of like, you know, what seats are they going to be filling?

01:50:41.000 Like, 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.

01:50:52.000 You'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?

01:51:00.000 Most likely.

01:51:00.000 Primary in Dallas has like 80 podcasters running in the same primary because everyone's like, come run for office.

01:51:06.000 There will be a YouTuber that serves as president at some point, though.

01:51:09.000 Will it be you?

01:51:11.000 Not me.

01:51:12.000 I don't know about YouTube.

01:51:13.000 What's the newest?

01:51:14.000 They're doing Warcraft Midnight.

01:51:16.000 Served on YouTube.

01:51:17.000 I did three.

01:51:18.000 You know the problem?

01:51:19.000 14 years.

01:51:20.000 You know what the problem with problems with Warcraft, World of Warcraft is, especially?

01:51:24.000 Please tell me.

01:51:25.000 I want to talk about it all night, actually.

01:51:27.000 It was just like, first of all, let me just stress: Pandaria was when they nuked World of Warcraft.

01:51:33.000 That was truly the end of it.

01:51:35.000 It's the infantilization of that cheap game.

01:51:37.000 Guys, made it for little kids.

01:51:38.000 So you get Wrath of the Play.

01:51:39.000 It was right after Wrath of Lich King, right?

01:51:40.000 Was when they did Mist of Panda.

01:51:41.000 Right after I quit, too.

01:51:42.000 I stopped throwing Rath King.

01:51:43.000 The intro to Wrath of the Lich King is a cinematic masterpiece.

01:51:43.000 Okay.

01:51:48.000 It like the story sends chills down my spine.

01:51:51.000 It's tremendous writing.

01:51:53.000 Blizzard has always had such incredible narrative.

01:51:57.000 I don't know if you guys, nobody really plays Overwatch anymore, but did you ever see the short film The Last Bastion?

01:52:02.000 No.

01:52:03.000 Oh my God, there's not a single word said in that short film.

01:52:06.000 And talk about some of the best narrative storytelling.

01:52:09.000 Wrath of the Lich King's intro was just like, I watched it like, wow.

01:52:15.000 The story is so incredible.

01:52:17.000 They basically the way it works is you're watching The Lich King.

01:52:20.000 He's effectively undead.

01:52:22.000 He's evil.

01:52:23.000 And he's raising a bone army.

01:52:25.000 At the same time, there is the narrative of his father reading a letter to him about how he wishes when he grows up, he'll be a great man.

01:52:33.000 And he turns into this like plague of evil.

01:52:35.000 So good.

01:52:36.000 Prince Arthas, he gets overcome with rage, trying to hunt the villain.

01:52:39.000 He becomes the villain he's trying to destroy, and then he becomes the Lich King itself.

01:52:42.000 It's this horror story of like rage and how his dad being like, son, may you be a noble ruler.

01:52:49.000 And it shows him raising up like an undead army.

01:52:52.000 It's so good.

01:52:53.000 But here's the thing: after that, Mists of Pandaria.

01:52:57.000 And you know what that is?

01:52:58.000 It was literally the Kung Fu Panda expansion.

01:53:00.000 Not a joke.

01:53:02.000 It was literally an island discovered in Azeroth where there's a bunch of Pandarin. 0.53

01:53:07.000 They are Panda people and they do Kung Fu. 0.97

01:53:09.000 I believe they talk like this.

01:53:10.000 They talk a recordish.

01:53:11.000 And I was like, okay, aside from how hilarious that was, it's okay.

01:53:17.000 Yeah, it removed all of the serious element.

01:53:21.000 It was always a little bit cartoony compared to like Final Fantasy Online or whatever, but it was still relatively serious and horrifying.

01:53:30.000 Like, what's her face?

01:53:32.000 I forget the names.

01:53:34.000 Who's the elf lady who died? 0.99

01:53:37.000 No, she gets Sylvanus.

01:53:38.000 Sylvanas women.

01:53:40.000 Yeah, she's like becomes a lich. 0.99

01:53:42.000 Oh, yeah.

01:53:42.000 And so it's like, and now she's condemned that even if she's whether she's good or evil as a lich, she will always go to hell or whatever.

01:53:50.000 Oh, God, what a story.

01:53:50.000 It's such a great storytelling.

01:53:51.000 And then they're like, and now there's Kung Fu Panda is at Taka Recordish.

01:53:55.000 And I was like, okay, I guess I'm not playing this game anymore.

01:53:58.000 One 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.

01:54:05.000 And they've got Marvel characters.

01:54:07.000 There's a really funny video where a guy's at Walmart and he's like, guys, this is amazing.

01:54:12.000 They're doing a big promo for Magic the Gathering characters.

01:54:15.000 It's crazy to see Magic the Gathering IP like at Walmart.

01:54:18.000 And then the camera turns around.

01:54:19.000 It's Oreo Cookies, Marvel, with like the Hulk and like Iron Man.

01:54:22.000 And he's like, look at all these Magic the Gathering characters.

01:54:25.000 And bro, like, they did Teenage Meat and Ninja Turtles.

01:54:29.000 They are burning Magic the Gathering to the ground.

01:54:31.000 Oh, wow.

01:54:32.000 Okay, I heard it's going to be bad.

01:54:33.000 My friend was like, dude, this is going to be.

01:54:35.000 They're saying it's worse than Spider-Man.

01:54:37.000 Oh, no.

01:54:38.000 Bro.

01:54:39.000 You got the original TMNC up top.

01:54:41.000 I got the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles right there.

01:54:43.000 The OG, the OG.

01:54:45.000 It was a parody of Daredevil.

01:54:49.000 Written in Northampton, Massachusetts.

01:54:54.000 That is the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

01:54:56.000 And in fact, they didn't have different color bandanas.

01:54:59.000 Oh, yeah.

01:54:59.000 Because it's all black and white.

01:55:01.000 I also have the original Deadpool, which is New Mutants 98.

01:55:03.000 I got that.

01:55:04.000 That was like my first time.

01:55:05.000 And I got in a comic.

01:55:06.000 Additionally, I don't know where, but we have a like 9.5 original Vision Avenger somewhere.

01:55:13.000 I just lost it.

01:55:14.000 The origin of the first appearance of Vision?

01:55:15.000 Yeah.

01:55:16.000 Yeah.

01:55:17.000 Dude, Deadpool is my GM.

01:55:18.000 I thought he was super cheap when they created it.

01:55:20.000 I want to stress this to all of you listening right now.

01:55:23.000 What they have taken from us.

01:55:25.000 I just have to stress that.

01:55:26.000 They took the fire hose.

01:55:28.000 Bro.

01:55:28.000 Which was a lot of fun.

01:55:29.000 I want to tell you guys.

01:55:30.000 I'm not socially on one idea at a time.

01:55:32.000 I want to tell you guys a story about the importance of Star Trek the next generation.

01:55:36.000 And it always frustrates me when people go like, oh, I hate sci-fi.

01:55:39.000 And I always tell them, like, ignore the sci-fi.

01:55:42.000 I don't care.

01:55:43.000 And replace everything they're saying with real-world conflict.

01:55:47.000 There's an episode called, I think it's called The Defector, one of the greatest lines in Star Trek.

01:55:53.000 The Enterprise, so ignore Romulan, ignore Federation, cling on whatever. 0.81

01:55:58.000 Okay.

01:55:58.000 An enemy is fleeing a warship that's shooting at him.

01:56:01.000 He crosses over into our territory in violation of the treaties we have because it's a ceasefire.

01:56:08.000 They then bring this guy, and he's a refugee with information dire to the Federation.

01:56:15.000 And we don't know if we believe him.

01:56:17.000 The 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. 0.73

01:56:25.000 And I had to tell you to stop this war. 0.83

01:56:27.000 It's going to kill everybody and they shouldn't do it.

01:56:29.000 And so they go to this planet and they find nothing.

01:56:32.000 And the admiral who defected is like, I don't understand.

01:56:35.000 And then all of a sudden, two Romulan warships appear next to the Federation, like in front of, they decloak.

01:56:40.000 They have cloaking technology.

01:56:41.000 The Federation does not.

01:56:43.000 And they get hailed by the captain of the ship.

01:56:46.000 And he says, you are going to surrender.

01:56:48.000 Like, we have caught you in the neutral zone territory.

01:56:51.000 You will surrender as prisoners of war.

01:56:53.000 And 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. 1.00

01:57:02.000 And then Picard says, that is unacceptable.

01:57:07.000 And he's like, I will give you 30 seconds to make your decision.

01:57:12.000 And he goes, I won't need but one.

01:57:13.000 And he's like, surrender is unacceptable.

01:57:16.000 Then Tomalok, the other guy, says, think about the men and women that you would lead and sacrifice by your decisions.

01:57:23.000 And then Picard smirks and says, every man and woman on my vessel would sacrifice their lives if the cause is right.

01:57:29.000 And then he says, the question is, Tomalock, are you prepared to do the same?

01:57:33.000 Are you prepared to die today?

01:57:35.000 And he laughs and says, I'd expect more from you than idle threats.

01:57:39.000 Picard then goes, and you shall have them, Mr. Wharf.

01:57:42.000 And then Klingon warships, allies of the Federation, decloak around the Romulans.

01:57:46.000 And then Tomalok gets all pissed off, realizing he's outgunned.

01:57:50.000 And he goes, you will not survive our assault.

01:57:52.000 And then Picard says, and you will not survive ours.

01:57:54.000 Shall we die together?

01:57:56.000 And that is one of the most epic lines. 0.96

01:57:58.000 And there's many of them.

01:58:00.000 And I stress this as much as people are like, Star Trek has done.

01:58:03.000 I want you to understand the masculinity in a captain of a naval vessel telling the enemy we have outflanked you.

01:58:10.000 And if you want to mess, if you, I'm going to avoid swearing, but if you decide that you want to fight, we will both die.

01:58:17.000 And I love that.

01:58:17.000 Is that what you want?

01:58:18.000 I love that.

01:58:19.000 If you think you're going to come at me and my people, I would rather die than let you just take whatever you want. 0.84

01:58:25.000 And I love that.

01:58:26.000 We don't have enough of that these days. 1.00

01:58:28.000 Because now with the Star Trek garbage that we're getting, it's all this hoity-toity, woke, garbage, feminized trash. 1.00

01:58:35.000 And it's just, it is unacceptable. 1.00

01:58:37.000 For me as a little kid to watch Captain Picard walk up and say, shall we die together?

01:58:42.000 I was like, wow.

01:58:44.000 I'm like, that's what it means to be a man.

01:58:47.000 I would rather lose everything than give you a free shot at taking my people prisoner. 0.83

01:58:52.000 And I'm just like, that is badass. 0.99

01:58:54.000 And 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. 1.00

01:59:03.000 Not even a joke. 0.99

01:59:04.000 That's actually from the latest show.

01:59:05.000 Really?

01:59:06.000 Yeah.

01:59:06.000 So anyway, I'm going to stress it again.

01:59:09.000 We need masculine culture. 1.00

01:59:12.000 We need content.

01:59:13.000 We need narratives.

01:59:14.000 We need stories for young men to be told what it means to be a man.

01:59:19.000 And that is why I am so deeply pissed off about Kurt Smintrek and what they have done to this storied and incredible intellectual property.

01:59:27.000 And I fully understand many of the original series episodes and TNG were very liberal.

01:59:33.000 Bro, Captain Picard literally says in an episode, diversity is our strength.

01:59:37.000 That's fine.

01:59:39.000 As long as there is a masculine military leader saying, prepare for war, we're about to die. 0.99

01:59:44.000 And understanding those threats.

01:59:46.000 And for that matter, Deep Space Nine, bro.

01:59:48.000 Man.

01:59:49.000 It's great.

01:59:49.000 Really?

01:59:50.000 Deep Space Nine is a fighter. 0.98

01:59:51.000 Bro, are you nuts? 0.96

01:59:52.000 He talks like this. 1.00

01:59:54.000 Why does he fake his talking?

01:59:57.000 No one speaks like that.

01:59:58.000 Bro, In the Pale Moonlight is probably the greatest television episode of television ever made.

02:00:04.000 DS9.

02:00:04.000 Wow.

02:00:05.000 Which episode?

02:00:06.000 Which episode?

02:00:07.000 In the Pale Moonlight.

02:00:08.000 What happened was they did Voyager and the girl was the captain.

02:00:10.000 And it was Jayla.

02:00:11.000 She did DS9 first, though, wasn't it?

02:00:13.000 Yeah.

02:00:13.000 And then so he just talks so weird.

02:00:18.000 He like speaks what they say.

02:00:19.000 He talks like this.

02:00:20.000 Yeah.

02:00:20.000 Like, why not just talk?

02:00:21.000 I will not allow them to come into my place.

02:00:23.000 And I think what he did was he mimicked Jean-Luc Picard.

02:00:27.000 Patrick Stewart's theatrical because he was a Shakespearean actor.

02:00:30.000 So Picard brought, you know, he brought that to the stage, to the literally the stage of the, of the, of the.

02:00:36.000 I'm going to say for everybody.

02:00:37.000 So the other guy just kind of took that weird, boisterous, like that.

02:00:42.000 And it didn't work.

02:00:43.000 I want to stress this to everybody, okay?

02:00:44.000 Like 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.

02:00:52.000 But basically, simple version, because we're talking about a 30-year-old show at this point.

02:00:56.000 Benjamin Sisko is a military leader.

02:01:00.000 He's a relatively, like, these are liberal people.

02:01:03.000 They are like traditional 90s liberal types that believe in freedom and equality.

02:01:07.000 And presented with the Alpha Quadrant is being invaded, and the Federation is losing the war.

02:01:17.000 And Cisco decides we have to force the Romulans into the war on our side. 0.98

02:01:23.000 And then they say, surely the Dominion, who they're at war with, is we'll attack the Romulans after we're defeated. 0.95

02:01:29.000 Let's find the evidence.

02:01:30.000 They can't.

02:01:31.000 He goes to Garrick, a former black ops guy, who's now a tailor, quote unquote, because he's not really, right?

02:01:37.000 And he's like, how do we get this evidence?

02:01:39.000 And he's like, let's try.

02:01:40.000 And then he comes back and says, there isn't any, but we'll fabricate it.

02:01:44.000 And 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.

02:02:00.000 Like, 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.

02:02:27.000 And that is something that I think conservatives need to understand right now, and they don't.

02:02:32.000 They don't get it.

02:02:33.000 So this is like 1998.

02:02:36.000 You have a show that is explaining there comes a time in war where your principles will be tested.

02:02:43.000 And if you stand by them, you will die.

02:02:46.000 Good luck.

02:02:48.000 Oh, I want to hear the rest of that, but how many times a false flag actually saved people's, like saved the country?

02:02:48.000 How many times?

02:02:53.000 Probably.

02:02:55.000 And the point is, they blew up assassinating a Romulan senator to frame the Dominion, and it worked. 0.75

02:03:02.000 And the Romulans enter the war.

02:03:04.000 Dude, I play a lot of Crusaders.

02:03:05.000 And the Federation wins.

02:03:06.000 And I love a good fabricated claim.

02:03:08.000 I 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.

02:04:53.000 Really appreciate you to come out and talk with us.

02:04:56.000 Let's get to the after-show.

02:04:58.000 See you all over at Rumble.com slash Timcast IRL in about 30 seconds.

02:05:52.000 What is up?

02:05:53.000 I think so that people can truly understand what they've taken from us.

02:05:58.000 I got to play The Wrath of Litch King for those that don't understand this.

02:06:01.000 Our old drummer played so much World of Warcraft.

02:06:04.000 He would post up on the bus for like on the days off, and he would literally play from when he gets up until like midnight.

02:06:12.000 Watch this.

02:06:13.000 My son, every forests of Lordaeron whispered the name Arthas.

02:07:17.000 My child, I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon of righteousness.

02:07:37.000 has always ruled with wisdom and strength and I know you will show restraint when exercising your great power

02:08:41.000 but the truest victory my son is stirring the hearts of your people i tell you this for when my days have come to an end shall be king

02:09:11.000 You know why Arthas went crazy?

02:09:13.000 He didn't raise with his mom in the house.

02:09:15.000 He wasn't breastfed.

02:09:17.000 He never saw Arthas' mother.

02:09:18.000 She never lactated.

02:09:22.000 I 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?

02:09:31.000 It's from Overwatch.

02:09:32.000 And Overwatch is dead.

02:09:34.000 And that's kind of the point.

02:09:35.000 Like, it's just like watching our culture die. 0.99

02:09:38.000 We gotta reach this apex where we had so much tremendous, awesome shit. 0.98

02:09:42.000 Well, Fallout is pretty good. 0.98

02:09:42.000 Yep. 0.98

02:09:44.000 Fallout 76, not bad.

02:09:45.000 Oh, bro, the show's butchering it.

02:09:47.000 Is it really?

02:09:48.000 Oh, dude.

02:09:49.000 Come on, Vault Tech dropped the bombs. 0.99

02:09:52.000 And then whenever we freaked out and they were like, that's stupid, they went, actually, they didn't. 1.00

02:09:56.000 Oh, man. 1.00

02:09:58.000 No, let's watch it.

02:09:59.000 I don't care.

02:10:00.000 We're watching this.

02:10:01.000 This is which one?

02:10:02.000 The Last Bastion from Overwatch.

02:10:09.000 When was this released?

02:10:10.000 2016, I think.

02:10:11.000 To get a balloon apart.

02:12:57.000 It's coming.

02:13:10.000 Are they

02:14:26.000 giving you feels?

02:14:40.000 I'll compare

02:16:25.000 that with Concord.

02:16:27.000 You guys know Concord?

02:16:29.000 They tried releasing a team shooter game or whatever, and it flopped.

02:16:32.000 And it was like the worst game launch ever. 1.00

02:16:34.000 And it was meant to be like queer, non-binary bullshit. 1.00

02:16:37.000 Give me the fucking war machine that wants to go fucking massacre the people in the city. 1.00

02:16:42.000 And then he chooses nature over the war. 1.00

02:16:45.000 And it's like, man, it's good.

02:16:46.000 I guess.

02:16:48.000 Bro, it's got 26 million, 27 million views nine years ago.

02:16:53.000 Wow.

02:16:53.000 And like, I'm just saying, oh, bro, look at.

02:16:57.000 Oh, my God, dude.

02:16:58.000 Have you guys, if you've never seen the dragons?

02:17:03.000 I have never watched any of these.

02:17:05.000 That was amazing.

02:17:06.000 Wow.

02:17:07.000 This one?

02:17:10.000 Dude, I don't care.

02:17:12.000 We're watching it.

02:17:12.000 Sorry, guys.

02:17:13.000 We have to watch it.

02:17:14.000 You guys have to understand. 0.99

02:17:15.000 My point is, over the past like 10 years, our culture has become retarded and gay. 1.00

02:17:20.000 And the things that are being told to children, they are not inspirational. 0.97

02:17:24.000 They don't give you a sense of a grand adventure.

02:17:27.000 They don't move you. 1.00

02:17:28.000 And 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. 1.00

02:17:35.000 So we're going to go rob museums and private collections. 1.00

02:17:37.000 And then you end up with trash like Concorde. 0.93

02:17:40.000 You end up with trash like, again, even to be fair, 10 years ago, you had trash like The Force Awakens. 0.99

02:17:45.000 And 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. 0.99

02:18:01.000 And these fucking videos from 10 years ago, and Overwatch is dead now, by the way, but this is fucking masterpiece-level, incredible shit. 0.98

02:18:09.000 This is also Overwatch? 0.99

02:18:11.000 Yep.

02:18:14.000 My family tells of an ancient legend about two great dragon brothers.

02:18:20.000 The Dragon of the North Wind and the Dragon of the South Wind.

02:18:24.000 Together, they upheld balance and harmony in the heavens.

02:18:28.000 These are real Japanese.

02:18:30.000 All right, I'm legit.

02:18:53.000 Their quarrel turned to rage and their violent struggle darkened the skies.

02:18:58.000 Until the dragon of the south wind struck down his brother, who fell to earth, shattering the land.

02:19:06.000 That's the guy that does Hanzo's voice in the game.

02:19:14.000 Don't worry, he only kills robots, because it's for kids.

02:19:29.000 The dragon of the south wind had triumphed, but as time passed and he realized his solitude, the sweetness of victory turned to ash.

02:19:58.000 And this is seven, eight years ago, right?

02:20:00.000 The bereft dragon threw the world into discord.

02:20:05.000 And he knew only bitterness and sorrow.

02:20:10.000 One day, a stranger called up to the dragon and asked, Oh, dragon lord, why are you so distraught?

02:20:18.000 The dragon told him, Seeking power, I killed my brother.

02:20:24.000 But without him, I am lost.

02:20:27.000 The stranger replied, You have inflicted wounds upon yourself.

02:20:33.000 But now, you must heal.

02:20:37.000 Walk the earth on two feet as I do.

02:20:41.000 Find value in humility.

02:20:45.000 You will find peace.

02:20:53.000 You are not the first assassin sent to kill me.

02:20:57.000 And you will not be the last. 1.00

02:21:05.000 Bruh, you are both sick to come to Shimara Castle, the den of your enemies.

02:21:12.000 This was once my home. 0.99

02:21:14.000 Did your masters not tell you who I want?

02:21:18.000 I know who you are, Hanzo.

02:21:24.000 i know you come here every year on the same day you risk so much to honor someone you murdered You know nothing of what happened.

02:21:40.000 I know you tell yourself that your brother disobeyed the clan. 0.98

02:22:01.000 And that you have to kill him to maintain order. 0.99

02:22:05.000 That it was your duty. 1.00

02:22:08.000 It was my duty and my verdict.

02:22:14.000 That does not mean that I do not honor him!

02:22:18.000 You think you honor your brother Genji with incense offerings?

02:22:43.000 Honor resides in one's actions.

02:22:46.000 You dare to lecture me about honor?

02:22:49.000 You are not worthy to stay and stay!

02:23:04.000 Only a Shimada can control the dragons. 1.00

02:23:41.000 Do it then Kill me. 0.99

02:23:48.000 No. 1.00

02:23:50.000 I will not grant you the death you wish for.

02:23:54.000 You still have a purpose in this life.

02:23:57.000 Brother.

02:23:59.000 No.

02:24:01.000 Oh.

02:24:02.000 My brother is dead.

02:24:20.000 For the first time, he was able to clearly see the world around him.

02:24:24.000 And he became human.

02:24:26.000 The stranger revealed himself as his fallen brother.

02:24:30.000 Reunited, the two set out to rebuild what they had once destroyed.

02:24:37.000 What have you become?

02:24:41.000 I have accepted what I am, and I have forgiven you.

02:24:46.000 Now you must forgive yourself.

02:24:49.000 The world is changing once again, Hanzo.

02:24:52.000 And it's time to pick a side.

02:24:55.000 Your life is not like the stories our father told us. 1.00

02:25:05.000 You were a fool for believing it so. 1.00

02:25:07.000 Perhaps I am a fool to think there is still hope for you. 1.00

02:25:12.000 But I do. 0.86

02:25:15.000 Think on that, brother.

02:25:38.000 That was...

02:25:39.000 That's sick.

02:25:40.000 46 million views nine years ago.

02:25:42.000 You guys remember when Game of Thrones was on and literally every single person was on Twitter when an episode came out?

02:25:49.000 The world stopped.

02:25:50.000 Our culture died in the last 10 years, 100%.

02:25:53.000 And it's fractured. 1.00

02:25:54.000 Everybody's watching random bullshit. 0.98

02:25:56.000 I think it largely has to do with things like Instagram, TikTok, shorts. 0.98

02:26:01.000 There is no longer the great grand moment where people feel inspiration.

02:26:06.000 And again, here's another one.

02:26:07.000 There's a bunch of these.

02:26:09.000 There's Overwatch Honor and Glory, 26 million.

02:26:12.000 I think Last Bastion is my favorite.

02:26:15.000 This one's good too.

02:26:16.000 But they did all these cinematics back in the day, and we lost something.

02:26:19.000 Yeah.

02:26:20.000 Our culture is just, it's fried.

02:26:23.000 I think we talked about it like when Halo 3 came out, there was all the advertisement leading up to Halo 3.

02:26:29.000 Like it was a really big deal.

02:26:31.000 Like 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.

02:26:41.000 46 million views.

02:26:43.000 And the important thing to understand is that this is an advertisement for the game.

02:26:47.000 The attacks that they use, they're showcasing like when Hanzo fires the air that splits into a bunch of arrows.

02:26:53.000 It's one of his special abilities.

02:26:54.000 They're literally just creating a cinematic to explain the character's attacks and what they're doing.

02:26:58.000 Yeah, those dragon strikes.

02:26:59.000 Right.

02:27:00.000 Those are their specials.

02:27:01.000 And in the actual game, in the level, in the temple, the arrow is in the ground and the incense and everything is.

02:27:10.000 So everything from this is in there.

02:27:11.000 You can see the arrows from the battle.

02:27:14.000 By the way, in a one-on-one battle, Genji would obliterate Hanzo all day, every day.

02:27:18.000 Hanzo has no mobility.

02:27:20.000 Genji's on top of him.

02:27:21.000 Yeah, he's a sniper.

02:27:22.000 Hanzo's a sniper.

02:27:23.000 Yeah.

02:27:23.000 And Genji can dive on dudes.

02:27:25.000 Genji runs water sniper.

02:27:27.000 But again, you're talking about range versus close quarters.

02:27:31.000 But my understanding is that Overwatch died.

02:27:33.000 So here's the one thing I want to say for World of Warcraft before we go into our callers.

02:27:38.000 The mistake they made is that I would say after Wrath of the Lich King, because that's when they that was part of the original lore. 0.89

02:27:48.000 The Burning Crusade, Iladan, Arthus were in the original lore going back for a while, adding Pandaria and all this other stupid bullshit.

02:27:57.000 They should have ended it and created World of Warcraft II.

02:28:01.000 And the new game would take place in the same continents of Azeroth.

02:28:06.000 And they literally could have been like, okay, so World of Warcraft II, the cities are going to be a little bit more robust.

02:28:13.000 Time has passed.

02:28:14.000 We're going to add some stuff to the story.

02:28:16.000 We're going to develop a similar but expanded game.

02:28:20.000 North Rend will still be there.

02:28:21.000 So you've got three continents.

02:28:23.000 You're not going to, that'll be in the expansion.

02:28:26.000 We can outland, we can figure out how that's changed.

02:28:29.000 The problem is they keep adding new continents.

02:28:31.000 New world, new realms.

02:28:32.000 There's hell and heaven and whatever. 1.00

02:28:35.000 It's like just become whackaloon bullshit. 0.99

02:28:37.000 Changed the cataclysm, changed the original map. 0.99

02:28:40.000 Like, why not just make another world?

02:28:42.000 Adding flying to the game ruined it.

02:28:44.000 Yeah, that's what kept me around.

02:28:46.000 But also, that was the end.

02:28:47.000 After that, it was like the game at all after that.

02:28:50.000 You used to build a glitch hop where you could explore parts of the map by figuring out areas you can jump to.

02:28:56.000 And 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.

02:29:04.000 And then they block all of that stuff out.

02:29:06.000 All of the fun, all the exploration is gone.

02:29:08.000 Then they say you can fly now and flying kills every game.

02:29:11.000 Man, I like exploration in video games.

02:29:14.000 In 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.

02:29:20.000 I'm learning new brain patterns just by being in the presence of their creation.

02:29:24.000 What was that game where you were like Iron Man?

02:29:28.000 Iron Man?

02:29:29.000 It was like a couple.

02:29:31.000 There are two games like that.

02:29:32.000 Let me figure out this game.

02:29:33.000 It failed miserably.

02:29:35.000 Game where you are armor suits and fly around team.

02:29:40.000 I 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.

02:30:07.000 So Anthem's servers shut down January 12th of this year, rendering the game unplayable.

02:30:12.000 So I played Destiny when it first came out.

02:30:14.000 Loved it.

02:30:15.000 And Anthem is your people in exo suits or something.

02:30:19.000 The problem is when all my friends got it excited, like this looks fun, flying.

02:30:24.000 Completely ruined the game.

02:30:25.000 Nobody wanted to do it.

02:30:26.000 You could go anywhere and do anything.

02:30:27.000 And a lot of gaming is platforming.

02:30:30.000 It's exploring.

02:30:30.000 It's getting to places that are hard to get to.

02:30:32.000 And travel is a component of this.

02:30:34.000 There has to be difficulty.

02:30:36.000 And so they keep trying to make games that have no difficulty and nobody enjoys it.

02:30:42.000 There was a lot of people that were very against casual players, right?

02:30:47.000 Like 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.

02:30:58.000 Because 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.

02:31:04.000 And that's not what the studios wanted.

02:31:06.000 And so the idea of a difficult video game was something that was basically studios became allergic to.

02:31:11.000 They didn't understand guys like status. 0.94

02:31:14.000 Being able to say, I beat Mega Man 1, you go, oh shit, for real? 0.58

02:31:19.000 I think I only know like one dude who beat Mega Man 1. 0.98

02:31:19.000 Bro, I got to be honest. 0.98

02:31:22.000 I beat Mega Man 2 about the difference.

02:31:24.000 Sure.

02:31:25.000 That's the only one I owned.

02:31:26.000 See, Mega Man 2, it got easier.

02:31:26.000 No.

02:31:28.000 Three got easier.

02:31:29.000 Six was pretty easy. 1.00

02:31:30.000 Mega Man 1 was fucking retarded, difficult. 1.00

02:31:32.000 I mean, I haven't played it since I was a kid, but everyone knows it's notoriously difficult. 0.99

02:31:36.000 There were even games for Super Nintendo that you literally could not beat.

02:31:39.000 I forgot what game it was.

02:31:40.000 Battletoads was impossible.

02:31:41.000 That was Nintendo.

02:31:42.000 Teenage Man Controls 1 was so hard.

02:31:42.000 Oh, bro.

02:31:45.000 Impossible.

02:31:46.000 Executed, trying to swim.

02:31:47.000 You lose your turtle.

02:31:50.000 Now they call them roguelike games, which is basically if you die, the game's over.

02:31:54.000 Welcome to normal life in the 1980s and 90s.

02:31:57.000 So kind of like, I think the game was Night and Goals or something like that.

02:31:57.000 But look.

02:32:00.000 Ghosts and Ghouls.

02:32:01.000 Ghosts and Goals.

02:32:02.000 That game's so insanely.

02:32:02.000 Oh, bro.

02:32:03.000 That is super ghouls and goblins.

02:32:05.000 And just to get to the end and find out you had to do it all over again.

02:32:08.000 Oh, my goodness.

02:32:09.000 Ghosts and Goblins.

02:32:10.000 I beat that, though.

02:32:10.000 I actually did.

02:32:11.000 Really?

02:32:11.000 I beat Ghosts and Globlins when I was a kid.

02:32:13.000 On the Nintendo.

02:32:14.000 And I beat Trojan.

02:32:15.000 Yeah, I love that game.

02:32:16.000 It was awesome.

02:32:17.000 I loved.

02:32:17.000 What I would intentionally do is when the guy throws the bomb at you and it knocks your sword and shield away and then you go kung fu.

02:32:22.000 Yeah.

02:32:23.000 I would intentionally do that.

02:32:24.000 It was fun.

02:32:24.000 Why?

02:32:25.000 Oh, really?

02:32:25.000 Were you good with it?

02:32:26.000 Because it was challenging.

02:32:27.000 Yeah.

02:32:28.000 I'm a bad guy.

02:32:30.000 And then Trojan also had the versus mode, which the guy with the sword.

02:32:32.000 Yeah, dude.

02:32:33.000 But here's the point: video games used to be a challenge where it was difficult to earn status and you felt accomplished by doing it.

02:32:39.000 Now it's all like I click a button and I'm in a dungeon and I just hit the button and then I win.

02:32:44.000 Bro, you want to know what the most offended I ever was at a video game?

02:32:48.000 Marvel versus Capcom Infinity.

02:32:50.000 Why?

02:32:51.000 So Ultron.

02:32:54.000 Marvel versus Capcom 2 is the greatest fighting game ever made without a doubt.

02:32:59.000 What does it have?

02:32:59.000 Like 52 different characters, some insane amount of characters.

02:33:02.000 And it's actually difficult to do the combos in that fighting game.

02:33:06.000 And 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.

02:33:14.000 And then my friends got on like Dreamcast.

02:33:16.000 So 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.

02:33:26.000 And 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.

02:33:34.000 And he goes, boom, boom, boom, and then slams the guy into the ground.

02:33:37.000 But you had to figure out the button combinations to be able to do air combos.

02:33:41.000 And I had a buddy who was just like a Spider-Man master.

02:33:43.000 It was nuts.

02:33:44.000 He'd lock you down.

02:33:45.000 That game required skill to learn.

02:33:47.000 And when you got good, you were good and everyone knew it.

02:33:50.000 And then when Marvel's Capcom Infinite came out, I was like, I got to get it.

02:33:53.000 I got to get it.

02:33:54.000 And I was really excited because I love that the what you call it, Thanos.

02:34:00.000 It's Thanos more than the Infinity Stones.

02:34:04.000 He wants the, what you call it.

02:34:06.000 Love of the Lady Death.

02:34:07.000 Was it?

02:34:08.000 Well, that's the comics.

02:34:09.000 In Marvel's Capcom Infinite, he wants the surge of murderous intent.

02:34:13.000 I forgot.

02:34:14.000 I don't want to say it in Japanese from Ryu, which and Akuma.

02:34:17.000 And so, because it can kill gods.

02:34:20.000 And I'm like, this is going to be cool.

02:34:21.000 One button.

02:34:23.000 The game has one button.

02:34:24.000 Great.

02:34:25.000 All you do is go square, And I was like, can I turn this off?

02:34:28.000 And I was like, I couldn't.

02:34:29.000 I was like, I'm not playing this. 0.99

02:34:30.000 This is dumb. 0.92

02:34:31.000 You literally just press, you have a tech button. 0.98

02:34:34.000 It's like old school Nintendo, like pro wrestling.

02:34:36.000 Did you guys play that on the NES?

02:34:40.000 The R-Man, bro. 0.96

02:34:42.000 Well, I would only play Marvel versus Capcom 2 arcade version.

02:34:47.000 You know, we'd go to the Pizza Factory where we used to live and we'd just, there'd be a line there.

02:34:51.000 And me and my brother recall there was this young kid, maybe eight, nine years old, and his favorite character was Mega Man.

02:34:59.000 And no one could beat this kid.

02:35:01.000 No one could beat him, him with his three characters.

02:35:04.000 And we would spend two, three, four, $10 trying to beat him.

02:35:08.000 And it was amazing.

02:35:09.000 Anytime 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.

02:35:18.000 I don't play any other games.

02:35:19.000 I got a rule with my friends when we play PvP games now.

02:35:23.000 You play, if there's a bunch of us, you play two games and then you pass the controller, whether you won or lost.

02:35:28.000 It's a little communistic, maybe, like we're all equal.

02:35:30.000 But 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.

02:35:36.000 So, in order to equitize, we would just kind of like DEI.

02:35:40.000 More like DEI.

02:35:41.000 We added some DEI to the equation so everyone could get a turn.

02:35:43.000 Bro, Concord, legendary release.

02:35:48.000 No one played it.

02:35:48.000 Literally, no one played it.

02:35:49.000 They shut the game down in like two weeks.

02:35:51.000 Good grief.

02:35:52.000 That's how bad it was. 0.98

02:35:53.000 And it's because it was gay. 1.00

02:35:54.000 It was retarded gay communist bullshit. 1.00

02:35:56.000 Oh, presumably. 1.00

02:35:58.000 Was a well, to be fair, even the critics gave it 22%. 0.99

02:36:01.000 They're gay communists. 1.00

02:36:02.000 Women shouldn't make video games. 1.00

02:36:04.000 When the communists score it low, yeah.

02:36:07.000 Women can be involved in making video games. 1.00

02:36:10.000 11 days, bro.

02:36:12.000 Here we go.

02:36:14.000 This was it. 1.00

02:36:15.000 I hate this shit. 1.00

02:36:18.000 Play September 24. 1.00

02:36:20.000 I'm not going to play the full thing.

02:36:21.000 We'll go to callers in a second.

02:36:24.000 Music should be in minor, firstly.

02:36:31.000 I copy the imagery.

02:36:31.000 All right.

02:36:34.000 We need to suspend the bumper.

02:36:38.000 Looks good.

02:36:45.000 I hate it already.

02:36:47.000 Shrek, man.

02:36:47.000 Shrek just...

02:36:50.000 Rabbits are really nice.

02:36:52.000 It wasn't the plan.

02:36:55.000 It was a spontaneous, creative decision made after years of careful research.

02:37:00.000 Being really old and almost dying a bunch doesn't count as research.

02:37:03.000 Almost dying is the best way to learn how not to die.

02:37:05.000 This is like Team World Guardians of the Galaxy.

02:37:09.000 Two more minutes.

02:37:10.000 Hey, Starcha. 1.00

02:37:12.000 Bro, their release trailer only got 700,000 views.

02:37:15.000 And the brothers Overwatch had 46 million.

02:37:19.000 You can just instantly tell.

02:37:21.000 I don't want to watch this.

02:37:22.000 I don't want to watch that.

02:37:23.000 Bro, the last bastion, literally nothing is happening.

02:37:25.000 And you're just staring at the screen like, what's going on?

02:37:27.000 You lost me at the major chord in the beginning.

02:37:32.000 And then the girl dominating the guy. 1.00

02:37:34.000 Cutter.

02:37:35.000 Bro, it's just...

02:37:37.000 It's a children's movie.

02:37:54.000 Oh, this is gorgeous.

02:37:56.000 Fine.

02:37:57.000 He only got one of my legs.

02:38:07.000 How bad is it?

02:38:09.000 You're still mad at me.

02:38:10.000 Was this made by a woman? 0.99

02:38:11.000 Of course.

02:38:12.000 Without a shadow of a doubt.

02:38:13.000 I was going to say it right away because it's incoherent.

02:38:16.000 And I'm not trying to disparage all women, but I guarantee you, The Last Bastion and Brothers was made by dudes. 0.71

02:38:22.000 And like there's some guy being like, let's tell the story of a man who killed his brother and comes to regret it. 0.99

02:38:28.000 And his brother returns and you're like, damn. 0.98

02:38:30.000 This one, the guy is, are you still mad at me? 0.99

02:38:34.000 Asked the girl if she was still mad at him. 0.97

02:38:36.000 What the hell? 0.93

02:38:37.000 Who are you appealing to? 0.97

02:38:39.000 Yeah, the guy is comic belief.

02:38:41.000 The guy is comic really.

02:38:43.000 Not the hero.

02:38:43.000 He's comic really.

02:38:44.000 You know, he's the idiot. 1.00

02:38:47.000 And he should be the leader because he's a big, brawling, muscular guy. 1.00

02:38:47.000 Absolutely. 1.00

02:38:50.000 He should be the one carrying the heat.

02:38:52.000 You know what I will say is Exodus Rise of Jupiter or Rise of June Aslan.

02:38:57.000 Someone in the chat had we should watch it.

02:38:59.000 I think, as a really easy way to explain everything, it all feels like fanfic.

02:39:05.000 It feels like Tumblr fanfiction on our favorite IP.

02:39:08.000 Yeah, I bet it is kind of lumbar.

02:39:10.000 People got a hold of the IP, you get new CEOs coming in, don't know what they're doing.

02:39:10.000 Yeah.

02:39:13.000 You started at Disney.

02:39:14.000 It's like, it's women. 1.00

02:39:16.000 Anyway, we got to go to college, man.

02:39:18.000 Bring me freedoms and you can listen to us.

02:39:20.000 Freedom Eagle.

02:39:22.000 What's up?

02:39:24.000 How's everyone doing?

02:39:24.000 Not much.

02:39:25.000 Dude, I'm fucking lit up. 0.93

02:39:27.000 What's up, dude? 0.95

02:39:27.000 Doing good, man. 0.95

02:39:28.000 We're fired up.

02:39:29.000 You're tape.

02:39:30.000 I'm fired up. 0.97

02:39:31.000 Animal.

02:39:34.000 You, man, what's on the agenda?

02:39:35.000 Talk to us.

02:39:37.000 We're ready.

02:39:38.000 I have a bit of a three-part question here.

02:39:41.000 Whoa.

02:39:42.000 Give me all three parts.

02:39:43.000 Triple crown.

02:39:44.000 Separately.

02:39:45.000 So it's more two different questions.

02:39:47.000 One to two-parter.

02:39:48.000 First 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?

02:40:04.000 Yeah, 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.

02:40:12.000 You'd have to make new treaties with Russia or would have had to.

02:40:16.000 But 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.

02:40:27.000 I think that they don't hold any value at all.

02:40:29.000 And again, not that international law actually holds any value because it's all discretionary.

02:40:36.000 To that end, how far should we say it's too far in pushing that concept?

02:40:36.000 All right.

02:40:42.000 Like we have the weapons and space treaties that were made because of the dispute between the U.S. and USSR.

02:40:53.000 How far is too far?

02:40:56.000 Well, 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.

02:41:09.000 But 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?

02:41:17.000 And that's the way that it goes with everything, right?

02:41:19.000 Russia invaded Ukraine and the whole, all of Europe and the US condemned it.

02:41:24.000 But Russia still invaded Ukraine and they took Crimea and the whole international community condemned it.

02:41:32.000 But guess what?

02:41:33.000 Crimea is staying with Russia.

02:41:35.000 It's not going back to Ukraine.

02:41:37.000 The part of Ukraine that Russia currently occupies is likely going to become Russia when this is all said and done. 0.70

02:41:44.000 So, I mean, when it comes to agreements and stuff, there's international anarchy, basically.

02:41:51.000 States that have power exercise that power, states that don't don't.

02:41:56.000 And that's just the real politic of the world.

02:42:00.000 So how far should we go?

02:42:02.000 We should meet our treaty agreements when it's convenient.

02:42:07.000 And then when it's no longer convenient or if it's detrimental to the United States, then we break the treaties.

02:42:13.000 You could argue that what set off World War I was a series of people being like, hey, it says it in the treaties, so we have to.

02:42:19.000 They didn't want to go to war.

02:42:20.000 Like when, what was it, Austria-Hungary killed the Serbian king, some terrorists.

02:42:27.000 Austria-Hungary, a dude did that.

02:42:28.000 Yeah, he was the guy, and then that triggered the war between two Austria.

02:42:33.000 And then that caused the Germans to get involved, which caused the French to get involved, which caused the British to get involved. 0.57

02:42:38.000 And it was like, bro, if one of those guys just like fucked this treaty, that whole war might have been prevented. 0.88

02:42:45.000 Yeah, it makes sense. 0.98

02:42:46.000 That makes sense.

02:42:47.000 But it might also set off, you know, German hegemony.

02:42:50.000 Sorry, what were we saying?

02:42:50.000 Who knows?

02:42:53.000 For 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.

02:43:13.000 They had orders to shoot to kill at the time. 0.99
